"UFC flyweight star Paige VanZant will explore free agency after her next fight, which will mark the final obligation on her current UFC contract.\n\n“I am, yeah,” VanZant said when asked about free agency on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show (via Bloody Elbow). “You know, it’s more for me, I want to prove my worth. And obviously, with my arm injuries I’ve had three surgeries in a row now. Even though I’m so popular, I guess… I’ve been doing amazing things outside the UFC—Sports Illustrated, Dancing with the Stars, all these amazing things. I want to show, ‘Hey, I’m a huge player in this division. I’m a huge player in the UFC.’ And I think it’s going to take one more fight to do that.”\n\nAs for that last fight on her UFC contract, Paige VanZant is hoping it will occur at the UFC’s big, year-end pay-per-view.\n\nIn the meantime, VanZant’s number-one priority is simply getting healthy again after a difficult arm injury and resulting surgery.\n\n“More than anything, I’m just focused on getting back in the cage,” VanZant said. “I don’t want to put any pressure on myself, or any stress behind anything. I just want to fight.”\n\nDo you think Paige VanZant will wind up sticking with the UFC, or could we see her scooped up by another major promotion like Bellator or ONE Championship?"

"In the real estate world, there is a common theory that success revolves around one thought; location, location, location. In one area in our community, there in one spot that has literally cornered the market on banks, and that is the corner of Court and Chenango streets. A prominent location in the newly created village in the first half of the 19th century, the corner was located across the street from the newly built courthouse.",
null,
"For the past 180 years, the northeast corner of the intersection has been occupied by a bank building. In 1831, six years before the opening of the Chenango Canal, several local businessmen got together to create the very first bank in Broome County. The New York State Legislature approved the bank's charter in April of that year with Cyrus Strong, Cary Murdock, Daniel Evans, Samuel Smith, Myron Merrill, Peter Robinson, Jesse Orcutt, Lewis St. John, Virgil Whitney, Thomas Waterman, Christopher Eldridge, John Collier and Joshua Whitney as the board of directors. Each man was prominent in the community and the bank was organized with $100,000 capital.\n\nLike our area's first bank, the Chenango Valley Bank included many important businessmen for its board of directors. One of them was Sherman Phelps, who quickly rose to prominence in the community. The bank also rose in importance, and it was quickly determined that the bank needed more space. Plans were made to tear down the old Broome County Bank and replace it with something more prominent in the growing city.\n\nIn order to do this, the bank moved across the street to the Hagaman Block (now the site of the Security Mutual Building), while the old building was removed and the new one constructed. Phelps decided to use the up-and-coming architect Isaac Perry. Perry had already designed the Castle building for the Inebriate Asylum, and built his own Perry Block across from the bank site in 1870 to house his architectural offices and apartment. Phelps had just completed his own Perry-designed home that same year on Court Street.\n\nIn 1871, Perry designed a six-story building with an elaborate Second Empire or Mansard roof atop that overlooked the bustling downtown at Courthouse Square. Interestingly, when it opened it was the home of the Chenango Valley Bank, but looking at the wording atop the entrance doorways into the building gives its real identity: the Phelps Bank.\n\nThe bank was a masterpiece of design, taking a fairly small footprint, and making it important. The building was tall so that it stood out from the rest of the adjoining building. Perry also made the entrance at an angle to the corner, rather than facing either Chenango or Court Street — it faced both. But there have always been troubles with Second Empire roofs; they are made of wood, which made them susceptible to damage to both water and fire. For the Phelps Bank, it was fire, which occurred in 1908 when flames burned through the roof. At least the fire department was able to stop the blaze before it ruined the building.\n\nInstead the roof was modified and revamped to remove the elaborate wood portions. But the improvement was short-lived. In 1929, the entire building was removed for the construction of the First National Bank. While the new bank used the same footprint, it only stood four stories, rather than six. As with many banks in the 1930s that merged to survive the Great Depression, First National joined with City National Bank to become First City National Bank. Eventually, the last bank there closed in the early 1990s and the building was later corporate headquarters for Crowley Foods. Empty now, this one building still represent nearly two centuries of our area's finances."

"Physicists developing a prototype quantum hard drive have improved storage time by a factor of more than 100.\n\nThe team’s record storage time of six hours is a major step towards a secure worldwide data encryption network based on quantum information, which could be used for banking transactions and personal emails.\n\n“We believe it will soon be possible to distribute quantum information between any two points on the globe,” said lead author Manjin Zhong, from the Research School of Physics and Engineering (RSPE).\n\n“Quantum states are very fragile and normally collapse in milliseconds. Our long storage times have the potential to revolutionise the transmission of quantum information.”\n\nQuantum information promises unbreakable encryption because quantum particles such as photons of light can be created in a way that intrinsically links them. Interactions with either of these entangled particles affect the other, no matter how far they are separated.\n\nThe team of physicists at ANU and the University of Otago stored quantum information in atoms of the rare earth element europium embedded in a crystal.\n\nTheir solid-state technique is a promising alternative to using laser beams in optical fibres, an approach which is currently used to create quantum networks around 100 kilometres long.\n\n“Our storage times are now so long that it means people need to rethink what is the best way to distribute quantum data,” Ms Zhong said.\n\n“Even transporting our crystals at pedestrian speeds we have less loss than laser systems for a given distance.”\n\n“We can now imagine storing entangled light in separate crystals and then transporting them to different parts of the network thousands of kilometres apart. So, we are thinking of our crystals as portable optical hard drives for quantum entanglement.”\n\nAfter writing a quantum state onto the nuclear spin of the europium using laser light, the team subjected the crystal to a combination of a fixed and oscillating magnetic fields to preserve the fragile quantum information.\n\n“The two fields isolate the europium spins and prevent the quantum information leaking away,” said Dr Jevon Longdell of the University of Otago.\n\nThe ANU group is also excited about the fundamental tests of quantum mechanics that a quantum optical hard drive will enable.\n\n\"We have never before had the possibility to explore quantum entanglement over such long distances,\" said Associate Professor Matthew Sellars, leader of the research team.\n\n“We should always be looking to test whether our theories match up with reality. Maybe in this new regime our theory of quantum mechanics breaks.”\n\nTheir research is published in Nature.\n\nNature have also published a review of the work.",

"Who is the villain in Pandora Hearts? Jack Vessalius is the main antagonist of Pandora Hearts. He is the instigator of the Tragedy of Saiber instead of being the Hero of Saiber as previously thought.\n\nWhat is Noe’s true name? Noé Archiviste (ノエ・アルシヴィスト, Noe Arushivisuto) is a central protagonist of Jun Mochizuki’s The Case Study of Vanitas.\n\nHow many volumes of Pandora Hearts are there? Pandora Hearts is written and illustrated by Jun Mochizuki and serialized in Square Enix’s monthly shōnen magazine GFantasy from June 2006 to April 2015. There are a total of one hundred four chapters collected into twenty-four volumes.\n\nWho is the villain in Pandora Hearts? – Related Questions\n\nHow old is Gilbert from Pandora Hearts?\n\nThough numerous characters state his age as 24, the Evidence guidebook states that his age is technically unknown.\n\nIs Pandora Hearts Alice in Wonderland?\n\nCharacters. Pandora Hearts is a Japanese manga and anime series. It heavily references Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.\n\nWhy is Pandora Hearts so good?\n\nOverall, the story of Pandora Hearts is amazing, and despite its few flaws, the mastery with which everything comes together outshines the bad. The characters are a mixed bag, with mostly well written characters. The cast is quite large for this series though, which does somewhat mitigate the varying character quality.\n\nIs Oz a human?\n\nUnlike Guoba, who’s incapable of human speech, Oz is an intelligent creature who aids the self-proclaimed Prinzessin der Verurteilung in battle—while doubling up as a translator to help ordinary individuals understand her otherworldly, chuunibyou-infused speech.\n\nHow strong is Oz?\n\nOz was one of two known Chain Killers, Chains capable of completely destroying other Chains (the other being Mad Hatter). This ability extended to Baskervilles, former humans whose bodies have come to take on the traits of Chains, allowing him to easily kill the normally invulnerable Baskervilles.\n\nIt began serialization in the shōnen magazine GFantasy published by Square Enix in May 2006 and completed its run in March 2015 with a total of 104 chapters collected in twenty-four volumes.\n\nDoes Pandora Hearts get better?\n\nI found this series to only get better as it progressed. The way they should. As Oz seeks to uncover his sin, learns about Pandora Hearts and discovers the truth of his own reality and past the series really picks up. The eccentric characters and and mysterious story-line really grabbed my attention.\n\nSee Also: Does shin and Sicily end up together?\nSaveSavedRemoved 0\n\nWhy did Jetstream Sam become evil?\n\nCan Wonder of U be beaten?"

"January loanee Valentino Lazaro has completed a move to Borussia Mönchengladbach, joining the Germans on a season-long loan with an option to buy from Inter Milan.\n\nFollowing the announcement, The Chronicle’s Lee Ryder reveals the Austrian ‘turned down’ a return to St James’ Park due to a ‘lack of first-team assurances’.\n\nAs a result, he signs with the Bundesliga side who are set to compete in the Champions League next season after finishing 4th in the German top flight in 2019/20.\n\nHere’s what the Borussia Monchengladbach’s sporting director Max Eberl has had to say since he signed:\n\n“We’re delighted that the loan move has gone through and that Tino has chosen to come to Borussia,”\n\n“He is a very versatile player and adds even more strength and depth to our squad.”\n\nFor me, we’ve only got ourselves to blame here, with Steve Bruce’s reluctance to start the talented 24-year-old often leaving fans baffled last season given he often showed real flashes of quality, intent and energy from the bench.\n\nAnother loan deal with an option to buy could’ve been ideal given our budget, however a return to Germany at a club set for the Champions League appears to be a far more attractive proposition for the Austrian – especially when he was not guaranteed regular minutes under Steve Bruce.\n\nI can’t help but feel we’ll live to regret how we handled his six-month loan stint at St James’ Park as there’s clearly a very capable player in there."

"Veterans For Peace, an organization of which I’ve been a member since 2013, has called for veterans (as well as civilians) affected by the Vietnam War to write a letter to the American war dead for this Memorial Day. This letter-writing effort is part of a campaign to counter the Pentagon’s effort to paint the Vietnam War in a “noble” light. The letters will be hand-delivered to the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC on May 25th. This is my contribution.\n\nTo Those Whose Names Are Here Memorialized:\n\nSome of you enlisted enthusiastically, believing you were saving “The Free World” from a communist menace; many of you, like myself, enlisted in order to “beat the draft”; but undoubtedly the majority of you were conscripted: “Take this rifle, son, or…meet your cellmates for the next few years in this Federal Penitentiary.” A few of you were women, serving in a medical or perhaps clerical setting. Death, the Great Leveler, has here united you all.\n\nBut Death is not the only thing that binds you together. You were all victims of a national sickness, a belief that the United States of America has a God-given mandate to rule the entire globe, to its own economic benefit. You were all victims of a chain of monstrous lies which led to your deployment to a strange land that most Americans didn’t know existed prior to the 1960s. The first of these was the fiction that there was a separate, sovereign nation called “The Republic of South Vietnam” that needed you to defend it against “aggression from the north.” Democrat, Republican, it mattered not: our national leaders lied to us again and again and perpetuated one of the most criminal wars of modern times. Not a single one of you should have been deployed to Vietnam in the first place. Not a single one! And thus, as surely as the uncounted millions of inhabitants of the region killed by US weaponry, each and every one of you is a victim of US military aggression. And no one in the leadership of the war machinery, at any level, has ever been prosecuted for their roles in this criminal undertaking. Not a single solitary one.\n\nIf resurrected from the realm of the dead you could be, what would you make of the state of the world today? Sure, the advances in technology would wow you at first. Such wizardry! Hey, what became of the USSR? And is that a black man in the White House?!? That would be a shocker, no doubt. But after examining what is recent history for us in this present era, I hope you would be alarmed and ultimately outraged that American troops are still deployed all over the world in the effort to maintain economic hegemony, and that they kill and occasionally get killed or maimed…for what, exactly? To “defend freedom”? While our own dwindling freedom here at home is in mortal peril of being extinguished, in the name of “our own protection”! While the streets of our cities and towns are patrolled by cops wearing full combat gear, generously donated by the Pentagon. And that very Pentagon is spending millions of taxpayer dollars on a campaign to persuade the generations following ours that the war that took your lives was far, far from the monstrous crime that it was. I hope you would be sufficiently appalled that the USA learned not a damned thing from its defeat in Vietnam that you would be moved to actively resist current government policies. But that is a struggle we, the still living, will have to pursue. Continue to rest in peace, brothers and sisters. Your fighting days are over."

"This Photoworks publication is the result of an ongoing engagement of the work of Stuart Griffiths made during his time as a member of the 3rd Paratrooper Regiment serving in Northern Ireland in the late 1980s and early 1990s.\n\nThese photographs are made before Griffiths received any formal training in photography and are documents of his experience of soldiering towards the end of the ‘Troubles’. They are raw snapshots made for his own personal album, but powerfully evoke a sense of boredom, frustration and fear felt by the group of very young men he was serving alongside.\n\nThe images are accompanied by Griffiths’ first-person narrative describing his changing feelings towards his choice to become a soldier and the validity of the British Army’s position in the conflict.\n\nFive facsimile artefacts from the ephemera collection Griffiths assembled himself during his tour of duty are included with each copy."

"Primary and secondary schools that had already spent many of their first weeks of the year at school raising money for Queensland, New Zealand and Japanese natural disaster victims did it all again in the lead-up to Easter for some of the world’s poorest and most disadvantaged citizens.\n\nBrisbane archdiocese Caritas director Patricia Ryan said the generosity of students, staff and parents for the 2011 appeal was “absolutely amazing”.\n\n“To find so many hearts, minds and spirits are alive to the work that Caritas does with the poor throughout the world is wonderful,” she said.\n\n“Caritas acknowledges the extraordinary generosity and efforts of these people who have already had a big ask in supporting victims of their own floods and then neighbours in New Zealand and Japan who have also faced natural disasters but who still got behind us and continued to support the poorest of the poor.”\n\nSt Pius’ assistant principal for religious education (APRE) Denise Roache said the total was a great effort for such a small school and came on top of a further $2000 raised for St Pius’ flood-affected “twin school” in Laidley.\n\n“We had a ‘walk to make a difference’, which was the culmination of a whole term of fundraising and a great day,” Ms Roache said.\n\nShe said the day began with a liturgy to celebrate the end of term and the end of the School’s Holy Week prayers.\n\n“We all got out then and walked around the block with a lot of the mums also joining us to make it a really enjoyable occasion,” she said.\n\n“I was very proud of our little community for their commitment and support for Caritas throughout our whole Lenten journey but the walk was brilliant.”\n\nMs Roache said having Ms Ryan’s support on the day was the icing on a great event.\n\n“After having so many fundraisers for the natural disasters occurring around the world, they continued to give from the bottom of their hearts,” she said.\n\n“I even know of one girl who donated her whole pay from her shift in her part-time job at Woolies,” she said.\n\nPrincipal Robyn Anderson said the college did not recognise the term “compassion overload”.\n\n“When times are tough and the needs are many, our students, staff and parents seem to draw even more deeply on the parable of the Good Samaritan,” she said.\n\nOur Lady of the Sacred Heart School in Darra is another school that draws deeply on the philosophy of helping thy neighbour.\n\nAPRE Linda Allen said a number of school families lost everything in Queensland’s January floods and the rest of the community was quick to help then and still give to Project Compassion.\n\n“We donated $1500 to St Vinnies as soon as we went back to school and we expect to raise around $1000 for Project Compassion,” she said.\n\nMs Allen said that, while some school families had lost every thing in the floods and others suffered partial flooding or lost jobs when employers’ businesses went under, they weren’t the type of people to come forward and ask for help.\n\n“They keep it to themselves. We really had to dig to find out who they were,” she said. “This is a very good community. We are a giving community and always willing to help.”\n\nBrigidine College, Indooroopilly, found the perfect way to raise awareness of the plight of the poor as well as funds to support them by selling ice-cold treats during hot, sticky early autumn days.\n\nThe fundraiser was just one of a multitude conducted throughout the term including the sale of cakes, pancakes, lollies and other goodies.\n\nDeputy principal for mission Andrée Rice said the challenge for 2011 was to work in partnership with Caritas to make a difference.\n\n“Caritas’ focus is on empowering local people to develop solutions to their particular problems,” she said.\n“The college community set a target to raise $3000. We are well on our way to reaching that goal.\n\n“But, more importantly, the students are more aware of people around the world who are in need especially the women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”\n\nMs Rice said the generosity of people never ceased to amaze her.\n\n“Many of our families were affected by the January floods but here they are now reaching out to others.”\n\n“Last year we ran chicka-tas where we raised money to buy chickens and this year we decided to support farmer education so for every $20 each class raised they knew they were educating one more Nepalese farmer in sustainable practices,” he said.\n\nMr Mahaffy said there was a friendly rivalry between classes that resulted in a total of 200 farmers funded by the end of the appeal.\n\n“We actually raised around $4500 with most of that from classes but our P and F is very supportive of such an important appeal so they also gave us a small donation.”"

"Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke says the 2014 World Cup will definitely be staged in Brazil, despite admitting he had been involved in talks with the government to decide whether to cancel the Confederations Cup because of protests.\n\nValcke conceded the demonstrations had overshadowed the tournament, but guaranteed next summer's World Cup would go ahead after he was given government assurances over safety.\n\n\"The World Cup will be held in Brazil,\" he told BBC Sport.\n\n\"The first game will happen in Sao Paulo, the final will be in Rio. There is no plan B.\"\n\nLast weekend more than a million people were reported to have taken part in protests in about 100 cities across Brazil.\n\nProtests began over high transport fares but have also highlighted corruption and the cost of next year's World Cup.\n\nThe objectives of this diverse protest movement are very broad, such as demanding better education and health services. A sluggish economy and inflation that is affecting the lives of ordinary Brazilians every day can be added to the mix.\n\nPoliticians with high salaries giving jobs and flights to relatives are widely scorned. Inequality and the huge cost of hosting the World Cup and the Olympics are key issues raised by demonstrators alongside corruption, crime and police brutality.\n\nWhen asked if there had been a point when he had questioned as the protests gathered momentum, Valcke said: \"There was one evening on 20 June when we reached a peak in the country.\n\n\"The demonstrations had moved from being non-violent protests to a minority of violent protestors who were making a lot of noise and problems. So the following day we had a crisis meeting, including the government, the local organising committee and Fifa just to make sure we were on the same page, in order to end the tournament in the best possible way.\"\n\nValcke launched a robust defence of football's governing body during the interview in Rio de Janeiro and said he felt Fifa was being unfairly blamed for Brazil's problems and that the country still had many issues to overcome. \"There are many, many things to do in Brazil,\" he said.\n\n\"But the most important thing for us is to detach the World Cup or the Confederations Cup from these problems. We are not the answer to all problems and we are definitely not the reason for such a crisis. We are just part of what Brazil is doing for the next 20 years.\"\n\nWhen asked if Fifa was being unfairly portrayed as the villain in Brazil, he added: \"Definitely. I am not saying that because I work for Fifa, as secretary general. But the light Fifa is being shown in here, is the wrong one.\"\n\nDuring the worst of the protests, Italy were prevented from leaving their hotel in Fortaleza for safety reasons. But Valcke told BBC Sport that no team, or official, had ever asked to leave the tournament because of the problems but that safety levels had been raised as a result.\n\nHad he asked the Brazilian government for extra guarantees on the safety of players and officials as a direct result of the demonstrations? \"For sure,\" he added.\n\n\"We always ask that as part of the commitment for the country when they host the World Cup.\n\n\"But after these days (the protests) we asked to ensure the highest level of security, not only for the players but the media, the fans, for whoever has the wish to be part of the event. It is part of the responsibility of the state to deliver that high level of security system to protect all of us.\"\n\nValcke went on to say that he felt next summer's World Cup might yet be remembered as the greatest of them all, especially if Brazil play well. \"What Neymar has given in this tournament is unique. He is an amazing player, a beautiful player,\" he added.\n\n\"If Brazil plays well at the World Cup you have everything to make the best World Cup ever organised.\n\n\"It is true that what we expect is the best tournament. If Brazil plays well you will have an incredible World Cup. It is the country of football.\""

"From 2017, every sailing enthusiast can experience Volvo Ocean Race‘s high performance sailing. Race director Phil Lawrence revealed that the M32 boats, which weigh just 510kg and can sail in most weather conditions in stadium mode, will be used in both guest sailing and Pro-Am racing mode during the final days of at least eight of the 11 Host Cities the global race visits.\n\nIn the past week, the Volvo Ocean Race has made key announcements on crew rules regarding women sailors, a new crew communicator that will allow the athletes to send social media updates from the oceans, the building of an eighth Volvo Ocean 65 to join the existing fleet and the introduction of bespoke new premium team bases to enhance the pit lane experience in the Race Villages.\n\nThe presence of the high adrenalin 32-foot racing cats will add to the spectacle in the Host Cities over the final days of each stopover, and they will be used in a stadium sailing format for Pro-Am racing on the Saturday before the race restarts. Designed by Swedish sailors Göran Marström and Kåre Ljung, the M32 catamaran offers a unique blend of simplicity and ease of handling, combined with lightweight construction and thrilling performance.",

"“One of the unique selling points for sponsorship in sailing is that we can literally put guests in the driving seat so they experience the real thing – we need to maximise this opportunity to help attract sponsors.”\n\nThe presence of the high adrenalin 32-foot racing cats will add to the spectacle in the Host Cities over the final days of each stopover, and they will be used in a stadium sailing format for Pro-Am racing on the Saturday before the race restarts.\n\n“We had over 70,000 corporate guests tasting a slice of the Volvo Ocean Race last time around, and we want to get as many of those visitors out on the water as possible,” explained Lawrence, who was Race Director of the pioneering stadium-racing Extreme Sailing Series before joining the Volvo Ocean Race earlier this year.\n\n“The challenge that we have found is that the pressure of preparing the boats and crew for the next offshore leg limits guest sailing opportunities, especially leading up to the In-Port Race and departure day.”",
null,
"He continued: “That’s the main driver for introducing M32 boats into our stopovers. Our aim is to get even more people to have that unique experience on the water, even more entertainment on the water for the public, and even more value for sponsors in each Host City.”\n\nIn 2014-15, the Race saw over 2,400 corporate guests take spots onboard the Volvo Ocean 65s. With the addition of the M32s, that number will rise four-fold to almost 10,000. The Race organisers will provide each team with a branded M32 in their colours, assembled, rigged and ready to race, so as not to add more burden to their already high-pressure, pre-race period.\n\nIn addition, each M32 will come with a bespoke RIB (rigid inflatable boat) for guest transfers.",

"In past years I’ve written a few posts on the topic of critiquing which generated several comments. Now that I’m back in another critique group, I am reminded of how difficult it can be to adjust to the critiquing styles of a new group of writers. It takes time to get to know and trust each other… time to understand what kind of feedback each one needs and desires… time to determine how best to provide individualized and constructive criticism that’s truly helpful.\n\nIn an April post five years ago I said, “Good critiquing is as much an art as good writing. Anyone with a modicum of editorial ability should be able to go through a manuscript and highlight problems with its plot, characterization, structure and grammar. I believe it takes someone who has also experienced a writer’s journey — who has survived through the creation of her own fictitious world and thus understands the exhilaration and desperation that is a part of the process – to be able to offer advice in a way that is both helpful and welcome.”\n\nDuring this next week I’m going to dig into the archives and re-issue two posts on the topic of critiquing, Here’s the first…\n\nHow do you feel when you offer your writing for examination and it gets torn apart? For me, it would depend on the motivation of the person who is doing the criticizing. Does he/she sincerely care about me and want to help me improve my writing, or is he/she using the opportunity to dish out personal opinions and humiliate? Since I would be looking for an honest evaluation I would expect to hear not only about my manuscript strengths, but also its weaknesses. What I wouldn’t appreciate is to be told that large chunks of the story should be deleted or rewritten because “it will sound much better than the way you wrote it,” or to be told the work is unredeemably bad. That would feel like a punch in the stomach.",

"It’s painful to get negative critiques on one’s writing but how do you deal with them? I’ve discovered several recent posts on the topic and would like to offer a few excerpts for your consideration.\n\nIn mid-September (2010) Phoebe Kitanidis blogged about “The jerk in your critique group,” but with an unexpected twist – she referred to herself as the jerk! In an effort to avoid any negative feedback from her fellow writers she found she wasn’t submitting anything for critiquing that hadn’t first been polished to perfection. Having others not find anything negative to say about her work felt good. It made her feel superior, and in turn she offered arrogant opinions on the work of the other members. She ended up discouraging others and not learning very much herself at the critique sessions.\n\nOn the Writer Unboxed website Anna Elliott says, “There comes a point for every writer, published or not, when you have to let others read your book. It’s a scary moment, because however hard you’ve worked, however much you love your beloved manuscript, there are never any guarantees that your reader will love it, too. … When I’m still in the writing/revision stage, I try to remember that my first loyalty is to the story I’m telling, not to my own feelings.”\n\nSo if we steel ourselves to turn in less than stellar writing for peer critiques, how do we handle the emotions that erupt at the inevitable criticisms and suggestions?\n\nKristen Lamb on the Warrior Writers site says, “I would like to point out that a good critique might very well make you angry. But, before casting judgment, take a break, calm down, then ask yourself why this person’s comments so upset you.\n\n“A really good critic is highly skilled at finding your greatest weaknesses. That is a good thing. Better to find and fix the flaws while a work is in progress and changes can be made. But, it is normal to react. Thus, the best advice is to breathe deeply. Listen. Calm down by breathing deeply some more. Ask questions. Check your ego. And then grow. Trust me. One day you will thank these people for having the courage to be honest.”\n\nOne reaction on the Writer Unboxed post: “I’ve heard so much about rejection in the industry, but I wasn’t expecting it from my friends. I know this is going to sound bitter, but when you get your manuscript back, you’re going to find out who your true friends are. They’re the ones who will give you the bad news with a soft touch, and the good news with a big smile.” [Tamara]\n\nThere are always tactless people who feel superior and need to prove it by tearing down others, but Kristen says,“they were born little creeps who just grew into larger creeps.” Perhaps we have to accept that, and, if we truly want to grow, put aside the hurt and carry on.\n\nIt’s good advice if you can follow it. Have you ever had to deal with tough or unfair critiques? How did you cope?\n\n3 thoughts on “Critiquing: #1 – Getting Punched in the Gut”"

"Dvoracek, a 71-year-old Czech nationwide who sells artisan bread together with his Venezuelan spouse at native meals markets, stated he’s now doing round 25% of his gross sales thru the brand new Bitcoin Jungle pockets. Apart from giving him the choice of incomes bitcoin, he says the largest good thing about the usage of it’s been saving the costs of as much as 8% that he loses with bank card gross sales.\n\n“It’s been wonderful,” stated Dvoracek, who lived in Venezuela for 20 years. “Maximum people the usage of bitcoin now depart the bank card machines at house,” he added, regarding his fellow stall distributors.\n\nThe evolution of Bitcoin Jungle on this area implies that El Salvador is now not the one position in Central The united states the place you’ll be able to purchase a espresso with bitcoin sooner than hitting the seaside. In truth, you’ll be able to do an entire lot extra with it this present day on this nook of Costa Rica.\n\nOn a contemporary Friday within the surf the town of Dominical, over a dozen distributors together with Dvoracek have been accepting bitcoin. A couple of mins stroll down the principle boulevard, the plastic orange bitcoin plaque used to be additionally on show at Mono Congo (Howler Monkey), a well-liked breakfast and lunch cafe. A pharmacy subsequent door just lately began taking bitcoin, as did a slew of eating places and different tourist-oriented companies within the the town of Uvita, a 15-minute power south of Dominical.\n\nIn general, round 50 roving marketplace distributors and 20 brick-and-mortar companies have signed as much as the Bitcoin Jungle mission because it used to be introduced about six months in the past. The pockets app has had about 1,500 downloads, and 1,000 per thirty days energetic customers.\n\nThe mission is a main instance of the way the unique Bitcoin Seaside in El Salvador’s El Zonte — which presaged that nation’s determination to make bitcoin criminal gentle closing yr — is spurring the natural expansion of native bitcoin ecosystems in other places on the earth. It’s additionally offering extra proof that bitcoin can also be an efficient and helpful bills gadget — one thing that skeptics have lengthy rejected as a result of its sluggish transaction speeds and rather prime prices.\n\nJust like the El Zonte mission, Bitcoin Jungle’s pockets runs on the second one layer Lightning Community, making transactions massively quicker and less expensive than they’d be at the underlying bitcoin blockchain. It’s a fork of the unique Bitcoin Seaside pockets constructed with the open-source Bitcoin construction platform Galoy, however has added options like a GPS map appearing places the place bitcoin is authorized and contactless close to box conversation (NFC) fee capacity.\n\nRichard Scotford, a 50-year-old former Hong Kong resident who has been energetic in that area’s pro-democracy motion, got here up with the theory for Bitcoin Jungle as he and his spouse moved forward with plans to release an area center college at the bitcoin same old.\n\n“The extra I deep-dived bitcoin, the extra it used to be evident to me that this house used to be primed to do it,” he stated. “We simply had to get started pulling other folks over to the bitcoin same old through giving them shops to spend their bitcoin.”\n\nScotford says that Costa Rica’s economic system and monetary gadget demanded a unique means for Bitcoin Jungle. By contrast to impoverished El Salvador, Costa Rica has lengthy had one of the vital strong economies in Latin The united states, low ranges of corruption, and a rather just right lifestyle.\n\n“El Salvador is ready banking the unbanked. Costa Ricans have financial institution accounts and as a rule they aren’t wondering the monetary gadget,” Scotford stated.\n\nSo as a substitute of depending on adoption through locals, Bitcoin Jungle is basically aiming to penetrate the ranks of international vacationers who flock right here for Costa Rica’s unspoiled seashores, verdant rain forests and pristine waterfalls.\n\nGiven the approach to pay seamlessly with bitcoin, vacationers may just depart their bank cards and debit playing cards at house, or no less than again within the lodge. For his or her section, inns, eating places and retreat facilities get an get away course from painfully prime bank card charges and the danger to carry some bitcoin for the longer term. The theory is that this may sooner or later result in a round bitcoin economic system that can even attract Costa Ricans.\n\nLee Salminen, a device developer who offered his trade within the bills sector sooner than shifting to Uvita and partnering with Scotford on Bitcoin Jungle, stated he’s constructive that extra locals will come on board, particularly for the reason that Costa Rica’s personal foreign money has declined round 10% towards the buck prior to now yr.\n\nThe method of onboarding locals has been helped through one-to-one periods by which Salminen and Scotford concentrate to other folks’s monetary ache issues and give an explanation for how bitcoin can clear up them and, crucially, through giving them the choice of briefly changing it into bucks.\n\nAfter the primary week of Bitcoin Jungle going are living within the native markets, each and every seller took the approach to money out. Now, only a few are doing that, says Salminen.\n\n“It’s been an implausible development on the markets,” he stated. “Each week they arrive in and feature a subsequent stage of complicated questions on bitcoin or the economic system or inflation. Everybody has their reason why — some have a wholesome mistrust of the federal government, some have circle of relatives in far away puts and a few like to invest.”\n\nMarking your next step in improving the power to modify between bitcoin and fiat used to be the new arrival of 2 glossy new bitcoin ATMs.\n\nCosta Rica’s govt has taken a restrained way to cryptocurrencies, accepting them as criminal to make use of however caution voters that purchasing them can also be dangerous. However a contemporary COVID-19-driven droop in vacationer arrivals — when put next with a 30% leap in El Salvador because it followed bitcoin closing September — is usually a catalyst for a metamorphosis in legitimate attitudes, stated Salminen.\n\n“The tourism ministry desires to speak with us to shape an perspective of the way bitcoin may well be certain for tourism right here and use that to power regulation,” he stated.\n\nThe Czech seller Dvoracek stated he thinks that extra Costa Ricans will come round to bitcoin bills once they know it provides them the chance to unbank themselves, chopping out the want to stand in lengthy strains for products and services at banks and ATMs.\n\nFuad Yantani, a 43-year-old Chilean promoting cold-pressed juices, stated that Bitcoin Jungle bills made up a small however rising portion of his gross sales. He stated bitcoin has been helpful for making and receiving bills from different distributors too, however his longer-term objective used to be to regard it as an funding.\n\n“My thought is to avoid wasting extra of it than spend,” he stated.\n\nIt is a visitor publish through Stuart Grudgings.

"The world has set a new record for global debt levels, with $152 trillion being owed worldwide. Not only is this new record totally unprecedented, but it represents a troubling spike in global debt that doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.\n\nThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) is extremely concerned about what this could mean for economic stability across the world, and holds the belief that such unprecedented levels of debt could trigger another global debt crisis similar to 2008. As a result, the organization is doing everything in its power to push governments toward a plan that eases the weight of this crushing debt.\n\nEven more troubling, inflation in the U.S. is now rising faster than it has in months, which will cause debtors to lose momentum in paying back their debts.\n\nWe’ve been down this road before\n\nAbove all else, the IMF is worried that this new record high for global debt could be a precursor to yet another dangerous debt crisis, such as the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008. And as the new record sits at $152 trillion – or 225% of global GDP – it’s easy to understand why so many people are concerned.\n\nTo make matters worse, the IMF’s report shows that global debt has ceased to fall at all since the last worldwide financial crisis. In other words, the primary catalyst for the last crisis hasn’t gotten any better, or even stayed the same. It has gotten worse.\n\nIt’s no wonder, then, that the IMF is strongly urging governments to act now, while another crisis might still be preventable.\n\n“$152tn is a record high. In places around the world we have excessive debt. In some places we have debt, in particular non-financial corporations’ debt, growing very fast.\n\n“A crucial message from the fiscal monitor is that when private debt is on an unsustainable path it is important to intervene early on in the process to make sure financial crises and recessions can be prevented.”\n\nThe IMF believes governments can start acting preventatively by creating programs to restructure debt and by working with creditors to extend repayment periods. But there’s no guarantee that will fix the problem.\n\nInflation might be about to make things much worse\n\nGovernments can work to make debt easier to repay, but there are external factors like inflation that make the whole situation much harder to control.\n\nU.S inflation is rising faster than it has in the past five months, which adds fuel to the fire in two separate ways.\n\nFirst of all, it makes debt harder to repay. When inflation goes up, everybody’s spending power goes down, including debtors. Second, it could encourage the Fed rate hike we’ve been hearing about all year, which again would place debtors in a position that makes their debt harder to repay.\n\nIf the IMF is right and it’s too late to solve this debt crisis, is it time to consider gold?\n\nThere’s a good chance that the IMF’s warning could either:\n\n1) Fall on deaf ears, or fail to inspire governments to take action.\n\n2) Simply be coming too late for us to prevent the inevitable.\n\nRegardless, setting aside some of your savings in gold before the situation deteriorates further could be a very smart decision."

"Raymond became the Red Wings' highest draft pick since they took Keith Primeau third overall in 1990 when he was drafted with the fourth-overall pick at the 2020 NHL Entry Draft last October. The 19-year-old spent the 2020-21 campaign with Frolunda in the Swedish Hockey League, notching 18 points (6-12-18) and 12 penalty minutes in 34 games. Despite missing 18 games due to injury, Raymond still finished 10th on the team in points and tied for fourth in SHL scoring among junior-aged players, with fellow Red Wings prospects Moritz Seider and Albert Johansson among the group of players ahead of him. His offensive output also bested his SHL rookie-year totals of 2019-20, when he tallied 10 points (4-6-10) in 33 games. Raymond debuted professionally with Frolunda at age 16 and has skated in 77 games with the team since 2018-19, totaling 30 points (12-18-30), a plus-eight rating and 16 penalty minutes. He also won back-to-back championships with Frolunda in the Champions League tournament in 2019 and 2020.\n\nThe Gothenburg, Sweden, native also represented his country this season at the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship as one of five Red Wings prospects on the team. Raymond tied for the team lead with five points (2-3-5) in five games, following up a bronze-medal winning performance at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship when he registered four points (2-2-4) in seven games. Raymond has played extensively at the international level for Sweden, including at the 2019 IIHF World Under-18 Championship when he racked up eight points (4-4-8) in seven games, including a hat trick and overtime winner in the gold medal game against Russia. He also recorded seven points (4-3-7) in six games to capture bronze at the 2018 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge and a team-leading seven points (5-2-7) in five games at the 2018 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, where he was awarded a silver medal."

"Determining Our Own Destiny in Palestine and Beyond\n\nFrom the Refugee Camp to the United States",
null,
"I was born in Jalazone Refugee Camp in 1951 (north of Ramallah in the West Bank). My parents came from a village near Lod called Beit Nabala but became refugees along with my grandparents, uncles and aunts after the 1948 war. My family now lives in refugee camps throughout the West Bank and in Jordan. When I was very young, my Dad was able to get a job with the Jordanian Department of Agriculture in a low level position and quickly move us out of the refugee camp. He did what he had to do to provide for us. We lived in a small two room house in Jerusalem that had no electricity, no running water, an outdoor bathroom and no kitchen. It was like we were camping our whole lives!\n\nGrowing up, I had a deep connection to the refugee camps, especially in the West Bank because it wasn’t very far from Jerusalem. On holidays, weddings and funerals we always went to the camps and saw family. The refugee camps in the early days, of what I can remember, were pretty desperate. My recollection is that when we would go see my grandparents, aunts and uncles, they wouldn’t have enough food, so we would always have to go to UNRWA and stand in line to get a bowl of soup. Life was not very pleasant. It was harsh.\n\nOver some time the camps went from tents to cinder blocks. But no one had running water, electricity, heat, or indoor plumbing. Bathrooms in the camp were public, one for men, one for women and out in the open. It was pretty awful, but let me put it this way, people were living with hope that someday they would be able to go back to their country. Sadly, that did not happen for us.\n\nI went to public schools in Jerusalem from first grade all the way through high school. At 17, I traveled to Kansas in the United States to study chemistry. I didn’t know anyone and it was a one way ticket! After college, my first job was at Boeing while going to graduate school. Soon there were layoffs in the aircraft industry so I immediately went into the meatpacking business. It was the only job available and I worked as a chemist with tallow (animal fats), oils and other things like that. Ironically, the inedible tallow that they were making at the company reminded me of the same stuff we used to get from the UN in the camps. We would get flour, lard and other food like it. So I immediately recognized it.\n\nAfter meatpacking, I worked in the salt business and moved to Sterling, Kansas. My wife at the time and I had three children together in Sterling, two boys and one girl. One son is now a lawyer, the other is a doctor and my daughter is a psychologist.\n\nDetermining My Own Destiny\n\nAfter years working for other companies I started my own chemical company since I wanted to determine my destiny. I started an oil and gas company and traveled to the Middle East a lot while learning more about the wider Arab world. I then focused my business in the United States, built a company and sold it. Now I am able to devote my time to working on a new cancer treatment utilizing a plant that grows in Palestine called Arum palaestinum or in Arabic, Loof. Loof is a weed that grows wild around Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Ramallah, and other places in Palestine.\n\nI took the plant over here, extracted it, tested it tried to figure out why it works to alleviate the symptoms of cancer and why my people use it. I was able to identify its active ingredients and synthesize them to develop a drug that has now been approved by the FDA to start human clinical trials for phase one. It’s a pretty big accomplishment and I am thankful it worked out. The trials begin sometime in January 2019 and I hope to make this drug available to my people as well as the world.\n\nBoth of my parents have passed away, but I still have a sister and brother, as well as nieces and nephews that live in Jerusalem. A majority of my extended relatives live in refugee camps in the Ramallah area and also in Jordan. When my parents were alive, I would go home to Palestine pretty frequently. Whenever I land in Tel Aviv and ride the taxi from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, I breathe the air and tears start flowing. This is my home. This is my country. That will never be forgotten.\n\nWhy I Give to Anera\n\nI first heard about Anera when I received a flyer. I don’t remember who or where I got it, but I started reading about the organization and realized it is a serious relief and development organization dedicated to helping Palestinians throughout the Middle East. I remember it showed a young kid, maybe 5 or 6 years old and there was text that asked, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” followed by the young boy saying in quotes, “I want to drive a cement truck!” That flyer touched my heart in a big way.\n\nEven a 5 year-old can be thinking about construction and building, it’s within us Palestinian people. We are hardworking, we look to the future, we want to build. Even that kid was given the message that he wants to drive a cement truck so he can help build the country from destruction. So that is when I started paying attention and donating to Anera. It was quite a moving experience.\n\nAs I follow Anera’s work, I can see there continues to be a lot of need in Palestine. That is why I think it’s important to be involved with Anera. I just hope and pray that one day we will have the freedom to determine our own destiny and have a country of our own, where we can live in peace with everyone and so our people can prosper."

"This Tbilisi courtyard may look abandoned, but the hanging clothes reveal that someone is living here.\n\nTbilisi, as I mentioned in my Gravity From Above diary, was a rude shock to my American system at first. It just seemed like pure chaos on some level that I had never encountered before. Travelers to India, Africa, certain parts of South America will I’m sure bring back even more intense observations than mine. Nevertheless I have traveled most of America, much of Canada, maybe two thirds of Europe, as far as Romania, and to Juarez, Mexico. I’ve seen things that gave me a sense of culture shock before, but nothing on the level of Tbilisi, Georgia.",
null,
"Cats at home on the streets Tbilisi.\n\nIt was swirling blooming confusion of signs and cars, cats, people on the streets and a certain casualness that I didn’t get at first. The spoken language was not related to anything else outside of the Caucasus Mountains. (For those unaware Georgian is not Russian at all.) But not only that the actual alphabet just seems like hooks and squiggles. (I’ll do an addendum on signs and the language later.)",
null,
"An older woman making her way through an intersection. (The cars were moving.)\n\nThen there is traffic. I don’t know where to begin. It seems like normal traffic at first glance. But then you slowly begin to realize that there is no traffic control. It a city of one million and one hundred thousand I counted maybe four or five stoplights. The police rarely seem to stop anyone. Yet you hear the barking of squad car loudspeakers all the time: A sound that, for these American ears, means pull over immediately. (Subtext: We’ve got guns and your license plate number and you’ll never get away.) But here? I was told they were just giving instructions. Hey you!!! Turn left!! ??? At least twice my life was in peril looking for a way to get across speeding highway traffic. Later I was told I should have used the underground passages. Which I would have used if I had seen anything like a sign I could read. Mothers with families, old ladies, giggling teen girls, men who looked unconcerned, all just simply walked in front of cars and they stopped. The key I realized was to see where the car was. Judge your luck. And go! But do NOT look the driver in the eye. If they think you see them they won’t stop. (Which I discovered was the opposite of France where eye contact stops the oncoming traffic.) I eventually learned to walk between moving cars, putting my best New York City moves to good use. And as I did my ballet around the vehicles I thought half-jokingly “Maybe this is why Georgians are such good dancers?”",
null,
"No taxes. No regulation. Everything happens on the streets.\n\nAnother thing that leapt out at me like the swipe of a bear’s claws was the street life. You see everything in Tbilisi on the streets, the good and the bad. People sell food. I don’t just mean vendors. I mean if a old man from the edge of the city in a village has a dozen extra eggs he’ll come down to the streets with his twelve eggs and wait as people walk by. And he’ll sell them one at a time if he has to. I saw a woman day after day with freshly plucked chickens selling them on the street, no refrigeration needed evidently. People sell fruit, vegetables, odds and ends. Booksellers seem to crop up everywhere, with Georgian books, Russian books and the occasional English title. And don’t even get me started on the huge swap meet at The Dry Bridge near the river. I couldn’t even begin to describe it, except to say that THAT was reason enough to visit Tbilisi all by itself. (I made a video of it that takes nearly a half hour to watch as a strait walk through.)",
null,
"Walking along I looked down into a basement. This was a bookstore. It was actually far darker down there than this photo shows.\n\nBut back to the streets. Another thing that was quite common to see was older folks, mostly women, begging on the streets. And since my own elderly mother recently passed on this hit me strongly. A sign of obvious trouble with social welfare systems. It doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum you are on in the USA. This is something you don’t want to see. In fact in America we have large industries dedicated to taking care of the aged. Or is it keeping them out of sight? The more I looked at these folks on the street the more I adjusted my eyes. It never became a good thing to me, as it isn’t to the Georgians. Yet there was something about seeing everything on the streets. There was less shame about it. And people did contribute to these people. It didn’t take too much money to fulfill ones daily needs. I reckoned that if I was really desperate I could live on less than five dollars a day for food easily. And stay full. The more I saw these old women, the more I realized that they tended to occupy one area regularly and they had people who would give to them regularly. Which was similar to the homeless in New York City. The difference is that in New York you rarely saw people who reminded you of your mother or grandmother on the streets.",
null,
"It was not raining. A women with a plastic tub for begging. She was one of the few that hid their faces as they asked for change.\n\nOther things: Construction was going on everywhere. And ancient buildings sat in habitable decay everywhere. (See the photo at the top.) And there were nice stores all over. And one street might seem fashionable and next to it might seem like the end of the world. The sidewalks were uneven. Stores sprouted from holes in the wall. Traffic never stopped swirling. I only mastered about half of the alphabet while I was there, but there was Latin script in enough places to figure out how to navigate. The metro made sense. The buses were almost impossible. And I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.",
null,
"But here’s what I began to see, and this meshed with my observations about Orthodox culture, my American culture is far more organized than I ever realized before. No one seems to collect taxes on these street vendors that I can see, yet they can make extra money for themselves. We have rules for absolutely everything: Protecting consumers, traffic flow, jaywalking, safety, even our children live in an age appropriate world. Even the most laissez faire anarcho-whatever in North America has never experienced anything like this. We all want a net to catch us when we fall. And yet I looked at this and realized that on some level this was more human. There was a net actually. The government provided some amenities and was learning to do more. But the net, the real net, was a thing called family, extended family, and a network of acquaintances. And I was actively beginning to appreciate this chaos. Because the more I looked at it the more I could see a different kind of order, almost invisible to the outsider, holding up the structure of Georgian society.",
null,
"How to sell clothes in Georgia.\n\nNow there many troubles in Georgia. As you can see I’m not romantic about the country. And there are many deeper and darker layers of problems I am not qualified to address. But there is one area I can discuss. As Georgia enters the contemporary world it will, and has already begun to, experience the problems of a highly technocratic postmodern age. I’ll deal with that next time.",
null,
"A typical electrical pole in Tbilisi.\n\nBut let me say this about my time in Tbilisi. I walked down dark streets at night. Houses all turned away from the road sequestered in courtyards. In all of my wanderings I never ever felt endangered. Never once felt that someone was watching me in a predatory fashion. Bucharest, Prague, Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, London, New York, Seattle, even Juneau here in Alaska all have given me more of a shiver of unease than anything I experienced in Tbilisi walking through the dark streets at night. Our order seems a bit like a mirage when I consider it. We live in a society where we thrive on rights. And while rights and the law are crucial to living, I can’t help feeling that often we only have rights left. And if you step on them, then comes the crush of the rules, of the law. Everyone wants what’s theirs. Maybe in Georgia they are a little less concerned with getting everything due to them. Maybe after their extremely rocky history many are glad to simply be here.",

"WOODS HOLE, MA — A selective mating experiment by a curious butterfly breeder has led scientists to a deeper understanding of how butterfly wing color is created and evolves. The study, led by scientists at University of California, Berkeley, and the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, is published Apr. 7 in eLife.\n\nWhen the biologists happened upon the breeder's buckeye butterflies—which normally are brown—sporting brilliant blue wings through selective mating, they jumped on the chance to explore what caused the change in color of the tiny, overlapping scales that produce the wing's color mosaic and pattern. They found that buckeyes and other Junonia species can create a rainbow of structural colors simply by tuning the thickness of the wing scale's bottom layer (the lamina), which creates iridescent colors in the same way a soap bubble does.\n\nStructural color, often used in butterflies and other animals to create blue and green, is created by microscopic structures interacting with light to intensify some colors and diminish others. In contrast, pigmentary coloration is created by the absorption of specific colors (wavelengths) of light and is commonly employed to create colors such as yellow, orange, and brown.\n\n\"It was a surprise to find that the lamina, a thin sheet that looks very simple and plain, is the most important source of structural color in so many butterfly wing scales,\" says first author Rachel Thayer. Previous studies of structural coloration had largely focused on some extreme examples and mostly involved analyzing complex, 3D shapes on the top of the scales.",
null,
"First, the team showed that blueness in the selectively bred buckeye wings was, in fact, structural color and was generated largely by the lamina. They then compared these blue scales with wild-type brown scales, and found the same general architecture except the lamina was about 75 percent thicker in the blue scales. Finally, they measured lamina thickness in nine species of Junonia and a tenth species, Precis octavia, and found a consistent relationship with scale color.\n\n\"In each Junonia species, structural color came from the lamina. And they are producing a big range of lamina thicknesses that create a rainbow of different colors, everything from gold to magenta to blue to green,\" says Thayer. \"This helps us understand how structural color has evolved over millions of years.\" The color shifts as lamina thickness increases according to Newton's series, a characteristic color sequence for thin films, the team found.\n\n\"The color comes down to a relatively simple change in the scale: the thickness of the lamina,\" says senior author Nipam Patel, director of the Marine Biological Laboratory. \"We believe that this will be a genetically tractable system that can allow us to identify the genes and developmental mechanisms that can control structural coloration.\" They identified one gene, optix, that can regulate lamina structural colors, and are currently searching for other candidates.\n\nIt was fortunate that the butterfly farmer, Edith Smith, had chosen buckeyes (Junonia coenia) for her mating experiment. For a variety of reasons, it is an ideal species for scientists to work with. \"The buckeye genome is sequenced and other labs are working with it and have developed a number of experimental tools and protocols,\" Patel says. \"And it grows reasonably well in the lab, which is a big plus because many butterflies can be hard to raise.\"\n\nSmith's bred buckeyes, which displayed \"rapid evolution\" from brown scales to blue, helped them to understand that the same, simple mechanism of tuning lamina thickness can facilitate evolutionary change that can span just several generations or millions of years."

"A kicker for Oregon’s Willamette University became the first active college football player to come out publicly when he announced to his team — and the world — that he is bisexual.\n\nConner Mertens came out to his coach and to his teammates, and then to the world, this month after years of keeping his identity a secret. In a profile for Out Sports, Mertens described how he felt a youngster growing up in a conservative town.\n\n“For me growing up, I always felt the biggest thing that caused my depression was the feeling of being alone,” he said. “I hate the stereotypes that go along with liking the same sex. You don’t have to follow the stereotype to be this way. I made the decision that if I could help anyone else avoid feeling the way I felt, I would.”\n\nWhile coming out might have been daunting, Mertens received nothing but love and support from his team.\n\n“Coach didn’t blink an eye,” he told Out Sports. “He talked about how they don’t build football players at Willamette, they build men, and that he was proud that I could tell him this about myself.”\n\nAfter coming out to those close to him, Mertens came out to world. He posted a letter to Twitter about his decision.\n\n“I finally love the person I see in the mirror for the first time in my life,” he wrote, in part. “Unless you have had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds you may not understand the importance of being able to be… you.”",

So finally to be able to joke about it, to be honest about it, not have to put on this mask, I’m finally able to take a deep breath.”\n\nThe 19-year-old told the Oregonian he likes and has dated women but is currently in a relationship with a man from Portland who goes to school in Washington.",

null,
"A coal museum in Kentucky is switching to solar power.\n\nThe Kentucky Coal Mining Museum, nestled in the heart of coal country, might seem like an odd place for a solar project. But the solar panels currently being installed on its roof will ultimately save thousands in electricity costs.\n\nThe museum is located in the small town of Benham, a former coal camp. Now, the town will partially run on solar: The excess power from the museum’s solar project will feed into the town’s grid.\n\n“It is a little ironic,” Brandon Robinson, communications director at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, which owns the museum, told WYMT. “But you know, coal and solar and all the different energy sources work hand-in-hand. And, of course, coal is still king around here.”\n\nIn the 2016 election, 85 percent of Harlan County, where Benham is located, voted for Donald Trump — likely in part because of his promise to bring back coal jobs, a promise that experts say is unrealistic.\n\nMaybe those coal miners should be looking to get into the solar business."

"As I was walking in one of the many exhibitions held in Beirut, I bumped into an acquaintance of mine that I had met on Instagram.\n\nI cannot really recall how we got into the subject of me being a single mother, but her question came to me as a shock: “Do you know who the father is?”\n\nTo her defense, she has lived abroad most of her life, and in that part of the world one of the definitions of a single mother can be due to a one night stand where one is under heavy influence of alcohol and does not recall much of the evening up until the day comes and the woman finds out that she is knocked up!\n\nNot really the scenario here, for somehow the men in our society consider their daughters and sisters to be untouched even when married.\n\nThis gave me the need to write about who single moms really are.\n\nWell, we all know that a mom is someone that has birthed a child.\nAnd the single part in single mom is an uncoupled woman.\nSo technically a single mother is someone that has lost her husband to death, divorced, or the less common situation in Lebanon, the country of my origins, is the unplanned pregnancy with a man who is not a partner.\n\nDoes this really sum up single mothers?\n\nHow about the case that has been all over the news the past week about a mother being imprisoned because she kept her baby boy with her after: ( bare with me here for I’m still trying to grasp the idea)\n\nBut hang on a second here, isn’t divorce or separation in any form the first rule to custody rights?\n\nfor fact number 3- is: The boys parents, meaning the woman in jail is still married to the man claiming custody over the child, Yaani her HUSBAND!!!\n\nI am really lost and confused, this woman is still married but falls under the penalties of divorce?\n\nHow is that even possible???\n\nThis got me realising that we are very ignorant regarding laws, our rights vs responsibilities when it comes to all of these “قانون الاحوال الشخصية” which translates as Law of Personal Status so i decided to team up with a few lawyers to learn and raise awareness regarding it.\n\nI need your help here.\n\nIf anyone has any special question or wonders about any specific situation please do raise it for that is the only way we can cover as many topics as possible that are relevant to each and every single one of us.\n\nGoing back to the big title here, Single Mothers, regardless of the situation that has put the lady in that category, all I can say is that these women deserve all the respect and support that can be given.\nSome are lost and in need of guidance, others are burdened and need to be heard and that is not to mention the emotional support that is vital for we are the softest creatures and nothing can make us feel better than lots and lots of love."

"The second episode of “Saturday Night Live” opened with another impeachment related sketch, this time taking place in the office of Vice President Mike Pence.\n\nPence (played by Beck Bennett) gathered Rudy Giuliani (Kate McKinnon) and Attorney General William Barr (Aidy Bryant) for a crisis meeting to decide how they’re going to deal with the ongoing impeachment proceedings against the President.\n\nLater in the sketch, Matthew Broderick joined the party as Mike Pompeo, quipping that he is desperate to find an alternative country to live in in case the impeachment proceedings force him out of the U.S.\n\n“Impeachment happens pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around, you might miss it,” said Broderick’s Pompeo, referencing the iconic line from Broderick’s career-making role in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”\n\nMcKinnon’s Giuliani (and Bryant’s Barr expressed surprise that Pompeo could make it given that he has been subpoenaed as a part of the inquiry. However, much like the evasive Ferris Bueller, Pompeo managed to give the inquiry the slip by replacing himself with a creepy mechanized version of himself.\n\nThe members of Trump’s inner circle brainstormed some ideas as to how to get out of the current impeachment predicament.\n\n“We need to close ranks, like the Mafia,” suggested said McKinnon’s Giuliani.\n\n“Except the Mafia was like smart, they didn’t go on Fox News and tell people the crimes before they did them,” replied Broderick’s Pompeo.\n\nThe assembled company decided that the one thing they needed to do was at least “get their stories straight.”\n\n“Even if they’re not straight now, they could still be converted to straight right,” said Bennett’s Pence, referring to allegations leveled at the Vice President of being in favor of “conversion therapy.”\n\nAlso making a brief appearance in the sketch was Ben Carson (Kenan Thompson), who seemed to have forgotten what his role is in the current administration.\n\n“I’ve been sitting in my empty office for three years, does anybody know what my job is supposed to be,” asked Thompson’s Carson.\n\nThe assembled company replied with shrugs and indifference.\n\nAt one point, Giuliani left the VP’s office to go and appear on Fox news, before returning in Joker make up saying that he had killed Sean Hannity. The “Joker” film, which has drawn controversy for its violent scenes, hit theaters yesterday.\n\nTrump’s senior policy advisor Stephen Miller came in near the very end of the sketch to offer Pence some advice. Only he appeared in the form of a snake popping his head out of a basket, hissing to Pence about what his solution to the impeachment debacle might be.\n\nLater in the show, weekend update with Colin Jost and Michael Che continued the impeachment discussion. Che likened Trump and his actions to the character of Lennie in “Of Mice and Men,” while Jost read a joke that the media might soon start referring to the President as “former President Trump,” in response to Trump saying this week that he would now be referring to the media as “the corrupt media.”\n\nJost also cracked a joke about Senator Bernie Sanders and the recent revelation that he suffered a heart attack while on the campaign trail in Las Vegas. McKinnon reprised the role of Sanders’ rival for the Democratic nomination, Senator Elizabeth Warren, to address the fake sex scandal which emerged this week.\n\nRecent Emmy winner and “Fleabag” creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge was the host of this week’s show, and Taylor Swift was the musical guest."

"BBC: The first drug to slow the destruction of the brain in Alzheimer’s has been heralded as momentous and historic.\n\nThe research breakthrough ends decades of failure and shows a new era of drugs to treat Alzheimer’s – the most common form of dementia – is possible.\n\nYet the medicine, lecanemab, has only a small effect and its impact on people’s daily lives is debated.\n\nAnd the drug works in the early stages of the disease, so most would miss out without a revolution in spotting it.\n\nLecanemab attacks the sticky gunge – called beta amyloid – that builds up in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s.\n\nFor a medical field littered with duds, despair and disappointment, some see these trial results as a triumphant turning point.\n\nOne of the world’s leading researchers behind the whole idea of targeting amyloid 30 years ago, Prof John Hardy, said it was “historic” and was optimistic “we’re seeing the beginning of Alzheimer’s therapies”. Prof Tara Spires-Jones, from the University of Edinburgh, said the results were “a big deal because we’ve had a 100% failure rate for a long time”.\n\nCurrently, people with Alzheimer’s are given other drugs to help manage their symptoms, but none change the course of the disease.\n\nLecanemab is an antibody – like those the body makes to attack viruses or bacteria – that has been engineered to tell the immune system to clear amyloid from the brain.\n\nAmyloid is a protein that clumps together in the spaces between neurons in the brain and forms distinctive plaques that are one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s.",
null,
"The large-scale trial involved 1,795 volunteers with early stage Alzheimer’s. Infusions of lecanemab were given every fortnight.\n\nThe results, presented at the Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease conference in San Francisco and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, are not a miracle cure. The disease continued to rob people of their brain power, but that decline was slowed by around a quarter over the course of the 18 months of treatment.\n\nThe data is already being assessed by regulators in the US who will soon decide whether lecanemab can be approved for wider use. The developers – the pharmaceutical companies Eisai and Biogen – plan to begin the approval process in other countries next year.\n\nDavid Essam, who is 78 and from Kent in the UK, took part in the international trial.\n\nHis Alzheimer’s meant he had to give up work as a joiner – he could no longer remember how to build a cabinet or use his tools. He now uses a digital watch as he can’t tell time using a clock face.\n\n“He’s not the man he was, he needs help with most things, his memory in general is almost non-existent,” said his wife Cheryl. But she said the trial had given the family hope.\n\nDavid said: “If somebody can slow it [Alzheimer’s] down and eventually stop it all together that would be brilliant, it’s just a horrible nasty thing.”\n\nThere are more than 55 million people in the world like David and the numbers with Alzheimer’s disease are projected to exceed 139 million by 2050.\n\nWill it make a difference?\n\nThere is debate among scientists and doctors about the “real world” impact of lecanemab.\n\nThe slower decline with the drug was noticed using ratings of a person’s symptoms. It’s an 18-point scale, ranging from normal through to severe dementia. Those getting the drug were 0.45 points better off.\n\nProf Spires-Jones said that was a “small effect” on the disease, but “even though it is not dramatic, I would take it”.\n\nDr Susan Kohlhaas, from Alzheimer’s Research UK, said it was a “modest effect… but it gives us a little bit of a foothold” and the next generation of drugs would be better.\n\nThere are also risks. Brain scans showed a risk of brain bleeds (17% of participants) and brain swelling (13%). Overall, 7% of people given the drug had to stop because of side effects.\n\nA crucial question is what happens after the 18 months of the trial, and the answers are still speculation.\n\nSlow that decline by a quarter and it could equate to an extra 19 months of independent life, “but we don’t know that yet”, she says.\n\nIt is even scientifically plausible that the effectiveness could be greater in longer trials. “I don’t think we can assume that this is it,” says Dr Kohlhass.\n\nThe emergence of drugs that do alter the course of the disease asks big questions of whether the health service is ready to use them.\n\nThe drugs have to be given early in the disease before too much damage to the brain is done, whereas most people referred to memory services are in the later stages of the disease.\n\nThat requires people coming forward at the earliest signs of memory problems and doctors being able to send them for amyloid tests – either brain scans or spinal fluid analysis – to a determine if they have Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. At the moment only 1-2% of people with dementia have such tests.\n\n“There’s an enormous gulf between current service provision and what we need to do, to deliver disease modifying therapies,” said Dr Coulthard.\n\nShe said that, currently, only those living near big medical centres or paying privately were likely to benefit.\n\nScientists also stressed that amyloid was only one part of the complex picture of Alzheimer’s disease and should not become the sole focus of therapies.\n\nThe immune system and inflammation are heavily involved in the disease and another toxic protein called tau is the one that’s found where brain cells are actually dying.\n\n“That’s where I would put my money,” said Prof Spires-Jones.\n\nShe added: “I’m very excited we’re on the cusp of understanding enough to get a hold of the problem and we should have something that will make a bigger difference in a decade or so.”"

"Deepfake: How Deep Can You Fake It?",
null,
"From Bruce Willis’s Deepfake movie, Barack Obama calling Donald Trump a ‘complete dipshit’, to pornographic videos starring your favorite celebrities that enrage feminists. Deepfake has created some of the greatest yet most terrifying videos just by collecting a bunch of data sets and 2 machine learning models. Deepfake is a technology using a powered computer and deep learning to create a faux image or video of a person impersonating others. Before we deep dive into the messy world of Deepfake, we first have to understand its history and also how it works.\n\nDeepfake was first famed by a Reddit user named ‘Deepfakes’, who posted a developed machine learning algorithm that morphs celebrity faces flawlessly onto pornographic videos. The idea of video manipulation itself is not new. In the 1990s, there has been some universities’ academic research in computer vision. Back then video manipulation is focused on AI and ML, just to modify videos of people talking and merge them with another audio track. The reason why it is more likely to have celebrities or well-known figure as Deepfake victims are because there are so much data such as images and videos that allow the models to train and get better coverage of their physical features.\n\nDeepfakes work with two different machine learning models that implement GAN, a generative adversarial network. GAN has two neural networks that will challenge each other to create a product from previous data. The first component is called the generator. It creates an image or video from the data sets, using the knowledge it has been thought. While the second component, the discriminator, will check if the product is real or fake. This way, the discriminator will keep challenging the generator to create a more real product.\n\nThe Deepfake technology or GAN was developed by Ian Goodwell, a computer scientist, with the intention to create the most realistic image using machine learning. But then, when it is not used properly by the public or those who do not understand the ethics. Some of the ethical concerns of Deepfake are pornography, illegal commercial use, and politics. There are also some questions regarding the rights of one’s face and voice even after one dies. Simply with Deepfake, one can create their own scenario that can lead to false information that may put others in danger.\n\nThere are some ways where we can prevent the spread of incorrect information all across the internet. For now, we can detect if a video or image is edited with our bare eyes. But then there are concerns about how Deepfake can produce a such product where it will be perfectly realistic to our eyes. Other than that, companies such as Microsoft and Facebook created a challenge called DFDC that encourages others to participate in the creation of the technology that can be used to detect if an AI has been used to manipulate a video or image that might lead to fake news."

"Here’s the good news: while books may have a shelf life, writers don't. We don’t have to do our best work by the age of twenty, and, in fact, for most of us, our best work will come much later than that. Are you 45 and you haven’t yet published a book? 60? 65? No worries.\n\nThe path is long because it can be. As long as you are lucid, you can write, and you’ll probably get better as you go.\n\nWhen I began writing, I saw myself as a writer of short stories. I only started writing a novel after hearing from many agents, in numerous rejection letters, to get back to them when I had a novel.\n\nAs it turned out, after writing my first novel, I was hooked. So I wrote another one, The Year of Fog. Practically every publisher in New York City rejected it, and I was ready to throw in the towel. My agent told me to be patient. She assured me it would sell. Then one editor liked it, and the experience of publishing that novel changed my life. It spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and gained me an international audience. The Year of Fogwas followed immediately by No One You Know. It felt like I was on a roll.\n\nBut then reality hit. It was six years before I published my next novel, Golden State. During those six years, there were many times when I began to feel that I'd lost my way, that my career had stalled (because it had), that I would never sign another book contract. Last year, The Marriage Pact, my first psychological thriller, was published, and it was sold in 30 languages. I was really glad I hadn't given up. (Although, in truth, I can't imagine ever giving up on writing. I love it too much.)\n\nIf there's only one piece of advice I can give you about writing, it's this: If you love it, if it really matters to you, don't give up. It's okay to give up on a particular book or a particular story, or to put it aside for a while, but don't give up on the writing itself.\n\nA couple of my novels found a large audience. A couple of them came and went with no fanfare. There was a period of two years when I published two books in a row, followed by a period of six years when I didn’t publish a book at all, followed by a year in which I published two books in one month. By which I mean to say that the path changes. Sometimes it’s smooth, sometimes it’s bumpy, sometimes you feel lost in the undergrowth, sometimes the vista looks expansive and promising.\n\nWhat matters is that you keep going. Simply that. Don’t stop writing.\n\nWell, actually, maybe you’ll stop writing for a few weeks or a few months, because you’re having a baby or you started a new job or someone in your family needs a caregiver or you’re moving to a new house/new city/new relationship. That’s okay. Really—it is—as long as you start back up again.\n\nYour job is simply to write. Get on the path. Stay on it, no matter where it takes you.\n\nStay motivated with weekly assignments, video lessons and craft advice to help you write your novel. Enroll now in Novel in Nine.\n\nPhoto by James Forbes on Unsplash"

"Google is the last OEM one can expect to resort to shady behavior. However, their recent actions speak otherwise.\n\nThere were previously a ton of reports from Google Pixel 4a and 4a 5G users about touch issues that began right after the Android 11 update in September last year. Such complaints have only continued ever since.",

But the December security update seemingly undid what had been fixed as complaints saw a huge spike immediately after its rollout.\n\nFast forward to now, and even after promising a fix, nothing has changed with the latest January security patch.\n\nAs more and more inquiries started flowing in subsequently, Google once again revealed that they are working on fixing the issue and will address it with the next security patch that will land in February.\n\nIf you want to delve further into the aforementioned story in detail, then be sure to give our previous article about the same a read.\n\nHowever, as if the delays weren’t enough, Google has now mysteriously deleted the thread where the majority of the discussion was taking place.",

Well, not much should change hopefully, and the fix should roll out with the February security update as promised.\n\nHowever, there is a slight chance of the Pixel 4a touchscreen issues either being hardware-related or unfixable due to which Google decided to sweep the matter under the rug.\n\nThis possibility seems far-fetched though considering the fact that almost every user agrees that they only began to face such issues following either the Android 11 update or the December security patch.\n\nThis in turn means that the issue is most likely a software one, and hence, nothing that can’t be fixed.\n\nFor now, if you wish, you can simply open up another thread to continue putting pressure on Google to fix the issue as soon as possible without delaying it once again.\n\nThat said, if interested, be sure to check out our dedicated Android 11 bugs/issues tracker for further coverage on matters like these."

"Though Ryan McGinness creates art that’s best known in its physical forms, he’s no stranger to dig- ital mediums. His paintings and installations all include a graphic layer (or layers) born on the screen and later rendered to canvas in concert with intensive hand- and brush-work. Our past visits to his studio included as much time looking at completed pieces and work in progress as it did sitting to- gether in front of a computer.This is not to suggest that using software as a component of making art instantly prepares anyone for the tokenized web3 world. McGinness has always been a digitally savvy artist with a lot to say about the art world and as such formulated many opinions about NFTs which he shared in a Non-fungible Token Primer published last year with 30 thoughts on NFT art and some elaborations on NFT art appreciation.We recently checked in with him to find out if his assertions then are still relevant now.\n\nA lot has changed since you wrote your NFT Primer and a lot has stayed the same. Of the 30 thoughts on NFT art you shared, which are you currently most passionate about?\n\nI’m most passionate about the idea expressed in Number 22. It’s the side note:“Web 2.0 companies benefited from not being legally categorized as publishers.They asked for that non-status.According- ly, they were not responsible for the content they were publishing. Claiming to be simply platforms for user-generated content absolved them from being held accountable for that content.” This is the crux of most of the problems with the internet and internet culture. I’m surprised it’s not talked about more.“Platforms” are indeed publishers and should be held accountable for the content they make public.\n\nI also like the notes about “Empathy vs. Magic” under NFT Art Appreciation.With digital art, mystery and magic replace empathy. “We appreciate material artworks, because we can imagine how those materials were manipulated. Conspicuous material manipulation—a viscous brushstroke, for exam- ple—allows us to imagine having manipulated the material ourselves. Empathy drives appreciation in the same way we appreciate athletes, because we know what it is like to run and jump.The challenge with digital art (NFTs) is that many of us cannot empathize.They are magic tricks. Many of us don’t know how to use the tools or manipulate the materials.We are left to wonder at the warm glow of flickering lights.”\n\nAny of those 30 thoughts you’d want to rewrite or remove?\n\nOh, no. Part of the charm of the NFT Primer is in all the embarrassing parts. For example, in Num- ber 17 I wrote “punk as fuck.” That’s a bit silly. And in Number 3, I wrote “NFT artworks are pure orgasm...” That’s also a bit dramatic.\n\nMany of your thoughts on NFT art are very relevant to all mediums. Same for the NFT Art Appreciation section. At times I felt like this was an art apprecia- tion primer for crypto kids more than an NFT primer for the art world. Would you agree?\n\nYes, definitely. The NFT Art Appreciation notes apply to all art. In fact, those notes can be applied to just about anything you want to appreciate. Lately, I’ve been thinking about the idea of “business appreciation.” There are many more criteria by which we should evaluate businesses besides profit- ability.Appreciating things outside yourself begins with appreciating yourself and understanding your own values and then holding those values up against the thing you’re evaluating. I think people are already tuned into this idea when evaluating businesses.\n\nIf you did agree with that last question, let’s flip it. What are the most import- ant things the art world needs to understand about web3 and NFTs?\n\nI’m not sure NFTs and web3 should be understood by “the art world.” Actually, the first thing to understand is that there really is no singular “art world.” There are many art worlds—from all the different stratospheres of the museum world, to the different layers of galleries, and from community-driven art worlds to various subculture art worlds. NFTs are really just another world to emerge and be added to the overall art omniverse.The NFT world cannot be absorbed or co-opted by any of the other art spheres.This was Christie’s [the auction house] mistake in positioning that goofy NFT in the context of more serious art.That’s why people were so upset by it, because they were trying to put it into an existing box instead of just appreciating it for what it was: just something wonderfully silly.They used the market to define it as culturally valuable instead of just allowing it to be expensive crap.There is nothing wrong with expensive crap.There is a market for everything. When those world membranes rub up against each other, you get the situation described in Number 28:Arty McArtface.\n\nYou’ve minted a few things [like the animation “RM.NFT.3.TheLanguageGame” which is embedded below]. Was there anything about that process that influ- enced your perception of the medium?\n\nSince my work has always had a digital component, there wasn’t much that was new to me in terms of the medium. But on the market side, I was surprised to find that the same old tenets hold true. Market value is equal parts projection and reception. I had to decide how I value my NFTs in rela- tion to my already established works. Do I value them the same as a large painting? The same as a small painting? A work on paper? An editioned work? I felt that projecting a value of anything less than equivalent to a work on paper would be a disservice to the NFT community. I did not want to assert that NFTs are incidental to me. I did not want to position them as insignificant. So, my NFTs are one-of-a-kind works of art that are priced at a premium in terms of NFTs and as equivalent to one of my unique works on paper (about $20k). Now, my projections have not yet been received, so no market has yet been established. Middlemen are required to bridge that gap.This is Number 20: Why Gatekeep the Gatekeepers?\n\nAdditionally, as noted in Number 17:The Market Is the Medium, the purchase of an NFT artwork is a symbolic gesture that creates the work.This means that NFTs only exist in the marketplace and only exist in public. I make paintings in my studio, and then I choose to make them public. Sometimes they remain private and remain privately held.You can’t make a private NFT. It is an art that must be seen by others in order to exist. It is an art for entertainment. It is art as entertainment. Also see Number 9: Entertainment.\n\nAny plans to release new NFTs created in a manner that’s unique to the medium?\n\nOh, yes. I’m ready with my second set of three unique works.These second three are very simple— just black and white. Perhaps animated. In fact, there is really no need for an NFT to manifest visually. See Note 15: Material Is Immaterial.\n\nAs you look at the NFT space what genres of work or which artists are you most excited about?\n\nI like the gamification of the market. See Note 23: Day-Trading Art: Now we can sell art without all the messiness of art.",

"According to trend forecasters, the ‘90s are back, but anyone who was old enough to beg their mom for a pair of JNCOs knows ‘80s sitcoms are far better at offering a soothing respite from the world of today’s 24/7 news cycle and (honestly? Kind of stressful!) prestige television. Thankfully, Amazon Prime has a choice selection of frothy, fast-paced comedies whose characters usually solve their problems in 30 minutes or less, whether they’re coping with the everyday drain of gentrification, adjusting to college life, dealing with seriously weird workplaces, or simply convincing a furry new family member that the pet cat is not for dinner.\n\nHere are the best ‘80s sitcoms available on Amazon Prime to watch on demand right now.\n\nAdapted from a play by writer/sitcom creator Christine Houston, 227 stars Marla Gibbs as Mary Jenkins, a stay-at-home mom who rules the roost and the stoop at her apartment building in Washington, D.C., alongside her best friend Rose (the late Alaina Reed Hall). 227 features a wonderful ensemble that includes Regina King in her first acting role as Mary’s daughter, Brenda; Hal Williams as Mary's husband, Lester; the delightful Helen Martin as wisecracking neighbor Pearl; and Jackée Harry, who won an Emmy for her role in 1987, as the flirtatious bombshell Sandra. The show, which recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, was part of a wave of sitcoms notable for normalizing middle-class, Black nuclear families in pop culture. (As a bonus, watch this brilliant homage to 227 on A Black Lady Sketch Show featuring Gibbs and Harry alongside the BLSS cast.)\n\nHow to watch: 227 is available to stream on Amazon Prime.\n\nThis spin-off of The Cosby Show follows Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) on her journey to adulthood at Hillman College, the fictional HBCU that her television parents also attended. The coed misadventures of Denise and her roomies Maggie (then-newcomer Marisa Tomei), a white journalism student from Minnesota, and Jaleesa (Dawnn Lewis), a 26-year-old divorcée, along with delicate Southern belle Whitley (Jasmine Guy) and cutie Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), were immediately addictive, as were their fashions. However, behind-the-scenes trouble and a surprise pregnancy for Bonet and then-husband Lenny Kravitz meant a second season shake-up and total reshaping in the adept hands of the legendary Debbie Allen. Although not all of the episodes hold up, the show broke ground in terms of talking about HIV/AIDs, safer sex, misogyny, and other heavy topics.\n\nHow to watch: A Different World is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nThe Tanners are a rather ordinary family with one seriously weird secret, and that secret’s name is ALF, aka \"Alien Life Form\" — or Gordon Shumway, as he’s known on his home planet of Melmac. How to explain ALF, a primetime comedy starring a furry extraterrestrial puppet who tells Borscht Belt-style jokes and tries to eat the family cat alongside the family who seems to risk their safety (and definitely their sanity) by hiding him, except to say that the ‘80s were exceptionally strange and you just had to be there? In addition to the late Max Wright as patriarch Willie Tanner, ALF’s ensemble includes beloved character actors Paul Dooley and Anne Meara of “Stiller and Meara” fame. In a strange twist, Anne’s son Ben Stiller played ALF writer Jerry Stahl in a film adaptation of Stahl’s addiction memoir Permanent Midnight, which used a nightmarish fictional TV show called Mr. Chompers in lieu of ALF.\n\nHow to watch: ALF is available to stream on Amazon Prime, via IMDb TV.\n\nMany decades before Ted Danson stole the show as a devilishly handsome silver fox on The Good Place, he spiced up primetime as Sam Malone, a former pro baseball player who drank his career away, only to find himself the proprietor of a charming neighborhood watering hole where everybody, well, you know. Sam spends his days and nights slinging drinks alongside his former coach, Coach; fiery cocktail waitress Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman); and erudite fish-out-of-water Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), a new cocktail waitress whom he spends several seasons flirting with in between flings. The witty banter, guest stars, and celeb appearances, as well as an overall cozy vibe between Sam and his regulars (Cliff, Norm, and, yes, Frasier and Lilith) make Cheers a timeless classic. And don't forget about baby-faced Woody Harrelson, who joined as a main character in the fourth season.\n\nHow to watch: Cheers is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nBack before “boomer” was a dirty word, Family Ties portrayed a happily married couple of grownup hippies, Steven and Elyse Keaton, and the seemingly low-stakes friction between them and their less idealistic kids — especially their Young Republican son, Alex, who was played by Michael J. Fox with a certain warmth that the creators might not have intended the little Reaganite to have. Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter star as the thoughtful, loving parents struggling to imbue their kids with a more liberal outlook than the materialistic ‘80s would engender. Family Ties also boasts a constellation of fascinating guest stars, including Tom Hanks in a very special episode about alcoholism.\n\nHow to watch: Family Ties is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nIf you’ve ever dreamed of retiring to Florida with a crew of your best friends, dating as a spicy septuagenarian, or simply hitting people with your purse and getting away with it, chances are high that Golden Girls is your ultimate comfort show. Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia couldn’t be more different, but their love and loyalty for each other make them enduring icons for anyone invested in creating their own chosen family and growing old with wit and vigor. Stars Rue McClanahan, Betty White, Estelle Getty, and Bea Arthur all had vibrant careers before joining the cast — including acting in seminal feminist TV shows Maude and The Mary Tyler Moore Show — but Golden Girls cemented them in the pantheon of pop culture.\n\nHow to watch: Golden Girls is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nGrowing Pains was a long-running family fave notable for showing a stay-at-home working dad (played by the late Alan Thicke, father of Robin) running the household while his wife (Joanna Kerns) heads back into the workforce as a badass reporter. Of course, it was also notable for the crush-worthiness of its teen male star, Kirk Cameron, who was frequently featured on the cover of magazines like Tiger Beat before becoming a born-again Christian at age 17. Speaking of crushes, then-newcomer Leonardo DiCaprio joined the cast in 1991 as a homeless teen who lives with the Seavers. Some aspects of the show haven’t aged well, such as the fatphobic “jokes” lobbed at Tracey Gold’s character, which triggered an eating disorder in the young actress. However, it’s certainly an interesting time capsule of the era.\n\nHow to watch: Growing Pains is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nNight Court is definitely more of an adult sitcom for this era, in the vein of Cheers. The repartée is slightly more adult and the topic matter a bit racier — after all, it takes place during the night shift of a Manhattan municipal court in the ‘80s, way before Times Square was turned into Disneyland. The late, great Harry Anderson presides as trickster Judge Harry Stone. John Larroquette (who before he got famous did the creepy voiceover in the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre) is the sleazeball prosecutor and Markie Post is the public defender from the third season on. There's also a bevy of cool folks, like comedian Marsha Warfield, Richard Moll, and recurring appearances by John Astin, Yakov Smirnoff, and Gilbert Gottfried, among others.\n\nHow to watch: Night Court is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nIf you were a youngster in the ‘80s who ever felt kinda out of place, Punky Brewster and its themes of acceptance and chosen family was probably your jam — not to mention the incredible ‘fits young Punky pulled off in every episode, as well as the vivaciousness of star Soleil Moon Frye and her onscreen BFF Cherie Johnson. Johnson, whose uncle created the show, has since gone on to produce a number of TV shows and movies and has written several books; both she and Moon Frye are on the 2021 Peacock Punky Brewster revival. Sadly, the adult stars of the show — George Gaynes, who played the grumpy widow who reluctantly adopts Punky, and Susie Garrett, who appeared as Cherie’s grandmother — have both passed away.\n\nHow to watch: Punky Brewster is available for purchase on Amazon Prime.\n\nThe initial premise of Who’s the Boss? was pretty subversive for the ‘80s — Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) is an ultra-masculine former pro baseball player who gets a job as a housekeeper in Connecticut because he wants a better life for his daughter, Samantha (Alyssa Milano). His new boss is Angela, a high-powered ad exec played by Judith Light in all her feathered-hair glory, and while the harried single mom is happy for help, she balks at the idea of a man keeping house for her. That’s where the premise gets sort of undercut by the norms of the day — turns out Angela does need a man around, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s easy on the eyes. The will-they-won’t-they tension lasted for eight seasons, and as for the question posed by the series’ title? You’ll have to decide for yourself!\n\nHow to watch: Who’s the Boss? is available to watch for free with commercials on IMDb TV via Amazon Prime."

"The students and teachers of GEA Summer Aviation in front of a Mirage III fighter jet (casual) at ISAE in Toulouse, France\n\nWell the jury has spoken and the verdict is that seeing a Frenchman on a bicycle with an armful of baguettes actually is not that weird to see in France… you’d be surprised how many times I saw that this summer. Between my six weeks of living and studying in Toulouse as well as traveling around the country, for the first time in my life I was able to fully immerse myself in a foreign culture. This wasn’t a two-week vacation with hotel stays and restaurants every night, it was dorms and public transport and French grocery shopping. That meant breaking some stereotypes (while humorously confirming some others), but it also meant leaving behind the comfort and ease of home to be really and truly challenged.",

"Dawg Pack on the move... Three of us from UW showing our Husky pride on a spontaneous weekend trip to Barcelona\n\nIn the weeks leading up to my departure for the GEA Summer Aviation Program I was concerned that I was making a mistake – I was seeing all of my friends arrange impressive internships and reliable jobs while I was about to take a risk by venturing into the unknown. I didn’t speak French and I had never lived away from home, but I also recognized that college isn’t a job training program but an opportunity to develop skills and collect experiences that make me a more diverse and capable individual. It seemed as if the best way to achieve this was to go all-in and study abroad. Almost two months later when I returned home, I just laughed at myself for ever being worried. What I was able to learn and experience was so magnificent, I simply cannot imagine doing anything else with my summer.",

"From the Paris International Airshow: an Airbus A380 performing jumbo jet aerobatics overtop of... another Airbus A380\n\nWhen it was all said and done I traveled to seven different cities with the program (including gallivanting around a castle for a day), plus another five cities independently; I met 22 brilliantly intelligent, remarkably kind, and certifiably crazy engineering students from across the United States, all with different backgrounds and upbringings; I learned about a whole host of topics pertaining to aviation – from safety to economics to fluid mechanics and propulsion; and I went on tours of six different aviation companies, as well as the freaking International Paris Airshow! It was such a diverse set of learning experiences, and it served as a perfect counterpoint to what is taught in the classroom at home. At home the focus is on developing an in-depth technical skillset, where the GEA Summer Aviation Program focused on breadth of education, offering new perspectives on both the players in the aviation industry, and how it functions in Europe and globally. It became evident that having the ability to not just simply be a good engineer, but to see the industry from the point of view of the global market is crucial.",

"I really Louvred Paris. And I wore the Eiffel Tower as a hat. Gotta let loose sometimes, right?\n\nAlthough there was a heavy emphasis on academics, not enough can be said about the value of living abroad. I became incredibly adept in navigating metro stations like I own the place, doing my best extrovert impression and making friends with 22 other people, sucking up my embarrassment when I try to speak French and people divert to English right away (they’re always trying to be nice, but I always feel like a dolt), and becoming open to trying everything. It was all of the little things – the ones enjoyed with my new friends that would’ve been easy to avoid by clamming up and staying home – that made the summer so unique. There were big events and grandiose displays of wonder and awe, but what really had the largest impact on me were the little moments I wasn’t expecting. Moments like the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean on the beaches of Biarritz, getting caught in a torrential downpour on the cobbled streets of Poitiers with arms full of groceries (yes, including baguettes and cheese), and enjoying a drink with friends new and old on the bank of the Garonne River in Toulouse. These moments cannot be anticipated or planned, but they are facilitated by pushing the envelope of comfort, pushing past the initial feelings of intimidation and reveling in the pride of doing something completely exceptional.",

"Stunning sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean in Biarritz. Not pictured: my excessive sunburns from a weekend on the beach\n\nAs I return home and reintegrate into daily life, I know that I hold memories of experiences which are inexplicable and unable to be replicated. It’s difficult when people say “tell me about your trip!” because words just cannot convey what it meant to me. Personally, it was an incredibly rare and valuable experience and it taught me so much about handling stress, problem solving, relationship building, and socializing. Professionally, I can take my personal development and pour it into being a more unique and robust employee, as I have joined the ranks of the 3% or so of American engineering students who have studied abroad. It’s an asset that not only stands out on a resume, but will pay dividends when I’m pushed out of my comfort zone in the workplace – I am now accustomed to developing social rapport while everything else around me is alien. I have more knowledge of the aviation industry abroad, and I have learned a little bit about what is necessary to make connections with people from backgrounds which differ from mine. This is a skill that – while being profoundly valuable in the workplace – has already manifested itself in my personal behavior, proving the personal benefit of a program like this. The way I developed over my six weeks in France is completely unique to any experience I’ve had elsewhere. So go grab your beret and grab your accordion and find out for yourself why studying abroad will expand your horizons in ways you never thought were possible!"

"The actor returned to the witness stand Wednesday (May 25) for further testimony in his multimillion-dollar defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Heard. That Pirates of the Caribbean star was recalled for refuting his own team.\n\nWhen asked by his legal team if he remembered Heard testifying that he “didn’t help her get her part Aquaman‘ Depp replied, ‘That’s not entirely true.’\n\nDepp said he remembers the date Heard auditioned for the DC film because his band, the Hollywood Vampires, were scheduled to perform at the Rock and Rio Festival on September 24, 2015.\n\n“Ms. Heard wanted to come with me, and Whitney, her sister, came too,” Depp said, claiming that while they were in Rio, Heard informed him that she had to return to Los Angeles for an audition.\n\n“And that audition was at Warner Bros. Whatever movie it was,” he said.\n\nAsked what he thought happened after Heard auditioned AquamanDepp claimed she told him Warner Bros told her the film was being shot in Australia, and claimed that the filming location “worried her because it worried Warner Bros.”\n\nDepp claimed Heard asked him to speak to his contacts at the studio. “For a couple of years I’ve had a multi-movie deal with Warner Bros, so I knew these people, I’d been in movies with them, so they asked me if I’d talk to them,” he said.\n\nThe Independent has reached out to a Warner Bros representative for comment.\n\nWhen asked what the outcome of those alleged talks was, Depp said, “All I can say is that she ended up getting the job in the film, so I hope I’ve put her worries in check to some extent.”\n\nDepp’s testimony comes after the actor’s attorney pushed back an expert’s assessment of Heard’s career and comparison to the likes of Zendaya, Gal Gadot and her Aquaman co-star Jason Momoa.\n\nEntertainment consultant Kathryn Arnold said Heard could have enjoyed the same career success as Gadot, Momoa and Zendaya if it weren’t for Team Depp’s alleged “smear campaign” against her.\n\nWith the court case still ongoing, a number of high-profile figures have expressed their support for Heard, including Julia Fox, Rachel Riley and Kathy Griffin.\n\nOthers have publicly backed Depp, including celebrities like Winona Ryder, Javier Bardem and Eva Green, who appear to have sided with him in the dispute.",

"Charlotte Bell, Head of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, Passes Away\n\nCharlotte Bell, the long-time head of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, has passed away.\n\nAn email from the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) said they’re “deeply saddened” to confirm that Bell passed away peacefully this past weekend surrounded by her family.\n\n“I’ve known Charlotte since she took the helm of TIAC six years ago,” Beth Potter, president and CEO of TIAO said in a note to Canadian Travel News. “She was great to work with, and happily we became friends.\n\n“As someone who has often found themselves as the only woman in meetings and consultations, it was great to have another female leader at the table! She was wonderful with the next generation of women in our industry as well, providing mentorship. She was feisty, generous, fiercely loyal, and above all, classy,” Potter said.\n\n“She will be missed.”\n\n“Charlotte was a valued colleague and friend to many in the tourism industry and her loss will be felt by all,” TIAO officials said in their statement. “We will continue to work closely with the TIAC team to carry on Charlotte’s legacy and help with the post-pandemic recovery of Canada’s tourism industry.”\n\n“In accordance with Charlotte’s and her family’s wishes, there will be no public memorial or service and they kindly asked that any donation be directed to the Canadian Cancer Society,” said TIAC’s Board Chair, Dave McKenna.\n\n“Charlotte was a proud, strong and passionate leader for our collective cause,” McKenna said. “She was a role model for young female leaders on how to be tough, effective, and a visionary, while still leading with kindness. She leaves a proud legacy across Canada and numerous political leaders have expressed their respect, grief and common loss.”\n\n“As our federal partner in tourism advocacy, we worked closely with Charlotte on policy directives, briefings for government, and many other important initiatives. Charlotte loved British Columbia and had many friends in our industry here and all over Canada. She was a tireless advocate, especially this year during the worst crisis in our industry’s memory.\n\n“Charlotte left a legacy of compassion, commitment and resolve that we as an industry can learn from and appreciate for years to come. She will be sincerely missed,” said TIABC officials.\n\nTIAO said it “extends our deepest condolences to Charlotte’s family, friends, colleagues and anyone’s lives she has touched in some way.”\n\nBell took over as president and CEO of TIAC in April of 2015, following a career that included stints with Shaw Media, Canwest Media and the Atlantic Lottery Corporation."

"Bakari approaches a keeper for a sweet potato snack.\n\nGrévy’s zebras have become such beloved members of our Zoo family that it’s hard to remember a time without them, but it wasn’t until 2015 that mares Iggy and Zonka became the first members of their species to live here. Fellow zebra Lauren joined the herd, known as a “dazzle,” the following year.\n\nThe time has come to grow our dazzle once again. Earlier this month, a stallion named Bakari made his way to us from Denver Zoo as part of a Species Survival Plan breeding recommendation.\n\nBakari is living behind the scenes while he acclimates to his new home. Though initially nervous, he has grown friendlier with his new caretakers over the past several weeks. He eagerly anticipates training sessions and will approach the fence when keepers enter his field of view. Bakari’s favorite foods are carrots, lettuce and molasses horse treats.\n\nUnlike mares, who live in social groups, Grévy’s zebra stallions will typically only associate with other members of their species to reproduce. Bakari is on his own right now and will likely only share space with the females for short, closely monitored periods on a sporadic basis.\n\nEven if they all hit it off immediately, don’t get your hopes up for baby zebras anytime soon. Grévy’s zebras have a gestation period of 13 months!\n\nBakari—whose name means “noble oath” in Swahili—was born at Phoenix Zoo in early 2013 and moved to Denver when he was five years old. He has sired one colt, who was born in Denver this past May.\n\nGrévy’s zebras are endangered due to habitat loss, human hunting and competition for resources with domestic hoofstock. These issues may be exacerbated by the fact that this species is found only in small pockets of Kenya and Ethiopia, restricting it to a much narrower range than the more abundant and commonly known plains zebra.\n\nYou can help Grévy’s zebras by contributing to conservation organizations like Grévy’s Zebra Trust, which the Zoo has supported in the past."

"Sober and versatile, the new Acer Aspire 3 A317-51G-56CC laptop with 17 inch screen offers a large storage capacity with fast SSD which improves responsiveness, but also an optical unit for reading and burning CD / DVDs. As it has an NVIDIA graphics card, it is able to run low-power games and is efficient in current use thanks to its Quad Core i5 Comet Lake processor and its good amount of RAM.

Thanks to the SSD, we get much faster start / stop and launch of applications, and we can get faster on the cards of the games in league.\n\nThe SSD comes with a hard drive with a consequent capacity of 1000 GB practical to house and install as a bonus multiple files and software.\n\nThanks to its good amount of 8 GB RAM and its low-consumption Comet Lake processor Quad Core i5-10210U, this laptop delivers good general performance able to suit many users.\n\nHowever, you have to be aware of the fact that to regularly carry out work requiring demanding processor resources, it is better to turn to a PC with a non-low power processor.\n\nWhether with the Intel UHD 620 graphics solution integrated into Comet Lake or the dedicated GeForce MX230 card, you can obviously watch photos and videos on this PC equipped with NVIDIA Optimus technology.",
null,
"Optimus automatically switches in practice in real time between the Intel UHD 620 and the GeForce MX230, depending on the tasks performed. The Intel UHD 620 is favored as much as possible by Optimus despite its modest benefits because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy compared to the GeForce MX230.\nIn terms of battery life precisely, count on approximately 5 hours of operation far from a socket in light use.\n\nComing back to the GeForce MX230, which is more efficient and greedy than the Intel UHD 620, this laptop is capable of handling games that consume little graphics resources.\n\nAlso keep in mind that due to its weight and 17 inch format, this computer is comfortable for mainly sedentary use (ex: at home)."

"THE €8 million Kilkenny Greenway project could be knocked off track by issues concerning the ownership of the land.\n\nA potential stumbling block which could delay the construction emerged at the meeting of the Piltown Municipal District of Kilkenny County Council last night.\n\nThe issue is over whether or not to lease the land the Greenway will pass through or to wait until the council owns it.\n\nThe 24-kilometre greenway linking New Ross in Wexford to Ferrybank and Waterford city, with the vast majority of the route going through South Kilkenny, will be constructed on a disused rail-line currently owned by CIE.\n\nThe council must decide whether to take a 20-year lease on the land or ask CIE to abandon the line so the council can take ownership of it.\n\nCouncillors believe the latter option, abandoning the line, would lead to delays in getting the project off the ground.\n\nThe preferred option would be to leave the land in the ownership of CIE and lease it back to the State company for a 20-year term.\n\nNo decision was made last night. Instead, councillors agreed to ask the council’s engineers to evaluate both options before agreeing on which would be the preferred outcome.\n\nLast month €8 million in funding was announced for the Greenway that is set to transform the south of the county.\n\nOnce completed, the Kilkenny greenway will connect to the Waterford Greenway stretching for 48kms to Dungarvan, via a new bridge over the River Suir due to be constructed as part of the Waterford’s North Quay regeneration.\n\nThe total length of the combined greenways will come to 73km of pristine, uninterrupted, car-free, wild countryside.",

"Saying that there is a whole lot of b.s. in the world of green IT is certainly not an overstatement, but only Hewlett Packard could turn that truth to its advantage.\n\nIn fact, the company has just published a research paper showing how data center operators could put the oversized loads of crap that emanate from dairy farms to work in powering computing facilities.\n\nThe paper, \"Design of Farm Waste-Driven Supply Side Infrastructure for Data Centers,\" was presented today at the ASME International Conference on Energy Sustainability, taking place this week in Phoenix.\n\nBy turning cow manure into energy, the research paper shows how a mid-sized dairy farm -- one that numbers about 10,000 cows -- can generate one megawatt of energy, enough to power a mid-sized data center, saving on energy costs and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 6,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.\n\nManure-to-energy is not a new technology, of course; it's been put to work in any number of areas, including a Chinese power plant, a Belgian cosmetics factory, and California's gubernatorial inauguration. And that's part of the benefit of the HP proposal.\n\n\"All of the components needed to develop something like this are already available,\" explained Cullen Bash, a member of HP's Sustainable IT Ecosystem Lab team and one of five authors of the report, along with Ratnesh Sharma, Tom Christian, Martin Arlitt and Chandrakant Patel. \"It can be done today,\" Bash added.\n\nWhile waste-to-energy is nothing new, HP is envisioning its use in new areas and for a new application: Data centers. Waste-to-energy provides a reliable and steady source of energy in ways that solar and wind are not able to achieve, and with 21 times the heat-trapping potential of carbon dioxide, generating energy from the huge clouds of methane that would otherwise warm the atmosphere is a classic twofer.\n\nThe circular nature of the waste-to-energy-to-data-center systems works roughly like this: Cow manure is run through an anaerobic digester to generate electricity and heat. The energy goes to powering servers, storage, and HVAC systems in the data center, and the heat can be put to use in heating the turbine in the chiller for the data center's HVAC system.\n\nThen, waste heat from the servers and storage can be sent back to the anaerobic digester, which needs to be kept at a fairly constant temperature. And any additional energy generated by the digester can be used to power farm operations, or depending on where the farm is sited, tied back into the grid for general use.\n\nThe chart below, provided by HP, lays out how a waste-to-energy system could power a data center, and HP projects that such a system would save about $2 million per year in reduced energy costs and waste management fees, giving the project a two-year ROI.",
null,
"Bash explained that Hewlett Packard is not currently exploring where to put this technology to work, and that in truth no company that he's aware of is. But the technology is not that difficult, and there are plenty of areas around the world that could almost immediately benefit from these systems.\n\nIn India, there is a combination of high demand for computing power and low grid reliability. As a result, data centers often rely on inefficient and polluting diesel generators to ensure uptime. But with power coming from a nearby farm, then both needs can be met, and in a very low-impact manner.\n\n\"The idea of using animal waste to generate energy has been around for centuries,\" Chandrakant Patel, HP Fellow and director of the Sustainable IT Ecosystem Lab at HP, said in a statement tied to the release of the report. \"Manure is used every day in remote villages to generate heat for cooking. The new idea that we are presenting in this research is creating a symbiotic relationship between farms and the IT ecosystem that can benefit the farm, the data center and the environment.\"\n\nAlthough the idea of siting a data center near mid- to large-scale cattle operations (I imagine it's a hard enough sale to get an IT professional to move to Omaha, much less to move to Omaha and be surrounded by literal b.s. day in and day out), companies are increasingly factoring environmental decisions into their facility location plans, alongside the desire for cheap and abundant energy.\n\nThe Pacific Northwest is home to a number of huge data centers that owned by major IT players, most of which aim to take advantage of cheap and plentiful hydroelectric power, including Google, Amazon, and of course Facebook. Similarly, the Green Grid has been promoting the benefits of free outside-air cooling for data centers, which is an ever more common feature in new facilities design by Yahoo, Intel, and HP.\n\nBut of course, it remains to be seen if, where and when data centers migrate out of the city and out to the farm."

"Laughing Gull\nOriginally uploaded by Laura Erickson\n(Transcript of For the Birds for June 9, 2010)\n\nI’m writing this script on June 8, 2010, Day 50 in the Gulf Oil Disaster. Current estimates are that Louisiana wildlife teams have recovered more than a thousand birds - most of them dead. Some survivors have been treated and then released in Florida. But these species have a built-in map and compass and a powerful homing instinct. Many or most of the adult pelicans are in the middle of their nesting season right now, and although getting oiled has certainly doomed their chicks to slow starvation, most or virtually all the birds released in Florida will most assuredly head straight back home, to ever increasing amounts of oil. The spill started out far from shore, and only 192 brown pelicans were brought into a Fort Jackson, Louisiana facility in the past six weeks, but reflecting the growing area of contamination, 86 were delivered just this Sunday. Many experts estimate that only 10–20 percent of oiled birds are ever found. I’m sure this is true in the case of large birds like pelicans and gannets, but suspect that the number of small birds that will be found in the muck will be less than one percent of the real number. How can we possibly find warblers weighing just a third of an ounce, or hummingbirds weighing just one tenth of an ounce, in a sea of black gunk?\n\nCarcasses of large marine mammals may be equally hard to find unless they wash to shore. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Bioacoustics Research Program is sending a team down this week to deploy acoustic monitoring devices to keep track of whale vocalizations—an exercise that promises to be as interesting as it will be depressing.\n\nAs more and more marshland gets contaminated in the coming weeks and months, the number of animals coated with oil will continue to grow, though news accounts will surely lose interest before birds and other wildlife stop dying. By late July and August, when our Northland birds start heading to the Gulf Coast and beyond during their fall migration, I’m afraid people are going to be too numb to even care. I don’t even want to think of the implications during the height of hurricane season.\n\nElections are coming up, but what name on a ballot can anyone really trust? A full 58 percent of active or senior judges in key Gulf Coast districts in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida have links to oil, gas and related energy industries, including some who own stocks or bonds in BP, Halliburton or Transocean, and others who regularly list receiving royalties from oil and gas production wells. We’ll be learning more and more about campaign contributions from various oil companies to both democrats and republicans, and maybe someone will uncover the truth about Dick Cheney’s secret energy policy meetings, but really, what can we possibly do with that information? The normal response will be to tune it out, and I’m sure plenty of other problems will crop up to distract us. The people who care most about the damaged ecosystem and the wildlife that depends on it will be frozen in despair or down in the Gulf volunteering to monitor water toxicity or engaged in the Sisyphean task of salvaging increasing numbers of migratory birds whose very natures doom them to head right back into the contaminated region. It’s only Day 50 of this nightmare, and the harsh reality is that the worst is yet to come.\n\nBut we are human beings—and I have to believe that our species includes more rocket scientists, poets, naturalists, and just plain decent people than greedy corporate sociopaths. Our species may be the only one on the planet capable of such mass destruction, but we’re also capable of compassion and ingenuity and large scale problem solving. How we face the coming weeks and months will test our worthiness as a nation, and a world. But we must take this test seriously. It isn’t just some everyday pop quiz—how we deal with this disaster may prove to be our final exam.\nLaura Erickson at 11:58 AM\nShare"

"Roadwork to roll into Palmers Cross, but after by-election – PM",
null,
"Prime Minister Andrew Holness pledged yesterday to deliver infrastructural investment to Clarendon South East but cautioned Labourites that he would hold off the rollout of projects till after the March 2 by-election.\n\nApparently smarting from criticism from the Opposition, civil-society groups, and the political ombudsman, Holness told supporters that he was wary of the ruling Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) administration being mired in allegations of the misuse of state funds for partisan gain.\n\nThe party leader told supporters that he was aware that the people of Palmers Cross were desperate for the repair of rapidly deteriorating roadways. Holness admitted that Rudyard Spencer, the four-term Clarendon South East member of parliament (MP) who resigned earlier this month, had often pressed him to address the road crisis.\n\n“I get a lot of calls from Ruddy when he was MP, and he would just pop up at my office. ‘Palmers Cross road, Boss, what you going to do about Palmers Cross road?’” Holness said, recalling Spencer’s lobbying.\n\n“I know how this thing work. You going to hear the political ombudsman talk about the election, and we don’t need that distraction, so we will wait until afterwards so that there will be no issue, even though this was in the works long before Ruddy made his decision,” he said to cheers at an Area Council Three meeting held inside the auditorium of Vere Technical High School.\n\nThe Holness administration has been pilloried for pushing infrastructural work in constituencies ahead of by-elections, particularly in the St Mary South East, St Andrew North West, and Portland East polls of 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. The JLP won all by-elections.\n\nSt Mary South East came under particular scrutiny after a $600-million bush-clearing and drain-cleaning project was condemned by the Opposition as a blatant attempt at winning votes. However, the prime minister slammed detractors for politicking, arguing that state resources were judiciously deployed to fix long-term problems.\n\nAt yesterday’s Area Council Three meeting, a fired-up Pearnel Charles Jr electrified the green-clad crowd with news that investments would soon be rolling into the seat.\n\n“So the little time I have been here, I have already started to have conversations with investors who are looking at South East lands to build BPO and economic opportunities,” he said, referring to the emerging business process outsourcing sector, which has mushroomed a clutch of call centres islandwide with an estimated 30,000-plus jobs.\n\nCharles Jr also shared that he had convened a meeting with Minister of Agriculture Audley Shaw about the mothballed Monymusk estate and scores of displaced sugar workers.\n\nHe said that the first batch of 15 workers whose jobs were made redundant after Pan Caribbean Sugar Company pulled out of a bleeding operation will receive farmlands today.\n\nCharles Jr also put the prime minister on alert, facetiously warning him that come March 3 – the day after the by-election – he would be knocking on his door in advocacy about unresolved issues in the constituency."

"It was all due to a \"special\" gift that William and Harry’s father gave to Camila, the woman who had long been their lover.\n\nThe humiliation that Lady Di experienced at her wedding after Charles’s gift to Camilla: The woman who is now the wife of Prince Charles was largely responsible for the fairy tale between Diana of Wales and the future King of England was not happy since that started.\n\nThe day that should be the happiest for Lady Di, it was simply not because of the humiliation that Lady Di experienced at her wedding after a gift from Carlos to Camila . That is to say, that moment that it presumed to be magical was marked by the first of Prince Charles’s betrayals.\n\nAccording to Sally Bedell Smith, writer of the biography of William and Harry’s father on the day of the marriage between Diana and Carlos, she lived a very sad and uncomfortable moment because of Camila, the woman who was her lover and then, after the death of Lady Di, she became his wife.\n\nThat day, Diana heard a conservation between her future husband and Camila, just a few hours before the wedding, which caused the departure of the princess we all love, who did not hesitate to face Carlos.\n\n\"He told her that Camilla had been one of his closest friends, but that their intimacy was over,\" Sally said. Although we are all clear that this was not the case.\n\nBut it did not end there, because the worst of all was that Camila was also one of the guests at the royal wedding and she was removed from grief. As if that were not enough, she, the lover, received a special gift from Prince Charles.\n\nThe writer says that the son of Queen Elizabeth II prepared special gifts for his closest friends, including Camila Parker-Bowles. The detail is that she got nothing more and nothing less than a gold bracelet with the letters \"GF\" that referred to the phrase \"Girl Friday\" which in Spanish means \"Girl on Friday.\"\n\nThat was the loving way in which Carlos called Camila, the woman with whom he always had an intimate connection and in the end ended up being one of the causes of the separation of the marriage he formed with Diana.\n\nThe fact was that all that managed to ruin Diana’s special day, “she was so obsessed with Camilla that as she walked slowly with her father down the aisle, she looked at each of the attendees until their eyes met those of her nemesis. ”, According to related Sally Bedell Smith."

"Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died, setting up a major political showdown between President Barack Obama and the Republican-controlled Senate over who will replace him just months before a presidential election.\n\nObama called Scalia, who served on the nation’s highest court for nearly 30 years, a “larger-than-life presence” and said he intended to nominate someone to fill the vacant seat before leaving the White House next January.\n\n“I plan to fulfill my constitutional responsibility to appoint a successor in due time and there will be plenty of time for me to do so and for the Senate to give that person a fair hearing and timely vote,” Obama told reporters in California.\n\nScalia, 79, was found dead at the Cibolo Creek Ranch resort in West Texas on Saturday. He died of natural causes, according to Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara, who went to the ranch and saw the body.\n\nChief Justice John Roberts described his former colleague, who was known for his strident conservative views and theatrical flair in the courtroom, as an “extraordinary individual and jurist.”\n\nObama ordered flags at the White House and all federal buildings to be flown at half-staff.\n\nA number of leading Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, immediately said they would oppose any attempt by Obama to nominate a new justice.\n\nThe political battle lines sharpened later at the Republican presidential debate in South Carolina, where front-runner Donald Trump and several of his rivals said it should be up to Obama’s successor to replace Scalia.\n\nSenator Ted Cruz of Texas said Scalia’s death highlighted what was at stake in the election. “We’re not going to give up the U.S. Supreme Court for a generation by allowing Barack Obama to make one more liberal appointee.”\n\nDemocrats lined up to push for a speedy appointment, with Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid saying it should happen “right away.”\n\nObama could tilt the balance of the nation’s highest court, which now consists of four conservatives and four liberals, if he is successful in pushing his nominee through the confirmation process.\n\nScalia, who grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Harvard Law School, was a leader of the “originalist” ideology that looks at the U.S. Constitution through the lens of its framers’ 18th century intentions.\n\nHe was the first Italian-American on the court and a devout Roman Catholic who had nine children. An avid hunter who wrote the court’s 2008 landmark opinion supporting gun rights, Scalia also was a close friend of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, with whom he shared a love of opera and often traveled.\n\nHis replacement would be Obama’s third appointment to the nine-justice court, which is set to decide its first major abortion case in nearly 10 years as well as key cases on voting rights, affirmative action and immigration.\n\nWaiting for the next president to make a nomination would leave Scalia’s seat empty for at least 11 months, an unprecedented gap in recent decades.\n\nObama’s first two appointments to the court, liberals Sonia Sotomayor in 2009 and Elena Kagan in 2010, both experienced relatively smooth confirmation hearings in the Senate, which was then controlled by Democrats.\n\nWith Republicans now in charge of the Senate and keen to exert their influence over the process, Obama is likely to be forced into picking a moderate with little or no history of advocating for liberal causes.\n\nThe White House is also likely to consider whether to nominate a woman or a member of a minority group, or someone who fits into both categories.\n\nAmong those mentioned within legal circles as a potential nominee is Sri Srinivasan, an Indian-American judge who has served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since May 2013.\n\nIt has been nearly 50 years since political wrangling between a president and Senate pushed a Supreme Court nomination into the next administration.\n\nIn 1968, Chief Justice Earl Warren made clear his intention to resign and Democratic President Lyndon Johnson sought to elevate then-Associate Justice Abe Fortas, who had been a close confidant. Senate Republicans fought the nomination, claiming “cronyism,” and Johnson withdrew it. The appointment fell to his successor, Republican Richard Nixon.—Reuters"

"by Jennifer L. Hart (Author)\nPartial Book Description:\nFINAL STRAW\nDishing out bad news is Jackie Parker’s job until her boss grabs her assets one time too many and she serves him her notice and hopes he chokes on it. There must be a better way for a certified process server to make a living in Miami than working for a lousy lecherous lawyer. Whatever Jackie decides, her number one priority is spending time with her husband, Luke, preferably without his brother Logan—AKA the Dark Prince.\nMy Take:\nDownloaded as a free kindle ebook.\nCute, punchy cozy mystery with a hint of feminism, a whole lot of time spent on sexuality of ‘women of size’-almost to the point of obsession. Hart does a over-eager job of driving the point home that ‘women of size’ are sexually wanted by everyone they ever meet, anywhere and at any given time. Yes, we get it: everyone wants Jackie Parker, process server and detective. What that has to do with the mystery at hand, is anyone’s guess. Her husband wants her, the husband’s brother wants her, her ex-boss wants her, the delivery men want her. Moving on.\nThe main character, Jackie Parker, comes across as overly self-involved, her husband and brother-in-law as horn dogs that only want to hump her lumps and nothing else in their lives matter. Hart writes her friends as one-dimensional airheads, whose only purpose in life, seemingly, is to pump up Jackie’s ego or use her to their own ends. So which is Jackie? A self-reliant feminist who doesn’t need anyone or anything, a sexually active sexpot whose charms drive every single man to their knees in lust, or a pushover who is weak-kneed to everyone else’s whims?\nHart can write a tale, there isn’t a whole lot of over-exposition involved, i loved the warehouse scenes and the murder sites were well-written. The plot itself was a bit thin and could have used more planning. I would suggest bringing Jackie et al back down to earth, giving them depth and work on plots, sub-plots a bit more. I give 2 1/2 stars."

"You only need look on Twitter to see how rampant players are getting over the upcoming release of Resident Evil: Village on PS4, PS5, Xbox and PC on May 8th. Capcom obviously knows this, as its just begun teasing some exciting announcements in anticipation of the second Resident Evil Showcase event, which promises to show off all-new gameplay and a never-before-seen trailer that further highlights what Ethan’s next adventure is all about. The livestream itself will take place on April 15th (next Thursday) at 11pm BST here in the UK.\n\nThe tease comes hot off the heels of Resident Evil Re:Verse’s open beta launching on PS4 and PC today, allowing players to get a taste at the free PVP multiplayer expansion that will release free alongside anyone who picks up Resident Evil: Village at launch. Featuring classic heroes and villains from the franchise like Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Nemesis, Tyrant and more, Re:Verse celebrates 25 years of the established canon by mixing together locations and characters featured from all across the series.\n\nNext week’s Resident Evil Showcase again appears to be hosted by What’s Good Games’ own Brittney Bombacher, who will guide us through this new look at the game. Expect to see even more Lady Dimitrescu doing her large woman thing, a better glimpse into the world Resident Evil: Village presents, plus a potential new gameplay demo. The last one released exclusively on PS5 back in January, challenging players to escape a gloomy castle after rising up through the cellar.\n\nWhy do we think that a new Resident Evil: Village demo is incoming? Well, aside from Capcom itself conforming that a second one would release on all platforms some time in the spring, website MP1st has seemingly unearthed files that suggest the latest demo will weight in at around 10GB. Expect this demo to be playable almost immediately after the Resident Evil Showcase finishes.\n\nOut in May – pre-order Resident Evil: Village now\n\nAlready sold on Resident Evil: Village? The game is currently up for pre-order on all major platforms at a range of online UK retailers. Below we’ve listed the lowest possible price for the game on PS4, PS5 and Xbox, making it easier for you to save money when diving back into this grizzly and atmospheric world of Resident Evil. You’ve been warned…"

"When England batsman Stuart Broad raised his willow aloft at Lords on Saturday – drinking in the applause for his innings of 169 against Pakistan – he must have thought the week’s headlines would be about him.\n\nInstead, the game of cricket finds itself involved in a match-rigging scandal that reflects poorly not only on the sport, but also on the ever-controversial gambling industry.\n\nThe world’s more reputable bookmakers point out, rightly, that they don’t offer bets on the sort of events that Pakistan’s players stand accused of influencing.",

"Wheel of fortune: A regulated gambling industry in the US could create £27bn in annual tax receipts\n\nThe last thing the gambling sector needs right now is a distraction from its true focus, namely the challenges inherent in keeping up with a rapidly-changing industry.\n\nJust ask 888 Holdings (unchanged at 37p). The online gambling firm is stumbling through a torrid year that saw a profits warning in May, followed by yesterday’s lacklustre half-year results.\n\nPretax profits fell nearly 44pc in the half, from £9.7m to £5.5m at the same stage of 2009, largely due to weakness in bingo as punters spent their disposable readies on the World Cup.\n\n888 also scrapped the dividend in order to save cash for acquisitions, fuelling further talk about consolidation, the current leitmotif of the industry.\n\nPartyGaming and Austria’s bwin are working through a tie-up to create a £1.65bn gaming giant able to rival the big boys of the US, such as Full Tilt Poker.\n\nAnd consolidation makes a lot of sense for a number of reasons.\n\nChief among them is the potential for a US feeding frenzy when the world’s economic powerhouse finally gets its act together to legalise and regulate web-based gambling.\n\nAs things stand, it is illegal to offer online poker in the US market, although there are plenty of offshore firms exploiting the competitive vacuum to hoover up US customers.\n\nPartyGaming and 888 both packed their bags and left the US pretty sharpish when the crackdown came, giving up huge swathes of lucrative business in the process.\n\nBut Republican senator Barney Frank is leading efforts to introduce a bill that will open up the market once more.\n\nAnalysts don’t expect that to happen this year. But a congressional analysis estimated that a regulated online gambling industry could pour £27bn per year into the coffers of the Internal Revenue Service.\n\nThe potential is massive. And for the likes of Ladbrokes and William Hill – both of which are relative unknowns in the US – a web specialist such as 888 could offer an attractive prospect.\n\n888 enjoys strong relations with US casino giant Harrah’s and has the existing systems and knowledge to enter the US market seamlessly.\n\nChief executive Gigi Levy says there are ‘background discussions going on’ with a number of potential merger or takeover partners, although nothing solid is in the offing just yet.\n\nBut the catalyst, says Levy, is not just the potential for US legislation, but also the shifting regulatory sands of Europe.\n\nIn contrast to most areas of European Union business legislation, each member state has been allowed to set its own regulatory rules on gambling.\n\nThis means that the likes of 888 face separate compliance costs in separate jurisdictions, rather than a uniform environment across the region.\n\nBut while 888 may be in the firing line, Barclays Capital’s gambling sector guru Ed Birkin is looking elsewhere for consolidation.\n\nBirkin believes Sportingbet, rather than 888, is one of the juiciest assets on the market.\n\nLike PartyGaming – which paid the US £68m to avoid prosecution for offering its services prior to the official ban in 2006 – Sportingbet is, says Birkin, edging closer to a deal with the IRS. ‘If they do settle, they’ll be bought out very quickly,’ he predicts, reeling off names such as William Hill, Ladbrokes and newlyweds PartyGaming and bwin as suitors.\n\nIn the meantime, the smaller players are doing what they can to keep up. The smart money says that PartyGaming and bwin will not be the only marriage of this financial year and a shrewd investor stands to make a sizeable return.\n\nAnyone who bought into PartyGaming at 206p at the beginning of July would have made a 50pc return on their money when news of the tie-up pushed it up to 309.5p by the end of the month.\n\nThat’s a handy return. And judging by recent events, taking a punt on a takeover makes infinitely more sense than betting on the cricket."

"Back during August, I looked at the Tome of Magic, a 3.5 D&D book, which involved looking at the the Binder. The Binder was one of the classes presented in that book, where the basic idea was that the binder had these things, called Vestiges, that you could sort of cold-swap between to get different abilities based on your different needs; the task of swapping character mode was fast enough that you could do it between encounters, or on the far side of a dungeon door, or hurriedly while the guards are on their way, but it wasn’t something you could hot-plug in between combats. The Binder was a weak character class by default that could, with its variety of options, hot-swap into a form that was usually about as good as a rogue with most of the gear they want.\n\nWhen it comes to D&D content, Wizards put things in the books, but they also made a thing of web expansions – pdfs and website content that you could add to your game, stuff that came from the Official Source and was generally made to be safe enough to include in any game, and that is where we got the Vestige that on its own takes the Binder from ‘incredibly fair, even a bit weak’ to the upper tiers of power, brushing in the shadow of the wizard and cleric.\n\nAnd bonus, that Vestige is spooky.",
null,
"The actual text of the Vestige of Zceryll, from Wizards’ own web expansion, is pretty simple:\n\nZceryll was a mortal sorceress who communed with alien powers from the far realm. She became obsessed with immortality, seeking out the alien beings in the hopes of learning their eternal secrets. When she died, she became a hideously twisted vestige, forever seeking to re-enter the Realms via numerous artifacts she dispersed across the world. Zceryll grants you the ability to transform your body and mind into an alien form, granting you telepathy, resistance to effects related to insanity, the ability to summon pseudonatural creatures, and the power to unleash bolts of pure madness.\n\nOkay, how is it broken? What’s it do that’s so good, power-wise? Normally when you talk about character power, you can usually point to something as a general rule – like you can point to the wizards’ spell list and that’ll explain itself. In Zceryll’s case, what you get when you channel this Vestige is:\n\nLet’s simplify that: You can use Summon Monster (Half Your Level) every five turns at will. DMs may make you spend the action to do it, in out-of-combat ways, but at will summons is incredibly strong, not because you can flood the battlefield, but because summons are combat capable creatures that in many cases can cast spells. So every utility power available to any monster on the summon list is available to you, but in a spooky way. Need something big moved? Summon something big and stronk. Need to get out of a cage? Summon something that can move through walls. Need to wreck shop on the battlefield? Well at every tier, there’s a piece of cannonfodder you can dump on the battlefield and then not have to spend actions commanding. If your summon runs out of healing magic, you can just summon another one and get it to do the healing magic. If your summon is beat up, you can summon another one and get that to replace the other. It is one of the most startlingly effective spell families to have at-will access to, and the only real drawback for the Binder is that it’s a bit slow.\n\nThe actual theme of Zceryll is a weird one, and it bums me out a little that the Binder is a class ostensibly built around this variety of flavour choices, when every powerful Binder is going to be hard on Zceryll and the skills required to be good at managing Zceryll. It’s also frustrating because the name Zceryll is a person’s name first; the odd, hard to express mangled language of the name isn’t a language from outside reality – it’s someone’s name, a weird name, but it’s just… a weird name. It speaks of a culture that’s not common to you now, but Zceryll is still just a person, it’s not an extrusion of a reality where they don’t have vowel sounds.\n\nI feel this is a dropped ball with Zceryll. At its root, it wants to be Lovecraftian; the powers are from the far realms, it’s about a refugee of our reality trying hard to get back in, it’s got this sort of lurking threat to it, and it shows you tearing reality open and letting in things that look like stuff you already know but which are definitely not, while you cast literal bolts of madness from your hand... and then disappointingly, it’s just… a wizard, like you, who drank of the outside.\n\nMy advice, if you’re going to use Zceryll in your game worlds? Soak in the eerie. Don’t say it was a wizard who started out researching the far realm. Make Zceryll something not someone."

"Geneva, May 11, 2021.- UN human rights experts* welcomed the release of Iranian human rights defender Arash Sadeghi, who was released from Raja’i Shahr Prison this month after five-and-a-half years in detention.\n\nMr. Sadeghi received prison sentences totalling 15 years by a Revolutionary Court on multiple charges, including publishing “lies in cyberspace”, “propaganda against the regime” and insulting the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Under Iranian law, he would have to serve seven-and-a-half years in prison, the longest of his sentences. UN experts say his peaceful human rights activism included social media posts and communications with journalists and human rights defenders abroad. The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found in an opinion issued in 2018 that the deprivation of Mr. Sadeghi’s liberty was arbitrary and called for his immediate release.\n\n“I welcome the release of Mr. Sadeghi, and commend the Iranian Government’s implementation of the Sentence Reduction Directive,” said Mary Lawlor, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders. “I look forward to the release of other human rights defenders who have been arbitrarily deprived of their liberty, including Mr. Sadeghi’s wife, Golrokh Iraee.” Ms. Iraee was also the subject of an opinion by the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.\n\nJavaid Rehman, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, added: “While noting the release of Mr Sadeghi, I maintain grave concerns for individuals arbitrarily detained in the Islamic Republic of Iran, including human rights defenders. I am encouraged by this decision and other recent decisions by the Iranian authorities to release human rights defenders and I urge the Iranian authorities to build on these positive signs and to release other arbitrarily detained individuals.”\n\nMr. Sadeghi was known for advocating against human rights violations in Iranian prisons. While in detention himself, he wrote letters in support of other imprisoned human rights defenders, petitioning for an improvement in prison conditions and for their release.\n\nIn 2018, Mr. Sadeghi was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He underwent surgery to remove a tumour from his shoulder, but was later transported back to prison contrary to medical advice. Consequently, his right arm became infected, resulting in a loss of mobility and feeling in that arm.\n\nOn 11 May 2020, the Iranian Parliament ratified the Sentence Reduction Law. This law has reduced the sentences and brought about the release of some human rights defenders, including Mr. Sadeghi."

"So, how do we feel about cinnamon buns? More specifically, super soft, ultra-fluffy, perfectly sweetened and spiced, 100% VEGAN cinnamon buns complete with a sticky pecan raisin glaze AND a drizzle of creamy maple cashew icing?",
null,
"I'm guessing that most of us are probably feeling pretty good about this intensely decadent cinnamon bun idea. (PS: All you raisin haters can pipe down already, just leave 'em out okay??)",
null,
"I promise you, these foolproof cinnamon buns will not disappoint. The no fuss dough is an absolute dream to work with, it's soft, satiny and easy to roll out. After the second rise (before and after, shown below), you'll know that these buns are gonna be good. Real good.",
null,
"I tried these filled with both brown sugar and coconut sugar. I loved them both equally! Brown sugar offers the familiar molasses sweetness while the coconut sugar imparts a lovely caramel flavour that is just a slight updated twist on the original. If you've got coconut sugar on hand, I suggest you give it a shot!",
null,
"It's been years since I've eaten a properly decadent cinnamon bun so I went all out with these guys and included both a glaze AND a drizzle. The glaze is a simple simmered mixture of coconut oil (or vegan butter), coconut or brown sugar, pecans and raisins. The creamy maple cashew drizzle is made up of soaked raw cashews, non-dairy milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and icing sugar. Feel free to follow my ultra-decadent example, or if you're prefer something a little simpler opt for just the glaze or just the drizzle. Oh! And with a few slight alterations to the drizzle recipe (included), you can top these with a maple cashew frosting instead. Yum!",
null,
"These delicious buns freeze perfectly, just leave them out to thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a minute or so to reheat. It's been lovely having such a delicious treat tucked away in our freezer for midnight sweet cravings and afternoon coffee breaks. I hope you enjoy these delicious cinnamon buns as much as we have!",

"Stichting or Stak: How to create a Dutch Sandwich with a New Zealand Trust",
null,
"This diagram is borrowed from http://www.proceso.com.mx/435567/hinojosa-cantu-el-donador-de-la-casa-blanca-esconde-100-mdd-en-negocios-fantasmas.\n\nWhat it shows is one of three structures created by Mossack Fonseca and other firms, including Bentleys of Auckland, for Juan Armado Hinojosa Cantu of Mexico. In one of the first articles published that utilised the Panama Papers, by Tim Johnson of the American organisation known as McClatchyDC.com, the story is “A well-connected Mexican tycoon stashes a fortune overseas”. Hinojosa was closely linked to politicians, and already had a number of offshore companies in the Caribbean, including the British Virgin Islands. So why did he want to create a more complex structure that ‘stretched’ all the way to New Zealand? Well, he was too close to Mexican politicians and was under close scrutiny.\n\nRather than go through all the detail, which has been covered in Spanish language media, I will concentrate on the Dutch and New Zealand link. Briefly, there is documentation which shows the request made via the law firm D’Orleans, Bourbon & Associates based in Mexico. The letter to Olga Santini refers to the transfer of 4 BVI companies and 2 based in Nevis, into a structure of 3 New Zealand trusts, which are to be beneficiaries of a Dutch ‘Stak’ foundation, and with a dispersal of funds to 4 international banks, before the original 6 companies are dissolved. The 3 trusts are named after ancient Incas: Khuno, Huanca, and Huiracocha. So, as the Panama Papers database indicates, there is first a Khuno Investments LLP with a Dutch address; then the limited partnership is made up of the Stichting Khuno Management and the New Zealand Trust, set up by Orion Trust (NZ) Ltd in Auckland (see my previous post). In the database the beneficiary is named as Juan Armando Hinojosa, but in actual fact the transfer is executed for, or by, his mother. She appears to put money in trust for her son, but it was actually the other way around.",
null,
"This screenshot from the documentation was found at: http://www.proceso.com.mx/435567/hinojosa-cantu-el-donador-de-la-casa-blanca-esconde-100-mdd-en-negocios-fantasmas\n\nWhat the document shows is that Hinojosa’s mother, Dora Patricia Cantu Moreno, signs as the settlor of one of the 3 trusts, and it is witnessed in Mexico; while the trustee for new New Zealand trust is from the Orion Trust, and the signature is that of a nominee director, Rey Franklin Taylor King, whose residence is listed as being in Panama. One of the interesting things about this is that there is perhaps a different way to do this type of transaction, with the Dutch foundation owning the New Zealand trust company. It is also worth noting that there is a difference in Dutch law between a ‘stichting’ foundation, and a ‘stak’ foundation, which was what the original request referred to. The purpose of the stak foundation is to separate ownership, by holding shares for legal purposes, as explained by Dr Hans Dijhof of Arcanum Management & Company Services BV:\n\n“…the shares will be transferred into the legal ownership of the Stak foundation to administer these shares for the benefit of the transferror and against the simultaneous issuance of depository receipts (also called certificates) by the Stak foundation. This is the obligatory agreement [and] has to be followed under Dutch law by a transfer of the legal ownership of the shares…[as laid down in a deed]”\n\nSo the foundation becomes the owner of the shares, and has the voting rights, but the holders of the depository receipts gets the dividends. Although this seems complex, that is, of course, the intention, since the objective is preventing ownership disclosure.\n\nIt also helps explain the role of some stichting’ and ‘stak’ foundations that appear on the New Zealand company register, and set up by the Corpag Group based in the Caribbean, through their Corpag Services (New Zealand) Trust Ltd. Corpag has a number of New Zealand companies with the key directors being James and Catherine Walfenzao, who are based in Monaco. They have had a few associates in companies set up by Asiaciti, which is still listed as their New Zealand base, even though the companies are administered by the Nexus Trust group in Auckland. However, I will just look at 3 companies set up by Amicorp, but administered by Nexus, with a director Menno Jordaan of Corpag, based in Curacao (Netherlands Antilles). The companies include Palatino Management Ltd, that was owned by Corpag Services, then transferred to the Stichting Administratiekantoor International Producer in Curacao; and Coronado Management Ltd, which Corpag transferred to the Stichting Administratiekantoor Coronado, in Curacao, in May 2016. But the really interesting one is Tannen Ltd, that was set up in 2015, and has been transferred a couple of times between Stichting Administratiekantoor Cantona and Stak Murano, based in Amsterdam. The original document for the shareholding suggests that the stichting was located in Amersterdam, but then it appears to be in Curacao – is this a dutch sandwich?"

"If you have Bitcoin, it is likely that its weight as a safe haven may even surpass gold in the coming years.\n\nWhen looking for the maximum profitability of our savings, we can invest in bonds, in the classic gold of a lifetime or in cryptocurrencies, investments that in certain cases can have a great risk, but that can also ensure a good pension or a great future in retirement.\n\nSpecial mention are cryptocurrencies, where in particular Bitcoin has experienced a great growth of more than 50% in 2021, which predicts that it could even reach $ 100,000 in value in the coming months or years, something that could make many people in the world rich who have invested in recent months.\n\nWhile Wall Street in general has always been reluctant to invest in cryptocurrencies, now things are changing. Nevertheless Goldman sachs foresees that Bitcoin will gain weight against gold as a store of value during the next five years, and yet they estimate an annual return of around 18%, according to The confidential.\n\nAnd it is that Goldman Sachs, one of the largest investment banking groups, estimates that this digital currency could reach $ 100,000 over the next five years, eating ground to gold as an active refuge.\n\nAlthough Bitcoin has not started the year well and has reduced its value to approximately $ 46,000 today, it did mark a maximum peak of almost $ 70,000 a few weeks ago, and these types of drops and rises are totally common in demand and offer of digital currency.\n\nIn this way, Goldman Sachs is optimistic about Bitcoin when calculating that its market capitalization adjusted for its float is just under 700,000 million dollars, that is, it has a weight of 20% as a reserve of value if we take into account the gold, whose value is estimated at about 2,600 million dollars.\n\nFrom the investment bank they add that an increase in its weight to 50% in the next five years would shoot its price up to $ 100,000 with an annual return of around 18%, and that would be good news for those who plan to invest in Bitcoin now.\n\nBenzema and Vinicius, the society that has more goals than 13 teams in the League\n\nA fan art shows us a unique version of Kainé\n\nTips for completing the Dungeon of Mist: Genshin Impact Realm of Light event"

"A hot topic as of late on the CD message boards has been the move by big companies to China for the production of their skateboard decks. This has obviously ticked off a lot of die hard skaters, myself included. I’m a big supporter of the little guy. So I went on a hunt, especially outside of California, to find some alternatives to what’s hanging on the wall at the skate shop. One such company is Catalyst Skateboards out of Pennsylvania. Originally I had contacted them in regards to the wood shop that makes their boards, Penn’s Wood Manufacturing. Penn’s presses their own boards and sizes ranger from 7.25 to 8.5 and they also do full color printing. When I received their package, two boards from Catalyst were inside. An 8 inch and a 7.5 inch. The 8 inch is an all around great board, a bit wide around the tail for my taste, but comfy over all. Sporting a big fat nose, which I like and a concave that isn’t too steep. The 7.5 was a typical street shape with a much narrower tail which I wasn’t sure I would like it too much, but was pleased with the functionality of it over all. On both boards the graphics were nose to tail and the ink was kind of thick, which was actually good for tail, board, and nose slides. Well constructed wood made right here in the U.S. Check their site for info. Then go skating."

"The Brigham Young University (BYU) West Mountain Observatory (WMO) is a modern astronomical research facility located approximately one hour from the main BYU campus in Provo, Utah. West Mountain is a lone mountain in the center of Utah Valley on the southeast shore of Utah Lake. The observatory is located slightly west of Long Ridge about a quarter mile from the numerous communications towers seen near the center of the 6850 foot West Mountain. The site itself is far enough to the west of the developed areas along the Wasatch Mountains so that it continues to produce high quality research observations. Overhead and to the west, the sky brightness at West Mountain comparable to that of Kitt Peak National Observatory, while the median seeing conditions are as good or better.\n\nThe WMO was built in 1981 when it became apparent that there were no longer opportunities to make dark sky research observations from the Provo campus. The original instrument at WMO was an aging 0.6-m Tinsley reflector. This telescope was purchased in the 1950s and placed atop the BYU Eyring Science Center where it produced high quality photometric observations until local light pollution and encroaching buildings necessitated the move to the remote site at West Mountain. Realizing that the 0.6-m telescope would soon reach the end of its useful life, BYU designed and built the observatory dome and building at West Mountain to house a one meter class telescope without requiring significant modifications to the facility itself. A home was built next to the observatory in 1982 where the resident astronomer lived until 1988. Through the mid 1990s, research and teaching were vigorously pursued at West Mountain. For the next ten years, there were numerous attempts made to upgrade the older telescope. While these were generally successful, it was also apparent that the 0.6-m telescope would not be suitable for making long, guided exposures without making a large investment to replace the telescope mount. It was apparent that this upgrade would be comparable in cost and scope to obtaining a larger replacement telescope. In 2006, the BYU astronomy group was awarded a National Science Foundation PREST (AST 0618209) grant to upgrade the main telescope at WMO. In the middle of 2009, construction of the new DFM Engineering 0.91-m telescope for WMO was completed. The telescope was installed in the main dome in late August of 2009 and regualr research observations commenced the next week.\n\nExtensive work by Dr. Michael D. Joner along with internal and external collaborators has established that WMO is an excellent photometric site. Typically, 60 nights per year are suitable for all-sky photometry. An additional 100 nights per year can be used for spectroscopy and differential photometric work. All-sky photometry furnishes a stringent test for photometric site quality and West Mountain has proven to be an excellent location for astronomical research that is still convenient to the main Provo campus. Furthermore, WMO has been shown to provide both graduate and undergraduate students with experiences at a working research observatory that are comparable to what they could get at other major observatories around the world.\n\nThe largest nearby town is Payson with a population of about 10,000. The communities of Genola to the south and Benjamin to the east are agricultural areas with low populations. Utah Lake borders the west and north. There is very little population west of the lake for hundreds of miles and the skies are especially dark in that direction. Although the population along the Wasatch front is growing, most of this growth is to the north. Zoning to the south and east of the observatory and the lake on the north and west ensure that the site will remain adequately dark for the foreseeable future.\n\nIn general the observatory is not open to the public. It is a research facility and is often in use when the road is passable. When driving up the mountain to see the observatory from outside the gate, a vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. The road is not well maintained and we take no responsibility for anyone traveling up the road to the observatory.\n\nThe easiest route to the mountain is through downtown Spanish Fork, UT. Getting off I-15 you will head south toward downtown. At the third traffic light you turn right. This road is 400 North in Spanish Fork. It will go toward the mountain for some distance. After a couple of miles you will come to a four-way stop at Lake Shore. Continue straight and the road will take a sharp right turn after another couple of miles. Take the first left immediately after the sharp right. The sign will point toward Lincoln Beach. Follow this road out to the base of the mountain. As you parallel the base of the mountain you will see a series of telephone poles to your left. The wires will then cross over the road to your right. At the second telephone pole on your right turn left onto the gravel mountain road. It is then a rough, bouncy trip for 5.5 miles up to the observatory. The main road will end at the observatory gates.",

"Join me for a Digital Pint with Lewys Holt, whose show Phrases will be signalling it’s way through to Brighton Fringe and Greater Manchester Fringe this year. Lewys is taking on everyday phrases with his dance, spoken word and multimedia performance that answers the age old question… What does the doctor do if you don’t eat an apple a day?\n\nJake: So Lewys, your show mixes together language, communication and dance. I was wondering what links all of those things together for you?\n\nLewys: Well, I suppose there’s kind of something in dance which can kind of communicate things that language can’t. Emotive textures or kind of things that happen between words or between feelings or between states. And there’s also things that dance can’t do, that words can. When I first started studying dance I thought that there can be a difficulty to understand what we’re being shown.\n\nPeople often say stuff like, “I don’t get dance”, and I think that’s completely understandable because they’re not saying anything directly to you when they’re dancing. I think what this show tries to do is switch back and forth. I want to switch back and forth between a kind of more personable way of speaking to the audience, to share something a bit more tangible and then to completely fly off the handle and start being really weird and dancing and kind of flailing around the space.\n\nThat allows me to start filling in these gaps between the words and between the concepts I might have expressed with words and stuff. Does that make sense?\n\nJake: And how did you come up with this show concept discussing the immutability of language?\n\nLewys: I’m not sure about a single event, but I just started playing around with this projector, and I mixed it in with stream of consciousness writing, and then I split that up into little phrases. They were popping up on the projector behind me as I was moving. It was kind of an attempt to have both things exist in space at the same time and be able to be digested by the audience.\n\nThe stream of consciousness stuff was all just kind of like navel gazing questions about what does it feel like when I’m hungry? How do I even eat? What is my mouth? While that’s going on, I’m moving in the space alongside it or trying to leave space for it. It’s a kind of improvisation plaything. Then that sent me into trying to do some speaking improvisation, and I landed on doing lots of these catchphrases – everyday phrases. I started expanding them to see where they would go. So the one that’s the kind of crux of the show is this apple a day keeps the doctor away.\n\nWhat happens if I don’t eat an apple a day? Is the doctor going to come and get me? So then I have to hide from him and just keep eating apples. Then it develops – how do I manage to spread one apple out over three meals in each day? Because I know I need three meals. Are there different ways of serving the apple? I start leading this character into a place of being locked in the house, hiding, eating only one apple a day. They followed this catchphrase and they ended up in a really bad position. That basically came out of a naive trust in these common sense catchphrases.\n\nJake: You say that the show offers “solidarity with the anxious, confused and those who overthink”, what can the audience expect from that element of the show?\n\nLewys: I think they can expect to see a man kind of struggle in a kind of a pathetic, but kind of humorous, sort of endearing way, struggling with just dealing with basic concepts. He’s struggling with the physicality of the show. That’s a bit towards the end where I’m just doing these repeated movements which morphed from one position to another, but there’s a real strain involved in it. So it really evokes this sense of going over things, procrastinating, having to go back over it again and getting frustrated. It’s about getting stuck, getting caught in loops in your head. So there’s this more narrative element of this person struggling, and then there’s also a kind of physical dimension to that as well.\n\nJake: What can people kind of expect to see in the multimedia elements of the show? I know you talked about there being a kind of projector. How does that link directly with this state of anxiety and overthinking?\n\nLewys: I’ve got the laptop on stage with me and that’s linked to the sound system and the projector and people are basically seeing me deal with my MacBook desktop in real time. They’re watching me scroll my mouse across, click on the search bar, find the files for the next bit of the show. And all the files have got these names of like, “What am I even doing?”.\n\nThere are plenty of little hidden elements inside the computer, which are being made big in front of everyone’s faces. That’s the main multimedia element, and there’s small moments of performance which are just all mouse work, all typing work. The timing by which I type a word out will lead to different audiences reading it in different ways.\n\nJake: It sounds like it’s been quite a playful process with the kind of mediums that you’re using. How have you found that? I know the show is overwhelmingly quite anxious, but is there a kind of fun in that for the audience, for you as a performer?\n\nLewys: Yeah, definitely. It’s definitely got quite a bit of fun in it. I think also just the levels of pathetic that we’re watching this person go through are so ridiculous that you can’t help but laugh. And yet this playfulness with the screen is going on as well.\n\nThere’s also a few elements of audience interaction where I basically ask the audience to provide me with the different names of different apples and I’m trying to get more and more Apple types out of them. People have often been very playful with that. When they start to say Cox you know that they’re having fun.\n\nJake: Have you been to Brighton Fringe before? Are you excited more about it?\n\nLewys: I’ve never done the fringe, but I did do Phrases at the Old Market in 2019. There’s a collection of dancers called Swallows Feet. They’re from Brighton and they ran a festival at the Old Market, and I came down to do it there and it went really well. I’m looking forward to coming back.\n\nJake: This one kind of links a little bit more in with our magazines theme, but if you could describe your show as an alcoholic beverage or maybe the one for an audience member to bring along, what would you say?\n\nJake: Wonderful! That’s an exciting image, actually. I quite like that. That’s got some quite nice subtext to it. The obscure, scrumpy-ness of it all. I like that. Thanks for joining me for a Digital Pint Lewys!\n\nLewys: Thanks for having me!"

"Lee Trevino on Saturday on the 1st hole at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club.\n\nORLANDO, Fla. — Jim Thorpe, a PGA Tour fixture in the 1980s and ’90s, was watching the golf here on Saturday. He likes watching the golf, the PNC Championship, the old father-son event. Somebody asked Thorpe, “In your life, who have you met that knows the most about golf?”\n\nBen Hogan, the man who made the 1-iron cool. His name, which never goes dormant, is even more in circulation now, as Tiger Woods attempts to do what Hogan did more than 70 years ago, return to golf after a devastating car accident.\n\n“Well, Hogan and Trevino,” Thorpe said, refining his answer. Lee Trevino was nearby at the time, here at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club. Trevino is 82 and playing in the PNC for the 24th-straight time. He’s the only person to have played in all of them. As a golf mind, Trevino is at the Mensa level.\n\nIf you’re on a golf course during a lightning storm, Trevino once said, hold up your 1-iron. Why? “Because even God can’t hit a 1-iron,” Trevino said.\n\nIt’s a hoary old line, but worth trotting out, right about now. This is an event, like the Masters and not many others, where the game gets handed down, one generation to the next.\n\nTrevino landed in the game when Arnold Palmer was at the height of his powers, amid golf’s glamor-boom, the swinging ’60s. Trevino can talk about Palmer all day and into the night — if he’s in the mood. That’s a notable if.\n\nThis is an NBC Sports event. You could also say it’s an Arnold event. Arnold was an NBC guy and a denizen of Orlando. The corporate roots of PNC are in Pittsburgh. Arnold was a Pittsburgh guy and welcome in all its banks. (Palmer didn’t like debt. Banks like to lend money to people who don’t need it.) Standing on colorful elevated stages, in strategic spots throughout the course, were Cadillac vehicles. Arnold was Cadillac guy.\n\nPalmer is the patron saint of this event. Now that he’s gone — dead a half-decade already — there is Trevino and there is Gary Player and there, believe it or not, is Tiger Woods.\n\nThis event is a chance for golf to do what golf can do, hand the game down one generation to the next. That’s why Trevino’s presence here is important. That’s why the most meaningful thing to happen here this week, on some super granular level, was for Trevino to give a lesson to Charlie Woods, Tiger’s 12-year-old son. Tiger watched. That’s all he did. He watched. There’s a lot to be said for that.\n\n“Trevino is such a golf genius,” a reporter asked Woods Saturday night. “What was it like for you watching Trevino give a lesson to Charlie?”\n\n“He wasn’t really giving a lesson to Charlie,” Woods said. “He was just talking. Like he does. I got a chance to be around Lee quite a bit early in my career, the quality of strike. Now he’s 82 years old. It’s not what it used to be, but he finds the middle of the face each and every time. I don’t care how old you are.\n\n“The audio. He still has the audio. And he still has the shape of shots. It doesn’t go as far now. But no one has control of that golf ball, not as well as he has. The old balata ball into the wind, the shots he played, how he did it, hardpan in Texas, and it transferred to pretty much everywhere around the world. People would just sit there and listen. Just listen. You walk on range, and you know the guys who know how to hit a golf ball. Lee was that guy.”\n\nIf you want to know why Fred Couples cried at his World Golf Hall of Fame induction, when he mentioned Lee Trevino, the answer is in the preceding paragraph.\n\nIf you want to know how many majors Tiger Woods would have won had the game stayed as a persimmon-and-steel-and-balata game, read his quote above.\n\nIf you want to know what era Tiger wished he played in, read his quote above.\n\nA guess here is that Tiger will be coming to this event for many years to come, good lord willing and the creek don’t rise. He has a son. Someday he may have golfing grandchildren. Arnold used to play in this event with his grandson, Sam Saunders. Another grandson, Will Wears, played in the pro-am portion this week with Palmer’s longtime business manager, Alastair Johnston.\n\nTrevino’s partner here is his athletic and youngest son, Daniel. Trevino played from the forward tees. He stood slightly shut on most shots, took the club slightly outside, dropped it slightly in and hit low draws all the way around the course. It was magical to watch.\n\nHe had no headcover on his driver.\n\nAfter a long wait, Trevino hung on the side of his cart, to stretch himself out.\n\nThere’s so much you’d like to ask him. Like, how often should a man get a haircut? Because Trevino’s hair always looks perfect. He’s short and he’s not trim and he looks like a movie star and a man who has lived a life.\n\nThe Trevinos made an eagle on the par-5 last and Trevino stopped and talked to reporters for about three minutes. He was asked about his range session with Charlie, Tiger watching. Here’s what Trevino said:\n\n“See, now that I’ve turned 82, I’m in Vegas every week. It stays in Vegas. We had a great conversation yesterday. It was beautiful. It would make headlines.\n\n“He and I are good buddies. I’ve known him since he was eight years old. Appreciate him, very much. I know what he’s going through. I’ve gone through these back operations and stuff and whatever time limit you give him, he’ll beat it.”\n\nTrevino was done. Trevino was hungry. Trevino is ornery, or he can be. You know, geniuses aren’t easy."

"Let’s talk about what happened this week. There’s pictures of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello kissing in every city, county and country they’ve visited. There’s Miley Cyrus making out with Kaitlynn Carter at every high profile restaurant and club they can hit up in one week. I’ve read about a woman “wedding crasher’ who the police are currently looking for who has been crashing people’s weddings in Texas and stealing all of their gifts and money. There’s a Mensa woman who went to see her doctor because she thought she was passing kidney stones and gave birth to triplets right there at the doctor’s office because she was actually in labor.\n\nYou know, I always wonder about those people who have no idea they’re pregnant until they give birth. We’ve all been reading about these weirdos forever and I just can’t wrap my head around it. “I was just going to the bathroom and the next thing you know a baby popped out”.\n\nMy favorite story of the week though is about an Instagram Influencer. Influencers these days will do just about anything to get attention or sell something. But one influencer in particular, she went all in. I mean ALL in.",

"Tiffany Mitchell, a lifestyle blogger in Nashville, has been accused of faking/staging a motorcycle accident while placing a Smartwater bottle in front of her “accident”. She posted pictures of herself in front of her motorcycle while seemingly posing and acting out her pain (in front of the water bottle). Her makeup perfectly done and not a hair out of place, she included several flattering pics that her photographer friend took of her in different positions on the ground next to her bike. If anyone’s wondering how her photographer friend got there, she happened to be riding along side Tiffany before the accident. Obvs. There were also shots posted with a model looking man helping her up/holding her hand. How convenient that a beefy, perfectly styled, and handsome man just happened to come along when she needed him.\n\nSince she’s getting a lot of internet business about this, she has responded with the following: “Nothing about this was staged. I’m sad that some people are taking it that way, but it’s just not the case… I didn’t know she was taking them, but later on when she showed them to me I was so grateful that she captured such an intense moment for me… I would never turn a very important personal story like this into a brand campaign… the water was given to me while I was resting.”\n\nIf you look at her Instagram page, you’ll notice that she took the time to post her “accident pics” in the same color scheme and style as the rest of her page. This accident was sexy and very cinematographically composed. It’s a lifestyle baby. To be continued…. Just remember- water makes everything better. I’ve always said that.",

Something along the lines of him being served with documents Shawn gave him while he was in the hospital getting ready for heart surgery while being told he may only have three days to live stating everything went to her in case anything happened and not their kids. Larry’s worth over $100 million. Reportedly, Larry and Shawn’s sons caught wind of this and begged their father to leave their mom.

"Instead of hearing the truth of the Gospel that night, however, Ediyan filtered everything he heard through his Islamic faith. Feeling hurt and offended by these new beliefs, he refused to return. In fact, he stayed away for an entire year — even when his new friends invited him again.\n\nOne day, he decided to accept their invitation. This time, he felt welcomed. With the help of group members, Ediyan learned more about Jesus and began to read God’s Word. Soon, he was standing up for his newfound faith in Jesus as the Messiah in the presence of other Muslims. “As the Gospel entered my life, I realized that faith in Jesus Christ was in my heart,” he says. “I’m committed to serving the one true God and my Savior.”\n\nToday, Ediyan is one of our ministry partners and leads a team of believers who travel to nearby villages and share the Gospel. He leads two Bible study groups and looks forward to starting new churches in his area.\n\nEdiyan adds, “Now that I know God’s truth, I want to tell everyone I meet about Jesus Christ.”"

"The great casino debate is heating up online, where No Casino Toronto’s grassroots lobbying efforts face competition from a slick new MGM Resorts website that says its facility would showcase “the soul of Toronto.”\n\nLas Vegas-based MGM and Toronto-based developer Cadillac Fairview promise thousands of jobs, $2 billion to $4 billion in investment and a stampede of tourists, on the website expected to be officially announced Wednesday along with an official Facebook page.\n\nThey say an integrated casino resort at Exhibition Place would include a luxury hotel, convention facilities, restaurants, nightlife, “best-in-class” shopping — and gambling in less than 10 per cent of the resort.\n\nThe site includes a tab to directly “share your thoughts with your local city councillor.”\n\nThe website does not mention that Brian Ashton, president of the board that runs the Ex, is lobbying city councillors to reject the proposal, out of fear a casino-resort would take up too much room and kill the annual fair.\n\nAnd while it acknowledges that gambling addiction is a “public health issue” and touts MGM efforts to curb the problem, the site does not note the city’s board of health has said the public health risks outweigh potential benefits.\n\nOntario Lottery and Gaming Corp.’s modernization plan includes one new privately built and operated casino in the GTA. Other companies eager to build in Toronto include Caesars Entertainment and Las Vegas Sands, but OLG says it won’t force a casino on communities that don’t want one.\n\nIn the other social media corner is No Casino Toronto, which has used Facebook and Twitter to grow from three concerned women to a city-wide campaign against a downtown casino.\n\nLast month, the group boasted to the Star: “We literally own the conversation around Toronto casinos on social media,” based on a dramatic increase in visits to its Facebook page.\n\n“Likes” for the page were growing by 1,000 per week, up from 80 per week in December. The group reported a similar jump in use of its survey that uses respondents’ postal codes to automatically email the results to their city councillor.\n\nMayor Rob Ford’s executive is expected to vote on the casino question next month, but city council will have the final say, probably in April."

"DUBOIS, Pa. – Penn State DuBois men’s basketball went 2-0 over the past week to improve to 3-1 on the young season.\n\nAgainst Titusville, DuBois came out with a fury of quick layups by both of their top scorers in Brandon Bernhardt (Milford, N.J.) and Zack Dahlstrand (Erie, Pa.). Visiting Pitt-Titusville wasn’t about to come all this way just to lay down, however, as they pushed right back with a couple of 3 point buckets by Moye’A Brown and Izaiah Dickerson.\n\nDuBois led the way at the half on the boards 31-18, 8 of which were pulled down by Bernard Rauckhorst (Grampian, PA), but it was Pitt-Titusville that owned the score at the break, 54-45.\n\nThe 2nd half saw Coach Howard’s team come to life as they tied the game within the first two minutes after the break off of Cole Morris (Rimersburg, Pa.) two made free throws. The game went back-and-forth, bucket-for-bucket until about the eight-minute mark left in the half.\n\nPitt-Titusville continued to chip away at that lead and even brought it back within two at one point thanks to a 3-point field goal by Hysheem Robinson with 47 seconds left in the game.\n\nPitt-Titusville had no choice now but to foul, and DuBois wasn’t about to lose at home by missing its free throws.\n\nDahlstrand and Tre’von Williams (Johnstown, Pa.) sunk the next four free-throw attempts for DuBois, and it also helped that Pitt-Titusville missed two big 3-point attempts to end the game.\n\nDahlstrand led DuBois scoring effort with 24 but shot a tough 10-for-25 from the field to get it done. Huey ended the afternoon with 20 points and six rebounds, while Bernhardt ended with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Williams had his best offensive game of the season with 18 points to help lift DuBois to the win.\n\nPitt-Titusville went 15 of 46 from the 3-point line and was outrebounded 57 to 34 by the DuBois big men. Dickerson led all scorers with 28 points.\n\nAgainst CCAC-Boyce, a slow start for DuBois kept the visitors in the game in the first half.\n\nDuBois was ahead, but only 7-6 after five minutes of play.\n\nLuckily, a passion filled timeout by Coach Howard got his team a little fire.\n\nDuBois held Boyce to just 24 percent shooting from the field on 11 of 46.\n\nThe Lions struggled early from the field themselves, but Zack Dahlstrand (Erie, Pa.) and Brandon Bernhardt (Milford, N.J.) grabbed eight rebounds each in the first half alone as they helped DuBois win the rebound game in the first, 37-24.\n\nDuBois late defensive effort was enough to help it gain a bigger lead, as the Lions kept pressuring Boyce in the first half. Shooting 10 of 13 from the free throw line helped in a big way as DuBois took the lead heading into the locker room, 40-33.\n\nStarting the second half reminiscent of the first.\n\nCoach Howard called on his freshman big man, Osagie Evbuomwan (Severn, Md.) to go in and make a difference against the smaller lineup of Boyce. With a thundering presence, Osagie put his size to use, pulling down six offensive rebounds and putting up 10 points to lift his team’s spirits.\n\nBoyce’s Sherron Schifino-Win tried valiantly to lift his team as he knocked down shot after shot, but it wasn’t enough of an answer for the DuBois run-and-gun plays.\n\nSchifino-Win ended the evening with 34 points for Boyce. Noah Beight led Boyce with 14 rebounds to do his part, nine of those being offensive.\n\nWith Boyce shooting only 25-for-85 from the field, however, DuBois came out with the final win.\n\nDuBois had six players in double-figures in scoring with Dylan Huey (Punxsutawney, Pa.) leading them with 16 on the night followed up by Tre’von Williams (Johnstown, Pa.) with 14.\n\nDuBois finished the game outrebounding Boyce as a team, 63-41.

"At the start of the year, China's largest technology companies known as the BATs, or Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, looked unstoppable. Things continued to go very well for the big three throughout the first half of the year, with all of the firms' share share prices hitting record highs.\n\nBut since the summer, investors in the BATs have been tearing their hair out as stock prices began to fall, ruining the decent start to 2018. Collectively, the BATs have lost around $165 billion in value year-to-date, each for their own reasons.\n\nU.S.-listed Alibaba and Baidu have been caught up in the broader sell-off in Chinese stocks resulting from weak sentiment because of the U.S.-China trade war.\n\nTencent, meanwhile, has been hit by regulatory woes. The Chinese government has raised concerns about eye problems in the world's second-largest economy and cited video games as one of the causes. Beijing suggested slowing down approvals of new games. Tencent makes a huge amount of money from games and concerns over the future of this part of its business have weighed on its stock.\n\nBut looking beyond the trade war rhetoric and short term problems, the BATs certainly have enough firepower to have market leadership. They also pose a major challenge to major U.S. tech names known as the FANGs or Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet, the parent company of Google.\n\nJust look at the growth and size of their businesses. Tencent grew 30 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of the year, Alibaba increased revenues 61 percent, while Baidu saw 32 percent growth.\n\nAll of these business are expanding rapidly into new geographies and areas. Tencent's massive games business continues to have traction despite regulatory issues and the giant also owns WeChat, China's most popular messaging app with over a billion monthly users. Tencent is pushing WeChat Pay, the payments service that runs within WeChat.\n\nAlibaba continues to grow its core commerce business, while Baidu, which has seen hits to its core search business, has been investing heavily in artificial intelligence and autonomous cars.\n\nThe BATs have also spent billions of dollars investing in other companies, to the point where they are not only technology firms, but investors too. Bernstein Analyst Bhavtosh Vajpayee recently dubbed Tencent the \"SoftBank of China.\" SoftBank is the Japanese firm that has its own $100 billion Vision Fund which it invests in big tech firms across the world.",
null,
"While heavy investment could be seen as a negative by investors because it weighs on profits, it could also set these companies up for future growth. The investments made by the BATs could provide good returns in the event of an initial public offering or acquisition of these companies. Or the firms that the BATs have invested in could just be acquired by either one of them.\n\nAnd perhaps the biggest factor working in their favor is the impenetrable nature of the Chinese market for the FANGs. Google has not been in the Chinese market since 2010 after it withdrew over concerns about censorship. Facebook is blocked, Netflix is not available and Amazon has a very tiny business in the country.\n\nEven though recent reports suggested Google is looking to enter the market, the company will find it difficult to dislodge the dominance of Baidu. Amazon could find it a huge task to take on Alibaba. And Facebook will face an uphill battle getting its product to stick, particularly as Tencent's WeChat is woven into the fabric of Chinese society. China still remains a huge opportunity for the FANGs but it continues to be out of reach.\n\nWith a home market of over a billion people, a push by the Chinese government into new technologies like AI, and continued growth of digital services, the BATs may have taken a couple of hefty blows this year, but they're certainly not down for the count.",

"EASTON, Mass. (June 8, 2022) – Stonehill College Women’s Basketball Head Coach Trisha Brown announced the addition of Jill Conroy and Jhay Fletcher to his coaching staff prior to the College’s transition to NCAA Division I status as a member of the Northeast Conference for the next season 2022-23.\n\n“I am extremely happy to welcome Jill and Jhay to the Stonehill Women’s Basketball family,” said Brown. “Both come with exceptional experience and demonstrated success in all aspects of college coaching. They have a strong passion for the profession and will bring great energy as we move into Division I.”\n\nConroy joins Brown’s coaching staff after three years as an assistant coach under Megan Haughey at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, before being promoted to associate head coach in January. She was named one of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) 30 Under 30 award recipients this spring and attended the 2022 NCAA Women’s Coaches Academy and 2021 NCAA Basketball Coaches Academy. Conroy helped Stevens win an improvement of eight wins from the 2019-20 season to 2021-22, as the Ducks posted a 19-7 record overall last winter, including 12-4 in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC), en route to a second place in the MAC tournament. The program has appeared in the WBCA Division III Top 25 two of his three seasons at Stevens and the program has produced two All-MAC entertainers, including the 2020 MAC Co-Defensive Player of the Year.\n\nConroy also served as co-chair of the Stevens Athletic Department Service Committee, organizing community service opportunities for the department, including but not limited to a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club, National Girls’ Day and women in sport and food drives for local charities. Conroy has coached women’s basketball with the United AAU program in New Jersey for the past year, helping coach the 16U and 17U teams in practices and games.\n\nPrior to joining Stevens’ coaching staff, Conroy spent two years as an assistant coach to Bethann Burke at Goldey-Beacom College in Wilmington, Delaware. Conroy graduated with honors in 2017 from Holy Family University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she was a four-year member of the Tigers women’s basketball program for coaches Melissa Dunne and Mark Miller. Conroy helped guide Holy Family to a pair of NCAA tournament deals, winning the 2015 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) championship, earning second-team All-CACC honors as a senior, while serving as a Team captain. She finished her career ranked fourth all-time in Holy Family history with 1,349 points and second with 440 assists. Conroy earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sports Management and Marketing, was inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society, and served as the chair of the Holy Family Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.\n\nFletcher joins Brown’s coaching staff after serving the past two years as a graduate assistant coach at Goucher College in Towson, Maryland, under coach Andrea Preston. She assisted the Gophers’ recruiting efforts by serving as the program’s point of contact for recruits from 2022-2024, communicating and documenting all interactions for the program. Fletcher conducted individual and group workouts, planned and facilitated conditioning, and created training plans and scouting reports as per assignments. She also managed the program’s social media.\n\nPrior to joining Goucher, Fletcher was an assistant varsity women’s basketball coach at Bowling Green High School in Kentucky for a year. She also served as head basketball coach with Bowling Green Parks and Recreation for a year. Fletcher has gained valuable management experience with I9 Sports Corporation in Baltimore, Maryland over the past year under owner developer Ryan Ebert. She volunteered at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament this spring, the 2018 Southeastern Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament and the 2018 NCAA Men’s Tournament in Nashville, Tennessee.\n\nStonehill finished its 2021-22 season with a 16-9 overall record, including 12-7 in the Northeast Conference-10 to claim the No. 3 seed in the Conference Northeast Division by making its 40e appearance in the NE10 tournament. The Skyhawks were ranked No. 8 in the NCAA Division II Final Regional Rankings before tournament bids were announced and reached the NE10 Championship for the 13e time in the program’s history to close the program’s Division II era."

"This is not about Stuart Pearce attending a Sex Pistols reunion concert during Euro ’96 (that really did happen) or about John Lydon being an Arsenal supporter. This is about a couple of artists who they might have met, I’m sure have listened to anyway, also have links to football via their music.\n\nJohn Peel as well (gratuitous mention for my other gig at Keeping It Peel) – both recorded Peel Sessions.\n\nYou are all familiar with the punk poet John Cooper Clarke, these two were also in that category but didn’t get the same national acclaim as JCC. Setting that record straight here and now.",
null,
"First up is Patrik Fitzgerald who could be described more as a folk punk than a poet, but if you listened to when Cooper Clarke put his poetry to music, it sounded like what Fitzgerald was doing.\n\n– Snippets from his Wikipedia entry:\n\n\nHis early songs were generally short, sarcastic efforts, recorded with just an acoustic guitar and occasional studio effects, with lyrics containing a large amount of social comment. Fitzgerald was soon regarded as an original of his genre, somewhere between a punk-poet and an urban folksinger…\n\n…He was a regular customer at the Small Wonder record shop in London, and they launched a record label Fitzgerald was one of the first to submit a demo – and got a deal, with the new label releasing his first three EPs, the first being Safety-Pin Stuck in My Heart, still his best-known work, and one which he subtitles “a love song for punk music”\n\nHe performed all around London at the punk gigs and supported The Jam on a national tour.\n\n– And where the football part comes in here: There was a track on his debut album in which he sang of the experiences of attending a match back in the late 70’s. It was when the grounds were dilapidated, when there was fighting, when watching the football wasn’t enjoyable for anyone.\n\nIt’s no fun being sliced in two by a railway train\nIt’s no fun being thrown down stone stairs with parts of you in flame\nIt’s no fun keeping memories in the form of scars\nand an autograph doesn’t seem the same when it’s written on a plaster cast\nIt’s no fun getting chased down the road when you’re — — —\nIn the back of a pub, crates of beer bottles and, that is all\nYou scream but at that moment the home team, almost score\nYou give up your fanclub membership, your scarf but you know, they want more…\n\nThe competition for a coffee and muffins on a Saturday\nWhile the suspends — playing your favourite tunes\nThe telephone’s off the hook no one to answer the door, waiting for the final score\n\nIt’s no fun when you head looks like a slot in the toilet door\nBecause someone thought better than spending a penny and threw it just to see it, sore\nAbove the heads of the crowds they shouted out loud, waving to a camera\nThey’re coming for you on a stretcher (bye bye) I guess we won’t see you anymore\n\nAs you can see had trouble understanding some of the words, if you can help leave a comment below.\n\nThis track was also part of a Peel Session:\n\nThe next punk poet is Attila The Stockbroker and I’m going to extract and mention some of the important bits from his Wikipedia entry here:\n\n…was briefly bass player in punk bands English Disease and Brighton Riot Squad, and spent some time in 1979 in Brussels playing bass in Belgian band Contingent before going solo.\n\n…He did his first gig as Attila the Stockbroker in September 1980. At first he performed poems and songs in between bands at punk rock concerts, accompanying himself on the mandolin…\n\nHis wiki entry is long because he’s had a long career and I wanted to get to the relevant part. The football.\n\nBrighton & Hove Albion F.C. are now residents in the Premier League but in 1997 they were one goal away from being relegated to the Conference. It was the last day of that season and they had to either win or draw against the team below them to survive. They didn’t help their cause when their defender scored an own goal, but then on 62 minutes the sub Robbie Reinelt pounced onto a rebound to slot it away to draw the game. At the final whistle it was H*reford who exited the league, never to return.\n\nThere still wasn’t sunshine for the Seagulls, during the season their dodgy owners at the time sold the Goldstone Ground and they were exiled for a few years. Imagine having to travel 70 miles to watch your home team play. Despite this they continued to survive and they eventually moved back to Brighton, albeit in an athletic stadium.\n\nThey also climbed the tables and plans were put in place to build a new home at Falmer.\n\nYou know that they are there now but it was a long drawn out, painful journey to get there. After the planning applications were submitted there were objections filed by nearby potential residents (“not in my back yard!”) and from Lewes Council.\n\nFurther complications arose because of fields nearby, some of which were designated areas of national beauty. There were public inquires taking place and the process seemed to go on and on. Years were passing by with still no stadium on the horizon.\n\nIt was during this bogged down in red tape/glacial pace phase when Attila The Stockbroker decided to take action to highlight Brighton’s plight. He rewrote the lyrics to a familiar song originally done by another well known Brighton artist, then gathered together other local musicians and they recorded this single. As the man himself wrote: ‘with the dual aim of raising money for the Albion’s Alive & Kicking Fund and trying to take the song, and the Falmer For All Campaign, into the Top 20 in the month before the Public Enquiry restarted in February 2005’.\n\nYou will remember The Piranhas featuring Boring Bob Grover, they hit the charts with their cover of the tune. Attila The Stockbroker asked Bob to appear on the single, he declined but gave his blessing to this version. Sample line:\n\n‘For years the planning process has dragged on and on/A paralytic snail wouldn’t take that long/We’re stuck in an athletics track we really hate/Like playing in Albania Division Eight!’\n\nThe hearings dragged on and at one point it looked like things were going their way when the then Deputy Prime Minister approved the scheme, but no. Another objection raised, a withdrawal of that. Another separate inquiry, hearings… until finally in September 2007 they got permission to proceed.\n\nIt still took some time to build but eventually the now named Amex Stadium was opened in 2011 and in 2017, twenty years after being 30 minutes away from dropping out at the bottom, Brighton were in the Premier League.\n\nOh the Sex Pistols/Stuart Pearce-attended gig I mentioned above – he took Gareth Southgate with him.\nHe was never the same again."

"Have you seen the lineup of movies Netflix is bringing onto its streaming service this year? From superhero hits to cinematic classics, there’s a lot to look forward to this year if you’re a Netflix subscriber. These are just the top 5 movies you can expect Netflix to bring to the small screen in 2018.\n\n#5 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory – Perfect for family movie night, the original (1971) film starring Gene Wilder has been charming audiences for decades. Enter the strange world written by Roald Dahl that’s every kid’s dream: a tour of a candy factory (with more surprises than just the confectionary).",
null,

"#3 Batman (1989 to 2005) – Netflix is bringing every Batman movie from Tim Burton’s 1989 throwback to the start of the most contemporary trilogy, Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. Fans often give goth-maestro Tim Burton’s take on the caped crusader a bad rap, but the sets blend Burton’s imagination with gritty Gotham, while Jack Nicholson’s Joker was probably the best Batman villain performance ever until Heath Ledger outdid him in the same role.",
null,
null,
"#1 The Godfather Series – It would be a sacrilege not to give Francis Ford Coppola’s masterworks (at least Parts I and II) top spot, but with so many classic flicks being released on Netflix, ranking them is no easy feat. Part I was the highest grossing film ever made from 1972 to 1976 (when Jaws took the title, only to lose it a few years later to Star Wars). The crime saga starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino is widely regarded as one of the highest achievements in American cinema.\n\nNow that you know what to look forward to, do you have the set-up to enjoy it? If you’re still using your laptop to watch TV and movies, it’s time to upgrade.\n\nFrom full-blown entertainment centers to the TV stand it sits on, there’s a lot you can do for your living room. Start with the TV: flat screens have never been more affordable. For high-end picture quality, the LG C7 is a critic favorite while the Vizio E is a good option if you’re on a budget. For TV stands, compare your options online where you can find all the accessories you need for your entertainment center. All you need is something that will match the rest of your living room (and fit your TV). Don’t forget the surround speakers and you’re ready to enjoy the new lineup of movies on Netflix the way they were meant to be watched."

"One SA Movement leader Mmusi Maimane said government ministers were exempt from the ravages of load shedding or inconsistent power supply because taxpayers were paying for their generators.\n\nONE SA Movement leader Mmusi Maimane has described President Cyril Ramaphosa’s latest plan to resolve the country’s energy crisis as another example of a Presidency “full of many plans but lack of delivery”.\n\nMaimane said Ramaphosa, who was chair of the Interministerial Committee on Eskom, had promised many turnaround plans.\n\nOn Monday, Ramaphosa announced a plan aimed at improving the performance of Eskom’s existing fleet of power stations.\n\nThe final pillars of the plan include enabling businesses and households to invest in rooftop solar and fundamentally transforming the electricity sector and positioning it for future sustainability.\n\nMaimane said government ministers were exempt from the ravages of load shedding or inconsistent power supply because taxpayers were paying for their generators.\n\nRecent media reports indicate that Bryntirion Estate in Pretoria, where Ramaphosa, Deputy President David Mabuza and other ministers and deputy ministers have their official homes, is exempt from load shedding.\n\nAccording to the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, R1.3 million was used in the previous financial year to purchase and install generators at the official homes of ministers and deputies. R681,000 had been used for this purpose in the current financial year. This was confirmed by department spokesperson Thami Mchunu.\n\nMaimane said ministers could afford to install their own generators and should not be using taxpayers’ money to make them exempt from the harsh effects of load shedding.\n\n“Many people in the parliamentary space do not know the harsh reality experienced by many South Africans.\n\n“We all need to take a hard look at the budget for the executive, the issue of secondary homes for them and outrageous perks.\n\n“They are not solving the problems in our lives but we are giving them the most pampered lives possible,” said Maimane."

"What should have been obvious to everyone from the start of the Aurora theater trial was that no good ending was possible.\n\nWhich is why the trial should never have taken place.\n\nThe decision to go for the death penalty for James Holmes risked two things: failure and success. Failure meant the horrors of that night would be continuously relived, hearts broken and re-broken and broken yet again in testimony that broke all our hearts, and all for a result — a life sentence without possibility of parole – that was offered before the trial had begun.\n\nAnd. success? What is success in a death-penalty case in Colorado? A death-penalty verdict means years upon years, maybe decades upon decades, of appeals from death row and, with those appeals, the horrors relived and hearts broken over and over again.\n\nAnd since 1967, death-penalty verdicts have meant a total of one execution in Colorado. That’s one over the last 48 years.\n\nI don’t know what George Brauchler, the prosecuting DA, was thinking. Because success, in this case, also meant executing a person who was clearly mentally ill. All the psychiatrists who testified at the trial — those who thought he was legally sane and those who didn’t — put Holmes somewhere on the schizophrenia spectrum. I doubt anyone believed an insanity plea would save Holmes from conviction. But, the long and expensive trial was basically a prelude to the penalty phase: Would the jurors sentence a mentally ill person – no matter how heinous his crime — to death? We now know they wouldn’t.\n\nAnd so the question now is what the verdict says about Colorado’s death penalty. After all, if Holmes, a mass murderer, gets life without parole, who deserves death? That’s a tough question and not just one for a philosophy test. It seems like a tougher question than the next capital punishment jury should have to answer. Juror 17, the one juror who has talked to the press, has given us the only insight into this jury’s thinking.\n\nIf the decision stunned most people, it shouldn’t have. It was never going to be easy to get a unanimous vote for death, and it had to be even harder when the person on trial was mentally ill. Juror 17 remarked on how civil the deliberations were. No one in that jury room was apparently ready to dispute the considered opinion of anyone who had to sit through that trial in judgement.\n\nBrauchler had said death was the only justice in this case. One poll said two of three Coloradans agreed with Brauchler. It’s easy to see why. Holmes brought terror that night to those he killed and wounded, to their families and to the rest of the community.\n\nBut, our take on the death penalty has changed in recent years. It’s not just the polls that have moved. You know nothing is the same when Nebraska, of all places, has outlawed the death penalty. Several death-penalty states have declared a moratorium. Gov. John Hickenlooper risked re-election to put Nathan Dunlap’s execution on hold. The ambivalence makes sense, and not only because America is the lone Western democracy with the death penalty.\n\nAs Holmes went to trial, there was every chance there would be no death penalty in Colorado – and maybe in the country – by the time he might have been executed. The random application of the penalty — only seven states executed anyone last year — has caused Supreme Court Justice Steve Breyer to call it “the antithesis of justice.”\n\nWhen Hickenlooper granted Dunlap a “temporary reprieve,” he said it was time for a statewide conversation on the death penalty. The conversation that Hickenlooper has rigorously avoided ever since now must begin. And with the Holmes decision as a clear conversation starter, there is no shortage of talking points.\n\nYou can’t have one execution in 48 years and three men now on death row — all of them, it turns out, African-American — and think the law is working. We can agree it’s not a deterrent. We can agree that it’s rarely pursued. And now we can agree that a death-qualified jury didn’t apply it to a mass murderer.",

"After enduring radio interviews and being slammed by everyone’s favorite circle of hipsters, the Smashing Pumpkins came out alive to continue rocking Chicago. Though they weren’t without consequences as Billy Corgan coughed, spit, and dragged around in a sick stupor. Whether or not the cold, the criticism, or the tour itself has weakened his immune system, we’ll never know (let’s leave that for TMZ to find out); nevertheless, Corgan pummeled through a high-octane set that raised the hair on every one of the 3, 929 fans that sold out the Auditorium Theatre last night.\n\n“I’m a lil’ sicky,” Corgan announced, shortly after he drove the stake through “Tarantula”, “G.L.O.W.”, and another smile-friendly performance of “Siva.” Sick or not, everyone was quite supportive, even singing along when Corgan asked for help. Much of this lends itself to the night’s receptive crowd, which was a relief in comparison to the fans that turned out for Tuesday’s ill-fated Black Sunshine set. Naturally, hits “Mayonaise” and “Tonight, Tonight” had everyone kicking up a storm. Some overzealous fans nearby squeezed and shouted in one another’s faces when Corgan lead the band into the latter Mellon Collie classic.",
null,
"It’s the jovial, “here’s to the weekend” like vibes that saved the night’s performance. As the set chugged forward, the band stayed tighter than ever, but it was more than obvious that Corgan was growing weary. During the tumultuous “Transformer”, the frontman could be seen coughing up a storm, visibily uncomfortable with his vocals. Yet remarkably, he remained true to the set, throwing out one of the week’s best performances yet during “Superchrist” and “United States.” If anyone doubted the chemistry between guitarist Jeff Schroeder and Corgan’s typical lead, then this performance was for them to see. The two ran on parallel lines the entire time, never faltering, and etching out a superb solo section that lasted a good four or five minutes in the sprawling ten minute opus. Corgan’s a fan of multi-layered solos these days a la A Night at the Opera. It looks like all that time with producer Roy Thomas Baker paid off after all.\n\nAll the acoustics came out wonderful, and the rasp in Corgan’s voice only added depth to the new tunes, not to mention, the addition of former drummer Matt Walker (who played for Chamberlin on the Adore tour) as well, who paralleled Chamberlin’s percussion. “Once Upon a Time” seemed abrupt, but “The Crux” and especially “The Rose March” are quickly becoming crowd favorites, as they received some wealthy applause. It was around this time that Corgan finally broke the fourth wall some, and spoke with the audience. Given the reactions this week, one was wary, but it turned out quite well. It seems like age and time is finally catching up as he pondered some (“Twenty years of making you sad. God, twenty years. Twenty years of destruction is more like it.”) and started joking about past achievements like “burning bridges” and “breaking hearts.” He even went on a tangent about how his second rock show he ever attended was at the Auditorium, “Thanks to Asia, I’m here right now.” Before they jumped into hits “Today” and “Bullet”, Corgan noted the shift in reception, and how the first night in Chicago, “felt like [he] was in Americas Top Model.” It was pleasant, and the crowd was treated with songs they had probably come to hear.",
null,
"Towards the end, before the jam-fest that’s become “Heavy Metal Machine/Glass/Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”, some very Joel Schumacher-esque neon filled the room and the band dived right into the heavy set thumper, “The Beginning is the End if the Beginning.” The former b-side to the Batman & Robin soundtrack, this forgotten number was made popular recently when it was attached to the teaser for the upcoming graphic novel adaptation, Watchmen. When Lisa Harriton let go on the atmospheric synth, everyone recognized the rarity and started singing along to the gospel-like choruses.\n\nAdmittedly, more and more people sat down throughout the Pink Floyd closer, but there was quite the enthusiasm for the hokey metal anthem, “Heavy Metal Machine.” Fans really let loose on this track, with most of the pit area containing head bangers that lightly bumped one another. It’s here, however, that Corgan started to die vocally, which is why the Floyd cover was more or less a redemption for him. When he walked off during “Set the Controls…”, everyone thought he would be back, but they were fooled.",
null,
"Much like the end of last February’s residency night with Wilco, fans refused to leave, even as the lights went on. Everyone knew there was supposed to be an encore, just as everyone knew their favorite band leader was too sick to perform. That didn’t stop them though and even as roadies disassembled amps and ten minutes had passed, they remained clapping, screaming, and chanting, “Billy! Billy! Billy!” Fortunately, the Great Pumpkin stayed behind the scenes, hopefully swimming at the bottom of a tea pot.\n\nFor he still has one more night to return to….\n\nRoctopus\nEverybody Clap Your Hands\nTarantula\nG.L.O.W.\nSiva\nMayonaise\nTonight, Tonight\nSpeed Kills\nTransformer\nSuperchrist\nUnited States\nOnce Upon a Time\nThe Crux\nThe Rose March\nToday\nBullet with Butterfly Wings\nThe Beginning is the End is the Beginning\nHeavy Metal Machine\nGlass\nSet the Controls for the Heart of the Sun",

The presence of senior international dignitaries at the event – among them United States secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner, European Union foreign-policy chief Javier Solana – reflects the geopolitical importance of the deal.\n\nBut this is but a stage in a long story, not its culmination; and the context and content of the agreement between these bitter adversaries reveal that the most serious problem between them – the genocide of the Armenians in 1915 and after – has been handled in a very bad way. This guarantees further dispute and tension, with the likelihood of ultimate breakdown.\n\nWhen Turkey’s president visited Yerevan to attend a World Cup qualifier between the two national football teams on 6 September 2008, I was hopeful that Turkey was seriously shifting its foreign policy in the direction of its proclaimed \"zero problems\" with its neighbours. In particular, I thought that Turkey would as part of a rapprochement with Armenia put an end to its sixteen-year long blockade of Armenia (imposed at the time of the post-Soviet confict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh).\n\nThis expectation was overturned when I read the protocols on establishing diplomatic relations and opening borders, which were made public on 31 August 2009. My impression was that Armenia was being forced to pay a high price, both morally and politically; that the documents set a bad precedent, in allowing strong states with a dark past to revise history at the negotiation-tables, with the blessing of world powers; and that the existing international political framework seems unable as a result to accommodate the grievances carried by the descendants of genocide victims.\n\nTo understand the limits of the Armenia-Turkey accord, a brief survey of the history they fail to address is unavoidable.\n\nThe heart of the issue that divides Armenia and Turkey is the uprooting, exile and massacre of almost the entire Armenian population of the Ottoman empire during the first world war, when the powerful Young Turk leaders Enver and Talat came to the view that the empire’s Armenian subjects of the empire constituted an \"enemy within\". Only a very few Armenians, mainly in the then capital Istanbul, survived out of a pre-genocide population of around 1.5 million.\n\nThere is copious documentation in many national archives – German, British, French, as well as Turkish and other – about what Armenians call the meds yeghern (great catastrophe). But despite this, and vast subsequent research material, the modern Turkish state continues – after ninety-four years – to deny the genocidal intention of its Ottoman predecessor. Turkey’s official narrative claims by turn that the relevant events were part of a civil war, in which Armenians also were agents of massacre against \"Muslims\"; and that in any case the Armenians deserved whatever happened to them because they had betrayed the empire and collaborated with the Russian and Tsarist enemy. Either version is governed by denial: of the reality of genocide, of the experience of victims, of the responsibility of perpetrators.\n\nThe Turkish state has made huge investments to spread this narrative via support for publications and payment of researchers, journalists and lobbyists. Against this, Armenian diaspora organisations have been active from 1965 in lobbying to seek international recognition of the genocide. Many researchers have continued to document and deepen understanding of the tragedy; these include Turkish scholars such as Taner Akçam.\n\nThe collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of independent Armenia in 1989-91 gave the whole affair a new dimension. Turkey recognised the Republic of\n\nArmenia, but did not establish diplomatic contacts. As the war in Nagorno-Karabakh escalated, Turkey shut down even the limited cross-border exchange (principally the Gyumri-Kars rail link) that had existed in Soviet times.\n\nIn 1993, Turkey joined Azerbaijan in imposing a blockade on Armenia in the attempt to force Yerevan to abandon its military (and political) support of the Karabakh authorities. Turkey later added two new preconditions before it would consider establishing diplomatic relations and raising the blockade: that Armenia accepted the 1921 treaty of Kars between Kemalist Turkey and Soviet Russia (which established the current state borders), and that Armenia ceased pursuing international recognition of the genocide.\n\nThe US state department acted as mediator between Ankara and Yerevan for over a decade, without result. The event that shuffled the cards in the region was the war between Russia and Georgia in August 2008. This made the opening of the Armenia-Turkey border look more attractive to both Moscow and Ankara for trade and security reasons, and fuelled Turkish diplomatic talk of \"zero problems\" with its neighbours.The election of Barack Obama, who during his campaign had promised to recognise the Armenian genocide, acted as a further pressure on Ankara. The status quo was starting to appear untenable.\n\nIt was in the wake of the short, vicious August 2008 war that Armenia’s president (Serzh Sarkisian) invited his Turkish counterpart (Abdullah Gül) to visit Yerevan to attend the scheduled football match. This in turn ignited a chain of intensive consultations and rumours, including about an early reopening of the border. The next, and sudden, breakthrough occurred on 23 April 2009 – the eve of the day each year when Armenians commemorate the genocide – when Turkey and Armenia along with their Swiss mediators announced a \"roadmap\" towards normalisation.\n\nThis announcement also allowed Barack Obama in his 24 April address to use the term meds yeghern and thus avoid the juridical meaningful \"genocide\" – thus in effect retreating from his campaign promise. In the ensuing weeks Ankara also took a step back and insisted that the opening of borders could not take place before the solution of the Karabakh conflict – a clear concession to Azerbaijani interests. Now, with the protocols (which have to be ratified by the respective parliaments before they come into effect) Turkey can continue to press Armenia by saying that the process will be halted unless there is \"progress\" on the Karabakh issue.\n\nThe four-page text agreed on 31 August 2009 – the basis of the 10 October accords – made reference to recognising the \"existing borders\": a hint in the direction of the Kars treaty. But the real disaster lies in the pledge to \"implement a dialogue on the historic dimension with the aim to restore mutual confidence between the two nations, including an impartial scientific examination of the historical records and archives to define problems and formulate recommendations\".\n\nThis is the equivalent of a coup d’état by diplomats and politicians over the work of historians. This is not these gentlemen’s job; the best they can do is to regulate the political problems between their two states, and leave study of the historic records – opened to all – to scholars. It is a bitter twist that two days before the protocols were signed, Turkey’s supreme court of appeals found that the Nobel literature laureate Orhan Pamuk can be sued for an interview given to the Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger in which he said \"30,000 Kurds and a million Armenians have been killed and almost nobody dares to mention that.\"\n\nThe Armenian foreign ministry says that the protocols do not include preconditions, especially over the main Turkish demand that opening the borders should be linked to progress over the Karabakh conflict; and that therefore the accords are a great success for them. But the protocols do refer to the Kars treaty, and satisfy Turkey’s key aim of deflecting or halting the process of international recognition of the genocide. For it is all too predictable that in future Obama or his European counterparts will refrain from use of the term \"genocide\" on the grounds that the two sides are engaged in sensitive negotiations and thus it is better not to disturb them.\n\nThus, the way the protocols indirectly put the genocide on the negotiating table allows Turkey to win twice: by creating a process that deters foreign powers from intervening and putting pressure on Turkey, and by granting Turkey the formal possibility of questioning the genocide.\n\nThe leading genocide scholar Roger W Smith has written an open letter to the Armenian president, which says: \"Scholars have identified the Armenian genocide as the archetypal case of modern genocide, whose pattern has many similarities with subsequent cases. Therefore, any commission that purports now to conduct ‘an impartial scientific examination of the historical records and archives’ in effect dismisses all of the extensive research that has already been conducted for decades and implies that none of it was impartial or scientific. This is offensive to all genocide scholars, but particularly non-Armenian scholars, who feel their work is now being truly politicised.\"\n\nHe concludes: \"the scholars are concerned that a historical commission would embolden those who would consider perpetrating genocide in future years by showing how easily genocide can be relativised, especially by the powerful.\"\n\nThe deal of 10 October 2009 entails that several intergovernmental commissions will be assigned to study Armenian-Turkish relations in such areas as economy, trade and culture (including, for example, the fate of thousands of Armenian churches and cultural monuments in Turkey), as well as the events of 1915 and after. The two countries’ diplomats will need to agree on 4,000 pages rather than just the four of the protocols. It is a recipe lacking the key ingredient: a recognition by Turkey of the dark pages of its own history.",

"Most African countries simply don’t want to get involved in US great powers rivalry with Russia and China.\n\nStarting on December 13, the United States of America is hosting a three-day US-African partnership summit with leaders from across the African continent. The troubled Biden administration’s national security official John Kirby has been insisting in interviews with regional media that “the summit is not about ‘an us’ or them ultimatum” when it comes to Moscow’s and Beijing’s expanding influence in Africa.\n\nHowever, so far, precisely this was the message the US sent on the very first day of the summit. According to Al Jazeera, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told African leaders at the summit that “Russia risked destabilizing the continent with their rising involvement.” Speaking at the opening of the three-day US-Africa summit, Austin stated that “Russia is continuing to peddle cheap weapons and deploying mercenaries across the continent.”\n\nThe claims made by the US Defense Secretary are hypocritical at best. In late November, the Nigerian government warned that the weapons US and NATO are sending to the Kiev regime have started to appear in West Africa. According to the government in Abuja, illegal arms have begun to “filter” into the region. The urgent warning was issued by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari himself in an official statement posted on the website of the Nigerian presidential office. Buhari “urged more vigilance and tightening of security around borders”, drawing attention to the “increased number of arms, ammunition, and other weapons from the Russia and Ukraine war in the Lake Chad Basin.”\n\nAs for the accusation that Russia was deploying PMCs (private military companies), this too can only be described as hypocrisy, given the fact that the US and other Western mercenaries have been operating across Africa for decades. In addition, Russian PMCs (Austin was most likely referring to the “Wagner Group”) were officially invited by at least half a dozen African countries. These companies are helping various African governments in training their troops and are sometimes directly involved in fighting terrorists and other illegal armed groups, many of which are more often than not supported by the political West with the aim of destabilizing the said African countries.\n\nThe US also accused Russia of being the main culprit behind the looming global food crisis, which the Biden administration tried to (ab)use heavily during the summit which includes the participation of 49 African countries. Many of these are rightly concerned about being unable to afford enough food to feed their populations. However, the food crisis has been the result of US sanctions and anti-Russian policies which are preventing many of the aforementioned African countries from importing key Russian commodities such as food and fertilizers. This is driving up prices across the globe and is exacerbating the already existing food insecurity in many African countries.\n\nOn the other hand, most of the Ukrainian wheat and other food products that the political West insists are there to “feed the world” are ending up in rich Western countries which acquired approximately 30% of Ukrainian arable land and are exploiting it for their own gain. For months, the Western mainstream propaganda machine has been parroting about Africa-bound food shipments allegedly blocked in the Black Sea by Russia, while in reality, there was neither a blockade nor the food was ever destined to go to Africa. To make matters worse, after Russia signed the grain deal, the political West (ab)used the newly opened sea routes to send more weapons to the Kiev regime, many of which ended up in Africa, as previously mentioned.\n\nHowever, most African countries simply decided to not get involved with US great powers rivalry, so the belligerent thalassocracy tried convincing them that it will be investing $55 billion in multiple African countries over the next three years. On the eve of the summit, December 12, US national security advisor Jake Sullivan said: “Working closely with Congress, the US will commit $55bn to Africa over the course of the next three years.”\n\nApart from the (unsuccessful) attempts to cause a rift between Africa and Russia, the US also tried denigrating China during the summit. Austin insisted that “China is expanding its footprint on a daily basis“. He told the African leaders about the growing economic influence of China, adding: “The troubling piece there is they’re not always transparent in terms of what they’re doing and that creates problems that will be eventually destabilizing, if they’re not already.” However, the African nations were not particularly concerned by these statements. This week’s summit is only the second such that the US has hosted in eight years, after the Obama administration initiated the first US-Africa summit in 2014. This just goes to show how much the US cares about Africa (and the Global South in general).\n\nThis stands in complete contrast to China’s continued commitment to its massive economic projects with countries across the Global South, including Africa. China-Africa Cooperation Forum, which is held regularly every three years since 2000, serves as a testament to that.\n\nThere is also Beijing’s (and Moscow’s) continued support for liberation movements against the disastrous (neo)colonial rule of the political West, as well as the colossal scope of commercial and economic investment in the “New Silk Road” (or “Belt and Road”) project, making the Asian giant the continent’s largest trading partner. This goes both ways, as just last year the trade exchange between China and the continent exceeded $254 billion, which is four times the trade between the US and Africa."

"Global Communities, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has marked this year’s “Global Hand Washing Day” with residents of Tinjase in the Nkwanta North District of the Oti Region to increase awareness on the importance of hand washing with soap under running water.\n\nThe NGO, with focus on education for children, sanitation and hygiene, brought together pupils from Tinjanse L/A School, teachers, officers from Global Communities and volunteers to participate in the programme.\n\nGlobal Hand Washing Day is observed to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of hand washing with soap under running water.\n\nThe United Nations chose October 15, annually, to observe the Day as part of efforts to attain clean hand washing as a daily habit.\n\nThis year’s theme is: “Hand Hygiene for All,” reminding the public of the importance of hand hygiene, especially in critical times like the Covid’19 pandemic, to protect the health of the citizenry.\n\nMr Alberto Wilde, the Country Director, Global Communities, said the ‘Wash for Health Project’ started its operations in the Nkwanta North District in 2015 with community lead total sanitation (CLTS) implementation in 12 communities, which had expanded to the entire district.\n\nHe said about 61 communities had been declared Open Defecation-Free (ODF) by the Regional Inter-Agency Coordinating Committee on Sanitation with almost 80 percent of households having improved latrines and hand-handwashing stations in close proximity.\n\nThe project had undertaken interventions for behaviour change in the District including the construction of eight latrines, rehabilitation of 13 broken down boreholes, drilling new boreholes for nine communities, and three limited mechanised boreholes for Community-based Health Planning Services (CHPS) compound.\n\nMr Wilde said one small town water system with a capacity of hundred cubic metres had been provided for the Tinjase Community.\n\nThe project had trained more than 300 extension workers to engage school children and community members to adopt healthy handwashing behaviours.\n\nHe, therefore, gave a two-month ultimatum to have a household toilet to avoid open defecation and keep the environment clean.\n\nThe DCE said the Assembly would not hesitate to prosecute people who failed to comply with the two months grace period, urging them to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the Global Communities to construct the facility in their homes.\n\nMr Jakayi said the District cherished peace and so any individual or group found to engage in acts that threatened the peace would be dealt with by the security officers."

"Shia LaBeouf is addressing the abuse allegations and accusations of disturbing behavior that have plagued him over the past two years.\n\nDuring a two-hour, in-depth interview on Jon Bernthal's \"Real Ones\" podcast, per Variety, the actor reflected on a wide variety of allegations after being sued by ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs in 2020 -- though he never mentioned her by name in the episode.\n\nShe accused him of \"relentless abuse,\" including sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress. FKA Twigs -- who dated LaBeouf for less than a year after the two met on the set of \"Honey Boy\" in 2018 -- also claimed LaBeouf knowingly gave her a sexually transmitted disease, and alleged he killed stray dogs.\n\nSpeaking with Bernthal, LaBeouf, 36, said \"I hurt that woman,\" before detailing the fallout from the allegations. \"And in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman,\" he said, \"I was a pleasure-seeking, selfish, self-centered, dishonest, inconsiderate, fearful human being.”\n\n\"When I think about what my life has become, and what it is now, like what my purpose is now… I need to be useful,\" he continued. \"And when I look at this #MeToo environment, there's not a whole lot of dudes that are taking accountability.”\n\nThe Disney Channel alum later noted that there is a \"long list of people that I need to make amends to.\"\n\nLaBeouf -- who has previously denied all allegations brought to him by FKA Twigs -- echoed similar remarks he shared in a recent interview, specifically regarding his reaction when news broke of the allegations. The \"Fury\" star said he \"wanted to hit Twitter and be like, 'Look, I got receipts,'\" revealed he contemplated suicide, and called the unnamed accuser as \"saint,\" who \"saved my f---ing life.\"\n\n\"Had she not intervened in my life and not created the avenue for me to experience ego death, I'd either have a really mediocre existence or I'd be dead in full,\" LaBeouf admitted.\n\nAlso during the conversation, LaBeouf owned up to \"cheat[ing] on every woman I've ever been with.\" He also admitted he didn't disclose to women he slept with that he got cold sores, describing his actions as \"manipulative.\"\n\nWhen Bernthal asked the \"Honey Boy\" star how he feels about Hollywood turning its back on him, LaBeouf said, \"I'm in the tribe of the f----ups. I'm a very public sinner, a very fallible person in the public sphere. What I think now my purpose is, is to not do… the other examples that we've had of how to navigate something like this -- which is to go after the woman, or try to win a court case, or get back into a f---ing movie or like get back on at all.\"\n\nHe continued, \"My purpose, and I mean this with every fiber of my being, is to be instructive with my life, so that I can be an advertisement, like a billboard, for a principled way of living.\"\n\nAgain speaking about going through \"ego death,\" which he referenced several times during the interview, LaBeouf likened his pursuit of redemption to that of Mel Gibson, who has been the subject of controversy over allegations of racism, homophobia, antisemitism and domestic violence, and Josh Brolin, who was charged with domestic battery in 2004.\n\nAs shown in a clip from the \"Real Ones\" podcast episode (above), LaBeouf also detailed how he ultimately sought help, and opened up about his treatment program, including a \"miraculous\" moment he experienced that appeared to have been a turning point.\n\n\"I sign onto this AA meeting. This is where I'm talking about, like, miraculous s--- started to pop off in my life,\" he told Bernthal. \"And my dude sent me there 'cause his mom was taking a chip for like 37 years. And the woman who took a chip right after his mother was the woman I lost my virginity to who, when I was 19 years old, I held a knife to her neck, and everything in that moment, it felt like I heard God's voice say, 'I'm everywhere. You can't run no more.' And like ... all my planning and like all this ... just went [away.]\n\n\"That really happened, you know?,\" he continued, appearing to get slightly emotional. \"And I remember it vividly and I wrote her in the chat box. Like, 'Did my dude tell you to come?' Like, 'Do you know this guy? And this guy?' And she's like, 'Nah, I'm in here 'cause my people are getting chips, you know? But it's good to see you. I knew you were on your way here. You know, I hope you get it this time.'\"\n\nThe \"Transformers\" star said he then went to Utah for treatment, where he stayed for three months and wasn't allowed to have a cell phone.\n\n\"And what that gave me was time to, like, really assess what had been my operating systems. What had been, like, the motivational force in my life, which was always me,\" LaBeouf said. \"It was always ego.\"\n\n\"I came out and just hit the ground running, trying to make amends, trying to right these wrongs,\" LaBeouf concluded. \"This is also still a part of that. There's some people who don't wanna talk to me, you know? And I understand that. And so my purpose now is to be patient.\""

"It completely snuck up on me — Shortsfest, that is.\nIn addition to being one of the myriad film fests that help make the Valley’s arts scene so vibrant, it represents a sort of anniversary for me: covering Shortsfest 2017 was my first “special to The Sopris Sun.” Since then, of course, my byline has been upgraded to “staff.”\nThe adage about time feeling like it’s moving faster as you age has been ringing especially true for me lately. Where has the time gone? Has it really been a year since I started contributing to The Sun? Yes, yes it has. And what a year it has been.\nIt turns out there is some science behind why we experience time more quickly when we’re older. One of the reasons for that phenomenon is because humans tend to catalogue time retroactively — and our brains tend to put much more emphasis on highlighting new experiences than the familiar. Time spent travelling feels much more pivotal because every day included something new and exciting! There’s even a name for it: the holiday paradox. Meanwhile, more mundane weeks heading between the office and home tend to blend together because there’s nothing in particular that stands out for our brains to file away in the memory bank.\nWhen we’re young, we’re constantly acquiring new skills, navigating new friendships and are generally brighter-eyed and bushier-tailed. As we age, we settle in. We nuzzle up to the familiar, (hopefully) more comfortable in our own selves. As such, we’re often taken aback to learn that it’s been a year already or even five.\nAt first, this depressed me. But there’s another way we perceive time: as it’s happening. Perhaps my year has seemed to move so quickly not because I’ve become complacent in my day-to-day routines but because of precisely the opposite. While new experiences seem to occupy a larger ratio of our memories, those moments move in rapid succession as they’re occurring — hence the saying, “The days are long, but the years are short.”\nWhen I take the rare moment to sit back and reflect on the year, I realize it’s been chock full of new experiences, each of them a blast. I started freelancing for The Sopris Sun. Then I became staff. Then we started our weekly radio show on KDNK: “Everything Under the Sun.” I’d never done radio before, and it is so much fun. Through it all, I’ve gotten to know so many of the wonderful people and organizations that make Carbondale, well, Carbondale. And I get the distinct honor of telling those stories — sometimes I have to pinch myself, I’m having so much fun with it all.\nAnd now, this week, I get to add another “first” to the list: the editorial staff will be taking our first trek as a team to the Colorado Press Association convention in Colorado Springs this week, April 12-15. The Sopris Sun has been nominated for a few awards, even, so stay tuned in that regard. Our website may very well become “award winning,” as could a few of the photographs published in our humble pages (shoutouts to Jane Bachrach and Mark Burrows on that front).\nNo matter what happens at the awards ceremony, though, I’m confident it’ll be over too soon. Because, it turns out, time flies when you’re having fun. The takeaway? Keep packing in memories that make life go by for the right reasons."

"An Honest Review of Puglia, Italy",

"Let’s get something out of the way – before this summer of 2019, I knew absolutely nothing about Puglia besides that it was in Italy and getting a lot of buzz.\n\nChristophe and I had 4 days available in between a June trip with friends to Sardinia and flying back to the East Coast for a wedding, and we really wanted to go somewhere we haven’t been. It didn’t seem like enough time to leave Italy, which is how I landed on Puglia. For the record – Puglia is not a secret; Italians and Europeans have been vacationing there (and Sardinia) for a long time. Us Americans were just a little slower to catch on. It’s in the southern “heel of the boot,” the opposite coast from Amalfi, which is why I think it’s taken longer to rise in popularity – it’s not near the “typical” summer spots.",

"We touched down at Bari airport, rented a car and drove into Puglia, and I have to admit I was a little let down by the initial landscape. You must know this: Puglia is not the Amalfi Coast, so don’t compare them. It’s not better or worse; it’s just different. One difference is your first impression. Memories of driving into Positano from Naples are seared into my mind, winding through those hilly roads and laying my eyes on the cliffside beauty of Amalfi – that initial view is just breathtaking. People literally pull over on the side of the road to get out of their cars and gape at it. You’re hard pressed to find anywhere else in the world that offers such a drastic initial view of ocean crashing against mountain, and colorful little buildings nestled between.\n\nPuglia’s welcome is slower and more subtle – if you flew into Bari (more on airports later) you’ll take a big freeway inland toward the coast, peppered with uneventful gas stations and supermarkets. When we neared Puglia, I noticed the landscape was mostly flat and green and I almost felt like we were driving through Napa Valley. There wasn’t much to see on the way to our hotel and it all looked very spread out. I also didn’t realize the best Puglia views are by the water seen in daylight, so driving in at 11pm left me wanting more. This was a foresight: Puglia’s beauty doesn’t hit you in the face, and it’s not centered in one place… you have to dig a little deeper to find it, but once you do, you’ll feel like you had an authentic Italian experience.",

"There are two different ways to do Puglia: luxury hotel or “Masseria,” Puglia’s version of a traditional farmhouse. They’re opposite trips – one is resort life, one is more simple living.\n\nWe chose the hotel route, partly because we wanted to luxuriate and partly because the Masseria I loved most was sold out. We were lucky enough to have the Chase credit card points (Christophe flies a lot for work and racked them up) to book Borgo Egnazia, which is the crown jewel property of Puglia if you’re looking for luxury. I can best describe it as an ALL-white oasis (literally, everything is white) that looks like a village of old ruins, but the 5-star version. It’s an architectural masterpiece that while massive – 45 acres of land – doesn’t feel too big because every detail was thoughtfully considered. Can’t lie, I originally heard of Borgo Egnazia because Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were married there 7 years ago, way ahead of the Puglia trend. I’ve also seen cheeky photos of Karlie Kloss playing ping pong with Richard Branson atop a Borgo villa. It’s clearly been a celebrity favorite for years, which was confirmed when we saw Kate Hudson and her kids hanging in the pool next to us, unbothered by other guests or staff. You get the feeling they’re used to VIP guests.\n\nBorgo has some of the best service I’ve ever experienced. There’s no check in desk – upon entering we were greeted by our personal concierge with welcome bubbles. She whisked us away to one of the zillion white couches and took our passports, then walked us up to our room and was available by WhatsApp 24/7 for recommendations, dinner and spa reservations. It’s so nice to only deal with ONE person at a hotel, who remembers your schedule – she checked in often to see if we needed anything.\n\nBorgo has the most delicious breakfast spread with made to order custom juices, an omelette bar with vegetables from their garden, fruits, cheeses, and an array of light fluffy cakes – it was heaven. The pools are gorgeous, the spa is beautifully designed, and Borgo also has it’s own private off-site beach club with a terrace restaurant and daybeds that’s a five minute bike ride from the main property. All in all, I can say that staying at Borgo Egnazia heavily influenced how much we loved Puglia.",

"Another luxe hotel I can recommend is Masseria Torre Maizza, a Rocco Forte property where a girlfriend of mine also stayed this summer. It has a similar aesthetic to Borgo Egnazia but on a bit of a smaller scale. The property looks so serene.\n\nBut the “real” way to visit Puglia is to stay at a traditional Masseria – essentially a farmhouse hotel. There are dozens of them ranging in price, but even higher ones on the spectrum are relatively affordable compared to resorts. Check out Masseria Moroseta (also their Instagram). A lovely follower of mine turned me onto it and it looks AMAZING, not to mention photographable! I would have 100% stayed here had it not been sold out all summer. It’s a boutique property with simple yet modern décor, two on-property French bulldogs and a chef to curate family-style dinners for your group. They also offer yoga retreats. If I come back to Puglia, I’d love to do our trip a different way and stay here. We actually drove by it hoping to be let in – but the Masseria had an on-site wedding that day.",

"Walk around Polignano a Mare. This is the famous oceanfront view Puglia is known for (AKA what comes up when you google search “Puglia”). Lay out on the rocky beach during the day and when afternoon hits grab at drink at Fly. The best view is arguably from the water looking inward though, which can be seen from Aquamarea Hotel.\n\nGo to Ostuni, a historical area of Pugia. Wear flats because it’s a steep uphill climb, passing an old church and little homes built on top of each other. With its white-washed buildings and narrow streets, Ostuni reminded me of Greece. Osteria del Tempo Perso is the best place to eat, although it’s without a view. It was packed to the brim and bustling, with checkered tablecloths and a simple interior. We also went to Porta Nova, which had big windows and beautiful sunset views but so-so food, confirmed to be a popular opinion after my Yelp search.\n\nSee Alberobello and it’s cone shaped “trulli” houses, which have a 14th Century history. Puglia is known for these funny looking little structures that were built without mortar to be able to quickly take down if government officials stormed the area – the residents were trying to evade taxes! This was the most touristy area we went to and I only lasted 30 minutes in the heat walking through it. The trullis are now little tchotchke shops and owners try to lure you inside and make a purchase, my travel pet peeve. Alberobello is overall worth seeing, also because the best pasta of our trip was found here at La Cantina, a hole in the wall family owned restaurant. It was also the cheapest meal, go figure.",

"Puglia weather is great from June through late September, so trip timing is flexible. I’m partial to June trips to avoid crowds and high prices.\n\nYou have two airport options, Bari (North of Puglia) and Brindisi (South). If you’re flying from the UK or through Heathrow as we did, Bari is the best choice, with more flight options and better prices.\n\nYou need to rent a car. Puglia is way more spread out than I imagined. It’s not the type of trip where you can walk to breakfast and get around town by foot. It was about 30 minutes by car from Borgo Egnazia to our day trips to Polignano a Mare, Ostuni and Alberobello, and about 30 minutes from Borgo to Masseria Moroseta, to give you an idea.\n\nThe famous “cave” restaurant might not be worth it – but decide for yourself. You’ve probably seen Grotta Palazzese on Pinterest, which is a hotel with a restaurant built into a centuries-old grotto. Our concierge recommended against it, saying it was known to Puglia residents as overpriced with disappointing service. We went anyway. The verdict: the view is absolutely stunning and a unique dinner experience, but she was right about everything else. They serve a pre-fix menu for 180 euro per person with zero flexibility (to give you perspective, the best pasta of our trip was 14 euro). If you’re in it for the ‘gram, it doesn’t disappoint, but definitely read Nicole Warne’s review first.\n\nNot everyone speaks English. Nice resorts and most fancier restaurants will have fluent English speakers, but little coffee shops and gas stations might not (goes to show my ignorance expecting everyone to speak my language, but compared to places like Capri, I was a little surprised).",

"Puglia surprised me – overall it was a fantastic experience, but our trip vibe was heavily dictated by staying at Borgo Egnazia. I think had we stayed at a Masseria, our experience would have been entirely different. Clearly there are a few different ways to do Puglia, on both ends of the spectrum from total luxury to simple living.\n\nI hear people compare Puglia to the Amalfi Coast in the same breath, but you simply can’t – it’s apples to oranges. If I had to pick one, I’d probably choose Amalfi, simply because the landscape itself is so stunning. If it’s your first time in Italy I might send you there to check it off the list. BUT Puglia has so much to offer, and it really feels like an authentic Italian experience. The number of tourists alone felt noticeably less (although I expect it to rise quickly). I also noticed the majority of tourists were not American around us, which was a nice change.\n\nI’d recommend Puglia for two good reasons. The first – if you’ve done the basics (Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany), you’ve enjoyed Amalfi Coast, you love Italian food and culture and are looking for something new. The second – if you are the type of person who doesn’t like following the herd and would rather skip the aforementioned places.\n\nPuglia had a beautiful simplicity and subtle beauty that felt new to me, even though I’d been to Italy many times. We had a funny interaction walking through a residential part of Polignano a Mare, passing homes with laundry drying from balconies and barefoot elderly nannas gossiping in their chairs out front as they watched passerbys stroll by. They looked us up and down, me in my sundress and tall wedges that I suddenly felt silly in. It was an odd juxtaposition between us as tourists and them as locals; you get the sense that their hometown hasn’t always been this traveled through. They pursed their lips in a half smile, a look of bemused acknowledgement or maybe mild annoyance, and now, this little memory is perhaps as ingrained in my head as that initial Amalfi Coast view.",

"Impress your friend or your imaginary girl friend.\n\nIn It for Ourselves\n\nI dropped off my grandson at school on a Thursday fall morning and headed back home, in my trusty, rusting Escort station wagon via I35E. About half-way home, I saw a fast-approaching orange hippomobile in my rear view mirror. The rider wasn't a small guy, either. Gear-wise, the rider was almost as naked as the day he was born; helmet-less and bald, glove-less, half-covered by a two-man tent-sized wind-whipped tee-shirt, loose butt-crack illuminating gangsta jeans, and low-top tennis shoes without socks. The rider was a one-man advertisement for the MSF's Basic Rider Course. Using his considerable weight to weave his 1,000 pound vehicle and flying along at 20mph over the posted speed in moderately heavy traffic, there was no way to avoid imagining how this dude's motorcycling career was going to end. His motorcycle motto was clearly, \"Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.\" His bike had a lot in common with streetcars, too.\n\nThere were three lessons to be learned while being passed by this experiment in high velocity meat distribution: 1) the physics of sound and 2) the errors in common assumptions and 3) far too many motorcyclists are among the most self-centered people on earth.\n\nObviously, the hippomobile was exhaust silencer-free. In fact, the exhaust noise was so obnoxious that I could hear him when he was nearly out of sight. However, that same deafening blubber was non-existent until the bike was close to parallel with my cage. My windows were rolled up, the radio was on but not loud, and I saw the doofus at least 1/4 mile before I heard him. I listen for a living and I was paying particular attention to this goofball because he looked like a crash-waiting-to-happen from the moment I saw him. As he dodged between the cars around him, clinging desperately to the bars, heaving his belly from side-to-side pretending to be a real motorcyclist, he was violating the peace and quiet of thousands of fellow highway users and every neighborhood within a 1/2 mile of the freeway. However, all that noise was totally useless as a heads-up for anyone he was about to pass. As a life-saving device, his loud pipes only advertised his exit, not his approach.\n\nI was at a friend's going-away party a couple of days earlier and when I was introduced as the author of this column, my new acquaintance said, \"You probably hate superbikes, right?\" After we talked for a while, he admitted to often \"testing\" his GSX-R 1100 on Dallas freeways at near top speed and to high speed lane-splitting in a state (like most) where any sort of lane-splitting is illegal. I suggested that a bike like his had no particular purpose in a 60mph world and that he might have more fun on a 250 or 500cc motorcycle on his daily commute. I suggested that, if he wanted to encourage lane-splitting in Texas, he might want to consider less ill-mannered tactics that the ones he'd been using.\n\nHe answered by telling me that it didn't matter. His bike had been dead in the garage for engine problems (one too many poorly engineered \"upgrades\" and the motor had fried). He said he was probably going to give up motorcycling when his first kid was born in a few months. With that change in the subject, I mentioned that my biggest complaint with his \"superbike\" and most of the hippobikes I bitch about is that they are useless toys, ridden aggressively and offensively until the owners either get hurt or quit riding before they get hurt. This leaves real motorcyclists with a bad reputation and a hostile voting majority looking to limit our access and rights. I don't hate the bikes, but I'm not fond of their stereotypical owners.\n\nI'm not too impressed with people whose riding skills and common sense is so limited that they have to give up motorcycling because of a mild change in responsibilities, either. If you suck too much to ride and parent, I doubt that you were ever good enough to be licensed to ride on public roads. I'd suspect your capacity as a parent, too.\n\nWhere I live, I have the pleasure of hearing all sorts of un-silenced motorcycles blasting a boring, straight section of eight-lane freeway. All of those folks impress me with how lame and clueless they are. There is a common assumption among hippobikers that motorcycling's bad reputation mainly comes from crotch-rocketeers blasting through traffic and terrorizing cagers. The fact is that tactic is pretty common among all of the folks who don't care how many people they irritate; superbikers, hippobikers, and douchebags in clubcab pickups and wannabe sports cars. I'm beginning to suspect that if one set of manners is deficient, that deficiency may apply to that person's conduct in general.\n\nSouth Park did a pretty decent job of describing what's actually being said after one of you noisemakers blasts past. (This is not a rare opinion. A friend, whose son is gay, seriously considered waving a \"Fags go home\" sign at the noisemakers who polluted her neighborhood at a recent rub-rub-rub rally in Hudson.) Loud pipes don't save lives, but they do something. Juvenile driving tactics don't save time, demonstrate your motorcycling skill, or impress the cage-driving peasants. Anti-social behavior just does one thing: it pisses people off. People who vote, write their government, complain to their local police, and write new laws limiting motorcycle access to public areas.\n\nFor most of my life, I've heard guys brag about how much attention they get on their loud, expensive toys. The only attention you're getting is negative. Nobody thinks you are cool, but a large number of people want you banned from public roads."

"NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame softball team officially achieved a preseason milestone never before seen in the illustrious 27-year history of the program on Tuesday. The Irish will begin a season ranked in both of Division I softball’s major polls for the first time after being slotted 21st in the 2015 ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25 Preseason Poll that was released by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA)/USA Softball.\n\nThe No. 21 ranking in the ESPN.com/USA Softball preseason top 25 marked the first time Notre Dame has ever been ranked in the initial poll during the 13-year history of the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate Top 25. Notre Dame was previously selected as the No. 22 team in the USA Today/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division I Preseason Top 25 on Jan. 20, its first time ranked in the preseason coaches poll since 2003.\n\nNotre Dame made its 16th consecutive appearance, and earned its 19th overall bid in 26 seasons of varsity competition, in the NCAA Championship in 2014, finishing the season with a 41-13 record after competing in the NCAA Los Angeles Regional. The Irish placed second in the ACC regular-season standings with a 16-5 league mark in their inaugural campaign in the conference, ultimately reaching the final game of the ACC Championship tournament in College Park, Md. Notre Dame also surpassed the 40-win plateau for the 16th time in its history, a watermark the Irish have attained in 10 of the last 13 seasons since Deanna Gumpf became the program’s head coach in 2002.\n\nWinter previously made Irish softball history by becoming the first Notre Dame player ever to be named USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week when she achieved that feat on April 23, 2013. It was the first of two national weekly honors the standout junior would claim that season, as she later earned Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I National Player of the Week accolades on May 7."

"Make the most of your time in Carlisle with a trip to one of the city’s four theatres. From intimate spaces to centuries-old stages, there’s something going on every weekend across Carlisle’s theatres.\n\nRunning since 1952, the 142-seat West Walls Theatre – run by the Carlisle Green Room Club – is one of the city’s best-loved theatres. They run and produce a lot of their shows, programming seven productions each year, as well as hosting outside productions and promoters. The theatre might only be small in stature, but with over 170 dedicated members, it has a lot of spirit, with most of the amateur shows rivalling professional theatre companies. The theatre also has a second room where they host club events and also their Theatre Downstairs productions, where they showcase a more relaxed, informal style of acting.\n\nProbably the busiest venue in the city, The Sands Centre hosts all manner of theatre shows, ballets and opera, comedians and touring orchestras. With over 750,000 guests each year, the centre is one of the biggest artistic hubs in the region and also produces several stand-out shows each year, including Carlisle City Fireshow, the Christmas Lights switch-on and the region’s biggest Christmas pantomime. With big West End shows like Flashdance, Blood Brothers, and family-friendly affairs such as War Horse, and Matilda The Musical, the Sands Centre is a great place to take the family and is less than a mile from our Carlisle Central hotel.\n\nThe latest addition to the city’s theatre scene, the Old Fire Station Arts Centre was an active fire station until it was converted in 2013 and is now a thriving art, theatre and music space. With an open-minded booking policy, the venue dedicates a lot of time to its burgeoning theatre work. Unlike other venues in town, it doesn’t have its own in-house production team, but it regularly houses touring shows, with events running most nights of the week.\n\nPart of the University of Cumbria, the Stanwix Theatre puts on around 80 different productions each year, including outside productions from the likes of the Limbik Theatre Company. Refurbished in 2015, the theatre can seat up to 200 and has an impressive track record with guest comedians, with Eddie Izzard, Ardal O’Hanlan and Al Murray all recent guests.",

"There are differences in opinion about the wisdom of governments picking winners or losers in an ostensibly free market. There are sound arguments on both sides.\n\nBut few would suggest that the government has no place in funding basic research.\n\nCheryl Martin, Deputy Director for Commercialization for the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E), spoke at a recent AlwaysOn event in San Francisco and noted that ARPA-E is about \"funding things that other people won't fund.\"\n\nAlong those lines, Energy Secretary Steven Chu just announced 66 cutting-edge research projects selected by ARPA-E to garner a total of $130 million in funding through its “OPEN 2012” program. These are potentially disruptive technologies that are too early for private-sector investment.\n\nWe're going to home in on a few of the grant winners over the coming weeks; look for a profile on Dr. Harry Atwater's approach to achieving greater than 50 percent solar efficiency at Caltech. But in the meantime, here's a list of the recipients reprinted from the ARPA-E document (click to enlarge):",

"17th February we went on a walk to Kopan Monastery.\n\nFrom our house, it looks like on the other side of a city. We asked the owner of our flat, how many kilometers were between us and the Monastery. He told us that only 2 kilometers, we were quite surprised, as you can imagine.\n\nIt so happened that the day we took a walk was festival. Lhosar, Tibetan New Year. The new year was the day before but the celebrations were after too. People wore fine clothes and some joined public parties where you pay for entrance and enjoy whole day, eating, dancing and celebrating. Some casts have they own way of celebrating. Like some of Gurung celebrate New Year by making games of archery. We sow one. They told us that it is their tradition. At this day, it happened so that, the Monastery also celebrated the happening. There was an initiation for long life.\n\nWe got ready around 10 o’clock. And while going there we didn’t know about the celebration or anything. We knew that there was New Year but we didn’t know about celebrations. While walking the ordinary road through the city, some groups of people in fine clothes passed next to us. Twice we saw a place where were celebrations. At one of them, we went to ask what was it. At first, we thought that this could be a marriage. But they told us that it was a celebration of Loshar.\n\nWe were walking all the way, once stopping for chay and some donuts. After, maybe, around 1 kilometer the road started to go upwards. Then we sow a monastery which happened to be a Kopan Nunery Monastery – Monastery for women. We got interested and went in. But it happened, that it was empty as it was Lhosar and everyone went to Kopan Monastery for the celebration. We met there only 2 girls (women) and they told us why it was so empty. So, we just went ahead. The view got better and better. On the right, we could see the city from up. We walked and walked until mum sow stairs. Small stairs on a side and she led us right there. We climbed next to some houses and finally, we got to Kopan Monastery, right in front of the entrance.\n\nWe went straight ahead and to a gate and there we saw many many people. Not that many. We wandered around for a little, then we went to the main building where the sound of puja started coming out. Many people sat in and some even outside. We had to seat outside and in just 2 minutes everyone started standing up and going inside to get a blessing and offer the money. We didn’t go inside. If we will get the blessing then only individual one. So we went to wear our shoes.\n\nWhile mum made pictures dad took sisters and went to the back of the Monastery. I had to wait for mum to show her the way they went and we found them together. While waiting for mum, 2 monk boys from Monastery sitting on a side with 2 big buckets of some blessing offered me to eat one. I asked them what is it and if should I eat it or maybe make tikka. But I just ate it and it was sweet. After I told mum about it and she tried it too and said that it was just flour with sugar. Later we discovered that it had some raisins and nuts in it too.\n\nWe found dad and girls in a clearing. There were mostly tourists, sitting, reading, writing or talking on a grass. There were 2 nice, reach decorated, stupas. We wandered around, made few videos and pictures and went to other stairs which led to another small clearing with a nice view. We could see whole Kathmandu from there. Then girls led us down by another way which was easy for them, small agile children but for us, big giants it was a slow way mixed with cables hanging from god knows where and pipes lying on the ground. While we got to the bottom we sow the same 2 boys walking with the same 2 buckets giving the ‘blessing’. We took it from them for around thousand times. Then we went again, this time empty, Monastery. My dad made few videos, I made pictures. We got offered with another ball of sticking ‘blessing’. Then we got into the direction of home. We were at the Monastery for 2 hours.\n\nWe put shoes on and went through the gate by the same road, home. On the way back I saw on a side, a group of people, on the playground. While we were going to Monastery I saw them too but nothing was happening. Now there were shoutings and clearly, something was happening. We went to see what. And it happened to be archery games. The people were standing in a big half circle and one man was shouting. On the other side, I’m not sure, maybe, 30 meters away was a piece of wood stuck to the ground. It was the aim. When the man shoots it, everyone applauded. It was great seeing such a game. When everybody shot, they went on the other side to shot this side and we had to run away from there.\n\nWhile walking we passed the same building where they were celebrating but this time there was music and we went in. We didn’t pay, just went in, made few videos, relaxed and went ahead to the second one. In the first one people were eating sitting and dancing in the circle. The second one was much bigger. There were a lot more people and there was a stage where a girl was dancing. There was not much to do, for us. So we continued going home and this time we stopped once more in a shop. To eat and drink.\n\nWe ate momo (dumplings with meat inside), buff, and mutton meat. Each, 80 Rs. My parents drunk rakshi, local alcohol. And we drunk coca. After we finished we really went home which was not far as it happened.\n\nThat was our walk to Kopan Monastery and celebrating f Lhosar. In a way, we celebrated I too but in our way.",

"Jerusalem, a city where Jews, Christians, and Muslims would live together in harmony for over a millennia under Muslim rule. It was actually the Christians who disrupted this peace via the Crusades and now the Jews have with the spread of Zionism within Israel as well as the apartheid and the current occupation and expulsion of millions of Palestinians from their own homeland.\n\nIndia, a place where Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists would live together for nearly a millennia under Muslim rule and the fact that India is still an overwhelmingly Hindu majority country is evident of the fact that they were not forced to convert and lived at their own discretion. As soon as the Muslims left, Hindu efforts immediately began and the persecution of Muslims and Sikhs are evident to this day. And this current Modi administration isn’t helping at all.\n\nSpain, Al-Andalus, an area, a center of civilization where Muslims, Jews, and Christians would live together in harmony. The universities and schools would produce numerous scholars of different faiths and traditions and it was customary for many Christian and Jewish scholars to come study in Al-Andalusia for a millennia. However the Christians brought fourth the Inquisition and wiped out any one who wouldn’t accept the Catholic Church. Today Spain is majority Catholic because of this widespread ethnic cleansing.\n\nWhy am I mentioning this? Because today, Muslims are being painted and attacked as being evil, barbaric, unjust, but after everything I’ve just mentioned it is unbecoming to smear a religion with a great record, which has provided such a foundational understanding to the world, and attack us when it’s overwhelmingly clear that we’ve done nothing to deserve these aforementioned atrocities from a historical perspective. And don’t get me started on all the modern atrocities against Muslims in today’s day and age.\n\nRather have some humility, before you go attacking a religion with a record by pointing the finger and realize that the actions of a certain people at a certain time do not represent the entire faith and it is hypocritical to forget your own past when it is clear you have not treated us with the same dignity and respect we treated you. Times have changed but to remain ignorant and not see the bigger picture is a disservice to yourself and others.\n\nAny movement whether it be religious or irreligious, is as human as the people who are a part of it are, which means its mistakes will be the mistakes of humans. It’s important to recognize that there are inherent problems associated with such sweeping generalizations, and this has unfortunately been the means of many great injustices and misfortunes.\n\nThat being said to quote one sentence from what I’ve mentioned and portray it as representative of my entire opinion is unjustified. Context is crucial, otherwise any message can easily be misunderstood. Feel free to differ.",

"For instance, when hearing a loud metallic sound outside at night and realising that the cat is to blame, you probably wouldn’t say to yourself, “The cat has knocked the dustbin over.” Instead, you might just say, “The cat,” since that utterance contains all the information you need to express to yourself.\n\nLate last year I took on a short tutoring role, and because I hadn’t done much teaching of this kind before, I was set upon by a comprehensive range of insecurities. These always swarmed in late at night and harvested all of the rational areas of my brain. What made these nights different from other times of worry, though, was that my internal monologue was very loud, and very languagey. By this I mean that usually the monologue, or inner voice, is an incoherent blur – more like wind singing between wires than a message travelling along those wires. I can’t pick out individual words. And a lot of the time, the inner voice has no sound quality at all. It’s more like a current, something pulling at you from below. This time, full, pointed sentences were coming at me. (I shouldn’t really be calling it an internal monologue, because it took the shape of a dialogue, an exchange between my different points of view.) ‘You don’t know anything about anything, fool.’ ‘I know, I know, but I thought I did.’ The most persistent one was this: ‘You’ve got no CHARISMA … charisma … charisma … charisma …’\n\nI knew I wasn’t going mad, but I also knew that this was becoming borderline. (Let’s pretend that there are tangible borders.) In this anxious state I would begin to imagine charisma as a measurable substance, something you could find traces of in a person’s bloodstream, or as a genetic quirk, like double-jointed elbows or hypermobility. I imagined I had cells missing. Also, in my head I started filtering through charismatic individuals I have known: like the Terminator, I would zoom in on each subject for a few seconds in order to evaluate their vital stats. And my inner voice would quickly dismiss some and affirm others as gods.\n\nI know this all sounds quite crazy. It is hard not to sound crazy when you are talking about the voice inside your head. I’ve been thinking about inner voice a lot at the moment because I’ve been reading Charles Fernyhough’s book A Thousand Days of Wonder (or The Baby in the Mirror) – ignore the cheesy covers – and his New Scientist article ‘Chatter box’, in which he talks about the theories of the Russian psychologist L. S. Vygotsky on inner voice. One of Vygotsky’s theories took shape when he observed children talking to themselves while playing (and I watched my four-year-old niece doing this too, talking to herself with two voices that sounded a lot like Gollum/Smeagol; this was actually quite frightening). Vygotsky proposed that this ‘private speech’ branches out of the dialogue that children have with their parents and caregivers and other kids – but over time, that private speech goes deeper, becomes internalised, to form an inner voice. The outward mutterings turn inwards. As they do so, they become abbreviated, condensed, fragmented. They may not even resemble language at all. Vygotsky likened this state – which is really, simply, thought – to a cloud. And the inner voice transitioning to actual uttered speech, he likened to ‘a cloud shedding a shower of words’.",
null,
"I like that idea a lot, because most of the time my inner voice has cloudlike properties. I suspect it’s similar for many people. It’s a nebulous, continuously-shifting blur of responses and emotions and ideas that aren’t ready to be put into words yet, but a few of them are beginning that slow surge towards language. I like what the novelist Carl Shuker said once, about how when he was getting ready to write a novel he built up a ‘head of steam’. I have this image of this seething steam cloud at the top of Carl’s neck.",

"Cloud of the Month for February (by the Cloud Appreciation Society)\n\nIt’s a shame that the word ‘cloud’ has been repurposed for that vast online network because it’s an excellent, if well-worn, metaphor for thought. If not a cloud, I think an inner voice is like the metallic ooze before the Terminator reconfigures into a body.\n\nIt strikes me that when my inner voice does have readily defineable words, has sentences, it’s nearly always negative and forceful, like someone shouting from a car window as they go by. One of my most terrifying experiences as a kid was thinking I could hear someone shouting inside my head, when I had a fever. I was sure that if you’d pressed your ear to my ear, you would’ve heard the shouting. My inner voice seemed to come from someone else and so it seemed alien. I’m over-simplifying, but it seems to me that negative thoughts find their way into language more easily than neutral or positive ones – that they know more words, are always first to put their hands up.\n\nOne thing I’d forgotten about London, which I remembered when I visited, is that a lot of people talk to themselves – on the street, in shops, in parks, in changing rooms. Their private mutterings have turned outward again. (It’s true that in a few cases, people who I’d thought were talking to themselves weren’t talking to themselves at all; they were talking on hands-free devices – which was interesting in itself, because it reminded me of Vygotsky’s theory that our inner speech develops out of dialogue with others.) I wonder how the filter between inner voice and outer voice wears away or breaks, and whether living in a huge city affects your ability to hear your inner voice and to discern what needs to be spoken aloud. And in fact, on a few occasions, walking around the city for hours, getting tired, I noticed I was starting to murmur very quietly to myself, usually when looking at my phone or trying to decipher a map. ‘Ohhh, what’s this, wait, idiot – hang on, ah dammit – maybe I’ll just go over here …’ It was a fragmented babble that seemed to help calm me and guide me.\n\nThis reminded me of Andrew Irving’s project New York Stories: The Lives of Other Citizens, in which he recorded the ‘inner dialogues’ of people in New York City in 2011. He would go up to strangers and ask, ‘This might sound like a strange question, but can I ask you what you were thinking before I stopped you?’ Some people shook their heads and kept walking, but if they didn’t (about 100 people altogether), he would ask them to put on a microphone headset attached to a digital recorder, then to say what they were thinking as he followed along behind with a camera. He couldn’t hear what they were saying, and they were free to walk wherever they liked. Even though the clips themselves are actually kind of dull, what I like about this project it that it tries to capture an individual person’s ‘cloud’ and make it a part of the city, just for one moment in time. And it also creates a portrait of one individual’s consciousness as it unfolds in a particular place and time. Like Mrs Dalloway roaming about in London, her ‘ordinary mind on an ordinary day’.\n\nLife is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.\n\nI guess the other thing that fascinates me about this project is that anybody who does talk to themselves out loud, continuously, in the street, is usually considered crazy or drunk or stoned by passersby – someone to be ignored, someone who’s gone wrong. The New York Stories project reframes that and asks the viewer to listen to the person talking to themselves. It asks the viewer to see an artwork. I find this kind of uncomfortable for reasons I can’t quite explain yet.\n\nAnother ‘inner dialogue’ project I came across recently: I did a lot of running in London, and a friend mentioned this short film called The Runners, by Matan Rochlitz and Ivo Gormley, in which the two directors rode a bicycle and trailer around London parks asking runners questions about their lives. The idea was that, distracted by running, perhaps people would open up to difficult questions (‘Are you in love? Who do you care about most? What do you want to do with your life?’). And they do.\n\nIn the spirit of creating more of a luminous halo of a blog post here than a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged, once I had a portrait of one of my guardian angels drawn. That’s right. This happened at something called the Health and Wellbeing Expo (or something along those lines) in my town, which was held in the Civic Centre, and I went along because I wanted to get my aura photographed, which was clearly the more spectacular option, but it was ten dollars, and I only had five. You could get your guardian angel drawn for five dollars. The woman who drew the guardian angels was sitting at the wooden desk with a sketchpad and some coloured pencils, next to the stage. A few months later I would sit in that same spot in a small orchestra playing flute for a town production of The Sound of Music.\n\nThe woman told me that I had not one but five guardian angels. However, the deal was that she would draw only one. ‘Her name’s Emily,’ she told me as she began to draw the angel’s head and shoulders. Emily took shape rapidly. I can still see the picture clearly in my head. She had a prim, unsmiling, square-ish face, with heavy brows, and brown, centre-parted hair swept up into a bun. She wore a brooch at the top of her frilled collar. I remember feeling disappointed that she looked so stern and plain. I watched as the woman turned over the piece of paper and wrote a message from Emily to me. It said: ‘In both name and nature, you are Grace.’ This was also disappointing, as clearly my name wasn’t Grace. I asked the woman about the other four angels – what did they do? One was a dancer (apparently she was dancing around the whole time the woman was drawing Emily’s picture), and one was a quiet man who wore a black top hat and seemed to serve no function. There was also a jester – an actual court fool, juggling and clowning, which only now strikes me as pretty funny. I don’t remember who the last one was. But the crucial thing was that they all talked a lot, at me but mostly to each other. When you are thinking something to yourself or lying awake at night thinking, the woman told me, you are actually hearing your guardian angels. I liked this idea that my inner voice came from somewhere apart from me. And in a tenuous sort of way, if Vygotsky was right, it did: ‘Through others we become ourselves.’ That voice grew out of all the earliest dialogues, grew out of the voices of parents and grandparents and neighbours and other weird kids.\n\n7 Responses to An ordinary mind on an ordinary day"

"8\nTechnically, training camp started this week for the Cowboys. Although there is no work taking place on the field, players are reporting and participating in coronavirus testing at The Star in Frisco. The hope is that the pads can eventually be put on in a few weeks.\n\nTo get you ready for when they do, here are the 10 biggest Cowboys storylines entering training camp.\n\n1.) Limited work. How will the Cowboys look after not having a normal offseason? Usually teams with new head coaches get extra time on the practice field in the offseason. However, because of COVID-19, no NFL team was able to hold a typical rookie minicamp, minicamp or organized team activities. By this time, the Cowboys would usually be well into their padded training camp practices in Oxnard, Calif. But this year, training camp is being held at the team’s headquarters in Frisco, Texas, and they won’t hit the field in pads for at least a few more weeks as players have to pass three coronavirus tests before they are allowed to enter the facility. Once the practices start, how much will they have to be altered in an attempt to keep players healthy? No preseason games means more practice time before their first game, Sept. 13 at the Los Angeles Rams. Could the altered schedule and no preseason lead to more soft-tissue injuries once the season starts? How much can an offensive and defensive system change under a new coaching staff via virtual meetings and limited time on the field?\n\n2.) Dak Prescott. For the second consecutive year, Prescott will be playing without a contract for the following season. The Cowboys quarterback was in the final year of his rookie deal last year."

"When the chief executive of General Motors came to Washington earlier this month, she huddled with a handful of her best allies in Congress: the Michigan delegation.\n\nThat state’s senior senator, Debbie Stabenow (D), says Mary Barra asked her to bring together members from both parties in part to stress the company’s commitment to building electric cars. In 2019 alone, the company said it will add 400 jobs to its Orion, Mich., plant to build a new electric Chevrolet and previewed its first electric Cadillac.\n\nBut to sell these cars — and keep these jobs — Barra wanted their help.\n\nGM, like a fleet of other car manufacturers, is seeking the extension of a tax break that has for a decade helped sustain the sale of cars that need little to no gasoline to run.\n\nThis has triggered an intense lobbying battle with oil and natural gas companies, which supply the fuel that runs the internal-combustion engines that dominate American roadways.\n\nIt’s not just about the money: Electric vehicle sales could also help determine whether the United States can curtail the buildup of climate-warming gases from tailpipes and the rest of the transportation sector, which recently surpassed power plants as the country’s top source of carbon dioxide emissions.\n\nOil and gas companies, said electric car proponent Rep. Daniel Kildee (D-Mich.), “prefer a world where every vehicle spews greenhouse gases, and this is not the world that I’m trying to encourage.”\n\nKildee, along with Stabenow, sponsored legislation to expand the quota of tax credits so companies would be able to sell three times as many electric vehicles before the tax credits, originally offered as a lifeline after the 2008 financial crisis, start to run out.\n\nBut oil and gas interests say extending the tax credit would be unfair to middle- and lower-class consumers who are unable to afford electric cars. And they’re making inroads with their own Republican allies.\n\n“Regardless of whether you support the tax credit for electric vehicles or not, there is no denying taxpayers are overwhelmingly subsidizing Americans that can afford to buy their own car,” said Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee who has proposed legislation to wipe out the tax credit. “If you want an electric car you can buy one — there are more available now than ever before.”\n\nHere’s how the program now works: The federal government provides a tax credit of $7,500 to buyers for the first 200,000 electric vehicles sold by each company. After a manufacturer sells that first tranche, the tax credit drops by half for cars sold over the next six months — then by half again for another six months before disappearing entirely.\n\nElectric-vehicle advocates are petitioning Congress to allow consumers to earn a tax credit of at least $7,000 for 600,000 vehicles from a single carmaker before the credits start to phase out. Though more than 1 million electric vehicles are on the road in the United States, that represents a tiny sliver of the more than 270 million registered cars.\n\nTwo major auto companies, Tesla and GM, have already crashed into the 200,000-car threshold. Two more, Nissan and Toyota, probably will run into the same problem by 2021.\n\nTesla’s tax credit could be trimmed to $1,875 per vehicle as early as next month. And the company said in its recent annual report that the credits will expire altogether by the end of the year. That, it said, “could have some negative impact on demand for our vehicles, and we and our customers may have to adjust to them.\n\nStabenow and Kildee crafted their bill for months in consultation with major automakers. Three of them — Tesla, GM and Nissan — helped form the EV Drive Coalition late last year to press for passage of an extension.\n\nNot only does the legislation have the backing of the powerful Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which represents a dozen automakers including GM, it also has the support of several major environmental and public health groups. They include the Sierra Club and the American Lung Association, as well as the Edison Electric Institute, which represents the investor-owned electric utilities that would help power the plug-in cars.\n\nIt also, crucially, has the support of two Senate Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.\n\nYet opponents, in their own blitz of studies, op-eds and meetings with lawmakers, are emphasizing what they see as the economic downsides of the tax credit.\n\nDerrick Morgan, senior vice president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, said he has “met with dozens and dozens” of lawmakers to highlight the high cost of the tax break. The trade association, which represents refiners, worked with Ernst & Young to calculate that lawmakers’ plan to extend the tax break bill could cost the federal government $15.7 billion over 10 years. By comparison, the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the government will spend $7.5 billion on the current credit between fiscal years 2018 and 2022.\n\n“We have nothing against electric vehicles,” Morgan said. “Our thing is that we would like to have an even playing field.”\n\nSimilarly, the lobbying arm of the Institute for Energy Research, which is supported by the oil industry and the Charles Koch-backed group Freedom Partners, delivered in December copies of another study to congressional offices suggesting that eliminating the quota on the tax credit would cost U.S. households $95 billion by 2035. That study was commissioned by Flint Hills Resources, a refining subsidiary of Koch Industries.\n\nLeading the charge is the president of the Institute for Energy Research, Thomas J. Pyle, a former Koch Industries lobbyist who organized a coalition of groups opposed to the tax credit and sent a letter to members of Congress explaining their position.\n\n“It was never meant to be a permanent tax incentive giving a permanent advantage over other forms of technology,” Pyle said of the credit.\n\nPyle and other opponents, including the American Petroleum Institute, also note that the credit benefits individuals wealthy enough to buy electric vehicles, which tend to be expensive.\n\nThey cite a study by the right-wing Pacific Research Institute that found that 79 percent of the tax credits were claimed by households with an adjusted gross income of more than $100,000.\n\nThis could resonate in swing states. “You’re basically asking Iowa voters to subsidize wealthy Californians,” said Pyle, who along with other tax credit opponents plans to zero in on members of Congress who represent those too poor to buy electric vehicles.\n\nBuyers of new cars, regardless of whether they are electric, tend to be high earners. But the Pacific study is consistent with one done in 2015 by the Haas School of Business at the University of California at Berkeley, which said that the top income quintile of taxpayers received about 90 percent of all the credits.\n\nNot all research swirling around the lobbying ecosystem is as solid, though: The Institute for Energy Research also published surveys that suggests voters don’t support electric-car subsidies. But outside polling experts such as Michael Traugott, a professor and polling expert at the University of Michigan, say that polling appears biased. It focuses on mostly Southern and Midwestern states and “frames the whole interview in terms of trust in the federal government.”\n\nProponents of the credit argue that the oil industry has received similarly sized tax breaks. “I find it ironic when the industry that has had the longest-running tax credits in the code somehow objects,” Stabenow said.\n\nRight now, she is trying to figure out how to get the tax credit extension into a must-pass piece of legislation — possibly one introduced earlier this year by Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and Sen. Ron Wyden (Ore.), the ranking Democrat on the committee, that extended a variety of tax provisions.\n\nStabenow, who sits on that committee’s task force for examining energy tax credits, wants to persuade him to include the EV credits. His spokesman would not comment on the credits.\n\nAll tax legislation, however, must originate in the House. The fact that a majority of Democrats on the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee has sponsored Kildee’s electric-vehicle bill bodes well for the measure.\n\nBut opposition is coalescing. No House Republican has yet endorsed the bill, despite outreach from its sponsors. The tea party group FreedomWorks is circulating a draft letter from Rep. Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.) that opposes the extension and amplifies the polling and studies done by the right-wing institutes.\n\nAnd maybe the biggest obstacle: The White House’s Office of Management and Budget, run by fiscal hawk Mick Mulvaney, called in March for ending the tax credit altogether"

"Process mining first appeared in the field of software engineering. It is proposed by Jonathan from New Mexico State University in 1995 [1]. Then, Agrawal started to apply process mining to process management in 1998 [2]. He used directed graphs to represent the association between different activities in business processes. Instead of using directed graph, Aalst used the workflow net, which is a subclass of Petri nets to represent process models. Based on the work, some scholars extended process mining algorithm to handle business logic, including sequence, parallel and circular relationship [3]. Compared with other process mining algorithms, genetic mining proposed by de Medeiros et al. is a global search algorithm, dealing with noise effectively [4].\n\nAt present, most of process mining methods are based on process activities. They neglect the fact that the process depends on the collaboration between multiple roles. Though some scholars come to extract knowledge from the role perspective, their studies on the relationship between process roles are not complete and merely confined to discuss the interaction among organizational entities [7, 8]. Actually, the relationship between them is very complicated, so it is hard to uncover hidden information and the role complexity of business processes is ignored.\n\n2. The Role Complexity of Process Models\n\nThe previous studies focus on control flow that is composed of activities and their relationships. For example, Cardoso discussed the complexity metric of control flow through experiments [9]. In addition, Vanderfeesten et al. proposed cohesion and coupling metrics for process design [10]. However, a process is the integration of participants (roles), resources, objectives, information and business rules, and so on. Control flow is just one of the factors affecting process complexity. More researchers begin to analyze business processes from different aspects.\n\n(1) The role activity cohesion is to assess the interaction between roles in terms of control flow. The shorter the interval is, the higher the role activity cohesion is. Herein, the interval between two activities is defined as the number of activities between them. For example, there are activities between the activities and . Then, we can define the distance between them as . Actually, there may be several execution sequences containing and . Say that there are execution sequences which contain and , we can define the distance between and as\n\n(2) The role data cohesion measures the cohesion between roles in terms of data. It analyzes the frequency of using different data.\n\nAs a whole, the role cohesion metric is computed as follow:\n\nThe role coupling metric of is defined as where connected represents the coupling weight between and , Arc stands for the set of arcs in the process model, and is the number of elements in Arc. The larger is, the higher the role activity coupling of is.\n\nIn 2005, Aalst first introduced genetic algorithm to process mining (genetic mining). In genetic mining, an individual is a candidate process model and the fitness function evaluates how well it is able to represent the actual process [6].\n\nThe fitness function is used to evaluate the adaptation of every individual and guide searching process of genetic programming. In order to mine the simplified business process model, we introduce the complex fitness into the fitness function.\n\nThe basic idea of genetic mining is as follows. First, event logs are collected and activities by each participant are analyzed. Then, initial population is created. After that, the fitness of every individual in the population is computed according to the fitness function (14). If the fitness does not satisfy the termination condition, the population needs iterative evolution through the genetic operations including selection, crossover, and mutation. Each genetic operation transfers the individual, which has higher fitness value in the population to the next generation. This loop terminates until the optimal solution is found. In Section 4, we resort to a case study to discuss the procedure of genetic mining in detail.\n\nThe precision value and the role complexity of represented in the matrix are as follows:\n\nThe maximum role complexity value in this generation is 393.74, and the minimum one is 25.54. So, the complex fitness value of is\n\nThe mutation operation is that one bit of the chromosome changes at random, from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0. Its probability of occurrence is and is defined as where and are constants and we assume that they are 0.09 and 0.01 separately.\n\nAs mentioned above, we can get the role situation matrix through role-oriented genetic mining below:",

"and are taken as one role [11]. The role complexity of that role is 7.82. Clearly, the role complexity of that role is far greater than the sum of the role complexity of and in Figure 1. The reason is that the technical staff is mainly responsible for designing samples and inspection, as well as raw material application and confirmation. These two kinds of activities are different and require different data and abilities, which leads to low role activity cohesion, role data cohesion, and role ability cohesion. This brings about the high role complexity ultimately. By means of our method, the work of technical staff is split, which ensures that the process model is correct and has low role complexity at the same time. The result shows that our method performs better in discovering simplified role-based process models. In fact, the roles have high cohesion and low coupling.\n\nThe role mining algorithms proposed in [12, 13] got role hierarchy through the combination of permissions based on participants and their permissions. Their algorithm identified roles based on permissions, ignorant of the difference between the activities of participants. Phalp and Shepperd measured the role’s complexity through surveying internal activities and interactions between roles [14]. They didnot give full considerations of cohesion and coupling between roles. In addition, [15] considered the complexity of the application of resources. But it ignored the internal cohesion of roles. In comparison, our method treats the similarity between activities by different participants as the basis for identifying roles and it is based on genetic mining. So, it deals with noise more effectively in workflow logs. Additionally, it measures the complexity of roles through cohesion and coupling in terms of activities and resources. Therefore, the role complexity makes the process model correct and simple.\n\nIn order to analyze the performance of the algorithm we proposed, we select some event logs produced by 8 workflow models shown partly in Table 1 to perform some experiments.",

"In Figure 5, we can see that the fitness value of process models mined by our method is relatively close. That means, though our method considers role complexity, it has little adverse effect on the fitness.",
null,
"In this paper, we combine genetic programming with the role complexity and propose the role-oriented process mining approach. The advantage of our method is that it can mine process models not only correctly, but also simply. In the future, we will consider the relationship between process roles more comprehensively and reduce the role complexity further. Besides, we can improve the efficiency of model mining through improved genetic algorithm.\n\nThis research is supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China (no. 71071038).

"Over the summer, I wrote a 7-part series about my summer 2011 tour of Maryland brewpubs. In that same spirit, I offer my Winter 2011-12 DC Brewpub Tour, another multi-part series featuring even more local places to get great beer. I hope these posts encourage you to support the awesome DC-area brewing community and visit more of our local breweries and brewpubs.\n\nOccasion: Ben’s birthday party. My son celebrated his 10th birthday with friends at Shadowland, an indoor laser tag arena in Gaithersburg. After the party, we drove across town to Growlers for a late lunch and growler fill.\n\nGrowlers has always been one of our favorite stops in the local beer scene, dating back to the days when it was Old Town Tavern and Summit Station. We’ve been coming to the old brick building beside the train tracks in Old Town Gaithersburg for many years. But on our last visit, we were a bit underwhelmed by the beers being poured. I heard that there were new brewers on the job and was encouraged to return to see what was on the beer menu.\n\nI’m so glad I did! The beer menu was all new since my last visit during my summer 2011 tour of Maryland brewpubs. There were 6 house beers on tap along with 2 guest taps. I ordered a sampler rack so I could decide which brew was worthy of a growler fill.\n\nBest Beer: PB & J Ale. This brew had complex flavors, but was an easy drinker. The flavors worked really well together, just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The brew started with a bready, nutty flavor and then finished with sweet blackberries. We brought home a growler of this unique beer.\n\nI was most impressed with: The creative big beer menu. Four of the six house brews were stronger than 7.0%, including the Tripel, Strong Ale, IPA, and Barleywine. And I loved the creativity of the PB & J Ale.",

"What to Do When Something Is “Pretty Much Dead”",
null,
"Earlier this week, during an email correspondence with my good friend and fellow author Bonnie Latino, I asked about the status of her first book, which had done quite well since its release several months ago.\n\nAmid other subjects, she addressed that question by replying, “Unfortunately, my book is pretty much dead.”\n\nI got your email the other day about the death of your book. I have been grieving ever since.\n\nThen, this morning, I got out of bed after a long night of crying and asking God why…why, in His infinite wisdom and with all the power at His fingertips…why would He let your book die? I was yelling and pulling my hair. I think I was actually gnashing my teeth there for a while. Anyway, at the very moment I was looking for my sackcloth and ashes, God’s voice boomed throughout the room.\n\n“Are you finished?” He asked. “After all the times I have shown up for you and Bonnie, after all the things I’ve done…this is a little much, don’t you think?”\n\nI was stunned, as you might imagine. For some reason, God has never spoken to me very clearly when I was whining. But holy cow (Is that sacrilegious?), this time He was talking out loud!\n\nYou know, I said that just to lighten Him up a bit, but sheesh…He seemed very serious. Holy mackerel (there I go again), the Big Guy didn’t think it was a bit funny.\n\nHe said, “You tell our friend Bonnie that her book is not dead unless she is. And tell her that if she will put a smile on her face and get back to work, I can make some pretty amazing things happen with her book even after she IS dead. Tell her I said to trust Me on that and I promise a good seat up here to watch all the action every quarter when her heirs get a royalty check.”\n\nThen, Bonnie, as God is my witness (and He actually was) He just left. I immediately washed my hands and vacuumed the floor. (I had dropped my ashes when He spoke that first time. Between you and me, it is actually terrifying to hear that big voice. Not that He is terrifying…it’s just that the voice startled me and He never said “fear not” or “don’t be afraid” like the angels always seem to do when they appear. I’m telling you, He just popped right in and started talking!)\n\nSo…I think His point was…\n\nAre YOU alive? Of course you are. Yes, you are!\n\nDid God put that book in your heart? Yes, He did. Now, unfortunately, God is under no obligation to tell us what He is doing. However, God did not teach you to swim just to let you drown!\n\nWas my first New York Times bestseller,The Traveler’s Gift, “pretty much dead” when 51 publishers turned it down?\n\nWas The Traveler’s Gift “pretty much dead” when it got a horrible review from Publisher’s Weekly?\n\nWas The Traveler’s Gift “pretty much dead” when, after three weeks in the bookstores, they returned all the books to the publisher?\n\nWas The Traveler’s Gift “pretty much dead” when the publisher began sending them to outlet stores?\n\nAfter all that, was my career as a writer “pretty much dead”?\n\nOf course the answer to all these questions is NO.\n\nGod told me, “Do what you CAN do. I will handle the rest.” He said, “For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!”\n\nA postscript to this little story is what we did after this all occurred. Not being stupid, I continued to obey God’s original instruction to me. I kept giving the books away. In fact, I increased my rate of “giving.” To date, my accountant says that I have now given away more than 15,000 copies of The Traveler’s Gift… God also continues to bless these efforts. After 10 years,The Traveler’s Gift is still in hardback, in almost 30 languages, and is used by corporations, schools, churches, prisons, and teams. The current Super Bowl Champions bought six cases of The Traveler’s Gift before their Championship season. The book has been called the Business Book of the Century. Yes, I know that it has been a very short century, but these are “okay” results (don’t ya think?) for a book that was deemed “pretty much dead.”\n\nObviously, it wasn’t dead and neither is Your Gift To Me by Bonnie Bartel Latino.\n\nAnd get back to work!\n\nBonnie’s book is alive and well and can be found at Amazon (click here) for a very special price! I highly recommend it.\n\nErasing Dr. Seuss (you can call it A Bedtime Story for Today) honors what is quickly becoming the memory of the beloved children’s author in a unique way.This morning a rumbling woke me up.I looked to see what I could find.I searched the closet and under the bed,But the rumbling grumble was mine.It was true that I knew, I was somewhat depressed.Therefore, I whined to my wife,“I feel very sad and...\nRead More"

"Of course, this style of dress is something most men should steer far and clear from for various reasons, though a few get lost in the latest styles and don’t realize how tragic they look. To help you avoid that stigma we have put together 4 hipster styles men should never wear to give you an idea of the fashion mistakes prevalent in the “hipster movement”.\n\nThis little hipster style is all the rage and you can find men all over the country doing this from celebrities like Justin Timberlake and NBA players like Lebron James to the everyday man. Oftentimes they’re big, bulky and a bit geeky. They’re supposed to make you look “geek chic”, but really just end up making you look like an idiot wearing glasses when he doesn’t need to. So, the next time you thing about trying out this hipster trend… don’t.\n\nSeen on such celebrities as Jason Lee, this hipster-esque style is all about the effortlessly cool ‘staches of rock legends of the 60’s & 70’s like David Crosby and Frank Zappa. While for them it looks good on them, they’re rock legends after all, it doesn’t look all that great on guys like you and me. If you want a mustache go for it, but don’t try to grow one just because it “in fashion” because of hipsters.\n\nThis hipster style is just a plain “NO” for about 99% of men because really who can successfully pull this look off? Not even actor Russell Brand can make this look good. The look is all about tight, formfitting jeans that conform to the legs and show off a man’s package whether he really wants to show it off or not. They are rarely forgiving, so for those guys who have a little extra padding this hipster trend is especially a “NO!”\n\nActor Johnny Depp is especially known for this hipster style that gives off the appearance of being “too cool” to care. Sure women all over the world love him, but for the average guy this look is liable to get you a few disgusted looks from women or a few not so subtle hints to take a shower. A good middle ground is going for long hair that is clean, but casually styled. Women love long hair, but you have to find a middle ground away from the “hipster” way of doing things"

"According to the latest news published on Research Professional, Members of European Parliament (MEPs) have formally signed off on the EU’s 2021-27 R&D and space programmes, as well as the post-Brexit EU-UK trade and cooperation agreement through which the UK will associate to the R&D programme, Horizon Europe.\n\nHorizon Europe and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, which draws funding from the R&D programme to support innovation but has separate legislation, were both approved by enormous majorities in European Parliament votes on 27 April.\n\nHorizon Europe will have a budget of €95.5 billion, of which the EIT will get about €3bn. The legislation for both programmes was designed so they could start working from 1 January, although their formal sign-off will pave the way for grants to start being awarded.",

"The Parliament also voted by 660 votes to five in favour of the trade and cooperation agreement that defines the terms for the future EU-UK relationship. It was agreed by negotiators in December and had already provisionally entered into force.\n\nOnly the formality of a further behind-the-scenes sign-off is now needed to complete UK association to Horizon Europe, which will grant the country near-full participation rights in exchange for full provision of the funding for any grants won, as well as an administration fee."

"Simon Cozens Posts: 620\nJuly 2020 edited July 2020 in Font Technology\nI've found some interesting differences in the way cursive positioning is handled in the above shapers. Attached are two simple test fonts, with six glyphs - space, uni0628, uniFE91, uni06D2, uniFBAF and nukta. The isolated forms for glyphs uni0628 and uni06D2 are a cross situated on the baseline (Y=0). The nukta mark is situated below the baseline at around Y=-80. The feature code for the two fonts is as follows:\n\nAdditionally the \"rtl\" font has \"lookupflag IgnoreMarks RightToLeft\" in the curs feature. Notice that the nukta mark has no anchors. Here's how the character string \"628,6d2,20,6d2\" is drawn in each font and shaper:",
null,
"I don't have access to a Windows box, but my experiments with WINE and Uniscribe suggest that Uniscribe agrees with Harfbuzz in both cases.\n\nAnalysis: in the RightToLeft case, I think Harfbuzz is obviously correct and CoreText is obviously wrong. The cursive attachment rule tells it to IgnoreMarks, but CoreText does not ignore them, and raises the mark up above the baseline. (But then I would say that, because Harfbuzz is giving me the answer I like.) In the normal case, I don't know what is going on.\n\nIs there a CoreText bug here, and if so, how do I best report it?\nTestUnattachedMarks.zip 2.9K\n0"
