#OscarsSoRed: Who is giving blood money to Hollywood?
Hollywood has no qualms about accepting investment from prominent human rights abusers.

China, Saudi Arabia and Israel have major financial interests in Hollywood [File: Reuters/Shannon Stapleton]
Although over the past year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences put some effort into addressing the traditional lack of diversity in its structures and film award selection, this year's Oscars did not go by without controversy. While several wins by people of colour were widely celebrated, the awarding of the Oscar for Best Picture to the film, Green Book, caused much outrage among many racial justice activists for the problematic portrayal of its main black character.
Hollywood clearly still has a long way to go in combating racial and gender discrimination, but at least discussions are being held and some measures are being taken.
But another equally pernicious aspect of the US film industry has remained largely ignored: blood money. More than ever before, Hollywood appears to be addicted to funding from some of the most brutal regimes on earth, whether in the form of reaching into lucrative new markets, securing new investment streams, or developing creative content.
So as we keep the pressure up with #OscarsSoWhite, #MeToo and #TimesUp, it's time to add #OscarsSoRed to the discussion.
Chinese money and censorship
In recent years, China has become a major player in Hollywood, both as a source of revenue for, and investment in, films. Before dropping significantly after Trump's election, Chinese investment in Hollywood had reached several billion dollars. Indeed, as US box office attendance slipped to the lowest levels in decades, foreign attendance figures, with China leading the way, have never been better.
As Hollywood has come to depend on China as both a market and a source of investment, filmmakers and studios have increasingly not only tailored storylines to appeal to the Chinese government, but also engaged in direct self-censorship in terms of themes they will deal with.
Remember the accusations of whitewashing Asian characters when Marvel's Dr Strange was released? Turns out Tilda Swinton was cast as the "Ancient One" not because she's white but because in the comics, the character is Tibetan, an identity that, if retained, would have doomed the film's potential release in the all-important Chinese market.
Do you know why you hardly see Richard Gere in major films anymore? In his view, it has everything to do with his long-term support for the Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama.
Self-censorship and crafting storylines to appeal to (or at least not upset) a government with deep pockets and a penchant for "soft power" is nothing new in Hollywood. But today, China has taken repression to a whole new level.
If two decades ago the New York Times was reporting that Chinese officials were allegedly flaying people alive, today the US media is documenting the horrors of a massive security campaign against the Muslim Uighur population of Xinjiang province, who are living in conditions that increasingly resemble a giant concentration camp, with levels of surveillance, imprisonment, "reeducation" and violence that have no parallel in the contemporary world.
As Hollywood tackles painful issues of racism and sexism at home, it does not make sense that it should turn a blind eye to efforts by one of its major financiers to erase the culture and religion of a whole ethnic group.
If today, Richard Gere can be blackballed by China at the height of his career, how much more direct censorship and direction will Hollywood accept in the stories it tells and the places it tells them at, as Chinese power grows?
The 'new Chinese' of the Arabian Peninsula
Saudi Arabia has become another major source of funding for Hollywood with much blood on its hands. Its financial capacity is smaller than China, but the potential negative impact is just as significant.
A year ago, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) engaged in what Forbes called his "prince charming" act in Hollywood, promising billions in investments and a lucrative undeveloped domestic market where cinemas had been banned until recently.
Ignoring the massive human rights violations, starvation and death Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen had inflicted on the Yemeni population, Hollywood insiders probably saw MBS and his entourage as a miraculous new source of "dumb money". But the Saudi crown prince, like his Emirati neighbours, sees Hollywood as a major component of his own China-like campaign of highly controlled cultural opening that serves to reinforce rather than challenge the ruling elite's hold on power.
Indeed, with Chinese investments in Hollywood at least temporarily down, the Saudis and their $230bn sovereign wealth fund, along with the UAE (which has already signed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of deals with Hollywood companies) were being viewed as the "new Chinese". That is, until Jamal Khashoggi's brutal murder forced some of the film and talent companies like Endeavor to suspend agreements already in process with the kingdom.
The fallout of the Khashoggi murder, however, is likely to be only a temporary setback for Saudi investments in Hollywood. Many companies, including theatre chains like AMC, chose to proceed with their Saudi deals. As the Committee to Protect Journalists has noted: "Everyone who had investments or relationships with Saudi Arabia knew their human rights record ... and the war in Yemen ... the treatment of women." With hundreds of millions of dollars in extra revenue a year on offer, "privately" a large share of executives have "expressed hope that a mitigating explanation would emerge that would allow business to continue."
And just a few months after the tragic death of the Saudi journalist, news reports about Netflix conceding to a Saudi censorship request demonstrated just how dangerous this newly involving financial relationship can be. Just like with China, Saudi Arabia's investment is likely to translate into casting and scripts that seek to please the source of funding.
Israeli hasbara
If China and Saudi Arabia's relationships with Hollywood have only recently emerged, Israel's has far deeper roots and remains on the most secure footing, despite intensive efforts by the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to raise awareness about the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
Even if we allow for some exaggeration, the claim by the head of the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, Jay Sanderson, that there is no "country that has a stronger relationship with Hollywood than Israel" is not wide of the mark. This is not just about the support for an overly represented pro-Israeli Jewish community in Hollywood or the role of Israelis in US film industry today, but also about how Israel itself has become a major source of talent onscreen and an important voice in programming.
As Moment magazine explained in a 2018 article, the development of Israel as a creative source for Hollywood was decades in the making and the product of intensive efforts by the government and the local Jewish community to develop the talent pool. With "master classes" and all-expense paid trips, these efforts helped Tel Aviv become a major incubator of the industry, leading to local original shows being adapted in the US (such as In Treatment, The Affair and Homeland).
Despite the fact that more actors and musicians are coming out in support of Palestinian rights and even BDS, the overall relationship between Israel and Hollywood remains incredibly strong.
The Israeli government has been investing significant efforts to ensure it stays that way, not just by fighting an all-out war against BDS, but also by promoting the development of local content and ideas that support stereotypical portrayals of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims as terrorists and Israeli security and intelligence forces as wounded and heroic, if flawed, defenders of the Middle East's "only democracy" (regularly "trending" Netflix shows like Fauda and Inside the Mossad are a good example of this phenomenon).
It seems Hollywood will continue to ignore Israeli crimes, even as the likes of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promise to bring millions of new Jewish settlers to the occupied Palestinian Territories and engage with the openly genocidal far-right Otzma Yehudit party.
It will continue to ensure successful "hasbara" (propaganda) efforts by the Israeli government, turning Israel's various wars into award-winning psychological self-examinations and even the "apartheid" wall into a prop in the zombie film, World War Z, (which the Times of Israel called the "greatest piece of cinematic propaganda for Israel" since the 1960 film Exodus).
In his acceptance speech after winning Best Director for his film, Roma, Alfonso Cuaron declared that the job of artists is "to look where others don't. This responsibility becomes much more important in times when we are being encouraged to look away."
In reality, Hollywood's financial and creative relationships with some of the most powerful forces in the entertainment universe (and here the outsized role of the US military in the shaping of Hollywood narratives is equally impossible to ignore) have created an environment where the very values that Oscar night is supposed to celebrate - unfettered creativity, insightful filmmaking, the building of bridges and the remembrance of the world's "forgotten" peoples - can never be realised.
If Hollywood's most creative and progressive stars are serious about changing this dynamic, they must start by refusing investments by governments engaged in massive human rights violations.

Chattanooga Zoo Komodo Dragon Hatchling DNA Results
Chattanooga, TN – In September 2019, the Chattanooga Zoo was pleased to announce the first successful Komodo dragon hatchlings by first-time mother, Charlie, through the recommendations of the AZA's Species Survival Plan (SSP). At that time, it was unknown if the offspring were a product of breeding between Charlie and the zoo's resident male, Kadal, or if parthenogenesis had occurred.
Parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction where the female produces offspring without male fertilization. In the wild, Komodo dragons mainly live isolated and often become violent when approached, which has allowed these animals to evolve to reproduce both sexually and parthenogenetically. Female Komodo dragons carry the sex chromosomes of WZ with males carrying ZZ. When parthenogenesis occurs, the mother can only create WW or ZZ eggs. Eggs with the sex chromosomes of WW are not viable, leaving only ZZ eggs to produce all male hatchlings. Parthenogenesis is considered a very rare phenomenon, with the first case of a successful parthenogenesis reproduction in Komodo dragons recorded in 2006.
DNA results show that the three Komodo dragon hatchlings born at the Chattanooga Zoo on August 4, 2019, were reproduced through parthenogenesis. The six-month-old brothers, named Onyx, Jasper, and Flint, are growing rapidly and doing very well. Although Kadal and Charlie were placed together in hopes of breeding, the Chattanooga Zoo staff is very excited to witness this monumental work of nature and be part of such an important conservation program. "Our staff is thrilled to play a part and to be able to witness this truly miraculous occurrence. As the Komodo dragon is listed as vulnerable to extinction, these hatchlings are even more special and represent a bright future for their species,"says Dardenelle Long, Chattanooga Zoo CEO and President.
The 14-acre Chattanooga Zoo (historically referred to as the Chattanooga Zoo at Warner Park) is accredited by the national Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), assuring the highest standards of animal care and husbandry. The Zoo is dedicated to its mission of engaging and inspiring all citizens of the community to better understand and preserve wildlife by creating meaningful connections between people and animals. With its intimate, innovative exhibits, wide-ranging education offerings and commitment to conservation, the Chattanooga Zoo fills a unique niche within the community. The Zoo is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. For more information, visit www.chattzoo.org.

Australian Wine Hit by Tariffs in Latest Salvo in China Trade War
By Andrew Tillett
(AFR) — Australian winemakers face tariffs of up to 200% after Chinese trade officials ruled producers had been dumping product, in a further escalation of tensions between the two countries.
A notice published by China's Ministry of Commerce on Friday said Chinese producers had sustained "substantive" damage, as the Australian government vowed to fight the decision.
The Chinese notice suggests winemakers face tariffs of between 107.1% and 212.1%.
Shares in Australia's biggest winemaker Treasury have dropped more than 11% following news of the tariffs.
The company's shares have been placed in a trading halt until an announcement by the company on the impact of the measure or the commencement of trading Tuesday, whichever is earlier.
Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said China's decision was deeply disappointing.
"The fact is Australia produces amongst the least subsidized product in the world and provides the second lowest level of farm subsidies in the OECD," he said.
"Today's decision is a seriously concerning development and one which Australia will be vigorously fighting against.
"The Australian government categorically rejects any allegation that our wine producers are dumping product into China, and we continue to believe there is no basis or any evidence for these claims.
"We will continue to work with our wine industry and Chinese authorities as part of the ongoing dumping investigation, but we will of course consider all of our options moving forward.
"Australian wine is hugely popular both in China and across the globe due to its high quality and we are confident that a full and thorough investigation will confirm this."

Editorials: Let's not give Chris Christie a pass for election chicanery | Rob Richie/Salon.com
Editorials: Let's not give Chris…
On October 16th – a Wednesday, no less – New Jersey voters are being asked to go to the polls to select a new U.S Senator to replace Jeffrey Chiesa, Gov. Chris Christie's stand-in for the long-time Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg, who died earlier this year. Bizarrely, this oh-so-special election takes place just 20 days before these same voters will be asked to return to the polls for the regularly scheduled election for governor and state legislature. The cost to New Jersey taxpayers? Some $12 million. The adverse impact on voter turnout for having two separate elections in 20 days? Significant. The partisan calculation behind the election date? Blatant. It's hard to know when we'll hit bottom in shameless manipulation of our electoral laws by leaders of both major parties, but let's hope it doesn't get much lower than Gov. Christie's "datemander." When announcing his election schedule last spring, Christie justified the October 16th date with his professed belief that New Jersey voters needed as many days as possible with an elected Senator – then proceeded to appoint a Republican who for four months opposed most of the positions held by the man originally elected by those voters.
We all know the real reason for this "Christiecookery." Christie wanted to keep the special election separate from his own re-election. As expected, Democrats have nominated Newark mayor Cory Booker, who is heavily favored to become the second African American elected to the U.S. Senate in the 21st century. With odd-year elections typically having lower turnout than even-year elections, Christie didn't want a new surge of voters to upset his re-election applecart – or adversely affect Republicans in state legislative elections.
For much of the media, such partisan manipulation was worth just a wink and a nod – even quiet admiration for the sheer gall of asking NewJersey to pay to boost Republican electoral fortunes. It's hard to imagine the media applauding if a sports team sneakily adjusted the height of the opponents' basket or scheduled a game earlier to avoid facing another team's best player who was returning from injury, for instance, – and then charged fans extra for the cost of rescheduling.

Learn how to set up an Epson printer wirelessly when you bring your new printer home you will want to start by installing the software that came with the new printer. You can set up your printer to work without wires and it will print from all over the house. There are 3 ways to set up the printer including the Epson way, with cables, and WPS. To determine is you need to use WPS, which is more complex, check your router to see if it has a sticker on it that says Wi-Fi Protected Setup. If that sticker is on the router you will have to use WPS to set up your printer. If you are already using WPS and don't use it for this installation you could cause your whole wireless network to fail. The Epson way does not require cables and it offers setup without the potential of network failure. To do the Epson set up all you need is a wireless router, the password for the router, and the ssid or the name of your network. On the printer control panel choose the wireless setup wizard button. Choose your network name from the list on the control panel. If your network is password protected enter your password. Then press OK Next you will confirm the information you have entered and press OK Exit from the wireless network setup and the wireless icon should change to indicate that you are receiving a wireless signal. Now you are ready to print wirelessly.

Dude, Where's My Protest?
Posted byJay Ulfelder February 22, 2021 Posted inUncategorizedTags:data collection, meta, social media
When you spend hours each day hunting for news reports and other public digital traces of protest events, you become acutely sensitive to the many ways in which the information you find may fail to tell the whole story, the accurate story, or even the story at all.
There are lots of reasons to care about these gaps in the record, but one that should concern scholars, data scientists, and journalists who try to learn things from protest event data is selection bias. If these bits of information were missing completely at random, we could consider our sample to be representative in spite of them and ignore the gaps when analyzing the data at scale. If, however, the gaps result from implicit or explicit filtering processes that allow certain types of information to seep through more often than others, then we have to worry about how these omissions could bias the inferences we draw.
So, what are some of those filtering processes that distort the picture we see of protest activity in the United States? Here is a non-exhaustive list of sources of selection bias that come up in the Crowd Counting Consortium's work, and that we design our collection strategies to overcome or to mitigate as much as we can.
If it bleeds, it leads. In local TV news, gruesome stories often get top billing. The broader principle here is that sensational events are more likely to draw audiences' attention, ergo to draw journalists' attention, ergo to get covered. Other things being equal, a group of people marching politely with signs is less interesting than a similar-sized group shouting at diners while they march, or blocking an intersection, or brandishing guns. That means we're more likely to hear about the latter than the former, and that selection effect distorts our view—not just of the incidence of protest activity overall, but also of the prevalence of confrontational or disruptive behavior within it.
Squirrel! Novelty draws attention. The other side of this coin is that familiar and routine things do not. In press coverage of protest activity and related conflict processes, this means that waves of activism often garner a lot of attention when they first emerge, but that attention tends to wane over time. So, other things being equal, events early in the wave are more likely to get reported (and thus encoded in datasets like ours) than later ones. With bursts of activism like the George Floyd uprising, this selection effect can make it harder to tell how much of the observed ebbing of activism represents a real decrease in the frequency of protest activity and how much is just the press (or their viewers and readers) getting bored and moving on to the next new thing.
Copaganda. Some news outlets (hi, New York Post) adopt a pro-police editorial line in their reporting on protest activity, and I think most readers and viewers know it. What many readers and viewers may not know is that coverage of supposedly unruly protest activity in many other news outlets also tilts towards the local police departments' understanding and description of it, in no small part because the police department is sometimes the main or even the only source of detailed information about protest events. Of course, everyone's got an angle, including protest participants. What's matters here, though, is that they aren't usually the ones issuing press releases that news outlets read and sometimes regurgitate. (For an excellent longer and broader discussion of this type of bias in protest reporting, see this June 2020 essay by Kendra Pierre-Louis.)
Paywalls. This is kind of boring to point out, but it's not trivial: some news sources are paywalled (with good reason; journalism is not cheap); CCC operates on a shoestring, so we can't afford subscriptions to every informative source; and we can't encode what we can't read. We try to minimize this problem with a blanketing strategy, searching as many national, local, and social-media sources as we can. Sometimes, though, an event only gets reported in one source, and that source is paywalled, so we can't quite see it to encode it, or we can only capture some of the relevant information.
The social media Red Queen's Race. One way to mitigate the bias caused by the filtering processes described above is to scour social media and public aggregators for reports of events that news outlets didn't cover, or for additional information and perspectives about events they did cover. For CCC, that means following open Twitter and Instagram accounts of scores of activist organizations, aggregators of information about local protest scenes, and many different independent journalists, whose reporting often provides some of the richest coverage of these events. This strategy helps quite a bit, but it also takes a lot of time to sustain, because the array of relevant sources and the platforms themselves are constantly evolving. The result is a Red Queen's Race in which—on top of doing the actual reading and encoding—you can never stop working at identifying useful accounts and figuring out how to extract information from them. Partial automation of this process can greatly reduce the workload, but shifts in relevant social-media ecosystems will eventually cause data drift, implying that the pipeline itself should be maintained or even overhauled at frequent intervals. So, that work never really ends, either. We would love to experiment with developing open-source tools to track protest activity via these platforms, but the start-up costs are steep. So, for now, we do it the old-fashioned way and continue to identify and review by hand as many of these accounts as we can.

Q: How to create a network if I only have the edges names? I'm trying to connect authors that are cited in the same process. My nodes are the authors and the edges the processes, but I don't know how to create an edgelist.

Casino Royale (with cheese)
Maximus July 1, 2013
I mentioned this project in passing the other day, in a post about the return of the cranes to the city skyline, and thought its worth having a bit of a closer look at it this morning. I've been sneaking off into Moore Wilson's car park to take photos every so often, and so this first photo is from a few months back, when just a skeletal framework is showing. There is, to my eye anyway, something quite beautiful about the clear simplicity of the structure on this building: there's an insitu concrete wall, and then there's some steelwork. The columns are relatively small and slender – the work is being done by the concrete wall, and so all these babies have to do is cope with gravity.
I may be wrong, as I haven't checked the consultants board, but this steelwork approach seems to be the approach of the keen minds at Dunning Thornton, and in particular local boy done good Alistair Cattanach, who is a mighty fine engineer, from what I hear. I think he was the engineer on the Blair/Wakefield apartments, where the columns are so thin and slender that they almost disappear at times, and he has also been the go-to engineer for interesting projects around town, including CoCA at Massey University. Long may that continue.
Il Casino was of course the site for the famous restaurant that Remi Bresolin ran here for years, a Venetian style trattoria I believe (never having got there myself). The front of the three old brick houses remains, in hideous pink, and are supported by massive steel structure just to hold it in place while work is going on.
The new building has probably reached the top by now, and is currently shrouded in netting, but these photos still show the structure before the netting went on. The title of this post is, of course, a thinly veiled tribute to Tarantino in his Pulp Fiction days, as well as a weird mashup of Bond. Casino Royale of course was filmed partially in Venice, and so it all ties back together, sort of… in my mind anyway.
So we've got two stonking great in-situ shear walls running full height, big concrete diaphragm floor plates holding it together, and then a precast wall at the rear that finishes off the backside. I do like a well finished backside, I do. No one wants to look at a building that has an ugly arse end – but every one enjoys a finely proportioned rump. Or have I just been admiring rumps and drinking rums too much? Whatever. Sometimes buildings have no backsides, sometimes they're all just a bunch of arse (see recent post for discussion…). This building, of course, is oriented towards the sun, towards the sea, towards the happy ending of Tory Street where it comes into Courtenay, and yet this building has an all important back side as well. In fact, perhaps more important than at first it may seem – the rear facade will be seen by every single driver of the State Highway through to the Basin, and so it's carefully manicured striations will be a subject of many a traffic light ponderer for years to come. It's also going to be highly prominent from the new Memorial Park, where it will stand out like a beacon. Let's hope that it stands out in a better way than the other tower blocks presently visible from the Park.
There is also a nice continuance with the concrete brutalist facade of the old Cricketers Arms, now (still?) Happy, which haunts this corner on Vivian. Our frequent browsing archivist Stark likes this building, or so he has said before, but not all Wellingtonians do. Let's face it – it can be harsh. But it's appropriate for the setting – and so too is the back of the Casino.
And so we come back to the beginning. The cladding is going on, rustling behind the wrapping, and this will be the main ingredient for the recipe here. Architects for the job were Studio Pacific, but the job is being carried out by another firm I believe, so I'm not sure who will take the credit on completion. Certainly the restoration of the old brick facades will be a big important part of the job, and I'm hoping that the hideous pink can go away and never return. How will the ultra new modern apartment designs go with the old crusty walls of the existing carcass? How will the new apartment owners cope with the eternal traffic jams of Tory, Jessie and College Sts? How will the sounds of late night revellers wandering and carousing their way up Tory St on the proceeds of a night of cheap wine and vodka red bull chasers go down with the expensive budgets of the presumed apartment owners, poised above them? Time will tell. So far, though, it's looking good.

Happiness is a warm puppy.
name (required) on July 2, 2013
Hmmm, thank you, I think. Looking back at those pics above – and the dark stains of water cascading down the side of Happy Puppies / Warm Gun, it does make me wonder what the rear facade of this building is going to look like in a few years time. It's got that diagonal hatching patterning thing going on, although I'm not sure if there is a bigger picture / overall effect. Will e concrete stain in an obligatory diagonal pattern, or will gravity and the wind win out, and the water find its own way down?
Starkive on July 2, 2013
I guess I should be relieved at not having to defend the honour of the Cricketer's Arms again, but I do feel moved to point out the less than satisfying contrast between the heft of its in-situ poured concrete and the rather vapid precast slabs of Cheeseburger Towers. Shades of Countdown (http://eyeofthefish.org/Prison-Shop/).
Matt D on July 2, 2013
The keen minds at Dunning Thornton would like to point out that they are not associated with this one…
Maximus on July 2, 2013
Aaha! Dissension in the ranks! So, once more I'm wrong – Starkive doesn't like the concrete here (not quite sure by what reason you call it Cheeseburger towers?), and Matt D says that DTC were not involved. Interesting – ill have to go and censor my comments – but, so, Matt: who are the engineers then?
I'm a little annoyed at myself there – I was getting cocky, so to speak, as I thought that I could detect a "house style" in engineering emerge, in the same way that you can often see a "house style" emerge in architectural projects. Much harder in engineering projects of course, because A – it is often all covered up, and B – the same laws of physics apply and so the same issues need to be resolved by the same pieces of steel.
Cheeseburger tag courtesy of your Tarantino reference… but also because it won't be the nourishing sheer walls that are visible at the end, but the salty pre-cast topping.

>where the columns are so thin and slender that they almost disappear at times
On the other hand, check out the new The Hub at VUW if you want to see columns that are absolutely massive. I popped in to see it a couple of weekends ago and think it's a pretty cool space.
Jim on July 3, 2013
I think Silvester Clark are the engineers. They also completed Patent 326 Apartments with Globe Holdings
greenwelly on July 4, 2013
@DavidP Yeah, I wandered through the HUB the other day, and yes it is a cool space, but I was a little disappointed that it had so many stairs, I mean yes you can have access on wheels (chairs, trolleys etc) at all level, but you have to use lifts and other elevating devices.
It really felt as if the barrier free access was added as an afterthought when with such a major redevelopment, it should have been possible to incorporate slops and ramps as part of the design to make it totally seemless,
Andy B on July 5, 2013
But the stairs are the seats. Dd you see it when the students were there, or when they were not? Full of students, it is amazing – the mountain of stairs becomes seating everywhere.
@Andy B, yes I know the stairs are the seats and I am not advocating removing them,
What I am saying is that it should have been possible to also incorporate a sloping path through the space that for example would remove the need for the clumsy "lift" that is needed to span the small height difference between the easterfield level and the lower floor level… It just stands out as a last minute solution and not part of an intergrated design
Super or not?

Handmade in Italy, this lovely supple tyre from Challenge is designed for training in name alone. Unless your training miles are logged exclusively in Majorca or southern Italy, it's simply not tough enough for winter riding conditions.
Over the course of a wet winter you will puncture it – it's all too easy to penetrate, even through the tread. The flipside is that it rolls really well, like a summer race tyre with all that that implies. It's so supple that the boxed tyre had a flat rather than C-shape profile. Fitting the tyre is hard work and requires toe-straps to hold it in place.


I was interviewed by a South Korean newspaper MoneyToday in January to talk about blockchain's impact on today and tomorrow's economy. Although I am an engineer and not an economist at all, I have had a lot of thoughts on this. So I shared my thoughts from the perspective of an AI engineer / researcher who have been digging into blockchain since 2012, which many blockchain advocates may not agree with (based on summaries we observed from Opinion Engine we built). They published the article in April: http://news.mt.co.kr/mtview.php?no=2019040110063375883&type=1 .
The article is in Korean (which I can only read by Google translate). Here is my best recollection for part of the conversations in English.
Q: Some of the advocates of blockchain say that there are fields that require centralized systems even after far-reaching developments and expansions of the blockchain technology. What do you think about this? If you agree on this idea, what do you think are the areas in which centralized systems and decentralized systems can be most efficiently utilized, respectively?
A: It's exciting to think about how cryptocurrencies could replace money, how all payments could be done over blockchain, or how decentralized autonomous organizations could replace governments.
While these are all fun to think about, there is an old saying that the best technologies transform how we do things, but don't really change what we do. For example, when cars replaced horses, what we do is still moving from point A to B. When Internet replaced radio which replaced pigeons. it is still all about sending a message from Alice to Bob.
It's very likely we will still have governments, money, and banks, which were spontaneously formed over centuries based on what our society need, rather than artificial processes designed by small groups of people. These entities are fictional things that exist because people believe in them. Unless we change what everyone believes, these things would remain to appear as centralized entities, regardless how decentralized their infrastructure may be. If blockchain is really one of the best technologies that transform the world, it is very likely that it would remain invisible as it gets pervasive, and most people might just live their lives just as usual, unaware of what blockchain is.
It goes without saying that not everything should be decentralized. Centralized systems can make faster decisions and are more efficient when middlemen don't exist at all, for example, in use cases such as surgical robots, self-driving cars, machine translation. There is little benefit of adopting decentralized systems when consensus and trustless permanent ledgers are not required.
Q: There still exists high anticipation for the era of decentralization which may be achieved by blockchain. What kinds of changes do you expect the society, economy, as well as human lives and behaviors will undergo in the era of decentralization?
Rather than seeing blockchain repeatedly hitting news headlines as it had been in 2017 and 2018, I hope real adoptions quietly happen in 2019. So let's look at some changes I noticed based on my personal experience in real life.
I see an increasing amount of payments made through Ethers or similar cryptocurrencies, primarily for paying goods or services overseas. I do that myself when I want to pay oversea contractors. It is just much easier than wire transfer, if the other party knows what he is dong. Friends of mine built EOS wallets and games, which started to form their own communities. The games are quite fun. The limitation with blockchain infrastructure seems not to be a major problem. Some of these games also incentivize people with cryptocurrencies. It's just much more rewarding than meaningless gold coins created by random gaming companies that's only useful in the gaming world.
I also saw people making bets on sports and games on blockchain. Obviously, transparent and trackable gambling is safer and good for the society. If it can be adopted at scale, gambling would become a lot easier to regulate.
People have started creating marketplace for dApps. Because of the limitation in infrastructure, the usage is nowhere close to App Store or Google Play. But I hope one day they get big enough so that we won't have to rely on centralized platforms such as iOS, Mac, and Windows anymore.


FeederWatch researchers and students at Cornell University gained an unprecedented amount of information about the feeding behaviors of our favorite backyard birds by fitting wild birds in the Ithaca, New York, area with small transmitters called PIT (passive integrated transponder) tags.
The small transponders measure 2 mm by 12 mm and weigh less than 0.1 grams! Tags are attached to leg bands.
PIT tags are attached to leg bands–one tag per bird. These lightweight tags weigh less than 0.1 gram (for comparison, a Black-capped Chickadee averages approximately 11 grams). Each tag transmits a unique identification number to a reading device that is built into a specially "wired" bird feeder containing an RFID circuit board and antenna. Every time a bird with a tag visits the RFID feeder, the bird's identity is recorded along with the date and time of the visit.
Since initiating a pilot study of the technology in November of 2009, more than 120 Black-capped Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches, House Finches, and Tufted Titmice have been tagged and more than 2.5 million visits to the wired feeders have been recorded!
A tagged Black-capped Chickadee feeding at a bird feeder equipped with an RFID circuit board.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology used to read the PIT tags and automatically record the feeding behavior of the birds in our study. RFID is a widespread technology that is used for a variety of commercial purposes. It is used to track boxes in warehouses and is even used in passports! You may be most familiar with PIT tags as the "microchips" that veterinarians implant in pets so that lost animals may be identified and returned to their owners.
Dr. Eli Bridge of the University of Oklahoma is the engineering guru behind the development of the low-cost RFID readers. Learn more about Eli's inexpensive RFID readers on his web site.
What can we learn about bird behavior through the use of RFID?
When do birds feed during the day?
How is feeding behavior affected by weather or competitors?
What influence does feeder location (edge vs. interior of a forest) have on feeding behavior?
How are feeding patterns influenced by gender and dominance status?
And over time, we can track survival in our study populations.
Individual birds took up to 203 seeds in a single day (some of these they almost certainly cached for later in the season).
Most chickadees had favorite feeders—one or two locations they habitually visited even though several other feeders were available within the typical home-range area of a chickadee.
Over three months, a single Tufted Titmouse drifted through the woods, frequenting three feeders one after another across a distance of more than half a mile.
A Black-capped Chickadee spent two months visiting a feeder daily, then abruptly moved nearly a half-mile away to a different feeder.
The feeder/readers were very accurate—garbled identifications happened less than one percent of the time. By comparison, humans recording color bands make mistakes five percent of the time or more.
Graduate student, Jon DeCoste, uses RFID feeders to study movements in sick and healthy House Finches.
Jon DeCoste examined various aspects of how the bacterium Mycoplasma gallisepticum infects wild finches, often leading to the House Finch eye disease while he was a graduate student in Cornell's Ecology and Evolutionary Biology program. Jon used a network of RFID feeders in the Ithaca, New York, area to study movements in both sick and healthy House Finches and to quantify where and how long birds feed. Jon predicted that sick birds would be less likely to move large distances and would spend more time at supplemental feeders than healthy birds.
The wonderful folks at Wild Birds Unlimited provided tremendous support for this research by supplying free, high-quality bird seed. Please visit the WBU online store!
We designed and built our own RFID readers, which greatly reduced the financial barriers limiting this kind of research. But our projects still require funds to purchase PIT tags, batteries, and other equipment. To support this research, please donate to FeederWatch and type "RFID" in the Comments box under "Additional Information." Donations labeled "RFID" will only be used to support the RFID research.
The inexpensive RFID readers used in our research were detailed in the March 2011 issue of the Journal of Field Ornithology along with a review article of how RFID can and has been used in ornithological research.

Lyft Hit with Class Action in California Over Alleged Robocalls
Ronquillo v. Lyft, Inc.
Filed: July 2, 2019 ◆§ 3:19cv1230
A consumer alleges in a class action that she received at least one unauthorized call from Lyft that displayed the common signs of being an automated robocall.
Lyft, Inc.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act
A California consumer alleges in a proposed class action that Lyft ran afoul of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) when it intentionally placed at least one automated call to her cell phone without consent to do so.
According to the lawsuit, the reported call from Lyft displayed the "common signs" of being placed by way of an automated telephone dialing system. The plaintiff claims she received a call from Lyft in February 2019 that dropped after only a short period of time during which she did not answer the phone.
The case goes on to say the plaintiff's attorney called the number from which Lyft contacted the woman, and eventually connected with a live agent who offered to help the attorney set up a Lyft account. Lyft, the lawsuit alleges, places such calls as a means to solicit drivers to sign up for its ride-share business, and does so despite whether or not an individual has any prior relationship with the company.
The lawsuit looks to cover a proposed class of individuals in the United States who received from Lyft a call that utilized a pre-recorded voice and was placed by way of an automated telephone dialing system within the last two years.

About the cars/
BRDC Formula 4/
BRDC Formula 4 - November 2013
The BRDC F4 Championship is the most competitive single seater championship in the UK, with grids regularly exceeding 20 cars at each round.
Competing drivers gain strong recognition thanks to an excellent ITV4 highlights show and close links with the British Racing Drivers' Club, whose members have achieved at the highest levels of the sport. The 2013 top three drivers, including Hillspeed's Seb Morris, were all finalists in the prestigious McLaren Autosport BRDC Award.
The championship features 24 races across eight events, with an outstanding calendar including the Silverstone GP, Brands Hatch GP, Donington Park, Snetterton 300 and Oulton Park circuits. BRDC F4 also supports the British GT Championship at selected rounds.
The weekend format includes a 20-minute qualifying session and three 20-minute races.
The grid for the first race is set in qualifying order, the grid for the second in the finishing order of race one with the top eight reversed, and the grid for the third race in the order of fastest laps from race one or two. This format provides exciting racing, means that misfortune in qualifying or races doesn't have to ruin the weekend for drivers, and allows drivers to develop overtaking skills.
In races one and three, points are scored from 35 for a win to one for 20th. In race two, points are scored from 25 for a win to one for 20th.

MARQUETTE — After more than a year of contract negotiations, including extensive bargaining that lasted late Thursday night and through early this morning, registered nurses at UP Health System-Marquette and hospital leaders have agreed in principle on the terms of a new collective bargaining agreement.
Details of any tentative agreement will not be disclosed until presented to members at ratification meetings, which will be held Thursday at Northern Michigan University in the Bottum University Center's Charcoal Room. A new contract will not take effect until it is ratified democratically by a majority of members, according to a release issued today by the Michigan Nurses Association.
"This is a win for our entire UP community, and we could not have come this far without strong community support. I want to thank all of our friends, family members, and neighbors who continue to support us," Scott Balko, operating room RN and president of the UPHS-Marquette Staff Council/MNA, said in a release.
The chapter of the MNA covering RNs at Duke LifePoint's UPHS-Marquette released a statement on Monday that said nurses would schedule another strike if negotiations weren't met by Thursday.
Nurses at UPHS-Marquette have been in contract negotiations with Duke LifePoint since April 2017. Nurses have been working without a contract after a two-month contract expired in July 2017.
On Oct. 5 and 6, a two-day strike highlighting staffing concerns was conducted as hundreds of people in the community marched along College Avenue in solidarity with nurses.
Last month, nurses voted to authorize its bargaining team to call a second strike, which resulted in an overwhelming amount of support, an MNA press release states. The elected bargaining team represents about 375 RNs at UPHS-Marquette and has the authority to call a strike. By law, they are required to give the hospital 10 days of notice.

Losing confidence
The government may soon face a vote of no confidence, the second this year. How often do these votes happen — and succeed?
— Since 1945, UK governments have faced votes of no confidence on 23 occasions. Only one of these has been successful — when Jim Callaghan lost by a single vote on 28 March 1979, precipitating the election which brought Margaret Thatcher to power.
— There have been 24 successful votes of no confidence in history, 13 of which were in the latter half of the 19th century.
— Since 1900 there have been only three — that in 1979, and two in 1924 which brought down Stanley Baldwin and Ramsay MacDonald respectively.
— William Gladstone holds the ignominious record of having lost three such votes, in 1873, 1885 and 1886. But even the third defeat was not the end, and he returned as prime minister in 1892.
Cold comfort
What kills more people in the UK, hot or cold weather? Estimated deaths per 100,000 population during the 2000s:

With the departure of Theresa May there are now five living ex-prime ministers. Is this an unusually high number?
— Post-1945, we have only once had five living ex-prime ministers. Between the resignation of Margaret Thatcher on 28 November 1990 and the death of Harold Wilson on 24 May 1995, Thatcher, James Callaghan, Edward Heath, Wilson and Lord Home were all living.
— The lowest number of living ex-prime ministers in modern times was between the death of Edward Heath on 17 July 2005 and the resignation of Tony Blair on 27 June 2007, when only Margaret Thatcher and John Major were alive.
Rare delivery
An operation to separate a pair of Pakistani conjoined twins took place at Great Ormond Street Hospital. How common is the phenomenon?
— 1 in every 200,000 live births are conjoined twins.
— However, just as many are stillborn.
— Of the live births, only 35% survive for more than one day.
— 70% of conjoined twins are female.
