People probably figured I fell off the face of the earth since I haven't been posting on here for a while. I guess Ioh kinda did. I haven't logged him in for some time on SL, and honestly, I'm not sure what to do with him yet. For some time, I was preoccupied on Luke, who was doing alright in one RP, until drama took all the fun out of it. Add to that, a break up of a relationship that was likely doomed from the start, and disappointing another friend I was in a more stable RP relationship at the time, and yeah, Luke winds up lost and out of the RP scene as well.
I also tried picking up another RP with another character, but that kinda flopped too, in a different way. By that time I was starting to get back into IMVU and, yep another RP relationship that was semi-stable, but not very fulfilling because I knew it couldn't go anywhere beyond IMVU because the other person was engaged to someone else in their real life. But, I didn't mind it at first, since, to be honest, I was looking more for comfort than a 'real' relationship. And for a time, I felt I had got what I was looking for. But then, I found someone else that, at the time, seemed more real.
So, again, I break from the more stable relation to pursue this 'real girl', and that was going great for about a month or so. Then, more recently, we started having a few troubles that may or may not have been blown out of proportion, but ultimately led to major drama when none was ever intended. But what can I expect, despite all the 'I love you's between us, and caring for each other, she just really didn't want anything more than 'just friends'.
And I guess I should have realized that from the start, when we met in what basically is the equivalent in IMVU of a SL adult sim club/pub place. We had a good time the first night, and I stayed with her and cuddled. I hate to think of it this way, but that might have been my first mistake, because that was when I started having feelings for her and, I guess then too her for me.
It was a bit rocky at first. I mean, there were wonderful times then. We went places, we cuddled, we had fun and talked. But, on the other hand, she kept to that Pub, claiming it was a friend's place and she felt obliged to look over it for him. It was a room that she was a moderator for, and she claimed that her role there was to make sure nothing bad happened. But, I'd see that she was in the room, and often it was with another guy there. So I hop in, and the first things I hear are emotes of a guy groping her and about to have her way with her - yiffing.
Now the Pub is meant for yiffing, but, this is supposed to be a girl that not only likes me, but claims to care about me and wants to be more than friends. And, we were beginning to say 'I love you' to each other. Yet, there she is, with this guy about to basically fuck her and I'm supposed to believe that I 'came in at the wrong time' and that she was about to stop him and boot the guy before I came in? That somehow I was her hero to come in and give her an excuse to get the guy off her? Yeah, right. But I bought it, hook, line and sinker. Why? Because, at the time, I was in love! >.<
Of course, she also tried to ease the hurt by saying, 'It's only RP. When I was yiffing him, it didn't mean anything. I was just faking it.' Of course, that would leave the assumption that, with me, it's 'real' or 'desired'. But nope, eventually she confessed that at no time, despite even her moments of advances and instigating intimacy, she was faking it. All she really wanted was cuddles. And that would be fine, except if one only wants cuddles, they shouldn't be yiffing other guys and faking it in the first place! If you don't like it, don't really want to do it, then DON'T FUCKING DO IT!!!
I mean, hell, a prostitute or whore might fake it and not like doing it, but they at least get paid for doing it. They don't tell you that they love you and pretend to like it in order to have a relationship with you, and then turn around and say, 'Let's just be friends!' No, they are honest about what they want and don't waste their time with a John they don't really want. But no, she waffled with that and kept tugging that 'I love you' or 'I care about you' while just leading me along.
But, anyways, the other aspect was issues of jealousy and trust, which are slightly valid, but not justified to continue this sort of relationship. I'd keep hopping into this Pub room and find her with other guys, and she'd either jump to be with me, or, if she liked the guy, she'd try to get a three way cuddle going. I wasn't comfortable with this at all, but I went along with it because - yep, you guessed it, 'I was in love!' *shakes head*
It finally got too much when she'd have one of those guys with me on the three way cuddle pillow and the guy gropes her right in front of me while I'm right next to her. I mean, the bastard wanted to finder her, and likely more, and she and him look at me and are like, 'what's wrong?' or 'what's the problem?' And I just want to shout, 'What's the problem? That guy is trying to fucking finger you and fuck you, and you're asking what's fucking wring?!' Oh, but the place is a yiff joint, so I'm supposed to take that into consideration. She hadn't yet told me she supposedly fakes fucking and doesn't really like to do it. It sure as hell didn't seem like she didn't like it the way she carried on with this guy and let him do that shit. And she has the gall to ask what the fuck's the matter? Seriously? The whole damn situation is what's the fuck the matter! But no, I'm 'just jealous' and I should just go along with it because she's got lots of guy friends and I need to accept that.
BULLSHIT! I don't have to accept that poor, lame excuse for why one would fake fuck when they supposedly don't like doing that. I have many girl friends. Doesn't mean I fake fuck them. Doesn't mean I let them grope me when I have a fucking girlfriend! Oh, but wait, I had a girlfriend then, an RP one that I didn't think cared much for me, but yeah, that's a lame excuse. So is it lame to keep continuing on with this fake fuck female in a relationship with the excuse of 'but I was in love!' Those four words are such a poisonous reasoning, but it sells in Hollywood and paperback romance novels. But it just doesn't go anywhere in reality. But in virtual reality where reality and false fantasies mix the most, this is the sort of romance that all of us in virtual spaces fall for, and maybe are addicted to. But that's just rationalizing being a fool.
But, at least in the Pub, the fake fucking came to an end. I guess she considered us more serious at the time. And maybe we were. She started her own PG room, so no yiffing might potentially happen. Just cuddles, if one were to take the room at face value. The problem is that with IMVU, you can be in PC, or Private Chat with virtually anyone. I 'could' take at face value that her being in a cuddle with some other guy in the room is just her being nice to a friend, and just wanting to comfort that friend. And if mention is to them being in PC, or the indicators of taking a long time to say something, or otherwise being distracted by something, I should just take it at face value that they are 'just talking'. I'm not supposed to believe that she's not possibly in that PC doing what she used to do at the Pub, the things I actually caught her doing, which doesn't take into consideration what she may or may not have been doing while I was away, working on rl issues, struggling myself with real problems, which I thought she cared about, because she claimed she loved me. But apparently not enough.
Funny thing is, what started the end was one night after intimacy, to which it seemed she fell asleep during, and to which I texted her good night and went to sleep, still in the private room with her, mind you. Still cuddled up with her and holding her in my arms. And I even said, 'I love you' and kissed her good night. But, I crash overnight. My phone was silent and not in the room I was sleeping in. And she texted me several times, I guess frantic to know where I was. In the morning, I finally get the texts, and message her that I'm sorry, but I crashed and didn't notice until I woke up, and that I'd be on later that night.
So I get back on later that night, our couple pic out of her profile pic and puts one up of some angsty demoness girly all emo, hugging her knees and all sob story looking. Where I once was on her list of friends, and having a heart next to my name, she took that out. Where she once had her tag line claiming to love me, she put up, 'Love is a joke, and your heart the punchline.' All that because I went to sleep and my internet crashed. That broke her down and was the absolute worst thing that could happen to her - I hurt her. Yep, I'm this horrible monster that hurt her because I went to sleep and *OMG!!!* my internet crashed. The whole world of our loving relationship crashes down and comes to an end because of that.
I find this tragically funny now (not a lol funny, the odd, WTF?! ironic type), because she's fallen asleep on me, and she's crashed while we had laid idle cuddled together, and I thought nothing of it. After all, if she legitimately crashed or fell asleep, she wasn't fake fucking or cuddling with some guy - unless I happen to have found her in the Pub or her room with some guy with his arms wrapped around her, which I did, TWICE! But no, if I dare make mention of it, I'm just a jealous asshole. But if I fall asleep ONCE, if I crash and go offline ONCE, it's the end of the fucking world!
So please, would some rational person tell me, am I insane to feel jealous after all this? I already understand I'm insane for continuing in this toxic relationship with an immature girl that, although she claimed to care for me, did so many fucked up actions that, I think, any sane person would realize are fucked up and move on. That is, unless they were like me, and still held the 'but I was in love!' banner.
And yep, we talked, and for one night, I foolishly brought her back in my arms, wanting to love her. She said then that, despite my end of the world 'hurting' her, bringing her to tears and tremors, that she still wants me. I should be flattered with that right? Well, the fool that I am, I was! So, we come to peace that night, only have it all fall to pieces the next day.
But, we'll back up. First, I find her again in her room with a guy holding her and all snuggled up. And finally, instead of just closing out the room, I finally come unglued and snap at her for being in that guy's arms, telling her how that guy's my fucking replacement, and she knows it. And why shouldn't I believe otherwise? She'd been with that guy in her room for several days, for several long hours, and that bastard was ALL OVER HER! He's her Mr. White Knight in shining armor, her defender from terrible tyrannical me.Me, who's worst crimes were being 'too jealous' about seeing her nearly getting fucked and groped by other men, and one time going to sleep and having my internet crash while idling with her. Yep, I'm the evil villain here.
We had made peace that night, though. Because, yep, you guessed it, 'I was in love!' Funny is, all during our peace making, she was still in her room with Mr. White Knight. I go into her room the next day, she's cuddling another guy. This time, from all the potential indicators that seem reasonable to believe, this guy was having real problems and needed a friend to cuddle. So, that, I merited with her 'big heart'. Such a wonderful friend she is. That is, to everyone but me, who she once said 'I love you' to.
A little later, sad friend went off to be alone. A little after that, fictional father comes into the room and decides to take matters into his own hands, telling me to leave this girl, because I've 'hurt' her. I've hurt her soooo badly from that one night of falling asleep and having my network crash ONCE. I'm such an evil creature because of that, I must break up with her. Now, in hind sight, he's right. I should have, if I were a reasonable, sane person, have broken up with her that night that I first caught her about to get fake fucked by a guy she claimed not to care about, and almost had me, the guy she claimed to care about just watch, because it's her job to make everyone happy. Everyone but me, apparently. The one she claimed to love and care about. My feelings were nothing compared to strangers and everyone else that were her friends. I was just that guy she said 'I love you' to. I didn't matter. Only if I'm jealous of the bullshit she put me through (and yes, I'm at fault for continuing to go through it), and if I dare to fall asleep on her or if my connection does the ultimate and dies on me, I'm the evil asshole that 'hurt' her. Never mind all the damn fucking times she's hurt me, and I tried to fight it all back because of that foolish excuse of being in love. Nope, I'm the evil bastard.
So, after my connection goes out, which seems to have a wonderful way of disconnecting at the worst of times to do so, I go to the coffee shop to see about making amends because..., yep, you guessed it, 'I was in love!' But I go into her room, and Mr White Knight's already threatening to flag me for 'harassment', despite that this girl asked me to come back to talk. She was still AFK, so couldn't say anything. And Deputy Dipstick keeps ranting about how she doesn't care for me and wants me to leave. He then gets all creeper and hugs up cuddly with her, obviously trying to grate at my last nerves and get me jealous.
For such actions, you'd expect for my love to come to my side and defend me against such angry and unfounded attacks, but no. She just excuses him as being concerned about her and wanting to protect her. Of course. Because he's the fucking one that wants to REPLACE ME! But my love never got it through her thick skull. And finally, after arguing for a few hours, she just goes to 'let's just be friends!'
FUCK THAT! All her friends hate me now. How can I be a friend in that scenario. I can't be in the same room with her because her friends will just drop in and try to start fights with me. Mr. White Knight will want to be there to cuddle up to her and try to make me jealous. And even if we tried to go somewhere else, she'll still want to be with all those friends that hate me. Despite saying she doesn't like crying in front of her friends, she'll run to them and get her little pity party pose together and let them tell her what an evil bastard I am if I dare 'hurt' her again. Fuck that, I'm not in love any more. So I finally did the smart thing and left her. Yes, I probably should have done it sooner, but finally, I'm free from the insanity of that fucked up love.
And that's all for the drama that has been my virtual life since I fell off the face of the earth. :p

In a plurality opinion, the Supreme Court holds that the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination does not automatically apply to silence in the precustodial setting during questioning by law enforcement; plurality concludes that since the Fifth Amendment privilege is "generally is not self-executing," it must be "expressly invoke[d] ... in response to the officer's question; the case highlights differences among the Justices concerning the scope and application of the Fifth Amendment, in Salinas v. Texas, 570 U.S. _, 133 S.Ct. 2174 (June 17, 2013) (No. 12-246)
On Monday, June 17, 2013, the Supreme Court held that a defendant's silence during police questioning in a precustodial setting could be used at trial under the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination. No opinion obtained the support of a majority as a plurality opinion and concurrence provided the judgment of the Court.
The question as originally presented in the case was:
Whether or under what circumstances the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause protects a defendant's refusal to answer law enforcement questioning before he has been arrested or read his Miranda rights.
The Supreme Court had noted but left open this issue. See Jenkins v. Anderson, 447 U.S. 231, 236 n.2 (1980) ("Our decision today does not consider whether or under what circumstances prearrest silence may be protected by the Fifth Amendment."). The Supreme Court has held that after a defendant testifies, "the Fifth Amendment is not violated by the use of [a defendant's] prearrest silence to impeach [his] credibility." 447 U.S. at 238.
There was no majority opinion issued as the Court could not agree on the application of the Fifth Amendment to resolve the question. Instead, three opinions were issued. First, Justice Samuel Alito, Jr. announced the judgment of the Court in a plurality opinion which was joined by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and Justice Anthony Kennedy. Second, Justice Clarence Thomas filed an opinion concurring in the judgment which was joined by Justice Antonin Scalia. Finally, Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote the dissent and was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.
Summary Facts
During an investigation concerning the homicide shooting of two brothers in December 1992, officers located discarded shotgun shells. At the end of January 1993, defendant Salinas voluntarily answered questions at his residence and then at the police station, he provided "elimination [finger]prints." He also signed a consent to search his residence. During an interview of nearly one hour at the police station, he answered all questions except one: "when asked whether shotgun shells found at the crime scene would match a shotgun found at his home," he "remained silent, and, according to the interrogating officer, demonstrated signs of deception." Salinas v. State, 369 S.W.3d 176, 177 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012) (No. PD-0570-11). After being charged, the defendant's first trial resulted in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a verdict. At a second trial, the government was permitted to introduce evidence of his silence during police questioning. The defendant objected on Fifth Amendment grounds "whether he was in custody or not." During closing argument, the prosecutor highlighted the silence:
The police officer testified that he wouldn't answer that question. . . . You know, if you asked somebody – there is a murder in New York City, is your gun going to match up the murder in New York City? Is your DNA going to be on that body or that person's fingernails? Is [sic] your fingerprints going to be on that body? You are going to say no. An innocent person is going to say: What are you talking about? I didn't do that. I wasn't there. He didn't respond that way. He didn't say: No, it's not going to match up. It's my shotgun. It's been in our house. What are you talking about? He wouldn't answer that question.
The jury convicted the defendant and he was sentenced to serve twenty years in prison and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
Plurality Opinion
As Justice Samuel Alito, Jr. noted in the plurality opinion, the petitioner failed to invoke the privilege by not responding to further questions in a voluntary setting:
Petitioner's Fifth Amendment claim fails because he did not expressly invoke the privilege against self-incrimination in response to the officer's question. It has long been settled that the privilege "generally is not self-executing" and that a witness who desires its protection "'must claim it.'" Minnesota v. Murphy, 465 U.S. 420, 425, 427 (1984) (quoting United States v. Monia, 317 U.S. 424, 427 (1943)). Although "no ritualistic formula is necessary in order to invoke the privilege," Quinn v. United States, 349 U.S. 155, 164 (1955), a witness does not do so by simply standing mute. Because petitioner was required to assert the privilege in order to benefit from it, the judgment of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals rejecting petitioner's Fifth Amendment claim is affirmed.
Salinas, 570 U.S. at _, 133 S.Ct. 2174 (plurality opinion).
Absent express invocation of the privilege, the plurality opinion noted that two exceptions had been "recognized two exceptions to the requirement that witnesses invoke the privilege, but neither applies here." Salinas, 570 U.S. at _. The first exception was the rule that did not require a criminal defendant to take the stand to claim the privilege at trial under Griffin v. California, 380 U.S. 609, 613–615 (1965). The second exception applied "where governmental coercion makes his forfeiture of the privilege involuntary," such as for Miranda warnings or for public employment or contracts. Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (plurality opinion) (citing Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493, 497 (1967) (public employment); see also Lefkowitz v. Cunningham, 431 U.S. 801, 802–804 (1977) (public office); Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 84–85 (1973) (public contracts).
The plurality found it unnecessary to recognize a third exception "to the 'general rule' that a witness must assert the privilege to subsequently benefit from it." Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (plurality opinion) (citation omitted). Based on the facts of the case, when the petitioner voluntarily responded to police questions but then elected not to answer further questions, he failed to invoke the protections of the Fifth Amendment privilege. The plurality opinion noted the challenges in discerning whether silence in the face of questioning could be assumed to be an explicit invocation of the privilege:
To be sure, someone might decline to answer apolice officer's question in reliance on his constitutional privilege. But he also might do so because he is trying to think of a good lie, because he is embarrassed, or because he is protecting someone else. Not every such possible explanation for silence is probative of guilt, but neither isevery possible explanation protected by the Fifth Amend¬ment. Petitioner alone knew why he did not answer the officer's question, and it was therefore his "burden . . . to make a timely assertion of the privilege." Garner [v. United States], 424 U.S. [648,] 655 [(1976)].
While concurring in the judgment, Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia found "a simpler way to resolve this case." According to their concurrence: "Salinas' claim would fail even if he had invoked the privilege because the prosecutor's comments regarding his precustodial silence did not compel him to give self-incriminating testimony." Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (concurring opinion). Justice Thomas viewed the ruling in Griffin v. California, 380 U.S. 609, 615 (1965) (barring the government from commenting on the defendant's silence at trial under the Fifth Amendment) to be inconsistent with the language and history of the Fifth Amendment privilege. As he concluded:
Given Griffin's indefensible foundation, I would not extend it to a defendant's silence during a precustodial interview. I agree with the plurality that Salinas' Fifth Amendment claim fails and,therefore, concur in the judgment.
Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (concurring opinion).
The dissent, authored by Justice Stephen G. Breyer, believed that the Fifth Amendment privilege "prohibits the prosecution from commenting on the petitioner's silence inresponse to police questioning." Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (dissenting opinion). As the dissent summarized:
The Fifth Amendment prohibits prosecutors from commenting on an individual's silence where that silenceamounts to an effort to avoid becoming "a witness against himself." This Court has specified that "a rule of evidence"permitting "commen[t] . . . by counsel" in a criminal caseupon a defendant's failure to testify "violates the FifthAmendment." Griffin v. California, 380 U.S. 609, 610, n. 2, 613 (1965) (internal quotation marks omitted). See also United States v. Patane, 542 U.S. 630, 637 (2004) (plurality opinion); Turner v. United States, 396 U.S. 398, 433 (1970) (Black, J., dissenting). And, since "it is impermissible to penalize an individual for exercising his Fifth Amendment privilege when he is under police custodial interrogation," the "prosecution may not . . . use at trial the fact that he stood mute or claimed his privilege in theface of accusation." Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 468, n. 37 (1966) (emphasis added).
Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (dissenting opinion). According to the dissent, no formal or "ritualistic" invocation was required to obtain the protections of the Fifth Amendment:
Much depends on the circumstances of theparticular case, the most important circumstances being: (1) whether one can fairly infer that the individual being questioned is invoking the Amendment's protection; (2) ifthat is unclear, whether it is particularly important for the questioner to know whether the individual is doing so; and (3) even if it is, whether, in any event, there is a good reason for excusing the individual from referring to theFifth Amendment, such as inherent penalization simply by answering.
Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (dissenting opinion).
Summary Observations
A consistent approach to apply the Fifth Amendment to the voluntary questioning by law enforcement could not garner a majority of the Court. The crux of the disagreement turns in part on the application of Griffin. The plurality viewed the case as an exception to the general rule requiring express invocation of the privilege. The concurrence viewed Griffin as "indefensible." In contrast, the dissent would extend Griffin to precustodial questioning by law enforcement.
The three opinions also differed on the question to be resolved. The plurality noted that since the "petitioner did not invoke the privilege during his interview," it was unnecessary to address the original question presented "whether the prosecution may use a defendant's assertion of theprivilege against self-incrimination during a noncustodial police interview as part of its case in chief." Instead, the majority viewed the "critical question" as "whether, under the 'circumstances; of this case, petitioner was deprived of the ability to voluntarily invoke the Fifth Amendment. He was not." Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (plurality opinion). The concurrence believed that the plurality "avoid[ed]" addressing the original question:
We granted certiorari to decide whether the Fifth Amendment privilege against compulsory self-incrimination prohibits a prosecutor from using a defendant's precustodial silence as evidence of his guilt. The plurality avoids reaching that question and instead concludes that Salinas' Fifth Amendment claim fails because he did not expressly invoke the privilege.
Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (concurring opinion).
As the dissent framed the question: "The question before us is whether the Fifth Amendment prohibits the prosecutor from eliciting and commenting upon the evidence about Salinas' silence." Salinas, 570 U.S. at _ (dissenting opinion). Normally, when a plurality opinion is issued, guidance is found by identifying the "narrowest grounds" from the concurrence. As the Supreme Court has explained:
When a fragmented Court decides a case and no single rationale explaining the result enjoys the assent of five Justices, the holding of the Court may be viewed as that position taken by those Members who concurred in the judgments on the narrowest grounds.
Marks v. United States, 430 U.S. 188, 193 (1968) (internal quotation omitted).
Given the splintered ruling, and differences in applying the Fifth Amendment, it remains to be seen whether the scope of the Fifth Amendment in the precustodial setting will be reconsidered at some point and likely with slightly different facts.

From Leawood, Kansas, USA:
Why is it that the nutrition advisors for the diabetes community are pushing dangerous sweetener alternatives, i.e., aspartame, etc. instead of educating people about the sweet herb stevia? This herb is as sweet as artificial sweeteners and actually has properties that help control high blood sugar levels. It is disappointing to me that our kids who's bodies are compromised by the disease have not been given the option of a sweetener that won't do more harm than good!
You raise an interesting question. Stevia is an intensely sweet herbal extract with a long history of personal use in various countries. It is also used in processed foods in some countries, notably Japan. Although it is undoubtedly safe, given its long track record, unfortunately it has not been widely researched under controlled situations; therefore, it's not possible to support the claim made by some who promote its use, that it is nutritionally superior to other sweeteners. Not all herbs are safe, and since this one appears to have biological activities beyond it's sweetening properties (such as affecting blood flow), some controlled studies would be welcome. Until such studies are done, it is highly unlikely that authoritative groups such as the American Diabetes Association will add stevia to their recommendations.
Many of the dietitians I know who work in diabetes are aware of stevia and offer it to their clients as one of several possible options for sweetening foods. Of course, these days, table sugar, honey, and other nutritive sweeteners are among the options offered since concentrated sweets are now recognized as being no more harmful to blood sugar than other forms of carbohydrate. It's great to have a variety of choices available and for people to know how to use them within their own approach to diabetes management.
You have obviously found stevia to be helpful in managing your own child's nutrition and diabetes, and you are certainly not alone. There are others who prefer other non-nutritive sweeteners, and others who stay away from all non-nutritive sweeteners, either because of their own nutritional concerns or because of issues of taste. It's great that we live in a time where people have so many options and access to information to help them make informed choices among them.

DEXSTR, a Translational Science Company's curator insight, August 3, 2015 8:42 AM
Talking about bias is uncomfortable, but can we afford to ignore this conversation in the machine learning space? To avoid scaling stereotypes or infringing on personal rights, we have to talk about this as it applies to each machine learning algorithm that aims to identify and categorize people.
Transparency in the inputs to such algorithms and how their outputs are used is likely to be an important component of such efforts. Ethical considerations like these have recently been recognized as important problems by the academic community.
It's easy to imagine how the Chicago PD Heat List could be used in a responsible way. It's also easy to imagine worst-case scenarios: What if Senator Joe McCarthy had access to personal analytics during the communist witch hunts of the late 1940s and 50s? Today, what if countries with anti-gay and anti-transgender laws used this technology to identify and harm individuals?

Given the way things are going, this might well be worth checking out.
Stephen Dale's curator insight, October 5, 2015 5:44 AM
It's relatively easy to collect information, aggregate it and apply standard algorithms to derive insights, but much harder to understand where the data comes from, what type of analysis is being applied and what types of error are involved. Insights, even when powered by impressive technology, never come easy. To get full value from data, you must understand it.
Data leads to information, and information without context can lead us down may false avenues. The need for critical thinking is essential when presented with "evidence" manufactured from algorithms we don't understand. Look out for:
Harvard economists published a working paper which warned that US debt was approaching a critical level. As it turned out, they had made a simple Excel error.

Unless the data tells a story, no one cares.
Kenneth Mikkelsen's curator insight, August 25, 2015 10:06 AM
You can cultivate perceptual acuity by watching catalysts and adopting the disciplined practice of looking over the horizon and searching for new ideas, events, technologies, or trends — things that an imaginative person could combine to meet an unmet need or create a totally new product. As your acuity sharpens, you'll spot catalysts more easily and begin to see the world as they see it: as full of new possibilities and opportunities.
Jean-Pierre Blanger's curator insight, July 30, 2015 4:42 PM
The article advocates an extension to traditional (science-based) data analytics teams to include journalistic skills in order to support more effective communication of findings and insights through data storytelling techniques. It is argued that this will help communicate the team's analytical findings in a way that corporate executives and business managers can easily understand.

Excitement Builds as American Airlines Readies New 777-300ER for First Flight
Inaugural Flight Headed to Sao Paulo This Evening
Jan 31, 2013, 04:00 EST
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking an important milestone in its plan to create the industry's most modern, fuel-efficient fleet, American Airlines welcomes the first Boeing 777-300ER (Extended Range) aircraft into its fleet. This evening American will become the first U.S. carrier to fly the 777-300ER when it departs on its inaugural flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Sao Paulo.
"This is a monumental day for all of us at American, and one that many of our people and customers have eagerly awaited," said Virasb Vahidi, American's Chief Commercial Officer. "The 777-300ER is a critical part of our fleet renewal program, offering additional network flexibility and providing increased efficiency, while delivering a state-of-the-art experience for our customers onboard. Welcoming our first 777-300ER into our fleet is a great reminder of American's proud past and promising future."
Freshly painted with American's new look, the aircraft features the modern, new logo with the iconic eagle; silver mica paint to maintain the "silver bird" heritage of American's aircraft; and stripes flying proudly on the tail as a symbol of the airline's origin and name. In conjunction with today's historic flight, American also announces the airline will once again light the tails of most of its aircraft as it converts to its new look.
The 777-300ER introduces new enhancements to the inflight experience, including fully lie-flat seats in First and Business Class – all with direct aisle access; a walk-up bar for premium cabin customers that offers snacks and sweets; and a sophisticated entertainment system offering hundreds of hours of audio and video programming options at every seat throughout the aircraft, including up to 250 movies, more than 180 TV programs and more than 350 audio selections.
The 777-300ER offers an elevated international premium class experience including increased customer choices with new menu selections, new china and flatware designs, and industry-leading amenity kits. Customers will see the product enhancements across all international fleet types, providing a more consistent travel experience for those flying American's global network.
Every customer can also stay productive and connected onboard. The 777-300ER is the first aircraft in American's fleet to offer international Wi-Fi, enabling customers to remain connected throughout the flight, whether over land or over water. To celebrate the new international Wi-Fi service, American will offer complimentary inflight Internet access through March on all flights operated with the new 777-300ER aircraft. In addition, all customers will have access to individual 110-volt AC power outlets and USB jacks for charging personal electronic devices.
American was the first U.S. airline to order and take delivery of the state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300ER and intends to take delivery of a total of 15 of the aircraft through 2014. In addition to service to Sao Paulo, the aircraft is slated to fly to London Heathrow Airport from both Dallas/Fort Worth and New York Kennedy.

While contributions to the grid from renewable resources prepare us for a greener future, they create unpredictable variations in supply and demand. Western Power Distribution's Project Falcon is aiming to address flexibility in energy management.
Growth of the UK's renewable energy generation means power distribution networks are facing unprecedented challenges in managing fluctuations in how much power is coming onto the network and when, due to the unpredictability of generating energy from weather.
Networks also need to improve their methods of managing capacity and dealing with peaks and troughs in demand from consumers. Project Falcon from Western Power Distribution is looking at how it can prepare to manage that now and in the future to ensure both costs and supplies are well managed.
Falcon, which stands for 'Flexible Approaches for Low-Carbon Optimised Networks', is a £16.9m collaborative project led by Western Power Distribution (WPD), with support from partners Alstom, Aston University, CGI, Cisco and Cranfield University. A series of new techniques are being trialled as well as a new tool to model the network which is being developed to simplify and increase flexibility in energy network management. Funded by the Low-Carbon Network Fund from Ofgem, and supported by private investment from WPD and its partners, the project started in December 2011 and will run until the end of September 2015.
WPD's future networks manager Roger Hey says: "One of the more interesting and innovative elements of Falcon is the use of battery-storage technology on our low-voltage networks. This is one of the early stage projects in the UK to do that. We are trying to use them in as many different ways as possible to see how they could benefit consumers in the future. One particular method is how they can help us to integrate renewable technologies much more quickly and easily while ensuring that all of our customers receive the same security of supply they experience now."
All UK power distribution networks are bound to have questions and concerns. WPD aims to address these by trialling four technological intervention techniques: dynamic asset rating, automated load transfer, meshed networks and energy storage; and two commercial intervention techniques, namely distributed generation and demand-side management.
Alongside is the development of the Scenario Investment Model (SIM), which is a prototype simulation software solution featuring an embedded network modelling tool capable of analysing the network as loads change over time. This will allow expected constraints to be visualised for different time periods for various years.
"Essentially, in trialling all these techniques we are trying to demonstrate that there are other ways to manage the changing energy landscape other than just reinforcing the network by building more capacity. We're potentially going to be looking up to 50 years ahead and modelling the different scenarios that we could see so that we can learn how we can respond more rapidly and flexibly to them," Hey says.
The results from all of the techniques on trial are going into a network-planning toolbox that will enable an 11kV network planner to assess what best piece of technology they can deploy in a given situation to meet the network's predicted demands.
Low-impact live trials
As much as is possible, future projections on population growth and demographics are being considered as well to forecast what future demand levels could look like. "You'd think that would be the easy part," Hey adds, "but fluctuations in birth rates, population changes and government policy can make this very hard to predict with any precision, and we are thankful for work that academia is doing to support us in this area."
The live commercial trials for the project are taking place in Milton Keynes, which was chosen as it has a safe, stable and newer infrastructure, meaning robust testing can take place with no impact to customers. The season 1 Winter 2013/14 report was published recently, sharing the learning gained during the design, build and operational phases of Project Falcon's season 1 commercial trials.
Season 2 commercial trials have been adapted to take into account what was learnt in the first stage and guide the project through to its end in September 2015. But at the end of the trial, what is the ideal scenario that WPD and its partners want this R&D project to reveal?
"We've been seeing some exciting results from the commercial and engineering trials so far, especially in what we're learning about battery storage," says Hey. "In particular about how they can be used to manage peak demand at local substations. For example, we are looking at whether they could be used in a very remote village where you've only got winter peaks twice a month to contend with, rather than going there and building more infrastructure.
"As this is an R&D trial we're aware that R&D doesn't always come up with the answers you want, so what we're hoping is that we'll be able to take some, if not all, of these technologies and see where else they can be deployed to great effect across the network," Hey adds.
"For example, if we are using a piece of automated technology and we find something that could be beneficial in another area we'll take it into the business and see how we can integrate it. We're also very keen to share everything we learn with the other distribution companies in the UK."
Learning lessons
All of the UK's distribution networks are working on similar projects and have been sharing information and learning from the start. Demographic differences between regions mean there isn't always a lot of crossover. Despite this, wherever possible the projects are sharing the techniques that can be applied across any demographic.
As well as taking some of what it learns into its business-as-usual processes, WPD will use other elements coming out of Falcon in further projects such as building upload profiles of specific areas and developing load templates for substations.
One of the biggest benefits, though, is that WPD will be able to give its network engineers a more informed option. In the past, assets have been run to set ratings within boundaries based on assumptions gleaned from historical data.
What Falcon is expected to deliver is data on how those assets are operating in real-time so that engineers can make informed decisions on whether or not they can safely operate outside those boundaries to manage capacity better. This means that the network can be managed more in line with what the weather is actually doing rather than what we expect for the season.
The project is hoping to build potential scenarios for up to 50 years into the future. Most technologists and industry analysts acknowledge that things are changing so fast that it can be hard to look beyond two years with anything approaching certainty. Falcon, however, is aiming to put the foundations in now with the ability to maintain pace with any changes in the future.
Hey says: "We're running these trials now and they are allowing us to build up data and knowledge of how these techniques and technologies work. All of this data will be fed into the modelling tool to predict what combination of techniques we might need to use in the future alongside the existing methodologies and traditional network reinforcement."
The example he uses to highlight this approach is that a network engineer can look at how a city is changing and that a new wind farm is being built. Then, rather than just building more capacity into the network, this allows WPD to look at all the options provided by these new technologies to see what else can be done to free up capacity before network reinforcement, which not only cuts costs but subsequently means more capacity becomes available more quickly.
The essence of the Falcon project is not to predict what the future might look like, but to make WPD's network flexible enough to cope with whatever it might bring. For now that looks like a continued increase in greener energy and a gradual scale-down of coal and nuclear generation. But with an election looming, it's impossible to forecast what the energy policies of the UK may be next year, let alone 50 years from now.

Figure 14 shows an example of an adjacency forming. Routers RT1
and RT2 are both connected to a broadcast network. It is
assumed that RT2 is the Designated Router for the network, and
that RT2 has a higher Router ID than Router RT1.
The neighbor state changes realized by each router are listed on
the sides of the figure.
At the beginning of Figure 14, Router RT1's interface to the
network becomes operational. It begins sending Hello Packets,
although it doesn't know the identity of the Designated Router
or of any other neighboring routers. Router RT2 hears this
hello (moving the neighbor to Init state), and in its next Hello
Packet indicates that it is itself the Designated Router and
that it has heard Hello Packets from RT1. This in turn causes
RT1 to go to state ExStart, as it starts to bring up the
RT1 begins by asserting itself as the master. When it sees that
RT2 is indeed the master (because of RT2's higher Router ID),
RT1 transitions to slave state and adopts its neighbor's DD
sequence number. Database Description packets are then
exchanged, with polls coming from the master (RT2) and responses
from the slave (RT1). This sequence of Database Description
Packets ends when both the poll and associated response has the
M-bit off.
In this example, it is assumed that RT2 has a completely up to
date database. In that case, RT2 goes immediately into Full
state. RT1 will go into Full state after updating the necessary
parts of its database. This is done by sending Link State
Request Packets, and receiving Link State Update Packets in
response. Note that, while RT1 has waited until a complete set
of Database Description Packets has been received (from RT2)
before sending any Link State Request Packets, this need not be
the case. RT1 could have interleaved the sending of Link State
Request Packets with the reception of Database Description

BOCA RATON — A deal in which the Community Redevelopment Agency was to get a $475,000 loan today, so it could buy Florida East Coast Railway`s downtown depot from the city and sell it to the Boca Raton Historical Society, may not go through as planned.
The redevelopment agency approved a contract Wednesday night with the historical society, adding a last-minute provision requiring the society to pay back the money on a regular schedule over a two-year period.
But agency member Clement C. Winke Jr., who doubles as chairman of the society, said he could not sign the contract without taking the provision back to his board for approval.
Winke was backed by fellow agency board member Jamie Snyder, who also is a member of the society.
Without the society`s commitment, however, the agency may not be able to get the loan it needs to buy the landmark depot, agency chairman Glenn Murray said after the two-hour special meeting.
The agency already has paid $100,000 to Fort Lauderdale restaurant owner Sam Hougasian to acquire his initial lease to the depot.
If the project is blocked today, city officials said, it would be the second time in less than a month.
The project was held up the last week in April when, during a routine check on ownership of the depot land, it was discovered the railway company did not have clear title.
``That problem has been resolved,`` Murray said. ``We realized the clause (in question) didn`t apply to us.``
Winke said he did not have enough time to call a special meeting of the society board before today`s meeting of city officials, agency members and bank representatives.
A special meeting of the society board was held before the agency`s Wednesday meeting, Winke said. The contract, without a provision for specific, periodic payments, was approved by the board, Winke said.

|Multiple instances of Tomcat Crash at the same time
|Sun, 02 Apr 2006 05:40:29 GMT
Hi, In my system I have multiple instances of Tomcat(different ports) running on the same machine. For the past few days I am noticing all these instances under this machine went down abruptly with out any log information. I checked in all the logs access log, host log, crash log no exception or any message in any of these logs.. verified the machines event viewer and other memory resources.Fortunately we have an small application to watch this tomcat status and if it didn't respond then this application will start the servers which are not responding. No JVM crash or any other log messages in my application also, here are the things which I want to know 1. Why there is no log information found for this type of kill or crash? 2. Is there a place to configure Tomcat not to die unless a shutdown command issued from the authenticated users? 3. I reproduced the same by killing the tomcat server from the task manager? Is there a way to avoid this type of crash or killing? Appreciate any help regarding this ASAP. Thanks, Senthil. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

How to do host access control
Last modified: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 11:15 PM
This article explains how you can control access to the remote host machine. For example, it is useful if you want to allow only certain PCs to access the host.
By default, GDM does not come with a feature to control who can access the service. Therefore, you have to use TCP-Wrapper. In this example, we will use TCP-WRAPPER to allow or deny access from the certain host PCs.
TCP-WRAPPER uses files /etc/hosts.deny, /etc/host.allow to configure host access control. To deny all host but your PC, you will add the following line to /etc/hosts.deny:
gdm : ALL
And, allow your PC's IP address in /etc/hosts.allow like the following example:
gdm : 192.168.1.14
Also, to deny access from a certain host, you would add its IP address in /etc/hosts.deny like the following example:
Note: You have to replace the IP address with the real one.

"All professors did a great job with presenting the material clearly, thoroughly, and concisely, especially given their time constraints."
"The courses offered a view into the Brazilian legal system from qualified instructors, many who were able to compare and contrast the Brazilian legal system with
the American system."
Rio Students, 2016
"I benefited in a variety of ways. For starters, I feel like I am expert on conservation and urbanization efforts in Rio. That's how great the readings, speakers and lectures
were. I am also inspired to incorporate some of the needs of people living in favelas into the long-term strategic goals of a non-profit organization I am currently starting. Twenty years from now,
I'll still be finding new ways I benefited from this course."
"The classes were very specific to Brazil but connected issues to similar situations back home. I liked going to both Rio and Nova Friburgo as it provided as much of a
cross-section of Brazil as a month-long program could provide."
Rio Students, 2014
"Professor Jacobs did a fantastic overview of mediation and applied it well to environmental circumstances. Professor Crawford was extremely knowledgeable on all things
Brazil both currently and historically."
"The ability to ground classroom concepts through exploration of one of the world's most beautiful cities is unrivaled. From white sandy beaches to Samba clubs,
from architecture to it's culturally rich people- choosing to study abroad in Brazil was the best choice of my summer".
Rio Students, 2013
"Professor Fernandes was so wonderful, he really knew his stuff. His materials are well written and he consistently reviewed the material at the beginning of each class.
Also, the PowerPoint overviews were very helpful."
"In addition to being a good professor, Professor Crawford was an amazing leader for the trip with knowledge about Rio that was invaluable."
Rio Students, 2012
"This was my third time to study in Brazil and was by far the most beneficial. The professors chosen to lead the program were amazing,
providing us with a wonderful learning dynamic balanced between instruction, face-time with some of South America's best attorneys, and a global perspective on the
practice of law that would be impossible to get at home... I had ambitions of clerking with a local firm in Rio after the program, and by the end of the program, with the help of the professors,
I had offers from two major firms to stay in Brazil for the rest of the summer."
Derek DuBois, U. of Houston '08
"The Rio Summer Program gives students a unique inside look deep in the heart of this amazing city. We... had the opportunity to interact with
Cariocas from all walks of life such as practicing attorneys, hippie fair merchants, scientists, doctors, other Brazilian students, social workers, policemen and even with a
kind and friendly group of favela residents."
Luis Guerra, Nova Southeastern '06
Max Holland, Gerogia State '13, attended the summer program in 2012 and was published in ILSA Quarterly.
Read Max's Reflexions on Studying Abroad
Karen Shelley, Georgia State '08, attended the summer program in 2007 and was the recipient of the College of Law's Johann Droogman's scholarship.
Read Karen's Rio Story
Jad Atallah, Georgia State '08 wrote the essay in the attached link and submitted it for publication in the ABA Student Lawyer magazine. They selected it for publication.
Read Jad's testimonial
Aisha Saeed, Georgia State '07, attended the Program in 2006 and said that it helped her focus her on what she wanted to do: "My experiences with the children I met in [the favelas in] Brazil was a factor in pursuing the [Equal Justice Works] fellowship and my memories of the beautiful children I met continues to fuel my passion and motivation to work on behalf of children."

Farewell to the Gypsy Wagons
All good things must come to an end, and the Gypsy Wagons' time here at Ravenwood Castle is no exception. After being a part of the Ravenwood realm for nearly two decades, the nomadic wagons have pulled up stakes and moved on.
Though we are sad to see the wagons go, their departure has opened the way for an exciting expansion to the Medieval Village. The first additions to this new section of the Village are two brand new accommodations, the Baker's and Brewer's Cottages! Once complete, this area will also feature a hillside deck perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view, and a communal fire pit and gathering area.
We wish the wagons a fond farewell!
