9 ways to brighten your home this winter - The Westmorland Gazette

LABOUR Director John Pinder.

By Khrisna Russell

krussell@tribunemedia.net

DEPARTMENT of Labour Director John Pinder wants employers work permits revoked if they fail to appoint and properly train apprentices as part of their succession planning.

The move, Mr Pinder told The Tribune yesterday, would give the department teeth and earn it more respect in the eyes of employers who have not ensured Bahamian employees are trained for certain jobs He said it had been the departments intention to have this stipulation enforced by this month. However, now it could be longer before the rule can be officially enforced, with Mr Pinder saying there needed to be further discussions with the Department of Immigration to ensure labour officials have a functioning plan.

His department has to also make amendments to application forms to accommodate a breakdown of apprentice training guidelines.

The departments special projects unit is handling the process, he said.

We have met cases where persons say that I didnt know they were the understudy, but on the application form their name is listed, Mr Pinder said yesterday when asked about enforcing the rule this month. He was also asked how the department intended to protect employees from retribution once they are interviewed by officials about employers training practices.

If the employer tries to victimise the employee for giving us the correct information or tries to terminate them for that we will always have some sort of conciliation regarding that dismissal or wrongful dismissal, so there are things in the law that can protect that individual.

In addition to that we will then review the application form for labour certificates when it comes back to us and in consultation with the Department of Immigration well have to do this so immigration and us are on the same page with this and immigration will also tell us what is expected of us so that at the end of the day when we give a labour certificate immigration is satisfied that we did do the necessary due.

He also said: Simultaneously we just want to have that relationship with immigration for instance when the employer is not doing what it should be, (but) I think once immigration (is involved) with the authority to revoke the permit I think we would get more respect and it will have more teeth.

Asked to clarify if the intention was to ensure work permits were revoked for noncompliance, Mr Pinder said; Actually, yes, thats our intention now.

So what we are doing now is once we think what we are doing is something workable, we will then sit with immigration to get guidance from them to ensure that it can work.

As far as a timeline is concerned, Mr Pinder said on his end the framework is just about complete.

However there needed to be further engagement.

After this its just engaging immigration to review what we got to see if its workable. Then after that it has to go to the permanent secretary and the minister so it may take a little bit more time but the minister is aware of what we are doing. The permanent secretary is aware so its just a matter of them putting their blessing on it.

Last year, Mr Pinder said labour certificates, which confirm there are no qualified Bahamians willing or able to take a particular job, will only be issued to companies that provide evidence they have identified a Bahamian understudy who will be trained to replace the expatriate worker once their work permit has expired.

Dear Smiley: Many years ago I had a big black Lab named Brutus. Just before the teal hunting season, I would take him along the jogging trail on Lake Pontchartrain in Kenner.

I would throw a training dummy in the lake and send him after it.

The lake was choppy, it was a really hot day and he had already made several retrieves. He was dog-tired.

I threw the dummy in the lake one last time and he just laid down and wouldn't go after it. So, not wanting to lose the training dummy, I took my shoes and shirt off and went in after it.

As I was swimming back with the dummy I saw a jogger approaching. As I got out of the water he said, "How long did it take that dog to teach you to retrieve that thing?"

I said, "Not long!" and we had a good laugh.

Dear Smiley: I was introduced to Charley, my mixed black Lab, over 10 years ago on the steps of my LSU laboratory.

He had been seen all across campus with no collar before he wandered up to one of my assistants.

Across the street were the campus police and animal control. I was called outside and made a quick decision. I told them the young Lab was going home with me.

One day, a few years later, utility workers were outside my house repairing our electrical service as a result of a fallen tree limb.

The supervisor on the ground kept reminding the lineman to make sure the wires were reconnected correctly.

Suddenly, the supervisor heard Charley start barking like crazy. He knew something must be wrong, because neither of my dogs had uttered a peep prior to that.

He ran to the fence and saw smoke pouring from my ridge vents. He screamed at the lineman to disconnect everything. My attic wiring was fried, just shy of setting my 50-year-old house on fire.

At over 11 years old, Charley remains my special hero. When he barks, I listen.

Dear Smiley: My older brother has a friend who is a retired plumber. He tells the story of how a lady called him and said her toilet would not flush.

He went to the home, and using some form of rotor device tried to dislodge the clog. Each time he tried, he struck something hard that left a small piece of pink substance on the device.

Calling the homeowner into the bathroom, he inquired about what it could possibly be. She sheepishly admitted that after a party several nights before she had lost her dentures while bending over the facility.

He advised her that he could save the teeth, but it would require him to break the toilet and replace it with a new one.

The deed was done, and she was so thankful that he had recovered her teeth that after cleaning them and putting them in her mouth, she reached out to kiss him on his way out of the house.

He promptly turned a cheek to her and held his breath!

TONY FALTERMAN

Napoleonville

Dear Smiley: Reading some of the cat funeral stories prompted me to write and tell my tale:

As young children, aged 5 and 7, my sister and I found a dead cat beside the sidewalk.

Feeling sorry for the cat, we decided to bring it home and try to find a way to bring it back to life.

My sister took the back legs and I took the front legs and we carried it home. It was long dead and stiff as a board.

We knew that we had to find a place to hide it from our mother until we could figure out how to revive it.

So we put it in the refrigerator. We thought this would keep it as fresh as it did the food.

I think the screams that came out of our mother can still be heard 60 years later.

Scientists have found a new way to home in on the proteins covering a particular cells surface. The feat offers insight into how brain cells form intricate networks during development.

As if casting a tiny net, a new technique has rounded up all the proteins on the surface of neurons in the brains of fruit flies. The roundup uncovered 20 new molecules involved in wiring the developing brain.

The find furthers scientists understanding of how neurons in the brain form complex networks, researchers report January 16, 2020, in the journal Cell. And it demonstrates for the first time that this protein-finding method actually works in intact brain tissues not just cells grown in the lab, says study coauthor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, Liqun Luo.

Thats important because the tissue environment is crucial for cells development, and lab cell cultures cant replicate it. Until now, scientists had no way to monitor all the proteins on cell surfaces in complex tissues like the brain. The new approach provides a way to survey this previously mysterious landscape.

What really blew me away was the biological follow-up, says biochemist Matthias Mann of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry. Luos team was able to find a trove of proteins whose biological role was previously unknown, says Mann, who was not involved with the work.

Cell surfaces are incredibly dynamic places, especially for cellular communication, says Luo, a neurobiologist at Stanford University. In the nervous system, proteins on the surfaces of nerve cells help the cells find each other and link up. Luos team wanted a complete view of the proteins that direct connections in the developing fly brain. The researchers focused on proteins involved in forming olfactory networks, which control a flys sense of smell.

Luo, along with his doctoral student Jiefu Li and collaborators at Stanford and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, modified a method pioneered by study coauthor Alice Ting. In this method, called proximity labeling, researchers use an enzyme to add a molecular tag to a particular protein of interest, plus all the neighboring proteins. Researchers can then identify the tagged proteins using a chemical analysis called mass spectrometry.

Luos team added a new twist to the technique. They made the enzyme target proteins on fruit fly olfactory neurons at a particular point in brain development: when neurons are making decisions about which connections to form. The team compared the proteins present in adult cells with those present in the developing brain. The difference is actually very striking, Luo says.

The team identified 20 proteins that were more abundant on the surfaces of developing neurons and knocked them down one by one to see if their absence had an effect on brain wiring. Surprising even to the researchers, all 20 were involved in wiring the fly olfactory network. Whats more, many of the proteins they found hadnt even been known to play a role in neural development.

Luo and Li hope their approach will be useful for researchers in other fields as well. Li says it could be applied to immunology as well as to understanding how organs develop or modeling disease. For example, he adds, cell surface proteins are altered in cancer cells, so profiling those proteins could help scientists understand how cancer cells behave within tissues.

Id love to use [this technique], says Joshua Sanes, a neuroscientist at Harvard University who was not involved in the research. Like Luo, Sanes (who is a member of HHMIs Scientific Review Board) is interested in how neurons form the precise patterns of connections that lead to all the complex neural circuitry underlying behavior. But he studies the brains of mammals, not flies. So, first, Sanes says, the method will have to be optimized for mammalian cells a goal that has so far been elusive.

What are some of the common issues found in older properties, and can they still be good investments?

Fix and flip investors often acquire older properties, which can bring a host of their own issues.

These properties can have a lot of character but also underlying problems the investor will need to tackle. Older properties might have been built to different building standards, make use of hazardous materials or have ageing infrastructure dangerous to occupants.

These problems can have a significant effect on the length and cost of the flip, but with the right approach, they can be overcome.

Pipes and Wiring

The most common issues found in older homes are related to plumbing and electrical work. Many of the properties built pre-1970s made use of galvanized pipes for plumbing at the time, but these have been found to corrode quickly and need replacing often. Fix and flip investors who find galvanized pipes in their property are highly recommended to replace it with a modern solution like copper or PVC which is more long-lasting. Electrical issues are also common, and will likely need to be brought back up to code prior to selling the home.

Outdated wiring is a dangerous fire hazard, and also typically not compatible with the appliances found in the home today. For this reason, its best to have an electrician inspect the property and make suggestions.

Hazardous Materials

Certain building materials used in the past have since been exposed as unsafe for human contact. Hidden throughout an older property there may be lead paint, asbestos flooring, popcorn ceilings and other lurking dangers. If these materials are disturbed during the renovation process, it can quickly become hazardous to contractors and occupants. Fix and flip investors can test for some of these materials themselves and use a professional to detect or remove the rest.

Removing these materials from the property can be pricey removing asbestos materials alone can cost between $200 to $700 per hour. However, the cost is an essential part of your investment for such a property and peace of mind.

Questionable Building Standards

Older properties, having had more owners, are likely to have had previous renovations done. If the property has been maintained well, only basic fixing may be needed. However, with changing building standards over the years, it can be difficult to establish the quality of previous renovations. Its best to have a property inspector review the property to identify anything not up to modern standards and advise next steps.

Fix and flip investors should also put aside a contingency fund up to 20% to tackle these issues.

Sourcing Materials

Properties constructed in previous decades may have made use of materials not commonly found today. This can be challenging for investors who want to restore these materials rather than replacing them. To keep the character of these features, investors should try checking centers that offer reused materials or consult with local remodeling professionals to source them. This method can be expensive, and investors can also turn to modern replicas of the original features for the same effect.

For example, wooden floors can be replaced with laminate that looks similar but is more affordable. Its best to compare the costs of both solutions before deciding on a final plan of action.

Older properties make great fix and flip investments, but its also expected that some hard-to-deal-with issues will come up. Some properties built a few decades ago have safety hazards lurking under the surface which need to be addressed. Fix and flip investors will come across dubious building standards and should budget accordingly for the cost of these surprises. Investors targeting older homes get to benefit from lower acquiring costs, and with the right approach, the investment property can bring good profits, no matter its original age.

With just their input cables, human neurons can perform difficult logic calculations previously only seen in entire neural networks. To restate: human neurons are far more powerful devices than originally thought. And if deep learning algorithmsthe AI method loosely based on the brain thats taken our world by stormtake note, they can be too.

Those are unconventional, fighting words.

For 70 years, neurons were considered the basic computational unit of the brain. Yet according to a new study published this month in Science, the neurons in our cortex, the outermost crust of our brain, seem to have uniquely evolved to sustain incredibly complex computations in their input cables. Its as if someone finally obtained proof that your computers electrical wiring is actually made up of mini-processors, each performing calculations before sending results to a CPU.

Its weird. Its controversial. But it has also just been seen for the first time in human neurons.

As the authors conclude: we long assumed that a neuron could only operate logical functions such as AND and OR, whereas more complex computations required entire networks. We find that activity in a neurons input cables can support complex logical operations using completely different rules than a single neuron.

So why should we care? Fundamentally, it has to do with intelligencewhy we stand out among the animal kingdom, and how we can potentially replicate that intelligence with AI.

Like the Earths crust, the cortex is also made up of multiple layers, with distinctive wiring patterns that link up neurons within layers and among different ones. Neuroscientists have long thought that our enormously intricate cortex contributes to our intellectual capabilitiesin fact, deep learning was inspired by computations embedded within cortical neurons.

But the new results, recorded from surgically-removed brain chunks from patients with brain tumors and epilepsy, suggest that current deep learning methods are only scratching the surface of replicating our brains computations. If AI systems can incorporate these newly discovered algorithms, they could potentially become far more powerful.

A textbook neuron looks like a leafless tree: massive roots, called dendrites, lead to a sturdy, bulbous basethe body. Like water and nutrients, incoming electrical signals shoot up dendritic roots into the body, where a hump-like structure synthesizes all the information. If the stimulation is sufficiently strong, it gets passed down a singular tree trunkthe output cable called an axonthen transmitted to another neuron by way of bubbles filled with chemical messengers or with electricity. If the input signals are too weak, the neuron kills the data. Its why neuroscientists often call single neurons binary or digital: they either fire or dont.

Simple, no?

Wellnot quite. For decades, a question nagged at the back of neuroscientists minds: why are dendritic trees, compared to a single lonely axon, so much more intricate?

By recording from single neurons in rodent brains, scientists recently began figuring out that dendritic trees arent just simple passive cables. Rather, theyre extremely active components underlying a hidden layer of neural computation. Some dendritic trees, for example, can generate electrical spikes five times larger and more frequently than classic neuronal firing. Just in rats, the discovery of active dendrites mean that the brain could have 100 times more processing capacity than previously thought.

The new study asks: does the same hold true for humans?

Compared to rodent brains, the multi-layered human cortex is much thicker and denser. Layers 2 and 3 (L2/3) especially stand out for their elaborate and densely-packed dendritic forests. Compared to other speciesor even the rest of the human brainthese layers contain a disproportionate amount of neuronal matter. The root cause of this strange thickening lies in our genes, which encode a brain development program to guide the characteristic. Some even believe that its fundamental to what makes us human.

If dendrite inputs help shape our neurons computationand our intelligencethen L2/3 is where we should be able to observe them, the authors reasoned.

Measuring electrical activity from dendrites, each 100 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, is much easier said than done. Its partly why these enormously powerful calculations have been hard to capture using electrodes even in animalsthe process is similar to gently sucking on an ants back with a Roman column-sized straw without hurting the ant.

Rather than recording from a living, intact human brain, the team opted to look at fresh slices of the cortex removed due to epilepsy or tumors. Its a smart strategy: slices are much easier to examine using traditional neuroscience methodsfor example, something called a patch clamp that records directly from neuronal components. Slices can also be examined under the microscope using fluorescent dyes that glow during activity. Using brain tissue from two different types of patients can then help weed out signals unique to each brain disease to get to the root of human dendritic computations.

A bizarre signal immediately emerged. Human dendrites sparked with activity, but the electrical spikes quickly dissipated as they traveled towards the cell body. In contrast, a standard neural signal doesnt taper down as it gallops along the output cable towards its next destination. Even weirder, the dendritic signals relied strictly on calcium ions to generate their electricity, which massively differs from classic neural signaling.

Its like suddenly discovering a new species that consumes carbon dioxide, rather than oxygen, to sustain its activityexcept that species is part of you. These signals, dubbed dCaAPs, have never been observed in cortical cells from any mammals previously, the authors said.

There was a eureka moment when we saw the dendritic action potentials for the first time, said study co-author Dr. Matthew Larkum at Humboldt University of Berlin. The experiments were very challenging, so to push the questions past just repeating what has been done in rodents already was very satisfying.

But it gets weirder. Unlike a neurons all-or-none firing, human dendrites seem to go analogue. That is, their response is graded, but in an unintuitive way: the stronger their stimuli, the lower their response. This is in stark contrast to other neuronal computations, where stronger input, even from multiple sources, usually leads to stronger output. And while these dendritic spikes arent loners per sea few dCaAPs helped change the firing of its neuronmany of the dendrites electrical activity seemed to do their own thing.

Cataloging the secret lives of human dendrites is already interesting, but the authors went a step further to ask what it all means.

Using computational modeling, they recreated dCaAPs unique firing pattern and challenged it to solve a logic function called XOR. It compares two inputs, and if the bits are the same, the result is 0. If theyre different, it results in 1. Unlike the simpler AND and OR functions, XOR normally requires an entire neural network to perform.

However, human dendrites strange behavior, where one input only leads to one output, allowed them to effectively compute the XOR operation, the authors said. When stacked together with a neurons normal AND and OR functions, its then possible to condense entire network functions into that of a single neuron. However, for now the idea remains theoreticalthe authors werent able to model an entire neuron along with dendritic computations.

But keep your eye out for updates. The results, if validated in intact human brains, hold enormous possibilities for improving deep learning algorithms. For now, deep learning uses individual artificial neurons that link into multi-layered networkssimilar to our previous understanding of human brains. Adding dendritic computations could in theory massively expand deep learning capabilities. In a way, AI is now neurosciences theoretical playground, a collaboration made in heaven.

Regardless, the results peel back another onion layer towards understanding and replicating our intelligence. Dendrites make up 95 percent of the surface area of pyramidal cells in the cortex, but have remained unexplored territory in the human brain, said Dr. Michael Husser at University College London, who was not involved in the study. By hunting for similar signals in rodent brains, we may be able to determine whether the special electrical properties of human dendrites play a key role in making human brains special, he said.

On January 17, 2020, the Irregulators will appear before the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, to argue that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has facilitated one of the largest accounting scandals in American history.

The Irregulators is an independent, expert Telecom Team comprised of senior telecom experts, analysts, forensic auditors, and lawyers ,including former FCC officials.They will be represented byW.Scott McCollough, Esq., a former Texas Assistant Attorney General.McCollough acknowledges, We paid for fiber-to-the-home and we are getting 5G.

On April 15, 2019, theIrregulators submitted legal briefs to the Washington District Court seeking standing.Standing isa requirement under Article III of the Constitution, the capacity of a party to bring suit in court.To bring suit signifies the ability of a party to demonstrate that s/he had sufficient connection to and was harmed by an action being challenged.The FCC declined to challenge the Irregulators standing claim and, on June 6th, the Court formally ruled that the Irregulators had standing and the case against the FCC could proceed.

The Irregulators argument is simple:

Over the last decade, we uncovered a massive financial cross-subsidy scheme and it is being done by manipulating the FCCs cost accounting rules that are being applied to the state-wired telecommunications public utilities revenues and expenses controlled mostly by AT&T, Verizon and Centurylink.

They are accusing the FCCof freezing its cost-accounting rules 19 years ago, thusallowing the nations telecommunications companies the telecom trust to engage in a bookkeeping slight-of-hand practices that costs telecom users, states and taxpayers across the country an estimated $50-$60 billion a year over the last decade and,over the last decade, totaling an estimated $500 billion and $1 trillion since 2000.

The Irregulators challenge to the FCC is based on an acknowledgement that the different lines of business offered by a telecom e.g., Verizons FiOS or wireless to pay their expenses based on formulas set by FCC accounting rules set in 2000, 20 years ago. The case will show how, for example, Verizon was able to make all of its state utility networks appear unprofitable by using these FCC rules.

The expenses Verizon and other telecoms paid in 2019 are based on the same percentage as 2000.However, local (orintrastate)service i.e., the basic copper-based phone service provided was the majority of revenues in 2000 for most telecoms and paid the majority of expenses.For example, in 2019, Verizon NY Local Service accounted for only 21 percent of its reported revenues but is accounting for 60+ percent of its expenses. The FCCs policies amount to a cross-subsidy practice in which traditional wireline services help pay for wireless services.

One consequence of this accounting policy is that all of the other lines of business are paying a fraction of the actual expenses that they incur.Thus, for example, wireless in New York State pays a fraction of the construction expenses while local service paid the majority even though the infrastructure wiring hasnt been upgraded or maintained.In addition, the telecoms receivedtax benefits and users saw their basic phone rates rise.

The case is about more thanan accounting shell-game.It concerns the very future of the countrys telecommunications services, including of 5G the proposed next generation of telecom service as well as the Digital Divide, fiber-to-the-home and net neutrality.Bruce Kushnick, Irreglators team lead, is emphatic: Irregulators vs. FCCexposes all of the financial hanky-panky that has been going on for over a decade. We took this case to stop these abuses at the federal and state level.

At the heart of the Irregulators case is a call for federal and state officials and ordinary telecom users to remember that phone services arestate regulated public telecommunications utilities.The infrastructure consists of the existing copper wires as well as the fiber optic wires that facilitate wireless and broadband services as well as what is known as Business Data Services (i.e., backhaul or special access).

The case will be adjudicated by the Court over the next few months.Ever optimistic, the Irregulators anticipate a number of possible outcomes to the case:

+ The Court could require the FCC to fix its rules to stop cross-subsidies.This will result in returning billions of dollars to states to building-out or upgrade the infrastructure and lowering rates on most services.

+ The Court could decide that the FCC rules are no longer required, thus forcing the FCC to give up control over the infrastructure to the states and get back the billions gained from the cross-subsidies.

+ The Court could leave things as they are, thus enabling the status quo to get worse.The consequences of this decision could be considerable: the cross-subsidies will continue; the questionable 5G deployments will proceed; telecom competition will further shrink; higher service fees will only increase; and new made-up fees and government subsidies will continue.

The outcome of the case could have significant consequences, especially for the FCC.The worst-case outcome, the Courts decision could strengthen the hand the FCC.

Like other federal agencies, the FCC is a corporate-industry captured government agency that has stopped working for the publics best interests.The current U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, got his political start serving as General Counsel forGTE Corporation, a telco that merged with Bell Atlantic to form Verizon.He worked closely with former FCC Chairman Michael Powell, a Pres. Clinton appointee, to establish the new accounting procedures. In addition, the current FCC chair,Ajit Pai, who formerly served as VerizonsAssociate General Counsel, pushes ever-greater deregulations and limited accountability of the telecoms.

A favorable Court decision could return oversight of the telecom networks to state utilities and likely end cross-subsidies and customer overcharging.This could force the giant telecoms to deliver on their repeated broadband commitments, including providingfiber-to-the-home instead of the inferior (and some say harmful) 5G telecom service.This would be an invaluable step in ending the Digital Divide and facilitating net neutrality rather than the further privatization of a public utility.
