UC Davis Health Illustration Services Background checks for all firearm transactions could reduce the risk of violence. The key to stopping mass shootings? Treat them like a public health disaster, this scientist says AP Photo/Philip Kamrass By Frankie SchembriSep. 27, 2018 , 11:30 AM
Garen Wintemute Some of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history, including lone gunmen killing 26 people at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, and 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, have occurred in the past 2 years.These tragedies were preventable, says Garen Wintemute, an emergency medicine physician at the University of California (UC), Davis, Medical Center, and the director of UC Davis’s Violence Prevention Research Program. Wintemute has studied gun violence for more than 30 years and is one of the few researchers to approach the matter as an issue of public health. He has gone undercover at gun shows to document illegal activity and worked with California lawmakers to establish gun policies.Wintemute writes about his solutions to gun violence in an opinion piece published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine. Science chatted with him about the unique factors behind mass shootings and which policy interventions are most effective.

But gun violence is one of our leading causes of death and injury, and the implications of this violence are huge in terms of the safety and health of our overall population. So, we treat it as we would any other major health problem. We ask: Where does it come from? How does it get amplified? Who is at risk for developing this problem? Can we learn enough to create a treatment or prevention strategy?Q: How are mass shootings different from other acts of gun violence? A: They are rare, accounting for maybe 1% of deaths from firearm violence. But they are also unique. They are the one form of violence about which no one can tell a story that leaves themselves out. It could happen to me. It could happen to my children. It could happen to my grandchildren. What public mass shootings have sadly done is, for the first time in history, made this everyone’s problem. The specific role of my article is to point out that there are some very specific things that we can do to help make these events a lot less likely to happen. Q: The first way you say we can stop mass shootings is through better background checks. How do we improve them?A: Twenty-two percent of all firearm transfers in the country do not involve a background check. These take place over the internet, at gun shows, or a brokered through “friend of a friend” exchanges. Some states require a background check for all transfers of firearms, but most states do not, and the federal government does not. Comprehensive, well-designed background checks, as well as regular reporting by agencies of incidents that would prohibit someone from purchasing a gun would let us see the full effectiveness of this policy.Q: Your second recommendation is for gun violence restraining orders. What do these involve?A: If a person is credibly believed to be at high and imminent risk of doing harm and has access to firearms, these laws allow law enforcement or family members to go to a judge and present the evidence just as they would in any other court proceeding. The judge can then issue an order that authorizes law enforcement to recover firearms from this individual for a defined period of time, typically just 2 or 3 weeks.These orders, if properly used, would not just prevent individual tragedies but could probably drop rates of violence altogether because it’s so common that a future shooter puts out unmistakable signals of intent to do harm. This can mean telling hospital staff, friends, or family that they’re planning on hurting themselves or others. It can mean unusual patterns of purchasing weapons, like purchasing several firearms in a short time span. Here in California, I am aware of two mass shootings that did not occur because the intended shooters said things like, “I’m going to shoot up a school,” which came to the attention of law enforcement.Q: Do you ever encounter resistance to your work because of the political debate around gun control?A: There’s always controversy with this sort of work, but to me the common ground far outweighs it. One of the policy proposals that is widely seen as highly controversial is to require a background check for all purchases of firearms. More than 90% of the population supports that measure, but so do more than 80% of gun owners and more than 70% of self-identified members of the National Rifle Association.A mistake that is often made—it’s made by the public, it’s made by the media—is to pay attention to the extremes and ignore the fact that the country has basically made up its mind on this one. We just need our leadership to represent the opinions of the people and not the opinions of the extremes.Q: What are you going to study next?A: We’re conducting a true randomized trial of an intervention here in California that identifies people who legally purchased firearms in the past but have just become prohibited from owning firearms. They’ve just been convicted of a violent crime, or they’ve just been served with a domestic violence restraining order, or they’ve just been hospitalized for a psychiatric emergency related to dangerousness to self or others. The intervention in California identifies those people, then puts law enforcement officers at the front door to recover the firearms. Intuitively, it sounds like a good idea, but no one knows whether that process is effective in reducing rates in violence. We are collaborating with enforcement agencies on a randomized trial that involves almost the entire state. This is the same process used throughout medical research to test how effective a given treatment is—only this time the treatment is a firearm policy.
Jordan Spieth of the U.S. hits his second shot on the 10th hole during the fourth round of the Australian Open Golf tournament in Sydney, Sunday, Nov. 26, 2017. (AP Photo/Rick Rycroft)SYDNEY — Defending champion Jordan Spieth’s difficult week in Sydney ended on a positive note Sunday — the American eagled the 18th hole for a 4-under 67.Spieth never seemed comfortable at The Australian Golf Club earlier in the tournament and couldn’t break 70 over the first three rounds, posting earlier scores of 70-71-70 for a tournament total of 6-under 278.ADVERTISEMENT “It was a great finish,” Spieth said. “I felt like I hit a lot of really beautiful shots that weren’t necessarily rewarded today based on just trying to judge the crosswinds.“That’s all it was today.

The Emergency Management Office is warning residents in parts of Nova Scotia to prepare for high winds and heavy rain that could cause localized flooding, tree damage and power outages. “This weather event is not expected to be on the scale of post-tropical storm Arthur, but in its wake with tree-root systems already weakened, we could experience a large number of trees falling on power lines causing power outages and other damage,” said Mark Furey, Minister Responsible for the Emergency Management Office. “I encourage all Nova Scotians to listen to advisories, prepare for possible power outages, check on your neighbours and those most vulnerable in your communities, and take every precaution to minimize damage.” Environment Canada is forecasting wind gusts of up to 90 kilometres per hour over the Eastern Shore and Cape Breton overnight tonight, Sept. 21, and into Monday morning. Areas expecting the strongest winds include Lunenburg, Halifax, Antigonish, Port Hawkesbury and Sydney. Wind and rainfall warnings are currently in effect for these areas, however, any shift in the track will expose a larger area to these strong winds and rain. “Residents can prevent flooding in and around their homes by taking the time to clear storm drains, and minimize their inconvenience due to power outages by running off water, stocking up on batteries and keeping some cash on hand,” said Mr. Furey. “We can’t prevent storms from happening, but we can be prepared to minimize the impact on our families and property.” Anyone experiencing an emergency should call 911. -30-
Paris: Crude production is set to continue expanding in the United States thanks to shale oil, with the country becoming a net exporter from 2021, a development which should reinforce global energy security, the IEA said Monday. “The second wave of the US shale revolution is coming,” Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, said in a statement. New technology that allows for extracting oil and gas from shale rock formations has led to a boom in oil production in the United States in recent years. With low production costs, that boom is set to continue. Also Read – Maruti cuts production for 8th straight month in SepThe IEA forecasts the United States will account for two-thirds of the increase in global oil production and some three-quarters of the expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) over the next five years. This will help the United States surpass Russia and nip at the heels of Saudi Arabia as the world’s top exporter. “This will shake up international oil and gas trade flows, with profound implications for the geopolitics of energy,” said Birol. Rising US shale production was one of the main drivers in the collapse in oil prices in 2014, from which the oil industry is just recovering. Also Read – Ensure strict implementation on ban of import of e-cigarettes: revenue to CustomsProduction outside the OPEC oil cartel is set to continue rising, according to the IEA, which sees it climbing by 6.1 million barrels per day (mbd) to 68.7 mbd in 2024. In addition to the United States, both Brazil and Norway are expected to increase output. Meanwhile, OPEC output is expected to dip in 2019 and 2020, before resuming modest growth to 32 mbd in 2024. Overall, global output is expected to rise by 5.9 mbd by 2024, with output in Iran expected to drop due to US sanctions and Venezuela thanks to its deep economic crisis. The IEA also sees growth in demand for oil to ease, in particular due to slowing expansion in China. Nevertheless, it sees demand increasing by an annual average of 1.2 mbd to 2024. China and India will still account for nearly half of the global increase in oil demand, which is expected to rise by 7.1 mbd to 106.4 mbd in 2024. Moreover, the IEA continues to see no peak in oil demand. The petrochemicals sector and jet fuel will be the key drivers of growth, “more than offsetting a slowdown in gasoline due to efficiency gains and electric cars”, said the IEA.
When James Cameron finished Avatar, and 20th Century Fox released it in theaters, it set the bar 10x higher for both facial animation and CG generally in movies. To get to that point took many years, a lot of money, and unwavering trust from the movie studio and his financial backers.You’d think Cameron would be satisfied. His gamble paid off and the movie made its money back and then a ton more. But Cameron wouldn’t be an innovator and trailblazer in the industry if he didn’t keep pushing, and that’s exactly what he’s trying to do with Avatar 2 and then Avatar 3 which he has already signed up to direct.AdChoices广告Movies are typically filmed at the standard 24fps. It’s all the human eye requires to see motion, and that same film can then be converted to 3D. But Cameron is pushing for 48 and even 60fps when recording his next Avatar project. The reason being that he believes it gives the movies a whole new sense of reality. In his words, “3D shows you a window into reality; the higher frame rate takes the glass out of the window”.This week he has setup a demonstration aimed to convince people that need to be convinced that it was worth doing. The main problem it fixes is one of strobing which disappears as the frame rate goes up. It also improves the brightness of the images captured during filming.Cameron’s production partner John Landau has also pointed out that the equipment used today for digital film production can already do the 48 and 60fps captures. In fact, it’s already used at the higher frame rates, but only to capture footage that needs to be played back in slow motion.If Cameron gets his way, which he usually does, Avatar 2 will raise the bar yet again for quality of visuals.Read more at The Hollywood Reporter
If you have been using the internet for the past week or so, you are probably already well-versed in the Harlem Shake meme. There is some history here, however. The dance originated in 1981, known as the “albee,” and involves — as the numerous videos you have undoubtedly already watched shown — something of a limp arm-shaking convulsion. Artist Baauer released a track to YouTube last year, also dubbed “Harlem Shake,” and then in late January of this year, blogger Filthy_Frank uploaded a video to YouTube that mixed both the original dance and Baauer’s track. You know the rest.Whether you find the meme hilarious, or haven’t followed a proper “meme” in a while because they’re so two years ago, you should watch the above iteration of the Harlem Shake. Whether you have consumed every last drop of the Harlem Shake, or you are being introduced to it right now, never fear, as the above video is the only one you will ever have to watch — or at least the last you will ever need to watch.For anyone inexperienced in all things internet, this Harlem Shake video was brought to you thanks to an internet staple: the poor washing machine being fed a large brick. You may have come across the above GIF in your travels — if you haven’t, you can thank us when you’re done laughing at those nervous, animated eyes. The washing machine video, of course, was its own viral hit back in 2010.
The Labor and Liberal parties are at risk of losing the migrant vote in the upcoming federal election according to the Chairman of the Federation of Ethnic Communities Council of Australia (FECCA), Pino Migliorino.He called on both the major parties to show leadership and bring some balance back to the debate, saying both Labor and Liberal are treating new migrants as a problem and failing to acknowledge Australia as a multicultural nation. “When we have the politicians kiss babies they’re all white,” he said.“There’s a real feeling that we don’t count and there’s a real feeling that this is particularly playing on and stoking fears that people have, which in the main are unfounded,” he said. “None of the parties and neither of the leaders have acknowledged that we are a multicultural society; that immigration has actually been fundamental to how we’ve grown and the lifestyle we now have.”Mr Migliorino said that issues like overcrowding and strained resources, which Labor leader Julia Gillard has identified as problematic, are planning issues and not a result of migration. “What is actually happening in the public debate is that we are getting people to think that it’s immigration which is the problem rather than the lack of infrastructure.” he said. The focus on asylum seekers in the lead up to this election has disproportionately inflated the issue, according to Mr Migliorino, who called the response to asylum seeker boats “ridiculous”. “Overall less than one percent of anyone who comes to Australia in any given year; that’s what we’re talking about,” he said. The FECCA chairperson said he is fed up with the scapegoating of multi-cultural Australians and is calling on both political parties to stop their fear mongering campaigns.

Facebook Twitter: @NeosKosmos Instagram The Australian Ambassador to Greece, Jenny Bloomfield, visited Thessaloniki to promote business ties and strengthen the sister city bond with Melbourne. In Thessaloniki, Mrs Bloomfield spoke at a dinner for business women, organised by the Hellenic-Australian Business Council on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Addressing members of the Thessaloniki Municipal Council, Mrs Bloomfield also spoke on Australia-Greece relations to promote further business, educational, cultural, environmental and youth ties and related it back to the 30th anniversary of the Melbourne-Thessaloniki sister city relationship and Thessaloniki’s European Youth Capital year in 2014. The Ambassador also had time to visit students of the Aristoteleio University of Thessaloniki, Greece’s largest university. The university is host to Australian teachers of Modern Greek and provides intensive language and cultural studies under the Australian Government’s Endeavour Language Teacher Fellowship Awards. Mrs Bloomfield also visited Thessaloniki’s Byzantium Museum where she viewed exhibits and discussed opportunities for arts and cultural exchanges. Mrs Bloomfield said that Australia and Greece shared longstanding historical, cultural and people-to-people links. Australia understood the difficult situation facing Greece and was supporting Greek efforts by sharing Australia’s reform experience and promoting bilateral commercial ties, to the benefit of both countries.
Facebook Twitter: @NeosKosmos Instagram The Forbes World’s Billionaires List is out for 2019 and casts the spotlight on the world’s richest. Once again Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates top the list at the 1st and 2nd position with an estimated wealth of $31 billion and $6 billion respectively.The wealthiest Greek on the list is Philip Niarchos, who climbed to 804th position from 859th last year. The French-based billionaire is the oldest son of the late shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos, and he inherited much of his father’s wealth that also includes a spectacular art collection. His net worth is valued at $2.8 billion – which is what he was also valued at last year. He is 65 years old, married, and has four children.Spiro Latsis, who has been managing the family fortune since shipping tycoon John S. Latsis died in 2003, rolled in at 838th position. He is aged 72 and lives in Geneva. The family still has a foot in shipping through Latsco shipping though they’re now also investing in real estate. The family own stakes in Hellenic Petroleum and Lamda Development. His networth is $2.9 billion.Down in the 1116th spot is Swiss-based Greek Aristotelis Mistakidis, also known as Telis. With a net worth of $2.2 billion, the 57-year-old first made Forbes list in 2011 when Glencore went public. He currently owns 3 per cent of the company’s stock but stepped down from his role as the director of Glencore’s copper business at the end of 2018 after Canadian regulators fined and banned him from serving as a director due to compliance violations.Vardis Vardinoyannis, aged 86, is the only Greek billionaire high up on the list that actually lives in Greece. With a net worth of $1.7 billion he lives in Athens and is the father of five children. He co-founded Motor Oil Hellas, a petroleum company based in Greece. It went public on the Athens stock exchange in August 2001. Apart from Motor Oil, the family also invests in shipping, finance and soccer teams.
La NASA photographie une galaxie aux allures d'”oeil du mal”Une image provenant de trois télescopes de la NASA montre une galaxie spirale baptisée NGC 4151 et présentant un aspect plutôt surprenant.Fans des films du Seigneur des anneaux attention : l’oeil de Sauron existe réellement… enfin presque. Cette forme aux allures d’oeil maléfique est en fait une galaxie spirale photographiée par plusieurs télescopes.

Or, si la ressemblance n’est que pure coïncidence, il faut tout de même avouer qu’elle est troublante.

The first look at the new Jumanji film, which is currently shooting, was released this week and some elements raised even more questions.Kevin Hart released the first image from the set on his Instagram Tuesday, saying that the first day of shooting was “in the can.”“We had an amazing first day,” he wrote. “The chemistry & energy of our cast & crew was beyond amazing!!!! This movie is going to be dope as hell….Can’t wait to get back to work tomorrow.”There are a few things to question and speculate about the image, but the one people most commented on was Karen Gillan’s outfit. Considering the other three actors are dressed appropriately–to varying degrees– for an expedition in the jungle, Gillan’s outfit seems impractical. Her crop top and short shorts also frame her body in such a way that the costume makes her look like a weird object and not a character. The focus is entirely on her body and it’s uncomfortably sexist. When you’re in the jungle but aren’t allowed to protect your skin because kids need a midriff pic.twitter.com/IQJ19hBwzY— Carli Velocci (@velocciraptor) September 20, 2016In response, Gillan took to Twitter to address the claims, saying that there will be more to the story in regards to her strange outfit. Jumanji! Yes I’m wearing child sized clothes and YES there is a reason! The pay off is worth it, I promise! #Jumanji pic.twitter.com/qBshnhwV6K— Karen Gillan (@karengillan) September 21, 2016Some subversion of tropes would make sense for the film, which isn’t a reboot of the film starring Robin Williams but is a continuation. In that world, the Jumanji board game spat out jungle archetypes, whether they were accurate or not. This included Van Pelt, a hunter who chased down Alan after he was released from the game. He also looked ridiculous.Filmmakers aren’t expanding on the plot of the sequel, so we’re not sure who these characters even are. However, this explanation goes along with another Instagram post from Dwayne Johnson, who expanded on some of the details in the photo, including everyone’s costumes.“Our dope 90’s vintage costumes will all make sense when our plot’s revealed. Truuuuuust me,” he wrote.If the characters are supposed to be archetypes, that would also explain the names, which Johnson also listed. Kevin Hart will be playing Moose Finbar, Gillan’s name is Ruby Roundhouse, Jack Black is playing Professor Shelly Oberon, and Johnson is Dr. Smolder Bravestone (“cause well… he smolders,” he commented).With a name like Ruby Roundhouse and a board game that’s built on jungle, action-adventure movie cliches, it’s possible that her outfit is in itself a joke. We’ll trust you Karen, because it’s still off-putting to see that outfit on a female lead in 2016.As for the rest of the film, Johnson promises that it’s going to be a blast.“Extremely hard trying to keep a straight face in these scenes,” he wrote. “Too funny. We’re makin’ a good one. More to come.”Expect Jumanji to hit theaters on July 28, 2017.
