"The Legend of Zelda is one of my personal favorite video game series. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid, so each new Zelda announcement always gets me excited. What’s even more interesting about the new Zelda in development for Wii U is how the series is changing. Producer Eiji Aonuma stated that this new Zelda would challenge some of the series conventions, including the addition of an open-world. For a longtime fan, some of that can sound scary, but personally I’m really excited about it. I can’t wait to see more and hopefully play the game pretty soon. The Legend of Zelda for Wii U is planned for launch sometime this year.\n\nGlittering Crux: “The Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite franchises, with Wind Waker being my favorite entry in particular. And though Toon Link is my favorite rendition of the Hero of Time, I won’t deny that he is very polarizing. With that in mind, Zelda Wii U seems like a perfect compromise between both parties by starring a more proportional, young-adult Link in beautiful cell-shaded environments that remind me of Wind Waker. It’s been a long time since the first trailer was revealed in 2014, and I cannot wait for the chance to once again visit one of The Legend of Zelda‘s beautiful worlds, with the promise of being more open than ever before.”"

"Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau is currently taking an extended break from his comic strip nobody under 40 reads in order to concentrate on his Amazon show nobody watches. This has forced many newspapers to re-run old, outdated strips from the Watergate era in lieu of new content. Luckily, it doesn't have to be this way!\n\nTruesbury updates Doonesbury for today's political environment in the most literal, ham-fisted way possible: It takes old strips and replaces the names of Republican presidents with \"Obama.\" Sometimes it doesn't even have to do that! It's extraordinarily lazy, even by webcomic standards. It's like a Dilbert strip proudly displayed on the break-room fridge with a picture of your boss taped over Dilbert's boss!",
null,
"Truesbury turns this stale Reagan-era 'president goes on vacation too much' punchline into an uproariously funny joke that's relevant for the reader of today by making Obama the target and also using 'how black people talk' phrases from 1997.\n\nThe strip is the broken brainchild of conservative comedian Roy M. Griffis. Under his watchful eye, Republicans can now safely enjoy Doonesbury without having to momentarily put their politics aside. You see, most of today's political cartoonists are extremely dishonest, only showing you one side of the issues like they're explicitly paid to do. They've completely dropped the ball in covering Obama's tyranny, leaving Mallard Fillmore to do the heavy lifting, and his scrawny little wings are next to useless.\n\nSo it's up to Griffis to use The Left's own tools (in this case, political cartoons) against them! Hot-button issues include border security (?), the long-debunked IRS conspiracy, and a scandal called \"Omnigate\" that must be really bad because there's a bunch of rich liberals involved.\n\nYou've got to hand it to Griffis: He definitely knows his audience. Already, he's received high praise from big-time conservative bloggers:\n\nCalling Truesbury \"parody\" is a bit of a stretch, given that most of them make the exact same point as the original strips they're ostensibly parodying. Here's a Truesbury from July, and here's the original Doonesbury from 2005. Bam! Take that, Trudeau! Truly devastating.\n\n\"you might want to look up the definition of \"parody\" and then meditate upon this: if the strip was funny/true in its original, Republican-bashing phase, why is it not equally funny and true when aimed accurately at a Democrat?\"\n\nPerhaps the suggestion that Republicans and Democrats are so indistinguishable that the same unaltered joke could skewer both does qualify as a form of \"parody.\" Thanks for pointing out the folly of partisanship, guy who signs his strips \"Right Wing Riot\"!"

"BACK TO ALL NEWS\nCurrently reading: McLaren P1: still as earth-shattering five years on?\nUP NEXT\nNew BMW XM is M-only, 740bhp hybrid SUV\n\nHalf a decade after McLaren's Ultimate Series hybrid ripped up the Autocar road test record book, we reappraises the impact of the electrified hypercar\nOpen gallery\nClose\nShare story\n\nNow, if like Dan Prosser and his wonderful Lamborghini, I had a ballpoint and a sheet of A4 paper, I wonder if I could fill a page with things that could be improved on the McLaren P1.\n\nI suppose I could use very big letters. It’s five years to the month since McLaren announced it was going to make the P1, this limited-run, hybrid-powered hypercar – so they’ve just let us have another go in it.\n\nIt’s four years since it was launched and three since we gave it the full Autocar road test, including a new dry handling circuit lap record, a 0-60mph time of 2.8sec and one of the least hesitant five-star ratings we’ve ever given a car. And it’s still an absolutely exquisite machine from start to finish, on both road and track. In no way does it feel like a car whose gestation period goes back almost a decade. To realise why it ended up like this – with a relatively small-capacity, twin-turbo V8 engine augmented by an electric motor – you have to remember that McLaren is “a technology company”, according to its director of engineering design, Dan Parry-Williams.",
null,
"Parry-Williams was the P1’s chief designer. He says: “When we kicked off the project properly in 2009, we thought about hybrid and thought: ‘This makes no sense because it’s going to make the car slower, not faster, so we’ll abandon the idea.' And then we could see there was this groundswell of interest in hybrids and so on, and the [Porsche] 918 was launched very early, and we thought about it some more.”\n\nGiven that McLaren is those important words – a technology company – there was no turning back. In the 12C, McLaren had already relaunched with a downsized, turbo V8 engine. It knew LaFerrari, Ferrari’s equivalent hypercar, would come with a large-capacity V12 engine and that McLaren didn’t have its own variant. The P1’s hybrid path was set.\n\n“At the time, we were working with Mercedes in F1, so we had a very close relationship with the guys at Brixworth [Mercedes F1’s engine plant],” says Parry-Williams. “We went to talk to them and, of course, there was no supply chain that would give us the power-to-weight ratio we needed to make a system earn its keep on the car and not make the car slower. At the time, a Toyota Prius motor could produce 1.4kW/kg. The motor in the F1 car was 15kW/kg after just one year’s development, so we thought there’s quite a lot to go at here but we’re going to have to do our own parts because the hybrid parts [used by] the industry are so immature. So we had to do our own engine, our own power electronics, our own battery…”",
null,
"And so it did. And in 2013, the P1 arrived with a relatively small-capacity (3.8-litre) twin-turbo V8 engine making 727bhp, augmented by a 176bhp electric motor – which came in mostly to fill in lag from the big turbos – but produced a total of 903bhp and 664lb ft. While Porsche and Ferrari have also had hybrid hypercars, nothing like this has before, or since, rolled out of the doors at Sant’Agata Bolognese.\n\nWhich is not to be too critical of Lamborghini, mind. As m’colleague Prosser says, adding turbochargers and batteries to Lamborghini’s magnificent V12 is not going to improve it one jot. McLaren is a technology company. Lamborghini deals in other things: old-school charm; in-yer-face powertrain histrionics. At college, the P1 is the bespectacled, front-of-class swot notching up A grade after A grade. The Aventador sits further back, makes more noise, garners more attention and wilfully gathers a crowd so it can tell them how great it is, how athletic it is. It just happens that the P1 is better at sport too.\n\nAgain, that’s not a criticism of the Lamborghini. The P1 was more expensive and fewer were built. It was not – although they are coming, and soon – a full-series production hybrid McLaren. So the P1’s specialness – of production, price, ethos – allows it to be exquisitely crafted and finished.",
null,
"To sit in it today is to still feel like climbing into the future. This P1 – a hard-worn, 20,000-mile development hack, our road test car and one of two P1s retained by McLaren – is fabulous inside, with the kind of finish that looks at once extravagantly crafted but engineered to minimalism.\n\nIn some cars, bare carbonfibre is used as a flourish. Here, it is what every surface is made from and is left exposed. Weight is the enemy of performance and adding an electric motor and batteries – even ones inspired by F1 and optimised for performance, not range – meant a struggle to get the P1 to weigh less than 1500kg. So, inside, there is as little of anything as possible. It would be as black as the inside of a bare carbonfibre-hulled, round-the-world racing yacht were it not for the vast screen and glass roof panels – the latter a theme that this year’s 720S takes up. There’s a lot of P1, in fact, that represents the modern McLaren but, instead of being sanitised, here it’s exposed to the world.\n\nThat’s deliberate, says Parry-Williams: “We had an intense, philosophical internal battle when we did the P1. The mission with the 12C was: we don’t want to hear the turbos. But those of us working on the P1 said this is a high-pressure turbo engine, so let’s celebrate it; let’s make it sound part of the character of the car.”",
null,
"And, crikey, it is every inch a part of its character. The P1 fires to a loud, flat idle, but there are endearing electronic and electrical whizzes too. Under way, there are whooshes as turbos spool and fizzes as they unwind, like you’re in the trachea of a great athlete, witness to every hard-taken inhalation and exhalation. It’s a terrific noise, an engaging noise. It’s not a naturally aspirated V12, but what is?\n\n“We were well aware that Ferrari was going to come up with [the LaFerrari] and it was going to sound classically awesome,” says Parry-Williams. “We didn’t have a V12 in the toy box, so we went about doing something different, and that has to continue.\n\n“If you listen to LMP1 cars, there’s a cacophonous load of stuff going on; you’ve got high-power switching, straight-cut gears and all kinds of weird stuff, and we have to figure out what are the really cool functional aural cues – that are exciting, that we can use – and embrace them in the same way. That’s the honest way of doing it, so that’s what we’ll do.”",
null,
"There’s a word: honesty. And for what might seem like the added complexity, the convolution, of not just artificial induction from two turbochargers but also an electric motor that takes its power from deceleration and when the car’s engine isn’t working flat out, there is a notable honesty about the P1’s work. Like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the engineering is laid out in front of you and you’re offered the chance to feel it. To try it. To thrash the merry hell out of it. And, I must say, I rather like that.\n\nDelve into what a P1 has to offer and I suspect you, too, will like it. More so than an Aventador, perhaps, although that’s less because of what makes it and more about how thoroughly the P1 was honed. Unlike with the Aventador, you’ll have no qualms with the driving position or the instruments. It feels lighter (and it is), more compact, it rides with both comfort and control, it steers with delicacy and intimacy, it brakes superbly.\n\nIt feels light on its feet, and impossibly fast and responsive – linearly and predictably so, too, which is its engineers’ real skill. It is not just an absurdly fast hypercar. It is one of the all-time great driver’s cars. It feels thoroughly modern yet like it will be an immediate, all-time classic. That values are now more than twice the £866,000 that McLaren charged in the first place suggests it will be.",
null,
"Which is interesting. That’s still quite a lot less than a McLaren F1 and, while auction values are no arbiters of a car’s place in history, the F1, the Lamborghini, any big Ferrari still do something to us all, right? “I’m sure kids who are still at school, they’re going to look back at us and think: ‘Oh, look at those old guys,’” says Parry-Williams. “Turbo engines are not as viscerally exciting as naturally aspirated engines.” Are we, perhaps, on our way out, people like us?\n\n“There’s a reality here we have to confront because, in the end, there won’t be fossil fuel burning engines,” says Parry-Williams. “That’s already decided, isn’t it? So we have to make those cars as engaging as those we know and love. That’s our challenge.”\n\nCould you improve a P1 by popping a naturally aspirated V12 into its middle? Perhaps. But then it wouldn’t be a P1 and it wouldn’t look like a future that, thanks to cars like the P1, 918 Spyder and LaFerrari, is worth embracing.\n\nWhat the P1 means to me:\n\nIt was not the P1’s power I remember most. It was the hybrid’s ability to eliminate turbo lag, the suspension’s ability to triple its spring rate at the press of the button and the body’s ability to generate more downforce than any production road car in history. These are the factors that will most influence the supercars of the future. In fact, they already are. AF",
null,
"In five years, the McLaren P1 hybrid has done much more than merely establishing itself as the British hypercar of its age. It has set a design style for the McLarens that follow and clearly shown that, to exceed today’s performance level, successors will have to adopt even greater levels of electrification. In short, it has taken petrol power to its limit and given us a glimpse of what lies beyond. SC\n\n“Probably a 7min 20sec, or about that,” said the man to my left, shortly before I staggered out of his passenger seat and into the Nordschleife pit lane, unsure whether I was more likely to fall over or throw up. My introduction to the McLaren P1 was a lap of the ’Ring with test driver Chris Goodwin – and will always be my abiding memory of the car. The P1 reduced me to a staggering, bilious wreck. What a car. MS\n\nWith the P1 McLaren has shown that the future of motoring is safer and much more excitable than it appears in the wake of the people embracing the electric car.\nHybrid IS the way forward.\n275not599 14 October 2017\n\nI still think brake calipers should be black or grey unless you are an absolute bounder.\n\nDid they ever actually release a definitive Nurburgring lap time? Or did it turn out out that the 918 was actually faster?"

"“Rome is not built in a day” has become the cliché President Muhammadu Buhari’s (Buharists, as they are called) staunch supporters would tell you the moment you open mouth to criticise his ‘saintly’ presidency. Who said it was? With due respect, many of us, having grown up in uncritical, dogmatic societies and cultures, fail to differentiate criticism from condemnation and nitpicking. No, they are not the same. Dogmatism has place only in religion, and there too is only to an extent. Islam, for instance, cites several signs (such as the weather, topography, miracles, etc.) as proofs for its genuineness and as a revealed religion by God, among other things. That is to de-emphasise over-reliance on dogma, hearsay and fairytale-like stories embedded in many other religions. Thus, religion is spared from all sorts of criticism.\n\nFor governance and politics, nothing and nobody is immune from any sort of criticism, constructive or otherwise. There are, in all countries of the world, two camps in the government: the ruling and the opposition. Neither is perfect, nor knows it all. Thus, while some criticisms are downright trash, unnecessary and mere fault-finding, others are positive, useful and worthy of everyone’s attention. That is why any sane government opens its door for all, grants freedom of expression and does not harass, arrest or imprison the opposition, the pressmen and sometimes even dissents unless in rare instances. Although the present APC-led government stomachs some criticisms, the government’s mostly zealot supporters do the opposite of that.",

"To say or align the ongoing appalling fuel scarcity in the country to the CHANGE mantra Nigerians voted for—in defence of the President—is the highest level of illogicality. But that is, unfortunately, the belief of many people for their undue love for him. That is not love; it's abominable, and pretence as nobody is spared. Any fuel-related problem inflicts much suffering on the populace as prices of other essential commodities often multiply, mobility crippled, and other forms of hardship people go through.\n\nI am equally so much affected, as are many others, by the scarcity. I have adjusted and readjusted my expenditures time and again to the level of extreme frugality to survive. Yet, I still face the threat of bankruptcy. Thanks to the hiking price of petrol.\n\nHowever, the President had, yesterday, presented his 2016 Budget. In his address to the nation, PMB expressed his “profound apology”, to quote him verbatim. That was and still is a pleasing pill, a soothing succour. I was so glad that he too acknowledges our misery, our shrinking hope and excruciating disappointment. I can't help feeling resuscitated now, for, no doubt, the President sounds very serious, honest and hopeful that things will be restored, revived and robust, in sha Allah.\n\nFor God's sake, let's stop the blind love. As I have mentioned several times before, PMB is human, thus bound to do right and wrong. He and his government require our prayers and support, not hagiological articles and the abuse of whoever criticises him. He too said that \"[I] would welcome and be responsive to your feedback and criticisms\". So who are you to do otherwise? It's a disservice to the nation and the PMB-led government. We also love and are very loyal to the President. We actively participated for his success in the polls. I believe he too knows that hence that apology and welcome gesture for feedback and criticism.\n\nBesides, what is so wrong in differing with others? There is nothing wrong with that. No two people see the world through the same perspective. Psychologists say that is not possible, and they are right. For instance, you may have a similar opinion on PMB, but very likely differ on another or other issues. It’s common. Let us learn to be more tolerant, accommodating and respectful."

"Imagine the following scenario: Your commercial loan balloons in November, but every life company, commercial bank, and savings and loan association in town has already used up all of their commercial loan allocation for the year! You might have to pay the ballooning bank a two-point extension fee, just to extend the loan until the first quarter of the following year, when the nearby commercial lenders got a new allocation of commercial loan money! Therefore construction lenders always demanded a forward takeout commitment.\n\nA permanent loan on a commercial property will typically have a term of 5, 7, or 10 years; although SBA loans and USDA Business and Industries loans (partially-guaranteed by the Federal government) will sometimes be fully-amortized loans over 25 years. If a commercial first mortgage loan does not have any amortization; i.e., it's an interest-only loan, the first mortgage loan is usually considered a mini-perm. Mini-perms typically have interest-only terms of two to three years.\n\nA forward takeout commitment is nothing more than a letter promising to deliver a takeout loan at some time in the future, typically 12 months or 18 months out. Forward takeout commitment letters typically cost the developer one or two points, just for the letter itself. If the developer actually asked the lender to fund, there was typically a loan origination fee of another one or two points.\n\nDid you know that if a developer paid for a forward commitment letter that he was NOT required to take down the lender's takeout loan? For example, let's suppose a life insurance company issued a 12-month forward takeout commitment for $2 million at 5.0%. Then let's suppose the developer completed the office building, and because Lockheed Aerospace opened a new plant in town, the developer filled the building at much higher rents than he was projecting. Bank of America then offered the developer a $2.2 million takeout loan at 4.75% and a loan origination fee of just one point. Most developers would jump all over the Bank of Amercia deal and would politely tell the life company that they were not taking its loan. The life company might be ticked off (and might internally blacklist the developer), but there was nothing that the life company could do.\n\nThe local banker knows the local commercial real estate market. He might look at the developer's plans and financial projections and says, \"I'm sorry, Bill, but you're projecting office rents of $36/sf here in podunk Midwest City, Oklahoma. There is no way folks here can afford to pay that kind of rent. This deal is a non-starter.\"\n\nOr the local banker might say, \"Okay, you're projecting $28/sf here in Arlington, Virginia (the fourth largest city in the state). That looks very do-able. Go get yourself a forward takeout commitment, and assuming you've contributed at least 20% of the total cost of the project, I'm sure our bank would be willing to make the construction loan.\"\n\nThe forward takeout commitment might read, \"Bill, if you build this office building according to plans and specifications, and you get it 95% leased up at your projected rent of $28/sf, we'll fund a $2 million takeout loan to pay off your construction lender. You must hand us two points before we give you this commitment letter, and there will be an additional 1.5 point loan origination fee if you ask us to actually fund the loan.\"\n\nBill, the developer, hands the life insurance company a check for $40,000 (two points on a $2 million commitment). He then takes the forward takeout commitment letter to a bank, located close to the proposed property, and obtains what is known as a covered construction loan or a closed-end construction loan. In other words the construction lender knows exactly who is going to pay it off.\n\nThis was the world of commercial real estate finance before President Richard Nixon took the United States off the gold standard and opened the bottle to the Inflation Genie."

"Sony Ericsson has announced that ex-Nokia VP of Materials Management, Tommi Laine-Ylijoki has joined the company as Corporate Vice President and Head of Operations. He will report to President and CEO Bert Nordberg.\n\nLaine-Ylijoki joins Sony Ericsson in Lund, Sweden. He previously worked at Nokia Oyj, where he was Vice President, Materials Management, and he has more than 17 years of experience working at Nokia in Finland.\n\nThis is a major appointment for Sony Ericsson and is indicative that Nokia is very much on the decline. Europe has always been a strong market for the Finnish mobile giant, but it has lost a lot of ground in the smartphone market.\n\nIn 2010, Nokia had a 40% share of the smartphone market in Europe and was top dog. It now has less than a 20% market share and has been overtaken by Apple. Coupled with the huge staff culls and closures, it certainly seems as though Laine-Ylijoki has jumped from a sinking vessel.\n\nIn his career so far, he has worked in research within microelectronics, operations capacity management, direct sourcing and supply chain.\n\n“Tommi Laine-Ylijoki’s track record in the area of operations and supply chain management in our industry is second to none, and he joins Sony Ericsson at a very important time. As we shift more and more of our product portfolio to Xperia smartphones based on the Android platform, we continue to look for ways to achieve a cost efficient operational framework on which to build future growth.”\n\nIn a year that sees Sony Corporation and Ericsson celebrate their tenth year in partnership, this is a big appointment for Sony Ericsson as they strive to keep pace in the fast-moving smartphone market. And this defection may not be the last big departure we see at Nokia HQ in the months ahead.\n\nRead next: Opera web browser now available on iPad for the first time"

"Facebook has often been synonymous with data breaches, scandals, hacking episodes, and whatnot. The company though is keen to change all of that or at least will like us to believe they are working to bring about a change. Their launching of the new ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ tool and latest Facebook slang words and status can be considered to be a development in that direction.\n\nInterestingly, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the new tool on Data Privacy Day and will let users manage the ways the social site tracks its users the world over. Also, while Zuckerberg had first announced the tool, then known as the Clear History button, back in May 2018 when the Cambridge Analytica scandal was still boiling, it is only now that the feature is being rolled out to the over 2 billion of its monthly users the world over.\n\nZuckerberg said there are a lot of things that they needed to do before they could make the ‘Off-Facebook Activity’ tool a reality. As for those keen to know just the sort of information that the tool would be showing, Zuckerberg said those would include user’s activity on sites and businesses that have an agreement with Facebook to share such info with them.\n\nFrom the user’s perspective, this would perhaps be the first time they would have an idea of the surveillance network sort of thing that Facebook has woven around us, gathering data on almost everything that users do while online. That includes the sites they have visited, purchases made online, the sort of news they have gone through and so on. Zuckerberg said they need such info to show users ad that they feel will be most relevant to them.\n\nWith the new tool, users will have the option to delink their accounts from the data that the company gathers about the user. That, however, won’t stop Facebook from tracking user’s online activities though the company is claiming they won’t be linked to the user’s account anymore. In fact, the tracking would continue even if the user deactivates their account as the tracking info would be relevant again just in case the user opts to come back again.\n\nFortunately for the users, there is also the option to turn off future tracking as well. This way, users can rest assured of not having to clean their online history at regular intervals. Then there is also the ‘Ads based on data from partners’ setting under ‘As Controls’ turning off which will prevent businesses and advertisers to show ads based on other parameters.\n\nOn the whole, it could be sometime before we get to know exactly the extent to which Facebook goes to track its user’s activities; and if it is really honest in allowing users having complete control over the data it collects. After all, the company doesn’t have a particularly clean record on this aspect though a user’s at least will be better aware of all the data that Facebook collects about them."

"Blockchain technology is becoming a game-changer for many industries, in part, for its security and transparency features. But first… what is blockchain?\n\nA blockchain is a registry of data that acts as a decentralized ledger shared among various computers or “nodes” to reliably and securely record transactions. So, the information of the transactions will register into a blockchain as “blocks” of data. Then, these blocks will connect chronologically, forming some kind of “chain.”\n\nThe security and trustworthiness of this technology lean mostly on its decentralization attributes. Each one of the nodes in a network contains a copy of this ledger. The nodes must verify and validate each transaction before it appends to the chain.\n\nAlso, a user can’t erase or alter any record in a blockchain. In other words, a blockchain will only grow in size. So, to amend a record, a new transaction must be validated and added to the chain.\n\nEach block must include the following information:\n\n(TL;DR at the end of the article).\n\nHow a Blockchain Works?#\n\nTo better understand how a blockchain works, we can compare these decentralized ledgers to a domino game where the players are the nodes. This means that all the players have visibility on what happens on the board. Also, the nodes are aware that there is a set of rules for the game. For instance, a person cannot skip a turn or play a domino tile where it doesn’t match, because the other players in charge of validation will eventually draw it back. In fact, that’s the responsibility of the nodes in a network.",
null,
"Likewise, blockchain technology allows decentralized registries of data. In particular, blockchain may enable the automatic and autonomous execution of transactions, meaning that now the users can manage their transactions directly and securely, cutting the middleman. How? The nodes must verify that everyone around the board (either anonymously or with know identities) plays by the rules. This is known as “consensus.”\n\nFor example, a logistics company may choose to assign the computer nodes to organizations across the supply chain, including tax authorities, ports, suppliers, and wholesalers. So, this will most likely increase trust among the parties because now all of them can validate each transaction and have visibility throughout the logistics process.\n\nAdditionally, when deploying blockchain, users can be anonymous or use a pseudonym. If so, the registries (the blocks) will remain cyphered to protect their privacy and security. Therefore, any transaction request that they make, be it, for example, sending cryptocurrencies, logging an accounting entry, or adding information to a medical record, must be verified and validated by the nodes.\n\nBack to the domino example, let’s say someone adds a new tile (a Block Producer) and, at the same time, the rest of the players close their eyes to not see who’s playing. At the end of the turn, all the players open their eyes to validate the new tile.\n\nSubsequently, after the majority of the players agree the transaction was valid, the block appends to the chain. At this point, the block will remain immutable and can no longer be changed or removed from the chain. Thus, the block is irreversible, evading any fraud or unauthorized changes.\n\nIn summation, being a decentralized network adds layers of security to a blockchain. Additionally, each block is linked to its predecessor by a unique code known as a “hash.” This hash code represents the data in the block. The hash is fundamental for traceability purposes and for preventing cyberattacks. Accordingly, a hacker who’s trying to modify data in a blockchain must try to hack all the hash codes in a chain, making it nearly impossible.\n\nIn other words, back to the domino example, this might be a way to verify that the number in the tiles in a chain match following a logic order.\n\nIn particular, smart contracts are codes programmed to execute automatically and autonomously when the requirements are met. For example, let’s imagine two people are playing coin toss. They agree that if it lands heads, person A must pay person B $100. But, if it lands tails, person B must pay person A the same amount. There are no questions asked, as there are only two possible outcomes and they both have visibility of the truth. Hence, the same happens with a smart contract in a blockchain.\n\nSome use cases of blockchain are:\n\nEOS Costa Rica operates since 2018. Our team develops blockchain-based solutions with great attention to detail in creating user-centered dapps for enterprise use. We also provide resources to the EOSIO infrastructure and promote the local EOSIO ecosystem. Let’s talk about how you can implement this technology into the operations of your organization.\n\nA blockchain acts as a distributed ledger of information shared by a network of trusted computers that validate each new transaction before adding it to the registry. This “chain” of data can only grow in size, meaning that to amend a record, a user must request a new transaction. This makes data in a blockchain practically unalterable and avoids human error when recording transactions.\n\nSome use cases of this technology are:"

"A self-lubricating condom may be about to revolutionise the world of sex.\n\nThe contraception, which researchers at Boston University created off the back of a $100,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, could reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies.\n\nAfter all, people are more likely to wear a condom that makes sex feel good, and this prophylactic is reportedly less likely to break while you’re getting intimate than a condom you have to lube up yourself.\n\nWith the help of a polymer coating which took three years and around 1,000 different formulations to develop, the new condom is able to take moisture from your sexual partner on contact, which binds to its coating.\n\nThis forms “a thin layer of water on the surface which makes it slippery,” lead researcher Mark Grinstaff told Fast Company.\n\nHe said that this lubrication “binds to the surface of the latex condom and does not come off.”\n\nGrinstaff, a professor of biomedical engineering and chemistry who co-authored the study—which has been published in British journal Royal Society Open Science—told BU Today: “Preventing the spread of HIV and other diseases is critically important.\n\n“That really was the driving force for creating new technology here.”\n\nThe study indicates that this polymer ensures that the condom stays lubricated for up to 1,000 thrusts, many more than what researchers defined as “typical intercourse,” which they said lasts “about 100–500 thrusts.”\n\nUnlike normal condoms, these new creations are also able to hold their lubrication while in large bodies of water—which is good news if you like having sex in the shower or bath.\n\nThough the condoms have not been tried out during sex by anyone yet, a touch test during the study revealed that 73 percent of respondents preferred the new prophylactic to others, and 85 percent thought it was more slippy.\n\nStacy Chin, who co-authored the study, is also the CEO of start-up HydroGlyde Coatings, which aims to bring the product to market within the next two years.\n\nShe said: “Poor lubrication encourages condom misusage,” adding that scientists know if they can “improve comfort for users, we can enable them to wear condoms more consistently and appropriately, preventing STIs and unplanned pregnancies.”\n\nGrinstaff reported that “those in our survey who don’t typically use a condom said they would consider using a condom if it stayed slippery like this.”\n\nHe added that there hadn’t been a significant development in the field for decades, explaining: “Glow-in-the dark condoms and flavoured condoms are clever gimmicks that don’t help performance.\n\n“I think we can do better.”\n\nWe can certainly do better than rewashing and using our condoms, which is what the US government felt the need to warn the public against doing earlier this year.\n\nThe Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s Division of STD Prevention tweeted an apparently timely reminder regarding the public’s condom use in August, saying: “We say it because people do it: Don’t wash or reuse #condoms!"

"Role In:\nBattle of the Catalaunian Plains\n\nFrom 434 to 453 Attila was king of the Huns. An outstanding commander and a persistent negotiator, Attila inherited an empire that probably stretched from the Alps and the Baltic in the west to somewhere near the Caspian Sea in the east and expanded it by invading the southern Balkans, Greece, Gaul, and Italy.\n\nWhy is Attila important?\n\nAttila was one of the greatest of the barbarian rulers who assailed the Roman Empire. He extracted a yearly tribute in gold from the Eastern Roman Empire and attacked Gaul and then Italy after the Western Roman emperor refused to marry his sister to Attila with half the Western Empire as her dowry.\n\nFollowing the death of their uncle Rua, Attila and his brother Bleda became joint kings of the Huns from 434 until Attila murdered Bleda in 445. Attila had many wives and is reported to have died after his final wedding. He was succeeded by his sons, who were unable to hold his empire together.\n\nAttila, byname Flagellum Dei (Latin: “Scourge of God”), (died 453), king of the Huns from 434 to 453 (ruling jointly with his elder brother Bleda until 445). He was one of the greatest of the barbarian rulers who assailed the Roman Empire, invading the southern Balkan provinces and Greece and then Gaul and Italy. In legend he appears under the name Etzel in the Nibelungenlied and under the name Atli in Icelandic sagas.\n\nAttacks on the Eastern Empire\n\nThe empire that Attila and his elder brother Bleda inherited seems to have stretched from the Alps and the Baltic in the west to somewhere near the Caspian Sea in the east. Their first known action on becoming joint rulers was the negotiation of a peace treaty with the Eastern Roman Empire, which was concluded at the city of Margus (Požarevac). By the terms of the treaty, the Romans undertook to double the subsidies they had been paying to the Huns and in the future to pay 700 pounds (300 kg) of gold each year.\n\nFrom 435 to 439 the activities of Attila are unknown, but he seems to have been engaged in subduing barbarian peoples to the north or east of his dominions. The Eastern Romans do not appear to have paid the sums stipulated in the treaty of Margus, and so in 441, when their forces were occupied in the west and on the eastern frontier, Attila launched a heavy assault on the Danubian frontier of the Eastern Empire. He captured and razed a number of important cities, including Singidunum (Belgrade). The Eastern Romans managed to arrange a truce for the year 442 and recalled their forces from the West. But in 443 Attila resumed his attack. He began by taking and destroying towns on the Danube and then drove into the interior of the empire toward Naissus (Niš) and Serdica (Sofia), both of which he destroyed. He next turned toward Constantinople, took Philippopolis, defeated the main Eastern Roman forces in a succession of battles, and so reached the sea both north and south of Constantinople. It was hopeless for the Hun archers to attack the great walls of the capital, so Attila turned on the remnants of the empire’s forces, which had withdrawn into the peninsula of Gallipoli, and destroyed them. In the peace treaty that followed, he obliged the Eastern Empire to pay the arrears of tribute, which he calculated at 6,000 pounds (2,700 kg) of gold, and he trebled the annual tribute, thenceforth extorting 2,100 pounds (950 kg) of gold each year.\n\nAttila’s movements after the conclusion of peace in the autumn of 443 are unknown. About 445 he murdered his brother Bleda and thenceforth ruled the Huns as an autocrat. He made his second great attack on the Eastern Roman Empire in 447, but little is known of the details of the campaign. It was planned on an even bigger scale than that of 441–443, and its main weight was directed toward the provinces of Lower Scythia and Moesia in southeastern Europe—i.e., farther to the east than the earlier assault. He engaged the Eastern Empire’s forces on the Utus (Vid) River and defeated them, but he himself suffered serious losses. He then devastated the Balkan provinces and drove southward into Greece, where he was only stopped at Thermopylae. The three years following the invasion were filled with complicated negotiations between Attila and the diplomats of the Eastern Roman emperor Theodosius II. Much information about these diplomatic encounters has been preserved in the fragments of the History of Priscus of Panium, who visited Attila’s headquarters in Walachia in company with a Roman embassy in 449. The treaty by which the war was terminated was harsher than that of 443; the Eastern Romans had to evacuate a wide belt of territory south of the Danube, and the tribute payable by them was continued, though the rate is not known.\n\nAttila’s next great campaign was the invasion of Gaul in 451. Hitherto, he appears to have been on friendly terms with the Roman general Aetius, the real ruler of the West at this time, and his motives for marching into Gaul have not been recorded. He announced that his objective in the West was the kingdom of the Visigoths (a Germanic people who had conquered parts of the two Roman empires) centred on Tolosa (Toulouse) and that he had no quarrel with the Western emperor, Valentinian III. But in the spring of 450, Honoria, the emperor’s sister, sent her ring to Attila, asking him to rescue her from a marriage that had been arranged for her. Attila thereupon claimed Honoria as his wife and demanded half the Western Empire as her dowry. When Attila had already entered Gaul, Aetius reached an agreement with the Visigothic king, Theodoric I, to combine their forces in resisting the Huns. Many legends surround the campaign that followed. It is certain, however, that Attila almost succeeded in occupying Aurelianum (Orléans) before the allies arrived. Indeed, the Huns had already gained a footing inside the city when Aetius and Theodoric forced them to withdraw. The decisive engagement was the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, or, according to some authorities, of Maurica (both places are unidentified). After fierce fighting, in which the Visigothic king was killed, Attila withdrew and shortly afterward retired from Gaul. This was his first and only defeat.\n\nIn 452 the Huns invaded Italy and sacked several cities, including Aquileia, Patavium (Padua), Verona, Brixia (Brescia), Bergomum (Bergamo), and Mediolanum (Milan); Aetius could do nothing to halt them. But the famine and pestilence raging in Italy in that year compelled the Huns to leave without crossing the Apennines.\n\nIn 453 Attila was intending to attack the Eastern Empire, where the new emperor Marcian had refused to pay the subsidies agreed upon by his predecessor, Theodosius II. But during the night following his marriage, Attila died in his sleep. Those who buried him and his treasures were subsequently put to death by the Huns so that his grave might never be discovered. He was succeeded by his sons, who divided his empire among them.\n\nPriscus, who saw Attila when he visited his camp in 448, described him as a short, squat man with a large head, deep-set eyes, flat nose, and a thin beard. According to the historians, Attila was, though of an irritable, blustering, and truculent disposition, a very persistent negotiator and by no means pitiless. When Priscus attended a banquet given by him, he noticed that Attila was served off wooden plates and ate only meat, whereas his chief lieutenants dined off silver platters loaded with dainties. No description of his qualities as a general survives, but his successes before the invasion of Gaul show him to have been an outstanding commander."

"Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse Review\n\nI got to see Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse early thanks to an exclusive offer via Amazon, and I have to say I’m glad I saw the movie.\n\nI thought it was interesting that Sony was doing an animated Spider Man movie considering their deal with Marvel/Disney to use the live action spider man for MCU films.\n\nI was impressed not only with the animation but also how the movie played out. The star of the film was Miles Morales, an African American teen who was bit by a spider that came into contact with an inter-dimensional device constructed by Doc Ock and Wilson Fisk.\n\nMiles quickly finds out that there are others like him, other Spider-Men and Spider-Woman in the multiverse.\n\nThe entire move will have you feeling all the emotions, it was funny, and parts were sad, much like anything you’ve ever seen but better.\n\nI also liked how they stayed true to the animation from other art styles like Japanese animation and traditional American cartoon animation to make everything seem very authentic and true to what it is. It was definitely something I’ve never seen before in one movie.\n\nThe music was top notch, with music by Vaughn Orlando and fit well with the theme of the movie.\n\nIm giving Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse my highest praise, and I suggest you all go see it when it hits theaters next week on December 14th with your family and friends.",

His life has been carved by cutting corners and making moves, following impulsive decisions while weighing the facts at hand.\n\nOn the track, that has never steered him wrong.\n\nIn life, though? That’s another story.\n\nOn the cusp of greatness, the world’s up-and-coming racing star seems to be living the perfect story. A hero to his hometown. A partner to his best friend.

"Spectacular ending to an exciting series! My heart was gone for Dustin right from the beginning and “his person” Hannah was not far behind. I was so mad at her at the end of the last story and I didn’t think I would get over it. Well, it wasn’t long before I was back on team Hannah Banana. Yup, she had reasons for her actions. Scary reasons. Soon the secrets come out and it’s time to deal with the problem in the form of nasty mobster. Dustin is in such a bad place and my heart bleed for his circustances. It seems like he can’t get a break. It was so emotional as Dustin and Hannah tried to find a way back to each other. Of course, the terrific support characters are back in full force with Hannah’s family front and center along with bestie Bailey. Bailey’s new situation was good surprise but I was hoping for her story. Dustin had an emotional moment when a person from his past comes back into his life. I was crying happy tears! There were a few surprises and twists in the story with a major OMG moment when a bad guy gets his comeuppance. There were also several coincidences that were a little too convenient for me. Everything wrapped up neatly with a lovely look into the future that pulled by heartstrings. There were a few elements that didn’t quite match my previous experiences with this outstanding author. One thing that bug me was the behaviors and language of a toddler that seemed too advanced for that age. Regardless, I was so gone for this trilogy with a terrific racing backdrop and rich characters. I absolutely love this author’s storytelling with wonderful family and friends and a swoon-worthy romance full of love and heat. A must read!"

You might change what you do and take the blame – even when you think you shouldn’t, hoping that will fix it. It’s at that moment when you realise that walking away is the only thing you can do, but also is the thing that was meant to happen.”\n\nTo celebrate the release of ‘Keep Talking’, Cyrus will be performing live and signing copies of his single at the following locations in February –",

"Morocco is only moments away from announcing its new government, but information remains scarce over who will assume key posts.\n\nParty leaders still decline to comment on the make up of the new government, but they occasionally reports on the progress of the consultation process to media outlets; they are still maintaining the media blackout on their internal box, leaving a free way to speculations and assumptions.\n\nObservers speculate that Secretary General of the Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS), Nabil Benabdellah, will hold Minister of Tourism.\n\nPopular Movement (PM) General Secretary, Mohand Laenser is a possible candidate for the post of the interior minister, which will be split into two ministries, Interior ministry and local development.\n\nOther speculations suggest that Ouzzine Mohamed as Minister of Rural Development, Water and Forestry; Lahcen Hadad as Minister of Agriculture, Saad-Eddine El Othmani as minister for foreign affairs, Abdelaziz Rebbah, Minister of Equipment and Transport, Mustapha Ramid, minister of Justice and Civil Liberties, Bassima Hakkaoui, Minister in charge of Solidarity and Family.\n\nIt is too early to authenticate the appointments of such candidates for such positions since it is not yet confirmed by the Monarch.\n\nMoreover, according to several sources contacted by Morocco World News, the new head of government was to be received by King Mohammed VI last Wednesday. On the meeting that was scheduled last Tuesday, but postponed till the last minute, Abdelilah Benkirane was to present the final formation of the new government to the Sovereign to notify him before naming the future ministers to the public.\n\nMr. Benkirane was also to meet on the same day with his allies to endorse the allocation of ministerial posts. Meanwhile, a source within the Popular Movement (MP) told Mr. Benkirane to ask allies to submit three candidates for each ministerial post, which he refused. He wants flexibility to make a choice based on a list of three candidates drawn up by order; it looks a bit like the internal modus operandi adopted by the PJD for the appointments.\n\nThe final structure of the new government will be made public after the King approves Benkirane’s proposed nominees.\n\nThe Head of Government said in a press briefing held on December 12 in Rabat that his government will not include more than 30 ministries.\n\nIt remain unclear when the head of government will announce officially the formation of its cabinet."

"The economy shambles along: is refinancing staving off recession?\n\nPerhaps the best single article I've ever read about business cycles was the presentation by Professor Edward Leamer [pdf] of UCLA at the 2007 Jackson Hole conference. In that paper, Prof. Leamer showed that business cycles typically start with a turn in housing, followed by vehicles (consumer durables), then consumer nondurables (general retail sales), and then finally by commercial real estate. The order is the same for both recessions and recoveries.\n\nIn the last couple of months, hosuing permits and starts have made new multi-year highs. And just two days ago, we found out that car and light truck sales made a new post-recession high as well. How can that be if we are allegedly already in a new recession?\n\nI get that because of misguided austerity policies in major trading partners manufacturing insofar as it is export-related might decline at least slightly. It is also no surprise that with the labor market having been so weak for so long, wage and salary increases are declining closer and closer to zero, a fact that should have official Washington's hair on fire with urgency, instead of creating phony fiscal crises.\n\nBut the fact is, even now, consumer spending does not seem to be faltering. In fact this week Gallup's daily consumer spending is once again touching new post-recession highs. It appears that, despite the recent decline in real income and wages, consumers are benefitting from the record decline in house prices that bottomed recently, and the ability to refinance debt at ever lower rates courtesy of quantitative easing and record low mortgage rates.\n\nLet's go to the graphs. First, here is a graph of average wages divided by house prices, showing how the declilne in prices has made it easier and easier for a given wage to support the purchase of a house:",
null,
"Here's the same graph using persoanl income rather than average wages. We get the same result:",
null,
"But that's not the end, because ever lower mortgage rates mean that even with declining real wages, more debt can safely be taken on, as shown by this graph that divides the result in the first graph above by mortgage interest rates:",
null,
"Again, we get the same result if we use personal income rather than average hourly wages:",
null,
"While Sandy no doubt impacted a few weeks of spending, which will show up in November's numbers as well as October's, real retail sales made a new high in September, and real manufacturing and trade sales are by my reckoning only 0.1% off their high earlier this year.\n\nIn other words, it appears that consumers' ability to buy houses and cars has been increasing, and that has been staving off any generalized significant decline in the economy.\nPosted by New Deal democrat at 8:00:00 AM"

"Extended reality in cars may be entertaining - and surprisingly practical.\n\nWe often use terms like “extended reality” and “immersive reality” interchangeably. While most of these experiences engage our eyes and ears, few engage our other senses. A German-based company holoride is looking to change that with extended reality experiences incorporating movement in a pretty creative way.\n\nA History of Holoride\n\nThe story of holoride starts at Audi. There, co-founders Nils Wollny, Marcus Kühne, and Daniel Profendiner worked on digital projects including extended reality applications and early work in autonomous vehicles.\n\nThe group started working on combining their research on driving physics and extended reality. The result was extended reality experiences that were synchronized to the movement of the vehicle.\n\n“A virtual vehicle is synchronized in real-time to the movement of the physical vehicle,” Wollny, now holoride CEO, told ARPost in an interview. “This creates an experience that no simulation really mock.”\n\nThe sheer entertainment potential was astounding. The “virtual vehicle” that users could ride in might be a spaceship, a flying carpet, anything. However, a more practical side became evident during testing. The immersive experience seems to drastically reduce instances of motion sickness.\n\nMany people who ride in cars are subject to motion sickness, particularly if they’re also doing something like reading or playing a hand-held video game. Many people also get motion sickness when using VR. Wollny says that these are for the same reason – what you see and what your body feels don’t match up.\n\n“We have the theory that if we match what you see with what you feel, people won’t get motion sickness,” said Wollny. “We can’t cure it 100% of the time… but the percentage number of people getting motion sickness with our solution is in the single digits.”\n\nFor a while, the team looked at creating their solution within Audi. However, that would severely limit the market potential. So, they left Audi and created holoride. Their independent platform means that it will one day be compatible with all car manufacturers.\n\nThe Future of Holoride\n\nIn late 2018, holoride was formed with Audi’s blessing. The car manufacturer helped with funding but only owns a small share of the company.\n\nholoride debuted at CES 2019 and was in full swing by February. However, to tell the story from here, it makes sense to jump around a little in time.\n\nholoride was originally intended for use in autonomous vehicles. People would have more time for in-vehicle immersive experiences if they weren’t doing things like driving. Further, being in a car that moves itself may contribute to even more motion sickness, according to Wollny.\n\nThere’s just one other thing: holoride works now and autonomous vehicles are a thing of the future.\n\n“We didn’t want to wait until we have autonomous vehicles,” said Wollny. “No one knows when that is going to be.”\n\nSo, if holoride already works, why don’t we already have it? That gets back to the issue of being compatible with car manufacturers.\n\nOne of the biggest areas where customers are focusing in AR and VR, and especially in VR, is location-based experiences. Since this is such an attractive space, why not build an experience where you’re in a car and experiencing these created worlds?\n\n“What we need for holoride to work in private passenger cars is car data,” said Wollny. Information like speed and direction is required to sync the extended reality experience to. “To get that, we need to work closely with car manufacturers.”\n\nThe good news is that holoride made this very easy for car manufacturers. Further, being holoride-compatible adds a lot of value to vehicle without the manufacturer needing to do much themselves. The end result is that the first holoride-compatible vehicles should be rolling out within the next two years – well before most estimates for autonomous vehicles.\n\nAn Introduction to In-Car Extended Reality\n\n“One of the biggest areas where customers are focusing in AR and VR, and especially in VR, is location-based experiences,” said Wollny. “Since this is such an attractive space, why not build an experience where you’re in a car and experiencing these created worlds?”\n\n“We are building a few applications for ourselves because they display what can be done with the [Software Developers’ Kit], but we are not content creators,” said Wollny.\n\nThe first holoride experiences will be available at select locations in a couple of weeks. That’s all that Wollny could tell us at the moment but he’d be sure to let us know as the experiences roll out.\n\nJust the idea of using extended reality in a moving vehicle may make some people queasey. For now at least. However, we’re looking forward to watching them change our minds one ride at a time.",

"The so-called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a deadly suicide bombing on a Shiite mosque in southern Afghanistan that killed 47 people and wounded scores more.\n\nIn a statement posted on social media, IS said two of the group’s members shot and killed security guards manning the entrance of the Fatimiya mosque in Kandahar province.\n\nOne detonated his explosives at the entrance of the mosque and the other inside.\n\nIS’s news agency Amaq in a statement gave the names of the attackers as Anas al-Khurasani and Abu Ali al-Baluchi, both Afghan nationals.\n\nThe attack came a week after a bombing claimed by the local Islamic State affiliate killed 46 people at a Shiite mosque in northern Afghanistan, raising fears that IS — an enemy of both the Taliban and the West — is expanding its foothold in Afghanistan.\n\nFriday’s attack was the deadliest to strike Afghanistan since the dramatic US exit from the country, which allowed the Taliban to seize control of the Afghan capital.\n\nIt was also the first major attack by the group in the country’s south.\n\nIS carries out frequent attacks in its eastern stronghold but recently has shown signs of expansion, with attacks in the north and Kabul.\n\nThe attacks have brought into question the Taliban’s ability to counter the growing IS threat.\n\nThe Taliban have pledged to restore peace and security after decades of war and have also given the US assurances that they will not allow the country to be used as a base for launching extremist attacks on other countries.",

"Well kids, I’m continuing from my last story telling you how your dad and I met. It seems that, after reading that post, a lot of people were urging me to tell you the story of how your dad proposed to me since the story really is legen…wait-for-it…DARY.\n\nAnd that’s not just a How I Met Your Mother reference. Your dad really did outdo himself.\n\nIn the previous post, I posted this photo of us newly engaged standing in Times Square and several people were like, “Wait, that’s not Houston. You got engaged in New York? Do tell.”\n\nSee, before I met your dad, I had grand plans to move to New York City after I graduated high school. I wanted to live in The Big Apple, the magical land that Frank Sinatra sings about, in a neighborhood where my friends hang out at Central Perk right around the corner, and Kramer is my next door neighbor. Ever since a young age, I dreamed of moving to NYC. I wanted to go to acting school and work in the entertainment business. When I visited the city my sophomore year of high school, I was even more determined to make my dream of living there become a reality.\n\nAnd then I graduated high school and reality hit harder than anticipated. Life does that some times. But you do your best with what you’re given. And I was given a great debt-free in-state college education. Read that – DEBT FREE. You’ll appreciate those words when your college years roll around. However, I still followed my passion for theatre by majoring in it. But I told you all about that in my last post.\n\nSo he and I started dating seriously and talking about marriage and even went to look at rings six months after we started dating. It was the spring of 2007, and my best friend Kasie convinced me to go on a girl’s trip to New York City. We planned the trip for July, and at the time, I had no idea that would be when your dad would ask me to marry him.\n\nHe really pulled off an epic proposal. So I’ve put together this simple tutorial, inspired by your father’s proposal, that is guaranteed to make any person say YES – even if you don’t know them. Although, it’s best if you do know them. And know them well.\n\nSo kids, here’s how your father proposed, and a great guideline should you find yourself in the same position someday…\n\nStep 1 :: Find out their most treasured ideas and dreams and incorporate that into your proposal.",
null,
"He knew how much I LOVE NYC, so he did what he could to make it possible for me to go on the trip with Kasie. And then, not only did I go on the trip, he planned his proposal in one of my favorite cities! So Kas and I, my mom and hers, flew into NYC, and the next day he shows up with his family and pops the question {see more details in Step 3}. But not only that, I didn’t know that he was going to show up!\n\nStep 2 :: Secretly plan with a cohort behind your soon-to-be betrothed’s back.\n\nI do not condone secrets in a relationship…unless it’s a good surprise. Surprise parties, impromptu dates, proposals, whatev. Aaron recruited my BFF, Kasie, to help plan the trip, convince me to go, and work the details and timeline out perfectly. He even had her mom involved, my parents, his parents, and his best friend. Everyone was in on the secret!\n\nStep 3 :: Make it a community effort.",
null,
"Remember Step 1? Well, I love theatre. So what more perfect way to propose to me than in a theatre?! So that’s what your dad did! He collaborated with the management of an off-Broadway musical to come onstage after the curtain call and propose to me in front of an entire theatre full of people. Again, not only did he get the people closest to me involved, he got a whole professional theatre production involved! The Dude is smoooooooth, I tell ya.",
null,
null,
"Step 4 :: Propose in the most unlikely of places.\n\nWant to surprise them? Propose where they wouldn’t expect it. I lived in Houston, not NYC. There’s no way I would have ever thought I’d get engaged in any place but Houston. So when he showed up in New York, I was blown away. And completely surprised!",
null,
"After he popped the question at the theatre, we all walked to Times Square, and I looked up at the ticker tape on the Hershey building. And there it was – “Hannah, will you marry me?” And I excitedly screamed, “AGAIN! YES!”",
null,
"Step 6 :: Celebrate with a group…and make sure to celebrate privately.\n\nThat night he proposed, we celebrated by going out for dinner. It was a party and a celebration! But the next few days after that, everyone else did their itinerary while your dad and I did what we wanted to do – together, alone. We went out into Manhattan and just walked. We started in Midtown and spent several hours in Central Park. Then we walked all the way down to Wall Street and back up again to Times Square. He practically had to carry me by the end of the day, but those times alone exploring my favorite city {besides Houston!} were some of the best moments of my life!",
null,
"All of this of course, is if your significant other would appreciate such a huge gesture. Use your discretion. That actually might be Step 0 – discretion. If they like the opposite of these things, then do that.\n\nBut the point is, your dad knew me, knew my heart and soul, and the things that mean so much to me. And he knew that I like a freaking-awesome surprise! And he incorporated all these in such a special way when he asked me to spend our lives together. I would have loved his proposal no matter how he did it. But the way he did – it’s so special to me.",
null,
"Readers, how did your spouse propose to you? Do tell. I love these proposal stories!",

"Osama Bin Laden, the architect of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the US, at an undisclosed location, in this file photo. (AP)\nTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS\nFollow @arabnews\n\nWASHINGTON: Secluded in his hideaway in Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden suspected Iranian officials might implant tracking devices in his sons, according to a document released Thursday in a batch of materials seized in a 2011 raid that killed the Al-Qaeda leader.\n“If they inject you with a shot, this shot might be loaded with a tiny chip,” Bin Laden wrote in an undated letter to his sons, Uthman and Mohammed, who were being allowed to leave Iran. “The syringe size may be normal, but the needle is expected to be larger than normal size. The chip size may be as long as a seed of grain but very thin and smooth.”\nIn its final hours, the Obama administration released the last of three installments of documents belonging Bin Laden that were collected during the raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.\nIn the second batch of documents, released last March, Bin Laden also expressed the same paranoia in a letter to one of his wives, who also lived in Iran.\n“I was told that you went to a dentist in Iran and you were concerned about a filling she put in for you,” Bin Laden wrote. He said he wanted to be told of any concerns she or any of his followers had about “chips planted in any way.”\nTracking down and killing the man behind the 2001 terrorist attacks on America is one of President Barack Obama’s greatest accomplishments.\nIntelligence officials have worked for more than two years to declassify the hundreds of documents captured in the raid. The last batch, consisting of 49 documents, includes a running disagreement between Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Iraq, which morphed into the Daesh group. Those militants are currently the top target of US counterterrorism efforts.\nThe Pentagon announced Thursday that the US Air Force attacked a pair of Daesh military camps in Libya, seeking to eliminate extremists who had escaped from their former stronghold of Sirte.\nBin Laden is responsible for orchestrating the Sept. 11 strikes against the US that killed nearly 3,000 people. The attacks drastically changed America’s footprint abroad and challenged some of the most basic tenets of the constitution in an effort to detect terrorists before they strike.\nIn a letter to a fellow militant, written after 9/11, Bin Laden called on his followers to invent new ways to battle the West.\n“If we cannot manufacture weapons like the weapons of the Crusader West, we can destroy its complicated industrial and economic system and exhaust its forces that fight without faith until they escape,” he wrote.\n“Therefore, the mujahidin had to create new methods that no one from the West can think about, and one of the examples of this creative thinking is using the airplane as a powerful weapon, like what had happened in the blessed attacks in Washington, New York and Pennsylvania.”"

It’s in the Liguria region of Italy and compared to the South of France, it is relatively inexpensive and extraordinary in its scenic beauty, history, food and wine.\n\nThe first day I was truly spoiled. A friend and colleague picked me up with his wife and we drove to Portofino along an expressway with multiple tunnels and the Mediterranean sitting as a jewel at the end. This part of Italy’s coast is very popular with the Italians as it is easily reached by train or car in just a couple of hours. The hotels and restaurants are very busy on Friday and Saturday nights so it’s necessary to book even in June or September – count yourself incredibly lucky if you get a room at all in July or August.",

From such heights it’s easy to appreciate why the port is nicknamed “narrow port” and at the same time difficult to imagine how the super yachts, which dock in this area, get in at all.\n\nOn day two we rented a small motor boat which was a great way to see the coastline. If the weather had been better we would have loved to have explored areas around San Fruttuoso only reached by foot or boat. After returning to Santa Margherita via Portofino, we enjoyed a lovely lunch of Spaghetti alle Vongole – spaghetti with clams accompanied by a bottle of Vermantino from Sardinia. We used our local connections to get a booking at Portofino’s La Taverna del Marinaio. The food was exceptional – although I was told Puny, U Magazin and U Batti are excellent too. Be sure to make a reservation.",

"The following day we took the train to Riomaggiore – the most southern of the five villages of the Cinque Terre. A walking trail, known as Sentiero Azzurro (Azure Trail) connects the villages but we were disappointed to find the lower pathways between Manarola and Corniglia closed. Mudslides hit the region hard in 2011 and have caused lasting damage in sections so our only option was to go up and over the hills. At times, these felt like mountains. It was a grueling exercise and one I would suggest only if you are fit or slightly crazy! The views from the top are glorious though so well worth the effort.\n\nHeading north again I discovered the fourth village called Vernazza which was, to me, my favourite. Back down by the water we lunched at a fabulous restaurant perched above the rocks and village in the remains of an ancient fortress. After a long day we headed back by train to Santa Margherita.",

"The Cinque Terre is very touristy but very beautiful. The villages are pretty and contain many historical and religious features – some quite similar to Corsica. It really is astounding how the people have adapted – their gardens, olive trees and vineyards are carved into the rocky hillsides. We were told that the gardeners need to wear rope around their waists to save them from falling. Apparently the walk between the northern most towns of Vernazza and Monterossa is the most picturesque. For that reason, I would recommend travelling in the opposite order – Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and lastly, Riomaggiore.\n\nThe trains are inexpensive, run relatively frequently and offer some stunning views. There are also ferries and tour groups for those who don’t want to walk. I found the ferry’s ability to back up to the rocks in quite a large swell both impressive and a little scary.\n\nWe were pleased to have based ourselves in Santa Margherita at the Hotel Continental. The town was picturesque and a good location. The hotel has received mixed reviews however, including great views, very average dĂ©cor, both good and very poor service combined with appalling internet access. Taxis are horrendously expensive so walking or train is best where possible. Overall, my experience was amazing and I can’t wait to return.\n\nEmma Stone: ‘I feel pretty good about starting my own pack’\n\nThe newly married actress is keen to have children with new husband, Dave McCary who she married in secret back in...\n\nFor the many countries around the world that are reliant on tourism dollars, restarting holiday travel is a priority.

"We have 567 registered universities in India offering carbon copy courses in disciplines that no longer excite the attention-starved Twitter generation. Rather than major in the mundane Mechanical Engineering or the boring Business Administration, kids these days are more interested in learning the short cut commands for becoming an overnight celebrity. Unfortunately, no academic institution in our nation has put together a curriculum yet, to mass-produce an assembly line of Page 3 people. Probably the need of the hour is to offer degrees and diplomas in Betting, Match Fixing, Insider Trading, Hacking, Money Laundering, Ponzi Scheming, Cheerleading, Limelight Grabbing, and Back Scratching. Till the time this becomes a reality, the young and the restless can choose one of the following:\n\nThe Southampton Solent University in the UK is dead serious about humour. So much so they’ve handpicked stand-up comic Dr. Chris Ritchie to create a 3-year course that straddles writing and performing in stand-up shows, radio and television, and the history and criticism of comedy from the perspective of legends like Aristotle, Cicero and Freud. Lest you dismiss it as a 36-month gag, the university points out that the course will be as rigorous as any performance arts program. Don’t take their words lightly. Else the joke will be on you.\n\nA Master’s Degree in The Beatles\n\nNowhere man, please listen. Liverpool Hope University lets you specialise in the music of The Beatles by focusing on the studio sound, compositions and cultural influence of the Fab Four. The role of Liverpool in shaping the Beatlemania will be an added attraction. If you’re a day tripper wanting rock and roll music for eight days a week, then do take a ticket to ride on the yellow submarine for the magical mystery tour.\n\nBud, you must sign up for this 4-year course only if you believe in the spirit of ‘It’s your life, make it large’. Presented by Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, the BSc is designed to educate you about the malting, brewing and distilling industries by providing a barrel full of know how on the processes involved from cereal farming to bottling and packaging. If that sounds like a heady mix, the baccalaureate is sure to give you a high.\n\nDiploma with a Major in Magic\n\nImagine learning sleight of hand, close-up magic, stage magic, magic with animals, illusion engineering and the allied arts of juggling, ventriloquism, mime and clowning in 6 years flat. College of Magic in Cape Town, South Africa, makes the impossible, possible, by offering a residential programme. It’s strictly for those who relish the prospect of playing Quidditch on their flying brooms.\n\nBachelor of Arts in Sexual Studies\n\nNot for the prudes. Ohio State University’s stand alone program delivers penetrative insights into topics spanning sex in the ancient world, sexual functions and reproduction, intimate relationships, queer studies, and the role of fornication in films, literature and culture. Gurus who master the course — intercourse would be more appropriate — have the potential to emerge as the next Dr. Prakash Kothari or Dr. Matrubootham.\n\nDeath is a life and death matter for Morticians. In case you have a morbid interest in knowing the tricks of their trade, Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, allows you to acquire all the skills associated with Mortuary Science including arranging of the funeral, preparation of the deceased, running a mortuary and marketing of funeral services. Spoiler Alert: Keeping in mind the graveyard shifts and the need to physically interact with the departed, this is not exactly a course to die for"

"This means that God will be present wherever Satsaṅga takes place. God told that He will sit wherever His devotees praise God (Tatra tiṣṭhāmi Nārada). Jesus also told that He will be present wherever two or three devotees assemble on His name. This means that the association for discussion must be a limited number of qualitative devotees, which is middle path between a large number of devotees and thinking alone without a second person, which are the two extreme ends like flood and drought.\n\nToo many devotees will spoil because someone spiritually immature devotee will stand up desiring to leave the Satsaṅga telling that he has to go to market to purchase vegetables. This will pollute other minds to think that they are wasting time in unnecessary discussions without attending important worldly works and as a result the concentration on God disappears, which means that God will quit that Satsaṅga.\n\nTo Be Continued...\nGo to the following website and read the divine knowledge from there,"

"Lola smoothed her hands over the royal blue square neck sheath dress draped across her curvy body. It was the first time she’d worn cap sleeves. She always thought the cut made her arms look big, but Michelle assured her that she looked fierce. Her shoulder-length, brown hair was swept into a messy bun with wisps framing her face. Running late, she’d grabbed her black tortoiseshell glasses instead of contact lenses.\n\nIn need of an extra boost of confidence since getting off on the wrong foot, Lola made sure that her hair, makeup, and outfit were firing on all cylinders. She peeped down at her blush Ferragamo pumps. From the moment she’d spotted them in a magazine, she’d loved them. She’d commented to her mother how beautiful they were.\n\nLola was genuinely surprised months later when her mother, Maggie Samuels, presented them on her birthday.\n\n“Mom, these shoes are almost half the rent on my apartment.”\n\n“Yes, they are,” her mother had observed with a wide smile. “But you’re our only daughter, who else do we have to spoil?”\n\nLola couldn’t argue with that logic. Besides, she didn’t want to. She loved her parents. She loved her shoes. Though she’d only worn them three times, this being the third. She knew it was crazy, but she always felt like nobody could say no to her when she wore them. She called them her Cinderella heels.\n\nThe intercom buzzed on her desk phone.\n\nA moment later, she ushered Dro through the door. Jess stood aside as he sauntered in.\n\nLola was standing by the window, so she had to walk across the full length of her office. He didn’t appear to be in a hurry, so she took her time, too. It gave her time to appreciate how good he looked dressed in a dark gray suit, blue and white striped shirt, a dark blue silk tie, and black shoes. He exuded so much masculinity he could’ve poured it into a cup.\n\nHer assistant gazed at him, and then to Lola. She mouthed the words, “Oh my gosh.” Held her hand to her forehead as though taking her temperature and faked a swoon.\n\nLola had to work hard not to burst out laughing. She gave her assistant a stern stare before she said, “Thank you, Jess.”\n\n“My pleasure, Miss Samuels. Shall I hold all your calls?” She asked, trying to linger.\n\n“Of course,” she stressed before turning to leave. She stopped short, almost throwing herself off-balance in the process. “Would you care for some coffee, Mr. Reyes? We also have tea, soda, bottled water?”\n\nHe turned around and gave Jess his full consideration. Lola noticed that her assistant looked as though she would truly pass out from his undivided attention.\n\nHer assistant stood there a full three seconds as if she’d forgotten her name.\n\n“Hmm? Oh, sorry about that.” She blushed and laughed at herself as she hightailed it out of the room, closing the door behind her.\n\nLola could understand Jess’ momentary lapse of professionalism. It had been a while since she’d seen him in person. If at all possible, her memory hardly did him justice. Even with her heels, he was taller, and she was five feet, ten inches.\n\nIt also caused her a little embarrassment to know that her dream Dro was almost spot on with the man in person. His dimples, the flecks of gold in his brown eyes, even his luscious mane of thick, jet black hair was jaw-dropping.\n\nLola had to keep her hands fisted at her sides to stave off the desire to touch the wisps of hair falling across his forehead.\n\nHe had the kind of looks that caused a woman to place a hand over her heart without even being aware she’d done it. And his voice only added to his appeal. Dro never rushed to do anything, especially not to speak. He was reserved, and always calculating with his words. And he had the fiercest poker face she’d ever seen. He never gave away what he was thinking. He was notorious for it.\n\nConnect with Lisa on:\n\nFollow Queenie's BookTalk and Reviews on WordPress.com\nJoin 81 other subscribers"

"Elon Musk Believes He May Die Under “Mysterious Circumstances”\n\nWorld’s richest man Elon Musk has sent social media into a frenzy with his recent Twitter post on his death.\n\nIt is not clear what triggered Elon Musk to uploaded such a tweet, but, taking to his Twitter handle, the businessman wrote:\n\nIf I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya.\n\nIf I die under mysterious circumstances, it’s been nice knowin ya\n\nResponding to the tweet, some of his followers asked questions like “why would that happen?” while some offered to help him in any possible way.\n\nSome tweeps said the world needs Elon Musk to address some of the critical problems it is facing like hunger and war.\n\nHowever, some even joked that if Elon Musk dies, they would want a share on some of his money.\n\nBelow are some of the responses to the tweet.\n\nThis is too much. If you are going to lead…. lead. Stop with the drama. Now shift your focus back to how we can help the planet, the Ukrainians, and the vulnerable among us who weren’t born into wealth, health, and prosperity. Focus. Lead. Or just be quiet.\n\nWe must protect you at all costs.\n\nHumanity is counting on you.\n\nWhat happened? Are you okay?\nFeel free to contact me in case you need anything.\n\nA few days ago, New York Times came under fire for publishing a “hit piece”, claiming that because of his “white privilege” growing up in Apartheid South Africa, Elon Musk is indifferent to racism.\n\nThe American publication added that this could have a bearing on his content moderation policies once he takes control of Twitter. Elon Musk had promised to allow more expression on the social media platform once his takeover is complete later this year.\n\nTwitter users questioned if it was Musk’s fault that he was born during an era of segregation in South Africa.\n\n“Impregnate Her!” – Twitter Reacts As Mr Smeg And Gigi Lamayne Kiss On Their Date\n\nNew York Times Under Fire For Claiming That Elon Musk Is…"

"Punches to the mouth and kicks to the crotch are what gets the blood flowing each morning for the lolcow’s. And the apathetic’s and willful ignorant’s supply an endless amount of asses to be kicked, with the boot of government shysters and hyena’s providing anus intrusion.\n\nIt’s good to be ignorant, right?\n\nCastrations ensue, and for those don’t have balls, there is the guillotine that looms before us all.\n\nIt’s a game of pretending nothing is wrong as the masses queue up for their final tank. Total ignorance, in the end, won’t be a plea that is considered as we meet our maker.\n\nGetting our spleen’s ruptured each day via belief in a cornholio shit show will not appease the gods, either. Adherence to supremacy of stupidity won’t cut the cheese each day – mass deception continues. The gods of shitf**kery laugh hysterically.\n\nBut God, Mother Earth or the committee of dolphins who started this magnificence keep pleading for homo sapiens to stop listening to the cancers ruling over us; and they provide the cure to these cancers with common sense, a gift given to all, of which nearly all have given up, preferring the boot from these cancers up their ass.\n\nThoughts on a Corona Thereafter: “Do you remember a Winter without a cold?” – via 21stcenturywire.com\n\nIn the context of the current overwhelming worldwide COVID-19 panic wave, this text has as goal to provide, on a differentiated scientific basis, a different view of the corona crisis than the one still dominantly presented in the mainstream media and used by many governments and their experts to maintain protection measures imposed on whole populations.\n\nScientific data as well as propositions based on them will be presented, bringing together what many scientists, medical doctors, economists and lawyers have already claimed in the past months. The panic wave and the subsequent scaremongering have not allowed until today that these voices be heard sufficiently. The present specific contribution will concern the potentially deleterious and even fatal role of emotions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nCommon cold viruses invade the planet every year causing multiple, dominantly benign yearly “pandemics” (using like Dr. Kettner the term pandemic to define a worldwide viral distribution, without consideration of its dangerousness). They produce indeed, in a high majority (up to 99.5%) of their infections, either zero or mild symptoms like a sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, cough, sneeze or headache.\n\nThey represent the most common human infectious disease, adults having typically two to three infections per year, and children even more. Over 200 virus types are implicated, the main ones being rhino-, corona-, adeno- and enteroviruses as well as influenza, parainfluenza, human respiratory syncytial and metapneumoviruses. They can become dangerous mainly for frail, sick and old individuals, and their lethality can go as high as 8% in nursing homes (Ioannidis).\n\nLike the influenza virus, they mutate regularly to counteract the protection gained by the human population thanks to its immunization. Common cold and influenza viruses produce respiratory tract infections (RTI), which are fatal for 2.6 million human beings per year worldwide (Roussel).\n\n1. Corona viruses are one of the viral agents of the common cold, which, just like the flu, invade the whole planet every year. They cause largely widespread, mostly benign, yearly pandemics of respiratory tract infections.\n\n2. COVID-19, the infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, the current corona mutation, is not more lethal than the flu, with a 0.1-0.2% infection fatality rate.\n\n3. An immense majority (95%) of fatal evolutions happen in old and frail individuals with premorbidities, with an average age of death at or above 80 years old.\n\n4. Antibody studies, cross immunization with other corona strains and the completion of the death toll curve in many countries are strong evidence that the human population is developing herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2. In this context, a severe “second wave” for SARS-CoV-2 is improbable. We may rather expect a new cold episode from it just like every year, but of regular or even weak intensity thanks to the gained herd immunity.\n\n5. PCR testing of SARS-CoV-2 presence does not give any reliable prognostic evidence of its infectious power and lethality. The monitoring of the pandemic state and evolution is given only by the daily evolution of fatalities. In Switzerland as in many other countries, there is no longer any excess mortality attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Positive test rate is low (around 3%), and tests have as always a technical false positive rate and react to inactive viral fragments or to other corona strains.\n\n6. Only in a small percentage of COVID-19 patients, the SARS-CoV-2 virus may, like the flu virus, activate an immunological and inflammatory overresponse, causing at worst fatal pulmonary organ failure.\n\nStress and emotions like fear, anger and sadness may 1) stimulate this overresponse, 2) cause cell death in the emotional brain and 3) trigger therein deleterious overactivities, with resulting cell damages in body tissues.\n\nGeneral isolation, distancing and lockdown measures, by limiting social contacts, freedom and basic human rights, add to the death toll through an upsurge of psychosocial and economic destabilization, worsening of psychiatric and demented individuals and reduction of medical care to the whole population. We have thus a combined causality for an excess mortality of COVID-19, a significant part of it being not due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself but to the worldwide COVID-19 panic wave and the imposed introduction of drastic and inhumane measures.\n\n7. We are not facing the feared planetary killer virus, in spite of the inappropriate initial message of the WHO and different experts. The presented data speak for an urgent stop of all general lockdown, distancing and isolation measures. The world should revert back to the appropriate, routinely applied approach to respiratory viruses: to keep optimal protection measures for the old, frail and sick, as we have all learned to do year after year against the flu.\n\n8. Common cold (and flu) viruses are ubiquitous in space (on the whole planet) and time (year after year). They are thus unavoidable, but cause fortunately mostly benign infections. We just need to protect specifically the populations at risk when a viral wave gets stronger than usual.\n\nRead the full version of this article here.\n\nText updated and expanded from the contribution “Think deep, do good science and do not panic!”, by D. Jeanmonod, R. Jeanmonod and F. Neirynck, published by off-guardian.org on April 7th 2020.\n\n“If, then, I were asked for the most important advice I could give, that which I considered to be the most useful to the men of our century, I should simply say: in the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”\n― Leo Tolstoy, Essays, Letters and Miscellanies"

"It is 50 years since the Wiltshire town of Warminster, 15 miles west of Stonehenge, first became a centre of pilgrimage for British UFO watchers.",
null,
"As flying saucerers gather for a convention and skywatch to mark the anniversary of the mysterious ‘Warminster Thing‘, this extract from my book, How UFOs Conquered the World, explains the genesis of this modern legend:\n\nDuring the late 1960s, on weekends and bank holidays, the 11,000 population of Warminster was swelled by hundreds of UFO enthusiasts. Pilgrims were forced to camp in fields as there were not enough hotels. As night fell the hills around the town were thronged with expectant sky-watchers all hoping for a personal sighting of ‘The Warminster Thing’.\n\nThey were undaunted by the fact that one of the key skywatch locations, Cradle Hill, sat alongside the largest military training zone in the UK. Large areas of Salisbury Plain are used by the British Army for weapons testing and many square miles are closed to the public even today.\n\nThe Warminster phenomena began late in December 1964 when a curious news item appeared in the weekly newspaper, The Warminster Journal. A woman on her way to church early on Christmas morning was startled by an unearthly sound like ‘branches being pulled over gravel’. This was followed by an eerie droning sound.",
null,
"One week later, the town’s postmaster came forward to say he heard a similar bone-chilling aerial noise. This prompted an ‘amateur scientist’, David Holton, to sent a long letter to the paper. Holton claimed the mysterious noise had been heard for years and had once ‘disturbed a flock of pigeons from their roost’. The birds flew across its path in terror, many dropping dead to the ground.\n\nQuizzed about this sensational story on a local TV news bulletin, Holton said he believed ‘The Thing’ came from outer space (a reference to the 1951 science fiction thriller, The Thing from Another World). It was only a matter of time before the source of the noise showed itself.\n\nBy the spring of 1965 stories about unexplained sounds were replaced by sightings of ‘bright, cigar-shaped objects’ in the sky. A bright light, dubbed the ‘amber gambler’, roamed the hills above the town. As rumours spread Elwyn Rees, chairman of the town council, called a public meeting ‘to allay fears that the happenings were a danger to the Earth’.\n\nOn Friday 27 August 1965, just before the Bank Holiday, two hundred residents squeezed into the Town Hall Assembly Room. Hundreds more gathered outside. Inside, John Cleary-Baker, the Chairman of the British UFO Research Association, the UK’s premier UFO society, reassured townsfolk they had nothing to fear from their visitors. They should ‘welcome their arrival in the sky’. He went on to link UFOs with fashionable New Age ideas about ley lines and suggested aliens could be using an ancient earthwork nearby as a ‘homing beacon’.",
null,
"Six people at the meeting declared they had seen ‘The Thing’ but only four of these were Warminster residents. The debate almost descended into farce when Rees was handed an urgent telegram. He opened it and found a message that read: ‘Investigations completed. Invasion fears are unfounded [Signed] Dr Who.’\n\nThe public meeting failed to untangle fact from fiction but attracted TV cameras and national media to the town. Local businesses were overjoyed. Hotelier Hugh McLaren told reporters ‘this could do us as much good as the Loch Ness Monster did for Scotland.’\n\nThe Warminster Thing might have been quickly forgotten after the summer ‘silly season’ was over. The man who ensured it continued to run was Arthur Shuttlewood who, at the time, was chief reporter for the town’s newspaper. He kept the rumours alive in a stream of articles for the Journal. By the summer of 1966 Warminster was firmly planted on the map as the place to see UFOs.",
null,
"‘As a local journalist I have to report every item of news as it comes in and this was such extraordinary news,’ he told the BBC documentary Pie in the Sky. ‘Reputable people were coming forward: the head postmaster of the town, a vicar and his three children, a hospital matron, an army major who said his car was virtually stopped in its tracks at 40 mph. These sorts of people have to be trusted for their integrity’.\n\nShuttlewood depicted himself as a hard-bitten, cynical journalist. But his cynicism and objectivity evaporated when he went looking for UFOs. He attributed this conversion to personal experiences with ‘The Thing’. Shuttlewood had lost the sight in one eye following a wartime accident. But despite this disability he saw UFOs on average twice every week and went on to rack up a total of 800 ‘experiences’. He told the BBC: ‘When one sees for oneself that’s it. Nothing will deter you from your absolute belief from that moment onwards’.\n\nIn 1968 he published a book, The Warminster Mystery. This was the first in a series that combined colourful accounts of his and others’ sightings with new age mysticism. Shuttlewood was a deeply religious man and believed UFOs were a sign of the approaching apocalypse. He had a way with words and quickly became a media celebrity. Visitors to Warminster regarded him as a kind of saucer guru and sought him out to experience UFO magic.",
null,
"Night after night he could be found on the hills above the town, skywatching with groups of visitors from across Britain and the world. One of his promises was that ‘if you stand on Cley Hill from around 9.30 at night you’ll see something unusual by midnight’. By 1967 Warminster’s reputation as the UK’s UFO spotting capital was at its height…\n\nSeasoned UFO-watcher Kevin Goodman summarises the origins of the mystery for BBC Wiltshire here (this magazine item includes a link to the 1966 documentary Pie in the Sky).\n\nKevin also maintains the UFO Warminster website and Facebook group. Two excellent recent books on the phenomenon are Steve Dewey and John Ries In Alien Heat and Dewey and Goodman’s History of a Mystery."

"“If you are interested in the use of graphic art and communication in political struggles, don’t miss the latest issue of Signal, which has just come out. The first issue appeared in 2010, and for the last few months Amazon has been sending status updates saying that the new issue would be later than expected. The publishers must have unjammed the logs, though, and in the end it arrived early.\n\nI can’t think of any other design or visual arts publication quite like Signal in form and content. “Journal” is exactly the right word here because Signal, published by PM Press in Oakland, California, is half way between a magazine and a book in appearance and tone. Its dinky size, combined with astutely pitched, matt-laminated cover designs, make it immediately intriguing and attractive. The page design is poised between scholarly seriousness and newsstand techniques of appeal. Signal is generously illustrated and would be rewarding merely to browse, but everything about it says: read this (because it will be a pleasure).”\n\nExcerpt from an article written by Rick Poynor at Design Observer.

"When will my case settle?\n\nWhen will I get compensation for my injuries?\n\nWhen will my case close?\n\nThese are just a few of the most common questions that our lawyers are asked at our firm. They are very good questions to say the least. It’s entirely understandable when an inncocent, injured accident victim would want to know when their case will close and when they will receive compensation for their injuries. Living with a looming legal case over your head; having to worry about surveillance, medical appointments with insurance doctors; attending at discovery; attending at Court is all very worrying and taxing to one’s psyche.\n\nFor you and the insurance company, a closed file is a good file. And for innocent accident victims, settling their case helps bring a sense of closure and finality to the case; so that they can close that chapter of their lives; and move on the next. Our lawyers often see a catharsis and sense of relief; light a large weight/burden is being taken off a client’s shoulders once a case is closed and settled.\n\nSo, if there are so many positive elements to closing or settling one’s file; then WHY DOES IT TAKE SO DARN LONG TO DO SO?!?!?!\n\nMany elements in personal injury litigation are ENTIRELY OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. Many elements are also out of control of the lawyers as well. Don’t beleive me? Take a look at some of the examples below which emphasize my point:\n\n1. There is a lack of judicial resources to hear your personal injury case. There is a lack of Court Room space. There is a lack of Court Clerks to process your case. There is a lack of Judges to hear your case in a speedy manner. If our law firm were to set your case down for trial in Toronto, London, Newmarket or Brampton today (June 11, 2014), the trial would likely be heard some time in 2016! The same principals do NOT apply to family law or criminal law. This is seen particularly in civil law (car accident/injury law), because money to award people compensation for being wrong or hurt can wait. Human justice in criminal cases (people serving jail time) along with family compensation (think child support and spousal support obligations) are far more important for the Courts to deal with. The Court’s resources are more focused in these areas, than they are in Civil law. Go to Court in Cobourg or Guelph. There’s ONE BIG COURT ROOM. First they hear Criminal Matters. Followed by Family Law Cases. Then followed by Civil matters such as those personal injury cases.\n\n3. Here’s the reality of personal injury law. THERE’S A LOT OF PAPERWORK that needs to be requested, reviewed, processed, bound, analyzed, read and re-read. Even in a paperless law office where every document is scanned; all of those documents start as PAPER. All of that paper work needs to come from somewhere. Whether it’s the police, a doctor’s office or a hospital. Collecting all of that data also takes time. Our law firm requested an OHIP Summary from the Ontario Ministry of Health sometime in 2013. It took 10 months for the OHIP record to be produced! this wait time is not uncommon for such records. Hospitals and doctors can also be notoriously slow. This contributes to delays and slowdowns in personal injury cases.\n\n4. It takes two to tango! If the insurance company does not want to offer you fair compensation for your case, then it won’t settle. You will have to wait until your number is called by the Court which is a very long time. I’ve already mentioned about the delays in our Court system. Insurers will use these inherent delays in the system to their advantage to let the case lag on hoping that you will slip up; or even suffer from some life altering event which may change to nature of your claim (death, another accident, cancer etc.). Your case become much more difficult to prove and less compelling of you can’t take the witness stand.\n\n5. The strength of your case along with the complexity of the claim have a big impact on settlement. If you’re involved in a multi party dispute, then the insurer will not likely want to settle with just one party, and leave the other cases wide open. The cases will likely need to be settled together, and certainly tried together by the Court. It takes a lot of time to co-ordinate the cases to make sure that they’re running on the same page. Ever try booking an appointment for 2 opposing lawyers, 1 insurance adjuster and 2 accident victims for the same day? It’s tough. Now try multiplying that number by 3 and you’re booking a settlement meeting well in to 2016.",
null,
"6. My last point, and probably one of the most important points to consider is that insurers are NOT in the business of paying people out money. Insurers are in the business of risk management, investing money and MAKING MONEY. The more money they pay out on your claim, and the quicker that money is paid out, the less money they have to report in profits or the less money they can invest and collect interest on. If insurers just paid every claim out right away at top dollar, then they wouldn’t exist. Take Intact Insurance. They’re a publicly traded corporation which trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Their stock symbol is IFC. As of the date of writing this Toronto Injury Lawyer Blog Post, their stock price was $73.99/share. The 52 week low was $56.44. The 52 week high was $74.37. They’ve increased their dividend per share every year since 2005. They are in the business of MAKING MONEY for their share holders and CEO. The more money and the quicker they pay out your claim, the less MONEY they make for themselves. That’s what it’s about for insurers. Once you understand that it’s nothing personal, the better you will understand how insurers view your claim. You will also be able to better understand the system and how personal injury claims are processed and viewed by insurers.\n\nEnough law talk? Sure. On to Ontario’s provincial election #ONpoli. My friends in Northern Ontario tell me that their roads are paved with Orange signs. Based on my travels to Southwestern Ontario and Peterborough, I’ve seen lots of red and blue. The same goes for Toronto and the surrouding GTA.\n\nI’ve gotta tell you. This race for Ontario’s leadership is too close to call. I’m predicting a minority government for either the Liberals or the Conservatives. I will go out on a limb and predict that Tea Party Tim Hudak becomes the next Premier of Ontario with a minority PC Government. The Liberals in a VERY close second. Wynne stays aboard as leader of the Liberals to manage the opposition (who really wants that job). Hudak as a minority leading premier can’t get anything done. Another election is called. Instability and name calling ensues. I also predict that with a Minority Conservative government that funds are used to call out the Liberals on the gas plant and the Ornge scandals to further discredit them.\n\nI really thought that with the election called, this was a great opportunity for the NDP to make some headway. They didn’t. I don’t know if was on account of a lack of a proper party platform or a lack of funds. I just don’t think that their campaign had the drive or direction to make an impact.\n\nBut tommorrow is election day. And you never know. We could all wake up Friday morning to a Green Party Government.\n\nNo matter your political allegiances, get out there and excercise your right to vote."

"We've seen very few fully-submerged PCs over the years, for the simple reason that it's incredibly tricky to pull off such a feat. This hasn't stopped forum user RabidCicada from giving it a damn good shot, though. Since joining our forum and posting his project in October last year, work on the RabidCicada Mineral Oil Computer has now progressed to the stage where we can take a closer look at it in Mod of the Month.",

"Early renders show what appears to be a fairly compact design, which has been well reinforced to cope with the huge weight of the oil, while also providing a leak-proof seal between the joints.",

"The cutting was soon under way, with RabidCicada making the clear panels that would comprise most of the case. The project log is very well documented too - so much so that it provides a very good place to start if you want to make a submerged PC yourself.",

"Thankfully, RabidCicada has a team of people to help, which is just as well, as they appear to be doing a critical job in the above image. The result is the completion of a major step in the project, with the main frame and clear panels now forming one piece.",

"The next step is to provide a way of mounting the hardware, and RabidCicada has mounted everything on a slide-tray to make removing the hardware as easy as possible. This means that the coolant won't have to be drained if any of the hardware needs to be removed - great stuff.\n\nIt's not often we see such a system being built, so make sure you follow the project over on RabidCicada's project log. You can vote for RabidCicada (Mineral Oil Computer) in our forum.",

"?Having only mustered a draw away at Borussia Dortmund in their midweek Champions League fixture, Barcelona travel to Granada in La Liga on Saturday.\n\nThe title holders have made an average start to their league campaign, amassing seven points from four games, lingering three points behind league leaders Sevilla in fifth.",
null,
"Granada are level on points with Ernesto Valverde’s men, having won back-to-back games, and should be optimistic of taking something from the match.\n\n?Lionel Messi could make his first start of the season, having returned to action on Tuesday from the bench in a tie dominated by ?Dortmund.\n\nLeft-back Jordi Alba pulled his hamstring in the same game and should be out of action for a few weeks, while ?Ousmane Dembele is close a comeback.\n\nDefender Samuel Umtiti is expected to remain sidelined for at least another month with a foot problem.",
null,
"Granada, meanwhile, are without as many as four players – Alex Martinez, Neyder Lozano, Yan Brice and Fede Vico.\n\n?Barcelona have, unsurprisingly, dominated this fixture historically, with Granada only managing to not lose once – a 1-0 win over the Catalans in 2014, courtesy of a Yacine Brahimi goal.\n\n? Valverde: “Messi played well against Dortmund, despite having been out for a while. We hope that as he gets more minutes, he gives us a lot -like he always has.” pic.twitter.com/BFnyNgiP0f\n\nThe last time the two sides met – back in 2017 – Barcelona ran out 4-1 winners, with goals from ?Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic, ?Neymar and Paco Alcacer.\n\nBarcelona have made a slow start to the season without their talismanic figure Messi, losing on the opening day to Aritz Aduriz’s incredible effort for Athletic Bilbao and only drawing with Osasuna.\n\n5-2 wins over Real Betis and Valencia have been more convincing, but their goalless draw at the Westfalenstadion in midweek was uninspiring – they were fortunate not to lose.",
null,
"?Granada, on the other hand, have performed well thus far since their promotion to the Spanish top flight, picking up seven points from their three games on the road.\n\n?Granada should be optimistic heading into this one, while Barcelona will be aware that they cannot afford to drop any further points at such an early stage of the season.\n\nGranada have been better away from home, however, and a returning Messi should rejuvenate this Barcelona side.\n\nExpect the main man to make the difference once more."

"In southeastern Turkey, you'll find black Urfa chili (or its uncured red variety) on almost every table. It's delicious on kebabs and other grilled meats and veggies, cooked into stews and chilis, in salad dressings, sprinkled on fluffy scrambled eggs, and even mixed into brownies and other chocolate desserts for a little extra depth and a hint of heat.\n\nIt's been getting some attention - here's what some folks have to say about it:\n\n“It’s amazing! As a chef, I really get inspired by it.\" Chef Bill Telepan, Oceana\n\n\"They've got these beautiful cocoa- and raisin-like flavors, they're lightly smoky, and they bring a lot of cool things to beer... as well as to poached eggs.\" Bryan Selders, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery\n\nBlack Urfa Chili starts out as a red, sweet and spicy pepper almost identical to the more famous Aleppo pepper. It's grown in the hills around the ancient Turkish city of Urfa, where the hot, dry days, cold nights and sandy soil are part of its unique terroir. After harvesting, it's cured in the sun, where it changes color from red to black and develops its characteristic flavor profile, reminiscent of chocolate and dried fruits, with a lingering burn. It goes through a final stone-grinding step, ground into flakes between massive granite wheels with a little bit of sea salt and sunflower seed oil.The oil helps preserve its natural texture and flavor and prevents it from drying out (and is delicious too!)\n\nMeet the Farmer: Bekir Bey is a chili pepper farmer just outside the city of Urfa, and he was out picking peppers today in blazing 104-degree heat. He and his family cultivate about 12 acres of chili peppers, almost all of which will be cut up, fermented and ground into the famous black Urfa chili flakes. They spend about 10 months of the year planning, planting, tending, watering and harvesting these very special chili peppers. The combination of pepper variety (same as an Aleppo/silk chili), sandy soil, hot dry climate and very particular fermentation method all come together to create a pepper unlike any other in the world.\n\nFacebookTwitter\nBe the first to review this item\nFilter Reviews:\n×\nClear filters\nMore Filters\nA\n10/13/2020\nAnonymous\n\nWe buy it in the bulk size. It’s become the essential ingredient for a late night dinner favorite: angel hair pasta, with olive oil, a bit of sea salt and urfa chili. Yum!\n\nSo excited to find this company and these incredible spices to take my love of food and cooking to another level ! Thanks ! Quality and selection are amazing\n\nUnited States\nI put it everywhere\n\nIt adds depth and warmth to everything.\n\nUnited States\nThe Kick I'm adding to everything!\n\nI added this to my order as an experiment. It's a warm, smoky (but not too smoky) chili with a depth of flavor I didn't expect. I've been adding it to everything from sautéed veggies to sourdough rye dinner rolls. I'm going to have to restock faster than I thought. :)"

"Disclaimer: I received an entry to the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k Dallas to review as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!\n\nIf you’re a runner, you’ve definitely heard of the Hot Chocolate 15k Race Series presented by Ram Racing. They have multiple locations across the country, and I’m super excited, and blessed, that there’s a local one here in Dallas.\n\nThe race that motivated me to start running many moons ago was the Hot Chocolate 5k, and I eventually did complete it. In my years running it after that, two other times to be exact, I have run the 15k and have enjoyed the extra challenge, and medal. This year I had planned to run the 15k, but my hip had very very different plans and I’m okay with that.",
null,
"So with each registration every runner receive the signature Hot Chocolate jacket, and a nice colorful bib representing your distance and start coral. In addition you got access to the expo which included various vendors and lots of chocolate related goodies. The only downside to the expo is the location, downtown Dallas area and traffic was insane if you have to wait until you’re done working to go down there, and it’s $5 for parking. I absolutely hate paying for parking. You do have the option to have your packet mailed to you for $15, but I didn’t sign up in time for that. Also, if you have any changes you need to make (in my case it was still printing a corral related to the 15k so I needed that fixed), you need to do that at the expo.",
null,
null,
"But overall, quick, and easy experience in the expo.\n\nRace morning traffic was just as I expected from previous years, maybe even a little better this year. However, for the first time in my four times running this race, they had an additional lot that was technically across the street that they had us feed into. Positive side, we were the first line in so it was open parking and I got a good spot close to the entrance of the lot. Downside… it’s really far. It’s always a hike to get there anyways, but it was basically like being in the back since you walked past all of the other lots the normally use. Every year I tell myself to record the walk to the start because it’s so long, and it came in at quite the distance of over a mile each way.",
null,
null,
"So if you were doing the 15k, might as well run two more miles and have a half done for the day.\n\nAnyways, the Hot Chocolate team knows how to run a race. There were plenty of pre-race activities, photo ops, and very large signage to make everything easy to find. The only thing I don’t understand is why the 15k starts way after the 5k… Like an hour and fifteen minutes later. I would think the longer distance would go first. But whatever, it’s not my race. It benefited me because I got to get in out faster.",
null,
"Now… hear me out. There’s nothing spectacular in regards to the scenery about this course. Absolutely nothing. In fact you run under two overpasses that had two recently homeless sites removed. Very pretty… but you know it is what it is… just motivation to run faster. There was one water stop that also included Nuun, and of course chocolate.",
null,
"Once you get to the end of the race you’re greeted with water, and new this year, and nice 5k finishers medal.",
null,
"After that, you could take more photos, including one that would display your time (I didn’t want to wait in line because my hip was not happy), and of course the line to the signature bowl of snacks.",
null,
null,
"After that, it was time for the extended mile walk back to the car. Again, traffic was easy and very well controlled, and it was the end of what I would call a very successful first race of 2020. The best part, I already had my race pictures before I got back to the car, and a few more arrived throughout the day.",
null,
null,
"I will always recommend this race to those who are just looking to go out and have a great time, and/or to run with family or friends."

"Can You Imagine That!?\n\nIts turned cold again, and you all know how I hate the cold! Maybe I’m just not ‘fat enough’ but it seems to go right through me.\n\nQuite apart from that, I’m having to wear sandals at the moment (because of my foot) which doesn’t exactly help the temperature. But apart from moaning about the English climate, I am OK. A lot of people a lot worse off than myself and at least I’ve got a roof over my head (and one which does not leak anymore!).\n\nSo, what’s news? Nothing really – at least nothing too significant. Two public events coming up almost imminently now, but nothing I can’t handle without any preparation. This is really true, actually. I never prepare for talks or anything like that – I don’t have to when all the facts are in my head. Of course, there’s always the very human inclination to sensationalise or exaggerate things (especially when it comes to such things as ‘ghosts’!) but then there’s really no need to; all that’s necessary to do really, is just tell the truth. People can then just ‘take it or leave it’; whatever, it then becomes their problem, not mine.\n\nTalking of which, I made a very useful contact at the Kensington Talk I did on Oct 30th for Halloween. I met a guy there who was a book publisher (his own company) and he approached me afterwards to say he was interested in the next book. Said he’d like to take 50 copies for sale and distribution as he’d seen how popular my other books had been on the Internet. I offered to deliver them ‘sale or return’, but he said to just send him an invoice as he knew these would go. I forgot it really, but he phoned me this afternoon to confirm the publication date (which I obviously told him). That was a bit of good news; especially as it coincided with the moment I was right in the middle of one of the last chapters!\n\nDidn’t really feel hungry today, but I managed to buy some ‘reduced muck’ from the store. It was horrible! But I made myself eat it. I just get funny when it comes to food. My usual policy is, if I’m not hungry, I just don’t eat. But I suddenly realized today that I’d had nothing substantial for about 4 days, so I thought I’d better buy something. Well, the packet didn’t look too bad, but when I tasted it, it was awful!\n\nAnd that’s all the boring news, really. Book nearly finished; then its just finishing off the next one. And then, a break! Then a few weeks of interrupted bliss – can you imagine that?!\n\nFor the moment everyone, David",

"But Texas has no patients just yet, a signal that the state’s elaborate hurdles are blocking consumers from accessing marijuana-derived medicine even if it’s a cannabidiol product low in THC.\n\n“We expected that it’s going to take a while to get off the ground, and that is what’s happening,” said Scott Klenet, a spokesman for Knox Medical, one of three licensed marijuana growers in Texas.\n\nScott Klenet, a spokesman for Knox Medical,The company has a delivery-only business in Schulenburg, about 75 miles southeast of Austin.\n\nRoot of the problem\n\nThe drug is available only to people with intractable epilepsy, and two neurologists must sign off and say that traditional treatments have failed before a patient can access CBD.\n\nThe finished treatment can’t exceed 10% THC by weight or 0.5% THC, a threshold unique to Texas.\n\nThe state does not prescribe a THC limit for cannabis plants grown to produce the treatment.\n\nTexas currently has just 11 doctors who have volunteered to join the registry, a requirement for recommending physicians. That’s a slight improvement from late 2017, when fewer than 10 doctors participated.\n\nStill, when Texas’ CBD program opened for business on Jan. 1, not a single patient was eligible to buy marijuana-derived CBD.\n\nTexas’ CBD patient count may be forever a mystery because of medical privacy laws.\n\nBecause marijuana is still listed as a Schedule 1 drug on the federal level, physicians aren’t allowed to prescribe it.\n\nDoctors in states where full-strength medical marijuana is legal can “recommend” cannabis treatments, and those recommendations can be counted and reported to the public.\n\nTexas, however, calls for physicians to “prescribe” CBD, making it a violation of medical privacy laws to report the number of prescriptions.\n\nCBD entrepreneurs in Texas are surprisingly optimistic the market will improve, though.\n\n“I think we’re getting to the point where it’s about to get real,” said Morris Denton, CEO of Compassionate Cultivation, another licensed Texas marijuana grower.\n\nCompassionate Cultivations has a marijuana-derived CBD oil ready for sale, but no patients to sell it to.\n\n“We’re ready to see whether existing regulations are a hindrance or an avenue to getting medicine,” Denton said.\n\nTexas’ cannabis activists say the slow rollout of the state’s CBD law may inspire lawmakers to expand the program when they return to work in 2019.\n\nThe Texas Legislature does not meet in 2018, meaning the current law will stand for months.\n\n“While there are plenty of shortcomings to the program, it is still a very exciting time in Texas,” said Heather Fazio, Texas political director for the Marijuana Policy Project.\n\nFazio pointed out that the Texas House has already agreed to expand patient access, though the changes didn’t make it to the governor’s desk.\n\nShe predicted 2019 legislation may expand the number of qualifying conditions.\n\n“We’re looking forward to keeping that momentum up during the interim and updating the program for patients who are being left behind,” Fazio said."

"There are many interior design styles people share here, from Scandinavian and Japanese austere, breezy California coastal, shabby chic thrifted, and the various accompanying tags #minimalist #coastalliving #cottagecore #grannycore and so on…Ours resembles none of the above. We live in an old house that was never in good shape from the beginning, and while we did what we could with it, there’s always something else to be done. I’ve mentioned the ceiling leak into our sitting room from our upstairs bathroom before, and when we had it repaired last summer, we knew the fix might only be temporary. It lasted a year before the re-patched corroded pipes began leaking again. So this year, we bit the bullet and the bathroom pipes will be totally replaced. Figured we may as well replace the toilet while we’re at it (leak is from sink and tub, not to worry!), so we’ve had the boxes with the replacement toilet and tank sitting in our space, along with the 5 gallon bucket we keep handy for leaks. We’re pretty used to it after it being here for several weeks now, and the boxes make serviceable end tables. The black plastic bucket — it sort of blends in anyway. Meanwhile since the plumber’s going to be here, we’re also going to replace the laundry sink he installed in the kitchen for us last summer when we had to replace that on short notice. The three basin restaurant sink with drain boards arrives today, and the faucet Friday. So that will also join its plumbing compatriots. Not sure when Graham will be available to get to any of it, he’s good about fitting us in where he can. It’s been a stellar year for contractors with no letup in sight, so we are thankful to have a couple who are accommodating. But that’s not all. We started having some air quality problems in our basement and have begun clearing it out. This means we’re spending as little time as possible down there and rather than hanging the clothes on the line we have downstairs (we don’t have a dryer), I now have them hanging across a pole on our front room ceiling. When you live like this for a while as we have, you can’t help but laugh because humor is sometimes all that keeps the curveballs bearable. Bearing that in mind, we’ve dubbed our interior design style a curious blend of Green Acres Core with a Schitts Creek Vibe. It does bring comfort to call it that, and like I’ve said before at least I have beautiful negligees to at least keep up some sort of appearance."

"Three senior associates are among seven staff made redundant by Piper Alderman in Adelaide last week.\n\n“This was a difficult decision, but reflects a downturn in dispute resolution work in Adelaide in the last nine months,” said the firm’s Adelaide managing partner, Tony Britten-Jones (pictured), when speaking to Lawyers Weekly.\n\nThe three senior associates laid off were all part of the firm’s dispute resolution and litigation group. A junior lawyer from that group was also let go, along with a paralegal and two shared services staff.\n\nBritten-Jones, who is also Pipers’ deputy managing partner, said that the dispute resolution group in Adelaide was seeking to roll-out more alternate fee arrangements (AFAs) to make itself more attractive to clients in a contracting market.\n\n“Clients want more cost certainty,” he said. “AFAs are something we offer clients for corporate and property work, and it is something we are looking to develop more fully across litigation.”\n\nPipers now has four partners and eight additional fee-earners in the dispute resolution and litigation group in Adelaide.\n\nBritten-Jones said that the redundancies do not reflect a shift of resources away from Adelaide, Pipers’ foundation office, to the firm’s eastern seaboard network in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.\n\n“Adelaide is still very important to us,” he said.\n\nPipers has 15 partners and 41 lawyers in Adelaide, making it the firm’s second biggest office.\n\nFor the 2013 financial year, Pipers earned around $18.5 million in revenue in Adelaide, which is an increase in revenue of just over 15 per cent over seven years, at a time when Adelaide’s legal market has contracted.\n\nFor FY13, Pipers’ Sydney office pulled in $27 million, while the firm’s Melbourne and Brisbane offices each made $12 million and $7.5 million respectively.\n\nPipers is the latest large law firm in Adelaide to lay off staff in the past 12 months.\n\nIn the second half of last year, leading Adelaide firms Kelly & Co and Finlaysons rolled out redundancies."

"Accessibility links\nHow Rural Farming Communities Are Fighting Economic Decline : The Salt The tiny farming town of Brookfield, Mo., isn't what it used to be. Local leaders are looking to revive it by encouraging small businesses and tempting young residents to stay in town.",
null,
null,
"Kristie and Drew Harper opened a small bistro in Brookfield, Mo. Town leaders are courting other businesses in an effort to grow the local economy.\n\nThe town of Brookfield, in north-central Missouri, is a close-knit community with a population of about 4,500.\n\nBecky Cleveland, who grew up here, says that when she was a kid, there were four grocery stores. Today there is just one, and a nearby Wal-Mart.\n\nThe vacant storefronts on Main Street make it clear that the town is no longer in its prime. Like many rural towns, Brookfield's top moneymakers in decades past were agriculture, transportation and manufacturing. While those industries still exist today, each has taken a hit. The town lost an auto plant. The railroad station is no longer bustling. And farming isn't bringing in as much as it used to.\n\nThis story is a familiar one for thousands of towns across rural America. It mostly comes down to technology — because of advances like herbicide-resistant seeds and more efficient tractors, farms need fewer employees. The number of farm jobs in the U.S. plummeted by 14 percent between 2001 and 2013, according to the Department of Agriculture.\n\nPair that with young people fleeing to cities, Hendrickson says, and you're left with small towns that just fade away. \"These things just kind of work in tandem,\" she says. \"So we have to ask a lot of questions about what's the future of rural development for these farming-dependent counties.\"\n\nThat's why rural towns need to take a concerted approach to building sustainability, says Pat Curry, with the University of Missouri Extension. Rural areas need to diversity their economic options, he says, so the economy stays somewhat protected if one of their industries takes a hit.\n\nIn some of the most productive farming counties in the Midwest, agriculture isn't even the biggest industry, Curry says. \"They have other things going on. Their economy includes manufacturing industries,\" he says. Or, \"they may have a prison,\" which may employ as many as 500 or 600 people.",

"Becky Cleveland, the economic development coordinator for Brookfield, Mo., says diversifying the town's economy is paramount in sustaining the future of the rural community.\n\nAnd so, rural communities are having to reinvent themselves to stay viable and sustainable, says Cleveland, an economic development coordinator in Brookfield, Mo. Her job is to make sure her town stays on the map by supporting existing small businesses and encouraging more economic development.\n\nAnd Brookfield has also teamed up with neighboring towns to draw tourists to what they've dubbed the American Genius Highway, along which Walt Disney and Mark Twain grew up.\n\nKristie and Drew Harper, who recently moved to Brookfield from Seattle, have bought into this bright, new vision for the town's future. The couple own a new bistro on Main Street. \"[It's] a little place where we can do art and we can do live music on Thursdays and Fridays,\" says Drew. They've also bought a small piece of land, which they're using to grow their own food for their family. \"We can feed our family and feed Brookfield,\" he adds.\n\nOf course, they still have a lot to learn about running a business in a small, rural town. They have some kinks to iron out, says Kristie.\n\nUltimately, encouraging business, education and health care leaders in Brookfield to collaborate and support each other is key, Cleveland says. The town lacks the health care centers and assisted living facilities to support the local aging population, for instance. So, town leaders are working together to push state legislators to provide broadband access for local health care providers, allowing the rural population to get care via telemedicine.\n\nMeanwhile, educators are working to retain their young people — and convince high school students that it's fine to return home after college. At graduation, these students receive DVD slideshows filled with photos from early grade school and scored with emotional music. A section of the slide show touts many of the graduates who have returned to this town. It ends with an \"unending invitation\" from the entire community to make Brookfield their home again.\n\nThis story comes to us from Harvest Public Media, a reporting collaboration that focuses on agriculture and food production. Kristofor Husted is based at member station KBIA in Columbia, Mo."

"’10 Babies Born In SA’: Reckless and Irresponsible Journalism Of The Highest Order",
null,
"On 8 June, Piet Rampedi, editor-in-chief of the Pretoria News, authored a lead story in the newspaper and on the IOL website that stated as fact that a Gauteng woman had given birth to 10 babies and broke the Guinness World Record.\nRampedi interviewed the couple, Gosiame Sithole and Teboho Tsotetsi, at their home in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni a month before the story was published and uncritically reported their version of events about the birth without verifying the facts with the hospital or doctors involved, as required by the Press Code of South Africa.\nThe code states very clearly that journalists “must take care to report news truthfully, accurately and fairly.”\nWhen other journalists started to investigate the matter, they were told by parties in the story that Rampedi told them not to speak to any other journalist and that he would speak on behalf of the family.\nThe Pretoria News and IOL further published a fundraising campaign for the so-called miracle babies, and published bank account details of a firm that was supposedly collecting donations for the family. Independent Media also asked its readers to deliver clothing and gifts for the children.\nShortly thereafter, Rampedi and Tsotetsi flew to Cape Town to accept a R1 million donation for the family from Dr Iqbal Survé, chairperson of Independent Media. At that point, serious gaps were visible in the story and the Gauteng provincial government confirmed that no decuplets were born in any private or public hospital in the province.\nNotwithstanding the many holes in the story, Rampedi and Independent Media doubled down and continued to report the story without the basic facts having been confirmed or established. Rampedi steadfastly refused to provide the name of the hospital or medical professionals involved.\nOn 14 June, Rampedi and Independent Media, after sustained attempts by the rest of the country, the government and other journalists to verify the story, changed tact and started to blame Sithole, the woman, claiming she had disappeared and was not responding to messages from Tsotetsi, the alleged father.\nIt is now clear that Rampedi never saw the babies or had proof of their birth, but solely relied on WhatsApp messages between Sithole and Tsotetsi to report as fact that they were born. This is reckless and irresponsible journalism of the highest order.\nThroughout his reporting, Rampedi purported to know which hospital Sithole, and her babies were, this has now proved to be a lie. And instead of admitting his lapse of basic journalistic tenets, Rampedi is now victim blaming Sithole, who needs medical assistance, according to the head of the Steve Biko Academic Hospital.\nThis entire episode ranks as one of the lowest points in the history of South African journalism. The failure of Rampedi and Independent Media to do basic fact-checking and verify grandiose statements before publication has undermined and damaged the entire journalistic profession.\nThe Press Code is clear that journalists should take the utmost care when reporting on matters involving children. Even though Independent Media is not a signatory of the Press Code, it is clear that all journalistic standards were abandoned with the handling of this story.\nSANEF calls on the management of Independent Media to urgently institute an independent inquiry, led by an expert in media ethics, to investigate how this story was investigated, reported and responded to by Rampedi and his colleagues.\nSANEF recently hosted a conference on media ethics and credibility in South Africa, that ended a thorough study into the matter, sparked by the Sunday Times’ unethical and flawed reporting on an investigating unit at the South African Revenue Service. Ironically, Rampedi was part of that reporting team and has steadfastly refused to admit wrongdoing in his reporting, despite numerous findings to the contrary.\nSANEF will continue to promote ethical and credible journalism through training, workshops and interactions with newsrooms and editors across the county.\nNote to Editors: The South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) is a non-profit organisation whose members are editors, senior journalists and journalism trainers from all areas of the South African media. We are committed to championing South Africa’s hard-won freedom of expression and promoting quality, ethics and diversity in the South African media. We promote excellence in journalism through fighting for media freedom, writing policy submissions, research and education and training programmes.

"IoT and agriculture: how connectivity is transforming farming\n\nAgriculture has recently been witness to a wealth of novel technologies, but, Martin argues, the most exciting development is precision farming. Precision farming is a process by which data is gathered and managed by multiple technologies such as in-field, in-building, or in-animal sensors and remote (satellite and drone) sensing systems. GPS, meteorological data, and RFID, which can be used with geo-mapping, yield mapping, high precision positioning systems and variable rate application systems, allow the production system to address variations for input requirements on a very fine scale, down from the field and herd scale of the past to a square metre or individual animal. Key to this whole process is connectivity. Data gathering, previously one of the most difficult aspects of farming, according to Martin, can now be automated through connected devices.\n\nThe value of open source software\n\nOpen source is expected to play a large role in the next big wave of evolution in the tech world. The future includes AI, machine learning, and big data analytics, which will not only make our systems smarter, but more valuable than ever. New open specifications make it easy to build upon old material with new functionality as such technologies evolve. This enables the creation of new and innovative operability that meets specific business needs. Open thinking operates at multiple levels within the open source community. It’s a large and passionate society that enables open collaboration and sharing, which results in added value to existing products and creates new ones. Anyone can freely use, change, and share open source software in modified or unmodified form. While companies working in commercial open source add value by turning what may appear as raw material to other enterprises into whole products.\n\nData Science As A Service' Is Almost Here",
null,
"Introducing data science requires an understanding beyond the tools and technologies – while insights may increasingly be commoditized and automated through advances in artificial intelligence, its important for people to have an understanding of where the data is coming from and its context. “by making data more accessible, you allow people who could have been great in science to have an opportunity to be great data scientists,\" said Shin. The challenge, then, is increasing executives' and employees' understanding and capabilities in data science. Hayes pointed to a recent study that estimates that only 17 percent of employees have the ability to use data in their jobs. \"Think about that -- hese people don't have the ability to understand or use data intelligently to improve their work performance. That says a lot about the state we're in today.\"\n\nEveryone seems to have a different opinion, and the only common approach appears to be dumping a long list of courses to take and books to read, all the while providing little to no context into how these concepts fit into the bigger picture. This post is my attempt to convert all the buzzwords & fluffy terminology into explicitly-learnable skills. To do this, I’ll be walking through my application of the first two steps to Tim Ferriss’ accelerated learning framework: Deconstruction & Selection. Rather than jump right in to a roadmap of my own learning journey (that’ll be next post), I want to empower you to begin your own.\n\nThe distribution chain in the insurance industry is winding and complex. A series of middlemen examine information between the insured and the carrier, leading to a lot of human error and manual work that slows the process, said Breen. However, AI is already starting to fix that problem. Algorithms can reduce the time and number of errors as information is passed from one source to the next. By logging into a portal and uploading a PDF, the amount of data entry and re-entry is reduced and accuracy is increased, Breen said. \"People get tired and bored and make mistakes, but algorithms don't,\" he added. For Pogreb, bridging the gap between the insured and the insurer is as important as reducing error. With better data, both customers and insurers benefit, she said, because insurers can develop better products based on more accurate assessments\n\nAre Businesses Too Confident About Cybersecurity?\n\nSix out of ten of businesses surveyed believe that they’re more safe today than a year ago. Additionally, roughly the same amount of respondents expect their preparedness to only improve next year. While businesses are generally implementing better measures to protect their data, how does this growth keep pace with breaches and attacks taking place? Within the past year, businesses have encountered DDoS and fraud attacks (31%), malicious insider attacks (31%), and ransomware attacks (28%). Between all of these incidents, a total of 71% of businesses responded to the survey by acknowledging that their organization had dealt with some form of cybercrime. This number is a staggering increase from the survey’s prior figure of 29%. For some businesses, confidence in the face of being a target of cybercrime makes sense\n\nCommunity banks cannot always afford to implement analytics tools and infrastructure, plus hire professionals required for a new database. In addition, data security related to private customer information is a sensitive issue for many community banks. Most thrive in local communities where there is a high level of trust between the bank and the customer. Through personal interactions and long-established relationships, community banks tend to have a deeper knowledge of the credit decisions of their customers than large banks do. With the implementation of Big Data, community banks can keep close supervision and detect any real time fraudulent acts. Through predictive analytics, the banks can identify and monitor any discrepancies in customers’ account and even forecast a loan default. The community banks would also be able to detect high-risk accounts which can help them in making more informed decisions.\n\nCyber and physical security are inseparable\n\nAccording to the Digital Transformation Agency, GovPass should take no longer than 10 minutes to set up. It also stressed that it will only match the data provided to create GovPass accounts against existing databases, and will not keep the data. A different approach has been taken in the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW). Instead of having one identifying “key” to let someone through dozens of government services, Service NSW has been established to create a single digital “front door” to 970 state government services. Acting general manager Damon Rees said more than 1.5 million people have signed up for the service. For now, the NSW Government is observing the progress of GovPass and is not yet participating in the national GovPass scheme, according to Rees.\n\nHow Blockchain Addresses the 5 Principal Issues in E-commerce\n\nThe problem of fraud in trading arose the first time humans traded anything of value. In the present day, service providers lose up to 8% of their profits every year due to fraud. Blockchain allows for the use of smart contracts for processing transactions and settlements with buyers, which ensures a much higher level of security. Smart contracts are digital algorithms that contain certain conditions. If the given conditions are met, the contract is executed and the parties that concluded it exchange assets. Smart contracts are stored in a distributed ledger, and they cannot be altered or destroyed. Using this technology makes it possible to return funds if an attempt at fraud is discovered. The use of smart contracts gives access to a mathematically exact and completely transparent method for processing financial flows without human involvement.\n\nIn all the AI hype and success, it is important that we recognise the constraints of current AI solutions. Narrow AI operates within a constrained and brittle domain and its knowledge is often based on specific training sets. Among its attributes, it lacks the human-like qualities of general intelligence, culture, context, emotion and ethics. Consider this AI solution which was trained to understand the difference between dogs and wolves. Instead of learning the differences between the animals it instead learned that wolf pictures include snow and dogs’ pictures included grass. Also recall Microsoft’s ill-fated experiment with “Tay” the teen robot who learned to became a Hitler loving, feminist hating sex maniac in less than 24 hours. Our global infrastructure is increasingly complex and interconnected. As the adoption of narrow AI increases, its shortcomings present real risks.\n\n“Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities.

"Pictured: not actually needed for the global economy to work. Image from ctv.com\n\nOne strange thing about staunch free-market advocates– who in self-image are as clear-headed about the real world as they are stout-hearted– is the mystical attachment to the lack of human agency in a human endeavor. The mystery of the market, and the “invisible hand”, is essentially the Gaia to their cute girl at the co-op. When global labor problems, and the immiseration of the Third World, is brought up, you’ll find shrugged shoulders and mumbling incantations about market forces. It’s strange to think that an economy predicated on container ships nearly a quarter-mile long and capable of carrying tens of thousands of tons, that can be unloaded by robots in massive ports, is somehow beyond the reach of human intervention.\n\nThere’s a growing movement to change that. It’s really easy to be upset when a Bangladesh factory collapses, or when you hear about union organizers for a South American sweatshop being killed, or any other of the iniquities of the global economy, but it turns out there is actually something that can be done. The invisible hand, shockingly, in attached to our arms.\n\nJust as we have passed laws in this country that stop child labor, allow for organizing, and create working conditions that, in theory, allow you to live, we can do so for other countries. Obviously not directly, but by enforcing supply chain standards for the American and other Western businesses that use overseas factories. Over at Lawyers, Guns, and Money, Eric Loomis gives an outline of what this might look like (with a promise to delve deeper into it in the future).\n\n1) All workers have the right to a union or workplace organization of their choice, free from harassment by employers or from corporations higher on the supply chain.\n\n2) All workers have the right to a safe workplace.\n\n3) All workers have the right to be free from physical, sexual, and verbal abuse.\n\n4) All workers have the right to a livable wage based on local conditions.\n\n6) Western companies must take legal responsibility for the conditions in their supply chains. Western countries need to pass legislation ensuring this.\n\n7) Western companies must agree to legally binding codes around pollution in their supply chains.\n\n8) Corporations must take legal responsibility to eliminate all child labor, prison labor, and coerced labor in their supply chains.\n\n9) Workers in supply chains must have legal recourse to violations of the basic principles listed above. If that cannot happen in the courts of their home nations, it must happen within the home courts of the western companies. That legal recourse should include access to corporate information and include the possibility for financial compensation for suffering.\n\n10) These laws and regulations must travel with companies, so that they cannot escape national law in order to create a race to the bottom. Rather, the new legal regime follows the company wherever it operates.\n\nTo me, these seem like a no-brainer, and I think the political arguments against them won’t hold much water. Let’s look at a few of those.\n\nI don’t think it will be easy, nor do I think it will create an international brotherhood, and nor do I think that we’ll see the glory days of the labor movement come roaring back. But it is, in many ways, a simple fix to the deep cruelty of the global economy, both here and abroad. A very comlicated and time-consuming one, and a long batle, but one that this nascent progressive coalition can fight, by rallying a large and diverse group of activists, from anti-globalization turtle-huggers (whom I love) to the bluest of the blue collar. It’s a winning issue."

"What do the Egg Wars and Fidel Castro Have in Common? Learn More in David Radlo’s New Book – Secret Stories of Leadership, Growth and Innovation",
null,
"Boston) Nov. 1, 2021 – David Radlo, a successful 3X entrepreneur and former founding partner of what is now a multi-billion-dollar food industry, has released a new book, Secret Stories of Leadership, Growth, and Innovation–Sustainable Transformation for a Safer, New and Better World. The books are a blueprint for any current or aspiring business leader on how to both disrupt commercial and political cartels and market leadership as well as support for existing market leadership to create further value and effectively deal with disruption. Throughout the book, Radlo draws upon his extensive leadership experience as a CEO, negotiator and partner that at times defied expectations. He currently hosts the ForbesBooks radio podcast Sustainable Leadership and Disruptive Growth, and serves as a board member, growth and exit advisor to businesses and non-profits as well as being a private equity operating partner.\n\n“This book illuminates the principles of cartel disruption using real-world content to help leaders transform their industries and create a better and more sustainable future,” said Radlo. “There is no greater opportunity to lead and transform than right here at home.”\n\nRadlo’s unique perspective and experience in handling difficult issues is exemplified in chapters six and seven, which chronicle the “egg wars,” the fight between animal rights groups and the agriculture industry and the birth of the “cage free nation” of egg production and sustainable alternative protein. Radlo, a pioneer in the food industry has worked for years with industry partners to provide consumers healthier and more humane alternatives.\n\nRadlo also provides an inside look at the impending threat to the egg supply in Massachusetts caused by a ballot referendum that will prohibit the sale of any eggs in the state that are not produced by hens that have at least 1.5 square feet of living space effective January 1, 2022. Radlo explains the way that this issue has played out is the result of pettiness, deep-seated mistrust and an unwillingness to compromise under any circumstances.\n\n“Massachusetts and New England used to be immune to this sort of stuff because of our history of town meetings where people talked to each other to achieve shared goals by compromising to achieve consensus. If this situation isn’t addressed, Massachusetts consumers will be faced to travel to neighboring states to do their food shopping which will severely harm retailers. Massachusetts produces less than approximately one percent of eggs sold in this state and those will generally command $8-$10 per dozen – if you can find them and afford them. For 99 percent of the consumers in this state, it will mean massive disruption,” said Radlo.\n\nRadlo was recently quoted in a Statehouse News Service article on the issue, “What you’re going to see if it doesn’t change is that you’ll be in a situation, especially the border towns, where everyone will shop in New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and they won’t just buy their eggs there, they’ll buy their whole cart.” Radlo is the former CEO and owner of Radlo Foods and past president of the New England Brown Egg Council.\n\nRadlo opens the door for readers to see what it was like to do business with Castro while sharing never before revealed details of back-channel diplomacy with the U.S. government that effectuated the release of U.S. dissidents imprisoned in Cuba. “Enough time has passed, so it is appropriate to share these inside stories and allow future leaders the opportunity to know that you can do a lot of good out there wherever you are and whatever you do,” said Radlo.\n\nSecret Stories of Leadership, Growth, and Innovation follows his previous book, The Principles of Cartel Disruption, which included 11 principles of leadership, growth and innovation.\n\nIn Radlo’s new book, he adds a 12th principle, Understand the Cartel’s Leadership Rules. This principle will help anyone who needs guidance in negotiating with a cartel or market leader whose mission is to maintain control and order at all costs. Radlo considers the 12th principle the key to being able to break through a cartel whether you are a disruptor yourself, a sustainable leader, a dominant market leader or even a cartel leader.\n\n“The twelfth principle outlines the basic tenets of what you need to do to beat or compete with a cartel or market leadership and how a cartel or market leadership can effectively grow and deal with disrupting competition. This has never been revealed before. It’s like running an offense in sport and expecting the defense to sit still. If you are not lucky and they stay asleep, large competitors will fight with a disproportionate share of resources when they see a threat as well as quietly disrupt themselves,” said Radlo.\n\nSecret Stories of Leadership, Growth, and Innovation will be available on November 15 through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com or wherever you get your books.

"The user can access the application via web-browser, and he must have the Metamask wallet installed. This interface, built with React.js, relies on the web3.js library to communicate with the smart contracts through Metamask. This means that the data reflected on the front-end application is fetched from the Ethereum blockchain. Each action performed by the user (mint a NFT, offer NFT, buy NFT…) creates a transaction on Ethereum, which will require Metamask confirmation and pay a small fee, and this transaction will permanently modify the state of the NFTCollection and NFTMarketplace smart contracts. On top of it, the user will upload the NFT Metadata to the IPFS, creating a permanent hash which will be permanently recorded on the blockchain itself to prove ownership.\n\nThe user can perform the following actions on this NFT Marketplace:\n\nThe user must input a name, description and upload a file (image) to mint his own NFT. Once minted, a representation of this NFT will be displayed in the marketplace and initially it will be owned by its creator. This is open for everyone, meaning everyone can participate in this NFT creation within this collection.\n\nThe user can offer his NFT by specifying its price (in Ether). If someone fulfills this offer, then the ownership is transferred to a new owner.\n\nThe user can cancel an offer he did in the past if in the end he does not want to sell his NFT or wants to adjust the price.\n\nA user can buy those NFT which someone else offered. This will require paying the requested price (the Ether will be transferred to the smart contract to be claimed later on).\n\nIf a user sold an NFT, he can claim his funds by clicking the button in the top-right."

"It doesn’t take much of a trigger to push extremely large crowds of very angry protesters into committing acts of rioting and violence. And rioting and violence can ultimately lead to widespread civil unrest and calls for “revolution”. The election of Donald Trump was perhaps the single most galvanizing moment for the radical left in modern American history, and we have already seen that a single move by Trump can literally cause protests to erupt from coast to coast within 48 hours. On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that banned refugees from Syria indefinitely and that placed a 90 day ban on travel to the United States for citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Within hours, protesters began to storm major airports, and by Sunday very large crowds were taking to the streets all over the country…\n\nFrom Seattle to Newark, Houston to Boston, hundreds jammed airport terminals — lawyers, immigration advocates, ordinary citizens compelled to the front lines, many refusing to leave until those who had been detained by U.S. Customs had been freed or had obtained legal counsel.\n\nOn Sunday, the movement caught fire and demonstrations and rallies erupted in communities across the U.S. from city halls to airports to parks. In the nation’s capital, the site of the march that drew a crushing 500,000 people Jan. 21, Pennsylvania Avenue was shut down Sunday as thousands trekked from the White House to the U.S. Capitol. An energized crowd stopped outside Trump’s showcase hotel along the avenue to shake fists and chant “shame.”\n\nYou can see some really good pictures of the protests going on around the nation right here.\n\nAs I was going through articles about these protests today, I remember one woman holding up a sign that said “Remove Trump By Any Means Necessary”.\n\nIt doesn’t take much imagination to figure out what she was suggesting.\n\nVisions of violence are dancing in the heads of these very frustrated people, and they are being egged on by top members of Congress such as Chuck Schumer…\n\n‘These orders go against what America has always been about,’ Schumer told the crowd in Battery Park according to the New York Daily News. ‘The orders make us less humanitarian, less safe, less American and when it comes to making us less safe people forget this, that’s why so many of our military, intelligence, security, and law enforcement leaders are opposed to this order and all those like it.’\n\nChelsea Clinton, the daughter of Trump’s presidential rival, Hillary, tweeted a picture from the rally. It was captioned: ‘Yes. We will keep standing up for a country that matches our values and ideals for all. #NewYork #NoBanNoWall.’\n\nOn Sunday, President Trump attempted to clarify what his executive order was really about and make it clear that it was not a ban on all Muslims. The following comes from CNN…\n\nPresident Donald Trump insisted Sunday his travel ban on certain Muslim-majority nations would protect the United States from terrorists, after a weekend of outrage and confusion over the move.\n\nIn an afternoon statement, Trump wrote the country would continue showing “compassion to those fleeing oppression.”\n\nUnfortunately, polls show that somewhere around a third of the country greatly dislikes Trump, and those people are more than ready to believe that Trump is a racist bigot that hates all Muslims.\n\nBut the truth is that Trump does not hate any group of people. His target is simply Islamic terror, and he is actually pro-immigration as long as it is legal immigration.\n\nLet us not forget that his wife is a legal immigrant.\n\nI know that Trump is quite eager to get things done, but putting out this executive order at this particular moment was definitely a case of poor timing.\n\nWe are a nation that is deeply, deeply divided, and now this latest controversy threatens to divide us even further.\n\nWhen I was out earlier today, I saw a pro-Trump billboard that some business owner had put up that was urging liberals to quit their whining.\n\nOn the surface that may sound funny, but it definitely doesn’t do anything to bring us together.\n\nSomeday, widespread civil unrest is going to sweep across the United States and major American cities will burn.\n\nMy hope is that we can put this off for as long as possible.\n\nIn fact, I sincerely hope that this will not happen at all during the Trump/Pence era.\n\nBut you would have to be blind not to see the hate, anger and frustration that are all growing like cancer in the hearts of our young people.\n\nThis is a time for the peacemakers. If there are any left in Washington, we need them to rise up now and try to bring healing before it is too late."

"Warning: This story contains spoilers from the Thursday, March 11, episode of Grey’s Anatomy.\n\nA hard but noble decision. Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff and actor Giacomo Gianniotti shared their thoughts regarding the death of Gianniotti’s character on the Thursday, March 11, midseason premiere episode of the beloved show.\n\n‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Exits: Who Quit? Who Was Fired? Who Is Down to Come Back?\n\nTitled “Helplessly Hoping,” the episode saw 31-year-old Gianniotti’s character, Dr. Andrew DeLuca, die on the operating table at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital after being stabbed while trying to take down a sex trafficker. The midseason premiere took place during a two-hour crossover event with Station 19.\n\n“This is the story that demanded to be told. But sometimes we writers are just as grief stricken by the stories as you are. This is one of those times,” Vernoff, 49, wrote in a statement posted to Twitter after the episode aired.\n\n“Giacomo has brought so much talent and so much heart to the role of Andrew DeLuca. We at Grey’s Anatomy are grieving the death of this character with all of you. Giacomo played him so beautifully and took him on such a powerful journey — from intern, to romantic, to a mental health crisis and back again,” she continued. “Giacomo remains a member of our family not just in perpetuity but for more of this season. You will see him again. As actor and as director. … Thank you Giacomo for your performance, your talent, your grace.”\n\nIn a conversation with Deadline, Vernoff said that killing DeLuca was one of the first things she thought of when imagining how the season would play out.\n\n“I was walking on the beach imagining the season, and I was like, oh, no, really?! But it felt powerful and important, and I don’t always know why, but that was the story that came,” she said, also explaining the reasoning behind her decision. “It was extremely important to me that it be clear that he was through his mental health crisis, and that the following through on the sex trafficking story was rooted in his bravery and goodness as a human, and that I think we did well.”\n\nGianniotti, who has been a mainstay on the show for six years, will return to the series later this season as a director. The actor shared that his experience directing was “amazingly positive” — as well as his thoughts on DeLuca’s demise — in a separate Deadline interview following the reveal.\n\nAccording to the actor, he was first approached about a potential ending to his character’s story early in the season’s filming. When the Grey’s Anatomy crew returned to set following a COVID-19-related shutdown, they decided to bring the idea back around.\n\n“I just thought it was a beautiful storyline, I thought it was a beautiful way for the character to exit as a hero,” the Italy native said, admitting it was easy to agree to the ending. “I said ‘absolutely.’ I’ve been on the show for six years, seven seasons. It’s definitely been a long time, and I’m a young guy. So, I think this was a good time to depart, and I’m happy that Krista and Debbie [Allen] and all the writers did such a great job with telling the story. I think it’s going to do justice to a lot of people and help a lot of people.”\n\nEvery Star Who’s Left ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Where Are They Now?\n\nStill, just because the decision was easy didn’t mean it wasn’t emotional.\n\n“Everybody knew, and everybody was, of course, very sad. I’ve been working with all of these people for seven seasons now, sometimes we joke about how we spend more time with each other than we do our families,” the Reign alum said. “Although it’s a beautiful experience and I’m happy to be leaving in this way, and the story we get to tell is so beautiful, and I think it’s going to help a lot of people, I’m obviously sad to leave all my great, dear friends.”\n\nTune into Grey’s Anatomy on ABC Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET."

"DAYS spoilers photos for Monday are here! Catch a glimpse of your favorite Salemites stirring up drama. This is going to be an episode you will not want to miss.\n\nXander Cook (Paul Telfer) is one very sad — and very drunk — man. He just can’t cope after his showdown with Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) and misses his wife, a lot. He gets a ray of hope when there’s a knock at the door, but alas, not his beloved Sarah. But, it is his ex, Gwen (Emily O’Brien).\n\nShe jumps into action to take care of Xander. She gets him to put down the bottle and begs him to clean up his act. Gwen even gets him to take his pants off. Uh-Oh! An even bigger whoopsie happens when Sarah does show up, and Gwen is wearing Xander’s shirt!\n\nMeanwhile, Will (Chandler Massey) overhears a rather damning conversation between Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) and Leo Stark (Greg Vaughan). Will this finally give him the ammo he needs to show Sonny (Zach Tinker) his pal hasn’t changed? It sure seems so since the friends have a talk over at the mansion later on.\n\nAll the while, Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) mopes about. His poor decision-making had disastrous results, and he can hardly even look at himself. Will some flirting with Sloan help? Maybe a talk with Sonny? He may need to face facts — some wrongs can never be righted."

"It came as the company faced headwinds from a global shortage of semiconductors and sought to weather a backlash in the key Chinese market over the handling of a protest at an auto show in Shanghai this month.\n\nThe Nasdaq-listed carmaker’s $438 million in first-quarter net profits were boosted by $101 million it made by selling 10% of its bitcoin holdings, in what founder Elon Musk said was an attempt to show the cryptocurrency is a good alternative to cash.\n\nAlso helping the firm stay in the black was $518 million in income from sales of regulatory credits to other carmakers so they can meet environmental rules, according to the unaudited earnings report. Tesla’s revenue from selling the credits was up 46% from a year earlier.\n\nOverall revenue was $10.4 billion, a rise of 74% from the first quarter of last year, when the Covid-19 pandemic forced production shutdowns and decimated global trade.\n\nTesla said its healthy revenue growth was partly due to a record 185,000 electric vehicles it sold in the three months through March, which was more than double the number during the same period last year.\n\nRevenue was up 129% on the first quarter of 2019, before the pandemic started. Net profit was 26 times higher than the first three months of last year and also marked a turnaround from a $702 million loss the company posted in the equivalent period of 2019.\n\nTesla’s latest earnings report shows the company purchased some $1.5 billion worth of “digital assets,” believed to be bitcoins, in the first quarter and resold a small portion of them.\n\nAdditionally, the U.S. automaker earned more than half a billion dollars by selling government electric-vehicle (EV) credits to other automakers with more-polluting portfolios. Since Tesla receives the credits for free and only makes EVs, it can sell the credits at 100% profit margins.\n\nStrong demand in China for the Model Y SUV, which is produced at Tesla’s so-called “Gigafactory” in Shanghai, powered the company’s record quarterly sales.\n\nPlanned output expansion at the Shanghai hub is “progressing well,” the company said, adding that it expects quarterly production there to continue rising through the rest of the year.\n\nTesla’s average vehicle sales price declined by 13% year-on-year, the report said, partly due to its China-made products, which have lower sticker prices, contributing a greater share of total purchases.\n\nLike many carmakers, Tesla is suffering from a global shortage of semiconductors that in some cases forced manufacturers to suspend production. The chip crunch remains a “huge problem,” Musk said during a Monday earnings call.\n\nTesla is also dealing with the fallout from an incident at the recent Shanghai auto show, when a protester climbed onto a Model 3 in the company’s booth and shouted “Tesla brakes fail.”\n\nThe automaker initially dismissed the protester’s claims, but later issued an apology following outrage on Chinese social media and criticisms of its behavior by the authorities."

"(June 22, 2021 / JNS) Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) called on the Palestinians to continue on the “path of jihad and martyrdom,” and urged Muslims to support them with money, manpower and weapons, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (MEMRI-JTTM).\n\nThe media arm of AQIM, Al-Andalus, released an audio statement on June 20 by its leader, Abu Ubaydah Yusuf al-Anabi, in which he also condemned France for its involvement in Mali and accused the country of having hostility towards the prophet Muhammad.\n\nHe praised Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, saying “it has become clear once again that the only road leading to the liberation of Al-Aqsa mosque and all the occupied territories is through jihad and martyrdom for the sake of Allah—not through negotiation and political solutions.”\n\n“Supply them with funding, men, weapons, equipment, expertise and everything required for warfare and military revolution,” he said, “as waging jihad in Palestine is a mandatory duty for every Muslim able to march forth to those blessed lands because the people of Palestine are not able to deter the aggression of the Zionists on their own.”"

"Recently we have been building our maker project, I was in the process of making a animal stool. I had this great idea of how it would be made and the design of every little detail. I failed to thoroughly think through how the steps would be assembled. Then it occurred to me, no person would step on this without breaking the stool or himself. So, I guess it was time for more brainstorming. I thought that maybe I should just create the frame of a stool and add sides to that. Yeah, that would take to long so I took a short cut. Probably not the best idea but due to the Maker-O-Roma coming in like, 2 days, I had no other choice. This short cut work way better than I could have thought, meaning the stool was very sturdy.\n\nIf I were to do another cute stool I would start with the frame then add the detailed and colored sides. But the point is, that I didn’t try and fail at this project, then the stool would not have gotten better. Same with all the products in stores. Without the competition we wouldn’t keep innovating our technology.\n\nif you don’t get hurt.",

In a recently released piece “Quarantine Breeds Ingenuity With E.C. Creators of New Mystery Podcasts Series”, the Falls Church News Press described it as “reminiscent of the Golden Age of Radio.” With only a single episode published, and seven more to come in season 1, the Gap is already making waves in the podcasting space."

"Eustace Conway is the true definition of an outdoors guy. The well-known naturalist rose to prominence in 2012 after becoming the star of the History Channel series, Mountain Men. The show follows Conway as he lives off the land in North Carolina. During the show, Eustace also hosts visitors who come to him to learn different techniques about surviving in nature. If a zombie apocalypse ever does come around, Eustace is definitely the guy you want to have close by. But is there more to this mountain man than what viewers see on the show? You’re about to find out. Keep reading for 10 things you didn’t know about Eustace Conway.\n\n1. He’s Been Living In The Woods Since He Was A Teenager\n\nWhen it comes to living in the wilderness, Eustace Conway isn’t new to this, he’s true to this. He has always had an affinity for the outdoors and learned how to survive in the woods at an early age. At 12, he spent a week camping and living off the land. When he was 17-years-old, he decided to go live in the woods full-time and spent the next 17 years living in a tipi.\n\n2. His Grandfather Founded A Summer Camp\n\nBeing a mountain man is something that runs in Eustace’s blood. His grandfather, C. Walton “Chief” Johnson, founded Camp Sequoyah in 1924. The camp closed in 1978, but those who worked there as counselors and attended as campers still have a strong bond. For over a20 years, Camp Sequoyah alumni have gotten together each year for a reunion. Johnson is also considered one of the fathers of modern camping.\n\n3. He Went Horseback Riding Across America\n\nAlthough Eustace spends most of his time in the woods, he does venture out from time to time. According to a profile piece on Eustace from GQ Magazine, “In 1995, Eustace and his brother Judson rode their horses across America. They didn’t know if it was possible or even legal to do this…They just ate a big Christmas dinner with their family and then strapped on their guns, mounted their horses, and headed out.”\n\n4. He Has A College Degree\n\nSome people may assume that Eustace is so connected to nature that he doesn’t believe in any of the ‘trappings’ of the modern world, but that isn’t completely the case. After spending a few years studying indigenous people in Guatemala, Eustace returned to the United States in his early 20s and attended Appalachian State University where he studied English and Anthropology.\n\n5. He Doesn’t Fall In Love Easily\n\nEustace’s love life has been a point of interest for lots of people who have come in contact with him. Due to his unique way of living, many wonder whether or not he plans to settle down. Eustace says that he isn’t the type of person who falls in love easily, but there have been a few women he’s loved over the years. One in particular, he was ready to propose to the day they met. However, he decided not to out of fear of scaring her away.\n\n6. His Spirituality Is Tied To Nature\n\nEustace isn’t religious in the traditional sense, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a strong sense of spirituality. When asked about his spiritual beliefs, Eustace said, “There are many faces of humanity, many voices and beliefs, and many belief systems that I respect and honor, as long as they are helping to promote good–which is close to the word ‘God’–as long as they are making the world good and enriching our lives. I personally find the greatest source of goodness and God-ness in the gifts of the natural world.”\n\n7. He Wants To Start A Charter School\n\nLiving on Turtle Island is a dream come true for Eustace, but there are still a few more things he’s like to accomplish. One of his main goals is to start a charter school on Turtle Island. He also says that he’d like for his land “to be a model that’s replicated in other places. But I’m limited by time and financial resources.”\n\n8. He Gave Elizabeth Gilbert Complete Control Over His Biography\n\nEustace was initially thrust into the spotlight in 2002 with the release of the book The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilbert. Although Eustace and his life were the subject of the book, he says the story was completely Elizabeth’s. Before she began writing, the two made an agreement that Eustace wouldn’t “change, edit, or influence any part of the book.”\n\n9. He Thinks Overconsumption Is One Of The World’s Biggest Problems\n\nMost people would agree that there are lots of problems ailing the world today. Eustace Conway believes that overconsumption is the biggest of them all. He says, “We’re fat–not just physically obese, but the blubber of our materialistic lives keeps us from being grounded in reality. It’s also causing the disintegration of our culture. Without contact with the natural world, we’re cut off from our cultural and spiritual roots.”"

"Peak ages: With four players in their prime years, Norwich are all about untapped potential",
null,
"5\nThis piece is part of a series looking at the age profiles of squads for teams that we cover in the Premier League, Championship and Scottish Premiership, following The Athletic’s article by Tom Worville considering “peak age” across different positions. Goalkeepers tend to peak later in their careers and flying full-backs generally peak earlier — it’s all in there.\n\nThe analysis was calculated based on the share of minutes per age across each position over the past 10 Premier League seasons. Off the back of that work, each club writer is looking more closely at the current state of their playing squad to see how each player’s age profile shapes up relative to their respective peak.\n\nPierre Lees-Melou was something of an outlier for Norwich City this summer.\n\nAs captain of Ligue 1 side Nice, you could understand why they wanted him, but at 28 years old he was different from the rest of Norwich’s Premier League recruitment.\n\nWhether those players are ready or good enough for one of the most athletic, difficult tasks in domestic football remains a pertinent question. Dean Smith’s appointment as head coach in place of Daniel Farke underlines the club’s belief they can be. His success will depend on them being right."

"If Jacobs is hardly the first modern conductor to present the opera in its 'original colours', his Don Giovanni is among the liveliest and most enjoyable on offer. It is certainly one of the... — Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 More…\n\nRecording of the Week, Mozart - Don Giovanni from René Jacobs\n\nThe final instalment of the Belgian conductor’s ‘refreshing and intelligent’ Mozart-Da Ponte cycle has Chris questioning his preconceptions about the eponymous libertine, sung here by 27-year-old Johannes Weisser.\n\nIf there is one thing that marks out René Jacobs’s approach to Mozart, it is the way he constantly asks himself questions – and the specifically musical brilliance of the answers he comes up with. The success of his recent version of La clemenza di Tito is proof of that! After Così fan tutte and Le nozze di Figaro, his recording of this centrepiece of the Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy offers us the latest fruits of his reflections on Classical opera. Premiered at the 2006 Innsbruck Festival and recorded shortly afterwards, this production is nourished by his thoughts on Don Giovanni as taboo-breaker and on a ‘physiology of roles’ that respects Mozart’s intentions as nearly as possible.\n\nIf Jacobs is hardly the first modern conductor to present the opera in its 'original colours', his Don Giovanni is among the liveliest and most enjoyable on offer. It is certainly one of the most brilliantly played. The Freiburg band, forwardly balanced, are eager, involved participants in the drama. Mozart's wonderful woodwind commentaries are as pungent as you will hear, while rasping, minatory valveless brass and gunfire period timpani create a properly terrifying frisson in the Commendatore's retribution scene.\nJacobs being Jacobs, there are controversial things here. Tempi can suddenly spurt forward or slow down, usually – as in the opening scene – with dramatically exciting results. Both finales hurtle forward with thrilling impetus. Elsewhere speeds can sound a shade frenetic: in the Act 1 Quartet, for instance, or in Zerlina's two arias.\nAs in Jacobs's Figaro, the recitatives are done in a natural, conversational style, with fortepiano and cello adding their creative 'commentaries', like the instruments in the arias.\nFor Jacobs, Donna Elvira is the opera's central female character. Accordingly, he casts Anna with the relatively light-toned Olga Pasichnyk, who sings 'Non mi dir' tenderly and gracefully, and sounds more sorrowful than vengeful in 'Or sai chi l'onore' – a more vulnerable and more likeable figure than usual. Conversely, Alexandrina Pendatchanska's Elvira is as hysterically obsessive as any on disc, with a mingled desperation and tragic grandeur in her big Act 2 recitative: it's an exciting performance, certainly, though her phrasing can be disconcertingly gusty.\nSmooth legato is hardly a priority for Johannes Weisser either. His Giovanni is less the sinister, demonic anti-hero, more an over-sexed, heedless young bounder with a taste for danger and a penchant for cruelty. He is casually seductive with Sunhae Im's coquettish, sweet-toned Zerlina, rapier-sharp in his exchanges with Leporello, where his youthful, tenorish timbre contrasts strongly with Lorenzo Regazzo's bass-baritone.\nRegazzo's is a charismatic performance, never descending to caricature; his lubricious relish in the Catalogue aria does not preclude a hint of elegance. The mellifluous-toned Kenneth Tarver makes a sympathetic, concerned Ottavio, the Masetto is aptly sullen, the Commendatore amply imposing. But few could deny the zest, sweep and sheer theatrical charge of this recording.\n\nRegazzo's brilliant diction and timing put him in the first\nrank…Pendatchanska's Elvira seemed in each of her appearances like a Fury descending not only on Giovanni, but on all the other characters too.\n\nRené Jacobs conducts a bitingly sharp account of Don Giovanni...the cast list does not sound distinguished, yet they make a superb team with no weak link, and Jacobs's speeds are sensible rather than exaggerated. The soloists all have fresh, clear, firm voices\n\nThere is much to admire...especially from the playing of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra as primed by Jacobs's tensely dramatic phrasing and pacing…\n\nJacobs's recording of the 1788 Vienna version (with the discarded Prague numbers included in an appendix) is always exhilarating...I found its zest and mercurial spirit refreshing, often compelling."

"“I find it shameful that there are salute gossip, illegal personal attacks and false misleading accusations surrounding these tragic events – people who seem relevant and have an agenda,” Mrs Trice said in a statement Written statement issued. White House official website.\n\nOn Monday, Mrs Trump struck a different tone in the farewell video volume. She promoted her time as a first lady, and her newborn stage, Be Best, again called on the rest of the country to uphold the ideals that her husband has spent four years ignoring.\n\n“Use every opportunity to show ideas for another person,” Mrs. Trump said. “Under all circumstances, I ask every American to be the ambassador of Be Best.” To focus on what unites us, from above who divides us, to always choose love over hate, peace over violence and others about ourselves. “\n\nMrs Trump’s friends say that she is a better person than the country she has seen so far, who at various times tried unsuccessfully to make a minor impression on her husband and was angry at how she spent her final months in the White House Handled.\n\n“Melania is and will remain the most popular Trump,” former Presidential Counselor Kellyanne Conway said in an interview. “She will use her platform for the good of others. As the first woman, she was fully engaged, but not exaggerated. There remains a curiosity and a secret about him. “\n\nBut publicly she has shown a side that critics have felt that she can be dramatically self-pitying like her husband. In 2018, while returning from a trip to a Texas border town to meet detained migrant children, what Mrs. Trump said became her most outspoken fashion statement, wearing a jacket with the phrase, “I really do not care.

"India vs England: Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja said England are one of the better touring sides and he expects a good contest between the visiting team and India in the upcoming 4-Test series.\n\nFormer Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja has lauded England’s preparation and planning for the much-anticipated tour of India, saying the visitors will be accustomed to sub-continent conditions as they spent a few weeks in Sri Lanka before heading to Chennai.\n\nRamiz Raja said England have generally travelled better than most teams and it showed with the way they were able to dominate Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. The Pakistan cricketer-turned analyst said he expects a cracker of a contest between the two sides in the upcoming 4-Test series.\n\nEngland reached Chennai for the first 2 matches of a 4-Test series, starting February 5. Joe Root’s men spent close to a month in Sri Lanka for a 2-Test series which they won 2-0. The visitors were dominating Sri Lanka both with the bat and the ball as Root led from the front.\n\nCaptain Root scored 426 runs in 2 Tests as he hit a double hundred and 186, helping England seize the initiative with big first-innings totals. Spinners Dom Bess and Jack Leach picked up 22 wickets between them while pacers Stuart Broad and James Anderson were among the wickets as well.\n\n“England scheduled their tours perfectly. They have gone to India after playing in Sri Lanka so they are accustomed now to subcontinent conditions. England will take confidence from their series win in Sri Lanka and it will be a good series,” Ramiz Raja told a YouTube channel.\n\n“It is a series between the top two Test sides because Australia has been beaten at home and I like the New Zealand team because of their captain (Kane Williamson) but I think on overseas tours, England have done better than them.”\n\nEngland and India will begin training in Chennai after completing their mandatory quarantine period from Monday. The two teams will meet in the first Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium from February 5. The first Test will be played in front of empty stands due to the Covid-19 protocols."

"In the mid 1600’s, days of quill pens and before there was a single paved road in America, France built the Canal du Midi, connecting the Atlantic and Mediterranean with a waterway that runs up and over mountain ranges and through craggy rocklands and dense forests. Canals became the fastest way to move anything anywhere until the development of railroads. They now are the fastest way to do one thing and one thing only — recharge batteries.\n\nAlice and I spent a week on the Canal before I flew off to Boston to begin a trial. We rented a houseboat in Castelnaudary, ate cassoulet and stocked up on cheese and plonk, then raced toward Carcassonne at 3 kilometers per hour (not counting delays to navigate the locks). A week later, after castles, street markets, boulangeries, and endless rounds of Boggle, we turned the boat in at Hompes.\n\nThe result: I slowed down enough to finish the last chapter of the sequel to Virginia’s War. I am putting the last touches on Will right now, then will ask some technical readers to take a look before I send it to Vire’s editor, Mindy Reed. Look for it; it’s coming.\nThanks, and see you soon.\nJack"

"Today a seasoned executive talked criticized his own team about transparency. This is an area I see a lot of people messing up, much to their detriment. When a leader doesn't understand what their organization is doing it's hard to put the blame on the organization in that case, but weak managers tend to do so. The accusation is almost always that the team isn't being transparent. This is one of the great cop outs, and nine times out of ten the CEO should start a search for a new leader.\n\nThe accusation is almost always that the team isn't being transparent.\n\nIn reality teams are typically doing the best they can. Transparency, especially in software development means that if someone tries to look in at what you are doing, they can see it. There are many viable methodologies for software teams to work under, each with their own artifacts. What matters from a transparency perspective is can an outsider see the artifacts the team creates through their work or are those artifacts obscured, locked down, hidden.\n\nWhat all of these things have in common is that if someone wanted to, and cared they could dive in and observe or catch up with the flow, progress and process of the teams work. It's free to the team and just part of doing their jobs.",
null,
"Too often however a manager is just a little further away from understanding than they need to be. These managers have skewed expectations of transparency, and are really looking for something else. Proactive messaging to teach everyone something is a different thing. Not a bad thing, just different, and no longer free. If the team is open and transparent a professional skilled in the art should be able to use the tools and systems of communication and plug into the flow of work. That free nature of openness means that the team can support an unlimited number of observers, because the observer owns the time cost of their education.\n\nIt does however put the burden on the observer to manage the understanding on their own. This is where it gets tricky. Many organizations lack the broad technical understanding needed for someone to bring themselves up to speed from the free workflow; but they also lack the trust and/or structure to accept the short form version of a plan. All of a sudden your free transparency comes with a very real cost to the team, and every observer is now a stakeholder.\n\nThese uninvited stakeholders usually don't realize the impact they can have on a team. They don't coordinate, and they typically have an expectation that whatever they are doing is quite important. Managers are especially at risk of this kind of disruption. It's just one quick question after all.\n\nPeople really want to understand the why questions, and why questions always require context. That context isn't free, and filling the gap typically causes a team to slow to a crawl. Many companies solve this problem by allocating time for teams to lift their heads up, slow down, and share this kind of material in the form of program reviews, or other similar conversations. This is often a very reasonable way to solve this problem, it comes at a cost in time, but you can push all that cost together into one block and treat it like a one to many communication. Some companies dedicate a full time role to this kind of communication with program or product managers effectively becoming internal marketers for the team. This can make sense as well, but again, it's not free unless you manage to find that group of amazing communicators willing to volunteer their time.\n\nA manager not understanding what's going on in their teams or in their software is a lot like a rear-end collision. It's almost always the fault of following car.\n\nI've found that when you see a manager challenging teams on transparency it's really a smoke screen for understanding. It's a statement that their time is more important than the teams time. Which might be true in some specific contexts but since a typical software team at a large company probably costs about a million dollars a year, the math doesn't add up. We pay these teams to build the right thing, the expectation on managers should be that they understand what their teams are doing and why at a deep enough level that they can make that investment pay off. Good managers and leaders intuitively know that an hour of their time is worth less than an hour of team time, and they find ways to make sure they keep their understand levels high without putting a frequent tax on the team to manage that.\n\nA manager not understanding what's going on in their teams or in their software is a lot like a rear-end collision. It's almost always the fault of following car. Either the manager has let their team go so far off track that what they are doing doesn't make sense to anyone or the manager has failed to follow the teams journey through the free artifacts.\n\nSo if one of your managers or leaders starts talking about how a team isn't being transparent, that's a great excuse to dig deeper. You are likely to find that it's really the manager who doesn't understand.\n\nGet the latest posts delivered right to your inbox\n\nThe letter to shareowners this year has a lot of really good lessons in it for teams and companies. The theme this year is about high standards. There are a couple of lessons that just about everyone could and should internalize here. High standards are contagious.

I've been lucky enough to work on a couple of high standards teams, and when you get dropped in it might be\n\nIt's often seen as desirable when non-software parts of the organization begin to adopt the more flexible structures of modern software. It sounds good, these tech companies are doing great, let's be more like them. More and more companies are adopting the phrasing and language of agile. In many cases it's just a set of labels on top of rituals. Many companies take it a step further and apply other technical names of things to job titles, and non-software processes.

"Raya and the Last Dragon",
null,
"Not suitable under 8; parental guidance to 10 (violence, themes, scary scenes)\n\nOnce there was a land called Kumandra where people lived happily, guarded by magical dragons who brought water, prosperity and peace. That is until a plague of evil creatures called Druuns arrived, bringing with them nothing but death and destruction, turning all life to ash and stone. As the last dragons made a valiant stance to save what remained of humanity, their combined power wiped out the Druuns, but when the smoke cleared, all the dragons were gone and nothing was left save a magical gem and the legend of a lone dragon. In fear, the people split up the land, drawing borders and boundaries. As the years passed, mistrust and animosity grew and the gem had to be hidden away. After the passing of centuries, a kind-hearted King dreams of reuniting the lands and invites all the nations to reconcile and form Kumandra again. His young daughter, Raya, trained as a warrior princess, strikes up a friendship with a girl named Namaari from another kingdom but her trust is soon betrayed. She watches in horror as her beloved father is shot and the gem she has sworn to protect is broken into pieces which releases the evil Druuns once again. As each nation takes a piece of the gem and flees, Raya’s father entrusts his daughter with their piece, entreats her to unite the kingdoms and flings her into the river just as he himself is turned to stone. Raya spends the next six years searching for the legendary lone dragon and is, at last, able to locate and reanimate the infamous Sisu who has been sleeping for centuries. Together they set off to find the other pieces of the gem, vanquish the Druun and save all those who’ve been turned to stone.\n\nRaya and the Last Dragon is an animated, Disney, adventure and an epic tale of good versus evil. The graphics are excellent, the plot is fast paced and even though the story is full of darkness, it is interwoven with such hope and humour that despair never gets a chance to take hold. Somehow all things seem possible. That being said, due to violence, themes and scary scenes, the film will be best enjoyed by older children and adults.\n\nThe main messages from this movie are that as much as humanity is capable of great evil, it is also capable of great good. If we can overcome prejudice and misunderstanding to come together as one family then we have a greater power than any dragon ever did. We have the power to conquer fear and hate and to change all our darkness into light."

"Transnational initiative focusing on the prevention of human trafficking by reducing the demand for exploitation of female victims of trafficking through prostitution.\n\nSTOP Traffick! Tackling Demand for Sexual Services of Trafficked women and Girls was a EU-funded transnational project led by the Immigrant Council of Ireland from 2012-2014. It focused on the prevention of human trafficking by reduction in demand that fosters the exploitation of female victims of trafficking through prostitution.\n\nThis project explored different attitudes of buyers and potential buyers to human trafficking, in order to inform demand reduction awareness raising initiatives, implemented through a partnership of civil society, public and private enterprises. The project also targeted employers to pilot the demand reduction strategy as part of their corporate responsibility. It developed a toolkit of products and activities to raise awareness among buyers and potential buyers of services delivered by human trafficking victims in the sex industry, in order to reduce demand for purchase of sexual services.\n\nThe research into buyers of sex was based on mixed research methodologies. The data collection combined quantitative and qualitative methods. In total 763 buyers of sex participated in either in-depth interviews or an online survey in the five countries (71 face-to-face interviews in two countries and 692 qualified online survey responses out of a total of 2,004 responses received in the rest of the countries). A Research Ethics Framework was drawn up to protect the anonymity of interviewees and to ensure that no safety or security risks existed for interviewers or respondents.\n\nThe main findings are as follows:\n\nThe notable products developed by this project include:\n\nWith the financial support of the Prevention of and Fight against Crime Programme European Commission – Directorate-General Home Affairs."

But do more mature older people receive the identical rewards from lowering cholesterol, and do they deal with extra hazards?\n\nReports have regularly revealed that decreasing LDL cholesterol cuts down cardiac death, coronary heart assaults, stroke, and the want for heart catheterization or bypass medical procedures. It has been shown in sufferers with recognized coronary artery disorder as properly as high-threat individuals without the need of coronary artery illness.\n\nLife-style adjustments can lessen cholesterol figures by about 5% to 10%, while cholesterol-decreasing prescription drugs can lower LDL cholesterol by 50% or additional. For that reason, whilst way of living modifications this sort of as heart-balanced weight loss plans (eg Mediterranean food plan), quitting using tobacco, normal training and bodyweight loss are crucial to reduce cardiovascular risk, medications are frequently necessary to supply extra cardiovascular defense. .\n\nStatins together with atorvastatin (Lipitor), simvastatin (Zocor), rosuvastatin (Crestor), and pravastatin (Pravachol) are the major therapies for lowering LDL. Statins perform by cutting down your body’s production of cholesterol, which promotes the uptake of circulating LDL into the blood by the liver. But the advantage of statins simply cannot be explained only by reducing LDL. scientific tests demonstrate Statins have favorable outcomes on swelling, endothelial dysfunction, and plaque stabilization (when plaque ruptures, it can trigger a heart attack or stroke). Statins have been close to for 40 many years, so we are perfectly informed of their small and long time period protection and usefulness.\n\nEzetimibe (Zetia) is a various sort of LDL-reducing drug. Taken as a tablet, it lowers cholesterol by inhibiting its absorption in the little intestines. Ezetimibe is made use of mainly as an insert-on drug in statins to lower LDL, or in folks who cannot tolerate statins themselves. In older adults, azetimibe by yourself was found to lessen the incidence of heart, but not stroke.\n\nThe medical profit of lowering LDL cholesterol in older older people has been the subject matter of controversy, as folks 75 yrs of age and more mature are generally not bundled in significant numbers in clinical trials. Some have also argued that LDL-a lot less procedure dangers may possibly lessen added benefits for more mature grown ups than youthful grown ups. But the proof debunks this fantasy.\n\nMeta-analyzes and scientific trials suggest that use of statins is not associated with a chance of muscle mass harm, cognitive impairment, most cancers, or hemorrhagic stroke, which do not use statins no matter of age . In the same way, in medical trials, the possibility of liver or kidney injuries is comparable for individuals getting statins or placebo, regardless of age. a prospective review Statins that assessed liver safety in pretty aged sufferers ended up found to be secure in individuals 80 yrs of age and more mature.\n\nThe most common facet impact of statins is muscle soreness, which happens in a lot less than 1% of sufferers. Even though 1 variety of statin causes facet results in a particular person, a further statin may possibly not. Statins can raise blood sugar, but there is no risk of everyone staying in an currently significant state. Equally, the use of izitimib is mostly protected, with diarrhea and higher respiratory bacterial infections becoming the most prevalent facet consequences. In particular, the basic safety profile for ezetimibe in addition statins is for statins by yourself, even in older adults. And last but not least, PCSK9 inhibitors have not been located to raise the possibility of diabetes, neurological diseases, liver injury, or muscle injuries.\n\nThe question is, does the benefit of cholesterol-reducing treatment options lessen threat for older older people? in Systematic review and meta-investigation released in the Lancet, Researchers evaluated the medical rewards of statin and non-statin cholesterol-decreasing remedy for more mature grownups. They did this by extracting and re-examining information from previous studies that evaluated statins and non-statin cholesterol-lowering remedies. The examination involved 21,492 sufferers aged 75 and more mature. Of these, 54.1% of the patients had been involved in the statin test 28.9% in Ezetimibe trials And 16.4% in PCSK9 inhibitor exams.\n\nThe investigators made these crucial observations:\n\nTHC: The Thrilling And Promising Rewards Of Professional medical Hashish\n\nThe future steps of Scala – What to expect from upcoming..."

"Sony has introduced its new controller for the PlayStation 5 named DualSense. It doesn't mean that they have only changed the name, the new controller features a refurbished modern design. There are also a bunch of more features and changes that should bring a completely separate user experience for the better.\n\nThe design of the controller is the first change that you will notice immediately between DualSense and DualShock 4 controllers. The fresher offering looks more smooth and curvy with an overall shape that is not rectangular anymore. Sony has adopted a unique dual-tone color pattern for the new controller. The position of the light bar has also been migrated from the top to each side of the touchpad for a futuristic touch.\n\nThe L2 and R2 buttons have adaptive triggers technology that improves immersion by making the players feel the pressure of the actions likely similar to performing in-game.\n\nSony wanted to make their controller feel smaller as it looks, thus the DualSense controller has a cone-like shape for better grips, by replacing the more rounded grips as we have seen in previous DualShock controllers. The new controller still maintains the rechargeable battery, a feature that comes as an add-on for the Xbox Series X.\n\nThe ‘Share' button, as we have seen on the previous DualShock 4 controller, has been removed with the ‘Create' button on the DualSense controller. The ‘Create' button builds upon the functionality offered by the Share button. We are not having more details about this feature. We will get to know you as the launch date comes close.\n\nAdditionally, there is a built-in microphone arrangement right on the controller which allows players to communicate easily, but whether or not this microphone array will pick up button presses and other ambient noise, has not been defined yet.\n\nThe light bar that was present on the front of the previous DualShock 4 has been moved to either side of the touchpad. The PlayStation blog yet does not mention if the touchpad has been improved in any way. DualSense also supports a new two-tone design with a combination of black and white that is also a variation from the single tone color scheme as we have seen in the previous controllers.\n\nThe PS5 expected launch is around in the holidays season that is normally considered to be the period between Thanksgiving (late November) and Christmas. Jim Ryan, President, and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment say more details about the console will be shared in the coming months.",

"Maurits Cornelis Escher created unique and fascinating artworks that explore and demonstrate a wide range of mathematical ideas. Born in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands in 1898, while he was in school, his family planned to continue his father’s construction career. He started his career as a graphic designer, making woodcuts and lithographs. Later, his half-brother, professor of geology and later rector of Leiden University, Berend, informed him of the latest scientific literature in the field of crystallography.\n\nMany of Escher’s most famous prints were inspired by these visual and theoretical ideas, as geometry and mathematics gradually became key elements in his work. Escher was a 20th century Dutch illustrator whose seminal work explored repetitive patterns, perception, space and transformation. Maurits Cornelis Escher (born 17 June 1898 in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands – 27 March 1972 in Laren) was a Dutch graphic artist known for his Achieve whimsical optical and conceptual effects. Maurits Cornelis Escher was one of the most famous graphic designers in the world.\n\nMaurits Cornelis Escher, better known as M. C. Escher. The Dutch artist Maurits K. Escher (1898–1972) was a draftsman, book illustrator, tapestry designer and muralist, but his main job was as an engraver. Born in Leeuwarden, Holland, the son of a civil engineer, Escher spent most of his childhood in Arnhem.\n\nLike his brothers, Escher received a varied education, including carpentry and piano lessons. The youngest of five siblings, Asher had the ability to visualize clear spatial patterns since childhood, and although he did not excel in many of his early studies, he attended the Harlem School of Architectural and Decorative Arts.\n\nEscher then studied at the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem for several years, but gave up architecture to try to pursue a career as a graphic designer. In the late 1920s, while traveling extensively in Italy and Spain and meeting and marrying his wife Jetta, Escher exhibited regularly in Holland and in 1934 received his first American exhibition award. In 1941, with the outbreak of World War II and the German occupation of Brussels, Escher returned to Holland and settled in Baarn, where he lived and worked until shortly before his death.\n\nWhen he moved from Italy to Switzerland and then to Belgium with his family, he devoted himself to creating a large number of paintings based on perspective and symmetry, which became some of his most famous works. His work received little attention until the 1950s, but in 1956 he had his first major exhibition, appeared in Time magazine, and achieved worldwide fame. However, despite his renown, he has struggled to find critical recognition in the art world, largely due to the highly erudite nature of his work. While other prominent artists have explored mathematical themes in their work, Escher’s art is also closely tied to his love of models and graphic design, and thus lacks the quality of storytelling that critics deem necessary.\n\nEscher’s artistic expressions are created from his imagined images, not directly from sightings and travels in other countries. His multi-layered interest in artistic reality is reflected in works such as Drawing Hands (1948), which shows two hands, each drawing the other. Much of Escher’s later art focused on mathematical forms, such as Möbius Strip II (The Red Ant) (1963) and The Knot (1966), but in his last major work, The Snake His continued fascination with symmetry can be seen in (Serpents, 1969). Color some of his works. Printed in July 1969, the rotationally symmetrical woodcut “Snake” was Escher’s last work before his death in 1972.\n\nEscher’s work can be defined as a form of artistic expression far removed from the usual understanding and perception of space and dimension. Escher’s unique way of thinking and rich graphics had a lasting impact on mathematics and art, as well as popular culture. Escher’s work is still widely reproduced, and his images become a source of inspiration in all areas of popular culture.\n\nAfter Escher’s death in 1972, his most famous images became ubiquitous. Fittingly, given the artists’ mathematical playfulness, some of the richest homages to his work in modern times have come to the video game world. Here, STIR explores some of his most famous works of art, with worldwide recognition among scientists, mathematicians, and artists.\n\nHis first reproduction of impossible reality was Still Life and Street (1937); impossible scales and multiple visual and gravitational perspectives are featured in popular works such as Relativity (1953). They settled in Baarn, where Escher expanded his use of impossible spaces and optical illusions in his art, producing his most famous works during this period. Escher illustrated books, designed tapestries, stamps and frescoes.\n\nHe is the youngest son of civil engineer George Arnold Escher and his second wife Sarah Gleichmann. At the age of seven (1905), he spent most of his time alone, recovering in the sanatorium orphanage in Zandvoort.\n\nEscher enrolled at the Haarlem School of Architecture and Decorative Arts to study architecture, but switched to the decorative arts that same year, studying with graphic artist Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. De Mesquita taught the enthusiast Escher everything he knew about wood-printing techniques, gave him space to experiment, and encouraged him to experiment actively to develop his skills. Escher regularly complained about his lack of natural drawing skills, and as a result, most of his work was time-consuming and required numerous attempts before he was completely happy. Although he was not an outstanding student, his dedication to art was evident, and by 1917, together with his close friend Bas Kist, he was already printing some of his work in the studio of the painter Geert Stegemans. A chance meeting with Samuel Jesserum de Mesquita, a graphics teacher, proved to be a turning point in Escher’s life, and he became convinced that the graphic arts program was more suited to his abilities.\n\nAlthough Escher had no mathematical background – his understanding of mathematics was largely visual and intuitive – his art had a strong mathematical component, and many of the worlds he painted were built around impossible objects. Escher developed a style of print and engraving that played distinctly with orientation and space. Escher was also fascinated by mathematical objects such as the Möbius strip, which has only one surface.\n\nBased on theoretical ideas such as perception, geometry and mathematics, the artist began to create works using the repeated arrangements of intersecting shapes he found in Islamic art. From hand-drawn illustrations to landscape birds, he creates dynamic, illusory designs based on mathematical concepts such as mosaics and perspective. He also explored mezzotint, a demanding and precise metal carving technique with which he produced some of his famous black and white works, including The Eye (1946), The Gallery (1946), Crystal (1947) and Dewdrop (1948).\n\nWhat do you think of the works of Maurits Cornelis Escher?\n\nUse the form below to say your opinion about Maurits Cornelis Escher.

"The UN World Food Programme said on Tuesday that 13 million people across the Horn of Africa face severe hunger, calling for immediate assistance to avoid a repeat of a famine a decade ago that killed hundreds of thousands of people.\n\nThree failed rainy seasons have created the driest conditions since the 1980s, with forecasts of below-average rainfall set to increase suffering in the coming months.\n\n“Harvests are ruined, livestock are dying, and hunger is growing as recurrent droughts affect the Horn of Africa,” said Michael Dunford, Regional Director in the WFP Regional Bureau for Eastern Africa.\n\nThe conditions have decimated livestock, forcing thousands in a region where many are farmers into displacement camps.\n\n“We never experienced this before, we only see dust storms now. We are afraid that they will cover us all and become our graveyard,” said Mohamed Adem from the Somali region of Ethiopia in a WFP video.\n\nAerial footage taken nearby showed vast dusty scrubland strewn with cattle carcasses. In Kebele village, people tied ropes beneath the torso of a thin cow to raise it to its feet.\n\n“Though it is not out of control, there is a severe drought in areas in Somali and some parts of Oromia and Southern regional states,” Ethiopian government spokesperson Legesse Tulu told Reuters. “So the WFP warning is quite right.”\n\nThe drought is also spreading to parts of Kenya, south-central Somalia and Eritrea. Between 2010 and 2012, around 250,000 people died of hunger in Somalia, half of them children.\n\nThe United Nations children’s agency’s Mohamed Fall warned at the same briefing that many children will die or suffer from life-long cognitive or physical damage without quick action to avoid famine.\n\n“We need to act now to prevent catastrophe,” he said by phone from Nairobi, adding that 5.5 million children in the four countries are currently threatened with acute malnutrition.\n\nWFP, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2020, is launching its regional response plan for the Horn of Africa this week and calling for $327 million. UNICEF is seeking $123 million"

"Making more than 100 first-team appearances in gold and black after progressing through the Wolves Academy as a young trainee, Jamie Smith is using the knowledge he gained at Molineux in his current footballing role.\n\nThe full-back, who spent seven years at Wolves before a seven-year stint at Crystal Palace, is now the head coach of West Bromwich Albion’s under-23 side, but the 44-year-old still looks back at his time across the Black Country with fondness.\n\nThanks for your time Jamie. Firstly, how did you become part of the Wolves Academy?\n\nI started playing Sunday League football and got scouted by Ron Jukes when I was in the under-16s playing for a team over in Redditch called Feckenham, in the Central Warwickshire League. Ron asked me to come in to Wolves, so I played a few games and I was lucky enough to be asked to sign as an apprentice – well a YTS (Youth Training Scheme) as it was then. Before that point, I was just playing with my mates and for local teams, but I did have trials at a few clubs. I trained at Blackburn a few times, went up there in the school holidays, and they also offered me a YTS, but I turned them down and thankfully signed for Wolves.\n\nWhat were some of your earliest memories of being a young player at Wolves?\n\nJust how hard it was, because as an apprentice it wasn’t easy. I thought it would’ve just been about playing football all day long and that would be it, but obviously it wasn’t. It was long days, I was leaving the house at seven o’clock in the morning, not getting back till seven at night, and everything that goes on around it. The responsibilities of your jobs off the pitch was a big thing; cleaning boots, the changing rooms, the showers, but all of that was brilliant and gives you a great grounding – that togetherness of everybody mucking in – for the rest of your career. A lot of the principles that we learnt could be installed today, just to give the young lads the grounding of how tough it is to make it, not just in football but in life.\n\nHow did your time as an apprentice at Wolves help you in your career as a professional footballer?\n\nFor me, it was the grounding. I think young players today are mollycoddled a little bit and are given too much too early at times, which doesn’t help later in life, especially if they don’t make it and have to stand on their own two feet. But the mentality that we were taught; to be respectful, humble, and work hard, really helps you in life, whatever career path you end up going down. One of the key things I want from my young players is for them to work hard, try their best, and to be humble if they have success.",

"It was unbelievable. When I was a kid, if anyone ever asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up it was to be a footballer, so to sign the contract and become that was an unbelievable experience. It was challenging once you got into the first-team, it was tough, but Wolves had some extremely good senior pros around at that time who would offer you so much support and help. People like Geoff Thomas, Peter Shirtliff, ‘Bully’, ‘Thommo’, Don Goodman, Dave Kelly, really helped me through when I first stepped up. But I think the way I played; I worked hard, I was humble, I was respectful, I got my head down, I grafted, and that helped gain the respect of the first-team players, which probably made that transition easier.\n\nYou went on to have a great career, playing for Crystal Palace in the Premier League, but do you have a favourite moment as a player?\n\nMaking my Wolves league debut against Reading. No doubt about it. It was a culmination of all that hard work that you’d put in for so many years, all those dreams as a kid that you have, and you finally achieve it and step out on the pitch at Molineux for your debut, it was like a massive dream. It’s difficult to put into words the emotions I felt when I pulled on the Wolves shirt for the first time. It was an unbelievable experience – I was so proud and excited. My actual first game was in a friendly against Manchester United that pre-season, which was my first real taste of senior football, although it wasn’t a league game, but my league debut was one of the proudest moments of my career.\n\nFinally, is there one piece of advice you learnt during your time as a young player at Wolves which you pass on to those you currently work with?\n\nIt’s a tough business for the young players coming through now, especially with the way football currently is, but I tell my players not to have any regrets. I don’t want them to look in the mirror in ten years’ time and think ‘I wish I could’ve, I should’ve, I didn’t’ – just give everything you’ve got, so when you do look in the mirror, whenever that journey ends, you can say that you gave your all. There’s going to be lots of set-backs and knocks along the way, but you need to have that resilience, work as hard as you can, so you don’t have any regrets.\n\nThis article first appeared in the Wolves versus Leicester Premier League matchday programme, which is available around Molineux on matchdays for just £3.50, and also featured content with Helder Costa, Raul Jimenez and Matt Jarvis. Back issues are available in the Molineux Megastore and online now."

"Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, officials said, just two days after he received his first vaccination against the disease.\n\nThe former cricket player received a shot of the Chinese-produced Sinopharm vaccine on Thursday, as the country battles a third wave of the virus.\n\n“At this point, the prime minister’s office can only confirm that the honourable prime minister has tested positive for Covid-19 and has self-isolated,” his office said.\n\nAccording to his spokesman, Shahbaz Gill, Khan was suffering from a mild cough and a mild fever. Shahbaz said the positive test was performed on Saturday.\n\nHis aides were quick to put distance between the diagnosis and his first jab of the two-dose vaccine.\n\n“Please do not link it to the corona vaccine. Immunity develops a few weeks after the vaccine is given. Make sure to vaccinate your elders and loved ones. Be careful,” Gill added.\n\nThe PM was probably infected before he was vaccinated, during a series of public engagements, according to information minister Shibli Faraz.\n\nEarlier Saturday, the leader’s adviser on health Faisal Sultan also said the increase in positive virus cases over the past few days was “alarming”.\n\nAccording to him, this increase has caused a strain on the country’s healthcare system, particularly in the country’s most populous province of Punjab.\n\nCase numbers were trending upward in recent weeks, soon after the UK variant was first reported in Karachi in late December.\n\nMore than 620,000 cases and nearly 13,800 deaths have been reported since the pandemic reached the country. Limited testing and further research have also suggested that the numbers are underreported, meaning the figures are probably much higher.\n\nImpoverished Pakistan has largely avoided the major lockdowns seen in other countries, instead opting for “smart” lockdown policies which see neighbourhoods closed off for short periods, as well restrictions on indoor dining and large gatherings.\n\nDespite these measures, however, many guidelines have been ignored, with Sultan criticising “a lack of administrative action and a lack of public compliance”.\n\nBeijing has donated one million vaccine doses to Pakistan, which the country of more than 220 million has begun administering to health workers and people over 65 years of age.\n\nShortly after the pandemic began, Khan had addressed the nation, telling citizens to remain calm. “97 per cent of patients fully recover”, he had said.\n\nMonths later though, Khan once again chided citizens for their lackadaisical approach to fighting the pandemic. “People are not taking it seriously,” he said."

"\"It's amazing, within 24 hours of changing your title, the number of agencies that can talk to you,\" Mr. Anderson said with a laugh.\n\nIt's also odd so many agencies would so aggressive pitch a company that spent just $10 million on marketing in 2012. But as Mr. Anderson's hire as Roku's first CMO illustrates, the company and its marketing are poised to grow significantly over the next several years.\n\nRoku, which sells the eponymous set-top box that brings streaming video and apps to TVs, was founded in 2002. But it rose to prominence only in the past several years, as consumer appetite for streaming video has grown. The average time consumers spend per day using set-top boxes increased to 36 minutes this year from 26 minutes in 2010, according to eMarketer. Roku reports even higher usage among its base. Mr. Anderson said time spent streaming on Roku is up 84% in the past year, with the average user spending 13 hours per week on the device.\n\nAmid that growth, Roku has become the U.S. market leader. A study released in August by market research firm Parks Associates found that Roku was the most popular streaming device among U.S. households that owned one. Thirty-seven percent of respondents said they used Roku, while Apple's competing device, Apple TV, ranked as the second most popular at 24%.\n\n\"The next 18 months are going to see the category move very, very quickly,\" Mr. Anderson said. \"The big challenge is to let people know about the quality Roku [offers] and compare it as [competitors] enter the market.\"\n\nThose entrants include Apple and Google, tech companies that have become household names thanks to their aggressive product development and marketing. Both Apple and Google were among the top 100 U.S. ad spenders in 2012 -- No. 60 and No. 28, respectively, according to Ad Age DataCenter -- and that was before they made TV-based video streaming a priority.\n\nApple CEO Tim Cook said earlier this year the tech giant has a \"grand vision\" for TV, leading many to speculate that the company's Sept. 10 product announcement will include an Apple TV improvement or, more dramatically, an Apple-made TV. Even if neither prediction proves true, Apple has already improved its device by forging content partnerships with Disney, HBO, ESPN and Vevo, among others, in 2013.\n\nGoogle, meanwhile, released its video-streaming dongle, Chromecast, in July. The product was instantly successful, so much so that Google had to cancel its \"three free months of Netflix with Chromecast purchase\" promotion just a day after the product was released, citing overwhelming demand.\n\n\"Google and Apple have more touch points with consumers,\" Forrester analyst James McQuivey said, regarding some of the challenges Roku faces. \"Roku still has to come from out of nowhere in the customer experience, whereas Apple basically sells Apple TV as an add-on to the iPad.\"\n\nBeyond that, nearly all set-top boxes are aesthetically and functionally similar: tiny black devices that plug into a TV's HDMI input, thus making it internet capable.\n\nMr. Anderson said Roku differs in that it offers a range of products at different price points, and it has one unique feature: The Roku remote control includes a headphone port so users can listen to TV privately. Nearly half of Roku owners with the private audio feature use it, Mr. Anderson said.\n\nBut if Mr. Anderson hopes to retain the company's position atop the burgeoning set-top market, Roku will have to beat Apple and Google in terms of content, not technology.\n\n\"This is not a tech play at all,\" Gartner analyst Brian Blau said. \"Roku is interesting because it has lots of apps. ... What they can do is talk about all the wonderful content they have.\"\n\nTo this end, Mr. Anderson, who has served as a strategic adviser to Roku the past year, has a wealth of broadcast-marketing experience he can draw upon. His introduction to Roku occurred when he was News Corp.'s group director for strategy and corporate affairs in Europe and Asia. News Corp. was looking to partner with emerging tech companies and Roku immediately \"stood out,\" Mr. Anderson said. Prior to that, he worked in communications and brand marketing for British Sky Broadcasting.\n\nContent partnerships will be just one of Mr. Anderson's focuses, however. He said that while he will work closely with Roku's CEO and CFO, his primary concern will be overseeing the marketing efforts for the company's three divisions: device sales, TV manufacturer partnerships and content partnerships.\n\nMr. Anderson said the company's consumer marketing will focus on digital and target urban consumers. Although the company will likely be spending more than in past years, the message, he said, will not be complicated.\n\n\"If you go to CES, you see all sorts of ideas that you're not exactly sure people are asking for,\" he said. \"They just want to enjoy TV simply.\"",

"PASIGHAT, Apr 4: The East Siang district administration has converted the Sikshak Sadan here into a relief camp for migrant/stranded labourers.\nDeputy Commissioner Kinny Singh, who along with the DDMO and other officers inspected the camp on Saturday, instructed the designated relief officer to ensure that the labourers who are stranded in the district are provided with food, shelter and medicines.\n“Adequate food items, including LPG, should be provided immediately, ensuring that no person goes to bed without food,” she said.\nAccording to an official source, the administration has till date provided rations to 80 stranded labourers, students, and daily wage earners.\nSix labourers who were working in Siluk, and five persons who were working in Suple village in neighbouring Siang district were brought to the relief camp here on Saturday.\nThe DC said the officers of the district are doing their best to contain the coronavirus.\n“Bordering Ruksin has been sealed and restricted for all kinds of movement, but the area is surrounded by forests and is porous in nature. The check gate is under constant vigil and chance of escape by anyone is very less,” Singh said.\nShe also asked the media to “verify such issues and include the administration’s comments while filing any report on escape or trespassing.”\nMeanwhile, the DC has issued an order directing all the sectors and villages under the Pasighat sadar to dismantle all the temporary gates in the areas in order to allow movement of essential services providers.\n\nIn Namsing, where the waterway has been put under lockdown till 14 April, a team led by Circle Officer Khoda Lasa carried out an extensive drive along the Taro-Tamak river, upto the boundary with Assam, and seized 14 canoes and motor-operated boats.\nThe forest authority has been instructed to set up a camp at the confluence of the Siang and the Taro-Tamak rivers to prevent the movement of any boat towards Namsing from Dhola, Tinsukia and Dibrugarh in Assam.\nThe road from Ngopok to the Taro-Tamak ghat is under complete lockdown.

"We all know the classic tale of cursed objects or items. Whether ancient, sacred relics from distant lands or one-time possessions of a disturbed individual, bad things happen to people who come into contact with them.\n\nBut did you know that some actual, real-life object bear a genuine bona-fide curse? Or at least people claim they do.\n\nHere are four items from around the world that said to be cursed, or haunted in some other manner. Or, in the worst-case scenario, both.",

"Burton Agnes Hall is an impressive Elizabethan-era manor. Completed in 1610, it towers over the British countryside in its eponymous village near the British west coast.\n\nBut the Great Hall of the manor holds a sinister secret. According to the legend, the skull of Katherine “Anne” Griffith — the youngest daughter of the manor’s first owner Sir Henry Griffith — is hidden somewhere within its walls.\n\nIn 1620, robbers attacked and badly beat Anne. Before she died of her wounds, she made her family promise that they’d sever her head and bury it win the walls of the Hall which she loved so much.\n\nThat’s just what they did. And that’s why Anne has never left the building.\n\nHer spirit supposedly still roams the halls, and screams through her skull at anyone coming too close it. No one knows exactly where the skull is hidden, but at least the manor has someone to watch over it… Forever.\n\nThe Te Papa Tongarewa museum in Wellington houses many objects that illustrate the rich history of the island’s native Maori people. Among them are multiple masks, once worn by Maori warriors, and they’re a sight to see — unless you’re pregnant or menstruating.\n\nAccording to Maori beliefs, the masks — and many other treasures in the museum — house a wairua, or a spirit. The presence of spirits makes them tapu, or sacred objects that must be handled and respected in a certain way.\n\nThose same beliefs also dictate that pregnant or menstruating women are a tapu of their own. And the spirits in women and the masks really, really do not mix.\n\nIf the two came into contact with each other, the clash of the spirits would surely curse one or the other — or both. Local tribes have made demands that the tapu rules be followed, lest a horrible fate befall everyone involved.\n\nAs a result, in 2010, the Te Papa Tongarewa museum asked pregnant women to avoid visiting the museum. “Pregnant women are sacred and the policy is in place to protect them from these objects,” a museum spokeswoman said at the time.",

"To begin with, the Delphi Purple Sapphire isn’t actually a sapphire. Instead, it’s an amethyst — as its nickname, the Cursed Amethyst, states more accurately.\n\nThe jewel currently resides in the Natural History Museum in London. And like so many other artefacts there, it was acquired through less-than-honest means.\n\nColonel W. Ferris, a cavalryman, stole the jewel in 1857 from a temple dedicated to Lord Indra, a Hindu god of thunder, rain, and war. As you probably know, stealing treasures from ancient gods is rarely a good idea.\n\nAnd it certainly wasn’t in the Cursed Amethyst’s case. Practically all of its owners have met with misery and misfortune, be they bankruptcies, illness, or otherwise.\n\nFor example, a singer who received the jewel as a gift in 1890 lost her voice for good. Recently, when a curator from the museum took the jewel to a symposium, his car got stuck in a horrendous thunderstorm.\n\nAnd what was it that Lord Indra is the god of?\n\nIn 1955, while filming his famous movie Rebel Without a Cause, James Dean bought a Porsche 550 Spyder. The once Hollywood superstar loved his ride and affectionately named it the Little Bastard.\n\nUnfortunately, he didn’t get to enjoy the car for long. Merely a week later, Dean died in an accident while breaking in the Little Bastard.\n\nThe tragic incident didn’t come as a surprise to actor Alec Guinness (of the original Obi-Wan Kenobi fame). He claimed to having had a premonition about Dean’s fate as soon as he saw the Porsche.\n\nAfter Dean’s death, part from the Little Bastard were recycled to other cars. Its engine, transmission, and suspension went into two different race cars, who happened to participate in the same race.\n\nNeither came out of it. Both cars crashed during the race, and only one of the drivers survived.\n\nIn a separate incident, The Little Bastard’s tires, also placed in a different car, reportedly all blew out at the same time. The car’s body has also fallen on two different people while it’s been exhibited and serviced.\n\nClearly, the Little Bastard is just out for blood. Luckily, it disappeared without a trace in 1960."

"Apple has snatched the No 1 position from Samsung to lead the table in the EMEA tablet market that overall saw a decline of 10.9% shipping only 9.7 million units in the first quarter of 2019, an IDC report says.\n\nDemand remains weak in the consumer segment as the lack of compelling reasons for consumers to refresh their tablets has slowed the pace of device renewals. Apple emerged as the clear winner in the first quarter, regaining the number 1 position in EMEA, with an impressive run of six consecutive positive YoY quarter performances in the declining market.\n\nThe research firm said the market consolidation continues as more b-brands and local champions either exit or become less relevant.\n\nThe commercial segment continues to consistently outperform the market average. It only represents around a fifth of the overall market in EMEA, however, so its growth in 2019Q1 did not offset the decline in the consumer space.\n\n\"The proliferation of use cases across multiple key industries such as the financial sector, retail, transportation, and education is creating very interesting pockets of growth for tablet devices,\" said Daniel Goncalves, senior research analyst, IDC Western European Personal Computing Devices. \"As the erosion of the consumer space shows no signs of slowing down, enterprise is the only real opportunity for growth, so cooperation with vertical-specific resellers and the creation of scalable end-to-end solutions are vital.\"\n\n\"While consumer demand in the CEE region remained in negative territory during the first quarter of 2019, the commercial segment increased by double digits as it benefitted from significant deliveries to the telco and banking sectors in Poland,\" said Nikolina Jurisic, product manager, IDC CEMA.\n\nApple regained market leadership in EMEA as it continues to grab share from Android, boosted by last year's iPad release.\n\nSamsung remains strong across the three subregions despite the double-digit decline, especially in the CEMA region where it holds the number 1 position.\n\nHuawei was third and posted a flat performance, leveraging the growing strength of the brand in the region before the recent boycotting of its products by many prominent players in the industry following the U.S. ban.\n\nLenovo continues to shift its focus away from tablets in favor of a stronger presence in the PC market.\n\nAmazon held on to its top 5 ranking as a result of the very aggressive price points of its Fire devices.",

"It looks like we must say farewell to another science fiction TV show that had so much promise. Syfy’s wacky outbreak thriller just couldn’t cut it with viewers in its second season. I don’t blame the network. The Nielsen ratings dropped a shocking 59% over the course of the second season.\n\nWhy did Helix fail to maintain the attention of viewers in its second season? This is not one of those situations where people gave up on a show too quickly. I watched the entire second season and was increasingly disappointed with the direction they took the characters and the plot with every episode. This show, whose first season completely swept me off my feet, had turned into something that made me reluctant to watch the season finale that had been sitting untouched in my DVR for several weeks.\n\nThat being said, I HIGHLY recommend watching the first season of Helix. It’s crazy good, emphasis on the crazy. I mean, it has Billy Campbell and the cheekiest soundtrack in the history of television – what more could you want? It’s exciting, terrifying and completely deserving of the show’s hashtag #WhatTheHelix. Unfortunately, that momentum sputtered and died fairly quickly after the start of its sophomore year.\n\nHere are some of the ways that Helix failed its fans after that stellar first season.\n\nSPOILERS, obviously, for both seasons of Helix. Again, I don’t recommend the second one so if you’ve seen the first season feel free to read on and spare yourself.",

"In the second season, there’s a new outbreak on a remote island completely unrelated to the one in the first season. I understand the fear a writer might have that viewers would get bored with the same virus, but by the end of the first season we still didn’t fully understand Narvik-B. The show essentially jumps forward without really addressing the outbreak to our satisfaction.\n\nAnyway, on this island there’s this crazy cult leader, Michael, and naturally he’s evil and creepy and ruins everything. Really, guys? A cult? We’re going to fall back on that obvious premise? Anyway, the cult does cult-y things like centuries of incest and isolating children from their birth parents. Any daughter of immortal cult leader Michael who refuses to sleep with their DAD is tied up, mutilated and raped repeatedly. As viewers, it’s easy to access this because cults are bad and full of sadistic nutjobs.\n\nHowever, when the show decided that Peter would turn from kind of a jerk to a full blown megalomaniac devoid of sympathy, that’s where they lost me. I understand that in the time between the seasons, Peter and Alan’s relationship became incredibly strained. I mean, I’d be pissed off too if my brother left me in a hole in the basement after I’d helped him escape, but I wouldn’t turn into a crazed murderer after an unpleasant timeout. No matter how much build-up they tried to do leading up to it, I just wasn’t going to buy Peter accepting that it’s ok to tie up women in a dungeon and rape them until you feel the urge to violently end their misery. There’s no questioning on his end of the sick scene he sees before him. Peter essentially shrugs his shoulders and starts making out with Creepy Island Chick #2.",
null,
"With the first season of Helix, every character had his or her secrets and made decisions that alternately had us loving or hating them. In the second season, it’s difficult to root for any character. Alan is obsessed with killing immortals. Julia’s only priority is staying in the good graces of Ilaria, even if she is trying to stop them from killing most of the world’s population. Sergio bangs Julia and then essentially disappears from the show. Sarah rarely stops crying and whining about her stupid immortal fetus (which is for some reason several months along even though she became immortal six days after getting pregnant). Kyle is alright, but we learn nothing about him so it’s difficult to care. Hatake went from a little crazy to full on, straightjacket insane. Peter’s character development is thrown out the window so that he can become an exact replica of Michael after the cult leader is out of the picture. Every single one of the characters on the island sucks.\n\nWhile the appeal of the first season of Helix was its craziness, there was always a grounding in reality that made us identify with the characters. Yes, bizarre things happened but there was always a sense that these were real people stuck in this life-threatening situation. In the second season, it almost became farcical. Everyone is crazy! There’s no hope for good, so morals are useless. Also, just about every character cries or screams at least once every episode. It’s exhausting.\n\nSyfy was right to cancel Helix. I’m disappointed that this series, which started out so strong, wasn’t able to maintain its initial level of quality storytelling. Perhaps the show would have worked better as a miniseries. The writers could have easily found a way to wrap up the story at the research facility in the Arctic with a nice little bow. Unfortunately, what we got was a sophomore slump for the record books.\n\nIf you enjoyed Marlo’s traitorous rejection of one of her favorite shows, you can find the rest of her work right HERE on Sci-Fi Bloggers. You can also follow her on Twitter @marloclingman, like her on Facebook, or add her to your network on Google."

"Shawn Mendes is wearing his heart on his sleeve.\n\nThe singer, 23, released the emotional breakup ballad \"It'll Be Okay\" on Wednesday, exactly two weeks after he and girlfriend Camila Cabello called it quits after more than two years of dating.\n\nIn the soft, piano-backed melancholic track, Mendes details the end of a turbulent relationship as he sings, \"the future we dreamed of is fading to black.\" In the chorus, however, he transitions into a hopeful attitude of healing and acceptance as he repeatedly sings, \"it'll be okay.\"\n\nFor more on Shawn Mendes' new song \"It'll Be Okay\" and other top stories, listen below to our daily podcast on PEOPLE Every Day.\n\nMendes first announced the song's release on Tuesday, teasing lyrics that said, \"Are we gonna make it? / Is this gonna hurt?\"\n\nOn the morning of the song's release day, the \"Wonder\" singer shared a photo of a sun illuminating a beach with an orange glow to social media.\n\n\"It feels like I havnt [sic] truly connected with you guys in a while,\" he wrote. \"I miss you I hope you love this song.\"\n\n\"It'll Be Okay\" comes two weeks to the day that Mendes and Cabello, 24, announced their breakup with a joint statement shared to social media.\n\nThe two shared a joint statement to their respective Instagram Stories on Nov. 17, writing: \"Hey guys, we've decided to end our romantic relationship but our love for one another as humans is stronger than ever ❤️. We started our relationship as best friends and will continue to be best friends.\"\n\nThe \"Señorita\" singers were friends for several years before they started dating in July 2019.\n\nMendes said his most recent single, \"Summer of Love,\" was inspired by the idyllic first few months of lockdown, in which the couple quarantined together in Miami.\n\nStill, a source previously told PEOPLE that once their schedules picked up again, things just weren't the same.\n\n\"They had this intense relationship last year and spent months together during the lockdown in Miami. They both seemed very happy and looked like they enjoyed having a break from working,\" the source said. \"Things are different now, though. It's more back to normal life. They have careers that are taking them in different directions. They went from spending every day together to now not really spending any time together.\"",

"0 Ragley Hall - To The Manor Born\n\nMeeting the needs of the organisers of major public events alongside a commercial farming operation and a historic house, gardens and park is quite some balancing act.",
null,
"It's a task which grows year on year for the team at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, home to leading country sports event the Game Fair, the APF Forestry Show and, from 2020, the Grassland and Muck farming demonstration. A full calendar of smaller public events, private functions and Ragley's own programme of hall and garden attractions means that there is rarely a quiet spell.\n\n\"It's a question of thorough forward planning and taking the opportunity of any quieter times, such as the winter months, to do major renovation and restoration work,\" explains farm manager Hamish Stewart, who has responsibility for the estate's 3,500 acres of arable and grass farmland as well the parkland, and has to draw up his grazing plan up to twelve months ahead.\n\nRagley recently celebrated sixty years of being open to the public, after the current Marquess of Hertford's father began to look at ways of generating income to help restore and maintain the estate in 1958.\n\n\"There was tremendous public interest, with reports of cars queueing back along the drive and the local roads,\" explains head gardener Mark Morrell. \"However, there is a lot more competition these days, with a number of historic properties locally, so events and private functions have gained in importance.\"\n\nHe adds that, like many historic properties, Ragley has had a chequered history, with significant work required to restore the estate when Lord Hertford took over in the middle of the 20th century.\n\nWith a growing demand for outdoor events, concerts and festivals, the 500-acre grounds have proved to be a significant asset.",
null,
"\"We have to manage the grounds as broad acres, using machinery that can maintain the grass efficiently and quickly rather than having a member of staff dedicated to grass cutting,\" explains Hamish. \"We also have 1200 ewes and can graze it although, to meet environmental health regulations, they have to be off an event site twenty-eight days before it begins.\"\n\nHe admits that it can be a juggling act some years: \"In summer, we can either have too much grass and need to keep cutting it, or no grass at all which makes the park rather arid. And it's important not to let the grass get too long, as the clippings look untidy and can be a fire hazard.\"\n\nThe main grass cutting tool is a Spearhead Multicut 8.2m rotary mower with mulching blades to give a tidy finish, whilst Spearhead toppers are also used where presentation is less crucial.\n\n\"Correct machine set-up is important, as the parkland is undulating, and scalping is a risk with such a wide mower, yet we need to be able to cut tight,\" comments Hamish. \"However, we do have the advantage of using GPS autosteer on the tractors to ensure that each pass matches up accurately on the large areas that we cut.\"\n\nTiming is another issue, with grass cutting having to be fitted in around busy farming periods, such as lambing and harvest.\n\nHe adds event traffic is the biggest headache when taking the grounds back after a major event, although the well-established parkland turf is fairly resilient and recovers well from damage.",
null,
null,
"\"We appreciated that this year - despite the driest summer on record, it rained during our three busiest events! The sward carries traffic fairly well and the soil doesn't rut, plus trackway is used for the major events to protect the ground.\"\n\nChoice of grasses for renovation is restricted by the estate's parkland restoration programme which aims to maintain the original character of parkland turf.\n\n\"We can't decompact to any depth because of the services, so our programme involves aerating, harrowing and rolling,\" Hamish explains.\n\nWeed control also has to take into account the parkland environment, so weed-wiping is used to control nettles and thistles without affecting favourable species, with spot spraying required under trees.\n\n\"We have a huge weed bank and, in any bare areas that occur, weeds spring up. But we try to be selective.\"\n\nTractors - with the exception of a John Deere compact in the gardens - are run year-round on agricultural tyres, but he comments that the latest Michelins can be run at low inflation pressures and flex to protect the turf.\n\nThe Ragley team are also carrying out a programme to restore parkland features such as a header pond and cascades at the top of the lake, originally created by Capability Brown when the park was landscaped in 1750.",
null,
"\"We don't have an archivist, so we've done a lot of research into the original features ourselves, using search engines, old papers and publications,\" comments Mark.\n\nHamish adds: \"It's fascinating, but there seems to be a lot of detail on some features and nothing on others. We discovered that Capability Brown used smaller drops in cascades and built them in brick, so the steeper stone parts would appear to be a later addition.\"\n\nUncovered original documents and new technology have been married in a project to replant trees in their original positions - original maps are overlaid onto modern maps and GPS positioning used to site the trees precisely.\n\nThe project was close to the 8th Marquess's heart and a large number of sixty-year-old trees planted to commemorate his heir's birth are thriving in the parkland; many are cherry, providing a welcome harbinger of spring.\n\nThe original trees are said to be part of the ancient Forest of Arden, and the estate has one person dedicated to tree care.\n\n\"There are 1200 acres of woodland, some of which is commercial and some managed for forestry but, on the parkland, we always have to consider safety, especially with the older oaks,\" comments Hamish.",
null,
null,
"Reinstating the original cleft oak deer fence is also ongoing, although this may not have found favour in the past - local legend suggests that, due to a lack of interest in deer farming during World War I, the estate's herd were turned loose in the local countryside!\n\nGrass exhibition areas, campsites and car parks for events such as the APF and Grassland and Muck events are effectively grown as a 'crop'.\n\n\"After the APF show, we ploughed up the show site ready for a crop of wheat to be drilled. Any damage is less of an issue long term as the grass is only down for a year and you then get the opportunity to 'press the reset button'.\"\n\nFarm equipment is used to establish the grass, but seed is double drilled or broadcast behind a cultivator to avoid emergence in rows.\n\n\"We use our Vaderstad drill with the back end lifted out and blow the seed on to spread it using a Stocks broadcaster,\" explains Hamish.\n\nHusbandry of these areas is a nifty mix of farming and groundsmanship, and a crop of silage or hay may be taken off the grass before the event.\n\n\"We have to be aware of the impact of the previous crop on the grass for events, for example treating any weeds that come up,\" he comments.\n\nGround preparations have to be completed well in advance for handover to the event organisers - for a major event such as the Game Fair, contractors can be onsite for a total of twelve weeks.",
null,
null,
"There will be some overlap between the Grassland and Muck and APF event breakdown and build-up in 2020, so this will also have to be factored in.\n\nSome clients carry out their own extensive site works as part of their booking - the Game Fair takes out and later replaces park fencing to suit the exhibition layout and has developed a game cover area for gundog competitions, whilst Grassland and Muck organiser, the Royal Agricultural Society, will grow individual grass variety demonstration plots on behalf of exhibitors.\n\nRagley has been able to turn this cooperation to its advantage in some areas; where new trees have been planted to replace those from the original Capability Brown landscape, several of the tree shelters have been installed by the Game Fair to hide fibre optic service points.\n\nThe twenty-six acre gardens, previously open to the public five days a week, are now reserved for specific garden activities and for events, functions and private tours.\n\n\"We have autumn garden days in October and snowdrop days in February, and the gardens play a key role in the many weddings and other functions,\" explains Mark.\n\nThey have an interesting history, being a relatively recent addition, he explains.",
null,
null,
"The Rose Garden / Marquee damage on the main lawn\n\n\"The current house was originally planned in 1680, although there had previously been a house where the rose garden now stands. In fact, the 'new' house was not decorated and furnished until 1750, so the two houses stood side by side. Before Robert Marnock was commissioned to design the gardens in 1873, livestock were grazed right up to the terrace!\"\n\nTo manage labour costs, and accommodate a wider range of uses, former flowerbeds immediately behind the house are now lawned to accommodate marquees.\n\n\"Ragley is very popular for weddings and, as the Great Hall can only seat 180, we add marquees which can take 400-500 people,\" he explains. \"It can take its toll on the grass, especially in a dry year such as this.\"\n\nMark comments that the rose garden is the main focus, but another key attraction is the winter garden, home to eighty varieties of snowdrop, drawing crowds of enthusiasts as well as the general public in February.",
null,
null,
"A wildflower garden has replaced formal flowerbeds shown in 1920s photographs and provides an attractive interface between the parkland and rose garden for guests.\n\nThe reduced opening hours make for easier management, he reflects, especially when carrying out renovation projects.\n\n\"We are currently clearing and replanting wildlife ponds, which have to be cordoned off when any events are using the gardens, and, when the summer bedding comes out, we plant 6,000 tulip bulbs.\"\n\nHowever, winter events still have to be accommodated with an uphill struggle to renovate lawns after November's Frost Fair.\n\nWith two years under his belt as head gardener, Mark has got to grips with the garden's challenges and is planning a number of developments.\n\n\"The many mature trees mean that the lower part of the garden is dry and shady, so planting has to take this into account. I'm aiming to improve the flow between the different areas, such as the stumpery and herbaceous borders, and to redevelop others that are not working well.\"\n\nThis has included removing large amounts of bulrushes from the wildlife ponds, home to four engaging sculptures of the Marquess's children, and establishing water lilies; creating new paths and viewpoints between the features and replacing annuals in the secret garden with perennials.\n\nWith a birds' eye views into the expansive parkland, the garden provides an added dimension for event organisers. It also gives their audiences a unique up-close glimpse of the heart of this historic estate where the committed owners and estate team have safeguarded its future by proving that a commercial enterprise can co-exist with a family home."

"\nBefore announcing a new Lumia (probably the 928) in a few days, Nokia has added another new entry to their Asha lineup, the 501 coming in 6 different bold colours with an attractive price tag of only $99. The Asha series, being very affordable, is aimed at emerging markets such as those in Latin America, India and Bangladesh. Sadly, according to Nokia it won’t be shipping to North America anytime soon but will be available in Europe.",
null,
"Weighing only 98g and measuring 99.2mm x 58mm x 12.1mm, the 501 comes with a 3” display with a QVGA resolution of 320 x 240 covered with hardened glass on the front. Users will have the option between choosing from two screens, the Home and Fastlane. Home screen is the traditional display with apps in an icon-based view, pretty much the traditional system. Fastlane screen is the new addition where it shows the recent accessed contacts, apps, social networks, overview of past and present activities etc. This feature totally depends on the user and is unique to each person.",
null,
"The phone comes with an LCD transmissive display technology with an aspect ratio of 4:3 having a pixel density of 133 ppi. From the pictures posted in their press release, the display looks impressively sharp in such a small device.\n\nThe 501 comes with only a rear 3.2 megapixel camera with no front camera thus the user will not be able to make any video calls. Here’s the catch, Asha does not run on the Windows Phone 8 OS, rather on Nokia’s own software specially made for Asha. It is very simple and looks very neat. However those who are used to Android or iOS would find this to be rather outdated.\n\nAccording to Nokia’s press release, lots of apps such as eBuddy, WhatsApp, Foursquare, Facebook, Nimbuzz, Twitter and more are heading towards Asha 501.\n\nAsha 501 will only support 2G as that’s widely available for the target market. With a 1200 mAh battery power, users will be able to talk for 17 hours, have 1152 hours of standby time and 56 hours of music playback time.The phone comes with a 4GB microSD card but users are able to expand that upto 32GB. It will be coming in either as a single or dual SIM version.\n\nIf you’re craving for the Galaxy S4/ Blackberry Z10/ HTC One, you can safely overlook this phone but if you just want something simple, this would be a good buy. From my perspective, size does matter these days. As it would fit easily in your pockets, it wouldn’t be an obstruction to movement as some phones tend to be these days. Keep in mind that this is targeted to Indian subcontinent users, and not everyone has the capability of owning expensive smartphones. Most of the target market tend to use public transport a lot, and in areas where crime is rampant, carrying this small inexpensive phone wouldn’t cause too much of a headache.\n\nThe Nokia Asha 501 will be available in coming June."

"The podcast market will discover the answer to a foundational question about its future in the next few years. Will it continue along the path of music streaming, where all podcasts are available everywhere on free, ad-supported tiers? Or, will it follow the path of streaming TV into paid subscription services with exclusive content?\n\nToday, effectively all of the industry’s revenue is from advertising — at least in the United States. However, we’re seeing the first steps being taken toward paid subscriptions and exclusive content. Based on numerous discussions I’ve had with top figures in podcasting over the last month, it’s clear that popular shows are getting large offers for exclusivity on podcasting platforms, major Hollywood players are entering the market and some top VCs are willing to back new streaming platforms taking a Netflix approach to podcasts (like Luminary Media, which raised a $40 million seed round).\n\nMany in the industry are deeply skeptical of that business model, and for good reason: We don’t have concrete evidence that consumers in the U.S. will pay for podcasts and ad revenue is becoming quite lucrative for the top shows as the format gains popularity. But that precedent has hardly been entrenched, as the sector is only just now gaining mainstream consumer interest and getting attention from Hollywood.\n\nAnd, there’s a macro problem with betting on ads. The dominance of Facebook and Google over all digital ad spending has already driven a shift to subscriptions across music, video and publishing. Even with dramatic market growth, podcasting doesn’t have a comparative advantage in competing against the scale and ad-targeting of the duopoly.\n\nSubscription tiers and exclusive shows (akin to Netflix Originals) can, on the other hand, provide a virtuous cycle of quality content and stable revenue, generating recurring revenue directly from consumers who might ultimately pay for multiple streaming subscriptions to access different shows.",
null,
"Could podcasting go the direction of streaming TV, with subscription tiers and original series? The breakout success of House of Cards — the first Netflix Original — set the stage for Netflix’s dominance in streaming TV.\n\nThe annual Infinite Dial survey by Edison Research tracked that the percent of Americans over age 12 who listen to a podcast in a given month grew steadily from 9 percent in 2008 to 26 percent (or 72 million people) in 2018. Fifty-four million Americans, or 17 percent of those over 12, are weekly podcast listeners with a mean weekly listening time over 6.5 hours.\n\nThe popularity of podcasts still exists primarily within a demographic niche, however. Roughly half of podcast listeners make $75,000 or more in annual income and a clear majority have a college degree (in fact, one-third have a master’s degree). This highlights how much potential for audience growth there still is. Podcasts are still mainly formatted like NPR radio shows, with hosts discussing politics, business or society and a particular audience demographic tuning in as a result.\n\nBut podcasting is just a content medium and should be filled with shows that appeal to all different types of people, just like music, TV, film, publishing sites and YouTube each have a vast range of content for everyone. Tom Webster, the SVP of Edison Research who co-authors that big annual survey on podcasting, highlighted in a recent blog post the discrepancy between the format and topics of the most popular podcasts and those of the most popular TV shows.\n\nAddressing this gap in diverse show types is the thesis behind large new podcast production companies like Gimlet Media, Wondery and Endeavor Audio. Endeavor Audio launched on September 13 as the podcast division of entertainment conglomerate Endeavor, dedicated to financing, developing and marketing podcasts made for as diverse a set of topics and styles as there are in TV: scripted dramas, competition shows, documentaries, etc. that appeal to different audiences. Endeavor also owns WME, the world’s largest talent agency, giving it distinct advantage in creating new shows that draw on the skills of top creative talent in Hollywood. The upcoming wave of podcasts crafted to be more like TV shows than radio shows is what could bring tens of millions new listeners into the podcast market.",
null,
"That will only be accelerated through music streaming services’ entry into the market and the rapid consumer adoption of smart speakers. Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio and others have made podcasts a priority over the last year, promoting shows to millions of users who aren’t already into podcasting. Smart speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home make it easier for people who hear about a podcast to try it (just ask Alexa to play it) and will likely increase podcast listening among those in age groups that have lower smartphone penetration (children and people over 55).\n\nLast year the U.S. market size for podcast ad revenue was only $314 million and this year it will still be around $400 million (according to the IAB). That’s extraordinary annual growth for an industry, but it’s still tiny in absolute value. Justine and Olivia Moore at VC firm CRV crunched the numbers to show that podcasting makes 10x less money per hours consumed than any other major content medium. There’s a lack of monetization on the vast majority of podcasts: The minimum number of downloads per podcast needed to enroll in the industry’s ad marketplaces or start discussions with most advertisers is 50,000. As they noted, this is attributable to a range of issues like lack of programmatic advertising, lack of analytics and lack of consistent measurement standards.\n\nLife is admittedly getting good for the most downloaded shows now that the podcasting market is getting serious attention. One executive I discussed this with (who represents several top podcast creators) says there are a handful of podcasts generating eight-figures in ad revenue per year, a rapidly growing tier making seven-figures and a large “middle-class” making six-figures. That’s before income from touring, merchandise and book/film/TV deals. The going rate for ad spots is anywhere from $20-50+ CPMs and podcast ads tend to have a higher conversion rate than video ads.",
null,
"But near-term financial gains are not the primary reason that big names in Hollywood are getting interested in producing podcasts, according to Endeavor Audio general manager Moses Soyoola. When we spoke recently, he explained that while the income can reach into the seven figures on successful shows, that’s still less than what they can make in other creative projects. They see podcasting as a brand-building mechanism, however, and as an opportunity to understand a new storytelling format that could become even more lucrative in the future.\n\nAs with all ad-dependent content, the losers right now are those with passionate niche audiences and those producing big-budget shows that advertisers treat the same even if audiences find much deeper value. A creator with a devoted fan base of 30,000 listeners cannot currently tap into advertising nor easily turn to subscriptions as an alternative. Listening to an hour’s worth of news discussion that the hosts record over a couple hours day-of generates roughly the same ad revenue as listening to an hour installment of a show that takes months to produce.\n\nWith the growing number of narrative podcasts being created by Endeavor Audio and others, the need to include numerous ad spots throughout them is disruptive, pulling audiences out of the story. It constrains the format and limits content within the boundaries of family friendliness that major advertisers are comfortable with. This is like the historic difference between network TV shows and HBO shows, which — freed from ad breaks and advertiser concerns — became the crown jewel of TV dramas and went on to consistently top the Emmy Awards winner list.\n\nWould people pay for podcasts?\n\nChina is the inverse of the Western podcast market. The Chinese “podcast” market dwarfs that of the U.S. because it is the norm to have paid subscriptions for shows rather than rely on advertising. To my understanding, the definition of podcast here may be broader than the scope in the U.S. — by including audio courses — but the Chinese government estimated the market for paid podcasts alone as $7.3 billion in 2017.",
null,
"We know consumers in the West are willing to pay subscriptions for film/TV and for ad-free streaming music, so why not for podcast streaming? New content formats often start free, have lagging monetization, then as the audience grows enough and creators experiment enough, premium content rises up that people are willing to pay for. Podcasts have been around for two decades, but are just now going mainstream and seeing serious investment from Hollywood.\n\nWe saw with music streaming and satellite radio that many consumers are willing to pay in order to eliminate audio ads from music that’s otherwise free to listen to. Spotify has made a big push into podcasts over the last few months; it creates branded podcasts in collaboration with advertisers but can’t remove ads that are within podcasts it distributes. As podcasts turn to programmatic advertising — and large streaming services like Spotify push them there in order to serve up the ads — it would be surprising if Spotify didn’t make podcasts ad-free for its Premium tier subscribers and encourage podcast listeners to go Premium.\n\nMost podcasts aren’t worth paying for, just like most articles on the internet aren’t worth paying for. Paywalled content has to be exceptional to stand out from the noise and get consumers to open their wallets. The freemium model is most likely to become the norm in podcasting, with most podcasts available free and ad-supported but some particularly high-quality shows restricted to a paid subscription tier that’s ad-free.\n\nIf we’re being honest, the existing podcast streaming services — and there are many — are all the same. They are simple utilities for searching for and playing a show. No one has cracked the nut of discoverability in a differentiated way: making podcasts easy to discover based on topic and style and having a personalized recommendation tool that works as well as Pandora and Spotify music recommendations do."

"\"For someone like me who is not exceptionally talented, I had to build my game from ground up\"\n\nBoth in IPL and in domestic cricket, Harshal has made a name for himself by bowling slower balls, which were in action on Friday\n\nHarshal Patel has toiled hard in domestic cricket for over a decade now to finally have his moment in glory. A terrific Indian Premier League season for Royal Challengers Bangalore, where he picked 32 wickets to emerge as the highest-wicket-taker, helped his accent to the Indian team for the New Zealand series. Making it further memorable, he won the Man of the Match award after picking two wickets in the crucial middle over period and pushed the Kiwis to slow down on the scoring rate.\n\nHarshal was definitely ecstatic after the show but added that he was never an exceptionally talented player, hence working hard was the only way to be where he is right now.\n\n\"I couldn't have asked for a better debut. The progress is gradual and slow. For someone like me who is not exceptionally talented, I had to build my game from ground up. I made mistakes and then found things that I can and cannot do well. It has been a great journey and has taught me many lessons which will hold me in good stead even after cricket,\" Harshal said in the post-match presentation.\n\n\"The match did run through. When you are in the process you just get engrossed. It will sink in and it has been a great game,\" he added.\n\nBoth in IPL and in domestic cricket, Harshal has made a name for himself by bowling slower balls, which were in action on Friday as he dismissed Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips to give India the advantage. Harshal stated that he can't bowl yorkers and loopy slower ones once the dew took over, thus he had to be intelligent to be successful.\n\n\"I feel you don't need too many variations. You just need to know what works for you and need to package it well. I couldn't bowl those yorkers and loopy slower ones in these conditions. The yorker is a delivery I would like to use and get better at. I have seen myself fall into shiny things so many times. It (international cricket) is another platform for me to come, perform and show my skills. Just want to do that and enjoy whatever comes my way,\" he added.",

"A grim and gloomy place. That was my first impression of Wattisham Airbase. Granted, the weather didn’t help – it was hammering down with rain under a lid of black cloud cover on a Thursday evening in July. Just another day in our great British Summer!\n\nFortunately for our Capel Ladies party there was a warm and friendly welcome awaiting us from Mick and Jo Bown, the smiling couple who were our guides for the evening! We began our visit by looking round the museum…situated in the Nissen hut that had once been used as the church for the airbase. Apparently it has its own ghosts which move objects around, make noises and take items off the walls!",
null,
"Wattisham Airbase was first opened in April 1939 and has been in continuous use ever since, occupied in turn by the RAF, the USAF, the RAF, now the British Army Air Corps and also again by the RAF for its Search and Rescue Helicopters. Working clockwise round the museum we followed the history of the base up to today, and there were exhibits from every era. As well as uniforms and memorabilia, there was a touching account by an American ex-serviceman about his memories of serving on the base during World War II. He mentioned cycling to Ipswich to go to the Co-Op Dance Hall, visiting pubs and getting to know the local people. Having been brought up on a farm in the States he had even found time to compare notes on farming methods with a nearby farmer. He certainly seemed to remember the area with affection.\n\nAfter looking round the museum we dashed out to the cars with our umbrellas and following our guides we drove for over 2 miles across to the other side of the airfield to visit one of the huge hangars. From the outside it looked like an enormous wooden-framed tortoise, and when our guides pressed a switch in an adjoining outhouse the giant door slid slowly open. The inside was lit up to reveal 2 or 3 fuselages of aircraft that were in the process of being restored by enthusiasts. One was a near-complete Phantom jet, one of the planes which used to operate from the base, while another was a Hawker Hunter, like the ones which formed part of the RAF display ream The Black Arrows, fore-runners of today’s Red Arrows. The Hawker Hunter was the longest-serving British jet fighter, a very manoeverable plane which was very suited to its later role as a flying display aircraft.\n\nOn our return to the museum we had a last look round, including a poignant visit to the small side-room used as a chapel of remembrance for all those killed on the base or in action. It was a sombre reminder of the original purpose of the airfield – to protect our nation as a first line of defence in the air. May it never have to serve that purpose again.",

"Watching your weight can be a healthy activity but watching it with an obsessive intensity -- not so much.\nHemera/Thinkstock\n\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 68 percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Yet in a survey conducted by Consumer Reports, only 11 percent of those polled believed they fell into either category [source: Rowan].\n\nSo it's clear that the majority of Americans need a bit of a wake-up call when it comes to body image. Yet the messages that reach people regarding weight can often cause more harm than good. Consider this:\n\nClearly, for thousands of people each year, dieting is not just a way to stay in shape; instead, it becomes an unhealthy obsession. The ironic result is that an activity that should be beneficial -- keeping fit and trim -- often winds up causing serious stress to both the mind and body.\n\nHere, we examine five warning signs that a focus on one's weight has tipped the scales from healthy examination to dangerous fixation.",
null,
"Watching your daily intake of calories is a healthy idea. Obsessively counting each and every calorie that passes through your lips, being constantly hungry because you are not taking in enough food or setting severe eating rules for yourself can all indicate that a healthy behavior has become an unhealthy obsession.\n\nThe amount of calories you should take in on a daily basis depends on your age, gender and level of activity, although as a general rule, the average man should consume about 2,500 per day, and the average woman should take in 2,000 per day [source: NIH]. To figure out exactly how many calories you need to maintain your weight, or lose weight in a healthy way, you can try using the American Heart Association's fat and calorie counter. Taking in fewer calories than you see recommended there can indicate that you've taking things too far in your quest to lose weight.\n\nAnother facet of this type of obsession is placing yourself on a severe diet, such as one in which you eat only a single type of food (like pastes or gels), replacing full meals with a glass of water, or chewing gum in lieu of getting yourself a nutritious plate of food.",
null,
"Checking the scale more than once a day could be a sign that you're too fixated on your weight.\nPhoto courtesy of Publications International, Ltd.\n\nThe scale. It can be a powerful ally in the quest to maintain a healthy body -- or it can be an unhealthy enabler that feeds into an obsession about your weight.\n\nCheck it at the same time of day once a week and it can help you gauge how different levels of activity and calorie consumption affect your body weight. Check it more than once a day and it could be a sign that you're too fixated on your weight. Not only is compulsive weighing bad because of the stress it'll add to your day, it's also important to realize that body weight naturally fluctuates throughout the day, so multiple weigh-ins don't really tell you much about true weight loss or gain.\n\nAnother sign that you're \"scale obsessed\" is that the little number you see in its window feels more like a judgment than a piece of information -- and that number can impact how you feel about yourself throughout the day.\n\nIn combating the siren song of the scale, it's important to remember that it is just one tool that helps you determine how healthy you are. The way your clothes fit, the amount of energy you have and the quality of the foods you put in your mouth all play an equally important role in determining your overall condition.\n\n2: Having a Warped Image of Your Body",
null,
"At its most severe, a weight obsession can turn into an eating disorder.\nWavebreak Media/Thinkstock\n\nAt its most severe, a weight obsession can turn into an eating disorder, which the National Institutes of Health define as \"an illness that causes serious disturbances to your everyday diet, such as eating extremely small amounts of food or severely overeating ... Severe distress or concern about body weight or shape may also characterize an eating disorder.\"\n\nThere are three primary types of eating disorders:\n\nAnorexia nervosa is characterized by an irrational fear of gaining weight, an extremely restricted caloric intake that leads to emaciation, a distorted body image and lack of menstruation in females.\n\nUnlike anorexics, those who have bulimia nervosa will, in fact, eat large quantities of food. But these binging sessions are followed by a sense of guilt and subsequent extreme behaviors such as purging through the use of forced vomiting or laxatives and/or diuretics; excessive exercise; fasting; or any combination of these methods.\n\nWhile most eating disorders result in unhealthily low body weights, with binge-eating disorder, the opposite may occur. That's because binge eaters lose control over the quantities they consume, but don't follow these sessions with purging, severe calorie restriction or excessive exercising. It's the most common of the eating disorders and because foods often associated with binge eating are high in fat and low in protein, complications like obesity, Type 2 diabetes, high blood cholesterol, high cholesterol, gall bladder disease and heart disease are often common.\n\nTreatments for eating disorders include psychotherapy, nutrition education, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, and in the most severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary.",

"\"Only you could come back from Tibet with BOOKS.\"\n\nI dispute the above statement.",
null,
"There are plenty of people within my pocket of society who would do exactly the same. Yeah, I'm looking at you. And you. And you especially.\n\nAlas, none of these books were bought in Tibet. The only books I met in Tibet were scriptures sold in the Sera Monastery just outside of Lhasa, and while I was tempted, the Tibetan spoken language tends to flummox me, and the alphabet is far beyond my comprehension.\n\nBesides, the last place to buy books about Tibet is in Tibet. Thank you, CCP.\n\nFrom China, I present the Little Red Book (which is not a quality print job, I think it has been made from toilet paper), and The Qin Dynasty Terra-Cotta Army of DREAMS.\n\nThis second book is signed by Mr Yan. The Mr Yan. A skim around google will teach you that Emperor Qin's tomb was first discovered \"by local farmers drilling a water well\".\n\nMr Yan is that farmer.\n\nHe's not a farmer anymore. The discovery made him a millionaire, and now he spends every day sitting in the museum shop, smoking and signing books. That is all he does. He wins the prize for being the most dour, sour, grumpy and glowering old man I met on my journey. He needs to quit smoking too.\n\nThe rest came from Kathmandu, Nepal, a city that is apparently Mecca for all manner of books concerning Tibet. Baggage space limited what I came away with, but regardless, that's a pile of pure treasure.\n\nReturn to Tibet is Heinrich Harrer's account of his return to his second home after Chinese occupation. Seven Years In Tibet, his account of how he came to live in the holy city of Lhasa in the first place, is an exceptionally wonderful read.\n\nThe Tibetan-English Dictionary I snatched up as soon as I saw it. If perhaps I'd taken a moment to think about it, I would have left it and spent more time hunting for an English-Tibetan dictionary, heh.\n\nནང-མཆད nan-mchod 1. mystical religious service; also offerings made to deities in such a service, the most important offering being sanctified beer poured from a human-skull-cup into the cups of devotees who drink it as something efficacious against evil. 2. a sort of potion consisting of the ten impurities, viz., five kinds of flesh (including human flesh), excrement, urine, blood, marrow and (more Tibetan characters I can't make out) (semen) all mixed together, trans-substantiated by charms into (Tibetan characters) bdud-rtsi the potion of immortality, a small quantity of which is tasted by the devotees with the lama at their head. This drink is considered of great importance by the mystics who seek to obtain gifts of witchcraft; hence every offering is sprinkled with this potion.\n\nI couldn't find the right accent for a couple of those Tibetan characters, nor figure any accents for the romanised terms. At any rate, there's a sample of the gems you get when you randomly open a dictionary. First printed 1902, and this is a reprint, not a new edition. It shows.\n\nThese two books I bought from a book shop by the Boudhanath, the heart of Little Tibet in Kathmandu. A couple of monks were going through every single magnet the shopkeeper had when I wandered up to the counter. There were a lot of magnets, but I don't think they were pressed for time.\n\nWhen at last I found myself roaming Kathmandu alone, my companions having departed for the airport one by one, I was almost immediately sucked into yet another bookshop; Vajra Books in Thamel. Spent a good hour in there, just looking. It's funny how you can find home in strange lands.\n\nAfter much agonising, I came away with;\n\nThey're reprints of journals, accounts and diaries of Europeans who explored Tibet, back when the land was sealed not just by mountains but its own choice. Bower and Wellby I chose after flipping through the pages, but Hedin I was very excited to see. He was a very interesting personality, and more than a touch blinded by his own ambition. Unfortunately, they didn't have his accounts specifically detailing his forays into Tibet, so these are something of a consolation prize.\n\nFortunately, the publisher Asian Educational Services has those books in stock and available online. Maybe that should be \"unfortunately\". They're exceptionally beautiful editions, all of these books, as well as all the other books I left behind in Kathmandu. There's an absolute dragon's hoard of explorer logs available there. Very dangerous site. Click at your own risk.\n\n(ETA: Oh dude. A book on Tibet by Younghusband. I'm tempted, yet pretty sure I'd find that nothing but an entirely aggravating read.)\n\nMy To Be Read Bookshelf is fucking awesome.\nPosted by Tessa at 4:06 am"

"Wish I'd Written by Susane Colasanti\n\nThe Prince of Venice Beach by Blake Nelson\n\nHow much do I love Blake Nelson? So much that I freak out like the obsessed fangirl I am every time I hear he has a new book coming out. This time was no different. As soon as I heard The Prince of Venice Beach was going to drop on June 3, there was no way I was waiting that long to read it. I had to score an ARC. Which Blake Nelson sent me himself. Like I said. Freaking. Out.\n\nThis story of Cali, a runaway living on the streets of Venice Beach, is made of awesome. Cali wants to be a private investigator after he is approached by authorities to find a missing person. He goes from a boy who spends most of his time skateboarding and chilling with his friends to someone who’s motivated to turn his life around. I love inspiring stories like Cali’s that make you want to go out and accomplish every single one of your goals that same day. As always, I love the warm fuzzy feeling I get every time I read a Blake Nelson novel. And so will you.\n\n\nThe Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith\n\nJennifer E. Smith represents the absolute best in YA writing. Her writing resonates with your soul in a way that wakes you up and gives you hope. The Geography of You and Me is a poignant love story you will carry in your heart long after the last sentence is read. It’s one of those books I wish I’d written myself because the idea is just too good.\n\nLucy and Owen meet when they get stuck together in an elevator during a New York City blackout. They have one of those instant, magical connections that creates an immediate bond between them. Even while they are separated by geography, their connection is stronger than ever. Required reading for every romantic out there.\n\n\nWe Were Liars by E. Lockhart\n\nBe prepared. We Were Liars delivers a hardcore twist you will not see coming. I needed a forklift to scrape my chin off the floor. E. Lockhart masterfully weaves a story of deception, betrayal, and passion that will dazzle you. Her poetic, beautiful writing comes alive on every page. Breathtaking, yo.",

"A few years ago I created a free tool to look up the cost of an award ticket between any two cities and compare the price on multiple award charts. I call it the Award Maximizer since the goal is the maximize the value of your award miles.\n\nMany airlines offer competing service on the same route, so if you can reach your destination and redeem fewer miles, that’s good. But some newbies to the travel hacking game may not realize that sometimes the exact same flight, operated by the same carrier at the same times, can also be priced differently. If United Airlines is offering service from Denver to Atlanta, for example, you could book it using miles from United MileagePlus but also with miles from its partners like Singapore KrisFlyer and Air Canada’s Aeroplan.\n\nThose partners may charge fewer miles, or they may have lower fees and more generous policies. The Award Maximizer is primarily about comparing award charts so you don’t have to visit a dozen different airline websites, but I’ve also included some links to information about how to find and book these awards. Heck, even Alaska Airlines charges a different price depending on which partner you fly with.",
null,
"Keep in mind I don’t share any information about whether the award is actually available. I’m only trying to track what the price would be if the award is available. I recommend using Award Nexus to search for award space if you are inexperienced or just want something fast that can look in multiple places at once.\n\nOver the last year or so the tool became very out of date. I knew there were some changes required, and I made updates a few months ago to ANA, Singapore, and others. But more recently I noticed glaring omissions with Alaska Airlines. Asia Miles (Cathay Pacific) switched up their distance based program. JAL and a few others had more modest changes. All of these updates should now be incorporated. If you find errors, please send an email to scott@travelcodex.com so I can fix them."

"It is in their DNA? BLACKPINK has been no.1 in everything ever since their debut. Not only did the group sweep the realtime online charts upon debut but also became no.1 on music shows and brand power, and it’s only been one month since they debuted.",
null,
"On September 8, BLACKPINK’s “WHISTLE” became no.1 on Mnet’s M Countdown. This is especially meaningful since they never appeared on the show.\n\nIt’s BLACKPINK’s second no.1 trophy following the one they won on SBS’s Inkigayo on August 21. BLACKPINK will be rounding off their promotions for their debut album “SQAUARE ONE” with their appearance on Inkigayo this week. If BLACKPINK become no.1 on Inkigayo again this week, the group will be winning Inkigayo trophies for two weeks in a row. BLACKPINK is highly likely to win this week too as their online charts results are good.\n\nThe fact that BLACKPINK became no.1 on music shows with their debut song proves that the group has staying power. Already, the group has taken the online charts by storm with the title tracks of their debut album, “WHISTLE” and “BOOMBAYAH”. In particular, “WHISTLE” maintained the no.1 spot for almost a month, which is rare for a rookie’s song. BLACKPINK became no.1 on a music show in the shortest time among girl groups.",
