Wild Fauna Conservation and Hunting
English (1.8 MB)
Albania has made progress towards meeting the political criteria for membership and steady progress in the five key priorities for the opening of accession negotiations. One of the recommendations highlights the need to ensure compliance with EU nature legislation.
The objective of this report is to provide an analysis of the current Albanian laws regarding the species protection objective, in relation to its conformity with EU legislation in this field, namely the Nature Directives and EU Regulations: (i)Law No. 10 006, dated 23/10/2008, On the protection of wild fauna ,(ii)Law No. 41/2013 On some amendments and addenda to the law NO. 10 006, DATED 23/10/2008 "On the protection of wild fauna", as amended (iii)Law No. 10 253, dated 11/03/2010 On hunting (iv) Law No. 43/2013 On some amendments to the law NO. 10253, dated 11/03/2010 "On hunting" .
After completion of the compliance assessment, recommendations are made toward the process of reviewing these national laws in order to determine whether there is a need to amend or draft new legal acts of the legislation that regulate the protection of species and hunting. To provide further input to this process, the report identifies examples of relevant legal acts.
During the assessment, the scope has been broadened to include additional pieces of national legislation that are also relevant for the transposition of the EU obligations in relation to wild fauna protection and hunting:
Laws: (i)Law No. 81/2017, date 4.5.2017, on Protected areas, repealing Law nr. 8906, date 6.6.2002, "On protected areas", as amended by law nr. 9868, date 4.2.2008 and Law nr.9868, dated 4.2.2008, "On some supplements and changes in law No, 8906, dated 6.6.2002, "On protected areas"; (ii)Law nr. 9587, date 20.7.2006, "On protection of biodiversity", as amended by Law nr. 37/2013, date 14.2.2013 and Law nr. 68/2014, date 3.7.2014; (iii)Law 68/2014 of 3.7.2014 "On some amendments and changes to the law No. nr. 9587, date 20.7.2006, "On protection of biodiversity", as amended;
By laws: (i)DCM No.897 dated 21.12.2011"On approval of the rules for the announcement of special conservation areas"(ii) DCM No. 546 dated 7.7.2010 "On the approval of the list of wild fauna species, subject to hunting". (iii)DCM No. 866 date 10.12.2014, "On announcing the lists of types of natural habitats, plants, animals, and birds of interest for the European Union".v

Synopsis: A man's life unravels after he comes into contact with an obscure book titled The Number 23. As he reads the book, he becomes increasingly convinced that it is based on his own life. His obsession with the number 23 starts to consume him, and he begins to realize the book forecasts far graver consequences for his life than he could have ever imagined.


With the city hit with a heatwave this summer, we chart the best places to go for the tastiest ice-creams around.
The sweeter sibling to wildly popular Italian eatery Bocca di Lupo, Gelupo is the perfect place to head for an after dinner dessert, with a constantly changing and innovative menu of flavours like Pimm's, lemon curd and ricotta.
If you are after something a bit crazy when it comes to ice cream, then look no further than Milk Train. An Instagrammable whirl of flavour that rests on a cloud of candyfloss, this is only for the sweet-tooth.
Olivogelo is the best-kept secret in ice cream. Part of the sprawling Olivo restaurant group (which comprises a seafood restaurant, pizzeria, café and winery) it prides itself on authentic homemade gelati, produced in-house daily with Sardinian ingredients.
Luxury chocolatier Godiva has launched a new soft ice cream, promising the same high quality deliciousness as its popular confectionary, with added chocolatey-touches – think sauces and sprinkles galore.
Head to Amorino for authentic Italian ice cream. This typically Italian gelateria offers a comprehensive menu of 24 flavours (we're partial to the salted caramel) all free from preservatives, colourings and artificial flavourings. Buon appetito!
They reinvent ice cream through different flavours, like burnt butter caramel or coffee and olive oil. With locations all over London, there's really no excuse to not try their flavours for yourself.
This artisan gelato hotspot changes it's flavours on a daily basis, so there's something different to try every time. They even have vegan options available so you won't miss out.
Based in North London, this place is an eccentric find, offering flavours like rhubarb and verjus, or elderflower and prosecco. They cater for parties, weddings and even hold ice cream masterclasses for you to try.
Would you try charcoal ice cream?

Before he was the governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper was his state's attorney general.
What Happens When the Attorney General Refuses to Defend a Law?
In lawsuits involving high-profile partisan issues, some state AGs choose to sit out.
Alan Greenblatt | August 2017
State laws get challenged all the time. Luckily, every state has a law firm on retainer -- namely, the attorney general's office. But who defends the state when the attorney general is not willing to do it?
That question has been coming up quite a bit lately. Before the U.S. Supreme Court made same-sex marriage rights universal in 2015, several Democratic AGs refused to defend their states' bans on the practice. Last year, Roy Cooper, then North Carolina's attorney general, decided not to defend House Bill 2, which gutted anti-discrimination protections for gay and transgender people. Currently, Maine GOP Gov. Paul LePage is suing Janet Mills, the state's Democratic attorney general, for refusing to pursue legal actions he favors.
These conflicts come up most frequently on high-profile issues where partisans hold strong and opposing positions. Defending state laws is one of the primary duties of attorneys general, something they shouldn't refuse to do, argues Greg Zoeller, a former AG in Indiana. He had to defend all kinds of laws he didn't like, including the death penalty, which he opposes on religious grounds. And indeed, most lawyers take on cases and clients they don't believe in. Attorneys general who refuse to defend state laws typically say it's because those laws are unconstitutional, but Zoeller says that's not their call to make. "The courts are empowered to make the decision of whether a law is constitutional or not," he says. "To bring that question to the courts, there has to be a lawyer on both sides."
Republicans on the Hot Seat in AG Races
State AGs Used to Play Nice in Elections. Not Anymore.
Outside Firm Hired to Represent Georgia in Voting Machine Case
Without Obama to Sue, What Are Republican AGs Up To?
To Battle Trump, State Democrats Will Use GOP's Own Tactics
Zoeller points to the example of Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California. The attorney general there refused to defend the law, so the Supreme Court threw it out in 2013 on a question of standing, on the grounds that the ballot initiative's sponsors had no right to defend a state law if the state itself refused to do so. "It cost us two years of uncertainty," Zoeller says. "If the AG of California defended the law, we would have had an answer [on same-sex marriage] two years earlier."
In practice, an attorney general's office expresses opinions about the constitutionality of laws all the time. On almost a daily basis, assistant AGs instruct legislators on how to craft bills so they stay within allowable bounds. One reason the AG gets to defend state laws is that constitutional expertise resides in that office.
But it was also part of the intent of constitutions in most states to split authority within the executive branch. Few states follow the federal model, where the attorney general answers to the chief executive. And there clearly could be dangers in making the AG do whatever the governor wants. If the governor can order an AG to sue, what would stop him from ordering the AG not to subject his campaign contributions to scrutiny? "State constitutions have a healthy fear of executive power," says Jim Tierney, who runs a program on AGs at Harvard University. "They don't want the governor to have legal power."
The desire to preserve a balance within the executive branch is one reason why the Kentucky House balked this year at a state Senate plan to strip Attorney General Andy Beshear of much of his authority. Beshear, a Democrat, has repeatedly sued GOP Gov. Matt Bevin. Republican legislators may not like that, but they can still see the point of having an AG with independent watchdog authority.
When he was Maine's attorney general back in the 1990s, Tierney refused to defend a state law he felt was without merit. The state Supreme Court upheld his authority to exercise judgment about which state laws to defend and which ones to leave alone. It may seem problematic to have AGs decide on their own which state laws can stand up to scrutiny, but ultimately someone has to make the call. The American system of governance is all about splitting power. When it comes to legal matters, the attorney general is most often going to be the one who has the final word.

The University of Arizona's Center for Creative Photography
About the CCP
The Center for Creative Photography sits on The University of Arizona. It is located at 1030 N. Olive Road and sits among some of the most creative and artistic schools on campus. The School of Architecture is next door, the School of Fine Arts, Marroney Theatre, and the School of Music are all across the street. The Center for Creative Photography is one of the world's leading museums of modern American photography. It collects and manages materials essential to understanding photography and its history. Through its archives, collections, education programs, exhibitions, and publications the CCP promotes research and appreciation of photography while preserving original pieces for posterity. The CCP houses over 90,000 works by more than 2,000 photographers. In all, there are over five million objects in the collection, which include books, journals, rare publications, and an oral history collection. The CCP has an extensive online collection site as well. Here the CCP's fine print catalog can be viewed, as well as records and images of some of the Center's collection of art objects.
Entrance to CCP
In 2016 the Center for Creative Photography was selected by The Culture Trip website as one of Tucson's Top 10 Art Galleries and Museums. The Culture Trip stated, "In addition to being an unmatched resource for the photography historian, the CCP also puts on captivating exhibitions for the amateur fan. Expect to see some of the biggest names of this creative medium, accompanied by informative materials and framed by skilled curation."
The first floor of the Center for Creative Photography is home to a 240 seat auditorium, gift store, and gallery. The entrance to the building takes you to a lobby area with tables and chairs that can be used for study or conversation. It is in this area there is also a small gift shop right next to the Information Desk. The gift shop has a variety of books related to photography and unique postcards available for purchase. The counter of the gift shop also serves as the information desk where the staff is available to answer any questions a visitor might have about the CCP. At the rear of the first floor, next to the stairs that lead to the study center, is a quiet area with comfortable chairs. This secluded area can be used for studying, discussion or just relaxing.
CCP Gift Shop and Information Desk
A glass door to the right of the information desk serves as the entrance to a climate controlled gallery. The heavy door opens to a surprisingly large, sparse, and exquisite gallery with easy traffic flow between rooms. The gallery displays changing exhibitions that feature modern and contemporary photographs. This space is also used for special events.
CCP Gallery
The second floor houses the Laura Volkerding Study Center, named in honor of the artist from Louisville, Kentucky. Volkerding began a career in drawing, weaving, and prints but switched to photography 1972. She became a lecturer in photography at Stanford University and received fellowships from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Prix de Paris, and the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France. The Center for Creative Photography published her book, Solomon's Temple: The European Building-Crafts Legacy in 1996. The Study Center is used for research and study of the CCP's archives, rare books, reference materials, and oral histories. This space is available by appointment only.
In an effort to promote new knowledge about photography, photography history and photography theory, the CCP offers several fellowships and internships. Information is available here.
History of the CCP
Master photographer Ansel Adams was the impetus behind the creation of the Center for Creative Photography. As early as 1935, Adams had realized the importance of centers dedicated to research in photography. His idea was to preserve and protect photographs and make them available for use in public education. Adams idea would not come to fruition for another 40 years. In the early 1970s, he approached the California Library system about housing his collection. The libraries turned him down, saying they were not set up for photo archiving and did not have the funding to do what was necessary to preserve the collection the way he envisioned. In 1974, Adams was asked by University of Arizona and then-president John Schaeffer, an avid photographer who admired Adam's work, to present a one-man show at the University Of Arizona Museum Of Art. It was during their meeting at the exhibit that the idea for the Center for Creative Photography emerged.
Schaeffer approached Adams with the suggestion of archiving his collection at the University of Arizona. Adams was interested but wanted to include the works of fellow photographers. The talks continued, and it was decided the collection would become a part of the special collections section of the new library that was being built by the university. It was an immediate success. In the first year, five archives were committed - Ansel Adams , Wynn Bullock, Aaron Siskind , Fred Sommer, and Harry Callahan. In the next few years, 60 other important names in photographic history were added to the collection. The Center quickly outgrew the library, and funds were raised it the late 1980s to construct the current facility, designed precisely for the Center's needs.
CCP Core Values
Recently the Center for Creative Photography decided to include a set of core values for their staff. The goal of these values is to show what the CCP stands for and what defines them as an institution. These values are here to represent the future projects they have planned and to ensure long term success.
Supporting the CCP
Those interested in supporting the Center for Creative Photography can become a member. The CCP even offers free memberships to students of the University. The Harold Jones & Frances Murray Endowment is a research fellowship that encourages research projects for photographers whose archives are displayed at the CCP. More information and donation information can be found here.
Visit the CCP
The Center for Creative Photography, 1030 N. Olive Road, is open to the public Tuesday – Friday, 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday 1 pm to 4 pm. It is closed Sunday and Monday. Admission is free. The Laura Volkerding Study Center is available by appointment only.

Q: Change Onsen UI menu style I want to change the style of the side menu but after trying several changes to onsen-css-components-blue-basic-theme.css I can not find the element that contains the edge shadow (see below image). I want to remove the shadow from the menu - which file is this handled by?
<ons-sliding-menu var="menu" id="menusliding" main-page="main.html" menu-page="menux.html" max-slide-distance="85%" type="reveal" side="left"  ></ons-sliding-menu>

A: Generally it's a better idea not to touch generated files as if at some point you decide to change the theme or update the version the changes will be overriden. So instead of trying to change the framework css generally it's better if you just write your styles in a separate file (at least until you decide to push things to production).
And about the question: these things can be found by doing right click => inspect element. If you do that on the element you will be able to see where the styles come from. The way which you're wording your question it sounds like you tried to find it but were unable to. Probably if you looked a while longer you would've been able to find it.
After doing the method described above I was able to find that actually it's defined in element.style of the main content. Some libraries do these kind of things even though it's not very recommended, still it's the most secure way to ensure that the style will be applied.
To remove it you can just do.
.onsen-sliding-menu__main {
  box-shadow:none !important;
}

Demo
The class may vary depending on the onsen version. It's not the most elegant solution, but ons-sliding-menu is a relatively old component. In Onsen 2 there is actually an ons-splitter element which combines the behaviours of ons-sliding-menu and ons-split-view. If you use that you will see that the shadow there has been removed.

Q: Grails g:javascript tag with query string generates error When I create a tag <g:javascript src="highcharts/highcharts.js?v=255" /> i get the error:
I can't work out the type of /tools/js/highcharts/highcharts.js?v=205 with type [text/javascript]. Please check the URL, resource definition or specify [type] attribute

The docs say that g:javascript doesn't have a type attribute and after looking through the grails source I found that it's using FileNameUtils.getExtension() to determine the type of resource. Since that just does a lastIndexOf('.') and returns the right side of that, it obviously won't be found.  In this case we don't really need to add the v=255 so I can remove it for now however I'd still like to be able to do so in the future.  What are my options here?
Grails version is 2.1.2

A: What about using the HTML tag?
<script src="highcharts/highcharts.js?v=255 type="text/javascript"/>

A: If all you want is deal with versioning javascript includes so you can set the cache high and change the number as needed you should look at the grails cached resources plugin.
Personally I think you would want to make highcharts.js part of a module for the resources plugin to deal with for you. It will take care of versioning and minification etc as you let it. The quick start should give you enough to get going.

Journey To The West & Fashion!
I went to a fashion design school in China.
After 4 years college, I decided to apply for Masters and Ph.D. program in the US and change my major to engineering...all without financial support from my family.
That was in the middle of 2008 recession and all the universities lost much of their funding! There were limited scholarship opportunities. I didn't know how I came up with such an ambitious goal...
Eventually, I got 5 offers at prestigious schools in the US, each with a full scholarship! I couldn't believe that received offers in Computer Science, Materials Science, and Environmental Engineering.
I hopped on a plane and land in Boston with $800 in my pocket to start a new journey.
The Youngest Engineering Ph.D. Became Unemployed
I become one of the youngest engineering Ph.D.s at Boston University, published 14 papers, and was granted 2 patents.

I still find time to give equal attention to my son and my students. It's my mission to not only be a great mom but to also change the lives of my students by presenting them an opportunity to grow and nourish their careers in product.
From Engineering To
Director Of Product
When I started my career, people always put me in a pigeonhole. My coworkers frequently asked me to do the technical work and they gave the presentation.
I knew I could do more than just the technical work, but how could I get there?
I started to invest in myself. I took classes to hone my soft skills, and figured out how to sell myself into new positions.
During COVID, I got three Director of Product offers.
But I found out, sadly, that People like me are not at the decision-making table. In my last company, I was the only female manager out of a 100-person team.

This scraper was written in Python 2.6.9, but should run under Python 2.7.x.

I recommend you run this in a Python virtualenv, managing the dependencies with `pip` to avoid conflicts.

I also recommend the use of datagrok's `inve` tool for working with virtualenv: https://gist.github.com/datagrok/2199506

# Dependencies

- `httplib2`

- `SQLAlchemy`. May install as a system package or via `pip`. I recommend `pip`.

- A Python database driver for your chosen database engine. E.g. `MySQL-python`. This may install as a system package, or via `pip`.

Other required modules, such as urllib and simplejson, should have shipped with your Python installation.

# Installation

1. Install the dependencies.

2. Create a database using your preferred engine.
   The database needs to have support for full 4-byte Unicode. If you're on PostgreSQL, this is not an issue. If you're on MySQL,
   there's some things you need to make sure are set. See here: http://www.somacon.com/p580.php TL;DR: use `utf8mb4` and `utf8_unicode_ci`.

3. Set up the config file with the correct values for database and reddit account.

        $ mv scraper.cfg.example scraper.cfg

3. Confirm database connectivity and create the database tables.
   Fire up an interactive Python session (`$ python`), import everything from models (`from models import *`), and issue the `create_all()` command to SQLALchemy (`Base.metadata.create_all(engine)`):

        $ python
        Python 2.6.9 (unknown, Oct 29 2013, 19:58:13)
        [GCC 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2)] on linux2
        Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
        >>> from models import *
        >>> Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
        >>> <ctrl-D>

4. Run the scraper: `$ python scrape_comments.py`

# Troubleshooting

- If you run into issues with step 2, you probably have an issue with SQLAlchemy or your database system. Check your connection information and database access permissions.

- If you run into issues like `latin1 codec can't decode byte [...] ordinal not in range [...]`, this means your database system has not been set up to properly handle 4-byte Unicode.
  This probably means you're using MySQL and haven't configured the collation and character set properly. See the link in Step 1.

and if you want to use a variable, make sure you have declared it:

While driving into Tokyo this afternoon, it struck me that Tokyo to the novice must seems awfully grey and dreary. It is mostly because if you're in a car (or bus) all you can see from the elevated expressways are seemingly randomly placed buildings with all manner of dirty concrete and metal attached to the sides and roofs. Old and pretty ugly. However, not to be dismayed, when you're come down off the expressways you a thrust into the lower view of the very same buildings with their store fronts, and sidewalks and a myriad of little pieces of eye candy. Really a treat even if you've been there a whole bunch of times.

As calamity surrounding the controversy that rocked reality television seems to have finally started to settle, an upcoming sit-down with Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson may reveal what really happened between the pair during their Bachelor in Paradise filming this past June. But when exactly is the Corinne and DeMario interview happening?
Although there has not been an air date divulged just yet, Paradise host Chris Harrison did manage to spill some interesting details about his forthcoming plans to interview the duo and reveals that the chat will most likely not be part of the BiP Season 4 reunion special. He tells ET, "I'm going to sit down with DeMario and Corinne as part of a sit-down talk with the two of them."
It's worth noting that although neither Olympios nor Jackson returned to the house in Mexico after the controversy resulted in a filming hiatus, both have seemingly remained a huge part of the Season 4 storyline. The first promo noticeably plays up the controversy, making it seem like one of the bigger storylines this season, which premieres Aug. 14.
"Honestly, after tonight I don't know how that dialogue's going to (go), I thought I had an idea before tonight, but I also thought we'd have a better moment than we had tonight. So, I don't know. Now I'm not really sure how it's going to be. We'll see."
It is reported that both Olympios and Jackson will, some time in the near future, participate in a face-to-face discussion to share their sides of what exactly went down on the BiP set as indicated by ET. The moment will, hopefully, serve as a platform to clear things up and offer fans some closure on the incident that halted production as producers launched a full investigation into the murky matter.
There is a lot that still remains unclear surrounding the incident, as both parties have only spoken out individually about the scandal. Bringing them together will allow for a conversation that will hopefully clarify some of the questions that continue to linger.

There's a sick person on my flight: What do I do?
March 13, 2020 March 13, 2020 / Spreading the Message
Fox News | Michael Bartiromo | March 13, 2020
No one likes to be seated near a sick passenger — and that's especially true during a pandemic.
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently puts the risk of contracting COVID-19 on planes at "low" due to the nature of "how air circulates and is filtered on airplanes," that doesn't mean travelers shouldn't take every health precaution possible, and maintain social distancing from anyone exhibiting symptoms of respiratory illness.
Should you find yourself on a plane with a sick passenger, however, you should be aware that the federal government and the CDC have a protocol in place for the airline industry in the event of such instances.
If a passenger is found to be sick on an international flight, federal regulations require the aircraft crew to report the sick passenger to the CDC before arriving in the U.S. The CDC also explains that, if other passengers were exposed to a sick person on a flight, public health officials can launch what's called a "contact investigation" to help identify and reach out to anyone who may have had contact with this person during their air travel.
Should you find yourself on a plane with a sick passenger, there are protocols in place in the event of such instances. (iStock)
"Sometimes CDC is notified about a sick traveler while the plane is still in the air or shortly after the plane has landed," the agency explains online. "However, in most cases CDC is notified when a sick traveler seeks treatment at a medical facility."
The CDC would then be responsible for coordinating an investigation between federal agencies and airlines to determine where and how extensively this person traveled (for instance, did they take connecting flights?) and if they were contagious at the time. If the passenger was deemed to be contagious, investigators consult airlines for flight manifests to determine who may have been in contact with the sick person.
Depending on the disease associated with the passenger's illness, health officials will create a "contact zone" from the seating chart — or rather, an area of the seating chart identifying passengers who were likely exposed.
State and local health officials then use the manifest and "contact zone" information to track down the exposed passengers, conduct health checks, and outline any subsequent steps.
"Contact zones" on planes, however, may not always be limited to areas around the infected passenger: the CDC says any traveling companions, regardless of where they are seated, are considered part of the "contact zone." Children under 2, who were seated on their guardians' laps, are also considered part of any contact zone when investigating a case of measles or rubella.
According to a recent study, whether you sit near a window seat or an aisle may determine how much interaction you may have with infected passengers — although it's important to note that this in no way negates being considered part of a "contact zone" at risk of exposure.
A study by the "FlyHealthy Research Team," which has been cited by National Geographic, found that those who were seated in the window had less interaction with people located at least two rows away from them, potentially limiting their exposure. Those seated in aisle seats, however, were more likely to come into contact with passengers moving about the cabin to use the lavatory, or with the airline's crew members — an average of 64 contacts, versus the window seat's 12, according to study leads Vicki Stover Hertzberg of Emory University and Howard Weiss of Penn State.
But again, the CDC is still learning about the novel coronavirus and how it spreads, so anyone in close contact with other airline passengers should take every precaution. For example, travelers should avoid touching the eyes, nose or mouth after coming into contact with potentially germ-ridden surfaces, and they should frequently wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
The TSA also allows passengers to bring alcohol-based hand sanitizers in carry-on luggage if the containers measure less than 3.4 ounces.
Finally, the CDC advises you monitor your health for two weeks after returning from travel. If you start to feel sick with "fever, cough or have difficulty breathing," stay home and contact a doctor to report symptoms.
And lastly, anyone with plans to travel — and hopefully this goes without saying — should reconsider flying altogether, and stay home if feeling sick or experiencing symptoms. (After all, you don't want to find yourself banned for life from your preferred airline.)

Protesters flood the streets of downtown Pittsburgh after former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld was acquitted for killing the African-American teenager Antwon Rose II. Emmai Alaquiva
In Police Violence, the Fates of Cities and Suburbs Are Intertwined
Former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld was acquitted for killing black teen Antwon Rose. This has ramifications for the greater Pittsburgh area.
After news broke late last Friday that former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld was acquitted of murdering the black teenager Antwon Rose II, the reverberations were felt as far away as Virginia, where state senate candidate Qasim Rashid tweeted about the difference in how Rose was treated compared to Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers. His tweet was immediately met with a fusillade of replies explaining that there were different police forces involved in the two tragedies: Pittsburgh police and its SWAT unit for Bowers, and East Pittsburgh police for Rose.
The City of Pittsburgh Police (who responded to Tree of Life) are a completely different department than the East Pittsburgh Police. One is highly trained and one is small and under-trained. Not an excuse, simply an important distinction to note.
— Maya (@Cinco_De_Maya) March 23, 2019
East Pittsburgh is a small municipality that sits just outside of the city of Pittsburgh. It disbanded its police department in January, largely because of the Rose killing. And while Rashid's clap-backers are technically correct about the differences between the police departments involved, the spirit of his tweet is still sound. For African Americans in greater Pittsburgh, there is little safety afforded to them when approached by police, whether in cities or suburbs. This is a concern for African Americans in almost every urban setting in the nation, but especially so in suburbs.
For Rose's case, distinguishing between East Pittsburgh police and Pittsburgh police isn't entirely clarifying in these moments. The fault line is not between Pittsburgh and its suburbs; it's between the criminalization of blackness and the exoneration of whiteness. In that regard, the city of Pittsburgh could help bridge that divide if it recognizes that it shares this common problem with its smaller municipal neighbors.

Since Rosfeld was acquitted late last Friday, there have been several street protests across the greater Pittsburgh region, including in its downtown, outside of the courthouse where the trial was held, and in East Liberty, a neighborhood unofficially zoned as ground zero for gentrification in the city. Yesterday, more than 1,000 high school and college students marched through the city to protest the Rosfeld acquittal, chanting that justice had not been served to Antwon Rose II's family. And again, the place and location of injustice was weaponized on social media, with people emphasizing that it was a Dauphin County jury—located halfway across the state of Pennsylvania—that acquitted Rosfeld, not a jury from Allegheny County, where East Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh are located.
Don't forget that the #AntwonRose jury was from Dauphin County. Not Pittsburgh. So blaming people from the city for the verdict doesn't make any sense. Try again.
— Frank Pagani (@frankpagani_) March 23, 2019
But one of the planners of the protests, 18-year-old Kahlil Darden, youth and activism coordinator for the Pittsburgh-based organization 1Hood Media, says he and his peers understand that the jury was from another county, and don't need explanations on how the criminal justice system works. Pittsburgh, as the seat of power in Allegheny County, was responsible for protecting young black people, and also for failing to deliver justice in this case, said Darden.
"We're not just fighting for equality in East Pittsburgh, we're fighting for equality across Pittsburgh in general and across Pennsylvania," says Darden, who attends Penn Hills Senior High School just outside of Pittsburgh. "Yes, the jury came from Dauphin County here, but everything that had to do with the trial was in downtown Pittsburgh. [District Attorney Stephen] Zappala's office is in the city of Pittsburgh. The people who made the most decisions and had the most influence over the trial are in Pittsburgh. So when we talk about equality we talk about getting justice not only for Antwon, but for all black people who are victims of police brutality and violence in these communities as a whole."
For the trial, the district attorney prosecutors called more than 30 witnesses, many of whom personally saw Rosfeld shoot Rose three times, and others who were forensic experts. The bullets pierced Rose's face, elbow, and back: the last one penetrating his lung and heart. Rosfeld shot Rose as he fled from the pulled-over car where he had been sitting in the back seat. The defense called just two witnesses, Rosfeld and a police use-of-force expert, Clifford Jobe, who testified that it was reasonable for Rosfeld to fire his weapon considering that he was responding to a call that another person in the car committed a drive-by shooting.
Pennsylvania state law affords police officers the benefit of the doubt in these circumstances. The burden is on prosecutors, when police are on trial for shootings, to prove that there was no compelling reason for the officer to fire his gun. The jury foreman Jesse Rawls Sr., a bail bondsman from Harrisburg in Dauphin County, said afterward that had Rose not run from the car, he would still be alive. The message of the Rose case is that you can be unarmed in flight, your back to the police, and a cop will be justified for killing you. The state, two counties, and at least two cities are complicit in that outcome.
It is true, as some have been quick to point out, that Pittsburgh police have more training than the police programs in surrounding smaller municipalities. Much of that training was imposed on Pittsburgh police after the federal government found a pattern of corruption and brutality throughout the department in the 1990s. Pittsburgh was the first major city entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice to reform its police department. Meanwhile, there is no uniform police trainings across the state to ensure that small suburban departments are skilled on par with officers from larger city departments. But this is besides the point: What, to the victim of police violence, does it matter what jurisdiction's name is on the clothes of the officer who shot him?
"The idea that an imaginary line is going to prevent a police officer from shooting me, killing me, and preventing my family from getting justice—if you believe that you haven't been paying attention," says Jasiri X, chief executive officer of 1Hood Media, and one of the leading organizers of the protests. "When it comes to black people, it doesn't matter where the police department is."
In the event of police violence against people of color, the fate of cities and their suburbs are intertwined. Many of the high-profile police killings of black people of the past few years have actually happened in suburbs. But the neighboring major cities in those instances have felt the impacts regardless. The cries of the oppressed do not recognize municipal boundaries.

When Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, the protests spilled into neighboring St. Louis, appearing in places like St. Louis's symphony orchestra concerts. Demonstrations held earlier this month in Sacramento, California, to protest the absolving of the police officers who killed Stephon Clark shut down places like the Arden Fair shopping center, the city's downtown Golden 1 Center, and the "ritzy" East Sacramento neighborhood—nowhere near where Clark was killed. Similarly, ever since Rose was killed last summer, demonstrators have shut down shopping areas, highways, and downtown traffic centers well outside of East Pittsburgh, to make the point that black people are vulnerable to police violence no matter the setting.
"The disruption caused by state-sanctioned violence doesn't belong to us all," says Dustin Gibson, who organized and participated in police violence protests this weekend and last summer. "A lot of us see it as our responsibility to share that burden with the people that have the privilege of not having their lives disrupted by this. At its core, it's an interruption of the fallacy that this is all normal. From the center of our hearts, we're forcing it to the front of people's minds—the people who would routinely just go throughout their days without having to think about any of this."
When Rose was killed last July, and media reports poured in from across the nation, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto went on Twitter to point out that it was East Pittsburgh police involved in the killing, not Pittsburgh police—the same kind of auto-corrections getting spread across social media today. This was on some level perhaps necessary for fact-checking purposes when dealing with the media, but it was received as a tone-deaf tweet that failed to respect the solemnity of the moment.
Peduto was more measured in his tweets after the Rosfeld acquittal, this time offering "the full support of the city of Pittsburgh" and offering to help with training suburban police departments in another tweet.
Tonight I grieve with Antwon's family, friends, and the entire community. Words cannot heal the pain so many are feeling. Only action can begin the process, a process that will take work & understanding.
— bill peduto (@billpeduto) March 23, 2019
No. Pittsburgh Bureau of Police & their SWAT unit are trained & continued to be trained in DEESCALATION techniques & we are one of six Police Depts trained in IMPLICIT BIAS in US. We must have suburban Allegheny Co. Depts trained in same. We will offer to them in few next months https://t.co/BKcKVEe0wT
"This isn't just an East Pittsburgh issue, this is an issue for Pittsburgh as a whole," says the teen organizer Darden. "And if we don't address it as a whole and as an entire community, then we'll just keep recycling and going in circles with what this system has set up for us."

Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973)
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. With a heavy, guitar-driven sound, they are cited as one of the progenitors of hard rock and heavy metal, although their style drew from a variety of influences, including blues and folk music. Led Zeppelin have been credited as significantly impacting the nature of the music industry, particularly in the development of album-oriented rock (AOR) and stadium rock.
Originally named the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin's deal with Atlantic Records gave them considerable artistic freedom. Initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with eight studio albums over ten years. Their 1969 debut, Led Zeppelin, was a top-ten album in several countries and featured such tracks as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed and Confused" and "Communication Breakdown". Led Zeppelin II (1969) was their first number-one album, and yielded "Ramble On" and "Whole Lotta Love". In 1970 they released Led Zeppelin III which featured "Immigrant Song". Their untitled fourth album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), is one of the best-selling albums in history with 37 million copies sold. The album includes "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven", with the latter being among the most popular and influential works in rock history. Houses of the Holy (1973) yielded "The Ocean", "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "The Rain Song". Physical Graffiti (1975), a double album, featured "Trampled Under Foot" and "Kashmir".
Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin's music, particularly early in their career, while Plant wrote most of the lyrics. Jones's keyboard-based compositions later became central to their music, which featured increasing experimentation. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their touring and output, which included Presence (1976) and In Through the Out Door (1979), grew limited, and the group disbanded following Bonham's death in 1980. Since then the surviving former members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off reunions. The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London, with Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums.
Led Zeppelin are one of the best-selling music artists of all time; their total record sales are estimated to be between 200 to 300 million units worldwide. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums and six number-one albums on the US Billboard 200, with five of their albums certified Diamond in the US. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.

As a budding adolescent who would like to express herself and spread her wings I am allowing her some freedom to put herself out into the world (in moderation and with supervision). As I am sure you have gathered from my fun filled parenting dilemmas, rants and posts I am not about to let her run rampant online. I figure that is will be a safe platform for her to use. This 9 year-old has many fun stories and insights which I think you will enjoy. I am also hoping that this experience will help her work through many thoughts and feelings as it did with me and provide some sort of cathartic relief. If nothing else I look forward to the opportunity to bonding and discussing her work.


Surface evaporation rates that are greater than precipitation rates lead to upward salinization processes and, consequently, man-made contamination of the covering surface layers on coal dumps in Western Donbass, Ukraine. The effectiveness of capping the mine dumps with different layers of black-soil mass, both with and without a shielding layer of loess-like loam, was studied in order to develop the optimal scheme for the reclamation of these dumps. Principal component analyses were carried out in order to reveal the regularities of the upward salt migration to the surfaces of reclaimed coal mine dumps. The parameters of the layer-by-layer variation of the physical and chemical data in soil water extracts (namely, pH, total salinity and concentrations of bicarbonates, chlorides, sulfates, calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium) which were obtained in 1987, 2003 and 2016 along the reclaimed profiles of various models of technogenic edaphotop, gradually acquire a stable-equilibrium state of mineralization in space and time. The alkaline barrier is the main factor for pH-changes and profile salinization of reclaimed land.

I find it difficult to admit when I'm having trouble at the best of times, be it with mental or physical health. I've been known to shrug off a cough only for it to land me in hospital and I certainly never talk about times when I'm feeling down on myself.
This stubborn-mule attitude combined with what happened at my baby's six-week check-up led to a serious downward spiral of postnatal anxiety and depression which took the best part of two years to overcome. Two years of happy memories missed. Two years spent in a dark haze of tears, anger and sadness. Two years where I should have sought the help I needed but didn't.
I remember my baby's postnatal check like it was yesterday. Squeezing my eyes tight shut, I waited for the doctor to finish checking over my tiny daughter. The sane part of me knew she was fine and healthy but the ugly, crazy, dark thoughts were right there, convincing me that there would be bad news and I'd missed something obvious that anyone else would have noticed in a second. It had been just about seven weeks since she had been born and every moment of it had pretty much been horrific.
But that's just motherhood, right?
But she was fine. Good. "And everything's okay with you?" the doctor asked. My mind raced. Was that a rhetorical question? Was this part of the process or did I look so bloody awful that he was concerned? Was he asking an awkward medical question about my stitched-up bits and pieces or did he really want to know if I was okay?
So, I slapped on that same smile I'd been giving to everyone who'd flippantly asked and said, "Yeah! Yeah, I'm fine."
Now, don't get me wrong. This isn't a criticism of my doctor, who is a lovely man and very kind and professional. This isn't a criticism of the many friends and family members who came for tea and biscuits to coo over the baby and tell me how well I was at coping as a single parent with a newborn. The horrible and strange thing about suffering from post-natal depression is that, if you don't want anyone to know about it, it's very, very easy to hide.
Unfortunately, I wasn't alone in my postnatal check experience. According to NCT, more than half of new mothers with mental health problems they wanted to discuss did not feel able to do so at their postnatal check. The recommended six-week postnatal check-up is meant to uncover new mothers' physical or mental health difficulties. Yet NCT found that 54% of women who had emotional or mental health problems they wanted to talk about did not feel able to discuss them at their six-week postnatal check. The charity for parents also found that a quarter of these mothers (24%) said there wasn't time to talk about the concern during their appointment; and more than half (60%) said they were embarrassed or worried that the doctor would think they weren't capable of looking after their baby.
This was my experience to the letter. I didn't want to say that I woke up every day feeling like I'd been run over by a truck and that just getting out of bed seemed like an insurmountable mission. I didn't want to say that my life felt like a living nightmare – who wants to seem like an ungrateful cow when you've just been given the greatest gift known to mankind?! I didn't want to take time out of that appointment to talk about my feelings when clearly the baby was more important. How selfish that would have seemed?
Of course, if I had had the courage to talk about how I was feeling, my doctor would have listened. He would have been sympathetic and understanding and would have offered me help, which is what did happen way down the line when I eventually crawled back into his office, sobbing and at the very end of my tether in every way.
As part of its #Hiddenhalf campaign, NCT is calling for more funding for the six-week check so that health professionals have the time to give every mother a full appointment, rather than squeezing it in with an examination of their baby. Many mothers are lucky and have doctors that do ask thoughtful, open questions about their mental health when they do go for the six-week check. Many mothers are braver than me and able to say if they're feeling crappy and need help. But many, many mothers are just like me – too afraid to admit there's a problem, too scared of being judged and embarrassed for not doing a good enough job and too worried about what might happen if you do admit that #mumlife isn't a series of Insta-perfect pics.
I've come through the other side of my postnatal journey now; relatively unscathed overall and now a very happy mum, but also very sad that I didn't look after myself in the way that I should have. I should have loved myself more. Now, I can pass it on in the spirit of all things MOLO and love another mother instead. I would urge new mums to do right by yourselves.
Ask yourself: u ok hun? If the answer is no, please speak up. Tell someone: your GP, health visitor, midwife or someone who loves you. There's help out there if you need it.

Cook the onions in butter or oil until lightly browned. Add the corned beef, potatoes and all seasoning. Stir around in pan til all is combined and warmed. Some people like you smash or compress it all down. Either way, cook until the potatoes start to brown. Maybe 10-15 minutes.


Los Angeles (AINA) — In the early part of the 20th century, the Ottoman government carried out a deliberate and systematic mass ethnic cleansing of its Christian inhabitants, namely the Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks. The proclamation of a fatwa for jihad against the Christians in Turkey quickly spread to northwestern Persia, in the densely Assyrian populated region of Urmia (Urmi). From 1914 to 1918, two-thirds of the Assyrian population perished in a genocide that has remained cloaked under a shroud of secrecy. However, the anonymous Assyrian Genocide's staggering losses of 750,000 souls remains ever present in the remembrances of a nation that has vowed to never forget.
My maternal grandmother and paternal grandparents were survivors of the Assyrian Genocide. As I was growing up, the oral history describing the events of 1914 through 1918 by my grandparents were constant to me, just as they were to most Assyrian families. There seemed to be a need for a steadfast vigilance by these family elders who spoke of the mass murders of our nation in great detail.
Touched by a single event that unified the Assyrian nation, for survivors such as my grandparents, the constant retelling of these events was indicative of the personal conflict the elders were sorting through and a reflection of the frame of mind of much of the nation.
In time I began collecting corroborating letters, photos, family journals, family war diaries, newspaper articles and clippings and the quest for documenting and preserving this unwritten chapter of Assyrian history.
The extraordinary events my grandparents described formed images that hung in my mind haunting me my entire life. To this day, I am astounded at the valor of all the survivors and how they faced their demons and lived to tell their tales as eyewitness to their own tragedy. Their bravery and dauntless spirit and ability to endure in times of adversity were nothing short of remarkable.
I am in awe of the fallen Assyrians who called on their own courage to face the heinous crimes committed upon them. They are the silent heroes of my nation.
Those who know no compassion and mercy astonish me. Those who live daily lives weighted down by hatred resulting from ignorance. The very ones who continue to condemn Assyrians for their nationality and religion.
But mostly, I am still lost in admiration of my grandparents' sense of dignity, honor and grace that was the code by which they lived. They were among the more than 70,000 Assyrians forced to flee Urmia in the final mass exodus of the winter of 1918 that split off in two opposing directions. My 18 year-old maternal grandmother, Maghdleta, whose husband had just been murdered, fled north towards the Russian frontier, while my paternal grandparents bundled their newborn infant and followed other Assyrians south towards Mesopotamia. Not everyone was as lucky as they were to reach safety.
Though the perpetrators of these crimes against the Assyrians were Ottoman Turks, Kurds and local Turks in Persia, I was never taught to hate an entire race of people. Everyone must be judged on his or her own deeds. "Don't condemn one man for the sins of another even if they share the same blood or name," my grandmother would say.
In 2005, I published my book, The Crimson Field, chronicling the life of Maghdleta, my grandmother's hellish reality of the Assyrian Genocide. At the time, I wasn't aware of the extraordinary journey I was about to embark upon. I was simply making a record of one Assyrian family's life.
The book I had written to document my family's history was rapidly leading to bonds across the seas with strangers whom I have come to know as friends.
The withholding of historical facts and the manipulation of evidential findings and lack of global public education on the subject of the Assyrian Genocide has not only lead to the persistence of denial by governments around the globe including the United States, but it has also perpetuated the continuation of a century-old raced-based hatred and hostility.
However, the Turkish journalist's statement to me reinforced my belief that there are courageous people who will stand with the Assyrians in their quest for the recognition of the past atrocities committed against my nation. Truth shines its own light and will emerge through darkness.
While Assyrian sympathizers are bountiful, Turkish laws prohibit journalist or anyone for that matter from publicly acknowledging and supporting the Assyrian Genocide. For this reason, I will not reveal the identity of this journalist who will surely be condemned for her perspective on a subject still taboo in her country.
The pledge of friendship with this remarkable Turkish journalist as well as scores of other Turkish readers of my book, are the bonds of humanity and understanding that I had hoped my book would bring about. Atrocities committed by a nation cannot reflect every member of that nation. Every person shall stand alone on judgment day regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion and color of skin.
But it is naive to presume that one journalist's viewpoint is representative of all Turks. Clearly there still exists a deep racial hatred and intolerance that is passed on from generation to generation. Since 2005, my book's website has been hacked into by Turks several times (AINA 1-21-2008, 11-20-2007). The latest and sixth such incident occurred just last week. The Turk behind this malicious act was most probably a young hacker who knows nothing of the circumstances of the Assyrians who seek justice and not revenge.
This Turkish hacker has no idea who my grandmother, Maghdleta, was and what sacrifices she made to ensure the safety of future generations of her family and nation. All he sees is a book that represents a nation that he must hate not because of anything done to him or even his family but because he blindly follows in the footsteps of his father.
Ironically, as savvy as they are, the only thing these Turkish hackers have managed to accomplish thus far is to drive the sales of my book through the roof! Perhaps a nod of gratitude is in order for this economic boost.
The Turkish government's shroud of secrecy to suffocate the Assyrian Genocide is slowly slipping as more and more hackers continue to bring focus on this issue through Internet vandalism. Though I cannot condone such dreadful behavior, I can't help but chuckle at the end result.
The acceptance of the Assyrian, Armenian and Greek Genocides will ultimately result in the downgrading of many Turkish notables who have been revered as historical heroes of the Ottoman Empire.
I am an optimist and will hold out to the idea that perhaps one day, civilization will advance to a level when we can begin to have open dialogue about all genocides and holocausts without contributing to more hatred even if we have to downgrade a few heroes.

This two-state region in the center of the U. S. has a history of ornithological research dating to Lewis and Clark's Voyage of Discovery and including work by Thomas Say, John James Audubon, and others. Birding groups, academic researchers, and wildlife agencies all have contributed to the our growing knowledge of the region's avifauna. Early studies that emphasized game species have evolved to more holistic studies of forest, prairie, and wetland bird-species communities and their management.
Two of the continent's longest rivers form all of the region's eastern and much of the region's western borders, providing beautiful vistas and a natural pathway for birds. The eastern parts of the region are dominated by deciduous forests with Acadian Flycatcher, Wood Thrush, and Cerulean Warbler and the west by mixed shrublands and grasslands with Upland Sandpiper, Orchard Oriole, and Blue Grosbeak. Along the region's western boundary, the dramatic east-to-west transformation of North America's avifauna starts, with the appearance of western species like Least Tern, Swainson's Hawk, and Western Kingbird.
The north-to-south changes are equally striking going from prairie potholes and oak savannahs with Northern Pintail, Yellow-headed Blackbird, and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in the north to the Ozarks and low-country swamps with Greater Roadrunner, Swainson's Warbler, and Painted Bunting in the south.
Spring and fall bring millions of migrant waterfowl, shorebirds, passerines, and others. In winter, northern visitors include finches, sparrows, owls, and the occasional irruption of Snowy Owls. The dynamic nature of the region's avifauna is further exemplified by the ongoing range expansions of Black-necked Stilt, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Fish Crow, and Blue Grosbeak. With a regional list of 458 species, there is much to see and enjoy.

Reductions are arguably at the heart of complexity theory. They show that one problem is at least as hard as another. Finding reductions often requires creativity and considerable technical skill; some reductions seem as if they were pulled from thin air. The most difficult part however may be finding the 'right' problem to reduce from. At its best this approach distills a large body of ad hoc research, cuts through the technical details and shows that a wide collection of seemingly different problems share the same essence, their hardness lies in one simple well described problem. Mihai has had repeated success doing exactly this type of research. We briefly discuss two such examples.
The following results are taken from "Toward Polynomial Lower Bounds for Dynamic Problems".
In the 3SUM problem we are given an array A of n numbers and we have to decide whether there are $latex i,j,k \in [n]$ such that . It is easy to show an algorithm that finds such a triplet (if it exists) in time A widely believed conjecture is that this is essentially best possible. The conjectured hardness of 3SUM was used to show hardness of problems in computational geometry.
Consider the problem of maintaining a graph on nodes under the operations of edge insertion, edge deletion and queries of the type "is there a path between and ?". It is generally accepted that we cannot have a solution with polylog time per operation. Proving this seems beyond our reach at this point. In this paper, Mihai showed that a fast data structure for this (and many more problems) would imply a fast algorithm for the 3SUM problem.
This result is striking, first because the 3SUM problem is a standard input/output problem and not a data structure problem. Second, the 3SUM problem is algebraic in nature while the reachability problem is combinatorial.
Mihai proves this through a series of reductions, each of them beautiful in its own way. Let us sketch just the first of these, which demonstrates the originality of the approach. The goal is to reduce 3SUM to a problem called Convoluted 3SUM. Here the goal is to find just a pair of indices such that . Note that Convoluted 3SUM has a lot of structure and has two 'degrees of freedom' so it is obviously solvable in . Since is believed to be essentially the lower bound too, the problem is more amenable to be the base for reductions. Indeed, subsequently in the paper Convoluted 3SUM is 'hardwired' into a graph problem.
The main idea of the reduction is to use linear hashing. Say the numbers in come from a set . Imagine we had an injective map such that for every . If that were the case we could simply place every element in , and now if then , and we're done. The problem is that a linear injective mapping does not necessarily exist. Mihai 's observation is that a hash function suggested by Martin Dietzfelbinger is almost linear and almost injective. It is almost linear in the sense that . It is almost injective in the sense that the hashing does not have many collisions. Both problems could be solved by running multiple instances of Convoluted 3Sum that are set up cleverly so that they exhaustively search all possible triplets.
In his paper "Unifying the landscape of Cell Probe Lower bounds" Mihai shows a clever series of reductions from the Lopsided Set Disjointness (carefully chosen to have the acronym LSD) problem to a large set of data structure problems, including static and dynamic versions of data structure problems such as partial match, approximate near neighbor and range search. The LSD problem is the following communication complexity problem: Alice has a set S, Bob has set T and they want to determine whether or not the sets are disjoint. The lopsided nature refers to the setting where one of the sets is much larger than the other.
A central problem in this reduction landscape is a reachability problem on a special class of graphs: those that are subgraphs of butterfly graphs. Since in a butterfly graph, there is a unique path between any pair of nodes, testing s-t reachability amounts to checking whether any of the edges on the unique s-t path are amongst the missing edges. Thus reachability on a subgraph of a butterfly is a special case of LSD. What Mihai shows is that it in fact captures the full complexity of the problem: the general LSD problem can be reduced to a small number of reachability queries in subgraphs of a butterfly graph. Thus we can derive a lower bound for reachability in these graphs.
This work unifies a large number of data structure lower bounds, from static lower bounds that show that query time must be large if the space is small, to dynamic data structure lower bounds where one shows that not both the update and the query times can be small. All known lower bounds fail when the query time is more than logarithmic . Going beyond polylogarithmic update + query time remains a grand challenge in this area. We remark that recent work by Kasper Green Larsen builds upon Mihai's work to get the first lower bound on the sum of the query and update times for dynamic range counting.
What a beautiful collection of results. Thanks for sharing.
Rest in peace, Mihai. As a younger student at MIT, it was incredibly inspiring to watch your research visions develop. It's so sad to see them cut short.

Hierarchical Form In Prokofiev's Flute Sonata Op. 94, II. Scherzo
Mandy Mericle (Creator)
Jennifer Snodgrass
Abstract: When Prokofiev wrote the Flute Sonata Op. 94, Soviet composers were torn between their own artistic styles and the need to conform to the ideals of "soviet realism." In the second movement of the flute sonata, Prokofiev alternates between his own style of composition and the "soviet realism" style. The displaced chromaticism throughout the piece, although adopted by other Soviet composers of this period, is representative of Prokofiev's individual style. Within this movement, Prokofiev uses form as a basis for making distinction between harmonic ambiguity and stability, motivic repetition and lyricism, and phrase expansion and phrase regularity. Although the form of this movement is traditional in its harmonic relationship and small and large-scale structures, Prokofiev uses the form in a way that facilitates his relationship between his own compositional desires and the political constraints of the Soviet style.
