"Are You a Plotter, a Pantser — or a Puzzler? By Ruth Nestvold\n\nMost writers have heard the question before: “Are you a plotter, or are you a pantser?” In other words, do you do a lot of outlining and planning before you start writing (plotters), or do you dive into a project with little or no pre-writing and write “by the seat of your pants” (pantsers)?",
null,
"I was never completely comfortable with either term. On the one hand, I always knew I was more of a plotter than a pantser. Some of my writer friends can take a couple of prompts and immediately start writing. Pantsers barrel into the story and go for it, letting plot and character unfold as they write. For many of them, part of the magic of writing is discovering the story as they go. My late friend Jay Lake was a master pantser, and it baffled me how he could whip up a story out of little more than thin air. I can write stories from prompts too, many of my stories have been written that way, but I just can’t do the “immediate” part. I have to brainstorm and play with ideas first. More than anything else, I need to know the ending before I start. If I don’t, I invariably get bogged down somewhere in the middle and don’t know how to get out of whatever corner I wrote myself into.\n\nOn the other hand, plotting out every single chapter and every single plot twist before I start writing is nearly as foreign to my nature as spontaneously writing a complete story from a single first line. There are a couple of short stories I’ve written that I plotted out almost completely before writing them, most notably “Mars: A Traveler’s Guide.” It was necessary for that story, because each of the disasters had to follow the one preceding it, and the whole arc had to have a very strong increasing sense of inevitability.\n\nBut plotting every single scene like that for a whole novel? It would drive me crazy. I’ve tried it a couple of times. Plotters have a good argument in their favor: if you can plot out the entire novel ahead of time, then the actual writing is a breeze. The plotter can write faster because she knows what’s going to come next, every step of the way. This is the main point of Libbie Hawker’s great writing book, Take off Your Pants. I’ve integrated a number of her techniques into my own pre-writing – but I still find myself flunking out when it comes to planning a novel scene by scene before I start writing.\n\nI would love to be able to write faster, but when I try plotting all the way down to the chapter and scene level, I get just about as stuck as I do when I try to write without any outline at all. The smart plotting books tell me I’m supposed to have this kind of a scene here and there and elsewhere (pinch point, drive for goal, black moment, thwart, fun and games, or whatever the individual writer happens to call it), but while I’m in the pre-writing phase, for the life of me I don’t know what that scene will end up being. I have the basic structure, but the details defeat me.",
null,
"Then at some point, a stumbled across a term that immediately resonated with me, an alternative to the two writing poles of plotters and pantsers — the puzzler. And I realized that’s me.\n\nI start with a whole bunch of pieces, but I don’t get them all lined up neatly in chronological order before I begin. My usual process starts with brainstorming basic plot, characters and setting, and doing the initial research. (I rarely write anything that doesn’t require research.) As I brainstorm, I jot down ideas for potential scenes, which I will do my best to organize in some kind of orderly fashion, often using ideas from various plotting books like Libbie Hawker’s, or Blake Snyder’s Save the Cat, or Joseph Campbell’s quest structure.\n\nBut often before I fill out the main plot points between the beginning to the end, one or another of the scenes I’m brainstorming grabs me, and I have to start writing it. And then another, and another. While I’m writing these random scenes, I also start getting to know my characters better, which gives me a better idea of the kinds of complications that would fit their personalities. And so I start jumping backwards and forwards, filling in the blanks, puzzling out the plot as I go, working on this part and then that, finishing whatever works best first, and then using what I learned there to help me with other sections of the novel.",
null,
"And so it grows like a puzzle, from the edges and the center.\n\nTo a plotter, the process probably sounds very random. But neither am I writing by the seat of my pants. I can’t even start without a bunch of notes on characters and scenes and plot arc and usually a fair amount of research. But in the many years I’ve been writing, I have realized that I can’t seem to get a handle on my characters until I “see” them in action in a few scenes. So it isn’t until I’ve thrown them into their first conflicts and seen how they react that I can start fine-tuning the plot points that will get me from the beginning to the end.\n\nI cannot claim to have come up with the term “puzzler,” but when I googled it to try to find the brilliant originator, all I found were other writers who also heard the term “puzzler” at some point or another and happily adopted it as their own.\n\nThe original version of this post was published on the blog “Indie Adventures” as “By Popular Demand: Pantsers, Plotters, and — Puzzlers!” on September 16, 2012.",

"Ruth Nestvold recently puzzled her way to a new novel, Ygerna, a prequel to her Pendragon Chronicles series (consisting of Yseult and Shadow of Stone so far). Her short stories and novellas have appeared in such markets as Asimov’s, F&SF, Realms of Fantasy, Strange Horizons, and Year’s Best Science Fiction. Her work has been translated into German, Dutch, Italian, French, Spanish, and Hungarian, and been nominated for the Nebula, Sturgeon and Tiptree Awards. The Italian translation of Looking Through Lace won the Premio Italia speculative fiction award.\n\n1 Response to Are You a Plotter, a Pantser — or a Puzzler? By Ruth Nestvold"

"Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Guardians is one that Detroit Tigers rookie Alex Faedo will never forget as he picked up his first Major League win.\n\nThough Faedo did not have his best stuff (5.1 innings, 6 hits, 2 walks, and 2 earned runs), it was enough to get the job done as the Tigers walked away with a 4-2 win.\n\nFollowing the game, Faedo got the customary ‘beer shower’ from his teammates.\n\n“Yeah, lot’s of baby powder, lots of catsup, via (Tarik) Skubal, all sorts of different drinks and stuff all over,” Faedo said. “It was pretty cool. They put him in the laundry basket. It was funny.”\n\n“You have to enjoy wins,” Faedo said. “You only get your first win once. I want to enjoy this.”\n\nAlex Faedo was not part of the Detroit Tigers’ original plan\n\nHeading into the 2022 season, the plan was not to have Alex Faedo in the rotation at this point in the season. In fact, it was likely not part of the plan at all to have him in the starting rotation at any point during this season.\nBut with injuries to the starters piling up, Faedo has been called upon and he has been everything the Tigers could have asked for.\nTigers manager A.J. Hinch says Faedo always seems “under control.”\n\n“He is fearless,” Hinch said. “He’s got some weapons and he’s got some competitiveness which is good. He’s not afraid. The moment never speeds up too fast for him.\n\n“He seems always under control. There is a lot to like with him.”\n\nIt was a shaky first inning for the rookie\n\nThings did not start off as planned for Faedo on Sunday afternoon as it took him 29 pitches to get through the first inning.\n\nBut that’s exactly what he did.\n\n“I just needed to get back in the zone and I needed to get ahead,” Faedo said. “I know one run was on the board. I had to find a way to work out of it. It’s a long game. And I knew (Shane) Bieber was on the mound for them and he’s one of the best pitchers in baseball.\n\n“I had to do whatever I could to leave it at one and give us a chance.”\n\nFaedo is now 1-1 on the season with an even 3.00 ERA. If he continues to pitch as well as he has, it will be tough for the Tigers to send him back down.\n\nWe hear from Alex Faedo after he secures his first major-league victory. #DetroitRoots pic.twitter.com/l4qLAu7iS6\n\nQuotes via The Detroit News"

"Rick’s Tavern on Main will be reopening under new ownership next month.\n\nThe bar located at 2907 Main Street in Santa Monica has been a constant since the end of the prohibition era and the bar’s newest owners plan on continuing that tradition as reported by The Santa Monica Daily Press.\n\nOriginally, Willie Ts was the bar in the space that opened in the 1930s. For the last 25 years, the bar has been known as Rick’s Tavern on Main and was owned by Howard Alpert. Alpert recently sold the bar to Mark and Addie Van Gessel and Lance Sellers, their business partner. The Van Gessels and Sellers’ plan is to reopen the bar as Tavern On Main during the Fourth of July weekend.\n\nWhile losing a neighborhood mainstay is a blow to local residents, Addie Gessell said, as quoted by The Santa Monica Daily Press, that the bar will be revamped but retain the spirit of Rick’s and that the bar’s mission is “good pints, good times.”\n\nThe Van Gessells see a need for a bar that has a more casual atmosphere and a focus on building a welcoming community for patrons. With food culture in the Los Angeles area seemingly focused more on how good things look and what pictures or videos you can post on social media, that community focused comfort is what they would like to be their goal. They already own two businesses in the area, Venice dive bar Hinano Cafe and a nostalgic restaurant Nighthawk Breakfast Bar.\n\nAddie Van Gessell said, as quoted by The Santa Monica Daily Press, “We’re really so happy to become members of the Santa Monica and the Main Street community. We’ve been here for over 30 years, so we’ve seen a lot of things come and go, but we create places that we like to hang out in and we’re comfortable in and that we want to go to.”\n\nThere will be some exciting new changes coming with the new owners taking over. Tavern On Main will add breakfast and lunch service. Their experience with Nighthawk Breakfast Bar will serve them well and they will be the only space on the street that offers breakfast food. They already have a fabulous menu planned including chilaquiles, cinnamon churro french toast, fried chicken, pancakes, steak and eggs and waffles.\n\nLunch and dinner services as well as an appetizer menu will all be based on American comfort foods that are classics. They will retain Rick’s chicken wings which are a popular favorite and they will add additional sauces like buffalo, Cajun barbecue, garlic parmesan, Jamaican jerk and a Thai flavored sauce. You will also find bacon-wrapped shrimp, bacon mac and cheese bites, Cool Ranch Doritos chicken fingers, a Cuban style sandwich, short rib poutine and homemade cookies.\n\nThe Van Gessels are renovating the space to create a real pub feel that makes patrons feel comfortable enough to eat, drink and stay as long as they wish. The marble bar is getting refreshed and a brick wall underneath will be revealed as a design element. The bar will put the focus back on beers on tap with twelve beers on draft and even more selections in bottles. The cocktail menu is also getting an update and will be crafted to work in tandem with the brunch menu. This will include three different varieties of the Bloody Mary.\n\nAddie Van Gessel said, as reported by The Santa Monica Daily Press, “We offer something for everyone: great music, great sports viewing, and a great place to come sit on the sidewalk or by the bay windows and watch the local color as it goes by. We are really happy to bring our camaraderie and our hospitality philosophy to Main Street and we’re really looking forward to becoming active members in the Santa Monica business community as well as providing a wonderful service to the neighborhood at large.”",

"Malic acid is found in many sour or tart-tasting foods such as fruit; it’s used to add flavor and texture to fruit fillings and jellies in baked goods.\n\nWhat is Malic Acid?\n\nMalic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C4H6O5 (Figure 1). It is made by all living organisms and it contributes to the pleasantly sour taste of fruits. Malic acid is used as a flavor enhancer, flavor agent and adjuvant, and pH control agent in food products.1",

"Malic acid was first isolated from apply juice in 1785, by the Swedish Chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who referred to it as “acid of apples.”2\n\nMalic acid has two stereoisomeric forms (L- and D- enantiomers), and only the L-isomer exists naturally. Commercial production of malic acid is by hydration of fumaric acid or maleic acid and the product is DL-malic acid.1\n\nMalic acid is affirmed as GRAS by FDA which is listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (Title 21 Part 184.1069)1. The ingredients are used in food, except baby food, at levels not to exceed good manufacturing practice. Current good manufacturing practice results in a maximum level, as served, of 3.4% for nonalcoholic beverages, 3.0% for chewing gum, 0.8% for gelatins, pudding, and fillings, 6.9% for hard candy, 2.6% for jams and jellies, 3.5% for processed fruits and fruit juices, 3.0% for soft candy, 0.7% for all other food categories.1"

"Shanghai, China – A decade ago China produced 121 males for every 100 females. It was a frightening figure that officials could not ignore – the natural sex ratio being 105 boys to every 100 girls.\n\nWorrying visions of a dystopian society overrun by tens of millions single Chinese men led to a government crackdown on illegal gender tests, selective abortions, and an eventual loosening of its one-child policy.\n\nWhile the gender gap has decreased in recent years, now standing at almost 116 boys to every 100 girls, there are signs more needs to be done to tackle the problem.\n\nIn a country where the family name is carried down the patrilineal line, and male heirs are perceived to offer families the greatest social security, there is a well-known preference for sons over daughters.\n\nMrs Xia, a 34-year-old English teacher from Guangdong province, says her husband’s family wanted her to have a son to run the family business.\n\n“I married into a wealthy family and my husband’s mother was eager for me to have a boy. I considered having an abortion if the child was a girl – although I personally didn’t mind either way.\n\n“One of my best friends told me that she knew a doctor who runs a clinic that helps pregnant woman to check the gender of a baby. My friend gave me the address and I went with my husband. The test was not painful and lasted for just 15 minutes.\n\n“As I am a teacher, I did not tell anyone about this experience except my family members, as the gender test is illegal in China.”\n\nAccording to the latest national census results, the gender gap shot back up in Shanghai – China’s largest city with a population of 14 million people – for the first time in five years. Shanghai women gave birth to more than 112 boys to every 100 girls in 2014, up from 109.6 boys the previous year.\n\nProfessor Ruijun Wu from the School of Social Development, East China Normal University, says the rise can be largely attributed to an increased migrant population in the city in 2014.\n\n“The newborn gender ratio among people from other cities is bigger than among Shanghai local population,” she says.\n\nWhile Shanghai’s migrant population has certainly contributed to a higher newborn gender ratio than local residents in recent years, an official breakdown for last year’s births has not yet been released.\n\nI considered having an abortion if the child was a girl - although I personally didn't mind either way.\n\nPoliticians have fought to control the widening gap by limiting access to sex tests, and subsequent abortions of females. But there still remains almost no difficulty in finding out the gender of a foetus.\n\nMrs Liu, 30, works as a clerk in an insurance company in Shandong province and said it was easy to find out the sex of her unborn child.\n\n“My uncle works at one of the largest and most renowned hospitals in the city. He persuaded a doctor to tell me the baby’s gender. It cost the same as a normal antenatal test, 270 RMB [$43].”\n\nLiu says she wouldn’t have considered an abortion if the child was male – but was aware her husband’s parents wanted her to have a boy.\n\nFor past decades, China’s one-child policy has been blamed for skewing the gender balance sharply in favour of men.\n\nLast year, the Chinese government relaxed family planning policies, allowing couples to have a second baby if one or both of the parents is an only child. Yet families with multiple children have continued to contribute to the gender imbalance.\n\n“It’s common for Shanghai local families to have a girl at first and then a boy,” says Wu. “It’s not because people prefer boys. It’s because they think boys could burden more responsibilities. Girls can find it more difficult to find a job and get married if they are educated.”\n\nA survey of 1,000 people aged 25 to 36 in the Jing’an district of Shanghai last year suggested almost two-thirds did not have a specific preference about the future gender of their first child. In fact, 13.7 percent preferred to have a girl, and 8.7 percent a boy.\n\nYet when it comes to having second children, traditional values appear to prevail – regardless of personal preference.\n\nWhile first-born children in China have roughly average sex ratios, the gender gap widens dramatically for second-born children, revealed a study of 2005 census data published in the British Medical Journal.\n\nAccording to Wu’s research, it is common for families to be concerned about the prospects for newborn girls in later life.\n\nXia says she was determined to have a boy.\n\n“If the test had been wrong, I would have quit my job and had another baby. After all, they needed a son to take over the family business,” says Xia.\n\nIn addition, Wu says the authorities should do more to change attitudes towards having daughters in the first place.\n\n“I think the government should also deal with women’s difficulties they are facing in job hunting and getting married.\n\n“For instance, the government may encourage enterprises to employ women, or offer some services for women to meet their Mr Right.”",

"Rather well-known Dutch developer Sheriff Gaming was rapidly growing its business, but it suddenly ceased operations. What was the reason for the event?\n\nThe situation unfolded in September 2013, when the company’s owners were placed under judicial investigation. Sheriff Gaming’s license was revoked, but customers were not affected – the company was still successfully developing 3D slots for online casinos for several years. There were rumours of a desire to change the name of the company to save its reputation, but it never happened.\n\nWhat do the staff say?\n\nIt turned out that the company’s management was managing the cash winnings among the winners. Small prizes were given to the players, but the average person could not make a big score. For this purpose, numerous fake accounts were created, registered to executives and their relatives. It was on these accounts that large sums of money fell out.\n\nAccording to one of the employees, if customers used the progressive jackpot system and got a big win, the company refused to pay out the money in 95% of cases. All the round figures went to the owners’ accounts.\n\nTestimony from a programmer who worked for the company also confirms the scheme to undercut interest for regular players. According to him, one day the programme malfunctioned and a large sum of money went to one of the customers. The situation infuriated the director, who then ordered that the full amount not be paid to the winner.\n\nWhy have there been no scandals?\n\nIt is surprising how the numerous refusals to pay out money have not raised a wave of scandals and loss of reputation for the company. However, employees said that when accidentally winning large sums of money, they explained to players that there had allegedly been a software glitch and the jackpot had been hit by a mistake. Another way out of the situation was to accuse the person of cheating, foul play.\n\nThis approach has repeatedly helped to resolve the conflict situation in the company’s favour, and customers have walked away with nothing, without being charged. In some cases, management offered to take a much smaller amount, to which everyone agreed. If a player insisted on a hundred per cent payout, he was rejected altogether.\n\nUnsuccessful inspections of the regulator\n\nThe gambling industry has a prestigious Alderney license (AGCC). It is issued by an independent non-governmental company that protects players from unfair gaming and regulates gambling companies.\n\nSheriff Gaming had such a licence. How is it that the inspections did not reveal any violations? The fact is that before another visit to the office, the developer had to adjust statistics and other documents to demonstrate clean operation. As a result, the regulator did not detect player cheating and the licence continued to operate, inspiring public confidence.\n\nWhere are the deceived people?\n\nMost often, customers are cheated in urban casinos. Management cites technical faults in the machines, leaving cash on the company’s balance sheet. Such cases cause scandal and public outcry.\n\nAttempts to find conflicting cases online have been unsuccessful. Perhaps the players did not advertise the claims or the company cleaned up negative publicity in search engines. If you know cases of payment denial from this developer, report about it in comments on the forum.\n\nAccording to one version, Sheriff Gaming is a company set up after the departure of one of the founders from BetSoft. It is a London-based software developer that has released around 160 games. It has not been officially confirmed, but the companies’ products are very similar.\n\nIf you look at The Amsterdam Masterplan, you can see a similar style and intro. That said, both products were released in the same year.\n\nMore than once the companies have clashed in court over copyright claims. In this battle, Betsoft has been defeated twice.\n\nThe owners tried to sell the company’s assets, but the government did not allow this, and the brand went bankrupt along with its head office. The assets were confiscated and sold to Novomatic, a major Austrian company.",

"A genealogy researcher knows to ask: Which way to the boat? In the genealogy world, we all know that we came here from somewhere else. But, finding the year of immigration and the boat are an important part of the story for the family history researcher. As with so many aspects of genealogy, sometimes it’s easy and sometimes…well…it’s not.",

"The Castelluccios are a bit harder to follow because they seem to have moved around on a regular basis.\n\nIn the 1920 U.S. Census, this genealogy search has the family, including father Frank, living at 314 Sixth Street in Jersey City. By 1930, the Castelluccios had moved to Newark and were residing at 9 High Street. In 1940 they were at 202 8th Avenue.\n\nThis professional genealogist is not sure what was going on in 1910, but in the 1920 U.S. Census, Rose is enumerated as the mother of Frank and Millie is no longer a widow, but the wife of Frank. As a note, Millie was a presser in a linen factory. In the later censuses, Frank was a barber. But nobody said the Italians were neat: This genealogy researcher hasn’t located immigration records for Frank that I am comfortable with.\n\nThe family lived at 438 Marcy Ave and Joseph was a cloth presser. Not long after the 1900 census was taken, this genealogy researcher has found that the family moved to New Jersey and that is where the rest of the children were born. Keep in mind that this genealogy researcher has found that in the 1910 census, Frank was listed as being born in New Jersey and in the 1920 census he was again born in Italy. Joseph bought a house at 221 Montgomery Street in Jersey City and the family lived there until the 1920s. Joseph became a barber and, for a time around 1910, he and his son, Andrew, were in business together.\n\nBut what about the immigration?\n\nA good genealogy researcher looks into the history of how things work– and immigration is one of those things.\n\nHere is a short timeline:\n\nOften overlooked by genealogists and family history researchers, Castle Garden was located near the dock where visitors and tourists now catch a ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Maintained by the National Park Service, Castle Garden, now has an online data base of immigrants who were processed through that facility. And thus, our genealogy research takes us to:\n\nOn 17 May 1884, one Gius. Rinaldi, a 16 year-old laborer from Avigliano, Italy stepped off the ship Scotia to begin a new life in New York.\n\nSearching for the immigration records of your family members? Let RecordClick’s genealogists for hire find all the documents for you. This is what we love to do!"

"Late 2019, my wife and I were approached by performance company to translate Rakugo plays for a New York audience. It wasn't as easy as I first thought. You see, Rakugo is a very traditional art form of story telling. There's a man (or woman) sitting on his/her knees, telling a story. Usually funny. Rarely scary. The stories were developed in the Edo period (1603–1868).\n\nThe New York performance was cancelled due to Covid-19. It was also cancelled for this year as well. But the students (performers all 55+ years old) had practiced for a year. Most do not speak any English. They did a good job.\n\nI say Rakugo play because this wasn't a traditional performance. There were 8 or 9 people and they acted the story. There were also some songs and dance routines. But they made them funny. It's hard to explain the actual performance as a bit of Japanese ancient culture knowledge is required. They did have a lady standing to one side to introduce the story, with a bit of the background on the times.\n\nThe play used traditional Rakugo stories and it was broadcast on YouTube Live for 2000yen. 1000yen for archive version. Sorry, I have no photos. It was live and I was LOL with the wife.\n\nThat was my Sunday. How was yours?\n\nPopular posts from this blog",

"My first ever crime thriller, which is looking for an agent, is now on hold of agent hunting. I ran it through pro writing aid and noticed a few fuck ups, that I kept missing. So, I hunted for an editor. Most are way out of my COVID-19 affected wallet. Luckily, I stumbled across a lady who edits for her own pleasure (I guess) and charges an agreeable amount. It's a proofread and should catch what I missed. That being said, not all edits are prefect and I'm going to need to go through it again. I've also redone the cover and adjusted the title. I'm looking for legacy publishing more than self publishing, but it's always nice to have a cover just for the hell of it. The covers were made using \"Canva\", as my old software Corel Paintshop Pro, no longer works for some reason. Also, Canva is pretty easy. Here's a canva aff link so we both can earn points for premium content. https://www.canva.com/join/vpx-jdw-ycq hahahaha. Let me know which one you like\nRead more\n\nCover make make or break a book. Truth be told, a great cover gets us to glance at the book, pick it up and read the back copy (blurb) to see if it is for us. Does it sound exciting? Does the language pop? Important questions. The same questions sound be asked of your cover. Does it look exciting? Does the image pop? There are some shocking covers out there. Some are mine. LOL. But true. I always believed a cover should preview what the book is about. Recently, I've discovered that's not exactly true. There are a lot of legacy published titles that have awesome covers that have nothing to do with the story (mostly, not always. For example: T. M. Logan's covers --so far-- match the story). Let's look at a couple of examples: The links to these books are below (not aff links). Dancing girls is a beautiful cover.

"Sweating blood over the outline? writing an outline Outlines. Are they good, bad, needed or not required. Outlines. Are they good, bad, needed or not required. I have heard authors claim not to use one, while I’ve heard that other writers can’t write a book without an outline first. Where do I stand in all of this? Well, right bang in the middle from starting my latest book, Darkness. I am new to outlining. I admit that I don’t know a whole lot about the process, I searched the web for hours trying to finding something that would work for me to no avail (not everything works for everyone), so in this article I’d like to give you a run down on what I do and some places to find good info on outlines. Hopefully these words will give you an idea on how to write them or give you an idea on making your own style. Until recently, I never wrote an outline.

"Citra and Rowan have disappeared.Endura is gone. It seems like nothing stands between Scythe Goddard and absolute dominion over the world scythedom. With the silence of the Thunderhead and the reverberations of the Great Resonance still shaking the earth to its core, the question remains: Is there anyone left who can stop him?\n\nThe answer lies in the Tone, the Toll, and the Thunder.",

"Intelligent and entertaining. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Even better than the first book.

Since then, he has become an urban legend, a vigilante snuffing out corrupt scythes in a trial by fire.\n\nHis story is told in whispers across the continent. As Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the new order. But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.\n\nOld foes and new enemies converge, and as corruption within the Scythedom spreads, Rowan and Citra begin to lose hope. Will the Thunderhead intervene? Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?"

"Over the course of the week, a cadre of bloggers will be posting on the full spectrum of science topics covered at Fall Meeting! These bloggers are students in UC Santa Cruz’s Science Communication program. More info about each student is posted below:",
null,
"Nadia Drake grew up in Santa Cruz and then lived on the east coast for more than a decade. She graduated from Cornell University in 2002 with majors in biology, psychology and dance, then worked in a clinical genetics lab at the Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore for two years. She went back to Cornell and earned her PhD in genetics in 2009. Her interests span science topics from the very small (DNA methylation) to the very large (colliding galaxies).",
null,
"Melissae Fellet grew up in Florida and spent a few years in Missouri. Now, she’s hiking through the redwoods in the mountains north of Santa Cruz and scanning the Pacific Ocean for glimpses of feeding dolphins and sea lions. Following a fascination with atoms and molecules to graduate school, she completed a Ph.D. in chemistry at Washington University in St. Louis. One of the things she enjoys about science writing is exploring fields outside her expertise. Because she loves to be outside, enjoys writing about biology, ecology, and the environment.",
null,
"Donna Hesterman earned her Master’s degree from Auburn University in 2006 after 10 years of service with the U.S. Marine Corps. After graduating, she worked for the USDA as a wildlife biologist in Ventura, California. Most of her academic work was in ecology and evolutionary biology.",
null,
"A native Californian, Jane Lee went to graduate school at UCLA’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. She studied jellyfish for her Master’s work, diving for them off the coast of Panama and using remotely operated vehicles to study them off the coast of California. Jane also has an abiding love of sea slugs. Invertebrates fascinate her because they do everything people do, but with less equipment.",
null,
"Catherine Meyers grew up in Boulder, Colo., where she developed a love for mountains, clear skies, and clean air. She comes to science writing with a background in engineering, and she is particularly interested in the cool contraptions that scientists use to gather their data.\n\nKeith Rozendal’s father was a petroleum geologist who loved field work. He helped Keith to develop a scientific mind and an appreciation of nature. After earning a doctorate in social psychology from UC Santa Barbara, Keith taught psychology methods, history, and statistics in the Cal State system. While studying psychology, astronomy, and space physics at Rice University in Houston, he also began a long career in community-based radio–as a music programmer and a director of news and public affairs. He just completed an internship at the Santa Cruz Sentinel and he will intern with the SETI Institute’s radio program “Are We Alone?” beginning January.\n\nPrior to graduate school, Danielle Venton studied biology at Humboldt State University and worked as a physics and technology writer in the IT Department at CERN. She has lived and worked in four countries. Aside from collecting stamps in her passport, Danielle enjoys hiking, reading and music. Last fall she interned at the Monterey County Herald, and during the winter she will be be an intern for Wired.com",
null,
"Susan Young earned her doctorate in molecular biology at UC Berkeley, where she studied early animal evolution. she loves writing about the natural sciences because she’s fascinated by life and the planet it calls home.\n\nSascha Zubryd loves science! In college, she found cognitive neuroscience especially fascinating, and loved studying what drives human and animal behavior. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Davis. As a Bay Area native, she grew up visiting the Academy of Sciences and other wonderful museums. That experience cultivated in her a lasting hunger for understanding, a desire to know how and why the world is the way it is. She particularly enjoys learning and writing about the life sciences because so many factors–cosmological, geophysical, chemical–influence life’s form and function."

"#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens brings you the delights of a long-ago country-village Christmas, featuring a grandmother, her grandchildren, an artifact hunter, the lady who catches his eye, and three ancient coins that draw them all together in a Christmas treasure hunt.\nTherese, Lady Osbaldestone, and her household again welcome her younger daughter's children, Jamie, George, and Lottie, plus their cousins Melissa and Mandy, all of whom have insisted on spending the three weeks prior to Christmas at Therese's house, Hartington Manor, in the village of Little Moseley.\nThe children are looking forward to the village's traditional events, and this year, Therese has arranged a new distraction-the plum puddings she and her staff are making for the entire village. But while cleaning the coins donated as the puddings' good-luck tokens, the children discover that three aren't coins of the realm. When consulted, Reverend Colebatch summons a friend, an archaeological scholar from Oxford, who confirms the coins are Roman, raising the possibility of a Roman treasure buried somewhere near. Unfortunately, Professor Webster is facing a deadline and cannot assist in the search, but along with his niece Honor, he will stay in the village, writing, remaining available for consultation should the children and their helpers uncover more treasure.\nIt soon becomes clear that discovering the source of the coins-or even which villager donated them-isn't a straightforward matter. Then the children come across a personable gentleman who knows a great deal about Roman antiquities. He introduces himself as Callum Harris, and they agree to allow him to help, and he gets their search back on track.\nBut while the manor five, assisted by the gentlemen from Fulsom Hall, scour the village for who had the coins and search the countryside for signs of excavation and Harris combs through the village's country-house libraries, amassing evidence of a Roman compound somewhere near, the site from which the coins actually came remains a frustrating mystery.\nThen Therese recognizes Harris, who is more than he's pretending to be. She also notes the romance burgeoning between Harris and Honor Webster, and given the girl doesn't know Harris's full name, let alone his fraught relationship with her uncle, Therese steps in. But while she can engineer a successful resolution to one romance-of-the-season, as well as a reconciliation long overdue, another romance that strikes much closer to home is beyond her ability to manipulate.\nMeanwhile, the search for the source of the coins goes on, but time is running out. Will Therese's grandchildren and their Fulsom Hall helpers locate the Roman merchant's villa Harris is sure lies near before they all must leave the village for Christmas with their families?"

"Is Indonesia slipping back in terms of promoting freedom of expression online? Does the country have laws in place to protect its citizens’ right to free speech and expression? Are these laws being implemented in a way that promotes human rights or are the same laws being used to curtail freedom and self-expression?\n\nThese are the questions that the report Unshackling Expression: A study on online freedom of expression in Indonesia attempts to answer. Developed by the Association of Progressive Communications (APC) and Alghiffari Aqsa, founder of the AMAR Law Firm and Public Interest Law Office, the report provides an overview of how Indonesian laws and policies protect or curtail freedom of expression online. This report was produced through the CYRILLA initiative.\n\nThe World Project Rule of Law Index for 2020 reflected that Indonesia takes the 79th place regarding the implementation of human rights out of 128 countries surveyed. The right to civil and political freedom in the country scored 61 out of 100. Meanwhile, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the country ranks 64th out of 167 countries in terms of how democratic the government rules. On a scale of one to seven, Indonesia has 3.2 points in relation to protecting human rights, with the worst measurements showing for the promotion of right to freedom of religion and belief and freedom of expression.\n\nThis new study follows the format and analysis of the 2017 APC report Unshackling Expression: A study on laws criminalising expression online in Asia. The methodology employed a normative-empirical legal research carried through the analysis of written regulations and cases related to freedom of expression and right to free speech online. The study also looked into bills that, while not entirely related to freedom of expression and the right to free speech, may be used to curtail dissent and criticism of the government and certain groups.\n\nThe report found that compared to previous years, Indonesia is doing worse in terms of promoting human rights and democracy. While the country has a number of regulations that protect freedom of expression online, it also has laws that may be applied to prosecute individuals who are attempting to voice dissent, criticise or merely state an observation. Such laws include the Criminal Code, Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE) Law, the State Flag and Symbol Law and the Pornography Law. A threat also lies in the passing of the Criminal Code Bill as it maintained articles often used to criminalise freedom of expression and will also revive articles that were revoked by the Constitutional Court.\n\nApart from the observations above, the report also sheds light on how these laws are implemented and applied in cases. Such examples include the use of the ITE law against Papuan activists and the allegations of hate speech against human rights activists. The laws governing hate speech, which were originally passed to protect minority and vulnerable groups, are being used to silence dissenters and activists critical of the government. The report also notes that attacks on freedom of expression are becoming diverse in the country. In the past, freedom of expression online was generally attacked in terms of alleged slander, defamation and blasphemy. Now, the state and other actors have learned to use laws on treason, hate speech and fake news to prevent people from speaking out online. Attacks against free speech are made worse by other tactics that include buzzing (trolling), hacking, bullying and shutting down the internet.\n\nTo counter such attacks, it is recommended for the state to review how laws related to freedom of expression and the right to free speech are being implemented and used in cases. It is pertinent that law enforcement agencies are well-versed in such laws and policies and are knowledgeable enough to apply these laws to cases where these laws and policies are actually applicable. Further, the state and the law enforcers should understand the principles of freedom of expression and human rights including the Johannesburg Principles, the Camden Principle and the Siracusa Principle. Lastly and most importantly, there is a need to reiterate and uphold accountability of officials implementing the laws either through strengthening supervisory institutions or reforming criminal procedural law in a way that strictly adheres to human rights principles and protection."

"With money at their disposal, many African governments spent more on poverty reduction, education and health care, which in turn opened up new economic prospects for the people. Heilbrunn does not deny that the oil boom had negative impacts, including Dutch disease, corruption and resource-motivated armed conflict, on some countries. Overall, however, he concludes that oil production is a dynamic and open process that can steer a country in different directions.\n\nOverall, it is clear that closed theories like Karl′s take too little account of the historical dimension, especially the long-term nature of development. Country comparisons, such as the one carried out by Sachs and Warner, use highly aggregated variables, so it is difficult to form a sufficiently clear picture of institutional factors and the various policy measures taken by the respective ruling elites.",

"Poverty despite a resource-rich economy: Algeria – leading oil producer and Europe′s second largest gas supplier after Russia – has been swamped with petrodollars since the onset of the fourth oil crisis in 2003. Yet the discrepancy is alarming: while the state lines its pockets, the Algerian population becomes increasingly impoverished\n\nAbove all, it is important to take a close look at the countries compared. Given the different history, it is not surprising that industrial countries have better governance indicators than resource exporting ones. Such comparisons do little to explain the impacts of oil. As Peters (2014) points out, many of the negative features noted in oil states – authoritarian rule, patronage networks, corruption and fiscal crises – also apply to countries that do not have oil. The ″resource curse″ approach does not explain the matter, which requires closer reflection.\n\nAgainst this backdrop, Heilbrunn′s focus on the historical background of the oil-producing states is quite convincing. The historical perspective leads to the conclusion that processes of social change take place subtly and take time. And that is also confirmed by the long-term study conducted by Cavalcanti, Da Mata and Toscani.\n\nThere thus seems to be no automatic determinant of the failure or success of resource-rich countries. On the contrary, they result from an open-ended dynamic process that depends on a number of largely historical, country-specific factors.\n\nNassir Djafari is a former KfW economist and a freelance writer.\n\nEifert, B., Gelb, A., Tallroth, N.

"President Donald Trump marked the 75th anniversary of D-Day Thursday at the American cemetery above Omaha Beach, praising the courage and sacrifice of those who fought here and lauding the alliance that turned the tide of World War II and defeated the Nazis in World War II.\n\n“Our bond is unbreakable,” he declared.\n\n“On these shores, on these bluffs, on this day 75 years ago, 10,000 men shed their blood and thousands sacrificed their lives for their brothers, for their countries and for the survival of liberty,” Trump said. “Today we remember those who fell, and we honor all who fought right here in Normandy. They won back this ground for civilization.”\n\nTrump’s sentiments resembled those of his predecessors who spoke here on previous anniversaries. Unlike them, however, he has frequently disparaged U.S. alliances and questioned the continued usefulness of the institutions, including NATO and the European Union, that grew out of the World War II victory and have helped give Europe its longest period of peace in centuries.\n\nFor the day, however, he and French President Emmanuel Macron, who also spoke, put aside those arguments.\n\nWith 35 D-Day veterans, now in their 90s, on hand, the two leaders praised the soldiers who stormed the beaches here and expressed, as Trump said, “undying gratitude.”\n\n“You are among the greatest Americans who will ever live,” Trump told the veterans. “You are the glory of our nation, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”\n\nMacron, who delivered his speech in French, addressed the veterans in English.\n\n“We know what we owe to you veterans: our freedom,” he said. “On behalf of my nation, I just want to say thank you.”\n\nEven in their celebratory remarks, however, current tensions lay just below the surface. Macron made a point of reminding the crowd that French troops also played a role in the invasion and eventual liberation of France from the Nazis.\n\nFrench fighters, Macron said, “were able to pave the way” for Allied forces.\n\nAnd the U.S., Macron said, while Trump sat with arms folded behind him, “is never greater than when it is fighting for the freedom of others.”\n\nHe reminded Trump that the Atlantic Treaty and the EU grew out of the Allies’ victory in World War II.\n\n“The lessons of Colleville-sur-Mer are: liberty and democracy are inseparable,” Macron said.\n\nTrump’s nationalist, “America First” approach has tested the strength of the U.S. relationships with NATO and longstanding allies, including Britain and France.\n\nHe has withdrawn the U.S. from multilateral agreements, shown a disinclination to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who seeks to weaken the European bloc, and expressed an affinity for anti-democratic populists and Euro-skeptic Brexiteers in Britain.\n\nBut on this sunny Normandy morning, speaking just steps from the graves of nearly 10,000 American servicemen killed in the D-Day invasion and subsequent military operations, Trump celebrated the alliance.\n\n“To all our friends and partners — our cherished alliance was forged in the heat of battle, tested in the trials of war and proven in the blessings of peace,” he said. “Our bond is unbreakable.”\n\nTrump concluded his speech by asserting that America is “stronger than ever before” and thanked D-Day veterans one final time.\n\nTrump and Macron took the stage together, along with their wives, around 11:30 a.m. local time and shook hands with the veterans seated in the first row on the stage. Several shouted words of encouragement to Trump as he made his way down the row.\n\n“I know a lot of people in Pennsylvania who want to vote for you,” one called out loudly enough to be heard by those sitting close to the stage.\n\nFollowing the ceremony, which included flyovers by U.S. and French planes, Trump is set to fly over historic Point du Hoc, where Army Rangers scaled cliffs on d-Day to capture German artillery. He and Macron are scheduled to meet in Caen in the afternoon.\n\nIt is the second day of D-Day commemorations for Trump, who took part in a ceremony Wednesday at a British naval base in Portsmouth, the point of embarkation for many of the U.S. and British forces that stormed the beaches of northern France.\n\nEven on such a historic, somber occasion, the president’s focus wasn’t completely on the anniversary.\n\nPrior to departing Ireland, where Trump chose to spend two nights at a golf resort he owns rather than stay in Normandy, he spoke with reporters on the airport tarmac to attack Democrats on immigration and to threaten Mexico and China with additional tariffs.\n\n“We’re getting 25% on $250 billion,” Trump said, referring to existing tariffs on China. “And I could go up another at least $300 billion, and I’ll do that at the right time.\n\nThe D-Day ceremony marked the last big event of Trump’s five-day European swing, which began Monday in London. The president is scheduled to fly back to Washington on Friday.\n\nCampus News\nIn the Noah’s Ark of citrus, caretakers try to stave off a fruit apocalypse\n306 views\n\nCampus News\nUSC offers free tuition to families making under $80,000 and a break for homeowners\n199 views\n\nCampus News\n‘Adulting’ is hard.

"Hillary Clinton said last Thursday the nation needs to work together to repair rifts between police officers and the communities they serve and guard against more discord — a veiled reference to rival Donald Trump.\n\nThe Democratic presidential nominee was meeting with law enforcement leaders in New York City, joining with chiefs of police in the days after Trump, her Republican opponent, accused her of being “against the police” following a police shooting in Milwaukee.\n\nClinton made no mention of her opponent at the start of her meeting with eight law enforcement leaders but her comments appeared aimed at pushing back against Trump’s claims that he was the best candidate to restore law and order following a rash of deadly police shootings.\n\n“We have to be clear-eyed about the challenges we face. We can’t ignore them and certainly we must not inflame them,” Clinton said at New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice. “We need to work together to bridge our divides, not stoke even more divisiveness.”\n\nClinton has made criminal justice reform a central piece of her candidacy and has been frequently joined by a group of black women who lost a child to gun violence or amid allegations of police brutality. She has urged “white Americans” to put themselves in the shoes of “black Americans” to understand the harms of profiling and similarly said everyday Americans should understand the daily challenges faced by members of law enforcement and their families.\n\nTrump spokesman Jason Miller said after the meeting that Clinton “and her allies’ anti-police rhetoric show she cares more about protecting criminals over keeping America safe.”\n\nClinton said at the start of the meeting that the deadly shootings in Dallas, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Milwaukee show the need for the nation “to repair the bonds of trust and respect between our police officers and our communities.”\n\nClinton was joined at the round-table discussion by retiring New York City police commissioner Bill Bratton, who said earlier this month in an interview with CBS News that Trump’s “shoot from the hip” style and “lack of depth” on police issues scared him.\n\nAides said Clinton’s meeting had been planned for several weeks and was building upon her outreach to law enforcement during the campaign and following up on law enforcement officials who spoke at the party’s summer convention, including Ramsey."

"F or many enthusiasts, the ultimate goal is to one day own a Porsche. Only an air-cooled example will do for some, while for the rest of us, any car bearing the Stuttgart crest would be welcome. But for a growing number of true connoisseurs of the brand, acquiring a 911 merely represents the rocket launch—achieving orbit means opening up entirely new worlds of collecting, like the following examples:\n\nTrue Porschephiles seek out the brand’s limited-edition variants. Instead of a base-model Carrera, they opt for the Carrera RS, considered by collectors to be the purest form of 911. With a potent 3.6-liter engine and original black-over-purple color scheme, this 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS embodies the brand’s unique blend of thoughtful engineering and bold personalization options. Relative to other manufacturers, Porsche realized very early that their customers did not want to be limited in their selection of exterior paint colors or interior trim options and opened an unofficial “Porsche Special Wishes” department to satisfy them. Now an official division known as Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, any car which can trace its lineage back to this department, has received a personal touch; and is all the more valuable for it.\n\nSometimes, the boldest statement in terms of color is the choice of no color at all. The so-called “Triple Black” option, as seen on this 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupé, called for Code 700 (Black) paint over a black leather interior with a black headliner—a purposefully subtle choice that decreases the appearance of wear over the long term. And with 122,000 km showing on the odometer, it is clear this black-on-black Carrera was well-loved by its previous owner.\n\nLest one begins to believe the most important thing about the Porsche is its paint, the unique upgrades available were not limited to aesthetics alone. The 993-era RS shown earlier could trace its lineage back two decades, to performance-oriented examples like this 1975 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupé, of which only 395 were produced for the American market. Owned from new by a U.S. Marine officer, this U.S.-spec Carrera more closely resembled the more-potent variants offered outside of America. Lowered to European ride height, and fitted with European H1 quad-bulb headlamps, upgraded chain tensioners, new shock absorbers, suspension bushings, and alternator, this Porsche has been not only personalized but properly tuned and timed on a dynameter as well.\n\nWhile Porsche’s motorsport division is renowned for its engineering acumen, they weren’t the only avenue for personalized performance. This 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo ‘Group B’ benefited from an upgraded 935-type adjustable boost control with a larger intercooler, oil cooler, and turbocharger – all installed to factory ‘Group B’-spec by Porsche’s Swedish importer. Due to the extensive modifications required, this kit could only be installed by the Porsche factory or VAG-owned importers, making this example even more desirable than a typical Turbo.\n\nBut even an exceptionally rare 930 variant pales in comparison to a factory prototype. This lucky 1969 Porsche 911 S 2.2 Coupé Prototype, was picked by Porsche’s testing division, pulled from production, and factory-equipped with an early development 2.2-liter Type 911/02 engine. Porsche studied this example at their facilities in Germany to test compatibility between the all-new engine and their existing five-speed transaxle. After testing, the prototype’s first owner was Porsche Cars North America, where it was equipped with U.S.-specification lights and instruments and passed into private ownership.\n\nWhile it is easy to recognize why this rare prototype—only the 12th built; a real piece of Porsche history—deserved to be preserved, it is quite another thing to properly appreciate it. Recently benefiting from a full bare-metal, rotisserie restoration, including a chassis, suspension, and engine rebuild in Holland by marque specialist DUEL Motorsports/Dutch Engine Laboratories, this prototype Porsche has been properly treated by its current consignor and is now ready to be thoroughly enjoyed by its next owner.",

"Mazemore, a 1930s bungalow on Torquay Road, similar to many other houses in Foxrock during the boom became a magnet for developers who were drawn to properties on large plots, considering them ripe for redevelopment in the sought-after upmarket suburb.\n\nMazemore became part of the Stokes family property portfolio and its vast garden was soon divided in two, creating a site to the rear while the bungalow, its red tiled roof glimpsed only from the road behind mature hedging, was renovated and extended.\n\nBy the time the current owners bought the dormer bungalow in 2015 (for €958,250 according to the Property Price Register) it was a receiver’s sale and the house, which had not been lived in for some time, required work.\n\nThe boom-time makeover, however, had been a quality one. So while the floors throughout needed to be returned to their best, they were solid smoked oak, the mosaic-tiled family bathroom just needed a clean up. The windows and new interior doors as well as the dramatic floor-to-ceiling wall width concertina patio doors in the kitchen were in perfect condition.\n\nThe four-bed 205sq m (2,205sq ft) family home required a rethink in terms of its interiors – its minimalist look, say its current owners, needed to be “warmed up”. They have done a very smart job, with details such as extensive use of panelling the hall and front reception room, warmer colours throughout, and reworking the open-plan rear extension so that the areas are more defined, with the kitchen and dining area opening into a seating area with custom-built shelving as a focal point.\n\nAlso in this rear extension is a room, probably intended as a library, but now used as a playroom. As it opens via double doors to the back garden it would also work well as an attractive home office.\n\nOn this level too is a formal reception room with a bay window, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A large utility room, fully fitted with extensive storage, opens to the rear and off the kitchen. It has been updated with new doors, painted a soft grey/green and new integrated appliances. The large island unit is topped with polished stone.\n\nUpstairs there are two more bedrooms – the main one has a dressing room and a recently renovated en suite.\n\nConsiderable work has been done in the wide south-facing rear garden which was on different levels and so overgrown that when they moved in the children could hide in the long grass. Now a flagged patio runs across the rear and is level with the lawn, replaced with Astroturf which the owners have found to be a practical play surface for the children.\n\nThe garden wraps around to the side with one of the bedrooms opening out on to it. While Mazemore is very much a family home it might also suit well heeled downsizers with its downstairs bedrooms and bathroom and large living areas. There is parking to the front in the mature landscaped garden for two or three cars set behind electric gates\n\nMazemore is for sale through Hunters seeking €1.285 million.\n\nWho's that lady? The extraordinary life of the Marchioness of Dufferin\n10"

"“In every man, heredity and environment have combined to produce a creature of certain abilities and desires— including a deeply ingrained need to function in such a way that his life will be MEANINGFUL. A man has to BE something; he has to matter.”\n\nFor nearly two years, I’ve been wanting to tell this story. Something has held me back. Fear? Some degree of embarrassment, perhaps? Worried that the stigma associated with financial planning and wealth management would elicit eyerolls?\n\nFor most of my career, I have been chasing something. I think we all are. And even when I found it, I still didn’t honestly believe it. Could I really find my place and my people, working in wealth management? Would anyone else believe it if I told them? More eyerolls? It took me a minute. But once I believed it, then embraced it, I came to see that my story might help others to find their own greater happiness. In fact, I wanted *everyone* to find that same happiness. That’s when I knew I had to share my experience.\n\nFor 17 years I worked in equities trading. I would often refer to what I did, in a word, as “sales”. And it never made me particularly proud to say that at parties. Despite a lot more intricacy than the term might suggest, I never thought anyone outside of the industry would find that intricacy particularly compelling. “Sales” became an easy way to perfunctorily answer the question while allowing the conversation to move towards other, more interesting topics.\n\nIn the early days, the work came down almost exclusively to how much of a good time you could show your clients: elaborate steak dinners, taking clients on ski trips or to the Super Bowl or the best concerts in town. And for those that wanted to “get ahead”, there were always opportunities to push the envelope into more provocative (or illegal) activities, as well.\n\nThe business was competitive, but it didn’t take a big brain to be successful. It often came down to who was the wildest. Or who joyfully (and drunkenly) made the biggest fool of themselves. I appreciated the fast-paced nature of the work, the camaraderie, the pressure of having so much money on the line every day. And yet, I recognized that I wouldn’t ever be the craziest guy on Wall Street. I would never separate myself by doing the wildest thing that made everybody laugh, cringe, or maybe both. And most importantly, I needed to be myself; I couldn’t pretend to be someone else, just to earn more business or make more money.\n\nAs I searched for my place in this bizarre world, I soon found an opening. Luckily, I had great guidance from a few smart and thoughtful mentors. The industry was evolving rapidly, and these mentors showed me a different way to stand out, a way to solve problems by using creativity and intelligence. I could separate myself by doing what I did best – connecting with people. I wouldn’t compete on wild. I would compete on brains, responsiveness, and authenticity.\n\nAs our business changed, so did the people who ran it. People who excelled with jokes and drugs and entertainment — but no substance – were losing relevance. Computers began replacing humans. The nerds began winning. Wisdom trumped wild. More and more people, who had once made tons of money and had built themselves a high-roller lifestyle, were being fired — or “repriced.”\n\nMany found a second home in wealth management. Having spent their careers following and trading stocks, managing people’s money seemed like a natural pivot. I remember being wary of these guys, nervous that they’d be trying to sell me something or turn me into a client of theirs, just because I knew them from their previous life. I knew how most of those firms did it – the first 100 days was “make a list of everyone you know and try to get them to be a client”. Ewww. No, thank you.\n\nYet there was also something I found appealing about it. I loved the idea of helping actual people, not just big corporations. It drew me in on a personal level. Growing up, I watched my parents struggle with their finances. Any conversation about money would quickly devolve into an argument that ultimately went nowhere. We spiraled into debt. I watched so many of my friends’ parents struggle, too. I wondered what they could’ve done if they had someone in their financial corner, helping them make hard decisions and have hard conversations. When I thought about a career in personal finance, those were the folks I wanted to help.\n\nBut my aversion to sales — and how people might react when they discovered what I did for a living –kept me away. It was one thing to be selling to clients in the equity trading world; they expected it, they even enjoyed it much of the time (See: elaborate steak dinners, concerts, Super Bowls, etc). But having to sell to the guy you meet on the first tee box? Or even worse – your friends and family?\n\nI worried that people would avoid me, like I had avoided others before, because they feared I’d always be trying to turn them into a client. I wouldn’t get the best from people, I wouldn’t get their authentic selves, because they would always be just a little wary of my friendship or my intentions. Maybe it would even change the way I saw the world — would everyone I met become a “target” in my mind? I was worried.\n\nI had expressed these reservations to my good friend, Brian. He was CEO of a wealth management company, and we had often danced with the idea of me joining him. He claimed that their approach was different, but all I really knew was that he was different. Brian wasn’t the “stereotypical” wealth-manager-guy. He truly cared about people and about forming connections. He was eminently trustworthy. I had known him half my life. As roommates in New York City in our mid-20’s, we shared a bathroom for two years — it doesn’t get much closer than that. But I assumed that he was the exception to the aggressive, over-promising, sales-driven culture that the wealth management industry had the reputation for.\n\nBut then, a funny thing happened: Brian was deciding to start his own company, just as I was coming to a crossroads in my own career. We talked about what this company would look like, how it would be managed, what its values would be. It finally began to click. I had seen enough examples of great leaders and bad leaders in my time that I knew what I would do if I had the chance to start from scratch. I knew the kind of culture I wanted to build and be a part of. We shared a vision for not just a company that would be good at what it did, but a company that could change the industry – by empowering people, by helping anyone who wanted it, and by eliminating “sales” from the mindset.\n\nI came to see tremendous alignment, both in what we wanted from a business, but also what we wanted out of life. We would use our knowledge and skills to help people. Help them gain confidence and control in their financial lives. Help them remove the pressure and the overhang and the guilt, and all the other negative associations that people often have with money. Help them eliminate fear and uncertainty. Help them have hard but necessary conversations and come out the better for it. Help people achieve their full potential — through education, encouragement, and empowerment. If we did it this way, we wouldn’t have to “sell” anything. Because isn’t that really what we all want?\n\nTwo years later, here I am, loving the business I was once intrigued by and afraid of. I don’t ever want to do anything different. This small but mighty team is building a company I couldn’t be prouder of. The most amazing humans work here. I know it sounds corny, but I don’t care — we are a family, and I feel lucky to be a part of it. We practice daily gratitude, we celebrate breakthroughs and hugs, and we lift each other up when we need it. We “enter the danger”, committing to vulnerability and honesty as a path for building up stronger and truer. We bring our authentic selves to our work and our clients, every day. We’re all nerds about personal finance. We focus on solving problems and empowering people. We treat everyone with respect. We are fortunate to work with some incredible clients, whom we value as people and are also lucky to call friends. And we especially love the exponential power of bringing us all together, team and clients alike…the power of creating a community and enjoying what magic springs forth from the connections that are made!\n\nI feel so fortunate to be part of something much greater than just another “me too” company. And this is what I’ve been chasing, all along, I just didn’t know it. Until I finally caught on.",

"If you’ve been watching news headlines lately, you’ve probably heard about the New York shooting that left one dead and two others injured. There are also questions about the suspect’s social media posts, the weapons used, and how he managed to pull off such a mass shooting.",
null,
"A video of the New York shooting was widely shared on social media on Monday. Among other things, it shows how a shooter filmed his rampage during the incident, a barrage of bullets, and a passenger helping an injured one.\n\nThe footage was posted on Twitter on Monday, but the video did not appear on Facebook until Friday. While the company did not say what was causing the delays, it said that it is trying to remove content that does not meet its guidelines. It has enacted a policy that will cover footage of “violent attacks,” including the mass shooting, with a warning that it may contain “sensitive material.”\n\nFacebook is also working to remove links to streaming sites. The site has teams working around the clock to clear out accounts and videos associated with the attack. However, it has not responded to questions about how it will handle the Buffalo shooting video, which circulated on Sunday.\n\nIt’s difficult to determine what the suspect in the Brooklyn subway shooting had to say in his social media videos. But there is one video that seems to show him referencing Meghan Markle.\n\nA spokesman for the New York Attorney General says her office will look into the suspect’s extremist online content. James’ YouTube channel focuses on race and “civil war” issues. He has posted dozens of hateful videos.\n\nThe suspect was dressed in a hooded gray sweatshirt, orange and green construction vest and a work helmet. Police sources told USA TODAY that the suspect left behind a hatchet and a U-Haul van key. In addition, a gun store owner said he ran the suspect’s name through the background check system.\n\nIn an online diatribe attributed to Gendron, the suspect said he was planning to bring three types of guns. This included an AR-15, a shotgun and a rifle.\n\nInvestigators say the suspect was wearing a gas mask and a work helmet. He had a firearm in his car. During the attack, the suspect set off smoke canisters and fired 33 times with a Glock 17 9mm semi-handgun.\n\nWeapons used in the shooting\n\nAs New Yorkers begin to recover from the aftermath of the massacre, law enforcement officials are still investigating what weapons were used. At least thirteen guns were recovered from the scene. Whether all of the guns are legal is yet to be determined.\n\nThe weapon used by the suspect is believed to be an AR-15, a semi-automatic rifle. This type of gun can only hold a maximum of seven rounds in the rifle at any one time. In addition, New York State has a strict assault weapons ban that requires that rifles have detachable magazines and cannot be designed to resemble military equipment.\n\nWhile the weapons were confiscated, no specific details about them were released. However, a law enforcement official did say that the shooter viewed YouTube videos that showed how to modify an AR-15 style rifle.\n\nAnother gun recovered at the scene was believed to be an AK-47 style rifle. This was a common weapon used in the First Baptist Church Massacre in Texas.\n\nPayton Gendron’s manifesto after the New York shooting has been described as a white supremacist document. The alleged writer has said he was motivated by the “Great Replacement” theory, a conspiracy theory which claims that demographic trends are eroding white populations.\n\nA federal official said that Gendron visited white supremacy websites several times. He had also been given a mental health evaluation.\n\nIn the document, Gendron wrote that he wanted to kill as many black people as possible. But he did not mention transgender people, LGB people or feminism. Instead, he named-checked other white supremacists.\n\nSome of the material in the document appears to have been plagiarized. For example, there were sections on motivation, attack plans and attack gear. However, the majority of the document is written in antisemitic language.\n\nThere were multiple references to the Great Replacement theory, which is gaining popularity among white Americans. The theory states that minorities are taking over the country and will eventually overwhelm the white population.\n\nMike Brito, a Legendary Dodgers International Scout, Has Passed Away\n\nCooper Raiff (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl)"

"Utah Jazz Forward Josh Howard will miss the remained of the season after an MRI identified a chip in his femoral cartilage. This is sad news because you do not want to see a player go down with an injury -- but the silver lining suggests that this is not the worst news ever. Howard is going to still be able to walk, he'll be repaired and still be able to find work playing basketball after rehab. This is not a career ender. Second, he was having a bad season - no matter how much you may over-value rebounding from the SF spot when you already have Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Enes Kanter, and Derrick Favors on the team. I'll go into the stats a little bit later. Third, this makes playing the 'better players' easier for Head Coach Tyrone Corbin. The 'better players' are also the younger players, and politically, this makes life so much easier for Ty.",
null,
"This is not the exact injury, however it is a good place to start to see the difference in a healthy cart, and one that has some tears in it. There are a number of things you can do about this; but because this is a basketball board let me get to the chase and say that he'll be healthy enough to fight for a contract by the time next year rolls around. This isn't going to take food off his table. He's still going to get paid all $2.15 million the Jazz \"owe\" him this year for his 8.7 ppg (39.7 fg%), and 3.7 rpg, while getting a 10.5 PER rating and letting his man own him in opponents points per possessions (#256 in the league).\n\nWhat he brought to the table:\n\nHe was a veteran who came to Utah to play with his buddy Devin Harris so he could resurrect his career and get another contract out of it, most likely on another team. He's still going to achieve that. But this is not a huge blow to the team. He wasn't the glue guy that made everything work. He's the guy who broke plays, didn't pass the ball to a PG, hogged the ball on fast breaks, and took a lot of bad shots. He did have that ONE block on LeBron James in the Miami game -- but people forget that in that same game his man SCORED ON HIM 8 out of 15 times. And he shot like 11% in that game.\n\nBut people are allowed to remember things in the way that makes them most happy. This season he was averaging near career lows per 36 mins, and his advanced stats were deplorable. He wasn't a team player, or held some esoteric wisdom that made him a better player. He had the second worst AST% of his career this year. We couldn't even move him at the deadline despite showcasing him for months.\n\nIf you watched him play, he played poorly. If you look at the stats, he played poorly. The only place where he seems to have been a success is in the hearts of our front office, and in the words of the state-sponsored media they control.\n\nAnd he played 959 minutes this year. He's not in our future. He wasn't playing well. And he took minutes away from guys who were both playing well and part of our future. This was like sitting guys like Brewer and CJ for Derek Fisher again. A one and done who we only ended up renting. Glad to know we love to make the same mistakes over and over again. At least 300 of those wing minutes should have gone to Alec \"The Leper\" Burks. Instead, he's 300 real, never recoverable, actual NBA minutes behind where he actually SHOULD be this year.\n\nBut hey, he was \"cheap\" (cost nearly as much as Gordon Hayward, and more than guys like Earl Watson), he was a vet (who never passed to played team ball, even fundamental things like passing on fast breaks), and he had the right attitude (at least he never swore at our head coach?).\n\nThank you Josh Howard for your invaluable service to the Utah Jazz this season. We hope you get well as soon as possible (and you will, this isn't a big injured), and wish you all the best for the rest of your NBA career."

"Home / News / This Scandinavian smartphone can see in the dark",

"The LG G5 is rocking one. So’s Huawei’s P9, and it’s looking like Apple’s got one ready for the iPhone 7. Dual cameras for smartphones are here to stay.\n\nNo-one’s really doing anything crazy with ’em though – until now. Scandinavian design house Lumigon has given its newly revealed T3 a night vision upgrade.\n\nThis is no filter fakery; the T3 has an honest to goodness night vision camera sensor that can properly see in the dark. It sits alongside a 13MP rear cam with phase-detect AF that’s good for 4K video, as well as 120fps slow motion.\n\nThat would be cool enough, but the rest of the phone doesn’t look half-bad either. Built from a mix of glass and stainless steel, and the option to splash serious cash on 24-karat gold or diamond-encrusted finishes, you’ll definitely stand out from the crowd of Samsungs and iPhones on your morning commute.\n\nIt ticks all the boxes when it comes to performance, with a snappy 8-core CPU and 3GB of RAM running Android 6 Marshmallow.\n\nLumigon has made a few tweaks to Google’s OS, adding an IR blaster and app for controlling your home cinema setup, and a password-protected Vault to keep your private stuff… well, private.\n\nThere’s a fingerprint sensor on the front, and a unique \"BackTouch\" scrolling touchpad on the back for swiping and scrolling through web pages. Oh, and it’s got a whopping 128GB of internal storage. Good luck filling that up in a hurry.\n\nThe 4.8in screen up front might only have a 1280×720 resolution, but it’s packing AMOLED display tech for inky blacks and vibrant colours. A double-tap will wake it from sleep, too. Neat.\n\nIf you’re after a smartphone good enough for a Navy Seal on night maneuvres, you can pick up a T3 from the Lumigon website right now, but be prepared to shell out US$925 for the basic model. Want to go gold? That’ll set you back a lot more cash."

"\"Poverty is ultimately a political choice, and governments can, if they wish, opt to overcome it,\" said Philip Alston, the former United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.\n\nHe was speaking in February 2020, following a fact-finding mission to Spain during which Alston said he was shocked at the level and scale of poverty in certain parts of the country.\n\nA recurring theme was that certain communities were being abandoned by the state.\n\nThe 294 COVID-19 vaccines being developed\n\nA new temperature record for Europe?\n\nMany of the public services that those communities relied on were slashed during the 2008 economic crisis. However, as the Spanish economy slowly recovered, many of those public services weren't restored.\n\nBy 2019, official figures showed more than one in four people in Spain were at risk of poverty or social exclusion, one of the highest rates in Europe. And then came the pandemic. What was already a serious issue became even more critical thanks to the financial impact of COVID-19.\n\nA study on living conditions published in July 2021 found that 7 percent of Spaniards were suffering from severe poverty or material deprivation, a year on from the outbreak of the pandemic. That's the highest figure seen since the worst days of the 2008 financial crisis.",

We must promote employment and relocate these families into better areas for their kids to grow up.\"",

"A young family in their home in Cañada Real. /CGTN\n\nA young family in their home in Cañada Real. /CGTN\n\nThe polarized nature of Spanish politics has meant any attempt to improve the social assistance system has been bogged down by political infighting.\n\nThe current socialist government of Pedro Sanchez has tried to implement some reforms. Its furlough scheme has paid out more than $48 billion to those made jobless during the pandemic.\n\nAlso in June 2020, the government introduced a national minimum income scheme. The measure was designed to help the 2.3 million poorest in the country by ensuring a household income ranging from $512 to $1125 a month, even if claimants were not working.\n\nBut with the administration overrun with claims, it has often taken months for the payouts to materialise. And it's forced many to rely on food banks or 'hunger queues,' especially workers in the sectors hit hardest by the pandemic like hospitality or construction.\n\nIn May 2020, CGTN Europe met 38-year-old Roberto Sotelo from Madrid in one such queue. The construction worker was laid off during lockdown and has struggled to provide for his family ever since.\n\nSpeaking as he lined up at a food bank, he told CGTN Europe: \"I have no resources right now. I am looking for help everywhere, for people to help me. If I don't get that support, I don't know how I'm going to make it to the end of the month. It's almost impossible.\"\n\nThe fact that these hunger queues are now such common sight in a country that boasts Europe's fourth-largest economy should – in Alston's words – \"force Spain to take a close look at itself in the mirror.\""

"I realized that I haven’t been writing nearly enough about my summer CSA and I need to immediately change that. My kitchen has been overflowing with ripe, local, and absolutely delicious produce all summer long, and it’s been glorious. I think it’s about time I share some more recipes with you! You might remember the kohlrabi and summer squash fritters I made at the start of the summer, which included some main ingredients from my CSA. But I’ve been chopping and cooking so much more than that – I unfortunately just haven’t been the best at documenting the process with pictures! This week I vowed to change that, especially now that we’re starting to receive mouthwatering, sweet heirloom tomatoes in the crop.",

"I think tomatoes can sometimes get a bad rap – and you know what – sadly sometimes they deserve it. The tasteless, watery, mushy tomatoes you get from the grocery store are the absolute worst, especially out of season. But they’re so red! They’re on the vine! They look so plump and delicious – how could they be bad? What a lot of people don’t know is that although these tomatoes come to the store on the vine, most likely they were picked way before they were actually ripe, sprayed with chemicals to make them appear red, then transported thousands of miles to arrive at your local grocery superstore. It is such a shame! If you’ve tasted a vine-ripened, locally grown tomato you will absolutely know the difference, and you will never be able to go back to the flavorless mush.",

"Lucky for us, tomatoes are at their prime! Farmers markets are exploding with a gorgeous tomato crop this year, and I’ve been taking full advantage of it. Now is the time to head to your local farmers market and stock up on those real, vine-ripened tomatoes. Your tastebuds will absolutely thank you.",
null,
"Note: Do you still want tasty tomatoes year round? It’s time to start canning! Tomatoes are actually in season for only a few short months, but you can keep the flavor year round by canning and preserving them. Canning is super simple and is a fun activity to do with your family. (Not to mention canned fruit and vegetables make for wonderful gifts during the holiday season! If you don’t have the time (or desire) to can at home, many local farms actually can a lot of their leftover harvests, and you can stock up on them at farmers markets.\n\nFor the vinaigrette: Whisk all of the ingredients together. Add more salt and pepper if needed.\n\nFor the salad: Heat the olive oil in a large sauté. Add the bread and salt and cook over low to medium heat, tossing frequently, for about 10 minutes or until toasted and brown. Add more oil if needed. Remove from heat and set aside.\n\nIn a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, red onion, basil, capers, olives and Bocconcini. Add the bread cubes and toss with the vinaigrette. Season liberally with salt and pepper, and more pepper flakes if desired. Allow to sit for about a half hour for the flavors to blend. Salad is best eaten day of.\n\nOne thought on “Panzanella Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes and Bocconcini”"

"Pastries, bicycles may be keys to ‘hygge’\n\nPastries, bicycles may be keys to ‘hygge’",

"The first few days of the Baltic trip from which I recently returned with my wife, Leslie, were spent in Copenhagen. It’s a lovely city and capital of a country where the people are named for a their remarkable bakery products and have been described as the happiest people on the planet.\n\nIt goes well beyond good pastries and to a feeling they call “hygge” which is pronounced “hooga.”\n\nAccording to our guide, even the Danes don’t really know what it is, but apparently it’s a “coziness” that allows them to accept the cold, damp and dark conditions in which they exist for much of the year.\n\nThe Danes introduced us to the fact that trying to pronounce any of the assorted Scandinavian languages we’d encounter during our trip would be nearly as impossible as deciphering the Cyrillic script we faced in Russia. It really wasn’t a problem because the Scandinavian countries made up for it with lots of English-speaking people, while in Russia the solution was simple – they prefer (if not insist) you stick with your English speaking guides.\n\nBefore I leave Copenhagen, let me mention that Copenhagenites (or Copenhagers or whatever they are called) love bicycles almost as much as their remarkable sweet rolls. You are 10 times more likely to be hit by a bike than a car and most likely multiple bikes in the same accident. They travel in packs and occasionally offer a polite ring when approaching.\n\nOne more highlight was the entertaining Rosenborg Castle, complete with a stunning moat that served as King Christian IV’s personal sewage disposal pond for his ornately tiled bathroom. Referred to as “The Secret,” the room came complete with a cistern for flushing which made it an impressive piece of plumbing for the 17th century.\n\nApparently, Christian also had an odd sense of humor because his “Dark Room” had an armchair that was constructed with concealed arm restraints. The strapped person would then be soaked with water that ran in pipes from the back to the seat of the chair. When finally released, and the person stood up, a horn concealed in the seat would toot.\n\nWorld leaders just don’t know how to have fun these days.\n\nThe trip also included stops in the former Soviet Union states of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. Our tour guide through the fairy tale surroundings of Tallinn best summed up the Estonian people’s ability to withstand repeated occupations involving mostly the Germans and Soviets with a generally positive point of view — it could be worse. But it’s hard to think that after visiting its Museum of Occupation.\n\nA visit inside an abandoned Soviet nuclear ballistic site in Lithuania also got my attention and had me scratching my head, wondering how huddling under a desk in grade school was ever going to save me. The missile silo was empty, but it was a mighty big silo!\n\nThat same thought crossed my mind a few days earlier when the Russian army paraded an arsenal of weapons down the main street in front of me in St. Petersburg. It was practicing for the next day’s observance of the Soviet Union’s victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War (World War II).\n\nWe had just returned from a one-day trip to Moscow, where the same preparations were underway. It kind of had me longing for our parades -- the ones with the tractors, homemade floats, antique cars and Santa Claus.\n\nNear the end of the trip we visited perhaps the most impressive museum I’ve ever seen. In a structure built only for it sits the 17th century Swedish warship Vasa in all its glory, or embarrassment if you consider that on Aug. 10, 1628 it capsized and sank untouched before it even had a chance to leave Stockholm’s harbor.\n\nHere in Door County we are familiar with some amazing underwater reclamation efforts, whether it’s Capt. John Roen’s remarkable recovery of the 600-foot George M. Humphrey from the Straight of Mackinac in 1943 or Frank Hoffman bringing up the schooner Alvin Clark in the 1960s after a century in 100 feet of water near Chambers Island.\n\nBut Vasa, considered one of the most formidable warships of its time, was a marvel and still today, more than 50 years after it was salvaged, it is providing clues to what life was like in early 17th-century Sweden.\n\nMost impressive of all are the true-to-life re-creations based on the skeletal remains of the sailors who died that day. You can look at a lifelike Fillip in the eye and read the story of how he likely refused to give up the helm, having been found there just a short distance to a ladder and safety. One exhibit is as interesting as the next.\n\nIt nearly prevented me from at least stopping by for a quick look at another must-see on my Stockholm list — the Abba Museum.\n\nWhat can I say? I’m a man of many tastes.\n\nJon Gast writes a column every other week for Your Key to the Door Weekly. Contact him at [email protected]."

A lot of them said they didn't expect this team to get this far, and it felt great to watch them compete in October.",

"Iraq’s supreme court Monday ordered the suspension of a September 25 referendum on the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan, as legal and political pressure mounted on the Kurds to call off the vote.\n\nWith just a week left before polling, the court said it “has issued the order to suspend organising the referendum set for September 25… until it examines the complaints it has received over this plebiscite being unconstitutional”.\n\nCourt spokesman Ayas al-Samouk told AFP it had “received several complaints”, as a parliamentary source said at least eight lawmakers had called on the court to intervene on constitutional grounds.\n\nPrime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s office said it had also filed a complaint against the referendum in the oil-rich autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq on constitutional grounds.\n\nThere was no immediate reaction from Iraqi Kurdish leader Massud Barzani, who called the referendum and has so far resisted pressure from Baghdad and Iraq’s neighbours Turkey and Iran, as well as from the United States and its Western allies, all of which oppose the poll.\n\nA Kurdish delegation is expected on Tuesday for talks in Baghdad, while Abadi has left for New York to attend the UN General Assembly.\n\nBritain’s Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said he would try to persuade Barzani at a meeting later Monday in the Kurdish capital of Arbil.\n\n“I will be this afternoon in Arbil to tell Massud Barzani that we do not support the Kurdish referendum,” he said at a press conference in Baghdad.",

"“We are committed to the integrity of Iraq. We are working with the UN on alternatives to this referendum,” he said before leaving for the northern city.\n\nThe United States and other Western nations are backing a UN-supported “alternative” plan for immediate negotiations on future relations in exchange for dropping the referendum.\n\nWashington argues that the vote will weaken Arab-Kurdish joint military operations that have helped to send Islamic State jihadists into retreat in both Iraq and war-torn Syria.\n\nBarzani has said a “yes” vote would not trigger an immediate declaration of independence, but rather kick-start “serious discussions” with Baghdad.\n\nHe has mustered huge popular support for the vote, with the streets of Arbil festooned with red, white and green Kurdish flags and large crowds holding nightly rallies.\n\nThe non-Arab Kurds — more than 25 million people spread across Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria — have long sought a state of their own.\n\nAccording to analysts, Barzani is using the referendum as leverage in his Kurdish Regional Government’s (KRG) long-standing disputes with the federal authorities in Baghdad over territory and oil exports.\n\nThe KRG has already expanded the territory it effectively controls and its peshmerga security forces have seized areas outside its borders from IS.\n\nOil-rich Kirkuk province, disputed by Baghdad and Arbil, has voted to take part in the referendum in defiance of the federal authorities.\n\nThe government responded by sacking Kirkuk’s Kurdish governor, who has refused to leave his post. Rumours are rife that rival communities are stockpiling arms.\n\nTurkey, concerned that the referendum might stir separatist dreams among its own Kurds, has threatened Arbil with “a price” to pay if the vote goes ahead.\n\nThe KRG’s economy is heavily dependent on oil exports via a pipeline running through Turkey to the Mediterranean.\n\nIran, with a sizeable Kurdish minority of its own, warned Sunday that Iraqi Kurdish independence would mean an end to all border and security arrangements with the KRG."

"The Price of Freemium Games\n\nApps like League of Legends and Candy Crush Saga are part of the “freemium game model,” a business approach that is dominating the mobile game market. More astoundingly, in-app purchases make up roughly 70-80 percent of the annual $10 billion iOS revenue, says Harrison Jacobs, writer for the Business Insider.\n\nIt’s a wildly successful tactic, and is no doubt highly supported by game designers like Sean Plott. Plott told Business Insider that he believes the freemium method is the best approach to the multiplayer game platform since they offer the core product for free, while still leaving a chance for profit.\n\n“If developers don’t have a strong monetary incentive, it’s difficult for them to constantly improve the game experience,” Plott says. “With freemium games, players are continuously spending money on the game, as opposed to paying once and forgetting about it. Developers are then incentivized to put that stream of revenue back into the game to improve it.” Money makes the virtual world go round.\n\nLooking at their process, however, reveals a more sinister plan.\n\nWhile it’s a game developer’s job to make the game appealing, with the freemium model there’s another goal tacked onto it: make it as addicting as possible. Everything, from the bright colors to pleasing sounds, was designed not just to catch your attention, but to keep it longer. Have you ever felt that just when you were getting tired of playing, you’re awarded a trophy, a new bonus level appears or a must-have skin goes on limited edition?\n\nNo, that wasn’t a coincidence. These games operate on an algorithm of the average attention span, like a “timer.” When this timer comes close to the end, it activates another incentive to reel you back in. Once you are ensnared again, the timer resets. It was planned all along.\n\nSchemes like this play with your hypothalamus, the part of your brain that releases a feel-good chemical called dopamine, Psych Guides reveals. These tactics put this hormone into overdrive, leaving its user dependent on the next reward.\n\nA game that is raising some controversy in the mobile genre recently is Pokémon Masters, released on Aug. 29, 2019. For starters, the currency, “purple gems,” is separated into “paid” and “unpaid” gems. They also have “sync scouting,” which is a random loot box generator you can pay for with 300 gems. But, there’s a once-a-day special sync scout that is cheaper, costing 100 gems! The catch? They have to be “paid” gems. Users will have to spend $1.00 in real life if they choose to partake in this special “discount.”\n\nThe boldness of this game shocked many of its reviewers, such as Amber Neely, a writer for Apple Insider. “Perhaps one of the strangest things about Pokémon Masters is that they seem to be aware of how predatory their in-app purchase model is, and don’t try to hide the fact,” Neely says.\n\nIt’s one thing to use these methods on adults, but sneaking them into children’s games should be crossing a line. Especially when there is a whole category of games like Pokémon Masters, which has in-app purchases, and sell for as much as $79.99!\n\nWhy would game companies try this approach in the kids section? It doesn’t seem very profitable, right?\n\nGenerally, many industries prey on younger children because if they establish a connection early on, they would essentially be assuring their future revenue. By getting kids familiar with the in-app purchase layout, they’ll feel more inclined to buy in the future. Today’s children will turn into tomorrow’s reliable consumers.\n\nMany people get caught in this multi-billion dollar industry’s mobile spider web. The mobile game industry not only depends on it, but purposely crafts their apps to be as addicting as possible. The only way to not fall prey to these cheap traps is to become aware of them. Moderate your sessions to a certain time limit, and be strict with yourself when it runs out. Before you click “confirm,” take a second and think about whether you really need that skin for your Fortnite character. Question whenever the game tries to get you to believe anything is essential.\n\nRemember, you play the game. Don’t let the game play you.",

Sure, while RAM is expensive for you and me ($50 for 8GB), Sony/Microsoft can buy in bulk and get a cheaper price, like $20. That doesn't make much difference when selling the console for over $400.\n\nActually, they don't get such savings. \"Buying in bulk\" is a myth. If it costs us $50/8-GB, then adding that memory to the console will jack up its price by $50. At least.\n\nIn other words, within the margin of error, the price for a single DIMM on NewEgg roughly equals the bulk price on the spot market.\n\nWhy is that? It's because we've gone past the \"Industrial Age\" to the \"Information Age\" to the \"Supply Chain Age\". Every step in the supply chain has slashed margin prices and increased efficiencies to the point that buying single products is just as efficient as buying bulk products.\n\nOf course, if you go to your local BestBuy store, a single DIMM costs more than bulk DIMMs, but that's because \"local retail\" is a completely separate beast than online markets. Retail is an enormous drag on the tail of end of the hyperefficient supply chain that jacks up prices, which is why you should generally avoid it. So yea, you can find examples where there is a disparity between single-vs-bulk prices, but that's not relevant to the discussion.\n\nA somewhat more relevant discussion is the difference between the \"spot price\" and \"contract price\". When Microsoft builds an XBox, they contract with a couple DRAM manufacturers. They guarantee to buy a set amount of memory at a set price, in exchange for the supplier guaranteeing to sell Microsoft that quantity. They do this not to get a savings, but to reduce business risk by making the costs predictable. On one hand, if there is a factory fire and the DRAM spot price goes up, Microsoft's contract means it won't get charged more. On the other hand, if DRAM prices go down, Microsoft still has to pay the more expensive price. Looking at \"contract price\" on sites like http://www.dramexchange.com/ and http://www.insye.com/DP/DRAMSpotPrice.aspx, it appears contract prices are actually higher than spot prices -- at least as I write this. I don't know if that's always true.\n\nSo here's the deal. We've been indoctrinated by pushy advertising to believe \"deals\" are to had by buying in bulk, so it's a hard thing to develop skepticism to that idea. Yet, as the math in this post shows, buying in bulk really is a myth.\n\nTo preserve today's prices, I've got screenshots to show this. Below are the NewEgg and spot market prices that I captured right this second:",
null,
null,
"Update: On twitter, somebody has accused me of cherry picking this data. I didn't. I did my best to get averages. I googled \"DRAM spot price\" and got two different sources:\n* $3.14 at http://www.dramexchange.com/\n* $3.11 at http://www.insye.com/DP/DRAMSpotPrice.aspx\nI chose the lower of the two (i.e. the one that best disproved my theory).\n\nNewEgg is used all over the web as the standard measure of \"how much things cost\". I just grabbed a well-known brand, Kingston in this case, rather than an offbrand of dubious quality. Even the more expensive modules are only $55, again, very close to the bulk price."

"OYO, India’s largest hospitality company comprising mainly of budget hotels, today announced that it is raising 1 billion dollars while stating of expansion plans into China and other global areas. The value of the company, founded by 24 year old Ritesh Agarwal, now stands at 5 billion dollars. The investment has been raised from existing investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners.\n\nThe hospitality company said that investors are putting in 800 million dollars with a commitment of putting in a further 200 million dollars. About 600 million dollars of the total will be pushed into China where the company began operations a mere 10 months ago, says a report on the Indian Express. This announcement marks another milestone into the company’s expansion plans. Ritesh Agarwal had earlier announced in the first edition of OYO’s technology conference that they were looking to hire 2020 experts by the year 2020.\n\nThe company currently has 700 technology experts including engineers who have developed over 20 products in-house that helped more than 10,000 asset partners across the world. Ritesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of OYO said that they will continue to invest in technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and IoT. “Instead of chasing business opportunities, we focus on developing technologies that help further strengthen our company’s mission,” said Ritesh at the OYO Check In Conference.\n\nApart from this, OYO also plans to foray into the Britain’s budget accommodation market. OYO plans to sign up 300 independent hotels before 2020 in Britain, according to a report on Reuters. By 2020, OYO said it aimed to hire 100 staff in Britain and offer 5,000 hotel rooms, and make an investment worth 40 million pounds to set shop in 10 British cities.\n\nOYO was first launched as launched Oravel Stays, a website designed to enable listing and booking of budget accommodation, by Ritesh Agarwal when he was 18 years old. Shortly after launching Oravel Stays, Ritesh Agarwal received a grant of 100,000 dollars as part of the Thiel Fellowship from Peter Thiel. The company was changed from Oravel to OYO in 2013.\n\nWe Are Experimenting With Speech Recognition and Other AI Techniques: OYO\n\nIn an exclusive interaction with Dataquest, Anurag Gaggar, VP – Product, OYO talks about the OYO app,…"

"In March 2008, Amy Winehouse told her dad she wanted to have children. Given her drug abuse, he told her, this was both unlikely (she’d stopped menstruating) and unfair (her baby might be born addicted). It was the first time Mitch felt he’d broken through to his daughter, and believes it was “the beginning of the end of the drugs.” (He maintains Winehouse did kick narcotics, though not alcohol.)\n\nSo much about Winehouse was extreme—her talent, her style, her self-destructiveness—it is jarring to discover she had the most ordinary ambition of all: to be a mom. Even her father admits he was surprised. Early in the book, he describes Winehouse’s excitement at finding old photographs of herself and her brother, Alex, and remembers thinking his famous daughter was “just a normal girl who loves her family.” But this image is scarce. Mostly, Mitch’s account is one of chaos, a never-ending loop of withdrawal and relapse: Amy sobers up enough to perform brilliantly at a birthday concert for Nelson Mandela, then has heroin delivered to her hospital room the very next day; she swears off alcohol in the morning, then gets up in the night and polishes off a bottle of wine. It’s a story both dizzying and monotonous, much like that of any family dealing with addiction, save for the money and notoriety.\n\nStill, every so often, Mitch offers a glimpse of Winehouse’s creative genius. He points to a lyric in a song on her first record, Frank, that conjures a moment, years earlier, when Amy watched Mitch press all the buzzers at her grandmother’s apartment building. “Amy was one of life’s great observers,” he writes. The two shared many things—a love of jazz, a happy-go-lucky spirit, a sly sense of humour. Mitch laughed when Amy singled him out at a performance as she cheekily sang “My daddy thinks I’m fine” from her hit Rehab. He despaired at hearing the same line through an open window following her death in July 2011. “Amy’s everywhere I go,” he writes. “But she’s not here.”"

"(HealthDay News) — In what scientists say is a first, a robotic hand controlled by a patient’s own muscle and nerves appears to have restored complex hand function to a trio of amputees in Austria.\n\nThe three patients in question all suffered what’s known as a “brachial plexus injury” to the hand following either a car crash or a mountain-climbing accident.\n\nIn each case, neural connections were severed between the injured hand and a network of nerves in the neck that are crucial to hand and arm movement.\n\nHowever, the new high-tech “bionic” hand — outfitted with sensors that can respond to electrical impulses generated by a patient’s muscles — may have returned dexterity to the three patients, doctors say.\n\nAs reported Feb. 24 in The Lancet, all of the patients now have the ability to perform tasks that were previously impossible. Those tasks include pouring water from a jug, handling a key, cutting with a knife, undoing buttons, and picking up a ball, the research team said.\n\n“Existing surgical techniques for such injuries are crude and ineffective and result in poor hand function,” study author Oskar Aszmann, director of the Christian Doppler Laboratory for Restoration of Extremity Function at the Medical University of Vienna, noted in a journal news release.\n\n“The scientific advance here was that we were able to create and extract new neural signals via nerve transfers amplified by muscle transplantation. These signals were then decoded and translated into solid hand function,” he said.\n\nAccording to Aszmann’s team, the process first involved long, presurgical patient training that centered on learning how to control a “virtual” hand by means of mind-over-muscle movement.\n\nThis was followed by work with a hybrid prosthetic that was subsequently attached to the patient’s own damaged hand.\n\nAfter nine months, amputations of each patient’s damaged hand were conducted.\n\nThree months after that, each patient was outfitted with their own robotic hand, followed by more rehabilitation. The bionic hand works via sensors linked to a newly fashioned neural pathway, extracted from the patient’s own healthy muscle and nerve tissue, the researchers explained.\n\nSo far, the procedure has only been attempted in Vienna, Aszmann said. “However, there are no technical or surgical limitations that would prevent this procedure from being done in centers with similar expertise and resources,” he said.\n\nOne expert in the United States said the devices may not work for everyone, however.\n\n“Some patients have such extensive nerve damage that they are not candidates for these types of procedures,” said Dr. Steven Beldner, co-director of the Hand Surgery Center at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.\n\nStill, other patients may benefit, although the bionic hand cannot — at this point, anyway — match the real thing.\n\n“Bionic hands do not function as well as a normal hand, but are a vast improvement over current prosthesis,” Beldner said. But he added that the field of robotic hands “is rapidly evolving over the past 10 years due to new technology involving smaller processors and improved biocompatibility.”\n\nCopyright © 2015 HealthDay.

"Physicians Not Getting Full Benefits from EHR Systems",
null,
"However, while EHRs are now in use in most physicians’ offices, the vast majority of physicians are not getting the full benefits of their EHR systems, according to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).\n\nSurvey data were used to describe the extent to which EHR systems were being used by physicians and the report provides a snapshot of the interoperability of medical records. While the systems are now in place to allow the sharing of health information with other healthcare providers, there are still many barriers which are preventing data sharing and consequently, physicians and patients are not receiving the full benefit of EHRs.\n\nThe introduction of new standards to facilitate data sharing between different EHR systems should go some way toward improving interoperability, but progress is still painstakingly slow and the full benefits of EHRs are still not being attained. The goal may be a fully interoperable health system, but at present that seems a long way from becoming a reality."

"Famous for his realist portrayals of Russian provincial life, director Yuri Bykov has sparked outrage with his ultra-patriotic new TV series, Sleepers. Is this a case of irony gone wrong — or something more sinister?\n\nThe big joke — if it can indeed be called that — has backfired badly for director Yuri Bykov in his new, fast-paced spy thriller TV series Sleepers. A respected filmmaker known for his corruption exposés, Bykov now seems to be trying to earn a living by creating something in line with Kremlin rhetoric, while covering his back by mocking the whole endeavour in the process. Though Sleepers is full of patriotic flag-waving and fear-mongering, it also contains self-aware nods to its own absurdity that are clearly aimed at Moscow’s intelligentsia circles. But Bykov’s peers didn’t find it funny. Their reaction, mainly one of fury, has been all the more bitter because the final product so brazenly insults them.\n\nThe eight-part drama shows how Russia’s intelligence services foil a Western plot to destabilise the country — a long-held Kremlin concern. The premise is Russia signing a secret gas contract with China that will bring untold prosperity. In response, the CIA activates “sleeper cells,” a fifth column whose ranks include journalists and human rights advocates, and sends a “specialist in velvet revolutions” to Moscow to lead the operation. In rapid succession, the American agents organise a terrorist attack, murder their stooges and bomb civilians. The show’s knight in shining armour is Andrei Rodionov, a colonel in the KGB-successor Federal Security Service (FSB) and an obvious stand-in for KGB alumnus President Vladimir Putin, whose portrait presides, icon-like, over several scenes.",

"So far, so unsurprising. But Bykov’s involvement in such a project sent shockwaves through Russia’s liberal intelligentsia. The director’s acclaimed previous films, including The Major and The Fool, were bleak portrayals of official corruption and popular despair in the provinces that were barely shown in Russian cinemas. Bykov, 36, had been held up as a beacon of moral gravitas and artistic integrity who spoke truth to power. Even more surprising was what happened next: Bykov repented. On October 13, after spending several days promoting the show, Bykov wrote on his VKontake page that he had “betrayed the entire progressive generation that wanted to change something in this country.” He promised to “vanish for a long time,” though he said he would first finish his upcoming film Factory.\n\nAt a time of high anxiety in Moscow’s creative classes following the recent arrest of Gogol Centre director Kirill Serebrennikov, Sleepers touched a nerve. Journalist Oleg Kashin called it “the fears and illusions of the Kremlin on film.” Bykov, who had attended a protest at Serebrennikov’s court hearing, was accused by some commentators of having sold his soul. On news website gazeta.ru, Anastasia Mironova compared him to the Soviet hack writer Alexander Fadeyev, an apologist for Stalin who killed himself in 1954.\n\nThe show’s anti-Americanism is in-your-face, outdoing even Hollywood’s vodka-swilling Russian bad guys in its stereotyped xenophobia\n\nRussia’s intelligentsia was entirely correct to perceive it as a personal insult. The show’s screenplay was written by Sergei Minaev, a Putin supporter known to enjoy taunting liberals. With juvenile glee, it gives the finger to the sacred touchstones of liberal memory: the terror of 1937, invoked by a snot-nosed blogger; the Bolotnaya protests, depicted in a demonstration organised by U.S. intelligence; the anti-corruption campaigner Alexey Navalny, who serves as the prototype for a self-aggrandising lawyer; and, most egregiously, murdered journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who is referenced in the form of a bitchy investigative journalist whose throat is cut by a sleeper.\n\nThe root of all evil, then and now, is the United States. The show’s anti-Americanism is in-your-face, outdoing even Hollywood’s vodka-swilling Russian bad guys in its stereotyped xenophobia. It also rivals Hollywood in its lack of attention to the language of the other side: Americans speak in British and Russian accents, and the chilling effect of a text message in the film’s finale, which reads “Kiev. Tomorrow” is marred slightly by the phone’s notification for a “new massage”. American diplomats plot dastardly deeds at fancy receptions; traitorous Russian journalists and bloggers eat hamburgers and fries beneath the stars and stripes.",

"Sleepers is not necessarily a departure from Bykov’s previous work; anti-corruption is politically amorphous, and Bykov has been claimed as a hero by liberals and conservative nationalists alike. By reading the show as either a soulless apologia or a brave act of patriotism, both sides of the debate over Sleepers overlook the irony at its heart. The show’s inversions of reality are so grotesque that they leave no doubt its creators are in on the joke. In the universe of Sleepers, it’s the journalists and bloggers who are spectacularly rich, all-powerful, and corrupt, not the bureaucrats. The reporter Zhuravlyov lives in a gated community outside the city and cruises around town in a black BMW, both of which are associated with highly-placed politicians and their associates. Bykov himself plays a terrorist who plants a bomb in the middle of a Bolotnaya-style demonstration. The tone of winking irony reaches its peak when hero Rodionov attends an art exhibition. He stands in front of a massive painting by contemporary artists Alexander Vinogradov and Vladimir Dubosarsky, who are known for their postmodernist mockery of Stalinist aesthetics.\n\nThe show, which aired on state-owned Channel One earlier this month, is intended for a broad audience across Russia, but the knowing looks are exclusively for urban intelligentsia types. Perhaps the key message for these viewers is found in a scene between Zhuravlyov and his lover, a TV news host, whom he instructs on how to make it in Moscow. “The main thing you need to learn how to do is to compromise,” he says.\n\nWhile the show pretends to condemn the notion of conflicting loyalties, the real compromises are happening in the lives of its creators, who jet back and forth between Moscow and European capitals but mock the West, who denounce the Ukrainian revolution on Maidan but support Serebrennikov. They have surrendered to churning out state messages for a living, but hope that by recognising the disjuncture they will preserve their souls.\n\nMinaev, for one, spends a lot of time in European countries — a preference clearly visible on his Instagram account. Bykov has always wavered between patriotic declarations, winking irony and moralistic sermons in his public statements. But he may have to call time on this after the reception that Sleepers has received. With his online repentance, Bykov revealed that he is tired of the game, though whether he will really retire remains to be seen.",

"A still from Yuri Bykov's 2010 debut film To Live\n\nA trailer for Yuri Bykov's 2014 film The Fool\n\nA trailer for Yuri Bykov's 2013 film The Major\n\nPerhaps Bykov should have taken more inspiration from the Brezhnev era, which showed it is possible to produce a state-backed espionage TV series that is both successful and artistically interesting. The beloved 1972 Seventeen Moments of Spring follows a Soviet spy embedded with the Nazis in the final months of World War II. It, too, features unlikely inversions, but they are self-reflective. If in Sleepers, the journalists have all the attributes of bureaucratic fat cats, in Seventeen Moments of Spring (as film critic and academic Mark Lipovetsky has observed), the Nazis wear clothes and work in offices reminiscent of those from the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Whilst depicting a war against an unquestionable evil, the show raised subtle questions about the nature of “good”.\n\nIn contrast, Sleepers wraps jingoistic truisms in a glossy James Bond package and has a void at its centre. Its heroes, like its traitors, wear expensive suits, live in sleek apartments and drive nice cars. The motherland they are fighting for exists somewhere beyond the frame, but what it represents is unclear. Bykov and Minaev’s vision of Russia feels as empty as Rodionov’s apartment, which he hasn’t furnished because he is too busy fighting the fifth column.\n\nMinaev has already announced Sleepers will have a second season. In one scene, there is a telling exchange between an agent and the terrorist played by Bykov. “Do you really believe in all this?” she asks him. “It’s the best there is,” he replies."

All things considered I think this is driving both sides of the aisle NUTS!! (No pun intended)\n\nNeedless to say, whether you want to pay for a premium subscription or have the bare minimum, to get all the Allen West, Michelle Fields and John Phillips you could ask for, all you have to do is go to Next Generation TV and decide what package is best for you. You can also just simply subscribe to the E-Newsletter that will be free and brought to you by our favorite former Congressman, Allen West.\n\nI thought of some of the many things that this show will provide besides being able to see Allen West daily. The first being, his voice is resounding across the nation in more ways than one. Not only will he escalate the viewership at PJTV, he will also bring an even broader audience then they have seen before. It also merges him with the Great Bill Whittle and the always spot on Alfonzo Rachel. Who could ask for better than these three devoted patriots for America all in one location? I know I couldn’t! Besides, doesn’t the lamestream media have enough schmoozing to do these days?\n\nAllen West, Michelle Fields and John Phillips are unbridled in their opinions and they are offering us brass tax, open honesty and their opinions are normally in lock step with most of the conservatives in this nation. Do yourself a favor, check out the sneak previews they are offering until February and make a decision to sign up and be front and center when they launch. I for one am looking forward to it and I sure hope you are too. – Tanya\n\nHere are some of the MANY articles I have found on the internet so far to date on Next Generation TV :\n\nAllen West on the Next Generation – Western Journalism\n\nAllen West Has A New Job in Conservative Media – TampaBay.com\n\nThe Democratic Party opposed President Lincoln and just about every other civil rights advance in the United States.

"Well, well, well, elections actually do have consequences, don’t they? Millions of Americans are indeed suffering the real consequences of the Republican Party’s mealy-mouthed, yellow-streaked performance during campaign ’08.\n\nOh sure, both the Democrats and the willfully myopic media are most to blame for the Obama presidency, but it is high time that the Republican Party hotshots do a little introspecting of their own.\n\nHow is it that the American electorate knew so little about Barack Obama that they could stay stoned on hope-dope all the way to the voting booth? How is it that Jeremiah Wright’s racist, anti-Semitic tirades had not been heard by every man and woman in America before election day? What yellow-bellied nincompoops permitted the Democratic Party to turn the presidency of the United States of America into a garish, iconographic, messianic ego trip for a single individual with no qualifications but a teleprompter and a real-world resume fit for the back of a postage stamp?\n\nElection ’08 was a clear case of Republican abdication. It was a propaganda war fought banana-republic style and John McCain was all but missing in action. Barack Obama didn’t have to win. All he had to do was show up for his coronation. Heck, the guy didn’t even have to put an American flag in his lapel or lift hand to heart during the national anthem. He just had to show his face, remind Republicans at every weak moment that he was black and the whole lot of hotshots sang his praises almost as much as his Democrat enablers.\n\nNow, we’re clinging to the cliff’s edge with one chance to pull ourselves back from the brink of history’s dustbin. We can all see Greece from our bedroom windows and Republicans must get their act together and start winning the propaganda war. PDQ.\n\nHere are five essentials that will turn the tide.\n\nQ. You have been representing Florida’s 22nd Congressional District for nine months now. Is there anything about Congress or being a congressman that has totally shocked or surprised you?\n\nA. What has shocked me most of all is how easily facts seem to disappear when you cross the Potomac River. It seems on Capitol Hill the goal is to distort the facts, and as a result, the truth is in short supply.\n\nQ. You have claimed to be “the modern day Harriet Tubman” for your commitment to leading African Americans away from the “plantation” of the Democratic Party, as she led slaves from the plantation to the underground railroad. Are you making any progress?\n\nA. The first step in making progress is building awareness — making sure the African American community knows there is a way out of poverty and despair. The same way Harriet Tubman showed a path forward, my goal is to do the same. Government dependency does not create wealth.\n\nBut it’s not a message limited by race. The route all Americans have taken to advancement and prosperity is by embracing our constitutional principles of individualism and self-determination.\n\nQ. Is it even possible to make substantial progress in this area since most African Americans and the Democrats are glued together as political allies?\n\nA. It is certainly a challenge. The liberal progressive policies of the modern Democrat Party, while well-intentioned, have done great damage to African American families and their economic progress over the last five decades since passage of the Civil Rights Act.\n\nUnemployment in the African American community stands at 16.7%, food stamp enrollment is up, and nearly three-quarters of all black children do not live with their biological fathers."

"“Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli deny having bribed University of Southern California staff. The couple said that in court on Friday, according to the American media report.\n\nIt is the third charge filed against Lori and Mossimo in the large-scale university fraud case. The couple is also suspected of fraud and money laundering, but they also deny that.\n\nThe couple would have paid 500,000 dollars, to assure their daughters of a place at the prestigious university. The girls were included on paper in the rowing team, but in reality, turned out not to be practising the sport at all. Lori and Mossimo have to report to the court again next year.\n\nDesperate Housewives actress Felicity Huffman is also one of the fifty parents involved in the fraud case. She is said to have paid 15,000 dollars to boost her daughter’s exam score. Felicity confessed guilt and was sentenced to a prison sentence of fourteen days, community service, a fine and a suspended sentence. The actress was released last week."

"The Parishes of Ecuador (Spanish : Parroquias) are the third-level administrative units of Ecuador. The Cantons of Ecuador are divided into parishes which are similar to municipalities or communes in many countries. There are over 1,500 parishes in Ecuador.\n\nEcuador, officially the Republic of Ecuador, is a country in northwestern South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Ecuador also includes the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific, about 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) west of the mainland. The capital city is Quito, and its largest city as well.\n\nQuito is the capital of Ecuador, the country's most populous city, and at an elevation of 2,850 metres (9,350 ft) above sea level, it is the second highest official capital city in the world, after La Paz, and the one which is closest to the equator. It is located in the Guayllabamba river basin, on the eastern slopes of Pichincha, an active stratovolcano in the Andes Mountains.\n\nA canton is a type of administrative division of a country. In general, cantons are relatively small in terms of area and population when compared with other administrative divisions such as counties, departments, or provinces. Internationally, the best-known cantons - and the most politically important - are those of Switzerland. As the constituents of the Swiss Confederation, theoretically, the Swiss cantons are semi-sovereign states.\n\nGalápagos is a province of Ecuador in the country's Insular region, located approximately 1,000 km (620 mi) off the western coast of the mainland. The capital is Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.",

"Zamora Chinchipe, Province of Zamora Chinchipe is a province of the Republic of Ecuador, located at the southeastern end of the Amazon Basin, which shares borders with the Ecuadorian provinces of Azuay and Morona Santiago to the north, Loja and Azuay to the west, and with Peru to the east and south. The province comprises an area of approximately 10,456 km² and is covered with a uniquely mountainous topography which markedly distinguishes it from the surrounding Amazonian provinces. Zamora-Chinchipe is characterized and largely identified by its mining industry; indigenous ethnic groups with a rich archaeological legacy; its biodiversity; and its niche and tourist attractions, which include a number of waterfalls well-noted for their beauty. The province takes its name from the bureaucratic fusion of the Zamora and Chinchipe cantons. The provincial capital is the city of Zamora.",

There are 221 cantons in the country, of which three are not in any province. The cantons are further sub-divided into parishes, which are classified as either urban or rural. Below is a list of cantons by province.\n\nCotacachi is a canton of Imbabura province of Ecuador in South America. The name also refers to the city which is the seat of that canton, one of Ecuador's leading artisanal manufacturers of leather goods, and to the dormant Cotacachi Volcano which overlooks the canton.\n\nRumiñahui or Rumiñawi is a canton of Pichincha Province in Ecuador.

"Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas is a province in the Republic of Ecuador, created in October 2007 from territory previously in the province of Pichincha.\n\nThe following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Ecuador:\n\nChaupicruz is an electoral parish or district of Quito, the capital city of Ecuador in northwestern South America. The parish was established as a result of the October 2004 political elections when the city was divided into 19 urban electoral parishes.\n\nBaños is a parish located to the south west in the canton Cuenca, province of Azuay, Ecuador.

Ecuador has been described in April as emerging as the \"epicentre\" of the pandemic in Latin America. The city of Guayaquil has been overwhelmed to the point where bodies are being left in the street. As of April 2020, Ecuador has been distributing cardboard coffins due to the country's struggle in evacuating the dead bodies. The government is planning to build emergency cemeteries to dispose of the bodies which are left in the streets. The number of deaths is believed to be significantly higher than the official figure due to a low rate of testing, with many thousands of excess deaths reported compared to the equivalent figure for a normal period. A New York Times analysis found 7,600 excess deaths had occurred from 1 March to 15 April as the mortality rate spiked to three times as much as usual, indicating that the official death toll is an underestimate by more than an order of magnitude."

"Winter is a season we love and hate. When you step outside and are immediately cold and wet, you curse it, and the wind it rode in on. Yet an afternoon crowded with sombre clouds dropping fluffy snow, a night of sparkling hoarfrost casting rainbows in the moonlight, or a frozen, shining morning filled with the tentative calls of waking birds, make it all worth the unpleasantness. Even a frothing, blustery storm can be relished. I work outside every day, so I know what I’m talking about.",

"Just when a season passes, I feel like I’ve missed it. I realize that as I write this, and you read it, we are about a third of the way through spring. I don’t work that fast and I take time to decompress and analyze. Nature moves fast certainly, but we could all use some slowing down these days. I’m present, so I can write about it later.\n\nWhat do you think of when you think of winter? I know many people who think of mountains and snow. I think more of gray days, wintering waterfowl, and sparrows hunched in thickets of blackberries. In a chance moment as I walk down the street in Seattle, I hear the chip note that promises to me a hint of golden yellow, as a Yellow-rumped Warbler passes through the trees overhead. I sit with the ceaseless discussions of Snow Geese in dormant fields, looking up to see Trumpeter Swans flying by on a frigid January day in the Skagit Valley. I pay attention to the brown birds skulking in the bushes, because what I might assume at first glance is a Song Sparrow might actually be a Hermit Thrush.",

Not the world itself, just the human world. In this little dream, I am able to run off into the forest and subsist. I like to think I would do reasonably well, which is absurd because without my modern gadgetry, I would probably starve, freeze, and defecate myself to death; not necessarily in that order (not to mention witnessing the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world). I’m tough, but not as tough as I like to think.\n\nWhen I drive around Seattle, I see a lot of homeless encampments. I have these bizarre thoughts about how I would set up my camp, how it would be better, and then immediately feel ashamed. I know these people don’t want to be living in the cold, polluted cesspits that our society has somehow cornered them in. And then I feel even more ashamed because I know my way of life isn’t sustainable for the planet. That while I sit inside warm and dry, not only are there destitute members of my species outside in the muck, there are wild animals and plants that have to deal with this every day. By living my life, as I do, I’m making it even harder. A simple Song Sparrow or bigleaf maple endures so much more than we give them credit for.\n\nWhen I go out birding or into nature at any time of year, I always try to be sensitive of my impact. Winter is when I take this particularly to heart, (evidenced by my scolding my girlfriend for paddling into and scattering a flock of ducks during January on Lake Washington). When I’m cold or wet, but in the elements for recreation, I imagine myself in the place of one of the birds I’m watching. While I may catch hungry songbirds at daybreak, so concerned with not freezing to death that they will let me approach them, I try not to take advantage of their hunger. A little bit of me wants to anyway, to somehow demonstrate that not all humans are inherently awful, but that is a wasted effort at best. So I keep my distance and I try to just watch. When I get cold, I can go back to my warm conveyance, and eat some food, put on another layer, or just leave. They don’t have that option, they have to be out everyday. I don’t necessarily think we have it better in the long term either.",

"A Golden-crowned Sparrow eyeing a morsel.\n\nBirders don’t watch enough. They count. They scan. They eBird. They observe details in plumage, or look for a standout in the crowd. Everyone is in such a hurry. I do it too. But because I get out less frequently than I want these days, I remind myself to slow down and pay attention. And get off my phone.\n\nFunnily enough, carrying a camera slows my pace. The light catches my eye and I stop. I hear a bird I’d like to photograph and pause for an opportunity. I come across some obliging models, going about their day, unconcerned with the odd person making a clicking noise. As with writing, I become more patient, because unlike when I say, participate in a big day of birding, what matters isn’t the numbers but the moments I can capture with word and image. The cold makes it harder to slow down, but I do it nonetheless.",
null,
"Winter color in the willow tops.\n\nWinter is over. No matter how hard I try to make it, it won’t be back for several more months. Maybe I’ll remember to enjoy it then. Outside my apartment I can hear an American Robin. It’s incessant flutings driving home the point that Spring is here.",
null,
"He won’t be quiet, but that’s ok, testosterone is driving him insane.\n\nDuring work the past couple weeks I’ve seen the signs. Two male Downy Woodpeckers chasing each-other in a vine maple, so incensed I could almost reach out and touch them. Yellow-rumped Warblers, still around from the winter, but now occasionally murmuring tidbits of song, and molting into the yellows and blacks that define breeding plumage. A hen Cooper’s Hawk flying circles overhead, fluffing her under-tail coverts, and calling that unsettling cackling of accipiters; a sure sign of a nearby breeding territory. Familiar birds always tell me much about the world’s seasonal momentum, regardless of the actual date. Nothing says winter is over more than the greenbelts of Seattle, flowing from the reddish brown new leaves of black cottonwoods to the chartreuse and true yellow of flowering bigleaf maples.",
null,
"Of course, it’s still wet, but the damp no longer creeps into my bones. I hate being hot and dread summer’s swelter. Maybe all seasons bring on feeling of love and hate? Either way, I miss them when they’re gone. These days, I just hope we’ll have winter again."

"\nThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was originally released way back in the hazy days of 2011. Since then it’s seen a few different iterations including a re-released enhanced edition, a portable version designed for the Nintendo Switch and now an outing into virtual reality.\n\nWhen we heard that after an initial outing on PlayStation VR, Skyrim VR was making its way to Steam VR and could be played on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality headsets, we were excited to see how it played out.\n\nSo is this just another VR port or a worthwhile outing that has something truly interesting to add? We strapped on the HTC Vive Pro to find out.\n\nDiving into the virtual world, it’s quickly clear that this is the same Skyrim that many know and love. This, unfortunately, means some pretty dated looking graphics and rather clumsy characters lumbering about before your eyes.\n\nThe last time we played Skyrim it was heavily modded with a mass of different graphics and gameplay enhancements. Going back to the original game but in VR has its ups and downs. At its base, this is a seven-year-old game, which shows. The games world moves fast.\n\nBut despite the failings of ageing graphics, the port into VR works rather well. Why? Because Skyrim always was a great game.\n\nThe VR version has exactly the same story as the original, meaning you start out in the back of a rickety cart being pulled along for your imminent death at the chopping block – only to be saved by a fearsome dragon reigning down fire from above.\n\nRogue soldiers try to stop you and giant spiders seem intent on ending your existence before the game has barely started. But it’s immediately obvious that this is Skyrim VR’s highlight: the sheer joy of having it out with various creatures from the Elder Scrolls universe, only larger-than-life and right before your eyes.\n\nRealistic controls for an immersive experience\n\nThe controls are well designed and intuitive for a virtual reality game. There are plenty of customisable settings, too, which allow you to modify the gameplay to your liking. We found options for “physical sneaking”, “realistic bow aiming”, “realistic shield grip” and “realistic swimming”, each of which add a pretty cool control method to the game and helps increase the level of immersion.\n\nWhen you can raise your shield to block rather than pressing a button on your keyboard, or pull a drawstring to fire your bow at an oncoming dragon, or duck down in the real-world to sneakily pick someone’s pocket, it makes for a truly awesome experience. Realistic swimming is pretty hilarious too – ducking your head below the water and waving your arms about until you start to move.\n\nThere are a number of different mechanics for movement that include teleportation and locomotion. You can also choose whether those movements are smooth or instantaneous – so you can adjust to suit your gameplay style (and what you can handle in terms of nausea-inducing movement).\n\nForward movement, especially sprinting, is handled with a black cone around the edges of peripheral vision that acts in a tunnel-like manner when you move quickly. This alleviates some of the problems you might encounter with this otherwise.\n\nOur favourite of all, though, is galloping around on a VR horse while bursting spells from the palm of your hands. Spellcasting and shouting is so much more fun and immersive.\n\nDoes it make sense in VR?\n\nDespite all this, however, we’re not sure VR is meant for role-playing games. Especially ones on the scale of Skyrim.\n\nLast time we played we spent well over 60 hours roaming around in the Skyrim universe. Doing the same in VR would be incredibly exhausting. Especially if you’re like us and you enjoy to play at room-scale standing up the whole time. Doing this means you can do things like realistic sneaking, but it also means a nagging backache when you’ve climbed the 7,000 steps to see the greybeards or trekked through the snow-drenched plains to reach your next objective.\n\nThat said, we soon found how easy it is to get lost in this game while the hours slip away. Especially true when you’re in the VR world and can’t see the time ticking by in the real one. The only indication that you’ve been playing too long will be the ache in your back and the dull throb in your feet from standing for hours. Unless you play sitting down, then your eyes will be the first to go… unless you take an arrow to the knee.\n\nPlaying seated is perhaps the more logical choice if you want to get stuck into the game, but that would take away from the battle mechanics and the fun of the realistic controls.\n\nThe problem with a game like Skyrim is it brings out our kleptomania. We feel the need to loot everything in sight. Which means we get in trouble with the local village folk when we steal their goods or “accidentally” kill their chickens. Luckily, just like in the original game, quick save is available, which is a saving grace.\n\nWe soon found ourselves looting bodies and picking flowers with reckless abandon. Oh, how we long for the loot cheat to alleviate any misery with inventory space issues. “You are overburdened and can no longer sprint”. Hello misery, our old friend.\n\nLooting aside, we’d forgotten just how much fun this game can be – and how frustrating too. We won’t go into the depths of the story, but needless to say you’ll want to be a role-playing game fan. Whether you’re into demons, dragons and the like, however, doesn’t necessarily affect whether you’ll like the game – there are umpteen elements that will keep you hooked, whatever your fantasy level preferences.\n\nIt goes to show: a good game is a good game. Despite the dated graphics from a mere seven years ago, Skyrim VR is still the magnificent RPG romp it always has been. There’s all the freedom, fun and frolics we remembered on the first outing, just in virtual reality form, which brings a freshness to the game.\n\nThere are plenty of other highlights to playing Skyrim in VR too. Browsing the skills and spells menus opens up that universe-like browser that enshrouds you, which is beautiful to behold. The map, too, gives you a god-like view of the world and really adds to the feeling of wonder. The lock picking mechanic is there too, but reimagined for VR. Building, crafting, the massive and unrelenting skill tree, dragon slaying galore – all the wonder of Skyrim is here.\n\nWe found very little in the way of bugs in our playtime. Sometimes inventory menus did disappear into world objects, making them impossible to see, but that was rectified by opening and closing the menu.\n\nIf you thought that Skyrim had already seen too many outings, think again. Skyrim in VR is a great way to relive the wonder of the original in virtual reality. Or maybe you never played it, in which case this is a great entry point.\n\nIf the idea of playing an old game with dated graphics doesn’t completely appeal, however, then the good news is Redditors have discovered a number of mods that work with the game and an easy way to install them too. Meaning that if you’re willing to invest the time, you can apply a number of mods to make it look better, have more content, or just change the way the characters talk to you.\n\nOverall, Skyrim VR’s great story, epic scale, and freedom to roam make it every bit as good as the original. The realistic VR mechanics make it surprisingly immersive and easy to play too. The only hard part will be standing on your feet for umpteen hours. And believe us when we say that you will – which goes to show just how addictive this classic game remains.",

"In the world of surgery, we have bypasses, transplants, tracheostomies, and much more. This is nothing new to us and we probably know someone who has undergone some form of surgery – whether it is an elective or urgent procedure. However, there are times when conventionality falls away and a surgical procedure becomes something of a spectacle that leaves many bemused.\n\nIt’s not only humans that feel their self-esteem dwindling because of weight issues. Let Obie the pudgy dachshund be our case in point. Tipping the scales at 34kg (the average weight of a fourteen-year-old human), this dog could barely chase his own tale, let alone a burglar. Finally, Obie got off his big behind and got some exercise, subsequently losing 19kg. Unfortunately, this great achiever now had tremendous amounts of loose skin, so his owner took him to get a tummy tuck (yes, you heard right), which saw Obie losing 9 grams of loose skin.\n\nDoctors told him that he would never walk again\n\nCar crash survivor, Rick Constantine (58), suffered a brain stem stroke which led to paralysis. He was told by doctors that he would never walk again because his nerves forced his muscles to over-contract, but the unyielding Mr. Constantine stayed strong.\n\nThrough Botox treatments (they’re not only there to make you look beautiful) and physical therapy, but he also began to see positive changes. Thereafter, he underwent surgery that sought to reduce the input from nerves that caused his muscles to over-contract. Two weeks after the surgery, Mr. Constantine was walking without aid and has even run a 1-mile race with no help.\n\nIt’s not actually in the seven figures, it’s closer to R500k ($56 000). Born without a hand, Matthew James sought the assistance of the Mercedes F1 team by writing a letter to their Boss, Ross Brawn. In it, he kindly asked for approximately R490k so that he could score an “i-Limb Pulse” bionic hand.\n\nIn exchange for the most technologically ground-breaking hand in the world, he would allow the F1 team to place advertisements on it – either way, he would be winning. The touching letter landed Matthew with a brand new and pretty cool hand, which makes him the closest thing to Bionic Man or Will Smith in iRobot.\n\nI’ll just do it myself then\n\nIt’s not every day that you hear of a man who has performed an operation on himself, but in 1921, Dr. Evan O’Neil Kane of Kane demonstrated that less-dangerous local anesthetics, other than ether, could be used to operate on patients.\n\nDr. Kane used himself as a test subject and, after taking local anesthetics, he made a large incision on his abdomen and removed his own appendix. In 1932, he shocked the world by doing a more complex surgical procedure on himself to repair an inguinal hernia. It is said that during the delicate procedure (which required he operate close to the femoral artery) he laughed about it like it was nothing special, even when he was sewing himself up so close to the special artery."

"Concert Hall QPAC Renaissance Singing The Tallis Scholars Vocal Ensemble by Caroline Russo | on June 29, 2016 | 0 comments | in Theatre | Like it",
null,
"The QPAC concert is the first stop on an extended seven city national tour for the renowned British early music vocal ensemble.\n\nFounded in 1973, The Tallis Scholars have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Lauded by audiences and critics alike for the purity and clarity of their sound, which founding Director, Peter Phillips, believes best serves the Renaissance repertoire, The Tallis Scholars have re-set the bar for a cappella music.\n\nThe Tallis Scholars have performed in both sacred and secular venues, notably St Paul’s Cathedral in London, the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, which marked the final stage of the complete restoration of the Michelangelo frescoes and the Church of St Ignatius Loyola in a collaboration with Sir Paul McCartney, as well as the National Gallery London where they appeared with Sting and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.\n\nThe exceptionally high standard of performance and recording maintained by The Tallis Scholars and their dedication to one of the great repertoires in Western classical music makes their concert an experience not-to-be-missed.\n\nThe Tallis Scholars’ last performance at QPAC was in 2013, where the group celebrated their 40th anniversary. This year, the pure-voiced ensemble is set to not only perform the inspired music of Clemens, Phinot, and Tallis, but also music from the most performed living composer of the last five years, in the world, Arvo Pärt, and beloved English composer, Sir John Tavener.\n\nThe Tallis Scholars will also be joined by a chamber ensemble from the QPAC Choir (Choirmaster Timothy Sherlock) in a stunning performance of Thomas Tallis’ renowned 40-part motet Spem in alium.\n\n“…as near extraterrestrial as you can get sitting in a concert hall.”\n\n“One of the UK’s greatest cultural exports.”\n\n“…an uncanny ability to increase emotional intensity so subtly that you don’t realise it’s happening. Then, suddenly, pow!”\n\nRefer to www.qpac.com.au for current pricing"

"Queensland the terrorist capital of the world or the lawless wild wild west?\n\nEveryone should know that the corporate body called the 'government' does not take an action without a business case justifying this action, where it usually boils down to the dollars / profit justifying that action.",

"It sounds like something out of a science fiction story, but the news that a new bionic lens is on the horizon is true.\n\nDr. Garth Webb, the scientist behind this new lens says that it can increase a person’s clear vision by 300%. Basically if you can see something and read the details at 100ft, you’ll soon be able to see it at 300ft.\n\nThis is startling to say the least but there’s real science behind it and clinical trials are starting soon. Dr. Webb’s new lens allows for long distance and short distance site thus removing the need for corrective lenses like contacts and eyeglasses. The procedure so far only takes about 8 minutes at that. Imagine, being able to walk into a doctor’s office and 8 minutes later being able to see like Superman.\n\nIt’s called the Ocumetrics Bionic Lens. The lens is surgically inserted into the eye much like today’s cataracts surgery. Dr. Webb even has his own corporation and is the CEO of Ocumetrics Technology Corp. and has spent years and millions of dollars doing the science, research, and application of this technology. He’s got the patents and is building a facility in Delta, B.C. (British Columbia). That being said, Dr. Webb is raring to go and expects that if there’s no stonewalling by regulators, the lenses and technique will be on the market in a few years.\n\nThe implications are enormous. People aged 25 and older are eligible for the surgery as by that age their eyes are fully developed. Military could use them in combat and daily operations making accuracy and efficiency in safety increase a thousand fold to say the least.\n\nPeople who play sports could benefit as well and let’s not forget pilots and truckers who could use this enhancement to safely look for trouble in the skies and down the road. The average person would benefit the most with this lens. Everyday tasks could be done more safely and efficiently, parents could keep an eye out for their kids better and teachers could too. Police officers and firefighters as well as rescue personnel would be 300 times more efficient.\n\nJust think of the lifeguard at the local pool or beach being able to see 3 times as better thus spotting trouble before it occurs. Talking about water, divers could increase their vision and find items, detect trouble, and other amazing things.\n\nDr. Webb has had his technology looked at by professionals in the field. At the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, industry leaders attended a meeting to look over Dr. Webb’s bionic lens and found the data highly promising. Most of the surgeons attending will attempt to do clinical trials in their countries as well.\n\nOf course at first, there was skepticism regarding the bionic lens, but after studying the science, the top surgeons realized there is something there. As they progress through their research the process may get streamlined or even improved.\n\nThe first tests will be done on animals and humans who are blind. The first thing to see is if sight is restored, how well, and if any complications arise over time. When the clinical trials are done, it will then be available for application in humans on a general basis. Surgeons around the world will have to learn how to do the technique and of course overall costs will come into play.\n\nIt shouldn’t be more expensive than today’s cataracts surgery so the adjustment may be relatively minor. It’s just a matter of time before these lenses are out on the market and we may see changes in human life like never before.\n\nAuthor Bio: Tony Rollan provides consulting services to VSI (http://www.patternless.com). He is an author of many articles on all types of optical, ophthalmic equipment and alternative medicine."

"For months there has been many different discussions over the Linux desktop's poor performance when under memory pressure / out-of-memory type situations. That has resulted in some upstream work so far like GNOME GLib's GMemoryMonitor as well as discussions by distribution vendors about what solutions they could enable today to help the low memory situations. Fedora 32 could begin shipping and using EarlyOOM by default to help in this area.\n\nFedora developers had been figuring out ways to improve Linux interactivity in low-RAM environments. Red Hat's Chris Murphy has followed through with submitting a change proposal for Fedora 32 to install EarlyOOM by default and have it enabled. EarlyOOM is a user-space daemon for checking the amount of memory and swap frequently in order to trigger Linux's out-of-memory killer (oom-killer) sooner rather than before experiencing too much memory pressure that the Linux desktop hits responsiveness problems.",

"So the proposal aims to help Fedora recover from OOM situations sooner. This change would affect April's release of Fedora Workstation 32. Fedora already has the earlyoom package for those interested but this is about the default change.\n73 Comments\nTweet\nFedora 38 \"Simplified Installer\" Aiming To Ease IoT Deployments\nFedora 38 To Get Rid Of Its Flathub Filtering, Allowing Many More Apps On Fedora\nFedora 38 Cleared To Ship With Its Bleeding Edge Compiler Toolchain\nFedora 38 Change Approved To Mandate Quicker Reboots/Shutdowns\nFedora 38 Features Approved For Unified Kernel, mdadm BIOS RAID, Xfce 4.18\nFedora 38 To Beef Up Its Compiler Fortification Defenses"

"Matthew Russell\nTIME TRAVEL\nDo you wish to travel through Time?\nLook out on the velvet sky.\nBut never look with everyday eyes;\nInvolve your inward eye.\nSwitch off the looking-and-seeing\nWe enjoy in our daily lives,\nAnd imagine Light when it's leaving,\nAnd Light when it arrives.\nIt may be all stars have perished,\nAnd we're alone in the dark,\nFor it's not the Present we're viewing,\nWhen we gaze at this pin-wheel spark.\nTwenty-five million Light Years\nThis view has been travelling to you!\nYet we marvel at this beauty\nAnd treat it like something new!\nThis star may now be a Nothing,\nIn a Black Hole or turned to Gas!\nIt may have shrunk to a tiny dot\nOr be an enormous mass.\nHad men been around when this star blazed,\nAnd we know that they were not,\nThey could never have gazed at this certain star,\nThis shimmering diadem dot,\nFor they'd have been looking at something else\nAlready incredibly old!\nThey might have looked at the Big Bang\n(Which didn't exist, we're told!)\nWhen Cavemen looked up at the starry sky\nWhat wonders did they see?\nFor they, too, were Time Travellers,\nMuch like you and me.\nAnd what of intelligent creatures\nGazing, now, from on high, at our earth?\nThey don't 'see' us as we are now,\nSo what is their viewing worth?\nIf they could see an enlargement\nThey'd find very different creatures!\nJust elemental living things\nWith very different features!\nSo what do we know about anything?\nPrecious little it seems.\nBut we can Travel in Time right now,\nAnd enjoy the Land of Dreams.\nI know that I'll die not knowing\nWhat the whole damn thing's about.\nIt makes my head ache just thinking!\nI'll leave Matthew to work it out!\nMatthew Russell is my cousin's son and I have just re-met him on Facebook. There I discovered that his astronomical photographs are considered very fine by those in the know. This is what he wrote to accompany this shot:\nLast night's quick photo of M51 the brilliant iconic gem the Whirlpool galaxy! How ace is it! 2 galaxies M51a and M51b colliding, the white dust around the smaller galaxy is actually millions of stars being flung around! I don't really know what would happen to the planets that surround these stars, the scale maybe soooo huge that they don't really feel it! Strangely even though their are billions of stars in a galaxy when they collide it's highly unlikely a star will hit another star! much more likely is gas to interact and make new stars, and supernovae, So with galaxy collisions you get more heavy elements therefore more chance of complex life!\nMy poem is a feeble effort to make some sense of it all!\n*\n--------------------------------------------------------\n\nQUOTE \"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players\"\nAUDIENCE OF ONE\nIf all the world's a stage\nWith an audience of One,\nIs He sitting there in judgement\nFrom the time the play's begun?\nIs He holding his auditions\nAnd declaring who will act\nAnd is He doling-out the roles,\nOn a stage which is tight-packed?\nAnd are we merely players\nLike puppets hung on strings,\nAnd is He in charge of properties,\nThe crowns, the shining wings?\nSince He has sprinkled attributes\nAmong the fawning players,\nAnd sorted men and women\nInto variegated layers\nWith successes at the very top,\nThe mediocre in between\nAnd the failures at the bottom,\nNot allowed upon the scene,\nAchieving even a walk-on part\nIs like crying for the moon,\nEven if we act quite well\nAnd can even hold a tune!\nAnd if the 'audience' likes the play\nWill there be a standing ovation?\nWill He thunder-clap his god-like hands\nIn a heavenly proclomation?\nIt's all too hard for me, my friends,\nI feel much more at home\nWith those very human, squabbling, lying,\nGods of ancient Rome.\n*\nPosted by Rinkly Rimes at 5:52 PM\n\nWhen Matthew talks of there being a more complex life when the stars collide, I take it he is talking about the complexity of matter, not the complexity of 'life' (humanity). I can think of it only as watching a more complex fireworks display, orchestrated by humans. Is it possible that some sort of 'being' (life form) is orchestrating what he sees? And when global warming takes effect here, what will 'they'(?) be seeing from there, I wonder. What if Matthew could view the same view from the moon - would that make it any easier to\nexplain what is happening, I wonder. I am groping here, of course, trying to find the best questions to ask!"

"Merging Nu-Metal grooves with Funk, Rock and Hip Hop, Incubus carved their own musical niche and earned a huge following by tireless touring and releasing ever-improving quality albums. Light Grenades [2006] shows the growth of a band that has stayed true to their musical roots but at the same time added incredible musical prowess and variation in their songs, as well as increasingly serious lyrical content. A bit more upbeat than their previous album A Crow Left Of The Murder, Light Grenades has it all: swaying from catchy hooks in “Diamonds And Coal” to acoustic ballads like “Paper Shoes” and everything in between. Diversity still is the band’s middle name and that’s not a small feat in a cookie-cutter Pop world.\n\nLight Grenades is available as a limited edition of 2000 numbered copies on transparent red vinyl.",

"But viewers were left with two entirely different perceptions of the situation.\n\n“We open this show with horrifying pictures of what’s happening at our southern border which is completely open, and this country is being invaded,” Tucker Carlson said in his opening monologue.\n\n“No, that’s not an overstatement — more than a million people [illegally crossing] this year expected.”\n\nCarlson then turned his sights to Abbott, chastising him for not appearing on his show — the highest-rated in all of cable news.\n\n“This has been going on for months and we’ve asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott many times to come on this show to explain why he hasn’t called the National Guard to seal the Texas border.”\n\nAs of June, Abbott had deployed a small portion — about 1,000 troops — of the state’s approximate 20,000 National Guard troops.\n\nTucker then said Abbott has “refused to come on, repeatedly.”\n\nFast forward an hour and the same issue brought a different assessment.\n\n“At least 12,000 migrants are living in squalor in Joe Biden’s border camp under the Del Rio, Texas bridge,” Sean Hannity told viewers. “Neither Biden nor Harris can really be bothered to care and they’re aiding and abetting lawbreaking and refuse to offer any solutions.”\n\nThen, Hannity brought in Abbott to discuss the issue.\n\n“Now tonight, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, he’s standing strong. He’s doing everything in his power to protect Texans [and] mobilizing the resources that he can and urging the president to issue a state of emergency declaration.”\n\nAbbott called the White House’s directive to place the tens of thousands of Haitian migrants underneath the bridge “a disaster.”\n\nThe governor then ran through Texas’ efforts to secure the border such as the state’s $3 billion in new funding for various security measures, including the “steel barrier” made up of hundreds of patrol cars. As soon as that was up, the border crossings in that area ceased.\n\nThe State of Texas is also trying to finish construction on the southern border wall begun by the Trump administration but has moved forward with its own plan. That plan was only formally initiated on September 16 when the state entered a contract with a private firm to begin the construction. About 450 miles of wall were constructed before Joe Biden took office and halted its construction.\n\nBut Texas’ 1,200-mile-long border has faced a months-long spike in illegal crossings that has reached record highs. And the crossings are occurring at many more points of entry than just the Del Rio sector.\n\nBorder patrol officials have said the forces at the border are “overwhelmed.”\n\nTo Hannity, Abbott said, “We have thousands of National Guard [troops] engaged as we speak with more being added all the time.”\n\nNo firm number has been released and the Texas Military Department did not return The Texan’s inquiry. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) did tell The Texan that “DPS has deployed around one-thousand Troopers, Special Agents and Rangers to assist at the southern border as part of Operation Lone Star.”\n\n“We’ve unleashed the National Guard to do their job,” Abbott emphasized during the Hannity interview.\n\nHannity concluded the interview, saying, “I hope you’re able to get that situation under control because I don’t think help is coming from the federal government.”\n\nAt the end of his segment, Carlson promised to have Abbott’s primary opponents on his show should the governor not take up the host’s offer. He delivered on that promise the next night, bringing on former Texas GOP chair, and the highest-polling Abbott primary opponent, Allen West to discuss the issue.\n\nAsked why certain border security measures have not been implemented, West told Carlson, “Well, you’d have to ask the person who’s currently the governor that obviously refuses to go on your show but goes on other shows where he feels he has a nice listening audience.”\n\nCarlson has not placed all the blame on Abbott. He’s castigated the Biden administration at length, too.\n\nAfter West’s full response, Carlson noted, “Colonel West, I think you’ve just won a lot of support — certainly from me.”\n\nArguably the two most powerful media voices in GOP primary politics — Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity — are entirely divided on their assessments of the Texas governor’s response to and role in the unfolding border crisis.\n\nEach reaches over 3 million households every night and possesses massive sway with GOP primary voters.\n\nRecent polling showed an odd trend among Texas Republican voters. A mid-September poll conducted by the University of Texas at Tyler showed a 7 percent decrease in Abbott’s net overall approval rating among GOP voters compared with the June version.\n\nBut it also showed a 9 percent jump in net approval of Abbott’s border response among those voters.\n\nThe September poll occurred before the Haitian migrant situation in Del Rio crescendoed, and before the dueling acts by the Fox News anchors.\n\nThe Fox duo are not the only figures within the conservative and right-wing commentariat wading into the race. Founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, hosted another Abbott primary challenger, former state Sen. Don Huffines, during which the host criticized the incumbent extensively.\n\nThe third high-profile challenger, BlazeTV host Chad Prather, is himself a political commentator with his own show on Glenn Beck’s influential network.\n\nOthers critical of Abbott include Houston radio host and frequent guest of Carlson’s show, Jesse Kelly.\n\nBut Abbott still has his own allies, too. In a June interview on Fox News, Laura Ingraham applauded Abbott’s efforts on the border. “Thank you for stepping up and the people of Texas are spending an enormous amount of their tax dollars to secure their state, but that money should ultimately come from the federal government,” she said.\n\nAbbott has a substantial advantage in the GOP primary, buttressed by his record-setting $55 million war chest. But the latest polling indicates his position so far atop the field is not entirely impervious.\n\nHere Are the Border Plans From Texas’ GOP Candidates for Governor"

"According to NASA, one of Saturn’s moons named Enceladus may harbor a hidden ocean containing alien life.\n\nAlong with other moons like Titan and Europa, Enceladus was on a list of possible prospects for scientists to investigate for possible signs of microbial life. Over the years, however, Enceladus fell off the list while attention was aimed elsewhere. But all that has changed.\n\nRecent data collected by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft and Deep Space Network has confirmed what scientists theorized as an underground water reservoir. It’s a theory dating back to 2005, and according to Luciano Iess of Sapienza University of Rome, lead author of the paper, “The Cassini gravity measurements show a negative gravity anomaly at the south pole that however is not as large as expected from the deep depression detected by the onboard camera. Hence the conclusion that there must be a denser material at depth that compensates the missing mass: very likely liquid water, which is seven percent denser than ice. The magnitude of the anomaly gave us the size of the water reservoir.”\n\nIess explains just how large this body of water is, “The gravity measurements suggest a large, possibly regional, ocean about 6 miles (10 kilometers) deep, beneath an ice shell about 19 to 25 miles (30 to 40 kilometers) thick. The subsurface ocean evidence supports the inclusion of Enceladus among the most likely places in our solar system to host microbial life. Before Cassini reached Saturn in July 2004, no version of that short list included this icy moon, barely 300 miles (500 kilometers) in diameter.”"

"The renowned knishes of this Yonah Schimmel‘s date back to before the store itself opened in 1910. 20 years earlier, Yonah, recently immigrated from Romania, began to make the rounds of the Lower East side selling his handmade knishes from a pushcart. Although the shop’s leadership changed shortly after it moved into the established location on Houston, the Schimmel name stuck.\n\nThe bakery has since become a lasting icon of the Lower East side. It was immortalized in a painting by Hedy Pagremanski that now hangs in the Museum of the City of New York, and was featured in Woody Allen’s film Whatever Works.\n\nThe Lower East side has changed, but Yonah Schimmel’s bakery remains a beloved relic of a past era. The majority of the shop itself hasn’t been renovated since its first opening, and the owners claim the knish recipe has not been altered since the pushcart days. The menu features the same classics of Jewish cuisine, latkes, potato kugel, bagels, and borscht, that first won the heart of New York. The same philosophy applies to the sign above the door, which reads “Shimmel”, an original mistake that was never corrected.\n\nRead more: New Exhibition Goes Inside Lost Homes of the Lower East Side"

"In this post I share a Fusion 360 GD&T tip. If you are working with Fusion 360 and you want to create beautifully annotated drawings this video might save you some frustration.\n\nLast week we talked about what I believe is the most important part of GD&T – picking functional datum features.\n\nFusion 360 is a great CAD program given its very affordable price; however, somethings aren’t as easy to do or as clean as in more advanced CAD program such as SolidWorks or Creo.\n\nFusion 360 allows us to create feature control frames with leaders or attached to feature or dimension line extension. But the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard also allows us to:\n\nIf we try… Fusion 360 asks us to select an object. It then started drawing a leader or an extension line.\n\nLet’s add a tolerance to the four M6 clearance holes.\n\nSelect the feature control frame button and attach it to an arbitrary feature and then click enter. Leave the frame empty.",
null,
"Next, place another feature control frame attached to the previously created feature.",
null,
"You can now position the feature control frame below a dimension, in a note, or in the general tolerance block.\n\nBecause the frame is not associated with a feature – Fusion360 won’t be happy and will give you a warning if you try to export as a PDF; however, we can ignore the warning and the file exports correctly.\n\nI hope that helped.\n\nThank you for reading!"

"Are You Doing The Wrong Things Right Or The Right Things Poorly? Here’s How To Tell\n\nEditor’s Note: This post originally appeared on Forbes.com on October 14, 2014.\n\nThose who follow Harvard Business professor Thomas J. Delong (author of Flying Without a Net) may recognize his terminology about doing “the right thing poorly.” (Delong wrote about the concept in Harvard Business Review here.)\n\nBut this week I learned how to apply the Performance Matrix to life as an entrepreneur from the individual who premiered the concept in his 1998 book, A Touch of Reality: fellow CEO Space instructor and business and management expert Bob (Robert) Johnson. Earlier this year Johnson spoke with me about collaboration for one of my previous posts. Today we examined the way entrepreneurs can use the Performance Matrix to hit their optimal marks. For a visual on this discussion, consider the quadrants below:",
null,
"In the upper right quadrant of this matrix you might envision McDonald’s or Apple (companies that are generally currently perceived to be doing the right things well). Yes, we realize the opinion may depend on the season or day and are not universal, but by and large these companies are addressing their marketplace well.\n\nBut don’t forget, Johnson says, that every company currently doing the right thing well has risen out of the former experience of doing the right thing poorly. A new product design the company hasn’t gotten proficient at yet. Or a product module that isn’t quite 100%. Products fit there. Businesses, too. Even the internet itself is not yet sure what it is going to become.\n\nSo doing the right thing well is the end of the story, correct? Not at all, Johnson says. From this place, there are forces that push products and companies left. Changing demographics, technology, economic conditions force them into the quadrant of doing the wrong thing well.\n\n“Consider the U.S. Post Office,” Johnson says. “Put a square of paper in the box, write on it wherever you need it to go in the world, and it’s done.” But as FedEx and email emerge… the Post Office may be doing a job as well as it ever did, but the market forces are pushing it left.\n\n“To be doing the wrong thing well, all you need to do is maintain the status quo,” Johnson said, in what I considered to be the most insightful remark of our chat. As organizations move left they complete the cycle every product and every company enters. With patience, innovation and practice they move into the “right thing poorly” again—perfect their approach, and hit their optimal stride until market forces push them leftward again.\n\n“Every organization goes through the cycle, “ he says. “For a car, the cycle of a new design may last 4-7 years. For fashion, the cycle is likely 12 months. In the software business, however, as soon as you put up a new program there’s someone in a basement saying, ‘How do I hack that?’ The optimal market for software is sometimes as short as just 30 days.”\n\nSo what should entrepreneurs learn from this cycle? According to Johnson, identify the business you’re in and estimate its time cycle. If it’s a software program that takes five years to implement… well, you may have the right idea, but someone else may get to it first.\n\nAs to doing the wrong thing poorly, you can get to that quadrant from any square on the map. “You lose your focus and lose your vision, perhaps,” Johnson says. “When this occurs, your organization is like a heart in ‘defib’—it’s certainly busy, and you can see that it’s moving a lot. But it’s not really getting anything done.”\n\nHow do structure and collaboration factor in? On the bottom right, we have low structure and high collaboration, Johnson tells me. “Entrepreneurs thrive here. This is where children are playing, experiments happen, and good things begin to emerge.”\n\nIn the upper left, we see high structure and high competition. “Here’s where we see companies striving to measure success according to their own prior history. They are measuring themselves in ways that no longer apply. They are surviving.” Groups in the upper left that survive are the ones such as public education that have very little competition, he notes.\n\nWhy the focus on the Performance Matrix? “In real life, there’s no practice field for new business,” says Johnson. “For any high performance team, you’ll notice the team spends much more time practicing than performing. The same is true for ensemble musicians as well—they are able to explore their capabilities and they know their chances for success because they have practiced.”But in business? “We are forced to learn in real time (like the War Room in the Pentagon). We make decisions that are designed to magnify risk.”\n\nOrganizations with low structure and high competition are the most highly challenged of all. In government, we would call it “anarchy.” In a commercial organization, the company is simply trying to survive. Employees are working only at keeping their jobs.\n\nIn all, the Performance Matrix is an excellent model for determining where you currently stand as an organization and what you need to do next. By this model, where does your company stand? I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Readers who would like to reach Bob Johnson directly can find him at www.robertjohnsonspeaks.com."

"It’s the fate of authors investigating and relaying stories from the past; details will be missed, stories will be untold and some facts may be incorrectly reported. So much of this kind of research relies on finding people, or being found. It relies on getting in touch with, or hearing the people that lived there at the time, or who knew someone (who knew someone) – but sometimes that just doesn’t happen at all, or in the case of Toad Hall, didn’t happen in time.\n\nIn September 2019, Jim Scott submitted reminiscences about his time at Toad Hall, a time that began in late 1958. The story of Toad Hall features on pages 54-59, 22 and 238 of Scarfie Flats of Dunedin and describes the beginnings of the flat in the 1960s. Many thanks Jim, for getting in touch and contributing to the story of Toad Hall. Scarfie Flats of Dunedin was a snapshot in time, its great to continue the story here, online.\n\nJohn & George (he had a car!) were deputed to scout for a flat. They somehow secured the tenancy of 22 Pitt Street: rent payable immediately. The back story was that until recently it had been occupied by two sisters. One had died, and the distraught survivor kept her sister with her for several days.",

"We were all 21 years old; from similar backgrounds; and knew each other well from our time together at College. Perhaps that is why we thought nothing of the fact that we would now be living in a grand old Edwardian mansion; north facing; with splendid views to the Otago Harbour; and only five minutes’ walk from Medical and Dental Schools.",
null,
"It had three large bedrooms, large sunny lounge, separate dining room, and ancillary staff and utility rooms. The bedrooms and lounge had minuscule fireplaces, so effectively there was no heating. The kitchen had a small 1920s free standing gas oven. In winter this was the warmest room in the house, and where clothes might be dried if you waited long enough.\n\nProfessor Bill Adams, Head of the Anatomy Department at the Medical School lived over the back fence. This encouraged circumspect behaviour than might otherwise have been lacking. Neighbours Mr & Mrs Laing were kind and tolerant, and a great help when we held dinner parties.",
null,
null,
"We began to call our house Toad Hall among ourselves, and the name spread around the student community. No signage was needed. We assumed the names of Kenneth Graham’s characters: Mole, Ratty, Badger, Toady, & Judge. Your name you depended on one’s perceived characteristics and known experiences.\n\nWe trickled into occupancy during January 1959. The house had been cleared of personal belongings, but some serious items of furniture remained: a large Victorian dining table & chairs with a handsome sideboard, large wardrobes, several aspidistras, pedestal with clock, kitchen table & chairs, and threadbare floor coverings. Beds, study tables etc came with us from Knox.\n\nThe “garden” was seriously overgrown. Not a problem, as the umbrella stand [!] held five Samurai swords of varying lengths. One fine day we took to the grass and bushes with these and ‘tidied’ the section. The Victorian wooden fireplace surround and mantelpiece in the front room was lavishly adorned with turned finials & knobs. A few quick swipes with a sword and resulted in a more modern aesthetic. I wonder now at the value of those furniture chattels, and shudder when I remember our vandalism.\n\nLike most student flats, we were a crash pad for out of town visitors, many of whom had been at school with one or another of us. This was particularly so during major events, and inevitably led to parties such as that after the All Blacks-Lions First test on 18 July 1959.[1]\n\nMembers of both teams arrived. Around midnight a voice was heard confiding in an Irish brogue that, “she asked for something to remember me by, and all I could give her was a bebe”.\n\nThose were the days when men were expected to dress in sports coat collar & tie for lectures, which were also held on Saturday mornings. Although the flat had a washing machine, it was easier to use the bag wash at the bottom of Pitt Street. One could last a month with a wardrobe of at least 30 pairs of socks, and a half dozen drip dry shirts. The washing machine was electively out of action for a month while we experimented with home brew in preparation for a ‘garden party’. The resulting ‘beer’ resisted containment in bottles, but when imbibed was pleasingly soporific.\n\nAt the end of 1960 we passed Toad Hall to the next intake. Although it may have passed into Selwynite occupancy, it appears that it went to good hands.\n\n[1] Read more about students and the All Blacks-Lions First test in, ‘The Shambles’, Scarfie Flats of Dunedin, pp. x-x.\n\nWhere Scribes Bookshop is now, on the corner of Great King and St David Streets in Dunedin, there was once a notorious flat, called the Shambles. It was well known for it’s parties and as a location to go to continue drinking once the pubs had closed.\n\nIt’s not entirely clear from where the name of the flat originated: it may have been the shambolic nature of the place itself, or it may, as has been suggested by a former resident, been named for a place in Manchester of the same name.\n\nShambles is an old name and derives from Viking word Shamel apparently meaning ‘bench’, ‘booth’ or ‘shelf’ and the name is found in many places in the UK where there are market places.\n\nThe most famous example such a place is the Shambles in York which is allegedly mentioned in the Doomsday Book, one of the few streets that is. This would make it over 900 years old.\n\nThis is a quintessential medieval street with upper storeys of buildings stretching out across the street precariously towards each other. The street was once a flesh market (hence also being known as Flesshamel) – that is, a street of butchers. Livestock were slaughtered in the streets and it’s been suggested that it is this resulting mess that provides the word shambles with its contemporary definition. In fact the OED gives three definitions: 1) a mess or muddle, 2) a butcher’s slaughterhouse, 3) a scene of carnage.\n\nReports about the Shambles in Dunedin, of parties and exploding pans of golden dough boys from the 1950s and 60s, suggest the OEDs third definition may be most approprite for explaining the name of our Great King Street residence."

"Neuralink, Elon Musk’s company focused on developing brain-machine interfaces, has posted a video to YouTube that appears to show a monkey navigating an on-screen cursor using only its mind.\n\nPager, a 9-year-old macaque monkey, had a Neuralink implanted about six weeks before the video was shot, the video’s unnamed narrator says. He was first taught to play video games with a joystick for a banana smoothie reward, delivered through a metal straw. While he was doing this, the Neuralink device recorded information about which neurons were firing — learning, essentially, to predict hand movements by recording which regions fired. After learning the patterns, the joystick Pager used to play was disconnected from the computer. The monkey…"

"The namesake son of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos appeared to have been elected Philippine president by a landslide in an astonishing reversal of the 1986 “People Power” pro-democracy revolt that ousted his father.\nListen now to WTOP News WTOP.com | Alexa | Google Home | WTOP App | 103.5 FM\n\nMANILA, Philippines (AP) — The namesake son of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos appeared to have been elected Philippine president by a landslide in an astonishing reversal of the 1986 “People Power” pro-democracy revolt that ousted his father.\n\nMarcos Jr. had more than 30.8 million votes in the unofficial results with more than 97% of the votes tabulated as of Tuesday afternoon. His nearest challenger, Vice President Leni Robredo, a champion of human rights, had 14.7 million votes in Monday’s election, and boxing great Manny Pacquiao appeared to have the third highest total with 3.5 million.\n\nHis running mate, Sara Duterte, the daughter of the outgoing president and mayor of southern Davao city, had a formidable lead in the separate vice presidential race.\n\nThe alliance of the scions of two authoritarian leaders combined the voting power of their families’ political strongholds in the north and south but compounded worries of human rights activists.\n\nDozens of anti-Marcos protesters rallied at the Commission on Elections, blaming the agency for the breakdown of vote-counting machines and other issues that prevented people from casting their votes. Election officials said the impact of the malfunctioning machines was minimal.\n\nA group of activists who suffered under the dictatorship said they were enraged by Marcos’s apparent victory and would oppose it.\n\n“A possible win based on a campaign built on blatant lies, historical distortions and mass deception is tantamount to cheating your way to victory,” said the group Campaign Against the Return of the Marcoses and Martial Law. “This is not acceptable.”\n\nEtta Rosales, a former Commission on Human Rights chairwoman who was twice arrested and tortured during martial law in the 1970s, said Marcos Jr.’s apparent victory drove her to tears but would not stop her from continuing efforts to hold the Marcoses to account.\n\n“I’m just one among the many who were tortured; others were killed, I was raped. We suffered under the Marcos regime in the fight for justice and freedom and this happens,” Rosales said.\n\nMarcos Jr. and Sara Duterte avoided volatile issues during their campaign and instead stuck steadfastly to a battle cry of national unity, even though their fathers’ presidencies opened some of the most turbulent divisions in the country’s history.\n\nMarcos Jr. has not claimed victory but thanked his supporters in a late-night “address to the nation” video, where he urged them to stay vigilant until the vote count is completed.\n\n“If we’ll be fortunate, I’ll expect that your help will not wane, your trust will not wane because we have a lot of things to do in the times ahead,” he said.\n\nRobredo has not conceded defeat but acknowledged the massive Marcos Jr. lead in the unofficial count. She told her supporters the fight for reforms and democracy won’t end with the elections.\n\n“The voice of the people is getting clearer and clearer,” she said. “In the name of the Philippines, which I know you also love so dearly, we should hear this voice because in the end, we only have this one nation to share.”\n\nShe asked her supporters to continue to stand up: “Press for the truth. It took long for the structure of lies to be erected. We have the time and opportunity now to fight and dismantle this.”\n\nThe election winner will take office on June 30 for a single six-year term as leader of a Southeast Asian nation hit hard by two years of COVID-19 outbreaks and lockdowns and long troubled by crushing poverty, gaping inequalities, Muslim and communist insurgencies and deep political divisions.\n\nThe next president will also likely face demands to prosecute outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte for thousands of killings during his anti-drug crackdown — deaths already under investigation by the International Criminal Court.\n\nAmnesty International said it was deeply concerned by Marcos Jr.’s and Sara Duterte’s avoidance of discussions of human rights violations, past and present, in the Philippines. “If confirmed, the Marcos Jr. administration will face a wide array of urgent human rights challenges,” the rights group said in a statement Tuesday.\n\nHuman Rights Watch also called for Marcos Jr., if he takes office, to improve the human rights situation in the Philippines.\n\n“He should declare an end to the ‘war on drugs’ that has resulted in the extrajudicial killing of thousands of Filipinos, and order the impartial investigation and appropriate prosecution of officials responsible for these unlawful killings,” said Phil Robertson, the group’s deputy director for Asia.\n\nMarcos Jr., a 64-year-old former provincial governor, congressman and senator, has defended the legacy of his father and steadfastly refused to acknowledge and apologize for the massive human rights violations and plunder under his father’s strongman rule.\n\nAfter his ouster by the largely peaceful 1986 uprising, the elder Marcos died in 1989 while in exile in Hawaii without admitting any wrongdoing, including accusations that he, his family and cronies amassed an estimated $5 billion to $10 billion while he was in power. A Hawaii court later found him liable for human rights violations and awarded $2 billion from his estate to compensate more than 9,000 Filipinos who filed a lawsuit against him for torture, incarceration, extrajudicial killings and disappearances.\n\nHis widow, Imelda Marcos, and their children were allowed to return to the Philippines in 1991 and worked on a stunning political comeback, helped by a well-funded social media campaign to refurbish the family name.",

"Gigs turns into a full-time gig\n\nShawn Montique, founder and owner of Gloria’s International Grocery Store in Dartmouth, wanted to do something to honour his late grandmother. Naming his new store after her seemed fitting.\n\n“Gloria’s International Grocery Store, also known as Gigs, is my tribute to my late grandmother, Gloria, and her love for community,” Montique says. “Gigs is actually her nickname amongst our family and friends back in Jamaica, due to her jolly nature.”\n\nGigs is a Caribbean grocery store specializing in goods from Jamaica. Montique says getting products from the Caribbean to Nova Scotia used to be difficult and they got used to using alternatives. However, during his travels within Canada, he realized other provinces were getting things directly from Jamaica, so why not Nova Scotia?\n\nIt Was Supposed to be Someone Else’s Job\n\n“It’s a funny story,” he says. “I was actually in talks with another business owner and I had asked her to come to Halifax to start a Caribbean grocery store because I wasn’t up to starting it. But she kept motivating me to be the one to rise to the occasion since I knew the local culture in Nova Scotia and the Jamaican community here.\n\n“I started selling spice out of my vehicle to gage demand from the community. This led to opening our own storefront in May 2022 and we’ve been here since.\n\n“We started with Easter buns and cheese. This is our Jamaican tradition and I didn’t know that it had so much impact all over the world. A lot of people took note of that and placed orders or came in to the store to get the buns. Since then, it’s been me trying to keep up with the demand from the community.”\n\nAs a Dartmouth resident, Montique found the initial reaction from the community overwhelming. He was touched by the love from the community, starting from Nova Scotians to Jamaican and Caribbean immigrants, Canadians who had visited the Caribbean and loved the products they found there, etc.\n\nMontique says local Nova Scotians, as well as Jamaican and other Caribbean immigrants, of course, equally frequent the shop and buy the goods.\n\n“We have a very diverse customer base who all buy different items, ranging from spices, snacks, to fresh produce. There’s something for everyone.”\n\nNot Without its Challenges\n\nAlongside the overwhelming positives, Montique also says that starting and operating a business is a steep learning curve and there are many challenges, funding and cash flow being a major one.\n\nFinding a prime location and getting the right people and right suppliers are other challenges Montique has faced, being the first to operate a Caribbean grocery store here in Nova Scotia.\n\n“Before me there wasn’t a direct channel to getting Caribbean groceries to the Halifax/Dartmouth area, so I have to be at the forefront of it. It’s a continuous challenge, but it’s worth it.”\n\n“We are working with local suppliers to create some of our beloved Jamaican products with a Canadian twist. We’re aiming to offer in-house brands very soon. We have bakers we’re working with to create Jamaican baked good like Easter buns and offer them year-round. In this way we’re also giving back to the local economy at every step.”",

"In 1791 Wesleyan missionaries came to France from Great Britain. In the following years more than 20 congregations came into being. However, most of them joined the French Reformed Church in 1938.\n\nToday's «Union de l'Eglise Evangélique Méthodiste en France» was founded in 1868 in Alsace. This work was expanded to Southwest France in 1926. In 2005 the Methodist congregations, which did not join the French Reformed Church decades ago, were incorporated into the UMC. In 2008/2009 a group of United Methodists originally coming from the Ivory Coast joined the church, as well.\n\nToday, important areas of emphasis of the UMC in France include working with children, youth, and women, evangelization, and a literature ministry. However, the congregations are also aware of their heritage of social service and take this mission seriously by helping people in need. At some places migrant communities (for instance Cambodian-speaking) meet in the buildings of the Methodist congregations.\n\nPoints of contact between Church and society include several institutions with which the UMC is affiliated: the Bethesda charity, five homes for the elderly; three centers for vacation, contemplation and renewal; and nine Protestant bookstores.",

"We describe here the model Munjala developed around 930 CE\n\nOur sources are the web page of Dennis Duke\n\nthe web page of Michael Nauenberg\n\nand the relevant article of Pingree.\n\nThe diagrams were established from the geocentric longitude of the Moon on 15 / 04 / 967 at 23:56 Angkor time (the choice of this date is explained in the chapter “Later diagrams”)\n\nWe have developed a theory about the relationship between the locations of the principal Khmer monuments (and in many instances their orientation and internal measurements) and components of enormous Indian planetary diagrams “drawn virtually” on the Angkorian ground using the parameters of the “Midnight System”.\n\nThe latter is one of the two geocentric planetary models which appeared in the texts of the Indian astronomer Aryabhata at the beginning of sixth century.\n\nIn the case of an outer planet (Saturn on the diagram), a circle called \" deferent \" is drawn from an \" observer \" which is supposed to stand on the Earth. The centre of another circle called the \" Manda epicycle \" rotates around the observer, travelling around the deferent.\n\nThe peripheral end of one radius (parallel to the apsides line) of this Manda epicycle determines the centre of another epicycle called the \" Sighra epicycle \".\n\nThe location of the Sighra epicycle’s centre is more clearly indicated on this magnified section of the Mercury diagram.\n\nThe equant of the inner planet is determined in the same way as that of an outer planet.\n\nThe “concentric equant” model of Aryabhata\n\nAt the beginning of the sixth century, Aryabhata developed the “concentric equant” model : the Sun moves on a circle of radius R called a “deferent” whose centre is the earth (observer). That means the distance between the earth and the Sun is constant. The motion of the Sun is uniform as seen from a point called “equant” which is located at a distance R x e from the earth (observer) in the direction of the apogee (e = eccentricity). That means the motion of the Sun is not uniform as seen from the earth.\n\nDetails are provided by the following web page of Dennis Duke: http://www.dioi.org/equant.pdf\n\nThe oscillating epicycle model of Bhaskara\n\nThe Aryabhata model is mostly an algorithm which is not suitable in the context of sacred geography and we have discovered the Khmers drew the solar diagrams by using the epicycle equivalent of the Aryabhata model developed by Bhaskara during the seventh century. It is an epicycle model whose eccentricity is variable. A relevant animation of Dennis Duke can be seen on :\n\nThe solar diagrams we have discovered obey the rules of the Bhaskara model ie:\n\nFor an astronomer, “m” indicates the mean position (ecliptic longitude) of the Sun determined from the apsides line. It is the position of the centre of the Bhaskara epicycle.\n\nThe apsides line is the line from perigee to apogee. The ecliptic longitude of the latter is indicated in the table of the “Midnight” parameters.\n\nIt is the eccentricity of the solar diagrams “drawn” on the Angkorian ground.\n\nAnother notion, the equation of centre, plays a role in the solar diagrams we have discovered :\n\nWith q = equation of centre\n\nIn astronomy, the “equation” is an angle that is the difference between the true position and the mean position of a body. Thus:\n\nFor an astronomer, “t” indicates the true position (ecliptic longitude) of the Sun determined from the apsides line.",

"In the case of an inner planet (Mercury on the diagram), the centre of the Sighra epicycle is located on the straight line running through the observer and the Sun ie, in this case, on the geographical parallel of the observer.\n\nThe following diagrams show how the Indian and Khmer astronomers could determine the position of Saturn, Mercury and the Sun on 22 / 04 / CE 967 (Julian calendar) at midnight between 22nd and 23rd.\n\nThe \" parallel of observer \" is not a component of the \" Midnight \" system. It is a component of the diagrams drawn virtually on the ground. In Khmer sacred geography, indeed, the Sun is always supposed to lie due East of the observer (religious traditions)."

"In the view of one influential economist, British farmers have developed an unsustainable dependence on overly generous tax benefits.\n\nAccording to Prof. Dieter Helm, the Chair of the advisory group Natural Capital Committee, Britain’s agricultural industry has become too heavily reliant on government subsidies.\n\nAlthough Prof. Helm was speaking in an unofficial capacity, this could be an early indicator of the future British farmers are facing.\n\nIf the government are to heed his advice, farmers will need to adapt to the loss of the generous tax relief benefits they currently receive.\n\nWhy is this being highlighted now?\n\nWell, this could be a preemptive measure to warn farmers of the effect Brexit might have on their industry. In a post-Brexit economy, reviews of subsidy distribution are going to become commonplace, as areas previously funded by payments from the European Union will now fall directly to the British taxpayer.\n\nCurrently, British agriculture benefits from over £3 billion a year in EU farming subsidies. Without this Europe-wide regulation, the British taxpayer will have more control over the way tax is spent, and it might be difficult to justify continuing the industry’s ‘addiction’ to subsidies.\n\nDepending on how well ministers are able to argue for the continuation of these benefits, it’s possible that certain privileges could be lost.\n\nWhat could this mean for British farmers?\n\nFirst of all, it could mean very little. Although Prof. Dieter Helm is the chairman of an influential environmental committee, his words were spoken only in a personal capacity as a BBC Radio 4 guest.\n\nHowever, it would seem wise for British farmers to prepare for some degree of change in the way they receive tax relief. Environmental Secretary Michael Gove has already suggested that tax relief incentives may change to reward farmers in proportion to the benefits they deliver for nature and the countryside, rather than the quantity of land farmed.\n\nFrom this stance, for example, benefits such as the legal use of low-duty red diesel may be withheld unless a specific environmental target is met.\n\nAt this stage however, any comments on the specifics of the tax relief changes are purely speculative – but British farmers would be wise to keep up to speed on the current debate surrounding post-Brexit agriculture, as it may have an affect on the way they farm.\n\nTo stay in the loop with all the latest developments in this story, give our Facebook page a like and we’ll keep you updated."

"Most football histories are written as chronologies of events and include considerable statistical content. So far as Bradford football is concerned we have a reasonable understanding of what has happened since 1903 but not about why it happened. As regards the nineteenth century, there has been limited understanding of what happened and even less about why. Similarly, a credible explanation of the antagonism between City and Park Avenue has never been provided.\n\nA new series of books – HISTORY REVISITED – is being produced that will provide a fresh perspective on the history of Bradford football going back to its genesis in the nineteenth century.\n\nThe first volume, A HISTORY OF BCAFC IN OBJECTS by John Dewhirst was published last year and provided an original version of the club’s history through surviving artefacts and memorabilia, a ‘museum in a book’. It was acclaimed by Hunter Davies as ‘the best illustrated history of any club I have ever read’.\n\nThe second volume, REINVENTING BCAFC by Jason McKeown will be published in March, 2016. This will cover the last thirty years from the re-opening of Valley Parade to the present day.\n\nThe story of the origins of sport in Bradford and the rivalry of Manningham FC and Bradford FC as well as their later conversion to soccer will be told in the third and fourth volumes of the series, ROOM AT THE TOP and LIFE AT THE TOP by John Dewhirst to be published in July, 2016. These will feature the nineteenth century origins of rugby and association football in Bradford and the rivalry of the Valley Parade and Park Avenue clubs up to 1908.\n\nThe fifth, and final volume, WOOL CITY RIVALS by John Dewhirst will be published during 2018 and will cover the twentieth century rivalry of City / Park Avenue from 1908 to 1974 and will include many items of memorabilia from both clubs that it was not possible to include in A HISTORY OF BCAFC IN OBJECTS.\n\nBetween them the five volumes will tell the story of football in Bradford from its genesis to the modern day and the series is intended to provide a definitive history. There will be subscriber and limited edition hard back issues of each"

"An Instagram fan account dedicated to Queen’s frontman, Freddie Mercury, recently posted a photo of the iconic rockstar with his chef Joe Fanelli and his assistant Paul Prenter that included excerpts from an interview with Brian May in which he discussed how Prenter affected Freddie negatively and encouraged him to go down wrong paths.\n\nFreddie Mercury is without a doubt one of the most famous and appreciated musicians of all time, and although he passed away approximately 30 years ago, the legacy he left behind with his music is still appreciated by millions all over the world. Mercury’s four-octave vocal range and flamboyant stage persona which altered the conventions of a rock frontman are still appreciated by both fans and fellow musicians.\n\nRecently, one of the biggest fan pages dedicated to Freddie posted a photo of him alongside Joe Fanelli and Paul Prenter and included some words by Brian May. Brian May recalled taking this photo back in April 1978 in Amsterdam, at the hotel they used to stay at whenever they went on a tour in The Netherlands.\n\nHe first started by describing Joe Fanelli -who was initially Freddie’s friend and then his cook- and praising him for his love and dedication to Freddie. May added that Freddie loved his cooking and really appreciated that even though Fanelli was a vegan, he would cook delicious meals which included meat for Freddie.\n\nThen May went on to talk about Paul Prenter, who is often called Freddie Mercury’s ‘Judas‘ by the rockstar’s fans. As you may recall, Freddie and Prenter had a falling out in 1982 after the release of the band’s ‘Hot Space‘ album with which neither Brian May nor Roger Taylor was happy, and they blamed Prenter for the influence he’d had over the sound.\n\nThings got even worse when Prenter sold a story to a national newspaper after they broke up with Freddie in which he disclosed personal information about his life, relationships, and vices. Brian May referred to these incidents and said that ‘he was responsible for taking Freddie on other paths that […] didn’t end up too well for him.’ May said that although he started out as a personal assistant, he then acquired so much authority that ‘it was no longer good‘ for neither Freddie nor Queen.\n\nHere’s what was written in the caption:\n\n“Freddie with Joe Fanelli and Paul Prenter at the Sonesta Hotel in Amsterdam, April 1978.\n\n‘Here we have Freddie in April 1978. I took this photo at the Hotel Sonesta in Amsterdam where we used to stay when we played in the city. When we toured in The Netherlands we always stayed in Amsterdam, such a beautiful city, and we drove for an hour and a half to play in Rotterdam.’ — Brian May.”\n\nThis is what Brian May said about Joe Fanelli:\n\n“We have Freddie’s personal assistant at the time, Paul Prenter in the middle, and Joe Fanelli on the right. Joe was a great friend of Freddie and he ended up being Freddie’s chef. Joe was a wonderful person and had very good character. He was a declared vegan, but he cooked all of Freddie’s meals, which usually contained meat. It was said that he cooked very well and he still seems incredible to me to dedicate himself to that. He was quite young when he left his life in the Midwest of the United States to join Freddie, but he was cultured and kind and loyal to the end. What a good man Joe Fanelli was.”\n\nHere’s is what he went on to say about Paul Prenter:\n\n“Many things can be said of Paul Prenter, but I’ll be brief. He was responsible for taking Freddie on other paths and it would be fair to say that we didn’t end up too well for him. He began as a personal assistant to assist staff from all over the group, but a time came when it was no longer good for us.”\n\nClick here to check out the photos that were posted by Freddie Mercury’s fan page.",

"Businesses often worry about unpredictable outcomes and an alleged pro-worker bias among judges when they go to labour courts. This column uses information from around 145,000 decisions made by French appeals courts over the period 2006-2016 to examine the impact of labour court judge bias on the economic performance of firms. The findings suggest that some judges are more pro-worker than others, and that this bias matters for small, low-performing firms, but not for other firms.\n\nOutcome unpredictability, fear of differentiated treatment, and judges’ alleged pro-worker biases are some of businesses’ frequent worries when they go to labour courts. In order to limit economic uncertainty and guard against dramatic outcomes, many advanced economies have recently enacted reforms that restrict judges’ latitude in awarding compensation. In the US, judges of the National Labor Relation Board are denounced as being influenced by partisan ideology (Turner 2006, Semet 2016). In Italy, the Jobs Act, adopted under the Renzi government in December 2014, aimed at reducing uncertainty due to excessive litigation and the unpredictability of judges’ decisions (Boeri and Garibaldi 2018). In France, the 2017 Ordonnances reforming the labour code introduced a ceiling on the level of compensation granted by judges, which depends on firm size and worker seniority. Currently, in a majority of European countries, the power of judges in compensating the individual damages following wrongful dismissals is capped.\n\nHowever, few, if any, of these regulations have been grounded on rigorous fact-based analysis, mainly for lack of appropriate data. To shed light on this issue, our paper (Cahuc et al. 2020) presents the first systematic evidence of the impact of labour court judge bias on the economic performance of firms. We use text analysis to extract rich information from about 145,000 decisions made by French appeals courts over the period 2006-2016.\n\nOur identification strategy relies on the quasi-random assignment of appeals court presidents. Appeals of cases for wrongful dismissal are decided by three-judge panels composed of a president and their two assessors, in a section of the court called the ‘social chamber’. We focus on the presidents, who oversee all the rulings and accordingly play a key role in deciding the case, and leverage their rotations across courts. To identify the effects of judge-specific differences on compensations for wrongful dismissals, we compare the compensations decided by subsequent presidents of social chambers within the same social chamber of the same appeal court within the same year. We document the quasi-random allocation of judges to cases due to institutional constraints and we verify that the allocation of judges is unrelated to the observable worker and firm characteristics of the cases they judge. We therefore interpret the differences between mean compensations set by subsequent judges in the same social chamber of the same appeal court in a given year as reflecting the influence of judges’ subjectivity.\n\nWe find that some judges are more pro-worker than others, meaning that, conditional on observables, they are more likely to (1) consider more often that dismissals are wrongful, and (2) set higher compensation levels conditional on characteristics of cases. As shown by Figure 1, the difference between the compensation set by the most pro-worker and the most pro-employer judges is significant: moving from the bottom decile to the top decile of judge bias increases expected compensation payments by about two months of salary, or 20% of the average compensation.",
null,
"We then explore the impact of judge bias on firms’ economic performance. We rely on administrative firm-level records covering the whole universe of French firms and focus on small firms – those with 100 employees or fewer at the date of the judgment – which are likely to provide an upper bound of the effect we seek to estimate. From reduced-form regressions, we find that the judge bias has a significant impact on firm survival, sales and employment for firms which have fewer than ten employees and whose return on assets is below the median. There are no significant effects for other firms, either with at least ten employees or whose return on assets is above the median. This indicates that the judge bias does matter for small, low-performing firms, but not for other firms.\n\nHence, we conclude that even though the level of compensation matters, the actual dispersion of judge bias has no significant effects on the average performance of firms in our context. An important open question that our study cannot address, however, is the possibility that all judges are biased, meaning that setting all biases to the mean does not ensure the absence of bias among judges in the interpretation of labour laws (Ash et al. 2018).\n\nSemet, A (2016), “Political decision-making at the national labor relations board: An empirical examination of the board’s unfair labor practice decisions through the Clinton and Bush years”, Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law 37(2): 223–292.\n\nTurner, R (2006), “Ideological voting on the national labor relations board”, University of Pennsylvania Journal of Labor and Employment Law 8(2): 707–764."

This superbly written treasure of a film, which premiered to wows from critics and audiences alike at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, delves into the unseen world of trailer voiceover artists and not only proves Bell’s worth as an actress, but also marks her arrival as a proficient writer and director.\n\nLiving in the shadows of her unsupportive father, Sam (Fred Melamed), in a male-orientated profession, Carol (Bell) is somewhat out-of-her-depth, biding her time working as a vocal coach and stalking unsuspecting members of the public to increase her vocal abilities. But when a studio shows interest in reviving the revered “in a world” phrase for a new quadrilogy, Carol seizes the opportunity to prove herself, even if it means tackling some suppressed family issues in the process.\n\nThere’s various elements that make up the films whole (a blossoming romance between Carol and her workmate Louis and Carol’s sister’s turbulent marriage are two of the most arresting sub-plots), but it’s fair to say that the film hits its mark when focused on the sector of Hollywood it so shrewdly – and uniquely – examines. The script is both exquisitely informed and structured, and there’s a tremendous amount of humanity built in through Bell’s truthful writing style that makes it every bit relatable.\n\nIt’s anchored by a superb performance from Bell. As an actress, she’s paid her fair share of dues by starring as the sidelined support in mediocre rom-com after mediocre rom-com, so it’s satisfying to see her finally able to demonstrate her true ability. It’s unsurprising, too, to see her write such broad and characterful roles for the supporting cast, none of whom are left in the lurch – even Eva Longoria as an actress trying to nail the cockney accent is terrific in what’s no more than a cameo appearance.\n\nThe direction is modest, yet wonderful nonetheless. But it’s the satirical and forthright tone created through her words and her upfront unwillingness to conform to any kind traditional expectations – stylistically or otherwise – that truly sets the film apart. The film carves its own path, and it’s all the more successful and rewarding for it. And what’s more it avoids preaching too loudly about feminism. There’s just the right amount to ensure a message is delivered with all the wit and artistry."

"RECIPE: Someone at work was leaving and loved all things chocolate. I had some cream cheese in the fridge, but as it turned out I needed more! Anyway, this recipe caught my eye. I liked this recipe because it had layers of dark, milk and white chocolate cheesecake, and I liked the marble finish instead of layers because it meant you saw all the colours even when it was in the tin. I didn’t change the recipe.\n\nPREPARATION: Use a food processor for the biscuit crust, it makes creating the crumb very easy. It’s a nice touch to add the hazelnut meal, don’t leave it out. Once the cream cheese was softened and my gelatine dissolved, I kept the mixer going while I drizzled in the gelatine to avoid any lumps. I was able to set aside the cheese mix and whipped cream while I prepared the chocolate. I melted the chocolate in the microwave in three separate bowls, not quite melting it then stirring it until the heat of the melted chocolate melted the remaining chunks. I did the milk and white chocolate bowls first but was too late by the time I got to the dark bowl! It had set again while waiting, so I had to scrape off the cheesecake and warm up the chocolate again. Fortunately I was able to get off most of the cheesecake mix. You almost need six bowls so you can split the cheesecake mix into thirds and then prepare your three chocolates. It was all okay in the end. Spooning the mixture into the tin gave a great effect for little effort. I used a skewer to do five circle swirls then swirled into a circle in the middle.\n\nIMPRESSION: I was expecting this to be rich, but it had a light chocolate taste and the cheesecake flavour was still distinct. I really liked it because it wasn’t too rich or too sweet, just right. Lots of good feedback from all my tasters, so I think it was a hit.\n\nCombine biscuit crumbs, hazelnut meal, butter and chocolate and press into the base of a greased 24cm (9″) springform tin; chill. Beat cream cheese and sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the gelatine mixture and beat until well combined. Divide mixture evenly into 3 bowls. Add a quantity of melted chocolate to each bowl and mix until smooth. Fold through a third of the whipped cream into each mixture. Spoon mixture into prepared base, alternating between the three mixtures until all has been used. Lightly swirl mixtures with a skewer and shake to smooth over. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight until set. Serve with raspberry coulis."

"When Three Points of the Compass first began camping as an individual, it was only the brief foray from the bosom of my family while still a quite innocent and naive young man. More an impecunious teenage making do with what gear I could save for with the meagre earnings from a paper round, or what was languishing in the loft from (presumably) my dad’s younger days supplemented by what I could scrounge.\n\nBrief cycle trips into the neighbouring countryside were followed by the occasional overnight when an Army Cadet. A bright blue and almost shapeless climbing sack was, on occasion, stuffed full of the assorted gear that I could muster and I extended my experience into overnight bivvies in the local woods. There was little beyond this that surburban Hertfordshire could offer, but still a thrill to a nervous lad stretching at boundaries. My earliest ground cover was basic. It was simply a grey woollen blanket that my mother permitted me to cut into a tapered shape in a vain attempt to save on bulk and weight. She taught me blanket stitch and the rough edges, cut diagonally across the weft were tidied up with bright red wool. I even sewed a handful of cub scout badges that I had somehow earned onto the top edge to make it more presentable, God, what was I thinking!\n\nThis early attempt at insulation beneath me while camping was soon superseded by the lightest blow up mattress I could find, the sort of thing that was sold cheaply in beach side shops and intended to last a week on the sand and local swimming pool. It was bright pink and required blowing up hard otherwise my hip rested on the ground (I have always been a side sleeper). So hard was the mattress that it was uncomfortable enough to prevent sleep. Thereby providing all the more time to consider just how useless it was. When it developed too many leaks to continue patching with a cycle tyre repair kit it was thrown away with little regret. Fortunately there was an efficient alternative available from the local Woolworths that was cheap enough to even be within reach of my limited funds.",
null,
"Possibly the first book I ever purchased that helped guide me in my early purchases of camping equipment was Derrick Booth’s The Backpacker’s Hand Book. I read the book from cover to cover and still today believe it contains much good sense and advice, if now a victim of it’s time. Re-visiting my youth I tracked down a copy, unfortunately I could not find a hard back like the one I read so avidly in the ’70’s, instead I now have the paperback 1982 third edition reprint.\n\nIt was Booth who put me on to the option of a closed cell mat. Before I purchased a Karrimat I had experimented with a thin piece of cheap foam purchased from the local haberdashers. I failed to understand the difference between open and closed cell foam and, needless to say, the open cell foam compressed completely, provided zero insulation and was just as useless as the air mattress had been except even less comfortable.\n\nMy Karrimat, made by Karrimor, was a roll of bright yellow, half inch thick, closed cell foam pad. It was probably the only piece of kit that I purchased in the 1970’s that could still hold its head up against today’s opposition. Never the most comfortable piece of padding, nonetheless it insulated reasonably well from the cold ground. It was incredibly lightweight and when rolled up, its bulk could be strapped to the outside of the bright orange external frame pack that I proudly possessed at the time.\n\nWhen I made my first attempt at any sort of ‘long distance’ hiking; a self-devised 80 mile circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight in the late 1970’s, this is what I used. So suitable was it that when I repeated the hike, in under 40 hours, the following decade, this is what I took for my brief overnight halt. I used the Karrimat right through the 1980’s and it was only in the 1990’s that I decided to cut it up to make pot cosies.\n\nLater, as a young man and still later, as a young soldier, I was rough enough, tough enough and probably stupid enough to make do with very little in the way of underbody insulation when camping. If I didn’t have a closed cell mat, then I frequently made do with pulling together natural insulation- bracken, pine needles etc. These together with excess clothing kept beneath an army ‘maggot’- a down and feather sleeping bag with waterproof base, usually sufficed. Nights were seldom comfortable, or warm for that matter, thankfully I shall never return to that situation if I can help it.\n\nFoam pads are still a viable option for those looking to save a good deal of money, or boost the insulative qualities of an existing mat (either foam or inflatable) while also giving a little puncture protection to a second fragile and expensive inflatable mat. There is a large range of foam pads available from various manufacturers and some have some quite ingenious design features incorporated to boost insulation or comfort without necessarily increasing the bulk of an already large product, or increasing weight. Almost all of these are based around either Evazote or Plasazote foams and Three Points of the Compass had a closer look at these foams here. It is also possible to buy these two foams (choose Evazote) direct from a supplier relatively cheaply and cut and shape your own.\n\nLooking to an improvement to my closed cell foam mat, it wasn’t difficult to settle on a far more comfortable and more efficient alternative. While there were cheaper rivals, by far the biggest market leader was Thermarest. The mat I chose was a full length (51cm x 183cm), 3.8cm thick Thermarest Prolite 4 from their, somewhat ambitiously named, ‘Fast & Light’ range. It had a bright orange top side and a grey base. Size Regular, it weighed 680g.\n\nSomewhat optimistically advertised by Thermarest as a four season mat, the Prolite mat provided an R-value of 3.2. Wow!\n\nOK, it was time to learn a little about the deep dark and secretive world of R-values. R-value is a measure of thermal resistance. Simply put, it is the ratio of the temperature difference above and below the mat and the heat transfer between these points over time. A higher R-value indicates that a mat resists heat transfer better than a mat with a lower R-value. Mats would typically have a range of between 1 and 8. So at 3.2 the Prolite was OK, but not exactly great.\n\nThere are a number of features that put this mat above the foam mat in my mind. Comfort is a big factor, these old bones appreciate the vast improvement however as a side sleeper, the hip can still bottom out if the mat is a tad soft.\n\nIn April 2011 a fault in the earlier Prolites manifested itself. Camping in the Peak District I went out exploring the hills, returning to my tent in the afternoon I was greeted by a mat that looked as though it had been gorging itself.\n\nWhile almost self inflating once unrolled, the Thermarest mats require a few final puffs of air to finish them off before closing off the valve. Over time the moist breath builds up condensation inside the mat, you could actually see mould growth within the mat through the thin walls. This was no doubt unkind to the internal fabric, probably rotting the baffles inside. On a warm day and subsequent expanding air, the two sides can separate with disastrous consequence. A slight bubble quickly becomes larger and the mat becomes impossible to sleep on.",

"I emailed pictures off to the distributor for Thermarest and was promptly sent a replacement mat; quite excellent customer service. By then, I had purchased a replacement myself as I was ‘in the field’, as it were. As a result I still have the replacement in its wrapping unused. (edit- my daughter has since happily sold this via eBay)",

"Thermarest Prolite Plus mat. R-Value of 3.8\n\nThe replacement mat was the improved version. This was the Thermarest Prolite Plus. The same size: 51cm x 183cm (20″ x 72″). This mat also weighs 680g (24oz) and offers an R-Value of 3.8, a slight improvement on my earlier mat. I have used this down to -5°C (23° F), unsurprisingly at that temperature the cold is seeping through the mat, especially at the hip (or more accurately, my body is attempting to heat up the planet). The lesson has been learnt though, and if I leave the mat in the tent during the day, the valve is tweaked open to allow for expansion should the day warm up. No more exploded mats please.",
null,
"Replacement mat, that good that I haven’t sold it on\n\nThis mat continues to give good service. It is pretty tough and a decent middle ground mat. My upgrade on this will almost certainly be to another Thermarest. I have considered the Neo Air at length, but am almost settled on the X-Therm mattress in one of its incarnations.\n\nDepending on the size I purchase, these currently range from 430g to 640g. All are 6.3 cm (2.5″) thick and have an R-Value of 5.7. I favour the X-Therm over the lighter NeoAir due to its increased efficiency and apparent greater durability. The question of how to inflate it remains unanswered as yet. Do I go with simply blowing it up, with the inherent risk of condensation inside, which can freeze into ice crystals at night with subsequent risk of puncture. Or use an inflator bag or one of the little battery driven inflators, which look a bit naff to be honest.\n\nA glance back at some bothies visited over the years… A’Chuil is a well-situated and appreciated halt.

"Roman Colosseum Illuminated with the EndPolioNow Message in February 2009\n\nEVANSTON, Ill. U.S.A. (Feb. 22, 2010) -- What do the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre, Buenos Aires’ Obelisk, and Chicago’s Wrigley Building have in common?\n\nEach of these iconic landmarks will provide a dramatic backdrop for an equally dramatic message: End Polio Now. Those three words – representing Rotary’s pledge to rid the world of this crippling childhood disease -- will be projected onto each structure during the week surrounding Feb. 23, the humanitarian service organization’s 105th anniversary.\n\n“By lighting these historic landmarks with Rotary’s pledge to end polio, Rotary is saying to the world that we will fight this disease to the end,” says Glenn E. Estess, Sr., chair of The Rotary Foundation, which oversees Rotary’s polio eradication program. “People around the world will see these words and join Rotary and its partners in the historic effort to eradicate polio from the face of the earth.”\n\nThe End Polio Now illumination of the pyramid is particularly symbolic because Egypt’s history spans humanity’s struggle with the disease. Ancient Egyptian artwork carried the earliest known depictions of people disabled by polio; and in 2006, Egypt, along with Niger, became the most recent country to be declared polio-free, leaving only four polio-endemic countries: Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan.\n\nIn addition to the Egyptian Pyramid of Khafre, other sites scheduled for illumination the week of Feb. 23 include the Taipei Arena, Taiwan; the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain; the Old Port Captain’s Office on the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa, with world-famous Table Mountain as the backdrop; the Obelisk of Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Lake Marathon Dam overlooking the historic Marathon Memorial Battlefield in Greece; the Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy; and in the city where Rotary was founded 105 years ago, Chicago’s famous Wrigley Building.\n\nThe illuminated displays coincide with a mass mailing of “End Polio Now” postcards to heads of state in some 40 countries worldwide, encouraging governments to continue or increase their commitment to polio eradication, a goal more than 99 percent achieved.\n\nIn addition to the landmark light displays, Rotary clubs worldwide have planned a variety of polio eradication awareness and fundraising activities surrounding Feb. 23. Examples include:\n\n• In South Africa, a “Kick Polio Out of Africa” awareness campaign will launch on Feb. 23, with the symbolic kicking of a soccer ball in Cape Town, host city to the 2010 World Cup. The soccer ball will travel through 22 high-risk countries on the continent en route to the June, 2010 Rotary International Convention in Montréal, Québec, Canada.\n\n• In the United Kingdom, beginning Feb. 23, Rotary members will solicit donations in exchange for a spot of purple dye on each donor’s pinkie finger. That’s how Rotary volunteers and health workers in developing countries record that a child has received the oral polio vaccine. The ensuing Purple Pinkie Week will include purple beer specials at a local brewery and selling tickets and purple wristbands for a special soccer match in which the home players will wear purple jerseys bearing the End Polio Now logo.\n\n• In South Carolina, USA, the week of Feb. 21 has been declared Rotary Polio Awareness Week across the entire state.\n\nPolio eradication has been Rotary’s top priority for more than two decades. The international humanitarian service organization is a spearheading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, along with the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF.\n\nRotary recently pledged to raise US$200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. All of the resulting $555 million will be spent in support of eradication activities.\n\nGreat progress has been made, and the incidence of polio infection has plunged from about 350,000 cases in 1988 to fewer than 2,000 in 2009. More than two billion children have been immunized in 122 countries, preventing five million cases of paralysis and 250,000 pediatric deaths.\n\nRotary club members worldwide have contributed more than $900 million and countless volunteer hours to the effort and are now working aggressively to raise the $200 million needed to match the Gates Foundation grants. The money is needed to help close a funding gap that could undermine two decades of progress. To learn more about polio eradication, including how to participate in this historic effort, visit www.rotary.org/endpolio today.\n\nFor video and still photos go to: www.thenewsmarket.com/rotaryinternational\n\nRotary – an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide in humanitarian service - has more than 1.2 million members in more than 33,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographic regions.

"It is becoming increasingly clear that the lass of life from the three Palu landslides, triggered by the earthquake in Sulawesi, is very high. In particular, the two landslides that struck main parts of the town, at Balaroa and Petobo, are thought to have exacted a terrible toll. A spokesman from Indonesia’s disaster agency, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, was quoted thus on Sunday:-\n\n“Based on reports from the (village) heads of Balaroa and Petobo, there are about 5,000 people who have not been found. Nevertheless, officials there are still trying to confirm this and are gathering data. It is not easy to obtain the exact number of those trapped by landslides, or liquefaction, or mud.”\n\nGiven the scale of the Palu landslides, and the very high number of houses involved, this level of loss is entirely possible. It is clear from the videos that the flow was highly mobile, which will have made escape from the crush of houses and debris extremely challenging, especially in a dense network of streets. The mobility of the debris will have meant that buildings will have filled with mud, even where there were voids that might have protected a person. It is therefore unsurprising that no survivors have now been recovered in a week. This AFP video shows the magnitude of the damage:-\n\nThe search for the missing will continue until Thursday; after that it is likely that the landslide sites will need to be classified as mass graves.\n\nThere is considerable confusion in the reporting as to what actually happened at Balaroa and Petobo. This is Petobo, as seen from the air:-",

"The Palu landslides: the aftermath of the Balaroa landslide. Image via The Daily Telegraph.\n\nVarious newspaper articles have described these events as being liquefaction, even nonsense such as:\n\n“Petobo, a cluster of villages in Palu, was virtually wiped out by the powerful quake and wall of water that devastated Palu. Much of it was sucked whole into the ground as the vibrations from the quake turned soil to quicksand.”\n\nIn both cases these were landslides, of that there is no doubt. The mechanism of failure might have been liquefaction, but this is just a hypothesis. The houses were not sucked into the ground, they were buried and crushed by a flow of debris coming from upslope, albeit down a very low gradient slope. Whilst this might seem academic, it is important in the context of understanding future hazards.\n\nTo understand why these slopes flowed under the effects of earthquake shaking will require detailed investigations, in due course, using field data collection, lab testing and modelling. But seismically induced flowslides are not a new phenomenon by any means, and in previous events they have caused huge numbers of fatalities."

"It’s that time of the month again and all eyes will be on the latest jobs report out of the United States on Friday at 12:30 GMT. The May figures are expected to be somewhat softer from April but no doubt still indicative of a strong economy. However, with markets strongly convinced that the Fed will have to cut rates soon, the jobs data is unlikely to alter those expectations unless there are big surprises in the data.\n\nWith some early signs that the US economy could be headed for a slowdown as the worsening trade dispute starts to bite into business confidence, the labour market so far remains very tight. But despite the decades-low unemployment rate, wage growth has been disappointingly tepid, keeping a lid on inflationary pressures.\n\nFewer jobs likely added in May\n\nThe May report is expected to underline this picture. Nonfarm payrolls are forecast to have risen by 185k in May, easing from the prior number of 263k. Anything above 100k is seen as consistent with jobs growth keeping up with population growth, meaning alarm bells won’t be ringing about the labour market until the headline figure drops below this benchmark.\n\nThe jobless rate is forecast to stay unchanged at the 49-year low of 3.6%. More significantly, average hourly earnings are expected to have increased by 0.3% month-on-month, which would keep the annual rate at 3.2%. Wage growth has eased slightly from the decade-high of 3.4% y/y reached in February in a setback for policymakers who were hoping a healthy jobs market would fuel pay increases, which in turn would drive consumer prices higher.\n\nModerate wage growth a concern for the Fed\n\nA further easing in wage growth would be a major worry for the Fed given that the central bank’s favoured inflation gauge, the core PCE price index, is already running uncomfortably below the 2% target; it stood at 1.6% y/y in April. Some would argue that alone gives the Fed a strong case to lower borrowing costs even before there’s been a notable impact from the brewing trade tensions.\n\nMarkets have clearly made up their minds, though, as Fed fund futures are pointing to as much as three 25-bps rate cuts over the next 12 months. That’s been enough to send Treasury yields spiraling downwards and the US dollar losing its safe-haven allure to plunge against its major peers.\n\nHowever, if the payrolls data impresses, giving the Fed reason to remain patient, the bulls could see grounds for a rebound. A possible important resistance level to overcome that could help ease the selling pressure is the 23.6% Fibonacci at 110.64, which is near the 50-day moving average.\n\nTraders may be cautious ahead of June Fed meeting\n\nBut with the next FOMC meeting about two weeks away, market reaction to the NFP report may be muted and investors will probably be paying more attention to what Fed officials will be signaling in their remarks in the coming days ahead of the blackout period before the meeting.\n\nSt. Louis Fed President James Bullard became the first voting FOMC member to suggest the Fed should cut rates if the trade uncertainty causes a sharper-than-expected slowdown in growth. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell gave less away when he spoke on Tuesday. However, he did indicate the Fed was ready to act “as appropriate” to the growing risks to the economy, potentially opening the way for a rate cut.",

"I’m a huge fan of Song Ji Hyo and I’ve loved all her characters in the past and still do whenever she starts a new drama or movie. I started watching Ex-Girlfriend Club Korean drama just because she was in it, and I’m glad I did. The amount of freshness she has can never be too much.\n\nAfter my fangirl start, I need to get a little more objective and state that this is a really fresh drama, out of the ordinary but, that doesn’t go very deep. You will have a good time watching it but don’t expect it to be your favorite of all times. Although the starting point is really new, the stories develop really slowly and with almost no surprises.\n\nA webtoon artist hits big with a story that talks about his ex-girlfriends. Each of them has their own characteristic personality and on this webtoon there won’t be just nice things. When they find out that the movie was being filmed, they entered his ex-boyfriend’s life once again.\n\nWhen the filming starts, he will meet an old college friend, who will end up being a producer of the movie. This peculiar bunch, along with the director and the CEO of the filming company will try to get along when the whole story sees the light.",
null,
"It’s a drama with everything we ask for but with really light relationships and dialogues, although you will probably find it entertaining, don’t expect to jump from your chair with it. Performances are all great and polished, and it’s really well directed too.\n\nThe drama has one of the most unusual original soundtracks that I’ve ever heard, gives the perfect environment for this whole awkward situations to take place, really enjoyed it! So if you’re looking for a really short story that is somehow out of the ordinary, this Ex-girlfriend club will probably be worth watching it."

"EMI has just licensed their electronica catalogue to Beatport.

"When Michael Essa–the only BMW driver in the Formula Drift paddock with an actual BMW engine–reached out to FCP Euro and LIQUI MOLY for a partnership, it was a match made in heaven.",
null,
"Essa, in his 12th year of competition with Formula Drift, runs a Porsche/BMW race shop in SoCal. FCP Euro, one of the largest online retailers of European car parts, just finished a championship-winning 2019 season racing VW GTI TCRs in TC America. LIQUI MOLY, with its extensive history in motorsports and powersports, has seen tremendous success in IMSA, TC America, Trans Am, Formula 1, MotoGP and MotoAmerica. Considering FCP Euro sells parts for Essa’s turbocharged BMW E46 M3—including all the LIQUI MOLY products he could ever need along with the S54 favorite 10W60 Race Tech GT1—the partnership was a no-brainer.\n\nThe BMW E46 M3 has proven to be a formidable chassis for Essa, despite competition from newer, more advanced cars in the field. Essa has stuck with the E46 as it suits his smooth, fast, high-angle driving style.\n\n“I love that I’m able to retain the OEM S54 engine,” Essa explains. “Some think of the S54 as an unreliable, high-maintenance powerplant, but in reality, a well-built one will last years. It’s arguably more reliable than the six-cylinder drift car go-to engine, the 2JZ.”\nBMW is FCP Euro’s most popular make, and California is its biggest market for growth. The drift community has seen FCP Euro’s own Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG drift car at events like Sonoma Drift and GRIDLIFE, but competition within Formula Drift is a whole new level.\n\n“The buzz and media coverage of Formula Drift was an arena that we couldn’t ignore any longer,” explains Michael Hurczyn, Brand Director and driver of the #71 FCP Euro GTI TCR. “We’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get ourselves involved with the series professionally. We’re especially excited to have that chance with Michael Essa this year,” he adds.\nLIQUI MOLY has sponsored numerous drifters around the globe and joining forces with FCP Euro and Michael Essa means it’ll reach even more enthusiasts.\n“This partnership will provide thousands of people the opportunity to see and experience LIQUI MOLY’s success in intense driving conditions, just as it has become a staple in daily driving, too,” explains Sebastian Ziegler, CEO of LIQUI MOLY USA.\n\nWith a winning car, a winning driver, and a winning combination of partners, Essa is on track to repeat his success from 2013. The ultimate test will be during the first round of competition on April 10 during Formula Drift Long Beach, where drivers will battle head-to-head to fight for the top spot."

"The judge in Kyle Rittenhouse’s case will allow the defense to refer to the men he shot as ‘rioters,’ ‘looters’ or ‘arsonists’ after banning the term ‘victim’ at trial.\n\nKenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder ruled that lawyers for the now-18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse will be free to the call the men the teen shot ‘rioters,’ ‘looters,’ or ‘arsonists’ at trial as long as they provide evidence, Insider reported.\n\nRittenhouse is charged with homicide and attempted homicide for fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, at a Black Lives Matter protest on August 25, 2020.",

"The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, accused of shooting three people during a protest against police brutality in Wisconsin last year, is set to begin November 1\n\nSchroeder ruled against prosecutors’ motion to prohibit Rittenhouse’s attorneys from using ‘prerogative terms’ to refer to Rosenbaum, Huber and Grosskreutz or mention their criminal history.\n\nAssistant District Attorney Thomas Binger argued that Rittenhouse’s attorneys should not be able to use the terms during trial since prosecutors will not be able to refer to the three men as ‘victims.’\n\nBut Schroeder said the two situations were not comparable and pointed out it is common for judges to ban the word ‘victim’ during trials because it could prejudice a jury against a defendant, Insider reported.\n\nSchroeder said since the three men are not on trial, Rittenhouse’s attorneys are free to describe them as ‘rioters,’ ‘looters’ or ‘arsonists’ as long as they provide evidence that the men were rioting, looting, or committing arson, Insider reported.\n\n‘He can demonize him if he wants, if he thinks he’ll score points with the jury,’ Schroeder told prosecutors, adding that in turn prosecutors themselves would be free to use terms like ‘cold-blooded killer’ to describe Rittenhouse, as long as they back it up with evidence.\n\nRittenhouse was 17 when he killed Rosenbaum and Huber at riots sparked by the police shooting of black man Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin during August 2020.",

"Rittenhouse (picrtured) was 17 when he killed Rosenbaum and Huber at riots sparked by the police shooting of black man Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin during August 2020\n\nRittenhouse’s attorneys have argued that he fired in self-defense after Rosenbaum, Huber, and Grosskreutz attacked him.\n\nThe teen’s lawyers also want the court to allow them to call, John R. Black, a self-defense expert, as a witness to back up their assertions.\n\nBlack, a former Washington County, Oregon, sheriff’s deputy, has testified in numerous state and federal cases, offering his expertise in police use of force, decision-making, crowd control, and other procedures and practices related to law enforcement.\n\nProsecutors charged Rittenhouse with multiple counts, including homicide and being a minor in possession of a firearm.\n\nHe traveled from Antioch, Illinois, on the night of the fatal shootings to help ‘protect’ the streets of Kenosha from violent protest triggered by Blake’s shooting.\n\nThe defense team for Rittenhouse previously tried, unsuccessfully, to have his previous weapons charge dismissed from his indictment.\n\nExplaining their application to have the weapons charge dismissed, Chirafisi, one of Rittenhouse’s attorneys, argued that the statute only prohibits minors from possessing short-barreled rifles.\n\nRittenhouse used an AR-style semiautomatic rifle with a 16-inch barrel the night of the shootings, according to Chirafisi.\n\nThe only other prohibitions on minors possessing firearms lie in the state’s hunting statutes, which state that children under 12 can’t hunt with guns.\n\nThat doesn’t apply to Rittenhouse because he was 17 on the night of the shootings, Chirafisi said.\n\nBinger countered that the Legislature clearly intended to bar anyone under 18 from ‘running around with a dangerous weapon’ and that the hunting statutes don’t apply because Rittenhouse wasn’t hunting on the night of the protest.\n\nSchroeder sided with Binger, but he said he might revisit the question later because the statutes aren’t clear.\n\nProsecutors also were looking for permission to introduce a video showing Rittenhouse saying he’d like to shoot some men he thought were shoplifting from a pharmacy 15 days before the protest.\n\nSchroeder said last month that he was leaning toward excluding it.\n\nThe judge wrote in a letter to the attorneys that he’s afraid people won’t fill them out and recipients would discuss the case with family members, friends and co-workers.\n\n‘That may trigger even more conversations about the case, with consequent opinion formation,’ Schroeder said.\n\nKenosha was in the throes of several nights of chaotic protests in August 2020 after a white police officer shot Blake, who is black, during a domestic disturbance, leaving Blake paralyzed from the waist down.\n\nThe officer, Rusten Sheskey, was not charged. Sheskey shot Blake seven times while Blake was about to get into an SUV.\n\nKenosha’s police chief, Daniel Miskinis, said Sheskey was found to have been acting within policy and will not be disciplined.\n\nThe shooting happened three months after George Floyd was murdered while being restrained by police officers in Minneapolis.\n\nMany conservatives flocked to support Rittenhouse, calling him a patriot for seeking to stop violent protests, making him a symbol for gun rights and raising $2million for his bail.\n\nOthers, including some liberals and activists, portrayed him as a domestic terrorist and said he made a volatile situation worse by bringing a rifle to the streets of Kenosha."

"Calling the Getty-sponsored Pacific Standard Time art and design initiative “overcompensation” and citing a source calling it “boosterish” (as the New York Times did recently) is a gasp of the shop-worn Gotham provinciality mocked so brilliantly by Saul Steinberg in his “View of the World from 9th Avenue.” It is a canard that I thought had breathed its last when the New York Times, my hometown paper, sent the astute Bernard Weinraub to Los Angeles to report on us two decades ago.\n\nSince I came to Los Angeles more than a quarter of a century ago I have known Angelenos who were guilty of the flip side of boosterism: the equally provincial view that everything is better somewhere else: i.e., you have to go to New York for “real” art. (For New Yorkers it used to be Paris.) Mega-populous New York has, of course, long been justly celebrated for its art and its architecture (well, its skyscrapers anyway), a reputation facilitated by its role as the publishing and periodical capital of the country.\n\nLos Angeles, however, matured into the economic and cultural capital of the United States west of the Hudson River so quickly and so recently that it is frequently misperceived as having no past, even by some of its own residents. Although the city has by now developed a healthy sense of itself, it took Pacific Standard Time to engender serious self-reflection of the city’s largely uncelebrated cultural heritage.\n\nIt was thanks to Pacific Standard Time that LACMA’s California Design 1930-1965: Living in a Modern Way (for which I was the consulting curator) was able to research, document and exhibit the rich underpinnings of California’s Modernism in the 1930s and its post-World War II apotheosis facilitated by the region’s unprecedented population surge during the war years and the subsequent even greater demographic boom.\n\nAnd PST enabled design historian Dave Hampton to create the extraordinary exhibition San Diego’s Craft Revolution: From Post-War Modern to California Design, a stunning celebration of creativity south of Los Angeles which, in spite of its awkward sub-title, is worth the trip to San Diego. Before I saw this beautifully designed show (twice) I knew a thing or two about craft in San Diego, then I found out that that was all I knew. Even about my long-time favorites Arline Fisch, Svetozar Radakovich and Barney Reid.\n\nBetter to have said as I did, awe-struck, as I surveyed San Diego’s Craft Revolution: “Who knew?”\n\nBill Stern is director of the Museum of California Design."

"The token burning mechanism in the cryptocurrency space is not a new invention, but it’s been in the news only recently. In fact, it was Binance Coin and Binance’s Quarterly token burn that first piqued the community’s interest and curiosity. Back in February, for instance, AMBCrypto had suggested that the burn protocol could be a key reason behind BNB’s price hike.\n\nWhile BNB’s burn has caught the limelight, other exchanges and network tokens have also taken a similar approach. We analyzed a few tokens and projects to understand if the token burning mechanism has created a fundamental change for the immediate and long-term scenarios.\n\nBinance Coin – Start with the rich and richer?\n\nThe growth of Binance as an organization has been unparalleled, only bettered by the recent recognition of Coinbase. It is one of the largest exchanges, if not ‘the’ largest exchange in terms of transaction volume. Now, Binance Coin has always been public, but it never made a glaring impact on the market, until now.\n\nBNB’s growth in 2021 saw the asset breach its previous all-time high of $40 and then register more than 10x in growth. Its market cap climbed to push BNB to 3rd on CoinMarketCap. With acquired attention, BNB’s burn protocol was valued higher as the 14th quarterly burn removed 3,619,888 BNB tokens i.e $165 million.\n\nHowever, its 15th quarterly burn was worth close to $600 million after 1,099,888 BNB’s were burned. To take a closer look at its impact on the price, we analyzed Binance Coin’s daily chart.\n\nFrom its initial 200 million supply, Binance has burned 15.74% of the tokens to date, reducing the total supply to 169,432,897 tokens. Binance’s model has outperformed all assets and if the above chart is observed, its last four quarterly burns have been positive, with the 14th quarterly burn bringing forward an astounding 1,074% hike. It is important to note that BNB’s rally has also been due to the success of Binance Smart Chain and the overall growth of DeFi. Plus, the overall trend has remained bullish in 2021.\n\nHas burning meant performance for everyone?\n\nFTX is another major exchange that practices token burn, but they commence them on a weekly basis. From a total of 350 million FTT tokens, the exchange has burned 10,976,882 FTTs, close to 3.5% of the total supply. Its buy and burn protocol is meant to create a consistent deflationary impact for future upside potential.\n\nUnlike BNB’s burn protocol, FTX’s mechanism hasn’t had the same compounding effect yet as FTT has only witnessed extreme bullish behavior in the last couple of months. Its growth can be associated with different aspects as well, which includes the increasing popularity of FTX as a reliable derivatives exchange.\n\nKyber Network is a burning protocol as well, but it slightly differs in terms of functionality as Kyber is burning KNC tokens which are part of the feed paid for a transaction on the network. According to Kyber, 70% of the fees paid are generally burned, and it could be done once a week or whenever a call is made by the Kyber team.\n\nAs Kyber does not keep a consistent record of burning fees, it is difficult to track the impact but similar to FTT, the asset has shown growth only in 2021, possibly as a result of the larger bullish trend.\n\nFinally, Huobi Exchange has actually burned the highest number of tokens since inception with over 260 million burned out of a possible 500 million HT. The current circulation is 179,285, 916 and while the compounding effect for Huobi should have kicked in way earlier, only since the start of December 2020 has Huobi witnessed a stark increase in growth. The crash in February also illustrated that, unlike Binance Coin, HT hasn’t really commanded a position near its all-time high.\n\nIn the next part of the article, we will look into projects which have executed singular token burns and evaluate the overall idealogy and possible outcome of this mechanism for existing and potential projects in the future.\n\nBitcoin: Is the market really ‘buying the dip?’"

"With Tim and Carl now gone, Mindy and Michael are stretched a bit thin trying to cover all the times we need a staff person at church. With a nod from the Admin. SLG, they began looking around for some additional help.\n\nSerendipitously, Dan showed up from Akron. On his second internship in Philly, he’d been referred to Old First from Michael’s colleague and friend, Bob, who is serving now as the designated minister at 1st/Akron… as a new young adult in town looking for a church home. Dan showed up on a Saturday when Michael happened to be covering the Saturday Morning Breakfast. As they talked, and Dan talked about all the ways he’d been involved in his home church… and “that everything in Philly was great, except for a less than ideal living arrangement,” Michael began to wonder if maybe Dan might be involved at Old First more than just a worshiper?\n\nDan will be moving in to the Fox Building and will be helping with tasks that Carl and Tim covered, and maybe a bit of help in the office too in exchange for his living space. (We promise not to overwork him!) As you will see in the intro, he provides below, he already has a 9 to 5 job, so he will mostly be around “off hours.” He will be with us at least until September.\n\nAnd Mindy and Michael are looking forward to his joining the staff team and helping out around church! They ask everyone else to welcome Dan too…\n\n“I come to Old First from First Congregational Church in Akron, Ohio. After growing up in Akron, I attended school at UMass in Amherst, MA, majoring in Sport Management with the goal of being involved in community and non-profit work in sports. I am currently interning full-time in Philadelphia for the second time with Eagles Youth Partnership, the non-profit foundation of the Philadelphia Eagles that does literacy work and vision care for school age kids around the city.\n\nI was was very involved in my home church from a young age, serving in leadership groups as a youth member and working for the church on multiple occasions.\n\nI am thrilled to be here, living and helping out at Old First — and as an involved young person in the congregation. I have already experienced the great hospitality that many of the members at Old First have provided and look forward to getting to know everyone more in the coming weeks and months.”"

"Rohit Sharma as expected has turned out to be the most prolific run-scorer for his side. Mumbai Indians owe him a lot as if it was not for his match-winning performances in the last few matches, the MI side could well have been kicked out of the tournament. And the most remarkable thing about him is that he has been able to inspire the other guys in the set-up as well.\n\nRohit’s captaincy tactics have earned him accolades from all the quarters. Rohit, the captain has transformed Rohit, the batsman significantly over the years. Now, he not only provides good starts to his side but closes out the games as well like he has done, this season as well. The Indian opener has made 383 runs in 9 matches at an average of 63 and strike-rate of 137."

"The life of Johann Friedrich Herbart is not very well known, although it should be noted that his way of educating and seeing how future adult learners should be made well adapted to the society in which they lived was somewhat advanced in his time.\n\nLet’s see the history of this psychologist and philosopher from a biography of Johann Friedrich Herbart , with the key elements of his career.\n\nJohann Friedrich Herbart was born on May 4, 1776 in Oldenburg, Germany. Due to an accident in childhood, was a child of frail health, which forced him to be educated by his mother at home until the age of 12.\n\nAfter that, he entered the “Gymnasium” (German high school) of his city for six years, during which he showed a great interest in Kant’s philosophy . Later he would continue his studies in the city of Jena, where he would study philosophy under Johann Gottlieb Fichte, with whom he would have many conflicting opinions.\n\nAfter living in Jena for three years, he began teaching the children of Herr von Steiger, who was the governor of Interlaken, Switzerland. It was from this experience that Herbart was motivated to consider how the way of teaching should be reformed .\n\nWhile still on Swiss soil, Herbart had the opportunity to meet Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, a Swiss educator who was involved in educational reforms in schools.\n\nHerbart would begin to study Greek and mathematics on his return to Germany, specifically in the city of Bremen, for three years and then go to Göttingen, where he would remain from 1801 to 1809. It was during this period that he would give his first lectures on philosophy, in the year 1805 .\n\nAfter living in Gönigsberg, he moved to Königsberg, where he directed a pedagogical seminar until 1833, when he decided to return to the previous city, where he remained until his death, working as a philosophy professor.\n\nOne anecdote about his death is that Johann Friedrich Herbart was in fairly good health even at the end of his days. In fact, only two days before he died suddenly from a stroke, he had given a lecture, the last one, and according to those present, he was in very good health.\n\nHe died on August 14, 1841, in the city of Göttingen . He was buried in the Albanifriedhof cemetery in the same city.\n\nThought and theoretical legacy of this researcher\n\nIn the following, we will look at some aspects of Johann Friedrich Herbart’s thought, all of which are closely related to his way of seeing and applying pedagogy.\n\nAccording to Herbart, the pedagogy should emphasize the connection of the child with society , promoting his development with a useful purpose for the rest of human beings. That is to say, the intellectual and moral development of the child should be done in such a way that it transforms him, with the passage of time, into an adult who feels full and useful, a productive citizen for the whole of society.\n\nAccording to Johann Friedrich Herbart, each child was born with unique potential. However, this potential would not be properly used if the child did not have the opportunity to receive a formal and regulated education, i.e. the school, and that this was well organized. Although the family and the church could transmit knowledge and values useful for daily life, only the school could guarantee a correct intellectual and moral development.\n\nWithin his educational method, Herbart considered that moral and intellectual education went hand in hand . They could not be separated and pretend to teach them properly without one depending on the other or without establishing links between the two conceptions.\n\nAccording to him, if the nature of the human mind was something unitary, how could intelligence and morality be divided? To be able to instruct the spirit, that is to say, morality, it is necessary to construct it by means of learning and the fostering of intelligence.\n\nHowever, the only way to guarantee that the educational process would be productive was to make the lessons interesting for the students . Johann Friedrich Herbart considered that it was a capital sin for the teacher to be boring and not to bother to capture the attention of his learners. Curiosity, liveliness in how classes are given, motivation and the desire to teach were extremely necessary in every lesson.\n\nHerbart goes so far as to talk about different interest rates that a person may have with respect to an object of study.\n\nIt is the interest that derives from meditation on objects that have been experienced (seen, heard, tasted…). It is of a reflective type.\n\nIt is the one that occurs when observing something that is beautiful, either natural or made by human beings. It is of an emotional type.\n\nIt is born from the immediate perception of things, without attributing to them any emotionality or reflection . It is neutral.\n\nThen would come three other types of interest that are more related to the type of human interaction that occurs between the individual and other people.\n\nThis is the interest rate that the infant shows when he or she is participating in activities with people around him or her . It can feel joy or pain, and it is the one that occurs in the sphere of family and school.\n\nIt is the one that occurs before an event in which several people are involved and in which cooperation is required.\n\nAccording to Herbart, and having a very theological vision, it would be the interest towards the human spirit and divinity, which would serve to achieve a complete life .\n\nThe education I was defending\n\nHerbart recommends getting students’ interest and spirit going, and preparing them for the new lesson. The method to be followed starts with the teacher preparing the topic in depth and seeing how it can be related to what was discussed earlier .\n\nThe teacher will then recall, with caution, the ideas presented in previous lessons, in order to get the students to establish a relationship on their own, not without first having summarized very briefly the theme of the new lesson.\n\nPhilosophical concept of the real\n\nHerbart was one of the first thinkers to be aware of the importance of psychology in teaching, considering it a fundamental science for learning and promoting children’s character.\n\nThis researcher did not agree on how the knowledge was acquired according to Kant’s vision . Kant believed that knowledge was given by studying the innate categories of thought, while Herbart considered that one learns only through the study of external things and real bodies. It’s not that they are from before, or in a world of ideas or anything like that. Herbart went so far as to say: the world is a world of things by itself, and things by themselves are perceptible.\n\nHerbart, like Locke with his tabula rasa, considered that the soul did not possess innate ideas or pre-established categories of thought , as was Kant’s opinion. The soul, considered as something real, was something passive at the beginning of its existence, being modified by external stimuli."

"Welcome back to From The Terraces, the weekly column where I choose a hot topic within the rugby league community, and discuss my opinions. This week I discuss my five mid-season picks for the 2017 Steve Prescott Man of Steel award.\n\nWell, we’re just about halfway through the regular season and I think it’s a good time to have a look at five early picks for the 2017 Man of Steel award.\n\nBefore I start to talk through my picks, there are a few players who deserve a mention having just missed out: Morgan Escaré, Joel Moon, Greg Minikin and Junior Moors are all players who I think are within a chance this year.\n\nIn my view, George Williams will be the 2017 Man of Steel. I know there’s still a long way to go and anything can happen in rugby league, but he’s the clear standout this season in a Wigan side that’s been struggling so far. If the Warriors do go on to win any more trophies this season, then he’s going to be playing a huge part of it. He’s just recently signed a new four-year deal at the club, and that should keep the NRL clubs at bay for another year or two at least. He’s been directly involved in 21 Wigan tries this season, that includes 16 assists, which is by far the most in Super League this campaign. He’s young, hungry and full of talent, it’ll be a big shock if he doesn’t go on to win the Steve Prescott Man of Steel at some stage in his career.\n\nCastleford Tigers have been superb this season and Luke Gale is playing a huge part of that. Since signing for the Tigers in 2015, Gale has had a great couple of years, growing as a player, and in recent times, the heartbeat of the Tigers success. He has already surpassed his 2016 try-tally and looks set for his most successful season as a player. His kicking game is so crucial to the Tigers, and when it gets down to those tight games later in the season, he’s going to be the difference. Castleford look to be right in the mix this season and if he continues at the rate he’s going, he could be giving them a huge helping hand to their first bit of silverware in years.\n\nAt the start of the season, not many, if any, would have chosen Matt Parcell as an early candidate for the Steve Prescott Man of Steel. He was unknown to many in Super League, having only turned professional in 2015 and having just played around 20-games in the NRL without making many waves. However, he’s come straight into this Leeds side and has made the hooking role his own. He’s been an influential player for the Rhinos this season, having scored seven tries combined with seven assists too. He’s been a real surprise package within Super League and is just what Leeds needed to left them after last year’s poor showing. The Rhinos are doing much better than they did in 2016, and Parcell is one of the reasons why.",

"Well, what an unbelievable signing Albert Kelly has been for Hull FC. Having signed from their fiercest rivals Hull KR, following their relegation last season, many didn’t know what to expect. However, he’s come in and lit up the Super League this season, scoring some quite remarkable tries. His quick feet and lightning speed have been troubling the defence of clubs all year and no one’s seemed to find a way to stop him yet. Hull FC managed to secure the half-back for another 12-months, and I’m sure their fans were delighted. Following their Challenge Cup success last season, Hull will be looking to go one further in 2017, and Albert Kelly is going to play a huge part in that.\n\nThis may be a surprise choice for many, but I don’t see how you can leave Gareth O’Brien out. Last season he single-handedly saved Salford from relegation, and now, in 2017, they’re having their best start to a Super League season in years with O’Brien playing a pivotal role. He is joint top try-scorer at Salford this season in addition to eight assists, he’s absolutely flying. Having been let go by Warrington in 2015, O’Brien is starting to make a name for himself now and has perhaps showed the Wolves they were wrong to let him go. If Salford do manage to maintain their current form and push on for a play-off spot this season, then I feel that Gareth O’Brien will be the reason why.\n\nThis concludes the 14th edition of From The Terraces. Please feel free to let me know your early picks for the 2017 Steve Prescott Man of Steel award in the comments below.",
