 Give an example of a failed attempt to trademark the Bitcoin name.

The UK filing seems to be the first successful trademark using the name Bitcoin as there have been other undertakings in the past. Back in March of 2015, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) rejected the company Urban Trend’s attempt to trademark the name Bitcoin (Reg 86135516). A year later during the same month, the Russian patent agency Rospatent denied the Moscow-based firm M-Group when it tried to copyright the Bitcoin name.

 What makes Bristol a leading smart city in the UK?

The UK's first Smart Cities Index has named Bristol as the country's leading smart city outside London and leader of the pack for digital innovation.
Bristol is particularly strong in the digital innovation category, which evaluates the city's strategy to develop and exploit digital technologies and services, scoring the top mark of 92 out of a possible 100 points. It also comes out top for stakeholder engagement, implementation of projects and delivery of the city's digital strategy. Bristol's overall score in the Smart Cities Index is 80.2, just behind London which scored 80.5.
Rick Chapman, high tech sector specialist at Invest Bristol and Bath - the inward investment agency for the region, said: "To be named as the top city for digital innovation and one of only two smart city leaders in the UK is fantastic news for Bristol. This is testament to the city's extensive smart city strategy and ambitious goals but also to its commitment to delivering on projects and working well with communities and stakeholders to make them happen.
"Bristol is fast becoming known as a national and international digital hub and this report cements our position as leading the UK in this sector."
Huawei's report also takes particular note of Bristol's strengths in open data access, energy innovation and community engagement. For example, its Playable City initiative has brought together artists and designers from the UK and beyond to experiment and prototype playful interventions that use creative technologies to rethink public space (see case study below).
Clare Reddington, creative director at Watershed - Bristol's cultural and digital creativity centre, says: "All over the world governments and technology companies are investing in smart systems for cities, using networks and sensors to join up services and collect data, as a drive for efficiency. Playable City is born out of Bristol's unique take on people-centred technology solutions and the belief that our future cities need to be democratic, surprising and inclusive to remain relevant and engaging. We are delighted we have been able to take this uniquely Bristolian way of thinking and share it with the world."
Gordon Luo, CEO, Huawei UK, said: "Bristol is a city that is driving the UK's digital agenda, highlighted by its pioneering smart cities innovations. We opened our Bristol R&D centre in 2014 as part of Huawei's UK Innovation Programme, precisely because we were attracted by the highly-skilled technology professionals in the area and the city's open mindset towards innovation. Our work researching ICT chips, software, and analogue chip technology in Bristol is genuinely world-class and is part of that city-wide drive towards a smarter, tech-driven future."

 What is the latest news on the Twin Metals proposed copper mine near Ely?

Feds say Twin Metals plan poses too big a risk to BWCA.
In a major victory for environmentalists, the federal government said it will not renew two mineral leases held by Twin Metals Minnesota, saying its proposed copper mine near Ely poses too great a risk of contaminating the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
“The Boundary Waters is a national treasure, special to the 150,000 who canoe, fish and recreate there each year, and is the economic life blood to local businesses that depend on a pristine natural resource,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in announcing the decision Thursday.
The ruling slams the brakes on one of two copper-nickel mines proposed for northern Minnesota, and is likely to intensify an emotional debate that pits the region’s storied mining industry against a rare and much-loved forest wilderness.
Twin Metals called the decision inconsistent with federal law and government precedent — arguments it has pressed in a federal lawsuit — and said it would continue pursuing legal remedies.
“If allowed to stand, the [decision] will have a devastating impact on the future economy of the Iron Range … eliminating the promise of thousands of good-paying jobs and billions of dollars of investment in the region,” company spokesman Bob McFarlin said.
• Twin Metals Minnesota has proposed a $2.8 billion copper-nickel mine near Ely, in the Boundary Waters watershed. Regulators denied a renewal of the company’s mineral leases.
• PolyMet Mining has proposed an open-pit mine near Hoyt Lakes, in a watershed that drains toward Lake Superior. PolyMet is applying for state mining permits.
In a related and emphatic step, the Forest Service said it also wants to protect 234,000 acres outside the Boundary Waters from mining and geothermal activity — an expanse considerably larger than the area covered by Twin Metals’ mineral leases.
The Forest Service said it has applied to the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw the affected acres, all of which lie inside Minnesota’s Superior National Forest, from mining activity for the next 20 years. A final decision on that request could take up to two years.
Federal officials said the Forest Service made its decision after hearing from about 30,000 people, including former Vice President Walter Mondale and residents who attended listening sessions in Ely and Duluth in July. Gov. Mark Dayton has also weighed in against mining near the Boundary Waters.
The much-anticipated ruling instantly sent ripples across Minnesota’s political and environmental communities.
“I’m beyond unhappy,” said Ely Mayor Chuck Novak. “Where are you going to get the copper you’re going to put in your cellphones and computers?” Novak called the decision a “circumvention of law,” referring to the 1978 Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Act.
But Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, blasted the decision as a misguided step by the “lame-duck” Obama administration.
“It is astounding that Democrats are blocking what would be one of the largest private construction projects in state history, while also depriving Iron Range workers of hundreds of good-paying jobs that would follow,” Daudt said.
The Twin Metals project, a $2.8 billion underground mine, has been a painful flash point on Minnesota’s Iron Range, where mining jobs have been on the decline for years. The proposal, and one by PolyMet Mining, have kicked off a struggle between those who foresee a revival of the region’s mining industry and those who say it’s more important to protect wilderness and the recreation industry that has sprung up around it.
The risk from such drainage is acute because water from the area of the proposed Twin Metals mine flows north into the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park. The result could be “catastrophic” for fish and other wildlife, an Agriculture Department official said in an interview.
Specifically, the Agriculture Department’s U.S. Forest Service said it has decided to deny the renewal of Twin Metals’ two hard-rock mineral leases near the Boundary Waters, which were first granted decades ago and expired in 2013. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which oversees mineral deposits, said it is rejecting Twin Metals’ application for renewal.
Whether the decision could be reversed by the incoming Trump administration is unclear. A BLM official said the decision is final and not subject to any appeal. The mining company’s only option now is to sue, the official said, which Twin Metals has already done.
Twin Metals is owned by Chilean mining giant Antofagasta PLC. In the complaint the company said it has spent more than $400 million developing the project, which would lie between Ely and Babbitt. It says Minnesota has the largest untapped copper-nickel deposit in the world, worth more than $40 billion.
The federal government has asked a judge to dismiss the Twin Metals suit.
To officially withdraw the 234,000 acres of land in Superior National Forest from mining would involve extensive public input and scientific work that must be completed within two years. During that two-year period there can be no mining activity.
That move affects about 46 other applications for various types of exploration. The Twin Metals mineral leases were the only active leases on that land, officials said.

 Tell me about Luke Macfarlane's upcoming projects.

Luke Macfarlane broke our hearts in the first season of Killjoys, but we’re thrilled they are already working on season two. The bad news? We’ll have to wait six months for those episodes. The good news? Macfarlane is back on our TVs Sunday night opposite Awkward‘s Nikki DeLoachÂ in Christmas Land, a very sweet, fun Christmas movie for Hallmark Channel. And next month, he’s on PBS in the Civil War era miniseries/limited series Mercy Street. I jumped on the phone with MacfarlaneÂ this week to talk about his projects.
Christmas Land is Macfarlane’s second outing for Hallmark after 2014’s The Memory Book (when I interviewed him the first time), and it was a super-fast turnaround. They just wrapped filming in November and were able to take advantage of an early winter in Salt Lake City, which helped them set the tone.
Starting next month, we can see Macfarlane in Mercy Street, a Civil War-era drama with Josh Radnor and Elizabeth Winstead, which PBS is positioning as a pickup series for audiences anxious to fill a post-Downton Abbey void. Macfarlane plays a Chaplain, and he was happy to dive into such a historical piece.
Mercy Street isn’t Macfarlane’s first foray into period territory. He shot a miniseries for CBC a few years back called Iron Road, about the building of the railroad. [You can now buy that on DVD in the U.S.; for a while there it was only available in Canada].
Mercy Street begins January 17th on PBS. Killjoys and The Night Shift return in mid-2016.
Christmas Land premieres Sunday night at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. DeLoach plays a career marketing exec who’s plan to sell her late grandmother’s Christmas-themed village gets derailed when she strikes up a friendship with the lawyer (Macfarlane) handling the estate, and she realizes what the village means to the community. Here’s a sneak peek of Christmas Land.

 Name five examples of VR experiences.

Virtual reality (VR) technology secured its place in popular culture through films such as The Lawnmower Man and The Matrix, as well as books such as Ready Player One, which Steven Spielberg is adapting for a movie. They presented visions of technology whereby strapping on a VR headset (or, as in The Matrix, being imprisoned in pods and hooked up to a computer network by human-farming machines) enabled people to explore virtual, computer-generated worlds.
In 2017, these cultural touchstones are freshly in mind for the television industry, as it tries to understand whether real-life headsets can be used to deliver new forms of drama, documentary and storytelling.
Multiple attempts in past decades to make VR a real-world success floundered. However, the release of a new generation of VR headsets in 2016 from Sony, Google, Samsung, HTC and Facebook-owned Oculus VR has brought the technology back to prominence.
The promise: connect a headset to a games console (Sony’s PlayStation VR), a computer (Oculus Rift or HTC’s Vive) or your smartphone (Samsung’s Gear VR or Google’s Daydream View) and you can watch video, play games and explore virtual worlds, turning your head around for 360-degree vision, and interacting via a controller.
VR experiences in their current form range from fending off zombies in survival-horror game Resident Evil 7 and exploring the ocean depths with David Attenborough to watching Paul McCartney play live from an onstage vantage point, experiencing solitary confinement or exploring a Syrian refugee camp.
TV firms want to know more. At this month’s MIPTV industry conference in Cannes, VR was a major theme for producers, broadcasters and tech companies alike.
That message is not falling on deaf ears. For all the talk of a Netflix and HBO-fuelled “golden age of television” at conferences like this, there is also an underlying jitteriness in the TV industry about the migration of younger viewers away from traditional channels towards videos on YouTube, Snapchat and Instagram.
Partnerships with those companies is one trend, but VR has emerged – or at least is being pitched by the headset-makers – as another way for television firms to stay relevant.
The challenge is that in 2017 VR is far less popular than those apps. YouTube has more than one billion monthly viewers, Instagram has more than 600 million and Snapchat has 158 million daily users. By contrast, even VR evangelists admit that only around 20 million headsets have been sold, including fewer than 2 million of the “tethered” devices, which require a connection to a powerful computer. Still, with research company Greenlight Insights predicting that by 2021 headset owners will spend $9bn a year on VR content, TV producers and broadcasters are keen to start experimenting with the technology now.
This is as much a creative challenge as a business one. Many VR experiences to date have either been games or non-interactive video – the equivalent to early television shows adopting the conventions of radio, and early cinema doing the same with theatre. But like TV and films VR has the potential to evolve its own language and formats.
Benson also said making the viewer/player the main character in a VR narrative can also create headaches. “How can you guarantee they’re going to drive the narrative in the way you want?” he said, suggesting that what may work better is to have them be a secondary character, led through the story by a virtual lead. In this situation, the viewer is “more Robin than Batman … more Chewbacca than Han Solo”.
“Some of our best directors are transitioning from theatre, and they understand groups of people, dynamics and choreography,” said Solomon Rogers, whose studio Rewind has just released a VR experience based on the film Ghost in the Shell.
“It’s theatre. It’s an experiential script. It’s part Charles Dickens, part Arthur Miller and part your television or film writer,” added Brian Seth Hurst from VR production company StoryTech Immersive.
Very few people are getting rich from creating virtual-reality stories in 2017, but this may serve to encourage experimentation and risk-taking, as well as partnerships between TV companies and VR tech startups to understand what VR can offer that’s unique. Their hopes are that this in turn will persuade more people to buy a headset. One danger for the industry is that if people’s first experience of VR is bad – whether it gives them motion-sickness or just turns them off with clunky storytelling and ill thought-out interactivity – they will not come back for a long time.
TV firms are cautious but intrigued by the possibilities. You can expect to see a number of shows get VR spin-offs in 2017 and 2018, as well as some attempts at VR-only experiences. “VR is still very much jury out,” said Kim Shillinglaw, from TV producer Endemol Shine.
“That idea of a piece or kit or a new approach to technology really driving storytelling and opening up a new wave of television is really interesting. It’s incumbent on all of us to stay really curious about all these applications,” she added.

 Describe the process of preparing for the new F1 season after the end of the previous one.

A little over two weeks ago, the garage shutters rolled down for the final time in Abu Dhabi and the covers were placed over the cars.
Finally, after nine months of travel, racing and frantic activity, the teams and their crews went home to relax.
Just a day later after the final race in 2017, the team’s air freight arrived back at the McLaren Technology Centre service yard.
The mechanics roll into work on Monday morning and immediately began unpacking the freight containers, busily pulling out all the constituent parts ahead of the winter rebuild.
Briggs and his team spend about a week unpacking the freight pallets and sending everything quickly away for servicing. Turnaround times in the non-F1 world are far slower than those required by a fast-moving grand prix team. And, besides, the deadlines for preparing sea freight for the first race of 2018, in Australia, are also incredibly tight.
The three tubs (Fernando’s and Stoffel’s cars and a spare) that return from Abu Dhabi make only the briefest of farewells at MTC before being packed off to a separate location, where they’ll be stored, and the spare parts archived away.
Briggs runs everything from a series of extensive spreadsheets, these enable him to know which member of the team is working on which exact component, where that part is and when it’ll be back at the factory.
He certainly needs the spreadsheets: “It’s a huge job,” he concedes. “We strip down the fuel-rigs and chillers. They need a full repaint, the pumps need servicing, and the chillers go off for a service.
“All our wheel rims become obsolete at the end of each year, so they’re stripped of the sensors and components we can re-use, and everything is bagged up and returned. The tyre warmers and control boxes are then sent for servicing.
“The tyre pressure gauges go back to the manufacturers. The big mechanics’ toolboxes are emptied of tools; all the drawers are taken out, and everything is stripped down and sent to paint. Once they come back, they’re restocked and readied for the first test.
“All the garage equipment needs servicing – the wheel-guns, fuel-rigs, overhead gantries, the timing stand, the pit-lane gantry. The engineers’ centre console unit is stripped of its electronics and internals and broken down. Obviously, paint-shops can’t paint items that are full of electrical equipment or IT kit, so it all needs to be removed.
For Briggs and his team, it’s the sea freight deadlines that provide the most pre-Christmas angst. Almost unbelievably, the sea freight for the opening race in Australia leaves in the first week of January 2018.
All the teams divide their cargo between sea- and air-freight delivery. Air-freight is far more expensive, but faster and therefore more convenient, so it’s perfectly suited to rapid-turnaround parts, like the cars themselves and all the spares. Sea-freight is far slower – it takes weeks to reach Australia and the Far East – but cheaper, so the teams pack off their less-essential items (garage panelling, the overhead gantry, electric cables, airlines, consumables – such as nuts, bolts, lubricants and cleaning products – tables, chairs, printers, and some of the heavier fabrication kit, such as vices and presses.
In 2017 McLaren sent an average of 33.5 tonnes of air-freight to each and every race. We have five sets of sea-freight, each of which fits into two 40ft sea containers.
The Christmas break provides an inconveniently timed two-week pause in the preparations for the new season. The festive period is a critical part of the team’s preparations, but it naturally puts a two-week handbrake on turnaround times from suppliers and manufacturers.
The first month of the year is when everything comes back and starts to be built back up by the mechanics. The first 2018 chassis won’t ordinarily appear until early February, and will be largely taken care of by a separate car-build crew, so January is busy with prepping and fettling the freight.
As the mechanics wait for the first chassis to appear, they are also preparing physically for the long season ahead. That means pit-stop practice twice a day, and twice-weekly gym sessions to get the pit-stop crew into shape.

 Summarize what happened when CNN anchor Poppy Harlow and Roy Moore spokeswoman Jane Porter had a shouting match.

Roy Moore spokeswoman Jane Porter engaged in a shouting match with CNN anchor Poppy Harlow Tuesday morning over the sexual allegations against the Republican Alabama Senate candidate. Eight women have now come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. He denies any wrongdoing.
The strangest exchanges in Tuesday's interview came when Porter kept mentioning Harlow’s pregnancy. During her introduction, Porter thanked Harlow for inviting her on the show, before congratulating her on her unborn child and noting that Moore is in the Alabama Senate race to protect children like hers. His Democratic opponent Doug Jones, on the other hand, has a radical abortion agenda.
Harlow shrugged off the remarks, but Porter brought her pregnancy up again later in the discussion, noting that Moore is promoting Second Amendment policies that would allow women like Harlow to protect their unborn children.
“Let’s leave my child out of this,” Harlow finally said.
In the midst of their discussing Harlow's unborn child, the two also went back and forth about the allegations against Moore.
"Do you believe any of these eight women?" Harlow asked Porter.
Porter did not answer directly, but kept pointing out that a few specific reports had been exposed as falsehoods, such as the "yearbook fraud" and the woman who had pled guilty to felony fraud.
"They’re trying to steal this election by deception," Porter said of the accusers.
Harlow kept pressing for a "yes" or "no," but Porter insisted Harlow's premise was wrong.
“There’s a reason people call you fake news," she said.
After weeks of consideration, President Trump endorsed Moore this week, and the Republican National Committee is once again committing resources to his campaign.

 Have you heard any news about another Resistance game?

Insomniac Games is set to release Marvel’s Spider-Man exclusively for the PS4 on September 7, but don’t expect Resistance to be its next title.
You can’t fault Insomniac Games’ resumè. Over the course of its 24-year history, the studio has managed to add three massive and successful franchises into video gaming’s pantheon of all-time greats. Some feat! Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank and Resistance all come from the creative talent at Insomniac Games. There are also plenty of standalone releases in and around those, including Fuse and Sunset Overdrive.
Its next title, releasing exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on September 7, is Marvel’s Spider-Man. It’s a notable departure for the developer: the first time it’s ever worked on a licensed product.
However, as we’ve come to expect from the studio, it’s a quality gaming experience. I've been lucky enough to play a few hours of it and can’t praise the polish and combat enough. I cannot yet vouch for the depth of the world and unlock tree, or whether the story is compelling, but the core gameplay is a riot.
Check out the latest episode of GxB below – at roughly 34min if you want to jump ahead – as I talk through my thoughts and explain the gameplay over some footage.
After playing the game, I got a chance to talk to James Stevenson, community director at Insomniac Games. You may have caught an earlier article I posted, where he spoke in length about how Insomniac feels the blockchain will impact gaming in the future. But I also asked him what he thought of a possible Resistance 4 being the studio’s next game.
If you were a betting man, what odds would you give to there being another entry in the Resistance series?
James Stevenson: Oh wow, if I was a betting man? It feels like it’s a longshot to me. But I have learned over the years to never say never. I think there are a lot of people out there that have fond memories of a Resistance game from the PS3 era, but yeah, never say never, it’s just that we have no plans to make another Resistance game in the future.
Do you think you’d ever let another developer look after a core Resistance game?
JS: I’m not sure. Obviously other developers made the portable versions for the PSP (2009’s Resistance: Retribution by Bend Studio) and Vita (2012’s Resistance: Burning Skies by nStigate Games) back in the day. It’s actually Sony that owns the IP and owns that universe. So I guess if they were really passionate about making Resistance 4 and we couldn’t or didn’t want to do it, Sony could totally engage another developer. But that would be up to Sony, not us.
Insomniac Games has built then happily moved away from a series before – see Spyro – and this latest comment would all but confirm a similar attitude to Resistance. It’s interesting that the series isn’t owned by Insomniac Games, who despite a long relationship with Sony, is an independent studio. A studio whose last major release – Sunset Overdrive – was an Xbox One exclusive no less.
But clearly Sony hasn’t approached Insomniac Games about a Resistance 4, either. Perhaps that isn’t a surprise. The series dwindled in popularity, with sales dropping from Resistance: Fall of Man ($4.37 million) to Resistance 2 ($2.47 million) to Resistance 3 ($1.49 million). So as it stands Resistance fans, it doesn’t look like Chimera will be invading again anytime soon and breaking up Capelli’s happy family.

 Have you heard about the guy who changed his gender to save money on car insurance?

The man, identified by the pseudonym “David” by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), said he had merely “taken advantage of a loophole.” The CBC reported that a collision and a couple of tickets on his record increased David's cost to insure his Chevrolet Cruze. "I was pretty angry about that. And I didn't feel like getting screwed over any more," David told CBC.
"It was pretty simple," he said. "I just basically asked for it and told them that I identify as a woman, or I'd like to identify as a woman, and [the doctor] wrote me the letter I wanted."

 What do you think of Brexit?

Former president Mary McAleese has described herself as heartbroken by Brexit, adding that “we’re all going to be to some extent broken by it”.
Speaking at the Irish Embassy in London, she said the Border must remain invisible, rather than “frictionless” after Britain leaves the European Union.
Ms McAleese said EU membership had not only transformed the relationship between Britain and Ireland but created diversity, solidarity and understanding within and between its member states.
“This is what the European Union has given us, an integrated human family, a diverse human family, living together, working together, meeting together, sharing together, going to school together. And somebody wants to walk away from that? To interrupt it? To say that somebody in Europe or in Brussels didn’t connect well enough with us? I’m sorry, I’m heartbroken by Brexit and I think we’re all going to be to some extent broken by it,” she said.
Ms McAleese was delivering the annual Henry Grattan lecture in conversation with RTÉ’s northern editor Tommie Gorman.
She rejected the suggestion that Brexit was caused by the remoteness of the European institutions and affirmed her confidence in the European project of political integration.
“I am an absolute unreconstructed supporter of the marvellous adventure in democracy of the European Union. Frankly, it’s the best idea humankind has had forever. Forever. The best idea. And I can’t believe that anybody would willingly walk away from that or so freely walk away from that. I use the word ‘disappointed’ but actually I’m utterly heartbroken that people didn’t get it,” she said.
“Did we not connect enough? Did we not explain enough? Did we not tell a new generation what this great adventure was about? That it was about securing peace, so that they could walk the streets and not be conscripted into armies to kill each other ever again.

 Write a summary of the recent events involving the Skripals and response by the UK, US and Russia.

In a major embarrassment to the UK establishment, the chief scientist from the UK's Porton Down military laboratory facility, Gary Aitkenhead, told Sky News that they had been unable to prove that the novichok nerve agent used to poison Sergei and Yulia Skripal came from Russia.
"We were able to identify it as novichok, to identify that it was military-grade nerve agent," Aitkenhead said. "We have not identified the precise source, but we have provided the scientific info to government who have then used a number of other sources to piece together the conclusions you have come to."
The chief scientist said that establishing the Novichok's origin required "other inputs," some of which are intelligence based and which only the government has access to.
Aitkenhead added: "It is our job to provide the scientific evidence of what this particular nerve agent is, we identified that it is from this particular family and that it is a military grade, but it is not our job to say where it was manufactured."
Of course, this humiliation to the official narrative that Putin was clearly behind the assassination attempt all along also begs the question: whose job is it to say where the Novichok came from?
That said, it was also noted that the nerve agent involved required "extremely sophisticated methods to create, something only in the capabilities of a state actor," and that there is no known antidote to Novichok - nor was any administered to either of the Skripals.
Aitkenhead would not say whether the Porton Down facility had manufactured or maintained stocks of Novichok - long rumored to be the case.
"There is no way anything like that could have come from us or left the four walls of our facility," said the chief.
News of the UK's inability to trace the origin of the Novichok comes as a chemical weapons watchdog, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is set to hold an executive council meeting in The Hague on Russia's request.
In a letter, Russia's ambassador to the OPCW, Alexander Shulgin, asked for the meeting to discuss Britain's allegations "in a confidential sitting".
Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned four weeks ago in Salisbury. Russia has insisted on access to the pair.
Russia's Ambassador to the UK, Alexander Yakovenko, says that London's reluctance to share information on the March 4 poisoning of the former double agent and his daughter has led Moscow to suggest that London authorities actually perpetrated the crime.
“Our British colleagues should recall that Russia and the United Kingdom are members of the OPCW which is one of the most successful and effective disarmament and non-proliferation mechanisms," said Russian politician Vasily Shulgin. "We call upon them to abandon the language of ultimatums and threats and return to the legal framework of the chemical convention, which makes it possible to resolve this kind of situation."
“We have very serious suspicion that this provocation was done by British intelligence,” Yakovenko told Russia's NTV channel - adding however that Moscow had no direct proof, but that the UK's behavior constitutes strong circumstantial evidence in support of their theory.
Following the Skripal poisoning, the UK and several of its allies responded by expelling Russian diplomats - with the Trump administration kicking 60 Russians out of the country, and the UK expelling 23. Russia returned "fire" with the expulsion of several foreign diplomats, and a demand that Britain scale back its diplomatic mission in Russia - affecting over 50 jobs.
Yulia's condition is said to have improved significantly last week, and she is now conscious and talking. Meanwhile, Sergei Skripal reportedly remains unresponsive in critical condition.

 Describe the paper "Combining Total and Ad Hoc Extensible Pattern Matching in a Lightweight Language Extension." Give your opinion of its impact on the programming language space.

Combining Total and Ad Hoc Extensible Pattern Matching in a Lightweight Language Extension. Don Syme, Gregory Neverov and James Margetson.
Pattern matching of algebraic data types (ADTs) is a standard feature in typed functional programming languages but it is well known that it interacts poorly with abstraction. While several partial solutions to this problem have been proposed, few have been implemented or used. This paper describes an extension to the .NET language F# called ``Active Patterns'', which supports pattern matching over abstract representations of generic heterogeneous data such as XML and term structures, including where these are represented via object models in other .NET languages. Our design is the first to incorporate both ad hoc pattern matching functions for partial decompositions and ``views'' for total decompositions, and yet remains a simple and lightweight extension. We give a description of the language extension along with numerous motivating examples. Finally we describe how this feature would interact with other reasonable and related language extensions: existential types quantified at data discrimination tags, GADTs, and monadic generalizations of pattern matching.
Quite related to the recent discussions of the relationships between libraries, frameworks and language features.
Its easily google'd but here it is.
This reminds me of the paper Pattern Guards and Transformational Patterns, which proposes a system with similar semantics, but worse syntax - in particular the "matching function" has to be explicitly specified rather than inferred from the pseudo-constructor name.

 Who do you think will be on Juan Carlos Osorio's 23-man roster for the World Cup?

With the March friendlies over, players are running out of time to prove their case to Juan Carlos Osorio for a spot in his final 23 man roster. Here is my prediction of his call up list.
This isn’t my 23 or the best 23, it’s who I think JCO will bring to Russia.
Injuries to Salcedo and Araujo make this tricky but it appears they will be ready to make the trip. Until it is confirmed otherwise, I’m assuming they’ll be in Russia.
I would be shocked if these are not the 3 keepers on the roster. Also, I would be shocked if only 1 of them played at the World Cup.
Thoughts on my prediction? Think I’m far off?

 Respond in detail. Describe the Los Candados gold mine massacre in Venezuela.

Los Candados mine. Photo from Germán Dam's Twitter.
Following the 2016 "Tumeremo Massacre" where 17 miners were killed and another violent episode last August that left 13 people dead, a new massive killing took place this week in Venezuela's so-called Mining Arc.
According to information made public by opposition MP Américo De Grazia, 16 people died and six were injured after two criminal bands clashed in their quest for controlling the Los Candados gold mine. The mine, where seven bodies have already been found, is located near the town of Tumeremo, in the southeastern Bolívar state.
Villagers interviewed by local media have confirmed De Grazia's hypothesis. They also said that even though there is police and military presence now, they cannot leave their homes after certain hours because El Coporo's band is threatening everyone who dares to go outside while the search for the bodies of those who died on October 14 is ongoing. Businesses and schools remain closed.
Despite people's complaints and their demands for safety, regional and central authorities have not made any public announcements related to the massacre. This is the same approach they took after what happened in 2016. However, there is a joint commission composed by members of the army, National Guard, military police, and regional police investigating the case.
In response to the silence from the Nicolas Maduro government, families of the victims gathered in front of Fort Tarabay asking authorities for answers. Another group of people gathered in the La Teja sector, where a commission investigating the case is working.
The Mining Arc of the Orinoco River National Development Strategic Zone is a 111,843 Sq.Km concession area for mining gold, diamond, iron ore, copper, bauxite, coltan, among other resources. The creation of the Arc has been controversial since it was announced in 2016.

 Tell a story about Microsoft Xenix.

Short Bytes: Long before Linus Torvalds wrote Linux, Microsoft was the king of Unix world. The company, somehow, developed Xenix, the most popular version of Unix of its time. However, IBM’s decision to go ahead with MS-DOS in its PCs acted as a death blow to Xenix and Microsoft lost interest in the OS.
Writing Microsoft and Unix in the same sentence is something you’d like to avoid. However, the history books documenting the early days of Redmond tell a different story.
Turning back the pages to the late 1970’s, Microsoft entered into an agreement with AT&T Corporation to license Unix from AT&T. While the company didn’t sell the OS to public, it licensed it to other OEM vendors like Intel, SCO, and Tandy.
As Microsoft had to face legal trouble due to “Unix” name, the company renamed it and came up with its own Unix distribution. So, AT&T licensed Unix to Redmond that was passed on to other OEMs as Xenix.
It’s interesting to recall a time when Microsoft enabled people to run Unix — an operating system originally designed for large and multiuser systems — on a microcomputer. Even though it came first, Unix was probably more powerful than MS-DOS.
Unix even incorporated the elements of BSD and became the most widely installed base of any Unix variant. Talking about the different modifications of Xenix, it was ported to Zilong Z8001, Intel 8086, Tandy Corporation’s 68000 based computers, and even a variant for Apple Lisa.
In early 1980’s, IBM was looking for an OS to power its PC. As IBM didn’t want to maintain any ties with the recently split AT&T, Xenix was automatically rejected. To fulfill, the tech giant’s demand, Microsoft bought 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products and managed to convince IBM to use it in their systems.
Slowly, Microsoft started losing interest in Xenix and traded the full rights of Xenix with SCO, a Xenix partner company. The company filed bankruptcy in 2007 before taking the Xenix legacy to the 21st century in the form of Open Server, previously known as SCO Unix and SCO Open Desktop.
Xenix played an important part in the history of Microsoft and helped it kickstart its affair with desktop operating system development.
Taking a look at those days, it’s pleasant to notice that Microsoft was busy working on different platforms — Windows, Mac, Unix, MS-DOS. These days, they do contribute to Linux kernel and other open source projects. This flexibility was also expressed by Bill Gates himself at Unix Expo in 1996.

 Describe the debate in the German Bundestag on Wednesday concerning the European migrations issue.

Budgetary debates in the Bundestag are always occasions for the German government to offer general justifications for its policies — and the opposition to take potshots at same. But the atmosphere in the German parliament was particularly contentious on Wednesday after a disagreement over migrant policy threatened for days to split Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition and bring down the government.
Merkel's speech was thus an opportunity for her to show that her grip on the reins of power remained firm. The chancellor touted the agreements she brokered last week at the European Council meeting in Brussels, saying that they bridged the varying, and often conflicting, interests of the EU concerning migration.
"How we deal with the migrant question will decide whether Europe continues to exist in the future," Merkel said.
She also said that she had stressed the need to better protect Europe's external borders and conclude partnerships with African nations to combat illegal migration.
"Migration is a global problem that requires a global solution," Merkel told the Bundestag deputies.
Merkel is currently negotiating with her junior coalition partners, the Social Democrats, to gain approval of a compromise migrant plan hammered out between her conservative CDU and its Bavarian sister party, the CSU.
The centrality of this issue to the success or failure of Merkel's fourth term as chancellor was evident in the fact that she barely spoke of her budget at all. Instead she concentrated on migrants in general and in particular on secondary migration, non-EU migrants moving from one country to another within the European Union for economic reasons or to improve their chances of being granted asylum.
That issue has been the main bone of contention between her and her embattled interior minister, Horst Seehofer, the Bavarian conservative who wants to see a much stricter policy. On this score, Merkel proffered an olive branch.
"It cannot be that refugees themselves determine where their applications are processed," Merkel said, citing a deal with Greece that would allow Germany to send migrants back to that Mediterranean country. "There has to be more order to all forms of migration."
Merkel said that she and Seehofer would be holding talks with other EU nations to reach similar agreements. It was a gesture of reconciliation after weeks of conflict with the head of the CSU, in which Seehofer threatened to resign and take his party out of its historical parliamentary voting bloc with the CDU.
At the same time, Merkel cited worldwide declines in military expenditures and the global eradication of diseases as examples both of a general improvement in the human condition and of what can be achieved through international cooperation. She also didn't neglect to mention positive German economic developments such as full state coffers and low unemployment.
Alice Weidel from the anti-immigration AfD accused Merkel of being a "complete failure"
But if Merkel was trying to sell peace and prosperity, the largest opposition party, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), wasn't buying. Before Merkel's speech, AfD joint parliamentary leader Alice Weidel took direct aim at the chancellor.
Weidel called the deal on migrants a "Pyrrhic victory" and prophesied that the governmental crisis over the issue would continue. She added that the conflict was symptomatic of a general failure on the part of the government.
"Under your regime Germany has gone from a motor and stability guarantor to a factor for chaos," Weidel said. "How long do you want to continue this spectacle, Mrs. Merkel? You failed everywhere. You've achieved nothing."
The far-right populist concluded by calling upon Merkel to resign.
"You've divided Germany, and you've divided Europe," Weidel said. "Please stand down."
With SPD approval for the conservative compromise still pending, there was considerable interest in what the Social Democrats would put forward. SPD chairwoman Andrea Nahles said that after a good start, the government had "begun to sputter in the past few weeks." She added that she hoped work on issues other than migration would resume.
But she also seized the chance to send a couple of barbs in Seehofer's direction. Nahles said that the government "didn't need any master plans" — a reference to Seehofer's long-promised but thus far never officially published plan for reforming Germany's approach to asylum seekers. She also insisted that the foundation of government policy remained the coalition agreement signed by the CDU-CSU and the SPD in March and not any deals struck between conservatives alone.
"There is no new situation on the migrant issue," Nahles said, adding that the passage of a general law governing integration in Germany would be an SPD "priority."
The SPD will meet with its coalition partners on Thursday in an attempt to reach a common migration policy and put the governmental crisis to rest.
The chairman of the business-friendly Free Democratic Party (FDP), Christian Lindner, complained that the government had been preoccupied with the migrant issue since 2015 without arriving at a solution. He also suggested the government find a policy that spanned the mainstream political spectrum in Germany since "this is an issue that's so thorny even within your own parliamentary group."
The other opposition parties criticized the emphasis on migrants to the exclusion of other important political issues and said that the spat between the CDU and CSU had harmed the political system as a whole in Germany.
"What you've done in the past weeks has damaged our democracy and encouraged cynicism toward politics," said Left Party co-chairman Dietmar Bartsch. "The 'C' in your name stands for chaos."
"You lost sight of the basics," co-leader of the Greens' parliamentary group Toni Hofreiter said. "What you've created is chaos."
