More Than A Dozen Researchers And Professors At US Universities Have Been Arrested For Ties To The Chinese Government

More than a dozen students, researchers, and professors at American universities have been arrested in the last year on charges related to lying about their ties with the Chinese government, often while accepting US-taxpayer-funded grants.
The Justice Department has focused much effort on investigating individuals with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who use their positions on American campuses to benefit Beijing, often by recruiting talent or stealing intellectual property. Between 2019 and 2020, at least 14 people were arrested on related charges.
While some suspects were investigated and charged in 2019, escalating tensions with China in 2020 appeared to ramp up efforts to hold these individuals accountable.
In August, a Chinese official accused the U.S. of monitoring and harassing Chinese students and researchers at American campuses. Sanctions placed on Chinese entities —such as the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a paramilitary group which operates much of the economy in Xinjiang and allegedly orchestrated the persecution of minorities — also inflamed tension.
"For some time, the U.S., with ideological prejudice, keeps monitoring, harassing and willfully detaining Chinese students and researchers, and making presumptions of guilt against Chinese researchers," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in early August.
These are the individuals who work or study at colleges across the U.S. who've had ties to the Chinese government and have been charged with crimes related to their concealed affiliation.
Haizhou Hu: A researcher at the University of Virginia who was arrested while trying to board a plane to China with allegedly stolen research was charged with federal crimes, including theft of trade secrets, in late August 2020. Hu, a Chinese national, roused the suspicions of authorities after a routine screening at Chicago's O'Hare Airport Aug. 25 as he was trying to board a flight to China.
Guan Lei: A Chinese national who was a researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles was charged with destroying evidence to obstruct an FBI investigation. Lei was in the U.S. on a J-1 non-immigrant visa. Lei allegedly threw a hard drive into a dumpster near his resident on July 25. The FBI recovered the hard drive after Leiwas not allowed to board a flight to China and didn't allow the FBI to examine his computer.
Song Guo Zheng: A professor and researcher with ties to multiple American universities was arrested for hiding ties with the Chinese government and using federal funding to carry out research and recruit talent for China. Zheng was arrested in Anchorage May 22 while trying to board a flight to China. Zheng allegedly lied about his ties with China to his employers at the National Institutes of Health, and accepted taxpayer-funded grants, according to the statement. Zheng is listed as a former professor or researcher in the medical schools of multiple universities, including Penn State University and the Ohio State University. The Ohio State University confirmed to the Daily Caller that Zheng was an employee of the university at the time of his arrest and was put on unpaid leave as the university proceeds toward termination.

Dr. Xiao-Jiang Li: A former Emory University professor who pleaded guilty in May to charges of filing false tax returns after accepting at least $500,000 in Chinese government funding that he never reported on federal income tax returns. From 2012 to 2018, Li did not report at least $500,000 in foreign income while he worked at the Chinese university. Li participated in the Thousand Talents Program, a Chinese-government talent recruitment program that in some cases has resulted in violations of U.S law, including espionage, theft of trade secrets and grant fraud.
Charles Lieber: The chair of Harvard's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology was charged with aiding the Chinese government and hiding his ties while accepting millions in funding in Jan. 2020. He was indicted in June on charges of of making false statements to federal authorities regarding his participation in China's Thousand Talents Program. Lieber became a "Strategic Scientist" at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China, which Harvard did not know about. He later became a contractual participant in China's Thousand Talents Plan from at least 2012 through 2015, the Justice Department said in a statement.
Feng "Franklin" Tao: Tao had a contract to work full-time with a Chinese university while also conducting federally-funded research at University of Kansas, which led to an indictment in June charging Tao with seven counts of wire fraud and three counts of making false statements. Tao was allegedly also involved in the Thousand Talents Plan.
Zaozong Zheng: A Chinese national who was indicted on charges of stealing biological research and attempting to smuggle it to China, Zheng admitted he would use the stolen materials to conduct research and publish the results under his own name. This activity was all while being sponsored by Harvard and working at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Dr. Qing Wang: Wang was arrested and charged in May with false claims and wire fraud after knowingly omitting affiliations with a Chinese university and accepting $3 million in research funding from China while also accepting $3.6 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health. Wang is a former employee of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, a nonprofit academic medical center, and held the position of the Dean of the College of Life Sciences and Technology at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China.

James Patrick Lewis: A former West Virginia University professor who admitted to convincing the university to grant him paid leave so he could travel to China and work for a competing institution, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Lewis received lavish benefits including a research subsidy of $573,000 (4 million Yuan), living subsidy of approximately $143,000 (1 million Yuan) and a salary of $86,000 (600,000 Yuan), according to the Justice Department in March.
Simon Saw-Teong Ang: A professor who was arrested in May and then indicted in July after failing to disclose his ties to Chinese universities and companies while accepting NASA research funding. Ang was an electrician engineering professor and researcher at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville since 1988, according to the Justice Department.
Juan Tang: Tang was arrested in San Francisco and charged with visa fraud on June 26 before reportedly going into hiding at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco. According to court documents, Tang had lied on her non-immigrant visa application dated Oct. 28, 2019, where she claimed to be a researcher at University of California Davis (UC Davis) and reported having no ties to the military or Chinese Communist Party. FBI internet searches found photos of her in military uniform and evidence she worked for the Air Force Military Medical University, as well as an affidavit, saying she is "considered an active military personnel."

Becoming the partner of choice for African nations: working cross-Government to tell the story
Blog post by Tim Singleton
Tim Singleton, Director of Communications at DfID, explains the crucial role of cross-government strategic communications in making the UK the partner of choice for African nations.
In the week of the Prime Minister's landmark three-nation visit to Sub-Saharan Africa, President Kenyatta of Kenya told the BBC:
"There has been dramatic change across the African continent…and we are looking at how we can partner with countries across the globe in partnerships that are not patronising, but those that are anchored on a win-win position."
Home to five of the world's fastest growing economies, it is true that Africa is a continent alive with opportunity.
And President Kenyatta isn't the only leader promoting the African offer – President Akufo-Addo of Ghana frequently takes his vision for a 'Ghana Beyond Aid' to the world stage, while in Ethiopia the new Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is reforming markets to attract foreign investors.
Yet, progress across the continent has not been uniform. Some 44% of the world's extreme poor live in Africa's 35 most fragile states, and 18 million jobs need to be created every year until 2035, just to keep up with fast growing populations.
This challenge is not Africa's to tackle alone – not least because the whole world is safer and better off when African nations are strong, prosperous and peaceful. This is why, in Cape Town, the Prime Minister set out the UK's new and distinctive offer to work alongside, invest in, and partner with African nations.
We have been listening when African leaders tell us they want modern 'win-win' partnerships that deliver mutual benefit. We also know that the UK's isn't the only offer on the table.
The communications challenge
We want the UK to be African nations' partner of choice – in investment for cutting-edge start-ups, in collaboration on science and research, in sharing resources in the global battle against extremism, and much more.
This is a policy challenge, yes – but one with a clear role for Government communicators.
In our globalised world of online commentary, digital media and strong people-to-people links across continents, how can HMG reach both African and British audiences to celebrate and make the case for UK-African partnerships that are in all our interests?
How can we tell the story?
Strategic communications – purposeful, highly-targeted outreach and engagement with a clear aim of resetting the UK's relationships with African nations – has been in-built to the policy development around the UK's approach to Sub-Saharan Africa.
We want to tell positive and optimistic stories – from across the whole-of-Government – about the UK's mutually beneficial partnerships with African nations.
To make sure these stories have real impact with our target audiences in the UK and across Africa, we are exploring the whole range of tools available to us: working with exciting third-party voices; exploring different digital and traditional media channels; strategic stakeholder engagement; building our library of audience insight and using this to develop engaging, new and exciting communications.
What is 'fusion working'?
This is a truly cross-Government campaign.
From Foreign Office Ministers supporting MOD stories on tackling illegal wildlife trade in Malawi; DIT and No 10 working with business leaders on the PM's visit; sharing DFID insight to support a MOJ announcement around legal industry partnerships with Nigeria; and working together to plan next year's Africa Investment Summit – this is fusion working.
Fusion working allows us to shine a spotlight on all of HMG's work with African nations. But more than that, this approach is necessary. With 14 HMG departments represented in Nairobi alone, Africa is not purely a DFID story.

'It's our fault': Pavelec
Goalie steaming after contest
By: Ed Tait
Posted: 03/27/2012 1:00 AM	| Comments:
Ondrej Pavelec looked like a man who wanted to put his fist through a wall or crack a stick over his knee in frustration.
Or maybe both just to clear the anger from his system.
The Winnipeg Jet netminder was visibly upset after Monday's sloppy 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators that -- aside from the obvious impact on the standings -- would best be described as an absolute defensive nightmare.
The Jets surrendered six even-strength goals and lost despite out-shooting the Sens 48-35.
John Woods / Winnipeg Free Press Noted Senators sniper Chris Neil celebrates his first-period goal against Ondrej Pavelec and the defenceless Winnipeg Jets Monday.
The Winnipeg Jet netminder was visibly upset after Monday's sloppy 6-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators that — aside from the obvious impact on the standings — would best be described as an absolute defensive nightmare.
"Again... a wide-open game by both sides. That's going to kill you at this time of year," said Pavelec. "This hockey is not going to take you to the playoffs. Even if we make it, if we're going to play like that everybody's going to kill us.
"A lot of turnovers, there's got to be more responsibility there. You tie the game with three minutes left and everybody's so excited at a time when you need every point and then they score like 10 seconds later.
"It wasn't just about that one, there were a lot of turnovers all game long. I don't know... I don't know any more. We've lost so many games like that this year. At the end of the day, it's our fault. At the end of the day if we're not going to make it we can look in the mirror and say, 'It's our fault.' It's nobody else."

The Jets fell behind 2-0, rallied to tie the game at 2-2, fell behind 3-2, then tied it, fell behind 4-3 and tied it again with 2:57 left in the contest.
But then, just to sum up their defensive effort on the night, gave up the winner just 24 seconds later when they were caught running around in their own zone.
And that's a scene Pavelec has seen play out far too often this season.
"You fight for the playoffs... this isn't the hockey that's going to take us to the playoffs," Pavelec said. "This is the hockey like summer hockey, exhibition games. We had a lot of scoring chances, a lot of shots to the net. Offensively I think we were good. But defensively it's about five guys on the ice... I don't know what to say. It's a tough loss, but it's been like that before. The last game against Carolina it was exactly the same game.
"Wednesday's another game but I don't know if we're still there or not. I didn't see the stats. The Rangers coming up, another hard team to play against and if we're going to play like that, they're going to kill us again. It's pretty simple."

1868 FC Reveals New Uniforms, Sponsorship Agreement
By USLChampionship.com Staff, 02/02/19, 11:00AM EST
Reno Orthopedic Clinic becomes new primary jersey sponsor in three-year partnership
RENO, Nev. – Reno 1868 FC unveiled its new home and away kits ahead of the 2019 USL Championship season on Thursday night at Greater Nevada Field, while also revealing a new three-year sponsorship agreement with the Reno Orthopedic Clinic that will run through the 2021 season.
Players donned the cobalt blue home and Sierra white away Adidas kit fresh off the press, with 1868 FC President Eric Edelstein excited to welcome the new partnership agreement.
"This is an exciting time at Reno 1868 FC and we could not be happier to bring Reno Orthopedic Clinic on board as our new jersey sponsor," Reno 1868 FC president Eric Edelstein said Thursday. "Dr. Zebrack and everyone at Reno Orthopedic Clinic have been providing medical care throughout our clubs existence and we are thrilled to share our jersey with such a respected and deep-rooted community practice."
"Reno Orthopedic Clinic is thrilled to be the Official Team Physicians for Reno 1868 FC," added Dr. John Zebrack of the ROC. "The ROC name emblazoned on the team's new 2019 jerseys is symbolic of the passionate way this area has embraced professional soccer, and we look forward to providing 1868's players with the kind of leading-edge care they need to compete and win."
The jerseys were unveiled in front of many of the club's fans, who celebrated the opening event of the club's third season throughout the night alongside members of the team. The club's new uniforms will get their first official outing on Saturday, February 9 when 1868 FC plays host to MLS partner the San Jose Earthquakes at Greater Nevada Field at 12:15 p.m. PT.

Reader: My 9-yo child is having difficulties, ADD, anger issues. I'm all over it – seeing specialists, started therapy. I was told he tested positive for marijuana at birth, hence his being removed and, thank God, placed with me first as a foster and within a year, my namesake! He had an abnormal EEG today and has to go for an MRI. I'm "friends" with bio-Mom on FB (Facebook), and feel he deserves answers like was it only marijuana? How do I approach it? Do I approach it at all? This is my child's health.
I'm sorry to hear that your son is struggling and that you are in a place of frustration. Certainly, it must be difficult to juggle all of the appointments and medical opinions coming your way, in addition to helping your son navigate the day-to-day challenges he is facing.
When we were waiting to adopt each time, we had to fill out a checklist-of-sorts: what medical situations we were and were not open to. I turned to a few medical professionals, including a NICU nurse, a pediatric nurse, and our family physician, for their opinions on each situation, and in particular, potential drug usage.
What I found through my communication is that there often is not a clear cause-and-effect. There are mothers who attend every prenatal appointment, take vitamins, live in serene environments, do not use any harmful medications or illegal substances, and eat all-organic diets and exercise throughout their entire pregnancies, and these women can have children with a myriad of issues. Yet there are some mothers who use drugs, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, live in chaotic environments, don't exercise, don't attend prenatal appointments, and eat whatever is available, and they have delivered healthy children. Of course, these are two extreme examples, and there are the moms who fall in-between.
Many factors play into the health of a child including genetics, environment, exposure, prenatal care, early disease and disability detection, the mother's diet, the mother's stress level, and so much more. Of course, factors that affect a child's health not only matter while the child is in utero, but after the child is born. I share this to say that marijuana usage alone may not be the cause of any, some, or all of your child's health issues.
If you decide to approach your son's biological mother and ask about prenatal exposure to substances, I would do so in a respectful and honest matter. As a writer, I would suggest composing a message to her that states why you are contacting her (because the child is experiencing emotional and physical health issues, and you are deeply concerned about his well-being). Explain that you are seeking professional assistance with these issues. As part of the process, you are asked to fill out a lot of paperwork asking about the child's health history. Then request that the biological mother provide you with any details that may be helpful. Ask what she used or took during pregnancy, be it a legal or illegal substance, if any, and how often and when during the pregnancy the substances were taken. Also, ask about family health history. If the medical professionals your son has visited thus far have questions about specific medical conditions in the child's biological family, be sure to bring those up as well. End your message with appreciation for her time and any information she is willing to provide you with.
Now, when composing anything in writing, you risk the message coming off wrong: pushy, egotistical, accusatory, assuming, angry, etc. I would suggest asking a trusted friend or family member to offer you feedback on your message before you send it. Keeping your son at the heart of the message, and not your personal struggles with the situation, will likely render a more productive response. Remember, ultimately, you want answers to help your son.
I hope that in the coming weeks, you not only get a detailed response from your son's biological mother, but that the professionals you have involved in your son's care are able to arrive at clear diagnoses so that you are able to move forward with a specific and beneficial management and treatment plan. My heart goes out to you during this confusing and challenging time. Please keep us posted on how your son is doing and know that we at Adoption Network Law Center exist to support, educate, and empower parents just like you who fight for the well-being of your child.


"It was an event of the spring. But what makes it even more fascinating is the remarkable ingenuity of these people. It was a characteristic of theirs that they blew up anything and everything into immensely great proportions. This spring-festival did not escape that rule.
Originally published in Us Magazine, The News, on February 23, 2007.


The Blog over at blog.portswigger.net has been buzzing for the last month about the new version of Burp Suite. After a short time in beta testing (with users of the professional version) it's been released for those using the free version. I've had a quick look over the features and think that version 1.2 is a big step in the right direction.
I've flitted backwards between using OWASP's Webscarab, and Burp Suite. As much as I've always wanted to go the free route and use Webscarab, something kept pulling me back to Burp. I guess it just makes things easier. The new version seems to fill in some gaps, and I'll be looking at the pro license soon to really get the full benefit.
The professional version includes the new burp scanner (passive and active scanning) seems to fill a void a lot of people have been looking for. i.e. an affordable web-application scanner that actually works. No automated scan will find everything, but users of Burp suite already know that. so the addition of a scanner just seems to make sense at this point. One thing I wish was in the free version however was the save/restore session function. Then again, I can see why this is held back for the paying customers.


I love defining things and letting other people define things for me. Except when it comes to the concept of me. How do I define me, how does God define me?
Whenever I see my friends, I always leave and wonder,"When they think the name Emily, what is the first thing that comes to their mind?" Is it a sew-a-holic, horse freak, piano nerd, science geek (if that's the case I find it a complement :P)? Perhaps a Jesus-freak (the ultimate compliment!)? Those are all what I know I am, but there are gajillions of voices that tell me otherwise.
My mom put it this way: faith+joy+peace= freedom in Christ. When we have freedom in Christ, we can just know that we are daughters/sons of the King of kings! That's who we are. You're not Emily because you like cosplay, ride horses, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, being a pianist, the Piano Guys (even though those shape my personality); you are you because you are a daughter of the King.
I have heard people say the familiar phrase,"I need to take some time (days, weeks, and years are sometimes replaced instead of "some time") to find myself." There really is no such thing if you know you're a daughter/son of the King. So, I will end with this: our mission is to glorify the Lord, and as soon as we know that we're a prized child of the King, we can move and change the world.

Study: Game microtransactions aren't so micro in the end
by Todd Bishop on February 8, 2012 at 1:46 pm February 8, 2012 at 1:49 pm
The underlying economics of video-games have been undergoing a radical transformation with the shift toward "free-to-play" titles that offer a basic experience at no charge and make money instead by selling additional content and other in-game items.
Many of us now play games this way, on Facebook and other platforms. And while it might feel like we're spending less as a result, many of us are shelling out as much or more, cumulatively, as people who are buying games the old-fashioned way, according to a new research report released today by Parks Associates.
"Players often cite the microtransactions model as a way to reduce their gaming expenditures because it allows them to spend according to their budget and play patterns," says research analyst Pietro Macchiarella as part of his broader report on trends in digital gaming. "However, Parks Associates research reveals that people who spend money on these games tend to spend amounts that are comparable to the cost of traditional games."
For example, the company found that people who spend money on Facebook games spend about $29 per month, while others who pay for virtual goods and upgrades in free-to-play games spend about $21 per month. That compares to the $24-$27 montly average spent on new games by "incidental and occasional gamers.
For more background on this trend, see this great behind-the-scenes explanation delivered by Valve's Gabe Newell at a WITA conference last year: How Valve experiments with the economics of video games.

Q: C++ Linked Lists with Multi-Files I am a bit new to using multi-files. I have this very simple code for a linked list, but when I debug, it "stops working".
This problem has occured with me several times before. I want to know is there something wrong with my "linked list" code? Or is something wrong with the multi-files organization?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
======================================
//linkedListMAIN.cpp

#include "linkedlist.cpp"

void main()
{
linkList<int> l;

l.append(5);
l.traverse();
}

======================================
//linkedList.h

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

template <class T>
class linkList
{
private:
struct node
{
    T data;
    node *next;
};
node *head;
node *tail;
int noOfEl;
public:
linkList()
{
    noOfEl = 0;
    head=tail=NULL;
}

void traverse();
int length();
void insertAt(T, int);
T delAt(int);
void append(T);
void clear();
};

======================================
//linkedList.cpp
#include "linkedlist.h"

template <class T>
void linkList<T>:: traverse()
{
node<T> *current=head;

if(head == NULL)
{
    cout<<"List empty."<<endl;
}

while(current != NULL)
{
    cout<<current->data;
    current = current->next;
}
}

template <class T>
void linkList<T>::append(T data)
{
node< *newNode= new node;

newNode->next = NULL;
tail->next = newNode;
tail = newNode;

noOfEl++;
 }

A: You should not include the .cpp in inkedListMAIN.cpp but the header (.h). Also unless you are using c++11 you will have to put the class definition of templated classes in the header.

The Birth of an International Movement
To enter this topic into polite "cocktail" conversation is often difficult. You are either met with glassed over eyes from those that are either ignorant and/or uninterested in the topic, or you are subject to vehement observation of a potential deviation from the accepted narrative.
One can, and probably should, consider the birth of the international women's movement to the founding of the United Nations (UN) Status of Women's Committee (SWC) in 1946, and its initial triumph in removing the reference to "men", as being synonymous with "humanity", in the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This was laudably argued by the SWC as being more "inclusive language", consistent with the concept of equality.
From there, the SWC managed to influence a number of international declarations/agreements over the following 20 years. These include:
The International Labour Organization's 1951 convention concerning Equal Remuneration for Men and Women Workers for Work of Equal Value, enshrining the principle of equal pay for equal work.
The 1953 Convention on the Political Rights of Women, the first international law instrument to protect the political rights of women.
The 1957 Convention on the Nationality of Married Women, following by the 1962 Convention on Consent to Marriage, Minimum Age for Marriage and Registration of Marriages.
The crowning achievements of this initial period resulted in the 1963 request by the UN General Assembly for the SWC to draft a Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, which was adopted by the UN in 1967. This declaration contained 11 Articles which mostly consolidate the fore mentioned conventions. Article 1 specifically declared that discrimination against women is "fundamentally unjust and constitutes an offence against human dignity". Though that "black fly in you chardonnay" may actually not be ironic, the fact that the initial "inclusive language" of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights begins to dissolve away. The absence of the inclusion of men is a little ironic, don't you think.
In essence, the objective of the first 20 years of work by the SWC was to legally build a level playing field which tried to establish equality between the sexes. This work also inspired the United States in 1961 and Canada in 1967 to appoint their own "Status of Women" Commissions to evaluate the situation within their respected countries.
These two national committees echoed the concerns of the UN's SWC findings, and recommended measures to promote equality and women's participation in both politics and the economy. One interesting recommendation from the Canadian Royal Commission was to "undertake short-term measures, where necessary, to achieve it's (these) objectives". What these "measures" were, and how "short term" they were to become some 25 years later, should be a concern for those that truly espouse the concept of equality.
The First International Women's Conference: Mexico City 1975
The year 1975 was chosen as the year of the first International Women's Conference, to coincide with both the International Year of Women, and the start of the International Decade of Women (1975-1985). The principle objective of this conference was to sustain the improvements already made, and to further "bestow the benefits" of equal opportunity on all. In addition, the conference promoted "i) full gender equality, and the elimination of gender discrimination, ii) the integration and full participation of women in development, iii) as well as increasing the contribution of women by strengthening world peace".
The inclusion of "world peace" was a major issue of conflict at the conference as it highlighted the major political/ideological differences that existed during the cold war. These differences were principally between the United States, and the Eastern Bloc countries. The United States promoted an "equality agenda", and wanted to keep a narrow focus on what they believed to be "women's issues", whilst the Eastern Bloc promoted a "peace" agenda, wanting to incorporate issues like colonialism and Zionism into the discussion. The United States considered these issues to be non-related, whilst the Eastern Bloc did not consider "sexism" not to be present in their societies; hence there was no need for an equality discussion. This political discourse also haunted the following two conferences.
Some concrete developments that came about after this conference were the establishment of both the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW), and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). UN-INSTRAW was the leading research and knowledge management organization to promote gender equality and women's empowerment using a "gender perspective". While UNIFEM provided financial and technical assistance to promote women's human rights. These two agencies appear to be the first to direct monies directly to organizations assisting women. The first of the "temporary measures" to be employed to promote the development of equality.
In addition, the convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was enacted in 1979. It is in this convention the phrase discrimination against women was clarified as "any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field".
In hindsight, there are two other noteworthy observations that can be made from this conference. Firstly, this is the first time that the term "gender" became dominant in the documentation related to SWC. Secondly, the impetus from the Eastern Bloc to broaden the agenda to incorporate what could be considered "non-women" related issues. Both of these will become much more prevalent 20 years later, to the familiarity of all who read this I am sure.
What was initially scheduled to be located in Tehran, was moved to Copenhagen as a result of the Iranian Revolution. Though a Program of Action was adapted from this conference, this adoption was not by consensus as the political tensions from Mexico City had carried over.
In this Program of Action, the tone of the language began to change. It cited the "reasons" for the apparent discrepancy between the legal rights of women, and women's ability to access those rights was blamed on:
The lack of sufficient involvement of men
Insufficient political will
Lack of recognition of the value of women's contribution to society
Lack of attention to the particular needs of women
A shortage of women in decision making processes
Insufficient services to support the role of women, such as cooperatives, day care centers, and credit facilities
Overall lack of necessary financial resources
During this conference, again much of the dialog concerned promoting international cooperation, peace and security. As well, there was much credence given to women's struggled with colonialism, neocolonialism racial discrimination and apartheid. It appears that the Eastern Bloc had gained the upper hand in deciding the agenda. Both the American and Canadian delegations voted "no" the conference's resolution, but for all intents and purposes, delegates from the remaining countries began to fully embrace the Eastern Bloc's "peace" agenda.
The Program for Action called for stronger measures to ensure women's ownership and control of property, their right to inheritance as well as child custody. In addition, it was at this conference, for the first time, that domestic violence was explicitly mentioned in an official UN document. The legislative measures recommended at this conference included both the ratification of CEDAW by member nations, and that nations enact legislation to accelerate full and equal participation of women, and to eliminate existing inequities between men and women. This laid the foundation for additional "measures" in order to promote equality.
Nairobi 1985
The Nairobi conference was scheduled to review and appraise the achievements of the UN's International Decade of Women. This conference has also often been cited as the "birth of global feminism".
The conference found that generally the women's movement had grown in number and scope, and that they represented an international force for equality, peace and development. (Though the key findings of the statistics provided to the conference found that only a limited number of women had benefited from the improvements), As a result, it was mandated that new ways to overcome the obstacles would be sought.
Some of the recommendations to overcome these obstacles include the establishment of a "mechanism" for women's equal participation at all levels of the political process and public life. There was also a call for the formulation of laws, programs and policies to harmonize the family and work balance.
In addition, the continued discussion about domestic violence would lead to the appointment of Radhika Coomaraswamy as the first Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, and the adoption of the UN declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women (1993). The conference also recognized that gender equality was not an isolated issue, but encompassed all areas of human activity. This would result in the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo (1994) beginning to recognize women's health, education and rights a prerequisites for effective population control policies.
Beijing 1995: The turning point for the Global Agenda for Gender Equality
The Beijing conference is the final of the four conferences to date, and provided a Plan of Action which has manifested in numerous national government policies/laws and programs that actively support and favor women. In essence, all governments that signed on to the agreement have adopted a policy tool called Gender Based Analysis (GBA). GBA mandates everything a government does must be subject to gender based analysis to correct for historical imbalances that exist. It allows for the unequal distribution of monies and consideration to a specific gender.
The principle problem with this approach is that it is the domain of the Status of Women Committees in the various countries to present the gender specific data by which laws/programs and policies are enacted. The Status of women committee is only required to act on behalf of women, and not men. This is how the governments of the world can discriminate against men on all fronts, yet justify their actions as being, inclusive. This is that "short term measure" which if you are under 25 years old, has been in place since you were born. In a future article I will explore how this policy tool has created a situation where Separate consideration is given to one group, But it is considered Equal.
I will allow Hillary Clinton to summarize it as she did at the conclusion of the Beijing conference.
"Let it be that human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights, once and for all. "

As Her Majesty the Queen's 90th official birthday draws closer, Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping and his four regional colleagues are urging people of all ages and cultures to join together to celebrate the event.
The East Midlands' PCCs have joined the growing throng of public figures, organisations, local authorities, towns, cities and businesses from across the country saying 'count us in' to One Britain One Nation's plans for a unified celebration on Friday June 10.
As a mark of national concord at 11am on 10 June 2016, the nation is being encouraged to wish the Queen a very Happy Birthday by singing the National Anthem, or indeed 'Happy Birthday' or simply raising three cheers.
"This is a truly historic occasion which brings a great opportunity to wave our flag with pride," Mr Tipping, who now in his second term of office, said today.
The five Commissioners, standing side by side with the Union Flag, are supporting the One Britain One Nation Campaign which they hope will lead to people promoting community harmony on the Queen's very special day.
Mr Tipping's Commissioner colleagues are: Lord Willy Bach (Leicestershire), Stephen Mold (Northamptonshire), Marc Jones (Lincolnshire) and Derbyshire's former Deputy PCC, Hardyal Dhindsa, all four of whom were elected as PCC for the first time on 5 May.
The One Britain One Nation Campaign was launched in Bradford at the end of January.

Kevin Costner brings his rock band to Harrah's South Shore Room
Rick Chandler
Movie/rock star Kevin Costner and Modern West perform Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at Harrah's.
Back in the day, before "Dances With Wolves," "Field of Dreams" or even "Silverado," Kevin Costner dreamed of being a rock star.
And as he chased fame on the big screen, he never put down his guitar for very long. It's kind of surprising, seeing that the closest that Costner has come to a musically themed film has been as Whitney Houston's bodyguard in "The Bodyguard." But yes, the young man's got music in his soul.
See for yourself on Saturday, July 7, as Costner and his band, Modern West, perform at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in the South Shore Room.
Costner and Modern West began 20 years ago in a Los Angeles warehouse, where Costner and John Coinman met in an acting workshop. Coinman was a musician with an intense interest in acting, and Costner was an actor with an intense interest in music.
They became friends, began to play and write music together, and soon formed a band — Roving Boy — which got a small record deal in Japan.
Even as he became a bigger star, Costner kept playing music. The band reformed in 2005 as Modern West, adding Blair Forward, guitarist/producer Teddy Morgan and drummer Larry Cobb.
How good is Costner and Modern West? By all accounts, the band is strong, and Costner's personal charm outweighs his musicianship. But the former is considerable, and the latter ain't bad.
From a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel review of Modern West's concert in Milwaukee on June 25:
"The dominant mood was party music, and when Modern West served up a party pounder like "Find That Girl," Costner didn't fare too badly. The band was strong enough to carry their star frontman.
"As a vocalist Kevin Costner is a convincing movie star. To put Costner in his natural context, he's not as polished a singer as the Bacon Brothers, but certainly as competent as Bruce Willis or Jim Belushi. On the rock tunes, Costner's raspy bark supplemented by Coinman's harmony vocals carried him through. On the ballads, it was a little hard to disguise the thinness of the voice."
But one gets the feeling that Modern West puts on a great show — and fan support is so strong that they will soon be putting out a CD.
Costner has ties with Tahoe that go back several years. A frequent visitor, he spent time here during the filming of "The Bodyguard," part of which was filmed at Fallen Leaf Lake. He also gave a talk to the drama class at South Lake Tahoe High.
"Costner told the crowd that one of the reasons for Modern West was to give him a way to connect with people on a meaningful and personal level," said the Milwaukee JS article. "He appears to be sincere about connecting with his fans, and the Northern Lights crowd was more than delighted to do their part. When one of the ladies in the crowd yelled out an invitation, Costner shot back, 'I can't come out there. … I think you'd keep me.' "

Q: max-content flex based child text div shrinks even if enough space available I am trying to position in-line, aligned to left, some "field-boxes" using CSS flex-box.
A "field-box" is formed from two horizontally adjacent elements:

*

*a text div label

*an input element

The label should occupy maximum it's un-wrapped content, but may shrink if there is not enough space up to a min-width (ex. 50px)
The input field has a normal length (ex. 200px) - ideally keep it's width but may also shrink if available space drops, up to a min-width (ex. 100px).
The desired behaviour:

*

*if width(row) >= sum(width(all un-wrapped labels)) + sum(width(input-fields)) -> then the field-boxes are adjacent, aligned left, fully visible, with possible extra space remaining on the right part of the row

*else if width(row) >= sum(width(input-fields)) + sum(min-width(labels)) -> then the field-boxes are adjacent, aligned left, with the input fields fully visible and the label fields partially visible (shrinking proportionally), so all row width is occupied

*else if width(row) >= sum(min-width(input-fields) + sum(min-width(labels)) -> then the field boxes are adjacent, aligned left, with the labels shrinking to min-width and the input-fields shrinking proportionally to occupy the entire row width

*else(row width is less then sum of min-widths of inputs and labels) - TBD either

*

*wrap

*scroll

*hide extra

Unfortunately I am stuck at first point.
Tried code in snippet and even if the row width is > sum width(elements), the browser shrinks the labels, leaving extra space on the right (on Chrome and Safari on Mac)
I guess having the parent (box) and child (label) having flex-shrink: 1 pushes the label width / max-content to strange dimensions... also used auto and fit-content instead of max-content.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thank you

Willamette Technical Fabricators
Willamette Technical Fabricators, which operates in the shadow of Portland's St. Johns Bridge, specializes in custom, complex projects. These range from rugged metal boats that can be squeezed between barges to massive gates on Columbia River dams that protect people, wildlife and turbines. Increasingly, its work will be focused on protecting the environment as well.
What the company does – more about that below – is interesting and unique. Just as interesting and unique is how it came to be.
Willamette Technical Fabricators is run by Alicia Chapman, who for many years specialized in economic development as a Washington, D.C.-based employee of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). She helped organize building projects in Palestine, Libya and Afghanistan, where USAID hopes to increase stability and wealth by creating good jobs and critical institutions.
In 2012, Chapman moved to Portland to work on a PhD at Portland State University. Several years after her arrival, while working at PSU's Institute for Sustainable Solutions, she was recruited to work at the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center (OMIC), a Scappoose-based initiative that engages university-based experts to address real-world manufacturing problems such as hard-metal machining. Chapman's experience in both academia and economic development allowed her to function as a bridge between OMIC's partners in manufacturing and higher education.
In 2020, Chapman and her partners formed Willamette Technical Fabricators to fill an emerging market niche for custom, complex manufacturing projects. The company has built rugged steel workboats for Advanced American Construction, whose marine work requires equipment that will tolerate difficult conditions – like getting squashed between shifting barges. Willamette has built flexible handrails for a BNSF railroad bridge. The rails feature built-in expansion joints that allow them to flex while the bridge bounces under the load of a passing train. The company also has built bulkhead gates for McNary Dam in Umatilla. When the turbines need to be repaired and maintained, the gates enhance safety by allowing water to be pumped from the service area.
The company's custom work could soon branch out significantly into renewable energy, says Chapman. It is in preliminary talks to participate in the construction of battery-powered ferries and rail cars as well as offshore wind installations. For the latter, they would build the floating structures on which the turbines would be mounted.
Willamette Technical Fabricators also is collaborating on a proposed pumped-storage hydropower project in southern Oregon. By pumping water uphill, the project would function as a gravity-battery for excess renewable energy. When wind or solar energy production exceeds the immediate demand, water would be pumped uphill via complex metal tubing that Willamette Technical Fabricators would build. When demand is higher than production, water would flow downhill through hydroelectric turbines.
Like most manufacturers, Willamette Technical Fabricators creates not only products, but also comparatively high-wage jobs. It employs 22 people at its Portland manufacturing facility and an additional 13 at a machine shop in Clackamas. The company has complete wage transparency, says Chapman, and offers flexible hours, health benefits, a matching 401(k), paid family leave for everyone and unlimited paid time off for salaried staff. These progressive benefits help attract skilled labor and prevent attrition.
Chapman describes herself as passionate about workforce development. Founded as a women- and minority-owned small business, the company seeks to provide opportunities and training for women and people of color. New employees are mentored by skilled employees. The company creates teams that include highly skilled tradespeople and apprentices who can help with integrating new technology such as robots. While robots can increase productivity and improve safety, experienced welders are vital to monitor quality and troubleshoot.
Still, training new employees with advanced manufacturing skills while paying them family wages is expensive. With the recent passage of Gov. Brown's $200 million workforce-development proposal, Chapman hopes to work with the state to secure money to train workers from underserved communities.

Coronavirus: Airborne vs. Surface Contamination
Coronavirus Cases Coronavirus Disinfection
Concerns: First Surface, Then Airborne, Now Both?
In March 2020, studies were coming out almost daily talking about SARS-CoV-2 and it's ability to survive on surfaces. The scientist call these surface contaminants, fomites. We heard reports of hours, days, even weeks in some cases. And depending on your source, it depended on the surface type (coronavirus lasts longer on plastic or countertops or sofas, but only last hours on metal or cardboard or glass) and the flavor of the week.
But recently, and rightfully so, the focus has been on the airborne transmission of SARS-C0V-2 as one of the primary means of transmission. Social distancing and mask wearing seem to be effective in reducing transmission, infection and diagnoses of COVID-19.
However, in recent weeks, the CDC has released a paper titled "Prolonged Infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 in Fomites". The findings from the study reveal the following:
we showed that a moderate protein concentration in droplets markedly increased the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2, suggesting that a protein-rich medium like airway secretions could protect the virus when it is expelled and may enhance its persistence and transmission by contaminated fomites. Accordingly, it is plausible that fomites infected with SARS-CoV-2 play a key role in the indirect transmission of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This finding supports surface cleaning as a necessary action that should be enforced and repeated because it may play a key role in halting SARS-CoV-2 transmission and mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic.
Is Disinfection Right for Me?
Saliva can protect SARS-CoV-2, and in turn, allow it to persist on surfaces for longer than it would otherwise, and
Surface disinfection is an effective method for reducing that transmission vector.
Therefore, if your office or home has been impacted by coronavirus or a COVID-19 infection, disinfection services, such as those provided by Disinfect Charleston are a recommended and effective means of reducing the potential for further spread and transmission of the virus.

Impact Wrestling moving to larger network: Parent company buys AXS TV
For the past few months, there were rumors that Impact Wrestling might move to AXS TV. However, in a press release today, it turned out to be much bigger than that.
Anthem Sports & Entertainment, the company that owns Impact Wrestling, purchased the majority stake in AXS TV. As a result, Impact Wrestling will have a new home on AXS TV.
Impact Wrestling will join New Japan Pro Wrestling and WOW Women of Wrestling as a trifecta of professional wrestling shows airing on the network.
The deal also includes the extensive AXS TV library of wrestling, MMA, and entertainment content. Anthem also acquired HDNet Movies in the deal.
"Anthem was founded with a mission to deliver compelling, targeted content and experiences to passionate fans globally on the platform of their choice," said Leonard Asper, CEO, Anthem Sports & Entertainment. "The music, sports and entertainment communities served by these channels are a natural extension and perfect complement to our existing properties."
Mark Cuban and AEG are not going away, which is good news for AXS TV. They will remain on board as equity partners. AEG will also still support the network as far as advertising and sponsorship sales.
This deal is excellent news for Impact Wrestling.
At their height, Impact Wrestling was on Spike TV, but since leaving that network, their audience reach has gotten smaller and smaller. They moved to Destination America and then Pursuit.
In 2015, Destination America reached 56 million homes. Pursuit reaches around 35 million homes.
Anthem channels are now estimated to reach nearly 150 million global TV homes, and this includes 110 million in the United States and Canada.
Anthem brings some powerful properties into the deal. They own Impact Wrestling, the Impact Plus video-on-demand platform, Fight Network, GameTV, Game+, and the Pursuit Channel.

Q: Probability using Normal Standard Curve, how to find Random Variables sd? My question is relating finding the probability using Normal Approximation.

Let X be a random variable with P(X=-1)=P(X=0)=0.25 and P(X=1)=0.5. Let S be the sum of 25 independent random variables, each with the same distribution as X.
Calculate
     (a)P(S>0)
     (b)P(S<0)
     (c)P(S=0)

I know how to do normal approximation, and also have the solutions bank for this question. But I don't know how to find the Standard Deviation.
Mean is np , hence 25*0.25=6.25. The solutions bank states the standard deviation is 5/4root11. I calculate it as root(25*0.25*0.75) but I know its wrong too.

A: You have a typo in your question saying $P(X=-1)$ twice.
You may have intended $P(X=-1)=P(X=0)=0.25$ and $P(X=1)=0.5$ which would make  $E[X]=\frac14$ and so multiplying by $25$ you get $E[S]=\frac{25}{4}$
If so, $\text{Var}(X) = \frac14(-1-\frac14)^2+\frac14(0-\frac14)^2+\frac12(1-\frac14)^2 =\frac{11}{16}$ and so multiplying by $25$ you get $\text{Var}(S)=\frac{25\times 11}{16}$ the square root of which is $\frac54\sqrt{11}$


Would you ever transform a closet into a bedroom? As rent increases in popular cities like NYC, many families are trying to utilize any space they can. That includes giving up a large closet to make a bedroom (like this popular blogger) and sometimes even using your bathroom as a nursery.

A Father-Daughter Link in Colorectal Cancer
By Maryann Gromisch RN Guide
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the United States. Most of these cancers begin as a polyp, which is a growth of tissue that starts in the lining and extends into the center of the colon or rectum. An adenoma is a type of polyp which can become cancerous. Early removal of a polyp may prevent advancement of this stage. (1)
At the October 2009 American Society of Human Genetics 59th Annual Meeting, Kari G. Rabe, MS, presented the results of a multi-institutional study of parent-offspring pairs with colorectal cancer. Ms. Rabe, who is associated with the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, and her team of researchers found that in families in which a parent is diagnosed with CRC, the age of diagnosis for affected daughters of affected fathers is younger than for other parent-child pairings.
Some families met the criteria for hereditary CRC, which includes the occurrence of CRC in at least three family members, two generations affected by CRC, one affected person is a close relative, such as parent or sibling, of another affected person, and one relative who was diagnosed with CRC before the age of fifty. The researchers reviewed 2628 cases of parent-offspring CRC. Cases with documented syndromes, which were linked to gene mutations, were eliminated from the study. The final analysis was comprised of 2061 pairs.
The age of diagnosis was compared. In father-offspring pairs, the mean age was 53.7 while in mother-offspring pairs, the average age was 55.8 years. The age of affected daughters of affected fathers was 52.3 years on average. The median age of affected sons of affected fathers was 55.1 years of age.
"This is the first report of something odd like this", states Ms. Rabe. She offers three possibilities: an imprinted gene on the X chromosome, an imprinted gene on a sex-specific pathway, such as an estrogen pathway, or an X-linked gene that is unmasked by inactivation of the maternal X chromosome in colonic tissue. Imprinting is involved in many genetic diseases in which the effect of the same gene depends on its parent of origin.

Q: JPQL LEFT OUTER JOIN WITH CONDITION I have query in jpa like this(didnt work):
entityManager.createQuery("select new pl.proama.wd.model.PolicyDTO2(pol.policyID) from Policy pol LEFT JOIN pol.claim c  WHERE c.claimID=:id").setParameter("id", "20700003915").getResultList();

and database table like this:
Policy table -->(Policy_id(pk), other colums)
Claim table --> (Claim_id(pk),Policy_id,other colums)
One policy can join to many claim
Normal plsql query(work):
Select pol.POLICY_ID
from Policy pol LEFT JOIN CLAIM c
on(c.POLICY_ID=pol.POLICY_ID)
WHERE c.CLAIM_ID='20700003915';

I think I make mistake in class Policy where I join Claim class.
@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "POLICY_ID")
private Claim claim;

What I'm doing wrong?

A: Move c.CLAIM_ID condition from WHERE clause to ON clause to get true LEFT JOIN behavior. (With c condition in the WHERE clause, it executes as a regular inner join.)
Select pol.POLICY_ID
from Policy pol LEFT JOIN CLAIM c
on (c.POLICY_ID=pol.POLICY_ID
    AND c.CLAIM_ID='20700003915');


It's been a well known fact that coworking spaces around the world have become homes for freelancers and startups companies in various sizes and funding stages. From the web designer to the architect, from the app developer to the accountant, coworking fits all. However, in the past two years, a new trend has emerged as more teams coming from established companies are settling in leading coworking spaces, creating an interesting mix of new ambitious companies alongside well established enterprises, each bringing their methods and styles.
One perfect example where "old" meets new comes from Mindspace Berlin, where one of the leading publishers in Europe, Gruner + Jahr of the Bertelsmann Group is taking an office for their Digital Ventures fund team. The G+J ventures encompasses a volume of €50 million composed as a combination of cash and media focusing on food, living, fashion, and family markets as well as exciting topics from higher-level segments such as AdTech / AdSales and publishing (particularly video and mobile).
Just like many other corporates, G+J are now adapting to the new way of working. "Gruner + Jahr stands for quality journalism, both online and offline. As the channels are changing through which people are consuming media, we also need to create new business models and offer our content right where our readers are". says Julia Köster, a G+J investment associate working from Berlin.
According to Koster, they are constantly on the lookout for new ideas and new ways to promote theirs business. "Around a quarter of revenues already come from G+J's digital activities. The main drivers of the company's digital transformation process are three business divisions – you might also call them innovation catalysts – which accelerate our change process: Greenhouse, the innovation lab where new ideas are tested, validated and, if successful, integrated into the company, a traditional M&A unit and our venture fund G+J Digital Ventures, here in Berlin, with which we focus on investing in scalable, early-stage digital companies".
Looking for startups that have already provided an initial proof of market on one hand and investors to cooperate with on the other, is what led them to Mindspace. "In the first few months after moving to Berlin we had our own space in Friedrichshain, but when you are working for a VC you need to network, you need to interact and talk. It's definitely a people business. Hence, we moved to a Mindspace office״, she says and adds that it's not only about the business, but also about the lifestyle: "It's cool, it's hip, it's young. It's a different working style than what big corporates are used to".
It's no surprise that in joining Mindspace G+J had business goals in mind as they are looking for new investment channels. "Every good founder is someone that you can learn from", says Koster, "but we mostly focus on startups that match G+J's portfolio and its strong brands in fashion, beauty, living and food as well as AdTech. An example: We recently invested in Makerist, an online handicraft school that brings together content and DIY interested people. This business model fits perfectly to G+J: Makerist reaches women above 35, and G+J's magazines BRIGITTE or FLOW also cover this target group. In connecting them and cooperating, both parties can learn and profit from each other".
As far as Julia is concerned, to get the business wheels going, startups that are looking for new business opportunities should simply approach her and schedule a meeting. "Good conversations and good deals for both sides always start with a first chat and a personal meeting. From there you take the next step and see how to establish a solid business relation. Hence, networking and mingling are essential and one of the reasons why we chose working from a coworking space".
So Why Are Enterprises Moving Teams Into Co-Working Spaces?
