"So how much do you know about the keto diet? I can honestly say that I know almost nothing about the lifestyle, except from what I can gather from the name. Which basically means you put your body into ketosis... I also understand that in the keto diet, this is basically done via (mostly or completely) cutting out carbs. So, yeah, I don't know much. But my friend, Carolyn, is an expert. In fact, she has a blog and a cookbook focused on the keto diet.",

"I wasn't sure how I would feel about making the white chocolate raspberry cups because I wasn't familiar with using some of the ingredients such as the cacao butter - which by the way is what makes white chocolate true white chocolate. The stuff without it isn't real white chocolate. It's an expensive ingredient and I've never used it in this form before. I was also unfamiliar with erythritol sweetener, but instead, I did opt for another type of similar sweetener I already had on hand so as to not spend too much money on an ingredient I wasn't sure I'd use up. It did have some erythritol in it. Regardless, I was excited to learn about an entirely different way of making food and treats.",
null,
"I also wanted lots of raspberry, so I ended up crumbling more freeze dried raspberry and sprinkling it on top of the white chocolate raspberry cups. There isn't as much of a clear distinction between the layers than if you did not add the extra raspberry to the top. If you want less raspberry or more split between the layers, follow the directions as-is. Either way, these are incredible. I ended up making 10 batches in a week because I had requests from so many people in my family for them. It made me wish I did go with the original sweetener because I definitely would've made a dent in the bag!",

"You are here: Home / Meet the Collectors / C-Day – changeover day for decimal currency\n\n50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INTRODUCTION OF DECIMAL CURRENCY THIS WEEKEND, 14 FEBRUARY 2016. Thanks to member Andrew H for sharing a wonderful subset of his collection.\n\nOn the 14th of February 1966, Australia introduced decimal notes and coins, marking the end of its British-style currency system based on pounds, shillings and pence. The Australian Decimal Currency Select Committee deliberated from 1901 to 1904 and recommended decimalisation based on a sovereign consisting of 10 florins. Despite powerful proponents, it was decided that the move would put Australia at odds with Britain.\n\nIn 1959 the Decimal Currency Committee reported decisively in favour of change and the attitude of Government changed. In 1963 it was decided that Australia’s decimal currency should be based on a 10 shilling/100 cent system and that the major unit would be called the Royal. This was at odds with a public naming competition whose suggestions included: the Emu, Koala, Digger, Oz, Boomer, Roo, Kanga, Kwid and Dinkum. Treasurer Harold Holt explained that the Royal emphasised Australia’s link with the Crown. But the public wasn’t persuaded, and three months later the Government adopt the name of the Dollar.\n\nIn the lead up to the introduction of decimal currency there was a concerted program to educate the public. This included the famous ‘Dollar Bill’ campaign.\n\nIt would be interesting to hear today’s marketeers’ opinion about the campaign. On 8 December 1964, Canberra Times ran a story about it:\n\nThe Decimal Currency Board has announced the creation of a cartoon character, Dollar Bill, to assist its public education campaign. Announcing this yesterday, the chairman of the board, Mr. Walter Scott, said Dollar Bill had been developed by an advisory panel of media experts in co-operation with the board’s public relations division.\n\nThe board considered an image-figure who could explain the changeover to decimal currency in simple and attractive form would be of considerable value in public education.\n\nIt had asked the panel to look for a character who would carry the stamp of authority, have general appeal to all sections of the community, and be able to appear in a wide variety of public education projects.\n\n“Dollar Bill will appear as a cheerful little personality, completely versed in the subject of decimal currency with ability to explain its many facets in the simplest of terms” Mr. Scott said.\n\nMr. Scott said the board’s public relations division was well advanced with plans for using Dollar Bill in these educational projects: Animated and semi-animated cartoon form for brief film and television appearances. Comic strips that would explain decimal currency and factors involved in the two-currency period. Decimal currency crosswords and puzzles that “Would help the public in mental conversion of £.s.d. amounts and other aspects of the change over. Brochures and posters for use in the school education programme and for general display use. Editorial columns directed ‘at such special sections of the community as retail and other businesses, women, children, and country people.\n\nAccording to the Reserve Bank Museum:\n\nCentral to the publicity campaign was an innovative television commercial featuring the animated character called Dollar Bill. Created by biography of Monty Wedd and drawn for the commercial by animator Laurie Sharpe, Dollar Bill and his catchy decimal currency conversion jingle (sung to the tune of the Australian folksong ‘Click Go the Shears’, with lyrics by Obituary for Ted Roberts) was an instant hit.\n\nAs well as appearing in television and radio commercials, Dollar Bill sent letters to schools across the country (via the Decimal Currency Board) outlining his background and recent history. As Dollar Bill explains in one of his letters, his family traces its origins to Bohemia, part of the present-day Czech Republic, where the dollar or ‘thaler’ originated in the 16th century. Nomads from way back, the decimals had set up house in most countries of the world during the past 200 years and Dollar Bill was in Australia now to do just that.\n\nThe decision to decimalise the currency provided a perfect opportunity to design a completely new series of coins featuring Australian motifs. A limited competition was held among six designers, including Geelong-born sculptor and goldsmith Stuart Devlin, whose images of native fauna famously won the design competition.\n\nThe Perth Mint played an important part in preparations for the introduction of decimal coinage, striking nearly 105 million 1 cent and 2 cent pieces in 1965. By 1983, it had manufactured a staggering 829 million 2c coins and 26 million 1c coins. But it looks like the production demands also led to the construction of a new mint in Canberra.",

"We are here to help\n\nThere were a variety of devices made available to the general public to make the transition. Prior to February advertising of for example this Myer catalogue had prices in both old and new currency.\n\nThe Government and businesses provided information and ‘converters’.\n\nBest way to end? What about a verse or two of the song?\n\nIn come the dollars and in come the cents\nto replace the pounds and the shillings and the pence.\nBe prepared folks when the coins begin to mix\non the 14th of February 1966.\n\nClink go the cents folks\nclink, clink, clink.

"Fronted by the Reid brothers Jim and William, The Jesus And Mary Chain first reformed to play the Coachella festival back in 2007. Despite regular touring – most notably a 2015 world tour which revisited their landmark album Psychocandy – it took some time before they could agree on a plan to record a much-mooted seventh album.\n\nThe album commences with Amputation, in which waves of distorted guitar and Jim’s insouciant vocal delivery collide to create a hypnotic track which addresses his feelings of “being edited out of the whole music business… I felt like a rock ‘n’ roll amputation.”"

"NBA YoungBoy was released from prison last October after posting a $500,000 cash bond. As part of his release conditions, the platinum-selling rapper was placed on house arrest, forced to wear an ankle monitor, forbidden to leave the house and barred from consuming drugs or possessing firearms. He was also required to stay in home confinement in Utah until his trial date.\n\nNow, a Texas home reportedly owned by NBA YoungBoy was the target of a SWAT raid on Tuesday (January 25) that resulted in three arrests and the seizure of multiple weapons.\n\nIn a statement to TMZ, Harris Co. Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Thomas Gilliland explained several SWAT officers served a warrant at the property where his mother Sherhonda Gaulden currently lives. NBA YoungBoy is still on home confinement in Utah in connection to his federal firearms case and wasn’t at the home. It’s unclear if Gaulden was there when police arrived.\n\nGilliland said the arrests are related a November 2021 shooting in which a man was shot multiple times in the body and head but survived. Police discovered AR-15s, pistols and long gun at the home and promptly retrieved them.\n\nThe three men arrested — Daryl Brown, Roymellow Williams and Carleon Gallien — were confirmed to be associates of NBA YoungBoy. Charges include aggravated robbery and aggravated assault. The SWAT raid at YoungBoy’s home comes days after the release of his latest mixtape Colors, which contains a diss toward the late King Von and purported jab at NLE Choppa."

"We often get to see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan's daughter Aaradhya's creative streak, courtesy her mother's Instagram profile, who often shares pictures of the little one along with her work of art. The reason we brought this up today is because Aishwarya Rai Bachchan posted a picture of her 8-year-old daughter along with a special Teachers' Day greeting that she prepared. A happy Aaradhya can be seen posing with the card that she prepared for her teachers. Sharing the picture, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan added a few emojis to her post. Designer Falguni Peacock commented on the post: \"So sweet. I remember making cards in school....So precious.\"\n\nA post shared by AishwaryaRaiBachchan (@aishwaryaraibachchan_arb) on Sep 6, 2020 at 11:07am PDT\n\nAfter being discharged from Mumbai's Nanavati Hospital, where she was being treated for COVID-19, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared a thank you note for her fans and well-wishers on her Instagram profile in July. \"Thank you so much for all your prayers, concern, wishes and love for my darling angel, and for Pa, AB and me,\" read an excerpt from her post.\n\nHANK YOU SO SO MUCH for ALL your Prayers , Concern, Wishes and Love for my darling Angel Aaradhya and for Pa, Ab ...and meRULY OVERWHELMED and forever indebted...GOD BLESS YOU ALL LL MY LOVE ALWAYS and Prayers for the well-being of you ALL and all yours...

Be Well and Be Safe GOD BLESS VE YOU All too\n\nA post shared by AishwaryaRaiBachchan (@aishwaryaraibachchan_arb) on Jul 28, 2020 at 12:23pm PDT\n\nEarlier this year, Aaradhya made a special drawing as a tribute to healthcare professionals and essential service providers. Aaradhya also included Abhishek, Aishwarya and herself in the painting. See the post here:\n\nA post shared by AishwaryaRaiBachchan (@aishwaryaraibachchan_arb) on May 3, 2020 at 11:39am PDT\n\nIn terms of work, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in the 2018 musical Fanney Khan, co-starring Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, which was a box office debacle. She also dubbed for the Hindi version of Disney's Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, last year. She will next be seen in Gulab Jamun, co-starring her actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan. The film will be produced by Anurag Kashyap.\n\nThe actress has also signed a film with Mani Ratnam, which is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's popular historical novel (The Son of Ponni). During an interview with news agency PTI, the actress confirmed the project and said, \"Right now, I will be working with Mani Ratnam because I want to work him. It is a simple earnest reason to do the film and that's how I have worked over the years.\""

"The new phone from Russia’s search giant has a 5.65″ display and is powered by Google’s Android.\n\nIf you lived in Russia you’d likely find many things different than here in the United States. One of those things is the search engine they use. While a good majority of the United States uses Google, Russians use their own Yandex search engine. Yandex has been doing business for some time now and like Google in the U.S., they’re itching to get their business into every palm in Russia. This is why the all-new Yandex phone will be launched tomorrow at a cost of 17,990 rubles, which translates to around $270USD.\n\nThe new phone from Russia’s search giant has a 5.65″ display and is powered by Google’s Android. It is running a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor alongside 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage which can be expanded via MicroSD card. There both a 16-megapixel and 5-megapixel dual back camera. This phone isn’t going to showcase Google apps such as Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Assistant. Yandex will be pushing their own apps including their own virtual assistant dubbed “Alice.” But Google apps are still bundled in, so users do have the option.\n\nAccording to , while this is the company’s first smartphone, it is not the first piece of hardware they’ve made. The company also released a smart speaker with Alice functionality earlier this year which costs $160USD.\n\nThe launch comes nearly three years after Yandex emerged victorious in an anti-competition case against Google in Russia. Lawmakers found that Google had abused its dominant market position, hindering the ability of other companies to create competing services on Android by forcing manufacturers to bundle Google apps — such as Gmail, Google Search, and Google Play — on Android phones.\n\nAs a result of the ruling, Google was not permitted to restrict the preinstallation of competing apps, including search engines. Google was also required to offer a “choice window” for its mobile Chrome browser, asking the user at launch what default search engine they wanted. In the year or so since this change has taken effect, Yandex has reportedly overtaken Google in terms of search market share on Android.\n\nWhat do you think of the Yandex phone? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+, Twitter, or Facebook."

"Armando L. Sanchez is a 25-year-old freelance photographer who was born and raised in Austin, Tex., and is now based in Chicago. He studied photography at Western Kentucky University and received a B.A in interdisciplinary studies last year. He has had four — yes, count them, four — newspaper internships: at The Tennessean in Nashville, The Saginaw News in Michigan, The State Journal-Register in Springfield, Ill., and most recently at The Chicago Tribune.\n\nHis phone conversation with James Estrin has been edited.\n\nTell me about the photograph that you chose. What’s going on?\n\nWhy was it a turning point for you? What’s the importance of the image?\n\nWell, before I took this I had three newspaper internships. And I had really focused heavily on photojournalism. I love photojournalism, I have a passion for it, that’s what I want to do, but that’s the only photography I had ever looked at. That spring, I started to look at the history of photography and I started studying it as an art form.\n\nThis photo was the first time that I didn’t feel obligated to make a certain picture that an editor wanted. I just looked for the most beautiful image that was out there. I tried to make something for me.\n\nYou felt a freedom to make your own image?\n\nBefore that I’d always thought of photography as a very literal thing, very documentary. You go to a scene and you honestly document what you see and how you see it. And you bring it back and it matches the assignment and it matches what the writer writes, and that’s what I saw as my place in the world.\n\nHow did this photograph change the way you photographed?\n\nWhen I took this photo, I realized that I can do both at the same time. I can wait and compose and think and let the moment come to me instead of chasing it constantly.\n\nAfter that, I thought very hard before I photographed something. What is going to be the opportunity here, what can potentially be the moment? It changed from running and chasing things to waiting and thinking about what the photograph is or what it could be.",

"Why did you choose the László Moholy-Nagy image as your influence?\n\nWe looked at Dada and Bauhaus. These were people that were trying to literally tell a story, and they were expressing what they saw.\n\nThis photo, I thought, was so beautiful because it was just so simple. It was just these lines and these people walking towards this bright light. It was on New Year’s Day and has a feeling of rebirth — of a new kind of optimism.\n\nAnd did this image affect your photography?\n\nI put it in my room. It always reminds me to look beyond the literal.\n\nNow, before I photograph something, I think very hard about how I feel about it. What do I think is relevant, what do I feel is worth conveying. I think very hard about the light and the background and the composition and what the people are doing with their hand movements — do they look away from each other or do they look at each other constantly?"

null,
"“The Stone Of Hope” memorial by master sculptor Lei Yixin was opened to the public in West Potomac Park, Washington DC, on August 22, 2011.\n\nMartin Luther King Day is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of January. It is seen as a day to promote equal rights for all Americans, regardless of their background. It celebrates the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an influential American civil rights leader. He is most well-known for his campaigns to end racial segregation on public transport and for racial equality in the United States.\n\nDr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an important civil rights activist. He was a leader in the movement to end racial segregation in the United States. His most famous address was the “I Have A Dream” speech. He was an advocate of non-violent protest and became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He was assassinated in 1968.\n\nIn 1968, shortly after Martin Luther King died, a campaign was started for his birthday to become a holiday to honor him. After the first bill was introduced, trade unions lead the campaign for the federal holiday. It was endorsed in 1976. Following support from the musician Stevie Wonder with his single “Happy Birthday” and a petition with six million signatures, the bill became law in 1983. Martin Luther King Day was first observed in 1986, although it was not observed in all states until the year 2000. In 1990, the Wyoming legislature designated Martin Luther King Jr/Wyoming Equality Day as a legal holiday.\n\nNon-essential Government departments are closed, as are many corporations. Some schools and colleges close but others stay open and teach their students about the life and work of Martin Luther King. Small companies, such as grocery stores and restaurants tend to be open, although a growing number are choosing to close on this day. Recent federal legislation encourages Americans to give some of their time on Martin Luther King Day as volunteers in citizen action groups. Public transit systems may or may not operate on their regular schedule.\n\n139 thoughts on “This Monday We Celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States”"

"Originally recorded a decade ago, these quiet, sometimes spoken-word sketches are full of the complicated wisdom that only comes with time.\n\nIn the hushed monologues that fill Wayne Phoenix’s debut album, the pianist, composer, and producer describes his stormy inner life with halting half-thoughts. He “doesn’t know what it means to be secure.” He’s “been living without the earth beneath [him].” He rejects the grandiosity of romantic love; he mulls the nature of loneliness. He doesn’t expand much on the circumstances that inspired these ruminations—nor has he publicly offered much biographical information about himself—which lends the record a ghostly quality. It’s a bit like finding an old photo album with most of its pages torn out. Phoenix trusts you to fill in the empty spaces.\n\nsoaring wayne phoenix story the earth is mostly muted and forlorn. Phoenix intones gravely at the start of the opening track “Mood” that he’s “singing the story of my life so far,” accompanied by washes of white noise, lapping electronics, and a vocal sample stretched and warped into an inhuman wail. Occasionally, he evokes the rain-slicked desperation of Leyland Kirby, and some of the synth work feels as cold and gleaming as those of his compatriots on Rabit’s Halcyon Veil label. But the way Phoenix treats his samples and sounds, swaddling them in blankets of hiss or warping them into unrecognizable forms, makes them feel personal and unique.\n\nOnly three of the record’s nine tracks are longer than two minutes, which lends the record a flickering, quicksilver energy, as if Phoenix’s mind is working too quickly to stick to a single thought. You can hear this restlessness in his vocal passages, the way he gives up on sentences halfway through, grasping for the right ideas, then undercutting himself by fading the volume in moments where it seems like words might fail him. This energy is what separates soaring wayne phoenix from ambient music; for as much meditating as Phoenix does on this record, he rarely sits still.\n\nThis approach allows Phoenix to try out more emotions than the overwhelming sadness of these compositions might suggest. While his spoken-word pieces often mirror the music, he also strikes notes of peace and hope. “Burn False Messages” opens with the assertion that he doesn’t “want to be anyone’s beloved,” but it closes with a reflection on the necessity of interdependence and the endurance of the human spirit. “Alone,” surprisingly, considers the happiness and sense of ease one can find in isolation.\n\nAccording to an account provided to Boomkat, this music spent 10 years “filed away in a drawer.” Whether this was meant literally or not, there’s something poetic about these pieces sitting forgotten for so long. They are full of the complicated wisdom that only reveals itself with time. It’s the sound of a person slowly figuring the world out for themselves."

"As battery-powered doorbells go, the eufy battery-powered doorbell is a sleek 2.1 inches wide, 1.1 inches deep, and 5.5 inches tall. It comes with a mounting bracket, a 15º mounting wedge, a eufy Home Base, a power cord, an ethernet cable, a micro-USB charging cable, and all the screws and anchors needed to get it installed. My brother-in-law is a bit apprehensive when it comes to setting up internet-based home technology, as these seemingly simple tasks usually end up taking over his entire weekend. But it appears that eufy has solved this gloriously.\n\nThe installation instructions are very simple and the doorbell arrived with its battery 80% full. Setting everything up took roughly ten minutes. To start, he powered up the Home Base and then connected it to the router via the included ethernet cable. He downloaded the eufy Security app from the App Store and created a user account. Then, he followed the simple on-screen instructions for adding the Home Base. The app had him scan the QR code underneath the Home Base, and then took care of the rest. Once the connection was established, adding the video doorbell was equally easy. He clicked the button “add a device” and then chose the doorbell option. The app prompted him to hit the ‘sync’ button on the rear of the doorbell and within a minute or two, the app located and connected the doorbell. Eufy nailed it. He was blown away with how easy it was to set up and install.",

"The Home Base provides the ‘chime’ for the wireless doorbell and, in turn, presented him with his next challenge. He wanted to have the Home Base connect to his home network wirelessly instead of via the ethernet cable as his router’s location is not desirable for a doorbell chime. Changing the Home Base’s connection was a piece of cake! All you have to do is open the app on your phone, select “My Devices” from the menu, select the “Eufy Home Base”, click on “Connection” and change “ethernet” to “Wi-Fi”. Once you select your home’s network, enter your password and you are all set! The manual says to make sure the battery is fully charged before mounting, so he charged the battery by plugging it to the Home Base via the included micro-USB cord. The manual states that a full charge takes 6 hours to complete, which isn’t a bad bargain for six-months of run time.",
null,
"Using the video doorbell has been equally as easy as setting it up. You receive an alert on your phone a second or two after motion is detected or if someone presses the doorbell. The video quality is better than he expected. At 2K, you can zoom in and see quite a bit of detail. The app also provides an icon of the person detected by the doorbell. The video clips are stored on the Home Base’s 16GB of SD internal storage and are accessed easily via the app. Saving and sharing clips is as easy as sharing any photo or video from your phone’s Camera Roll. The app is very intuitive and a breeze to use. You can easily select a single clip or multiple clips from a single day to delete or erase all stored clips by reformatting the SD card via the mobile app.",
null,
"My brother-in-law’s only complaint is that he’d like the ability to make the chime louder on the Home Base. It isn’t as loud as his previous wireless doorbell, but the fact that it also alerts him via phone, it should suffice. Eufy provides jumpers for you to connect your wireless doorbell to any pre-existing doorbell wires/chimes, but he could not test that out as he didn’t have existing wiring.",
null,
null,
"Overall, he loves the doorbell. It fits perfectly on his door frame, which up to now, makes it the only battery-powered doorbell that does! It has tremendous video quality during the day and at night. The sound is clear and the intercom feature through the app is a nice feature he didn’t know he needed! Set up was effortless and the whole package is available at an affordable price without any ongoing monthly fees. We definitely recommend this product at an affordable $199.99 price tag.\n\nYou can get your eufy battery-powered video doorbell for $199.99 from eufylife.com.\n\nWhat I Like: Easy to install and setup; Small size; Battery-powered and lasts 6 months on a single charge; Great video and audio quality; Nice app\n\nWhat Needs Improvement: The ability to make the chime louder would help"

"PARIS — Keeping your salary while caring for a quarantined child. Exercising the right to not work if you are afraid of getting ill. Sick-leave pay for up to six months.\n\nEurope is sometimes considered a home of overly generous social policies. But as countries around the world scramble to control the deadly coronavirus outbreak, some analysts say those social programs and protective labor rules could serve as a powerful vaccine against the virus’s feared economic toll: recession.\n\nEurope’s universal health care systems, for example, help bolster the economy by supporting consumer spending in the midst of a serious outbreak, because people aren’t worried about getting a big bill if they get sick.\n\n“I would be more concerned in the U.S. what the cost would be,” said Ángel Talavera, an economist at Oxford Economics in London. “For Europeans, that is not a consideration we have in mind.”\n\nPolitical leaders and central bankers have been full of assurances in recent days that they will do what it takes to blunt the impact and avoid a recession. An emergency cut in interest rates on Tuesday by the Federal Reserve sought to contain the fallout, but when or how much it would help was unclear.\n\nBut more than rate cuts or bursts of spending, economists say, the best short-term measures to prevent an economic downturn may be “automatic stabilizers” — existing programs or regulations that protect workers, provide low-cost health care or help companies get through a lean period. Some of these measures were adopted during another time of financial stress: the 2008 financial crisis.\n\nAssurances that many workers won’t have to choose between caring for their health and paying their rent is a crucial psychological factor as Italy and France shut hundreds of schools, Britain unlocks an “action plan” to prevent the virus’s spread and businesses across the Continent cancel trips and meetings to limit their employees’ exposure to the epidemic.\n\nCertainly, the benefits vary from country to country. And while Uber drivers, entrepreneurs and the self-employed in many European countries have access to health care at lower costs than in the United States, they still don’t get the same level of wage protection as salaried employees.\n\nItaly announced Thursday that it would unleash a 7.5 billion euro (about $8.5 billion) support package to help businesses and families hit by the coronavirus, on top of €900 million in support announced last week.\n\nThe governments of most European countries are offsetting the cost of emergency sick leave for employers and aiding smaller companies that are scrambling to survive.\n\nMost European governments require businesses to grant employees some form of paid sick leave. Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands are among the countries where workers have a right to receive full pay, in some cases for at least six weeks, if they are ill, are quarantined or are told to stay home by their employers.\n\nIn France, employees can also exercise what is known as “the right of withdrawal” from work by walking off the job if they believe their health and safety are at risk, without having wages docked or facing punishment.\n\nEmployees and their union at the Louvre Museum in Paris voted to stop working earlier this week, citing fears the virus could be spread by visitors. Management contested the move but couldn’t override it, keeping the world’s most visited museum closed for three days. Workers returned Wednesday after officials announced enhanced health security measures.\n\nThe virus’s economic costs are already tangible in Europe. For example, cancellation of the Geneva International Motor Show, which had been scheduled to open to the public on Thursday, deprives the European auto industry of one of its premier showcases and means the millions they spent on elaborate displays went to waste.\n\nSome governments are moving more aggressively than others to offset the financial strain, especially for the small and medium-size firms that make up the bulk of economic activity in Europe, by providing tax breaks, extending deadlines for tax payments and easing access to government finance schemes.\n\nIn Italy, the epicenter of Europe’s coronavirus epidemic, the government promised to deploy measures it has used after earthquakes for 11 quarantined towns around northern Lombardy and Veneto, the so-called red zone of the outbreak, where some businesses are losing 100 percent of their income.\n\nAmong other support, the companies can get immediate access to unemployment benefits for furloughed workers and will be allowed to pay their taxes late, helping to mitigate a collapse in sales and production.\n\nOthers are holding back until the signs of economic damage are more clear. In Spain, officials said it was too early to take financial measures, with so much of the economic impact of the coronavirus in question. Germany’s finance minister, Olaf Scholz, promised this week that the government would take action if the outbreak hit the country’s already hard-pressed economy, but did not offer any specific proposals. There remains a deep reluctance in Germany to take on debt to pay for fiscal stimulus.\n\nYet countries where the spread of the epidemic shows no signs of slowing are pulling out the stops. France escalated its response this week as the coronavirus threat rippled through schools, rushing through new emergency measures allowing parents who can’t find child care to receive full pay while staying home with children who must be quarantined.\n\nAnd in Denmark, the authorities said parents could take up to 52 weeks’ leave to care for a seriously ill child under age 18.\n\nEmployers in Britain were already required to grant time off if a relative or child fell ill under short notice. Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced this week that the country’s mandatory sick-pay system would begin payments on the first day for people with suspected coronavirus, rather than the fourth day as for other illnesses. Critics pointed out that two million low-paid workers — those who earn less than 118 pounds weekly, or about $153 — did not make enough money to qualify for the help under Mr. Johnson’s plan.\n\nThe concerns highlight the uneven nature of such guarantees.\n\nIn Italy’s quarantined red zone of Veneto, Taylan Arslan, 33, was forced to postpone the opening of a kebab-making plant after the government imposed a ban on all nonessential economic activity, leaving his 57 employees unable to go to work. Under the government’s emergency support plan, Mr. Arslan will be able to get access to unemployment benefits for his workers more easily and quickly.\n\nMr. Arslan would also get €500 in support. But the money would not be nearly enough to recoup the lost earnings for his business, even with the proffered tax breaks, he said. He estimated that he had lost €12,000, or about $13,500, per day.\n\nThe government “can keep their €500 a month,” he said, worrying about the tons of meat spoiling in his freezers. “I need to work.”\n\nBut Italy can go only so far. Government debt far exceeds annual output of the economy, and Rome cannot afford to lose the confidence of bond investors.\n\n“In the short term, the government can help,” said Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics in White Plains, N.Y. “But the government can’t support people forever. At the end of the day, somebody has to pay for this.”"

"When you need something to draw, you can always try punching a pillow. It worked for Durer. He punched a pillow and drew it. Punched it again and drew that. They made charming drapery studies.\n\nIf you compare the still lifes of Cezanne with their heaped up folds to his landscapes of Mont Sainte Victoire it soon becomes obvious that the two have much in common. Cezanne’s still lifes and his pictures of the mountain are versions of the same idea.\n\nSometimes I go on a drapery spree and make oodles of drawings of drapery. Drapery turns out to be very expressive. It’s filled with moods — like clouds. No psychological depths exist that cannot be summed up in some manner by folded textile.\n\nEven now revisiting my drawings made after Picasso’s Corina Romeu, I have to admit how much her hair is like this drapery study above. And it is not just a consequence of my personality and my drawing. It was in Picasso’s version too. He was just as much swayed by the effects of gravity upon cloth in shaping ideas of dimension and form.\n\nIt all started with the Greeks. They really were onto something.",

It’s certainly fun for me finding it and being able to demonstrate someone else’s use of copies. You discover how fully inventive Lamb’s copy after Ingres is by comparing it with its original. Mrs. Hayard has had a good make-over, as a consequence becoming a thoroughly modern Millie.\n\n[Top of the post: Copy at Ingres’s Madame Charles Hayard, by Kristin Lamb]",

"I’ve been pouring through notebooks looking for drawings to post. This is a self-portrait from a few years ago. However, I don’t look like this. I don’t think I looked like this then either. Perhaps on a really bad day, I bear some resemblance to this if I am having a serious state of the blahs. Even now, in the grip of my cold, I look much better. It matters not.\n\nIndeed, I post this as an example of the virtues of self-portraiture, benefits that transcend likeness. You can use yourself to try out ideas, to make emotional statements — or just to model funny hats — it worked for Rembrandt (though I prefer to use squirrels for that). The drawing doesn’t have to look like you to be a provocative drawing. It just has to be what it is. And it communicates what it will.\n\nWhat I like about this drawing, though (and what I hope it reveals about me) is its economy of line. That constitutes (I hope) my “portrait” in it. Like the line that describes the top of my head — that’s got some punch. It’s bold drawing. (One wants to be bold.)\n\n[Top of the post: Self-portrait in the pose of Melancholia, by Aletha Kuschan]",

"It’s like writing a “to do” list for yourself. It’s like quick catching a first impression. It’s a form of play. You create your own coloring book drawing, rapid-fire lines that you fill with color — or that you leave empty — it doesn’t matter.\n\nIt’s really not a big deal. That’s a kind of drawing, too. I drew this tea pot as casually as I would drink the tea.\n\n[Top of the post: Tea pot and Cup, by Aletha Kuschan, pencil and watercolor]\n\nWhen I was working on one of the commissioned pictures I alluded to earlier, I made numerous studies of individual parts; and in the process of drawing and redrawing the face of one of the figures I was painting, I began more and more to identify with her. She became for me like a character in a story. As a novelist learns to watch the people in her fictional world, I began to “watch” this woman I was drawing, and I tried to figure her out. Or, like an actress learning a part, I tried to learn who she was merely by prolonged peering into her face.\n\nI had a group of photographs to work from, and one photo was the pivotal one. I redrew this photo several times. And each drawing was a little different from the others. Sometimes artists worry about the differences between what they are seeing and what they produce in their drawing. But I liked and sought subtle differences from the photo.\n\nThe photographic image never changed, but my drawings did. Even though they captured the general likeness of the photo, the act of drawing brought out various little bits of expression and emotion and thought. For me, it animated her photograph. I felt like I had drawn the woman herself — from life — rather than having just copied something static. Looking at this, I don’t think anyone could tell she wasn’t there in front of me though she had died a decade earlier.\n\n[Top of the post: Study for a Portrait, by Aletha Kuschan, pencil drawing]",

Regarding these drawings, I don’t post them as exemplary of good drawing, but as instances of everyday ideas being tried like scales and riffs on an instrument. They were casually and quickly made. And they, too, offered me freedom.\n\nI was painting a commission, the kind of thing that pays bills.

I found freedom in the drawing that wasn’t available in the commission (for fairly obvious reasons).\n\nI think the shadow served to give me some ground to stand on. That’s always a good thing to have when dealing with feet and shoes.\n\n[Top of the posts: Drawing of My Taupe colored Pumps, by Aletha Kuschan, pencil]",

"Reader comments help me greatly to clarify my ideas, and I thank everyone who leaves comments here. In my previous post about the education of a hypothetical “great artist,” I argue that the most authentic form of art comes from the self. Moreover, I argued that for this reason, the greatest artists — regardless how much education they had — were, in very important ways, “autodidacts.”\n\nPerhaps I made it sound like an aspiring great artist should avoid schools, books, conversation and study. So, I want to clarify the idea by saying that, quite the contrary, I’m aware that great artists typically had very thorough and deep educations. Sometimes they had, like Rubens, a rich formal education. Rubens’s education in rhetoric, history, language as well as his “internship” with the Carracci brothers in Italy made him a thousand-fold more savvy than the typical, much touted “New York” artist of today. Monet, to cite a different kind of career, was certainly well acquainted the great paintings of the Louvre and with the main tenets of academic art of his era and had innumerable painter friends of all sorts.\n\nVan Gogh who I had used as a role model of the perfect sort of autodidact did literally isolate himself and set to work learning to draw through sheer hard work and struggle. But even Van Gogh had a direct “teacher” in the form of a drawing manual, one that was popular in his day by Charles Bargue. But what distinquishes Van Gogh’s studies from the norm is the keen force of his personality.\n\nVan Gogh was well acquainted with art prior to his decision to become an artist. He had worked as an art dealer, following in that a family tradition. He had been a passionate visitor of museums. He was deeply influenced by a wide number of artists and traditions. While it is most unlikely that Van Gogh could have known the particular drawing at the top of this post, by Cornelis Hendricksz Vroom of 17th century Haarlem, Van Gogh was nonetheless probably deeply influenced by the tradition of which Vroom was part. And for a modern viewer, well acquainted with the masterful graphic vocabulary that Van Gogh uses in his late drawings — all the dots and dashes and wonderfully expressive penlines of every sort — seeing this drawing by Vroom is a little like finding Van Gogh’s 17th century twin.\n\nThere are as many paths to art as there are travelers, but upon each path the person taking the journey has to find a spiritual compass within his or her own life. Yes, an artist should study assiduously! Certainly, a serious artist is very eager to learn and to see. But the finding is certified not by outside authorities, but by the quiet, sure judgement of the self.\n\nThe Vroom drawing above belongs to the Albertina Museum which is in the process of putting images of its entire collection on line. Its addition makes another wonderful resource of ideas for today’s artists.",

"Archive for the tag “Geopolitics”\n\nAftershocks: The Coronavirus Pandemic And The New World Disorder\n\nThe novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a global public health disaster of almost biblical proportions. It is a once-in-a-century occurrence that threatens to destroy countless lives, ruin economies, and stress national and international institutions to their breaking point. And, even after the virus recedes, the geopolitical wreckage it leaves in its wake could be profound.\n\nSupply Chains And A Novel Path To Conflict\n\nGeopolitics is about place. It is about where things are made, how they move to different places in the production process and how they reach the consumers who use them. Obviously there is a financial aspect in both defining the physical reality of the supply chain and defining the total financial impact on the system. The supply chain depends on what is needed for a product, where it is produced and the price paid for acquiring it.\n\nUnder Donald Trump, geopolitics is back with a vengeance. For him, the United States has enemies and contingent, interest-based allies. In Trump’s world-view – more systematically articulated by him than usual in the 2017 US National Security Strategy – his predecessors forgot the hard reality that international politics is a contest for power.\n\nLet’s face it: Huawei’s sinking reputation isn’t merely a victim of geopolitics. Way back in 2003, Huawei admitted copying some router software code from Cisco Systems Inc., which had sued the Chinese firm. Huawei had to remove the pilfered property. In 2010, Motorola Solutions Inc. sued Huawei for stealing its trade secrets, a case that was later settled. Now, part of the latest indictment accuses Huawei of snatching robotics technology from T-Mobile USA Inc..\n\nAlso Read: Trump, Huawei, And The Politics Of Extradition\n\nThe Geopolitics Of Language In The Himalayas",

"Photo by Kalle Kortelainen on Unsplash\n\nThe Himalayas are a global center for linguistic diversity. Setting out from Beijing or Delhi, the number of languages rises with altitude, conforming to global patterns that see linguistic diversity increasing in rough, mountainous terrain. This diversity is not neatly patterned: state, ethnicity, and language are not correlated. Knowing where someone lives or what identity they profess does not tell us what languages they speak.\n\nAfter becoming prime minister, Imran Khan received a goodwill message from the president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani. It read like a routine gesture, but both Kabul and Islamabad have reached a point in their deadlocked relationship where they want “real peace”, that is, for the Taliban to end their aggression.\n\nPresident Donald Trump’s ALL-CAPS Twitter threat against Iran—“CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED”—feels like a cut-and-paste job from his approach to North Korea. Apply sanctions, make irresponsible suggestion of Armageddon, see what happens.\n\nAlso Read: The Real Threat to America: Iran May Close the Strait of Hormuz\n\nWhat To Know About China’s Ties With Africa, From Aid To Infrastructure\n\nChina’s engagement with Africa has accelerated over the decades as the middle kingdom eyes the world’s second largest continent for opportunities for economic growth and geopolitical influence. President Xi Jinping’s visits this week to Senegal, Rwanda, South Africa and Mauritius – his first overseas trips of the year – are expected to build ties and extend Beijing’s influence on the continent.\n\nTo Engage China, Or Balance It? Lessons From A Failed Grand Strategic Exercise\n\nHow should a great power manage a rival with an authoritarian government, a state-directed capitalist economy, strong mercantilist tendencies and a “leader for life” that exploited a “cult of personality?” To make matters more difficult, this country’s government dominates society through an all-pervasive party structure that stresses nationalism and argues that only the party can reverse recent slights and return the nation to its rightful place in the sun. This might sound like modern-day China, but in fact it is 1930s Germany.\n\nChina makes no secret of its interest in the Indian Ocean, which contains vital sea lanes along which a large share of its imports and exports pass. It has not been shy about trying to curry favour with littoral and island states through its Belt and Road Initiative, a massive project to invest in infrastructure along ancient and modern trading routes."

"The exhibition by Swiss collaborative duo Onorato-Krebs is a fascinating mix of analog photographs, sculptures, installations and films.",
null,

"Until July 15, 2018 the KINDL Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin – the former Kindl brewery turned into a refreshing cultural hub – is presenting a major exhibition of Swiss collaborative duo Tayio Onorato and Nico Krebs’ work. Featuring both new and old works such as their most extensive photo series “The Great Unreal” (2005-2009) and “Continental Drift” (2013-2016), the exhibition curated by Andreas Fiedler also includes over ten film projections, a group of new sculptures, and installations.\n\n“The Great Unreal” came about when Onorato and Krebs went on a series of road trips through the United States between 2005 and 2009 and deals with the country’s iconography. The artists immersed themselves in a context which they knew previously for the myth of Hollywood and the ubiquitous images of the “American dream”: by manipulating cultural icons and intervening on clichéd ideas of mystical landscapes with surprising and surreal alterations, the Swiss duo explores the concept of reality versus fabrication of reality.\n\n“Continental Drift”, the second main photo series featured in the exhibition, follows a similar creative process: in April 2013 the duo loaded up their 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser in Switzerland and headed east. With Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia, as their ultimate destination, Onorato and Krebs set forth on an expedition through the former gigantic land mass of the former Soviet Union. Between documentation and fiction, the photo series explores the region’s haze of post-Communist history and geopolitics, as well as the spreading desire to develop a solid identity beyond the religious, territorial, and ethnic turmoil.\n\nWooden scaffoldings are built on empty plots of land and echo the silhouettes of the buildings behind them, creating the illusion that they’re connected. It’s Building Berlin/Constructions (2009-2012), the third main photo series on show at KINDL. Particularly interesting because they were taken in Berlin, these photographs depict many areas which don’t look the same anymore and thus document – and keep alive – the city’s history.\n\nTaiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs were both born in 1979 in Switzerland and have been working together since 2003. Though much of their work is photographic, the collaborative duo also engages with other media, such as film, sculpture, installation, and sound art. They live and work between Bovec (Slovenia), Vyhne (Slovakia), and Berlin."

"The NBA stars have been showing a perfect attendance to New York Fashion week, but where was Yeezy? This week there has been alot of discussion going on in the media regards to Kanye West not being a main figure attending New York fashion week. Known for his incredible style and taste for aesthetics, this is not a usual thing to witness or hear. Kanye always makee fashionable statement while being the celebrity people love to talk about. Like the VMAs, people are eagerly anticipating what Kanye has up his sleeve. The truth is we don’t know.\n\nHowever, there are speculation Mr. West will have a slot to showcase his debut collection at Paris Fashion Show, according to Harper’s Bazzaar Australia. The women’s collection will be shown on October 1st approx. 9 A.M. (hopefully that is EST). With the help of a fashion editor from Harper’s Bazaar, Christine Centenera, who will be guiding the aspiring designer as a consultant. Honestly right now this is hearsay because last time it was Louise Wilson (presidident of the MA fashion course in Central St. Martins).\n\nThe truth is no one cares any longer! Shifting stories of what is going to be in featured is highly skeptical. For example, Would the collection be appealing in regards to other demographics. We all know he has a way of exhibiting his material! Is the women’s collection gonna provide a retro vibe or is going to have some Drapy ancient Greek inspired gowns and Motif prints like Versace (come to think of it, WTF happened to pastelle????). Judging fro his aesthetics, I would not be surprised if he is trying to be like the black Alexander McQueen. At least give us a sneak peek lol!!"

"While some smaller cafes shy away from wi-fi to discourage space-and-time-eating laptop use, a new cafe concept in the heart of Silicon Valley is taking the opposite approach. German multinational technology company SAP SE today unveiled Hanahaus, which the company describes as a “cafe and community workspace that aims to foster a vibrant culture of technology innovation.”\n\nBlue Bottle Coffee is partnering with Hanahaus to provide the coffee service, as well as a freshly prepared meals throughout breakfast, lunch and dinner. The facility, representing Blue Bottle’s 18th retail outpost, occupies 15,000 square feet inside the 1920s New Varsity Theater in Palo Alto, which most recently housed a Borders bookstore after decades as a working theater.",

"“The Struggle for Syria,” as Patrick Seale titled his 1965 classic, has escalated steadily since Britain seized the territory from Turkey in 1918. The British turned it over to France in 1920 and took it back from Vichy in 1942. Following nominal independence in 1946, Syria became a theater of Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. The stream of military coups between 1949 and 1970 concluded with the Hafez al-Assad putsch that left Syria in the Kremlin camp. Assad, however, proved anything but subservient to his superpower benefactor. The struggle for Syria continued in desultory fashion as Syria irritated Moscow by flirting with the U.S. in Lebanon and sending troops to support the American reconquista of Kuwait in 1991. The U.S. soon reverted to form, labeling Syria a “terrorist state” and condemning both its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and its alliance with Iran. In 2011, the struggle became a war. The U.S. and Russia, as well as local hegemons, backed opposite sides, ensuring a balance of terror that has devastated the country and defies resolution.\n\nThe Russians, having lost Aden, Egypt, and Libya years earlier, backed their only client regime in the Arab world when it came under threat. The U.S. gave rhetorical and logistical support to rebels, raising false hopes — as it had done among the Hungarian patriots it left in the lurch in 1956 — that it would intervene with force to help them. Regional allies, namely Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey, were left to dispatch arms, money, and men, while disagreeing on objectives and strategy.\n\nChristopher Phillips’s brilliant analysis of the factors fueling the Syria war is a refreshing contrast to works by most ostensible experts, who are partis pris, ill-informed, or both. With his new book, “The Battle for Syria: International Rivalry in the New Middle East,” published by Yale this month, Phillips joins a short list of writers, among them Joshua Landis, Patrick Cockburn, Fawaz Gerges, and the late Anthony Shadid, who have made original contributions to understanding the Syria war’s causes and consequences. “The Battle for Syria” makes a determined and successful stab at apportioning responsibility to all the countries whose lavish provision of weapons and money have prolonged the war far longer than Syria’s own resources would have permitted. The deaths of more than 500,000 and the dispossession of almost half of Syria’s estimated 22 million inhabitants testify to the lack of interest these outsiders have in Syria itself and the priority they place on their own competing goals.\n\n“On the eve of civil war,” Phillips writes, “Syria and the Middle East appeared deceptively stable.” It turned out that the region was static rather than stable. Hints of imminent change were few, but not invisible. President Barack Obama intimated that the United States, like Britain 40 years before, was reducing its involvement in the region. America’s Iraq invasion, like the Suez fiasco for the British and French in 1956, had stretched American resources and made similar adventures less appealing. Obama admitted to a Cairo audience in 2009, “America does not presume to know what is best for everyone.” While this should have opened space for public participation in Arab governance, it instead left the impression of a vacuum to be filled.\n\nTunisia led the way, when popular demonstrations forced the exit of a Western-backed Arab head of state whose corruption and brutality were on a par with those of his colleagues elsewhere the Arab world. That success kindled hope that revolution was a viable option and made France in particular wary of further identification with untenable if hitherto compliant tyrants. The virus spread to other Arab countries, but it played out differently in every infected state. In Bahrain, the Saudis and the local royal family crushed the protestors. In Egypt, a dictator departed, the voters elected and then disowned a religious fanatic, and another military dictator restored the old order in a more vicious form. In Libya, unrest led to bloodshed and NATO intervention that replaced a dictatorship with virulent chaos.\n\nDespite the failure of revolution everywhere but Tunisia, outside powers seized with alacrity on Syrian dissent to bring down a regime whose cardinal sin was its affiliation with Shiite Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia. While Syrian protestors sought relief from a security system that inhibited their basic rights, the outsiders who rallied to them, notably Saudi Arabia and Qatar, hardly stood as models of freedom and elected government. Syrian activists at first demanded reforms within the system and later a change of leadership without destroying, as the U.S. had done in Iraq, the state itself. The sheikhs of Riyadh and Doha, however, wanted to replace Bashar al-Assad with someone from the majority Sunni community who would enforce a style of dictatorship closer to their own Wahhabi beliefs and hostile to Iran.\n\nBy mid-2012, Phillips writes, the opposition was divided into no fewer than 3,250 armed companies. All attempts at unifying them failed, in part because local warlords sought loot rather than national victory and the outsiders refused to coordinate their policies. The traditional invaders of the Mideast — Britain, France, and the U.S. — became, in Phillips’s words, “prisoners of their own rhetoric.” Phillips accuses the U.S. of a “significant historical knowledge gap on Syria” and brands as “inexcusable” Obama’s reticence to consider contingency plans when his belief in Assad’s imminent demise did not come to fruition. Saudi Arabia, in Phillips’s view, overestimated the rebels’ strength while underestimating Assad’s. Saudi Arabia was not alone in that miscalculation. Yet, Phillips argues, Obama resisted the arguments of those, like Hillary Clinton, urging direct American military action even at the risk of war with Russia.\n\nWhenever Assad’s back is against the wall, Russia and Iran pitch in with more help. When the rebels retreat, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey send more fighters and weapons. If Hillary Clinton becomes commander in chief on January 20, 2017, her promise of an American-patrolled no-fly zone will lead to direct confrontation between Russian and American warplanes and draw the U.S. deeper into a war that Phillips believes Obama was right to avoid. She should read this book first.",

"20/05/2019 - CANNES 2019: The Dardenne brothers return to their core film values, painting a modest portrait of a child caught in the vortex of religious radicalisation\n\nAhmed, age 12 years and a bit, gets ready in silence. He is preparing to help his imam with the prayer. He carries out the religious gestures and rituals with diligence. \"I’m not a child anymore\", Ahmed proclaims, despite the fact that he uses his schoolboy Sellotape to put the finishing touches to his murderous project. At odds with his loved ones, Ahmed is caught between his imam’s ideals of purity and the call of life.\n\nTackling the ridiculously complicated and potentially risky subject of Islamic radicalisation head on, Young Ahmed [+see also:\ntrailer\ninterview: Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne\nfilm profile], presented in competition at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, sees Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne broaching the topic through the prism of their own particular brand of film - direct and full of humanity. The clever idea here was the decision to choose not a young man or even an adolescent as the protagonist, but a child, who takes this fanaticism to the very depths of his core. At just 12 years old, Ahmed can only conceive of radicality in absolute terms, with no barriers and no holding back. He can’t content himself with the radical discourse of the imam, who is quick to backtrack when Ahmed tries to apply his words literally.\n\nWe will never know the reasons behind Ahmed’s radicalisation. But through a fistful of scenes which show the total divide between the young boy and his surrounding family, we come to understand that Ahmed no longer has a father; a father who disappeared and whom he reproaches, moreover, for not having been a Muslim figure of authority that he could have admired. By his side (his bedside, even) we see a multitude of substitute fathers, one after the other, who all fail to get through to Ahmed. Even his imam ends up losing contact with him. His mother and his teacher are equally powerless in the face of Ahmed’s silence and imperviousness.\n\nAs such, despite the outflows of kindness that keep on pouring from all quarters, nothing can deviate the young boy from the deathly destiny that he has created for himself. And the adults who surround him – like those who are seated in the darkened room – can only cry over the cruel reality that we can’t save our children if they don’t want to be saved.\n\nAnd yet, the Dardenne brothers prise open a door. Building narrative tension with a masterful and precise hand, maintaining a balance between the unalterable character of Ahmed’s will, and the fundamental conviction that he could never really go through with his sinister plan, the filmmakers film the weaknesses of this young body which sometimes seems to resist indoctrination, and the infinitesimal cracks which suggest there might just be a way out.\n\nIn the role of Ahmed is an actor making his screen debut, the young Idir Ben Addi, whose unbelievable resilience serves to revitalise the Dardenne brothers’ trademark, which consists of magnifying the first on-screen appearance of a young person as he/she takes on the form of a fictional character, just as they did with previous revelations, including The Promise’s Jérémie Renier or Rosetta’s Emilie Dequenne.\n\nYoung Ahmed, the Dardenne brothers’ 11th feature film and the 8th selected to compete in the Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival, is produced by the filmmakers’ own company, Les Films du Fleuve (Belgium) and Archipel 35 (France). International sales are in the hands of Wild Bunch. It will be released on 22 May in France (where it will be distributed by Diaphana) and in Belgium (distributed by Cinéart).\n\n\"The child is more radical than the radicals\"\n\nCANNES 2019: We met with the Dardenne brothers on the occasion of their 8th visit to the Cannes competition with yet another film, this time in the form of Young Ahmed, their 11th feature\n\nInterview: Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne • Directors of Tori and Lokita\n\n“The fate of migrants, of exiles, that we reserve, is the big question our society faces\"\n\n“Fostering young talents is one of the aims of any festival”",

"All eyes are on Mortal Kombat and this year’s Monster Hunter. However, Netflix also hosts video game adaptations in France, produced in China. After the shaky, but vaguely entertaining Double World, it’s the live action of the acclaimed hack ‘n’ slash franchise Dynasty Warriors making its way to us via the platform.\n\nBEAT EVERYTHING\nAnyone who’s ever touched the Omega Force franchise knows that film adaptation is one of extreme technical and stylistic challenges. Each of the more than thirty licensed works (at least, after the first) aspires to feature as many enemies as possible to defeat, turning each gameplay phase into an asymmetrical Homeric battle and, therefore, a formidable outlet. Suffice it to say that turning such a system into a real image is not easy and promises to test crowd management software.\n\nThe opening scene, the battle in which an autocrat usurps the throne and inspires a rebellion, intends to rise to the top of the game (in). Unsurprisingly, CGI shows their limits very, very quickly, but the contract is honored: the confrontation rages on, the hero returns and defeats the farmer effortlessly as a hitman in a kindergarten. Fireballs and other supernatural gusts of wind are responsible for sending opposing forces into the stratosphere to better defeat them. The production underscores the absurdity of this human rain with a certain dynamism, and even on rare occasions invokes Last Train to Busan madness.\n\nUnfortunately, we have to settle for . Immersed in a story that painstakingly adapts The 3 Kingdoms, several super-soldiers and super-villains capable of stirring up mobs (literally and figuratively) beg to send out an extra waltz. Nothing but the central sequences, which should reveal their talents to the world, suffer from rhythmic narrative and spectacle deficits. Before the hero ascends, it is necessary to witness the defeat of the entire vassal herd. And while the situation seems to be deteriorating at any moment, the soldiers there are carapates, keeping us from enjoying the warlike debauchery.\n\nDynasty Warriors burns all its cartridges very fast. Even if he sprinkles his plot with sporadic acrobatic duels, he ends up sorely lacking in castagne. And it wasn’t the climax, which was long awaited, but very disappointing, that raised the level. By abusing the spatial cues and abusing the blurred digital matte painting, the production unfortunately failed to capture the gigantism of the final fight. Frustration. Very frustrating.\n\nLEGENDS ZZZZZZ\nWhat’s even more frustrating is that the feature film seems to be content with this little bit of fun, so the rest suffer from utter laziness. Aesthetically mediocre, slightly motivated to draw a bit of narrative sense from the vast open spaces (and incredibly beautiful landscapes) he’s staged, he doesn’t huddle around to give a little depth to his character, be announced by a simple box, or even to offer some meaningful interaction. interesting.\n\nPoor Carina Lau, yet a legendary actress, finds herself cursed to read an exhibition in a setting reminiscent of the worst hours of 2000s Hollywood digital technology. The scenes, worthy of a Spy Kids sub or Windows dynamic wallpaper, reveal the general laziness of the test no longer responding to anything after a few effective money shots (cut off headshots are fun anyway) packed.\n\nThe script fills the gaps between its abstruse dialogue tunnels with voiceovers that are loud and too clear, telling story details that no one dares to actually bring to the screen. Freewheeling, he introduces goofy romances to two-thirds of the film, as if he suddenly realizes his lack of stakes. At times, he lingers in plays to support his protagonists’ motivations, but only manages to laugh them off even more, in funny sequences that aren’t intentional, like bogus plots.\n\nEven staging is ignored when the iron is not crossed. Using and abusing drone shots, proving once again the risk of misuse of this technology, he regularly gives us to see small pieces of the mountain as the connection between each sequence. Nothing else is needed to definitively settle on the idea of rhythm, the whole thing resembles a nice big fill, playing the clock between two riding slips. In the end, it all became clear: this film would surely be the first of a hypothetical saga that many studios hoped would benefit. In other words, he refusedto come to a conclusion and give us hope that his ambitions do not materialize."

"In observance of the one-year commemoration of the death of George Floyd, we stand with YWCA USA, YWCA Minneapolis, and YWCA St. Paul, who have issued the following joint statement:",
null,
"As we observe the one-year commemoration of the death of George Floyd on May 25, we can be sure of one thing: the protests and court proceedings after his murder in Minneapolis may never have happened without the video that was recorded by Darnella Frazier. Her activism sparked the largest protest movement in U.S. history.\n\nA long-overdue racial reckoning began to take place in America as a result. Police accountability bills were introduced in Congress. Americans began discussing what defunding law enforcement actually means. Corporations started recognizing Juneteenth. Mississippi changed its state flag. Tributes and statues to Confederates and others who espoused hate fell across the country. And athletes kneeling during the National Anthem no longer seemed so un-American.\n\nAs many nationwide breathed a collective sigh of relief after a jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty in the murder of George Floyd, six more deaths of Black Americans during and after Chauvin’s trial prompted renewed calls for justice and an end to police violence, and reminded us all that there is more work to be done.\n\n“Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict offered a moment of accountability, respite, and hope. Yet, we know that much more needs to be done to ensure that no more lives are lost as tragically, senselessly, and unjustly as George Floyd’s,” said Elisha Rhodes, Interim CEO and COO, YWCA USA. “We must end racial profiling and demand that the individuals who take the oath to protect and serve be held accountable for their actions when they fail to uphold that oath. Everyone deserves equal protection under the law, and we must take real steps to ensure that happens.”\n\n“Last year, we saw many organizations and individuals grow increasingly sensitive to issues of racial injustice and become activated to create change, ready to take action against racism in all of its forms. One year later, it’s important not to lose momentum. We invite everyone to remember George Floyd today and show respect for his life by reflecting on the past year and recommitting to the fight for justice,” said Jeninne McGee, Board Chair, YWCA Minneapolis.\n\n“We will continue to grieve the loss of George Floyd and so many others who have lost their lives as a result of unnecessary use of deadly force by police. We must continue to push for police accountability and policing reform while working towards healing in our communities,” said Gaye Adams Massey, CEO, YWCA St. Paul. “Our country carries a painful legacy of racism, and we all have a part to play in changing the systems that have marginalized and dehumanized Black people and people of color. We must continue our fight against racism in all its manifestations, whether in policing and criminal justice or other aspects of life such as housing, education, employment, and health care.”\n\nTogether with YWCA Minneapolis and YWCA St. Paul, over 200 YWCAs across the country stand united to answer the cry for justice, peace, and dignity for all. YWCA continues to call for dismantling systemic racism and for equal protection and opportunity under the law. By advocating for specific, concrete, and long-overdue reforms, we seek to ensure that not another Black life is taken by police violence. These reforms include ending police violence, increasing transparency, and holding law enforcement accountable when violence occurs.\n\nActions you can take to join YWCA in the call for justice include:\n\nTo keep the movement and momentum going, all Americans must continue to stand together and see each other as human beings. Our democracy requires nothing less from each of us as we continue our pursuit of civil rights, equity, and a world where justice just is."

"2 years after she studied this course, she became a millionaire: No course is useless | MadNaija\nENTERTAINMENT| SPORTS| RELATIONSHIP | TECH | TOP-LIST",

"Education is not just a mere chant, if you can’t imbibe in its values, you will have to exclude yourself from it’s positive effect. Dear students, learn from the true life story am about to share with you.\n\nCynthia has been my cousin sister ever since I was able to understand what family is all about. She was not just beautiful but very intelligent.\n\nAfter her secondary school education, Cynthia had to write Jamb and await her admission. While in secondary school, she was always best in class both in attitude and academically. Her reports were always filled with intense excellent reactions from her teachers. Cynthia didn’t go to the best schools in Enugu, but she was amongst the best student the state harbours.\n\nHer countless trophies after school and states competition made her fit for the senior prefect position. Sitting for SSCE was a whole lot of trauma for Cynthia because that’s when her father died but she actually had every courage to sit for the examination and she passed it. Her result were very excellent although not so great as she expected.\n\nIn the year 2011, a year after her SSCE which was in 2010, Cynthia sat for UTME conducted by Jamb. At least by then, she had gotten rid of some emotional depression due to the death of her father.",
null,
"Her Jamb score was quite excellent yet she wasn’t granted admission into the university of Nigeria Nsukka where is applied to study law. Due to her courage and competence, she still decided to wait for 2012 Jamb UTME. That year, she screwed every form of failure and made an excellent score yet UNN never looked at her neither was she considered. She was still persistent about her choosen course especially when all her friends got admitted the previous year.\n\nHer mother made a clarion call and beckoned her to change institution. “It isn’t all about the school you attended or the course you read instead it’s about the value you acquired as you bid farewell to the university.” She tallied with her mother’s advise and decided to enroll into Institute of Management and Technology(IMT) Enugu.\n\nAlthough she was not happy performing below expectations as everyone was looking forward to the lawyer that will emerge with a first class honour from University of Nigeria, Nsukka.\n\nMuch to everyone’s chagrin, she stoop for the course most people considers as less important.",
null,
"After she graduated from IMT with first class in economics, she had already decided to join her mother’s business and raise money to advance to law if the opportunity is still there for her. Most of her friends made mockery of the course, “you can only become a teacher or at most a lecturer with that course.”\n\nOn the day of graduating, she received different gifts from friends and loved ones. But one gift changed her life.\n\nHer lecturer gave her a slim envelope which she taught was money but it wasn’t. It was a mail from a leading company in Germany. They wanted an economist and the lecturer recommended Cynthia.\n\nBut that wasn’t a guarantee because she ought to sit for the review examination and the interview at Lagos State, Nigeria. She was best both at the interview and at the examination. As part of the agreement, Cynthia had to travel to Germany to work for the company that employed her.",
null,
"Her competence made her attain great height in the company in the space of two years. Cynthia graduated in 2016 but at 2018, she already built an edifice at her father’s home and her two younger siblings were attending the best schools. The assests she had was great, just by having a degree in economics.\n\nWhere are her mocking friends who thought she will end up a teacher?\n\nThe Bible says, whatsoever your hand finds doing, do it with your heart. Most students decline the opportunity to achieve their dreams because they were interested in the leading course. They want to be addressed as doctors, lawyers or an engineer. This is not to discourage those going for the course, instead I want to use this medium to exhort those students who are yet to get the desired course; no course is useless. It’s all about who us studying it, the plans the person has towards the course and how committed you are to the course.\n\nEverything is readily impactful, it’s just for you to discover the undiscovered.",
null,
"Take to the comment section to tell us your own story. Did you get the course you verged for or were you unable to get admitted to your choice of school?\n\nLike and share to others. The school you attend don’t in any way determine your destiny or success of your career, just ensure you were devoted to your studies and you will love to be a testimony to others just like Cynthia."

"Since late 2010, Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) has been examining the direct and indirect harm globally from explosive weapons. Since that time we have looked at English language media reports on a daily basis, examining credible coverage of explosive violence incidents around the world. Here is a snapshot of our top-line findings. For more granular details, please visit our Explosive Violence Monitor page here.",
null,
"Over the last eight years (2011-2018), civilian casualties have accounted for three-quarters of total casualties recorded from explosive weapon harm. Between 2011 and 2015, AOAV recorded an increase year on year of civilian harm. That tide turned 2016 when there was a decline in civilians being killed or injured by explosive weapons, a drop that continued through to 2018. It is not clear if this is a decrease in civilian harm or may reflect fatigue in conflict reporting, especially with regard to injuries. If you just look at civilians killed, every year between 2011 and 2017 saw an increase in the numbers reported killed, with a drop only in 2018. In total, over 230,000 civilians have been killed or injured in this period – on average 79 civilians were killed or injured everyday.",
null,
"Civilian deaths over this eight-year period have accounted for 36% of total civilian casualties. Indeed in 2017, AOAV recorded more civilian deaths than injuries – it is likely many injuries were not reported, particularly in conflicts such as Syria and Yemen. An increase in the fatality:injury ratio, however, may also be down to a lack of access to healthcare, as medical infrastructure is damaged and destroyed throughout the violence. This renders conflicts deadlier, and leads to injuries being harder to record.",
null,
"When explosive violence was used in populated areas between 2011 and 2018, over nine in every ten casualties were civilians. This has been a pattern consistently seen throughout the course of AOAV’s monitoring.",
null,
null,
"Alternatively, when explosive weapons have been used in areas not reported as populated – this typically includes areas such as agricultural lands, armed bases, roads in remote locations and other areas where dense civilian populations are unlikely – civilians account for less than 30%, or three in every ten, of the casualties caused.\n\nAOAV has repeatedly found that when explosive weapons are used in populated areas, particularly those with wide-area effects, civilians are highly likely to make up the majority of those killed and injured.\n\nWhile the fact that 119 countries and territories have seen at least one death or injury from explosive violence shows the global nature of the harm.",
null,
null,
"However, the number of casualties from IEDs has been on the decrease since 2013, with the number of IED incidents considerably lower in the following years. Whilst there was a significant rise in the number of IED incidents in 2018 there continued to be a decrease in casualties. This largely appears to be due to the nature of the IEDs used, with more victim-operated and roadside bombs being used as ISIS continues to carry out small-scale attacks and leave such devices behind in liberated areas.\n\nNevertheless, aside from 2017, IEDs have been the weapon-type responsible for the most civilian casualties from explosive violence each year since 2011 and continue to pose a substantial threat across the globe.",
null,
"Casualties from airstrikes rose significantly over the course of the last eight years, peaking in 2017 when they caused more civilian casualties than any other weapon type, before seeing a decrease in 2018. Over the last eight years, many states have become increasingly engaged in airstrike campaigns particularly in Syria, Iraq, Gaza and Yemen, including those in the Saudi-led coalition and the US-led coalition as well as Israel, Syria and Russia. The airstrikes by these states have resulted in thousands of civilian casualties – more than can be captured by AOAV’s data.\n\nThe rise in 2014 is predominantly accounted for by the airstrikes that devastated the people of Gaza over July and August 2014 as part of Operation Protective Edge. 2015 saw the beginning of the Saudi-coalition’s campaign in Yemen as well as Russia’s use of airstrikes in Syria, though the majority of civilian casualties from Russian airstrikes occurred in Aleppo in late 2016. 2017 saw not only Syrian, Russian and Saudi airstrikes continue to devastate civilian populations, but the US-led coalition campaigns on Raqqa and Mosul also occurred. The 2018 casualties largely signify the harm from Syrian and Russian bombardment of Eastern Ghouta in Syria and the continued Saudi-coalition bombardment of Yemen.",
null,
"Used by both state and non-state actors, the use of ground-launched weapons has been quite consistent throughout the last eight years. However, in the last couple of years there has been a decline in casualties from their use despite higher levels of incidents.",
null,
"While the liberation of territories governed by ISIS has seen a decrease in large-scale suicide bombings in Syria and Iraq, we are beginning to see the rise of ISIS in other countries, where they are beginning to carry out more and larger attacks.",
null,
null,
"However, what is of concern is that civilian casualties from state use of explosive weapons have been on the rise in the last eight years, with more and more states engaging in conflict. Often this engagement results in high numbers of civilian casualties and there is some evidence to suggest that such engagement fuels further terrorist group activities and membership.",
null,
"Whilst there has also been a rise in casualties in non-state use of explosive weapons this somewhat skewed due to an increase in non-state groups being identified behind IED attacks – therefore far more IED incidents have been recorded with a non-state group perpetrator, despite the specific group not being identified, rather than going recorded with an unknown perpetrator. It is now primarily ground-launched attacks where the perpetrator status goes unrecorded.\n\nThe findings over the eight-year period between 2011 and 2018, have identified some crucial trends and patterns that help not only better understand the civilian harm that results from the use of explosive weapons but also helps to prevent it. AOAV, along with other members of the International Network on Explosive Weapons (INEW), has been calling on states to develop a political agreement to stop the use of explosive weapons with wide-area effects in populated areas. It is clear from the course of AOAV monitoring over this period that this is one of the key steps that could contribute to a substantial decrease in civilian deaths and injuries from explosive weapons.\n\nAOAV has also continued to examine IEDs and suicide bombings in particular due to the high-levels of casualties that result from these attacks. AOAV has called for states to address the proliferation of IED precursor materials and for better sharing of knowledge between states and other actors engaged in preventing and responding to IEDs.\n\nWhat is undeniably clear from AOAV’s data is that it is civilians that consistently bear the harm from the use of explosive weapons. While the reverberating impact of such explosive violence means that these incidents will continue to devastate civilian populations for decades."

"The Atari VCS is a very interesting game console that I’m sure many gamers are looking forward to. While it was set to release this Summer, it appears that we will have to wait a little longer as it has been delayed, but for good reason.\n\nThe reason for the delay is that the console is slated for an upgrade to a 14nm AMD Ryzen processor with Radeon Vega graphics architecture and two Zen CPU cores which replaces the model from the “Bristol Ridge” family.\n\nThe upgrade to the AMD Ryzen and Radeon Vega combo will make the console run faster, stay cooler, and become more efficient in the long run. The new processor will include built-in Ethernet, Native 4K video with modern HDCP, and a secure frame buffer that fully-supports DRM video which will allow users to watch things like Netflix and HBO.\n\nUnfortunately, this will come at a cost of seeing the Atari VCS delayed yet again. It was originally set to release last year, and seeing a product with constant delays is never really a good sign. For now, we will have to wait for further developments on the project and hopefully, it will end up releasing sooner rather than later.\n\nThe bad news is how many times it has now been pushed back as it was originally set for release last year, so could this mean another set back is imminent? Also, Atari has yet to confirm what games you will be playing, the final peripherals or the UI experience which is a little concerning after all this time that they have yet to give us information on this, but we’re hopeful that this will be sooner rather than later at this stage.\n\nAt the moment, the Atari VCS is set to release sometime at the end of 2019 with no specific release date mentioned yet.\n\nPokdepinion: Not gonna lie, the hardware upgrade is piquing my interest, but I wonder why they decided to do that now of all times. Also, hopefully there wouldn’t be any compatibility issues from the original plan.\n\nAiman Maulana\nJack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

"I retired from being a Bristol councillor in February 2021 due to the continuous stress but I’m pleased to hear that my co-councillor for Clifton Down, Carla Denyer, has become the Chair of Overview Scrutiny. That’s a really important job; especially when it comes to scrutinising house building in general and affordable homes in particular.\n\nBut despite these pledges, there are even bigger issues at play: Why are so many non-affordable homes being built when land is scarce and the evidenced need is for affordability? The system is smelly, so bad, it stinks.\n\nOne of the many problems with the system is viability statements. I saw plenty during my time on planning committees. They are cost forecasts that allow the developer to protect their profits by reducing the amount of affordable housing and escape other planning requirements. It gets worse in build-to-rent schemes as developers are now permitted to offset the cost of purchasers’ stamp duty (a tax that purchasers pay when they buy a home) even though nobody is actually purchasing.\n\nI called this out when we considered a 120-flat proposal on Avon Street, behind Temple Quay. We refused it in 2018, they offered just 3% affordable housing, blaming a stamp duty cost they were never likely to pay. The developer, L&G, went to appeal and won; The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors had approved this stamp duty deduction. It is a shocking indictment of the whole rotten system.\n\nThat was but one tiny example. Housebuilding deals need more openness and detailed scrutiny to find out why there still aren’t enough affordable homes being built. I am not accusing anyone in Bristol of doing anything wrong, it’s just that it’s the national system that stinks.\n\nA system that stinks\n\nStink number one: Property developers are investing more and more money into the Conservative Party. This is highly relevant because this is the time the government is relaxing many planning rules to encourage building. I wonder what return these donors expect to get?\n\nStink number two: Many of these new rules won’t require affordable housing (of any kind) as they will be Permitted Development, which allows certain types of developments, such as converting offices into housing, to avoid much of the planning process. This means the reasons for officers and councillors to reject are tightly limited and there is no mechanism for adding affordable homes. For example adding a couple more storeys to a block of flats (like was tried at Grange Court in Henleaze) or converting offices. Homes, cheap to build; but no requirement to sell or rent them cheaply.\n\nStink number three has been going on decades, it’s more like a stench. The level of affordable homes is still well below that needed (in Bristol it has been at 19% and South Gloucestershire 36%). Mayor Marvin Rees is targeting close to 50%, according to his recent election pledges.\n\nOne of the causes of this dreadful shortfall is the Green Belt, an idea from the 1940’s to prevent urban sprawl and protect nature from housebuilding.\n\nSixty years later, land inside the Green Belt is scarce. That scarcity causes land prices to go up, which makes affordable housing more expensive for any developer, whether they be morally scrupulous or less so. This land scarcity means that expensive homes will be favoured (by the developer). My calculations show that it’s almost impossible for developers to make enough profit and build the affordable housing we need at the same time. I’ve been through many developers’ financial viability statements which justify why they can’t do it.\n\nThe Green Belt is popular. But it costs the poor because they have to pay higher rents. If it is retained, and already I hear readers clamouring to keep it, then the government needs to do something about the land scarcity problem.\n\nBad odour number four is that the government has tried to plug this crisis nationally with grants administered from an agency called Homes England. This is taxpayers’ money and goes to developers and/or land owners to help them increase the number of affordable homes within a scheme. Whilst this is ‘a good cause’, it can add to the land price problem; and worse there was a recent scandal about a Homes England conflict of interest: A government aide working for Homes England approved a big loan to a property developer who, incidentally, were paying that very same aide for advice. Lord Udny-Lister has since apologised.\n\nSmell number five comes from Liverpool, whose mayor was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit bribery and witness intimidation as part of an investigation into the awarding of building contracts in the city. The government has since taken over control of some aspects of development there.\n\nWhat needs to happen next\n\nFor me these five pongs create a Great Stink; I hope it’s enough to tip off Bristol’s Overview Scrutiny led by Councillor Carla Denyer. They need to find out what deals are being done, the terms and why we have not been achieving the affordable housing targets for the last two decades and are still miles off the actual need.\n\nI call on scrutiny councillors to give this serious consideration. I hope they will ask to see all the information necessary so as to better understand the issues and make sure that what is being done in Bristol is in the best interests of those most in need.\n\nThe Conservatives used to chair the council’s Overview Scrutiny committee, but have been replaced by the Greens because of the seats the party gained at May’s election – a breath of fresh air. Labour of course are in power. Everyone says they want more affordable homes, I’m sure most do, but the temptation to do deals must be immense. Learn from Liverpool, get this into the open, Greens get scrutinising.\n\nDevelopers will want this done in secret. Access to information was one of the big battles I fought for in my five year stint, and was one of the causes of my chronic stress. I’m away from that now, free from council restrictions. I am free to say what I think.\n\nAnd if scrutiny committees conclude that Bristol’s affordable housing need can never be met by the private sector, which is my suspicion, then I can suggest a route forward. But there will be one helluva fuss.\n\nClive Stevens is a former Green councillor, who has a blog about the building of affordable housing.\n\n'We need public leaders and institutions to be bold with big ideas, despite the risks and bad PR'\n\nWhen we face existential issues like the climate crisis, or calls for radical changes to problems that affect us all, we need public institutions and leaders to not be timid."

"We just got more evidence that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable. On Friday a magnitude 7.0 earthquake destroyed homes, ripped apart roads and destroyed infrastructure all throughout Anchorage, Alaska. According to the USGS, the earthquake hit at 8:29 AM and the epicenter was approximately 7 miles north of Anchorage. That quake was followed by a highly destructive magnitude 5.7 aftershock just a little while later. Alaska Governor Bill Walker has declared a state of emergency, and the entire region is in a state of chaos. Unfortunately, as global seismic activity continues to increase, more quakes like this are inevitable. Like Alaska, the entire west coast of the United States sits directly along the “Ring of Fire”, and many have warned that “the Big One” is coming sooner rather than later.\n\nTonight, large numbers of Anchorage residents are suddenly homeless, and that includes Alaska’s most famous politician…\n\nLight fixtures fell, glass shattered, roadways and supermarket aisles were awash from food spilled from broken jars. Video images showed some roadways had collapsed. One man tweeted a photo of his toppled chimney and a local television station showed its studio filled with debris.\n\nFormer Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tweeted, saying her family is intact but her “house is not.”\n\n🙏🏼 for Alaska. Our family is intact – house is not… I imagine that’s the case for many, many others. So thankful to be safe; praying for our state following the earthquake.\n\nAt this point it is extremely difficult to get around Anchorage. Numerous roads were shredded by the quake and that includes the only road to Wasilla…\n\nThe quake was so strong it broke windows, cracked buildings and knocked local news station KTUU off air. Several highway and local roads crumbled in the temblor, stranding cars in the asphalt mess. The shake also broke up the only road connecting Anchorage and the nearby towns of Wasilla and Palmer.\n\nIt is going to take an extended period of time for authorities to assess the economic damage and to figure out how many human casualties there were.\n\nREAD U.S. Financial Markets Have Become A Giant Mirage Built On A Foundation Of Fraud\n\nMany took cover under desks and in closets as the shaking happened, but those caught out in the open didn’t have anywhere to go.\n\n“It felt like my car was uncontrollably sliding left and right and I just didn’t understand because it was going perfectly fine up until then. It felt like the ground was gonna open up underneath you,” Lohr said.\n\nIn the aftermath of this Anchorage earthquake, many are wondering how long it will be before the west coast is struck by a major quake.\n\nAnd the truth is that we have already been seeing quite a bit of shaking. In fact, a rather sizable earthquake did hit southern California very early on Thursday morning…\n\nA 4.1 earthquake has rattled California and parts of Mexico, with San Diego among the cities hit.\n\nThe earthquake struck California at 5.48am, waking up many residents in the south of the state and north-west Mexico. One resident said on earthquake tracking website EMSC-CSEM: “The roof creaked and the ground rumbled.” Another reported: “It woke me up.”\n\nThose that have been living in California have been hearing about “the Big One” for decades, but it hasn’t happened yet.\n\nSo many of them have been lulled into a false sense of security, but that is a huge mistake.\n\nAccording to Cal State Fullerton professor Matt Kirby, when “the Big One” finally does hit, large portions of the coastline could be plunged into the ocean “relatively instantaneously”…\n\nFurther north, the Cascadia Subduction Zone is a major concern.\n\nScientists assure us that someday a massive earthquake will strike along the Cascadia Subduction Zone which will destroy pretty much everything west of Interstate 5. The following comes from one of my previous articles…\n\nOne day it will happen. With little or no warning, the Cascadia Subduction Zone will produce a catastrophic earthquake and accompanying tsunami that will essentially destroy everything west of Interstate 5 in the Pacific Northwest. It will be the worst natural disaster up to that point in American history, and as you will see below, the experts are saying that we are completely and utterly unprepared for it. Of course the San Andreas Fault gets more publicity, but the truth is that the Cascadia Subduction Zone is capable of producing a quake “almost 30 times more energetic” than anything the San Andreas Fault can produce. The Cascadia Subduction Zone stretches from northern Vancouver Island all the way down to northern California, and one expert recently told CBN News that all of the major cities in the region are essentially “built on a time bomb”…\n\nFor years I have been warning about the instability of the west coast, and this earthquake in Alaska should be a major wake up call.\n\nREAD U.S. Financial Markets Have Become A Giant Mirage Built On A Foundation Of Fraud\n\nThe west coast is home to the core of our tech industry and some of the most expensive real estate in the entire world, but the clock is ticking for that entire region.\n\nWithout warning, someday “the Big One” will literally shred the entire coastline, and it will be a disaster unlike anything that we have ever seen before in American history.\n\nFootage from Snapchat maps on the earthquake in Anchorage. pic.twitter.com/5TPoHfpT7N"

"The Stargate Writer's Bible declares that each episode of the series should have some moral or lesson. The lesson of \"Urgo\" is that a little self-deprecating humor can be a good thing.\n\nSeason Three has been rough on SG-1. They have been kidnapped, brainwashed, tortured, nearly Goa'ulded, and generally been put through a physical and emotional ringer. They have been to hell and back, literally. Slotting this lighthearted episode directly after the powerful and intense \"Pretense\" creates a nice respite for the viewer, one I imagine was enjoyed by the cast and crew as well.\n\n\"Urgo\" caricatures the typical SG-1 episode -- their adventures so far, their relationships with each other, Jack's wit (or lack there of, sometimes), Sam's brains, etc., going slightly over the top with everything. The opening scene, for example, is a mildly exaggerated version of the team's usual banter. This license to indulge grants us some of the funniest scenes in the history of the show.\n\nTeal'c's coffee chug, Sam's hallway argument with the invisible Urgo, and the defibrillator discussion are hysterical! The desserts scene is classic; it is fun to see the oh-so-serious team acting in a goofy manner, even if it took alien influence to get there. Apart from its comedic purpose, the banter, ease of interaction, looks exchanged and unison speaking that is threaded through the episode show how much the team has jelled over the past three years.\n\nThe episode also produces the program's most memorable dialogue, which is especially remarkable considering that witty dialogue has always been a strength of the show. \"Apparently, all desserts on base are in grave danger,\" and \"'Death or me. Me or death.' 'We're thinking!'\" vie for the prize of best line, but nothing else quite has the ring of \"I wanna live, I wanna experience the universe, and I wanna eat pie.\" This could well be the Stargate fan's mantra.\n\nIt is also wonderful to see that the people who put together the show have a sense of humor about what they do. The production staff are not so caught up in the gravity of the moral issues they deal with or the struggle of science fiction shows to have their programs taken as serious dramas that it prevents them from taking a poke at themselves, and the cast have a sense of humor about their characters that is refreshing.\n\nThere was very little not to like in this episode, once one accepts that its not meant to be taken in the same way as the dramatic episodes. Dom DeLuise does go a little more over the top than the other actors with his portrayals of Urgo and Togar. By the end of the episode, I would not even had to think about the choice between Urgo and death; I would have begged to be put out of my misery. I can sympathize with Peter DeLuise; it must be difficult to tell your own father to stop chewing the scenery.\n\nAdditionally, some of the minor characters seemed to have difficulty ignoring Urgo. I almost felt bad for the guard in the infirmary scene, whose eyes where bouncing everywhere, trying to proclaim to the audience \"I do not see Dom DeLuise! I do not see him! Aw, dang, I am never going to get a speaking part on this show, am I?\"\n\nThe discovery that Urgo is not a malfunction but has become sentient is ripped straight from the Eighties comedy flick Short Circuit (but as the point of the episode is to parody rather than to break new science fiction ground, this is not important).\n\nFinally, I think we can all be thankful that the team is not asked to sing very often. But really, these are trivial complaints when compared with everything that sparkles in \"Urgo.\"\n\n\"Urgo\" works both to showcase the comedy chops of the cast and crew, and to provide the viewer with a break from the season's dramatic developments. Bravo to the DeLuise family for this tension-breaking romp."

"Sorry, Californians, you can't have this: Asus to build WATER COOLED notebook\n\nAsus has unveiled a gaming notebook that comes with its own water cooling system.\n\nThe GX700, shown off by the company ahead of the IFA conference in Berlin, connects to an external cooling system that pumps water through the notebook to cool off its overclocked Intel Skylake CPU.",
null,
"Is it still a laptop if you have to keep it on a desk?\n(click to enlarge)\n\nTo call the GX700 a \"laptop\" is more than a bit of a stretch. Aside from being a sizable 17-inch notebook, the GX700 would need to plug into the cooling box via a dock connector. Presumably the notebook itself can be disconnected, though that would of course require running the system at a lower performance level to keep temperatures down.\n\nOther promised features in the water-cooled notebook include what Asus called the \"latest Nvidia GPU\" with support for 4K resolutions on the 17-inch screen.",
null,
"It's undockable, so let's hope those seals hold\n(click to enlarge)\n\nOne can't imagine that what will surely be a fairly expensive notebook – which also requires an external cooling unit – to be a huge seller, but if Asus' aim was to grab headlines and get some attention for its other, more portable and reasonable Republic of Gamers (ROG) gaming products, then the Taiwanese PC builder certainly accomplished its mission this week.\n\nOther ROG unveilings included notebooks (no water required), peripherals, and a new motherboard and graphics card.\n\nAsus did not say when the GX700 would be released or what pricing will start at. ®"

"When a relationship is new, everything feels light and easy. You can't keep your hands off each other, every night is a date night, and the world feels like a more beautiful place. But even the happiest of days can eventually lead to a rough patch, and it can leave you wondering if the relationship is worth saving.\n\nIf this describes your relationship right now, then let me start by saying that arguing with your SO is totally normal. It can even be healthy, as you both learn to hash out your differences, and come to fair conclusions. As Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., said on Psychology Today, \" A good fight can clear the air, and it’s nice to know we can survive conflict and even learn from it. Many couples, however, get trapped in endless rounds of fighting and blaming that they don’t know how to get out of. When fights go unchecked and unrepaired, they can eventually erode love and respect, which are the bedrock of any successful relationship.\"\n\nAnd that can lead to the aforementioned questioning. Should you stay? Should you run for the hills? Of course, sometimes relationships are worth ditching, especially if they are epically bad, abusive, or dangerous. When that's the case, take steps to move on. Other relationships, however, are pretty solid, but simply need to be repaired. If that sounds like yours, then here are some signs your relationship may be worth saving.\n\nIf you've ever ended a relationship, then you know the \"done!\" feeling very well. You pack your bags, open the door, and stroll out into the world — and you don't look back. But when a relationship is worth saving, you may find yourself feeling sick at the very thought. “Chances are, if you can’t sleep at night because you feel so torn about your thoughts about leaving, it means that there are some valid reasons to consider staying and fixing what isn’t working,\" noted Carolin Lehmann, in an interview with relationship expert Michele Weiner-Davis on HuffingtonPost.com. So start focusing on the positives, and remembering what got you into this relationship in the first place.\n\n2. You Enjoy Spending Time Together\n\nSure, you may be arguing a lot more often. But if your SO is still your favorite person, and you enjoy hanging out, then it might be a sign things shouldn't come to an end. \"After all, one of the primary reasons for being around another person is that it’s fun and enjoyable at least some of the time,\" said Robert Weiss, LCSW, CSAT-S, on Psychology Today.\n\n3. You're Both Mad About The Wrong Thing\n\nTake a second and think about the root cause of all your problems. Are the fights mostly based around your true dislike for each other, or are they stemming from something else? If the latter is the case, take a step back and get mad at the right thing — your job, your family, whatever else is bothering you — and leave your SO out of it.\n\n4. The Idea Of Your Partner Moving On Makes You Sad\n\nIf you are oh so done, then the idea of your partner moving on doesn't seem that horrible. But if your not? The thought of them snuggling with someone else will feel downright bad. \"It sickens you to know you’ve lost something so precious — the safe, loving intimacy that once defined your coupledom — and you desperately want that back, even if you’re not quite ready to do what it takes to resurrect it,\" said Mélanie Berliet on ThoughtCatalog.com.\n\n5. The Problems Aren't Specific To The Relationship\n\nIt can be pretty tempting to think about how much easier life would be with someone else. But deep down, you know that probably wouldn't be the case. “When things become challenging or frustrating or unsatisfying in a marriage, it is common to develop the fantasy that there must be something out there that’s better ... But, typically, the challenges you are facing in your [relationship] are ones that will eventually surface with someone else as well...\" noted Lehmann, in an interview with psychotherapist Elisabeth LaMotte on HuffingtonPost.com.\n\nSure, you two may differ on a lot of things, and that's OK — it's what makes a relationship fun. As long as you both share the same core values, it may be worth working through the issues. As Weiss said, \"Two people are never going to agree on everything. But if there is at least a little common ground regarding religion, politics, finances, education, and the like, there is a decent foundation upon which to build.\"\n\n7. The Idea Of A New Partner Grosses You Out\n\nIf you were truly ready and willing to move on, the idea of all those other \"fish in the sea\" would send you skipping happily to the nearest bar. And yet, something stops you. \"You don’t want to think about all the other great candidates out there — even the wealthier, more attractive, kinder ones. You don’t want to be reassured of your market value, either. You’d rather things just went back to the way they were,\" Berliet said.\n\n8. You Only Mention Breaking Up When You're Angry\n\nI know I say dumb things when I'm mad, and I'm pretty sure everyone else on the planet does, too. So if break up threats and mean words fly freely during an argument, it may not be worth paying them any attention. As Anna Davies said on YouBeauty.com, \"Sure, the words are incredibly hurtful, but that doesn’t mean it’s what your partner truly wants ... Speaking calmly and openly after the fight can help you both parse out how you really feel and if the relationship is worth saving.\"\n\n9. Your Complaints Are Kind Of Silly\n\nThings can start to feel way worse than they truly are, especially if your relationship is struggling. So take a second and think about what the fighting is really all about. Are your complaints petty, and kind of silly? It could be that you both need to sit down and talk about why your feelings are so easily hurt. It may be just what's necessary to help fix your problems.\n\nAfter you've been dating someone for a while, it becomes pretty easy to know exactly how to cut each other down. You know each other's fears, and insecurities, and the whole relationship could go up in flames instantly if you unleashed some true meanness. And yet, you don't. As Berliet said, \"No matter how nasty the arguments get, you still hold back the really nasty stuff. Something always stops you from going to the pitch-black place from which there’s no turning back.\" That something is a mutual love and respect, and that may be worth holding on to.\n\n11. You Think That Spark Can Be Relit\n\nWhen there's a lot of fighting and disagreeing going on, it can really take a toll on the romantic side of things. However, there's often that tiniest bit of chemistry left that means the spark can be relit. \"If you have hit a lull, discuss it with your partner and talk about ways that you can infuse some excitement into your relationship,\" wrote Lehmann, in an interview with licensed counselor Leslie Petruk.\n\n12. You Still Make Each Other Smile\n\nIt may sound like such a little thing, but smiling and joking is a good sign. It means there's still something in there worth salvaging. That's because, according to Berliet, those little smiles remind you of your dumb inside jokes. And just like that, you know it's all worth it.\n\n13. You're Both Willing To Work On It\n\nIf nothing else, you both need to be on board to fix this thing. If one of both of you has 100 percent checked out, then grieve this fact and move on, suggested Weiss. If not, then start talking, and don't give up.\n\nBecause if any of the above is true, then your relationship is probably worth another good, honest try.\n\nMore like this\n10 Ways To Be More Empathetic To Your Partner\nBy Raven Ishak and Lexi Inks\n21 Signs You're Not In Love Anymore\nBy Sara Altschule, Kathleen Ferraro and Carolyn Steber\nThese 4 Zodiac Signs Will Be Extra Lucky In October\nBy Brittany Beringer\nThink Your Partner Is Cheating?

"Reading Elmore Leonard is a lot like eating chiffon. Or cotton candy. It’s a lot a fun, it’s real good, but there ain’t a whole lot there, if ya know what I’m sayin’.\n\nLeonard’s latest, Road Dogs, is no exception. And that’s fine. Lots of times you don’t want to read something that makes you think too much or too hard. Sometimes you just want to be entertained.\n\nAnd this is a great book for those sometimes.\n\nFoley and Cundo meet up in the Florida prison where Jack has been recently sentenced to 30 years and to where Cundo has been transferred to finish the last half dozen years of his sentence.\n\nThey become road dogs, slang for convicts watching each other’s back, and Cundo hooks Foley up with his high powered attorney who gets Foley’s sentence reduced to roughly the same half dozen years.\n\nThe years pass, and.\n\nJack is released earlier than Cundo so Cundo pays him to go out to Cali and check on his angel-but-not-quite-wife, Dawn Navarro, until he gets out a couple a days later.\n\nAnd ya know what?, most all of this happens in the first few pages of the book.\n\nThe rest of the story circles around the post prison week that they all spend together.\n\nIt’s always surprising what can happen in a couple a days time.\n\nAnd there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that."

"Stomach Infection with Helicobacter in Cats",
null,
"The Helicobacter bacteria are normal inhabitants of the intestinal tract, being found in several species, including domestic animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets and pigs, in wild animals such as cheetah's and monkeys, and in humans. Under normal conditions, the Helicobacter bacteria appear to be harmless to cats. While gastric infection due to Helicobacter pylori is a major health problem in humans – it has been associated with gastritis, gastric tumor, and peptic ulcer in affected people – the significance of this bacteria in cats and any correlation to gastric dysfunctions is still largely unclear.\n\nInfection from this bacteria is difficult to eradicate entirely and may last from months to years – even for a lifetime, in some cats.\n\nGastric Helicobacter felis, Helicobacter heilmannii, and rarely, Helicobacter pylori infection. The method by which this infection is transmitted remains unknown, but because of its higher prevalence in shelter cats, oral and/or fecal transmission is considered a possibility. This assumption is supported by the presence of Helicobacter-like organisms, called GHLOs, in the vomit, feces and saliva of animals that have been infected. There is also some suspicion that the bacteria may be transmitted by water, as GHLOs have been found in some surface waters.\n\nEstablishing a definitive diagnosis of Helicobacter infection is difficult in most instances. Your veterinarian will perform a complete physical examination with routine laboratory tests including a complete blood count, biochemistry profile, and urinalysis. Your veterinarian may also take a sample from stomach wall and stain it with May-Grünwald-Giemsa, Gram, or Diff-Quik stains, which can easily demonstrate the presence of this organism by making it visible under microscope.\n\nAn endoscopic examination is of great help for direct observation of the stomach walls as well as for taking tissue samples for further processing. This procedure uses a device called an endoscope, a camera situated at the end of a flexible tube, which is threaded into the stomach through the esophagus. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is often used both to confirm the presence of Helicobacter in a given sample and to differentiate between the species of Helicobacters. However, confirmation can also be done by taking a tissue sample using the endoscope and observing the sample through microscope.\n\nNote that the presence of gastric Helicobacters in the body do not necessarily indicate an infection that needs to be treated."

"This charming breed makes an excellent companion, while it is also used by many farmers to control vermin such as mice and rats. The talented Border Terrier has a number of different skills including tracking, hunting and performing tricks.\n\nThe Border Terrier was first bred in the Cheviot Hills, which is situated near the border between Scotland and England. This is believed to be one of the oldest types of terriers in the United Kingdom and it was originally used by farmers to kill foxes. The small size of the Border Terrier made it ideal for digging into fox dens and driving them out to kill the foxes. While compact, the breed is large enough to keep up with horses on a hunt and was also used to hunt animals such as otters, rats, mice and martens. The breed was recognised in 1920 by the British Kennel Club, while recognition from the American Kennel Club followed in 1930.\n\nThis small and medium-boned dog has a narrow body and shoulders with a relatively wide space between its eyes. The short muzzle is usually dark and features a moderately broad stop and a black nose. The strong teeth have a scissors bite, while the dark, v-shaped ears are set on the sides of the head. The legs are straight, while the tail is medium in size and thick at the base, tapering as it reaches the end. The coat is short, dense and wiry and is usually red, light brown or tan with white patches on the chest.\n\nThis breed is alert and bold as well as being extremely agile. The Border Terrier loves playing with children and its affectionate and mild-mannered temperament makes it the ideal companion for children and other family members. The Border Terrier tends to be eager to please their owners, which makes them particularly easy to train. Although the breed is prone to barking they are not aggressive and can provide a good early warning system against intruders. Puppies can be skittish, so it is important to make them accustomed to loud noises early so that they do not become timid. This breed needs to be socialised well to avoid its shy nature from coming forward. Due to its hunting instinct, the Border Terrier should not be left alone with household pets such as rodents and birds.\n\nThe Border Terrier is prone to a recently recognised health condition called Canine Epileptoid Cramping Syndrome, which is also known as Spike’s Disease.\n\nThis breed can live in an apartment if it receives regularly exercise and is fairly inactive when indoors. Because the Border Terrier likes to dig, it is important to fix the bottoms of fences with additional support to prevent dogs from digging out of gardens.\n\nThe Border Terrier requires a lot of exercise each day, including a long walk or run. The breed has a long of stamina and thrives when active. The dog’s wiry, durable coat requires weekly brushing as well as professional grooming twice a year. Because the Border Terrier hardly sheds it is a good dog for people who suffer from allergies."

"Frank Rinn, Heidelberg, Germany\nLike trees, palms can deteriorate internally at the stem base from fungal decay, coming from the roots or bud. But visual detection is far more limited because palms do not show secondary growth and hence there is no outer response wood indicating compensation for strength loss due to internal decay. Tapping with a mallet thus is the first option to enhance defect detection. However, because of the bark structure and the internal mechanical design of palms, only extremely hollow stages [of decay] (more than 90%), may be detected through resonant sound reaction of the stem.\n\nBecause of the limitations of visual inspection and tapping with a hammer, technical devices can be of great help to detect the earlier stages of internal decay in palms. In principle, sonic tomography is able to detect internal decay in palms too, but due to the mechanical architecture of palm stems, only big cavities or decay pockets can be detected reliably. This is because the high-density outermost areas of palm stems lead the sonic waves around the naturally soft center, and the difference in stress-wave speed between the naturally soft center of palms and decayed wood is quite small.\n\nBecause sonic tomographs usually detect and measure the apparent speed of the first incoming wave, they generally do not detect any signals from the very soft center of palms (and some conifers, too). Therefore, conventional sonic tomography is not the most appropriate method for decay detection in palms and usually fails to detect incipient central decay.\n\nAlthough resistance drilling is not completely non-destructive, it can help inspecting palms. Resistance drilling was originally developed for measuring latewood density of oak tree rings in order to reconstruct past climate (Rinn 1988). As a welcomed side-effect, the ability to detect defects in trees and timber was observed (Rinn, 1989). The first series of devices was sold to scientists and tree- and timber experts for testing suitability in 1987.\nResults clearly showed that the key condition for evaluating the capability of the method for inspecting trees, timber structures and poles is to reliably measure and reveal wood density (Görlacher & Hättich 1990). Because of that, early versions of the resistance drills of 1984 with a spring-driven recording mechanism were abandoned because they did not allow for the reliable measurement of wood density: the profiles either over-tune in resonance or were flat-damped and did not show both the real levels and the real variation of the wood density.\n\nIn the naturally soft center of conifers or palms, such profiles often dropped down to zero although the wood was intact. In the soft sapwood of broad leaf trees they [resistance drills] often showed an expressionless plateau that is often misinterpreted as sapwood-decay. In narrow tree rings, the profiles often varied from zero to maximum scale, over- and underestimating the real values, making it impossible to interpret the result. Thus, both sensitivity and resolution did not fulfill basic requirements that a reliable measurement tool has to meet. Consequently, electronic regulation and recording was developed and shown to be critical and mandatory for obtaining profiles that can reliably be interpreted in terms of wood condition (Rinn 1990). Because of that, only resistance drills with electronic regulation and recording reveal wood density and its changes correctly (for details see: Basics of typical resistance-drilling Winter 2012).\n\nFungal decay in palms often arises from the base, originally coming from the roots. To detect this type of decay, drilling is usually carried out at the base of the stem, mostly horizontally as shown here, using a cordless resistance drill. The profile is printed simultaneously in 1:1 scale on a mobile printer connected to the machine via Bluetooth. It is very important to immediately interpret the profile on the spot and determine its meaning for the evaluation of the stability of the palm. Later, in the office, all the surrounding parameters that may influence the profile are not present. If the interpretation is not clear, an additional drilling may be required. All this can only be done efficiently on the spot.",

"Interestingly, in coconut palms (Cocos nucifera), often approximately 1/3 of the radius shows a significantly higher density. This seems to be a mechanical design rule for plants of this architecture, weight distribution and wind load pattern. Real date palms (Phoenix dactylifera) often only show 1/10 of the radius with a significantly higher density. Other phoenix palms may show a nearly constant density level across the whole diameter of the stem.\n\nSometimes the profiles are symmetrically shaped, sometimes one side of the stem is higher in density than the other. The reasons for this are not yet fully understood, but may be correlated to the lean of the stem and prevailing wind direction. In all profiles from intact palms, the curves were found to oscillate along the whole drilling path. However, the magnitude of the density variations can be slightly smaller in the center.\n\nDecay is detected mainly by identifying profile changes in comparison to the typical pattern. If the density variations are significantly smaller, this indicates incipient decay, if they are absent and the profile level is lower, the decay is advanced. A flat and significantly lower line mostly indicates a void or completely decomposed wood.\n\nIf an inspector is unsure whether a profile at the base of a palm shows decay, a reference drilling further up the stem (in the same direction and angle) helps finding the natural density variation pattern to compare with.\n\nCentral fungal decay in palm stems mostly leads to profiles with significantly smaller oscillations and a lower mean profile level. Total decomposition would lead to a severe drop of the profile and a nearly flat line.\n\nDue to the grade of the missing density variations, different levels of deterioration can be distinguished, such as incipient (yellow) and advanced (red).\n\nPalms do not show the same reaction pattern to decay as other trees, described by Shigo in the CODIT model (Shigo 1979). However, experiences from repeated measurements indicate that the slope of the drilling resistance profile from decay to intact sections seems to represent the radial extension rate of the internal deterioration: the steeper the slope from decay to intact, the slower the radial extension rate.",
null,
"Thick bark is not decay!\n\nThe thickness of the bark can vary significantly, even on the same palm, so it has to be carefully distinguished from potential (external) decay. The profiles shown here were measured on one single Phoenix palm that was not pruned for many years, thus in some areas there were many old fronts to drill through. It is important that such profiles are not misinterpreted as showing decay. This emphasizes the need for direct interpretation of the obtained profiles on the spot. Later, back in the office, the knowledge about the thickness of the bark or fronds is difficult or impossible to reconstruct. Without this knowledge, is is impossible to reliably interpret such profiles.",

"Complaints about the skyrocketing number of incidents of Muslim students bullying* their peers along religious lines have been waged by teachers in the schools of Berlin, Germany, that have the highest-concentration of Islamic migrants.\n\n*Bullying is often translated from the German as “mobbing”",
null,
"One News NowGerman school official mentioned numerous threats, beginning with trivial issues such as Muslims students warning that Islam forbids pork when bullying non-Muslims for bringing their ham sandwiches to the school cafeteria at lunch.\n\nIn another case, two siblings, an 11-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl were reportedly beaten up and threatened that they should never try and play outside again after the Muslim children saw them eating gummy bears which contain pork gelatin.",
null,
"CBN The headmaster of a German school in Frankfurt am Main told the mother of a student she should dress her daughter in a hijab, or Muslim head covering, so that Muslim students would stop bullying the girl. The woman told the German newspaper Bild, “My daughter was so massively bullied in her school by Muslim girls that we had to take her out of school for protection.",
null,
"A six-year-old girl, the only German speaker in her entire class, was viciously beaten by Muslim migration-background pupils and even cut with a sharp object, Focus reports. The bullying echoes other reports in German schools where teachers complain of “religious bullying” mostly from Muslim students towards non-Muslims.\n\nAnother Berlin school, Schoeneberg Spreewald Elementary School, has a 99 percent Muslim migration-background population, and incidents of violence are so high that the school was forced to hire security guards as violence was directed towards both children and teachers."

"Amazing design isn’t just for us humans. What about the cats who want a toy to play with like the new pretty iPhone? Nobody is really trying to make a cat’s playtime as enjoyable as possible.\n\nWHERE IS THE CAT TOY DISRUPTION?\n\nWell, it’s here. Since I’m the resident cat reporter at TechCrunch, I’ve found the new hotness. The “Obi” bills itself as a “smart laser toy for cats.” I can hear the meows of joy already. The Kickstarter for Obi has already raised $17,220, but is aiming to nab $120,000 total over the next 28 days. With all of us cat people out there, I think it will with ease.\n\nWhat sets the Obi apart from regular laser toys? Glad you asked. Watch this video and I’ll catch you after the jump:\n\nLike any cutting-edge cat toy, you’ll need an iPhone or iPad to control the device. It’s sexy enough to put on a table or fireplace, so don’t worry about hiding it from guests. The Obi app lets you do manual lasering like we’re used to, or can do a pre-programmed light show of sorts. The manual mode is quite magical, since it turns your device into a track pad, and the laser follows your every movement.\n\nJokes aside, the group working on Obi, Studio Neat, cares about design and performance, sharing in-depth details about their production plans and also talking about them on a podcast.",
null,
"I chatted with Tom Gerhardt of Studio Neat about the Obi project:\n\nTC: What made you want to make this?\nTG: A couple reasons: My co-founder Dan got a cat about a year ago and quickly realized he needed a way to keep him (Mr. Littlejeans) entertained throughout the day. So, he bought all the automated cat toys out there and tried them out. Some worked ok, some were just plain bad, and all were kinda ugly, or at least weren’t objects you’d want laying around your house all the time. So, we started exploring if we could make something that would really fulfill a need.\n\nIn terms of the podcast, we’re making it because we think there’s an important story to tell about the change that’s happened in the past few years with indie hardware becoming more accessible. We’ve told that story many times through past Kickstarter campaigns, but we’ve always wanted to provide a deeper look inside. The podcast we’re producing along with Obi will chronicle the entire process. We predict it will be a rollercoaster of wins, nervousness, and problems. We’re going to really pull back the curtain.",
null,
"TC: Do you think that lasers annoy cats or do they like it?\nTG: Hard to know exactly. If only we could voyage into the mind of a cat. One thing is for certain: they must be chased at all costs. Even if it is a love-hate relationship, I’m sure a little laser dot friend beats being home alone all day.\n\nTC: Are you planning on doing any other pet toys? Say…for dogs?\nTG: We are! After looking into the world of pet products we see lots of opportunities. Weirdly the pet toy/accessory market seems to have been ignored by thoughtful design and we think we can make a mark. When you think about it, our pets are such an important part of our lives, it seems crazy that they don’t have awesome stuff too.\n———-\n\nThe team notes that you might not want to use Obi while playing with your dogs, since they tend to get ridiculously obsessed with laser toys. It’s fine for the kitties, though."

"Maverick Vinales says he is “very sad” the 2021 MotoGP season is ending this weekend as his campaign “started very late”, referencing his switch from Yamaha to Aprilia.\n\nThe Spaniard made a winning start to 2021 in the Qatar GP on the factory Yamaha, but struggled from that point on, with the relationship between both parties breaking down irreparably over the ensuing months.\n\nVinales was dropped by Yamaha mid-season following a suspension from the Austrian Grand Prix after he was found to have deliberately tried to damage his M1’s engine in the Styrian GP – something he said was a result of frustration boiling over.\n\nThe nine-time MotoGP race winner ended up at Aprilia from the San Marino GP onwards, making steady progress in adapting to the RS-GP and scoring a best of eighth in the Emilia Romagna GP.\n\nWhen asked by Motorsport.com ahead of this weekend’s Valencia GP how he would sum up his chaotic 2021 season, he said: “I have to say that I’m sad that the season is finishing, honestly.\n\n“I’m very sad, I wanted to continue racing. Yeah, my season started very late, honestly, and I think it’s a season to learn.\n\n“We have to learn everything. So, I learned quite a lot, I take the things in a different way and that’s important.\n\n“So, we have to keep working. We have a very nice challenge, so I hope December passes very fast and we are in February [soon] so we can get on the bike.”",

"After his first test on the Aprilia at Misano in late August, Vinales said it was the happiest he’d ever been in his grand prix career.\n\nWhen asked if he was happier at the end of 2021 than he was at the start back in March when he won a race, he added: “Yeah, I’m very happy honestly, in life and here in the paddock, which is always good.\n\n“Many things happened, but in the end I can race, I can be on a great factory and a great team and this is the most important thing for me right now.”\n\nRossi: Becoming an “icon” in MotoGP “the best thing of my career”"

"Twas the night before Christmas, And all through the fleet\nJust the midwatch was stirring, The rest were asleep\nTheir boon dockers are strewn, all over the deck\nIf Santa tripped on them, he might break his neck\n\nThe sailors were nestled, All snug in their bunks\nAnd dreaming of PI, And a good three day drunk\nThe CO in his stateroom, the XO on the bridge\nAnd the Command Master Chief, out raiding the fridge\n\nWhen up on the foc’sle, I heard something thump\nSo grabbing my white hat, from my rack I did jump\nUp the ladder from berthing, I flew like a flash\nCranked open the hatch, and down the deck dashed\n\nThe moon on the haze gray and brasswork did glow\nAll sparkling and white like a Mt. Fuji snow\nAnd what should I see, though my eyesight seemed dim\nBut a horse bedecked jeepney, with eight LBFMs\n\nWith a little old driver, with a beard long and white\nIt was old Santa Claus, on his Christmas Eve flight\nMore rapid than A-18 Hornets they came,\nHe squeezed all their asses and called them by name\n\nNow, Judith! Now Marites! Now May and Irene!\nOn Mary! On Anna! On Grace and Aileen!\nTo the top of the mast, and down to Shaft Alley\nLet’s spread Christmas cheer, now rally, girls, rally!\n\nAs sea spray before the wild typhoons do fly\nWith waves so tall they seem to reach to the sky\nAnd so to the flight deck the bright jeepney flew\nWith a load of Pinays, and St. Nicholas too\n\nThen I heard a sound, so subtle and sweet\nThe flapping of flip-flops on little brown feet\nAs I gathered my wits and was looking around\nDown the smoke stack, St. Nick and the girls all did bound\n\nHe was wearing Bermuda shorts, lei, and some sandals\nWith a Hawaiian shirt that showed his love handles\nHe carried a cooler of cold San Magoo\nAnd another of Kirin, (it might have been two)\n\nHe fired up his pipe (the smoking lamp was not lit.)\nBut old Westpac Santa did not give a shit\nFor though Santa kept track of the naughty and nice\nHe has been caught breaking the rules once or twice\n\nTo each berthing compartment, traversed Santa and team\nFor each sailor left gifts, (and a few pleasant dreams)\nFor Santa knew sailors were their own special breed\nAnd he knew how to fill, their specialized needs\n\nThe good sailors got mojo, the naughty, balut\nBut he left San Miguel for the whole fuckin’ crew\nThen he called all the girls and hugged them all together\nAnd winking their eyes, up they flew like a feather\n\nThey piled in the jeepney, he gave one last whistle\nAnd away they all flew like the down of a thistle\nBut I heard his voice on the old 1MC\nMerry Christmas to all, Commence Holiday Routine!"

"THIS GAME WILL DETERMINE: Which school gets to keep the “Battle for the Belt” trophy — an actual professional wrestling style championship belt — in its trophy case for the next year.\n\n1. Can South Alabama stay in the game early?\n\nThe Jaguars have gotten off to better starts in their last two games vs. ULM and Georgia Southern, but Troy is a much more talented team than either of those two. South Alabama will have to score early to keep this one from getting away in the first half.\n\n2. How effective will Troy QB Kaleb Barker be?\n\nBarker is officially listed as questionable after leaving the Missouri game Oct. 5 due to injury, but neither the nature of his injury nor its severity is entirely clear. Troy has put up big yards and points throwing the ball this season, but it’s hard to say how much it will be able to do through the air if Barker is less than 100 percent.\n\nThe Jaguars hit three big plays in the passing game — two of them for touchdowns — against Georgia Southern in a double overtime loss Oct. 3, but probably should have gone deep on a few other occasions. Quarterback Cephus Johnson seems to have gained some confidence throwing downfield, and might try to loosen up Troy’s secondary early and often.",

"South Alabama looking for a win in ‘odd’ rivalry with Troy\n\nRoad team has won all 4 in ‘Battle for the Belt’\n\nSouth Alabama RB Tra Minter vs. Troy LB Carlton Martial: The Jaguars will try to establish the running game behind the explosive Minter, while Martial — a Mobile native — is the Trojans’ most sure-handed tackler.\n\n0-4 — Home team’s record in the South Alabama-Troy game since 2015, the year the “Battle for the Belt” trophy was adopted."

"Deal is one of Iraq largest energy signings, to bolster much-needed electricity production",
null,
"The 25-year project is Iraqs largest energy deal to date\n\nIraq\nsigned a final $17bn deal with Royal Dutch Shell and Mitsubishi on Sunday to\ncapture flared gas at southern oilfields, a project that should boost production\nof badly needed electricity.\n\nThe\n25-year project, one of the largest Iraq has signed with foreign energy firms,\nis meant to help harness more than 700 million cubic feet per day of gas being\nburned off at southern fields and will ultimately handle 2 billion cubic feet\nper day, officials said.\n\n\"This\nday represents a historic change in the Iraqi oil industry ... the best utilisation\nof (associated) gas to meet the increasing needs for gas in Iraq,\" Luaibi\nsaid at a signing ceremony attended by Shell Chief Executive Peter Voser.\n\nOPEC\nmember Iraq has signed a series of deals with foreign oil companies to\nmodernise its energy industry after years of war and economic sanctions.\n\nIts\nofficial goal to raise production capacity to 12 million bpd by 2017 would\nvault it into the top echelon of global producers, although officials say 8\nmillion bpd capacity is more realistic.\n\nIncreased\ncrude production is expected to bring huge increases in associated gas output\nand Iraq may soon produce more gas than it can use, opening up the possibility\nof gas exports.\n\nThe\nShell deal will involve the creation of the Basra Gas Co joint venture, in which\nthe government will hold 51 percent, Shell 44 percent and Mitsubishi 5 percent.\n\nThe\nproject aims to capture gas at Iraq's workhorse field, Rumaila, as well as\nZubair and West Qurna.\n\nIntermittent\nelectricity is one of Iraqis' major complaints against their government. Power\nsupply is about half of demand.\n\nThe\ngoal of 2 billion cubic feet per day capacity is linked to peak production at\nthe southern fields, which is expected by 2017, said Deputy Oil Minister Ahmed\nal-Shamma.\n\n\"We\nexpect within a year to complete all the preparation to process 1 billion cubic\nfeet. The other 1 billion cubic feet will depend on the increasing production\nfrom the three oil fields,\" Shamma said.\n\nThe\nproject may include the construction of an LNG export facility with a maximum\ncapacity of 600 million cubic feet per day. Exports are possible once Iraq's\ndomestic needs are met.\n\nThe\nproject needs investment of $17.2bn, officials said, including $12.8bn to\nrehabilitate existing facilities and build new ones, and $4.4bn for the LNG\nexport unit.\n\nThe\nShell-Mitsubishi partnership expects an internal rate of return on the project of\n15 percent on an initial investment of $6.98bn, while SGC plans to put in $3.7bn\nof public funds initially and fund the rest through gas sales.\n\n\"We\nat Shell, together with our partners, will now start, after this signing, the\nwork so that we can actually bring further electricity to the country, but also\nover time further revenues by bringing Iraq into the export business of\ngas,\" he said.",

In the meanwhile, i can run around the apartment and post some oldies:",

"Passenger service on the Max will begin December 9 on domestic routes from Sao Paulo, the airline said in a statement late Monday. Gol has trained 140 of its pilots in the US, using simulator sessions and a new curriculum approved by the Federal Aviation Administration and ANAC, Brazil’s regulator, in the wake of two fatal Max crashes.\n\nBoeing’s best-selling jetliner is due to make its return in the US almost three weeks later when American Airlines Group Inc. relaunches Max service on flights connecting Miami with New York. Boeing is also closing in on another milestone, the first post-grounding delivery of a Max plane, with a handover to United Airlines Holdings Inc. likely this week.\n\nThe moves will enable the Chicago-based planemaker to crank up a critical commercial machine after racking up about $20 billion in costs from the Max accidents, which prompted the longest aircraft grounding in US history and sparked federal investigations and scores of lawsuits. Boeing redesigned key flight-control software after the crashes, which killed 346 people.\n\nWhile Boeing has warned that it faces another year of losses brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, its shares have soared 65% since the end of October, buoyed by Max’s return and vaccine progress. That was the biggest gain during the period on the Dow Jones Industrial Average.\n\nWhile Gol didn’t specify which destinations the Max would serve from Sao Paulo, the airline’s website said flights to Porto Alegre, Curitiba, and Rio de Janeiro are among those that may be operated by the model.\n\nAbout 43 million National Identity Numbers have\n\nThe Rivers State Ministry of Education, in"

"“Okay, if you’re a JTAC please raise your hand.”\n\nAs Major John Ronayne looked around the group he was addressing, a handful of soldiers raised a hand.\n\n“Great, I’ve just saved you the trouble of telling each of us you’re a JTAC,” the Deputy Director Practice added with a good-natured laugh.\n\nThe 25 assembled American, Australian and British soldiers, including the four joint terminal attack controllers (JTACs), chuckled along and acknowledged the JTAC reputation for self-promotion.\n\nWhile they carry that reputation, the reality on the ground for the JTACs during Exercise Talisman Sabre (TS21) was very different.\n\nIn a humble, deliberate display of professionalism, forward observers and JTACs coordinated the delivery of air and naval munitions from Japanese, American and Australian vessels, as well as United States Marine Corps (USMC) and Australian Army aviation onto Townshend Island in the Shoalwater Bay Training Area.\n\nUSMC Captain Kurt James succinctly summed up his role: to release the ordnance from the aircraft to the target, something that was made easier because of the expertise of his counterparts.\n\n“I do appreciate the witty banter from the British and Australian side, but as far as our tactical and technical proficiencies, I think we are very similar,” Captain James said.\n\nThose similar operating procedures go a long way towards helping soldiers navigate this unique training opportunity – talking to personnel from ships and aircraft from different nations with operators who speak with unfamiliar accents.\n\nEnhancing that interoperability between allies is one of the primary goals of TS21.\n\nRoyal Artillery Gunner Sam Rees, who is from Wales and attached to 40 Commando, Royal Marines, for TS21, took full advantage of the opportunity to train with allied nations.\n\n“Training with naval gunfire, which I don’t think I’ll have the opportunity to do again, was really good. I really enjoyed it,” Gunner Rees said.\n\n“It was different from what I normally do.\n\n“It was good working with the different nations out there, to see how they do things differently.\n\n“I was calling in the missiles and the rockets on the helicopters yesterday – I’d say it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”\n\nAnother exciting opportunity to promote interoperability was sampling each other’s rations and conducting detailed comparison of US jalapeño cheese spread and Australia’s Bega cheese in a can.\n\nAnd Gunner Rees’ final verdict of the Aussie ration pack?\n\n“Amazing! I’m gonna take some with me for the next exercise,” he said.",

"I don't feel confident reviewing this slim brilliant epistolary memoir because what does a moderately well-educated white lady such as myself have to add to the conversation being had by people with greater wisdom and nuance than I have at my command. But I review what I read, and like so many others was profoundly affected by Coates's coming-of-age in racist America story.\n\nI referred to the book as \"slim,\" not as a commentary on its contents, but because I didn't expect such a lauded masterwork to weigh in at 150 pages. I bookmarked more than 30 of them because of passages that moved me.\n\nMuch of the book is informed by the rash of non-indicted police murders of Black people. Coates laments that his son, after him, has to live in a world where Black bodies are at the mercy of \"despotic police.\" He talks about Black History Month lauding to captive students the Civil Rights Movement--freedom marchers, Freedom Riders, Freedom Summers and \"the glories of being beaten on camera\" and how \"[the marchers] seemed to love the men who raped them, the women who cursed them, love the children who spat at them, the terrorists who bombed them.\" He wonders, \"Why are they showing this to us? Why were only our heroes nonviolent.\" School seemed to be withholding information, and Coates doesn't want that for his 14-year-old son.\n\nThe book unfolds in three chapters, addressed to Coates's son, trying to help them both understand and cope with a world where the killers of Michael Brown go free. He goes on to talk about the trope of education as a means to freedom for Black people (yep, he acknowledges the women killed, too), rather than education being a reward itself for Black people, as it is for people of privilege.\n\nI don't want to choke this review with the 30+ passages that moved me, so I'll tease some of them in case you're not already convinced to read BtWaM:\n\nCoates himself has a friendquaintance from college who was murdered for no legitimate reason by a \"sword of American citizenry,\" as I suppose many Black people do, so while he's an intellectual and a talented writer, he's also and always writing as a broken-hearted human and as a father who wants, impossibly, to protect his son's heart. He paints the loss a parent feels by detailing the large and small acts and expenses that go into raising a child--school tuitions, carpools, lessons, games attended, sleepovers supervised, birthday parties thrown, family photos, holiday gifts given, private jokes, and dreams shared."

"Donegal manager Jim McGuinness says he 'trusts' his players to carry out his instructions against Dublin on Sunday.\n\nMcGuinness must devise a strategy to combat the all-attacking style of the defending champions in their All-Ireland semi-final in Croke Park.\n\nIn what is expected to be the most tactical game of the year, McGuinness says the game is \"one hundred per cent about football players\".\n\n\"We trust (players) to out and do a job,\" said McGuinness.\n\n\"Whenever we have passed the information on that we think is really important for the game, it's up to the players to make the decisions then.\n\n\"You give that information, they'll clarify it with you, and try to execute it to the best of their ability.\"\n\nMcGuinness, who led Donegal to a third Ulster title in four years last month, is unconcerned about being rated as rank 8/1 outsiders on Sunday, despite his team having been All-Ireland champions two years ago.\n\n\"We were underdogs in every single game in 2012, so that doesn't make a difference.\n\n\"Our approach is the same. It doesn't matter if (bookmakers) sit at a computer and say 'that's the number'.\n\n\"No one knows what goes on in our dressing room. You just have to get things right and put faith in the players.\n\n\"You could take it personally and you could use it. But this is about football, that's all.

"Quick review: 4.75/5 stars- SEE THIS MOVIE!! I love it. So much. The characters are well developed and fun. The plot is believable and still totally, “Aww, my feewings.” One of the best rom-coms to be released in recent years.\n\nThere will be spoilers. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.\n\nOk, first a confession. I love food movies. “Julie and Julia,” “Chocolat,” and “No Reservations” are always among my go-tos when I’m feeling down and need a little reassurance that life is beautiful and tasty.\n\nI also have a budding love (as does most of America) for the Indian aesthetic. “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” and “Million Dollar Arm” were both thoroughly enjoyable, and I can’t wait to review BEMH’s sequel in March.\n\nSo when you combine those two and set them in France and add Helen Mirren you have essentially created my ideal rainy day movie.\n\nThe characters are lovable from the very beginning and your heart goes out to them. You appreciate their capacity to adapt, move forward, and resourcefully deal with the conflicts in front of them.\n\nIf I had a place for improvement, I wish the film were just a little longer so as to develop the romance between Hassan and Marguerite a bit more. Also, if I may draw your attention to the poster, Helen Mirren’s character, Madame Mallory is not the main character. She is simply the biggest actor and therefore gets her lovely mug in the middle. I love Helen Mirren. And she does not disappoint in the film at all, but the advertisers could certainly be a bit more honest about the balance of the film, as well as give the due credit to Om Puri and Manish Dayal, who have become two of my new favs, and I hope to see them often in the future.\n\nManish’s portrayal of Hassan, the young man with the potential to be a great chef, is balanced and endearing. He is manly and a little arrogant, but not overpowering. He is deep and thoughtful and proud, but not so prideful as to close himself off to the possibilities around him. He is, simply put, one of the most sympathetic and well rounded male characters in a romance that I have ever seen. He makes me happy.\n\nThe fact that Marguerite, played by Charlotte Le Bon, doesn’t just fall all to pieces over him is wonderful. She likes him, she wants to be close to him, but she has her own ambitions and life before he ever comes to her small French town. In the end though she welcomes the chance to be his partner, in business and life. And it is beautiful to see them so well paired: independent, discerning, ambitious people who have realized their mutual passion for fine food and each other. It’s delicious. *rolls eyes at self, a little*\n\nAnd unlike other rom-coms where the balance between the romance and comedy can be iffy or forced, this is just brilliant. So much to laugh out loud about, but with real stakes in the plot and relationships of the characters. I never felt put off by a joke or felt like the romance was over the top or the comedy out of place. It was all harmoniously synchronized.\n\nSee this movie!! Own this movie! It is funny, it is heartfelt, it is clean, and my husband liked it, too.\n\nP.S. If you would like to ignore the following rant scroll no further. On the subject of awards: too often, way too often, those who are considered the gatekeepers- the ones handing out the shiny trophies- completely overlook the best performances, the best actors, the best writing, plots because they are too well, good. And by good I mean in an all around, decent, uplifting, and moral sense. When you walk away from a film feeling really pleased that you continue to be part of this little planet, chances are that film will get snubbed. I cannot begin to imagine all the reasons why, but a large one seems to be that those in charge of telling us what is award worthy have been chewing on edgy and dark for so long they have lost their sense of taste. The more I live my life, the more I appreciate good drama that doesn’t rely on the graphic, vulgar, and obscene. I respect great acting wherever it is found, but turning aside some of the best acting in the biz for the sake of seeming trendy and “on,” only proves that the gatekeepers have forgotten how to do their job. They are no longer the discerning folk to be trusted with handing out the medals. Yes, Helen Mirren was nominated for a golden globe as best actress in a comedy, but I’m not sure she deserved that particular nomination, especially given that Puri and Dayal’s acting was superior (in my opinion) and neither of them were acknowledged. Moreover, as it so often does, the Academy turned a blind eye to “The Hundred-Foot Journey” entirely, along with “Belle” and “The Good Lie.” (Not to mention about a dozen others that seemed right up the Academy’s alley, but no go.) I guess what I am saying here is that I would like to see moral films, uplifting films, performances that make us better people win. I want, as I always do, the good guys/gals to win. And if they can’t win, they should at least have a horse in the running. Rant over for now."

"Decolonisation in India Howard Brasted That Britain played any positive role in dismantling the Raj and setting up in its place the sovereign states of India and Pakistan, is now almost totally discounted in the historiography of decolonisation in India. It was only in the warm aftermath of independence that part of that story was defined in terms of British imperial planing. This version, concentrating on British administration and achievements, had India being practically wet-nursed to freedom through a series of progressive, graduated, constitutional stages. Thus, when the settlement of 1947 finally arrived, it was presented as a long-standing rather than a last-minute destination, the culmination rather than the confounding of British rule. It followed that power was actually transferred to India and Pakistan as an act of statesmanship. A counter version, identifying an all embracing Indian nationalism as the major factor undermining the colonial order, had the Indian people being led out of bondage by means of orchestrated, mass agitation. Accordingly, constitutional concessions were wrested from a parsimonious and reluctant empire; they were never freely given. It was only when faced with total administrative collapse and the prospect of being bodily thrown out that the British decided to cut their losses and run. ...read more.\n\nShould indigenous government begin to threaten British interests, the Viceroy's veto might be invoked to protect them. Indeed, no major British statesman in the depression era believed that there would be a full transfer of power within their life-times, let alone the next decade. With a clear itinerary and timetable of de-commission blurred, so by extension was any ideological commitment to the goal of Indian freedom. If the Conservatives, who dominated government in the interwar years, were shown predominantly framing answers to the Indian Question with an eye to keeping British hands firmly on the 'gears' of India, J. A. Gallagher's somewhat cynical theory of 'interpenetration' proceeded to associate the Labour Party with much the same priority. Socialists were just closet Tories, surreptitiously rather than openly committed to shoring up imperial control. Conjuring up the notion that a broad bipartisan agreement was reached about retaining a foothold in India Gallagher proceeded to pass off independence as a 'new technique' designed to contrive this. That Labour's brand of devolution was really imperialism camouflaged, was taken further by Anita Inder Singh who espied in the Attlee government's negotiating strategy a devious bid to secure the 'very survival of Pax Britannica'. With the possible exception of R. ...read more.\n\nAU this amounted to and became widely known at the time as Labour's 'ballot box' principle of 'democratic self-determination'. That Labour was not able fully to supply its method until 20 February 1947 had little to do with any alleged 'interpenetration' with the Tories or other presumed handicaps. It had everything to do with contingencies inspired by the war, the unamenability of Churchill during it and the diversionary tactics of Wavell after it. Proclaiming, despite constant briefings, that he did not know what Labour's itinerary was, the Viceroy persistently departed from to route Labour had long proposed to take; hence his dismissal. Even with such obstacles-Labour still managed to initiate the two most important moves that were made to bring about a settlement prior to the final breakthrough-the Cripps Offer of 1942 and the Cabinet Mission of 1946. Although these failed this had much less to do with ideological insincerity, hidden agendas or lack of commitment to ending the Raj, than with the intractability of communal discord. CONCLUSION To date most of the action has been focused on the Indian side of the field. But can the plays of Indian nationalism and Muslim separatism, important though they were, be fury appraised without reference to the specific initiatives Britain actuary took? Unless due regard is given to that aspect the story of decolonization is left unbalanced and incomplete. ...read more."

"Racing against a dust storm to launch a rocket while a timer loudly ticks down has a distinctly Interstellar vibe to it. I’m a lone astronaut, tasked with venturing to the Moon to discover why a crucial power transmitter and an entire colony have gone dark. The fate of the world rests in my hands and my hands alone. Like I said, Interstellar vibes. Deliver Us The Moon’s current-gen upgrade is here, ahead of the sequel’s September 27 launch date. Does it hit its mark, fall among the stars, or break up in orbit?\n\nThe main appeal of any puzzle game is, drum roll please, its puzzles. For the first half of the game, Deliver Us The Moon contains a variety of engaging obstacles that introduce new mechanics in ways that don’t feel like tutorialising – a hard feat for any game to pull off. From simple tasks like finding the code to a locked door, to more complex ones like reading the blueprints for rocket controls to safely launch into space, they perfectly tread the difficult line between satisfying and frustrating. Just before I’d let out a sigh because I couldn’t figure out how to proceed, something would click, making completion of the brain teasers all the more rewarding.\n\nPuzzles are greatly helped by Deliver Us The Moon’s stylised graphics and frequent perspective switches. Buttons are large and brightly coloured against metallic interiors, and swapping between first and third person helped to mix things up and keep me engaged.",
null,
"All the puzzles on Earth and in space introduce something new, be that a mechanic, tool, or simply the puzzle itself. Unfortunately, after a mission or two on the lunar surface, things start to feel repetitive. I had to align several towers over the course of two separate missions, and while there’s a quality of life feature that skips the climb down, it doesn’t stop the task from feeling more like a chore. It makes sense narratively, but it quickly stops being fun.\n\nThe story itself tells a solid sci-fi tale, a cautionary parable about the unsustainability of our mass consumption right now. That’s right, it’s political. Earth has been ravaged by humanity’s greed, but a temporary solution to our energy crisis exists on the Moon in the form of a rare helium isotope. A reactor and colony to work it are quickly assembled there, and everything seems hunky dory until one day, power stops being sent to the planet and the colonists go quiet.",
null,
"Most of the plot is unraveled through reading emails and notes, and listening to audio recordings. It’s a bit of a cliche method of storytelling at this point, but it gets the job done and works to reveal the more sinister events afoot. Where Delivery Us The Moon offers something new is in its use of recorded holograms that fill in for cutscenes. They’re a neat in-game replacement for flashbacks, and they add to the game’s sci-fi aesthetic brilliantly.\n\nThe central story about saving humanity from a crisis of its own making is well punctuated with more personal plot beats. Your mission commander is Claire Johansson, the protagonist for the sequel, Deliver Us Mars, and a woman whose father and sister are among the colony members I’m trying to get in contact with. Good sci-fi grounds itself in human issues, and Deliver Us The Moon knows this.",
null,
"Levels are interspersed with small details about people living on the space station or working in the colony, too. A small guitar, a telescope pointed at a dust-covered Earth, and a tea party made of teddies and helmets all paint a picture of the lives and concerns of the missing inhabitants.\n\nThe updated visuals and optimisation for current-gen consoles mean my cute robot companion does wonders to provide the facial expressions my helmeted protagonist can’t, and my avatar’s body language is used to great effect. Everything looks crisp, but this upgrade doesn’t go far enough. Some animations remain clunky, and platforming feels cumbersome at times.\n\nThe upgrade also wastes an opportunity to add some more emotion and narrative weight to the last mission. There’s a point fairly late in the story where it would make perfect sense for the player character to start talking, and as Disco Elysium – The Final Cut shows us, these upgrades can be used to improve more than just visuals and performance. This current-gen upgrade misses the mark, however, by not adding voice lines or fixing some janky animations and controls.",
null,
"Fortunately, a mysterious, often intense score is woven throughout the game and helps to elevate its story, heightening emotional stakes and tension. There are a couple of action scenes that left my heart racing and had me on the edge of my seat. One saw me getting sucked out into space and having to navigate a debris field searching for oxygen canisters so I didn’t suffocate. The beeping of my O2 tank and lack of clear direction through the detritus make it a thrilling sequence.\n\nDeliver Us The Moon is a wonderful puzzle game on Earth and in space, but the Moon itself fails to live up to its wondrous promise. While interesting puzzles are still sprinkled throughout, a sense of repetition creeps in and gets in the way of an otherwise enjoyable story. It’s not that it fails to hit its target, it just turns out the target isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.\n\nA review code was provided by the publisher for the purposes of this review."

"Another blow to Human Rights in Turkey\n\nEarlier this week, we called attention to a bill passed by the Turkish Parliament which effectively criminalizes administering emergency medical aid without government authorization.\n\nRead that first sentence again and you’ll have an sense of how Kafkaesque conditions in Turkey have become. Sadly, President Abdullah Gul signed the bill into law yesterday, January 17.",
null,
"As we noted in an earlier blog, there are already clear indications that authorities are already targeting medical personnel as part of their general crackdown after the Gezi Protests this past June. International organizations and the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the right to health had been highly critical of the bill.\n\nA brief article in the New York Times describes the concerns of human rights advocates:\n\nCritics contend that the law could be used by the police and prosecutors to intimidate and punish doctors and other medical workers for treating protesters wounded in demonstrations against the government, like those in Turkey last year. “Passing a bill that criminalizes emergency care and punishes those who care for injured protesters is part of the Turkish government’s relentless effort to silence any opposing voices,” said Dr. Vincent Iacopino, senior medical adviser at Physicians for Human Rights, one of the groups that had campaigned against the legislation. If convicted, violators could be imprisoned for up to three years and face fines of nearly $1 million.\n\nIn a press release, Physicians for Human Rights said:\n\nIn addition to violating international standards and medical ethics, the bill conflicts with the Turkish Penal Code, which makes it a crime for doctors to neglect their duty of providing medical care.\n\nAbdullah Gül, president of the Turkish Republic, today signed the bill into law. Medical professionals could be imprisoned for up to three years and fined up to approximately $985,000 for providing essential medical services. The bill will put doctors in direct conflict with their ethical and professional responsibilities to care for the sick and wounded. It is part of the Turkish government’s continuing effort to harass the medical community for treating those in need, including demonstrators injured during last summer’s anti-government protests."

"Donner talked about his start as an actor in New York and the career-changing moment when director Martin Ritt told him that he should work behind-the-camera and hired him as his assistant. Donner described his start as a director, working in commercials and documentaries initially for George Blake, then for his own company. He talked about his transition to Los Angeles where he directed commercials with the cast of I Love Lucy.\n\nHe talked about his work for several studios as a television director in the 1960s on such series as Wanted: Dead or Alive (with Steve McQueen), Wagon Train (in an episode guest-starring Bette Davis), The Loretta Young Show, The Hathaways (a series featuring three chimpanzees), Gilligan’s Island, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Fugitive, and, most notably, The Twilight Zone. Donner described the challenges of directing the memorable Twilight Zone episode ‘Nightmare at 20,000 Feet’, in which William Shatner sees a gremlin on the wing of an airplane.\n\nDonner described his early forays into feature filmmaking and his return to television each time, feeling that he was not ready to make the transition. He talked about working on such 70s projects as The Banana Splits Hour and the acclaimed television movie Sarah T.— Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic, before his breakthrough success in movies with The Omen. Donner then chronicled the development and casting of some of his most notable feature film successes, including Superman, Lethal Weapon, and The Goonies. He also spoke about his later work in television as a producer-director of the television series Tales From the Crypt.",

"Well James Franco has become the latest man to be accused of sexual harassment and there are now 5 women total that have come forward with allegations about Franco’s lewd behavior. Each of the female accusers attended Franco’s acting school, Studio 4. The women’s stories have been collaborated by multiple sources but Franco denies the women’s allegations.\n\nThe first allegations came out on Twitter after Franco won Best Actor for his portrayal of Tommy Wiseau in the The Disaster Artist. As the actor came up to accept his speech, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Franco was wearing a Time’s Up pin in solidarity of the movement to help end sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood. For some women, this caused some anger. Sarah Tither-Kaplan was one of those women.\n\nTither-Kaplan was a student of Franco’s at the acting school and is one of the 5 women who are accusing Franco of sexual harassment. She took to her Twitter account and blasted out tweets that expressed her disgust with Franco.",
null,
"Tither-Kaplan then did an interview with The LA Times where she elaborated her claims. She told the publication that, “I feel there was an abuse of power, and there was a culture of exploiting non-celebrity women, and a culture of women being replaceable.” She said that there was a particular incident that really upset her among other women at the acting school. She recounted a time where she was filming an on-screenorgy scene with both Franco and other women. She said that he removed protective plastic guards covering other actresses’ vaginas while simulating oral sex on them. The experience scarred Tither-Kaplan.\n\nA second woman, Violet Paley, also used her Twitter account to express her disgust with Franco wearing the Time’s Up pin. She tweeted, “Cute #TIMESUP pin James Franco. Remember the time you pushed my head down in a car towards your exposed penis & that other time you told my friend to come to your hotel when she was 17? After you had already been caught doing that to a different 17 year old?”\n\nPaley said told The LA Times that she and Franco has a consensual relationship but that there was a particular incident that happened that made her very uncomfortable. She said, “I was talking to him, all of a sudden his penis was out. I got really nervous, and I said, ‘Can we do this later?’ He was kind of nudging my head down, and I just didn’t want him to hate me, so I did it.” She then got out of the situation by telling Franco that she saw someone watching from another car.\n\nFranco’s attorney, Michael Plonsker, has disputed the women’s claims. Franco appeared on the Late Night with Seth Meyers and when asked about the tweets he said, “The [tweets] I read were not accurate. But one of the things I’ve learned is that this is a conversation that obviously needs to be had. There are people, women and others, who have not been a part of this conversation. And I truly believe they need to be part of this conversation. So that’s why I was wearing the pin and I support that.”",

"The station started as WWIL-FM in 1959. Until 1972, and after a call letter change to WSRF-FM in 1968, the station carried a beautiful music format. In 1972, the station flipped to an album rock format, branded as WSHE. Following its purchase by Paxson Communications in April 1996, WSHE dismissed all airstaff, dropped the rock format after 24 years, and began a 36-hour stunt loop of playing “Changes” by David Bowie, “Change” by Candlebox, and “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by R.E.M., while promoting a change to come at 1:03 p.m. on May 2. At that time, the station adopted a Modern AC format, first as “The New 103.5”, then as “Planet Radio” with new callsign WPLL. The first song as “The New 103.5” was “Steppin’ Out” by Joe Jackson.[3][4] Another format change by the station’s next and current owner, iHeartMedia (then called Clear Channel Communications), this time to the “Jammin’ Oldies” format, resulted in another call letter/branding change to WMGE, “Mega 103.5”, at Midnight on June 30, 1999.[5][6]\n\nThe station flipped to WMIB on December 31, 2002. For four years, WMIB was an Urban Contemporary-formatted station, with a stronger emphasis on hip hop. It was home to The Doug Banks Morning Show from its launch until late 2005, when it was replaced by The Star And Buc Wild Morning Show, which was cancelled in spring 2006.\n\nOn October 5, 2006, WMIB modified its urban format to serve an adult audience, and added the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show. On air personality Prince Markie Dee, from the group The Fat Boys, hosted the afternoon drive show. After two years as Urban AC, WMIB returned to Urban Contemporary in 2008.\n\nOn May 13, 2010, airstaffers at WMIB began posting on their Twitter pages that a format change was coming. Sources were reporting that WMIB would either flip to Talk or Spanish the following day.[7] On May 14, at Noon, after playing “Get Me Home” by Foxy Brown, the station flipped to Spanish Adult Contemporary as “103.5 SuperX”. The first song as “SuperX” was “Where Do You Go” by No Mercy.[8][9]\n\nOn October 11, 2013, at 11 a.m., after playing “Waterfalls” by TLC, the station stunted for an hour with Dance music as “Evolution 103.5”, a format carried by its sister station W228BY, before flipping back to Urban at Noon and returning to the “103.5 The Beat” moniker, this time with a hip-hop intensive playlist.[12] The first song after the relaunch was Waka Flocka Flame’s freestyle version of “U.O.E.N.O.” by Rocko.[13] On October 24, 2013, WSHE changed their call letters back to WMIB. As of November 2013, it became the affiliate of The Breakfast Club, based from sister station WWPR-FM in New York.",

"Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy… On the 4th of July 2018 our favorite Brass ‘n Grass band from Wichita released their 4th album or EP, it’s only 23 minutes long… I’ve been told this is the first part of a two piece EP release.\n\nIt was a long wait for all the fans as “Hatchetations”, the previous album was released in 2013. But it sure was worth the wait! If you have been following the band for years like I have, you have noticed that with each year passing their sound evolved into a more complex pallet without forgetting about their past. The straight forward “on stage party” was sometimes brutally interrupted by long and slow build-ups, creating a dark and eerie atmosphere. The brass section took a huge role in this and by doing so, the drunken party boy in the front would start scratching his confused head… “Is this a jazz show? I came here to party dude…” But oh Holy Crow, was he wrong!!!\n\n“Bowels & Constants”, the second song after the instrumental “Rümpletum” is the perfect example of the description above. The first two minutes of this five minute song is pure “scene setting”… Something is going to happen, it’s coming and I’m not sure if I want to be here to witness it… But I also don’t want to miss it! That is the feeling it gave me. The bass and vocals come in, a brass-section in the background, building up to the suspense… And then at the 3 minute and 15 second marker, like it was faith, There it is… The PARTY!!! The song erupts in a classic CNS tradition and it is marvellous!\n\nThe next one is ” All Men Created Equal” and I’m sure you have seen the video on youtube the guys made for this. (if not check below) I think we can say this is a typical Carrie Nation song, but for sure one of the best they have ever written. I can see crowds dancing and going wild on this one, I know I will, at the upcoming PICKING BONES festival in Belgium on the 21st of June. The band plays a headlining show that Friday.\n\nWe continue with “We All Believed” This must be the slowest and most depressive song the band has ever put on an album, and I mean this in a good way. This is angst, disbelieve and rebellion put together in one massive monolith of a song. Phenomenal!\n(for me this is not a song the band should play live, as much as I love it, this is a song to listen to at home, in the company of a good drink and a few dogs…)\n\nI like concept albums, yeah I know, I’m one of the few. The great part of most concept albums is that the songs flow into each other. And with “We All Believed” ending and flowing into “Trismegistus”, which is nothing more than an interlude to get to “Gnosis” it still does the trick!\n\nAnd with “Gnosis” we again get a song that the band is so known for. The perfect combination between string instruments and brass, up-tempo, great vocal parts, genius instrumentation and atmosphere! And all of this in under 4 minutes!\n\nI think it is fair to say that Carrie Nation & The Speakeasy, with this album, have outdone themselves and that it is clear to see for all what a talented band this is.\n\nGet the new album and shirts here:\nhttps://squareup.com/store/carrienation-and-thespeakeasy"

"One of the great pleasures of visiting Wild Card parks and reserves is looking up at the sky at night. Because protected areas are generally far removed from city lights, they offer unrivalled stargazing. In particular, wilderness areas such as the Cederberg, as well as parts of Kruger National Park and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, have almost no light pollution – perfect for astronomy. Protected areas in the drier northwest of South Africa are especially good for stargazing as the dry, clear air improves visibility. Just another reason to visit national parks such as Namaqua, Mokala, Augrabies, Kgalagadi and the Richtersveld.\n\nIf you want to make the most of your evenings in our parks and reserves, just look up. Spectacular starry skies are yours to enjoy for free. To make sure you don’t miss out on the most noteworthy sigtings, Wild called on Auke Slotegraaf, editor of Sky Guide Africa South 2017, to highlight the top celestial events.\n\nAstronomy lovers, mark these events on your 2017 calendar:\n\nThe Evening Star shows off",

"exactly what we’re gifted with in 2017. Venus is radiant in the west after sunset, visible each evening from January until early March, earning it the nickname Evening Star. Adding to the picturesque scene is the crescent moon, which lies near Venus at dusk on 1 and 2 January, as well as 31 January, 1 February, and 1 March. After March, Venus moves into the morning sky where it can be enjoyed as the Morning Star. During July, the tiny and rapidly-moving planet Mercury stands in as Evening Star. July is the best time this year to glimpse the little planet. On the evenings of 24, 25 and 26 July, the crescent moon joins Mercury at dusk.\n\nEclipse of the sun\n\nA solar eclipse – when the moon lies between us and the sun – shows off the dynamic nature of our solar system. On the afternoon of 26 February 2017, as seen from southern Africa and southern South America, the moon partially obscures the sun. The eclipse begins at 14:10 and ends at 19:36.\n\nSometimes, the Earth’s shadow falls on the moon, and a lunar eclipse can be witnessed. There is one such eclipse during 2017, on the evening of 7 August, but it won’t be particularly striking since the moon just skims the edge of the Earth’s shadow and the subsequent darkening is only slight.\n\nVisit the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa’s website for safe methods to view an eclipse.",

"The rising Full Moon looms low over the horizon, gently illuminating the landscape during twilight.\n\nWhen the Earth is located between the sun and the moon, we see the moon fully illuminated with sunlight, hence a full moon. On the day of a full moon, as the sun sets behind the western horizon, the moon is just rising above the eastern horizon. As the twilight deepens into night, the moon seems to loom above the eastern horizon, and is a great opportunity to have a good howl. For an even better view, look the day before full moon: the almost-full moon will then be above the horizon as twilight falls, presenting an excellent photo opportunity with enough light to capture terrestrial subjects with the moon in the background.\n\nBut be aware of the ‘moon illusion’! This sneaky optical illusion fools the mind into thinking the moon is much larger than it really is. Your camera, however, isn’t fooled at all, and on a typical photograph of the full moon low on the horizon, the moon appears much smaller than expected. To recreate the massive moon effect with a camera, use a powerful zoom lens and include a distant object in the frame next to the Moon: voila!\n\nAs the moon orbits the Earth, it follows an elliptical path, meaning that the distance to the Moon is constantly changing. It takes the moon about 27 days and 8 hours to complete a single orbit. Also, as the position of the moon and sun as seen from Earth changes, the moon appears to go through a cycle of shadow phases, from New to Full and back again. From one phase to the next is about 29 days and 13 hours. This combination of orbital period and cycle of phases – close but not exact – means that Full Moons don’t always happen at the same distance from the Earth. Sometimes the Full Moon is nearer to us than at other times. During 2017, the largest Full Moon is on 3 December and the smallest Full Moon is on 9 June.\n\nAgain, don’t be confused by the “moon illusion” – this effect only happens in your mind. The real size of the moon depends on how far away it is. Here’s an experiment: take a photograph of the Full Moon on 9 June, use the same camera settings on 3 December and take a second photograph. Compare them for yourself…\n\nThe Big Five of the African sky",

"Did you know you can also hunt for the Big Five of the African sky? These are the best examples of each celestial object type – star clusters, nebulae (gas clouds) and galaxies – visible from Africa. The five noteworthy specimens are the Southern Pleiades, omega Centauri (a giant star cluster), the eta Carinae Nebula, the Coal Sack (a nebula), and the southern Milky Way. They can all be seen with the naked eye from a dark site, are outstanding when seen using binoculars, and mind-blowing when observed through a telescope. All five can be seen in the morning sky during April, at midnight during June and in the evening sky during August.\n\nLearn more about the celestial Big Five and how to track them down.",

"EE is setting up what it claims to be the world’s first 4G connected smart tent on the site of this year’s Glastonbury Festival.\n\nThe operator is an official partner of the famous music festival which is being held from June 21 to June 25. The 4GEE Smart Tent is inspired by smart home technology and is designed to improve overall camping experience.\n\nFeatures include a mini fridge which tweets when stocks are running low, an entertainment centre showing live streams from all six stages, exclusive virtual reality (VR) content alongside a 4G hotspot operational between 10am and 10pm. Guests an also set the music using their voice.\n\nAccording to a survey from EE, a fully stocked fridge with unlimited drink is the most desired item at a festival. It is followed by a comfy bed and superfast internet connection. EE is offering one festival attendee and their friend a night’s stay on June 23. They will also be escorted to the Pyramid Stage to watch one performance from the side of the stage, alongside a brand new Google Pixel smartphone. Those interested must simply tweet the hashtag #4GEESmartTent between 9am on June 22 and 9am on June 23.\n\nEE director of communications and sponsorship Mat Sears said: “While camping is a massive part of any music festival, it’s not always the most comfortable experience, so we wanted to create a 4GEE Smart Tent that tested the latest tech-inspired comforts. The on-site 4G network we’re providing to Glastonbury revellers this year is the most powerful we’ve ever put in, and will help create the ultimate connected camping experience.”",

"Even though Bitcoin (BTC) has been moving upwards since Sept. 8, it has shown considerable weakness indicating that it is likely beginning a final wave down that could end at $9,700.\n\nAfter the losses seen during the week of Aug 31-Sept 7, the Bitcoin price consolidated last week. The price created a small Doji candlestick above the $10,000 area, which had previously acted as resistance since February and is now expected to act as support.\n\nTherefore, as long as the price is trading above this level, the current movement is considered a re-test of this support level.\n\nTechnical indicators are neutral, leaning slightly bearish. The MACD has started to fall but has not been confirmed with a bearish close. Both the RSI and Stoch RSI are above 50 and have a positive slope.",
null,
"The daily chart gives conflicting signs. While the price has been retracing since Sept 8, the upward move has been very weak. BTC has even failed to reach the 0.382 Fib level of the decrease at $10,681.\n\nHowever, technical indicators are bullish. The MACD has been moving upwards along with the RSI and Stoch RSI. The latter is possibly getting ready to make a bullish cross.",
null,
"The shorter-term two-hour chart shows a deviation above the minor resistance area at $10,400 and a fall back inside. This same area is now expected to act as resistance once more.\n\nCombined with the bearish divergence in the MACD and the fact that it has turned negative, this suggests that the price is likely to decrease.",
null,
"The price action on Sept 13 makes it likely that BTC has completed wave 4 (in orange below) and has now begun its final decrease with wave 5.\n\nEven though the price did not retrace significantly and failed to touch the 0.382 Fib level of the decrease, the fact that the movement is perfectly contained within a parallel channel and the impulsive decrease from late Sept 13 suggests the rally is likely finished.",
null,
"A closer look at the decrease shows that the price has possibly completed sub-waves 1 and 2 (orange) inside the previously mentioned wave 5.\n\nThe current price level near $10,370 has a strong Fib confluence with both the bounce and the previous decrease. It presents a very likely level for the rally to end and the price to resume its downward movement.",

"\nItalian police were searching the homes and businesses of known allies of mobster Matteo Messina Denaro on Thursday, looking for hidden bunkers where the fugitive godfather may be hiding.\n\nTwo hundred officers were executing search warrants in farmhouses and warehouses belonging to some 30 suspected gangsters in and around Castelvetrano, the mafia boss' hometown in Sicily, police said.\n\nThe suspects have either been named in wiretaps or singled out by mafia turncoats.\n\nInvestigators were looking in particular for hiding places in “grottoes, caverns or even bunkers inside buildings” where the man nicknamed “Diabolik” may be concealed, La Repubblica daily said.\n\nDenaro – once a trigger man who reportedly boasted he could “fill a cemetery” with his victims – has been on the run since 1993 and is believed to come and go regularly from the Italian island.\n\nThe 55-year old is considered the most powerful figure in Cosa Nostra, the real-life Sicilian crime syndicate depicted in the Godfather movies.\n\nHe is wanted for a string of crimes including dozens of murders.\n\nKnown for his ruthlessness, he also had a reputation as a womanizing playboy with a penchant for flashy cars. The last photographs of him in public circulation date from the early 1990s.",

"Despite being on the run, Denaro is thought to have succeeded notorious godfather Totò Riina, who died last month.\n\nIn 2015 police discovered he had been spurning modern technology to communicate with his men via the age-old method of “pizzini“, bits of paper containing messages, left under a rock at a farm in Sicily."

"If media reports are to be believed, Wendi Deng is the perfect vamp—stylish, sexy and shrewd. The 46-year old ex-wife of Media Moghul—Rupert Murdoch is (in) famous for being fiercely ambitious and is often cited as a classic example of ‘femme fatale’. Before meeting her famous ex-husband, the business woman of Chinese origin—Wendi Deng— was a student in the United States sponsored by an American couple named Jake and Joyce Cherry.\n\nAnd the next thing, you could know was that she had an affair with Jake right under the nose of his wife and soon Wendi Deng was married to the man 30 years older to her. Before she could explain the allegations of being a home wrecker, Deng made it to the news headlines as the third wife of super rich Rupert Murdoch. Soon. She was managing the multi-million dollar projects in the leading media house owned by her ex-husband. While enjoying the fortune of her then husband Murdoch, Deng also produced a movie in 2011.",
null,
"When everyone thought that Wendi Deng’s wedding to Rupert Murdoch was a dreamy one with ‘happily ever after’ ending, Tony Blair emerged into the picture from nowhere. In no time, Deng’s love notes to the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom were all over the place. Devastated Murdoch looked for a divorce lawyer as soon as he could.\n\nHowever, amidst all the hullabaloo, the news of Wendi Deng plastic surgery also spread like a jungle fire. Former Mrs. Murdoch didn’t miss the opportunity to transform herself with the help of expensive plastic surgeries and procedures. She used her fortune to alter the look from a simple student to the much-talked about business women.",
null,
"Controversial Wendi Deng is about to cross the half-century mark of her age, but can you trace a sign of aging on her face? We bet, you can’t? Botox and facelift are more than evident on Deng’s clear, smooth, unblemished face with the somewhat unnatural glow.\n\nThere are plenty of pictures doing the rounds in the media and internet from Deng’s university days. Compare them with the recent ones and you can see her eyes wider and more appealing now. Her Asian eyes are gone and it’s impossible to have more open eyes without undergoing the knife.\n\nAlthough, we suspect a nose job because a prominent nose is not a common feature in Chinese women, it must have done way before she hit the jackpot with Rupert Murdoch. In the recent pictures, the shape of her nose remains the same.\n\nWell, we don’t want to be judgmental about Wendi Deng and her ever-changing love for successful men, but it’s her unshakable confidence that defines, arguably, the most controversial businesswoman ever, not her face.",

"My compadres who work with me at the Chisholm Trail Antique Gun Association check-in table have asked me to compile a short tutorial on gun show etiquette. We understand you’re excited about going to the gun show and we are excited to see you.\n\nThose of us who work gun shows (not necessarily the sellers) have unique opportunities to interact with people, including some who might not normally visit a traditional gun shop, those who are regular patrons, and those who are visiting their first gun show and are new to the shooting sports.\n\nNo matter the experience level, though, people sometimes make mistakes, which, when firearms are involved, are deadly serious. Here are a few helpful tips from this side of the table.\n\nPreparation for the show\n\nIf you’re going to celebrate the Second Amendment and be surrounded by like-minded people, guns and gear that you might want to purchase, please do a few things beforehand.\n\nPlan to arrive as early as possible. Being early allows you the luxury of taking your time and enjoying yourself safely. Know the ticket price. Also, plan to take enough money with you for whatever you plan to buy (or for that impulse purchase). Most sellers take credit cards, but many vendors don’t.\n\nYou’ll find both private sellers and federally licensed FFL dealers at gun shows. They’re required to comply with federal law and state laws. Be sure to bring your ID for any required background check.\n\nEven if you aren’t planning to buy any goodies at the show, be sure to take enough cash for the entry fee, food and drinks. Remember, the price of drinks and food at any event will be significantly higher than it is at your local convenience store.\n\nFind out what rules the show you are attending may have. Is it OK to take photographs there? Are private sales among attendees allowed inside the show? Can you bring in outside food or drinks? This is especially important if you have health issues.\n\nDoes the show permit concealed or open carry? Either way, always remember the four universal rules of safe gun handling. They apply both at the check-in table and when you’re on the floor examining or dry firing guns.\n\nHere are a few things to know about the rules we have at the Chisholm Trail gun show, and they’re similar to the rules at most gun shows you’re likely to attend . . .\n\nIf you are planning to purchase something for your daily carry gun that will require you to unholster it, please bring it unloaded and not concealed on your person. Drawing a firearm from a holster from concealment at the check-in table or on the floor can cause unwanted concern and attention from the vendors or possibly law enforcement officers in attendance.\n\nConcealed firearms are just that – concealed. Don’t pull yours out at the check-in table. If you do, we will remove the magazine, zip tie the firearm and keep any loose ammunition.\n\nNo, you will not get the ammunition back; having thousands of people come through the doors each day, we don’t have the resources to catalogue and return your particular loose ammo when you leave.",
null,
"You’ll find both private sellers and federally licensed dealers at gun shows. Be sure to ask vendors before you handle or dry fire their guns. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)\n\nAgain, they must be unloaded. And again, we will confiscate any ammunition found in the firearm.\n\nWe will zip tie your openly carried firearm to ensure and render it safe. These are our rules and they aren’t up for debate or negotiation. Even event staff and vendors who open carry are required to follow this rule.\n\nFirearms to sell, trade, find accessories for, or get values/repair estimates: YES\n\nAs above, make sure the firearm(s) are completely unloaded. Use a chamber flag or have the action open, please.",
null,
"You can find that obscure item or just buy a new gun at your local gun show. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)\n\nLoose ammunition or loaded magazines: NO*\n\nOnly ammunition brought in the original box or aftermarket plastic cartridge box is allowed.\n\nHow to approach the check-in table with a firearm: action open, magazine empty and removed (when possible)\n\nFinally, please keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times. Do not muzzle other attendees or gun show staff. This is a major source of aggravation and incredibly dangerous.\n\nIt happens too often, and the offender always says, “But I know it’s unloaded.” That’s fine and dandy, but we on the business end of the muzzle do not know that until we actually check the firearm and render it safe (see above).\n\nAt least once every day (sometimes more) during the show, someone at the check-in table will he handed a loaded firearm.\n\nRecently, as a patron passed his handgun over to me for inspection, he muzzled me directly in the chest with his finger on the trigger. When I removed the magazine, it was unloaded. When I opened the chamber a live 9mm round popped out onto the table.\n\nHad he been startled and had a little too much pressure on that trigger, I might not be writing this. And no, you don’t get that round back. It now belongs to me. The loss of a single round of ammunition is a rather small price to pay for violating multiple rules of safe gun handling.\n\nIn short, follow the four rules of gun safety as well as your local gun show’s rules and a good time will be had by all. Roam the floor, haggle with sellers, buy some beef jerky and have a good time.\n\nAnd let’s be careful out there.\n\nMarlon is owner of Knapp Weaponry in Wichita, Kansas. He discovered the shooting sports and firearms at the ripe old age of four, thanks in part to his Uncle Rich, a Nebraska State Highway Patrolman, and Nebraska Game Warden. Marlon is former military and a current NRA and Kansas certified firearms instructor.\n\nThe Basics of Gun Show Etiquette From Someone Who Runs One"

"Is Dyatlov Pass in Siberia?\n\nYEKATERINBURG, Russia — Where is Siberia?",
null,
"The Ural Mountains are nowhere to be seen in Russia’s fourth-largest city, which sits to the east of the ridge that divides Europe and Asia. But this city considers itself the capital of the Urals, and not a part of Siberia.\n\nYou know the place: bears, vodka, oil, very big, awfully remote, once filled with political prisoners (and now home to some of Russia’s cutting-edge computer geniuses).\n\nBut where does it start?\n\nEncyclopaedia Britannica, for one, describes it as that vast region of Russia \"that extends from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east.\" That’s not quite right. At least not from the point of view of the 1.3 million residents of Yekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth-largest city, which sits just to the east of the range that divides Europe and Asia. Yekaterinburgers will tell you with tightly clenched teeth that they are in the Urals. Not. Siberia. I ran into this when I wrote a blog post about a \"Siberian bar\" in Yekaterinburg that had come up with humorous Russian translations for American cocktails. Facebook shuddered with the umbrage of Uralites (and I corrected the wording).\n\nBut no one could say for sure where Siberia does start. So I traveled to Yekaterinburg to find out, and this became a local news story. A camera crew from Malina.am, a Yekaterinburg television and news website, followed me around, trying to help explain the difference between Siberian and Urals culture.\n\nSiberia gets way more news coverage because it’s huge, comprising 74 percent of Russia’s land mass, according to Olga Guryevskikh, who teaches geography at the Ural State Pedagogical University. The Urals make up just 6 percent, but the region is also a famous brand — check the price of oil futures.\n\nWith that in mind, I made my first stop at a restaurant called Pelmeni Club, whose co-owner, Yelena Makusheva, served tasty samples of dumplings from Siberia and the Urals. The Siberian ones had exotic, frontier-sounding names such as \"Yamal Wild Deer\" (with real deer meat) and “Grandmother in a Kerchief\" (beef, pork and mutton). The Urals pelmeni were called \"Duck and Goose\" and \"Turnips With Mushrooms.\"\n\nThey all tasted good. Which ones did Makusheva prefer? And what did they say about regional cultures?",
null,
"One way to tell the difference between Siberia and the Urals is with pelmeni dumplings. The yellow ones on the left, made with carrots, duck and goose, are from the Urals. The ones on the right, pork, beef, and mutton, are from Siberia.\n\n\"There is no better or worse,\" she said, smiling. \"Siberian, Urals, we’re all Russians. The pelmeni are the best wherever we are.\"\n\nThis last could’ve been a philosophical statement, or it could’ve been a plug for the restaurant she and her partner have opened in the Siberian city of Tyumen. It was time to do an interview at the Malina.am TV studio.\n\nThe host, Olga Chebykina, brought in Guryevskikh, who took out a topographical map of Russia and, as the cameras rolled, pointed at the yellow section that indicated the Ural Mountains. On the map, that yellow yields to a sea of green that stretches east. Even though you can’t see the mountains in Yekaterinburg, the city is on the yellow part of the map. The green sea is Siberia.\n\nMaddeningly, that boundary did not match modern regional borders.\n\nI resolved to find that magical spot.\n\n\"You might be able to find the physical border,\" Chebykina said. \"But the border in the soul is hard to define.\"\n\nMarina Tchebotaeva, the down-to-earth general director of the Yekaterinburg office of a German water treatment company, tried to explain. The Urals, generally speaking, are populated by descendants of peasants who toiled at factories in the 18th century, when Peter the Great needed iron and copper to fight his wars, she said.\n\n\"The main characteristic of Uralites is the love of work,” Tchebotaeva said. “We have a lot of large factories, good engineers, and we really love to work and get good results.\"\n\nSiberia, on the other hand, was populated by explorers and pioneers, she said — Cossacks who built forts, and the traders and farmers who settled near them. \"Siberians have always been brave, freedom-loving and enterprising people,\" she said. \"They’ll never leave you by the side of the road. If your car breaks down, they’ll help you. Because if you’re stuck on the side of the road when it’s 22-below, you’ll never survive.\"\n\nAs she said this, the temperature outside was descending along with the weak, winter sun. It would hit 22 degrees below zero that night.\n\nTchebotaeva posted on her Facebook page about my quest, prompting reactions that aptly describe the state of U.S.-Russian relations.\n\n\"Why does he need to know?\" read one post. \"Maybe he’s trying to divide the country!\"\n\nAnother poster elaborated on this theory. The United States \"is going to try to separate Siberia from Russia.\"\n\nIt sounds overwrought, but try to imagine an expedition of Russian reporters venturing into Colorado, purportedly to find where the Rockies end and the Midwest begins. Those would have to be spies looking for our missile silos, right?\n\nThe next morning, it was a dare-we-call-it-Siberian 13-below as we headed east from Yekaterinburg.",

"We passed fields and snow, and snowy fields. The sun rose and the temperature actually went down. The road was plowed, and Russia has excellent gas stations with well-stocked convenience stores.\n\nAnd then, on a wooded upgrade about 200 miles east of Yekaterinburg, we found that mystical border, marked by a faded, primitive sign with the word \"Siberia\" scrawled on it, just past a bridge over the trickle of a brook fed by an underground spring. At the water’s edge, an inscription on a stone described this as the accepted border of Siberia in the 18th century. Nearby, a boarded-up cafe was surrounded by knee-deep, untouched snow, and a large, cinder-block outhouse loomed.\n\nThe magic of this place was faint, but the cold was not: My iPhone froze, as did the Malina.am crew’s drone.\n\nA few miles into Siberia lay the town of Ust-Nitsinskoye, a settlement of a thousand souls founded in 1622 on the spot where the Nitsa River flows into the Tura River.\n\nThe appearance of TV cameras sent townspeople scurrying. The first who was willing to talk was a retired bauxite miner, Boris Mihaylovich, 65. He was wearing military fatigues and feeding chickadees out of his bare hand, seemingly oblivious to the chill. How very Siberian!\n\n\"What is the difference between people from the Urals and Siberians,\" asked Svetlana Smirnova, the Malina.am producer. \"Is there any?\"\n\n\"I don’t think so,\" Mihaylovich said.",
null,
"The next person willing to speak to us gave only his nickname, Tolik.\n\n\"What’s the difference between people from the Urals and people from Siberia?\" Smirnova asked.\n\nSmirnova is a good journalist. She didn’t give up.\n\n\"So are you closer to a Siberian or a Uralite?\" she asked.\n\n\"I’m a little bit of both,\" Tolik shrugged.\n\nHere, the search ended. It was dark, and freezing, and 200 miles back to Yekaterinburg.\n\nSome of it in Siberia, the rest in the Urals.\n\nWhich way is Siberia? The answer is harder than you think.\nThe Washington Post's Moscow bureau chief, David Filipov, goes looking for Siberia."

The 68 cars entered marked the highest car count of the event in five years.\n\nHeat race three saw the driver that ended up as Brandon Overton taking the win to earn the fifth-starting spot in Saturday night’s Dirt Track World Championship. Zack Dohm and Mason Zeigler stayed close to Overton for most of the 12-lap race as they crossed the line in second and third place respectively to earn a starting spot in the 100-lapper tomorrow night.\n\nThe fifth heat would see a good battle between Mike Marlar and four-time Dirt Track World Champion Brandon Sheppard go down to the wire with Marlar securing the victory. Marlar will start fourth in tomorrow night’s finale. Sheppard with a win on Saturday night would equal Freddy Smith’s five career Dirt Track World Championship wins, the most all-time for any driver. Hudson O’Neal caught Jonathan Davenport on the final lap to take the third and final transfer spot.\n\nThe final heat of the night was all four-time Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion Earl Pearson Jr. He took the win ahead of a heated race from second on back between several drivers.

"54 million Americans including 704,000 Oregonians to carve out time for travel\n\nPORTLAND, Ore., – AAA projects 54.3 million Americans (16.5 percent of the population) will journey 50 miles or more away from home this Thanksgiving, a 4.8 percent increase over last year. About 704,000 Oregonians will head over the river and through the woods.",
null,
"The 2018 holiday weekend will see the highest Thanksgiving travel volume since 2005 when 58.6 million travelled. This year, 2.5 million more people are taking to the nation’s roads, skies, rails and waterways compared to last year. The Thanksgiving holiday travel period is defined as Wednesday, November 21 through Sunday, November 25.\n\n“This Thanksgiving will see the second-highest travel volume on record, only behind 2005. In fact, this is the 10th consecutive year of growth in Thanksgiving travel,” says Marie Dodds, public affairs director for AAA Oregon/Idaho. “Most will drive to their holiday destinations to enjoy turkey and all the trimmings with family and friends, although all modes of travel are showing increases compared to last year. Air travel gets the biggest bump with growth at more than five percent over 2017.”\n\nIn the Pacific region (Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska and Hawaii), 9.2 million travelers (17 percent of the population) are expected to travel for the holiday weekend, an increase of 5.1 percent compared to last year. About 704,000 Oregonians will travel.\n\nHighest Thanksgiving travel volume since 2005 with 54.3 million Americans traveling, up 4.8 percent over last year. About 704,000 Oregonians will head over the river and through the woods.\n\nRoad trip ready: 89 percent of all travelers – 48.5 million – are planning a Thanksgiving road trip, an increase of 4.9 percent over last year. In Oregon, roughly 609,000 will drive.\n\nBusy skies: Air travel will see the biggest increase in travel volume at 5.4 percent with 4.3 million going by air.\n\nAlternate travel also rises: Travel by trains and other modes (including buses and cruises) is up 1.4 percent to 1.48 million travelers.\n\nFueling up: Drivers will pay the highest Thanksgiving pump prices since 2014 nationally and 2013 in Oregon with gas prices 20 to 50 cents a gallon more than last year.\n\nCheaper car rentals: Rates are down 10 percent from last year at $63 per day.\n\nHotel costs show modest increases or decreases, depending on the property.\n\nHeaviest traffic expected Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon/evening. Some highways could see delays of nearly four times over the normal trip. Most will return on Sunday.\n\nAAA to the Rescue: AAA will rescue 360,000 drivers nationally and about 5,000 in Oregon and Idaho. Dead batteries, lockouts and flat tires are the top three issues.\n\nEconomic growth remains strong, supporting high levels of consumer spending with wages, disposable income and household wealth all increasing. This is fueling a strong year for the travel industry which will continue through the holiday season.\n\nThe majority of travelers plan to leave the day before Thanksgiving and return the following Sunday. Nearly a quarter of all travelers typically return on Monday, Nov. 26 or later.\n\nINRIX, in collaboration with AAA, predicts drivers will experience the greatest amount of congestion during the afternoon and early evening—with travel times starting to increase on Monday of Thanksgiving week—as commuters mix with holiday travelers. At its peak, drivers on some interstates and highways could see delays of nearly four times over normal drive times.",
null,
"The most congested times are expected to be Tuesday afternoon/evening from 3 to 6 p.m. and Wednesday from 2 to 7 p.m. as travelers head to their destinations; and much of Sunday afternoon and evening as holiday travelers return home after the long weekend. The lightest travel days are Thanksgiving Day, Friday and Saturday.\n\n“You can avoid the biggest traffic bottlenecks if you can drive outside of the peak times,” says Dodds. “Still, with the travel volume so high, you’ll have company whenever you go so pack your patience and give yourself extra time to get to your destination.”\n\nMost will travel by car despite higher gas prices\n\nMore than 89 percent of travelers (48.5 million people or 15 percent of the population) plan to drive to their Thanksgiving destinations. This is a 4.9 percent increase compared to last year and the highest number of car travelers since 2005.",
null,
"In the Pacific region, 86 percent of all travelers (7.9 million travelers or 14.7 percent of the population) will go by car, an increase of 5.2 percent compared to 2017. In Oregon, roughly 609,000 are planning a Thanksgiving road trip.\n\nAAA says gas prices are 20 to 50 cents a gallon more than a year ago. The national average for Thanksgiving will be at its highest price since 2014. In Oregon, drivers will pay the highest Thanksgiving pump prices since 2013.\n\n“Higher gas prices usually don’t have a dramatic impact on Thanksgiving travel as people want to keep their plans to spend time with friends and family. Those who need to cut expenses will do so in other ways without canceling their trips,” says Dodds. “Gas prices throughout 2018 have been more expensive than the past few years so drivers have become accustomed to the higher fuel costs and they won’t keep folks home.”\n\nThe largest growth in holiday travel is by air travel which is expected to increase by 5.4 percent nationally, with 4.3 million Americans (7.9 percent of holiday travelers or 1.3 percent of the population) flying to their holiday destinations. This is the highest volume seen for the holiday since 2007.\n\nIn the Pacific Region, 1 million people (11.2 percent of holiday travelers or 1.9 percent of the population) will fly to their holiday destination. This is an increase of 5.9 percent compared to 2017. The Pacific region is geographically more spread out and typically sees a higher than average share of its population fly and this is the case for this Thanksgiving.\n\nAn analysis of AAA’s flight booking data from the last three years shows that the Tuesday and Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving are usually the most popular air travel days and have the highest average price per roundtrip ticket. Most travelers are flying back home on Sunday. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving Day consistently has the lowest average price per ticket and is the lightest travel day.\n\nMost travelers booked their flights for Thanksgiving between September 23 and October 25, paying an average ticket price of $478 roundtrip. Those taking to the skies will pay about five percent more for airfare this year according to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index.",
null,
"Procrastinating travelers who still need to book their flights may find cheaper airfares, paying an average ticket price of $459 between now and November 15. However, last-minute flight availability will likely be very limited.\n\nThose flying should arrive at the airport at least two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights. Visit TSA.gov for the latest info on getting through security.\n\n“You definitely want to get to the airport early for Thanksgiving travel. Not only are the airports more crowded but it’s also a time when we see an increase in the number of folks who don’t normally fly which can slow security lines,” says Dodds.\n\nTravel by other modes also rises\n\nTravel by other modes of transportation, including cruises, trains and buses, will increase 1.4 percent this Thanksgiving to 1.48 million travelers.\n\nHotel rates up or down, depending on the property; car rental rates fall\n\nAccording to AAA’s Leisure Travel Index, rates for AAA Three Diamond Rated lodgings are expected to decrease six percent to an average of $166 per night down from $176 a year ago. The average rate for a AAA Two Diamond Rated hotel is up five percent with an average nightly cost of $124 up from $117 last year.\n\nDaily car rental rates are down 10 percent from last year with an average daily rate of $63 down from $70 a year ago.\n\nThis year’s top destinations for Thanksgiving based on AAA bookings at AAA Oregon/Idaho include popular West Coast and Hawaiian cities, as well as perennial family-friendly favorites:\n\nAAA expects to respond to more than 330,000 calls for help nationally and about 5,000 in Oregon and Idaho this Thanksgiving. The top three issues are dead batteries, flat tires and lockouts.",
null,
"Before heading out on a road trip, AAA recommends you check the condition of your battery and tires. AAA members can schedule a time for a AAA battery technician to come to your vehicle and test your battery, starter and alternator. We’ll even deliver a new battery, install it and take away your old one.\n\nCarry chains and know how to put them on. Pack an emergency kit. Make sure you, your passengers and your car are ready for winter driving conditions.\n\nHave your vehicle inspected by a trusted repair shop, such as one of the nearly 7,000 AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities across North America. Oil changes, fluid level checks, battery tests and tire inspections go a long way toward reducing the chances of a breakdown.\n\nDownload the AAA Mobile app before a Thanksgiving getaway\n\nWith the AAA Mobile app, travelers can also find 59,000 AAA Approved and Diamond Rated hotels and restaurants. AAA’s is the only rating system that uses full-time, professionally trained evaluators to inspect each property on an annual basis. Every AAA Inspected and Approved establishment offers the assurance of acceptable cleanliness, comfort and hospitality, and ratings of One to Five Diamonds help travelers find the right match for amenities and services.",

"Jellyfish are one of the animals that many people fear on holiday to the beach, as jellyfish are known to have nasty stings. However, actually How Fast Can a Jellyfish Run: Fact and Information. They have some unique characteristics in their history and life cycle.\n\nWhat do you know about jellyfish?\n\nBionic jellyfish are good at monitoring climate change in the oceans, how do he swim and moving. Do jellyfish really swim? Yes because it is the fastest animal and do not die, it also has an STFC jellyfish crew.\n\nWhat group of animals is the jellyfish?\n\nJellyfish are a common term for a group of invertebrate animals from the phylum Cnidaria that is umbrella-shaped and has tentacles. There are so many types of jellyfish.\n\nCan a jellyfish kill you?\n\nThe sting of a particular box jellyfish can kill a person in a few minutes. Other box jellyfish stings can cause death within 4 to 48 hours after being stung due to “Irukandji syndrome”. This is a delayed reaction to the sting.\n\nHow fast can a jellyfish move?\n\nUsually, jellyfish swim at a speed of about Approx 2 cm/second. Although they can move faster, it does not help them in ensnaring their prey, their typical reason for using the “swimming” movement is waving the tentacles.\n\nWhat jellyfish are the fastest?\n\nBox jellyfish are very advanced among others. They have developed the ability to move rather than just drift, flying at speeds of up to four knots through the water.\n\nHow Fast Can a Jellyfish Run?\n\nA Ferrari accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3 seconds. That’s 3 g. Jellyfish stinging cells ignite at an acceleration of 5 million g. It only takes 700 seconds for the sting to reach its target.\n\nTo make sure the weight of the jellyfish you can find out in the “weight of average jellyfish“? this will explain more details.\n\nDon’t Be Underestimated, Here Are the World’s Most Dangerous Jellyfish Types\n\nYou must have heard the news about jellyfish attacks in certain seasons. Yes, most jellyfish do have stinging tentacles to survive. Plus, because of its color that tends to be transparent and blend with water, the presence of jellyfish is often unnoticed.\n\nAlthough most jellyfish stings are harmless, certain types have dangerous and even deadly stings. Here are the names:\n\nSea nettle or Chrysaora fuscescens has long, thin tentacles, and is commonly found in the Chesapeake Bay area off the East Coast of the United States. According to researchers, the phenomenon of sea nettle breeding is common and dangerous.\n\nIt has 24 tentacles that can reach as far as 6 feet in length. The sting is also quite toxic which causes excruciating pain, but fortunately, this jellyfish rarely takes a fatality.\n\nSome species of animals use sea nettle as transportation to the beach and will sometimes eat pieces of sea nettle as a snack during the trip.\n\nThis jellyfish species is known as the largest of the other types of jellyfish. Its habitat range spans the North Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean, to the Arctic Ocean. It has a diameter of 6 feet over 7 inches, with the largest length ever recorded being 120 feet. The length of the tentacles of this jellyfish can reach 100 feet and is used for predation.\n\nThese jellyfish often swim in large groups, and according to researchers, stings from a jellyfish can cause severe pain and even allergies due to its protein-based toxins.\n\nCannonball jellyfish or the scientific name Stomolophus Meleagris has a characteristic shape that is round like a cannon. It is recorded as living in the mid-west Atlantic Ocean and the east-central and northwestern Pacific Oceans.\n\nThe main food of this type of jellyfish is zooplankton. Cannon jellyfish are poison-producing, and their stings can cause mild heart disease in humans.\n\nIts small size of about 0.2 inches and transparent color sometimes make Irukandji jellyfish difficult to avoid. Irukandji belongs to the box jellyfish family known as one of the most poisonous animals on the planet.\n\nIrukandji venom is 100 stronger than cobras, both tentacles and bells of this jellyfish can sting. A single sting from Irukandji can be treated, but repeated stings from these jellyfish are almost certainly deadly.\n\nSymptoms of Irukandji jellyfish stings include severe muscle cramps, pain in the kidneys and back, burning sensation, headaches, and vomiting.\n\nLiving off the coasts of Darwin and North Queensland, the box jellyfish is one of Australia’s most powerful singers and is responsible for 70 deaths in the country by wrapping their victims around with 3 meters long tentacles. These transparent jellyfish attacks are most common during the summer months and recorded deaths occur between October and May.\n\nBox jellyfish inject toxins through small receptors along the tentacles, so the severity of the sting is related to the number of tentacles touching the skin. In addition to being very painful, the poison attacks the muscles around the lungs and heart, which if left untreated can lead to death.\n\nHow Does a Jellyfish Sting Work?\n\nA poisonous stinging device in jellyfish is referred to as nematodes. This organ is present in a special cell called cnida. Nemesis is used by jellyfish to catch prey and protect themselves from predators. There are also several species of jellyfish that use their nematodes to be able to stick to the bottom of the water.\n\nSee also Dog With Hiccups: Can it Be Transmitted To Humans? and How to Treat it\n\nNematosis can still be active a few days after the jellyfish die. So, if you find a jellyfish stranded on the beach do not touch it even if it is dead.\n\nFrom the results of the study Box jellyfish Species Chironex fleckeri including the most dangerous type of jellyfish due to the very high level of toxins and very high pain and fatality.\n\nIf you experience a jellyfish sting, there is some first aid that can be given. First, the victim must be quickly brought ashore. Next, do non-activation of nematosis by watering it using kitchen vinegar and leave for at least 30 seconds.\n\nBecause the results show kitchen vinegar is the most efficient to disable this nematosis.\n\nThings to keep in mind, if exposed to jellyfish stings\n\nNever flush the sting wounds of jellyfish using alcohol, urine, seawater, or freshwater, because it can aggravate the wound. The next step is to seek medical help immediately so that the victim can get further help as soon as possible.\n\nInteresting Facts Jellyfish, Ancient Animals to Have Been to Space\n\nAncient animal jellyfish have no bones, so the fossils are difficult for researchers to obtain. Nevertheless, scientists have evidence that this creature drifted in the world’s oceans for at least 500 million years.\n\nIt was likely that the lineage of the jellyfish was more than 700 years earlier, and that was roughly 3 times the age of the first dinosaurs. That is, jellyfish existed hundreds of millions of years before dinosaurs.\n\nCan survive with changing seawater pH\n\nUniquely for jellyfish, human activity has made them feel more at home. While corals, oysters, and any marine organisms that will be vulnerable to being affected even die from increasingly acidic ocean levels. Although, this does not mean that the jellyfish are immune.\n\nJellyfish are not fish\n\nClearly of the visible stature of the jellyfish, it is not a species of fish. Jellyfish belong to the agar-agar zooplankton or invertebrates of the cnidarian phylum. Taxonomically, jellyfish have a very diverse variety.\n\nIt has been said before that jellyfish are considered better at surviving the effects of changes occurring in the oceans. Well, maybe you’ve seen the movement or the way jellyfish swim in the water?\n\nSee also How Fast Can a Camel Run: Facts About Camels\n\nJellyfish tend to easily blend in with their surroundings and follow gentle waves from ocean currents. That’s because his body consists of 98% water.\n\nWhen you try to get the jellyfish out of the water and put them on land, then within a few hours the jellyfish disappear after their bodies evaporate into the air. They have a rudimentary nervous system.\n\nLoose neural networks located in the epidermis are called neural networks, but there is no brain and liver. As well, the structure of their bodies is so thin that they can be oxygenated only by diffusion.\n\nSome types of jellyfish have eyes\n\nSome species of jellyfish have very complex visions. Like a type of box jellyfish that has 24 eyes, two of them can see color.\n\nIt is also believed that there are jellyfish with intricate visual sensors so that they can see with a full 360-degree view of the surrounding environment.\n\nSome types may be timeless\n\nAt least one unique species of jellyfish namely Turritopsis nutricula may never actually die. When threatened, the species can undergo “cellular transience” which is a process in which the cells of the organism in its body become newly returned.\n\nDefecate where they eat\n\nWhat do you think? This is the uniqueness of jellyfish. They have only one hole whose function is as the mouth and anus.\n\nThe deadliest creature on Earth\n\nAll jellyfish have nematocyst or stinging structures, with sting strength varying depending on the breed. The world’s most venomous jellyfish are box jellyfish, capable of killing adult humans with just one sting in a few minutes.\n\nIn each box jellyfish, the poison can kill more than 60 humans. People who are stung will experience very painful pain. However, Australian researchers have developed a potential antidote to box jellyfish stings.\n\nAboard the Columbia space shuttle in the early 1990s, to test how they could adapt in a gravityless environment.\n\nThis is because humans and jellyfish rely on gravity-sensitive calcium crystals to orient themselves. The crystals are located inside the inner ear in humans and along the lower edges of the fungal-like body of jellyfish.\n\nTherefore, the researchers wanted to study how jellyfish adapt in space to get clues about how they apply to humans.\n\nThe smallest species of jellyfish are the genus Staurocladie and Eleutheria, whose tentacles are only 0.5 millimeters in diameter.\n\nIn contrast, the type of jellyfish with the longest tentacles in the world is Cyanea capillata. The tentacles extend 120 feet or 36.5 meters. The world’s largest jellyfish by weight is the titanic Nomura jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai, which can dwarf human divers. It can have a diameter of 6.5 feet and weighs up to 199.5 kg.\n\nWould You Know How Much \"Weight of Average Jellyfish\"?\n\nYou Should Know \"Weight of Average Irukandji Jellyfish\"\n\nHow Fast Can a Roundworm Run: OMG Unbelievable!!",

"The Texas House gave an initial stamp of approval Wednesday to a bill that would classify fantasy sports as games of skill, not of chance, that are therefore legal.\n\nHouse Bill 2303 by state Rep. Joe Moody, D-El Paso, passed the chamber on a 116-27 vote. It still needs another vote from the House before it can be sent to the Senate for consideration. (Update, May 2: The House voted to give the measure final approval.)\n\nFantasy sports allows fans to draft real players from various sporting leagues to create a fictional team. The players’ real-time statistics are then compiled, and the team with the highest overall ranking wins. Fans can track their teams through websites or apps.\n\nWhile critics say fantasy sports sites are hubs for illegal online gambling, others contend the games are based on skill and are therefore legitimate. Lawmakers have filed similar measures in the past, but to no avail.\n\n“House Bill 2303 simply seeks to clarify state law and confirm that skill-based fantasy sports are legal and therefore not an act of gambling,” Moody said. “It’s very similar to what 19 other states in the country have done in recent years, and the United States Congress made this change in 2006.”\n\nMoody’s bill is likely to be the vehicle for fantasy sports legislation this session since two other similar pieces of legislation by state Rep. Richard Peña Raymond, D-Laredo, and state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, have yet to gain traction. Raymond’s bill failed to muster enough support to pass a House committee.\n\nThe Texas Fantasy Sports Alliance — a group backed by paid sites FanDuel and DraftKings, which allow Texans to compete for prizes based off their virtual teams — has pressed lawmakers to advance fantasy sports legislation.\n\n“We look forward to continued progress in the Texas Legislature to protect fantasy sports players and Texas-based businesses supporting this industry and this much-need[ed] modernization of the Texas Penal Code,” spokesman Scott Dunaway said in a statement.",

"Naomi Osaka pulls out of Wimbledon but aims for Olympics",
null,
"Women’s tennis world No. 2 Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from the Wimbledon championship for personal reasons but will be ready for the Tokyo Olympics, British media reported on Thursday.\n\nOsaka, 23, quit the French Open despite a first round victory after organisers fined her when she refused to attend mandatory post-match press conferences. She said unsympathetic questioning after games impacted her mental wellbeing.\n\n“Naomi won’t be playing Wimbledon this year. She is taking some personal time with friends and family. She will be ready for the Olympics and is excited to play in front of her home fans,” a Times newspaper reporter quoted her team as saying.\n\nThe four-time Grand Slam winner had announced in the build-up to the French Open that she would not face the media and stuck to her stance, which led to a $15,000 fine.\n\nA strongly-worded letter from the board of the four Grand Slam tournaments followed, warning her of possible expulsion from Roland Garros and future majors - after which she announced her withdrawal on social media.\n\nFrench Open organisers defended their handling of the situation but accepted that the governing bodies need to do better on mental health issues."

"+ The following is a lesson excerpted from Soundfly’s free Themes and Variation Companion Course, which extrapolates “themes” covered in our biweekly podcast of the same name. Listen and subscribe to the podcast here.\n\nFor the chilling Episode 6 of our podcast, Themes and Variation, co-host Mahea Lee (composer, pianist, educator) chose to profile a classical masterpiece that is equal parts creepy and beautiful: “Danse Macabre” by the composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Here are the CliffsNotes, listen below.\n\nThe Art of Musical Storytelling\n\nOn top of being an incredible composer, Saint-Saëns was a masterful storyteller, who expertly used his arranging skills to invigorate the audience’s imagination and bring ideas to life. Using orchestration in this way is an interesting thing, because it requires a thorough knowledge of the tools, techniques, and instruments at your disposal, as well as a deep understanding of your listeners and how they experience music.\n\nThere are many reasons we react to music the way we do. Some of those reasons are biological, while others may be social. We build various associations as a result of our interactions with various forms of media, culture, religion, and countless other influences. A song may conjure images in our minds because of the timbre of an instrument it uses, a rhythmic idea woven into its framework, or a melody that reminiscent of something we know from our pasts.\n\nIn “Danse Macabre,” Saint-Saëns tells a story so intricately, using the xylophone as a representation for skeleton bones, twelve plucked notes on a harp to symbolize the stroke of midnight, and the prevalence of that most taboo of intervals, the tritone. Of course, those are only three of a near-countless collection of image-inducing musical ideas in this piece alone.\n\nThere are so many composition and orchestration techniques that could be used to better tell a story through music. In fact, since a lot of this comes down to understanding how an audience might interpret something, there are countless ways for an orchestrator to paint a picture with notes. To articulate what we’re trying to say, we can use rhythm, melody, instrumentation, texture, and countless other musical elements.\n\nWhile we can’t cover nearly as much as we’d like to here, we can look at some common ideas about a couple of instruments that have been around for a while and continue to be relevant today. (*And if you’d like to empower yourself with even more technical skills, join our Introduction to the Composer’s Craft and Orchestration for Strings courses.)\n\nThe Devil and the Violin\n\nWhile it can be hard to trace the origin of the relationship between the devil and the violin, there does seem to be a general consensus around the notion that the great violinist Niccolò Paganini had something to do with the fact that the idea is still so popular today.\n\nPaganini had a theatrical presence and played the violin with unprecedented virtuosity, leading some to believe he sold his soul to acquire his skill, while others were convinced he was the devil himself.\n\nYou can imagine what may have caused audiences to believe these things by listening to Paganini’s “24 Caprices for Solo Violin.” You can also hear more literal interpretations of the devil and the violin in works like Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du Soldat (The Solider’s Tale).”\n\nIt isn’t always easy to pinpoint exactly when or where an idea came to be, but it seems mankind has long believed in some sort of tie between wind instruments and nature. In Greek mythology, Pan (the God of Nature) often carries a wind instrument comprised of pipes, which we know today by the names “pan flute,” “syrinx,” or “pan pipes.”\n\nWoodwinds tend to have a very expressive sound, due in part to the fact that they rely so heavily on breath. Often sweet, dreamy, and inviting, they’re a perfect fit for pieces like Claude Debussy’s “Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun).”\n\nWoodwinds are also featured heavily in Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf,” in which each character is represented by a specific instrument. Peter himself is played by the strings, the weapon-touting hunters by the timpani, and Peter’s grandfather by the bassoon. With the exception of the wolf itself (which is embodied by the French horn), the animals in the story are paired with woodwinds: bird and flute, duck and oboe, cat and clarinet.\n\nSo Much More to Consider\n\nHopefully, the specific examples here will inspire you to think about the storytelling potential of every new musical concept, skill, and technique you encounter. Remember that if you’re ever in need of a burst of creative energy, go check out Soundfly’s suite of in-depth online music courses, where you’ll find inspiration, motivation, entertainment, and the tools you need to improve at whatever you set out to achieve!\n\nFirst, listen to a few songs from the playlist below, and pick one that speaks to you. If there’s another symphonic poem you’d like to use, that’s fine too. This is just a small collection to get things started.\n\nNext, find at least three interesting writing or arranging choices in the piece that seem to evoke an image or idea that isn’t necessarily musical on its own — like the rooster crow or skeleton bones in “Danse Macabre.”\n\nFinally, do a little research and see what you can learn about the song and composer, and whether any of those things further inform your understanding of the piece.\n\nFor the writing challenge, start by picking a story to interpret through (non-lyrical) music. It can be a personal anecdote, a bedtime story from your childhood, or even something from current events. Just make sure you’re working with something that has a start, middle, and end, and ideally at least two characters.\n\nNext, create a piece of music that takes inspiration from symphonic poems like “Danse Macabre,” though you’re welcome to write in whatever style best suits you. Your piece should be at least 16 measures or 60 seconds long, and can be created in a DAW or using traditional music notation.\n\nIf you’re not sure where to start, here are some things to consider:\n\nWe’d love to see what you came up with! Share your work with us in the #podcast channel of Slack if you’re a Soundfly subscriber, or email it to us at [email protected]. Good luck!\n\nMahea Lee is a composer, lyricist, pianist, and educator, who started studying music as a toddler and has continued ever since. A somewhat accidental generalist, Mahea has experience in a wide range of musical areas, but is particularly passionate about composition, music theory, and lyric writing. She received a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production from Berklee College of Music and currently holds the position of VP of Learning and Curriculum Development at Soundfly.\n\nShe enjoys sugar-free bubblegum, the sound of the ocean, and songs that force her to contemplate human nature and her own emotional instincts.

"This charming and Russian deck not only in name but also in looks is one of the latest East European tarot’s to find a home in my collection and urging me to show it off to those visiting my blog.\n\n\nAs with (almost) all decks originating from that part of the world information about it is scarce to put it lightly, I suppose part of that fact can be traced back to the use of the Cyrillic alphabet, but still I did the very best I could and found some data about it.\n\nThe inspiration and system behind it is from Boris Monosov’s, a Russian mage and founder of the \"school of magic Atlantis\" the artist who drew the cards being Anastasia Nikolaeva.From what I gather the deck was printed in 1994 by Skyline Courier to be used for meditation and energy workings by the students of Monosov's mystery school.\n\nIn 2011 the deck was re-published by the Russian publisher Vector and sometime later became accessible to us here in the west, mainly thanks to eBay sellers from that part of the world.\n\nSo far for the history part of the deck, now the images themselves, the style and colors breathe a Russian atmosphere that is immediately recognizable, simple yet strong with colors that jump directly at you an effect that is made even more potent due to the use of large white sections within the images.\n\nAccording to the Russian information I found the deck is WCS-based, yet when opening the box and looking at it, the first impression was more of a TdM based one, perhaps an hybridization of those mixed with Mr. Monosv's own vision??\n\nOne other thing I could gather and that may shed an interesting light upon this deck is the fact that many majors have been renamed to fit Monosov's system, some corresponding to the traditional meanings, others less.\nThe new names (translated by Google) being:\n1) Creator\n2) Cognition\n3) Matter\n4) Will\n5) Consciousness\n6) Inclination\n7) Achievement\n8) Force\n9) Spirituality\n10) Fate\n11) Law\n12) Object\n13) Destruction\n14 Transformation\n15) Dependence\n16) Return\n18) Development\n19) Word\n20) Update\n21) Success\n22) Illusion\nPosted by: Unknown At 13:35"

"Buy this book\nAmazon\nBarnes & Noble\nBookshop\nZeebra Books\nIn his detailed, absorbing portrait of Huston (1906–1987), biographer Meyers (George Orwell, Samuel Johnson, and Somerset Maugham) captures the remarkable parallels between these two men as he narrates the life and compelling work of one of the world's greatest film directors. Drawing on original interviews with Huston's family and friends as well as on newly available archival materials, Meyers traces Huston's life from his peripatetic childhood—when he and his mother wandered from Missouri, Texas, and Indiana to St. Paul, Los Angeles, and Phoenix—to his stint in the army through his triumphs and failures as an actor, screenwriter, and director. Social and gregarious, Huston was also private and self-enclosed; he had a zest for life, and an aura of recklessness, ruthlessness and irresponsibility. He made war documentaries under fire, hunted tigers in India and elephants in Africa, and took near-fatal risks—sometimes with the lives of others—in filming The African Queen and Moby Dick. Huston caught the world's attention in 1941 with The Maltese Falcon, his first feature in which all of his talents as a writer, actor, and director finally came together. Meyers points out that the characteristic theme of Huston's major films is the almost impossible quest, but one tempered by detachment and irony.(Sept.)\nPaperback - 496 pages - 978-0-307-59068-8\nShow other formats\nFORMATS"

But honestly , for all we know of Eric McCormack as a star, don’t ever forget he is an equally brilliant stage actor and this proves it.\n\na fun passing of the time. entertaining, but not 'Deep theatre\". listen if you're a theatre fan"

"Gower Riders Cycling Club are celebrating after six of their young cyclists were Highly Commended at the South Wales Evening Post Community Awards.\n\nThe scheme which was launched last year encourages young cyclists from all over Wales to spend time volunteering within their clubs and the wider community. The programme aims to see the youngsters develop the key skills that will serve them well in the future, both inside and outside the sport.\n\nThe ambassadors work has included assisting club coaches at training sessions, helping to stage the club’s round of Welsh Cyclo-cross league and taking a leading role in organising the club’s annual awards night. Additionally, some ambassadors have given talks and demonstrations to community groups to promote both the club and the sport in general.\n\nSpeaking at the presentation ceremony, one of the Young Ambassadors, Ben Fox said:\n“I really enjoy being part of the Young Ambassadors scheme, particularly helping the coaches at sessions and encouraging the younger members of the club to improve their cycling skills. It’s a great scheme that has helped me gain a lot of confidence and learn new skills. Receiving this award is the icing on the cake.”\n\nKath Elias, Chairperson at Gower Riders said:\n“We are really proud of how our Young Ambassadors have taken to their roles. They are a very enthusiastic group of kids who are passionate about helping to run the club, encouraging the younger riders to improve their skills and promoting the sport in general.\n\n“It’s been really pleasing to see how they’ve grown as people and the confidence they’ve gained by being part of this programme. The skills they are developing will serve them and the club well in years to come. They are superb role models and are a credit to the club.”\n\nThe award caps a memorable couple of weeks for the club. Just two weeks ago they were victorious in the Swansea Sports Awards, being named Junior Sports Team of the Year. They were also named Welsh Cycling’s Club of the Month for March, thanks to the work of the Young Ambassadors and the club’s role in encouraging their participation."

"“The photograph, its two-dimensional plane and its insistence to be read almost always at a fraction of scale conflate the notion of environment and atmosphere”.\n\nSite Specific iterations of narrative are incredibly difficult to define in photographic terms. The photograph, its two-dimensional plane and its insistence to be read almost always at a fraction of scale conflate the notion of environment and atmosphere. I posit here that the photographic image of a site can only be read so much as a passing glance and the real key to unlocking its potential lies in the ability of mythic status of representation to become visible when context is pursued further. Ed Panar’s book “In the Vicinity” on Deadbeat books achieves a huge level of success in unlocking his images by keeping their pretense to reality hidden both in the design of the book, but also in its title. The book could have been called “Alderpoint”. It could have been called “Murder Mountain” and it could have been called “Trimmergate”. Instead Panar, insists on calling into question the notion of site and its specific references by employing the word “vicinity”.The Emerald Triangle is a geographic swathe of land that spreads from Humboldt to Mendocino and Trinity County in Northern California. Known for its history of marijuana growing and associated off-grid activities in later times, the spot is also something of a lawless and unguarded Pandora’s box of history and ideals.",

"The cultivation of marijuana started sometime in the 1960’s. Dis-illusioned with the way contemporary life was heading and with the ever-present possible nuclear fallout with Russia, migrants from all over the US headed to Northern California to set up commune’s to which they were generally left un-accosted by the government. The rituals of nature, the great outdoors and living from the land became embedded in the community. Though illegal until recently and even now under heavily taxed and permit-oriented grow businesses, the citizens of the Emerald Triangle remain off-grid, but the peace and nature-loving reality comes with a cost associated with the drug trade. Remember, what is legal in California may not be in the next state a few hundred miles from the triangle, meaning distribution networks and illegal grow spots still exist and operate under the pretense of a near militarized response and open hostility to federal or state interventions by police. Each year hundreds of “trimmers” make their way to the Emerald Triangle to work the harvest and trim the product that will be sold. Some leave after the season and many stay on enjoying the relative ease with which they can disappear, nearly completely and sometimes…",

"Northern California and its red woods, its heavily 1-percenter indoctrined communities have produced myths about nefarious ends best exemplified in the Netflix series “Murder Mountain” which investigated to some minor degree the large amount of disappearances that occur near Alderpoint. The frontier that Panar examines in his book, or rather in the vicinity of Alderpoint questions some of this activity, but in a completely non-menacing way. One is almost left to believe that his color palette, the use of natural environment and the clever-design of the weed pamphlet at the back of the book are simply about smoking herb and living in a peaceful redwood-gated community. However, the sub-text of his site reveals that while the images may court a pleasant beautifully executed series of images, we are left with the questions about the vigilant owl, the gun shot-riddled automobiles and what hides under the rainbow and in the fog. Things.are.not.as.they.seem. I have mentioned what I refer to as the “New Rurality” of images being produced by a very certain demographic of white men recently, who in their work at least are forgoing the captivity of the urban environment and are digesting what “flyover” or sequestered sites look like again. Tim Carpenter, Nathan Pearce, Matthew Genitempo, Bryan Schutmaat and Wouter Van Der Voorde are a few people examining the notion of a deindustrialized site for mediation. Panar’s book falls roughly into this category, but slightly outside in so much as the site he is examining has remained within the frontier aims, though its examination is rife for consummation of the rural clause.",
null,
null,
null,
null,
"Panar’s book then with its title not alluding to much referential backstory and the employ of the weed booklet at the end in design terms give the atmosphere of the images within a quasi-narrative that can be unfolded and distributed as one sees fit. My overriding assumption based on what I know of the area and the images within Panar’s book is that what is presented in crystalline beauty is in effect something in the vicinity of something lawless and dark. I appreciate books like this when they unlock me more than I unlock them. What seems saccharine and candy-flavored is simply a delivery system for longer mediation and that is a very rare talent indeed.",

"An Interview With Yeahpoint’s Mitch Wade\n\nYeahpoint, a nine-year-old company founded by CEO John Anderson in Brisbane, Australia, set up a North American office in San Diego, headed by Mitch Wade, general manager of the Americas, six months ago and is already getting on the fast track to introduce the company’s offerings.\n\nWe wanted to learn what the company was up to, after learning that it will be exhibiting at the National Retail Federation Show at booth #271 in association with Toshiba, a minority partner in the company.\n\n“We’ll be showing several products at NRF, our first trade show,” says Wade, whose background includes positions with Kodak and HP as well as selling in the tech industry. “Our business involves self-service solutions and digital signage, and everything we do is interactive. Further, everything we do is measurable via our own facial recognition software.” (Yeahpoint partnered with a company in France for the facial recognition software that identifies by age, sex and mood – the latter determined via the eyes and mouth – of the potential customer.)\n\nIn addition, everything Yeahpoint does is powered by its own software platform, yeahWARE CORE9, which, says Wade, can support applications and platforms by other companies as well. (Core9 is also rebranded and sold by Bizerba, a Germany-based company with offices in several countries.)",

"Yeahpoint provides self-service solutions for kiosk, signage and mobile platforms to a wide range of industries right across the globe. Its solutions are used by such companies as SingTel, Unilever and Billabong.\n\n“The company custom designs its self-service technology for any industry,” says Wade. “Our key focus is to set your business apart and increase sales and growth above and beyond the rest.”\n\nYeahpoint develops everything from single applications right through to complete turnkey solutions, aimed at giving stores real intelligence about their customers. For Sing Tel, Signapore’s largest telecommunications company, it has digital wall signage, plexiglass banners, tabletop screens and more in 15 stores, with 100 screens in the flagship store. All are powered by CORE9, including an interactive window which gives passers-by information 24/7.",

"Yeahpoint is currently working with a potential customer for an in-store CRM system which would involve Near Field Communications as part of the offering.\n\nMiMirror creates a consumer experience allowing customers to not only see how they look in various outfits but also to easily share their shopping experiences with friends online. Packaged as both a touch screen and digital mirror, MiMirror means that shoppers can try on products and use it to take photographs to compare how they look while also sharing the images with their friends via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.\n\nIt’s unique, innovative and is already generating serious interest from fashion retailers around the world. Already using it are Soviet stores in Johnannesburg, Republic in London, and Guess in Singapore.\n\nPeople can use MiMirror to compare how they look in various outfits, side by side, through the interactive digital touch screen to help them make their purchasing decision. MiMirror allows retailers to use their customer’s social networks to market their brand effortlessly. Guess in Singapore drew people by allowing the customers trying on the outfits to send their photos to enter the 2011 Elite Model Look contest.\n\nUsing interactive technologies such as in-store touch screens, recipe printing solutions and even facial scanning, customers can use Touch2Cook‘s simple interface to browse through the latest recipes and dishes, selecting the ones they like with a recipe list printed straight away as well as an in-store map to the ingredients they need. Retailers can simply change their menus and promote anything from excess stock to special discounts and offers.\n\nThrough its sleek touch screen interface, Touch2Cook also eliminates the need for a ticketing system and queuing at the deli counter, with a facial matching solution allowing orders to be matched to the customer’s face and prepared at the back of the store. Then, when the customer finishes the rest of her shopping, the order is matched to her face, ready to pick up as she leaves the store or heads for the cashier.\n\nTouch2Cook can also allow retailers to share recipes, discounts and special deals through social media on their in-store signage, kiosks and online. It is currently being used by Cold Storage in Singapore, Cooks in Australia (where it’s also integrating with Facebook), and Harrod’s in London.\n\nAlso being introduced for grocers and supermarkets is Yeahpoint’s Intelligent Waste Management system. An interoperable IT platform developed specifically for supermarkets for significantly improving economic and environmental issues associated with perishable food shelf life and waste stream management.\nThe IWM system gives the supermarket an integrated, localised store strategy and technologies to:\n\nThis product will initially be deloyed by a grocer in The Netherlands.\n\nYeahpoint is expected to show most of these applications at NRF, except for the still-under-development CRM-NFC application.\n\nWade says that the strategy in the U.S. is to develop partnerships, replicating its partnership successes with Toshiba and Bizerba.\n\n“We also want to make agreements with system integrators and vertical market partners,” he says. “We can also see applications beyond food and fashion retailers into health care and correctional facilities and in the automatic vending sectors.”\n\nThis entry was posted on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012 at 08:00 @375 and is filed under DailyDOOH Update.

"While Knights clinically decimated Delhi Daredevils by 9 wickets having bowled the opposition for a sub-100 score, the Mumbai Indians were at the receiving end with league debutants Rising Pune Supergiants giving them a sound thrashing by 9 wickets.\n\nNarine, who had left for the Caribbean after his father's demise is back in Kolkata, and with clearance from the ICC will like to forge a lethal combination with 45-year-old chinaman exponent Brad Hogg, if both are picked as overseas recruits.\n\nIf the jet-lagged Narine is available, it will mean a selection dilemma for Gambhir with the Aussie veteran Brad Hogg (3/19) being the pick of their bowler rattling DD for 98 in 17.4 overs.\n\nIn that case, Gambhir may like to dump John Hastings, who did bowl well against Daredevils. A look at India's recent series in Australia will indicate that Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma had really played the big-bodied Aussie really well. The other option is to play a batsman less to induct Narine and in that case Colin Munro may be made to sit out.\n\nThat apart, KKR has the perfect winning combination in place even if that would mean a heartbreak for Bangaldeshi star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who could not make the XI despite his fine performance in the World Twenty20, where he took 10 wickets from seven matches.\n\nThis will be KKR's last match at the Eden this month as they will hit the road for six successive away matches with West Bengal in the middle of the Assembly polls as Gambhir's men cannot afford to let go the crucial two points at home."

"Take the time to read this whether you have had a conversion or are thinking about it.\n\nThere are pros and cons to having a short stroke done. Here are my opinions on this. It costs a bit of money. A short stroke makes the action cycle faster with less rearward motion of the hammer. It takes about 1/2 inch out of the travel. This should decrease your overall stage times. It takes some time to get used to as the hammer pull is a lot shorter. The action will be smoother than a stock gun with no action work, but will not quite as smooth as a stock gun with action work due to the notches the trigger now has to ride over. The short stroke takes all the slop out of the Vaquero design and the tolerances are now very tight.\n\nDo you need a short stroke? You have to make that call. Most shooters that are highly competitive have it done. A lot of regular shooters find it less fatiguing and it does reduce overall times when you get the hang of it. It’s also fun to show off your guns with it. I would shoot someone’s guns with it before you take the plunge. One of the best reasons to have a short stroke done is if you have low profile hammers in your guns. When Shooting a stock gun with a low profile hammer (Super Blackhawk® hammer) you will notice the hammer now hits your strong hand in the web. The short stroke will keep the hammer from doing this as the travel is shorter. The gun functions like a colt now. Load and unload in the half cock. It is unsafe to load six rounds as the transfer bar is gone.\n\nFacts you should know about “Half Cock”, “Short Stroke” and “Four Click” conversions.\n\nSome gunsmiths doing the conversions use brazing to convert the parts. Brazing is like soldering, but to a higher temperature. The parts are being “glued” together. It requires heating the parts up to a dull red, around 1400 degrees. This process takes the hardness out of the parts and the metal is now soft. You can’t re-harden a brazed part. Furthermore, look at the hammer on guns that have had a pad brazed onto them. You will notice a divot developing where it is striking the firing pin in the frame. Eventually the divot becomes so deep the gun won’t fire. The lower part of the hammer will also be soft. The lobes and notches will wear out faster than a TIG welded conversion. Also notice on brazed conversions how the hammer is misshapen and full of scratches on both sides. This is due to grinding the oversized brazed parts to be flush with the sides of the hammer. Brazing equipment runs about $45.00.\n\nTIG welding was developed for the Aerospace industry and NASA. TIG welding uses an inert shielding gas and creates a molecular bond with an incredibly small heat signature. The parts welded become one piece of metal, not two stuck together. The low heat signature minimizes/eliminates distortion. TIG welding allows deep penetration of the weld due to the shielding gas and the advanced technology of the arc. It also allows for pinpoint accuracy in the weld. TIG welded parts can be heat treated to re-harden them. TIG welding takes a considerable degree of skill, but the end product is far superior. A quality TIG welder costs about $2800.00.\n\nMIG welders are also used by some for making the modifications. There couple of issues with this. MIG welding leaves a large heat signature and most parts I have seen MIG welded are not heat treated properly. You also can’t get the propper metal in MIG wire to match the hammer metal. They need to be TIG welded with the correct metal to be strong.",
null,
"Brazed VS TIG welded\nOne of the four parts that are modified is the bolt. AKA cylinder stop.",
null,
"Both methods of the conversion work. The difference is in the craftsmanship, how long it will last and the exact tolerances of the parts. You decide on how you want to spend your money.\n\nWhat are the “Standards of the Industry” when it comes to a quality short stroke? These are the small things that really make a difference when loading and shooting your revolvers. First things first though. You can make a Short Stroke too short and some do. There needs to be enough momentum in the hammer to fire the primer, so if you make them really short, you have to have a stiffer hammer and a rougher action. You have to sacrifice quality and smoothness. A revolver with an action that is stiffer and rougher will be harder to keep on target than one that is smoother and lighter. You can spend almost twice as much on some shorts strokes that are stiffer and rougher and only gain 1 to 2 millimeters in hammer pull. Shorter is not better. The Ultimate Short Stroke is the smoothest and lightest on the market and it is affordable.\n\n1. Hammer Travel from “Rest” to “Full Cock” should be the same on any two guns. If one hammer pulls farther back, this will throw you off when shooting.\n\n2. Trigger Setback. The trigger should be significantly farther back than a stock gun when at rest. This means less motion of the trigger finger. The trigger on a gun improperly short stroked, without Trigger Setback, will move back and forth 1/2 inch and feel mushy. It almost feels as if something is broken inside the gun. Setback is hard to do and requires a full understanding of the internal geometry.\n\n3. Hammer Stops. With a Hammer Stop, the hammer will stop moving when the trigger sets. This will reduce wear on the pawl/hand and the cylinder ratchet.\n\n4. Loading Position of the Cylinder. Pull the hammer to “half cock”, open the loading gate and rotate the cylinder counter clockwise until it stops. The cylinder you are about to load should be centered in the loading window."

"The HEAT Is On: Dehydration and Sports\n\nA bizarre air conditioning malfunction in game one of the NBA Finals in San Antonio left the Miami HEAT’s biggest star, LeBron James, writhing in pain.\n\nSevere cramps in his legs sidelined the team’s leader, and dashed the hopes of a HEAT victory for the game. Temperatures inside the arena climbed to over 90 degrees for most of the contest, creating a potentially dangerous situation for players used to the comforts of a cool venue. The unusually high temperature was caused by an unexplained electrical failure in the power system that runs the AC system in the AT&T Center.\n\nThis is not the first time that James has been hard hit by dehydration during the NBA Playoffs or Finals, according to ESPN.\n\nWhether you are a world class athlete, a weekend warrior or someone who works outdoors, staying hydrated can be a challenge in South Florida’s sweltering summer sun.\n\n“Sweat is our body’s way of keeping cool, but when we perspire we lose body fluids and that can lead to dehydration,” she said. “Drinking water or other fluids is a must before you head outdoors to exercise.”\n\nDehydration can become a serious health threat. She added: “Severe dehydration requires immediate medical attention, to avoid progression to heat stroke, which can result in death or cause damage to the brain and other internal organs.”\n\nDr. Hernandez offers these tips on beating the heat:\n\n“My best advice on how to prevent cramps is to not play a basketball game in 100 degree temperatures,” Dr. Selesnick said.",

"For those of us who live in the Maritime provinces, Halifax and the navy seem virtually synonymous. The impact of the British, and later, Canadian, navy have made a huge impact on the area. It is somewhat surprising that for most of its early history, Halifax was quite marginal among the naval yards of the British Empire. This is only one of the themes Gwyn explores in Ashore and Afloat: The British Navy and the Halifax Naval Yard before 1820, a meticulous portrait of the economic impact of the yard in peace and in war.\n\nConstruction of the Halifax yard was undertaken in the 1750s to bolster the British presence and its drive for dominance in North America. Originally designed to combat the French, its fortunes rose and fell with imperial policy. It played a small but significant role until 1819, and reached its zenith during the struggles with the Americans in the War of Independence and the War of 1812. While it proved good value for British pounds, once the possibility of maritime warfare against the United States was extinguished, so too was the yard's importance to Britain in the nineteenth century.\n\nDespite being the largest industrial site in British North America, the yard would have been more useful if it had possessed a dry dock. Without it, Halifax lacked adequate facilities to conduct major repairs, and many ships had to be sent back to England. A dry dock would have also facilitated Haligonian shipbuilding, utilizing the outstanding timber of neighbouring New Brunswick.\n\nThis is only one example of the Navy Board's policies that Gwyn condemns. The word myopia appears frequently in conjunction with the Admiralty and Navy Board. Gwyn demonstrates that the administration that micromanaged the yard from three thousand miles away was seldom up to the task. Had the personnel on site been allowed more autonomy, Halifax, and by extension, the British Empire, would have been better served. [End Page 115]\n\nPart of Halifax's handicap was the administration's blind preference for men and supplies from Britain over anything local. This fact held true for just about everything – whether artisans or materials. When skilled local workers were employed, certainly no Acadian, Aboriginal, or Afro-Nova Scotians would have been given desirable posts. British biases are also evident against local lumber. This is one of the areas where the Halifax yard was unique – its proximity and utilization of timber for the fleet. Even though much of the region's growth would eventually be tied to lumber (mainly from New Brunswick, which was crafted out of the frontiers of Nova Scotia), the motherland was slow to recognize the high quality of local 'sticks' for masts and such.\n\nWhen it came at all, changes in Britain's policies and attitudes occurred under the extreme circumstances that war can bring. Commissioner Wodehouse seems to have been one of the rare individuals who sought and obtained an increased measure of autonomy for the Halifax yard.\n\nWhile the Navy Board was often intractable and ignorant, the other serious drawback was that inclement weather rendered Halifax harbour hazardous in winter. Such circumstances are difficult to overcome, and anyone who has endured a Maritime winter can appreciate why the fleet opted primarily for the Bermuda base when the American menace evaporated.\n\nDespite being entitled Ashore and Afloat, Gwyn's book deals largely with the naval yard's affairs ashore. Gwyn is correct in emphasizing the importance of the Halifax yard to the town, yet we are mainly shown its economic impact. Even though the book jacket claims there are 'no stones unturned' in this study, Gwyn makes only a few allusions to the social and cultural influence of the yard and the navy.\n\nGwyn has provided copious, informative endnotes, a helpful biographical directory, and useful tables, as well as a glossary and illustrations. Stylistically, it is well written in a straightforward and organized manner. Ashore and Afloat is a storehouse...",

"In 1961, Ismail Merchant and James Ivory paid a visit to the German-born novelist Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, then living in Delhi, with a proposal to make a film of her novel The Householder. Jhabvala agreed. She wrote the screenplay for the film herself, in ten days, and the Merchant-Ivory-Jhabvala partnership was inaugurated.\n\nFilmed entirely on location in Delhi, The Householder is a comedy that revolves around Prem (Shashi Kapoor), a young teacher at a boys' college who has been married to the beautiful but retiring Indu (Leela Naidu). Little more than a boy himself, at least in the face of his imperious, impossible mother (Durga Khote), Prem struggles with the burden of his responsibilites as a husband and, when Indu becomes pregnant, with his impending duties as a father. Prem's fumbling and his mother's constant belittling become too much for Indu to bear, and she leaves her husband to return to her family home. Left alone with his mother (who delights in her newfound umbilical arrangement), Prem seeks enlightenment from an older married man, from a swami, and from Westerners who have come to India with orientalist illusions and Silk Road naivété. Only then, in Indu's absence, does Prem fall in love with his wife.\n\nKapoor and Naidu anchor the film with their genuineness as young innocents coming into conflict with tradition; Khote is relentlessly effective as the orthodox Hindu matriarch who never loses an opportunity to recite her own martyrology or criticize her daughter-in-law's housekeeping. The film is a satire and social commentary, but it has also become a historical document of sorts, a record of a now vanished India captured at the moment just before the disappearance of traditional urban middle and upper-middle class life.\n\nThe Indian master-director Satyajit Ray was a major influence on The Householder(Ray himself supervised the music and re-cut the film for Merchant and Ivory). His legendary cameraman, Subatra Mitra, was the director of photography, and the film is infused with the fluid, restrained lyricism that characterizes Ray's work - though in its rhythms and its characters The Householder announces a style of Ivory's own. In these characters - people struggling with a changing society - are hints of some Merchant Ivory personae who will later emerge on other continents: through Prem and Indu we glimpse those rarely-explored places between education and adulthood that are the territory of Henry James; in Prem's mother we see the Forsterian doyenne-tyrant; and throughout The Householder we are brought to that space between cultures that would be the province of later Merchant Ivory films from Shakespeare Wallah(1965) to A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries(1998).",

"Do these conclusions also apply in Scotland, where MAs are a devolved area of responsibility and where there are plans to increase the number of modern apprenticeships in Scotland from 25,000 to 30,000 by 2020? This article looks at some of the available evidence.\n\nSome background: MAs were introduced in Britain in 1994 in response to the decline of traditional apprenticeships, and the loss of skills at craft, supervisory and technical level, compared to what was happening among other major economies. The new apprenticeships offered work based training leading towards an industry approved qualification. They are marketed to young people as a means of getting the appropriate skills and to business as a means of getting the skilled workforce they need.\n\nThe Modern Apprenticeship programme in Scotland is managed by Skills Development Scotland (SDS) quango for the Scottish Government. SDS provides funding and support to employers. In 2014, its operating expenditure on the modern apprenticeship programme and skill seekers was £74.5m. According to its statistics, of those starting apprenticeships in 2014-15, 52% were aged 16 to 19, 27% were 20-24, and 21% were 25 or over: that is, just over half were for young people from school. The split of male/female was 60/40.\n\nNow let’s look in more detail at SDS statistics relevant to how well the MA programme is likely to be meeting economic needs. In terms of level of training, 36% of participants were on apprenticeships leading to qualifications less than school highers level; 61% were on courses leading to the equivalent of a schools higher or HNC qualification; just over 2% were on course for the equivalent of an Ordinary Degree or HND; and the remainder, less than 1%, to an Honours degree. In total, less than 3% were aiming for a post-school level qualification.\n\nIn terms of length of course, the programmes are between 1-4 years long. Statistics are not provided by SDS on the average length by type of course. However, comparison of numbers on courses compared with numbers of entrants suggests that the average participant is in a modern apprenticeship for approximately a year and a half.\n\nAnd in terms of subject areas covered, there are 106 frameworks offered in MA. These are courses designed to cover specific topics such as, for example hairdressing. In total, the highest number of starts was in hospitality at 11.1%, followed by business and administration (10%), social services (9%), and retail (8%). Looking only at men, freight logistics (10%), building (8%) and hospitality (8%) have the greatest number of starts; and for women, social services (21%), business and admin with 17%, hospitality with 15% and retail at 11% are the most popular.\n\nIn interpreting the relevance of these figures, it is worth recalling that both UK and Scottish governments have repeatedly stressed the need to turn the economy around from a high dependency on the services sector, particularly the financial sector, to one more broadly based.\n\nManufacturing, for example, has been in steep decline: research, development and innovation are all at low levels. The competitiveness of our export trade and our ability to compete with imports from elsewhere all depend on our re-engineering the economy towards more manufacturing – and as one ingredient in that, we need a highly skilled workforce in the types of trades relevant to manufacturing, research and development. These include, for example, maths, science, engineering, IT and electrical.\n\nOn first entering government in 2007, the SNP acknowledged ‘it is apparent that our modern knowledge economy will be ever-increasingly reliant upon a steady supply of skilled scientists, technologists and engineers….. We believe that the primary aim of the [MA] programme is economic development through enabling individuals to earn while they learn and develop skills relevant to their job’ (Skills for Scotland 2007).\n\nAnd Scotland has particular problems in that, in 2015, it is still the case that productivity is lower than the UK average, which itself has lower productivity than a number of EU competitor countries and the US.\n\nAgainst this background, the Scottish figures given above suggest that the aforementioned criticisms of what is happening to MAs down south are equally valid here in Scotland. Programmes so heavily based on hospitality, business administration and retail are unlikely to be vital ingredients of any policy to restructure the economy. They reflect the fact that the service sector dominates the Scottish economy. The continuing very low numbers entering modern apprenticeships in engineering, IT, and science based subjects are a cause for concern.\n\nMany sectors that supply goods to us daily have few or no MA starts. So for example, there are no MAs for the framework courses of food manufacture, or of meat and poultry processing, despite the Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise promoting the food sector as being a Scottish success story. The country is experiencing a massive increase in the hugely subsidised wind turbine industry, and yet only two people were taken on as MAs.\n\nAnd although MAs are frequently publicised as a means of obtaining high level skills, the evidence above on the level of training provided through the MA programme suggests that the bulk of participants are not attaining qualifications significantly above school level. This is not surprising as we have seen above that the average participant is in the programme for only 18 months.\n\nThese conclusions might seem to run counter to evidence which the SDS has published on satisfaction with the MA scheme. In July 2014, SDS carried out an online survey of MAs to determine their level of satisfaction with the scheme. The report stated the MA programme is ‘highly regarded by the majority of [Mas] with almost all of them (98%) saying it is useful and over three-quarters saying it is very useful’.\n\nHowever, this evidence has to be treated with great caution. The survey had been sent to all MAs with valid email addresses (13,600 out of 37,338 in training). Just 1,531 replied. And although SDS weighted their survey results on age and gender, we have no idea about whether those without emails, or those who chose not to respond to the survey, actually had quite a different view of satisfaction as compared with those responding.\n\nRecording that ‘At the 95% confidence level, the sample size of 1, 531 provides a confidence interval of 2.5%’ seems at best a brave statement and at worst just plain wrong. All one can say is that of the 1,531 respondents, 98% found it useful. We cannot attribute this percentage to the population of all modern apprentices. It is impossible to say, therefore, on this basis how satisfied apprentices are with their courses. Without a proper analysis of potential non-response bias, the high level of satisfaction reported should certainly not be taken as any strong indicator of the success of the programme. And, of course, the level of satisfaction says very little about how relevant the MAs are to the need to transform the economy.\n\nFollowing the recommendations of the Commission for Developing Scotland’s Young Workforce in May 2014, the Scottish Government has set itself the following goal in relation to MAs: ‘ The number of [MAs] at level 3 and above to be increased. The target is for 20,000 out of a total of 30,000 MA starts to be at this level by 2021.’ Level 3 is up to the equivalent of an HNC, and is still below a post-school qualification.\n\nAnd, in May 2015, the Scottish Parliament debated modern apprenticeships. In the final motion, it recognised ‘the success of the modern apprenticeship (MA) programme’. In addition, it resolved to encourage ‘employers to consider workforce development and higher workforce skills that support long-term sustainable growth’. Such aspirations, fundamental to transforming the economy, require a grasp of why the distribution of MAs is as it is, and what mechanisms can be used to change it.\n\nThe evidence we have presented here suggests the MA programme is not meeting what is required to transform the Scottish economy: on average, an apprentice will spend 18 months on an MA to a level below the equivalent of higher education. If the government’s aspirations are for ‘improved pathways for progression to degree-level qualifications in a work-based setting’, then it is time for a serious re-appraisal of the programme.\n\nMargaret and Jim Cuthbert are independent economists and statisticians who conduct research for the Jimmy Reid Foundation (see http://reidfoundation.org/?s=cuthbert)"
