1 How to give a good research talk Simon Peyton Jones Microsoft Research, Cambridge 1993 paper joint with John Hughes (Chalmers), John Launchbury (Oregon Graduate Institute)
2 Research is communication The greatest ideas are worthless if you keep them to yourself Your papers and talks Crystalise your ideas Communicate them to others Get feedback Build relationships (And garner research brownie points)
3 Do it! Do it! Do it! Good papers and talks are a fundamental part of research excellence Invest time Learn skills Practice Write a paper, and give a talk, about any idea, no matter how weedy and insignificant it may seem to you
4 Giving a good talk This presentation is about how to give a good research talk What your talk is for What to put in it (and what not to) How to present it
5 What your talk is for Your paper = The beef Your talk = The beef advertisment Do not confuse the two
6 The purpose of your talk..is not: To impress your audience with your brainpower To tell them all you know about your topic To present all the technical details
7 The purpose of your talk..but is: To give your audience an intuitive feel for your idea To make them foam at the mouth with eagerness to read your paper To engage, excite, provoke them
8 Your audience The audience you would like Have read all your earlier papers Thoroughly understand all the relevant theory of cartesian closed endomorphic bifunctors Are all agog to hear about the latest developments in your work Are fresh, alert, and ready for action
9 Your actual audience The audience you get Have never heard of you Have heard of bifunctors, but wish they hadn t Have just had lunch and are ready for a doze Your mission is to WAKE THEM UP And make them glad they did
10 What to put in
11 What to put in 1. Motivation (20%) 2. Your key idea (80%) 3. There is no 3
12 Motivation You have 2 minutes to engage your audience before they start to doze Why should I tune into this talk? What is the problem? Why is it an interesting problem? Example: Java class files are large (brief figures), and get sent over the network. Can we use language-aware compression to shrink them? Example: synchronisation errors in concurrent programs are a nightmare to find. I m going to show you a type system that finds many such errors at compile time.
13 Your key idea If the audience remembers only one thing from your talk, what should it be? You must identify a key idea. What I did this summer is No Good. Be specific. Don t leave your audience to figure it out for themselves. Be absolutely specific. Say If you remember nothing else, remember this. Organise your talk around this specific goal. Ruthlessly prune material that is irrelevant to this goal.
14 Narrow, deep beats wide, shallow No Yes Avoid shallow overviews at all costs Cut to the chase: the technical meat
15 Your main weapon Examples are your main weapon To motivate the work To convey the basic intuition To illustrate The Idea in action To show extreme cases To highlight shortcomings When time is short, omit the general case, not the example
16 Exceptions in Haskell? Exceptions are to do with control flow There is no control flow in a lazy functional program Solution 1: use data values to carry exceptions data Maybe a = Nothing Just a lookup :: Name -> Dictionary -> Maybe Address Often this is Just The Right Thing [Spivey 1990, Wadler list of successes ]
17 What to leave out
18 Outline of my talk Background The FLUGOL system Shortcomings of FLUGOL Overview of synthetic epimorphisms π-reducible decidability of the pseudo-curried fragment under the Snezkovwski invariant in FLUGOL Benchmark results Related work Conclusions and further work
19 No outline! Outline of my talk : conveys near zero information at the start of your talk But maybe put up an outline for orientation after your motivation and signposts at pause points during the talk
20 Related work [PMW83] [SPZ88] [PN93] [BXX98] [XXB99] The seminal paper First use of epimorphisms Application of epimorphisms to wibblification Lacks full abstraction Only runs on Sparc, no integration with GUI
21 Do not present related work But You absolutely must know the related work; respond readily to questions Acknowledge co-authors (title slide), and pre-cursors (as you go along) Do not disparage the opposition X s very interesting work does Y; I have extended it to do Z
22 Technical detail
23 Omit technical details Even though every line is drenched in your blood and sweat, dense clouds of notation will send your audience to sleep Present specific aspects only; refer to the paper for the details By all means have backup slides to use in response to questions
24 Do not apologise I didn t have time to prepare this talk properly My computer broke down, so I don t have the results I expected I don t have time to tell you about this I don t feel qualified to address this audience
25 Presenting your talk
26 Write your slides the night before ( or at least, polish it then) Your talk absolutely must be fresh in your mind Ideas will occur to you during the conference, as you obsess on your talk during other people s presentations Do not use typeset slides, unless you have a laptop too Handwritten slides are fine Use permanent ink Get an eraser: toothpaste does not work
27 How to present your talk By far the most important thing is to be enthusiastic
28 Enthusiasm If you do not seem excited by your idea, why should the audience be? It wakes em up Enthusiasm makes people dramatically more receptive It gets you loosened up, breathing, moving around
29 The jelly effect If you are anything like me, you will experience apparentlysevere pre-talk symptoms Inability to breathe Inability to stand up (legs give way) Inability to operate brain
30 What to do about it Deep breathing during previous talk Script your first few sentences precisely (=> no brain required) Move around a lot, use large gestures, wave your arms, stand on chairs Go to the loo first You are not a wimp. Everyone feels this way.
31 Being seen, being heard Point at the screen, not at the overhead projector Speak to someone at the back of the room, even if you have a microphone on Make eye contact; identify a nodder, and speak to him or her (better still, more than one) Watch audience for questions
32 Questions Questions are not a problem Questions are a golden golden golden opportunity to connect with your audience Specifically encourage questions during your talk: pause briefly now and then, ask for questions Be prepared to truncate your talk if you run out of time. Better to connect, and not to present all your material
33 Presenting your slides A very annoying technique is to reveal your points one by one by one, unless there is a punch line
34 Presenting your slides Use animation effects very very very very very very very sparingly
35 Finishing Absolutely without fail, finish on time Audiences get restive and essentially stop listening when your time is up. Continuing is very counter productive Simply truncate and conclude Do not say would you like me to go on? (it s hard to say no thanks )
36 There is hope The general standard is so low that you don t have to be outstanding to stand out You will attend 50x as many talks as you give. Watch other people s talks intelligently, and pick up ideas for what to do and what to avoid.

Comments about AutoCraft 36mm Axle Nut Socket 12PT:
Good quality socket to remove 36mm CV axle nuts. Use an impact gun since the factory torque is approximately 150 pounds. Since the axle nut is 6-sided, I would prefer a 6-point socket, due to the amount of torque that must be applied. This socket is a 12-point, was a loose fit, and could potentially strip the nut head due to the torque required.
Do you have questions about this product?
Ask a question, get answers from real customers and in-house experts. For further assistance, please review your support options on our Contact Us page.
Q:Is this socket 1/2" or 3/4" drive? Is it impact rated?

Get it, if so, netcf does a right work. Thanks for this explanation.
I pointed this out to Doug at the time he added the udev driver, and he acknowledged the problem but couldn't think of a simple way to eliminate it, and it didn't seem serious enough to delay adding in the driver. -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list

delusions of grandeur replied to keggerz's topic in Food and BeverageA growler? I know I'm late to the party, but I hope you didn't do it. Growlers are meant to be kept refrigerated. I'm not sure what a 1-2+ day trek across the country did it. At best it probably came flat. ETA: Though at this time of year, it might have stayed cold enough, but that's chancing it.
delusions of grandeur replied to irish's topic in Fantasy FootballThe Bucs actually have filled a lot more needs in FA than people realize. Could still use help at CB, WR (especially if the character concerns about Mike Williams put him on the outs) and with the pass rush too, but guard is as much of a need as anywhere, and they land the second-rated one. Especially if Carl Nicks isn't back completely healthy, a pro-ready guard like Su'a-Filo would be helpful. Guy seems to be a natural at the position.

delusions of grandeur replied to irish's topic in Fantasy FootballMorgan Moses is a popular pick on the Falcons boards, and with good reason. He checks off everything on our wishlist: he's played both tackle positions, he's big, strong, has long arms, and has upside while probably not being any worse than what's at RT now. Biggest knocks seem to be technique and conditioning. Also, I can pretty much guarantee the Falcons take a tackle with the top two picks (assuming they stay put and don't trade down or up). Only way they wouldn't is if Clinton-Dix or Pryor somehow fell at safety. Would be really stoked to get out of the first two rounds with Mack and Moses. Would fill the two biggest needs remaining.

delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballWell, I take back part of what I said above, and it does change my opinion a little after seeing that the guy did accept and think it was a real offer: @roddywhiteTV I'll take that offer! But ya can't take it back if it does happen! Wouldn't mind seeing the games live! #Riseup I was under the impression that he didn't really expect it to be a real offer (though he does say that after the fact, that he realizes now that he wasn't serious). But after the confusion thinking he was a Bears fan, and him offering that instead, the guy is more than fine with the results. Doesn't a person have to feel welched for the other party to be a welcher? They settled up with Bears tickets for a guy doing nothing but predicting an upset by his homer team on twitter. BFD if it isn't a big deal to them. That's what I still have issue with, that people are acting like it's their place to not be satisfied with how they chose to resolve it, when it has nothing to do with them. BTW, the guy did get his season tickets from some website looking to capitalize on the faux-contreversy, so no one's being slighted anymore. Congrats, now maybe Roddy will learn a lesson, and everyone else can learn a lesson to not take seriously everything that's said on Twitter.
delusions of grandeur replied to irish's topic in Fantasy FootballLewan is a great pick. I have him pegged as one of the guys I'd love to grab if the Falcons trade down. Landing him at 17 is awesome, Matthews falling to #13 was just absurd. Not surprising OL gets overlooked in a mock draft for more fun picks, but no way that happens in real life. Lewan probably gone by Ravens pick too, unless GMs really love this deep OT class that much.
delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballThe point is that, if someone says something on twitter, it might be wise to confirm if they're serious before declaring in hindsight that he was as you make demands about it. (ETA: Yes, it would have also been wise of Roddy to not make statements like this unless he was serious, but being guilty of hyperbole is far different than the welcher accusations being levied here.)
delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballBut, but, he said it on the internet, he must be super serial!! Twitter is serious business!!
delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballThat was in response to a guy saying Mercer was going to beat them, it's not like he just up and offered some tickets. This is why I think it was just hyperbole. Not much different than one guy saying, "I think the unthinkable is going to happen", and the response, "No way, I'd bet a million dollars it won't". The difference here is Roddy does have the resources to make good on it, but it was such an extorbitant statement, that one should not expect he's being serious without even getting confirmation. In no other situation would you not confirm a " bet" of that magnitude, and then demand later they make good on something they said that you didn't even confirm was serious.... But hey it's in writing on twitter and has the money, so let's stick it to him on any hyperbole he might say. But okay let's say you're right and just becasue he's rich he's forced to pay up on any stupid thing he says to strangers on twitter, but I don't understand why people continue to say he's welching. They settled the bet in a way that satisfied both of them (and if you were in Roddy's shoes thinking you were handing over thousands of dollars of Falcons tickets to a Bears fan who wasn't going to use them, you'd probably opt to just offer him Bears tickets too). If the circumstsances were different and the guy was pissed and rejected that offer, then maybe the right thing to do is to give him season tickets, but this DEMAND that he MUST make good by people who aren't even involved, it sounds more like celebrity hate going on here than Falcons homerism.
delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballAre the celebrity haters really equating Roddy running his mouth on twitter with actual mutual bets, and comparing it to a parent offering their kids motivation? I can equate those becuase they're all clear hyperbole, meaning "that's not gonna happen"... All the counter-examples are nothing but massive leaps in logic.
delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballI'll take those goggles over those that seem to have such resentment about these guys being paid handsomely for their marketable talents, that they feel it's their duty to demand they pay up for any hyperbolic statement they make on twitter, even when the person involved isn't even asking for it.
delusions of grandeur replied to Shorttynaz's topic in Fantasy FootballThat one was an even lamer contreversy. He said, "I'd put my next year's salary on it", he didn't say he actually was. Plus it would also imply that he was expecting the same amount back should he be right. I'm quite sure the fan wouldn't have made good on it, not even a dime if it turned out the other way. He would have said the same thing. No wonder everything has to be spelled out with pages of fine print nowadays, when the lawyers and jackals come pouncing if you're even guilty of hyperbole on twitter.

Everyone knows how much Jon Stewart absolutely loathes American cable news because, well, the channels deserve it.
However, this week, Stewart was appalled when he found out that there is another country with far worse news anchors and commentators than in the United States.
The damning revelation emerged when "The Daily Show" sent correspondent Jason Jones to India to have a look at the media making headlines for "insane" coverage during the country's general election – a mammoth exercise that started on April 7 and concluded on May 12.
Even worse, Jones found out, was the state of the Indian print media. So Jones took it upon himself to save the Indian people from the path they were on. Subsequently, he decided to meet with one network's "biggest news douche."
Enter Rajdeep Sardesai, editor-in-chief of IBN18 network, which includes CNN-IBN.
While the conversation with Sardesai revealed unbelievable facts about Indian media, the real shocker came when Jones met a local journalist who took money to write a completely false story on him that ended up on page two of her employer's newspaper.
Take a look at the video above to see how "The Daily Show" correspondent exposed the failings of the Indian media. Skip ahead to 5:05 to get right to the segment.

Some have said that Israeli dance can't be folk dancing because it's choreographed, but while in many countries traditional dancing can now only be found when performed by dance troupes, in Israel you can dance Israeli dancing any night of the week in any part of the country, and in summer on the beach or in the city square:
In fact, you can probably find groups of israeli dancers to join almost anywhere in the world:

Green Chile-Turkey Soup with Hominy Recipe
This Tex-Mex soup packs a punch of flavor in each bowlful. The next time you're looking for the perfect chicken noodle soup, try this instead. It's full of Tex-Mex flavor that we know you'll love. Start the meal off with chips, salsa, and our Easy Guacamole. If you're looking to get even more festive, add a bath of tasty margaritas to the menu. Just before serving, stir in cilantro, and lime juice for a dose of extra fresh flavor. We love topping each serving of soup with thinly sliced radishes for a little crunch. If you don't have roasted turkey on hand, feel free to sub in a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead. Soups make great freezer meals. This recipe serves eight so, rather than letting it go to waste or halving the recipe, make up a full batch and freeze in zip-top plastic freezer bags whatever your family does not eat. Pull out of the freezer and reheat on low before serving.

Charlotte (N.C.) Independence offensive lineman Pierre Andrews has taken in three camps this summer. The prospect visited South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia in the last couple of weeks. What were his impressions of each school?
"I had a lot of fun down at South Carolina. It was a good experience and I got to know the coaches and showcase my skills. They talked a lot about the academics and how they run things," he said. "Tennessee was really good too. I talked to coach Fulmer and he told me that he likes how I come off the ball and play. He used to be an offensive line coach which is also good. The way he was talking to me, it sounded like he wanted to offer. I also got a chance to talk to the academic advisor and they explained that they try to get all their players to graduate within three years of playing there.
"Virginia was okay but it wasn't as much as I expected it to be. During practice they kind of singled us out and worked us with the coach one-on-one, it was nothing special and didn't compare to Tennessee and South Carolina."
Andrews is looking at heading to a couple more schools in the ACC in the next few weeks including a camp at Virginia Tech and an unofficial visit to Clemson.
"I'm hoping Virginia Tech offers one-on-one drills so that I can showcase my agility," he said. "I'm also hoping both schools take time to talk about academics and the African American graduation rates."
The lineman is still wide open, but he is considering LSU, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia and Georgia Tech. What does he like about the Georgia schools?
"I've always wanted to go to a Georgia school, although Georgia didn't call me during May so I didn't go to their camp," he said. "I've talked to the recruiting coach at Georgia Tech though and they let me know about the school and I still get mail from them."
Andrews is focusing much of his time on his senior season, but mentioned he probably won't make a decision until after the season.
"I'm just getting myself ready for the season because I'm focusing on winning the state championship this year."
Andrews was named first team all-state as a junior.

Washington (UPI) Nov 6, 2013
Reusing greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from industrial plants to create new products is on the verge of becoming a commercial reality, a U.S. journal reports.
Several large chemical companies in Germany and small start-ups in the United States are leading the way in finding new uses for CO2 created by manufacturing, rather than emitting it into the atmosphere where it increases global warming, an article in Chemical & Engineering News said.
Working with an infusion of cash from the German government encouraging academic-industrial collaborations, chemical giants including BASF and Bayer are expected to roll out new processes to use waste CO2 to make plastics, additives, fuels and other materials in an energy-efficient and cost-effective way, the article reported.
Several U.S. start-up companies are following the same path, including LanzaTech in Illinois, which is developing a process to convert CO2 back into useful chemicals such as acetic acid, an important substance used in industrial processes.
A Massachusetts company, Novomer, is reported planning to offer a CO2-based raw material for plastics as early as next year.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Tubby Smith walks by the banners every day at Memorial Coliseum to get to his office. He sees them when he's conducting practice on the court.
They hang from the rafters as a constant reminder that the SEC title does mean something here. The Wildcats are expected to win it on the way toward another annual goal -- the Final Four.
They don't hang NCAA first or second-round appearance banners in Rupp Arena. They hang only Final Four and championship banners.
This is Kentucky.
"You see the 42 SEC championship banners at Memorial Coliseum and the pressure to win that conference championship is here every day," Smith said Friday on the eve of hosting Mississippi State Saturday night. "It's embedded. It's in writing. It's in the locker room."
That's why Smith had to remind his team after losing to South Carolina last Tuesday in Columbia that they weren't focused enough. He reinstituted a 6 a.m. shooting practice Thursday for the first time since December to ensure the freshmen understood that the Wildcats expect to play deep into March and early April. He wanted to make sure they understood the work ethic needed to be checked as they hit the stretch run.
One loss was all it took to get their attention. Kentucky dispatched Mississippi State 94-78 Saturday night to climb to 20-3 overall, 11-1 in the SEC, setting up a potential showdown for the overall SEC regular-season title when the Wildcats go to Alabama (10-2 in the SEC East) next Saturday. Kentucky hosts Auburn first and the Tide go to LSU before the showdown.
Regardless of the outcome in Baton Rouge, expect the Tide to be as pumped to play Kentucky as any game this season.
"When you're the hunted, it's like being the King of the Mountain when you're a kid and you have to take on all comers," Smith said. "If you like being up there, you have to fight, claw and scratch to maintain your level or position in the hierarchy. That's what happens to Kentucky wherever we go."
Smith compared Kentucky to being the Yankees where everyone wants to knock them off. He understands the venom toward the Wildcats. Prior to his stint in Lexington, he thought, "they got every call." But now that he's here he realizes "how tough it is to compete with the same level of intensity."
The pressure of being the team to beat every night can be draining, although the Wildcats seemed to relish it Saturday night against the Bulldogs.
"You do feel above everybody else at times but they come at you and it's always like David and Goliath and sometimes I don't like being Goliath," Kentucky senior Chuck Hayes said.
But Hayes has seen the intimidation of the Big Blue Nation work wonders on opponents, even before tipoff.
"We've won some games before it's even started because we have Kentucky on our chest, and because of the tradition, and the loyal fans we bring to the game," Hayes said.
Mississippi State wasn't intimidated in the first half, drawing to within three at the break. But the Bulldogs were over run in the second, watching Kentucky go out to a 10-0 run to start the second half. They couldn't recover and got rolled the rest of the game.
The Wildcats were a selfless team dishing out 19 assists on 33 field goals, scoring 29 points off turnovers as well as converting 14-fast-break points. Freshman point guard Rajon Rondo was sensational with eight steals, two assists, no turnovers and 11 points in 20 minutes.
"He's got a mature basketball IQ, he anticipates the ball real well," Smith said of Rondo. "He's phenomenal and can really turn the heat up defensively."
Freshman center Randolph Morris scored 17 points and grabbed six boards in 19 minutes, putting on the kind of performance that was, perhaps, unfairly expected of the hyped center.
"Randolph set the tone for us in the first half," Hayes said of Morris' 12 first-half points. "He demanded the ball. The second half was myself [10 of 12 points in the second half], Patrick Sparks [11 of 14 in the second half] and Rondo."
The Wildcats' focus was an about-face from the previous week after a squeaker over Georgia by nine and then the 11-point loss in South Carolina.
So, which Kentucky team will move forward?
Well, Hayes said the Wildcats played with a purpose, a sense of urgency and intensity. That has to translate on the road at Alabama and Florida and in Atlanta in the SEC tournament and into the NCAA Tournament.
Can it? Sure. The Wildcats relish this role of being the hunted. They just have to be reminded every once in a while.
"It was an effective loss," Kentucky's Ravi Moss said of the South Carolina game. "It got our attention and told us we had to be more serious on the basketball court."
Remember, there are banners to hang, but only championship ones.

Jakarta. Despite international calls to abandon the death penalty altogether, the government went ahead with the third round of executions at the notorious Nusakambangan prison island, Central Java, early Friday (29/07).
The executions commenced slightly after midnight, after postponed by falling tents due to heavy rain and strong wind.
"[The executions] was at 00.45 a.m.," said an unnamed source as quoted by Antara.
However, the number of executed inmates was not revealed, as authorities have yet to announce an official statement.
Family members of the inmates were also not notified on the time of the executions.
Previously, Attornery General H.M. Prasetyo had mentioned that 14 death row inmates – all of whom drug traffickers – were part of the third round of executions.
Four Indonesian citizens have been included in the list: Freddy Budiman, Merri Utami, Pujo Lestari and Agus Hadi.
Meanwhile, the remaining are foreign nationals from Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali; an Indian national named Gurdip Singh; Nigerians Onkonkwo Nonso Kingsley, Obina Nwajagu, Humprey Ejike, Eugene Ape, Gajetan Acena Seck Osmane and Michael Titus Igweh; as well as two Zimbabwe citizens, Ozias Sibanda and Federik Luttar.

Indonesia executes 4 drug convicts
The government carried out the executions by firing squad some time after midnight
CILACAP, Indonesia (UPDATED) – Drug convicts were executed by firing squad in Indonesia on Friday, July 29, moments after midnight.
According to the Attorney General for General Crimes Noor Rachmat, of the 14 death row convicts who were to be executed, only 4 pushed through namely Indonesian Freddy Budiman, Senegal's Osmane Seck, and Nigeria's Michael Titus Igweh and Humphrey Jefferson.
The 10 others were spared although Rachmat did not elaborate on how the decisions were made.
The signs the execution would happen tonight were there.
Throughout the evening, lawyers and spiritual advisers of those sentenced to death came one by one to Cilacap's sea port, the entry way to Nusakambangan island where executions by the government usually take place.
Buses carrying families also arrived throughout the night, to transport the families to the prison island where they claimed the bodies of those executed. Earlier in the day, family members cried, pleading for a last-minute reprieve for their loved ones.
Security was high around the port as media and locals flocked to the port's gate, as news of the possible executions spread.

Indonesia halts execution of Pakistani drug convict
|Zulfiqar Ali
Indonesia on Friday halted the execution of Pakistani drug convict Zulfiqar Ali hours before he was set to face the firing squad, Express News reported.
Zulfiqar Ali, 52, was transferred Monday to Nusakambangan prison island off Java where executions take place. Indonesian authorities had told Pakistani officials his execution was imminent.
Earlier today, Indonesia rejected appeals from the UN and EU to halt the execution of 14 drug convicts, including Ali.
Rights groups including Amnesty International had expressed serious concerns about Ali's conviction, alleging it arose out of beatings and torture and he did not have a fair trial.
Pakistan's deputy ambassador in Jakarta, Syed Zahid Raza, said earlier on Monday his embassy has "approached all the concerned high officials to convince them that it was not a fair trial".
Rights groups have claimed Ali, sentenced to death in 2005 for heroin possession, was beaten into confessing.

The Indonesian government on Friday said it had executed 4 drug traffickers, giving a reprieve of uncertain duration to 10 others it had said would also be put to death.
Deputy Attorney-General Noor Rachmad said 1 Indonesian and 3 Nigerians were executed by firing squad not long after midnight local time.
He said the government hasn't decided when the other executions will take place.
Earlier this week, Indonesia's attorney-general said 14 people, mostly foreigners, would be executed.
Relatives, rights groups and foreign governments had urged Indonesia to spare their lives.
It is the 3rd set of executions under President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo who was elected in 2014 and campaigned on promises to improve human rights in Indonesia.

Reports: Indonesia executes convicted drug traffickers
Reports say the Indonesian government has executed 4 of the 14 convicted drug traffickers.
The Indonesian government has carried out executions of 4 convicted drug traffickers, while sparing the lives of 10 other prisoners, Al Jazeera has learned.
The convicts were shot by firing squad at the Nusa Kambangan penal island shortly after midnight on Friday local time (1700 GMT on Thursday) amid pouring rain, according to TV reports.
Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen, reporting from Jakarta, said among those who were executed were 2 Nigerian citizens, a South African citizen and 1 Indonesian.
"All the others are still waiting their trials to be reexamined," our correspondent said. "It's not very clear what actually were the last conclusions why these executions didn't take place. But the government is saying it has something to do with legal issues."
The attorney general's office had said earlier on Thursday that 14 people, including foreigners, would be executed "soon".
The lawyer of Pakistani prisoner Zulfikar Ali earlier told our correspondent that his client was not among those who had reportedly been executed.
Al Jazeera's Vaessen said there had been "a lot of pressure" until the last minute to stop the executions.
The executions were the 3rd set carried out since President Joko Widodo took office in October 2014.
Widodo's 2-year-old administration will have executed more people than were executed in the previous decade. 14 were put to death last year. But 1 prisoner, a woman from the Philippines, was spared the death penalty at the last minute.
The European Union and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights had called on Indonesia to impose an immediate moratorium on executions, and the Indian and Pakistani governments also made urgent efforts to save 2 nationals among the condemned.
The Indonesian government said the death penalty is necessary for narcotics-related crimes because the country was facing a drugs epidemic, particularly affecting young people.
But critics argue that capital punishment is not an effective deterrent and some have also questioned the accuracy of the government's drug abuse statistics.
The government of Jokowi's predecessor did not carry out executions between 2009 and 2012, but resumed them in 2013.
Indonesia executes four drug convicts on Nusakambangan
One Indonesian and three Nigerians were killed by firing squad shortly after midnight local time (17:00 GMT), reports say. There has been no confirmation yet from the government.
The remaining 10 are expected to be put to death in the coming days.
Human rights organisation Amnesty International condemned the executions as a "deplorable act that violates international and Indonesian law".
Indonesia has some of the world's toughest drug laws, and has faced intense criticism internationally for resuming executions.
Fourteen, mostly foreign, drug convicts were executed last year to widespread condemnation.
Cases of concern
This, the third round of executions under President Joko Widodo, took place at Nusakambangan prison island.
Relatives had gathered there earlier in the day to say goodbye to loved ones, according to the Jakarta Post. It also said 17 ambulances were sent to the island - 14 of them carrying coffins.
One source told local media the execution took place at 00:45 Friday, having been postponed because of heavy rain and strong winds.
Those who were executed have been named as Indonesian Freddy Budiman, and three Nigerians - Seck Osmane, Humphrey Jefferson Ejike and Michael Titus Igweh.
Those who remain on death row include three other Indonesians, a Pakistani, an Indian, two other Nigerians and two Zimbabweans.
Activists have been particularly concerned by the cases of the Pakistani man, Zulfiqar Ali - who they say was beaten into confessing to heroin possession - and an Indonesian woman, Merri Utami - who says she was duped into becoming a drug mule.
President Widodo vowed to take a hard line against drug trafficking when he was elected in 2014, saying he would not compromise over death sentences to convicted drug dealers.
Australia withdrew its ambassador from Indonesia for five weeks in protest at the execution of two Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in April 2015.

Essential oils for gallbladder can help cleanse your gallbladder when it becomes sluggish and overworked.* When fatty diet is improperly prepared and regularly consumed, gallstones are common. They can block the bile flow and prevent passage of pancreatic enzymes. The stones can also have rough edges, which make them very difficult to pass.
Essential oils can assist gallbladder congestion and help with a gallbladder cleanse. Lemon and Lime essential oils are great, due to their cleansing nature, and Rosemary is another great essential oil for gallbladder congestion, thanks to its anti-stringent and digestive.* Add the oils to a compress, bath, or massage them over the gallbladder (dilute a few drops of each into 1 tablespoon of carrier oil).

CBEC proposes to bring money changers into service tax net as well.
The Central Board of Excise and Customs has proposed a 10 per cent service tax on advertisement space in the print and visual media and has decided to bring money changers in the ambit of the tax.
"The amount paid by advertising agencies to the media for obtaining space for display or exhibition, being in the nature of input service used in providing the taxable service, is liable to be included in the value of the taxable service," the CBEC said in a draft circular issued today.
At present, only the 15 per cent commission given to advertising agencies by the media is liable to service tax. However, if the present draft becomes a reality, all payments made to advertising agencies by their clients will attract service tax.
"The government is trying to overturn the existing position and there will be a heavy burden on the advertising industry. The Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax Tribunal, in a number of cases, has held that payments made for space booking are not taxable. In my view, this draft circular may not be in consonance with the existing provisions of the law unless the provisions are changed," said JK Mittal, a service tax expert.
The CBEC, however, said space or slot bookings by ad agencies on behalf of their clients were an input service and formed an integral part of taxable services provided under the law.
It pointed out that in computing the value of the taxable service provided by an advertising agency to a client, "the amount paid by the agency to the print or the electronic media for display or exhibition of advertisement was included in the consideration paid by the client".
"The service provided by an advertising agency to its client is a composite and single service and use of advertisement space as an input service cannot be treated independently as a service separately provided on the client's own account. Accordingly, service tax is to be levied on the entire payment made by the client to the advertising agency, inclusive of the amount paid by the advertising agency to the media," it said.
On money changers, the CBEC said, "They cannot be left out of the purview of service tax on the plea that they are merely selling and purchasing foreign currencies and not dealing or brokering in foreign exchange. Under the Sale of Goods Act, goods means every kind of moveable property but excludes money. Therefore, transactions in foreign exchange do not fall under the scope of sale."

A truck crashed and its trailer separated and rolled early Monday on Interstate 15 near Sunset, blocking two southbound lanes for more than an hour at the height of the morning commute.
Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Jay Heslop said the driver of thetruck escaped injury in the 8:15 a.m. accident near mile post 337. The wreckage had been cleared and normal traffic flow resumed as of 9:30 a.m.
The crash, which spilled bags of concrete and fencing across the southbound lanes, backed up commuter traffic for miles, UHP said.
Also, sparks from when the trailer hit a concrete barrier wall sparked a small field fire, which was quickly extinguished by fire crews.
The cause of the accident remained under investigation.

And only five years late.
But do we quibble at this point or applaud? Actually, there should be some commendation for what was proclaimed Thursday in baseball's steroid policy, even if there are questions about details, scope of punishment, and the will to carry it through.
The sport made a genuine move on steroids. Finally. After heaven knows how many illicit home runs. Negotiation and agreement came in the middle of a labor contract, which is like trying to turn on a truck with no keys. Something hot-wired the players' union. Maybe it was shame.
Motivation, thy name is BALCO. Too bad it required a scandal, threats from Congress and many ill-gotten numbers, to force the issue. The high command at the Players Association should take some credit in this, but no pride.
It is way past due. And it is still not enough. But it's a start.
Argument can be made that the guidelines are still much too mild. But they at least include the components that absolutely had to be there, if baseball did not want to be laughed off its soapbox when the subject was drug enforcement.
There is a penalty for first-time offenders. Ten games. Not a lot. Not enough. Barely a West Coast swing. The NFL calls for a four-game suspension on first offense. Translated to baseball, that would be 40 games.
And it now will take four offenses in baseball to be suspended a year. Too many chances. Far too many chances. Does that imply someone caught THREE times using steroids deserves leniency?
But at least it's something when you consider that, under the existing policy, baseball more or less says "Liar, liar, pants on fire" at anyone caught, and sends him back to the plate the next inning.
Something else important. We'll know who they are. Steroid use in baseball is not just an individual lifestyle choice. It is cheating. It is perpetuating a fraud upon the game and the customers. There should be no right to do that in privacy.
There is also to be more random testing. In-season and out. Instead of the current system, where the testing schedule was as predictable as tide tables. Anyone caught was guilty not only of misdemeanor use of performance enhancers, but felonious stupidity.
The Olympic drug enforcement gurus will probably sneer at all this. A first violation in their word, and it's a two-year ban. One more, and it's life.
But reality is reality. Weightlifters and bobsledders do not have unions.
Besides, there is nothing neat about the Olympic drug policy. Most times we find out after the event. The scoreboard will tell us who might have won. The lab will tell us for sure later who did.
And no matter how sophisticated the Olympic testing program, no one seems certain even now if Marion Jones was clean or dirty.
But baseball should be clear about what this new policy is, and what it isn't.
It is a legitimate, credible beginning. It is progress. It is action.
But it is not the end. Any anti-doping official on the planet knows the steroid war constantly changes tactics, changes weapons. There is always something new, always a better way to beat the system.
So the system has to be able to adapt, too. Quickly, boldly. Neither of those words describes baseball's history with drugs.
Major League Baseball tried to show Thursday it is serious about steroids. But belatedly, the sport is just getting to first base on this issue. And it is a long way to home.

By Nate Ryan, USA TODAY
Carl Edwards doesn't know David Gilliland, but he knows the tribulations of being a NASCAR underdog. Edwards begged for rides before shedding the outsider status and becoming a Nextel Cup winner.
So as Gilliland closed in on an improbable win in Saturday's Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedway, Edwards pushed his damaged Ford to the front and craned his neck for a better view from the cockpit.
"I wanted to see if he won, and I was cheering for him so hard," Edwards said. "A guy shows up with no sponsor and a bunch of cool veterans and won the seventh time out. I thought that was the story of the year."
Gilliland's first Busch Series victory might be remembered as NASCAR's upset of the century. The part-time driver, who had failed to qualify twice this season and hadn't finished higher than 29th in six previous starts, didn't back into the checkered flag with his Chevrolet. Gilliland made a winning pass on J.J. Yeley, whose Chevy is owned by reigning Cup champ Joe Gibbs Racing.
UNDERDOG'S DAY: Gilliland surges to first victory
An 18-race streak (dating to last October) of Busch wins by Nextel Cup competitors — many in cars fielded by powerhouses Roush Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing — was halted by a team that is less than a year old, started the season with four employees and lacks a sponsor to foot multimillion-dollar bills.
In a sport where money buys speed and consolidation is squeezing the little guy, it was a rare tale of David (literally) defeating Goliath in a straight fight.
"We won and did it the right way," said the 30-year-old native of Chino Hills, Calif. "It's something I'll never forget."
A constantly ringing cellphone has provided constant reminders of the win. Among friends, family and a few NASCAR team owners (whom Gilliland coyly wouldn't name), Cup veterans Robby Gordon and Kyle Busch also called.
The attention will continue this weekend at Infineon Raceway, where Gilliland will attempt his first Cup race while facing this question: Did he pull the No. 1 stunner in the Busch Series' 25-year history?
"That's what I've heard," he said. "It's a big deal for an unsponsored team building our own motors to beat those guys."
Besides Yeley, Busch and Edwards, Gilliland bested a field that included Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Greg Biffle.
"David's been the best-kept secret in NASCAR," said Billy Wilburn, Gilliland's crew chief.
Though unknown nationally, Gilliland excelled in many West Coast series and won the prestigious Toyota All-Star Showdown at Irwindale Speedway in California last year. When he was too slow to make the Busch race at Lowe's Motor Speedway three weeks ago, he retreated to a home office that houses more than 70 trophies.
"That's the worst I've felt in my life," he said. "I looked at those trophies and thought, 'You know you can do it.' "
He has much experience to draw on at Clay Andrews Racing. Former Cup winner Jerry Nadeau is the driving coach, and Wilburn, who worked in Cup with Rusty Wallace and Dale Jarrett, oversees a 17-man staff filled with NASCAR veterans.
"We're a start-up, but we have people who know how to race," Wilburn said.
But the team didn't have its own pit crew until Saturday. Gilliland overcame falling from second to 19th on one stop.
"It's a Cinderella story, no doubt," Wilburn said. "It'd be like me taking my clubs to the U.S. Open and winning."
The analogy is appropriate. Before moving to racing, Gilliland played behind Tiger Woods on the golf team at Western High in Anaheim. He was struck that his biggest win occurred the same weekend that Woods missed the cut in a major.
"Those things happen to everybody," Gilliland said. "We showed you can come back from something like that, and anytime you can see dreams coming true right before your eyes, it's amazing."
