Queen Emeraldas

is a manga written and illustrated by Leiji Matsumoto, later adapted into a four-episode anime OVA of the same name. Queen Emeraldas is the story of the pirate spaceship, Queen Emeraldas, which is captained by the mysterious and beautiful Emeraldas, a strong and powerful privateer. Sometimes, the character Emereldas is referred to as Pirate Queen Emeraldas.

Plot
The storyline follows a young boy named  who sneaks aboard a freighter in order to leave Earth. As the freighter is flying through space they are attacked by an Afressian ship bearing the Skull and Crossbones insignia. However, the train is saved by a mysterious and incredibly powerful spaceship (which also bears the insignia) and is able to make it to their destination, a desert planet with a Western atmosphere, complete with saloons and bar fights. The boy meets up with another stowaway, an old man, and becomes friends with him. He tells the old man that he came to the planet in order to become a stronger individual. He gets himself a job in a bar with the roughest reputation on the planet to prove himself.

When the attacking ship, led by , lands on the planet to search for whoever attacked him, Emeraldas appears to confront him, demanding that he remove the insignia from his ship; "Only two ships have the right to bear it!"  In the second episode, after a final confrontation with Eldomain and later with , of , Emeraldas presents Hiroshi with the Cosmo Dragoon once owned by Tochiro.

Another divergence from the manga takes place here when Emeraldas states that there are five Cosmo Dragoons in existence (hers and the ones owned by Tochiro, Captain Harlock, Tetsuro and Maetel), whereas in the manga there are only four. Later, Hiroshi Umino and his elderly friend visit a planet whose inhabitants have been forced out by a murderous cyborg. This cyborg killed one of the planet's inhabitants and drove his son mad. Umino meets the son and his sister and with their help and Emeraldas', he kills the oppressive cyborg.

While the story can stand on its own, independent of Matsumoto's other works, it mostly assumes that the viewer has seen the other Harlock titles, especially Galaxy Express 999 (the TV series and the movies), which featured Maetel, Emeraldas' sister, but had the occasional appearance of Emeraldas (Note: Maetel, for some reason in the English dub is referred to as Mataire). The story of Queen Emeraldas is set five years after the events of the final Galaxy Express 999 movie and was designed to give Matsumoto's fans a further glimpse into what became of Emeraldas. However, of the other characters, most are only mentioned in passing, except for Captain Harlock who has a brief cameo appearance.

Queen Emeraldas first two episodes were produced by OLM, Inc. and licensed for American distribution by ADV Films, being one of their earlier releases on the DVD format.  Those two episodes also have regular runs on the Action Channel. In Japan, the remaining two episodes were produced by MAC (Multi Access Company) and were released the following year after the initial two, indicating that a separate contract (that is not yet forthcoming) would be required for anyone to license the concluding episodes of the story outside Japan.

Manga
Leiji Matsumoto first published a one-shot in 1975 in the publisher Akita Shoten's magazine Princess. It began its serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 1978. It ended in 1979, and four collected volumes were released by Kodansha. Kodansha Comics licensed the series to be published in English in two large-format hardcover volumes; the first was released on July 26, 2016, while the second was published on July 25, 2017.

Anime
An original video anime adaptation was produced by Oriental Light and Magic and released in four episodes between 1998 and 1999. Half the series was dubbed into English and released by ADV Films on DVD in 1999.

Cast
 Megumi Hayashibara as Hiroshi Umino
 Reiko Tajima as Emeraldas
 Kenichi Ogata as Lou Row
 Koichi Yamadera as Tochiro Oyama
 Makio Inoue as Captain Harlock

Episodes
"Departure" (May 6, 1998)
"Eternal Emblem" (October 7, 1998)
"Friendship" (August 6, 1999)
"Siren" (December 18, 1999)

Other appearances
Emeraldas appeared in the 1978 Space Pirate Captain Harlock television series during flashbacks. She also had a guest appearance in the 1978 Galaxy Express 999 series. This episode, Eternal Traveller Emeraldas, was later turned into an hour-long television special expanding on that story. She subsequently appeared as a supporting character in the film Arcadia of My Youth where it is shown how she obtained her facial scar. She also makes brief appearances in Harlock Saga and Cosmo Warrior Zero. Her origin and youth is depicted in Maetel Legend.

As with Harlock and most other characters of the Leijiverse, Emeraldas' appearances in various stories cannot be applied to one consistent timeline. In the 1978 Galaxy Express 999 story, for example, one notable difference from her other depictions is that Emeraldas is suffering from an unknown illness. Her place as captain was taken over by a robot imposter while she was mostly confined to bed. The story suggests that she does not have much longer to live. This illness is alluded to in the recent manga where Emeraldas does not engage in much physical action due to her weakened condition. However, the OVA version is a fearsome combatant—as seen in her gravity saber duel with Queen Baraluda—and shows no sign of any such illness.
In the original Captain Harlock series in episode 30 (My Friend, My Youth) Emeraldas is shown to have a younger brother, but no sister is ever mentioned. Opposed to that, no brother exists in Queen Emeraldas or any other movies or series of the franchise.

Emeraldas also appears in Matsumoto's latest manga, Captain Harlock: Dimensional Voyage.

Lesson: Introduction to Art and Design

**Section 1: What is Art and Design?**
Art and design are two fields that often overlap. Art refers to the creation of visual or auditory works that express an idea, emotion, or message. Design, on the other hand, refers to the planning and creation of objects, environments, and experiences that aim to solve problems or meet specific needs. Both art and design involve creativity, imagination, and skill, but they differ in their purposes and approaches.

**Section 2: Understanding Art and Design**
To understand art and design, we need to learn about their history, techniques, and principles. We can start by exploring the different art movements and design styles throughout history. For example, we can study the Renaissance, Baroque, Impressionism, and Modernism to see how artists and designers have evolved their craft over time. We can also examine the tools and materials used in different artistic and design disciplines, such as painting, sculpture, architecture, fashion, graphic design, and digital art.

**Section 3: Applying Art and Design**
Once we have a basic understanding of art and design, we can apply these concepts to our daily lives. We can start by observing the world around us and noticing the beauty in everyday objects and experiences. We can then experiment with different mediums and techniques, such as drawing, painting, photography, or digital art, to express our observations and interpretations. We can also use design thinking to solve problems and create solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

**Glossary:**
- **Art:** The creation of visual or auditory works that express an idea, emotion, or message.
- **Design:** The planning and creation of objects, environments, and experiences that aim to solve problems or meet specific needs.
- **Art movements:** Periods of time during which artists worked in a similar style or had similar ideas.
- **Design styles:** Periods of time during which designers worked in a similar style or had similar ideas.
- **Tools and materials:** The equipment and supplies used by artists and designers to create their work.
- **Mediums:** The different types of artistic disciplines, such as painting, sculpture, architecture, fashion, graphic design, and digital art.

**Conclusion:**
By studying art and design, we can develop our creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. We can also learn to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us. As we continue to explore and practice these disciplines, we will gain a deeper understanding of how art and design shape our experiences and our world.


text: Abstract. We study the rigidity of polyhedral surfaces using variational principles. The action functionals are derived from the cosine laws. The main focus of this paper is on the cosine law for a nontriangular region bounded by three possibly disjoint geodesics. Several of these cosine laws were first discovered and used by Fenchel and Nielsen. By studying the derivative of the cosine laws, we discover a uniform approach to several variational principles on polyhedral surfaces with or without boundary. As a consequence, the work of Penner, Bobenko and Springborn and Thurston on rigidity of polyhedral surfaces and circle patterns are extended to a very general context..

Lesson: Introduction to Variational Principles in Polyhedral Surfaces

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Variational principles are used in mathematics and physics to find the minimum or maximum of a functional. In this lesson, we will learn about variational principles applied to polyhedral surfaces.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a triangle. We can draw three geodesics (straight lines) connecting the vertices of the triangle. The cosine law states that the sum of the squares of the lengths of these geodesics is minimized when the triangle is equilateral. This means that if we try to draw a triangle with sides of equal length, the geodesics connecting the vertices will be straight lines, and the triangle will be a square.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Why do we need to study variational principles in polyhedral surfaces? Can we apply these principles to other areas of mathematics or physics? How does the cosine law relate to the geometry of a polyhedral surface?

## Glossary
- Cosine law: A mathematical formula that relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of an angle between them.
- Polyhedral surface: A surface with flat faces that meet at sharp angles.
- Variational principle: A method used in mathematics and physics to find the minimum or maximum of a functional.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about variational principles in polyhedral surfaces and their applications. We also explored practical examples and self-debating discussions related to this topic. By understanding the concepts presented in this lesson, we can apply them to new problems and continue learning about the fascinating world of mathematics and physics.

Lesson Title: Support Vector Machines (SVM)

## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about Support Vector Machines (SVM), a popular machine learning algorithm used for classification and regression tasks. SVM is a powerful tool that can be used to find the best decision boundary between different classes of data. It is widely used in various applications such as image recognition, text classification, and financial forecasting.

## Section 2: Theoretical Concepts
In SVM, we use a hyperplane to separate data points into different classes. The hyperplane is defined as the optimal decision boundary that maximizes the margin between different classes. The margin is the distance between the nearest data points from each class and the decision boundary. The larger the margin, the more accurate the classification.

The SVM algorithm works by finding the maximum margin hyperplane that separates the data into different classes. This is achieved by solving a quadratic optimization problem with a regularization term called the kernel trick. The kernel trick allows us to use a non-linear decision function that can better separate the data.

## Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example where we want to classify images of handwritten digits. We will use a training set of images labeled 0-9 and an test set of images. We will use SVM with a Gaussian kernel to classify the images.

First, we need to extract features from the images. We can use the grayscale values of the pixels as features. Then, we normalize the features so that they have zero mean and unit variance.

Next, we use SVM to find the optimal decision boundary that separates the images into different classes. We choose a kernel size that best separates the data. In this case, we choose a kernel size of 5.

Finally, we use the decision boundary to classify the test images. We plot the decision boundary and the test images to visualize the results.

## Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
1. What is the purpose of the regularization term in SVM?
2. Why is the kernel trick important in SVM?
3. How does SVM differ from other machine learning algorithms?

## Glossary
- Support Vector Machine (SVM): A machine learning algorithm used for classification and regression tasks.
- Hyperplane: A flat surface that separates data points into different classes.
- Kernel Trick: A regularization term used in SVM to allow for non-linear decision functions.
- Decision Boundary: The line or plane that separates data points into different classes.
- Margin: The distance between the nearest data points from each class and the decision boundary.
- Feature: A measurable attribute or characteristic of a data point.
- Regularization: A technique used to prevent overfitting in machine learning algorithms.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about Support Vector Machines (SVM), a powerful machine learning algorithm used for classification and regression tasks. We covered the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and self-debating discussions on SVM. By understanding the principles behind SVM, we can apply these skills to new problems and improve our ability to analyze and interpret data.

Lesson 1: Introduction to Human Resources Management
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Human Resources Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on the management of people, including areas such as recruitment, hiring, compensation, benefits, training, and development. HRM plays a critical role in ensuring that organizations have the right people in place to achieve their goals and objectives.
## Section 2: Practical Examples
One example of HRM in action is the hiring process. When a company needs to hire a new employee, they must first develop a job description that outlines the qualifications, responsibilities, and requirements of the position. They must then advertise the position and review the resumes and applications they receive. Once they have identified a pool of qualified candidates, they must conduct interviews and assessments to determine which candidate is the best fit for the position. Finally, they must make an offer to the selected candidate and complete all necessary paperwork and documentation.
## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Another example of HRM in action is the management of employee benefits. Companies must determine which benefits to offer employees, such as health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They must also manage the enrollment process, ensure that employees understand their benefits, and answer any questions they may have. Additionally, companies must monitor changes in the law and adjust their benefits offerings accordingly to remain compliant.
## Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
Why is HRM important to an organization? How does HRM impact the bottom line? What are some common mistakes that companies make in the hiring process, and how can they be avoided?
## Glossary
- HRM: Human Resources Management
- Job Description: A written statement that describes the nature of the job, its purpose, and its requirements
- Resume: A document that summarizes a person's education, work experience, and skills
- Interview: A conversation between a candidate and an employer to assess the candidate's qualifications for a position
- Benefits: Perks or advantages that an employer offers to employees, such as health insurance or retirement plans
## Conclusion
HRM is a critical function within any organization. It ensures that the organization has the right people in place to achieve its goals and objectives. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practicing real-world scenarios, and engaging in self-debating discussions, students can develop a deep understanding of HRM and its impact on organizations.

Lesson: Transparent IP Sockets (TIPS) for Mobile Computing

Introduction:
Mobile computing is a technology that enables users to access and share data from remote locations. In this lesson, we will learn about Transparent IP Sockets (TIPS), a protocol that provides seamless mobility for applications running on mobile devices.

Core Value:
The core value of TIPS is its ability to provide transparent IP mobility for applications running on mobile devices. This means that the application code does not need to be modified to support mobility, making it easier for developers to create mobile applications.

Lesson:
I. Theoretical Concepts
- TIPS is a protocol that runs on top of the Transport Layer and in User Space.
- It provides horizontal and vertical handoffs for both UDP transmissions and TCP connections.
- TIPS allows for client and server migrations (single and double jump).
- Lossless migrations and lossless data transmissions are also provided.

II. Practical Examples
- Suppose you are developing an application that allows users to stream video from their mobile device. With TIPS, you can ensure that the video stream is uninterrupted even if the user moves to a different network.
- Another example is an online game that requires low latency. With TIPS, the game can seamlessly switch between networks without any disruption in gameplay.

III. Real-World Scenarios
- TIPS is particularly useful for applications that require mobility, such as location-based services or mobile social networking.
- It can also be used in enterprise settings where employees need to access corporate resources from remote locations.

IV. Self-Debating Discussions
- One potential challenge with TIPS is the need for a reliable network connection. If the connection is unreliable, it may cause issues with handoffs and migrations.
- Another challenge is the added complexity of implementing TIPS in an application. Developers must ensure that the application is compatible with the protocol and that it can handle the necessary handoffs and migrations.

V. Glossary
- Transport Layer: A layer in the OSI model that provides end-to-end communication services for applications.
- User Space: The portion of memory that is accessible to users of a computer system.
- Horizontal Handoff: A handoff that occurs within the same network domain.
- Vertical Handoff: A handoff that occurs across different network domains.
- Client Migration: When a client moves to a new server.
- Server Migration: When a server moves to a new client.
- Single Jump: A migration that involves only one handoff.
- Double Jump: A migration that involves two handoffs.

Conclusion:
TIPS is a powerful protocol that provides seamless mobility for applications running on mobile devices. By implementing TIPS, developers can create applications that are compatible with a wide range of network configurations.

Oct 2, 2018 6:42:41 GMT Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by catmeows on Oct 2, 2018 6:42:41 GMT Hi.I will try to make game based on Sid Meier's Pirates! but I decided not to use the name Pirates! as it is registered TM (title suggestions are welcome).Pirates! were announced for ZX Spectrum but never materialized. I'm using strategy quides and FAQs for C64 and NES versions as main reference while I will probably add some features of Pirates! 2004 version, at least Indian, Missionary and Pirate factions. At this moment I have gathered documentation and created overworld map based on data from Amiga and NES versions. I would like to target 48K + AY because at this moment I know I could fit skeleton gameplay into 48K but game illustrations will probably cause to change target to 128K model.

## Lesson: How to Create a Game Based on Sid Meier's Pirates!
### Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn how to create a game based on Sid Meier's Pirates!. We will start by understanding the basic mechanics of the game and then move on to creating our own game using the same principles.
### Section 2: Understanding the Game Mechanics
Sid Meier's Pirates! is a game that simulates the life of a pirate in the Caribbean during the 17th century. The game is set in a world where piracy is rampant, and players must navigate treacherous waters, battle rival pirates, and build their own empire.
The game is divided into two main parts: the overworld map and the sea battles. In the overworld map, players can interact with various characters, accept missions, and trade goods. In the sea battles, players must use their ship's cannons to destroy enemy ships and avoid getting sunk themselves.
To succeed in the game, players must manage their resources wisely, including their crew, ship, and treasure. They must also navigate political alliances and rivalries to stay alive and thrive in the dangerous world of piracy.
### Section 3: Creating Our Own Game
Now that we understand the basic mechanics of Sid Meier's Pirates!, let's create our own game based on the same principles.
First, we need to decide on the basic mechanics of our game. Do we want to create a sea-faring adventure game or a strategy game set on land? Will our game be set in the same time period as Sid Meier's Pirates! or in a different era?
Once we have decided on the basic mechanics of our game, we can start creating the game world. This includes creating the overworld map, designing the characters and locations, and deciding on the political alliances and rivalries.
Next, we need to create the gameplay mechanics. This includes designing the combat system, creating the economic system, and deciding on the resources players will need to manage.
Finally, we need to create the user interface and the graphics for our game. This includes designing the controls, creating the menus, and deciding on the art style.
### Section 4: Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned how to create a game based on Sid Meier's Pirates!. We started by understanding the basic mechanics of the game and then moved on to creating our own game using the same principles. We created our own game world, designed the gameplay mechanics, and created the user interface and graphics.
By following these steps, we can create our own exciting game that captures the thrill of pirate life and the dangers of the high seas.

Before running the installer, you need to set the DISPLAY variable. This variable is used by the installer to display the GUI interface. To set the DISPLAY variable, open a terminal window and enter the following command:

```
export DISPLAY=:0.0
```

This sets the DISPLAY variable to the value ":0.0", which tells the installer to use the default X11 display.

Step 4: Run the installer
Now that you have extracted the installer file and set the DISPLAY variable, you can run the installer by entering the following command:

```
java -jar DCEVM-full-7u79-installer.jar
```

This will launch the installer GUI, which will guide you through the installation process. Follow the prompts to select the desired installation options and complete the installation.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to install DCEVM on Linux by downloading the installer, extracting the file, setting the DISPLAY variable, and running the installer. By following these steps, you can successfully install DCEVM on your Linux system and take advantage of its powerful features for dynamic code generation.

Third Of Brits Steal From Self-Service Supermarket Checkouts

The self-service checkouts were designed to speed up lengthy queues – but supermarkets have unwittingly created a generation of self-service shoplifters.

A recent study of nearly 5,000 people by watchmywallet.co.uk revealed that a third of Brits steal food items by slipping them into their bag without passing the food through the scanner.

Other indiscretions reported in the study ranged from opportunistic to brazen.

Just over 2% admitted to tampering with the scales when paying for something by weight, 7% bagged an item without scanning it first and 5% claimed to have simply walked away from the checkout without paying.

Although the machine is able to detect an ‘unexpected item in bagging area’ when the food has not been scanned, shop assistant tend to swiftly override the ‘error’ allowing the self-service cheat to sneak off with their purchases.

And if they’re not pinching the food items, they are shaving pennies off the price by ‘tricking’ the machine into thinking they are purchasing lower cost goods or selecting ‘small’ instead of ‘large’ when scanning items such as salad boxes.

Have you ever stolen from a self-service checkout?

Lesson: Comparing Different Types of Coal Pulverizers

**Introduction:** Coal pulverizers are used to grind and crush coal into a fine powder that can be burned in power plants for electricity generation. There are several types of coal pulverizers, but the most common ones are the ball tube mill, the high-speed attrition mill, and the low-speed attrition mill. In this lesson, we will compare these three types of coal pulverizers based on their working principles, advantages, and disadvantages.

**Working Principles:**

1. Ball Tube Mill: This type of coal pulverizer uses cylindrical shells that rotate at high speeds and contain a series of alloy balls. The ball tube mill operates by lifting the pulverized coal from the low side of the mill and dropping it into the path of the coal, which reduces the coal to a fine powder.

2. High-Speed Attrition Mill: This type of coal pulverizer uses a central horizontal rotor that has a ring of steel balls surrounding it. The coal is fed into the mill and is crushed between the rotor and the ring of balls. The high-speed attrition mill operates at a very high speed and is suitable for dry or wet pulverization.

3. Low-Speed Attrition Mill: This type of coal pulverizer uses a central horizontal rotor that has a ring of steel balls surrounding it. The coal is fed into the mill and is crushed between the rotor and the ring of balls. The low-speed attrition mill operates at a lower speed than the high-speed attrition mill and is suitable for dry or wet pulverization.

**Advantages and Disadvantages:**

**Ball Tube Mill:**
- Advantages: High capacity, good for pre-drying and pre-heating of coal.
- Disadvantages: Prone to coal dust explosions, high maintenance costs.

**High-Speed Attrition Mill:**
- Advantages: Good for dry or wet pulverization, high capacity, good for pre-drying and pre-heating of coal.
- Disadvantages: Prone to coal dust explosions, high maintenance costs.

**Low-Speed Attrition Mill:**
- Advantages: Good for dry or wet pulverization, high capacity, good for pre-drying and pre-heating of coal.
- Disadvantages: Prone to coal dust explosions, high maintenance costs.

**Conclusion:**
Coal pulverizers are essential for the efficient and effective burning of coal in power plants. The choice of coal pulverizer depends on the specific needs of the plant, such as the type of coal being used, the desired particle size, and the required capacity. By understanding the working principles, advantages, and disadvantages of each type of coal pulverizer, you can make an informed decision about which one is best for your plant.

Lesson: Real Estate Listings

Introduction:
Real estate listings are a common way for people to find and rent or buy property. In this lesson, we will learn about the different parts of a real estate listing and what they mean.

Section 1: Understanding Real Estate Listings

Topic 1: What is a Real Estate Listing?
A real estate listing is a advertisement that a real estate agent or owner creates to market their property for sale or rent. The listing includes information about the property such as its location, size, features, and price.

Topic 2: Components of a Real Estate Listing
A typical real estate listing includes several components, including:
- Address: The physical location of the property
- Price: The asking price or monthly rental cost
- Description: A brief description of the property's features and amenities
- Photos: High-quality images of the property
- Contact Information: The name and contact information of the real estate agent or owner

Topic 3: Types of Real Estate Listings
There are two main types of real estate listings: exclusive agency and open listings.
- Exclusive agency listing: The seller signs a contract with one real estate agent, who has the exclusive right to sell the property.
- Open listing: The seller does not sign a contract with a single real estate agent and can work with multiple agents simultaneously.

Section 2: Analyzing Real Estate Listings

Topic 1: Reading Between the Lines
When analyzing a real estate listing, it's important to read between the lines and look for subtle clues that may indicate the property's true condition. For example, if the listing mentions that the property is "move-in ready," it may be an indication that the seller is motivated to sell quickly.

Topic 2: Comparing Properties
To compare properties, you should create a checklist of features that are important to you, such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and location. Then, use this checklist to compare the listings and determine which property best meets your needs.

Topic 3: Evaluating the Price
When evaluating the price of a property, you should consider factors such as the property's location, condition, and features. You can use online tools to estimate the property's value based on similar properties in the area.

Section 3: Applying Real Estate Listings

Topic 1: Negotiating the Price
Once you have identified a property that you want to purchase or rent, you should negotiate the price with the real estate agent or owner. You can start by offering a lower price and then work your way up to the asking price.

Topic 2: Making an Offer
If you have found a property that you want to purchase or rent, you should make an offer to the real estate agent or owner. Your offer should include the amount you are willing to pay, the closing date, and any contingencies (such as a home inspection).

Topic 3: Closing the Deal
Once you have made an offer and the seller has accepted it, you will enter into a period of negotiation known as escrow. During escrow, you will work with a title company to finalize the details of the sale or rental agreement, such as the purchase price, closing costs, and other fees.

Conclusion:
Real estate listings are an important tool for finding and evaluating properties for sale or rent. By understanding the components of a listing, analyzing the information provided, and applying the skills learned in this lesson, you can successfully navigate the real estate market and find the perfect property for your needs.

Cocaine abuse counseling as HIV prevention.
The current study evaluated the efficacy of cocaine abuse counseling alone as a strategy to reduce HIV-related sexual risk behaviors. Participants were 232 cocaine-abusing or dependent individuals who received up to 26 weeks of Matrix counseling but no formal HIV-prevention interventions. One hundred fifty-seven (67.6%) participants completed assessments at admission, during treatment, and at 6 months following admission. Participants located for follow-up were significantly more likely to be Caucasian, to be better educated, and to complete longer treatment episodes than those not located. Main study findings indicated a statistically significant association between safer sex behavior and completion of a cocaine abuse counseling episode (chi 2 (2, n = 157) = 6.25, p < .05). Participants who completed counseling were more likely to change to safer sex or maintain safer sex over the 6-month period than participants who terminated counseling prematurely. The primary method for reducing sexual risk involved overall decreases in reported numbers of partners (Partners-baseline = 5.32, SD = 6.25; Partners6 Months = 2.47, SD = 2.62; F(1, 132) = 36.32, p < .001) among this group of mostly heterosexual (89.9%), Caucasian (69.0%), crack cocaine users (65.6%). We concluded that cocaine abuse counseling is a powerful intervention for reducing HIV-related sexual behaviors in this group at high risk for exposure to HIV. Study findings suggested that efforts to evaluate HIV prevention programs must also account for the effect of drug counseling.

He is no longer the heir apparent to take over running the Murdoch empire when his 80 year old father, Rupert, decides to step aside.. This has been a bad week for the Murdochs here. They launched the Sun on Sunday to replace the News of the World which they closed last summer. Almost immediately the focus of the Leveson Enquiry into the scandal shifted to The Sun and more dark revelations and accusations have been made.. Yesterday, Jacqui Hames, a former detective and host of a BBC true-life crime show, alleged the News of the World had intimidated her and her then husband, also a detective, and had interfered with a murder investigation he was involved in.. If the allegation is true than it may provide even more ammunition for the FBI to bring charges against News Corp in America under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Lesson: The Importance of Responsible Journalism

Introduction:
Journalism is an essential part of society that helps people stay informed about current events and issues. However, there are some instances where journalists may cross the line and engage in unethical practices. This lesson will discuss the importance of responsible journalism and the consequences of irresponsible reporting.

Section 1: What is Responsible Journalism?

Responsible journalism refers to the practice of reporting news in an honest, accurate, and fair manner. It involves gathering information from reliable sources and verifying its accuracy before publishing it. Responsible journalism also means being transparent about the sources of information and avoiding sensationalism or distortion of facts.

Questions and Answers:
1. Why is responsible journalism important?
Answer: Responsible journalism is important because it helps maintain public trust in the media. When journalists report news responsibly, people are more likely to believe what they read or hear. This is essential for democracy, as an informed public is necessary for a functioning democracy.

2. What are some examples of irresponsible journalism?
Answer: Irresponsible journalism includes sensationalism, distortion of facts, and fabrication of stories. It can also involve publishing information that is not verified or using unreliable sources.

Section 2: Consequences of Irresponsible Reporting

Irresponsible journalism can have severe consequences for both the journalist and society. Some of these consequences include:

1. Loss of Public Trust: When journalists engage in irresponsible reporting, people lose trust in the media. This can lead to a decrease in the number of people who consume news, which can weaken democracy.

2. Damage to Reputation: Irresponsible reporting can damage the reputation of individuals or organizations that are the subject of the story. This can lead to financial losses, loss of business, or other negative consequences.

3. Inaccurate Information: Irresponsible reporting can lead to the spread of inaccurate information, which can harm society as a whole. For example, if a journalist reports false information about a medical condition, it could lead to people making uninformed decisions about their health.

Section 3: Practical Examples

Let's consider a few practical examples to illustrate the importance of responsible journalism:

1. A journalist writes a story about a political candidate that is based on rumors and unverified information. The story goes viral, and the candidate loses the election. In this case, the journalist failed to follow basic standards of responsible journalism, such as verifying the accuracy of the information before publishing it.

2. A news outlet publishes a story about a celebrity's personal life without verifying the accuracy of the information. The story turns out to be false, and the celebrity sues the news outlet for defamation. In this case, the news outlet engaged in irresponsible journalism by publishing unverified information.

Conclusion:

Responsible journalism is essential for maintaining public trust in the media and ensuring that people have access to accurate information. Irresponsible journalism can lead to loss of public trust, damage to reputation, and the spread of inaccurate information. By following basic standards of responsible journalism, journalists can help ensure that the media remains a trustworthy source of information.
