 Have you heard about renewable energy?

The history of renewable energy is fascinating. We posted a while back about early efforts to harness the power of waves. You may also be interested to learn more about the 19th century work of Mouchot and Ericsson, early pioneers of solar thermal concentrators (CSP solar thermal power).
Early schematics of Augustin Mouchot’s Solar Concentrator.
Augustin Mouchot taught secondary school mathematics from 1852-1871, during which time he embarked on a series of experiments in the conversion of solar energy into useful work. His proof-of-concept designs were so successful that he obtained support from the French government to pursue the research full-time. His work was inspired and informed by that of Horace-Bénédict de Saussure (who had constructed the first successful solar oven in 1767) and Claude Pouillet (who invented the Pyrheliometer in 1838).
Mouchot worked on his most ambitious device in the sunny conditions of French Algeria and brought it back for demonstration at the Universal Exhibition in Paris of 1878. There he won the Gold Medal, impressing the judges with the production of ice from the power of the sun.
Unfortunately, the falling price of coal, driven by efficiencies of transport and free trade agreements with Britain, meant that Mouchot’s work would soon be deemed unnecessary and his funding was cut soon after his triumph at the Universal Exhibition.
His assistant, Abel Pifre, would continue his work, however, and demonstrated a solar powered printing press in the Jardin des Tuileries in 1882. Despite cloudy conditions that day, the machine printed 500 copies per hour of Le Journal du Soleil, a newspaper written specially for the demonstration.
Meanwhile, the great inventor and engineer John Ericsson had decided to devote the last years of his life to similar pursuits. His work on solar engines spanned the 1870s and 1880s. Instead of relying on steam, he utilized his version of the heat engine, a device that would prove very commercially successful when powered with more conventional fuel sources such as gas.
“You will probably be surprised when I say that the sun-motor is nearer perfection than the steam-engine,” [Ericsson] wrote one friend, “but until coal mines are exhausted its value will not be fully acknowledged.” He calculated that solar power cost about ten times as much as coal, so that until coal began to run out, solar power would not be economically feasible. But this, to him, was not a sign of failure—there was no question that fossil fuels would indeed run out someday.
The great engineer maintained an unshakeable belief in the future of solar power to his last breath; he had set up a large engine in his backyard and was still perfecting it when he collapsed in early 1889. Though his doctor made him rest, Ericsson could not sleep at night: he complained that he could not stop thinking about his work yet to be done.
Both Mouchot and Ericsson were driven by the prescient understanding that access to coal, the predominant fossil fuel of the time, would eventually run out. And while, new discoveries of petroleum and natural gas have extended our inexpensive access to energy, we are finally now, 140 years later, reaching a time when their predictions are coming true. For the wisdom behind the premise is still as valid today as it was then—nothing that is finite can last forever. These inventors were so far ahead of their time, it is almost scary.

 Describe the deal that Alibaba and the IOC signed in January 2018.

When the Chinese businessman Jack Ma set up a fledgling e-commerce site in 1999 he called it Alibaba, drawing on the universal appeal of the One Thousand And One Nights character and his cry “Open Sesame”, which unlocked a cave containing vast treasures. It proved a prescient decision, as Alibaba become one of the world’s richest companies. On Thursday, in another sign of Chinese companies’ increasing willingness to flex their financial muscle and sign major global sporting deals, Ma was happily handing over millions of dollars after agreeing what he called a “historical” deal for Alibaba to be a leading sponsor of the summer and winter Olympics until 2028.
Under the terms of the deal, announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Alibaba joins McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Visa on the International Olympic Committee’s highest level TOP partnership programme for the next six Games, as well becoming the IOC’s official Cloud Services and e-commerce platform services partner. It will also become a partner in the Olympic Channel, a digital TV service intended to promote the games to younger sports fans.
The IOC president, Thomas Bach, hailed the deal and said it showed the IOC was serious in trying to play more sport and “get the couch potatoes off the couch”. While neither the IOC nor Alibaba would comment on the sums involved, informed analysts told the Guardian that it could ultimately add over $1bn to the IOC’s coffers by the time it concludes in 11 years’ time.
Michael Payne, who was director of marketing and television for the IOC for 20 years and spent a year working with the IOC and Alibaba on the deal, said he believed that it was the most “groundbreaking strategic partnership that the IOC has yet entered into”.
“It is far more than a sponsorship,” he said. “It is getting into revolutionising the technology management in support of the Games, including the latest in digital technology and social engagement. It is about developing the Olympic Channel. And it is about getting into global e-commerce, and there probably isn’t a stronger company in the world as Alibaba in that space.
The IOC marketing director Timo Lumme said that Alibaba could also be involved in other areas in the future, including ticketing. Lumme said that more than one company was involved in the tender process, but swiftly added that it was apparent Alibaba was “far and away the partner of choice due to the length and breadth of their commitment”.
It is only the second time that a Chinese company has been a top tier Olympic sponsor, following on from the computer firm Lenovo at the 2008 Beijing Games, although last year Dalian Wanda, led by China’s richest man Wang Jianlin, paid $1.2 billion for Infront, the company that sells broadcast rights for the next two World Cups.
Simon Chadwick, professor of sports enterprise at the University of Salford and an expert on China, said he believed that such deals were likely to become increasingly common given the growing emphasis on sport in the country – and its willingness to use soft power to exert political influence.
Over the past two years, Chinese companies have spent billions on sport – including buying up European football clubs and media rights agencies – after President Xi Jinping urged them to help transform China into a “great sports nation”. Alibaba also owns half of China’s most successful soccer club, Guangzhou Evergrande and has said it would spend $100m over 10 years in an effort to popularise rugby in China. In 2015, Wanda spent $52m for a 20% stake in Atlético Madrid.
In the past few weeks that spending has been ramped up to staggering levels, with the Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG signing the Brazilian Oscar from Chelsea for £52m – after agreeing to pay him £400,000 a week, and the Argentina striker Carlos Tevez agreeing a £615,000 a week contract after moving to China from Boca Juniors.

 Can you provide an overview of Redwood Materials and its connection to Tesla?

That’s the tagline on Redwood Materials’ sparse website.
The company was created earlier this year and based on the SEC filing, only two people are behind the company: JB Straubel, Tesla co-founder and current CTO at the automaker, and Andrew Stevenson, Tesla’s head of special projects.
They listed the company as being based in Redwood, California – hence the name. The SEC filing also discloses a $2 million investment in the company from an undisclosed investor last month.
We asked Tesla for a comment since everything points to the company being behind this new startup and we will update if we get an answer. Though to be fair, Straubel has been known to invest in companies without necessarily any involvement with Tesla, like his backing of a new energy storage startup Axiom Exergy.
Straubel has been particularly involved in the supply chain for the Gigafactory 1 and expressed interest in recycling minerals. Last year, he said that Tesla already set up a recycling facility at the factory in Nevada and explained how Tesla prefers to mine used battery packs instead of actual minerals.
As for Stevenson, he recently highlighted “re-thinking the materials supply chain” as an area of focus during a keynote address titled, “Opportunities for Students in Building a Sustainable Energy Future,” for Carnegie Mellon’s 2017 Energy Week on March 28.
Tesla’s need for materials is expected to increase significantly in the coming years as the company plans to increase its production from 80,000 vehicles last year to 1 million vehicles in 2020.
The Gigafactory 1 in Nevada alone will require incredible quantities of raw materials for battery production, especially nickel, graphite, lithium, cobalt, copper, and manganese.
While managing a supply chain of mining companies is undeniably part of it, Tesla always made it clear that recycling will also account for a significant part in the long-term as battery packs are depleted and can be reuse to make new ones. Right now, it’s only a small part of the business since most of Tesla’s packs are less than 5 years old, but 10, 15, or 20 years from now, the company will likely have a constant supply of old battery packs with minerals potentially worth thousands of dollars and much more easily accessible.

 What do you make of this situation?

This screen faces out into the retail store with people constantly wandering past it only a couple of metres away, well within the distance required to observe the contents off it. I've obfuscated parts of the screen above because no way, no how would I want to show this information publicly, especially my wife's password. She was pretty shocked when I showed her this as it was precisely the same verbal password as she used to authenticate to her bank. (Sidenote: she's an avid 1Password user and has been since 2011, this password dated back a couple of decades when, like most people still do today, she had reused it extensively).
I did raise this directly with Telstra to which they replied "I want to make sure that this is fully investigated, it's definitely concerning". Yet clearly, this is standard practice with the terminals the operators use specifically designed to face into the public areas of the store and the interfaces they use obviously designed to show the password (and equally obvious, the passwords are not stored as secure cryptographic hashes). That was 27 days ago and to date, there's been no follow-up from Telstra despite being told they'll "update me soon".
As of today, Chrome will show a "Not secure" warning when an unencrypted page requests passwords or credit cards (which appears to be the case here) or when entering text into a form field. In the next few months, it will show all pages requested over an unencrypted connection as "Not secure". The risk this poses is that any intermediary able to intercept the traffic has the ability to read and modify the data (and yes, that applies to internal company networks as well).
Alarmingly, this is not unprecedented and I've been blocked before myself for reporting a security incident. But it's totally unacceptable behaviour on behalf of any organisation, let alone one of our largest telcos.
The operator had to log into multiple systems and after a few password authentication failure attempts in each one of these systems due to typos by the operator I was able to assertion exactly what their username and password is. No video recording or photos needed.
Just how much can you do with those credentials? Assuming you have access to an unattended terminal as I did earlier on (albeit one that was already unlocked), the mind boggles. These are not super-sophisticated security concepts either, they're fundamental basics that most organisations drill into their people: protect what's on your screen, don't allow other people to observe your password, always lock an unattended terminal.
Here's the bigger issue that concerns me in both the Telstra and Optus cases: the security of our telecommunication accounts is increasingly paramount these days. Our phone numbers are used for all sorts of identity verification processes with other services; weaknesses in telco security translate directly through to compromises of email, bank and social accounts; there are some absolute horror stories out there. Want to login to your myGov account using 2FA? They'll send you an SMS and yes, that's in addition to entering your credentials but the whole point of 2FA is that it should be resilient to credential theft!
These are not simple fixes: store layouts need changing to protect customer privacy, customer password storage is obviously insufficient, operator practices need to evolve and let's face it, SMS is a very weak means of identity verification, largely because of deficiencies on the telcos' side. But they're important issues in an era of increasing dependency on mobile and one would hope that at the very least, Telstra and Optus would seek to improve the situation rather than simply ignoring or blocking complaints from disgruntled customers.

 Explain how the fiat money system affects the economic situation in rural areas and has resulted in stagnation of wages.

Moreover, numerous studies show that the opportunities and expectations of coming generations to earn more than their parents have worsened significantly. While the probability that members of the baby boomer generation would earn more than their parents was 62%, this probability has declined to 50% for generations born since 1980.2 Income equality has deteriorated dramatically over time as well. The share of national income earned by the bottom 90% of the US population has decreased from 66% in 1980 to 50% today.3 Contrary to the picture painted by numerous macroeconomic statistics, the economic situation is apparently not as bright as it is often portrayed.
What cannot be quantified by statistical aggregates is the cause of the economic erosion suffered by the middle class, which can ultimately be traced back to our monetary system. The low interest rate environment orchestrated by central banks has not only failed to solve our economic problems, but is – in keeping with the business cycle theory developed by Mises and Hayek – the very cause of the business cycle.
Apart from creating the business cycle, ZIRP and NIRP-policies of central banks also result in an ever more pronounced concentration of incomes and wealth. In this context, it is crucial to understand the so-called Cantillon effect, which we have also discussed comprehensively in our book. As we point out there, when newly created money is introduced, it enters the economy at discrete points, it cannot be distributed evenly across the entire economy. Instead, every expansion of the money supply results in a transfer of wealth: the early receivers of new money can purchase goods at their existing prices and thus gain purchasing power, whereas later receivers of new money can only buy goods at prices that have already increased, and are losing purchasing power as a result. In today's monetary system, it is primarily commercial banks, the government and large corporations with good financial market access that are benefiting as the earliest receivers of newly created money, while all other sectors are losing out – the further removed from the source of money creation they are, the bigger their losses.
It is conspicuous that the Trump election and Brexit met with high approval rates in largely rural areas in the US and Great Britain, while metropolitan areas tended to vote in favor of the status quo (i.e., for Hillary Clinton or Remain).
The economic situation in these regions undoubtedly plays a role in this. While large cities have often benefited from the fiat money system due to their proximity to politics and financial markets, many rural areas are drying up economically. These regions were often hit the hardest by deindustrialization.
The same applies to hourly wages as well: between 1973 and 2015 net productivity grew by 73.4%, while the hourly wage of the average US worker rose by a mere 11.1% in inflation-adjusted terms, and thus effectively stagnated. Viewed from this perspective, it is not surprising that voters are increasingly warming up to populist ideas.

 Describe the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Jews arrested during the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto in Poland by the SS, sent to be gassed at Treblinka extermination camp.
The Nazis invaded Poland in September of 1939. By October of 1940, they had confined nearly 400,000 Jews in a 3.5 square mile area of Warsaw which normally housed about 160,000. The area was surrounded by a wall 10 feet high and was sealed off on November 15, 1940. Jews were forbidden to go outside the area on penalty of being shot on sight. No contact with the outside world was allowed.
Hans Frank, the Nazi Gauleiter (governor) of occupied Poland, declared in 1941, "I ask nothing of the Jews except that they should disappear."
Thus the Nazis refused to allow enough food into the ghetto to keep the Jews healthy, forcing them to survive on a bowl of soup a day. Soon, 300 to 400 persons died each day in the ghetto from starvation and disease. By July of 1942, about 80,000 Jews had perished.
On July 22, 1942, the SS, on orders from Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler, began a massive "resettlement" of the Jews, taking them out of the ghetto to extermination camps (mainly Treblinka) where they were to be gassed. The Jewish Council in the ghetto was ordered to deliver 6000 persons a day for deportation. In just two months, a total of 310,322 Jews were sent to their deaths in Nazi extermination camps. By the end of September only 60,000 Jews remained.
In January of 1943, Himmler ordered the SS to remove the remaining 60,000 Jews from the ghetto by February 15.
However, the remaining Jews knew by now that deportation meant death and chose to resist. A Jewish Fighting Organization, ZOB, had been formed, consisting of 22 groups, each having 20 to 30 men, boys and some women. The group had sent desperate appeals for weapons to anti-Nazi Poles outside the ghetto and were supplied with enough weapons to successfully resist deportation by attacking from rooftops, cellars and attics. As a result, 20 Germans were killed and 50 wounded.
The Jewish resistance, combined with the severe winter weather and a shortage of trains, prevented the SS from meeting Himmler's February deadline.
In the spring, Himmler ordered the SS to conduct a "special action" against the Jews that would clear out the entire ghetto in just three days. By now, the size of the ghetto had been reduced to an area measuring only 1,000 yards by 300 yards.
On Monday, April 19, 1943, the Jewish feast of Passover, over 2000 Waffen SS soldiers under the command of SS General Jürgen Stroop attacked with tanks, artillery and flame throwers. A fierce battle erupted between the heavily armed Germans and 1200 Jews armed with smuggled in pistols, rifles, a few machine guns, grenades and Molotov cocktails.
The first attack by the SS was repulsed by the Jews, leaving 12 Germans dead. The Germans renewed the attack, but found it difficult to kill or capture the small battle groups of Jews, who would fight, then retreat through a maze of cellars, sewers and other hidden passageways to escape capture.
On the fifth day of the battle, an infuriated Himmler ordered the SS to comb out the ghetto "with the greatest severity and relentless tenacity." SS General Stroop decided to burn down the entire ghetto, block by block.
A report filed by Stroop described the scene: "The Jews stayed in the burning buildings until because of the fear of being burned alive they jumped down from the upper stories…With their bones broken, they still tried to crawl across the street into buildings which had not yet been set on fire…Despite the danger of being burned alive the Jews and bandits often preferred to return into the flames rather than risk being caught by us."
The burnings and renewed German attacks continued, but the Jews in Warsaw resisted for a total of 28 days.
On May 16, 1943, amid the relentless German assault, the Jewish resistance finally ended. Stroop sent a battle report stating, "The former Jewish quarter of Warsaw is no longer in existence. The large scale action was terminated at 2015 hours by blowing up the Warsaw synagogue…Total number of Jews dealt with: 56,065, including both Jews caught and Jews whose extermination can be proved."
Polish sources estimated 300 Germans were killed and 1000 wounded.

 What can you tell me about the new power saving optimizations for Android Marshmallow?

Last 17th August we did receive the news about the first official release of Android 6.0, codenamed “Marshmallow”. This milestone includes several new features and improvements for both final users and developers. One of the most interesting aspects is the new set of power saving optimizations (or constraints, if you look at them as a developer) which raises the bar of future applications. With this recent move, remote notifications (pushes) will become essential for the success of long running applications.
I recommend this article by Dave Smith, which gives more insight into the new ‘Doze mode’, even if some details may have changed since the time of writing, three months ago. However we can clearly see the major cause of this set of constraints: the reduced battery life produced by resource-hungry applications, which began to be addressed with the addition of the power saving mode on Android Lollipop. The consequence of this new policy is the increased leading role of push notifications as the essential mechanism to reconcile shorter resource availability with long life-cycle applications.
Why notification pushes are now “a must” for most applications?
Network access is disabled, unless your app receives a high-priority Google Cloud Messaging tickle.
Alarms scheduled using the AlarmManager class are deferred, unless you have exempted them using the setAndAllowWhileIdle() method.
The system does not permit syncs or jobs for your sync adapters.
However you see what is the goal: commit your application to a more efficient battery usage. And if you are going to run continuously don’t hide it to the user. Make him clearly aware that you are consuming resources, so he can later take the decision of closing it.
Imagine for instance a conversation application like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Skype, Conversations, etc. Usually these kind of apps use a connection-oriented protocol under the hood. These applications don’t show an ongoing UI notification (i.e., showing you are currently online) because these use background services to manage the ongoing connection. However using this mechanism would become problematic on Android 6, because background processing will be suspended. This means that your IM application would be disconnected for (possibly) long periods. How to overcome this limitation?. By using notification pushes to notify the user about incoming messages.
Of course, the user can whitelist applications using the Settings app to exclude them from these limitations, but this is a privilege you shouldn’t assume anymore for your application. And I think this is a good motivation to make applications more efficient and enhance the user experience on Android devices.
Because GCM pushes are sent by default with normal priority, that means that you don’t have networking access upon push reception unless you set them as high priority. It is yet not clear from the official documentation, although some users receive delayed normal priority GCM pushes when device is in doze mode. In either case, you should evaluate if your application is of real-time nature at the time of assigning priorities to your pushes.
There is an official guide to test applications against these two device modes. Unfortunately there are still some bugs that need to be addressed on this area, but this should be the starting point to check that your applications are prepared to the new requirements.
With the recent launch of Android 6 (API 23) Google seeks to engage developers to be good citizens on the Android ecosystem and help with battery life, relying on Google Cloud Messaging whenever this is possible. They still provide a last workaround for this set of policies (foreground services) but your application now takes a much higher risk to be uninstalled or simply disabled by the final user because placing your application permanently in the notification area is not an option for many of them. The bottom line is that Android applications are not expected to be constantly running and GCM is proposed as the main platform for this to happen.
Only top messaging apps can expect to be tolerated by user in the notification area, so the developer needs to switch to GCM or at least have an option to support it, otherwise, be prepared to be uninstalled by users.
It’s time to be more efficient and adjust your new or existing applications to use the small (and sparse) time slots you will have to synchronize your application state in the new Android world.

 Have you heard about Sony's patent for backwards compatibility on the PS5?

A patent filed by Sony has emerged, which appears to provide a potential means of making PS4 games backwards-compatible on the forthcoming PlayStation 5.
The patent was filed in the US as long ago as November 2016, so it’s entirely possible that it may already have been used to make PS1 and PS2 remasters work on the PS4.
Essentially, it pertains to swapping in improved textures and higher-resolution models without rewriting the original game code, which sounds a lot like backwards compatibility. In the PS2 and early models of the PS3, Sony achieved backwards compatibility by essentially using single-chip versions of the PS1 and PS2. But that was an expensive way of tackling the problem of backwards compatibility and, since the PS4 moved to a PC-like architecture, Sony gambled on not making it backwards compatible.
Instead, it launched a remastering programme, but gamers are keen to see backwards compatibility return for the PlayStation 5. The prospect of using a quick and easy means of upscaling old games and getting them to work could effectively provide that, hence the excitement around the discovery of Sony’s patent.

 Describe the interview with Rebekah Isaacs at Ace Comic Con.

We sat down with Rebekah Isaacs at Long Island’s Ace Comic Con. While many fans know Rebekah’s work across a myriad of comics publishers, fans gush over her work in Dark Horse’s BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER comics! ComicsVerse’s Fabio Castelblanco discussed the Buffyverse with Rebekah in addition to other adaptations Rebekah would love to create art for!
ComicsVerse: Hey guys, I’m Fabio, I’m here with Rebekah Isaacs. We are at Ace Comic Con Long Island. You’re watching ComicsVerse.
Rebekah, you are an artist for BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, the comics, for several years now. What do you think BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER owes the success for its longevity? Why do you think people are so, like they relate to it so well, after all these years?
Rebekah Isaacs: I think it’s the development of the characters. They’re always changing and I think it was one of the first shows, especially for young people, that did that on televisions, that A, had a really complex and very flawed female protagonist. I mean she’s a strong female character, but she’s a fully fleshed out character, and that was, I think, one of the first big examples of that in television, at least American television, and all the other characters have, they are so real, and they have so much depth and layers to them that keep peeling off and becoming exposed throughout the series. I think that’s probably the biggest draw to it, even today.
And another I think is that, you know one of the main themes of the show is friendship and loyalty and a family, a family that isn’t necessarily related to you, friends that become your family and that’s something that no matter how much visual effects advance and how, you know, silly some of the things in the show might look 20 years in, those kinds of themes will never go out of style and never stop affecting people.
ComicsVerse: Yeah, I definitely agree with that. Also, something I like about the comic is that you’re basing the designs off of actual actors and everything but, something that I appreciate is that they look like comic book versions of those actors, whereas when I was reading the STAR WARS comic, I see them when they have Luke, Leia, and Han, it looks like they took a picture of them and put them in a comic, it just feels very jarring. So how do you go about creating a comical version of these real-life actors?
Rebekah Isaacs: You know, it’s challenging. I still am not sure I’m entirely successful with certain characters. That was something that Joss specifically asked us to do, starting with George’s mission on season eight, he said that he didn’t want Buffy to look like Sarah Michelle Gellar, he wanted Buffy to look like Buffy, so he wanted the essence of the character but not necessarily a photo-realistic likeness of her. And I mean, every artist has a different way of approaching that, for me, I try to just study the faces as much as I could without even drawing them sometimes, just to see what they say, their most prominent feature is, what really makes them stand out.
You know for me, Buffy, her nose is probably her most distinguishing feature, Angel it’s his brow line and his hair, Spike is the cheekbones, and then I just try to get everything around those distinguishing features as generally close as I can but if you have that one or two really, really distinguishing features then they’re generally very recognizable. I personally try not to use photo reference, because I think it makes my drawings look crazy like they look like they’ve been put through a funhouse mirror, I just can’t draw that way unless I trace, you know? So it’s, I try to just sort of get them in my head as much as I can so that I’m drawing from memory as much as possible.
ComicsVerse: Well you do a really good job on that.
ComicsVerse: For the last question, is there any series or show that you would like to do a comic book version of?
Rebekah Isaacs: Hmm, that’s a good question. What do I like that hasn’t been? Oh, well, one of my favorite book series ever is the Hyperion series, by I think, it’s Dan Simmons, is the name or maybe it’s Dave Simmons, um I should know if it’s one of my favorites! Dave Simmons, okay. Dan, Dan, yes! I think though, it’s been rumored to be in production with HBO for awhile. So, I might have missed the boat on that but you know, there’s always comic spin-offs of TV shows too so that would be incredible because it’s just, I mean, it’s epic on a scale that makes LORD OF THE RINGS look like a child’s nursery rhyme, so it would be, you could have so much fun designing things for that. I would really enjoy that.
ComicsVerse: That would be awesome if you could do that. Well, thank you so much. Guys, this has been Rebekah Isaacs at Ace Comic Con Long Island. Be sure to check out any of our podcasts, interviews, and articles at ComicsVerse.com! Thank you so much.

 Have you heard anything about China's promises to open up its markets?

China needs to make good on its own repeated calls to open up its markets, or face consequences, warned the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
In recent years, China has publicly avowed to do so, with President Xi Jinping making speeches on openness and globalization. In January, China's State Council released a document on measures to promote fair, open markets and to attract more foreign investment. But critics say China's many words have few actions behind them.
"We don't know if China will implement its promises. As business people we have to be accountable for our business today, we can't build our future plans on only dreams," Mats Harborn, president of the EU Chamber of Commerce in China, told CNBC. "We need to have tangible measures from the Chinese state to show that China is going down the path of more openness."
A customer purchases goods at a supermarket on September 9, 2017 in Taiyuan, China.
European business "is suffering from accumulated 'promise fatigue,' having witnessed a litany of assurances over recent years that never quite materialized," the EU Chamber wrote in its latest paper. "It appears that in many areas, China is no longer opening up, but selectively closing up."
Foreign firms have long complained of an uneven playing field and an opaque regulatory environment when it comes to China. About 54 percent of European firms say they perceive they're treated less favorably than domestic companies, according to the Chamber.
The Chamber urged China to take advantage of a top leadership shuffle in October to move forward with reforms. The paper, which draws on observations and recommendations of the Chamber's more than 1,600 member companies, supports continued engagement between China and Europe.
It also calls for the Chinese government to allow foreign enterprises to take a greater role in setting industry standards and to have access to policies that support research and development.
Beijing must also find better ways to entice foreign investment and it should move away from setting up special trade and investment zones with short-term incentives. That practice isn't as successful in luring European firms, which make investment decisions based on market principles, such as the need to expand or to match growing demand, the paper said.
China's lack of reciprocity translates to less advanced offerings for its own citizens, the Chamber said. Without greater openness from China, it also means European governments have a harder time convincing their countries that trade and investment contribute to a better economic future especially when there are rising populist views against globalization.
"If China is ultimately unwilling to offer reciprocal access to its own market, it cannot assume that it will indefinitely continue to enjoy open and unhindered access to the EU's," the paper warned. "The liberal approach to [mergers and acquisitions] will only work if all parties move toward equal access and the removal of barriers, otherwise it is politically untenable."
Indeed, the amount of money flowing both ways is vastly different: Chinese investment into the EU remained stable at $10.4 billion in the first half of this year, while European business into China dropped by 23 percent to $3.7 billion during the same period.
As things stand, international companies must often find a local partner to work with in order to do business in the world's second-largest economy, a restriction that they worry could expose them to the theft of intellectual property or trade secrets.
And regulatory barriers are wide-reaching: A cybersecurity law that went into effect in June was so broad and vague that it created uncertainty for how businesses should operate, the Chamber said.
Another issue is China's practice of pilot programs — authorities "overcomplicated the process" by selecting 200 cities to trial health-care reforms, with each setting its own purchasing policy for medical equipment. That means companies have to plan for 200 different markets, noted the paper.
"It seems to us that the authorities often times are using the old tool box in the new world and that is causing regulatory frameworks to be blurred, unclear and unpredictable."
The Chamber also called out sectors that are shutting out foreign firms, including agriculture, food and beverage. A new requirement for shipments of low-risk food products to have an official inspection certificates from foreign governments only creates cost and burden to businesses, and seems more about protecting Chinese producers than about food safety, noted the paper.
Chinese authorities recently banned a variety of soft cheese, such as French brie and camembert, and Italian gorgonzola, as the bacteria colonies on the dairy products weren't approved for import.
"We like cheese and we are now in discussions with the authorities to solve the problem," Harborn said. "We hope that through this dialogue we will come to a solution."

 Respond in 7 sentences. "What is the latest news on the release of visitor logs for Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence?"

Washington, D.C.—As part of ongoing litigation brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the National Security Archive (NSA) and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will turn over visitor logs for President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. CREW will publicly release the visitor logs upon receiving them by September 8th.
CREW, NSA and Knight sued for the release of visitor logs from the White House, Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. DHS claims to have no records of visitors at Trump Tower. The lawsuit is ongoing for the White House.
The Obama administration began releasing White House visitor logs in September 2009 to settle four lawsuits brought by CREW.
"We will be pressing the court for the full set of records that does exist."

 Describe the achievements of Sir David Percival Dalbreck Wilkie.

Sir David Percival Dalbreck Wilkie, (5 November 1882 – 28 August 1938), known to friends and colleagues as DPD, was among the first of the new breed of professors of surgery appointed at a relatively young age to develop surgical research and undergraduate teaching. At the University of Edinburgh, he established a surgical research laboratory from which was to emerge a cohort of young surgical researchers destined to become the largest dynasty of surgical professors yet seen in the British Isles. He is widely regarded as the father of British academic surgery.

 What is the latest news on Bitmain's IPO? Respond in 445 words.

Bitmian, the world’s dominant cryptocurrency mining chip producer, is filling for an initial public offering (IPO) potentially at $18 billion on this September with a market capitalization of $40 to $50 billion. If all goes well, it will be the largest IPO in the world, as thus, people are more concerned about the company’s financial condition.
Some cryptocurrency marketing commentators express their concern about Bitmain. Samson Mow, CSO of Blockstream indicated that Bitmian’ s Q2 revenue was a ‘disaster’ in a tweet. He pointed out that Bitmian is raising capital in a rapid speed, however, the firm is only showing its Q1 financial results to its pre-IPO investors while we are well into Q3.
Samson believes that Bitmain lost $600-700 million in Q2 due to a massive $1.24 billion USD in inventory. While the next generation miners has been rolled out by its rivals, like Avalon’s 7nm 30T miner, Bitmain AntMiner S9’s price has dropped by 85% from highs at $4,400 to $536.
It is worth pondering that, Why we haven’t seen a new Antminer in a while in such a competitive market. According to some informed sources, Bitmain is eager to release a new version of its ASIC as the competition was closing in to keep their competitive edge over the crypto hardware market. However, Bitmain’s risk wafer on 16nm/12nm/10nm all failed and lost around 4 billion yuan (US$581.5 million).
Anther big issue embarrasses Bitmain is its BCH holdings on market. According to its financial statement, as of December 2017, Bitmain held about 841.8k BCH and 36.8k BTC, however, three months later, their BCH holdings ballooned to over 1 million BCH.
Bitmain sold most of their bitcoin for Bcash. As bitcoin core developers disclosed the Bcash vulnerability, BTC price dropped a lot which also leaded to a significant loss in Bitmain’s balance sheets.
By launching an IPO, Bitmain has attempted to try and start divesting their BCH holdings and realize profits on those coins. With the raising fund, the firm may continued creating their next gen SHA256 ASIC.
However, except for those strong BCH believers, most crypto investors has no appetite about holding. As thus, Bitmain is holding a huge cache of BCH that has no liquid markets and no OTC demand.
Unless a bull market coming in the lead up to Bitmain’s ICO, it will be incredibly risk for any investors to buy into.
If they stuck to mining instead of colluded manipulation of the BCH, they would have faired so much better. They burnt a ton of their mining rewards holding up that market. Only 22k BTC & over 1m BCH, mining geniuses yer market morons. They should stick their core competency.

 Explain how special interests and money have corrupted American politics.

Gary Hart: Dare We Call It Oligarchy?
President George Bush, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter walk through the crowd during the funeral for Coretta Scott King at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Ga. on Feb. 7, 2006.
The lobbying/campaign finance/access matrix has corrupted American politics, divided our nation, and is well down the road to creating a system of political oligarchy.
Our Founders created a republic and, being keen students of the history of republics beginning with Athens, they knew that placing special and narrow interests ahead of the common good and the commonwealth was the corruption that destroyed republics. They feared this kind of corruption as the greatest danger to America’s success and survival.
By this standard, today’s American Republic is massively corrupt. Every interest group in our nation has staff lobbyists and hires lobbying firms. Thousands of lobbying firms now penetrate the halls of Congress as well as all State capitols and city halls. Those same lobbying firms collect funds for election and re-election campaigns. In exchange, they have access to legislatures and administrations, those who write the laws and make the regulations.
Worse still is the fact that, upon leaving office, Senators and House members are now becoming lobbyists and using their friendships and contacts to make millions of dollars. There are at least four hundred or more who have done so in recent years. Few if any of the Senators with whom I served in the 1970s and 80s ever became lobbyists.
With its monumentally wrong-headed Citizens United decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has now sanctioned this corruption and eliminated any chance for control of campaign contributions.
We have created what came to be known in late 17th and 18th century England as a division between the Court and the Country. The Court is composed of networks of political office holders and insiders, their lobbying and finance contacts, the policy centers which they inhabit between administrations, the offices they rotate in and out of, and a deep sense of shared entitlement, power, preference, and prerogative. The Country is all the rest of us.
It would be comical if it were not so tragic that the fashion of the day is to decry the evil of “Washington” by those already there and desperately seeking to stay in the middle of it.
The net affect of the money machine — lobbyists, fund raisers, and campaign consultants — is to severely narrow the field of those who can compete for office, especially national office. If the national presidency were to pass back and forth between two or three families in any Latin American nation we would call it an oligarchy.
But if those families can use carefully built political networks to raise a billion, or perhaps it is now multiple billions, of dollars to seek the presidency, what hope is there for the new voice, the fresh ideas, the innovative policies to address new 21st century realities?
If the corruption of our Republic by interests groups and their money, governance by a Court of rotating insiders, and fresh blood strangled from the political process is the ultimate product of a deck stacked against the Country, we are in for a precarious time in American history.
We will have created a political system and some form of government new in our history. But it will most surely not be the Republic of our Founders hopes and dreams.
Gary Hart, a former United States Senator, is the author of the The Republic of Conscience to be published July the 4th.

 What are the two common robot navigation paradigms?

The first is the world map paradigm, in which the robot or a connected system has a complete and detailed map of the world and a route is planned along that in advance accounting for obstacles. Basically, the robot has to think its way past or over every obstacle, which makes for a lot of programming.
The second is the subsumption architecture paradigm, in which a robot is first made so that it can survive environments it will find itself in, then equipped with mechanisms to seek goals. The robot then, without any idea of the map of the world, navigates toward Point B. The robot is robust and can stumble its way through obstacles without any thinking at all. The original Roomba vacuum cleaner was a pure subsumption beast.

 What did the International Humanist and Ethical Union's (IHEU) report on atheists' rights violations and discrimination globally find?

The report is a more comprehensive version of a similar study released last year that identified just seven countries where atheists faced capital punishment, only half of this year's total. It also found much more widespread discrimination against atheists around the world. "Our results show that the overwhelming majority of countries fail to respect the rights of atheists and freethinkers," the study explains, noting that laws in some countries prevent atheists from marrying, attending public school, participating as a citizen, holding public office, or just existing at all. The authors, citing a Gallup study, estimate that about 13 percent of the world's population is atheist, while 23 percent identify as simply "not religious."
Although not on the list of 13, Bangladesh receives some special attention in the report as a particular low-light. Several non-religious and atheist bloggers and journalists in the country have faced death threats and harassment this year in the wake of a series of government prosecutions for blasphemy. One blogger, Ahmed Rajib Haider, was murdered with a machete outside of his home. The report also incorporates assessment of general free speech protections in each country. Russia earned significant criticism in part because of its anti-LGBT "propaganda" laws. And North Korea, an aggressively secular state, received the report's lowest rating of "Grave Violations."
While there is some legal remedy for clear religious discrimination by the government, it can often go unchallenged in situations where it is difficult, or personally disadvantageous or hazardous, to take a stand against authority, for example in prisons, the military, and even some administrative contexts.
So, which countries earned a somewhat elusive "free and equal" rating from the IHEU? The best-ranked countries included Jamaica, Uruguay, Japan, Taiwan, and Belgium.

 Describe the effects of the Mocoa mudslide in Colombia.

The Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, arrived in Mocoa on Sunday to survey the crisis. Officials from the national disaster agency had counted 210 dead by Sunday morning, with 62 children among the victims. The government later revised the death toll up to 254.. A further 203 people were injured, many in a critical condition.
A spokesman for the local power utility said it could take two weeks to restore energy in the area. Without power, gas or telephone service and with little clean water, about 600 survivors spent Sunday in makeshift shelters, on high alert for any further rainfall that could trigger another mudslide.
Lists of children who could not find their parents circulated on social media to try to reunite families, while about 1,100 soldiers and police arrived to help the relief effort.
The disaster struck in the early hours of Saturday when the rushing waters of the Mocoa river and its tributaries converged on the capital of Putumayo province, catching many people by surprise as they slept.
One policeman, named as 24-year-old Deciderio Ospina, was killed as he responded to calls for help from residents whose homes were being flooded. Seeing the oncoming mudslide from his patrol truck, he leapt from the vehicle, according to a police report. His body was found 20km away, along with another 20 victims.
“We have a huge challenge to find the missing,” said the director of Colombia’s disaster agency, Carlos Iván Márquez, adding that 400 rescuers were scouring the riversides for victims and survivors while helicopters searched from the air.
One unidentified woman interviewed by government television said she had lost 11 family members in the mudslide, including her mother. Five of her loved ones had been identified in the morgue and the other six were still missing. “I feel like the world is going to end,” she said.
More than 1,000 emergency personnel, including soldiers and local police were deployed to help the rescue effort and to keep order. Some shops were looted overnight on Saturday by survivors searching for water.
On Saturday, Santos blamed the tragedy on climate change, saying that the accumulated rainfall in one night was almost half the amount Mocoa normally receives in the entire month of March.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis said he was “profoundly saddened” by the disaster, which struck the town of 40,000 with little warning after days of torrential rain. “I pray for the victims and want to assure those who weep for the missing of my closeness to them,” the pontiff said in a statement.
As official rescue efforts continued, residents searched for missing relatives on their own. Early on Sunday, Oscar Londono tried to reach his in-laws’ house but became disoriented when he found that the streets had disappeared. “There were bodies all over,” he told the Associated Press.
Rescue workers with the military helped him find his relatives, who were camped with other survivors.
The governor of Putumayo, Sorrel Aroca, told Caracol Radio that the local hospital was overwhelmed by the number of injured, and medicine and surgical supplies were being sent to the city.
Herman Granados, an anaesthesiologist, told reporters he worked throughout the night. “Under the mud, I am sure there are many more,” he said.
The Mocoa mudslide is the deadliest in a wave of flood-related disasters in South America in recent months. Floods and mudslides since the start of the year in Peru have left 101 people dead. In Ecuador, 21 people have died in flooding.
A landslide in Colombia’s rural south-west in November killed nine people, and another in October killed 10 people in the north of the country.
In 1985 nearly 25,000 people were killed after the Nevado del Ruiz volcano erupted, triggering a torrent of mud and debris that buried the town of Armero.

 Describe the Anaheim Resort District. Respond in 4 sentences.

The Anaheim Resort district is the area of the city of Anaheim, California that surrounds the Disneyland Resort, Anaheim GardenWalk, and Anaheim Convention Center. In addition to these three venues, the district is home to the Anaheim/Orange County Walk of Stars, hotel and the hospitality industry of Anaheim, Angel Stadium of Anaheim, and the Honda Center. In 2013, the City of Garden Grove announced that it would rebrand its stretch of Harbor Boulevard immediately south of Anaheim city limits as Grove District – Anaheim Resort, in partnership with the City of Anaheim to promote the Anaheim Resort District. This section contains nine resort hotels and a number of dining and shopping locations, and was joined by the Great Wolf Lodge hotel and waterpark in 2016.
