ACOs Driving HIE Development, Competition
By Chris Dimick
Health information exchange is about more than just connecting providers for the electronic transfer of records. Direct financial benefits can also result from this exchange.
Accountable care organizations (ACOs), which incentivize competing providers to link together and exchange data in order to lower costs and share savings, are becoming a true market driver for private and public HIE development.
As private and public HIEs jostle for their position in the marketplace, both entities are looking to ACOs as an opportunity for both saving and making money. ACOs join the meaningful use program and other initiatives that are giving providers a nudge to invest in HIE.
Both private and state HIEs claim to be the best at helping providers create and utilize ACOs, with private HIE vendors saying they excel at connecting local organizations and state HIEs saying they can offer wide-reaching connections for an even greater breadth of shared information.
It remains to be seen which HIE type—the enterprising private HIE or the non-profit state level HIE—will corner the ACO market.
ACOs are better serviced by a private HIE exchange, said Chris Voigt, senior director at Siemens Healthcare-owned private HIE vendor MobileMD. ACO participants would never share the sensitive financial information they need to transact between ACO participants at a state level – such matters would need to be handled more discreetly, he said.
However, state-HIE developers have a different outlook. The wide reach that state HIEs provide offers the diversity and connectivity that will make an ACO successful beyond the limited, local reach of private HIEs, said Gary Ozanich, Ph.D., senior research fellow at the Center for Applied Informatics at Northern Kentucky University and chair of the business development and finance committee at the state-level Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE).
A state HIE can cover those "white spaces" that private HIEs don't typically include in their networks—the small and fringe providers. The state HIE provides real continuity of care, encouragement of meaningful use, and patient engagement for the entire population of a state, said Karen Chrisman, staff attorney for the Kentucky Governor's Office of Electronic Health Information, the agency operating KHIE.
While some providers might be hesitant to join a state HIE, and thus share information with competitors, the ongoing development of accountable care organizations and the rapid shift from payment based on service to payment based on outcomes will cause more providers—even those with private HIEs—to want to more freely exchange information at the state level, Ozanich said.
Argument for Private HIEs
Private and state HIEs are competitors—but that shouldn't be seen as a bad thing, one vendor CEO said. May the best HIE rise to the top of the marketplace, contends Marc Willard, CEO of Certify Data Systems, an HIE vendor.
Private HIEs have the ability to improve healthcare through sustainable, profitable services—something many state HIEs will struggle to achieve, Willard said.
HIE should not be a forced, top-down development led by state HIEs. Since healthcare is mainly local, private HIEs that serve segments of a state is a more natural and sustainable approach to information exchange.
"State systems tend to drive maybe the large hospitals working within them, but they also drive bureaucracy and it is unclear whether the funding will come outside of a grant," Willard said. "The health system approach is just more natural to say 'look, it is our population, our community of patients and physicians, why don't we just do it ourselves.'"
Many health systems cross state lines, meaning those systems would need to belong to several state HIEs just to exchange health information within its own system. Better to leave HIE to the private HIEs, which can then connect to a state HIEs to trade information with competitors and far-off systems if necessary, Willard said.
"I can tell you we have five or six health systems that will connect with each other without any state HIE, without any bureaucracy, and they will do that on an as needed basis," he says.
State HIEs take longer to develop than private HIEs because they have many different stakeholders providing input. This can lead to a state HIE with a limited capacity when stakeholders disagree on how to exchange information and what can be exchanged, Voigt said.
But private HIEs can develop their own rules. Since physicians are sharing information within their own network, they may see the exchange as more trustworthy and valuable, Willard said.
Healthcare is primarily a local initiative, and localized HIEs driven by private enterprise will lead to the only real HIE benefit, Willard says.
"What are the chances of a patient from California ending up in a hospital in New York in their lifetimes, two percent? But the chances of that patient ending up in a hospital within 10 minutes from their current home is an awful lot higher," Willard says. "Let's make sure we have the local HIE running really well and can make that connection if something happens and you need to send that record."
Argument for State HIEs
State HIEs are necessary to cover the gaps in service that private HIEs don't offer, as well as to foster collaboration between a sometimes polarized healthcare community, Ozanich said. For many rural and independent providers, the state HIE might be their only link to information exchange.
State HIEs are also necessary to provide services that aren't financially attractive to private HIEs but are needed for the greater good of the healthcare community, contends Leslie Lenert, professor of medicine and biomedical informatics at the University of Utah's School of Medicine.
In a paper published in the January 2012 Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Lenert said state-HIEs and their nonprofit mission are essential for driving initiatives that might not turn a dollar, but offer wide improvements in the quality of healthcare provided. If private HIEs drive out state HIEs, then those services would not be realized, he said.
While private HIEs could eventually do everything a state HIE promises, some HIE vendors do see the current need for a state entity. For example, having a record locator service at the state level would be helpful to private HIE operators, Voigt said.
"If I can go to the state and say 'Hey, I have this patient, can you guys tell me where else their records are,' and you could go look them up and the state provides me the direct services and utility to go ahead and securely, with proper authorization and authentication, pull those records from some other non-affiliated provider, that would be a helpful thing," Voigt said.
Vendors argue that health systems should develop connections naturally and through specific business ventures. Asking competing hospitals to work together—the model of state HIE—could easily fail, Voigt says.
But state HIEs are seen as a unifying point, working to encourage healthcare providers that are usually stingy with their health data to share in the name of better coordinated care and the eventual improvement of healthcare processes.

Map of the Abandoned Rails of Sioux Falls to Yankton, SD
Sioux Falls to Yankton, SD
Dakota Central Railroad
Forwarded from Dakota Central Railroad
Home | SD | BN , C&NW , DCRR , GN
This Great Northern Railroad line originally started out as the Dakota Central Railroad between Mission Hill and Volin in 1873, representing one of the first railroads in South Dakota territory. Eventually, the remainder of the line was built by the GN between Yankton and Sioux Falls by 1893.
The DCRR sold its "island" of track between Mission Hill and Volin to the Chicago & North Western Railway in 1900, who granted trackage rights to the GN. The GN ultimately purchased the track from C&NW in 1961.
The line was abandoned in stages under the Burlington Northern Railroad: first between Yankton and Irene in 1981, and the remaining line into Sioux Falls the following year.
Here is a rough timeline of the route:

Lipid emulsions for parenterally fed term and late preterm infants
Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2019 Jun 4;6(6):CD013171. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD013171.pub2.
Vishal Kapoor 1 , Manoj N Malviya, Roger Soll
1 Department of Paediatrics, Queensland Children's Hospital, 501 Stanley Street, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, 4101.
DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD013171.pub2
Background: Lipid emulsions (LE) form a vital component of infant nutrition for critically ill, late preterm or term infants, particularly for those with gastrointestinal failure. Conventionally used soybean oil-based LE (S-LE) have high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content and phytosterols, which may contribute to adverse effects including parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD).
Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of all LE for parenteral nutrition (PN) in term and late preterm infants (between 34 weeks' gestation and 36 weeks' and six days' gestation) with or without surgical conditions or PNALD within first six months of life, using all possible direct comparisons.
Search methods: We used the standard search strategy of Cochrane Neonatal to search the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2018, Issue 5), MEDLINE (1946 to 18 June 2018), Embase (1974 to 18 June 2018), CINAHL (1982 to 18 June 2018), MIDRIS (1971 to 31 May 2018), conference proceedings, trial registries (ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO's Trials Registry), and the reference lists of retrieved articles for randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised trials.
Selection criteria: Randomised or quasi-randomised controlled studies in term and late preterm infants, with or without surgical conditions or PNALD.
Data collection and analysis: Data collection and analysis conformed to the methods of Cochrane Neonatal. We used the GRADE approach to assess the quality of evidence for important outcomes in addition to reporting the conventional statistical significance of results.
Main results: The review included nine randomised studies (n = 273). LE were classified in three broad groups: 1. all fish oil-containing LE including pure fish oil (F-LE) and multisource LE (e.g. medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)-olive-fish-soybean oil-LE (MOFS-LE), MCT-fish-soy oil-LE (MFS-LE) and olive-fish-soy-LE (OFS-LE)); 2. conventional pure S-LE; 3. alternative-LE (e.g. MCT-soy-LE (MS-LE), olive-soy-LE (OS-LE) and borage oil-based LE).We considered four broad comparisons: 1. all fish oil LE versus non-fish oil LE (6 studies; n = 182); 2. fish oil LE versus another fish oil LE (0 studies); 3. alternative-LE versus S-LE (3 studies; n = 91); 4. alternative-LE versus another alternative-LE (0 studies) in term and late preterm infants (0 studies), term and late preterm infants with surgical conditions (7 studies; n = 233) and term and late preterm infants with PNALD/cholestasis (2 studies; n = 40).PNALD/cholestasis was defined as conjugated bilirubin (Cbil) 2 mg/dL or greater and resolution of PNALD/cholestasis as Cbil less than 2 mg/dL. We put no restriction on timing of PNALD detection. There was heterogeneity in definitions and time points for detecting PNALD in the included studies.We found one study each in surgical infants and in infants with cholestasis, showing no evidence of difference in incidence or resolution of PNALD/cholestasis (Cbil cut-off: 2 mg/dL) with use of fish oil-containing LE compared to S-LE.We considered an outcome allowing for any definition of PNALD (different Cbil cut-off levels). In infants with surgical conditions and no pre-existing PNALD, meta-analysis showed no difference in the incidence of PNALD/cholestasis (any definition) with use of fish oil-containing LE compared to S-LE (typical risk ratio (RR) 1.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.38 to 3.76; typical risk difference (RD) 0.03, 95% CI -0.14 to 0.20; 2 studies; n = 68; low-quality evidence). In infants with PNALD/cholestasis (any definition), use of fish oil-LEs was associated with significantly less cholestasis compared to the S-LE group (typical risk ratio (RR) 0.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.32 to 0.91; typical risk difference (RD) -0.39, 95% CI -0.65 to -0.12; number needed to treat for additional beneficial outcome (NNTB) 3, 95% CI 2 to 9; 2 studies; n = 40; very low-quality evidence). This outcome had very low number of participants from two small studies with differences in study methodology and early termination in one study, which increased uncertainty about the effect estimates.One study in infants with cholestasis reported significantly better weight gain with a pure fish oil LE compared to a 10% S-LE (45 g/week, 95% CI 15.0 to 75.0; n = 16; very low-quality evidence). There were no significant differences in growth parameters in studies with surgical populations.For the secondary outcomes, in infants with cholestasis, one study (n = 24) reported significantly lower conjugated bilirubin levels but higher gamma glutamyl transferase levels with MOFS-LE (SMOFlipid) versus S-LE (Intralipid) and another study (n = 16), which was terminated early, reported significantly higher rates of rise in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and conjugated bilirubin levels in the S-LE group compared to pure F-LE (Omegaven).In surgical infants, two studies each reported on hypertriglyceridaemia and Cbil levels with one study in each outcome showing significant benefit with use of a F-LE and the other study showing no difference between the groups. Meta-analysis was not performed for either of these outcomes as there were only two studies showing conflicting results with high heterogeneity between the studies.There was no evidence of differences in death, sepsis, alkaline phosphatase and ALT levels in infants with surgical conditions or cholestasis (very low-quality evidence).One study reported neurodevelopmental outcomes at six and 24 months in infants with surgical conditions (n = 11) with no evidence of difference with use of pure F-LE versus S-LE. Another study in infants with cholestasis (n = 16) reported no difference in head growth velocity between pure F-LE versus S-LE.GRADE quality of evidence ranged from low to very low as the included studies were small single-centre studies. Three of the six studies that contributed data to the review were terminated early for various reasons.
Authors' conclusions: Based on the current review, there is insufficient data from randomised studies to determine with any certainty, the potential benefit of any LE including fish oil-containing LEs over another LE, for prevention or resolution of PNALD/cholestasis or any other outcomes in term and late preterm infants with underlying surgical conditions or cholestasis. There were no studies in infants without surgical conditions or cholestasis.Further research is required to establish role of fish oil or lipids from other sources in LEs to improve PNALD/cholestasis, and other clinical outcomes in parenterally fed term and late preterm infants.

Q: MongoDB using an OR clause in mongoengine I'm using python's mongoengine to query MongoDB, and have loved it for the most part, but I'm having an issue with an advanced query.
Here's my model
class ContentItem(Document):
    account = ReferenceField(Account)
    creator = ReferenceField(User)
    public = BooleanField(default=False)
    last_used = DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)

I would like to make a query for all ContentItem's that are of a particular account, and are either created by the logged in user or are public.  Here's the query I wrote
query = ContentItem.objects.filter( (Q(account=account) & Q(public=True)) |  (Q(account=account) & Q(creator=logged_in_user)) ).order_by('-last_used')

or:
query = ContentItem.objects.filter( Q(account=account) & ( Q(public=True) |  Q(creator=logged_in_user) ) ).order_by('-last_used')

But these seem to be XOR where if either public, or the creator but not both. Is this expected?
Am I overlooking something? Should I do this directly with mongodb instead of mongoengine?
My current workaround is to make two different queries and combine the results,  but as the # of Content Items gets larger the result is taking a long time to come back because I need to get all items before I can order them, thereby losing all the benefit of (django) paginated results.

A: The mongoengine documentation is apparently incorrect in this case. Instead of using the bitwise operators "&" and "|", you should use the standard operators "and" and "or".
So your first query becomes:
query = ContentItem.objects.filter( (Q(account=account) and Q(public=True)) or  (Q(account=account) and Q(creator=logged_in_user)) ).order_by('-last_used')

A: The correct way to do the query is to use bitwise operations | and & the way you wrote it in your question:
query = ContentItem.objects.filter( (Q(account=account) & Q(public=True)) |  (Q(account=account) & Q(creator=logged_in_user)) ).order_by('-last_used')

Note: using the standard Python boolean operators and and or will not work. This is explained in the MongoEngine documentation.

A: https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/blob/master/tests/queryset/transform.py
from line 134:
def test_raw_query_and_Q_objects(self):
    query = Foo.objects(__raw__={'$nor': [{'name': 'bar'}]})._query
    self.assertEqual(query, {'$nor': [{'name': 'bar'}]})

    q1 = {'$or': [{'a': 1}, {'b': 1}]}
    query = Foo.objects(Q(__raw__=q1) & Q(c=1))._query
    self.assertEqual(query, {'$or': [{'a': 1}, {'b': 1}], 'c': 1})

A: you are probably import the wrong Q
from mongoengine.queryset.visitor import Q as mongo_Q

from django.db.models import Q as normal_Q

A: MongoEngine docs say otherwise. Please check this:

This kind of thing is atrocious and everyone involved deserves to have the book thrown at them. It is a horrendous abuse of human rights, and EXACTLY the reason why we NEED equal rights for gay people when it comes to marriage.
Civil Unions are quite simply not enough. For as long as we have legalised discrimination and bigotry we will have it wrong. The governments who are opposing this are an embarrassment to us, our country, and our species. We need to put an end to this inhumane behaviour now. Equality should be for all, not just for some.
Please, go read Riayn's blog now if you haven't already, and join the cause. There are regular protests, I hope they do nothing but grow until the bigots in charge get the hint that religious bigotry isn't a virtue, it's something to be embarrassed about.
At this point in the fight, I would be happy with civil unions that had the same legal protection as marriage currently does. Yes, the naming is still discriminatory, but we desperately need that legal protection and if we can get that under a different name, so be it.
At the moment we can't even have civil unions in Australia because apparently they "look" like marriage, which would have to be one of the stupidest arguments ever, and the government won't allow gays anything that even looks like marriage. It's a very sad state of affairs in this country if that is deemed an acceptable stance.

The Rediff Election Interview/Arif Mohammad Khan
Seasoned politician Arif Mohammad Khan can quote from the Koran, the Mahabharata or Marx with equal felicity.
Khan first sprang into the limelight when he resigned from Rajiv Gandhi's government in 1986 in protest against the decision to bow to Muslim conservatives and overturn by legislation the Supreme Court's ruling in the historic Shah Bano maintenance case.
An articulate politician from Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh, Khan was seen as a promising young leader who always took a progressive stand, especially on issues like the uniform civil code.
A former president of the Aligarh Muslim University Students Union, Khan became a Member of Parliament, first representing the Congress and then the Bahujan Samaj Party.
He quit the BSP when that party entered into an electoral alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party in Gujarat in 2002. Khan thereafter had a brief dalliance with Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party when the latter quit the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance last year.
Thus it came as a bolt from the blue that the jovial and witty Arifbhai, as he is known, has now decided to join the BJP itself and may even contest the Lok Sabha election as a BJP candidate. Sources say that if the BJP returns to power, Khan is certain to be rewarded with an important�ministerial berth.
In his personal library stocked with a brilliant collection of books on subjects ranging from politics and sociology to history and theology, and with the telephone ringing constantly to congratulate him on joining the BJP, Khan spoke to Ehtasham Khan in an exclusive interview. Excerpts:
All elections are crucial, but the upcoming Lok Sabha poll appears to be one of the most crucial in India's history. Do you agree?
Well, when you say crucial, yes... because India is in a crucial phase of development. Now we are at a stage where everybody is recognising India's potential. In this century, India is going to emerge as one of the developed and advanced nations. New policies have started yielding results.
Some observers say that if the BJP returns to power, it�would mean the people of India have accepted the party's alleged anti-minority policies, or what happened in Gujarat. What is your opinion?
For Gujarat, even the BJP leadership has used very strong words to express their pain and anguish. Not just the prime minister who said, 'I don't know what face I will show to the world.' Even the deputy prime minister said that 'for the last five years we had the cleanest government. But the Gujarat incident has cast a shadow on our work.' And then the recent statement in which the prime minister said that 'in India it is not just the government which is almighty. We have other institutions also. I am glad to say other institutions are working very fast and I am sure that the victims will get justice.' This is a very, very significant statement. If these statements are there, it means that kind of thing [Gujarat-like incidents] is not in their agenda. They also feel there should be no repetition of Gujarat.
Are you sure there will be no repetition of Gujarat?
I don't know. If you talk of the BJP, what is the track record of other parties? Bhagalpur happened not during the BJP's time. Instead, I would like to discuss Gujarat from a different angle.
Please go ahead.
I spent 89 days in Gujarat [during the riots]. And when the [assembly] elections came, I opposed the BJP. I supported the Congress. But with my support what did they deliver? Why didn't they deliver? Because they do not have credibility in the masses. They are seen as a party which has all along flirted with minority communalism. They are seen as a party that showed no compunction in playing the Muslim card in the Shah Bano case. Or playing the Hindu card when they tried to offset the reaction which came as a reaction to the Shah Bano case. And the locks of Ayodhya were opened. They can play the Hindu card or Muslim card or Christian card. So their credibility to fight and contain communalism has been eroded.
Politicians and political parties merely reflect and articulate the trends which are prevailing in society. You can blame any individual, you can blame the BJP for whatever happened in Gujarat, but what will you say about the secular Congress and its president Sonia Gandhi when she goes to Gujarat and then under the advice of her colleagues refuses to visit the house of Ehsan Jafri [the former Congress MP who was killed by rioters] to offer condolences to the victim's family? I am not making the charge that the Congress president became communal. But she certainly succumbed to societal pressure.
So which is the lesser evil for the minorities, the BJP or the Congress?
It is not a question of lesser evil, [of] what Congress did in 1986 and the communalism that came as its reaction. What we are discussing are merely symptoms. The disease is the communalism that has taken deep roots in the minds of the people. And the Congress has simply become impotent. By compromising on secularism it has lost its potency to fight communalism.
Now for them [the Congress], it is a question of gaining political power. For me, it is not a question of giving political support. I am seeing the oppressive situation of my people. They are living under oppression. I am not just talking of governmental oppression. I am talking about the oppressive environment when two neighbours are not on talking terms. When there is total communication gap between the two communities. A Hindu is suspecting his Muslim neighbour, that he is a terrorist, and a Muslim is afraid.
I am not coming to the BJP with a political agenda. I have come to the conclusion like Sir Syed [Ahmed Khan, the Muslim reformer and educationist who founded the Aligarh Muslim University] had come to the conclusion in 1857 that it is not possible for you to fight the British because they are much superior to you in all aspects. Therefore he [Sir Sayed] said instead of fighting, befriend them, learn, overcome your drawbacks, and then see if you can create goodwill. Likewise, today I feel the same thing after having spent so much time in Gujarat.
Therefore, by creating an association with the Sangh Parivar, who in my opinion have the capability today, I want to normalise the situation.
The Sangh Parivar has the capability to do what?
Capability [a long pause] to bridge the divide which is currently existing in society.
You mean the Sangh Parivar wants to bridge the gap and you want to help them?
Arif Mohammad Khan wants to persuade them. I don't want to tell you all those things that they have told me because then people would think I am speaking on their behalf at election time. I am convinced that there is some willingness on their part. I am convinced that if I create goodwill with them, then their offices can be used to bridge this gap.
You will be contesting this election?
I have no political intention. I have told them [the BJP] I don't want to [contest]. In fact I have told them that it would be much more effective campaigning if I am sent to Gujarat [to campaign]. I am interested in working for the Sangh Parivar.
What will you do if the BJP gives you a ticket?
I will accept their wishes, but they will also have to consider what I want.
Why only the BJP?
I have supported the Congress and they failed. I have no option. I want to tell the parties that have created a stereotype of Muslims and used them as block votes. I want to tell them we are like any other human beings. Please try to normalise the situation because we have been used by these parties as block votes for a long time.
Secondly, I ask you, people don't have freedom to choose in a democracy?
Of course, you have the freedom to join any party.
No... the kind of atmosphere that has been created [by my decision to join the BJP]. The Congress knows that this group of people cannot go to the other party. Whatever treatment the Congress gave me, I had no option. Should we not try to create a situation where two-three options are available?
You were president of the AMU Students Union...
[Interrupts] So what?
I too was a student there and I understand that people had a lot of expectations from you as a young, dynamic, forward-looking Muslim leader. You have always taken a progressive stand. Now you have joined a party that has been held responsible for the Gujarat riots, for saffronisation of education, and other allegedly anti-minority policies. In such circumstances, you have changed sides. Don't you think your community would feel cheated?
You are talking of the AMU, then it was founded by Sir Syed who was described for more than 30 years as kafir, mulhit, zindique [Arabic expressions for a non-believer in Allah and Islam]. There were 18 fatwas [Islamic edicts] against Sir Syed. Should I live by the example of Sir Syed or should I live by the example of those who have imaginary ideas?
But ordinary Muslims...
[Interrupts again] What ordinary Muslims? Did he [Sir Syed] care about ordinary Muslims? Should he be my source of inspiration or ordinary people? Tell me! There were people who went to Mecca and Medina to bring a fatwa against Sir Syed. For 30 years, he was described as an apostate, as a non-Muslim, as an enemy of Islam. And after 30 years, he became Rahmatullah Alaih [blessed by Allah].
That's okay but...
What okay?
Criticising or opposing the Congress is one thing, but joining and working for the BJP is different.
Today I have no political agenda. I am convinced the Congress does not have the capability to fight those whom it describes as communal forces. I have come to�a conclusion after looking at Gujarat. I want to do something. Today the only option available to me is that if I can create some goodwill with them [the BJP and the Sangh Parivar], if I can win their confidence, if I can convince them not to treat me and people of different religions differently. That is the only thing.
What attracted you to the BJP and not to any other party?
You have not visited Gujarat. You are doing an academic discussion and indulging in journalistic quibbling. You want to see things in black and white. If you visit Gujarat, you will understand the pain, the situation. Then you will realise.
In Islamic terminology, there is a term, istarari halaat. It means a situation when you are faced with death or great crisis and you have no way out. In such a situation, you are allowed to do things that are forbidden. If you are suffering from a disease and you have to take a medicine having alcohol, you can do it.
If secular parties can adopt a soft Hindutva line, why can I not make friends with Hindutva?
Even if the Ram temple is on their agenda, even if they are going ahead with the saffronisation of education...
I am saying it is all there. The Congress is adopting a soft Hindutva line and you are supporting the Congress.
I am not supporting or opposing anybody here.
By you I mean Muslims. So the Congress can adopt a soft Hindutva line, but I can't persuade them [the BJP] to look at things from my perspective. The Ram temple is on their [BJP's] agenda. Shall I tell you what [the late] Ali Mian Nadvi [former president of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board and renowned Islamic scholar] had said? Shall I tell you what Rajiv Gandhi had said? This was a package deal during the Shah Bano case. You will get a court order changed under public pressure.
Fawayl-ul-il mutaf-fa-feen. In the Koranic verses, those who adopt double standards have been condemned.
You are talking of saffronisation of education. You know how many allegations have been made during 50 years of Congress rule for saffronisation of education? The entire Muslim leadership was accusing the Congress of saffronisation of education. Our perspectives change with time.
Give me the name of one individual who claims to be the leader of Muslims who visited Gujarat during the riots. Give me one name. Politicians who claim to champion Muslim interest.
Zubandarazi ne sab satyanas kiya hai. Zubandarazi ke peeche kuch bhi nahi hai [Hollow discussions have destroyed everything. There is nothing behind these discussions.]
You give me one name. Syed Shahabuddin [former diplomat, MP and member of the AIMPLB] went there. Did any Muslim Congress leader go there?
I went to Gujarat when not just the smoke but the fire was alive. I cannot take an academic stand. I cannot keep analysing and diagnosing. I have to describe some remedy. I have supported the Congress. This remedy failed. Shall I try an alternative remedy or shall I just sit with folded hands?
Your stand in support of the uniform civil code has been praised...
But that is why I have been described as a kafir.
That was a small section...
That was not a small section. The Muslim Personal Law Board is not a small section. The Congress party has made them the representative of Muslims.
Young Muslims who are getting educated and entering the mainstream see you as a progressive leader. So what will be your stand on the uniform civil code now? Will you go with the Sangh Parivar version?
The�BJP has repeatedly said, repeatedly, that the uniform civil code is not on their agenda. Recently I read a report in which a senior BJP leader said that even if tomorrow there is a broad consensus this can't be an imposition. This can only be something as a code which drives the best of all codes. I can comment on it only when a draft is there. Imaginary fears will not help anyone.
There is an impression that the BJP is trying to open its gates for the minorities. What do you think?
My action [of joining the BJP] is a reply to your question. I can't speak on behalf of the BJP.
Do you think there is a change in their hearts and minds?
I don't want to say what they have told me because then you will say I am doing propaganda on their behalf. But I will tell you that there is some willingness on their part and they have assured me.
And you trust their assurances?
One should trust Allah. And one should trust himself. The situation in which we are placed, you will have to trust people. You immediately jump to a conclusion because you are a journalist and in journalism there is no gray area. You will either paint somebody in black or in white. Because unless there is some sensation, it does not make news. I am not a journalist.
By giving unconditional support, I want to surrender myself to the BJP and the Sangh Parivar. I will describe it as surrender. Because I don't see the capability to fight them. The Congress is totally devoid of capabilities. I want to win the confidence of the party that today enjoys the confidence of the majority.
Please try to understand my pain and my feelings. I have lived the tragedy of Gujarat.
Maybe I will fail. But should I not try? They have assured me.
When they are in government, they know that this divide between communities can never be a blessing for any nation. I want to bridge the gap.
Do you think politics has the capability to bridge the gap between communities in a society?
I do not know. But if something is not existing in society, should we not try to do it?
How do you see yourself politically after the Lok Sabha election? In Parliament, in the Cabinet...
I don't know. I am an ordinary worker. You see the potential in me.

Could Your Emoji Use Land You in Court?
Philip Bates May 30, 2017 30-05-2017 6 minutes
In the early 2000s, many people despaired at the use of text speak — replacing "you're" with "ur", changing "to" into "2", and dropping punctuation entirely to speed up typing and save precious space. Thankfully capacitive touchscreens, cheap data and autocorrect helped us break this bad habit.
And soon another form of self-expression unveiled itself Emoticon vs. Emoji: The Key Differences Explained Emoticon vs. Emoji: The Key Differences Explained You know what an emoticon is, but what about an emoji? Thought they were the same? Here's how to tell emoticons and emoji apart. Read More : emoticons, which have now evolved into emoji. Today, most of us use them haphazardly without knowing what some of them mean.
It turns out that picking the wrong emoji might land you a date in court, at least if we take a recent case in Israel as an example.
An Israeli couple were interested in renting a property via classified adverts site, Yad2, and so exchanged messages via WhatsApp The Best New WhatsApp Features You Might Have Missed The Best New WhatsApp Features You Might Have Missed WhatsApp is constantly adding new features. We identify and track the best new features added to WhatsApp over the years. Read More with the landlord for a few days. The first of these enquired about the house but asked for further details, alongside a series of emoji, including dancing women and a champagne bottle. The landlord, Yaniv Dahan, thought a deal was done and took down the advert, only for the couple to stop responding to messages.
So far, so familiar. This sort of thing that happens everywhere, whether it's something substantial like a rental or smaller deals carried out on auction sites Computer Auctions And Why eBay May Not Be Your Only Option Computer Auctions And Why eBay May Not Be Your Only Option For most of us it's the only online auction site that matters, but if you're browsing through ebay to find great deals on computers, you may be better off using an alternative auction platform.

Except this particular landlord, who filed a lawsuit against the couple, claiming the messages were essentially a statement of intent. The pair were forced to pay 14,500 Israeli shekels (around $4,030), partly due to their use of emoji, after their communications were deemed "misleading" by the judge, who explained:
"The combination of these — the festive icons at the beginning of the negotiations, which created much reliance with the prosecutor, and those smileys at the end of the negotiations, which misled the Plaintiff to think the defendants were still interested in his apartment — support the conclusion that the defendants acted in bad faith in the negotiations."
The pair, Yarden Rosen and Nir Haim Saharoff, said they were concerned with the property's condition and so went elsewhere to rent. Dahan, meanwhile, did find someone else to rent the house.
It Can't Be That Simple, Can It?
Well, no. Rosen's messages very much read like statements of intent from one perspective. They claimed to be putting their possessions in storage, so Dahan then asked about signing the contract on a Tuesday. Rosen replied:
"Tuesday we're moving the apartment. Maybe Wednesday? By then Nir will have corrected the contract :)"
It's hardly a binding contract, but you can see where the landlord was coming from.
Judge Amir Weizebbluth, however, specifically addressed the use of emoji as an indication of intent, not solely the original SMS but also the continued use of smileys:
"Indeed, this negotiation's parties' ways of expression may take on different forms, and today, in modern times, the use of the "emoji" icons may also have a meaning that indicates the good faith of the side to the negotiations. The [emoji-laden] text message sent by Defendant 2 [Rosen] on June 5, 2016, was accompanied by quite a few symbols, as mentioned. These included a "smiley", a bottle of champagne, dancing figures and more. These icons convey great optimism."
It's a jaw-dropping statement. Does this foreshadow an era where the significance of emoji increases? Or is this a case blown out of proportion?
? Man in Business Suit Levitating replaced his business blue tie with a skinny black tie in the latest Twemoji update pic.twitter.com/4sf9JE1d1e
It's not the first time the use of emoji has ended up in a court case. In 2015, 17-year-old Osiris Aristy was arrested for threatening the police using emoji in Facebook messages. In an obvious example, he paired an emoji of a police officer with a gun. Some argue this was merely an expression of anti-authoritarianism while others see it as more threatening, considering Aristy's record of assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
What Do Emoji Mean to You?
Smilies, emoticons, and now emoji rose to prominence as a way of implying tone. It's difficult to convey sarcasm and implied context online. Emoji are there as a form of self-expression, perhaps reassuring someone you're joking, mean something in a friendly way, or reaffirm that you're angry. Generally, they're a force for good. It's a way to show body language without actually being there in person.
You may understand why the landlord inferred a statement of intent, even if it's not a firm agreement. You may also disagree that non-written communication can imply intent in such a manner
Emoji can mean different things to different people. In that context, the most meaningful emoji is the champagne bottle — a celebration of an event, like moving house. The dancing ladies, less so. Indeed, Bradley Shear, a lawyer specializing in social media law, says:
"There's all these different variations, and so what one emoji may mean to one person may mean something slightly different to another."
Emoticons were fairly plain and obvious, but can you say with certainty Do You Use Wrong Emojis? Take This Quiz to Know the Meanings Do You Use Wrong Emojis? Take This Quiz to Know the Meanings Emojis are now a part of everyday conversation for you. But are you using them correctly? Test yourself with the quizzes and tools. Read More what the sinister smiling clown face is supposed to convey? What cultural significance does the floating business man hold? In light of this case in Israel, the more pertinent question might be, what meanings might you convey without intending to? And then there are cultural differences between countries, where one symbol could have a very different meaning depending on who is reading it.
Fortunately, the only legal examples we've seen also have wider contexts that have been taken into consideration. Yarden Rosen's messages appeared to show further interest, even planning when a contract were to be signed. Osiris Aristy's police record was taken into account when he used the "gun" (now a water pistol) next to "police".
In these cases, emoji evidence was used to support text, not held as examples in isolation.
Language and Lawsuits
But language adapts, that's why we have emoji in the first place. If they are a universal language Can Emoji Transcend Language Boundaries? Can Emoji Transcend Language Boundaries? Will the connected age help us move beyond language as we know it? Some people think that emoji could revolutionize how we communicate. Let's take a look. Read More , they could be used to threaten. Why else would Apple have changed the gun emoji to a water pistol just last year? It was, arguably, used in a threatening manner in Aristy's instance, but it's more widely used alongside a head signifying a sarcastic "shoot me now".
Nonetheless, you'll notice a knife and a bomb as other options. Apple can't scrap them altogether because it's simply not up to the company. The Unicode Consortium is an organization aiming to enable people to understand computers in any language The Basics Of Computer Programming 101 - Variables And DataTypes The Basics Of Computer Programming 101 - Variables And DataTypes Having introduced and talked a little about Object Oriented Programming before and where its namesake comes from, I thought it's time we go through the absolute basics of programming in a non-language specific way. This... Read More . It also creates and maintains the library of emoji.
Once Unicode decide what to include in an emoji keyboard, it's down to operating systems to determine how to visualize them. That means that Apple opts for the water pistol, whereas Android displays a firearm.
This does at least demonstrate that Apple takes its emoji very seriously. Similarly, in May 2016, Microsoft joined Apple to block Unicode's proposal to include a rifle emoji in its ninth version; due to their combined weight, you won't find a rifle in your keyboard.
Beyond discussion of emoji, it's also worrying that such instances can result in court rulings. Is it a sign that society is becoming blasé about suing others for seemingly-minor concerns? In Yarden Rosen's case, someone did rent the property, so the landlord didn't lose any cash. In a more comical example, a man sued his date for texting during a cinema screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. It caused some laughter online, and even director James Gunn joined in on the debate, but it is indicative of a worrying trend.
What Should You Take From This?
Don't get carried away with your emoji, at least not when talking to someone on a professional level. It's doubtful your emoji will be used against you, but ambiguity is rarely a good thing in such negotiations. It can also be construed as amateurish.
If you're using them solely when chatting to mates, you're probably okay to carry on as usual. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on how this evolving language develops further.
Has an emoji ever got you in hot water? What's the most confusing emoji in your keyboard? And just how often do you send the "poop" icon to someone?

"What Should You Take From This?"
The moral of the story is that when conducting business, one should use language meant for business, not one meant for the twits on Twitter.
All parties to this debacle came out looking like morons. The couple for trying to be cutsy and using emojis. The landlord for misinterpreting the emojis and the judge for making a federal case out of it. Salomon must be spinning in his grave.

Venezuela: Teenage Girls Turn to Prostitution to Fight Starvation
Alvaro Fuente/NurPhoto via Getty Images
Ben Kew
Growing numbers of young girls in Venezuela are selling their bodies for sex in exchange for food as the crisis-stricken country's humanitarian crisis continues to worsen.
A report from the American Spanish-language channel Telemundo recounts a 13-year-old girl's experience of the sex trade.
"Neither my mother nor my father can give me the things I need, such as food or school necessities," the girl said.
"Now what we need is food, you know, you wake up with nothing to eat," another child prostitute said. "I've been two weeks just eating plantains and with nothing—boiled plantains, fried plantains, boiled plantains, with nothing. So what am I going to do? Get to work."
Oscar Misle, the director of the CECODAP, an organization seeking to prevent child abuse, said that approximately 45,000 young people had been forced to give up their ambitions to work as sex slaves or child prostitutes.
The number of Venezuelans selling sex has risen exponentially in recent years, as people are forced into the industry as a means of survival. Women charge between 80,000 to 160,000 bolivares, the equivalent of two to four dollars an hour, although some can be found for under a dollar.
Thousands of young women have also fled the country to sell sex at higher rates elsewhere, primarily in neighboring Colombia, leading to a huge increase in human trafficking activity.
The growing levels of famine have also led to other extraordinary incidents of people searching for food, including cannibalism, eating stray dogs, and stealing zoo animals in order to feed themselves.
Socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro recently proposed the introduction of rabbit farming across many of the country's major cities and has launched a campaign aiming to change people's perception towards the animals by considering them as meat rather than animals.
The country's chronic lack of products has led to the term "Maduro diet," although government officials have denied shortages exist. An annual survey on Venezuelan living conditions released in May found that nearly 75 percent of people lost an average of 19 pounds as a result of malnutrition in the past year. 82 percent of households live in poverty.
These figures are rapidly worsening amid continued economic meltdown and skyrocketing rates of inflation. According to latest exchange rates, Venezuela's monthly minimum wage of 97,500 bolivars is now down to $2.37, equivalent to just over one cent an hour.

How to make an Immobility Gun
Everyone knows how when there is a big enough vibration, say a 3.0 to 4.0 earthquake, it gets hard to stand. Well my question is, could it be possible to create a weapon that, when pointed at a target, will make the ground under the target vibrate to the point where it gets hard to stand, thus immobilizing any biological targets in the area. And no, it won't vibrate that fast, otherwise we'ed have a "Flash Gun." (The ground would vibrate so fast that the target would fall through the ground)
Some other questions:
If this is possible, how big would it be?
Could it be compacted, into say, a gauntlet?
Would it be possible to create a countermeasure for the gun or gauntlet?

$\begingroup$ paralyzing may not be the right word - it makes it seem as if you want a ray that both shakes the ground and blocks nerve signals. Unless that's what you intend, but otherwise "immobilizing" or "confusing" would be more apt. $\endgroup$ – Zxyrra Dec 23 '16 at 22:50

$\begingroup$ When there was a road paving project in front of my parents house they blasted a ledge about 50 feet from the door. They removed a 18*10*30 foot area of ledge. They had a seismograph next to the foundation, which recorded a low 3 on the Richter scale. So that's a lot of blasting gear just to knock someone off their feet. A grenade would probably be much cheaper. $\endgroup$ – Josiah Dec 24 '16 at 3:29

Sounds interesting, lets take a shot.
Ok so the idea is to vibrate the ground underneath the target to the point where they are unable to stand properly.
Using your research it would require a 3 to 4 richter earthquake to cause this to be effective.
So, you need to create a localised earthquake of up to richter 4 in order to destabalize a person to the point where they cannot stand easily.
So far, I'd say potentially not possible, however ima go with it anyway, it sounds cool.
Initial thoughts: - Not going to be widely useable. If you were to use this in a populated place the area of effect would probably cause a lot of collateral damage, probably damaging property and possibly actually hurting people, which based on your question is not the intention. It would likely be limited to use in open unpopulated areas, meaning it is not widely deployable.
Not going to be easy. Maybe if you were to use ultrasound or possibly just a giant hammer hitting the ground, you could POSSIBLY make a richter 4 earthquake - don't quote me on that I haven't researched that part - so I'm thinking a large machine designed to hit the ground super hard and cause an earthquake around it (sketch included later).
Not going to be remote. I think if you were to use ultrasound, it may not be effective, and could run the risk of harming the people around it, as you would have to use frequencies low enough to affect the ground. Something like a large hammer would be more effective I think.
Here I'll include a sketch if I can:
Ok so terrible sketch included, this would be my idea.
My thought process is that this is parachuted in or something and dropped into a warzone. This would initially cause an impact, staggering nearby enemies, but the main purpose of this drop is to set the machine in place so it does not fall over etc. The hammer would then raise (or maybe it would be raised before drop) and would drop as hard as it can (maybe with weights attached etc) and create as heavy an impact as possible, I'm not sure what kind of impact you would need to make that kind of scale of impact, I'm better at ideas than actual straight up calculations but hey, I'm sure you could do it.
The impact would then cause a short but intense shockwave, easily staggering everyone nearby depending on scale of the hammer impact.
As for specifically your idea of a continuous earthquake, I don't think it would be possible.
Then for the miniaturising of this, again no idea, maybe a sort of gauntlet with rocket boosters, similar to the Gypsy Danger Pacific Rim rocket punch, but the impact would likely be far less in terms of magnitude, and the shock reverberating back at the user could cause serious damage to the user I'm not sure, I don't have the knowledge to give you an accurate prediction there.
Just as a pointer, yes there are no numbers in this, I apologise, I don't have the expertise to give you the accurate data, but this could be a good method, even if there are no numbers to back it up YET (may add more if I can).

It might be possible, in a way. Sonic weapons are real. But it won't work the way you envisioned.
Sure, you can make things shake. But well before the ground will start to shake, you will be directly shaking bones of your victim. No one will use more energy than actually needed, so they'll stop at that.
How big would these weapons be? Current ones are vehicle mounted and that's probably not going to change - you need size comparable with the wavelength you want to create, and infrasound wavelength is in the 10 meters order of magnitude. No feasible way around it, not as far as we know.
Please note that weapons that cause unneeded suffering may violate Geneva Conventions of 1977. Breaking someone's legs when you can just shot him with sleep drug probably would count as such. Using your weapon would make user a war criminal... or would require effective lift of torture ban. Either way, consequences would be serious.

$\begingroup$ Excuse me, but how many of the Geneva conventions has Geneva actually enforced? $\endgroup$ – Xandar The Zenon Dec 24 '16 at 3:15
$\begingroup$ Many of the Geneva Conventions are actually enforced, on a very regular basis, and a good deal more never need enforcing because of a general agreement to avoid activities that would place them in violation. They were the basis of convictions for lots of actions in Yugoslavia, for example. Lots of small countries get policed by them. Applying them against Guantanmo Bay or against Russian invasion of Ukraine is harder, but just because there are exceptions doesn't mean they aren't enforced at all. @XandarTheZenon $\endgroup$ – SRM Dec 24 '16 at 4:28
$\begingroup$ @SRM I'm just pointing out that the Geneva conventions have (I believe) never been enforced on a government in power, unless by a specific, stronger nation. So it's much less important that it is against the Geneva conventions than that apowerful nation would disapprove. $\endgroup$ – Xandar The Zenon Dec 24 '16 at 5:41
$\begingroup$ What is important is that it is against the Convention -- whether it is enforced or not. That's the point of the Convention. $\endgroup$ – SRM Dec 24 '16 at 6:27
$\begingroup$ @XandarTheZenon Geneva doesn't enforce the Geneva Conventions. Geneva was just where the meeting was held to decide on the rules. The United Nations enforces them. $\endgroup$ – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Dec 27 '17 at 19:34
This would be an exceedingly difficult weapon to build as it would have to be able to send a shockwave over a large area. If you were to build one following your sketch you would have to take into account the ground density. weather the surface it is placed could disperse the vibrations effectively and the sheer forced required to make the ground shake enough to measure moderately on the richter scale. A more mainstream way of creating a simulated earthquake would be to detonate a high powered explosive deep beneath the surface of the earth (Which would be hard enough on it's own).
However if you just wanted to create a weapon that could safely immobilize an enemy couldn't you just use a taser. But if you wanted to immobilize a large group of enemies all you need to do is create a sort of lightning rod with enough electricity going through to make it arc towards any nearby object. Although it couldn't be put into practical military use it would be an effective way of immobilization.
Or if you had enough power (Politically And Physically) you could create a forced earthquake by simply pushing tectonic plates towards each other. by using pistons and stuff. (It would be a really cool futuristic war weapon and really expensive)
You could also set off an explosive mid-air. Like when you watch fireworks you feel yourself/The ground shake. You could easily recreate that but on a much larger scale.

Home Bangladesh STEP AIUB Photography Contest 2019
STEP AIUB Photography Contest 2019
Photography is one of the most popular forms of practiced art in Bangladesh. Photographers of the caliber of Manzoor Alam Beg, Shahidul Alam, or Golam Mostofa are talked about, applauded or awarded. They produce photographs that inspire us and touch our hearts through various rhymes or reasons. But there have surely been many other photographers too – those whose works have not received critical fame or plaudit. Perhaps their works were never exposed in the right manner or of the highest standard as set by these aforementioned legends. Yet, there remain a lot of other people – amateur photographers – who do possess a passion for photography but suffer from either a lack of systematic guidance, adequate exposure, or both.
Amateur photographers deserve some attention and exposure to showcase their talent. Thus, in December 2019, Step Footwear organized a photography contest for all the amateur photographers within the AIUB student body. The main objective of the contest was to expose their creative skills when challenged with the topic of creating meaningful content through product photography.
The Photography Contest was held in 3 rounds. On the first round, 100 students registered online and submitted their best photographs. The subject was kept open to them and from these submissions an expert panel shortlisted the top 30 photographers for the second Round, where they submitted 3 photographs in 3 categories.
Lifestyle, Fashion and Macro, featuring a given set of 3 pairs of shoes. From these photographs, the panel again shortlisted to the top 10 for the final round for which the participants were required to submit 3 photographs in 3 Categories – Lifestyle, Fashion Conceptual. These participants were then invited to Step Head Office to select products as per their choosing and get one on one guidance on product photography by Step's Marketing experts.
Finally, the third-round winners of the Photography Contest were announced on the prize-giving ceremony held at AIUB Premises on December 11, 2019. 3 prizes were given to the best photographers in each of the 3 categories. Mohammad Nihal Nahyan was the winner of the conceptual category. For fashion category Sabbir Shikdar Orid became the winner. And Faiaz Ben Reza became the winner of lifestyle category. They are all from the Computer Science and Engineering department. Also, they are all members of AIUB Photography Club. All the winner received goodies, coupons and privilege membership of Step Footwear.
Congratulations to all the winners. The Event was attended by a special guest – Mr. Golam Mostofa, Ex-Director of BTV cinematography – who applauded the efforts of the young amateur photographers and provided them inspiration for future prosperity. Also present were Prof. Dr. Charles C. Villanueva, Vice President, Academics; Dean, Faculty of Business Administration, AIUB, Mr. Prasanna Andaraweera, COO, Step group of industries, Mr. Wahedur Rahman, General manager, Step Group of Industries, Mr. Zahid-Ul-Hasan, Manager, Business Development, Step Group of Industries and winners of the contest.
Prof. Dr. Charles C. Villanueva was very happy for the effort shown by his students and encouraged Step and the AIUB photography club to be more proactive and create such events in the future as well in order to stimulate growth and development.

Paramus residents want protection for centuries-old home
Jun.June 28, 2011 02:06 PM
As Paramus continues to be overrun with shiny new retail developments, an old home constructed by one of Bergen County's founding families is in jeopardy of being razed, the New York Times reported. The home at 273 Dunkerhook Road in Paramus, which was built by the Zabriskies in 1790, is the best remaining example of early Dutch stone houses, according to a county historical survey, and its facade remains in place. But the current owner is an elderly woman, Margaret Horton, who needs the income so she can move to an assisted-living facility, and the prospective buyer, developer Sal Petruzzella, wants to demolish the house and build two new homes there. Though the property is landmarked, the Paramus historic preservation zone does not have the strict guidelines that exist in New York City, and simply requires a six-month waiting period before demolishing a historic property so that other options can be explored. Petruzzella insists he has abided by all the local historic property procedure and wants to move on with his plans. But the Times said residents don't want a piece of their town's history destroyed, and complain that the city needs to devise ways to better protect important buildings. [NYT]

Nature's finest, A USW student success story
By aleplum on April 8, 2022 • ( Leave a comment )
The University of South Wales has been lucky enough to have successful students come out of it. One of those students is Tom Campbell, who now works as a wildlife lighting and camera person.
On a wildlife shoot in Glenshee-Scotland
Tom started by studying photography, generic photography, as he describes it. In the beginning he wanted to do portrait photography and during the course he discovered a love for Natural History photography, which he didn't know he had.
People discover their passions in different ways, it doesn't necessarily have to be the first path you chose, or that path could have different paths to chose from. Tom thought he wanted to be a photographer, until he was asked to do a photo documentary about 20 different people out in the streets in Cardiff.
"I was absolutely petrified about doing that" says Tom about the daunting experience. "It brings you out of your shell. And I was quite shy at the time. You might go out on a shoot with a crew of four or five people who have never met before and suddenly spend a month with them. So those kinds of people skills are really important. So to push yourself out of that shell and go and say hi, I'm so and so I'm doing photography projects at university. Would you mind if I take a portrait of you and find that the majority of people say yes? I thought everyone would just turn me down and it would just be an absolutely soul destroying project. But no. Most people said yes, and then it became exciting".
Flexibility and the ability to adapt is very important in any field you want to be successful in. Tom was able to put himself out there in a situation he didn't feel particularly comfortable in, and the outcome pushed him in the direction of what became his professional path.
Filming in the Cairngorms
Tom likes to say that "Andy (Pearsall) and Tim (Collier) were my main guys". Lecturers are a very key part in any student's success and Tom is an example of this as well. Tim supported him in terms of documentary wildlife while Andy supported him in terms of the digital side of things. Lecturers are here to help and support us students, and USW has great lecturers. don't be shy and ask for the help you need. There are people who would love to help you out with anything, even if we may forget so. Taking advantage of the tips or support you get is what can make the difference between becoming a success story and just sail by.
Filming in Cambodia for BBC'sOur Changing Planet
According to Tom, there's several ways to get into wildlife filmmaking, before people would sort of fall into it, but nowadays there's such a movement for wildlife filmmaking, it has become a popular thing, there's a lot of people who are passionate about it. Tom's recommendation is "try to stand out in a crowd, essentially. The best thing you can do is discover what you're passionate about, discover what sort of filmmaker you want to be. The best way of doing that is to make film". He says it may be obvious, but every film you make, you get better. Make a film and ask people for opinions ask "could you watch my film? I'd love to get your opinion" "what do you say about the narrative?" "what could I do better in terms of constructing this story?" "what could I do better in terms of camera techniques?" "what could i do better in terms of editing".
There's a lot to take in consideration while making a film, wildlife or otherwise, and it's good to get people's opinion because in the end you want them to see your films. Lastly, Tom says the more films you make, the better you become and the more aware of it you are. Recently, Tom worked on a project called our Changing Planet which is a show coming out in April 24th.

Creative writing and finding self-expression can be hard at such a young age, so why not let your children express themselves with something fun and interactive: comic books!
Comic books seem to serve as an effective gateway to some kids who tend to struggle to embrace creative writing. This avenue allows them to express themselves and think outside of the box when writing their own stories. From building characters and plots, to deciding on graphics and dialogue, comic books allow self-expression and freedom in their writing. It'll enhance a child's reading and writing skills, as well as give them the little confidence boost they need to keep expressing themselves!
Building your own comic book is an adventure in itself and gives your kids the opportunity to create something with their own two hands. However, this project isn't like any other handmade craft. Not only will your kids be able to exercise their imagination, they'll become their own comic book creator, just like their role models that provided them with heroic stories like The Amazing of Spider-Man and Star Wars.
No matter the genre, (superheroes, sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, adventure, etc.) the story your child creates will be entirely their own. They will work on developing compositions, layouts and narrations and at the end they'll have built their very own comic book.
At Hunakai Studio of Fine Arts Foxborough, we have the perfect opportunity for your kids to create a comic book of their own! The class lasts a full week and there are two different sessions you can choose from to attend this summer. Give us a call at 508-543-5665 today for more information on our comic book kids class!

Catherine (Psychology, '10)
Phonathon donations add up to make a big difference
Every fall, Joan Hughes (Art and Design, '85) receives a phone call from a Cal Poly student.
These calls give her a chance to stay connected to her alma mater and give back to the program that taught her the poise to handle any art project she encounters.
Hughes made her first donation to the university five years after she graduated while she was working for a packaging design firm in Los Angeles. She has supported the Art and Design Department through the Cal Poly Fund nearly every year since then.
Hughes remembers her first project in the department fondly — it was the first time she had ever built something on her own. "That's the beauty of Cal Poly," she said. "They give you a project that seems daunting, but you plug away and you eventually get it."
For Hughes, the encouragement of her classmates made any challenge seem surmountable. "I spent a lot of time in a lab with other people, and I hope students today feel the same camaraderie I did," she said. "We were all working on our own thing, but it felt like we were a team because we would collaborate, and we were all rooting for each other."
Hughes' history of giving shows she is still rooting for Cal Poly art and design students. Ongoing contributions like hers are critical to the success of the department. Her gifts over the years have helped to host guest speakers, provide special Learn by Doing opportunities for students, and purchase the latest equipment so students are up to date and the department can maintain its accreditation with the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
"Most recently, the department used funds to send Paige Ruonala, a graduating senior with a graphic design concentration, to the Motion Design Educational Summit, where she presented an informational video she had created using motion graphics," said Giancarlo Fiorenza, chair of the Art and Design Department. "She was able to discuss her work with experts in the field, and her video was selected for a Judge's Choice award."
Hughes is grateful for the reminder call she gets each year. "Gifts of all sizes add up to make a big difference," she said. "Together, we are helping to create the next generation of creative people who will come up with the next great idea."
True Calling
Abigail Fuad comes from a family of Cal Poly Phonathon student callers — with two siblings and two cousins having worked the phones before her. "They always talked about how great the experience was, so I knew I wanted to try when I got to campus," said Fuad. On each call, she likes to learn about the person on the other end of the line. "It's fun to hear their stories. I've had cool conversations with interesting people, and I've learned a lot." She also enjoys guiding people through areas to give and helping them designate their gifts to departments or funds they are passionate about. Phonathon callers can take payment over the phone or mail donors pledge forms. "It's a pretty simple process," said Fuad. "Afterward, we write the individuals we talk to a personal thank-you note."

I was using WINSCP.net library and when I tried to calculate the checksum value for a file at the sftp server, it can't and throws an exception as operation not supported. I have mentioned the algorithm as sha-1 and the code used is shown below.
There are no problem at sftp server as I can download the files and access them very well.
Have I done anything wrong over there.
Please help me on this and let me know how to fix this.
Re: SessionRemoteException: Operation not supported.
WinSCP does not download the file to calculate the checksum locally. It asks the server to calculate it remotely. But your SFTP server does not support "check-file" SFTP extension.
