The Centre for London, an offshoot of Demos, has produced a report considering what could be done to get more social housing tenants into work. I don't agree with all of it (not that you would expect me to given that one of its authors used to work for the Fabian Society). However, it makes lots of interesting points, including the particular difficulty in London for single mothers to find jobs that reward them enough to take.
Across the UK, less than one fifth of households live in a local authority or housing association home, but a quarter of Londoners do so. Only 44% of working age adults in these homes have a job. The figure is about the same for London and the country as a whole. But for single parents, London has worse results: 53% are economically inactive – 4% higher than the nation overall. Also 32% of all social households in London have female single parents with dependent children, compared with 25% across the UK.
The report says it is harder for single mothers in London to find work as fewer part time jobs are available, there is less likely to be a "support network" (grandparents etc helping to look after the children), and there is also a shortage of paid childcare – making it expensive and often inconvenient.
Conservatives believe that social housing should be a springboard, not a destination. There is not much prospect of this if the tenants are trapped on welfare. So serious consideration should be given to whether helping with childcare could be effective.
First, one of the key problems in providing childcare in London is the cost of renting suitable premises. For example, whereas the rent on a ground floor nursery in Stockport would be £40 to £60 per square metre, in London it would be between £100 and £250. Yet many social landlords can make premises available – for example, disused garages, workshops, launderettes and shops – at little cost. Social landlords will also have the business and administrative skills necessary to convert properties and run the business side of childcare services. The universality of this kind of service also makes it relatively cost effective. Highly targeted services seeking out the hardest to reach are very expensive and labour intensive, whereas childcare provision can be scaled far more easily.
What about a housing association helping single mothers, who are their tenants, to swap childcare? This is an area where the barter economy already flourishes, but could a nudge do more?
The Minister for Children, Liz Truss has noted that the level of red tape for childcare in this country is much higher than on the continent. The excessive amount of regulation is to blame for the shortage. The statutory requirement is three children per child minder. In countries such as Sweden and France the ratio is higher. The low ratio we have makes childminding a low paid job even though the charges are high. It has the unintended consequence of reducing quality by reducing competition.
Miss Truss is trying to sort this out. Even if she succeeeds, perhaps especially if she succeeds, the proposal in this report for social landlords to help should be embraced.

OK so this is so far one of my favorite things I did at work. The brief was to make a flyer for a diabetic young people organization to promote their hot line. They just gave me the contacts and the sponsoring logos and the rest was all up to me finally. I wrote down some ideas n talked about it with my creative director then we narrowed it down to the most suitable idea that can be executed and understood easily by young people and adults of course. So I came up with a "fun" kinda concept, which is the Lego man, and believe it or not the Lego man and the hammer were from 2 separate images, n I actually managed to make them look as one, I couldn't imagine that I can do that, that's what I get from working in the real world, anyway then I played with the sugar cubes n voila! Oh no wait then came the type I had some difficulties because I wanted to work on the hierarchy and be attractive enough n goes along with the "cartoonish" look. It also says "ALO SUKAR MAZBOT" its usually said when ppl ask for tea or coffee and they go like sukar mazbut which means the right amount of sugar. Now Voila!
You are one in a million, Mona. We hope to hear from you often (I've asked Mona to send an occasional Geotypografika story from Cairo).

One major trend noted on the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2015 was the revival of retro Seventies style, illness with Etro, advice Gucci and Roberto Cavalli all embracing the trend with open arms. Even Urban Outfitters have jumped on the bandwagon for their interiors collection. The Seventies have continuously been a source of inspiration for designers in every decade since, clinic and we can't think of a more fitting trend for spring and summer than the era of free love and fringing!
In particular, Asos have been knocking it out of the park with their new collections, and there's a significant Seventies influence radiating through. This stunning white Glamorous off-the-shoulder dress is a definitively modern take on the love child look, and will look gorgeous against tanned skin during the summer. If you're brave enough to show a hint of midriff, this Mochi Bardot-style crop top is bang-on trend with its rich earthy colours and subtle Indian influence. And for those of us who prefer to nod to a trend than to dive in head first, the Glamorous crochet sleeveless cardigan is so quintessentially Seventies and yet can be nonchalantly thrown over a simple vest top and shorts for drinks in the local beer garden.
You can always count on Urban Outfitters to deliver collections that are a little vintage-inspired and a little left-of-field. An a-line denim skirt will always evoke images of Seventies style, and this Cooperative number still feels modern and thus completely wearable. If you're looking to update your going out wardrobe, the Cooperative playsuit in rust just screams 'earth mother' in the 21st century and the navel cut-out detail adds a touch of sexiness. And lastly, if you're only chomping at the bit to embrace the love child image, then this stunning Minkpink Oracle Daisy print maxi skirt is a completely dreamy evocation of bohemian dressing, and we can't wait to style this with a floaty blouse and leather sandals for the ultimate hippie image.

I was born in 1977 in Chiavenna (Italy), where I lived – and studied – until my 19th birthday. I graduated with an MA in Literature and Philosophy at Scuola Normale Superiore, in Pisa, with a dissertation on the Communist cooperatives' cinema in Weimar Germany. After arriving at Corriere della Sera with a post-graduation internship, I spent nine years in the newsroom in via Solferino (Milan), as a staff reporter for National News (with regular summer breaks as foreign correspondent in Berlin). During my time at the daily, I took two unpaid leaves to pursue a summer school in International Human Rights Law at Oxford, and a fellowship at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, at the same university, researching migration coverage in European media. In 2011 I quit my position at Corriere; after a few months in the USA, I moved to South Sudan in order to train local journalists. At the end of 2013, when conflict broke out in the country, I moved back to Italy. In 2016 I co-founded Factcheckers, the first no-profit association dealing specifically with educational fact-checking. From October 2017 to July 2018 I worked in Fiesole (Florence) in my new position as Policy Leaders Fellow at the School of Transnational Government – European University Institute, with a research project on fake news and international policies. From February 2019, I am part of the research team at the Centre for Media Pluralism and Media Freedom (EUI). My fields of work range from communication to digital storytelling, graphic journalism, writing(s). I published several essays and books, with Italian and international publishing houses. I am a regular contributor of Donna Moderna and, less often, of other media.

This is a bit strange for me, I haven't written a blog posts in months and months! I am so sorry about this; it is genuinely down to me not finding the time or coming up with any ideas. Before I sat down to write this, I looked back to the last post I uploaded which was my life update after finishing my GCSEs. I anxiously awaited the summer for the year and was pleased with most of my grades. Now, having completed the first term of my A-Levels, I wanted to write about my initial thoughts and how well I settled into the change from Yr11 to Yr12.
For my A-Levels I started out with 5 choices really but by the end of the first half term, I narrowed it down to 3. So initially I had timetabled: maths, further maths, physics, chemistry and french. However, on my my first day, I dropped further maths as I realised that 5 A-levels would be way too difficult to maintain. I studied chemistry for about 3 months but I didn't enjoy the subject content and the way it was being taught, after a lot of consideration, I dropped chemistry and narrowed down my subjects. Currently, I am taking french, maths and physics and am thoroughly enjoying them all. Some may think that this is a strange combination, especially the french, however in the future I am looking to study physics and hopefully study abroad for a year with that - hence the language.
I've now completed a term of A-levels and am sitting mocks in my subjects. Lots of people told me that A-levels are a huge step up from GCSEs and truthfully, it hasn't been a massive jump in terms of difficulty of the subjects, yet (they'll get much harder as I go on), the jump for me has more prominent in terms of the different expectations of a student. You get so much more independence and if you don't want to put the effort in, your teachers will not spoon feed you. It's up to you to do well. Study periods become your best friends, I normally spend mine reading french books - I've been assigned ones to read but I always underestimate the amount of time it will actually take me to read even a page thoroughly! You're also expected to do lots of independent learning and reading around the subject - sometimes even things not on the specification, just to get a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
I actually really like this independence and am so glad that you only do a few subjects so you spend your days in lessons that you are truly interested in. What I would change though about my first term is the amount of effort I put in outside of school, I did get a bit lazy towards the end. However, I am excited to start up again after my time off for Christmas. This year, I only have exams in maths as I don't have the opportunity to do As exams anymore and the maths course that I'm on separates its exams over two years anyway. So most of my time come April time will be revising various maths topics - I'm dreading this!
If you would be interested in posts written in both french and english, let me know as that is certainly something I would be interested in doing! If you are currently a A-level student or completed them in the past, how do/did you find them?

Tree Peonies are known as the King of Flowers in the Orient. Botanically known as Paeonia suffruticosa, these plants have been exalted as garden aristocrats for over a millennium. Native to the mountains of Bhutan, Tibet and North China are more properly classified as shrubs.
Preferring wind protection, Tree Peonies will thrive for centuries in any fertile soil with a pH of 6-7.2 that is well drained and in a sunny location, in hotter areas a little afternoon shade will prolong the bloom. Space 4'-6' apart in well worked hole at least 2'x2'x2' with about one cup raw bone meal mixed in, water good, and mulch the first year.
They are truly attractive year round. After blooming in early spring and providing beautiful foliage all summer, they finally explode in vivid fall color, leaving the woody structure for winter interest. They slowly become gracefully branched shrubs maturing from 2'-8' tall with beautifully incised leaves and breathtaking flowers-great rippling blossoms in wonderful hues. Because our Tree Peonies are on their own root (a difficult and costly, but worthwhile propagation technique) they are well-developed, grow in a shapely form, have an excellent flowering habit and will enjoy life for scores of years. We offer only three-year old or older plants (blooming size) on their own roots. They take time to develop and require several years for full growth. Tree Peonies are sure to become the family heirloom handed down from generation to generation.

Vince Salandria: The JFK Conspiracy Theorist
Attorney Vincent Salandria, perhaps the earliest critic of the Warren Commission, is the author of False Mystery. He contends that the conspiracy to kill President Kennedy originated with the military and the CIA and was meant to be transparent, and that the decades of debate have been meant to add to the confusion and delay the reaction to the end of democracy in America. He was recently profiled by a major magazine. Also included is researcher David Ratcliffe's insightful comment on the article.

Fifty years ago Arlen Specter and the Warren Commission told America that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in the assassination of JFL. Vince Salandria has spent a lifetime trying to debunk that conclusion. Shortly before his death, did Specter hint that Salandria just might be right?

THREE YEARS AGO, Vince Salandria got a phone call from Arlen Specter, a man he didn't know. Salandria had been in the Senator's company only once before, but that was almost a half-century earlier, at a public event. When he called, Specter wasn't running for anything—he had recently been voted out of office. All he had was a simple request of Salandria, who was 83 years old, a retired Philadelphia school-system lawyer: Would you have lunch with me? They eventually met at the Oyster House, on Sansom Street in Philadelphia. The lunch would turn out to be one of strangest meetings of Salandria's life.
Vince is a man of high energy; he's still doing pro bono lawyering in labor relations for the city's schools. He's small—all of 137 pounds—with a large balding head that narrows toward his jaw. He has an impish smile, and it would be easy to call him cute. But he isn't, by nature, impish or cute—Vince is intense. And that was especially true when, as a young man, he attended an event held in Arlen Specter's honor.
In October 1964, the Philadelphia Bar Association invited Specter, then a young prosecutor in the D.A.'s office, to speak about his work as an investigator for the Warren Commission, which had been formed to come up with a definitive answer to who assassinated President John F. Kennedy. Specter was assigned to figure out the basic logistics of the shooting: how many shots, how many gunmen, where did the bullets come from? The commission's report had just come out, declaring Lee Harvey Oswald the lone killer, and the bar association had Specter address about 150 people one evening in a City Hall courtroom. Afterward, he asked if there were any questions.
Vince Salandria—who in 1964 was a history teacher at Bartram High School in Southwest Philly—stood up that night in City Hall and said he had some questions. Though really, his questions were more like statements. He said that Specter's analysis—specifically, that a bullet had gone through the President's neck and into Texas Governor John Connally in front of him, where it penetrated his back, smashed his right wrist, wounded his thigh, and then ended up on a gurney in a Dallas hospital in pristine condition—was a fabrication. An impossibility. An absurdity. A concoction that amounted to fraud.
Vince stood up and said that to Arlen Specter, back in 1964, before anyone else had. How could Specter come to a conclusion that was so clearly and patently wrong?
Specter was taken aback, though he remained calm. Things did get a bit testy when Vince said the commission owed it to the public to reenact "the performance of Oswald" with a rifle on moving targets; Arlen Specter wondered whether Vince would have them kill a man in order to perform a ballistics test. Vince ignored the joke; he didn't find murder funny. Dummies, he said to Arlen Specter. Dummies could be used.
Some lawyers came up to Vince Salandria when it was over and told him he should write up his critique, that it might be important. If that bullet didn't do what Specter said it did—travel through the President and then take a circuitous route in Connally—there had to be a second gunman, and the assassination was then a conspiracy. Which would make the Warren Commission's lone-gunman conclusion utterly wrong.
Vince went home that night and wrote his analysis, and the first detailed critique of Specter's Magic Bullet Theory appeared in Philadelphia's Legal Intelligencer two weeks later.
Philly Mag's Gaeton Fonzi Questions Specter in 1966
Arlen Specter working on the Warren Commission
That was just the beginning. Vince quickly became part of a small, loose collective of Warren Commission debunkers. He wrote more articles and shared his thinking with fellow researchers; Jim Garrison, the New Orleans district attorney portrayed in Oliver Stone's JFK, asked Vince to edit one of his books. Vince is front and center in Calvin Trillin's 1967 New Yorker portrayal of conspiracy researchers. He made speeches. And if anything, his conclusion—what he surmised almost immediately when the President was murdered—has only grown firmer over the years: Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA and the U.S. military, not Lee Harvey Oswald.
Specter, meanwhile, went on to become … Arlen Specter. The bulldog senator who brought us the infamous battles over Robert Bork and Anita Hill. Specter never seemed to shy away from a good fight, and throughout his 30-year reign in the Senate, the Magic Bullet Theory followed him everywhere. It became theater at every public event and campaign stop where Specter fielded questions, the Senator pantomiming the movement of Commission Exhibit 399 through the President's neck, out his tie knot in front and so forth. The questions never abated; his response was always the same: one gunman.
Specter would realize early on that he could thwart a lot of public animosity by asking a Magic Bullet skeptic if he had actually read the Warren Commission Report. Almost always, the answer was no.
But Vince Salandria had read it. He read the entire report—all 888 pages—within a couple of weeks of it coming out. So he was ready for Arlen Specter at the meeting in City Hall back in 1964.
The two men had never discussed that night when Vince accused Specter of fraud—they had never even had a conversation before Specter called Vince out of the blue to ask him to lunch. They met in January 2012 at the Oyster House, one year after Specter's five terms in the Senate were over. Later that year, Specter would be hit by a third round of cancer. By that October, he was dead.
At their lunch, Arlen Specter had a question for Vince Salandria.

ON NEW YEAR'S EVE 1963, Specter got a call from a Yale Law School classmate, Harold Willens. Willens, a Warren Commission staff member, was searching for lawyers to work on the investigation. Already known as a tough prosecutor in Philadelphia, Specter had caught the attention of Attorney General Bobby Kennedy when he sent local Teamster boss Raymond Cohen to jail. It didn't take Specter long to say yes to Willens, and from that moment forward he was working for the American government, seeking not just the answer to who killed the President, but also for a way to assure the American people that what had happened in Dallas wasn't a harbinger of the Cold War getting out of control, that the world order hadn't suddenly gone haywire.
Vince Salandria's take on the assassination—and his mission—was quite different. But JFK's killing would become central to his life, perhaps just as much as it was to Arlen Specter's.
When the President was killed, Salandria was sure of something immediately: If Lee Harvey Oswald didn't make it through that weekend alive, it meant the U.S. government was complicit in the President's murder.
Like the rest of the nation, Vince watched on TV as Jack Ruby shot Oswald that Sunday. "I realized then that we didn't have a democracy, we didn't have a republican form of government anymore," Vince says now, 50 years after the fact. "I knew that no innocent government would have permitted Oswald to be killed. Because if he was in fact guilty, they would want the world to know about him, and he would be convicted with due process, and we would show off our democratic justice system. So I realized that … our government did it. At the very highest level.
"I realized that it was dreadful for the nation, and dreadful for me, because I felt that somehow or other I was fixated on it and would have to investigate it. Would I live through this?"
Vince Salandria was a busy man in 1963. He was 35, married, with a young adopted son, and teaching history at Bartram; he was also a Penn-trained lawyer who did legal work on the side. But Vince had a problem. He landed almost immediately, he says, on why he believed President Kennedy was murdered: The military wanted him rubbed out because he had started getting friendly with Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev after the two leaders' flirtation with holocaust, and because Kennedy wanted to get out of Vietnam; both those things, from the military's point of view, would be bad for business. So the CIA killed the President at the military's behest.
Vince wasn't so bold, though, as to think his investigation would lead anywhere. If his theory was true, he was fighting very powerful forces. And the Warren Commission's conclusion that the assassination was the work of Oswald—and only Oswald—made the sledding that much tougher for Vince; in 1964, the American public tended to trust that big-name Washington commissions could find, and then would be willing to reveal, the truth.
Vince didn't believe that, though, and he couldn't stop himself. He had graduated from Penn Phi Beta Kappa in three years, then stayed to get that law degree at age 23, but he's fond of pointing out that he comes from Italian peasant stock—his father emigrated from a Southern Italian village by himself at age 13—and that his conspiracy claims stem first from intuition and then from a review of the facts, which he insists in this case aren't very complicated. As to why he's so driven in the way he's driven, that seems innate.
"I was born with an almost underdog complex," he explains. "I identified with the underdog from the beginning."
Vince grew up in a South Philly rowhouse across from St. Agnes Hospital, one of eight children. His job as a boy was to deliver clothes uptown for his father, who was a tailor. One day, when he was 13, Vince was cutting through the ghetto and came upon two white cops savagely beating a black man. Blood poured from the man, and the cops kept right on beating him.
"That shocked me," Vince says. "Power can't treat human beings like this."
At the same age—in 1941—Vince would go to school one day in December and regale his math class with the real meaning of what had just happened in the Pacific: The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor was orchestrated by the American government, he told his classmates. It was President Roosevelt's way of drawing a reluctant nation into war. That's the way Vince thought at 13.
It's quite easy, in fact, to imagine him lecturing his young classmates about the nature of American power, because now, at 85—at the other end of his life—the passion and sureness still flare. There's no doubting Vince's sincerity, nor his rage: The President's assassination scared him, he says, "and it angered me. Angered me! I was furious!"
So off he would go, to Dallas in the summer of 1964—even before the confrontation with Arlen Specter in City Hall—to see what he could learn.
Specter, meanwhile, was hard at work with the Warren Commission, upon which there was enormous pressure. President Johnson had played on the fear of a highly nervous time in wooing high-level Washington figures to join the investigation. Commission head Earl Warren, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, shared Johnson's message with his staff: Conspiracy theories involving Russia, Cuba, the military-industrial complex, and even Johnson himself were already in play; if they were believed to be true, the President warned, the Kennedy assassination could lead America into a nuclear war that could kill 40 million people.
Lee Harvey Oswald panning out as a lone assassin would, of course, solve those problems. Earl Warren, even as he warned his commissioners that they weren't advocates, that their conclusions would be based on wherever the evidence took them, had another directive: Make it snappy. The commission was under serious time and budget constraints. Warren would sit in on some testimony Arlen Specter would take from key witnesses, and he had an annoying habit: The Chief Justice would loudly tap his fingers, his signal to Specter to stop asking questions, to be done with it.
THE DEEPER HE DELVED into the assassination, Vince Salandria says, the more strange things began to happen to him.
In the summer of 1965, Vince made his second trip to Dallas, this time with Shirley Martin, a fellow assassination researcher who lived in Hominy, Oklahoma. He picked her up in his 1955 Buick one night, and the trip would immediately give them a harrowing sense that they weren't traveling alone.
As they were leaving Hominy, with Shirley at the wheel, a local cop stopped them and wondered where they were going. On a trip, Shirley said.
"Watch your speed," the officer told her. "Watch where you're going."
They drove all night, making it to Dealey Plaza in Dallas at about 6:30 the next morning. As they walked around the site of the assassination, a big man with a beard, wearing sandals, probably in his mid-50s, came out of a building and approached them.
"How's Mark Lane?" he said to Vince. Lane, who would become well-known for his assassination research, had already written a few magazine pieces questioning the Warren Commission. Salandria and Lane had exchanged information.
Vince didn't answer the man.
"Do you know what this is?" the man said, gesturing to the buildings around them. "It's a WPA project. Tell Mark Lane to put in his next article that President Kennedy, a socialist president, was killed in a socialist plaza."
The man moved off, leaving Vince with no idea how he'd known who Vince was.
Shirley and Vince next went to see Michael and Ruth Paine, a couple who had befriended Oswald in 1963. Michael Paine didn't know Vince—and didn't, Vince says, know he was coming with Shirley, who had set up the visit—but Paine immediately said to him, "Why don't you continue your work in civil liberties and civil rights?" Vince had been a volunteer lawyer for the ACLU for a number of years. "Why are you doing this?"
Vince and Shirley drove to Fort Worth to see Marguerite Oswald, Lee's mother.
"She made it quite clear," Vince says, "that her son was a CIA agent—she was quite proud of it." She said that she went to Washington after Lee had supposedly defected to Russia, visited the State Department, and they gave her the red-carpet treatment.
So Vince learned something important, but mostly what he took from this foray to Dallas was a message from, he believed, his government. "I got a thorough understanding of how impotent I was and how much in control they were," he says.
Arlen Specter made his own trips to Dallas, to ask questions of a different sort.
Darrell Tomlinson was the senior engineer at Parkland Memorial Hospital who allegedly found on a stretcher the bullet that, Specter would argue, had hit the President and then Governor Connally—the Magic Bullet. But Tomlinson became a difficult witness when Specter questioned him under oath, saying he really wasn't sure he'd found the bullet on Connally's stretcher. After much back-and-forth over gurneys, Specter pressed:
SPECTER. Now, before I started to ask you questions under oath … I told you, did I not, that the Secret Service man wrote a report where he said that the bullet was found on the stretcher which you took off of the elevator—I called that to your attention, didn't I?
TOMLINSON. Yes; you told me that.
SPECTER. Now, after I tell you that, does that have any effect on refreshing your recollection of what you told the Secret Service man?
TOMLINSON. No it really doesn't—it really doesn't.
A moment later:
TOMLINSON. I don't remember telling him definitely—I know we talked about it, and I told him that it could have been. Now, he might have drawed his own conclusion on that.
Specter pressed a bit more, and got this response:
TOMLINSON. I'm going to tell you all I can, and I'm not going to tell you something I can't lay down and sleep at night with either.
Nevertheless, that bullet, the commission concluded, was found on Connally's stretcher.
Specter certainly won some points. He got Malcolm Perry, the Parkland Hospital doctor who cut into President Kennedy's throat wound for a tracheotomy, to say that the wound could have been caused by an exiting bullet; it was crucial to Specter's thesis that a bullet entering from behind Kennedy had come out his throat. Before Specter questioned him, Perry had already said publicly that the injury was an entrance wound, and years later he would regret his testimony to the commission, because he had no doubt: Kennedy had been shot from the front.
Specter was even accused by one witness of making outright threats. Jean Hill was sure she heard between four and six shots in Dealey Plaza, meaning there had to be more than one gunman. Specter, Hill wrote in a 1992 book with Bill Sloan about the experience, told her before he took her testimony that he knew all about her; Specter accused Hill of engaging in a "shabby extramarital affair" and said that unless she cooperated, she would be "very, very sorry." She wrote that Specter threatened to make her seem as crazy as Marguerite Oswald, Lee Harvey's mother. Hill's testimony as released by the Warren Commission, which she claimed was inaccurate, is a study in ambiguity.
All this proves nothing one way or another, but Specter's aggression is certainly quite … familiar. His Warren Commission work is an early glimpse—Specter was 33 when President Kennedy was shot—of the relentless prosecutor who would emerge onto a national stage three decades later in those Robert Bork and Anita Hill hearings.
Vince Salandria, though, sees Specter's work for the Warren Commission as quite simple and clear: There was one intent, to prove that one loony gunman did it. To build a case. And Arlen Specter was brilliant at building cases.
GAETON FONZI, a writer for this magazine in the '60s, had read Vince's critique of Arlen Specter's single-bullet theory in the Legal Intelligencer at the end of 1964. He thought he might write a short piece "about this crazy Salandria guy," he later said. Fonzi, like most people in 1964, believed an official government report provided us with the truth.
Fonzi and another Philadelphia staff writer, Bernard McCormick, met up with Vince in a Wildwood motel room in 1966—the writers were working on a light piece about the Shore, and Vince was happy to make the trek down. McCormick remembers the meeting well (Fonzi died in 2012): "Vince was small and gaunt, and incredibly intense. He looked like a madman. I remember he kept saying, 'Boys, don't you see it? Don't you see it?' And within 45 minutes, just based on the physical evidence, he had convinced us the Warren Commission was bullshit."
Vince would later have something else for them: a complete set of the Warren Commission report, all 26 volumes. Fonzi got hooked. Salandria would prep him for two long interviews with Arlen Specter the next year about the commission's work; Specter's evasiveness and inability to explain inconsistencies in the findings are chilling. (A recording of those interviews can be heard, here.)
The Warren Commission, for example, didn't examine the Kennedy autopsy X-rays and photographs—supposedly in deference to the Kennedy family. That was crucial evidence, and Fonzi went right after Specter over not having seen it. From Fonzi's Philadelphia story, published in August 1966:
"Did I ask to see the X-rays and photographs?" he [Specter] said, putting his head down, rubbing his chin and pausing for a long period to phrase his answer. "Aaaaah … that question was considered by me," he finally said, "and … aaah … the commission decided not to press for the X-rays and photographs."
He looked up. "Have I dodged your question? … Yes, I've dodged your question."
He got up and paced behind his desk. Finally, he said quietly, "I don't want to dodge your questions."
Specter said that he had wanted to see the autopsy photographs and X-rays, but that "the commission reached the conclusion that it was not necessary."
Fonzi asked Specter if he considered resigning over that.
"Absolutely not," Specter said. "I would say absolutely not."
But Fonzi would go on to dig deeper, talking to other commission staffers, and found out "that Specter was actually in tears when his argument [to see that evidence] was rejected."
Fonzi left Specter's office after those interviews with an entirely different level of trust in the U.S. government. But his devastating piece on Specter speaks, once again, to the acute pressure the commission felt—pressure that fell on Specter in particular.
Meanwhile, through the '60s, Vince Salandria kept at it. His home, then on Delancey Street, was something of a meeting place among conspiracy theorists: Mark Lane, Fonzi, anti-war activist Dave Dellinger. Benjamin Spock showed up one night. Norman Mailer sent Vince a note on behalf of another researcher, requesting that Vince hear him out. Marie Fonzi, Gaeton's widow, can still remember Vince at the center of it all: "He was like Sophocles," she says, in the way he could make a case that not getting to the bottom of the assassination spelled doom for all of us.
Yet there was a cost to Vince. He left his true calling, teaching, in 1967, because his fellow teachers at Bartram High School stopped talking to him; they couldn't abide his conspiracy theories, which Vince shared openly and constantly with his students. The administration wasn't the problem—Vince was shunned by his colleagues. So off he went, into administrative work.
Vince began to feel his safety was at risk—he had doubled his life insurance before taking his mid-'60s trips to Dallas. He would eventually learn the FBI created a file on him. The most daunting warning came, as Vince would tell a writer chronicling conspiracy theorists, after a panel discussion with Yale professor Jacob Cohen, who supported the Warren Commission, in Boston in 1966.
Late that night, there was a knock on Vince's hotel door. It was Cohen. "I feel horrible," he told Vince. "I feel like a crumb. Debating the assassination is horrible."
Vince told him that all he wanted was for the case to break. "We need to become more American," he said. "We need to stop trying to act like a police state and go back to some of our original virtues, like skepticism of government and power. I can't live in a police state—not Russian, Cuban or American."
"It's not a question of whether you want to live in a police state," Cohen said. "You'll have to be killed."
This idea didn't sound, to Vince, like an intellectual exercise. It sounded like Cohen was telling him something.
But in a curious way, it was a warning that reassured him. "If the government wants to kill you," Vince says now, "they don't tell you about it. You're dead."
Vince also says Cohen, who now teaches at Brandeis and didn't respond to requests for comment, told him something else—that Arlen Specter had said to him, "What am I going to do about Vince Salandria?"
ON JANUARY 4, 2012, Vince Salandria and Arlen Specter met at the Oyster House for lunch. It was scheduled for noon, but Specter got there first and was seated; Vince came in and waited in front. Finally, after 40 minutes or so, Arlen Specter came out and found him.
They sat down. There was no one sitting near them. Specter was smiling and pleasant.
He had contacted Vince out of a random connection through mutual friends. Specter got Vince's number and made the call, asking him if he'd have lunch.
But it was Vince who started talking, and kept talking. Specter listened.
Vince told Specter that he wanted him to know that if he had been assigned to work for the Warren Commission, as Arlen had been, and understood what he did now, that he, too, would have taken the assignment. He thought that Specter had a job to do as a lawyer.
Specter didn't respond.
Vince said that not to do the work of the Warren Commission would have invited domestic disorder, and perhaps a dictatorship. The generals would have killed Vince, he told Specter, as quickly as Stalin would have. Specter probably saved his life.
Specter was quiet. His demeanor remained pleasant.
Vince explained what he hadn't realized back in 1964: that the American people weren't prepared to accept that military intelligence had assassinated the President in a coup. Vince added that his wife, a bright and rational woman, didn't support his obsession with the assassination.
Specter listened.
Vince told Specter his rationale for the assassination—he had read correspondence between Kennedy and Khrushchev and concluded they were very fond of each other and were seeking to end the Cold War. The assassins wanted to continue the Cold War and to escalate the war in Vietnam. Vince told Specter he believed Kennedy was killed by the CIA with the approval of the military.
Specter took this in without comment.
Vince told him that he understood it was a conspiracy when Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald, and that no guilty government would tell us the truth about an institutional killing of the President.
Vince went on in this vein a bit longer, explaining more of his insights about the assassination. Specter asked him—the first time he had said anything in some time—whether Vince spoke frequently to Mark Lane. Vince said no, he didn't.
Then Specter asked Vince what he remembered about their 1964 confrontation at the bar association event in Specter's honor. Vince told him he had attended with his copy of the Warren Report. Specter
wondered how long the report had been available—he thought it had been out only one week. Vince thought it was a couple of weeks. Specter seemed impressed with
how quickly Vince had digested the report.
Then Specter said: "You charged me then, at that meeting, with fraud."
That was true. As Vince laid out his case in his first article, the Warren Commission's work was speculation conforming to none of the evidence, without the slightest credibility, with errors in logic and contrary to the laws of physics and geometry. He was charging Specter with corruption. Of perpetrating a fraud.
And now, at lunch, Arlen Specter had a request. "Instead of calling me corrupt," he said, "can you change it to incompetent?"
Almost a half-century had passed since the Warren Commission's work had been made public; almost a half-century since the event at City Hall at which Vince Salandria stood up and asked his pointed questions. During that time, Arlen Specter was forever being asked about the Warren Report and the Magic Bullet. He was laughed at over his theory. Oliver Stone made a movie in which Specter was mocked, and the running joke in the Specter household was that his epitaph would lead with the Magic Bullet.
He had lived with the assassination, and his role in solving it, forever. And he hadn't stopped living with it, upholding his responsibility to explain. Arlen Specter, those close to him say, believed in that responsibility. He told friends he was looking forward to 2013, the 50th anniversary of the assassination, because it was an opportunity to speak about solving the murder of the President yet again, to engage the issue once more. Specter, they say, hadn't backed off one inch.
Vince Salandria, too, had lived with the assassination for a long time, and he, too, had paid a steep price. He says now that teaching is far and away his most important life's work, his true calling, yet he taught at Bartram High for only eight years before his conspiracy theories made him an outlier among his fellow teachers. He'd end up spending three decades as a school-system lawyer. He did well. It was work he believed in. But it wasn't the same as teaching.
Long ago, Vince Salandria said: "No matter what comes of this work"—the assassination research he and fellow obsessives kept plugging away at—"we have involved ourselves in the worthiest cause of our lives."
He says he still believes that. "Until we really come to grips with the true meaning of the assassination—i.e., the coup, by military intelligence services of the country—civil liberties are necessarily restricted," he says. "Every president since Kennedy knows what happened to him and why. Therefore, every president knows he's circumscribed in terms of what he can do and who he can oppose and how much he opposes them."
When Arlen Specter asked Vince Salandria to change his opinion of him from corrupt to incompetent, Vince told him that he couldn't change it. He told Arlen Specter he knew from the public record that the Senator was quite competent then—in 1964—and that he was, at all times, competent. He had never considered Specter incompetent. And he wasn't incompetent now.
Specter had no reaction to that, just as he hadn't reacted to anything else Vince said.
Perhaps Specter, in asking Salandria to change his opinion, was admitting that the Warren Commission got it wrong, that the Magic Bullet and a lone gunman really don't wash. Or perhaps it was simpler than that, a moment between two men who had lived with the same profound event for so long, who played such important and different roles in our understanding of what happened and, well … did Vince's opinion have to be so harsh? Perhaps, in other words, it was merely a personal moment. Whatever he was up to, Arlen Specter certainly opened the door a crack to yet another debate about what he really believed.
He would ask Vince another question: Do you think the Warren Commission was a setup? That is, did Vince think Earl Warren was told that Lee Harvey Oswald had to be their man before there was any investigation at all?
Yes, Vince said.
Arlen Specter had no reaction to that, either, and remained pleasant to the end, even though, Vince is sure, he'd arranged lunch in order to hear one thing: that Vince could come to a new opinion about Specter's work for the Warren Commission. Whatever personal redemption Specter may have been seeking, he left without it.
Though he didn't leave empty-handed. On the way out of the Oyster House, Vince handed Specter a copy of James Douglass's book JFK and the Unspeakable, published in 2008. The book is dedicated to Vince and another conspiracy theorist. Vince told Specter it was the best work ever written on the assassination.
Dave Ratcliffe • 9 hours ago
In email Vince sent this morning, he observed, "that for a conventional magazine, his [Bob Huber's] piece is unique. I congratulate him for doing a remarkable job. My sole criticism is on his underplaying the role of my hero, Gaeton Fonzi, and not mentioning the courage of his employer, Herbert Lipson, who has long demonstrated his undying passion for historical truth and the true role of a free press."
It is unfortunate that the author adopts the pseudo-debate meme "conspiracy theorist," applying it more than once to Vince as well at the close, indirectly, to Marty Schotz, the second person Jim Douglas dedicates JFK and the Unspeakable to. In Schotz's 1996 book, "History Will Not Absolve Us," Marty writes in the section titled, "Letter to Vincent J. Salandria, April 5, 1995":
"All of this brings us to the real cover-up over all these years, which was not `Oswald' per se but rather `the debate over Oswald.' In this process we see the CIA following the principles of intelligence agency assassination and cover-up as outlined by Isaac Don Levine, an associate of Allen Dulles, in his analysis of the assassination of Leon Trotsky by the Soviet Union's NKVD. As Levine revealed, the classic manner by which an intelligence agency attempts to cover itself is by the use of confusion and mystery. The public is allowed to think anything it wants, but is not allowed to know, because the case is shrouded in supposed uncertainty and confusion. This was and is the big lie, that virtually no one is sure who really killed President Kennedy or why." (pp.11-12)
"Because the work of Salandria, [Raymond] Marcus, and several others provided proof of a conspiracy that was simple and obvious, the media had to distort the work of these critics in order to rescue the government's good name. In this effort the media resorted to Orwellian use of the term `conspiracy theorists' in referring to all Warren Commission critics, including Salandria and Marcus. While there may be many conspiracy theorists among the critics of the Warren Report, Salandria and Marcus were not among them. Rather they were conspiracy provers. But by this use of language the media were able to take proof of conspiracy and turned it into theory of a conspiracy. With proof turned into theory, knowledge was turned into belief and the government was able to retreat to the position that perhaps the Warren Commission was mistaken, but of course no one would be `so extreme' as to claim that Earl Warren and the other Commission members were anything but honorable men. Thus was launched the thirty-plus year debate over the Warren Report.
"Since the Warren Report was an obvious fraud, so was the pseudo-debate over whether there was or wasn't a conspiracy, a debate over a question which had long ago been answered definitively. This thirty-year pseudo-debate over the validity of the Warren Report has occupied the efforts and attention of many honest citizens who were taken in by it. Unwittingly many honest citizens, tricked into participation, became part of the cover-up, because the debate gave legitimacy to the notion that there was doubt and uncertainty when there really was none. While Salandria's and Marcus' proofs of conspiracy are detailed and conclusive, it turns out that there is a much simpler and more elegant proof of conspiracy which involves the bullet holes in the back of the President's shirt and jacket. See Appendix III." (Footnote, p.11)
Schotz' entire book is available online at ratical.org/ratville/JFK/HWNAU, as well as words and works of Jim Douglass at ratical.org/ratville/JFK/Unspe…, and an annotated hypertext version of Vince's 1998 exposition, "The JFK Assassination: A False Mystery Concealing State Crimes" (see the top of ratical.org/ratville/JFK).
Marty Schotz dedicated "History Will Not Absolve Us," "To our children, all our children, the children of the world, who someday will want to know." A primary voice in the effort to make it possible for the children of the world to know is Vincent Salandria. The combination of his common sense, humility, and practice of critical thinking inform his contribution to making an accurate diagnosis of this crisis.
In his own "Notes on Lunch with Arlen Specter on January 4, 2012" (Ibid) Vince expresses his opinion that his life was saved by the effectiveness of Mr. Specter's work and the ineffectiveness of his own. In my view, Mr. Salandria's devotion to honoring and serving Life's needs was and is highly effective. His persistant tenacity caused him to speak and write as a witness to the truth of why President Kennedy was murdered by elements of the federal government that were determined not to allow JFK to pursue a rapprochement with the Soviet Union nor a normalizing of relations with Cuba; in other words, to lessen tensions that could have lead to a cessation of the Cold War. He stands as a shining light representing what a single human being can do to promulgate historical truth. As Vince writes in his own "Notes":
"I know that my efforts to convince people to oppose Kennedy's assassins were feckless. But was the effort of a small community of people to establish the historical truth of the Kennedy assassination valueless? I think not. I feel that historical truth is the polestar which guides humankind when we grope for an accurate diagnosis of a crisis. Without historical truth, an accurate diagnosis of the nature and cause of crisis, we would have no direction on how to move to solve societal disease."

Q: "Access violation reading location 0x0000000a." in C++ Im trying to call some nio functions from a DLL but keep getting the Access violation reading location error. This is the code that I have.

I get the error at this line

I'm still new to c++ and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Sushmita Dev's exit says it all – Rahul Gandhi's 'young Congress team' isn't happening
With high-profile exits, Rahul Gandhi's young Congress is collapsing even before it could be built. In this under-renovation party, crucial pillars are missing.
Ruhi Tewari
File photo of Sushmita Dev | Twitter/@sushmitadevinc
Former Lok Sabha MP Sushmita Dev's exit from the Congress hardly comes as a surprise. The latest entrant in the Congress' growing list of young leaders jumping ship is further evidence of what is fast becoming an accepted reality — India's grand old party is imploding, falling apart like a pack of cards in a wild storm.
After the departure of Priyanka Chaturvedi, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Pradyot Manikya Debbarma, Jitin Prasada, it was Sushmita Dev who left the party. She has joined the Trinamool Congress without making any "ideological compromises". Then there's the perennially unhappy Sachin Pilot, an unsure Deepender Hooda, and an inscrutable Milind Deora — all strengthening beliefs about a massive crisis in the Congress, their seeming disaffection a sign of the deep rut.
These are bright, articulate politicians who were seen as part of a new team that Rahul Gandhi was building. But their disillusionment tells a different story about the Congress' future – about the idea of a young Congress collapsing.
Sure, patience and loyalty are important virtues in politics. But there is something to be said about the inability of the current Congress leadership to satisfy the ambitions and aspirations of its young go-getters, most of whom seem tired of being out-of-power, twiddling their thumbs while they wait for Rahul Gandhi to take charge of the ship once again.

The primary concern
There are many speculations about what prompted Sushmita Dev, a prominent and fiery Congress voice from Assam whose father Santosh Mohan Dev was also a popular leader from the state, to leave the party her family has been loyal to.
Like many others, Dev probably grew impatient waiting in the wings, with her party performing disastrously in the state and national election one after another. She lost her own constituency and family turf in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, largely because of the difficult position she was in with the Congress' stand on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and with her area in Barak Valley being largely Bengali-dominated. Dev was also unhappy about not getting a say in candidate selection from her region in the assembly election earlier this year. Moreover, her term as the Mahila Congress president was also coming to an end.
'What next for me' is perhaps the question Dev found herself asking. Just like many others who left the Congress.
This concern doesn't really apply to the famed 'G23', a rebellion group of sorts in the Congress comprising senior leaders whose time in active politics is nearly over. They can serve more in an advisory role and aren't likely to jump ship to another party given their loyalties to the Congress.
But the young turks — most of whom are from 'Congress families' — leaving the party signals a bigger crisis. This generation is the present and the future of the party. And with prominent faces from this batch gone, the already uncertain future of the Congress looks even more grim.

The disillusionment
At the heart of this abandonment and disillusionment is a deep-seated concern about their political future, considering the Congress' bleaker fortunes and the fact that many leaders feel they are getting a raw deal.
Yes, politicians like Scindia, Dev, Prasada and others have had it easy in terms of climbing up the political ladder and gaining prominence in the party owing to the political legacies they got in gift.
But politics is as much about winning elections and being in power, as it is about serving people. Why would any of these leaders want to be in politics if all they get to do is remain in the Opposition and also not wield any real power within their parties?
None of these 'deserters' are liabilities. They are all articulate and electorally savvy politicians who are influencers and important faces of a party in crisis.
The bigger problem for the Congress is not that it is currently out of power, but that it seems to slip deeper and deeper into an abyss, with no sign of recovery on the anvil. A fact obviously not lost on the party's young, fiery and ambitious leaders.
And yet again, what Dev's exodus points to is the complete inability of the party leadership to keep its house in order and to retain talent. The Gandhis' self-obsession that makes them see people quitting the party as a vindication of their perception about them lacking ethics prohibits them from looking within and reflecting on what is going wrong.
With these high-profile exits, Rahul Gandhi's Congress is collapsing even before it could be built. In this under-renovation Congress, some crucial pillars are now missing. And what remains is the old-guard, which doesn't exhibit any capacity or strategy to stand up to the politics of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.
In July 2018, Rahul Gandhi held a special interaction with women journalists at Delhi's India Habitat Centre. Coordinating and leading the interaction, as important gen-next faces of the party were three women members of the Congress — Priyanka Chaturvedi, Sushmita Dev and Divya Spandana. The fact that three years down the line, none of them are with the party says a lot.
And yet, the Congress top command goes on as if it doesn't quite care and that all that really matters is that everyone in the party continues to pledge loyalty to The Family. Kapil Sibal says the party has its "eyes wide shut". Unfortunately, it is worse — the Congress is in the dangerous and slippery "sochna kya jo bhi hoga dekha jayega" (why think, we'll see what happens) mode.

Why news media is in crisis & How you can fix it
India needs free, fair, non-hyphenated and questioning journalism even more as it faces multiple crises.
But the news media is in a crisis of its own. There have been brutal layoffs and pay-cuts. The best of journalism is shrinking, yielding to crude prime-time spectacle.
ThePrint has the finest young reporters, columnists and editors working for it. Sustaining journalism of this quality needs smart and thinking people like you to pay for it. Whether you live in India or overseas, you can do it here.

Tenet Healthcare to Pay Record Whistleblower Settlement
From Staff and Wire Service Reports
Tenet Healthcare Corp., the nation's second-largest hospital operator, will pay $900 million to settle allegations it overbilled Medicare, company and Department of Justice officials said yesterday
The settlement — valued at about one-fourth of Tenet's stock-market value — will be paid over four years and ends all federal investigations by the Department of Justice and six U.S. attorneys, including Debra W. Yang of the Central District of California, the parties said.
"The Medicare program currently faces great challenges, and can ill afford attempts by hospitals to manipulate and cheat the system," Yang declared in a statement. "This settlement demonstrates our strong commitment to recovering taxpayer funds from health care companies that break the rules in pursuit of higher profits."Official said it was the largest amount paid by a single defendant in the 150-year history of the False Claims Act. Up to 25 percent of the settlement will be paid to whistleblowers who brought private actions—known as qui tam suits—based on inside information.
The deal means that there will be no finding that Tenet broke the law, but President and Chief Executive Trevor Fetter said the Dallas-based company "made mistakes" before 2003, when the company came under investigation.
Tenet will pay $725 million plus interest to settle allegations that it overbilled Medicare for the most costly cases, made illegal kickbacks to doctors to refer Medicare patients to its hospitals, and used improper billing codes to bilk the health care program.
The "upcoding" allegations were raised in three suits filed by Yang in 2003. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Gary Plessman, chief of the Civil Fraud Section, and Cathy J. Ostiller worked on the cases.
Department of Health and Human Services investigators, based in Santa Ana, Kansas City, and Omaha were involved in the probe, as was the FBI.
Tenet said it would pay $450 million plus $20 million interest immediately and pay off the balance by mid-2010. The company also agreed not to seek an additional $175 million that it argued it was owed by Medicare.
Some analysts had expected Tenet to pay even more — estimates ran as high as $1.5 billion. Government attorneys said the final amount was based on the company's ability to pay.
"Today's settlement reflects our continued resolve to hold responsible those who engage in health care fraud in any form," Assistant Attorney General Peter D. Keisler, head of the Justice Department's Civil Division, said.
The agreement follows a $21 million settlement last month in which Tenet also agreed to sell a San Diego hospital as part of a charges that it made illegal kickbacks to doctors. Fetter, who became CEO in 2003, said "some of this company's past actions did not measure up to the high standards that we have imposed on ourselves."
Tenet officials had hoped that with a settlement of the Medicare suit, the company would put behind it a series of investigations and lawsuits that have alienated doctors and sent Tenet's stock price plunging. They even raised their outlook for 2006 operating profits by $25 million, to between a pretax loss of $75 million to a pretax gain of $25 million.
But investors responded tepidly to the deal. Tenet shares fell 13 cents, or 1.8 percent, to close at $7.10 on the New York Stock Exchange. They have crashed from more than $50 in late 2002 to a range of $6.77 to $13.06 in the past year.
The settlement did not end a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into the company's disclosure of Medicare and managed-care payments.

Automation is not eating jobs, states Gartner
By James Walker Oct 3, 2017 in Technology
AI will have created more jobs than it's destroyed within the next three years, according to leading research firm Gartner. The company has found that AI will push 1.8 million people out of work by 2020 but end up creating over 2.3 million new roles.
The discovery contradicts many previous assumptions about AI's impact on employment. TechRepublic reports Gartner revealed the findings during the company's Gartner Symposium conference this week. It said that AI will drive a net jobs increase of 500,000 positions before the end of the decade.
Gartner didn't explain its methodology or elaborate on how it determined its figures. However, the company's claims do align with other recent reports on the effect of AI on the jobs market. The technology isn't yet eradicating human work, even though a net fall in jobs seems to be the logical consequence of an efficiency drive.
The critical word when considering AI's impact on workplaces is "augmenting." The vision being pitched by tech firms and AI innovators currently sees AI work alongside humans. The machines handle the mundane day-to-day tasks while allowing humans to continue leading the real productive work. AI extends human capabilities, increasing productivity in a manner that enables business growth and higher employment.

Gartner's study suggests this vision is being implemented. In some cases, people currently employed in administrative roles are losing their positions to AI. Automation isn't taking over though. Instead, it's bringing new opportunities to workplaces by streamlining inefficient processes. This allows new employees to be hired to companies, often to more fulfilling positions.
Previous reports have revealed other ways in which AI can create jobs. Last month, the Progressive Policy Institute explained how automation is opening new roles by changing the way in which people spend their time.
Tasks which were formerly "unpaid household hours," like taking a product home from a store, are now completed by salaried members of the economy. Your decision to purchase a new item from Amazon could harm local retailers but on a national level it opens new roles in the forms of warehouse pickers, packers and drivers.
During the conference, Gartner stressed the importance of people to digital disruption and automation. Gartner research chief Peter Sondergaard said the "secret to digital is analogue," before explaining "it's people." The company sees AI as a way to "scale" human talent, not as an invasive alternative. Individuals might lose their current roles but globally more employment options will be available.

A team from Warwick and Liverpool Universities (lead by Matt Keeling and Jon Read) have recently received funding from the Medical Research Council (MRC) to investigate the patterns of social contacts in the UK. Knowing how many other people we meet is an important step in understanding how many people we can spread infection to, our risk of catching infection, and the effectiveness of many control strategies.
Our aim is to better predict the spread of pandemic influenza (our work in this area), and therefore be able to provide health-care agencies with a better understanding of the types of control that are needed.
Using postal surveys and web-based questionnaires, we hope to record the contact patterns during a single day of around 100,000 people in the UK (approximately 0.16% of the population). Please see www.contactsurvey.org. This will provide us with a huge amount of data that will generate a highly informative picture of the patterns and variability in human social contacts, with applications in understanding and controlling many different diseases.
This research brings together two complementary scientific fields: networks and infectious disease epidemiology.
An example of a social network, made amongst staff and students at the University of Warwick. With permission Read, Eames, Edmunds (2008) Proc. Roy. Soc. Interface.
Human contacts can be thought of as a network (see figure) with people as points in the network and contacts drawn as lines. This way of thinking about human contact patterns is leading to a variety of interesting conclusions, and the study of networks is now a science in itself. In particular scientists are interested in understanding the number of connections, the clustering of contacts, and the ease with which information (or infectious diseases) can reach all parts of the network.
Key to understanding human contact networks is the availability of large amounts of high quality data. Previous studies in network theory have examined a variety of networks (such as email correspondence), but until recently very little research has been undertaken to measure the face-to-face social interaction been people. This study will use the data collected on individuals to generate multiple plausible interconnected networks, to assess how human contact networks compare to the range of theoretical predictions. Although we will be interested in measuring a range of basic properties for these human contact networks, our key priority will be to assess how easily infectious diseases spread through these networks.
In general, the study of infectious diseases is becoming an increasingly important area of applied research, with obvious implications for the control of a range of public-health and veterinary problems. Work in the groups at Warwick and Liverpool has focused on developing mathematical and computer models that are able to predict the likely spread of disease; we can then use these models to test a range of control strategies to see which work best. Recent work has looked at diseases as wide ranging as Bubonic Plague, Foot-and-Mouth disease, bovine TB, Avian Influenza and MRSA (see our Modelling webpage) and has provided information and support for a variety of government and international organisations.
The current worldwide epidemic of swine flu gives a particular impetus to this research - what kinds of contacts are people making that can lead to the transmission of disease, in which social context and for how long? Measures aimed at controlling spread through reduction in contact between individuals can be informed by the data that we are hoping to collect.
This research project will bring together the science of networks and epidemiology to create realistic models of the spread of infection (concentrating on pandemic influenza) between individuals. A variety of mathematical and computer tools will be used, but all rely on the same underlying principle - that these diseases spread through close contact between individuals. Therefore by measuring these contacts using our survey, we gain powerful information about the way such infections can spread and the ways in which such infections can be controlled.
Our research group has played a leading role in modelling the spread of diseases through networks of contacts in a variety of applied and theoretical settings - more details can be found on our web pages.

Rocket League was originally released back in 2015 and has since become a massive hit with its addictive sport gameplay which sees cars and soccer merged into one.
Rocket League really hit the mainstream when it was offered as one of the free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers. This allowed millions of people to try it for free and gave the game more publicity than the devs could have done on their own. This decision clearly paid off, but it wasn't one that was made easily.
In a documentary about Rocket League, the vice president of Psyonix, Jeremy Dunham, revealed why the studio opted to go with Sony and what a hard decision that was.
Psyonix opted to allow the game to be given away to millions of players via PlayStation Plus' free games, but this did mean the studio would be giving the game away for a month.
"It was a big worry because we didn't know if it was the right decision. We had a lot of fear that we would just make no money on the game. Obviously, developers can't go into details of the deal they have with Sony, but you fight for an amount that they pay you and hope that's enough if nothing else happens.
The decision to go with Sony paid off and Rocket League became a huge hit. It went on to become the most downloaded PlayStation Plus game of all time, gained over 21 million players, and earned over $110 million.
Psyonix has also regularly supported the game with free DLC as well as two larger paid DLC expansions. If you're a fan of Rocket League then you should defiantly check out the documentary.
