The issue of safety has always been one of the most important topics for the automotive industry. The announcement made by Toyota last year for the recall of their defective vehicles only serves to highlight how costly defects can be not only for the company’s balance sheet but also costly in terms of eroded consumers’ confidence. New technologies introduced to enhance vehicle control and driver assistance have now become standard accessories rather than optional. In addition, a recent regulation approved by the European Parliament laid out the requirements for type approvals of motor vehicles on their safety aspects calls for the introduction of these new safety features as a prerequisite. As such, the need for an internationally recognized standard for safety critical systems becomes more crucial to measure how safe a system is.
Unlike other industries, detailed discussions about functional safety in the automotive industry only began a few years ago. One of the reasons was that there was a prevailing view that the risks posed as a result of mechanical failures are still within the control of the driver. A driver merely had to stop the motor vehicle to bring the motor vehicle to a safe state. But we now know that this is not always possible when there is a failure in the drive-by-wire throttle system, as illustrated in the cases of gas pedal failures in Toyota cars in 2010.
Although there were existing standards on functional safety like the IEC 61508, this standard is not dedicated to the auto industry. The application of a non dedicated functional safety standard within different firms will not result in harmonization of functional safety objectives as different interpretations of the standard will ensue.

Rice pledging was introduced more than 30 years ago to help cash-strapped Thai farmers.
In theory, the farmers would "pledge" their padi with the government at a certain price when the harvest season began - when surplus stock depressed prices - and then redeem it for sale on the open market at the season's end, when prices surged.
The Puea Thai party-led government, however, offered farmers some 50 per cent above the market price and put no limit on how much padi it would buy.
Farmers ramped up production, leaving state warehouses with some 18 million tonnes of padi by the time the government was ousted by a coup in 2014.
Thailand lost its position as a top rice exporter after Thai commercial exporters found they could not match the government's prices.
Critics say the rice-pledging scheme was also riddled with corruption.

I had an issue with my Windows 8 PC recently, I had set it so that whenever it was not used for 30 minutes the screen to shut down and the after 60 minutes for the PC to go into hibernation, sure enough the screen would go off but the PC no matter what would not go into standby ( hibernation ), I created numerous profiles and tested accordingly. No matter what the Windows 8 PC would not go into standy by. Other symptoms where that even when it did go into standby in the morning I would find the the pc would be awake in the morning without me even touching it, it would not stay in hibernate.
Why Wont My Windows 8 Hibernate
It turns out that an application was stopping my pc from going into standby ( in my case it was anti virus. ). To see what applications are stopping your Windows * PC from going into Standby / Hibernate you need to run the command below.
Once ran it will list the application that is causing the issue. Check the settings on the application accordingly and the machine will then be able to go into standby.
Another step I tried in case it was network traffic was to stop the NIC from waking the PC, to do this check the following setting.
Control Panel > System Device Manager > Network Adapters> NIC Properties > Power Management, then deselect the option “Allow this device to wake the computer” .

A PRIEST has hit out at funeral-goers who use symbols like fags and beer cans to commentate a dead loved one's life.
Controversial priest Fr Tomas Walsh spoke out about gifts and long tributes in the Cork Northside Gurranabraher newsletter.
Writing about items being brought to the altar as offertory gift, he said: “Bringing things such as a can of beer, a packet of cigarettes, a remote control, a mobile phone, or a football jersey does not tell us anything uplifting about the person who has died.
“Surely items such as a flower, a family photograph, a prayer-book or rosary reveals far more about the person who has died — and the loss he/she is to the family who grieve.”
Fr Walsh also expressed frustration with eulogies that go on “for as long as the Mass itself."
The cleric — who has previously been outspoken about couples choosing godparents for their children who lack faith — said a funeral Mass is simply about praying for the dead.
He said: “A Requiem Mass is essentially the coming together of the family along with the believing community to pray for the person who has died.
Most Read in News
"At the hour of death — as we begin the journey home to God and to judgement — we desperately need God’s mercy and forgiveness, no matter how edifying the life of the person may seem.”
Meanwhile, in an interview with The Echo earlier this year Fr Walsh criticised parents who are selecting non-believers as godparents to their children.
The priest said many times parents chose godparents who had “no faith at all” and who have “no intention in overseeing the child’s faith formation”.

My African Dream
My African Dream is a foundation created by friends Palesa Amadi & Valerie Sibanda. Being from the Southern African Diaspora we have a shared purpose of removing any obstacles that may deny a child the right to their education and freedom to be able to live out their dreams.
We have partnered with schools to ensure children are able to study without having to worry about clothes, lunch, sanitary towels, how to get to school or books!
Our 1st initiative takes us to a community called Moteti in Limpopo province, South Africa where we aim to raise awareness and reduce period poverty in the schools. All the money raised for our End Period Poverty campaign will go towards buying reusable sanitary towels for 200 young girls in the community.
We will be travelling to South Africa to deliver the goods personally, and we'll make sure to take plenty of pictures for you!
We will be looking at South Africa and Zimbabwe as a start with a Vision to grow across Africa! Help us to build a sustainable and successful Africa! Help us make Young people's dreams come to life. The future of Africa is in your hands & they are the future!
Follow us on Social Media!
Please help us and support this exciting cause! We aim to remove any obstacles blocking children from receiving their right to education. Our first initiative looks to eradicate Period Poverty from the South African District of Moteti! Join us & donate!

Wyse Thin Clients Fend Off Destructive Nimda Virus While Saving Customers Millions of Dollars
SAN JOSE, Calif. (09/24/01) ----- Wyse® Technology, the worldwide leader in thin-client computing, today announced that its Winterm™ line of thin-client desktops are immune to the Nimda worm and have been protecting businesses from this recent malicious virus attack. As companies and organizations reel from the millions of dollars worth of damage and lost productivity worldwide caused by Nimda, businesses that have been using Wyse Winterm thin clients have not had to cope with infected desktop devices. Unlike PC's, which have been most vulnerable to Nimda, Wyse Winterm thin clients store and access information from central servers, making then immune to attacks by malicious codes, worms, viruses and trojan horses.
The thin-client environment inherently provides protection from viruses and other aggressive attacks to critical information systems, saving companies millions of dollars. US-based Computer Economics, a leading research firm in the IT industry, recently reported that Nimda caused estimated damages of $370 million worldwide, which includes costs from lost productivity, the need to upgrade or replace damaged systems and IT consulting costs. In a thin- client environment, viruses never touch the desktop device, enabling IT managers to focus on protecting a few servers rather than thousands of desktops.
Wyse Resellers Help Customers Fight Viruses
The adoption of thin clients by enterprises will continue to increase with the growing number of attacks and infections upon personal computers. Wyse Winterm thin clients are a simpler and easier way to deliver the productivity and application flexibility of a personal computer (PC) without the "PC downside" of high service costs, low reliability, and short product life. Resellers such as Vector ESP, a Wyse gold authorized reseller in Benicia, Calif., recognize the security and reliability of thin-client computing.
"Nimda hasn't affected our thin-client based customers," said Sean Thomas, solutions analyst of Vector ESP, "Because Wyse thin clients are connected to servers with security software specifically setup to not allow viruses such as Nimda to execute, the end the end user is never affected."
About the Nimda Worm
W32/Nimda@MM is a destructive mass-mailing (@mm) worm that sends copies of itself to all the e-mail addresses in the infected users' address books. In addition, Nimda probes HTTP Port 80, including those on unpatched IIS servers. The worm itself is a compiled executable with varying file names. The worm spreads by emailing itself as an attachment, scanning for and then infecting vulnerable Web servers running Microsoft's IIS software. Much of the worm's virulence is due to its automated spread.
"Today's economic challenges and security concerns are causing companies to take a hard look at their computer systems," said George Skaff, vice president of worldwide marketing for Wyse Technology. "Many companies are turning to Wyse because of our continuous commitment to providing secure solutions."

The Disney Wonder transited the Panama Canal on April 29, making it the first passenger vessel to go through the canal’s new set of locks, marking a milestone for the cruise industry.
I transited the original locks just a couple weeks ago and didn’t realize the new locks are just a few hundred feet east. In the above photo you can see a red and white ship in the background preparing to enter the “old” Gatun Locks.
For some background on Disney Wonder, the ship was transformed in late 2016, expanding the length of the Disney Wonder to 984 feet and accommodating 2713 guests. Headlining the ship’s enhancements are new imaginative spaces for children – including areas themed to the Marvel Universe and Disney’s “Frozen” – a jazzy restaurant inspired by Disney’s “Princess and the Frog,” and an authentic neighborhood English pub with subtle nods to classic Disney films.
The Disney Wonder Panama Canal crossing is part of a 14-night voyage from Port Canaveral, Fla., to San Diego, where the ship will sail cruises to Baja, Mexico, before a summer season from Vancouver to Alaska.
March 16, 2017 – Caribbean Princess will undergo an extensive two-week drydock in Freeport, Bahamas, March 26-April 6. She will emerge with new features including Camp Discovery Youth & Teen Center, upgraded Movies Under the Stars, Princess Luxury Bed and interconnecting staterooms. The cruise ship will also be wired for the Ocean Medallion launch that will be available for the 2018 summer Caribbean season.
New Caribbean Princess family-friendly features include:
For cruisers ages 3-17, Caribbean Princess will now offer a reimagined youth center – Camp Discovery – created in partnership with Discovery Consumer Products, the licensing arm of Discovery Communications, as part of the cruise line’s Discovery at Sea program. Catering to specific age groups, there are three themes where kids and teens can make new friends and participate in activities specially designed to help them Discover, Play, Create and Huddle, including:
The Treehouse, ages 3-7 (formerly Pelicans): A bright, whimsical forest and animal-themed center including captivating creatures and hands-on activities for kids to focus on play time, creativity and the world around them.
The Lodge, ages 8-12 (formerly Shockwaves): Inspired by the great outdoors, this cozy center is filled with sports activities and fun places for kids to explore, hang out and lounge.
The Beach House, for ages 13-17 (formerly Remix) offers a contemporary surf-themed lounge, featuring a cool place for teens to hang out and socialize.
New youth and teen center programming includes MythBusters science activities with new hands-on challenges, featuring show star, Tory Belleci. In addition, new Camp Discovery destination-themed programs focusing on Europe and the Caribbean will be offered.
Caribbean Princess debuts 87 interconnecting staterooms, offering more room and comfort for all family members to enjoy.
A new HD Movies Under the Stars outdoor movie screen will offer a higher resolution picture with double the image quality of previous systems.
Caribbean Princess will receive 3,200 new Princess Luxury Beds and linens. Developed in collaboration with board-certified sleep expert, Dr. Michael Breus and HGTV designer Candice Olson, the bed combines the science of sleep with the pinnacle of design.
In addition, Caribbean Princess offers Club Class Mini-Suites, the new premium stateroom category featuring VIP amenities and exclusive dining. This elevated mini-suite category features select perks including new Club Class Dining, a reserved dining area with expedited seating and expanded menu options as well as priority embarkation and disembarkation.
Europe 2017 and 2017 – 2018 Caribbean
The newly renovated Caribbean Princess will start her Europe season with a Transatlantic sailing on April 6th, continuing throughout the summer in the British Isles with sailings featuring ports in Scotland, Ireland, and Iceland.
She will then visit the Panama Canal in October, transiting the new Agua Clara locks, and spending the holiday season in the Caribbean.
Additionally, for the first time in four years, Princess Cruises offers Summer Caribbean cruises, including Panama Canal transits in 2018. The Caribbean Princess returns to sail on a full summer season of voyages ranging from seven-day Eastern and Western Caribbean to a 20-day Caribbean and Panama Canal Explorer.
The 2018 April to October summer program features 47 departures, roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, including eight unique itineraries visiting 23 destinations in 22 countries. In addition, four ports offer late night stays so guests have more time to explore the evening offerings these destinations have to offer.

An autonomous plane is being developed by the tech giant Google-backed company Merlin Labs, though this does not mean that the jet will fly itself fully automatically.
Merlin Labs is working on technology that allows an airplane’s flight gear and control panel to operate independently. The company said that it is developing the ultimate autonomous system for all flying objects.
The breakthrough technology company had been in stealth mode until May 26, when it announced that it had raised $25 million in funding from GV previously Google Ventures and First Round Capital.
It stated that the team had completed hundreds of autonomous missions on a variety of aircraft types, including complex twin-turboprop aircraft. The Merlin Labs autonomy platform is aircraft-agnostic, focuses on onboard autonomy rather than remote piloting, and is being integrated into a wide range of public and private aircraft.
The US-based company has also announced a 55-aircraft partnership with Dynamic Aviation, the owners of the world’s largest private King Air fleet. On the same day, the company posted a video on YouTube detailing how it began working on the technology in 2018 and successfully landed for the first time in 2019.
Merlin Co-founder and CEO Mr. Matthew George said in a statement that the company is excited to join with Dynamic to start the process of taking autonomy from the lab to the market.
Mr. Michael Stoltzfus, Dynamic Aviation CEO stated that they are honored to have Merlin as a partner and that they will use this cutting-edge technology in an operational platform.
Merlin Labs stated that its goal is to allow an aircraft to make its judgments with only a pilot there to observe it. The company’s long-term goal is to “enable aircraft to fly safely without a human on board.”

“Minor Detail” is almost a thriller, recounting a historical horror story: the rape and murder of a young Arab Bedouin girl by Israeli soldiers in 1949.
A timeline detailing the true-life incident alternates with that of a fictional young woman in present-day Ramallah who becomes obsessed with the crime, which was revealed decades later in the pages of the Haaretz daily.
Twenty soldiers involved in the 1949 rape and murder were sent to military prison; then-prime minister David Ben Gurion deemed the assault a “horrific atrocity,” according to Haaretz.
Also nominated is “In Memory of Memory” by Russian writer Maria Stepanova, in which a woman recreates the memories of her Jewish family’s survival through a century of persecution following the death of her aunt.

According to plans presented by developer Madison Realty Capital, the taller of the two structures — to be located at the southeast corner of 69th Street and Queens Boulevard — will feature 17 stories and rise 181 feet into the air.
The shorter building — across the plot from its counterpart — will feature 14 stories, stand 151 feet tall and sit at the northwest corner of 70th Street and 47th Avenue.
Within the two structures, Madison Realty Capital plans to create 561 residential rental units, including 112 dwellings of affordable housing for residents making 80 percent of the area median income — about $62,000 for a family of three.
Connecting the buildings -— which will contain about 5,600 square feet of ground-floor retail space — will be a courtyard to be built atop a parking garage that will contain 242 spots.
Of the approximately 100 people in attendance at the meeting, no one spoke in favor of the plan. Most of those who took the microphone to shred it were members of the NYC District Council of Carpenters, all of whom donned green or black union shirts.
Many of them asked if a commitment to use organized labor could be made, but Ross Moskowitz, an attorney representing Madison Realty, and other present officials affiliated with the developer responded by saying that it was too early in the process to decide.
That sparked jeers from some in the crowd, with one man even asking how many people the developer expect to die on the job if it decides to hire nonunion workers.

Set Sail with "A Sea Symphony"
Opening weekend is always a favorite when the Grant Park Chorus joins the orchestra for their first concert of the summer. This year will be no exception.
Last performed at the Festival in 2005 is Ralph Vaughan Williams' symphonic masterpiece A Sea Symphony, based on Walt Whitman's celebrated poetry collection, Leaves of Grass. Soprano Sara Jakubiak and baritone David John Pike, who made his Festival debut last year in The Epic of Gilgamesh, join the Chorus.
"It's unusual to hear A Sea Symphony in the States, as it's rarely performed—yet when it is, listeners and musicians alike marvel and wonder why it's not done more often," said Christopher Bell, who has been preparing the chorus on this work since late May. "It's both dramatic and melodic."
"It's a gorgeous work, with timely and human messages of universality and transcendence," agreed Pike, who looks forward to his return to the Festival. "In addition to a rapturous duet with Sara Jakubiak, one of the best moments for the soloists will be the third movement when we can sit back and listen to the fabulous Grant Park Chorus as they conjure up the stormy seas."
Audiences will be swept up in this ocean voyage, which serves as a metaphor for an individual's journey of life. The powerful tone and virtuosic dexterity of the chorus and soloists, coupled with Vaughan Williams' sumptuous music and Walt Whitman's lyrical poetry, make this a concert not to be missed.
The Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus perform A Sea Symphony on June 16 and 17.


North Korea has launched another missile, its longest-ever such flight, sending Japanese citizens to shelters briefly and prompting an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss the country's advancing weapons program.
The missile reached an altitude of about 770 kilometres and flew for about 19 minutes over a distance of about 3700 kilometres, according to South Korea's military - far enough to reach the US Pacific territory of Guam.
The missile flew over the northern island of Hokkaido before landing in the Pacific Ocean, Japanese national broadcaster NHK said.
The United Nations Security Council was to meet at 3pm on Friday at the request of the United States and Japan, diplomats said, just days after the 15-member council unanimously stepped up sanctions against North Korea over its September 3 nuclear test. Those sanctions imposed a ban on the country's textile exports and capped imports of crude oil.
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said that North Korea's missile launch over Japan "put millions of Japanese into duck and cover" before it landed in the ocean. Top US officials had fully co-ordinated after the test launch, he said.
"We have just got done with the calls we always make to co-ordinate among ourselves. Steady as she goes," Mattis told reporters travelling with him during a visit to the US Strategic Command, which oversees US nuclear forces.
Japanese media reported the missile fell into the Ocean "2000 kilometres off the cape of Erimo in Hokkaido at around 7.16am local time".
The missile was fired eastward from the Sunan district in North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, South Korea's military said.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono said he thought the missile was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), given its firing range, public broadcaster NHK reported.
China and Russia
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has urged China and Russia to take direct action against North Korea in response to the launch.
"China and Russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless missile launches by taking direct actions of their own," Tillerson said in a statement.
He said China supplies North Korea with most of its oil and "Russia is the largest employer of North Korean forced labour".
The South Korean and US militaries were analysing details of the launch, the South's Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
South Korea's presidential Blue House called an urgent National Security Council meeting.
In July, North Korea fired two ICBMs on steep trajectories into the sea between the Korean peninsula and Japan. The regime said those launches put the entire US in its range.
North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test - of what is believed to have been a hydrogen bomb - on September 3.
The North has launched more than a dozen missiles this year as its leader Kim Jong-un seeks the capability to hit the continental US with an atomic weapon.
US President Donald Trump has said all options - including military - are on the table to stop North Korea from threatening the US.
The North previously launched a ballistic missile from Sunan on August 29; it flew over Japan's Hokkaido island and landed in the Pacific waters.
Yoshihide Suga, Japan's government spokesman, told reporters that Friday's situation was similar to that of the August 29 test.
Japan protested against Friday's launch in the strongest terms and said it would take appropriate and timely action at the United Nations and elsewhere, staying in close contact with the US and South Korea, Suga told reporters.
On Monday, the UN Security Council approved new sanctions against the North for its September 3 test after the US dropped key demands such as an oil embargo to win support from Russia and China, both of which can veto any proposals.
The resolution seeks to limit oil imports, ban textile exports and increase inspections of ships suspected of carrying cargo in breach of sanctions.
The North threatened to sink Japan and reduce the US to "ashes and darkness" for supporting the Security Council resolution.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the recently passed sanctions were working to "bring the regime to its senses".
"Now, it needs to be concerted, global action, because, as you know, as I have said here before, the country with the greatest economic leverage over North Korea is China."
He also stressed China's role in seeking to affect North Korea's behaviour.
"The Chinese are dismayed by the conduct of North Korea, but they have been allies for a very long time. A lot of history there.
"But it is important for China to continue increasing these sanctions until we see a change of course by North Korea and it is good to see that they are doing that."
The US dollar fell sharply against the safe-haven yen and Swiss franc in early Asian hours on Friday on reports of the missile launch, though losses were quickly pared back in very jittery trade.
The dollar sank over half a yen to as deep as 109.55 yen in a blink, before rebounding to 110.01.
North Korea's September 3 test, the first nuclear test since Trump took office, was a "perfect success" and confirmed the precision and technology of the bomb, the Korean Central News Agency said.
Kim claimed that his regime could mount a hydrogen bomb onto an ICBM.
While North Korea's ICBM threat is growing, the US military says it's not yet imminent.
Kim's regime has yet to demonstrate that it can accurately guide a long-range missile to a target with a nuclear warhead that survives the trip, General Paul Selva, the No.2 US military official said in a statement last month.
The chief of US Strategic Command said on Thursday that the size, yield and other indications seen in the September 3 test "equates to a hydrogen bomb" and that he must now assume Pyongyang can build one.
Air Force General John Hyten, who oversees US nuclear forces and monitors North Korea, told reporters that he could not confirm a hydrogen bomb was tested but the test was significant "because of the sheer destruction and damage you can use and create with a weapon of that size".
The blast is believed to have been at least 100 kilotons in size, large enough to reshape the size of the mountain above the test site that Pyongyang used.
"The change from the original atomic bomb to the hydrogen changed our entire deterrent relationship with the Soviet Union," Hyten said.
"It is significantly of concern not just to Strategic Command, but to everybody in the free world. It should be of concern to people in the neighbourhood, which is Japan and Korea, as well as China and Russia."

Hand a book to your baby and guess what will happen. I’ll bet you can imagine many things that would happen to books in those curious little hands. From holding and touching to banging, tossing, pulling and flinging (maybe even an attempted chewing or two). But not to worry, friends, as this is exactly what board books are meant for!
Yes, board books, those small, rectangular books with the almost unbendable strong paper or plastic pages. These little buddies hold up to wear and tear better than just about any book out there, which is good, because the tactile experience of holding a book is not only fun for little hands, but it is also oh so valuable. Learning to read is a long process, and that starts with the very first steps: learning what a book is, how to hold it, how to turn a page and finding out that, on the inside, books hold stories and pictures.
It’s important that reading time and book time are fun times. So that means, when reasonably possible, it's good to avoid scolding or prying away a book because it has become a toy. It’s natural for many of us to get a bit precious with our books. After all, books are fabulous things and we want to treat them kindly. But ultimately, books are a tool, and such a critical tool to let babies have (and hold and bang and pinch and explore.) That's where board books come in.
When you read a board book with your child talk about the book itself. What does it feel like and how do you wrap tiny fingers around it? Board books serve as a great introduction to reading. Because they're durable, it's OK for the book to be a toy - really!. The more book time is a fun time of day, the more reading will be a fun activity. Healthy heaps of play and bonding, more so than the actual reading part, are what makes early reading a memorable and meaningful activity for you and your little one.
So board books are amazing. Here are a few cool things to try with your next board book:
• Look closely at a board book when you open a page on a flat surface. You may notice the next page starts to flip. This is a built-in tutorial for babies to learn how to flip the pages of books to see more. It’s a small, but important revelation on the road to reading.
• Look for board books with textures and varied surfaces. There are so many possibilities for your child to learn by touch, sight and sound.
• Go wild! Make sounds using your board book. Tap it, shut it, flick it and knock on it to make an book orchestra.
• Wear a board book like a hat.
• Stack your board books up in a book tower.
• Be silly!
• Model reading for your little one. Show them what you do with a book, try reading or turning pages together, follow the words with your finger and gently guide your baby's hand.
In the end, book time should be a fun time, and there’s no real right or wrong way to go about it. Make your own games, set off on your own adventures and don't be too afraid to scuff up a book even a library book here or there.

The No. 10 UConn women’s basketball team (13-4, 8-0) will begin a tough week tonight in Omaha, Nebraska, where it is set to take on the Creighton Bluejays (15-5, 10-2), the second place team in the Big East.
The Bluejays, coached by Jim Flanery, are having a phenomenal season, as they currently sit at No. 32 in the nation in the NET Rankings and are projected to be a Np. 10 seed in ESPN’s latest Bracketology, to go along with a vote in the latest AP Poll. This campaign includes a win against Arkansas in Fayetteville, a team currently receiving AP votes. Creighton’s schedule also features a close loss to Nebraska, which is also receiving votes and has been ranked this year.
The Huskies and Bluejays have already played once in an early January matinee that came down to the wire in Storrs. The low-scoring, 63-55 UConn win saw a stellar performance by freshman guard Caroline Ducharme, who added 17 points.
Morgan Maly impressed for the Bluejays in that game, with 14 points and five boards in just 23 minutes. On the season, Maly is averaging a solid 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 dimes, along with 35% three-point shooting. A consistent contributor for Creighton all year, Maly has scored at least seven points in all but one game and has hit double figures in 14 out of 20. If the Bluejays want to knock out the Huskies this time around, Maly will need to be on point.
Another player to watch for will be Creighton’s Emma Ronsiek. The 6-foot-1 sophomore forward is having an excellent season, scoring 14.8 points per game, grabbing 4.6 boards and collecting 2.1 assists. This comes on an incredibly efficient 54.4% from the field, which is 31st in the NCAA. Ronsiek did well, but not well enough last month against UConn, scoring ten points and collecting four boards. She performed considerably better in a mid-January weekend series against Seton Hall and St. Johns, accumulating 57 points in those two games alone. Ronsiek is capable of torching teams on any given night, so the Huskies will have to be careful defending her as she looks for revenge.
For the Huskies, a player to keep an eye on will be freshman Azzi Fudd. The Huskies hit just five threes against Creighton last time, in a game where Fudd was absent due to a foot injury. This time, Fudd should be able to add a scoring punch with her electric shooting. After the Providence game, coach Geno Auriemma lamented the freshman’s lack of aggressiveness and will likely be pushing her to take more shots this time. In her two games since returning from injury, Fudd scored 15 points in a win at DePaul on 6-for-10 shooting in 23 minutes. The Providence game turned out to be just the opposite, as Fudd got six more minutes, but delivered 10 fewer points. This will mark her seventh game of the year.
A second player who will be important to the Huskies effort will be senior guard Christyn Williams. After a weak stretch of the season where Williams averaged just 12.5 points across seven games, she is back and better than ever, averaging 18.5 in the four games since.
“I think [Williams] has been one of the bright spots,” Auriemma said after the Providence game. “She really had it going before COVID, and then she had to take the break… She’s at her best when she’s being aggressive and not settling. I think she’s in a really good place right now.”
Another thing to watch for will be whether or not Dorka Juhasz plays. Juhasz was out with a stress reaction for the Providence game and is listed as day-to-day.
The contest will air at 7:30 p.m. EST on SNY.

I have written about my chronic pain a few times. I have migraines that at one time were basically constant. They would get so bad I was ending up in the ER several times a month. I have muscle and bone pain from damage caused by two of my cancer surgeries. I get kidney stones. Sometimes thyroid patients just hurt – if their TSH is not where it should be, if they have calcium or vitamin D issues. I go through that periodically. I also have low magnesium, that was part of the problem with my migraines and it can also cause problems with muscle and joint pain.
I started seeing a pain intervention doctor. He has changed my life. He has gotten my migraines almost completely under control. He has gotten my chest and neck pain at least 80% better. My magnesium and D and calcium and TSH are all well regulated right now and I haven’t had any bad kidney stones in a while.
It used to be that traveling would trigger migraines. Driving or sitting for long periods would irritate my neck. Driving and doing anything with my arms (carrying things, having a backpack on, helping my son, shopping with a cart, vacuuming) would irritate my chest. Basically traveling had become difficult because not only was I in pain, but I couldn’t enjoy the time with family and friends like I wanted to. I had to spend more money because I had to stop at hotels more often – I could drive maybe 4 hours before I became exhausted and in too much pain to go on.
I told my pain doctor thank you the other day.
Our Florida trip was the first vacation in over 6 years that I have been able to really enjoy. I truly didn’t have any pain issues on this trip except one migraine that was controlled in a few hours with my medicines. It wasn’t so bad I needed the ER or even had to go lie down.
Let me repeat that.
This is the first vacation with my son and husband I have EVER truly enjoyed.
It was amazing.
I almost started crying when I told my doctor this. I think he was a little overcome too.
My neurologist has helped tweak a few things to keep from getting the few breakthrough migraines I get. Changed the dose of my magnesium and the kind I take, changed how I take my medicine the week of my botox shots and the week I have my period. Added some small things like muscle relaxers. Told me to quit caffeine.
I also told her the exciting news when I saw her this week. She is working with my pain doc.
Please, If you have chronic pain, please don’t give up. Keep asking for help until you find it. I literally went through five and a half years of constant pain and a whole folder full of doctors before I found people who could help. I had decided no one could help me. I had decided doctors were too frustrating to deal with. I just needed to find the right doctors. I had gone to 2 other neurologists that didn’t help, physical therapy that helped a little, 3 chest surgeons. Heck, I even begged and pleaded and enlisted my neck surgeon to have a thoracic surgeon try to fix my chest the last surgery I had. I had tried so many meds and so many changes to my life. I was still suffering to the point that my life was not fulfilling.
Having major chronic pain changes a person. Being mostly pain free or at least diminished, I feel much more like my old self now.
I still get fatigued, but that I can work with.
I am just so happy that I have gotten to this point, and it gives me hope for my future. I had resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn’t ever be like I used to be. I’m not the same person I was over 6 years when this journey began, but I am now able to enjoy life and family and having fun much more.

Crop Rotation on Organic Farms
National Organic Program Standards for Crop Rotation
Organic producers are required under the National Organic Program (NOP) rules to choose crop rotations on the farm whether they grow field crops, vegetables, hay, cover crops, or all of the above. The NOP defines “crop rotation as, the practice of alternating the annual crops grown on a specific field in a planned pattern or sequence in successive crop years so that crops of the same species or family are not grown repeatedly without interruption on the same field. Perennial cropping systems employ means such as alley cropping, intercropping, and hedgerows to introduce biological diversity in lieu of crop rotation.” Long-term three to seven year rotations provide the most benefit, but short-term rotations may also be compliant. While crop rotation is part of the rule and is an integral part of the Organic System Plan (which is considered incomplete without a plan), there is no one right way to create a compliant and successful crop rotation plan. Simply including a fallow period could be a start, but a sustainable rotation will require more diversity over the long run. Organic production systems will have difficulty meeting crop nutrition needs if crops that require high levels of fertility are grown frequently. Heavy feeders (e.g., lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, corn, etc.) produce more when rotated with light feeders (e.g., carrots, turnips, radishes, beets, etc.) and nitrogen-fixing legumes.
USDA Organic Regulations on Crop Rotation Practice Standards
The intent of the following NOP standards is to promote crop rotations that improve the soil, minimize weed and other pest problems, and provide erosion control.
Section 205.205 Crop Rotation Practice Standard
National Organic Program (NOP) Crop Rotation (§ 205.205) is defined as “alternating annual crops grown on a specific field in a planned pattern or sequence in successive crop years so that crops of the same species or family are not grown repeatedly without interruption on the same field.” NOP § 205.205 states that a producer must implement a crop rotation including but not limited to sod, cover crops, green manure crops, and catch crops that provide the following functions that are applicable to the operation:
Section 205.203 Soil Fertility and Crop Nutrient Management Practice Standard
(b) The producer must manage crop nutrients and soil fertility through rotations, cover crops, and the application of plant and animal materials
Section 205.206 Crop Pest, Weed, and Disease Management Practice Standard
(a) The producer must use management practices to prevent crop pests, weeds, and diseases including but not limited to:
(1) Crop rotation and soil and crop nutrient management practices, as provided for in §§ 205.203 and 205.205;
It is up to the certifying agency to determine that the farmer is implementing a sound crop rotation on the land that is farmed. Certifying agencies require proper record keeping of the planned sequence of crops in each identified field. Criteria to judge compliance with the standards are subjective. No technical measurement tools are required to evaluate the effectiveness of a rotation for building organic matter or controlling erosion. The NOP standards do not state how frequently a crop can appear in the rotation. Also, the standards do not state that a farmer must include a cover crop or green manure crops in the rotation. Such practices may not be advisable in certain situations, as in dry years in the Great Plains.
Perennial Cropping Systems
Section 205.205, the crop rotation practice standard, is meant to ensure that the farmer implements practices that will maintain soil organic matter, control pests, conserve nutrients, and protect the soil against erosion. For growers of annual crops, those practices typically include crop rotation, but other practices can be substituted if rotation is not practical. Some perennials will be part of a long-term crop rotation, which may last a few years or even decades. Asparagus, for example, is a perennial that can be productive for 15 years or more. When a field is taken out of asparagus production, it is typically planted with another crop to reduce the incidence of soilborne disease.

COVID-19: $81m worth of vaccines paid for not delivered – Auditor-General
The Auditor-General is reporting that US$80m worth of vaccines paid for by the government of Ghana has not been delivered.
According to the A-G's report, the government paid over US$120m to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT) for vaccines but only US$38m worth was delivered as of the time of the pandemic.
The Auditor-General has, thus, recommended that the Chief Director of the Health Ministry be made to renegotiate and recover the outstanding balance.
This, according to the A-G, must be done immediately to ensure the amount is recovered to the state.
“We noted that the Ministry of Health on behalf of the government of Ghana paid an amount of $120,192,379.80 to UNICEF/AVAT for the supply of vaccines.
“However, 5,109,600.00 doses of vaccines valued at $38,322,000.00 were supplied to the National Cold Room leaving a difference of US$81,870,379.00 with UNICEF/AVAT.
“We recommend that the Chief Director of the Ministry of Health should renegotiate with UNICEF/AVAT to recover the outstanding amount,” he said.
Meanwhile, the report also stated that over US$2.5bn (¢21bn) of monies mobilised for the fight against Covid-19, only 25% (¢5.5) was used on health.
The A-G added that the balance was spent on government programmes such as Free SHS and LEAP, among others.

Future of Global Health and Healthcare
The interaction between human beings and machines has enabled us to achieve incredible things. Now, as we enter a new era of brain-computer interfaces, we should prepare ourselves for innovations that will transform the way we learn, communicate and control devices – and perhaps even each other.
Traditional human-computer interactions can already be described as brain-computer interfaces (BCI): Our intentions are sent from our brain to the computer through our fingers, via a keyboard, or through a camera that tracks eye movement. However, a more specific definition of BCI describes the ability of computers to read, interpret and act on our thoughts using electroencephalography (EEG).
In a recent experiment at the University of Washington, a researcher mentally controlled the hand movements of his colleague by sending EEG signals over the internet. At Princeton University, scientists have used EEG to show that when someone understands what you are saying, their brain waves begin to synchronise with yours – they are literally on the same wavelength. If this connection can be captured, measured and transmitted, we will soon be able to modify it.
Over the next decade, the ability to control individual machines through EEG will gradually develop, with a broad range of applications ranging from computer games to robotics and prosthetics. We are still a long way from sci-fi clichés such as interface sockets embedded in human spines, or the ability to learn kung fu by downloading a program directly into our brains; it’s hard to even imagine the biological basis for ‘downloading’ a skill. But BCI could certainly help with skill acquisition. My team is currently working with the United States Navy on a project that uses both BCI and physiological sensing to optimize individual and team training. You could soon have a computer that acts as an intelligent tutor, using BCI to sense when your attention wanders, and re-structuring the lesson to set an efficient pace of study.
In time, we will be able to use BCI for simple tasks such as controlling the cursor on a computer screen, or interacting, hands-free, with mobile phones. But in the more distant future, advances in BCI will have huge ramifications for the interaction between human beings. Some colleagues and I have used the term ‘cognitive coupling’ to describe the synchronization of neural signals between people. In simple terms, you could say that we are looking at the idea of ‘connecting the crowd to the cloud’.
As we move from networking devices through the Internet of Things to networked humans, we’ll witness a revolution for brain-computer interaction. By capturing human cognition, capabilities and actions, and putting them in a connected environment, we could become – to borrow a term from Star Trek – a global Borg community, albeit an empathic one.
In the popular TV series, the Borg is a collective of cybernetic humanoids interconnected to function as the drones of ‘the Hive’. The image of a Borg society suggests two potential – if extreme – outcomes. In the dystopian depiction, people no longer have a choice over their actions – an external mind, more powerful than yours, would control your every move. The other imagining would see us build an empathic society with a collective consciousness. In such a scenario, we would share each other’s perceptions of the world, along with our problems. We would develop a common empathy. If you think of this group consciousness as an individual, it would be in our own self-interest to solve society’s problems and to maximize the potential of every human being.
These hypothetical scenarios represent the far-flung future of BCI advances, but even in the short term, this new technology raises many ethical questions – and one of the biggest issues is going to be control. People need to maintain actual control over their lives, not just the illusion of it. At the same time, regulation is unlikely to keep up with the pace of technological development. We’re seeing that now with autonomous weapons and the worldwide debate about the legitimacy of drone strikes. If you leave safeguarding to industry and don’t consider the ethics at a regulatory level, it’ll be too late.
Rather than predicting the future and figuring out the ramifications of our predictions, we should say what we want the future to look like and drive towards that. I think that’s where the Forum can play an important role as a convening organization, especially with regards to the Global Agenda Councils. However we pursue this new technology, it’s obvious that we’re going to need some serious group thinking.
The Outlook on the Global Agenda 2015 report is now live.
