"Along with Katherine MacKinnon, Agustin Fuentes is giving the Primate Social Cognition, Human Evolution, and Niche Construction paper at our Encultured Brain session. Here’s the abstract:\n\nIn humans enhanced cognitive capabilities, extra-somatic manipulations of the environment, and enhanced communicative abilities have enabled our genus to successfully exploit myriad social and structural environments across space and time. Additionally, our extended period of infant development (cognitive, motor, social) necessitated increasing support from group members throughout our evolutionary history. The interactions between our central nervous system and our social and physical environments have demanded increased complexity and connectivity in our social networks, relative to other primates species, in which information about the habitat, food, predator detection, and infant care are disseminated. Here we discuss how the intersections of environment, culture and biology have deep tangled roots in our lineage and how comparative phylogenic and behavioral data from other primates can illuminate the complex interweaving of the social outcomes of our cognitive abilities. Examples from our phylogenic history, as well as from the living nonhuman primates effectively expand on reductionist explanations of variable patterns of social and cognitive complexity.\n\nBased on his work with macaques, human evolution, and primate-human interactions, Agustin has increasingly advocated for an integrative approach to understand human behavior and cognition. He has a new book out, The Evolution of Human Behavior. The Amazon blurb goes like this:\n\nThis unique volume reviews a wide array of approaches–including human behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology, memetics, and gene-culture co-evolution–on how and why humans evolved behaviorally… Fuentes incorporates recent innovations in evolutionary theory with emerging perspectives from genomic approaches, the current fossil record, and ethnographic studies. He examines basic assumptions about why humans behave as they do, the facts of human evolution, patterns of evolutionary change in a global environmental-temporal context, and the interconnected roles of cooperation and conflict in human history. The net result is a text that moves toward a more holistic understanding of the patterns of human evolution and a more integrated perspective on the evolution of human behavior.\n\nWith co-authors James Loudon and Michaela Howells, Agustin wrote the article The Importance of Integrative Anthropology (pdf) where they examined interactions between humans and macaques in Bali using both ethnographic and primatological methods. The result? Better methods bring better understanding.\n\nIn his 2004 American Anthropologist article It’s Not All Sex and Violence: Integrated Anthropology and the Role of Cooperation and Social Complexity in Human Evolution, Fuentes issues a direct challenge to the Hobbesian view of our “primitive” past – Leviathan’s “life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”\n\nAgustin advocates niche construction as a way to bring evolutionary thought to bear on arguments about brain-environment interactions, the impact of social relations, and the understanding of embodiment and our extended minds. John Odling-Smee and Kevin Leland have a 2003 book Niche Construction: The Neglected Process in Evolution as well as a 2001 Behavioral and Brain Sciences article Niche Construction, Biological Evolution and Cultural Change. This 2007 article by Laland and colleagues The Niche Construction Perspective: Implications for Evolution and Human Behaviour (pdf) gives us the latest update. Here’s the abstract:\n\nIf you want to know more about the work of Agustin, you can contact him at afuentes at nd.edu"

"“Treated very unfairly” is an incessant Trump trope. Like he’s a great stickler for fairness.\n\nThen it was Paul Manafort — also fired by Trump, as campaign manager. Later convicted by a jury for illegally concealing his work for foreign dictators, and failing to report the income to the IRS. But somehow he was “treated very unfairly,” said Trump.",
null,
"Others he’s said were “treated very unfairly” include right-wing propagandist Dinesh D’Souza, who he pardoned after pleading guilty for a campaign finance felony; Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh; Veterans Affairs nominee Ronny Jackson; National Intelligence Director nominee John Ratcliffe; Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy, facing recall; and various others including, of course, Trump himself, unremittingly whining of “very unfair treatment” in innumerable instances. He said he’s changing his residence to Florida from New York because he was treated unfairly there. He’s even said the writers of the U.S. Constitution treated him very unfairly; even that Fox News has treated him very unfairly!\n\nOf course he never says why, exactly, something was unfair. It never works that way with him. It’s enough to just say “unfair.” One of his many forms of lying.",
null,
"War is hell, and bad stuff happens. But America has long insisted on the highest standards of conduct by our military. Trump’s actions shred that honorable tradition, sending totally the wrong message. That’s why they horrified our military; higher-ups said this would undermine maintaining good order and discipline, calling this a crisis in military governance.\n\nThey pushed back, scheduling a review board to consider Gallagher’s expulsion as a SEAL. Trump tweeted he wouldn’t permit that, and Gallagher is being allowed to retire as a SEAL with no demotion. But meantime, Navy Secretary Richard Spencer, who opposed Trump’s action but tried to work something out with the White House, has been fired. His resignation letter said he’d been given an order he could not in good conscience carry out.\n\nAnd how about Trump himself, his endless business history of screwing people? All those left holding the bag in his bankruptcies? Victims of his “Trump University” fraud? All the contractors and workers he just stiffed? Were they not “treated very unfairly?”",
null,
"And how about our former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch — our longest serving envoy with a sterling record of exemplary service — smeared by Trump as prelude to abruptly yanking her from her post. To serve his corrupt political scheme. And then, right amid Yovanovitch’s congressional testimony, Trump tweets idiotic juvenile insults. “She started off in Somalia, how did that go?” She was a junior foreign service officer there, as if that made her responsible for Somalia’s mess. She went into a very tough, dangerous situation, serving her country, and that’s the thanks she gets from the President of the United States.\n\nNormal human beings have some basic sense of what fairness means. Trump does not, and uses the word with perverted cynicism. Those he calls “treated very unfairly” are typically scumbags, like Flynn, Arpaio, Manafort, D’Souza, actually getting what they deserve. While upstanding people like Spencer and Yovanovitch are in fact treated very unfairly, by Trump.",

"One more way in which Trump’s is a bizarro world, where black is white and white is black; wrong is right and right is wrong."

"<![CDATA[<a href=\"http://kiwimag.wpengine.com/kiwi/2011/08/how-healthy-is-milk/milk/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1559\"]]>As a lactose-intolerant child my mom brought juice to school for me to drink at snack time when all the other kindergarteners were drinking milk. I was the odd one out and hated it, but maybe my mom was really on to something. We all grow up hearing about how drinking milk gives us strong bones, but is it really as healthy as many experts claim? “Got the Facts on Milk?” is an upcoming documentary made by Shira Lane that examines Americans’ beliefs about milk and the truth about milk’s healthfulness. Her own dairy allergy prompted her to examine any and all scientific research on the subject and after being startled by the lack on consensus she takes off on a road trip to uncover the truth. This clever, educational, and entertaining documentary follows Lane and her crew across the country as they interview ordinary people, dairy farmers, doctors, scientists, researchers, and school children to uncover the truth about milk. Their goal was to reach Washington D.C. and pose their questions about the health benefits of milk to anyone in the USDA who had the knowledge. Lane was curious about what information she would get from the government body that makes our country’s dietary guidelines.</p>\n\nWhile viewing this documentary it became clear that Americans primarily believe that milk is good for you and the calcium in it helps build strong bones, but for the most part have never heard any scientific reasoning behind the claim. This belief is passed down through generations of Americans–and comes from the long history of advertisements that the dairy industry has presented about the benefits of milk since World War I, when dairies found themselves with an excess that needed to be sold. But are these benefits validated? Or are we being presented with false information about the health benefits of milk? The truth that this documentary uncovers is startling. Between 1988 and 1993 over 2,700 articles about milk were added into medical archives, but not a single one referred to milk as an excellent food. Instead, they focused on the medical problems related to milk, including intestinal bleeding, asthma, childhood diabetes, heart disease, anemia, arthritis, allergic reactions, cancer, and even Bovine Leukemia (an AIDS-like virus that affects cows). A surprisingly high number of people across the globe are lactose intolerant, meaning they are unable to digest milk sugar. Many experts believe that these high rates are most likely because our bodies are not made to digest lactose. 75 percent of the world’s population is lactose intolerant, since most humans lose the enzyme used to digest lactose after the age of two. The dairy consumption being pushed in the U.S. has created a genetic mutation where the enzyme used to digest milk is kept for an individual’s entire life span. It only takes having a few generations of milk drinking Americas in your family for this mutation to take place. It can now be seen in 85 percent of Caucasian Americans – explains why I felt like the odd one out as a kid! If the human body isn’t made to digest milk after the age of two, how could it be good for us? The most common and widely accepted beneficial attributed to milk is it’s rich in calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. However, in the documentary, nutritional scientist Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D. and nutritional biochemist T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. both agree that milk isn’t actually a good source of calcium. It does contain some calcium, but some vegetables like collard greens and spinach can contain just as much of the nutrient and have higher absorption rates (without the fat and cholesterol that comes in milk). One study found that countries with higher milk and calcium consumption actually had a higher rate of hip fractures. This is believed to be because the calcium found in milk has a 32 percent absorption rate whereas the calcium found in some vegetables can have over a 50 percent absorption rate. Not only do many scientists believe that the staple benefit of milk has been disproved, but the high amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol found in milk have been found to have negative health effects. Every day children under the age of 10 need about 1,000 mg of calcium, teenagers need about 1,300 mg, and adults need around 1,000 mg. There are many healthy non-dairy ways to get the calcium you need: One half cup serving of tofu can give you 253 mg of calcium. You can get 178 mg of calcium in one half cup serving of collard greens and 146 mg of calcium from just a half cup serving of spinach. Although I wouldn’t recommend cutting milk completely out of your diet (a big glass is often needed with cookies) it’s important to know some of the myths about the benefits of milk and choose what you eat wisely. So next time you want milk to build strong bones grab the greens instead. And for more information check out “Got the Facts on Milk?” coming out on DVD on August 30th. (dairydocumentary.com)"

"The hero of Lady Be Bad, Lord Rochdale, was introduced in the first of the Merry Widows Books, In the Thrill of the Night, as a libertine who was a close friend of the hero. He was seen again in Just One of Those Flings where his Bad Boy image was reinforced. Since I knew from the beginning that he would be the hero of the third book in the trilogy and I knew he would be paired with the most prim and proper of the Merry Widows, I tried to present him early on as something of a scoundrel through his behavior. But I also hinted at his character through his name.",
null,
"No, there is nothing about the name Rochdale that is inherently sinister. I try to use real place names for titles, and Rochdale is a real place. It’s a good-sized town up in the north, on the outskirts of Manchester. However, I didn’t choose it simply because I liked the sound of it (though I do), but because of its association with that real Regency bad boy, Lord Byron, whose full title is Baron Byron of Rochdale. Giving my hero the title Lord Rochdale was a bit of a wink-and-nod to the scandalous Regency poet.\n\nAs I understand it, though all Lord Byrons lived at Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire (which had been granted to the first Lord Byron’s father by Henry VIII when he dissolved all the monasteries), the title was granted as “Byron of Rochdale” because the family had long been associated with the area. The first Baron’s father, in fact, had held the office of Stewart of Manchester and Rochdale. I’m not sure why common usage of the title never devolved into Lord Rochdale, as one would expect, but instead remained Lord Byron, based on the family surname. However, if you look up the romantic poet in any reference book or dictionary, his full title is always given as 6th Lord Byron of Rochdale.\n\nBesides the family home at Newstead Abbey, Lord Byron inherited estates at Rochdale in Lancashire, but they were tangled up in endless litigation throughout most of his life. The long-running case involved an attempt to reclaim rights to coal mines on the property that had been illegally sold by the 5th Lord Byron, the poet’s great uncle, known as the “Wicked Lord.” Byron visited Rochdale only once in his life, when he tried to escalate settlement of the long-running law suit in hopes of making money from the coal mines. Business matters bored him, however, and despite his need for funds, he did not remain at Rochdale and never returned. The litigation was finally settled in 1823, and Byron, residing in Europe, sold the Rochdale estates.\n\nI trust I will be forgiven for usurping a title from so famous a personage, but I hoped that those readers aware of the connection might be amused.\n\n« Read an Excerpt from Lady Be Bad"

"In the fall of 2016, the Belgian-born, Mexico-based artist\nFrancis Alÿs\nspent nine days embedded with Kurdish Peshmerga forces outside Mosul, Iraq. He accompanied the soldiers along a 23-kilometer frontline, which the artist describes as “a hill moving slowly into the outskirts” of the city. Now, the works that Alÿs made as a result of this uncommon (and uncommonly dangerous) experience are the highlight of the Iraqi Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale.\nThe day I spoke to Alÿs about his time at the Battle of Mosul, the Iraqi Army announced that the ongoing offensive would be over by the start of Ramadan in late May. If their prediction bears out, it’ll mark the end of what has been dubbed “the Mother of all Battles,” the most brutal campaigns in the fight against ISIS in Iraq. Spearheaded by Iraqi forces, with the support of a U.S.-led international coalition, Mosul has been a theater of extreme violence: Human shields, mass graves, and decapitations have regularly made the headlines. Since the beginning of ISIS occupation in 2014, the population of the country’s second city has dropped from 2.5 million to as low as 600,000 two years later. The figures are hazy, and so are the politics, which involve national and tribal factions whose volatile dynamics predate the bloody rise of the self-declared Caliphate.\nCommissioned by the Ruya Foundation, the Iraqi Pavilion exhibition in Venice is articulated around the notion of the archaic. It features an extraordinary collection of ancient Middle Eastern artifacts recovered after the 2003 looting of Baghdad’s National Museum, paired with works by contemporary Iraqi artists—the ensemble gesturing towards a lineage running from the Neolithic to the digital age.\nAlÿs’s contribution comes at the end of the show, a little separated from the rest. It very much captures the reality of life on a battleground, protected from ISIS fighters by a simple mound of dirt. The pièce de résistance is a 5-minute video (Untitled, Mosul, Iraq, 31 Oct 2016). We see a tank, a military tent, and an armed vehicle slowly passing by. Soldiers mill around, waiting; a bomb detonates off-screen. In the foreground, a hand dabs small dollops of paint on a white palette, then spreads the pigments out with a brush. The beiges, ochres, and burnt oranges—echoing the colors of the dusty earth, and the soldier’s uniforms—fleetingly appear on the board’s surface, capturing something of the scene’s chromatic mood. Then the hand grabs a rag and wipes everything off. The process repeats, over and over.",

"The question of art, of its role and relevance in the context of war, announces itself. It’s easy to interpret Alÿs’s gesture as a Sisyphean attempt to create an image that would do justice to the situation, and a simultaneous acknowledgement of the inability to do so.\nBut as the artist tells it, his ambition was even more modest. His goal was simply “to match the colors of the scene,” he tells me when I meet him at Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti, which hosts the Iraqi Pavilion. “Then I erase it because all I want to do is to find a moment of coincidence between my persona, or my activity, and the scene I’m looking at.” He adds: “The question is really about the role of the artist as a witness. What can the artist say that hasn’t been said by media?”\nThis understated approach forms Alÿs’s trademark. For The Green Line (2004), the artist focused on the highly charged frontier drawn on a map by Israeli commander Moshe Dayan to demarcate the Jerusalem territory under his control at the time of the 1948 ceasefire. The artist walked its entire length, lime paint trickling from a pierced can as he meandered through neighborhoods which are now firmly in territory claimed by Israel.\nIn Afghanistan, Alÿs separately filmed a British and a Taliban soldier putting together their guns, and then taking them apart. Shown on a split screen in an unsettling game of mirrors, the video bears a title that foreshadows the artist’s work in Mosul: Sometimes Doing Is Undoing and Sometimes Undoing Is Doing (2013).\nWhile his Mosul video appears to stage his somewhat fraught relationship to image-making, the artist nonetheless did manage to produce completed paintings based on his time in Iraq: a set of small canvases whose subjects emerge, as if in negative relief, from the raw linen ground. Chalk-white silhouettes walk back from the horizon; men run clutching guns; two figures look at the bare field beyond a camp’s barbed wire fence. At times, the hazy images are so faint that they threaten to disappear. They have the fleeting quality of impressions gathered in haste, their sparse details adding up to an abstracted notion of war.",

"Advertisement\n“When I was there, I was stunned and very dependent on the way the things were moving,” Alÿs admits. “[The Peshmerga soldiers] were very politely dragging me around, but my level of initiative was minimum—and that was OK, that was our contract.” He pauses, then adds: “The only restriction is that you have to try to remember which side you are on. The rules were pretty basic: always stick to the line.”\nThat line wasn’t always straightforward, though. Alÿs’s car once got lost in a snowstorm; he found himself in enemy territory, in a field of rubble within easy range of ISIS snipers. “My instinctive reaction was to look at it through my iPhone,” he recalls. “It made it much more bearable. It was like a fictionalization of the reality of the situation I was in.”\nLikewise, canvas and video camera provided the artist with additional buffers, allowing one-step-removed engagement with a scene that might otherwise be too difficult to process.\nWhen I ask Alÿs how he dealt with his position as an army-embedded Westerner in a Middle Eastern war—a position that, given the region’s recent history, many would see as politically conflicted—the answer is unambiguous: “I didn’t feel it was an issue there,” he says. “The main issue was the language barrier. I was clearly not a journalist, nor some sort of U.S. military advisor. They were very oblivious of my presence, if anything calling me when the food was there, and when we had to move on.” Thinking it over a bit more, he does concede that his status as a Western artist-observer “might have been a filter that limited some of my access to certain places.”\nThe part the West played in Iraq’s contemporary woes is, however, firmly acknowledged in Alÿs’s Venice presentation. A map showing how Britain and France split up the Greater Syrian territories with the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement, as they anticipated the fall of the Ottoman Empire, occupies a large table between Alÿs’s video and his paintings. Hand-drawn frontiers scar the paper, with complete disregard for the tribal alliances of the nomadic people who occupied this border-less land. The map, Alÿs says, is an attempt “to relocate where part of the problem started.”\nThe notion of borders has long been central to Alÿs’s practice, who permanently relocated to Mexico and has long examined complex geographies: the divide between San Diego and Tijuana; the Gibraltar Strait; the waters separating Cuba from Florida. These concerns, he notes, now seem more urgent than ever. “I was reading that we all thought 1989 was ‘the end of the wall,’” he says. “But apparently way more walls have been built since 1989 than before. It’s not an abstract concept. Borders are more and more in our lives.” He pauses. “And I think it will get worse.”\nColine Milliard\nRelated Stories"

"Trump seems to have a new nickname for Hillary Clinton\n\nCalling his Democratic rival \"Unstable Hillary Clinton,\" Trump channeled Clinton's claim that she \"short-circuited\" in making a comment on Fox News last week that her statements on her email scandal were \"truthful.\"\n\nAt times during the Saturday rally, Trump described Clinton as a \"monster\" and suggested that she might be \"brainwashed.\"\n\n\"Unstable\" wasn't the only name Trump pinned on Clinton at the rally. At one point, he also reprised an earlier moniker, Hillary \"Rotten\" Clinton — a riff on the former secretary of state's middle name, Rodham.\n\nIn April, Trump rolled out \"Crooked Hillary,\" a name that has gotten significant exposure on social media and during the Republican National Convention last month.\n\nIn May, it was \"Heartless Hillary\" — the brash New York businessman fired off that one during a speech at the National Rifle Association.\n\nTrump has employed such catchphrases throughout this election cycle, even using them to target members of his own party, including Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Jeb Bush.\n\nSEE ALSO: Trump may be killing the Republican 'brand'\n\nNOW WATCH: The difference in GOP rhetoric from this 1980 debate is astounding",

"This Is: Nick Nittoli",

"The Multi-faceted Mind of Nick Nittoli\n\nA man of many talents, Nick Nittoli has methodically carved out a name for himself that is laser focused and entirely unique. Having releases in hip hop, country, R&B, and metal, he doggedly pursues intertwining genres as much as possible. Nittoli has worked with artists such as Snoop Dogg, Fabian Mazur, French Montana, Sam Bruno, and many more; adding to all this is the fact that he is a songwriter, producer, engineer, and artist. Thus, he is a man of many talents and hats, with a fascinating history and journey that got him to where he is today.\n\nOne of the most central aspects to Nittoli is his desire to involve a diverse range of genres. “I like to write and produce in all different genres from EDM to Pop to Hip Hop and trap, you name it and I do it,” he states. “In 2017, I signed a publishing/Record deal with Warner Chappell Music Publishing and this led to me being able to do my own artist project beginning in 2019. I also make really creative music videos where I dress up as characters from different movies and stuff like that. It’s all very consistent with music coming out all the time and overall being a multi genre project.”\n\nThe spark that got him into music played an integral role in how his journey took shape. “During the summer of 1999, when Blink 182’s Enema of the State dropped, I heard that and knew full blown that was what I wanted to do,” reveals Nittoli. “I wanted to make people laugh and I wanted to do music. I was in love with that band and literally wanted to be Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge. They super inspired me when I was about eleven or twelve, and that drove me to take my guitar playing and songwriting to the next level. If I were to go further back, my grandparents were both songwriters who wrote the song “Here’s to the Band” by Frank Sinatra; so music has always just been in my blood and been doing it for a long time.”\n\n“Engineering my own album and my own music has been my proudest achievement so far,” explains the artist. “For a while, I needed someone in the room to show me how to use Logic or Pro Tools, or how to record vocals or instruments professionally. When I took the reigns as an artist, I realized if I’m gonna have this secluded area where I don’t have too many people in my space while I’m writing, I am going to have to perform all the different duties required in the studio; that’s why I went full steam ahead with learning the mixing, mastering, and engineering because I didn’t want anyone in my creative space.”\n\nHighlighting his diversity of interests is his passion for things people would never expect. “I am actually a huge conspiracy buff, like I watch all the alien uncovered stories that you can find online,” divulges Nittoli. “I also research government cover ups, and I am super into UFOS and I think people wouldn’t really know this about me.”\n\nHowever, some of the challenges he has faced have come from surprising places. “The most challenging stuff isn’t really in the studio, it’s outside the studio and dealing with label heads, A&R, management teams and stuff like that,” he expounds. “After the work is done, dealing with the contracts and all the weird verbatim. It’s also peoples ego’s – sometimes I’ll make a great album with someone and think we made magic, and probably have, but after that they are a completely different person and that kind of colliding with egos has been very challenging.”\n\n“For me, I came from nothing,” Nittoli elaborates on his exposure to the business side of music. “My parents didn’t have much money and at one point, I was homeless on the streets with just my guitar. This is before I got on Bravo and started singing to America. I didn’t know anything about the business, and didn’t even have a laptop, so learning the business was a big portion of my career. I had to learn what was going on here and how to conduct myself professionally; that was a big part of my journey. I was just a punk rock kid with a guitar for a long time and if you look at where I am now, it’s been a long journey.”\n\nMaking art in so many different genres seems like a daunting task, but for Nittoli it’s only been a blessing. “It only helps,” he illustrates. “If I’m in the studio and I’m working on writing a song and I get writer’s block or am stumped on anything, I can move over to the production side. If I’m having trouble with bass and drums, I’ll move over to the mixing side and start mixing the album; if I get stumped there then I’ll move to the mastering side. Because I wear so many hats, it’s never boring for me and is even more fun. When it comes to writing in multiple genres, it has really helped me and my artist project since it is something heavily involved in different genres. It’s like I bulked up in the musical studio and I’m now able to lift.”\n\nWhere he found his success and built the community that has enabled him to reach the heights he has, is both surprising and insightful. “I’ll be perfectly blunt with you – I lived in my email, that’s where I found the majority of my success,” conveys Nittoli. “I would be a consistent musical telemarketer and constantly hitting up everyone from artists to A&R people to label heads; if I found someone who didn’t have much of a following but knew someone who did, I would get to know that artists first so I could meet the other artists at a show or venue. I really started at the bottom and was very consistent and avidly messaging people all day long. I only had the Bravos TV platinum hit, which was really cool, and those were released on RCA records. So I had this one piece of professionalism and I used that to get Snoop Dogg, and once I had worked with him I used that connection to get French Montana, and so on and so on. And so for me it was these steps and blocks I used; and my advice is to live in your email and present yourself very professionally, and you have to believe in yourself at the end of the day.”\n\nElaborating further: “I messaged so many people in the industry. And I didn’t shoot for the stars necessarily either. I didn’t send a message to Drake and get turned down and say, “Oh well, I’m done.” I’d message people who were engineering for Drake, or producing for French Montana, or sometimes there are artists who just play live guitar for another artist….so I built myself from the ground floor and up in that way. I had talent, so all I was looking for was an opportunity to showcase it. The moment I came into the studio with the guitar playing skills or writing skills or vocal skills I possess, I knew they would see that and that would eventually elevate me to the next level. This is why believing in yourself is so key, because then you will work that hard to get yourself showcased.”\n\nThe future is bright for Nick Nittoli, armed with a plethora of talent and the resourceful nature he has become well known for. “I shoot my own music videos, my fiancé actually helps me with the actual physical shooting of them,” he discloses. “I edit them, do all the FX, and promote them on YouTube so that’s a huge part of my business right now. I just shot four music videos back to back so have been in the process of editing those and those will be coming out this month and next month. I am also releasing an album of about twenty songs at the end of the month with all different genres: some if it is EDM, some of it is pop, some of it is trap, and i’m really excited for it to come out. I am also going to start doing live shows, and doing features on other people’s tracks which is something I haven’t done yet…so a lot to come from me in 2021.”"

"PhD EssayEconomicsMarketVIZIO and the Market for the Flat Panel TV\n\nThe Flat panel TVs market is a really competitive one. There are several great and well known International Brands such as Samsung, LG, Sony, Sharp and so on. TV is the necessary product of every house, office and also for the exhibition. It’s a large market and keeping growing, that’s why so many companies want to be the leader brand of this industry. Here I provide one graphic as below to show that Vizio is the Top one brand in North America and Samsung is the second place but the gap between those two brands is not very big. Besides USA, Samsung, LG & Sony win more market share in other area such as Europe and Asia so there’s still a challenge waiting for VIZIO.\n\nVIZIO is a really successful brand in USA but they need to keep their price advantage and well know what customers need. Samsung is a really threatening competitor, try to win more market share from them, make the gap bigger. Try to explore to the Asia market. I think the target for VIZIO in 2013 2014 is that they need to gain more reputation and customers in China. Make a strategy to win their attention, understand their culture and try to find the consumer formula, do the research for the better sales mode such as selling place, product position…etc.Vizio is founded by a Taiwanese and its headquarter is just in Irvine. Those points are very attractive to me because I can find some similar things. Furthermore, I worked for an electronic components company before, the\ncompany provides the components to VIZIO’s factory. Also, I was an sales and my customers was two very famous Korea top TV brands. That’s why I want to do the further research to VIZIO. Work Cited",

"on VIZIO and the Market for the Flat Panel TV\n\nWhat is Vizio known for?\n\nFounded in Southern California in 2002 by Taiwanese immigrant William Wang, Vizio emerged five years later as the leader in the hotly contested U.S. flat-panel TV market by selling its devices for hundreds of dollars less than those of its rivals and securing deals with big-box retailers such as Costco and Best Buy.\n\nIs Vizio a good stock to buy?\n\nVizio, one of the top sellers of high-definition TVs in the U.S., held its New York Stock Exchange debut on Thursday as the company lures investors for its battle with Roku, Amazon and Google in the fast-growing streaming market. Shares of Vizio slumped 9% in trading, closing at $19.10 per share.\n\nWhat happened to the flat TV?\n\nModern flat screens have gotten thinner and bigger, and many of them are designed to look like pieces of art when wall-mounted. There are still some curved TVs available, but they are slowly disappearing from the markets.\n\nWhy did Vizio fail to go public?\n\nVizio pulled its IPO in 2016 after China’s LeEco offered to buy it for $2 billion. That deal fell apart the following year because of regulatory complexities, and in 2018 Vizio sold stakes to Taiwanese manufacturing partners Foxconn and Innolux. — CNBC’s Jessica Bursztynsky contributed to this report.\n\nVIZIO and the Market for the Flat Panel TV.

"Like so many others, I had pre-ordered Guerrilla Games’ new PS4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn, and I picked it up last night after work to give it a run-through. One word for you, dear readers: WOW. This thing is FUN! I barely noticed time passing, and I was awake far later than I probably should’ve been. Getting up for work this morning was a struggle, but I regret nothing.\n\nThose of you who follow our adventures here at PCU know that several of us have been pretty hyped for this title. Since its announcement at E3 2015, PlayStation gamers, like some of us here, have been virtually frothing at the mouth about this game.\n\nSo let’s get in & talk about Aloy’s adventure.\n\nPresentation:\nOnce the game began, it was made just about perfectly clear to me that the deep story was going to be one of the best parts of this game. The tone of the story was immediately able to grab my attention and make me care about the lore of this game, as well as really want to find out what came to pass which left the world in such a state.\nGraphically, this game is beautifully crafted. The coloration, the sense of expanse (or “draw distance”, if you will), and the attention to detail that Guerilla Games put into this title is amazing. The game is optimized for play on a PS4 Pro, but I played on a standard PS4 and I was still blown away by how pretty everything is. Seriously: if/when you play this game, take a moment to stop & look at the gorgeous scenery when you’re in one of the map’s wider expanses. There’s almost a sense of Zen in not seeing a bunch of people aimlessly milling about but in looking instead at how nature has re-taken the planet, and just how HUGE this map is.\n\nGameplay:\nThose of us who have been gamers for some time will be able to note that Horizon Zero Dawn seems to borrow things from the more well-done parts of several different games.\nStarting with the movement mechanics: Aloy’s sneaky stealth movement through the tall grasses and the way she climbs up the sides of cliffs is very reminiscent of the movement animations & mechanics in the Assassins Creed franchise, while the way she strikes from cover and out in the open evokes a good bit of Lara Croft from the most recent Tomb Raider title. You can tell that Aloy is quite strong, but the constant sense of danger when moving stealthily around the larger (and pretty terrifying) enemies really heightens the tension and reminds you that she is still quite vulnerable against these mechanical beasts.",
null,
"Next, in looking at the resource gathering & crafting system, I was immediately reminded of Far Cry: Primal. While my inventory kept filling up relatively quickly, it was nice to see how smooth Guerilla Games was able to get the menus & crafting to feel. The learning curve on the crafting system isn’t very steep, and I kind of took to it right away. Inventory management, however? That’s a bit of a different story. It took a bit of feeling out before I came to realize what I could part with and what I really needed to keep.\n\nLast, but certainly not least, there’s the combat. Now, those of you who like a good challenge will appreciate how strong some of the enemies in this game can be. A word to the wise: you probably WILL get one- or two-shotted in this game a few times, but once you figure out how to locate and exploit the weaknesses of the larger enemies, the combat feels fluid & quite comfortable. Additionally, the ease with which I was able to switch weapons & craft ammunition on the fly, make quick decisions with the wheel-style weapon & gadget menu, and aim my ranged shots accurately added a good bit of appeal for me. After a bit of practice with the combat, and familiarizing myself with the skill trees (seriously: learn these), Horizon Zero Dawn really gave me the feeling of being a skilled warrior going up against what seems like pretty steep odds. A word of caution, though: if/when you play this game, DON’T. GET. COCKY. Aloy may be skilled, but if you’re not fully prepared for a battle, you WILL die…a lot.",
null,
"Final Thoughts / Pros & Cons:\nPros: First and foremost, this is a GORGEOUS game. I’m a sucker for beautiful expanses & detailed characters, so this one really hooked me. I had to remind myself to keep the story going while I was playing, as I found that I would occasionally just stop in the middle of the plains & look around in awe at everything in the world around me. From the expansive plains to the snowy forests, to the mountainous areas, it’s definitely a feast for the eyes.\nSecondly, the combat is fun & immersive, and cool terrain traversal (sliding to cover, what?) allows for multiple ways to approach a quest or enemy. This is just one of the things that keeps the title from feeling too linear, and makes it a good way to familiarize oneself with multiple different weapons & gadgets that exist in this game.\n\nCons: Like Skyrim or Fallout, there are A LOT of side quests in this game. While that in and of itself isn’t a con, I will say that these quests began to feel a bit repetitive. They also don’t seem to add much to the over-arching story or the lore of this game. However, the fact that this game has such varied landscapes & ways to approach these quests almost redeemed that for me.\nFinally, even though the voice acting in this game is quite good, I was a bit disappointed that Aloy’s personality didn’t grab me as much as I had hoped it would due to her facial movements. I mean, this is a woman who is basically a pariah in the world that she knows. Having that be the case, you would think that this would show on her face. However, the slightly stiff motion capture didn’t really convey emotion well.\n\nAll in all, this is a great game, and I highly recommend picking it up for those of you who are PlayStation users.\n\nWhat do you all think of Horizon Zero Dawn, dear readers? Let us know your thoughts on this game in the comments!"

"Dr. Bobbi opened her first practice in 2008, after finishing her residency program. Unfortunately, she was forced to move to three different locations because the rent was constantly being increased, sometimes by $1,000 a month. This experience was truly frustrating, and Dr. Bobbi worked hard so she could afford her own space.\n\n\"I believe that, in order to be successful, you have to start something on your own,\" Dr. Bobbi says. \"Yes, it is going to be challenging, but no company will pay you how much you're actually worth. You can only earn as much money as you deserve when you become independent.\"\n\nEven though Dr. Bobbi is a celebrity orthodontist, her practice strives to provide the community with the highest quality services at affordable prices. Dr. Bobbi and her team are dedicated to excellence in orthodontics and committed to providing a friendly, caring atmosphere.\n\nDr. Bobbi is also highly skilled in experimental cosmetic dentistry, making her capable of advanced diagnoses in all aspects of dentistry. Once she has completed an exam, she can formulate treatment plans for her patients.\n\nIn addition to all the hard work she does at her practice, Dr. Bobbi is constantly looking for a way to improve the lives of her patients and all those in her community. Aces Braces sponsors free orthodontic evaluations on the first Tuesday of the month, and Dr. Bobbi volunteers in community schools and teaches both the students and the staff about the importance of dental health. She also provides free screenings to middle school students.\n\nAlso, Dr. Bobbi has designed an innovative, patent-pending battery-operated toothbrush. The product is called \"Big Mouth Brush,\" and it is meant to cut tooth-brushing time in half, potentially. This makes Dr. Bobbi the very first African American to design a battery-operated toothbrush. \"I'm so excited about the release of my toothbrush,\" Dr. Bobbi says. \"It's going to be so awesome, and all those who are really into maintaining proper oral hygiene are going to love it!\"\n\nWhile waiting for the Big Mouth Brush to hit the markets, Dr. Bobbi’s patients can enjoy her tooth whitening pen with a unique formula that is incredibly effective yet doesn't damage the teeth. Dr. Bobbi also launched her beauty brand, Oral Fix Beauty, which sells must-have beauty products that every woman needs."

"With its Chippy Apples product, a Victorian food production company is promoting a balanced diet and decreasing the waste of fresh produce. The improvement of nutrition in youngsters, who are known for being “picky eaters,” is the company’s primary focus, according to Phil Gomizel, managing director of Pipan Foods, who has a history in food manufacturing. He said that children in particular “really enjoy” it. “That was a major deal for me because my previous company dealt with nutrition, and we even exported goods to Asia. As a result, when I first tried the Chippy Apples, I had no doubts that youngsters would adore them and that we could serve them as a snack in family homes. We have not seen many objections from youngsters testing it because they are much more likely to eat processed food than fresh fruit and vegetables. We are already providing through companies that give kids’ lunch boxes and are getting a terrific response. We use subpar apples, which are typically accessible all year long. We mainly work with Pink Lady apples, but we may also use local juices or grade two or three apples. A lot of apples have been wasted, especially this year.”\n\nThe idea was born after one of Phil’s close friends who was a farmer lost his property to weather and decided against entirely rebuilding it. So he started looking for other options, and through a family connection with a Taiwanese picker working in Australia, he learned about vacuum drying. They believed the technology was wonderful and invested in it after visiting the highly skilled technician in Taiwan, according to Mr. Gomizel. He called me and said, “I’ve produced this product but don’t know how to sell it. That led to a small pilot plant to be built during COVID. Therefore, we developed a brand and a strategic strategy to introduce it and increase manufacturing. Chippy Apple was initially sold just in the apple flavour. After that, we wanted to launch a couple more flavours, so we added a light cinnamon flavour.\n\nIn order to develop new apple products, we have also created a prototype flavouring machine. We are currently researching a variety of “hot sauce” apples, including wasabi, on which we are just about to complete our research and development. The company has already considered growing and entering other produce lines after introducing the apple products, such as pears, mandarin, mangoes, and bananas, but that requires continued research and development effort. We can create some delectable snacks that aren’t easily accessible on the market, but what we really need to figure out is how to balance the seasonal fruit supply chain. How do we maintain continuous manufacture of goods that only increase in demand for a few months out of the year?” he asked.\n\nWe have plans to either build another large facility or smaller facilities close to the fruit supply once we reach our maximum capacity, which is predicted to happen in the next 18 to 24 months based on our facility’s expected operating rate. One important feature of the product, according to Mr. Gomizel, is that it is 100% fruit, with no added sugar or preservatives. The apples are simply cored, cut, and dried in two stages, according to Mr. Gomizel. The initial drying process lasts for 24 hours as you would for any fruit. Then it enters our vacuum dryer, which bakes the product at a low temperature and very low pressure of about 70 degrees.\n\nWe use four compact ovens, which is a very effective method and the most energy-efficient method of all the baking methods. The apple slice is immediately placed in the packaging after having all of its moisture removed, leaving only 0.1 percent. It’s really popular. There is no oxidation or cooked apple flavour because it is crispy, crunchy, and preserves all of the apple’s natural sweetness. We are very interested in knowing more about this technology because it gives people additional choices for their fruit and vegetables. He continued by saying that the business is also focusing on the packaging, which is now recyclable through the “REDcycle Program,” but efforts are being made to develop a compostable foil. There are plans to pitch the product to the big supermarkets in the coming months after Pipan Foods recently struck a national distribution agreement that will make the product available in over 400 locations across Australia. In order to support production and research into product extension using the Birchal platform, there is now a crowdfunding page."

"Mario Martone brings Eduardo De Filippo’s play Il Sindaco del Rione Sanità to the big screen, a story the director sets in the present day, using the text as an opportunity to continue to investigate reality. The protagonist, Antonio Barracano, is a “man of honor” who distinguishes between “decent people and scoundrels.” Around him flourishes a fierce, ambiguous and pained humanity, where good and evil confront each other in every character, where the two cities of Naples (the legal and the criminal) clash in an encounter neither can win.\n\nIn collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute Los Angeles"

"Suu Kyi, 76, has been in the custody of the military junta since a coup on Feb. 1, 2021. She has since been charged with nearly two dozen criminal offenses, including corruption and using unauthorized communications devices. The charges could keep her in prison for the rest of her life.\n\n“By the law, it’s confirmed that [Suu Kyi] has been moved to the prison,” Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun said, according to CNN. “And she’s been kept at separate confinement well.”\n\nDeposed civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi has already been sentenced to several years in prison on various criminal charges that were filed after the junta takeover in Februry 2021. File Photo by Diego Azubel/EPA-EFE\n\nMany senior members of Suu Kyi’s government and party are among those held in Naypyidaw. Adviser and Australian economist Sean Turnell is also detained there.\n\nIn April, the junta-led government sentenced Suu Kyi to five years in prison on a corruption conviction. Military prosecutors said she took hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes, including gold.\n\nSuu Kyi has rejected the accusations and some independent legal experts have said they are sham charges intended solely to legitimize and justify the military takeover last year.\n\nSince Suu Kyi’s removal, the Myanmar military has tried and convicted Suu Kyi on other charges — including possessing unauthorized walkie-talkies and violating COVID-19 restrictions. She’d already been sentenced to six years in prison on separate charges."

"I first became aware of the ridiculously titled The Love Butcher when the crew over at RedLetterMedia planned to watch it for one of their Best of the Worsts specials, only to discover that the tape in their possession was damaged and unwatchable. A week later, the Alamo announced its Weird Wednesday line-up for the month of October, and Butcher was the revealed as the month’s first screening. A forgotten oddity, the 1975 proto-slasher focuses on the the split personality of physically handicapped Caleb and his suave, handsome, murderous alter ego Lester.\n\nCaleb (Erik Stern) is a gardener referred to by many of his beautiful but insensitive clients as “a cripple,” due to his malformed left hand, clubfoot, and coke bottle glasses. Bald and with perpetually gross bits of black gunk on his teeth, Caleb shares a shack with his brother, Lester. Caleb failed to protect Lester from some terrible event when they were children, leading Caleb to be haunted by his own psyche; Lester is in reality only a figment of Caleb’s warped mind, one who sometimes takes over Caleb’s body (and dons a wig) to murder the “sluts” who populate their town. Meanwhile, journalist Russell Wilson (Jeremiah Beecher, in his only film role) first antagonizes the police and then works with them to track down the murderer, much to the chagrin of both the perpetually annoyed Captain Stark (Richard Kennedy) and Wilson’s long-suffering girlfriend, Florence (Kay Neer, also in her only film role), who has grown increasingly weary of his unpredictable newspaperman hours.\n\nOf all Caleb’s clients, Florence is the one who treats him best. The first victim that we see is a woman who gives him a hard time for asking for water then suddenly turning into a sly seductress when asking if Caleb can recommend an AC repairman; he “sends” Lester, who murders her. Lester also seduces and then murders a Texan expat (Eve Mac, also in her only film role; sensing a pattern here?) whose irritation at Caleb for placing a lawn sprinkler right outside of her window and spilling manure everywhere is actually fairly reasonable, up until the point that she starts berating him for being a freak. All throughout, Lester goes into hysterical diatribes that feature some of the most outlandishly misogynistic dialogue ever uttered on screen, so blatantly and outrageously sexist that it cannot possibly have been meant to be taken seriously. Lester blames the women of the world—all of them, including the boys’ own dead mother—for literally draining the life force out of men through sex. Not all of his victims are so cruel, however; the woman with whom he shares the screen for the longest time, Sheila (Robin Sherwood, who also appeared in Blow Out and Death Wish 2, so, hey, good for her) is the sweet young wife of a dickish older husband who withholds sex from her and berates her musical choices while also demanding his Ovaltine. Sheila asks Caleb to take some time off because she’s not comfortable being alone with a man while her husband is out of town on business, and when Lester approaches her as a record salesman, she spurns his sexual advances. Her only real crime is being too naive; she recognizes Lester in his second disguise when he comes to repair her plumbing but still lets him into the house. What?\n\nThe police can’t figure out who the killer is, despite the fact that virtually all of the murders are committed with gardening tools and in a single neighborhood, against a group of women who all have the same gardener (whoever could the killer be?!). Florence is so kind as to invite Caleb into her home for lunch, a gesture that it seems no one has ever shown him before. Lester is infuriated by this person who doesn’t jibe with his conception of women, so he sets out to seduce Flo, only to be spurned by her on the evening that Russell has finally proposed. This somehow allows Caleb to finally overcome Lester and realize that it was Caleb, not Lester, who died when they were children, and that Lester took on the affectations of being Caleb because Caleb was their mother’s favorite. On screen, it’s much less confusing than it sounds.\n\nThe film’s first cut was directed by Mikel Angel, who also co-wrote the script. Initially more of a straightforward exploitation movie, Don Jones (whose directing career began with the luridly titled Schoolgirls in Chains and ended with Molly and the Ghost, which doesn’t sound so bad until you see the cover) was tasked with recutting the film into something more comedic. Instead of the hodgepodge film you would expect from such a cobbled together affair, Butcher is fairly straightforward in its brief 82 minute run time, although I suspect that earlier versions of the film featured more of Captain Stark and the reporter investigating, as their combined screen time in the finished product in comparison to Stern’s elegantly delivered monologues is so minimal as to seem almost superfluous. These monologues have to be seen to be believed; imagine Dandy from American Horror Story: Freak Show, but as played by someone with a real hunger for scenery that manages to deftly tread the line between camp and menace rather than just crossing back and forth over it. Some great lines include “I’m the great male Adonis of the universe!” (which, frankly, he isn’t too far off the mark, because damn) and “You’re going to make love to me; satiate me, fill me with nymphoid satisfaction. Drain me, and then you’ll lie at the foot of my altar and adore my godly beauty.”\n\nLester’s overly verbose and surprisingly sophisticated rants manage to be at once menacing and hilarious, and it’s a testament to the late Erik Stern’s acting that they work at all. For a performance in a movie with no pretensions about being anything other than schlockbait, Stern really commits to his dual role, and to the various other roles and disguises Lester dons in his murdercapades; “Buck” is a treasure, as is the British plumber, although his brown-faced Puerto Rican record salesman disguise is a little uncomfortable (not to mention, what was he going to do if he successfully seduced Sheila on this first attempt and his body had a completely different fleshtone from his face?). Stern brings a pronounced, theatrical-but-understated physicality to the role, crafting very different screen presences for Caleb and Lester, to the extent that you may actually find yourself forgetting that it’s a dual role. There was real potential and talent there; perusing the list of one-shot TV guest appearances that make up the bulk of his career saddened me because he actually could have gone pretty far as an actor but he never caught the break he needed.\n\nThis is a fun, and funny, movie. In much the same way that Tristram Shandy satirized the novel as a form despite being one of the first ten or so novels in the Western world, The Love Butcher mocks, subverts, and emulates the slasher despite having been conceived when that concept was only beginning to solidify. It’s an exploitation film that will use a cartoon sound effect when an older man shows off his bicep in one scene and then have a woman beaten to death with a sharp rake in the next. One scene may show Stern as Caleb having a discussion with “Lester,” personified as Lester’s wig on a styrofoam head—with a lit cigar in its “mouth”; in the next, Stern may be wringing a surprising amount of pathos out of being apprehended just after Caleb finally wrests control from Lester permanently, mewlingly pleading with the police to understand that Lester had done all those horrible things. It’s a movie that demands to be seen."

"With over 2.5 million jobs lost in the past four months, it is an employer's market. I myself have a number of friends looking for work, a search no doubt made more difficult by the following fact: According to the 50,000 respondents of the General Social Survey, we young people are a self-admitted group of huge slackers.\n\nIt's understandable, however, that we have little time left for work, as apparently we spend all our time having sex and watching TV. (More on that later.)",
null,
"So what are these younger workers doing with all their free time? Well, one thing they're doing is having sex. Remember this chart from Lose Your Job, Improve your Sex Life?\n\nOh, and then there's TV, of course. Time spent watching TV is at a near high for teenagers and decreases steadily with age, right up until retirement age when TV viewing spikes again. With all the time they're spending having sex and watching TV, it's no wonder that young workers don't have much time left for the office.",
null,
"It should be noted, however, that there is a cure to this idyllic lifestyle, and it's called marriage.\n\nAccording to the survey responses, the stereotype of spouses who spend all their time at the office is more than just a cliché, it's a fact of life. Married respondents rate themselves as working far harder than never married respondents, though still not as hard as those whose marriages have ended. (For you nitpickers, the trend does hold even after controlling for age.)",
null,
"So what's the moral of this story? Well, there are several perspectives to consider.\n\nAs an employer, there's little you can do to make your young employees age faster. But maybe you can get them married off. Perhaps a subsidized matchmaking program?\n\nIf you're young and single, well, enjoy it while it lasts. And perhaps take your employer's new subsidized matchmaking program with a grain of salt.\n\nAnd for those of you who are happily married? Well, we would never suggest that your employer is rooting for your marriage to fail just to get a few more hours of work out of you. But just to be on the safe side, maybe you shouldn't show them this article."

"Over the weekend, a Twitter user from Texas named Alavia Khawaja shared a distressing story involving her most recent Airbnb guest who stayed at her apartment.\n\nAccording to her thread, which has garnered over 19,000 retweets since Sunday (28th October), she quickly noticed something was amiss when she discovered that he had picked the lock on her bedroom, went through her closet, and had even thrown all the photos she had of her male friends. Alavia then kicked him out of her apartment when he denied everything after she confronted him.\n\nShortly after kicking him out, Alavia later discovered that the man had also stolen around USD$500 (approx. RM2,089), prompting her to report him to the police as well as to Airbnb. However, the police allegedly told her that the man’s record was clean.\n\nI called the police and gave my statement. The PD had trouble locating his “clean record” and that meant they didn’t take me seriously\n\nThings took a turn for the worse when the man began messaging her via text and even on the Airbnb app, asking her to come over to his house. Feeling even more unsettled, she called the police again to speak to the detective who was investigating the case. She then discovered that this man was recently arrested for harming a child, but the police could not do anything unless he confessed to stealing the money from her.\n\nAlavia later received another text from the man, who said that he was on his way over to her apartment. She tried to get him to confess to stealing from her, but he denied it.\n\nThe PD and Airbnb did nothing to help me so I decided to text him back, and he immediately responded pic.twitter.com/LP4WX3sepZ\n\nSoon after that, she called the police once again as she feared that he would try to come into her home again, but they allegedly told her that they could not do anything at the moment and that she should call 911 if she sees him. Feeling unsafe, she chose to wait in her car outside her home so she could keep an eye out for the man.\n\nDuring that time, she received even more disturbing texts from him, asking if her bathroom was clean and if she had condoms that he could use once he arrived.\n\nI parked my car across the complex where I could keep an eye on my door. He was still texting me. “ I better not have any guys there” “bathroom better be clean” “I need condoms”\n\nIf my friend had not been with me during the first confrontation, who knows what would have happened to me pic.twitter.com/Y4Y4K2dfHM\n\nThe man eventually showed up at her door, prompting Alavia to call the police, who rushed to the scene and arrested him for trespassing. He was reportedly carrying three pistols at the time. However, while still under police custody in jail, the man allegedly tried to call her four times.\n\nWhile the authorities assured the Airbnb host that he would be in jail for some time, he was released just 24 hours later and immediately proceeded to continue messaging her again on Airbnb.\n\nI told Airbnb all of this. It took them about two weeks to do anything about it. They deleted his profile yesterday. This is trash service. I could’ve been murdered. This is a warning to everyone who uses Airbnb\n\nShe reported the incident to Airbnb once again, but it took two weeks for his profile to finally be deleted.\n\nSpeaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Alavia provided an update on the man’s whereabouts, stating that he is still at large to her knowledge but has not contacted her since his Airbnb profile got deleted.\n\n“If he was caught, they didn’t tell me, but the police have a warrant for his arrest. (However), when I asked if they would trace his credit cards, they told me it’s an inefficient way and that I needed to wait for him to either have a traffic violation or to do something stupid again and have him arrested.”",

"Meanwhile, Airbnb has also issued a statement addressing the matter, assuring that they are working with the authorities. Their statement reads,\n\n“This reported behaviour is abhorrent and unacceptable and has no place on Airbnb. We have removed this guest from our platform and are in contact with local law enforcement to offer our assistance.”\n\n“Our initial response to this incident was simply too slow and we are working to fully support our host. There have been over 400 million guest arrivals to date and negative incidents are extremely rare.”\n\nWhatever it is, let’s hope that the authorities find this man before anyone gets hurt!",

"“Generals January and February mount guard for the Canadian people all year round,” historian Charles P. Snow opined in 1940, to general agreement and relief. The Second World War was to change that opinion.\n\nAdolph Hitler sent more than three million troops to invade Russia on June 22, 1941, mistakenly believing Russia would capitulate to his blitzkrieg as quickly as western European nations at the beginning of the war.",
null,
"German troops at the Soviet state border marker, 22 June 1941.\nWikipedia\nBut it was no blitzkrieg. German troops won battle after battle, conquered city after city, but the Soviets would not surrender. Having to fight every inch of the way, German troops did not capture Moscow as scheduled that summer. Winter was coming when they finally approached the capital, and the Germans were unprepared for fighting in temperatures that dipped to -40 C.",
null,
"German soldier tending to his comrade.\nWikipedia\nWinter warfare was fought on many fronts in the Second World War, including by the Finns, when the Soviets invaded in 1939, and in 1944-1945 by the Canadians in the Netherlands and the Americans in the Battle of the Bulge.\n\nRealizing its north was vulnerable to winter attack, the Canadian military decided it should become a global expert in winter warfare and began training troops and developing and adapting equipment, clothing and operational methods for missions conducted in temperatures as low as -40 C.\n\nIn early 1945, a winter exercise was held in Saskatchewan to test soldiers and equipment in intense cold and low humidity. The training would also determine winter’s effect on mobility and combat efficiency.\n\nThe 1,750 personnel included infantry from the King’s Own Rifles of Canada, signals specialists, engineers, transport experts and gunners. They were to advance nearly 300 kilometres north from Prince Albert over ground covered with 45 centimetres of snow, along rutted roads and through muskeg.\n\nThe troops were to respond to a scenario recreating field conditions of a faux attack by Japanese forces. It involved a surprise amphibious and airborne assault through Alaska and into Canada, during which key airfields were seized.\n\nThe Brigade Group, commanded by Colonel D.C. Stephenson, moved out at dawn on Jan. 16, 1945. They soon discovered making progress by foot would be slow: the maximum distance that could be achieved while wearing snowshoes was only about 25 kilometres a day.\n\nAmong lessons learned: tracked vehicles were needed as trucks got bogged down travelling over muskeg not yet solidly frozen; “bombs” dropped on frozen lakes did not disrupt travel across the ice, but merely left small holes when they broke through the surface; telephone wires could be laid from the air.\n\nAnother exercise, called “Polar Bear” tested the performance of 1,150 soldiers and materiel under wet and cold conditions in mountainous northern British Columbia in March 1945. Most of the troops were from the 1st Battalion and Prince Albert Volunteers, but some personnel included medical, signals, armoured, artillery, engineering, transport and army service corps units, plus Dakota and Norseman aircraft.\n\nThe scenario for this training also involved a spearhead Japanese force, this time landed by submarine, to build a road for a subsequent larger force. The Canadians moved by snowshoe, horse and snowmobile. The men tested out hauling artillery by travois pulled by horses. In this exercise they encountered conditions varying from wet coastal terrain to three metres of snow in the mountains.",

"Soldiers trekking uphill with pack horses through mountainous terrain in the polar bear exercise\nNorthern BC Archives & Special Collections\nThe RCAF tested out landing strips on lake ice (some of the tractors broke through the surface) and dropping supplies from altitudes varying from 1,200 to 1,800 metres. Cargo from upper heights were scattered by wind and they even tried dropping jeeps by parachutes, one of which was smashed when the parachute did not open fully.\n\nOne unusual task for pilots was dropping hay bales and oats to feed the horses. (A couple of times hay bales struck the tails of the Dakota transports).\n\nOne observation from the tests was that men could survive in harsh terrain in winter conditions, but if they had to pack or drag their own supplies, they wouldn’t have enough energy to work or fight.\n\nThe journey was fraught with difficulties, including stuck vehicles, loss of radio communications and navigational problems.\n\nThe next exercise, “Lemming,” showed that there are differences between winter and Arctic warfare.\n\nA convoy of six vehicles, two snow tractors, army sledges and traditional Inuit sleds were to carry a small party testing snow vehicles on sea ice and barren ground on a 1,000-kilometre round trip from Churchill, Man., to Padlei, N.W.T. (present-day Nunavut). The main objective was to gather information on how to extend operations in sub-Arctic conditions, explore areas for future winter exercises and test snow vehicles.\n\nA small party left Churchill on March 22, 1945, and returned April 6. The journey was fraught with difficulties, including stuck vehicles, loss of radio communications and navigational problems.\n\nWith no roads or railheads for movement in the Arctic, units would have to be self-sufficient or supplied by air. But missions were possible, reported the commander.\n\n“The exercise proved that the inaccessibility of the Arctic is just another myth,” wrote Lieutenant-Colonel Patrick Baird. “Providing supplies are assured, operations on the barren grounds which represent one third of Canada’s area can be as unhindered as operations on the Libyan deserts.”\n\nHe recommended development of snow vehicles, and that training continue.\n\nAll Posts\nPrevPrevious ArticleLove bombing: the story of the last woman executed in Canada\nNext ArticleThe Buffalo’s last runNext"

"TEREX Trucks’ TA300 articulated hauler has been updated with a new transmission, which has led to improvement in fuel efficiency, performance, productivity and operator comfort, the manufacturer claims.\n\nThe 28-tonne machine will now incorporate the EP320 transmission from ZF as standard. This, according to Terex Trucks, has resulted in a 5% improvement in fuel efficiency, as well as enhanced performance and productivity, when compared to the previous model working in the same application. The new transmission features eight forward gears, along with four reverse gears, higher overall gear ratio speed, equal ratio steps between gears and optimised gear shifting with partial load shifts, all of which aims to offer smoother gear shifting and thereby higher levels of operator comfort. The TA300 also has true independent front suspension as standard, enabling “excellent” traction control and “maximum productivity in the most challenging of conditions”. The hauler’s maximum speed has increased to 34 mph, up from 31 mph and it now comes with long life transmission fluid, which Terex describe as increasing the length of time between oil maintenance intervals from 1,000 to 4,000 hours.\n\n“Developing and testing the new EP320 transmission for the TA300 was a collaborative effort between Terex Trucks and ZF.\n\n“The new transmission has been calibrated specifically for the TA300 and rigorously tested for two years internally and by operators on real job sites, working in a variety of conditions. Operators have had nothing but praise for the upgraded machine. Among some of the most commonly citied benefits are the improved fuel efficiency and performance, as well as the smoother gear shift quality.”\n\nThe updated TA300 will initially be available from August in Europe and North America."

"Southwest Missouri continues to grow rapidly, and in Springfield that growth is most felt in the southwest area of the 160,000-resident town. Where once there were wide-open fields and few businesses, neighborhood after neighborhood of suburban homes, newer schools and a host of restaurants and shopping areas now mark the landscape. With Republic to the east and Battlefield just off the tip of the southwest area, there isn’t a lot that divides the smaller towns from the ‘Queen City of the Ozarks.’ With James River Freeway ringing the southern and western edges of town before meeting up with Interstate 44, the Springfield-Branson National Airport is a quick drive from the area.\n\nClick here to search for listings in Southwest Springfield.\n\nThe history of Springfield Southwest is mostly told by its proximity to Wilson’s Creek Battlefield, the site of one of the bloodiest fights of the Civil War. While the battle pitted brother against brother and cousin against cousin, the serene national park now offers a look back at the historic and contentious time in our country and state, as well as a picturesque spot for hiking and biking. This area of town is perfect for those who commute to work as major roadways lead in every direction from southwest Springfield.",

"More established subdivisions in southwest Springfield, built in the 1960s and ‘70s, include Parkcrest and Village Green, both with mature trees on winding roadways. Chesterfield Village is a walkable neighborhood and marketplace, offering upscale homes, lofts and apartments. Amenities include a movie theater and restaurants serving everything from pizza to Mexican food. Newer subdivisions, such as Rivercut, offer built-to-suit lots and established homes surrounding a golf course. Countless other subdivisions offer more affordable options as well as sky-is-the-limit pricing.",

"With more than 100 locations, Springfield-Greene County Parks offer everything from playgrounds to golfing to swimming. In Springfield Southwest, one of the most visited is Close Memorial Park/Nathanael Greene. The large park includes the Bill Roston Butterfly House, Springfield Botanical Gardens and Center, the Gray/Campbell Farmstead and the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden, the latter offering a large koi lake, moon bridge, meditation garden, teahouse and traditional Japanese garden landscaping. Close/Nathanael Greene also makes available access to the South Creek Greenway Trail, which includes seven miles of asphalt and mixed concrete surfaces for bikers, runners, cyclists and in-line skaters. The trailhead for the greenway begins at McDaniel Park and runs east to west past Horton Smith Golf Course, Sherwood Elementary School, Carver Middle School and many neighborhoods and destinations in southwest Springfield.",

"Dining is found all over Springfield Southwest, with primarily chain restaurants on the menu, although locally owned eateries and pubs are found primarily on Republic Road. Roadside produce is available, as well as a few food trucks along the once rural but now expanded roadway that runs along the southern edge of the area. Major shopping centers have yet to find their way to this part of town, although local shops are springing up as newer housing is built.\n\nTwo high schools are located in southwest Springfield, with Parkview nearer to center city and Kickapoo nearer to the east. Parkview is named for its proximity to Fassnight Park, offering students a view of the park and public swimming pool from school windows. Economically and culturally diverse, over 90 percent of the school building is new or renovated construction when a two-phase, $20 million project was completed in 2008. Kickapoo, the newest high school in Springfield, opened its doors in 1971. Each high school enrolls nearly 2000 students annually. Chase Card Services, located in southwest Springfield, is the top 12th employer in the city. Premier outdoors retailer Bass Pro Shops in headquartered in Springfield Southwest, offering nearly 500,000 feet of space for shopping and dining."

"Last Sunday saw the 37th Laurence Olivier Awards take place at the Royal Opera House, hosted by Sheridan Smith and Hugh Bonneville, alongside a free event at Covent Garden Piazza which showed the ceremony live on big screens to the crowds gathered there. With every awards ceremony, one or more shows emerge as the night’s big winners, taking home several awards in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the world of theatre that year. For 2013, it was Simon Stephens’ stage-adapted production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time which was the undeniable success story of the night, leaving with seven Olivier Awards having only missed out in one of their nominated categories. On the musical theatre side of things though, the main accolades went to Sweeney Todd and Top Hat. Following an acclaimed UK tour, starring Tom Chambers and Summer Strallen, Top Hat made its West End transfer to the Aldwych Theatre, where it is currently running with Gavin Lee and Kristen Beth Williams now playing the leading roles of Jerry Travers and Dale Tremont, first made famous by Fred Astaire and Ginger Roberts in the original 1935 film. The cast of the ‘Best New Musical’ were also one of the live acts to appear on stage at the Olivier Awards and blew the audience away with their performance. No one person makes a show, and the success of Top Hat is undoubtedly a collaborative effort by the entire company, from the principal actors to the ensemble members. This is why the featured ensemble member for this week’s In Profile is Charlie Bull.\n\nCharlie Bull is a graduate of the Arts Educational School, which has produced such notable talents as Julie Andrews, Bonnie Langford, Glenn Carter, Sally Ann Triplett and the Strallen sisters, including former Top Hat cast member Summer Strallen. She has made an impressive start to her stage career, having toured in numerous productions and appeared in a number of West End musicals, amongst other projects.\n\nBull was in the original London company of Jersey Boys, the ‘jukebox’ musical based on 1960’s rock ‘n roll band Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons which opened at the Prince Edward Theatre in 2008. She played the leading role of reporter Lorraine, girlfriend of Frankie Valli and cause of contention between him and band mate Tommy DeVito when DeVito makes a move on her. Another West End role saw her playing Martha, a Burelli Sister, in Rat Pack at the Adelphi Theatre, along with her turn in the ensemble of smash hit musical Mamma Mia, which recently celebrated its 14-year anniversary. She appeared in the ABBA musical at its former home of the Prince of Wales Theatre, where in addition to performing in the ensemble, she understudied and played the principal role of bride-to-be Sophie. Her West End credits also include the 2004 revival of Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre.\n\nHer on-stage experiences are not limited to West End shows of course. Bull has travelled extensively in touring productions, perhaps most notably in the UK tour of Saturday Night Fever, which subsequently transferred to the Apollo Victoria for a West End run. She played the role of Connie as well as covering lead character Stephanie Mangano, playing the part onstage on a number of occasions. She was also part of the touring company of My Fair Lady, produced by the renowned Cameron Mackintosh.\n\nHer name has appeared in the casting list of many theatrical productions outside of the West End and major touring shows. She was dance captain on two regional musicals, the first being the Chichester Festival Theatre production of the classic Cabaret, in which she played the role of Heidi, and the other Babes in Arms at the New Theatre in Cardiff, playing the role of Mitzi Lee. She has also played The Enchanted Fridge in Paradise Moscow for Opera North at Leeds Grand Theatre and also on tour.\n\nCharlie Bull is currently appearing in Top Hat at the Aldwych Theatre, playing the ensemble roles of Florist’s Assistant and Italian Maid. She is fortunate to be involved in this acclaimed production, which is now also a three-time Olivier Award winner, but the show is also fortunate to have such a highly-capable and impressively talented performer in its company.",

"Alumnus Lim said he wanted “to share the honor of the award with my teachers, senior and fellow professors, and students who helped me and did research with me.\" He then told stories of his life at Yonsei University, where he indulged his fondness for baseball and music by serving as the pitcher for the team of the College of Commerce and Economics and also working as a part-time DJ at the Eagle’s Café across the street from the school. Then he returned to discussing the distribution industry, emphasizing the importance of trust-based relationships for success and conveyed his philosophy of win-win cooperation and shared growth.\n\nHis award, he concluded, represents “the most memorable moment in my 40 years of teaching.\"\n\nAlumna Jeeyeon Kim, who received the Emerging Scholar Award, said, \"The Ph.D. course at Yonsei School of Business was so valuable to me that I devoted my life ?to academics?; it brought me great happiness to be able to share my thoughts and research.\" She added, \"It was a turning point in my life to meet Professor Jeonghye Choi at the Yonsei School of Business.\" Finally, she ended her acceptance speech with a promise to continue to “focus more on research to help develop the Korean distribution industry.\"\n\nSangjeon Academic Excellency was established by the Korean Distribution Association and sponsored by the Lotte Group to commemorate the achievements and business philosophy of the Honorary Chairman Kyuk-ho Shin (pseudonym “Sangjeon”), who devoted his life to developing the Korean distribution industry to be competitive with advanced countries. The association’s awards reflect a commitment to discover and nurture scholars who devote themselves to research on theories and systems in distribution. The awards carry cash prizes of 30 million won for the Grand Award, 15 million won for the Best Award, and 10 million won for the Emerging Scholar Award.\n\nThe honorees were selected based on evaluations of submitted research by academic experts from the Korean Distribution Association and Lotte Group. YSB Professor Emeritus Se Jo Oh won the Grand Award last year at the first awards ceremony."

Her sister who lived in NYC gave it to her in the 1960s. It has Picasso's name & what I think is a date in the left-hand corner. It looks like \"Le P 12.60 which I think means 1 December 1960. \"Le Premier\" is how the first day of the month is sometimes written in French. It has a label on the back that says \"Picasso Arts Inc.\" It is black & white and looks like the white profile of a face on the left flowing into the black profile of a face on the right. I searched the Picasso Online Project for 1960 & didn't find anything, and a local art gallery (Roy Saper) couldn't identify it. Nearby libraries don't own the Catalogue Raisonnes.

It is a very fine reproduction of a drawing ('Tete' in Zervos XIX, no. 386, 'Double Head' in Margaret Silberman 'Pour Margaret from Picasso with Love' (Akanthus, CH 8802 Kilchberg/Zurich, Fax 0041 44 715 37 54) pp.27-29.\n\nThe Chinese-ink drawing was made by Picasso on 12 November 1960 and given to my mother, Margaret Silberman, on the first of December 1960. Sometime in the 1960s my mother was approached by a company (I think it was French) which asked for permission to reproduce the drawing - omitting the full dedication 'Pour Margaret Silberman, hommage de Picasso, le P er [premier] 12.60' but leaving the signature and date. I do not know the name of the company nor have any idea whether or how they marketed the reproduction. In return for having granted them permission, the company gave my mother a number of reproductions for herself. My mother never sold any of these but she would give them as presents to particular friends. Your husband's aunt must havwe been one of those.\n\nWe have been trying to determine the provenance of a lithograph that I inherited from my mother in Beverly Hills last year -- Intérieur rouge avec aun transatlantique blue.\n\nLast year, we were referred to The Picasso Administration by Sotheby's London, based upon the fact that our Intérieur rouge avec aun transatlantique blue does not appear to have any series notation nor does it indicate an EA or HC in absence of a numbered edition so they were puzzled about how to value it. The PA has since said that they think it's a fake but we have now come to find out that the person my mother purchased the litho from purchased it from your mother.\n\nWithout revealing the personal details given that this IS public and the internet, may complicate your assessment. We would be happy to reveal these details to you privately, if that makes any difference in your consideration but we would be grateful for any clarity you can bring to this.\n\nWe also have another piece -- No. 43/300 of Nature morte au citron et un picket rouge which was evidently also purchased from your mother, although the provenance of this one does not appear to be in question.\n\nCan you help us with any further details about the Interior rouge as we are wanting to get it insured.\n\nKatie J.., United Kingdom\n0 Replies\n1\nReply Fri 3 Jul, 2015 08:47 am\n@daughter of Margaret,\nHello,\nI would love to determine if I have the same print or a different one. Our source was different. Is there a way for you to contact me directly (choc or Margaret's daughter)? Thanks.\n0 Replies\n1\nReply Sat 16 Jul, 2016 01:22 pm\n@choc,\nYou are the only reference I have found so far of someone who has the same label on the back of their Picasso as my family's piece has. I would greatly appreciate any update you might give on your research into this company. Our piece is a known piece so we know it's title. But I am extremely curious about the label, the company, and the black and white face that is on the label. Thank you.\n0 Replies"

"A CNET model based on the first round of coronavirus relief payments in April, Americans can expect funds to start being released the week of August 24.\n\nAs in April, the payments are likely to be delivered by one of three methods: a check in the mail, a direct payment, or a debit card loaded with the funds.\n\nThe payments will likely be staggered, meaning while some could receive the money in late August, millions might not get theirs until September, or even early October.\n\nIt could be further delayed if the Senate does not reach a deal by the August 7 recess, meaning negotiations would resume until September 8."

"One of the greatest things of living in Turkey is being able to taste the delicious Turkish cuisine! And as for me, someone who likes anything sweet, Turkish desserts are the reason to sing the song “I’m in heaven!” … Or like we, Turks say; ‘Eat sweets, talk sweet’.\nI was lucky enough to meet my great grand father (my mother’s grand father) when I was a little girl. He was not only a sweet man but also the man of sweets. Because of his passion for making sweets, he started a business of selling sweets. And that’s how he got his last name as “Tatlıcı” which means sweets maker or seller. As a part of his family, I’m also very interested in Turkish desserts and sweets which are far more richer than “Turkish Delight” (Lokum) and “Baklava” indeed. Traditional Turkish desserts can be explained in three categories; desserts with milk, desserts with pastry and desserts with fruit.\nDesserts with milk include a wide variety of puddings, also called as the “muhallebi” family. These puddings are made with starch and rice flour, without any eggs or any butter and some of them are baked. Simply Muhallebi is a baked milk-and-rice pudding. It’s got a yellowish color with brown spots on the top where the baking has burned it. When it’s unbaked, it’s called Sütlaç. Another light pudding with rose-water and thin sheets of pastry in a milky sauce is Güllaç. Keşkül is a milk pudding made with coconut. The milk pudding with strands of chickenbreast called Tavukgöğsü, literally means the breast of chicken. If it’s baked then it’s called Kazandibi.\nDesserts with pastry are not only more calories but also harder to cook. The baked pastries are also called as the “baklava” family. Baklava is made of paper-thin pastrysheets that are brushed with butter, folded and filled with walnuts or pistachios. After it’s baked, a sweet syrup is poured over it. According to the amount of nuts as well as the size and the shape of the dessert, it can be called Sultan Tatlısı or Bülbül Yuvası. Another type in this category is Tulumba which is hard on the outside and very sweet in the inside because of the syrup called sherbet. Revani is a sponge cake with sherbet. Ekmek Kadayıfı is like a bread cake with sherbet. Helva is made by pan-sauteeing flour and pine nuts in butter. After adding sugar as well as milk or water, it’s cooked until they are all absorbed. Helva has a special place in Turkish culture. It’s a part of traditions to serve helva in particular events such as birth, death or some other important days. Lokma is a fried sweet dough, covered in a syrup. Dilber dudağı, hanım göbeği, şekerpare and vezir parmağı are also in this category.\n\nAnd when it comes to the category of desserts with fruit, there’s the famous Ayva tatlısı which is made of quince, walnut and cream. Kabaktatlısı is made of baked pumpkin and syrup. And finally there’s the Aşure which is a festive pudding of fruits, wheat, chickpea, sugar, raisins and a very crowded list of ingredients. Aşure has a religious connection and therefore it is served traditionally on the tenth day of the month of Muharrem.\n\nEven though I’ve to watch my weight and health, I still can’t stop eating these heavenly pleasures and keep singing!..\n\n“Everytime you’re near,\nI start to lose control,\n…… Heaven..\nHeaven..\nI’m in heaven with you!”\n\nNo matter how hard life gets sometimes, there are always some sweet parts that are worth to live for! If you can’t see them, just try one of the famous Turkish desserts which will make life sweeter for you.",

"Saturday 14th December 2013 was a day that will make the history books for Dock City Rollers. Not only did we celebrate our first birthday, but we also hosted our very first home bout against Dirty River Roller Girls from Turku and what a fantastic bout it was!\n\nDCR started off really strong and manage to keep the lead throughout the first period. As the second period began DRRG was out for revengeand managed to close in really fast. Just before the very last jam the scores were tied, 147-147. The entire crowd was on its feet and all players were really nervous, but still both excited and focused. As the whistle blew it looked like DRRG’s jammer was going to get lead status, but as she cut the track and got sent to the box it DCR suddenly got a well needed power jam- When the jam finally was called off the final score was 162-147 to DCR!",

"Ottawa — BlackBerry’s new chief executive cast off persistent talk of the smartphone maker’s demise, vowing on Monday that the company would pick itself back up and was “here to stay.”\n\n“Reports of our death are greatly exaggerated,” John Chen, who was appointed interim chief executive last month, said in an open letter to customers.\n\n“We are very much alive, thank you.”\n\nThe Waterloo, Ontario-based company helped create a culture of mobile users glued to smartphones, but lost its luster as many moved to iPhones or devices using Google’s Android software.\n\nBlackBerry still has some 70 million subscribers worldwide, but most of these are using older handsets, with newer devices on the BlackBerry 10 platform failing to gain traction.\n\nIn September, the company announced that it was laying off 4,500 staff — or one third of its global workforce — after losing $965 million in its last quarter.\n\nTwo months later, it scrapped a search for a suitor and nixed a deal with its largest shareholder Fairfax Financial that would have taken the company private, sparking rampant speculation about its future.\n\n“Our ‘for sale’ sign has been taken down and we are here to stay,” Chen said, adding: “We’re going back to our heritage and roots — delivering enterprise-grade, end-to-end mobile solutions.”\n\nIn his open letter, he said BlackBerry is committed to its handsets, messaging service and servers that manage mobile devices for companies."

"A small number of neighborhoods in New York City are responsible for the vast majority of cars, and their elected officials are wary of calls to “break car culture.”\n\nAccording to recent census data, New Yorkers collectively own just over 1.4 million cars — but just under a third of all those cars are located in only 10 neighborhoods.\n\nThe overwhelming majority of these vehicles are found in areas far from the city’s center with limited public transportation options in Staten Island and Eastern Queens.\n\nRelated: The case for complete streets: A Q&A with Danny Harris, the new leader of TransAlt\n\n“When you talk about breaking the car culture, that isn’t going to happen,” Staten Island Councilmember Steven Matteo told the Brooklyn Eagle. “It’s just not realistic for people here to rely on mass transit when there isn’t enough and what we do have often gets cut.”\n\nIn Matteo’s district, 85 percent of households own a car.",

"Only one Brooklyn neighborhood — Community District 18, which contains Canarsie and Flatlands — was featured in the top 10 car-owning neighborhoods.\n\nMore than 70 percent of households in Canarsie and Flatlands own a car, making the area the most densely car-populated part of Brooklyn. In only three other South Brooklyn community districts — Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay — do more than half of households own a car.\n\nQueens Councilmember Donovan Richards, who represents the southeastern Queens neighborhoods of Far Rockaway, Laurelton and Edgemere, also stressed that reducing the number of cars was unrealistic without investment in alternatives.\n\n“Breaking car culture should be the ultimate goal that we’re striving for, but in order to get there, areas like southeast Queens need to receive consistent, reliable mass transit options that simply don’t exist currently,” Richards said. “We have to make all corners of the borough of Queens more accessible for New Yorkers who don’t have the luxury or the ability to operate and own their own private vehicle before we can ever expect those who do have that privilege to choose mass transit options over their own car.”\n\nThe lowest rate of car ownership can be found in the lower Manhattan neighborhoods of Chelsea, Greenwich Village and Hell’s Kitchen. The neighborhoods are represented by City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, who has recently called for the city to “break the car culture.”\n\n“I can see why those who represent districts with an abundance of mass transit options are eager to break our so-called car culture,” said Councilmember Rory Lancman, who represents a district in eastern Queens where more than 60 percent of households own cars. “But for those of us living in neighborhoods that lack meaningful transit choices, and for the vast majority of us who realistically can’t bike to work, cars are an essential means of getting to where we need to go.”\n\nJohnson believes that honing in on what he calls the “transit crisis” will open the door to fixing other citywide issues. “If we build transit infrastructure that makes it easier to get around by subway or bus, by foot or on a bike, we can reduce the dependence so many New Yorkers have for cars right now,” he told the Eagle. “That’s what I mean when I talk about breaking car culture. It doesn’t mean I think every New Yorker should give up their car. And it’s not an attack on people who live in neighborhoods that are grossly underserved by the subway and need cars to get around. It’s about giving everyone better options so fewer New Yorkers need to drive.”\n\nMinimizing New York City’s reliance on cars will require going through the key neighborhoods where most cars are located, but politicians have lamented the role community boards have played in impeding this effort, especially in the case of building out bike infrastructure.\n\nDepartment of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg told Streetsblog earlier this year that “the piece that’s sort of the biggest challenge to building out the bike network” is “going to community boards” for each proposed lane.\n\nBrooklyn City Councilmember Antonio Reynoso, whose district has a rate of car ownership well below the city average, has echoed this sentiment.\n\nThe push to circumvent community boards and local politics will likely continue to stall advocates for alternatives to cars, so long as the majority of car owners remain in communities without political movements against car-centered infrastructure.\n\nUpdate (Aug. 7 at 1:40 p.m.): This story has been updated with a statement from Corey Johnson."

"Leandro Legara Alejandro (July 10, 1960 — September 19, 1987), known among activists and street parliamentarians as Lean, was an activist, a student leader, and a Left-wing nationalist in the mold of Lorenzo Tañada, Jose Diokno, and Ninoy Aquino.\n\nLean studied at the University of the Philippines and was described by his contemporaries as an intellectual rebel. He became a member of the League of Filipino Students and was elected chairperson of the University Student Council (USC) in 1983-84. He was presiding over the first meeting of the USC in the afternoon of August 21, 1983 at Vinzon’s Hall, the day Ninoy Aquino was shot.\n\nHe was also a writer of the Philippine Collegian, where he wrote articles critical of the Marcos administration. In 1985, the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (BAYAN) was established and Alejandro became its secretary-general. Alongside Tañada and the other BAYAN leaders, Alejandro would be at the frontlines of the parliament of the streets during the 1980s.\n\nAfter the People Power Revolution of 1986, Alejandro decided to enter mainstream politics and bring the movement’s ideals to Congress. He ran for the congressional seat of the Malabon-Navotas district against Tessie Aquino-Oreta, President Corazon C. Aquino‘s sister-in-law. He lost in his bid amid reports of election irregularities. On September 19, 1987, after the failed coup attempt led by Col. Gregorio Honasan, Alejandro announced plans for a major demonstration against the return to fascism. Returning by car to the headquarters of BAYAN, he was fired upon by a gunman instantly killing Alejandro. One suspected that the assassination had been in the angle of Marcos loyalists from the Philippine Army, but no one was arrested for the assassination."

"The Conservative foreign affairs minister demanded — and got — gold embossing on his business cards shortly after being shuffled into the portfolio last May, contrary to government rules.\n\nBaird then ordered the word \"Canada\" dropped from the standard design, also against federal policy.\n\nAnd he insisted that \"Lester B. Pearson Building\" be removed from the standard street address for Foreign Affairs' headquarters in Ottawa, thereby erasing the name of a former Liberal prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize winner.\n\nAnd a bowl of smarties every morning in his office, but no black smarties! And a blue seat cushion for his seat in the HOC, not the regular green seat cushion, because green makes his butt look big. And a pitcher of water for whenever he addresses the House, cooled to 5 degrees below room temperature, as measured in Centigrade. Not Celsius...Centrigrade. And not the caffienated plonk from Tim's at cabinet meetings. Just the superior gay coffee from Satanbucks. Fuck the plebes. They won't see him drinking it. And who else are they going to vote for anyway?",

"The Minister performs La donna è mobile(*) from Rigoletto\n(*) My Italian is a bit rusty, but I think this translates as \"Donna is Easy\" or \"That Donna, She Gets Around\". And rigoletto is some kind of noodle, I think.\n\nCrazy as it comes..anything goes..who in hell does he think he is?\n\nI guess Baird feels he's entitled to his entitlements.\n\nGold embossing on a business card? I'm sure he wanted it to be bone white too. <--- One of the few scenes worth watching from American Psycho.\n\nWhat's a minister in Harper's government supposed to do with their time? It's not like he allows them to actually do any ministerial policy themselves.\n\nSo they really are like little Queens, titular heads of their Royal Canadian Ministries. All they really have control over is protocol."

"This selection of piano music really can be heard at any time of the year, but pianist Stephanie McCallum has chosen a lovely anthology of music which is directly related to the Christmas theme, or would suit the festive season. Amongst the glitter and fake snow that comes with this special time of year, it is sometimes rare to be musically nourished (unless copious doses of fine English cathedral carol services suit you). For those who like instrumental works where words don’t clutter the aural experience, then this recording by one of Australia’s finest pianists will satisfy.\n\nEgon Petri’s transcription of JS Bach’s Sheep May Safely Graze sets a reverential tone, whilst Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite capture the joy and sparkle of this all-time favourite ballet.\n\nGrainger’s fascination with folk songs has produced another lovely transcription on Sussex Mummers’ Christmas Carol. The Pastoral by Dohnanyi has a simplicity even with its many florid elevated lines.\n\nChordal textures predominant in a humble way with Tchaikovsky’s A l’eglise and the Schumann and Liszt versions of Weihnachtslieder, leading into to the 12 movement Weihnachtbaum (Christmas Tree), which is more complex and ambitious as it takes the listener on a journey through familiar carols such as O Holy Night, The Shephers at the Manger, O Come, All Ye Faithful and other motifs where we hear Evening Bells, Carillon and treatments of nativity ideas.\n\nJulian Yu’s Jangled Bells is delightful in the twist he takes on this perennial favourite.\n\nMcCallum’s playing has clarity and real joie de vivre, making this CD a real pleasure to hear. In this collection she has assembled some lesser performed pieces as well as transcriptions which are little treasures for the pianist.\n\nThe timelessness of John Lennon’s and Paul McCartney’s songs was evident in the Sydney Philharmonia Chambers Singers’ foray into the realm of popular music. This select choral group, which was conducted by Dan Walker, communicated the 60’s and 70’s with its convincing combination of song, dance and costumes (colourful outfits ala Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band).\n\nAs Sally Whitwell (who created most of the amazing choral settings and instrumental arrangements) said in her notes, it was “genre defying”. The success of this programme was due to the Whitwell Walker duo’s extraordinary skill in choral arranging and their thorough preparation of the singers. It was an imaginative classical and pop fusion in this theatrical choral experience. Other arrangements were by Keith Abbs, Daryl Runswick and John Black.\n\nThe Sydney Philharmonia Chamber Singers are a world-class ensemble. In the many highlights, such as Penny Lane, Yesterday, All My Loving, Let It Be and A Day in the Life (with its Bach-inspired introduction and use of harpsichord accompaniment and even French Overture rhythms later), Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Blackbird and Back in the USSR (with its quirky but effective entrance of the Russian National Anthem), the audience was treated to beautifully blended voices and soothing tones as well as, at other times, robust and powerful moments. Finishing the concert with a stirring Hey Jude brought a return of both soloists, who were impressive in their solos and duos, interacting well with both choir and audience.\n\nThe psychedelic projections, gobo lighting, small instrumental ensemble and engaging singing will live in one’s memory showing this organisation is as comfortable singing pop and rock, as it does high-end classical works."

"Dear 45th President of the United States of America,\n\nI am curious as to your plans for meeting the predicted energy requirement to keep America running in the coming years. Our electric infrastructure is going to come under a lot of strain in the near future, thanks to our improvement and development of new technologies (prediction shown at bottom.)\n\nIt should be a top priority for the Commander in Chief and the Secretary of Energy to put in place a safeguard so we don't have mass black and brown outs, and also to prevent this from ever happening. There are a myriad of ways we can harness renewable sources like setting up wind farms in states with large expanses of unused land, like Texas and Nevada. We already have a hydroelectric dam on most major rivers across the country. Soon we will have solar panels that can be very tiny but generate great amounts of energy, or that orbit in space and send it back to earth.\n\nOne of the more powerful ways we can get energy is through nuclear power, and while it has never been fully utilized in the U.S. due to no one coming to an agreement on a dumping ground, things have changed. Nuclear waste can now be fused with silicates like glass and clay to make them much safer to handle, and keep them stable while they wait our their billion to trillion year half lives.\n\nI simply ask that a strong effort is made to at least put in a measure that keeps the whole country from experiencing mass power loss.\n\nI hope energy isn't taken lightly over in D.C. (get it?)",

"Jesuit Father Mauricio Jiménez is now on the road to canonization.\n\nFr. Mauricio’s reputation for holiness was well-known. Twenty-five years had passed since his death, and his legacy as a Jesuit formator and as a beloved priest, preacher, and confessor at the various locations where he exercised his ministry has lasted over the years. His remains lay in the cemetery of the Colegio Maximo, in San Miguel, when they were exhumed on January 15, 1979.\n\nHis coffin had practically disintegrated. Surprisingly, his body had not. It was flexible and complete. Three different doctors confirmed this. Two weeks later, when he was buried anew, it was the duty of the man who was then the Jesuit provincial, Fr. Jorge Bergoglio, to ratify this fact. “I bear witness and swear before God our Lord that during these days, from the exhumation until today, the mortal remains of Fr. Mauricio Jiménez did not undergo any treatment to conserve its incorruption. In the same way, no element of this kind has been placed in the zinc coffin in which his body has just been placed.”\n\nFive years earlier, when Fr. Bergoglio was the director of the Colegio Maximo, it had fallen to him as the vice-postulator of the cause to present the beginning of an investigation, with the goal of the eventual beatification and canonization of the servant of God Fr. Mauricio Jiménez Arteaga, SJ.\n\nThirty-three years later, in March 2018, Fr. Mauricio’s remains were moved to the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, in the Villa Trujui neighborhood, where Jesuit missionaries had worked since the neighborhood was established, 30 blocks from the Colegio Maximo. Here, people pray with special devotion for his swift beatification, especially on the 8th day of every month, together with the devotion to Our Lady Undoer of Knots.\n\nThis holy formator of missionary disciples, as he is usually remembered, was born in Spain on September 22, 1881. As a child, he was a humble shepherd who learned to love the Virgin Mary by praying the Rosary at the little chapel of Our Lady of Ulagares, the patroness of the town, to whom he had a particular devotion throughout his life; he mentioned her in the very last letter he wrote. He entered the Jesuit novitiate, and was ordained to the priesthood on July 27, 1913, in the Colegio Máximo de Dertos, in Tarragona. He distinguished himself in Spain as a formator, a mission which he was then sent to carry out in South America, where he was needed. He arrived in Argentina in 1930.\n\nFor 18 years, he was the master of novices in Cordoba, Argentina, where he was also the director of the Colegio de la Sagrada Familia on two occasions. However, his apostolic zeal extended far beyond training future Jesuits; he also carried out an immense work in education, hospitals, spiritual exercises, etc. He continued his work in Montevideo for four years, and then in Buenos Aires as a “rank-and-file soldier,” not in a position of authority—a situation he enjoyed very much—where he lived until his death on December 8, 1954, the 100th anniversary of the declaration of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Shortly before dying, when he received Last Rites, he quoted the Psalms in a soft voice, “I rejoiced when they said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’”\n\nHe was a model priest, a man of peace always ready to listen to God and to others, and a devotee and promoter of devotion to the Virgin Mary. Fr. Mauricio’s testimony continues not only in the lives of those who knew him, but also in his letters and writings.\n\nFr. Julio Merediz, who was the vice-postulator for the cause of St. José Gabriel del Rosario Brochero (an Argentinian known as “the cowboy priest”), now exercises the same role for Fr. Mauricio.\n\nHe met the Servant of God personally, and has always been pastorally involved in the area where Fr. Mauricio’s mortal remains now lie. In a recent conference at the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, he remembered these beautiful words that Father Mauricio spoke during a meditation on the occasion of the Feast of the Sacred Heart.\n\nIn the Heart of Jesus, we love all men. If we were to exclude even just one, we would not be in that heart. In that heart, we cannot remain indifferent to any human misfortune. We cannot tolerate any exploitation of man by fellow man.\n\n[The Heart of Jesus is] strong, like waves without shorelines. A Heart in which sinners and publicans find forgiveness. A Heart that knows all things. A Heart that is powerful in its Mercy. A Heart burning with deep fervor of all noble desires. It is this Heart that we ask to teach us to love.\n\nHeart, Heart, last recourse of all human history. Heart, absolute guarantee of the promises of God, teach us hope. Heart, which remains immovable in its complete fidelity, regardless of our abandonment and betrayal due to our human weakness, Heart as solid as eternal rock, absolute guarantee of all things, make our faith definitively faithful.\n\nFor this reason, the cross is the sign of a love that overcomes all temptations, all doubts, and all divisions, because in our history of sin, the mercy of the Heart of Jesus covers us completely.\n\nOn the most recent celebration of the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, on July 31, 2019, the diocesan phase of the process of beatification of Fr. Mauricio Jiménez was concluded. According to reports, the documents and the work of the historical commission were handed in to the Vatican’s Congregation for Saints’ Causes.",

"Twenty-five companies on Jurong Island have pledged to work together to prioritise safety and health in their workplaces.\n\nThrough the Jurong Island Vision Zero Cluster, these companies will share best practices and innovations with one another. About 100 companies operate on the island.\n\nAt the cluster's launch yesterday, Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad said workplace safety and health (WSH) standards on Jurong Island must be kept as high as possible as process operations there involve hazardous materials such as flammable petroleum products and corrosive chemicals.\n\n\"Any lapses in safety procedures may result in loss of lives and injuries. There will certainly be business losses as well,\" he said.\n\nFor example, two years ago, an oil tank fire broke out on the island and took about five hours to be put out. While no one was hurt, precious time and resources were lost, he told about 100 company executives and staff at Jurong Town Hall.\n\nThe cluster is an initiative by the Jurong Island Vision Zero Working Group formed in February, while Vision Zero is a nationwide movement launched in 2015 to promote the mindset that all injuries and ill health at work are preventable.\n\nMr Lucas Ng, who chairs the working group, said companies in the cluster pledge to adopt five WSH measures, such as implementing pre-emptive measures and including all those in the company's supply chain in WSH efforts.",

"Plan for drones to inspect pipelines on Jurong Island\n\nMr Ng, plant general manager at Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore, said the group plans to have events like forums and dialogues from early next year, after first getting more firms to join the cluster.\n\nThe first 25 companies employ or contract about 30,000 workers.\n\nIn his speech, Mr Zaqy said the commitment by the companies' senior management to prioritise safety and health will influence contractors and vendors as well.\n\n\"In the long term, good WSH management and performance is a competitive advantage and useful branding for companies and industries operating in Singapore... and Jurong Island in particular.\"\n\nHe said he hoped other industries would be inspired to form their own versions of Vision Zero clusters.\n\nOne company in the new cluster is oil refinery Singapore Refining Company. Health, safety, environment and quality manager Adrian Ang shared some of its WSH strategies, such as moving from a \"blame and punish\" approach to a \"learn and improve\" approach three years ago.\n\nFor example, when a crane driver twisted his ankle while climbing down, the old approach would have concluded that the driver made the mistake of landing awkwardly.\n\nBy treating it as a learning experience, the team decided that workers needed to use a safer method to climb ladders."

"I have a 2009 XLRv and I am getting the above warning on the LED panel. It first happened last year and I took the car into the local dealer service and after having it for a day and running a half of a tank of gas through the engine at idle, they gave the car back to me with a bill for $160 along with their apologies.... they were stumped!\n\nI took the car and after spending a week fooling around with it, I decided to replace the battery. Presto! The message went out and everything went back to normal.\nNow the message has returned and also the AC has stopped as well. Unlike before, I can turn the message off with the Reset button but that is the extent of the cure.\n\nHas anyone encountered a similar problem and can enlighten me? Because the AC has ceased to work I either have to get a kit to charge it or take it back again to my local dealer and hope that he has a new tech in the service area.\n\nI'm assuming your last year trip to the dealer was a Cadillac dealer service department? Since they were 'stumped' on the last go-round, I think I would find a Chevy dealership that sells lots of Corvettes, or a independent shop which specializes in Vettes, and let them track down your problem with a Tech who works mainly on Vettes. Those Techs are usually the best wrenches that the service departments have and are more familiar with the workings of these cars. Just my opinion....\n\nYes it was a Cadillac dealership. Your suggestion is a good one and I will pursue it.",

"We are extremely delighted to receive such an overwhelming response from students of various reputed schools and colleges from all over India who participated in the said essay completion in celebration of National Sports Day. Sport shows intellectual property (IP) in action. Patents encourage technological advances that result in better sporting equipment. Trademarks, brands and designs contribute to the distinct identity of events, teams and their gear. Copyright-related rights generate the revenues needed for broadcasters to invest in the costly undertaking of broadcasting sports events to fans all over the world. IP rights are the basis of licensing and merchandising agreements that earn revenues to support development of the sports industry.\n\nThis year, the underlying idea behind choosing a theme related to Intellectual Property while celebrating National Sports Day is to explore how innovation is making our lives healthier, safer, and more comfortable by turning problems into progress. The epoch-making changes that we have undergone in the past was given birth to by the ordinary people who innovate extraordinary things for the better. Their innovations take myriad forms, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous. Innovation is a human force that knows no limits which turns problems into progress pushing the boundaries of possibility, creating unprecedented new capabilities.\n\nIndia being a cornucopia of knowledge, capabilities and skill has left no stone unturned in protecting its creativity. In the recent times Indian Judiciary has delivered such judgments in the sphere of Intellectual Property which apart from expanding its scope in India have also been exemplary worldwide.\n\nLast year saw many significant IP developments, for instance the most awaited National IPR Policy, was approved by the Union Cabinet and made public by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion on May 12, 2016, that laid down the future roadmap for Intellectual Property Protection and Management in India. In terms of IPR awareness, 2016 was laden with one government initiative after the other. The year began with the Start-Up India: Stand-Up India campaign which was launched on January 16, 2016. The campaign is an action plan aimed at promoting bank financing for start-up ventures to boost entrepreneurship and encourage Start-Ups with job creation. The policy hopes to restrict the role of states in the policy domain and to get rid of the license raj and hindrances like land permissions, foreign investment proposal, environmental clearances, etc. To further facilitate a culture of innovation, the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks released the ‘Scheme for Facilitating Start-ups Intellectual Property Protection’. The major objective of the scheme is to protect and promote Intellectual Property Rights awareness for start-ups and to encourage creativity and innovation amongst them by the appointment of IP facilitators. As an incentive, the start-ups shall not have to pay any kind of fee for seeking services from the facilitators. Instead, the facilitators shall directly be paid by the Central Government through the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trademarks. The Courts also rendered some noteworthy judgments and observations like in the DU Photocopy case, the Prius Trademarks Infringement case, the green light given to Biocon by the Delhi High Court to continue to market the breast cancer drug, Traztuzumab.\n\nWe however look forward to more such milestones by the Indian Judiciary which strikes a balance between creativity and public interest.\n\nOf the multiple entries received, we have shortlisted the winning entries –\n\nThe winners of the Competition are –\n\nThe winners will also get a chance to intern with our firm for a period of one month.\n\nAll participants shall receive a participation certificate from the firm.\n\nWe encourage such participation from students of all educational institutes in the future."

"By Charles Brun: Eddie Hearn has revealed that he’s made an offer to Callum Johnson for him to face unbeaten light heavyweight contender Joshua Buatsi for a fight in December or early 2021. Hearn wants to get the 35-year-old Johnson (18-1, 13 KOs) out because he hasn’t fought in over a year.\n\nHearn acknowledges that Buatsi, 27, struggled against Calic, and he was less than impressive. He feels that Joshua needs to climb through the levels still before he challenges for a world title, and he sees Callum as the ideal opponents.\n\nEddie says that he views the Buatsi vs. Johnson fight as a 50-50 match after Joshua had to dig deep against Calic. Hearn is definitely not talking about accepting the offer from WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol to Buatsi, who would likely be overmatched against the Russian fighter.\n\n“It’s difficult when you’re selling a fight. Calic, we knew about his amateur background, and we knew he would come to fight. He was fantastic,” said Edie Hearn to IFL TV on Calic’s performance against Buatsi.\n\n“His footwork was excellent, shot selection was great, he was accurate, and he was tough as well. I heard from his trainer that it looks like he broke his cheekbone and his jaw.",
null,
"“That’s why at the end of the fight, when he went down, he was saying to his corner, ‘I can’t go on.’ The thing about Buatsi is, when he gets you hurt, he’s vicious. He had to come through a lot in that fight.\n\n“I think he might have busted his cheekbone at one stage in the fight. He looked terrible, and you could see he was uncomfortable. And then when he couldn’t see out of his right eye, Calic couldn’t miss him with a right hand.\n\n“It was good because Joshua had never had to dig deep in a pro fight. I’d rather see him do it now rather than for the first time in a major fight. So he passed that test, and you could see that he’s got heart.\n\n“He’s got a good chin, and we know he’s got the finishing ability to stop it when he stings you. Again, it was a great finish,” Hearn said.\n\nThat wasn’t a great effort from Buatsi, who looked like he was on his way to a defeat early on in the fight. It was lucky for the 2016 Olympian Buatsi that Calic wasn’t a big puncher because things could have gone badly for him.",
null,
"Eddie reveals an offer to Callum Johnson for Buatsi fight.\n\n“I think so, I’d like to make it,” said Hearn about a match between Buatsi and Callum Johnson. No but’s, really.\n\n“I’ve sent them [Team Johnson] an offer to fight Joshua Buatsi. I want to get Callum out ASAP, but sometimes with Joe Gallagher, it’ us against the world rather than work for Callum Johnson.\n\n“Give everybody a great fight and give them an opportunity and a load of money. So I want to speed it up. I’ve sent them an offer, and I want to hear their thoughts on the offer because I want to get Callum Johnson active.\n\n“He’s a fantastic fighter. By the way, off the performance, the other night, Joshua Buatsi vs. Callum Johnson is a 50-50 fight.\n\n“Callum Johnson is the one that has proven himself at the world level, really. Buatsi, a good win last Saturday, but I believe he has several more levels to go through. Callum Johnson is very, very dangerous.\n\n“I just want to get him going. He was out for a long time with an injury, and then he was supposed to fight in May. The pandemic canceled that. He must fight this year,” said Hearn about Callum.\n\nYou can understand perfectly why Callum and Gallagher wouldn’t want to take the fight with Buatsi. Callum would be used as a stepping stone type of opponent for Joshua, and that’s not a good move for him.\n\nAnd Callum is better off waiting to get a world title shot against IBF/WBC 175-lb champion Artur Beterbiev, WBA ‘regular’ champ Jean Pascal or WBA belt-holder Dmitry Bivol. Callum did well against Beterbiev early on October 2018 before getting stopped in the fourth round.",
null,
"Hearn wants Buatsi vs. Johnson in 2021\n\n“My recommendation is he fights this year, and then he goes straight into the Buatsi fight,” said Hearn about Callum. “I doubt that Buatsi will fight in December, but we’ll have to see. But get Callum Johnson out, and then let’s go, let’s do the fight.\n\n“It’s a brilliant fight for both. I’ve made the offer [to Team Johnson], and I’ll wait for the counter-offer and what they want to do. The option is for them to fight in November, and then go straight into the Buatsi fight or fight for the European title and then Buatsi.\n\n“I’m open to anything they want to do. Joe [Gallagher] sometimes goes into one of his modes on Twitter. ‘Oh, Callum this.’ We love Callum; he’s brilliant, let’s go. The plan [for Buatsi] was always to go in December, but we have to look at the eye. It’s not ideal.\n\n“Perhaps he won’t fight in December, but Callum hasn’t boxed in well over a year. So we’ll give him a fight in November and then go into Buatsi [in December] or whatever Callum wants to do.\n\n“I just want to get him active because one of the problems with Callum Johnson’s career is inactivity. It’s a great fight [Buatsi vs. Johnson], I’d love to make it. What a fight. There’s no excuse not to make that fight,” said Hearn.\n\nBuatsi’s left eye injury could make it difficult for him to return to the ring in December. Hearn is overlooking the potential of Buatsi needing more time to recover before he’s ready to get back in action.",
null,
"If Buatsi were to fight Callum in December, that eye could be an issue for him. It’s one thing for Buatsi to fight a non-puncher like Marko Calic with one eye, but it’s a whole nother kettle of fish to face a knockout artist like Callum with just one good eye."

"Series » Førbidden Topics\n3 of 13\nPrint Save for later\n\nThe 4 Phases of Addiction\n\nClass by:\nMike Mazzalongo\nIn this first of three sessions, Mike describes the biology and behavior of the individual who is in the process of becoming addicted to drugs of various kinds.\nMarch, 2021\n41:31\n7 minute read\nWatch\nYouTube Vimeo Rumble\nDownload\nVideo (720p) Audio (.mp3) Slides Notes\n\nIn the next three chapters we will be dealing with addictions in general. In this chapter I want to examine addictions from a physical and psychological perspective.\n\nIn subsequent chapters we'll see what the Bible says about addictions, their consequences and how God helps us avoid them or deal with them if they take hold on us. Hopefully, this information will give us both insight and warning about the power that various substances have to control and destroy our lives.\n\nIn the last several years there has been a lot of research done on the causes and effects of various addictions on humans. Using modern MRI technology scientists are able to see the actual reaction that the brain has when it is stimulated by various effects (like music or visual images) as well as chemicals (i.e. illegal drugs).",
null,
"In this type of research scientists have identified neural circuits that are involved in the interaction of the brain with every known illicit drug and have specified common pathways that are affected by such substances.\n\nThis means that all illegal drugs have a similar effect on the brain that can actually be seen in an x-ray. You can put up the view of an MRI (x-ray) of a non-drug user's brain next to that of an addict and can easily tell the difference. Researchers are now able to indicate elements that are common to all addictions regardless of the substance used. This has led many scientists (including Dr. Alan Leshner, former Director of the National Drug Institute in the U.S.) to declare that \"drug addiction is a brain disease.\"\n\nFrom a Biblical perspective, we can expect that many things that are considered sinful such as immoral sex, drunkenness, pride etc. can easily evolve to a point where they incapacitate the body as illness. For example:\n\nThese few examples demonstrate that we have to be very careful when we label something as sinful.\n\nIn this first section, therefore, we will study addictions as diseases, and in the next we'll examine the pathways that often lead to addiction and what the Bible says about these.\n\nHow We Become Addicted\n\nPart of the research on addiction is charting the common elements that lead to all addictions. Here are the four phases in the progression of addiction.\n\nWhen it comes to addiction, learning is accomplished experientially, not intellectually. Addiction is learned instinctively, intuitively, spontaneously and naturally. And so, we become addicted to something using our instincts, intuition and natural feelings. The first phase in addiction, therefore, is that we \"learn\" certain things:\n\nA. We learn that certain chemicals produce euphoria.\n\nEuphoria is a \"feeling\" of some kind that changes our state of mind.\n\nThis is where the MRI's come in. They can track which part of the brain is being affected by the substance a person is taking and how the brain is reacting. In the MRI below, the dots represent the chemical THC found in cannabis products. We note that the THC is spreading to different parts of the brain affecting both sensory and motor skills.",
null,
"B. We learn that the degree of euphoria is determined by the quantity ingested.\n\nWe learn to trust chemicals and their effects because they work every time. It doesn't always happen the first time we try a substance but with repeated use we eventually \"learn\" (intuitively, naturally) this lesson.\n\nThis is what Phase #1 looks like on a chart.\n\nThe meds that you take when in legitimate pain do not become addictive if you stop using them when the pain stops. People become addicted to pain killers because when they return to \"normal\" they begin to use them to create euphoria instead of going from pain to normal. As long as the medication takes you from pain to normal you're not learning addiction – this is why you should take your pain medications regularly when sick or injured.\n\nOnce you've \"learned\" to trust chemicals to change your mood, you have moved to the second phase of addictions where you are now actively seeking the mood swing. This phase has its own progress:\n\nThis is Phase #2 on the chart. Note that it looks like #1 because it is reinforcing the lesson \"learned\" in Phase #1 – this \"works\" for me.\n\nThere's no time frame between Phase #2 and Phase #3. Events, our own character or the repetition of our consumption eventually lead to Phase #3. You know you're there because like Phase #1 and #2, Phase #3 has its own markers which include:\n\nThe chart for Phase #3 shows that the user has shifted his \"normal\" state from normal to pain. There is pain without chemicals so the pattern now begins at pain, moves to Euphoria and then back to pain not normalcy. There is pain and a high with a stop at normal. This is the point where you're losing your job, family and friends because of your dependency.\n\nThis is a chart for Phase #4. Note there is no euphoria, only pain and a false normalcy. According to research on the subject, addiction is the final step in a process where one \"learns\" to use various substances in order to affect the brain in altering one's perception of reality, or what is \"normal.\"\n\nPeople who are addicted change their activities and their personalities. For example, things like:\n\nDiscouraging as these traits may be, those who work with addicts and study their behavior say that many of these personality characteristics and activities are caused by a person's use of drugs. The good news is that these traits can be reversed with the withdrawal from chemical abuse.\n\nThis has been a brief introduction to the subject of addiction: What causes it; How it progresses; What effects it has on us. In the next chapter we will examine why people begin to abuse chemicals, what the Bible says about this issue and how to both avoid and recover from addiction.\n\naddictionscopinghabitsaddictiondrugsalcohol\nHelp keep our materials free and allow us to produce more biblical content.\nSupport this Ministry\nWant to be notified whenever new material is added?\nSubscribe by Email\nI thoroughly enjoyed the study of Genesis and learned so much that can be practically applied.

"The Iranian media earlier quoted the Revolutionary Guard Corps as saying that Tehran had been able to foil a \"regional plot\" to eliminate Soleimani and the three suspects in the alleged plot had been arrested on Thursday.\n\nQasem Soleimani (Photo: AP)\nAccording to the reports, the information was revealed during an annual leadership meeting by Hossein Taeb, head of the IRGC Intelligence Organization, adding that the planning of the alleged conspiracy had taken \"several years.\"\n\nThe site was established in memory of Soleimani's father, who died in 2017, indicating that the assassination attempt occurred sometime in the past two years.\n\nAccording to Iranian reports, the assassination was set to take place during the days commemorating Fatimah bint Muhammad - one of five children fathered by Prophet Mohammed - usually held in late February/early March.\n\nThe suspects allegedly buried 500kg explosives in the tunnel under the site where the ceremony was due to take place and planned to blow up the device when Soleimani arrived to the location for his father's memorial service.\n\nThe identities and nationalities of the suspected conspirators remains unclear.\n\nIn a rare interview on Tuesday, Soleimani revealed that Israel came very close to killing him and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during the Second Lebanon War.\n\nDaniel Salami contributed to this report"

"This is a beautiful polished section of Archean stromatolites (Alcheringa narrina) that was collected from Bea Bea Creek in Pilbara, Australia. These Archean stromatolites have been dated at roughly 2.7 billion years old. Small pyrite crystal formations can be found peppered throughout the specimen. It has been polished to a mirror finish on one side with the rest of the specimen being left in its rough form. Comes with an acrylic display stand.\n\nThe mineral pyrite or iron pyrite is commonly referred to as Fool's Gold because its metallic luster and pale brass-yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold. In the old mining days, pyrite was sometimes mistaken for gold. Pyrite is the most common of the sulfide minerals with the chemical formula FeS2. Pyrite crystals occur in many shapes and habits, including cubes of all sizes, penetration twin cubes, pyritohedral clusters and as small druzy crystals that can exhibit a beautiful glistening effect.\nSOLD\nDETAILS\nSPECIES\nAlcheringa narrina\nAGE\nArchean (~2.7 Billion years)",

"Irv Gotti once attempted to form a supergroup with Ja Rule, DMX and JAY-Z, but it fell apart before they could record an entire project together.\n\nJa Rule, JAY-Z and DMX cemented their names in New York rap’s scene with their thriving solo careers, but the trio also had the potential to garner success as a supergroup. In a recent interview with HipHopDX, the “Mesmerize” rapper discussed Irv Gotti’s attempts at creating the group and the reasons it all fell through before they were able to complete an entire project.\n\nAccording to the Pain is Love star, Gotti tried to bring the members of the group together without a conversation, but getting DMX and JAY-Z — who previously feuded in the early 90s — in the studio at the same time was easier said than done.",

"“Nobody was really — JAY and X fucking, you couldn’t get them in the same room together!” he said. “I didn’t give a fuck. I was the new artist, I was just coming out, so that was an honor for me to be able to walk with those dudes, but for me, it was different because I’d known them for so long. I’d known them before they were who they were and it was like, ‘Okay, I’m rhyming with my partners. My homies.’”\n\nThe “Livin It Up” emcee expressed that Gotti was determined to make things work and eventually found ways to finesse an album with the trio. He said, “Irv was kind of just doubling down on shit like, ‘I got JAY on this record, I’m going to sneak and let X get on the record and then, ‘Yo, Rule.’ It was that type of shit. So, the XXL cover, that shit came about the same type of way.”",

"Unfortunately, despite the Murder Inc. CEO’s efforts, the group saw their demise before they could record a full length project together — a failure Rule actually thinks worked out in his favor.\n\n“I think about it now and I’m like, ‘damn, I was the low man on that totem pole,’ so if I would’ve did it, that would’ve been my career,” he began. “Everybody would’ve always talked about how I came in on that and every hit record I would’ve made after that would’ve been, ‘Well, it’s because … you know, he’s part of Murder Inc. How did he not blow up after that?’ I was kind of happy I was able to make my own bones, and then if they wanted to come back and do it and put it together, it would’ve been dope.”"

"The world is gripped by fear over the covid 19 virus or the coronavirus as its better known, as we are all too aware the danger of a global pandemic seems to be here, something which I am sorry to say, looks unstoppable.\nIn the light of this scary news much misinformation and lies have been spread and I have noticed a real lack of knowledge from many when it comes to viruses.\nThis ‘as is often the case’ sent me searching out information and I came upon two interesting articles, one an Ancient Mystery Viruses Discovered Sealed within Tibetan Glacier for over 15,000 Years, the other about Viruses being a major driver of human evolution.",

"So what defines a virus, a virus is classified as a microscopic parasite, generally much smaller than bacteria. They lack the capacity to thrive and reproduce outside of a host body. Viruses are feared for their ability to spread, epidemics and pandemics have been global killers that humanity has struggled to contain.\nThe 2014 outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, and the 2009 H1N1/swine flu pandemic are now looking a lot less scary as the threat of a new coronavirus looms over the world.\nBut viruses are neither good nor bad they have been invaluable to research and curing many diseases, it is often a surprise mutation or a reemergence of an old virus that causes us problems.\nThis because people have yet to build immunity and a cure may not be at hand.\nThat is why a recent discovery could be a worry, if covid 19 proves to be less of a disaster than predicted science may discover that the next global outbreak comes from the rediscovery of a killer.\nThis is why, when I read stories like Scientists discovering 28 new groups of ancient viruses in a state of hibernation buried deep within ice, I start to worry!\nThese viruses found inside the cores of a 15,000-year-old Guliya ice cap on the Tibetan Plateau.\nA recently published paper available on bioRxiv, details a study which reveals that researchers contaminating samples of viruses is not difficult. So in this case, scientists employed a new method to study the microbes preserved within the ice. This for ultraclean microbial and viral sampling, according to LiveScience.\nThey used their established techniques to inspect the two ice core samples from the Tibetan glaciers taking great care against contamination. The methods that they used ensured that although the exteriors were contaminated the cores of the samples were still in an untouched condition.\nThese ice cores providing a window back through time, the gases and other elements trapped in the ice could be used to learn about many environmental factors and changes along with biological material captured, biological material like the viruses.\nThe team gradually removed the outer layers of ice using various methods this granting them access to the samples contained.\nWorking In a cold room which was kept at a crisp -5°C, researchers used a sterilized band saw to cut a layer of the ice, this then followed by pouring ethanol over the cores to melt another layer and then a wash with sterilized water to remove yet another layer.\nWorking through these layers removed a total of 1.5 centimeters of ice and revealed the uncontaminated layer beneath. This is where the researchers found 33 groups of virus genera of which, 28 were previously not known to researchers.\nThe microbes which were found in each ice core differed indicating that they were stored at different periods of time with differing climate conditions.\nThese microbes were extracted in controlled conditions, but there is a real possibility that climate warming could melt ice and release a virus that has been safely locked away for millennia.\nIn a worst-case scenario, this ice melt could let loose a harmful pathogen into today’s warm environment.\nThese Viruses although dangerous, causing both harm and death, are an important part of the ecosystem on the planet and even drive evolution.\nIn a recent research program scientist applied data analysis to viruses and mapped their effect on the evolution of humans and other mammals. They uncovered that around 30 percent of protein adaptations in humans are different from chimps and this is down to the different viruses that infect each species.\nThe study's first author David Enard, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University said\n\"When you have a pandemic or an epidemic at some point in evolution, the population that is targeted by the virus either adapts, or goes extinct. We knew that, but what really surprised us is the strength and clarity of the pattern we found, this is the first time that viruses have been shown to have such a strong impact on adaptation.\"\nProteins carrying out a range of functions that help keep cells working properly. The research also revealed how the small changes in protein shape have helped mammals and human evolve responses to viral threats.\nDoctors Dmitri Petrov and Michelle and Kevin Douglas added\n\"We're learning which parts of the cell have been used to fight viruses in the past, presumably without detrimental effects on the organism that should give us an insight on the pressure points and help us find proteins to investigate for new therapies.\"\nCould this help us today with the fight against covid 19\nResults of testing shone a light on cell adaptation and the frequency at which it occurs.\n\n\"We're all interested in how it is that we and other organisms have evolved, and in the pressures that made us what we are,\"\nSaid Dr. Petrov.\n\"The discovery that this constant battle with viruses has shaped us in every aspect—not just the few proteins that fight infections, but everything—is profound. All organisms have been living with viruses for billions of years; this work shows that those interactions have affected every part of the cell.\"\nWhen a virus invades a host it begins to replicate and spread, the rate at which it replicates varies from virus to virus. The attack from the virus forces cells to change and adapt this battle with in our bodies drives evolution, some would say faster than outside influences like the environment or predation. Although the former rarely applies to us today.\nThe team has moved on with their research and are now digging deep into past viral epidemics, they are on the hunt for clues and cures for today’s viral infections.\nThey fight the constant war with viruses—and research the ways we might win over a new or reemerging viral plague.\nIf we think of this research as a war, then some would say that these viruses are actually an invading alien army.\nThere is the idea that viruses come from the stars. I have looked at in the video linked above, the idea is part of the field of astrobiology, but should we have researchers dedicated to the field of astrovirology?\nAccording to an article published in the February 2018 issue of Astrobiology, Scientist argued that it's time for astronomers to broaden the search for life in space to include viruses.\nExperts have said;\n“More than a century has passed since the discovery of the first viruses, entering the second century of virology, we can finally start focusing beyond our own planet.”\nThere are 10 to 100 times more viruses on Earth than there are of any other cellular organism, this could also hold true for other planets and moons in our universe.\nFurthermore, many researchers suspect that viruses played a major role in the creation of life. According to a report from the American Academy of Microbiology, “Without viruses, life on Earth would be very different, or perhaps there would be no life at all.”\n“In a published scientific paper it was written “That the hope is to inspire integration of virus research into astrobiology and also point out pressing unanswered questions in astrovirology, particularly regarding the detection of virus biosignatures and whether viruses could be spread extraterrestrially.”\nThis could also bring us back to the finding of cures and our evolution could viruses we find in space offer us cures to viruses her on our planet, or could they be the source of another pandemic.\nOne thing is true and that is if we are not looking we won’t find anything\n\nSo what do you think?\nAre we facing a global killer or is this hyped situation being taken advantage of by governments around the planet?\nLet me know what you think in the comments below."

"The Tarrasque is a mythical behemoth of epic proportions. Known throughout the world of the mythological as one of the few singular beasts of recorded history the Tarrasque has rampaged over many-a-realm and has now found its way to Phantasia.\n\nThe Tarrasque is a singular monster that can NOT be summoned by summoning scrolls, it instead must be found through some detective work of any character who wishes to challenge the beast to combat. The monster does not stray too far from civilization, and it is rumored that even the hardy merchants flee when this monster is near.\n\nThe Tarrasque is an incredibly hardy beast, known to shrug blows from even the sharpest of weapons, resist the efforts of the most powerful of magicians, and even overpower those modes of death that would seem to be impossible to evade. Born of the magic of the greatest wizards and gods alike the Tarrasque cannot truly be slain, only disabled for some time until it heals. It is rumored that the Tarrasque can only truly be slain by rendering it unconscious, and then using a wishing spell to wish it to actually die. Seeing as there are no wishing spells within the Phantasia realm, the Tarrasque is going to be active for quite some time."

"Mushrooms…people seem to either love them or hate them. While I fall on the “love them” side of the spectrum, I can understand why they’re so polarizing…After all, the idea of eating fungi may not appeal to everyone.\n\nBut here’s the thing. Most people make their final decisions about all mushrooms after trying the most basic type—the white button mushroom, which accounts for 90% of the mushrooms consumed. In reality though, more than 10,000 known species of mushrooms exist. And experts believe that’s only a fraction of what’s actually out there.\n\nMost of them—about 70%—are either inedible or will make you very sick if eaten. That leaves the remaining roughly 30%, of which about 25% are edible but bland or tasteless. But the 5% left are simply incredible…if not for taste, then for their health benefits!\n\nMushrooms Have Been Used Medicinally for Thousands of Years\n\nMushrooms have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine, dating all the way back to ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who identified the amadou mushroom as an anti-inflammatory wound healer. The Romans called mushrooms “food of the gods,” and the Chinese believed them to be an “elixir of life.” Even Ötzi, the Ice Man who lived well over 5,000 years ago, carried amadou and other mushrooms in the Alps to help him survive.\n\nOur ancestors obviously knew about the powers associated with different mushrooms. Modern medicine has taken a little longer to catch on. Today, though, more and more research has begun to acknowledge the medicinal compounds in mushrooms.\n\nFirst and foremost, as a food, mushrooms are low in calories, carbs, fat, and sodium. Most of them are also good sources of selenium, potassium, B vitamins, protein, and fiber.\n\nBut from a therapeutic standpoint, what really makes mushrooms shine is their robust levels of polyphenols, carotenoids, indoles, and polysaccharides. All of these compounds contribute to mushrooms’ immune-boosting, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects.\n\nSome mushrooms even have adaptogenic qualities. This means they protect the body against the effects of stress, and help you more effectively deal with stress by getting your body back into homeostatic balance.\n\nEven so, you won’t find many Western doctors recommending that you add more mushrooms to your diet. This is a shame, because the research on several species is really promising.\n\nHere’s a look beyond your standard grocery store fare (white button, baby bella, portabella, oyster, etc.), at some of the most therapeutically powerful mushrooms.\n\nShiitake mushrooms are the second most commonly consumed mushroom, after white buttons. They have a meaty texture, making them a perfect addition to stews, stir-fries, soups, and meat-based dishes.\n\nEspecially now, with cold, flu and covid viruses raging across the country, adding shiitakes to your diet can help boost your immune function and safeguard against illness. In one study, researchers examined the effects of eating shiitake mushrooms for 4 weeks. They found that the mushroom eaters experienced improved gut immunity and lower inflammation, both of which contributed to better overall immunity.\n\nMaitake mushrooms are native to China but grow in parts of North America too. Their delicate texture and earthy flavor make them perfect for most dishes, from stir-fries to soups.\n\nAlong with their adaptogenic qualities, maitake mushrooms help lower cholesterol, protect and boost immunity, and even treat conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. In a study of women with this condition, researchers found that those who took maitake extract had a greater chance of ovulation.\n\nSome research has even shown that maitake mushrooms can control blood sugar and insulin levels. Researchers concluded that maitake can influence glucose and insulin metabolism in insulin-resistant mice, primarily by enhancing insulin sensitivity.\n\nIf lack of energy is something that plagues you, cordyceps may be the mushroom for you. Research has shown this variety can enhance blood flow, energy, and endurance, which promotes better exercise tolerance/performance, and stronger libido.\n\nA review of cordyceps for sexual drive and performance found that, overwhelmingly, this fungus can restore impaired reproductive functions such as impotency and infertility. In one of the studies, men who supplemented with a cordyceps product saw their sexual desire increase 66%. Another study reported an 86% improvement in libido in women.\n\nAs an adaptogen, cordyceps have been shown to balance cortisol (stress hormone) levels by stimulating adrenal gland function. This has a positive effect on not only your energy levels, but also how well you respond to stressful situations.\n\nBelieve it or not, chaga mushrooms are invasive cancers that grow on birch trees. After many years, they tend to kill their hosts. But while birch trees should dread chagas, they have quite the opposite effect on people, actually protecting against cancer.\n\nFor one, chagas are very high in antioxidants, making them great for fighting inflammation, inflammatory diseases like cancer, oxidative damage, and the effects of aging. More importantly, they contain beetulinic acid, another compound known for its anti-cancer properties. Beetulinic acid is actually found in birch trees. The mushroom absorbs it from the tree as it grows on it.\n\nIn studies using tumor cell lines, extracts from chaga mushrooms have been shown to inhibit cancers cells in several areas, including the digestive tract, lung, cervix, and liver.\n\nChagas have also been used traditionally to treat gastrointestinal diseases and viral and parasitic infections, thanks to compounds known to stimulate the immune system. Current research shows promise in diabetes as well.\n\nLion’s mane mushrooms’ claim to fame is their beneficial neurological effects: enhancing cognitive function, mental clarity, concentration, and more! It does this by encouraging the production of nerve growth factor (proteins responsible for maintenance, survival, and regeneration of neurons) and myelin (which insulates nerve fibers). Both are crucial in maintaining a healthy brain.\n\nIn a study of 50- to 80-year-olds with mild cognitive impairment, those who took a lion’s mane supplement for 16 weeks showed significantly increased scores on cognitive function assessments compared to the placebo group.\n\nHow to Reap the Benefits of Mushrooms\n\nIf you’re a fan of mushrooms, the most fun and delicious way to reap their benefits is to…eat more mushrooms! I share a couple of easy recipes below that you may want to try. Get creative with the mushrooms you cook with.\n\nThe best places to buy fresh wild mushrooms are farmer’s markets or specialty grocers. If you don’t have easy access to either, check online for mushroom sellers that can ship interesting varieties straight to your door.\n\nIf you’re not a mushroom lover, and I haven’t been able to convince you otherwise—or if you’re hoping for truly therapeutic effects—you’re still in luck. Over-the-counter supplements are readily available, and they come in various forms. In addition to capsules, mushroom extracts come in the form of bulk powder that you can mix with juice, milk or water; liquid/tincture that you can simply drop onto your tongue; and even teas that you can brew. Check your local health food store or reputable online retailers. I personally like to mix mixed mushroom powder with gut-strengthening bone broth for even greater health benefits!\n\nWhile the mushrooms I discussed here are generally safe, there are some caveats. A few of them may interact with certain medications and/or are contraindicated with some health conditions. Be sure to read the label carefully, and always discuss their use with your doctor—especially if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking medications daily.\n\n*Note: the recipes below contain links to products sold by Vervana, a fine food company I founded and co-own.\n\nPreheat oven to 400°. Toss mushrooms, peppers, and onions with the oil, lime juice, salt, and spices in a bowl until the vegetables are coated. Spread the veggies out in on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast 20 minutes or until golden brown.\n\nBuild each tortilla with mushroom and pepper mixture, then add toppings: guac, spinach, etc. If you like, squeeze lime juice over everything as a final Vitamin C-packed finishing touch.\n\nHeat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, until golden. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.",

"The revenge genre has experienced a small renaissance of late with films like Taken and John Wick portraying purposeful and expert killers running roughshod through those who have wronged them in some way. The audience is generally encouraged to recognize the protagonist’s ability, and celebrate his or her violence. The low-budget film Blue Ruin, from director Jeremy Saulnier, turns this dynamic on its head by providing us with an everyman thrust into a revenge situation. The resulting story arc follows familiar beats, but the unique perspective infuses this stark film with a beauty and realism that is rarely approached in this exploitative genre.\n\nThe film opens on Dwight, played by Macon Blair, who is unkempt, scrounging through the garbage for food, and living out of his car. Without any real context or dialogue, we are forced into simply feeling sorry for Dwight, especially when a police car drives up to the car while he is sleeping inside of it. I immediately thought that some hard-ass officer was going to be extra hard on Dwight for no reason, but instead it was an old friend of his. She took him in to give him the bad news: the man convicted of killing his mother and father has been released on parole.\n\nThe context for Dwight’s life snaps into focus. He has clearly been devastated by the loss of his parents, and simply never recovered. However, where before he was simply a wanderer without purpose, this new development has given him something to focus on: retribution. He attempts to buy a gun, but can’t afford it, and doesn’t have enough to trade. He does manage to steal a knife, though, and effects his plan for revenge by driving to the prison. He has to stalk his parents’ killer to a party that the family is throwing in celebration of the release, and it is at this party that Dwight chooses to enact his plan.\n\nThe resulting film is essentially a deconstructed revenge thriller, where each particular element can be drawn out and analyzed alone. We get to see Dwight’s raw hatred boil over, but also see his fear consume and paralyze him. We get to see him make smart, strategic decisions to forward his plan – only to be foiled by a clear mistake or poor execution. These tensions paint a challenging picture of how an actual revenge plot may play out when the burden of action falls to someone like you or me; someone who doesn’t have a particular set of skills. Everything in Blue Ruin, from the pacing to the cinematography to the performances is in service of grounding the revenge in reality, but it is in no sense a naturalistic film like Boyhood. It is a raw but romantic view of a man who makes a hard choice. Thankfully, it never devolves into excess or exploitation, and it completely succeeds thanks to such restraint.\n\nWatch the Trailer for Blue Ruin below, and check out the full film on these platforms."

"I blacked out my websites. Here’s why.\n\nThe Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act was dodgy enough that I joined in the protest. Read more about why.",
null,
"On Monday 22 April 2013 there was an international call for owners of parts of the web – large and small – to black out their websites. The black out was in support of the Stop CISPA campaign.\n\nFor those who are unaware, CISPA stands for Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act.\n\nGiven that I like to consider myself as a bit of a freedom fighter and internet defender – hell, I have the badge on the site! – I figured why not. The greatest threat to us in the 21st Century is to our information and our freedoms to. If you have read A Handmaid’s Tale, you will understand; if not, this post will await your return.\n\nNow, you might be wondering why an Australian blogger decided to join in the protest against a bill in a senate in another country. It seems a bit odd?\n\nWell, it does a bit; until you consider that the US believes that it is the only government that ought to have access to your information. Everything you post online already gets archived by the US Library of Congress; this takes things one step further.\n\nHere are a few other points (taken from the EFF) that caused me enough concern to spur me into action:\n\nAnd additionally, a last-minute amendment that would have blocked employers from obtaining your private passwords to things like Facebook was squished. Well done!\n\nOf course, the other point is that I am not a US citizen, and object to one bully country enforcing its shitty agenda on me, when I live halfway across the world.\n\nThe whole world is not the United States, and we should not be subjected to their whimsy.\n\nYeah I’m a rebel at heart, but only when the Common Good is endangered. This was enough reason for me to black my sites out. It is disappointing that\n\n1 thought on “I blacked out my websites. Here’s why.”"

"Antifa hostile to the Bill of Rights\n\nThe ANTIFA movement has issued a declaration of war on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Let’s look at each element of the first two amendments and see how Antifa has proceeded to date:\n\nAgainst Freedom of Religion: Mainly underreported is that Antifa has disrupted and threatened to attack Christian events. Recently, Antifa threatened a Catholic Men’s Conference in Michigan. Within the past few days, vandals, most like Antifa members, defaced the statue of St. Junipero Serra across from Mission San Fernando in California.\n\nAgainst Freedom of Speech: Antifa has shut down conservative speakers on campuses around the country. The Antifa violence at the University of California Berkeley is very well documented. Often, because of the fear of such violence, college administrations impose exceptional security requirements on those organizations that invite conservatives to speak. This permits a left biased “heckler’s veto” to dominate events.\n\nAgainst Freedom of the Press: The Antifa propaganda has been accommodated by the leftist press. CNN and MSNBC, among other news organizations, have interviewed members of this violence prone organization and have tended to favorably report on or excuse them. (CNN revised the title of an Antifa expose’, eliminating the phrase “seeking peace through violence”. Antifa objected and threatened violence against CNN if this was not done). Not surprisingly, many Democrat Party representatives excuse the Antifa actions and blame everything on President Trump and his supporters.\n\nAgainst Freedom of Assembly: During the run up to the presidential election, Antifa struck with violence against Trump supporters. Most notable in this regard was the violence in Chicago but similar violent incidents occurred in Blue States wherever Trump supporters tried to rally. These disruptions have also focused on “Freedom of Speech” events around the country. The Antifa threats caused cancellations of such events.\n\nAgainst the Right of Self-Defense: Antifa invariably attacks the police. As seen in Charlottesville, the police give way either to protect themselves or under orders not to intervene. As seen in Boston, when police try to separate opposing sides, they end up being assaulted or injured by rocks, bottles, sticks, urine, and feces. Antifa comes prepared to fight opponents even when neo-Nazis are not present. This violent intention has led opponents of Antifa to come armed as well. The likelihood of injury and death increases with every incident.\n\nThe Constitution is what makes us Americans. The Bill of Rights is what gives us our freedoms. Antifa is a direct and deadly threat to both.\n\nAntifa hostile to the Bill of Rights was last modified: August 23rd, 2017 by Dr. Robert Warren\n\nAntifa is going to rock this Nation.\nAnd beating down the Dumba$$es on the alt white is something that should have started in 16.\nThe Fat Bastard is going down in flames. And the right is to ate up to know what to do.\nActually, beating the sh¡t out of dummies dressed in plastic Power Rangers outfits, sounds like a great weekend!\n\nAntifa? Righto! That’s the biggest threat we face, apparently, or at least the only issue discussed here, fiddling while Rome burns.\n\nIt’s a distraction. Of course we oppose violence and lawlessness. Arrest the perpetrators! We have police for that, but stay focused on the killing and the maiming, right? Or do you leave that to the left?\n\n1. Bank Runs Dry: Our government is running out of money while POTUS drains the budget. Took over with $350 billion in the bank, and that’s close to gone, $85b remaining with a $70b military pension payment due 29 Sep. Solution proposed is printing more cash and building a wall POTUS swore the Mexicans would fund.\n\n2. Health Insurance Disappearing: Some Virginians are about to lose access to any health insurance at all thanks to POTUS failing to meet ACA promised payments to insurers. Of course they’re pulling out of markets! POTUS will not meet the committed funds to cover losses, totally by Republican design.\n\n3. Russian Interference with Elections: Good conservative prosecutors have raised the alarm: There is clear evidence of Russian attempts to interfere with otherwise free elections. Where will Mueller go? That shoe is dropping every day, but little discussion because … well, antifa? Anti-fascists? Arrest them and move on. Charge them with their crimes.\n\nWhy continue this list? Isn’t there a government to run? But, no, antifa … antifa … Warmac9999 says the killer didn’t kill as many as he coulda, antifa, and he says if you watch Death Wish and learn from bernie Goetz and study the OJ trial … antifa … antifa … SNORT! those were no assault rifles!\n\nYou fiddle while Rome burns. Oh, and meanwhile POTUS hopes and prays for war hero John McCain’s death, dumping on Republican Senators Flake, McConnell, even his buddy Paul Ryan. Has he no sense of shame?\n\nWhat a pile of snowflakes. Arrest the miscreants and please, run the government.\n\nYou are not a republican and have admitted as such. Your consistent refusal to condemn antifa activities or blame shift makes you a leftist and likely a perfect antifa.\n\nI condemn violence and law-breaking from any POV and specifically call for the investigation, arrest, prosecution and long sentencing of Antifa. Make it happen, but stop talking about it as a substitute for doing something about it. Otherwise its fake news and a distraction from the problems at hand.\n\nI am not your kind of Republican. Indeed, I find both parties lacking. I am conservative, however. I’ve voted for many Republicans. How many Republican parties are there? Which one ought I support?\n\nIf sycophantic support for any of the many Republican parties — and they are a very divided bunch — is a criteria for TBE involvement, no one will be allowed to post here. No one. This place has opened my eyes to the origin of anti-Republican unity attacks.\n\nYou have met the enemy and it is you.\n\nYou refuse to define yourself. Claiming to be a conservative is really quite a stretch. You are more in the anarchist libertarian camp and, today, that is antifa in general.\n\nCan you not walk and chew gum at the same time? Yes, some of what you mentioned are issues, but Antifa and the similar groups are also a legitimate concern. Perhaps you should do some research on said groups before dismissing concerns.\n\nAnd while I agree with you about our overspending, healthcare, etc., you wrote as though these are all the fault of POTUS. The last POTUS doubled the debt, and put us on the path to far more debt with the ACA. And the ACA was already imploding prior to Trump’s election because of it’s very design.\n\nRussia has attempted to interfere in our elections for years (just as we interfere in theirs). We knew about this in prior elections, and in this one long before election day. Why was this only news after Trump was elected?\n\nOh, now you are full of insults. Fine. It will be reciprocated.\n\nAre you too stupid to read the law and determine who is responsible for the budget? Or did you fail civics? How did POTUS do that by himself? Perhaps you should do some research.\n\nYou are soft on Russia. You might be a Russian. How would we know when you have a fake profile?\n\nHow did POTUS do that by himself?\n\nNow that’s an excellent question, and is exactly the point I was making. However, in your original comment, you claimed POTUS was responsible for everything. Do you change your position, just for the sake of arguing?\n\nIf a private profile makes me Russian, then you are clearly a Russian as well.\n\nNo, I look for inconsistencies, amongst other things, and that one is glaring.\n\nWe’re both Russians! Welcome, comrade! Russian cats are the best!\n\n“Inconsistencies” is not specific. What exactly do you believe? Which of the two stances you’ve taken is what you truly believe? Do you have any core values?\n\nAbout this I am curious because I do not recall saying POTUS “was responsible for everything.” I do now believe Republicans own the federal government, controlling as they do both house of congress and the White House.\n\nPOTUS has continued to spend, spend, spend like a teen with a credit card. Build a wall, for example, or draining the Secret Service budget. It seems irresponsible. Why not actually cut back day one and not seek a debt limit raise? Now that would impress me, but the opposite is happening. And to think tax cuts are on the table while spending is on the rise seems completely irresponsible, cart before the horse.\n\nIf you want to see your own words, just follow the thread above.\n\nI disagree that POTUS has continued to spend, spend, spend as badly as prior presidents. More than I wish, yes. More than others, absolutely not. Everywhere that he has proposed budget cuts, he seems to get criticized. Spending less also means that some agencies will be cut back. The State Department is one agency that he has cut. He’s enacted a hiring freeze for most agencies; he’s cut other agencies as well. He wants cuts to the ACA payments to insurance companies, but there’s an uproar over that too.\n\nYou cannot only cut discretionary spending. We must also cut entitlements, and healthcare in particular. The Medicare age will have to be raised; the expanded Medicaid that the ACA created will have to go. At a time when we already had budget issues and debt, Obama expanded Medicaid by quite a bit, which is unaffordable. Unfortunately, we will need to offer Medicaid only to those who were previously eligible. Offering Medicaid to the middle class is unaffordable.\n\nThe tax cuts are intended to stimulate the economy, which would result in increased revenue. If businesses grow, more sales mean more tax payments; growth in business means more employees who then pay more taxes. It’s a cycle that actually does increase revenue to the federal government, although it’s unlikely in the first year. However, you cannot avoid tax reform because of a temporary deficit. Tax reform is needed for simplification as well as to stimulate the economy.\n\nYou complain that POTUS is spending too much, but then complain that he’s cutting payments to insurance companies – all in the same post. If we are going to cut spending, it has to come from somewhere, and you aren’t always going to like where the cuts are made. Someone will ALWAYS complain about budget cuts. I suspect it will be you."

"Homophobia, the CEI against a new law: “No use. Beware of liberticide drifts”\n\nVATICAN CITY – The Italian bishops intervene against the texts of the law onomotransfobia, presented to the House and which should be voted on in July. In a short note entitled “The bishops against all discrimination”, the prelates say in no uncertain terms that “a new law is not needed”.\nPolicy\n\nThey quote Francesco who said: “Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost”. Words, they explain, that want to offside any type of racism or exclusion as well as any violent reaction, destined to prove itself self-destructive.\n“Discriminations – including those based on sexual orientation – constitute a violation of human dignity, which – as such – must always be respected in words, actions and legislation. Harmful treatments, threats, aggressions, injuries, bullying , stalking … are as many forms of attack on the sacredness of human life and must therefore be contrasted in no uncertain terms “.\n\nBut the bishops believe that in this regard, “an objective examination of the provisions for the protection of the person, contained in the legal system of our country, leads to the conclusion that there are already adequate safeguards with which to prevent and repress any violent or persecutory behavior”.\n\nAnd the Church asks for “pastoral attention” to homosexual unions\n\nFor this reason, the Church looks “with concern at the bills currently under examination at the Justice Commission of the Chamber of Deputies against homotransphobia crimes: also for these areas not only is there no regulatory vacuum, but also gaps that justify the urgency of new provisions.\n\nRead Also: Mayer is also the top favorite in the \"Sprint Downhill\" «kleinezeitung.at\n\nOn the contrary, a possible introduction of further incriminating norms would risk opening up liberticide drifts, so that – rather than sanctioning discrimination – it would end up hitting the expression of a legitimate opinion, as taught by the experience of the legal systems of other Nations to which domestic similar standards have already been introduced.\n\nFor example, subjecting to criminal proceedings those who believe that the family requires a dad and a mother to be such – and not the duplication of the same figure – would mean introducing a crime of opinion. This effectively limits personal freedom, educational choices, the way of thinking and being, the exercise of criticism and dissent “.\n\nPope Francis to a homosexual: “God created you this way and loves you as you are”\n\nAnd again: “We firmly believe that, in addition to carefully applying the provisions already in force, we must first of all promote the educational commitment in the direction of serious prevention, which contributes to warding off and countering any offense against the person. reciprocal controversies or excommunications, but availability to an authentic and intellectually honest confrontation “.\n\nFirst irritated reactions from the world of politics: “I am very surprised – she says Francesca Businarolo President of the Chamber Justice Commission, M5S deputy – from the reaction of the bishops against the law on homotransphobia that we are discussing in committee. To affirm, as the Italian bishops do, that adequate safeguards already exist to combat this phenomenon means not wanting to take note of a harsh reality of discrimination against which we feel the political and ethical responsibility to intervene “.\n\nRead Also: Did you know this service from dm? Drugstore giant is breaking new ground\n\nThe speaker of the law also replies, Alessandro ZanDemocratic Party MP: “The criticisms of the CEI Presidency for the law against homotransphobia, whose unified text has not yet been deposited and on which we are still working, are surprising. I repeat, it will not be extended to sexual orientation and identity gender the crime of ‘propaganda of ideas’ as today is foreseen by the art. 604 bis of the penal code for ethnic and racial hatred. So no limitation of the freedom of expression or censorship or gag as I have heard these days out of turn “.\n\n“The CEI observations – he declares Carolina Varchi, FdI group leader in the House Justice Committee – hit the mark because there is no regulatory vacuum to fill: our system, in fact, already provides for the necessary possibility to sanction any discriminatory attitude “.\n\n“Rather – he continues – it is surprising that once again my colleague Businarolo abandons her institutional role as president of the House Justice Commission, to take the field with her team’s jersey, not guaranteeing the necessary impartiality role”.",

"The Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku, on Friday said that terrorists are not Muslims, adding that, Nigerians must stand together and fight the insurgency in the country.\n\nThe minster made the call at National Peace Conference and Unity Rally organised by the Integrity for Leaders Initiative in Asaba.\n\nMaku urged everyone, irrespective of tribe, ethnicity or religion, to support government in fighting terrorism.\n\nHe said terrorists had nothing to do with religion, adding that they were being led by a different spirit that taking life no longer meant anything to them.\n\n“These terrorists are not Muslims, all religions preaches peace and we must ensure that we promote peace and security development in our country.\n\n“To imagine that Nigeria will be confronted by this situation in 2014 is a challenge to make all Nigerians to rise and fight the insurgents.\n\n“So, I urge all Christians and Moslems to stand together as one to defeat the terrorism in the country,” Maku said.\n\nThe minister charged those politicians who manipulated religious organisations for the selfish interest to desist forthwith.\n\nHe called on parents and guardians to instill the right values in their children and wards, urging the youths to resist desperate politicians who may want to use them to cause violence.\n\nHe lauded President Goodluck Jonathan’s leadership quality that had transformed the nation’s economy to number one position in Africa in spite of the security challenge.\n\nGovernor Emmanuel Uduaghan, represented by the Commissioner for Information, Chike Ogeah, called on politicians to separate politics from security.\n\nUduaghan said if something urgently was not done to contain the situation, “anarchy is imminent.”\n\nNational Coordinator of the group, Rev. Chukwudi Eke, urged Nigerians to think more about what they could do for the Nigeria and not what Nigeria would do for them.\n\n“We are here most importantly, to show our solidarity and love for Nigeria, where peace and unity reign supreme.\n\n“Through this peace conference and unity rally, we are showing selfless love for our dear nation by being facilitators for the continued peace and unity of our dear Nigeria”, Eke said.\n\nNAN reports that Jonathan was given an award as the Most Tolerant and Peace Loving President, while Uduaghan got the Peace Ambassador Award for 2013."

"My last post on living in an RV has generated a bunch of questions by comment and by email. Instead of responding to them individually, I’m going to answer them all here.\n\nHow long did it take you to outfit the RV with solar power?\n\nPutting solar power into an RV is a simple job, primarily because most things in an RV (everything that I use) runs of 12V DC power instead of standard household 120V AC power.\n\nOn my first RV I was going to have an RV shop install my panel for me, but they insisted on me physically leaving my RV at their shop for 2-3 weeks while it “waited in line” for the half day installation. I thought that was ridiculous, so I decided to try to install it myself. It was easy and took less than a day.\n\nWhat do you do about cops and what not who hassle you? (I remember you talking about that) How does that typical encounter go? I think it would be somewhat obvious to the people around you that someone is actually living in the RV parked on their street.\n\nCops generally don’t hassle me. I had one incident in Austin where a nearby resident was making constant complaints because I was parked there for months at a time. I talked to the cop and made it clear that I knew the law, and he agreed to stop putting stickers on the windshield telling me to move.\n\nKeep in mind that I intentionally bought the smallest RV I could find. If I had a 40′ behemoth, that might change things. Generally, though, you can park on the street for 72 hours at a time, and can just move to a nearby spot after that. Wash, rinse, repeat.\n\nAs a side note, finding parking is FAR easier than you’d expect. Even when we had the 40′ school bus, it wasn’t all that bad. I’m in Hollywood right now and within a week have already found three streets that always have parking available.\n\nHow about privacy and what not? I don’t think I would feel so comfortable with noises and rocking while I’m doing the hanky panky.\n\nIt’s really just not an issue. RVs have stiffer springs than cars, so I don’t think rocking is a huge deal. If you close the windows, people outside can’t hear too much. Also, when you have all the shades drawn, people tend to assume the RV is just parked and empty… people don’t wait around by the windows to see if they can hear anything.\n\nI randomly drove from Cali to NY, and crashed a few nights in the back of my Scion tC. It wasn’t a comfortable sleep at all though because it got really cold. I wonder if your RV has good insulation, a heater, or if you just use a ton of blankets.\n\nThe RV does have insulation, and sleeping on a mattress helps a lot. After all, a mattress is basically several inches of dense insulation. I also have a down comforter, and a heater. Using a catalytic heater like an Olympian Wave 6, you can inexpensively and comfortably heat an RV in the winter.\n\nA question though, do you have a toilet in the RV, and so where do you throw excrement?\n\nI do have a toilet, as well as a shower and two sinks. The waste from the toilet is held in a 12 gallon tank, and the water from the sinks is held in a separate 7 gallon tank. The shower used to drain into the toilet tank, but I rerouted it outside. This is technically illegal, but it’s just water and biodegradable soap, so I’m not worried about it.\n\nEvery 6-7 days or so I drain the tanks, usually at an RV park. They charge $5-15 for the privilege. The process is actually very easy and sanitary and takes no more than fifteen minutes. At the same time I also replenish my 20 gallon fresh water supply.\n\nWhile on the highway, it’s even easier. Many truck stops, including every Flying J, have dump sites that you can use for free. Los Angeles is the toughest place so far… I have to drive 20 minutes to an RV park near the beach.\n\nI have a Sprint Mifi 2200 card. This tiny device connects to Sprint’s mobile broadband network and acts as a wireless router. Besides my laptop and guests’ laptops, my GPS can also connect to the Wifi and use it to get traffic reports. Download speeds are about 100-300 kilobytes/sec and the cost is $60/ month (I get it for less because I got a discount).\n\nI also have a crank up antenna on the roof whose direction can be controlled from the inside. I’m thinking about putting a cantenna on it and wiring it to a router inside the RV. This would allow me to pull in unsecured wifi signals and download at much higher speeds when I’m in urban areas.\n\nWhat’s not great about the RV?\n\nThere are a few things that aren’t ideal about living in the RV. The biggest one is that stuff breaks. My fridge just randomly stopped working (hence the picture at the top), so now I have to tinker and try to fix it. When things break on the car part of it, I’m homeless for a day or two while the shop fixes it.\n\nAlso, It’s just not good for hot weather. If the weather goes over 95 or so and you don’t have somewhere to plug in to use the AC, it’s just too hot to stay in during the day. If night time temperatures are over 85, it’s too hot to sleep in comfortably. It’s doable, of course. I happily went through an entire Texas summer, but it wasn’t especially comfortable.\n\nThe last very minor complaint is that there are limits to how customized you can make an RV. I want to get rid of my microwave, but the wall is unfinished behind it and wires run back there, so I can’t really take it out. I’d like to add larger waste tanks, but it’s just not a practical thing to do.\n\nThese are minor quibbles, though. The first one is something that genuinely annoys me, but for the others I had to stare at the carpeted ceiling and think hard.\n\nI’ll make a video, but the fridge is pulled out right now and I have clothes hanging up to dry, so I’ll wait a couple days."

"When Jimmy Carter became president in 1976, many events and hardships followed. The list is long, infuriating, and filled with needs that stuck us hard in many ways, mostly our pockets.\n\nIn those years of his presidency, inflation rose, interest rates soared, and our family needs increased. Our baby Mary was born on New Year’s Eve in 1980, just when we felt our bank account echoed like an empty canyon.\n\nJohn worked at a property management company, collecting rents, evicting, arranging for repairs. With the rough economy, apartments stood empty and renters did not pay.\n\nOur income shrank. Details aren't important, but December was. We could stretch our money only so far, and Christmas was beyond our stretching reach. Facing each other the day after Thanksgiving as we decorated our Kmart artificial tree, the question hung in the air silently. What are we going to do?\n\nErin was five, Johnny was three, and Mary was one—the older two danced around the lighted tree, laughing as we were almost crying. What are we going to do?\n\nA coin jar was on a dresser, where we had emptied pockets of coins from pockets over the past two years. Maybe? In a quiet house, John dumped coins onto the kitchen table and we began counting. Stacks of quarters were few, followed by more stacks of dimes and nickels, but the pennies were a sea across the table.\nFifty two dollars and some cents. That was all we had. Every penny. We leaned back in our chairs and considered what we could do.\n\n\nAn unspoken understanding affirmed that would be packages under that cheap tree, and our children would have piles of wrapping paper around them. So it began...the search for our children's Christmas.\n\nWhy was this important to us?\n\nLooking back, I believe that this monumental effort was to show ourselves that we could provide a spectacular Christmas, even though we struggled in so many areas of our lives. We could give our children this, something important to us.\n\nHow? How? The details are so many. Details that required dropping ever semblance of pride.\n\nJohn searched empty apartments as they were being cleaned. Renters who disappear in the dead of the night left behind surprising items, some damaged and some nearly new. From his searches, John brought home a “Wonder Horse”. We would paint it and make it new.\n\nA store nearby sold damaged items at lower prices. But those prices moved beyond our list. A bin in the back corner was a doll in a bashed box, a doll with blond hair, like Erin’s hair. We could buy that. We thanked God for the finds and for His way of guiding us to the right places. Pic 'N Save and Goodwill revealed treasures.\n\nThe list grew as the coin stacks shrank. I crocheted slippers, quilted pot holders, and found doll patterns in a woman's magazine. John brought home fixable and decent items to fix, renovate, and gift to his own family members. But then...\n\nWe were down to the last four dollars, when a letter arrived from my grandmother arrived. \"Honey, I just knew you could use this. Merry Christmas, sweetheart. I love you...\" Ten dollars! I cried.\n\nCheap, but lovely toys were wrapped for the tree. We put the tree on a side table, and then covered it with a white sheet. The presents around the tree cascaded as a waterfall, flowing out on the floor. Gasps from Erin and Johnny as they ran out to the tree told us that we had succeeded. With Mary happily shaking a dolly made from my sewing stash, each child took their turns opening gifts.\n\nEach morning thereafter we would wake up to the sound of Johnny riding the Wonder Horse. How, oh how I wished that we had oiled those springs.",

"Sauce Money comes out to accuse Diddy for doing him wrong when they collaborated in the past. “You Got Me” “Sometimes Relationships Get Ill” were once said an their root tracks. Which looks to be the case for Sauce Money dropping this track.\n\nFor the benefit of those unfamiliar with the story, Sauce and Diddy worked together on a few projects, including the Grammy Award-winning “I’ll Be Missing You,” a tribute track to the late Notorious B.I.G. The rapper (Sauce) did shared on Twitter that grievances aren’t all about money.\n\n“Money is not my master,” “Fame and celebrity don’t matter.”\n\nTreating people with respect and doing things the right way is all I’m concerned with. Some people go as far to oppress others with their status.\n\nEspecially their own kind.",

"Progress – Keeping it in perspective",
null,
"“I feel like I’m not getting better, like nothing I’m doing is right”. A sentiment echoed in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms across the globe. Day in and day out practitioners toil, exerting maximum effort to achieve even the most miniscule gain-because they all know that progress is the goal rather than perfection. But after the continuous exhausting work some people are still left feeling dissatisfied. Whether it’s their performance relative to their teammates’ or merely against a mental image of themselves that they have, it can be frustrating not seeing the progress you desire and work so hard for.\n\nAnd yet…because people are often so focused on the NOW aspect of their respective abilities, it can be easy for them to forget where they started and just how far they’ve actually come. To help visualize this fact, think back to when you first started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, back to when you first donned your Gi and were still fumbling with how to properly tie your belt. In those days, the bane of many beginners’ around you were the warmup drills. The running, the jumping, the pushups and other bodyweight exercises definitely humbled quite a few individuals. So much so that it became common place to notice people begin coming into class late hoping to avoid the warmup (yes, we noticed you all!). Back in those days when people would think to themselves, “ok this is more than enough running, lets just roll”! However, after only a few weeks of these seemingly torturous exercises something began to happen, their bodies started to adapt and their minds no longer told them to quit-that they really couldn’t do it.\n\nBut you kept at it and something happened-almost as if by magic. You went from needing to stop and catch your breath after nearly every lap to being able to keep up with your teammates. At first you thought perhaps the running had slowed. But then you noticed that you were actually able to keep up during the pushups and situps drill as well…you couldn’t understand it. In your mind you didn’t look any differently, and you certainly didn’t feel any differently. So when you catch yourself questioning your ability, doubting yourself and your efforts-stop and think about it, you are getting better, everyone who trains is. Stop looking for the HUGE jump and start noticing the small steps. Similar to building the foundation of a strong house; brick-by-brick, your Jiu jitsu is built by multiple small improvements. When looked at individually they may seem small and insignificant, but when viewed at a distance it is easy to see the new you being formed."

"Exposed: Shocking video shows underage workers as young as 13 forced to work up to 19 hours a day at Chinese sweatshops\n\nUnderage workers as young as 13 are being forced to work around the clock at poor-conditioned clothing factories in China, according to local media.\n\nA recent video, taken by undercover journalists, shows young workers sewing and sorting clothes on the assembly lines at different workshops in the city of Changshu, eastern China's Jiangsu province.\n\nThese underage workers, most of whom come from rural and poverty-stricken southern China, labour as long as 19 hours a day, producing hundreds of garments in dimly lit and dirty factory space, as the investigation revealed.",

"The six-minute report was released on November 21 by Chinese video website Pear Video.\n\nThe reporters visited the small clothing workshops around a fabric mall in Changshu.\n\nChangshu is a booming city of around one million people on China's eastern coast. Textile and clothing industry takes up an important part of its economy.\n\nThe investigation revealed that many of the factories employed underage workers, who were introduced to them by foremen from southern China, such as Yunnan province, and sent to them on bumpy bus journeys of some 28 hours.\n\nThey start working at 7:30am every day and couldn't go home until they finish making hundreds of items.\n\nSometimes they finish at 3am the next day, revealed the report.\n\nDeprived of their youth-hood, these workers are forced to work at least 28 days a month.",

"Two workers the reporters talked to were both 15 years old. One of them said he had worked in the factory since he was 13 years old\n\nThese teenagers, who worked without contracts, were promised a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan (£292), however they could only be paid at the end of the year, an anonymous factory owner told the reporters.\n\nThe sweatshop bosses would take away the ID cards and mobile phones of these underage workers in order to prevent them from running away.\n\nTwo workers the reporters talked to were both 15 years old. One of them said he had worked in the factory since he was 13 years old.\n\nOne 15-year-old worker, named Xiao Xiong, said he was required to produce 350 pieces of clothing when he first started working at the factory, but the number soon escalated to 500.",

"The sweatshops were found in Changshu (pictured), a modern city of one million people",

"The report has drawn the attention of the authority of Changsu, who immediately carried out an investigation into the unlicensed workshops in the city, reported China News.\n\nAccording to the report, an official from the Changshu Propaganda Bureau said the authority visited 1,797 workshops and 163 stores in the evening of November 21.\n\nThe officials found eight suspected underage workers, who have been arranged to stay at a local school temporarily.\n\nThe Changshu police have also arrested a 40-year-old foreman, surnamed Feng, who worked for an unlicensed factory.\n\nAccording to the Chinese labour laws, 'no employing units shall be allowed to recruit juveniles under the age of 16'.\n\nThe authority of Changshu has dealt with 107 cases involving 221 underage workers since 2012, according to China News.",

It even promises three-on-three clashes and a return to 2.5D fighting, which is where the series has found its best successes."

"Friday, June fifth, 2019 was the 2nd Worldwide LGBT STEM Day*, an observance designed to have fun the contributions that LGBTQ+ folks have made in STEM, and lift consciousness of the problems that LGBTQ+ scientists nonetheless face of their each day life. Whereas not all the time seen, LGBTQ+ scientists have existed all through historical past, from the inventor of the pc Alan Turing, to astronaut Sally Journey. Whereas important progress has been made in the direction of equality, important obstacles stay.",

"To conclude satisfaction month and have fun the second annual LGBT STEM Day, we spoke with LGBTQ+ scientists to focus on the private experiences of LGBTQ+ folks in STEM, put a highlight on the problems that scientists nonetheless face at present, and share assets for the advantage of the LGBTQ+ neighborhood and allies.\n\nThis info was gathered by way of social media, e-mails, cellphone interviews, and in-person conversations with scientists from a wide range of profession levels and professional areas with numerous experiences to share. Whereas many experiences are shared throughout the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, you will need to acknowledge that not one individual’s expertise is all-encompassing, and that the acronym “LGBTQ+” purposefully encompasses a big and numerous group of identities.\n\nVisibility contributes considerably to how STEM can turn out to be a safer, extra inclusive area. Nevertheless, it appears completely different relying on the context. Initially, it will possibly imply having extra LGBTQ+ science icons, however it is usually seeing different LGBTQ+ scientists in your lab, classroom, or office. Even should you don’t determine as being aside of the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, together with your pronouns on e mail signatures and saying your pronouns while you introduce your self creates an area for LGBTQ+ folks to enter the dialog with a lesser probability of being misidentified (Murphree). Visibility may also embody having LGBTQ+ teams or golf equipment at your establishment. Creating areas for folks to be happy to be who they’re is absolutely highly effective. Tutorial establishments typically have a extra sturdy instrument equipment for supporting additional schooling and assist for LGBTQ+ college students.\n\nAnother methods folks have mixed their LGBTQ+ and STEM identities are grassroots efforts, for instance, Barthelemy has labored to affect coverage adjustments by way of forming teams of passionate LGBTQ+ scientists wanting to assist make a change.\n\nWhat can establishments do to foster a local weather of inclusivity?\n\nThere have been two themes with the responses we obtained for this reply. Establishments can 1) supply coaching and assets for tips on how to foster an inclusive atmosphere, and a pair of) displaying higher assist for his or her college students and workers.\n\nCoaching for workers and supporting employees to study their implicit biases, inclusive language, and strategies for making a extra supportive atmosphere for these round them. This coaching exhibits that people have been outfitted with instruments for inclusivity. Even when there aren’t any verbal interactions, seeing stickers or indicators that the realm you’re in is a Secure Zone will be actually helpful.\nSupporting college students and/or workers might sound fairly apparent, however complete efforts to assist college students and workers signifies that these folks will assist the establishment and group (Roti Roti). Examples of this are: including statements of variety and inclusion; contemplating Finest Apply paperwork for creating inclusive areas; encouraging pleasant discussions on a continuous foundation; displaying dedication to anti-discrimination insurance policies even after the hiring course of; and offering assets for continued schooling.\n\n“A local weather of inclusivity can solely be achieved when those that exclude, harass, and assault are held totally accountable. Ladies, LGBT folks, disabled folks, folks of colour, and particularly these whose identities intersect are made extra weak by establishments that passively or actively permit misconduct to proceed.”- Marinelli\n\n“Encourage people to get Secure Zone coaching (out there on many college campuses) and be seen allies by placing up a rainbow flag sticker or different indication of assist for the LGBT+ neighborhood.”- Plisch\n\nOut of your perspective, what are the most important challenges LGBTQ+ scientists face?\nIn STEM, “there tends to be a bias in opposition to discussing points within the private area, together with issues that may have an effect on the participation of people within the self-discipline. This disproportionately impacts these in marginalized teams, which expertise exclusionary conduct extra steadily, and impedes efforts to advance inclusion. As physicists, we have to keep in mind that folks do physics, and the well-being of all physicists is paramount to advancing data within the self-discipline,” mentioned Plisch.\n\nThere’s a lack of illustration that’s required to make sure that marginalized populations in STEM are nicely supported and, making a extra numerous neighborhood of scientists (Murphree).\n\nThis is able to imply that LGBTQ+ folks wouldn’t should “come out” in each interplay they’ve of their skilled neighborhood, an act which is exhausting and dangerous when in new settings (Barthelemy).\n\nAnd discrimination on the idea of orientation or gender identification will not be protected in opposition to in lots of states throughout the nation (Marinelli).\n\nWhat assets have been essentially the most helpful for you that we are able to share with others?\n\nWe will make a higher affect once we stand collectively, which is why teams like oSTEM and NOGLSTP, skilled societies particularly for LGBTQ+ folks exist. These organizations have scholarships, conferences, and professional growth alternatives particularly for folks within the LGBTQ neighborhood. Connecting with different LGBTQ+ scientists will be very useful, whether or not it’s by way of LGBT-specific organizations, or by way of occasions like APS’s LGBTQ discussions and receptions on the March and April Conferences.\n\nEven social media platforms like Twitter or Instagram will be a good way to attach with different LGBTQ+ scientists. Hashtags like #LGBTSTEM, #QueerInSTEM, or #BiInSci and are a good way to get to know different LGBTQ+ throughout the globe. There are additionally so many accounts to observe, like @Also_AScientist, @outforundergrad, @HouseofSTEM @LGBT_Physics, @LGBTSTEM, @500QueerSci, @TigersInSTEM, and extra that debate these points. Be a part of the Dialog.\n\nBy educating your self about points within the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, you could be a higher ally in the direction of your friends. There are many methods that you would be able to present your assist. Get licensed for Secure Zone coaching. Present that you’re conscious of LGBTQ+ areas by way of “protected zone” stickers. Embrace your pronouns when introducing your self and in your emails. Ask different folks’s pronouns.\n\nWe’re actually grateful to the beneficiant scientists that contributed their ideas, opinions, tales, and recommendation for this text. STEM is supposed to assist advance our society, however now we have to acknowledge the scientists behind this progress as nicely. If you need to share ideas, questions, and suggestions, please e mail physicscentral@aps.org.\n\n*This text was meant to be revealed on July 5; nevertheless, the APS workplace was closed and we needed to do our due diligence earlier than publishing to permit our contributors the time for his or her approval. Moreover, whereas LGBT STEM Day serves as an necessary observance, we’d prefer to proceed this dialog past the annual celebration.\n\nRamón Barthelemy is an assistant professor on the College of Utah in Physics Schooling Analysis. He bought his Ph.D. from Western Michigan, was a Fulbright Scholar in Finland and a AAAS fellow sponsored by APS earlier than working within the personal sector, and frequently engaged on supporting areas of inclusion for LGBTQ+ college students.\nMariarosa Marinelli is an undergraduate scholar finding out physics at Virginia Commonwealth College. She researches galaxy evolution utilizing spectroscopic knowledge from the MaNGA Survey, and can be an educator on the Science Museum of Virginia’s Planetarium, delivering stay astronomy exhibits to museum guests.\nAnna Murphree is a rising junior at Rhodes School in Memphis, TN incomes a BS in Physics researching the spectroscopy of lively galactic nuclei in Dr. Rupke’s Group and at her REU on the College of Wyoming this summer season, seeking to pursue a PhD in astrophysics.\nMonica Plisch is the Director of the Schooling and Range Division on the American Bodily Society. Having gotten her Ph.D. from Cornel, she has served in lots of roles working to advance physics in the direction of being a extra numerous and inclusive neighborhood.\nAnnelise Roti Roti just lately transferred out of graduate research at Lehigh College and is at the moment a Challenge Improvement Intern with APS’s STEP UP venture. They intend to pursue doctoral research on the College of Maryland within the close to future and keep important involvement in neighborhood social justice efforts.\n\n500 Queer Scientists: a corporation selling LGBTQ+ visibility in STEM\noSTEM (Out in Science, Know-how, Engineering, and Arithmetic): Knowledgeable society centered on LGBTQ folks within the STEM neighborhood\nThe Trevor Challenge: A nonprofit group devoted to disaster administration and suicide prevention for LGBTQ folks below the age of 25\nLGBT Physicists: a community of physicists dedicated to a discrimination-free atmosphere\nAPS LGBT Applications: A set of stories and assets for selling inclusivity in physics\nPronoun dressing room\nApply with Pronouns\n\nPopping out in Chem Class by way of C&En Magazine\n“Now I do know I’m not Alone” Examine Highlights Challenges LGBT Employees in STEM Face by way of ScienceMag\nThe LGBTQ Expertise in Colleges: 50 Years After Stonewall by way of neaToday (CW: mentions of suicide, self-harm)\nIs Physics Open and Accepting for LGBT Folks? by way of APS Information\nMake Your Physics Lounge a Secure Area by way of SPS Nationwide\nLGBT Physicists: The Interviews by way of Physics Immediately\nOut in Physics by way of Symmetry\nLGBT+ Inclusivity in Physics and Astronomy: A Finest Practices Information by way of Arxiv"

"A potential management buyout for Cambria Automobiles (LON: CAMB) at 80p a share could provide an indication about the attractiveness of the valuations of AIM-quoted rivals.\n\nThere are no forecasts for Cambria. Last year, underlying pre-tax profit was £11.1m, down from £12.3m. The potential bid represents nine times last year’s earnings and eight times the previous year when earnings peaked.\n\nTrading in the first five months of this financial year is ahead of the same time last year. Interims will be published on 5 May.\n\nVertu Motors (LON: VTU) will be reporting its figures for the year to February 2021 on 12 May. Pre-tax profit should be around £23m, which is similar to the previous year. A one-third like-for-like increase in commercial vehicle volumes has helped maintain profit. A decline in profit to £18m is currently forecast for 2021-22.\n\nLockdowns have hit new and used vehicle sales, although they have bounced back after exiting previous lockdowns. The AIM-quoted companies performed relatively well in some sectors of the market.\n\nThe proposed Cambria bid does not appear to be particularly generous at a low point for the sector. This does appear to be a good time to be buying motor dealers with strong balance sheets. They all have significant property assets.\n\nCost bases have been trimmed. Once trading becomes easier to forecast, they should also go back to paying dividends.\n\nIn the short-term, the Cambria share price will depend on the progress of the potential bid. Marshall Motor and Vertu Motors have potential upside, but investors may need to be patient."

"Grab some popcorn and have a seat, because this one is going to be one hell of a cinematic story. We wish were making this up but nope.\n\nHard to believe but Brittany Brees and her partner NFL champ Drew Brees whom she has been married for more than fifteen years sort of share a filmy love storyline that is no less than a movie we have seen.\n\nThis dates back to the year 1999 when the Texas-born then-future pro athlete in the making was about to turn 20. And, to celebrate his birthday, Drew alongside his mates at Purdue University are at a bar where he gets super drunk. And, it is indeed at the same bar where Brittany is also present.",
null,
"And, a highly intoxicated with 17 shots birthday boy who did all sorts of crazy stuff such as putting his foot inside his mouth then throws inappropriate slurs at Brittany who gets super mad at him. If only Drew and Brittany both knew what was coming for them.\n\nThen the next day, Drew, a sober from his birthday shenanigans instantly remember his behavior from last night and regrets. Fully ashamed of what he had done, Drew is afraid to approach Brittany and even struggles to build up the courage to speak to her. But, finally, after six months, Drew, also called Breesus then finally collects the gut and asks Brittany out on a date.\n\nBrittany, who still clearly remembers what happened at the bar skeptically agrees but applies a condition; to bring her friends. Not long after that Brittany and Drew who as well as brought his friends has their first date, a movie date actually. Brittany who grew up in Syracuse, Indiana shares in an interview that her dates' friends also threw gummy bears on the screen.\n\nWhatsoever, their first date must have gone well as it brought them closer. Drew asked out Brittany on another date once again and, needless to say, their romance flourishes.\n\nBrittany & Drew Walked Down The Aisle In 2003\n\nOn a beautiful day of February 2003, the couple's close friends and family gathered in Coronado California to witness the bride and groom aka Brittany and Drew mark on a new chapter of their life.",

"Whilst Drew rocked a black tuxedo, Britanny made a great bride in an off-shoulder bridal gown accessorized with a diamond necklace and a big veil. Drew who couldn't look more in love with his bride made an adorable vow which read: \"I committed myself to her for the rest of my life, and I promise never to walk away.\"\n\nOther details regarding the love birds' wedding are, however, kept a secret. And, even after two decades of togetherness, Brittany and her husband are still going stronger. Their love produced four children; three sons and a daughter, in accordance with the dream, Brittany and Drew had always shared of.",

"Brittany became pregnant with their first child, Baylen Robert Brees, in 2008 and welcomed him on the 30th birthday of Drew on 15th January 2009. Baylen was then followed by their second eldest child, Bowen Christopher Brees, born on 19th October 2010. Third child, Callen Christian Brees, was born in 2012 whilst the youngest one, Rylen Judith Brees was born in August 2014.\n\nDrew says his sons are highly into sports and play all sorts of sports. He even brought his sons at the 2019 ESPYS to give his boys a chance to meet some of their sports heroes alongside rapper Migos. And, during his speech, Drew also thanked his wife for her supports.",

"I spent about 30 minutes perched on this thing, and not because my feet couldn’t touch the ground and I couldn’t pop off with any kind of grace. Rather, because it was in a bizarre corner, and so the waves were loud and so calming.",
null,
"Today was an unexpectedly eventful day. Unexpected because it was supposed to rain and I didn’t expect much. I planned to stay out as long as possible, until the rains. Lucky for me, they never came.\n\nFirst, I decided to head opposite of what I have been doing, aiming West instead. Only it wasn’t so sophisticated in my head, where my decision was JUST TURN RIGHT TODAY. Turn right I did, and tripped on an ally from which was coming a beautiful violin practice. I couldn’t make out the exact window, but found a mom and pop coffee place which seats FOUR. I ordered my mayohdlate from their window along the street, so I could hang back and listen to the violinist. It was an omen for two reasons: 1) because it was too beautiful a beginning for it to end in rain; and, 2) one of the two things I am considering doing when home is cello lessons and painting. Not necessarily combined. (Right-hand side is where you can see my coffee cup.)",
null,
"After this, I kept turning right and then just randomly blew down the river’s edge, landing in Belém. Not bad, Lisbon. Not bad.\n\nBecause I wasn’t intending this, I Googled whattf to do as soon as I realized where I was. Believe it or not, over the span of 5.5 hours, I did all of the things, starting at having a pastéis at the aptly named Pastéis de Belém (R. de Belém 84-92), which is supposed to be the original pashteesh. I mean. They gave me a packet of icing sugar and a packet of cinnamon, both of which I unceremoniously dumped onto my pashteesh before eating it. The thing is, I don’t like the large sized pashteeshz – what is the plural, y’all? – because they are too much custard. Are we fighting? I really prefer the smaller bite-sized ones because more crust, less egg and sugar filling. Yeah. We’re fighting.\n\nFrom there, I made my way to Jerónimos Monastery, which was as beautiful as it is described. This is 16th c Manueline architecture at its finest, according to C0ndé Nast (who is entirely too up its ass but I’ll occasionally take its recs).",

"Fun Fact: This is where the famed Portuguese occupiers and colonizers would Spa Day after they returned from places such as India. Gross, right? Almost as gross as this monster of a statue, right across the parks from the Monastery – a gigantic nod to those who thought they were better than others and so occupation and colonization of “undiscovered lands” was their jam. Man, humans are proper pricks.",
null,
"Luckily, I didn’t much need to stare at that or what it represented. The better part of my Belém day was spent inside of the Berardo Modern Art Museum (Praça do Império) because I. Love. Surrealism. And Modern. Art. So much. I was in absolute heaven here and wish to marry a Berardo because I am lying to myself and pretending the Berardos own all of the beauty held in this museum. Come here if you only have one day in Lisbon. Trust me. This is the absolute must see.\n\nStill without rain, I took my chances and started walking home along the water again. I had already been out for 5 hours on my feet, and had another 1.5 to go, so though I walked passed the beautiful MAAT, I decided to save this beauty for tomorrow, inshAllah.\n\nMy day ended with Hendrix in a park, watching the sun come out to hello before it was once more suffocated by these Spring clouds.\n\nToday, I am grateful for:\n1. The rains happening after I was inside this one time only deal in a lifetime.\n2. The sound of waves. It’s been a while since I heard them and they really are one of the most calming sounds for my heart. Rain in trees, too.\n3. This entire adventure. Even though I’m not so sure I want to travel any more during this sabbatical, these last five months (!!!!!!!!!!) have been heaven-sent."

"Orca wants to give boating navigation its ‘iPhone moment’ – TechCrunch\n\n\nBoating is a hobby steeped in history and tradition — and so is the industry and those that support it. With worldwide connectivity, electric boats, and other technological changes dragging the sector out of old habits, Orca aims to replace the outdated interfaces by which people navigate with a hardware-software combo as slick as any other modern consumer tech.\n\nIf you’re a boater, and I know at least some of you are, you’re probably familiar with two different ways of chart-plotting, or tracking your location and route: the one attached to your boat and the one in your pocket.\n\nThe one on your boat is clunky and old-fashioned, like the GPS interface on a years-old budget sedan. The one in your pocket is better and faster — but the phone isn’t exactly seaworthy and the app drains your battery with a quickness.\n\nOrca is a Norwegian startup from veterans of the boating and chart-plotters that leapfrogs existing products with a built-from-scratch modern interface.\n\n“The industry hasn’t changed in the last 20 years — you have three players who own 80 percent of the business,” said co-founder and CEO Jorge Sevillano. “For them, it’s very hard to think of how software creates value. All these devices are built on a user interface that’s 10-15 years old; think about a Tomtom, lots of menus, lots of clicks. This business hasn’t had its iPhone moment, where it had to rethink its entire design. So we thought: let’s start with a blank slate and build a new experience.”\n\nCTO and co-founder Kristian Fallro started working on something like this years ago, and his company was acquired by Navico, one of the big players Sevillano refers to. But they didn’t seem to want to move forward with the ideas, and so he and the others formed Orca to pursue them. Their first complete product opened up for pre-orders this week.\n\n“The challenge up until now has been that you need a combination of hardware and software, so the barrier to entry was very, very high,” Fallro explained. “It’s a very protected industry — and it’s too small for Apple and Google and the big boys.”\n\nBut now with a combination of the right hardware and a totally rebuilt software stack, they think they can steal a march on the dominant companies and be ready for the inevitable new generation of boaters who can’t stand to use the old tech any more. Shuttling an SD card to and from the in-boat system and your computer to update charts? Inputting destinations via directional pad? Using a separate mobile app to check weather and tides that might bear on your route? Not exactly cutting edge.\n\nThe Orca system comprises a ruggedized industrial tablet sourced from Samsung, an off the shelf marine quality mounting arm, a custom-designed interface for quick attachment and charging, and a computing base unit that connects to the boat’s own sensors like sonar and GPS over the NMEA 2000 protocol. It’s all made to be as good or better than anything you’d find on a boat today.\n\nSo far, so similar to many solutions out there. But Orca has rebuilt everything from the ground up as a modern mobile app with all the conveniences and connections you’d expect. Routing is instantaneous and accurate, on maps that are clear and readable as those on Google and Apple Maps but clearly still of the nautical variety. Weather and tide reports are integrated, as is marine traffic. It all runs on Android or iOS, so you can also use your phone, send routes or places of interest to the main unit, and vice versa.",
null,
"“We can build new services that chart plotters can’t even dream of including,” said Sevillano. “With the latest tide report and wind, or if there’s a commercial ship going in your way, we can update your range and route. We do updates every week with new features and bug fixes. We can iterate and adapt to user feedback faster than anyone else.”\n\nThese improvements to the most central system of the boat mean the company has ambitions for coming years beyond simply replacing the ageing gadgets at the helm.\n\nInformation collected from the boat itself is also used to update the maps in near real time — depending on what your craft is monitoring, it could be used for alerting others or authorities, for example if you encounter major waves or dangerous levels of chemicals, or detect an obstacle where none is recorded. “The Waze of the seas,” they suggested. “Our goal is to become the marine data company. The opportunities for boaters, industries related to the sea, and society are immense.”\n\nBeing flexible about the placement and features means they hope to integrate directly with boats, becoming the built-in OS for new models. That’s especially important for the up-and-coming category of electric boats, which sort of by definition buck the old traditions and tend to attract tech-savvy early adopters.\n\n“We’re seeing people take what works on land taking it to sea. They all have the same challenge though, the biggest problem is range anxiety — and it’s even worse on the water,” said Fallro. “We’ve been talking to a lot of these manufacturers and we’re finding that building a boat is hard but building that navigation experience is even harder.”\n\nWhether that’s entirely true probably depends on your boat-building expertise, but it’s certainly the case that figuring out an electric boat’s effective range is a devilishly difficult problem. Even after building a new boat from starting principles and advanced physical simulations to be efficient and predictable, such as Zin Boats did, the laws of physics and how watercraft work mean even the best estimate has to be completely revised every few seconds.\n\n“Figuring out range at sea is very hard, and we think we’re one of the best out there. So we want to provide boat manufacturers a software stack with integrated navigation that helps them solve the range anxiety problem their users have,” said Fallro.\n\nIndeed, it seems likely that prospective purchasers of such a craft would be more tempted to close the deal if they knew there was a modern and responsive OS that not only accurately tracked range but provided easy, real-time access to potential charge points and other resources. Sure, you could use your phone — and many do these days because the old chart plotters attached to their boats are so limited. But the point is that with Orca you won’t be tempted to.\n\nThe full device combo of computing core, mount, and tablet costs €1,449, with the core alone selling for €449, with a considerable discount for early bird pre-orders. (For people buying new boats, these numbers may as well be rounding errors.)\n\nFallro said Orca is operating with funding (of an unspecified amount) from Atomico and Nordic VC firm Skyfall Ventures, as well as angel investors including Kahoot co-founder Johan Brand. The company has its work cut out for it simply in fulfilling the orders it has collected (they are doing a brisk trade, Fallro intimated) before moving on to adding features and updating regularly as promised."

"HOHENFELS, Germany — While U.S. and other NATO forces train the Afghanistan National Army to fight insurgents, the country’s fledgling soldiers are proving to be an invaluable resource to their mentors in preparation for deployment.\n\nAt the Army’s Joint Multinational Readiness Center here in rural Bavaria, about 300 coalition forces from more than a dozen countries completed a two-week training exercise Wednesday with 70 Afghan soldiers — the fifth in a series of Operational Mentor and Liaison Team rotations for troops bound for Afghanistan.\n\nThe instructors teach courses and supervise troops in action, providing on-the-spot feedback and assistance with after-action reviews. Most of them have recent combat experience and stay in touch with U.S. forces downrange so they can adjust training to reflect what’s happening on the ground.\n\nThe war games — including meetings with tribal elders, gunbattles with insurgents and roadside bombs — are designed to be as realistic as possible. However, folding Afghan soldiers in the mix over the past year has added a new level of insight and preparation, said Lt. Col. Jody Petery, who heads an observer/controller team at Hohenfels.\n\nPetery oversaw an urban operations exercise with Dutch, Canadian and Afghan soldiers early Wednesday morning in one of several mock towns that dot the 10-by-20-kilometer training ground. Soldiers and civilians “inhabit” the neighborhoods, acting as villagers and opposing forces.\n\nThe training is a combination of exposing Western and Afghan troops to one another and instilling all non-U.S. forces with a “uniform American doctrine” to eliminate potential confusion when the multinational units converge in Afghanistan, Petery said.\n\nMolding the Afghan soldiers is particularly tricky, he said.\n\n“Learning the best way to motivate them without offending them is one of the most important things,” he said.\n\nFor Afghan soldiers, training with their more-experienced U.S. and NATO counterparts goes beyond just a lesson in teamwork.\n\nSadiqi, one of the few Afghan soldiers who speaks English, said his army is slowly implementing U.S. military concepts such as giving more authority to noncommissioned officers and promoting soldiers based on their abilities instead of their connections to those in power. Education and leadership are key to raising the bar for Afghan soldiers, 65 percent of whom cannot read or write, he said.\n\nFrom the obvious language barrier to the more subtle cultural differences, Western soldiers contend that tackling the learning curve before going downrange is invaluable.\n\nThe Afghans “are very passionate and brave and want to go forward no matter what,” said Dutch army Maj. Haran Gorissen, whose unit deploys to Uruzgan province next week. “We have to tell them to calm down sometimes because they want to attack everything.”\n\nMinor yet still noteworthy, said Gorissen, was dispelling the misconception that all Afghan men have full beards and also making troops aware that the seemingly universally accepted thumbs-up sign is considered an obscene gesture in the Muslim country.\n\nWhile Secretary of Defense Robert Gates this week criticized NATO nations for not supplying the promised number of trainers, infantry troops and helicopters for the war, American military officials in Hohenfels contend the training center has seen a steady increase in NATO troops en route to Afghanistan."

"“City Hall Plaza is the people’s place, and it’s now a civic front yard that all can access and enjoy,” Dion Irish, chief operating officer for the City of Boston, said in the statement.\n\nDaniel Abramson, an architectural historian and professor at Boston University, explained that the city’s renovation of the plaza is a diversion from its original purpose when it was first completed in 1968, according to the Cultural Landscape Foundation.\n\n“[The plaza] had to look like a European square. It would be for crowds of individuals to mingle, sit and watch each other, talk,” Abramson said in a phone interview with the Globe. “They thought of it as a place of pedestrian crossing. You were supposed to cross it from one part of town to another.\n\nThe $95 million project reverses that goal, Abramson said, transforming the space into something closer to a public event venue. Abramson said the plaza once served as a regional magnet for downtown Boston. But today, the space has been “domesticated,” as city officials refer to the space as “Boston’s front yard,” he said.\n\n“It’s a different take on public use,” Abramson said. “Wanting to turn the square into a neighborhood park is a historically interesting change in terms of the intentions and the way in which [the space] has been used.”\n\nArchitects and city officials involved in the renovation said at Friday’s event that they had three main goals: To make the space more welcoming, accessible and sustainable.\n\nInaccessible stairs connecting Cambridge and Congress streets, separated by dozens of feet of elevation, have been replaced with smooth, flat, brick slopes accessible to people who use wheelchairs, scooters or have other needs . The staircase leading to the main entrance of City Hall has been replaced with a brick slope, the north entrance to the building, closed since 9/11, has been reopened along the second floor entrance to the building and the plaza has renovated its lighting to make the space more accessible and safer, McCosh said at Friday’s event.\n\n“Now I can proudly say that people with disabilities are no longer limited to one path,” McCosh said. “Now they can use the whole place. From today they have the same access as everyone else and that’s something they can be really proud of.\n\nTo foster community and accommodate more events in the plaza, the renovation included the installation of seven “plug and play” locations, according to the city’s press release, for all Boston residents and community groups to enjoy. . With the expansion of “civic event spaces,” Boston City Hall Plaza can now accommodate up to 25,000 people, according to the release.\n\nThis reimagining of the square’s space includes “three small venues for events and gatherings,” according to the statement, and a new civic pavilion has been erected on Congress Street equipped to support public gatherings, meetings and events.\n\nThe plaza is now home to a “kinder-brutalist” playground, said Amy Mahler, manager of the mayor’s office of new urban mechanics, during a press tour of the plaza, offering children the chance to play on slides and climbing in jungle gymnasiums. a space reflecting the iconic Brutalist architecture of Boston City Hall.\n\n” I can not wait ! I will come back with the kids in more appropriate clothes for the slide,” Wu said.\n\nThe brutalist architectural style of the square is now complemented by inviting public art installations. After issuing a call for artists in February, the city selected metalworker Rhea Vedro to create a sculpture. It will be displayed to visitors at the northern entrance to the square for a year from next spring.\n\nThe city also commissioned public artist and illustrator Yuke Li to create two-dimensional graphic designs “for the new display system on the west exterior wall of City Hall,” according to the city’s press release. , and “the wall panels near the new civic pavilion, which will also be installed for a year.\n\n“We are so excited about the opportunities for creative expression and cultural celebrations that this renovation brings to the city,” Kara Elliott-Ortega, Chief Arts and Culture Officer, said at Friday’s event. “This plaza should reflect all of Boston’s communities and cultures, and the arts are needed to make it a welcoming place.”\n\nAnother main priority for the renovation was to use “green infrastructure” to help the city meet its environmental sustainability goals, according to the city’s statement. The plaza now displays “permeable surfaces,” such as a resin-bonded sidewalk that will absorb up to 180,000 gallons of rainwater, which will be reused to water the 250 new trees and countless other plants scattered to provide shade, beautify space, and improve air quality.\n\nCity officials also replaced 50 lights with “efficient LED technology” and “22,500 feet of granite and brick pavers were reused or recycled,” according to the release.\n\n“We have focused on integrating sustainability into all aspects of the design [of the plaza]Sasaki Landscape Architect Mauricio Gomez said at Friday’s event. “Adding hundreds of trees and thousands of shrubs and perennials to the site provides significant environmental benefits.”"

"Makers are hands-on when it comes to making change. We're explorers, hackers and problem solvers who build devices, ecosystems, art (sometimes a combination of the three) on the basis of our own (often unconventional) ideas. So when my team first sought out to empower makers of all types and ages with the AI technology we've honed at Google, we knew whatever we built had to be open and accessible. We stayed clear of limitations that come from platform and software stack requirements, high cost and complex set up, and fixed our focus on the curiosity and inventiveness that inspire makers around the world.\n\nWhen we launched our Voice Kit with help from our partner Raspberry Pi in May and sold out globally in just a few hours, we got the message loud and clear. There is a genuine demand among do-it-yourselfers for artificial intelligence that makes human-to-machine interaction more like natural human interaction.\n\nLast week we announced the Speech Commands Dataset, a collaboration between the TensorFlow and AIY teams. The dataset has 65,000 one-second long utterances of 30 short words by thousands of different contributors of the AIY websiteand allows you to build simple voice interfaces for applications. We're currently in the process of integrating the dataset with the next release of the Voice Kit, so makers could build devices that respond to simple voice commands without the press of a button or an internet connection.\n\nToday, you can pre-order your Voice Kit, which will be available for purchase in stores and online through Micro Center.\n\nOr you may have to resort to the hackthat maker Shivasiddarthcreated when Voice Kit with MagPi #57 sold out in May, and then again (within 17 minutes) earlier this month.\n\nCool ways that makers are already using the Voice Kit\n\nMartin Mander created a retro-inspired intercom that he calls 1986 Google Pi Intercom. He describes it as \"a wall-mounted Google voice assistant using a Raspberry PI 3 and the Google AIY (Artificial Intelligence Yourself) [voice] kit.\" He used a mid-80s intercom that he bought on sale for £4. It cleaned up well!",

null,
"Get the full story from Martin and see what Slashgear had to say about the project.\n\n(This one's for Dr. Who fans) Tom Minnich created a Dalek-voiced assistant.\n\nHe offers a tutorialon how you can modify the Voice Kit to do something similar — perhaps create a Drogon-voiced assistant?\n\nVictor Van Heeused the Voice Kit to create a voice-activated internet streaming radio that can play other types of audio files as well. He provides instructions, so you can do the same.",
null,
"The Voice Kit is currently available in the U.S. We'll be expanding globally by the end of this year. Stay tuned here, where we'll share the latest updates. The strong demand for the Voice Kit drives us to keep the momentum going on AIY Projects.\n\nWhat we build next will include vision and motion detection and will go hand in hand with our existing Voice Kit. AIY Project kits will soon offer makers the \"eyes,\" \"ears,\" \"voice\" and sense of \"balance\" to allow simple yet powerful device interfaces.\n\nWe'd love to bake your input into our next releases. Go to hackster.io or leave a comment to start up a conversation with us. Show us and the maker community what you're working on by using hashtag #AIYprojects on social media."

The character Supergirl is a customer superheroine who is Superman’s cousin and one of the last surviving Kryptonians from the planet Krypton.\n\nSupergirl season 6’s events were confirmed by Lena Luthor and Ryan Wilder in Earth-Prime: Batwoman #1, along with a glimpse of crossovers that could not be filmed. First storyline finds Ryan Wilder / Batwoman (Javicia Leslie) in the middle of Season 3’s events, attempting to bag up the remaining Batman villain trophies, all while Mary Hamilton (Nicole Kang) makes her debut. Poison Mary and Marquis Jet (Nick Creegan) takeover Ryan’s life as the new Joker. In the meantime, Ryan has to deal with Clayface’s mud, which has spread throughout Gotham City and met with Tanner, a young boy using his power to avenge his bullies. As it turns out, Ryan wasn’t alone when dealing with Clayface, sine Luke Fox and the arrival of Supergirl’s Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), who wanted to meet with Ryan to discuss Wayne Enterprises technology. In Gotham City, Supergirl had been in contact with Victor Fries to obtain a sample of his technology. Informally, she came to deliver a message from Supergirl regarding the first Batwoman Kate Kane speaking well of Ryan and how her team and Supergirl hope to help each other.",
null,
"Lena Luthor and Ryan Wilder’s team-up proves to be a great idea and it is wretched that this is not filmed for the television series. Unfortunately, the Supergirl’s clan could not be able to watch the team-up but they at least know now just when the final episodes of Supergirl were related to the Arrowverse universe."

"The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic has led to complete lockdown in most countries across the globe. Current estimates put the number of people under lockdown to exceed more than 2.6 billion people — a number higher than the entire human population during World War II. With experts emphasizing on the importance of social distancing and people spending most of their time cooped inside their comes, there has been a surge in Internet traffic across the globe.\n\nAmong the reasons for this surge in traffic is the massive spike in the number of video calls being made across the planet as well. Apps like WhatsApp, Skype, and Zoom have seen an uptake in the number of video calls being made using their platforms. One area that has seen an enormous spike is group video calls. With its capability to add a large number of people on a single call simultaneously, the Zoom app gained a lot of popularity during the pandemic. WhatsApp, on the other hand, felt a bit threatened by this sudden popularity of a rival video conferencing platform because it only allowed up to four people to join video calls.\n\nIn case you happen to be a beta tester for the app, you might want to head to the Google Play store to update to the latest version of the app to make use of this feature. And before you start making calls, it is also important to note that to all the people (if more than four people) involved in the call will need to have the updated version of the app installed on their devices before they can participate/make the call. There is also a chance that you might not get this feature even after you update to this version as the service needs to be activated from the WhatsApp server.\n\nNevertheless, the introduction of this feature is an indication that we can expect WhatsApp to release a stable version of the app that supports up to eight people in a single video call.\n\nWhatsApp For Android Gets Fingerprint Lock Feature, Now Rolling Out To Everyone"

"24 Hours With the Apollo Mood-Altering Wearable\n\nDeveloped by physicians and neuroscientists, Apollo isn't the sleekiest of wearables—you might mistake it for a court-ordered ankle bracelet—but it put a little pep in my step, and is an interesting talking point, if nothing else. Pre-order now and save 45 percent.",

"I just spent 24 hours with a mood-altering wearable called Apollo strapped to my ankle. Developed by physicians and neuroscientists, Apollo claims to help your body \"adapt to stress [and] restore...equilibrium,\" so I put it to the test.\n\nUpon unboxing, I was initially disappointed because I prefer my future-tech wearables to be sleeker. But it did have a hint of Starfleet in the silver emblem on top, and I was curious to see how it worked. The \"Apollo\" comes with two straps—wrist and ankle. But it looked too bulky on my wrist, and the instructions said it worked best on the ankle, so I tried that.\n\nI've never been incarcerated, but GPS ankle trackers are a common sight here in Los Angeles, and from a distance, Apollo looks like one of them. Luckily, Apollo comes with an easy-to-remove velcro strap.\n\nSetup was easy, and you can't always say that about tech today. I strapped the device around my ankle; downloaded the beta test flight app (full versions will be available on iOS and Android by the time this ships in January) and set up a profile: name, email, height, and weight. The last two were to ascertain which modes work best for my body type.\n\nThen I pressed the green button to activate the device and checked the app for a mood selection. There are currently seven states (including Clear/Focused and Relax/Recharge) to help you cycle through your day. I was about to do a phone interview, so I picked \"Social/Open.\" I didn't want to be distracted doing the call, so I chose the 15-minute version to jumpstart my energy before dialing in.\n\nWhat happened next was weird—but not unpleasant. Apollo started pulsing on my ankle in a series of vibrating waves. It wasn't consistent, so I couldn't \"tune in\" to the sensation. I have to admit it felt peppy. Did it help with my activity level? Yes. I felt a caffeine-like buzz without an actual espresso. I have no idea if it was due to the power of suggestion, but I was alert and on form.\n\nI then went about my day selecting moods—downshifting into \"Mindful\" or upwards via \"Energy\" as needed—and the vibrational pattern morphed during each session.\n\nIt all felt like something out of a futuristic tale by Philip K. Dick. In his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Rick Deckard modulates his mental waves using a \"Penfield Mood Organ\" digital device. He punches in a request—just like I did on the Apollo—and his mind switches into various altered states.\n\nLater that evening, I chose 60 minutes of \"Relax/Recharge\" while watching some screeners. But soon I felt too chilled to continue. I pre-selected \"Sleep,\" had a shower (it's waterproof), and crashed earlier than usual. The pulses on my ankle definitely helped me slip into sleep faster than usual, but I did wake up a couple of times as the device bashed into my other ankle bone.\n\nThe next morning, while making breakfast, I switched the mode to \"Energy/Wake Up\" and soon felt ready to tackle my day.\n\nApollo Neuroscience was formed in 2016, and the device has gone through multiple university-led trials and 2,000+ real world beta tests. Kathryn Fantauzzi, Apollo's CEO and co-founder, is a former financial analyst and investment executive, who most recently managed a $20 million new technology fund for the New York State Energy and Research Development Association (NYSERDA).\n\nHer co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Dr. David Rabin, created Apollo with Dr. Greg Siegle, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Siegle will continue his research independently, maintaining his academic position at the University of Pittsburgh, while Dr. Rabin has become the public face of Apollo Neuroscience.\n\nDr. Rabin is an interesting figure in the medical world, and not without controversy; he's advocated for the use of psychedelics for those with treatment-resistant mental illness.\n\nAsked to explain how Apollo works, Dr. Rabin said that \"when people are tired or stressed, the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) branch of the nervous system is more active, leaving us feeling distracted, overwhelmed, and anxious. This is where Apollo comes into play. Its vibrations accelerate mental and physical recovery from stress by signaling safety to the brain through the sense of touch.\n\n\"By rapidly inducing feelings of safety, it facilitates the body's return to equilibrium, essentially restoring the control of the fight-or-flight response through balancing activity in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. By using Apollo, people feel calmer and more in control of their situation.\"\n\nIt's clear Dr. Rabin and Dr. Siegle's work has gone through many iterations. The original research, known as \"PURRR\" (the vibrations do feel like a feline purring), focused on people suffering from the effects of PTSD. In early trials, researchers tested both a backpack-style wearable and wrist-mounted device, before settling on its current form factor.\n\nPURRR came second at the Pitt Innovation Challenge in 2017, winning $125,000, and the newly formed Apollo team has since supplemented this cash injection with an undisclosed seed and angel investing.\n\nWould I buy one? If the form factor gets sleeker, yes. A mood-altering wearable is certainly a good talking point, and who doesn't love a future-tech Blade Runner-style reference?\n\nHowever, on a personal note, I've been a meditator for 15 years and worked very hard to train my brain and modify my psyche. The idea of just dialing-a-demeanor is tricky for someone who has studied different Eastern modalities. But I've been around for a while. If I was young and fresh to the game of life, I'd probably be up for selecting a subsonic groove and letting it steer my shifts in mood.\n\nThe device is currently available for pre-order online for $199 (45 percent off the list price of $360). With that, you get the Apollo wearable, the free app with goal-based modes, and first access to new features. Devices will start shipping in January 2020."

"Are you holding on to obsolete knowledge?",
null,
"London has a unique way of licensing its official ‘black cab’ taxi drivers. They have to pass the ‘Knowledge’ – a test that requires you to memorize every street and landmark in central London, so that you can navigate between any two points in the city entirely from memory. This might require several years of personal study before you are subjected to a strict oral test. The system has been going on for more than 150 years.\n\nThe intention behind the test was great: well-informed taxi drivers who can get you through London’s labyrinthine streets as quickly as possible. It forced would-be taxi drivers to style up and put in the work. Acquiring this knowledge, and a London taxi license, led to a good outcome for taxi drivers: a secure income in a controlled industry. Cabbies would show this knowledge off with pride, and would use it secure their families’ futures.\n\nAnd what’s happening these days?\n\nThe Knowledge has been rendered obsolete, by something that’s freely available to anyone with a smartphone in their pocket. Google Maps is all you really need to know the best routes for getting somewhere. It even shows you all the expected traffic on your route in real time, and gives you step-by-step options for dodging jams.\n\nKnowledge which used to take years of study to acquire is now a simple click on a cheap, universal device. This has caused upheaval in the taxi industry all over the world. Digital mapping led to the arrival of taxi-hailing mobile apps, which heralded a huge increase in the number of drivers and taxi services. It’s a revolution in convenience and pricing. It’s far, far easier and far more affordable for an ordinary person to use taxi services.\n\nAcross the pond in New York, the famed taxi medallion used to cost more than a million dollars to acquire. Because the number of licensed cabs was limited by law, getting hold of a medallion cost a tidy sum. Drivers would save up and get loans to buy the precious medallion. Now, medallions are exchanging hands for less than a fifth of their peak value. Many drivers are being bankrupted by the very loans they took to acquire the once-precious license.\n\nThose cabbies are not alone. Many of us are holding onto knowledge we think is valuable, which we wear with pride, which took us many years and much money to acquire, and upon which we have built our futures. In many cases, I fear that knowledge will be rendered obsolete in the years to come.\n\nI write it often: if you are still talking about your degree or your university decades later, we can only imagine nothing much has been happening for you since.\n\nKnowledge is not a stagnating pond; it is an ever-shifting stream. Don’t be suckered into thinking of it as a one-time investment. That great teacher you had back then; the hours you put in; those great lessons you learnt; the doors that your qualifications opened for you; please leave all that behind. All you got was the opportunity to keep moving. Education is a not a cushion you sit on; it’s a launchpad that gives you a possible trajectory in your future.\n\nThe world keeps changing. New norms replace old ones; new technologies disrupt existing ones. Don’t be trapped in prisons created by your own mind and your misguided belief in pieces of paper from the past. Why did London’s cabbies need to memorize streets back in the 19th century? Because there was no other option available! Now that personalized mapping is universal, those rigours are not an advantage. In fact they become a disadvantage, because they make you resist the new ways militantly; and they cause you to underinvest in knowledge that actually matters for your future.\n\nIn the not-too-distant future, the taxi driver himself will be obsolete. The end-game of electric and autonomous vehicles is a driverless future. Then, even the ability to drive a vehicle will be superfluous.\n\nHow many obsolete forms of knowledge are you hanging grimly onto? Does your customer still need them; will the world of the future value them; is your past investment merely a sunk cost now?\n\nThe trick is to keep moving, keep adapting, keep watching the signs. Don’t be a sitting target for disruption. Be curious and inquisitive; stop harking back to better times and days of yore. Keep the windows of your mind open to the winds of change; keep investing in yourself: new skills, new tools, new ways of doing things."

"Aerial warfare has dominated war-making for over 100 years, and despite regular announcements of its demise, it shows no sign of becoming obsolete. In this Very Short Introduction Frank Ledwidge offers a sweeping look at the history of aerial warfare, introducing the major battles, crises, and controversies where air power has taken centre stage, and the changes in technology and air power capabilities over time. Highlighting the role played by air power in the First and Second World Wars, he also sheds light on the lesser-known theatres where the roles of air forces have been clearly decisive in conflicts, in Africa, South America, and Asia. Along the way, Ledwidge asks key questions about the roles air power can deliver, and whether it is conceptually different from other forms of combat. Considering whether bombing has ever been truly effective, he discusses whether wars can be won from the air, and concludes by analysing whether there is a future for manned air power, or if it is inevitable that drones will dominate 21st century war in the air. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. Previously published in hardback as Aerial Warfare: The Battle for the Skies."

"Blind Tiger is a band hailing from Norwich, England. With earnest vocals and stunning guitar hooks, their sound is a direct blend of alternative rock energy and pop melodies, echoing the work of influential performers such as Foo Fighters, Nickelback or Biffy Clyro, just to mention a few.\n\nThings have gone a long way ever since the group’s inception in 2009. Formed by best friends Charlie & Andy in high school, they brought this project from playing rock covers in a caravan, to writing their original songs to sharing music with an audience, as far as they could go.\n\nThey set out to refine their craft and improve the quality of their songwriting and live shows, to the same high standards you would expect from major acts touring the best venues. In 2016, Blind Tiger released a well-received EP titled, “Immortalized”, in collaboration with Grammy-nominated rock producer Chris ‘CT’ Tsangarides, who became a close mentor to the band.\n\nAs the group was working on their debut full-length album with the legendary producer, ‘CT’ sadly passed away in January 2018. Blind Tiger have now set out to continue the production process on their own, and to kick start their new journey the band have put out 2 new videos for songs titled “Born Ready” & “She”, in honour of Chris Tsangarides.\n\nThe band built their own recording studio, within Charlie’s house. Even going as far to build an isolation cupboard under a set of stairs big enough to house a guitar cabinet in order to record electric guitars. With the band’s experience working alongside a Grammy nominated producer, they’ve stood themselves in good stead to record a professional sounding album that they have 100% control over. They are proud to still have a bit of Chris’ influence in their music as the studio monitors they use to record, mix and master were straight from CT’s Ecology Rooms Studio. They released their debut album ‘Blind Tiger’ in 2020 which is now available to stream on all major streaming platforms!"

"And the sore loser, Never Trump TrueCon Cuck coup to overturn a presidential election ends not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with this pitiful gerbil-like squeak of despair from Jonah Goldberg:\n\nLook, I think Mueller had a bad day. I think his performance bolstered the case that his staff ran the show. But Mueller also demonstrated that he is a vastly better man than Trump. Trump heaps gross scorn on him for two years and Mueller refused a single ad hominem.\n\nAnd this is what the TrueCon (emphasis on “con”) Cuck Club has been reduced to, y’all — tone.\n\nOh, my, yes — it has come to this: the Mighty TrueCons will no longer judge individual character and vital national events of consequence on the concrete, on deeds, on actions, on intent. No, no, what matters now is tone — going forward, it will be hushed tones and the proper etiquette that win the day.\n\nRobert Mueller: Excuse me, good sir, would it be inconvenient if I were to rape your neighbor now?\n\nJonah Goldberg: Not at all. Muffy and I were just headed to the club for drin–\n\nBad Orange Man: Hey, what the hell! Get that scumbag off that girl!\n\nJonah Goldberg: This is a restricted club!\n\nThe last refuge of the pseudo-intellectual is snobbery.\n\nNo, Robert Mueller did not hurl insults. But in a desperate attempt to overturn a presidential election, he abdicated the cornerstone of American justice by introducing an all new standard called: presumed guilty until exonerated — and not exonerated by a jury, but by the prosecutor prosecuting the case. But…\n\nNo, Robert Mueller did not call anyone names. He only selectively prosecuted those associated with Trump for things like years-old tax evasion while making damn sure unimportant matters like forged FISA warrants, criminal media leaks, Russian involvement in the Steele Dossier, and the FBI spying on a presidential campaign remained outside his purview. But…\n\nAnd while Trump gave him every document (1.5 million), every penny, and every witness he asked for, it is true that Robert Mueller did not tweet anything polite society would consider “gauche,” but he did lie about not knowing what Fusion GPS is and took the Fifth (not in my purview) more times than a mob kingpin. But…\n\nAnd while it’s true Jonah Goldberg doesn’t use terms like “schlonged,” he did happily work for a National Review that took money from Google and then lobbied for them, did smear a perfectly innocent group of Catholic high school boys, and did public relations work for a child rapist. But…\n\nI wonder if Die Hard confuses poor Jonah… Does Jonah know who to root for? Does he know the crass, workaday, foul-mouthed smart ass is the hero and the effete, well-spoken terrorist is the villain?\n\nDoes Jonah Goldberg know he’s supposed to laugh at Fraser and Niles Crane?\n\nOr is Jonah’s oh-so sophisticated view of morality and decency simply beyond the mental grasp of us deplorables?",

"A bee sting is a painful and itchy process, but some natural home remedies can help ease the pain.\n\nIt’s good to have some bee sting treatment solutions on hand when the weather heats up and people spend more time outside. As you may know, a bee sting may originate from any variety of bees; however, a wasp sting is caused by a wasp. Bee stings are an annoyance and discomfort for most people, but they may be cured without medical assistance. “Only a small percentage of the population — one to two persons out of 1,000 — is allergic or hypersensitive to bee or wasp stings,” according to the University of California Integrated Pest Management Program.\n\nYou should not use a natural bee sting treatment if you are allergic to bee stings or if you have been bitten several times. Bee sting home remedies should not be used by anybody who has had a serious response to a bee sting. Breathing difficulties or throat constriction and other symptoms of a severe allergic reaction may occur. According to National Capital Poison Control, the most frequent “normal” response to a bee, wasp, yellow jacket, or hornet sting is not too bad. Pain, swelling, and itching are generally limited to the region where you were stung.\n\nI hope you won’t need any of the bee sting treatments I will mention. However, if you or a loved one gets stung by one of those buzzing honey producers, you’ll know just what to do if you read this article.\n\nWhen a bee stings you, it injects a deadly toxin into your body, which may produce unpleasant symptoms. Being stung by a bee is a regular occurrence. The sting will almost always be from a honey bee. In the United States, yellow jackets, which are really wasps rather than bees, are the most common cause of insect sting allergic responses.\n\nAccording to The National Capital poison Control in National Capital Poison Control, all “normal” sting symptoms occur at the sting site. Pain, swelling, redness, and itching are all possible side effects. All of the impacts are concentrated in that one location. It’s an anticipated response, not an allergic reaction if the region is still red, swollen, itchy, and painful the following day.\n\nA sting from a bee or wasp usually produces minimal symptoms at the sting location, such as:\n\nUsing a cortisone lotion or an antihistamine cream is common at this phase in the treatment of stings. Many individuals also use diphenhydramine (brand names include Benadryl) for extreme itching. If you want a natural bee sting treatment, the following are some of the best and most successful options:\n\nBaking soda has a plethora of applications and treatments. Baking soda is even used in the natural treatment of bee stings. Instead of using a traditional steroid or antihistamine cream, Poison Control recommends using baking soda and water paste. This simple but extremely efficient bee sting cure, which also works as a wasp sting remedy, should not be overlooked.\n\nApplying an ice pack to the region where you were stung is one of the simplest but most effective cures for a bee or wasp sting. The CDC also recommends ice as part of basic sting control for bees and wasps. Both inflammation and irritation will be relieved with the use of ice. It will also aid in drawing blood to the sting site, which will aid in the healing process.\n\nThe arms and legs are often stung. Elevate the injured limb if you’ve been stung on your arm or leg. Elevation will enable liquids to drain from the enlarged region where you were stung due to gravity.\n\nApple cider vinegar is another fantastic home bee sting remedy that you probably already have on hand. Apple cider vinegar may assist in neutralizing bee venom and so reduce undesired bee sting symptoms by being applied to the region where you were bitten. To apply apple cider vinegar to a bee sting, soak a non-sticky, absorbent pad or a bandage in the liquid and place it over the sting. That cushioned part will come into touch with the location where the stinger pierced your skin in this manner. You may also soak a clean piece of cloth in apple cider vinegar for 15 to 20 minutes and apply it to the affected region.\n\nSo, although a honeybee may have been the source of your throbbing sting, the honeybee’s products may also aid in relieving inflammation and itching. It may also aid in the prevention of infection. I’m talking about honey, and raw honey, in particular, is recommended because of its increased anti-inflammatory enzyme content. 22 amino acids, 27 minerals, and 5,000 enzymes are found in raw honey. The enzyme glucose oxidase creates hydrogen peroxide when honey is administered to a sting site or lesion. This makes bacteria’s habitat uninhabitable. A tiny quantity of high-quality honey may be applied to the stung location, covered with a loose bandage, and left on for an hour or less. You may repeat this as often as necessary throughout the day.\n\nWhen it comes to all the ways witch hazel may reduce inflammatory skin concerns, the list goes on and on. Witch hazel is an astringent prepared from the witch hazel plant’s leaves and bark. As required, administer witch hazel directly to the sting location.\n\nBecause charcoal stains everything it comes into contact with, you may wish to cover the sting area with a bandage after applying the mixture. You may also use my DIY Healing Poultice Remedy, which my grandmother used to treat my bee stings when I was a youngster.\n\nCaution and Possible Side Effects\n\nA bee sting may produce anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic response. Anaphylaxis often manifests as acute itching of the eyes or face at first. More severe symptoms might emerge within minutes, including:\n\nIf you have any signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis, you should seek medical attention immediately. If anaphylaxis is not treated promptly enough, it may result in shock, coma, and even death.\n\nAccording to Mayo Clinic, most bee stings do not need a trip to the emergency department or a visit to your doctor. However, in more critical situations, you should seek medical attention right once. Call 911 if you have a severe response to a bee sting and just one or two symptoms that imply anaphylaxis. Use it as soon as possible if you’ve been given an emergency epinephrine autoinjector (such as an EpiPen®). A person who has had a severe allergic response to a bee sting has a 30 to 60% probability of developing anaphylaxis the following time they are bitten. Adults’ responses are also more severe than children’s. In addition, adults are more likely than children to die from anaphylaxis.\n\nIf bees have swarmed you and stung you many times, get medical attention right away. Several stings may constitute a medical emergency in toddlers, the elderly, and those with heart or breathing difficulties. Even those who aren’t allergic to bee stings, wasp, or bee stings in the mouth or nose need immediate medical attention since stings in these regions may cause swelling and make breathing difficult.\n\nItching from bee stings is common, but rubbing them may lead to illness. Contact your doctor immediately if your minor bee-stung symptoms don’t go away after a few days or if you’re experiencing additional allergic reactions.\n\nIf you have any concerns about how to treat a sting or if you or someone you know is suffering an allergic response, you may contact Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 at any time.\n\nAccording to the CDC, there are several things you can do to avoid being stung in the first place, such as:\n\nWhat is the fastest way to cure a bee sting?\n\nA: We recommend that you contact a doctor immediately if you have been stung by bees. In the meantime, ice applied to the sting will help reduce pain and swelling in most cases.",

"Two terror hideouts were busted along the Line of Control in Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir and a huge cache of arms and ammunition recovered after the army launched a search operation, a defence spokesperson said on Tuesday.\n\nIt seems, the modus operandi was to drop arms and ammunition in caches near the LoC so that the overground workers or terrorists pick the same for carrying out their activities in the hinterland, the spokesperson said.\n\nIt shows the desperate attempts by Pakistan-based terror groups to infiltrate weapons into Jammu and Kashmir for terror activities with the active connivance of Pakistan Army, he added.\n\nHe said the movement was from a village close to the LoC and the suspects crossed into Indian territory.\n\nCol Kalia said the next morning, a search of the area was carried out and after an extensive search of seven hours, a huge cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from well-concealed locations in two hideouts in Rampur Sector.\n\nThe defence spokesman said the area has villages ahead of the anti-infiltration fence and the suspected modus operandi is to drop war-like stores in caches near the LoC, wherefrom the overground workers or militants would pick the same for further transportation into the hinterland for terror activities.\n\nHe said similar attempts were made on July 22, when inputs were received regarding likely weapon drop along the LoC ahead of the anti-infiltration fence.\n\n\"During the search operation in the same sector, one AKS-74U with magazines, five pistols (one with Chinese markings) and magazines, 24 grenades & other warlike stores were recovered,\" Col Kalia said.\n\nThe spokesperson said the modus operandi shows desperate attempts by Pakistan-based militant groups to infiltrate weapons into J-K for terror activities, with the active connivance of Pakistan Army.\n\nRobust surveillance and Line of Control domination activities will continue to deny all such misadventures, he added.",

"Samsung is gearing up to launch a new ultra-slim smartphone, the Galaxy A8, in the very near future, and the company is finding it difficult to contain leaks. The latest leaked information on the A8 comes from SamMobile, essentially giving us a complete picture of what hardware the handset will include.\n\nAccording to SamMobile's sources, the Galaxy A8 will come with a new 16-megapixel ISOCELL camera sensor, the LSI3P3, which is said to be one of Samsung's slimmest rear camera modules yet. The LSI3P3 has a pixel size of just 1.0 µm but a module thickness of only 5mm: 23% thinner than the Galaxy S6's Sony IMX240 sensor at the expense of larger pixels.\n\nInternally the Galaxy A8 will pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC with eight CPU cores and 64-bit support, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of storage. The handset will also come with a 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display at 386 PPI, a five megapixel front facing camera, and Android 5.1.1 on board.\n\nThe Galaxy A8 is set to be Samsung's slimmest device ever at just 5.9mm thick, featuring a metal body similar to its predecessors. Curiously, Samsung will somehow be able to fit a 3,050 mAh battery inside this device, at least according to various reports.\n\nConsidering the Galaxy A8 has already passed through the FCC, and basically all of its specifications have been revealed, the handset's official launch shouldn't be too far away.\n\nSo much for J.K. Shin's plan to shrink Samsung's mobile operations and streamline their portfolio. This seems like the exact opposite of that plan. Lots of people have been saying that Samsung is acting like they're simply throwing stuff at the wall hoping that it sticks.\n\nIf you ask me, Samsung should have three phone models; ONE low end model, the Galaxy S series, and the Galaxy Note series. Done. No more, no less. Concentrate on their core models and stop trying to chase every little niche corner of the market. HTC learned this lesson, Samsung needs to as well. Apple has this lesson down as well, three models per year and that's it.\n\nWhat I wanna know is what will the Note 5 have; will it have a slot for a microSD slot and will it have the USB Type C connector? I wonder if it will use the \"new\" battery tech that was reported on just the other day?? hmmm\nYou must log in or register to reply here."

"So, I’ve read the first two books in your series, P.A.W.S. as well as a few of the short stories. They’re all great. Can you tell us about them?\n\nThe first two books of the series, P.A.W.S. and Argentum are out and I’m currently working on books 3 and 4. (I’m not sure how many books there will be in the end). It’s a YA fantasy that focuses on an international organization of shapeshifters, The Partnership of Animagi, Werewolves and Shapeshifters (otherwise known as P.A.W.S.) I’m also releasing a series of short stories that tie in with the series, Tales from P.A.W.S. both as individual ebooks and as a combined paperback.\n\nWhen I’m not writing fiction I write puzzles for magazines and my website Paws 4 Puzzles and in early 2015 I published a book of logic problems, Paws 4 Logic together with my son, Joey.\n\nYou have so many wonderful characters. I know who my favorite is, who’s yours?\n\nI have a particular fondness for Joey, the animagus kangaroo Australian exchange student as I based this character off of my son who shares a lot of his characteristics.\n\nMy absolute favorite character however first appears in Argentum. He’s Gromer the Green – an old Welsh warlock with a fondness for pea soup (don’t forget the wizzlewoop). Gromer will be coming back in book 3 and I also plan sometime in the future to give him his own tale.\n\nYour main character, Miri, is a shapeshifter that can turn into a cat. Do I sense some major cat love? What made you choose this animal over all the other ones we see in paranormal fiction these days?\n\nWell first of all I need to point out that there are many different animals that are part of P.A.W.S. – everything from toads, to snakes, to flamingoes! But yes, cats do hold a special place in my heart and Miri is a cat because if I were a shapeshifter that’s the form I would take. Danny (also a cat animagus) explains it best – cats are known for being able to blend into the shadows and have a magic all of their own.\n\nSo, Alistair – he’s the ultimate bad guy. For those who haven’t read your books, can you give a little background on him? What goes into creating a villain?\n\nOh yes, Alistair. You may be surprised to know that Alistair wasn’t even in my original idea for P.A.W.S., rather Miri’s Uncle David was going to be the main antagonist, but a few chapters in Alistair emerged and basically made the story all about him.\n\nBut there’s a lot more to Alistair then first meets the eye. I don’t believe that anyone is evil in a vacuum. There’s always a reason, and Alistair has his reasons. That’s why I wrote his origin story, Alistair, in Tales from P.A.W.S.\n\nOh yes, Alistair was my favorite short story of yours. How do you walk that line between a villain that readers just hate, and one that’s a little more complex? A little more fun?\n\nDespite his evil, I think readers are drawn to Alistair – just like Nora and his pack are in his story. He’s attractive and has a charisma that shines out beyond his magic. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, but the one part of the series I personally felt was weak was how Voldemort was drawn. There’s really no part of the series when we empathize with him and he’s mostly in the shadows while others, Snape, Malfoy, Umbridge take on the real role as villain.\n\nWere there alternate endings that you considered?\n\nNot really for P.A.W.S. – I have a clear vision of the ending of the whole series and have even written the final epilogue – but I have only a vague notion of how we’re going to get there, but I’m looking forward to the journey.\n\nWhat authors have inspired you to write?\n\nOn a personal level after I wrote P.A.W.S. I took my prologue to a local writer’s group. Those writers who have since become my friends were probably my biggest inspiration. I also had the good fortune to meet Ben Reeder at a science fiction conference last fall. Ben, an indie author, who has been able to earn a living wage from his paranormal and zombie books is a huge inspiration. He proves that with good writing and a little luck it is possible to really succeed as an indie.\n\nI think there are very few of us that haven’t been influenced by JK Rowling. I know I was. What age were you when you started writing?\n\nI’ve been writing ever since I was a kid. I sent one of my stories about a day when I turned into a ladybug to the Puffin Post when I was around eight years old and got a mention in the magazine.\n\nDo you ever experience the dreaded writer’s block?\n\nA little – usually when I do I’ll go for a walk and take my writing out to a coffee shop or McDonald’s. I’ll write the old fashioned way then in a notebook and I’ll people watch. I love people watching – and yes a lot of those folk end up in my stories.\n\nDo you work with an outline, or just write?\n\nI’m mostly a discovery writer. I have a vague outline in my head, but not usually on paper.\n\nDo you ever get sad when you realize that the characters that you’ve created aren’t real?\n\nWhat do you mean they aren’t real?!\n\nHere are a couple of fun questions! If you were a super hero, what would your super power be?\n\nI want “Mary Poppins” power. The ability to snap my fingers and have the house clean itself so I have more time to write!\n\nIf you could have any accent from anywhere in the world, what would you choose?\n\nThat’s an odd question. I grew up in London so (at least when I’m in the US) I have an East London accent. It’s not a posh accent – I don’t speak the “Queen’s English” and neither would I want to – but I find it strange how many Americans tell me they “like my accent”. The other thing that’s strange to me is when I go to England my friends there tell me that I now have a slight American twang to my accent. I, of course, can’t hear it all, but I believe they are right.\n\nI have a friend who also grew up in England but while I moved to America he moved to Australia. A few months ago he posted a video of an interview he did on Australian TV and I was dumbfounded; to my ear at least he had lost every trace of his English accent and sounded completely Aussie!\n\nCan you tell us about your challenges in getting your first book published?\n\nWhen I first wrote P.A.W.S. I wrote it for myself. I had the story burning inside me and I knew it needed to come out. I only started thinking about publishing after I took my prologue to a local writer’s group. With trepidation I read it aloud and was amazed by the response. The writers in the group loved it and told me I needed to publish and one of those writers was Robin Tidwell of Rocking Horse Publishing. I knew nothing about the publishing process at the time and RHP gave me my chance for which I am truly grateful. They published P.A.W.S. and a year later the sequel, Argentum.\n\nIn the meantime I met more writers both online and off and started learning about what indie publishing really entailed and in spring of 2015 ventured into self-publishing on Createspace when I published together with my son our puzzle book, Paws 4 Logic. I discovered that not only could I self-publish I also enjoyed the process and the freedom it gave me to set my own publication dates, choose my own covers and generally be in control.\n\nWhen my original contract expired with RHP for P.A.W.S. I thought long and hard and decided not to renew with RHP and in September 2015 I rereleased P.A.W.S. with a new cover and bonus bits. I’m grateful for the chance RHP gave me originally, but today I’m happy to be self-pubbed.\n\nIf you had to go back and do it all over, is there any aspect of your novel or getting it published that you would change?\n\nI would have done some of the social media stuff in advance. Set up a blog, had a blog tour, online release party, stuff like that. When I was brand new at this I had no idea about the marketing side.\n\nCan you tell us about your upcoming book?\n\nI have a few upcoming projects. Firstly I’ll be releasing my three Tales from P.A.W.S. – Alistair, Ramora and Griddlebone – together in their own small paperback. I’m also working on a collection of my flash fiction stories, Tea and Dark Chocolate, that all being well will release sometime in the next few months.\n\nThen there are my picture books, Adana the Earth Dragon and Cecilia’s Tale. Both of these are out with illustrators at the moment and I’m very excited about the stories. Adana is the tale of a small brown dragon who discovers that she can do big things. Cecilia was my cat in Israel and this is the story of how she found and adopted me.\n\nFinally towards the end of the year I will republish Argentum and then the third part of the P.A.W.S. series, Umbrae. In Umbrae (which is currently out with my beta readers) Miri will travel to Israel and discover the secret of the purple book with Argentum on its cover that she first received in New York from the old crone.\n\nHow do you deal with criticism of your work?\n\nI try to take it in my stride. Not every book is for everyone and that’s OK.\n\nDo you have any advice to give to aspiring writers?\n\nTry NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). It helps me a lot to set aside the month of November, (and April and July for Camp NaNo) to write. For just month at a time I can concentrate on my writing and let the other stuff slide. Also the social aspect of cheering each other on really helps me and I’ve made some good friends through my local NaNo group.\n\nHow important do you think reading is to your writing?\n\nEssential. I truly don’t understand folks who don’t read. I read constantly and I think it helps me be a better writer.\n\nDo you have any strange writing habits?\n\nI must have a mug of tea with milk at all times!\n\nWhat is your biggest fear?\n\nThat I don’t make it to the end of my series. I’m a cancer survivor. I understand that we’re all mortal. P.A.W.S. is my little bit of immortality that I want to leave with the world and really hope that by the time I check out my story is complete."

"UK based duo Mt. Wolf have collaborated with Henry Green to deliver an emotive single in ‘Baja’. Written and released in conjunction with a film about a whale sanctuary based in Baja California, Mexico, this track is about showcasing the power of protecting the environment and the beauty in turning a once destructive place, into a place of sanctuary and conservation.\n\nBorn from a one night session in an attic studio in Malmesbury UK, the track uses a combination of huge keys and synthesizers with a reverberated vocal orchestration that is alluring and powerful. The song perfectly captures the enormous beauty of whales and also tugs at the heartstrings of any environmentally conscious human. It’s a flawless musical accompaniment to a feelgood story of conservation and demonstrates both artists’ knack for creating meaningful music. The track was mixed by Tristan Hoogland (James Blake, SG Lewis, Golden Vessel), and mastered by Kevin Tuffy (Headie One, Honne, Matt Maltese).\n\nThe corresponding film to this track, made by underwater cinematographer Perrin James, follows the story of the whale sanctuary in Baja California, Mexico, the second-longest peninsula on Earth spanning over 1200km. The film also features freediver Morgan Mathers. The film and the music work together perfectly and is an example of rich storytelling and the power that sound and visuals have in creating an emotional response.\n\nPerrin says of the collaboration that “We had been filming this one for a while but the biggest missing piece is Morgan interacting with humpback whales and the wildlife down in Baja California. There is a grey whale sanctuary that used to be a place where they were slaughtered. We want to show that with protection there are little success stories around the world. There is another intertwining piece and that’s Morgan’s reconnection with Mexico and the people there. We want to show a reconnecting of cultures intertwined with a story of hope of these once endangered animals.”\n\nThis isn’t the first time Mt. Wolf and Perrin and Morgan have collaborated, previously working on a film for their track ‘Burgs’, which was particularly influential and inspiring to the yoga, mindfulness and wellbeing community around the world.\n\nMt. Wolf are a dream pop trio from the UK formed in 2011. The trio have always had a knack for creating dreamy, mystical pop music with an environmental edge and have worked with producers including Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós, M83) on their impressive discography. The band have amassed over 25 million streams across their releases and have worked with Henry Greenpreviously on tracks including ‘Tayrona’ which amassed over 1.3 million streams across platforms.\n\nHenry Green is an electronic artist based in Bristol, UK with a history of stunning ambient music following his sophomore album release ‘Half Tide’. Henry Green has worked with Flying Lotus collaborator Andreya Triana and icon Bonobo on releases including ‘Tide’ which has seen the artist accrue over 70+ million streams across his discography. The album received praise from Clash Music, Line of Best Fit, NPR, Redbull and more.",

"I haven’t seen the original interview on Smash TV; just this summary of it on The Malta Independent. But I can’t fault anything in what Alfred Sant is being quoted as saying.\n\nHe focused his attention on the Parliamentary Opposition because that is what he was talking about. He may or may not agree with me that it is far from the only institution designed to keep the government in check that is failing us.\n\nJust because the lament has been repeated before we cannot look away from the fact that our police has been turned into an armed branch of the Labour Party; that judges are being selected and promoted as a gift of partisan policy; that the prosecutor has delegated his discretion at law to the will and interest of the prime minister.\n\nThe list goes on: planning has become a misnomer and environmental sustainability has been ranked beneath alchemy; financial regulators are overseeing the transformation of a financial services hub into a den of thieves; take your pick.\n\nThe functioning of our democracy requires the organs of the state to operate in opposition to the executive, snapping at its excesses and punishing illegalities.\n\nBecause saying we are a democracy is not enough. If that’s all we were we’d gather in the streets and decide whether to pay taxes and save the drowning and feed the poor by the showing of hands. And I don’t think we’d be paying taxes or saving the drowning or feeding the poor if that’s how we decided things. We’d be even more like Lord of the Flies than we already are.\n\nThis is not just a democracy. This is a republic: based on rules and laws that apply to all, even those enjoying popular support.\n\nThe institution in our republic with the most explicit responsibility to oppose the government is the Parliamentary Opposition. It is not expected even to be objective, neutral, or balanced. Its job is to seek out the loopholes, point out the fly, throw light on the bad news and provide the public with an alternative. It needs to be bad to be good. It needs to be negative to affirmatively fulfil its vocation.\n\nAlfred Sant does not buy into the official line of the government that a critical opposition is ‘negative’. But the Opposition does.\n\nHe also makes a valid point the blame for which cannot be laid solely on the present administration of the PN. The Opposition party looks like it lacks human resources. For anyone to decide to vote PN when they hadn’t before — assuming people would do so for the right reasons — they will want to look beyond the qualities of the party leader.\n\nDoubts about those qualities abound but the issue is bigger than he is. People will need to decide that the PN’s offer for Finance Minister or Health Minister or Education Minister, and so on, is more appealing than the incumbents.\n\nAs Alistair Campbell recently said of the present UK Labour Party, the PN should be having a field day. Labour is grossly overrated in government. Its policies are unimaginative, its economic performance relies on the decimation of the environment and the rape and plunder of our international reputation, its social conscience is Baroque. So why isn’t the PN shooting through the polls ceiling?\n\nAlfred Sant wonders if capable people would rather make money in business than work within the PN. It’s a good explanation but facile because unless Alfred Sant is acknowledging Labour politicians are in it for the money — perhaps he is — the fact that politics pays poorly should be impacting all parties equally.\n\nThere are deeper reasons. The long permanence in government means younger generations are as tainted as the old. Since 2013 the PN has gone through several pogroms decimating its own ranks in order to look untainted. It seems like they haven’t had enough.\n\nIts detachment with its own past, perhaps the process of dispensing with its greatest asset, has had the effect of dismantling the resources the party used to have before new ones could be engaged.\n\nThe PN is also ideologically confused, lacks political focus that would make it an obvious place for like-minded people to gravitate to. The PN pursues applause but it hasn’t yet written the speech it wants to deliver.\n\nCan the PN turn itself around and fill the void it is leaving? Does it want to?\n\nAll that is secondary. The real question is can we have a democracy if we do not have a choice?"

"Editor’s Note: The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit blog series is a collection of posts discussing efforts to strengthen ties between the United States and Africa ahead of the first continent-wide summit. On August 4, Brookings will host “The Game Has Changed: The New Landscape for Innovation and Business in Africa,” at which these themes and more will be explored by prominent experts. Click here to register for the event.\n\nOn the second day of President Obama’s three-day U.S.-Africa Leaders’ Summit, the U.S. Department of Commerce and Bloomberg Philanthropies will convene the inaugural U.S.-Africa Business Forum. This event represents an unprecedented occasion for U.S. and African heads of state to meet with business leaders and discuss ways of catalyzing new, continent-wide trade and investment opportunities.\n\nAs the summit draws closer, the Brookings Institution’s Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) has reviewed and compared economic relations between sub-Saharan African countries and some of their major commercial partners: the U.S., China, the European Union (EU) and Japan. In this second installment of the Africa Leaders Summit series, AGI examines the trends of U.S. foreign direct investment in the region and proposes potential topics of focus for the forum, to help inform the participants on the key investment issues.",

"FDI to sub-Saharan Africa has increased substantially, in part driven by China, but remains low compared to other regions.\n\nSince 2000, global FDI stock in sub-Saharan Africa has increased dramatically, from over $33.5 billion to $246.4 billion in 2012. According to analysis of UNCTAD’s Bilateral FDI Statistics (2014) [1], the EU, China, Japan and the U.S accounted for approximately 54 percent of the stock of FDI in the region in 2012. South-South investment was also important and included partners such as South Africa (9 percent), Singapore (6 percent), India (5 percent) and Mauritius (5 percent).\n\nFive EU member countries —France (38 percent), the U.K. (31 percent), Germany (8 percent), Belgium (8 percent)—accounted for over 80 percent of the EU’s share of FDI stock in the region. While the EU is considered the largest of the four partners in terms of FDI stock, when the EU is disaggregated by country, the U.S. and France were the largest sources of FDI stock for sub-Saharan Africa in 2012 at $31 billion each, followed by the U.K. with $25 billion. Yet, even though the U.S. is one of the top contributors of FDI stock to sub-Saharan Africa, less than 1 percent (0.7 percent) of the U.S.’s global FDI stock abroad is destined for the region. The U.S primarily invests its $367 billion of FDI in Europe (55 percent), Latin America (13 percent), Canada (8 percent), and other developed countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Israel and Japan (13 percent collectively). Similarly, the EU and Japan direct only 0.8 and 0.2 percent of their FDI, respectively, toward sub-Saharan African countries abroad. China, on the other hand, invested 3.4 percent of its FDI stock abroad in the region in 2012.",

"Predominantly resource-rich countries—South Africa with its precious metals and minerals as well as Nigeria with its oil reserves—receive a majority of FDI, indicating that natural resources remain a significant factor in attracting investors to the continent. For example, the main sectors in which the U.S. and China both invested in sub-Saharan Africa were the mining and extractive industries, comprising approximately 58 percent and 30.6 percent of each country’s FDI stock to the region, respectively, in 2011. [2] However, financial services, manufacturing and construction also received notable shares of FDI stock from both countries. China’s reported FDI composition was more diversified than the composition of U.S. FDI, with 19.5 percent in financial services, 16.4 percent in construction, 15.3 percent in manufacturing, and the remaining 18.2 percent in business and tech services, geological prospecting, wholesale retail, agriculture and real estate. U.S. FDI was concentrated 12 percent in finance and insurance, 5 percent in manufacturing and 25 percent in other industries. Despite this emphasis on mining and extractive industries in 2012, according to the World Investment Report of 2014, international investors are increasingly looking to new opportunities in consumer-oriented sectors (such as information technology, foods, financial services and wholesale retail) that target the region’s expanding middle class.\n\nAlong with the appetite for mineral resources, energy and other returns that drew massive investment into Africa, we compared the status of the quality of governance in the countries where the U.S., Japan, the EU and China invested in 2012.\n\nInvesting in countries with relatively higher governance performance can reflect at least three concerns: (i) the investors’ level of risk aversion, (ii) the pursuit of democratic principles or non-ideological relationship based on non-interference, and (iii) the level of pressure from global consumers, who are increasingly scrutinizing their choices along the global value chains according to the respect of governance indicators, such as respect for human rights.\n\nWe used the World Governance Indicators [3] in 2012 produced by Kaufman, Kraay and Mastruzzi, which cover six dimensions of governance: voice accountability, rule of law, government effectiveness, political stability, regulatory quality, and control of corruption. The governance index ranges from -2.5 (weak) to 2.5 (strong governance performance). In 2012, Botswana and Mauritius top the list with a score of governance performance of 0.71 and 0.66 respectively, while Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are at the bottom with a respective score of -1.35 and -1.74.",
null,
"Our computed levels of average governance indicators (weighted by the share of total FDI flows in the host countries between 2001 and 2012) are comparable across the EU, U.S. and China. Japan’s investment is concentrated in South Africa where the overall governance performance is high. When we disaggregated the EU by individual member countries, France has the largest share of investment in countries with the lowest levels of governance.\n\nGiven its focus on oil-producing countries with low governance levels, the U.S. is comparable to other regions. Importantly, however, the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act, requires public disclosure of payments at the project level from listed companies, involved in extractive industries. Other initiatives require companies to eliminate conflict minerals from their supply chains. For instance, the use of coltan originating from the DRC and neighboring countries is effectively banned. UNCTAD data actually show no record of U.S. investment stock in the DRC from 2007 onwards. The EU has a similar set of policies manifested in its Accounting and Transparency Directives. Furthermore, the U.S., along with China, the EU and Japan, is a participant in the Kimberley Process, which has banned the sale of “blood diamonds.” Other transparency initiatives supported by the U.S. include the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Rules on Combating Corruption. [4]\n\nBilateral investment treaties (BITs) are agreements signed between countries aiming to promote FDI by ensuring certain guarantees [5]—against expropriation, for example—for investors in unstable business environments. BITs are low-cost options to encourage business climate reform while simultaneously signaling investor commitment to host countries and providing them with policy space to design and implement their development agendas. These BITs and other international investment arrangements (IIAs) have proliferated widely over the past 50 years: the total number of BITs globally reached 2,902 [6] in 2013 with the number of sub-Saharan Africa-specific BITs comprising at least 300 of these treaties.\n\nAccording to Benjamin Leo from the Center for Global Development, it is in part due to the U.S.’s limited “negotiating capacity”—it has only a few foreign commercial officers on the ground to negotiate these treaties, whereas the EU and China have distributed delegations of commercial attachés at offices and embassies in nearly all African countries. The U.S. has also focused its efforts on establishing trade and investment framework agreements (TIFAs) in the region, which provide a forum for engaging in discussions on trade and investment, but do not confer protections on investors or indicate a serious commitment to host countries since they are not legally binding. Furthermore, the U.S. Model BIT, which it uses in its negotiations, is a very dense and complicated legal document, which is difficult for many countries to review and discuss without adequate legal support (that some of them lack). These compounding factors hinder the U.S. from establishing mutually beneficial investment agreements with countries in sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nThere is ample scope to expand the U.S.’s investment strategy with Africa. The U.S. funnels less than 1 percent of its FDI abroad toward the region, and it invests largely in only a few countries and sectors. While the perceived risks of investing in Africa have historically been high, rates of return have also proven to be high, averaging 11.4 percent on inward FDI for the period 2006-2011 (compared with 5 percent for developed countries) [9]. UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2013 also reported that four of the top 20 economies with the highest rates of return on inward FDI in 2011 were in sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nAt the same time, African policymakers should engage the U.S. authorities and its private sector to:\n\n[1] The FDI data were collected from UNCTAD’s publically available Bilateral Investment Statistics database, 2014, which provides bilateral, geographically disaggregated data on stocks and flows from 2001-2012. Our analysis specifically focused on outward FDI or FDI abroad, originating from our selected partners and destined for sub-Saharan African countries. Data on the European Union was aggregated for all EU member countries (at time of accession).\n\n[2] Figures based on Chinese White Paper on Economic Cooperation (2013) and a 2012 CRS paper entitled “U.S. Trade and Investment Relations with sub-Saharan Africa and the African Growth and Opportunity Act.” Data for the EU and Japan were not available.\n\n[3] The Mo Ibrahim Foundation also produces governance performance indices specifically from sub-Saharan African countries that monitor changes in 182 indicators of governance from judicial process independence to equity of access to public services. Their index scores range from 0 to 100, where 100 is the best possible score. Mauritius (83) and Botswana (78) had the strongest governance performance while the Democratic Republic of the Congo (31) and Eritrea (32) had the worst performance.\n\n[4] The U.S. is a candidate country for EITI and is also a supporting government stakeholder in the initiative, but is not yet on record as being an EITI compliant country.\n\n[5] According to the Office of the United States Trade Representative, these include most-favored-nation treatment for investors, protection against expropriation and/or provision of adequate compensation, the right to transfer investment funds using market-based exchange rates, limitations on performance requirements, the authority to choose their top managerial personnel and access to international arbitration to settle investment disputes.\n\n[7] Data on BITs are from UNCTAD’s country-specific list of BITs, however, the Chinese White Paper on Economic Cooperation (2013) states that China has signed more than 30 BITs.\n\n[8] This includes Benin, Chad, the DRC, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia, Seychelles (not yet entered into force) and Uganda.\n\n[10] Sustainable-development-oriented features include measures explicitly stating that that countries should not take measure to promote investment that would harm health, safety and environmental standards. They also ensure public policy space for host countries and minimize exposure to investment arbitration.\n\nAfter the US-Africa Leaders Summit, the US must ensure accountability and strengthen coordination\n\nBiden’s Africa strategy seeks to revitalize ties with the continent"

"September 2017 has been an active and violent hurricane season in the Atlantic tropical zone. Most of this post was written following Hurricane Harvey, and before Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Hurricane Harvey dumped record-setting volumes of rain on the south Texas coast. Hurricanes Irma and Maria, occurring in a two-week period, were the strongest hurricanes on record in the open Atlantic Ocean. For many years, researchers have warned that climate change would produce stronger hurricanes -- it seems that the future has arrived.\n\nIn the simplest analysis, I would ask the following question. Is it more likely that Hurricane Harvey was a completely natural, unlikely event with a probability of 1:1000, or is it more likely that the storm was made worse by climate change, according to well-understood physical principles and predicted by scientists for over two decades?",
null,
"------\nIn August 2017, Houston Texas became the face of climate change. More than 20 inches of rain fell over an area of 28,949 square miles; > 30 inches over 11,492 square miles; and > 40 inches over 3643 square miles. The maximum rainfall of 52 inches broke the record for rainfall from a single storm in the contiguous United States. The intensely flooded area received 11 ½ cubic miles of water. Within a few days, over 300,000 people had already filed claims for federal disaster assistance, and many more are likely to require assistance in the future. The immediate death toll from the storm was 82, and illnesses relating to the storm are expected to persist for years.",

"Climate change is often represented in terms of polar bear on melting ice; of changing migration patterns for wildlife; of seemingly trivial changes in long-term average temperatures; of higher sea level in the next century. All of those are true and real. But for many Americans, these issues do not impact their lives. None of this matters in terms of day-to-day living.\n\nHurricane Harvey is different. It has been called a 1000-year flood by scientists. This is an expression of the probability of an event of this magnitude in a given year, based on statistics of smaller events. The storm dropped an awe-inspiring quantity of water on the earth, and America’s fourth-largest city was totally disrupted. There was certainly no economic productivity from the city for a week, and the damages are considerable. When floodwaters threatened to destroy Houston's earthen flood-control dams, emergency managers opened the floodgates, deliberately flooding neighborhoods downstream of the dams, to save other neighborhoods in a kind of triage. An estimated 100,000 homes were flooded or damaged by the storm. Many of them will be totally destroyed after sitting in flood waters for a month. The human toll in lives and economic loss is huge.\n\nThe damage is personal to me; two of my three former houses in Houston almost certainly flooded. Old friends and former neighbors are dealing with the loss of their homes, cars, and lifelong possessions. A number of deaths occurred in familiar neighborhoods",

"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2014 Report includes this statement: “It is very likely that heat waves will occur more often and last longer, and that extreme precipitation events will become more intense and frequent in many regions.”\n\nOn August 27, 2017, the National Weather Service tweeted this statement regarding Hurricane Harvey: “This event is unprecedented & all impacts are unknown & beyond anything experienced. Follow orders from officials to ensure safety. #Harvey”. [Emphasis mine.]\n\nThese statements are not unrelated.\n\nScientific Analysis\nThe full scientific analysis of Hurricane Harvey will not be known for a long time, probably years. And uncertainties will remain after the full analysis of all available data. There are a number of known factors relating to climate change which will increase hurricane severity – it is simply physics. These factors include higher temperatures at the ocean surface, higher temperatures in the upper 200 meters of the ocean, and higher humidity. The factors are well-established -- the changing temperature of ocean waters have been observed by NOAA’s ARGO system of buoys since 2004, and by satellite since the 1980s. Some scientists have also suggested that climate change is reducing the strength of upper level winds, though this proposal is not yet considered proved.\n\nHigher temperatures at the ocean surface are believed to have caused a rapid, late intensification of the storm from category 2 to category 4 immediately before landfall.\n\nHigher temperatures in the water column are believed to have reduced the tendency of wave action to bring cooler water to the surface, weakening the hurricane.\n\nAt this time, it is unknown how much wind systems have changed due to climate change, or how much these changes might have affected Hurricane Harvey. Hurricane Harvey stalled after moving onshore, caught between stationary high-pressure systems. High-level winds, which sometimes reduce convection through wind shear, were also weak through the hurricane. Quantifying these impacts using new observations and modeling is the job ahead for scientists.\n\nThe specific magnitude of these changes is unknown, but the known factors contributing to the severity of the hurricane are clear. According to one preliminary estimate, factors relating to climate change increased the volume of rainfall from Hurricane Harvey by 30%. While this may seem to be only a moderate increment, thirty percent of extra water is what exceeded the capacity of flood-control reservoirs, caused neighborhoods to flood, and caused a number of deaths.\n\nConclusion\nThe earliest warning that climate change could result in more frequent and severe hurricanes was published in 1992, and incorporated into the IPCC Second Assessment Report. At that time, there was sparse statistical evidence that hurricanes were becoming worse. In 2017, statistical evidence is still weak. However, science is not all about empiricism. Explanations matter. We understand the physical processes of hurricane convection, the Coriolis effect, and the importance of water temperature, air temperature, humidity and air density. We have observed that these factors are changing due to accumulating greenhouse heat, and will increase the frequency and intensity of hurricanes.\n\nAt this time, we do not know the specific amount that climate change contributed to the Hurricane Harvey disaster. But there is a simple, shortcut analysis that we can do now. Simply consider which possibility is more likely: whether Hurricane Harvey was an extreme event with a probability of 1:1000, or whether climate change intensified an ordinary storm, as predicted by scientists for over twenty years?",

"Letting the grip loosen on his ‘one-man-band’ approach, Jacob Collier took to the sold-out stage of Gorilla, with band in tow, to produce a magical and memorable music experience that will no doubt divide opinions.\n\nLeaping onto stage with the grin of an over-excited child, Collier immediately set the tone for what was to come, encouraging the audience to respond in a call-and-response-like fashion to his virtuosic scat chants. We, as an audience, immediately felt part of his band, integral to the show as one of his fellow accompanists on-stage.\n\nCollier asked, “How many musicians do we have in the audience tonight?” and was met with an eruptive wave of shooting hands from a pick ‘n’ mix of concert-goers, young, old, hippy, and even suited businessmen. This is typical of the two-time Grammy award winner’s musical style unsettled in any genre, as an effusive explosion of converging sound-worlds if you like. It was clear from the get-go that this was a concert by an effervescent progressive musician suited for the musical intellectuals out there.\n\nKicking off with heavy bopping R&B, Collier funkily pranced between instruments, masterfully smashing polyrhythms on the drums before fingers went flying up and down the keyboard in a dazzling fashion. This was swiftly followed, almost interrupted, by a dramatic change in style into one of his more well-known tunes, and a personal favourite, ‘Hideaway’, a hit from his debut album In My Room.\n\nA melodically soft yet timbrally powerful song, the seemingly simple opening was quickly diluted into a series of complex harmonic movements that engaged the audience with a plethora of rich sounds. The performance was absorbing, yet I couldn’t help but feel surprised about the extent to which his band members were playing such a prominent role. Not only did this strip Jacob of his established ‘one-man’ image, but also blurred a lot of his instrumental playing, rendering a lot of his wizard-like virtuosity potentially unnecessary.\n\nThe instrumental force, however, did seem to make more sense as the show progressed, and Collier took a moment to briefly explain the four-album journey of Djesse, the first of which was described as exploring the mass of sound of the orchestra. Representing the ‘orchestra’ in Gorilla were three other exceptionally talented musicians from across the globe. I’d imagine this as a deliberate choice, slotting in nicely with Collier’s desire for worldwide musical collaboration and participation. Collier and band, switching between a variety of instruments, moved through a set-list consisting of songs from this particular album — his debut — and a few of his early popular YouTube covers (‘Lean on Me’, ‘Fascinating Rhythm’).\n\nThe set-list felt a little disjointed and spontaneous by skipping between songs, and even cutting them apart. Certainly, some of the drawn-out ‘sing-along’ tunes at the end, although great fun, could have been cut shorter. This is typical of Collier, fluttering between musical ideas that pinball around and consequently result in mostly unsettled and overly busy sound.\n\nAlthough this rings true it is hard not to admire the boldness and sheer skill of this sort of juxtaposition. All of Collier’s work is of the highest pedigree. The live performance didn’t feel lacklustre either — despite the heavy production involved in his recorded work it was recreated effectively with multi-octave harmoniser and effects.\n\nCollier certainly is a pioneering innovator of sound, technique, and tools, and to be able to witness the musical prowess he bestowed on each instrument was utterly mesmerising and truly an honour.",

"As recent South Asian immigrants to Toronto, we write this article in response to personal contentious conversations about the Black Lives Matter movements and recent Wet’suwet’en protests with our South Asian families and community. Our arguments in support of these movements are often met with disdain. Even worse, we have encountered erroneous attitudes towards Black and Indigenous Peoples.\n\nAs South Asians, we are racialized but are also settlers on this land. Indigenous studies scholars Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang explain: “Settlers are diverse, not just of white European descent, and include people of colour, even from other colonial contexts … Settlers are not immigrants … Settlers become the law.” Immigrants adopt the law of the land they move to, but if the land itself is stolen, then whose laws do we adopt?\n\nAs feminists and critical researchers of race, space and capital, we consider immigration to Canada to be part of the state’s capitalist and imperialist strategy to recruit new settlers. It is a way to keep Indigenous Peoples dispossessed and to render their and Black people’s labour undesirable.\n\nIn this way, racism can sometimes be treated by racialized immigrants as a white settler-Indigenous-Black triad. But critical race scholarship warns that we must not perpetuate Indigenous and settlers as a binary or opposite. Hence, any discussion of the precarious settlement of immigrants must also include an analysis of dispossession of Black and Indigenous Peoples. We need to identify settler colonialism as a structure and phenomena that simultaneously claws into everything: the cultural, political, social and economic.\n\nSouth Asians first arrived in Canada in the early 1900s from former British colonies including the Indian subcontinent, Africa and the Caribbean. They are currently one of the largest and fastest growing populations in Canada with growing socio-economic, political and cultural influence. Hence, it is imperative that we reflect on the presence of South Asians — as a body politic Canada — and their historic and current relationship to a racial capitalist agenda.\n\nSouth Asians are often depicted as a model minority by media and government. That is, we are seen and many of us see ourselves as racialized yet successful.\n\nBut the model minority concept has been declared a myth. Bonita Lawrence, Enakshi Dua, Beenash Jafri, Shaista Patel are just a few of the Canadian scholars that suggest it is a strategy to deepen racial divides and reinforce systemic racism.\n\nEthnic studies scholar, Nishant Upadhyay, assistant professor at the University of Colorado explored the relationship between South Asian and Indigenous Peoples in Alberta’s oil sands. There they say the racialized model minority figure is “rendered complicit” and “used in the service of white supremacist colonial-capitalist projects” that constructs Indigenous and Black people as the “unmodel other.”\n\nSociologist Sunera Thobani explains how capitalism relies on racialized immigrant labour. According to Thobani, “forever-foreign” immigrants generally excluded from nation-building, seek inclusion in the state through laboured citizenship. In doing so, they become part of a state system that negates the labour of Black and Indigenous Peoples.\n\nThis can be traced back to the 1800s when the British used the labour of South Asians to expand and protect their empire across Fiji, Mauritus, Africa and the Caribbean. This is not to disregard the violence or racism against racialized immigrants but instead to say that we must be aware of the histories and the continuum of this violence within Canada.\n\nColourism and Casteism in South Asia\n\nIn South Asia, colourism against dark-skinned South Asians is a long-standing issue. Casteism and the associated oppression of and violence against Dalits is rampant.\n\nOppression of the African diaspora in South Asia as Sidis in India, Sheedis in Pakistan and “Kaffirs” in Sri Lanka is common. The dispossession of and violence against Adivasis, the Indigenous Peoples of India is either made invisible or deemed necessary for development.\n\nDalit scholar and architect of the Indian constitution B.R. Ambedkar pointed out that these divisions have historically been deepened by centuries of British colonial rule and indicate a loss of strength in our inability to stand up to racism.\n\nRecently, the faculty of education at York University held a panel discussion with professor Vidya Shah and former education officer at Ontario Ministry of Education, Jeewan Chanicka to reflect on the need for more visible and loud anti-racist agendas in South Asian collectives across Canada. Shah spoke of a “long silence” against anti-Black racism, specifically in Ontario. Herveen Singh, faculty at Zayed University, also remarked that “the [brown collective] silence has been deafening when Black lives are under siege.”\n\nSingh and Shah’s conclusions are anecdotal and more research is needed in this area. A search on social media indicates some South Asian groups advocating for anti-racist allyship.\n\nThere is also ample evidence of political activism of Canadian South Asian collectives from the 1990s. For instance, Desh Pradesh (initially known as Salaam Toronto, first organized by Khush: South Asian Gay Men of Toronto) was created to address the systemic exclusion that South Asians faced in Canadian cultural life.\n\nAnd historically, anti-colonial resistance has been densely interwoven with anti-racist movements. For example, in “1942, the Black press was heavily covering the widespread anti-colonial civil disobedience in India.” In the same decade, exchanges between W.E.B. Du Bois and Ambedkar indicate the connection between the struggles and actions for liberation between Dalits and Black peoples.\n\nWe feel we need a larger presence of South Asian collectives to deconstruct the notion of the Canadian state in relation to our treaty obligations while remaining cognizant of the rich social and cultural history of Turtle Island.\n\nRegarding South Asians who are new Canadians, we need to ask why newcomer settlement services do not include knowledge on whose traditional lands we have landed. We must demand a focus on history and continuity of struggles as well as the successes of Indigenous and Black peoples. We must associate with Calls to Action as recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Committee.\n\nInstitutional and community setups for South Asians must amplify voices that disrupt daily practices of racism, colourism, casteism and oppression. With our complex colonial legacies of anti-Blackness, we must simultaneously look inward, while reflecting outward."

"At the ruins of Stockgen, the Turtles, Sally and Mondo lay in wait in the brush, waiting for Hob to make his move (as indicated in a message he sent them earlier). Bishop and Dark Water arrive with both ground and air support as Hob steps out of the ruins with his two hostages: Bishop's father and Colonel Knight's wife, Pam. Holding them at gunpoint, Hob demands the immediate release of the Mutanimals.",
null,
"Enraged, Knight confronts Hob, but the Turtles take out his snipers and chopper backup (thanks to Donatello and one of Harold's old anti-gravity gauntlets). Before the negotiations can go any further, Bishop unleashes the mind-controlled Slash who stomps the opposition. Speaking through Slash, Bishop goes on a paranoid rant and the mercenary Knight realizes that his employer has a screw loose. Hob informs him that Bishop has been keeping secret files on all of Dark Water, which is how he got the information about his wife. Knight signals Sergeant Winter, who pulls a gun on Bishop and forces him to power down Slash.",
null,
"The Mutanimals are set free by Dark Water (though Mutagen Man has been reduced to a head in a jar, Herman has received a cybernetic pincer). Dark Water then leaves, abandoning Bishop to his fate at the hands of the Mutanimals. Bishop isn't out of tricks and contacts Dr. Shevlin, who reactivates his neuro-link with Slash. Hob takes a gun to Bishop's father and threatens to kill him unless Slash is released. Bishop reveals that he thinks his father truly died years ago and the senile old man in the wheelchair is just an empty husk. To prove his contempt, Bishop has Slash stomp his father to death.\n\nEnraged, Hob claws half of Bishop's face off, revealing that he's actually a cyborg. Bishop tries to regain the controls for Slash, but Leo chops off his cybernetic hands. With the police on the way, the Turtles and the Mutanimals are left with no choice but to leave Slash behind with Bishop. The Mutanimals flee in the stolen military vehicle while the Turtles escape in Hob's old van.",
null,
"Hitting the highway, the Turtles tell Leo that they're impressed with his plan and how well it worked. Leo says that it's his duty to keep \"Clan Hamato\" together. He then asks Donnie if he has any new tech ideas up his sleeve. Donnie says that their new van is giving him some ideas.\n\nThe departure of Dark Water from the narrative was sudden and, I dunno, I don't think I'm going to miss them. With the EPF and all those government resources at his back, I'm not sure why Bishop needed them in the first place. They didn't amount to much other than a means to provide a convenient out for (most of) the characters. Who knows if Knight and Winter will turn up later, but I won't shed any tears if they don't (though Winter's betrayal might make a good catalyst for Bishop capturing him, experimenting on him and turning him into Megavolt, ala his Fred Wolf cartoon counterpart).\n\nBishop being a cyborg provided a nice visual surprise. He's always been more than human in his other incarnations: His 4Kids version was functionally immortal and bled green while his Nickelodeon counterpart was an Utrom in an exo-suit. Making him a cyborg seems like a middle-ground between the two other versions, making him an enhanced human (ala 4Kids) but also giving him robotic body parts (ala Nickelodeon). But even if you expected Bishop to be something other than a normal dude, the way Santolouco framed the reveal had some real startling power to it (for the audience, I mean; the characters don't comment on nor seem to give a shit that he's revealed to be part robot).\n\nThe climax to this issue confirms the IDW Bishop as being far more villainous than his other interpretations, who both became allies to the Turtles toward the end of their respective cartoons. I don't see this lunatic Bishop joining forces with the TMNT anytime soon. Still, even when he's committing patricide, there remains that glimmer of \"heroism\" to the character. He really is just trying to keep his country safe from an external threat. He's just a paranoid, geriatric-stomping nutjob about it.\n\nHow Hob steps away from this storyline leaves him in an interesting place. Though he didn't kill either of the hostages, he was pretty damn vicious about (dragging his claws across Pam's neck, drawing blood). And yet, you're still left wondering if he really would have pulled the trigger on them. By the time Bishop starts rambling like a madman and the crisis reaches a fever pitch, Hob transitions from a cruel negotiator to somewhat pleading with Knight to see reason and walk away from everything. The execution keeps Hob firmly entrenched in that grey area where he does some REALLY shitty stuff, but he never goes quite far enough to become a legit villain.\n\nAs for the Turtles, they walk away from this arc with a few changes. Leo's gotten comfortable and confident as the sole leader of \"Clan Hamato\". While it seemed like a bit of an artificial form of growth, as we've seen Leo come to terms with the burden of leadership so many times, I guess the context of there being no Splinter to fall back on gives this go-around some extra oomph. But if he keeps sneaking off to see Splinter for advice, it's really going to undermine what this story arc was trying to do for the character.\n\nAlso, Donnie's got a van and he wants to trick it out. To be frank, I'm a little surprised the IDW series has taken seventy issues to get to the Turtle Van/Party Wagon (or at least sewn the seeds for it). Admittedly, the van has always been one of the more impractical and toyetic aspects of the brand, but even the Mirage TMNT had April's Volkswagon, so it is something of a staple.\n\nSo I don't have much to complain about with Desperate Measures. In many ways, it was paced better than most IDW arcs, spreading the action out with each chapter instead of clumping it all in the back end. But it also has some spontaneous, awkward exposition cluttered together in the first half, like Bishop's weird oration about his father or Knight taking a phone call from a wife who never existed until she was needed to facilitate this climax.\n\nIf Desperate Measures didn't do it for you, then the next two arcs look to run the remaining gamut of the IDW TMNT-verse. There's a two-parter with the Pantheon followed by a four-parter with General Krang. I'm especially looking forward to the latter."

"Internal religious harmony has been difficult to attain for most nations, as wars and riots have been fought in the past over religion. The prevailing belief of a particular system of beliefs being “the one true religion” is often repeated among each of them, all backed with indisputable proof that members would parrot to each other. Confronted with diversity and different beliefs, most people would resort to trying to convert their neighbours, indoctrinating them until the other person either succumbs to their witnessing or shuns them.\n\nHowever, the city-state of Singapore is proof that religious harmony can be attainable if all would participate and wish for it. The diversity of religions is not only tolerated, but also widely accepted. Just off Geylang East Ave 3 sits Foo Hai Chan Monastery, a Buddhist temple, and beside it is Sri Sivan Temple, a Hindu temple. Muslims are given flexibility to participate in their Friday prayers during classes as their Muslim Pro app reminds them of the time. Catholic priests would talk to the visitors and guests after every mass. All Singaporeans—regardless of their race or religion—are free to mingle with others, learn about the different cultures, and respect them.\n\nYet this religious harmony did not happen overnight. Singapore had a long history of religious leaders working hand-in-hand to find compromises and ways to work with each other.\n\nAs Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong wrote on Facebook on the eve of 2017 Racial Harmony Day, this multiracial, multireligious, and multilingual society that Singapore is today did not happen by chance. It was the conscious decision of leaders who worked hard to make things as they are today.\n\nHere are some of the things that made Singapore the paragon of religious harmony that it is known as today:\n\nIn response, the government set up national programmes that ensured a balanced representation of Singapore’s unique ethnic makeup. The result is a government filled with people from different ethnicities, working together to find the perfect balance for all.\n\nFor example, the Housing and Development Board’s Ethnic Integration Policy assigns the number of each major ethnic group who may own units in a neighbourhood or apartment block. This ensures that HBD’s public housing estates would have people from different ethnicities and religions who would live alongside each other, sharing amenities and learning about each other. This is the complete opposite of how it was before.\n\nAside from the constitution, the Ministry of Home Affairs takes the mandate to maintain the country’s race and religious harmony seriously by pre-empting anything that may compromise this harmony.\n\nFor instance, the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act (MRHA) and Penal Code strengthen the call for religious freedom. The MRHA places safeguards against foreign influence and donors who may be taking advantage of any religion by regulating donations and key administrative leadership positions. It also issues restraining orders (ROs) to any religious organizations that do not meet these requirements. The ROs are also applicable to offensive online content that may cause religious disharmony.\n\nThe MRHA also introduced the Community Remedial Initiative which steps in if a Singaporean hurts the feelings of another religious community. The CRI strives to allow the offender to learn more about the other religions within the society and mend ties with the group.\n\nAll these are supported by the penal code, which also enables the courts to sentence an offender if the person is convicted of a racially or religiously motivated offence.\n\nThese reasons and more help strengthen the bonds of religious harmony within Singapore. There is room for all religions to grow and to co-exist with each other. For instance, Muslim Pro, a popular comprehensive Islamic lifestyle app, also highlights this unity by offering intuitive features that unites users to Muslims worldwide. It provides timely accurate prayer times and Adhan and offers multiple versions of the Quran to busy Singaporean Muslims.\n\nSearch For A Topic\nAbout Author",

"The stretch is yet to be readied with the signalling system. The trial runs are likely to be done on the ‘one train on one line’ system.",

"If everything goes according to plan, trial runs of the much-awaited truncated stretch of Joka-Taratala Metro could start from next month. The entire 14.2 kilometres corridor of Joka-BBD Bag, once operational, will connect the southern parts of the city to Esplanade.\n\nAccording to sources, the discarded non-air-conditioned rakes that were earlier being used in the north-south corridor are to be utilised for the dry runs in this part of the upcoming Metro. A non-AC rake is to be brought to the Joka depot from Noapara car shed in the first week of July. The rake will first be made to go through some test runs inside the depot for a few days before being rolled out for the actual trials on the tracks. Once considered okay for the test runs, the rake would be trundled. The trial runs, according to sources, are thus likely to start from mid-July or so. The stretch is yet to be readied with the signalling system. The trial runs are likely to be done on the ‘one train on one line’ system.\n\nNotably, the 14.2 kilometres stretch of Joka-BBD Bag corridor has 12 stations including four underground and eight elevated ones. Of the total, the authorities are putting efforts to open a 6.49 km stretch between Joka to Taratala. The truncated part will include six stations namely Joka, Thakurpukur, Sakherbazar, Behala Chowrasta, Behala Bazar and Taratala. The authorities are said to be mulling over to open the 6.49-km truncated part in September while the entire Joka-BBD Bag corridor is being targeted to be readied by July 2025."
