'Trump's New York' on a ferry ride
Posted on April 14, 2016 by Kate Hovan
By KATIE HOVAN
Philip Rucker of The Washington Post published an article Wednesday depicting Donald Trump's New York supporters that were seated on a New York ferry during the evening rush hour to Staten Island.
Rucker describes several of the passengers through their jobs, appearance and background and he even juxtaposes a construction worker, a Hungarian immigrant, and a fashion model who all support the Republican candidate. The article is meant to be colorful and intimate, while shedding light on the different types of Trump followers and their reasons for supporting him.
Although it's pleasing to read and I gained a greater perspective on the different types of people who support Trump and their reasons for doing so, I found that Rucker's reporting itself is a bit too rightward leaning for my taste.
I feel that it's important to be much more careful about how writers portray such a large group of people with so many different views. A Staten Island ferry ride may give a glimpse at Trump supporters, but it doesn't speak for everyone.
I'll admit that Rucker makes several attempts to express the voices of opposing New Yorkers, but the piece projects Staten Island, and New York, as a predominantly Republican area. The title itself gives the impression that most New York and Staten Island residents support Trump, and after reading the article, that's is the idea that I was left with.
For me, it all boils down to perception. If I finish reading a piece and am left with a single idea about a large group of people, I consider it to be too predisposed.
I'm sure that my criticism is too harsh, given the fact that a writer can't possibly listen to the individual opinions of all 8.4 million New York City residents, but I'd like to believe that there is a lot more diversity in opinion than those few people on the ferry who believe Donald Trump is representative of the typical New Yorker.

CNN explains the Panama Papers
Posted on April 6, 2016 by Kate Hovan
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) leaked several documents Sunday citing illegal activity of an offshore Panamanian law firm called Mossack Fonseca. The papers are being referred to as the "Panama Papers" and allegedly exposes a tax haven used by some of the world's wealthiest and most well-known individuals
Several current and former public officials have come under fire following the leak after the papers exposed their ties to the firm. Russian President Vladimir Putin and the prime minister of Iceland are two political leaders involved in the scandal.
The firm itself quickly responded to the papers shortly after their release, noting that the information is "inaccurate."
While the investigation is still ongoing, CNN News Desk editor Jethro Mullen published "The Panama Papers: 7 things to know" to the site on Monday.
Over the years, I've seen several crash-course articles similar to Mullen's on the CNN website and, at first, these types of articles struck me as unprofessional. The titles sound similar to articles posted on blogs or news and entertainment sites like Buzzfeed. Over time, however, I learned to appreciate this type of reporting.
Whenever I'm struggling to understand the details of a complex news story, I tend to look for articles similar to Mullen's to break down the information piece by piece.
The average American does not have an extensive background in every subject that makes news. Breaking down the background of a story and its general information is a great way to help people understand a variety of important topics.
Though these stories may defy the standard inverted pyramid formula of news writing, I find them to be the most effective way to convey multifaceted stories to the general public. In retrospect, I probably would not have been able to right the first portion of this article without Mullen's reporting.

Father tracks illegal immigrant accidents
Posted on March 31, 2016 by Kate Hovan
Fox News published an online article on Wednesday about a man who's making it his mission to calculate deaths caused by illegal immigrant drivers after an unlicensed Honduran immigrant killed his son in 2010.
Since the accident, Don Rosenberg claims to have calculated and estimated that illegal immigrants are responsible for half of the fatalities in accidents involving unlicensed drivers. He also started a website for his findings and regularly posts petitions to the site.
Journalist Hollie McKay, who wrote the article, also added a story about a 32-year-old police officer who was killed by an illegal, unlicensed immigrant in 2014.
Fox is the only news network to do a follow-up on these stories, and it is likely because it aligns with the network's political stance.
Moreover, it's difficult for me to tell which facts within the article are confirmed and which are mere guesses. McKay uses vague phrases like "critics say," but she never actually identifies said critics, which makes the argument less convincing as a reader.
I am aware that Fox News is known for its conservative agenda and consumers should expect that, but I also think it's important for the journalists of any network to not make that agenda so extremely obvious.
Journalism, at its core, is about reporting the issues in order to inform people, and being unbiased in that reporting is imperative for maintaining credibility.
However, I think these basic standards should trickle down into all parts of a journalist's job. Balance should not only be present in the end products like articles and television segments, but it should also be a factor in choosing what to report in the first place.
Unfortunately, bias is inevitable with certain networks, but it's important for those networks to, at the very least, make their political affiliations a bit subtler.

Journalist denounces Obama's visit
This week, President Obama made a monumental trip to Havana, Cuba, a sign that the diplomatic relation between the U.S. and Cuba is gradually stabilizing.
Obama is the first sitting president to visit Cuba in almost 90 years, according to The Miami Herald. Officials have also said Obama plans to be very candid with Cuban president Raúl Castro about his hopes for the future of the Cuban people.
In a further effort to improve relations, the Tampa Bay Rays also took the field alongside Cuban baseball players in an exhibition game on Tuesday. Cuban baseball players will now have the opportunity to continue their careers with the MLB.
Unfortunately, many Cubans and Cuban-Americans have anything but positive feelings toward the baseball exhibition and Obama's historic visit, especially within the Miami and South Florida area.
In a beautifully penned open column in The Miami Herald, sportswriter Dan Le Batard, who is of Cuban descent and a UM School of Communication alum, shed some light on the background of the political situation that is unfolding.
"Obama and Jeter and ESPN head toward communism like it is another cruise port, so many symbols of Americana descending on a rotting island stuck in the 1950s, and it doesn't feel quite right back in Miami, like watching a funeral morph into a party," he writes. "The history of my own people feels like it is either being ignored or trampled here, and I'm not quite sure which of those feels worse," Le Batard wrote.
Le Batard speaks on behalf of countless Cubans with his article as he explains just how strange it feels to watch the U.S. praise small actions that are doing so little to compensate for Cuban injustice.
"Fidel Castro outlived my grandparents. His regime continues to haunt my old-exile parents. My pain might be borrowed. But, damn, as that sting returns to my eyes, I can assure you that it is real," he continued.
While President Obama's visit to Cuba is an historic one, I must side with Le Batard in this battle of responsible reporting.
Prior to reading Le Batard's article, I had not understood the extent of the political turmoil that uprooted so many Cuban citizens. He provides his family history and the challenges they themselves experienced in the face of communism, an unlikely opinion with slim chances of survival amidst the conventional news stories.
With this new progress in the U.S.-Cuba relation, it's even more important for the mainstream media to educate people on the history of the situation and the major changes that still need to be made in Cuba before any justified celebrations can take place.

Humans of NY founder criticizes Trump
Brandon Stanton, a photojournalist and blogger, is the brain behind the increasingly popular blog and book "Humans of New York" (HONY), which chronicles stories of ordinary passersby in New York City.
Stanton will post daily photos of the people he meets on the street along with a direct quote or short story, giving people a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people.
His work isn't limited to New York City, though.
Stanton also occasionally photographs and posts stories from people he meets on international excursions, including people in places like the Middle East.
On Monday, however, the HONY founder posted something a little different online.
In an open editorial to Donald Trump, Stanton stated: "I realize now that there is no correct time to oppose violence and prejudice. The time is always now."
Stanton continued, "Because along with millions of Americans, I've come to realize that opposing you is no longer a political decision. It is a moral one."
Stanton also referenced some of Trump's most appalling comments regarding race and refugees. Stanton, referring to himself as a journalist whom has "conducted extensive interviews" with people from around the world, added: "I can confirm — the hateful one is you."
While some may argue the HONY founder isn't your typical journalist, he still claims to adhere to journalism's ethical code, stating in the editorial that he refrains from being too "political."
In this case, as unusual as it may seem, I commend him for taking a moment from his work to be "political."
This year's presidential race seems to have turned uncharacteristically hostile, and it's alarming to think that the future of our country has become a form of twisted entertainment.
But the so-called entertainment reaches a point where it isn't funny anymore. The future of the United States shouldn't be taken lightly.
In my honest opinion, Stanton deserves the utmost praise for his editorial. Without powerful, well-known voices to speak out on behalf of the violent and unethical situation that is unfolding, what will the United States become?
After all, it's hypocritical to promote anti-bullying in schools if it's happening on the federal level every day.

Andrews testifies in stalker, hotel lawsuit
Posted on March 3, 2016 by Kate Hovan
Earlier this week, Fox sportscaster Erin Andrews finished testifying in a $75 million lawsuit against a stalker and the owner of a Nashville Marriott hotel.
Andrews claims that the hotel allowed a stalker to occupy the room next to hers in 2008. The stalker, Michael David Barrett, recorded nude footage of Andrews through a peephole and leaked the videos onto the Internet. Barrett has since served time in prison for his crime.
Andrews believes both the hotel and her stalker are responsible for emotional damage.
In her testimony, Andrews also alleged that ESPN, her employer at the time, refused to let her continue reporting on college football until she spoke publicly about the matter. Andrews said that the network wanted her to clarify whether or not the incident had been a publicity stunt.
In a field like journalism, where the "truth" is of the utmost importance, Andrews' situation begs the question: when is human compassion more important than an accurate story?
If you ask me, ESPN undeniably overstepped its boundaries by asking a woman who was a victim of sexual exploitation to relive the incident on national television.
Whether or not it had been a publicity stunt, ESPN should have treated the statements of a fellow employee with the highest respect and consideration. Forcing any person, male or female, to speak about such a sensitive subject is a tasteless invasion of privacy.
I truly hope that Andrews is exaggerating the way ESPN addressed the situation. It would be a shame to learn that such a respected sports news network lacked the basic human compassion necessary in dealing with sexual exploitation.
As a note for other networks in the future: sometimes "getting the story" just isn't worth the damage to a person's mental and emotional health. Always be cautious.

Retired Army horses seeking a home
Posted on February 24, 2016 by Kate Hovan
The Miami Herald featured an article on Sunday to create awareness about free, retired Army horses that are seeking new homes.
The animals, 15-year-old Kennedy and 11-year-old Quincy, both served tours as caisson horses in the Army's Old Guard at the Arlington National Cemetery.
Caisson horses are responsible for the pulling coffins of military officials who were killed in action to their burial sites. As one of the most distinctive ceremonies in the military, it requires extraordinary skill and accuracy from the horses.
Pfc. Kris Loudner, a cassion rider who knows the horses well, said, "I think one of the reasons to own a horse like Quincy or Kennedy is to have a piece in this mission. In a way, you're tending to a horse that has honored America's service members."
In the "News" section of the Miami Herald website, the article about Kennedy and Quincy was one of the first trending articles, and it stood out from the usual political reporting and crime-related articles.
Quite frankly, I have to commend The Miami Herald for featuring a story about the horses because, as a reader, it's refreshing to hear positive, lighthearted news when most information that is deemed newsworthy centers on something negative.
The horses may not be important to very many people in the South Florida area, but this story is uplifting compared to the content most readers consume on daily basis. It's a beautiful, feel-good article that is creating awareness along the way.

Pope Francis, Trump battle over faith
On Thursday, Pope Francis said in a press conference that Donald Trump "is not a Christian" if he advocates building a wall at the Mexican and U.S. border.
CNN quickly reported on the event with the headline: "Pope suggests Trump 'is not a Christian.'"
Trump quickly fired back, stating that the Pope does not reserve "the right to question another man's religion."
While Trump has every right to defend himself and his religious beliefs, CNN and many major news networks do not understand that sometimes something as little as a headline can add fuel to an already raging fire.
The news media have the ability to stimulate divisiveness whether it is intentional or not, and only later in the article does it explain that the Pope also said he wasn't fully informed about the situation, but was willing to give Trump the "benefit of the doubt."
Instead, the news media capitalized on the Pope's most controversial statement in its headline and throughout the majority of the article.
Trump now has his eyes set on the Pope, adding, "If and when the Vatican is attacked by ISIS … I can promise you that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president."
While an initial retaliation is to be expected from Trump, any growing tension between the two of them will be a product of media influence.
Because of the disproportionate reporting and over-exaggeration by the media, people will often fail to realize that the Pope is a religious leader. He was elected under the condition that he would uphold the Catholic values and, whether one agrees with him or not, he was simply answering a question about Trump in accordance with those values.

Mexican crime reporter found dead
Mexican journalist Anabel Flores Salazar was found dead on the side of a highway Tuesday after being abducted from her Veracruz home in the early morning hours Monday.
Salazar, who reported crime for the Mexican newspaper El Sol de Orizaba, was found naked and bound in the state of Puebla, according to the Puebla Attorney General's office.
According to Salazar's aunt, who witnessed the abduction, the kidnappers entered the home with an alleged warrant for Salazar's arrest.
The death reports that followed are unfortunately the norm in many countries outside of the U.S. According to CNN, Salazar was one of 11 reported journalist murders in the Veracruz state within the past five years. Regrettably, that number doesn't include at least 10 other Mexican journalists who have gone missing or whose murders remain mysteries.
Although Mexico boasts a special prosecutor for crimes against freedom of expression, the very fact that such a thing exists in the country is evidence that major changes need to be made to protect journalists' rights.
It is the 21st century and freedom of speech and the press should be a fundamental right for all journalists worldwide, let alone all people, without fear of persecution.
This request may be difficult to make a reality given Mexico's longstanding crime and corruption and it's impossible to keep journalists safe from all harm, but it should at least serve as some motivation to take action.
It's an extremely sad day for the world as a whole, when a person is killed for doing her job courageously and attempting to uncover the truth.
Major changes needed to be made for reporters in more dangerous countries, and how to make those changes will be an even more strenuous undertaking. But, as of now, justice will come only when the Mexican government convicts Salazar's killers and develops a system to more fervently protect its reporters.

Zika virus: Should we fear the worst?
Posted on February 4, 2016 by Kate Hovan
The recent Zika virus outbreak has caused concern around the globe and continues to dominate headlines and newscasts each day.
Zika is a virus transmitted through infected mosquitoes in tropical regions, namely South and Central America. The disease is most problematic for pregnant women, as the virus has been linked to a birth defect known as microcephaly.
Any person who turns on a television or a computer to stay up-to-date on current events can tell you that Zika is spreading rapidly.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, was recently quoted as saying, "It isn't as if it's turning around and dying out, it's getting worse and worse as the days go by."
Comments like Fauci's, which many Zika-related stories seem to be filled with, have the ability to spark fear in millions of people around the globe.
However, a recent article by CNN Specialist Dr. Tom Frieden paints the virus in a different light.
According to Frieden, who is a director at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),  "from the information we know now, widespread transmission in the contiguous United States appears to be unlikely."
And while the Zika threat definitely should not be taken lightly, Frieden also states that "science doesn't have a crystal ball, but the CDC has great laboratories and the world's best disease detectives."
Frieden's article highlights one main point: Zika virus is a serious issue, but it is important to put a health crisis like this into perspective.
The likelihood of many Americans being infected by the virus is small, and the CDC has also dealt with serious crises like Ebola and avian influenza in past years.
The media tend to take disease outbreaks and cover the situation in excess, causing people to assume that each and every new disease has the potential to exterminate humanity.
It is undoubtedly important to do your research and stay informed during an outbreak. But, before you let Zika virus dictate how you live your life, keep your eyes open for lesser known facts and opinions that the media may not put on the front page.

Q: Can not convert typedef to std::pair in Visual Studio 2015 I try to upgrade some projects from Visual Studio 2010 to 2015. In 2010 everything works fine, but in 2015 I get compiler errors which I don't really understand.
I condensed the code into an SSCCE
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <set>
#include <map>
#include <vector>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

#define UNUSED(x) (void(x))

class ColumnDef
{

};

class XMLColumnDef
{
public:
    typedef std::pair<std::string, XMLColumnDef> pair;
    typedef std::pair<std::string, XMLColumnDef *> ptr_pair;

    // Move constructor for moving the column into an container
    // without destroying it. Note that the source is no longer valid after
    // such a move.
    XMLColumnDef(XMLColumnDef &oSource)
    {
        mColumn = oSource.mColumn;
        oSource.mColumn = NULL;
    }

    {
        mColumn = pColumn;
    }

    virtual ~XMLColumnDef(void)

    void addObserver(XMLNodeObserver::map &oNodeObserver, std::string const &oPath, XMLNodeObserver *oObserver = NULL)
    {
        UNUSED(oNodeObserver);
        UNUSED(oPath);
        UNUSED(oObserver);
    }
    void addColumnDef(XMLNodeObserver::map &oNodeObserver, std::string const &oPath, ColumnDef *oColumn, XMLNodeObserver *oObserver = NULL)
    {
        if (oObserver == NULL)
            oObserver = this;

        addObserver(oNodeObserver, oPath, oObserver);

        XMLColumnDef::pair pr = std::make_pair(oPath, XMLColumnDef(oColumn));

        if (oObserver->mColumnDefs.find(oPath) != oObserver->mColumnDefs.end())
        {
            // If a node already exists, we report an internal error, because this indicates a program bug and should be fixed.
            std::cerr << "INTERNAL ERROR: Duplicate rowdef key in XML node observer: " << oPath << std::endl;
        }
        oObserver->mColumnDefs.insert(pr);
    }

private:
    row_def mColumnDefs;
    bool mDebugMode;
};

int main()
{
    XMLNodeObserver o;
    XMLNodeObserver::map om;

    o.addColumnDef(om, "/testpath", new ColumnDef());

    std::cout << "\nDone! Press any key..." << std::endl;
    std::cin.ignore();

    return 0;
}

The error I get in this line:
oObserver->mColumnDefs.insert(pr);

The error I get is this:
junk.cpp(104): error C2664: 'void std::_Tree<std::_Tmap_traits<_Kty,_Ty,_Pr,_Alloc,false>>::insert(std::initializer_list<std::pair<const _Kty,_Ty>>)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'XMLColumnDef::pair' to 'std::pair<const _Kty,_Ty> &&'
          with

              _Alloc=std::allocator<std::pair<const std::string,XMLColumnDef>>
          ]
          and
          [
              _Kty=std::string,
              _Ty=XMLColumnDef
          ]
junk.cpp(104): note: Reason: cannot convert from 'XMLColumnDef::pair' to 'std::pair<const _Kty,_Ty>'
          with
          [

              _Ty=XMLColumnDef
          ]
junk.cpp(104): note: No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called

It looks as if Visual Studio 2015 doesn't like it that the parameter oPath is const & but that shouldn't matter as it should be assigned to the pair member.
I also removed the typedefs and tried to compile it with the long names, but that doesn't seem to be the problem (and shouldn't anyway) because I get the same error.
Like:
std::pair<std::string, XMLColumnDef> pr = std::pair<std::string, XMLColumnDef>(oPath, XMLColumnDef(oColumn));

A: Pairs in maps are of type pair<const key,value> and not pair<key,value>. Try using the MyMapType::value_type typedef instead. You get it for free!
example:
typedef std::map<std::string, XMLNodeObserver *> MyMapType;
typedef MyMapType::value_type MyPairType;

Q: Generating 64-byte public key for DH key exchange using Bouncy Castle I need to generate a key pair for Diffie-Hellman key exchange using the secp256r1 curve using Bouncy Castle in C#. The public key should be 64 bytes (I'm not sure which format this is (compressed?), but I can find out).
I have the following code, but the lack of Bouncy Castle documentation has me lost.
X9ECParameters ecParams = SecNamedCurves.GetByName("secp256r1");
var spec = new ECDomainParameters(ecParams.Curve, ecParams.G, ecParams.N, ecParams.H, ecParams.GetSeed());
var keyGenParams = new ECKeyGenerationParameters(spec, new SecureRandom());

var keyGen = new ECKeyPairGenerator("ECDH");
keyGen.Init(keyGenParams);
AsymmetricCipherKeyPair keyPair = keyGen.GenerateKeyPair();
var pubKeyInfo = SubjectPublicKeyInfoFactory.CreateSubjectPublicKeyInfo(keyPair.Public);

// pubKeyInfo.GetDerEncoded()
// pubKeyInfo.GetEncoded()
// pubKeyInfo.PublicKey
// pubKeyInfo.ToAsn1Object()

From here, I have access to a lot of different export formats (seen above), but most values end up being 335 bytes long. pubKeyInfo.PublicKeyData.GetBytes() gives 65 bytes, but I'm not sure why.
I must have some basic misunderstanding here. What am I missing?
If it helps, another client uses the uECC_make_key function to generate the key pair.

A: I believe the data  is provided by pubKeyInfo.PublicKeyData.GetBytes(). It's 65 bytes long because it has a prefix 0x04 byte indicating that the remaining 64 bytes describe the public key in uncompressed format (vs. 0x02 indicating compressed format).
See here for some discussion.

Race Discrimination Case Will Proceed
Division Of Human Rights Reconsiders and Finds Probable Cause Against Southampton Police Department
The Law Offices of Frederick K. Brewington represents Kareem Proctor, an African-American Southampton Village Police Officer, in his claim of unlawful discrimination against the Village of Southampton and the Southampton Village Police Department. An initial Determination and Order decision was held that the investigation did not support that Mr. Proctor was subjected to unequal treatment based on his race, color and for opposing discriminatory treatment. The Law Offices of Frederick K. Brewington reviewed that determination and respectfully requested that the New York State Division of Human Rights ("the Division") reconsider their decision dated December 27, 2019.
It was respectfully requested that the Division reconsider the factual allegations and take a closer examination of the facts provided in support of Mr. Proctor's case. In doing so, it was felt that it would become apparent that Mr. Proctor had thoroughly established sufficient support for the charge of unlawful discriminatory employment practices based on race, color and in opposition to discriminatory and retaliatory treatment in violation of New York Executive Law, Article 15 of the Human Rights Law.
On May 27, 2021, the Division's General Counsel granted that reconsideration and determined "that the proceedings should be reopened and remanded to the Regional Director for the issuance of a probable cause determination. The General Counsel stated that the issues to be determined following the finding of Probable Cause included "whether [Village of Southampton and Southampton Village Police Department] failed to promote [Mr. Proctor] because of his race, whether the [Village of Southampton and Southampton Village Police Department's] reasons for the abrupt reassignment of [Mr. Proctor] a day before his automatic promotion were pretextual, and whether similarly situated white officers were promoted to Detective or other higher positions [while Mr. Proctor was not.]
This decision is a major victory for Mr. Proctor and his quest for proper treatment and justice. The Division's "Reopening" is attached.

The word Lager comes from the German "Lagern," which means to store. In the early days of Lager brewing, many brewers would store their Bier through the summer in the caves of the Bavarian Alps. These caves were cooled with blocks of ice taken from frozen lakes in the winter months. The long maturation over the summer let the yeast settle to the bottom and left the Bier with a cleaner taste and paler colour than other Biers of the time. These Bavarian Lagers were much darker than the golden Lagers that dominate the market today. These dark brown or black Lagers, known as Dunkel or Dunkles, are still produced in Bavaria today. Today, Lagers come in all shapes and sizes, from crisp, golden Pilsners to dark, roasted Dunkels.
Blonde Lagers
In the early 19th century, Bavarian brewers began experimenting with brewing techniques that involved storing their Biers in cold Bier cellars for prolonged periods, using bottom-fermenting yeast. After an initial fermentation, the Bier would be given a second lagering period at a low temperature, and then would be stored in refrigerated Bier cellars. They could be kept for a few weeks or several months, during which time the drink would mellow and clear.
Amber Lagers
The Amber Lager was first introduced around 1840 in Vienna Austria by Anton dreher, the renowned brewer of the Schwechat Brewery. he lightly roasted a new type of malt in his kilns and was rewarded with an elegantly reddish new Bier style that came to be known as Vienna Lager.
Dark Lagers
Before the invention of modern kilning techniques all Biers were dark... even Lagers. These traditional Biers have been replaced in many parts of the world with their more modern cousins, Blonde or Amber Lagers, but still have a significant place in the hearts of many Bier drinkers in the czech republic and germany. This classic style is enjoying a renaissance in the hands of many north American craft brewers. These Biers are easy drinking and refined, with a slightly sweet, roasted nuttiness.
The town of Plzen in Bohemia had been making Bier since the 1200s and, in 1842, the Bavarian brewer Josef Groll travelled there and tested a new Lager recipe. Groll's new brewing techniques produced the very first golden, clear Bier in Europe. This drink became known as Pilsner, which means "from Plze" in german. Made with neutral and hard water. Tend to be golden in colour with a dry, crisp, and somewhat bitter flavour. Pilsner stands out from other lagers due to its more distinctive hop taste.
Although the first incident of fermentation is lost to the pages of history, our favourite tale of Bier's beginnings is as follows: After baking bread, a young woman got caught in a rainstorm and abandoned her loaf to the elements. When the woman returned after the storm, she found the bread soaked in water. After tasting the water-soaked bread, a mild sense of "happiness" came over her — and the rest is brewing history.
One of the two main families of Bier, Ales have been around much longer than their Lager counterparts. Ales are fermented with a top-fermenting yeast strain that usually performs well at warmer temperatures. This made Ale ideal for brewing in the days before refrigeration. Ales tend to be more complex and bolder than Lagers, and are credited with starting the craft Bier movement.
Blonde Ales
This is a light- to medium-bodied ale, with a low malt aroma that has a spiced and sometimes fruity-ester character. Sugar is sometimes added to lighten the perceived body. This style is medium in sweetness and not as bitter as Belgian-style tripels or golden strong ales. It is usually brilliantly clear. The overall impression is balance between light sweetness, spice and low to medium fruity ester flavours.
Strong Dark Ales
This is a light- to medium-bodied ale, with a low malt aroma that has a spiced and sometimes fruity-ester character. Sugar is sometimes added to lighten the perceived body. This style is medium in sweetness and not as bitter as Belgian-style tripels or golden strong ales. It is usually brilliantly clear. The overall impression is balance between light sweetness, spice and low to medium fruity ester flavours.This is a broad designation assigned to a group of robust, high ABV Biers ranging from 6.5% to 11%. Most Biers in this style are produced in Belgium or in craft breweries in north America. Many of the Biers represented in this category are brewed in the classic Belgian style and hail from some of the most acclaimed abbeys, monasteries and historic breweries in the world! These Biers are bold and complex and often showcase aromas of dark fruit.
Pale/Amber Ales
Like many Bier styles, Pale Ale resulted from an innovation in brewing technology. The brewers in Burton-on-Trent in england were looking for a way to produce a more consistent and paler Bier. The kilns of the time used wood, which was difficult to control and often resulted in dark roasted or even scorched barley. They found that coke, a processed form of coal that burns hot and steady, gave them the desired effect — a clear, amber or copper-coloured Ale.
In order to provide Bier to British soldiers stationed in Bombay, india, in the late 1700s, the brewer george hodgson, decided to create a Bier to weather the sea voyage. george increased the hop (a natural preservative) content in the Pale Ale, which he knew would help the Bier in transit. he also understood the impact of increased alcohol as a preservative and brewed his Bier accordingly to accommodate the long journey. ibus (international Bittering units) are also used to describe these Biers. This scale is based on the bitterness of Bier upon completion of aging and ranges from 0 to 100.
Stout & Porters
The name Porter was first used in the 18th century because of this style of Bier's popularity with dock and hotel porters. Originally created from a blend of Brown Ale, Pale Ale and "stale," or well-matured Brown Ale, Porter has gone through many style and colour transitions over the years but has come to be known as a dark brown to black Bier with a nice roasted malt character. The term Stout was applied to stronger, darker versions. Stout flooded into ireland from London and Bristol when a dublin brewer named Arthur guinness decided to fashion his own interpretation by blending Porter with some unmalted roasted barley, and in so doing produced a style known as dry irish Stout.
Wheat beer has a very long history, dating back to Germany in the Middle Ages and some argue, to the first century AD. It's a style that's found throughout Europe, and called "white beer" or weissbier in its native country of Germany, wit beer in Belgium and bière blanche in France. German versions are known for their banana and clove flavours, produced by the yeast, while Belgians stand out for the coriander and orange peel that's added to the ale. Most wheats are naturally fermented in the bottle, so these "living ales" explode with tons of tiny bubbles. Explore all the flavours and decide which you love best.
Hefeweizen/Hefeweissebiers
For almost 300 years, Bavarian law dictated that only the royal family held rights to brew this classic style of Bier. Then, in 1872, georg Schneider of the Schneider Brewery negotiated the rights to brew this formerly exclusive Bier. Brewed with a large portion of malted wheat and fermented with a particular yeast, these Biers are famous for their clove and banana aromas.
Dark Hefeweizen
Similar to a Hefeweizen, these southern Germany wheat beers are brewed as darker versions (Dunkel means "dark") with deliciously complex malts and a low balancing bitterness. Most are brown and murky (from the yeast). The usual clove and fruity (banana) characters will be present, some may even taste like banana bread.
Trappist Ales
Although brewing was once commonplace at abbeys across Europe, today there remain but a handful of these monastic breweries. The most famous are the celebrated Trappist breweries of Belgium and the Netherlands – Achel, Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, Westmalle, Westvleteren and La Trappe. While the size of the breweries and the types of Ales produced vary dramatically from abbey to abbey, each one must meet stringent criteria in order to maintain its Trappist designation.
1. The Bier must be brewed within the walls of a Trappist abbey, by or under control of Trappist monks.
2. The brewery, the choices of brewing, and the commercial orientations must depend on the monastic community.
Dubbels
"Double" Bier. Dubbels are a strong brown Ale with low bitterness, a heavy body and a malty, nutty finish. These Biers have an ABV of 6.5% to 8%, a colour that runs the range from dark amber to copper and bitterness from 15 to 25 IBUs.
Tripels
"Triple" Bier. Tripels run from 7.5% to 9% alcohol by volume, and are brewed with high carbonation and high attenuation yeasts to reduce the taste of alcohol. Colour runs lighter than Dubbels and bitterness ranges from 20 to 40 IBUs, though most Tripels have greater than 30 IBUs.
Quadrupels
Inspired by the Trappist brewers of Belgium, a Quadrupel is a Belgian-style Ale of great strength with bolder flavour compared to its Dubbel and Tripel sister styles. Typically a dark creation that ranges within the deep red, brown and garnet hues. Full bodied with a rich malty palate. Sweet with low bitterness and an ABV range of 9% to 13%.
Made with a mix of beer and lemonade, Radler is the German equivalent of the British shandy. Enterprising innkeepr, Franz Kugler, invented the "radlermass," or cyclist's litre, in 1922 after he had a bike trail built from Munich to his forested inn. On the first day the trail opened, he had more thirsty cyclists than beer, so he mixed it with lemonade. Its low alcohol (between 2-4% ABV) makes it an ideal after-sport thirst quencher. At last, this beer-and-juice combination has hit the North American radar, with many craft brewers creating their own unique versions with lager or wheat-beer bases.
Apple trees were growing in the uK well before the romans came, but they were the ones who introduced organized cultivation. Cider was produced in substantial quantities on farms across England and it became customary in the 18th century to pay a portion of a farm labourer's daily wage in cider. A typical allowance on a farm was three to four pints per day. Labourers were rated by the amount they drank; a two-gallon-a-day man was considered worth the extra he drank!
There is evidence to suggest that fruit and Bier have been companions since the first days of brewing. Long before hops were used to "season" Bier, fruit, herbs and spices were used to balance the malt character of the Bier. fruit Biers can range from sweet and fruity to tart and vinous.
The flanders red Ales of west flanders and the Oud Bruin Ales of east flanders are Biers that get their signature sweet and sour flavour from the blending of young and aged Biers that have been exposed to wild yeast strains during the brewing process or during maturation. These Biers are often described as wine-like and fruity, with refreshing tartness and acidity.
Lambics
Brewed in the Zenne Valley of Belgium, Lambics are Biers brewed through spontaneous fermentation thanks to the presence of a specific wild yeast. Probably the oldest recognizable style of Bier, they date back to 1559. Lambics are loved by connoisseurs but an acquired taste for many, as the wild yeast gives them tart, acidic qualities that make them unlike most other Biers. Lambic-style Biers can take years of aging and careful blending of multiple batches before they're ready to drink. Lambic can be drunk direct from the barrel, but usually it is used as base for these six other Biers (geuze, faro, Kriek, framboise, Pêcheresse and cassis).
Bier 101


A SPORTSMAN whose cannabis factory was discovered by a heat-seeking police helicopter has avoided jail.
Semi-professional kickboxer Marcus Delamare was found with more than 100 cannabis plants in the attic of his Spaldwick home in October 2007.
On Thursday magistrates at Huntingdon handed Delamare, 36, a six-month jail term, suspended for a year, along with 150 hours community service.
Prosecutor Joseph McKenna told the court how the police helicopter had spotted a roof in Burton Way, Spaldwick that seemed to be 'glowing'.
Officers searched the house and found drug-growing paraphernalia as well asthe cannabis plants, cannabis resin and a bag of cocaine, Mr McKenna said.
Delamare had used sophisticated equipment to grow the drugs in his attic, which had been the heat source the helicopter detected, the prosecutor added.
Delamare had pleaded guilty to possession of the cannabis and cocaine and production of cannabis plants.
Mitigating, David Potter said Delamare had given up smoking cannabis since his arrest and planned to set up his own business.
"He realises his use of cannabis could have caused detriment to his son and that is why he is going to stop," Mr Potter said.
The drugs were "purely for Mr Delamare and for no-one else," the solicitor continued.
As well as the suspended jail term and community service, Delamare was given a 12-month community supervision order and ordered to pay £75 costs.
Magistrates also ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the seized drugs and drug-growing equipment.

Report Probes the Future of Special Education
By Nirvi Shah — May 25, 2011 2 min read
A new report from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute that looks at how special education students and the people who work with them have changed during the last decade concludes that the field needs to change dramatically.
Among what's needed, the Washington think tank says, is better, more consistent data about students with disabilities and uniform definitions of different types of disabilities; a better handle on spending; an exploration of why some types of disabilities seem to be declining; and a fresh approach to teaching all students, all of whom have unique needs.
The authors find the way special education works—or doesn't—is in part because it hasn't changed enough since the creation of laws that require students with disabilities be taught. And that's a disservice to those students as well as their peers.
"Special education, like general education, needs a makeover for the 21st century. Its service models, instructional strategies, funding, identification methods, disability definitions, [Individualized Education Program] protocols, and so on, no longer serve the needs of truly disabled youngsters. But we can't get there until we peel back the layers of financial and operational opacity that currently shroud the field and hinder our efforts to make it more transparent, efficient, and effective in the future," the report concludes.
The authors were also flummoxed by the way personnel are assigned, or supposedly assigned, to work with students with special needs. Nationally, they found that schools employ 129 special education teachers and aides for every 1,000 special education students, an increase from 117 a decade ago. But drilling down, they found the variations ranged from a reported 320 per 1,000 in New Hampshire to 38 per 1,000 in Mississippi.
And while strategies such as response to intervention are being credited for reducing the number of students identified as having specific learning disabilities, which has led to an overall decline in all students with disabilities after decades of steady growth, they say the drop deserves more study. (For more analysis on the decline in the numbers of special education students, see my colleague Christina Samuels' story from September.)
But perhaps the crux of the 25-page report was money. While the authors were able to tally, to an extent, that special education spending consumed about 21 percent of all spending in 2005, compared to 18 percent in 1996, they said there isn't enough information about where the money is going. (One website and advocate tries to follow some of the money. But it isn't easy.) "Accurate accounting of state, district, and school-level spending on special education simply does not exist," they write in summary of their frustration. "That such large swaths of state and district budgets can go essentially unmeasured and unreported is scandalous. Policymakers, parents, and taxpayers deserve to know how much money is spent on special education and for what purposes—in a user-friendly fashion."
As you'll read in a story by me next week, special education spending has long been viewed as sacred, sometimes to the detriment of other students, in the opinion of some.
The authors say that can't remain the case, noting that several states applied for waivers to reduce special education spending in recent years: "We can no longer view these as untouchable expenditures."

Huawei and Beijing are jointly developing a municipal blockchain directory
ByAmber Baxter	 August 24, 2020
Huawei and the Beijing City Government have jointly developed a blockchain directory for the city government.
According to an official report released on August 24, the system, which is still being tested, will aims to improve government services and support the city's business environment.
The interest in blockchain technology is part of Beijing's research on smart city approaches to improving urban innovation and governance.
Other technologies that are being explored for smart infrastructures include 5G, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.
Throughout 2019 Beijing and Huawei have jointly created a directory of the blockchain system to connect the city's 50 urban departments and support the exchange and management of big data between departments.
System applications include Property management that enables efficient communication and feedback between citizens and the mayor's office, roadside parking services, medical care, especially pandemic response services, and the provision of public services (water, gas and electricity).
The Beijing government says the common people are ready to become the direct beneficiaries of the new infrastructure.
Huawei's role in the directory is to contribute its own Huawei cloud blockchain. The system supports data management and feedback in real time, rights management, data synchronization and release, authorized access management and traceability.
The use of blockchain technology will play a key role in integrating next-generation technologies into the strategic goals of urban modernization and digitized municipal services, the report concludes.
At the same time, China's nationwide blockchain project, the Blockchain Service Network, is making rapid progress and is today confirming plans to integrate stablecoins as a means of payment for services into its corporate blockchain ecosystem.
The test run of the central bank's upcoming digital currency is limited to small retail stores to this day, according to the latest reports.

R.I.P., New Media Expo, Hello BlogWorldNewMediaExpo
Dec 10th, 2008 | By Elisabeth Lewin | Category: Making Money with Podcasts, Podcasting, Podcasting Events
The news was not unexpected, yet somehow was still surprising when it came today.
The two big (for-profit) new media conferences, Blog World Expo and the New Media Expo are combining into a new annual event, The Blog World & New Media Expo. The hybrid conference inaugural run will be at the Las Vegas Convention Center (site of both former events in 2008) October 15-17, 2009.
Blog World Expo's founder, Rick Calvert, and New Media Expo founder, Tim Bourquin, are longtime acquaintances and fellow trade show organizers. On his blog, Bourquin says he is "handing over the reins" to New Media Expo to Calvert's team, in order to take that conference "to the next level." Bourquin calls the combined show "a great move for both attendees and exhibitors." Calvert, in turn, says the event "will truly be the comprehensive, industry-wide event that Tim and I had both searched for."
Bourquin's New Media Expo is the longer-running of the two events, and debuted in California in 2005 as the Podcast Expo, with a focus on (duh) podcasting and downloadable media. As podcasters' needs and interests expanded into other new media, the event name also morphed, to Podcast and Portable Media Expo in '06, then Podcast and New Media Expo in '07, and finally moved to Las Vegas as the New Media Expo earlier this year.
After this year's New Media Expo, Bourquin talked candidly about the challenges of running a for-profit technology industry trade show, and mused whether it was worth staying in the business.
Calvert's BlogWorld Expo debuted more recently in fall 2007. In "Internet years"(which are like dog years, but even more accelerated), being two years newer yielded a far different conference experience. While it also touched on podcasting (and boasted Podango, Wizzard, Blog Talk Radio and Blubrry among their exhibitor/sponsors), BlogWorld Expo's first year focused mostly on blogging. There was a military blogging focus, and a "Godblogging" session track, and it seemed the BlogWorld Expo sessions and exhibits (at least that inaugural year, when I attended), skewed toward the more conservative end of the new media spectrum.
The acquisition of the New Media Expo, with its dedicated following of podcast creators, is a smart move for Calvert and the BlogWorld Expo. What remains to be seen is whether the combined conference will still attract and preserve the funkier end of the personal media spectrum, and whether the podcast and downloadable parts of the New Media universe will be accommodated.

Kevin Crossman says:
Actually, the first name was "Portable Media Expo" but was unofficially called the "Podcast Expo."


Formerly known as the PDA Contact Group, the PDA Society aims to offer support, advice and information to anyone involved with an individual with PDA, whether suspected or diagnosed, child or adult.
The PDA Society is a voluntary organisation, overseen by a management committee, each of whom is a parent of a child with PDA.
The PDA Contact Group was originally set up in 1997 to put people with an interest in PDA in touch with each other, which we still do today through our discussion forum. The change in name to the PDA Society is a reflection that we are becoming more than a 'contact group' and see ourselves as the voice for PDA, running awareness campaigns and sharing information.
and providing people with information to set up their own local support groups.

How Much Salt The Body Need To Stay Healthy?
"Salt is what makes your food taste good" and when it lacks salt, your food becomes tasteless." According to a medical professional Dr. Paul Whelton, a professor of global public health at Tulane University, " defined "Sodium as the most important extracellular electrolyte," It plays a role in many health functions."
But do you know 'Salt' has 40 percent sodium, 60 percent chlorine and 100 percent delicious. For the American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mgs) a day and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. Because the average American's sodium intake is so excessive, even cutting back to no more than 2,400 milligrams a day will significantly improve blood pressure and heart health.
But at the other hand, sodium is one of those things that everyone "knows" is unhealthy… kind of like saturated fat. Heath experts have always warn us about it for decades and about the "dangers" of it. The reason they do so, is that sodium is believed to increase blood pressure, a common risk factor for heart disease and stroke. This has constantly generate debated question: How much salt the body need to stay healthy? On one hand, your body needs the nutrients in salt to survive — particularly sodium.
I am sure You are transform by the information you get through me, I am also sure you can be part of our daily updates. Why not leave your email behind let me keep you informed with Inspirations, Health Columns and News always.
Sodium Is the most important extracellular electrolyte," so what are Electrolyte?
Electrolytes are tiny substances that dissolve in water to create positively- and negatively-charged ions that conduct electricity. A proper balance of these charges inside and outside of your cells is crucial to regulating many bodily functions, including hydration, blood pressure, and proper functioning of nerves and muscles. And yet, as important as sodium is, most Americans consume way too much of it. According to the federal government's official dietary guidelines, the average American adult should ingest a maximum of 2,300 milligrams of sodium every day — a far cry from the estimated 3,400 mg the average person actually consumes. High-sodium diets like these have been widely linked to hypertension (high blood pressure) cases, which can increase one risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.
So, how much salt do you actually need to survive?
"The minimum in a country like the United States is probably about 1500 mg a day," Whelton said. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this is about the amount adults with high blood pressure should aim to consume each day. It's also the daily amount the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends for babies under three years old.
For most Americans, eating this little sodium is near impossible. Of the roughly 3,400 mg of sodium the average American consumes every day, about 71 percent (or roughly 2400 mg) comes from added salt in processed and prepared foods, the CDC estimates. Eschewing a dash of table salt on your dinner will hardly make a dent in a sodium diet that's largely determined by food manufacturers, Whelton said.
Certain groups of people, however, face a heightened risk of dropping below their minimum sodium needs and developing a condition called hyponatremia, which occurs when sodium becomes too diluted in the body, causing cells to swell up with water. Inflamed cells can cause myriad health problems including headache, nausea and fatigue — and may even be life-threatening.
Older adults with decreased kidney function, or anyone who takes medication that affect sodium levels (such as diuretics that help flush excess water and sodium from the body), face a heightened risk of hyponatremia. So do athletes who drink excessive amounts of water but fail to replace the sodium they sweat out while exercising. (This is why many sports drinks contain added electrolytes.)
Most people, however, don't need to worry about getting enough salt. Whatever salt you get in your regular daily meals is probably more than enough to keep your cells well-oiled.
"I'm not too hung up on 1500 mg," Whelton said, "because most of us are so far away from consuming even that."
Sodium as a part of a healthy diet, check out some scientific statement.
Here are the approximate amounts of sodium in a given amount of table salt:
Did you know that on average, Americans eat more than 3,400 milligrams of sodium each day — much more than the American Heart Association and other health organizations recommend?
Most of us are likely underestimating how much sodium we eat, if we can estimate it at all. The association surveyed 1,000 adults and found that one-third couldn't estimate how much sodium they ate, and another 54 percent thought they were eating less than 2,000 mg sodium a day.
Minimizing Sodium Can Mildly Lower Blood Pressure
It is definitely true that reducing sodium can help a person lower blood pressure, but the effect isn't as strong as you may think.
In a massive Cochrane review of 34 randomized controlled trials, salt restriction was shown to reduce blood pressure ( 3 ):
Individuals with elevated blood pressure: A reduction of 5.39 mm Hg systolic and 2.82 mm Hg for diastolic.
Individuals with normal blood pressure: A reduction of 2.42 mm Hg systolic and 1.00 mm Hg for diastolic.
Be aware that these numbers are only averages. Some people may have seen impressive reductions, while others little to no effects.
As with most things in nutrition, the results depend on the individual.

Fundraiser ongoing for child with multiple medical needs
Ryan Addison at birth PHOTO COURTESY OF HANNAH WOLF ADDISON
By Chris Edwards
CENTER – If rising medical costs aren't scary enough, the ancillary expenses of hospital stays and surgeries can be overwhelming, as well. Hotel stays, meals and other travel expenses can add up when a family member is ill.
In this day and age, many folks get by with a little help from their friends, family and churches, and some fundraising efforts can be creative. Such is the case with Hannah Wolf Addison and her son Ryan. Hannah, a Center resident, is the granddaughter of Woodville Church of Christ Minister Keith Bellamy.
Bro. Bellamy has kept his flock and his friends in the loop on what has been going on with little Ryan, who was born facing a litany of health problems. Ryan, who was born on Nov. 9, 2019, had difficulties breathing from the start, and following several incidents and a five-hour surgery to repair his esophagus, he was diagnosed with VACTERL syndrome, an acronym for which each letter stands for a different condition present at birth. "I was honestly devastated," Hannah said, when she learned that her newborn baby boy had to be airlifted from Tyler to Medical City Children's Hospital in Dallas.
The costs from the many medical needs will continue to mount, Hannah said, with another surgery scheduled this year. To assist with these costs, Hannah is selling a wide variety of air fresheners under the fundraiser name "Mighty Dino Rawrs for Ryan."
Some of the products have colorful and creative, amusing names, such as "Lick Me All over" and "Leather & Lace," but one thing is for certain, they smell better and last longer than similar products one can find in stores.
Hannah said that initially, she and her sister began kicking around ideas of how to raise money for her family's expenses, and originally, they were creating candles to sell. With her sister now enlisted in the Army, Hannah looked toward other ideas of goods to sell.
She said she has a cousin who crafts similar products, and so she learned how to do them herself. With that skill in her bag, she has come up with a variety of different scents, ranging from the manly and/or rustic in nature (leather scents and one labelled "Coffee") to the sweeter ones, which have the colorful names, and yes, the Coffee scent actually smells like premium coffee beans. The air fresheners are $10 apiece, and all of the proceeds are going toward any associated expenses with Ryan's care to which they can be applied.
Her grandfather has helped spread the word about Hannah's wares. He said that Hannah has a lot of experience in working with young people with challenges."She is a very loving mother, who is doing her best to raise her little son Ryan," he said.

Bellamy added that Hannah had a cousin who was challenged and became her friend when she was about two years old. After high school, Hannah worked as a counselor at the Texas Lions Camp.
Along with the current fundraiser that utilizes her skill and creativity, some of Hannah's family, friends and church family have helped out with barbecue fundraisers and a chili cook-off.
Despite the challenges, Hannah is staying positive and grounded in her faith. "After we found out everything, I knew that God was going to take care of us, and He has ever since," she said.
While last year presented its share of challenges to her family, Hannah remains hopeful for the new year. "We're just ready for the surgeries to be over so that we can all be safe and happy," she said.
