"Nero and the burning of Rome, Altemus Edition, 1897. Illustration by M. de Lipman.\n\nQuo Vadis: A Narrative of the Time of Nero, commonly known as Quo Vadis, is a historical novel written by Henryk Sienkiewicz in Polish.[1] \"Quo vadis Domine\" is Latin for \"Where are you going, Lord?\" and alludes to the apocryphal Acts of Peter, in which Peter flees Rome but on his way meets Jesus and asks him why he is going to Rome. Jesus says \"I am going back to be crucified again\", which makes Peter go back to Rome and accept martyrdom.\n\nThe novel Quo Vadis tells of a love that develops between a young Christian woman, Ligia (or Lygia), and Marcus Vinicius, a Roman patrician. It takes place in the city of Rome under the rule of emperor Nero around AD 64.\n\nSienkiewicz studied the Roman Empire extensively prior to writing the novel, with the aim of getting historical details correct. As such, several historical figures appear in the book. As a whole, the novel carries an outspoken pro-Christian message.\n\nPublished in installments in three Polish dailies in 1895, it came out in book form in 1896 and has since been translated into more than 50 languages. This novel contributed to Sienkiewicz's Nobel Prize for literature in 1905.\n\nSeveral movies have been based on Quo Vadis including the 1951 Hollywood production Quo Vadis and the 2001 adaptation by Jerzy Kawalerowicz.\n\nSienkiewicz alludes to several historical events and merges them in his novel, but some of them are of doubtful authenticity.\n\n1896 was also the year that playwright-actor-manager Wilson Barrett produced his successful play The Sign of the Cross. Although Barrett never acknowledged it, several elements in the play strongly resemble those in Quo Vadis. In both, a Roman soldier named Marcus falls in love with a Christian woman and wishes to \"possess\" her. (In the novel, her name is Ligia, in the play she is Mercia.) Nero, Tigellinus and Poppea are major characters in both the play and novel, and in both, Poppea lusts after Marcus. Petronius, however, does not appear in The Sign of the Cross, and the ending of the play diverges from that of Quo Vadis.",
null,
"In 1951, Quo Vadis was adapted as a film by Mervyn LeRoy.\n\nA successful stage version of the novel by Stanislaus Stange was produced in 1900.[2] Film versions of the novel were produced in 1912 and 1925.[3] A 1951 version directed by Mervyn LeRoy was nominated for eight academy awards. The novel was also the basis for a 1985 mini-series starring Klaus Maria Brandauer as Nero and a 2001 Polish mini-series directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz.\n\nJean Nouguès composed an opera based on the novel, to a libretto by Henri Caïn; it was premiered in 1909.\n\nThe character Ursus was featured in a number of Italian adventure films from 1961 to 1964. He was first featured in 1961's Ursus, where he must rescue his fiancee from a sacrificial cult, and was portrayed by actor Ed Fury. This film was released in the United States initially as Mighty Ursus and was later adapted for the American television film package, The Sons of Hercules, where it was retitled \"Ursus, Son of Hercules\". In 1961's La Vendetta di Ursus (The Revenge of Ursus), while portrayed by Samson Burke, Ursus is a farmer with his younger brother Doraius, who fights to prevent the malicious King Zagro and Lycurgas from overtaking the neighboring kingdom of Leecha. That same year, Ed Fury returned in Ursus nella valle dei leoni (Ursus in the Valley of the Lions), in which he is the prince of a fallen kingdom, raised by lions after the rest of the royal family was killed.\n\nThe next film, Ursus e la regazza tartara (Ursus and the Tartar Girl, released in English-speaking countries as Ursus and the Tartar Princess), was filmed in France in 1962, and starred British actor Joe Robinson as Ursus, but takes place in Central Asia; Ursus fights a Khan played by famous Armenian actor Akim Tamiroff. This film was also released to American television under the title \"The Tartar Invasion\". Ursus nella terra di fuoc] (Ursus in the Land of Fire), released in 1963, yet again stars Ed Fury. In it, Ursus must overthrow a vicious general who has overtaken the throne of an unnamed country. It was adapted for The Sons of Hercules package, where it was retitled \"Son of Hercules in the Land of Fire\"."

"Justice Department Administration of the President's Pardon Power: A Case Study in Institutional Conflict of Interest",
null,
"As this article discusses, the President’s constitutional pardon power has been administered by the attorney general since before the Civil War, but this arrangement has never been adequately explained or justified. On its face, the author argues, it appears rife with conflict of institutional interests: how could the agency responsible for convicting people and putting them in prison also be tasked with forgiving them and setting them free? In spite of these apparently antithetical missions, the author continues, the Justice Department managed the pardon program in a low-key and reliable manner for well over a century, staffing it with a handful of career lawyers operating on a shoestring budget, and churning out hundreds of favorable clemency recommendations each year for the president’s consideration. While there were occasionally controversial grants there were never scandalous ones, and the president was able to use his power to good effect in wartime and in peace.\n\nThis essay concludes that the culture and mission of the Justice Department have in recent years become determinedly and irreconcilably hostile to the beneficent purposes of the pardon power, and to its regular use by the president. The only way to deal with the institutional conflict that produced and perpetuates this situation, according to the author, is to transfer the pardon program to the president’s direct supervision in the Executive Office of the President. This move will have a variety of benefits, including facilitating the president’s ability to oversee the workings of the criminal justice system, for which he has a special responsibility under the Constitution. More specifically, it will introduce salutary political accountability to federal prosecutions through presidential oversight and potential revision. Finally, it will give the president control for the first time in decades over his own “benign prerogative.”"

"Machines are going to eat our jobs.\n\nAI is handling insurance claims and basic bookkeeping, maintaining investment portfolios, doing preliminary HR tasks, and performing extensive legal research and lot more. So, do humans stand a chance against the automation apocalypse, where everything, almost everything will be controlled by robots?",
null,
"What do you think? You might be worried about your future job opportunities and universal basic income, but I would ask you to draw a clearer picture about this competing theory – because, in the end, this question might not even be a plausible and completely valid question. Why, I will tell you now.\n\nIn 2016, McKinsey analyzed 830 occupations and concluded that only 5% of them could be automated. Amazon presents a clearer example of this circumstance. Over the last 3 years, the company has increased the number of robots operating in their warehouses from 1400 to 45000, but at the same time, the number of workers hired rate remains unchanged.",
null,
"Here are top 5 reasons that tell you – Don’t be Scared of Automation, after all it’s a blessing in disguise:\n\nPeople are up for change\n\nDespite of so much fuss about automation apocalypse, most of the techies don’t mind to learn a few new things that will benefit them in the long run. They believe their employers will need them because the ways in which they can contribute to the organization, the machines simply can’t. A negligible 6% of business leaders think automation will feed on jobs, the rest remains optimistic.\n\nAI and automation will eventually help workforce and the organization\n\nA majority of employees feel overworked and looks up to automation, which can make their jobs easier, leaving them with more time to become productive in their job roles. And of course, that will work in favor of the organization.",
null,
"Survey speaks in favor of automation\n\nMore than half of those surveyed, brags about how great automation has been for their company, and how efficiently it has enhanced production and lowered costs, thereafter.\n\nLook into the past to see if automation stole human jobs\n\nThe tasks that computers do now were once conducted by humans. But after computers replaced human mind power, did it eat away our jobs? Or did our workers disappear? No, they didn’t. In fact, businesses started hiring more human-oriented job candidates than they used to do before, especially for positions like product managers and customer service.\n\nAttention everybody – AI needs us\n\nThough there is a lot of speculation that AI will replace human brain power, but in reality that’s quite a far-fetched idea. Humans are far better at applying intuition than their machine counterparts and are quick to take action.\n\nHowever, it’s not all roses, any kind of technological shift takes a toll on the industry and digital industry is no different. To stay safe, it is advisable to take up a course on data analytics, from a premier analytics training institute in Delhi. DexLab Analytics is one of the best data science training platforms in India, where intensive programs are curated, especially to make professionals industry-ready."

"A man makes his way next to a replica of a one drachma coin outside the Athens Town Hall May 15, 2012\n\nGreek ministers and inspectors from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund will resume talks over a bailout review in Athens in late April, sources close to the negotiations said on Monday.\n\nLast week, Greece and its official lenders reached a preliminary deal on measures Athens must implement after its current bailout expires, the first breakthrough in talks over reforms after months of acrimonious wrangling that revived fears of a new crisis in the eurozone.\n\nA conclusion of the review will unlock vital loans needed by Athens to make debt repayments in July.\n\nEU/IMF missions will return to Athens to put the final touches to the preliminary deal later in April said one source. Another source said they were likely to return after IMF meetings on April 21-23. Negotiations on post-bailout targets continue.\n\n“The talks are expected to be wrapped up before a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in May,” one of the sources said.\n\nAthens agreed on extra steps to convince the IMF, which remains sceptical about Greece’s fiscal and reform progress, to take part in its €86bn bailout, its third since its debt crisis emerged eight years ago.\n\nThe leftist-led government agreed to cut pensions by 1.0 per cent of gross domestic product in 2019, a year after its bailout programme ends, and committed to tax reforms in 2020 to generate additional revenue equal to another 1 per cent of GDP.\n\nIMF participation is sought by eurozone countries and Germany in particular as it faces national elections and wants to add credibility to Greece’s third rescue package.\n\nAthens has lowered wages and cut pensions 12 times since 2010 to fix its public finances and will hold an election in 2019.\n\nTo make the deal more palatable for Greece, the lenders agreed that if budget savings targets are exceeded, Athens will be allowed to implement relief measures to boost the economy.\n\nOn Sunday, Tsipras said the additional austerity measures would be implemented on condition of further debt relief.\n\nBut Germany wants Greece to implement reforms before any consideration of whether more debt relief is needed, the German finance ministry said on Monday.\n\n“Talks on debt relief won’t be easy,” another source said.\n\nRose takes Masters heartache on the chin after epic duel"

"by Kate Ager, via LadiesinKeene.com:\n\nAround 6:30PM, April 12th in Greenland, NH, five police officers were seen standing on the front porch and peering into the windows of 517 Post Road. The officers were at the home to serve a ‘search warrant’ as part of a ‘drug related investigation.’ Kevin Clay from WMUR reports: “Police went to 517 Post Road and entered the home. They were confronted by an armed suspect.” A man who noticed the police officers on the porch and a cruiser on the lawn as he was driving by said that he then heard gunshots and saw police running away from the home. After the passerby pulled over to direct traffic away from that area, the cruiser went flying past him, presumably to the hospital with an injured officer.\n\nA woman living across the street from the house said she was cleaning when she heard the gunshots and looked out the window to see four police officers running away from the house and three of them falling. More officers arrived very quickly and steadily continued arriving. The woman reported that an officer came to her daughter’s bedroom window and told her that they needed to stay in their basement. Other neighbors were told to stay in their homes and as the area was blocked off, other residents were prevented from returning home.\n\nAs of right now, the standoff is still underway: helicopters, SWAT teams, and police officers from numerous areas throughout the state are present in the area of the home. Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where the five officers shot – one who did not survive – were taken for medical attention, is swarming with LEOs from dozens of departments.\n\nWMUR reports, “That [male] suspect and a female were still inside the home Thursday night as police tried to negotiate a peaceful resolution.”\n\nIt is very unfortunate that this incident occurred, and though many will blame the man who shot at police officers entering his home for the outcome of this interaction, he probably did not act with malicious intent. Reacting to an aggressor with force is commonly known as self-defense and generally viewed as acceptable and often applauded – unless the aggressor wears a badge or is deemed a “government official.”\n\nMany have been conditioned to believe and accept the idea that police officers and other government officials have authority over them and that through the written word of ‘law’ and threats of imprisonment or force in other manners, it is acceptable for those with special uniforms or job titles to forcefully control the actions of others or use force to punish them for actions with which they or written ‘law’ disagree.\n\nThe officers who arrived at the home on Post Road were there to enter the man’s home without his consent, search through all of his belongings, take anything deemed ‘illegal’ if they were to find it, then try to put the man in a cage for possessing it. Although the men approaching the door of the Greenland home wore uniforms with “police” written on them and had a man in a robe also deemed to be a “government official” sign a fancy-sounding permission slip [search warrant] supposedly granting them access into another man’s home, they were there with the intent to break in to the home, steal his property, and force him into a cage.\n\nI’m sure some will deny that police with a warrant entering a home constitutes breaking in; entering a person’s home against their wishes is breaking in. Some will say that taking items deemed to be ‘illegal’ isn’t theft, but taking somebody’s property without their permission is theft. Clearly a cell fits the definition of a cage.\n\nLike I said, I’m sure many will blame the man who shot at police officers entering his home for the outcome of this interaction – but this could have been prevented. Due to the seemingly endless War On Drugs, a man lost his life tonight, four others were shot, and the occupants of the Post Road residence will either be killed by “government officials” trying to extract them from the home, or put in a cage for the rest of their life.\n\nWMUR reported that the police were trying to negotiate a peaceful resolution, but peacefully is an inaccurate way to describe how this situation will end. As I just mentioned, many lives have been severely affected in a negative manner due to this interaction. Why? What did the man inside the home possess that would warrant people to come into his home and put him in a situation where he feels the need to defend himself and his property – a plant, a powder, a liquid? What drug voluntarily ingested by a person could possibly be more harmful than all the damage and despair caused by the War On Drugs?\n\nPeople should be free to make their own decisions so long as they don’t initiate force on others. If people did not feed in to the idea that badges or government titles grant extra rights, this horrible incident would have never unfolded. The trauma, injuries, and death that family members of the officer and others in the community now must cope with could have been avoided. I hope this event causes people to realize the harm caused by the War On Drugs is much greater than the harm caused by voluntarily ingesting the substance itself.\n\nIf I were the man inside the home in this situation, I probably would not have reacted to the officers on the porch in the same manner that the man in his Greenland home is, but the United States Government is one of the largest criminal gangs in the world and he wanted to protect his life and his property from them. I do not advocate violence or the initiation of force, but I can not condemn a man for acting in self-defense; it makes no difference whether one is defending themselves from a random aggressor on the street or a random aggressor with a badge.\n\n“In an ideal world, cops would do nothing except protect people from thieves and attackers, in which case shooting a cop would never be justified.” – Larken Rose, “When Should You Shoot A Cop”\n\nThis post was submitted for April’s “Featured Content of the Month” contest, you too can submit a post, picture or video.

"A robot waitress dances while a costumer takes a picture at the Hajime Robot restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand, in February 2019. Professor Richard Baldwin says in his latest book, \"The Globotics Upheaval,\" that artificial intelligence will begin affecting white-collar jobs in the near future.\n\nRichard Baldwin's newest book \"The Globotics Upheaval: Globalization, Robotics, and the Future of Work\" has some dire predictions.\n\n\"What's going to happen with this globalization and service sector automation, is many tasks — chores that people do now — will be done either remotely or automatedly and we will need fewer people to do the same amount of work,\" Baldwin told The World. \"So there will be a displacement of jobs.\"\n\nBut Baldwin, a professor of international economics at the Graduate Institute in Geneva and the author of \"The Great Convergence: Information Technology and the New Globalisation,\" says there is hope at the end of the process.\n\n\"It's just that we have to get from here to there,\" he said.\n\nRelated: Seniors are the evangelists of Finland's new AI strategy\n\nBaldwin talked through some of the major themes of his book with The World's Marco Werman.\n\nComputer technology has advanced at an incredibly rapid rate, even in just a few years.",
null,
"\"Machines now — I mean computers, can see — they can talk,\" he said. \"They can listen. They can translate, they can generate outputs, they can understand subtle patterns and they couldn't do that in 2015.\"\n\nMarco Werman: So AI's going to get more muscular. You're also seeing platforms, I gather, like eBay and Alibaba turning into places where you don't just purchase goods and stuff. You also buy skilled professional services. What does that look like and do you see this happening already?\n\nOh yes. So Upwork — that's the largest one. It went public last year. And what they do, like eBay but for services, they help people who want to hire, say, for example, a logo designer or a translator or copyeditor, they help them find them somewhere in the world, pay them, manage them and have the whole product delivered. This is services.\n\nMaybe the easiest way to think about it is freelancing gone global. Now, the way you can see this is already done in a big way is in industries like web development, where it's very common that a coordinator will get online people sitting in different countries — somebody doing the coding, somebody doing the user experience, somebody doing the graphic designs — and they're on the screen all day long working in some sort of virtual office, producing a really top quality website very, very quickly and for much less money than if it all had to be done in California or Germany or someplace like that. And I'm just projecting that this will spread to many other activities because ultimately there's a huge cost savings to be made by hiring lower-cost foreign service providers.\n\nIt will open up this international wage competition that we've never really seen before in the service sector. What's going to happen with this globalization and service sector automation, is many tasks — chores that people do now — will be done either remotely or automatedly and we will need fewer people to do the same amount of work. So there will be a displacement of jobs. That's the process. It's not like all of a sudden, an automated robot will take over the job of, say, a journalist like yourself or a professor like me.\n\nYou write about what some countries are doing to plan for this scenario. Denmark — what are they doing to prepare?\n\nSo the Danish model is they let firms hire and fire freely, whatever you want. But then the government stands ready to do whatever is necessary to get the displaced worker a new job. If they have to move cities, they give them support for that, if they need some income support in the meantime, they do that. Retraining, looking after the workers not the jobs. And it's one of the reasons why, in Denmark, they're willing to accept globalization and automation. They embrace it, in fact, because they know eventually everybody will have a fighting chance of winning — it won't just always be the displaced workers paying the adjustment costs.\n\nRelated: Saudi Arabia has a new citizen: Sophia the robot. But what does that even mean?\n\nThat suggests some progress, but I've got to say it's easy to imagine the dystopian scenario where humans are figuratively and literally prisoners of robots. One of the arguments you make, is that ultimately you think this can all be a good thing for society. So, how and why?\n\nI'm a pessimist in the short run and an optimist in the long run. We will do the things that artificial intelligence and tele-migrants can't do. AI is very bad at the most human skills. So dealing with unknown situations, managing people, motivating people, ethics, creativity. Those are things that computers have trouble doing and so, our jobs of the future will be filled with those more human tasks. So I view this AI and the tele-migration as a good thing once we can get through the transition. People's jobs will be more interesting because all the robotic repetitive stuff will be done by machines. Things that can be done remotely will be done remotely and allow us to do things where we actually have to be together. So, ultimately, I think it will be a very, very good thing.\n\nIt's just we have to get from here to there.\n\nIn that transition, I can imagine what you're predicting could well make a lot of powerful people unhappy. Do you see governments falling because of this upheaval or are governments more likely to take advantage of the upheaval for their own power?\n\nWell, I think the move for populism is no way near over. We're in a situation where it's almost like a powderkeg. People are feeling fragility and vulnerability and anger from the last wave of globalization and automation. And into this, we're going to throw this explosive pace of digital technology which will bring globalization and automation to a whole new set of people who've never seen it before — white-collar workers, professional workers — and I think they will be angry and wouldn't be surprised if we get a backlash that has a political element to it. Who knows exactly what the backlash will be against, but the common denominator of all this is digital technology.\n\nRead an excerpt from \"The Globotics Upheaval\""

"Nice flight down to Austin this morning. It seemed like half the plane (slight exaggeration) was filled with Chicago, NPE Conference goers. Hilarious -- there was $8 Wi-Fi available on Southwest and next thing I knew everyone on the plane was checking in on FB. I wound up sitting next to old friend Mike Charney, former Pres. of the Cleveland Teachers Union. Thanks Mike, for making the flight seem a lot shorter.\n\nNews out of Chicago is both grim and hopeful. Grim because schools CSO Byrd-Bennett has gone postal over the growing teacher/parent ISAT test boycott. She is threatening to yank certification (end the teaching career) of any teacher who takes part in the boycott or even (get this) \"any employee who encourages a student not to take the ISAT or who advocates against the ISAT on work time.\" The Mayor wasted no time is backing up this idiocy, telling the press, \"CPS simply cannot allow teachers to do their own thing.\"\n\nIn the words of the late Warren Zevon, \"Send lawyers, guns and money. The shit has hit the fan.\"\n\nHopeful, because today, teachers at a second school, Drummond, have joined the boycott and as I'm writing, the streets around Saucedo Elementary, where the current boycott began, are filled with angry protesters calling for BBB's head and for citywide support against threatened recession.\n\nI'm fantasizing about thousands of teachers chanting, \"I am Spartacus.\" Here at the NPE Conference, I'm hoping for a resolution backing Chicago's boycotting teachers. BBB's latest assault on the teaching profession calls for a national response.\n\nI even got to mention the boycott and the conference during a session on Austin's Rag Radio with old friend Thorne Dreyer and UT Prof. Julian Vasquez Heilig."

"What does the rising interest rate mean for gold investors ahead of the festive season?\n\nGlobally, gold prices are languishing near a two-and-a-half-year low, weighed down by a rapid rise in global interest rates and a surging US dollar.\n\nThe benchmark London gold has corrected by about 20 per cent from its March high when the Russian-Ukraine tensions shot up gold prices to near record peaks. Meanwhile, domestic prices are somewhat in check from a steeper fall due to the feeble Indian rupee and steady physical demand.\n\nGold started losing its glitter since central banks started hiking rates. Central banks across the globe had reduced rates earlier to support economic activities, which were adversely affected during the pandemic. But now, many central banks are on the path of hiking rates to fight against higher inflation.\n\nIncreased interest rates adversely affect gold as it is an interest-free investment.\n\nA strong US greenback, hovering at a two-decade high, also weighed the sentiment of the yellow metal. The recent increase in interest rates and high inflation skyrocketed the US currency.\n\nThe US dollar has started appreciating against other currencies since mid-2021, but the most rapid rate of the increase happened since the Russian inversion over Ukraine. The dollar-denominated gold becomes cheaper when the US dollar strengthens.\n\nThe extremely strong dollar devalued the Indian rupee, but it gives strength to domestic gold prices. The rupee weakened to an all-time low of Rs 81.25 last week, followed by the Federal Reserve’s big rate hike. Since a large chunk of our gold demand is met through imports, a weak domestic currency increases the landed cost of the commodity, causing a price rise.\n\nThe upcoming festive and wedding season is expected to bring some of the shine back to domestic gold. Buying gold is considered auspicious during key Indian festivals like Dussehra and Diwali that fall in the coming months. Gold jewellery demand is also expected to rise over the winter wedding season, a traditional time for gifting gold.\n\nHowever, there are still concerns that the demand may suffer due to erratic monsoons and inflationary pressures. Uneven monsoons may hurt farmers’ income, reducing the purchasing power of the biggest buyer of gold in the country.\n\nA tax increase may also hit the appetite for the precious metal in India, the world’s second-largest consumer. Earlier, an increase in demand and rising imports forced the government to raise the import tax on gold to tackle the country’s widening trade gap.\n\nIndia is the second-largest consumer of gold, and its average annual demand is about 800-850 tonnes. Almost 80% of the gold is used for jewellery, and the rest is in the form of gold coins and other industrial uses.\n\nIndian prices are trading higher against overseas prices due to the weak rupee, government policies, and local demand. In the domestic future’s platform, it has been broadly trading within the Rs 55,500-Rs 47,300 levels throughout the year. However, despite its high volatility, the metal managed to gain about 4 per cent this year.\n\nGold in the overseas market continues to be choppy with negative bias. More rate hike expectations from central banks and a strong dollar may weigh on the outlook of the commodity. Immediate support for London spot gold is placed at $1,600 an ounce, a break from which may lead to liquidation pressure in the near future.\n\nMeanwhile, although there may be significant price corrections in the short-term, domestic gold is likely to perform well in the long term. A weak domestic currency and prospects of high demand may offer firm support to prices.\n\nHareesh V is Head of Commodities at",

"Weather – Cool with temperatures in the mid 50’s to upper mid 70’s with moderate winds and mostly sunny.\n\nDecided to buy a 2 gallon gas can and not use the two saddle tanks until Russia – just don’t want any issues with the airlines no allowing me to check as baggage once they have had gasoline in them. On the Alaska Highway fuel stops along the route are limited and having a spare can of gas provides me with some added piece of mind.\n\nAbout a third of the roadway today way a 4-lane and for the most part I was able to maintain the speed limit…once on 2-lanes there were a number of slow downs since the Alaska Highway has quite a few trucks traveling in both directions. Also, ran into several areas under construction that were gravel and, in once instance, I rounded a curve and was unable to slow before crossing a 200 foot long section that completely caught me by surprise.\n\nSo far, cell coverage has remained pretty good despite what I discovered researching my global coverage…hope it continues.",

"Arrived at the beginning of the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek, BC…the last time I was there was May, 1973 with my family as we were movng up to Fairbanks, AK to live…back then the road was all gravel and was challenging at best with large trucks passing and showering you with rocks and dust – my Dad stopped in Dawson Creek to construct a huge screen on the front of our vehicle to protect the windshield from damage – crazy stuff!…today the new road is paved and does not have the old “Mileposts” that were so important to finding fuel, places to stay the night and restaurants & other services. The US Army constructed the highway, known as the ALCAN, in 1942 to provide strategic access from the lower 48 states to Alaska resulting from the war in the Pacific and the Japanese threat to the Aleutians and the west coast. There were actually some veterans of that construction in Dawson Creek to commerate construction of the highway.\n\nThe bike is covered with mud, dust and insects from the last 3000 miles of virtually any summer weather…the gravel sections of the Alaska Highway were so dusty today, vehicles were required to burn headlights."

"1) See below for my message for Yom Kippur. For the PDF format, click here.\n\n3) Listen to a related class here. Follow along with the source sheet here.\n\nThe self which, in his despair, he wants to be – is a self he is not. To want to be the self he truly is – is the opposite of despair. (Soren Kierkegaard)[1]\n\n\nThe formative years of Avraham’s life are bookended by parallel episodes. His first and last dialogue with God each began with the command of lekh lekha – “go forth.” Both missions entailed separating from family – at first leaving his “land, birthplace and father’s home” (Ber. 12:2) and later parting with Yisshak at the Akedah (22:2). And each of the trials was accompanied by God’s subsequent promise of blessing and bountiful offspring.\n\nAvraham is the Torah personality most often associated with hesed. He demonstrated that trait by caring for and mentoring his nephew Lot after the passing of his father, begging Sarah not to send away Yishmael, and famously sitting at his tent’s entrance in search of needy travelers. Ironically, however, the critical moments in Avraham’s life are best characterized by constant separation from others. In a life that was framed by the famous departures of lekh lekha, Avraham was forcibly separated from his wife Sarah upon descent into Egypt, from Lot on return to Canaan and from Yishmael when he finally settled down. What was God’s intended message to Avraham with all of those separations?\n* * * *\nR. Shimon said: … ‘Lekh lekha’ – To perfect yourself. ‘From your land’ – From the place of dwelling within you, in which you consider the wisdom with which you were born. ‘To the land that I will show you’ – There it will be revealed to you that which you seek, the power that is appointed over it (the land), which is deep and hidden. (Zohar)[2]\n\nGod’s repeated command of lekh lekha entailed more than a simple call to “go forth” (lekh) – it called for a courageous act of individuality (lekha). He challenged Avraham to “go for himself,” forcing him to struggle through the difficult process of identifying himself. Though Avraham was naturally inclined to surround himself with others – as a mentor, guide and leader, God time and again forced him to distance himself from them and grapple with the important questions of “Who am I?” and “What are my true convictions and beliefs?” In the presence of other people, it is often difficult to distinguish our individual thoughts and beliefs from that of the others. In solitude, however, our true selves shine forth.\n\nApproaching Avraham for his final challenge at the Akedah, God prefaced the command by calling out his name: “Avraham!” (22:1) He challenged Avraham to answer the call of his true self-identity. Avraham courageously responded “Hineni – Here I am!” His single-word response reflected his confidence in completing the ultimate test of his life’s mission of self-identity. And as the chilling encounter at Har Hamoriyah wound to an end, God’s messenger appeared to Avraham and symbolically placed a stamp of approval on his success, crying out to him again, “Avraham, Avraham!” Having proven himself with his actions, Avraham convincingly responded, “Hineni – Here I am.” His life’s mission was complete.\n\nOur consistent mention of Akedat Yisshak over Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur represents more than just a recollection of past events. It serves as the call to reexperience the challenge of Avraham, and to ask ourselves the important questions of, “Who are we?” and “What are our true convictions and beliefs?” It is the demand that we rise to the task of identifying our life’s goals and ambitions, and courageously answer “Hineni” to the call of our names."

"A Port Macquarie owner buys a second-hand International Marine classic Bertram 35 found between these pages and tricks her out for hardcore fishing.",
null,
null,
"Port Macquarie-based Terry Nocelli is like a lot of owners in that he found a particular marque and became a lifelong fan. His first Bertram 35 Shotgun was a perfect example.\n\nOriginally an auto electrician, Terry concentrated on marine electronics with Shotgun Marine Services around 10 years ago. Sometime later, after 20 years in business, he figured he was due some R&R and North Queensland beckoned.\n\nThe faithful Bertie would be a little cramped for extended liveaboard cruises with the family, so it was reluctantly replaced with a Riviera 48 that was more suited to coastal cruising as well as fishing.\n\nWatching the weigh-in at the 2009 Port Macquarie Golden Lure Tournament, Terry’s teenage son Kurt expressed a renewed interest in blue-water fishing, so the quest for a genuine fishing boat began. Terry favoured a do-upperer that he could fit-out himself rather than a turnkey package.\n\nWhether a Bertram or of the locally built Caribbean lineage the 35 is a real multi-tasker, which is why examples of any vintage remain in such demand.\n\nBETWIXT THESE PAGES\nIdeally, Terry wanted another Bertie, but the right combination of boat and motors were hard to find. Then one day, flicking through the pages of Trade-a-Boat, he spotted his old boat for sale. The asking price was a bit rich but it had been repowered with Volvo Penta D6-330s, which were a step-up from the originals. Three months later the price dropped to $160,000 and it was time to act. He made an offer of $145,000 and his old pride-and-joy was soon on its way back to Port Mac.\n\nNeedless to say, at that price the old girl needed a bit of work, but Terry also wanted to change a few things. The boat spent the next nine months on the hard, completely stripped back to virtually a bare shell.\n\nThe hull had osmosis and the fibreglass fuel tank was also a mess. The tank was pressure washed, bigger baffles were installed and Lloyds-approved fuel lines replaced the existing ones.\n\nThe downstairs helm was done away with freeing-up plenty of storage and is also now home to a flatscreen that disappears beneath a flap in the dash.\n\nA new 5kVa Northern Lights generator supplies AC power and running the air-conditioning away from shorepower, as well as a 1500W inverter. The wiring is immaculate, as you’d expect.\n\nThe props were replaced with four-bladers resulting in improved fuel efficiency and around 3kts of extra top-end speed. In a full day’s gamefishing, including running to the grounds at 20kts, Shotgun uses about 230lt, which is reasonably economical. At trolling speed of 8kts the motors burn 7lt/h per side.\n\nLOCAL TRADIES\nAll the timberw.ork, upholstery, carpeting and clears were done locally in Port Macquarie, with just the Corian bench top made out of town.\n\nWhile later-model Bertrams/Caribbeans have a reduced flare to create more space in the cabin, Terry’s is the original shape so he gets the legendary seakeeping abilities. The bed-and-a-half in the bow is still generous enough for two.\n\nGAME COCKPIT\nIn the cockpit are new custom-built rodholders and a Flexiteek deck, which is relatively maintenance free and far cheaper than the real deal. The heavy-tackle gamechair is a custom design and its high-gloss finish complements the look of this beautifully restored gamefisher.\n\nA plumbed bait tank, while only the width of the transom, has a surprisingly large volume. The divided icebox-freezer to starboard is also a custom job. There’s also another massive icebox under a hatch in the floor, just before the cabin doors.\n\nFISHING CRED\nTerry’s rekindled enthusiasm for gamefishing got off to a flying start. The boat is a proven fish-raiser as evidenced by the successful release of a 220kg blue marlin on a Stella 20000 reel no less!\n\nIt’s fair to say that the rebuild of this classic has been a labour of love, but plenty of thought has gone into every aspect of it. It will certainly have gamefishers and Bertram gamefishers in particular, drooling with envy.\n\n[ELECTRONIC BANK]\nBeing a marine electrician you’d expect Terry’s boat to be kitted out with all the latest electronics. The Simrad BSM-2 broadband sounder and Simrad GPS fitted with Navionics Platinum chart cards running through two NSE 12S head units were this expert’s choice.\n\nTerry deep-drops the continental shelf and beyond with electric reels and at these sorts of depths if you miss the spot it’s a long and boring wind-up with nothing to show for it. Factoring in wind speed and current direction, the incredible on-screen clarity provided by the BSM-2 makes bottom fishing in water hundreds of fathoms deep much more productive.\nOtherwise the sounder’s role in highlighting where deep reefs, dropoffs and canyon walls lie equates to more gamefish bites when trolling or drifting.\n\nA 6kW open array radar is perched on the hardtop, so this boat is equipped to go and fish anywhere, under a variety of conditions.",

"Who’s a happy chappy? Terry Nocelli is, back behind the wheel of his beloved Bertram 35.",

"Fishing is the name-of-the-game on Shotgun, the stylish, custom-built gamefishing throne taking pride of place in the cockpit.",
null,
"As you would expect Terry, being a marine electrician, has decked out the helm with some of the best electronics available. Nothing escaped the rebuild, the standard Betram U-shape dinette showing the benefit of some meticulous TLC."

"I meant to gather some reflections on winter, sew some meaning through them as a Christmas wish for you, my readers, but already I know I can’t pull it off. So how about I just hang a string of disjointed thoughts (in mostly muted colors) and thank you in advance for receiving them as is.\n\nOn Sunday we got the terrible news that our nephew’s nine-year-old son in Paraguay (where my husband’s family lives) was killed in a motorcycle accident. How these things happen: the father and his son riding home after a bit of a visit elsewhere in the (farming) village, the mother emerging from their driveway in the car at the very moment they reached it, he braking, the bike flipping and the child was under it and with a last gasp his life ended. The funeral was this morning. The father is the age of our oldest son, they played together when we lived in Paraguay, they have children the same age. “There are no words I can write that will make this better,” our son wrote his cousin, “but please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.” There are no words indeed.\n\nAmong the details we’ve received about the accident are the last minutes of the boy’s life. Death shines an intense light on such moments just before it comes! While his father visited, the boy played with the hosts’ dog, throwing him a toy to fetch and bring back. The game delighted him. When it was time to go home, he thanked the neighbors–and he thanked the dog!\n\nLast evening I happened to be reading an article about Chesterton on joy. He defined joy as the reaction to the fact of existence. Such joy, he said, is a characteristic feature of childhood; a child sees the world in the light of an “eternal morning.” Childhood, for him, wasn’t about a foundational stage of development or a “fairyland” from which adult life descends, but rather, in its “response to existence as sheer gift, through wondering joy” was the key to ontology (being)–a gift received “with the dawn of consciousness itself” and remaining, though easily obscured, as “the proper criterion for adult sensibility.” I’ve recently seen this joy in our grandchildren and I can tug back to such moments myself, as a child and since. And now, though no words can bring him back, I’m inspired by the joy highlighted by a dog and boy at play. My wish for 2015 is to seek more intentionally for this gift: “this submerged sunrise of wonder.”\n\nWorking darkly through the grief",
null,
"I’m including the image–in small–of a recent piece by artist Miriam Rudolph, because of what it says about grief (Miriam lost her beloved father, also in an unexpected accident this summer) and to coax you to her blog where she posts and talks about work in progress, especially (understandably) some darker work of late.\n\nThe image and her title “Searching” remind me of something Heather Plett wrote in a recent post called “Going Dark”:\n\nAll around us (at least in the Northern hemisphere), the world is slowing down and getting darker. The animals are going into hibernation, the trees are settling into their dormancy, the snow is covering the earth in a blanket of softness, the sun is moving further and further south and leaving us with longer hours of darkness… In this season of fading light, ask yourself what treasures are to be found in darkness.\n\nA poem fragment helps, as does snow\n\nI generally like the northern winter, with its unique opportunities to hibernate, but I found autumn especially sad this year–simply too soon–and then we’d been in B.C. in November where it was mild and still in pretty-fall mode and returned at a bleak time here…well, as we Winnipegers complain every year when winter comes: “I’m not ready!” I soon realized, however, that it wasn’t lack of readiness within me as much as deep resistance. Resentment. During this time I was asked to blurb a collection of poems by the late Esther Martens Regehr, and just like that, several beautiful lines from her poem “White Absolution” cleared my heart. She’s speaking here of snow (flakes):\n\na healing skin settling\nover autumn’s raw wounds.\nThrow yourself\non their soft mercy,\nraise your arms\nin surrender: see the outline\nof a divine messenger…\n\nTo which I simply must add another image by Miriam Rudolph, her Christmas card this year: a messenger in black and white, for wintery times…",
null,
"And lastly. Dustan Hlady, a young writer and teacher from Moose Jaw, who writes for the new online magazine Citadel contacted me some weeks ago. He’d read my long short story (aka novella) “Mask” in The Malahat Review and wondered if I’d be interested in doing a phone conversation with him for a “podcast article”. Sure, why not? I’d never done a podcast conversation before, and I think it was one of his first at well. It was a pleasure to back-and-forth (aka ramble on my part) though I haven’t had the nerve to listen to it myself. There was a fair bit of laughter, I recall, when he invited me to play a little story-making game, one he used to play with his brothers. Apparently it was a great success when they did it. So he began. “The”. The? Dustan, Dustan, what kind of beginning is that? So I’m looking madly around, trying to think of a good noun and all I see is the mug that holds the pens on my desk. “Mug”. So we’ve got “The mug…” Let’s just say the story deteriorated even further from there. But it was fun, and my thanks to Dustan for the conversation, and wishing him all the best in his writing endeavours.\n\n10 thoughts on “A string of December thoughts”"

"Rob McRae and Glennie Bench hold up a $1,000 donation from the All In Together campaign.\n\nWhen Rob McRae called Glennie Bench with an idea to support local businesses and express gratitude to those on the frontlines of service, she wanted to help him get the project going.\n\nMcRae’s idea was to buy meals from local restaurants and caterers with donations from local businesses and individuals and deliver those meals to our local heroes.\n\n“We can’t begin to comprehend the stress this virus has brought to the healthcare community and first responders. Although a free lunch doesn’t begin to solve the problem of this pandemic, we hope a little show of appreciation can help boost morale”, says Rob McRae. “We also hope that spreading some business around the restaurant industry can help ease some of the financial strain that has come with the shelter-in-place order.”\n\n“We are surrounded by people who go to work everyday to serve the rest of our community. And the rest of us owe it to them to say ‘Thank you’”, says Glennie Bench, Chairperson of the Hospital Authority of Bainbridge and Decatur County and City Council member.\n\nWithin 24 hours, Scott Ewing, President of First Port City Bank, made the first donation and the “All In Together” campaign began.\n\n“Without the financial support from local businesses this would have been nothing more than an idea. It’s just amazing to see how quickly everyone jumped on board when they heard what we were trying to do”, says McRae. In addition to the already mentioned, donations have been received from First National Bank of Decatur County, Rusty and Charlotte Davis, Wheat and Natalie Kirbo, Farm Credit of Southwest Georgia, Five Star Credit Union, Bank OZK, 3 Rivers Realty, and other donors that wished to remain anonymous.\n\nThanks to the generosity of all these businesses and individuals, All In Together has already provided 474 meals to the entire staff of Memorial Hospital and Manor. First responders and support staff with the City of Bainbridge and Decatur County are next. And meals have been purchased from Crave Eatery, Southern Philosophy, The Bean, Boyd’s BBQ, Bonnie Blue House, Eats Southern Cookin’, Catering by JLo, Simply Southern Catering, The Pond House, Uncle Bill’s Pizza, The Grill at Bainbridge Country Club, and the pair is still reaching out to other restaurants to include as many as possible.\n\nBench added, “To all the local heroes who risk their own health to care for us when we’re sick; to those who protect and serve; to the crews who keep our water, sewer and natural gas systems working; to those who dispatch first responders wherever the need; and to the teams who support all those critical services – thank you.”\n\nIf you are interested in donating to support this project, make checks payable to Inland Family Foundation and write “All In Together” on the memo, and mail to PO Box 1510, Bainbridge, GA 39818."

"Jordan Spieth watches his ball after teeing off from the fourth tee during the pro-am at the AT&T Byron Nelson golf tournament at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, Wednesday, May 16, 2018. (Vernon Bryant/The Dallas Morning News via AP)(Photo: The Associated Press)\n\nHere’s some helpful perspective as hundreds of thousands of fans travel deep into southern Dallas this week for the AT&T Byron Nelson at its new home at the Trinity Forest Golf Club:\n\nWhile the tournament is the biggest thing to happen in what’s historically been a forgotten part of the city, it’s just that – a cool, fun happening. Even a string of PGA Tour events won’t convert directly into economic development and quality-of-life improvements that so many parts of southern Dallas desperately need.\n\nBut it would be foolish to think the Byron Nelson’s move is no big deal.\n\nMayor Mike Rawlings, who gave us a golf-cart tour of the Trinity Forest club last week, notes, “The decision by the heavy hitters behind this tournament – AT&T, the Salesmanship Club, the PGA – that this is where they want to be sends a powerful message about this part of our city and its future.”\n\nMany naysayers said it would never happen. Yet the tournament tees off this week, on its 50th anniversary – a proof point for all the voices, including this newspaper, that believe in the southern half of the city and continue to focus on it.\n\nThe exposure from roughly 250,000 visitors over five days – not to mention those watching on TV – will help demystify a part of the city that boasts North Texas’ most beautiful topography and is home to outdoor recreational oases such as the Trinity River Audubon Center and the Great Trinity Forest trails.\n\nThe hope is that the Byron Nelson will have not just the halo effect of generating curiosity, especially among those whose knowledge of southern Dallas is limited to the State Fair of Texas and the Bishop Arts District, but also will create a constructive ripple effect.\n\nStakeholders are determined to not be another example of white privilege trampling on surrounding communities, which have been kicked around for generations. They acknowledge that they still have much to learn about finding ways to link with the area’s residents, businesses and institutions.\n\nWe couldn’t agree more. In fact, how that goal is accomplished is more important than even how much money the tournament raises.\n\nThe Salesmanship Club of Dallas operates the Byron Nelson tournament, using the event as its major fundraiser to power the Oak Cliff-based Momentous Institute.\n\nMomentous, which has long been in the business of improving the social-emotional health of children and their families, has deep experience listening and partnering within neighborhoods. Its track record of plugging in on meaningful efforts, not fly-by initiatives, gives us confidence that those behind the Byron will live up to their promises.\n\nMichelle Kinder, Momentous executive director, told us: “This move into southern Dallas represents stepping into the larger community picture, with more responsibility and more commitment. We talk about the need for Dallas to be as good a place for kids as it is for business. That can’t happen until we begin partnering with and elevating communities that today feel invisible.”\n\nWell said. Once the inaugural southern Dallas tournament is in the books, we look forward to the next chapters."

Most of what I scroll through is crap: Either advertising, or posts from people or pages that I don’t really care about. But I am crippled by FOMO: The fear of missing out. With so many hundreds of posts running through my timeline every day, I worry that if I don’t check it constantly, I will miss an interesting post from someone I do care about.\n\nFinally, I decided to sit down and fix my Facebook feed, and the result was astonishing.\n\nThen, I went into the “Manage List” button for each list, and selected “Choose Update Types.” For “Close Friends,” I elected to view everything. For “Acquaintances,” I unchecked every item, thus electing to see nothing.\n\nAfter checking my feed, I saw that despite my efforts, there were still people on the “Close Friends” list who had updates that were not showing up. Although Facebook keeps its exact formula for deciding what to show on timelines a closely guarded secret, I am pretty sure that the more you interact with someone, the more they show up on your feed.\n\nSo I decided to demonstrate to Facebook that I really, really want to see things from the people on my “Close Friends” list. I went through and “liked” dozens of items from everyone on that list. “Facebook has got to notice this!” I said to myself.\n\nFacebook did notice, and after I had like-spammed about 10 people, Facebook decided I had liked enough people for one day and blocked me from liking anything else on my feed. It was frustrating, but the next day I was able to continue the project. No real harm.\n\nWhile wrestling with limitations on “liking” things, I also noticed that I was still seeing posts in my timeline from people that I didn’t care about, even though I specifically said that I didn’t want to see anything from people on the “Acquaintances” list. I decided it was time to unfollow some people.\n\nIn case you are not aware: You can be friends with someone, but select “unfollow” so that their material doesn’t show up in your feed. Similarly, you can “like” a page but select “unfollow” so that you don’t see posts from a page. This is perfect for the obnoxious relative whom it would be impolite to unfriend, or the page that a friend begged you to “like” even though you couldn’t possibly care less about its posts.\n\nFor a while I was hunting through my friends list or feed to find people or pages to “unfollow,” when I discovered a secret: The Facebook iPad app has an item that I couldn’t find on the Facebook browser page. In the app, on the left hand menu, you can scroll down to the bottom group of menu items called “Settings” and there is an option called “Manage News Feed.”\n\nThis page was a bulk follow/unfollow tool, that allows you to quickly and easily go through your friends, pages, and groups, and choose whether you want to follow them. I breathed a sigh of relief: This would make things easier.\n\nDon’t think it was quick and painless, however. In a way, unfollowing masses of people on Facebook is like extracting yourself from hundreds of dysfunctional relationships all at once.\n\nYou find that person whose pictures you like looking at, but who has never given you the time of day: Should you really be spending your time following them? You find that acquaintance who posts hundreds of things a day, but never responds to your comments or attempts to communicate: Is scrolling through that person’s posts really worth your time?\n\nFor some people, it might be. I am certainly not trying to tell anyone how they should be using Facebook. But after thinking about the sheer amount of time I spend on Facebook each day, I decided I would rather spend my time interacting with friends that I have a two-way relationship with. So if there is someone on my list who clutters up my feed, but who never interacts with me, then: Unfollow.\n\nPages that I “liked” to show support for a friend or a cause, but that I don’t want to see updates from? Unfollow. Groups that I joined because a friend asked me to, but that don’t really interest me? Unfollow. Pages that post mostly news, even though I prefer to get my news elsewhere? Unfollow.\n\nIt was going very well, except that about one-third of the way into it, Facebook decided I had unfollowed too many people in one day, and that I wasn’t allowed to unfollow anyone else for a while. Twenty-four hours later I was able to continue the project, so it was no big deal; however, it still felt insulting, like when a bank tries to charge you a fee for closing your account.\n\nFinally, I was finished. I had unfollowed everything except for the select group of friends whom I want to interact with, who I know will interact back with me, and whose posts I really care about. I had unfollowed almost every page and group, and I had unfollowed anyone with whom I had a purely voyeuristic relationship. I finally had Facebook configured to perform the task I originally signed up for in 2005: Letting me interact with my friends online.\n\nI took a deep breath, waited for 12 hours just to make sure Facebook had “registered” all of the changes I had made, and clicked on “Timeline.”\n\nThat was when I made the biggest discovery of the entire project: My feed was boring.\n\nThat isn’t to say that my friends are boring; they are not. But the people I actually care about don’t post that often. Certainly they aren’t producing hundreds of posts a day. If I kept to my previous schedule of reflexively checking Facebook every hour or so throughout the day, there was very little new information. Instead, there were just a lot of ads.\n\nThat was when I learned an important lesson: All of the noise and chaos in my feed, all of the posts from people and pages I didn’t care about, all of the comments and random items appearing out of chronological order, kept me effectively glued to Facebook. It took advantage of my FOMO: I felt that I needed to check Facebook every hour, just to scroll through the junk (and advertising) on the off chance that I would see something that mattered.\n\nNow that I have configured my feed so it only shows me posts that matter to me (and advertising), it turns out that I only need to check Facebook once or twice a day. So now, the time I used to spend scrolling through a messy boring feed, I can spend on doing other things instead. I can spend it on doing things that don’t involve being on Facebook. Which, I suppose, is exactly why Facebook makes it so difficult in the first place.\n\nPhoto via Markus Grossalber/Flickr (CC BY 2.0)"

"Home Recommended Points of view Russia: the reasons for the inefficiency of ...",
null,
"A tradition of the armed forces of theAncient Regime was that the looting was not carried out before the decisive battle, in order not to worsen the logistics, the cohesion and ultimately the efficiency of the armed forces due to the transport and division of the loot. To paraphrase General Ben Hodges, Russian soldiers are evidently as medieval as their officers, and the latter are not very clever. This is witnessed by the story of Vitaliy S.'s I-Pads, stolen from his home in Hostomel, north of Kiev, by a soldier of the Moscow forces during the weeks of the useless and inglorious occupation and brought with him by the uniformed thief through Belarus and up to Donbass. Thanks to this, as to many other nonsense done by Russian soldiers - and allowed by their officers - Ukrainian intelligence has been tracking entire battalions for several weeks.\n\nThe impression that the Russians are, so to speak, little aware of technical developments is confirmed by other imprudences. In the future, for example, it will be possible to try to prosecute Russian troops who allegedly have been guilty of rape, kidnapping, torture, arbitrary arrest, brutal violence, extortion and murder in defiance of international law of war, because we have the wiretapping of their phone calls. in clear text, the messages on the messaging systems found on the devices worn by prisoners and dead, the DNA of the rapists, the geolocation of individuals and departments, etc. We are in 2022 but - unfortunately or fortunately - the Russian troops they seem1 carry on an ancient tradition of violence against civilians in the manner and lack of prudence of the past two centuries. They do so without thinking too much about the fact that one day, when these soldiers will be able to leave the borders of their so-called \"empire\", they will have the police of hundreds of countries to hunt them down, also because their personal data have been (or will be ) hacked and their traces (DNA, documents, digital signals, etc.) are abundant in crime sites as well as on the web.\n\nThe fact is that in Moscow they have not yet realized that they had played the advantage they had in 1945 and that allowed 99,9% of the guilty to get away with it, when in a few months they carried out the largest mass rape in history, to damage to 1,4 million German women, as well as tens of thousands of Jewish, Polish, Baltic and even Soviet prisoners who have just been liberated from the Nazi concentration camps.\n\nAccording to some historians, Stalin claimed to \"understand if a soldier who has traveled thousands of kilometers through blood, fire and death has fun with a woman or does some nonsense ...\" how to sexually abuse it, deserves tolerance: “We teach our soldiers too much - would have argued - let them take their initiatives \".",

"Then as now, the fumus mainly concerns troops from the central and eastern regions of the state. The difference today compared to then is not the numbers but the geopolitics: between the spring of 1945 and 23 February 2022, Moscow enjoyed the immense credit of having contributed in a decisive way to overthrow the Hitler regime. Anyone who believes that vile economic interest alone has led to ignoring the Kremlin violence in the Caucasus, Syria and the Black Sea would be wrong to a fact: for 77 years Russia was Hitler's winner. Today, said credit has run out, indeed the Russian Federation for the Free World has put on the very clothes of Hitler's Germany, substituting the ideology of the Russian World for that of Living Space and adopting chauvinism and revanchism in the manner of the Nazis. In short, since February 24, Russia has been reduced to a pariah, a prisoner of its own errors and horrors.\n\nIt is not surprising that, still considering himself an \"untouchable\", excluding self-criticism and not accepting himself for that poor and isolated country that it is now, he allows his officers and soldiers to do nonsense, unpunished who think they are, like that of the I-Pad.\n\nThis irrationality is not without geopolitical consequences:\n\nIn conclusion, Russia seems so medieval to us, because it has always remained itself, a bit like 120 years ago the China - the imperial one - of the widowed Empress, unable to adapt and absorb the news as it did instead. Japan Meji, but also without the contribution of the jewels of the old empires, Tsarist and Soviet, namely the Baltics and Finns and their practical and analytical intelligence, as well as the Ukrainians and their industriousness and their warrior spirit.

"WNO presents soprano-watcher's Norma, and a fine evening for anyone who likes their betrayals bel canto beautiful\n\nIn the words of Jean Genet, ”Anyone who hasn’t experienced the ecstasy of betrayal knows nothing about ecstasy at all.”\n\nAnd anyone who likes their betrayal operatically ecstatic must seek out Bellini’s Norma. For despite its backstory of Gallic druids versus their Roman occupiers, Norma is your ultimate destination for the agony and outrage of discovering that you have been replaced by a younger model (and not just any flibbertigibbet, but one under your own care and control).",
null,
"And even if it comes at the beginning of the opera and only alludes, through its Druid prayers, to the tumult of emotional chaos, Norma’s mournful aria ”Casta Diva” epitomizes for many the abject sorrow and loss of the most intimate of betrayals. It is the first (and most telling) event of an emotionally and vocally challenging opera and has, not surprisingly, drawn some of the genre’s greatest names, each with their own ardent followers. (For some it will always be Maria Callas, for me, Joan Sutherland.)\n\nIt’s no surprise that one could have heard a pin drop on opening night, when soprano Angela Meade began the slow, ritualistic walk among her acolytes announcing, along with Bellini’s gently ponderous notes, this most famous of arias. And the bottom line is that does not disappoint. Poised and suitably majestic, Meade brings with beautiful, silken control all of the necessary delicacy and grand poignancy of this sublimest of songs. If she is young enough to grow further into the role, she is already wonderful enough to deliver a tear to the eye.\n\nAnd, even with this triumph behind her, Meade only grows stronger and more at ease as the evening progresses. Her duet with Adalgisa, the “other” woman (who is as shocked as Norma to discover that they are in love with the same man), ”Mira, o Norma,” is confidently and vigorously accomplished. At the finale, when Norma decides that druidic honor and personal heartbreak are best served by death, Meade brings much soul to her mournful plea that Oroveso (her father and an elder priest) watch over her children. By the time she has exacted his promise, her affirmation that she is at last at peace is all the more gloriously gut-wrenching.\n\nThese are memorable moments, even if in earlier scenes Meade’s slightly lukewarm bond with her children never quite convinces, especially in the scene in which she contemplates killing them to spare them the shame and danger of Pollione’s abandonment. Indeed, she suffers from a phenomenon that has lasted through the ages; that her children seem far more attached to their young nanny, Clotilde, played with notable subtlety and sung affectingly by Julia Mintzer. But even if Meade doesn’t yet project such dimensions (and one feels she eventually will), she gets so much else right in this remarkably self-possessed character, it is hard to over-quibble.\n\nAlso missing some of its stuffing, but through no fault of Meade’s, is the pivotal scene in which Norma and Adalgisa realize that Pollione is their mutual obsession. Director Anne Bogart overthinks it with some unnecessary handling of picture-bearing lockets and Cad of the Year Pollione’s oddly tentative entrance. Thus deflated, the moment fails. Matters are not helped generally by conductor Daniele Rustioni, who, despite drawing some good power and continuity, allows, at other times, a certain flaccidity.\n\nYet even with these issues, the evening is more than carried by Meade and Dolora Zajick, who offers a convincing Adalgisa, despite appearing somewhat older than Meade. An elegant mezzo-soprano, Zajick is a worthy match for Meade, with power, subtlety and high expression. And with her low-key characterization of Adalgisa, as the drama mounts the focus narrows to faces and voices, which is just where this Norma belongs.\n\nThis austerity of vision is reflected in the effective set of Neil Patel, who with a whiff of Kandinsky, contrasts the geometry of a minimalist foreground with a sky that hangs like a chaotic maw. Against the powdery whites of a steeply sloped stage, Norma’s altar (and later garden) appears as a dark and earthy disk. Altogether, it nicely complements the stark intensity of this Norma and the emotion that roils beneath her public life. If Bogart’s ideas for the chorus never quite gel and the acolytes’ ho-hum dances are a missed opportunity, it’s not enough to dispel this palpable mood.\n\nAnother missed opportunity is Rafael Davila’s Pollione. Not helped by a rather incongruous contemporary leather duster, Davila never quite connects with either of his formidably poised women, despite a convincingly masculine energy. Neither can he breech the gap vocally, for although he offers some pleasing oomph, there is an unevenness throughout. Not quite ready for his vocal close-up, tenor Mauricio Miranda as Flavio, Pollione’s friend, is expressive and attractive in tone and gives the small role some decent color.\n\nFor the men, the true vocal counterpoint to Meade and Zajick comes with bass Dmitry Beloselskiy in the role of Oroveso, Norma’s father. Matching the women in stage wattage and singing with a gorgeously sonorous yet expressive command, Beloselskiy helps to deliver the necessary gravitas to Norma’s question of honor. In a character that might easily have turned cardboard, he gives us a man who wanted to but couldn’t ignore his principles.\n\nSo, although not perfect viewing, this is a soprano-watchers’ Norma and a gratifying evening for anyone who likes their betrayals bel canto beautiful."

"While suicide rates have dropped in recent years, about 4,500 people take their own lives each year in England, The British Prime Minister Theresa appointed Jackie Doyle-Price as Minister for Mental Health, Inequalities and Suicide Prevention.\n\nThe Appointment was announced barring Months after appointing its first minister for loneliness,Doyle-Price will work with both the national and local government, experts in suicide and self-harm prevention, charities, clinicians and those personally affected by suicide. She will also ensure every local area has an effective suicide prevention plan in place, and will explore how technology can be used to identify those most at risk.\n\nMental health services in Britain have become increasingly stretched in recent years as demand has increased against the backdrop of budget cuts mandated by the government’s decade-long austerity policy.\n\nDoyle-Price, who was a junior minister in the Department of Health, said: In my time as health minister I have met many people who have been bereaved by suicide and their stories of pain and loss will stay with me for a long time.\n\nIt’s these people who need to be at the heart of what we do and I welcome this opportunity to work closely with them, as well as experts, to oversee a cross-government suicide prevention plan, making their sure their views are always heard.\n\nMatt Hancock, the health secretary, acknowledged on Wednesday that mental health services had been short of resources as he began a new initiative to put mental health on an equal footing with physical health.\n\n“The truth is that, for an awfully long time, mental health has simply not had the same level of support — both in terms of resources, but also in terms of how we as a society talk about it compared to physical health, and we want to change that,”.",

"All over the world, plants and animals are increasingly threatened by human activities and habitat encroachment. A 2019 study published in Science News estimates that 1 million species face extinction within decades. The natural world makes the planet livable by cleaning the air, filtering water, cycling carbon dioxide and pollinating crops. To impede biodiversity loss, governments are working to set aside more space for natural habitats. The UN Convention on Biodiversity, which is now under consideration, seeks to designate 30 percent of land and sea as protected by 2030 and 50 percent by 2050 in order to revive ecosystems and safeguard the diversity of species on Earth. Humans have altered more than three-quarters of Earth’s surface, and of the 14 terrestrial biomes, such as tropical rainforest, tundra or desert, eight retain less than 10 percent of undeveloped wilderness, according to a 2016 study in Current Biology. Many species have already vanished.\nIn-Print Global and Health Briefs National Content Global Brief Environment Nature August 2020"

"\"Fool and Idiot\" may seem like a strange name for a band. But as the members explain, fool represents the most unsocial inner self, and idiot means one who is influenced by the public and trends.\n\nOne of the three Taiwan bands featured in the second season of the online music variety show \"Big Band,\" the four-man group has left some very impressive notes. CGTN reporter Yang Ran sat down with them in their Beijing rehearsal studio.\n\nUnlike bands who chose explosive songs with strong beats and virtuoso solos, Fool & Idiot performed \"5:10 am,\" a melancholy song from their first and only studio recording \"Till 5:10 am.\"\n\nThey failed to make the second round. And though viewers voted them back to the stage in an online poll, they didn't advance.",
null,
"\"Firstly, 5:10 am is a comparatively popular song in this album. Secondly, the song tells our style pretty well. We didn't focus on breaking out of the competitors. We cared more about presenting the band more precisely and completely to the public,\" lead vocalist Eric Tsai said.\n\nPeople got to know the four in 2018 from the 2nd season of the online music contest \"The Coming One.\" Lead vocalist Eric Tsai clinched the title and introduced the band in the competition. Most contestants dream of winning a talent show and becoming an idol, but not Tsai.\n\n\"My aspiration has always been playing in a band. The talent show might bring me some glory in the market, but that is not very important to me. What I think most important is to make some good works in the band,\" Tsai said.\n\nThe guys came together in 2015, and released their first album \"Till 5:10 am\" in June 2019. The recording is notable in several aspects, such as the lyrics, the sophisticated arrangements, and the use of varied instrumental elements. It is their observations of their surroundings, reflections, and apparently, the spirit of youth.",

"Fool and Idiot rehearsing in a Beijing studio. /CGTN\n\nFool and Idiot rehearsing in a Beijing studio. /CGTN\n\n\"Eric wrote 'Life Recording' in his second or third year in university. All I can recall from that period is that we sat outside the convenience store, chatting and drinking till dawn. We talked about philosophy that we thought was profound. That was a rather moody university student condition. But I won't call it naive and stupid, because everyone has experienced that confusion and loss,\" Drummer Weijun said.\n\n\"'Till 5:10 am' is about a condition. Our condition in 2016 and 2017 before we finished the album. That was the post-adolescence state. That was the uncertainty about the future, and the pressure to enter society. We didn't want to inject any opinion of value specifically. It was more like a pure expression and portrayal of our conditions. It is a small set-up that only focusing on our own situations,\" Tsai said.\n\nAfter signing with a Beijing-based talent agency, the four got quite a few chances for exposure on the mainland. There's no hesitation in embracing the commercial market. They hold tight to their original intention of doing music and dare to dream big.\n\n\"The reality is whether your performance is impressive enough or not. If you want to survive in the market, you have to be seen by many. You have to be consumed by the shows or any party A. If we're going to be consumed, at least we can decide how good are we when we are consumed.\" Tsai said.\n\n\"I want to perform in the Taipei Arena,\" Bassist Yibang said.\n\n\"We will receive that kind of invitation when our songs are good enough,\" Tsai followed up."

"The 67th Annual Red Mass will be held at the Cathedral on Sunday, October 6 at 10am, with Archbishop Wilton Gregory as principal celebrant and homilist.\n\nThe John Carroll Society hosts the Red Mass for its members and guests, including many government officials with attendant security. It is open to the public, but attendance is very high. If you normally attend the 10am Mass, you may wish to consider attending another Mass that weekend. Please note that the 8:30am Mass is cancelled that day.\n\nIf you plan to attend the Red Mass, please arrive early as the fire marshal will not allow entry once the Cathedral is filled to capacity. Thank you for helping us extend the Cathedral’s hospitality to the John Carroll Society for this celebration.\n\nOn February 15, 1953, Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle celebrated the first John Carroll Society-sponsored Red Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle. In succeeding years, the congregation frequently has included the President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the United States, Associate Justices, other leading federal, and local jurists, cabinet officials, members of Congress, diplomats, university presidents, deans, professors, students of law, and lawyers.\n\nThe Red Mass is celebrated annually at the Cathedral, traditionally on the Sunday before the first Monday in October, which marks the opening of the Supreme Court's annual term. Its purpose is to invoke God's blessings on those responsible for the administration of justice as well as on all public officials.\n\nSince its inception, the Red Mass has remained the ceremonial highlight of the John Carroll Society’s year. Liturgically, the Red Mass is celebrated as the Solemn Mass of the Holy Spirit. Its name derives from the traditional red color of the vestments worn by clergy during the Mass, representing the tongues of fire symbolizing the presence of the Holy Spirit.\n\nThe Red Mass enjoys a rich history. Originating centuries ago in Rome, Paris and London, its name also exemplifies the scarlet rose worn by royal judges that attended the Mass centuries ago. The Red Mass historically marked the official opening of the judicial year of the Sacred Roman Rota, the tribunal of the Holy See. During the reign of Louis IX (Saint Louis of France), La Sainte Chapelle in Paris was designated as the chapel for the Mass. In England, beginning in the Middle Ages and continuing even through World War II, judges and lawyers have attended the Red Mass, which today is celebrated annually at Westminster Cathedral."

"A Quick Comparison Between Crypto Currency, Gold, and Bitcoin\n\nIn certain spots, gold appears to have more significant spot in the monetary world. Then again, certain individuals start to consider Bitcoin to be a legitimate strategy to hold our reserve funds.\n\nIndividuals have been utilizing gold as a kind of cash since centuries prior; while Bitcoin has been around just barely longer than 10 years. Albeit the idea has gone through some developing interaction, gold actually has an unavoidable impact on the lookout. Bitcoin guarantees nonstop upgrades in comfort, security and usefulness. Specialists have contrasted the present status of Bitcoin and the Internet in the early and mid 1990’s. Advocates of Bitcoin contend that virtually all headways identified with gold have effectively occurred as seen by the mass acknowledgment of any actual gold bullion items since a centuries prior. Indeed, some organization acquisitions have been performing utilizing gold as cash. They simply don’t believe that the public authority will not go into hyper expansion.\n\nThe possibility of gold versus Bitcoin is a significant contention worth racking. Maybe than picking one of them; a large number of us would like to utilize a mix of them to exploit the more desirable characteristics of each. Truth be told, we have seen a concurrence among Bitcoin and gold, as “Casascius coins. This the main case of Bitcoin and gold meeting up and it will not be the last.\n\nEthereum another digital currency is at $1,549.00. It’s typically best mined with Raedon illustrations cards x 5 or 6 set up on racks for ideal association. Lan links permit it to dig at high rates for a benefit over power use..\n\nPaper cash is our answer for further develop dissemination and gold is our predecessor’s answer for safeguard the worth of money. The metal is less influenced to swelling, since it is significantly more costly than paper or other modest metals. What’s more, digital currency is the new innovative stuff to give dependability during exchanges, with the agelessness and accuracy of a Swiss watch.\n\nNotwithstanding the analysis, Bitcoin and other cryptographic forms of money will keep on engaging many individuals because of its particular benefits, particularly when contrasted with ordinary monetary standards, for example, paper cash which gets expanded and is frequently lost, spent, or taken.\n\nIt depends on momentary, direct P2P (shared) exchanges to totally stay away from lumbering and costly electronic installment frameworks. Over the long haul, financial backers would find that Bitcoin conveys further developed store of significant worth than any sequentially printed level monetary forms.\n\nThe Bitcoin convention sets a cap for the measure of bitcoins accessible at one time. There will consistently be 21 million bitcoins and the framework appears to be more fair than even the US dollar on occasion. With Bitcoin and other digital currencies, shoppers could get expanded monetary security; in spite of the fact that there are worries that the public authority will quietly take advantage of the framework with consistent monetary observing."

"Guilford Green Foundation’s Green Queen Bingo is back and announced its 2019 dates. This year, GGF partnered with Greensboro Pride with a goal to bring Greensboro’s LGBTQ community and its straight allies closer together.\n\n“[Green Queen Bingo] has always been a great community event that brings together the LGBTQ community and our straight allies to raise money for Guilford Green Foundation, and just to have fun playing bingo with drag queens,” said Jennifer Ruppe, the executive director of the Guilford Green Foundation and LGBTQ Center. “In my opinion, that is the best way to play bingo.”\n\nRuppe said attendance for Green Queen Bingo is usually between 300-400 people. She said she is excited that GGF and Greensboro Pride decided to partner for 2019 and onward because she believes that they would be more efficient in raising money and providing LGBTQ events to the Greensboro community. Ruppe said the funds raised would go mainly to support grants given out by the foundation, the LGBTQ center, and also support the Greensboro Pride festival.\n\n“So 2019 kicks off a new partnership with us, and we see it as a win-win,” Ruppe said. “We get to bring together two major organizations in the community, and hopefully reach even more people and raise even more money to give back to the community.”\n\nRuppe said that Fuscia Rage (aka Brian Coleman, vice chair of Alternative Resources of the Triad and secretary of Greensboro Pride) would be the Green Queen host and that there would be 10 games of bingo with cash prizes for winners along with drag performances in between.\n\nShe said the evening would be broken up by an opening performance from drag queens, and performances after every two sets of bingo.\n\n“I am very excited to be back again this year as the Green Queen,” Rage said. “I am just very excited that GGF and Greensboro Pride has this opportunity to be able to come together and involve more of the community.”\n\nRuppe said since all the performers are volunteers, she could not advertise who would all be in attendance and performing, but there are usually five or six performers at each bingo event. Ruppe said tips are strongly encouraged because performers are donating their time and resources.\n\n“All the queens that do the Green Queen Bingo are all on a voluntary basis, so this is all of our own time, talent and it all goes, of course, to a good cause,” Rage said. “Crystal Frost and I have attended and participated in every single bingo with the exception of about five in the very beginning. We are very much bingo veterans. Crystal Frost is our Duchess of Protocol; she keeps us in line and makes sure we don’t get too rowdy.”\n\nRuppe said after each game there is a cash prize and it typically starts small and increases with each game. The largest prize is $100.69, and that all cash prizes are a dollar amount plus 69 cents because “it is just a funny number in bingo.”\n\n“We have special balls that cause reactions, such as B7 or B4, where [attendees] will bang on the table and act like a little kid,” Rage said. “Of course, everyone’s favorite bingo ball is 69, and we all know the reaction that should get.”\n\n“A lot of our bingoers, they don’t have the opportunity to get out to a regular [drag] show, typically at a bar or nightclub somewhere. And what we have used bingo as is a form of teaching tolerance and understanding,” Rage said. “There is a misconception that all drag queens want to be girls, and that is not necessarily true. It is an art form; it is a character that you portray. Especially now, we are blurring those lines of social norms, and what is acceptable and what isn’t acceptable. I think this is just another way to instill in our local society a bit more tolerance and understanding, and just to have good fun.”\n\nRuppe and Rage said ticket sales and sponsorships are how the event raises money, and that local business or organizations can sponsor each game of bingo.\n\n“It is expensive to look this cheap, as Dolly Parton said,” Rage remarked. “Support your local LGBTQ organizations, businesses, and allies that are so wonderful to us and continue to provide us with places to do this. Come and have a good time, this is a place to let your hair down.”\n\nThe dates for future Green Queen Bingo are April 26, (which Rage said would be a “seeing double,” celebrity theme) Sept. 13 (which would be right before Greensboro Pride, and have a summer theme) and Nov. 8, (which Rage said will have a “holiday-mash up” theme).\n\n“Please participate,” Rage said of the upcoming bingo on Jan. 11 and future bingo dates. “Wear your rainbow attire, your colors to represent your ally status or rainbow to show your LGBTQ pride. Dress like your favorite celebrity in April, wear your beachwear in September and then holiday festivities, ugly sweaters, Halloween costumes [in Novemeber]. We always encourage people to participate in whatever the theme is, it just makes it more fun.”\n\nGreen Queen Bingo is open to all and takes place Friday, Jan. 11 from 6 to 11 p.m. at The Terrace at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex, 1921 W. Gate City Blvd. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the game starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission or $12 for students or government with I.D., and can be purchased online at www.guilfordgreenfoundation.org/bingo-tickets/. This is an all-ages event, but the recommended age of attendees is 15 and up. The next fundraiser benefitting GGF is the GRAWL Brawl X: Cupid’s Revenge on Feb. 16 at Gibb’s Hundred Brewing Company (504 State St.) from 7 to 10 p.m."

"I went to the 2014 Rochester Teen Book Festival this past Saturday at Nazereth College with a group of my friends. We couldn’t believe how many people showed up this year. They estimated around 3,000 teenagers, librarians, teachers, and other interested folks had shown up. I even spotted a couple of bloggers and booktubers in the crowd. Ariel Bissett, a popular booktuber, walked past our group, but I don’t get a chance to talk to her. That would have been cool. I snapped a few pictures from the opening.",

"Laurie Halse Anderson (Left) and multiple authors (Right) enter.\nMy friends and I entered a few of the drawings and won a few things, but you can see that in the Swag and Book posts. Here I want to focus on my experiences with the authors and the panels. Our first panel of the day was with Meagan Spooner (author of the Shadowlark trilogy and Co-author of These Broken Stars) and Cecil Castellucci (author of Tin Star). They talked about Women and Sci-Fi. Both had a lot of really interesting things to say and unique perspectives about writing sci-fi. We talked about Star Trek, and Doctor Who, Cecil talked about the roleplaying game she made to go with Tin Star and Meagan talked about her galaxy shoes from ModCloth. You can kind of see them in the picture.",

"The next panel was my favorite out of the four we saw. Paolo Bacigalupi (Ship Breaker), Neal Shusterman (author of 44 books including the popular Unwind Dystology) and Alex London (Proxy and Guardian) talked about their preoccupation with damaged worlds.",

"Alex London had not been at the opening due to a flight delay. Of the three authors with flight delays, only Alex managed to make it to the event. Margaret Stohl and Ann Brashares did not make it so we left out piles for them in the car. Alex, Neal, and Paolo were so enjoyable to listen to. They all have great senses of humor and had a lot to say. Alex made a joke about reading the biography of Pol Pot while writing Guardian says, “You know, the heartwarming story of a boy and his genocide”, which I promptly quoted on Twitter. Paolo talked about being very depressed while writing one of his dystopians and having to writing his humorous zombie book to cope. Neal discussed how he liked to write all sorts of different things, never really wanting to be a formula writer.",

"Next, we went to see the debut authors panel with Amber Lough (Fire Wish), Cristin Terril (All Our Yesterdays), Tess Sharpe (Far From You), and Michelle Madow (Diamond Sisters). Alexandra Coutts (Tumble & Fall) was not there due to illness. They talked about the writing process, the process of getting their book published, getting paid, critiques, and a whole bunch of other things about being new authors. We sat near Michelle’s mother who stayed at her daughter’s panel through all of the sessions to take pictures and such. She was a very cool woman.",

"Left: Cristin Terril, Michelle Madow, and Tess Sharpe. Right: Amber Lough\nOur last panel was about contemporary with Lauren Myracle and E. Lockart. I don’t usually read a lot of contemporary but we picked this panel because we wanted some information about E. Lockart’s recent release We Were Liars. We were confused about a few key plot points, I won’t talk about which ones because those would be MEGA SPOILERS! We got our information later at the signing because we just couldn’t let it go. We had to leave a bit early to get to the signing with our large bags of books, I had about 30 packed into a rolling suitcase.\nThen it was time for the signings. I got to talk to most of the authors, but not all. Because there were just so many, I’ll just talk about the ones that stood out. Alex London and I had a great conversation about Guardian. I told him how I’d loved the book and he thanked me, saying that writing a sequel was scary for him as he was afraid that it wouldn’t live up to Proxy. E. Lockart and I talked about blogging and getting people reading with gateway books, Amber Lough was giving out and signing ARC copies of her first book Fire Wish.",
null,
"Us with Laurie Halse Anderson\nCristin Terrill had readers signing her own copy of All Our Yesterdays while she signed ours. Michelle Madow and Tess Sharpe were so happy to talk to people and had the biggest smiles for everyone. The place was absolutely packed. I talked to a few people in line about being a blogger, I even talked to a few who were interested in starting their own blogs. I’ll always say go for it! Expand your writing skills! Share your ideas and tastes with the world! I discussed Supernatural with three different groups, as I was wearing my Castiel shirt.",

"But one of my favorite people to meet other than Alex London was Lauren Myracle. I had brought 6 of her books with me and she didn’t care at all about the 3 book rule. We talked about blogging and reading, and even about my own stories and novels that I’m working on. She was very cool and happily climbed over her table to take pictures with us!",

"Us with Lauren Myracle\nWe finally finished up and collected our stuff, heading back to the car. On the way we ran into Jay Asher trying to find his way to a different parking lot. We didn’t realize it was him until we walked away but we pointed him in the right direction and I gave him my map so he could get there a little faster.",

"Stay tuned for two more posts, one about the swag and one for the books. If you ever get a chance to go to TBF, I highly recommend it. Thank you to the wonderful authors who were so nice and cool despite the huge crowds. You guys were awesome! To everyone else…\nKeep Reading!\nThe Book Nut"

"Västtrafik, the organisation responsible for public transport in the Västra Götaland region, Sweden, has taken delivery of a fourth electric hybrid ferry powered by an EST-Floattech battery system.\n\nBuilt by Työvene in Finland, the Eloise is a 33-metre, double-ended commuter ferry designed to carry up to 298 passengers and 80 bicycles at speeds of up to 11 knots.\n\nThe EST-Floattech installation is based on their flagship Green Orca 1050 High Energy Battery System (or ESS: Energy Storage System). This uses Lithium Polymer NMC cells which deliver exceptional cycle life and thermal performance together with a high discharge rate capability. EST-Floattech’s in-house battery management system (BMS) forms the basis of the Green Orca High Energy Module, a technology which has proven itself for more than a decade.\n\nJuha Granqvist, CEO of Uudenkaupungin Työvene Oy, commented: “We are all proud to have been able to contribute to a greener Gothenburg.”\n\nAntti Vikainen, project manager at Uudenkaupungin Työvene OY and overseeing the build, added: ”We are happy to have partnered with EST-Floattech as a supplier of one of the key components for Eloise. The support we received in addition to the delivery and commissioning of the battery system proved valuable, particularly when determining the safety requirements for the battery installation. The vessel itself is already a proven design that has evolved from a diesel-electric powered ferry into a battery hybrid that is able to operate almost exclusively on stored electric power for its designed application.”\n\nThe battery management system is essential for safe and optimal ESS performance. EST- Floattech’s current version is the result of ten years of continuous development. Multiple safety layers in the mechanical design and software ensure that it meets strict DNV and NMA class requirements.\n\nThis commitment to continuous development means that the battery capacity of the Eloise is 25% higher than that of its sister ship the Elvy, which was delivered in 2019. With an installed capacity of 1260 kWh, the Eloise is capable of six hours continuous electric operation. Recharging takes place using either shore power or the onboard diesel generator.\n\nShipbuilder Työvene specialises in the design and build of small and medium-sized vessels for commercial operations. Their delivery of the Eloise to Västtrafik represents a significant step in the latter’s goal of having Gothenburg’s public transportation system fully electrified by 2030.\n\nOver 200 EST-Floattech energy storage solutions are in operation in a wide range of maritime applications. Notably, there are workboats sailing today on the exact same battery pack as was originally installed 10 years ago."

"Thing Trunk announced that Book of Demons, the upcoming PC action-RPG will be a console exclusive for Xbox One. Book of Demons is a deck-building hack and slash adventure game, where it’s the player who decides the length of quests. The game is the first installment of Return 2 Games – a series of original mid-core titles, inspired by the early golden days of PC gaming.\n\nCheck out the Xbox One Announcement Trailer:\n\nWhat makes Book of Demons stand out is the number of twists in the basic gameplay mechanics, paper cut-out graphics, a dark theme intertwined with a fair dose of humor, and most importantly – the unprecedented accessibility.\n\nThe hallmark of Book of Demons is the character development mechanic – the game supersedes the usual hack and slash statfest with a single solution, a card system. Players will collect, upgrade and combine skill cards to compose their own decks of powers. Sounds pretty simple, however there is no ultimate card set that fits all the situations – to survive, gamers will have to constantly come up with new strategies and implement regular adjustments to their skill collections.\n\nThe second feature which greatly increases Book of Demons’ ease of play is the possibility to select the length of each quest, so players can choose if they would like to embark on a longer, more epic journey or take on a 5-minute mission. Shorter missions do not mean they are easier, though – thanks to the Flexiscope™ system, players will always experience the same intensity of gameplay, no matter the length of current quest.\n\nBook of Demons puts players in charge of one of 3 characters taking part in an epic, but humorous, quest to save Paperverse from total destruction. While the game facilitates the player in every possible way, the quest itself surely is not a piece of cake. To defend the world from ultimate devilry, players will have to explore procedurally generated dungeons, confront over 70 monster species and fight a brigade of evil bosses, including the nasty Archdemon. If someone wants to hang out in the catacombs a bit longer, well, of course he can – there’s a Freeplay mode where players can master their favorite quests and rise to the challenge by completing the game on higher difficulty levels.\n\nBook of Demons will be available on Xbox One thanks to ID@Xbox, Microsoft’s program which enables qualified game developers of all sizes to unleash their creativity by self-publishing digital games on Xbox One, giving studios the tools and support needed to maximize their success.\n\nThe PC version of the game will be available on Steam this year and is currently available for pre-order at a discounted price of $14.95. For more information about the game and pre-orders please visit http://bookofdemons.com"

"The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, on Monday in Abuja stated that nobody should hold him responsible for the planned strike by doctors under the aegis of Nigerian Medical Association.\n\nThe NMA had directed its members nationwide to commence withdrawal of services in public hospitals following alleged breach of the agreement reached with the Federal Government especially on some health sector challenges, workplace conditions and the conditions of service of doctors.\n\nThe NMA had said Nigerians should hold the minister responsible for whatever happens during the strike.\n\nBut in an interview with journalists during the inauguration of the Boards of Management of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital, Bauchi; National Obstetric Fistula Centre, Abakaliki; and National Ear Care Centre, Kaduna, Chukwu said government was still discussing with the leadership of NMA over the strike.\n\nHe said, “Why would I be held responsible for the strike? Okay, I am now saying they should work so that nobody will say I asked them to go on strike. Actually, seriously speaking, there is no basis to hold me responsible. When I now imagine that each group feels I am not doing well for them.\n\n” I know I am doing the right thing. It would have been absurd if only the non-doctors were accusing me; they would have said I am biased. If my colleagues are accusing me, this means I am for the truth. I don’t look at people’s face; what I want is in the interest of all Nigerians.”\n\n“Of course, any of us can be a patient (at the hospitals when strike commences). I am still pleading; we are still talking with them.”",

"Proof that great Christian Music can be created outside of classical conservatories and the palaces of Europe.\n\nLooking at the photographs of her on her albums, I thought Judee Sill was a hippy nerd. Her clothes are tomboyish, practical, and modest. Most notable, on the cover of her first album, is the gold fleur-de-lis Christian cross poised on her shoulder beneath her long straight brown hair. In her second album, we see her in a black-and-red striped knit top and blue jean jacket, holding a baton, wearing headphones, conducting an ensemble in the studio. She stares expectantly innocently through rose-tinted wire frames.\n\nThe arrangements, instrumentalisations, and decorative polyphony are derived from classical music, but her singing is sweet and simple, unadorned, even plain. She sometimes affects a country-western drawl. Every song evokes feelings of peace and hope and grace and, sometimes, fulfillment. All the time I played her on the radio – and I played her often – I thought she was an intellectual Christian square who wrote profoundly disturbing poems and baroque country-western folk music. All I knew was her music and the album art. She was great. What more was there to know?\n\nHow could I have been unaware of the heartbreaking tumult of her life, her adolescent escape from parental abuse, her time in reform school for armed robbery, her drug-dealing friends and her psychedelic dereliction, her descent into smack and prostitution, her imprisonment for narcotics and forgery, the devastating demise of her brother while she was incarcerated, and her rotten death from an overdose. When did she have the time to become such a fantastic musician?\n\nBut now, looking at her songs in the context of her life, the waywardness is the unarticulated subtext of all her songs. She does not dwell on her life’s grief, but rather the redemption therefrom. Being so far from god, being so sullied and low, who can bring you back, who can redeem you, but that noble distant magical savior.\n\nTake this song, “Crayon Angels,” for example. There are only four instruments in this song: Judee’s voice, Judee’s guitar, an oboe, and, at the end, a shaker. Her loping finger picking opens the song, and the oboe whines a simple tune. And then she sings the story, just her and her guitar, but for a few interpretive fills on the oboe.\n\nCrayon Angel songs are slightly out of tune\nBut I’m sure I’m not to blame.\nNothin’s happened but I think it will soon,\nSo I sit here waitin’ for God and a train,\nTo the Astral plane.\n\nCrayon angels are divine guardians that never materialize. They do not appear when you need them the most. The shaker adds strange quiet drama to the end of the song.\n\nPhony prophets stole the only light I knew,\nAnd the darkness softly screamed.\nHoly visions disappeared from my view,\nBut the angels come back and laugh in my dreams,\nI wonder what it means.\n\nIf Judee ever found the “truth and a ride,/To the other side” that she seeks in this song, it was through her particular Jesus. Judee’s Jesus is a mystical cowboy, a bandit, a heartbreaker, who loves her and then flies away to go fight evil in a rapture-drenched world. He is not in this world, he never touches the ground, and yet she sings about hitching a ride with him some day. Unlike the ineffectual crayon angels, this cowboy is the only one who ever came through for her. For Judee, the one truth that survives in all the emptiness is what her man has to say about love. “Have you met my man on love?”\n\nI discuss the Commandment of Love elsewhere in these writings.\n\nBack to the Night, Christian, Jesus, Joan Armatrading, love, religious",
null,
"She is so strong, she can be completely vulnerable. Some of her songs, like this one, “Dry Land,” make me weep without tears. She is rough and imposing and yet tells such wondrous tales of the heart.\n\nNever has there been another song that describes a yearning for true love with such piercing beauty. The song turns on the metaphor of being long away to sea. She craves peace and calm in the object of her love. Her singing aches with desire. She asks to touch the soul of another. But, surprisingly she says, “maybe” she will bring a gift of love. There is, even in this deep passion, a hint of reticence. And this guardedness is of a piece with the remainder of this album in which she talks to or sings about another person, who in two instances is named Jesus, and she has been rebuffed more than once and is clearly wary of reaching out.\n\nFrom one song to the next, from one album to the next, Joan Armatrading explores great diversity of style and arrangements that range from her solo guitar or piano to an ensemble that seems to embrace all humanity. At times her voice is deep, almost growling, and then she quavers high and pure. While the songs speak of a spiritual longing, they arouse numinous understanding in those of us lucky enough to listen.\n\nIt is possible to interpret this album, Back to the Night, as an allegory for a Christian spiritual journey. But I think this album is response to a troubled relationship or unrequited longing. The religious yearning she invokes is, I think, metaphorical. Yet I feel she is calling us all, as privileged companions on her quest to understand the true nature of human love."

"Mac Mini used to be the budget friendly Mac everyone loved and could afford and then all of a sudden, Apple just stopped making them. The company kept us distracted with it’s iOS devices and the Watches and the like but those of us who couldn’t afford a Mac anymore, remembered the little helper. Four years it took Apple to bring the team back-in to build a new Mac Mini and boy did they do a wonderful job. When it was introduced in October, we simply smiled with teary eyes for our beloved Mini had returned. The beautiful Space Grey color, metal body just made everyone super excited. Well it is available now and here’s how I feel about this amazing machine.\n\nThe brand new chassis fits the new born no doubt and Apple has kept it up with the modern times which we all appreciate. And the outside is not some smoking mirror thing either, the I/O is stacked as well. I mean just 4 Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports alone can get your groove on but these are accompanies by USB 3.0 x 2, Ethernet port, HDMI 2.0 (not that you need it but still), power button and for the love of music, a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Literally everything is around the back and the rest of the device is clean and smooth.\n\nThunder Bolt 3 provides some serious options and possibilities. Transfer data at up to 40Gb/s. plus charge and power external devices, connect up to two 4K displays and even a third with the HDMI 2.0 or if you are not satisfied then one 5K display. These ports can also come in handy in case you wanna attach an external GPU for some high class graphics intensive stuff. New Mac Mini can also be configured with 10Gb Ethernet so files can be transferred with a blink of an eye.",
null,
"The externals are awesome for sure but the internals matter a bit more (understatement of the year). New 8th Gen 6-core and Quad-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with up to 4.6GHz Turbo Boost bring some serious horsepower to this small machine. Faster 2666MHz DDR4 RAM available from 8GB to 64GB. Up to 2TB PCIe SSD Storage is available with up to 4 times faster read speed and 3.4 GB/s of sequential read speed. And to keep all of these components working at a claimed 70% MSP (Maximum Sustained Power), there is an all-new thermal system within the same enclosure with bigger fan with 2 times increased airflow and expanded vents and redesigned power supply to accommodate it all.\n\nThere area few caveats though and they stack up as we list them all. You cannot upgrade your storage but that is true to every other Mac device, you can however upgrade RAM all by yourself. The device tends to be slow in terms of GPU performance but it’s CPU works well above it’s pay grade. 10 Gigabit Ethernet port is not standard but the upgrade is only $100 which is so worth it. The box only contains the power cable and the Mac itself so no keyboard and mouse but the good news is that given it’s amazing I/O, 3rd party accessories can be used with a much cheaper price although not many 3rd party Mac Keyboards and Mice are available in the market but if you want a true Mac experience, the Apple accessories are always recommended.\n\nNow let’s talk about stuff that doesn’t have a bright side. The SD card slot is gone which is a huge bummer for those silly photographers and creatives who used to data swap like it was nothing and took it for granted, now you are going to buy a, oh God I am going to hurl, a dongle. The IR sensor is gone, so no more using your Mac Mini with the home theater setup. An external GPU like the Blackmagic eGPU Pro, is a must for a decent graphics intensive task like gaming, video editing, photography etc. The PC runs hot, and I mean 100+ degrees hot which is not good and on top of that the fan is so quiet that you might not notice it and might end up damaging the internal with long periods of usage.",
null,
"The biggest issue of them all is the configuration options which make the price of this affordable Mac jump to a different bracket. The base model with a Quad-Core processor and 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD goes for $799 which makes the price the only number attractive and the rest are smartphone specs. If you want the base model with 6-Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD then you are looking at $1099 price tag. And yes the latter is a much better option and if you are a basic user than this is a wonderful option for you but most people these days, especially Mac users happen to be creative kind; content creators, photographers, artists and the likes and the stuff they do require a bit more power and a bit more muscle. To make the Mini worth of average to above tasks, I went on the Apple website and configured a mid-ranged Mac Mini:",
null,
"Now this is still not a bad number but you would be surprised to know how this is not the case. This price is only for the PC itself and to make it functional you’d require a mouse and a keyboard, and let’s not forget the elephant in the room; a monitor and if you happen to buy a 4K monitor than obviously the total sum you’ll end up spending would touch $2,000+. Sure there are after market accessories available and of course you can use an older monitor but the thing about owning a Mac PC is more than simply owning a machine. There’s a reason Mac people don’t say ‘I own a computer’ but instead they say ‘I own a Mac’. There is a sense of accomplishment and pride behind that statement and yes Windows users would call Apple users arrogant and whatnot but let’s face it, Macs are pretty, even if they are not ‘on’.",
null,
"My judgment on this wonderful reboot is a sad one and as much as I want it to be what it used to be or what it’s supposed to be, alas it is not and that is, affordable. So sadly my verdict is ‘No’ to this computer and those of you who have bought it, I am happy for you but those of you who want to or thinking about buying it, just think about it for a second. To rest my case, I’d give you the best alternative instead of buying a Mac Mini: a MacBook Air 2018 and not just the base model too, read these specs and then decide;\n\nIf however, money is no object and you must have a desktop that is not an iMac then by all means buy this beautiful machine and make a custom setup of your own.\n\nZTE Nubia X: A Unique Smartphone With Two Displays And No Selfie Camera"

"For years, the suggestion that graffiti might be considered a valid art form has been received with splutters of indignation from the established art world and the public alike. Now, with auction houses aflutter at the prospect of bagging a work by elusive street artists, and celebrities among those eagerly queuing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a piece, even the most entrenched critics are being forced to re-evaluate their position on the subject of that formerly dirty word.\n\nBlek le Rat born Xavier Prou, (1952) was one of the first graffiti artists in Paris and has been described as the “Father of stencil graffiti”, undoubtedly an icon in the street art scene. Motivated by social consciousness and a desire to bring art to the people, Blek Le Rat’s political agenda is clear. And while parallels are drawn between his work and that of his British counterpart (Banksy), Le Rat’s identity is not a matter of national debate.",
null,
"Blek was born into a “high bourgeois” district of Paris in 1952, the revered street artist fails to match almost any of the well-cultivated stereotypes involving Nike tracksuits and raging hormones. With a mild manner and unkempt locks, he would look more at home helping an elderly lady onto a bus than roaming the streets wielding a spray can. But then Blek is not one to fit comfortably into boxes. Prou’s parents – his father an architect, and his mother the daughter of a French consul in Thailand – insisted on living in one of the most bourgeois suburbs of Paris, Boulogne, and sending him to the best private school. “It wasn’t until the summer of 1968,” Prou explains, “that I met people from other backgrounds. Before that, I had never left my immediate area, let alone travelled to working-class districts”. That summer, aged 17, he left Boulogne to study etching, lithography and painting at Paris’s equivalent of the Royal Academy, L’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, before taking a further degree, in architecture.\n\n“At university,” he explains, “my teachers were Trotskyites, revolutionaries; they taught me much more than pure art. I was learning about another world. ” Studying architecture, he explains, taught him how to understand an urban landscape and how to see the space around him. This, combined with the “illumination” that came with discovering a new world of politics and sociological awareness, and his earlier studies in lithography and painting, made street art an obvious outlet for his talents: and so, in 1981, he began to combine his skills, to express his thoughts and create art for the masses.\n\nBlek prefers to talk about urban art rather than “graffiti”. The latter term, he acknowledges, is bound with negative and misleading connotations. “My stencils are a present, introducing people to the world of art, loaded with a political message. This movement is the democratisation of art: if the people cannot come to the gallery, we bring the gallery to the people! ” Before tackling huge stencils such as those bearing his signature across cities worldwide, he laced the streets of Paris with what has become his signature piece, an oversized rat . “The rat is not just the only wild animal living in pretty much all cities, but within the word rat, there lies art. I like this anagram,” he smiles. “It is the shadow of a rat, not the actual beast,” Prou continues. “And these are placed to look as if they are taking over the city. For me, this idea has become quite an obsession. It is about the uprising, a signal of rebellion. It’s our revolution. “",
null,
"Charged with the political sentiment, his work often adopts dark humour. In 1984, as tensions preceding the fall of the Berlin Wall infiltrated the French capital, Blek was gathering his own ammunition. “That summer, everyone was so worried about Russian soldiers invading that there was a constant lookout for tanks. “As the streets lay empty at night,” he remembers, “I attacked the city with stencils of Russian soldiers, a message to the people when they returned: the Soviets have already arrived! I relieve paranoia through humour. ” It is the marriage of political commentary and humorous imagery that Banksy has adopted from Blek Le Rat, but Blek is equally grateful for what Banksy has done for urban art.\n\n“It is important that people recognise what we do, and accept it for what it is,” he states. “It is art. Urban artists are forced to write on public property because there is a lack of space assigned to us. ” Would he limit himself to the legal territory if space were provided by councils? “Urban art is there to be inclusive. By bringing our work to the masses within the urban landscape, on the streets, we are including everyone. “\n\n“So what we need,” he says with passion, “is allocated walls throughout the city, on which we can express ourselves. “Kids who would never go to a show see our work in the street and are inspired to express themselves through art rather than turning to vandalism or repressing their voices. “",
null,
"Blek’s commitment to his cause is clear, and yet until recently, graffiti was widely considered, at best, an inarticulate form of low-culture, at worst, the pastime of spotty teenagers intent on destruction.\n\nBut, as the Big 7-0 draws ever closer, does he ever wonder if he is getting too old for this lark? Never . “This movement,” he says, “is the single most important movement for the future of art. We can compare it to the rock’n’roll movement in the Sixties. It signifies a social change that is gathering momentum.\n\n“Conceptual art is designed for those who understand the philosophy and the history of art, so it will always be exclusive. What we are doing is breaking down the walls. This movement is my life, and you are never too old to follow your passion. “"

"Narrative of a Life and a Movement",
null,
"Suchetana Chattopadhyay’s book is three things wrapped in one cover. It is a narrative of the life of Muzaffar Ahmad, the founding figure of the Communist Party of India at the Bengal front. But it is not a biography of this leading Indian Communist. This book is rather about a few early years of Muzaffar Ahmad’s life, a period from 1913 to 1929 to be exact, bound by the two years signifying Ahmad’s entry into the city of Calcutta in his early youth, on the one hand, and his emergence as one of the central figures of Indian Communism in relation to the Meerut Conspiracy case and the foundation of the Communist movement in Bengal, on the other. By centring round the life of an early Communist the author also explores the early phase of Communist politics in the region. The author, however, focuses on the city of Calcutta. This reveals the third aspect of this academic venture, i.e., comprehending the spatial perspective of the early Communist movement in Bengal.\n\nThe author reads the early response of the City of Calcutta, which had been the prime mover of colonial politics and anticolonial activities in the eastern front, to the incoming ideas of socialism to evolve out of it an alternative mode of decolonization as well as a wider struggle for human emancipation. Ahmad’s initiation into socialism and his own contribution to the emergence of a new brand of politics out of it have been understood in this geographical setting. The author thus addresses a crucial question related to Indian Communism regarding its roots in and relevance to the Indian necessities. Through a cityscape she shows the significance of socialism for moulding a sensitive youth with an awakening political mind."

"BlackBerry exploring ‘alternatives,’ could result in selling the company\n\nBlackBerry announced in a press release on Monday that the Waterloo-based smartphone manufacture is now exploring strategic alternatives through a recently formed “special committee,” which could potentially result the sale of the company.\n\nThe alternatives that BlackBerry is exploring could result in a possible joint venture, strategic partnerships or the sale of the company.\n\nThis strategic review that BlackBerry is implementing had a direct impact on its shares with an approximately seven per cent rise in the pre-market trade, closing at $10.05 on Friday. In addition, there has been speculation that the company may go private which may delist BlackBerry’s stock if major investors buy up other shareholders.\n\nBut with this new formal review also brought a major shakeup for BlackBerry’s board. Fairfax Financials CEO Prem Watsa, one of BlackBerry’s largest shareholders who joined the board in 2012, stepped down from the board Monday due to “potential conflicts.”\n\n“I continue to be a strong supporter of the company, the board and management as they move forward during this process, and Fairfax Financial has no current intention of selling its shares,” Watsa said in statement released on BlackBerry’s website.\n\n“Given the importance and strength of our technology, and the evolving industry and competitive landscape, we believe that now is the right time to explore strategic alternatives,” Dattels said in a statement.\n\n“As the special committee focuses on exploring alternatives, we will be continuing with our strategy of reducing cost, driving efficiency and accelerating the deployment of BES 10,” Heins said in the same statement.\n\nThe process will have JP Morgan Securities act as the financial advisor to the smartphone company. The statement released noted that the company does “not currently intend to disclose further developments with respect to this process, unless and until its board of directors approves a specific transaction or otherwise concludes the review of strategic alternatives.”",

"God is Still in Control",
null,
"This morning, I am reminding myself just how much God is still in control.\n\nSeveral days ago, I talked about being really bothered by our country’s racial tensions. Although, after listening to Presidents Bush and Obama, I began to have a more hopeful outlook.\n\nOddly, (and I will underscore the word “oddly”) I am even more hopeful today after the shooting deaths of the three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana yesterday. I am inspired by this even as my heart grieves for the family members of the slain.\n\nWhen we have vicious acts like this take place, it can bring all sorts of people together. These are not acts of justice, and a super-majority of Americans share this belief. Therefore, people from varying backgrounds who may disagree on many issues will come together as one to condemn such violence.\n\nAs I grapple with the events of today, I am also reminded about the story of Stephen from the Book of Acts. Stephen spoke the truth to certain Jewish leaders who ended up stoning him to death. One might think – “What positive can come from this?”\n\nThe words that I use to comfort me are, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” Proverbs 19:21 (ESV).\n\nShare this B Moment, because others desire to be inspired."

"Like all White writers of history, he struggles to tell Black history, without actually mentioning Black people. But since many of his observations are accurate, we begin with these excerpts from his book.\n\nWhence was the bronze obtained by the Cretans? Was it from Egypt or Anatolia? Both Crete and Troy were able soon after the dawn of their Bronze Ages to import silver, which during the Old Kingdom Period was rarer than gold in Egypt. The silver may have come from the same region as tin.\n\nOne possible source of supplies of silver was Cilicia, where silver mines are still worked; the other was Spain, in which country evidence has been forthcoming of early commercial relations with Crete.\n\nBut although copper could be found in Crete, the tin, as has been indicated, had to be imported.\n\nMackenzie in this connection, \"the valley of the Rhone must have played a dominant role of communication between the great world of the Mediterranean and the north; by that time it was probably already the high continental trade route towards the tin mines of Britain.\n\nThe introduction of metal appears to have done much to stimulate international trade. Hogarth suggests, appears to have penetrated Thrace. Evidence has been forthcoming that two main trade-routes crossed Germany, one from the head of the Adriatic, and the other from the lower Danube valley.\n\nIt has been suggested that some of the amber found in Crete came down these trade routes from the Baltic. France was similarly crossed by the Rhone valley trade-route, down which, in time, tin from Cornwall was carried.\n\nThat the Cretans were the earliest seafarers to come into direct touch with these routes is suggested by various interesting links of evidence. The most remarkable are the Egyptian glass beads found in South Germany, and the Egyptian blue-glaze beads taken from ancient graves on Salisbury Plain, which will be dealt with in a later chapter, as they are connected with the Late Minoan Period.\n\nSummarizing their views, Angelo Mosso writes: The resemblance of the Egyptian idols with those of Crete and the Continent is an established fact; the burial sites are similar; the flat copper axes of Egypt cannot be distinguished from those of the Continent; the evolution of art in Southern France and in Spain went on during the Neolithic Age, and we know that navigation was general on the Mediterranean in the times preceding the introduction of copper-all these data give good reason to suppose that the pre-Dynastic Egyptians had relations with the west which enabled them to procure cassiterite, which when mixed with copper rendered it harder.\n\nWe hope\", he adds, \"that new discoveries may throw light on the relations of Egypt with England. Bronze Age skeletal remains were found of what has been argued to be a young prince, still wearing a rare necklace of faience beads, made from a paste of minerals and plant extracts that had been fired.\n\nThe skeleton was carbon dated to around BC. Thomas reported that the faience beads were Egyptian: An almost identical necklace was found in a Bronze Age burial mound at north Molton, Devon. Lorraine Evans in her compelling book, Kingdom of the Ark, reveals archaeological connections between Egypt and Ireland.\n\nEvans argues that the connections between the two distant lands were plausible and there is archaeological evidence to support the theory. In in North Ferriby, Yorkshire, the remains of an ancient boat were discovered.\n\nWhile thought to be a Viking longship at first, continued excavation produced additional ships, wrecked in a storm. Further investigation showed that the boats were much older than Viking ships and were of a type found in the Mediterranean.\n\nIt was concluded that these boats originated from years before the Viking age and were radiocarbon dated to around to BC. Evans then makes connections to argue that these boats could originate from Egypt, as the timeframe fits the dating of the faience beads.\n\nWhile investigating the origins of the people of Scotland in the Bower manuscript, the Scotichronicon, she discovers the story of Scota, the Egyptian princess and daughter of a pharaoh who fled from Egypt with her husband Gaythelos with a large following of people who arrive in a fleet of ships.\n\nThey settled in Scotland for a while amongst the natives, until they were forced to leave and landed in Ireland, where they formed the Scotti, and their kings became the high kings of Ireland. In later centuries, they returned to Scotland, defeating the Picts, and giving Scotland its name.\n\nEvans then posits the questions: Was the Tara necklace a gift from the Egyptians to a local chieftain after their arrival? Or was the Tara prince actually Egyptian himself?\n\nIn the work of Manetho, an Egyptian priest, Evans discovers the translation of the name—the pharaoh Achencres was none other than Akhenaten, who reigned in the correct timeframe of BC.\n\nEvans believes that Scota was Meritaten, eldest daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. The third eldest daughter, Ankhesenpaaten, married her half-brother, King Tutankhamun, son of Akhenaten and his secondary wife, Kiya.Jun 25, · It is considered the height of the Renaissance of England with the development of Elizabethan theatre and renowned plays, books and poetry from William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlow, en Jonson and Thomas Kyd.\n\nThese writers were mostly British, and all were heavily indebted to British literature writing conventions long since established in the motherland.

"Angela Merkel’s decision to dispense with nuclear power has left environmentalists around the world exploring alternatives. Henry Gass weighs up the options\n\nPeople around the world are reflecting on renewable alternatives to nuclear power in the wake of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s announcement that Germany would decommission all its nuclear power plants by 2022. The decision leaves Germany with 11 years to replace the 25 per cent of the country’s energy produced by nuclear power. In the UK, new government incentives are opening up a variety of renewable heating options. So what does this mean for homeowners? Home heating accounts for 13 per cent of the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions, which means people willing to give their power supply a greenover could make a big difference. Here's what's available:\n\nThe quick wins\nWall cavity insulation and loft insulation are cheap and easy ways to lower carbon emissions at home. ‘Loft insulation is easy to do because a loft is easy to access,’ says Chris Dunham, director of sustainable solutions company, Carbon Descent, ‘and wall cavities can be filled without any problem.’ An added bonus with wall cavity and loft insulation is that they’re viable options both economically – loft insulation usually costs around £290 and cavity insulation around £380 – and geographically, as it works for both urban and rural homes. Installation is also fast, typically taking half a day. Solid wall insulation, however, is a different story. Beyond the price (ranging from £3,700 to £15,000), the installation process can involve extensive refurnishing and could shrink your floor space.",

"Energy efficient appliances are another cheap way to chip away at your home’s carbon footprint. Energy saving light bulbs cost between £2.25 to £5.49, although Dunham admitted ‘the quality of light is not quite there’ with energy efficient bulbs, especially LED lights (providers often describe these bulbs as emitting a ‘softer light’). Smart meters ‘will hopefully bring about changes in behaviour,’ says Dunham, and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is hoping the same, aiming to have a smart meter in every home in Britain by 2020. These small displays, costing around £35, show you what’s turned on in the home as well as how much energy the home is using at that moment. ‘There’s a whole area of emissions you can avoid just by turning things off,’ says Dunham. ‘You can do a lot very easily when starting from scratch with an existing building stock.’\n\nSolar and electric heat pump systems\n‘Once you’ve used up those opportunities you get into the more expensive options,’ continues Dunham. Electric heat pumps, sourcing heat from either the ground or the air, are attractive options. Ground source heat pumps typically cost £10,000, while air source heat pumps are usually closer to £7,000. However, Dunham warned of potential hidden costs in the future as supply might struggle to meet the demand for electric heating in homes. ‘If we switch [gas heating] to electric systems like electric heat pump systems then often missed out of the calculation of the cost is the need to upgrade the electricity distribution system to cope with demand,’ says Dunham. The cost of increasing the capacity of electricity distribution systems could reach into the thousands of pounds in some areas, depending on demand, and would be paid for by adding on to electricity bills.\n\nPopular solar options are the solar PV system, where solar panels turn sunlight into electricity, and the solar thermal system, where panels use sunlight to heat water. Environmentalist George Monbiot has been outspoken on the topic of solar power in Britain, arguing that, among other things, it’s not compatible with the UK climate. ‘Solar PV is a great technology – if you live in southern California. But the further from the equator you travel, the less sense it makes,’ wrote Monbiot in a column for Guardian last year. ‘In hot countries, where air conditioning guzzles electricity, peak demand coincides with peak solar radiation. In the UK, peak demand takes place between 5pm and 7pm on winter evenings. Do I need to spell out the implications?’ Counter-arguments make the case that PV panels are more efficient when kept cool. ‘So there’s a slight benefit in having a panel sitting in a fresh wind or something, but still bathed in sunlight,’ said Dunham, admitting, however, that solar power was more attractive further south.",
null,
"A slew of government incentive programs are making these high-end options increasingly affordable. The Feed-In Tariff (FIT) scheme, in place for over a year, pays homeowners 43p for every kilowatt of energy they produce per hour from renewable sources. ‘We’ve seen householders up and down the country getting involved with this scheme,’ said a DECC spokeswoman. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), announced this March for businesses, industry, and local communities, subsidises the installation of renewable heat equipment, and will be made available to individual householders in 2012. In the meantime, homeowners have the Renewable Heat Premium Payment Scheme starting up later this summer. ‘The scheme is worth £15 million and it will support up to 25,000 installations over the next year, so under that scheme householders will get government money to help cover the costs of installation of renewable heat equipment,’ says the DECC source. DECC have identified ‘likely levels of support’ for RHI Premium Payments - £300 for a Solar Thermal unit, £850 for an Air Source Heat Pump unit, £950 for a Biomass boiler unit and £1,250 for a Ground Source Heat Pump unit – but the final amounts will not be confirmed until later this summer. ‘When we publish further scheme details we’ll explain what people need to do to get ready to apply,’ continues the DECC spokeswoman, adding that those who install kit under Premium Payments will also be eligible for ongoing support through the RHI, provided they meet the eligibility criteria of the full RHI scheme.\n\nHowever, the incentive programs have received some criticism, since the money spent installing the renewable heat equipment will be collected through a general increase in heating bills. In the same Guardian column, Monbiot writes: ‘Buying a solar panel is now the best investment a householder can make. The tariffs will deliver a return of between five and eight per cent a year… The payback is guaranteed for 25 years. If you own a house and can afford the investment, you'd be crazy not to cash in. If you don't and can't, you must sit and watch your money being used to pay for someone else's fashion accessory.’ Dunham, however, argues that the solar subsidies were temporary measures to bring down prices. ‘If, as a result of the subsidy…the price of PV comes down, then at some point it will become economic to do it without subsidy, and it was worth paying this initial kind of stimulus to reach that point.’ However, Dunham acknowledges that the incentive programs represented ‘quite a regressive system.’ ‘To make it cost effective the government is forcing the utilities to pay an enormous subsidy,’ continues Dunham. ‘It’s an enormous cost, and basically we’re all paying that cost through our bills. So everyone who pays for electricity is subsidising the people putting the PV on their homes, and that will probably tend to be people who are middle class homeowners who are already, you know, reasonably well off.’ The FIT scheme is rendered exclusive in that homeowners must pay thousands of pounds for the equipment and installation themselves, recouping their investment 43p at a time through the tariff. What’s more, according to Dunham the savings on bills after installation financed by the RHI have to be greater than the capital cost of the measures you pay for. ‘The rule may limit what you can do. Only cost-effective measures will fit in what you can do,’ says Dunham, ‘but it does remove barriers to what you can do.’\n\nLimited options: wind turbines and biomass\nDespite the economic complications, those options remain the most practical large-scale household renewable heat equipment. Wind turbines, while attractive on an industrial scale, transition with difficulty to households. ‘After a lot of excitement over roof-mounted wind turbines, the results haven’t been good,’ says Dunham. Restrictions on where wind turbines can be sited – including the quality of the ground and the distance of moving parts from humans and livestock – as well as height and local wind speed requirements (typically 4.5m2) narrow the field for household wind turbines significantly. ‘There are places in the UK where it would work in a domestic setting, but they’re quite limited,’ says Dunham. ‘Something like three per cent of homes might be suitable for micro wind systems.’\n\nBiomass is effectively any organic matter than can be burned for energy, such wood, waste and alcohol fuels. As with wind turbines, biomass boilers also face geographical restrictions. Concerns over the effects of boiler emissions on air quality, as well as the associated carbon emissions from production and transport, has restricted biomass boiler use to specific regions. ‘There are lots of issues around whether biomass is sustainable that go beyond the air quality issues,’ says Dunham, ‘Is biomass taking up land that was used to grow food so pushing up food prices and causing starvation? Are we cutting down forests to build biomass plantations?’ Dunham did insist, however, that biomass needs to have a role in Britain’s sustainable future, albeit a limited one. ‘It has to be kept,’ he says. ‘But it has to be limited in some manner; it can’t just be a sort of free-for-all.’\n\nUrban vs. rural\nNo matter what sort of renewable you’re contemplating, it’s clear that urban and rural homeowners face different limitations. Rural homeowners have more independence, and can pursue projects such as a ground source heat pump. Rural homes are more likely have the space needed to fit the 200 metres of coiled loops two metres deep in the ground to siphon ground heat. ‘If you’re in an urban setting where you’re just surrounded by roads, it doesn’t work quite so well,’ says Dunham. Urban areas require a more communal approach. ‘It’s difficult from an individual household point of view to just initiate this on their own,’ says Dunham. ‘You can’t just go and build a heat network and persuade the neighbours to join onto it.’ Creating such a community heat network would also entail exigent costs in upgrading the electricity distribution system to cope with demand, a cost Dunham estimated at around £5,000. ‘The ideal situation is a communal one within an urban setting, but it’s obviously more difficult to initiate.’"

"Oxygen Depletion and Sharks - The Myth",
null,
"Great stuff for the most part and compelling watching, except for one glaring factoid that gets pasted into the film and almost ruins the message.\n\nFolks, if we lose all the oceans sharks we will not run out of the worlds Oxygen.\n\nHow this factoid ever got into the broad based conservation messaging for sharks remains a mystery. Call it a case of too many shark centric people wanting to save sharks and not checking in with their facts or even bothering to question the obvious.\n\nBut check we must, otherwise those who regurgitate said factoids look like conservation village idiots when up against those in power who can effect change and who may be slightly more informed.\n\nLet's do away with this unsupported line of reason as the facts about shark conservation are horrific and compelling enough without the addition of Fox News style gotcha shark headlines:\n\nWith 92% of our living biosphere being aquatic, almost 80% of our planet’s air is generated by the algae and microscopic phytoplankton that are found in the sea. Many thousands of fish species and other marine organisms feed on phytoplankton and algae. Sharks on the other hand prey on the fish that feed on plankton; right up through to the top of the food chain. So if we remove the sharks, as we are systematically doing at an unsustainable rate of over 70 million sharks a year, then it leaves the plankton feeders free of predation and free to gobble up the main source of our planet’s main oxygen supply!\n\nTherefore, it is in our interest to maintain a healthy source of oxygen and air, if we want to keep on breathing!\n\nAnd watch this film, like we said aside from this small part, it is a tribute to sharks and the entire team should be congratulated:\n\nPosted by Horizon Charters Guadalupe Cage Diving at 6:06 AM No comments:"

"November has only just begun and already the Christmas floodgates have opened, shops across the country selling their Santa-themed merchandise.\n\nLily James – the current face of Burberry – also stars in the clip as the fictional character Betty Dawson, based on the female record-breaking pilot Betty Kirby-Green.\n\nSpeaking to WWD, she said: “I want there to be a full movie. And with the amount of footage we shot, I’m sure they could have made a film. We invested in the characters, and it was shot like a normal film.”\n\nThe actor isn’t the only person wanting a feature-length film based on the short: numerous Tweeters have spoken about their wish for the rest of the footage to be released.\n\nDespite Burberry’s attempt at making an impressive Christmas advert, many are still holding out for John Lewis’s, which is expected to be released in the coming days.",

"This article was originally published in the apparently defunct, waywordwell website. Some correspondence between myself and Sara Weis and Arturo Cubacub the filmmaker artists behind the film seemed to have been in the works to be published at the also now defunct GetUnderground webzine. I will be republishing the waywordwell article today. I also just today learn that Arturo died December of 2018. He was an amazing artist and innovator who took the time to correspond me in great deal. As I said, I had planned to publish some quotes and snippets from correspondence and an editor was on track to do so but said magazine no longer exists so I will be reprinting here at some time once I’ve had time to process Arturo’s death. A man who I spent maybe an hour with on the phone and just a couple dozen or more pages of correspondence but just his taking his time and taking me seriously made quite a difference at that time. He will be missed and the art world suffers with his loss.",

"Do the forced labor bop\n\nIt started as a harmless Youtube search. Because I can’t get enough of my fix of Japanese bossa nova, I decided to do a search for Shibuya-kei, a Japanese musical movement epitomized by bands like Flipper’s Guitar, Pizzicato 5 and Fantastic Plastic Machine. I see this clip for a “mini-epic,” entitled B-17. It’s a trailer for a short film inspired by Shibuya-kei and manga. This, I thought, has got to be dreadfully awesome, or painfully terrible.\n\nTurns out it was dreadful, painful and terrible. Most of all, though, it was awesome. It’s the story of Silly White Girl AKA Sarah Weis, who spends her days making pro-war polo shirts and being a sex slave locked in a sub-sub-sub-basement of the White House. Major Orwellian overtones and black comedy in the vein of Brautigan and Vonnegut combine with disturbing scenes of the life of a girl who wakes up to find herself trapped and under constant surveillance in a dungeon/pleasure den.\n\nIt’s kind of a musical, in that there are two scenes that are as much music video montage and story and the soundtrack, performed on moog and theremin, was written and performed by Sarah Weis and Arturo Cubacub.\n\nI would give a synopsis, but according to Sarah and Arturo, the air of mystery is too important. Suffice it to say, in all but the last scene, Sarah is the only human actor. Other parts are played by, according to the credits the Man(nequin). The film is disturbing, disorienting and makes me want to join Amnesty International. It’s humorous in a very dark way, but after reading news about detainees being stripped of dignity and tortured, I can’t laugh too hard. The film conceptualizes the madness of post-9/11 America. It envisions a world where no one is safe from our protectors who already have the right to surveillance, phone taps and other civil rights breaches.\n\nThe entire film is available on Youtube.com and can be found at http://www.youtube.com/bseventeen. Check out the trailers and start at episode one if you want it to make any sense. Don’t miss chapters like “The brand of the free,” or “I heart the war on terrorism.” I contacted the creators and gave them my impression. I said they made John Waters and David Lynch look like Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell. Arturo jokingly replied that their aim was to “make Walt Disney and Norman Rockwell look like Joseph Thorak and Leni Riefenstahl.” Copies of the dvd are for sale at http://b-seventeen.com."

"Two of the new cases were local infections in the eastern province of Anhui, the National Health Commission said in a statement.\n\nThe cases were the first local transmissions since April 20, when China recorded two local infections in the south-western province of Yunnan, where a city on the border with Myanmar reported a new cluster in late March.\n\nTwo areas in Luan city and one part of Feixi county were declared \"medium-risk\" regions by the local authorities in response to the cases. State media reported mass testing being carried out in the main urban area in Luan and some areas in Hefei.\n\nThe other five cases announced on Friday were imported infections originating overseas. The health commission had reported nine cases a day earlier, all imported.\n\nThe number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, rose to 22 from 14 cases a day earlier.\n\nThe total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in mainland China now stands at 90,815, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4,636.",

"Now that Kris Jenner is officially out of the running for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Caitlyn Jenner and Sophia Hutchins may have a shot at the coveted position that they’ve been vying for all year.\n\nWhy Kris doesn’t want to be on RHOBH\n\nKris confirmed that despite circulating rumors, she will not be joining the RHOBH for Season 11. She appeared on The Ellen Show to break the news.\n\n“I think I would do it just to go on once in a while and be with my friend Kyle Richards,” Kris told Ellen Degeneres. “But as far as me doing a show like that regularly, there’s just too much going on in my life … and they do not need a Kris Jenner on that show. They are doing just fine.”\n\nShe and the rest of the Kardashian clan have also discussed partnering with a large streaming platform like Netflix or even possibly launching one of their own. As Ellen insinuated, there is likely already something up Kris’s sleeve that would leave her with no time to hang with the RHOBH ladies.\n\nCaitlyn and Sophia are determined to join RHOBH\n\nCaitlyn and Sophia have been planting seeds in Andy Cohen’s head about joining RHOBH since March. They appeared on Entertainment Tonight and revealed that they would be thrilled if they were asked to join RHOBH.\n\n“I would be on [RHOBH] in two seconds,” Sophia said.\n\n“I did watch an episode with you two nights ago, and I honestly kind of got into it,” Caitlyn confessed. “You know, I’ve done reality television pretty much all my life — sports is reality television — and I was watching that and saying, ‘I could see myself getting in there with some of the drama.'”\n\nFast forward to the end of Season 10, and Sophia and Caitlyn are still begging Andy for a spot on the show. With Denise Richards and Teddi Mellencamp off of the show and Sutton Stracke returning as a friend, there are vacancies to be filled. There have even been rumors circulating that producers have reached out to them about joining the show.\n\nAccording to US Weekly, Andy Cohen spoke on the matter on Andy Cohen Live via SiriusXM’s Radio Andy channel this month and promptly shut down those rumors.\n\n“I know that they have expressed their interest publicly,” Andy explained. “On social media, they’ve tagged me in posts saying, ‘This is a great idea,’ but … we’ve never talked to them formally. That rumor is not true.”\n\nWhile Andy didn’t officially say that there is no chance of them joining the RHOBH, it seems unlikely that they will if producers haven’t reached out to them yet.\n\nSeveral other contenders like Ali Landry have had conversations with producers already. Crystal Jung Minkoff also seems to have secured a spot on the show, so fans shouldn’t be holding their breath for Caitlyn’s return to reality TV.",

"Dundee can confirm that goalkeeper Dan Twardzik has moved on from the club with Motherwell confirming on their website that he will join them in the summer.\n\nDan featured twice in the SPFL Championship winning campaign. Due to the excellent form of Kyle Letheren, the Czech born goalkeeper’s chances were limited.\n\nHis first appearance came in January when Letheren was sent off away to Falkirk. Dan had the best possible start making a penalty save with his first touch for the club. Falkirk went onto take all three points and Dan kept his place the following week.\n\nAt home to Alloa, Dan looked set to keep his first clean sheet for Dundee but a goal with the last kick of the ball meant Alloa snatched a point.\n\nDan was a regular for the Reserve side throughout the season and showed his talent when he was loaned to Premiership side Motherwell in December of last year. With the Steelmen, Dan was part of the side who won five in a row with him claiming three cleans sheets and only conceding two goals during that impressive spell. Motherwell went on to finish 2nd in the top flight.\n\nThe club would like to thank Dan for his efforts with the club and wish him all the best for the future."

"When Nissan introduced the new Skyline generation R32 in 1989 it was quite a radical step from the extremely boxy predecessor R31. And while most people lust after the R32 in 2-door shape or even as a GTR, there’s a lot of love for the sedan R32 as well. Such is the case with this purple example from the depths of Sweden.",
null,
"I first stumbled upon this Skyline sedan when I attended Gatebil Mantorp in June but sadly I didn’t have the opportunity for a closer look and only took a couple pictures.\n\nThanks to the wonders of social media I got into contact with the owner Jonatan from Dress Up Kings. Thus, I got the chance to shoot the car just two weeks later when I went up to Norway for Gatebil Rudskogen, Gatebil’s main event!",
null,
"I was absolutely excited for this opportunity – it meant I could get to shoot a car that is quite authentic to the japanese drift style in the magical setting of the beautiful Rudskogen race track.",
null,
"Even though Jonatan didn’t hit the track with the car, it looked right at home in Rudskogen’s pit lane.",
null,
"This Skyline was produced in 1992 and then was imported from Japan in 2014. Jonatan has owned it for just a bit longer than a year now – and he also freely admits that most of the modifications have been carried out by the previous owner.",
null,
"For the exterior the previous owner opted for a full BN Sports bodykit including overfenders and a GTR hood and grille.",
null,
"Jonatan owns a couple sets of wheels. The ones mounted on the car during the shoot are Fabulous Profound in the front and the rears are Jspec No7 wheels. The wheels are connected to the Body by a set of Gsport coilovers which help the car duck pretty low over the ground. Almost all the suspension parts were swapped for after market units by Driftworks and Japspeed. For example, Driftworks Geomaster knuckles and widened lower control arms up front. Rear Japspeed toe arms and so on..",
null,
"A 2-way differential also helps when Jonatan is in the mood to kick the rear end out.",
null,
"The RB20DET only received some slight work: a Trust Greddy Intercooler and a Blitz boost Controller. A Grex oil filter relocation kit by Greddy and a matching oil cooler keep temperatures low.",
null,
"For good measure he also installed a Koyo Radiator with two electrical fans.",
null,
"Inside, some gauges for boost pressure, oil- & water temperature and a full control control unit were added so Jonatan is always informed of what’s happening under the hood.\n\nOne of my favorite things about the car however is Jonatan’s collection of authenthic Japanese (or at least Japanese-styled) stickers. It just adds that last bit to make the car look like it came straight from a drift session on Japan’s touge.",
null,
"Honestly, Jonatan’s R32 left an impression on me! It’s a stunning car and he’s lucky to call it his own. Enjoy the rest of the pictures in the full gallery below and stay tuned!",

"At a time when everyone needs better information, from disease modelers and governments to people quarantined or just social distancing, we lack reliable evidence on how many people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or who continue to become infected. Better information is needed to guide decisions and actions of monumental significance and to monitor their impact.\n\nDraconian countermeasures have been adopted in many countries. If the pandemic dissipates — either on its own or because of these measures — short-term extreme social distancing and lockdowns may be bearable. How long, though, should measures like these be continued if the pandemic churns across the globe unabated? How can policymakers tell if they are doing more good than harm?\n\nVaccines or affordable treatments take many months (or even years) to develop and test properly. Given such timelines, the consequences of long-term lockdowns are entirely unknown.\n\nThe data collected so far on how many people are infected and how the epidemic is evolving are utterly unreliable. Given the limited testing to date, some deaths and probably the vast majority of infections due to SARS-CoV-2 are being missed. We don’t know if we are failing to capture infections by a factor of three or 300. Three months after the outbreak emerged, most countries, including the U.S., lack the ability to test a large number of people and no countries have reliable data on the prevalence of the virus in a representative random sample of the general population.\n\nThis evidence fiasco creates tremendous uncertainty about the risk of dying from Covid-19. Reported case fatality rates, like the official 3.4% rate from the World Health Organization, cause horror — and are meaningless. Patients who have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately those with severe symptoms and bad outcomes. As most health systems have limited testing capacity, selection bias may even worsen in the near future.\n\nThe one situation where an entire, closed population was tested was the Diamond Princess cruise ship and its quarantine passengers. The case fatality rate there was 1.0%, but this was a largely elderly population, in which the death rate from Covid-19 is much higher.\n\nProjecting the Diamond Princess mortality rate onto the age structure of the U.S. population, the death rate among people infected with Covid-19 would be 0.125%. But since this estimate is based on extremely thin data — there were just seven deaths among the 700 infected passengers and crew — the real death rate could stretch from five times lower (0.025%) to five times higher (0.625%). It is also possible that some of the passengers who were infected might die later, and that tourists may have different frequencies of chronic diseases — a risk factor for worse outcomes with SARS-CoV-2 infection — than the general population. Adding these extra sources of uncertainty, reasonable estimates for the case fatality ratio in the general U.S. population vary from 0.05% to 1%.\n\nThat huge range markedly affects how severe the pandemic is and what should be done. A population-wide case fatality rate of 0.05% is lower than seasonal influenza. If that is the true rate, locking down the world with potentially tremendous social and financial consequences may be totally irrational. It’s like an elephant being attacked by a house cat. Frustrated and trying to avoid the cat, the elephant accidentally jumps off a cliff and dies.\n\nCould the Covid-19 case fatality rate be that low? No, some say, pointing to the high rate in elderly people. However, even some so-called mild or common-cold-type coronaviruses that have been known for decades can have case fatality rates as high as 8% when they infect elderly people in nursing homes. In fact, such “mild” coronaviruses infect tens of millions of people every year, and account for 3% to 11% of those hospitalized in the U.S. with lower respiratory infections each winter.\n\nThese “mild” coronaviruses may be implicated in several thousands of deaths every year worldwide, though the vast majority of them are not documented with precise testing. Instead, they are lost as noise among 60 million deaths from various causes every year.\n\nNote the uncertainty about influenza-like illness deaths: a 2.5-fold range, corresponding to tens of thousands of deaths. Every year, some of these deaths are due to influenza and some to other viruses, like common-cold coronaviruses.\n\nIn an autopsy series that tested for respiratory viruses in specimens from 57 elderly persons who died during the 2016 to 2017 influenza season, influenza viruses were detected in 18% of the specimens, while any kind of respiratory virus was found in 47%. In some people who die from viral respiratory pathogens, more than one virus is found upon autopsy and bacteria are often superimposed. A positive test for coronavirus does not mean necessarily that this virus is always primarily responsible for a patient’s demise.\n\nIf we assume that case fatality rate among individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2 is 0.3% in the general population — a mid-range guess from my Diamond Princess analysis — and that 1% of the U.S. population gets infected (about 3.3 million people), this would translate to about 10,000 deaths. This sounds like a huge number, but it is buried within the noise of the estimate of deaths from “influenza-like illness.” If we had not known about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to “influenza-like illness” would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average. The media coverage would have been less than for an NBA game between the two most indifferent teams.\n\nThe most valuable piece of information for answering those questions would be to know the current prevalence of the infection in a random sample of a population and to repeat this exercise at regular time intervals to estimate the incidence of new infections. Sadly, that’s information we don’t have.\n\nIn the absence of data, prepare-for-the-worst reasoning leads to extreme measures of social distancing and lockdowns. Unfortunately, we do not know if these measures work. School closures, for example, may reduce transmission rates. But they may also backfire if children socialize anyhow, if school closure leads children to spend more time with susceptible elderly family members, if children at home disrupt their parents ability to work, and more. School closures may also diminish the chances of developing herd immunity in an age group that is spared serious disease.\n\nThis has been the perspective behind the different stance of the United Kingdom keeping schools open, at least until as I write this. In the absence of data on the real course of the epidemic, we don’t know whether this perspective was brilliant or catastrophic.\n\nYet if the health system does become overwhelmed, the majority of the extra deaths may not be due to coronavirus but to other common diseases and conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, trauma, bleeding, and the like that are not adequately treated. If the level of the epidemic does overwhelm the heath system and extreme measures have only modest effectiveness, then flattening the curve may make things worse: Instead of being overwhelmed during a short, acute phase, the health system will remain overwhelmed for a more protracted period. That’s another reason we need data about the exact level of the epidemic activity.\n\nOne of the bottom lines is that we don’t know how long social distancing measures and lockdowns can be maintained without major consequences to the economy, society, and mental health. Unpredictable evolutions may ensue, including financial crisis, unrest, civil strife, war, and a meltdown of the social fabric. At a minimum, we need unbiased prevalence and incidence data for the evolving infectious load to guide decision-making.\n\nIn the most pessimistic scenario, which I do not espouse, if the new coronavirus infects 60% of the global population and 1% of the infected people die, that will translate into more than 40 million deaths globally, matching the 1918 influenza pandemic.\n\nThe vast majority of this hecatomb would be people with limited life expectancies. That’s in contrast to 1918, when many young people died.\n\nOne can only hope that, much like in 1918, life will continue. Conversely, with lockdowns of months, if not years, life largely stops, short-term and long-term consequences are entirely unknown, and billions, not just millions, of lives may be eventually at stake.\n\nIf we decide to jump off the cliff, we need some data to inform us about the rationale of such an action and the chances of landing somewhere safe.\n\nJohn P.A.

"RPG Recap 5: Fit for a Hero\n\nIn a previous Pathfinder entry I mentioned our collection of magic rings, one of which was the Golden Ring of Spontaneous Combustion. It was an absolute last resort item.\n\nCultists were about to sacrifice our king in Pathfinder, and they holed up in the castle prison: they were locked in a cell and performing the rites to do whatever terrible thing they were about to do to our helpless liege. We had moments to spare before they finished, and nobody could pick the lock to reach them in the back of this huge cell.\n\nTotok the Barbarian — bearer of the explosive ring — looked at us all and said, “Everybody out.”\n\nWe all knew exactly what was about to happen, and we immediately jammed up the door like the three stooges. A heartbeat later there was a resounding BOOM that shook the castle in its foundation. When the ringing in our ears stopped, we went back inside.\n\nIt apparently did exactly what it described, this ring: the wearer would explode and kill everything around him, lose all his gear, and have to make a save not to die himself.\n\nThe air in the prison was all smoke and debris, and the cell was gone: in its place was a pile of rubble, a crater, and a scattering of ash what used to be Totok and the cultists. The castle guards rushed to the king’s aid, who had miraculously passed the save being just outside the kill zone.\n\nWhen asked if he was all right, the king coughed twice, smiled through his concussion, and rasped, “That was pretty cool.”\n\nHe then put up the money to have Totok resurrected, but it’s up to the spirit whether or not they return when called. Despite being reunited with his dead wife, he felt his duty wasn’t yet finished, and returned to the land of the living…wearing fuck-all for clothes. He is rewarded by the king during a ceremony while holding a helmet over his privates.\n\nWell, by this point in the campaign Bonny Braids (my irresponsible cleric) had begun her path to righteousness, and was very slowly but surely becoming the decent person that she was destined to be. She admired Totok so much for his sacrifice — both dying to save his king, then giving up the reunion with his dead family — she insisted on taking him out on the town to have a few drinks and buy some new clothes.\n\nThree tankards later, this went COMPLETELY out of hand and turned into a trip to Las Vegas: they proceeded to hit every single shop in the impressively sized market district, going down the line of shops and buying something at every one. If it happened to be another tavern, so be it: more drinks, and more gambling for Bonny (resolved with a simple die roll). I had a chart of their path through the market district in relation to their drunkeness, but I lost it, so I will summarize the afternoon with a helpful line graph:",
null,
"Here is the list of items purchased in the course of one bout of bar hopping:\n\nTotok’s New Gear\nGreataxe\nScale Mail\nBackpack\nBedroll\nChalk x10 (for warding each shop against evil spirits, aka drawing dicks on everything)\nFlint & Steel\n50 ft Silk Rope\nSack x3 (you can never find a sack when you need one)\nWhetstone\n1 lbs Soap (‘cos hes a barbarian)\nTorches x5\nWaterskin\nFine Dude Clothes (he needs to look sharp, he works for the King now!)\nTraveler’s Outfit\nPipe and Tobacco (to match the dude clothes)\n\nBonny’s New Gear\nGlaive (which she can’t use, but she’ll train someday and it’ll be awesome)\nOcarina (she doesn’t know how to play, but she’ll learn one day)\nPouch of Raspberries (aka medieval lipstick)\n\nNew Additions to the Party HQ\nCarriage\nOx (for carriage…?)\nBilly the Pygmy Goat (“He can be our mascot! Assuming Fara’s tiger Zieg doesn’t eat him…)\n2 Bags of Grain (came with the goat)\n\nThe goat mysteriously vanished and was probably eaten by the tiger after all. The carriage lasted a single in-game day, used to ride to the next country for the next sub-quest. Bonny never used the glaive or the ocarina.\n\nTotok never wore the fine clothes or used the pipe. He sure used the shit out of that chalk, though, warding the city against evil spirits…and making headlines as a nameless mystery vandal the city guard never apprehended."

"He looks at two major decisions facing Canada and the UK toward Sri Lanka, and explains how pressure from the Tamil diaspora affected how each government decided to respond to events.\n\nCountries in the West have long welcomed immigrants from all over the world. In Canada, as many as half of the residents in the country’s largest city, Toronto were not born in Canada. In the United Kingdom, one in seven British residents were born abroad. As newcomers arrive, many organise into diaspora communities, setting up organisations which support the continuation of “homeland” cultural or athletic practices, offer settlement and integration services, and advocate for the rights of newcomers to government officials.\n\nAlong with the creation of service-oriented organisations, many diasporas have created interest groups advocating for issues facing their homeland. This is especially true for those fleeing conflict and communities seeking to establish a national homeland. In the 1970s and 1980s, for example, Vietnamese immigrants advocated for political prisoners in Vietnam while the Jewish diaspora did the same for Jews imprisoned in the Soviet Union. In Canada and the UK, the Sikh diaspora has sought to enhance support within its host country governments for the creation of a national homeland for Sikhs. In Germany, the country’s large Turkish diaspora includes many Kurds who seek the establishment of a Kurdish homeland.\n\nHow successful have these groups been in influencing host country government policy towards such issues? Given American influence abroad, its large diaspora communities, and pluralistic system, it’s not surprising that this question has been on the minds of American foreign policymakers for many years. In parliamentary democracies like the UK and Canada, there has been much less research undertaken on this question. Through an analysis of the efforts of Tamil diaspora interest groups in both countries, I set out to uncover whether they’ve influenced policymaking toward Sri Lanka.\n\nMy research looked at two major decisions facing Canadian and British governments toward Sri Lanka: how to respond to the dramatic final stages of the country’s 26-year-old civil war in 2009; and whether or not their respective Prime Ministers should attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Sri Lanka in 2013. What the evidence shows is that Tamil diaspora interest groups did indeed influence foreign policy outcomes in these cases.\n\nIn the face of a humanitarian disaster in 2009, Tamil diaspora interest groups in both countries vigorously pressured the two governments to use any means available to force the Sri Lankan government to end hostilities against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Such groups were more influential in impacting the UK’s response than Tamil groups in Canada for three key reasons.\n\nFirstly, the governing Labour party in the UK viewed the Tamil diaspora as politically salient. Tamils are concentrated in a number of important London-area constituencies and, only a year before the 2010 general election, Labour desperately needed to hang onto these constituencies. The Tamil diaspora in Canada is similarly concentrated in Toronto, but the Tory government in 2009 did not view Tamils as political salient – they were viewed as traditionally supportive of the Liberal Party and not likely to switch to the Conservatives.\n\nSecondly, both Tamil diasporas engaged in contentious action through continuous, massive protests in major cities. The demonstrations in London were some of the largest in history, involving hunger strikers and altercations with police. Similar scenes were witnessed in Canada, but the effect was very different. In the UK, Tamil diaspora interest groups representing the protesters retained a measure of control over the protests, including liaising with law enforcement. Additionally, Labour party ‘inside advocates’ in the form of MPs sympathetic to the Tamil cause interfaced with Cabinet members to leverage the power of the protests. In Canada, the Harper government was at no point moved by demonstrations and increasingly viewed them as hostile and illegitimate. The use of LTTE flags by protesters, which was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in 2006, further reduced Harper government sympathies.\n\nFinally, efforts prior to 2009 by British Tamil diaspora elites to build inroads with the governing Labour Party led to readily available channels of access, unlike in Canada where the diaspora has failed to do the same with governing Tories, who still viewed the Tamil groups as suspect.\n\nThe story was very different in 2013. Facing the decision to boycott the Commonwealth Summit in Sri Lanka over the government’s human rights record, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper chose to stay away, sending a low-level delegation instead. His British counterpart and fellow Conservative, David Cameron chose to attend.\n\nSo what had changed since 2009? Firstly, after the 2011 Canadian general election, the Tamil diaspora became a much more strategic constituency for the Tories than they had been in 2009. Secondly, the Tamil community largely abandoned its contentious tactics in favour of developing a more sophisticated approach of building trusted channels of access through which to engage Conservative policymakers. In the UK, despite the Tamil diaspora having its own channels of access, Cameron chose to attend the summit. The UK’s dominant role in the Commonwealth institution and the confirmed attendance of the Prince of Wales ensured Cameron’s presence at the summit – and no amount of pressure could be applied by the diaspora to alter this outcome. However, diaspora elites were able to negotiate Cameron’s visit to include a visit to Tamil-dominated regions, a public remonstration of the Sri Lankan government, and other concessions aimed at embarrassing the latter.\n\nA number of factors, including strategies employed by interest groups and the role states play in international institutions, impact whether or not diasporas influence host country foreign policy. As pluralist democracies, countries like Canada and the UK should expect the involvement of diasporas in the foreign policymaking process and, where possible, engage these interest groups to enhance knowledge of and networks in homeland countries. Engaging diaspora organisations constructively can enhance the UK’s role as a peacemaker in conflicts abroad and encourage the inclusion of diverse communities in British public life – making politics more reflective of the country’s growing diversity.\n\nDiasporas as a force in foreign affairs: the case of Tamils in Britain and Canada\n\nMatthew Godwin holds degrees from UCL, SOAS, the University of Toronto and Dalhousie University. He has been published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Canadian Foreign Policy Journal, Canadian Parliamentary Review and elsewhere. Having worked previously in the Canadian and UK parliaments, as well as in a technology start-up, Matthew now pursues his interest in Middle East politics at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and continues research on inclusive growth, diasporas and migration.\n\nAll articles posted on this blog give the views of the author(s), and not the position of LSE British Politics and Policy, nor of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Facebook removed the app from the App Store last summer after Apple complained that it violated the App Store’s guidelines on data collection."

"A.I. These 2 simple letters may conjure up images of robots dominating the world, but really—what is it?\n\nA.I. (artificial intelligence) is exactly what its name indicates. Intelligence that is artificial- or synthesized—which allows a program/robot to perform tasks usually performed by living humans and animals. Though there is no set definition for A.I., it commonly boils down to the ability to associate one thing with another by the use of algorithms, equations, big data learning, and past experiences.\n\nThough we may not notice it, A.I. has quietly permeated our lives. We see it in our smart phones (with programs which can respond and “talk” to us), in office personal assistant programs, in chess games and in vehicles. All these new technologies use A.I. and are meant to make our lives more efficient. The potential for it is boundless.\n\nHowever, these conveniences come bundled with some complicated legal issues surrounding regulation and liability. The need to understand these developments, consider whether to regulate within one’s own territory, and how to reconcile the development and use of A.I. products amongst the other jurisdictions, are important issues to explore.\n\nThis article outlines issues on liability that we should examine in hopes of creating a framework to allow A.I. development and protect the safety of consumers and users of A.I. products. All the examples presented in this article are hypothetical and are not based on any existing products or research and development, but serve to broach the subject of how to consider liability.\n\nThe need to create laws in relation to A.I. has been discussed much in the past year, but the concepts are still very vague, with the extent of the regulations (if any at all) shrouded in uncertainty.\n\nUltimately, regulation is being considered, to put in place accountability for liabilities. Who should be liable for the faults, negligence or damage that may be caused by A.I. programs?\n\nCan the A.I. robot (or program, if there is no physical form) be liable? This discussion goes into ethics and the extent we are willing to recognize A.I. robots/programs as beings accountable for their own actions. What could they give to compensate damage and loss suffered? In theory, if A.I. robots/programs are to be held liable, that would likely mean that they have first been given rights. This concept encompasses a plethora of fundamental rights questions, including whether they should in the future be entitled to rights similar to our human rights.\n\nLet us consider this idea in the scheme of the Belt and Road. Spreading across more than 70 jurisdictions, the Belt and Road embodies a vast and rapidly expanding trading platform with different religions and cultures– factors of which affect policy and law making. These nations may have different views on whether A.I. programs themselves can be held accountable, and cross border disputes on this may be complicated if bodies of people have different fundamental perspectives concerning A.I. programs.\n\nThe law should be able to provide for certainty to the furthest extent possible. If some countries have regulations holding the A.I. robot liable whilst others hold the operator/manufacturer/coder liable, there will not be any clarity and certainty in the laws with regard to cross border trade, especially if the damage caused could amount to a criminal offence which cannot be contracted out of by the parties.\n\nAssuming that we do not want to explore holding robots and programs accountable, we have to consider whether the operator, the manufacturer or the coder is to be liable for loss or damages suffered by other humans.\n\nIn some cases, the operator of the A.I. robots/programs could simply be an unwitting person who presses a button to start up the A.I. program. Or it could be a passenger who happens to be sitting in the front seat of an autonomous vehicle. This person may not know the latent defects in the system, or may not be able to control the learning of the A.I. robot/program (which could possibly learn something wrong and amplify it).\n\nPresume that an A.I. powered baking robot, which is operated by an operator who turns on a button, baked a wedding cake and incorrectly added salt, rather than sugar. The cake was not the taste that the consumer had contracted for and this problem could not be rectified in time for the wedding. Assuming the operator had supplied all the sufficient raw materials to the baking robot, would the operator be liable? What if the robot baker had “learnt” from big data (which may not always contain accurate information) that foods are healthier with less sugar and deliberately put the salt in it? Would the operator still be liable?\n\nThe Coder and the Manufacturer?\n\nIf there are situations where the operator cannot control the A.I. robot/program, and damage and loss is caused to a third party, can the coder be liable? The coder might have only created the program and given it the power to learn from big data. Once the program leaves the hands of the coder, the coder may no longer be able to control it.\n\nWhen we consider the coder’s potential liability, we may also need to consider whether the liability will fall on the shoulders of the manufacturer of the hardware which allows the program to be executed with.\n\nLet us consider a hypothetical closed-circuit television security system with A.I. that is linked to a robot and able to subdue threats via a number of methods including issuing verbal warnings, police notification and in extreme circumstances, can fire bullets at threats. The program is coded to allow for the system to identify a threat (eg if someone is screaming whilst being held at knife point) and it can also learn what new threats are. If the program mistakenly learns that any loud noises amount to an extreme threat, it may inappropriately trigger the bullet shooting ‘subdue threat’ function. For example, suppose a group of people were conversing loudly to each other near the premises where this security system was installed and the noise level was assessed by the system as being an extreme threat. The security system then shoots at the group and injures them-- who would be liable? What if the accompanying bullet-shooting robot had a defect, causing it to shoot off target, thus injuring a passerby, who would be liable?\n\nFurther to what was discussed above, there may be other parties who might be liable, and the above hypothetical examples only bring out some of the issues that should be considered. Issues in relation to foreseeability and causation also need to be explored.\n\nThese are tough questions, and how we view them will greatly depend on our laws and our view of humanity and ethics.\n\nPerhaps it may be possible to establish a government department consisting of technology savvy persons, policy makers, social scientists, legal professionals and also persons in the respective industries that the A.I. technology may be being developed for, to consider ways to regulate and develop A.I. technology so that it protects us but is not be duly restrictive to technological progress.\n\nSome of the existing laws can apply to certain situations to cover use of A.I. Guidelines might need to be issued to further supplement those.\n\nAs the technology is likely to be used across borders, especially in relation to programs using A.I., we may also need to consider setting up an international panel to regulate and prepare conventions on the use of A.I. to ensure the accountability is clear. Even though the technical development of A.I. might be without bounds, there should be controls in place to help ensure potential damages to our society are kept within bounds and liabilities clear.\n\nThe Law Society of Hong Kong is organizing a second annual Belt and Road Conference to be held on 28 September 2018 at the Wanchai Exhibition Centre and a main feature this year is on technology.\n\nHin Han Shum has a broad range of advisory and contentious commercial experience. She focuses her practice on telecommunications, and advises on data privacy, cybersecurity, and technology matters. She has served as legal representative in various litigation proceedings and is an accredited general mediator."

"‘This Attitude Is Why People Hate Celebrities.’ Former Disney Star Under Fire for Tweeting That Deadly Mudslides Made Her Miss Boyfriend’s Concert\n\nFormer Disney Channel star Bella Thorne came under fire after she sent a since-deleted tweet complaining that traffic caused by the southern California mudslides was causing her to miss the first date of her rapper boyfriend Mod Sun’s tour.\n\nThe 20-year-old, who boasts nearly 7 million followers on Twitter, posted a second message after she realized her faux pas. “F**k just caught up on some news had no idea why the 101 was shut down…get home to your family safe,” she wrote.\n\n“This attitude is why people hate celebrities/Hollywood. Bella, I’m sorry you were inconvenienced. We will try to move out our dead quicker,” he wrote.\n\nOfficers are continuing to search for the roughly 43 people missing after the California mudslides poured over land torched in a historic wildfire last month and into several dozen homes in Montecito, killing at least 17 and injuring dozens more.\n\nThorne made headlines earlier this week after she revealed on Instagram that she had suffered sexual abuse as a child.\n\n“I was sexually abused and physically growing up from the day I can remember till I was 14,” she wrote. “When I finally had the courage to lock my door at night and sit by it. All damn night. Waiting for someone to take advantage of my life again. Over and over I waited for it to stop and finally it did.”",

"Learn surgery on a bell pepper? Not anymore.\n\nOne of the most fascinating things about technological history is seeing how innovations in one field have ripple effects that couldn't have been predicted by their original innovators. When Henry Ford made the automobile affordable for the everyday worker, could he have had any idea that would play a huge role in creating the suburbs? Probably not. When Vincent Cerf and other graduate students at UCLA in the 1960s developed packet switching as a way for the military to more reliably transmit data, could they have had the slightest inkling they were laying the building blocks for the current Internet and the staggering level of interconnectedness we experience today? Probably not.\n\nThe same can almost certainly be said about Scott Crump and Chuck Hull. When they were filing their patents in the 1980s for the first 3D printing technologies, could they have had any idea that 30 years later their original innovation would bring us to the cusp of the healthcare revolution we're about to experience? Although I've never met or spoken to Crump or Hull, my guess is they couldn't have seen this coming.\n\nAfter years of painstakingly small progress, we're on the verge of a healthcare revolution that not only promises to improve physician training and patient outcomes, but also brings a desperately needed level of efficiency to the medical industry in terms of lowering costs and using resources more efficiently. I'm referring to the bit-by-bit progress that has been made toward patient-specific 3D printed anatomical models that include the specific pathology of the patient. In other words, instead of seeing a generic shaped-kidney with a generic-shaped tumor in it, surgeons can now hold in their hands, a replica of a specific kidney with a specific tumor and manipulate that model with a scalpel or other surgical tools just as if he or she were doing the actual procedure.\n\nWhile patient-specific models have been around for a while, they have usually been in hard materials that are visually accurate but offer little functionality. With today’s 3D printing technology, such models can be used for pre-operative surgical simulation as well as far greater medical education and residency training. This has enormous implications to improve the quality of healthcare.\n\nWorking with an Exact Model before the Procedure\n\nWe're beginning to see data that shows if a physician can have a patient-specific model prior to a procedure, he or she can not only practice the procedure if so required, they can also show that model to the patient who gets a greater level of comfort now that they have a better understanding of what they are about to undergo. In addition, the data suggests being able to practice on a patient’s specific model first can decrease the time for a procedure.\n\nFor example, if the average time for resecting a tumor after clamping the renal artery to save a kidney is 30 minutes, once the surgeon can “practice” first perhaps the time goes down by a few minutes. Those few minutes can make a difference between saving the kidney or ending up on a lifetime of dialysis. It's important to state that years of research on this topic is still needed, but the early data suggests this research is wholly justified.\n\nTwo individuals at the forefront of this revolution are Dr. Jacques Zaneveld and Dr. Smriti Zaneveld, co-founders of the medical 3D printing startup Lazarus 3D. Lazarus has taken the ability to produce patient-specific anatomical models to a new level with a unique approach they have been developing over the past four years, which combines manipulating the durometers of soft polymers with 3D printing to produce realistic anatomical models that can be cut with a scalpel or manipulated with a variety of surgical instruments just like real tissue. This has enormous implications for the quality of patient outcomes in the years to come.\n\nWhen asked about the catalyst for launching Lazarus 3D and developing their own proprietary technology, Jacques explained, \"The gap between medical training and the reality of actually practicing surgery was simply too great to ignore. You have residents and even experienced physicians training on bell peppers to learn a procedure.\"\n\nSmriti commented that \"Seeing OBGYNs use playdough or flower pots as make-shift training models of women’s anatomy to learn complex medical procedures was terrifying. The training that residents were provided was far from an accurate representation of human anatomy and simulation was nowhere near good enough.” So, starting at their kitchen table four years ago, they began experimenting with different durometers of silicone in combination with FDM technology to produce patient-specific anatomical models that would mimic the feel of human tissue. Shortly after his “eureka” moment, Jacques filed the patent for the innovation which has now been issued by the USPTO.\n\nLazarus 3D has shipped hundreds of anatomical models and patients’ organs worldwide. In these models, the kidney with a tumor feels like a kidney, and the tumor feels like a tumor; a heart feels like a heart but with the correct internal anatomy; and even a bladder with the texture of cancerous tumors on the internal surface can be picked up under various shades of blue and white light.\n\nIn addition to the medical benefits, we're finally at the stage where the healthcare industry seems to have caught up in realizing the benefits of including patient-specific models as something to reimburse in the field of healthcare. In July, the AMA announced it had accepted the recommendation of the College of Radiology (a proponent of the use of 3D printing in healthcare) to reimburse “the production of 3D printed anatomical models and personalized 3D printed cutting or drilling tools.” The reimbursement covers a wide range of anatomy from bones and arteries to organs and even the brain.\n\nPhysicians will have the opportunity to practice a highly complex procedure first. Will practicing a procedure on a patient specific model always be necessary? No. But as Jacques pointed out, \"The vast majority of procedures are routine enough so that preoperative models are not needed. But for especially complex cases a patient specific model that can be practiced upon does have enormous benefit in improving the quality of the outcome, as well as decreasing the actual time the procedure takes. And the less time the procedure takes, the greater the likelihood of avoiding complications\".In addition to the potential for improving patient care, Smriti and Jacques have realized another benefit.\n\nUsing Models to Get Creative\n\nHaving worked with physicians at the Cleveland Clinic and the MD Anderson Cancer Center, as well as doctors from hospitals around the country, the team at Lazarus 3D has learned that giving doctors realistic models for simulation allows them to be creative in ways they simply couldn't have been otherwise. Meaning that they can try new approaches to a procedure they wouldn't have had the freedom to do previously in a totally risk-free environment. This is leading to innovations in a much shorter timeframe.\n\nFrom a strictly business point of view, this is an excellent opportunity for hospitals to get greater turnover in their operating room in a 24-hour cycle, which increases revenues while creating a greater return on the sunk investment of medical equipment while also decreasing the probabilities of readmittance from postoperative issues. Insurance companies should also see cost savings as procedural times and readmittance rates potentially decrease. All of this is going to take years of research and data collection to verify. But the potential benefits are so enormous that the cost of such research is more than justified.\n\n“We've done a lot of work these past four years and from the point of view of running a business we've learned some hard lessons, but we truly believe this approach to the practice of medicine benefits everyone,” Smriti said. “Better models for training and surgical simulation, whether it is for residents or experienced physicians, benefits everyone. Ultimately, our work is humanitarian.”\n\nJack Heslin is a freelance contributor to DesignNews.com. He works with Stratasys Direct Manufacturing helping companies in Connecticut and New York evaluate which additive technologies and materials are right for projects that include prototyping, tooling and production quality parts."

"With her son’s life in the balance, Catherine Fry is forced to locate and steal the priceless Ruby Cross of the Knights Templar. She knows who has it—it’s just a matter of coercing Thomas Glanville, the handsome and incredibly stubborn captain of the ship she’s captured, into telling her the exact location. Fortunately, Catherine knows that there are many ways to get a man to talk…\n\nCaptain Thomas Glanville has the cross and he’ll be damned if he’s going to hand it over now that he finally has the means to buy a ship of his own. He’s at the mercy of a fiery woman who will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. But Catherine has no idea who she’s dealing with—and Thomas has his own means of charming a woman into his mercy and his bed…\n\nI received an eARC of the book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.\n\nDisclaimer: This is the third book in the Love on the High Seas series but can be read as a standalone.\n\nPirates are awesome!! I love pirates, so the fact that the title of this book suggests a female pirate? HOT DARN! I couldn’t resist myself from requesting this book and I am so so glad that it absolutely delivered on all my expectations!\n\nCatherine is a woman on a mission – to steal the priceless treasure but not because she wants it for herself, but because she need it to save her family. Now if only the pesky attraction to man holding that treasure wasn’t getting in her way!\n\nThomas Glanville is also on a mission, but more of a selfish one – to prove to his brothers that he is worthy of his family’s name after all! But he really wasn’t expecting to be set on by a pirate, especially not of the female variety! Well, isn’t this going to be a problem!!\n\nI ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS AUTHOR’S STYLE OF WRITING – because this book has absolutely everything – a strong, freaking strong heroine who while she understands her limitations, is never set by them and a hero who is cocky, narcissistic yet somehow on a deeper level connects with the heroine.\n\nI loved Catherine and Thomas’s way of communicating with each other – it is snarky, even in dire situations and made my heart go soft even in situations that were supposed to be hilarious! There is action, romance, and angst and the plot is so freakishly well written that it was almost impossible to predict the next turn – yes I said almost, because it took me a few chapters but once I got the hang of Ms. Hughes’ writing style, there was a bit predictability in this book. But I loved it still the same, BECAUSE PIRATES!! 😀"

"How many times have you asked yourself: What do men really want in a woman?\n\nWhat is the secret ingredient to attracting them like a magnet and making them commit right away?\n\nMany women have been ignorant of the fact that men love chasing.\n\nIn fact, men LIVE for the chase because it’s in their blood to fight for something they want so badly and to prove to others that they are capable of winning that specific thing or someone—you.",
null,
"Many women have been guilty of giving themselves to men right away, before making sure that they are giving their heart to the right man.\n\nBut did you know that with being hard to get, you can kill two birds with one stone?\n\nYes, playing hard to get will both make him attracted to you (because men love chasing) and it will tell you if he’s the right one for you!\n\nIf he’s not making enough effort to win you, it means he’s not worthy of being with you!\n\nFrom that, we could conclude that not just any kind of man loves a woman who is hard to get.",
null,
"A real, ambitious and grown-ass man loves a woman who is hard to get because he knows she knows her worth and she will not easily give her heart to just anyone—only to the one who proves that he deserves her attention!\n\nIf you don’t believe me, here are 7 more reasons men love women who are hard to get!\n\nThese women know what they want",
null,
"Knowing what you want means being confident and sticking to your decisions no matter what. Women who are hard to get know this very well.\n\nThey know what kind of treatment and what type of man they want, which means they will not accept just anything.\n\nAnd men appreciate women who have distinctive taste when it comes to men and all kinds of things because they know they can’t sell her lies, deceit or any kind of manipulation.\n\nThey appreciate her for that and they want to prove themselves of being worthy of being a part of her life.\n\nThese women boost a man’s confidence",

"When men fight for something they really want and when they finally win it with tons of effort, they immediately feel ten times more confident and happier.\n\nThey feel like they have just won the world and become unstoppable.\n\nA woman who is hard to get invokes these feelings in a man when he starts chasing her and when he finally wins her.\n\nThese women force men to be better",
null,
"By not giving all of themselves instantly to men, these women force men to want to be better.\n\nThey force them to think of every single detail and their behavior because they are afraid that they will fuck things up.\n\nAnd when a man is afraid that he will fuck things up, he instantly multiplies his efforts which helps him to become the best version of himself.\n\nAnd deep down in his heart, he is just aware of the fact that these women are deserving of it, which makes them go crazy for him even more.\n\nThese women are ‘easy to lose’",
null,
"While winning a girl who is hard to get is the best feeling in the world to men, knowing that she is also easy to lose just spices up the game.\n\nIt is the ultimate combo when it comes to capturing a man’s heart for an eternity.\n\nThey know that if they want to keep a woman who is hard to get, they will have to work hard even after they win her and that is what makes them want to work for it.\n\nAs long as they are capable of keeping such a woman, they feel almighty and ultimately worthy of being with her.\n\nThese women are never afraid of pouring their heart into something",
null,
"These women’s hearts provide a different kind of love. Their love and passion is so strong that guys simply can’t help but want it badly.\n\nAnd that’s exactly what they are fighting for.\n\nThey know that when they win the heart of a woman who is hard to get, they will experience an uplifting, selfless love because when she loves, she loves with all of her body and heart.\n\nShe doesn’t have any problem with giving all of herself in a relationship; the only difference is that she’s first making them fight for it, in order to deserve it, and that is what they really love about her.\n\nThese women bring chivalry back",
null,
"These women demand certain actions from men, which means they give them space to show their chivalry and how much they care.\n\nThese women bring the definition of an old-fashioned gentleman into the game and believe it or not, many men live for that shit.\n\nMen are dying to show themselves off and let you know that they are the perfect choice for you.\n\nA man enjoys showing you his gentleman side because it’s in his nature to be a protector of his woman and family.\n\nThese women are powerful",
null,
"Is there anything more powerful than a woman who knows what she wants, who has her own opinions and who won’t dance to other people’s tunes?\n\nI bet there isn’t.\n\nWhile men enjoy being dominant, they also enjoy the company of a powerful woman.\n\nWomen who are hard to get are every man’s dream because these women are ambitious and determined, which is extremely attractive.\n\nThey have the power to change the whole concept of a woman in a man’s brain and to force him to constantly think of new ways to court them, which makes them ultimate goddesses in every man’s eye.",

"A woman gestures next to the house of jailed Palestinian assailant Muntasir Al-Shalabi, after it was blown up by Israeli forces, in Turmus Aya, near Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank July 8, 2021. REUTERS/Mohamad Torokman\n\nTURMUS AYYA, West Bank (Reuters) – Israel drew U.S. criticism on Thursday when it destroyed the family home of a Palestinian-American accused of involvement in a shooting that killed an Israeli and wounded two others in the occupied West Bank.\n\nMuntasir Shalabi was indicted in an Israeli military court over the attack in May near the city of Nablus in which student Yehuda Guetta was shot dead.\n\nAfter an appeal in an Israeli court by Shalabi’s family against the demolition was unsuccessful, the military said, the villa in Turmus Ayya, a village in which many Palestinian-Americans live, was levelled in a controlled explosion.\n\nIn a statement after the home was destroyed, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem called on “all parties to refrain from unilateral steps that exacerbate tensions and undercut efforts to advance a negotiated two-state solution” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\n\n“This certainly includes the punitive demolition of Palestinian homes,” a spokesperson said. “As we stated numerous times, the home of an entire family should not be demolished for the actions of one individual.”\n\nU.S. criticism of Israeli policy towards the Palestinians was rare during the presidency of Donald Trump, who embraced Israel’s settlements – seen by many countries as illegal – in the West Bank. U.S. President Joe Biden has sought to rebuild relations with the Palestinians.\n\nShalabi’s wife, Sanaa, who lived with three of their children in the home in Turmus Ayya, said she spoke with her husband by telephone on Thursday. She described him as a “resister” and vowed to rebuild the house.\n\n“They want to demoralise us, but we are steadfast. This is the situation of the entire Palestinian people,” she said.\n\nIsrael captured the West Bank, along with Gaza and East Jerusalem, in a 1967 war. Palestinians seek the territories for a future state."

"Lamborghini 63 - a cruiser for true fans of the Italian legend",
null,
"Built by Tecnomar, this speedboat is a combination of style and speed, designed for connoisseurs of the legendary Lamborghini brand.\n\nLamborghini has a long history of producing engines for racing boats. And in 2020 became known of a collaboration with Tecnomar, part of the Italian Sea Group, to bring the spirit of the legendary Italian car manufacturer to life in a fast, aggressive motor yacht. And now the Lamborghini 63 was introduced to the general public. The number in the title means not only the length in feet (a little more than 19 meters), but also 1963, when Ferruccio Lamborghini, who had previously been engaged in the production of tractors, began to produce luxury sports cars.\n\nThe main distinguishing feature of the vessel was, of course, its design, executed in the characteristic angular style of Lamborghini. At the same time, the developers faced a non-trivial task - the company's cars are distinguished by a low profile, not very suitable for a vessel, which should be characterized by an acceptable level of comfort. And they honorably coped with her decision. The rooms are spacious with good natural light. For the services of those on board there is a saloon, an owner's cabin, a guest cabin with two single beds and a small galley. The interiors feature a distinctive sporty carbon fiber finish with grey-yellow leather upholstery.\n\nIn the luxurious cockpit, everything is still Lambo-powered: the two leather seats are adapted versions of the Huracan Evo seats with Sparco seat belts; the steering wheel is based on that of the Aventador (no paddle shifters or airbags); even the design of the dashboard and the shape of the caps of the lights are recognizable. In other words, before us - \"Lamborghini on the water.\"\n\nThe boat is finished in Verde gea, the same as the limited edition hybrid Siàn FKP 37, but other colors are possible. The case is made of composite materials, which are durable and at the same time very light (weight - 24 tons). The Lamborghini 63 is powered by two 2000 hp MAN V12 engines. each, thanks to which the vessel is able to reach a maximum speed of 60 knots, which makes it one of the fastest in its class. The stock of fuel is enough to overcome 360 nautical miles, if you move at a cruising speed of 40-45 knots.\n\nThe Lamborghini 63 was created as a weekend cruiser aimed at an audience of dedicated fans of the Italian car brand. The cost of the vessel is about 3.5 million dollars. The Italian Sea Group did not disclose sales details, but says it has already received pre-orders until 2022. It is also planned to produce 63 boats in it."

"Twitter is my most volatile guilty pleasure, at times entertaining me for hours and at others censoring harmless jokes from my feed for either no reason or a very poor one.\nAutomatically detecting malicious content and determining how it differs from content which is inappropriate outside of context is incredibly nuanced, and there’s no perfect way for Twitter to manage its punishment systems. However, I do think the company has the resources available to have active representatives who can monitor red flags, making sure that disputes are properly sorted.\n\nTwitter’s track record with identifying and punishing abusive behavior has always been spotty, either hitting the nail on the head and suspending truly deserving accounts or punishing innocuous users for posting content with personal, non-aggressive context. An example of the former was the suspension of alt-right commentator and former UCI visitor Milo Yiannopoulos, who was permanently suspended after viciously harassing actress Leslie Jones. The latter happened most recently when actress Rose McGowan’s account was temporarily suspended for posting a personal phone number during her deconstruction of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal.\n\nFree speech has been the foundation on which Twitter has based most of its policies, complicating the issue of abuse on the website for many years. Walking the line between letting anyone say anything and protecting people from wanton harassment has been a tough task for Twitter, and it shows. The website has slowly tightened its content control criteria, automatically hiding tweets with “controversial language” (these words range anywhere from “stupid” to extreme expletives) and locking accounts until particularly offending tweets are deleted.\nThese pushes have been slow, painful, and messy, wrongfully locking accounts posting in-jokes as much as it rightfully shuts down deserving accounts. Throughout my years on Twitter I’ve seen both harmless and extremely dangerous accounts get shut down while serial harassers are allowed to keep their accounts with no repercussions.\n\nThe system is far from perfect, and I’m not sure it’ll get better anytime soon. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded to the backlash of McGowan’s account suspension by promising to implement stronger content filters which will ban a wider range of threats, language, and imagery from appearing on Twitter. This would be a welcome announcement if the former content rules have been enforced well, which, as stated before, they have not.\n\nI want to be excited to see regulations against hate symbols and the promotion of violence, but am worried that they will by sloppily thrown into the mix of what already exists and continue to perpetuate already existing problems.\n\nThe letter Dorsey’s team wrote detailing their plan of action against these new forms of abuse mentions that their product and operational teams will be more attentive and thorough when replying to appeals of suspension. This in itself is an exciting announcement, as it will hopefully equate to users better understanding what rules they have broken and how to avoid doing so again in the future. However, I would much rather see an acknowledgement that tweets can have offensive content that, when looked at through the context of the posters’ following, are purely sarcastic.\n\nThis is an incredibly difficult thing for an algorithm to analyze, and I would much rather see the operational team focus on decoding this context rather than tending to people who have already been struck down by Twitter. The best example of this I can think of is the recent suspension of YouTube personality “I Hate Everything” (IHE), who was locked out of his account for sarcastically tweeting that he would kill his brother’s entire family. The joke, which is admittedly shocking from when one does not know of their relationship, is purposefully extreme, implying that, if the tweet were to be followed through with, IHE would also have to kill himself. This tweet was not seen by a particularly wide audience and yet still was enough cause for Twitter to lock his account, preventing him from connecting with his audience or notifying people of his uploads during the duration of the suspension.\n\nThere is a possibility that the team’s increased activity will quickly stomp out any accounts that are accidentally hit with suspensions, but again, the time spent not tweeting can have a surprisingly large impact on the lives of content creators who are expected to be in relatively constant communication with their fans.\n\nTo hope that Twitter will ever have a perfect method of screening content is overly optimistic, but I think it’s reasonable to expect them to not strike their hammer wherever possible offensive content may arise. I hope they begin to consider more factors when considering the suspension of an account in the future, and hopefully not increase the character limit to 280. If I wanted to read full paragraphs I’d go to Reddit.\n\nIsaac Espinosa is a third-year electrical engineering major. He can be reached at imespino@uci.edu."

"Defend the end of each level by obstructing the enemies! Place towers along their path of attack to stop them! Can you defeat your enemies?\n\n✧ Many Enemies\nDefeat many different enemies, including but not limited to Zombies, Creepers, Skeletons, Beetles & Ghosts. This map uses both the usual Minecraft enemies, but also new ones! There are many different mobs with varying abilities. Place towers along their path of attack to stop them!\n\n✧ Random Waves\nThis map uses somewhat randomly generated waves. Waves get harder over time, but the difficulty also changes according to your progress. The waves a created by combining a ton of different 'wave segments'. Later waves have more and harder segments while earlier waves only have very few and easy segments. That means waves will get both harder and longer over time.\n\n✧ Towers\nThis map features a variety of different towers with lots of different attributes and special attacks. Not all towers are be available from the start, you need to unlock some by completing different levels.\n\n✧ Shop\nThere is a shop for all the towers in each level.The shop works very fast and can update itself while you are using it. It is a GUI with multiple pages and can also inform you about various things.\n\n✧ Traps\nTowers are however not the only thing you can place. You can also use a couple of different traps to temporarily obstruct the enemies path.\n\n✧ Enemy Towers\nAnother type of tower are the Enemies towers. In some level there are be enemy towers that help the mobs instead of hurting them."

"To Mr Colothan, Mrs Kneale and all the staff and PTFA at St. Wilfrid’s,\n\nToday was Charlie’s last day with you and I want to thank you all for everything you’ve done for him and the rest of the Class of 2016.\n\nIn 2008 (two minutes ago), I remember visiting the school’s open day to determine whether or not it was the school for him. I went to St. Wilfrid’s between 1977 and 1985 and have many happy memories from my time there. Being a responsible parent, I was very keen not to be swayed by nostalgia and, even though the smell of the paint in the Nursery that evening instantly whisked me back three decades, I was determined to be critical of anything I thought was not up to the standard I felt entitled to expect.\n\nI needn’t have bothered. The school was every bit as involving, varied, nurturing and exciting as I wanted it to be. If I’m honest, it was more so than I remembered it being in my time. We were shown around by a very impressive Year 6 student (I think his name was Tom). I noticed he was the house captain of Leigh (which reminded me that I had once held that position) and I remember thinking that if our already bright and confident three year-old could one day turn out to be like Tom, this was the perfect environment for him to try. The deal was sealed. He was going to St. Wilfrid’s.\n\nFrom the very beginning of his education, I knew we’d made the right choice. I was impressed with the fact the head teacher knew him by name in the first month, by the way the Nursery coaxed the children from being playground-clinging screamers (mentioning no names) into a cohesive unit performing a dance together within months. I was pleased to see the swimming pool not only retained in these cost-conscious times but also renovated. I was pleased to see a school that values participation in sport but is not afraid to accept that sport creates winners and losers.\n\nAs he progressed from Key Stage 1 to 2, it was clear to me he was continually gaining respect from the school and his peers. I was particularly happy to see that he was chosen to be in Leigh house – how could you have known?!\n\nBy now, it really was clear we’d chosen well. The after-school clubs, the artistic and musical opportunities, the embracing of technology and incorporation of the internet. They may all seem ancillary to the actual lessons and learning objectives but they’re all vital components of real life. Partly because it suited our working hours but in no small part because of their intrinsic benefits, we were always very keen to include Charlie in whatever opportunities we could.\n\nAnd then, almost a year ago, he was voted as House Captain by his classmates. As thrilling as that was, selfishly, for me, I was even happier when he was asked to help show prospective parents around at last year’s Open Evening. It seemed he’d fulfilled the destiny I’d ambitiously held for him. I often wonder, in moments of unashamed pride if there are parents in next year’s school intake who will remember and be as impressed by him I as I was, by Tom, all those years ago.\n\nOf course, that wasn’t the end of the story – there were still the SATs to contend with. As with, I suspect, many parents, there were areas of attainment to work on as the full force of Year 6 took hold. I saw the look of pressure in his teachers’ faces as we tried to guide him through the tests as best we could and I appreciated the fact that they were also trying their hardest not to let that pressure adversely affect their pupils’ performance. If only every school could claim that. I’m so grateful that, with their tireless help, he passed all his SATs as well as he did and, once again, I have to wonder if that would have been the case at a different school.\n\nFinally, I’ve been proud to see him exhibit the strong sense of responsibility that the school has nurtured. He’s represented the school at netball, rugby and cricket, musically, dramatically, as part of the Camera Club and at the PGL adventure centre and he’s done it all with great maturity. Perhaps I should have been more pleasantly surprised to see him win your Leadership Award at today’s Leavers’ Assembly but I should rather immodestly confess I didn’t find it that surprising at all.\n\nPeople have told me he’s a credit to Helen and me but I hope you would agree that he’s just as much a credit to his school. I can’t thank you enough for making it possible for me to write that sentence.\n\nKeep doing what you do. The world needs far more Toms and Charlies.",

"As a teenager growing up in the Netherlands, Nick van de Wall just wanted to play music for big crowds. When his career as the DJ Afrojack took off, he not only had crowds to play to around the world, he had a team to take care of, to ensure that his passion could also be a lucrative business.\n\nThe transition from an underground DJ doing his own thing in the late aughts to an international superstar in the the 2010s wasn't simple. \"I did have to learn to trust some people, and it was very, very difficult sometimes, but the only reason it worked out is we were completely honest and open with each other\" Afrojack said in an episode of Business Insider's podcast \"This Is Success.\"\n\nThe key insight that allowed him to take the next steps in his career, including forming his own record label and running the talent agency LDH Europe, was learning to separate ego from decision-making. Afrojack said that \"what I keep saying to myself and to my team, my management team, and my CEOs is be neutral.\" That is, don't act impulsively or selfishly.\n\nOn a related note, Afrojack said that the biggest mistake of his career was declining a credit beyond the liner notes, which barely anyone reads, for a collaboration with David Guetta and Sia back in 2011 because he didn't want to look like he was \"selling out\" by becoming a pop star. The song, \"Titanium,\" went on to go multi-platinum in 12 countries and became one of the biggest songs he ever worked on. His career worked out, obviously, but he missed an opportunity to expand his audience and risked insulting his collaborators.\n\nHe said that he learned to apply that same lesson, \"stop peacocking,\" to his business decisions. \"And that's the thing: The more you are involved with it personally,\" he said, referring to attaching your ego to decisions, \"the sillier you look.\"\n\nAt this point, this insight is even more important, because his decisions not only affect him, but everyone signed to his label and working for his agency.\n\n\"Now I have all these artists signed to me and people with lives, with families,\" he said. \"We're providing for them. They took a risk by working for a new company; it's not going to look good on a résumé if the company fails. So then we're responsible for all of these people.\"\n\nSubscribe to \"This Is Success\" on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you listen. You can find the full Afrojack episode below.\n\nNOW WATCH: Music mogul Troy Carter on what it's like to manage Prince's estate, the music industry today, and more\n\nSEE ALSO: Grammy-winning DJ Afrojack explains how declining a credit on a song that went multiplatinum taught him the most important lesson of his career"

"a photo of the Steadman print\nThe first real job I ever did for a real magazine was in 1978 for Mother Jones Magazine. I was living in Oakland at the time, and I rode my little Yamaha 400 across the Bay Bridge in gale force cross-winds with the illustration in a backpack. I arrived at Mother Jones and handed over the art to the art director (can't recall her name).\n\nShe said she liked the piece very much, but that there was a slight problem. That being, Mother Jones didn't have any money to pay me for the job. I don't mind saying I was counting on the money to pay for some much needed food at the time and the news came as a serious blow to my complaining stomach.\n\nThe art director asked, \"Do you like Ralph Steadman?\" I said that indeed I did. She asked me to follow her and I was escorted to a room where there were perhaps 10 or more signed prints of Steadman's spread out on a table. She asked if I would accept one as payment.\n\nAfter picking out a print, she provided me with a mailing tube which I bungied to my little Yamaha and faced the cross-winds of the Bay Bridge home.\n\nThe print, signed in pencil below a printed signature and numbered 56/100 depicts J. Edgar Hoover and has hung in my house ever since.\nTopical: Whatever"

"Despite frustrations of online school, social isolation, Emmylou Stephens has flourished during the pandemic by getting creative",
null,
"Cinematic arts major Emmylou Stephens stands with her pet eclectus parrot, Sprout. After owning Sprout for the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic, he has become one of Emmylou’s closest companions.\n\nPurple LED lights reflect off the phone screen as the time changes to 11:12 a.m., the exact minute that sixth-period classes begin. Mccallum freshman Emmylou Stephens sighs in relief. She can join the Zoom meeting of Mr. Ken’s A/V Productions class. Since middle school, video editing, production, and graphic design have been a passion of hers and during a time of online learning, it has become something to look forward to even more.\n\nAfter spending nearly an entire calendar year with only her brother, parents and pet Eclectus parrot, Sprout, to keep her company, Emmylou has funneled her restless energy into projects and videos both in and out of the virtual classroom. So much had changed so fast and the familiarity of film was been comforting.\n\nThanks to easy-to-use platforms such as iMovie and TikTok, filming videos (for enjoyment or education) has been one of the few things that she has been able to continue to do during the pandemic and that has followed her in the messy transition from Lamar Middle School to McCallum High School.\n\n“In middle school, I took Principles of Arts and A/V,” Emmylou said. It was a year-long course during her eighth-grade year that introduced her to cinematic arts. Combined with her previous experience of animation and photography, cinematic arts and A/V production felt like the perfect fit. She also began to take graphic design classes, which she has continued at McCallum.\n\nHer love for film production came on rather fast, as before the eighth grade school year, Emmylou had been a successful student as a theatre major at Lamar.\n\n“Whenever she really gets into something, she’s very passionate about it,” said Lily Hobbs, one of Emmylou’s longtime friends and a fellow Mac freshman. “Not necessarily with school, but really anything, like her bird, or makeup, or shows and music.”\n\nHobbs, who is also a Fine Arts Academy major, (though in the guitar program and not cinematic arts), has seen how Emmylou’s interests have evolved over the years. Back when school was a physical building and less of a virtual portal, Hobbs often helped out with Emmylou’s A/V productions project, whether that was as an actor in a video or as a critical eye looking over the details of a project. Back when Emmylou was a part of the theatre program, Hobbs observed from afar, acting as more of an appreciative audience member and less a helpful assistant.\n\n“Obviously theater and cinematic arts are very different but I like how they’re both creative and how I can work with other people.”\n\nThat’s something that Emmylou comes back to a lot. The people. Like so many high school students, the pandemic has left her feeling isolated.\n\n“She stays in her room most of the time,” Miller Stephens, her younger by three years brother said with a laugh. “She likes working alone on filming and stuff.”\n\nThat’s one of the downsides of being a cinematic arts student; it isn’t something that you always need other people for. It can be seen as both a blessing and a curse, since compared to other areas of the Fine Arts Academy, such as music or theatre, cinematic arts students have far fewer roadblocks when it comes to Zoom and online learning, due to the already virtual nature of cinematic arts.\n\nSo far, many of her projects have been done independently. For example, one of her first major assignments was a “how-to” video, where Emmylou filmed and edited a makeup tutorial on herself.\n\nCurrently, she is working on a short film project where she uses inanimate objects as the characters. She has written her scripts to purposefully exclude the need for other people since her options for actors are limited.\n\nAccording to Emmylou, this lack of group projects and abundance of freedom has made things “less stressful.” In some ways, however, this lack of in-person interaction and community is hard, especially since Emmylou is new to McCallum and has yet to experience her program in person at all. Until she finally goes to classes in person, she has no idea how her current class will compare to what she experienced in middle school or how she will approach collaborating with her peers.\n\nEven within some of her strongest relationships, social interactions feel distinctly different. Hobbs feels similarly.\n\n“Talking to any of my friends in person is a little awkward now, but we text all the time so I don’t think we’re any less close or comfortable with each other,” she said. “I think a lot of my friends have changed a lot over quarantine, not in a bad way, but we have a lot of different interests now that we aren’t spending all our time at school.”\n\nIt’s true; Emmylou has changed. From her fashion sense to her taste in shows and hobbies, all of it has evolved as she has entered high school, and her experience as a cinematic arts major has been a constant within the chaos. Going from in-person high school to online high school is bound to come with some growing pains, so she’s glad that her major has given her something to rely on. Through the ups and downs of Covid, the camera has always been there for her. Still, A/V productions and the digital arts can never replace real people.\n\nDespite all the struggles that have come with being a virtual student and the loneliness that has come with the pandemic, Emmylou has been putting in the work to make up for some of what she has lost in the social aspect of her life. Though it’s been difficult being trapped in the same house as her younger brother, Emmylou has been attempting to form a stronger bond with him.\n\n“We get along OK; over coronavirus, she started watching some of the same animes as me,” Miller said. “So now we’re watching Hunter x Hunter together.”\n\nIt’s the simplest thing that can remind Emmylou how valuable her interpersonal relationships are and how remembering to take care of her mental and emotional needs are important. Even though she enjoys her major and being a part of the Fine Arts Academy, sometimes the pressure can be overwhelming.\n\n“I’ve been doing online school this whole year,” Emmylou said. “Managing it all on my own can be stressful but at this point, I’m used to it.”\n\nSadly, being “used to it” doesn’t always mean that it’s easy. When Emmylou was applying to the Fine Arts Academy, she had no idea that her freshman year was going to be 100% online. She’s trying, however, to focus on the positive. Her grades haven’t slipped as much as she thought they would, and even if motivation is hard for students to come by these days, hope for the future school year is keeping her afloat in the sea of uncertainty surrounding mask mandates, vaccine distributions, and schools reopening.\n\nShe tries to stay grateful for the opportunities that she has as a McCallum student and values everything that she has had the privilege of experiencing as a major thus far.\n\n“I think if I were in-person I would appreciate it a lot more so hopefully next year I get to actually go into the building!”"

"If you are a movies fan, well the movie makers factory has churned out some new goodies for your eyeballs. Here is a list of best new movies that came out in the month of March 2019.\n\nGreta is a tale of two ladies drawn together by a ‘lost and found’ purse on the subway. Well, a younger lady in her prime years and an older lady in her sunset years. The older lady is still hangover the loss of companionship as she lives alone, and is more than happy to make new friends.\n\nThe older lady has been planting her purse around the city with her address on it so whoever finds it can bring it to her. How unfortunate for the good soul kind enough to return the lost and found purse. Here’s a trailer of Greta:\n\nHere is a movie feminist and gender equity enthusiast will find appealing. Captain Marvel is a female extraterrestrial Kree warrior caught up between an intergalactic war pitting her people (the human race) against the aliens from Skrulls.\n\nCaptain Marvel once lived as Carol Danvers, a U.S. Air Force pilot before she nearly met her death. That is when people from Skrulls found her and ‘upgraded’ her human tissue into a superior alien hybrid with extraordinary powers.\n\nCaught between the war between her people and the alien race, Captain Skrull begins having some part of her memory come back to her in bits and pieces. That is when she realizes she must not let the war pitting her people and Skrulls continue.\n\nAn aging and debilated man finds himself with no power and a fridge running low on food. He then goes on a memory lane trip on his mind, remembering all the losses and mistakes in his yester-years. He is torn between forgiving himself and moving on with his life.\n\nCaptive State is a movies that features the lies in government, slavery, science fiction, and extraterrestrial life all in one movie.\n\nThis movie will resonate well with all the aspiring Silicon Valley entrepreneurship. It is about fancy smart people who are making billions of dollars using cutting edge technology. It is all about high-frequency trading.\n\nIf you are looking for a movie to raise the hairs at the back of the neck, Us by Jordan Peele is a must-watch.\n\nA movie about an elephant with oddly huge ears. It is a great family movie, one that the kids will particularly enjoy."

"Over 100 new people committed to chanting at least one round of the Hare Krishna mahamantra everyday at a week-long Bhagavata Saptah discourse from 9th February to 15th January in Surat, India.",
null,
"“The lectures started with melodious kirtan and bhajans every day,” said Ramanatha Das, one of the organizers of the discourse. “People listened to the story of Prahlada Maharaja and the glories of Lord Nrsimhadev with rapt attention. We also served a sumptuous vegetarian prasadam dinner every day after the discourse.”\n\nThe city of Surat has a long history of regular Bhagavatam discourses organized by various congregation groups, usually attended by thousands of people.",
null,
"“When Srila Prabhupada visited the city in 1971, the entire city turned up to receive him and welcome the visiting devotees from America and Europe,” explained Chandragovind Das. “Ladies, men and children lined rooftops and street corners throwing flower petals at Srila Prabhupada and the devotees. The Mayor of Surat declared a holiday to allow the residents to participate in the harinama sankirtana festival organized by devotees. At that time, Srila Prabhupada said that ‘Surat was a city of devotees’. Today, we can see that Srila Prabhupada’s vision for Surat is unfolding steadily as it has the largest congregation and the maximum number of weekly satsang programmes in the state of Gujarat.”"

"Sonam Gyatso is the first to have the title Dalai Lama. Like his predecessor he became the abbot of Drepung and Sera monasteries in 1552 and 1558 respectively. A year after the death of Gendun Gyatso (Dalai Lama II), Sonam Gyatso was born in Tolung, near Lhasa in 1543. In 1574, Sonam Gyatso established the Namgyal College. Sonam Gyatso expanded Tibetan Buddhist teachings beyond Tibet's borders into Mongolia and China. He spent most of his later years in Mongolia with the Chief Altan Khan who had converted to the Gelugpa tradition along with most of Mongolia. It was Altan Khan that first translated the Tibetan name 'gyatso' (meaning 'ocean' in English), into the Mongol word 'dalai' and created the title Dalai Lama.\n\nThis painting belongs to a famous set depicting each of the Dalai Lamas along with the previous incarnations extending back to the deity Avalokiteshvara. This particular painting is number nine in the set."

"Purchase ANY 3 products and SAVE 7% by using code SAVE7 on checkout!\n\nNite White ACP leads the pack with a breakthrough line of effective, high viscosity, super-low sensitivity tooth whitening gels formulated exclusively for use in a patented dual barrel syringe. Studies indicate that up to 85% of patients want whiter teeth. As the only take-home whitening products on the market to contain amorphous calcium phosphate, Philips Zoom Nite White produces dramatic results far beyond whitening. They're specially designed to rebuild enamel and enhance overall tooth health and strength at the same time. They also significantly reduce patient sensitivity, leading to higher compliance and exceptional patient satisfaction. Many take-home whitening brands can leave a chalky, spotty or blotchy appearance while the teeth gradually re-hydrate. But many users of Philips Zoom Nite White describe their teeth as shiny, glossy, and smooth, even after one treatment.\n\nPhilips ZOOM! Nite White is designed to be used overnight and worn for 4-6 hours. Alternately can be used for 1-2 hours for a less effective treatment. If you are after a day treatment, we recommend Day White which is designed to be worn for 30 minutes, twice a day. 16% carbamide peroxide is recommended for users with normal sensitivity in their teeth and 10% carbamide peroxide for users with sensitive teeth.\n\nNOTE: This product is for the teeth whitening gel only and does not include mouth trays.\n\nBrush and floss your teeth. Place a small line of whitening gel per tooth in the frontal portion of your mouth tray for the front 6 - 8 teeth (approximately .5 cc or less per tray). The gel might irritate the gums if the trays are overloaded. Insert the trays very carefully keeping the gel on the teeth and away from the gums.\n\nPhilips ZOOM! Nite White is designed to be worn for 4-6 hours per day or overnight.\n\nThank you for submitting a review!\n\nYour input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!\n\nFacebookTwitter\nBe the first to review this item\nFilter Reviews:\n×\nClear filters\nMore Filters\nA\n27/02/2021\nAnonymous\n\nThis product worked well and I noticed a difference after one use. Being able to use it during the night whilst asleep is really convenient also however I did feel so sensitivity whilst using it. I do have quite sensitive teeth at the best of times though so may just be a bit too strong for my teeth!\n\nI’ve used it before but this was the first time I had purchased through here. Love the product!\n\nTeeth were white in a matter of days and my order came super fast. Will continue to purchase!\n\nYeah, it works a treat.\n\nAustralia\nAMAZING MY TEETH IN CONJUNCTION WITH MY DENTIST ARE BACK TO WHEN I WAS 30 ,NOW 72\n\nIt was and is amazing all those years ,i am 73, rolled back in 2-3 weeks ,anyone who does not use your product,is a fool or missing out. Eyes and teeth are an important part of one,s appearance. Thank You. Alexander Lamont.",

"The weatherman has also forecast snowfall and hailstorms from tomorrow evening onwards in the state.\n\nDehradun: The meteorological department today predicted inclement weather in Uttarakhand for the next few days during which it said high altitude areas of the state could be hit by snow avalanches.\n\nThe weatherman has also forecast snowfall and hailstorms from tomorrow evening onwards in the state.\n\nThe weather forecast issued this afternoon prompted the Disaster Management and Rehabilitation Deputy Secretary Santosh Badoni to issue an alert to District Magistrates all over the state asking them to keep a vigil and take precautionary measures.\n\nThe forecast is for 36 hours beginning tomorrow evening and is applicable especially to the mountainous districts of Uttarakhand including Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Uttarkashi and Pithoragarh, the alert issued to District Magistrates (DMs) in view of the Meteorological Department prediction said.\n\nThe alert advises people to keep updating themselves about nearby areas receiving snowfall and to not venture out unless very necessary.\n\nPeople living in areas located above 3,000 metres which are likely to be hit by heavy snowfall and snow avalanches have been advised not to let too much snow accumulate over their rooftops, the alert said.\n\nThose living temporarily in higher reaches of the mountains which receive heavy snowfall are advised to take shelter in the lower areas for the next few days, it said.\n\nThe DMs have been asked to keep a tab especially on avalanche-prone areas and spread the news among people living in such areas."

"Season four is finally here, and some big changes are coming with it. As is standard with a new season, there are new multiplayer maps, operators, guns, and a new battle pass, but a lot of this season’s changes unsurprisingly affect Warzone. While there have been no changes to the map as many expected, these changes still could come mid-to-late season. What has changed are the weapons that can be found on the floor and in crates, as well as a few new mid-game events that can totally change the tide of the match.\n\nStarting off with the battle pass, the featured operator is Captain Price as expected, and new weapons the Fennec SMG and CR-56 AR (Which long time COD players are more familiar with calling the Vector and Galil). These guns are unlocked fairly early in the battle pass, and are unlocked for all players, not just those who purchase the battle pass. The pass also includes some of the coolest looking weapon blueprints we have seen yet, as well as vehicle skins, new vehicle horns, charms, stickers, banners, and everything else we have grown accustomed to.",
null,
"As of now, there are three new maps: Tench (a gunfight map), Zhokov Scrapyard – a map from MW2 which is also. a section of the Boneyard ground war map, and the boneyard in Warzone – and Barakett Promenade – a ground war version of the promenade in Warzone.\n\nIn terms of Warzone, the early game “floor loot” has changed quite substantially, with the FAL, RAM-7, M13, MP7, Bizon and others replacing guns such as the Uzi, Oden, P90, Famas and others, and the M4 blueprint switching to a 3-round burst.\n\nNew events have also been added, at points during the mid-game, there is a random chance of a “Fire Sale” or “Jailbreak” to occur. In a fire sale, everything at the shops in-game are heavily discounted, and self revives and player buy-backs are free. This only lasts a minute however and can cause heavy conflict over buy stations. A jailbreak means that everyone waiting in the Gulag, and everyone spectating is able to drop back into the game. This along with the return of Most Wanted Contracts means that all is not necessarily lost when you are down to just one teammate left alive and that spectating a match can be well worth your while.\n\nThe season roadmap shows that this is not all that we are getting this season. New operators Gaz and Roze will be joining the battle soon, along with another map: Cheshire Park, and new weapons: the Rytec AMR and Kali Sticks. Also, we will be getting three more multiplayer game modes: Team Defender, All or Nothing, and One in the Chamber.\n\nSeason Four is out now, so get downloading, because it’s another big one (both in terms of content, and its 35gb+ file size)."

"History of meditation is an ancient practice that can be traced to biblical times and beyond. Like many things spiritual in nature, it can be traced back to ancient India, where their healing arts were summarized in texts known as the Vedas\n\nThese spiritual books were meant to teach the masses about enlightenment and ways to live your life that can lead to a greater understanding of yourself and the world around you. They were meant to impart wisdom and encourage everybody to live their lives in a peaceful way that benefitted not only themselves but society as a whole.\n\nThis history of meditation can be traced back to 1500 BCE, as far as written evidence goes. It had its origins in a system of schooling, where students would follow their teachers out into the world, generally isolated and natural places with dense forest and fresh air so that they could be guided in the art of meditation. It was a very important spiritual practice, then and still, and is linked to Buddhist teachings. Indian Gurus and their students would study and practice this art of clearing the mind and ultimately passed on the knowledge to the surrounding countries.\n\nMeditation was thought to be incredibly important and taught around the world because of the positive results it yielded in daily life. It is a practice that has proven so beneficial that it has survived thousands of years and been passed along from culture to culture. It is incorporated in several different religious sects and continues to be a source of peace and understanding even into the modern age.\n\nModern-day gurus teach classes on meditation all around the world. The best part is that there are several different ways you can meditate, so if one way doesn’t work for you, then you can try another and see if that is going to do the trick. Some people meditate in pure silence, others with peaceful music and candlelight. Some people might prefer a guided meditation, where someone helps them to focus their thoughts in a direction that is most beneficial to them, while others may choose to hold certain thoughts or intentions in their minds so that they can attract those energies to themselves almost unconsciously.\n\nHowever, you choose to use meditation, the implication is clear that it is a practice that works, and it has for a very long time. This art is thousands of years old, and when utilized properly, can really change the way you view yourself and the situations in your life. There is a reason it has survived this long, and that reason is that it is incredibly effective. If it wasn’t, it would have died out by now.\n\nAre you ready to learn the basics of meditation? This guide will show you how!",

"MPs’ Parliamentary Immunity Should Be Re-Examined",
null,
"Recently, Canadians have been spectators to the Greatest Show on Earth. I am not talking about the circus. I am referring to the Senate. Thinking about it, maybe it is a circus. We have witnessed former Senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, and Patrick Brazeau tell their side of the story. They have attacked the Conservative government, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and Senator Marjory LeBreton, amongst others. We have heard others give their input and differing versions.\nParliamentary immunity protects Members of Parliament from prosecution for slander and libel. While within the confines of the Senate or House of Commons, they are ‘safe’ and may say anything that they want. In theory, this immunity protects MPs and allows them to vote freely and expose the truth without fear of lawsuits. As a result, they can freely lie, mislead, destroy reputations, and impugn the integrity of any Canadian without fear of reprisals.\nThe major contrast between the Senate and the House of Commons has been the tone of the debate. The Senate, at least, has tried to maintain a degree of decorum. Is this an example of the wisdom of ages or just lack of experience in attacking the personal reputations of others? Senators don’t seem to be aware of or fully grasp the concept of Parliamentary immunity.\nNot to be outdone, the House of Commons is performing in the other ring. Their MPs have much more experience with Parliamentary immunity. Look at the past. Careers and reputations have been destroyed by MPs as long as they stay within their protected confines. Look at Question Period right now. Facts and truth seem unimportant. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair can say what he wants about Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Privy Council. Prime Minister Harper can say whatever he wants about Nigel Wright being solely responsible. Political points need to be scored and truth or integrity gets in the way. It is a sad statement that we cannot rely on statements made by our political representatives. Simply said, we cannot trust what they say.\nWith this immunity and the ability to totally disregard the truth, we are left with the problem of trying to distinguish fact from fiction. Since we cannot rely on protected statements by our politicians, we cannot rely on their evidence or testimony. We cannot be certain that there are no other explanations so the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt cannot be met. We must lower the threshold to the standard on the balance of probabilities.\nWith this lower standard we are left with the difficulty of separating fact from fiction. How can we know the truth? The majority of statements by both Mulcair and Prime Minister Harper have to be disregarded in the House Chamber. Is this because the truth is other than what is said in the House? Likewise, statements made by Duffy, Wallin, and Brazeau while they were Senators need to be disregarded.\nFortunately, there are other sources of information. We can, to a large extent, rely on statements made outside the protected confines of the Senate or House. There are also documents placed on the public record. From this, among other wrongdoings, we know that there is a serious investigation underway involving double billing.\nPart of the general problem of distinguishing fact from fiction appears to be television media reporting. For the most part, television media reports and commentary rarely qualify their reporting. Anything said in the Senate Chambers, House of Commons or Parliamentary committee is reported or discussed as fact. Print media such as The Hill Times is more careful and better balanced.\nRobert Fife appears to be the exception in television media reporting. He is leading the charge in digging for the truth. He normally distinguishes fact from fiction and differentiates between the two. I have heard him say words to the effect, “Senator…said in the Senate today.” He does not imply that the statement is true, but just reports it. If he has contradictory evidence he also provides that (and he is provided with this from internal sources). What I hear from my source Fife is usually accurate.\nThe original purpose of having immunity to allow Parliamentarians to vote freely is long gone. Both the House and the Senate do not have ‘free votes’ as a norm. Politicians vote on party lines. I am not arguing that Parliamentary immunity should not exist. Indeed, there was a good reason for its existence, but this privilege is now often abused. With modern communications technology, the importance of it has changed. Maybe it should be re-examined and a means to ensure our politicians care about integrity, honesty and truthfulness should be introduced.\nThis piece was first published in the Hill Times on November 25, 2013."

"It’s easy to forget the real jobs behind the letters we find in our mailbox. The postal service can easily be taken for granted, but that doesn’t diminish it’s importance.\nThe Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) came to an agreement with the Canada Post Corporation (CPC) in 2012. The agreement ended in January 2016 and according to the CUPW’s official website, the terms reached still aren’t satisfactory.\n\nThe Mail Carriers united under the CUPW demand decent pensions, pay equity and a sustainable public postal service. Strikers have even gone so far as taking their demands straight to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s electoral district in a march this last August.\n\nSince then, negotiation efforts seem to have begun to bear fruit. On August 30th Alert#9 was issued (and posted to the CUPW’s website) by chief negotiators Sylvain Lapointe and George Floresco. They inform the mail carriers from the Urban Unit as well as the Rural and Suburban Mail Carrier Unit (RSMC) that they succeeded in negotiating to protect four main points: retirement security, pay equality, getting rid of rollbacks, and protecting future generations from retirement plan cutbacks.\n\nAfter reaching the long awaited tentative agreement (August 31st), the national president of the CUPW Mike Palecek says “It’s not over”, in a short article published in the union’s website. In it, he explains that the agreement reached is short-term and that they will be back on the bargaining table with Canada Post sometime next year. Over the next 13 months they will work on geting a third-party pay-equity report that Canada Post won’t be able to tamper with. They will also build a case for postal banking, which they feel is necessary in Canada. Mike Palecek also anticipates that the subject of pensions will come up again during next year’s negotiations; he plans to not only keep defending their pre existing defined benefit plan but also to get rid of the solvency test.\n\nThe agreement was reached just in time as CBC news reports that if it hadn’t been for the settlement, employees would have stopped working overtime as a pressure tactic against Canada Post. Union Spokesperson Ayala Ahmad reportedly said that refusing to work overtime would have highlighted the understaffing problem, and the mail route problem.\n\nOne final step remains to be taken to close negotiations for the time being: ratification of the collective agreement. Workers of the Urban Unit and the RSMC Unit can vote to ratify the agreement and keep it until further notice, or they can choose not to ratify and start negotiations again from square one. The votes will occur nationwide over a period of five to six weeks starting on September 2nd.\n\nEven if the four main points are fixed, many points of negotiation remain to be adressed. Some might see this as a reason not to ratify the agreement. Yet with President Mike Palecek’s promise to re-negociate in a year with better arguments, not ratifying the agreement may seem unwise. In any case, the decision is in the hands of the workers now."

"As a new political reality takes hold, how can credit unions make their voices heard?\n\nA new president took office in January, and the political climate in Washington, D.C., is markedly different than it was before. In the midst of this change, credit unions and their directors are thinking about what the shift will mean for regulations and other important issues. Those who already lobby politicians on behalf of credit unions may wonder whether they should shift gears from tactics used in the past. And CUs that have not historically practiced political advocacy may now want to throw their hats in the ring.\n\n“In some ways, I think [Trump’s administration] might be beneficial,” muses Scott Butterfield, a consultant at Your Credit Union Partner, based in the Seattle area.\n\n“In other ways, I’m concerned. For instance, what’s going to happen to immigration? More than one-third of U.S. credit unions have a low-income designation. Within that group, there is a rapidly growing number of credit unions that serve the Latino market. So on one hand, there are things to be hopeful for, and on the other hand, I don’t know how that’s going to play out.”\n\nA Time for Good Messaging\n\nButterfield believes it’s too soon to say definitively that the change in top federal government will be a net benefit for credit unions. Many people are hoping that it will be, he says—but more than anything, it’s an opportunity for credit unions to think about the message they take to lawmakers.\n\n“I think that the message of serving the working class helped push him over the top,” he says. “That’s what Trump ran on. So if we want to catch their ear, I don’t think it’s going to be about better service or better pricing. We need to get across the message that we work hard to serve the working class. I think it’s our biggest differentiator.\n\n“The banks can’t say that one-third of all banks are designated to serve low- to moderate-income customers; only credit unions can say that,” Butterfield adds.\n\nThat message, he says, can be used to advocate for such issues as regulatory relief and continued tax-exempt status. The script for talking with law- and policy-makers goes something like this: “If we have to devote extra resources to compliance, we won’t have the time, money or personnel to help our members.”\n\nEvery credit union has its own advocacy agenda. The question is, what can the board do to help get the message across? How can directors encourage the CU’s employees and members to engage in the political process?\n\nA simple strategy is for board members and staff to travel to state capitals and Washington, D.C. Directors at $2.4 billion STCU, based in the Spokane, Wash., area, have been doing this for years.\n\n“STCU board members have historically been eager to advocate for the value of credit unions to our members and to our communities,” says Vice Chair Dolores Humiston. The board of STCU belongs to the Center for Credit Union Board Excellence. “We have joined [credit union] staff in our state capital and in Washington, D.C., over the years and have participated with members in making sure our state representative and senators understand how our members make up a large stakeholder group. The board has joined others in our state as we’ve shared concerns about taxation of credit unions and excessive regulation, as well as advocating for expanding opportunities for member business lending.”\n\nIt was the Credit Union National Association’s Govern-mental Affairs Conference that lit the fire of credit union advocacy in STCU President/CEO Tom Johnson nearly a decade ago.\n\n“I’ve been around the credit union for 20-plus years, and the first 12 of those I was on the board,” recalls the CUES member. “Ten years ago, I came to work for the credit union. In my early days as an employee, I was invited by the then-CEO to join him in attending a Governmental Affairs Conference in Washington, D.C. I was very struck by the power that was present when you have five or six thousand credit union advocates all in one place at one time, and I realized what a significant event and opportunity that was for staff and volunteers to get engaged in advocacy at the federal level.\n\n“My boss always told me that the best thing is when they can call you by your first name, because they know you and they know you’re with a credit union,” Johnson says.\n\n“When they’ve got a question about an issue or a bill that they’re looking at, they know to come to you, and that’s the greatest compliment you can have in terms of being an advocate for the industry. That takes repeatedly being with them so that they get to know who you are—not just always being there with your tin cup out, but also being supportive when they need support, too, because they do. It’s attending their events and inviting them to participate in events that we might be doing, and being supportive.”\n\nBy and For the People\n\nIn the summer of 2012, several ATMs belonging to $1.1 billion Credit Union ONE, Ferndale, Mich., had skimming devices placed on them, resulting in losses of more than $90,000. The CU reimbursed its members and took the loss.\n\nIn the wake of the thefts, Stephen Dedene, VP/compliance and risk at the credit union, discovered there were no Michigan state laws against ATM skimming. He reached out to Michigan lawmakers and energized them, and in December 2013, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed a package of anti-skimming bills into law.\n\nThe incident made activists out of the Credit Union ONE board and staff. Dedene points out that it’s not just the organization’s leadership, either.\n\n“I think it’s important for all institutions that they find a way to engage, somehow, all of their employees from the top down,” he says. “Advocacy is not just at the executive level. It really takes an entire organization to effectively advocate.”\n\nThe credit union has implemented an internal advocacy program, enlisting employees to send letters to their lawmakers, creating an internal advocacy site for the staff to organize on, and encouraging political action committee fundraising for its state and federal political action committee. A software program—CapWiz from CQ Roll Call—allows the credit union to pre-generate letters on specific issues, then sends them out as templates for staff to use.\n\n“As issues come up and develop, we communicate that information to our employees,” Dedene says. “We make sure we explain how the issue that we’re talking about relates to their job and how it impacts the members.”\n\nThe newly minted Trump administration styles itself as a populist movement. It’s possible, then, that CUs’ people-helping-people populism may resonate with politicians at the state and federal level today. Credit union boards can help bring about favorable legislative change by mobilizing staff and employees for the good of the movement as a whole."

"Moments ago, news broke: the U.S. Supreme Court refused to continue construction on the Keystone XL pipeline, rejecting Trump’s bid to jump-start it.\n\nEarlier, a federal judge sided with the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes and ordered that the Dakota Access pipeline be shut down while a more extensive environmental review is done.\n\nOver the weekend, two utility companies also announced the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast pipeline due to costs and delays. This win is a result of local communities across West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina who organized and fought hard.\n\nThis is a critical moment to keep the momentum up to stop pipelines across the board. There’s no telling what dirty tricks the Trump administration will try next.\n\nWill you sign the Promise to Protect and commit to taking action with Indigenous peoples against Keystone XL if called upon?\n\nDespite massive global opposition, Energy Transfer Partners completed the Dakota Access pipeline in 2017. This year, the company behind Keystone XL, TC Energy (formerly known as TransCanada), began construction on the pipeline despite not having all the required state, local, and federal permits. The permits issued by the Trump administration are currently facing three federal lawsuits.\n\nWe helped stop Keystone XL before. We can stop a major pipeline again. Both Dakota Access and Keystone XL were stopped or put on hold by the Obama administration thanks to grassroots pressure, but Trump fast-tracked the projects within his first five days in office.1\n\nWe cannot back down. The Promise to Protect is led by a coalition of Indigenous leaders, rural communities, and national climate and environmental organizations, and has gained support from more than 48,000 people who’ve committed to travel to the Keystone XL route and participate in creative resistance to stop the pipeline if called upon.\n\nHundreds of people have already been trained, but we need more who are committed to stopping Keystone XL no matter what. Will you add your name to the Promise to Protect today?\n\nBig Oil’s business model has always been at odds with the fight for racial and economic justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and a safe climate. The Indigenous-led efforts to stop Keystone XL and Dakota Access have ushered in a powerful era of resistance, but we must keep going.\n\nWhen we fight, we win."

"Today, we tackle the Buffalo Bills, so let's see what they did in this year's NFL Draft!\n\nWho the Bills selected:\n\nThe Buffalo Bills have built their roster from the inside out and continued to fortify both the offensive and defensive lines in the 2021 NFL Draft, spending only one pick on a skill position player, Houston wide receiver Marquez Stevenson. Stevenson faces an uphill battle for fantasy-worthy snaps, however, as he's behind several players on the depth chart, but his blazing speed should play well in the return game. He's still raw as a receiver and has to refine his route tree, but that doesn't help anybody in fantasy. He's a taxi squad addition to your dynasty roster at best.\n\nStevenson can be ignored in seasonal formats as he has a remote chance to return value in 2021."

"The inaugural year of the Call of Duty League will kick off at The Armory in Minneapolis next week when the RØKKR will host all 12 teams. And now, fans can purchase the official replica jerseys in the CDL shop to represent their favorite franchises.\n\nLast night, popular Call of Duty Twitter account CDL Intel posted screengrabs that showcased the home and away jerseys for all 12 teams.\n\nEvery team will have a black away jersey and a white home jersey for their matches. Team logos can be seen on the left with a camo-like design running across the chest. The left sleeve will have one stripe in the team’s primary color.\n\nThe back of the jerseys will feature the team’s logo under the neck with the league logo placed above it. Every city will be displayed on the bottom seam.\n\nHere’s the description used for the jerseys, according to Dallas Empire’s page:\n\nOfficial replica jerseys purchased from the CDL shop will cost $74.99.\n\nWhile competing on the Call of Duty League stage, players will have the option to wear their team jersey or hoodie. Colors will be white for the home team and black for away. Player gear kits also include a bomber jacket to wear to and from events.\n\nThe CoD community feels cheated by the new jersey designs and many fans aren’t happy. Some have even gone as far as to call the new designs “lazy.”\n\nWith the CDL going into its first year of franchising and each spot costing at least $25 million, it’s understandable why Activision and team owners chose to go with a “safer” look."

"The towns on both the South and North Shores of Boston are some of the oldest settlements in the country, mostly founded in the 17th century. The centers of these towns preserve that original character and spatial arrangement, at the core of what have since become suburbs. The juxtapositions between old houses and modern strip development can be jarring, especially to someone from the West Coast, where everything has been built in a shorter time frame.\n\nWhen I lived in the Boston area I never got to explore the environs as much as I wanted, as I didn’t have a car, So staying with friends both in Scituate on the South Shore and Boxford near Ipswich on the North Shore was a great opportunity to see these places. What made it even better was that my friends are long-time residents of these areas, and showed me around to places and buildings I would never have known about. (Greta missed most of this as she was back in Eugene visiting Linda.)",
null,
"The South Shore has an intricately varied shoreline, with many small coves and larger harbors. The historic town cores are on the harbors, with later houses filling along the shore between them, and 20th century development spreading to the interior. Scituate has four “cliffs” that stick out into the bay (we have the northwesterner’s amusement for how topographical terms are used here) which have highly clustered houses on small lots by the water.",

What struck me the most was just how many beautiful old towns there are, so close to Boston. The summer resort venues of the Cape and the Islands tend to be better known, but these small towns in the Boston area are just as wonderful."

"The history of what-is-now Horia Hulubei National Institute for Research and Development in Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH) starts in Bucharest, on the 1st of September 1949. Horia Hulubei, former rector of the University of Bucharest during the World War 2 is rehabilitated by the communist regime and appointed to organise the Institute of Physics of the Romanian Academy. Along the years the institute moved to Magurele, changed its name several times but, most importantly, continued to evolve into what it is now: the largest research institute in Romania and one of the important scientific centres of Europe.\nHoria Hulubei\n\nHoria Hulubei (1896-1972) was one of the best known Romanian physicists before 1945. Like many other Romanian intellectuals he was profoundly connected to the French culture and scientific community. He earned his doctor's degree in 1933 in Paris under the supervision of the Nobel Prize winner Jean Perrin and having Marie Curie as the head of the doctoral commetee. Horia Hulubei become world famous for his outstanding results in various areas of physics, including the Raman effect, X rays, Compton scattering, atomic and nuclear physics. He was a directeur de la recherche at Perrin's laboratory.\nIn 1938 Horia Hulubei returned to Romania and pursued his scientific career. In 1941-1944 he was the rector of the University of Bucharest.\n\nIFA specialists designed their first electronic computer, a premiere in the Soviet bloc countries, in 1956. The logic designs for CIFA-1 started in 1953, at the Academy Physics Institute in Măgurele, with Victor Toma as the head of the project. It was presented at the International Symposium in Dresden in 1955, and the prototype, which used 1500 vacuum tubes, a cylindrical magnet memory and machine code programming, was finished in 1957. Its size was that of three wardrobes, it had a paper tape input and a typewriter output and was able of solving 50 instructions per second.\n\nA VVRS fission reactor and a U120 cyclotron, both of Soviet make, were put into service on the IFA site, at Măgurele.\n\nA new important achivement of the research institute from Măgurele: the first Romanian laser.\n\nThe first Romanian laser, a He-Ne infrared device developed by Professor Ion I. Agarbiceanu and his team, came on stream October 20, 1962. The achievement will be reported at the 3rd Quantum Electronic Congress that will be held in Paris in February 1963.\n\nIFA and IFB merged into ICEFIZ\n\nThe Central Institute of Physics (ICEFIZ) was created in 1973 as an umbrella institution incorporating IFA, IFB, and anything throughout the country that had to do with physical research and education, including a factory of nuclear devices and a heavy water facility.\n\nAn important wave of investments occurs in Măgurele in the seventies, with the commissioning of a new and modern facilities.\n\nIn 1974, a FN tandem accelerator (upgraded later to 9 MV) was brought in from HVEC of the U.S., and a radioisotope production centre, the result of a cooperation between local researchers and Britain's General Electric Co. and Nuclear Enterprises, was established. Also, a nuclear waste processing and storage centre from Fairey Engineering, U.K., was installed.\n\nICEFIZ was replaced in 1990 by an expanded IFA, which aside from IFIN included all of the Măgurele institutes: IFTM - materials physics and technology; IFTAR - physics and technology of radiation devices; IGSS - gravity and space sciences; IOEL - optoelectronics; and CFPS-earth physics and seismology. Other physical research institutes around the country, dealing with cryogenics and isotope separation (Ramnicu Vâlcea), technical physics (Iași), and isotope and molecular technology (Cluj), also became part of IFA.\nHowever, IFIN and several other institutes of physics were separately accredited as national institutes in 1996. On the occasion, IFIN was renamed as the Horia Hulubei National Institute of Research and Development in Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH).\n\nThe first major facility built at IFIN-HH after 1989 addresses specific needs of society: in 2000, a multipurpose high-dose, gamma-ray irradiator (IRASM) went into operation.\n\nThe research infrastructure of IFIN-HH has continuously developed in order to become a representative Romanian institute for the 21st century physics at European and international level, in fundamental and applied nuclear physics. In this regard, the \"Large Capacities Programme - Infrastructure Development for frontier research in Nuclear Physics and related fields\" provided IFIN-HH a standard which is similar to other important institutes worldwide, promoting competitive research in an international context.\n\nThe modern facilities commissioned at IFIN-HH include a 3-MV Tandetron dedicated to nuclear reaction and atomic physics studies, a 3-MV Tandetron for AMS, and a modern Research Centre for Pharmaceuticals.\n\nThe European project implemented by IFIN-HH, valued at almost 300 million euro, is cofinanced by the European Commission and the Romanian Government from Structural Funds. ELI-NP consists of two main pieces of research equipment: a laser system that will produce two 10PW beams, and a gamma beam system that will produce highly collimated, high intensity gamma radiation with tunable energy up to 20 MeV. Due to the unique combination of these instruments worldwide, ELI-NP will be able to tackle a wide range of research topics in fundamental physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics\nThe implementation began in 2012 and the High Power Laser became operational in 2020.",

"How to become an Emperor (in The Elder Scrolls Online)\n\n06 January 2014 | By Nick Horth\nLucky players in The Elder Scrolls Online can reach the giddy heights of Emperor of Cyrodiil. It's not easy though, as the developers explained in an interview with OXM.\n\nElder Scrolls Online is launching on April 4, and allows players to join one of three factions battling for control of Tamriel.\n\nHere's the game's PvP in action. Best part? The guy twirling a one-handed crossbow like some kind of Middle-Earth James Bond.\n\nAcquire enough points from winning PvP matches, capturing keeps and gathering experience and you might be able to seize the crown for yourself. All the aforementioned actions count towards your personal Alliance Points total, and when your faction captures enough strategic points on the map, the highest ranking player is crowned Emperor. Thus begins the joyful abuse of power.\n\n\"Players who become Emperor will get a full skill line that they keep throughout the rest of their lives in The Elder Scrolls Online,\" said game director Paul Sage. \"It won't be easy to become Emperor, but we think people will be glad they worked for it.\"",

"They say your school days are the best days of your life, right? Well, spoiler alert, mine weren’t.\n\nPrimary school was fine. Save being robbed of the role as the donkey in the school nativity play and an unfortunate experience with the class gerbil biting through my thumb, I got through primary school just fine.\n\nThe problems came when my parents decided to send me to a convent. The only trouble with this plan was that, up until that point, they had failed to even introduce me to God. But fast-track Catholicism was duly arranged and I had a first holy communion and a confirmation within a matter of weeks. I also remember reciting Hail Mary over and over again with my dad as we walked the dog, which earned us some very strange looks from other people on Clapham Common. I think these sessions were about me learning the lines, although it could also have been my dad’s way of offering up some last-minute prayers.\n\nThe convent was a boarding school and, as the start of term drew closer, I got more and more nervous about being away from home. I tried to imagine lots of Mallory Towers style fun: midnight feasts, pillow fights, friendships for life.\n\nBut as soon as I arrived at St Juliana’s, I realised that the reception from the other girls was even chillier than the dormitories (which is saying something – we’re talking ice inside the windows). They had all been together since they were five, were all ‘proper’ Catholics and all country girls. How could they relate to this creature that had been dropped in their midst? A person who’d never sat on a horse, didn’t own a pair of wellies and had – horror of all horrors — shop-bought jam?\n\nThe nuns, for the most part, weren’t much friendlier and seemed perplexed by why I didn’t seem entirely thrilled when they constantly told me they were ‘praying for the souls of my parents’ because they were divorced.\n\nOne nun, Sister Clare, seemed to take a particularly visceral dislike to me after discovering me crying because I was homesick. There were children in the world who didn’t have enough to eat, she reminded me. I still think this was something of a non-sequitur.\n\nAfter a while, I did begin to settle in and make friends. I even attempted horse-riding, an entirely unedifying experience which resulted in me clinging on to the mane of a horse called Blossom as she took off as if she was racing to the finish line of the Grand National. It wasn’t long before I was hurled unceremoniously to the ground. None of this would have been quite so embarrassing if Blossom hadn’t been a Shetland Pony. Yeah, one of those little ones that look so cute.\n\nThe nuns became friendlier too for the most part, although I think it’s fair to say I never quite understood their psyche. Did they really think it was necessary to ban tampons in case we used them to ‘pleasure ourselves’ (yeah, good luck with that)? Were they really concerned we might develop a crush on a priest (average age circa 78)? And why on earth did they insist on praying for the souls of my parents when I was pretty sure there were worse souls in the world?\n\nBut one person who never warmed up was Sister Claire. Sister Claire was on a mission to stop any of the girls in her care from getting ‘big-headed’ (because everyone who knows about teenagers will tell you that too much confidence is exactly what you need to worry about). And she took a special interest in me, telling me frequently that just because I was ‘quite clever’ I’d never ‘amount to much.’ When I admitted that I wanted to be a writer, she was horrified. ‘That’s not even a job.’\n\nWhich is where this story turns. Because call me perverse but, in my experience, there’s nothing like someone telling me I can’t do something to really make me want to do it!\n\nAnd this year I have had two novels published by Harper Collins. The first, The Neighbours, came out in February, and the second, We Are Family, in September. Sister Claire isn’t in the acknowledgements … but maybe she should be?",

"We recently reported that Samsung might change the nomenclature of the Galaxy S series. Samsung insider Ice Universe tweeted that Samsung is Galaxy S11 might actually be called Galaxy S20, in order to signify the release of their fresh flagship smartphone series in 2020.\n\nNow, a case manufacturer has provided further evidence of the rumoured name change. Samsung had reportedly informed its suppliers and accessories partners that a new naming scheme will be used in the next generation of the Galaxy S series.\n\nAs previously speculated, this shows that that the smaller “e” range of devices will be discontinued, and the smallest device will be the standard S20 with a 6.2″ diagonal screen- meaning no compact devices under 6″ will be sold in this range.\n\nSamsung is expected to launch the S20 series in the first or second week of February 2020.",
