"Russia recognizes Libya’s NTC, hopes its contracts will be honored\n\nRussia recognized Libya’s ruling interim council as the country’s legitimate authority on Thursday, moving to increase its influence on postwar reconstruction and protect its economic interests in the oil-producing North African nation.\n\n“The Russian Federation recognizes the National Transitional Council (NTC) as the current authorities,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said on its website, www.mid.ru.\n\nRussia, which has been critical of NATO’s operations in Libya, announced its decision as leaders and envoys from world powers and international bodies gathered in Paris to coordinate Libya’s political and economic reconstruction.\n\nMoscow had billions of dollars’ worth of arms, energy and infrastructure deals with Libya under its deposed leader Muammar Qaddafi, and Russian officials have expressed concern they could be lost in the transition.\n\n“We proceed from the position that all previously agreed treaties and other mutual obligations ... will be implemented in good faith,” the Foreign Ministry said.\n\nRussia allowed Western military intervention in Libya to go ahead by abstaining from a UN Security Council resolution vote in March, but then repeatedly accused NATO forces carrying out air strikes of overstepping their mandate to protect civilians and of siding with anti-Qaddafi forces in the civil war.\n\nPresident Dmitry Medvedev, however, joined Western nations in urging Qaddafi to give up power and made clear he could not seek refuge in Russia.\n\nNonetheless, some in Libya have signaled that the new authorities could slight nations like Russia and China in favor of those that gave more support to Qaddafi’s foes.
Russia’s representative at the Paris talks, Medvedev’s special Africa envoy Mikhail Margelov, said he was confident that would not happen.\n\n“I don’t think the new government of Libya will start off by evaluating contracts with Russia on political rather than technical and economic criteria,” the Interfax news agency quoted Margelov as saying.\n\nLast week, Medvedev called for talks between Qaddafi’s backers and opponents, and suggested that Russia would recognize the NTC if it was able to “unite the country for a new democratic start.”
The Foreign Ministry statement on Thursday urged the council to carry out its “declared reform program, which calls for the development of a new constitution, the holding of general elections and the formation of a government.”"

"On Thursday, Efton Reid entered the transfer portal just weeks after LSU head coach Will Wade was fired from the program.\n\nReid, a former Pitt target, averaged 6.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game this season in his freshman campaign down in Baton Rouge. The former five star prospect is from Virginia, and attended IMG Academy for his senior year.\n\nReid’s initial recruitment was known to be very confusing, as his mother delayed his commitment multiple times and not many people knew which schools he was favoring. Just weeks before he ended up deciding, Pittsburgh Sports Now learned that he was down to Ohio State, LSU, and Pitt for his decision.\n\nThen, once he did decide to commit to LSU, PSN learned that Reid had informed Jeff Capel and his staff that he would be verbally committing to Pitt, however, he never followed through and eventually chose the Tigers. For LSU, Reid scored in double digits seven times this season, scoring a season-high 16 in the season opener against Louisiana Monroe. He shot 52% from the field this season, and 25% from three-point range.\n\nI hope LSU didn’t pay too much for him, since they only got one season out of him.\n\nwonder if mom will be holding out again for the highest bidder?\n\nHe’s not worth the headache. I doubt he has any idea what being a grown up is unless his mother tells him. He was supposed to be this great 5 star recruit and only scored 7 points and 4 boards a game. He thought he was going to be 1 and done. Over hyped by his mother.\n\nPitt will look very foolish if they try to recruit him after what happened the first time.\n\nIn principle, I agree. But if he reaches out, said I made a mistake, and I’d like to play for you coach, I would bring him on board if I was Capel. A frontcourt with Reid and Hughley would solidify the paint and then Pitt can focus on a PG and shooters. Idk that I make the first contact if I’m Capel though.\n\nAny time you want to compare academic credentials I’m game. You pathetic loser.\n\nSome of you are pretty funny. Pitt has one player. That’s it. If this guy wants to come to this dumpster fire and play, Coach Nepotism should welcome him with open arms.\n\nNot surprising he wants to leave given the WW situation. I didn’t get to see him play but wow, he was less than 20 mpg. didn’t think the tigers were that stacked. also ft% is less than 50%. looks like he needs to develop more. not sure Pitt is the right place for him at this point.\n\nAre you all kidding me in todays BB??? You take him! This is a no brainer.\nThe kid was strong armed by desperate for money family members and a corrupt LSU STAFF."

"In 1983, Andy Warhol parlayed his lifelong interest in animals into a series of ten screenprints he called “Endangered Species.” The portfolio was produced at the behest of a pair of New York art dealers, Ronald and Frayda Feldman, who became interested in the idea of such a project in the wake of their numerous conversations with Warhol concerning ecological issues such as beach erosion. The brightly colored prints with their vigorous, erratic linear delineation—“animals in make-up,” as Warhol described them—depict animals such as a giant panda, a Grevy’s zebra, a bald eagle, and a Siberian tiger, all envisioned majestically and yet betraying a poignant resignation to their fate.\n\nHere, Andy Warhol brought his distinctive Pop sensibility and style to bear on a resonant subject, suffusing each of the portfolio’s ten plates with vivid color and using his characteristic linear reiteration to imbue them with power and energy. Warhol contrasted this dynamism with the natural grace and humble pride of his animal subjects.\n\nEach “Endangered Species” screenprint is 38 by 38” unframed, and was printed by Rupert Jasen Smith, New York."

The brand-new item is anticipated to make getting direct exposure to BTC simpler than before for both retail and institutional financiers. It is set to release this November.\n\nSimilarly, Goldman Sachs are still checking out ways to bring both a trading desk and a custody option to market. These 2 advancements from such a recognized name will certainly motivate self-confidence among other banks that bitcoin is not going to vanish whenever quickly.\n\nIn addition, there appears to be substantial interest originating from the customers of monetary heavyweights Morgan Stanley andCitigroup Both remain in the procedure of releasing futures and acquired items surrounding BTC.

The upgrade ought to enable bitcoin to manage a far higher number of deals when the next bull run does start.\n\nThroughout the 2017 market rise, a great deal of doubt was cast over the functionality of the bitcoin procedure since costs soared at the exact same time as the cost did. This was definitely accountable for numerous checking out alt-coin markets given that they believed bitcoin would stay too costly for useful usage.\n\nThere’s a lot going on and any among these occasions might supply the driver to send out costs upwards in a significant method. Together, it appears more of a case of when instead of if bitcoin will exceed its existing all-time high.

"TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — As Taiwan prepares to launch its shortened \"3+4\" quarantine scheme on Wednesday (June 15), the government is reportedly considering ending quarantine with a \"0+7\" formula by September.\n\nOn Saturday (June 11), Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) head Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) announced that Taiwan will be shortening its mandatory quarantine for arriving passengers from the current \"7+7\" plan to a \"3+4\" formula starting on Wednesday (June 15). However, one of the caveats listed by Chen was that starting on that date, the number of passengers allowed to enter the country per week will be limited to 25,000.\n\nOn Monday (June 13), UDN cited a government official familiar with the matter as saying many of Taiwan's diplomatic personnel stationed overseas have complained that Taiwan's quarantine policy is too strict. According to the source, if the three-day quarantine goes smoothly, the CECC is expected to evaluate whether the quarantine formula can be changed to \"0+7\" after two infection cycles of 14 days each, roughly one month.\n\nUnder this program, inbound passengers would be exempted from quarantine and instead immediately begin seven days of self-health monitoring. The official estimated that the CECC will make an announcement about the end of quarantine in August and that the policy would go into effect in September.\n\nThe source stated that over the past two weeks, the local outbreak has hit a plateau, causing the CECC to feel great pressure to announce the relaxation of the quarantine rules. In addition, local tour agencies and overseas embassies have been complaining about the difficulties people have coming in and out of the country.\n\nChen reportedly kept the timing of the announcement on the three-day quarantine a secret, with only high-level officials and a small number of core aides knowing about the plan before it was made public. This is a departure from the past when such new policy announcements would have been shown as \"confidential\" information to legislators in advance.\n\nAt a press conference on Monday (June 13), CECC Deputy Head Chen Tsung-yen (陳宗彥) was asked by the media whether the quarantine plan will be changed to \"0+7\" in the near future. Chen responded by saying that \"3+4\" is just about to begin and that the center will conduct a comprehensive assessment of border control, community monitoring, and the pandemic, but claimed, \"there is no so-called timetable.\"",

"FCC takes another look at spectrum for drones\n\nThe Federal Communications Commission is taking a fresh look at a proceeding that asks the agency to set aside a spectrum allocation for the operation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, in the 5 GHz range.\n\nThe agency is revisiting a 2018 petition by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), which asked the FCC to establish licensing and service rules for dynamic, short-term access to Control and Non-Payload Communications (CNPC) links at 5030-5091 MHz. The original AIA request was primarily focused on line-of-sight (LOS) drone operations, the FCC noted, and now the agency wants to take into how use cases for drones — including those beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) — have evolved in the past few years, and how they are likely to change in the future, as it thinks about how to proceed with setting aside spectrum.\n\n“Realizing the full potential benefits of UAS and safely integrating these growing UAS operations into the nation’s airspace will … require access to licensed spectrum and appropriate service rules,” the agency said in the public notice for the renewed comment period on the proceeding. “While UAS communications have primarily relied on unlicensed access to spectrum, some UAS proponents assert that licensed spectrum will increasingly be needed to provide both the spectrum capacity to support future growth and the reliability needed for safe operations to protect life and property in circumstances such as flights in populated areas or beyond-line-of-sight. … While UAS operations have in the past been predominantly LOS, there is growing interest in and exploration of BLOS operations, such as for package delivery, mapping, search-and-rescue, long-range infrastructure inspections, and surveillance flights.”\n\nThe FCC wants input on both the existing AIA proposal and other options that would support current and future uses of UAS, including , on implementing a dynamic frequency management system for drones, possibly using a Spectrum Access System similar to how the CBRS band is managed, and what the size and terms of licenses for drones should look like. The agency also wants to know more about related standards work for UAS spectrum and asks commenters to note any technical limitations that would be necessary in the band to protect the neighboring AeroMACS bands at 5000-5030 MHz and 5091-5150 MHz.\n\nFCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks, who had recently requested that the agency take action to establish rules governing UAS in licensed spectrum, said he was pleased to see the notice move forward.\n\n“While the issues are complex and will require careful work with our federal partners at the FAA and NTIA, I’m hopeful that the new round of comments will allow the Commission to address the full spectrum needs of UAS and enable this important industry to fulfill its full potential,” Starks said in a statement."

"Tributes have continued to pour in for Yinka Odumakin, the former spokesperson of the socio-cultural organization for the Yoruba people of Nigeria, Afenifere, who passed away on April 2, due to Covid-19 complications.\n\nMr Odumakin, a rights activist, who was born on the 10th December 1966, passed away “on Saturday morning at the intensive care unit of LASUTH where he was being managed for respiratory issues due to complications from COVID-19 which he had recovered from about a week ago.\n\nJoe Okei-Odumakin, the wife of the deceased has been receiving condolences from all across the country.\n\nDr Okei-Odumakin, an activist in her own right, stated in a press statement that burial arrangement would be made known to the public.\n\nThe president’s speech made known by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, states that “Odumakin was also spokesman to the then Gen Buhari in 2011, when he ran for President on the platform of Congress for Progressive Change, now defunct.\n\n“The President recalls Odumakin as dutiful, and a person of conviction, expressing sorrow at his demise, when he had a lot more to contribute to society and the nation at large.\n\n“President Buhari prays God to grant repose to the soul of the departed activist, and comfort all those who mourn him.”\n\nA former Governor of Lagos, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom Mr Odumakin often disagreed with, described him as “the true definition of the citizen.”\n\nAsiwaju Tinubu is rumored to be seeking the highest office in 2023, but Mr Odumakin did not support this bid. Despite their disagreement, the APC leader in Lagos, said: “Odumakin never held public office. But he has been a constant feature and part of our public consciousness over the last two decades of this unbroken democratic dispensation. He epitomized the true definition of the citizen; a patriot who was ever conscious of the fact that his life could not be complete or his humanity meaningful if he did not take an active interest in and join likeminded fellow citizens in seeking always to promote the common good of his community and country.”\n\nMr Odumakin, has passed on at a time of agitation within the country. A few individuals are calling for the creation of Oduduwa nation – an independent country for people of Yoruba descent.\n\nThis paper is not sure if Asiwaju Tinubu is in support of the plot, although, some senior politician believe he is and may be using the agitation to further his ambition for President in 2023."

"Boy, we get ourselves into a frenzy every four years, don’t we? By “we” I mean Americans and by “frenzy” I’m talking about the our shared and increasingly destructive quadrennial experience that turns friends into foes, normally pleasant people into rabid haters (or at least Facebook de-frienders), and polarizes our country to the point that we struggle to talk about the candidates civilly, let alone the issues.\n\nDuring the last presidential election season, I asked my readers to back up from the battle over candidates and examine instead their values around certain issues. And then match those values to what a range of candidates say about and how they have voted on such issues. OnTheIssues.org has configured a way to compare your values with those of various candidates (wider than the handful we are now down to).\n\n(Let me take a moment to thank those of you who answered my four values questions last week. I enjoyed learning what you believe and why you believe it. I have finally added my own response.\n\nYour turn to take the vote match quiz\n\nGo ahead. There are 20 quick questions over four broad topics: Individual Rights, Domestic Issues, Economic Issues and Defense/International Issues. It shouldn’t take you longer than a minute or two.\n\nFor each issue, you can click to get clarification, as I did when I needed to know what was meant by “family values” being taught in public schools. Sometimes we throw terms around without having a common understanding of them. I mean, I want my family’s values taught in schools, but maybe not that family’s. For this question I clicked and found that it meant “Strongly Support means you believe: Judeo-Christian values are American values” and “Strongly Oppose means you believe: Separation of church and state precludes allowing school prayer.” I could also see the points in between the two stronglies and select where I most closely fit.\n\nMy top two matches and a few surprises\n\nAs in 2008, there were some surprises on how my VoteMatch test turned out. My guiding principle is freedom, both personal an economic, so there was no surprise in my top-matching candidates — Gary Johnson (60% match) and Ron Paul — except perhaps in the order they turned up. But I was surprised that Hilary Clinton matched me 2 percentage points better than Mitt Romney (mostly due to social issues) and that Barack Obama and Paul Ryan were tied at a 35% match to my values (though if economic issues were weighted more, Ryan would have had a higher score with me). And guess what? Sarah Palin was at the bottom of my list (18%). Not what you’d necessarily expect from someone who is still a registered Republican.\n\n(And no, I don’t identify any better with the Democratic party. Neither major party seems to value or protect our economic and personal freedoms.)\n\nSo, who are your top two candidates and what surprises came up in your results?\n\nIf you’re a political junkie, you can also plot yourself on the Nolan Chart. Where do you fall?",

"The Franklin County varsity boys soccer team opened their 2021-22 season with an 8-4 victory on the road last week over Jefferson County on Nov. 9.\n\nCoach Bill McCullough’s squad was hoping to make it a second straight win, as they hosted the Tigers Tuesday, Nov. 16.\n\n“It was a great match to start our season,” said McCullough. “Jefferson County has a very talented roster and a strong coach. They will be a challenging opponent from start to finish this season for many teams.\n\n“We took our lumps early in this match,” said the coach. “Our lack of practice time this winter really showed in the early minutes. We gave up our first goal on a quick free kick by Jefferson County. They noticed that we weren’t ready and took advantage. We traded goals for most of the first half and went to the break down 3-2.\n\n“I knew we would have some issues on set pieces and situational awareness moments, simply because we haven’t had the practice time that most programs have had,” McCullough said. “During the half, we made some adjustments and moved two or three guys around to really fit our personnel better.”\n\nThe coach said junior Reece Juno and eighth-grader Enrique Dominguez showed that they will be strong anchors for the Seahawk defense this season.\n\nDively ended the night by scoring six goals. “Gideon is a special breed of player, and he will be a tough matchup for any team we come across,” said the coach.\n\nMcCullough said juniors Brayden McCall and Will Luberto, both newcomers, “showed incredible poise and willingness to work hard all night. Freshman goal Keeper Garyson Millender had some strong moments and we look forward to him leading from the net.”\n\nMillender had six saves minding the new, while Ramirez, as well as junior Eugenio Sebastian each scored one goal.\n\nHe walked the walk"

"I write this post with caution and care for the issue of Germanwings flight 4U9525 is such a sensitive one and behind it all are hundreds of families in deep mourning.\n\nWhile clearly, death and destruction hold a certain fascination for us, I do also believe that certain circumstances call upon us to exercise restraint, particularly in the reporting of sensational news, such as this.\n\nI am particularly concerned given that behind this horrific, tragic, unfathomable incident there seems to be a serious case of mental illness. Having personally been touched by suicide twice, I have first-hand experience of how difficult, for want of a better word, it is for those left behind to grapple with the reality of what has happened.\n\nTwo dear friends chose suicide as their way to exit this world. A German friend took his own life over 15 years ago and I found out because his then-girlfriend found my address in his personal belongings and mailed me his obituary notice, in German. I thought it was a wedding invitation before I opened the envelope and saw his name on a white card surrounded by a thick black border.\n\nA dear Italian friend passed away just shy of one year ago and I collapsed on the floor when a mutual friend called to tell me the devastating news. My love for this human being was pure and deep, my admiration for him knew no bounds, so much so that a deciding factor in choosing my son’s name was this very man’s own. I couldn’t and still cannot begin to understand how he clearly didn’t see himself the way I did. Worse still, was knowing that he felt there was no other way out, that he couldn’t share his emptiness, that he felt so alone in that moment that he didn’t stop to think for a moment before he jumped. I miss him every day till today. I will continue to till the day I exit this scene.\n\nMy friends died alone, they took no-one with them.\n\nSo I cannot help but wonder how unwell the pilot of that Germanwings flight must have been to have not only proceeded to kill himself in what seems to be a cool and detached manner, but to have done so while murdering so many others.\n\nDo we really need to know that his supposed-girlfriend is pregnant in all this? Really? Is this the type of information this ‘story’ should be focusing on?\n\nOne thought on “The dark deep recesses of the mind”"

He leads the Broncos with 281 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. He also leads the team in carries with 65.\n\nBroncos players had the last three days off after their game against the New England Patriots, originally scheduled for this past Sunday, then postponed one day, was moved to this coming Sunday. Gordon, along with several teammates, voiced their displeasure on social media over losing their bye week after a New England player tested positive for COVID-19."

"The Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS), recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the official international governing body for all things roller sports, has released the first version of its rules of roller derby. They officially go into effect on January 1, 2017.\n\nThe move comes ahead of the ramp-up to the organization’s first combined world championships, the World Roller Games, taking place this September in Nanjing, China. Along with those of inline speed, rink hockey, artistic skating, and many other skating disciplines, the Roller Games will feature the first recognized world championship of roller derby—played under FIRS roller derby rules.\n\n“The first edition of the International Rules of Roller Derby will be used in all official competitions under the Olympic Movement, including the rules for the 2017 World Roller Games and future events in which the sport gets accepted as a discipline,” said FIRS in a press release.\n\nThis means that FIRS roller derby, like USARS roller derby, will feature fast gameplay in the derby-only direction, pivot breaks that encourage tight competition during all scoring passes, dynamic lead jammer status, and other rules that help ensure that simultaneous offensive and defensive engagement happens during all moments of a jam.\n\nThe new rules come despite the sport already having an established international rule set (and governing body), that of the WFTDA. However, FIRS has specific intentions with its version of the game, going places the WFTDA is currently not willing or able to go.\n\nAs things stand now, any and all international roller derby competitions within the Olympic Movement must be sanctioned by FIRS, since FIRS is the only governing body currently recognized by the IOC to organize these competitions. The Roller Games are one such event, as are various Continental and World Games.\n\nWith FIRS being an international governing body, it is only focusing on international competitions not currently featuring roller derby. After the fallout of the WFTDA “slow derby” era, which drove away many fans,1Some might argue that the “slow derby” era is still ongoing. FIRS feels that its different rule set may be just what the sport needs to reach out to new audiences through these high-exposure competitions.\n\n“We acknowledge that most teams at this moment play under different rules, but we have observed first hand that the small differences between rulesets represent an easy transition for officials and athletes,” the press release continues. “We firmly believe that the new International Rules promote a safe and dynamic version of the sport that will help grow the visibility of roller derby to a broad range of audiences worldwide.”\n\nAfter the rules were published, Regueiro took to Facebook to comment on the position of FIRS and address some of the community’s concerns.\n\n“For the rules, it has never been a secret that FIRS accepted to adopt the USARS rules with modifications to apply to the world instead of just the USA,” he said in a Facebook comment. “This was after WFTDA rejected the fact that FIRS is the officially recognized IGB.”\n\n(The WFTDA met with FIRS in early 2015 to discuss their respective positions on roller derby governance. There was much disagreement on both sides, leading to the WFTDA to seek IOC recognition on its own. For the complete details on this meeting, read our exclusive report, here.)\n\n“This is also after both rules were shown side by side to the leadership of FIRS and to the Organizing Committee of the Roller Games, who all decided to adopt the style where players would continuously move forward and skate fast.\n\n“You know which one that is.”\n\nRegueiro also alluded to the fears that FIRS would require national skating federations to adopt their roller derby rules over those of the WFTDA.\n\n“We will NOT impose the International Rules for national competition,” he said. “All the teams playing the WFTDA rules and seeking ranking with them, and who at the same time are members of their Federation will not be forced by FIRS to play under any specific rules.”\n\nHe concluded, “this will allow all derby organizations to continue their growth, which is in my opinion what we all should want.”\n\nThis hands-off approach on the national level dovetails with the FIRS derby rule book itself. The very first page says that “National Federations have discretion to decide the date of implementation at national level.” Existing countries with ties to FIRS and that have established roller derby programs under the WFTDA banner are free to adopt FIRS rules any time or create national teams to enter in competitions that use them, but nothing compels them to do so.\n\nBasically, FIRS will only be enforcing use of its rules at the international competitions it sanctions. However, this is still something of a problem for FIRS, given that it currently has next to no teams or officials experienced in their usage. That’s an even bigger problem now that the Roller Games are only nine months away.\n\nFIRS thinks that’s still enough time to get new countries up to speed. Along with the rules publications (available here) FIRS will be organizing rules clinics in “several locations” around the world this year. Online seminars and tests are also in the works, to help interested parties get familiar with the FIRS way of roller derby “at their own pace.”\n\nWhether this plan will be enough for FIRS to assemble a credible turnout of men’s and women’s roller derby teams in China this September for the World Roller Games is still not clear, but at least we now have some idea of just what that plan looks like.\n\nMore pertinent for us, we now know what FIRS rules look like. As we do with every ruleset of significance, Roller Derby Notes will put FIRS roller derby rules under the microscope with a full analysis. Look for that next month, and stay with us all year as we keep a critical eye on the FIRS roller derby program."

"Jaime Rodríguez, a.k.a. “El Bronco,” is the frontrunner in the race for governor of the border state of Nuevo Leon, a major economic hub and home to the third-largest metropolitan area in Mexico.\n\nJust a few years ago, such an insurgent candidacy was not even possible. A constitutional change in 2012 allowed candidates to run as independents in Mexico, a major shift for a country that was governed by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for most of the past century. Many people say it is no coincidence that an independent is leading in some polls in a key state at a time when corruption scandals have rocked the national government and many people are searching for alternatives.\n\nInitially, Rodriguez gained fame in his state primarily by staying alive. During his time as mayor of the suburb of Garcia, from 2009 to 2012, drug-war violence had transformed the Monterrey area from an industrial metropolis known for its wealth into one of the country’s deadliest urban centers. After Rodriguez was elected, his 22-year-old son — one of his six children — was abducted and killed. Rodriguez said his 2-year-old daughter was also briefly kidnapped. He was one of numerous municipal officials in Mexico targeted by traffickers; he survived at least two assassination attempts, including one in which he said gunmen riddled his car with bullets.\n\nThe elections are scheduled for Sunday, June 7.\n\nLeopoldo speaks through the cracks\n\nFor the first time in more than a year, Leopoldo Lopez spoke to Venezuelans in a video smuggled out of Ramo Verde prison. In it, he announced the beginning of a hunger strike, calling Venezuelans to take to the streets this coming Saturday.\n\nTranscript in English at the link above; here’s the subtitled YouTube,\n\n. . . there is a bigger challenge. This one is to the citizens. Be you chavista or non chavista if you are tired of lines, crime, corruption and lack of future it is time for you, el pueblo, to express it, in unison.\n\nThe economy:\nVenezuela: Running on Fumes?\n\nVenezuela: No Rule of Law, Bad Money and a 335% inflation rate:\n\nParallel Rate Soars: Whose Fault Is It?\n\nRT reports in Spanish that ISIS is threatening South American heads of state, starting with the presidentas of Chile and Argentina:\n\n(My translation: “The Satans Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, [Argentina’s Federal Police Chief] Román Di Santo and now Bachelet, (…) are direct targets for heading countries that clash against our goals”, reads a paragraph. Another excerpt asserts: “The blood that will be shed by the infidels is Islam’s success on a world level. We are at the start of a new era,” reports ‘La Razón’. )\n\nAccording to Clarín, Kirchner received three prior threats last year.",

"In nearly a dozen Republican-dominated states, either the governor or conservative legislators are seeking to add work requirements to Obamacare Medicaid expansion, much like an earlier generation pushed for welfare to work.\n\nThe move presents a politically acceptable way for conservative states to accept the billions of federal dollars available under Obamacare, bringing health care coverage to millions of low-income people. But to the Obama administration, a work requirement is a non-starter, an unacceptable ideological shift in the 50-year-old Medicaid program and a break with the Affordable Care Act’s mission of expanding health care coverage to all Americans. The Health and Human Services Department has rejected all requests by states to tie Medicaid to work.\n\nBut the idea is catching fire among Republicans —and may well resonate on the presidential campaign trail in 2016.\n\nIn Indiana, Florida, Utah, and at least eight other GOP-dominated states, either the governor or state lawmakers have sought to tie Medicaid to work. Supporters see it as a way of taming a health care entitlement they regard as excessively costly and riddled with fraud and abuse.\n\nArkansas’ Asa Hutchison is one GOP governor who is striving to find a way to keep the millions of dollars flowing to his state under its version of expansion — now covering around 230,000 people — amid demands of conservatives. He’s open to a work requirement.\n\n“This is supposed to be an incentive and encouragement for people to work versus an incentive for people to just receive the government benefit and not be part of a working culture of Arkansas,” Hutchison told POLITICO during a recent interview about Medicaid in the state Capitol.\n\nDo they not know how many people on Medicaid ALREADY WORK?

"Why CrossFit Will Never Just Cool It With the American Swing\n\nCrossFit will never not do the American swing. It fits their math, so it’s going to be done. But that doesn’t mean you have to do it.",
null,
"When CrossFit, Inc. posted a link to this article on their Facebook page, a minor firestorm erupted. Minor, meaning mostly people from the RKC community, who are generally annoyed by CrossFit’s bastardization of their sport, spoke up that the logic presented by Greg Glassman that “a higher swing means more work accomplished” is flawed.\n\nI’d like to explore several angles to this issue, including whether the America swing itself is valuable or a waste of energy and why the two sides are so vehement in their respective positions, as well as offer some thoughts about the use of kettlebells in CrossFit in general.\n\nCrossFit has been very good at absorption. It’s like 1958’s The Blob, the plot of which is described as, “an alien lifeform consumes everything in its path as it grows and grows.” CrossFit has done just that, absorbing pieces of fitness from everywhere and repackaging them as its own. This includes weightlifting, kettlebells, self defense, running, and much more. In general, this is a good thing.\n\nThe problem lies when CrossFit envelops a sport or movements from a sport steeped in rich history and tradition, with rigid rules and techniques, and then pukes all over them in the name of speed and intensity.\n\nWeightlifting is a good example. In the weightlifting world, pressing out a lift is general cause for red lights (a “no-rep” in CrossFit parlance). People who are loyal to the sport of weightlifting are appalled by CrossFit’s application of the word “snatch” and that we give credit for reps such as those where athletes drop to their knees to save a lift (dumb) or fight a missed lift with the world’s most hideous press-out (also dumb).\n\nSimilarly, with kettlebells, there is a history, a method, and what some might describe as a beauty in a properly executed kettlebell swing. So, when CrossFittters go and bastardize those swings, it pisses off the RKC folks, whether the particular swing might be good, bad, ugly, pretty, or injurious. You may as well have painted a kangaroo into the background of da Vinci’s The Last Supper. (Monty Python fans, you’re welcome)\n\n“The problem lies when CrossFit envelops a sport or movements from a sport steeped in rich history and tradition, with rigid rules and techniques, and then pukes all over them in the name of speed and intensity.”\n\nOn the other side of the argument, many CrossFitters claim ownership of these newly crafted movements without any real regard to their value because, well, CrossFit says so. When you read some of the disputed article and see words like, “uniqueness of line of action,” “irreducibility,” “While admitting a penchant for iconoclasm, we are not contrary solely for the sake of being contrary. Rational foundations for our programming, exercises, and technique are fundamental to CrossFit’s charter,” you can’t help but be impressed. (I had to look up “irreducibility” to at least get myself some context.)\n\nBut while “uniqueness of line of action” and “irreducibility” sound impressive, the words mean little to the majority of people. We are simply being dazzled. So instead of doing any real analysis of the value of the overhead swing, we take CrossFit’s word for it. “Hey! It’s irreducible, alright? Get that goddamn thing over your head!”",
null,
"Let’s look at CrossFit’s reasons for swinging overhead. The first stated reason is:\n\nSo CrossFit considers a Russian swing a half rep. There’s one of the reasons you have the RKC community ruffled, guys.\n\nUsing that logic, CrossFitters would never deadlift. Rather, they should sumo deadlift high pull the bar every time they touch it. Better yet, just execute a narrow grip snatch every time you touch the bar because that’s the way to “lengthen the line of travel of any movement” as the article justifies.\n\n“The goal is not always simply to ‘do more work.’ And you’ll never convince a powerlifter deadlifting 750lbs that he is only doing a ‘half rep.'”\n\nThe problem with this argument is that it disregards the purpose for a particular exercise. For example, the reason you practice a deadlift is different than the reason you practice a snatch. You’re not just looking for the longest possible range of motion. Deadlifts can be trained as a piece of the snatch or as their own end-goal. There are multiple variations of a deadlift, all of which serve different and varied purposes. The goal is not always simply to “do more work.” And you’ll never convince a powerlifter deadlifting 750lbs that he is only doing a “half rep.”\n\nBut that’s the difference between CrossFit and other sports in a nutshell. Other sports, in general, seek to execute the task specific to their sport. In weightlifting, everything is done in furtherance of the goal of executing a three-white-light snatch at the highest possible level. Snatch pulls, squats, Romanian deadlifts, good mornings, you name it, are all done in support of that single execution of technique.\n\nIn CrossFit, the goal is simple: more work. That is the technique. That is the execution of the test. So everything CrossFit does is done in furtherance of that goal – to perform more work. As such, any RKC argument that the “purpose of the kettlebell swing is to develop ballistic hip power” falls on deaf ears. That’s not what CrossFitters are interested in. They are only interested in how to do more work (in less time). They’re not training pieces of movements; they’re working. And they don’t care about your sport’s protocol. They really don’t.",
null,
"But CrossFit, as a training methodology as expressed in a mathematical formula fails to take some nebulous variables into account – namely, goals. So when it comes to the American kettlebell swing, we see this formula:\n\nThe bottom line is that for this formula (and for CrossFit’s substantiating formula) to be accurate, you simply must start with “W.” This means you need to move the heaviest possible weight the farthest or highest. That is CrossFit’s entire justification for the American swing as outlined in the referenced article, aside from that half-rep nonsense.\n\nThe upshot of this is that CrossFit will never not do the American swing, so we can all stop talking about it. It fits their math, so it’s going to be done. You can do more “work” with the American swing, and they have the anecdotal tables of data to prove it.\n\nYou Have a Choice\n\nHere’s where I have an issue, though. There must, as some point on the matrix, be a place where W/T=P(I) crosses with Goals (G). That point in the matrix is the point at which the risk of injury becomes unacceptable.\n\nMore succinctly, you have to weigh the value of a particular movement against your goals. The value of a particular movement is its ability to provide the desired response, taking risk into consideration. In the case of the American swing, perhaps you can make the argument that more work is being done, the net result of which gets you “intensity.” But can you get the same level of intensity, the same ultimate power output, by doing Russian swings and not put your shoulders at risk?\n\nAbsolutely. Why not make up the alleged “loss of work” somewhere else? If the workout is kettlebells and burpees and you choose to do Russian swings but turn up the heat on the burpees – by resting less, going a little faster, or wearing a vest – can you, in theory, do as much “work” while keeping the swings from causing an uncomfortable shoulder impingement overhead? Yes."

"Ruslan Katchiev together with the music publishing company “Zvuk-M” presents a novelty - a clip for the song “Tilek”!\n\nThe video shows the most beautiful parts of Karachay-Cherkessia: the Bermamyt Plateau and the Gum-Bashi Pass. These picturesque places were not chosen by chance, for example, the amazing panoramic platform Bermamyt offers a stunning view to the viewer, and there, at the top of the ridges, stands the main character, Ruslan Katchiev, “pronouncing” his prayer for his native land, for the old people and children, for peace and good, because \"Tilek\" translates as \"prayer.\"\n\n“The plot of the clip should have corresponded to the name,” says Ruslan, “and when we met with the future director and scriptwriter Arthur Naimanov from 2artmedia, we were so carried away by the discussion of the idea, we were so inspired by it that we ourselves did not notice how it was by dawn ended up in Bermamyt! Just took the car and went to see the location. Of course, they fit us perfectly, Elbrus is visible there in full view! ”\n\nBut if everything was solved easily and simply with locations, then in terms of the selection of actors, we had to face one problem - they could not find a girl to play a female role. Then one of the film crew joked that Ruslan should marry and use his wife in this. Jokes jokes, and that's exactly what happened. During the time that the video was being shot, the actor really managed to find a bride for himself, to marry and have his spouse in the video.\n\n“These shots were very memorable. The atmosphere was amazing, we always made each other laugh at breaks, but everyone approached the work very responsibly. Here we are especially grateful to our dancers - Romazan Ertuyev and Aidar Shamanov, the performer of the role of grandfather - Dommay Salpagarov and his granddaughter Ali, little Amirina, the daughter of my friend, who is scripted in a cradle and, of course, the 2artmedia team, which made the video not just beautiful, but also sincere, warm, ”says Ruslan.\n\nTo achieve this effect, the team worked on the video for a whole year, and what came out of it in the end, you can see right now. Also the clip \"Tilek\" is available on YouTube channel \"Sound-M\".",

"As I mentioned earlier, somebody sued Apple earlier this month claiming that the electronic assistant \"Siri\" who lurks in each iPhone 4S does not work as advertised. Two weeks later – but only a day or two after the first lawsuit was reported – two other guys made basically the same claims in the same court:\n\nAt least this is more than just a cut-and-paste job based on the first lawsuit. That does sometimes happen as people rush to jump on the bandwagon; I've seen complaints where the prior plaintiff's name still appears in the complaint, because the lawyers just changed the names in the caption and didn't bother to proofread the thing before filing it. (Oops!) This is not one of those cases, but the allegations are basically the same as in Fazio.",

"It's not impossible that this is entirely coincidental. Like Frank Fazio, Balassone and Swartzman may also have bought their phones based on Apple's alleged representations that Siri can do anything you ask her, \"promptly realized\" after the purchase that this is not in fact true, taken some time to investigate the matter and locate an attorney willing to assist them and all others similarly situated, and just happened to file about the same time that news broke of the first lawsuit. Could have happened.\n\nOr their lawyers may have seen the news and recruited the first couple of yokels who came walking by their office. (In Silicon Valley, even the yokels have the latest iPhone.) Only time will tell.\n\nI did read the complaint and asked Siri all the questions that Balassone and Swartzmen allege she screwed up for them, except for the questions involving their personal data, of course. She answered them all correctly for me, but maybe she just likes me better.\n\nHooray for Jack Daniels (and Its Lawyers)\n\nScanners Successfully Locate Things for TSA to Steal, Not Much Else\n\nMarital Spat Escalates to Use of Napalm"

To go along with the new name the company will update its ticker symbol from RIMM to BBRY, and it introduced a new tagline: “One brand, one promise.” The company will be showcasing the new name in its first Super Bowl ad ever this coming weekend.\n\nNot Your Father’s BlackBerry\n\nBlackBerry 10 represents a complete overhaul of the BlackBerry operating system. The operating system focuses around the BlackBerry Hub, a universal inbox of sorts that includes your email, text messages, and notifications. Calendar information is also available within the Hub. A smart calendar of sorts, BlackBerry 10 pulls contact information for guests in meetings into calendar entries. You can access the Hub from any screen you’re on using a simple gesture.",

"A lot of my turkey knowledge was informed by The Turkey, An American Story by Andrew F. Smith. If you are interested in learning more about the history of turkeys and how they came to be so important in America, do check it out.",
null,
"For this card, I think we need to acknowledge different cultural meanings, I mean we do for all cards but this one in particular given how Americans associate them with thanksgiving and in the UK it’s Christmas instead.\n\nTurkeys have come to have social, historical, cultural and culinary significant in America and without them (and deer), settlers would have had a very different time and thus the world today could have looked very different.\n\n“No other American bird has received the lavish amount of attention bestowed upon the turkey. It is not hard to understand this fascination. The wild turkey is not America’s biggest bird – the swan and crane are larger – but turkeys do not migrate and are abundant throughout the eastern United States… They are also handsome birds that command the attention of anyone who sees them. A wild turkey’s habits are unusual, it’s behaviour extraordinary and its vocalisations quite singular in the avian world.”\n– Andrew F. Smith\n\nWay back, many, many years ago, wild turkeys lived in Mexico and throughout North America. They inhabited woodlands and were nearly hunted to extinction – by the same colonists that owed their success to them… Habitat destruction was another cause of the population collapse, again down to the colonies… The timing echoes that of the population crash of bison and many other north American creatures. With conservation efforts, numbers have now increased to over 7 million.\n\nBut stepping back in time again, very little seems to be known about early domestication but the Spanish did encounter domestic turkeys in Mexico in 1518 and went on to introduce them to Spain, shortly after they moved through Europe and had arrived in England by 1541. Initially eaten by upper classes, by 1577 they had become the cheapest bird on the English market. Come 1573, it has been noted, turkeys were a staple of the English Christmas dinner, taking a reprieve for a while but being back in vogue by 1792 when John Gay wrote:\n\nThis tradition would travel to New England and become established by the early 19th century. Today, turkey is more associated with thanksgiving, but why? Well, first I want to note that Thanksgiving stories are almost all lies and I was going to explain why but it’s incredibly complicated. What I will say is that whilst thanksgiving feasts were a thing, it was probably down to the great efforts of Sarah Josepha Hale (she also wrote Mary Had a Little Lamb) that America has a Thanksgiving holiday in November. She strongly felt that there should be a third holiday in the year (in addition to Washington’s birthday in February and Independence Day in July). She campaigned for many years, writing to government and prominent people to try and declare the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. She nearly succeeded in 1859 but it wasn’t until 1863 that it was officially declared by Lincoln. In terms of why the turkey, well, as non migratory birds, turkeys were in supply and of a reasonable size in autumn and so were an obvious choice for a celebratory feast.\n\n“The turkey was just a big bird to raise, hunt and consume until the American War for Independence, when it began to acquire symbolic value. The new nation needed to differentiate itself from its English roots, and “American” foods began to take on nationalistic values.”\n– Smith\n\nThe increasing demand for turkey would go on to change the beast itself. Breast meat was particularly important to consumers and so turkey breeds were crossbred to increase the amount per bird. The result was turkeys that had such wide breasts and short legs that they couldn’t mate… This means that artificial insemination was the way forward… Nothing all that natural about the centrepiece of your Christmas table…\n\nWhilst it is an aside, it’s interesting to find out where the phrase cold turkey came from. First, we need to know that the turkey has been a symbol of honesty for about 200 years and led to the saying to “talk turkey”, meaning to speak frankly. Then, over time, “talking cold turkey” came to mean speaking frankly, but with cold, harsh, unpleasant facts. This eventually evolved into “cold turkey” and was first recorded to mean the abrupt stopping of drugs in 1921.\n\nAnother turkey related fact from America 200 years ago is the pulling of the merrythought, a custom we know today as pulling the wishbone. As we’ll see, the turkey is a creature of abundance, so before you make a wish, consider what you already have.\n\nThere are many interesting tangents I could go off on but perhaps the most relevant when it comes to the oracle card is the idea of turkeys as stupid. As the turkey was valued for breast meat and not intellect, we have domesticated and refined a bird which is cumbersome and not necessarily bright (although recent research suggests that chickens are cleverer than we thought so maybe the same will prove true for turkeys). Anyway, the alleged stupidity of turkeys led to the phrase gobbledygook, meaning “language that is meaningless or is made unintelligible by excessive use of technical terms”. Are you communicating clearly and simply or are you over complicating things and convoluting the message? Perhaps you’re being underestimated or even underestimating yourself.\n\nThe reality is that wild turkeys are inquisitive, curious creatures which are interested in things that don’t benefit their survival, showing us an appreciation of things just for the joy of it. They are playful and despite their reputation as stupid, they have a profound vocabulary which includes specific vocalisations for individual predators.\n\nTurkeys are natural foragers and eat almost anything they can find (again we have the theme of abundance popping up), what are you overlooking or missing in your hunt for something that matches the image in your head? Have you fallen into the rom-com trope of ignoring the best friend because they don’t look like your idea of love?\n\nWhilst most birds are associated with air, I feel the turkey is more of an earth card – whilst they have wingspans of up to 6 feet, they are not especially aerodynamic or graceful when they do fly. Instead they use their wings to help them jump into trees for safety. Perhaps you could bring a dose of reality to your lofty ideas? Bring yourself back down to earth.\n\nLike the bison, the turkey is a symbol of fertility, gratitude and abundance. They were used in ritual to ensure a good crop and the various parts of the turkey were used in many ways. Obviously they were eaten as poultry, but they also provided eggs and feathers which were used to make coats, blankets and umbrellas. They were also turned into hearth brushes, quills, dusters and used to stuff mattresses and pillows. The bones were carved into spoons and beads.\n\nThey are also about sacrifice, giving yourself so that others can live and harvests which puts me in mind of the six of pentacles in tarot. Reversed, this reminds me more of the 4 of pentacles and holding on so tightly to what you have out of fear of losing it that you can’t get anything more.\n\n“In present day urban life, we are taught to acquire and get ahead. The person with the most toys wins the game. In some cultures, no one can win the game unless the whole of the People’s needs are met.”\n– Medicine Cards\n\nGiving and receiving, sharing and enjoying are important here. To give something away can be a gift to yourself. What is it that you have to offer the world? What is it you are abundant in?\n\nQuestions to think about when the turkey shows up include what are you sacrificing, is it deserving of your sacrifice is it the right thing to be sacrificing yourself for? What I have in mind as I type this is a job that’s draining the life out of you, demanding all your time and energy and ideas but which gives you nothing in return; no sense of satisfaction, no acknowledgement etc. On the other hand, giving all your time and effort to a career you love is a sacrifice that might be worth making."

"As Chief MagClouder I know first hand that starting a new business inside an existing, well-established, large and profitable company can be just as challenging as launching an enterprise all on your own. Especially if your idea is a disruptive one – and one that requires time to grow before it adds a noticeable boost to your company’s overall bottom line.\n\nIn Innovator’s Dilemma, author and leading business thinker Clayton Christensen is spot on with his observation: Traditional companies are wary of pursuing new products and services that will initially have smaller target markets with unproven business models.\n\nWhy invest in something new that will result in a smaller return (at least initially) when you can continue cultivating larger and much better-understood markets based on your existing business proposition?\n\nThe answers vary, but the one that strikes a chord with us is simply this: If you don’t disrupt your own business, someone else will.\n\nWe’ve learned some useful lessons about launching a disruptive business inside a large company – in our case, creating MagCloud within Hewlett-Packard (HP).\n\n1. Bottom-up ideas can be just as successful as those directed from the top down.\n\nThe idea for MagCloud didn’t come from HP’s executive offices or reports from famous industry consultants. Instead, a couple of researchers in HP Labs thought it would be cool to create a way for anyone to become a publisher.\n\nWe took that idea and ran with it. It was bottom-up driven and an approach supported by our cross-company sponsors. It’s a model that suits both HP and MagCloud well.\n\nThat bottom-up philosophy suits many companies well. Google, for example, encourages employees to spend about 20 percent of their time “on projects that aren’t necessarily in [their] job descriptions.” This dabbling in other endeavors has resulted in some of Google’s most important products, including Gmail and Google News.\n\nFacebook Hackathons – all-night, code-writing “ragers” – are a big tradition at Facebook, inspiring employees to collaborate on some great (and some not-so-great) ideas.\n\n2. Flexibility is your friend.\n\nStarting a business is no time to be set in your ways. From the moment you come up with your initial idea to the day you launch, you must be flexible enough to tack and weave your way forward, evolving your idea as you go.\n\nWhen we began working on MagCloud, we thought that, along with providing print-on-demand based publishing, we should offer a tool that publishers could use to put together their publications – you know, type your text here, add your pictures there. And, voilà, you get a great-looking publication.\n\nThen we remembered that authoring tools already exist in applications such as Microsoft Word, Adobe InDesign and Apple Pages.\n\nWhy make customers use our tool when they’re already working with existing, proven programs? It seems obvious now, but at the time it was a big “aha” moment for us.\n\nWe might revisit creating authoring tools at some point as we tack and weave our way forward.\n\n3. Small teams can outperform big ones.\n\nIf you’ve ever worked within a large group, you know the perils of spending far too much time communicating just to stay in sync, and adhering to the many processes designed to keep a large group coordinated – both of which can hinder creativity.\n\nThe moral: The smaller the team, the more flexible you can be – and the easier it can be to keep working toward a common goal. At fewer than 20 staff members, we know this lesson all too well at MagCloud. We take turns at doing everything and finishing our projects on time. Mostly.\n\nWhether you’re one person working from a spare bedroom or part of a 100-person, full-fledged marketing department, producing beautiful, professional-quality publications with MagCloud will give the impression that your business is bigger than it really is.\n\nAnd, in fact, as long as you produce quality products that people enjoy, even the smallest team can attract millions of fans and followers.\n\nConsider Pinterest, founded in March 2010 with a handful of employees. The company employs 100 today, just three years later. But what’s really impressive is Pinterest’s 40 million faithful fans who spend hours pinning their favorite things to their own virtual bulletin boards, so they can organize them and share them with friends. Pinterest is now the largest social media platform as measured by users per employee.\n\nInstagram’s team was even smaller. Just 13 employees built the business, which now has 30 million users who pause in mid-step to capture just the right photo, add their favorite filter and post it to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr and Foursquare.\n\nMost large companies have very strict planning cycles, forecasting three or more years out and detailing every step of the way.\n\nInstead, we focus on a month ahead.\n\nWe decide what we’re going to invest in for the next month based on what we learned from our previous month through our customer support, website analytics, blog comments and social media interactions.\n\nIn a large stable business with mature markets even the slightest changes can have significant impact and high risk. This often results in long decision-making timelines that require deeper data analysis and more people involved in choosing the course of action.\n\nAt MagCloud, all of us – all fewer than 20 of us – are empowered by HP to make all the decisions that affect our business, hundreds of times, every day. Even if we make decisions that aren’t quite right, we make them and move on.\n\nWe’re willing to take the risk because what we know – and what you know, too – is that if we don’t quickly iterate to meet our customers’ needs, someone else will.\n\nWhich brings me back to my beginning point:\n\n6. Disrupt, lest ye be disrupted.\n\nI wonder what they’ll do next.\n\nIn much the same way Netflix disrupted Netflix, MagCloud doesn’t want to be disrupted by someone else. We want to be our own disruptor, and we work hard at giving our customers what they want, even if it means we need to continually reinvent ourselves to do it.\n\nDiscipline and focus are crucial with a small team. There is never a shortage of new ideas but choosing the ones that will have the greatest impact to building our reach and growing our business are the keys to success.\n\nWe’re in control, we make the decisions and we live with the consequences. It’s exciting and exhilarating, and it’s one of the reasons why I love doing what we do as a small-medium business.\n\nI suspect it’s why you love what you do, too. I would love to hear what lessons you learned starting your own business or innovating as part of a small business or team in the comments section below.",

"Who Is a Blockchain Validator?\n\nA blockchain validator is a network node that helps process and validate transaction blocks on the platform so that they can be added to the permanent ledger of the blockchain. When using the term “validator,” some people presume the nodes validating transactions on PoS blockchains. They contrast it with the term “miner,” used on PoW blockchain platforms.\n\nAs transactions on the blockchain are initiated by users, they are queued on the network for subsequent validation. Validator nodes then batch individual transactions into a block to verify it. Each blockchain has its own rules pertaining to the number of transactions per block. When the block has been completed, validators process it to add it to the blockchain as a permanent record.\n\nOn some blockchains, validators may choose which transactions to batch into a block. This selection is not necessarily in chronological order, but is driven by the validator’s preferences, typically based on transaction fees involved.\n\nThe fees are added to each blockchain transaction by the sender of crypto assets as an incentive for validators. Senders may choose the fee amount, and could even send a transaction without any fees at all.\n\nHowever, transactions with very low or no fees are more likely to be ignored by validators and, thus, might remain in an unconfirmed state for long periods of time. If, after a while, the transaction is not added to a block for validation, it is normally dropped from the network.\n\nHow Are Blocks Validated on the Blockchain?\n\nValidation on Proof of Work blockchains\n\nValidators on a PoW blockchain, often called miners, try to validate a block by finding an answer to a complex computational puzzle. This process is competitive, and the first validator node that successfully solves the puzzle is rewarded with some amount of cryptocurrency for their effort.\n\nSolving the computational puzzle requires expending massive amounts of computing hash power, which is a very energy-consuming exercise. Given the large number of blocks validated on big PoW blockchains daily, the PoW model has been described by some as an environmental disaster.\n\nFor example, last year, Bitcoin consumed 67TWh of energy, and the network is projected to have consumed over 90TWh by the end of 2021. The latter amount is comparable to the energy consumption of countries such as the Philippines and Pakistan.\n\nIn addition to being energy-consuming, PoW blockchains are characterized by slow transaction speeds and high fees.\n\nTo become an individual validator on a PoW blockchain, you must normally have a computer with very powerful hardware specifications. Even then, your chances of successfully validating a block are miniscule as you would be competing with massive, highly-resourced mining pools.\n\nMost network participants who want to earn rewards from mining on PoW blockchains join the pools to earn a share of validation rewards.\n\nValidation on Proof of Stake Blockchains\n\nThe PoS block validation method was an answer to the energy-hungry and slow PoW validation. In PoS blockchains, block validators are chosen, typically randomly, based on the amount of cryptocurrency they are willing to “stake” to have the validation rights.\n\nFor instance, if you stake 2% of all the crypto amount being currently staked, you have a roughly 2% chance of being selected as a validator for the next block. The chosen validator node reviews the block and confirms, or rejects, it in exchange for some crypto rewards.\n\nEvery PoS blockchain has its own specifics of validation, but on most platforms, you also need to satisfy specific requirements to be selected as a validator node. For example, it is a common requirement to commit at least a certain amount of cryptocurrency to become a validator.\n\nOn some platforms, there might be specific hardware requirements as well. While PoS is nowhere near as resource-hungry as PoW, validator nodes on some PoS blockchains do need good hardware or software specs as they may be processing a large number of transactions in a period of time.\n\nIn general, the PoS validation is very low-energy, fast, and less costly than the PoW validation method. It does have its own disadvantages, such as the possibility of power concentration in the hands of network actors who have hoarded a large percentage of the platform’s cryptocurrency.\n\nThe PoS block validation also has an equivalent to the mining pools used in PoW blockchains. These are called staking pools. Network users, primarily those who do not qualify as validator nodes, can lock their cryptocurrency in these pools to earn consistent rewards from the block validation activity.\n\nWhenever their selected validator node successfully processes a block, the nodes who “voted” for this validator also receive their cut of rewards.\n\nWhat Are the Requirements to Become a Validator on the Largest Blockchains?\n\nPoW and PoS blockchains have radically different requirements for qualifying as a validator node. On the former, you have to show some significant hardware muscle to qualify, while on the latter, you will typically need to stake a non-trivial amount of cryptocurrency funds.\n\nThe main requirement to run a validator/miner node on Bitcoin is a computer system based on the hardware technology called application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). ASIC-based systems are specifically built for one purpose – cryptocurrency mining operations.\n\nThey are different from the standard PC-systems everyone is familiar with. ASIC systems are extremely powerful and cost around $10,000 to $20,000 for models that might give you some chance of mining a block.\n\nHowever, even investment in such expensive hardware may not be enough to carry out consistent and successful block verification. The massive mining pools dominating Bitcoin mining leave little chance to individual miners.\n\nFor an individual interested in Bitcoin mining, the safest route is to purchase as powerful hardware as you can afford and join a sufficiently large mining pool.\n\nEthereum’s mining works slightly differently to Bitcoin’s. The key difference is that the hardware requirements for validator nodes are not as overwhelming. Instead of relying on ASIC technology, Ethereum mining is possible on sufficiently powerful, modern PC-systems equipped with as powerful Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) as you can afford.\n\nEthereum uses the computer’s GPU extensively for mining operations; thus, having a strong GPU is critical. Having said that, the best practical way to earn rewards from block verification on Ethereum is also by joining a large enough mining pool.\n\nThe concentration of the mining power on Ethereum is not particularly different from that on Bitcoin. Thus, your best chance at becoming a successful validator on Ethereum lies in joining an active enough pool.\n\nEthereum has launched its PoS-based network, Ethereum 2.0, that currently runs in parallel with the main PoW-based platform. By early next year, Ethereum plans to complete a move to the PoS network.\n\nSince Ethereum 2.0 is a PoS platform, it has completely different validator node requirements compared to the PoW version. In essence, to become an Ethereum 2.0 validator, you will need to lock 32 ETH (around $152,000) on the network.\n\nSimply having 32 ETH in your wallet is not enough. You will need to lock away/stake the 32 ETH specifically to qualify as a validator node. When a transaction block requires validation, your node may be chosen, in a random way, to verify it.\n\nLocking more than 32 ETH per node does not give you any higher chance of being selected for block verification. However, if you want to maximize your chances of netting the next block, you are free to set up additional nodes, commit 32 ETH to each node, and increase your statistical chances of getting selected.\n\nThe hardware requirements for a verifier node on Ethereum 2.0 are more modest than on Ethereum or Bitcoin. However, using a PC with above-average specs is still recommended to keep the process smooth.\n\nUsers who cannot or do not want to commit 32 ETH to qualify as validators may stake their funds in the pool to earn smaller amounts of rewards for validation.\n\nBlockchain validation refers to the processing and confirmation of transaction blocks by specific validator nodes. Once a validator node verifies a block, it is added to the blockchain ledger as a permanent record.\n\nPoW and PoS have quite different validation procedures. In PoW blockchains, validators, also called miners, try to solve a complex computational task in a competitive fashion to validate a block.\n\nOn these blockchains, validators may increase their chances of getting selected by setting up additional standard-sized validator nodes.\n\nBlock validation on your own is a relatively unrealistic undertaking, either on PoW or PoS networks. On PoW networks, you might need prohibitively large amounts of computing power to stand a chance in a competition against large mining pools. On PoS networks, you might require too large a share of the total cryptocurrency supply to get block verification rights often enough. Therefore, on both of these blockchain types, it is advisable to join a mining or staking pool to earn consistent rewards from the block validation activity.\n\nGet All The Latest News And Updates From Phemex!"

"Ariel Jona is an advocacy intern at CASE.\n\nThese were a few of the questions discussed by a panel of nonprofit leaders at a June 28, 2017, Capitol Hill briefing on the impact of tax reform on charitable giving. CASE co-hosted the packed briefing, which was organized by the Council on Foundations and Independent Sector.\n\nThe impetus for the briefing was the recent release of Tax Policy and Charitable Giving, a study commissioned by Independent Sector and conducted by the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University. The study found that current tax reform proposals would significantly decrease charitable giving “by as much as $13.1 billion.” The study also indicated that expanding the charitable deduction increases charitable giving and that tax incentives affect giving to religious organizations as well as other charities.",

"The number of students expelled and suspended from California schools continued to decline in 2014-15 as more school districts focused on resolving behavior issues without taking students out of class for long periods of time, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said Wednesday.\n\n“The research and data are abundantly clear in this area: Removing children from school and keeping them away from an educational environment can be very harmful,” Torlakson said in a statement. He credited the decline to a growing commitment by the California Department of Education and school districts to providing “effective solutions” to increase school attendance and learning, including programs such as restorative practices, which allow students to make amends for the harm their actions have caused, and teaching students how to regulate their emotions.\n\nThe number of students expelled in 2014-15 dropped by 13.9 percent compared to the year before while the number of students suspended at least once declined by 12.8 percent, according to California Department of Education data. The data represent an unduplicated count of students who were suspended or expelled; students who were suspended or expelled multiple times are counted only once in the totals, according to the data report generated by the state education database, Data-Quest.",
null,
"In a state with a student population of 6.2 million, 5,692 students were expelled in 2014-15, a decline of 919 students compared to the previous year. Suspensions were given at least once to 243,603 students, a decline of 35,780 students from the year before, the state reported.\n\nImproved data reporting at the California Department of Education that began in 2011-12 drew increased attention to the high numbers of suspensions and expulsions in schools across the state, particularly for African-American students, the department said. The data prompted a new law, community actions and school district policy changes, the state said.",
null,
"The biggest percentage decline in suspensions was in the willful defiance category for the third year in a row, the state said. In 2014-15, 129,835 suspensions for defiant behavior were reported, a drop of 58,103 from the previous year.\n\nAdvocates praised the decline in punitive discipline and called for continued training and support for school employees.\n\n“There’s a lot of good work being done at the local level by school districts — and there are just as many if not more places that have a lot of work to do,” said Lauren Brady, directing attorney for statewide education rights at Public Counsel, a public interest law firm. Those school districts can look to their peer districts in other parts of the state for ideas on how to support teachers, staff, administrators and students in a move to nonpunitive methods of resolving conflict, she said. The state has launched a Behavioral Intervention Strategies and Supports website to further that collaboration.\n\nThe state’s education finance system introduced in July 2013, known as the Local Control Funding Formula, has been “a game changer” for school discipline practices, said Angelica Salazar, a senior policy associate at the nonprofit Children’s Defense Fund California. The funding accountability plan requires school districts to track measures of school climate, including rates of suspensions and expulsions and results from student, parent and staff surveys about the welcoming environment on campus, she noted.\n\nUnless there is a sustained commitment from school leaders, and the requirement that discipline results be measured, sweeping changes in how schools understand and address student behavior are “not going to succeed,” she said."

"The maps above show us clearly the planned change in the village of Ryemouth from 1995 to present.\n\nIn 1995, there was a large farmland located in the northeast, to the south of which there was a forest park. To the west of the forest, beside the road crossing northwest to the southeast, there was the only residential area. In the south along the seaside, there was a shop and a fish market, which were isolated by another road cross the west to the east. Where the two roads crossed, there located a hotel. In addition, there was also a fishing port at the offshore area in the south.\n\nThe village has obviously witnessed great change in the following years, for that at present, the layout is totally different. In the northeastern part, where there once to be a farmland and a forest parks, there is a golf court and a tennis court. Furthermore, a new road has been build near the residential area and there certainly appears to be more housings. The shop has be replaced by a restaurant and the fish market has be changed to apartments. It is also notable that the fishing port is gone and a new parking lot has been constructed beside the hotel. The only thing remains unchanged was the cafe opposite to the hotel.\n\nIn conclusion, the village of Ryemouth has experience a great change and the whole area seems to emphasize tourist industry rather than agriculture.\n\nEssay Categories\nIELTS Writing Task I - IELTS Academic\nThis essay topic by users:\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\nEssays by the user:\nWrite an essay by this topic"

"In summarizing my visit to the 2016 What Hi-fi show and listing some of my preferred systems, I mentioned the Audio One room with Dali loudspeakers paired with Arcam and Marantz electronics. The exact words I used in describing the sound quality of this system was “great stereo imaging, smooth highs and taut bass”. Now as most of you know for a system to sound good, the synergy between the components is vital, and evidently all the components in this system were working together. One very vital component of any good hi-fi system is the cabling, and that – in this system, happened to be from Audioquest. Audioquest was formed by Bill Low more than a quarter century ago in 1980 and is counted amongst the largest audio/video cable suppliers in U.S. Low believes that performance of any cable matters more than marketing and goes about his business based on this belief while adhering to the “Do No Harm” principle, which prioritizes the original signal and tries to minimize damage to it as it passes through the cable.\n\nLesseps Cardozo, the National Sales Manager for Audio One – the distributor of Audioquest cables in India, graciously offered me a set of interconnects and speaker cables from Audioquest so that I could try and recreate what I heard in Bangalore, albeit in my own system with different speakers and electronics.",
null,
"Not quite, but Audioquest is quite creative with the nomenclature of their cables, their analog interconnects offering homage to bridges, water-falls, rivers and elements, while some of their speaker cables are named after rocks and trees. I received a set of Castle Rock speaker cables along with Water and Yukon RCA interconnects. Build quality of all these cables is excellent; all of them composed of Solid, Perfect Surface Copper (PSC) conductors that according to Audioquest sound better than other types of Coppers. Additionally the Water and Castle Rock sported their patented Dielectric Bias System which consists of battery pack attached to one end of the cable. This system – claims Audioquest – helps prevent energy storage in the insulation of the cable dramatically improving details and dynamics while reducing noise. The connectors for all the cables feature “Hanging Silver”, which is described as a process of “submerging the connectors into a vat of extreme purity silver resulting in a very thick direct silver plate”. These cables also have other features which are clearly explained on the web site.\n\nSince the cables supplied were demonstration samples, I assumed they had enough hours on them and did not consider any additional break-in time. The interconnects have signal direction arrows which I complied with and the speaker cable ends are also marked with amplifier/speaker ends. All the cables are quite stiff so a little bit of effort was required in inserting them into my system.",

"I cued up Wolfert Brederode Trio’s Black Ice – ECM (24/96, FLAC). The track Olive Tree – exhibited a beautiful sense of space, the instruments sounding very open and airy. The numerous cymbal taps shimmered with long decays and Brederode’s piano sounded tonally lush. Next up was Arne Domnerus’s Jazz At the Pawnshop 2 – Naxos (5.6 MHz, DSD). The ambience of the former pawnshop where the recording was made was wonderful, the cables helping to recreate the venue with astounding realism as if I was sitting there – background chatter and all. Imaging was razor sharp and the soundstage extended to well beyond my speaker boundaries in all planes. This high resolution recording was exceedingly pleasurable to listen to.\n\nI switched to female vocals from Kandace Springs’ debut album Soul Eyes – Blue Note (24/96, FLAC). Her sultry, alto voice on the title track was presented with superb fidelity, recreating a realistic sense of presence of the singer in my room. Moving onto Rock by Steven Wilson, the track Vermillion Core from the album 4 1/2 – Kscope (24/96, FLAC), is an excellent test of system dynamics/resolution. As the track picks up steam and the guitars kick in, especially the bass, I heard no congestion or compression, the whole presentation sounding clear and dynamically explosive.\n\nThe Hammond B3 organ can hit some real low notes and under the capable hands of Dr. Lonnie Smith from his album Spiral – Palmetto (16/44.1, FLAC) I heard some astounding bass. Listening to Mellow Mood the low frequency came in waves that washed over me and energized the room in an electrifying manner. The bass was not only extended deep but also had excellent pitch definition and was hard hitting.",
null,
"The select series from Kimber, namely the 3033 speaker and 1011 interconnects are my reference cables and their cost is approximately 75% more than the Audioquest loom. The biggest difference I heard right away was that the Audioquests’ were slightly more forward in the treble in the manner that they accentuated these frequencies. They did not sound bright by any means but the Kimbers were more laid back. In the mid range, both of them sounded equally rich but I preferred the Kimber which seemed to have more tonal bloom to the slightly leaner Audioquest sound. In the bass, I felt that the Audioquest was digging deeper, but in terms of texture, the selects were better. In macrodynamics both were equally adept but the Kimber pulled ahead on microdynamics exhibiting superior retrieval of transients and other nuances in the sound. Still this is excellent showing by Audioquest and these differences against the much more expensive cables were only gleaned in a side by side comparison. In an absolute sense I could easily live with the Audioquest loom.\n\nThe Castle Rock, Water and Yukon cables from Audioquest are excellent cables that will take a high performance system to the next level. While they are not exactly inexpensive, in the right system their value will be measured in the superb sound they will help reproduce. They don’t intrude upon the signal but step out of the way allowing the connected components to perform to their potential. If you are looking at cables in this range I can’t recommend these enough."

"“So really Rasberry Pi and Broadcom – get a big FAIL for even bothering to make a press release for this, if they’d just stuck the code out there and gone on with things it would have been fine, nobody would have been any happier, but some idiot thought this crappy shim layer deserved a press release, pointless.”\n–Dave Airlie\n\nSince it’s the season of Hallowe’en and ghosts and goblins, I decided that I wanted a distro that reflected the spirit of the season. What better distro to review than Alien Section OS (http://www.aliensectionos.tk/index.html). According to the distro’s site, Alien Section OS is an Openbox operating system based on Crunch-bang/Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint. That’s right! Instead of a single Linux distro with multiple desktops, we have a single desktop on top of multiple distros—but not at the same time, of course.\n\nNow you may be wondering how all of those distros are rolled into a single distro—is it a five-headed ugly alien baby or will is it an attractive sleek spaceship. Let’s find out.\n\nOut of the Alien Section OS mother ship we have:\n\nI downloaded and burnt to disk, the 687MB Debian Squeeze edition Alien Section OS. The Alien Section OS CD booted easily to a live environment, a welcome change from a few of my recent distro reviews. The familiar Debian swirl, albeit in a lovely swamp green hue, greeted me . Perfect! Emblazoned across the desktop are the words SQUEEZE ME all caps in a Hallowe’en like font. All of this delightful spooky goodness sat on a background that sported electronic glyphs with a sprinkling of matrix-like drips frozen in time on the right. One of the more eclectic desktops wallpapers I have seen.\n\nConky sat on the right, tracking system vitals. Everything looked good. Included in that thumbs-up assessment were my two favorite items:\n\nGraphics/Display: ( i915)\nWireless: (iwl3965) An interesting note: When I first tested AS-OS live on my Zareason, the iwl4965 driver was loaded. It was nice to see AS-OS adapt to a different wireless chipset.\n\nThose of you who are familiar with OpenBox will know Adesk Bar, the lightweight app launcher at the top of the screen. Someone like me, who does not use Openbox on a regular bases would say that this panel resembles the upper Gnome2 panel in earlier versions of Ubuntu. Gnomish, I guess.\n\nThe bottom of the screen –just where you’d expect the task panel to be is neatly divided into four desktops. What I particularly liked about this arrangement in Openbox is that you can see the applicatins that are open across all your desktops. Seems convenient in my opinion.\n\nAlien Section OS uses the Refracta installer. At first I thought this installer is named after Refalca, Ann Romney’s Dressage horse, but I was mistaken. It’s name is derived from the Refracta OS. Here is the link: (http://www.ibiblio.org/refracta/) Dressage/hip-hop horse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knCj92zA0tU\n\nThe installer is very minimal, which made me a little cautious, especially when I planned to install it on a slice of my hard drive on my main laptop. So I resorted to using my Bemus hosting laptop and temporarily overwrote Chakra by installing Alien Section in the first partition. I left my LFS partition alone but I will probably have to recreate the environment when I get back to it next week.",

The server uses Calxeda’s EnergyCore processor architecture. The goal here is so ASF can test and optimize Apache, Hadoop, and the Cassandra NoSQL database for these new servers. The Dell “Zinc”, is being hosted by Calxeda in a data center in Austin. Along with the server they are also giving them full technical support and maintenance. The ASF is already using the server and has built versions of Apache Hadoop, Thrift, Derby, River and Tapestry. The build server is running Ubuntu Server for ARM. The Zinc concept runs EnergyCore EXC-1000 processors that are integrated with layer 2 networking switches on Calxeda’s EnergyCard boards. These servers are not available for purchase from Dell yet but they definitely coming. Here is what Dell said about when:\n“bring ARM servers to general availability at the appropriate time.”\n\nTed Ts’o has released a series of patches to correct a bug he has dubbed the “Lance Armstrong bug”. Because nothing untoward shows up in testing but, nevertheless it performs with unexpected results. The bug was tracked down to the release of 3.6.2. It was a tough bug to track down as it requires that you reboot your computer twice in a short period of time.

"By Steve Eisenhauer, Regional Director of Protection and Land Stewardship\n\nDeep in the woods at our Harold N. Peek Preserve grow some ancient daffodils. Although perhaps not unlike daffodils sprouting at innumerable other old home sites in many other wooded areas, these daffodils bear reflection.",
null,
"As the preserve’s namesake, Harold Peek, once told it, the King sisters were the last residents of a house that once stood here. All that is left today is a deep hollow area where the cellar was located, many walnut and hackberry trees (the older ones probably planted by the homesteaders and the younger ones growing as their offspring), and three concrete brick-lined depressions from long-gone silos. As the story goes, the King sisters’ house burned down 80 years ago or so, and they had to move. The fire was suspicious, since the King sisters were away from home at the time and a dispute had been ongoing about a timber harvest by a neighbor who questioned the property line. (I once visited the Cumberland County Historical Society in Millville to find out more details but, other than verifying the King family lived in this general area at the time, I could not locate anything else to substantiate the story.)",
null,
"So, as far as I can tell, these daffodils were growing here 80 years or so ago. They may have been planted a century or two before that! Referencing the lifespan of daffodils, the literature refers to them as long-lived or “living “indefinitely.” Over time, domestic varieties of daffodils typically spread vegetatively, adding bulbs and crowding themselves to the point where flowering becomes less and less common. As seen in the photo above, in each clump of daffodil plants—that may have hundreds of bulbs at each base—only a few are still flowering. Gardeners will often separate the bulbs to replant them, thus reducing competition for water and nutrients, and stimulating more flowering. The daffodil patches at the King sisters’ home site are in what botanists call a “naturalized” state: they’re not invasive (spreading rapidly and pushing out native species) but are fitting into the forest landscape as a reminder of bygone human activity and as a welcome broadcaster that spring has finally arrived.",
null,
"I couldn’t help noticing that a few of the blooms had spiders on them. Certain spiders, such as crab and flower spiders, take advantage of the limited color range in the eyesight of insects like bees. The spiders simply wait within or on blooms, in obvious sight of our human eyes, but almost invisible to the insects they’d like to eat. As some of the first flowers to bloom in spring, crab spiders gravitate to them to jump-start their own life-cycle, at the expense of a few insects. The spider on the flower in this photo resembles a six-spotted fishing spider (Dolomedes triton), and seems to be mimicking those other spider species to try to get a meal.\n\nSo, whenever you see crowded daffodils growing in fields or forests, with little or no evidence of human residences nearby, take a closer look. The variety or species of daffodil you may be examining may have been one the Pilgrims planted. It may no longer be available to purchase. We may never know if the original bulb planted one or two or three hundred years ago in each patch is still alive today. It may have the prettiest flower you now see. Or it may be long gone, with its countless descendants carrying on its life as identical genetic clones."

"Info: April 12, 1945: After years of bloody conflict in Europe and the Pacific, America is stunned by news of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s death. In an instant, Vice President Harry Truman, who has been kept out of war planning and knows nothing of the top-secret Manhattan Project to develop the world’s first atomic bomb, must assume command of a nation at war on multiple continents—and confront one of the most consequential decisions in history. Countdown 1945 tells the gripping true story of the turbulent days, weeks, and months to follow, leading up to August 6, 1945, when Truman gives the order to drop the bomb on Hiroshima.\n\nIn Countdown 1945, Chris Wallace, the veteran journalist and anchor of Fox News Sunday, takes readers inside the minds of the iconic and elusive figures who join the quest for the bomb, each for different reasons: the legendary Albert Einstein, who eventually calls his vocal support for the atomic bomb “the one great mistake in my life”; lead researcher J. Robert “Oppie” Oppenheimer and the Soviet spies who secretly infiltrate his team; the fiercely competitive pilots of the plane selected to drop the bomb; and many more.\n\nPerhaps most of all, Countdown 1945 is the story of an untested new president confronting a decision that he knows will change the world forever. Truman’s journey during these 116 days is a story of high drama: from the shock of learning of the bomb’s existence, to the conflicting advice he receives from generals like Dwight D. Eisenhower and George Marshall, to wrestling with the devastating carnage that will result if he gives the order to use America’s first weapon of mass destruction.\n\nBut Countdown 1945 is more than a book about the atomic bomb. It’s also an unforgettable account of the lives of ordinary American and Japanese civilians in wartime—from “Calutron Girls” like Ruth Sisson in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to ten-year-old Hiroshima resident Hideko Tamura, who survives the blast at ground zero but loses her mother and later immigrates to the United States, where she lives to this day—as well as American soldiers fighting in the Pacific, waiting in fear for the order to launch a possible invasion of Japan.",

"The Turtle and the Curb\n\nI was driving home the other day and I saw a turtle on the side of the road. It had made it all the way across the street, only to be stopped by a curb. The turtle obviously couldn't jump the curb, so even though it completely crossed the road, the turtle was dead and smashed. The great success of crossing the dangerous road was thwarted by the curb. It was a great distance for the turtle to cross the road, as the traffic weaved around the slow-and-steady reptile. What were the chances the turtle made it as far as it did?!\n\nIt got me thinking, as we all do while we're driving, the turtle had an objective or a target in mind, but it didn't have a plan. If it was capable of making a plan, the turtle would have crossed the road in a completely different section (or not at all). It reminds me of people I've met, many who have since become clients. They are all trying to obtain this objective or target, but many didn't have a plan. They're investing or learning or \"collecting accounts\" from multiple financial institutions, but there's no plan. It's oftentimes just an aimless accumulation of assets, insurance, and debt. Until a plan is created, there is a likely curb ahead to block progress, even if they've already crossed the street."

"Leopards are stealthy and nimble predators. These secretive large cats are notoriously hard to find, despite their distinctive pattern, and even harder to count. Leopards are distributed across sub-Saharan Africa, occupying many different habitats. They are very agile climbers and will often be found hauling their prey up into a tree for safe keeping.\n\nAmong all the countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Namibia has a great potential for maintaining healthy leopard populations because of its open landscape, low human population and exceptional conservation ethic. Large areas of the country remain as wilderness with much of the historic assemblages of species still present. Namibia has monitored its leopard population since the 1930’s. Several studies were conducted to estimate leopard densities over the years, all of which provided information showing the presence of more leopards than previously rumored.\n\nA 2003 study used sightings of leopards from the public, hunting guides, conservation authorities, tour operators and tourists from across the country to learn the density and distribution of leopards. The population was estimated to be 8,000 individuals. However, the majority of the leopard population occurs outside protected areas and within areas of high human density; these areas were not included in this study. Namibia now desired to achieve more effective leopard conservation; a partnership with the private sector was required.\n\nIn 2010, Namibia partnered with SCI Foundation to help provide up to date information on leopard densities, and how they could more effectively manage their leopard population. A three phased project was initiated. Phase I used a consultative workshop bringing together regional stakeholders to share information and ideas to use in the final design of the project. Phase II was a questionnaire survey sent to local farmers to determine frequency of leopard sightings and whether the species has been a problem animal on their property. Phase III focused on spoor surveys (foot prints) and camera traps to estimate relative density of leopards in three study areas. Camera traps are small digital trail cameras that use motion sensors or timers to take images of wildlife. The cameras store the images with the date and time of the occurrence. Researchers can use the photographs to identify individuals and determine population estimates over time.",
null,
"Extensive information was gathered through phase I and II. Farmers responded saying that they frequently saw signs of leopards. Leopards are more likely to kill their cattle and cheetahs are more likely to kill smaller livestock. Fewer than 50% of leopards destroyed as problem animals were reported to the authorities. However, cheetahs kill more total livestock than leopards. As a result more cheetahs are killed in human-wildlife conflicts than leopards.\n\nThe three study areas were selected based upon survey information and information on density levels that were gathered by previous studies. The three areas had differing habitats and prey availability, and would each hypothetically support a different number of leopards. The researchers verified that their three study sites had different leopard densities. The first study area was considered to be high density, the second study area had a medium density, and the third study area had a low density of leopards. After extrapolating leopard densities from each study area’s camera and spoor surveys to a national scale, using similar habitat parameters across the country, estimating approximately 14,000 leopards in Namibia.\n\nHunting quota systems are an important tool in the conservation of species. Quotas set a number of animals that are legally allowed to be taken in a given time period. Hunters from around the world are willing to pay considerable sums for the opportunity to take a leopard. In Namibia they are the species that is most likely to be trophy hunted. Such tourism creates job opportunities and much of the hunting revenue goes back into the local communities, wildlife conservation, and governmental programs.\n\nThe export quota for leopards in Namibia was set at 100 animals until 2004, when it was increased to 250 animals. The increased quota was not filled for six years, until 2010. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism in Namibia was concerned because this change had little scientific justification, and the country wanted their quota system to be adequate for the population of leopards present. Furthermore, there were reports of improper hunting practices that caused the Namibian government and the hunting industry to review the leopard population and hunting management strategies.",
null,
"The annual leopard hunting quota continues to stand at 250, representing 3-4% of the estimated total adult male leopard population. It has been recommended that the quota remain at this level, with the introduction of an intensive monitoring program to distribute permits across the landscape according to leopard density. The three study area densities were extrapolated to include the entire country. The high density area was calculated to be 54% of the total area in which leopards are present and should therefore receive 54% of the trophy permits. The medium density area should receive 32% of the permits, with the low density areas receiving the remaining 14% of the permits.\n\nPopulation estimates are necessary for guiding national species management. As in most leopard range countries, estimates of the leopard population were lacking and therefore some management decisions, like quotas, were based on conjecture. Management decisions without baseline information and strong monitoring systems can lead to disastrous declines, even in populations within protected areas. SCI Foundation is working in areas where adaptive management strategies are employed, to help impact the management of predators in these systems."

"Croatia offers beautiful clear blue waters and a coastline full of history and architectural gems. Indeed, within a 40 mile area, including Montenegro and Croatia, there are two cities, Dubrovnik, Croatia and Kotor Montenegro, that are considered UNESCO World National Heritage Sites, with 9 total UNESCO World National Heritage Sites in both countries. A total of 4 or 5 UNESCO sites can be visited in a one week charter starting in Kotor, Montenegro and ending in Dubrovnik, Croatia.\n\nFollowing is a suggested one week charter for Kotor to Dubrovnik, including Split, Trogir and Hvar, all UNESCO World Heritage Site locations.",
null,
"The Bay of Kotor, one of the few fjords in the region, is truly memorable. With roots dating back to the site of a 3rd-century Roman military outpost, the fortress city of Kotor was a Byzantine stronghold in the 6th century; today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A walking tour takes in the great Romanesque cathedral of St. Tryphon and the Naval Museum, housed in an 18th-century Baroque palace. Afternoon cruise down the bay to Dubrovnik. (40 miles)\n\nAfter breakfast, clear through customs and get ready to visit the spectacular walled city of Dubrovnik. The wonderfully preserved 15th Century “Old Town” features ancient buildings, squares, cobbled streets and fountains, all created from the same beautiful cut stone. Visit the historic main square, the priceless collections in the Dominican Monastery, the Rector’s Palace, Dubrovnik Cathedral and the Franciscan Monastery. Overnight.\n\nDubrovnik to Celo on the island of Kolocep or Lopud – an excellent beach for lunch and then on to Sipanska Luka, a delightful little village with an old quay to moor against. Lovely walk up the hill to a church where you can see for miles around. (11 miles) Overnight.",

"Leave early for the Island of Mljet. The island was once one of the biggest producers of olive oil in the Med. Odysseus was fabled to have been seduced here by nymphs in Homer’s “The Odyssey”, but it had to be a fable because in real life, he would never have left. Swim and have lunch at a little secluded bay and then on to Polace, (literally “palace”) to explore the ruins of a Roman palace. Cruise along a long wooded inlet, and you could be forgiven for thinking that you were sailing up a Norwegian Fjord. At the end is a protected bay with restaurants. Have dinner on board or ashore. Overnight to Korcula (15 miles)\n\nAwake early for a walk around the fortified medieval town of Korcula (pronounced KorCHoola) where Marco Polo was born. Have a drink at the cocktail bar at the top of one of the towers, where the drinks arrive by a pulley outside the walls, as the stairs are too steep. Leave after lunch for Hvar.",
null,
"Hvar town is overlooked by a large castle and has the oldest theatre in Croatia (circa 1200). This is where the beautiful people hang out. Enjoy a cocktail at the very chic “Carpe Diem” before strolling along the promenade to soak up the atmosphere of Croatia’s Cote d’Azur. The ancients considered Hvar one of the “Isles of the Blessed”. Flower-filled gardens, palms, lemon and orange groves add a fragrance lovely enough to match the visual appeal of this sun-drenched island beauty. Visit the theatre of 1506, the Benedictine Monastery, the town square and ancient stone houses. Overnight.\n\nLeave early for Rogac, a hamlet of the village of Grohote on the northern coast of the island of Solta. In the port there is a citadel dating back to the 17th century. The church of St. Therese has an altarpiece with the portrait of the donor from 1749. The cove of Banje features the remains of a Roman fishpond. Enjoy lunch and a swim before heading up to Trogir to overnight.",

"Trogir is a small town outside of Split. Trogir stands on the foundations of an ancient Greek settlement on a small island connected to the mainland by bridges. This medieval town is a favorite stop, which offers restaurants, markets, and beautiful sights, including the 15th Century Trogir chapel and the 13th Century portal by the master Radovan. The yacht marina is situated on another small island opposite the old city walls, which is an easy walk over a bridge to the old town. After lunch head toward the ancient city of Split which was taken from Salona as the metropolis of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The medieval town developed out of the Emperor Diocletian’s palace, which is recorded as a UNESCO – “monument of universal importance”. Other sites to visit include the Peristyle, Jupiter’s Temple and Visesllas’s Baptistery.\n\nAfter breakfast, cruise down to Vis. Studded with little coves and inlets, one is simply spoilt for choice as to where to stop for a dip. Evening in Komiza, where Tito hid from the Germans during WW2 and where there are two excellent restaurants serving fresh fish and local produce. In the Gradina area are remnants of the ancient Greek town of Ussa. On the small Pirovo promontory are remains of a Roman theatre and thermal baths. Enjoy lunch after a short morning sail to the off-lying island of Bisevo, where a quick jump in the dinghy will reveal “the Blue Grotto”, an underwater cave that during the morning is lit from the sun, giving the water an amazing color. Head back to Vis town, a charming old town with some excellent restaurants and a wine bar where they serve nothing but wine from Vis. Overnight.",
null,
"A Morning sail returns you back to the Island of Korcula, and the port of Vela Luka (23 miles). The coastal strip, including the small islands of Proizd, Kamenjak, Osjak and Gubesa, represents a rich fishing ground. Also, there is a prehistoric archaeological site – Vela Spilja (Neolithic). Another historical site, the one-nave church of St. John, in the region of Gradina, was first mentioned in the 15th century. It has a bell tower on the main front (“na preslicu”), and a Gothic vault. The parish church and the belfry were built in neo-classical style. Overnight.\n\nA good cruise to the deserted island of Lastovo. A military island until 1992, Lastovo was out of bounds to civilians and thus is completely undeveloped and spectacularly pretty. The lovely anchorage is well protected. Enjoy a swim and lunch before heading back to Cavtat, near Dubrovnik to overnight. The old town of Cavtat, in the very centre of the South Adriatic, is situated at the south slopes of the peninsula of Rat, in the immediate vicinity of Dubrovnik. Known as Epidaurum in ancient times, it is today the tourist and cultural centre of Konavle, the southernmost region of Croatia. The town of beautiful beaches and luxury hotels, together with a traditional way of life and preserved customs, waits for you. Overnight.\n\nAfter a leisurely breakfast, sail to Dubrovnik to disembark."

"Who are our heroes? Who do we look up to and why? The strong? The talented? The verbally skilled? The Everyman/woman? Who inspired you when you were a child? Kings, knights, super heroes, princesses, librarians, veterinarians, chefs or vegetarians? Here are five of my disparate childhood heroes. Who were some of yours?\n\nTo my mind she was a woman and an actress ahead of her time: she wore pants a lot in the movies when the other women wore dresses, after her initial short-lived marriage, she never married again, but had a series of unconventional relationships. In movies she was sporting (Pat & Mike), opinionated (The Philadelphia Story) and spirited (Bringing up Baby). Her appearance and her voice were a bit out of the ordinary – she was striking with her pronounced cheekbones and sharp voice and had a strong presence on screen. Personally she had her fair share of tragedy, but she had a long career of roles spanning nearly 70 years, from roles of naïve young women (A Bill of Divorcement) through to elderly (but still spirited) women (On Golden Pond). Her long life included her lengthy and unconventional relationship with Spencer Tracy, who she also played opposite in a number of great movies, including Desk Set, from which film I learnt incidentally all about what a palindrome was! And it never hurt that she also made a number of her earlier films opposite the charming and handsome Cary Grant. To me she was a unique and versatile actress and a role model for women.\n\nIn a completely different vein, I believe my mother was horrified when I got into rugby league as a child (I started watching it because it came on TV after my regularly scheduled viewing of Nancy Drew). Peter Sterling was the half-back for the Parramatta Eels rugby league team during the main period in which I watched rugby. I was drawn to him because he was small and fast (not like some of the players in the other positions who were big and bulky and built for scrums) and he seemed to be everywhere on the field weaving in and out and scoring points. Even if he was tackled by someone larger, he always seemed to come out fighting. During the 1980’s when Parramatta won a number of premierships, he was a star player and I always wished girls could play rugby league too.\n\nSydney indie ska/rock band Spy v Spy were amongst my childhood rock and roll heroes. As a kid I really questioned why everyone seemed to write those ‘boring love songs’. Why were so many songs about love (or sex)? Wasn’t there anything else in the world to write about other than broken hearts or love hearts? Spy vs spy wrote and sang about individual and social injustice. With their rock guitar sound, they put power behind the plight of murder victims, the homeless and marginalised and asked questions about our society. I had all their albums on vinyl and got to see them live once. The combination of the energetic, powerful guitar and drum-driven sound and their political message drew me in, and I thought Doc Martens were cool after having a poster of the Spies wearing Docs on my wall. I wanted to grow up to play rock guitar in a band and sing about the world’s injustices.\n\n4. George from the Famous Five\n\nI always thought Anne was wet: she did dishes and made meals and was kept out of the ‘dangerous’ aspects of the Famous Five adventures by her older brothers, Julian and Dick. They tried to keep George out too, but she embraced adventure and refused to conform to stereotypes of obedient young women of the time. Coming from my own time, I was incensed that the boys would try to exclude her from adventures and that she would be expected to instead attend to domestic matters. She was a tom boy, a spirited heroine who spoke her mind and, with her dog Timmy, she ran headlong into the heart of any mystery. She never wore dresses and I went through an anti-dress phase, seeing it as a form of anti-feminist oppression. I’ve since reconciled with dresses, but my admiration for George’s spiritedness lives on.\n\nWhen I got to University and first joined the Archaeological society, I discovered that along with me, most others had been inspired to study archaeology after we were brought up on a childhood diet of Indiana Jones movies – especially Raiders of the Lost Ark. During the course of studying archaeology we learnt that what Indiana Jones was doing was actually ‘treasure hunting’, where he looked for particular objects and scandalously ripped them from their cultural context with no regard for stratigraphy. However, he made history and archaeology seem cool and brought the past to life, so he remained my dusty book-learning, action-embracing hero.\n\nFiled under A reflective life"

"Clyde Francis Krouse was born in Minden, Louisiana on December 3, 1946 and entered into the arms of Jesus on August 5, 2019 at the age of 72 after a long bout with Alzheimers.\n\nThe funeral service will be Thursday, August 8, 2:00 pm at Eastside Missionary Baptist Church in Minden, Louisiana. Bro. Richard Methvin, Bro. Chet Johnson, Bro Josh Beshea and Brian Mixon will be officiating. Cremation burial will be on the Krouse property in Minden following the service.\n\nAfter working for General Electric in Shreveport, he then worked at Ruskin Manufacturing in Minden for 20 years, retired, got bored so went to work at Branton Oil Tools in Bossier City for 4 years where he thoroughly enjoyed the work and the awesome people there. Finally, he then retired to home being perfectly content.\n\nClyde was a 1964 Minden High School graduate and since he had a genius IQ, he was a long-time member of MENSA and INTERTEL. He loved writing books on Quantum Physics and Black Holes and his own random thoughts about various things “Thoughts of an Uneducated Man”. Two of his humorous short story books are in the Webster Parish Library-Minden: “Raccoons Don’t Have Long, Floppy Ears, Do They?” and “Seen It, Done It, Been There, Ain’t Back Yet”. Since he was forever looking for “usefuls” to be used in his books, you would rarely see him without a pad of paper in his pocket and one of his “special” 2” long pencils. Besides writing, he loved to read, draw or paint, do woodworking, go to craft shows and 3-D Archery with Sharon and Daniel at the Archery Club in Shongaloo to which they belonged. One of his unrealized dreams was doing a video teaching others how to do woodworking. He really enjoyed spending time with friends and telling stories or jokes. He loved uplifting others and making them smile or laugh.\n\nWhen he was in his early 20s, Clyde felt called to the ministry and was enrolled in the ABA Baptist Seminary in Minden and actually preached as a student but life happens and, sadly, he was unable to complete seminary. He went through most of his life thinking he was saved and going to Heaven but September 7, 2011, after retiring for the night, the Holy Spirit convicted Clyde of his sins and he invited Jesus Christ into his life and he was so excited he woke Sharon up to share his good news! He really was a Christian now and headed for Heaven! He was baptized September 11, 2011 by Bro. Richard Methvin at Eastside Missionary Baptist Church where he and Sharon had been members for years. He loved providing Bibles to inmates through the Prison Ministry at Eastside.\n\nThe family would like to express our thanks for all of the prayers, visits, food, support and anything done in need. We would also like to graciously thank all of the St. Joseph Hospice Staff for their amazing, professional, compassionate and loving care provided to Clyde including a loving thank you Linda Wood, Melba Benjamin, Mary Nell Ferguson, Chaplain Josh Beshea and Leigh Davis. Additionally, our love and appreciation go to Donna Greer, Sandy Trout Lee, Kyla Mora, Bro. Richard Methvin, Kenneth Greer, Joe and Debbie Sumrall and Phil Demaline.\n\nIn lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Clyde’s memory to Eastside Missionary Baptist Church, 1201 Park Highway, Minden, LA 71055 or the Alzheimer’s Association."

"The trial passages are located outside the pyramid about 88m to the east of the eastern face of the building at which point the ground level is a meter or so below the level of the pyramid's base line. The interactive drawing shows a close up of the trial passages, and as the name that has been given to this construction suggest, these passages are a duplicate of the actual passages within the pyramid and are thought to be 'trials' which the builders carried out as a test before they built the main structure.\n\nThe features of the pyramid that they are a copy of are marked on the drawing, and of particular note is that the so-called 'vertical' shaft in the middle of the drawing is not in fact vertical as can be seen comparing its side to the vertical white lines that are placed on the drawing. The difference from the vertical is small with the shaft bending away to the left as you drop down it, and this non vertical nature is visible in the original surveying drawings from Petrie from which the interactive drawing was created.\n\nThese trail passages are an integral part of the calibration system of the pyramid's geometry and to understand how they have been positioned you need to view them from above the Giza plateau. If you switch to a plan view of the plateau and then zoom in to the north east corner of the Great Pyramid you can see the trial passages on the right of the drawing isolated from the rest of the structures on the plateau.\n\nThe positioning of the trial passages is not arbitrary, and if you click here to overlay an explanatory drawing you can see that they are positioned 200 cubits away from the eastern side of the Great Pyramid at exactly 1 radian angle from north (top of the screen). The geometry of this positioning conforms to the angle and distance ratio that was first seen in the gallery and has been used on several occasions, and is therefore deliberate.\n\nTo use these 'trial passages' for one of their intended purposes they need to be moved from their constructed position to their geometrically altered position on the east side line of the building, and they will appear on subsequent interactive drawings shown in both their original and moved locations."

"Ontario Premier Doug Ford listen to a question from the media during an announcement at the 3M plant in Brockville, Ontario on Friday, Aug. 21, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS IMAGES/Lars Hagberg\n\nA region west of Toronto comprising roughly three per cent of Ontario’s population currently accounts for nearly half of the province’s new COVID-19 diagnoses, Premier Doug Ford said Friday as he raised the prospect of rolling back reopening measures to contain the situation.\n\nThe latest figures showed Peel Region, a long-standing hotspot for the novel coronavirus, was home to 72 of the 148 new COVID-19 cases reported provincewide.\n\nFord characterized the data as concerning, particularly in recent days. While new cases have consistently stood at five or fewer in the majority of Ontario’s public health units, Peel, Toronto and Ottawa have consistently registered double-digit, upward-trending numbers over the past few weeks.\n\nFord said something is clearly “broken” in the region that includes bedroom communities such as Mississauga and Brampton, calling on residents to heed public health advice and hinting the government was prepared to take action if case levels don’t come down.\n\n“We won’t hesitate to again shut it down,” Ford said at his daily pandemic briefing. “We’re seeing a slow creep, so folks, just follow the protocols.”\n\nThe province’s latest COVID-19 figures, which included no new deaths, showed 41 of the latest cases came from Toronto while 13 surfaced in Ottawa. The rest of Ontario’s public health units registered five cases or fewer, with 12 reporting none at all.\n\nThe new diagnoses bring the province’s total number of confirmed cases to 42,834.\n\nThe slow but steady increase in numbers comes days before the bulk of Ontario students prepare to head back to class under conditions that have generated reactions from scorn to alarm among parents and educators alike.\n\nThe province’s decision not to impose class size caps on elementary school students has drawn widespread criticism from those who argue crowded classrooms will make it impossible to observe the physical distancing measures widely touted by public health officials.\n\nOther critiques centred on the amount of money the province was willing to spend on back-to-school plans, as well as failure to provide clear guidance to school boards or establish clear safety protocols to protect bus drivers.\n\nThe province has pledged $309 million towards reopening schools in the wake of the pandemic and permitted boards to access $500 million of their own reserves in order to fund the return to class. The federal government has since kicked in $381 million in immediate back-to-school aid with the promise of more cash to come by December.\n\nThe plan for reopening schools, along with stubborn infection rates and aspects of the provincial economic revival strategy currently in its third phase, have drawn calls for Ontario’s top doctor to step down before an anticipated second wave of the virus.\n\nThe Registered Nurse’s Association of Ontario was among the most recent to call for Dr. David Williams to resign or be replaced as Chief Medical Officer of Health.\n\nBut Ford dismissed such calls on Friday, vehemently defending the man whose advice he has said forms the core of Ontario’s pandemic response.\n\n“Dr. Williams, in my opinion, is an absolute champion,” he said. “… He’s not the type of person to say, ‘this is what we’re deciding, it’s my way or the highway.’ He talks to all the health experts around the country. I’ll stand beside Dr. Williams any day, any pandemic.”"

"We’ve been hearing a lot about Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York state COVID-19 nursing home deaths scandal lately, but fellow blue states, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and California have similar, though less egregious, stories. But tell the families of the people who were sentenced to death in these other states how “less egregious” they were.\n\nAccording to Bernard Condon and Jennifer Peltz for The Associated Press (AP), “More than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients in New York state were released from hospitals into nursing homes early in the pandemic under a controversial directive that was scrapped amid criticism it accelerated outbreaks, according to new records obtained by The Associated Press.”\n\n“The new number of 9,056 recovering patients sent to hundreds of nursing homes is more than 40% higher than what the state health department previously released. And it raises new questions as to whether a March 25 directive from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration helped spread sickness and death among residents, a charge the state disputes.”\n\nYou have to ask yourself, why would Governor Cuomo and the state of New York order people who had COVID-19 into nursing homes?\n\nWhy would he order the COVID-19 patients into exactly the one place they should not have been sent?\n\nWhy would he intentionally expose the most vulnerable of those among us to the virus?\n\nThe federal government, pressed by President Trump, worked around the clock to set-up New York City’s Jacob Javits Convention Center as a makeshift hospital, along with sending the USS Comfort, a military hospital ship, to New York City for the treatment of COVID patients.\n\nWhy were neither of these resources utilized by Cuomo and the state of New York?\n\nWas it because Cuomo didn’t want to have to give President Trump credit for anything?\n\nThat was definitely part of it, in my opinion.\n\nIn addition, if you recall, back to the early days of the China virus, the democrats and the leftist propaganda media were all about establishing the virus as a legitimate pandemic as quickly as possible, while we were constantly shown, and reminded of, the growing death totals on a daily, and even an hourly basis.\n\nThe faster the death toll supposedly rose, the more they could hammer President Trump.\n\nThat being as it was, Cuomo and New York were deemed the stars of the show!\n\nThe death toll there was piling up quickly and considerably.\n\nCuomo was saying all of the right things, but doing all of the wrong things, which was appreciated by all of the fear mongers and power-hungry politicians, but not by the families of the people who actually counted in those numbers.\n\n‘“The lack of transparency and the meting out of bits of important data has undermined our ability to both recognize the scope and severity of what’s going on and address it,’ said Richard Mollot, the executive director of the Long Term Care Community Coalition, a residents advocacy group.”\n\n“The new figures come as the Cuomo administration has been forced in recent weeks to acknowledge it has been underreporting the overall number of COVID-19 deaths among long-term care residents. It is now nearly 15,000 up from the 8,500 previously disclosed.”\n\nIn other words, the Cuomo administration was happy to run-up the death toll, but not eager to let it be known it was, in part, because of their nursing home policy.\n\n“The Cuomo administration’s March 25 directive barred nursing homes from refusing people just because they had COVID-19. It was intended to free up space in hospitals swamped in the early days of the pandemic. It came under criticism from advocates for nursing home residents and their relatives, who said it had the potential to spread the virus in a state that at the time already had the nation’s highest nursing home death toll.”\n\n“Swamped” is a good choice of words here.\n\nWere the governor’s “swampy” policies attributing to the “swamped” hospital conditions?\n\nMy opinion would be yes.\n\n“Critics have long argued there were many other places those patients could have been sent, including New York City’s Jacob Javits Convention Center, which had been set up as a makeshift hospital, and the USS Comfort military hospital ship. The state contends those facilities were not suitable substitutes for the care of nursing homes.”\n\nDying was the better option in their opinion, obviously.\n\nBy this time the COVID-19 had been established as a serious threat, allowing the blue states to exercise the governmental control they desired.\n\n“State health officials contend that asymptomatic nursing home employees, not recovering COVID-19 patients, were the driving factor in nursing home outbreaks. And they have repeatedly noted that by law, nursing homes weren’t supposed to accept anyone they couldn’t adequately care for.”\n\n‘“At least 98% of nursing home facilities in the state had COVID in their facility before their first admission or readmission, and as we’ve seen across the nation, the major driver of infections appears to be from asymptomatic staff through no fault of their own,’ said state Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker in a statement to the AP.”\n\n“He added that the March 25 directive followed federal guidance, and that the percentage of coronavirus deaths statewide that happened in nursing homes didn’t change from the spring to the fall — after the directive was reversed.”\n\n“A leader of a California group of nursing home clinicians and administrators, however, sees New York officials as seeking to shift blame.”\n\n‘“There has never been any question in my mind that sending COVID-19 patients into completely unprepared, understaffed and under-resourced nursing homes both increased transmission and led to a greater number of deaths,’ said Dr. Michael Wasserman, president of the California Association of Long Term Care Medicine.”\n\n“Cuomo, who wrote a book about his leadership in the virus crisis [as well as winning an Emmy award (for best actor in the role as a concerned and responsible governor)], has repeatedly downplayed criticism of his administration’s handling of nursing homes as a politically motivated ‘blame game.’”\n\n“But the flurry of new disclosures began last month after state Attorney General Letitia James, a fellow Democrat, issued a blistering report accusing the administration of underreporting its long-term care deaths by more than 50%.”\n\n“That was consistent with an AP report from August that focused on the fact that New York is one of the only states that counts just those who died on nursing home property and not those who died after being transported to hospitals.”\n\nWe also learned from a Cuomo assistant, Melissa DeRosa, from a leaked state democrat meeting, that the Cuomo administration intentionally withheld the information from state lawmakers…, and everyone else.\n\n“Under heavy pressure to change its methodology, New York began issuing reports in recent weeks that added thousands more to its long-term care death toll since March. The new data also confirmed that COVID-19 deaths at some nursing homes are double or more what had been previously reported.”\n\n“Overall, New York has lost over 45,000 people to the virus, more than every other state except California, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University.”\n\nYeah…, I guess that’s worthy of writing a “Covid how to” book and winning an Emmy…, in a “democrat only” world."

First is Mini Skirt, a monthly, try-it-on-for-size, post-work event that is social often in a club, where newbies essentially meet other females, sip champagne and cocktails, maybe get some burlesque, community, trade numbers and determine what the idea is about.\n\nThe level that is second the greater risque dress Club: play parties, held about every six months, frequently at private domiciles, which feature themes more bubbly, and intimate play: basically anything from right out bonding to burlesque dance, human body shots and bondage, as Skirt Club co-director Renee Nyx told news.au in 2016.\n\nUndoubtedly that has been the knowledge in Sydney, says Ms LeJeune, in Melbourne for the launch of this latest club.\n\nSince we launched in June 2016 we now have hosted parties more or less every three months, she said.\n\nThe lace and theme that is latex are of this most well known for Skirt Club. Image: Victoria Dawe Source:Supplied\n\nThe event themes which have shown most widely used are the Shibari rope bondage celebration (gown code: latex and lace) additionally the Queen of Hearts party (gown rule: Queens and rabbits that are white, she says.\n\nOur networking Mini Skirt activities have actually turned out to be in the same way popular as the signature occasions.\n\nIn our very first 12 months we offered away from seats for each occasion.

"According to a paper namely ‘’Lightning Network: a second path towards centralization of the Bitcoin economy’’ released recently uttering that lightning has an ‘’unequal wealth distribution’’ with a smaller percentage of nodes on the network respectively accumulating a larger proportion of bitcoin. Developers along with researchers have been attempting to spot holes in the network with an eye to making lightning sturdier. Bitcoin’s lightning network is walking along the way to centralizations which is prone to attacks. According to researchers, a small number of nodes are controlling a large percentage of funds which keeps the network at stake. It is thought that deducting hubs leads to the collapse of the network into many components. But the way towards centralization is fleeting and developers are highly attempting to make the lightning easier for operators.\n\nA payment in lightning network needs to go through several nodes to reach its destination. A number of nodes inactively take place on the brink of the network for sending and receiving a payment on the contrary to that ‘’routine nodes’’ in the middle are performing the heavy lifting of passing payments across the network. A smaller portion of intermediary nodes are commencing to shepherd a higher percentage of payments.\n\nChristian Decker, a lightning engineer at Blockstream, said they are trying to lower the obstacles in the way of using a routine node in the network. And it’s not wondering more casual users aren’t running routine nodes on the network. Even it is not wondering to Decker that a number of stable nodes are run by few tech- savvy people. According to him, to achieve their goal, a hobbyist with sufficient knowledge has to set up a node and actively compete with the other operators in the network.\n\nVery recently a paper released by a researcher saying about the process of executing a ‘’congestion attack’’ on the lightning network which makes users think and creates problems in sending payments. According to the paper the disruption of the lightning network can be possible by locking most of its liquidity using less than half a bitcoin. This imagined attack costs only about $4,000 to disrupt the network. It is assumed that the research makes instigation to harden the payment system. Maybe, the progress can come through publicly discussing both upsides and downsides of the protocol and the network.",

"Earlier this year, the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Shanghai Museum organized two separate exhibitions of artifacts recovered from the early Bronze Age Erlitou site. The two exhibitions shared a name, “Heyi Zhongguo,” which the Palace Museum translated as “The Making of Zhongguo,” and the Shanghai Museum as “The Essence of China.” Both translations reflect the growing consensus that Erlitou was the capital of the mythic Xia dynasty — the first dynasty according to traditional Chinese historiography, though one that left no historical records of its own.\n\nThe Xia capital hypothesis dates back almost 70 years, but it has gained new currency thanks to China’s renewed emphasis on archaeology as a means of nation-building. In 2019, the nearby city of Luoyang opened the Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital and began applying for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status for the site. Support for Erlitou as the Xia capital has only grown since then, peaking this year with the two major exhibitions and a Sept. 16 press conference by the National Cultural Heritage Administration at which Zhang Haitao, the head of the Erlitou team at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, declared that new discoveries “lent more substance to the assertion that the Erlitou site was the capital of the Xia dynasty.”\n\nThere is just one problem: There is no textual evidence for the existence of the Xia, much less for the assertion that Erlitou was its capital. The rush to declare Erlitou proof of the Xia reflects a myopia that has characterized Chinese archaeology for a century. Without textual corroboration, no number of artifacts from Erlitou can prove the Xia existed, even as the persistent quest to do so blinds us to the real insights the site offers into the origins of early state formation in what is today’s China.\n\nAncient texts like the “Records of the Grand Historian” from the 1st century B.C. refer to the existence of a Xia dynasty prior to the Shang dynasty (roughly 1600-1046 B.C.). In the 1950s, Xu Xusheng, a prominent historian and researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Archaeology, decided to use archaeological methods to back up his more traditional textual analyses of the Xia’s origins. Believing that the Xia referred to a Xia clan or tribe, Xu used documentary sources to identify either the plains of Luoyang in what is now the central province of Henan or the Lower Fen River in the neighboring Shanxi province as two possible areas of activity for a prehistoric Xia clan. He then traveled to Henan to conduct an archaeological survey, where he discovered the Erlitou site and subsequently penned his famous “Preliminary Report on the 1959 Survey of the ‘Ruins of Xia’ in Western Henan.”\n\nWhat followed was a self-reinforcing loop of speculation. In 1977, Xia Nai proposed that from an archaeological standpoint, Xia culture should refer to “the culture of the Xia people during the Xia dynasty.” Archaeologist Zou Heng agreed and declared that “Erlitou culture was Xia culture.” He also summarized three characteristics of Xia culture: First, its pottery tended to have a round base; second, the excavation of a bronze cauldron at Erlitou suggested that bronze vessels were already being cast in the early Xia culture; and third, its ritual vessels included goblets, jue (wine holders), and he (a three or four-legged vessel used to hold or pour wines).",

"The theory’s weak foundations have not escaped notice. After all, there is still no proof that the Xia existed. But some scholars are nonetheless predisposed to regard ancient references to the Xia dynasty as credible, arguing that China’s earliest historical documents should be held “innocent until proven guilty.” That is, ancient texts or records should be believed as true until there is sufficient evidence to prove otherwise.\n\nThis is hardly convincing. Ancient records are the creation of ancient minds; they are the product of history, not history itself. To that end, using them as reference necessitates a process of identification and verification. A few modern Chinese historians have argued for a textual criticism approach to historiography, most notably historian Gu Jiegang, whose 1926 book “Doubts on Ancient History” highlighted the ambiguity of some ancient historical records.\n\nDocumentary and archaeological remains are very different kinds of evidence. In ancient societies, only the elites could read and write, so literacy was a tool for their rule and memories. Records of the Xia dynasty first appeared in the Western Zhou dynasty (1045-771 B.C.), but it is absent from oracle bone inscriptions made during the late Shang dynasty. Scholars like Yang Kuan, Chen Mengjia, and Gu Jiegang have all argued that Western Zhou rulers might have exaggerated the Xia as an all-powerful dynasty to advance their own agenda: justifying the destruction of the Shang.\n\nUnfortunately, Gu’s spirit of skepticism suffered a major blow when details of the Shang royal line recovered from oracle bones were found to be consistent with ancient documents, casting doubt on his critical approach. Many archaeologists today acknowledge the importance of skepticism but also generally dismiss it as the product of a negative attitude.\n\nAncient records are the creation of ancient minds; they are the product of history, not history itself.\n- Chen Chun, archaeologist\n\nThe quest to find the Xia obscures a far more important question: Do the accounts of the Xia in ancient texts really suggest the existence of an early state as contemporary cultural anthropology would define the term? The formation of a state is generally defined by the establishment of institutionalized power, of which a key feature is the rise of a bureaucratic government. Attempts to identify the roots of early state formation should be based on excavated materials that independently point to the levels of social development in Erlitou. Instead of searching for the Xia, we should be looking for evidence of bureaucratic government formation and, based on dynamic changes in settlement patterns, tracing the transformation of a social organization as it moved from kinship-based to territorial relationships.\n\nIn other words, rather than being mutually corroborating, historiography and archaeology should complement each other. Historiography is suitable for top-down reconstructions of history, in which documentary records are used to construct a kind of political history. Archaeological materials work better for a bottom-up reconstruction of history. Although material cultures are not as self-evident as texts, they offer all kinds of information vital to reconstructing the development of various facets of life, including ecological environments, subsistence, economic trade, handicraft production, population growth, diets, nutrition and pathology, population distribution and migration, social structure, and ideology.\n\nThe search for the Xia is an entertaining mystery, but it cannot be treated as the most important, most fulfilling aspect of exploring the origins of Chinese civilization. Doing so results in important issues being ignored and makes it difficult to delve deeper into the causality of Chinese history. As it is, the findings of Chinese archaeologists continue to struggle to earn international recognition and our work is not treated as part of an equal dialogue.\n\nThat’s a shame. Understanding the origins of civilization is a topic of global importance, and a field to which China has much to offer. But first we must transcend our own narrow historical perspective, draw more comparisons between our own and other explorations of early civilizations, and humbly and openly learn from international experience. By doing so, we can improve the quality and influence of our scholarship and turn our academic findings into part of humankind’s knowledge base.\n\n(Header image: A turquoise-inlaid plaque on display at the Erlitou Site Museum of the Xia Capital, Henan province, Feb. 4, 2022.

"New Delhi: Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas & Steel Dharmendra Pradhan has appealed to the Indian students from various top global universities to come and innovate in India, to explore the emerging opportunities. He was interacting with a vibrant group of young overseas Indian scholars, students and friends, yesterday on last-mile energy access in India.",
null,
"Articulating India’s energy vision, Pradhan said, “Hon’ble Prime Minister Modi has envisioned a clear roadmap for India’s energy future which rests on five key enablers of energy availability and accessibility for all, energy affordability to the poorest of the poor, efficiency in energy use, energy sustainability for combating climate change as a responsible global citizen and energy security for mitigating global uncertainties.”\n\nSpeaking about Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, Pradhan said, “We introduced the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana(PMUY) scheme, in 2016. Its objective is to provide LPG cooking gas connections, free of cost to 80 million poor households. I am happy to inform you that we could achieve the target of 80 million customers well ahead of schedule. With this, LPG connections are now available to 98% of the households in India, up from just about 56% in the year 2014.”\n\nAbout self-reliance in oil and gas sector, Pradhan said, “PM Modi has set a target for reduction of 10 percent in energy import dependency by 2022. In this regard, the government has taken several policy as well as administrative measures to augment domestic oil and gas production and reduce dependency on imports for meeting the energy requirements of the country.”\n\nHe also talked about India’s energy diplomacy and said, “India has made its presence felt in the global energy map. India under leadership of PM Modi is leading the voice of consuming countries demanding for reasonable and affordable price of energy. We are engaging with OPEC, IEA, IEF and all other major voices in the world energy discussions. India has engaged with the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and all major energy producers, under a policy of diversification of supply sources.”\n\nSpeaking about India’s transition to gas-based economy, he said, “India is set to emerge as one of the primary drivers of growth in gas demand in Asia, despite the pressing Covid-19 challenges. Today, share of natural gas in India’s energy mix is about 6.3%. We have taken an ambitious target to increase the share of natural gas to 15% by 2030.”\n\nOn the current pandemic, the Minister said, “We are in the midst of an outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic that challenges the fundamental assumptions of our lives. While the immediate economic impact may slow us down, we are presented with an opportunity to pause, rethink, and redesign.”\n\nDwelling upon the economic package announced during the pandemic, he said, “Prime Minister Modi has announced a massive stimulus package of $ 265 billion – accounting for 10% of India’s GDP, to deal with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Major reforms were announced for a self-reliant India that seek to convert Covid-19 challenges into an opportunity, and for becoming global manufacturing hub of the 21st century. Energy infrastructure is an integral component of these reforms.”"

"The recently-crowned European champions from Ireland finish second ahead of Team Brazil in third; no winner of €50,000 bonus on offer to four riders tonight",
null,
"It was history in the making when the United Arab Emirates crushed their considerably more experienced opponents to win the Challenge Cup at the Longines FEI Nations Cup™ Jumping Final under the lights of the Real Club de Polo in Barcelona (ESP) tonight. They finished second-last of the 15 participating nations in yesterday’s first qualifier when collecting a total of 34 faults so looked way out of contention going into this competition reserved for the seven teams that didn’t make the cut into tomorrow night’s series title-decider.\n\nBut tonight they never touched a pole, and even more impressively they came out on top without having to call up their fourth team member. It was something of a walkover, with their three time faults leaving them six faults clear of the new European champions from Ireland, while Team Brazil slotted into third with an 11-fault finishing score.",
null,
"They even had the worst of the draw, with 33-year-old Abdullah Mohammed Al Marri first to take on Santiago Varela’s 13-fence course which demanded both accuracy and speed. With his mare, Sama Dubai FBH, he made it look easy however when picking up just two time faults, and then Abdullah Humaid Al Muhairi and Cha Cha Cha posted an extraordinary clear only to be followed by a single time fault for Mohammed Ghanem Al Hajri and Pour le Poussage.\n\nThere was a look of near-disbelief on many UAE supporter’s faces when they realised that, even without the help of anchorman Sheikh Majid Al Qassimi and Celtion, they already had it all wrapped up.\n\nDelighted UAE Chef d’Equipe, Karl Schneider, reckoned it was their poor start that spurred his side to success tonight. “Sheikh Majid is normally our best rider, but yesterday he was first to go and he didn’t have a good time, maybe his horse didn’t travel well, but anyway I think that shocked all the other boys and that’s why they didn’t ride well. So we changed the team order for today and put him in last, and I was only joking when I said that maybe he might not have to jump tonight!”\n\nThis result is no fluke however, it’s the result of years of effort.\n\n“We’ve been working really hard setting the basis for the sport in our country, and for the first time we had more than four riders to choose from for a Nations Cup which was brilliant, and we chose the four that were in form and thankfully we did well!” Al Marri said.",

"He is based in France where he works as a policeman and has been training with America’s Alice Debany Clero for the last 12 years. “The other three boys are in my stable in Bonn, Germany, the same place as Henrik von Eckermann, and they were all the summer with me. So we made a good plan about Abdullah’s shows and Al Marri came with Alice to join us, and the boys got a bit of experience of being together and finally it worked really well!” explained Chef d’Equipe Schneider.\n\nAlice Debany Clero, who suffered a badly-broken leg in a fall from a young horse five months ago and has been course-walking all week on crutches, explained her connection to the winning team. “I started working for Princess Haya back in 2000 and I coached her at the Olympics in Sydney and we remained very close friends. She hired me in 2005, so I’m about to start my 13th season with Dubai” she said.\n\nPrincess Haya, Former FEI President and wife of Sheikh Mohammed, ruler of Dubai said tonight, “I’m so thrilled, so proud of this success, after all the hard work they’ve invested over the years; they really deserved this!”"

"There is not a single horse enthusiast who doesn’t appreciate Knabstrupper horses.This adorable horse breed is recognized mostly due to its remarkable fully spotted leopard coat that they possess. If you observe them from a distance, they may look like a group of giant leopards wandering around in nature. But they are kind horses and are known for their durability and speed.\n\nDue to their unique color and absolute rarity, Knabstruppers were used by royal and aristocratic people. White ones were used as cart horses, and on several occasions, they were also used as a mound of a king for crowning celebrations. Although everyone recognizes a Knabstrupper horse as soon as they see one, they are still considered one of the most mysterious breeds around and their history is unknown for many people.\n\nThe entire breed began with a mare named Flaebehoppen which means Flaeb’s mare. Many people mistake them for Appaloosa horses because they have identical color genes as them. This color gene is called the Leopard complex, which produces the spotted coat patterns.\n\nIt’s actually very weird that they have the same gene because as we know they were developed independently from each other. Their living expectancy is about 27.5 years and they are recognized for having no breed-specific health problems.\n\nFor everyone who is looking to buy a Knabstrupper horse the good news is that they are easy to maintain as long as you feed them with grass, maize, vegetables, and forage. In the video shown below, you will have the opportunity to see some beautiful Knabstrupper horses walking peacefully on the snow. Have a look at the following video posted on Facebook by “Naradek The Knabstrupper, His Daughter Lady Belle And Our Sweet Kamali”."

"Director Steven Spielberg brings J.M. Barrie's PETER PAN to the screen with a delightfully modernized twist. Forty-year-old Peter (Robin Williams) has grown up to be a workaholic lawyer with more affection for his cell phone than his wife and two children. When the family travels to England to visit Granny Wendy (Maggie Smith), Peter's son and daughter are kidnapped by the villainous Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman). Peter's faithful pal, Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), helps him return to Neverland--\"Second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning\"--to the world Peter has forgotten. There the Lost Boys welcome Peter back and try to get him in shape for his fight with Captain Hook. Peter must somehow remember his long-forgotten boyhood in Neverland and learn how to fly again before he can rescue his children away from the evil clutches of Captain Hook. Bob Hoskins costars as Hook's right-hand man, Smee, and Gwyneth Paltrow, in her first film role, plays the young Wendy. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for John Williams's \"When You're Alone.\"\n\nSteven Spielberg directed this delightfully grown-up fairy tale about an adult Peter Pan and his evil nemesis, Captain Hook. Peter Banning (Robin Williams) is a 40-year-old corporate lawyer too busy with his work to notice his family. But when Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps his children, he is forced to remember who he really is: Peter Pan. With the help of Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), he returns to Neverland and leads the Lost Boys in a fight against Hook's dastardly pirates."

"I learned the technique of foldback charts from George Lindsay. I last commented on the chart you see above here. You will also find a description of the foldback idea in that post.\n\nAt this juncture I think the market is headed for a top at EE, predicted by the March 2000 top labeled E. The date for this predicted top is March 1, 2006. This is a full 2 months before the prediction generated by the Three Peaks and Domed House which started from the January 2005 top. We'll just have to look for more clues of the impending bull market top as the rally proeceeds into 2006.\nPosted by Carl Futia at 10:51 AM"

"Love Island Australia season two has just started airing on ITV2 with viewers meeting a new line-up of contestants. Among them is Vanessa Sierra, 26, who fans are already desperate to know more about. Given the show was filmed back in 2019, here’s everything she’s been up to since.\n\nFans of Married At First Sight Australia are likely to be devastated that the show has now come to an end on E4.\n\nHowever, there will still be a daily dose of Australian reality television on UK screens as Love Island Australia begins on ITV2.\n\nThe second season of the dating show is now airing on weeknights on the channel.\n\nMany viewers are already hooked but given the show was actually broadcast in Australia back in 2019, some might be wondering what the contestants are up to now.\n\nSomeone who made a big first impression was Vanessa who joined the show in search of love.",

"She spoke about the decision in a video on another of her Instagram accounts at the time.\n\nVanessa said: “I’ve worked on my social media for a very long time.\n\n“I don’t use it for fun, I use it for business. The f**ked up thing is that if someone loses their job because of COVID, everyone feels sorry for them.\n\n“No one understands how f**ked it is to lose your job and have no one give a s**t because it falls under the category of social media.\n\n“Everyone who says ‘get a real job’ – little do you guys know, social media supports myself, I hire my brother full time, I hire another person full time, I support my grandmother and other people in my family.”\n\nVanessa is also currently in a high-profile relationship with tennis professional Bernard Tomic, 28.\n\nThe pair went public with their relationship back in November and have kept fans updated on their romance on social media.\n\nBefore finding love with Tomic, fans of MAFSA may also be surprised to know she dated one of the show’s stars.\n\nVanessa and Dan Webb dated back in 2019 before she went into the Love Island villa.\n\nDan and Jess were a couple on MAFSA before splitting up at the end of filming.\n\nLove Island Australia airs on ITV2 on weekdays at 9pm."

"In November a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel is expected to approve the use of a Merck drug to treat the Covid virus. It claims to reduce symptoms and slice the number of hospitalizations.\n\nMost victims today are told to stay home after a positive virus test, and they are not seriously treated unless so sick they must be hospitalized.\n\nMerck has a better idea – treatment at the onset of the illness to prevent the victims from getting sicker. Until now, that’s how other illnesses are handled – instead of just relying on vaccines for prevention, or critical care if patients are nearly dead.\n\nGood news: the drug – molnupiravir (MK-4482) – is a convenient pill, which can be stored on a shelf without degradation.\n\nBad news: it won’t be cheap for American taxpayers, who will fork over $712 per treatment, thanks to a U.S. government contract last year to buy 1.7 million treatment courses for $1.2 billion, as soon as the drug receives regulatory clearance.\n\nIt doesn’t cost $712 to manufacture the five-day course of pills. India is preparing to sell an equivalent for $12, partly because production costs are cheaper there, but mostly because there is less greed and more regulation, compared to the “free-for-all” market here.\n\nThis drug was developed by Emory University, using U.S. government taxpayer funds in 2003, and then licensed by Ridgeback Biotherapeutics last year. FDA authorization was stymied in 2020, forcing Ridgeback to go to Merck.\n\nResearchers have reportedly pegged the cost of production at $17.74 here, meaning any price above $20 would yield big profits if billions of doses are sold.\n\n“This price ($712) is equal to about 35 times the estimated sustainable generic price,” according to Melissa Barber of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Dzintars Gotham of the King’s College Hospital.\n\nThat’s also 46 times as much as Indian manufacturers plan to charge for a generic version, according to Leena Menghaney, the South Asia head of Médecins Sans Frontières Access Campaign.\n\nAfter public criticism of the cost of the antiviral, a Merck executive, Dr. Nicholas Kartsonis, said the price it charged the U.S. government isn’t the final figure.\n\n“We set that price before we had any data, so that’s just one contract,” Kartsonis told the AP.\n\nObviously we’re going to be responsible about this and make this drug as accessible to as many people around the world as we can, he claimed.\n\nBut Merck is not changing the contract, and it still wants to charge Americans the highest price, while it negotiates low prices with other countries.\n\nA press release said Merck was “committed to providing timely access to molnupiravir globally, if it is authorized or approved, and plans to implement a tiered pricing approach based on World Bank country income criteria to reflect countries’ relative ability to finance their health response to the pandemic.”\n\nThat means charge the suckers in America dozens of times what the folks in other countries are willing to pay.\n\nCheck out this logic:\n\nMerck’s drug is lower than a lot of the other treatments right now … and certainly a lot cheaper in the United States than ending up in a hospital,” according to James Love, director of Knowledge Ecology International.\n\nRemdesivir – the only approved treatment for the hospitalized cases – costs a few dollars to produce and was sold to the U.S. government for $2,340 a course. Monoclonal antibody courses, used to treat mild or asymptomatic virus cases, are about $2,100 per course.",

"EVEN before the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for Emerging Infectious Diseases gives it the green light, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 League is already preparing itself for a potential return to action in a bubble setup.\n\nOfficials from the league led by commissioner Eric Altamirano met with teams on Thursday to discuss the matters on how the league will work once the government gives a clearance.\n\n\"We had to be very thorough and detailed during the meeting with the team owners since we can't leave no stones unturned especially with the pandemic still on-going,\" he said.\n\nTwelve teams are slated to compete in the first conference of the newly turned professional 3x3 league.\n\nHeadlining the list of teams are San Juan-Go for Gold, Sulu, Porac-Big Boss Cement, Mindoro, and a pair of teams from Sta.

Kumpleto na, may hotel sa loob. Really nice facility,\" said Altamirano. \"And one thing we requested from them is once we get into the bubble, kami lang yung tao sa loob ng campus, so that will really assure that everyone will be safe and air-tight.\"\n\nSo how will Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 League pull it off?\n\nFirst off will be the testing as everyone who enters the bubble will be subject to COVID-19 test, to be organized by the UP Science and Society Program led by Dr. Butch Ong.\n\n\"Right before we enter, there’s going to be a series of testings, so that is probably five to seven days prior to the entry to the bubble. Magkakaroon ng PCR testing ang mga players, and then on the day itself, we’re gonna have a rapid test, so that will ensure us that whoever goes into the bubble will be safe,\" explained Altamirano.\n\nEmergency contingency plans are also in place in the event that someone tests positive.\n\n\"Of course, if they are tested positive, we will not allow them and they will have to be isolated,\" said Altamirano, with the league set to utilize the contact tracing app of GET Philippines Inc.\n\n\"We wanna ensure na if ever there’s an eventuality of a positive case, then we will be able to report it and be able to trace the people na naka-interact ng player or whoever na COVID positive.\"\n\nRoutine disinfections are also in place when the games return.\n\nAll of these safety protocols are in line with the Joint Administrative Order (JAO) co-signed by the Games and Amusements Board (GAB), the Department of Health, and the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).\n\nChooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 is looking to start its 2020 season in mid-September, with the league's first conference set to stage six legs each. It plans to hold three conferences, lasting until February of 2021.\n___"

"Bananas need sex if they are to survive into ripe old age(Source: RedHelga/iStockphoto)\n\nBetter bananas A study retracing the bananas' family tree has found their wild ancestors have rarely crossbred in the last seven thousand years, strengthening calls to diversify the popular crop.\n\nThe standard yellow banana currently found on most supermarket shelves are mass cultivated as infertile clones and are therefore genetically identical.\n\nBut this makes them particularly susceptible to disease, pests and ecological challenges, writes a team of European and Australian scientists in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\nCo-author Dr Mark Donohue, from the Australian National University in Canberra, says 85 per cent of cultivated bananas are for local consumption.\n\n\"This means that any disruption to the supply of bananas will have immediate consequences ... possibly leading to famines,\" he says.\n\nIn order to be able to generate diversity and improve future banana crops, the authors of the study believe it is necessary to understand which species were historically crossed and selected for breeding.\n\nTo reconstruct the banana's geographical spread and its road to domestication they analysed genetic, linguistic and archaeological data.\n\n\"The genetic descent is one thing, but knowing whether they [bananas] are being used by humans is another.\"\n\n\"The archaeologists could tell us when they were actually being used, the geneticists could tell us which direction and which kind of cross-breeding happened and, through the linguistics, we managed to get an idea of how culturally important bananas were for the regions they were in,\" explains Donohue.\n\nGenetic analysis showed that bananas in the islands around Southeast Asia and Western Melanesia hybridised into subspecies that could not have formed without human intervention.\n\nLinguistic research identified more than 1100 terms from different languages that relate to banana varieties. They also found four key derivations of the term for banana, each suggestive of a different dispersal trajectory.\n\nWhile the new research may provide a basis on which to formulate a banana breeding strategy, Donohue believes we also need to encourage local diversity.\n\nThere are hundreds of varieties of bananas, from plantains to ladyfingers, and there are many more yet to be documented.\n\n\"Many parts of the world, like Indonesia, don't really know the sort of genetic diversity that's out there - there's never been a survey,\" says Donohue.\n\n\"Given the different kinds of climate we see, from New Guinea to South East Asia, there's probably a specialised variety, already being grown or present in the wild, that can hit that [disease resilient] niche quite well if we could only find it.\"\n\nIn the 1950s, a fungal disease, known as Panama disease, led to huge losses of 'Gros Michel,' then the biggest export and most widely consumed banana variety.\n\nSimilarly, the Irish Potato famine in the 19th century was the result of over-reliance on a few varieties of potato.\n\nJonathan Eccles, CEO of the Australian Banana Growers' Council, says that while there are no banana breeding programs in Australia, they do evaluate different varieties through their research program.\n\n\"The whole supply chain has to be taken into account when evaluating different varieties,\" he says.\n\nThis includes whether there is consistent productivity and the length of transport time, as well as market attributes such as flavour characteristics.\n\n\"Offering a range of products, such as plantain, is a good way to encourage expansion of banana varieties,\" says Eccles."

"Batuqui: a Taste of Brazil in Cleveland\n\nHaving lived in Northeastern Brazil for a while (in the foodie paradise of Salvador) we developed a pretty healthy taste for the cuisine of the region, steeped in a unique combination of European, African and native Brazilian flavors. It is rare to find that kind of cuisine in the US, where the Brazilian steakhouse reigns supreme, so we were floored that we found such a place – Batuqui (12706 Larchmere Boulevard) – right in our new hometown of Cleveland.",
null,
"What do you mean it doesn’t look like Brazil?\n\nThe owners of Batuqui are from Bahia and Minas Gerais (the state just south of Bahia), in my opinion the best regions for what what would be considered home-style Brazilian cooking. Batuqui is located in a Victorian house on the East Side of Cleveland, and you really feel like you are eating in someone’s house, right down to the cozy, working fireplace. However, you do get a bit of the tropical atmosphere with the bright colors, Brazilian artwork and fresh flowers. There is even a little fully-stocked wooden bar in the front room, doling out caipirinhas, Brazilian beer, and South American wines to the regulars. On the nonalcoholic side you could also get tropical juices and refreshing Guaraná soda.",
null,
"The menu at Batuqui changes with the seasons, and features classic Brazilian dishes (with an emphasis on the Northeast). we were impressed by their selection of salgadinhos (salty snacks) that are a Brazilian staple: including linguiça sausage and fried yuca ($10) and bolinho de balcalhau – codfish fritters ($9). We started off with pão de queijo ($8), a cheesy bread from Minas Gerais, and L’s all time favorite snack. These were delicious, hot and fresh out of the oven.",

"For entrees, you can get a classic feijoada, a mixed meat and black bean stew, or go a little lighter with seafood pasta. M saw his favorite cut of beef, picanha ($26), which is somewhat difficult to get in the US, so he had to order it. Bahian food is known for its use of bright red palm oil (dendê), which to some is an acquired taste, but we really love the flavor (and color) it gives everything. L was waffling between two dendê-laden choices: the moqueca (a Bahian coconut milk and shrimp stew) and xim xim ($16), a chicken stew over rice. In the end, L went with the xim xim. Both entrees had surprisingly generous portions, and tasted as if they had been transported right from Brazil. The xim xim was colorful, fragrant and brightly flavored, and the pichana was cooked perfectly and arrived sizzling on a cast iron platter. As an added bonus, the picanha also came with salad, rice, beans and farofa, toasted manioc flour used like breadcrumbs.",

"To finish we had passion fruit mousse ($6) and brigadeiros (chocolate caramel truffles), two quintessentially Brazilian desserts. Everything at Batuqui was delicious, and really authentic, definitely one of the best Brazilian meals we have had in the US. The service was also warm and friendly, a major plus. Dining at Batuqui really felt like you were dining at a Brazilian friend’s house, albeit one smack dab in the middle of snowy Cleveland."

"You know when some things aren’t real till they’re real…. does that sound fluffy? Sorry for that, but that’s the best way to describe what it feels like right now. This is all of a sudden very real. This MBA-thing.\nI’ve Euro-starred in succesfully this afternoon, arriving all relaxed at LBS. I took the taxi over from Waterloo Station (no way I was lugging the amount of luggage over on public transport), and the cabbie was very nice (in fact, most of the London cabbies I’ve met are really nice). Interesting facts I learned from him: some cabbies can make up to 85,000 GBP per year before tax… and he reckoned the number of tourists had gone down 50% since the bombings in July. Plus a good tip on food: go where the cabbies go, it’s cheap and usually fairly good, with a recommendation for the best fish and chips joint in London.\nI got my swipe-card/identification pass which has a picture of me looking like a rabbit caught in headlights on it. And I got a sim-card which I stuck into an old mobile phone, so I’ve got an English mobile number. Went to dinner with classmates I met at the Open Weekend and then onto the daily pubnights the incoming students are organizing for the flathunt. But now I’m knackered… I need a good night’s sleep.\nI want to share this blog which I found, which is from a writer and dare I say it, inspirational speaker, seeking to integrate buddha in the workplace. Some of the stuff he has to say is pretty sensible.\nPS The pic attached is of a statue in the quad of LBS."

"Children who undergo several CT scans are more likely to develop cancer later in life, according to some recent research. In fact, some research has shown that being subjected to CT scans of the as a child can triple the risk that patients will suffer from brain tumors and leukemia years later.\n\nIt’s long been known that children are more vulnerable to the effects of medical radiation from CT scans and X-rays, and doctors have been advised to limit the use of such scans in this patient population. Because of cancer concerns associated with medical imaging, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has pressured the makers of X-rays and CT scan devices to factor in the safety of pediatric patients when using existing machines and designing new ones.\n\nCT, or computed tomography, scans involve much more radiation than traditional X-ray techniques. At least four million children a year receive CT scans in the U.S., and researchers estimate that a third of the scans are unnecessary or could be replaced by safer tests like ultrasound or MRIs, which do not use radiation. In 2012, the FDA told the makers of CT scan and X-ray machines to ensure that their new equipment includes settings and instructions that minimize radiation hazards for kids. If they do not, the FDA said it will require they include a label on machines that recommend they not be used for children at all. The agency has advised parents to ask their doctors if a CT scan is the best option or if there’s a radiation-free alternative when one is ordered for their child. The FDA also says that parents should track how many CT scans their child receives.\n\nIn June 2012, a study published in The Lancet found that children who underwent multiple CT scans of the head and neck had triple the risk of developing brain tumors and leukemia later on. For the study, researchers from the U.S. National Cancer Institute and Newcastle University in the U.K. collected data on almost 180,000 British patients under age 22 who had CT scans between 1985 and 2002, including cases of leukemia, brain tumors, how many scans were done and radiation dose absorbed by the brain and bone marrow. The study team counted 74 cases of leukemia, and 135 cases of brain cancer. The researchers concluded that the risk of brain tumors was tripled if children had two to three scans and the risk of leukemia was tripled with five to 10 scans.\n\nAn editorial in The Lancet noted that the study’s findings support earlier risk estimates that compared the dose of radiation received via a CT scans to amounts received by survivors of the atomic bombing of Japan, who had an increased risk of cancer. According to the editorial, at least a dozen other research groups around the world were studying or planning to study CT effects on children.\n\nIf you or someone you love developed leukemia, a brain tumor or another cancer that you believe may be the result of\nchildhood CT scans, you may have valuable legal rights.

"If you ask someone “Why do fish school?” you will likely get “to avoid predators” for an answer. After all, the more eyes you have watching the harder it is for anything to sneak up on you. Furthermore, if a predator does manage to attack, each individual fish in a large group has fairly low odds of being the one who gets eaten. Diving the Great Barrier Reef has, however, given me cause to ask a slightly different question: Why are so many predatory fish schooling too?",
null,
"During the course of this trip I have encountered large schools of snappers, grunts, barracudas, and jacks. The jacks make the best photographic subjects because they appear completely un-intimidated by divers or air bubbles, although being surrounded by a school of fifty giant trevallies can be a bit unnerving.",
null,
"Bigeye jacks showing no fear of a diver’s bubbles.\n\nIt turns out there are several good reasons for fish to school even if they are high on the food chain. Hanging out in schools gives fish access to plenty of attractive mates, which explains why some of the jacks I have seen have displayed the characteristic dark spots of males looking for a suitable mate.",
null,
"Schools also, unsurprisingly, provide learning opportunities as fish can become aware of new food sources and how to hunt them by copying each other (Takahashi et al. 2014). A group of predators is also more successful at attacking schooling prey than a single predator would be attacking alone (Handegard et al. 2012). Finally, schooling by predators may be part of a competitive arms race between various species. The aforementioned giant trevallies I saw successfully chased a school of about thirty chevron barracudas off the reef.",
null,
"The school of giant trevally that chased off the barracudas.\n\nOf course, it also is possible that even scary predatory fish species like giant trevallies and chevron barracuda actually school because they are afraid of an even greater predator. I, however, prefer not to think too much about this possibility given the amount of time I spend in the ocean.",

"You can still turn up and vote in the PNG election if you are not on the common roll.\n\nFalse. Only those registered on the updated 2022 common roll can vote.\n\nVoting is underway for the 2022 election in Papua New Guinea (PNG), with millions of citizens to exercise their democratic right over the next few weeks.\n\nHowever, a Facebook post (screenshot here) is claiming people who are not enrolled to vote can still do so by showing identification or filling in a form at a polling place.\n\n“If your name is not on it just turn up with a valid ID and vote,” one of the posts reads. Another suggests asking at the polling booth for “Form 57” to fill in.\n\nThe claims are false.\n\nThe Organic Law on National and Local Level Government Elections in PNG prohibits people from voting if they are not enrolled on the common roll (Section 61).\n\nMaholopa Laveil, from the School of Business and Public Policy at the University of Papua New Guinea, confirmed voters would have to be on the updated roll.\n\n“The presiding electoral officer will only accept ID for the purpose of verifying names on the roll,” he told AAP FactCheck in an email.\n\n“The only person allowed to vote in an electorate for which s/he is not enrolled, is a candidate contesting in that electorate.”\n\nSection 131 of the Organic Law supports Mr Laveil’s comments. It reads: “A candidate is entitled to vote in the electorate for which he is a candidate whether or not his name is on the Roll for that electorate.”\n\nA voter awareness toolkit published by the Papua New Guinea Electoral Commission also makes clear that a person will not be allowed to vote if their name is not on the electoral roll (page 5).\n\nPNG elections are often marred by violence and it is feared misinformation around voting procedures and the common roll could spark fresh disorder.\n\nAny citizen of Papua New Guinea over the age of 18 is required by law to enrol to vote. New eligible voters or people who need to update their enrolment details must contact an enrolment agent and submit a claim.\n\nClaims for enrolment must be received before 4pm on the day the writs were issued for the election, which was May 12, 2022.\n\nMany of the false posts are connected to claims that the updated 2022 roll has been abandoned in favour of the 2012 version.\n\nTerence Wood, a research fellow at the Development Policy Centre at ANU, said he had seen “no evidence” the updated 2022 roll had been abandoned.\n\nHe said it would make no sense to revert to the 2012 version, given 2017 was the most recent backup.\n\n“Similarly, it’s against PNG’s electoral rules to vote if your name is not on the roll,” he told AAP FactCheck in an email.\n\n“For this reason, it’s implausible that a formal decision has been made to abandon the roll and allow anyone to vote if they simply turn up with an ID.”\n\nHe said the most recent update was only completed a week after the issue of writs, but there were concerns about potential missing names.\n\nDr Henry Ivarature, Pacific fellow at ANU, said a delay in funding had led to the potential issues with the updated roll.\n\nThe claim people not on the updated common roll can still turn up and vote in Papua New Guinea’s election is false. Experts explained the only individuals able to vote having not appeared on the roll are candidates contesting the election. This is confirmed by legislation."

"Speaking with the Bahraini Minister of Justice and Islamic Affairs His Excellency Sheikh Khalid Bin Ali Bin Abdulla Al Khalifa in Manama recently during the conference on “Dialogue between Civilizations and Cultures” was to say the least full of surprises.\n\nFor one thing, one would not expect a high-level Arab official to be so candid and vibrantly open-minded to discuss his country’s problems, the future of freedom and democracy in his country, and to address charges of human rights abuses without reservation or verbal gymnastics typical of Arab politicians.\n\nThis was in itself a major development and a breath of fresh air in the region and indeed for the future of freedom of press. According to Mr. Al Khalifa, a forty-four-year-old British educated former prosecutor and judge, Bahrain already has an open and vibrant society and it is working to develop system of government accountability which would eventually evolve to an open democracy.\n\nBahrain is the smallest Arab Island country and is roughly three times the size of Washington D.C. It has a highly urbanized and developed population of about 1.5 million people and is the only Arab Gulf state that has a post-oil economy that depends on the financial sector and tourism.\n\nMr. Al Khalifa told me in between slowly sipping his hot cappuccino and talking about his two bright young children ages 9 and 11 that “Bahrain is on the right road to democracy.” As to what kind of democracy, he insisted that he does not want to see a ready-made imported democracy or a “democracy that comes through violent revolutions” a reference to the violent upheavals that took place in Arab countries including Bahrain in 2011. “What we want,” he added “is a democracy that evolves from our own experiences.”\n\nBut for the critics of his government especially its behavior against streets protests which came mainly from the Shia citizens, Mr. Al Khalifa’s sunny outlook on the future does not correspond with their own. Some leaders within the Shia community allege that their community is marginalized and discriminated against by the government.\n\nBahrain was the only Arab Gulf state to face streets protests during the so-called “Arab Spring,” which many thought would usher in a new dawn of freedom and democracy. The Bahraini government, thus, stood accused in the eyes of many in the international community and human rights organizations of using excessive force, torture and human rights violations.\n\nMr. Al Khalifa pointed out two major developments in the country that ushered its new modern era. One is when King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa succeeded his late father to the throne in 1999 and the second was when the King decided in 2001 to bring the country to constitutional rule with a National Action Charter. That brought the country the rule of law and opened it to local political parties to represent its diverse religious and ethnic communities.\n\nMr. Al Khalifa, who spoke perfect English with a slight British accent, said his country faced political problems because, in his view, the opposition wanted not just fair participation within the political process and political representation in the Parliament, which they already had through parliamentary elections, but rather thinking that they can ride the wave of the “Arab Spring” and perhaps topple the monarchy altogether.\n\nAl Khalifa pointed out that Bahrain already has an open society. Christians, Jews, Shia and Sunni Muslims can worship freely and have political and constitutional rights. This is especially true after reforming the penal code and changing the definition of torture thus making government actions more accountable to inquiry and lifting many of the legal restrictions that faced the opposition and the public that were present during the 1990s.\n\nSo, the violent demonstrations that took place in 2011 were unjustified from the point of view of the government and might have been the work of agitators who also have been supported by Iran according to many Arab and Bahraini analysts and politicians.\n\nInternational human rights organizations, however, reported that repression, human rights violations and tortures were endemic throughout the nineties. But since 1999, Amnesty international noted that such abuses decreased markedly ever since King Hamad took over the throne in 1999.\n\nBut from the perspective of Mr. Al Khalifa, the international human rights groups are not fully taking into account the government side of the story which undermined the balance and fairness of their reports.\n\nHe also added, “We don’t have a repressive system of government, our citizens don’t have to pay taxes, the government subsidizes their health care, education, residence, electricity and they can express their opinions and criticize the actions of the government within the framework of the law.”\n\nThat said, however, he added that “we will not allow for cracks in our society to spread and get bigger and thus undermine the stability of our country and its citizens. Therefore, we will take actions against those who try to undermine the rule of law and use violence to achieve their goals.”\n\nPro-Iranian Arabic language media accused Bahrain of bringing Saudi Arabian and Jordanian police armed forces into the Kingdom which amounted to an “occupation of the country.” In 2011, about one thousand Saudi and other Gulf States soldiers and police officers entered Bahrain to secure its borders. Although the opposition as well as Iran saw it as an “occupation,” Mr. Al Khalifa said the Bahraini government was within its legal boundaries because, under the mutual defense treaty between the Gulf Cooperation Council, Bahrain or any other member state can call other states for its defense if it comes under threat.” He also said to me that there are no Jordanian troops or police in Bahrain that perform police duties in the country. “What we have is Jordanian police trainers, and this has always been the case for decades with Jordan.”"

"In his essay on the Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ), Hakim Bey considers 'TAZ as festival', the party as liberated space and time:\n\n\"the dinner party is already \"the seed of the new society taking shape within the shell of the old\" (IWW Preamble). The sixties-style \"tribal gathering,\" the forest conclave of eco-saboteurs, the idyllic Beltane of the neo-pagans, anarchist conferences, gay faery circles... Harlem rent parties of the twenties, nightclubs, banquets, old-time libertarian picnics--we should realize that all these are already \"liberated zones\" of a sort, or at least potential TAZs. Whether open only to a few friends, like a dinner party, or to thousands",
null,
"of celebrants, like a Be-In, the party is always \"open\" because it is not \"ordered\"; it may be planned, but unless it \"happens\" it's a failure. The element of spontaneity is crucial.\n\nI have heard tales from some who remember the late 1950s parties and illegal clubs in London that they would put the hoodoo/vodon/obediah Power 'Lord C' on the door to protect them from both the police and criminals looking to extort and threaten the TAZ of the night."

"For an organization that has grown from one employee in 1970 to 22 employees in 2018, it makes sense that the location from where the conservation program was directed would need to grow and adapt through the years.\n\nIn 1968, Lower Trent Conservation’s first and only employee, Bill Lawson, worked out of the back of his house in Trenton where he kept financial books for a number of small businesses. In 1971, the Conservation Authority moved to Campbellford, as it needed more space for both files and employees. This office ‘left much to be desired because of the intense heat in the summer’ and the rapidly growing Conservation Authority quickly outgrew the space. So, in 1972, the three employees took up residence in the back of the municipal building in Frankford.\n\nBy the mid 1970’s, the conservation staff now included nine full time staff with an additional 65 people working out of the office in the summer months. After taking some time to consider a location at Proctor Park Conservation Area in Brighton, it was decided to build a new office along the Trent River waterfront in Trenton, close to financial and other business services. Described as an ‘ultra-modern building boasting many interesting and modern features of construction’, the office was officially opened in November 1978. The building included a reception area, five offices, an open space drafting area, and boardroom. By this time, the staff team consisted of 11 people.\n\nAfter 26 years at 441 Front Street in Trenton, Lower Trent Conservation moved its administrative office to the former Murray Ward office located between Trenton and Wooler just off County Road 40 (Wooler Road). With 14 staff and 26 years’ worth of files, this latest office location at 714 Murray Street offered a more spacious setting with much needed storage and archive space. We’re still here and hopefully the office will serve us well for years to come."

"A few more bug fixes in this week’s release, with a special concentration on the progress indicator (the Scanned n of m albums text).\n\nAround rules, we found a bug where if the missing information rule was enabled for album-level tags like genre or year, and an album had inconsistent values for those fields, we’d report the inconsistent values as “incorrect”. Now, we’ve changed that to only mark the missing values as… well… missing. The suggested value is the most common value in the other files.\n\nWe got a report that when using the top level Tags page, changing album or artist names would mean the album wasn’t rescanned after the change. We’ve fixed that.\n\nFinally, we found that in certain rare circumstances data would not be committed to our database when some of the information about an album changed - we fixed that. This only became apparent if bliss was stopped immediately after the update.\n\nPhoto by Jungwoo Hong on Unsplash"

"A Writer with the Heart of a Dog: Early Reviews of Jack London’s The Call of the Wild\n\n“Jack London seems to possess an intuition of the dog life.”",
null,
"He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars.\n\n“Jack London’s news story, The Call of the Wild, is the romance of Buck, a great dog. Buck’s sire was a St. Bernard, and his mother was a Collie, and he was shaggy, big of body, strong of muscle and stout of heart. He was stolen from a California ranch and taken to live in the far glacier land of the North, where he was put in a team with work dogs and made to carry the Yukon mail. Jack London seems to possess an intuition of the dog life, and the dog heart, an insight which must have come from intimacy and communion with some big, noble, shaggy friend; and the story is related with a simple, direct, dramatic force which enchains interest; and which is art. The Republic unhesitatingly recommends The Call of the Wild as a story of quality, not surpassed by Bob, Son of Battle, and not approached by any other similar tale.\n\n“During the four years of his puppyhood in California, Buck had lived the life of a country gentleman, fond of activity, of the water and the hunt, but ignorant of hardship and toil. Stolen and taken into the Yukon country, his character changed and he became hard under the hard conditions of life, a leader and master among dogs, turning back toward savage instincts. As time goes on he hearkens more and more to the ‘Call of the Wild’ until, at last, after years fraught with incident and adventure, he yields himself to the mastery of primitive instincts—to the wild, both without and within himself—and reverts to savagery in the great wilderness of the North. The change from gentleman to savage is effected gradually and traced with absorbing interest. Hamilton Wright Mable says truly: ‘The story has a deep psychologic interest, and may be read as a striking parable; but it is, above all, an absorbing tale of wild life, full of pictorial power and abounding in striking incidents of frontier town, camp and adventure.’ ”\n\nOnce Upon A Wardrobe by Patti Callahan, Read by Fiona Hardingham",

"The jury that gave its verdict did not spend 16 plus hours deliberating because it wanted to acquit Zimmerman. It spent that time trying to figure out the evidence. What did it mean ? What was really going on ?\n\nTheir task was not made easy by the prosecution’s incompetent trial preparation. Key witnesses gave ineffective testimony, even damaging testimony. It is Law School 101 that you never, ever put a witness on the stand for direct examination — cross examination is another matter entirely — without knowing what he or she is going to testify to. In the Zimmerman case, several prosecution witnesses said things that, in trial prep,, should have been shaken out. The coroner couldn’t remember. Martin’s girlfriend changed her testimony. A police witness said that Zimmerman’ s story sounded true. Neighbors who had heard or seen snippets of the altercation went this way and that as to what happened.\n\nGiven such a muddle, it’s a wonder that the jury didn’t make its finding in an hour or two.\n\nThey did not do that. Instead, they did pretty much what we at Here and Sphere did, in our two editorials : they tried to make sense of the known facts.\n\nUp to this point, there could be no question that Zimmerman had acted recklessly. We at here and Sphere have assumed — as has most of America — that Zimmerman’s reckless conduct, leading to the shooting of Martin, was criminally culpable, as reckless conduct resulting in a death is held to be in most jurisdictions; and that one cannot claim self-defense if things go against you as a result of your own reckless conduct.\n\nBut what if the jury, in its lengthy deliberation, put a question at first rather startling : “Did Martin, otherwise reasonably defending himself, go too far ? Did he himself use excessive force ?”\n\nOne who is put in fear to the extent of reasonably defending himself certainly has the lawful right to use force to do so. But only so much force as will deflect the attack. Once the person putting you in fear is giving up, you have a legal duty to stop.\n\nThe law puts this limit on defenders because, for very solid public policy reasons, it cannot allow defenders to wreak their own mayhem. We see, in videos and photos, what happens when an attacker is pummeled by defenders — pummeled and even killed. Being attacked makes a person angry. Anger all too readily begets crime. the law wants to prevent that, and it is right to do so.\n\nThe Zimmerman jury surely debated whether or not Martin, at first properly defending himself, had gone too far. Once Zimmerman had been knocked to the ground, it was up to Martin to step back; to not continue beating Zimmerman up. It appears from the testimony that he did not step back. And thus Zimmerman’s claim of self defense revived, after being negated by his own, original recklessness. Martin, in going too far, initiated culpable conduct of his own.\n\nThis is what the jury must have concluded; because otherwise their verdict makes no sense. and verdicts that take 16 plus hours to reach are not given casually or thoughtlessly.\n\nNone of this changes the bigger picture: that Martin was going lawfully about his business; was profiled and hunted down because he was Black; and that Zimmerman acted recklessly and with animus. Had Martin been White, or had Zimmerman not been filled with animus against “punks,” Martin would be alive today, and Zimmerman would not be facing Civil Rights charges. Instead we have had to live through a case that much of America sees — rightly — as the result of Black men being seen not as people but as problems (as said Minister E. G. Warnock of Atlanta, GA.)\n\nYet if none of our analysis changes the bigger picture, it does explain the verdict and makes sense of how and why it was found."

"The Surprising Truth About Foo Dogs\n\nYou’ve probably seen a pair of dog-shaped sculptures guarding the entrance to a Chinese restaurant before. Because they look like Chow dogs, lions have been called “Foo Dogs” or “Fu Dogs,” not dogs. The name may come from the Chinese word “Fó,” which means “Buddha,” or “Fu,” which could mean “prosperity.” The Chinese call animal sculptures “sh” or “shsh,” which means “stone lion.” Regardless of what you call them, they are universally regarded as symbols of home safety.\n\nThe Origins of the “Foo Dog”\n\nSince 206 BC, people have used carved stone lions to guard the entrances to their homes and holy spaces. People thought that these huge monsters had magical protective powers that they used to keep the locals safe. Whether they were real or not, it was said that the roaring lions would keep thieves and other bad spirits from coming onto the property. The animals also showed how wealthy and powerful their owners were.\n\nChinese Foo Dogs come from lion sculptures, which were put up at the entrances of temples to bring luck and safety. Usually, the lions were carved out of marble, granite, iron, and bronze. For one thing, a Foo Dog’s face looks eviler than a normal lion’s. The normally big, wide-open eyes have a small hole in the middle of them.\n\nThe manes are long and flowing, and the bodies are carved and studded with diamonds. Because these sculptures look creepy, they can keep bad things away. Because they cost a lot of money, these lions were associated with the rich. Concrete and resin parts are used to make a lot of lions and Foo Dog sculptures so that people of all income levels can buy them.",

"Foo Dogs and Their Behavior\n\nCan CBD Capsules Help To Increase Your Metabolism?\n\nMost of the time, male and female Foo Dogs live together. Having just one Foo Dog in your home is not a good idea. “Yin” in Chinese philosophy means how opposing forces balance each other, while “yang” means masculine dominance.\n\nPeople think the mother bear, who always keeps an eye on her cubs or puppies, symbolizes life and nature. A real Foo Dog usually has one mouth open and the other closed. You could see this as a symbol for the in and out of life and the sound “om.” “Om” is the beginning of life and everything else for people who meditate or do yoga.\n\nIt might seem obvious to buy a pair of Foo Dogs to protect your home, but there are rules about where they can be put. From a frontal view, the woman should be on the left and the man on the right. They should never be put in the same room together or separated by a wall.\n\nThe best spot is right in front of a house or building’s front door. Also, they should be lifted off the ground. Statues are usually put on pedestals. Also, they should be the same height if possible. Nobody should like one Foo Dog more than another. Folklore says that evil spirits will come into your home if you don’t put things in the right place.\n\nEven though they aren’t bought for their magical protection powers anymore, Foo Dogs are still popular as collectibles and decorations. As long as you think of them as a way to decorate and protect your house, they come in every size, from huge front yard guards to small bookends. And who’s to say that they don’t keep bad energy from spreading? A pair of Foo Dogs is a good way to make your house safer.\n\nMartin Coulter is a technology reporter based in London.

"Two medical doctors were Monday re-arraigned before an Igbosere High Court, Lagos over alleged attempted murder of a 17-year-old patient.\n\nThe defendants, Ejike and Grace Orji, who are husband and wife, are standing trial on a new four-count charge bordering on attempted murder, causing grievous harm, negligent act and causing harm before Justice Adedayo Akintoye.\n\nThey were first arraigned on August 31, 2018 in a Magistrates’ Court and were granted bail.\n\nFollowing Director Public Prosecution (DPP) advice, they were on May 28, arraigned before Igbosere High Court on a three-count charge which they pleaded not guilty and were granted N500, 000 bail each with two sureties each in like sum.\n\nDuring resumed proceeding Monday, the Prosecutor, Mr Babatunde Sunmonu, told the court that the defendants committed the offence on July 26, 2018, at Excel Medical Centre in Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi in Lagos.\n\nHe said the couple attempted to murder a 17-year-old boy, one Somtochukwu Ezi-Ashi, by unlawfully causing grievous bodily harm to his left leg.\n\nAccording to the prosecutor, the couple allegedly caused grievous harm on the 17-year-old boy by fixing a Plaster of Paris (POP) cast too tight on his leg without his consent or that of his parents.\n\nSunmonu said that the two doctors, who were not orthopaedic specialists, recklessly administered orthopaedic medical treatment to the minor, from his upper thigh to his toes and deliberately refused to remove the said POP when requested to do so.\n\nHe said that the defendants deliberately removed the POP in a manner that put the life of the boy at risk.\n\nAccording to him, the defendants unlawfully inflicted wound to the left leg of the complainant “when they lacerated his toes with a saw blade and concealed the act”.\n\nThe couple pleaded not guilty.\n\nCounsel to the defendant, Mr Sashore Supo (SAN), urged the court to allow the defendants continue to enjoy the previous bail conditions earlier granted them by the court.\n\nThe prosecutor opposed the bail application, saying that attempted murder was not included in the previous charge.\n\n“With the severity of the offence of attempted murder, I oppose the bail application,” he said.\n\nJustice Akintoye, in her ruling, granted the request of the defence.\n\nShe said “the previous bail is to continue forthwith, the defendants should ensure they appear in court for their trial.\n\nJustice Akintoye adjourned the case until November 27 for trial.",

Warga is entering her senior year in college, and intends to become a lawyer.\n\nI am writing this letter since hearing that you were attempting to contact me.

Even though the results — an 85% drop in suspensions — have proven themselves, some people still think a bigger bat is the solution to behavior problems. In the following essay, Sporleder compares the punitive approach, which he used for years, with the compassionate approach to student discipline.\n\nMax Carrera, a school board member, made this comment after Lincoln High School’s graduation ceremonies: “Historically our school system, like many others, do very good work in educating the traditional student (two parent, middle to upper income, white). Where we can do much better is in serving the kids who don’t have a family support system or financial means to succeed in such a system. Serving on the school board allows me to advocate for the kids who don’t have that support. I was raised by a single parent, lower income and was in a fair amount of trouble in school growing up. In fact, I barely graduated. Yet, this year as president of the board, I handed out hundreds of diplomas at our high school graduation. So there is hope that sometimes we (the school system) lose site of. The staff and Jim at Lincoln provide hope to kids of all colors and socio-economic backgrounds, including many who have been told by their own family, schools and society that they are ‘hopeless’ and ‘worthless’. So when I say we are blessed to have Jim and his staff, I really do mean it.”\n\nA Compassionate Approach to Discipline\n\nBefore I learned about how toxic stress impaired a student to problem-solve or to take in new knowledge, I disciplined students in what I thought was a respectful approach.

"How do I begin to tell my story when there are so many layers, years passed, time that can never be replaced? I ask myself this question often… In truth…I perfected how to be a chameleon as an adult. This is how I survived.\n\nThere is so much screaming to come out of me, and each time, I hesitate. Do I want to open another door? Do I have a choice in how I make agreements with myself on what I want to remember and don’t?\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED\n\nConnie Valentine founded the Incest Survivor’s Speakers Bureau (ISSB) in Northern California in the 1990s. When we met in 2004, I asked if the organization actually received many speaking requests. “Not so much,” she laughed.\n\nConnie is one of the most intrepid women I know. She set up the ISSB, and then started annual meetings to focus on child trauma, particularly child sex abuse. Some years, only a handful of people showed up. She was serene. It doesn’t matter, she said. We’ll hold it, and whoever shows up, that’s who needs to be there. At the last meeting in April — No. 17 — 165 people attended. That’s not bad for a gathering about an issue that most people would prefer that didn’t exist in our world, and yet that has touched one out of four women and one out of six men.",
null,
"In 2002, she wrote an open letter called “Dear Doctor”, which was published by The Permanente Journal. Connie wanted the journal to use her real name, but the editorial board, after great debate, decided not to, to preserve the “anonymity of any involved persons”, even though Connie did not name anyone in her essay, and her abuser is dead.\n\nBy the time I met Connie, she was well on the way to a healthy life. I wouldn’t call her robust, but for all she’s experienced, as she says, it’s amazing that she’s alive. I asked if she was okay with her essay appearing on ACEsTooHigh. She agreed, and, again, wanted her real name used, for the same reason she gave The Permanente Journal: “I no longer feel shame about the events of my life. The shame belongs to the perpetrators. Rather, I feel sorrow. They are people who need forgiveness, and I forgive them.”\n\nHer essay is the story of many people who suffered child trauma, of our health care system, and of the power of healing. It is painful to read, and, in one paragraph, graphic.\n\nSO DO NOT CONTINUE IF READING ABOUT CHILD SEX ABUSE WILL CAUSE YOU ANGUISH. Usually, we journalists put a barrier of our own descriptions of a situation between the people who experience it and our community. But this is a first-person account. No barriers."

"Home » Relationships » 6 Warning Signs That Your Marriage Is Beyond Saving",
null,
"We all enter into marriage with high hopes that we’ll be spending our entire lives with our chosen spouse. However, according to a leading Washington DC divorce lawyer, the sad reality is that almost 50% of marriages end within 20 years.\n\nFew of us give up at the first sign of trouble. Many couples try to make it work, to avoid splitting the family and disrupting the lives of their children.\n\nWhile it may be possible to ride out a rough patch, there are certain signs which indicate that a permanent split is the most likely outcome. Here 6 common warning signs that your marriage may be beyond saving.\n\n1. If You Or Your Children Feel Unsafe\n\nThis is the most severe warning sign that a marriage is beyond saving. The absolute priority is to distance yourself from an abusive spouse and seek outside help, perhaps from the police, or a domestic abuse service.\n\nRemaining with or returning to an abuser who says they’re sorry and promises to change, puts you all at further risk of serious harm.\n\nWhile infidelity doesn’t always spell the end of a relationship, it can be hard to move beyond. The fact that a spouse has been deliberately deceptive about something so fundamental to marriage is often more destructive than the act of infidelity itself.\n\nWhile it can be possible to repair the damage, this can take years to achieve and is especially difficult in the case of a long-term affair.\n\nIf the desire for emotional and physical intimacy no longer exists, it’s a sign that on a fundamental level, the marriage has already died.\n\nA civilized divorce, without recriminations, may be the most positive way for both parties to move forward towards a more fulfilling life.\n\nIf a spouse has been concealing things that impact both partners – such as financial problems, or an addiction to alcohol, substances, or gambling– the loss of trust can be devastating.\n\nThe foundation of the entire marriage may be called into question – what else has the spouse lied about?\n\nEven smaller deceptions, such as hidden social media activity, can erode trust to the point where it’s totally gone.\n\nAt that point the marriage has already broken down – whether it can be saved depends on both parties getting real about their problems and doing whatever’s needed to rebuild trust.\n\nA key marker of marriage breakdown according to professionals, is the partners’ communication style with each other.\n\nConstant criticism, and speaking with contempt rather than respect are signs that the marriage is in deep trouble.\n\nWhen a couple doesn’t agree on anything, important or trivial, and is constantly bickering, the basis for continuing the marriage needs to be called into question.\n\nThe flip side of non-stop arguing is that partners have just given up and don’t care anymore. Different priorities, and lack of interest in what the other spouse thinks or feels is an indicator that separation would be welcomed by one or both parties."

"Dewey Bozella served 26 years in prison for a crime he did not commit before his exoneration in 2009. His memoirs, Stand Tall: Fighting for My Life, Inside and Outside the Ring, were published on Tuesday by Harper-Collins.\n\nBozella was only 16 when he was first arrested for the murder of a 92-year-old woman in Poughkeepsie, New York. The first grand jury refused to indict him due to lack of evidence, but prosecutors persisted. Years later, two jail house informants, who were release from prison for their cooperation, implicated Bozella in the crime. In 1983, a jury convicted Bozella of second-degree murder and he was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.\n\nBozella was retried and convicted twice and in 2007 witness statements were uncovered which contradicted testimony provided at trial and were never turned over to the defense. It was also discovered that police never followed up on an alternate suspect who had committed a nearly identical crime and whose thumbprint was found at the scene. His conviction was overturned in October 2009 and he was released. The prosecution dismissed all charges.\n\nIn 2011, Bozella was presented with the ESPY Arthur Ashe Courage Award for triumph over adversity.\n\nIn his new book, Bozella recounts his life story, from his childhood in foster care, to his wrongful conviction and exoneration, to his career as a champion boxer. He relives the agony of being denied parole four times and of living in a cellblock with his brother’s murderer and, eventually, with the person who likely committed the crime for which he was convicted.\n\nWe sat down to speak with Bozella about the book and his hopes for the future. His responses were edited for length and clarity.\n\nInnocence Blog: What first inspired you to write an autobiography?\n\nDewey Bozella: After 30 for 30 did the video about my case for the ESPY awards, people started coming up to me and telling me to write it. At first I was like “nah” but once I opened up and started writing, that was it. Also, I travel around the world telling the public about my story at speaking engagements, so once I started writing I said, “Ok, this makes sense.”\n\nIB: How did you go about writing the book? Did you have journals or other writings that you had accumulated over time?\n\nIB: What was the hardest part about revisiting the past for your book?\n\nDB: Facing the guy that murdered my brother and being resentenced two times. Then over the years one of my brothers being stabbed, one being shot in the head, one dying of AIDS, not having my mother in my life, trying to understand my family.\n\nPrison did so much damage. It took years for me to realize the value of people. When you do time you see people die right in front of you—see people murdered—so you have to learn to value other people’s lives.\n\nIB: What do you hope readers will get from this book?\n\nDB: I hope that it influences people to never give up, [shows them] that there is always someone in a worse position than you. Not to hold on to anger or pain, to learn about love, peace, joy and laughter. Don’t allow yourself to be trapped in a box, mad every day of your life, you can move forward and laugh and smile instead.\n\nFirst learn how to forgive yourself and then you can forgive others. Get over your fear. Make a commitment to something and be persistent in achieving that. Stop blaming other people for your situation and take responsibility for yourself first. Then you can move on with your life. Have hope and faith in what you believe in. Love, peace, joy and laughter—that’s what I try to instill in people. Life is what you make of it.\n\nIB: What would you say to someone facing a similar wrongful conviction?\n\nDB: I can’t tell anyone what to do, but if you have a choice to plead guilty to something you didn’t do, just ask yourself, “Can I live with the consequences?” Are you ready to die for what you believe in? I said I would rather die in prison than say I committed this crime. Even if I was facing the electric chair, I was ready to do that. It is a life or death decision and my advice is to do what is going to give you peace. That’s a choice you have to make.\n\nIB: What would you say to someone who is serving time for a crime they did not commit?\n\nDB: If you didn’t cop out in the courtroom or take a plea deal, then you are already on the right path. You are fighting for a cause that is worthy.\n\nIt took me 32 years to prove my innocence. I spent a total of 37 years in court, from the first arrest to my exoneration, then five years on the lawsuit. But that was my sacrifice, that’s what I wanted to do. Are you up for that? Are you man or woman enough to see that through?\n\nThat’s what I try to share with people in the book. Anyone going through hurt and pain and frustration, somewhere along the line it is going to hit home for them. I’ve been through it all and I can’t say I have all the answers but I can tell you what I have learned.\n\nYou can purchase Stand Tall in hardcover or as an E-book here."

"We are now just two weeks away from the start of the 2020 season, such as it is, and hope that it will happen. While some things are known, like Clayton Kershaw being the Opening Day starter, and what the schedule will look like, there are still a lot of things left to be decided and worked out.\n\nWho will be the fifth pitcher in the rotation? The Dodgers thought they had their starting five figured out, but then David Price opted to not take his chances with the COVID-19 disease and will sit out the season. Before the five starters were announced back in the original spring training, Ross Stripling, Dustin May, and Tony Gonsolin were all thought to be in contention for the spot that was ultimately filled by Julio Urías. Gonsolin just reported to Summer Camp on Wednesday. Dennis wrote on Wednesday about May and his chances, but my money is on Stripling finally getting that starter’s role he has worked so hard for.\n\nWhat’s going on with the batter’s eye? There have been two intra-squad games going into Thursday, and Max Muncy has yet to play in either of them. Muncy was taking an at bat on Sunday at Dodger Stadium, and a pitch hit him right in the left ring finger. He stated afterwards that he couldn’t see the pitch hurtling towards him because of an issue with the new batter’s eye.\n\nDodger Stadium has been undergoing an overhaul and renovations that started after the season ended last October. Players voiced concern about it previously, and it has already taken its first victim. Muncy has said that if it were the regular season or the playoffs, he would be in the game, but for now, the Dodgers are playing it safe.\n\nManager Dave Roberts said it was “a little unsettling,” but also stated that “I think the organization is certainly open to making it the best, safest backdrop, hitter’s eye, for our guys.”\n\nWhile it definitely gives the Dodgers’ pitchers an advantage, who are already a step ahead of Dodgers batters, the Dodgers can’t afford to lose any more players. Which brings us to…\n\nWhat happens if the Dodgers are without some key players? Much has been made about the Dodgers’ depth, and with good reason. As stated above, they had eight pitchers with a legitimate chance at the starting rotation. They have not one, but two MVP outfielders. And, they have more versatile players than the other teams in the NL West combined. But with the way of the world right now, and that never ending pandemic, one doesn’t exactly know who will actually be on the roster on July 23rd and beyond.\n\nAs of right now, Pedro Baez, Gavin Lux, Scott Alexander, AJ Pollock, Keibert Ruiz, Zach Reks, Cody Thomas, Edwin Uceta and Kenley Jansen are the players that have yet to report to camp. As one can see, three of those names are in the bullpen, with Jansen being the biggest name of all. But Roberts said he spoke with Kenley today, and said the closer is “in really good spirits, feeling good.” Roberts also said the rumor that Jansen is opting out is not true, and the expectation is that he’ll be in camp soon.\n\nRegardless of whether Jansen comes to camp soon or not, there still is the thought that some of those players could still out from camp and may have tested positive for the virus. Reks, Thomas and Uceta were all placed on the injured list this week with no cause given.\n\nWhat happens if and when a starter tests positive for the virus is something to keep an eye on, and something that may not be figured out until the season has actually started. Until then, we will continue to hope that that will not be a huge issue the Dodgers will have to deal with.\n\n3 thoughts on “Dodgers Opinions: 3 Questions to Answer Before Start of Play”"

"In a heartwarming gesture by Chennai City Police, 19 year old Steven Mathew with Down’s Syndrome had his dream fulfilled when he got to be a cop for a day. Steven Mathew, son of Rajeev and Ciby Mathew from Doha, couldn’t contain his excitement and happiness when he walked into the police station clad in police uniform stitched specially for the occasion.\n\nA huge fan of Vijay, Steven grew up watching his favorite star in police uniform and have always dreamed of becoming a cop himself. It was this dream that came true last Friday when he walked in to the police station in uniform and the cops saluted him. He also went on rounds in the police patrol vehicle around Ashok Nagar along with other cops. A visibly elated Steven even took a few calls and used the police walkie-talkie.\n\nMr. Mathew, Steven’s dad, had written to police commissioner A.K. Vishwanathan 10 days ago stating his son’s wish. Police men from Chennai City police got back in touch with Mr.Mathew last week and visited Steven on Wednesday to take his measurements. By Friday, they had the uniform ready with two stars stitched to it.\n\nDespite his condition, with right guidance and support from his family, Steven holds a diploma in Computer Applications. Commissioner A.K Viswanathan and Chennai City Police planned the day for the young man as a source of encouragement."

"The role of education in the healing process in Rwanda\n\nIn the 20th Century Rwanda was characterized by divisionism along the lines of the so-called ethnic groups, which culminated in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. In addition to taking many innocent lives, the genocide left a lot of wounds in the hearts of many Rwandans especially the genocide survivors and tore the social fabric of the Rwandan society into pieces. After stopping the genocide, the new government committed to never letting this happen again and to rebuilding the country in all the spheres of its life. A key part of this was facilitating the healing of the broken hearts of Rwandans as a “process aiming at the reduction of the suffering from past experiences” (Never Again Rwanda & Interpeace, 2015, p. 11). This is because, as Ryarasa Nkurunziza (2016) explains, the effective rebirth of a nation depends on the successive healing of individuals and also communities within the broader society. As AEGIS (2017, p. 13) points out, “unhealed historical wounds and trauma can be transferred from one generation to the next, creating the danger that violence will be repeated.”\n\nOne instrumental tool that has been used to achieve this is education because, as Espina-Varona (2018) suggests, education can help to heal both personal and national trauma. Thus, the post-genocide “education policy promoted national unity and reconciliation, prioritizing equity of provision and access, and encouraging a humanitarian culture of inclusion and mutual respect” (Obura, 2003, p. 18). It is worth noting that as much as education can be used for healing it can also be used for hurting. This happened in Rwanda where divisionism was encouraged by the education system prior to 1994: learners were labeled according to the ethnic groups they supposedly belonged to and admission in secondary and tertiary education was based not on merit but on ethnic and/or regional membership. Curricula and teaching and learning materials contained stereotypes leading to the marginalization of certain groups of people in the different areas of society.\n\nTo reverse this situation, the new government made education accessible to all Rwandan children, irrespective of their social, economic, religious and so-called ‘ethnic’ backgrounds. Education therefore became a basic right for all the children of Rwanda because it was known that limited access to education, along with other daily stressors, coupled with exposure to violence could lead to mental health challenges (Lauren, Ahishakiye, Millera, & Meyerowitza, 2015). In addition, according to Never Again Rwanda & Interpeace (2015), lack of education is reported to pose a threat to healing while access to education is said to bring hope to youth and to their parents.\n\nAt the policy level, the national school curriculum had to be revised in order to reflect the purpose of healing the society through education. For example, the 1998 Ordinary Level English curriculum stated that “English is to develop the spirit of dialogue, promote tolerance and the culture of peace” (National Curriculum Development Centre, 1998, p. 2). In the more recent competence-based curriculum, which was introduced across all grades in 2016, one of the major shifts was the new emphasis on skills: critical thinking, empathy, personal responsibility and trust were strengthened through more interactive teaching methods. Peace and values education and genocide studies were included as crosscutting issues to promote\n\nsocial cohesion, positive values including pluralism and personal responsibility, empathy, critical thinking and action in order to build a more peaceful society (a society that does not use violence to resolve conflicts) and acquire values and knowledge, and developing attitudes, skills and behavior to live in harmony with oneself, with others and with the natural environment and fighting genocide ideology and genocide denial (Rwanda Education Board, 2015).\n\nThis shows that education has been and is still intentionally used as a tool to heal the hurts in Rwandan society at large and in individual victims of the sad history that Rwanda went through. As Ryarasa Nkurunziza (2016) indicates, every wounded society needs to search for solutions from within itself, taking into account its particularities and the nature of the violence that transpired. Education has been allowing young Rwandans to look into their society and find solutions to their problems and adopt approaches that emphasize the importance of valuing each other and treating each other with dignity.\n\nThe promotion of a culture of peace and positive values is reflected in the content of teaching and learning materials such as textbooks. For example, the Ministry of Education has decided to “teach children the elements in their history which are not divisive but, on the contrary, unifying” (Obura, 2003, p. 18). Such content helps learners to reflect on their history so as to live in peace and harmony with themselves and with others. Classroom practices had also to be shaped by the approaches which help in the healing process. For example, through its HEART (Healing and Education Through the Arts) program, Save the Children helped children affected by serious or chronic stress find new ways to share their feelings and experiences through painting, music, drama, and many other art forms1Retrieved from https://www.savethechildren.org/us/what-we-do/global-programs/protection/healing-and-education-through-the-arts, on 14th February 2019..\n\nIn order for classroom practices to reflect of this aim, educational leaders, teachers and parents themselves had to be helped to heal because they were expected to help others develop professionally while they had also been wounded. Thus, they had first to heal and understand how to help those who have been wounded. This is why, at the beginning of its program activities, the Wellspring Foundation for Education provided personal development workshops to its staff and school leaders. At the beginning of Wellspring’s School Development Program (SDP) training activities, the beneficiaries indicated that the training had been useful in their healing and that of the community at large. Teachers indicated that their eyes had been open to the impact of negative behavior management strategies such as corporal punishment, which could hurt children even more. Some school leaders got to understand their teachers, accept them as they are, shaped by their histories, and help them accordingly. Others indicated that their relationship with teachers had been transactional but after being trained on servant leadership, they now love and care for their teachers.\n\nSome parents indicated that Wellspring’s workshops and trainings helped them not only to support their children’s education but also to have healthier families. For example, after being trained on the “Foundation of good parenting” Module, one parent, who had started a divorce process understood that she was building on sand and that the future of her family was not secure. As a matter of fact, her children had already dropped out of school. Thus, she took the first step and went to see her former husband and explained to him how none of the two was benefiting from the decision they had made. This brought him back to his senses and they started a reconciliation process which culminated in their reunion. The latter was a memorable event for the whole village: their families, which had been antagonistic towards each other and had been behind the divorce, got along well again and children went back to school, among other changes. Their story is now used as an example to indicate that healing and reconciliation are possible.\n\nNever Again Rwanda and Interpeace (2015) point out four healing approaches which have been used in Rwanda: group approach, holistic approach, community approach and individual approach. It also outlines the tools used under each approach. A close look at these suggests that the group approach, of which the focus is on “minimizing isolation to the extent that group members often feel like members of a family” (p. 28), aligns best with education. The tools used in the group approach are story-telling, testimonies, sharing of social emotion, peace education, active listening, drama, theatre, film screenings and discussions, prayer, socio-economic based activities, home visits, reformulation, acknowledgement/giving value to group ideas, meta-communication and emotional management skills. The educators who went through this process testify that these workshops were very useful in healing them and in helping them to help their learners and neighbors to heal. For example, one participant said, “we learned that a true human being needs to be at peace with oneself and others. And that really touched my heart. I realized I was going the wrong way” (Never Again Rwanda & Interpeace, 2015, p. 11).\n\nAll of the above tools have found their way into schools through classroom practices and teaching approaches in all school subjects in different ways with the main aim being to enhance unity and cohesion among learners. Outside of the classroom, unity and reconciliation clubs and anti-genocide clubs have been created in schools which have allowed learners to express themselves, to talk to one another about their own ‘histories’, to learn about the genocide against the Tutsi and to explore how best to live in its aftermath. These practices have helped and continue to help learners to make peace with their past and with themselves so that they can reaffirm their identity and step confidently and peacefully into the future. Indeed, as part of the process of healing the wounds from the past it’s vital to allow the young generation to examine the past, however much pain it evokes, to acknowledge it, understand it, and above all, to transcend it together (Ryarasa Nkurunziza, 2016).\n\nA summative evaluation of the Rwanda Peace Education Program which used a participative and interactive methodology (July 2013-January 2016 – Aegis) indicated that the impact of education in healing reaches parents through their children. For instance, one district official explained: “students see the photos, they read the testimonies, and they understand the importance of promoting peace. Most importantly, these children are influencing their parents!” (Naughton, n.d, p. 16). Today, genocide survivors and convicted genocide perpetrators work together in cooperatives and children with parents from both of these backgrounds go to visit and help genocide survivors and prisoners together. A few years ago, some of these people would not feel comfortable to see each other’s faces, let alone work together. There is no doubt that education has played a significant role in these achievements as many of these people testify.\n\nClick here to download The role of education in the healing process in Rwanda as a PDF.\n\nThey make the intangible tangible. Every person we work with has their own unique story, and every one is worth sharing.",

null,
"But looking at the leading time is a somewhat narrow approach, since it just reflects the freakish talents of one individual in each year. So here’s data, from a new analysis by researchers from the University of Milan in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, showing the average of the top 200 times for the same time period:\n\nSo the basic trends are similar, but not identical. Look at the last three years, for example. From the top time, you might think marathoners are getting slower; but the second graph shows clearly that — as anyone paying attention to the marathon lately can attest — the depth of fast performances has been increasing steadily and sharply. I’ll bet the 2011 numbers will continue that trend.\n\nThe average data also shows a few inflection points where the rate of improvement has changed. There was rapid improvement until 1983, then a leveling off until about 1997; decrease again until 2003, then a little hitch for a few years, and now steady decrease again.\n\nSo what explains the changes? We can speculate about the role of money, science, and training… But as Amby Burfoot pointed out in his take on this study, it’s hard to get away from this stat:\n\n6 Replies to “Men’s marathon: how much faster is it getting, and why?”"

"After several tireless days we have finished crunching the numbers from the more than 700 13F filings issued by the elite hedge funds and other investment firms that we track at Insider Monkey, which disclosed those firms’ equity portfolios as of September 30. The results of that effort will be put on display in this article, as we share valuable insight into the smart money sentiment towards ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD).\n\nResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD) was in 24 hedge funds’ portfolios at the end of the third quarter of 2018. RMD investors should be aware of an increase in support from the world’s most elite money managers of late. There were 19 hedge funds in our database with RMD holdings at the end of the previous quarter. Our calculations also showed that RMD isn’t among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.\n\nHow have hedgies been trading ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD)?",
null,
"More specifically, Arrowstreet Capital was the largest shareholder of ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD), with a stake worth $112.5 million reported as of the end of September. Trailing Arrowstreet Capital was Renaissance Technologies, which amassed a stake valued at $86.3 million. D E Shaw, Marshall Wace LLP, and AQR Capital Management were also very fond of the stock, giving the stock large weights in their portfolios.\n\nConsequently, some big names were leading the bulls’ herd. PDT Partners, managed by Peter Muller, established the most valuable position in ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD). PDT Partners had $9.2 million invested in the company at the end of the quarter. Matthew Tewksbury’s Stevens Capital Management also made a $8.3 million investment in the stock during the quarter. The following funds were also among the new RMD investors: Brandon Haley’s Holocene Advisors, Glenn Russell Dubin’s Highbridge Capital Management, and Steve Cohen’s Point72 Asset Management.\n\nLet’s check out hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD) but similarly valued. We will take a look at Telefonica Brasil SA (NYSE:VIV), Essex Property Trust Inc (NYSE:ESS), CNH Industrial NV (NYSE:CNHI), and Weibo Corp (NASDAQ:WB). All of these stocks’ market caps are similar to RMD’s market cap.\n\nAs you can see these stocks had an average of 16.5 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $281 million. That figure was $489 million in RMD’s case. Weibo Corp (NASDAQ:WB) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Telefonica Brasil SA (NYSE:VIV) is the least popular one with only 13 bullish hedge fund positions. Compared to these stocks ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD) is more popular among hedge funds. Considering that hedge funds are fond of this stock in relation to its market cap peers, it may be a good idea to analyze it in detail and potentially include it in your portfolio."

"Is there an exact and perfect formula for success? Can the right combination of internal traits and external factors really give birth to the DNA of success?\n\nPassion and talent are often not enough; there is a lot of dedication, hard work, a strong mindset, and lady luck support. Nothing great comes effortlessly, and anything that comes too quickly and easily becomes a meteor. The awareness of believing in it and being resilient play critical roles, and often in life, we find ourselves living incredible and amazing experiences that leave us surprised. This is because it is true that what is meant for you can make unexpected turns but will always find a way to get to you.\n\nThe Emmy-nominated actress McKenna Grace is the embodiment of the DNA of a star. Renowned worldwide for her roles in Handmaid’s Tale, Gifted, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Annabelle, A Friend of the Family, and Captain Marvel, McKenna began acting professionally at the age of 6. Acting is in her veins and blood, and having started at such a young age and carried her passion for acting throughout her teen years has also felt like bliss. “I feel like as I get older, I just continue to understand more and more about this industry and find myself loving what I do more and more. I’m excited for the future and really grateful to have found something I love at such a young age,” stated Grace.\n\nA passion for acting, which has its roots in the soul, emerges as a representation of choices of the heart, “I just know I love to tell stories that matter and make people feel something.” With her feet firmly on the ground, Grace wants to explore the depths of the human soul by testing herself in complex characters, “I love to get to really dive into characters that have super complex and complicated stories.”\n\nBut it is with The Handmaid’s Tale in the role of Esther Keyes and with A Friend of the Family as Jan Broberg that Grace really made a breakthrough onto the scene. Two complex female roles, well-loved by the actress whose captivating performances have made inroads and working on the series an incredible experience. “It’s insane to hear how the work we do impacts people’s lives. I take a bit of something away from every project I do, especially tough stories I tell, like Esther or Jan; I think [it] has made me a more conscious and compassionate person. I’ve been playing these roles as I am growing up, so not only do these stories impact my life, but the people I’m telling them with do too. I’m away from home and my family a lot, so I become pretty close with my co-stars and the people on set. Those memories I will carry with me my whole life.”\n\nNot only an actress but also singer, Grace showed off her singing and songwriting skills in the movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife, where she also played the role of Phoebe Spengler. Her debut single, “Haunted house,” was part of the soundtrack. This song has powerful lyrics and was written by Grace during the lockdown. “I wrote that song as a breakup song, but it was really about a bunch of different situations/relationships in my life. It was really just about the feeling of having someone who you’ve known for so long leave your life, and then you just have all these memories left behind. It’s like, ‘man, what about everything we did? What am I supposed to do with that?’. Memories never leave us, so I wanted to encapsulate that feeling in song.”\n\nBut the entirety of Ghostbusters: Afterlife was very special for Grace. “It was a life-changing experience, but working with the original guys was incredible. Having Bill Murray on set was such a crazy and cool experience. Getting to work with him and Mr. Ernie, and Dan was so cool. Being able to work with and get to know Mr. Ivan Reitman was also so special. I’ll never forget being on set and looking over and seeing the original Ghostbusters holding proton packs and fighting a ghost with me. It felt like a fever dream. I’ll never get over it.” And we will see the actress also in the most awaited sequel of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, where she will play the role of Phoebe Spengler again. Nothing can transpire from the set, but McKenna reveals, “I’m truly so so excited. I love our cast and crew, and the first one was such an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait for the next one.”\n\nDuring her brilliant career, Grace has played the main character’s role as a child, which has impacted her acting skills in different ways as she also learns a lot from her characters and sets. “I’d have to say I really learned so much shooting on A Friend Of The Family, where I played Jan Broberg and told her story. I think playing her and portraying her very complex relationship with her abductor really gave me a new perspective on acting. Diving deep into a story, emotion, and character like that was a new experience.”\n\nGrace had also gone through an important and delicate moment for her health when she underwent a critical scoliosis surgery, and in her song “Self Dysmorphia,” she put into words with a profound meaning her necessity to comfort people that they are not alone in fighting insecurities. For many people, writing in general and songwriting is a sort of therapy, and so is for Grace, “Songwriting is definitely therapy for me. At the time of writing ‘Self Dysmorphia,’ it wasn’t about my scoliosis, more just the deep insecurities I was feeling. Though only after having my surgery did I see just how much of my insecurities and problems were caused by my scoliosis. It was completely life-changing. This song was really scary to release but as cheesy as it sounds, I hope by releasing it, I can help some other people feel less alone. That’s what listening to music does for me. When I’m really going through a tough emotion or feeling, I listen to so much music, and the lyrics will get to me like, wow, that person is describing exactly what I’m feeling right now.”\n\nWriting and music are a cure, a free therapy for all the people who are suffering and struggling out there with their emotions and problems and who find comfort in the words of another person who went through it. You are not alone, we are in this together, and if I made it and I am here to write about this, you can do it as well. Just remember you are not alone.\n\nGrace’s best therapies are writing and listening to music, but as a teenager, she also enjoyed funny activities to release stress and find balance again. “I roller-skate a lot; I love skating. I like to go to skateparks and learn tricks, but it’s been a huge bummer because, since my spine surgery, I haven’t been able to. I like to go to the movies with my dad, and I love going to concerts as well. I love playing Minecraft and Roblox; honestly, sometimes sitting in my pajamas, playing video games, and watching movies is my perfect day. At the end of the day, though, I truly love my craft and am so happy on a film set, haha. I’ll want a day break and then want to get right back on set creating.”\n\nBecause when you truly love something, you only want to be where your heart feels warm and in the right place. It is not a matter of how tired you can be or how much stress you can earn; you only feel the pleasure of doing what you are born for. Doing the job of your dreams is not something to be taken for granted; even when you arrive where you want to be, you just always stay humble and focused and keep pushing yourself further, to reach another milestone. To live, and not merely exist, is to never stop doing what you love. Thank you, McKenna Grace, for this important reminder.",

"The DC Silver Age superheros appeared to have teenage sidekicks almost at random. Batman did certainly, Superman did sort of, but Green Lantern, Atom and Hawkman all eschewed the buddy combination, as did later DC heroes like the Spectre, Metamorpho and the Creeper.\n\nBut Flash got Kid Flash, and since it became so significant an event in the DC Universe, it is worth looking back on. Kid Flash first appeared in Flash #110. Wally is Iris West's nephew and Barry feels an affinity for the young lad, who's clearly one of the Flash's biggest fans. But when the Flash appears himself (of course Barry slipping away), lightning does strike twice.\n\nI suspect what happened was a suggestion from the publisher for a Kid Flash character, because that is one of the lamest origins for a DC character ever. Oh, by a wild coincidence he got hit while by lightning standing in front of some beakers and test tubes, just as Barry did? That's lame and intentionally so.\n\nThe Five Most Important DC Comics of the Silver Age\n\nThis is not really a hard thing to work out. First, of course, is Showcase #4, the comic that started the superhero revival that is probably the biggest aspect of the Silver Age. To give you an idea, during the 1950s, DC Comics published 3,397 different comics, of which 849 were superhero-oriented (including Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen). In the 1960s, DC published 3,579 different comics, of which 1,629 were superhero-oriented. The return of the Flash kicked off that surge.",
null,
"Next up is Adventure #247, which introduced the Legion of Superheroes:",
null,
"The Legion was one of DC's best features during the Silver Age. The combination of a futuristic setting with super-powered characters proved irresistable to readers of the time and provided seemingly endless plot possibilities.\n\nThe third major DC comic of the Silver Age is Brave & Bold #28. Now that DC had brought back Green Lantern, DC combined him with the Flash, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman and Aquaman into a fighting team called the Justice League of America. This served as a marketing gimmick for the individual magazines featuring those heroes (although at the time both Aquaman and Martian Manhunter were backup features in Adventure and Detective respectively), but it also apparently sold very well on its own, leading Marvel Comics' head honcho Martin Goodman to instruct Stan Lee to create a superhero team, which of course became the Fantastic Four.",
null,
"The next major DC comic of the Silver Age may not be as apparent as the others, but it's a key to understanding the appeal of the superhero titles during this era:",
null,
"Prior to this, DC had reprinted almost none of their older stories. Superman Annual #1 gave recognition to the fact that comics had a back story that it was important to understand in order to get the most out of current issues. It also represented a promise from the editors to you, that if you didn't know the back story, DC would fill you in over the years with reprints of their older tales. DC did a phenomenal amount of reprinting in the 1960s and early 1970s. Even Marvel got into the act once their comparatively recent tales were old enough to attract new readers.\n\nThe final major issue is obvious:",
null,
"In the very first appearance of the Flash in Showcase #4, we learned that Barry Allen had read comics featuring the Jay Garrick Golden Age Flash. So it seemed only logical to pair the two up. But there was a problem; Jay Garrick (the gentleman on the right) had been a fictional character only on Barry Allen's Earth. The solution hit upon by Gardner Fox was to postulate an alternate Earth, called Earth-2, where the Golden Age superheroes had reigned.\n\nThis opened the door for a slew of Golden Age/Silver Age crossovers, about which I have a post planned for the future. It also created numerous headaches for DC's editors as time wore on, but that was not apparent in the 1960s.\n\nOther comics that were crucial to the Silver Age DC, but perhaps not as critical as these:\n\nShowcase #22, featuring the origin of the Hal Jordan Green Lantern. Lost in the memory of the Silver Age is the fact that it took three years after Flash's debut issue for DC to bring back its second GA hero in a new form. After this the pace quickened, with Aquaman, Atom and Hawkman all getting new launches.\n\nDetective #225, with the first appearance of the Martian Manhunter, which actually predates Showcase #4. However, MM was a new character, not a rebirth of an old one.\n\nDetective #327, with the \"New-Look\" Batman. Certainly the Batman TV series had a huge impact on DC Comics, but it is hard to say that this really spawned the show. Indeed, it is arguable that far more influential was Batman #155, which started the practice of bringing back Batman's Golden Age rivals (in this case, the Penguin).\n\nAction #242, with the introduction of Brainiac. This is arguably the beginning of the Silver Age Superman under Mort Weisinger, although his name would not appear as editor for another few months. Weisinger's tenure running the Superman books was extremely influential, as he standardized the looks and mannerisms of the characters and presided over a substantially more serious hero than had been the case in the past. Superman in the 1940s and 1950s, perhaps influenced by Captain Marvel, had a touch of whimsy to it. Under Weisinger most of that was gone (with the notable exception of the Lois Lane series).\nPosted by Pat at 10:32 AM No comments:",

"Glitching, drifting electro that seems to breathe, courtesy of an incredibly gifted artist, already at the height of her powers.\n\nThis 'Acts of Rebellion' the debut album from Colombian musician Ela Minus, out on Domino. Performed, produced and recorded entirely by Ela herself, 'Acts of Rebellion' is a complex manifesto on simplicity, a call to fight, to live, to be present. It’s a collection about the personal as political and embracing the beauty of tiny acts of revolution in our everyday lives.\n\n+ Both LP formats include an 8 page, fold-out poster.\n\nThis ethos is clear in the dreamy, pulsing lead track, “el cielo no es de nadie,” “an ode to little, constant, every day acts of love”, sung in Ela’s native Spanish.\n\nFollowing “they told us it was hard, but they were wrong” and “megapunk,” “el cielo no es de nadie” defies the idea that one grandiose act means more than little ones. “‘el cielo no es de nadie’ is about all the love I see in small, everyday acts. It’s an invitation to appreciate unheroic, but constant and meaningful actions,” says Ela. “The song’s title, ‘el cielo no es de nadie,’ refers to the phrase ‘I’ll give you the sky,’ a common expression used in Spanish when in love. In the song, I defy it: 'you can't give me the sky' / it isn’t yours to give.”\n\nBefore forging her path as a solo electronic artist, Ela was a drummer in a teenage hardcore band. She joined the band when she was just 12, performing with them for almost a decade. Ela then moved to the United States to attend Berklee College of Music, where she double-majored in jazz drumming and synthesizer design.\n\nThis roving background instilled in her a belief that we all have the power to change things, and as she delved deeper into her work with synthesizers, she saw a clear connection between the freedom of the DIY scene she grew up in and club culture. “I deeply identify with club culture, and want to make music to dance to,” she says. “I also want to make songs in the more traditional sense, with melodies, lyrics, and singing. I want to make songs that stay with people through the years.”\n\nUsing only hardware to perform, write and record, Ela creates complex, technical electronic music that exudes a warm vibrancy, along with a darker, almost celebratory understanding that our breaths aren’t infinite. Her sharp, coiled words are cathartic—due in part to her approach to writing them. “I always start writing by improvising alone,” she says. “Once I have some instrumentals I’m happy with, I intuitively grab the mic and sing a phrase with a melody in it. I always keep that initial phrase.”\n\nOn acts of rebellion, you sense the stories hidden in everyday things. You feel Ela’s personality and viewpoint; you sense her presence. The cover features a photo of her, most of her face obscured, but her eyes sharply focused. On acts of rebellion, she’s asking us to make contact not just with her, but also the people that inhabit our lives. She’s suggesting we leave our gadgets behind in favor of flesh-and-blood communities. She’s asking us to think, dance, and love, while she coaxes humanity from her hardware—machines that rattle and whirr alongside her and, in turn, make us feel more alive.\n\nAdditionally, Ela Minus is sharing DIY printable posters and projection art for fans to use and share as a means of embracing these tiny acts of revolution in our everyday lives. Please visit the participate section of her website to download the art!\n\n“Working exclusively with hardware, she's somehow able to draw together each of those influences - the hedonistic abandon of club culture, the creative excellence of avant-techno, and the sheer thrill punk rock can offer.” - Clash."

From:\n\nAnswer: What- apart from both being from Toronto?\nAs it happens Jason Decay from our new Traditional HM signings CAULDRON (pic above) used to be in a metal band with the dude Ethan who is half of massively popular electro-punkers, and this weeks NME cover stars, CRYSTAL CASTLES (pic below). Mad eh?.",

"The prior band was called KILL CHEERLEADER which played punky-stooges/G'n'R metal and made an album on Spinerazor records in 2004.\n\nCAULDRON is a newly formed 3 piece, a Traditional HM band influenced by NWOBHM,and the debut album will be unleashed on Earache in 2009.\nSee Goat Horn video below.\n\nCrystal Castles is the only band outside of metal I listen to. They are legends in their field. Plus I would do anything to fuck that chick in the band.\n\nI love extreme metal in all its forms, especially the open minded Mike Patton & Ipecac records bands.Crystal Castles have a punky attitude I like a heck of a lot.Cauldron sounds like a fun band, lets worship Lemmy and play NWOBHM fellas!!"

"Settling on a parenting style is challenging. Is it better to be strict or more lenient? Have helicopter parents found the right approach to guiding their children's choices?\n\nA new study co-authored by Yale economist Fabrizio Zilibotti argues that parenting styles are shaped by economic factors that incentivize one strategy over others.\n\nZilibotti and co-author Matthias Doepke, a professor of economics at Northwestern University, assert in a paper published in the journal Econometrica that economic conditions, especially inequality and return to education, have influenced child-rearing strategy.\n\n\"All parents want their children to succeed, and we argue that the economic environment influences their methods of childrearing,\" said Zilibotti, the Tuntex Professor of International and Development Economics at Yale. \"For instance, greater occupational mobility and lower inequality today makes an authoritarian approach less effective than generations ago. It's not that parents spare the rod because they are more concerned about their children's wellbeing now than they were 100 years ago. Rather, parenting strategies adapted to the modern economy.\"\n\n\"There is an element of common interest between parents and children -- a drive for success -- but there is tension where parents care more about their children's wellbeing as adults,\" Zilibotti said. \"We postulate that socioeconomic conditions drive how much control or monitoring parents exercise on their children's choices.\"\n\nThe researchers apply their model across time periods and between countries. Parenting became more permissive in the 1960s and 1970s when economic inequality reached historic lows in industrialized countries and parents could realize a return on letting children learn from their own experiences, they argue. Across countries, they document a link between parenting, on the one hand, and income inequality and return to education, on the other hand. Using the World Value Survey, where people are asked which attitudes or values they find most important in child rearing, they identify permissive parents with those emphasizing the values of imagination and independence in rearing children, whereas authoritarian and authoritative parents are those who insist on the importance of hard work and obedience, respectively. They show that parents in more unequal countries are less permissive. The same pattern emerges when they consider redistributive policies. In countries with more redistributive taxation, more social expenditure, and even stronger civil right protection, parents are significantly more permissive.\n\nThe researchers assert that their theory can help explain the recent rise of \"helicopter parenting,\" a version of the authoritative style in which parents seek to influence their children's choices with a combination of persuasion and intensive monitoring. They argue that the style gained purchase in the United States as economic inequality increased, inducing a shift to more intensive parenting to strengthen children's drive for achievement and prevent them from risky behaviors. Meanwhile, they argue, more permissive parenting remains popular in Scandinavian countries, where inequality is lower than it is in the United States.\n\nFrom Emotions to Advocacy: The Parents' Journey"

"Heavy machinery is a product segment that involves large investments by firms in the mining and construction sectors. Amid increased pressure to reduce emissions, companies need to adopt new technologies and ways of working to improve the sustainability of their operations.\n\nKomatsu-Mitsui Maquinarias Perú (KMMP) is a distributor of Komatsu heavy machinery and Cummins engines, and its business includes post-sale and digital services. In its portfolio it also has brands such as Bomag, Manitou and D'avino.\n\nIn this interview, BNamericas speaks with VP Julio Molina about the new technologies and joint product development with mining clients, as well as sales volatility and KMMP's outlook for 2023.\n\nBNamericas: What is the focus of KMMP's operations in Peru?\n\nMolina: In general, mining represents 70% of KMMP's business, while the other 30% comes from the construction sector. The business itself is volatile since we work with few units of high value.\n\nBNamericas: How has your recent performance been?\n\nMolina: 2021 was a pretty good year. In the mining sector, we sold fleets of trucks to Antapaccay [owned by Glencore] and Toromocho [Chinalco], a total of 35 trucks. In construction, the government-to-government agreements – a mechanism by which the country contracts goods, services and works with another government, via reconstruction authority ARCC - gave us a good boost and almost all our fleet is leased.\n\nThis year the share of the mining business declined a bit, especially in terms of trucks. It is a very cyclical business and 2022 was not a year of purchases. We basically focused on testing new products and providing operational support to clients. The construction sector continued at the same pace [as in 2021]. We are now closing a good 2022, not so much in sales but in terms of profitability. When the latter is good, the business is healthy.\n\nBNamericas: Reducing emissions is a key factor for mining companies. How have you addressed this issue at KMMP and with the market?\n\nMolina: In the past we were talking about productivity and ore grades. Today we are talking about sustainability, how we generate autonomous mines, security, and the entire digitization process that opens up new opportunities.\n\nRegarding KMMP, initially there was a problem since our assets are long-term investments and several units run on diesel. Given this situation, we partnered with large mining companies and are developing a new 'agnostic' truck that will not depend on any particular type of fuel. The concept is being developed together with BHP, Codelco and other major mining companies.\n\nBNamericas: What are the features of this truck?\n\nMolina: Our trucks are already electric, but they have a power module that runs on diesel. The truck that is being developed comes with this possibility, diesel, but if the technology is developed correctly in the future the module can be changed and a battery pack can be installed to have a truck that is 100% electric. In the medium term, the idea is to be able to replace the battery pack and change it for one powered by green hydrogen.\n\nThe idea is that the mining firms can continue with their developments and gradually adopt the technologies that become available in the future. There will be countries that will develop technologies according to a series of aspects and limitations. There is a very interesting transition involving fuels and products.\n\nBNamericas: When will these initiatives enter the market?\n\nMolina: Komatsu has a prototype battery-powered truck, its sale will begin between 2026 and 2027. Trucks with hydrogen cells – for those transporting 300-400t, which is the need of Peruvian mines – will be entering the market in 2030. There are prototypes, but the technology must be given enough time. The mining sector will see a very interesting redesign and way of working in the future.\n\nBNamericas: What other eco-friendly proposals are being promoted?\n\nMolina: The possibility of installing electrical lines – similar to those of a tram – is re-emerging, which is a technology that was used in mines 30 years ago. If a mine has clean power, a trolley line can be installed and power part of the truck ride. There is an immediate reduction in CO2, and we are working with some mining companies and electricity providers to achieve this.\n\nOn the other hand, we have made progress with the automation of electric trucks. It is no longer enough to have only one autonomous section in a mine. You need autonomy on all fronts of the operation and all clients are talking about this. We already have an autonomous project in Peru, and we are going to have more projects in the short term.\n\nBNamericas: What is your outlook for the end of this year?\n\nMolina: It will be good in terms of profitability. We are pleased that we are testing various equipment at several mines. We are testing four in Antamina and three in Cerro Verde. We have also closed the sale of a couple of trucks to the latter mine. Although it is only two, it was the first purchase by Cerro Verde in several years. We are at ease because the post-sale business in the mining sector is advancing well.\n\nIn the construction sector we continue to benefit from the positive impact of 2021. In this business, we expect to end with a 17% market share in the case of Komatsu, 20% for Cummins and 20% for Bomag.\n\nBNamericas: Do you expect any major deals in 2023?\n\nMolina: We expect to close two very important truck sales. One is for a mine that is in the process of defining its future assets and the other is a sale that is related to increased production. These will be the most important deals in the mining sector. Although mining investment is expected to drop next year, in terms of our business it should be an important year.\n\nIn the construction sector on the other hand we expect a general contraction. This area is made up of around 1,500 units in the market - large excavators, cargo trucks, among others – and we believe it will drop to 1,100 units since ARCC is now finishing its works. So we will protect ourselves with the spare parts and services business lines.\n\nWant to read more information about How KMMP is working with Peruvian mining clients on the renewable energy front?"

"When we took our leave of London in a hired car (a Skoda Octavia) from Hertz, it was about 11:30 this morning. Well, we didn’t exactly leave London, at least, not for another forty-five minutes. That’s how long it took to drive the six miles it took to get out of the city and on our way south. We shudder to think of how much longer it might have taken if it wasn’t a Sunday!",

"Driving on the other side of the road isn’t so difficult—you can usually just follow someone—it’s those skinny two-lane roads and one-car-wide roads that provide the real challenge. Those are the roads we took as we visited Horsham, Shipley, and Kirdford in West Sussex.\n\nThose of you familiar with our book, TUESDAY NIGHTS, will recognize Horsham. The Cunninghams live there when not in London. Shipley is the home to the Waterfords, and it’s the youngest daughter, Olivia, who Michael Cunningham decides he will one marry day after he rescues her from a would-be rake in the Ship’s yard. Although the Ship, a tavern and possible inn, no longer exists, bits of the nearby medieval Knepp Castle do.",

"This is Page’s 5th solo album since leaving Barenaked Ladies in 2009. Heal Thyself, PT. II is a tip of the hat to his many musical influences; punk rock, David Byrne, The Bee Gees, and The Zombies. It’s a pop-savvy disc with a wide range of engaging styles.\n\nThis builds on some of the themes of Instinct: Heal Thyself Pt. I. “(That) was largely about what it is to call yourself an artist” says Page. “(This one) is about being an artist and you look at what’s going on in the United States and the world, and you can’t help but be scared or outraged. What does it mean to write a song that has some kind of political point of view, and who wants to hear that? Is it the artist’s place to be bashing people over the head with their politics? The short answer is yes, I think it is.”\n\nHeal Thyself Pt. II was recorded with longtime live bands Odds, The Original Six, and frequent collaborator Craig Northey. I can feel Odds’ sense of melodic fun, particularly on a cut like Gravity. Steven’s voice and lyrics may tempt comparisons to his old band, but this disc goes beyond those boundaries into something more emotionally charged. Yes there are political messages, but Steve sings about personal relationships too. Overall, this is a fun album that gives you lots to think about.\n\nKEY CUTS: Nothing Special, You Fucked Yourself, A Failure",

"Living The Dream is Heep’s 25th album in a 47 year (so far) career. “We have seen many bands come and go, so we are in effect ‘living the dream’- so it was the perfect title for the new album” says guitarist and founding member Mick Box.\n\nLiving The Dream sounds Deep Purple-ish, thanks to the Hammond B3 work of Phil Lanzon. Canadian engineer Jay Ruston produced, and I say job well done; he understands Uriah Heep and what they should sound like. “We chose Jay because we admire his work with The Winery Dogs, Stone Sour, Black Star Riders, Paul Gilbert and Europe” notes Mick. “Jay has either produced, mixed or engineered these bands, and he brought a fresh approach to Heep.”\n\nSinger Bernie Shaw has been at the mic since 1986 and is the perfect voice for the band’s progressive rock/ classic metal sound. The double kick playing of drummer Russell Gilbrook and bass playing of Dave Rimmer (the newest member) drives the band, lifting modern records like Dream and Wake The Sleeper into a contemporary vibe. Musically they’ve really moved on from classic 70’s records like Demons & Wizards to a more aggressive sound that’s great to drive to.\n\nI love their old stuff from my teenage years, but this is far better musically- Living The Dream will be a mainstay in the car for some time to come.\n\nKEY CUTS: Falling Under Your Spell, Rocks In The Road, Grazed By Heaven",

"The 13th album by this soulful Canadian singer and longtime guitarist/ creative partner Jan Laacks is stunning. Gemini is something Layla has wanted to do for years; show the acoustic and fragile side of her voice and personality, as well as the fiery and courageous electric side of her songwriting and vocal ability. Ambitious- and gloriously successful.\n\nGemini’s disc 1 is subtitled “Fragility” and disc 2 “Courage”. Disc one is Layla’s voice and Jan’s guitar- quiet, thoughtful, emotional. The Deeper They Bury Me is dedicated to one of the Angola Three, Herman Wallace, who was kept in solitary in Angola Prison for 41 years, and died just days after his 2013 release. The final cut, with Jan on ukulele, is the playful Rainbow Pacmen and Unicorns. You could sing the kids to sleep with it.\n\nThe acoustic gentleness of disc one and the muscular and sassy disc two are flip sides of the same coin, each essential to unlocking the power of the other. Gemini isn’t just good, it’s exciting.",

"This is a covers album, songs by artists no longer with us. “(It’s) a chance for me to honor these great artists… to thank them for their messages they left while they were still here” Ann says on her website. An entire record of cover tunes makes me skittish, and she did that with 2007’s Hope & Glory- but again, she’s chosen the songs well.\n\nImmortal reminds me of an old late night commercial, likely K-Tel, for a record of songs by dead people called Hits From Beyond. With original Heart producer Mike Flicker at the helm Wilson made some inspired choices, like Bowie’s I’m Afraid Of Americans instead of one of the hits we know all too well, and her rendition of Leslie Gore’s You Don’t Own Me could easily stand as a feminist anthem for today.\n\nYou can’t help but compare what Ann has done with these songs to the originals. I admire that she’s done something different with them, essential in a covers album- otherwise why bother? That said, the weaker spots here are her takes on The Eagles’ Life In The Fast Lane and Gerry Rafferty’s Baker Street… I prefer the originals far more.\n\nGuest appearances by Ben Mink and Warren Haynes on a couple of tracks each raise the bar here. With Immortal Ann steps out from Heart’s shadow, and for the most part it works pretty well.\n\nKEY CUTS: I’m Afraid of Americans, You Don’t Own Me, Luna",

"Lindsay Beaver is a blues-rocking, soul-singing drummer, songwriter and bandleader, formerly of The 24th Street Wailers. Alligator Records founder Bruce Iglauer describes her as “the love child of Amy Winehouse and Little Richard”, and that description fits her like a glove. Tough As Love is a scrappy, bluesy, rockin’ good time for all.\n\nBorn and raised in Halifax, Beaver now calls Austin, Texas home. She is a classically trained vocalist and a jazz-trained drummer with a deep love and knowledge of roots music- from jazz to R&B ballads to raise-the-roof rock & roll. She says her influences range from Little Richard to The Ramones, from Billie Holiday to Queens of The Stone Age. Her band includes guitarist Brad Stivers and bassist Josh Williams, and their music evokes the spirit of 50’s and 60’s R&B and blues, and her singing is full of raw, rocking punk energy, unvarnished emotion and power.\n\n“I like music with drive and passion” Beaver says. “I write what I know and sing what I know. At my shows, I want people to have fun and be moved. I definitely want every person to go home saying ‘I’m never going to forget this.’” Tough As Love is one of the most passionate, unforgettable records I’ve heard this year.",

"With the success of GNR’s “Not In This Lifetime” tour, I was afraid THIS would never happen again… whew! Slash is back with a brawny, planet killer of a guitar-based rock record that is just what we need.\n\nLiving The Dream is Slash’s 4th solo album and 3rd with his current band; Myles Kennedy on vocals, Brent Fitz on drums, Todd Kerns on bass and vocals, and Frank Sidoris on guitar and vocals. The producer is Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Alter Bridge, Iggy Pop, Incubus), giving the band a well-dressed, bare knuckle sound. Putting this on in the car driving to work the day it was released, I shouted along and pounded on the steering wheel, wishing I was heading out on a road trip instead of the local McDonald’s.\n\nLiving The Dream really makes you feel alive, the way a good rock & roll record should do, or at least used to. It’s riff-based music that instantly lifts your spirit with its energy and drive, thick guitars spouting memorable licks and leads, with the nuclear rhythm section of Fitz and Kerns thundering along underneath. I know Slash came to our attention with Guns but, frankly, he makes much better records on his own and his new disc is all the proof of that you need. Fucking GREAT album.\n\nKEY CUTS: The Call Of The Wild, Driving Rain, Lost Inside The Girl"
