"Great Falls — For the past 10 years, Joshua Roots has wanted to write a book. While an active duty Marine, he says he played around with the idea.\n\n“I started books and series, but didn’t finish them, and didn’t know when, if ever, I would get around to it,” Roots said, a Great Falls native who now lives in Reston. “But during my last deployment, I had some downtime, and found myself with a chapter or two. When I got home, I got online on some writer’s forums, and learned how to polish my writing. About two or three years ago, I got serious.”",
null,
"Now Roots’ serious efforts have paid off, with the release of his first novel “Undead Chaos.” Part of the urban fantasy genre, Roots found himself not just creating characters and telling their stories, but creating a whole new world with an entirely new set of rules.\n\n“The book takes place in a world where there are magical people, people who can manipulate the elements, things like that. And my character, Marcus Shifter, has a complicated relationship to his own magical abilities, something in his past led him to move away from using them,” Roots said. “I liked the idea of a guy who can do magic, but he carries a Glock, and that’s how he goes about his business.”\n\n“Undead Chaos” features Marcus Shifter taking on what he thought was a simple mission, only to be thrown back into the magical world he thought he left, as well as something much more sinister.\n\nCreating such an intricate world was no small task for Roots, even though he said that was his favorite part of the process, so it wasn’t something he was anxious to abandon after just one book.\n\n“I’ve got the second book in the series sent to the publisher, and I’m currently working on the third one. My editor wanted me to get deeper into some of the histories of the characters for future books, which was very interesting,” he said. “I’ve learned that there are no such things as throwaway characters, and that anything in the plot can come back in a future book. And of course, I’ve got new characters and plot lines that will appear in those books.”\n\nNot content with one multi-volume series, Roots said he is also working on another series, one about modern Greek mythology.\n\nWhile he was still trying to get his writing career off the ground, Roots learned firsthand how hard the business end of writing can be, sending his work to 62 agents before finally landing a deal.\n\n“My friend once told me that writing the book was the easiest part, and I didn’t believe it,” he said. “I thought writing 90,000 words would be by far the hardest part.”\n\n“Undead Chaos” is available as an e-book and an audio book. It can be found at Amazon.com, and at www.joshuajroots.com."

"The Siege of Carrigafoyle Castle took place on Easter in 1580 near modern-day Ballylongford, County Kerry, Ireland on the southern bank of the Shannon estuary. The engagement was part of the English crown's campaign against the forces of Gerald Fitzgerald, 15th Earl of Desmond during the Second Desmond Rebellion. The castle was held by rebel troops in the service of Desmond and some Catholic troops from continental Europe.",

"Carrigafoyle Castle - built by Conor Liath O'Connor-Kerry in the 1490s and considered one of the strongest of Irish fortresses - was a large tower house, of the type particularly common across the north of the province of Munster. It stood on a rock in a small bay off the Shannon estuary, and its name is an anglicisation of the Irish, Carraig an Phoill (\"rock of the hole\").\n\nThe castle was known as The guardian of the Shannon because of its strategic command of the shipping lanes that supplied the trading city of Limerick, some 20 miles (32 km) upriver. The bay at Carrigafoyle was shielded from the estuary on the northern side by a wooded island; within the bay the castle-rock was defended on the west and south sides by a double defensive wall; the inner wall enclosed a bawn, and surrounding this was a moat covered on three sides (the east lay open) by the outer wall, where a smaller tower stood. The tower-keep itself was 86 ft high, and the precipitous sides of the castle-rock were layered with bricks and mortar. At high tide the walled landing within the moat was capable of accommodating a ship of 100 tons displacement.\n\nDuring the rebellion the castle was held by 50 Irish, along with 16 Spanish soldiers who had landed at Smerwick harbour the previous year in the 1579 Papal invasion; there were also women and children present. Months earlier an Italian engineer, Captain Julian, had set about perfecting the castle's defences under the direction of Desmond's countess, Eleanor. By the time of the siege she had retired to her husband's company - some forty miles (64 km) distant, at Castleisland - while Julian was still at his task.\n\nThe English commander, Sir William Pelham, marched through Munster in the company of Sir George Carew and assumed command of an additional 600 troops. He was supported by a fleet of 3 three-masted ships under the command of Sir William Winter. It was the largest army ever seen in the west of Ireland.\n\nOn arriving at Carrigafoyle the English camped to the south-west of the castle. The fleet anchored in the estuary beyond the bay and supplied Pelham with 3 demi-cannon and a culverin (a huge naval gun with small projectiles) manned by naval gunners. The ordnance was ranged along a low wall running north, parallel to the outer wall at a distance of 100 yards, and at the northern point of this wall a company of foot with lances was stationed.\n\nThe bombardment of the castle was carried out over two days, six hours each day. The demi-cannon could be effective against stone, but only if allowed to fire unhindered - in the event no hindrance was given. In addition Winter's ships fired their stern cannon against the seaward wall of the castle.\n\nOn the first day (Palm Sunday) Pelham ordered a party of troops to cross to the sea-wall, where they were pinned down by gunfire and had boulders hurled at them from the battlements. The troops threw up assault ladders, which the Spanish halberdiers pushed away. The Earl of Ormond described seeing the sea-channel fill with wreckage as the sides of the castle-rock became slippery with blood. Pelham was hit by a ricochet and jeered at by the defenders, but there was no pause in the bombardment.\n\nOn the second day, Pelham was reinforced with troops from Winter's ships. The final assault, led by Captains Humfrey Mackworth and John Zouche, was concentrated on the part of the tower furthest from the cannon, where the defenders were holding out. The tower cracked under the impact of 2 or 3 shot, and the great west wall collapsed on its foundations, crushing many within. The survivors fled through the shallow waters, but most were shot or put to the sword; the rest (including one woman) were brought back to camp and hanged from trees. Captain Julian was hanged three days later.\n\nThe strategic significance of the siege is shown in the swiftness with which other Desmond strongholds fell once news of the destruction had spread. The castle at Askeaton was abandoned before the guns (its Spanish defenders blowing up the walls), and the garrisons at Newcastle West, Balliloghan, Rathkeale, and Ballyduff slipped away soon after. The rebels then engaged in guerrilla warfare, and the crown only prevailed against them in 1583, when the Earl of Desmond was killed at Glenageenty in the Slieve Mish mountains near Tralee.\n\nSuch was the damage to Carrigafoyle Castle that it was never repaired. Its ruins still stand, including the outer defences and moat, and the effect of the bombardment is clear to see."

"On April 21, Beijing time, the “Second Bit Deer 421 Water Harvest Festival and Mining Ecological Conference” hosted by Bit Deer Group and Rhythm BlockBeats was held in Beijing. Bit Mining Group participated as a partner. Executives from its mining farms, mining pools and mining machine businesses made their appearances and became the focus of the conference.\n\nDuring the round table forum, Liu Jibin shared wonderful views on different industry topics. When it comes to the current mining strategy recommendations, Liu Jibin revealed that he firmly believes that the “coin price” will continue to rise, and as long as the normal operation of the various mining processes can be ensured to the maximum extent, the profits can be maximized; asked about the national carbon Regarding the impact of policies on the industry, Liu Jibin believes that the uncertainty of thermal power mines will indeed increase. At the same time, the logical advantages of hydropower mines as clean energy will become more prominent and more stable, and they will become scarce resources in the future and exert greater value; In addition, Liu Jibin also believes that the current chip shortage has limited impact on the industry, and the computing power of the entire network will continue to rise, and the digital currency mining business will still exist as a stable business model for at least the next 5-7 years.",

"Donations were handed over during ceremonies in Battambang and Kampong Chhnang provinces. Photo supplied.\n\nThe Embassy of India, the Indian Association Cambodia and Indian businesses in Cambodia donated packages including food items and medicine to people who were recently affected by flash flooding in these two provinces, according to a press statement.\n\nA donation ceremony was held in Kampong Chhnang Province on Nov. 28, presided over by Sao Chivoan, secretary of state at the Ministry of Rural Development, and Indian Ambassador Devyani Khobragade.\n\n“Khobragade and her team handed over 5 tons of rice donated by Bajaj Auto, which is the largest Indian tuk tuk company in Cambodia, and other food items,” the statement read.\n\nThe Indian ambassador expressed her deep sympathy to villagers who have been affected by the floods last September and October, and also thanked the Indian community, businesses and the Cambodian India Alumni Association for contributing to this effort, according to the statement.\n\nDuring the ceremony, Chivoan thanked the Indian community and businesses for their donations, and added that the authorities would help organize and coordinate such relief programs in provinces that have been hit by flooding this year, according to the statement.\n\n\nA similar ceremony was held on Nov. 27 in Sampov Loun District in Battambang Province during which Adarsh Kumar Mishra, second secretary of the Indian Embassy, gave five tons of rice and COVID-19 kits for 1,000 persons to be distributed by the local authorities.\n\nDuring her visit to Battambang Province, Ambassador Khobragade also met with Provincial Governor Ngoun Ratanak and gave medicines donated by Indian pharmaceutical companies in Cambodia.

"New Delhi: The government plans to incorporate some of the provisions of the direct taxes code (DTC) in the forthcoming budget itself, giving the income-tax (I-T) department power to tax share transfers between international companies, such as the one between Vodafone and Hutchison.\n\nThe I-T department last week lost a case in the Supreme Court over the deal that allowed Vodafone to enter India. The deal, on which the tax demand had been levied, had taken place overseas.\n\nWith the roll-out of DTC delayed until at least 2013-14, the government wants to use the 2012-13 budget to plug what it sees as loopholes. But the amendments are likely to give the government power to tax similar transactions only prospectively and not retrospectively.\n\nOn Friday, the apex court ruled the $11.08 billion Vodafone-Hutchison transaction was not taxable under Indian law. It rejected the tax department’s claim of jurisdiction over a share transfer carried out overseas.\n\n“The DTC has provisions that would have brought transactions like Vodafone under the tax net. We are examining if these changes can be incorporated in this year’s budget itself,\" said a senior finance ministry official, who didn’t want to be named.",
null,
"The code also has a provision stipulating that all share transfers between two non-residents will be taxable in India, if at least 50% of the underlying assets are in India.\n\n“The revenue department was told way back in 2004 that they should frame rules if they have issues with such transactions being able to escape the tax net,\" said Sudhir Kapadia, national tax leader at audit and consulting firm Ernst and Young. “The government will have to bring in both GAAR and the clause to tax indirect transfer of shares if they want to tax such transactions.\"\n\n“Changes in law with retrospective effect could be a complete disaster. The Supreme Court’s judgement has a far-reaching impact on foreign direct investment (FDI). Even if Parliament has the ability to amend laws retrospectively, it should not be done as it will impact the credibility of the government,\" he added.\n\nThe DTC Bill is currently with the parliamentary standing committee of finance. “It is possible that the government brings in some of the provisions in DTC in this year’s budget. But whether these provisions can be incorporated when DTC is still being looked into by the standing committee is an issue of propriety,\" said Rahul Garg, executive director at PricewaterhouseCoopers.\n\nThe government is also unlikely to file a review petition in the apex court against the Vodafone ruling. “A final decision (on the review petition) will be taken only next week,\" said another finance ministry official.\n\nThe apex court had also recognized Mauritius to be a legitimate route of FDI, rejecting the claim of the tax department that the route was being used to avoid paying taxes. The ruling will force the government to hasten the negotiations with Mauritius on amending double-tax avoidance agreements (DTAAs).\n\n“We have started negotiations with the Mauritius government and one round of discussions has been completed. But they are reluctant to make changes to the existing treaty,\" said R.S. Gujral, finance secretary.\n\nThe DTAA between India and Mauritius provides that capital gains arising in India by sale of securities can only be taxed in Mauritius. However, since Mauritius does not tax capital gains, this route was being misused.\n\nThe court’s ruling will impact many mergers and acquisitions currently being contested by the tax department in courts. These include the purchase of a stake in Idea Cellular Ltd from AT&T by Aditya Birla Nuvo and Tata Industries, SABMiller Plc.’s global acquisition of Foster’s Group, and Vodafone’s purchase Essar’s 33% stake in Vodafone Essar, in which Vodafone had withheld tax of $880 million.\n\nWhen asked if Essar had approached the finance ministry for a refund, Gujral said: “Can they approach us? They can’t. They have voluntarily deducted tax. When it’s done voluntarily, there’s a process to claim this tax.\""

"On November 23, 2021, it was reported that Lucille “Lovey” Handelsman had passed away at the age of 93. Legal experts know her as the woman who managed to wrestle away most of her husband’s holdings along Palm Beach’s famous Worth Avenue, and she died while holding the unofficial title of “Mayor of Worth Avenue.” It was a title her husband had once held. The divorce process was incredibly complex, as it involved a real estate empire worth over $550 million. The Handelsmans had built up this empire together over their 67-year marriage.\n\nWhy She Filed for Divorce\n\nLucille apparently had a number of reasons to file for divorce. She allegedly believed that her husband Burt was cheating on her. This was around 2016, when both spouses were well into their late 80s. But perhaps the most notable reason for her divorce was the fact that she believed her husband would leave his children with virtually nothing. She believed that Burt was more likely to leave his estate to his lawyer, with whom Lucille believed he was having an affair. Burt had previously referred to his own children as “enemies.”\n\nAt stake was a real estate empire that began in the 1950s. Starting in Brooklyn, New York, the couple eventually bought up tons of properties from across the nation, most notably in Florida and the Empire State. The couple also owned warehouses, shopping centers, and a golf course. The trial took seven months, and Lucille attempted to get her fair share of these high-value real estate holdings.\n\nLucille Was an Active Part of the Business\n\nA key part of this trial revolved around Lucille’s participation in the real estate business. While her husband attempted to prove that she had very little to do with his success, her lawyer tried to show the opposite. In the end, it became clear that she was involved in marketing, attracting and vetting investors, and much more. Burt then allegedly attempted to conceal assets from his wife.\n\nA Settlement Was Reached\n\nFinally, a settlement was reached. Although Burt tried to appeal the court’s decision to divide the property equally, his children ultimately convinced their parents to reach an agreement outside of court. They reportedly wanted their parents to end their lives with this legal battle having been resolved. In the end, the battle was resolved in the nick of time, as Lucille passed away just one month after the agreement was signed. While it may seem like she didn’t get to enjoy her victory, her children will undoubtedly benefit from her legal battle, as they will now stand a much greater chance of inheriting a significant portion of the family wealth.\n\nWhy This Trial Was So Complex\n\nThis case was complex for a number of reasons. First, it dealt with multiple, high-value real estate assets across the entire nation. These properties had been accumulated over the course of multiple decades, and this undoubtedly required financial experts to dig through age-old records and financial documents. In addition, there was the debate over Lucille’s involvement in the business, and these kinds of issues are never easy to resolve.\n\nAre Child Support Payments Unreasonably High? It Depends on the StateThe Most Important Financial Documents in a Divorce"

"Turkish model Ayse Öztürk was traveling from New York to Philadelphia, and was denied boarding by American Airlines on Wednesday when they found out that she was wearing a revealing top. The airline said that she would have needed to buy a new ticket because of her outfit, but Öztürk said that she wasn’t able to buy a ticket since her flight was sold out.\n\nA fitness model was refused boarding American Airlines Flight 915 from New York City to Los Angeles due to revealing clothing, the airline confirmed Tuesday. The incident took place Monday night, after fitness model Derya Sert was asked to leave the flight for sporting a tank top with a revealing neckline.\n\nDeniz Saipinar, the first Turkish woman to become an International Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation professional and the first non-American woman to win the U.S. National Bikini Fitness Competition, is a fitness model with more than a million followers on Instagram. On Thursday, American Airlines refused to let her board a flight from Dallas Fort Worth to Miami, arguing that her outfit was too revealing.\n\nOn Instagram, she revealed that airline employees called her naked. She posted pictures of her outfit at the airport. Here she is in a DFW restroom, wearing a brown top, jeans and sneakers, and a white blouse tied at the waist.\n\nCypinar says she likes wearing feminine clothes that emphasize my femininity, but I never dress in a way that offends anyone. I am old enough and civilized enough to know what I can and cannot wear. She felt like she was being treated like the worst person in the world because she wore jeans.\n\nFor her, it’s a matter of feminism and religious freedom. She says she left an Islamic country because women were treated as second, third or no class, and now this is happening.\n\nAccording to American Airlines,\n\nThe eighth. In July, American Airlines refused to allow a customer traveling from Dallas-Fort Worth to Miami to board. As stated in the Conditions of Carriage, all customers must dress appropriately and offensive clothing is not permitted on board our flights.\n\nThe customer was informed of our policy and was put back on the next flight. Then the client arrived in Miami.\n\nIn November, Southwest Airlines removed a Playboy Playmate employee from a flight because of her revealing outfit. In October, a Southwest pilot let a woman fly because he thought her low-cut black halter top was inappropriate for the airline, which has placed a bikini-clad model on the side of one of its Boeing 737s.\n\nSouthwest is notorious for such incidents, just as Spirit Airlines and British airline Jet2 are known for stories of lewd and drunken passengers. But American Airlines also has problems with passenger clothing.\n\nVirgin America, which has since been bought by Alaska Airlines, said all passengers were welcome after a woman in her underwear was photographed at one of its check-in counters.\n\nMeanwhile, at the airport…. from r/pics",

"Bhubaneswar, November 3: SwitchON Foundation organised a State-wide cycling event, ‘Cycle with Lights’ Parade to create awareness on the harmful effects of bursting fire crackers for the third consecutive time, this year with cyclists from Odisha joining in too.\n\nThe aim of the parade is to sensitise citizens about the harm firecrackers cause to the environment and public health and also appeal for state wide Firecracker Ban eventually in the coming years. The event, organised across 14 major cities, in the previous year has seen over 500 cyclists which included people of all age groups participating.\n\nCyclists were seen urging citizens to ‘Say No to Firecracker’ while carrying placards, posters and banners and travelling the roads of the city on bicycles decorated with eco-friendly battery operated, led lights. The cyclists encouraged people to choose pollution – free celebration options instead. The event receives an overwhelming participation every year. The participants were also seen raising slogans on air pollution and distributing leaflets on how to make the upcoming festival cleaner, safer and pollution free for all.\n\nSpeaking at the event, Vinay Jaju, Co-Founder of SwitchON Foundation said, “This years event saw a huge turnout of cyclists urging citizens to say no to firecrackers, such large-scale awareness drives are needed to sensitise citizens on the harmful effects of air pollution from firecrackers; the air becomes unbreathable.”\n\nThe goal of cycle with lights is to draw light to the common eyes towards the looming threat of air pollution with the plethora of ailments alongside the possibility of yet another public health crisis in the future.\n\nMany doctors have warned of a public health crisis with the particulate matter released by firecrackers and air turning toxic and entering our lungs and bloodstream making it extremely dangerous.\n\nThe whole event was part of a series of larger steps taken by SwitchON Foundation to pledge for a cleaner and better air after Diwali and Kali puja celebrations in the state of Odisha this year and beyond.",

"So today is Martin Luther King Day. Perhaps you don’t remember, but the Rev. MLK’s life-long message of peace was answered by an assassin exercising his second amendment rights to silence with violence.\n\nSo it is something more than ironic — tasteless, if not racist — that it arrives one day after Gun Appreciation Day, which was celebrated by five gun-related injuries inflicted at three separate gun shows.\n\nOther than video, I never saw Martin Luther King, but I met numerous people who did, some of whom had worked with him over the years. They told me that while he was no saint, he was both inspirational and committed, completely dedicated to the cause of peace and racial harmony. A distinct breach between himself and Malcolm X, for example, was his message of non-violence.\n\nThat’s one reason why the asinine remark made by Larry Ward, one of the organizers of Gun Appreciation Day s is so offensive:\n\n“I think Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country’s founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history,” Ward told CNN last week. — mediaite\n\nWhat is it with these white people? Stupid fucking douchebag.\n\nSome of us haven’t progressed very far. Here’s Dr. Ron Paul, intellectual ‘Pub hero and spiritual leader in the last election, on Dr. King in 1990:\n\n“[Martin Luther King, Jr.], the FBI files reveal, was not only a world-class adulterer, he also seduced underage girls and boys…And we are supposed to honor this ‘Christian minister’ and lying socialist satyr with a holiday that puts him on par with George Washington?”\n\nA “world class adulterer” and “lying Christian satyr.” Is that a compliment? Does he get a trophy?\n\nWe have a long way to go, especially among gunnie cretins waving bibles and copies of the Bill of Rights to defend their god-given rights to hate people to death they think are different from themselves. But at least nobody has asked to see a birth certificate lately.\n\nMLK could have found a way to get over such garbage. That’s why we have a day off today. Going forward, I’ll try to remember that."

"Fewer people lost their homes to repossession in the second quarter of this year than in the first, figures show today.",

"Rising debt: Families are struggling to keep up with mortgage payments as unemployment bites\n\nAround 11,400 people had their properties repossessed during the three months to the end of June, down from 12,800 in the first quarter, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said today - an unexpected fall of 10%.\n\nHowever, the figure is still around 14% higher than for the same period in 2008.\n\nAnd over the first six months of 2009, total repossessions are up 28% on the first half of last year.\n\nRising unemployment - now standing at 2.43m for the UK - had been expected to push up the number of homeowners struggling to pay mortgage debts.\n\nBut there was also only a modest increase in the number of people falling behind with repayments, with 205,600 homeowners in arrears of more than 2.5% at the end of June, up from 203,900 at the end of the first quarter.\n\nJackie Bennett, the CML's head of policy, warned that conditions will remain difficult for home owners.\n\n'With unemployment rising and the economy still weak, the outlook will remain challenging for the rest of this year and into 2010,' she said.\n\n'Today's data shows that lenders are committed to helping borrowers manage their way through temporary payment problems and get their mortgage back on track over time, avoiding possession where possible.'\n\nDespite the fall in actual repossessions over the second quarter, the Ministry of Justice reported an increase in the number of repossession claims made through the courts in England and Wales.\n\n'We are now seeing personal insolvencies picking up steam as the myriad of consumers can no longer service their debt obligations,' said John Bangham, personal insolvency director at accountancy KPMG. 'With the highest unemployment figures recorded since 1995, the insolvency figures will only increase. Along with unsecured debt, it's likely that home repossessions will also continue to increase.'\n\nThe MoJ cautioned against reading too much into the increase as there was a significant fall in claims during the first quarter due to the introduction of the 'pre-action protocol'.\n\nThe protocol, which came into effect on 19 November last year, states that courts can only grant a repossession order if all alternative measures to keep people in their homes have failed.\n\nAfter that date, there was a 50% fall in the daily and weekly number of new mortgage repossession claims, as homeowners sought alternative solutions - and this was reflected in first quarter figures.\n\nThe CML added that a combination of factors had recently helped people who were struggling with their mortgage stay in their home, including low interest rates, increased leeway from lenders, and a raft of Government schemes.\n\nGovernment initiatives - such as the Mortgage Rescue Scheme, under which people can sell some or all of their home to a social landlord and rent it back, and the Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme, which enables people to defer paying interest – as well as increased tolerance from mortgage lenders have helped help ease the pain for homeowners.\n\nIn the first three months this year, though, repossessions were up nearly 50% on the same period in 2008, after around 12,800 suffered the loss of their homes.\n\nAnd the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) has predicted 65,000 people will have their properties repossessed during 2009 alone, the highest level since 1992.\n\nSurging unemployment has made it nigh-on impossible for some families to continue repaying high-interest mortgages, and many have suffered the disappointment of repossession.\n\nThe CML originally predicted 75,000 people would fall foul of mortgage debts, but both the success of these schemes and the important impact of low interest rates have seen the body cut back this figure.",

"Ah shopping. A favourite pastime of mine, for sure. There is little more pleasing to me than skipping home with a bag containing something I’ve been yearning for for quite some time and finally purchased with my hard earned cash. These days though, that isn’t often quite how it turns out. In my youth, a shopping trip was something that took planning. It was normally a day long activity, if not, at least an afternoon, and it was more than just a functional errand – it was a social experience.\n\nI’m obviously showing my age now, but shopping isn’t quite the same anymore. I can still go and shop on the High Street, of course, but these days there is such an overwhelming choice online that it’s just far too easy to ‘accidentally’ buy yourself a new wardrobe while popping online to pay the gas bill or watch the latest episode of Fear The Walking Dead. On the one hand this is the stuff that dreams were made of to my 15 year old self, who prided herself on getting a ridiculous bargain. On the other, it means it is very easy to spend far more money than you planned to, and it’s incredibly hard to know who is a trusted, genuine store with all that choice out there. So once again, I decided to take one for the team and check out one of those sites that seems to be constantly begging for your attention, Shein. I bought some stuff to see if it’s decent or not, so that you don’t have to. I know. You can thank me later….\n\nThe concept of this site is nothing new. It’s a China based site with a crazy amount of varied stock which relies heavily on bloggers and affiliate programmes to promote its products. In short, it’s one of those ‘can this be too good to be true’ type sites that seems to offer an unbelievable amount of stuff for crazy cheap prices. But is it possible to sell decent items for such low prices? We’ll see….",
null,
"My search for some dressy tops is well documented. Kids these days just don’t dress up any more, and as much as I’m not a sheep, it’s nice to have some options for nights down the pub that don’t leave you feeling like you turned up on the wrong night for prom (which is a regular occurrence for me, truth be told…) This lace blouse was just what I was looking for – something that looks smart but can be dressed down with the right accessories. The colour is one that features heavily in my wardrobe so would be easy to mix in with my existing items, and the long sleeves were an added bonus as most of my evening tops are a little on the flimsy side.",
null,
null,
"While it isn’t the best top I’ve ever owned, I’m pretty happy. The lace is nicely soft and not scratchy like you’d expect a cheap lace to be, and the bow detail at the neck is a nice touch. I wish it was a touch looser and longer so I’d get a bit more wear, but it’s ideal for tucking into my high waisted trousers and pencil skirts, so it isn’t at all wasted on me.",
null,
"For quite some time now I’ve been after a white or cream blouse with a black ribbon tie at the neck. Don’t ask me where this rather specific set of requirements came from, but it’s been in my brain for a while with no sign of shifting. There were more than a few items meeting this description on the site, but in the end I chose this one thanks to the slight volume at the ends of the sleeves, and the fabric covered buttons, which are always a plus in my book.",
null,
null,
"It’s okay. The fabric is a little stiffer than I had in mind, but nothing out of the ordinary quality wise compared to a normal high street purchase. I was a little alarmed at first at the sheer number of buttons, thinking it would take an age to get on and off, but thankfully the button loops are made of elastic so that isn’t a problem. I like that the neck ribbon is actually not attached to the garment, so you can use it or not depending on your mood. It is slightly slim fitting at the hips again though, and a little on the short side, so again will probably only be worn in ‘tucked in’ scenarios.",
null,
"I’ve seen this frock on a few bloggers now and always been enamoured. I love the bow at the neck (quelle surprise…) and there is something about the preppy style that just really appeals to me. I had to give it a go.",
null,
null,
"Well, obviously it isn’t actually tweed, but I think we all knew that, right? It is a pleasingly heavy fabric though that is far better than I was expecting, and I’m very much taken with it. I was expecting it be obscenely short as mini dresses from these sites often are, but it’s a perfect length, and I love the unfinished, frayed edges. I won’t actually ever style it the way I have here, as the heavy fabric is very much at conflict with how much flesh would be on display. No, it will be a winter dress for me, worn layered over a sweater with thick tights and boots, but it will most definitely be worn. This one was definitely a win.",
null,
"With my upcoming trip to Morocco I’ve been looking for some loose, airy garments that cover up a little more skin than the usual holiday attire, and as soon as I saw it I knew this was just the thing. I love the blue and white print and the tassel ties, which already remind me of warmer climes, but the flowy, wrap shape looked super flattering while still demure – just the ticket.",
null,
null,
"I FREAKING LOVE THIS BLOUSE!! I cannot tell you how pleased I was with this. It is exactly as it appears in the photos and is made from a soft, silky fabric that feels lovely and cool against the skin. Ten out of ten for this one – I’ve already worn it several times and I’m not even packed for holiday yet!\n\nSo – the truth? You really can get some great items from this site for very little money. I was very pleasantly surprised how quickly my order arrived compared to most Chinese sellers, and for what I spent I’m very happy with what I received. HOWEVER…. This site can be dangerous. There is just so much stuff, and no consistency to sizing or shape (please pay close attention to the measurements and the reviews – they are vital to making a good choice) that it could be very easy to get carried away and buy things that you either didn’t really need or weren’t quite what you were expecting. As much as I love a good bargain, I’m going to steer clear unless I have a specific need that I can’t get elsewhere – I think for now I’d prefer to get my fashion a little closer to home so that I’m not sucked in to spending too frivolously.\n\nWhat are your thoughts and experiences?\n\nThe final bump shot. I can’t believe less than a week ago my two babes were still inside there. We took this the night before my section and I’d spent most of the day in tears that my pregnancy was over. It’s been really tough, especially at the end, and I was physically spent, but in no way emotionally ready - I cant even begin to describe just how much I’m going to miss feeling them wriggle inside me. I feel so privileged that I got to experience this miracle twice, so thankful for this body that grew and housed my beautiful children and delivered them to me safely. I will never stop being in awe of how incredible our bodies are ❤️\nSo - here they are! Finally we are home with our gorgeous baby boys, reunited with thier darling brother Bailey and doggy Bonnie and have had time to get to know them properly to give them names! We’d like to formally introduce Taylor Lenny (left) and Jesse Cooper! Bonnie has been an angel so far, Bailey’s thoughts on the matter are a little more complex but he’s been very sweet, giving them kisses and offering them his cars. We are so happy to be home as a family of 5 (plus dog!) It feels a bit like a beautiful dream 🥰\nThey’re here…!! Our two new baby boys were delivered safely on Friday morning via c-section. We’re doing well, still in the hospital having treatment for a touch of jaundice but hoping to be reunited with our darling Bailey at home very soon. I will introduce you properly in due course, but just wanted to let you know we’re all fine. Thank you so much for all the lovely messages asking after us, I’ll get back to you all soon once we’re settled. Lots of love in this room right now 🥰\nRight, I’m about to do that really Insta-wankery thing of making a big announcement as I leave the room like I’m Elvis or something 😂 The big day is looming ever closer so I’m signing out for a short while to get mentally prepared and spend some quality time with my boys. I know if and when I stop posting people will wonder and I didn’t want anyone to worry. I’ll be around in the background, just not actively posting (I’m pretty much going to be in comfies from here on in anyway so won’t have much to post in the way of interesting outfit photos!) have a lovely week or two, and hopefully I’ll have some exciting news for you soon! Over and out!\nWe’ve had a lovely day today. The twins are due to arrive around Dan’s birthday so we decided to do some celebrating this weekend. Started the day with pressies, then a lovely long dog walk in the sunshine (I actually hit 10000 steps for the first time in ages today which I didn’t think was even possible!) and a fun afternoon with friends. Feels very surreal to think days like this as a family of three are nearly over!\nThink Bailey is going to miss his cuddle seat 🥰\nLoading Comments...\n%d bloggers like this:"

"• Bitcoin has dropped 54% in value.\n• Ethereum and other cryptos are affected by China announcement.\n\nEthereum and Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrencies, dropped to their lowest value in a while on Wednesday, which had not been seen in months. The last time something of sorts occurred was March of last year, where cryptocurrencies presented high losses. This drop in prices occurred with the measure that China applied 24 hours ago in which they were seen to have prohibited financial institutions from using cryptocurrencies.\n\nThe largest-cap cryptocurrency on the market was already under pressure from Elon Musk with his latest tweets. The news from China only added to the problems facing the top cryptocurrency’s valuation, falling to $30,066 million. Bitcoin is capitalized at less than $43 billion due to the decline, with more decline, unfortunately, expected.\n\nThe cryptocurrency that has received the most significant impact with the news from China has been Bitcoin; losing 54% of its value. In previous months the cryptocurrency had reached its historical all-time high of $64,895.\n\nPanxora CEO Gavin Smith is not surprised by Bitcoin’s drop in capitalization. Smith points out this fall in cryptocurrency was to be expected due to its influx of investors. The cryptocurrency is in a tailspin, which Smith claims is part of its nature, expected to help maintain its popularity in the coming months. This is definitely not the end of Bitcoin or Ethereum, however, it was a very discouraging price drop.\n\nThe Bitcoin crash undoubtedly affected other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, which fell to $1,850. The second-in-command cryptocurrency had not lost its capitalization since the end of January. On the 12th of May, Ether reached its all-time high, and today it has plummeted by 57%.\n\nThe DOGE cryptocurrency that has gained fame for being inspired by a meme lost 26% of its value, according to Coingecko. Tesla, which had shares in Bitcoin and Dogecoin, lost 4.8%, which would be approximately $555.83.\n\nSome investors have predicted that cryptocurrencies like Ethereum may suffer further losses of this level. However, they suggest that Bitcoin’s drop below $40,000 may trigger a tide of new investments. As Bitcoin is proven to generate substantial profits, traders can take advantage of the declining market to join the market.\n\nInvestors could also take this drop as a signal to sell their BTC and exchange it for gold. Shortly, cryptocurrencies may lose more value, but they are expected to recover from this current situation. JPMorgan analytics experts cite that cryptocurrencies have a promising future regardless of the happenings of recent days."

"The Dirty Dozen: What You Need to Know\n\nEvery year, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) tests pesticides in samples of fruits and vegetables. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzes the data from these samples to compile their widely-read Dirty Dozen list of fruits and vegetables containing the highest amount of pesticide residue (and therefore a good idea to buy organic). They also release the Clean Fifteen, a list of crops with the lowest residue. Their comprehensive list ranks the pesticide contamination of 46 popular fruits and vegetables based on analysis of over 45,000 samples taken by the USDA and Food and Drug Administration (FDA).\n\nAccording to the EWG’s written report for their lists released in 2022, “nearly 70 percent of the non-organic fresh produce sold in the U.S. contains residues of potentially harmful chemical pesticides.” The EWG recognizes that fresh fruits and vegetables are vital components of a healthy diet and through their annual report aims to educate readers that many crops contain potentially harmful pesticides, even after thorough washing, peeling, or scrubbing, which the USDA performs before testing each food.\n\nWhy Does Pesticide Exposure Matter?\n\nPesticide ingestion has been linked to immune issues, cancer, developmental problems, Parkinson’s disease, and endocrine disruption.² Endocrine disruption can lead to a variety of conditions including endometriosis, precocious puberty, painful periods, elevated estrogen levels in men, and other hormonal conditions. Exposure to these chemicals has also been linked to lower IQs in children of exposed mothers, higher rates of prostate cancer in farm workers, and higher rates of ADHD.\n\nThese concerns are serious and researchers are just beginning to uncover the long-term effects of pesticide ingestion. Reducing exposure wherever possible and choosing foods with the least amount of residue is a wise choice!",

"While eating 100 percent organic across the board is ideal, we understand that produce availability, budget constraints, and various other factors impact the choices we make on a daily basis. A great place to begin is by choosing organic options for foods on the Dirty Dozen list. Prioritizing organic selections for those foods is a fantastic first step in reducing exposure and thereby reducing the toxic load you’re putting on your body.\n\nUse both the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists to optimize your shopping at the store and make smart selections for your health and the health of your family!",

"“Tonight allows people a release for all the hatred and violence that they keep up inside them.”\n– James Sandin\n\nSYNOPSIS: In the future, a wealthy family is held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge, a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legalized. – via IMDB\n\nI didn’t really expect huge things from this film seeing as just about anyone and everyone slammed it for being a disappointment, but seriously I didn’t realise it was so much so. The concept itself was perfectly fine and it had the potential to be great but screwed up any chances of that rapidly.\n\nEthan Hawke is doing more horrors? When did this happen? I have no issue with this, it’s just… weird. Max Burkholder was very unconvincing, everything about his character contradicted other parts of his character and he just… annoyed me, but whatever. I didn’t actually want to stab Lena Headey for a change, though she certainly is magnetic. The only person that had even just a teeny tiny bit of something to bring forth was Rhys Wakefield as the Polite Leader who successfully terrorised the family from outside. He was certainly odd and strange and a little cooked in the head and a serious believer in The Annual Purge.\n\nI don’t know, for something that could have been interesting and fun and all that, it was awfully bland and boring, silly and all the rest of it. I couldn’t even identify with the family at all. There was so much nonsensical nonsense going on at any given moment, too, which was highly annoying. The concept is weird, but has potential. A lot. Instead, we get a relatively run of the mill home invasion movie with a little twist on that concept, but not enough to blow me away. So much more could have been done. The movie just felt flat, badly paced, and illogical. I believe there is a sequel coming to this, and it makes no sense to continue with this at all. Oh well."

"A week ago, House Republicans complained that Democrats imposed excessive secrecy on interviews conducted as part of the drive to impeach President Trump. Now, the situation appears to have gotten worse.\n\nFriday's interview of Marie Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, marked a new point — a low point, as Republicans see it — in Democratic efforts to keep impeachment information out of public view.\n\nIn this way: The two previous impeachment interviews, with former special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker and Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, were conducted in the format of what is known as a transcribed interview. Rep. Adam Schiff, who is running the Democratic impeachment effort, decreed that transcripts not be released to the public. At the same time, there were no heavily restrictive rules on what would happen should any member of Congress, acting from memory, reveal things that were said in the interview.\n\nThe Yovanovitch session was different. Democrats conducted the interview in the format of a deposition, which is different from a transcribed interview. One key difference is that there are serious penalties for lawmakers who reveal the contents of a deposition. Doing so would almost surely subject the offending member to a House ethics investigation.\n\nAll Republicans remember the price paid by Rep. Devin Nunes, who in 2017, as chairman of the Intelligence Committee, faced an ethics investigation based on a complaint from a Democratic-allied outside group alleging he leaked classified information. Nunes was later cleared of all the charges, but he had to distance himself from some committee activities as the investigation slowly proceeded.\n\nNow, some Republican lawmakers express fear of Democrats siccing an ethics investigation on them if they reveal what took place in the Yovanovitch interview, even though none of what was discussed was classified...\n\nAny impeachment shortcircuiting minority rights and due process are illegitimate.\n\nDemocrats have the prerogative to run it as a Star Chamber proceeding.\n\nThe Eternal Court Of History will smile and tear their verdict into tatters,\n\nHelping their friends in the MSM sell fish wrappers and TV ads.\n\nWhere’s the impeachment vote? They have had the inquiry for three weeks plus and the whistleblower for the same amount of time. When are we going to see some action, not just talk, and talk, and talk, and talk. The democrats are letting us know, albeit unintentionally, that they never intended to impeach Trump, just talk about it. What a bunch of blowhards! The idea is just to implicate Trump in some wrongdoing without any evidence. Remember this when voting.\n\nI really believe that they would rival Stalin, Hitler and Mao if they are allowed to do so.\n\nWhere’s a whistle blower when you need one? What is being said in those meetings?\n\nMuch of the story of this Ambassador has been reported, so why don’t we tell what we know. Let’s all get the info about her out in open space.\n\nI read that she was a holdover Ambassador, loyal to Pres Obama and when Donald Trump became president she began to voice of dislike and even hatred for the new president.\n\nThen I read that she presented to the old regime, the corrupt regime, a list of names that officials were\n\nIf we all get the truth out in the social media, it will be hard to hide as the Democrats want to do.\n\nI wonder how it is the secret unnamed whistle blower has been receiving death threats.\n\nThe Democratic Congress is engaged in coup plotting—treason and RICO.\n\nTime for the Justice Department to stop being Just Us and do something about it.\n\nNot a deal-buster. The dims may have datapoints gleaned from these interrogations but they can’t do anything with them (same as the pubbies). At the point they try to do anything the pubbies are safe to regard that as “secret-mode off”.\n\nMy bet is that they have handfuls o nuttin...\n\nIt depends on who writes the history. As the left has controlled most institutions for decades, I am not so sure the truth will be heralded.\n\nSilly rabbit. Only Democrats are allowed to lie under oath without consequences.\n\nSecret trials that lack due process - where you’re not allowed question your accusers or hire a lawyer - are common in the kind of countries democrats want to create here...\n\nThis is not an “Impeachment Inquiry”. This is a Stalinist Star Chamber.\n\nThese “whistleblowers” are nothing but activists/terrorists coming in from the dark and going active. They are the lefts new heroes.",

"Skip to content\nYou are at: Home » News » Mining » PS3 Bitcoin mining: does it really work?\n\nThe question was launched back in 2011, when generating Bitcoins was still considered “easy”. Can one really mine Bitcoins with a Playstation 3? Well, you could technically do it, but it’s just not worth the hassle anymore.\n\nThe debate started on the Bitcointalk.org forum when the user ‘jkminkov’ wrote the following words two years ago: “just wondering if PS3 (Playstation 3) is capable of mining Bitcoins and which kHash/s, it can run Linux, has OpenCL drivers”. The answer is yes. A PS3, depending on which version we are talking about, is just a computer able to run Linux and, therefore, able to mine cryptocurrency.\n\nHowever, if the associated energy costs were high two years ago, imagine now.\n\nAnd what about power? The numbers represent the bone of contention in this case. In the same debate, the user ‘ArtForz’ suggests this result:",
null,
"Other Bitcoiners in the forum disagree while some other brave pioneers claimed they were able to achieve a maximum of 22 MH/sec. The question remains the center of an exciting debate until today, one that will probably get lost in the confines of the world wide web.\n\nThe numbers don’t really matter anymore because the difficulty level has skyrocketed to the current 6,119,726,089, but the question was still being debated on Reddit less than a year ago.\n\nAnd even CEX.io, a cloud mining service, wrote about the possibility.\n\nBitcoin miners are geeky enough, trying to test mining on every device they’ve got or are able to find. And it’s hardly surprising, because the process does nothing but brings money. Thus, it would be strange if miners haven’t used such widespread device as the PlayStation 3 (or simply PS3) for this purpose.\n\nPS3 is a home video game console, which is a must to have for every second guy on the planet. Primarily PS3 is made for playing games, obviously. Still, it has CPU and GPU, which means, it can be used as Bitcoin mining hardware as well.\n\nIn order to do so, users install customized firmware on PS3, most commonly Linux. After that, they compile CellMiner web application or a similar one, and off they go!\n\nIn fact, it all sounds more than simple for advanced users. Moreover, the very idea to return you money spent on a console by the means of getting revenue through mining and it’s praiseworthy that people start understanding the Bitcoin mining process. Still, this game isn’t worth playing if someone wants to get a profit, because nowadays any GPU speed compared with specialized mining equipment is negligible. And this statement is going to become more and more even, as the mining difficulty grows day by day. Finally, if your PS3 is reconfigured for Bitcoin mining, the device will no longer be a game console, as it originally was meant to be.\n\nAccording to CEX.io, “PS3 Bitcoin mining is not a myth and even not a hard thing to do”. However, “it’s actually rather a means to try yourself in Bitcoin mining than a way to get real advantage of it”. ASICs are, of course, the way to go these days. But that is something every Bitcoiner already knows."

"What do I do with the Egyptian mummy?\n\nI’ve been going gangbusters writing my book lately. This is why my blog posts have tapered off recently – sorry – but there are some important advantages in staying in the Zone, without any interruptions.\n\nWhen I have a concentrated spell of writing, rather than fitting it in around other obligations, which is the natural condition of most university teachers (and most women, for that matter), I find that I make connections that I might have missed if I was working my way more slowly from chapter to chapter.\n\nAs usual, I’m wrestling with the agony of what to leave out. I’ve always felt that the clearest difference between an antiquarian and a good historian lies in their ability to stick to the wider perspective without getting sidetracked by fascinating trivia.\n\nBiography gives the writer a little more leeway: odd facts can illuminate a personality, and they add colour and movement to a life. But odd facts can be a distraction, a sequence of one-damn-thing-after-another anecdotes, and they have the potential to distort the narrative if it relies entirely on the accident of what documentary evidence remains. Trivial facts need to be odd, as in occasional, not just odd.\n\nSo what do I do about the Egyptian mummy? Sadly, I think it belongs in the Kill Your Darlings file – but I would love to be persuaded otherwise.\n\nIn 1820, Walter Stevenson Davidson (the subject of my biography, if you are coming late to the party) went home to Britain on leave from his business selling opium in China. He took the ‘overland route’, the fast route favoured by travellers without the patience to sail from India right around the Cape of Good Hope. They took one ship to the Red Sea, then travelled overland, usually to Alexandria, where they took a second ship for the rest of the journey.\n\nThe overland route was a well-organized and well-beaten track, and groups of travellers usually went overland in convoy, with plenty of local servants to deal with their voluminous luggage. This route brought a lot of English and Scots into contact with Egypt for the first time – generating a demand for souvenirs on a grand scale.",

"Walter Davidson travelled with a friend, Thomas Coats, and in February 1820 they visited Thebes, where they each bought a mummy – as you do.\n\nHe purchased a mummy from the excavations near Thebes, at Gournon, in February, 1820, selected out of a dozen which he opened, as the best preserved. It proved to be that of a male. It was quite dry; the hair and teeth were most perfect, the former being very long, in great profusion, and smoothly combed down. The body contained only a large quantity of gum, and there was no flesh, or very little of it, on the bones. Every part was brittle. It was enveloped in cotton bandages to a great extent, and was contained within two cases. [Granville, pp.24-5]\n\nNow, what on earth do I do with this story? It is in no way central to Walter’s life, and would interrupt my account of the events that brought him back to Scotland just then to deal with the aftermath of his father’s death. It would probably give a modern reader the wrong idea anyway: what is he doing wasting time sightseeing in Thebes when he should be hurrying back to look after the family?\n\nTime is a relative concept, of course, but it would take a long exegesis to explain that in 1820, even travellers in a hurry had lots of time on their hands, hanging around waiting for porters or resting their animals – camels? mules? Both human and animal beasts of burden were important, because these travellers did not travel light. I understand why they couldn’t fit everything into a 20kg. suitcase, but how on earth do you get a couple of mummies home?\n\nThomas Coats later married Walter’s sister – I’ve mentioned this here – and gave his mummy to the Literary Society of his home town of Newcastle-on-Tyne. I’ve no idea what happened to Walter’s mummy. It is hard to imagine it gracing his living room, but who knows?\n\nI’d love to include the story of Walter’s Egyptian mummy in my book, but I’ve no idea where to slot it in. It has no wider significance – unless I can, perhaps, use it to illustrate the commodification of human beings that was part of the 19th century imperial project. That’s a bit tortuous really – but it is a great story.\n\nNote: Thanks to Simon Peers for first alerting me to the story of WSD’s mummy.\nA.B. Granville, An Essay on Egyptian Mummies; with Observations on the Art of Embalming among the Ancient Egyptians (London, 1825), is available on Google Books here.\nGranville is another of my Dead Darlings – I’ve written about him here."

"By now you know that making fun of spam is kind of my thing.\n\nThanks to this undoubtedly unhealthy hobby I have been collecting all sorts of spam, instead of deleting it from my junk mail folder like most sane people. As a result I am now in a possession of humble yet diverse assortment of random bits of spam art.\n\nDon’t worry, with enough dedication you too can have a respectable spam collection in no time. And by “enough dedication” I mean “not pressing the ’empty spam’ button for a few days”.\n\nAs somewhat of a spam connoisseur I can inform you that spam comes in a variety of forms. Some messages are written as full-length letters and tell complex stories. Some are literally a jumble of disconnected words that form no coherent whole at all – kind of like Lady Gaga songs. Oh yes, I went there.",
null,
"And then there’s another type of spam – one with a single catchphrase and a link. It’s the spam equivalent of a store sign saying “Get your nipple clamps right here! Two for the price of one!”. Man, I could’ve literally picked anything other than “nipple clamps” for that analogy and it would’ve worked just as well. Too late now.\n\nIt’s the third type of spam I’d like to discuss today. Recently I have been getting a few of these per day. Each of them had something about penis enlargement in the subject line. Inside the email was a link, preceded by a single sentence. I haven’t followed any of the links, because I know that doing so would slowly destroy both my soul and mental state – kind of like listening to Lady Gaga. OK, that was the last one…for now.",
null,
"Lady Gaga’s audition for the role of Nick Fury was destined to fail.\n\nThe sentences in the emails, however, have been diligently collected. I now bring to you – the “Spam Catchphrase Collection, Part One”. None of these have been altered in any way. What they lack in sanity they make up for with failed creativity.\n\n10. Hit a home run every night with your gigantic bat.\n\nVery clever. Home run = success in bed. Gigantic bat = big penis. How could you possibly go wrong with a baseball analogy for sex? Here’s how: “Hit a home run every night with your gigantic bat”.\n\n9. Your powerful rod will rip their blouses off.\n\nFinally! Every man’s dream of being able to rip women’s clothing off with his genitals has become reality. What? Is it just me? OK then.\n\n8. Slam, jam and bang them with a longer and wider rooster of pleasure.\n\nI see what you did there. Because, you know, “rooster”. Hehe. Your idea of what sex entails is a bit distorted though. There’s definitely a lot less professional wrestling involved than you seem to assume.\n\n7. Oil prices are starting to DROP.\n\nWait, what?! Why am I getting market updates in an email about penis enlargement? Or is there a scientifically proven correlation between oil prices and penis size? If so, I don’t envy the researcher tasked with verifying that connection.\n\nYou, sir, have the least imaginative friends on Earth. Also, they sound like a bunch of dicks. You should really stop being friends with a bunch of dicks hanging out in a locker room. Hey, you started this pun game, not me.\n\nGreat, another rooster pun. I’m starting to think this “penis enlargement” campaign is just a cover up for some shady dealings in illegal poultry.\n\n4. Germany shows Portugal the strength in an extra inch.\n\nI like to imagine that there was an actual competition where two teams of men engaged in penis-size based trials. Actually no, I don’t like imagining that at all!\n\n3. I regained confidence in Eva Longoria after 2 months of herbal supplements.\n\nAaaw, you shouldn’t have doubted Eva Longoria in the first place! Wait a minute…is…is Eva Longoria what you call your penis? Because that’s the only way I can make sense of that sentence. Man, you’ve got far bigger problems than just lack of confidence in your size.\n\n2. Your cock size will be written on your forehead.\n\nWhy would I ever want that to happen? Even if I had the world’s largest penis I’d never consider having its size stamped on my forehead. Sure, it would make for some great ice-breakers, but that would all be overshadowed by the fact that I’d have my dick size written on my freaking forehead!\n\nNo. No it’s not. It really isn’t. It’s not even a word. Seriously, the only nickname you could give your penis that is shittier than Cockzilla is Hammer of Doom…or possibly Eva Longoria.\n\nAll of these gems have been collected in the span of a single week, so I have no doubt that more brilliant ones are still to come. Heaven help us all…\n\n24/06/2012: This post of mine is participating in the Dude Write line up this week where you can find some excellent posts by bloggers who happen to be dudes. You don’t have to be a dude to give the posts a read, though, so head on over!"

"Stephen Webb has a pivotal tax season ahead of him and he doesn’t have time for distractions. At least that’s what he thinks—until Minoru “Max” Kamigawa walks into his life and disrupts all his plans.\n\nMax secretly wants to follow his love of music, but family obligations keep him rooted in Hawaii. Tax supervisor Stephen Webb makes his spring internship a little sweeter, but the man’s priorities don’t seem to include Max. Is it only a fling or something worth staying for when his dreams come calling?\n\nStephen and Max must decide whether to stick to their goals or risk everything and change their course for love.\n\nA May-December MM romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers set in Honolulu, Hawaii.\n\n“Are you trying to seduce me?” Stephen asked savagely. His grip on the shirt he’d found for Max was so tight he was sure there would be wrinkles in it when Max put it on.\n\nMax appeared completely dumbfounded by the idea. “What—No!” He was hanging onto the towel which had become untucked around his waist and was now held up only by his hand—and possibly by sheer willpower on Stephen’s part. “Unless… Is it working?” There was a hopeful note in his tone.\n\n“You didn’t dry yourself very well,” he growled. There was still water dripping from Max’s hair, glistening along the smooth planes of Max’s chest and stomach.\n\nStephen nodded, his eyes moving from Max’s stomach up his chest to the exposed line of his neck, where the flush began. “I could leave.” That was exactly what he should have done. His mind screamed for him to do it, but his traitorous body remained frozen there, only a couple of feet away from the shower.\n\nMax swallowed; Stephen could see his Adam’s apple moving. “You could stay. Help me dry off.” Max’s voice was light and casual, but when Stephen’s eyes flicked to his face he caught a look of shock which suggested Max hadn’t meant to say that. He was all impulse and no control, this boy.\n\nStephen felt his own self-control slipping away in the face of blatant temptation. He dropped the shirt he was holding onto the floor and took another few steps closer to Max, extending a hand.\n\nMax stared down at it, making an inquisitive noise.\n\n“The towel,” said Stephen, and was glad his voice wasn’t as unsteady as he thought it would be. “How am I supposed to assist you without one?”\n\n“Oh,” Max said. He swallowed again, then reached down and grabbed the towel without breaking eye contact with Stephen. He dropped it into Stephen’s hand. It was damp and a little warm from the heat of Max’s body.\n\nStephen brought it up and pressed it against Max’s chest. He scrubbed at the residual water there, then swept up to his shoulders. Max let out a sigh as Stephen brought the towel down, scraping the fibers over Max’s flat stomach. His hand paused there for a second.\n\n“What the hell am I doing?” It wasn’t an actual question. Stephen couldn’t even pretend he was under the influence of alcohol this time. He couldn’t last time either; he’d spent the entire week since his tryst with Max completely distracted, turning over and over in his mind everything they’d done that night and trying to ascertain if he could really blame it on the alcohol. The conclusion he’d reached was he hadn’t been nearly drunk enough in the kitchen that night. Not enough to be absolved of guilt.\n\nHe wasn’t drunk at all now. Neither was Max, which was the important thing.\n\n“Drying me off, remember?” Max said thickly. “You could continue. You left that door open—I could catch a chill.” Possibly to emphasize his point—or maybe because Stephen’s hand was curving around his torso to his back—Max shivered. He moved closer so Stephen could reach behind him. Stephen brought the towel up, making a cross with his hand across the expanse of flesh, starting from the tip of his shoulder blade and reaching downwards to the small of Max’s back, then up again to the opposite shoulder.\n\nWhen Max’s back was sufficiently dry, Stephen drew the towel lower. He heard a soft hiss from Max, who let his head drop onto Stephen’s shoulder.\n\n“I think I can manage the rest,” Max breathed. His wet hair dripped water onto Stephen’s shirt. Stephen could feel it seep into the fabric and settle, cold on his skin. “I don’t want to get you wet. Unless you want to take off your clothes, too.”\n\nStephen’s hand clenched involuntarily over the towel on Max’s ass at the words. Max turned his head so his mouth was just an inch away from Stephen’s neck. He moaned, his hot breath suffocating.\n\n“You already got me wet,” Stephen said. He didn’t think he managed to keep his voice steady this time.\n\nMax reached out with damp hands and touched Stephen’s collar, fingertips gliding over the buttons. “Can I?” he asked. “You didn’t get any tea on you. No excuse to change shirts.”\n\n“No reason to, if we both behave. And we’re going to.”\n\nA small, frustrated sound came from the back of Max’s throat. “Are we?”\n\nStephen nodded. He used both hands over the towel to massage the flesh of Max’s buttocks, a finger over the towel snaking into the crease to wipe away any water lodged there, then gently ghosting over Max’s balls.\n\n“Shit,” Max gasped, body trembling. “You trying to punish me?”\n\n“Do you admit you’ve done something wrong?”\n\nA chuckle shook Max, vibrating against Stephen’s shoulder, and Max brought his hands up to steady himself with a gentle touch on Stephen’s upper arms. “I’ll admit anything, if you just—”\n\nMax moved his head a fraction so his lips just brushed the lobe of Stephen’s ear. “Make me come,” Max whispered. The words—and the proximity of Max’s lips to his skin, made chills run down Stephen’s back.\n\nHe drew his arms back, and for the first time glanced down at Max’s cock, fully aroused and flushed beautifully, a few droplets of water still clinging to the smooth, delicate skin. He drew in an admiring breath. It would feel so good to have Max’s thick cock inside him. He imagined himself on top of Max, riding out his orgasm and listening to Max moan as Stephen squeezed around him.\n\nMax’s eyes widened in surprise, but Stephen noticed that his cock twitched as he complied. Thanks to Stephen’s efforts, Max’s back was mostly dry now. Stephen felt no qualms—except for the vague ethical ones he was resolutely ignoring right now—in pulling him forward so he leaned against Stephen, his back to Stephen’s chest. Stephen curled his left arm around Max, hugging Max to him.\n\n“Don’t slip,” he warned. He tossed the towel aside, curling his right hand around Max’s cock and stroking him in a firm, steady rhythm.",

"Bookstores are dangerous places for me. I invariably leave with less money—and more books than I’ll ever have time to read. But I have to support my habit: I’m basically an idea junkie. I like to learn things, absorb new ideas, and challenge my mind to form connections between concepts that don’t seem to go together. So I choose books not because I assume they’re true, but because I expect them to be interesting or thought-provoking. When I’ve finished reading a book, though, I usually have a pretty strong sense of whether or not I believe it. After reading a dozen books by Carlos Castaneda—along with quite a few criticisms of his work—I could only come to the conclusion that some or all the stories he told may or may not be somewhat or completely true. This very uncertainty is one of the things that makes his books so interesting. I have since revised my conclusion—about which more later. But first, some background.\n\nFor years, as I browsed through second-hand books, I frequently came across Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge. I’d invariably pick it up, glance at it, and put it back on the shelf. Then I read Fritjof Capra’s The Tao of Physics, which had a brief quote from don Juan at the beginning, and that piqued my curiosity. Shortly thereafter, I ran across the book at a thrift shop and decided I could give it a whirl for 50 cents. Within a few pages I was hooked, and after finishing it I read all 11 of its successors. For better or worse, I was too late to be a groupie—in April, 1998, before I had finished reading all of the books, Castaneda died. Only then did I begin to realize the extent of the controversy surrounding his life and work, and the state of confusion he left behind among both fans and critics.\n\nFor those unfamiliar with Castaneda and his books, here’s the short version of the story. Castaneda was studying anthropology at UCLA in the early 1960s, and during the course of his field research in Mexico, he claims to have met a Yaqui Indian named Juan Matus. Don Juan was reputed to be an expert on medicinal plants, and Castaneda hoped to use him as an informant to learn more about the use of peyote among certain groups of native Mexicans. The Teachings of Don Juan purports to be an anthropological study of the way don Juan used a variety of hallucinogenic plants as part of a system of sorcery. The research, however, was participatory rather than objective, and don Juan’s intent was apparently to treat Castaneda as an apprentice, indoctrinating him into the ways of the particular brand of sorcery he practiced.\n\nThe hallucinogenic plants turn out to be a red herring. In Castaneda’s next book, A Separate Reality, they have a more limited role, and from there on, they’re barely mentioned. The books focus on other aspects of Castaneda’s training as a sorcerer, along with several other apprentices of don Juan and his fellow sorcerer Genaro Flores. Eventually don Juan reveals that he only taught Castaneda about the plants to get his attention; most of the teachings are internal, psychological. Castaneda learns how to turn off his inner dialogue, control his dreams, perceive other people as luminous energy, and behave in a manner don Juan calls “impeccability.” A lot of time is devoted to an exercise called recapitulation, in which Castaneda recalls and relives all the events of his life. At the end of Castaneda’s fourth book, by which time he had been working with don Juan for over a decade, don Juan and don Genaro “leave the world,” which readers are supposed to understand not as death but as a deliberate crossing into another plane of existence.\n\nSurprisingly, the story does not end there. Castaneda returns to Mexico two years later and meets up with the other apprentices of don Juan and don Genaro, some of whom we haven’t heard of yet. By the sixth book, The Eagle’s Gift, Castaneda and another apprentice, a woman nicknamed “La Gorda,” discover something shocking: during the years of their apprenticeship, don Juan had frequently made them shift into a heightened state of awareness, wherein he had taught them a variety of things that they could not remember in their normal state of awareness. There follows a long reexamination of their entire relationship with don Juan. They find that most of what they thought they knew was wrong or at least irrelevant; all the most crucial teachings had been hidden, delivered as they were in this altered state.\n\nCastaneda’s penultimate book, Magical Passes, covers a series of movement exercises vaguely like ch’i kung, which are supposedly a key component of the knowledge don Juan revealed—even though they’re barely hinted at in any of the other books. Where Castaneda’s other books were simply reporting his own experiences, this one alone is actually written as an instruction manual.\n\nFrom the publication of Castaneda’s first book in 1968 until today, he has been subject to harsh and relentless criticism. Entire books have been written on this subject, but I’ll give you just a sampling. First, many critics question whether such a person as don Juan ever existed. Only Castaneda and his close associates seem to have met him; there is no photograph or documentary evidence to prove he existed, or even a corpse—he conveniently “vanished.” Anthropologists point out that a number of the details Castaneda gave are inconsistent with what is known about the Yaqui Indians, native Mexican sorcery, and even the geography, flora, and fauna of the places Castaneda claims to have visited. Likewise, critics have cited other sources of suspiciously similar stories, suggesting that Castaneda “borrowed” some of his material. In addition, critics say, his stories read a bit too much like novels—real life doesn’t arrange itself that neatly for literary convenience, so at minimum he must have employed some artistic license in his descriptions. Then, of course, some worry that his discussions of hallucinogenic plants encourage the use of drugs.\n\nCastaneda himself refused to respond to any of his critics. He was for the most part a recluse, declining to be interviewed or even photographed. His unwillingness to defend himself or offer proof of his claims was seen as an implicit admission of guilt; on the other hand, Castaneda’s own books repeatedly say that according to don Juan, a life of obscurity is absolutely essential to a sorcerer. Apologists thus counter that Castaneda was simply practicing what he preached.\n\nHe did, however, conduct seminars and workshops for a select few students. One of these students, Amy Wallace, was Castaneda’s lover (or one of them) for a number of years. Her 2003 memoir Sorcerer’s Apprentice gives an unprecedented (though clearly biased) inside look at the real Castaneda. A fascinating read, it details the life of a man who appears by turns to be a highly evolved guru and a megalomaniacal cult leader. Wallace’s bottom-line opinion: don Juan almost certainly did not exist, but Castaneda, though deeply disturbed, was a genius who believed deeply in the path he followed. This seemed to be the general consensus of those interviewed for the 2004 documentary film Carlos Castaneda—Enigma of a Sorcerer, made by another former Castaneda student, Ralph Torjan. Another book with a different (and also rather uncomplimentary) view of Castaneda was A Magical Journey With Carlos Castaneda, written by Margaret Runyan Castaneda, who claimed to have been married to Carlos for 13 years (though there is some uncertainty as to whether she really was).\n\nIn any case, these books and the film together erased any lingering faith I may have had in the veracity of Castaneda’s writings. Unlike his students, I can’t take his ideas seriously knowing what I do about him.\n\nIs The Truth Out There?\n\nWhat makes Castaneda’s books so compelling to many is their vivid descriptions of the world as perceived through the eyes of a sorcerer (or “man of knowledge”—in Castaneda’s usage, the term “sorcerer” does not carry any undertones of evil practices). Some of the experiences he reports are frightening, shocking, or simply off-putting, and they wouldn’t make the average person say, “Hey, this sounds like fun, I think I’ll become a sorcerer.” What they suggest, though, is that the underlying reality of the world is not at all as most people perceive it, that ordinary human awareness is, as it were, a bad habit.\n\nCastaneda’s writings have attracted such a following for much the same reason as The Matrix or The X-Files: people want to believe that there’s more to the universe than meets the eye, that a more fantastic world lies beyond our perception. Whether Castaneda’s version of alternative reality is the right one, or even approximately correct, is the question. But whatever your opinion of Castaneda—a prophet, a fraud, or a misguided fool—his books are fascinating and thought-provoking. Even in fiction, there are kernels of truth.\n\nNote: This is an updated version of an article that originally appeared on Interesting Thing of the Day on June 19, 2003, and again in a slightly revised form on October 21, 2004."

"SALISBURY — It’s fair to say that firefighting is a family tradition for David Linker. He remembers when the alarm sounded watching his father, A.L. Linker, run from their house to the fire station nearby.\n\nDavid Linker has been a firefighter himself, but on Thursday he walked away after 46 years.\n\n“This is a family. The people who do this do it because they care. It’s a way of life,” Linker said of firefighting.\n\nWhen asked the reason for retirement, Linker said he “got too old.”\n\n“I thought maybe I should’ve done it a few years ago,” he said.\n\nLinker was a student at Catawba College and dropped out along with friend, Glenn Eagle. His friend talked him to enlisting in the Army.\n\nThe pair were joining on the buddy system. Somehow Linker signed up for more years than his buddy.\n\nLinker at one point spent 18 months in Okinawa, Japan, and 19 months in Turkey. Before joining the military, Linker had traveled a little within the United States, but not abroad.\n\nLinker always felt Glenn “owed” him after Glenn made an early military exit and so his longtime friend set him up on a blind date.\n\nLinker went on that date and nine months later he was married. He and his wife Peggy have been together for over 45 years.\n\nWhen Linker’s time in the military was up, he returned to his family home in Rockwell.\n\nLinker is one of five boys. When he was in high school, his youngest brother, Tim, was born. Tim is now the chief of the Rockwell Fire Department. Their father, A.L. Linker, was also a fire chief.\n\nWhen David Linker joined with Locke Fire Department, they responded to between 150 to 175 calls and this year firefighters responded to 1,330 calls.\n\n“We are all here because that’s where the good Lord put us,” he said.\n\nFirefighters are the ones who run into burning buildings when others are running out, he remarked.\n\nHe and Bill Kluttz were the first EMTs at Locke Fire Department, Linker recalled.\n\nEarly in his career, all firefighters had to do was fight fires and now they have to obtain and maintain certifications. There’s also medical calls and regular training mandates.\n\n“They’re expecting more out of fire service,” he said.\n\n“Mutual aid — there’s no way we can exist without it,” Linker said.\n\nMaking it this far is one of his greatest accomplishments. Linker battled fires alongside Jim Shue, who at 49, died while en route to a call. He was driving a fire truck and was killed in a collision. He also has served alongside Lt. Chris Phillips, who died a few hours after working a traffic accident.\n\n“Ultimately, you hope you do some good,” he said.\n\nHe hopes he’s instilling the same attitudes in the younger firefighters who are coming after him.\n\nLocke Fire Chief Rusty Alexander said one of the greatest contributions he felt Linker has made to the department was his push for paid fire personnel who could work 24 hour shifts.\n\n“You have to work as a team,” Linker said.\n\nThe fire department held a retirement banquet for Linker along with two others who also retired — Deputy Chief Jimmy Wilhelm after 33 years and Capt. Mike Erwin after 26 years.\n\nThis isn’t the first retirement for Linker. He was a property adjuster for Nationwide insurance. When he retired, he promised his wife they would take some trips. They haven’t taken as many trips as planned, but instead they’ve spent more time with their five grandchildren."

"Jun 27, 2019\nThe German police yesterday raided the house of the developer of OmniRAT and seized his laptop, computer and mobile phones probably as part of an investigation into a recent cyber attack, a source told The Hacker News. OmniRAT made headlines in November 2015 when its developer launched it as a legitimate remote administration tool for IT experts and companies to manage their devices with explicit permissions. Available between $25 and $100, OmniRAT quickly became one of the most popular remote administration tools, allowing users to monitor Android, Windows, Linux, and Mac devices remotely and access every available information on them. However, just like any other remote administration tool like DroidJack, DarkComet, AndroRAT, and njRAT, some customers of OmniRAT also used the tool for illicit purposes, especially because it was available at a far cheaper price than other RATs in the market. In one such event earlier this year, a group of hackers attempted to target severa\n\nJul 17, 2018\nAs it was speculated that the author of LuminosityLink RAT was arrested last year, a plea agreement made available to the public today confirmed the news. Back in September last year, Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) and National Crime Agency began the crackdown on the LuminosityLink RAT, targeting sellers and users of the malware, which resulted in the seizure of a considerable number of computers and internet accounts across the world, and complete takedown of the threat. Colton Grubbs , a 21-year-old man from Kentucky, the developer of the LumunosityLink RAT has pleaded guilty to federal charges of creating, selling and providing technical support for the malware to his customers, who used it to gain unauthorized access to thousands of computers across 78 countries worldwide. First surfaced in April 2015, the LuminosityLink RAT (Remote Access Trojan), also known as Luminosity, was a hacking tool that was sold for $40, marketing itself as a legitimate tool for Wi\n\nDec 20, 2017\nBuying popular plugins with a large user-base and using it for effortless malicious campaigns have become a new trend for bad actors. One such incident happened recently when the renowned developer BestWebSoft sold a popular Captcha WordPress plugin to an undisclosed buyer, who then modified the plugin to download and install a hidden backdoor. In a blog post published on Tuesday, WordFence security firm revealed why WordPress recently kicked a popular Captcha plugin with more than 300,000 active installations out of its official plugin store. While reviewing the source code of the Captcha plugin, WordFence folks found a severe backdoor that could allow the plugin author or attackers to remotely gain administrative access to WordPress websites without requiring any authentication. The plugin was configured to automatically pull an updated \"backdoored\" version from a remote URL — https[://]simplywordpress[dot]net/captcha/captcha_pro_update.php — after installati\n\nJan 10, 2017\nThe Shadow Brokers who previously stole and leaked a portion of the NSA hacking tools and exploits is back with a Bang! The hacking group is now selling another package of hacking tools, \" Equation Group Windows Warez ,\" which includes Windows exploits and antivirus bypass tools, stolen from the NSA-linked hacking unit, The Equation Group. For those unfamiliar with the topic, The Shadow Brokers is a notorious group of black-hat hackers who, in August 2016, leaked exploits, security vulnerabilities, and \"powerful espionage tools\" created by The Equation Group. On Saturday, the Shadow Brokers posted a message on their ZeroNet based website, announcing the sale of the entire \" Windows Warez \" collection for 750 Bitcoin (around US$678,630).

"If, up until this point, your life experience had only included acts of “fun”that brought you a sense of satisfaction that made life worth living then wipe the crusty residue from your septum and affix your looking sockets to this page.\n\nIn their ABSOLUTE MOST FUN SHOW TO GO TO, OperaFeHk will dazzle all your orifices with a performance of hitherto unseen of complexity and untouchable hilarity. Your previous experiences shall pale in comparison and the suffering that was once wrought shall be expunged like an impassioned plea for rational discourse from a website’s comments section.\n\nThe tall tale of the show is that the collective’s chief protagonist, a house with hippopotamus legs, has been cast singing the lead role in my new opera. During the overture, the conductor makes a series of unholy changes to the score: the flute is replaced with a whistle, the viola is replaced with a banjo, and the oboe is replaced by a whoopie cushion. Incensed that his changes don’t create spontaneous brilliance, the conductor storms off stage. When he returns, his baton is poking out of his chest and he collapses in a heap of ego. At this point, the opera becomes a murder mystery and the two leads set out to unravel the mystery of who killed the conductor.",

"The most obvious suspects are the instruments who were recast during the overture. The viola is interrogated, but she was too manically depressed to motivate herself to lash out; the flute was… too high; and the oboe confirms her status as a diva who wouldn’t stoop to such barbarism.\n\nAfter unsuccessful, yet hilarious interrogations, the conductor miraculously comes back to life and accuses the composer of committing the crime!\n\nspread the word! share this tasty morsel with friend and foe:"

"Chronic marijuana users have less gray matter in the orbital frontal cortex, a region of the brain that the Los Angeles Times accurately describes as “a key node in the brain’s reward, motivation, decision-making and addictive behaviors network.”\n\nThe findings, reported by researchers at the University of Texas’ Center for BrainHealth and the Albuquerque-based Mind Research Network, are published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\n\n“What’s unique about this work is that it combines three different MRI techniques to evaluate different brain characteristics,” Dr. Sina Aslan, founder and president of Advance MRI, LLC and adjunct assistant professor at The University of Texas at Dallas, told the Center for BrainHealth. “The results suggest increases in connectivity, both structural and functional, that may be compensating for gray matter losses. Eventually, however, the structural connectivity or ‘wiring’ of the brain starts degrading with prolonged marijuana use.”\n\nResearchers say the age of onset — meaning the age at which someone starts using marijuana — and duration of use have unique effects on brain development. Some of the brain differences they observed in regular marijuana users are differences that already have been reported in studies of mice.\n\nThe researchers studied 48 “chronic” users and 62 non-users matched by age and gender. They also controlled for tobacco and alcohol use. The researchers defined chronic users as people who used marijuana at least four times a week — and participants in their study consumed the drug an average of three times a day. (Side note: still more evidence that marijuana is addictive.) Subjects were an average age of 28 to 30 years old.\n\nResearchers found in chronic users smaller gray matter volume and greater structural and functional connectivity directly correlated to the severity of marijuana use. The more intense “connectedness” could be the brain’s way of compensating for the shrunken gray-matter regions.\n\n“To date, existing studies on the long-term effects of marijuana on brain structures have been largely inconclusive due to limitations in methodologies,” said Dr. Filbey. “While our study does not conclusively address whether any or all of the brain changes are a direct consequence of marijuana use, these effects do suggest that these changes are related to age of onset and duration of use.”\n\nMore research is needed to determine whether:"

"A Jewish life outside of Israel – on matters Diaspora\n\nIsrael’s Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely is in hot water over ‘disparaging‘ remarks she made about US Jewry. Whether or not there is any truth to her comments, Hotovely broke the unspoken rule of diaspora politics – Israeli politicians cannot criticise the Diaspora, but the Diaspora can freely criticise Israel.\n\nThe only surprise about these type of events, is that people are surprised by them. The truth is that each time this happens, it shakes the roots of a fake paradigm. Those connected to the issues feel such discomfort precisely because it sheds light into corners that must never be spoken about.\n\nThis is not a piece trying to analyse the complexities of today’s Israel-Diaspora relationship. It is not my place to tell other Jews what they should feel. As always my approach is the wider historical perspective. As someone who uses history to analyse the present, I often feel people deal with today as the ‘permanent’, when in reality, we are forever standing on shifting sands. It is the ‘permanence’ I seek to address.\n\nMost nations have some sort of an ex-pat community living in other countries, with families holding onto identity for a generation or two before fully integrating into their new host society. None have a Diaspora like the Jews. The Diaspora is unique in that it spawned the mother state, rather than the other way around. Yet clearly, there is absurdity here, because historical Israel also gave birth to the Diaspora. Which leaves us asking the question – just who is the parent, and who is the child?\n\nIn reality Israel is the parent, who is mistakenly treated by the Diaspora as the child. Israel is a ship that over the past 100 years, pulled up the anchor, left port, and sailed into the horizon. Just as many anti-Israel activists suggest Israel is full of Europeans from Poland (as if 1948 Europe was left with enough Jews to populate a nation), this errant idea, of the ‘European’ nature of Israel, also exists in the Diaspora. Israel is a nation in the Middle East, of the Middle East.\n\nThose Jews in the Diaspora who were there before the Holocaust, or still around in 1948 to see Israel’s birth, know the harsh reality of the world we live in. Those old enough to remember 1967, are aware of the fragility that Israel once knew. But for those born into a post-cold war environment, where religions of globalization and multiculturalism took the place of the fear of a ‘four-minute-warning’, Israel’s domination of its own neighborhood, is all they have ever known. They have only ever seen Israel as invincible. These people remain blissfully unaware that the Western comfort and wall-breaking idealism that they enjoy, is the false ‘permanent’ of their own world vision.\n\nThe underlying assumption in Diaspora Jewry is that Israel and the Diaspora can happily cohabitate on the same planet. There is no reason on earth to believe this is true. The Diaspora is a result of the dispersal. The Diaspora existed because Israel didn’t – and now Israel is on the map. 1948 saw an event that would forever be etched as a milestone onto any retelling of the Jewish timeline.\n\nWhat occurred was of more import than the ideological differences that saw both Christianity and Islam split into warring factions. Yet Judaism is not just another religion, we are also a people, which is why our orthodoxy and reform, regardless of the arguments, can all exist under one big umbrella marked ‘Jew’.\n\nIf Israel was at peace, if it were Switzerland, then the Diaspora could go about finding its own way. Making its own path, into whatever post-creation-of-Israel existence that imaginary universe would have plotted for it. But Israel is not at peace. It is, as it has always been, engaged in a bitter conflict, that brings it face to face with ethical issues, that the current ‘permanence’ of the West doesn’t have to cope with.\n\nSo whilst the vast majority in the Diaspora recognise Israel’s right to defend itself, many have trouble accepting the cost of that necessity. This split, between our world and theirs, creates an ethical imbalance. Israel is ours, we possess it and own it. It lives in our world, and yet it dares to behave as if it lives in another. We treat it as the wayward child, when in fact it remains the parent. This flaw in Diaspora thinking, underpinned by a difference between ‘Israel as ideal’, and ‘Israel as reality’, is at the heart of a very difficult and complex relationship.\n\nSo if the underlying assumption is built on a false premise, that of ‘permanence’, what is the future of the Diaspora? And this question nobody can yet answer. If Israel were to know peace, then the central conflict would shift from within the Diaspora (how dare Israel embarrass me in front of my friends?) to Jews in Israel (now we have peace, what kind of nation do we want Israel to be?). In such a scenario, tensions would lessen, and the strain on Jews in the Diaspora would evaporate. Unchallenged, Diaspora identity could continue slowly drifting.\n\nBut this is not reality. If, as seems likely, Israel is continually required to act, from a position of domination, to ensure the safety and security for its own citizens, then an ever-increasing amount of strain will be applied on those who just do not understand the history of the conflict, or the underlying necessity of Israel’s actions. More and more Jews, will suffer cognitive dissonance, and alienate themselves as the easy option – ‘that embarrassing family member – is no friend of mine!’\n\nFor as long as Diaspora Jews believe in the false ‘permanence’ of their own security, for as long as Israel provides the necessary Jewish target for antisemites to attack, and for as long as Israel’s security situation causes outbreaks of sporadic violence, the amount of anti-Zionist Jews will increase. This a probability, mainly because of the way Diaspora Jewry has internally dealt with the conflict.\n\nIsrael is central to Jewish Identity\n\nIsrael is a central part of our Jewish identity. To see raw evidence of this you only need to look at the friction between elements of Jewish Society in the Diaspora and Israel. Many Jews do not keep kosher or work on Shabbat, some do not fast on Yom Kippur. As you cross the spectrum more of the inherently Jewish identifiers are discarded, some Jews even question the circumcision. That some Jews do not support Israel is hardly a surprise. Just as with any part of our identity, we need to safeguard the practice by educating our children properly.\n\nThis year, another anti-Zionist Jew has been named as a candidate for President of the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) in the UK. Last year such a challenger was defeated, this year a similar fate will probably await Annie Cohen. Eventually, the earthquake may come. If it does – it will be our own fault.\n\nImagine beginning every religious blessing with an apology, teaching our children we have ethical conditions opposing the very ceremony we are about to undertake. How would this play out in religious adherence in our youth? This is exactly the way many in the Diaspora begin any discussion over Israel – with an explicit disassociation or apology for the State’s actions. This is especially true of Jewish community leaders.\n\nThe UK has it worse\n\nI often see activists criticising the less than solid support given Israel by many Jewish leaders. It is true in other Diaspora communities, but worse in the UK. Jewish organisations in the UK are a unique case, built on historical discomfort. Seventy-one years ago, Jews were fighting the British and the British were fighting the Jews. You think that British Jewish organisations don’t handle it well when Israel goes to war today? Can you imagine? Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the Jewish Chronicle offices, or Board of Deputies, as the British shipped Jews off to camps on Cyprus, or the Irgun attacked the British Palestine HQ.\n\nThe Jewish press, the Jewish organisations, lived through the 30 years of British diplomatic back-footing, and even the ultimate betrayal with the 1939 White Paper. They did it all whilst remaining at the very same time, loyal British subjects. Walking that tightrope is in the very DNA of our Jewish community in the UK. It is embedded into the organisational culture of our community leadership. They are an explicit product of a very difficult situation. Today they begin almost every discussion about Israel with an apology.\n\nI went to many Balfour celebrations, I hardly saw anyone from the community leadership at any of them. The only exception was the Zionist Federation (ZF). Given their mention in Balfour’s 1917 letter, it would be far harder for them to step aside. Having said that, they too must walk the diplomatic walk that is an exclusive by-product of the British Mandate.\n\nThe Diaspora community cannot expect to survive the creation of Israel without properly educating its young. Zionism without an apology.\n\nYou can be religious and not Zionist, you can be Zionist but not religious, but in a world where you keep neither religion, nor carry the blue-and-white identity bracelet, then what is left? A theoretical value-based system that has no adhesive to keep it together. Such a community has but generations before it dissipates into wider society.\n\nIsrael is a nation to be proud of. A nation that is navigating very difficult waters. It has a history we need to learn for ourselves and teach our children. A truth that supports Israel, is currently being rewritten with hate and lies. Israel is the Jewish homeland and a vital part of our identity. You are tagged – pass it on. If you want there to be a vibrant Jewish Diaspora 100 years from now, you had better start playing."

"It’s not often that I paint from anything other than my own photos, but when a friend says “Have I got a photo for you”! I stop, listen, and then look! Good friend and artist, Loel Barr gave me a snapshot of one of her favorite hometown diners from her childhood, which I couldn’t resist painting.\n\nShe shares her memories here in this wonderful portrait of Al’s Chickenette:\n\n“In the 1950’s and 60’s when I was growing up, Hays, Kansas was not exactly a diner’s paradise. The local industry was farming, and people mostly ate around their own kitchen tables. Eating out was reserved for Sunday (noontime) dinner, when churchgoers and folks from the nearby tiny towns and farms were all dressed up. Al’s Chickenette, a diner with turquoise and pink plastic and neon light decor, was for quite a while the fanciest place in town. You could get a decent burger at the bus station or the Mecca, which was frequented by the Fort Hays College students, but for dinner with all the fixin’s…mashed potatoes and gravy, delicate biscuits dripping with butter and honey, long-boiled green beans, iced tea and of course a variety of pies, Al’s was the place. It opened in 1949 and closed its doors in October 2009, a sad day for Hays. Al’s had a special secret batter and method for frying its birds and the drumsticks were crunchy, moist and tasty, gourmet fare for hungry Kansans.\n\nAfter years of absence, I returned to Hays to visit old friends, and before we drove back east I insisted on a nostalgic last meal at Al’s. I was delighted that it was still there, surprisingly unchanged. Same neon, same plastic, same grimy booths, same collection of china and stuffed chickens, maybe the same waitresses and fly spots. I ordered my old favorite, fried chicken livers, and was dismayed to discover that it seemed they were still using the same old grease. I did my best to eat the small hard greasy chunks I was served, took some photos, and bade farewell to Al’s. Despite the final disappointment, my memories of Al’s and the Sunday dinners there with my parents and aunt and uncle and cousins remain fond. When Mary Anne told me about her Vanishing Roadside project, I happily shared my picture of Al’s famous sign with her, and am thrilled with her beautiful painting which will keep Al’s alive forever. I just learned that the restaurant has been purchased and will re-open with a new owner…a happy ending after all. The sign will stay.”"

"The Australian, 24, needed nearly four-and-a-half hours to win a tense third-round match against the Russian – having led by two sets and a break. But he came through in a final-set tie-break at a boisterous Melbourne Arena.\n\n“It was definitely one of the craziest matches I’ve ever been a part of,” Kyrgios said.\n\nKyrgios leads 2-1 in his head-to-head record on hard courts against Nadal, with whom he has rarely seen eye-to-eye, although the 19-time Grand Slam champion leads 4-3 on all surfaces.\n\nThe pair, who will meet at Melbourne Park on Monday, last faced each other on grass at Wimbledon in July when Nadal won in four sets.\n\nThe world number one wrapped up a straightforward win almost seven hours earlier than Kyrgios, whose brutal contest against Khachanov lasted for four hours and 26 minutes."

"The Wenchang space base, located in Hainan province, China, is reportedly preparing to undertake a major project. The project is the construction of a supercomputing center for analyzing data obtained from outer space. Based on local media reports, the Chinese Government has prepared a disbursement of funds of 20 billion Yuan to build the supercomputer center. The plan, this supercomputer center will be built by the end of 2021 and is expected to be operational starting in 2022.\n\nLater, this supercomputing center will be used to provide large computing services in several industrial sectors, including aerospace and marine. Also read: History of computers and their development from time to time Based on reports, the Chinese government predicts that in the next few decades this supercomputing center will also be able to offer high-speed internet services. The internet service will be used for aircraft until it is used to track coal shipments quoted from Reuters, Thursday (22/4/2021).\n\nChina itself is not a new player in the supercomputing industry. The Bamboo Curtain country is known to have eight supercomputing centers spread across several regions, such as in Huangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Jinan, Tianjin, to Wuxi. According to data on the TOP500 website released in November 2020, two Chinese supercomputers are even among the top 10 fastest supercomputers in the world.\n\nThere is the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer in fourth position with a speed of 93.01 petaflops and Tianhe-2A in sixth position with a speed of 61.4 petaflops. The Tianhe-2 computer developed by the Defense Technology University, in the city of Changsa, China, is capable of making 33,860 trillion calculations per second. Tianhe-2, which means Milky Way-2, managed to beat the US Department of Energy’s Titan computer, which has been considered the fastest computer in the world. Titan has a capability of 17.59 petaflops per second or 17.590 trillion per second. As a comparison, the human brain is only able to produce 10-20 petaflops per second or half of the calculations produced by Tianhe-2.",

"A jealous young man has decided to become a nuisance to the happiness of his roommate.\n\nIn a hilarious video that looks more like a comedy skit circulating online, a young man was busily smooching a girl but his roommate was right by the bed.\n\nWell, the roommate refused to excuse the couple to allow them to have some ‘fun”. Instead, he just sat down pressing his phone while the couple smooched on the other side of the room.\n\nWatch the hilarious video below!"

"When it comes to drawing manga, you get the opportunity to take part in a broad style That offers a long tradition and many subgenres to find your expression. There are several influences, sources of inspiration, and possibilities to allow you to fully customize your character.\n\nJust as with any kind of character creation, it's important to work from an initial concept when you begin drawing. Finalizing a character concept may take numerous sketches, iterations, or even poses. Taking time to refine your character will help you to strike the right amount of style and story in your drawing. The key to character drawing is using the character's pose and personal details to tell as much on first glance as possible.",
null,
"So where do you begin with creating a manga character?\n\n1. Brainstorm Your Character and Build a Concept for Their Pose\n\nYou character brainstorming can take many forms, including finding references, inspiration, and getting to know about your character. The more you know the character the better you will be able to represent them visually. This is one reason that it can be much easier to get started with drawing fan art than drawing original characters. Those that you represent in fan art already have a story, posture, and style that you can draw from. If you intend to make an original character, you'll have to make choices about all these character traits.\n\nOnce you understand your character, you can shift to brainstorming your composition. The best way to start this is by sketching a few different wireframes for your character. This is a good time to experiment with poses, movement, and flow.\n\nYou don't want to start with details too soon. Make sure your wireframe and silhouette are how you like them. If you begin with a good shape, you can start on the right footing.\n\nOne common way to make wireframes is to create the pose using circles for major features, including the head, elbows, hands, feet, and knees. Use a square for the torso and an inverted triangle for the pelvis.\n\nYou can and should immediately take your style up a notch by visualizing this wireframe in three dimensions. This means that when you draw circles, make them low-detail spheres. Draw the pelvis as an oblong cone and make the rectangular chest more like a three-dimensional cube.\n\nTry to avoid drawing your character head-on from the front. Instead, start by drawing them in a three-quarter view. This will make it easier to express dimensionality and dynamics.\n\nPick your favorite of the wireframe sketches and begin correcting the proportions. In this step, you will be tweaking the shape and dimensions of the shapes used to represent body parts. If you don't know what shape certain body parts should be, don't hesitate to find a photo for reference.\n\nKeep in mind that using certain primitive shapes in this initial sketch symbolically portray aspect of your character. For example, a character with a square-shaped head will offer a different tone than a character with a round or triangular head.\n\nManga characters tend to blend proportions, depending on the manga style you're hoping to achieve. For example, many manga styles represent characters with elongated legs when compared to human anatomy.\n\n4. Outline the Shapes to Create a Skin Layer\n\nFor most manga art, clean outlines are very important. It's a good idea now to create an outline that makes your skin layer. This is not your final outline or final detail layer. It is there for reference to summarize all the work and anatomy that you have created so far.\n\nThe skin layer will clean up your sketch and give you a basic shape on which to draw details in the next steps. Try as much as you can to preserve the three-dimensional look that you created in the wireframe.\n\nIn manga, the basic face is drawn using a sphere attached to a cone. One-third from the bottom of the sphere, draw a line that curves around its front. This will be your eye line.\n\nTo indicate where the eyes will go, draw a line of symmetry that curves vertically down the front of the face. Remember that in most cases this will not be in the direct center of your face sphere. If you're drawing from a three-quarter view, this line will be located closer to one side. Using the horizontal line, draw a circle on either side of the symmetry line.\n\nRemember that manga eyes tend to be disproportionately large. Lightly detail the eye shape, since these are an important part of creating your character. Eyes that droop slightly down to the outside will appear to be more kind, and eyes that pull at the inner corners will appear more aggressive.\n\nNext, draw a small circle at the bottom of the sphere, where it intersects with the cone. This circle indicates where the bottom of the nose should go. In most manga art, unless the character is designed to have a distinctive nose, the shape of the nose will be minimal, using a single curve or line.\n\nDraw in the shape of the hair. For manga art this can be larger than life, to make your character as dynamic as possible. Remember that the hair shape should appear to have movement like the rest of the character. Additionally, you can use the hair to add direction.\n\n7. Tidy Your Outlines and Ink Your Drawing\n\nCreate a very clean inking layer of your new outlines, the clothes, and the showing skin. Fine line details, such as major folds in the clothing, major facial details, and patterns. Anything in the foreground of the image should have a slightly thicker outline than those in the background. Similarly, use line width to draw the eye to the most important parts of the image. While you want to keep this final outline clean, make sure not to exclude any of the important details.\n\nYou can now paint or shade the image in black and white. As you indicate shading, make a note for yourself about where the light source is located. Try to keep the shading realistic, so that your drawing comes off as more believable. It can be helpful to use a photo reference for shading if you have trouble visualizing where the light and shadows will hit. If you are working in color, avoid using black for shading. Instead, use a deeper version of the way that the color looks in the light.\n\n9. Now You Can Focus on Specific Details\n\nManga art style contrasts areas of minimalistic detail with areas of high detail. In most cases, the face and skin will be more minimalistic allowing all the detail to be focused on the eyes.\n\nFor your character, pick the areas of concentrated detail that will best represent their story. This will help to make your character as expressive as possible.",

"Sharjah, Oct 26 (IANS) Former New Zealand cricketer Ian Smith is predicting a fiery clash between the Black Caps and Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup ‘Super 12’ game later on Tuesday at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium after the events of the last month.\n\nA lot of former Pakistani players have said that the Babar Azam-led side will be “extra motivated” when it takes on New Zealand after the Black Caps cancelled their white-ball tour hours before the opening ODI in Rawalpindi last month and flew out citing “security issues”.\n\nThe 64-year-old Smith, who played 63 Tests and close to a 100 ODIs for New Zealand, told New Zealand to expect a “fierce contes”, after Pakistan’s 10-wicket demolition of a star-studded Indian side in their ‘Super 12’ opening game on October 24.\n\n“It will have feeling, and certainly meaning… there will be very, very few pleasantries I promise you that, and maybe, neither there should be,” Smith told SENZ Mornings.\n\n“The bear is angry, the bear feels let down, the bear is playing very well,” added Smith, indicating that a hurting Pakistan side will come hard at the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand.\n\nIn fact, Pakistan woman cricketer Sana Mir too said in her column for the International Cricket Council that her country will be “extra motivated” when it takes on New Zealand.\n\n“Next up, Pakistan play New Zealand and I think it’s going to be a very exciting game. Most of the time we have no history with New Zealand but after the (limited-overs) series was cancelled last month, I think the boys will be extra motivated to perform well,” Mir wrote in her column for the ICC."

"I sometimes envy other restaurant reviewers. Michelin has its stars, the AA has its rosettes, even the much-maligned TripAdvisor has its Certificates Of Excellence. And what do I have? Just a bunch of ratings nobody really understands which I’ve consistently refused to explain (“What do they mean?” said a friend of mine down the pub recently. “I mean, seven point five, what’s all that about?”). Well let’s not go through all that again but there’s one exception, and that’s what I call the 8+ Club: without giving too many trade secrets away, a rating in that range means a place is really, really good. Go again good, plan your next visit good, evangelise to friends good.\n\nSometimes, when I eat out on duty I find myself mulling over what elevates a restaurant or a café into that select few, and as you can see if you’ve scrolled down to the bottom already (and own up, lots of you do) that was very much on my mind when I visited Royal Tandoori. Almost, but not quite. Right on the edge. I changed my mind several times during the meal, although that in itself never bodes quite well enough. So what went wrong? Why is Royal Tandoori just very good, rather than great?\n\nFor the uninitiated, it sits downstairs in the slightly ironically named “Quality Hotel” (I suppose it doesn’t specify whether it’s good quality or bad quality) and – as proudly proclaimed on the the menu – has done since 2008. It’s in town but not quite in town and yet it always looks full on the occasions when I pass by – in fact I was lucky to get a table, judging by the number of big groups that were in (on a school night, too) and the amount of hushed staff discussion that went on before they decided they could seat me. It’s a large, long room and I think they’ve spruced it up since I was there last: I may be imagining new windows, but I’m pretty sure the large black and white Bollywood stills papered onto the walls – which I rather liked – weren’t there before. The menu, though, was every bit as huge and bewildering as I remembered.\n\nThe starters were pretty darned good. Gobi Manchurian, a dish I’ve had elsewhere in Reading, was miles better here, little nuggets of battered cauliflower in something almost like an Indian barbecue sauce – sweet, sticky and spiced. It tasted so terrific that I found myself not caring that the cauliflower was ever so slightly soft and that the batter had no crunch. The best dishes can make you suspend your disbelief like that, and the only real drawback was how much I resented having to share. Jeera chicken was also top notch. It was very tender pieces of chicken breast in a spiced sauce – so far so blah – but covered in cumin seeds, somewhere halfway between a speckle and a crust. How I loved this: I adore cumin, and eating a mouthful with the sauce piled high and the pungent crunch of those seeds made me go quiet and nod an awful lot.",
null,
"I was quite enjoying drifting in a cumin-infused daydream, but sadly my reverie was interrupted far too soon by the arrival of the main courses. I’d had reports of the chicken chettinadu (like nothing else in Reading, according to one reader – hi Chris!), so I felt it would have been remiss not to order it. Well, it goes to show how little help photographs are when you’re reviewing this kind of food. Like one of the other starters and the other main, it was just meat in an orangey-red sauce (and yes, I know I always say this) but the flavour was indeed complex and unusual, all black pepper and curry leaves, nigella seeds and a sharp hint of citrus which came from I know not where. It also had that clever heat which sneaks up on you rather than beating you about the tastebuds – 3 out of 4 on the International Scale Of Chillies (or ISOC for short) used by many Indian and Thai restaurants, although the only thing with an ISOC rating of four was “devil lamb”, which sounds like something you might see on a terrifying cross between Springwatch and Most Haunted.\n\nI do like a dish that’s interesting, and this fitted the bill perfectly. The first mouthful established that it tasted different. The second mouthful established that I wasn’t entirely sure how. For all the other mouthfuls I was fed up of analysing and too busy enjoying. But it wasn’t perfect, for all that – mainly because there wasn’t an awful lot of meat. The big bowl of sauce I was left with was good for dipping and pouring, but it still felt a tad unbalanced.\n\nThe other main, lamb Hydrabadi (ISOC2 – handy!) was just as good. Despite looking very similar, it couldn’t have been more different. The lamb – and there was loads of it – was rich, intense and cooked beyond the point of having any give at all: if it had had any less integrity it could have been the subject of an OK! magazine photoshoot. But the sauce was what made this dish – smooth and spicy but shot through with the sharp green surprise of mint leaves. I know lamb and mint is a classic combination, but seeing it in this context was incongruous and comforting at the same time, and I loved that slightly altered perspective. Neither main had much – or, to be more accurate, anything – in the way of vegetables, but it was hard to care (sorry vegetarians, I’ll be back doing meat-free mains again very soon).",
null,
"The plain rice on the side was exactly that – although it was a bit clumpy, which made me wonder quite how it had been cooked and when. The butter naan though was interesting in that it wasn’t the big pillowy bicycle saddle of a naan that I’m used to. Instead it was light, thin, almost pizza-like. I really liked it, although I did find that with that and the rice there was sauce left at the end which I couldn’t scoop or mop. Who ever finishes a meal in an Indian restaurant and says “that was nice but I could have done with some more carbs?”. Me at the Royal Tandoori, it turns out.\n\nWe did manage to find space (and eventually manage to find some staff to order with) for dessert – and dessert, for me anyway, meant gulab jamun. The texture and the flavour were perfect, the sugar syrup had a clear note of rose water and there were a few chips of pistachio in the bowl too which I appreciated (I am starting to become a connoisseur, I reckon). But there was one drawback: the kitchen didn’t seem to be able to decide whether to serve them hot or cold and so they were neither, coming instead at a slightly jarring off-room temperature. Mango lassi (ordered as an alternative to dessert by my companion) was very good – normally the smoothness would be off-putting but apparently it was silky, sweet and delicious. Almost like caramel, I was enthusiastically told.\n\nIt wasn’t a Cobra kind of evening so we tried a couple of the red wines by the glass – a merlot and a shiraz. They were pleasant enough to drink but not nice enough to remember, which is as much as I was hoping for. The total bill, for three courses and a glass of wine each, came to fifty pounds not including tip. Service was friendly when they were there, but only when they were there. When they weren’t it seemed impossible to attract anybody’s attention and the overall atmosphere was oddly downbeat (maybe they were huge Wogan fans).\n\nBy any standards, Royal Tandoori is a good restaurant. Everything I had tasted good, everything I had tasted distinctive and some of what I had tasted quite unlike anything else I’ve had. Not only that, but I can see where it would win out over other Indian restaurants in town – more consistent than Pappadams, more central than Bhoj, maybe slightly less chaotic (and better with big groups) than House Of Flavours. More than any of those places I could see myself going there with a gang of work colleagues, all ordering different things and having a lovely time. But it doesn’t quite cross the line into great – the service was just a little too patchy, the food a little too rushed, the dishes just a little lacking in balance. But really, this score malarkey: who cares? Very good is plenty good enough most of the time. You’ll read this review, irrespective of the number at the bottom, and you’ll either want to go there or you won’t. Which is exactly how it should be."

"Lucknow: Before the assembly elections to be held in Uttar Pradesh (UP Chunav), the talk between Akhilesh Yadav and Chandrashekhar Azad worsened. Now there will be no alliance between Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party and Chandrashekhar Azad’s Azad Samaj Party. Bhim Army Chief Chandrashekhar announced in a press conference on Saturday that his Azad Samaj Party would fight alone in the upcoming assembly elections. Describing Akhilesh Yadav as anti-Dalit, he said that the SP chief himself does not want an alliance. He said, ‘We have decided that we are not going in alliance with Samajwadi Party. We have fought ourselves on the streets. We believe that the interests of Dalits have to be protected ourselves.\n\nChandrashekhar Azad said in a press conference today that I have had a lot of meetings with Akhilesh Yadav in the last 6 months. Meanwhile, positive things also happened but in the end I felt that Akhilesh Yadav does not need Dalits. He does not want Dalit leaders in this alliance. He wants Dalits to vote for him. My fear is that if the Dalits vote, then after the formation of the government, we will not be able to talk on our subjects. Bhim Army Chief Chandrashekhar Azad accused Akhilesh Yadav of insulting him. Chandrashekhar said that he humiliated the people of Bahujan Samaj, I tried for 1 month 3 days but the alliance could not happen.\n\nAzad said that I compromised my self-respect to stop the BJP, but our workers also did not want to. They want to fight for their own interests. My job is to unite the divided opposition. It is a matter of share as much as our number, so is our share. We will fight the elections on our own. There is scattered opposition, will try to collect it, I first tried with sister ji and then talked to brother ji but he doesn’t want to. I told him that you are our elder brother. I told him that you are elder brother, you should decide but he did not call me. After coming yesterday, I had fixed the responsibility on Akhilesh Yadav ji, you should decide. It is not about the seat, it is about protecting our interests. We have decided that we are not going in alliance with Samajwadi Party.\n\nHow many MLAs of BJP have been broken so far?\nSo far, 14 MLAs have resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party in Uttar Pradesh, out of which three are ministers of the Yogi cabinet. Many of these leaders, including Swamy, have joined the SP and many are still waiting to ride a cycle. Elections will be held in 7 phases in UP and it will start with voting in 58 seats in 11 districts of the western part of the state on February 10. In the second phase, on February 14, voting will be held in 55 seats of the state.\n\nUP election schedule\nLet us inform that the voting for 403 assembly seats of Uttar Pradesh in seven phases will start from February 10. In Uttar Pradesh, polling will be held in other phases on 14, 20, 23, 27 February, 3 and 7 March. At the same time, the results of UP elections will come on March 10. In the 2017 elections, the BJP had won 325 out of 403 seats here. SP and Congress fought elections together. SP won 47 seats and Congress 7 seats. Mayawati’s BSP was successful in winning 19 seats. While 4 seats were occupied by others.\n\nKeep these things in mind before buying cosmetic products for yourself",

"A federal grand jury on Wednesday handed down an indictment of a Johns Hopkins anesthesiologist and her spouse, a doctor and major in the U.S. Army, with conspiracy and for the disclosure of individually identifiable health information related to their efforts to assist Russia in connection with the conflict in Ukraine.\n\nThe office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland in a press release stated Anna Gabrielian, 36, and her spouse, Jamie Lee Henry, 39, both of Rockville, Md., both of whom had secret clearances, were attempting to provide medical information about members of the military to the Russian government.\n\nGabrielian and Henry met with an individual they believed to be associated with the Russian government, but who was, in fact, an Federal Bureau of Investigation Undercover Agent.\n\nCourt documents indicate Gabrielian told the FBI agent posing as a Russian operative that she had previously reached out to the Russian Embassy by email and phone, offering Russia her and her spouses’ assistance.\n\nIn the narrative released by the U.S. Attorney’s office, on Aug. 17, 2022, Gabrielian met with the FBI at a hotel in Baltimore. During that meeting, Gabrielian told the FBI she was motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail.\n\nShe proposed potential cover stories for her meeting with the “Russians” and stressed the need for “plausible deniability” in the event she was confronted by American authorities. Gabrielian also told the FBI that, as a military officer, Henry was currently a more important source for Russia than she was, because they had more helpful information, including how the U.S. military establishes an army hospital in war conditions and information about previous training provided by the U.S. military to Ukrainian military personnel.\n\nHenry received public attention in 2015 after becoming the first known active-duty Army officer to come out as trans.\n\nHenry was at one point a member of SPARTA, the nation’s largest nonprofit representing actively-serving trans U.S. servicemembers. A spokesperson for SPARTA, in an emailed statement commenting on the announcement of the arrest and indictment of Henry and their spouse told the Washington Blade:\n\n“Transgender people are as diverse as the societies to which they belong. One’s gender identity neither increases nor decreases a propensity towards alleged criminal activity.”\n\nAs stated in the indictment, Gabrielian is an anesthesiologist and worked at Medical Institution 1 in Baltimore.\n\nHenry, a major in the U.S. Army who held a secret-level security clearance, is Gabrielian’s spouse and a doctor. During the time of the alleged conspiracy, Henry worked as a staff internist stationed at Fort Bragg, the home of the Army’s XVIII Airborne Corps, headquarters of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command and the Womack Army Medical Center.\n\n“SPARTA, a non-profit advocacy organization representing transgender Service members in the United States, is saddened to learn of the arrest and indictment of Jamie Lee Henry, an officer in the U.S. Army and a medical doctor.\n\nSPARTA has long advocated for the inclusion and total equity for transgender persons throughout the United States uniformed services. Today, thousands are serving honorably and authentically at home stations worldwide.\n\nThe actions alleged in the indictment do not reflect Henry’s identity as transgender. Their alleged actions are those of an individual and should not be taken as a representation of transgender people broadly or transgender members of the military specifically.\n\nAll people in the United States are entitled to the same rights, including due process and the presumption of innocence in this case. SPARTA does not condone any actions alleged in the indictment and expects the process to play out fairly and equitably as it would for anyone accused of a crime.”"

"The final frontier. These are the voyages… OK, not that kind of space! Photographing real estate can present many challenges, two of the most difficult being how to get a good shot in both very limited space, and how to create interest in an area that has ‘too much’ open space. The photo above is a good example of the latter, which we overcame by getting just the right angle. This allowed us to use the dividing wall as a ‘block’ between open areas, while also a nice color contrast with the foreground objects, and enhancing the perspective of the room behind.\n\nIn this next photo, most amateur photographers would probably stand in the doorway to take the shot, with the result being the appearance of a small room filled with two beds and two desks. By reversing the angle, and opening the door to include the entire length of the hallway, we create a much nicer atmosphere — not necessarily the illusion of space, but we remove the feeling of being cramped or stifled."

"Possession of a Controlled Substance Lawyer\n\nDrug laws in Texas are often harsh. There are many reasons, including this state’s proximity to several foreign countries that are points of origin for drug manufacturing and delivery. Sentencing for Texas drug crimes can be complicated because it takes a number of factors into consideration. Houston criminal attorneys are familiar with the laws of the possession of a controlled substance in Houston and do their best to make sure that people who are convicted of a drug crime in Texas are not unjustly punished.\n\nIf you are arrested and charged with a crime involving drugs, it is natural to feel intimidated and overwhelmed. It is easy to lose hope in your future. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The criminal justice system isn’t set up to merely ensure that criminals are punished. It is made to provide a great number of rights to people accused of drug possession and delivery charges. Among the most important rights are the presumption of innocence and the burden of the prosecutor to prove any criminal case beyond a reasonable doubt. An accused also has valuable Constitutional rights that protect against unlawful police stops, illegal police searches, illegal questioning, coerced confessions and so forth. The best criminal defense attorneys in Houston, TX and elsewhere can use all of your legal rights in the justice system to protect you from the lasting consequences of a drug conviction.\n\nWhen do you need a Houston drug lawyer or controlled substance possession lawyer?\n\nTexas criminal law classifies drug offenses into four “penalty groups” encompassing the least harmful substances up to addictive drugs and substances that are considered most dangerous. For example, a Penalty Group I conviction for cocaine possession or manufacturing/delivery may carry a severe penalty, including a heavy fine and a lengthy prison sentence. If you are facing charges for cocaine possession or delivery (or marijuana or illegal prescription drug possession or delivery), it is in your best interest to hire a professional Houston drug possession (or possession of controlled substance), attorney. He will scrutinize the way the police collected and handled evidence and look for any mistakes they may have made, including issues relating to vehicle stops, home or vehicle searches, warrants, consents to search, custodial interrogations (i.e., questioning without Miranda Warnings) and more.\n\nNeeding a Houston drug defense attorney for charges of drug distribution or manufacturing/delivery of controlled substance or drug.\n\nBeing arrested or charged with controlled substance – or drug distribution (a.k.a. manufacturing or delivery) is usually a felony and a much more serious matter than ordinary controlled substance or drug possession. The very first words you speak in this situation should be to your Houston drug lawyer. Texas laws seek to severely punish those who distribute drugs. This applies to all illicit substances, including not only the obvious ones — heroin, cocaine, and marijuana — but also prescription drugs like painkillers, tranquilizers and sedatives. (Some of the more popular prescription medications for which people are arrested include Oxycodone, OxyContin, Vicodin, Valium, and Xanax.) Sentencing in these cases can be very complicated and influenced by factors such as:\n\n· Where the distribution occurred, for example, in or near a school\n\nThe type of drug involved is one consideration. Under the Texas Controlled Substances Act (“Act”), there are five penalty groups, of which Group 1 is generally the most serious. Under the Act, the drugs within each category are very clearly spelled out according to the different chemical forms of each substance. Someone defending you against a charge of possession of a controlled substance Houston should be familiar with all of the names and forms of the substances in each of these five groups.\n\nPenalty Groups 1 and 1-A\n\nOffenses concerning this group form the major part of the workload of Houston criminal defense attorneys who work with people charged with possession of a controlled substance Houston. Opiates fall into this group. Also, in Group 1 are opium derivatives, opium poppy or poppy straw, cocaine, Flunitrazepam (aka Rohypnol or “Date Rape Drug”), methamphetamine, phencyclidine, Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and ketamine.\n\nLysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is in a subgroup of its own.\n\nThis group includes hallucinogens other than LSD. This group includes mescaline, Ibogaine, psilocybin, tetrahydrocannabinols apart from marihuana (the Texas spelling of marijuana), ephedrine and dozens of other related substances. A savvy Criminal attorney Houston TX might be expected to have a working knowledge of these.\n\nThis group includes CNS stimulants and depressants, barbiturates, peyote, narcotics, benzodiazepines and anabolic steroids. If you are charged with possession of a controlled substance Houston, your attorney would be meticulous in making sure you are not charged incorrectly for possessing a drug in a higher class.\n\nThis is the least dangerous among the four groups and includes preparations containing small amounts of opium, codeine, dihydrocodeine, atropine or difenoxin.\n\nPenalties range from fines as high as a quarter of a million dollars and sentences of up to 99 years imprisonment. Distribution charges may be filed in federal or Texas state courts. The best Houston drug lawyers understand what is at stake and will fiercely seek the best possible result. The top Houston drug possession lawyers will continually remind you that you are innocent until proven guilty. They will relentlessly push for a dismissal of your case whenever possible.\n\nConsiderations other than the class of drug:\n\nPrison sentences and/or fines for drug possession will also vary with the amount of drug in possession. Those for larger quantities of a drug will be correspondingly higher. A canny lawyer representing you on a charge of possession of a controlled substance Houston would want to know whether or not the amount of drug is accurately measured and documented",
null,
"The purpose for which the substance was used is sometimes taken into account when sentencing someone for possession of controlled substances in Houston. Manufacturing, delivering and possession with intent to distribute carry higher sentences than simple possession. Good criminal attorneys might find a way to challenge the prosecution’s case on this point.\n\nThe location where the violation took place is sometimes criterion used in determining to sentence for drug possession crimes. Penalties are often higher for offenses committed at or near a school or daycare center. A Houston criminal attorney will be as knowledgeable about these crimes as he is the drug offense.\n\nAnother factor that contributes to the severity of a sentence for a drug crime is whether the offense was committed at the same time as a different type of violation, such as conspiracy, theft or assault. Drug crimes are penalized more severely if they are related to a serious felony involving violence, for example. If you are charged with a combination of crimes, your lawyer would carefully scrutinize the prosecutor’s case on these counts and look for possible ways of challenging it.\n\nWhether your Houston criminal defense attorney is a public defender or in private practice, there are certain common tasks he would consider performing, in order to increase the odds that you receive the justice to which you are entitled. These include:\n\n Researching case law\n Investigating the case and interviewing witnesses\n Drafting, filing and arguing motions to either dismiss or suppress\n Negotiate with prosecutors to have the charge reduced to a lesser crime\n Represent the defendant in court\n\nThe manufacture or cultivation of drugs is in violation of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. Traditionally, this referred mainly to the growing of marijuana plants or cooking of methamphetamine from a cocktail of easily obtainable ingredients. Houston criminal lawyers are currently witnessing a growing number of people being arrested for the manufacture of synthetic marijuana and other chemicals that are allegedly developed to mimic the effects of mind-altering substances.\n\nThe Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and state police agencies are cracking down on alleged manufacturers of synthetic drugs and in May 2014 conducted raids in 29 states. More than 200 search warrants were executed in an operation that resulted in the seizure of more than $20 million in cash and assets. More than 150 people were arrested. Texas was among the 29 states targeted in the series of raids. Those arrested would be well-served to find the best Houston defense attorneys available.\n\nDrug Paraphernalia – What is It?\n\nFew people are as familiar with the complete list of “drug paraphernalia” as a Houston drug possession attorney. There are some strange-seeming items on the list. Pipes, bongs, and freebase kits are popular items, but a Houston drug crime attorney would be aware of other, less obvious items, such as fake cell phones, digital scales, pens with the ink cartridge removed, fluorescent lights and certain types of fertilizer may also be considered drug paraphernalia under certain circumstances.",
null,
"Some of the above items, and others are purchased legally but are illegally used. It is unlikely that a hapless gardener would be arrested and charged for possession of drug paraphernalia simply on the basis of buying a bag of fertilizer, but if he were, a Houston drug possession lawyer would be his logical first phone call!\n\nAt Scheiner Law, P.C., we have Houston drug attorneys with experience on the other side. José Ceja formerly worked as a felony drug prosecutor in the state of Arizona. He is familiar with the types of mistakes law enforcement officers often make during an arrest and he knows the various traps that some prosecutors will set in order to obtain a conviction. Mr. Ceja and Board-certified criminal law specialist Grant Scheiner are the Houston drug lawyers you want on your side."

"If you struggle with poor focus, mental fatigue, or confusion, brain fog may be the culprit. Though not a medically recognized condition, brain fog is a common complaint. Brain fog often happens in older people but can affect people of any age. Generally speaking, brain fog is a dysfunction in your ability to focus, learn, and remember.\n\nIf you have brain fog, natural remedies can clear the mist, so to speak. When you engage in lifestyle changes — diet, exercise, sleep, and nutritional supplements — you can improve your mental clarity and energy.\n\nWhat Is Brain Fog?\n\nBrain fog is a general term for mild to moderate difficulty with focus, concentration, memory, and other cognitive functions. Brain fog can present in different ways, many of which are subjective and self-reported.[1] You may experience mental fatigue, have difficulty finding the right words to express yourself, or feel slow, spaced-out, or forgetful. You might get easily distracted from daily tasks, have difficulty following conversations, or have poor concentration, mental clarity, and memory. Because brain fog is not a medical disorder, you may recognize it when you realize that you have a “cluster” of these symptoms.\n\nIf you have brain fog, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms.\n\nThe Top 7 Causes of Brain Fog\n\nHormonal changes, side effects from medications, and normal aging all contribute to the symptoms of brain fog. Here are the top seven causes.\n\nMental stress causes your body to produce excessive levels of the hormone cortisol. Stress also suppresses your immune system and stimulates your adrenal system, which regulates your body’s production of hormones. Together, these issues impair working memory, concentration, motivation, and other physiological changes that lead to brain fog.[2]\n\nWhat you put in your body affects how efficiently your brain works. A diet full of high-fat or sugary foods can impair memory and other brain activities.[3] Many low-fat processed foods advertised as “good for you” are not: they contain chemical preservatives, MSG, and excess sodium, and are generally bad for your brain.\n\nFor peak mental performance, your diet should contain a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, as well as the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you need. A deficiency of any essential nutrient may cause brain fog. Make sure you drink plenty of water and avoid dehydration, which causes headaches and reduces mental focus.\n\nFood allergies — particularly with wheat gluten or dairy — may worsen brain fog. As one scientist puts it, “gluten sensitivity can be primarily, and at times, exclusively, a neurological disease.” Scientists have shown a clear link between the gut and the brain. Celiac disease, a condition caused when someone sensitive to gluten continues consuming it, causes inflammation in the digestive system that, in turn, influences balance, concentration, and memory.[4] Likewise, consuming dairy when you have lactose intolerance or an allergy impacts the central nervous system and can cause brain fog.\n\nMany commonly prescribed and over-the-counter medications may reduce your mental clarity. Benzodiazepines (a class of drugs prescribed to treat anxiety), opiate pain medications, and prescription and non-prescription sleep aids may exacerbate brain fog. Some medications can interact with each other, or even with over-the-counter products and nutritional supplements, amplifying their effects and affecting mental clarity.\n\nCertain medical conditions may impair cognition. For example, Type 2 diabetes not only affects mental focus due to changes in blood glucose levels, but it also may come with emotional challenges like depression.[5] Similarly, low thyroid function and Hashimoto’s disease cause brain fog symptoms including fatigue and memory lapse. Depression, anemia, high blood pressure, and autoimmune disorders like lupus or multiple sclerosis are other health conditions linked to brain fog. Although not a medical condition, addiction to nicotine caused by smoking or other tobacco products may also contribute to brain fog, especially during withdrawals.\n\nIn a 2013 study, the top two causes people attributed their brain fog to were physical fatigue and sleep deprivation.[6] A review of decades of research on the topic found that poor sleep quality is often associated with cognitive decline in middle-aged adults, so make sure to get your beauty rest.[7] According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults need at least seven to nine hours of sleep per night.[8] Sleeping is extremely important; not only does it boost your energy levels and mental clarity, but also ensures the proper functioning of all your body systems.\n\nYour body undergoes hormonal changes at certain points in life. Women going through menopause, the time of life when periods cease, might experience brain fog or related symptoms. The most common age-related brain fog symptoms include trouble focusing, fatigue, and difficulty falling asleep.[9] Besides the hormonal changes associated with menopause, both men and women experience an age-related mental decline that can manifest as brain fog.\n\nHow to Naturally Get Rid of Brain Fog\n\nYou can find relief from brain fog with healthy habits that support your body and brain.\n\nInhaling even a molecule of an aromatic essential oil sends a message directly to your brain, which makes it an easy way to reduce brain fog symptoms. Frankincense, for example, helped improve memory and other cognitive functions in rats who have a disorder similar to Alzheimer’s disease.[10] Lavender, peppermint, and chamomile essential oils can relax and calm the mind and body, helping you get restorative sleep. One study found that vetiver oil had properties that stimulated alert wakefulness, which “might be beneficial for learning and memory processes.”[11]\n\nAdd a drop of lavender essential oil in your hands and rub them together, then cup your hands over your nose and take five deep breaths.\n\nAn estimated 35 percent of American adults get less than seven to nine hours of sleep per night, the recommended amount. This lack of sleep leaves people fatigued and less productive and focused.[12]According to the CDC, “Getting enough sleep is not a luxury — it is something people need for good health.”[13] Practice healthy sleep hygiene habits like maintaining a consistent and relaxing bedtime routine, limiting daytime naps to 30 minutes, and holding off on eating rich, fatty foods or consuming caffeine close to bedtime.[14] For more ideas, check out our natural sleep remedies article.\n\nChoose “healthy fats” that come from nuts, seeds, and vegetables — olive oil, avocado oil, and walnut oil. These contain omega-3 fatty acids, which play a critical role in brain health. Dietary fats play a role in the blood-brain barrier (which selectively keeps chemicals from penetrating the brain) and in maintaining healthy blood cholesterol levels.[15] Avoid animal-based saturated fats from red meat and high-fat dairy; one study found that people eating the highest amounts of these bad fats experienced the worst memory and cognition problems over time.[16] The exception to this rule is coconut oil, a saturated fat that — in contrast to animal-based options — actually lowers bad cholesterol in your blood.[17]\n\nAntioxidants positively impact memory and other cognitive functions.[18] An antioxidant counteracts the harmful effects of free radicals, which otherwise will go around cells causing damage. By counteracting those, antioxidants are the superheroes of your body. They’re readily available in dark green leafy vegetables, brightly colored fruits and berries, and herbs and spices like turmeric and cayenne pepper. There’s even good news for chocolate lovers — cocoa contains antioxidants called flavanols that improve circulation and may preserve cognitive abilities.[19] Balance out your diet with healthy carbohydrates and proteins for optimal brain health.\n\nIn addition to protecting you from weight gain, exercise stimulates your body to release hormones that improve brain health, particularly in the areas of mood and energy. A beneficial exercise routine doesn’t take long to establish. When people spent just four weeks on a fitness program that combined aerobic exercise, strength training, and stretching, they experienced improved memory, attention, and mental processing speed.[20] Move your body in healthy ways. Simply spending time outdoors boosts cognitive development in kids and helps adults as well.[21]\n\nWhile it’s always best to get your nutrition from your food, sometimes you need an extra boost of one nutrient or another. Several nutritional supplements support brain health, including these six.\n\nOne study found that over a period of 18 months, omega-3 fatty acids slowed mental decline in healthy elderly adults, improving brain fog symptoms like working memory and information retrieval.[22] Because these fats occur naturally in fish and other seafood, fish oil supplements are popular; however, fish oil supplements may have high levels of mercury and other contaminants, and the harvesting methods for these fish are often environmentally unsustainable. We recommend getting your omega-3 fatty acids from plant-based foods or supplements, such as flaxseed oil or algae oil.\n\nScientists have connected magnesium deficiency with a number of brain disorders. Magnesium plays a role in general brain health for everyone, including helping your neurons (nerve cells) “fire” — transmitting messages to the body and creating thoughts. Taking magnesium may protect cognitive function and memory, reducing brain fog.[23]\n\nThe natural fatty acids found in maca root (Lepidium meyenii) can help preserve overall brain health. Mice fed a diet that including maca root experienced heightened memory and other cognitive abilities.[24] Specifically, the study found that maca root boosted the activity of cellular mitochondria, the organelle inside each cell that provides energy. Past studies had also found maca encouraged a balanced mood and even increased vigor and energy levels.[24]\n\nMuddled thinking and forgetfulness may indicate you have low B-12 levels, an essential vitamin. Some studies even show that vitamin B-12 supplements can slow age-related brain decline, especially in people who are deficient. Since vitamin B-12 occurs mainly in animal-based foods, those who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, or those who do not eat very much meat, may require a B-12 supplement.[25]\n\nAn herb used in many Ayurvedic remedies and one of the top herbs for mental health, studies have found Bacopa monnieri counteracts brain fog symptoms like short attention span, poor focus, and short-term memory.[26] Also called water hyssop or Brahmi (not to be confused with gotu kola which is also sometimes called Brahmi), bacopa appears to normalize cortisol in the body, which reduces stress, and may help your brain fog.[27] Bacopa also reduces stress which makes it an adaptogen — a substance that helps the body adapt to stress.\n\nBrain fog is not a recognized medical condition, but it is a common issue for many people and includes symptoms like mental fatigue, poor memory, and lack of focus. A variety of issues may cause brain fog, but the top six causes are stress, poor diet, medications, health conditions, inadequate sleep, and age-related hormonal changes.\n\nThere are several natural strategies for reducing brain fog. Start by eating a healthy diet including many antioxidant-rich organic fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds and avoid fried, processed, and animal-based foods. Exercise more, get more sleep, and try essential oils like peppermint. Herbal supplements like bacopa and Mucuna pruriens may also help you clear the fog, lending greater clarity to your thoughts.\n\nHow do you clear brain fog from your mind?

"Health expenditures in the United States neared $2.6 trillion in 2010, over ten times the $256 billion spent in 1980.[1] The rate of growth in recent years has slowed relative to the late 1990s and early 2000s, but is still expected to grow faster than national income over the foreseeable future.[2] Addressing this growing burden continues to be a major policy priority. Furthermore, the United States has been in a recession for much of the past decade, resulting in higher unemployment and lower incomes for many Americans. These conditions have put even more attention on health spending and affordability. [1]\n\nSince 2002, employer-sponsored health coverage for family premiums have increased by 97%, placing increasing cost burdens on employers and workers. [3] In the public sector, Medicare covers the elderly and people with disabilities, and Medicaid provides coverage to low-income families. Enrollment has grown in Medicare with the aging of the baby boomers and in Medicaid due to the recession.[1], [4] This means that total government spending has increased considerably, straining federal and state budgets. In total, health spending accounted for 17.9% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2010. [5]\n\nHow is the U.S. health care dollar spent?\n\nHospital care and physician/clinical services combined account for half (51%) of the nation’s health expenditures.National Health Expenditures, 2010\n\nWhat is driving health care spending?\n\nWhile there is broad agreement that the rise in costs must be controlled, there is disagreement over the driving factors. Some of the major factors that have been discussed in cost growth are:\n\nThe nation’s efforts to control health care costs have not had much long-term effect [9], prompting a debate over what proposals are actually able to reduce costs for the long-term. Approaches are largely divided by debate over a stronger role for government regulation or market-based models that encourage greater competition. Costs emerged as a central element of the national health reform debate that ensued before the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Major ACA measures aimed at cost containment include[10]:\n\nOther proposals and practices directed at controlling costs exist, such as support for wider use of health IT in the delivery system, increasing consumer out of pocket costs, improving health efficiency and quality of care, reforming the tax treatment of health insurance, and a single payer plan. As the nation struggles with a faltering economy, health care costs will surely continue to be at the forefront of policy debates."

"Between 1930 and 1941, The Mountaineers sponsored Patrol Races, a back-country event described as 18 or 20 miles long on the crest of the Cascades between its Snoqualmie Pass Lodge and Meany Ski Hut at Martin near Stampede Pass. Three-man Patrol teams competed in what the Seattle Times called “the nation’s longest and hardest race.” The race was based on military patrol races common in Europe, used to train three-man units who carried equipment such as a machine gun and ammunition that had to be assembled to be operable.\n\nThe Mountaineers organization was founded in 1906. In 1914, the club built a lodge two miles west of Snoqualmie Summit, 1/4 mile SW of Lodge Lake at 3,200 feet elevation, 500 feet above Rockdale, a stop on the Milwaukee Railroad at the western end of its tunnel under the Pass. In the winter, the lodge was a “1 2/3-mile struggle over snow-covered trails” from Rockdale station. It could also be reached from Denny Creek by a steep 1 1/4 mile climb from the old ranger station, or a 40 minute walk on a one-mile-long “fine ski trail” from the Sunset Highway (the predecessor to I-90). It was a year-around lodge, accommodating 70 people, used for climbing in summer and skiing in winter. By winter 1927, skiing had become so popular that the lodge “was bursting with skiers throughout the winter and more facilities were needed.”",
null,
"In 1928, The Mountaineers built a new facility near Northern Pacific Railroad’s Martin stop at the east end of its Stampede Pass tunnel. For many years, Martin attracted skiers because of the abundance of snow and the quality of nearby slopes. Skiers could take trains to Martin and stay in bunk cars provided by the railroad on a rail siding fitted with bunks, stoves and coal.\n\nIn October 1928, Edmund S. Meany, U.W. History Professor and club president, bought 54 acres near Martin from Northern Pacific for $125, which he donated to the club. In “two months of back-breaking labor,” club members built a 20×50 two-story frame hut, a “plain ski shelter without luxurious embellishments,” for fifty people. Train schedules allowed “a full day of skiing plus time for dinner and cleanup.” Round trip fare was $3.80, later reduced to $1.80. Meany Hut was five minutes from the train station, and could be reached in an hour on skis along a three mile trail from the Sunset Highway.\n\nIn 1929, The Mountaineers began holding annual downhill and slalom races and providing ski instructions. The club marked miles of cross-country ski trails throughout Snoqualmie Pass, including a roughly 20 mile trail between its Snoqualmie Lodge and Meany Ski Hut, placing orange-colored tin shingles high on trees so one was always in sight ahead.\n\nIn spring 1930, club races were held at Meany Ski Hut, starting downhill and slalom racing in the Northwest. Two immigrants from Germany led the way: 17- year old Wolf Bauer won the slalom and placed third in the downhill; Hans-Otto Giese placed second in both. Both would become mainstays of skiing and mountaineering in the Northwest. Bauer competed in most of the Patrol races until WW II; started and taught The Mountaineers first climbing courses in the mid-1930s; completed many first ascents; and started the Northwest Mountain Rescue Council.\n\nIn 1930, the first Mountaineers Patrol Race was held for club members along the crest of the Cascades between the club’s lodges, going from Meany Hut to Snoqualmie Pass. The 1936 Mountaineers Application for membership in the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) described the race rules and the course, which ranged in elevation from 2,700 feet to 5,000 feet, along the high line route from the Mountaineers’ Meany Ski Hut at Martin to Snoqualmie Pass Summit, via Stampede Pass, Baldy Pass, Dandy Creek, Meadow Creek, Yakima Pass, Mirror Lake, Mirror Lake Trail, Silver Peak Trail, the Mountaineers Snoqualmie Lodge and Beaver Lake Trail.\n\nA “patrol” consisted of three skiers who competed as a team, each carrying a pack weighing at least 12 pounds that were inspected and weighted before and after the race. Racers had to carry emergency rations (raisins and a can of canned beef) and compulsory equipment (a light axe, two compasses, watch, three new plumber’s candles, 50 feet of 1/4 “ manila rope, first aid kit, map, flashlight, waterproof container containing strike-anywhere matches, and snow glasses). Prescribed clothing included shoes, sox, underwear, pants or knickers, shirt or jersey, jacket or parka, headgear and mitts, and an extra sweater or jacket, mitts and wool sox.\n\nThe entire course must be covered on skis. A competitor can exchange broken sticks or bindings but cannot change more than one broken ski. Waxing skis or repairing skis or bindings during the race must be done without the aid of anyone other than members of contestant’s patrol.\n\nAll three skiers started together; had to check in at posts at Baldy Pass, Mirror Lake, and Snoqualmie Lodge within one minute of each other; and finish within an interval of one minute or the patrol would be disqualified. The last member’s finishing time established the patrol’s finishing time.",
null,
"Before the first Patrol race, the Seattle Times of March 12, 1930, showed Mrs. Stewart Walsh, a Mountaineer who skied the difficult course – “the first woman to perform a feat that has been equaled by only six men.”\n\nMen have always said women couldn’t make this trip. I hope by doing it, I’ve proved their error. I was tired, yes. We were on the way eight hours. But scarcely more tired than I have often been after an unusually active day. I only wish I could have made the trip sooner. I should certainly have organized a woman’s patrol to compete in this year’s race. Next year, though, just watch us.\n\nFour patrols entered the first Patrol Race in 1930, where conditions were unfavorable due to several days of fresh snow. The team of Hans-Otto Giese, Andy Anderson and Fred Ball set a new record of 7 ½ hours.\n\nNo Patrol Races were held in 1931 and 1934. The 1932 race was won by the team of Norval W. Grigg, Fred W. Ball and Hans-Otto Giese. The 1933 race was won by “the hard-running team of Art Wilson, Herbert Standberg and Dan Blair,” in a record-breaking time of five hours and 32 minutes, “for a 20-mile trail breaking crusade.”\n\nThe 1935 race was won by the patrol of Art Wilson, Bill Dengenhardt and Scott Edison, in five hours, 35 minutes and 22 seconds, finishing six minutes ahead of Wolf Bauer, Bob Higman and Chet Higman. The trail breaking crew left with a several hour start and laid a perfect trail. The racers followed “the permanently marked but newly broken trail over rugged country” that took them as high as 4,500 feet near Tinkham Peak and as low as 2,900 feet near Meadow Creek Crossing.

"A priest conducts funeral service for a victim of Easter Sunday's bomb blast at St. Sebastian Church, in Negombo, Sri Lanka Thursday, April 25, 2019. The US Embassy in Sri Lanka warned Thursday that places of worship could be targeted for militant attacks over the coming weekend, as police searched for more suspects in the Islamic State-claimed Easter suicide bombings that killed over 350 people. (Photo: AP)\n\nThe US Embassy in Sri Lanka warned Thursday that places of worship could be targeted for militant attacks over the coming weekend, as police searched for more suspects in the Islamic State-claimed Easter suicide bombings that killed over 350 people.\n\nThe stark warning came as Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told The Associated Press that he believed militants, likely with access to explosives, remained on the loose in the island nation off the southern tip of India. He said they “may go out for a suicide attack.”\n\n“We have rounded up a lot of suspects but there are still active people on the run,” Wickremesinghe said in an interview. “They may be having explosives with them, so we have to find them.”\n\nPolice, meanwhile, issued an appeal for information about three women and two men suspected of involvement in the Easter bombings.\n\nThe U.S. Embassy’s warning, issued on Twitter, was strikingly specific compared to ones often issued by American diplomatic posts around the world.\n\n“Sri Lankan authorities are reporting that additional attacks may occur targeting places of worship,” the tweet said. “Avoid these areas over the weekend, starting tomorrow.”\n\nAlready, many Sri Lankan faith leaders had canceled or changed services in the country.\n\nMuslim Religious Affair Minister Abdul Haleem appealed to the Islamic community to avoid gathering for Friday congregational prayers. The noon prayers are the most important in the week for Muslims. Haleem instead urged Sri Lankans to pray in their homes.\n\nThe Rev. Niroshan Perera, a priest overseeing funerals of people killed in the blast at St. Sebastian’s church in Negombo, said Catholic churches in the city, known as “Little Rome” for its many religious buildings, were all closed and had canceled Mass upon the advice of government security officials.\n\nPerera said an official had warned him that police were still searching for two armed suspects.\n\n“Little bit, we are nervous,” he said.\n\nAcross Colombo and in Negombo, where 110 people died, residents and office workers stayed indoors and closed up shops Thursday, leaving both cities unusually quiet.\n\nSri Lanka’s civil aviation authority also banned drones and unmanned aircraft “in view of the existing security situation in the country,” according to a statement.\n\nHobby drones have been used by militants in the past to carry explosives. Iraqi forces found them difficult to shoot down while driving out the Islamic State group, whose members loaded drones with grenades or simple explosives to target government forces. Yemen’s Houthi rebels also have used drones, most recently to target a military parade in January, killing troops.\n\nThe attacks on Easter Sunday, mainly at churches and hotels, killed at least 359 people and wounded 500 more, the government said Wednesday. Most were Sri Lankan but the Foreign Ministry confirmed on Thursday that 40 foreigners died.\n\nSri Lankan leaders have acknowledged that some intelligence units were aware of possible terror attacks against churches or other targets weeks before the bombings.\n\nPresident Maithripala Sirisena had announced on television Tuesday that he planned to shake up the security forces. On Wednesday, he asked for the resignations of both the defense secretary and the national police chief.\n\nOn Thursday, his office said that Defense Secretary Hemasiri Fernando had resigned but would continue to serve until his replacement has been appointed.\n\nSri Lankan authorities have blamed a local extremist group, National Towheed Jamaat, whose leader, alternately named Mohammed Zahran or Zahran Hashmi, became known to Muslim leaders three years ago for his incendiary online speeches. One Sri Lankan official has said the attackers had broken away from National Towheed Jamaat and another group, which he identified only as “JMI.”\n\nThe Islamic State group also claimed responsibility for the attacks, bolstering their assertaion with images of Zahran and others pledging their loyalty to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Authorities remain unsure of the group’s involvement, though they are investigating whether foreign militants advised, funded or guided the local bombers.\n\nAuthorities have said those involved were well-educated and well-off financially. Wickremesinghe told the AP that the father of two of the suicide bombers, a wealthy spice trader, had been arrested as part of the investigation. He identified the man as Ibrahim Hajiar.\n\nHajiar’s home in Dematagoda, a wealthy Colombo neighborhood, was the site of an explosion Sunday that killed three police officers. On Thursday, police continued to search the house as a white BMW parked outside remained covered in black fingerprint dust.\n\nIn a house on the other side of a quiet, leafy lane full of mansions, Buhari Mohammed Anwar, 77, a retired primary school teacher, said his neighbor was a nice person who helped the poor."

"ASHLAND, Ky., (January 26, 2018) – Bills for Kentucky Power customers beginning January 19 have been delayed as new rates and tax savings are adopted following a January 18 order by the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Customers will receive bills about a week later than they normally would.\n\nDue dates will be adjusted accordingly so customers will still have 15 days from the mailing date to make payment.\n\nKentucky Power has taken extra time to incorporate the new rates into its computer system, run tests and review the results for accuracy. Customers with questions can contact the Customer Solutions Center at 800-572-1113.\n\nThank you for your patience.",

"“Brad leaves eastern Kentucky poised to expand the central Appalachian economic development success in neighboring states,” said Kentucky Power President and COO Matt Satterwhite. “Brad has played an important role as Kentucky Power led efforts to bring major industry and jobs to the region, including Braidy Industries in Ashland and EnerBlu in Pikeville. Both are game changers for our region, collectively providing more than 1,400 good paying full-time jobs and more than 1,000 construction jobs.”\n\nHall said he is honored and excited to accept this new opportunity with Appalachian Power.\n\n“As a lifelong Kentuckian who has made a career out of working to better the place in which I grew up, it is difficult to realize that I am leaving Kentucky and Kentucky Power,” Hall said. “Eastern Kentucky has made me who I am, and I am so thankful for the many friends, colleagues, and co-workers who have worked with me to bring new economic opportunities to the region. I am humbled by the faith the company has in me to take on this very important and challenging role.”\n\nJacob Colley, also an external affairs manager for Kentucky Power, has worked closely with Hall and will assume economic development oversight as well as government relations for the company. Colley joined Kentucky Power in 2016 after directing the Southeast Kentucky Chamber. He led an initiative to create a nine-county Regional Partnership for Economic Growth and built partnerships with businesses, community leaders, higher education, workforce, and others.\n\n“Jacob has the knowledge, experience and community relationships to assist Kentucky Power in its leadership role to revitalize the economy through economic development,” Hall said. “We worked on many projects as a team. I am proud of the work we have done in eastern Kentucky and confident that Kentucky Power’s long-term plans are in good hands moving forward.”"

"As the enrolment for this years Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme has opened at Wallace High School, we can reflect on a very successful year of the award scheme within Wallace. In conjunction with our Approved Award Provider, Outdoor Concepts six Bronze Groups , three Silver Groups and two Gold Groups completed a training programme at Wallace from February to April 2015. Participants learnt new skills, such as navigation and map reading, whilst also learning to work with others as part of a team in planning their final expedition route.\n\nMountain training took place from March onwards, with day walks and overnight camps the length and breadth of the Mourne mountains. The weather was mostly kind, although some days were unforgiving, yet all participants successfully completed the training and practice expedition for their award level.",
null,
"Buoyed with new found enthusiasm for the outdoor life and having successfully undertaken some challenging preparation the groups planned, organised and kitted themselves for their final expeditions.\nThe bronze expeditions took place in the Mounre mountains over a glorious weekend in June and all participants successfully completed their aim and their route with a certain degree of style. The Silver expeditions also took place in the Mournes at the end of August, this time involving a three day walk and two nights under canvas. Once again, the participants showed great grit and determination in successfully completing their aim and their expedition.",
null,
"Having completed an extensive training programme in the Mournes, the gold groups carried out their expedition in the Lake District. With a boat journey and a day’s acclimatisation and preparation under their belt, the two groups headed off on their four day three night adventure into unknown territory. Using their newly acquired skills, team work and a healthy dose of glorious weather each group fulfilled their aim and even bagged some picture perfect postcard images of the Lakes.",
null,
"Following these successful expedients the gold participants then presented their aim and their expedition to the rest of the school to complete the expedition section of the award scheme.\n\nThe enrolment for this years award scheme closes at half term. Teacher in charge, Mr Neil Armstrong, is sure the academic year ahead will lead to another bumper year at Wallace for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme."

"“Mom, you never make Swedish Tea Rings anymore,” said Middle Daughter on an afternoon in November. “You used to make them every Christmas, but we haven’t had them in years!”\n\n“Maybe this will be the year I get that done,” I said. “We can certainly try!”\n\n“You always say that,” she said, “but it seems like we just never get to it.”\n\n“Okay,” I said. “This year will be different. I promise to make Swedish Tea Rings some time over Christmas this year.”\n\nShe didn’t say it, but I could tell from the look on her face that she was a bit skeptical as whether this would ever happen.\n\nWhen I was a young wife, one year around Christmas I stopped over at the home of our neighbors, Earl and Alice Yutzy. They lived down the road from us and I knew some of their daughters. Alice was up to her elbows in baking on that particular day, and I was intrigued with the beautiful round pastries that she was turning out.\n\n“They are Swedish Tea Rings,” she answered. “I make them at Christmas to give away.” The rings were set around her kitchen in various stages of completion. Some were rising, some were just baked, some were iced, and she had even decorated some of them with red and green candied cherries, cut and placed to look like Christmas greenery and berries or flowers.\n\nI was young and foolish and impulsive and over-confident. “Could I have your recipe?” I asked her. “I would like to try to make them.”\n\nI’ve often wondered what she thought. If I had known how much trouble they were to make I would have: 1) Understood why she only made them once a year, and 2) Never attempted to even begin to make them. But Alice was, first and foremost, gracious. She was also encouraging. And I watched her make those tea rings, and I called her one day and scribbled down the recipe on a page in our local phone book that didn’t have much on it, and I learned how to make tea rings.\n\nThere came a day when my paper was almost unreadable, and I wrote it in a recipe book that was just for writing down personal favorites and that is where I was able to keep tabs of where it was when I needed it.",
null,
"This season has been busy. Certain Man finished his village a full three weeks later than usual. There are some of my Manger scenes that haven’t even gotten up. Those that have made it up through the faithful help of Middle and Youngest Daughter. At the back of my mind, though has been this promise about making Swedish Tea Rings this year. On this gloriously quiet Christmas day, I decided that there was no better time than now to get started. And so, I DID!\n\nThere were some very confused and worried moments while they were mixing because I forgot a whole cup of evaporated milk that the recipe called for. But I put it in and it all mixed up very nice. Then I weighed everything else, dividing the dough into individual pieces so that I knew exactly how much dough would be in each ring. Then I weighed and divided the filling so that there would be the right amount for each ring, and I wouldn’t have to guess. I set these on a sheet of waxed paper, close at hand.",
null,
"When everything was completely ready, I set to work. The dough had to be thoroughly chilled, so I put the first ones into the freezer while I finished weighing everything out. Then I got the first pack and the greatly simplified assembly proceeded.\n\nFirst, I rolled the dough into a rectangle, approximately 9″X12″–",
null,
"Then I took one of the premeasured filling portions and spread it over the dough like this:",
null,
null,
"And then joined the ends together to form a circle like this, and placed it on a sheet of foil that I could transfer it to a cookie sheet.",
null,
"This next process is one that took a very long time for me to understand and learn to do. The instructions were to make cuts all the way around the “wheel” like this:",
null,
"Then the trick is to carefully take each section and turn it gently on its side like this:",
null,
"Then the creation is allowed to rise for about an hour — less if it is really warm in your kitchen and more if it is chilly, then it is popped into the oven at 375 degrees for about twenty minutes and it comes out looking all brown and good, and we put icing on them and they look like this: Ready to eat or give away, or package for later.",
null,
"Alice always had beautifully proportioned and perfect looking things. Mine usually taste okay, but I just cannot match the perfection that I still see in my mind’s eye when I think of hers.\n\nBut my family say they taste as good as ever. They have been effusive in their praise. I don’t think they taste quite right, but I cannot say that out loud. They forbid me to complain about the food that I make. They said that I am never satisfied with food I make. Which is pretty much true. I think that something is wrong with my taste buds. Nothing ever tastes quite right.\n\nI think it must be something that comes with six decades of overuse."

"William Arthur Belfitt was born in 1894 and was baptised at Whittington church on 11th November 1894. His parents William Herbert and Mary Ellen (Beetham).\n\nWilliam was the fourth child for William and Mary he had two older sisters Dorothy and Gladys, and a sister who had died shortly after birth in 1890, Blanche.\n\nIn 1901 William was living at 6 South Street New Whittington and William’s father is listed as a Railway Engine Driver.",
null,
"By 1911 the family had moved and were living at 35 High Street New Whittington. William had by now left school and at 17 years old was working as a general labourer in an Iron Foundry.",
null,
"William joined the Army on 19th February 1916, his age is recorded as 21 years 4/12 months and his height was 5ft 7ins. His service number was 45614, although he originally joined the army, on 19th July 1916 he was transferred to the Royal Flying Corps (which was the Air arm of the British Army).\n\nWilliam’s first unit was 91 Squadron. The squadron was based in England and the last base in England William would have served at would have been Tangmere in West Sussex. This base was founded in 1917 for the RFC.\n\nThe RAF was established on 1st April 1918 (an amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service) and William was transferred to 149 Squadron RAF on 16th April 1918, he was sent to France on 31 May 1918. The squadron remained based in France moving bases around northern France, and were involved in night bombing missions above occupied France and Belgium. William was an Aircraft Mechanic/ Fitter and would have been kept very busy.\n\nThe squadron moved to Fort Cognelee in late November 1918. Fort Cognelee had been used as a base for Zeppelins after the Siege of Namur in 1914. The picture below shows a British aircraft near to a German hangar that previously had housed Zeppelins.",

"More information on Fort Cognelee can be found at\n\nOn the RAF Service card Williams father is given as the person to contact in case of casualty, and by this time he was living at the Crown Hotel New Whittington. Sadly, this information was necessary as on 16th December 1918, after surviving WW1, William died during the influenza pandemic that killed around 5 million people worldwide.\n\nAn entry in the Derbyshire Courier 4th January 1919 reported that:\n\n‘Private W A Belfitt, son of Mr and Mrs H Belfitt (Crown Inn New Whittington) died on 16th December from pneumonia at a Casualty Clearing Station in France. “Everything possible” wrote the sister in charge” has been done for him He did not realise how ill he was. Consequently there was no last message to forward.” Private Belfitt was 24 years of age and joined the Sherwoods in February 1916. Later he was transferred to the Royal Scots and later to the Royal Air Force’.",

"In some way we really have to prove to people that we have deserved this opportunity to be on a label like this.\n\nBefore their Manchester show with Vallenfyre recently, Steve Fallows managed to grab a few words with Implore guitarist Pedro to find out a bit more about the band’s first album for Century Media Records, and how this multinational band came together.\n\nE&D: Thanks for your time. Last night was the first night of the tour, how did it go?\n\nPedro: Was a pretty cool show, lots of people came out and the reaction was pretty good for the first show of a tour. Normally it can take us two or three days to get into our rhythm and the first couple of shows can be pretty stiff, but it went really well.\n\nE&D: You’ll be quite a new name to a lot of people over here, so can you tell us a little bit about the band?\n\nPedro: We come from Germany, based in Berlin, but all four of us come from different countries. We’ve been around for almost four years now and we are about to drop our second album Subjugate, our first for Century Media, and that’s pretty much it about now.\n\nE&D: With you all being from different countries, how did you all get together?\n\nPedro: Basically Gabriel (Dubko, vocals) formed the band in Germany with two German guys, but he’s from Argentina originally and grew up in Barcelona, which is where I’m from. We hooked up there, so when he needed a guitar player, he just asked me. I moved to Germany and when the drummer left the band, we found a drummer from Italy, he played a few shows for us it worked well and we asked him to stay and he was totally into it. Markus is from Austria and we hired him to produce Subjugate and because things went so smoothly we asked him to join the band too and he agreed.\n\nE&D: With Subjugate being your first album for a big label, did you find yourselves under any more pressure than when you have previously recorded?\n\nPedro: There was some pressure because Implore are such a small band for Century Media. In some way we really have to prove to people that we have deserved this opportunity to be on a label like this. Yeah, we are a small band, but we’ve got a lot to say. It was also different because it was the first time this line-up had been writing together, so we didn’t have anything to “better”. It all flowed pretty naturally when it happened.\n\nE&D: Was the creative process much different with the line-up and the label changes?\n\nPedro: The biggest difference is that we have always been a trio, and now we are a four-piece, so we have a second guitarist now, which has definitely changed a lot of things. Marcus, the new guitar player has very interesting views on music and he brought a lot of new ideas to our sound. It’s also [Guido] the drummer’s first album writing with us and he has so many different influences that he brought to Implore. It was very different, but in a very good way.\n\nE&D: What can we expect from Subjugate?\n\nPedro: Musically, there are some new ideas. I would say it definitely sounds fresher that our other material and still aggressive and violent because our lyrics are pissed off with the world and how it’s run. We put that anger to music because the whole concept is about the human race being a cancer for the world the way people destroy it for their own means. Basically the whole world is falling apart because of the human species.\n\nE&D: I’ve noticed a big influence of Swedish death metal. What other bands influenced you?\n\nPedro: We took that Swedish sound especially Entombed / At The Gates, bands we all grew up on, but there were also many bands from outside that scene that were influential. Bands like Converge, they are a huge influence on me, and also classic metal like Slayer. We also listen to a lot of punk, I am a big NOFX fan and I think there are even moments where you can pick up small traces of their sound on our album.\n\nE&D: Gregor McKintosh (Paradise Lost, Vallenfyre) features as a guest on the album, and now you are supporting him on tour. How did that come about?\n\nPedro: That was really cool because Phillip is our A & R from Century Media and he told us that Gregor is a big fan of the first record, so we asked him if he was up for some guest vocals and he said yes straight away. We sent him the song in the morning and by the evening of the same day, he sent us back the song with his vocals on it. His voice worked better than we could have hoped for and it totally fits the song.\n\nPedro: Hopefully more albums from Century Media; there is another tour with some Swedish bands immediately after this run finishes, also Europe and then we go to Japan and Asia. That will be it for this year, and then we’re working on more shows for next year. We just want to concentrate on touring as much as possible until we feel it’s time to stop and start writing again."

"Pope Francis to Roman Rota: Always keep in mind ‘the good of the children’\n\n‘I still wanted to make a difference’: Why pro-lifers came to D.C. to pray",

"“Our weapons to defeat the culture of death are not bricks, guns or, Molotov cocktails, but prayer, fasting and almsgiving,” Archbishop Naumann said in his homily for the annual March for Life Vigil Mass on Jan. 28. He celebrated the Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.\n\n“We must not yield to discouragement, much less despair. We must also not indulge in anger or attacking those who disagree with us,” he added, asking Catholics to “pray and fast” for President Joe Biden to have a change of heart on his support for legal abortion.\n\nNaumann offered the Mass just hours after Biden, in his second week in office, allowed for U.S. funding of international pro-abortion groups. On Jan. 22, Biden—a Catholic—had also pledged to codify Roe v. Wade on the 48th anniversary of the Roe decision.\n\nDespite the setbacks, Naumann encouraged pro-lifers not to yield to despair or anger.\n\n“We must pray and fast that the President will cease attempting to confuse people about Catholic teaching by trampling on the sanctity of human life while presenting himself as a devout Catholic,” Naumann said.\n\nArchbishop Naumann is the chair of the U.S. bishops’ conference (USCCB) pro-life committee.\n\nHe celebrated the opening Mass of the National Prayer Vigil for Life, normally attended by thousands on the eve of the annual March for Life. However, the 2021 Mass was closed to the general public due to COVID-19 restrictions.\n\nThe March for Life is an annual pro-life demonstration around the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.\n\nNormally attended by tens of thousands of pro-life advocates, the 48th annual March for Life is closed to the public and will be live-streamed on Friday as pro-life leaders walk through the streets of Washington, D.C.\n\nOn Thursday, Archbishop Naumann emphasized that the COVID precautions taken by society “have communicated to our elderly that their lives are important and treasured.”\n\n“Perhaps, the greatest bright spot in our nation’s response to COVID-19 was the extraordinary measures that we have taken to protect the most vulnerable, those with pre-existing health conditions and the elderly,” Naumann stated.\n\n“In a culture where euthanasia and assisted suicide have gained traction,” he added, “it has been heartening that our COVID protocols are not based on a biased Quality of Life ethic”–restricting care for the elderly and disabled based on an assumption about their “quality of life.”\n\nAt the end of his homily, the archbishop explained the Church’s teaching on reception of Holy Communion is not meant to be “inhospitable” or “exclusive.” When a Communion recipient replies “Amen,” he said, it “is an affirmation that we believe and profess all that the Holy Catholic Church believes, teaches and proclaims to be revealed by God.”\n\n“We do not want non-Catholic Christians to profess something that they do not believe,” Naumann said of non-Catholics being instructed not to receive Communion.\n\n“Similarly, integrity requires a Catholic not receive the Eucharist while acting in a manner incoherent with fundamental Catholic teaching,” he said."

"One of the key reasons for the inauguration of the Ayalolo Transport System late last year was to supplement the efforts of Ghana’s commercial transport industry as well as provide time-bound transport services to commuters in Accra.\n\nBut four months after its inauguration it appears most commuters in the city are not patronising the services despite the perks that come with riding the Ayalolo buses.\n\n“Because we haven’t had a good public transport system, a lot of people are forced to use their private vehicles and that’s causing a lot of traffic. But if we have neat buses which are nice with air conditions, a lot of people will be tempted to leave their cars at home and ride their buses to work.”\n\nA passenger who spoke to Citi Business News on her preference for trotro to the Aayalolo buses attributed her choice to the inconveniences associated with the BRT system.\n\n“I do not always use the route the buses use. In addition, the card system is complicated for me considering the kind of work I do and the inconveniences I am likely to face if my credit gets exhausted,” she stated.\n\nListen to full audio report below\n\nCiti Business News’ checks reveal that a trip on the Ayalolo bus from Achimota to Circle costs 1 cedi 15 pesewas, Achimota to Ofankor 1 cedi 92 pesewas which is cheaper than the cost of boarding a trotro.\n\nFrom Achimota to Circle for example, it will cost you 1 cedi 80 pesewas and Achimota to Ofankor 2 cedis 70 pesewas.\n\nAnother passenger also explained that his reason for not using the Aayalolo buses is the challenges associated with the validator.\n\n“I do not want to use the Aayalolo because it stops at every bus stop and I see it as a waste of time, secondly, I tried to use it once and when I got to my destination and showed the card to the validator, I got a feedback indicating an error.”\n\nApart from being cheaper the ayalolo buses have air condition, free WIFI and a USB charging portal for phones as well as a special lane to avoid traffic.\n\nBut Citi Business News’ checks into why the buses are not being patronized despite all the advantages show that most people are not conversant with how the bus operates and its routes are very limited.\n\nAlso majority of Ayalolo ticketing booths are unattended to making it difficult to purchase tickets.\n\nPublic Relation Officer for Aayaolo Fred Chidi tells Citi Business News that they are hopeful patronage will pick up.\n\n“Certainly, it’s a business venture and you certainly will know that you do not start a business all of a sudden and start to make profits so we are running at a huge cost but eventually we will meet our target. The trend we have established now is if we are able to do toe ridership will increase by sixty passengers per bus so it is encouraging and something that we are determined to make work, so it is just a matter of time.”"

"It was illegal to dig for gold without a current license.\n\nAny adult male on the goldfields was required to hold a current license whether they were searching for gold or not.\n\nOpposition to the proposal by Governor Charles La Trobe was voiced from the Argus in 1851 and this paper remained critical of, and was vocal against the licence system.[1]\n\nOur readers will do well to recollect that a public meeting is convened for to-day at three o’clock, to take into consideration the lately promulgated regulations on the subject of gold discovery.

On that day, the Government either places itself in the ridiculous position of having issued proclamations which amount to nothing, or through their staff of newly appointed Commissioners, they will have to drive off the poor diggers in a mob, and restore Anderson’s Creek, the Clunes diggings and the Buninyong country to their original seclusion.\n\nAs to any number of licences being taken out by men not averaging their expenses already, the thing is too preposterous for anything but a Victorian Government to expect. That gold exists throughout this Colony, possibly in profusion, there is little doubt. There is just as little doubt that the people, left alone, would find it.\n\nIt would appear to require some ingenuity of folly and impracticability, upon the part of the Government, to check the spirit of discovery, which might have placed our diggings on a level with those of Turon; but which once deadened again may leave our treasures unfound for half a century, and direct all our more energetic spirits in an exhausting stream towards Bathurst.\n\nWhen the fine weather sets in, and men begin to move off in reality, our householders, farmers, settlers, and other employers of labour may, perhaps, learn another bitter lesson of the benign influences, which a faithless and incapable ruler is capable of shedding upon the people whose bread he eats, and whose interests he is sworn to foster.[2]\n\nIn 1852 the regulations printed onto the license were:\n\n1. Every licensed person must always have his License with him ready to be produced whenever demanded by a Commissioner, or Person acting under instructions, otherwise he is liable to be proceeded against as an unlicensed person.\n2. Every person digging to Gold, or occupying Land, without a License is liable by law to be fined, for a first offence, not exceedign five pounds; for a second offence not exceeding 15 pounds; and for subsequent offence, not exceeding 30 pounds.\n3. Digging for Gold is not allowed within ten feet of the edge of any Public Road, nor are the roads to be undermined.\n4. Tents or Buildings are not to be erected within twenty feet of each other, or within 20 feet of any Creek\n5. It is enjoined that all persons on the Gold Fields maintain a due and proper observance of Sundays.\n\nIn 1854 the regulations on the license were:\n\nTranscription from an 1854 Gold License (from near Bealiba)\n\nHaving paid the sum of ONE Pound on account of the General Revenue of the Colony, I hereby License him to mine or dig for Gold, reside at, or carry on, or follow any trade or calling, except that of Storekeeper, on such Crown Lands within the Colony of Victoria as shall be assigned to him for these purposes by any one duly authorised in that behalf.\n\nThis License to be in force for ONE Month ending Sepr. and no longer. XXXX Commissioner.\n\nREGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY THE PERSONS DIGGING FOR GOLD OR OTHERWISE EMPLOYED AT THE GOLDFIELDS,\n\n1 This License is to be carried on the person, to be produced whenever demanded by any commissioner, peace officer, or other duly authorised person, and is not transferable.\n\n2 No Mining will be permitted where it would be destructive of any line of road which it is necessary to maintain, and which shall be determined by any Commissioner, nor within such distance around any store as it may be necessary to reserve for access to it.\n\n4 The extent of claim allowed to each Licensed miner is twelve feet square, or 144 square feet.\n\n5 To a party consisting of two Miners, twelve feet by twenty-four, or 288 square feet.\n\n6 To a party consisting of three Miners, twenty-four feet by twenty-four, or 576 square feet: beyond which no greater area will be allowed in one claim.\n\nPrinted by John Ferres, at the Government Printing Office. [3]\n\nA Victorian Gold License cost 30 shillings per month (or one pound ten shillings for two months). In 1854 it was possible to purchase a gold license for a three month period for two pounds.",

"Gold Fields Commissioner reports in favour of gold fields reform. The Gold License was abolished, Local Courts to be elected by miners and 'miners right' of 1 pound a year which conferred electoral rights.[4] The Miner's Right gave miners the right to mine gold and entitled its bearer to a vote in parliamentary elections.[5]"

"Childhood Obesity News is looking at the influence of disordered thinking on disordered behaviors around food and eating. We mentioned that there is fierce warfare in the social media trenches. Adherents of the pro-ana philosophy fling aside the fact that anorexia nervosa is a serious and often deadly disease.\n\nThey are like rock-and-roll groupies, who slavishly adopt the lifestyle even if they can’t play a note of music and will never appear on stage. Forming bizarre “support” networks, they swap tips and tricks, hoping to eventually catch anorexia.\n\nThose who promote this dangerous ambition romanticize it with such lyrical phrases as “my journey into ana.” To a pro-ana activist, anorexia is not an illness but an exalted calling that is esteemed, cultivated, and preached as if it were a legitimate religion. This holier-than-thou attitude puts down anyone who merely dabbles in standard exercise, and condemns a person with a reasonable eating habits as a poser who deserves no respect.\n\n“Only water and you’ll be hotter”\n\nIn a pro-ana online coven, the members exchange militant slogans and give each other advice, like don’t inhale when walking past a bakery, lest calories be absorbed through the nose. (Who knows how much of this is trolling? Who is more to blame — the participants who take the nonsense seriously, or the disguised jokesters who just come for the fun of messing with unstable people’s heads?)\n\nThey seek out abusive relationships, like the young woman who solicited a “pro-ana buddy” to help in her weight-shedding efforts — someone who would help keep her “on track” by calling her a fat pig, via text messaging. The group is a place for agonized cries, like “I just want to cut the fat off my body.”\n\nIt is a platform for the vehement declaration of autonomous rights:\n\nI do what I do for myself: I have a goal and I will not tolerate your attitude towards me.\n\nA diligent striver for the anorectic condition will not only put up with, but actively pursue gastrointestinal pain and dysfunction, an impaired immune system, brittle nails, menstrual irregularities, imperfect wound healing, swollen saliva glands, rotting teeth, dizziness, fainting, insomnia, and inability to concentrate.\n\nYou gotta have a dream\n\nShe may be unable to climb a flight of steps without faltering from exhaustion. Hair may fall out of her head and grow instead in strange locations; her graying skin may be covered with technicolor bruises. She will prefer carcinogenic artificial sweeteners to natural sugar, and will quite likely gobble down diuretics, and pills that promise to melt the fat from her tissues. In the mirror she will see sleek definition, and not even recognize it as deterioration. Then she will cover up everything with layers of big clothes, which may not alleviate the constant sensation of cold, but will deflect prying eyes.\n\n“Death is better than fat”\n\nYou either have it or you don’t. As one group’s anti-pro-ana moderater says,\n\nYour decision to start “eating as little as possible” is not synonymous with anorexia. Anorexia is a life-threatening disease, which sufferers have no choice in developing — it is not a weight loss method with a specifically chosen starting date, and it is not something you can simply decide to “try”."

"The panda eyes are black circles or dark colors that form under the eyes.\n\nPanda eyes are generally not a serious health problem.\n\nIn some cases, the panda eyes indicate the need for dietary improvement and sleep habits.\n\nCauses of panda eyes can vary, including:\n\nLack of sleep causes the emergence of dark circles on the eyes that are often referred to as panda eyes. This condition can cause a person to appear older and become less confident.\n\nHowever, sometimes your panda eyes still appear even though it has slept with enough duration. In addition to lack of sleep, there are many things that cause panda eyes. Some of the causes of panda eyes can be fixed, but others will survive.\n\nThe emergence of dark circles on eyes since childhood is often caused by hereditary factors. A person with a panda eye generally has a family member who also has the same condition.\n\nThe panda eye conditions influenced by offspring will become increasingly visible as you age.\n\nHave you ever noticed that the dark circles on the eyes is more often found in the elderly? Age causes a person more susceptible to the panda eyes.\n\nThis is because the skin will experience depletion as people age. In addition, decreased production of fats and collagen in the area around the eye can also occur.\n\nThis will certainly worsen the condition of the black circles on the eyes.\n\nThe habit of staring at screens\n\nStaring at a television screen, computer, or mobile phone for a long time can cause strain to the eye. This tension makes the blood vessels around the eyes grow. As a result, the skin around the eyes becomes dark.\n\nDehydration can also be a cause of panda eyes. When the body is deficient in water, the skin under the eyes will look concave and glazed.\n\nAlthough not a health disorder that needs to be feared, this problem is quite disturbing the appearance.\n\nHow to get rid of Panda eyes\n\nNo need to confuse when Panda eyes start appearing. Here’s how to remove the panda eye that you can try.\n\nSleeping with enough is the easiest and simplest way to cope with the panda eyes. Not only does it make the eyes bright, while sleeping, the body will also repair damage to the cells that occur in the skin.\n\nSleeping with a high pillow\n\nThe way you sleep can also affect the panda eyes. Sleeping with pillow arranged upwards can prevent liquids from gathering under the eyes, which can cause the face to look swollen.\n\nThis one way How to remove panda eyes is simple. Simply dip the towel into the ice water, then place it under the eyes for 20 minutes.\n\nThe cold temperatures received by the skin can help reduce swelling, and will help shrink the blood vessels, so that blood circulation can run better.\n\nTake time to remove your makeup before bedtime. Letting an overnight makeup can cause watery eyes and create a pouch on the next day.\n\nDehydration is one of the triggers of eye bags. Improving daily fluid intake can be one way to cope with the Panda eyes.\n\nAs we age, the muscles and tissues of the eyelids begin to weaken. This means the eyes start to sag and cause pouches around it.\n\nIncrease the intake of foods rich in vitamin C and amino acids that can help collagen production for healthier skin.\n\nRead also:\nHow to get rid of panda eyes naturally\n\n*\nWe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.

"On Wednesday before the government released the first of two inflation reports I wrote If I am Wrong the Rally Has Ended. I try to be crystal clear on my thesis. I wrote that “I do not believe the rally has ended…” There was no wavering. But I always try recognize how and when I could be wrong. I was surprised at the number of emails asking me why I thought the rally was over. I never said I thought the rally was over, only that IF I was going to be wrong, here is how it could play out.\n\nI said that momentum was sufficiently powerful enough and that it would take time for that to wear off. Look, with the plethora of bad news in the semiconductor sector, the group still behaves really well and has staved off all bear attacks. That’s one of the reasons we still own the ETF as well as a number of semi stocks like AMD, NVDA and AVGO.",
null,
"Regarding the inflation numbers, they came in cooler than last month and than people forecast. And stocks responded with a big rally on Wednesday and follow through on Thursday that did not hold into the close. I sense an awful lot of bears were hoping and praying for another white hot number to hit stocks and give them a chance to exit their shorts and/or buy stocks. Instead, it looks like many investors were forced to abandon negative positions as well as invest cash that has likely been sitting out the entire rally.\n\nThis rally has ripped the faces off many bears after those same bears became super comfortable in June. Regardless of whether this is a monster bear market rally or new bull market, getting comfortable can be hazardous to your portfolio. I say it over and over and over again; it’s not what the news is but how markets react. When stocks took off from the March 23rd 2020 bottom before the real dire health news had even started the masses refused to believe the rally. It was hated. It was disavowed. I couldn’t get any prospective clients to even discuss investing. I just kept following the market data and reaction.\n\nA pullback is likely coming, mild or moderate. In the strongest bull runs all we really ever see is 1-3 days on the downside before the bulls gore the bears again. And that’s what we have seen for 6 weeks. While the easiest money has been made the rally should roll on into September.\n\nOn Wednesday we bought SSO. We sold XLU and levered S&P 500. On Thursday we sold FVD, IYR, FSTA, some BIB, some MDY and some levered NDX.\n\nThe heat and humidity have finally broke in New England with the single worst day of the summer this past week. It so awesomely incredible to take the dogs out this morning with a nice cool breeze, low humidity and temps around 70. Now all we need to some rain! It is going to be a great weekend to get outside. Looking forward to seeing my daughter’s former coaches and their families. Enjoy and stay safe…"

"Normally when you think of an in-game exploit you think of someone giving themselves a clear unfair advantage. This is typically something along the lines of an aimbot or an out-of-bounds glitch. However, the latest exploit to hit Rainbow Six Siege involves one team directly affecting the performance of the enemy team. Due to its unique nature, this exploit has been coined as the Bird Box glitch.\n\nIn case you’re not aware, there’s a new Netflix movie out called Bird Box starring Sandra Bullock. The movie involves supernatural creatures who can drive people insane simply by looking at them. Now, Rainbow Six Siege’s Bird Box glitch obviously isn’t that severe. When you see what the glitch does, though, it’s easy to understand how it got its name.",
null,
"The glitch basically involves one team tricking another team into looking at a certain spot on their bombsite. If the glitch is done correctly, the affected team’s vision becomes permanently distorted, rendering them helpless. To see just how crazy the Bird Box glitch can get, be sure to watch the below video from MicrowaveGaming:\n\nSeveral fixes for the glitch are being circulated, but none of them seem to be permanent catch-all solutions. Some have said adjusting a video setting like anti-aliasing or shadow quality can fix the glitch sometimes. Others have said that merely swapping to your character’s sidearm is enough to clear the distortion.\n\nAs of this writing, Ubisoft hasn’t officially responded to reports of the Bird Box glitch. Hopefully the reason for that is because the studio is actively working on a more permanent fix. In the meantime, just be wary when playing competitive matches in Rainbow Six Siege."

"Last year’s winner squad Tockwith Motorsport is ready to return to GT4 South in 2020 with their Ginetta G50 GT4, shared by Aubrey Hall and Jemma Moore, in the GTC Cup category. The GTC Cup is a category for homologated GT4 over 8 years old, such as the G50, Aston Martin Vantage, Maserati Grand Turismo or the Porsche 911 GT4.\n\nTockwith is expecting to enter a second Ginetta G50 GT4 – for Jemma Moore – but it won’t be confirmed until they find a second driver.\n\nAfter a fantastic first season, it will be interesting to see if the British Team, whose second headquarters are in Spain, can repeat its 2019 strong performance.\n\nSimon Moore, Team Principal of Tockwith Motorsports, said “last year was a good year for us in the Championship, winning the GTC Class and having some excellent fights with other Spanish G50 throught the year. We are happy to come back to GT4 South, building on the last year’s experience, fighting for more wins and overall result.”\n\nDiogo Ferrão, Race Ready’s CEO, added “Tockwith Motorsports has been with us since the very beginning and they are a remarkable presence in the paddock. Their Le Mans experience and strong knowledge with the Ginetta G50 make them a fantastic team and a strong opponent. I want to thank Tockwith for the confidence they put in us and hope they find a driver for his last seat on the second car.”\n\nThe series, promoted by Race Ready, will be almost a winter series, starting in Jerez de La Frontera on October 17-18, followed by the round at Jarama Circuit, on 31st October and 1st of November. Then the championship moves to Portugal at Autódromo do Estoril on December 5-6 and the last weekend will be hosted by Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, on the 23rd and 24th of January, 2021, with GT Winter Series."

"Storms and other extreme weather events don’t happen in both parts of the world at the same rate. In fact, the Southern Hemisphere has about 24 percent more storms than the Northern, and no one really knew why until now.\n\nA new study that looked closely at storm patterns around the world found that the height of mountain ranges and how energy moves around the oceans are two of the most important factors in how storms form above and below the equator.\n\nResearchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Washington came to their conclusions by running a series of modified climate models and looking at how changing factors like topography and ocean currents affected the number of storms.\n\nTiffany Shaw, a climate scientist at the University of Chicago, says, “You can’t put the Earth in a jar. Instead, we use climate models based on the laws of physics and run experiments to test our ideas.”\n\nThe scientists made changes to their climate models one part at a time. When the land masses of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres were flattened, half of the difference in how stormy it went away.\n\nThen, they slowed down a major “conveyor belt” of ocean currents around the world. This current is made when warm water cools and sinks in the Arctic, flows south, and rises in the Antarctic because of wind upwellings. This loss of energy transfer, along with the flattening of the world’s mountains, brought storm levels in the two hemispheres closer together.\n\nAlso, satellites have shown that the number of storms in the Southern Hemisphere has been going up since the 1980s, while in the Northern Hemisphere it has mostly stayed the same.\n\nThat’s probably because changes in the atmosphere and ocean temperatures have caused changes in the currents. All over the world, these changes are happening, but in the north, they are balanced out by the melting of sea ice and snow and the increased absorption of sunlight.\n\n“It is expected that storms will get worse in the Southern Hemisphere, while changes in storminess will be smaller in the Northern Hemisphere because of a tug of war between tropical and polar climate changes,” the researchers write in their published paper.\n\nScientists didn’t start keeping track of the weather and climate around the world until after World War II. However, sailors had known for a long time that each hemisphere had different conditions.\n\nWhen large-scale, real-time satellite imagery became available at the start of the 1980s, it gave researchers a lot of new information about the weather and let them map out and keep track of how it changed over time.\n\nThese new findings will be put back into climate change models to help us figure out how a warming planet might affect storms and weather patterns differently in the two hemispheres and which variables will be most important.\n\nShaw says, “By laying this groundwork for understanding, we increase confidence in climate change projections and help society prepare better for the effects of climate change.”\n\n“One of the main goals of my research is to figure out if models are giving us good information now so that we can trust what they say about the future. It’s important to get the right answer for the right reason because the stakes are high.”\n\nThe study has been written up in PNAS.",

"Researchers believe they found a link between the volume of one’s cerebellum and general intelligence. The cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary motor movement, balance and equilibrium and muscle tone. It is located just above the brain stem and toward the back of the brain.\n\nA small but promising study suggests that magnetic stimulation of the brain could aid the recovery of some stroke patients.\n\nTreatment that increases brain levels of an important regulatory enzyme may slow the loss of brain cells that characterizes Huntington’s disease (HD) and other neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nHow much do babies remember about the world around them? New research reveals that even though infants can’t remember the details of an object that has been hidden from view, their brains have built-in “pointers” that help them retain the idea that the object still exists even though they can’t see it anymore.\n\nLoyola University Medical Center researchers are reporting what could become the first reliable method to predict whether an antidepressant will work on a depressed patient.\n\nHow we perceive motion is a significantly more complex process than previously thought, researchers at New York University’s Center for Neural Science, Stanford University and the University of Washington have found. Their results, which appear in the journalCurrent Biology, show that the relationship between the brain and visual perception varies, depending on the type of motion we are viewing.\n\nAfter birth, the developing brain is largely shaped by experiences in the environment. However, neurobiologists at Yale and elsewhere have also shown that for many functions the successful wiring of neural circuits depends upon spontaneous activity in the brain that arises before birth independent of external influences."

"Changes in the Pirates’ Pitch Selection\n\nJust for fun, or because I don’t have enough to do, I thought I’d represent in graphical form the changes in the Pirates’ pitch selection over the past five years. I don’t think much explanation is needed, as nothing here is terribly surprising. I’ve done this both in the form of the team’s MLB rank is usage of each pitch, and the percentage that each pitch made up of the team’s total pitches. On the latter, the percentages won’t add up to 100 usually because I haven’t bothered with anything exotic, like the splitter, which Pirate pitchers hardly ever throw. (That’s true of most teams.)",

"You can see that the changes the team made were seemingly minor if expressed as a percentage of the team’s pitches. Relative to what other teams were doing, there were some pretty sharp changes. To some extent, that may reflect the Pirates lagging behind MLB-wide trends and then suddenly catching up or even going beyond the trend lines. That, in turn, could help explain the pitchers getting better late in the year.\n\nOverall, the team obviously traded a lot of fastballs for breaking balls, especially curves. There was also a sudden, and pretty sharp, drop in usage of the change. I’m guessing that resulted from personnel changes. As for the cutter, the team largely stopped throwing it after 2016; the cutters that year were mostly thrown by Jon Niese. As I’ve said before, that strikes me as a lost opportunity, as long as it’s not Niese throwing the cutter.\n\nI’ll see about putting something like this together for individuals later."

"London taxi drivers have given their backing to the Mayor Boris Johnson’s Crossrail for the Bikes scheme after the threat of seeking a judicial review of the plans was dropped, with the general secretary of the main body representing them saying “I don’t want blood on my hands.”\n\nAfter the board of Transport for London (TfL) approved the plans for the two segregated routes crossing the heart of the capital in January, the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) said it planned to seek a judicialreview of the consultation process.\n\nIt is thought any such move would have been backed by businesses opposed to the project and who had called for the consultation period to be further extended, the most prominent among them the property firm, Canary Wharf Group.\n\nThe deadline to apply for such a review was yesterday, despite LTDA general secretary Steve McNamara telling the Evening Standard that he had been “confident” that the legal action would have succeeded.\n\nBut he acknowledged that taking that step would have simply led to TfL revising its plans for the two routes – from the Westway to Tower Hill, and from King’s Cross to Elephant & Castle – and the £47 million project would ultimately go ahead.\n\nHe said: “At the end of the day, does London need protected cycling? Yes it does.\n\n“What we don’t want to do is issue a judicial review and all we achieve is delaying that by a year, and some cyclist gets killed in Parliament Square.\n\nTfL is carrying out the work in phases, with construction getting under way on the Victoria Embankment on the east-west route today, with Tower Hill, Lancaster Gate and Parliament Square following later this year."

"BOSTON (AP) – A jury sentenced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death Friday for the Boston Marathon bombing, sweeping aside pleas that he was just a “kid” who fell under the influence of his fanatical older brother.\n\nTsarnaev, 21, stood with his hands folded upon learning his fate, decided after 14 hours of deliberations over three days in the nation’s most closely watched terrorism trial since the Oklahoma City bombing case two decades ago.\n\nThe decision sets the stage for what could be the nation’s first execution of a terrorist in the post-9/11 era, though the case is likely to go through years of appeals. The execution would be carried out by lethal injection.\n\nThe 12-member jury had to be unanimous for Tsarnaev to get the death penalty. Otherwise, he would have automatically received a sentence of life in prison without parole.\n\nThree people were killed and more than 260 wounded when two pressure-cooker bombs packed with shrapnel exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013.\n\nTsarnaev was convicted last month of all 30 federal charges against him, including use of a weapon of mass destruction and the killing of an MIT police officer during the Tsarnaev brothers’ getaway attempt. Seventeen of those charges carried the possibility of the death penalty.\n\nTsarnaev’s chief lawyer, death penalty specialist Judy Clarke, admitted at the very start of the trial that he participated in the bombings, bluntly telling the jury: “It was him.”",

"But the defence argued that Dzhokhar was an impressionable 19-year-old who was led astray by his volatile and domineering 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan (left), who wanted to punish the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries.\n\nProsecutors portrayed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as an equal partner in the attack, saying he was so heartless he planted a bomb on the pavement behind a group of children, killing an eight-year-old boy.\n\nTo drive home their point, prosecutors cited the message he scrawled in the dry-docked boat where he was captured: “Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop”. And they opened their case in the penalty phase with a startling photo of him giving the finger to a security camera in his jail cell months after his arrest.\n\nThe jurors also heard grisly and heart-breaking testimony from numerous bombing survivors who described seeing their legs blown off or watching someone next to them die."

"The Heat, Sticky-Candy Resurgence of Hotteok",

"The Heat, Sticky-Candy Resurgence of Hotteok\n\nEssentially the most difficult a part of consuming hotteok is the ready, stated the chef Judy Joo. It takes a couple of minutes for the new sugar encased within the crisp, chewy pancakes to go from molten, burn-your-mouth-off goo to heat, sticky goodness.\n\nAs a toddler, she visited stalls in Seoul that offered the Korean deal with through the winter. “It was torture, standing there within the chilly” with the joyful scent of sugar and cinnamon filling the air, she stated.\n\nNowadays, Ms. Joo, 47, a chef and cookbook writer, makes her personal hotteok at house on the Higher West Aspect of Manhattan. She combines bread flour with candy rice flour, and stuffs every pancake with a filling of muscovado, peanuts, cinnamon and salt, then fries the plump rounds till they’re a superb golden brown.\n\nHotteok (pronounced someplace between HO-tuck and HO-duck) is available in each candy and savory variations, from mozzarella to matcha, although the cinnamon-and-sugar filling is among the many hottest these days. At Jinjuu, the Korean restaurant in London that Ms. Joo ran till 2019, certainly one of her top-selling dishes was a Snickers-inspired hotteok, with a filling of salted caramel, chocolate ganache, peanut butter and praline.\n\nRegardless of all that innovation, JinJoo Lee, 55, who writes the Korean-food weblog Kimchimari, stated the dish feels extra nostalgic to individuals of her era, who grew up within the Seventies and ’80s. For them, it’s paying homage to a time when there was little international affect on South Korean meals, as that nation was below authoritarian rule.\n\nBut hotteok itself is a product of out of doors forces. It was delivered to the nation by Chinese language immigrants within the late nineteenth century, as an adaptation of bing. The candy variation turned widespread within the Fifties and ’60s, when American international support after the Korean Struggle introduced cheap wheat and sugar to the nation. Hotteok was low cost to make and promote — handy for a time when South Korea’s financial system was struggling.\n\nAt present’s younger Koreans could not have grown up with hotteok, Ms. Lee stated. The truth is, many meals stalls that offered hotteok are actually gone, as the federal government severely restricted avenue distributors through the 1988 Olympic Video games in Seoul, claiming that the stalls made the town much less walkable.\n\nHowever lately, as these younger individuals have reached maturity, many have rediscovered hotteok, she stated. “It’s making a comeback.”\n\n“With the recognition of Ok-dramas and Ok-pop, there’s an curiosity in Korean meals,” stated John Lie, a professor of sociology on the College of California, Berkeley. (Members of the Korean pop band BTS lately posted on-line photographs of themselves consuming hotteok.) “Each the Ok-pop Stars and Korean drama stars, they’re consistently consuming Korean meals.”\n\nAt Jua, a Korean tasting-menu restaurant in Manhattan, the chef Hoyoung Kim serves hotteok as the ultimate course, pan-fried to order and lacquered with a syrup product of muscovado. He wished to point out that the standard dish may very well be a part of a fine-dining expertise."

"The Indiana Court of Appeals recently published a decision that is instructive about noncompete agreements. In Zollinger v. Wagner-Meinert Eng’g, LLC, 146 N.E.3d 1160 (Ind. Ct. App., April 23, 2020), the court was faced with interpreting a combination of employment agreements and sale agreements that contained various restrictive covenants. It is one of the rare noncompete cases that does not contain the phrase: “Indiana courts are reluctant to enforce noncompete agreements because they constitute a restraint on trade.”\n\nThe scene is set\n\nWayne Zollinger worked for a mechanical contracting company. He became a vice president and part-owner of the company. A newly formed company bought the assets and business of Zollinger’s employer, and Zollinger received a hefty $1.8 million for his portion of the sale proceeds. Zollinger also acquired an ownership interest in the new company and served as its vice president of operations at a salary of $242,000 per year. Zollinger signed three agreements as part of these deals: 1) an asset purchase agreement governing the sale of his original employer to the new company; 2) an operating agreement as part of his ownership in the new company; and 3) an employment agreement as a condition of employment with the new company. The agreements contained noncompete and nonsolicit clauses.\n\nThe operating agreement kept Zollinger from engaging in specific activities for 42 months after termination of his employment. He could not have “any ownership interest in, work for, advise, or have any business connection or business relationship with any person or entity that competes with” the company. The second relevant provision provided that he could not “perform, in any capacity, activity related to management, product development, product processes and techniques, recruiting, sales or administration for any firm or business which is engaged in similar business as” the company “in the geographic area served by” the company.\n\nThe employment agreement kept him from competing with the company for two years. The term “compete” was defined as “to engage or seek to engage in activities the same as or substantially similar to the duties performed by [Zollinger] for [the company] during the 24 months preceding the termination of [Zollinger’s] employment … for a person or entity engaged in a business substantially similar to the business of” the company. It was limited to the “same geographic area” Zollinger worked in during his last two years with the company.\n\nA few years later, the majority member of the company bought out the other members, including Zollinger, who received over $1.3 million for his interest (at a profit to him of almost $1 million). As part of that sale, Zollinger was contractually bound to continue his employment and the earlier employment agreement was continued.\n\nThree years later, Zollinger was terminated for submitting false expense reports. The company suspected that Zollinger was considering working for a competitor, but he advised the company that he did not anticipate having “conversation” with any of the company’s “customers.” Without awaiting further details, the company filed a declaratory judgment action against Zollinger. The company moved for summary judgement and was successful. The trial court ordered Zollinger to comply with the restrictions. After the summary judgment order, the company amended its complaint to add a claim of breach of contract because Zollinger was performing consulting work for a competitor. After a bench trial, the trial court concluded that Zollinger’s work for the competitor violated both the operating and the employment agreements. It entered an injunction requiring Zollinger to comply with the restrictions and ordered Zollinger to pay the company’s attorney fees and expenses. Zollinger appealed.\n\nThe Court of Appeals affirms\n\nThe court then cited Dicen v. New Sesco, Inc., 839 N.E.2d 684, 687 (Ind. 2005), for the proposition that “(c)ovenants not to compete are enforceable if they are reasonable.” The court reiterated the different standards by which covenants are reviewed. In typical employment contracts, the covenants are reviewed under a “skeptical” standard, but covenants that arise in relation to the sale of a business are subject to a more “liberal” standard. The court determined that the more liberal standard would be applied to Zollinger because the agreements were part of the sale of a business. The court appeared to be less persuaded by Zollinger’s arguments as a result of the significant amount of money he made, his long-standing ownership interests and his status as a “sophisticated businessman.”\n\nHaving found the covenants to be reasonable, the court then analyzed whether they were enforceable against Zollinger. Zollinger argued there was no proof he had shared any confidential information with the competitor. That argument was dismissed because the operating agreement provided that he could not have ownership in, work for, advise or have any business connection or business relationship with a competitor. The court then went into a lengthy discussion of the similarities between the company and the competitor and the overlap of the work Zollinger performed for the two companies. There was a laundry list of activities that Zollinger performed for the competitor that he had previously performed for the company. Therefore, the trial court’s decision that Zollinger had violated the operating agreement and the employment agreement was affirmed. The trial court’s award of attorney fees also was affirmed, and the Court of Appeals awarded appellate attorney fees as a result of the appeal.\n\nAlthough Zollinger has requested transfer to the Indiana Supreme Court (which had not issued its decision on transfer as of IL deadline), the lessons to be learned from the Zollinger case show the importance of the different standards that apply if the covenants are contained in an employment agreement as contrasted with a sale agreement. Even though Zollinger’s employment agreement was entered into separately, it was done so as part of an overall sale agreement. Thus, the more liberal standard applied.\n\nThe case demonstrates the importance of the former employee’s status with the employer asserting the noncompete agreement. Zollinger had made substantial sums of money both in his employment and with the sale of the company. He had “bargaining power” when it came to negotiating the agreements. As a result, the court demonstrated less sympathy for him.\n\nFurther, the case underlines how important it is to incorporate earlier covenants or create new ones when a business is being sold. Such agreements should reinforce or renew the restrictive covenants that existed with the prior employer.\n\nMore than anything else, the case shows that, under the appropriate circumstances, noncompete agreements can and will be enforced in Indiana.•",

"There are several scientific, technological ways roads are engineered to minimize accidents and maximize safe driving behaviors. The goal is always to achieve Vision Zero – eliminating roadway fatalities. This is Part 2 of the 3-part series on Technology and Your Drive.",

"Originally, pavement markings used to delineate lanes were paint, but many roads now utilize tape. The tape is much more reflective, making it easier for drivers to see. Black tape is often added alongside white tape now on concrete roadways to provide more contrast and make markings more conspicuous. Additionally, the tape only needs to be replaced about every six years, whereas painted lines typically need to be redone almost every year.\n\nDesignated speed limits are of course meant to be followed, but traffic officers are not always around to enforce it. Higher speeds can lead to more severe, and potentially deadly, crashes. To mitigate this, many roads now utilize Dynamic Speed Feedback signs. \"These signs have a built-in radar unit to measure, display, and sometimes record the speed of oncoming vehicles,\" Devin Joslin, Navjoy Traffic Operations Division Manager, explained.\n\nCameras, when paired with a carrier ethernet technology or a fiber network discussed in part 1 [LINK], can be essential in speeding up incident response. With older cameras, TMC operators can get an incident report and then tune into that area or intersection to provide first responders more details or monitor other areas of concern near the incident. These insights ensure the incident is handled more effectively. Additionally, more advanced cameras available today have the ability to automatically detect incidents, such as topped vehicles or wrong-way drivers, and send real-time alerts, which greatly improves response times.",
null,
"Another easily overlooked aspect of technology is the details that go into traffic signs. There's a lot most people don't know about the intricacies and science of traffic signs. For example, \"sign sheeting and fabrication techniques have advanced tremendously over the years,\" Joslin said. \"The reflective sheeting CDOT uses now is expected to last more than 10 years. CDOT also treats signs with a protective UV coating and an anti-graffiti layer so the signs are more resistant to fading, and paint and debris are much easier to clean off.\" These key details ensure drivers are prepared for road conditions and expectations as best as possible at all times.\n\nThe detailed science that goes into paving a road is extensive. Most roads in the United States are made of asphalt concrete. Yet, each road could have a different paving mixture and thickness depending on factors such as traffic volumes and percentage of heavy trucks, underlying ground support and available drainage. Pavement design is an important part of roadway maintenance. When the road is damaged, it can cause congestion, crashes, and car damage. Additionally, if pavement is not regularly maintained, the entire road might have to be reconstructed at a significant cost.\n\nThere is so much technology, science and detail that goes into each of these roadway components. Without any one of these, your drive may end up a lot less pleasant."

"Tom Hiddleston has managed to garner a massive fan following in a very short period, thanks to his breakout role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Loki. He has redefined the meaning of the word Charming, and we don’t think that there is anyone out there who can resist his amazing smile.\n\nOnly a few characters have been able to redeem themselves in the MCU, and the character of Loki is one of them, as, by the end, the fans loved him more than the superheroes who were trying to save the world.\n\nHere are 10 amazing “Low-Key” facts about the villain we just can’t hate.\n\nBefore stealing the hearts of so many people with the help of his charm Tom Hiddleston used to play Rugby at Cambridge University. It is very surprising to know after looking at the build of Hiddleston that he was a rugby player, but let’s not judge a book by its cover. He decided to give up Rugby for his love of acting.",
null,
"It is an amazing coincidence that when Hiddleston was studying in the boarding school Eton College, he had not one, but two prominent celebrities as his classmates. Prince William and Eddie Redmayne, both studies in the same class as Tom Hiddleston.",
null,
"The God of Mischief, a cunning trickster who has the ability to outsmart everyone has a phobia of Sharks and we do not blame him, Sharks are apex predators who have managed to put the fear of God, in a God.",
null,
"Is there anything that Tom Hiddleston cannot do? Apparently, there is no such thing, as it turns out he is a good singer as well. He sang all his vocals for his performance as Hank Williams in “I Saw the Light”. He recorded most of his songs in the studio and lip-synced them while filming, except two songs, which he sang live on camera while filming.\n\n#6: He is a huge fan of Shakespeare",
null,
"Hiddleston has spoken about his love for Shakespeare on many occasions, he has even stated that he feels most alive while performing Shakespeare. He proved this by giving a powerful performance as the lead in Shakespeare’s “Coriolanus” at Donmar warehouse. He won the Best Male Principal Performance Award at the 2014 Falstaff Awards.\n\n#7: His Family had no links with the entertainment industry\n\nTom Hiddleston is one of the most loved stars today and that is all thanks to his hard work. His family had to relations with Hollywood. Tom Hiddleston was born in Westminster, London and his mother Diana Patricia, was an Arts administer and former stage manager whereas his father, James Norman Hiddleston was a Chemist.\n\n#8: His father did not want him to Act\n\nWhen Tom was only beginning his journey to becoming an actor, his father did not approve of this profession. Acting was completely new from anything they ever knew, and he just could not see that it was a real job. He was genuinely worried that Tom would be bored and unfulfilled.\n\n#9: His sister works as a Journalist in India",
null,
"Tom Hiddleston has a very big connection with India, as his sister Sarah Hiddleston works as Journalist in India. Tom has admitted that India is his second home, as her sister stays in India. It is a very surprising fact as even after becoming such a big star, only a few people knew this about him.",

"There have been plenty of Xbox One Deals since the announcement of the new versions of the console, but this Best Buy deal may be the best one yet.\n\nIf you haven't made the move to the Xbox One yet, you're probably holding out for the Xbox One S or Project Scorpio. But if you're just hoping for a great deal on the console, then Best Buy might have you covered.\n\nWhile that's a pretty standard bundle, it's the extras Best Buy is packing in that make it really attractive. First up, is a $50 Best Buy gift card. Then there's the Xbox One Special Edition Covert Forces Wireless Controller. Next are Xbox One copies of Mad Max and Batman: Arkham Knight. Finally, it includes am Insignia battery charging station for your wireless controller batteries.\n\nIt's a lot of goodies in a bundle, to be sure. But I imagine that we'll see more bundles like this in an effort to clear out the remaining inventory of original Xbox One consoles, as the Xbox One S becomes available next month. If you're interested, you can check out this bundle on the Best Buy website"

"My Senatorial Ambition Is For Kogi West’s Development – Niyi Olayemi\n\nA philanthropist and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kogi State, Hon. Otunba Adeniyi Olayemi, has reiterated the fact that he has the capacity to give good representation to Kogi West Senatorial District at the National Assembly come 2023.\n\nSpeaking to media men last weekend, the philanthropist said his desire to go to the Red Chamber was not for the fun of it, but to ensure more development comes to Kogi West and other senatorial districts under Kogi State.\n\nOlayemi revealed that having consulted with his immediate family, the Okun, Lokoja, Koton-Karfe people and stakeholders from the other ethnic groups that fall under Kogi West Senatorial District, he was confident that the time has come for him to represent his people.\n\nThe PDP stalwart, also declared that Kogi West deserved more projects and development even as those who represented the district as senators in the past had worked tirelessly to achieve this.\n\nWhile soliciting the support of the people in the district to ensure he emerges victorious both in the primary and the general elections, Olayemi noted that his performance in the senate if elected would double that of the past senators.\n\nHe said : “As the occupant of the seat of Kogi Western senatorial district, I will be the voice of my people, I will hold regular interactive sessions with them to get their views and not impose mine on them. It is what they want that will be their constituency projects. I will do so much to strengthen cooperative societies because they remain one easiest way to raise funds likewise Community Development Associations, CDAs. My ambition will do so much to seek for the prosperity of our people”.\n\n“Am not going to the Senate because am Okun. My aspiration is not ethnic but knowledge and capacity based.”\n\nHe also advised the people not to regard elections as a do-or-die affair, explaining that Nigerians should continue to play politics without bitterness."

"Mani Bhavan, located in Mumbai (Maharashtra State) is one of the most important Gandhi Memorial Museums in the country. A one-time residence of the Father of the Nation, it now stands as a source of inspiration for freedom and peace loving men and women from all over the world.\n\nMahatma Gandhi lived in this quaint Gujarati-style house from 1917 to 1934. This was also the place where he, in November of 1921, did a 4-day fast in order to restore peace to the city.\n\nThis quiet three-story home now preserves the spirit of the man who selflessly put his nation before himself. There’s a library of Gandhi-related works, as well as displays of photographs, posters, slogans, and other items that document and explain Gandhi’s legendary life; dioramas depicting major events and turning points in his fight for the nation’s freedom draw particular attention to his devotion to the poor.\n\nThe library on the ground floor houses about 50,000 books by and on Gandhi and related subjects, in the reference and lending sections.\nOn the first floor is the auditorium where films on Gandhiji are shown from time to time and recordings of his speeches are played on request. There is space for holding meetings, seminars, discussions and various competitions for school and college students arranged by the Gandhi Study Circle.\n\nYou can see Gandhi’s old charkha (spinning wheel), which in many ways symbolized the struggle for independence, and which now appears on the Indian flag. A visit to this tranquil spot makes a welcome change from the continuous hubbub of life in Mumbai — go up to the roof to really appreciate the relative stillness of the surrounding Parsi neighborhood.\n\nIt will be noted that it was in Mumbai where Gandhi, after one of his many arrests, spent time and learned to spin and drink goat’s milk. This was also where he initiated strikes against English laws, started one of his many newspapers and worked as a social worker.\n\nMost of the rooms, including the one used as Gandhi as his living room and working space, have been preserved as best as possible as they looked when Gandhi was still alive."

"Adapted by Monkey Baa in 2014 from the picture book by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, with foot-tapping music and lyrics by Phil Scott and comedic direction by Jonathan Biggins, Pete the Sheep is a lively and mischievous award-winning musical for young audiences and their adults.\n\nShaun isn’t like the other Shearers in Shaggy Gully… he’d rather be styling than shearing and instead of ‘sheep-dog’, he has a ‘sheep-sheep’ named Pete. After being rejected by the shearers and their dogs, Shaun and Pete set up their own Shearing Salon in town and before long word is out and they are inundated with woolly clients and maybe a Ringer or two!\n\nThis hilarious show, imaginatively told by four performers playing shearers, dogs and sheep explores the challenges and rewards of being an individual and will be a lasting tribute to honoring your own spirit and strength, whilst working with the flock.\n\nPete the Sheep Workshop: Why not join our pre-show workshop, being held Friday 9 July at 2pm.

"Amy opens with brilliant and, in its way, heartbreaking footage of a 14 year-old Amy Winehouse and a friend singing Happy Birthday at a party. Even though she’s singing deliberately off-key and going over-the-top (as we all tend to do when we sing Happy Birthday), you can tell that Amy was a star from the beginning. She’s obviously enjoying performing and being the center of attention and, try as you might, it’s impossible not to contrast the joy of her Happy Birthday with the sadness of her later life.\n\nA star whose music touched millions (including me), Amy Winehouse was ultimately betrayed by a world that both wanted to take advantage of her talent and to revel in her subsequent notoriety. It’s often said the Amy was self-destructive but, if anything, the world conspired to destroy her. By focusing on footage of Amy both in public and private and eschewing the usual “talking head” format of most documentaries, Amy pays tribute to both Amy Winehouse and reminds us of what a great talent we all lost in 2011.",

"The Mexican film Gloria is a musical biopic of Gloria Trevi (played by Sofia Espinosa), a singer whose subversive songs and sexual image made her a superstar in Latin America and challenged the conventional morality of Catholic-dominated establishment. Her manager and lover was the controversial Sergio Andrade (Marco Perez). The movie follows Gloria from her first audition for the manipulative Sergio to her arrest (along with Sergio) on charges of corrupting minors. It’s an interesting and still controversial story and Gloria tells it well, with Espinosa and Perez both giving excellent performances.",

"The Bellas are back! As I think I’ve mentioned a few times on this site, I really loved the first Pitch Perfect. In fact, I loved it so much that I was a bit concerned about the sequel. After all, sequels are never as good as the original and I was dreading the idea of the legacy of the first film being tarnished.\n\nBut the sequel actually works pretty well. It’s a bit more cartoonish than the first film. After three years at reigning ICCA champions, the Bellas are expelled from competition after Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) accidentally flashes the President. The only way for the Bellas to get the suspension lifted is to win the World Championship of A Capella. The plot, to be honest, really isn’t that important. You’re watching the film for the music and the interplay of the Bellas and, on those two counts, the film totally delivers.\n\nIt should be noted that Elizabeth Banks had a great 2015. Not only did she give a great performance in Love & Mercy but she also made a respectable feature directing debut with Pitch Perfect 2.",

"It’s interesting how opinions can change. For the longest time, I really liked Tina Fey and I thought that Amy Poehler was kind of overrated. But, over the past two years, I’ve changed my opinion. Now, I like Amy Poehler and Tina Fey kind of gets on my nerves. The best way that I can explain it is to say that Tina Fey just seems like the type who would judge me for wearing a short skirt and that would get old quickly, seeing as how I happen to like showing off my legs.\n\nAnyway, in Sisters, Tina and Amy play sisters! (Shocking, I know.) Amy is the responsible one who has just gotten a divorce and who wants to make everyone’s life better. Tina is the irresponsible one who refuses to accept that she’s no longer a teenager. When their parents announce that they’re selling the house where they grew up, Amy and Tina decide to throw one last party. Complications ensue.\n\nI actually had two very different reactions to Sisters. On the one hand, as a self-declared film critic, it was easy for me to spot the obvious flaw with Sisters. Tina and Amy should have switched roles because Tina Fey is simply not believable as someone who lives to have fun. Sometimes, it’s smart to cast against type but it really doesn’t work here.\n\nHowever, as the youngest of four sisters, there was a lot of Sisters that I related to. I saw Sisters with my sister, the Dazzling Erin, and even if the film did not work overall, there were still a lot of little scenes that made us smile and go, “That’s just like us.” In fact, I think they should remake Sisters and they should let me and Erin star in it.",

"There were a lot of very good spy films released in 2015 and SPECTRE was not one of them. In fact, the more I think about it, the more disappointed I am with the latest Bond film. It’s not so much that SPECTRE was terrible as there just wasn’t anything particular memorable about it. When we watch a film about secret agents saving the world, we expect at least a few memorable lines and performances.\n\nNow, if you want to see a memorable spy movie, I suggest seeing Spy. Not only is Spy one of the funniest movies of the year, it’s also a pretty good espionage film. Director Paul Feig manages to strike the perfect balance between humor and action. One of the joys of seeing CIA employee Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) finally get to enter the field and do spy stuff is the fact that there are real stakes involved. Susan is not only saving the world but, in the film’s best scenes, she’s having a lot of fun doing it and, for that matter, McCarthy is obviously having a lot of fun playing Susan and those of us in the audience are having a lot of fun watching as well.\n\nSpy also features Jason Statham as a more traditional action hero. Statham is hilarious as he sends up his own macho image. Seriously, who would have guessed that he could such a funny actor? Here’s hoping that he, McCarthy, and Feig will all return for the inevitable sequel.",

"There’s a lot of great things that can be said about Trainwreck. Not only was it the funniest film of 2015 but it also announced to the world that Amy Schumer’s a star. It was a romantic comedy for the 21st Century, one that defied all of the conventional BS about what has to happen in a romcom. This a film for all of us because, let’s just be honest here, we’ve all been a trainwreck at some point in our life.\n\nBut for me, the heart of the film was truly to be found in the relationship between Amy and her younger sister, Kim (Brie Larson). Whether fighting over what to do with their irresponsible father (Colin Quinn) or insulting each other’s life choices, their relationship is the strongest part of the film. If Brie Larson wasn’t already guaranteed an Oscar nomination for Room, I’d demand that she get one for Trainwreck. For that matter, Amy Schumer deserves one as well.\n\nSeriously, it’s about time the trainwrecks of the world had a film that we could truly call our own."

"The Republicans have a crisis of conscience on their hands, no question. We’ll see who steps up and who continues to make excuses.\n\nTheir party, from leaders to ardent supporters and certainly an ugly subset of followers, is responsible for the wreckage. Fully responsible.\n\nThe rest of us can wallow in condemnation, sure. Point at the seeds of all this, which to me were obvious going back to the Birther nonsense. Complain how Vice President Mike Pence waited so long to have his short spark of independent leadership, for Sen. Lindsey Graham briefly to point out the emperor had no clothes, all that.\n\nA hard core of tribal partisans of course will dig in, scare up all the what-aboutism they can muster, rephrase “stolen election” without a shred of true evidence into earnest concern about the election process.\n\nThey don’t yet realize the depth of outrage from the World War Z-like swarming of the Capitol, the People’s House. That’s not a couple of blocks in downtown Seattle, or Portland, appalling and stupid as that nightly rioting was. Outraged Democrats indeed have their share of owning up to do, as well. Just not on this scale.\n\nNo, this was among the very lowest points in the two and a half centuries we’ve been a democratic republic.\n\nIt seems Republicans of principle — there is actual evidence they exist — will have to take their party back or join the exodus. Indeed, the party left them a while ago. It did me, finally, with the election of exactly the wrong president in 2016. Not that the choices were particularly great, granted.\n\nThis isn’t about a Dear Leader’s personality quirks, after all. The timber of the true him has been there all along. The party regulars, the evangelicals, the conservatives in their zeal to steer the ship of state in a more moral, more business-friendly direction turned a blind eye to the shoals we all would enter with this guy.\n\nThe storming of the Capitol put the lie to MAGA for everyone who can still see. That’s a little hard to “what about …?” away. But plenty are trying.\n\nFamilies are tearing asunder. I’m watching it happen in mine. Denial is cresting, maybe a first step in the many stages back to this world. Yet still some loved ones are doubling down and making up new alternate realities to go with the whoppers that incited the mob.\n\nI’m tempted to suggest, wide eyed, with particularly gullible friends and family that if antifa masquerading as “patriots,” say, were really the ones storming the Capitol, well then, the deepest under must be the president himself. That makes as much sense as anything in a conspiracy nut crackpot sort of way. And no, this is not my belief. I know the closest we get to the truth is not the propaganda sites to the left and the right, but the ol’ lamestream news organizations, shot through with error as they may be.\n\nThe president failing to be straight with his followers hasn’t helped. Worse, the politicians reading which way the winds of power might blow have gone along with the big lie.\n\nYes, I’m also concerned about where Democratic governance might go, seeing the disastrous turns from California’s supermajority leadership. A drive to San Francisco shows exactly how successful progressive policies and decisions have played out for a top priority, homelessness, for example.\n\nBut please, this is America. Flawed as it may be, we have the best system in the world for holding fair elections, checking and rechecking results, for appealing appropriately through the courts and so on to keep us from becoming another banana republic. The president, by his words and actions, plainly has been fine with that outcome if he only can remain in power.\n\nRepublicans have a lot to think about. Not that Democrats don’t. But in this remarkable moment, it’s the party of Lincoln unstitching the fabric that holds an exceptional country together.\n\nMembers can dodge and shirk, as plenty surely are. Or, as a few are doing with real courage, they can begin to lead responsibly. This is the remnant of the party I’m cheering for. The one that chooses the true right side of history.",

"The Impact Of Adventure Tourism On The Welsh Economy",
null,
"With the imminent arrival of more new and innovative adventure activities to North Wales for 2017, I was really interested to find out what had been the catalyst for this growth, what had supported the growth and what it meant to the Welsh Economy; it’s a question many people consider when looking at investing in the area.\n\nIn 2014, the North Wales outdoor activity business was worth £480m with approx 600 providers, creating just over 8000 jobs. The main barriers to growth at the time were identified as environmental restrictions put in place to safeguard the area’s natural resources and a lack of marketing; there was not a common voice for all the independents letting people know what Wales had to offer.\n\nVisit Wales ran a report were findings showed that 50% of the revenue generated on adventure activities was generated from people coming to North Wales were visiting for the sole for the purpose of taking part in an activity adventure. This was due to the landscape that naturally lends itself to providing better conditions to partake in the activities compared to other places in the UK. This included the diversity of the mountain ranges, the water systems and the new and exclusive adventure activities like Zip World. Interestingly, 54% of them were staying over night to enable them to take part in the activity; demonstrating not only the strength of pull adventure activities had on drawing people to area, but also the positive impact it had on other business area’s e.g. accommodation providers and food suppliers.\n\nIn 2016, Visit Wales launched a marketing campaign called the Year Of Adventure which celebrated and highlighted everything Wales has to offer in terms of adventure. #Find You Epic was the tag line and high profile ambassadors such as Bear Grylls were put in place which helped elevate the campaign to the international stage. This advertising campaign exponentially supported the new activity providers that had arrived in North Wales that had bought with them new, exciting and never been seen before activities – Zip World bought us the worlds longest zip line and the first ever underground trampolines suspended from the inside of an excavated cavern. Surf Snowdonia bought us the worlds first artificial wave garden, which bought kudos along with a new clientele to North Wales by putting it on the map and radar of the internationally growing surf culture.\n\n“This is going to be a very exciting year for Zip World and for North Wales. A few years back Scotland and the Lake District were talking about being the adventure capital. North Wales has now blown them out of the water.\n\nWe want to keep building on the momentum which is why we are investing £5.5m over the year. Zip World will now be able to offer packages to people coming here, 12 different adventures that people can book and get discounts on. They can come for a few days, even a week and do everything. We want to share our customers as well though, so that restaurants, hotels and other adventure attractions benefit. We are bringing affluent people here because while we provide value for money we are not cheap, the whole area can benefit.\n\nSo what happened….. North Wales is now listed in the top 10 places to go in the world by the Lonely Planet. It is the best place in the UK to visit according to Wanderlust magazine. We are in the top 10 places for walking, in the top 5 most epic train routes and the list keeps growing. Zip World alone injected a cool £121m into the welsh economy, created 218 jobs and bought half a million visitors to the area. 2016 saw Tourism bring a staggering £2bln into the North Wales economy – now I knew it would be good, but the figures far out weighted my expectations and just further cements my belief that North Wales just goes from strength to strength.",

"Chinese drivers will have the opportunity of using bioethanol fuel from 2020 benefiting the country's ecology and environment and contributing to the development of agriculture and Chinese regions' economy.\n\nBEIJING (Sputnik) – The Chinese authorities plan to ensure conditions for the use of bioethanol fuel across the country by 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission as well as the National Energy Administration (NEA) said Wednesday.\n\nAccording to the program for the development of manufacture and the use of bioethanol adopted on Wednesday, the Chinese authorities plan to create the advanced system for the production of such fuel in accordance with the international standards, as well as the needed infrastructure for its use nationwide.\n\n© AP Photo / Andy Wong\nChina’s Upcoming Transition to Electric Cars 'Will Benefit the Whole Economy'\nThe program also envisages plans for ensuring the reliable protection for bioethanol supplies and control over its manufacture. The authorities will encourage innovation in the area as well as undertake active measures aimed at popularization of bioethanol fuel use among the drivers.\n\nThe increased manufacture of biofuel on the basis of ethanol is strategically important for China as such actions will contribute to the energy infrastructure optimization and will benefit ecology and environment. Also, the extended use of bioethanol is expected to contribute to the development of agriculture and Chinese regions' economy, according to the document.\n\nChina launched its corn-to-ethanol projects back in the 2000s in a bid to cut emissions and advance the use of alternative energy sources."

"Leading from the east\n\nTime for Poland to start punching its weight\n\nTHE ex-communist states of eastern Europe have been economic success stories but political failures in recent years. Since eight former captive nations joined the European Union in 2004, and two more in 2007, they have said and done little to engage the enthusiasm or interest of the outside world. Apart from Estonia's cerebral and worldly-wise president, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, it is hard to think of any politician in the region with a serious claim to international importance.\n\nThe biggest vacuum has been in Warsaw. Poland is the largest new EU member; in both population and economic importance, it is more than twenty times bigger than Estonia. But a dismally inadequate foreign policy since 2005 has meant that it has punched far below its weight.",

"Now that can change. Poland's new government has a historic chance to lead the whole ex-communist region in the cause of liberalisation, competitiveness and economic security. Low productivity and fragmentation in service industries, for example, are among Europe's most grievous weaknesses.\n\nCross-border competition in goods has already cut prices, stoked growth and raised standards. The same could happen in services: all that is needed is the political oomph to overcome the vested interests that previously derailed discussion of a single services-market. All the ex-communist countries want liberalisation. With effective leadership from Poland, they can get it.\n\nSimilarly, Poland should open its labour market more fully to workers from Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova and encourage the other new EU members to do the same. Just as workers from Poland, Latvia and elsewhere have gained skills, contacts and know-how from working in Britain and Ireland, the new EU members can offer the same kind of knowledge transfer to the countries to their east.\n\nThat would unsettle the Kremlin too: the worst news for the peddlers of authoritarian crony-capitalism would be a confident, prosperous and well-travelled citizenry in the countries of the former Soviet Union. Poland can make that happen.\n\nPoland should also push for greater fairness in the management of the euro zone. Those who want the European Central Bank to remain a manageable club for rich countries were, scandalously, allowed to rob Lithuania of its chance to adopt the euro in January, when it missed the inflation target by what most economists would regard as a trivial rounding error.\n\nPoland should have been in the forefront of protests about that, but its government was, as usual, distracted. Now Slovakia risks being kept out, heightening the danger of a two-speed Europe in which the ex-communist countries will be perpetually consigned to the slow lane.\n\nOne possible tactic would be for Poland to line up half a dozen ex-communist countries behind a goal of unilaterally adopting the euro by, say, 2010. That would concentrate minds in Frankfurt.\n\nThirdly, Poland should lead by example on energy security. The squabbles and indecision over the planned joint Baltic-Polish nuclear power plant in Lithuania have been startling. If even the countries most menaced by Russia's energy imperialism cannot agree on the details of this urgently needed project, what chance is there of the rest of Europe taking energy security seriously?\n\nThe previous government's amateurish efforts to diversify gas supply were equally ill-starred. Poland should push for EU money to go towards interconnecting pipelines and power lines between the member states. If international rail and road projects can gain such generous support, why not the energy infrastructure too?\n\nSo the EU, after years of introspection, is finally ready for new ideas, just as Poland is returning to the European mainstream. The coincidence could hardly be happier."

"New and only on iwonder from Thursday July 22nd comes ‘Aswang’, the shocking story of how President Rodrigo Duterte of The Philippines has unleashed real-life demons onto his streets as part of a brutal drug war which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands since he came to power in 2016.\n\n‘Aswang’ is a term in the Philippines for witches, vampires, ghosts and werewolves—a collection of shape-shifting evil spirits that feature heavily in local myths and popular films. But since President Duterte took office, ‘Aswang’ have been appearing in real life in Manila.\n\nIn Duterte’s drug war, death squads have shot, tortured and kidnapped tens of thousands of drug users, dealers and innocent bystanders, as police officers are allegedly given free rein to use brutal violence directed at the poorest sections of society. These extra-judicial killings have now been named as crimes against humanity by Amnesty International.\n\nThe multi-award winning Aswang follows a group of people whose lives have been caught up in these events: a journalist who tries to make a stand against lawlessness, a coroner, a missionary who comforts bereaved family members, and a street kid with parents in prison and friends in the cemetery.\n\nBreathlessly following the everyday struggle of those whose lives have been radically affected by the regime, Aswang is a shocking account of unprecedented violence and the brazen assault on freedoms by a Government and its President which still enjoy support from voters, while countless others at home and abroad look on with horror.\n\niwonder CEO, James Bridges, says of the film: “This chilling full-length documentary directorial debut from Alyx Ayn Arumpac is a powerful account of the terror that has gripped the streets of Manila since President Duterte’s brutal war on drugs began. As Duterte hints at a vice-presidential run in the 2022 elections to extend his legacy, Aswang serves as a message in a bottle from some of the country’s most vulnerable communities who continue to live in the real fear of a late night raid by state-sponsored executioners.”\n\nViewers new to iwonder can watch Aswang for free by signing up to the 14-day free trial period, while also gaining access to 1,000+ other acclaimed documentary films and series. Priced at $6.99 monthly or $69.90 annually, viewers can enjoy iwonder on their mobile phones via iOS and Android apps, browsers at www.iwonder.com, with Telstra TV, Apple TV, Android TV or through Google Chromecast or Apple’s Airplay.",

"Just weeks after PayPal claimed that its new “misinformation” policy — which would fine users up to $2,500 for spreading ‘misinformation’ — was the result of an error, some Twitter users have pointed out that the policy remains in place. Massive backlash to the move — which included Congressional inquiries and criticism from company co-founder Elon Musk — prompted the company to blame an error and claim the policy would not take effect. The company does list “providing false, inaccurate or misleading information” under the “Restricted Activities” section of its user agreement. The $2,500 potential fine for violating the policy remains in place as well.\n\nA report from Daily Wire previously shed light on PayPal’s plans to expand its “existing list of prohibited activities” when its new user agreement takes effect on November 3.\n\nAmong the proposed changes were prohibitions on “the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials” that “promote misinformation” or “present a risk to user safety or wellbeing.” Users were also to be barred from “the promotion of hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.”\n\nAccording to the proposed policy update, decisions were to be made at the “sole discretion” of PayPal and may subject the user to “damages” — including the removal of $2,500 “debited directly from your PayPal account” per offense.\n\nThe company’s Acceptable Use agreement contains a provision under which users acknowledge that the figure is “presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages.” The payment-processing giant claims that this figure accounts for the company’s administrative costs for tracking violations, as well as damage to the company’s reputation.\n\nAfter news of the proposed changes sparked significant backlash, the company put out a statement in which it denied the changes and blamed the draft policy on an “error.”\n\n“An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information. PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy… We’re sorry for the confusion this has caused,” the company wrote in a press release.\n\nOn Wednesday, weeks after the October 8 press release, Twitter users pointed out that the misinformation fine policy was still included in the company’s Acceptable Use policy. The policy is indeed there, with “providing false, inaccurate or misleading information” listed under the “Restricted Activities” section.\n\nWhile the misinformation policy appears to be intact, the company has also maintained the right to fine users for violations of its User Agreement policy since September 2021.\n\nPayPal’s stock price dipped significantly in the days following the backlash to the policy. Hundreds of users claimed to have deleted their accounts as a result.\n\nThe controversy now appears to have been reignited."

"For a Presents annual (or oversized special), this one has a lot of solid work.\n\nPearson’s Body Bags is a fun diversion. The art’s great and the story moves. It gets a little visually confusing, but it’s good.\n\nAnd Verheiden (with Marrinan) finally produces a decent installment of The American. It’s a thoughtful story, very well written.\n\nArcudi and Musgrove’s The Oven Traveler is dumb. It’s a one page story dragged to four.\n\nAliens (from Smith and Morrow) is atrocious. It’s Aliens meets Westworld. If it weren’t terrible, it’d be an interesting genre mix—plus, Morrow can’t draw the aliens. They look awkward and goofy, not at all frightening.\n\nJillette and French’s Rheumy Peepers and Chunky Highlights is overwritten but mildly diverting….\n\nStephens and Allred’s The Stiff is decent, if too silly.\n\nThen there’s a decent Pope finish. It’s a talking heads story, which seems like a waste of Pope."

"The following list is a run-down of the best open world environments to explore in video games. The games on this list all have a beautiful or fascinating world with a free roam aspect. However I have not just thrown in obvious choices into this list. I know that Fallout 4 has an amazing open world experience but I have not actually managed to pick it up yet. It would feel disingenuous to write about it as if I knew it well.",
null,
"The blockbuster fifth instalment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise tops this list for having an enormous open world with infinite potential. Los Santos feels like a real place, it is a simple as that. With this living, breathing world I believe Rockstar created the most authentic free roam environment ever. Rockstar worked tirelessly to eliminate that issue in open world games that prevents you from being truly immersed which is repetition. When the same NPCs show up over and over again or when characters repeat lines of dialogue, you are taken out of the experience. GTA V avoids that issue entirely, it feels like the civilians on the street are completely unique and do not repeat themselves constantly. The streets of Los Santos are constantly thriving, the roads are full of vehicles, it feels like a living region. The fact that crimes and random events take place mean that there is never a dull moment in Los Santos. It is also one of the largest open worlds I have ever seen, it actually has multiple regions that are all unique in their own way. This adds to the diversity of the place and the replay ability of the game.",

"Like many RPGs of its kind Skyrim features a pretty special moment at the beginning of the game. I am of course referring to the moment that you complete the tutorial level, which also sets up the story, and are introduced to the expansive and awe-inspiring world ahead of you. In Skyrim this moment takes place when you leave the dungeons beneath Helgen to be met by the snow-capped peaks that crown the frozen north of Tamriel. The world that you are then free to explore immerses you in the fantasy mythos of the Elder Scrolls series. The locations can be beautiful and they can also be dramatic and atmospheric. Either way, they are perilous as even when you are not on a quest you can be attacked by beasts or raiders at any time. If you want to fight and adventure but you do not want to complete a quest, there are hundreds of coves and settlements crawling with enemies to discover. One thing is for certain, your travels in Skyrim are never boring.",
null,
"Many fans of the Telltale Games franchise were delighted to hear that they were developing a Lego Lord of the Rings game. With that being said, it was a no-brainer to make the vivid and immersive fantasy world a free roam environment. However, even Telltale Games out did themselves with this one. The open world that was created from Tolkein’s great works and Peter Jackson’s masterpiece adaptations was simply incredible. The locations that look delightful in the films look as good in the game. You can relax amongst the visuals and music of Rivendell for as long as you want. This was the first Lego game to utilise the music and dialogue of the movies, making it an absolute treat for Lord of the Rings fans. It is an awesome feeling to ride on horseback from one citadel to another. Arguably the coolest thing you can do in the game is ride across Rohan to hear the iconic theme from the soundtrack as you approach Edoras.",
null,
"Although it is not as open as Grand Theft Auto or Fallout the Zelda series has always included the element of adventure. Akin to the previous games in the franchise Skyward Sword had a number of areas to explore freely. The dungeons do need to be completed in a linear fashion but you can come and go as you please, choosing to explore if you wish. The aesthetic of this instalment is completely unique. This time we encounter Link living in the skies on a floating village called Skyloft. It is a beautiful, heavenly place where people travel around on the back of large birds called Loftwings. The surface below the clouds was long thought to be inhospitable but you must venture down. On your quest through the overgrown and forgotten lands you see echoes of the world you used to know, places and things you have already encountered as a previous incarnation of Link. There are a number of locations in Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword that are visually delectable. You just want to chill out in Skyloft and take in the gorgeous scenery.",
null,
"The second instalment into the franchise really stepped things up a notch. The first game only featured Batman and Robin as well as the most iconic villains of ‘The Caped Crusader’. There were many different suits for Batman and Robin but things were pretty limited on the heroes front. The sequel made a concerted effort to change this introducing a massive roster of DC superheroes. It also opened the game up allowing the player to freely roam around Gotham between missions. Telltale Games created a fascinating version of Gotham that was a lot of fun to explore and hang out in. Visually it featured all of the gravitas you would want from Bruce Wayne’s home; with enormous, decadent statues akin to that of Joel Shumacher and Tim Burton’s movies. The open world is also as chaotic as the crime ridden city should be, violent gangs create carnage in the streets so there is always someone for you to beat up."

"Zayn Malik has confirmed the birth of his first child, a daughter, with girlfriend Gigi Hadid.\n\nThe musician, 27, posted a picture of the newborn gripping his heavily tattooed hand on Twitter Wednesday evening, writing “Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful.”\n\n“To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task,” he continued. “The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together.”\n\nFans first began speculating that Gigi welcomed her baby after her younger sister, Bella, 23, posted an emotional message dedicated to her sibling’s “bun in the oven.”\n\nAlongside a photo of her and her sister, Bella wrote, “june 11, 2020 …🖤 two buns in the oven except mine is from my burger and gigi’s is from @zayn ✨👼🏼✨” — before adding of Hadid and boyfriend Malik: “i love you both so freaking much – can’tstopcrying 🥺.”\n\nGigi’s father Mohamed also led fans to believe Gigi’s baby had arrived when he posted a heartfelt poem to his grandchild on Instagram Wednesday afternoon.\n\n“I wish for you the sun & moon, I wish for you a happy time. Know that grandpa’s always here, I’ll do anything, anything for you, my dear,” he wrote.\n\nThe supermodel and the former One Direction crooner began dating in 2015, separating three years later. They sparked reconciliation rumors in December 2019 and were first spotted back together in New York the following month.\n\nThey were spotted again at New York hotspot Eleven Madison Park for Malik’s birthday on Jan. 12, and have since been riding out the pandemic at a Pennsylvania farm Malik allegedly bought on the advice of Yolanda."

"Tennessee Williams’ landmark play A Streetcar Named Desire is a rich, raw evocation of its time and place – that is, sweltering summer nights in New Orleans in 1947. So how does one go about breathing new life into it in 2012, in central Liverpool in the mid-winter?\n\nBut actor Annabelle Apsion is confident that Williams’ writing retains all its original bite and immediacy.\n\n“Being in Liverpool, where people are very friendly and where you have these strong neighbourhood ties, it actually seems very relevant. Sex, violence, family relationships, mental illness – these are all things which people are a lot more open talking about now and which are featuring in the daily papers all the time. So actually, when you read the play you think, crikey, this seems as though it could have been written today.”\n\nIt’s been over 30 years since the Liverpool Playhouse last produced a Williams play. Streetcar is a personal favourite of Playhouse artistic director Gemma Bodinetz, who has had great success in recent years with revivals of American classics such as All My Sons and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\n\nApsion has a wealth of theatre experience but is perhaps best known for television roles in Hillsborough, The Second Coming, and in particular a long run as Monica, Frank Gallagher’s estranged bisexual wife in Shameless. Indeed, it’s tempting to draw some parallels between the rough and ready neighbourhood shenanigans of the Channel 4 show and the world of Streetcar. In that respect, Williams’ preoccupations seem to be ahead of their time.\n\n“Very much so,” agrees Apsion. “In the play, the sisters really love one another and there’s that triangle thing where a couple has another family member come and live with them. Now families are breaking up a lot – much more so than at that time.”\n\nKey elements of Williams’ writing have become very familiar to contemporary audiences. “The women characters have very strong sexual appetites. I can’t remember a play of that era where they really show women as being kind of alive, sexual animals, as well as having intellects and emotions. There’s this thing about double standards: what’s appropriate for a man, what’s appropriate for a woman. I think it plays very well today.”\n\nCliché states that actors always prefer theatre to TV, but is that true?\n\n“Well, to me this show is like the answer to my prayers. Because what happens a lot in television now is that the script’s very late, so they’re very behind. Or you just have one read-through, and then you turn up on your day to work and you discuss with the director how to do that scene. You go through it a couple of times, the lighting guys light it and then you shoot it. And sometimes the next day you think, Oh, I wish I’d done such and such a thing… Television is fun in other ways, but you don’t get the rehearsals. If you’re not in one particular scene you might never meet the actors in it. Whereas in theatre you get to grow the whole thing together. You can all contribute your ideas and kind of own it, and that’s a lovely feeling.”\n\nSo can 1940s New Orleans really be summoned into being in Liverpool in February? “I think when people go to the theatre you enter the world of make-believe. You suspend your disbelief. I shouldn’t imagine this is different from any other show.” Laughing, Apsion adds. “In fact, people might rather like to imagine that it’s very hot!”"

"This is a solitaire card game, using the rules for Klondike Solitaire. The game is played with one 4-suite deck of 52 cards. The game layout starts with a row of seven cards, with the leftmost face-up, the others face down, then adds to this six cards on the previous face-down row, with the left-most face up and so on until there is a diagonal of face-up cards in seven columns of increasing length, left to right. On the diagonal layout, you build downward, alternating color suites, moving cards between columns and taking free cards from the remaining deck. Kings are the only card allowed to be placed on empty columns. You are building suites of cards on the four aces upward, on four stacks on top of the layout, and the object is to end up with all suites sorted in separate stacks on the top. This game allows cheating, and has option to ignore rules completely, or just allow cheating in single instances. Individual game layouts can be replayed by referring to the game number shown in the lower right of the screen."

"After a six year run, it was time to change up Caballero's deck graphic. Just in time for the filming of the Animal Chin video in 1986, a new dragon graphic was created for Cab. Now known as the Cab Chinese Dragon, the artwork was inspired by a Chinese takeout box and finally illustrated by VCJ. The Chinese Dragon came on a new \"fish\" shape in full size and mini. It was produced as 7-ply maple and also \"Bonite\" construction. It was discontinued in 1987."

"The past few years have seen the Call of Duty franchise take a hop, a skip and a double jump into the future, but with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, it’s going even further away from the realism of World War 2 and the modern era that helped make this the biggest name in first person shooters. With this game, Call of Duty is wholly embracing the realms of the sci-fi shooter, bringing its bombastic, cinematic gameplay to a new setting, but Infinity Ward are also trying to push what their game does and what it asks of the player forward.\n\nIt’s a relatively familiar feeling sci-fi story, with humanity branching out from Earth and into our solar system, but then finding political tensions rising between those in the fringes and those still back on our home planet. Things come to a head with the Settlement Defense Front launching a surprise attack on Earth and crippling much of the UNSA fleet in the process.\n\nCaptain Reyes, your protagonist in the game, doesn’t start as the commanding officer of his ship. His rank is a field promotion borne of necessity, with the captain and XO of the UNSA Retribution killed in a crash, as they took the fight back to the Settlement Defence Force. You’re now in command of one of the very few remaining ships in the UNSA fleet, and that allows Infinite Warfare to do something more than previous games, giving you the ability to make choices and pick the missions you take.\n\nThe overall story is linear, Infinity Ward have previously stated, so it’s not heading down path that Black Ops 2 trod with different missions that altered the story’s ending, but you’ll have certain side objectives and missions that you can take on. Just how big an impact these will have, we’ll have to wait and see – these kinds of things are quite difficult to demo in the context of a trade show like Gamescom – but ought to open up the door to a broader experience for those who want something beyond a traditional Call of Duty campaign.\n\nReyes isn’t your standard ship Captain, being the lead officer of the Retribution’s elite SCAR (Special Combat Air Recon) unit. He’s basically an all round action hero, trained not just as an elite Tier 1 soldier as you might find in the SEALs or the SAS, but also as a pilot for aerial and space combat in the game’s transforming Jackal fighters. He’s got a little bit of Star Trek’s Captain Kirk about him as well, in his determination to make use of his own combat abilities and lead from the very front, going into the danger areas and putting his boots on the ground.\n\nThe mission shown at Gamescom sees Reyes leading a small unit on a search and rescue mission to an asteroid facility spinning wildly out of control. An explosion managed to alter its rotation to the point that the sun rises and sets every minute, searing the surface with unimaginably high heat, causing its to melt and bubble into lava. Needless to say, it makes for some spectacular visuals, as you scurry from one building to the next, but that gives way to a darker, more eerie tone, as Reyes and the team fan out to explore the main facility and find the bodies of those working on the asteroid. It’s not exactly clear if this was an accident or intentional, but something’s gone terribly wrong.\n\nUnusually, this demo focussed on these two moments, before cutting to show glimpses of the rest of what feels like a more tangential level to the main thrust of the story. Alongside the above cinematic trailer that was released at the start of the month, these are examples of how the game can lean more towards story and character building, shifting the tone away from the blockbusting action that tends to be the beating heart of a Call of Duty campaign.\n\nOf course, we all know the kinds of action that this series can deliver, and Infinity Ward have shown these moments before for Infinite Warfare. This time last month, they focused on fighting through the streets of Geneva, before easily shifting to orbit and dogfighting in space. There was a similar shifting focus when, back at E3, they showcased an audacious ship boarding action, with Reyes and his SCAR team working their way through the ship’s defences, fighting through zero G on the ship’s hull, fighting through and then scuttling the ship.\n\nThat was a mission rather reminiscent of the opening submarine assault on the Hudson River from Modern Warfare 3, and it all happened in a breathlessly seamless fashion, having chosen the mission and launched directly into the fight from the Retribution, which acts as your hub and evolves over the course of the game.\n\nIt’s still Call of Duty, in other words, but the way that it’s been wrapped up is new and interesting. There’s a lot of new additions to the traditional gameplay of the series, from the ability to choose the missions you take on, the character dialogue changing tone to respect you as the ranking officer and not the grunt that’s to be ordered around, the zero-G fighting, the dogfighting and especially the interstellar setting. These are things both big and small that could add up to more than a small step forward for the series.",

"A major story in Athens these days concerns a “children’s charity” NGO named “Kivotos tou Kosmou” (World’s Ark), founded by a priest, Antonios -the Greeks still love their priests- which since 1998 has run multiple homes for “vulnerable children and mothers”. Recently, it has come under scrutiny because of widespread financial malfeasance and, wouldn’t you know, “widespread sexual and physical abuse” of the children in their care. The Monastiraki kitchen’s Filothei tells me that she and her late husband used to donate money to this NGO on a regular basis. Imagine how she feels now, along with so many others.\n\nI tell you this because it apparently revives a discussion about NGOs here in Greece. You may remember that in 2015, when I first landed here, at the height of the refugee crisis, there were 51 NGOs reportedly “operating” on the island of Lesbos alone. Their capital came from the Greek government, as well as the EU, and likely the UN. Many of them were handing out lousy and expensive meals, bought by the thousands from companies somewhere in Europe, and paid for with subsidies (they paid $5-10 per meal, the Monastiraki kitchen cost is $1 per meal -maybe $1,50 now- for much better quality- we make sure). And it was a lucrative business. It was “the Charity Industry”. British (ex?) politician David Miliband then earned £425,000-a-year as head of refugee charity International Rescue. For all I know he still does.\n\nThey picked Miliband because of his ties to -political- funding. Where that funding then went, if it actually helped people, was a secondary matter. To be an NGO, you must comply with, in the Greek case, a long set of EU rules. And then when you do, you can get a lot of money -or at least in 2015 you could. That money didn’t go where it was needed, it went to the NGO industry. And the politicians could say: see, we spent so much money on the poor, you can’t blame us if anything goes wrong!",

"Somehow this whole thing has reached the Monastiraki kitchen to the extent that Filothei would like me to explain. As she herself wrote on the kitchen’s Facebook page the other day (Google translation) :\n\nThe Monastiraki social kitchen, we are a group, “big family” of intrepid people with a common goal and abundance of emotions. Setting tables for sharing moments and feeding. WE DON’T ACCEPT CASH. We are not an NGO. We have no sponsors. We are only accepting items that can fit in the pot of all of us or fruit and candy all shared on the same day. We don’t store, we don’t stock food, we do not throw food. Even ripe fruit becomes jams for crepes. Whatever are SOS needs that we cannot meet, we ask for your help, always in kind.\n\nWith organized and proper management of food, we always have it in abundance and no needy person leaves complaining. Thank you for your prompt response, caring, support and Humanity. This pot is filled by all of us and is distributed fairly to all. With a smile and appetite for lessons in the difficult city, we are waiting for you in our big family. We keep what unites us and throw away what divides us. Solidarity, respect, and Love are our weapons.",

"This comes after she tells me people ask how much we ourselves make from each cooking, and people saying: I would like to work for your kitchen, how much do you pay? In reality, the people who prepare the food are also the people who use their own money -of which most have little- to buy what is needed to feed 500 homeless per cooking. And in the background as a safety net, for large expenses and unexpected costs, there is the Automatic Earth and its wonderful readers.\n\nPeople’s perception, and you can’t blame them for it, is that we make money off of feeding the poorest. As I said, charity has become an industry. NGOs are money makers. And that’s how people see them. That’s why we never wanted to be an NGO. Sure, that means donations to us are not tax-deductible, and that undoubtedly costs us a lot of money, but the cost to our integrity of complying with bureaucrats is just too high. We pave our own path.",

"As for the kitchen’s operations right now, we’ve made sure there’s still a bit of money left from your donations in summer, just in case. From time to time I even tell Filothei et al that they can keep their money and put it in a jar or an envelope for hard(er) times. Because we still have some funds, we made sure. They refuse to accept any cash, by the way, I have to personally go to the supermarket to purchase the checks that they then use to buy the staple foods, pasta, rice, tomato cans and -paste. Can’t give them cash, can’t transfer the money.\n\nBut winter hasn’t started yet, and that will be the big challenge. Supermarket prices just keep on rising, but the big one will be the power and energy bills. Which for some people will be 3x what they were last year. We face 3 months of trouble. How many people will be unable to pay their bills? How many will have to cut down on food just to be able to stay in their homes? How may will end up in the streets? How cold will it get? We don’t know. But we do have to try and prepare. For more meals, more cooking, more caring.\n\nAnd never underestimate the shame, the hesitancy that people feel when they must admit they can not feed themselves, or worse, their families. People all over the world are too proud for that, and Greeks are certainly no exception.\n\nThank you so much for your ongoing support. And we’ll make sure our clients have a great Christmas dinner. I’d pay for it myself if needed, but something tells me the Monastiraki kitchen family will beat me to it.",
null,
"Also, I should never forget the local people who support the kitchen. There is a baker who sends over enough bread for everyone. Another baker sends over tons of fantastic sweets, luxurious pies etc., every week (€100 each time?). They wish to remain anonymous. And there are many like them. The store where we get the water sends over food for vegetarians, to name one example. Plus, of course, most vegetables come from Filothei’s organic garden (how big does a garden have to be before you call it a farm?!). It’s a brilliant operation, and I’m proud to be part of it.\n\nWe are a lucky kitchen. Because of all these people, and because of you. Thank you. I’ll end with the usual play:",
null,
"Most of you will know the drill of this by now: any Paypal donations ending in $0.99 or $0.37 go straight to the Monastiraki kitchen, while other donations go to the Automatic Earth -which also badly needs them. (Note: a lot of Automatic Earth donations also end up at the kitchen).\n\nBut I cannot do this on my own right now. The Monastiraki kitchen will realistically need about €1,500 per month (not all from my readers). I don’t have that to spare. So I’m calling on you. Unashamedly, because I know there is no reason to be ashamed of the cause.",
