Less is More
As someone that uses Microsoft Word on a daily basis there is a lot to be said about what Word is capable of doing. But ask any graphic designer what their opinion of Word is and there is a good chance you will hear a number of French words. The reason for this scorn is because Word for all it is, is not the best at layout.
I might even go so far a saying that repeatedly getting a word document to look the same can be a challenge. As I said earlier this doesn’t doom Word, it’s a great application, it’s just being realistic.
One of the things that drew me to using the ruby based Jekyll parsing program for this site is that it used what is called markup for formatting. As I write this post I am looking at what essentially is a plain text screen that will be transformed during the building of this site with the Jekyll system.
My Introduction to LaTex
This process is not new. Years ago I was introduced to a product called LaTex which is used extensively in the college research venue. Like Jekyll LaTex using a text based input that makes use of markup tags to indicate formatting options. A template is used which the user chooses and when processed the output file is typeset into the specified template.
I say typeset because unlike justification in Word the resulting text looks like it was professionally typeset in a book. In fact LaTex is often used for book publishing. Interestingly enough, this is not the driving function that draws so many academics to using LaTex – it is the scientific/mathematic formula capabilities that make every other application pale in comparison.
For me, I initially used LaTex for a slightly different reason. I had a ton of documentation to do, and I needed to bang it out quickly and have it consistently look the same. I didn’t have time to deal with layout, i needed to focus on content, and LaTex made that possible. And the results were truly impressive.
“That’s great!” you say, “Is it easy?” you ask.
In a word no. What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) has crippled the typical users ability to easily assimilate this type of system. People want instant gratification. Don’t want to troubleshoot why a document compile run through pdftex failed because of a coding error. It’s just not worth their time.
I say that not in an elitist way, I love the command line but if you ask me to learn emacs I would laugh and say “Hell no, I am vi man”. How is that different from someone not wanting to learn LaTex? It really isn’t.
The road into corporate America for LaTex is one that I believe will always remain closed. People need to be able to collaborate, files authored today need to be editable by someone with the necessary skill-set in a year, five years, etc. That’s just not going to happen outside of an academic environment despite the beautiful documents it can create.
The Joy of LaTex-Like Blogging
Given me professed love-fest for LaTex is it any surprise that I like Jekyll? It’s simple, its fast (no database needed to generate views on the fly like WordPress), and it’s secure. My workflow couldn’t be easier, I can either edit the file locally and upload it to github for rendering, or use the github web interface to create the file and paste in the contents.
Is it flashy? No. Is it functional? Highly in my opinion. This template, which is a modification of one used by Klepas, is visually stunning to read. I’ve forgone a lot of the bloggy widgets, adds, and comments. Honestly if you want to comment on something just email me. This conveniently eliminates spam completely.
So that’s about it. If you find yourself at all intrigued about LaTex, are a writer of someone who wants to self-publish, definitely check into it. You don’t need to have a Linux system to run in (there are Windows and OSX versions available. It might just be what you are looking for.
Til next time,

But for Cheryl Blosser, a New Straitsville resident, Christianity just “never took.” She said she was just going through the motions when she went to church – and eventually asked to be removed from her local Methodist church’s membership.
Blosser might seem like a rarity: an Appalachian atheist.
“I’m the oddball,” Blosser said, laughing.
New Straitsville is an intensely Christian town. Three crosses loom over the town’s main street, with the Ten Commandments emblazoned on a rock below. Blosser’s yard lacks any religious monuments, but she does keep some antiques and historical items around.
Blosser doesn’t try to hide her atheism, and has many religious friends, but she said other residents of the little Perry County village have been shocked by it.
“This woman just stared at me,” Blosser said, recalling someone’s reaction to learning of her atheism. “She’s a very devout woman. She was appalled.”
Southeast Ohio is a Christian stronghold. It borders the so-called “Bible Belt,” and a majority of residents attend Protestant Christian churches, but the region’s religious landscape is rapidly changing.
Church membership is declining, and mainline Protestant denominations are struggling to fill their pews on Sunday mornings. Some of those churches are even dying off: the First Christian Church in Nelsonville held its final service last year.
Blosser is far from the only atheist in Southeast Ohio: in the region and across the country, “nones,” or people who don’t identify with a religion, are growing rapidly. By some measures, their numbers equal evangelicals and Catholics.
Despite this changing religious landscape, churches are still the social cornerstones of many small communities. As new ideas and identities emerge in the region, atheists like Blosser have to go out of their way to find community.
Alone in Appalachia
“How is that possible?”
That was the first question Blosser’s father, who has since passed away, asked when she told him she was an atheist. He had attended church his whole life and couldn’t imagine going without it.
Being an atheist or nonreligious person in rural Ohio isn’t easy. Berkeley Franz, an assistant professor of community-based health at Ohio University, said many in southeast Ohio are like Blosser’s father: they rely on church not just for their faith but as their community.
The decision to leave one’s church might lead to a sense of social isolation, Franz said, making life harder for non-churchgoers in Appalachia.
“The real challenges in terms of what you leave behind,” Franz said.
That’s because churches are oftentimes the main social organizations in rural towns. Franz emphasized that, on the whole, the U.S. is an extraordinarily Christian country. In rural areas, Christianity has an even stronger base.
In Ohio, 73% of adults identify with some type of Christianity, according to the Pew Research Center. More identify as evangelical than mainline protestant, according to the center. Religious “nones,” by comparison, make up about 22% of the population.
Additionally, some people have misperceptions about nonreligious groups, leading to further isolation.
“People who are atheist or nonreligious are not amoral,” Franz said. “People sometimes equate those two.”
Atheists and other nonreligious groups aren’t the only ones who feel this sense of isolation. People of other religious identities, such as Islam or Judaism, also lack places to worship, Franz said.
Blosser has worked to build up a community around history in New Straitsville. She’s the office coordinator for Little Cities of Black Diamonds, a local history group and community organization.
History is Blosser’s great passion. She spends her days giving tours of former mining towns in the area and educating people about the history of miners, unions and labor in Appalachia. She said that, at one point, the miners brought a great religious diversity to the region – but added religion in Southeast Ohio has become “homogeneous” since then.
Even from outside the church, Blosser said she’s noticed the changing face of religion in Southeast Ohio. People are leaving mainline Protestant churches in droves. Several New Straitsville churches had to team up to hold a Vacation Bible School for kids this year, she said.
It’s not just churches in Perry County that are struggling for members and resources. According to Pew, mainline Protestant and Catholic churches across the country have been in decline for decades.
Decline and change
David Shoemaker knows what it’s like to see a church on the brink. He’s been the pastor at the Methodist church in Buchtel since 1999, and his congregation was once in dire straits.
At one point, only about 20 parishioners would show up to church on a given Sunday, he said. Shoemaker also noted a general loss of membership across the entire Methodist church over the past few decades.
“You see a decline in mainstream churches across the country and around the world,” Shoemaker said. “There’s a general decline in membership.”
That makes the Methodist church in Buchtel, a former mining town outside of Nelsonville, an oddity. While only a dozen or so people sang hymns in the historic building a few decades ago, it now boasts 80 or more on a normal Sunday.
Shoemaker attributes the church’s comparatively high membership to a hardline stance on scripture and a concerted effort to bring new members in.
More Ohioans identify as evangelical rather than Protestant, according to Pew. Evangelicals tend to be more conservative in their approach to Christianity and the Bible and have seen lesser declines in membership compared to more moderate mainline churches.
At the Ebenezer Baptist Church, located about 9 miles north of Logan, membership is booming. The church sees more than 400 attendants on a given Sunday, despite being “literally in the middle of nowhere,” according to its pastor.
Rev. Steve Hubbard moved from Myrtle Beach to take the helm at Ebenezer. Parishioners drive up to 40 minutes to listen to his sermons. Like Shoemaker, he says a hardline stance on the Bible is what drives people to Ebenezer.
 “That’s kind of like getting cotton candy at the fair. You get a sugar high.”
Hubbard also attributes the death of some local churches to increased mobility. At one point, the church one attended was simply the one nearest to them, Hubbard said. In addition to his church’s Biblical stances, Hubbard said outreach is vital in attracting new members.
“‘If you build it, they will come’ doesn’t work,” Hubbard said. “You’ve got to go get them.”
While Hubbard’s and Shoemaker’s churches are thriving, the general decline of Christianity in the U.S. has continued. The pastors both cited a lack of regard for Sundays as a reason for declining church membership.
Experts, meanwhile, say that the rise of individualism in the U.S. might be playing a part in the decline. There has also been a general decline in trust in organized religion, according to Gallup
Blosser believes that divisive national politics might have something to do with the slow decline of moderate, mainline protestant and Catholic churches.
“I don’t think the moderate churches are meeting the needs of the people,” Blosser said. “We’re being divided.”
Franz said the decline of churches locally means a decline in social institutions for communities. She said churches play a “key role” in connecting people.
Finding community with (or without) God
Some refer to the wide open spaces, hills and expanses of nature in Appalachia as “God’s Country.” As an atheist in God’s Country, Blosser has sometimes been chastised for her beliefs but still tries to help local communities.
A few years ago, Blosser and other volunteers were looking to churches in neighboring Shawnee for help. They were hoping to find a place to pass out free meals in the village, but none of the congregations could muster enough resources to do it.
“None of them had the time,” Blosser said. “They didn’t have enough people.”
She contacted three separate churches about handing out free meals but was unsuccessful. Instead, Blosser’s group wound up getting a local bar to open hours early, so they could pass out much-needed free meals in one of Ohio’s poorest regions.
Blosser’s friends range from devout Christians to practicing Wiccans.
“I like differences,” she said. “I like talking to people ... If you’re willing to accept people, it can be a beautiful world.”

Arrests made after deadly New Delhi factory fire
New Delhi police have arrested the owner and manager at a factory where 43 people perished in the Indian capital's deadliest fire in 20 years.
The blaze started early on Sunday (local time) when more than a hundred workers were sleeping in the four-storey building in a residential part of Delhi.
The factory, which made school bags and toys according to Indian media, was packed with combustible materials such as paper, plastic and cardboard, causing it to burn for hours before being brought under control.

"We have arrested the owner and a manager of the factory where the fire broke out and initiated an investigation which is going to be completed soon," Mandeep Singh Randhawa, Delhi police spokesman, told Reuters.
Most workers employed at the unit used to live in the factory itself, cooking meals there.
The Indian Express quoted one of the victims who had telephoned a neighbour in his home town in central India saying he was trapped and going to die soon and that he should take care of his family.
Fire engines had struggled to access the congested lane where the building was located, witnesses said.
Frequent raids by civic authorities to enforce building codes, fire safety measures and evacuation procedures have failed to curb violations in the rapidly expanding city of 20 million people.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced compensation of one million rupees (NZ$21,000) for the families of those killed.
On Monday morning, more fire engines were dispatched to the factory to douse a small fire caused by burning waste.

public class LocationUtil extends java.lang.Object
The LocationUtil deals directly with address location. SomeTimeZoneUtil
methods simply delegate directly to this utility. Location String Input A locations string is really an address or part of an address for anywhere in the world. The most important part of the address is the country or country abbreviation as 95% of all countries reside in 1 timezone. For other countries, like the US, Canada, Australia and others, more information like a state name or abbreviation or postal / zip code are required.This utility will do it's best to parse an address and find a TimeZone. If the utility cannot determine the TimeZone, the result of the function will be null. Multiple TimeZone Countries The following countries have multiple TimeZones where if only the country can be recognized versus some smaller more specific area such as a region, state or a postal code, the function will return null if
defaultIfUnresolvedInMultiTzCountry
is set to false, or the following ifdefaultIfUnresolvedInMultiTzCountry
is set to true:
The following countries have multiple TimeZones, but are not currently supported, meaning they will always return a default TimeZoneCountries with Regions Country Default TimeZone ID United States America/New_York Canada Canada/Eastern Australia Australia/NSW
Example Address Locations Here are some example addresses and the TimeZone ID that they represent. The parsing algorithm looks essentially from right to left, so building number and street are not important. Country is required unless you are using the US specific methods. The alogrithim is pretty forgiving, but the address should be in a relatively standard format.Countries not supported Country Default TimeZone ID Brazil America/Sao_Paulo Russia Europe/Moscow Mexico America/Mexico_City Antarctica GMT
US Zipcode Every 5 digit zipcode in the United States is in a specific TimeZone and this utility contains the data to determine the TimeZone from the zipcode. The majority of the time, the TimeZone can be determined by the first 3 digits of the zipcode!Examples Address TimeZone ID 123 Main St, Jackpot, NV, USA US/Mountain 123 Main St, West Wendover, NV, US US/Mountain 123 Main St, Reno, NV, United States US/Pacific NV, USA US/Pacific Melbourne VIC, Australia Australia/Victoria Adelaide SA 5000, Australia Australia/South Mont-Saint-Hilaire, QC, Canada Canada/Eastern Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada Canada/Eastern Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, CA Canada/Eastern Edmonton, AB, Canada Canada/Mountain San Diego, CA, USA US/Pacific San Diego, CA 92122, USA US/Pacific Fooville, MN, US US/Central New York, NY, US US/Eastern FL,US US/Eastern FLoRida, USA US/Eastern Top View Ln, Williamson, AZ 86305, USA US/Arizona Old Greenwich, Greenwich, CT, USA US/Eastern South Carolina, USA US/Eastern New Zealand Pacific/Auckland Chatham, New Zealand Pacific/Chatham Melbourne VIC, Australia Australia/Victoria Cardiff, UK Europe/London Chepstow, Monmouthshire NP16, UK Europe/London Hertfordshire, UK Europe/London United Kingdom Europe/London L'Ha?-les-Roses, France Europe/Paris L'Ha?-les-Roses, FR Europe/Paris Munich, Germany Europe/Berlin Munich, DE Europe/Berlin Copenhagen, Denmark Europe/Copenhagen Copenhagen, DK Europe/Copenhagen Poland Europe/Warsaw PL Europe/Warsaw Warsaw, Poland Europe/Warsaw Stockholm County, Sweden Europe/Stockholm Stockholm, Sweden Europe/Stockholm Hantverkargatan 1, 112 21 Stockholm, Sweden Europe/Stockholm Lund, SE Europe/Stockholm Rotterdam, The Netherlands Europe/Amsterdam Rotterdam, Netherlands Europe/Amsterdam Rotterdam, NL Europe/Amsterdam Nittedal, Norway Europe/Oslo Nittedal, NO Europe/Oslo Tel Aviv, Israel Asia/Tel_Aviv Tel Aviv, IL Asia/Tel_Aviv Hong Kong Asia/Hong_Kong HK Asia/Hong_Kong Taipei City, Taiwan Asia/Taipei Taipei City, TW Asia/Taipei San Pablo City, Philippines Asia/Manila San Pablo City, PH Asia/Manila Colmenar Viejo, Plaza del Pueblo, 1, 28770 Colmenar Viejo, Spain Europe/Madrid Madrid, Spain Europe/Madrid Madrid, ES Europe/Madrid Portugal Europe/Lisbon PT Europe/Lisbon BELGIUM Europe/Brussels BE Europe/Brussels LUXEMBOURG Europe/Luxembourg LU Europe/Luxembourg Johannesburg, South Africa Africa/Johannesburg

Core Developers¶
The core developers of the application have write access to the main repository. They can commit changes, accept/reject pull requests, and manage items on the issue tracker.
You do not need to be a core developer or have write access to be involved in the development of the application. You can submit patches or create pull requests from forked repositories and have a core developer add the changes for you.
The following are some general guidelines for core developers:
Questionable or extensive changes should be submitted as a pull request instead of being committed directly to the main repository. The pull request should be reviewed by another core developer before it is merged.
Trivial changes can be committed directly but be sure to keep the repository in a good working state and that all tests pass before pushing your changes.
When committing code written by someone else, please attribute the original author in the commit message and any relevant CHANGES entry.
Branch Model¶
The branch are made when a new major portion is added into the application. Only minor changes and bug removal in the branch would be appretiated.
FAQs¶
1. How to add a new GUI to the project?
Following steps are to be followed when adding a new GUI to the project: 1. Initiate a GUI in the prog folder in the root directory.
The convention for making a GUI in to name it as progx.py, where x is the next serial number for the program.
Take reference from the existing GUI to get the information about the import and the writing style for the code.
Add appropriate comments in the code sections.
Every GUI need to have a opening link from the the main.py in the root directory.
Check for the syntax to add in the main.py as defined above in section on working in main.py.
After appropriate testing, commit the local changes.
Open a new issue on master repo and on getting the approval from the owner/moderator you may push the code with the referce number of the issue.
2. How to work with the function?
All the function are defined at the path progs/func. You can define the funcion in seperate python files and then import it in the program according to your need.
3. Where in the data to processed stored in the application?
All the required files have been stored in src/data. You can put the data in the given folder to work upon. In case any new file in generated, they need to be placed in src/tmp.

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.


.NET Embedding. If you have an advanced Prolog application that needs a GUI you can write a stand-alone .NET application that handles the GUI and set up the Prolog server to call the right predicates in the Prolog application.
An example of how to do this can be found under the pbnetexamples('evaluate.NET') directory. This example is the C# version of the example shown in PB First Example).
To start the example, first start the Prolog server by going to the pbnetexamples('evaluate.NET') directory and type:
> sicstus -l evaluate.pl --goal "main."
To start the GUI type (from the same directory as above):
> run.bat
Another example of this is pbnetexamples('pbtest.NET'), which illustrates several advanced features like:
server_started
)
The example is run by executing the C# program PBTest
:
> PBTest
ASPX Servers Pages. If you want to get your Prolog application to be accessible from an intranet or the Internet you can use this package to embed the Prolog programs into a .NET ASP page which can be served by e.g. Internet Information Services.
An example of how to do this is provided in pbnetexamples('prologasp.NET/eval.aspx'). Consult your IIS documentation for how to configure it for an ASPX page.

--- title: One-Time Pads and Plausible Deniability layout: post tags: [crypto] uuid: 41c7ad8a-7214-3285-500a-d88191e2e2ce ---
In a previous post I discussed one-time pads. The information for this post comes from Bruce Schneier's Applied Cryptography (section 10.8).
One-time pads are great for something called plausible deniability. With plausible deniability, when a person holding encrypted data is coerced into decrypting their data, the interrogator will not be able to tell if the person is complying with the decryption order or not. For example, the victim could provide an alternate key that decrypts the ciphertext into some harmless dummy plaintext. To make this more plausible, the plaintext would probably be something potentially embarrassing, such as pornography or secret love letters.
We have a one-time pad K
, a plaintext P
, a
dummy plaintext (the pornography or love letters) D
, a
dummy key K'
, and a ciphertext C
. Below, I
denote XOR with ^
.
To encrypt our plaintext, its the normal one-time pad algorithm,
P ^ K = C
Bob and Alice share K, so decryption works like,
C ^ K = P
However, the secret police come along with
their
thumbscrews and demand that Alice and Bob give them the one-time
pad K
. Instead, they will provide K'
. How is
K' defined? Like this,
K' = C ^ D
Because K
is a one-time pad and is randomly generated,
there is no way to prove that K'
is not the real
key. Alice and Bob give up K'
. The secret police decrypt
it,
C ^ K' = C ^ C ^ D = D
"See? We were just keeping our love affair a secret from our spouses!"

Is there any examples of utilizing the rpc calls from a website? Does the end user need to have agama open and the chain running on native mode for the rpc calls to run?
dukeleto17-Dec-18 08:16 PM
@Smedley that is a security issue, which is why many things are designed to prevent a website from talking to your local wallet. Otherwise, random websites could steal your money. This kind of bug has happened before
older versions of Electrum had a bug that let evil websites talk to your local wallet and potentially steal funds, and definitely lose privacy/etc

@dukeleto Thanks for the resources and explanation. So currently making a dapp on a website is not a possibility?
blackjok3r17-Dec-18 11:48 PM
You can do it sure
I've been thinking of something just like that for #kmdlabs. There are plentybof RPC calls that don't have anything to do with funds, and a node with its wallet disabled should be fine for that type of thing, but it depends what u want to do.(edited)
Smedley18-Dec-18 12:50 AM
Would assets contract potentially work?
blackjok3r18-Dec-18 01:59 AM
You would need to be able to create al the transactions locally on your website
When I mean it cannot use a wallet .... I kind of mean that the deamon litteralyl has no wallet compiled in.
The are probably other ways to do it ... but apart from creating all the transacions with some java script library locally and using SPV or something to send th eraw hex to the blockchain ... I'm not sure it can be done . The other way is something like @smk762 - dracocanis ominator 's DragonHound... Its due for a pre release soon so show what he has been able to accomplish. This projec uses 1 central server, and "logins" for multiple "users" to post GPS locations to the blockchain. Started out to track his exacaping dog but realy has evolved into something quite awesome, that ca be used to stro any sensor data on the blockchain.

SuSC13518-Dec-18 09:39 PM
Hey I have written this code in python to get info. But I am getting a a error. It says ujson needs an object or a variable. I am assuming that getinfo methods needs some kind of input parameter. Is my call correct. My daemon is running and I am getting result if I try from the shell.
It should be a network/routing issue, since you cant establish RPC call via curl you cant do it with the same credentials in your python program as well
SuSC13519-Dec-18 02:52 AM
What do you suggest I should do to debug this?
Should I just run the komodo in a virtual env and try to access it form there?
TonyL19-Dec-18 02:54 AM
Hmm, just to understand picture better: is machine/os with komodo daemon and machine/os from which you're trying to do RPC calls are the same one?
SuSC13519-Dec-18 02:55 AM
yes I am running daemon and trying to access it from the same machine . Its windows 10
smk762 - dracocanis ominator19-Dec-18 02:56 AM
Anything in debug.log?
Maybe win is disalowing run? Whats the win equivalent of chmod?
TonyL19-Dec-18 02:59 AM
Btw maybe curl request example above isn't valid for Windows. Never tried to curl/RPC connect to komodod on Windows tbh
SuSC13519-Dec-18 03:00 AM
Well yeah I can make komodo global environment variable
I used a Mingw64 a wrapper for windows to do a curl call
Like GitBash
TonyL19-Dec-18 03:16 AM
@SuSC135 Are you trying to call getinfo on KMD chain or assetchain?
Just noticed that you get 401 Unauthorized for one of your RPC call methods
SuSC13519-Dec-18 03:18 AM
I am trying it on my assets chain
TonyL19-Dec-18 03:18 AM
Oh, thats where is the clue
SuSC13519-Dec-18 03:18 AM
Should i include the name of my asset chain or txid somewhere?
TonyL19-Dec-18 03:19 AM
username/password for assetchain connection store in /.komodo/%assetchainname%/%assetchainname%.conf
So there should be the folder with your assetchain name in same folder with komodo.conf
And inside this folder assetchainname.conf which defines connection params to your assetchain daemon
So you need to allow rpc connections in this assetchain config, restart assetchain daemon and try again your RPC calls with username/password same as in assetchainname.conf
SuSC13519-Dec-18 03:22 AM
Ok this is what i was missing out on. Let me try this

jorian20-Dec-18 06:44 PM
create your own chain
which coin?
SuSC13520-Dec-18 06:59 PM
Komodo coins
And how do I mine
jl777c20-Dec-18 07:02 PM
if you create your own chain you can specify how many coins you want

Hey @dukeleto can you you tell me the kind of mathematical skills i need to work on in order to learn to code for crypto please

@GlorymanRTS it depends on the coding you want to do, but in general, the more math you know, the more kinds of things you will be able to code
GlorymanRTS20-Dec-18 10:16 PM
@dukeleto I'm going to code for KMD labs and I might try coding bitstreams. Can u give me some maths to work on please.

Colleges, providers, schools and academies receive annual funding allocations from the Education Funding Agency (EFA) for provision of 16 to 19 education.
These documents gives advice about the individualised learner record (ILR) returns for institutions funded by the EFA.
The reconciliation advice only applies to contract institutions and does not apply to school or academy sixth-forms who return school census data.
The contract institution reconciliation workbook supports institutions in understanding the main document. It gives the tables from annex C in spreadsheet format, so that institutions can see how the values are calculated. There is also an example of how clawback is calculated and applied to profile payments.
The cash reduction made to 2016 to 2017 allocations for students who did not meet the condition of funding in 2014 to 2015 is also being applied to institutions funded out-turn in 2016 to 2017. This ensures those institutions who are subject to funding reconciliation are treated equally in respect of the condition of funding as those who are not subject to reconciliation. This approach ensures that the funding removed from 2016 to 2017 allocations through non-compliance with the condition of funding for some students in 2014 to 2015 cannot be offset by delivery in 2016 to 2017. This deduction will not affect the calculation of lagged funding allocation values for 2017 to 2018.

Speaking to reporters outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, Ontario on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked about recent media reports that the Government of Canada expects the social distancing and public shutdown guidelines to continue until July.
Trudeau refused to give a specific timeline on when the lockdowns and quarantines might be lifted but said Wednesday the measures could last for “weeks or even months.”
“We know [these measures] are going to be in place a number of more weeks, perhaps even months. But everything depends on how Canadians behave,” Trudeau told reporters Wednesday.
“The choices you make to stay at home, to self-isolate, not to go to six different grocery stores… these sorts of things are what will arrest the spread and the increase of this virus.”
As well Patty Hajdu, Canada's Minister of Health, and Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, were both asked on Wednesday to offer their professional assessments of what a "best case" and a "worst-case" scenario looks like for Canada as it continues to grapple with the outbreak of COVID-19.


Press release
Ofsted has today published the full independent review into alleged inspection irregularities at three academy schools in Norfolk.
Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, appointed a senior legal professional Julian Gizzi to undertake a detailed review of the original investigation into claims first made in a Sunday newspaper in August 2014.
Mr Gizzi, a partner at international law firm DAC Beachcroft, was asked to examine all the evidence considered as part of the investigation by Ofsted’s Director of Quality and Training, Sir Robin Bosher, and the conclusions reached in his report published on 23 September 2014. He was also asked to consider further material relevant to the allegations which came to light after Sir Robin had completed his review.
Mr Gizzi has concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, no-one associated with any of the three schools in question, Ormiston Victory Academy, Great Yarmouth Primary Academy and Thetford Academy, received more than the requisite half a day’s notice of the date of their inspection, contrary to claims published in the Observer newspaper.
He said that Sir Robin Bosher had carried out his original investigation “with an open mind, that he acted with fairness and integrity and that his overall approach was methodical and diligent.” His conclusion was that Sir Robin’s investigation “was, overall, appropriate” and the conclusions he reached “were reasonable”.
The documents provided to the independent reviewer also supported Sir Robin’s conclusion that the academies at the centre of the allegations expended considerable time and energy preparing for impending Ofsted inspections.
Today’s 56-page report has been published in full and without redaction on the Ofsted website.
Commenting on the conclusions of the independent review, Sir Michael Wilshaw said:
I would like to thank Julian Gizzi for carrying out this comprehensive review.
The claims that were made about certain Norfolk schools being given advance notice of Ofsted inspection dates were very serious and damaging. I am, therefore, pleased that the overall findings in our original enquiry are supported by the conclusions reached by the independent and impartial review. I am also pleased that Mr Gizzi has recognised that Sir Robin’s original investigation was professional, substantial and rigorous.
Sir Michael added:
What today’s review does lay bare is the extent to which some Norfolk schools were on such a high degree of ‘Ofsted readiness’ for weeks and even months before the inspection actually took place.
It’s very important that schools maintain a sense of proportion when preparing for an Ofsted inspection. In my experience, the best schools devote their energies to getting things right for their pupils, not for inspectors. Leaders should be focusing on making sure there is good teaching, robust assessment and a positive and respectful learning culture at their school. If they are attending well to these things then an Ofsted inspection will usually take care of itself.

Teen flicks. Can a film still be considered a "teen flick" when it is set in college, speaks of "true love", the path of one's professional career and reflective issues such as pregnancy, cheating on one's mate and long-distance relationships? Of course!
PLOT: A young man set to begin his life after college, ponders the moments that led to his first true love, their misadventures within the world of the tingles, and the happy and sad times of their topsy-turvy relationship.
CRITIQUE: Kinda cute, kinda sweet, kinda corny, kinda predictable, kinda romantic, kinda funny, kinda dramatic and kinda forgettable...and ultimately, kinda so-so. I've generally given greater points to these predictable "teen flicks" when they come saddled with a couple of charming stars who can hold my attention for the entire 90 minutes, and this one had just that, with Freddie Prinze coming through once again as the shy, goofy, romantic lead, and Julia Stiles, as the cute, ambitious, engaging co-star. Does the film offer us any new insights into those loopy men from Mars or women from Venus? Well, not really, but I suppose I just happened to be in the mood for a light, romantic, easy-going drama with a couple of laughs (The "Cooks!" TV show was pretty funny), and I guess this movie offered me just that with not much else. Truth is, this film is probably more of a "video movie" than anything else. Rent it with your better half, cuddle up next to a wood-burning fire, warm up some nachos and get jiggy with it for the rest of the nite. You might also want to bring a date to this film, seeing as it has a lot to do with people meeting and getting to know each other better, and be prepared to jostle over the film's depth for a maximum of five minutes afterwards.
You'll also be happy to know that there are no fart, poop or vomit jokes in the entire film (Although those types of jokes do have a place in some movies), and that the two sing-a-long sequences from the respective stars, despite lacking originality, were quite lovey-dovey and adorable in their own sugar-coated, manufactured way. I have to admit that I didn't much care for the exaggerated side characters in the film, especially Selma Blair and Zak Orth, who just seemed to be there as "bizarre" distractions to the main cute couple. All in all, I guess it would help if you were in a relationship yourself when you see this movie, or at least have savored a touch of the big L sometime in your lifetime.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: One of Freddie Prinze Jr's earliest roles was playing the role of "Tough Guy" on the February 10, 1995 episode of TV's "Family Matters".  He then went on to star in several after-school specials, including one called "Detention: Siege at Johnson High", co-starring the man who plays his dad in this picture, Henry Winkler. Some of you might remember Julia Stiles from one of her earliest roles as Bridget O'Meara, daughter of Tom O'Meara, played by Harrison Ford, in 1997's THE DEVIL'S OWN. Selma Blair is probably best known for her "shocking" french-kissing scene with Sarah Michelle Gellar in 1999's CRUEL INTENTIONS (7.5/10). Ironically, Selma herself once auditioned for the role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a role which Gellar has owned since the show's debut in 1997. This is director Kris Isacsson's first feature film. In 1996, he was credited as being Barbra Streisand's "assistant" for the film THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (7/10).
