9/11 Watershed Moment
A few musings and ramblings on this watershed moment for millions of Americans.
A watershed moment is a point in time that changes everything; like the murder of President Kennedy, the crash of the Space Shuttle Challenger, the moment the towers fell. We all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we first saw the video of the attack on the World Trade Center. Since I customarily worked until two or three in the morning I was in bed when I got the phone call.
"Dad, are you watching TV?" my son asked.

Formal privacy on a subset of dataset variables
64th ISI World Statistics Congress - Ottawa, Canada
Format: CPS Paper
Keywords: differential privacy, privacy, pufferfish
Session: CPS 82 - Statistical methodology I
Thursday 20 July 8:30 a.m. - 9:40 a.m. (Canada/Eastern)
Differential privacy (DP) is a mathematical definition of privacy that has many attractive properties. This includes allowing data providers to quantify the privacy risk of a collection of data releases from a dataset. As DP is defined for mechanisms acting on the dataset, the privacy guarantee of DP is at the level of the entire dataset and does not require the determination of which variables are sensitive or identifying. While this provides privacy guarantees that do not depend on the often-subjective classification of variables, this also leads to needing all outputs from the dataset to be noisy, even those that only involve variables that are not considered sensitive or identifying.
In this paper, we introduce privacy definitions that only protect a subset of the variables in a dataset, thus allowing statistics only involving unprotected variables to be released accurately. We show that the definitions are a generalisation and relaxation of DP and can be defined using the Pufferfish framework for privacy definitions, as well as provide an algorithm for generating privacy-protected count tables that are consistent with the counts that can be released accurately under the proposed privacy definition. We explore the properties of the definition in terms of composition and show how the definitions can be used to assign an epsilon value to each subset of variables. This contrasts with DP, which only assigns an epsilon value to the entire dataset. The epsilon value for a single variable is at most that of the entire dataset and can be smaller, reflecting that different variables in a dataset may be protected to different degrees in a data release. This may be useful for data providers who wish to protect some variables, for example more sensitive ones, more than others.

The U.S. Treasury Department Thursday moved to prevent residents in high-tax states like New York from using a workaround to the $10,000 cap on state and local tax, or SALT, deductions. Republican New York Congressman John Faso had twice requested clarity on the issue.
Faso's second letter came in April, asking the department whether New York state legislation that would convert some SALT payments to payments that might be eligible for the charitable tax deduction under federal law would be permitted.
"Even though I don't like the limitation, it was important for taxpayers to know whether or not the proposed workaround by New York and some other states would work," Faso says. "And today the Treasury said no."
Faso says a letter from the Treasury came Thursday afternoon while he was touring two farms in Columbia County with the U.S. agriculture secretary. Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, meanwhile, threatened legal action over the IRS rules.

All Them Witches - Sleeping Through The War LP
New West Records
Produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Rival Sons) and mixed/engineered by UK-bred young-gun Eddie Spear, All Them Witches' "Sleeping Through The War" is the quartet's most bold and well-crafted record to date. The album's creation marks the f irst time in the band's history that a record was written before entering the studio. This process allowed for an alignment of the band's art, desire and time. Convening in Nashville for only six days after a year of relentlessly touring their New West Records debut "Dying Surfer Meets Their Maker," the band's spirit coalesced in a rhythm of statement and melody that simply needs to be heard...repeatedly.
With the guidance of Cobb and Spear, "Sleeping Through The War" captures the truest energy of the group, full blast, fun and contemplative. The record was made with volume in mind. "Sleeping Through The War" is meant to be played loud, cranked up and without reservation. Feel it live through your stereo system or listen to it speak in tongues through your headphones.
The sounds are nothing without the songs and the songs are nothing without the lyrics. This record is a result of constant touring, world travel, overstimulated/divided humanity, and a learning of awareness and compassion.

New and enhanced pre-bookable Discover Qatar Transit Tours now available for passengers with a transfer time at Hamad International Airport (HIA) of 5–12 hours
Qatar Airways and Discover Qatar lead the way in providing the best transit tour options globally for passengers transiting through HIA
DOHA, Qatar – Discover Qatar, the destination management subsidiary arm of Qatar Airways, has announced a new selection of pre-bookable city and desert tours for passengers transiting through Qatar, making it one of the world's leading inbound tourism providers for transit passengers.
The Discover Qatar Transit Tours allow all passengers with a transit time at Hamad International Airport (HIA) of five–12 hours to choose from a range of activities to help them experience Qatar during their stopover. This includes visiting key landmarks including The Pearl-Qatar for the finest quality shops and restaurants; Katara Cultural Village, a centre dedicated to celebrating arts and heritage; Souq Waqif, for traditional jewellery, spices and handicrafts; and the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), for its stunning collection of art, architecture and beautiful seaside park. In addition, passengers can book a unique desert experience and visit Sealine Beach and the sand dunes of Mesaieed either in the exclusive off-road monster bus or a luxury 4 X 4 vehicle during their stopover. Alongside city and desert tours, transit passengers can also book the 'Stop & Shop' tour which offers a chauffeur-driven car to the Mall of Qatar – home to luxury fashion brands and world-class restaurants.
The renowned city tours, initially launched in 2015, have been hugely popular with passengers transiting through HIA. In a move to provide more options, Discover Qatar has revamped and enhanced its transit tours, offering a wide variety of new exciting excursions. They now include the popular Doha City Tour, in addition to a 'Monster Bus Desert Experience,' Private Desert Safari, Stop & Shop and chauffeur services for passengers who wish to explore Qatar at their own pace.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: "As the National Carrier of the State of Qatar, we are very proud to be playing our part in the growth of Qatar's tourism industry, in partnership with Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA). With our new and enhanced pre-bookable Discover Qatar Transit Tours, Qatar now offers one of the finest transit packages globally to suit every traveller's taste.
"The city and desert tours will allow our passengers to enjoy every step of their journey with us, and we hope to see more of our passengers booking and taking part in these tours, to experience Qatar's renowned hospitality, culture and heritage, and the vibrant city of Doha, before connecting to one of more than 150 destinations that we serve on our expanding global network."
Qatar Airways passengers who wish to take the advantage of the Discover Qatar Transit Tours can pre-book on Discover Qatar's website: http://discoverqatar.qatarairways.com/transit-tours or visit the Discover Qatar Transit Tours desk at Hamad International Airport with their valid passports and boarding passes for their onward travel.
Hassan Al Ibrahim, Acting Chairman of QTA, said: "Our partnership with Qatar Airways to introduce these transit tours, as well as the 96-hour free transit visa which was brought into effect last year, all come as part of our efforts to diversify and grow Qatar's visitor source markets. New developments such as these are guided by the next chapter of the Qatar National Tourism Sector Strategy 2017-2023, which is focused on enhancing the end-to-end experience for travellers who are either en route to another country or have chosen Qatar as their destination."
"Visitors who are able to venture out of the airport and enjoy short excursions during their stopover are more likely to make longer visits in the future. Through facilitating transit passengers' ability to explore and experience our country's unique and authentic tourism offerings, we are able to spread our message of welcoming the world."
Discover Qatar encourages all passengers to consider adding Qatar to their itinerary. In addition to the Discover Qatar Transit Tours, Discover Qatar offers a range of other services for passengers by bringing together the best stopover packages, hotels and ground arrangements. Visitors can select from an array of four- and five-star hotels, airport transfers, desert safari and city tours on Discover Qatar's website.
Passengers who wish to turn a layover into a stay-over can take advantage of recently launched +Qatar programme, which allows them to discover the culture and attractions of Qatar with a complimentary hotel stay or two-night stay offers at one of Qatar's many international hotels. Travellers who wish to take this opportunity to visit Doha during their journey can use the multi-city booking option to include the stop in Doha when booking their flights on qatarairways.com or contact their nearest Qatar Airways office or travel agent.
In August 2017, Qatar's Ministry of Interior (MoI), QTA and Qatar Airways announced that nationals from more than 80 countries can take advantage of visa-free entry into Qatar, thanks to Qatar's new visa waiver upon arrival. Depending on the nationality of the visitor, the waiver will either be valid for 180 days from the date of issue, and allow the visitor to spend a total of 90 days in Qatar (multiple-entry waiver); or it will be valid for 30 days from the date of issue and entitle the visitor to spend up to 30 days in Qatar with the possibility of applying for an extension of the waiver for an additional 30 days (multiple-entry waiver).
Qatar Airways, one of the fastest growing airlines in the history of aviation, will continue to expand its global network in 2018 by adding flights to Canberra, Australia; Thessaloniki, Greece and Cardiff, UK, in the coming months.

Malta Maltex
330 mL bottle 2.68 g sugar / oz. |
Review Wow, now this is a malt beverage! Its very rich, almost chocolatey, with a luxurious foamy head if you pour it too fast. It doesn't seem quite as sweetened as the Latin American maltas, though it is still sugary. This tastes as much like rye as it does toasted barley, like a slice of pumpernickel in a glass. My only complaint is an off-putting vegetabley smell (like celery?) as I bring the glass up to drink. That is unexpected and sort of distracting.
Ingredients Water, malt, sugar, colour (E150c), hops. Made by Danish Interbrew Ltd. |

The Pixie-16 is a data acquisition system for nuclear physics and other applications requiring coincident radiation detection with large number of channels. Based on the CompactPCI/PXI standard, the Pixie-16 boasts the following features:
- Digital spectrometry and waveform analysis for 16 input signals per module
- Coincident data acquisition across channels and modules
- Up to 500 MSPS sampling rate
- PXI data transfer rates up to 109 MB/sec
The Pixie-16 provides digital spectrometry and waveform acquisition for 16 input signals per module; several modules can be combined into a larger system. The Pixie-16 is based on the CompactPCI/PXI standard which allows data transfer rates from Pixie-16 memory to the host computer of up to 109MByte/s. Commercial PXI/CompactPCI modules – DSP processor boards, HV supplies, embedded host computers – can be added to build a flexible standalone data acquisition and analysis system.
Each channel of the Pixie-16 accepts signals from virtually any radiation detector that has an exponential decay output. Incoming signals are digitized with 14 or 16-bit, 100 or 250 or 500 MSPS ADCs. Digitally controlled offsets can be individually adjusted for each channel. While the voltage gain is fixed to a factory set value, there are two software selectable attenuation factors as well as jumper selectable 50 Ω input termination. Triggering, pile-up inspection and filtering of the data stream is performed in real time; pulse heights and other event data is calculated on an event-by event basis. Results are stored in 512K of spectrum memory and 128K of list mode FIFO memory.
The Pixie-16 module(s) can be controlled either by an in-crate CompactPCI/PXI embedded computer or through a CompactPCI/PXI bridge by a desktop computer. The Pixie-16 is operated through a simple graphical user interface running on Windows. A C driver library, compatible with Linux, is provided for users who plan to integrate Pixie-16 modules into a custom data acquisition system.
The Pixie-16 is operated in a custom made 6U CompactPCI/PXI chassis with high current power supplies. The lower half of the chassis backplane provides a PCI data interface compatible with the 3U CompactPCI/PXI standard. The upper half of the backplane provides high current power connections and more than 150 lines for clock, trigger and data distribution between modules.
It can be used in a variety of applications including:
- Segmented HPGe detectors
- Silicon Strip detectors
- Scintillation detector arrays
- Synchronous waveform capture for gamma-ray tracking
- Sub-nanosecond timing measurements
- Fast coincidence gamma-ray spectroscopy

A Patent is the legal title granted to protect an invention. An invention concerns a new
technical solution to solve a problem (Article 2(3) Proclamation) in industry or
agriculture or new technical means to alleviate the living conditions of human
A patent is granted if the invention is New, Involves an Inventive Step and is capable of being Applied in Industry (Article 3 Proclamation).
A Patent confers to its owner the right to exclude others from using and selling his/her invention in the country without the consent of the owner(s)) for the duration of initial 15 years from the date of filing in Ethiopia with a possibility of five years extension subject to use (Articles 16 and 22 Proclamation). However, the patent should be renewed every year by payment of a prescribed fee (Article 17 Proclamation).
The following shall not be patentable:
- Inventions contrary to public order or morality
- Plant or animal varieties or essentially biological processes for the production of plants or animals.
- Schemes, rules or methods for playing games or performing commercial and industrial activities and computer programmes.
- Discoveries scientific theories and mathematical methods.
- Methods for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy, as well as diagnostic methods practiced on the human or animal
According to Article 9(2) of the patent proclamation an application shall be made in writing and shall relate to one invention only. However, two or more inventions, belonging to a single general concept, may be filed as one application.
An application for a patent can only be filed in Amharic or English. Any documents that are filed in the language other than Amharic or English must be accompanied by translation into Amharic or English.
A foreign applicant is required to appoint Ethiopian Patent Agent to represent him in the proceeding of his application (Article 9(7) Proclamation).If an agent has been appointed, the application must indicate the name of the appointed Patent Agent and be accompanied by a power of attorney signed by each of the applicants (Article 9(8) Proclamation, Article 48 Regulation). The power of attorney must be filed within two months of the filing date of the application (Article 8 Regulation).
The applicant may claim the right of priority of the date of filing of an earlier application. The earlier application must be filed not more than 12 months before the filing date of the application in Ethiopia and the application claiming priority must be in respect of the same invention as the invention disclosed in the previous application. A copy of the earlier application must be filed, if necessary, with a translation (Article 11(2) Proclamation, Article 20 Regulation).
Yes! The office conducts both formality and substantive examination of the filed application. You can view the detailed explanations on how the Examination is performed by accessing the examination guideline by following the link below.
No! Because patentable subject matter must be Novel, using your invention, publishing details of it, displaying in Exhibition or offering it for sale will destroy the 'Novelty 'of the invention and prevent you from obtaining a valid Patent.
Yes. The EIPO awards patents on a "first-to-file" basis. This means that if two inventors independently invent the same thing, and both apply for patents at different times, the EIPO will award the patent to the inventor who first files a patent application, regardless of who invented first.
Yes, if the invention was derived as a result of his/her employment in the course of his/her duties as an employee, then it is likely that the company owns that invention, and can validly apply for a patent on that invention. However, you still need to name the inventor(s) on your patent application. The same applies to commissioned work. The inventor(s) will also need to be named in your patent application for it to be valid.
No. Patents are granted by patent offices in exchange for a full disclosure of the invention. In general, the details of the invention are then published and made available to the public at large.
While it is certainly true that not all enterprises develop patentable inventions, it is a wrong to believe that patents only apply to complex physical or chemical processes and products or that they are only useful to large corporations. Patents can be obtained for any area of technology from paper clips to computers.
See fee schedule at the end of Regulation 12/1997 or visit the fees and payment section of our Website.
If you don't patent your invention, competitors may well take advantage of it. If the product is successful, many other competitor firms will be tempted to make the same product by using your invention without needing to ask for your permission. Larger enterprises may take advantage of economies of scale to produce the product more cheaply and compete at a more favourable market price. This may considerably reduce your company's market share for that product. Even small competing enterprises may be able to produce the same product, and often sell it at a lower price as they would not have to recoup the original research and development costs incurred by your company.
Not necessarily. A patent is the right to stop others from making, using or selling your invention. It does not necessarily mean you have the right to make, use or sell it yourself.
Someone else may have a patent which will stop you from making, using, or selling your invention (called a "dominating patent") or your Patented invention might require approval from a regulating agency to make, use or offer for sell.
An application for a patent is both a legal and technical document which includes a recitation of the background of the invention, a brief summary of the invention, a brief description of the invention, a detailed description of the preferred embodiment, a set of claims, and an abstract. The application must describe the invention in such complete detail that it enables a person having ordinary skill in the art to both make and use the invention. It must also set forth the "best mode" of the invention. Some people believe that patents are dull, tedious reading – documents filled with legalese and excruciatingly detailed technical descriptions of inventions.
After the complete application is filed, it will be necessary for the applicant to request examination before the patent office starts the exam procedure by paying the search and examination fee. The examiner will then perform an investigation into novelty, inventive step, has utility and make sure the claims do not relate to excluded subject matter. This usually involves a search of the 'prior art' (i.e. what was known or used before the filing date or priority date) to assist in determining the novelty of the subject matter and whether it embodies an inventive step. The examiner may also check to ensure that procedural aspects of the legislation have been complied with, such as checking that the necessary forms and fees have been completed and paid. Examiners normally issue a report on their findings. Where objections have been raised, applicants will be given an opportunity to respond and/or amend their application. A number of reports may issue before the patent is finally accepted or rejected.
The drawings should allow clear illustration of how the features of the invention interact and highlight the essence of the invention. Photographs are not accepted as a replacement for drawings.
If you have made references to drawings in the application but file the drawings at a later date, the filing date will be deferred to the day of receipt of the drawings at the Office.
Patents expire because allowing them to last for too long places a constraint on others who want to improve upon existing technology. Current patent law allows inventors to recoup their investment and profit from their invention without slowing down innovation.
At present, you cannot obtain a universal "world patent" or "international patent". Patents are territorial rights. In general, an application for a patent must be filed, and the patent granted and enforced, in each country in which you seek patent protection for your invention, in accordance with the law of that country. Therefore, one way of obtaining patents in a number of countries is to file a national patent application with each relevant national patent office or use the option to file an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) or regional routes such as EPO (European Patent Office), ARIPO (African Regional Intellectual Property Organization) or OIAP (African Intellectual Property Organization)
As Ethiopia is NOT a member of any patent related international or regional treaties therefore one can only file by applying in each country.
Patented inventions have, in fact, pervaded every aspect of human life, from electric lighting and plastic to ballpoint pens and microprocessors. Patents provide incentives to and protection for individuals by offering them recognition for their creativity and the possibility of material reward for their inventions. At the same time, the obligatory publication of patents and patent applications facilitates the mutually-beneficial spread of new knowledge and accelerates innovation activities by, for example, avoiding the necessity to "re-invent the wheel".

A personal plug: I have a couple of new stories on the EatDrinkFilms site about an upcoming screening, with live orchestral accompaniment, of the classic silent film Pandora's Box (1929). Pandora's Box was made in Germany, but it starred a young American actress, Louise Brooks, whom the film historian David Thomson has called "one of the most mysterious and potent figures in the history of the cinema." Read my story about Pandora's Box and the sidebar about Club Foot Orchestra, the remarkable ensemble – now celebrating its 40th anniversary – that created the score for the film and will perform it, along with students from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, on May 6 at Oakland's Paramount Theater. The event is being presented by the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Hope to see some of you local cinephiles there!
Louise Brooks as Lulu with Gustav Diessel as an anachronistic Jack the Ripper. Her hairstyle had lasting influence.
I've been enjoying "Stiffed," a podcast – not to be confused with Mary Roach's book Stiff or Susan Faludi's book Stiffed, both of which I also recommend – about the rise and fall of Viva, an erotic magazine for women that briefly flourished in the 1970s. Founder/publisher Bob Guccione died in 2010, but host Jennifer Romolini managed to interview his son, Bob Jr., as well as many of the women who worked at Viva and tried their damnedest to inject feminism into the mix. Related: my March 2022 post about "Minx," which name-checks Viva and also rival Playgirl, for which I was a contributing writer..
Another podcast worth your attention: A Way with Words, hosted by Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette. The April 16 episode examined, among other topics, why Southern Californians insert "the" before freeway numbers ("take the 405 to the 5") and whether there's such a thing as a "neutral" accent.
"We are currently in the midst of a radical reinvention of English. Not perhaps since the 15th, 16th and early 17th centuries has the English language shifted faster, with the rapid introduction of loanwords (borrowed from other languages), neologisms, buzzwords, slang and a host of acronyms." (Steven Mintz for Inside Higher Ed)
All about Bay Area branding agency Lexicon and the man who founded and still heads it, David Placek. David gave me my first paying work as a name developer, and although I didn't work on his most famous projects – Swiffer, Pentium, BlackBerry – I'm still quite proud of having named Keebler's Elfin Loaves while in Lexicon's employ.

"Marijuana dispensary names sort of blur together. In the San Francisco Bay Area, there's a Cannabud Express, Cannabliss, Kanna, Cannabis Culture and Cannavine. It's like they're interconnected in the Cannaverse (a name of another dispensary)." (Steven Wolfe for the Washington Post; gift link. Hat tip: Mark Prus)
The names of cannabis strains, on the other hand, are all over the map. "[W]hat I learned from talking to folks up and down the weed chain—rock-star breeders and farmers, boutique retailers and publically [sic] traded cannabis corporations, a marketing exec who moved from Coca-Cola to cannabis—is not only who concocts these catchy names and how that concoction happens, but that legalization is quickly changing much about how naming will look in the future." (Bill Shapiro for Esquire.)
In case you didn't catch on from the previous two links, last week was 4/20, the high (sorry) holy day of stonerdom. I wrote about "420" in cannabis-related branding way back in 2014.

Parents outraged by entitled 'mom-tographer' who bans kids from play park for shoot

Parents outraged by entitled 'mom-tographer' who bans kids from play park for shoot
A fun trip to a local farm park turned into a chaotic encounter that left parents and children bewildered, says a poster on the Entitled People Subreddit recently.
What should have been a pleasant outing filled with animal encounters and playful laughter quickly escalated into a scene involving an entitled parent/photographer, a baby, and an attempted photo shoot that disrupted the play area and ultimately led to the park management's intervention.
The incident occurred at a farm park that boasts a variety of attractions for families to enjoy, including a play area complete with climbing frames, slides, and swings. The park was bustling, with around 30 children gleefully navigating the play equipment on this particular day. However, the tranquillity was soon shattered when the Entitled Mom With a Camera (MWAC) made her appearance.
Clutching an armful of fancy scarves, artificial flowers, and a professional-grade camera, the MWAC arrived on the scene with her baby, who was less than six months old. It became evident that she had a specific mission—to stage a photo shoot featuring her baby at the slide's base. As more kids tried to slide down, the MWAC's frustration grew obvious, and she approached a group of parents who were engaged in friendly conversation.
Without consideration for the ongoing playtime, the MWAC declared, "I need all your kids to stop playing for a bit so I can get these photos on the slide." The response from the parents was swift and united—this was a play area designed for children's enjoyment, not a professional photo shoot. The request was denied, which prompted the MWAC to storm away in a huff.
Undeterred by the refusal, the MWAC escalated her efforts. She began shouting at the children. Her frustration apparently reached a boiling point when she attempted to block the slide using one of her scarves. The situation spiralled further as she yelled, "Get your *** kids out of the way, this is MY photo shoot!"
In an attempt to diffuse the situation, the park manager was called to intervene, and the MWAC was escorted off the premises.
As the MWAC begrudgingly departed, her shouts and profanities reverberated through the park, creating a dramatic exit that both bemused and concerned the onlooking families. In an unexpected twist, the MWAC later claimed that she was a victim of discrimination and proceeded to file a lawsuit.
Comments on the Reddit post conclude that the woman was likely a small-time 'influencer', using her unfortunate baby as a prop.
It seems like an amusing little anecdote. However, for the rest of us photographers, incidents like these can create tension and potential problems when shooting in public places.
There is no reason why this woman should have been trying to do a baby shoot in a busy park on private property without permission. Additionally, a slide is not a safe environment for photographing a baby. The potential for injury is far too great.
Many photographers do family and portrait shoots in public parks and spaces, myself included, and I have never had a problem. You must remember that you are not more entitled to the space than anyone else using the environment.
If you want people to avoid walking in front of your camera for a few minutes, be polite and ask nicely. Not everyone will oblige, and that's ok. You definitely shouldn't get annoyed like this influencer did.
I recently managed to shoot a short music video on the busy bridges of central Paris during the peak tourist season. We had no problems, just a few interested passersby who stopped to enjoy the performance. We all need to be a little more considerate of each other and remember that we aren't the main character in everyone else's lives.
Do you think the woman was justified in doing a photo shoot in a busy park?

Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president and 'unequaled voice' for workers, dies at 72
Washington — Longtime AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka died from a reported heart attack Aug. 5. He was 72.
A third-generation coal miner who was elected the youngest president of the United Mine Workers of America early in his career, Trumka had served as AFL-CIO president since his election in 2009. He was elected secretary-treasurer of the nation's largest labor union in 1995.
"He was always there," President Joe Biden said of Trumka, whom he called a close friend. "He was an American worker, always fighting for working people, protecting their wages, their safety, their pensions and their ability to build a middle-class life."
AFL-CIO Communications Director Tim Schlittner touted Trumka's "unparalleled leadership as the voice of America's labor movement" while offering his sentiments in a press release.
"Today, the 56 unions and 12.5 million members of the AFL-CIO mourn the passing of our fearless leader and commit to honoring his legacy with action," Schlittner added.
UMWA President Cecil Roberts reflected on Trumka's determination and drive, saluting as inspirational his climb from 33-year-old UMWA president in 1982 to eventual head of the AFL-CIO.
"The global labor movement has lost a giant," Roberts, who nominated Trumka as AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer, said in a press release. "Richard Trumka was more than the leader of the American labor movement, he was an unequaled voice for the workers around the world."
Labor Secretary Marty Walsh, in a press release, called Trumka "a role model for me as a labor leader and a partner to me as a public servant," as well as a valued friend.
"From the commercial airways 30,000 feet in the air to the deepest mine shafts 10,000 feet below ground, there is no part of our world that was not touched by his grace and commitment to what he believed was right," Walsh continued.
Trumka, who earned a law degree from Villanova University in 1974, worked closely with government and Congress. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) grew emotional Aug. 5 while announcing Trumka's death to the Senate.
"The working people of America have lost a fierce warrior at a time when we needed him most," Schumer said. "He had in his veins, in every atom of his body, the heart, the thoughts, the needs of the working people of America. He was them."
Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), chair of the House Education and Labor Committee, offered his condolences in a press release.
"Up until his final days, Richard Trumka was rallying workers across the country, demonstrating the spirit and solidarity that defined his tenure as president of AFL-CIO," Scott said. "Every American worker – whether they are a union member, the child of a union member or have never experienced a union at all – has benefited from his leadership."
The AFL-CIO constitution stipulates that in the event of a president's death, the secretary-treasurer "shall perform the duties of the vacant office" and must within 10 days call a meeting of the Executive Council to elect a successor. Liz Shuler has served as secretary-treasurer since 2009, and is the first woman elected to the position.

Today we are going to review the most common bronchitis symptoms in adults. Bronchitis, a type of lower respiratory tract infection, is inflammation of the bronchi in the lungs caused by viral or bacterial infections. It may present signs and symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, coughing up phlegm or mucus, wheezing, and fever. Bronchitis can be either acute (lasting less than three weeks) or chronic (lasting more than three months).
Types and Causes of Bronchitis
Causes of bronchitis can be broken down into two main categories, infectious and non-infectious:
- Infectious Causes of Bronchitis are usually caused by viruses or bacteria and can range from the common cold to more severe illnesses such as influenza or pneumonia.
- Non-infectious Causes of Bronchitis include environmental factors such as air pollution, smoking, dust mites, allergies, and exposure to certain chemicals. Other contributing factors may be weakened immune systems or other underlying medical conditions.
There are also several different types of bronchitis:
- Acute bronchitis is the most common type, usually caused by a viral infection. Symptoms typically resolve within two weeks, although coughing may linger for several weeks.
- Chronic bronchitis is less common than acute bronchitis and typically lasts three months or longer. It can be caused by viral and bacterial infections or environmental factors such as air pollution or smoking. Chronic bronchitis often leads to permanent lung damage and can develop into other severe respiratory conditions.
- Bronchiectasis is an irreversible form of chronic bronchitis where the walls of the airways become thickened and damaged over time due to inflammation, frequent infections, or trauma from inhaling irritants or toxins.
- Asthmatic bronchitis is an inflammatory condition of the airways marked by coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. Asthma is usually driven by allergies or other environmental triggers such as smoke and dust mites.
- Bronchoalveolar Carcinoma (BAC) is a rare form of lung cancer that usually affects the bronchi and alveoli in the lungs. It may be caused by long-term exposure to certain chemicals, radiation therapy for another type of cancer, or smoking.
- Bronchitis from allergies is a common condition and can have many of the same symptoms as other types of bronchitis, such as coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Allergies are caused by an immune system's reaction to specific environmental allergens or irritants. Properly managing your allergies can help reduce your risk of developing bronchitis. Treatment strategies may include avoiding exposure to triggers, taking medications to reduce inflammation and swelling in the airways, or using immunotherapy (allergy shots). You must visit your doctor for diagnosis and treatment if you think you may have bronchitis from allergies.
Bronchitis Symptoms in Adults
One of the most common bronchitis symptoms in adults is a persistent cough that produces mucus or phlegm. Other symptoms may include:
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Fever
Sometimes, wheezing or a whistling sound may be heard when the person breathes in. Properly managing your condition with your doctor's help can reduce your risk of developing more serious respiratory infections or complications. If you experience these symptoms, you must visit your doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Treatment may include medication to reduce inflammation and swelling in the airways, antibiotics (for bacterial infections), inhalers or other drugs to open the airways, rest, and avoiding irritants such as smoke and dust mites.
Bronchitis vs Bronchiolitis
Bronchitis vs bronchiolitis are both respiratory diseases that affect the lungs, but they are not the same condition. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi (the central airways leading to the lungs), usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
On the other hand, bronchiolitis is an inflammation of the small airways (bronchioles) in the lungs, usually caused by a virus.
Both conditions can be severe if left untreated or unmanaged properly, so you must visit your doctor for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Proper management and care can help reduce your risk of developing more serious respiratory infections or complications.

From a design perspective there are exciting developments in technology right now that are promising products such as Google Glass that will deliver alerts and information about your internet life through a heads up display (HUD) imbedded in a pair of glasses. However for me the exciting future lies with what some are calling 'Smart textiles' or 'E-textiles' that can measure your heart rate, blood pressure, motion etc all within the construction of the textile, removing the need for a physical 'device'. This vision builds on products such as the Nike Pro TurboSpeed Suit which was used in the London Olympics to help athletes cut through the air more efficiently. Imagine the future where such a suit will also be able to record your speed, motion and bio-metrics to determine where you lost 2 tenths of second, or that your stride length was too short in the last 20m! Maybe your body will eventually be able to provide the energy to power systems such as a human dynamo. This future is not as far away as it seems and self-initiated groups such as the Quantified Self (QS) are pushing forward the boundaries in this area, researching and developing technologies that monitor your health / behaviour, the communication of the information and applications of use.

The other thought that occurs to me when discussing wearable technology, is how all these different systems that we wear will begin to communicate with each other and form their own place in a cloud-based system of interlinked services. In a projected future world your trainers will tell the energy drink in the fridge that you need more protein today after your run, before the drink bottle tells the fridge how many are left so the fridge can update your supermarket order and all while your data is shared with your doctor, who will remotely monitor your health. In this type of connected world products like Fitbit or other wearable technology will be evaluated initially on how the eco systems they sit within handle the immense amount of data they will create as they crave to operate effectively. But ultimately products that interact with us so intimately will be judged on how they communicate this data and engage with us in providing a useful experience – that will be the true test of a product and service's longevity. (This highlights an area that for me has not been fully resolved in current wearable offerings).
Finally if one considers where such a trend would lead then things start to get very science-fiction like. Comparatively it was not that long ago that a phone always had a cable, before we embraced carrying a phone with us everywhere. If wearable technology and Smart textiles continue to push the development of products as seamless systems, then surely the ultimate future will be all about sub-dermal implants to measure and interact with your body!

When you walk the talk on leadership management, you inspire others to do the same. In this episode, Vikas Khorana, president of Ntooitive Digital, talks about the experiences that led him to become a good leader, and how he's still learning to be better every day. We all need people who are invested in our success, and this episode will help us identify the right people to work with and become the right leader for them.
Leadership is an important part of success.
In the workplace, leaders are responsible for setting the tone and direction of an organization. They are tasked with motivating employees to achieve organizational goals, fostering a positive workplace culture, and making decisions that will benefit both the company and its employees, even if that means investing in people and helping them move forward in their careers beyond employment at your company.
So what exactly does it mean to be a leader? Well, it's not as simple as just being in charge. Effective leaders have character traits like communication skills, visionary thinking, emotional intelligence, decision-making abilities, and adaptability that help them perform their roles effectively.
As a leader, you are responsible for creating an environment that inspires your team to be their best professionally and personally. The way you lead can make or break your team's productivity and morale.
Here are three characteristics of an effective leader that walks the talk:
Communication skills. Your ability to communicate effectively is the cornerstone of any successful relationship, and it's just as important in the workplace. Good communication means being able to express yourself clearly and succinctly, whether through email or in person.
Visionary thinking. You need to be able to see where your team is going as well as where they're coming from. This allows you to set goals that are both achievable and beneficial for everyone involved—you'll never lose sight of what matters most because you're always working towards something bigger than yourselves!
Emotional intelligence. It may seem counterintuitive at first glance, but emotional intelligence is actually one of the most important traits a person can have when they're leading others—it's all about being able to identify feelings accurately (and then taking action based on those feelings). Knowing how others are feeling allows you to know what they need from you.
One of the most important ideas to remember is that in order to recruit and retain top talent that can help you hit your goals, you will need to invest in yourself as a leader and invest in your team.

As soon as the verdict on Salman Khan's Court Case was announced, many actors from the Film Industry took to their social media handles to extend their support towards the actor, comedian Kapil Sharma being one of them. A series of tweets from comedian turned actor Kapil Sharma's account were initially formulated and were deleted later on. As per the reports, his account was hacked whereas, some others claim that it was the Comedian himself who wrote the tweets and confirmed the same.
Kapil Sharma Posts Abusive Tweets
The famous television comedian Kapil Sharma who was off from television for a while recently returned with his new show, 'Family Time With Kapil Sharma'. Post his entry, Kapil Sharma ended up experiencing negative limelight all thanks to the abusive tweets which were recently formulated from his official Twitter account.
Kapil Sharma was seen going on a rampage which was followed by a series of tweets which contained abusive language for a media house for creating news which is negative as well as fake. The tweets were deleted. This was followed by another tweet from his account claiming his account to be hacked which too was deleted. Another tweet came into the picture from Kapil's account which claimed that the account was not hacked.
As it is said that a coin has two sides, this situation too has two possibilities. One is that in actual terms, the account of Comedian Kapil Sharma got hacked and the abusive tweets were formulated and the second being that he actually went for an abusive rampage on Twitter tweets from his account which were deleted later on.
Kapil Sharma's Stardom Downfall?
The beginning of Kapil Sharma's era was a remarkable one when people were bored of the typical saas-bahu dramas which were being portrayed on every television channel. 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' was a grand hit which used to air on ColorsTV which lead to a gradual clash in 2016. After this tiff, Kapil Sharma along with his team moved to Sony TV and a new show, 'The Kapil Sharma Show' was presented to the public which enjoyed the love of people in the beginning but the TRPs started to get affected when fights in between the team members became a common sight and Kapil Sharma started to lose his Midas Touch.
Kapil Sharma is known to have experienced emotional issues because of false and negative publicity. He has been subject to professional counselling as well as medication. Currently, Kapil is hosting his new show 'Family Time With Kapil Sharma'. We wish that none of his past comes into the picture again and he manages to remain the darling of television comedy.

Health and Wellness Minister Molwyn Joseph said he is deeply concerned about the recent increase in Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Antigua and Barbuda, in particular, Diabetes, Hypertension and chronic Kidney diseases.
Valarie Williams, NCD, coordinator in the ministry of health, made the disclosure during an OBSERVER AM interview on Monday. However, health officials have been unable to provide statistics to support the claim.
Minister Joseph said he is concerned that people are ignoring the various health messages being promoted by ministry officials.
"We need to get more people taking responsibility for their own health. The lack of exercise, the consumption of the wrong foods, especially sugary beverages, salts and fat, are the things that are shortening our lifespan," Joseph said.
According to the minister, technicians in the ministry have embarked on a very aggressive programme of trying to get information out to the public to encourage people to change their lifestyle.
During the interview on Monday, Williams also spoke about an increase in the obesity rate in the country and the setting up of a proposed policy to address the problem.
"One of the things that we are looking at right now is making sure that we have an obesity policy in place. We have already done some groundwork, in terms of the research that will be required," Williams said.

"On Tuesday, a day after experiencing a heart arrest while participating in a practice at the University, LeBron James' Son Bronny James , was hospitalized to the Southern California University hospital in stable condition. An unnamed family member confirmed the information.
The spokesperson stated that Bronny James, who is 18 years old, received medical treatment at USC's Galen Center on Monday morning after the cardiac arrest incident. He was taken to the hospital, where his condition stabilized after treatment in the intensive care unit.
The spokeswoman stated, "We ask for respect and privacy for the James family, and we will update the media when we have more information." "LeBron and (his wife) Savannah want to extend their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation publicly to the USC medical and athletic staff for their incredible work and dedication in ensuring the safety of their athletes."
USC's spokesperson, Jeremy Pepper, declined to comment on the specific details or provide additional information in response to the Associated Press' request for comment on privacy concerns. The Los Angeles County Fire Department was also contacted for a statement.
A USC representative outside the Galen Center stated that there would be no briefing or release of statements regarding James' health concerns.
LeBron James' Son Bronny James said in May that he would play basketball for the Trojans in college. His father owns the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Trojans' campus is only a short distance away. The basketball team at USC is presently getting ready for a two-week trip to Europe in the coming month.

While his father, LeBron James, is a basketball legend and a four-time champion in the NBA, Bronny James has shown exceptional talent himself, establishing himself as a prominent point guard in the country before choosing to join USC at the end of the recruiting cycle.
Prayers for Bronny and the James family (prayer emoji)," tweeted Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered a heart arrest during an NFL game last season. You, people, have been equally encouraging to me throughout my endeavor.
Sports figures from all across the world also sent encouraging remarks. Several NBA players, including Jason Tatum, Trey Young, and Donovan Mitchell, tweeted their prayers for James, and former Lakers forward Metta Sandiford-Artest added, "Praying for Bronny. A wonderful young man. Young fella, return forcefully. Feel and behave better.
USC's new 7-foot player, Vincent Iwuchukwu, suffered an injury during practice exactly one year after Bronny James. Iwuchukwu not only lived but also made a comeback to suit up for the Trojans later in the campaign.
Cardiologist and Chief Medical Officer of L.A. Care Health Plan, Dr. Samir Amin, is not involved in Bronny James' treatment, but he mentioned that the prospect of the youngster's recovery is encouraging, considering the circumstances.
Amin said, "It's a positive sign that there hasn't been significant brain damage or major cardiac injury if it was due to an abnormality in the chest, as was the case with Damar Hamlin. Many times, people get a positive outcome because it's a rare and abnormal event for the heart to stop beating. Also, in young individuals, you get these bounce-backs very quickly. He's already out of the ICU, which is a positive sign."
However, Amin cautioned that predicting Bronny James' return to basketball or how quickly it could happen would be premature.
"If (the cardiac event) is related to an underlying genetic or electrical problem, then it can be a little more challenging to bring someone back to the field of play," Amin said.
As per On3.com, Bronny James' on-court reputation, image, and likeness are valued at $6.3 million, considering his family's fame and massive social media following.
LeBron James has frequently discussed his desire to play one season of college basketball with Bronny, which would be the first time they'd play together since Bronny is their first-born among the three children he shares with his wife. Recently, LeBron confirmed that he would play his 21st NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers after spending the last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The decision to stay close to home was a significant shift for Bronny, who was among the top college basketball prospects last March and is expected to be one of the most exciting teams in the upcoming college basketball season at USC.
Bronny, whose full name is LeBron James Jr., was a rising star at Sierra Canyon School as a two-way guard last season. Bryce, his younger brother, who is 16 years old, played at Sierra Canyon before switching to Campbell Hall School in Studio City for the upcoming high school season.
On July 1, 2022, Vincent Iwuchukwu experienced a cardiac arrest. Athletic trainers utilized an automated external defibrillator to bring him back to life. Iwuchukwu had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator device, commonly known as ICD, placed in his chest. It generates a battery-operated pulse to restore normal heart rhythm.

J&J Expands Clinical Trial of COVID-19 Vaccine to Include Adolescents
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has started dosing adolescents in an ongoing phase 2a trial evaluating its COVID-19 vaccine.
The randomized, placebo-controlled study, launched in September, is assessing the vaccine as both a single-dose and two-dose regimen. The trial, which initially enrolled healthy adults ages 18 to 55 years old in addition to adults 65 years and older, will now include teenagers ages 12 to 17 years.
The study is currently enrolling participants in the UK and Spain, with enrollment expected to begin soon in the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands, followed by Brazil and Argentina.

Restart a study
Yes, but you'd have to take care of that through the client side (programming your experiment), and saving the data in the batch session. If you explain some more details of how you've coded your study and which information you want to store to continue later, I can help
Hello Elisa,
Everything is written with jsPsych.
I have a full list of tasks that need to be completed. If someone's computer crashes or they have to stop I would like them to go back to JATOS and start where they left off. This would require a check to see what data was recorded for this worker and then to start at the end of the list.
I had a feeling it had something to do with the batch. I am assuming it is possible to have a worker write to the batch session and then be able to read from the batch session for that particular worker.
Hi Jason,
Ah, ok, that's a relatively straightforward use case. As I understand it, you don't necessarily want people to be able to start again half way through a task that they just started, it would be ok if they restart the task.
If you haven't done so already, I would start by separating tasks into different components.
Then, you'll need a first "landing and sorting" component. You won't be able to code this with jspsych, not at least with existing plugins. In that component, you'd need to:
- Get the participant's ID (more on this below)
- Figure out if they already started any of the tasks
- Assign them to the correct component/task
- When each component/task finishes, first update the batch session to include the last completed component by each participant, then submit the data to JATOS.
On the participant ID: There are multiple ways to do this, depending on how you recruit participants. If you recruit via prolific/mturk, you can use the IDs from the marketplaces. If you recruit sending personal multiple links, you can use the JATOS ID. If not, you could ask them to create and remember an ID (can be unreliable, but certainly an option).
Let me know if you need any more details or pointers on any of these points. I attached an example for this kind of landing and sorting component. it's overly complicated because it was a longitudinal study with multiple randomization dimensions, but it might give you a starting point. (it's an .html file but I changed the extension to txt to upload it here)
hope this helps
Hello Elisa,
Thank you very much for sharing. I already started working with the batch session data, and I think that will work. I already have what you call a "landing" page and all tasks are separate components. I will got through your attached code to see how you do it.
Thank you,
