Structural upgrade in exports, imports boosts trade between China and Russia
In 2018, trade between the two countries was more than $100 billion, according to data released by the Ministry of Commerce in January.
China's trade with Russia could be further boosted as bilateral goods trade is undergoing a structural upgrade amid downward economic pressure and stagnant global trade, said industry insiders at the economic forum at the 125th Canton Fair in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province on Tuesday.
The stable growth in bilateral trade between China and Russia, according to Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia Studies in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is the result of high-level cooperation and an upgrade in the export and import business.
At the ongoing Canton Fair, more than 6,000 buyers from Russia came, representing an annual increase of 6.4 percent from last year.
The year of 2018 witnessed stable growth in the trade between China and Russia, and provided a driving force in China's foreign trade. In 2018, trade between the two countries was more than $100 billion, according to data released by the Ministry of Commerce in January.
"In the past, the Chinese exports to Russia were mostly household products with little added value," Sun said. "Now there is structural upgrade in the industry, with a growing trend of brand building and localizing production among Chinese companies in Russia, resulting in a significant increase in China's exports to Russia, especially in the e-commerce sector."
E-commerce between China and Russia in 2013 was 36 million euros ($40.8 million), but the number exceeded 338 million euros in 2018. Companies including smartphone manufacturers Xiaomi and Huawei have already established offices in Russia, aiming to build a stronger brand among the locals.
The growth can also be attributed to the high-level cooperation between the two countries, especially facilitated by a series of preferential governmental export policies, including Russia's efforts to simplify the declaration process at customs.
Belonogov Yevgeny, secretary of the Russian Embassy in China, said at the forum that the Russian customs has been making efforts to make the declaration process as simple as possible by establishing an electronic declaration system to reduce the cost of shipping for Chinese exporters. By 2020, electronic declarations are expected to make up 90 percent of declarations from China to Russia, according to Yevgeny.
The booming trade partnership between China and Russia will have a stabilizing effect on the performance of the Chinese economy in the future, according to Jia Kang, chief economist with the China Academy of New Supply-side Economics.
"For now, the Chinese economy has outperformed some forecasts earlier this year, with the IMF predicting GDP growth will be 6.3 percent in comparison to the previously predicted 6.2 percent,"Jia said. "Stable trade with Russia will continue to contribute to a stable performance in 2019."

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland shares a light moment with the Revd. Dr. Andrew Teal during a public conversation on Latter-day Saint beliefs and doctrine at the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin at the University of Oxford on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018.
OXFORD, England — Three Protestant leaders were burned at the stake here after a "theological conversation" at the 1,000-year-old University Church of St. Mary the Virgin in 1555.
The martyrs' deaths are memorialized by a stone cross set in the road on Oxford's Broad Street.
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles answers a question about the beliefs and doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the Rev. Dr. Andrew Teal, chaplain and lecturer in theology at Pembroke College at the University of Oxford, looks on in the Clore Old Library at the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018.
An important Anglican chaplain mentioned that history Thursday during his unique public conversation with a Latter-day Saint apostle at the same church.
"I hope that the outcome today will be a lot better for all of us," joked the Rev. Dr. Andrew Teal, chaplain and lecturer at Pembroke College.
It was. The 90-minute conversation ended with Rev. Teal warmly embracing Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Standing between old stone walls on creaking wooden floors in the very room where Oxfam was founded in 1942, the two leaders plainly deepened a budding friendship. They found common ground, explored their ideas about frontier spirituality and discussed points of doctrine about the Trinity, temples, dancing, baptism for the dead, the Fall and priesthood ordination in an intimate back-and-forth before a full room of 50 theology faculty and students, the public and local Latter-day Saints.
"There are lots of things to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day," Rev. Teal said to Elder Holland as day turned to night and the windows fogged. "It's fantastic to have you here."
The beginnings of University Church date back more than 1,000 years. The room for Thursday's meeting once housed the first library at Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Methodist founder John Wesley preached here. Legendary Anglican-turned-Catholic Cardinal John Henry Newman was the vicar here when Joseph Smith organized The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1830.
Elder Holland delivered a candid explanation of Latter-day Saint theology that had echoes to his visit to the seat of British government on Wednesday.
An online description of the sacred texts available for swearing in new members of the British Parliament lists a "Mormon Bible," a mistaken and anachronistic term for the Book of Mormon that would alternately amuse, frustrate or offend Latter-day Saints.
Elder Holland visited the clerk who oversees the texts on Wednesday and presented her with a new, leatherbound copy of the book for the collection, a step toward clearing up confusion about the faith in the United Kingdom, where it has 186,000 members.
On Thursday, he delivered a rousing defense of the Book of Mormon at Oxford, which has produced a dozen Catholic saints, 19 English cardinals and 20 archbishops of Canterbury.
He said Latter-day Saints differ from 4th- and 5th-century Christianity in their belief in the teaching of Moses that "my works are without end, and … my words … never cease."
"I, for one, would feel to walk on hot lava and chew broken glass," he said, "if I could find a document, any document anywhere, containing any new words of Christ — 50 words, 20 words, one new word from the Son of God — let alone hundreds of pages that record the appearance, teachings, covenants and counsel he gave to a heretofore unknown audience."
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of answers a question about the beliefs and doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during a public conversation with the Rev. Dr. Andrew Teal, chaplain and lecturer in theology at Pembroke College at the University of Oxford, in the Clore Old Library at the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018.
He referred to the Fall as fortunate and redemption as universally inclusive, which led to follow-up questions from Rev. Teal about the Fall as an educational step and about baptism for the dead. Rev. Teal noted that the Oxford Movement, propelled by Newman in the very church where they stood Thursday, called for prayers for the dead.
"Everyone is covered," Elder Holland said, "though it remains to be seen whether everyone cares. But if there is a failure to respond, it will not be because God did not try and Christ did not come. That is at the heart of what I have been introducing to you as the restored gospel."
Rev. Teal, clearly interested in the persecutions of early Latter-day Saints, said humans are naturally "frontier creatures" and asked Elder Holland about "frontier spirituality." Elder Holland said his faith's pioneer heritage "had a binding, covenantal impact on us," creating an early heritage of service, care and watching out for each other as the pioneers were driving literally across the United States and eventually its borders.
He described additional differences with creedal Christianity. "Restored Christianity," he said, is about the ancient church in what he called its New Testament purity: "So, if one means Greek-influenced, council-convening, philosophy-flavored Christianity of post-apostolic times, we are not that kind of Christian."
He said God and Christ are separate, distinct beings "as all fathers and sons are" and said divine priesthood authority is "our most distinguishing feature."
Rev. Teal responded by calling the Christian journey one with real tensions but said, "We are both determined to be aware that our history should not collapse into categories in which we label each other as distant."
Elder Holland agreed: "We've let some differences, significant differences, get in the way of a larger, warmer, wonderful conversation."
He praised Rev. Teal, who told the Deseret News that he has watched many of his new friend's talks online, for his preparation, saying he already knew more about Latter-day Saint theology than many of the faith's members.
"I find him a wholesome, faithful and inspiring man," Rev. Teal told the Deseret News, "indeed, 'great' but lacking all pomposity of grandeur — I love his humor and really respond to the 'gift of tears' which he so often receives and unashamedly shares. I … hope that this is the start of a fruitful friendship."
Rev. Teal, who became friends with Elder Holland's son Matthew Holland during the younger Holland's sabbatical at Oxford last year, said he intended Thursday's dialogue to increase collaborative understanding.
"We need each other's eyes to see ourselves," he said. "There's something lively going on."
He told the Deseret News he had a specific goal in mind.
"Might it be possible to listen carefully, attentively and respectfully, to ask questions with integrity and intellectual honesty of one another, without defensiveness or tribalism?" he said in an email. "Well, only friends would know! I do hope that this is foundational in an appreciative understanding of the contribution of the Church of Jesus Christ's theology and community life to a vision of Christianity that is rich and nuanced."
After the conversation and their embrace, Elder Holland sought to extend the dialogue. He extended an official invitation to Rev. Teal to speak at the church's flagship school, Brigham Young University in Provo.

Who Is the Show All American Based On?
Posted by By Rubal December 17, 2022
Have the Events Depicted in 'All American' Ever Happened?
The third season of American is now available on Netflix, and the show is still firmly entrenched in the Netflix Top 10. On Monday, October 25, The CW will premiere the fourth season of the sports drama, and the spin-off series All American: Homecoming will premiere the following week.
In All American, Daniel Ezra plays Spencer James, a star American football player at South Crenshaw High School in South Los Angeles.
Season 1 begins with Beverly Hills High football coach Billy Baker spotting Spencer James and recruiting him to play for the rival school (Taye Diggs).
The series follows James as he commits to his new team at Beverly High while also maintaining his allegiance to his hometown.
In the third season, Spencer is a senior at Crenshaw High School.
Spencer Paysinger, a former professional American football player and now a consulting producer for the show is the source of inspiration for the show.
Also: Who Is Ted Lasso Based On? Is He a Real Story
Davis, the Beverly Hills High School assistant football coach, was a character he portrayed.
Several events and characters in Paysinger's life have been changed for dramatic purposes in the show.
The two Spencers, for instance, don't even play the same position. In All-American, Spencer James displays his abilities as a defensive back, runner, receiver, and kick returner. In real life, Spencer Paysinger lined up at wide receiver and occasionally on defense.
While Spencer James goes to both South Crenshaw High and Beverly Hills High, Spencer Paysinger only went to one school.
Spencer James quit playing football after his father, Corey (Chad L. Coleman), took over as coach at South Crenshaw High but passed away from a terminal illness in season two. Spencer Paysinger did not have an experience like that. All through high school, Donald Paysinger Sr. encouraged and supported his son.
In real life, Spencer Paysinger was never shot and killed by rival gang members, as depicted in All American, Season 2.
Robbie Rogers, a producer, recently told ESPN: "This is based on actual events, and giving the characters names and faces helps make the story more tangible. It was crucial to hear it directly from Spencer."
Also: Custom Profile Picture for Netflix: How Can I Get and Set a Custom Netflix Profile Picture?
Paysinger, a linebacker who played football in high school and college, was signed as an undrafted free agent by the New York Giants in 2011. He participated in the team's victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
He originally joined the Miami Dolphins for the 2015 season on a one-year contract and was re-signed for the 2016 season.
And then in June of 2017, he was signed by the New York Jets, only to be cut before the 2017 NFL regular season even began.
After signing with the Carolina Panthers on December 5 and playing in three games for the team, he was waived on December 29.
At the start of 2018, at the age of 29, Paysinger announced his retirement from football.
Paysinger told ESPN of his retirement thoughts: "As I packed my things that day, I sat in my locker and remembered that moment with a smile. I never wanted football to be my highest peak."
Outside of All American, Paysinger runs his own coffee shop, Hilltop Cafe, in south Los Angeles, and runs Afterball LLC—an investment fund that helps retired football players with their next steps in life after retiring from the sport.
Football runs in the Paysinger family. His uncle, Carter Paysinger, was the head football coach at Beverly Hills High from 1990 to 2009, and his father, Donald Paysinger, worked with the school as an assistant and head coach for over 30 years.
Just like Spencer James in All American, Paysinger grew up in Los Angeles and attended Beverly Hills High, the school James moves to from Crenshaw High.
James' college years are yet to be explored in All American but it will most likely follow Paysinger's path, who went on to play college football at Oregon, becoming captain and team leader.
Luckily, All American fans do not have too long to wait until season four lands on Netflix.
The fourth series of All American will arrive on Netflix worldwide shortly after it has finished airing on The CW.
All American seasons 1 to 3 are streaming on Netflix now.

Strategy and charter
Zurück Zurück zu OFCOM
Strategy and charter selected
OFCOM's strategy is based on its vision, which specifies the general orientation of its actions, and its mission, which derives from the basic mandate which the Federal Council entrusts to OFCOM. As for the charter, this documents the values that OFCOM's colleagues apply in their everyday work.
The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) is active in the media, telecommunications & postal services and information society sectors in Switzerland. The Office ensures a stable and progressive communications infrastructure, lays the foundations for a strong Swiss media center and coordinates the implementation of the "Digital Switzerland" Strategy. The Office prepares the decisions of the Swiss government (the Federal Council), the Swiss Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) and the Swiss Federal Communications Commission (ComCom). OFCOM is also developing international activities.
The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) is part of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) and performs tasks both for the DETEC and for the Federal Communications Commission (ComCom). OFCOM's mandate derives from the Telecommunications Act (TCA), the Federal Act on Radio and Television (RTVA) and the Postal Services Act.
As the competence center for telecommunications, the media and the postal services within the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, and Communications (DETEC, we actively contribute to the smooth operation and the successful development of a democratic digital society.
In relation to the media:
OFCOM guarantees the general conditions for strengthening a diverse media system which contributes to democratic opinion-forming and decision-making, taking into account the constantly changing usage habits as well as technical and economic transformation processes.
OFCOM puts into place the conditions necessary for ensuring a public identity-building service at the national, regional-linguistic and local levels in the area of the electronic media, and creates a basis for contemporary supporting mechanisms for the media.
In relation to telecommunications and postal services
OFCOM ensures the framework conditions in order to guarantee effective competition and a universal service adapted to needs, so that secure and modern communication infrastructures as well as varied, advantageous and competitive telecommunications and postal services (including public service in the field of payment traffic) can be made available to the population and the economy.
In the field of telecommunications, OFCOM also ensures an adequate allocation of radiocommunication frequencies and addressing resources, guarantees undisturbed radio communications, regulates market access for telecommunications facilities and electrical appliances, promotes the efficient use of frequencies and the implementation of technological innovations, and supports the evolution of the information society by identifying risks and opportunities.
OFCOM coordinates the further development of the "Digital Switzerland" Strategy. In his role as intermediary, OFCOM provides a holistic view of both the risks and the opportunities of digital transformation.
In relation to the fulfilment of its mission, OFCOM bases itself on the following values:
Acceptance of responsibility
As OFCOM employees, we accept responsibility for our performance and results. We apply ourselves critically and constructively, both within and beyond our narrow area of responsibility. As a result we work better and avoid mistakes. Externally, we argue loyally for decisions.
Future-oriented
We recognise social, political, technical and economic developments at an early stage. From this we derive any need for action or change and indicate possible actions to the relevant decision-makers.
All OFCOM employees have a responsibility to develop themselves. OFCOM promotes the development of its employees and supports targeted measures which contribute to ensuring that their tasks can continue to be fulfilled successfully in the future.
For us, respect means more than politeness when dealing with other people. We take the concerns of our counterparts seriously and take time to listen and explain our positions and decisions fully and comprehensibly.
Cost consciousness
We use our resources so that they have the maximum effect on the fulfilment of our mission. To this end, we always ask ourselves whether an objective can be achieved with fewer resources. In our actions, we also consider the financial consequences on third parties.
We work together across technical specialisms, professional groups and the Office. This requires openness towards other people, approaches and perceptions, but also an interest in the content of relevant specialist areas outside our own area of activity.

Q: problem of the class Scanner in java when Input an integer and multiline string I met a problem when I solved an algorithm problem in java. the algorithm is as follows:
Problem description:
Given n hexadecimal positive integers, output their octal Numbers
Input format:
the first action of the input is a positive integer n (1<= n <=10) the next n lines, each line consists of a string of 0~9 uppercase,letters A~F, representing the hexadecimal positive integers to be converted, each hexadecimal number not exceeding 100,000 in length
The output format
Output n rows, each lines input corresponding octal positive integer.
【 note 】
The hexadecimal number you enter does not have a leading 0, such as 012A.
The output octal number must not have a leading 0
The sample input:

2 39 123ABC

Sample output:

71  4435274

my solution is below:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String[] hexMapping = {
        "0000", "0001", "0010", "0011", "0100", "0101", "0110", "0111",
        "1000", "1001", "1010", "1011", "1100", "1101", "1110", "1111"
    };
    Map<String,String> octMapping = new HashMap<>();
    octMapping.put("000","0");
    octMapping.put("001","1");
    octMapping.put("010","2");
    octMapping.put("011","3");
    octMapping.put("100","4");
    octMapping.put("101","5");
    octMapping.put("110","6");
    octMapping.put("111","7");

    String hexString = "";
    StringBuilder hex2Bin = new StringBuilder("");
    StringBuilder bin2Oct = new StringBuilder("");

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    int n = input.nextInt();

//  consuming the <enter> from input above
    input.nextLine();

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        hexString = input.nextLine();
        // hex to bin
        int hexLen = hexString.length();
        for (int j = 0; j < hexLen; j++) {
            if (hexString.charAt(j)>'9') {
                hex2Bin.append(hexMapping[hexString.charAt(j)-'A'+10]);
            } else {
                hex2Bin.append(hexMapping[hexString.charAt(j)-'0']);
            }
        } //end for

        // add "00" or "0"
        int len = hex2Bin.length();
        if (len % 3 == 1) {
            hex2Bin.insert(0,"00");
        } else if (len % 3 == 2) {
            hex2Bin.insert(0,"0");
        }

        // bin to oct
        int newLen = hex2Bin.length();
        String temp = "";
        for (int j = 0; j < newLen; j+=3 ) {
            temp = octMapping.get(hex2Bin.substring(j,j+3));
            if (temp.equals("0")) {
                continue;
            }
            bin2Oct.append(temp);
        } //end for
        System.out.println(bin2Oct);
    }//end for
    input.close();
}

when I input:

1 39

or

1 123ABC

both two are correct.
but when I input:

2 39 123ABC

I can't get the correct answer.
I think the cause is the input when I use Scanner in for loop, I don't know how to solve this problem, could you tell me?

A: You're printing the contents of bin2Oct at the end of your loop, but that variable is reused across all iterations.
You need to declare those variables inside your loop so they are recreated each time. In other words, move the following block:
StringBuilder hex2Bin = new StringBuilder("");
StringBuilder bin2Oct = new StringBuilder("");

to your loop (after the line with for (...)).

A: you just have to initialize the two StringBuilder on each test case in the for loop, at the first try it will always works, because it is empty, but in the later tries you keep working with the old values and this will gives you Wrong Answer.
An other remark but it doesn't affect the final answer, if you use Scanner, you can read a String value using input.next() , this way you don't need to use nextLine which may confuse you if you use nextInt()
import java.io.IOException;

Q: Add field if not exist to document in Mongo Source Doc
{
    "_id" : "12345",
    "LastName" : "Smith",
    "FirstName" : "Fred",
    "ProfileCreated" : NumberLong(1447118831860),
    "DropOut" : false,
}

New Doc
{
    "_id" : "12345",
    "LastName" : "Smith",
    "FirstName" : "Fred",
    "ProfileCreated" : NumberLong(1447118831860),
    "DropOut" : true,
    "LatestConsultation" : false,
}

I have two collections which share a lot of the same document ID's and fields but over time the new documents will have fields added to them and or completely new documents with new ID's will get created.
I think I know how to handle new documents using $setOnInsert and upsert = true but I'm not sure how best to handle the addition of new fields. The behavior I require for documents that exists in both collection matched on _id with new fields is to add the new field to the document without modifying the values of any of the other fields even if they have changed as in the example where the DropOut value has changed. The resulting document I require is.
Result document
{
    "_id" : "12345",
    "LastName" : "Smith",
    "FirstName" : "Fred",
    "ProfileCreated" : NumberLong(1447118831860),
    "DropOut" : false,
    "LatestConsultation" : false,
}

What is the best and most performatic way to achive this? Also if this can somehow be combined into a single statement that also includes the addition of documents that exists in the new collection but not in the source collection that would be amazing :-)
PS. I am using Pymongo so a Pymongo example would be even better but I can translate a mongo shell example.

A: Not sure is this is possible with an atomic update. However, you could string in some mixed operations and tackle this in such a way that you iterate the new collection and for each document in the new collection:

*

*Use the _id field to query the old collection. Use the findOne() method to return a document from the old collection that matches on the _id from the new collection.

*Extend the new doc with the old doc by adding the new fields which do not exist in the old document.

*Update the new collection with this merged document.

The following basic mongo shell example demonstrates the algorithm above:
function merge(from, to) {
    var obj = {};
    if (!from) {
        from = {};
    } else {
        obj = from;
    }
    for (var key in to) {
        if (!from.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
            obj[key] = to[key];
        }
    }
    return obj;
}

db.new_collection.find({}).snapshot().forEach(function(doc){
    var old_doc = db.old_collection.findOne({ "_id": doc._id }),
        merged_doc = merge(old_doc, doc);

    db.new_collection.update(
        { "_id": doc._id },
        { "$set": merged_doc }
    );
});

For dealing with large collections, better leverage your updates using the bulk API which offers better performance and efficient update operations done through
sending the update requests in bulk rather than each update operation for every request (which is slow). The method to use is the bulkWrite() function, which can be applied in the above example as:
function merge(from, to) {
    var obj = {};
    if (!from) {
        from = {};
    } else {
        obj = from;
    }
    for (var key in to) {
        if (!from.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
            obj[key] = to[key];
        }
    }
    return obj;
}

var ops = [];
db.new_collection.find({}).snapshot().forEach(function(doc){
    var old_doc = db.old_collection.findOne({ "_id": doc._id }),
        merged_doc = merge(old_doc, doc);

    ops.push({
        "updateOne": {
            "filter": { "_id": doc._id },
            "update": { "$set": merged_doc }
        }
    });

    if (ops.length === 1000) {
        db.new_collection.bulkWrite(ops);
        ops = [];
    }
});

if (ops.length > 0)  db.new_collection.bulkWrite(ops);

Or for MongoDB 2.6.x and 3.0.x releases use this version of Bulk operations:
var bulk = db.new_collection.initializeUnorderedBulkOp(),
    counter = 0;

db.new_collection.find({}).snapshot().forEach(function(doc){
    var old_doc = db.old_collection.findOne({ "_id": doc._id }),
        merged_doc = merge(old_doc, doc);

    bulk.find({ "_id": doc._id }).updateOne({ "$set": merged_doc });

    if (counter % 1000 === 0) {
        bulk.execute();
        bulk = db.new_collection.initializeUnorderedBulkOp();
    }
});

if (counter % 1000 !== 0 )  bulk.execute();

The Bulk operations API in both cases will help reduce the IO load on the server by sending the requests only once in every 1000 documents in the collection to process.

I've been looking for a potential yen play for the upcoming BOJ statement and I'm liking this one on CAD/JPY. I haven't decided on a particular direction yet, though.
On the pair's 4-hour time frame, a descending triangle pattern can be seen as price made lower highs and found support around the 77.00 major psychological mark. The pair is currently testing this support area, still deciding whether to go for a bounce or a break.
As Forex Gump mentioned in his central bank events preview, the BOJ might dole out another batch of easing measures such as rate cuts or additional bond purchases. If so, the yen could lose a lot of ground against its peers, but the lack of action or a disappointing amount of stimulus could still spark a yen rally.
I haven't set any actual entry orders yet since I plan on waiting for the dust to settle after the announcement before hopping in. Still, I'll be ready to hop in a small position if price makes a strong multi-hundred-pip one-way move.
As for the Loonie, expectations for the OPEC meeting in Algiers could also mean strong moves for the oil-related currency. So far, a number of energy ministers have been buzzing about the possibility of an output freeze but they haven't really made anything official yet.
If I'm able to catch some pips off this one, I plan on closing ahead of the FOMC statement in today's U.S. session, knowing that risk sentiment could flip right around that time. For now, I'm looking at a possible short below the 76.00 handle or a long past 78.00, probably aiming for around 500 pips, which is the same height as the chart pattern.


Hidden logos within websites, accidental adverts going live and erm… keyrings. The leaky boat of things getting spoiled before E3 sure is amusing this year.
The latest in spoilers comes from Steam, which makes a change from Xbox.com accidentally revealing things early, with the below advert being served for a short while to those that logged into the steam store. The advert didn't reveal much, with no game page behind the link. Other than a moody sky and the same lead character, only the name is confirmed as being Just Cause 4 and with the advert appearing on Steam, a level of assumption can be made that this will release simultaneously across platforms.

Man detained after entering couple's Mountain…
Man detained after entering couple's Mountain View home, locking himself in bedroom
Couple was evacuated by police and firefighters
By Summer Lin | slin@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: December 1, 2021 at 12:11 p.m. | UPDATED: December 2, 2021 at 4:08 a.m.
MOUNTAIN VIEW — A man was detained after entering a couple's home and locking himself in a bedroom, touching off a nearly four-hour standoff with police.
The couple was safely evacuated from their home during the early stages of the standoff, with police tweeting a photo of a woman who appeared to be descending a ladder from an upper floor.
Police negotiators and Santa Clara County health professionals arrived at the scene to try to resolve the situation and coax the man out of the bedroom.
The man was "safely detained," police tweeted at 12:35 p.m. A photo showed the man, who was wearing a pink hoodie that obscured his face, flanked by officers.
The couple who live on the 500 block of Front Lane called police after discovering an "unknown man" in their kitchen and going into their bedroom and locking the door, authorities said on Twitter. The incident was initially reported a residential burglary.
Police officers responded to the report at about 8:45 a.m. and along with Mountain View firefighters, helped evacuate the couple from the house, officials said.
Our sincere thanks to our partners with MVFD for helping to safely evacuate the couple from the home this morning on Front Lane.

San Jose: Bicyclist dies from injuries in 2021 crash


A sit, stand and move approach to working is, in our opinion and many others, the healthiest and most productive way for people who have desk based jobs, to work! Don't take our word for it see for yourself, we've included links to lots of studies and research at the bottom of this post.
The benefits of movement within the workplace are being highlighted on a regular basis, BBC news covered it last week! Sitting for long periods is bad for you, on so many levels! Standing for short periods throughout the day is better for your back and posture, and it's easier to move and incorporate exercise from standing than ever it is from a sitting position. When standing you're far more aware of your posture and it's easier to make sure you're breathing properly, using your whole diaphragm, when you're not hunched over a desk.
You may already stand while making important phone calls where you need to be completely focused and on top of your game, it's amazing how much more authoritative you sound and feel when standing and talking.

THE QUIZ: Headaches
Post author By Douglas Berger
Scientific American, March 30, 2017
http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/psychopharmacology/quiz-headaches/page/0/2
Dr. King, regarding acupuncture, perhaps you can comment on this article:
Research Casts Doubt on the Value of Acupuncture, Scientific studies show that the procedure is full of holes, Scientific American, August 2016
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/research-casts-doubt-on-the-value-of-acupuncture/
The article makes these statements below, and it seems to me that because of the subjective nature of endpoints used in any clinical trial of pain or migraine treatment, whether acute or prophylactic treatment, that it seems a bit too early to make definitive conclusions about acupuncture worthy of a "True" or "False" in a quiz because there is no way to filter out bias of hope or expectation and/or researcher/treater bias effects on the subject even with masked raters as they only record the report of the patient:
1. effects of acupuncture are the same whether needles are placed along the meridians or at random locations around the body.
2. acupuncture studies are extremely difficult to double-blind—a methodological approach in which neither the researchers nor patients know who is receiving the treatment under investigation and who is receiving the placebo or sham.
3. researchers know which patients receive or do not receive real acupuncture, likely biasing the results.

Shermer states that a copy of your memories is no different than your twin but twins never had the same memories to begin with. If one's genes and connectomes could be exactly copied and functional then there would be two of "you", both exactly the same at the moment of copy, the next instant on diverging biological life courses. While the engineering hurdle is enormous, it is not physically impossible.

Are Students Ready?
Submitted by CCRS Center on Wed, 07/09/2014 - 4:54pm
The Policy Analysis for California Education hosted a seminar titled "Ready for College? The College Readiness Indicator System" on Friday, May 16, 2014. This seminar addressed the implementation of the College Readiness Indicator System (CRIS) and CRIS Resource Series, which includes information on the six essential elements of CRIS implementation and research-based indicators. Jorge Ruiz de Velasco and Kara Dukakis of the John W. Gardner Center at Stanford University presented findings from the CRIS initiative piloted in five urban school districts (New York, Dallas, San Jose, Pittsburg and Philadelphia) and also discussed how schools, districts and state agencies can use an indicator system focused on college readiness to fulfill state and federal mandates.
Ruiz kicked off the seminar by describing the challenging environment that schools and districts are working in and how CRIS's assessment tools and frameworks aim to help them take on this challenge. Ruiz elaborated on how states and districts are tasked with the challenge of complying with state and federal policies and implementing accountability systems, while many are simultaneously tackling the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). In order to help support schools and districts with this undertaking, Ruiz explained the need for a deliberate approach that includes an array of research-based indicators; supports that are linked to the indicators; and attention to change at student, school, and district levels. He believed that CRIS provides such an approach, as it allows districts to take on a critical role in creating strong supports and community partners to mobilize a network to increase college readiness and equitable access to deeper learning opportunities.
Dukakis walked through the CRIS initiative, which was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and its implementation over the past three years in partnership with the University of Chicago and Brown University. She described CRIS as a system of indicators. This system measures dimensions of college readiness (college preparedness, knowledge of college, and academic tenacity); acts as an early warning system as it allows students in need of additional support to be quickly identified; and creates a cycle of inquiry to link the selected indicators with supports and actions at the individual (student), setting (school and classroom), and system level (district and partners). Dukakis then elaborated on the CRIS Framework, which illuminates how these components—three dimensions, three levels, and the cycle of inquiry—are interwoven within the policy context, and have the outcome of college readiness and ideally college completion.
A number of lessons learned from the implementation of the initiative in the five districts were also addressed. One essential element noted by Dukakis was the need for engaged leadership, so that they can champion the effort for college readiness, create buy-in and a common understanding of goals from stakeholders, and create a data driven culture. Building a data infrastructure is also key, as it helps establish the technical architecture, organizational routines throughout the school and district, and timelines and formats that support the needs of stakeholders (e.g. one district developed a platform for students, parents and teachers to track student progress towards graduation and college readiness). Strengthening adult capacity around data was also highlighted. Dukakis mentioned the value of investing in capacity to collect and use data, protect time for collaboration in data teams, creating a shared understanding of what it means to be college ready, and ensuring that teachers, and parents have access to college knowledge. Collecting indicators with supports to promote college readiness was also critical, and was especially useful when school and district staff from diverse roles and locations worked together, or when inquiry groups convened regularly at school and district levels (e.g. one district had regular meetings between Executive Directors of Strategic Feeder Patterns and principals to review school data on academic indicators). Lastly, Dukakis noted the importance of developing partnerships with community institutes and higher education. She described how this allows for greater leveraging of resources outside the K-12 system, the development of partnerships from data sharing, and helps with raising community awareness and coordinating with community-based organizations.
Finally, the future of the implementation of CRIS was discussed. Dukakis shared a number of challenges that schools and districts will need to learn to navigate. Firstly, tracking and evaluating supports and the cycle of inquiry across levels can be tedious and complicated processes that takes time to do well. Additionally, it can be difficult to create good communication between districts and schools, so that they are aware of each other's needs, capacity and the accessibility of certain data. However, with these challenges come significant opportunities. Dukakis highlighted how CRIS provides schools and districts implementing the CCSS with a resource that helps track their progress and acts as a supplement, as it provides data on dimensions like college knowledge and academic tenacity. CRIS can also build on state data systems, as it provides data on indicators predicting college readiness and completion. Furthermore, the seven CORE districts and Local Control and Accountability Plans will be looking into accountability systems and indicators such as school climate and culture and social and emotional learning, which CRIS can provide a useful resource for. As states and districts work to satisfy college readiness mandates and advance equitable access to deeper learning opportunities, it appears CRIS's assessment tools and frameworks may be useful tools to help raise all boats.

REPORT ADDRESSES ENTERPRISE LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES
"New research released today by the Centre for Workplace Leadership shows that disruptive technologies and innovation will largely depend on the capability of our leadership and employee engagement levels in order to sustain and grow our competitiveness," Australian Industry Group Chief Executive, Innes Willox, said today.
"This important new management research, The Study of Australian Leadership, captures data from over 8000 respondents and provides much-needed new information on the key issues for leaders and managers. It looks at the ability of leaders to respond to emerging challenges in workplace environments facing disruption from new technologies and other forces. It also examines how differences in business performance levels reflect individual leaders' capabilities and practices.
"The research suggests that there is plenty of room for improvement amongst Australian organisations. It provides further evidence to support the barriers to effective leadership identified in Ai Group's 2015 policy paper, Addressing Enterprise Leadership in Australia. Detailed in the Paper, these barriers include:
Existing levels of leadership capability;
Organisational cultures focussing on the short term rather than changes to support new ways of working, and the development of an organisation's people; and
Limited consideration in current individual leadership development frameworks of the collective leadership capability needed to meet an organisation's business goals.
"This new research further strengthens the need to address this important policy area. Ai Group is working with all sectors to address the above barriers to ensure Australian businesses have the strategies they need to build leadership capability and increase global competitiveness," Mr Willox said.

New Century Version (NCV)
New Century Version
Jethro Visits Moses
18 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, was the priest of Midian. He heard about everything that God had done for Moses and his people, the Israelites, and how the Lord had led the Israelites out of Egypt. 2 Now Moses had sent his wife Zipporah to Jethro, his father-in-law, 3 along with his two sons. The first son was named Gershom,[a] because when he was born, Moses said, "I am a stranger in a foreign country." 4 The other son was named Eliezer,[b] because when he was born, Moses said, "The God of my father is my help. He saved me from the king of Egypt."
5 So Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Moses' wife and his two sons and went to Moses. He was camped in the desert near the mountain of God. 6 Jethro had sent a message ahead to Moses that said, "I, Jethro, your father-in-law, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons."
7 So Moses went out to meet his father-in-law and bowed down and kissed him. After the two men asked about each other's health, they went into Moses' tent. 8 Moses told his father-in-law everything the Lord had done to the king and the Egyptians to help Israel. He told about all the problems they had faced along the way and how the Lord had saved them.
9 Jethro was very happy to hear all the good things the Lord had done for Israel when he had saved them from the Egyptians. 10 He said, "Praise the Lord. He has saved you from the Egyptians and their king, and he has saved the people from the power of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know the Lord is greater than all gods, because he did this to those who looked down on Israel." 12 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, gave a whole burnt offering and other sacrifices to God. Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to Moses' father-in-law to eat the holy meal together before God.
13 The next day Moses solved disagreements among the people, and the people stood around him from morning until night. 14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he asked, "What is all this you are doing for the people? Why are you the only one to solve disagreements? All the people are standing around you from morning until night!"
15 Then Moses said to his father-in-law, "It is because the people come to me for God's help in solving their disagreements. 16 When people have a disagreement, they come to me, and I decide who is right. I tell them God's laws and teachings."
17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "You are not doing this right. 18 You and the people who come to you will get too tired. This is too much work for you; you can't do it by yourself. 19 Now listen to me, and I will give you some advice. I want God to be with you. You must speak to God for the people and tell him about their disagreements. 20 Warn them about the laws and teachings, and teach them the right way to live and what they should do. 21 But choose some capable men from among the people—men who respect God, who can be trusted, and who will not change their decisions for money. Make these men officers over the people, to rule over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. 22 Let these officers solve the disagreements among the people all the time. They can bring the hard cases to you, but they can decide the simple cases themselves. That will make it easier for you, because they will share the work with you. 23 If you do this as God commands you, then you will be able to do your job, and all the people will go home with their disagreements solved."
24 So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. 25 He chose capable men from all the Israelites and made them leaders over the people; they were officers over groups of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. 26 These officers solved disagreements among the people all the time. They brought the hard cases to Moses, but they decided the simple cases themselves.
27 So Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro went back to his own home.
18:3 Gershom This name sounds like the Hebrew word for "a stranger there."
18:4 Eliezer This name sounds like the Hebrew words "My God is my help."

Local doctors expand Sneeze Allergy & Cough, Practice changes name, adds locations
By KIM ESTES, Four Points News
Greater Austin Allergy, Asthma & Immunology is now Sneeze Allergy & Cough Centers, and the local doctor-owners have expanded the practice beyond Austin to other Texas cities and to California.
Dr. Henry Legere III, of Long Canyon, founded the practice five years ago and recently changed its name because it has expanded beyond its Austin locations including River Place, Westlake, Oak Hill, and its newest office in Bee Cave at the Hill Country Galleria, to San Marcos and San Antonio and an office in Los Angeles.
There are now 14 Sneeze Centers served by 12 allergists, one nurse practitioner and two physician assistants. Patients of all ages are welcome. "The youngest patient I've seen was four-months-old and the oldest was 93," said Dr. Eric Schultz.
Seasonal allergies are the most common complaint at the local clinic located in the Arise Medical Tower at 6611 River Place Blvd., Suite 305.
Services at Sneeze Centers include testing and treatment. Most testing is now needle-free. On the treatment side, the list is long and includes help for allergies to foods, insects, medications (including chemotherapy), latex, and cosmetics as well as relief for hives, hay fever, asthma, dermatitis and sinusitis.
"The telltale sign of an allergic reaction is something that happens outside the normal, an abrupt change such as you eat something and suddenly get a rash or feel swelling in your throat," said Dr. Ronald Cox.
"There are a lot of (treatment) options so people don't have to suffer," he added. "The leading cause of lost work time and lost school days in America is allergies."
Dr. Henry Legere III
In 2010, Legere started Greater Austin Allergy and Immunology with one location in Westlake. He grew up in the Austin and San Antonio areas and returned after 20 years of training and education.
He received his MD from Columbia University and completed his fellowship at Harvard Medical School. After his fellowship, Legere became a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and served as a staff physician at Brigham & Women's Hospital and MIT Medical in Cambridge.
Legere's wife, Dr. Claudia Legere, worked as a family practice physician at Steiner Ranch Primary Care for five years before starting her own business, Door to Door Med Spa, last summer.
The Legeres and their two daughters have lived in Long Canyon since 2009. Prior to moving to Austin, they lived in Boston.
Dr. Ronald Cox
Cox moved to Austin from Dayton, Ohio in 2009. He was in private practice, but had often visited friends here before deciding to relocate to the warmer, Texas climate and, ultimately, join Legere's practice.
He lives in Steiner Ranch with his wife, Suz, and their 18-year-old daughter, Carly, a senior at Vandegrift High School. The couple also has a 21-year-old daughter, Cody, and a 20-year-old son, Connor. Both are enrolled at Texas Christian University.
Cox earned his medical degree at the University of Kansas Medical School, and completed an internship in general surgery and a residency in internal medicine at Mt. Carmel Medical Center in Ohio. He is board certified in Allergy and Immunology and Internal Medicine.
Dr. Eric Schultz
In a move to join his friend Legere, Schultz came to Austin from Orange, Calif. in 2010, where he was on staff at Children's Hospital of Orange County and a professor in the pediatric department of the University of California, Irvine.
He also lives in Steiner Ranch with his wife, Domenica, and their daughter, 10-year-old Sophia, and son, 8-year-old Baelen, both students at River Ridge Elementary School. Their 5-year-old son, Asher, is a student at School of the Hills.
He earned a doctor of osteopathic medicine from Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, Calif. as well as a master's in public health from California State University, San Diego. He completed a pediatric residency at the University of California, Irvine, and a neonatal-perinatal intensive care fellowship at Duke University. He is board certified in both neonatal/perinatal intensive care and pediatrics.
"The neonatal background helps bridge the gap between understanding the development of lung disease (especially asthma) as it progresses from infants to children to adults," Schultz said.

DZone > Java Zone > Oracle Adds New Exhibit to Java Technology Museum
Oracle Adds New Exhibit to Java Technology Museum
Apr. 22, 09 · Java Zone · Interview
Last year, Oracle acquired BEA Systems, the hottest company in enterprise Java…until around 2001.Today, they announced the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, the architects of the infrastructure of the dot com era. Remember the "dot in dot com"?
Both companies represent the history of enterprise Java, and are far less important to the future.
Larry Ellison states that "Java is the single most important software we've ever acquired." Ellison is right about the importance of Java: Java is the world's #1 programming language and the dominant choice of the enterprise. But the question is exactly what has Oracle acquired? There is no purpose to be served by Oracle trying to milk the Java language itself for profit–and, in any case, it's now open enough to make that impossible. (Open sourcing Java did turn out to matter. A lot.) And it is a long time since Sun controlled enterprise Java in a meaningful way.
While the FAQ on the deal states that "Oracle can now ensure continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community," in reality, innovation around the Java platform has long been driven by developers, through open source—not mega vendors. Community innovation has transformed productivity and propelled enterprise Java out of the stone age of Sun-architected J2EE.
Oracle's business strategy may be smart—acquiring distressed vendors and milking their revenue stream while cutting costs is certainly helping them post good numbers. But it's not a strategy about innovation.
Of course, this isn't just about Java. This deal gives Oracle a shot at important elements it has lacked: a credible open source story and a cloud strategy. How Oracle deals with the former element is key. With MySQL, Oracle has the ability to prove it is serious about open source. Thus far, Oracle has neither enjoyed nor seemed to seek open source success, even as open source becomes more and more important. (Unbreakable Linux was quickly recognized by the market as a clumsy attempt to capitalize on the open source efforts of others.) Serious commitment to MySQL could change this. However, it also potentially competes with Oracle's flagship database product. The same issue applies to GlassFish and WebLogic.
Additionally, does Oracle really want to get into the hardware business, as the FAQ implies–at time when virtualization is threatening server sales? Is Oracle committed to trying to maintain portability between application servers, now it has control of the JCP? We'll have to wait for many months for the answers to these questions, especially as the deal won't close until summer.
But this uncertainty doesn't impact enterprise Java, whose future lies elsewhere. We agree with Oracle that enterprise Java has a big future. In fact, we are convinced we can help take it to the next level of productivity. But Oracle does not own that future. One of the great strengths of Java is its developer and open source community. This is something that cannot be bought in the same way as a PeopleSoft or WebLogic application server business.

Remember when everyone was very mean to Gareth Southgate in a Pizza Hut advert?
Thomas Smith Jul 11, 2018 12:55 pm BST
There are few sins that an Englishman can commit bigger than missing a penalty. If history has taught us anything, failing to stick it in from 12 yards can turn you from hero to zero in a second. It's something that Gareth Southgate knows all too well.
The England manager is currently ushering football home, with England poised to take on Croatia in the World Cup semi-final tomorrow evening – the first the men's team has reached in 28 years. Not just content with being the most delicious snack, Southgate is the glue holding the team together. His devious set pieces have been one of the most important parts of this team's success – and having been there and done that, is no doubt having a great impact on the players. Hell, he could be a Sir by next week if things go the way the are. But it wasn't always like this.
NME's World Cup Fever Playlist
A playlist featuring New Order, Baddiel, Skinner & Lightning Seeds, A Tribe Called Quest, and others
At Euro '96 – when the nation set up the spare bedroom for football to visit for three weeks – it wasn't all so rosy for our Gareth. In England's soul-crushing penalty defeat against Germany, Southgate's limp penalty was saved, and sent the team crashing out of the tournament. "I've learnt a million things from the day and the years that have followed it," Southgate said last week. "The biggest thing being that when something goes wrong in your life, it doesn't finish you."
Finish him, it didn't. Now he's the nation's darling – but it took a bit of work to get there. Fixing his image took a bit of hard work, mind. Just months after the miss, Southgate featured in a TV advert for Pizza Hut that poked fun at the penalty calamity. It wasn't that mean-spirited, mind. Stewart Pearce and Chris Waddle – who both missed crucial penalties for England in the 1990 World Cup semi-final defeat to Germany – were on hand for a bit of cathartic ribbing.
It's cheesier than the deep-pan pizza they covet – but it showed a human side to players who had fluffed it a the biggest possible moment. In hindsight, Southgate told football mag Four Four Two that "I wish I hadn't done it", and implored Ashley Young and Ashley Cole to not do a similar stunt after England's penalty defeat to Italy in Euro 2012.
It's all water under the bridge now though. England bossed Colombia in a confident and dramatic penalty shoot out in this year's World Cup, in part due to Southgate's crucial preparation and belief. He's absolved himself of his sins. Next 12-inch Meat Feast is on us, pal.

British consumers complicit in forty-year 'healthy eating' failure, new study suggests
'Healthy eating' campaigns have largely failed in Britain for the last four decades because consumers have adapted confusing advice, and incorporated fast and convenience foods into self-defined 'balanced' lifestyles, a new study argues.
These records reveal all kinds of people ... leaning towards convenience foods while still trying to define their lifestyles as healthy
Katrina-Louise Moseley
Supermarkets and food manufacturers have been excessively blamed for Britain's unhealthy eating habits since the 1980s, according to Cambridge historian Dr Katrina-Louise Moseley.
In an article published in Contemporary British History, Moseley argues that far from being passive victims of manipulation in this period, consumers were 'complicit' in long-term behavioural shifts, proactively selecting, rejecting and sweetening advice from the government, the food industry and the media to fit their circumstances and to satisfy their appetites.
Rather than seeking to cast blame, Moseley asserts that we should think more carefully about how people rationalise their eating behaviours and interpret advice about food. Speaking ahead of a public event entitled 'Food on the Move' (9 July 2021), Moseley added that this is particularly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a dramatic impact on eating behaviours.
"Food is a powerful coping mechanism in times of emotional distress, so it isn't surprising that people have been buying extra packets of their favourite snack or eating more takeaways. I'm interested in the psychology of consumption and getting away from moralising language around food, which can be damaging", Moseley said. As part of the event, hosted by the University of Warwick, Moseley invites readers to complete an anonymous survey (closes 9 July 2021) to reflect on how their own food practices have changed during the pandemic.
In her article, Moseley contrasts the success of Britain's anti-smoking campaign, which transformed attitudes to tobacco in the 1960s and 70s, with the failure of the 'healthy eating' campaign to counteract rising levels of obesity from the late 1980s onwards.
Moseley said: "The state faced a really difficult task. 'Don't smoke' was a clear-cut message but you can't tell people not to eat. Food can't be rejected outright, it has to remain a part of everyday life, and that makes it so much more complicated. We're still really struggling with this today."
The historian makes fresh use of consumer interviews and surveys conducted in England and Wales in the 1980s and 90s. These include a Mass Observation directive questionnaire on 'Food and Drink' completed in 1982; interviews and participant observations gathered from 1992–96 in response to the 1992 Health of the Nation report; and a collection of life history interviews undertaken with a sample of older people in 2017–18.
Moseley argues that a major problem facing Britain's 'healthy eating' campaign has been its reliance, often unavoidable, on malleable language. Words like 'balance' and 'moderation' left themselves open to subjective interpretation. Moseley said: "These records reveal all kinds of people, not just the less affluent, leaning towards convenience foods while still trying to define their lifestyles as healthy."
Looking at the 1982 questionnaire records, Moseley found that attitudes to convenience foods were 'shot through with contradictions'. Speaking for herself and her husband, one female respondent claimed, "neither of us can bear ready-made frozen dinners" – but she made "an exception for certain things from Marks & Spencer – their frozen cod in parsley sauce is palatable and their cauliflower cheese makes me a quick solo meal if Neil is out for the evening."
Moseley said: "For health enthusiasts and cynics alike, official information about food didn't always feel correct. Consumers continued to assert that foods had different effects on different individuals, that one could be overweight whilst leading a healthy lifestyle, and that – in the midst of a dizzying array of information, self-evaluation was key."
The study describes how supermarkets and food manufacturers seized on the idea of 'healthy eating' in the 1980s in response to new nutritional guidelines being issued. In 1984, Heinz began a 25-year-programme to reduce salt and sugar in its products; and in 1986 Mars produced a pamphlet entitled 'Confectionary in a Healthy Diet'. Meanwhile Tesco and Sainsbury's turned their attention to nutritional labelling.
Moseley said: "We underestimate what a pivotal role the convenience foods sector played in producing and disseminating knowledge about 'healthy eating' in this period. Sometimes, as with Findus' calorie-controlled ready meals, it was the food industry rather than politicians or doctors that gave people usable, workable public health messages. But increasingly people came to view big food companies, government and public health experts as one and the same: a mysterious force manipulating consumer behaviour."
Testimonies collected in the 1980s and 90s emphasise that new jargon baffled many consumers. Puzzling over the term 'polyunsaturated margarine', one respondent to the 1980s questionnaire said: "I understand that poly means many and unsaturated means not chock full of something, so what is margarine poly unsaturated with or not with?" In 1985, a market research study of nearly 1,500 consumers in England and Wales found that 43% were uncertain whether saturated or polyunsaturated fat was better for them.
Moseley said: "Terms like 'E-numbers' and 'saturated fats' entered public discourse but that didn't mean that everyone understood or accepted health advice, let alone changed their behaviours. Naturally, people embraced foods that made their lives easier and their mealtimes tastier, often using the language of 'moderation' to justify the consumption of highly processed, time-saving foods."
The study examines the rise of scepticism as consumers felt overloaded with confusing, contradictory and unreliable 'healthy eating' messages. The 1992–96 interviews reveal that consumers became increasingly committed to using their 'common sense' when thinking about food. Moseley said: "Consumers didn't respond as authorities hoped they would, but they weren't irrational or lacking in judgement. People subscribed to their own, highly personalized logics."
One 1992–96 interviewee said: "some days you just want mashed potatoes and I'm not going to feel bad about that because with the rest of my life… it's balanced'." Interviewees also sought reassurance from their childhood eating habits or those of older relatives, saying things like: "Nan lived to a good old age" or "it didn't seem to do us much harm at the time".
Testimonies from the 1990s also reveal the emergence of a new language linking food and feeling. One woman defined healthy eating as "that difference between… getting a good feeling from what you eat and getting this sort of not very nice feeling". "Cheese especially" made another young woman feel "so ugh – you know it makes me feel so fat and just weighs me down". She added that she felt "much healthier and brighter" if she avoided it.
Moseley said: "The idea that different foods might cause individuals to feel a certain way in their bodies prefigured a major shift towards self-diagnosed food intolerances in the early twenty-first century."
The study accepts that some positive health trends did come about in the late 20th century but points out that consumers favoured easier quick-fixes like switching to brown bread and semi-skimmed milk, over sweeping dietary transformations.
Moseley said: "Medical researchers remain very worried about public scepticism, but their studies tend to lack historical context. Thinking about the history of trust and cynicism alongside developments in public health can help us understand and reconstruct the bigger picture."
Reflecting on Britain's food culture today, Moseley points out that economic, social and geographic constraints on 'healthy' choices lack public visibility: factors like deprivation, time poverty, and mental illness delimit the choices that consumers feel able to make. She said: "Too often, health education campaigns promote 'informed' decision making around food, as if social and economic disparities do not exist. Food has long been a site of inequality in Britain, and unfortunately it remains so today."
