Introduction
The primary purpose of my usability test was to test the searching and filtering features of Etsy. My method was to give my three participants three tasks involving different items to search for, prioritizing different aspects. They were asked to articulate their thought process as they browsed the website, and to limit their use of the search bar as much as possible. The three tasks were as follows:
- You are on a tight budget and you need at least 10 face masks of any type.
- You are looking for your supplies for back to school/work, and you want the highest rated option.
- You are looking for a birthday present for a friend who likes gardening.
The demographic summary of my participants:
- 54 year old female business manager who spends roughly 40 hours a week online.
- 54 year old male lawyer who spends roughly 60 hours a week online.
- 15 year old male student who spends roughly 85 hours a week online.
The Home Page
Etsy as a whole did not prove to have many usability issues that I could visibly see prior to testing. The design and UI design appeared modern and simplistic upon participants' first viewing. Large amounts of white space and muted colors made for pleasant browsing. It's apparent based on the photos and layout what the purpose and target audience was, without too much reading of text.
Results
A couple of usability issues did turn up over the course of the tasks. Every one of the participants took note of the plethora of choices and options that are available to varying acceptance. The youngest enjoyed the options, whereas the older participants noted their preference for better curation and filtering capabilities when browsing without the search bar.
Notably, the "Sort by" button was not immediately noticeable to participants on the browser based site. It is debatable whether this was because of the lack of need to use it or because of poor design, but it did take a while for it to be discovered when it was needed. Additionally, on the mobile version of the site, there was no option to sort by "Top Customer Reviews", which prevented easy completion of the second task.
The second issue was that the quantity selection was not readily available until the checkout page. This was not a big issue for most of the participants, but it did add some uncertainty for items that people might want to buy in bulk.
Conclusion
Of all the findings from this usability test, a couple stood out that was shared by all participants. Every participant encountered some issue with either finding or utilizing the sorting feature effectively. The second common issue was that all participants appeared to be affected in some way by how much there was to look at. Although this might have been related to the design of the tasks themselves (perhaps too unspecific?), or the limitations in using the search bar, I still noticed several hints of participants being slightly overwhelmed by the amount of options.
Moving Forward
I would propose more testing with revised tasks that are designed based on what I've learned from the results. I would make the tasks more detailed so that there is a clearer sense of what to find. Finally, I would test both the desktop and mobile version of the site for all participants. This would help determine the effectiveness of particular design elements, as well as observing the general differences in user experience between the two.

Now that we've identified the scene we're going to be working with, our next step will be choosing which bands to use. In total, there are 11 bands - we'll use 3. Each band we choose will be mapped into one of the blue, green, or red color channels.
Some combinations are useful for illustrating certain natural or man-made features, others may just be interesting to look at. If any other users have created composites of this scene, you'll see them below. Each composite can be selected to learn more about what it can be useful for.

This note documents an important change to the white paper. This change was published on 2019-01-13.
In the original white paper, the first paragraph of the Democratization section was as follows:
To ensure complete democratization, we will deactivate all of our verifiers (verifier0.nyzo.co through verifier9.nyzo.co), and we will stop committing code to the nyzoVerifier repository on GitHub, within 12 months of the Genesis block. The repository will remain as a reference, but we hope that multiple other repositories will emerge to continue to support Nyzo. If we continued to develop the codebase ourselves, or if we turned the codebase over to others, this would be a de facto authoritative implementation of Nyzo. The Nyzo protocol is so simple that we think there should be several implementations that dominate the landscape, not a single authoritative implementation.
This paragraph has been replaced with the following two paragraphs:
To ensure complete democratization, we will deactivate all of our verifiers (verifier0.nyzo.co through
verifier9.nyzo.co) within 12 months of the Genesis block. We had originally planned to stop committing code to the
official Nyzo repository as well, continuing our work on forks or other implementations of Nyzo without revealing
our identities as original developers of Nyzo. We had planned this because we have seen too many open-source
projects that start out with great ideas from a small group or an individual, only to be held back later due
to deference to that group's or individual's opinions instead of the better ideas of the community at large.
Open source doesn't live up to its full potential when only one team controls all the important decisions.
However, we now feel that stopping contributions the official repository so soon after the start of the blockchain
would be harmful to the progress of the project and would feel like abandonment of the project on our part. We
still hope that competing implementations of Nyzo will be developed, and the democratic nature of Nyzo means that
we have no control over which implementation or implementations become dominant in the cycle. So, we plan to
continue contributing to the official Nyzo repository indefinitely, and we will let the community decide whether
they want to use our implementation.


NEW YORK CITY (April 22, 2020) — A24 Films have launched a digital platform called A24 auctions, where costumes and props for their most popular titles are being auctioned for charity. Donations will “support doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers by providing meals, prepackaged groceries, hotel rooms, laundry service, and scrubs for these heroic workers.”
A24 is an American independent entertainment company that focuses on film and television production and distribution. They have birthed some of the most popular films in Hollywood, like Lady Bird, Moonlight, Room, Midsommar, and HBO’s hit show Euphoria. The company has received 25 Academy Award nominations, having brought home Best Visual Effects, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Documentary Feature, and Best Picture. Filmmakers have described their logo at the beginning of a film as a stamp of approval.
There is one auction currently taking place and three more planned in the following weeks. Right now, A24’s Attic Auction lets you place a bid for items like the staple purple hoodie worn by Zendaya in Euphoria (currently at $6,000) for the benefit of NYC Health + Hospital and it is up for grabs until May 8th.
On April 27th, the Midsommar Hårga Collectibles auction opens where insanely popular items will be auctioned off. Such as, the bear headdress worn by the main character’s boyfriend and the opulent May Queen flower dress. On May 4th, the Gems from Gems auction will let people place their bids on a prom dress worn by Idina Menzel, a Celtics jersey worn by Kevin Garnett, and a black and yellow staple shirt worn by Adam Sandler, all from last Christmas’s hit, Uncut Gems. They’ve also included the bedazzled Furby necklace held by Sandler. The final auction that features items from The Lighthouse and opens May 11th, does not include any of the wardrobe; however, it does include fancy mermaid décor and lamps used in the movie.
Any fan of the films might have a chance to own (and maybe wear out if they want!) clothes and accessories worn by the actors that also are staple pieces in the films and show, all for the fight against COVID-19.
A24 said in an official statement: “As a company founded and based in New York City, A24 wants to give back to the city as it weathers this crisis and begins to rebuild. 100% of each auction’s proceeds will be donated to one of four charities helping New York City’s hardest-hit communities and frontline workers: FDNY Foundation; Food Bank For NYC; NYC Health + Hospitals; and Queens Community House.”
NOTES TO EDITOR:
A24’s auctions are being held ONLINE at A24's Auction website. Euphoria’s purple hoodie is at $6,000 but will most likely go up in the next few hours/days.
ABOUT A24:
A24 is an American independent entertainment company founded on August 20, 2012,[3] by Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges and based in New York City. It specializes in film distribution, and film and television production. In recent years, A24 has developed a steady fanbase of followers. While a following of specific distribution companies is typically uncommon, fans laude A24 over their choice of artistically dense and involved films and their leniency and freedom during production, giving filmmakers more creative freedom than most non-independent companies. A24 distributes and produces around 18 to 20 films a year.

Adho Mukha Svanasana Asana
Adho – Forward; Mukha – Face; Svana - Dog
The asana is pronounced as A-doh MOO-kah shvah-NAS-anna
Adho mukha svanasana posture replicates a dog bending forward, hence the name downward facing dog pose.
How To Do:
Come onto your fours. Form a table such that your back forms the table top and your hands and feet form the legs of the table.
As you breath out lift the hips up, straightening the knees and elbows, form an inverted V-shape with the body.
Hands are shoulder width apart, feet are hip width apart and parallel to each other. Toes point straight ahead.
Press your hands into the ground. Widen through the shoulder blades. Keep the neck lengthened by touching the ears to the inner arms
Hold the downward dog pose and take long deep breaths. Look towards the navel.
Exhale. Bend the knees, return to table pose. Relax.
Benefits:
- This pose leaves you energized and rejuvenates the body
- It lengthens the spine, strengthens the muscles of the chest increasing lung capacity.
- It brings strength throughout the body especially the arms, shoulders, legs, feet.
- Helps to tone muscles
- It increases circulation to the brain
- Calms the mind and helps relive headache, insomnia and fatigue.
Cautions:
Avoid doing this asana if you suffer from high blood pressure, Carpel tunnel syndrome, detached eye retina, weak eye capillaries, dislocated shoulder / shoulder injury or diarrhea.

JSON Schema Validation: A Vocabulary for Structural Validation of JSON
draft-wright-json-schema-validation-00
JSON Schema (application/schema+json) has several purposes, one of which is JSON instance validation. This document specifies a vocabulary for JSON Schema to describe the meaning of JSON documents, provide hints for user interfaces working with JSON data, and to make assertions about what a valid document must look like.

Code Components extracted from this document must include Simplified BSD License text as described in Section 4.e of the Trust Legal Provisions and are provided without warranty as described in the Simplified BSD License.
JSON Schema can be used to require that a given JSON document (an instance) satisfies a certain number of criteria. These criteria are asserted by using keywords described in this specification. In addition, a set of keywords is also defined to assist in interactive, user interface instance generation.
This specification will use the terminology defined by the JSON Schema core [json-schema] specification.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
This specification uses the term "container instance" to refer to both array and object instances. It uses the term "children instances" to refer to array elements or object member values.
This specification uses the term "property set" to refer to the set of an object's member names; for instance, the property set of JSON Object { "a": 1, "b": 2 } is [ "a", "b" ].
Elements in an array value are said to be unique if no two elements of this array are equal [json-schema].
It should be noted that the nul character (\u0000) is valid in a JSON string. An instance to validate may contain a string value with this character, regardless of the ability of the underlying programming language to deal with such data.
The JSON specification allows numbers with arbitrary precision, and JSON Schema does not add any such bounds. This means that numeric instances processed by JSON Schema can be arbitrarily large and/or have an arbitrarily long decimal part, regardless of the ability of the underlying programming language to deal with such data.
Two validation keywords, "pattern" and "patternProperties", use regular expressions to express constraints.
Furthermore, given the high disparity in regular expression constructs support, schema authors SHOULD limit themselves to the following regular expression tokens:
Finally, implementations MUST NOT take regular expressions to be anchored, neither at the beginning nor at the end. This means, for instance, the pattern "es" matches "expression".
Most validation keywords only limit the range of values within a certain primitive type. When the primitive type of the instance is not of the type targeted by the keyword, the validation succeeds.
For example, the "maxLength" keyword will only restrict certain strings (that are too long) from being valid. If the instance is a number, boolean, null, array, or object, the keyword passes validation.
Validation keywords that are missing never restrict validation. In some cases, this no-op behavior is identical to a keyword that exists with certain values, and these values are noted where known.
Validation keywords typically operate independent of each other, without affecting each other.
For author convienence, there are some exceptions:
Validation keywords in a schema impose requirements for successfully validating an instance.
The value of "multipleOf" MUST be a number, strictly greater than 0.
A numeric instance is only valid if division by this keyword's value results in an integer.
The value of "maximum" MUST be a number, representing an upper limit for a numeric instance.
If the instance is a number, then this keyword validates if "exclusiveMaximum" is true and instance is less than the provided value, or else if the instance is less than or exactly equal to the provided value.
The value of "exclusiveMaximum" MUST be a boolean, representing whether the limit in "maximum" is exclusive or not. An undefined value is the same as false.
If "exclusiveMaximum" is true, then a numeric instance SHOULD NOT be equal to the value specified in "maximum". If "exclusiveMaximum" is false (or not specified), then a numeric instance MAY be equal to the value of "maximum".
The value of "minimum" MUST be a number, representing a lower limit for a numeric instance.
If the instance is a number, then this keyword validates if "exclusiveMinimum" is true and instance is greater than the provided value, or else if the instance is greater than or exactly equal to the provided value.
The value of "exclusiveMinimum" MUST be a boolean, representing whether the limit in "minimum" is exclusive or not. An undefined value is the same as false.
If "exclusiveMinimum" is true, then a numeric instance SHOULD NOT be equal to the value specified in "minimum". If "exclusiveMinimum" is false (or not specified), then a numeric instance MAY be equal to the value of "minimum".
The value of this keyword MUST be a non-negative integer.
The value of this keyword MUST be an integer. This integer MUST be greater than, or equal to, 0.
A string instance is valid against this keyword if its length is less than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
The length of a string instance is defined as the number of its characters as defined by RFC 7159 [RFC7159].
A string instance is valid against this keyword if its length is greater than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
The length of a string instance is defined as the number of its characters as defined by RFC 7159 [RFC7159].
The value of this keyword MUST be an integer. This integer MUST be greater than, or equal to, 0.
"minLength", if absent, may be considered as being present with integer value 0.
The value of this keyword MUST be a string. This string SHOULD be a valid regular expression, according to the ECMA 262 regular expression dialect.
A string instance is considered valid if the regular expression matches the instance successfully. Recall: regular expressions are not implicitly anchored.
The value of "additionalItems" MUST be either a boolean or an object. If it is an object, this object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
The value of "items" MUST be either a schema or array of schemas.
Successful validation of an array instance with regards to these two keywords is determined as follows:
If either keyword is absent, it may be considered present with an empty schema.
The value of this keyword MUST be an integer. This integer MUST be greater than, or equal to, 0.
An array instance is valid against "maxItems" if its size is less than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
The value of this keyword MUST be an integer. This integer MUST be greater than, or equal to, 0.
An array instance is valid against "minItems" if its size is greater than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
If this keyword is not present, it may be considered present with a value of 0.
The value of this keyword MUST be a boolean.
If this keyword has boolean value false, the instance validates successfully. If it has boolean value true, the instance validates successfully if all of its elements are unique.
If not present, this keyword may be considered present with boolean value false.
The value of this keyword MUST be an integer. This integer MUST be greater than, or equal to, 0.
An object instance is valid against "maxProperties" if its number of properties is less than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
The value of this keyword MUST be an integer. This integer MUST be greater than, or equal to, 0.
An object instance is valid against "minProperties" if its number of properties is greater than, or equal to, the value of this keyword.
If this keyword is not present, it may be considered present with a value of 0.
The value of this keyword MUST be an array. This array MUST have at least one element. Elements of this array MUST be strings, and MUST be unique.
An object instance is valid against this keyword if its property set contains all elements in this keyword's array value.
The value of "properties" MUST be an object. Each value of this object MUST be an object, and each object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
If absent, it can be considered the same as an empty object.
The value of "patternProperties" MUST be an object. Each property name of this object SHOULD be a valid regular expression, according to the ECMA 262 regular expression dialect. Each property value of this object MUST be an object, and each object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
If absent, it can be considered the same as an empty object.
The value of "additionalProperties" MUST be a boolean or a schema.
If "additionalProperties" is absent, it may be considered present with an empty schema as a value.
If "additionalProperties" is true, validation always succeeds.
If "additionalProperties" is false, validation succeeds only if the instance is an object and all properties on the instance were covered by "properties" and/or "patternProperties".
If "additionalProperties" is an object, validate the value as a schema to all of the properties that weren't validated by "properties" nor "patternProperties".
This keyword specifies rules that are evaluated if the instance is an object and contains a certain property.
This keyword's value MUST be an object. Each property specifies a dependency. Each dependency value MUST be an object or an array.
If the dependency value is an object, it MUST be a valid JSON Schema. If the dependency key is a property in the instance, the dependency value must validate against the entire instance.
If the dependency value is an array, it MUST have at least one element, each element MUST be a string, and elements in the array MUST be unique. If the dependency key is a property in the instance, each of the items in the dependency value must be a property that exists in the instance.
The value of this keyword MUST be an array. This array SHOULD have at least one element. Elements in the array SHOULD be unique.
Elements in the array MAY be of any type, including null.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if its value is equal to one of the elements in this keyword's array value.
The value of this keyword MUST be either a string or an array. If it is an array, elements of the array MUST be strings and MUST be unique.
String values MUST be one of the seven primitive types defined by the core specification.
An instance matches successfully if its primitive type is one of the types defined by keyword. Recall: "number" includes "integer".
This keyword's value MUST be an array. This array MUST have at least one element.
Elements of the array MUST be objects. Each object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against all schemas defined by this keyword's value.
This keyword's value MUST be an array. This array MUST have at least one element.
Elements of the array MUST be objects. Each object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against at least one schema defined by this keyword's value.
This keyword's value MUST be an array. This array MUST have at least one element.
Elements of the array MUST be objects. Each object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance validates successfully against this keyword if it validates successfully against exactly one schema defined by this keyword's value.
This keyword's value MUST be an object. This object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
An instance is valid against this keyword if it fails to validate successfully against the schema defined by this keyword.
This keyword's value MUST be an object. Each member value of this object MUST be a valid JSON Schema.
This keyword plays no role in validation per se. Its role is to provide a standardized location for schema authors to inline JSON Schemas into a more general schema.
{ "type": "array", "items": { "$ref": "#/definitions/positiveInteger" }, "definitions": { "positiveInteger": { "type": "integer", "minimum": 0, "exclusiveMinimum": true } } }
As an example, here is a schema describing an array of positive integers, where the positive integer constraint is a subschema in "definitions":
The value of both of these keywords MUST be a string.
Both of these keywords can be used to decorate a user interface with information about the data produced by this user interface. A title will preferrably be short, whereas a description will provide explanation about the purpose of the instance described by this schema.
Both of these keywords MAY be used in root schemas, and in any subschemas.
There are no restrictions placed on the value of this keyword.
This keyword can be used to supply a default JSON value associated with a particular schema. It is RECOMMENDED that a default value be valid against the associated schema.
This keyword MAY be used in root schemas, and in any subschemas.
Structural validation alone may be insufficient to validate that an instance meets all the requirements of an application. The "format" keyword is defined to allow interoperable semantic validation for a fixed subset of values which are accurately described by authoritative resources, be they RFCs or other external specifications.
The value of this keyword is called a format attribute. It MUST be a string. A format attribute can generally only validate a given set of instance types. If the type of the instance to validate is not in this set, validation for this format attribute and instance SHOULD succeed.
Implementations MAY support the "format" keyword. Should they choose to do so:
Implementations MAY add custom format attributes. Save for agreement between parties, schema authors SHALL NOT expect a peer implementation to support this keyword and/or custom format attributes.
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid date representation as defined by RFC 3339, section 5.6 [RFC3339].
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid Internet email address as defined by RFC 5322, section 3.4.1 [RFC5322].
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid representation for an Internet host name, as defined by RFC 1034, section 3.1 [RFC1034].
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid representation of an IPv4 address according to the "dotted-quad" ABNF syntax as defined in RFC 2673, section 3.2 [RFC2673].
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid representation of an IPv6 address as defined in RFC 2373, section 2.2 [RFC2373].
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid URI, according to [RFC3986].
This attribute applies to string instances.
A string instance is valid against this attribute if it is a valid URI Reference (either a URI or a relative-reference), according to [RFC3986].
JSON Schema validation defines a vocabulary for JSON Schema core and conserns all the security considerations listed there.
JSON Schema validation allows the use of Regular Expressions, which have numerous different (often incompatible) implementations. Some implementations allow the embedding of arbritrary code, which is outside the scope of JSON Schema and MUST NOT be permitted. Regular expressions can often also be crafted to be extremely expensive to compute (with so-called "catastrophic backtracking"), resulting in a denial-of-service attack.
This specification does not have any influence with regards to IANA.

GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1988 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: At some point GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM was probably intended to be a biting indictment of Americans in Vietnam. Instead it is a likable comedy with some unusual twists on traditional plots. Robin Williams gets a chance to do his brand of comedy. Rating: +2.
There is a spate of films coming out about the Vietnam experience. Most seem to focus on large aspects of the war. FULL METAL JACKET was spread between Marine training and the Tet Offensive. HANOI HILTON was about the POW experience. PLATOON put us into the boots of American ground troops. GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM is an exception. It is mostly about what would be a minor footnote to the war, a disc jockey (Adrian Cronauer, played by Robin Williams) brought in to keep the troops' morale up. Cronauer has to fight a separate war, not against the enemy but against his own immediate superiors, who want him to play music fit for elevators and to keep his humor toned down. Often in this sort of film it is the brass that does not understand the rebel and people on his own level defend him. One of the interesting reversals in GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM is that here the top brass want to keep the disc jockey. Far from the usual cliche of dehumanized generals making unfeeling decisions, this an anti-military film in which the highest-ranking officer is one of the heroes of the film.
There is another interesting reversal. Many war films have two plot lines, the main character's personal life and his professional life. But the personal plot line will have little to do with the war; only the professional life plot line will really have the war as an important element. THE CAINE MUTINY is a good example--the (superfluous) love story could easily have been moved to a non-war setting. GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM does just the reverse. The main plot line could have been moved to WNBC in New York without much change. It is the love story that really requires the Vietnam War setting.
Part of what bothers me about GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM is that it feels like it is rearing back to make some sort of powerful statement, but if the punch ever hit, I missed it. There is some talk about Americans seeing Vietnamese as animals, but much of the film makes the point that there are caring Americans and we see really only two who are not. There is a dab of "horrors of war" scenes but not much to emphasize the point. Director Barry Levison is used to making gentle human dramas like DINER and TIN MEN. His most biting film to date was AND JUSTICE FOR ALL and his heart just did not seem to be into making a bitter anti-American statement.
GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM leaves ample places for Robin Williams to "do his thing." He does wild improvisational comedy at the microphone, some quite good. It has the feel of being spontaneous and if it is, he must be some sort of genius. GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM is not the film it could have been, but deserves a low +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.

B. GS2 Related
1. Aadhaar mandatory for opening bank accounts, transactions over rs.50,000
In news:
- The government, through a notification amending the Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005, has made it mandatory to provide Aadhaar to open a bank account and to conduct a transaction of Rs 50,000 or more.
Notification:
- It says that that individuals who are eligible to be enrolled for an Aadhaar number need to provide that number and the Permanent Account Number (PAN) to open a bank account or conduct any transaction “of an amount equal to or exceeding rupees fifty thousand, whether conducted as a single transaction or several transactions that appear to be connected, or any international money transfer operations”.
Even small accounts under scanner:
- “The small account shall be opened only at core banking solution linked banking company branches or in a branch where it is possible to manually monitor and ensure that foreign remittances are not credited to a small account and that the stipulated limits on monthly and annual aggregate of transactions and balance in such accounts are not breached, before a transaction is allowed to take place.”
2. Puducherry government demands more powers
Context:
- Tussle between Lt. Governor and Government: Governor of Puducherry Kiran Bedi has made it clear that she was the “real administrator” and all files have to be sent to her for approval.
In news:
- Governor view points: Purpose of such a move is to observe financial prudence.
- Government view points: it is an attempt to tarnish the government image by blocking files related to welfare schemes.
Resolution:
- Puducherry Legislative Assembly passed a resolution urging the Union Government to make necessary amendments in the Union Territories Act to bestow more powers on the elected government and curtail the role of the Lt. Governor.
1. Swiss ratify pact on information sharing
In news:
- Switzerland ratified automatic exchange of financial account information (AEOI) with India.
- AEOI is a global convention for automatic information exchange on tax matters. AEOI facilitates immediate sharing of details on suspected black.
- The first set of data should be exchanged in 2019.
AEOI :
- The new global standard on Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) reduces the possibility for tax evasion. It provides for the exchange of non-resident financial account information with the tax authorities in the account holders’ country of residence. Participating jurisdictions that implement AEOI send and receive pre-agreed information each year, without having to send a specific request.
- AEOI will enable the discovery of formerly undetected tax evasion. It will enable governments to recover tax revenue lost to non-compliant taxpayers, and will further strengthen international efforts to increase transparency, cooperation, and accountability among financial institutions and tax administrations. Additionally, AEOI will generate secondary benefits by increasing voluntary disclosures of concealed assets and by encouraging taxpayers to report all relevant information.
2. All eyes on Modi-Trump meeting
In news:
- June 24 to 27: second round of visits to western countries by Prime Minister Narendra Modi
- Countries to be covered: Portugal, the United States and the Netherlands from June
U.S. Visit to focus on: Defence partnership, counter-terror cooperation and cooperation in the Indian Ocean region.
3. U.S. issues Zika advisory in India
Context:
- Last month, World Health Organisation (WHO) has categorized India as a site of active transmission of the Zika virus.
- WHO placed India under a ‘ Category-2’ country for Zika risk. A Category-2, the second highest on a four-point scale and that also includes 2015 Zika-hotspot Brazil, indicates that the virus is being actively transmitted within the country. Until April, India was a Category-4 country.
In news:
- The United States sent out an advisory, informing its citizens in India about the number of confirmed Zika infections in India.
Zika virus :
- Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that was first identified in Uganda in 1947 in monkeys through a network that monitored yellow fever.
- It was later identified in humans in 1952 in Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania.
Signs and Symptoms:
- The incubation period (the time from exposure to symptoms) of Zika virus disease is not clear, but is likely to be a few days. The symptoms are similar to other arbovirus infections such as dengue, and include fever, skin rashes, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise, and headache. These symptoms are usually mild and last for 2-7 days.
Complications of Zika virus disease:
- Based on a systematic review of the literature up to 30 May 2016, WHO has concluded that Zika virus infection during pregnancy is a cause of congenital brain abnormalities, including microcephaly; and that Zika virus is a trigger of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Intense efforts are continuing to investigate the link between Zika virus and a range of neurological disorders, within a rigorous research framework.
Transmission:
- Zika virus is primarily transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito from the Aedes genus, mainly Aedes aegypti in tropical regions. Aedes mosquitoes usually bite during the day, peaking during early morning and late afternoon/evening. This is the same mosquito that transmits dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. Sexual transmission of Zika virus is also possible. Other modes of transmission such as blood transfusion are being investigated.

1. ‘Photosynthesis can save hearts’
In news:
- Stanford University scientists have found that using blue-green algae and light to trigger photosynthesis inside the heart could help treat cardiac disease, the top cause of death globally.
- Researchers injected a type of bacteria into the hearts of anaesthetised rats with cardiac disease. Using light to trigger photosynthesis, they were able to increase the flow of oxygen and improve heart function.
- In nature, humans exhale carbon dioxide and plants convert it back to oxygen. During a heart attack, the muscle is still trying to pump. There’s carbon dioxide but no oxygen.
Cardiac ischemia:
- Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart is reduced, preventing it from receiving enough oxygen. The reduced blood flow is usually the result of a partial or complete blockage of your heart’s arteries.
- The researchers plan to investigate how to apply this concept to humans and how to deliver a light source to the human heart. They are also examining the potential of using artificial chloroplasts to eliminate the need for bacteria.

Fretting approximately the way to control your pension is like complaining about the cost of winterizing your seashore residence. Masses of people would love to have your hassle. Most effective about 18% of personal-industry people have a defined-advantage pension. Less than one-fourth of fortune 500 corporations supplied a defined-gain plan to new employees on the surrender of 2013, down from 60% in 1998, consistent with towers watson, the human assets consulting organisation. The variety is masses big for public-area people; approximately eighty% of them have a traditional pension.
In case you're eligible for a conventional pension, you may be confronted with essential picks that could have an effect to your monetary safety, and they will be usually irrevocable. Which means that at the equal time as you retire, you may need to do more than turn for your safety badge and appearance beforehand to the month-to-month tests to roll in. The drift a ways from traditional pensions shows severa tendencies. Personnel are living longer, on the way to increase the price of imparting a whole life month-to-month rate. Low interest charges have reduced pension finances' funding returns, requiring corporations to area extra money into their plans to keep away from a shortfall. Government policies designed to protect pension people have improved the charge of supplying and preserving defined-advantage plans. Ultimately, agencies used to view pensions as a manner to attract and keep right personnel. However these days, a benefit that rewards durability is lots less precious because personnel exchange jobs each 4.6 years, on common, in step with the bureau of labor records.
Even in case you're a number of the minority of private-vicinity workers included via a pension, you aren't immune from efforts to lessen pension fees. At&t, boeing and ibm have joined precise groups with massive pension duties in switching to a cash-stability plan. Those hybrid plans combine capabilities of a 401(ok) and a conventional pension. Blessings from a conventional pension are typically based totally on a participant's income at some degree inside the final years of employment, but with a cash-stability plan, blessings are amassed gently through the years. Whilst a enterprise enterprise converts, people are typically entitled to the advantages they've got earned so far underneath the conventional method, with future benefits based totally totally on the cash-balance calculation. For longtime personnel, the shift can result in a huge reduce in advantages.


Pitch is how high or low a note sounds.
This tutorial will guide you though the other elements of pitch within Codetta.
TASK: Recreate the screen shot below into Codetta, and press play.
Both of these notes are octaves apart! This means that the notes have the same letter (C), but one sounds higher than the other.
TASK: Look at the letters next to "Treble = " in the info bar. Which C has a 4 and which has a 5 mean?
Let's look at two of Codettas instruments, the violin and the cello!
The Violin is a small instrument, so when playing a C5, it sounds reasonable and not too silly. However, a big low sounding Cello may not be as effective as creating high pitched sounds.
TASK: try listening to both instruments. Which sounds better?
Let's try and change the notes of the cello to be at a much smarter pitch.
To do this we can select the "bass clef block" from the blue, pitch category in our toolbox.
By adding it like in the image above, we change the pitches that the notes and lines on our stave (the "bar block") equal. Hence you should look at the "Bass = " value on the info bar.
By default, we have been always using the treble clef, however, sometimes its good to add it anyway to make it super clear.
TASK: Recreate the screenshot below. What do all of the notes have in common? What do they have that is different.
You now have all the skills needed to make a really powerful and expressive piece of music.
Listen to the video demo below. This was made all with Codetta!
TASK: See if you too can recreate the music in the video - a screenshot is shown below for reference.
NOTE: The global BPM is set to 45.


There no getting around the fact that 2020 was defined by the pandemic. With that in mind, some personal stats:
Transport
In 2018, I took 556 bus rides. In 2019, I took 265.
In 2020, I took 15. Not a typo. 14 rides in January and a solitary ride in February. With the threat of Covid rising (even before the government decided to finally lockdown in March), I didn’t risk taking cramped public transport. Sadly, I also understand that working from home and taking a PickMe are not privileges everyone has access to.
A breakdown of all rides taken in 2020 clearly reflect the two waves/lockdowns we had this year in Sri Lanka:
These are the ride counts and average fares for 2020 in comparison to 2019:
| Type | Count (2019) | Avg (2019) | Count (2020) | Avg (2020) | Count Diff | Avg Diff |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bus | 265 | 21.91 | 15 | 27.53 | -250 | 5.62 |
| PickMe | 245 | 394.35 | 102 | 349.25 | -143 | -45.10 |
| Tuk | 29 | 356.21 | 12 | 256.83 | -17 | -99.38 |
| Uber | 5 | 500.00 | 1 | 50.00 | -4 | -450.00 |
| Total | 544 | 130 | -414 |
The Blog
I published 16 posts in 2020, down from 18 in 2019. It’s still not hitting my ideal of 24 (posting twice a month), but I’ll take it:
Art/Music
Chithrapotha is rolling on, with 55 posts this year. This is nowhere near the 27 I posted in just over a month when I started it, but I put more effort to finish pieces now and can never finish them at a rate of one-a-day like I used to.
On SoundCloud I only managed 8 tracks this year (down from 18 in 2019), mostly due to my recording setup getting fudged by an OS upgrade back in June. Hopefully, with the new year—and planned hardware upgrades—I’ll be back to recording a ton of tracks that have piled up on my phone’s voice recording app.
* * *
So, those are my 2020 stats. It’s not been a great year, but I’m well aware that things could’ve been much worse—and I’m grateful for good health and still having all my loved ones with me.
I sincerely hope 2021 will be a good year for you and yours!

Lead: The pandemic has driven up food prices nationally, but food prices in Brooklyn,
NY for cheddar cheese, chicken breast, white bread, bacon, ground beef, milk, and potatoes
were higher than the Average Consumer Price Index February 2021 Northeast price
for each product this month.
Nutgraph:Smaller grocery stores frequently priced food at higher prices
than Key Food, which is one of the biggest grocery chains in New York City.
Key Food has more buying power than smaller grocery stores that cannot
afford to buy as large quantities of food in bulk. Smaller grocery stores
also prioritize selling organic, natural food in order to compete with
larger grocery stores, which drives up prices. The high prices of food in
New York City in proportion to the regional average is troubling because,
according to the city of New York there were 1.2 million New Yorkers who
were food insecure pre-pandemic. .
Key Points:
-
The biggest reason for the high price of food in certain stores were
organic products, specifically for milk, cheese and chicken.
There is a high demand for organic, natural food in New York City.
Small grocery stores like Orange Tree in Williamsburg sell organic, natural
products because these are the products that the neighborhood wants,
said owner Ki Heon Kim.
-
Big grocery stores like Key Food have more buying power and can
afford to price food at lower prices. In fact, Key Food just struck a
$10 billion deal with United Natural Foods Inc., a natural and organic
wholesale distributor that works with Whole Foods, to distribute food
for Key Foods over the next ten years. Patrick Penfield, Professor of
Supply Chain Management at Syracuse University told Good Morning America
that supermarkets that food prices will continue to rise nationally until May.
“The major factors impacting costs are demand, weather issues within
the U.S. and food producers and supermarkets not offering substantial
discounts to shoppers,” Penfield told Good Morning America.
-
Shopping for affordable, healthy food isn’t easy, but the city government
of New York is working to bring organic, healthy food at affordable prices
to underserved communities. They have expanded their program FRESH, which
is a zoning initiative to bring more affordable, healthy food to communities
that include Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Williamsburg. “Access to
fresh, healthy food is a priority for me and for this Council, and the
expansion of the FRESH zoning incentive is a major step forward in our
fight to ensure all New Yorkers can eat healthy no matter where they live.
Far too many neighborhoods in our city lack access to affordable,
healthy food options,” said Speaker Corey Johnson.
Kicker: Even though the city is planning on increasing the amount of
grocery stores that sell healthy food, organic, natural food is
much more expensive, which is not accesible for low-income New Yorkers.

This chapter defines the interface between the core PostgreSQL system and index access methods, which manage individual index types. The core system knows nothing about indexes beyond what is specified here, so it is possible to develop entirely new index types by writing add-on code.
All indexes in PostgreSQL are what are known technically as secondary indexes; that is, the index is physically separate from the table file that it describes. Each index is stored as its own physical relation and so is described by an entry in the pg_class catalog. The contents of an index are entirely under the control of its index access method. In practice, all index access methods divide indexes into standard-size pages so that they can use the regular storage manager and buffer manager to access the index contents. (All the existing index access methods furthermore use the standard page layout described in Section 54.5, and they all use the same format for index tuple headers; but these decisions are not forced on an access method.)
An index is effectively a mapping from some data key values to tuple identifiers, or TIDs, of row versions (tuples) in the index's parent table. A TID consists of a block number and an item number within that block (see Section 54.5). This is sufficient information to fetch a particular row version from the table. Indexes are not directly aware that under MVCC, there might be multiple extant versions of the same logical row; to an index, each tuple is an independent object that needs its own index entry. Thus, an update of a row always creates all-new index entries for the row, even if the key values did not change. (HOT tuples are an exception to this statement; but indexes do not deal with those, either.) Index entries for dead tuples are reclaimed (by vacuuming) when the dead tuples themselves are reclaimed.


Four Indian soldiers, two civilians killed in Siachen avalanche
by ReutersSRINAGAR: Four Indian army officers and two porters were killed on Monday in an avalanche on the Siachen Glacier, a defense spokesman said on Monday.
The incident, in which eight other people were trapped, occurred at an altitude of 19,000 feet on the glacier.
“The cause of death is extreme hypothermia,” the spokesperson said, adding that two of the eight people had been rescued.
The Siachen Glacier in the Karakorum range is known as the highest militarised zone in the world.
Thousands of Indian and Pakistani troops contest an area at altitudes above 20,000 feet where they must deal with altitude sickness, high winds, frostbite and temperatures as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius.

by Rebecca CarterTV duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have revealed who they think will leave I'm A Celebrity first.
The first campmate will be voted off tonight (November 29) and the stars will be fighting for immunity in tonight's Reckoning trials.
During Thursday night's episode of spin-off programme Extra Camp, Ant and Dec said they think former EastEnders actor Cliff Parisi is at risk of being voted off.

When asked who they think could potentially leave the jungle first, Ant said: "I think it is fair to say that Cliff is probably in danger because he's not doing a lot."
Dec added: "I think he is struggling a bit with his energy levels and he's not been in the show a huge amount."
Six of this year's 12 campmates are currently 'cursed' after losing their Reckoning trials, meaning they also have been living off rice and beans.
At the end of last night's show, Ant told the campmates: "Currently, six of you are cursed. But that could be about to change with another day of reckonings.
"Yesterday was just about food, but today is also about immunity from the first public vote off."
Dec added: "For those who are already cursed, there will be a chance to free yourselves.
"For those you are currently free, you'll be fighting to stay that way."
Tonight, the campmates will take on another Reckoning trial to try and win food and immunity.
Andrew Maxwell, Nadine Coyle, Adele Roberts, Roman Kemp, Myles Stephenson and Andy Whyment are currently free from the curse.
Meanwhile, Cliff, Kate Garraway, James Haskell, Ian Wright, Caitlyn Jenner and Jacqueline Jossa are not.

Bookies have already predicted which famous face could leave the jungle first.
According to Ladbrokes, Andrew and Adele are most likely to be voted off with odds at 6/4 and 7/4 respectively.
Spokesperson Jessica O'Reilly told The Sun: "Andrew's failed to really create a decent rapport with his camp mates, let alone the public, and the odds suggest he'll be the first celebrity to be voted out of the jungle."
