Schalom Ben-Chorin (, übersetzt: "Friede, Sohn der Freiheit"; geboren am 20. Juli 1913 in München als Fritz Rosenthal; gestorben am 7. Mai 1999 in Jerusalem) war ein deutsch-israelischer Journalist und Religionswissenschaftler. Ben-Chorin setzte sich vor allem für den christlich-jüdischen Dialog, die Überwindung des Antijudaismus und Antisemitismus und für die Möglichkeit einer Theologie nach Auschwitz ein. Seine Wahlheimat war Israel.

Leben
Schalom Ben-Chorin stammte aus einer gebildeten akkulturierten jüdischen Kaufmannsfamilie. Nach dem Abitur an der Luitpold-Oberrealschule in München studierte er von 1931 bis 1934 Germanistik und vergleichende Religionswissenschaften an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. 1935 emigrierte er nach Palästina. Von 1935 bis 1970 war er Journalist. Er gründete 1958 die erste jüdische Reformgemeinde Israels in Jerusalem (Har-El Gemeinde) und war 1961 Mitgründer der AG Juden und Christen beim Deutschen Evangelischen Kirchentag. 1970 bis 1987 war er Dozent und Gastprofessor in Jerusalem, Tübingen und München. Als sich 1975 der Verband deutschsprachiger Schriftsteller Israels (VdSI) zusammenschloss, gehörte er dem fünfzehnköpfigen Gründungskomitee an.

Ehrungen
Für seine theologischen und schriftstellerischen Verdienste erhielt er zahlreiche Ehrungen, darunter:
 1959: Leo-Baeck-Preis
 1969: Bundesverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse
 1974: Dr.-Leopold-Lucas-Preis (als erster Preisträger)
 1982: Buber-Rosenzweig-Medaille
 1983: Großes Bundesverdienstkreuz
 1986: Bayerischer Verdienstorden
 1988: Goldene Bürgermedaille der Landeshauptstadt München
 1989: Preis der Stiftung Bibel und Kultur
 1993: Großes Bundesverdienstkreuz mit Stern
Das Land Baden-Württemberg verlieh ihm 1986 die Ehrenprofessur. Die Universitäten München (1988) und Bonn (1993) zeichneten ihn mit dem Ehrendoktortitel aus.

Familie
Schalom Ben-Chorin heiratete an Schawuot 1935 Gabriella Rosenthal (1913–1975). Die Ehe wurde 1943 geschieden. Ihr Sohn war der Rabbiner Tovia Ben-Chorin (geboren 1936 in Jerusalem; gestorben 2022 in St. Gallen).

1943 heiratete Schalom Ben-Chorin Avital (geboren als Erika Fackenheim am 25. Februar 1923 in Eisenach, gestorben am 6. Oktober 2017 in Haifa), die 1936 aus Deutschland nach Palästina geflohen war. Avital und Schalom Ben-Chorin leiteten die ersten offiziellen Delegationen israelischer Jugendlicher, die Deutschland besuchten, und legten damit den Grundstein für den deutsch-israelischen Jugendaustausch. 2012 wurde Avital Ben-Chorin die Ehrenbürgerwürde ihrer Geburtsstadt Eisenach verliehen, 2013 das Bundesverdienstkreuz.

Nachlass
Der schriftliche Nachlass Schalom Ben-Chorins an Manuskripten und Korrespondenz befindet sich im Literaturarchiv Marbach, wo er wissenschaftlich erschlossen wird.

Who is Montana's Melissa Romano?
This week I heard that Melissa Romano would be in Missoula.
I decided to stop by and see her.
For those of you that don't know, Melissa Romano is running for Superintendent of Montana's Office of Public Instruction.
That's the state department that pretty much oversees the whole K-12 school system in the state.
That comes out to 314 districts with 102,698 elementary students and 41,749 high school students.
You can find that information on page 1 of the 2015-16 OPI Directory.
Romano, if elected, will also be a member of the 5-member Land Board.
For the most part, the Land Board figures out how to take the $45 million that the 5.2 million acres of Montana school land produces each year (or at least did in 2002).
I sent a tweet to Linda McCullough today asking if she had any numbers more recent than those from 14 years ago.
I've yet to get a response.
As to the Land Board, they can't spend that money as it's for schools, but they do decide where that money comes from…typically through grazing leases, timber harvests, oil and gas leases, easements, recreation fees, cabin leases, and land sales.
So that's a big job, and Melissa Romano wants to have a 20% say in what happens there.
Yeah…right.
She doesn't really care about that, in my opinion – she just wants to help students!
Of course, the best place to help students – at least from my 5 years of teaching experience – is by being in the classroom where they can see and hear you.
Uh-huh, that's right…you guessed it – there's a little bit of political ambition here.
Alright, a lot.
You don't run for statewide office right out of the gate if you don't have ambition, and Romano seems to have that.
After all, she announced her candidacy way back in February 2015.
We all thought that Amanda Curtis would go for that job, c'mon – let's just admit it.
And by golly, we were sure all taken by surprise when this total unknown came out of nowhere and stole that one.
Of course, Curtis could have filed as well. And honestly, maybe Curtis wasn't interested in that position.
She'd been through the gristmill from August to November 2014. Maybe she was ready for a break, or just ready for her old legislative seat back (remember, she lost it because of redistricting).
Anyways, Romano filed and I think she might have even spoken at the Mansfield-Metcalf Dinner last year – I can't remember.
She's moving up, but will it be enough to stop her opponent, who has run for statewide office before?
Elsie Arntzen was in the legislature for six terms and ran for the U.S House in 2014, losing out to Zinke in the primary.
Age could be a factor as well – Arntzen is going to be 60 in November and Romano will be 39.
The unions will be big, and both women are a member of MEA-MFT. We've already seen the union speak out against Arntzen, so there'll be no support there.
Is that a death knell for a campaign? Some think so, but I'm not convinced.
A better place to look might be the financing.
You can find Romano's campaign finance reports through a simple name search here, on the Commissioner of Political Practices page.
For the last quarter of 2015, shown by the report issued January 5 of this year, Romano is doing well.
She had $11,000 in the bank and upped that to nearly $30,000. With expenditures for the quarter, she's at just over $24,000 in cash.
As far as I can see, all of Romano's spending is in Montana. High ticket items include printing with the Billings Gazette and some stuff with Campaign Compliance, a D.C. PAC that moved to Missoula in 2008.
The only thing I'd be alarmed by, from a campaign perspective, are the banking fees going to Virginia and the ActBlue fees.
Really, do we need to get money on our site that way? I hate to lose a cut to National so they can piss it all away on Hillary, but that's just me.
I think a lot of people just send Romano checks in the mail, to be honest.
On the other side of the aisle, Arntzen has raised more than $12,000 during the same time, and after expenses, she currently has just under $25,000 in the bank.
You can find Melissa Romano on Twitter and on Facebook.
I guess it's time we get to a bio, huh?
Montana's Melissa Romano attended Connecticut's University of Bridgeport and got a B.A. in science and an M.S. in elementary education.
She began teaching in Connecticut in 1999, transferring to the Helena School District in 2000.
She's worked as a kindergarten teacher, second grade teacher, and Instructional K-8 Mathematics Coach.
For several years now she's been a fourth grade teacher at Four Georgians.
She's married and has four kids.
Full disclosure – Melissa Romano's full name is actually Melissa Romano-Lehman.
In 2009 Romano won the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching for mathematics.
I bet that made math teachers proud.
I personally believe that Helena math teachers are a more tight-knit group, perhaps owing to the death of Helena High School teacher Wendy Driscoll on New Year's Eve 1998.
We know that math is extremely important for students, and especially young girls.
You always hear 'math and science' themed ads on the radio, and they always say how important it is for girls to get that kind of education.
In that regard, Melissa Romano will do really well if Gianforte wins. His whole platform revolves around those high-tech computer jobs that depend on math and science, but particularly math.
After all, if only 18% of women are getting computer science degrees and 19% engineering, we've got some work to do (currently women get 43% of math degrees).
I can see Gianforte sending Romano and McLean out to the rural areas to really get some things done.
Hey, working together...right?
The utter lack of information on Romano is frustrating, and I have a feeling it's most frustrating for her.
For instance, a quick Google search of her name pulls up about 2 pages of information that's worth anything.
Of those 2 pages (20 results), just four are from major state news sources (3 newspapers and MT public radio) and they're all from 2015, typically when she first announced.
In other words, this is very low information.
The top 3 search engine results page (SERP) returns give us Melissa Romano's website.
This is a very simple website and it fulfills the following functions:
Gives people an idea of who this person is;
Gives people an idea of what issues she supports;
Gives people a way to follow her on social media;
Gives people a way to donate money.
That's the main function of this campaign website and most campaign websites.
And when I say "what issues she supports," I mean a page with a few things.
You're not going to get candidates blogging regularly like I do here on Big Sky Words.
That's typically seen as fodder for opponents and candidates are encouraged to steer clear of that.
Besides that, it's hard work. When you're teaching all day and then driving to Missoula for a campaign event, then back to Helena so you can teach again in the morning, you have no time for that.
That's what Melissa Romano did today at least, and I went down to see why.
Melissa Romano in Missoula
Melissa Romano held her Missoula event at the MEA-MFT offices on the south side of town.
I thought this was a good location. It's not a private residence so there's no awkwardness. It's a public place so you don't feel any pressure about coming or going.
I signed in around 6:30 and inquired about how many people had come so far.
I was told about 30 had, though I think it might have been closer to 35 or 40 as a few more people came and went.
Romano was busy talking with voters when I first arrived so I scanned the scene.
My, the union knows how to put on the spread.
First up was a table by the door. They had some small brownies, the homemade square/cube kind. Also, several bowls of nuts and candies.
In the center of the room was the main affair – a full-size table with a bucket of ice cold beer, wine, and even some coke and water.
A meat platter replete with cheese offered itself up tantalizingly. I could see that many had fallen to its temptations. The large bowl of tortilla chips had not been so lucky.
I steered away from these delights, and from the people chatting it up. One man didn't seem to be talking with anyone and he also had a name tag on.
I went ahead and started talking with him. He does some work up at the university with training teachers that go out and work in Montana schools.
I talked with him quite a bit about the problems facing the world, the lack of funding for education, and the general apathy that people in this country are feeling.
We talked politics and elections and funding – the stuff I like to discuss.
So that was fun. After that I went ahead and started talking with a woman that worked for MEA-MFT, Melanie Charlton I believe.
Actually, I got a photo of both her and Melissa Romano.
What do you talk about on a Wednesday night in February, six days before Super Tuesday and 258 days until the election in November?
For the most part we talked about MDC.
I have to admit, earlier today I got a little on the case of Mary Caferro, the woman who brought the bill forward in the legislature to close the Montana Development Center (MDC).
From Caferro's standpoint, MDC was not working. There were reports of abuse and sexual assault and even rape.
It's MEA-MFT's jobs, as the union that oversees the workers working there, to make sure things are going well…not to mention for the patients.
That did not happen…repeatedly.
Someone told me that it wasn't so much Caferro that wanted it closed as it was Disabilities Rights Montana.
That organization, as well as Caferro, were concerned with the charges of abuse.
She tried to close MDC in 2013. Instead, MDC promised to fix it. More abuse occurred. It was decided to close MDC, the bill passed the legislature, and Bullock signed it.
We're hearing a lot of MEA-MFT blowback this week.
Boulder will understandably freak out because MDC's a pretty big employer there. So Democrats have to choose between advocating for the vulnerable or for union jobs.
Of course they can't admit that they're doing that.
Closing MDC is not a perfect solution. Many think there will be problems when it comes to shutting it down.
Still, if you're not going to fix it, the situation that caused the abuse has to stop. Maybe it, or another institution, can be opened in the future.
Sometimes you have to start over if there's no will to make it right. Caferro thought that and butted heads with all the bullshit at DPHHS for a long time.
She's suffered the consequences of going against the Democratic establishment because of it.
From the union standpoint, things are bad.
I discussed this firsthand tonight with a top official in the union.
For the most part, MDC had 53 patients. In January, 21 of them were transferred out of the facility.
That means those patients were shown the front door and told to do as best as they could. These people often have no families or support and they can't fend for themselves.
Supposedly one former patient was just arrested in Billings this past week.
So now the jail is housing them. Who does that help?
One big problem is that MDC and other agencies around the state simply aren't receiving the funding they need from the legislature.
Overwhelmingly, this is due to the intransigence of the Montana Republican Party.
They believe that using tax money to fund our needs and obligations is wrong. Instead, that money should be given back to rich people.
That's what Greg Gianforte, the GOP candidate for governor thinks.
Still, it was Bullock that closed MDC. He did this knowing that there were no private clinics open that could accommodate those patients, like the 21 we just saw released.
One irony is that the infrastructure bill that was killed on the final day of the session would have funded these clinics.
You can point fingers both ways on the infrastructure bill debacle, but the bottom line is that we've got a problem and people are talking about it.
When it came to Romano, she just wants to ensure that Montana schools remain the best places to get an education.
When I finally talked with her she was very nice and knowledgeable. Romano grew up in Helena and went to Warren Elementary School then graduated from Helena High.
So she went through the whole public education system. Obviously the system must be working. I mean, she got a Presidential Award for Excellence.
That's the main argument this election will be about when it comes to these two women – should we continue to fund public education or should we divert more funds to private schools?
Many of our teachers and our schools are struggling now. If we take away needed funding we'll be creating a mess.
Melissa Romano knows this and that's why she's supporting the current model, plus more funding from the legislature.
Conclusion
I think Melissa Romano will do well, but I'm not sure if she'll win. Honestly, I think a lot of it is out of her hands.
It comes down to Trump, and Hillary, and maybe Bernie and one of the other idiots still around.
When the final matchup is determined in late-July (and it could turn into a 3-way race by August or even earlier), we'll have a strong idea of what turnout will be like.
I've already explained how it'll probably go – if Trump is the candidate expect high turnout and Montana to go for him, most down-ticket races going for Republicans as well.
If it's Bernie I feel that the youth vote could get out more…though they're not getting out now. Worse, it's spring break next week, right when Super Tuesday comes. Think that's a mistake?
I know I'm not excited about Hillary and I know a lot of others aren't alone.
Hillary could cost Romano the election, but then again, it could win it for her.
Maybe I'm totally wrong and Democrats and independents will come out in droves to ensure Trump does not win.
I have a feeling they'll turn the tide and help him over the top, however, like they did for Reagan in '80.
We know Montana Democrats have a terrible time voting down-ticket as it is now.
Why is it so hard to fill in a few more circles besides governor?
I dunno, but that could cost Romano.
Funding is close and we've got about 8 months to go.
I thought that Romano would win because she has a great smile...
Greg Strandberg
If enough people get that flyer in the mail she's using, and enough people see that pretty smile on a TV ad, then yes, she will have an edge.
Is that a bad thing? I don't think so. If you want to make light of it, or even call me sexist, please feel free to do so.
Virgil Middendorf
Romano has union Get Out The Vote operation that can help her campaign. Most of the voters in the state like their public schools, so they are more likely to keep the status-quo. In Billings, there are only 10%-20% of the households that have children in school, so most voters do not care about this race. The state superintendent has no ability to privatize anything. That is the domain of the Legislature and Governor. The SBAC test results came out late and there were many internet issues when the test was taken last spring. That is a failure of the previous superintendent and the board of education. How will the current candidates do better in this area?
Virgil, I feel Romano is lucky to have that union backing her up. Is that a bad thing? Well, for her opponent, yes. That's politics.
I'd like to see some numbers on Billings. I've not read about this 20% household number. It seems low to me. I bet more people care about this race than you say, but I will admit it's low information and most people are not concerned or are not even registering it.
I asked Romano and the union rep about privatization and charter schools with you in mind, Virgil, figuring you'd come here and make a comment.
I asked Romano if, considering so many schools are so small in rural areas, if we should perhaps close those or privatize them. She said that'd not be a good idea and she doesn't get asked about it much. The union rep said we can't do that by law as we need equal funding.
When I discussed the issue with the university professor, he said privatization is bad because it will eventually lead to fewer teachers in Montana classrooms.
He told me that there's a growing problem with charter schools, at least in low income areas, to hire-out the work to people in India that just hit 'yes' on the computer all day when checking answers from students. Who does that help?
Romano said the first year she taught in Connecticut she was in a dual environment of public and private. She said the system was terrible because the state had split its resources, funding both. As a result, kids all over the state suffered.
I agree that the state can do better on educating people and getting test scores up.
But are you going to rely on the state? I remember when I was in high school it was pretty obvious I better get to the library and do some work on my own. Parents should encourage that too. We have an individual responsibility to educate ourselves.
I try to show each day what that can do for us.

Netflix's Online Business Model: A Mistake, Or The Future Of Entertainment?
Does encouraging binge watching make sense for Netflix?
Doug Mataconis · Monday, June 9, 2014 · 22 comments
The rise of Netflix as a source not only of movies and television shows that were previously either unavailable or only available on DVD, but also a source of original programming such as House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black has led to the rise of the phenomenon of binge watching. Since Netflix releases new seasons of its original shows all at once, mostly recently the second season of OITNB which was released last week, its possible for a subscriber to watch the show however they wish. You can watch one show at a time at whatever pace you wish, kind of like the way traditional television shows are released, you can watch a few at time, or you can watch them all at once in a sleep-deprived weekend-long marathon. It's the last option which has become the cultural phenomenon, its seems, especially this past February when the second season of House of Cards was released at the start of what was, at least for most people who work in Washington, D.C., a three day weekend.
Obviously, the binge watching option wouldn't be possible if Netflix released new episodes over a longer period, and Jazz Shaw thinks they may be missing out on something by not doing that:
[T]here does seem to be a clear disadvantage, though it may not relate directly to immediate revenue. One of the chief drivers for movies and television programs is word of mouth. You need to generate buzz and get people talking if you want to get large numbers of viewers. It's a commodity that no amount of advertising dollars can match. And the television shows that really generate this buzz do it week after week. One of the first shows that comes to mind currently is Game of Thrones. It's a huge success for HBO, and every Monday morning I wind up talking to people about what happened on this week's episode. Later in the week, speculation often crops up over what will or won't happen next, who will get killed off or how Tyrion is going to get his butt out of a jam this week.
That sort of continual speculation leads to huge in-person and online fan bases spreading the word and attracting new viewers. Fan forums crop up where strangers from around the world can debate, praise or curse the show in posts which go on for hundreds or thousands of comments. And this is precisely what's missing with Orange is the New Black, Lilyhammer and the other shows mentioned above. People binge watch the entire season as fast as they can and then it's done. They may go into the office and chat about it for a few days, but after that, what's left to say? The show is over for at least a long span of months or perhaps permanently.
Matt Lewis had similar thoughts last year when Netflix released the long delayed new season of Arrested Development:
Netflix has decided to release their original series' all-at-once. This encourages binge watching, which I enjoy. But it also serves to undercut the buzz they might otherwise garner as viewers anticipate the release of new episodes each week. As a consequence, their original shows debut to much fanfare, but then fail to sustain the type of ongoing commentary that, say, HBO's Girls, elicits each week.
Had Netflix release the episodes on a weekly basis, reviewers and cultural critics might have held out hope for the show to fix its problems. In this case, that's not an option. The verdict seems to be that the only reason to see this is for the sake of nostalgia.
The new model also creates some challenges for anyone who wants to write about a show. Aside from the problem of spoiling episodes, it's hard to write about any given episodes if you haven't watched all of the episodes (because someone will always point out a plot twist two episodes later that seems to undercut your point). Having not yet watched the entirety of season four, I am entering in dangerous territory with this critique. So if you disagree, let me know (I know you will.)
The best answer to the question of why Netflix follows the "release everything at once" strategy, of course, is that they have made some determination that this is model that best suits their business interests. Unlike traditional television, even pay networks like HBO and Showtime, Netflix doesn't have to worry about a particular shows ratings from week to week. Instead, the numbers that matters most to them is subscribers. The more subscribers they have, the more revenue their bringing in. There are no advertisers to please. There isn't the same kind of competition for nightly viewers that even networks like HBO no doubt pay attention to on a regular basis. Given all of that, there's no reason for Netflix to play the "come back next week" game the way traditional networks do. Instead, one of the benefits that it offers to subscribers is the ability to watch these new series on their own schedule, and it really doesn't matter if that happens all at once or a little bit at a time.
Instead, Netflix, like Amazon Instant Video, is aiming for any entirely different model of "television" — and I'm not even sure that's the right word anymore — viewing where what you watch isn't connected to the time of day, the time of year, or even where you happen to be any any given time of the day. Want to watch a few episodes ofMad Men, or an entire season of The West Wing? No problem, it's right there waiting for you. You can get your Frank Underwood fix all at once, or spread out on a weekly basis if you want. Thanks to Netflix and Amazon, viewers are no longer at the mercy of network schedules, time zones, or remembering to program the DVR. It's possible, as Shaw and Lewis point out, that they are losing out on some of that buzz generation that a weekly series brings, but they've decided that they want to move in a direction that doesn't require that kind of publicity. It represents a small portion of "television" viewing today, but it's only likely to expand in the future. While we may never actually see the end of the scripted network drama, it seems inevitable that viewing habits are going to change even more than they already have, and the more traditional networks are going to change the way that they present their programming as well. Netflix and Amazon are simply on the leading edge of that new trend.
There is, perhaps, something that we'll be losing with this new type of programming, and Jazz and Matt both hit on it with their discussion about the way in which shows like Game of Thrones generate publicity for the show online on a weekly basis. It used to be the case that television viewing was, in some sense, a communal exercise. Especially in the days before cable became a big thing, most Americans were watching the same things on the same networks at basically the same time. That's the kind of programming model that created mega-hit shows like M*A*S*H, All In The Family, Cheers, and The Cosby Show as well as miniseries like Roots as well as a whole host of national news events from the Kennedy Assassination to 9/11. Those days are gone, though. The M*A*S*H finale in 1982 had 105 million views, for example. The Friendsfinale in 2004 had just under 52.5 million viewers. (Source) More recent finales had even fewer viewers, like The Office's 5.69 million viewers, or How I Met Your Mother's12.69 million viewers. By comparison, Game Of Thrones is averaging just 6.5 million viewers per episode in its current season.
There was something to be said for the days when we were all watching basically the same things. These were shared cultural experiences that helped define the eras that they were a part of, from I Love Lucy to Ed Sullivan's Toast Of The Town, to Archie Bunker, Hawkeye, and Alex P. Keaton. That's where the water cooler talk that Jazz Shaw refers to comes from. Today, it's a lot harder to have those consersations because we're no longer watching basically the same stuff. That world is gone, though, and there's no bringing it back. We're all watching different things now, and Netflix and Amazon are simply following that trend.

I have often waited for all or most of a literary series to be released before I read it and then binge read so it"s not surprising I do the same with TV shows. I have discontinued Netflix but have Amazon Prime which has a good library. I binge watched Downton Abbey last weekend, the first 3 seasons were free but I had to purchase the fourth.

I think that most of the watercooler conversation has moved online. People will follow their shows communally in real time on Twitter (the #Tony Awards generated hundreds of Tweets). People tweet their immediate reactions , then often follow up with more considered reactions on online forums.
To understand how people can communally enjoy a TV series now, just go over to Westeros.org. For over a decade thousands of people had been following the books online at Westoros and other forums, obsessing over plot twist and character. When the Tv series came out, a whole new bunch of people joined, some even posting youTube reviews of each episode.Mad Men and Scandal also have their forums and hordes of followers, all discussing everything from Don Draper's latest outfit to whether Olivia will finally ditch Fitz.
These ongoing online discussions means that "these "shared communal experiences"" are still happening-they are just happening in a different way
I don't think the "all at once" model is going to hurt Netflix that much, to be honest. There is not more money to be made dribbling it out. They aren't the networks, relying on advertising dollars. The "binge-watching" model has more implications for the water cooler than the corporate bottom line.
Netflix's problem is and remains content providers and their rates.
I've been taking advantage of Vudu's "disc to digital" program for a while now. My Vudu library is now as large (although perhaps not as varied) as Netflix's streaming options, and I don't have to negotiate rights with anyone.
If Netflix is to have a future in streaming video, they'll have to make their own content.
@James Pearce:
They are doing that, and doing quite well with it. Check out House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black.
I'll look into Vudu, though.
Matt Bernius says:
The really brilliant business anthropologist Grant McCracken just completed a fascinating study for Netflix where, among other things, he suggested that thinking about it as "binge" watching is a mistake. What people tend to consume is all very high quality TV (i.e. Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, etc). It's more "feasting" than "binging."
Which is what they are doing — and so far being quite successful at it. Beyond Arrested Development, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black, Netflix has partnered with Marvel/Disney to create five new exclusive series set in the Marvel Universe.
So far, Amazon's development efforts have largely failed. Though they've got the money to eventually fix their model.
Which gets to Ron's:
I have discontinued Netflix but have Amazon Prime which has a good library. I binge watched Downton Abbey last weekend, the first 3 seasons were free but I had to purchase the fourth.
This is the biggest threat to Netflix. Amazon's business is selling Prime accounts and media goods. They offer streaming video as a loss leader to drive media sales. That makes them an incredibly dangerous competitor.
As will be Google and Apple, who both offer media streaming to sell their primary businesses: information (Google) and hardware (Apple).
It's nice to see Jazz Shaw take a break from proving he knows nothing about politics to prove that he knows even less about the entertainment industry.
James Joyner says:
I don't "binge watch" in the sense of watching an entire season in a weekend—although my late wife and I did that sort of thing occasionally pre-kids—but do enjoy waiting for a season–or even a series– to be over with so that I can watch them in a relatively compressed time period. It's far, far more enjoyable than the old-style model of dribbling out 26 episodes over the course of six or seven months.
The opposite of that is the Mad Men model, which gives us tiny binges of shows followed by inordinate wait in between mini-seasons. I despise that with a passion.
@Ron Beasley:
I have often waited for all or most of a literary series to be released before I read it and then binge read so it"s not surprising I do the same with TV shows.
Same. Sometimes I didn't even have to wait long – Lord of the Rings and Dumas's Musketeer's series for instance were conveniently finished before I was born. As was, come to think of it, Alice in Wonderland and the Narnia series.
I actually prefer the release at once approach.
@Matt Bernius: "So far, Amazon's development efforts have largely failed."
By what standard? True, their shows haven't gotten the press that Netflix has, but of their first batch Alpha House was renewed for a second season, and they've picked up several dramas to series. I didn't think much of the pilots, but apparently other people did. And they've brought in top-flight showrunners for a bunch of shows based on Marvel characters made under the Marvel auspices — not a terrible bit of development there.
So how are they failing?
@stonetools:
Check out House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black.
Hell, bud, I even liked Hemlock Grove. (Although I have yet to gorge on the new season of Orange.)
Of course, that's just the series stuff. The other day I watched some new and exclusive Trailer Park Boys stuff on Netflix. Indeed, it's thanks to Netflix (and a Canadian ex-girlfriend) that I was even exposed to Trailer Park Boys in the first place.
Their documentary section? A haven for independent producers.
I would think the last thing Netflix would want to be is the graveyard of all these dead shows that have big audiences and big licensing costs to go with it.
As for Vudu, I highly recommend it for anyone who already has a substantial DVD collection. Not every movie is "eligible" for "Disc to Digital" but a lot of good ones are.
@Matt Bernius:
I think much of this has to do with their decision to go with the "pilot" model.
They're not selling advertising on a broadcast, so it makes no sense whatsoever to go with the "pilot" model. We're not auditioning for a time slot here, after all.
They offer streaming video as a loss leader to drive media sales. That makes them an incredibly dangerous competitor.
Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon buy Netflix at some point. Not to pick up their streaming video business, which is hardly unique these days, but for their catalog of "Netflix originals."
Which brings me back to the point that Netflix's long term future is in original content, just as it was for HBO and pretty much every other cable network.
Just 'nutha' ig'rant cracker says:
This type of binge watching is fairly common in Korea on holiday weekends. Over Chuseok, for example, the entire season 14 of CSI was aired in 8 hour blocks. The same network then proceeded to re-air the entire thing three days a week in two hour blocks, the first hour showing the second show of the previous day.
That said, the average Korean claims to watch television about 5-10 hours a week and even I watch less TV here than I did in the states. I suspect that part of it is that my work day in the office here starts at 9 am and runs to 7 or 7:30. I don't work hard, but I don't leave until my final class is over at 6 pm, if then.
@wr:
You definitely will have a different perspective being inside the business.
That said, want to push back on a few points:
By what standard? True, their shows haven't gotten the press that Netflix has, but of their first batch Alpha House was renewed for a second season, and they've picked up several dramas to series. I didn't think much of the pilots, but apparently other people did.
Amazon is famously secretive about it's data. My guess however is that Alpha House was renewed in part so they would have a renewal. But beyond that, there is little evidence that people are signing up for Prime to access the original content (versus Netflix where this has clearly been a driver). Hell, there's little evidence that people are signing up for Prime for the video — it's a key bonus, but not the key feature (yet).
Without a doubt, that can change. But it's pretty evident that Amazon has yet to hit on the right formula.
All that said, as I wrote above, the key difference between them and Netflix is that Amazon's model allows for a lot more exploration. Netflix can't afford to have many of their series fail (to @James Pearce's point, Hemlock Grove is the closest they've come).
Amazon's chosen a far more experimental/shotgun model. It hasn't paid off for them yet. But that doesn't mean it will in the future.
And they've brought in top-flight showrunners for a bunch of shows based on Marvel characters made under the Marvel auspices — not a terrible bit of development there.
Ok, just confirmed to be sure, *Netflix* inked the Marvel deal — not Amazon. Unless there's been an another announcement since then (which Google doesn't know about). Apparently Marvel did pitch Amazon, but a deal was not worked out:

True Detective was one of the best new dramas on TV this year. Is anyone still talking about it at the watercooler? Is there still tons of articles being written about the Yellow King? Would there be any real difference if HBO had dropped all the episodes at once? We're trying to pump up "week to week" build up, when the reality is that a 10 month layoff is just as problematic as a 12 month layoff.
These seasons don't last long enough to depend on week to week word of mouth. Especially not the seasons of these serialized prestige TV dramas. The social media presence (forums, tumblrs. etc.), the critical acclaim, the accessibility of the show when its off-air… these things matter much more than week to week analysis.
The Amazon streaming app that came with my new TV is so crappy I watch quite a bit less of their content than I might otherwise. The only thing I can figure is that they want to push their set top boxes, so a good free app, such as the one Netflix has, is out.
@anjin-san: Oddly, I watch both Amazon and Netflix via my BluRay player and find Amazon's interface far superior to Netflix's. For one thing, the former loads much, much faster than the latter. For another, the former always has icons where I put them whereas Netflix puts things randomly where it wants to. And Netflix's annoying "feature" of displaying the shows and movies I've already watched with no ability to delete is just bizarre.
JWH says:
One other problem By putting out a whole season at once, producers lose the ability to adapt their show on the fly. If a particular character or plot line doesn't work well, a conventional TV series can write out the character or change things up by mid-season, whether through reshoots, editing, or simply rewriting a future episode. If something like that happens in the "release the whole season" model, then a program can't be fixed until its second season.
IMO, it might be smarter to realease quarter seasons or half-seasons, or even to release a month (4-5 episodes) at a time.
@Matt Bernius: Sorry about the Marvel confusion — yes, you're absolutely right. But the rest of your analysis seems to be based solely on your gut feeling. There is simply no data either to support or refute your assertionas, particularly about Alpha House.
As for Mr. Grewgills saying that if they were succeeding, "we" would have heard of them — this isn't 1983. Duck Dynasty was a big success, but until those clowns blew up in the press I'd never heard of them. Pharrell is a giant in the music business; until "Happy" I, along with millions of other people, were completely ignorant of his existence. (Okay, maybe until "Blurred LInes." I don't know who you are or what socioeconomict bracket you fall into, but I suspect it doesn't encompass all of them…
But the rest of your analysis seems to be based solely on your gut feeling. There is simply no data either to support or refute your assertionas, particularly about Alpha House.
You're partially correct – part of it is based on gut. But part of it is also based on following Amazon for years on the publishing and hardware sides of the business.
As I said, Amazon is extremely secretive in terms of its data (something that has driven publishers up the walls for years).
That said, I think the *lack* of news is a sign of underperformance. Amazon is extremely good at self publicity (see the Drone experiment). The *lack* of publicity of it's original video content indicates underperformance (at least in the minds of Amazon). Otherwise they would be using any success to loudly drive eyeballs (as they have in the past).
Seriously, when Amazon has a hit, we're going to know about it.
I appreciate your Duck Dynasty point, and it's entirely possible that Amazon is currently breaking even on its offerings. But, frankly I doubt it — though Amazon's model on driver products (like the Kindle) has never been to break-even.
To that point, Amazon is also *much* better at PR than A&E. The fact that after an initial PR push, very little has been done to promote their original video offerings (especially in the face of all the publicity Netflix has received) says A LOT.
I'd suggest that Amazon reaching out to top-flight showrunners is further proof that they realized that their current model *isn't* working. To me that sounds like they are shifting direction and going more in a netflix direction. To that point, I expect that we'll finally be talking about an Amazon "Breakout" hit within the next two years.
I could see both Apple and Google going into the video streaming business. I expect Apple to offer a video streaming option quite soon , to go with the music streaming service they likely have in the pipeline. They already have the infrastructure with iTunes-all they need are licensing agreements. They and Google will also be looking for original content.
I foresee a golden time ahead for those who can produce original TV content.
As for Mr. Grewgills saying that if they were succeeding, "we" would have heard of them — this isn't 1983. Duck Dynasty was a big success, but until those clowns blew up in the press I'd never heard of them.
Duck Dynasty was in the trades well before the blow up and if you'd stepped into a Walmart you would've heard of them or at least seen them. I know a number of people that have Amazon prime for reasons other than streaming and haven't heard a peep about their original programming from any of them. In contrast I have heard many people online and off talking about Netflix originals as well as Hulu originals not to mentions A&E, HBO, and even History Channel originals. I have heard a lot about Amazon but only had a vague notion that they even had original programming. That speaks to them being considerably less successful than all of the relevant competition, or they are far less adept at publicity than everything else I have seen about them would indicate.
@Grewgills:
In contrast I have heard many people online and off talking about Netflix originals as well as Hulu originals
Just a note, most Hulu "originals", last I checked, are all foreign TV series that they bought exclusive rights for. Not to take away from the quality of that content, but it's they are not programs that Hulu has specifically overseen the production of.
But I totally agree with your broader point.

FREEPORT — The Town Council will vote Sept. 14 on whether to send proposed Town Charter amendments to voters on Nov. 2.
The amendment discussions became necessary after a council decision to consolidate dispatch services with Brunswick's communication center prompted a group of residents to file a petition to overturn the decision.
Under the existing Charter, a petition to overturn a council decision has to be signed in the presence of the town clerk or deputy clerk at the clerk's office. Some residents said that effectively prevents housebound residents from participating.
In response, resident Marianne McGettigan filed a complaint against the town with the Maine Human Rights Commission, and another petition was circulated that would prohibit Freeport from contracting with another entity for dispatch and would require dispatch to be based in town 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The petitions failed, but the council continued discussions to update and amend the Charter.
In a workshop on Tuesday, Sept. 7, the council discussed what amendments would go to the voters, and held a public hearing at its regular meeting following the workshop.
Town Attorney Geoff Hole previously presented the council with two language options for petition regulations, recall procedures and overruling council actions.
The first option would still require residents to sign petitions in the presence of the town clerk, but would allow the clerk to deliver the petitions, ordinances or resolves to a resident incapable of getting to Town Hall.
The second option, based on Councilor Joe Migliaccio's suggestion, would allow residents to circulate a petition and gather signatures without being in the town clerk's presence. Each page of the petition would have an affidavit attached, indicating the validity of the petition language and the circulator's ability to circulate the papers.
In addition, Councilor Eric Pandora submitted suggested language that would create reasonable accommodation for a housebound resident to designate a family member or third party to deliver an ordinance, copy of a petition, petition signature page, or an order or resolve with an affidavit so that the town clerk or deputy town clerk would not have to visit the resident's home.
Councilors supported the first option, while incorporating Pandora's language.
Hole said he will draft amendment language and present it to the council prior to the final vote next Tuesday.
Another Charter amendment proposal discussed was the removal of language that prohibits a pay-per-bag trash disposal system.
But, by a straw vote of 5-2, with Chairman Bill Mudloon and Councilor Jim Cassida dissenting, councilors decided to keep the provision. Councilors in favor of leaving the provision in the Charter said its removal should be discussed in the future, but the timing is not right to put it on the November ballot.
Cassida said the removal of the provision would not endorse a pay-per-bag system, but the other five councilors said it is not the time to move forward.
"I agree that over the next year we should look at the whole concept of pay-per-bag and recycling, but not now," Migliaccio said.
Councilors also favored raising the threshold from $75,000 to $100,000 for a single capital improvement that would require voter approval at a special or regular election. They also agreed to increase the amount of capital improvements to be financed by bonds or notes exceeding $100,000 from the original $50,000.
Town Manager Dale Olmstead said the original numbers had been in place since 1976.

3B: Connor Rowland
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – In one of the longest games in the 19-year history of Felician University baseball, the Golden Falcons were defeated by host Palm Beach Atlantic University, 8-7, in 13 innings on Thursday night at Jake Rubin Park.
Senior first baseman Kyle Simon (Colorado Springs, Colo.) came up with an RBI single up the middle with no one out in the bottom of the 13th to give Palm Beach Atlantic (14-5) its eighth consecutive victory. The Sailfish are ranked No. 6 in the most recent NCAA Division II South Region writers' poll.
The contest, which lasted four hours, 41 minutes, was just the fifth in Felician history of 13 innings or more. Golden Falcon junior right fielder Jason Aponte (Loxahatchee, Fla.) was 3 for 6 with a three-run home run, and classmate L.T. Struble (Hammonton, N.J.) went 2 for 7 with a three-run triple.
Aponte's blast, his first homer of the season, gave Felician (2-11) a 7-5 lead after five innings. But the Golden Falcons' pitching wildness, which eventually led to 14 walks and two hit batsmen, became its undoing. PBA senior Ryan Johnson (Lake Worth, Fla.) scored on a one-out wild pitch in the sixth to chop the hosts' deficit in half.
The 7-6 score held until the ninth, when Sailfish junior Connor Rowland (Boca Raton, Fla.) led off with a triple. The Golden Falcons turned to freshman Michael Gutierrez (Garfield, N.J.), their fourth pitcher of the night. Almost immediately, Gutierrez uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Rowland to scamper home with the tying run. He then struck out the next three hitters.
Both teams placed runners on third base with one out in the 10th but failed to score, with Gutierrez escaping a bases-loaded jam. In the 13th, with Gutierrez (1-2) still on the hill, Johnson drew a leadoff walk, was sacrificed to second base, and continued to third on a throwing error. Simon's hit then ended the game.
Mikhail Cazenave (Gadsden, Ala.) (6-2), the last of eight Sailfish pitchers, tossed the top of the 13th to earn the victory. Senior Mac Hennessy (Weston, Fla.) preceded Cazenave with 2 2/3 hitless frames. PBA struck out 16 Golden Falcon hitters on the night.
The Sailfish plated four first inning runs, but Struble's bases-clearing triple capped a tying, four-run second for the Golden Falcons. PBA scored a single run in the bottom of the second and remained in the lead until Aponte's home run.
Rowland finished 3 for 5 and scored twice for the Sailfish. Felician's Bruce Strickland (Hazlet, N.J.) was 2 for 5.
Felician faces a quick turnaround. The Golden Falcons play an East Region game against Southern Connecticut State University at 11 a.m. on Friday in Lantana, Fla., before heading to Miami Shores for a 6 p.m. first pitch versus Barry University.

Q: Constraint issue with pyomo involving a scalar working on an economic optimization problem with pyomo, I would like to add a constraint to prevent the product of the commodity quantity and its price to go below zero (<0), avoiding a negative revenue. It appears that all the data are in a dataframe and I can't setup a constraint like:
def positive_revenue(model, t)
    return model.P * model.C >=0
model.positive_rev = Constraint(model.T, rule=positive_revenue)

The system returns the error that the price is a scalar and it cannot process it. Indeed the price is set as such in the model:
model.T = Set(doc='quarter of year', initialize=df.quarter.tolist(), ordered=True)

model.P = Param(initialize=df.price.tolist(), doc='Price for each quarter')

##while the commodity is:
model.C = Var(model.T, domain=NonNegativeReals)

I just would like to apply that for each timestep (quarter of hour here) that:
price(t) * model.C(t) >=0
Can someone help me to spot the issue ? Thanks
Here are more information:
df dataframe:
df                   time_stamp  price Status  imbalance

2       2021-01-01 00:30:00  12.40  Final         46

index = quarter from 0 till 35049, so it is ok
Here is the df.info()
#   Column          Non-Null Count  Dtype

 2   Status          35040 non-null  object
 3   imbalance       35040 non-null  int64

I modified the to_list() > to_dict() in model.T but still facing the same issue:
KeyError: "Cannot treat the scalar component 'P' as an indexed component" at the time model.T is defined in the model parameter, set and variables.
Here is the constraint where the system issues the error:
def revenue_positive(model,t):
        for t in model.T:
            return (model.C[t] * model.P[t]) >= 0

    model.positive_revenue = Constraint(model.T,rule=revenue_positive)

Can't figure it out...any idea ?
UPDATE
Model works after dropping an unfortunate 'quarter' column somewhere...after I renamed the index as quarter.
It runs but i still get negative revenues, so the constraints seems not working at present, here is how it is written:
def revenue_positive(model,t):
for t in model.T:
return (model.C[t] * model.P[t]) >= 0
model.positive_revenue = Constraint(model.T,rule=revenue_positive)

What am I missing here ? Thanks for help, just beginning

A: Welcome to the site.
The problem you appear to be having is that you are not building your model parameter model.P as an indexed component.  I believe you likely want it to be indexed by your set model.T.
When you make indexed params in pyomo you need to initialize it with some key:value pairing, like a python dictionary.  You can make that from your data frame by re-indexing your data frame so that the quarter labels are the index values.
Caution:  The construction you have for model.T and this assume there are no duplicates in the quarter names.
If you have duplicates (or get a warning) then you'll need to do something else.  If the quarter labels are unique you can do this:
import pandas as pd
import pyomo.environ as pyo
df = pd.DataFrame({'qtr':['Q5', 'Q6', 'Q7'], 'price':[12.80, 11.50, 8.12]})
df.set_index('qtr', inplace=True)
print(df)

m = pyo.ConcreteModel()
m.T = pyo.Set(initialize=df.index.to_list())
m.price = pyo.Param(m.T, initialize=df['price'].to_dict())

m.pprint()

which should get you:
     price
qtr
Q5   12.80

Over 300 ex-US security officials support impeachment probe of President Trump
Over 300 former officials from U.S. security and foreign policy agencies, including a former director of the National Counterterrorism Center and a one-time deputy secretary of state, on Friday, September 27th endorsed the congressional impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
Their statement said the signatories had served in the administrations of both parties. It also said the signatories did not want to prejudge the conclusions Congress may reach in the inquiry.
"President Trump appears to have leveraged the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes. That would constitute an unconscionable abuse of power.
It also would represent an effort to subordinate America's national interests and those of our closest allies and partners to the President's personal political interest" they wrote in the statement sent to news organizations.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week announced she would launch the inquiry after it emerged that Trump had asked the president of Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a possible rival in the 2020 presidential election, while delaying aid to the country. The news prompted a testy House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday with the acting director of national intelligence.
The statement was signed by the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia under former President Barack Obama, Evelyn Farkas, as well as the former national intelligence officer for Europe in Obama's National Intelligence Office, Spencer P. Boyer.
It was also signed by former officials of the National Security Council, CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, State Department, USAID, Homeland Security Department, White House, Defense Department, House Armed Services Committee, Navy, Justice Department and Marine Corps, among others.

Africa: Why It's Vital to Look Beyond the Hype About Repurposed Malaria Drugs
Jesse Gitaka, an infectious disease specialist, conducts research on malaria.
The Conversation Africa (Johannesburg)
analysis By Marguerite Blignaut
There are many examples in history of drugs that have been repurposed for different diseases. One such drug is chloroquine, which was and is still used for malarial treatment. It has been repurposed as an anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and, most recently, as an anti-viral drug.
Chloroquine was first produced in 1934, and widely distributed to soldiers who were training or stationed in malaria hot spots during World War II. By 1945, the drug became the standard recommendation for malaria treatment by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The wide distribution of chloroquine led to the observation that the drug improved rashes and arthritis in soldiers. Not long after, it was prescribed to lupus and arthritis patients globally.
But these patients also suffered from blurry vision, gastrointestinal problems and weakened muscles. To decrease the side-effects of chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, which is identical to chloroquine with the exception of one chemical group, was produced in 1955 and has been used since.
Observational studies in arthritis and lupus patients who received chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine over a long time period suggested that these patients were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, and a new role for these drugs as a potential anti-diabetic treatment emerged in 1984.
But reports have also suggested that high doses of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine can be harmful to the heart. We set out to investigate this and found that there were indeed cardiovascular effects which might outweigh the drug's advantages. This risk needs to be considered carefully, especially when researchers are looking for quick solutions to urgent health problems.
Anti-diabetic
To understand how hydroxychloroquine works against diabetes, it's necessary to know something about the human body's response to food.
Insulin resistance develops when there is a surplus of nutrients present in the diet (for example in obesity) over long time periods. The excess glucose present in the blood stimulates a continuous release of insulin. Cells throughout the body become desensitised to the extra glucose and insulin. They decrease their uptake of both, which influences cell behaviour.
In type 2 diabetes, the body can't produce any insulin in response to the extra glucose. Hydroxychloroquine stimulates the body to produce more insulin and keep it in the blood for longer by protecting it from being broken down. This gives the cells more time to take up both insulin and glucose.
But this does not come cheap. Hydroxychloroquine can also lower blood pressure, cause an irregular heartbeat and further decrease already low blood sugar levels. All of these are serious side effects.
The advantages and disadvantages of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as repurposed drugs have led to a debate in scientific literature about its use and dosages.
Our study investigated the effect of different chloroquine concentrations on the rat heart. We found that a single low dose of chloroquine is enough to significantly decrease heart rate and function. Long-term treatment with low doses of chloroquine worsened heart function in healthy and obese rats and did not improve glucose uptake in the obese animals.
Overall, our study concluded that the side effects of chloroquine on the heart, after as little as a single low dose, outweigh any therapeutic advantages that the drug might have for diabetic patients, especially when there are more effective and less toxic anti-diabetic drugs available.
There have been reports of heart complications in patients with diabetes, arthritis, lupus and malaria treated with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine. This has been blamed, partly, on the drug's ability to stop the cellular recycling machinery from working. This also prevents insulin from being degraded and can result in a buildup of toxic byproducts.
Both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine accumulate in cells over time. It's believed that this accumulation leads to some of the side effects observed after prolonged use or very high doses. Both drugs are still widely prescribed for arthritis, lupus and malaria, but patients are advised to undergo annual electrocardiograms.
From anti-malarial to anti-viral
Recently, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have come to the fore in the search for a treatment for COVID-19. This is because the drugs were shown to prevent viruses from multiplying inside a cell under laboratory conditions.
They were tested against HIV and the human coronavirus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak of 2002-2003. But these studies were mainly done in laboratories and rarely tested in patients.
A recent study (20 patients) in France found that hydroxychloroquine lowered the viral load of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The study did not report any side-effects, but has been widely criticised for design flaws in the methodology. This was followed by a larger study in Brazil where 81 patients were treated with either low or high doses of chloroquine. Within three days of the study, several of the patients developed an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). After six days, 11 patients had died. The high dose arm of the study was stopped, citing a 25% increased risk of developing arrhythmia.
The WHO recently suspended the use of hydroxychloroquine in a global drug trial. This followed the publication of a study that showed no benefits from the use of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, and suggested that the drugs might actually be harmful. But data from this study and others by the authors could not be independently verified, and have been retracted.
Top Headlines Malaria Coronavirus Africa
Way forward
At this stage, the scientific community warns that the hype around chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine could derail the search for more effective treatments. There is an urgent need to develop effective treatments against COVID-19. But there are also many pitfalls in small, uncontrolled drug trials, and the accelerated pace at which data is published.
If these drugs are prescribed for COVID-19, it should be done with extreme caution and a detailed risk assessment of the patient. The Food and Drug Administration in the US has warned against the use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine outside of a clinical setting or drug trial.
In the hope of finding a cure for COVID-19, it is easy to get lost in the hype and rapid publication of data. For now, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine should be handled with caution, at least until more information from robust and peer-reviewed studies is available about its effect on the hearts of compromised COVID-19 patients.

Google, Facebook and more will permanently switch to IPv6 by 6 June 2012
by Paul Sawers — in Insider
Major Web firms including Facebook, Google, Microsoft Bing and Yahoo, are coming together to permanently enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on their products and services by 6 June 2012.
Some of the world's top digital companies, Internet service providers (ISPs), and home networking equipment manufacturers have committed to a new Internet Protocol (IP) which is being called the "largest transition in the Internet's history." It follows on from the World IPv6 Day event held in June last year, which saw many of the same companies band together for a successful global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol.
The need for IPv6
For the uninitiated IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, which currently directs most of the Internet's traffic but is fast running out of addresses. IPv4 has approximately four billion IP addresses (the sequence of numbers assigned to each Internet-connected device), and the explosion in the number of people, devices, and services on the Internet means that IPv4 is running out of space.
IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol which provides more than 340 trillion, trillion, trillion addresses (a lot, in other words…) and will serve to connect the billions of people not connected today and will help ensure the Internet can continue its current growth rate indefinitely.
IPv6 deployment has been slowly accelerating in some areas around the world, but with the news that Facebook will be permanently enabling IPv6 on its main site in June this year, alongside a whole host of other giants from the digital space, then it's very much game on for the new protocol.
RT @WorldIPv6Launch: Facebook is joining World IPv6 Launch to permanently enable IPv6 on our main site on June 6, 2012. #v6launch
— Facebook (@facebook) January 17, 2012
World IPv6 Launch
Organized by the Internet Society, and building on the one-day World IPv6 Day event held in June last year, World IPv6 Launch represents a major milestone for the IPv6 movement.
"The fact that leading companies across several industries are making significant commitments to participate in World IPv6 Launch is yet another indication that IPv6 is no longer a lab experiment; it's here and is an important next step in the Internet's evolution," said Leslie Daigle, the Internet Society's Chief Internet Technology Officer." And, as there are more IPv6 services, it becomes increasingly important for companies to accelerate their own deployment plans."
Participating ISPs include AT&T, Comcast, Free Telecom, Internode, KDDI, Time Warner Cable and XS4ALL, and they will enable IPv6 for enough users so that at least 1% of their wireline residential subscribers who visit participating websites will do so using IPv6 by 6 June 2012. These ISPs have committed that IPv6 will be available automatically as the normal course of business for a significant portion of their subscribers.
Also, home networking manufacturers Cisco and D-Link have committed to enabling IPv6 by default on their home router products by 6 June too, whilst content delivery network providers Akamai and Limelight will be enabling their customers to join this list of participating websites too.
The fact that major players such as Facebook are on board is a major boost for the Internet Protocol. "Last year's industry-wide test of IPv6 successfully showed that the global adoption of IPv6 is the best way to keep web devices communicating in the future," says Jay Parikh, VP of Infrastructure Engineering at Facebook. "Permanently enabling IPv6 is vital to keeping the Internet open and ensuring people stay connected online as the number of web users and devices continues to grow."
With IPv4 addresses running low, the entire online industry is beginning to act to help kickstart full IPv6 adoption, but this is just the start.

The situation in the country has been unpredictable and unstable to say the least. While several areas in the country were experiencing relative peace, others such as the Eastern Coast were experiencing heavy bombardment by collation forces. The economic situation around the country has also led to a new wave of displacement around several areas, meanwhile some IDPs deemed it better to return to their war torn area than remain in the state of displacement. During this year ADRA has partnered up with UNHCR to provide Emergency Response to IDPs on the hub level. This implies that ADRA will work through both fixed centers as well as mobile IDP monitoring teams, allowing for a more rapid and timely response to IDPs. In line with this ADRA has established two additional IDP CommunityCenters in the Northern Hubs of the country. One of the community centers is stationed in the governorate of Dhamar and will cover all surrounding districts of AlBaydha and Marib. The other center is located in Hajjah governorate and will provide protection assistance to the neighboring governorates of Hudaydah, Mahwit and Raymah. For the previous two months, the project teams were trained in protection monitoring activities, while coordination for the establishment of centers was on way.
In the Sana'a IDP center Hub the protection monitoring teams were able to track over 950 displaced households (6,905) in the Capital as well as several of the surrounding districts in Sana'a Governorate. Through the protection monitoring activity the teams were able to identify and provide 1036 displaced households (7031 individuals) with Shelter NFI kits. Through psychological counselors the IDP community center provided counselling to over 519 IDPs, over 30 % of them were females. There was no change as to the main psychological symptoms identified, whereby PTSD and anxiety were the most common forms of psychological problems. Through the center, over 167 IDPs received legal counselling and services, with the most prominent cases relating to documentation, especially for females. Financial assistance in the form of one time protection assistance and rental subsidies were provided to vulnerable IDPs. Due to the recent rains and floods in Marib, many IDPs residing in makeshift shelters were affected. Through ADRA rapid response teams the displaced hh were assessed for their needs, with an adequate response in preparation.

Q: how add list, string and int into dapper select query At the input of the method, I have a model that consists of
{
   "Id": [
     "string"
   ],
   "Status": "string",
   "systemStatus": "string"
}
I checked the request in ssms and it works, but in debugging this method I see different result.
dapper takes the first id and return 1 users, but in the sql studio returns 6 people
public async Task<IEnumerable<User>> FindUser(Users model)
        {
            DynamicParameters parameters = new DynamicParameters();
            parameters.Add("@Id", model.Id);
            parameters.Add("@Status", model.Status);
            parameters.Add("@systemStatus", model.SystemStatus);

            IEnumerable<User> items = null;

            var sql = @"SELECT statusesid FROM userstatuses WHERE [id] IN (@Id)
                                          AND [status] in (@Status) and [systemStatus] in (@systemStatus)";
            try
            {
                using (var db = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
                {
                    if (db.State != ConnectionState.Open)
                        await db.OpenAsync();

                    items = await db.QueryAsync<User>(sql, parameters);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                _logger.Error(e);
            }
            return items;
        }

i try use string.Join(",", model.Id) but same result( how correctly add list, string and int into dapper select query

A: Dapper interpret sql "in" in a different way. Have a look to below conversion for in sql operator and try accommodate your change accordingly:
Sql Query :
SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE id IN (commaSeparatedlistOfIDs)

Dapper conversion of above query :
string sql = "SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE id IN @ids"
var results = conn.Query(sql, new { ids = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }});

A: if you have list in sql you need write only "SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE id IN @ids" without brackets and dapper will put them down independently
