India Prioritizes Female Safety as Traveler Numbers Continue to Fall
India: Number of Women Travelers Decreased
Theodore Slate - Jun 30, 2015
India's tourism ministry should be celebrating the fact that total foreign tourists numbers were up in 2014, by around 10%, but this is soured by the fact that numbers of foreign females traveling to India are down from 41.2% to 40.8%. This may not seem like a massive decline and optimistic officials might look at the rise in female travelers from the US, UK and Sri Lanka in 2014 as positive growth.
However, there are still markets in decline – such as Germany and Russia – and the security of female travelers is an issue that persists. The problem, understandably, stems from the 2012 gang rape that made headlines across the world and the general fear that women now feel about their safety as travelers in the country.
Officials claim they want to make India safer for foreign women so how are they going to do it? As the reputation of the country as a secure, welcoming tourist destination for women continues to be under threat three years after these infamous attacks, it is clear that India cannot ignore the issue and wait for things to improve by themselves.
Recent measures, such as advising women on how to dress in certain areas of India, is an approach that means well but arguably places the responsibility on the visiting woman not the hosts. GPS sim cards to arriving travelers and a greater use of multilingual signs could go further to helping women feel more at home and comfortable when they are alone, but there has to be more.
Thankfully, the Indian government does seem to be taking this issue seriously and Union Minister of Culture and Tourism Shripad Yesso Naik said that the security of women tourists is a "top priority for the government, as are improving travel conditions and services". At the moment, the ideas are all a little vague; they appreciate that more has to be done and they are looking into new measures but there is little that is more specific than improving guidelines and taking advantage of technology. The exception to the rule is the current initiative to set up a 24/7 hotline in ten international languages to look after those that "know little about India or don't know Indian languages".
Will this help to reverse those declines in female visitor numbers? The basic plan seems to be to break down a few of the barriers that may have been holding travelers back and that make India seem a little inaccessible to the Western tourists that are unfamiliar with the culture and language. These ideas are great for tourists in general and it is also encouraging to see the use of tech and hotlines for those in need of someone to contact but there is still the sense that it is about making all visitors more comfortable than addressing that distinct issue of female security that still holds certain groups of women back from traveling to India. Making the issue a "top priority" is great; turning that into clear measures for female safety and increased numbers of foreign female travelers is the next challenge.

Deionized Water is water that is processed to remove impurities and give Crema a moisture rich texture.
Lauryl Alcohol helps to add moisture to the hair and also changes how water interacts with the product, allowing the conditioner to glide easily onto the hair.
Hydrogenated Tallow Glycerides deeply condition the hair and add moisture to the hair cuticle.
Triethanolamine interacts with other ingredients to control the pH level of the conditioner. It is the ingredient that would alter the pH balance of the hair to allow for absorption into the cuticle.

After shampooing, you should apply a small amount of Crema to your damp hair. Leave the product on for one or two minutes and then rinse well. For deeper conditioning, you can leave the product on for up to 15 minutes before rinsing. Crema can be used on a daily basis after you shampoo.
Many users of Crema have reported some negative side effects upon use the product. Many of those who have tried Crema report a foul odor upon use. The smell is reported to go away after rinsing the product out, but it's very oppressive when applied to the hair. Since this product includes many heavy emollients and thick moisturizers, it can weigh down the hair, particularly if you have very fine or thin locks.
This product is an easy to use daily conditioner. It works by allowing the hair cuticle to absorb a variety of thick emollients and moisturizers. The manufacturers claim that absorption occurs through an alteration of the hair's pH level. Although the manufacturer does not explain how his alteration works, the product has been reported by most users to be successful in moisturizing and conditioning the hair.
This product is different from others because it has been around for a long time. Many people in the beauty and hair industries refer to it as a "cult classic." With a long standing reputation, this product has a longer history of success than many similar products.
Although Crema is an effective conditioner, it may not be suitable for everyone. Recently, the product was reformulated and many customer reviews report that the reformulated product is less effective than the original.
Other possible drawbacks from using this product include an unpleasant smell upon application and weighing down hair, particularly for those with fine hair. For more reviews of hair treatments, please refer to our product review chart.

Prevalence and socio-demographic predictors of food insecurity in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic
Kent, K and Murray, S and Penrose, B and Auckland, S and Visentin, D and Godrich, S and Lester, EA, Prevalence and socio-demographic predictors of food insecurity in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic, Nutrients, 12, (9) pp. 1-20. ISSN 2072-6643 (2020) [Refereed Article]

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated economic vulnerabilities and disrupted the Australian food supply, with potential implications for food insecurity. This study aims to describe the prevalence and socio-demographic associations of food insecurity in Tasmania, Australia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional survey (deployed late May to early June 2020) incorporated the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module: Six-Item Short Form, and fifteen demographic and COVID-related income questions. Survey data (n = 1170) were analyzed using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression. The prevalence of food insecurity was 26%. The adjusted odds of food insecurity were higher among respondents with a disability, from a rural area, and living with dependents. Increasing age, a university education, and income above $80,000/year were protective against food insecurity. Food insecurity more than doubled with a loss of household income above 25% (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 2.02; 95% CI: 1.11, 3.71; p = 0.022), and the odds further increased with loss of income above 75% (AOR: 7.14; 95% CI: 2.01, 24.83; p = 0.002). Our results suggest that the prevalence of food insecurity may have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among economically vulnerable households and people who lost income. Policies that support disadvantaged households and ensure adequate employment opportunities are important to support Australians throughout and post the COVID-19 pandemic.

London, UK. SAGE Publishing today announced a partnership with the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE) to launch a new open access journal Music & Science, providing a platform for engaged debate and insight into music research from a wide range of scientific perspectives.
Scientific research is integral to gaining a greater understanding of how music is a cultural phenomenon and is yet grounded in our biology. Interdisciplinary in scope and focus, the journal will publish research from a wide cross-section of disciplines and perspectives that will illuminate—or that can be illuminated by—scientific approaches to understanding music from cognition, neuroscience and psychoacoustics to computational approaches and studies in digital culture. The first papers are due to be published in September 2017.
Music & Science journal aims to be truly interdisciplinary: to give researchers from the many different scientific traditions that have been applied to music the opportunity to communicate with—and to learn from—each other, while encouraging dialogue with music scholars whose work is situated in artistic, performative or humanistic traditions.

The New Hacker's Dictionary(4.13 / 8 votes)Rate this definition:
The mother of all networks. First incarnated beginning in 1969 as the ARPANET, a U.S. Department of Defense research testbed. Though it has been widely believed that the goal was to develop a network architecture for military command-and-control that could survive disruptions up to and including nuclear war, this is a myth; in fact, ARPANET was conceived from the start as a way to get most economical use out of then-scarce large-computer resources. Robert Herzfeld, who was director of ARPA at the time, has been at some pains to debunk the "survive-a-nuclear-war" myth, but it seems unkillable.As originally imagined, ARPANET's major use would have been to support what is now called remote login and more sophisticated forms of distributed computing, but the infant technology of electronic mail quickly grew to dominate actual usage. Universities, research labs and defense contractors early discovered the Internet's potential as a medium of communication between humans and linked up in steadily increasing numbers, connecting together a quirky mix of academics, techies, hippies, SF fans, hackers, and anarchists. The roots of this lexicon lie in those early years.Over the next quarter-century the Internet evolved in many ways. The typical machine/OS combination moved from DEC PDP-10s and PDP-20s, running TOPS-10 and TOPS-20, to PDP-11s and VAXen and Suns running Unix, and in the 1990s to Unix on Intel microcomputers. The Internet's protocols grew more capable, most notably in the move from NCP/IP to TCP/IP in 1982 and the implementation of Domain Name Service in 1983. It was around this time that people began referring to the collection of interconnected networks with ARPANET at its core as "the Internet".The ARPANET had a fairly strict set of participation guidelines -- connected institutions had to be involved with a DOD-related research project. By the mid-80s, many of the organizations clamoring to join didn't fit this profile. In 1986, the National Science Foundation built NSFnet to open up access to its five regional supercomputing centers; NSFnet became the backbone of the Internet, replacing the original ARPANET pipes (which were formally shut down in 1990). Between 1990 and late 1994 the pieces of NSFnet were sold to major telecommunications companies until the Internet backbone had gone completely commercial.That year, 1994, was also the year the mainstream culture discovered the Internet. Once again, the killer app was not the anticipated one — rather, what caught the public imagination was the hypertext and multimedia features of the World Wide Web. Subsequently the Internet has seen off its only serious challenger (the OSI protocol stack favored by European telecoms monopolies) and is in the process of absorbing into itself many of the proprietary networks built during the second wave of wide-area networking after 1980. By 1996 it had become a commonplace even in mainstream media to predict that a globally-extended Internet would become the key unifying communications technology of the next century.

Good news for people with knee pain. Drug company, Vericel (VCEL) saw its shares jump 57% after the FDA has approved its treatment of symptomatic cartilage defects of the knee in adults, or MACI. The treatment of articular cartilage defects in the knee is challenging because articular cartilage in adults has minimal capacity to repair itself. While orthopedic surgeons have long understood that autologous chondrocyte implantation can regenerate cartilage tissue, the previous surgical procedure was technically complex and time consuming, and the indicated patient population was limited. MACI is the first product to show a statistically significantly greater improvement in pain and function scores compared to microfracture, a commonly performed alternative surgical treatment for cartilage repair.

Heidegger's Nietzsche
Heidegger's Nietzsche: Being and Becoming, Paul Catanu, Title: Heidegger's Nietzsche - Being and Becoming, Author: Paul Catanu, Pages: 414, Dimensions: 6 x 9, T
HEIDEGGER'S NIETZSCHE: Being and Becoming by Paul Catanu
Hammering, bombastic, poetic, mystic Nietzsche as seen through the mind of the great ontologist Martin Heidegger is what Dr. Catanu delivers in this new volume. Nietzsche's thought dissected, critiqued and delimited by the author of "Being and Time" one of the most influential modern philosophers of our day, is explored in this insightful new volume, containing never before translated passages from the Nietzschean Nachlass. Heidegger's Nietzsche re-assesses Nietzsche's metaphysics of Becoming and extends Heidegger's line of thought into areas the ontologist neglected. Providing fresh insight into the minds of these two great Western thinkers, "Heidegger's Nietzsche: Being and Becoming" is a must read for today's discerning scholar and thinker.

PRAISE FOR HEIDEGGER'S NIETZSCHE - Being and Becoming
This book is a product of impressive erudition and scholarship. It makes a comprehensive survey of Nietzsche's texts on Becoming, and shows how that idea is entangled with all of the others that are most important to him, including will to power, eternal recurrence, nihilism, and the overman. The book also shows the author's acquaintance with an impressive amount of the secondary literature, on both the continental and the Anglo-American sides. It delves deeply into most of the relevant issues and throws helpful light in many places.
This book's objective is to explicate Nietzsche's idea of Becoming, holding that 'Nietzsche's philosophy can be explained entirely in terms of this concept'. More particularly it argues 'that through the withdrawal of teleology from within Becoming, Nietzsche manages to both complete and deconstruct metaphysics as onto-theology' , contrary to Heidegger's famous claim. The book begins by examining philologically Nietzsche's treatment of 'becoming', then reviews secondary scholarship, in turn by Heidegger, by (later) Continental, and by Anglo-American interpreters, and finally 'situates this notion of Becoming in the context of Nietzsche's thought'.
— John Richardson, Professor of Philosophy, New York University
Effectively tracing the concept of Becoming from the early period through the middle, and into the later periods [of Nietzsche's writings, Ed.], Catanu defends the systematicity of Nietzsche's thought, argued by Heidegger, together with a kind of unitary will that "is referred to a multiplicity of wills to power that de-center will to power as a purely metaphysical principle." Clearly, that is how the deconstruction of metaphysics comes to pass from within, as Catanu also argues following Müller-Lauter; but the risk implicit in such a position is one of a certain bricolage, rather than a philosophy. Whenever Catanu insists upon the fundamental coherence of the thematic of Becoming in Nietzsche, then, he must lean on Heidegger and his argument for a unified, systematic philosophy of "subjectivity of will to power." The attempted, partial, reconciliation of Müller-Lauter and Heidegger is better than intriguing; it is courageous and difficult.
Paul Catanu is clearly well versed in the Nietzsche literature, from the published to the unpublished works. He demonstrates a solid, impressive competence in the pertinent secondary literature and does not limit himself to the Analytic literature versus the Continental literature. He has a strong sense of the development of Nietzsche's thought.
—Bettina G. Bergo, Department of Philosophy, Université de Montréal
Nietzsche has been many things for Heidegger, an inspiration, an adversary, a most privileged interlocutor as the culmination of metaphysical thought, a fellow German and, like him, a misunderstood prophet of his time. He also proved to be quite an agile adversary. "Nietzsche hat mich kaputt gemacht", Heidegger famously quipped: "Nietzsche sure knocked the daylight out of me".
Philosophically, he was his titanic predecessor, far more than Husserl and Dilthey, on whom Heidegger wrote much less. Heidegger's entire philosophy can indeed be viewed as an answer to Nietzsche. But who is Nietzsche? It would be ingenuous to think there is a simple answer to this question, but Heidegger believed, rightly, in my view, that Nietzsche was the thinker of nihilism. Heidegger's reply to this challenge was to raise anew the question of Being, which Nietzsche seemed to dismiss in The Twilight of the Idols as "the final wisp of an evaporating reality". The meaning of Heidegger's question was to ask: what is the sense of Being which dominated the metaphysical tradition which has led to this understanding of Being and, hence, to nihilism? Nihilism was not seen here as the repudiation, but as the consequence of metaphysics. Metaphysics, according to Heidegger, could only recognize as Being that which it could see and master, i.e. the beings to the extent that they are subjected to our rationality. It would thus be pervaded by a "will to power" which erases the sheer eventful and incomprehensible character of Being and becoming, including our own. The will to power and its endless repetition, the eternal return of the same, are thus not crazy fancies of Nietzsche's unstable mind, but the signature of metaphysics, i.e. the Western tradition itself.
Heidegger wanted to go beyond Nietzsche by resurrecting the question of Being and situating Nietzsche in the continuity of metaphysics. He even intended to give his Nietzsche book of 1961 the title "Nietzsche's Metaphysics", but was discouraged to do so because it sounded too strange to the average Nietzsche reader. Heidegger's Nietzsche is thus at the same time an account of Nietzsche's place in history and of Heidegger's own counterproposal, which lies, discreetly, in an attempt to think "beyond" metaphysics.
But does this account do justice to Nietzsche? This is one of the questions raised by Paul Catanu's inquiry. A thorny question, to be sure, since it presupposes one has a better understanding of Nietzsche. This is why this study is not content with the flood of literature which dissects Heidegger's readings to show how philologically inaccurate they would be. Paul Catanu knows that one cannot treat Heidegger like the average graduate student. Here it is to Heidegger and his challenge that one isn't doing justice. What distinguishes this book is that it takes seriously Heidegger's reading, his "metaphysical" interpretation, to which so many readers seem allergic. Thankfully, Paul Catanu doesn't share this sophomoric aversion to metaphysical thinking. His argument is rather that it is Nietzsche's own metaphysics that Heidegger misses, i.e. his metaphysics of Becoming. This inquiry is thus more a study of Nietzsche's thinking of Becoming than it is of Heidegger's Nietzsche, on which so much has been said. It is, as it were, an introduction to "Catanu's Nietzsche", about which I hope much will be said in the future.

JERUSALEM – Egypt has arrested a leader of a major domestic opposition group who allegedly confessed to plotting the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak, an Egyptian official told the Galil Report.
The suspect, identified as Abed al-Munemhem Abu al-Futuh of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, allegedly admitted during interrogation to planning the coup. Cairo is withholding details.
Egyptian officials told the Galil Report investigators are focusing on a series of conversations al-Futuh had with Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Syria.
The plot was halted just days after Mahdi Akif, leader of the Brotherhood in Egypt, announced his group would train members in military tactics to fight alongside Hezbollah in Lebanon and to join Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip, which borders the Egyptian Sinai desert.
This must have started with some grain of truth (e.g. concern about Egyptian MB discussions with Syrian MB) but otherwise sounds completely preposterous. Especially since Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, a leading "moderate" among the MB, has not been reported as arrested, unlike many of his colleagues.

Job-Time is a trial version of a commercial utility by CAD Studio - see http://www.cadstudio.cz/jobtime.
Nice app, but for 39 Euros (~$44) for the full version, I'm not so sure it is worth the price.
Fantastic App! Cannot get enough - use it on every job. Will trade a solid suggestion for a Full-Licence?! If you run with this hope you follow me up. You need to include in your App an APM counter (Actions Per Minute), which includes all actions including scroll-wheel pan etc, and an EPM (Effective *actions* Per Minute) which is purely effective commands. Your session commands is almost there but needs more work, create averages, even a plotted graph chart over time. Your App then goes from a solid productiviity tool, to a solid productiviity tool includng personal development and 'show-off' stats within the office - this will become the App to have for AutoCAD users! (and bosses).
Nice tool. I like the Excel logging feature.

Your boat stops in front of the peninsula to appreciate the intriguing chandelier figures. After this excursion, transfer by private transportation to the city of Ica to visit its Regional Museum, which houses important collections, mostly of archaeological pre-Hispanic objects from the Ica region, of which the highlight is its ceramics and textiles. The Museum also has colonial and republican pieces of local history, as well as art and palaeontology samples. After this visit, you have free time for lunch at your leisure before heading to the bus station for a trip to Nazca (about 2.5 hours - 143km). Upon arrival, you will be taken your selected hotel in Nazca and will have the remainder of the day at leisure.
Breakfast at the hotel. The route begins in Arequipa's Main Square, one of the most beautiful of Peru. Front facing this square is the imposing Cathedral, built in the seventeenth century. From there, go to the Monastery of Santa Catalina, a cloister and small religious citadel built in 1579, still in use to date. Then, visit the Church of the Compania de Jesus (1590), considered a classic example of local baroque architecture that houses an exceptional exhibition of paintings and murals. Finally, visit the districts of Yanahuara and Carmen Alto for a panoramic view of the Arequipa countryside. At the end, you are transferred to your hotel in Arequipa.
Breakfast at hotel. Transfer to the shore of Lake Titicaca after breakfast to enjoy a motor boat cruise, lighting at a number of the islands in the lake. The first stop is at the unique Uros Islands.

Frank Sinatra – (I Offer You The Moon) Senorita Lyrics
I offer you the moon set in a summer sky
That is mine to give, seorita.
I offer you the breeze singing a lullaby,
I can't bring a golden crown set with pearls and rubies rare,
But I can bring a rose and place it in your hair.
I offer you these things that come from up above,
I give them and my love to you.

Capping off the final day of the 2018 PLANSPONSOR National Conference, two industry leaders explained the exact significance behind each workforce's retirement plan, thanks to the wave of data collected in today's world.
Barbara Delaney, principal at StoneStreet Renaissance, provided details of a 2016 J.P. Morgan Consumer Expenditure Survey, showing how common human behavior connects to life expectancies. For example, specific intakes of alcoholic beverages, such as moderately drinking wine throughout a week, was found to shorten life expectancies. Those lacking a financial savings plan, she said, lived seven years' less on average.
"We as a country are aging, and we don't recognize that we're aging," she said.
As life expectancies decline, the percentage of workers retiring at 65 is increasing. According to the J.P. Morgan study, in 2017, 67% of workers were expected to retire at 65. Now, that number has swelled to 75%. Delaney credits this to sickness or taking care of spouses.
Because of spending changes as participants rise in age—such as a decrease in average household spending—anxieties over retirement income are very well prevalent among new retirees, or those on the cusp of retirement. To withhold participants from beginning their Social Security withdrawals, Delaney recommends plan sponsors utilize tools, such as retirement calculators, to prove that participants won't be at a loss for money.
Delaney said participants should not be wary when it comes to spending 401(k) savings. Employees dedicate years to accumulating savings, therefore it only makes sense to spend it, as long as it's appropriate.
"People in America know how to save, but they're afraid to touch their 401(k) plan. We engrave that into their heads during retirement saving," she said.
Unsurprisingly, according to the J.P. Morgan study, the only spending increases retirees had faced were healthcare and housing, excluding mortgage.
For plan sponsors looking to share comprehensible data with participants, Julie Doran, senior vice president of retirement plan advisory at Sentinel Benefits & Financial Group, advocated for employers to team with industry professionals. Plan sponsors can engage with partners, recordkeepers, and even advisers to work through large data.
"You can work with those groups to make the most impactful change," she said.
Speaking of sharing data to the right professionals, the subject of cybersecurity and ensuring protected plan data was also discussed in the panel. It would be in the best interest of the plan, and the employer, to discuss what cybersecurity measures are being implemented by the adviser, Doran said.
"As fiduciaries to the plan, you want to make sure to go to your adviser and ask what they're doing about cybersecurity. That is something you should be asking for and something they should be willing to give," she said.
Among common financial stresses are student loans, and the anxieties that come with trying to save for retirement, while paying debts. Doran mentioned how collecting this data from participants, such as how many workers are currently carrying student loan debt, can end up assisting the employees. Plan sponsors can, in return, construct an accommodating plan design, specific plan education or even incorporate benefits, such as student loan assistance programs.
"From a data perspective, there are all these external factors that come in place. That student loans perspective Is important because you want to make sure plan sponsors are accommodating those employees," she said.
On the subject of target-date funds (TDFs), Doran and Delaney said plan sponsors can take data to investment committee members, to consider right solutions, default options, and whether a plan is offering the right target-date series.
"You need to identify the population and see if that population is in tune with that fund philosophy," said Delaney.
Other than providing education and speaking with committee members, advisers, recordkeepers, and plan sponsors can gauge how participants' comprehend this information, so that employees can recognize specifics of the plan and its data.

Q: Why the param name is $accessToken? Developers of the Drive SDK - or generally, the OAuth2.0 PHP client library!
In the apiClient.php there is a setAccessToken function:
  public function setAccessToken($accessToken) {
    if ($accessToken == null || 'null' == $accessToken) {
      $accessToken = null;
    }
    self::$auth->setAccessToken($accessToken);
  }

The @param of this function is something like this:
{"access_token":"TOKEN", "refresh_token":"TOKEN", "token_type":"Bearer",
        "expires_in":3600, "id_token":"TOKEN", "created":1320790426}

Why you name this parameter $accessToken if the  access token is just a part of this JSON encoded string ??
It's very misleading i think.
When we go deeper and look at: $auth->setAccessToken($accessToken); in apiOAuth2.php
we see:
  public function setAccessToken($accessToken) {
    $accessToken = json_decode($accessToken, true);
    if ($accessToken == null) {
      throw new apiAuthException('Could not json decode the access token');
    }
    if (! isset($accessToken['access_token'])) {
      throw new apiAuthException("Invalid token format");
    }
    $this->accessToken = $accessToken;
  }

Look at the second if: $accessToken['access_token']. Whats the point of this? Access token inside an accessToken ?? :)
You should name the $accessToken parameter (the whole JSON string) of these functions to something else like $credentials or whatever because it's a little bit blurry... but tell me if I'm wrong.

A: As some of the comments mention I would post this either on the Google APIs PHP client library form: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/google-api-php-client
Or file an issue on their issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/issues/list
This will make sure that the engineers working on the PHP client library will be aware of this.
And you are right this makes perfect sense :)

Julian Assange Could Be 'Tortured To Death', Doctors Claim
All Tech News > category news Regulation > category news Censorship
Tom Jowitt, February 18, 2020, 4:32 pm
CensorshipGovernement-ITLegalRegulationSurveillance-IT
Doctors pen open letter to The Lancet making astonishing claim about Assange's fate, but spokesman says his health is improving
The plight of Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange is making headlines once again this week after 117 doctors penned an open letter to the medical journal The Lancet.
The group of doctors representing physicians and psychologists from 18 nations called for an end to what they described as "the psychological torture and medical neglect of Julian Assange".
Next week Assange's extradition hearing to the United States begins, and two Australian members of Parliament have this week visited London calling for his release.
Assange is currently being held in Belmarsh prison ahead of a hearing on 24 February which could result in him being extradited to the US.
"Assange is in a dire state of health due to the effects of prolonged psychological torture in both the Ecuadorian embassy and Belmarsh prison, where he has been arbitrarily detained according to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention," Sky News reported the letter as stating.
"Should Assange die in a UK prison, as the UN special rapporteur on torture has warned, he will have effectively been tortured to death," the doctors claim. "The medical profession cannot afford to stand silently by, on the wrong side of torture and the wrong side of history, while such a travesty unfolds."
According to Sky News, the letter also sets out accusations of "politically motivated medical neglect" which it says "sets a dangerous precedent."
"Politics cannot be allowed to interfere with the right to health and the practice of medicine," the doctors penned. "Our appeals are simple: we are calling upon governments to end the torture of Mr Assange and ensure his access to the best available healthcare, before it is too late."
A copy of the letter was reportedly sent to the UK government and the Australian minister for foreign affairs, Marise Payne.
This is not the first time that this has happened.
In November, the Doctors for Assange group previously expressed their concern for his welfare, saying he was so ill he could die. They called for Assange to moved from Belmarsh high security prison to a university teaching hospital.
Supporter and former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson last year warned that the health of Assange is causing concern. She said that said that his life "was at risk" and he is "unhealthy" in captivity.
Health improving?
But ABC.net in Australia reported that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is no longer being held in solitary confinement and his health is improving.
It cited Assange's colleague and spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson as its source.
"I saw him about 10 days ago," Hrafnsson reportedly told a news conference ahead of the extradition hearing.
"He has improved thanks to the pressure from his legal team, the general public, and amazingly, actually from other inmates in Belmarsh Prison, to get him out of isolation," he reportedly said.
Meanwhile two Australian MPs are in London calling for his release.
Andrew Wilkie, an independent federal MP, said the extradition of Assange would set a dangerous precedent, the Guardian newspaper reported.
"This will establish a precedent that if you are a journalist who does anything that offends any government in the world then you face the very real prospect of being extradited to that country," he reportedly said. "This is a political case and what is at stake is not just the life of Julian Assange. It is about the future of journalism."
He was joined in London by the co-chair of the Bring Julian Assange Home parliamentary group, the Liberal National MP George Christensen. He said he had written to the Prime Minister Boris Johnson to point out that the UK's extradition treaty with the US was "imbalanced". He highlighted the US rejection of an extradition request for Anne Sacoolas, the woman accused of causing the death of motorcyclist Harry Dunn.
US extradiction
The state of health of Julian Assange has been much discussed in the past year.
In May last year Assange was too ill to appear via video link in a court room hearing to discuss his extradition to the United States.
In June then Home Secretary Sajid Javid signed a US request for Julian Assange to be extradited to America.
The US Justice Department had filed 17 new charges against Assange in May 2019, accusing him of violating the Espionage Act after he received top secret data (from Chelsea Manning) and unlawfully published the names of classified sources.
Assange had then made a court appearance in October 2019, where he failed to delay his extradition hearing to the United States.
During that appearance, Assange appeared frail, and found it hard to remember when he was born.
Assange had been on the run for years after allegations of sexual assault charges in Sweden.
Assange has always denied the Swedish allegations of raping a woman and sexually molesting and coercing another in Stockholm. He fled to the Ecuadorian Embassy in June 2012, after he lost his final plea in the UK to avoid extradition to Sweden.
But Assange was brought into British custody when police entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in April 2019 and dragged him out, after a seven year stalemate.
Assange was then found guilty in the Southwark Crown Court of breaching the Bail Act, and was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail, at Belmarsh prison in London.

Apple Music boss denies forcing Frank Ocean to split with his...

Apple Music boss denies forcing Frank Ocean to split with his label ahead of Blonde release
Kanye's The Life of Pablo could have ended up on Apple Music instead of Tidal at one point.
Apple executive Jimmy Iovine, has denied playing a part in Frank Ocean's acrimonious split from Universal.
Ocean self-released Blonde through Apple Music earlier this year after fulfilling his contractual obligations with Def Jam, a subsidiary of Universal, with his visual album Endless, released days before.
The singer's relationship with Def Jam soured after he was signed in 2009 with Ocean later openly criticising the label for effectively shelving him. Ocean described the process of freeing himself from his contract as "a seven-year chess game", even going as far as to purchase back all of his master recordings.
In an interview with The New York Times, Iovine said Apple had no involvement in Ocean's split.
"We wanted to work with Frank Ocean," he said. "We had a deal—we were working with Frank Ocean, and he controlled where his music came out. Why would it be in our interest to be part of a fast one, a slow one or any one? We were getting the record no matter what. Whatever happened with him and Universal is really between him and Universal. It has nothing to do with us. Nothing."
Iovine also hinted that Kanye West was at one point considering signing a deal with Apple to release his latest album The Life of Pablo.
"He was part of Jay's thing and chose to make a deal with his friend, and I respect that. I kind of felt like it was going to happen before it did. Jay Z and Kanye — that's a very natural thing for them to work together. Everybody moves on. You try to do the best with what you've got and ignore everything else," he said.
The former record producer also revealed that he wanted to launch Adele's 25 through Apple but admitted that "it wasn't in the cards. It just wasn't in our realm."
Elsewhere in the interview, Iovine was asked if there is any animosity between streaming competitors.
"Not even one speck of it," he responded. "I see Jay all the time. I want him to do great. There was never one record company. When I produced records, I used to ask Quincy [Jones] to come in and help me. We are competitors, yes. But as far as anything more, absolutely not."
Iovine put an end to rumours of an Apple buyout of Tidal in September, despite calls from Kanye to acquire Jay Z's streaming service.

Disruption of the gut microbiome and gut barrier may be the primary cause of age-related inflammation which accelerates the aging process.
This study showed that older mice have imbalances in the bacterial composition in the gut which then leads to the breakdown of the gut barrier and the release of bacterial products that trigger inflammation and impair immune function.
We know that inflammation has recently been identified as the key driver of aging in 4 different age groups including elderly, centenarians, semi-supercentenarians, and supercentenarians. We also know that lack of fermentable fiber starves the gut microbiome and causes the bacteria to eat the gut barrier which is made of carbohydrates and this results in the breakdown of the barrier and inflammation.

Today:- New Delhi, Nov – Give second life to your home accessories to beautify your house, says an expert.
* Add some character to your old and dull furniture by painting them with bright colours or by experimenting with bold textures. You can also go for colourful upholstery.
* If you have an old coffee table that has been losing its charm, then turn it into a classy bench. All you have to do is paint the frame and get a comfortable cushion attached on the top.
* You can give a second life to your chipped plates and mugs by breaking them into tiny pieces and beautifully arranging them in patterns. Stick them on flower pots or side tables.
* Take out your ladder and place some wooden planks on its each level. By doing this you can create a rustic bookshelf for yourself.
* We all end up having spare bottles of jams and pickles at home. Instead of throwing them away, you can turn them into lamp shades. You can either hang them from the ceiling or place them individually in your house.

The Wirewalker came back up with more than just great data at the first station. Due to a tooth being embedded in the line, researchers presume a White Shark attacked the instrument.SOI/ Monika Naranjo Gonzalez
The sediment traps and the Wirewalker were recovered after three days of collecting data with a big surprise. Some parts were bent, and three out of the four collecting cylinders of the sediment traps were missing. The remaining trap was broken and unusable. One battery pack was lost, another damaged and the bungee had snapped. "What if we are not prepared for the North Pacific in winter?" thought Physical Oceanographer Melissa Omand. Colleen Durkin, Oceanographer, felt her confidence take a hit. Her team had deployed these instruments before, so she was not expecting anything to go wrong. She thought the big waves were the cause.
A fraction of a tooth found stuck in the line told a different story: the North Pacific was not to blame, but instead the instruments were damaged by a Great White Shark. This was certainly a rocky start for the team and a true testament to the unexpected challenges of conducting science at sea.
Amazingly, the data extracted from the nine sensors in the Wirewalker was complete. This provided new insights about the instrument's resilience and capabilities. Even with ripped cables and a lost battery pack, it did not miss a beat and came back with an important discovery from Hawaiian waters: the team was excited to confirm a growth in the amount of particles during daytime, which was surprising for two reasons.
The first reason deals with the behaviour of phytoplankton itself. Confirming that that there is a variation in the amount of organisms found at day or night is key to make a complete characterization of the oceanic carbon cycle. Melissa, Colleen, and Biogeochemical Oceanographer Meg Estapa are studying the Carbon Pump: how particles sinking in the ocean drag carbon down to the depths of the ocean with them, removing carbon from the atmosphere. By learning about variations in the particles through time – as well as in different layers of the water column – scientists can better understand the physical mechanisms involved in particle distribution in the ocean. This also relates to the biochemical processes that the ocean controls.
The second surprise pertains to the Wirewalker and its capabilities. The instrument walks the 150 meter-long wire every seven minutes. A sensor in the walker emits light and then measures how much light bounces back after hitting particles suspended in the water. Counterintuitively, the smaller the particle, the more light it backscatters. The team already knew the Wirewalker would provide info about the particle's sizes and density, but they did not expect that could also be used to measure community growth. The evident variation in the amount of light backscattered was an indicator of a change in the amount of particles suspended in the water. Other optical instruments confirmed the walker's findings, which suggests that the Wirewalker could be useful to determine more measurements than previously thought.

Not even a Great White could stop the team. Three stations and four weeks later, Colleen Durkin and Melissa Omand can barely contain their excitement when, for the first time, they watch the time-lapse photographs taken by a mobile phone deployed along with the Wirewalker. Playing the pictures as a sequence creates a minute-long movie: "This is the movie of your dreams!" exclaims Colleen, "We're with them, seeing the things we've studied for so long." This is a small victory, but one that Melissa will carry with her proudly when she walks away from Falkor. Her timelapse repurposed phone contraption works, providing new information about the subtle machinery that drives the carbon cycle, and even proving that the instruments work as intended: the movie shows that the particles falling into the gel traps are preserved in an optimal way.
New Actors Take the Stage
1750 liters of seawater filtered. 150,000 Flow Cam pictures, 810,000 Cytobot images, 361,200 meters of the ocean profiled. It will take months for the interdisciplinary team on board Falkor to be able to process all the data and then begin cross-referencing it, but some preliminary observations have been made.
Radiolarian might not have received the attention they deserve up until now. The findings of some of the sediment traps suggest they play an important role in the Carbon Cycle.
Radiolarians are planktonic creatures that up until now have not received much attention when it comes to painting the ecological big picture of the Carbon Cycle. Recently, some articles showed some statistical significance, but offered no clues about the specific role played by them. Aggregates found in the sediment traps suggest that they actually play an important part in the carbon pump. Colleen Durkin suspects this will be an important result of the team's research, filling in one more piece of the puzzle. "I'm sure other things will pop up as we process the samples," she adds.
As the expedition approaches its end, Melissa's question about preparation has been clearly answered: Falkor, the crew, the scientists, and the instruments were all ready to take on winter in the North Pacific. Nearing their return to shore, they are bringing back high-resolution imagery, tens of terabytes of data, and the successful testing of new state of the art technologies.

Q: Spark find max scale of each column This is what I have done so far
private List<Integer> getScales(Dataset<Row> columnLengthDataFrame,
                                Dataset<Row> df) {

    List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();

    for (int i = 0; i < columnLengthDataFrame.columns().length; i++) {
        Object data = df.first().get(i);
        String number = String.valueOf(data);
        if (number.contains(".")) {
            String scale = number.substring(number.indexOf(".")).substring(1);
            list.add(scale.length());
        }
    }

    return list;
}

This gives scale of only first row and I want max of scale of same column

In case of col1, I am gettig scale 1 but I want scale 6.

A: You don't need to perform any action to find it out. It can be retrieved from DataFrame's schema.

Scala

df.schema.fields.collect { case StructField(_, typ: DecimalType, _, _) => typ.scale }

Java

Arrays.stream(df.schema().fields())
                .filter(f -> f.dataType().getClass().equals(DecimalType.class))
                .map(column -> ((DecimalType) column.dataType()).scale()).collect(Collectors.toList())


Donald Simpson, Partner with legal and wealth management specialist firm Turcan Connell, explains what you need to know about retaining a UK home for return visits or spending longer periods back in the UK without jeopardizing your non-UK resident status for tax purposes.
The rules on UK tax residence now appear in the statutory residence test which applies from 6th April 2013. Under the rules, it is possible to keep a home in the UK and still be classed as non-UK resident subject to meeting various conditions.
Expats who fulfil the relevant criteria in the rules for working full time overseas, or spend less than 46 days in the UK each tax year (or 16 days if they were UK resident in any of the three preceding tax years) are automatically non-UK resident regardless of retaining a home in the UK. Expats dividing their time between their overseas home and the UK may wish to spend more time at their UK home than these automatic tests for being non-UK resident permit. To avoid being automatically UK resident, they must not spend more than 183 days in the UK in a tax year, or indeed work full time in the UK. Where these limits are observed, they then need to consider how many 'ties' to the UK they have, to determine how many days they could spend in the UK before being tax resident. Both the ties and the permitted days are set out in the rules.
However, where a home in the UK is retained there are two situations which override the days permitted by the ties and could result in an expat being automatically UK resident regardless of the number of days they spend in the UK. Both situations are outlined below.
The rules set out that a home is a building, vehicle, vessel or structure of any kind used as a home with a degree of permanence or stability. A home can be rented rather than owned. Where an expat rents out their former UK home it would cease to be a home, but could be a home if the tenant vacates and it is available for the expat to use. It is possible to have more than one home, either in the UK, overseas, or in the UK and overseas.
A property used purely as a holiday home is not a home under the rules. Determining if the former family home which is used on visits back to the UK qualifies as a holiday home will depend on the extent and nature of its use. A holiday home would likely be available accommodation, so could still impact on the number of permitted days in the UK if it constituted a tie to the UK.
The first situation to watch out for is where a person has a home in the UK but has no home overseas. This could arise as a result of an expat selling their home abroad and waiting on a replacement purchase to complete. Where there is any period of 91 consecutive days in which they have a UK home but no home overseas, the expat will automatically be UK tax resident for any tax year during which they spend 30 days at their UK home. This will apply even if they spend no time at their UK home while they were between overseas homes, for example if they used the time to travel or stayed with friends. The 91 day period does not need to fall entirely into the actual tax year for this to apply, and it is sufficient for only 30 days out of the 91 to fall into the tax year for this to bite.
Expats with a home in the UK and at least one other home overseas also need to pay careful attention to the detail of the rules. They must ensure that where there is any period of 91 consecutive days in which they have at least one home in the UK and one home overseas, then if they spend at least 30 days at that UK home in a tax year they must also spend at least 30 days at their overseas home in that tax year or else they would automatically be UK tax resident. Where an expat has only one overseas home, then it should be straightforward to ensure they spend at least 30 days there each tax year. However, where an expat has more than one overseas home, they would need to spend at least 30 days at one of those overseas homes. Where an overseas property was in reality a holiday home then this 30 day minimum stay requirement would not apply to it.
By having a home in the UK, including a holiday home, for at least 91 consecutive days an expat would have an accommodation tie to the UK if they spent at least one night there during the tax year. This would be relevant if the automatic tests are inconclusive in determining if a person is automatically UK resident or non-UK resident. An accommodation tie is not uncommon for expats, and the number of days in which they can be in the UK without becoming UK tax resident will depend on the number of other ties to the UK, namely, the family tie; the work tie; the 90-day tie, and the country tie.
Expats returning to the UK part way through a tax year must fall within an accepted case to be treated as UK tax resident only from their return to the UK. Such split year treatment can be desirable where significant income or gains arise in the part of the tax year before returning to the UK. The accepted cases for split year treatment to apply are starting to have a home in the UK only; starting full time work in the UK; ceasing full time work overseas; returning to the UK when your partner ceases full time work overseas, or starting to have a home in the UK.
Expats who do not work may encounter some difficulty falling within these accepted cases. For example, if they have homes in the UK and overseas the provisions for splitting the tax year by starting to have a home in the UK could not apply. For many it may be necessary to cease to have a home overseas so that they would fall within the rules for starting to have a home in the UK only. This result could be achieved by renting out the overseas home to prevent it being available as a home.
Retaining a UK home and making regular visits to the UK home while being non-UK tax resident is possible under the statutory residence test. However, the rules must be carefully followed to avoid accidentally becoming UK tax resident. This article provides a summary of the rules only, and advice should be taken on how the detailed provisions of the statutory residence test apply in individual circumstances.
