The cosmologist Stephen Hawking has described the biggest blunder of his scientific career – his early belief that everything swallowed up by a black hole must be lost forever.

Professor Hawking said that there is one thing that does in fact escape from black holes – radiation. He has previously said that his discovery of what is now known as Hawking radiation was one of his proudest achievements.

In a lecture at a hospital in Los Angeles that has pioneered research into stem-cell treatments for degenerative diseases – including his own condition of motor neuron disease – Professor Hawking described the blunder that had initially blinded him to one of his greatest insights into the Universe.

Hawking radiation is emitted from the rim of a black hole, known as the event horizon, where all the matter that is falling into the abyss is stretched out like spaghetti. Even light does not escape from a black hole – except for Hawking radiation.

Professor Hawking, 71, was paraphrasing a statement made by Albert Einstein who had altered his general theory of relativity in the early 1900s to take into account his fervent belief that the Universe was not expanding.

Einstein realised his mistake a few years later when astronomers discovered that stars were moving away at great speed, suggesting that the Universe was expanding. Einstein described the gaffe as the biggest blunder of his career.

Professor Hawking gave his hour-long lecture on Tuesday at the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute where he saw first-hand the stem cell work that aims to treat the neurological disease that has kept him in a wheelchair for 50 years.

“To understand the universe at the deepest level, we have to understand why is there something rather than nothing,” Hawking said, speaking through a computer program that converts his eye and cheek movements into spoken speech. “Why do we exist? Why this particular set of laws, and not some other? I believe the answers to all of these things is M-theory.”

M-theory combines several ideas in physics and mathematics, including the suggestion that there are several dimensions in the fabric of space-time. Professor Hawking has been a staunch supporter of m-theory, believing that it will lead to a single, unified theory to explain all the laws and observations of physics.

Professor Hawking said that humans must explore space if we are to survive the coming millennium. “We must continue to go into space for humanity. We won’t survive another 1,000 years without escaping our fragile planet,” he said.

Following a tour of the medical center’s stem-cell laboratories, which are directed toward studying new treatments for motor-neuron disease, Hawking drew parallels between the centre’s work in discovering the mechanisms of disease and his quest to understand the fundamental rules of the universe.

“If you understand how the Universe operates, you control it in a way,” said the author of “A Brief History of Time,” which has sold several million copies since it was first published in 1988. Hawking held the post of Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University until his retirement in 2009.

Lesson: Black Holes and Hawking Radiation

Introduction:
Black holes are some of the most mysterious and fascinating objects in space. They are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity. In this lesson, we will learn about black holes, Hawking radiation, and their effects on the universe.

Section 1: What is a Black Hole?
A black hole is an object in space that has extremely strong gravity. It is so strong that nothing can escape from it, not even light. This is why it is called a "black" hole because it is invisible. Black holes are formed when massive stars collapse under their own gravity.

Section 2: Hawking Radiation
Hawking radiation is a type of radiation that comes from black holes. It is named after the scientist Stephen Hawking who discovered it. Hawking radiation is emitted from the rim of a black hole, known as the event horizon, where all the matter that is falling into the abyss is stretched out like spaghetti. Even light does not escape from a black hole, but Hawking radiation does.

Section 3: Effects of Black Holes and Hawking Radiation
Black holes have a big effect on the universe. They can cause stars to move in strange ways and can even change the shape of galaxies. Hawking radiation is also important because it helps us understand more about how black holes work.

Section 4: Practical Examples
One practical example of Hawking radiation is that it can be used to study the behavior of particles near a black hole. Scientists have used this radiation to learn more about the properties of black holes and how they affect the universe around them.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, black holes and Hawking radiation are two of the most interesting and mysterious things in space. By studying them, we can learn more about the universe and its behavior.

Glossary:
- Black hole: An object in space with extremely strong gravity that nothing can escape from.
- Event horizon: The edge of a black hole from which no information or matter can escape.
- Hawking radiation: A type of radiation emitted from black holes.
- Motor neuron disease: A disease that affects the nerves that control muscle movement.

Continuing a trend that started even before he entered the race, former Vice President Joe Biden remains the runaway front-runner in South Carolina's 2020 Democratic presidential primary, a new poll found.

This is good news for Biden, who is struggling to stay ahead of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the 2020 race's first stops of Iowa and New Hampshire. Biden needs South Carolina to give him strength headed into Super Tuesday, which follows three days after polls close in the Palmetto State.

In a Winthrop University poll released Tuesday, Biden received 37 percent among S.C. Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, ahead of Warren at 17 percent. The results mimic findings from the most recent Post and Courier-Change Research poll taken in August.

The Winthrop Poll is significant because it is one of 16 national and early-voting state polls used to determine whether candidates make the stage for debates. It is also the most frequent poll of South Carolina attitudes, going in the field several times a year.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was third at 8 percent, followed by California Sen. Kamala Harris at 7 percent. Results for both are lower than the series of Post and Courier-Change Research polls taken this year in South Carolina, perhaps showing some separation from Biden and Warren, the leaders in national surveys.

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker round out candidates receiving more than 2 percent of support in South Carolina. This is a familiar spot for the duo from past polls.

Biden has led S.C. polls dating back to February — two months before his bid began formally.

Crucial to his chances for success in the South's first primary, Biden continues to hold a commanding lead with African American voters, who cast nearly two-thirds of the state's Democratic primary ballots.

The vice president under the country's first black president has backing from 46 percent of African African voters — well ahead of Harris (10 percent), Warren (9 percent), Sanders (8 percent) and Booker (4 percent), according to the Winthrop Poll. Buttigieg, the race's surprise candidate, did not get any support from S.C. black voters, the poll found.

Warren, who has been running as more of a progressive than Biden, leads among S.C. white voters. She has 29 percent of white support versus 22 percent for Biden.

Still, half of S.C. Democrats said they might change their mind before heading to the polls for the Feb. 29 primary. One in three voters said they are "very sure" about their 2020 pick.

But, in another positive sign for Biden, 41 percent of black voters said they are sticking with their candidate. Just 26 percent of white voters they were sure about their choice.

Not all voters are excited with the large 2020 slate of presidential hopefuls.

Roughly one in six S.C. Democrats had no opinion, did not like any of the candidates or preferred someone who is not running.

The biggest chunk of Democratic voters overall want a nominee with a strong chance of beating Republican President Donald Trump next year, though a bulk of black voters favored someone who shares their views.

2020 SC Presidential Candidate Tracker Stay up-to-date on which 2020 presidential candidates are visiting the Palmetto state with The Post and Courier's tracker. Continually updated as candidates campaign in South Carolina in the months leading up to the state’s February 2020 primary.

Tuesday was the final day for polls used to determine who made the debate on Oct. 15. The Winthrop survey also can be used for the November debate.

The Winthrop Poll results did not alter the lineup of a dozen 2020 candidates who have qualified for the October debate.

For November, the poll did not help entrepreneur Andrew Yang or businessman Tom Steyer in making that debate. They both need one more good showing to qualify but failed to reach the 3 percent threshold in the poll.

Booker was aided with his S.C. performance, but he still needs one more qualifying poll to make the November debate.

The Winthrop Poll surveyed 462 Democratic and Democratic leaning registered voters from Sept. 21-30. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 percent.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Political Polls

Introduction:
Political polls are an essential part of understanding public opinion and predicting election outcomes. However, they can be complex and challenging to read, especially for those who are new to this topic. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand political polls by examining different types of polls, their methods, and the information they provide.

Section 1: Types of Political Polls
There are two main types of political polls: tracking polls and non-tracking polls. Tracking polls are conducted regularly over time, usually on a daily or weekly basis, to track changes in public opinion. Non-tracking polls are conducted less frequently and focus on specific issues or events.

Tracking polls are often used to predict election outcomes by showing how candidates are performing over time. Non-tracking polls may focus on specific issues, such as healthcare or immigration, and show how the public feels about them.

Section 2: Polling Methods
There are several methods used to conduct political polls, including telephone surveys, online surveys, and in-person interviews. Telephone surveys are conducted over the phone by trained interviewers who ask questions and record responses. Online surveys are conducted through websites or social media platforms, where respondents complete a survey online. In-person interviews are conducted face-to-face by trained interviewers.

Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Telephone surveys are considered the gold standard of polling because they allow for more in-depth questioning and are less prone to sampling errors. Online surveys are faster and cheaper to conduct but may not reach all segments of the population equally. In-person interviews are more reliable but can be more expensive and time-consuming.

Section 3: Understanding Poll Results
Poll results are presented in several ways, including percentages, margins of error, and confidence intervals. Percentages show how many people support or oppose a particular candidate or issue. Margins of error show the range within which the true percentage lies, indicating how accurate the poll is. Confidence intervals show the likelihood that the results are statistically significant.

To understand poll results, look for trends over time, differences between subgroups (e.g., men vs. women), and how the results compare to other polls. Also, consider the methodology used and the sample size, as these can affect the accuracy of the poll.

Section 4: Applying Skills to New Problems
Understanding political polls is essential for anyone interested in politics or public policy. By learning how to read and interpret polls, you can make informed decisions about candidates and issues based on data-driven evidence. Additionally, these skills can be applied to other areas of life, such as business or market research.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, reading and understanding political polls requires knowledge of different types of polls, their methods, and the information they provide. By mastering these concepts, you can make informed decisions about candidates and issues based on data-driven evidence.

Errata for yesterday's security release announcement

Yesterday, we announced a security release to address a number of issues that had been brought to our attention. However, that announcement contained one error, and one omission.

Firstly, the error: the example given in the blog entry was misleading. The sample JavaScript code will work for users of Django 1.1.4, but not for users of Django 1.2.5 or trunk. If you are using trunk or Django 1.2.5, you will need to use slightly different Javascript code to extract the CSRF token from a cookie. Django's documentation for CSRF handling contains the correct examples (see the 1.1, 1.2 and trunk documentation respectively).

Secondly, the omission: we neglected to mention that the 1.2.5 release contains three other minor backwards incompatibilities. These incompatibilities relate to the process of deleting files stored in a FileField, the interpretation of initial SQL during testing, and a change to the internals of admin list_filter validation introduced in Django 1.2.4. We generally go to extraordinary lengths to avoid backwards incompatibilities of any kind, but in the case of these three changes, it was not possible to resolve bugs while preserving full backwards compatibility. For more details, see the 1.2.5 release notes.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused by these errors.

Lesson: Introduction to Error Handling

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of error handling and how to identify and fix errors in computer programs.

**Level:** Primary through High School

**Duration:** 45 minutes

**Materials:** Computer, internet connection

**Introduction:** Errors are unintended mistakes in computer programs that cause the program to behave unexpectedly or crash. In this lesson, we will learn about common types of errors, how to identify them, and how to fix them.

**Section 1: Types of Errors**

There are two main types of errors in computer programming: syntax errors and logic errors.

**Syntax Errors:** Syntax errors occur when the programmer writes code that is incorrect according to the rules of the programming language being used. For example, forgetting to include a semicolon at the end of a line in a program written in C++.

**Logic Errors:** Logic errors occur when the code does not behave as intended. For example, if a programmer writes a program that adds two numbers, but the result is incorrect.

**Section 2: Identifying Errors**

There are several tools that programmers can use to identify errors in their code. One of the most common is a compiler, which checks the code for syntax errors and reports any mistakes it finds. Another tool is a debugger, which allows the programmer to step through the code line by line and see exactly what is happening as the program runs.

**Section 3: Fixing Errors**

Once an error has been identified, the programmer must fix it. This may involve rewriting code, adding missing elements, or correcting mistakes. It is essential to carefully review the code and test it thoroughly to ensure that the error has been corrected and that the program behaves as intended.

**Conclusion:** Error handling is an important part of programming. By learning how to identify and fix errors, programmers can create more robust and reliable software. As you continue to learn programming, you will encounter many different types of errors, and you will learn how to handle them effectively.

**Glossary:**
- Syntax: the set of rules that define the structure of a programming language
- Semicolon: a punctuation mark used to separate statements in some programming languages
- Compiler: a computer program that translates written code into machine-readable code
- Debugger: a tool that helps programmers find and fix errors in their code
- Syntax error: an error in the structure of the code
- Logic error: an error in the logic of the code

**Self-Debate:** Why is error handling important in programming?


text: SDLP Foyle MLA Mark H Durkan has welcomed acceptance by Roads Service that traffic calming measures are needed in the Foyle Springs area, but says the scheme must progress without undue delay.. Speaking after a traffic assessment was conducted in the Foyle Springs (phase two area) Mr Durkan said: “People in the Bantry Road, Strangford and Springvale areas have been calling for traffic calming in the area for a long time. The SDLP have persistently raised it with Roads Service and I am pleased they have finally accepted the need for traffic calming measures.. “I regret, however, that Roads Service has said that due to budgetary constraints the work cannot be carried out in the near future, but I call on the DRD Minister Danny Kennedy to do all that he can to ensure this scheme can progress without further undue delay.”

textbook:
Lesson: Understanding Political Processes

**Introduction**: In this lesson, we will learn about the political processes involved in implementing traffic calming measures in a community. We will explore the role of politicians, government agencies, and community members in advocating for and implementing these measures.

**Section 1: Understanding the Political Process**

The political process is the system by which decisions are made in a society. It involves the interaction of different groups, including politicians, government agencies, and community members, who work together to create and implement policies.

**Question:** What is the role of politicians in the political process?

**Answer:** Politicians play an important role in the political process by representing the interests of their constituents. They use their positions of power to influence policy decisions and advocate for their constituents' needs.

**Section 2: Advocating for Traffic Calming Measures**

In the case of traffic calming measures in the Foyle Springs area, the SDLP, a political party in Northern Ireland, has been advocating for these measures for a long time. The party has consistently raised the issue with Roads Service, a government agency responsible for managing roads in Northern Ireland.

**Question:** How does a political party like the SDLP advocate for traffic calming measures?

**Answer:** The SDLP has been persistent in raising the issue of traffic calming measures with Roads Service. They have used various methods to advocate for this cause, such as meeting with government officials, writing letters, and organizing community events to gather support for the proposal.

**Section 3: Implementing Traffic Calming Measures**

After years of advocacy, Roads Service has finally accepted the need for traffic calming measures in the Foyle Springs area. However, they have also stated that due to budgetary constraints, the work cannot be carried out in the near future.

**Question:** What is the role of government agencies like Roads Service in implementing traffic calming measures?

**Answer:** Government agencies like Roads Service play a crucial role in implementing traffic calming measures. They are responsible for designing and constructing the necessary infrastructure, such as speed humps or roundabouts, to slow down traffic and make the area safer for pedestrians.

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we have learned about the political process involved in implementing traffic calming measures in a community. We have explored the roles of politicians, government agencies, and community members in advocating for and implementing these measures. By understanding the political process, we can better appreciate the importance of engaging in civic life and working together to create positive change in our communities.

[Osteoid osteoma at the end of the phalanx of the big toe].
A 20-year-old man with persistent pain in the left big toe associated with broadening, thickening and discolouration of the toenail had been treated unsuccessfully for 21 months by surgical measures (wedge excision, avulsion of the nail) and local applications (antibiotics, antimycotics, disinfectants). A radiograph of the left big toe showed an area of calcification 0.5 cm in diameter at the base of the terminal phalanx. It was surrounded by a narrow zone of transradiancy and projected upwards above the margin of the bone. Among the diagnostic possibilities were osteomyelitis and osteoid osteoma. Biopsy revealed the latter, and the patient was cured by "en bloc" resection of the tumour. This case shows that abnormalities of nail growth of the kind commonly associated with paronychia may occasionally be due to a neoplastic lesion in the terminal phalanx.

Lesson: Introduction to Radiology

### Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about radiology, which is the medical specialty that uses imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases. We will focus on understanding the basics of radiology, including the types of imaging tests, how they work, and their applications in medicine.

### Section 2: Types of Imaging Tests
There are several types of imaging tests used in radiology, including X-rays, ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Each type of test has its own advantages and limitations, and they are used to diagnose and treat different types of conditions.

X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of the body's internal structures. They are commonly used to diagnose fractures, lung infections, and other conditions.

Ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves to create images of the body's internal structures. They are commonly used to diagnose problems with the heart, blood vessels, and other organs.

CT scans use X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. They are commonly used to diagnose cancer, brain injuries, and other conditions.

MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. They are commonly used to diagnose problems with the brain, spine, and other organs.

PET scans use radioactive materials to create images of the body's internal structures. They are commonly used to diagnose cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and other conditions.

### Section 3: How Imaging Tests Work
Imaging tests work by using different types of radiation or sound waves to create images of the body's internal structures. X-rays pass through the body and are absorbed by different tissues, creating an image that shows the density of the tissue. Ultrasounds bounce off the body's internal structures, creating an image that shows the shape and size of the structures. CT scans use X-rays and computer technology to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the body's internal structures. PET scans use radioactive materials to create images of the body's internal structures.

### Section 4: Applications of Imaging Tests in Medicine
Imaging tests are used in medicine to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including fractures, lung infections, cancer, brain injuries, and other organ problems. They help doctors see inside the body and identify problems that might not be visible on the surface. Imaging tests can also be used to guide treatments, such as surgery or radiation therapy, and to monitor the progress of a condition over time.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, radiology is a valuable tool in medicine that allows doctors to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. By understanding the basics of radiology, including the types of imaging tests and their applications, we can better appreciate the importance of this medical specialty in improving patient care.


text: Carles Sierra, Lluis Godo, Jun Hong, Weiru Liu. The deployment of open distributed systems is increasing rapidly. The advances of network technologies are spawning a surge of application domains: ambient intelligence, cloud computing, service oriented computing, sensor networks, or virtual organisations, just to mention a few. These applications are composed of a wealth of physical devices, software components and, frequently, humans. The overall co-ordination of these elements presents a tremendous challenge because of: the lack of a centralised control, the openness of the system, and the complexity and volatility of the environment.. We investigate the use of multiagent technologies to model such systems. A multiagent system is a community of autonomous agents that is situated in an environment. The particular technologies we are mostly interested in are:

textbook:
**Lesson: Introduction to Multiagent Systems**

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about multiagent systems, their components, and their applications in various fields. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the basics of multiagent systems and apply them to real-world scenarios.

**Section 1: Introduction to Multiagent Systems**

A multiagent system (MAS) is a type of computer program in which multiple autonomous agents interact with each other and their environment to achieve individual and common goals. These agents are capable of perceiving the environment, reasoning, deciding, and acting upon it. MAS has been applied to various domains such as robotics, computer games, and distributed problem-solving.

**Section 2: Components of Multiagent Systems**

There are several components of a multiagent system, including:

1. Agents: These are the basic building blocks of a MAS. An agent is a self-contained entity that can perceive its environment, reason, decide, and act.

2. Environment: This refers to the external world that the agents interact with. It may include other agents, physical objects, and other environmental factors.

3. Communication: Agents communicate with each other through messages, which can contain information, requests, or promises.

4. Strategies: These are the algorithms that agents use to make decisions based on their perceptions and goals.

5. Coordination: This refers to the process by which agents coordinate their actions to achieve common goals.

**Section 3: Applications of Multiagent Systems**

Multiagent systems have been applied to various domains, including:

1. Robotics: In robotics, MAS is used to control multiple robots that work together to achieve a common goal.

2. Computer Games: MAS is used to create intelligent game characters that can interact with each other and the environment.

3. Distributed Problem-Solving: MAS is used to solve complex problems by dividing them into smaller subproblems that can be solved independently by multiple agents.

4. Ambient Intelligence: MAS is used to create smart environments that can adapt to the needs of their users.

5. Cloud Computing: MAS is used to manage large-scale distributed systems that provide cloud services.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's consider an example of a multiagent system. Suppose we have a group of robots that need to work together to clean a room. Each robot has its own set of sensors and actuators that allow it to perceive its environment and move around. The robots communicate with each other through messages, sharing information about their locations and the status of the room. Each robot has its own strategy for deciding where to clean next, based on the current state of the room and its own capabilities. Finally, the robots coordinate their actions to ensure that the entire room is cleaned efficiently.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about multiagent systems, their components, and their applications in various fields. We saw how MAS can be used to create intelligent systems that can work together to achieve common goals. By understanding the basics of multiagent systems, we can apply them to real-world scenarios and develop more advanced and efficient systems.

[Spectra of in situ reduction of Ag( I ) by phycocyanin and dynamic formation of Ag(0)].
The interaction of Ag( I ) and Phycocyanin(PC for short) was investigated by ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence and infrared spectra under the condition of 4 degrees C and without light. The results showed that the characteristic absorption of PC at 615 nm decreased gradually with the increase in Ag( I ) concentration and interaction time. Accordingly, its fluorescence emission peak and two fluorescence excitation peaks also decreased. Dynamic formation of nano-Ag(0) was also observed by synchronous fluorescence spectra, showing that Ag(0) was formed by the PC in situ reduction. It was observed by TEM that Ag(0) dispersed in PC, which formed a bioconjugate with PC as the core and nano-Ag(0) as the crust. The bioconjugate was round and its diameter was about 15-30 nm.
