Eugster, P.Th. ; Baehni, S.
Leveraged by the success of applications aiming at the ``free'' sharing of data in the Internet, the paradigm of peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has been devoted substantial consideration recently. This paper presents an abstraction for remote object interaction in a P2P environment, called borrow/lend (BL). We present the principles underlying our BL abstraction, and its implementation in Java. We contrast our abstraction with established abstractions for distributed programming such as the remote method invocation or the tuple space, illustrating how the BL abstraction, obviously influenced by such predating abstractions, unifies flavors of these, but also how it captures the constraints specific to P2P environments.

In their exploration of algorithms, we've utilized many thoughts to provide outcomes. Some ideas have used iOS-specific patterns while others have been more generalized. even though it hasn't been explicitly outlined, a few of their options have used a selected programming fashion called dynamic programming. whereas easy in conception, its software can once in a while be nuanced. When applied appropriately, dynamic programming can have a magnificent impact on how you to jot down code. in this essay, we'll introduce the concept and implementation of dynamic programming.
In iOS, design patterns can assist us time and coordinate how records is processed. selected suggestions include multi-threaded operations (e.g. Grand central Dispatch), Notifications and Delegation. Dynamic programming (DP) however, isn't necessarily a single coding method, however somewhat the way to consider about moves (e.g. subproblems) that occur as a characteristic operates. The ensuing DP solution could fluctuate reckoning on the problem. In its easiest kind, dynamic programming depends on statistics storage and reuse to increase algorithm effectivity. The process of data reuse is also called memoization and can take many forms. As we'll see, this vogue of programming gives a large number of advantages.
var total: Intvar destination: Vertexvar previous: direction?
What makes route advantageous is its capacity to shop data on nodes in the past visited. corresponding to their revised Fibonacci algorithm, course stores the cumulative area weights all traversed vertices (total) in addition to an entire history of every visited Vertex. Used with ease, this makes it possible for the programmer to answer questions such as the complexity of navigating to a specific destination Vertex, if the traversal become certainly a success (in finding the vacation spot), as smartly because the record of nodes visited all over. depending on the Graph size and complexity, not having this counsel purchasable might mean having the algorithm take so long to (re)compute statistics that it turns into too gradual to be advantageous, or not being able to clear up a must have questions because of inadequate information.

When I was a kid, we had a family tradition of piling into the station wagon during the Christmas season and driving around town, oohing and aahing at houses decked out in lights. We've continued the Christmas lights tradition as adults, only now we don't drive around neighborhoods looking for homes decorated Griswold style. Instead we find one or two big displays put on by zoos, towns or civic organizations. This year we discovered a winner with the Du Quoin Holiday Lights Fair in southern Illinois. Not only does Du Quoin display an awesome drive-through lights show; they include a big indoor fair, as well.
Editors note: This article was originally published in 2015 and has been updated for 2018.
Millions of twinkling lights make up the three-mile long drive-through lights experience at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds. Most of the displays are two-dimensional figures in holiday-related themes, such as Christmas trees, gingerbread houses and old-fashioned carolers. Others are three-dimensional displays lighted by spotlights. The displays around the lakes reflect in the water, creating an illusion of a double figure.
The lights display is open every evening from Thanksgiving through December 30. However, if you visit on the first full three weekends in December, you get an extra treat. On those nights the fairgrounds Expo Hall transforms to a winter wonderland, as well, with activities and entertainment for children and adults alike.
We expected to see Santa in the Expo Hall and have some light refreshments. Instead we found, besides Santa, well over 20,000 square feet of space decked out in Christmas trees, lights strung from the ceiling, a model train layout, a mini train that takes kids around an oval track, over 45 artisans and crafters selling gift items, food vendors, and live entertainment.
Plan on eating dinner at the fair, and get there early for the greatest choices. We missed out on the chicken and dumplings but enjoyed the pork chop sandwiches and big slices of blackberry pie.
You can spend the better part of an evening at the fair. In fact, it's a good idea to stay until the 9:00 p.m. closing to increase your chances of winning one of the prizes donated by vendors. Drawings are held every hour.
In 2018 the lights display is open nightly beginning Thanksgiving night from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The fair in the Expo Hall runs the first three weekends in December. Admission is $10 per car with no additional charge for the indoor portion of the fair. The Du Quoin State Fairgrounds is located at 655 Executive Drive in Du Quoin, Illinois. Check the Du Quoin Tourism Commission website for further details.
Accommodations: We stayed at the Fairgrounds Inn right next to the fairgrounds. Find the best Du Quoin area hotel deal, compare prices, and read what other travelers have to say at TripAdvisor.
Disclosures: Our visit to the Du Quoin Holiday Lights fair was hosted by the Du Quoin Tourism Commission, and we received complimentary admission.
This article contains an affiliate link. If you book a room through the TripAdvisor link above, I will receive a small commission, at no additional charge to you.
I don't recall seeing a vendor selling handmade rugs nor do I see a list of vendors on the Du Quion Holiday Lights Fair website.
Are the people that do ornaments there this year. I know they were not there last year.
Jackie, since we didn't get a chance to go to the event this year, I don't know if the vendor to whom you're referring was there or not. Unfortunately, the indoor portion of the Holiday Lights Fair is over for the season. However, you can enjoy the drive-through portion through December 30th. If you are still interested next year, you can contact DuQuoin Tourism at duquointourism@yahoo.com.
Thank you for reading Midwest Wanderer. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday and a happy new year.

Remember, for the purposes of this unit, a policy may be a specific law, a government policy with a name, or a general government approach.2. Choose a policy analysis method from the four covered in this unit. Think carefully about which method you choose, and some methods will be better suited to some policies.(Internal Policy Analysis, External Policy Analysis, Comparative Policy Analysis and Policy Discourse Analysis) I providing more detalis on the bottom of the page3. Provide an annotated bibliography. This is a list of references, followed by one or two sentences explaining what this reference does and why it will be useful for your analysis. Note: the sentences explaining the usefulness of the reference is what makes an annotated bibliography different from a reference list.The Proposal should be 500 words long. It is worth 10%.Give your topic a title.Clearly outline the policy that you have chosen.You may want to identify the parameters (such as geography or time) for your analysis.Identify a key question that will guide your analysis.Name your method of analysis, and explain why you have chosen this method to evaluate your chosen policy.Identify five key references on this policy area. These may be books, journal articles, policy documents, or policy analysis from a reputable source. Your references should contain both policy documents (usually found online on government websites), and more scholarly source material.Reference these correctly using the Harvard referencing style.In two or three sentences for each reference, explain why these references will be useful for your assignmentThe Role of Policy Analysis ( the methods)In brief, the purpose of policy is to achieve a tangible outcome in response to a problem. For this to occur information must be collected and assessed, options considered and programs implemented and evaluated. Sound information and knowledge about the policy problem, it background, and available instruments are critical. Typically, policy issues generate mountains of data and reports.Governments invest considerable resources in programs, even in the absence of any firm knowledge of their effectiveness. The complexity of many problems is such that they cannot be fully understood and often effective solutions are beyond reach. For example, the high rate of divorce is considered by governments to be a social problem and vast amounts of research and expert opinion relating to this issue can be readily accessed. But it is difficult to conceive of effective policy in this area and it is largely unknown whether existing family programs and initiatives make a difference.Nevertheless, public policy initiatives are always based on some (explicit or implicit) theory or set of assumptions with respect to the nature of the problem that the program is designed to aIDress. For example, labour market measures (such as work for the dole) are premised on particular understandings of the causes of unemployment.Politicians and stakeholders can be expected to absorb only a tiny fraction of available information. The same challenge will confront students in this unit when undertaking assignment research. Careful judgment must be exercised when sifting through the volumes of references resulting from a search of the Internet and electronic databases pertaining to almost any policy domain you can think of. In most instances obstacles to good policy have little to do with lack of information.Policy analysis is a crucial step in the policy cycle. Policy makers must be able to see that their policies are achieving the desired effect, so that they can justify the continuation of the program. In aIDition, circumstances might change to render the policy redundant, or politically problematic. New instruments might need to be introduced, and new measures might be needed to reach sections of the community not reached in the original policy implementation.These four methods of policy analysis can be used to this end.
Four Methods of Policy Analysis:
1. Internal Policy AnalysisThis is perhaps the most straight-forward of policy analysis methods, and the most commonly deployed. Put simply, an internal policy analysis measures the policy outcomes against the policy objectives. This policy analysis is particularly useful for measuring the effectiveness of a policy using statistics and other similar research. It is often conducted some time after a policy is originally introduced, as it will take time (often years) before the results become apparent.Policy objectives: In the policy makers words, what does this policy aim to achieve?There are many places we can go to for statements of policy objectives. When policies are first announced, politicians and relevant ministers often release media statements that state their policy objectives. You can find these on the politicians websites. Politicians statements in the media are an excellent source of this information. Better still, refer to the second reading of the policy in Hansard, where politicians explain and debate at length the reasons why they believe that introducing a particular policy is an important measure. You can access Hansard online through the Parliament website.You will usually be able to come up with a list of three or more policy objectives. Identifying and gathering these objectives are an important skill in itself. Be sure that you identify and collate only stated or explicit policy objectives, not implied policy objectives. For this sort of policy analysis, you need to work with the facts of what a policy maker says they will do, not what you interpret that to mean. (The policy discourse analysis will allow you to make a more interpretive assessment).Policy outcomes: Has the policy achieved the stated outcomes? Which outcomes have been achieved? Have they been fully or partially achieved? Which outcomes have not been achieved at all? What are the reasons?To conduct this evaluation, match the policy outcomes against the objectives. To do this task effectively, four factors are important: (1) Use as your starting point the list of stated policy objectives; (2) Use only credible statistics from good sources; (3) Ensure that sufficient time has elapsed between the introduction of the policy and your evaluation; (4) Ensure that certain variables or externalities are taken into account.For example:
In 1990, the Victorian government introduced a policy to reduce the numbers of people experiencing homelessness in Melbourne. What are the statistics on homelessness in Melbourne in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010? Take into account variables (increase in Melbournes overall population, global financial crisis, shifts in the definition of homelessness). Has the government succeeded in meeting its objectives?
2. External Policy AnalysisAn external policy analysis evaluates policy and its outcomes using external measures, instruments and frameworks. There are a whole range of measures that can be utilised for an external analysis. These include, but are not limited to:Economic measures: Is the policy cost-effective?Environmental measures: What is the environmental impact of this policy?Social measures: Who benefits from this policy? Who misses out? Who is negatively affected?Human rights measures: Does this policy meet our obligations under human rights law and principles?Democratic measures: Does this policy enhance transparency and accountability of government, or reduce it?Today, external policy analysis is often incorporated directly into the original policy design. When we talk about a triple bottom line applied to policies, this means that the policy is being designed with an eye to its economic, social and environmental outcomes, and all are important to the success of the policy (it is up to you to decide whether all three are given equal weighting, however).An external method of policy analysis can be applied equally to policy objectives and policy outcomes.For example:
In 1990, the Victorian government introduced a policy to reduce the numbers of people experiencing homelessness in Melbourne. The policy involved buying new houses for every person sleeping rough. Is this a cost effective way to deal with this particular problem? It also involves separating children from their parents, and accommodating them in dormitories. Does this policy meet Australias obligations under the Convention of the Rights of the Child?
3. Comparative Policy AnalysisA comparative analysis involves comparing like policies across different jurisdictions: such as different States of Australia, or different countries. This is a valuable form of policy analysis, as it is often the case that, when faced with the same problem, different governments may design and implement vastly different solutions. Alternatively, but just as interesting, different governments may interpret the problem in different ways: what one state may regard as a crisis, another may regard it as simply the normal task of governments.While a State-based comparison is a relatively straightforward task, an international comparison is much more complex. The policy analyst must first establish that the two countries are comparable: that is, they have similar systems of government, similar economic situations, and similar cultural and social environments. These conditions must be explored before any useful conclusions can be made about policies.Policymakers often look to international comparisons for policy solutions, and apply them (with adaptations) to their own jurisdiction. In a globalised world, this has become a common step in policy design. Policy analysts will also ask if policymakers are choosing to look at the jurisdictions with best practice.For example:
In 1990, the Victorian government introduced a policy to reduce the numbers of people experiencing homelessness in Melbourne. The same year Sweden and China also introduced policies with the same objectives in their major cities. All are different approaches. Which jurisdiction has produced the best outcome? Can, and should, the Australian policymakers learn any lessons from the policies from these countries, and if so, which ones?
4. Policy Discourse AnalysisThis sort of policy analysis produces much broader conclusions than the three methods above. Someone undertaking this sort of policy analysis will gain insight into the society and culture in which the policy exists. A policy discourse analysis asks What does this policy tell us about the society in which it is implemented? This method of policy analysis is particularly useful for sociologists and anthropologists and others who are interested in broader social inquiry.In her book Whats the problem represented to be?, Carol Bacchi (2009) explains this method in some depth. It is worth reading Chapter 1, which explains how to undertake this method, as well as Chapter 2, which outlines the methods theoretical basis. Note that Bacchi refers to this method as the WPR method; here, we refer to it as the policy discourse method.In the policy discourse method, the focus of analysis is not the stated intentions of policy makers, but rather the deep conceptual premises operating within how problems are represented. Analysts using this method ask not why the policy is implemented, but what social meanings contribute to the policy being seen to be necessary. Hence, policy discourse analysts aim to understand policy better than the policymakers.The policy discourse method asks six key questions of the policy (from Bacchi 2009: 2):Whats the problem represented to be in a specific policy?What presuppositions or assumptions underlie this representation of the problem?How has this representation of the problem come about?What is left unproblematic in this problem representation? Where are the silences? Can the problem be thought about differently?What effects are produced by this representation of the problem?How / where has this representation of the problem been produces, disseminated and defended? How could it be questioned, disrupted and replaced?For example:
In 1990, the Victorian government introduced a policy to reduce the numbers of people experiencing homelessness in Melbourne. The policy involved buying new houses for every person sleeping rough. What is the problem represented to be in this policy? Are people really sleeping rough because there is not enough housing? What is the history of homelessness and homeless policy in Melbourne? Are there silences in this representation of the problem, such as unemployment, or mental illness? Does this representation ignore other causes of homelessness? How does the media portray the problem? How might mental health groups question this representation?

In this episode of the Parenting ADHD Podcast, I'm talking with licensed child therapist, Angela Pruess, about emotional intelligence. Building emotional intelligence skills is an important part of raising kids with ADHD, kids who are often dysregulated emotionally and struggle with interactions with others. We discuss emotional awareness, emotional regulation, and how emotional intelligence plays a role in relationships with others and social interactions. Listen in to learn how to assess your child's current emotional intelligence and then work on building skills where there are gaps.
Angela Pruess is a licensed clinical therapist who wants to help you raise emotionally healthy kids that will change the world, by explaining the he(art) and science behind your child's developmental and emotional needs at ParentsWithConfidence.com. She also writes about childhood mental health and the therapeutic power of play. With her help, you can better understand your child, help them meet their full potential, and LOVE the journey of parenthood.
I have commented before & still wish there was a way you could have a transcript available of the podcast as it makes it SO much easier for many parents to "get" what is being said. I'm surprised you only have an auditory version since many parents of ADHD kids also have ADHD themselves, & paper/visual learning is much more effective than just auditory.

Who's afraid of Huawei? Understanding the 5G security concerns
By Emily Taylor, Chatham House, London, 9 September 2019
Emily Taylor examines the controversy around the Chinese tech giant's mobile broadband equipment and the different approaches taken by Western countries.
As countries move towards the fifth generation of mobile broadband, 5G, the United States has been loudly calling out Huawei as a security threat. It has employed alarmist rhetoric and threatened to limit trade and intelligence sharing with close allies that use Huawei in their 5G infrastructure.
While some countries such as Australia have adopted a hard line against Huawei, others like the UK have been more circumspect, arguing that the risks of using the firm's technology can be mitigated without forgoing the benefits.
So, who is right, and why have these close allies taken such different approaches?
Long-standing concerns relating to Huawei are plausible. There are credible allegations that it has benefitted from stolen intellectual property, and that it could not thrive without a close relationship with the Chinese state.
Huawei hotly denies allegations that users are at risk of its technology being used for state espionage, and says it would resist any order to share information with the Chinese government. But there are questions over whether it could really resist China's stringent domestic legislation, which compels companies to share data with the government. And given China's track record of using cyberattacks to conduct intellectual property theft, there may be added risks of embedding a Chinese provider into critical communications infrastructure.
In addition, China's rise as a global technological superpower has been boosted by the flow of financial capital through government subsidies, venture and private equity, which reveal murky boundaries between the state and private sector for domestic darlings. Meanwhile, the Belt and Road initiative has seen generous investment by China in technology infrastructure across Africa, South America and Asia.
There's no such thing as a free lunch or a free network – as Sri Lanka discovered when China assumed shares in a strategic port in return for debt forgiveness; or Mexico when a 1% interest loan for its 4G network came on the condition that 80% of the funding was spent with Huawei.
Aside from intelligence and geopolitical concerns, the quality of Huawei's products represents a significant cyber risk, one that has received less attention than it deserves.
On top of that, 5G by itself will significantly increase the threat landscape from a cybersecurity perspective. The network layer will be more intelligent and adaptable through the use of software and cloud services. The number of network antennae will increase by a factor of 20, and many will be poorly secured 'things'; there is no need for a backdoor if you have any number of 'bug doors'.
Finally, the US is threatening to limit intelligence sharing with its closest allies if they adopt Huawei. So why would any country even consider using Huawei in their 5G infrastructure?
Different situations
The truth is that not every country is free to manoeuvre; 5G technology will sit on top of existing mobile infrastructure.
Australia and the US can afford to take a hard line: their national infrastructure has been largely Huawei-free since 2012. However, the Chinese firm is deeply embedded in other countries' existing structures – for example, in the UK, Huawei has provided telecommunications infrastructure since 2005. Even if the UK decided tomorrow to ditch Huawei, it cannot just rip up existing 4G infrastructure. To do so would cost a fortune, risk years of delay in the adoption of 5G and limit competition in 5G provisioning.
As a result, the UK has adopted a pragmatic approach resulting from years of oversight and analysis of Huawei equipment, during which it has never found evidence of malicious Chinese state cyber activity through Huawei.
At the heart of this process is the Huawei Cyber Security Evaluation Centre, which was founded in 2010 as a confidence-building measure. Originally criticized for 'effectively policing itself', as it was run and staffed entirely by Huawei, the governance has now been strengthened, with the National Cyber Security Centre chairing its oversight board.
The board's 2019 report makes grim reading, highlighting 'serious and system defects in Huawei's software engineering and cyber security competence'. But it does not accuse the company of serving as a platform for state-sponsored surveillance.
Similar evidence-based policy approaches are emerging in other countries like Norway and Italy. They offer flexibility for governments, for example by limiting access to some contract competition through legitimate and transparent means, such as security reviews during procurement. The approaches also raise security concerns (both national and cyber) to a primary issue when awarding contracts – something that was not always done in the past, when price was the key driver.
The UK is also stressing the need to manage risk and increase vendor diversity in the ecosystem to avoid single points of failure. A further approach that is beginning to emerge is to draw a line between network 'core' and 'periphery' components, excluding some providers from the more sensitive 'core'. The limited rollouts of 5G in the UK so far have adopted multi-provider strategies, and only one has reportedly not included Huawei kit.
Managing the risks to cyber security and national security will become more complex in a 5G environment. In global supply chains, bans based on the nationality of the provider offer little assurance. For countries that have already committed to Huawei in the past, and who may not wish to be drawn into an outright trade war with China, these moderate approaches offer a potential way forward.
The Promise and Perils of Facial Recognition Technology
By Lyndsey Jefferson and Emily Taylor, Chatham House, 8 August 2019
Lyndsey Jefferson speaks to Emily Taylor about the increasing prevalence of facial recognition technology and whether current laws are enough to address privacy concerns.
One of the first uses of facial recognition was as a military technology in Iraq and Afghanistan. Earlier this year, it was part of a controversial trial by London's Metropolitan Police. How is this technology evolving to become a major part of everyday life?
We're already seeing it. Many phones and applications offer the choice of having facial recognition as an alternative to a password, which provides a convenient and easy way to verify that it's really you.
Of course, with that convenience comes a price and a worry about how it exactly works, who else has access to it and what it can be used for. The UK is quite unusual in that people tolerate very high levels of surveillance. It has the highest level of CCTV cameras per capita in any Western country. Those visiting the UK from more privacy-conscious countries like Germany are often shocked that people don't seem to worry about it.
A natural progression of that is those cameras become smarter and smarter and they're able to recognize people in different places. We see in China the controversy over social credit and the fact that as facial recognition improves, and as people are followed around in different contexts, they can be pinned to different locations or activities and be judged by those activities.
Critics of facial recognition technology say that it takes place in a legal vacuum, especially as the lines between public and private sectors using the technology become blurred. Have laws and policies caught up with the rapid advancement of AI and facial recognition?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe gives stringent protections for personal data, and the processing of sensitive personal data, like medical records and children's records.
There are severe sanctions and organizations processing this data, whether they are private or public, must take appropriate security measures and ensure that they are processing the data in accordance with the data protection principles. It isn't really a legal vacuum, but a sort of societal vacuum.
When it comes to so many technologies, not just facial recognition, we let society test them. We don't really know the impact of living with these technologies, what could happen if they fall into the wrong hands, or even the insidious harm of an almost 360-degree erosion of privacy.
There are laws and you can normally adapt the enforcement of laws to most things that occur. What hasn't really happened is a wider social conversation that isn't just policy wonks, lawyers or techies, but a wider societal base about whether this is a good direction to go in. If people don't think it is, how do they roll back from where it is now?
The FBI has one of the largest facial recognition databases, made up of around 640 million photos from driver's licences, passports and mugshots. Around one in three Americans are part of this database. What consequences does facial recognition technology have for privacy and freedom of expression?
It's part of a general trend where not just the state, but companies, almost know more about people than they know about themselves. Everyone is living with their Alexa, Siri or other devices that are always listening to them.
If you go back to the Cold War era, the Stasi in East Germany were one of the most organized and pervasive surveillance organizations ever. They had tons of files and miles of documents in storage on almost everybody in the population, but they didn't have a fraction of the information that is now available to free, Western, liberal democracies about every individual.
There's not just the FBI database, but going back to the Snowden revelations, a very wide-ranging sharing of data between private companies and governments. It's a strange situation because people know about this as a society, but don't seem that bothered by it. It might be that societies are changing in what they're prepared to put up with and their trust in the state. Or that they haven't yet imagined or been confronted with the harm to individual liberties.
They're also more trusting in the integrity of computer systems, which is not always well-placed, and data integrity is one thing that people don't really talk about. If you decided to hack into a system and frame somebody, or plant information about them digitally, hardly anybody will question that. There are studies that show that people are much more willing to obey a computer unquestioningly than they are willing to obey other people, which carries a lot of implications.
Facial recognition is much more advanced and prevalent in China and companies like Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu hold vast amounts of personal data from China's 1.4 billion people. How do public perceptions of tech and AI differ in China to Western countries?
I think there are different social norms and a different regime in China and so what's normal is different to what might feel normal in the West. There are also a lot of parallels in the way technology is developing and in the way it's being used.
There is a grab for as much data as possible. That makes sense when you think about what is required to really get AI away from just being a claim of artificial intelligence into something that is genuinely workable — you have to train it on huge datasets. There's a real incentive for governments, militaries and the private sector to gather as much data from many different sources as possible so that these technologies can be developed.
There's almost a bipolar reaction both from the press and individuals, where anything that's new is automatically to be feared. That's not a very intelligent narrative. There are many uses for AI and big data which could help solve a lot of the world's problems, like climate change, understanding the universe a lot better, and basic cybersecurity defence problems that are susceptible to AI solutions.
At the same time, people adopt technologies almost unthinkingly. I worry about privacy online and I have facial recognition enabled on my phone because it's really convenient. I think even this personal example shows that what people say and what they do don't always match up.
There's no doubt that aside from those general recognized patterns of fearing change, we're living in an era of incredibly rapid technological advancement, the implications of which most people don't understand. The governance of them is also extremely weak and there isn't an international governance of all technologies. I don't know if there even could or should be, but where we are now seems very far away from perfect.
Big conversations, particularly about AI and ethics, are starting, but are they really affecting the rollout or delaying the rollout of AI? It's around people all the time but they're not really coping with it in a balanced way.
San Francisco recently banned the use of facial recognition technology by city police and other government departments. MIT and Stanford University research found that facial recognition algorithms are not always accurate and have a race and gender bias. How can these biases be countered?
The whole issue of algorithmic bias is becoming more recognized. One of the major issues is these big technologies are being developed by a group of people who are not as diverse as the society. I was looking at the Stack Overflow developer survey results where they survey 90,000 developers a year. Less than one per cent of developers are in the over 50s age group. A very small minority are women and a very small minority are not white.
We were talking earlier about if there is a legal vacuum. One of the things I'm interested in seeing develop out of the GDPR is if there is a new right to be protected against algorithmic decision-making, or decisions made by a computer without any human intervention.
Right now, there is not much protection. The hype around big data, algorithms and AI is creating this hallucination that these are infallible technologies that are governing everything. Often, it's more like content moderation on the platforms. You get this idea that some amazing computer is determining whether something is hate speech, but it's actually rooms and rooms of tens of thousands of people doing the worst and most damaging job.
Those workforces are really downplayed by the platforms, partly because their working conditions are abysmal and the protections for them are almost non-existent. It's also because there is a real motivation to create this sense that the technology is far more advanced than it is.
A lot of the AI capability is not there yet. The days where you will have a humanoid robot who is indistinguishable from a normal person are still a long way away. It's quite hard and possibly pointless to try and recreate a human.
There is a lot of overclaiming, a lot of bias and very-far-from-perfect diversity in the people creating these technologies. If you have a bunch of under-30-year-old men having a massive societal impact, then the technologies they create will of course reflect their worldview.
It seems like there is a balancing act between protecting civil liberties and keeping people safe when it comes to law enforcement using facial recognition technology. How can a better balance be achieved?
I think more informed discourse about it and the impact is needed. Having a completely scaremongering approach to these things is also not helpful. The European courts and even the human rights courts have started to acknowledge that if you want modern law enforcement, it goes with the territory that they should be using the best technologies they can to keep everyone safe as a society.
In fact, the human rights framework is strong and should offer the necessary checks and balances to ensure that if you put powerful tools in the hands of law enforcement, there is adequate accountability, human rights are respected and access is done with a proper warrant.
But we know from countless examples that despite those strong human rights frameworks, the accountability doesn't always happen. It's also about acknowledging the difficulties of the situation. If you've got criminal activity to protect your society against, you need to be able to have those tools, but you also need to make sure they are applied with restraint.
Hypersonic jet: London to New York in under an hour?
LONDON - This Hypersonic jet travel across the Atlantic has moved a step closer after scientists successfully tested technology to stop jet engines melting at speeds up to 25 times the speed of sound.
Researchers at Reaction Engines managed to make a 'pre cooler' work at a simulated speed of 3.3 mach or 2,500 mph (4,023kph) - that means large scale hypersonic engines that could be fitted to passenger jets are a step closer to being realised.
Their experimental Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine (Sabre) is designed to be fitted to large aircraft to ferry passengers around the world in hours and deliver goods into orbit for less.
The company also wants to take people and payloads into space and return to Earth.
A spokesperson for Reaction Engines told MailOnline that although this technology is decades away from use in passenger jets, the technology could be used in more immediate applications.
The heat exchanger technology has a wide range of potential commercial applications and the ability to revolutionise the approach to thermal management across a range of industries; from aerospace to motorsport, industrial processes, and the oil and gas industry.
The 'pre-cooler', which lets the aircraft travel at high speed without hot air rushing in and causing the engine to melt was tested at simulated speeds of more than three times the speed of sound.
The breakthrough test was conducted at the company's newly opened TF2 test facility at Colorado Air and Space Port.
It comes 30 years after Reaction Engines was formed in the UK around an engine cycle concept to enable access to space and hypersonic air-breathing flight from a standing start.
The pre-cooling technology is designed to lower the temperature of the air coming into the engine from more than 1,000°C (1,832°F) to room temperature in one twentieth of a second.
To do this, the team developed a heat-exchanger to manage very high temperature airflows.
The tech is designed to chill air in the inlet of high-speed turbojets for hypersonic vehicles and ultimately will form the basis for the company's Sabre engine for low-cost repeatable access to space.
The goal is to incorporate this technology into their Sabre engine, which would work like an 'air breathing rocket engine'.
It would carry significantly less fuel oxidant than a conventional rocket, making it much lighter.
From take-off to Mach 5.5 (5.5 times the speed of sound), it would take oxygen from the atmosphere, which would be fed into a rocket combustion chamber.
Here, it would be ignited along with stored liquid hydrogen and then switch at high altitude, burning liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen from on-board fuel tanks.
Mark Thomas, the Reaction Engines chief executive, told the Times: 'If you can pull it off, it's a game changer. It kicks conventional rocket engines into touch.'
It did this by successfully quenching a 420°C (788°F) stream of gases in less than 1/20th of a second.
At low altitude and low speeds, it would behave like a jet, burning its fuel in a stream of air scooped from the atmosphere.
At high speeds and at high altitude, it would transition to full rocket mode, combining the fuel with the oxygen carried inside.

Israel to deny entry to two congresswomen after Trump's call to block them
TEL AVIV - Israel on Thursday barred the entry of two American Democratic congresswomen, Iham Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who had planned to visit the West Bank, the deputy foreign minister on Israeli radio said, hours after President Trump had urged the country to bar them.
Trump's intervention was an extraordinary step to influence an allied nation and punish his political opponents at home.
It was reported last week that Mr. Trump was pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to deny entrance to the two women, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and Thursday morning he left little doubt. He said in a Twitter post while Israeli officials were still deliberating the matter that "it would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit."
"The decision has been made, the decision is not to allow them to enter," Israel's deputy foreign minister, Tzipi Hotovely, told Israel's Reshet Bet Radio.
Trump's decision to recommend that another country block entry to two United States citizens, let alone members of Congress, was one of the most pronounced violations of democratic norms that he has engaged in since taking office in January 2017.
It also placed him at odds with the Republican leadership in Congress.
Many Israelis and Jewish leaders have also expressed discomfort with the idea that American officials could be denied entry because of their beliefs or criticism of Israel. Just last month, the Israeli ambassador to Washington, Ron Dermer, said that Israel would not deny entry to any United States representatives.
Ms. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, and Ms. Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, were scheduled to arrive on Sunday for a tour of the West Bank, partly under the auspices of an organization headed by a longtime Palestinian lawmaker, Hanan Ashrawi, that was expected to highlight Palestinian grievances over the Israeli occupation.
The women were planning to visit the West Bank cities of Hebron, Ramallah and Bethlehem, as well as Israeli-annexed East Jerusalem, including a visit to the Al Aqsa Mosque, a hotly contested and volatile holy site, according to Ms. Ashrawi. Most of the delegation was expected to depart on Aug. 22, but Ms. Tlaib had been planning to stay on to visit relatives in the West Bank.
The purpose of the visit, Ms. Ashrawi said, was to give the congresswomen a way "to engage with the Palestinian people directly and to see things on the ground."
"What are they afraid of?" she said, referring to the Israeli government. "That they might find out things?"
Ms. Tlaib and Ms. Omar, both freshmen, are the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Ms. Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, has spoken often of her grandmother, who lives on the West Bank, while Ms. Omar, a Somali refugee, is the first woman to wear a hijab on the House floor.

Restaurant Calzavecchio
The Restaurant Calzavecchio in Casalecchio di Reno is more than just a restaurant. Another place deeply tied to the memories and the heart of the Trombetta Family, rooted in the Bolognese cuisine tradition.

The Restaurant can host up to 300 people in a unique room, other spaces are available for events and private ceremonies even of bigger numbers.
Where today stands the Boutique Hotel Calzavecchio, around 400 years ago the first tavern of Casalecchio di Reno was born, l'Osteria del Calza, even quoted in the oldest land registers of Bologna.
Originally, it was a tavern with livery, which means it was offering wine, food and rest to those coming down from the mountain in order to reach Bologna and the other way round.
It was after the construction by the owner of a new local denominated Calza Nuovo, that the tavern became the Calza Vecchio. After the Second World War, the hotel and the Restaurant Calzavecchio were rebuilt until the last important renovation of 2013.
More than 2 years of work, respecting the history of this old building, yet turning the look towards modernity and the needs of the Art of Hospitality.
The menu à la carte is served in the elegant room Calzavecchio, that during the summertime is extending into the suggestive terrace for lunches or dinners outside.
Not to be missed are the Tagliatelle al Ragù antico Bolognese, la Angus Stake in a crust of Bronte pistachios with traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena and the inimitable Calzavecchio semifreddo.
Deployed in accordance with the tradition, revisited in a modern key, the menu à la carte proposes dishes of earth and sea and it is renovated every season.

swop-it
Help that arrives
Support for children living in poverty (approximately 2.6 million)
Projects tailored to sport, health and education
Direct donations possible via online charity platform
Knowing that your help will arrive directly
Many children in our society do not have it so good. This is especially so for the 2.6 million children in Germany aged 16 and under who live in poverty - and their number is increasing daily. This means about 20 per cent of all young people under 18.
Over the past two years, swop-it has set up the first Germany-wide, IT-based charity platform aimed at giving the necessary support to children living below the poverty level. It's help that arrives directly.
swop-it collects from throughout the country children's articles which are in good condition (clothes, books, toys, sports equipment etc.) which are then distributed under a fixed system directly to needy families and charitable organizations. Other donated articles are sold by swop-it at very reasonable conditions via an online shop operating under the slogan "Favorite Things At Favorable Prices". The offer is open to all-comers. The proceeds - once operating costs are deducted - then flow back into charitable works - e.g. swop-it-financed children's sport camps run by specially chosen partners, or visits to doctors, or helping parents by paying for urgently-needed sport clubs, meals etc.
A special feature set up by swop-it is its direct donation platform: Needy users can fill out a list online of what they urgently require. The list can contain four products (e.g. trousers, pullover, T-shirt, scooter) shown for sale in the swop-it online shop. Willing donors can then step in to buy one or more of the products, which swop-it then sends directly to the needy family. The want lists are designated by region, enabling donors to determine the town or region where their donations end up.
What makes swop-it operate so effectively?
- People from many social levels share the same network.
- Support for needy families and children arrives directly, with no detours.
- It's environmentally friendly.
- The direct donation tool means donations can be directed locally and accountably.
- Shop proceeds flow exclusively into charitable projects.
- The direct donation tool means every donor decides the region where he or she would like to help.
- swop-it is a guaranteed charitable operation.
- Health, education and sport are promoted. Equal opportunity is improved.
swop-it honor: In 2015 swop-it became an EU promotion project, based on its charitable and progressive approach to creating Germany-wide networking of the various levels of society.

There are many activities and restaurants in Destin, Florida. I visited a few of them with thirty blogger friends. The first was a restaurant with bowling. It is called, Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl and Grill. First there was some wonderful and unusual food in the Trophy Room. An example is Boar Sliders and Alligator.
The atmosphere was like nothing I have ever seen before. It is very mesmerizing bowling in a fish bowl! That is exactly what it felt like! You really have to experience this!
Lulu's is a new open air restaurant in Destin. It is owned by Lucy Buffet, Jimmy Buffet's sister. It has a beautiful beach atmosphere and is very family friendly. It also has fun, and music! Lulu's has very fresh seafood and supports the Gulf-to-Table movement which guarantees fresh seafood. I was amazed by this. The wait staff can bring you a tag which you scan with your smart phone. Then it shows you the boat your fish was caught on with a picture of the fisherman. Next, it shows you the chef in the restaurant with his picture! It is really wonderful to insure fresh seafood. Lulu's also has an Allergy menu. This is so great for all of the people with allergies. This is a restaurant you just cannot miss! It has great family and beach atmosphere!
Our last stop was at Wild Willie's Adventure Park. We ate fabulous pizza and had so much fun here! It has an arcade inside with 4-D Movies. Outside is a ropes course as big as a mountain for all of the fearless people! There are also several rides and a miniature golf course. So much family fun here!
WyLand Galleries with many WyLand Art Shows! Located at The Market Shops in Sandestin.
There is much more to do here on the Emerald Coast. This is without the white beaches and clear emerald green waters. If you are planning a vacation you will not be disappointed in Destin, Florida!

Q: Graphics Primitive Selector Goal and motivation
I want to build something that would intuitively work like:
Graphics @ PaneSelector[{True -> something, False -> {}}, Dynamic @ show]

as opposed to
Graphics @ Dynamic[If[show, something, {}]

The difference is that once PaneSelector is formatted then only information about show needs to travel between Kernel and FrontEnd.
With Dynamic@If[... whole If[...] needs to go back and forth. You can imagine that for large something that is a waste of time and may affect UX.
Ideas and problems
My idea was to build something based on FrontEnd functions:
DynamicBox[FEPrivate`If[x, something, somethingElse]]

And it works in some cases:
With[{
  something     = First@ToBoxes@Graphics@Disk[],
  somethingElse = First@ToBoxes@Graphics@Circle[]
  },
 DynamicModule[{x = True},
  {
   Checkbox@Dynamic@x,
   Graphics[RawBoxes@DynamicBox[FEPrivate`If[x, something, somethingElse]]]
  }
 ]
]

It does not work when:

*

*x is not a DynamicModule variable
Sometimes you just can't use DynamicModule and want x to be a regular global symbol. Sometimes DynamicModule variables have troubles of updating dynamic so you want to avoid it even if you could use it. So you can see that is a quite limiting factor.

*x is a nested association.
Assuming using DynamicModule you can use

*

*x = {True} FEPrivate`If[x[[1]],... or

*x = <|"a"->True|> FEPrivate`If[x["a"],...
It will work fine but it can't handle:

*

*x = <|"a" -> <|"b" -> True|>|> and FEPrivate`If[x["a", "b"],...
Requirements
My solution is limited to DynamicModule variables which are arrays/lists or 'flat' associations.
Desired solution should work with arbitrary expression similarly to
PaneSelector[{...}, Dynamic @ expression]

If not it should at minimum support global symbols and nested associations.

Taniyria Holt: 24-year-old Woman Accidentally Shoots Teenage Sister
Who is Alexander Yusko & Marina Kohkal? Ukrainian Rapper Killed By Wife After Affair
According to officials in Florida, a 24-year-old lady from Georgia was detained after accidentally shooting her teenage sister in the head.
Following the incident Sunday evening, Taniyria Holt, 24, of Atlanta, was arrested Monday morning on charges of culpable negligence, improper exhibition of a firearm, and a magistrate's hold, according to prisoner records.
In a police report, Miami Beach police stated the victim, who they described as the alleged shooter's sister, was in serious condition and had "no chance of life."
According to the arrest report, the incident occurred about 8:13 p.m. on Sunday when Holt was travelling in a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace with the victim and two other ladies.
"The group was recording themselves on cellular phones as Ms. King drove the vehicle. A firearm owned by Ms. Burden, a 9MM, was being used by Ms. Holt, who racked the firearm and observed a live round being ejected." According to the report.
"Thinking the firearm was free of live rounds," it continued, "Ms. Holt said she went to pass the firearm over to her [redacted] but accidentally shot her."
The victim was named as Dre'Naya Ponder, Holt's 18-year-old sister, according to an unredacted arrest record obtained by the Miami Herald. If Ponder dies, Holt is likely to face a manslaughter prosecution, according to the arrest report.
The teen was still alive Tuesday afternoon, according to police spokesperson Ernesto Rodriguez.

Netorare is the same as cuckold right? or is there a slight difference between the two?
From what i understand netorare is someone being taken away from you but from my perspective its more or less the same as cuckolding.
Anyways, my question is this, is there any Netori stories here, i don't think there's any japanese related tags here, i've been reading cheating stories for its plot(sometimes cheating stories have more plot than any other stories).
Netori is just the same as Netorare but the difference is that its the opposite, instead of having someone take away your significant other, netori is having the mc take someone else's significant other away.
There are stories that have netori elements in them especially erotica with protagonists that are literally built like a bull, but sometimes stories like this has many chapters but each chapter is a new woman therefore there isnt much of substance in each conquest.
P.S. i purposely named the subject vaguely as i know anything to do with ntr will repulse most people.
Btw, i have a question, there are alot of cuckold stories here, i don't know if people have fetish of being cuckolded, but if you ask me, i find it hot but only if it was me cuckolding someone, else my pride wouldn't let me enjoy it.
I don't know what this Netorare is, but below is the link to the page with all the SoL tags, as they stand today.
edit to add: a category search shows 908 stories tag as cuckold and 4,560 tagged as cheating.
Based on how you describe Netorare, I would say it is a bit different than cuckold.
First, cuckold is gender specific the victim is always a male. Female victim would be Cuckquean.
Also, while the terms cuckold and cuckquean have a history just referencing a person with an adulterous spouse, as a sexual fetish, they refer to a practice of making the victim watch the cheating spouses sexual acts.
It doesn't sound like this latter aspect of cuckolding is part of netorare from your description.
My original understanding was that cuckoldry, derived from coo coo, had at least as much to do with the results of the encounter as the encounter itself, to wit, a man raising another man's children, got on his wife, as a coo coo will leave it's egg in another bird's nest.
coo coo as in Cuckoo?
Yeah, I couldn't find the right spelling.
The Times did a recent study, where they analyzed discrepancies in family's DNA over time, and they decided that the long-standing rumors of 'the mailman's baby' (children being fathered by someone else) have been wildly overblown for centuries. It might be a common fear, but it rarely results in mix-matched paternity (notable exceptions notwithstanding).
That's (partially) the name of my next story, "The Cuckoo's Progeny". It's in the final stages of editing, but has nothing to do with cuckoldry (I originally wrote "duckoldry", which is an entirely different topic).
I always thought cuckold was the women cheating and having another guy's offspring but never really leaving her original partner while netorare, from my understanding, is the female completely leaving one guy for another. Just my 2 cents since I rarely read these type of genre.
On the subject of tags, I've seen some "gi" tags. What does that stand for? I've searched this site's FAQ on it and seems like it's missing the gi definition.
I've seen some "gi" tags. What does that stand for?
Girl -- no longer allowed because of the young age but old stories were grandfathered.
On the subject of tags, I've seen some "gi" tags.
There used to be 2 girl age groups and the younger one was gi - there are a couple of retired tags that may still show on older stories that haven't been corrected by their authors.
I going to guess "government issue", in WW2 what American soldiers were called, although the G and I were capitalized. I suppose Military and/or historical replace that interpretation.
The were called GIs, which actually stood for General Infantry, not government issue.
