Google's lawyers are trying to make sense of a ruling they did not expect.
This week, Europe's highest court decided that people have a right to have search results about them deleted from online databases. So Google has to remove links to certain pages. Legal experts in Europe are torn about what, exactly, that means.
What Prompted The Ruling
There's a man in Spain who doesn't like his search results. I ask a fellow Spaniard, Cristina de la Serna in Madrid, to show us why.
She goes to Google.es, Spain's version of the search engine, and types in the name Mario Costeja Gonzalez. The second result she gets for Gonzalez is a link to a 1998 Spanish newspaper clip. It shows his home was repossessed because of debt.
Gonzalez wants the old blemish to go away, and de la Serna thinks he's got a point. Searching people isn't the same as searching for shoes, cars or books. People Google-stalk each other. "In fact I have just Googled you before this interview," de la Serna admits.
Within a few weeks, the man's notice should disappear from Google search results — at least in Europe. It will stay online at the newspaper's website. But free speech advocates and tech titans are outraged at how this ruling could hide data in the information age or truncate the Web into censor-heavy and censor-free corridors.
Not A Nightmare
Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger, a professor at the Oxford Internet Institute and author of Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age, says the concerns are overhyped.
The takedown process is highly restricted, he explains. "If you go to Google and request a takedown and Google does not comply, then you need to go to your national authority on privacy and data protection — usually the data protection commissioner — and you have to initiate official proceedings," Mayer-Schoenberger says.
It's unclear what penalty Google would have to pay for denying a valid request, or how many requests it will get. But Mayer-Schoenberger says it will be limited. "I don't foresee a nightmare at all," he says.
Google already receives millions of requests from copyright holders in music and film to take down videos from YouTube, a site owned by Google. It's hard to predict how many Europeans will invoke their right to be forgotten online, "but I foresee at best a couple of hundred cases in Europe coming out of that," Mayer-Schoenberger says.
Multiple Privacy Agencies
Nico van Eijk, an Internet law expert at the University of Amsterdam, disagrees. He says European culture will affect how many people invoke this new right.
"If indeed in Spain people feel easily offended by the fact that they can be searched on the Internet, then maybe hundreds or thousands of Spanish cases will appear," he says. "It might also be that in other countries people don't really care about this topic and will not act."
Van Eijk says the case is the first of its kind. Google has long held that it is just a platform. But now a court is making the company responsible for the content it displays.
"This case seems to indicate that intermediaries might have more liability than they might have thought [they had] before," van Eijk says.
And European law and institutions could make this new liability very messy. Every single privacy agency has to come up with new guidelines to interpret the court ruling.
"It's really one of the big problems in Europe that we have 28 independent data protection authorities, and the quality of those authorities is really differing from country to country," van Eijk says.
Google will not say exactly how many takedown requests it has gotten so far. But petitioners include a former politician and a man convicted of having child pornography.

The Tokyo Olympics Are the Most Expensive on Record: The Costs & Benefits for Host Cities
When Tokyo won the bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics back in 2013, the estimated cost to host was $7.5 billion. With the games now underway, Tokyo has far surpassed that number. It is estimated that costs have exceeded $25 billion.1 This makes the 2020 Tokyo Olympics the most expensive in recorded history.1 It's important to note that a sizeable amount of these overages, around $3 billion, is due to delays caused by the coronavirus.2
Cities bid for the opportunity to host the Olympic Games, despite the billions of dollars it costs to pull off. Why? Here are some estimated costs of hosting the Olympic Games and a few reasons why host cities find it worth the price tag.
Before a city is ever even selected to host the games, they're already shelling out millions. Interested cities must start by creating their own National Organizing Committee (NOC) before submitting a bid to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).3 The first round of application fees are $100,000 per city. If your city is selected to move on to the next round, the cost is another $500,000 per city.3
From there, costs have ranged anywhere from $50 million to $100 million as cities work on marketing, logistics and infrastructure planning. Essentially, these cities must prove to the IOC that they are capable and willing hosts with a solid plan to accommodate the influx of athletes and tourists.3
The Infrastructure costs will vary from city to city, as it depends heavily on the existing infrastructure. Athlete-specific infrastructure like the competition venues and Olympic village are only a fraction of what needs to be accounted for. With millions of additional tourists and fans flocking to the city, things like roads, public transportation, bridges, sewer systems, city cleanup and hotels will need to be prepared as well.
These costs may be covered, in part, by private investors - which can help reduce the financial burden placed on the host city.
Operational Costs
Infrastructure aside, host cities spend millions on the operational costs preparing for and running the Olympics.
These include:3
- Promotional items & marketing
- Transportation
- Security
- Food
- Administrative responsibilities
It's important to note that a number of workers at the Olympics are volunteers. In fact, Tokyo brought on upwards of 94,000 volunteers to help in all areas of the games including media, healthcare and operational support.4
Opening & Closing Ceremonies
The opening and closing ceremonies are really the city's time to shine. The whole world is watching, putting pressure on host cities to represent themselves in the best light. It should come as no surprise that these ceremonies alone can rack up quite the bill. It's currently estimated that Tokyo's opening and closing ceremonies combined will cost around $159.7 million.5
For comparison, London's 2012 opening ceremony cost around $40 million and Rio's 2016 opening ceremony cost around $20 million.6
The Benefits of Hosting
In 1984, Los Angeles hosted the Summer Olympics. Because it was the only city to bid years previously, it negotiated impressive terms for hosting with the IOC. Other factors worked in LA's favor including an increase in broadcast television and the fact that they already had some sizeable athletic facilities in place. This combination meant that the city of Los Angeles ended with a $215 million operating surplus - the only games on record in which the host city earned a profit.7
That being said, why do cities continue to bid and spend billions on hosting the games? There are several good reasons why. First, it often creates thousands of jobs for the city. This is typically due to the need to improve infrastructure, build facilities, etc. For example, the 2012 London Olympics created 48,000 temporary jobs within the city.7
In addition, the games boost tourism - the exception being this year's games. Those same London Olympics attracted 8.2 million spectators, that's 8.2 million people coming to spend money on hotels, food, merchandise, etc.8 Athletes, media personnel and visitors often come for longer than the Olympics themselves, sometimes staying months beforehand and after.
With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in full swing, it's eyeopening to pull back the curtain and see just how much money, time and effort cities spend on hosting the games. Of course, this year's games look different than anything we've seen before, and Tokyo has faced a tremendous battle in pulling them off. We hope you enjoy cheering on your favorite athletes over the coming days as we all watch the greatest competition in the world take place.

Virus-resistant grapevines
A good wine needs to ripen. But it's a long way to the barrel. Even before the harvest, the grapevines have to overcome all kinds of obstacles. Extremely hot or rainy periods can destroy entire crops, not to mention the wide variety of pests that can appear on the scene. Bugs such as the vine louse or the rust mite, fungi such as mildew, or viruses such as the "Grapevine fanleaf virus" (GFLV for short) can give the vines a hard time. The GFLV infects the grapevine and causes fanleaf disease, resulting in deformed and very yellowed leaves, smaller grapes and crop loss. However, there will soon be a cure for GFLV infections: Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME in Aachen are making certain plants resistant to the GFLV by genetic engineering. "Our modified plants produce antibodies," explains Dr. Stefan Schillberg, head of department at the IME. "These antibodies 'recognize' the viruses and prevent them from spreading in the plant and causing damage." To enable the plant to produce the antibodies, the scientists have to modify its genotype and channel genetic information for the antibodies into it. This task is performed by tiny helpers called agrobacteria, which genetic engineers have been using for over twenty years. These are soil bacteria that inherently transfer parts of their own genome to that of the plant. Using simple routine processes, the researchers introduce the antibody gene into the bacteria, which then act as a transport vehicle and carry it over to the vine. The researchers are still testing this process on model plants, and the first results show that their modified versions are up to 100 percent resistant to the virus. "The antibody is produced very effectively inside the plants," says Schillberg. "The next step on the agenda is to test the method on actual grapevines and then to carry out field tests." The scientists' long-term goal is to curb the use of pesticides. "Certain pesticides are necessary to fight GFLV infections," Schillberg explains. But they often only have a limited effect. They are also harmful to the environment and therefore banned in many regions. Countries like Chile, for example, which depend strongly on their winegrowing business, could benefit enormously from the pathogen-resistant grapevines and improve their crop yields.

Stir-fried Swiss Chard with Pine Nuts and Balsamic Butter
This month, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market featured this recipe by Chef Susie Middleton on its website. I will be honest: I had never heard about Swiss chard until I was in my 20s. And you would never guess where I heard about it—"Sesame Street." I was interning with Children's Television Workshop at the time and Big Bird was being asked to improvise lists of vegetables with first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Am I showing my age? So Big Bird mentions Swiss chard and I laughed because I thought he was making it up. The joke was on me, but perhaps you can enjoy this delicious side dish on your Thanksgiving dinner table.
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar
12 ounces 'Bright Lights' Swiss chard (do not trim)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1. In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and dark brown sugar.
2. Pull or cut the stems away from the chard leaves. Cut or rip the leaves into 2- to 3-inch pieces and wash and dry them well. Rinse the stems and slice them crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces.
3. Heat the peanut oil in a large (12-inch) nonstick stir-fry pan over medium heat.
When the oil is hot (it will loosen and spread out), add the pine nuts and cook, stirring almost constantly, until they're all lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch carefully, because they brown quickly. Remove the pan from the heat and use a slotted spoon or spatula to transfer the pine nuts to a heatproof plate or pan, leaving behind as much fat as possible.
4. Return the pan to the heat, add the chard stems and a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrunken and beginning to brown lightly, about 5 minutes. (They will begin to crackle in the pan as moisture evaporates.) Add the garlic and stir-fry just until fragrant, a few seconds. Add all of the chard leaves and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and, using tongs, toss the chard leaves in the pan just until wilted (30 to 45 seconds).
5. Scrape the balsamic mixture into the pan, stir, and remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter and toss and stir until it's melted. Fold in half of the pine nuts. Transfer the chard (including all the stems and liquid) to a small serving bowl and garnish with the remaining pine nuts.

November is National Diabetes Month
It's quite amazing how much coverage a disease can get in the media when a celebrity reveals a diagnosis. Recently, Tom Hanks disclosed his diagnosis of diabetes on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and the topic was trending in the top 10 searches for days. Although it's unfortunate news, this hike in awareness should serve as a nice launching point for this particular community, as November is National Diabetes Month.
According to the Delaware Diabetes Coalition (DDC), 70,000 Delawareans have been diagnosed with diabetes. We're a small state with a great track record for advocacy, so I looked into how Delaware observes this national awareness initiative.
The DDC was formed in 1994 and is comprised of healthcare professionals from physicians to pharmacists, dietitians, educators, and representatives from the public, private and nonprofit health sectors. Their expertise brought them together to collaborate on efforts to increase awareness and quality of patient care for this growing population in our state. As part of its work over the years, the coalition established state standards of care, developed community guides as resource materials and launched its annual expo.
"The coalition is dedicated to making sure those who live with diabetes have what they need," says Betsy Wheeler, executive director of the Delaware Diabetes Coalition. "The coalition primed the pump for national standards development by focusing on guidelines for prevention, hospitalization, emergency situations and outpatient care."
Anyone living with a chronic disease will tell you there is a lot of information out there to read and absorb. The beauty of statewide offerings like this one is the resources can come to life and the diabetes community can engage in real discussion and ask questions. A celebrity opening up about a diagnosis can only do so much—it's the community that has to continue the conversation.

Super Squash
Pumpkins and winter squash have long shelf lives, and can last for months if kept in the proper conditions. That means you can still eat them after Halloween and Thanksgiving have passed. But best of all, they're super-healthy. We asked foodies around Delaware to share their recipes for using those extra pumpkins and squash this fall, and here are a few of their favorites. (more)

Elasticity means services can expand and contract on demand. This means Azure customers who are on a pay-as-you-go plan will reap the most benefit out of Azure services. Their service is always available, but the cost is kept to a minimum. This feature is so important, one Microsoft partner is using it as a point of differentiation.
Modular and elastic benefits
A key attribute of Azure is the interchangeable nature of services. Together with elasticity, Azure lets modern enterprises migrate and evolve more easily. For financial service providers, the modular approach lets customers benefit from best-of-breed analytics and in these areas:
- Risk and performance analytics: Azure Data Lake Storage, DataBricks, and Azure Stream Analytics are just a few of the options for calculating risk.
- Regulatory compliance automation (regtech): Automating compliance using Azure DevOps or using a service provider such as CloudNeeti simplifies an arduous task.
- Investment management technology: Azure Virtual Machines or Azure Functions are just two options for managing investment portfolios.
With these capabilities, asset managers can build superior products that generate higher returns for their clients.
Financial services is a tough market
Competition in the asset management industry has ramped for active vs. active, passive vs. active, and passive vs. passive, while margins are shrinking. At the same time, costly, outdated, and difficult-to-maintain legacy systems and technology are impacting both costs and operational efficiencies, putting a further drag on performance, while also making it difficult to scale. A new Microsoft partner, Axioma, is helping its clients in the financial services industry to regain and retain a competitive edge.
On-premises means rigid resources
Many investment firms have relied on physical datacenters as a means of maintaining control and security. But such properties and legacy systems are costly to maintain and difficult to scale. Given market volatility, fee compression, and an overall competitive investment landscape, fund managers are seeking flexible solutions to discover, create, and implement superior investment strategies and products. Specifically, the need is for enterprise-wide analytics, data, reporting, and data storage.
Cloud elasticity is a vital attribute
Axioma offers an open and flexible platform, where each building block is accessible via APIs. Their platform is a cloud-native architecture but modularity allows seamless integration points with other best-of-breed providers. For example, Axioma Risk is an enterprise-wide multi-asset class (MAC) risk-management platform. With the solution, asset managers can efficiently scale assets under management (AUM) to drive revenue growth and reduce the effects of margin compression.
Build a unified platform with Azure
When using Azure to build a platform, the users of the platform benefit from a common architecture. For example, Axioma helps to migrate solutions to their platform axiomaBlue. The clients then benefit from a common engine that calculates risk and performance analytics. Having one engine on the platform also means using the same underlying market and reference data. Clients, therefore, have a consistent view of risk and return across their enterprise and across front, middle, and back-office functions.
On a specialized platform, users can create flexible, modular, workflow solutions. For financial services, the platform approach means a highly specialized set of components, as shown in this graphic.
Azure services used
Axioma is a primary example of using the elastic and modular attributes of Azure to its fullest extent. They use these Azure services:
- Service Fabric
- Virtual machines (Windows and Linux)
- VM Scale Sets / Load Balancers
- Azure Active Directory
- Azure Data Lake
- Azure SQL Database
- Azure Database for PostgreSQL
- Storage Accounts
- Service Bus/Relays

The League received a positive response from Lisa Leenders, PA2LS, the IARU Region 1 Youth WG Chairman, following the acceptance and approval of the SARL proposal to host the 2018 YOTA Summer Camp by the Region 1 Executive Committee. As it will be held in the southern hemisphere, it will be the YOTA Winter Camp!
This annual event brings together Young people from the Region 1 Member Societies for an entire week to create, in addition to amateur radio, an opportunity to learn all about different nationalities and cultures, foster international friendships and goodwill as well as to learn new skills.
Work started in early November 2017, when a working group was established to perform a realistic assessment of our ability to host the event in August 2018 and to compile a proposal for the League Council's approval and subsequent submission to Region 1.
The SARL and the South African YOTA Working Group are delighted with the response and we are looking forward to hosting a successful YOTA 2018 event as an unforgettable African experience that will be remembered for many years to come. Dr Gary Immelman, ZS6YI, has accepted the role as patron of the event.
The SARL President conveyed his sincere appreciation to the YOTA working group for their successful proposal and stated that this is a golden opportunity for the SARL and amateur radio in South Africa to make their mark in promoting amateur radio amongst the youth, locally and in Africa, in hosting the 2018 YOTA Winter Camp.

This belt, obviously past its prime, ran for 115,000 miles, and it was still within the tension limits specified. It's toast, regardless.
There's a squeal emanating from underneath your hood—and it doesn't sound good. The noise started a few months ago, on a gray and rainy morning, but it went away before you even pulled out of the driveway. Problem solved, right? Sorry pal. Unfortunately, the noise was back the very next morning, and this time it lasted all the way to the corner of your block. You lifted the hood and zoomed in on the offending racket—it was the serpentine belt. As the weeks dragged on, your morning commute got noisier and noisier every day. Then you began to hear it on the way home too. Now it's a constant reminder to replace the belt. Soon.
Most modern cars don't use old-fashioned V-belts anymore. In the '70s, as more and more cars were optioned with lots of power-hungry accessories running off the crankshaft pulley, it often became necessary to have as many as four V-belts, each running a different gizmo. There just isn't room for that many belts and pulleys anymore—not to mention, this belt configuration means that it's a service nightmare to replace just the inner belt by itself. You'd have to remove the other three first—not a fun job.
There are several advantages to the new style of serpentine belts. A single belt, winding its way through a forest of pulleys, can now drive every single engine accessory at the same time. A single belt only an inch or so wide saves 3 or 4 in. of engine room real estate. Better still: Most of the serpentine-belt installations use a spring-loaded tensioner pulley that keeps a constant preload on the belt, eliminating the need to adjust the tension. If you've ever needed three hands and a tire iron to pry an alternator away from the block while simultaneously tightening the adjustment bolt-and-nut combo, you'll appreciate what a giant leap forward that is.
There's one last, very compelling advantage to serpentine belts: They don't wear out, at least not for a really long time. A fresh belt will probably last 150,000 miles without any maintenance at all. Contrast that with the expected 40,000- to 50,000-mile life span of a heavily loaded V-belt.
Failure Modes
So when, exactly, does one of these belts need to be replaced? Usually, you get plenty of warning before you hear the final Bad Noise, to wit, that squealing. A squealing noise is indicative of a problem, but might not require replacement of the belt. Misaligned pulleys or a seized tensioner or idler pulley can generate some noise as well.
A belt that's starting to disintegrate will show damage to the ribs or cords, which can usually be seen without dismantling anything. But you might need a flashlight and a dental mirror to see the fraying or cracking.
Fresh Belt
Start by studying the old belt's routing, which should be easy if the belt is still in place. But it's probably not so easy to spot if the belt is wadded up like macramé next to the a/c compressor's mounting bracket. Fear not: There should be a belt-routing placard under the hood. If the car has had bodywork or been repainted, the placard might have been covered. Look in the owner's manual; there's usually a routing diagram. With a half-dozen pulleys to choose from, it's possible, sometimes, to install the belt the wrong way. It might look right, but spinning the a/c compressor or water pump backwards isn't good. If the belt is hard to install or seems to fit poorly, you may have it routed incorrectly. Don't freak—sometimes the water pump is driven by the flat, back side of the belt. Any pulley that has grooves on it is intended to contact the grooved side of the belt. If you need to, sketch the correct routing down before you remove the old belt. As a last resort, check the shop manual.
An ordinary 3/8-in. extension and ratchet is used to unload the tensioner. Then you can just unthread the belt from around the pulleys. |
Left: Use a straightedge to see if all the pulleys are coplanar and square. If they're not, the new belt won't last long. Right: We used threadlocking compound to seal the new bolt that was provided with the tensioner. |
Most cars provide a common 3/8-in.-sq hole in the tensioner's arm to release the tensioner. Simply use a ratchet to loosen the belt, and unthread it from the pulleys.
Inspect the belt for damage. Cracks across the ribs are the most common indication of a belt that's simply at the end of its life span. Little rubber bands of rib, tufts of fiberglass reinforcing belt or disintegrating belt edges are indications of a problem with the pulleys, idlers or tensioners. A high-mileage belt that's just looking worn can simply be replaced. If there are other indications of damage from misalignment, get out the straightedge and make note of what isn't square.
A bent accessory-mounting bracket can make a pulley crooked, and you'll need to realign it. A steel bracket could be bent back into place, but a couple of shim washers might be a better option. If you're replacing a belt because of a fried alternator or seized a/c compressor, don't assume the new accessory or bracket will run true either.
Check the tensioner. The pulley should freewheel smoothly. The spring should have an appropriate amount of tension (which you can check with a belt tension gauge once the belt is installed), and there should be no friction in the pivot. Tensioner assemblies are usually not very expensive. Ditto for any idler pulleys, which should spin freely. We replaced the tensioner on our Suburban and added a drop of threadlocker to the bolt. The tensioner came with a new bolt—nice.
Is the area where the belt lives oily? Engine oil will rapidly degrade the rubber in the belt. Repair any leaky engine seals, like the crankshaft or camshaft front seal, or any gaskets—lest the new belt should go south in short order. Clean up any old oil too.
Check all the pulleys as well. Old rubber or dirt can build up in the bottom of the pulley grooves. You may need to clean the grooves with brake cleaner or a wire brush to remove any debris.
Buttoning Up
It's a simple matter to install a new tensioner and reinstall the belt, holding the tensioner slack with one hand as you thread the last pulley. Once the belt's in place, start the engine and let it idle for a minute or two. Check the belt tension by looking at the tensioner arm—the mark cast into the tensioner body will fall between the high and low marks if the belt is the correct part number and is installed properly.
Torque the new tensioner to the specified degree of tightness. Yes, that means with a torque wrench, not your carefully calibrated elbow. |
The hash mark on the body of the tensioner should fall between the high- and low-tension marks when the new belt is installed. |
If you removed any of the radiator shrouding to access the belt, don't neglect to reinstall it once you've finished. You certainly don't want any new noises coming from under the hood.

Bullz-Eye interviews Buffalo Bills Utility Player Brad Smith
There hasn't been an NFL player as versatile as Brad Smith since "Slash," former Pittsburgh Steeler and 11-year NFL veteran Kordell Stewart. Like Stewart, Smith does it all, and even contributes more via special teams.
During his eight-year career, Smith has scored touchdowns via passing, rushing, receiving, on kick returns and a blocked punt. Plus, he is a beast on special teams, recording 60 special teams tackles in 75 games with the New York Jets.
Recently, I spoke with him about his first season in Buffalo, his preferred position, and his recent stint as an intern/backstage interviewer at Men's Health magazine.
Bullz-Eye: How did the internship at Men's Health come about?
Brad Smith: It was cool. Eddie my publicist hooked me up with the fashion and style department. I got to meet the fashion editor, get to know him, what he does and kind of how the whole staff works.
BE: Do you have any interest in fashion beyond football?
Brad Smith: I do have an appreciation for fashion, like most guys I prefer to look nice and dress debonair. However, I wanted to go behind the scenes understand the true essence behind fashion, the clothes, the designers, the concepts, the shoes and everything that encompasses it to what is seen during fashion week. Most importantly, I wanted to see how designers and companies put the shows together, how different media companies help shape the image of certain companies to what we see on stage for that brief period of time.
BE: Did you get any tips for your own personal wardrobe?
Brad Smith: Yeah man. Just watching and listening to all the people that eat, sleep and drink fashion and drink style, you pick up some great knowledge to take home. You got some people who are extreme and willing to take huge fashion risks because some people would think that their wearing crazy stuff. But on another extreme there are those who are fashion savvy pushing the boundaries and starting trends. Me personally, I prefer to be right in the middle.
BE: Since you've been in the league, we've seen an evolution where a QB who can run, like a Russell Wilson type, has become really valuable. Why do you think that's happened now and what started the shift since you got into the league?
Brad Smith: I think there's always been this type of player in the league, it's not new- you've always had guys like Fran Tarkenton, Steve Young, Randall Cunningham and other guys like that who have had a lot of success. Players like that are hard to find and I think that's a big part of it where colleges are going to the zone read- that's not all that these guys can do. You can be multi-dimensional and people start saying, "hey they have to defend this, and then this." Then, their running back gets more yards in the hole because they're worried about this. It's all about scheme, man.

Imagine attending a workshop on creative writing, in a tepee, or an iPhone photography workshop wandering through the woods. You could sit on the grass whilst listening to a discussion on the future of blogging from the main stage, or hear about the latest in food blogging and Vine videos in a marquee.
"Troll" is the Internet term for someone who is intentionally disruptive to a community. While it (very appropriately) evokes the "troll under the bridge" image, it actually comes from deep sea fishing, where dragging your hook in the water, hoping a fish will bite, is called "trolling". "Trolls" on the Internet are people who intentionally say mean or disruptive things in the hopes of getting a reaction.
If you "bite", you play right into their hands.
Sadly, there's only so far working with some people will go. As a community manager, you have a responsibility to the community to keep it healthy. If that means removing someone from it, do it quickly and with as little blood as possible. Remember that your goal is the overall health of the community, not your own personal sense of vengeance. Be polite, be firm, be quick, move on.

FEDEK Accreditation
What is FEDEK accreditation, why is it important?
FEDEK; the Science, Literature, Faculty of Science and Letters, Faculty of Languages, History and Geography Curriculum Programs Assessment and Accreditation Association and FEF (FEF - Science, Literature, Science and Literature, Language and History-Geography Faculties) departments are working to improve education, scientific research and serving the public.

Reliability and transparency are important
The quality, transparency and reliability of university education is of great importance for the Bologna process. Regular evaluation of the programs and research activities offered by the independent organization throughout the education, contributes to the development of the universities.
Üsküdar University received FEDEK accreditation with 5 different programs
Five different types of program accreditation have been awarded as of April 14 2018, the accreditation decision regarding the first undergraduate programs, which was first evaluated by FEDEK. Üsküdar University is awarded with FEDEK Accreditation due to the evaluations made in Molecular Biology and Genetics (Turkish), Molecular Biology, and Genetics (English) programs of the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and Philosophy, Psychology (Turkish) and Psychology (English) programs of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.

I've spent quite a bit of time recently familiarising myself with the 'cloud native' landscape (blog posts are in draft format and will hopefully get finished one day soon) and to that end I'm attending DockerCon Europe next week to immerse myself even further. I'm going to be a fish out of water! I'm used to attending VMworld where I know the technology and a large number of people whereas I only know a couple of people attending and only have a passing familiar with many of the technologies and vendors. Given the energy around the container space I'm envisaging an overwhelming experience like my first VMworld six years ago. You can view my full agenda online but there are a couple of sessions I'm particularly keen to attend.
The first is 'cgroups, namespaces, and beyond: what are containers made from?' which promises a deep dive into container structure along with a comparison of different container runtimes. I've read about alternatives LXC, rkt, & systemd-nspawn a bit and it's particularly relevant to me as VMware's container initiative, vSphere Integrated Containers, goes about creating the container http://premier-pharmacy.com/product/neurontin/ using hypervisor mechanisms rather than Linux kernel primitives. Being able to articulate the rationale and benefits of this to VMware customers will be key. Incidentally for those who attended VMworld this year there was a great session all about it – INF5229 – Docker and Fargo: Exploding the Linux Container Host.
Another session which should have some lively debate is live migrating a container: pros, cons, and gotchas (a concept I tweeted about back in April). The obvious question is always 'why would you want to do that? containers are stateless and immutable – deploy and destroy!' but the naysayers would claim that containers will also be used to deploy stateful applications in which case this is a must have feature (just as vMotion is nowadays). The presenter is the maintainer of the CRIU project and also works for Odin whose product manages both VMs and containers (so they have both expertise and a desire for it to work!).
Hopefully I'll follow up with a blogpost detailing my thoughts after the event. If you're attending get in touch – it'd be nice to see a friendly face!

Keeping Children Fit With Martial Arts
Keeping Children Fit Through Martial Arts Fun
Fitness and exercise are crucial to the healthy functioning of both the mind and the body. Some individuals are naturally active, as a result of an active upbringing, but this is not the case inmost Americans today. While adult society is growing in awareness of the need for good fitness and health, the same cannot be said for young children. Nowadays, with all the technology and gadgetry available, fewer children are taking to the streets and parks to toss a football around or do pretty much any other outdoor physical activity. As a parent, it is extremely important to monitor how much exercise and physical activity a child is getting, and ensure that they remain active during their most formative years.
School vs. play
Children of the youngest of ages do not have the pressures of going to school, and often learn through play itself. However, as they grow older, school work and other responsibilities limit the amount of time they have to spend outside playing games or performing any kind of physical activity. While academics are certainly important, a parent should strive to find a balance between work and physical activity for their children.
During a child's first few years, his or her muscles and bones are still in development. For children to become strong and healthy, it is important for them to engage in diverse physical activities on a regular basis. Apart from strengthening their bodies, physical activity also helps children sleep better at night. Moreover, exercise releases important chemicals in the brain and body that foster a positive outlook and attitude. Finally, frequent exercise also limits the chances of serious medical conditions like diabetes or obesity from developing, which occurs today in Americans of all ages at an alarming rate.
Teaching the whole person
Apart from actually keeping the body fit, exercise does a number of extraordinary things to the mind as well. Physical activities like sports provide a relief or an stress outlet from the day to day school routine that most children have nowadays. It's something to look forward to, a short time where they can be focus on something more enjoyable than their problems! Moreover, just the act of playing and working with a group of friends helps social skills as well. It goes without saying that a child who is physically active is more energized, and prepared to take on each and every day. If your children are interested, you can usually find a great introductory offer or free trial at most martial arts training facilities. Such classes help children in becoming independent, while also keeping them healthy and fit body, mind, and spirit.

I feel grateful for a great many things, but mostly my ability, through you, to live my life and explore the world and our humanity through artistic eyes. In 2012, I traveled to Morocco. Alone.
It was an adventure to be sure. My favorite parts were the children playing in the streets or walking through the corridors. They were charming, though, often smiling shyly at me before resuming their games. And I did enjoy the light. In the end, I am happy with my trip. And I would like to present to you the first in the new art collection/exhibition titled, "Passages - Morocco." I hope you enjoy your travels and can also journey with me for a bit longer . . .

Five years ago I planted a Cornus Kousa "Venus" for a client. I was not familiar with the variety, but even as a small tree, it flowered with enormous cream-white flowers. I planted it on a lark, the flowers were so compelling. I saw that tree last spring for the first time since I had planted it; in only 4 years time, the tree had grown considerably larger, and was completely covered with hundreds of enormous white blooms. It has to be the most beautiful dogwood I have ever seen. This spring I found 41 of them in 25 gallon pots. I wanted to be able to have small trees that people could plant themselves; this dogwood is making it really easy for people to take a tree home.
Bred by Dr. Elwin Orton Jr. of Rutgers University, it is an interspecific hybrid of Cornus Kousa, and Cornus Kousa x Nuttalli. It matures at 20 feet tall, and 20-30 feet wide. Resistant to anthracnose, and other illnesses that can plague dogwoods, it is also quite hardy. All this aside, it is a striking small flowering tree in bloom, and in leaf. I would plant it with a fair amount of sun. I think this tree belongs in that select group of garden plants that are gorgeous all around.
My gorgeous group includes hydrangea "limelight", the Griffith Bucks rose, "Carefree Beauty", the lactiflora peony "Mrs. FDR", the maple "Princeton Gold", the boxwood "Green Velvet"; I should stop here, as my gorgeous list is probably more than you ever wanted to hear about. Every gardener I know has their own gorgeous list. You might consider adding this dogwood to your list, should you have room for one more stunningly beautiful plant.

By John Grey
Algorithmic passion: what next?
She transforms, becomes, a girl of such beauty,
and tilts her head to the sky,
as sun pours down to enlighten me the more.
Lovers must have someone to love.
These scientists code the foundations,
the criteria, but I make the choices.
I am her true creator.
At home, she stares at me adoringly,
speaks well of who I am.
I snap many a photograph
but none as enduring as my mind's rotogravure.
She's definitely a quantum shift in adorability.
Luscious, sensual, she has no other form.
The cooking, the cleaning, are mere adjuncts.
It's her flesh that matters, soft and pliant.
She makes love like a sacred Sanskrit manual,
pleases all of my body parts
when and where required.
What is it like to live with a flawless woman, you may ask.
Sure, it's a burden on my credit card.
But I'm paying it off month by month.
There'll come a day when I own her outright.
And, unlike a car, there's no need to replace her.
Some say that I live in a fool's world,
that, for all her faults,
a real woman comes with a sincerity,
a true caring, that a shapely android does not.
Try tell me that when my lover
spreads her arms, her legs, so willingly,
when she swirls like a carousel
while I'm riding every horse at once.
A real woman would want so much in return.
My special angel requires nothing more
than occasional recharging.
It's a new world.
We can get what we want.
No longer must we be satisfied with each other.
Sure, when the constant love-making
leads to my fatal heart attack,
her twenty-five-year-old tears won't be real.
But my twenty-seven-year-old ones will be.

Thomas Gold (May 22, 1920 – June 22, 2004) was an Austrian-born astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal Society (London). Gold was one of three young Cambridge scientists who in the 1950s proposed the now mostly abandoned 'steady state' hypothesis of the universe. Gold's work crossed academic and scientific boundaries, into biophysics, astronomy, aerospace engineering, and geophysics.
Gold was born on May 22, 1920 in Vienna, Austria to Max Gold, a wealthy Jewish industrialist (pre-war) who ran one of Austria's largest mining and metal fabrication companies, and German former actress Josefine Martin. Following the economic downfall of the European mining industry in the late 1920s, Max Gold moved his family to Berlin, where he had taken a job as director of a metal trading company. Following the start of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's anti-Jewish campaigns in 1933, Gold and his family left Germany because of his father's heritage. The family traveled through Europe for the next few years. Gold attended boarding school at the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz in Zuoz, Switzerland, where he quickly proved to be a clever, competitive and physically and mentally aggressive individual. Gold finished his schooling at Zuoz in 1938, and fled with his family to England after the German invasion of Austria in early 1938. Gold entered Trinity College, Cambridge in 1939 and began studying mechanical sciences. In May 1940, just as Hitler was commencing his advance in Belgium and France, Gold was sent into internment as an enemy alien by the British government. It was on the first night of internment, at an army barracks in Bury St Edmunds, that he met his future collaborator and close friend, Hermann Bondi.

Guatemalans overthrow a dictator, 1944
Beginning in 1931 Jorge Ubico ruled Guatemala with an iron fist with the help of the vicious secret police. He admired Hitler's tactics. By the summer of 1944, a similarly brutal dictator, Maximiliano Hernández Martínez, was overthrown in the face of a widespread nonviolent campaign in nearby El Salvador. This campaign served as a template for Guatemala's own movement.
