Many people in the medical field agree that with legalization Canada has opened the door to an unprecedented glimpse into the effects of cannabis on health.
What they don't agree on is whether that's a good thing.
Cannabis legalization is "a national, uncontrolled experiment," family physician Dr. Diane Kelsall wrote in an editorial for the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ).
"Given the known and unknown health hazards of cannabis, any increase in use of recreational cannabis after legalization, whether by adults or youth, should be viewed as a failure."
If pot use increases, government should amend legislation, says CMAJ
But many public health experts see the "experiment," which began today, as a welcome development that will allow experts to learn more about cannabis and its effects on health — and remove the stigma for the many Canadians who already used marijuana.
"We are not inventing cannabis with this," said David Hammond, a professor of applied public health at the University of Waterloo.
"Whether people are for or against it, one of the upshots of legalization is that we are able — and in fact forced — to talk about a lot of things that we should have been addressing many years ago."
Canada has the opportunity to "be a very key international generator of knowledge on cannabis risk and harms, but also potentially some of the benefits," said Dr. Theresa Tam, the country's chief public health officer.
There are some groups of people who face particular risk factors when it comes to cannabis use — and that's who public health experts will be watching particularly closely in the coming weeks, months and years:
Adolescents and young adults
Experts agree that a better understanding of how cannabis affects the brain development of adolescents and young adults is needed.
Under the federal cannabis law, users must be at least 18 years old. Some provinces and territories have set the minimum age at 19.
But scientists know the brain isn't fully formed until about age 25, so many experts urge teens to wait as long as possible if they choose to use marijuana.
Using cannabis before age 25 puts young people at risk of "messing … with the architecture of the brain, which is not yet finalized," said Dr. Romina Mizrahi, a specialist in neuropharmacology at Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto.
Using cannabis regularly as an adolescent could also increase the risk of addiction or dependence, said Hammond.
"Early, frequent use is one of the best predictors of future serious problems with a substance," he said.
At the same time, he said, it's important that public health messaging convey the risk without disproportionately scaring people into thinking that "if some kid goes and tries it at a party … that all of the sudden they're going to be, you know, an addict in the back alley.
Because the effects of cannabis aren't fully understood, "it's useful to think about it in terms of alcohol," Hammond said.
"Many kids experiment with this, but if you or a friend is using this on a daily or near-daily basis, that's a concern."
People at risk for mental illness
There is strong evidence linking cannabis use to schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis — but researchers don't know exactly why.
Although most people who use cannabis will not experience psychosis, those who are already predisposed to developing it are at particular risk when they are young, said Mizrahi, who is also the head of the youth psychosis prevention clinic at CAMH.
"It's believed that cannabis acts as a trigger in those people," she said, noting that further research is needed to determine the "mechanisms" in the brain that cause that to happen.
"It may be that schizophrenia or psychosis … would have developed anyway," she said.
"But at this point in time there is no question that early use of cannabis — before the age of 16 — and regular use … daily [or] every other day, is associated with higher risk of psychosis in youth," she said.
Although it's difficult to predict who is at risk for developing psychosis, people who have a close family member with schizophrenia or a history of psychotic episodes should be careful about using cannabis, Mizrahi said.
But where research has shown a "robust concern" about cannabis use among people who are susceptible to psychosis, there is no definitive guidance to offer on other mental issues such as depression or anxiety, said Hammond.
"That is one of those areas that we need to learn a lot more [about]," he said.
Many cannabis users have said it helps them manage their depression or anxiety — but there is also conflicting research showing the drug can worsen symptoms.
Pregnant women
Little is known about the effect of cannabis on a developing fetus.
"We, certainly in terms of guidance, recommend as a precautionary approach avoiding using substances during the time of pregnancy as it could impact the developing baby," said Tam. "For example, potentially a lower weight and later on in life, for example, [it] could impact their ability to perform well in school."
The recommendation follows the same line of reasoning used for other substances known to be harmful, such as alcohol or smoking tobacco, she said.
"At the moment there is no known safe level" of cannabis use in pregnancy, Tam said.

Race and the Labor Market: A Call for Counteractive Affirmative Action
thesisposted on 2021-11-15, 18:54 authored by Anthony J. Farmer
Minorities tend to experience higher rates of unemployment than those of white individuals (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017). Controlling for pre-labor market skills, data shows a wage discrepancy resulting solely from race (Antonji and Blank, 1999), which suggests that race plays a role in labor market interactions. In an attempt to understand the causal mechanisms behind this disparate treatment one must turn to the theory of statistical discrimination, which states that the combination employer prior beliefs and imperfect information leads to discriminant hiring behavior (Coate and Loury, 1993).This model of labor market discrimination creates a negative feedback loop that is self-reinforcing. This behavior leads to a higher number of unemployed minorities. This, coupled with de facto segregation leads to a phenomena known as street vice concentration. This phenomena is linked to higher rates of urban crime (Krivo and Peterson, 1996), which results in high societal costs (Kyckelhahn, 2012). The purpose of this project was to create an intervention to counteract the negative externalities of statistical discrimination in the labor market. This project proposes a tax incentive model of affirmative action that will mitigate these externalities. The model is appropriately named Counteractive Affirmative Action. The model is shown to be fully adjustable to differing employer behaviors and responses.

Magic and the modern business world
Faculty | Oct 16, 2018 | admin
When you think of "magic," what comes to mind? A magician's show? Ancient rituals?
Most likely you are not picturing a group of business executives in a conference room.
However, Timothy Malefyt, clinical associate professor at the Gabelli School, says the "theory of magic's a really useful way to explain some business practices."
In his new book, Magical Capitalism: Enchantment, Spells, and Occult Practices in Contemporary Economies, Malefyt and his co-editor Brian Moeran explore how magical practices can be found in contemporary capitalist societies.
For example, in advertising, Malefyt explains that one starts with an unknown: "You don't know if the customer will like this ad." Similarly to how magicians rely upon magical rites, advertisers often use "formulas" to feel comfortable in their presentation to a client, such as habits surrounding the time they present or the way everyone is sitting at the table.
"Magic offers a way to make a connection and effect change through willful beliefs and ritual practices," Malefyt adds.
While today's executives may not realize their rituals mirror those studied for years in less-developed societies, Malefyt has found that even modern marketing practices borrow the belief that there's a piece of the puzzle we can't get from technology.
"Big data doesn't solve problems," Malefyt emphasizes. It "doesn't get into the why."
After gathering and displaying the data, analysts are still tasked with interpreting it. "It really is about closing this uncertainty gap," he says.
This line of thinking is not incongruent with Fordham's tradition of providing "a broad and well-rounded education," Malefyt continues. In his role of advisor for the global marketing with consumer insights concentration, one goal is to help students answer this question: how do we take business challenges and look at them as human problems? He hopes students can use what they learn about how people act and think to help further the understanding of human complexity within their future organizations.
Whether you believe in magic or not, Malefyt says that "magical thinking is a modern way to create these extraordinary connections between things, people, organizations, and beliefs."

With Hurricane Sandy still vividly imprinted on everyone's mind, it is important to remember that the storm's destruction did not begin once the storm came ashore off the coast of New Jersey. Before the storm made landfall, it took the lives of 70 people, the majority occurring in Haiti (54) and Cuba (11), but also in Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. While many regard the Caribbean as being blessed with warm tropical waters and white sandy beaches, it has also been cursed by geography, as it sits in what can best be understood as "Hurricane Alley." The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Climate Change Center has stated that "The two dozen island nations of the Caribbean, and the 40 million people who live there, are in a state of increased vulnerability to climate change. Higher temperatures, rises in sea level, and increased hurricane intensity threaten lives, property and livelihoods throughout the region."
Just as Hurricane Sandy was described as a "Frankenstorm" because it was a combination of the worst possible scenarios, the Caribbean has been dealing with increasingly intense storms—the result of which has torn at the economic, social, and political fabric of the region. Norman Girvan, of the University of the West Indies reflected that "30 years ago, one expected to deal with major disasters of this kind, say, once every ten years. Nowadays, most islands expect at least one, and possibly two or three, every year. In other words this now has to be seen as a permanent, recurring phenomenon or integral feature of Caribbean development."
According to Princeton University Geosciences professor Michael Oppenheimer, "Climate change will probably increase storm intensity and size simultaneously, resulting in a significant intensification of storm surges." David Enfield, a senior scientist at the University of Miami and former physical oceanographer at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration stated that "The severe hurricanes might actually become worse. We may have to invent a category 6."
Perhaps out of necessity, CARICOM has avoided politicizing the issue of climate change, choosing instead to develop ways how to both minimize and cope with its undesirable and unpredictable effects. As far back as 1994, Barbados hosted the Global Conference on the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States. This resulted in the emergence of the Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Climate Change (CPACC) project. The plan sought to integrate the impacts of climate change into the planning strategies of the region and strengthening technical capacity. Despite these moves, Mother Nature has been insistent on not giving the region a break from the intense storms.
In 2004, Hurricane Ivan leveled Grenada, damaging 90% of the homes on the island and killing 12. The island literally looked like it had been hit by an atomic bomb. The Prime Minister's own home was flattened, and he had to relocate his office and residence to a British Naval ship. Not surprisingly, the storm decimated the island's agriculture industry as well. At the time it was the most powerful hurricane to hit the Caribbean in a decade.
Hurricane Wilma later surpassed Ivan's power in 2005, claiming the lives of 12 in Haiti, four in Cuba, and one in the Bahamas and Jamaica. In 2007, while not as powerful as Wilma, Hurricane Dean took 28 lives in the Caribbean. In 2010, Hurricane Tomas smashed into St. Lucia, causing an estimated $500 million in damages. The hurricane destroyed the island's banana crop, severely damaged the John Compton dam, washed out crucial roads, and took the lives of 14 people. To put things in perspective, the United States is over 1800 times the size of St. Lucia in regards to population; on this basis it would be equivalent to the United States dealing with $916,000,000,000 in damages.
Given that much of the Caribbean is already in a dire economic situation, their ability to rebuild is severely hampered. Each super storm chips away at already scarce infrastructure, increasing the debt burden of these nations and placing them in a more precarious situation. Unfortunately, the impact of climate change in the Caribbean is not confined to hurricanes however—the Caribbean also has to deal with the rising water levels and rising temperatures.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted in 2007 that the global average sea level would rise between seven and 23 inches by the end of this century. This would have a significant impact on the low-lying islands of the Bahamas and Anguilla. It would also submerge many of the region's beaches and deal the tourism industry a critical blow. Because the Caribbean is highly dependent on tourism, a decline in tourism would rob many governments of their most important tax base—resulting in declining support for healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
Furthermore, 2010 saw a sharp spike in ocean temperatures in the Caribbean. The increased temperatures lead to widespread coral deaths. In 2005, 80% of corals were bleached and as many as 40% died in areas on the eastern side of the Caribbean. Scientists studying corals in the Caribbean reported that the damage to corals in 2010 were more devastating than in 2005. It is estimated that 80% of marine life is found in coral reefs and that these reefs are found in only 1% of the ocean territory.
Thus the impact on reefs has social and economic consequences. In the Caribbean, fisheries employ nearly 200,000 people, noted Dr. Leonard Nurse of the Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies at the University of the West Indies. Furthermore, the industry earns USD $5 billion to $6 billion per year in foreign exchange and providing about 10% of the region's protein intake. As another example of the Caribbean's near total dependency on tourism, dive tourism and recreational fishing are also important revenue sources. In 2000, one study estimated dive tourism and fisheries in the Caribbean provided an economic value between $3.1 billion and $4.6 billion. In a compounding manner, the rising sea levels would create higher storm surges during hurricanes, and the warming ocean waters would fuel stronger storms.
When it comes to discussing climate change in the Caribbean, the sharp inequalities in power and resources come to light. Despite climate change posing a major threat to their survival—and their playing an insignificant impact on carbon emissions—the small countries of the Caribbean have extremely limited influence on the decisions being made (or not made). Extend this inequality to matters of trade and finance and the region is not only at a major disadvantage in preparing for and coping with disasters, both economic and environmental, but it is also being assaulted on many fronts by issues they cannot control.
Dr. Givan best articulated the seriousness of the situation when he remarked that "When you combine acute climate change-related stress of this kind with (a) the acute economic stress arising out of erosion of trade preferences and the failure to develop a new 'insertion' into the global economy, (b) fiscal stress due to unsustainable debt burdens and the impact of the global economic crisis; and (c) the seeming incapacity of governments to control the impact of transnational crime; one must wonder if we are not in fact experiencing an overlapping and interconnected series of challenges which in their totality, challenge the assumptions underlying the 'national statehood' dispensation of the region."
Knowing that it is hard to see any bright spots coming out of such a devastating event like Hurricane Sandy, perhaps it will force the issue of climate change onto the political agenda in such a way that it will be impossible to ignore. The Caribbean has not had the luxury to ignore climate change because they were affected in more acute ways via hurricanes, rising sea levels, and warming currents. Hurricane Sandy has shown that this is now changing.

Establishing the MAC (1/4)
The positioning and composition of a Multisectoral Advisory Committee will depend on the structures already in place in country. The following steps help to establish a MAC which is appropriate to country context and needs:
- Review coordination structures of multisectoral policies and plans for nutrition
- Select the best option with all stakeholders
- Prepare terms of reference and way of working
- Appoint the Chair and other members
1. Review coordination structures of multisectoral policies and plans of action for nutrition
A review of existing national multisectoral coordination structures can be undertaken as a first step to help identify the different options for positioning the MAC. Such a review might have already taken place during the preparation phase of the NIPN project.
The review needs to be conducted at the administrative level at which the multisectoral nutrition coordination is taking place, which in most countries is at the national level and in some countries also at sub-national level. In case the NIPN platform may also be operationalised at sub-national level, the MAC may also need to be established at that very level, preceded by a review of the actors at sub-national level.
Such a review assesses:
- Organisation of national multisectoral nutrition coordination structures
- Existence of coordinating committees and where they sit within government structures
- Degree of multisectoral involvement
- Degree of functionality
- Mandate and theme of technical committees
- Influence of technical committees on decision-making in nutrition

Google Your Way Out In World Of The Living Dead
I'm a big fan of games that use existing, but non-game tech in interesting gamey ways. World Of The Living Dead is a Google Maps based zombie survival MMO. You're a watchful protector trying to guide survivors around real world city streets. You use Maps' pathfinding to set destinations, and the zombie density reflects US census data. You need to manage the survivor's fear, fatigue, hunger and route as the zombies increase their grip on the world.
The complexities are in the micro-management and pondering your moves ahead. Every little detail of the squad of people you're looking after needs managed to drive them through the streets. Overlaid on the the map are missions, safehouses, a well as the raw data of the outbreak scale: the immediate city blocks around you are coloured according to risk, so for everything you do you have to factor in the danger of the surroundings.
When you eventually make it to a place, you can leave messages for those that come after you, encouragement, help, even warnings if you're feeling territorial. There's also a twitter-ish messaging system that does the same, and you can chat to other players, or use it to tell your story. One update reads: "Locations beginning to thin. Density of Zombies growing steadily to the north. Thinking about moving south soon."
I've only played an hour or so, but there's an sense of dread whenever I look away from my browser: the world ticks along if I'm there or not. I'm already pondering telling the survivors to hide so I can get back to work: there's a lot of information to parse, and plenty of missions to leap into, and it feels like it might be just a little too involved as a game to play while at work, even if you need to rest the survivors after running them from place to place. It's rather intense.
It also got me thinking about a game based on hyper-local knowledge: imagine being able to play a game based on knowing which alleyways are safe? In that regard, the place I grew up would be a Deus Ex Revolution style boss fight.

When importing a list from a file, I see that 6 contacts did not import because they were unsubscribed. How do I know which ones they are?
I had this chat this morning with Robin (who was, like all of your people, great to deal with; no complaints about courtesy and service!!). Please read and then let me know how the removal of these three functionalities from Constant Contact makes the product better and my work easier. I would really like to know. Here is the chat: Robin F: Welcome to Constant Contact support. My name is Robin. One moment while I review your request. Robin F: Hi Matt! I can definitely help you with this. What kinds of questions do you have about merging lists and suppression lists? You: Okay, pretty straightfoward: the first is about merging. In the past, this was a very simple procedure-- you selected "Merge Lists"... you came to a screen where you had all your lists on the left and target lists on the right. You checked off the lists you wanted to merge together on the left. You checked off the one list you wanted to merge those to on the right. You clicked "Merge". Done. I don't see how to do that now. Robin F: I am so sorry, we did change this. Now, you can go to the list you want to merge, check the box to select all of the contacts, then click on Add to Lists at the top. This will merge those contacts into the list you choose. You: So if I have ten lists I'm trying to merge together, say, I have to go through that individual process 10 times? Robin F: Yes. I am so sorry! If you go down to the bottom of any page in Constant Contact, there is a Feedback link to send feedback to our developers if you wish to have them add this back in the future. You: Okay-- next question is about suppressing addresses. Often we do promotions where we like to remove anyone who bought the product in the last week before we do a followup e-mail... just so that we don't hassle them unnecessarily. Robin F: That makes sense! Some users do this... if you "tag" the contacts who have not purchased yet, you can narrow down sending your email to only the ones with the tag. This link explains exactly how tags work - https://knowledgebase.constantcontact.com/articles/KnowledgeBase/38576-Create-and-Manage-Tags Robin F: Other users temporarily remove them from their lists, but you would have to do a temporary hold for each contact, so it could take considerable time, especially if you had a lot of people who purchased your product. You: Originally, you could go to your list, click "remove contacts" and then have the option to upload a spreadsheet of names and e-mail addresses that you didn't want to send to... the system would remove those particular names from the list you were working with. Can that still be done? Robin F: Oh, that process was removed as well. You: I remembered one other question-- regarding unsubscribes. A big portion of our lists are members of our clubs. These people expect to receive newsletters and updates from us, but they periodically, inadvertently, unsubscribe themselves. Sometimes they think they are only opting out of getting promotional e-mails, but will still get the club updates... sometimes it's nothing more than a mistake. When I upload a refreshed membership list, the system will tell me, "Could not add 25 contacts because they have unsubscribed." Sorry to keep saying "in the past", but... in the past, you could then click the link and see who those unsubscribes were. Then we could contact them individually and say, "Do you really want to be unsubscribed? Or do you expect to still receive updates?" Now, it seems, I get told how many unsubscribed, but not who. Is there a way to see who those people are without doing an upload/download and cross referencing lists manually? Robin F: Ahh, yes. Now you can go to Contacts and click on Unsubcribes an export them, but be sure to include the Date Updated in the export. That way you can see who the opt-outs are and when they opted out. Robin F: Under Contacts > Activity, when it says it could not add some contacts because they were previously opted out, it is no longer clickable to see who they are. Robin F: Here is how to get people added back if they accidentally opt-out - http://knowledgebase.constantcontact.com/articles/KnowledgeBase/5514-add-back-an-unsubscribed-contac... You: But does that export grab every unsubscribe in the history of the account? Or is there a way to see who your unsubscribes were on a particular list after the upload has happened? Robin F: It does get all of the opt-outs, and with 21,000+ this will take about 10 minutes to export. And no, sorry, you cannot see that data any longer
I just spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. I needed to know which 4 of 80+ members couldn't be added so I can contact them directly for their lunch invitation at our upcoming conference. I tried four different things to try to figure out those four - no luck!

A Trip to Europe
by Nasreen Alshamsi, Rasha Alnuami, and Zahra Akbar
Nasreen Alshamsi, Rasha Alnuami, and Zahra Akbar began brainstorming ideas that represented the ongoing events happening around the world, and eventually came across the viral picture of a Syrian boy washed up on a European beach. The child was Alan Kurdi, one of the many child immigrants seeking a new life in a Western country. This child and his parents were trying to go to Canada, but after being rejected by the Canadian immigration authorities, they had no choice but to board an inflatable raft which ultimately resulted in a crash and the loss of their son's life.
Rather than specifically trying to contribute to this conversation of immigrants and the dangers of migrant smuggling, the group wanted to move away from the harshness and instead tell the story of an innocent child whose dream was crushed by the reality of this world.

Wayne Wang | Smoke | Blue in the Face | Because of Winn-Dixie
Classic Film and Television Home Page
Wayne Wang is a contemporary film director. Wang is one of the pioneers of the Independent Film in the United States.
Some common subjects in the films of Wayne Wang:
Wang's thriller plots tend to be triggered by a sympathetic character in trouble. One good guy character gets fairly innocently entangled with some menacing thugs, often through some mistakes of judgment or lack of prudence. These bad guys threaten this hero, intimidate him, cause him to go into hiding, and often seem to enmesh him in various financial schemes of theirs. Eventually the good guy manages to get out of their clutches, often a bit anticlimactically. There are no sweeping melodramatic conspiracies in Wang, ŕ la The Fugitive or The Net, and no massive gunplay ŕ la Schwarzenegger. The whole thing seems largely realistic, and somewhat frighteningly believable: the audience can easily imagine getting involved with these thugs, and being menaced by them.
There are also other sympathetic characters, who seek to help the character in trouble. These are also important characters in the film, and in Chan Is Missing and Slam Dance were the actual protagonists of the movie. In Smoke these "help" characters are played by William Hurt and Harvey Keitel, and are part of a larger ensemble. The help characters tend to be creative artists: Tom Hulce played a cartoonist in Slam Dance, Keitel a photographer and Hurt a novelist in Smoke.
The help characters have to get at the truth of the situation, and have to work their way through a paranoiac mass of deceptions. Everyone is lying, and things are not what they seem. These characters learn a lot, but they do not always arrive at Final Truth. The paranoia often centers around major social divides: Capitalist vs. Communist China in Chan Is Missing, black vs. white America in Smoke. There is also being born in China vs. America dividing the generations in the parent-child movies. These polarities are major gaps that the characters try to bridge in the movies. There is an effect of resonance in the movies, of the coexistence of two contradictory worlds that are inconsistent, but between which the movie seems to echo back and forth.
The slow, atmospheric background shots of Dim Sum also appear in Smoke, especially a lingering shot of a train slowly moving through Brooklyn.
The recurring still shots of Grant Avenue in Chan Is Missing recalled the visual refrain technique of Alain Resnais, and the lingering images of Dim Sum suggested Robert Bresson, and the mountains of still photos in Smoke recall Chris Marker's La Jetée. But it is clear by now that this is a personal technique of Wang's, however much it is influenced by French cinema of the New Wave era, with personal meanings as well.
Both films also show domestic routine, such as people washing dishes. Character-revealing conversations take place against the background of such routine.
When Wang goes into the countryside in Smoke, he takes us to a region of unutterably lush summer time growth, full of trees near country roads. This recalls the lush Southern nature exteriors in Because of Winn-Dixie. Smoke takes place in upstate New York, but it is photographed in a way that recalls Southern fecundity of nature in the later movie.
Both films are full of eccentric characters. Both have artist characters.
Because of Winn-Dixie has subject-matter relationships with Bresson's films, especially Au hasard, Balthazar (1966). Just as the donkey Balthazar symbolizes Christ, so does the dog in Because of Winn-Dixie. The startling scene in Because of Winn-Dixie where the parrot hovers over the dog evokes traditional religious paintings of the Holy Spirit represented by a dove hovering over Jesus.
There are thematic differences, however. Bresson's film is about human evil and depravity, with his characters representing all the human sins. The subject of Wang's film is the pain of loneliness. The people in Because of Winn-Dixie are not evil, but they sure are suffering. It is a very powerful portrait.
Because of Winn-Dixie is a family film about a lonely little girl who is befriended by a dog. Everybody's first response to such a film is that it must be simple-minded. It is not. It is one of the year's more complex movies. Like other Wang films, it is a slow moving, leisurely work that encourages introspection. The characters look deep into their lives and relationships. And Wang encourages viewers to do the same in their own lives.

Institutions of the Qatar Foundation will visit the UK shortly to participate in the Qatar Foundation/United Kingdom Road Ahead Forum to be held on Monday 19 January at King's College London. The Forum implements a Memorandum of Understanding on Research and Education signed by the Qatar Foundation and its United Kingdom partners (The Department for Business Innovation & Skills, The British Council and Universities UK International Unit) in September 2013, and is one of a number of activities designed to develop closer links between the Qatar Foundation and the UK. The visiting Qatar Foundation delegation will include representatives from: Hamad bin Khalifa University (HbKU); Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF); Qatar Energy and Environment Research Institute (QEERI); Qatar Biomedical Research Institute (QBRI); Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI); Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP); Qatar National Library (QNL); World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE). The Forum will be both informative and interactive, and discussions will mainly focus on new directions for QF/UK partnerships. The Forum will also include breakout networking discussions on potential research collaboration in the following areas: computing; biomedical and health research; energy, environment & water applied research; assessing and measuring innovation in education; and open access information.

Halfway 10% of the way to trillion, with a T:
Economic damages inflicted by Hurricane Sandy could reach $50 billion, according to new estimates that are more than double a previous forecast. Some economists warned on Thursday that the storm could shave a half percentage point off the nation's economic growth in the current quarter.
Losses from the storm could total $30 billion to $50 billion, according to Eqecat, which tracks hurricanes and analyzes the damage they cause. On Monday, before the storm hit the East Coast, the firm estimated $10 billion to $20 billion in total economic damages.
The flooding of New York's subways and roadway tunnels and the extensive loss of business as a result of utility failures across the region were behind the sharp increase in the estimate, the firm said. ...
Eqecat predicted that New York would bear 34 percent of the total economic losses, with New Jersey suffering 30 percent, Pennsylvania 20 percent and other states 16 percent. That includes all estimated losses, whether covered by insurance or not. The estimates and the share that will be covered by insurers are far from certain at this point, as government officials, property owners and insurance adjusters struggle to assess the destruction. ...
*Dang, first rule of blogging: one cup of coffee before the first morning post.
Hurricane Sandy will rank high among disasters in terms of economic impact but will not be at the top of the list, said Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics. He estimated that the losses would be less than half of those suffered because of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and from Hurricane Katrina.
Moody's Analytics also put the impact in the $50 billion range, with about $12 billion in losses falling in the New York City metropolitan area.
About $20 billion of that total is from lost economic activity like meals not served in restaurants, canceled plane flights and bets not placed in casinos, Mr. Zandi estimated. The rest, about $30 billion, will be from property destruction, including damage to homes, cars and businesses, Mr. Zandi said.

The future music label is…Uncategorized
Lucas Gonze, engaged in a blogversation about what music labels really are and what they can be in the future, doesn't know, but has a suggestion for how a label might figure it out (emphasis added):
Mo bettah, Mr. Hands
Clustering is something labels are already doing. Blue Note is for jazz. Warp is for a particular kind of electronica. Matador, Sub Pop, Metal Blade…
Which brings me back to Ian's proposal to Guy Hands:reconfigure your labels to be based around affinities and focused narrowly enough to serve roughly the same audiences from release to release.I'll buy that this is an important thing to do, and the need is not going away. But I'm still skeptical that record companies can cannibalize their current business to do the right thing in this new niche, and in the meantime YouTube, Myspace, CC Mixter, and GYBO are doing fine without them.
So here's my proposal to Guy Hands as to what he should do with EMI's new music business.
Creative Commons has posted a Request for Proposals (RFP) regarding the future of the ccMixter.org site, and Victor has posted detailed comments on this. If I were EMI I would step in to operate CC Mixter. It's a fully functional cluster of music makers with a strong hold on its niche. I don't know how to monetize it at the scale EMI would need, but I do know that at least EMI would be in the game. Take over and learn how it works. Use the time to gain the institutional skills in managing community. This will take a while, but in a few years the Mixter community will have started to reverse colonize your company. And that's EMI needs — to absorb the values and skills needed to manage clusters.

Dumgoyne - 427m
Dumfoyn - 426m
Slackdhu - 496m
Friday 3rd February 2012
Dumfoyn - 426m
Slackdhu - 496m
Friday 3rd February 2012
Weather/Conditions: Good weather and wintry-feeling. Bleak mountains on Slackdhu when the sun went away - a really beautiful place, though. And a walk back in the moonlit dark.
Distance/Ascent/Time: 9.3km / 700m / 6h
Accompanying: Tom
One of the great things about going up hills with Tom is that we spend so much time talking, that we get very little actually done. There's always enough to go around, general mountain-talk, the state of black metal (that one comes up again and again), and philosophy too. The weather was good on the way up Dumgoyne, where we met a couple. The (very) exuberant girl was filled with awe that we were going all the way over to Slackdhu. (I thought this was fun. Tom must have enjoyed it.) Later on we met Dave, the dad of an old school friend of mine. We chatted briefly on the way up, and then on the summit.
But Tom and I had plans. We descended the scree gully of Dumgoyne (always a lot of fun) and headed over towards Dumfoyn by a circuitous route across 'Drumiekill Knowes'. There's a little pinnacle here that we climbed across and sat on top of having a break.
The day got late as we crossed Dumfoyn and towards Slackdhu. When we finally made it to the top of Slackdhu, the sun had gone down and we found ourselves on the snowy plateau with blue light of dusk shrouding all the tops. It was a hell of a place to be. Earl's Seat had a white cap of snow, edged against a dark sky - a defiant out-of-this-world look. I persuaded Tom to take the extra effort to walk to the edge of the Slackdhu cliffs - an experience he must have loved and hated in equal measures!
I love these cliffs, their open, airy feel and the paralysing exposure that I haven't felt about many cliffs. They are 100m high - many Highland crags are higher, but whatever it is about them, the great bowl is cliffs is always an inspiration for me. After a look, Tom and I headed back along the front of Slackdhu, down the north-west gully and back to the road.
As a side note, I always look for rock climbing lines when I'm in the hills. North-west gully is the first gully you see on the Slackdhu face, starting from the left. There seemed to be wee buttresses in this gully of sound rock, that could hold lines of up to 10 metres. For now it was time to get down, the darker it got, the harder it was to read the ground! We descended the fields and got back to the road at Cantywheery. Walking the return road was a strange experience, because although I cycled it once years ago, it seemed like a completely alien viewpoint on hills I otherwise knew so well. In moonlight, I freaked Tom out who I don't think enjoyed the dark spaces among the forests. (Sorry for freaking you out Tom :-) )
All in all, I thought this quite a special Campsies walk. We did the standard round of three hills from a new starting point. Dumgoyne and Dumfoyn were much as you'd expect, but the mood on Slackdhu was fantastic in the snow and the twilight. It's what winter is all about.

Marooned in the midst of a Victorian industrial landscape in an unlikely corner of Dover – the famous, unassuming town where I grew up – is an ancient European Yew tree (Taxus baccata). It lies in the valley of the river Dour (pronounced 'doer') from which the town takes its name. This name has a celtic root (like the Welsh word for water – dŵr), and is an echo of a place that was here even before the Roman port of Dubris.
The Yew grows in a churchyard once hidden behind the Buckland paper mill. Demolition of the mill, apart from a large brick Victorian shed screening the site, has exposed the river Dour that ran under the mill complex for more than a century. The flattened fenced-off ground is paved with factory floors and the rubble of former walls. Dereliction has allowed the Dour to become a haven for Moorhens who make a living among the newly luxurious growth of aquatic plants, bringing to mind a pre-industrial water meadow landscape with a flint church nestling next to a ford in the river.
Google's Satellite View: The river Dour meanders through the paper mill site with Buckland churchyard to the left. The Buckland yew is a dark green blob next to the church.
The locked and somewhat shabby church of St. Andrew's, Buckland, sits in its graveyard of greening gothic monuments – including those to former mill owners – occupying a sliver of land between the mill and a steep nineteenth century railway embankment.
The Buckland Yew is here, pre-dating all this Victorian order, and the current church, and marking a site that may have held significance even before the arrival of Christianity. In 1880 this remarkable tree was moved 50 feet to its present spot in order to make room for a church extension. The newly moved Yew was enclosed by an iron fence – now rusting – which I remember not many years ago in good repair and with a sign giving details of the tree, its removal and its reputed age. Now a gate to this enclosure swings open allowing access to the tree and exposing the detritus of churchyard drinking among its branches and hollows.
The tree is said to be 1000 years old and like many ancient trees, the ravages of time have caused characterful limbs to convulse and fall into awkward shapes requiring several props to keep it from becoming entirely horizontal. From a distance the tree's crown is large and verdant and it shows the typical coniferous shape of a Yew albeit broader and lower than a younger tree.
The Buckland Yew has survived removal at least once in its life, it has coped with people and animals clambering on or around it, and in the last two centuries has lived in close proximity to industry and war. It shows every sign of continued vigour in what is now a quiet and gently crumbling corner of a town whose character and urban environment is set to change once again. I hope that the Buckland Yew will become a cherished feature in the new post-industrial Dour valley landscape that with imagination and good planning could emerge in the years to come.

The Pavlovian Puppy Potty Trainer.
This is the puppy pad that recognizes when a pet has relieved itself properly, and dispenses a reward to encourage good habits – even when the owner isn't there to provide praise. Internal sensors in the mat detect moisture and send a wireless signal to the treat dispenser, stocked with a dog's favorite kibble. When the dispenser delivers a bite-size reward (with or without the optional chime for additional reinforcement), dogs quickly learn where it is safe to go to the bathroom. A handheld remote with 25′ range lets the owner conduct training exercises and establish good habits more quickly. The 10 included pads comprise six layers of absorbent material that won't leak. Dispenser holds treat up to 1/2″. Dispenser can be wall mounted or left free standing. Includes batteries. 9″ H x 9″ W x 9″ D. (3 lbs.)

Bernie Sanders' accurate prediction of Donald Trump's election night playbook goes viral
An interview that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) gave to Jimmy Fallon last month is going viral because of Sanders' prescient prediction of how President Donald Trump would act on election night.
Sanders noted to "The Tonight Show" host Fallon on Oct. 23 that studies showed Democrats are "more likely to use mail-in ballots" and Republicans to walk into polling booths on Election Day. Sanders said it would likely be "the first votes that will be counted will be those people who came in on Election Day, which will be Republican."
Sanders predicted how Trump could attempt to use this to his advantage:
It could well be that at 10 o'clock on election night, Trump is winning in Michigan, he's winning in Pennsylvania, he's winning in Wisconsin, and he gets on the television and he says, 'Thank you, Americans, for reelecting me. It's all over. Have a good day.' But then, the next day, and the day following, all of those mail-in ballots start getting counted, and it turns out that Biden has won those states, at which point Trump says, 'See? I told you the whole thing was fraudulent. I told you those mail-in ballots were crooked. And we're not going to leave office.' So that is a worry that I and a lot of people have.
Trump didn't make his declaration at 10 p.m. Tuesday — but he did use a press conference in the White House in the early hours of Wednesday to falsely claim victory over Democratic nominee Joe Biden, even though millions of votes remain uncounted and no reputable organization called the winner of the election.
"We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election," Trump said. "We want all voting to stop. We don't want them to find any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning and add them to the list. It's a very sad moment. We will win this, and as far as I'm concerned we already have won."
Sanders' prediction has now been seen more than 7 million times on Twitter:

Ron Johnson's victory over Russ Feingold in 2010 was probably the highlight of that election night for me. Unlike in Illinois, the victorious Republican was a strong conservative. Unlike in Pennsylvania, the Republican defeated an entrenched incumbent and one of the most left-wing members of the Senate.
Sen. Johnson has not disappointed in office. Despite representing a purple state, Johnson has been a staunch conservative. His lifetime rating by the American Conservative Union is 93.4 percent. Similarly, the Club for Growth rates him at 90 percent lifetime.
Johnson has also been a persistent and effective critic of Hillary Clinton. It was in response to his questioning that she uttered her famous line about Benghazi: "What difference at this point does it make?"
This year, Sen. Johnson is facing the man he defeated in 2010 — ultra-liberal Russ Feingold. Keeping Feingold out of the Senate would be an important goal for conservatives even if he were facing someone less solid than Ron Johnson.
Johnson is the underdog in this race. The RCP average has Feingold nearly 8 point ahead.
However, the most recent poll, by CBS News/YouGov, suggests a much tighter race. Feingold leads in that poll by only 3 points — 45-42.
Republicans are well-organized and battle-tested in Wisconsin. If Donald Trump proves not to be too much of a drag, Johnson has a shot at defeating Feingold again. How sweet that would be!
To help make it happen you can contribute to the Johnson campaign here. I just did.

What is Yard Waste?
Yard Waste includes normal lawn and garden debris such as leaves, brush, grass clippings, twigs, pruning and small branches (not more than 3-inches in diameter and not longer than 4 feet). Bamboo is not accepted in the City's Yard Waste and must be called in as a Bulky Pickup.
How Do I Request Collections?
You can call, email, or download our phone app to make requests.
Yard Debris Collections are made on most Wednesdays. View the Yard Debris calendar for the complete collection schedule. Requests for pickups must be made by the end of the day Monday. During May, the Department will offer an additional Monday pickup, which must be scheduled before the end of the day Thursday. To contact us by phone call: (301) 725-0088 Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (TTY/Text users call via Maryland Relay). After hour callers may leave a message on our automated voice mail system. For your convenience you can also schedule a yard debris pickup 24/7 by e-mailing Public Works at [email protected]. You can also schedule a yard debris pickup through our online ap located below through the My Laurel mobile app.
Why Do I Need to Request a Collection?
Even though Yard Debris is free, it is still considered a special collection. Our crews do not drive through the entire city looking for yard waste, but instead each week they are given a route of only those addresses where pickup was requested. We also only pick up at those addresses who made requests. Even if other yard debris is out along a street where we are picking up we do not take it because we want our residents to get into the habit of calling us to get put on the list each week they need yard debris picked up.
Preparing for Pickup
If you can't recycle your yard waste and it is necessary for curbside pick-up by the city, residents must use a paper lawn bag or another type of reusable container. Yard Waste in plastic bags will not be accepted.
- Do not mix yard debris with other bulk trash items
- Cut branches and twigs into lengths of 4' or less
- Branches and brush must be tied into bundles (tie with twine, or metal tie wires) or placed inside a container that can easily be emptied (containers must not weigh more than 80 pounds each). Bundles of branches cannot exceed 2' in diameter.
- Branches must be less than 3" in diameter (larger branches and tree trunks must be collected as bulky trash)
Reasons to Recycle Yard Waste
- The City's Yard Waste Recycling Program will enhance the environment by reducing the amount of solid waste going to the landfill and produce a valuable resource. This program, along with similar efforts by other jurisdictions, will extend the life span of the landfill, and produce natural compost material for use in gardens.
- Backyard compost your small brush, grass clippings, leaves, sod, etc. Composting yard waste recycles nutrients back into the yard and saves landfill space.
- Composting reduces yard waste volume by 50 percent to 75 percent. Adding manure or soil increases volume.
- Composting plant wastes avoids the temporary nitrogen deficit seen when plant materials are added directly to the garden.
- The microorganisms that break down plant wastes require favorable temperatures, moisture and oxygen.
- Compost is best used as a soil amendment, not a mulch.
- Leave grass clippings on the lawn. Clippings return nutrients to your lawn, acting as one fertilizer application per summer growing season. Grass blades contain about 85% water. When clippings are picked up, you lose moisture for the growing grass. Mow high and often - you will spend less time on yard work and eliminate the chore of bagging. Clippings return nutrients to the soil and make your lawn healthy and green. Grass clippings do not cause thatch!
- Composting at home cuts back on the expense of fertilizers and top soil. Mix "browns" (such as dead leaves and weeds) with "greens" (such as grass clippings and garden trimmings). Turn the pile, make sure the composting material is kept moist (like a damp sponge), and you will have compost within several months.
- Plant slow-growing trees, shrubs and grasses. You will have less pruning and trimming to do, and you will generate less yard waste.

If you need any additional information or have any questions or comments, please call us at 301-725-0088 or you may e-mail us at [email protected].

Jaipur (Rajasthan), Aug. 1 : In a major revelation, the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Monday exposed the Uttar Pradesh Police in connection with the brutal gang-rape of a woman and her daughter in Bulandshahr district, saying that the crucial (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) POCSO Act was missing from the FIR, which was a clear flouting of the law Speaking to ANI, NCW chief Lalitha Kumaramangalam said the police's attitude towards the incident showed its apathy "The whole case is dependent on the FIR.
When a minor girl has been gang-raped, there should have been POCSO. From NCW, we are clear that this is police apathy and callousness. They are trying to cover up the matter. There is a huge difference between what they are saying in front of the media and what they are actually doing," she said.
She further revealed that 15 persons were neither arrested nor detained, adding that only eight persons were detained and the family has identified three.
Kumaramangalam stated when the enquiry team of the NCW was going to Noida to the victim's place, the police took the family to Bulandshahr and their phones were forcefully switched off.
"When our team reached Bulandshahr, they were not allowed to meet for an hour. When our team said that you cannot stop us from meeting them, at least not legally, they were allowed to meet.
The team got to know that the girl has high fever and she did not eat anything since morning and she was not given any medicine," she added.
She said when DGP Javeed Ahmed came, instead of meeting the victims, he was given Guard of Honour first.
"After that, he (DGP) went to see the site and at last he came and met the victims and gave them two cheques each of Rs.
50,000 and told them that the Chief Minister is very much worried in this case and assured of justice," she added.
Kumaramangalam said Investigating Officer Bhanwar Pal came and asked whether the victims are sitting in the police station.
"May be due to elections next year, he (Bhanwar Pal) is trying to cover up the issue. The victim's family asked us whether we will do their counselling.we said yes. We will send our team with a doctor and a trained clinical counsellor," she added. She further said that she would probably go to Uttar Pradesh next week, where she would discuss with the police and administration about making a plan to decrease the carelessness from the police's side.
At least three people were arrested earlier today in connection with the case. "Rakesh, Savesh and Jawar Singh have been arrested in Bulandshahr gang rape and loot case," Meerut DIG Lakshmi Singh told ANI.
In wake of the incident, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav yesterday directed the station heads related to the incident to be suspended.
As per sources, Bulandshahr's SSP, CO and Inspector have been suspended. Three accused were identified yesterday by the victims in connection with the case. DGP Javeed Ahmed said there were three women at the spot, adding one among them was an elderly woman. The incident took place on Friday night when a 35-year-old woman and her 14-year-old daughter were allegedly gang-raped by a group of robbers in Bulandshahr district.
The victims were on their way from Noida to Shahjahanpur with the other family members when their vehicle was stopped near a cycle repairing shop in Dostpur village on NH-9, which connects Noida and Bulandshahr.

|Create New Organizations or Person
1. Log into the application.
|Case calendar events not showing up for followers
|Ann created a case. She owns it.
Sally was asked to approve the 'change case status'. As Sally, I went in and reviewed all of the info. As a user, I expected to see the case calendar. (keep in mind that it wouldn't make sense for Sally to have a shared calendar in outlook…she just wanted to see what had been going on).
Spoke to Matt, he believes that Sally has to be at least a follower to see the case calendar. (seems odd to me, but I went ahead and added her as a follower). Unfortunately, she still cannot see the case calendar for the case in which she is trying to close.
This is a bug. A user shouldn't need to be an assignee. I might be able to be convinced that the concept of the user must be a follower of the case to see those details..but I'm wondering why we have that strict of a business rule for the case, where non-followers can see everything else in the case? Doesn't seem like consistent logic to me. I vote to discuss this in a meeting.
|LDAP r/w access does not work with SAML/SSO profile
|Any attempt to modify LDAP objects (users or groups) when using {{ssoSaml}} Spring profile is impossible, since the Spring beans necessary to do that are not defined in that Spring profile, but only in {{ldap}}, {{kerberos}} and {{externalAuth}} profiles.

|User management: warning on nearing password expiration

When the current date is within 10 days prior to the password expiration, then somehow notify the user on login… I don't know if we have a way to show a modal dialog right after login… if not then maybe just a message window.

|Show as XML option in Report and Audit module takes user to Authentication Required…
|When I login to ArkCase Dev and select Audit module from the Navigation Bar, I am taken to Audit.
When I check the box Show as XML and click 'Generate Audit Report', I receive a popup where 'Authentication Required'. Is this expected behavior?
Here's why I ask….
In DEV, TEST, and PrePROD, the behavior is the same if less than 3 days are selected and Show as XML is checked. Anything after 3 days, receive the infamous timeout message.
My question is… was this new Audit feature thoroughly tested? We are trying to determine if this new feature is stable or will it cause the users to create BUGS for inconsistent behavior.

Day 3 - Dotting Tool6:00:00 PM
Welcome to Day 3 of the SNAARKM Challenge! Are you enjoying it so far as much as I am???
Today is the Dotting Tool manicure. I have been practicing tons with my dotting tool just for this very day! Okay, not really, but I have been practicing. I have done flowers, I have done random dots, polka dots, you name it.
Today, I decided to build on a technique I did when using the dotting tool for my Rubber Ducky Manicure. Remember the lovely marbleized dots? Well, the thought came to my head to use this technique to create lilacs on my fingers.
Here is what I came up with....
Colors Used:
- Base
- Color Club - The Unknown Sky Blue Polish
- Lilacs
- Sinful Colors - Amythest
- Sinful Colors - Verbena
- Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
- Revlon - Charming
- Leaves/Branches
- Revlon - Sassy
- Sinful Colors - Nirvana
The marbling technique is awesome. You dab the colors on a paper plate which you want to marble. Then with your dotting tool, you dunk the tool in each of the polish, then onto the nail! After I had the lilacs, I added the details of the leaves and branches.
Easy, fun, cute, and Springy.
Bet the other challenge ladies did something simpler with more dots :)
- Stephanie - Sincerely Stephanie
- Nicole - My Nails. My Polish.
- Ave - Polish Pixelle
- Amanda -Fashion Footing
- Ryan - Dream a Little Dream of Polish
- Kristen - In the Name of Polish
- Megan -Let There be Lacquer

Tattoo Removal: Before and After
Tattoos can be a beautiful human expression, but as our lives change, tattoo regret may take over. Everyone is unique and so is their tattoo, therefore it's important to customize a plan that fits your individual needs. During your free consultation one of our Registered Nurses will determine the specific elements of your tattoo and devise a treatment plan that ensures you the best results. During your course of treatments in the removal process we will make adjustments according to how your tattoo is responding. Not all tattoos are the same, they have multiple colors and layers therefore successful removal is based on devising a treatment plan that meets your personal needs.

World's Most Tattooed Woman
Julia Gnuse commonly known as The Illustrated Lady, is the world's most tattooed woman. She earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records for the most tattooed woman on Earth.
In her mid 30s, Gnuse developed porphyria, a condition in which sunlight results in blistering of the skin. As the blisters often result in scarring, she began getting tattoos as a way to cover up the scars. She is now removing her tattoos with Dr. Heinrich and PicoSure.
"I've been a long time patient of Dr. Heinrich and when I came to a point in my life where I wanted my facial tattoos removed there was no one else I would consider going to. I am amazed at the difference after just one treatment with PicoSure. No other treatments have been as effective and so fast. I am thrilled with the results and I can't believe I am saying this, but now I want all my tattoos removed!"
