"Lengthy earlier than Adam Sandler inked a Netflix deal and gave us presents like Murder Mystery and Hubie Halloween, he was making blockbuster comedies with the standard suspects (Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Kevin James, to call a number of). They is probably not vital darlings, however these Joyful Madison flicks have raked within the huge bucks time and time once more. Amongst them is Grown Ups, a comedy that includes a lot of Sandler’s crew – and it’s now streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime for all you Sandler followers and informal viewers alike.\n\nGROWN UPS: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?\n\nThe Gist: In 1978, 5 youngsters carry their center college basketball crew to victory with the assistance of their beloved outdated coach, “Buzzer” Fernando (Blake Clark). Many years later, after Buzzer passes away, the group reunites to pay tribute to him on the lakeside cabin the place they as soon as celebrated their victory as youngsters. The 5 buddies are Lenny (Adam Sandler), a Hollywood expertise agent, Eric (Kevin James), who claims to co-own a garden furnishings firm, Kurt (Chris Rock), a stay-at-home dad, Marcus (David Spade), the lone wolf (and womanizer) of the group, and Rob (Rob Schneider), who’s one thing of a hippie and will get ragged on for his much-older third spouse. The group additionally carry alongside their wives, youngsters, and Kurt’s mother-in-law, which solely provides to the chaos of the journey.\n\nIntent on reigniting outdated friendships and reliving their glory days, the boys quickly uncover that they maybe aren’t as grown up as they appear to be, and the immature shenanigans enter full swing. Can this disillusioned group rediscover the worth of friendship and household and begin to course of what it actually means to grow old and depart the previous within the rearview mirror? Maybe this lakeside journey and a few pratfalls, goofy gags, and heartwarming moments will assist reveal what’s actually necessary in life.\n\nWhat Films Will It Remind You Of?: Grown Ups will doubtless call to mind different Joyful Madison titles, however it could additionally evoke buddy group shenanigan films like Tag, Hot Tub Time Machine, and Without a Paddle, and sure, the movie’s sequel, Grown Ups 2.\n\nEfficiency Price Watching: Gotta hand this one to the late, nice Norm Macdonald, who performs odd-man-out fisherman Geezer. Whereas lots of his funniest scenes had been lower from the movie, he nonetheless manages to steal the present each time he seems, satisfied he’s one of the best buddy of Sandler’s character Lenny. Macdonald’s cameos in Sandler’s flicks over time had been typically a brilliant mild in in any other case lackluster tales, and his efficiency in Grown Ups isn’t any exception.\n\nMemorable Dialogue: So lots of the jokes in Grown Ups are low-cost, gross, or have aged extraordinarily poorly, however the youngsters believing that getting “wasted” means you may have a hankering for ice cream and saying “I wish to get wasted day-after-day of my life,” and “I wish to get chocolate wasted!” stays one of many movie’s extra memorable scenes.\n\nOur Take: Now over a decade outdated, Grown Ups maybe performs much more poorly than it did when it was launched. Armed with drained fats jokes, mildly homophobic bits, and a few genuinely revolting bodily gags involving cake, canine poop, and breastmilk, it’s actually not Sandler and his crew at their greatest. That is true of many a Joyful Madison manufacturing, and it’s not the worst by an extended shot (bear in mind Jack & Jill and You Don’t Mess With the Zohan? Woof.), however with a solid as stacked as Grown Ups‘ is, one hopes that the fabric may dwell as much as the caliber of lots of the movie’s performers. This isn’t the case, even when there are a number of moments that verge on humorous or heartwarming.\n\nGrown Ups, for all of the shit it (rightfully) will get for a lot of of its low-cost jokes and crude gags, has an enormous coronary heart. The stakes are extremely low – a lot of the flick is simply dudes hanging out – and there’s clearly quite a lot of love current between these males. It’s additionally very watchable, even with all its cringe-inducing, juvenile humor. The script clearly desires to say one thing about realizing the significance of household and what it means to get older, however the emotional nuance current in flicks like Judd Apatow’s, which regularly deal with these themes, by no means makes an look in Grown Ups. All that mentioned, nevertheless, the field workplace – and the Maseratis Sandler gifted to every of his costars after the movie’s unbelievable efficiency – speaks for itself. The guts desires what the guts desires, even when it’s extremely silly.\n\nOur Name: SKIP IT. Whereas Grown Ups could also be pleasing for these keen to show their brains off and neglect what yr we dwell in, it could’t maintain a candle to lots of Sandler’s different flicks.\n\nJade Budowski is a contract author with a knack for ruining punchlines, hogging the mic at karaoke, and thirst-tweeting. Comply with her on Twitter: @jadebudowski."

"As the world unshrivels and begins to embrace the pandemic ending vaccine, countries such as the UAE are leading the way for the revival of tourism and trade. Here are 25 live arts, sports and cultural events that will have you hooked to Dubai.\n\nDubai is basking in its glow of tourism success right now with the Emirates orbiting high in a world of its own. Dubai chose not to live under a rock but to accept the prevailing pandemic risks and manage them with world-class standards and practices.

"How is Dubai Keeping Everyone Safe?\n\nThe UAE aims to vaccinate 50 per cent of its population by April 2021, health officials recently stated. This is an ambitious and a realistic target for UAE, despite its comparative countries by population size and economic development (apart from Israel) still struggling to define a publicly declarable near-term target statistic or secure a significant and material quantity of vaccination.\n\nAs far as statistics go, the UAE, with a population of just under 10m, is providing free vaccination to the public with more than 1m vaccines (as on January 9 2021) administered in the 20 days since the first day of the vaccination exercise. Israel is the only country to beat UAE’s inoculation rate, with 20% of the population vaccinated. On a side note, it is merely a coincidence that Israel is heading for a legislative election on March 23, 2021, with Benjamin Netanyahu’s Prime Ministership up for grabs!\n\nApart from the pandemic ending vaccine being made available to all residents, Dubai has stringent social restrictions to ensure any future cluster breakout is limited.",

"“A flavorful, low ABV beer perfect for summer and poolside beer from the Union County brewery.”\n\nWe took Wrought Gold, our American blonde ale brewed with fresh blood orange purée to deliver the ultimate refreshment. This summer sipper is sure to satisfy with smooth sensations of sweetness. The base beer boasts smooth, round flavors of malt and slightly juicy Liberty hops, fermented with an English ale yeast.\n\nA relatively short amount of time for another Blonde Ale considering I don’t drink many of them. But the frequency of these two Blonde Ale reviews should speak to their quality. That said, this definitely different than the previous Blonde Ale featured here at the Tap Takeover. Two Ton has been around the NJ Craft Beer scene for a few years, I first sampled their fine brews during the 2015 Garden State Brewfest. I remember their beer being tasty and the owners, brothers Matt and Jim Barbiere and their father Mario, being extremely nice guys. At the time, Two Ton was contract brewing with their HQ based out of Linden, NJ, my hometown. More recently (in 2018), they opened in Kenilworth, NJ. This past year, they began distributing cans of their beer which leads to this beer specifically.\n\nBlonde Ales are typically easy drinking, approachable beers. I’ve had the original Wrought Gold and remembered enjoying the beer so I was pleased to see this variant appear in the refrigerated shelves of my local Wegmans. I had a feeling it might be a good poolside / summer beer and I had a few people coming over that day, one of whom loves Blood Orange.\n\nPop of the can and the strong, pleasant, inviting aroma of the Blood Orange asserts itself. The beer pours a reddish gold and the potent aroma of citrus/oranges is even more noticeable. Although the fruit is “Blood Orange,” the look of the beer, is more of a “strawberry blonde.” Regardless, the beer looks as I would expect it to look.\n\nThe pronounced Blood Orange flavor dominates. That is a feature, not a bug, by the way. Blonde Ales are often not too assertive, they are beer flavored beer for the most part. The American versions at least, tend to not lean too much on the malt, not too much on the hops so the beer style is good for its approachability and its ability to take on a flavor adjunct. I mentioned the citrus element from the Blood Orange…that is quite different than the citrus element some hops impart. There’s a very distinct citrus sweetness that I can only compare to the most potent orange juice I’ve had blended with beer. It makes for a good combination, at least for my taste buds.",

"Comparative Analysis of Cassandra and MongoDB\n\nYou must have undoubtedly come across Apache Cassandra and MongoDB if you are looking for a robust NoSQL database. These two popular NoSQL options have a lot less in common than you may think. They are both NoSQL databases that provide companies with dependable scalability for modern data requirements. Launched in succession, Cassandra was created in 2008, while MongoDB came a year later. Both are open-source and have a substantial support community.\n\nThis is where the similarities between the two NoSQL databases end. This blog is a detailed comparison of Cassandra vs MongoDB, as well as how the two databases vary from each other. We’ll start from the basics and then learn the major differences between them.\n\nNoSQL is an approach to database management that can handle lots of data models, such as key-values, documents, binary, and graph models. These databases are non-relational, decentralized, flexible, and scalable databases. Several NoSQL database systems can be found as open-source software.\n\nOriginally, the name NoSQL could be interpreted literally, meaning that SQL was not utilized as the data access API. However, due to SQL’s widespread use and utility, several NoSQL databases have included SQL functionality. The acronym NoSQL, which stands for “Not Only SQL”, is now widely recognized.\n\nHave a look at some of the advantages of using NoSQL databases:\n\nWhat is Apache Cassandra?\n\nApache Cassandra (or just Cassandra) is an open-source and distributed NoSQL database that originated as a Facebook internal project, but in 2008 got published as an open-source project. Cassandra provides modern applications with accessibility (zero downtime), higher performance, and linear scaling, along with operational simplicity and easy replication across data centers and countries.\n\nCassandra can manage petabytes of data and thousands of simultaneous operations per second, allowing businesses to manage huge volumes of data in hybrid and multi-cloud settings.\n\nCassandra’s popularity stems from its impressive technological capabilities. Salient features of Cassandra include:\n\nElastic scalability: Cassandra is extremely scalable, allowing for the addition of more hardware to handle more people and data as needed.\n\nAlways on architecture: The majority of traditional databases feature a primary / secondary architecture. In these configurations, a single primary replica performs read and write operations, while secondary replicas are only able to perform read operations. Downsides to this architecture include increased latency, as well as higher costs and lower availability at scale. In Cassandra, no single node is in charge of replicating data across a cluster. Instead, every node is capable of performing all the read-and-write operations. This improves performance and adds resiliency to the database.\n\nFast linear-scale performance: Cassandra offers linear scalability, which means that as the number of nodes in the cluster grows, so does the capacity. As a result, it maintains a rapid response time.\n\nFlexible data storage: Cassandra supports a wide range of data types, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. It can dynamically adapt to changes in the data structures based on the requirements.\n\nScalability: Expanding applications in conventional setups is a time-consuming and expensive operation that is generally performed by scaling vertically. Cassandra enables the simple addition of extra nodes to the cluster. This increases the capacity to the next level. For example, if four nodes can manage 200,000 transactions per second, then eight nodes can handle 400,000 transactions per second.\n\nFast writes: Cassandra was built from the ground up to run on low-cost commodity hardware. It has lightning-fast write speeds and can store hundreds of terabytes of data without compromising read speed.\n\nMongoDB is a free, open-source, and document-oriented database that can hold a vast amount of data and allow you to deal with it quickly. Because MongoDB does not store or retrieve data in the form of tables, it is classified as a NoSQL (Not Only SQL) database.\n\nIt was originally developed and managed by MongoDB.Inc, which was first published in February 2009 under the SSPL (Server Side Public License). It also includes certified driver compatibility for all common programming languages, including C, C++, C#, and others. Net, Go, Java, Node.js, Perl, PHP, Python, Motor, Ruby, Scala, Swift, and Mongoid are all examples of programming languages. As a result, any of these languages may be used to construct applications.\n\nDocument Oriented: MongoDB stores all data in documents rather than tables. In these documents, data is kept in fields (key-value pairs) rather than rows and columns, making the data considerably more flexible than in relational database management systems. Also, each document has its unique object ID for ease of identification.\n\nIndexing: Each field in the document gets indexed with main and secondary indexes in the MongoDB database, making it much simpler and quicker to obtain or search data from the plethora of data.\n\nScalability: MongoDB uses sharding to achieve horizontal scalability. Sharding refers to the distribution of data over several servers. In this case, a significant quantity of data gets partitioned into data chunks using the shard key, and these data pieces are uniformly distributed among shards that span multiple physical servers. It may also be used to add additional machines to an existing database.\n\nReplication: MongoDB enables high availability and resilience by creating several backups of the data and sending these to separate servers. This ensures that if one server fails, the data can be recovered from another.\n\nAggregation: It enables you to execute operations on grouped data and obtain a single or calculated result. It’s equivalent to the GROUPBY clause in SQL. Aggregation pipelines, map-reduce functions, and single-purpose aggregation methods are among the three types of aggregations available in MongoDB.\n\nHigh Performance: Due to characteristics such as scalability, indexing, and replication, MongoDB has a very high speed and data permanence as compared to other databases.\n\nIn terms of data storage, Cassandra is more similar to relational databases. It’s a table-based, column-oriented database that enables users to build columns and tables on the fly. Furthermore, Cassandra doesn’t require identical columns in every row. The primary key is used to get data from a tabular database.\n\nMongoDB, on the other side, is an object-oriented database. The data is stored using BSON (Binary JSON) and supports a wide range of object structures, including nested object structures. MongoDB is significantly more versatile than Cassandra since it doesn’t require a schema. If necessary, you can construct a schema in MongoDB.\n\nWhen comparing Cassandra vs MongoDB, it’s worth noting that Cassandra has a cluster that can support master nodes. The multiplicity master nodes are a unique characteristic that allows another node to take over when one node fails. This eventually makes the clusters keep on running and available at all times.\n\nCassandra supports many master nodes, substantially improving write scalability. In a cluster, users can define the number of nodes as desired. The more nodes a system will have, the more scalable that database becomes.\n\nWhereas, there’s only one master node allowed in MongoDB. Slave nodes make up the rest of a cluster. You can only read data from the slave nodes while data is being written to the master node. MongoDB is not as scalable as Cassandra because of its master-slave design. Sharding methods, on the other hand, can increase MongoDB’s scalability. These may, however, need a proper setup.\n\nYou can write to a cluster even if a node fails since Cassandra supports multiple master nodes. Because MongoDB only allows for a single master, you may have to wait 10 to 40 seconds for write operations if a node fails. In terms of scalability, Cassandra outperforms MongoDB.\n\nAggregation enables the execution of complicated queries. There is no aggregating mechanism in Cassandra. For aggregation, administrators must utilize third-party technologies like Hadoop and Spark.\n\nMongoDB, on the other hand, includes a built-in aggregation mechanism. It can combine stored data and provide results via an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) pipeline. However, the database’s built-in aggregation is only effective for modest traffic and the aggregated architecture grows more complicated as you scale.\n\nMongoDB completely supports secondary indexes, which can help improve query processing. Any property of an object, even nested objects, can be queried very rapidly.\n\nWhen it comes to the schema, you must choose whether you want a flexible database or a stationary database.\n\nMongoDB is a database that doesn’t require a schema, which makes it inherently more flexible. The default setup in previous versions did not impose any schema at all. You may now choose whether or not you want a schema. Because of this versatility, the database may accept documents with various formats and then interpret them in the program. That makes MongoDB a flexible database.\n\nOn the other side, Cassandra is a database that is considerably more stationary. It allows individuals for static typing while still requiring the classification and specification of columns ahead of time.\n\nThe performance of both Cassandra and MongoDB gets influenced by a variety of things. The database model (or schema) makes a significant difference in performance quality since some are better suited to MongoDB and others to Cassandra.\n\nFurthermore, the load characteristics of the application that your database must serve are critical. Cassandra, with its many master nodes, will perform better if you expect a lot of data. Both MongoDB and Cassandra will function well in case of heavy load output.\n\nWhen it comes to consistency needs, many people believe MongoDB has the upper hand. But it varies depending on the type of application. You may also manually configure Cassandra to suit your consistency requirements.\n\nNoSQL is an approach to database management that can handle lots of data models. Often found as open-source software, these databases are non-relational, decentralized, flexible, and scalable. Two of the most popular NoSQL databases Cassandra and MongoDB, which are widely used by larger global players, have lots of different things to offer.\n\nWhile Apache Cassandra is an open-source and distributed NoSQL database, MongoDB is a free, open-source, and document-oriented NoSQL database that is capable of storing and processing large amounts of data quickly. The blog outlines all the main differences and details about them along with covering all the features from the grass-roots level."

"A large study focusing on newborn babies with clinically diagnosed sepsis has revealed the impact of antibiotic resistance on neonatal sepsis, a major cause of death in newborns.\n\nAt the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) released a second wave of findings from its study on the outcomes of more than 3,200 newborns with neonatal sepsis, a life-threatening bloodstream infection that affects up to 3 million babies a year. The study shows that an increasing number of babies die of resistant infections as the current treatments have become ineffective.\n\nThe observational study, conducted by GARDP and key partners from 2018 to 2020, was carried out at 19 hospitals in 11 high-, middle- and low-income countries across four continents. It assessed which antibiotics are currently being used to treat newborns suffering from sepsis, and to what extent resistance makes these treatments ineffective. The aim of the study was to inform the development of improved antibiotic treatment regimens for neonatal sepsis worldwide.\n\n“Babies are especially vulnerable to infections because of their underdeveloped immune systems,” said Sally Ellis, Children’s Antibiotics Project Leader for GARDP. “Compounding the problem is that babies are dying because of the lack of good treatment options. This study has given us a wealth of data on neonatal sepsis to design new and improved treatments specifically for babies.”\n\nOverall, 11% of newborns with suspected neonatal sepsis died across hospitals and regions during the study period. This increased to 18% in newborns where a pathogen was detected in their blood culture. Moreover, the mortality varied markedly between hospitals, ranging from 1% to 27%.\n\nPrincipal Investigator Mike Sharland from St George’s, University of London, who is also the Antimicrobial Resistance Programme Lead at Penta–Child Health Research, said: “Our study has shown that antibiotic resistance is now one of the major threats to newborn health globally. There are virtually no studies underway on developing novel antibiotic treatments for babies with sepsis caused by multidrug-resistant infections. This is a major problem for babies in all countries, both rich and poor. This study has allowed us to design a major new global trial of new treatments with a goal to reduce mortality from neonatal sepsis.”\n\nThe study showed that the use of antibiotics varied noticeably across sites in Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Greece, India, Italy, Kenya, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam and Uganda, with many different antibiotic combinations being used, often without any underlying data.\n\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the standard antibiotics – ampicillin plus gentamicin – for the treatment of neonatal sepsis, but the study showed that many hospitals are using other combinations due to high levels of resistance to the WHO-recommended treatment.\n\nThe findings highlighted a worrying trend that many physicians were forced to use last-line agents such as carbapenems due to the high degree of antibiotic resistance in their treatment units. Last-line antibiotics were prescribed to 15% of babies with neonatal sepsis enrolled in the study.\n\nThese results are in line with the recently released Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) study. It found that antibiotic resistance is growing and killing many more people of all ages than previously known: in 2019 alone, nearly 1.3 million deaths were caused by bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including nearly 140,000 deaths in newborns.\n\nGARDP carried out the neonatal sepsis study in collaboration with St George’s, University of London; Penta–Child Health Research; the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit at University College London (MRC CTU at UCL), whose research team led in analysing the data; and the University of Antwerp.\n\n“There is an urgent need to develop and ensure access to novel antibiotic treatments to keep pace with rising rates of drug-resistant infections among babies with neonatal sepsis,” said Manica Balasegaram, executive director of GARDP. “We are incredibly grateful to our numerous partners and funders who have given us essential support to make this observational study possible. Guided by these new insights, we have the opportunity to place children at the centre of the international response to antibiotic resistance.”\n\nGARDP is using the data from this study to design an upcoming interventional trial, which plans to identify better treatment regimens to overcome resistance to the current recommended treatment regimens. The NeoSep1 trial will test the safety and effectiveness of three potential new antibiotic combination treatments, ranking them against existing commonly used antibiotic regimens for neonatal sepsis. It will also look into the relative effectiveness of other approved but less commonly used antibiotic treatments and describe local patterns of antibiotic resistance. The trial will begin in Kenya and South Africa later this year and will be expanded in up to eight additional countries in 2023.\n\n“The observational study provides very important insights on the status of resistance against the current treatments for neonatal sepsis,” commented Hanan Balkhy, the Assistant Director-General for AMR at the WHO. “We are now starting the process to review and update the WHO guidelines for the treatment of neonatal sepsis. These findings as well as the upcoming GARDP trial will provide important evidence for this process.”\n\nFor doctors and staff working in neonatal wards, the observational study has been an important step forward.\n\nGARDP has released a report with several recommendations to strengthen the international response to neonatal sepsis.\n\nWith a firm belief that every person and community should have access to the best possible care, Getinge provides hospitals and life science institutions with products and solutions aiming to improve clinical results and optimise workflows. The offering includes products and solutions for intensive care, cardiovascular procedures, operating theatres, sterile reprocessing and life science."

"HomeBlogHow human activities can have an impact on natural disasters?\nBlog\n\nHow human activities can have an impact on natural disasters?\n\nScientists state that human activities have become a trigger for many natural disasters. Do scientists big up our influence on nature or not?\n\nDifferent Ways Of How Human Activities Can Trigger Natural Disasters\n\nAll kinds of human activities leave the indelible imprint on nature, whether we like it or not. Scientists focus extensively on estimating the level of human engagement to the occurrence of natural disasters. Some people still doubt that humanity is able to influence nature to that extent; however, pallid statistics claim the opposite.\n\nThe Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) has been studying this issue for over 40 years and has published the report according to which within 19 years (1994-2013) 6,973 natural disasters took 1.35 million lives.\n\nThe number of reported natural disasters increases every year. One of the reasons for it is the development of the data collection methods and raising awareness of different agencies that actively search for information about natural disasters.\n\nHuman activities can have an impact on natural disasters\n\nWe used to blame climate change as a reason for all the natural disasters. However, it seems that humanity conceives disasters as a new DIY project.\n\nSo what human activities can have an impact on natural disasters?\n\nWhich of the following human activities can increase the risks of flooding?\n\nWhen do the rivers start to flood? Usually, it happens when the water starts to overflow the banks of the river and spreads out onto the surroundings. There may be several reasons for it:\n\nHow can human interference cause a flood?\n\nDeforestation is rightfully considered to be one of the most destructive activities. People destroy vegetation that protects the topsoil and absorbs excess rainwater with its roots. As a result, high water freely spreads in the region leaving less time for rescue activities.\n\nAgriculture, similar to deforestation, destroys the topsoil so it has to possibility to absorb rainwater. Consequently, more water will wash into the riverbed and the water system becomes overloaded. The water level rises and that inevitably leads to floods.\n\nUrban development is another aspect that increases the possibility of flooding.\nFirst and foremost, all the surfaces in the town or city are covered with cement or asphalt. Naturally, these materials do not absorb rainwater so it has to search for the remaining water channels. Any blunder in the venting system may lead to the water spill over.\nIn addition, levees are often used as a way to gain more land for a settlement. One of the downsides of levees is the water level rising in the rivers near the cities. Potentially, the levees issues may cause a huge flood when all the excess water that was restrained by the levees starts to spread in the surroundings.\n\nSame is with the destruction of the natural wetlands. People ditch swamps, destroy natural obstacles for watercourses and water collection areas. As a result, excess water finds new ways and they all trend near or through human settlements.\n\nHydroelectric power is impossible without dam constructions. Apart from the dangers of earthquakes, dams can cause floods. The whole process of obtaining electric power through the water power plant requires a huge reservoir of water which flow is thoroughly regulated. Any miscalculation may lead to the catastrophe.\n\nEarthquakes: One of the recent examples is the earthquake in China in 2008. Newly created Zipingpu Reservoir contained 320 million tons of water that and all that weight pushed on the crust fracture.\n\nFlooding: in 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans and the 50 failures of levees have led to huge flooding that covered 80% of New Orleans. It took more than 1,800 lives and damaged more than 100,000 houses and buildings.\n\nAvalanches: In 2006 the Philippines have witnessed one of the most disastrous avalanches in history. A rockslide leveled a mountain village Giunsaugon to the ground killing thousands of people. The reason for it was uncontrolled deforestation and mining around the village.\n\nLandslides: On 20th December 2015 a landslide in Shenzhen killed 70 people and destroyed 14 factory buildings. The reason for it was an artificially made dump of the excavated soil with a height over 100 meters that was brought down by the heavy rain.\n\nHow can human activities affect the frequency and impact of natural disasters?\n\nAll the examples depicted above show that the reason was human activity, be it faulty levees system or incogitant deforestation. Saved vegetation, well-thought-out draining systems in the settlements, correct placement of dams or scrupulous regulation of mining and fracking could save thousands of lives.\n\nAll in all, the increasing number of disasters that are caused or worsened by humans is a warning sign. Rising awareness and engagement of the governmental agencies is the only way to improve the situation and flesh out a more responsible way of the interaction with nature. Otherwise, the situation will worsen every day causing more and more deaths of the civilian population.",

"Our recent public forum organised by Rise of Sarawak Efforts (Rose) on the topic ‘GST and Periuk Nasi Kitak’ (GST and Your Rice Bowl) in Kuching received an encouraging response from the student community, members of the public and friends from NGO circles.\n\nAbout 80 people turned up on Saturday night, 3 March 2018, at a local hotel to listen to the two invited panelists, Dr Muhammed Abdul Khalid and Azrul Azwar Ahmad Tajuddin, who are both economists by training.\n\nThe forum was organised by Rose in partnership with another NGO known as Lawyer Kamek For Change and had the support of other local NGOs. Its aim was to raise awareness of the subject of GST, the rising costs of living and other issues affecting young people.\n\nThe audience listened attentively to the members of the panel as they answered and discussed a series of questions put to them by the moderator of the forum, Geoffrey Tang, a Rose member.\n\nOn the question of GST and whether Malaysia was prepared for the implementation of this consumption tax and whether GST is the cause of the increase in prices of goods and services, both panelists agreed that it was indeed a major contributor to rising prices.\n\nThe fall in the value of the ringgit and the withdrawal of government subsidies, which happened at around the same time, further contributed to the burden of rising prices. There was no chance for the people to make adjustments for this.\n\nMuhammed also took the audience through the history of the GST before its implementation and felt that the GST contributes to the regressive tax system in Malaysia. It is the poor who felt the tax burden the most, not the rich. This was because the poor spend a much greater percentage of their pay or income on goods and services than the rich. Both panelists surmised that Malaysia needs a more progressive tax system.\n\nSupport the struggle to build a Malaysia based on Justice, Freedom, Solidarity:\nREAD MORE: Sabah and Sarawak were promised religious freedom\n\nOn the disconnect between what the people experience on the ground ie the rising prices of food, housing and transport and the government’s proclamation that our country’s GDP and economy is doing very well (5.9% in the fourth quarter of 2017), the panelists unpacked this by delving into what GDP means.\n\nGDP is not reflective of the wealth and quality of life/quality of jobs that the people have nor the sustainability of the economy. Some simple proof: even though the GDP of Sarawak is the same as that of Selangor’s, the average household income of Sarawakians is half that of Selangorians.\n\n“Don’t be obsessed with GDP figures,” advised Muhammed. “Instead we should ask these questions and find solutions to them: Why is one in four of Sarawakian children stunted? Why are many of our youths and young graduates unemployed with unemployment rates as high as 10.5%? Half of our graduates earn less than RM2,000 per month and this has been so for the last 10 years”.\n\n“Of what use is high GDP or a booming economy if it does not benefit the rakyat?” asked Azrul Azwar. Currently, we are experiencing stagnant wages; the increase in wages cannot catch up with the rising cost of living and inflation.\nNot enough high-income jobs are being created for our graduates, and there is even a drop in the number of available jobs. Annually, 60,000-80,000 new graduates cannot get jobs.\n\n“To solve any problem we first need to acknowledge the problem. And if those in charge or policy-makers refuse to do so you have a problem,” referring to the words of a minister who said that those graduates who had to sell nasi lemak or become Grab or Uber drivers to earn a living were noble.\n\n“The rakyat need to demand that our leaders are people who have the expertise and who have good values and attitudes and who care.”\n\nAzwar urged the audience especially the young to :\n\nAs for what the government should do, Azrul recommended public ownership of selected sectors such as the provision of social services like healthcare, education and public transport.\n\nThe audience participated in a question-and-answer session and many good questions were put to the panel to answer.\n\nWe hope that the forum has succeeded in showing that issues affecting our everyday lives are very much connected with the policies put forth by the government, which is in turn made up of people whom the voters choose.\n\nAnn Teo of Rose echoed Azrul’s suggestion to participate in civil society and said, “Come and volunteer and participate in our core activities centred around voter empowerment and increasing democratic spaces through citizens’ participation.”\n\nShe also made the call for all, in particular young adults, to register as voters and to go out to vote in the coming general election, describing it as the least that every citizen should do: exercise the right to vote and elect the representatives of their choice."

While from a distance this might seem inconsequential, at the time it was a watershed moment, confirming not only that the rumoured new couple were together but the extremes the paparazzi would go to feed our celebrity obsession.\n\nWhile Brangelina might be nothing more than a relic, the tenacity of the paparazzi is well and truly with us and Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now living at the very centre of the world’s celebrity media machine.",

"The couple have been pictured by roving photographers several times since they decamped from their borrowed Canadian mansion in late March to their perhaps borrowed Los Angeles mansion.

"The couple first spoke of their unhappiness in the royal family during their tour of South Africa. Picture: Chris Jackson/Getty ImagesSource:Contour by Getty Images\n\nIn January, when the couple spectacularly announced they were stepping down as frontline members of the royal family, they also debuted a new website that laid out their plans. Under the media section the site read, “like every member of society, they also value privacy as individuals and as a family”.\n\nThe question here is, if they place such worth on privacy, what did Harry and Meghan think was going to happen when they upped sticks and moved from sleepy Berkshire to the epicentre of paparazzi culture?",

"Despite stepping down as senior royals, the couple remain among the most famous people, and photographed, people in the world. Picture: Daniel Leal-Olivas/AFPSource:AFP\n\nIn the UK their homes offered the couple unparalleled privacy.\n\n‘Nott Cott,’ the two-bedroom cottage they called home is wedged in the middle of the heavily protected compound of Kensington Palace.\n\nThe only time Meghan was ever photographed in the vicinity was when she made a dash for the nearby Whole Foods Market on Kensington High Street and was spotted by a journalist passing by.\n\nThen they moved to Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor Great Park estate. Consider that we have never, ever seen a photo of what the cottage post its $4 million-plus renovation actually looks like from the outside.\n\nNor are there any aerial shots taken of the Georgian property thanks to the fact there are specific rules governing the airspace above royal properties.\n\nInstead, now that Harry and Meghan have left the protected confines of royal life, so too have they said goodbye to being permanently shielded by a slew of legal and practical protections, which meant they could go about their daily lives at home without an enterprising snapper on every corner, or hiking track.",
null,
"Since they left the UK, myriad images of the waterfront Vancouver Island estate where they spent several months have been splashed about. Now, the internet is awash in photos of them walking their dog, delivering food during the lockdown, their new Beverly Hills abode and Harry larking about the garden.\n\nNo amount of black plastic wrap is going to shield them from the lenses.\n\nTheir Los Angeles move is a choice that largely defies logic.\n\nWhen the couple announced they wanted to step back from full time working royal life there was significant sympathy for the duo. Only months earlier they had made their unhappiness apparent with both giving emotional TV interviews.\n\nAnd when they said they were North America-bound, again there was a relative degree of acceptance. Canada, much of the thinking went, would be the perfect halfway point both psychologically (being a Commonwealth country) and geographically, given it is roughly equidistant between the UK and Meghan’s native California.\n\nThen came their dash to Los Angeles reportedly via Perry’s $230 million private plane.\n\nI know, I know – Los Angeles is where Meghan grew up and where her mother Doria Ragland still lives. The “but” here is that prior to moving to London, the former actress lived for seven years in Toronto meaning she has not called the city of angels home for nearly a decade.\n\nAnd while it makes perfect sense that she might now, especially that she too is a mother, want to be near her family, why choose somewhere smack bang in Los Angeles? Why not make like the Sussexes’ bestie Oprah Winfrey and opt for an estate in Santa Barbara, which is only an hour and a half away and would offer vastly more privacy?\n\nWhich leaves us with the particular conundrum of why a couple so keen on shielding their family from prying eyes would trade a rural island for a city with the greatest concentration of paparazzi per capita?\n\nWe might not have an answer to this particular riddle but we are now seeing the reality of the Sussexes’ decision play out in high definition pixels.\n\nSure, the property where the Sussexes are now living is the archetypical grandiose pile that springs to mind when you hear Beverly Hills but that’s not what they left royal life for.\n\nAll of this might not be nice or fair but this is the realistic price they will be forced to pay again and again for choosing the middle of Los Angeles as a home base – and it is this calculation that is so baffling."

If a project gets green light then a startup will effectively be created. “Within nine months it must be clear if such a new company has the potential to scale further up,” explains co-founder and fund manager Pieter Van de Velde, who has already established the innovation studio Bundl.\n\n“There must be a potential to scale up internationally”\n\nIn fact, main selection criteria are to be IoT, AI, VR, AR, Software related, bring value creation, international impact, connection to end consumer and international scalability. “There must be a potential to scale up internationally”, claims co-investor Olivier Van Duüren, who became independent consultant in 2016 after a career of 22 years at Microsoft.\n\nThe investors behind 9.5 Magnitude don’t ask for specific consulting fees.\n\n“We can only speak about return once a company has effectively been established, but we prefer a few top players with high chance for success than a random investment. This is the best guarantee for the companies with which we want to collaborate”, says Van de Velde.\n\n“With a vision of hitting hard, rather than hitting many, we’re selecting and launching 12 corporate ventures over the next 3 years”\n\nNotably that the panthers of 9.5 Magnitude have already foreseen an investment budget of €10 mio. And since the beginning of January there are already concrete dossiers on the table.\n\nThis “skin in the game” concept in which a consultant participates himself in the financial risk is relatively new in the Belgian venture capital sector. On the contrary in the Anglosaxon world, where funds like Venturespring Ignite, RocketSpace, Founders Factory and Prehype have already gained more experience in this type of corporate venturing.",

"Retail Assist recently visited the Nottingham high street to ask shoppers how they prefer to shop. Now I’m not saying that I was offended, but I’ve never had so many people flee from me before! After Ellie and Sawan (who was with us for work experience) found people who didn’t run away and lined them up for an interview, I asked people what their shopping preferences were.\n\nIn an age where retailers are developing and optimising shopping channels based upon the available technologies, we wanted to ask shoppers whether they were actually using all of the channels available to them, whether they liked these channels and had previously used them to purchase goods.\n\nThe results were somewhat surprising to me. Whilst we interviewed a wide demographic of ages and sexes, the majority of shoppers suggested they still preferred to carry out most of their purchasing on the high street. The reasoning behind this was that shopping was a ‘day out’. People also liked to feel and see the clothing, and try it on before they bought it. Many felt that with the internet or other channels this experience was lost.\n\nThis preference contradicts the high number of store closures that have been announced of late and the thinking by some retailers that there has been a reduction in the need for so many stores on the high street. However the responses that we got were of course influenced by the fact that we were interviewing people who were already out on the high street.\n\nOut of those who did like to shop online the majority of people stated they preferred to use their PC. For others who owned smartphones and tablet devices, the latter was the preferred option, mainly because of the larger screen size. It was surprising that many interviewees had mobile phones which lacked browsing and therefore purchasing capability. One person also stated that she had security fears regarding using her mobile to purchase online.\n\nWhen asked if they would use their mobile to purchase goods in future, some interviewees stated that this wouldn’t be a channel they would use, but others said that they might if they had the technology readily available. There were of course some people who felt totally at ease with shopping via their mobiles; the Amazon app was mentioned several times as a favourite purchasing method, for people who had shopped via the mobile channel already.\n\nThe video provided some interesting findings that I would have not necessarily expected when everything I read in retail publications or hear at industry events suggest a movement away from the high street. What are your thoughts on this, and do you agree with the views of the high street shoppers that we interviewed?"

"To many detractors of Bitcoin and other unbacked cryptocurrencies, stablecoins have become the digital currency of choice. Supposedly backed by fiat currency or currency-like assets, stablecoins have been offered as an alternative both to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and to conventional fiat currencies like the US dollar. But with the Federal Reserve pushing interest rates back to zero, the business models of many stablecoin issuers may be upended, threatening their stability.\n\nWe’ve warned before that stablecoins, unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and others, are still subject to a trust problem. Investors have to trust that the stablecoin issuer actually has sufficient assets backing the stablecoins, so that anyone who tries to redeem the stablecoin can actually get money for them. The temptation to act like a fractional reserve bank and only keep a certain percentage of assets on hand for delivery is very great.\n\nMany stablecoin issuers also hold their assets not in the form of cash or bank deposits, but in short-term securities such as US Treasury securities. For a while that would have been profitable, as interest rates of 1-2% on short-term Treasuries would have brought some profit to the company, allowing it to operate without having to charge investors. But with the return of zero interest rate policy (ZIRP), interest rates have fallen to abysmally low levels.\n\nReturns on Treasury bills out to one year are now at 0.20% or less, significantly cutting into the income of stablecoin issuers who were banking on those interest payments. That means they’ll have to come up with alternative means of making money, such as charging investors for issuing or redeeming stablecoins. That makes owning stablecoins a more expensive proposition than owning traditional cryptocurrencies.\n\nThat would be yet another strike against stablecoins, and would demonstrate that cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin retain all the advantages they have always enjoyed. For investors looking for long-term wealth appreciation, the fact that Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies not only don’t have a trust problem but also don’t charge investors fees for holding, buying, or redeeming currency, means that their investing gains won’t be eaten away by fees. Add to that the ease of rolling over existing retirement assets into a cryptocurrency IRA, and it’s clear that traditional cryptocurrencies won’t be eclipsed by stablecoins anytime soon."

"Aging is the lead risk factor for disease\n\nStudies have shown the aging cell to be the leading risk factor for serious pathology and this is why we target that process to combat disease. Simply put as cells age they become increasingly poor at functioning and repairing damage and this is why tissues and organs fail and we get disease.\n\nTraditional medicine focuses on treating the symptoms of disease, we are focusing on the root cause. We are developing gene therapies that target cellular aging and encourage cellular and tissue regeneration.\n\nAmong the various causes of aging such as cellular senescence, accumulated waste and changes to gene expression are some of the leading risk factors of aging and disease. We are investigating a number of gene targets to help mitigate these forms of damage and one of the most promising avenues of research is telomerase therapy.\n\nThe promise of telomerase therapy\n\nTelomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the very ends of our chromosomes. which form a cap like structure that protects the cells from sensing the chromosome tips as ‘damaged’. The telomeres shorten with each cell division and have been likened to the fuse on a stick of dynamite, steadily burning away until depending on the type of cell, they either enter apoptosis (cell death) or enter replicative arrest known as senescence once becoming too short. It is believed that this cell division timer developed as a means of suppressing tumours and thus preventing cells becoming cancerous and constantly replicating. Studies have demonstrated that critically short telomeres present a barrier to prevent cancer (Artandi and DePinho, 2010).",
null,
"However this tumour suppression mechanism comes at a cost, telomeres in the majority of our tissues grow shorter as we age and ultimately contribute to the failure of organs and tissue. We can see evidence of this with data demonstrating healthy life span correlates with longer telomeres in humans and that the slower telomeres shorten the slower the body succumbs to the consequences of aging. We see this in patients suffering from age related pathology and diseases causing premature aging (Zhu et al, 2011).\n\nIn addition to this it has been observed in the tissues of aging mice and primates, cells with damaged and dysfunctional telomeres accumulate. This observation supports the notion that telomere attrition and cellular senescence promotes aging (Fumagalli et al, 2012; Herbig et al, 2006, Hewitt et al, 2012). A number of eminent researchers propose preventing the build up senescent cells and the resulting toxic signals they send out known as SASP(senescence-associated secretory phenotype) is a cause of aging (Baker et al, 2011, Kirkland et al 2013).\n\nOur body has certain types of cells that can help stabilize telomere lengths within tissues, these Stem can progenitor cells are able to slow down the loss of telomeres by expressing telomerase a type of ribonucleoprotein complex.\n\nCertain cells within our tissues have the ability to stabilize telomere lengths more efficiently than others. Stem and progenitor cells can slow telomere erosion by expression of a ribonucleoprotein complex called telomerase. Telomerase is able to lengthen the telomeres by adding additional telomeric repeats preferentially to telomeres that have become critically short and are at the risk of becoming dysfunctional. This allows the telomere to lengthen again and thus prevents the cell from entering apoptosis or senescence. In direct contrast to stem cells which are able to produce telomerase to a lesser or greater degree depending on cell type, regular somatic cells, which make up the majority of the body, cease expressing telomerase shortly before birth. As a result the telomeres shorten in the majority of our cells as we age and whilst the low levels of telomerase expressed in stem cells are not enough to to totally prevent telomere erosion with age, it does slow down down aging significantly.\n\nWe can see in specially bred knock out mice that have had telomerase function partially or fully reduced that they suffer from accelerated aging. We see similar results in humans where loss of telomerase function leads to age related dysfunction and disease. The presence of active telomerase in stem cells therefore is vital for longevity and health. Indeed in a recent study there is direct correlation between those living to a 100 a beyond with having telomeres that loose length slowly. They concluded that whilst telomeres do not determine living to very old age, centenarians and their offspring maintain telomeres better than non-centenarians which improves their chances of living longer (Hirose, Zglinicki 2015). It is no surprise then that some researchers wonder if it is possible to slow down the aging process and increase healthy lifespan using telomerase delivered to our cells.\n\nYou can learn more about telomerase, the telomere theory of aging and other aging theories here."

"Today were are talking Lithium, and I don’t mean the prescription drug or great Nirvana song. Nope I mean the Lithium PCC 9mm compensator from a company called Ultradyne. The company famously makes the C4 iron sights with their unique sight picture and design. They’ve also dived headfirst into the world of muzzle devices.\n\nThe Lithium PCC aims to tame the recoil of 9mm PCCs, most of which use a simple and reliable direct blowback design. It’s a solid, well-proven way to make a 9mm PCC or subgun, but the downside is recoil. A 9mm PCC recoils like a 5.56 caliber rifle. There is no reason we should accept rifle recoil in a rifle platform from a pistol cartridge. Heck, reducing recoil and muzzle rise is always a noble cause, and as such, the Lithium PCC compensator aims to make any 9mm PCC or subgun a bit more controllable.\n\nHere is where you’ll need two 13/16th wrenches. Index the muzzle device until it’s lined up appropriately, then hold it in place with a wrench. Take your second wrench and work the timing nut counterclockwise against the muzzle device. If you have a torque wrench, it should be 25-foot pounds.\n\nBoom, you’re done. I did this at my kitchen island in about five minutes, with two minutes of getting it just right. I tossed mine on my super short and very handy CMMG Banshee Mk17 AR pistol. It’s a 9mm AR-type pistol with a radial delayed system that already delivers light recoil.\n\nHow do you judge how well a compensator works? I mean, I can certainly tell you how it feels, and I will, but how do you judge raw performance? Well, the closest thing I can figure out is to use the Mantis X10 device. It has a “RecoilMeter” that tracks gun movements throughout a shot. I tested the recoil of the Mk17 with a bare barrel and with the weapon equipped with the Lithium PCC.\n\nWithout the Lithium, the Mk17 had a muzzle rise of .62 degrees. Not bad by any means. The CMMG’s radial delayed system does a great job of reducing recoil and muzzle rise in general. After properly assembling the Lithium onto the Mk17, the muzzle rise went down to .24.\n\nI used the same ammo, the same magazine, the same everything. The Mantis did not move between shots. Man, the Lithium did a fantastic job of cutting down recoil, and the numbers don’t lie.\n\nThe Ultradyne Lithium in Action\n\nI set up a number of my favorite drills and ran them hard with the Lithium-equipped Mk17. I warmed up with box drills and moved into the VTAC 1-5 drills, reload drills, and even shot the old OPOTA SMG qual with the gun. Hot damn, did I see a noticeable difference to the point where I was a little slower than I needed to be. It took a warm-up for me to get used to the effects of the Lithium.\n\nThe big device makes a big difference. It’s notably a stiller weapon. Judging by the movement of my red dot, the recoil is cut significantly. Watching that dot move even less on a gun where the dot already barely moves. Strings of rapid-fire are much easier to control. The Lithium uses two side ports to reduce recoil and four top ports to reduce muzzle rise.\n\nI had zero issues with reliability. Easy with lower-powered ammunition. The Mk17 ate everything as always without complaint or issue. The Lithium won’t impair your gun’s ability to run ragged.\n\nThe ports certainly do their job and reduce both muzzle rise and recoil. The effect on muzzle rise is most noticeable. While lots of people may use something like this for speed, the device does a great job of improving practical accuracy.\n\nWhen I say practical accuracy, I don’t mean the device will tighten your groups up necessarily. A reduction in muzzle rise allows you to stay on target between shots. At 50 yards hitting a four-inch isn’t hard, but doing so quickly can be. A moving gong and a red dot moving between shots create the challenge. When we eliminate or at least minimize the dot’s movement, we can just account for the gong swinging, and that makes laying accurate round down much easier.\n\nThe Lithium compensator does just that. I can focus less on recovering from recoil and more on hitting the slightly moving target. Small targets and PCCs are really more of a competitive game, but hey, you never know when it will translate over to the real world.\n\nIn the spirit of no free lunch, everything you do with a gun is a trade-off. With the Ultradyne Lithium, the trade off’s aren’t huge. First, your gun will be a fair bit louder. That’s the nature of brakes on firearms. Not too big of a deal, but worth noting.\n\nSecond, you do add about 1.5 inches of length to your gun. That can be considered a bad thing when you’re using a gun as small as the Mk17 Banshee. However, it might be worthwhile on a dedicated 14.5-inch barrel. You can pin and weld it to keep it at 16 inches with a muzzle device.\n\nThe Lithium isn’t a small device, but big effects come from big devices. It’s certainly beastly in size, but a little thickness never hurt anyone. The overall effects are by the numbers provable, and the reduction in muzzle rise and recoil can be easily felt. I think Ultradyne has done a bang-up job with the Lithium.\n\nIf you are looking to get into PCC competition, then the Ultradyne Lithium should be on your shortlist of awesome products. If you want to add an edge to your home defense PCC or subgun, then ditto. It’s a rock-solid piece of gear that installs easily and performs admirably.",

"For the first time in its 108-year history, Aston Martin can boast a fully-fledged family of performance cars and SUVs.",
null,
"Even under the productive stewardship of industrialist David Brown through the post-war years and on into the 1970s, the Aston Martin Lagonda company’s famed DB-monikered sports cars tended to follow one another sequentially into existence, rather than form a side-by-side range of models.\n\nThat changed in the 1990s, however, when under Ford ownership greater emphasis on providing a choice for enthusiasts eventually saw the DB7, Vantage and Vanquish models presented as a trio of high-performance heroes to see in the new Millennium. Since that time, the brand has grown from strength to strength, cementing a line-up of purebred performance coupes and convertibles – and with the arrival of the DBX, a luxury SUV also – that inhibit different personalities as much as they do powertrains. The Aston Martin Lagonda of 2021 is very much a family affair.\n\nThe totem of Aston Martin’s ‘Second Century’ product plan, the athletic and dynamic DB11 still encapsulates the classic sporting GT in the finest Aston Martin tradition five years on from the V12’s debut. Heralding a new design era for Aston Martin, the DB11 became the latest landmark in the same lineage that gave the world icons such as the DB2/4, DB5 and game changing DB9.\n\nThe addition of the 375kW/675Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 the following year only served to underline the dynamic ability of this ultimate Grand Tourer yet cast it in a whole new light.\n\nThe DBS Superlegger marked the return of not one, but two illustrious names when it premiered in 2018. With DBS, Aston Martin revived an iconic nameplate that first appeared in 1967, while Touring’s famous mark – Superleggera (or “Super lightweight”) – once again adorned the bonnet of an Aston Martin.\n\nA collaboration that originally paved the way to the DB4, 5 and 6 Mark 1, the DBS Superleggera paid homage to the craftsmanship of the famous Italian coachbuilder for a whole new generation of enthusiast driver. The beautiful-looking DBS Superleggera replaced the Vanquish S: a tough act to follow in anyone’s books. But with its low-slung 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 delivering 533kW, 900Nm, a top speed of 339km/h and blistering acceleration of 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds, the DBS Superleggera still dishes out an unforgettable driving experience.\n\nIt remains the ultimate brute in a suit.\n\nWhile the letters ‘DB’ enjoy their own indelible significance for Aston Martin, the Vantage nameplate proudly sits on more than a third of all the sports cars ever made by the British brand. Spanning seven decades and covering some of the company’s most revered sports editions, the Vantage lineage forms a crucial part of the ever-evolving Aston Martin story.\n\nFrom the earliest days of the DB2 Vantage, through the iconic DB4, DB5 and DB6 of the 1960s, into the muscular models that made Aston Martin a world-beater in the succeeding decades, this historic name has become synonymous with pace, power, and taut, muscular style. At the heart of the Vantage is Aston Martin’s 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Set low and as far back in the chassis as possible for an optimal centre-of-gravity and perfect 50:50 weight distribution, this high-performance engine develops 375kW and 685Nm. With a dry weight of 1530kg this gives the Vantage formidable power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios. Never just for show, this performance legend remains all go.\n\nSynonymous with sound, detailed tuning of the induction, exhaust and engine management systems give the Vantage a truly intoxicating character and soundtrack.\n\nBoot space. Ground clearance. Rear legroom. Not that any Aston Martin can be accused of being ‘ordinary’, but the DBX certainly strays far from the blueprint when compared with other branches of the family tree. That is, until you drive it. The arrival of the DBX – Aston Martin’s first ever SUV – has proven a landmark moment in the brand’s illustrious history.\n\nhe culmination of an extensive development programme that began with virtual development work and physical testing in Wales (where it is being built in a purpose-designed manufacturing plant), the DBX’s remit is simple: to bring both the versatility and indulgence expected of a luxury SUV and pair this with sports car levels of dynamic performance. Utilising bonded aluminium, a construction method Aston Martin has refined through the development of its sports cars, the body structure is both very light and incredibly stiff. With its capacity to raise the ride height by\n45mm or lower it by 50mm the air suspension gives any driver the confidence to tackle a wide range of terrain. Powered by a new version of the characterful 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine found in DB11 and Vantage, the DBX even has an active exhaust system which ensures this luxury SUV can sound refined one moment, exhilarating the next.\n\nOh, and yes: the 632-litres of boot space and 40:20:40 split folding rear seat are extremely practical too.\n\nAston Martin Back on the grid\n\nAston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team has revealed its 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship contender and officially returned to the F1 paddock as a factory team for the first time in over 60 years. The new AMR21 F1 race car heralds the beginning of a significant chapter in the 108-year history of the brand and carries the hopes of racing fans around the globe ahead of its 2021 season debut in the Bahrain Grand Prix.\n\nDescribed by Aston Martin Executive Chairman, Lawrence Stroll, as an ‘important event in automotive history’, the new contender will be the first works Formula 1 car to carry the famous Aston wing logo since Maurice Trintignant’s DBR5 crossed the finish line at Silverstone in 1960.\n\nThe AMR21 will be raced in 2021 by four-time F1 World Champion, Sebastian Vettel and rising star Lance Stroll. The all-new car features signature Aston Martin Racing Green livery in recognition of Aston Martin’s traditional racing colours and sporting legacy. The return of the British marque to the top tier of motorsport also threw the spotlight on an energising shift within Aston Martin, as the team is set to become the global showcase for the brand’s engineering and performance capabilities.\n\nA new 200,000 square-foot facility will complement the existing Aston Martin F1 factory at Silverstone when completed in the second half of 2022, and the team says it is positioned to become an innovation lab to drive forward the brand’s future road car technologies.\n\nThese will include the suite of mid-engined sportscars, inspired by the Aston Martin Valkyrie, which will become central to the product portfolio through the next decade.\n\nThe speed, the sound, the colour. Take Aston Martin’s ultimate GT, the DBS Superleggera, subtract the roof, and hit the accelerator.\n\nIt is unquestionably the end of an era as we prepare for the next Aston Martin Vantage V12. Sadly, the final swansong for most potent, most sonorous of the Vantage variants."

"I recently wrote about the current slow death of the institution.\n\nIt’s increasingly obvious that the efficiencies we humans have gained in using institutions (to create scale, while minimizing transaction costs and increasing profits) no longer are relevant. The internet have changed this and institutions are obsolete.\n\nYes. As futurist and director of IFTF Marina Gorbis explains in this talk, there is no financial point in us having institutions any more, and therefore (as we live in a world where money decides) institutions will soon disappear.\n\n“You can think of organisations as a technology for creating scale and minimizing cost. This technology is being disrupted.”\n\nThey will likely be replaced with online networks, peer-to-peer solutions or other post-organisational structures.\n\nBut the centralized institution as we know it will soon be gone.\n\nIt’s like the typewriter. Once an important and ubiquitous technology… And now gone…\n\nFor years I was a believer in intrapreneurship: To use the principles of entrepreneurship to hack or disrupt large organisations from within, while maintaining the actual system, the organisation.\n\nToday I think of intrapreneurs as a bit like those guys who tried to re-invent the typewriter back in the day.\n\n“Hey, Look! We can add another colour to the pad so that you can type in both black and red now!”\n\n“Look! We have invented an electric typewriter. You don’t need to move the paper down with the scroller thingy, now you just plug the typewriter into the wall and press this button!”\n\nExactly like people who spend their time managing and trying to change or develop large rganisations today. They think that these organisations will always be around.\n\nOrganisations are a technology like any technology, and it is obsolete. The benefits are no longer there.\n\nSure, there are social and other benefits, but that’s not enough. If it doesn’t make financial sense it will go.\n\nDo you work to make organisations better? As a manager, organisational development expert, change management consultant, intrapreneur or similar?\n\nBe careful. You are likely holding evolution back. You are probably a barrier to progress.\n\nAs John Hagel recently pointed out in his excellent 21st Century Global Declaration of Independence:\n\n“We find ourselves now at a crossroads in history. The institutions – commercial, educational, political and civic – that we created in an earlier era in an effort to expand our potential have now become increasingly significant barriers to progress. It is not surprising that our trust in these institutions is plummeting around the world. We see so much opportunity and yet the institutions that are supposed to be helping us are increasingly standing in our way.”"

"ASH BARTY does not fear Angelique Kerber – but knows she will have to step it up against the 2018 Wimbledon champ in Thursday's semi-final.\n\nWorld No1 Barty made the last four by crushing fellow Aussie pal Ajla Tomljanovic – who had overcome Brit sensation Emma Raducanu – 6-1 6-3 in just over an hour.",
null,
null,
"Barty, 25, has both won twice and lost twice against Kerber, but this will be their first competitive meeting since they faced off in Wuhan three years ago.\n\nThe queen of Queensland said: “Angie has an incredible record here. She's made multiple finals. She's one of the best grass courters going around.\n\n“It's not scary or overwhelming, it's just exciting to have the challenge of playing someone who is comfortable on these courts, who knows how to win this tournament.”\n\nThree-time Slam winner Kerber has returned to top form on the grass after a poor year and was far too good for Czech Karolina Muchova, who she beat 6-2 6-3.\n\nThe German, 33, said: “The last few months it was really tough. I never stopped believing in myself, in my team.\n\n“I'm really looking forward to play against Ash. I know that I have to play my best tennis, and she will push me to that, to give everything out there.”\n\nWhile there was disappointment for one Czech Karolina, another was in dreamland after setting up a big-hitting semi-final with second seed Aryna Sabalenka.\n\nKarolina Pliskova, 29, has never won a Grand Slam and before this year had never been past the fourth round of Wimbledon.",

"The former world No1, who beat Swiss Viktorija Golubic 6-2 6-2, said: “After not really having many good weeks before Wimbledon, it feels like a dream.”\n\nSabalenka took out Tunisian Ons Jabeur 6-4 6-3 to reach the last four of a Slam for the first time.\n\nThe Belarusian, 23, said she felt no pressure, thanks in part to her work with a psychologist.\n\nShe explained: “I actually thought that I would never make it to the second week of a Grand Slam!\n\n\"We worked a lot with my psychologist and with my coach.\n\n“Today it surprised me but I didn't feel that pressure of being in the quarter-final for the first time. It was a great performance for me.”",

"Trombonist and composer Santo Joseph Pecora (1902-1984) recorded with the New Orleans Rhythm Kings in 1924-25, including versions of his songs “I Never Knew What a Gal Could Do” and “She’s Crying for Me Blues” (later reworked by Jelly Roll Morton into Georgia Swing). In the latter 1920s he worked with the orchestras of Buddy Rogers, Will Osborne, and Ben Pollack; in the 1930s Pecora performed and recorded with New Orleans trumpeters Sharkey Bonano and Wingy Manone. After becoming a studio musician for films in Hollywood in the 1940s, he returned to New Orleans later in the decade and performed regularly as a leader into the 1970s."

"Governor Evers signed an executive order today establishing the creation of a nonpartisan redistricting commission to draw legislative maps, taking the first steps on his vow to end partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin.\n\nLess than a week after revealing his plans to create the nonpartisan commission in his State of the State Address, Evers signed the executive order for the People’s Maps Commission, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.\n\nThe executive order will create an independent group to take up the task of redrawing Wisconsin’s legislative districts to be voted on by the legislature in 2021 after the census results are in, according to another article by WSJ.\n\nEvers, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul and other members of the Evers administration gathered in Evers’ Capitol office for the signing of the executive order. During the press conference, Barnes said gerrymandering is a common phenomenon across the country, stripping power away from minority groups and oppressing people’s power with their vote.",
null,
"“As elected officials, we have the responsibility to make sure opportunities exist in every part of Wisconsin and for every resident,” Barnes said during the press conference. “The Governor and I, we understand that this includes ensuring everyone in our state can choose our elected officials.”\n\nAfter the last redistricting battle between Democrats and Republicans went to the Supreme Court in 2011, the Evers administration hopes to place pressure on the Republican-controlled legislature to pass whatever maps are drawn up in the process of the nonpartisan commission, according to the AP.\n\nThe commission will enlist experts and strictly nonpartisan members to go to each congressional district to talk with locals and assess where impartial lines should be drawn, according to Executive Order #6.\n\nDuring the press conference, Kaul said this is not only to protect the sanctity of voting for Wisconsinites but also to save the state millions of dollars lost due to litigation costs from past redistricting cases.\n\n“Over time, both Democrats and Republicans have gerrymandered districts,” Kaul said at the press conference. “This is about putting an end to that practice in Wisconsin so that the power to select our legislators is where it belongs — in the hands of the people of Wisconsin.”\n\nDespite Evers’ and other Democrats’ calls for Republicans to join the efforts of the commission and work across the aisle on redistricting, Republicans have already dismissed the executive order for the commission, according to the AP.\n\nRepublican Speaker Robin Vos said he has no doubt they will continue to redistrict as always, using the Constitution as their guide, according to the AP.\n\nDuring the press conference, Evers said he believes the people of Wisconsin agree with the administration’s choice. Evers said 50 counties in Wisconsin, accounting for 78% of the counties, have already passed resolutions at the local level supporting efforts for nonpartisan redistricting.\n\n“When elected officials can rely on the safety of their seat over the quality of their work, again, there’s something wrong there,” Evers said at the press conference. “People should be able to choose their elected officials, not the other way around.”"

My mum is Jewish, so that was a little awkward.\n\n\"She would tell that story but she knew Hitler was a bad guy. There's no getting around that...

"States all across the country have filed suit against major pharmaceutical companies in an effort to recoup damages they claim are due to irresponsible marketing practices.\n\nWhile such trials are an impressive show of visibility for a crisis that went unnoticed for far too long, they do almost nothing to help alleviate the scourge of addiction that has already taken hold.\n\nIn the workers’ compensation arena, it raises the question of managed care and who should be held responsible for tapering programs and other interventions for opioid-dependent claimants.\n\nOhio and Oklahoma are the two primary states where the range of lawsuits against opioid manufacturers have been consolidated.\n\nAccording to the Pew Trusts, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Wisconsin also filed lawsuits against Purdue Pharma LP in May. That means that 46 states have pending cases against the maker of the blockbuster drug OxyContin.\n\nAn additional 1,600 cases brought by municipalities and other groups have been consolidated in a federal court in Cleveland, Ohio, where the influential trial is slated to begin in October.\n\nA study published in October 2018 by the JAMA Network utilizing a cohort of 9,596 injured workers found that 30 percent of workers who received an initial opioid prescription were still filling that prescription 90 days after the injury.\n\nIn Oklahoma, Johnson & Johnson is in the midst of a bench trial that began in late May and is predicted to run to mid-Summer.\n\nPurdue and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. were previously co-defendants in the case, but settled for $270 million and $85 million, respectively.\n\nAs information trickles out, it seems Johnson & Johnson is defending its marketing of the Duragesic patch and Nucynta painkiller in much the same way as other Big Pharma companies have in the press — by claiming that it cannot be held responsible for doctors that overprescribed the addictive drugs or for patients that become addicted.\n\nOklahoma is arguing that the drugs created a “public nuisance” that strained taxpayer resources used to address the crisis.\n\nWhile we know, as reported by NPR, that $200 million of Purdue’s settlement will be set aside for addiction treatment services, it is unclear at this juncture whether any other damages won by the states (if they win) will actually go toward the arduous work of reclaiming even footing in the sphere of public health.\n\nMeanwhile, entities on the edges of this picture, of which workers’ comp claims administration is one, are forced to reconsider their role in addiction treatment.\n\nIdeally, workers’ comp case management should focus on compassionate communication and carefully-crafted opioid tapering programs. Optum championed this idea in a webinar last year, which discussed tapering in terms of the benefit to the patient, not simply as a cost-cutting measure.\n\nA study published in October 2018 by the JAMA Network utilizing a cohort of 9,596 injured workers found that 30% of workers who received an initial opioid prescription were still filling that prescription 90 days after the injury.\n\nSince this proportion is higher than the general population and tends to follow certain characteristics, the researchers urge interventions to prevent persistent use among older workers, plus those with “preinjury income more than $60,000, crush injuries, strain or sprain injuries, and a concomitant diagnosis of chronic joint pain.”\n\nHowever, prevention, much like labeling Big Pharma a public nuisance, is no help to the currently addicted.\n\nWhat We Can Do\n\nOptum championed this idea in a webinar last year, which discussed tapering in terms of the benefit to the patient, not simply as a cost-cutting measure.\n\nThe speakers noted there is no one opioid tapering program that works for everyone and supportive medication and the continuation of any concurrent benzodiazepine prescriptions may be necessary to avoid withdrawal symptoms, reduce anxiety and increase compliance.\n\nWhile some guidelines exist to assist providers initiating a tapering program (such as ODG), there is a lack of knowledge on all sides, especially since reports indicate that 80 to 90% of physicians in the United States have absolutely no training or education in the use of controlled substances.\n\nThe unique challenge of persistent opioid use among workers’ comp claimants provides an opportunity to set the standard of care for tapering, given the range of medical and administrative professionals involved at every stage of a claim.\n\nRegardless of the outcomes in Oklahoma and Ohio, this is something we can start to make right without a headline-grabbing settlement. &",

"Minister of Justice Tracy-Anne McPhee has identified five policing priorities for –20 for the Yukon RCMP. These priorities focus on creating the foundation for effective policing, addressing violence against women, responding to serious and organized crime, and fostering meaningful relationships with First Nations, communities and youth. The First Nations policing policy provides First Nations policing services that are professional, effective and accountable to the community. This policy represents the federal government's commitment to working with First Nations. But in Manitoba only one of these agreements has been signed and that was with the Dakota Ojibway Tribal Council.\n\nToday we see tripartite agreements being squeezed and First Nations Police Services waning. We must acknowledge that this style is at variance with non-aboriginal policing styles but must be more clearly understood, supported and, yes, even emulated. In , the Canadian government implemented their “First Nations Policing Policy” in response to the growing indigenous resistance inspired by the Kanehsata:ke defenders during the Oka Crisis. $ million dollars in federal funding went into the program, which involved tripartite agreements between federal, provincial and Band Council.",

It was a complicated story. I bought a bit of uncomfortable, I’m not gonna lie. After which I believe the remainder of the ladies who knew this story about some automotive accident had been listening to new info from Erika this time round.”\n\nDorit, 45, added that she “knew” about Tom’s accident years in the past, however “this was the primary time that I used to be listening to the gravity of the accident.” Kyle, for her half, known as it “unusual” to study that the incident was “means worse” than the group initially thought.\n\nCelebrity Injuries Through the Years\n\nUs Weekly confirmed in December 2020 that Tom’s authorized workforce was questioning his well being amid a number of lawsuits towards him and his agency, Girardi & Keese.\n\n“His legal professional mentioned that she feels that he's not mentally effectively. That is one thing that I've mentioned, and nobody would hearken to me. And possibly lastly he can get the assistance he wants,” Erika mentioned in the course of the July 21 episode. “Tom’s sole identification is being an ideal lawyer. That’s all he ever needed to be in life and he put that forward of all the things, all the things. These previous couple of years, you realize, once I observed him declining, I believe he held on even tighter. I believe he was afraid; I believe that he was mad as a result of he was imply as f—ok.”\n\nAfter several months as his temporary conservator, a decide dominated in June that Tom’s brother, Robert, take over management of his particular person, property and funds following the previous lawyer’s dementia analysis. Tom objected at the time, telling the court docket he “disagree[d] with the conservatorship altogether.”",

"Italy’s economy minister struck a critical tone on cryptocurrencies Wednesday, remarking during an event that damage could arise should a market bubble “explode” even as central banks eye the technology.\n\nSpeaking during an event at the Polytechnic University of Milan that was organized by energy giant Enel (which itself has trialed blockchain for energy trading purposes), Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan joined the growing chorus of government officials who have decried the price developments around cryptocurrencies in recent months.\n\n“The oversight authorities are ever more active and the central banks are weighing whether to use cryptocurrencies but then, if the phenomenon explodes, they can do harm,” Padoan remarked, according to a report from Ansa Business.\n\nThe publication also quoted Padoan as saying that the issue isn’t strictly technological, but rather a consequence of how it’s used.\n\n“Blockchain is a technology and technology is one thing, and the use you make of it is another,” he told event attendees. “The problem is not the technology but the behavior”.\n\nSpeculation around cryptocurrencies has caught the attention of Italian regulators in the past, including its tax office, which in late 2016 moved to treat bitcoin as a kind of currency for tax purposes.\n\nMarket watchdogs have also targeted local promoters of the OneCoin investment scheme, which has been widely accused of being a Ponzi scheme, ultimately issuing a 2.59 million euro fine last August.",

"Please, tell us a bit about yourself.\n\nI live and work in Montpellier, in the south of France, where I was born. I have always wanted to create universes and characters, tell stories. I have always been attracted by science-fiction and fantasy worlds, robots and monsters.\n\nI am self-taught, a self-made man. I had to stop going to school and I started reading classical literature such as Virgil, Ovid, Gustave Flaubert and [Ernest] Hemingway. I grew up in a modest family. I never missed anything, but that is because all I needed were my comics when I was a child, cinema and VHS tapes when I was a teenager and time to work now. Free time to live my passion is a luxury.\n\nHow did you first become interested in steampunk and dieselpunk and what attracted you to the genres?\n\nYou might be surprised but the first time I heard about steampunk was not with regard to Jules Verne or [H.G.] Wells, but when I read the comic book Steampunk by Chris Bacchlo. I have always found this universe extremely interesting. What fascinated me the most was how this period merged almost molecularly with my working technique.\n\nYour more recent works seem darker and more distinctively dieselpunk. Do you find this aesthetic fits your own style better?\n\nYou know, I like big cities, pollution, oppressive atmospheres and everything connected with death. I like architecture and above all I like history. I let things happen. With all these elements combined you get dieselpunk.\n\nI have learned that art is not a restricted circle and that with new technologies and a bit of ideas, you can create interesting things.\n\nYou are right when you think dieselpunk fits my own style more. It is darker. Dieselpunk is the psychopathic son of steampunk.\n\nHow would you explain for the increasing appeal of steampunk?\n\nI do not believe steampunk took so long to become popular. It came just at the right time.\n\nThe century we live in is a peculiar one. A large part of teenagers sinks into depths of ignorance while, and this is the main paradox, they have an unrestricted access to absolute knowledge. It is in that respect that steampunk is a sheer product of our time and could not have been created at any other time. It represents the obsolete values of a bygone era, the Belle Époque, mixed with the technological aspect of our time. All this, we can clearly see, provides for projection, dream, fantasy using customs and codes from a romantic past while keeping a technological link with the present.\n\nOnly a misled century like ours could give birth to steampunk. As far as I know, this attempt to create a link, to recycle the past did not exist in the nineteenth century. There was no fictional rebirth or industrial royalty at the time of [Charles] Baudelaire or Verne. It could have happened, though, as imagination was flourishing back then.\n\nDo you think it will continue to grow and gather popularity?\n\nThat steampunk will gain popularity is obvious. For example, no main steampunk feature has been directed yet. You might object that Wild Wild West was one, but I would not say that such film, or even Otomo’s Steamboy, does justice to the genre such as Blade Runner once did with cyberpunk, for instance.\n\nAfter Blade Runner, no cyberpunk fiction could avoid the comparison with Ridley Scott’s masterpiece. After Wild Wild West, everything still needs to be done.\n\nAs regards Otomo’s Steamboy, its only merit, in my opinion, is that he took eight years to direct it, i.e., he anticipated the movement by almost a decade. This is common ground with Ridley Scott: being so early that he was totally out of sync with the expectations of his time.\n\nAlso with Steamboy, we cannot really say that he gave the best in him… three spinning gears are not enough to build a whole universe.\n\nTo me, Captain Sky was the only one to play his game well, but this is another story more on the dieselpunk side. Let’s see what the finished Iron Sky will do. For now, though, [the] film harvest is quite poor.\n\nWhat would you consider to be the greatest influences on your work? Are there any artists in particular that you seek to imitate or do you draw from films or novels?\n\nI also greatly admire architectural deliria by Anton First, François Schuiten and Etienne Robida, among others, many others…\n\nHave period writers like Victor Hugo, but also Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe, significantly shaped your view of steampunk and your work?\n\nNot at all. For me, literature is a virus that gets inoculated in people’s minds and quoted authors happen to belong to a time when there was no remedy against it.\n\nAre there any steampunk or dieselpunk artists or authors you admire in particular?\n\nI have read an excellent French book, La lune seule le sait (“Only the Moon Knows”) by Yoahan Eliot. The visual impact of this story was incredible! There were aliens, Jules Verne as a secret agent sent to the moon to rescue Louise Michel and Victor Hugo in a castle acting as the puppet master of the revolution against a robotic Napoleon the Third! Sheer genius! (By a strange irony of fate, I made the cover for the new edition of the same book some years later)\n\nAnd you have done other book covers too, correct?\n\nRight, for Gallimard and Press Pocket, two large French publishing companies, but this is not this type of work that will pay me a big house with a swimming pool.\n\nYour work has been on display at several exhibitions throughout the world. Could you tell us about this?\n\nYes, my work was shown in the United States, the Netherlands and France, but I would like to exhibit in England, Japan, Russia, everywhere people are interested. The only boundaries I have met are not territorial but mental."

"My project research has me considering image definition and standards. The act of looking and critiquing an image invariably includes its subject. The “male gaze” has already been described and defined quite adequately (check out Laura Mulvey’s pivotal writing,) so I won’t go into it here, but I discovered an interesting path that made me think about the collection of facts regarding standardized test images used for checking image quality in film, photo and digital software systems. People in media arts (film, video, publishing, gaming) know that it’s necessary to have color, luminance and resolution quality, and that a standard test image is often used to help calibrate image-making equipment settings.\n\nIn film, there was the invariable colour bars that everyone has seen, but there was also the “Indian Head Resolution Chart” and what we called in the film industry, the Girl Head. The Girl Head was a pretty young white woman in even lighting against a coloured bg with some prop, like plants) and a poster board of colour bars in the corner. This allowed the person doing the colour correction for film prints to have a standard set of caucasian skin and a range of colours to check their choices against. Film-goers would never see this Girl Head. It was trimmed off the reel once printing was completed. This film “Leader Ladies” (2006) brought great archival gathering of all kinds of Girl Head images from across the decades of filmmaking.",

"The use of women (this image standard is 99% exclusively women) as something to look at happened because white men were in charge of all of the technology. They made decisions about what they would prefer to look at, and not surprisingly, they chose pretty, young white women.",
null,
"The surprise is not a surprise. Some of these early Girl Heads occurred because the academic scientists had copies of the softporn magazine, Playboy, lying around in those academic research labs. Of note is that one of the most famous standard image Girl Heads is Lena Sorenberg, and that it came from her Playboy centrefold. This should give rise to our awareness that these male-centric academic centres of learning and exploration had porn magazines be a regular part of the environment and social downtime. In this instance it’s USC Signal and Image Processing Institute, and Asst. Professor, Alexander Sawchuk ripping out Lena’s image to wrap it around a drum for scanning. After all, the Playboy mag was there, and the images were good quality, and they were bored with the previously used images.\n\nAdding to this is that Lawrence Roberts, the “father of the internet” was one of the first to use fax scans of Playboy girls as part of his MIT thesis on digital image dithering (1962). He didn’t use nude girl images. Perhaps he chose the picture because it was a woman, the image was of decent quality, and it gave him an array of grey tones.\n\nNow the main note that I want to make is that these pictures were available in the Playboy magazine, which caters to men’s desire to gaze at naked women (not a problematic thing in itself), and these were evidently a popular item in academic science labs, including MIT’s and USC’s. Porn isn’t inherently bad. But the intentions of how we look at one another when in positions of power, and how it relates to our social, economic and political activities DOES take place. In this unfolding scene, it was well known that academic science labs were environments where there were few to no women, and this is because of a long history of sexism and barriers against women and people of colour. These barriers and the contextualizing of the environment leads to a much heavier weight of what this “Girl Head” means in its final decoding.\n\nWhen some of us point out what representation means in regards to a particular gender, race, ethnicity or any “type” of person, we are looking at the deeper insides of those histories that implicate how someone in power looks at another person that has less or no power. No adequate image ever arrives in the frame without someone’s informed gaze having placed it there. And that resultant image allows us to know what values were in place for that holder of the gaze. Porn magazines, image standards, and the (white) male gaze are a confluence of that power. And that’s why the Girl Head is also problematic. As slang, it turns a woman into a child, and reduces her power even further.\n\nThe Girl Head image is more than nostalgia, and more than just an image of a pretty woman."

"On November 4, a ballistic missile exploded above King Khalid Airport near Riyadh after being intercepted by Saudi Patriot missiles. The attack, launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen, led the Saudi government to blame Iran for supporting the rebels, escalating tensions across the Middle East.\n\nCuriously, however, many of Yemen’s ballistic missiles came from North Korea—a design that North Korea, in turn, had acquired from Egypt.\n\nThe campaign of ballistic missile attacks has been raging since 2015 when Saudi forces, backed up by a coalition of Gulf states, invaded Yemen on behalf of the deposed government of President Hadi. The Yemeni Army’s sizeable ballistic-missile forces sided with the Houthi rebels.\n\nWhile dozens of missiles aimed at Saudi Arabia proper have been intercepted by Patriot air-defense missiles, three missile strikes on Saudi coalition forces within Yemen or near its border, in 2015 and 2016, resulted in well over three hundred deaths and major losses in equipment.\n\nYemen’s ballistic-missile arsenal dates back to the long war between Saudi-backed North Yemen, and the Communist-aligned South Yemen—whose last president happened to be Ali Abdullah Saleh, an ally of the Houthi rebels. Ballistic missiles offered a way for the warring states to terrorize the civilian populations of their enemies without having to win the war by conventional military means.\n\nBut for precisely that reason—as well as their great complexity—long-range missiles are difficult to obtain from international sellers. Of course, states often find their own reasons for disregarding the risks of proliferating dangerous weapons; this is where our story takes us to Egypt and North Korea.\n\nFrom the 1950s to the early 1970s, the Soviet Union was a major supporter of Egypt and Syria in their recurring wars with Israel. These conflicts allowed Soviet leaders to test the effectiveness of their military technology against Tel Aviv’s Western hardware. Among the vast arsenals transferred to the Arab states, which included 240-millimeter super-heavy mortars, PT-76 amphibious tanks, BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles and MiG-21 jet fighters, the Soviets dispatched eighteen R-17 tactical ballistic missiles, known popularly as the Scud (their NATO codename), as well as nine mobile transporter-erector-launcher (TEL) units.\n\nThe Scud was first used in combat on October 22, 1973, literally in the final minutes of the Yom Kippur War, when Soviet technicians, disappointed to have missed their chance to employ the weapons, launched three missiles at Israeli positions on order from Moscow to test the weapons’ capabilities. The missiles’ two-thousand-pound warheads killed seven Israeli soldiers, and reportedly convinced Tel Aviv to avoid pursuing deeper strikes into Egypt. Though the Egyptians had not been consulted on the use of weapons that ostensibly belonged to them, President Sadat later took credit for the strike.\n\nNonetheless, the Yom Kippur War resulted in yet another Egyptian defeat, and Cairo eventually was persuaded to switch to Washington’s camp. This left Egypt with Scud missiles that the Soviet Union was unlikely to replace. Rather than giving up on its ballistic missiles, the Egyptian military shipped two of the R-17s off to North Korea, in an effort to replicate them.\n\nThe Soviets apparently had not been comfortable with the idea of handing over Scuds to North Korea. Though an ally, Pyongyang was prone to unpredictably escalating tensions with the West, much to Moscow’s annoyance. It was also known to play the Soviets against their Communist rivals in Beijing. Therefore, the missiles from Egypt were a technological breakthrough for North Korea.\n\nNorth Korean engineers spent the next five years building up the infrastructure for a missile program and reverse-engineering the R-17Es. This finally resulted in North Korea’s first ballistic missile, the Hwasong-5 (“Mars-5”) in 1984. A revised version entered production in 1985 with slightly greater range than the R-17, able to hit targets up to two hundred miles away—enough to reach most targets in South Korea. Nonetheless, the type was similar enough in performance to the R-17, that it received the same NATO codename, the Scud-B.\n\nThe Hwasong-5’s accuracy—measured by Circular Error Probability—was poor: each shot is predicted to land within 450 meters of the target only half the time. Highly inaccurate weapons are of limited value against military targets, but can still serve as terror weapons of strategic value. This is especially true if chemical, biological or nuclear warheads are available.\n\nA few years later, in 1989, North Korea developed the Hwasong-6, classed as a medium-range rather than tactical missile. The Hwasong-6 (or Scud-C) was even less accurate than the Hwasong-5, with a CEP of seven hundred to one thousand meters and a smaller 1,700-pound warhead. However, its 310-mile range finally gave Pyongyang the capability to hit targets in western Japan.\n\nBack to the Middle East\n\nNorth Korea built between six hundred and one thousand of these missiles, and shipped between one-third to one-half back to the Middle East. Recipients included Libya, Syria and Iran, the latter dubbing the missiles the Shahab (“Meteor”)-1 and -2; Hwasong-5s were used to bombard the MKO, a heavily armed Iranian rebel group. Syria and Iran also began manufacturing them domestically.\n\nPyongyang also paid back Cairo for their help by transferring technical data in the 1990s which Egypt used to develop its Project-T ballistic missiles. A separate Egyptian program to develop Condor missiles jointly with Iraq and Argentina had fallen through.\n\nBy this point, South Yemen had already received Scuds from the Soviet Union, and both North and South Yemen purchased the superior Tochka (SS-21 Scarab) and employed the weapons against each other. However, North and South Yemen reunified in the 1990s, and the new state aligned itself with the United States, so it was forced to look elsewhere to keep on growing its ballistic-missile force.\n\nIn 2002, the Spanish Navy boarded the North Korean cargo ship Sosan and found it was carrying fifteen Hwasong-5 missiles bound for Yemen. The shipment was eventually allowed to go through after protest from Sanaa, and it is estimated that Yemen received additional shipments of up to forty-five missiles, including Hwasong-6s. Therefore, the Hwasongs were very likely amongst the various Scud derivatives fired at Saudi and allied targets starting in 2015. The same report posits that longer-range strikes in Saudi territory were undertaken by Hwasong-6s; though unmodified, the missile does not have the range to have carried out attacks that took place on Riyadh or Mecca.\n\nHowever, the Hwasongs and the Scuds are far from the only ballistic missiles being used by the Houthis. Tochka missiles likely inflicted more damage than the Scuds due to their greater precision. The Houthis also converted another Soviet weapon, dated S-75 surface-to-air missiles (SA-2 Guideline), into a ballistic missile known as the Qaher-1 and -2 with claimed ranges of 155 and 250 miles, respectively. By one count, the Houthis had around one hundred Scuds, sixty Tochkas and nearly a thousand eligible SA-2 missiles available to them in 2015.\n\nMore recently, the rebels have been launching missiles they claim to be domestic clones of Scuds, called the Burqan-1 and -2. These are believed to be modified Scuds with extended range. An analysis by Jane’s concluded that though it is possible these are derived from North Korean or Iranian technology, they are most likely local modifications.\n\nFortunately for Saudi civilians, Patriot missile defenses over the kingdom have been mostly successful at intercepting longer-range missile attacks. Saudi-allied ground forces in Yemen have not been quite so lucky—for example, short-range missile attacks in 2017 killed Yemeni Maj. Gen. Ahmed Saif Al-Yafei in February, and another twenty-two Yemeni soldiers based in Kofal in March.\n\nHowever, one should bear in mind that deaths inflicted by ballistic missiles are dwarfed by the number of Yemeni civilians killed by Saudi air strikes using U.S.-built aircraft and smart bombs. Houthis missiles are indeed a threat to Saudi citizens, but they are killing fewer innocent lives in the region than F-15 Eagles and CBU-95 cluster bombs.\n\nAs for the North Korean missiles that spread all across the Middle East, hundred remain in service with the Korean People’s Army, though they have been superseded by more accurate and long-range types. The circumstances by which Soviet missiles given to Egypt became the foundation of the North Korean missile program—which is now capable of striking the United States—only for those same weapons to end up back in the Middle East is yet another example of how destructive technology can proliferate with unforeseen consequences."

"In this past week’s episode, we talked a bit about a few different manifestations of death. The delineations between them can be a little blurry sometimes, so here is a breakdown of some of DC’s death gods ranked from most to least powerful.\n\nDeath of the Endless",
null,
"A member of the Endless, Death came into existence shortly after the first beings came to life. She is the personification of death itself and ushers souls from life into the next stage of their existence – either to a particular afterlife or toward reincarnation. She is literally death given form, but will leave the job of reaping to other, lesser death gods if such beings have a claim to a soul; for example, if someone worships a different deity of death, Death of the Endless will leave that soul to that deity. But ultimately, the responsibility for all souls falls to Death.",
null,
"A different manifestation of death, Nekron is the gatekeeper to the afterlife. Trapped within the Land of the Unliving, Nekron rules over the buffer spiritual realm where all souls await judgment. Sentient but soulless himself, Nekron desires the death and destruction of all life. He is able to resurrect the dead and, via the Black Lantern rings, he can reanimate and control the corpses of the deceased.",
null,
"The Black Racer is the death god of the New Gods of New Genesis and Apokolips. Just a spirit of death, the Black Racer always requires a physical host, the two most famous of which are Willie Walker (a Vietnam veteran selected by the Source to become the Racer) and the Flash, who was bonded with the Black Racer during the Darkseid War. As the personification of death for the multiversal New Gods, the Black Racer is more powerful than other, lesser death gods from within the Orrery of Worlds.",
null,
"Avatar of the Black",
null,
"Unlike the Green or the Red, which are the collective consciousnesses of plant and animal life, respectively, the Black represents the collective consciousness of rot and decay, forces extremely closely associated with death. And just as Swamp Thing and Animal Man are avatars of the Green and the Red, the Black also selects an avatar to further the cause of rot and death, draining the life force from any living being. The most memorable and dangerous of these avatars was Anton Arcane, a necromancer and long-time foe of Swamp Thing. His niece, Abigail Arcane has also been the avatar.",
null,
"Originally created by Veronica Cale and the Science Squad, Azraeuz was one of the Four Horsemen of Apokolips and an avatar of death. He is demonic by nature, and is able to draw strength and energy from any and all death in his vicinity, can reanimate the dead, and is able on occasion to take physical form through the possession of someone else’s body.\n\nThere are, of course, many others who wield or commune with the force of death, and many others who embody or personify it as death gods, but hopefully this gives a bit of context as to the fractured nature of death’s personification in DC.\n\n@DoctorDCSep 23\n@organ_knight Both is the ideal. Have to wait to hear if Supergirl was cancelled or if there’s a different reason i… https://t.co/zeuSbDtE4K\n\n@DoctorDCSep 23\n@organ_knight Not even sure that Supergirl ending is connected to S&L. But let’s be honest, good or not, that wasn’… https://t.co/zW4AZumhBa\n\n@DoctorDCSep 23\nWow. Didn’t expect this. Not that I wanted an either or, but I’d take more Supergirl instead of Superman and Lois. https://t.co/QgEMU9uiJ9"

"Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to ensure the country makes the necessary changes to its anti-doping system ahead of an extended deadline of May 2 to avoid providing an \"excuse\" for them to be suspended from this year's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.\n\nKenya missed an initial deadline of April 5 to introduce a new Bill into Parliament, something that was not passed in time due partly to a Parliamentary recess.\n\nA fresh time limit was imposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following discussion on Kenya during an Independent Compliance Review Committee meeting in Montreal.\n\nIf improvements are not made by then, a recommendation of non-compliance will be made ahead of a WADA Foundation Board meeting on May 12.\n\n\"By next week latest, the Anti-Doping Bill will have been passed by Parliament and I will have signed it into law - so that there will be no excuse to deny our team from participation in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August,\" Kenyatta said in a statement.\n\n\"We know there are people who are looking for excuses to ensure that Kenya does not participate in the Olympics.\n\n\"We will not give them that excuse.\n\n\"We must win clean.\n\n\"As athletes, you are not only putting Kenya on the map and giving us pride - but you are also representing what is best about our country.\n\n\"This is something that we are very proud of.\"\n\nAround 40 Kenyans have tested positive for banned drugs since 2012, including three-times Boston Marathon winner Rita Jeptoo, who failed for erythropoietin in 2014.\n\nKenya - along with Ethiopia, Morocco, Ukraine and Belarus - are all to have their anti-doping programmes monitored by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) due to concerns, it was announced following a Council meeting of the world governing body in Monte Carlo last month.\n\nThe new Bill proposes fines and a one year jail term for athletes caught doping.\n\nA non-compliant ruling by WADA would not automatically mean the country is suspended from the Games, but a recommendation could be made for such a decision to be made by the IAAF.\n\nSome have looked on Kenya more sympathetically, claiming that, with the exception of Jeptoo, few top-level athletes have been implicated and, as Kenyatta alluded to, that the country is a pawn in a political game."

"MOTHERS AND OTHER STRANGERS by Gina Sorell\n\nLife is a bit crazy right now, as evidenced by my ONE post in February. (One!) My reading has slowed down considerably, but I did manage to finish two books after The Girls, and I want to post about them before too much time goes by.",
null,
"The first was The Private Life Of Mrs. Sharma, by Ratika Kapur. It’s about Renu, an Indian woman in her late 30s who lives with her son and in-laws in an apartment in Delhi. Her husband is working remotely in Dubai in order to make more money, while Renu works in a doctor’s office in Delhi to help support the family. She’s a modern woman by Indian standards – she works outside the home and has a fair amount of freedom – yet she is traditional in that she dotes on her son, lives with her husband’s parents, does most of the housekeeping, cleaning and nurturing, and has rather old-fashioned views about how marriage works.\n\nOne day, Renu meets a young man named Vineet on the train, and instead of telling him that she is married, she strikes up a friendship with him. They spend time together on a regular basis when her son is in school. It starts as a platonic friendship, an escape for Renu to fill her lonely hours. The book is written as Renu’s private inner dialogue, and she comes across as chaste and naive as she spends time with Vineet – but justifies it as something she deserves because her husband is away and her son needs her less. Of course, Renu is not as innocent as she portrays herself, and before long things have progressed into a dangerous zone, with their relationship turning physical and her ability to keep her two lives separate in jeopardy.\n\nThe Private Life Of Mrs. Sharma is about the collision of old and modern, as well as freedom and responsibility. Kapur’s language is strikingly simple – almost childlike – yet also formal and sort of indignant. (More contradictions!) I can’t settle on how I felt about it, or about Renu – despite her selflessness and devotion to her family, she was also immature and selfish, caring little about the desires of others.\n\nAnd there’s a surprise ending which seemed really out of place.\n\nSo this was a mixed bag for me. I liked that it was set in India, and it was an easy, engrossing read that effectively explored some of the tensions in modern middle class Indian society. But the protagonist was frustrating, the language almost claustrophobia-inducing at times, and the ending was jarring.\n\nHow’s that for non-committal?"

"Around 300 schoolboys have been kidnapped from the Government Science secondary school in north western Katsina state, Nigeria, by gunmen in an outrage reminiscent of an earlier kidnap of hundreds of schoolgirls from their school dormitory in Chibok, north-eastern Borno state, six years ago. Although there are questions about the direct involvement by the extremist group Boko Haram, a statement by its leader has claimed responsibility, citing, as with past kidnappings of this nature, the group’s misguided religious objections to “Western education”. In response, the multireligious Board of the International Dialogue Centre (KAICIID), issued the following statement:\n\n“The Board is shocked and saddened to learn of another mass kidnap of schoolchildren in Nigeria and extends its deep sympathies to the parents and loved ones of those taken.\n\n“We reject any attempt by the group or groups responsible to use religion to justify their heartless actions. Access to education is a fundamental human right, and any act that harms innocent children, or deprives them of their rights must be seen for what it is - inhuman, cruel and criminal”.\n\n“We call on people from all backgrounds, religious or otherwise, to work for reconciliation and mutual understanding in Nigeria. We call on religious leaders to practise dialogue in ways that prevent faith being used as an excuse for carrying out such cruel acts, and we call upon the authorities to work towards peace and security for all Nigerians.”\n\nBoard of Directors\nNigeria"

"Super Tekkyuu Fight! (\"Super Iron Ball Fight!\") is a maze action game featuring characters from the Compati Hero Series, which combines the worlds of Ultraman, SD Gundam, Kamen Rider and the original character Fighter Roar. Rather than relying on explosives, as is the case in the structurally similar Bomberman series, each character has a ball and chain which allows them to damage opponents and destroy blocks. They can acquire bonuses that increases the size of the ball, which causes it to do more damage, and the length of the chain, which increases its range. The game features a single-player mode where the player takes one of the four protagonists through a series of maze stages that can be attempted in any order, each of which concludes with a boss fight. It also features a multiplayer mode where up to four players can compete for supremacy across a number of stages. Many enemies in the single-player mode use other weapons, like guns, missiles and flamethrowers."

"Just in case the French team haven’t yet got the message that the whole nation is shocked and disappointed at their behaviour, their advertisers are pulling out. Bank Credit Agricole dropped adverts featuring the players after “looking at the situation” and hamburger chain Quick Restaurants has withdrawn ads starring Anelka. “After Saturday’s events, we spoke to Anelka’s agents and we all agreed it was best for both sides that we withdraw the campaign,” said a Quick spokeswoman. Whether these advertisers should’ve been allying their brands with a team that cheated its way to the World Cup finals in the first place is another matter, but it’s not very nice to kick a team when they’re down. Seems lack of sportsmanship is a French characteristic.\n\nThe deity doesn’t concern himself directly with football that often and, according to Diego Maradona, the one and only time he offered a helping hand was in Maradona’s own infamous “Hand of God” incident. Brazilian player Fabiano’s goal on Sunday night against the Ivory Coast is simply incomparable, with human error to blame. “Fabiano’s goal was not with the Hand of God as the Brazilian claimed,” Maradona said. “No, this one was with his arm.” Maradona might like to imagine he’s God’s favourite, but he would do well to remind himself of this verse in the Matthew’s gospel: “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye.” Why indeed?\n\nPortugal vs North Korea was the first soccer game ever broadcast live on North Korean television. Kim Jong Il won’t be making that mistake again in a hurry, as his team were thrashed 7-0 by the Portuguese. After an opening draw against the Ivory Coast, Portugal finally found their feet, with goals by Raul Meireles, Simao, Tiago, Hugo Almeida, Liedson and Cristiano Ronaldo. And then Tiago scored again, just to rub it in. The North Koreans disappointed after their plucky display against Brazil, but the lowest-ranked team in the World Cup has still done their country proud. We hope the Dear Leader agrees. And that Portugal has offered the Korean soccer players asylum, should they choose to defect.\n\nSwitzerland beat Italy’s record of 550 minutes in the World Cup without conceding a goal during their match against Chile, but they couldn’t hold out forever, with Paredes scoring in the 75th minute. It’s only Chile’s second goal of the tournament, but they’ve won two out of two matches, and are looking good. The game was yet another one marred by a refereeing error, as Khalil Al Ghamdi sent off Swiss striker Behrami after half-an-hour’s play in a questionable decision. Never mind the players, it’s the referees who need to take their game up a level if they’re going to impress in the second round.\n\nSpain were back on form on Monday night, beating Honduras 2-0 in a game that could’ve had a much higher margin of victory, but for some missed chances. Although Fernando Torres seemed out of sorts, David Villa scored two excellent goals to secure the win for his team. Group H is now looking interesting and, depending on the last set of matches, there is the possibility that three teams (Spain, Chile and Switzerland) will end on six points each, with the top two being decided on goal difference. Nice to see a group with none of its matches ending in a draw so far.\n\nAfter the first two sets of matches in the group stage, only Argentina, the Netherlands and Brazil are certain of a place in the second round, while Nigeria, Cameroon and North Korea are definitely going home. That leaves 26 teams still playing to keep their tournament dreams alive, although some have a much better chance of advancing than others. Those who don’t make it can go to French player Nicolas Anelka for counselling – he’s already had to deal with the fallout of leaving South Africa earlier than expected.\n\n@Seppthedog may presently have a mere 96 followers on Twitter (although that number’s sure to grow over the next few days), but he’s fast making friends and influencing people in the real world. Sepp’s anonymous owner responded to Kulula.com’s cheeky offer to fly Sepp Blatter anywhere in the country at no cost during “that thing that is happening right now”. The advert had not specified which Sepp Blatter it was referring to, and so Sepp the dog has claimed his flights. He’s already been to Joburg, and will fly to Durban some time during the next few weeks. It’s lucky for his canine namesake that the one thing Sepp the man can’t copyright is his name."

"A suspended white rope, a moon-like hoop, and a backdrop of twinkling lightbulbs provide a simple but entrancing setting for children’s circus company Hikapee’s Moonfall. This delightful production fuses acrobatics, playful humour and child-like wonder to explore what it would be like to live on the moon.\n\nMoonfall is a two-hander: Bryony Livesey plays an unnamed Princess who is instantly relatable due to her strong-willed and tomboyish nature. Alongside the Princess, Edd Casey convincingly transforms into an array of characters from a trumpet-wielding soldier, to her squabbling companion, and a pantomime dame-style matron.\n\nGiven that Moonfall is a non-verbal production, it is particularly impressive how well the pairs’ physicality slickly conveys their characters and the narrative so clearly. This was perhaps most evident when they were using the apparatus. As the Matron, for instance, Casey clambered up the rope with his legs splayed in a hyperbolically comical fashion, whereas when he was playing a young boy, he scampered up the rope in a much more playful and light-footed manner.\n\nMoonfall intertwines everyday activities, such as reluctantly having your hair brushed or being forced to wear a frilly dress, with impressive and awe-worthy circus vocabulary and acrobatics. There were many audible gasps and cheers from the captivated young audience, as the duo seamlessly tumbled from one trick into the next.",

"Finn Anderson’s score is beautifully hypnotic and provides an almost cinematic quality to the piece. It is the perfect soundtrack to accompany the highs and lows of this intergalactic adventure.\n\nAt present Moonfall is a work in progress, and what Hikapee have managed to put together in just three weeks is a very polished and majestic piece of theatre. At sixty minutes it did however feel a little long, and could do with tightening in some parts. For a work that is aimed at ages 4 + it is unsurprising that some of the young audience did start to get a little fidgety and restless towards the end.\n\nThat said, Moonfall is the perfect introduction to circus: it has some beautiful moments, a stunning score and plenty of fuel for your imagination. Plus, if you have ever wanted to live on the moon, Hipakee’s Moonfall will show you that even the most far flung dreams really can come true.\n\nRuby currently works for artsdepot as their Digital Marketing Officer.

"I understand\nHome•First of its kind pop...\n\nWith a third of UK car owners lacking access to off street parking, the availability of EV charging points is an issue that could stall the uptake of electric vehicles. One organisation in Cheltenham think they have the answer. Product Design company Duku and sister IP firm, Albright IP have now developed ‘a world’s first’ pop-up EV charge point in collaboration with Urban Electric, which is currently being trialled in a street in Oxford.",
null,
"Andrew Aylesbury, Director at Duku, said: “Without access to charging points the electric car revolution could by-pass millions of people, particularly in the inner cities. Ironically this demographic is also one of the most likely to use an electric car, with short commutes into local towns or to train stations. If you can solve this problem, then you open up a huge market opportunity to increase the uptake of EVs in every single town and city.”\n\nWith six prototype charge points now installed as part of the project’s pilot stage, Duku has already overcome many of the design challenges which come with a pop-up system.\n\n“The project came with a huge number of challenges, from reducing visual ‘street clutter’ to the shallow depth available below ground. Cities such as Oxford have a lot of historical architecture and utilities under the pavement.” Added Alex Lee, Director, Duku. “So, minimising the depth below the ground is one of the big challenges. At the same time, it needs to rise up to a certain level to make it accessible for everyone, so we worked hard to miniaturise its components while also creating a charge point that could rise up to 800mm above ground level”\n\nWith the IP secured and protected by sister company Albright IP, the prototypes have been developed using 3D CAD (Computer Aided Design), detailed mechanical design and a range of Rapid Prototyping techniques including 3D printing and CNC machining.\n\nOnce retracted into the ground, the charge points sit completely flush with the pavement, preventing any trip hazards, and are only visible by a ring of light which highlights their position and lets users know of their availability.\n\nRobert Games, Managing Director at Albright IP, concluded: “It’s certainly a complex system but overcoming challenges is something the team at Albright IP and Duku are used to. Getting them in the ground is a real milestone for the project and we’re excited to see how they operate.”\n\nThe trial will take place over the next six months and users will be able to book an electric car which has been made available for the period of the pilot.\n\nOnce complete, the pilot will allow Duku to verify the reliability of the prototypes and investigate how it fared against daily use, British weather and being installed on a typical UK street. Duku will then review the findings and incorporate improvements within the next development phase which will involve a larger scale roll out as well as introducing an app-based user interface.\n\nThe project has been made possible thanks to £474,000 of funding from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, and administered by Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency.\n\nThe project has been delivered in partnership with Duku, Urban Electric Networks Ltd and Oxford City Council, who have supported the pilot in response to their proposal to create the world’s first Zero Emissions Zone in 2020."

"Goodreads Description: For Penny Lee, high school was a total nonevent. Her friends were okay, her grades were fine, and while she somehow managed to land a boyfriend, he doesn’t actually know anything about her. When Penny heads to college in Austin, Texas, to learn how to become a writer, it’s seventy-nine miles and a zillion light years away from everything she can’t wait to leave behind.\n\nSam’s stuck. Literally, figuratively, emotionally, financially. He works at a café and sleeps there too, on a mattress on the floor of an empty storage room upstairs. He knows that this is the god-awful chapter of his life that will serve as inspiration for when he’s a famous movie director but right this second the seventeen bucks in his checking account and his dying laptop are really testing him.\n\nWhen Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.\n\nMy Review: I was given a review copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.\n\nHave you ever wondered what it would be like to go on a road trip with someone you really hated? Well good news, because reading Emergency Contact is a lot like being trapped in a small, uncomfortable space with a selfish, spiteful little shrew on an endless drive into hell. There's no pit stops, no rolling down the window, and you bet your bottom she's going to criticize your music choice. The author achieves this effect by introducing us to one awful character after another-- and I don't mean awful as in poorly written, as the characters were all consistent and well-rounded-- just that their personalities were complete trash. Most supporting characters, as well as the love interest, Sam, did have moments where they were compassionate, considerate, or selfless, but Penny continued to be awful right up until the last page.\n\nThe book starts off with Penny in the Apple store with her mom, picking out her new phone. Instead of it being a happy moment, Penny is crabby the entire time. She gets bullied by another girl there and decides to take out her anger on her mom later in the car, calling her stupid and getting upset for childish reasons (because mom was talking to someone else at the store? WTF much?). This left a hugely sour taste in my mouth which didn't go away, mostly because Penny continued to be an jerk to everyone around her -- she's rude to her roommates because she intereperates them as rude first (not sure how she came to that conclusion?), she discovers Sam collapsed on the street and decides she can't touch him because he might be a drug addict so she kicks him awake instead, she's incredibly superficial and seems to be mainly interested in how guys look first and personality second, and on and on. If there's a chance for Penny to be mean and spiteful, she takes it, even if it is just to silently judge people. I suppose the author intended for Penny's spiteful internal monologue to resonate with teens somehow-- after all, we've all felt like that crowd of popular girls was a little too fake or that old man smelled really awful-- but instead of using these judgemental moments sparingly, the entire book is one long judgement train, with Penny thinking she's somehow better than everyone else for thinking this way. It's exhausting and makes her seem more cruel than relatable. More so, the relationship between Penny and her mother made me sick to my stomach at times. Penny makes all sorts of claims about her mother-- that she's not responsible, is a 'MILF,' that she's stupid-- while Celeste is shown to be a perfectly normal mom who wants to be involved in her daughter's life. This makes it really hard for the reader to understand Penny's reasoning and agree with her, because the reader doesn't see Celeste behaving the way that Penny describes. So Penny comes off as completely unreasonable-- even a bit abusive sometimes. Even when Celeste ends up in the hospital after eating a pot brownie, the first indication that she's anything like Penny says, it feels like Penny's reactions to the event were unreasonable. Shit happens, but that doesn't mean Celeste is a bad person. I wanted to understand why Penny felt so negatively about her mother, but the reasons given were half-baked at best and glossed over. Because it wasn't clear why she's so mad, Penny just looks like the bad guy in every interaction. I understand the author was trying to illustrate the tumultuous relationship between a teen girl and her mother, but I wish it was handled in a way that didn't demonize teen girls.\n\nThe reason why having a book full of unlikeable and unsympathetic characters was so difficult was because this was a ROMANCE BOOK, and a CHARACTER DRIVEN ONE AT THAT. Meaning all the focus, tension, and reason for reading was on these characters. There were plot elements that came into play that were intended to shake up the romance and introduce more tension, yet they were so poorly executed it would have been better if they'd been left out. Penny has a boyfriend back home? Two seconds to talk about it and they're over it. Sam might be having a baby with someone else? Let's just Deus ex Machina that problem away. It got to the point that I ignored any potential conflict because I knew it would get swept away without any consequences or real effect on the story. Because of this, there were no real stakes, no sense of conflict or danger building. In romance, sometimes a lot of the fun comes from setting up these dramatic situations and seeing how your characters resolve them, and I was really disappointed to see these great set-ups with no follow through. The only interesting subplot had to do with Penny's story that she wrote about the \"anima.\" It was a great metaphor for their relationship and some of the themes of the book, but I wish it had been expended upon and filled out more. It also had the same anticlimactic feel that the other subplots did in that it kind of just... went away without ever going anywhere.\n\nBecause none of the conflicts led anywhere, the tension in this book was abysmal. There was a bit of romantic tension, but even that was pretty mild compared to other YA romance books. There was no dramatic tension, because the conflicts lacked a satisfying climax. There was no plot tension, because everything else going on was only there to reinforce the romance. Somehow, the author even found a way to make their scenes about writing boring. I'm a writer, and if I'm not enjoying reading about writing, then you as an author have failed spectacularly. A lot of the flaws that I can see come down to the fact that the author is an experienced writer, but obviously not experienced with novel formats. The lack of climactic moments, the unlikeable characters, even the lack of tension and decent pacing could come down the fact that this is Choi's first novel. The funniest part about my issues with the book is that Penny receives the same feedback from her writing professors WITHIN THE ACTUAL BOOK. It's said that Penny's characters were unlikeable, had no motivation, etc, which are complaints that I had about Choi's writing. This proves to me that Choi was aware of the problems with her book and either chose not to fix them or was unable to. The writing style is full of short, blunt sentences that gets straight to the action. There are no flowery sentences or description to be found, but unfortunately, it's hard to appreciate the fact that Choi can write when the rest of the book is in such rough shape.\n\nFinally, my last and probably strongest complaint with this book is the way it touched on diversity, and how it approached major subjects such as racism, rape, DACA, and deportation. The book feels cheap because the author touches on these issues without fully exploring them, their impact, and their consequences. There's a disclosure of rape in the book that came so out of left field that it left me with whiplash. At no point do we explore how the rape has affected her and her life, rather it's just used as a way for the love interests to get closer, which is f*cking infuriating and cheapens the whole thing. A lot of the other big topics brought up, like DACA, felt predatory, like the author was trying to \"name drop\" to make their book seem more \"diverse\" without actually exploring the issues mentioned. The way the author dropped these subjects in was very similar to how she dropped in slang: like it was thrown in there to be relevant, without bothering to explain the significance or have it make sense with the rest of the story. Granted, not every time we talk about DACA or rape does it have to be an \"issue book\" or documentary-level information, but these tidbits stuck out as they didn't fit with the rest of the story being told. It struck me as something an inexperienced writer would do, but what concerned me is that this was left in there by the editor and publishing house. If Simon and Schuster or the editor really cared about diversity, they would have respected the issues to give them the space they needed in the book, or knew to take out things that didn't have any relevance to the story. They're thrown in like buzzwords in an attempt to profit off a \"diversity trend\" instead of respecting that there are real people out there with those issues, who don't want their stories used as a gimmick to prop up an otherwise exhaustingly boring book.\n\nAll in all, this book is awful. The only thing that kept me from marking it as a one-star was the fact that the author had a good grasp of craft, and the book was written well, moved swiftly, and tried to touch on some real feelings of never being alone yet always feeling alone. But everything else in the book is such a chore to endure that I can't see myself recommending it to anyone. This book really proves that characters are everything, and if your reader can't find a single thing to like about them, it's likely true for the rest of your book, too."

"(The full length and slightly edited version can be found by subscribers at The Telegraph online here.)\n\nSince the beginning of the novel coronavirus pandemic I have written in these pages about the European countries in which I have suffered their various countermeasures.\n\nI witnessed Marines patrolling the streets in one of the hardest lockdowns in Europe, Spain, where I ran a half-marathon inside a small apartment in an attempt to stay sane and fit while they locked their physically vulnerable elderly and psychologically vulnerable children away from all sunlight and exercise, despite the measurable protection these two factors offer against the virus.\n\nI returned to England when I was allowed, and was invited to bear witness to the catastrophic collapse of the hospitality industry, with hotels and restaurants desperately trying to outweigh the off-putting countermeasures of the odour of bleach, enforced hand-sanitisation, masks, and social-distancing, by practically begging customers – and travel writers like myself – to visit.",
null,
"(Thank you to the lovely Gilbeys Restaurant & Townhouse in Eton, the splendid Old Parsonage Hotel & Grill in Oxford, the comforting The Winning Post pub in Windsor Great Park and the splendour of Mossiman’s at Guards Polo Club – I hope you all make it: you certainly deserve to.)\n\nSeeing the second lockdown coming like a sailor watching the wind moving across the water, and in search of an escape, I spoke to friends in Paris where I used to live but they had had it harder than Spain. And, while the Swedish experiment looked to me like an extraordinarily brave idea which may well work in the long run, I have neither friends nor family there with whom to enjoy the liberty.\n\nIn Austria, on the other hand, I had both, and there, after a short ,sharp lockdown, they had stalled infections by some mysterious alchemy (probably called “summer”) and were one of the most open countries in Europe. What’s more, where they did impose measures, it was done in a calm, non-judgmental manner, with healthy debate on both sides allowed.\n\n[Note: here my article, as published in The Telegraph, differs most noticeably from the below. This was a no doubt wise editorial choice, but here I go with my original, much more complex – and differently sourced – line of argument. The published version is available to Telegraph subscribers here – AFH.]\n\nOne of my first findings on my travels, was that it is very hard to actually gauge how the measures in these different countries feel unless you have lived under them, which, for obvious reasons, most people have not.\n\nThe best attempt at putting numerical values on each measure and then comparing them in a vaguely scientific manner is the Corona Government Response Tracker of the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University. However, even when limited to their estimation of the stringency of government response for the handful of countries mentioned above, the graph is hard to read.",

"However, if you unpick it, it goes from messy to odd: does anyone really believe France’s authoritarian reaction, where one had to print out certificates to open one’s front door, was even vaguely similar to that of Sweden’s, where life appeared unchanged? Yet observe how similar their graphs appear.",

"When you average them out the two countries practically merge.\n\nHowever, perhaps there is something to the work of these social scientists, as on the most concrete of data sets, deaths per capita from COVID-19 – and even that has problems – France and Sweden stand adjacent to one another, ranked 22nd and 23rd respectively. Meanwhile, the UK stands at 5th, Spain at 16th and Austria at 35th.\n\nWhich brings one to the question of the effectiveness of these countermeasures, and the ethics and politics – and legality which is what bridges those two fields – of imposing them.\n\nAlso, let us not forget efficacy.\n\nOne reason Austria feels like lockdown-lite is that they employ around one third of the police per capita that Spain does, and that’s even before they called in the Armed Forces.\n\nRecently leaked emails from within the Swedish government’s epidemiology department show that much of their decision to seek – or, as they might rather phrase it, “not seek to avoid” – herd immunity was as much as anything the combination of lack of constitutional authority, lack of enforcement capability, and lack of belief people would accept the measures, i.e. efficacy.\n\nUntil May 1st, the rest of this article can be found only at The Telegraph online here."

"It’s Fall in the North, But It’s Spring in the Southern Hemisphere! How the Ancient Australian Aborigines Tracked the Equinox",
null,
"UPDATE! This post was originally published on September 23, 2014. As we enjoy the turning of the season in the northern hemisphere and begin pulling out the fall decorations and prepping for cooler weather, it’s easy to forget that things are changing in the southern hemisphere, too. AN is here to remind you that spring has sprung in the south! Check out the post below and learn all about the ancient traditions surrounding this time of year. And click here to view some stunning photos of Australia during spring time.\n\nIt’s officially fall! Today is the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere, so it’s time to break out the cozy sweaters, aromatic firewood and pumpkin-flavored everything. However, in the southern hemisphere, today marks the first official day of spring. So while up here in the northern half of the globe we prepare for cooler temperatures, let’s remember our neighbors down south and discover how they’ve sprung into spring since ancient times.\n\nThe Aboriginal Australians have a remarkable pedigree according to Professor Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, who led the study isolating the first Aboriginal genome sequence study using a 100-year-old lock of hair from an indigenous man. Based on the results, the Aboriginal Australians are descendants of the first people to leave Africa up to 75,000 years ago, conferring upon them the likely honor of being the oldest continuous culture on the planet.[1] For thousands of years then, the Australian Aboriginal peoples have marked and celebrated the spring equinox as a time of rebirth and renewal. We know that the ancient Australians were keenly aware of astronomical movements. There are numerous stone arrangements built by many different ancient Aboriginal cultures and while the exact use for these arrangements is not known with certainty, it is believed that several may have been involved with charting the position of the stars.",
null,
"A portion of the stone arrangment at Wurdi Youang. Image credit: Ray Norris.\n\nOne site in particular seems to suggest the culture that built it was specifically aiming to chart the position of the sun for the purpose of recognizing solstices and equinoxes. Wurdi Youang is located near the town of Little River and is owned by the Wathaurang people. The site consists of about 100 basalt stones arranged in an egg-shaped ring that is approximately 50 meters in diameter along the major axis, which is aligned east-west.[2] Studies of the position of the stones and outliers have revealed that several of the “alignments are astronomical in nature” and “strongly suggest that the stone arrangement was deliberately intended by its builders to point to the setting Sun at the solstices and equinox.”[3] The site could be anywhere from 200 to 20,000 years old, but researchers point to the deep entrenchment of the stones to support a theory that it’s been there for thousands of years.[4] The major axis points towards the equinox and so it is possible that ancient Aboriginal people gathered at this spot for thousands of years anticipating the two times each year when the length of day equals night.\n\nWurdi Youang is the first real evidence that an Aboriginal culture used a stone arrangement as an astronomical guide, but there is abundant evidence of various Aboriginal cultures’ interest in the sun and the stars. Studies by Ray Norris, a British astrophysicist at Australia’s national science agency, of Aboriginal songs and stories indicate “a clear understanding of the movement of the sun, moon and stars.”[5] Some cultures in ancient Australia used the sky as a calendar, allowing them to anticipate the changing of seasons and when it was a good time to seek out a new food supply. Others used stories about constellations in the heavens as a way to explain traditions, such as why catching a particular fish was forbidden or how to communicate with deceased loved ones during the rising of Venus.[6] Many of these traditions have been passed down through generations and are still used in Australian Aboriginal cultures today.\n\nInterestingly, Australia’s ancient inhabitants were not unique is their fascination with cosmic displays. What is particularly intriguing is how the circle arrangement is found in thousands of ancient sites around the world. Stonehenge in England is one of the most famous monuments. Indeed, starting in 3300 BCE, more than 1,000 stone circles were built in England and Ireland alone. There are also stone circles at Fan Lau in Hong Kong; in the submerged Neolithic village of Atlit Yam off the coast of Atlit, Israel; at Odry in Poland (speciously appropriated by the Nazis to attest to ancient Germanic superiority); and at Junapani, India.[7] To these and other early settlers, the mysteries of the heavens were embodied in the ancient circle, its boundaries protecting those inside, its configuration symbolizing the life-giving sun, its edifices revealing the temporal movements of the earth.\n\nThe Emu in the Sky Aboriginal constellation.\n\nIt may seem a bit anti-climactic to celebrate the coming of warmer temperatures in an area such as Australia where the climate remains temperate or even tropical nearly year-round. However, this is not the case. Australians, modern and ancient, are and were aware that with the coming of the spring equinox comes a time of growth and new life. The anthropologist James Frazer wrote in his late 19th century study of mythology and religion, The Golden Bough,\n\nThe natives of central Australia regularly practice magical ceremonies for the purpose of awakening the dormant energies of nature at what might be called the approach of the Australian spring. Nowhere apparently are the alterations of seasons more striking than in the deserts of central Australia, where at the end of a long period of drought the sandy and stony wilderness, over which the silence and desolation of death appeared to brood is suddenly, after a few days of torrential rain, transformed into a landscape smiling with verdure and peopled with teeming multitudes of insects and lizards, of frogs and birds.[8]",
null,
"Sadly, today many ancient Aboriginal traditions have been lost along with their languages and culture. However, some remain and archaeologists continue to uncover evidence that sheds new light on these incredible peoples. The Aboriginal cultures that continue to thrive throughout Australia are extremely protective of their traditions and ways of life, rightly so, but their beliefs and practices have influenced modern Australia. There are groups dedicated to preserving, reviving and rediscovering Australian Aboriginal cultures. When we lose the heritage of even one group of people, we are losing an invaluable piece of our shared history.\n\nToday, as in the past, Australians will celebrate the advent of spring and with it, the coming of the rains and new life. As you pack up your swimsuits and pull out your boots, remember the other half of the globe is waking up to a new phase of rebirth!\n\n*For a great roundup of how other ancient civilizations celebrated the both the vernal and autumnal equinoxes visit our partner, Ancient Origins, and their article How Ancient People Marked the Equinox Around the World. Also read about Stonehenge and other ancient astronomy in our post The Summer Solstice: From Ancient Celebration to a Modern Day at the Beach.\n\nHere’s an example of the music by Aboriginal Australians that is being preserved today. The didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu) is a wind instrument created around 1,500 years ago in Northern Australia.\n\nAnd listen to the sound of the ancient didgeridoo with a very contemporary edge in this amazing rendition. DIDGE-ITAL DREAM-TIME is a series of videos that explore the sonic possibilities of digitally combining the didgeridoo with other instruments.",

"Emu, crocodile, eels and kangaroo! If you’re not from Australia you might think this is a list of animals to see at the zoo rather than an ingredient list. For thousands of years, the native Aborigines of Australia have used the foods provided by the land around them. In the past several years modern Australians have looked to this past and discovered a rich culinary history. One of these delicious native foods is the wattleseed from the acacia tree. Today we’re bringing you a unique and indulgent dessert called Chocolate and Wattleseed Self-Saucing Pudding. And don’t worry if you can’t find wattleseeds at your local grocery store. They can easily be ordered online. END_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED"

"(Natural News) What happens when one of the nation’s largest gun retailers insults and punishes that core customer demographic with a virtue-signaling policy that will do nothing to prevent the next school shooting?\n\nWould you expect that company’s sales to go up or down?\n\nIf you answered “down,” you have a great business sense.\n\nAfter Dick’s Sporting Goods made the decision to cave in to the one customer demographic that was the least likely to shop at the company’s stores, overall sales at the chain have dropped, and far more dramatically than company gurus had predicted.\n\nAs reported by The Daily Wire, CEO Edward Stack must have seen it coming because he told CNN last week that his decision to fully embrace the Marxist Left’s gun control movement will result in “people who don’t shop us anymore for anything.” Limiting gun sales beyond legal limits is “not going to be positive from a traffic standpoint and a sales standpoint.”\n\nHe was right; Fortune reported last week that the chain was experiencing “deeper than expected sales decline” of guns…and everything else:\n\nDick’s move last month at its three-dozen Field & Stream stores — extending a ban on assault-style rifles already in place at its namesake locations — came after a fatal shooting spree at a Florida high school. The company also raised the age limit to 21 from 18 on the purchase of any firearm. But the effect on its business remains to be seen.\n\nWell, it’s already being “seen.” As of that report, shares of the company had fallen by 7.3 percent to $30.19, the biggest single-day decline since last fall. Before the new gun policies were implemented, sales had climbed 13 percent since the first of the year.\n\nAnd yet, Stack is prepared to double down on the policies (Stock hint: If you have Dick’s Sporting Goods in your portfolio, maybe you need to talk to your broker).\n\n“As a gun owner, I support the Second Amendment and understand why, for many, the right to bear arms is as American as baseball and apple pie,” he wrote in the regularly anti-gun Washington Post, as The Daily Wire reported. “But I also agree with what Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in his majority opinion in 2008’s landmark Heller case: ‘Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.’ It is ‘not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.’\n\n“It is clear we have a problem with the gun laws in this country. They are not squarely focused on keeping all of us safe — especially our children,” he continued in a piece calling on Congress to “act” on guns. “There continue to be mass shootings — at our schools, churches and entertainment venues. Following each of these senseless, tragic events there’s a great deal of idle, fruitless talk in the halls of Congress, and then the conversation quickly comes to an end.”\n\nWhat problem do we have with gun laws? And I would argue that every one of them is “squarely focused” on improving public safety; otherwise, what was the purpose of passing them in the first place?\n\nI would argue we have a bigger problem with data entry when it comes to enforcing gun laws; if information isn’t provided to the FBI’s NICS system, as was the case in the Texas church shooting, then we can’t stop people from buying guns who shouldn’t have them.\n\nI would argue that we have a bigger political problem when it comes to guns, such as when an administration purposely purges a half-a-million fugitives from the NICS database.\n\nI would argue we have a problem with cultural rot, given that these kinds of shootings did not occur 30, 40, 50 years ago. (Related: Here’s the REAL reason we have mass shootings)\n\nBut a ‘gun law problem?’ Hardly.\n\nGood luck with your business, Mr. Stack. Looks like you’re going to need it."

"The Global Rainbow Foundation presents a draft of the disability bill\n\nOn Saturday 20 February 2021, the National Committee of Advocacy for Disability Act Mauritius met at the University of Mauritius for a workshop, at the initiative of the Global Rainbow Foundation. A symbolic march took place in the auditorium, with each beneficiary and committee member holding a sign highlighting the importance of a disability act in Mauritius.\nThis bill, entitled “The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill in Mauritius”, was presented to the audience by Prof. Armoogum Parsuramen. It was prepared and designed by a team of legal experts commissioned by the Global Rainbow Foundation, in accordance with the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which Mauritius is a signatory. The draft text is expected to be submitted to Parliament this year.\nOn the occasion of the workshop, the foundation of Prof. Armoogum Parsuramen received the support of many political and public personalities, such as Cassam Ueeem, Navin Ramgoolam, Bruno Laurette, Rama Valayden, Joanna Berenger, Osman Mohamed, Fabrice David, Reza Uteem, Buisson Leopold, Dr. Ameenah Sorefan, and the singer and UNESCO Artist for Peace Jane Constance.\nBeneficiaries of the GRF also came in large numbers to assert their rights and testify to the obstacles they face in their daily lives, as well as their journey.\n𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥\nThe Disability Bill was first mentioned in 2014 by the government in its election manifesto. However, there has been no significant progress in this area over the past six years.\nThe purpose of a Disability Bill is to promote, protect and ensure the dignity, equality before the law, human rights and freedoms of persons with any kind of disability.\nFor Global Rainbow Foundation, the fight continues until a disability law is added to the constitution.",

"It’s been alleged that the Islamic shooter at the Orlando massacre had been there several times before. He was likely scouting the place as a target. One of the things he would have noticed: the limited exits. The shooter is said to have entered at the main entrance where the green circle is (above). The blue arrows point to the exits. The heavy black blobs on the outer perimeter of the diagram are the entrances and exits.\n\nA shooter located at the bottom center blue arrow commands all exits and entrances. The top blue arrow points to the back exit.\n\nSome customers escaped this way, but that exit was then blocked by a fleeing patron. He feared the shooter would come out and shoot people who were blocked by exiting the alley by a fence.\n\nThe blue arrow on the right points to the patio exit. Some escaped out that exit. Those who fled to the bathrooms (left side of the diagram) were trapped, with no way out. Note the extremely short distances. The furthest distance that the shooter could see a patron would have been about 84 ft. Most would have been much closer.\n\nThis harrowing account has been given by someone who claimed to be the only survivor from one of the bathrooms. “Norman” related his account to a woman friend. From the nypost.com:\n\n“When he laughed, he took his gun and sprayed under the bathroom stall and on top of the bathroom stall, so then the bodies started collapsing and blood was going everywhere in the handicapped stall, 30 people squished in there getting shot,” Ventura said.\n\n“He was laughing like he was making fun of the victims.”\n\n“Then Norman had to climb over the bodies to try to climb on top,” she continued. “He said it was just horrific. While he was getting shot, he felt the shots coming into his skin, he felt the warmth of it and he thought he was going to die.”\n\nIf the account is correct, most of the deaths occurred in the bathrooms where people were reportedly held and had nowhere to run. Jamming people into a handicapped stall only made it worse. When you enter a venue, look for the exits and remember where they are. If you have to flee, go to an exit. Don’t get trapped in a dead end.\n\n◀Blue Force Gear Quote of the Day: Removing Rights from Suspected Terrorists Would Make America A Dangerous Place to Live\">Previous Post\nNext Post▶"

"Re-Animator [1985]\nI recently discovered this gem and it quickly became one of my favorite horror movies. Based on H.P Lovecraft’s book, the movie focuses on a mad university scientist who meets a fellow student and introduces him to a formula that brings fresh corpses back to life. The result? A genuinely scary movie from start to finish.",
null,
"The Evil Dead [1981]\nNot the remake, but The original 1981 movie with its ultra cheap budget and over the top special effects. The plot, about five friends who travel to a cabin in the mountains where they find evil spirits lurking around in the forest, isn’t original in any way.\nBut director Sam Raimi and his group of talented people have managed to create a terrifying atmosphere that is bound to satisfy any fan of the genre. Make no mistake: this is one of the best horror films ever made.",
null,
"It Follows [2014]\nAlmost two years later and I still recommend this movie on a weekly basis. And since it’s Halloween, this is the perfect opportunity to re-watch this underrated gem. Writer-director David Robert Mitchell has clearly been inspired by the likes of John Carpenter and Wes Craven. But Mitchell adds something extra special to his film.\nHere’s the setup: Jay is a young college student who has sex with her boyfriend for the first time. The next day she finds herself pursued by a shape-shifting creature, invisible to everyone but her. This “creature” can look like a friend, family member or even stranger, and it will follow you everywhere. And I do mean everywhere. Why? You’ll have to see for yourself. Let’s just say that this nerve-frying horror thriller from the gifted Mitchell (with an eerie score and haunting images from cinematographer Michael Gioulakis) will follow you home and into your nightmares.",
null,
"House of Wax [1953]\nForget the 2005 remake starring Paris Hilton (what the hell were they thinking?), the 1953 movie is the real deal. Master of horror Vincent Price plays a renowned wax sculptor who rebuilds his old fire destroyed showplace using…wait for it… human victims as wax figures! House Of Wax was an example of early 3D movies, and it was also the film that launched Vincent Price as a master of horror (and it’s easy to see why). If you’re a fan of that era and more particularly old horror flicks, then this is a must see for you; it’s incredibly creepy, and possibly one of the best of its genre.",
null,
"Under the Shadow [2016]\nThis Iranian movie from first time director Babak Anvari scared the shit out of me. It was screened at the Maskoun film festival in Beirut last month and I can’t wait to see it again. As they struggle to survive in war-torn Tehran of the 1980’s, a mother and daughter find their home inhabited by a mysterious entity that refuses to leave them alone. Props to Director Babak Anvari for creating something unique and genuinely frightening. His movie creeps at you and messes with your head. Find it. Watch it.",
null,
"Murder by Death [1976]\nI’ll end the list with a black comedy but also a perfect movie for Halloween. Spoofing some of the greatest detective films ever made, Murder by Death finds celebrated author Truman Capote inviting an all-star cast to his isolated mansion (don’t you just love those?) and informing them that one of the guests will be murdered at the stroke of midnight. With a cast that includes Peter Sellers, Peter Falk aka Colombo, David Niven, Maggie Smith and the great Alec Guiness, you know you’re in for a treat. I love this movie!"

"New Delhi: – The eighth round regarding the India-China border dispute has still not started. The former military officials are suggesting that India should not adopt a soft stand to resolve the dispute. With the temperatures dipping below minus 30-degree Celsius, there is no need for India to accept any of the Chinese terms. At the same time, reports are being received that the situation of the Chinese soldiers deployed in the region is becoming more and more difficult. This is dampening the spirits of the Chinese soldiers, and the military is forced to set up recreation centres for its soldiers.",

"China had conspired to increase the pressure on India with intrusion in the Ladakh sector. But this was planned to be an intrusion for a short period. But after the Indian Army interrupted, the Chinese Army made it a prestige issue. The Chinese soldiers launched a cowardly attack on the Indian soldiers, in which 20 Indian soldiers were martyred. But more than double Chinese soldiers were killed in the Indian retaliation. Thereafter, the agitated Indian Army jolted China with the takeover of the hills to the south of Pangong Tso lake. Therefore, it has become difficult for China to withdraw from the region.\n\nFormer officials of the Indian military were predicting that it will be difficult for the Chinese soldiers to sustain after the onset of winter. The prediction is proving to be true. The Indian soldiers have been discharging their duties of protecting the borders, routinely, even in the Ladakh winter. But Chinese soldiers do not have this experience. Therefore, Chinese soldiers are repeatedly reporting ill in this minus 20-degree Celsius temperature. Many of the Chinese soldiers even had to be admitted to the hospitals. Helicopter sorties are being carried out to ferry these sick soldiers. More importantly, the morale of these Chinese soldiers is dampening in this severe Ladakh weather. The Chinese Army has initiated efforts to bring up the confidence and enthusiasm in its soldiers. Recreations centres have been started for this purpose. There are hot water swimming pools, hot tubs, fitness centre, library and even computers in these recreation centres. Along with this, the Chinese soldiers are receiving tonnes of materials.\n\nBut this will not help, in any way, in lifting the morale of the Chinese soldiers. The temperatures in Ladakh will dip further with advancing winter. It is more likely that morale will sink further. Despite this, China has refused to withdraw from the LAC, making it a prestige issue. Even the international analysts are warning that China may have to pay a heavy price for this. China misjudged the Indian capabilities and reactions and attempted intrusion on the LAC in Ladakh. All the decisions taken after that have boomeranged on China. Analysts are warning that China will have to pay a dearer price for this in the times to come. Whereas, on the other hand, India need not hurry to resolve the border dispute. Former Indian military officials have given their verdict that the Indian soldiers will sustain the Ladakh cold for any period."

"Actually, it was stuffed eggplant, and I forgot to take a picture of it because I was too distracted by the menu it came from. The Town Line Diner just changed its sauteed items page, and while their entire menu has good examples of broken English, this page has a wealth of them. In addition to the \"stafed egplant\", it has \"Mediterraneam\", lobster \"ravioly\" that appears to be made from crab instead of lobster, and \"pooched salmon\". The stuffed eggplant wasn't that bad, sort of like a Italian sausage lasgna made with eggplant instead of pasta.",

"ABOUT BOOKS AND MUSIC\n\nThe irony was not altogether lost on me. Though irony – possibly – was not the right word. Perhaps it was just another example of the way in which life can sometimes double-back, can turn suddenly and reflect itself every once in a while. A variation of déjà vu. An echo.\n\nI sit in a darkened film editing suite. The room is thick with smoke. I am watching a rough cut of a film by Olivier Dahan, Oscar-winning director of ‘La Vie En Rose’. On the sound system is a previously unheard soundtrack written by Bob Dylan. It is my first trip to Paris, and there I am – somewhere in an office within the shadow of the Eiffel Tower – discussing the possibility of writing a screenplay of my book, ‘A Quiet Belief In Angels’ (‘Seul le Silence’). What happened as a result of that meeting, the three days I spent in Paris, the screenplay, the potential film…all of this is irrelevant to the story. What was really interesting to me about that first meeting was Robert Johnson. Forrest Whittaker as Robert Johnson, right there on the screen ahead of me. The whole backstory of Johnson – how he met Lucifer at the crossroads and sold his soul for the Blues. That story.\n\nBackwards more than thirty years. A seven year-old child stands in the hallway of a strange house. His mother has just died, and he has been sent to stay with a relative. The relative, a great aunt – has a son. The son is a teenager, a wild guy, a rocker, and he has a room painted black with posters all over the walls – Hendrix, Joplin, Canned Heat, Jim Morrison and The Doors. He spends his time playing records, smoking cigarettes, drinking beer.\n\nThe seven year-old – lost, confused, alone now – finds some strange comfort in the company of this wild teenager. The teenager tells him a story and plays him a record. ‘Robert Johnson,’ the little boy is told. ‘He went down to the crossroads and sold his soul to the Devil for the Blues…’ And the little boy listens, and he hears something in the music that stirs something inside of him, and he knows that no other music will ever sound the same. Perhaps more accurately, he will never be able to listen to any other style of popular music and not hear the Blues somewhere hiding within it.\n\nBecause the Blues sits behind everything. It is a rhythm, an atmosphere, a heartbeat, a pulse, a colour, a feeling. It isn’t just a sound. You hear sounds with your ears. This wasn’t just something you heard, it was something you could feel in your heart.\n\nThe fact that the seven year-old boy went on to write novels is also not part of that story. Not directly. The fact that the boy became a writer who was always trying to capture that feeling, that emotion, that sound with words, is perhaps more to the point. Because they’re the same thing. It’s the emotional connection. The emotional impact.\n\nI was that boy, and now I am that writer. And I read to feel something. I listen to Son House and Leadbelly and Muddy Waters and Charley Patton to feel something too. The emotion comes first, the rhythm comes second, the dancing comes last. Music is an outburst of the soul, Delius said.\n\nMy interest was sparked, like the small flame at the tail of the touchpaper, and at the end of that touchpaper was dynamite. I moved on from there, found so many different stories that had all been woven from the same original strands. It was an evolution, a progression – up through British rhythm and blues to The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Stones, and then the sound of the West Coast – The Elevators and Quicksilver, and West Texas variations like Doug Sahm, and out of the swamps came Dr. John and Professor Longhair, ‘Gris Gris Gumbo Ya-Ya’ and its strange, distorted reflection of the same things that the delta Bluesmen were saying.\n\nMy girl gone left me. She left me alone. You don’t know how it feels to have no home. Got no money in my pocket, no shoes on my feet. Got no food in my belly and my bed’s in the street.\n\nMusic was the support, the way in which we survived our difficulties, our travails, our losses. As Virgil Thomson said, ‘I’ve never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music is not going to let you down.’\n\nAnd even the whites had their own thing going. They suffered the Depression, they suffered hardships, of course, and they sang and played their way through it. European immigrants into the Maritime Provinces and the Southern Appalachian Mountains brought Old World instruments with them – the fiddle from Ireland, the banjo from West Africa, the guitar from Spain, the mandolin from Italy. ‘Little Log Cabin in the Lane’, recorded by Fiddlin’ John Carson in the early 20s, Vernon Dalhart’s national hit, ‘Wreck of the Old ‘97’, the flipside of which was something called – not surprisingly – ‘Lonesome Road Blues’, and artists like this were followed by the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers who managed to fuse hillbilly country with gospel, jazz, blues and folk music.\n\nAnd without Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family the ‘The Golden Age of Country’ would never have happened. No-one would have heard of the Grand Ole Opry; Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jnr., Townes Van Zandt and Willie Nelson would have just been playing for drinks in some out-of-town juke joint or bowling alley. And on the West Coast, had it not been for Bob Wills and Lefty Frizzell, we would never have discovered The Bakersfield Sound, and Merle Haggard and Buck Owens would have been packing groceries or fixing cars in a truckstop outside of Mendocino.\n\nAnd then the brash parents took a roadtrip, travelled further afield, and as they travelled they produced further offspring – artists like Gram Parsons, Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead, Neil Young, The Allman Brothers, Buffalo Springfield and The Eagles. Country Rock was born. Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Freebird’ and ‘Sweet Home Alabama’, Canned Heat’s ‘On The Road Again’ – released in 1968, adapted by Alan Wilson from a song of the same name, recorded by Floyd Jones in 1953. And Jones’ song, well that was an adaptation of a song called ‘Big Road Blues’, recorded in 1928 by Delta Bluesman, Tommy Johnson. Did they know at Woodstock that they were listening to a song that was twice as old as most of the people there? Maybe not, but it didn’t matter. It said the same thing a different way. It conveyed the same emotions, the same heart, and you either got it or you didn’t.\n\nThese were no accidents, no coincidences. Serendipity perhaps, but not coincidence. The emotion was always there, always present, always pre-eminent. The emotion was what it was all about. And it carried through every thread, and it walked down every road, and it passed from hand to hand, from heart to heart, from soul to soul. It was a communication. It was a message. And those that heard it, really heard it, well they understood that it was not something that could be measured or quantified or given a value. It was priceless. The music was priceless. It was a universal language, applicable to all, understandable by all, and as it evolved it encompassed more and more people, more and more variations on the same theme, and even those that didn’t know exactly what they were listening to still felt the rhythm inside of themselves and got up to dance.\n\nAnd the seven year-old kid? He grew up. He grew up with music everywhere, and if there wasn’t music when he got wherever he was going, well he soon got some organised. He even played music himself on and off, back and forth over the years – and nearly four decades later he’s still hammering away at the same chords, and singing some of the same tunes, and putting a band back on the road when all sense and sensibility says that such a thing should not be considered by an unfit man in his mid-forties. But to hell with the rules and regulations, to hell with the conservative, the expected, the norm. This is about life. This is about being whoever you are. This is about feeling something inside of yourself that you cannot exorcise without making a noise. ‘The Renegades’ will appear somewhere, sometime, and they will play riffs invented by Bo Diddley and Paul Burlison and Mike Bloomfield and Scotty Moore. Why? Because they are timeless. People might age, but the emotion stays young for ever.\n\nAnd now – even when I write my fiction – I am looking for the same rhythm, that same pace, the same tensions that I find in music. I am working on the sentences and paragraphs like they’re bars of music. I am losing a word here and there because the phrase has one too many syllables and it doesn’t feel right. I know when it sounds right to my ear. I know when it looks right to my eye. It has a tempo, a timbre, an atmosphere, a colour. And when I write lyrics my musical heritage is all the more evident. The girl is still leaving. I still ain’t got no money. The train’s pulling out of the station. I am sleeping in the street. This is what we do. This is what we have to say. This is what we sing about. Matters of the heart. Matters of the soul. The business of life.\n\nMusic has always been there, always something to look forward to, always there to return to. It is both a destination and a home; it is both a familiar friend and a new acquaintance; it is both a parent and a child. I look back at my life, and all the important events, all the things that mattered – marriage, fatherhood, new jobs, new places and people…well, all of them were somehow connected to music. I can say in music what I will never be able to write. I can write in words what I will never be able to communicate with music. It has been said that a composer composes because he cannot say what he wants in words. I believe the corollary also, that a writer writes because he cannot yet communicate his thoughts and feelings with sounds.\n\nAnd I leave the last words to a writer, fittingly. Not just a writer, but a writer for children who yet spoke to all generations. Hans Christian Andersen said something so simple, and yet it encompassed all complexities, all truths, all fundamentals: ‘When words fail, music speaks.’\n\nFor me, in just five words, I think that says it all.",

"Patrick Watson - ‘Step Out For A While’ (Domino)\n\nOne day I am going to get round to making a playlist of all my favourite, waltzy, merry-go-round songs – singles that go up, up, up, with the peculiar grace of gold-leafed, static, horses' manes; and down, down, down, like drunks, swaying for a gutter-bed. ‘Step Out For A While’ would definitely be on there. One, because it was only on for about three seconds before I started to get goosebumps. And two, because Patrick Watson has one of those rare voices that is constantly wobbling and threatening to collapse, without it ever sounding like he's over-emoting. He is not a narcissistic performer. Ruddy wonderful.\n\nTender Trap have written an album called ‘Ten Songs About Girls’ of which ‘Step One’ is a part. And it is the pop song-as-manifesto, a list of all the stuff you should do, should you want to be in a knock-kneed, hair-slided, all-girl indie band from twenty years ago. With tongue in cheek, they suggest, among other things, getting a pink guitar - a notion so wildly non-U and Barbie Aisle they can only be joshing. But they deserve at least an extra five points for including the word ‘eschew’ in a single - as in the command ‘eschew a manager’ - which they suggest girls do. Don’t get me wrong, the song’s a bit annoying and it’s yelpy and guileless and happier than anyone has any right to be. But it’s a curious bit of musical happenstance that it has cropped up in time for Pussy Riot’s incarceration. And it has got its heart in the right place.\n\nWhen I was fourteen and an evangelical Christian who thought Jesus was well cool, I used to open up the Bible with my eyes shut and an index finger stabbing, in order to see if God would speak to me. Everyone was always banging on about ‘signs’ and how He had let them know His will; but it was almost as if I were just that little bit too trifling for God, because he and I were never on speakers. He was always with the ‘And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue’ [what?] and the ‘Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron’ [where?]. Now, of course, I listen to music when I am trying to unlock some wisdom for the ages, and it is what I turn to and self-medicate with, every day. Of course, I’m not promising some sort of epiphany if you listen to ‘Hardcourage’ - because the only lyric, in the whole fing, is the word ‘now’. But it is the sort of propulsive, ratcheting, ravey atmospheric nonsense I like. And sometimes, very occasionally, one word advice is the best kind.\n\n‘I’m gonna leave and never sleep with you again,’ sings Her out of Keel Her, who is doing an excellent job of releasing a song pretty much every two minutes and making each one sound as distorted and ruined as it is possible for songs to be. Full of angst and bother, ‘Prize Catch’ is so decidedly throwaway it might as well be written on bog roll - but in a sick sort of way, I rather like it when things this loose, ill-formed and short, get printed, forever, on everlasting vinyl.\n\nI wasn’t desperately fond of 'LO HI', but this is livelier. At least, it’s livelier for them, given that Peaking Lights are not the kind of band you could ever call urgent - you would no sooner ask them to manage your house move / make Christmas dinner for your family / plan a wedding than you would ask John McCririck to kiss your flower. So. 'Beautiful Son' is still intensely wafty, and it's psychedelic in the cosiest of ways. But at least this time they have a spring in their step, as well as some delicate piano lines and glistening guitar solos to light the path.\n\nI love NAO but I would be the first to admit they are a binge band; one whose albums I gorge on till there is no fun left; they are all too instant. But it also confirms what I know about people who like instant music - that we are the worst kind of lab rats, pushing the lever to dispense the root beer until there is only quinine to bitter up our faceholes. By all of which I (sadly) mean, 'Savage With Barometer' does not stand up to infinite plays.\n\nBrilliantly rubbish, and the video is just delicious, the funniest thing I saw in ages. Also: WHY DOES BEING SHOT IN THE STOMACH MAKE ED SHEERAN EAT POLOS?\n\nWendy is on the internet, here. You should know, there is also a MUSE single out today but it’s not on the radio until ‘later’. This isn’t it."

"When the NZRL Taurahere camp assembles on Queensland’s Gold Coast next week, the two 18s squads will deliberately not bear the names of their Australian home states.\n\nInstead, New South Wales-based players will form the “Tu” squad, drawn from the Maori word meaning “stand up”, and Queensland-based players make up the “Toa” group, referring to “strength”.\n“One of the real drivers for this programme is to reconnect our Australian-based players with their NZ heritage,” explains NZRL high performance general manager Brent Gemmell.\n\n“Although they are largely drawn from these two Australian states, for the obvious reasons, we don’t want them thinking of this as some inter-state rivalry.\n\nTu (NSW) are so named because they were the first team to “stand up” as part of the Taurahere programme, facing NZ 18s in a two-game series two years ago.\n\nToa (Queensland) will add “strength” to the programme, when they come together for the first time at Runaway Bay on July 3.\n\nThe camp will culminate in a trial game on the final day, with a merit team named the following week.\n\nDespite the team names, this programme is not a Maori-motivated campaign. Players and staff will be immersed in the “te iwi kiwi” culture, which embraces all the walks of life that make up the New Zealand rugby league community.\n\nMany of the invited players, particularly in the Tu squad, have come through the NZ domestic pathway and are now contracted with NRL clubs or attend schools across the Tasman. For them, this will be a way to stay engaged with the national team programme, until they are selected for Junior Kiwis and Kiwis.\nOthers, though, have been born in Australia or have moved there while still young. These players are also eligible for State of Origin and Australian national teams, and must eventually choose which nationality to honour.\n\nRecent Kiwis Kieran Foran, Gerard Beale and Jason Taumalolo, along with former captains Benji Marshall and Nathan Cayless, have all represented Australian Schoolboys, before opting to wear the black jersey.\n\n“These are the kinds of players that we need to engage before they make those career decisions,” says Gemmell. “The more we can strengthen their NZ roots, the better chance we have of retaining them in the Kiwis programme.”\n\nPerhaps the success story of the young Taurahere programme so far is Northland-raised forward James Fisher-Harris (20), one of that inaugural 2014 NSW outfit, but now a Junior Kiwi, Penrith Panthers first-grader and outside contender for the Kiwis’ Four Nations title defence later this year.\n\nAmong the players invited to Runaway Bay are some of the outstanding performers of NZ domestic competition last season:\n\n“This programme is really just picking up momentum,” says Gemmell. “The next step would be to give these Australian-based players an opportunity to face the NZ Residents and then select a full Kiwis 18s to take on Australian Schoolboys in coming years.”\n\nSquads for the NZRL Taurahere Camp, Runaway Bay, July 3-6 are:"

"BOSTON (AP) — Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz had a chance to thank his adoring fans at Fenway Park exactly three months after he was shot in the back while in his native Dominican Republic.\n\nIn his first public appearance since June 9, when he was seriously injured in a Santo Domingo nightclub, Ortiz threw out the first pitch before the Red Sox played the New York Yankees.\n\nOrtiz took a microphone on the pitcher’s mound and thanked the fans for their prayers and support after he threw the pitch to Jason Varitek, a catcher and teammate on Boston’s 2004 and ’07 championship clubs.",

"David Ortiz addresses the crowd before the game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees at Fenway Park on September 09, 2019 (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)\n\nWearing a white No. 34 home jersey with black slacks, he entered the field to a rousing ovation. When the game started, he took a seat in the first row, right next to Boston’s dugout, giving his jersey to a young boy seated a few rows back in the first inning.\n\nThe 43-year-old Ortiz, the 2013 World Series MVP on Boston’s championship team, was shot in the back by a hired gunman who drove up on a motorcycle and fired at close range, hitting him in the torso, police said. They said the intended target was another man.\n\nDoctors in Santo Domingo removed Ortiz’s gallbladder and part of his intestine, and he was flown the next day on a Red Sox plane to Boston, where he had more surgery.\n\nA 10-time All-Star, Ortiz helped the Red Sox end their 86-year championship drought in 2004 and batted .688 against the St. Louis Cardinals in ’13 to win the Series MVP.\n\nBut it was his jovial manner and ready smile that further endeared him to the city. Before the first Red Sox home game after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, he took the same mound with a microphone and told the crowd, “This is our (expletive) city, and no one’s going to dictate our freedom.”\n\nHe retired after the 2016 season with 541 home runs, and the team quickly retired his uniform No. 34. The city named a street and bridge outside the ballpark after him."

"When we watch a movie or TV program, we see people playing a role. If they are good at their craft we tend to forget that they are acting. I enjoyed the long-running series, West Wing. Martin Sheen is forever identified in my mind as President Jed Bartlett. He slipped into that role and made it his. But, in fact, he was creating an illusion, to draw us into a story. It is play-acting and so when the show is over we all go back to the real world.\n\nIs your practice of Christianity worthy of an Oscar, a great performance, but only that?Are you trying hard to act like a Christian, but failing to actually be one?\n\nWe are invited to be ‘born again,’ to enter the Kingdom of God by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. When we come to God, in faith, receiving His grace, the Word says that the ‘old is gone, the new is come.’ Some of us, allow ourselves to slip into playing a role. Jesus warns about that. “Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1, NIV)\n\nIf we are focused on gaining people’s approval, we may do good things, even have a positive effect in the wider world, but there will be no heavenly reward. Jesus illustrates the importance of authenticity speaking to our prayers. They are not to be addressed to those who hear us praying. When we pray, we are talking to God, the Father. He says if we make a great speech in the name of prayer, when we’re done and people admire our fine words, we have the reward we wanted. Likewise, He says when we give our offerings that we should not announce our generosity, letting God’s blessings be our true reward!\n\nThe best prayers are prayed without regard to the notice or approval of others. Indeed, Jesus tells us that praying is done best ‘in secret.’ That way we are not tempted to become actors. That is not to say there isn’t a place to pray together, to share in times of prayer. There certainly is and we can know real power in the prayer of those who gather in His Name! But, our soul work, the wrestling with our sins, our deepest worship, will be done when we are alone with God. When there is no one to impress, we are ‘honest to God’ and our prayers have integrity. To be sure, those who refuse puffed prayers may not gain the same kind of approval that those who wear masks enjoy for a time.\n\nIt’s relatively easy to play the role of a devoted follower of Christ for a couple of hours on Sunday morning compared to walking in faith each day of the week. Real Christians don’t hide their failures or play up their successes. They don’t need makeup artists or image consultants. The only One they seek to please knows them inside out!\n\nRemember the promise, dear Christian. God sees all and, in eternity, there will be an awards ceremony unequaled here in this world. God’s awards won’t be for the best actors. In fact, Jesus said that the least will be first, those whose service, offerings, prayers were offered in hidden places will find God’s richest reward. Paul, near the end of his life, regarded by many as a failure, counted on the Lord’s commendation. He wrote “God’s applause! Depend on it, he’s an honest judge. He’ll do right not only by me, but by everyone eager for his coming.” (2 Timothy 4:8, The Message) What a glorious Day around the Throne of God. What could compare to receiving the commendation of Christ? Now, that’s an award worth living for!\n\nHere is the word from the Word. This passage should bring great sobriety to those who are just trying to act like a Christian. They are of great comfort for those whose inner life and outer works are aligned, in integrity. I hope it’s a powerful promise for you that keeps you real. “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.” (Hebrews 4:12-13, NLT)"

"In addressing the Committee to Rebuild Lafayette North last week, Lafayette Utilities System Director Terry Huval announced that LUS is now operating two new 50-megawatt power generators, which could translate into lower electricity rates for Lafayette residents. He also said that LUS was nearing completion of \"state of the art\" renovation and expansion of its sewage plant located on Ambassador Caffery Parkway. \"Of course, you've been seeing stories about these projects in the paper every day,\" Huval said with a laugh, knowing that no one in the room was eagerly awaiting an update on the utility's electric or sewage operations. The only thing on people's minds was the Public Service Commission's latest ruling on LUS' fiber-to-the-home project.\n\nSince LUS announced its intentions to deliver phone, cable and Internet service to Lafayette residents nearly 16 months ago, the public utility has been engulfed in extensive legal battles with BellSouth and Cox Communications over the project. LUS has spent approximately $1.4 million on consultants, lawyers and marketing expenses related to the initiative, which was approved by a 24 percent margin in a public referendum July 16.\n\nBut Huval sees light at the end of the tunnel. LUS hits another milestone Sept. 1 when the Public Service Commission meets to adopt financing rules for the new venture. The PSC could be LUS' final hurdle before issuing bonds for the project. Opponents to the plan have until mid-October to contest the July 16 referendum, LUS' bond ordinance or the PSC ruling. Huval hopes that deadline will pass without further challenges to the LUS initiative, and the fiber build-out could begin in earnest in early 2006.\n\n\"This is a complicated process,\" Huval says. \"There's a lot of work in the background that took place for this to happen.\"\n\nThe PSC staff has been working since last September on developing the accounting rules for LUS' new telecommunications division. The rules are based on state law and designed to create a level playing field for a public entity to compete with private telecom providers. LUS and the incumbent private providers, Cox Communications and BellSouth, have gone back and forth with the PSC and its staff to negotiate the rules. The staff's final recommendations, released last Wednesday, Aug. 24, appear to be a compromise that meets LUS approval.\n\n\"I think we have everything in the recommendation that LUS can live with,\" says Public Service Commissioner Jimmy Field, whose district covers Lafayette and Baton Rouge. \"I'm not saying it's ideal,\" he adds. \"But [LUS] understands that our responsibility was to set rules to make the competition fair given that this is the first time a government entity will be engaged in competition with private entities.\"\n\nBellSouth and Cox Communications representatives did not return calls for comment on the PSC recommendations by press time. Cox has requested the chance to make oral arguments before the commission prior to the final ruling. (An amendment to the proposed rules requires the approval of three commissioners.)\n\nField has been a key ally for LUS and helped set up meetings between LUS representatives and public service commissioners.\n\n\"Jimmy has been on the commission for quite some time,\" Huval says. \"And he knows the process better than we do. We know what it's like to deal with our [city-parish] council. Our biggest concern was not being as familiar with the PSC.\"\n\nLUS also employed lobbyist Randy Haynie and several attorneys for the PSC negotiations, which recently turned in LUS' favor. The PSC staff's initial draft of rules in June followed an interpretation of the law advocated by BellSouth and would have prohibited LUS from using any utility revenues in paying off up to $125 million in bonds for the project. The staff's final recommendations for the rules ' released last Wednesday ' reversed that opinion and allow LUS' utilities division to cover the communications division should the bonds go into default. Without that change, it would have been very difficult to obtain a favorable interest rate on its loan.\n\n\"It was just a mistake for our recommendation to come out and say that you couldn't pledge the assets,\" says Field. The new rules also side with LUS' plea to allow money from its utility division to be loaned to its communications division at fair market rates. LUS has agreed with BellSouth and the commission's request to make an in-lieu of tax payment ' equal to what private providers pay ' during each year of operation.\n\nCommissioner Dale Sittig, who represents several Acadiana parishes surrounding Lafayette, including St. Landry and Acadia, says he feels the final rules are fair to both sides.\n\n\"The rules are not set in favor of anybody or against anybody,\" he says. \"The commission has no dog in this fight. We're doing exactly what the law says. Hopefully, everybody can get on board.\"\n\nWhile only three votes are needed to approve the rules, Field says he is hoping for a unanimous decision. \"I think to some degree they will give me some deference because it's in my area, and I know the situation very well, but in the end [the commissioners] will vote their own conscience.\"\n\nLast week, Commissioner Foster Campbell reserved any comment on the staff's final rule recommendations because he had not yet had a chance to fully review them. Commissioners Jay Blossman and Lambert Bossiere did not return calls for comment.\n\nField says that LUS' plan has been selling itself.\n\n\"I've always felt like as a public service commission that we should be an instrument of economic development,\" he says. \"We should help the state of Louisiana attract industry. We ought to open the door and allow them to try to do this and take the heat, so to speak, from the private entities, because we're losing a lot of industry in Louisiana. This might be a way we can attract high-tech jobs, and for that reason, because of the economic development angle, I believe the other commissioners realize that. We need to take that risk and go ahead and let LUS start this whenever they feel comfortable.\""

"To what extent do we understand the term ‘Hate Speech’? How is it dangerous? And more importantly, as Muslims, how does Islam guide us in this matter?\n\nPresently, there is no singular legal definition of the term ‘Hate Speech’ due to its complexity and ability to encompass different situations and contexts.[2] By and large, it is described as any form of communication in speech, writing or even behaviour that is directed to a person or a group based on their “protected characteristics”.[3] This includes race, ethnicity, gender identity, nationality, descent, serious disease or disability.\n\nIn other words, it is an act of discrimination like any other – except with words. Generally, it has five criteria:[4]\n\ni) Form: a form of expression that is not confined to direct speech but also include all acts that constitute an incitement to discrimination, hostility to violence such as promoting, distributing and participating in such organisation or activities;\nii) Promoter: individually or in groups with an official capacity or any ordinary period or an unofficial group,\niii) Content;\niv) Context: intention for the extreme expression. For instance, the context of racial hatred or advocacy for war;\nv) Potential impact: for example, disorder and crime, a threat to authority, violation of reputation or rights.\n\nHow do words cause real-world violence?\n\n2. From Hate Speech to Violence\n\nHate Speech marginalises groups and sows the seeds of intolerance and anger. This often leads to legitimising acts of hate.\n\nRead: The Muslim response to provocation\n\nThere are a few basis and instances of how hate speech brings about damage.\n\nIt starts with social categorisation when we cave into groups and subconsciously draw a line between in-group and out-group. Within the in-group, we view people of ‘our kind’ through the ‘Assumed Similarity Effect’ where we see everyone ‘our kind’ alike, whereas for those we deem different, we project the Out-Group Homogeneity Effect; where we see the rest alike.[5]\n\nThis mental divide facilitates mechanisms for moral disengagement to the out-group. Amongst the different mechanisms of Moral Disengagement is Dehumanisation, where people psychologically allow themselves to carry out cruel acts to the ‘Other’ by divesting and stripping them of human qualities. Once the ‘Other’ is being dehumanised, potential victims are no longer viewed as persons with feelings, hopes, or concerns but as subhuman objects.\n\nFor example, the Tutsi minority during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda was referred to as ‘cockroaches’, and in a video called ‘the Blessed Paris Raid against Crusader France’ by terrorist group Islamic State (IS), it described Paris as “the capital of prostitution and obscenity”, its streets as “rotten” and its Minister of Foreign Affairs as a “fool”.[6] Through such an outlook on the ‘Other’, the ‘subhumans’ are thus regarded as insensitive to maltreatment and capable of being influenced only by harsh methods.\n\nMeanwhile, demonisation involves portraying a group as a monster or disease that brings a moral threat. When presented this way, harming the ‘Other’ is not only seen as acceptable but also desirable and beneficial to the in-group’s survival.[7]\n\nWith the prevalence of social media and more time spent online, it becomes easier for disagreements to evolve into insults, dehumanisation, calling for infliction of physical harm, and galvanizing support for the total elimination of the ‘Other’; as social media act as a veil and remove the aspect of accountability online.\n\n3. Hate Speech According to Islamic Tradition\n\nLet’s see how the above example from terrorist group IS is considered hate speech in Islam through the criteria of hate speech. From the brief example, the content of the video violated one of the Islamic values which is the principle of respecting others by demeaning others.\n\nIt also neglects two basic human rights; the right for life and the right for religion.[8] IS believes that all people should be Muslims and should support them. They are willing to violate the sacredness of religion because of disagreement regarding religion. It becomes a basis to justify their acts of violence as those who oppose them are deemed as their enemy.\n\nThe term “Crusaders” often used by IS signals that the “war” they are fighting is on a religious basis and that it is still ongoing. This makes peaceful coexistence impossible and violates the principle of respecting other religions. In the Quran Allah says,\n\n“For you is your religion, and for me is my religion”\n\nThe specific example also showed that the group called for hatred and hostility, full of insults and name-calling. All these elements combined have resulted in serious offences to both the Muslim and non-Muslim community.\n\nAlthough the term hate speech was only coined recently, our Islamic history has seen the consequences of hate speech.\n\nFor example, during the rule of Khalifah Uthman Ibn Affan r.a, there was a Jewish man by the name of Abdullah Ibn Saba’ who claimed that he was a Muslim. He went to Muslim countries to gather support until he reached Egypt when he spread hate speech against the Caliphs; Sayyidina Abu Bakar r.a, Sayyidina Umar r.a. and Khalifah Uthman r.a. Ibn Saba claimed that Sayyidina Ali was the deserving successor of Sayyidina Umar and accused Sayyidina Uthman of being an unjust man who abused his authority and incited people to protest and revolt against him.[9]",

"This hateful narrative managed to influence people which led to the assault and murder of Khalifah Uthman r.a. While those who were involved in the murder were punished, Ibn Saba' who started and propagated the hate speech did not suffer any consequences. During that point of time, there was no standard evidence to determine whether his speech was the main reason behind the murder of Khalifah Uthman r.a.\n\nUnpacking Hate Speech is not a straightforward task. Before we react to criticism against us, our race or religion, or conversely, react negatively towards others, we should be reminded of these Quranic verses which clearly guide us in terms of behaviour and manner of reaction to criticism. Following these verses as guidance, what are the etiquettes in handling disagreements while maintaining diversity in dialogue?\n\n“and let there be a group among you who call others to goodness, encourage what is good and forbid what is evil – it is they who will be successful.”\n\nIt is very important to broach the subject in a positive and sincere manner. People are often passionate in expressing their views surrounding topics like religion, racism, extremism or politics. While we have our own perspective on these issues, it is encouraged to ask for consent or permission to discuss and inquire about the topic.[10] Simply stating that you know the topic is a challenging one and asking if they prefer avoiding it shows clearly that you are making a potentially volatile territory safe and that you are sensitive and care about their perspective.\n\nAlthough we hold strong views against a topic, our attitude throughout the exchange is important. Remain respectful.[11] For example, “I learn that conservatives have strong opinions about X issue, but I’m not as familiar with why they feel this way about Y issue” rather than “I feel silly that I don’t know why conservatives feel this way about Y issue.” While we are motivated to uphold the truth or clear misconceptions, the Quran reminds us to refrains from inappropriate speech and refrain from ridicule;\n\n“Tell My believing servants to say only what is best. Satan certainly seeks to sow discord among them. Satan is indeed a sworn enemy to humankind.”",
null,
"Express and acknowledge their views before explaining why you disagree. The goal of a productive conversation is to build understanding and learning, and not tear each other apart. In the Quran, Allah s.w.t. says,\n\nTrying to win the conversation subconsciously leads us to ignore the feelings and perspectives of the other party and create tension. This increases the probability of heated exchange, derogatory remarks, and hate speech.\n\nGuided by the Quran, InsyaAllah, we as Muslims will be able to refrain from engaging in any form of hate speech, while at the same time, foster greater understanding and harmony as we co-exist with our differences with people of other races and religions."

"In the first, we are introduced to the alien hero Kal-El. He was born on the planet Krypton as that world approached its self-destruction, as its leaders ignored the warning signs and refused to abandon their home. Jor-El knew that the end was near, so he send his infant son into space, with all the knowledge of his people and with the means of reaching Earth, where a yellow sun and a different atmosphere would mean that Kal-El would grow up to be special. Found by the Kents and raised as their son Clark in Smallville, Kansas, this boy would become the world’s greatest hero, after finally understanding the whole of his past and the mission his parents bestowed upon him when they saved his life; to protect mankind, to be their guide, and to always do right. Clark Kent, moving to Metropolis and becoming a journalist for the Daily Planet newspaper, would keep the city safe. But falling in love with fellow reporter Lois Lane and running afoul of genius villain Lex Luthor would complicate his heroics, and sometimes difficult choices arise when you find yourself in too deep.\n\nFrom the opening credits onward, audiences can sense something special about Superman, an epic adventure with all the pieces present to go down in history as one of the very best. The score is perfection, and flows throughout every moment, each main character receiving a theme; Superman, Lois, Lex. John Williams is obviously the best there is, and his talents are on full display here, with music that I will never forget. This is one of Donner’s first films, his career taking off in the 80s & 90s with hits that became cult classics, and you can see his skill easily. Compared to today’s comic book movies, he kept things very simple; basically we see Krypton, meet Superman, he falls in love, and then saves the day, but that’s enough for one film, even one with a long run time. The Krypton scenes are cool, the villains are hilarious, Reeve is an American institution, and the cast is solid, with Marlon Brando popping up to play Jor-El. Margot Kidder I could have done without, she’s loud and weird, and not a very good leading lady, but basically everything else works, and I’m glad I’ll always have this film to return to."

"Every year since 1918, the United States has observed the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in a special way. As many high school history students can tell you, this was the effective time and day of the armistice which ended World War I.\n\nAs significant as it was, World War I does not resonate in the American psyche as does World War II or the Civil War. But it is hard to overstate its impact. World War I ushered in a completely new type of war, marked by huge armies, massive causality rates, multiple theaters of operation, the mobilization of national economies and the application of modern, industrial technologies to warfare.\n\nThe first widespread and tactically significant use of aircraft, submarines, tanks, machine guns and chemical weapons occurred in World War I. Though fought a century ago, the impact of World War I remains with us today. Balkan civil wars, the status of Northern Ireland and much of the ethnic conflict in the Middle East can all be traced directly to World War I and its settlement.\n\nApril 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into World War I. The war greatly changed America. The United States greatly expanded its armed forces to fight the conflict. By the war’s end, there were over 4 million troops under arms.\n\nAmerica emerged from World War I as an economic,political and military power. Washington, DC grew quickly and many temporary buildings were erected for government workers busy building up the armed services and managing aspects of the economy.\n\nFew traces of those changes can be seen today but there are important memorials to the soldiers who fought in the war. The centennial of America’s entry into the “Great War” provides a suitable occasion to visit these landmarks and honor those who served.\n\nThis month Travel Objective: DC highlights a few World War I landmarks that are accessible from downtown Washington and easily added to most visitors’ itineraries. We organized the landmarks by geography for convenient trip planning. Please click on the links below for more information, including a Route Recon for how to get there.\n\nIf you are interested in learning more about the U. S. experience in the “the Great War,” visit the website of the United States World War I Centennial Commission. The commission was founded by Congress in 2013 to educate Americans about the war and to organize and promote various commemorative activities. You can learn more about the proposed National World War I memorial, review historical information and even sign up to volunteer in your community. It would be a fitting tribute to all those men and women, soldiers and civilians, who answered the country’s call a century ago."

"When a Massachusetts cop saw the list of things two women were trying to steal from a grocery store five days before Christmas, their situation touched his heart.\n\n“It was all food,” he observed.\n\nSo instead of arresting them, he bought a $250 gift card to pay for Christmas dinner.\n\nOfficer Matt Lima of the Somerset Police Department paid for the dinner after responding to a call at the local Stop and Shop and seeing the two small children with the women, who had been caught skipping the scanner at the self-checkout line and putting several items straight into their bags.\n\n“I have two girls myself, similar on age to the two girls that were there, so it kind of struck me a little bit,” Lima told local NBC affiliate WJAR.\n\nHe was moved when he learned that the mother of the two kids had no job, and the food they were stealing was for their holiday dinner. “There was nothing else on there like health and beauty items, shampoo, anything like that. It was all food,” he said. “I just tried to put myself in that family’s shoes and show a little bit of empathy.”\n\nThe store issued to two women a “no trespass” order.\n\nSomerset Police Chief George McNeil praised the officer in a statement that said, “This incident is a true testament of Officer Lima’s great character and decision making.”"

"When Tesla unveiled the next-generation Roadster and the Cybertruck to the world, the two vehicles immediately shocked the automotive industry. The Roadster stunned because of its insane specs, and the Cybertruck shocked because of its unorthodox design that is unlike any other pickup truck on the market. However, the two vehicles also share something very unique: they both lack side mirrors.\n\nFederal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, titled “Rear Visibility,” requires all vehicles to “be equipped with rearview mirrors to provide drivers with a view of objects that are to their side or their side and rear.” However, the NHTSA recently hinted that “light vehicles and heavy trucks” may eventually be equipped with camera systems instead of traditional side mirrors.\n\nAn edition of the United States government’s Federal Register from late 2019 shows the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration sought more information on the possibility of vehicles utilizing a “Camera Monitor System,” or CMS. The removal of mirrors instead of camera systems would eliminate the need for traditional side mirrors and possibly rearview mirrors, too.\n\nTesla’s absence of side mirrors started back in 2013 with the unveiling of the Model X. After wrestling with the idea of a side-mirrorless SUV to increase aerodynamic performance, CEO Elon Musk stated that manufacturers were required to install side mirrors on vehicles. A side mirror-less design actually benefits electric cars like Teslas, since side mirrors increase drag, reducing range. This was done by Audi with the e-tron, with the vehicle being offered with a side mirror-less trim that is slightly more efficient.\n\nThe Cybertruck’s side mirrors were absent during its unveiling event in November 2019. Instead of regular mirrors, Tesla had equipped the vehicle with Autopilot cameras that are in the truck’s front fender. Many enthusiasts of the electric carmaker speculated that this was a design that wouldn’t enter production as regulations still existed that required side mirrors.\n\nTo determine the effectiveness of camera systems instead of traditional mirrors, the NHTSA conducted its research and testing. The organization also examined testing performed by other parties. The CMS noted that during a trial period from 2006 to 2011, NHTSA research showed that several safety concerns arose from the use of cameras instead of mirrors. These stemmed from glares when sunlight touched the cameras. However, the German Federal Highway Research Institute published a separate study that showed the CMS meets “specific quality criteria” and can provide “sufficient” rear visibility for drivers.\n\nSo the question is: What has changed in the nine years since the study concluded? For one, cameras have gotten significantly better. What was once a quality piece of photography equipment can be found on the back of an iPhone. High-resolution pictures and videos are not uncommon, and it is not rare for even extremely affordable cameras to provide better quality images than what was available in 2011.\n\nTo determine an accurate and fair assessment of the CMS, a new study should be performed using the 2020 technology. The use of rearview backup cameras is a standard feature on most vehicles today. While such systems are used mostly when backing into a parking spot, it is still relevant, and it shows that the widely adopted technology can be used in an effective and safe manner. This feature could be expanded on, and mirrors could be removed from vehicles if the proper research was performed and quality cameras were placed on a vehicle’s exterior.\n\nTesla has hinted at mirrorless driving in the past, and the door is open now more than ever. It seems this system could be integrated into performance vehicles like the Roadster, or pickups like the Cybertruck in the future. The designs of these two all-electric vehicles have hinted towards a future that does not include traditional side mirrors, which could change the way other carmakers design vehicles as a whole. Tesla’s minimalistic interior and large centrally-located dash screen has been adopted by many other carmakers, showing the electric car company influences other automakers in the industry. A side-mirror-less theme may be the next big trend that Tesla starts."

"The Faculty / Duck Down Records\n\nGrowing up just a block away from The Notorious B.I.G., watching him go from local corner boy to rap superstar, Skyzoo couldn’t help but dream big. The Brooklyn, NY native saw life in all of its “heaven and hell” juxtaposition, being from the infamous home of both Jay-Z and “Do The Right Thing”. He started rapping at age nine, writing about what he witnessed on his daily routines as a child. Those years of observation have turned into first person narratives that have labeled Skyzoo as a “new legend” and have led to his albums being critically acclaimed by fans and critics alike. His storytelling has been commended by all walks of literary life, from hip hop royalty to university professors and everyone in between.\n\nFrom HBO and NBA 2K to ESPN and Buffalo Wild Wings, Sky has lucratively brought corporate America along for a Brooklyn ride. Outside of writing music, he’s lent his pen to other literary areas. In 2017 the world saw the release of “Patti Cake$”, a major motion picture released in the summer of ‘17 to critical acclaim (sweeping the Sundance fest and labeled the “must see” move of the summer by People Magazine and Entertainment Weekly) which he co-started in, served as the lead actor’s consultant, and is an associate producer/co-owner of. In light of that success, he’s currently developing and pitching scripted television pilots and full length films, and he’s ghostwritten and done song writing for a countless list of Grammy award winning and platinum selling Hip-Hop and R&B artists.\n\nMusically, he’s collaborated with a plethora of artists and producers, including the likes of Jill Scott, Just Blaze, Dr. Dre, Bilal, Tyrese, Wale, Jadakiss, Black Thought, Pete Rock, Jahlil Beats, Illmind, John Legend, DJ Khalil, Raheem Devaughn, Talib Kweli, and Spike Lee, just to name a few. His most recent album, “Retropolitan”, a full length collaborative album with legendary producer Pete Rock has been garnering praise and attention since word of its inception leaked. What stands out most in regards to all of Skyzoo’s accomplishments is how they’ve all come to fruition on account of his own work and will.\n\nThe best way to describe him? Ironically, it’s noted in a lyric of his own, on his track “Fulfillment”, as the line goes “Half ’94 Nas/half ’97 Betha”, both an homage and testament to how critics and fans alike see him: the storytelling and lyricism of a young Nas, and the style, appeal and marketability of a young Mase. Wonderful company to be amongst by all means. The beauty in it all, is as his slogan goes, “Lyrics Will Never Be The Same.”",

"Before the world ever heard the name ELZHI, the young Detroit artist was sitting in the back of classrooms thinking of rhymes, spitting verses while his friend Fes banged out beats on lunchroom tables, or was battling rival emcees on the blacktop after school.\n\nFast forward to 2010, After overwhelming success of his album ELMATIC, after “Lead Poison” is named Apple Music’s number 1 album of 2016, and even after the 2018 release of Jericho Jackson, with production overseen by 9th Wonder — ELZHI continues to work his craft.\n\nHe is currently working on a new album that will be released in 2020.",

"Oil sands workers will be declared essential in Alberta as the province prepares a list of who will keep working should it need to ratchet up its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\nOntario and Quebec shuttered all non-essential businesses Monday in a bid to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. Essential workplaces in those provinces include supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacies, takeout and delivery restaurants, hotels, and hardware, liquor, beer and cannabis stores.\n\nAn Alberta government source, not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, said their province will soon take similar action. The source said the list is currently being developed by a cross-ministry team with officials from health, labour, energy and municipal affairs under the guidance of the Provincial Operations Centre.\n\nAlberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage told The Globe and Mail in an e-mail the oil sands are strategically important to Alberta and Canada, and more information on their continued operation would be released in the coming days.\n\nShe said the health and safety of the thousands of workers from across Canada who live in fly-in, fly-out oil sands camps in northern Alberta, typically for several weeks at a stretch, will be a focus for the government.\n\nWorkers live communally in the camps, sharing bedrooms, washrooms, and elbow space in lunchrooms – conditions that make them ripe for a COVID-19 outbreak, experts say. But symptoms of the virus may be mild in the sector’s mainly young and physically healthy work force.\n\nThe risk is that they may then have contact with other people who are more vulnerable, such as seniors or people with underlying conditions.\n\nLast week, a worker at Borealis Lodge, about 22 kilometres north of Fort McMurray, was taken to hospital with symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Civeo Corp., a U.S. company that operates that camp and others in the oil sands, told The Globe and Mail Tuesday the worker’s test came back negative.\n\nIn the case of Civeo, the company said that means packaged food and reduced canteen hours, screening new arrivals for symptoms, controlled access to common areas, and banning anyone who has travelled internationally from accessing a facility for 14 days after their return.\n\nOil sands producers continue to operate despite oil prices battered by reduced demand because of the contagion, and a global oil-price war being waged by Saudi Arabia and Russia.\n\nThose market conditions have led North American oil companies to slash more than US$20 billion from their capital budgets in efforts to protect their bottom lines.\n\nThe latest massive dial-down came from Suncor Energy Inc., which on Monday night announced it would trim spending by $1.5 billion this year. It also revised its crude production forecast down by 7 per cent.\n\nA multibillion-dollar government aid package for Canada’s energy industry, expected to come from Ottawa, could be at least week away. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has said he would like to see federal cash for a program to help clean up abandoned and inactive oil and gas wells, which would create jobs and shrink company liabilities.\n\nThe government said in a statement the effective operation of Alberta’s natural gas and electricity systems is critical to the province’s health response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to support much-needed economic activity.\n\nMr. Kenney said the change would allow Ms. Savage to focus on the “unprecedented challenges” faced by Alberta’s largest industry.",

"This is the first time that a foreign terrorist is deposing before an Indian court via video conferencing.",
null,
"The second day of globally designated Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist and US citizen David Coleman Headley's testimony continued for the second day on Tuesday.\n\nMonday was the first time that a foreign terrorist is deposing before an Indian court via video conferencing.\n\n\"It is for the first time in the Indian legal history, one foreign terrorist would give his evidence through video link and his evidence will be recorded. And I feel his evidence is most useful because that may unfold many things behind the terror attack of 26 November,\" senior Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told ANI.\n\nThese are the some of the revelations made by Headley:\n\n1. Lashkar was part of 26/11 conspiracy and he was a \"true follower of LeT\". Got inspired by JuD chief Hafiz Sayeed's speeches and joined LeT in 2002 at a training camp in Muzaffarabad. During the courses I attended at militant training camps, I met Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhavi & Hafiz Saeed. During these courses, they also taught us that India is an enemy of Islam. I intended to go to Kashmir and fight Indian troops, but they did not allow me.\n\n2. Major Ali introduced me to Major Iqbal of Pakistan ISI. I met Major Iqbal of ISI in Lahore in early 2006. He asked me to gather military intelligence from India and also try to recruit someone from the Indian military to spy. I told Major Iqbal that I would do as he asked. ISI provides \"financial, military and moral support\" to terror outfits LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen. I was asked by LeT to track troop movement, locate defence locations and also recruit someone from the Indian military for spying.\n\n3. In November, December 2007, the LeT held a meeting in Muzaffarabad, which was attended by (Headley's handler in the outfit) Sajid Mir and one Abu Kahsa. On the instructions of LeT handler Sajid Mir, he conducted a recce of vital installations in Mumbai and sent back videos.\n\n4. LeT had planned to attack a proposed meeting of Indian defence scientists at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai and he was asked by Pakistan's ISI to recruit Indian armymen to spy for them. LeT group as a whole was responsible for the terror attacks in India, and it can be speculated that all orders came from its top commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi. Despite ban, LeT still active through the United Jehadi Council.\n\n5. Visited India at least seven times from Pakistan, either from Lahore or Karachi. Last visited India in March 2009. In November 2007, Headley met LeT top leaders when the proposed terror attacks on Mumbai were planned in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Names former ISI chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha who helped him in terror operations.\n\n6. Had a general idea about 26/11 plan. He drew maps, took video footage and scouted several targets for the attacks including the Taj Hotel, Oberoi Hotel and Nariman House. His reconnaissance provided vital information for the 10 LeT terrorists and their handlers, who launched the attack. LeT made two unsuccessful attempts to carry out terror attacks before finally striking in November 2008, once in September and another in October.\n\n7. In January 2008, Headley’s wife Faiza complained to the US Embassy in Islamabad that he was involved in terrorist activities and was closely associated with LeT.\n\n\"After I got a new passport I disclosed it to my colleagues in LeT of which one of them was Sajid Mir, the person with whom I was dealing with. The objective for coming to India was to set up an office/business so that I can live in India. Before the first visit, Sajid Mir gave me instructions to make a general video of Mumbai,\"\n\nIndian prosecutors want Headley to confess details about the involvement of the Pakistani army, intelligence officials and Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the 26/11 attacks.\n\nThese revelations would count as incontrovertible evidence against Pakistan’s claim of non-state actors being involved in the Mumbai attack.\n\nAccording to media reports, top Mumbai Police and National Investigation Agency officials were also present in the court in addition to US Embassy officials.\n\nThis comes after a special TADA court in Mumbai allowed 54-year-old US citizen David Coleman Headley to be named as an accused in the 26/11 case in November last year.\n\nSummons was initially issued to Headley to appear in court on December 10when he was pardoned.\n\n\"I pleaded guilty in the past to the charges in the US and I admitted I was a participant in these charges...

"Passive Income: It’s Not Just for the Super Rich",
null,
"Creating a “passive” income, one that comes to you without requiring your own physical labor to earn, is the key to creating true wealth, and rarely understood by most Americans today who have been living the large life of over-spending and too much debt for so long they can’t imagine having a passive income. Rather than thinking of yourself as a typical W-2 employee who earns an “active” income that requires putting your own time and money into making more money, you need to start thinking seriously about what it means to create a cash surplus where your money goes to work for you to create a perpetual “passive” source of income that you cannot outlive.\n\nWhen people finally begin to see the importance of creating a passive income stream, they get passionate about contributing to qualified investment retirement plans often believing the notion perpetuated by the mainstream financial industry that this is THE way to build a retirement income. While qualified plans such as IRAs and 401(k)s can be ONE way to create income, they certainly shouldn’t be viewed as the only way.\n\nUnfortunately, the popularity of qualified investment programs often outshines other methods for building passive income that can be much more potent and long-lasting. The problem with qualified plans is threefold:\n\nIn addition to these three problems, the taxes and fund manager fees assessed on these programs can often greatly limit wealth. What this\n\nmeans is that it’s unlikely you will ever be able to build to an adequate retirement on 401(k)s, IRAs, and other such lump sum accounts alone, especially if you have started later in life to prepare for retirement.\n\nSo what is needed? The first step is to think outside the “qualified retirement plan” box by looking at perpetual money making methods. One of the most powerful of these methods is to create your own business.\n\nAt first blush this may not seem like a very passive method for making money, since initially you will be very “actively” involved in building it using your own labor. But over time, and by the way, usually over a much shorter time than will be needed to build up a lump retirement sum in qualified plans, you can create something that has the potential to provide a perpetual income stream and that does not limit how much you can take out of it. In addition, such an income stream doesn’t take decades to build in order to reap its rewards. Plus you can take advantage of the very liberal tax laws that apply to businesses, which can save you thousands in taxes."

"We held our second meeting this week and decided to go ahead with our plan to film at one of the University’s Preview Days, to look at how the Faculty of Creative & Cultural Industries promotes itself on these more general open days, having been informed of its date after our previous meeting. It lined up well with our show, since the Preview Day was held on the Saturday immediately before, meaning the information would be fresh & we would have the first few days of the week of the show to edit the Insert together.\n\nAt this meeting e began to think about presenters in more detail. I was lined up as one, Jo Walker as another and we decided to use Natalie Wilsher (One of the show’s veteran presenters) as our newscaster.\n\nIt emerged this week that we were having difficulty getting ahold of Mark Sexton to arrange the interview about Computing & Digital Sound, after we initially reached out to him and received a positive reception his schedule became busier and as a result we weren’t able to arrange a date & time for the interview during the week. We hope to rectify this problem by shooting the interview early next week and starting the edit immediately after it is shot.\n\nWith regards to the editing, I noted that the required workflow for CCi Live inserts was slightly more complicated than previous workflows that we had used, since it involved strict offline and online requirements and mandated very specific final export requirements. As a result, I decided it was important that everyone who was going to be involved in the editing process get up to speed on it, which I communicated to them prior to the shoot on saturday.\n\nBetween times, I prepared the necessary paperwork for the team filming on Saturday – the release forms, risk assessment, call sheet etc., arranged with the director and his crew when and where to meet etc. and instructed them about the sorts of things they needed to film on the day.\n\nToday (Sunday), I wrote the first draft of the script for the show. I wanted to give the show an appropriately light-hearted tone, so I made sure to include a number of jokes throughout the script to keep the general mood and tone of the show light, without descending into farce. It’s important the jokes not be offensive or even exclusionary. The idea is to make the presenters approachable and likeable, and make the audience feel included in what’s going on.\n\nSimilarly, I was careful to make sure that the presenters spent about as much time in the script directly addressing the audience as they did each other. This makes the audience feel they are part of whatever is happening on screen, rather than just watching two people talk, which is important as the audience is the most important consideration for any television show.",

"Under a settlement reached between the league and the NFL Players Association, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been suspended for 11 games and fined $5 million for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy based on allegations of sexual misconduct.\n\nThe agreement was confirmed by a person familiar with the situation. The settlement was not immediately announced because it had not been formally completed, but the agreement was in place Thursday, barring any last-minute snags, according to another person with knowledge of the negotiations.\n\nThis ends the disciplinary process, avoiding a ruling by an attorney whom NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had designated to resolve the league’s appeal of Watson’s original suspension. Sue L. Robinson, a former U.S. district judge who is the disciplinary officer jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, initially imposed a six-game suspension on Aug. 1.\n\nThe appeal ruling was to have been made by Peter C. Harvey, the former attorney general of New Jersey. The league had been seeking an indefinite suspension of at least one full season, a fine and required treatment in its appeal, according to a person familiar with the situation. If Harvey had decided to increase Watson’s suspension to a full season, that perhaps could have led to a lawsuit by Watson and the NFLPA, renewing the courtroom clashes between the league and the union over player discipline.\nInstead, the NFL and NFLPA reached an agreement. Watson’s suspension is without pay. He signed a five-year contract worth a guaranteed $230 million with the Browns when they completed a trade with the Houston Texans for him in March. The deal included a salary of $1.035 million for this season.\nIn late June, Robinson conducted a three-day hearing. She then considered a post-hearing brief from each side and ruled that Watson had violated the conduct policy and that the NFL proved its case on all three points that it raised, including that Watson committed sexual assault (as defined by the league as unwanted sexual contact with another person).\n\nRobinson ruled that Watson, as the league contended, also violated the policy with conduct that posed a genuine danger to the safety and well-being of another person, and by undermining or putting at risk the integrity of the NFL. She called Watson’s conduct “predatory” and “egregious.” But Robinson also wrote that Watson’s sexual assault was nonviolent, and she was bound, she said, on the length of the suspension by previous NFL discipline for nonviolent sexual assault.\nUnder a revised version of the personal conduct policy established by the 2020 collective bargaining agreement, either the league or the union was permitted to appeal to Goodell or a person designated by him. The NFLPA and Watson announced on the night before Robinson’s ruling was delivered that they would abide by her decision, urging the league to do the same. The NFL instead exercised its right to appeal on Aug. 3, and Goodell chose Harvey to hear the case.\nEach side submitted a brief, and Harvey was to have made his decision without additional testimony or evidence beyond what was available to Robinson.\n\nGoodell said at the conclusion of a one-day NFL owners’ meeting last week in Bloomington, Minn., that the league appealed Robinson’s decision because it felt “it was the right thing to do.”\nThe NFL continued to pursue a suspension of an entire season, Goodell said then, “because we’ve seen the evidence. She was very clear about the evidence. She reinforced the evidence that there [were] multiple violations here and they were egregious and it was predatory behavior. Those are things that we always felt were really important for us to address in a way that’s responsible.”\nWatson issued a public apology in a televised interview before the Browns’ opening preseason game last Friday.\n\n“I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all the women that I’ve impacted in this situation,” Watson said. “My decisions that I made in my life that put me in this position, you know, I would definitely like to have back. But I want to continue to move forward and grow and learn and show that I am a true person of character. And I want to keep pushing forward.”\n\n\nSome observers viewed Watson’s apology as a potential precursor to a settlement between the league and union on the disciplinary measures. As they negotiated with the NFLPA on the settlement, NFL leaders had to weigh their desire to see Watson punished sufficiently with an inclination to keep a courtroom case from extending into the regular season.\nWatson did not play at all last season, as the Texans placed him on their game-day inactive list on a weekly basis. He was not suspended and was paid his entire $10.5 million salary. A hefty fine was seen as a means by which the NFL and NFLPA could seek retroactively to make Watson’s idle 2021 season more closely resemble an unpaid suspension.\n\nThe CBA says that Harvey’s written decision would have represented the “full, final and complete disposition of the dispute.” But that might not have prevented Watson and the NFLPA from challenging the appeal ruling in federal court, even if some legal experts said in recent weeks that they would have faced long odds because of the deference the courts would have been expected to give to the collectively bargained dispute-resolution process.\n\n\nIn 2015, the NFLPA managed to put on hold the four-game suspension of quarterback Tom Brady, then with the New England Patriots, for his alleged role in a scheme to under-inflate footballs. Brady played the entire 2015 season, based on a ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman. But Brady served his entire Deflategate suspension in 2016 after a federal appeals court reinstated it.\nDallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott likewise served his full six-game suspension under the personal conduct policy after dropping an appeal in November 2017. The NFLPA managed to postpone the onset of Elliott’s suspension for half of that season.\n\nMore than two dozen women filed civil lawsuits against Watson based on his conduct in massage therapy sessions. Watson has denied those allegations. Of the 25 lawsuits filed, Watson has reached settlement agreements with 23 of the women, according to their attorney, Anthony Buzbee. One lawsuit was withdrawn, and one remains pending.\nn\n\nKind of convenient that his first game will be in Houston against the Texans.\n\nEven if he cant' play for 11 games?\nReactions: This_Hawk_Abides\n\ncigaretteman said:\n“I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all the women that I’ve impacted, sprayed, dribbled upon, or otherwise splattered in this situation,” Watson said.\nClick to expand...\n\nThe statement by Watson isn't an apology, by the way. An apology would admit fault, admit that your actions harmed someone else, and then say you wholeheartedly sorry.\nI haven't seen all the details, but I have seen it reported that Watson will have to complete some form of awareness training. What form will that take, and is there a trigger mechanism for more penalties if he fails to complete it, or fails to show actual contrition/awareness after the training is completed. He's a serial predator. Those guys don't usually turn over a new leaf.\nReactions: hawkifann\n\nHe best figure his bleep out. If he keeps doing this sh1t, women will be less afraid of reporting when there's still evidence and his word is basically trash now.\n\ncigaretteman said:\nEven if he cant' play for 11 games?\nClick to expand...\n\nYes. He can’t negatively impact the team that way\n\nAnybody else would be in jail\n\nIs it?\nI think Baker-Mayfield was given a raw deal by Cleveland. With what Cleveland has offensively, #6 was good enough to win them a lot of games. Last year he was injured for about 3/4 of the year and they had no adequate back-up.\nWith the RBs Cleveland has, and the short/ medium pass gMe Baker gives them, Cleveland has more than enough offense to win a lot of games. I really don’t think Watson gives Cleveland any more of an edge than Mayfield.....and Baker-Mayfield gives Cleveland a lot better of a person than Watson does.\nOh well, it is pro football.....’nuff said.\n\njoelbc1 said:\nIs it?\nI think Baker-Mayfield was given a raw deal by Cleveland.

"After attending the Louisiana Water Festival in Baton Rouge in March, a small group of friends started wondering how we could bring the spirit of that environmental rally back to New Orleans. The Baton Rouge rally took a loud stand against a state government that has historically been kinder to oil and gas interests than to its own people. We thought that since New Orleans has so much at stake,environmentally and in the present legislative session, the city needs a loud demonstration of its own.\nBut we learned from others in activist communities that a similarly-styled rally would flop in New Orleans. It’s not in the city’s DNA to protest in that way. But deep in that DNA is the ability to be satirical, loud, and passionate. So we focused on what New Orleans does best: parades and parties.\nWe settled on a satirical wedding and second line to mock, bereave, and holler about an increasingly visible and barefaced relationship between our state government and the industry that has destroyed its coast.\nWith the parade, we are not by any means making light of the situation. We’re being realistic about providing people a means to express their hopes, pains, and frustrations about the way they are being governed. We also hope to draw the attention of our fellow residents (those who are and will continue to be the most affected by the ongoing environmental degradation of this place).\nAnd with the second line, we’re also being deliberate. The cultural quirks and celebrated carelessness that have made Louisiana famous have come at the cost of our coast. And that same beloved culture – the second lines, the music, the endless party – is what will be lost if we continue in our complaint, passive ways. It’s time we use that culture to create a momentum of resilience and preservation.\nIn light of a recent op-ed by columnist John Maginnis’, we hope to be as big, loud, and passionate as possible. “Steadily and without much legislative resistance, nails are being driven into the coffin of the coastal damages lawsuit against major oil companies,” he wrote. That’s why we are hoping for support from the wider community: to help rip out the nails, so to speak, of efforts that are clearly not in our interests as citizens and shouldn’t be in the interests of our representatives."

"“Get Back is Paul. That’s a better version of Lady Madonna. You know, a potboiler rewrite.”\n– John Lennon (1980)\n\nThe song was credited to The Beatles and Billy Preston. It was The Beatles’ only single that credited another artist.\n\n“Get Back” is a song recorded by the Beatles, originally released as a single on 11 April 1969. A different mix of the song later became the closing track of Let It Be (1970), which was the Beatles’ last album released just after the group split. The single version was later issued on CD on the second disc of the Past Masters compilation.\n\nThe single reached number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, France, West Germany, and Mexico. It was the Beatles’ only single that credited another artist at their request. “Get Back” was the Beatles’ first single release in true stereo in the US. In the UK, the Beatles’ singles remained monaural until the following release, “The Ballad of John and Yoko”.\n\n“By the time sessions reached Apple the lyric had changed and the title… well, Paul had his own ideas in that direction. George Martin, over the talkback: ‘What are you calling this, Paul?’ Paul: ‘Shit. Shit, take one.'”\n– Mark Lewisohn (The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions)\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (live, The Rooftop concert):\n\n“I think there’s some underlying thing about Yoko in there. You know, ‘Get back to where you once belonged.’ Every time he sang the line in the studio, he’d look at Yoko. Maybe he’ll say I’m paranoid. You know, he can say, ‘I’m a normal family man, those two are freaks.’ That’ll leave him a chance to say that one.”\n– John Lennon (1980)",

"The Beatles – Get Back (single version):\n\n..the single version of Get Back showcases The Beatles in smoothly grooving R&B mode, McCartney tossing off the lyric between infectious solos by Lennon and Preston. Deploying fewer chords than any Beatles single since Love Me Do, its blend of grace, punch, and daftness charmed record buyers enough to shift four million copies worldwide.\n~Ian MacDonald (Revolution in the Head: The Beatles’ Records and the Sixties)\n\nhigh-heel shoes / And her low-necksweater / Get back home, Loretta.” This does not appear on the album version.\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (Anthology 3, the third Rooftop take) with Paul saying: “You’ve been playing on the roofs again, and that’s no good, and you know your Mummy doesn’t like that… she gets angry… she’s gonna have you arrested! Get back!”:\n\nGeorge Harrison on Billy Preston’s involvement (Anthology):\n“He came in while we were down in the basement, running through Get Back, and I went up to reception and said, ‘Come in and play on this because they’re all acting strange’. He was all excited. I knew the others loved Billy anyway, and it was like a breath of fresh air. It’s interesting to see how nicely people behave when you bring a guest in, because they don’t really want everybody to know that they’re so bitchy… He got on the electric piano, and straight away there was 100% improvement in the vibe in the room. Having this fifth person was just enough to cut the ice that we’d created among ourselves.”\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (Let it be version):\n\n\n“don’t dig no Pakistanis taking all the people’s jobs.”\n\nWhen McCartney was “toying” with the lyrics to Get Back, he satirized the “Rivers of Blood speech” by Enoch Powell into a jam (it has become known as the Commonwealth Song.) The lyrics included a line “You’d better get back to your Commonwealth homes.” It had no melodic resemblance to Get Back, but it gives insight into the thinking behind the song’s lyrics.\n\n“When we were doing Let It Be, there were a couple of verses to Get Back which were actually not racist at all – they were anti-racist. There were a lot of stories in the newspapers then about Pakistanis crowding out flats – you know, living 16 to a room or whatever. So in one of the verses of Get Back, which we were making up on the set of Let It Be, one of the outtakes has something about ‘too many Pakistanis living in a council flat’ – that’s the line. Which to me was actually talking out against overcrowding for Pakistanis… If there was any group that was not racist, it was the Beatles. I mean, all our favourite people were always black. We were kind of the first people to open international eyes, in a way, to Motown.”\n– Paul McCartney (Rolling Stone magazine, 1986)\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (No Pakistani version):",

"The Beatles – Get Back (Let it Be Naked version):\n\nIn 2003, “Get Back” was re-released on the Let It Be… Naked album, remixed by independent producers with the sanction of the surviving ex-Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, with John Lennon’s and George Harrison’s widows. The “naked” version of “Get Back” is ostensibly a cleaned up version of the single version albeit much shorter as there is a fade immediately before the final “whoo” and coda.\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (John on Vocals, bootleg), with a great guitar solo also:\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (Love version):\n\nThe Beatles – Get Back (“The Underwater version” bootleg):\n\nGet Back lyrics (Let it Be version):\n\nJojo was a man who thought he was a loner\nBut he knew it couldn’t last.\nJojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona\nFor some California grass.\n\nYour mother’s waiting for you\nWearing her high-heel shoes\nAnd her low-neck sweater\nGet back Loretta,\nGet back, get back to where you once belonged"

"Radio Doc: Neil n Dud – The Other Side of Dudley Moore\n\nNeil Cowley is an award winning pianist and composer and Dudley Moore’s number one fan. Earlier this year, Cowley presented ‘The Other Side of Dudley Moore’, two sell out shows at London Ronnie Scott’s. With wit, flair and compassion he delivered a revealing and personal insight into his hero exploring why one of the UK’s greatest talents became more famous as the funny man from ‘Not only But Also…’ than the remarkably consummate and passionate pianist he was. The show was “ A triumphantly diverse tribute to Moore as a sidelined jazz maestro, sympathetically told by a lifelong devotee” said the Guardian.\n\nAs a companion to the live shows, Neil Cowley and Jazz FM created Neil n’ Dud; the Other Side of Dudley Moore, a one hour programme broadcast on Jazz Fm as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations. Such was its success that the documentary is to be broadcast on BBC Music Jazz, the temporary pop-up digital station that runs from 12th – 15th November and sees Jazz Fm, BBC Radio and the EFG London Jazz Festival collaborate for the first time.\n\nNeil n’ Dud – The Other Side of Dudley Moore celebrates the musical talent of Dudley Moore, better known as an actor and comedian, through the eyes of fellow pianist and lifelong fan Neil Cowley.\n\nThrough his journey, Neil discovers Dudley’s musical path was similar to his own and that he has much in common with his hero. This is a touching story that features music from Dudley’s many album releases, songs re-recorded by Neil, anecdotes and stories alongside a good dollop of humour. The programme also includes exclusive audio from a recently uncovered interview between Dudley and Jazz FM founder Dave Lee recorded for Christmas Day in 1990. Neil’s account reveals why Dudley Moore’s music tells us far more about him as a person, than his comedy ever could.\n\nBBC Music Jazz aims to offer listeners the very best of jazz music with something for everyone from complete beginners to aficionados. It broadcasts across the UK on digital radio, online and mobile from 2pm on Thursday 12th November 2015 – midnight Sunday 15th November 2015. Jazz FM will offer access to their flagship programmes and rare archive recordings alongside live content from BBC Radio 3’s collaboration with EFG London Jazz Festival and bespoke content from BBC Radios 2, 4, 6 and BBC Radio Scotland. Amongst many other highlights, there is an opening programme from Jamie Cullum, a celebration for Billie Holiday’s centenary, Jazz FM’s 1990 Royal Albert Hall launch night concert from Ella Fitzgerald and the Count Basie Orchestra while BBC’s Geoffrey Smith joins with Jazz FMs Helen Mayhew to countdown the 50 Greatest Jazz Artists as voted for by listeners.\n\nNeil n’ Dud – The Other Side of Dudley Moore is presented by Neil Cowley and produced by Nick Pitts/Jazz FM. It broadcasts on BBC Music Jazz on Friday 13th November from 6pm until 7pm."

"Johnny Bench spent his entire Hall of Fame career with the Cincinnati Reds. He has been a collector favorite ever since he first laced up his cleats and is considered one of the greatest catchers of all-time.

Bench is a regular on the autograph circuit which, keeps his values at reasonable rates compared to other Hall of Famers. That said, he still draws crowds wherever he goes. Johnny Bench card values, although not the highest, are still strong.\n\nNolan Ryan isn't the only diamond legend to make his official hobby debut in 1968 Topps Baseball.

However,that doesn't stop it from carrying significant weight in the collecting world.\n\nBench is a regular signer on the national autograph circuit. He also possess one of the best signatures in all of baseball. As a member of the Big Red Machine teams of the 1970's is fame carried over to commercial opportunities, contributing to him becoming a household name. As a result is signature is always in demand and has maintained its value very well through the years.\n\nThe unfortunate design of 1968 Topps did not do Bench any favors as he broke into the league. Like many rookies from the era, Bench shares his first card with a player who would go on to be little more than a hobby footnote. Bench's card-mate: Ron Tompkins, a pitcher who never amounted to much. Had the Johnny Bench card been a solo affair, there's little doubt it would be worth much more.\n\nThe card also has an error on the back. In the first line, \"the\" is spelled \"tne.\" There is some uncertainty if it is actually an error and not a print issue where the top half of the \"h\" did not appear. Also, many of the cards available do not feature the typo, which further supports the possibility of an issue with the ink.\n\nBelow you will find an example of what Johnny Bench's authentic signature looks like. This can be used as a first point of reference for determining the legitimacy of autograph memorabilia, but is not a substitute for having your items authenticated by a well-respected professional autograph authentication company.

"Thessaloniki Film Festival (TFF) is the largest film organisation in Greece and stages two annual festivals, one for fiction films (TIFF), the other documentaries (TDF). This year TFF will celebrate 60 years of showcasing films, innovation and evolution during its international film festival focusing on fiction films, which is running from October 31 to November 10 (the documentary festival is held every March).\n\n“Our task is to discover new, innovative, vanguard and sometimes difficult cinema both for fiction and in documentary cinema,” says TFF artistic director Orestis Andreadakis.\n\nTFF is a year-round event that celebrates cinema and attracts around 220,000 visitors annually from Greece and internationally.\n\nTourism from southeast Europe, the Mediterranean and Russia as well as students residing at the largest university campus in Greece create a dynamic cinema-going demographic in Thessaloniki. “We have a very vivid, young and demanding audience,” Andreadakis notes, “which is very nice for a film festival organiser.”\n\nIn addition to the two festivals, TFF also mounts premieres, seasons and film events in its four theatres and operates educational programmes for 27,000 young people in the town. There is also a Cinema Museum of Thessaloniki, the Thessaloniki Cinematheque and a 15,000-strong library of film publications.\n\nThe documentary festival (TDF) is an Oscar-eligible event endorsed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in which the winner of the festival’s Golden Alexander best documentary feature film is automatically eligible to submit for Oscar consideration in the best documentary feature category. “It means TDF is a good destination for filmmakers and their films,” says Andreadakis. Last year’s TDF Golden Alexander winner The Distant Barking Of Dogs was on the long list in the Oscars category.\n\nAndreadakis was appointed with general director Elise Jalladeau in 2016 to transform TFF into a truly international event and to establish innovative initiatives and collaborations with international and local partners.",
null,
"The events marking TFF’s six decades at the top of its game begin in Cannes with the ‘Thessaloniki goes to Cannes’ programme — a showcase of five Greek works in progress — and a party. Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is on Cannes’ Competition jury, while compatriot Panos H Koutras is on the Cinéfondation and short film jury.\n\n“It is important because it means Greek directors, actors and editors are respected and internationally renowned,” says Andreadakis of the Cannes connections (TFF also collaborates with Locarno Film Festival, presenting the Thessaloniki-Locarno Industry Academy International that provides training for junior professionals each November).\n\nTFF runs a brace of established industry events — TIFF’s Agora and TDF’s Doc Market — for professionals from southeast Europe, the Balkans and beyond.\n\n“Every year we welcome more than 500 professionals — buyers, sales agents, producers, festival programmers. We focus mainly on the films of southeast Europe and the Mediterranean including North Africa and the Middle East. For us [Agora] is our precious child,” says Andreadakis.\n\nMyriad arthouse films and upcoming filmmakers have been unveiled in the Agora in post-production or as works in progress before going on to other film festivals. They include Jasmila Zbanic’s Grbavica, Radu Jude’s Everybody In Our Family, Ofir Raul Graizer’s The Cakemaker, Deniz Gamze Erguven’s Mustang and Annemarie Jacir’s When I Saw You.\n\nBack to the future\n\nTFF’s forward-looking attitude is also reflected in the festival’s virtual reality (VR) competition section, presented in both TIFF and TDF editions, that highlight the future of cinema. TFF was the first to establish this in the southeast Europe area after Cannes and Venice.\n\nAs an independent art curator — he last curated the Greek Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2017 — as well as a film festival figure, Andreadakis is interested in looking at the interchange between film and other art forms, including VR.\n\n“I don’t believe in pure cinema, painting, dance, or theatre. You see many artists all around the world using video and cinema,” Andreadakis notes. “You see cinema using artistic elements from the visual arts. VR is a combination of that. We believe in it.”\n\nAmid all the celebration of its six-decade heritage, at its heart TFF is a friendly, city-focused film event that offers visitors a festival experience combining cinema, sightseeing, history, excellent food and 24 hours of Greek-authored good times.\n\nFor further information head to the official website, or email here."

"While the dangers of falling asleep at the wheel are readily apparent, the scope of the problem is not fully appreciated, some transportation insiders say.\n\nFatigue is highly underreported as an accident cause, said Daniel Bongers, chief technology officer at SmartCap, an Australian company that makes industrial safety products. For example, he said, a crash might officially be attributed to roadwork, but fatigue may have slowed the driver’s reaction time and decision making.\n\nTechnologies are becoming available to alert drowsy drivers, sometimes even before they feel tired. Biometric sensors are getting lighter, cheaper and more accurate, and new software systems can connect driver and vehicle data. New wearable technology monitors come in a variety of forms, including caps, vests, wristbands and glasses. The sensors can detect head bobs and jerks, signs the driver is falling asleep. But they’re also capable of much more sophisticated monitoring.\n\nFor instance, SmartCap Technologies makes a headband that detects electronic brain waves and translates them to a measure of alertness or fatigue. It notifies the drivers if they fall into the drowsy range.\n\nGet the full story at startribune.com.",

"It’s one of the hardest choices players face – should they return to a club where they enjoyed their time or risk a move to a bigger club? Reports suggest Youri Tielemans has chosen to return to Leicester City.\n\nAccording to Leicestershirelive, Tielemans has come to an agreement with the Foxes over personal terms, its now just down to the club to agree a fee with Monaco.\n\nThere’s a chance The Foxes could break their transfer record twice in one window, with the previous record being the move for Ayoze Perez last week, which the BBC reported to be worth around £30m.\n\nOne of the potential hold ups was the future of Adrien Silva who moved to Monaco on loan last season, but Leicestershirelive reported that he will not be involved in the deal with Monaco.\n\nLast week the Sun reported that Leicester believed they had beaten away interest from Manchester United and Spurs to sign the Belgian for around £40m, so it would undoubtedly be an impressive signing for Brendan Rogers.\n\nTielemans scored three goals and provided five assists in 13 league games for Leicester last season, and he’s a regular in the Belgium side so he would be a great option for Rodgers to build his team around next season.",
null,
"It’s also clear a player of his quality could surely have added something to bigger teams like United and Tottenham.\n\nSpurs recently signed Tanguy Ndombele, so perhaps have less of a need for Tielemans now, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could well feel he’d be an upgrade on Paul Pogba as a report from the Times throws his future into doubt."

"The risks of carrageenan (this food additive)",
null,
"Carrageenan is used, among other things, in the food industry and in the pharmaceutical industry. It is an extract of red algae that was initially considered safe.\n\nbut it is increasingly criticized for the illnesses that result from its long-term consumption.\n\nFind out in this article all about this food additive, what food regulatory bodies think, the products that contain it and all the risks of carrageenan.\n\nCarrageenan is a food additive that is used to increase the volume of low-fat or diet products without increasing the nutritional value (1).\n\nThis ingredient can be a gelling agent, a stabilizer or an emulsifier. It serves, in principle, to improve the texture of foods to make them smoother and more consistent.\n\nAs a reminder, the consumption rate of carrageenan has increased from 5 to 7% per year since 1973 due to the increase in population and that of economic growth.\n\nCarrageenan comes from the red algae called “carrageenan”. This algae is mainly found off Brittany.\n\nIn addition to the plants in great demand and used today which come from South America, the region of Brittany is the main producer of the powder found in small quantities in various culinary foods in France.\n\nWhy was it considered a product sure?\n\nThis seaweed extract has long been used as a safe one. It is even used to treat bronchitis, tuberculosis, coughs.\n\nThe problem really arises with food products. Indeed, the safest product can become a dangerous agent when consumed in excess.\n\nAction of carrageenan in your body\n\nChemists believe that the consumption of small amounts of carrageenan has no effect on the stomach. However, taken in large amounts and on a regular basis, carrageenan brings more water to the intestines, hence its laxative effect.\n\nSince we consume carrageenan in excess, because it is found in almost all consumer products, certain allergies inevitably result.\n\nAs some organisms are more sensitive than others, the side effects of carrageenan are multiple. Their degree of severity also differs from person to person.\n\nSome people who have suppressed the consumption of frozen meals and the like; have seen their health greatly improved.\n\nCarrageenan has been pointed out in several types of cancers and several digestive problems.\n\nHere is a list of some foods that contain the additive carrageenan:\n\nThe packaged products may not mention the addition of carrageenan or the manufacturers may replace it with locust bean gum recognizing the dangers of this food additive.\n\nIn this case, the best and healthiest solution is to indulge yourself by preparing easy-to-prepare recipes yourself.\n\nIn pharmaceutical and healthcare products\n\nCarrageenan is used in:\n\nIn France carrageenan is even used to treat peptic ulcers\n\nThe debate on the harmful effects of food additives is not new.\n\nMention may be made, for example, of the use of the artificial sweetener splenda of sucralose on human health, an ingredient which may be associated with the disease of diabetes or else leukemia.\n\nRegarding the specific case of carrageenan, the discussion started half a century ago.\n\nThe viewpoint of the Joint FAO / WHO Expert Committee\n\nIn principle, it is a food addition which plays several roles in the consumable products manufactured, in particular as a thickener.\n\nThe additive carrageenan is on the “generally recognized as safe” list (3).\n\nAccording to this recommendation, this ingredient should no longer be included among those used for the preparation of baby food. This is to avoid negative effects in infants.\n\nIndeed, the intestinal wall of children would be the main vulnerable target of this additive.\n\nThat of the International Agency for Research on Cancer\n\nFor the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a branch of the World Health Organization (WHO); Carrageenan is a potential human carcinogen toxicant, particularly that of worsening breast cancer.\n\nThe chemical structure of this ingredient extracted from red algae itself is considered by the medical profession to be a very threatening toxic invader for humans.\n\nMoreover, the latter has always notified for a long time that more than 100 inflammatory human diseases are inseparable from a large daily and repeated consumption of this additive substance.\n\nThus, the consumption of this food addition classified under the code E407 is an essential source of digestive diseases, according to successive studies carried out by scientists.\n\nAs additional information, degraded carrageenans, that is to say in low doses and native are classified 2B called “possibly carcinogenic for humans” and 3 classified “unclassifiable as to its carcinogenic to humans. »With toxic risks and cancer, particularly gastrointestinal by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.\n\nThe point of view of the European Union\n\nThe European Union only authorizes its use at a dose reduced to 300 mg / kg in certain foods for young children such as jams, jellies and marmalades, dehydrated milks, pasteurized creams and fermented cream products.\n\nFrom a general point of view, carrageenans have a direct impact on the reproduction of lymphocytes.\n\nThey disrupt the major role that white blood cells play in destroying foreign bodies such as bacteria or in creating antibodies.\n\nHowever, food carrageenan is found in almost all of human daily recipes called organic and conventional such as desserts, ice creams, creams, condensed milk, sauces, pates and industrial meats or even beer. and sodas.\n\nIn general, the food ingredient E407 can be presented in two aspects: first, there is the one with a higher molecular weight which is most often found in foods.\n\nAs for the second which has the shape of a smaller molecule, it is this which divides the opinions of the ones and the others; and which above all frightens researchers.\n\nA debate for decades\n\nFor the record, it has been demonstrated by the numerous scientific studies which have followed one another, on several occasions in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s that the health danger really exists with the consumption of products derived from carrageenan (4).\n\nA priori, the amount of carrageenan present in many food products is more than sufficient to mainly cause gastrointestinal inflammation, ulceration or even malignant tumors.\n\nThis is the point of view of Dr. Joanne Tobacman MD, associate professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago.\n\nFortunately, this red algae extract is being tested in research today to see how anti-inflammatory drugs work.\n\nIn this line of thought, perhaps it is important to know that carrageenan is not limited to just food additives.\n\nIt is also found in many non-food products such as beauty products, toothpaste, paints or even air fresheners.\n\nThe Institute of Food Control in the United States (the US Food and Drug Administration) recognizes the impact of carrageenan in the various studies carried out.\n\nSince carrageenan has carcinogenic properties, she recommends reducing this substance.\n\nBut the problem is, we don’t really know how much carrageenan we are consuming per day. In fact, this additive is found in all manufactured food products.\n\nMore and more in the United States family reunions are developing to buy their products directly from local farms.\n\nWhich is at least safe and healthy, unlike products sold in supermarkets.\n\nMoreover, several consumer associations have signed millions of petitions so that carrageenan is excluded from the manufacture of products.\n\nAccording to the information in our presence, in 2016 the consumer associations won their case.\n\nUse in the medical field\n\nFrom a health perspective, medical researchers and doctors are currently focusing on collecting data to better understand the link between carrageenan, diet and gastrointestinal disease.\n\nCarrageenan is used today as a microbicide against sexually transmitted infections.\n\nIndeed, research from the American Laboratory of Cellular Oncology at the National Carrageenan Institute in Bethesda, Maryland has shown this antiviral aspect of red algae.\n\nAnother guide to organic and conventional foods with and without the E407 additive is also offered by the Cornucopia Institute.\n\nThe real headache for the majority of consumers is the difficulty in deciphering the names of food additives which are always presented by numerical codes.\n\nIndeed, many people are unable to know the list of ingredients that they swallow.\n\nIt is precisely with a view to helping people better understand the codified figures of finished products, for example, that Gouget Corinne released “Dangerous food additives: the essential guide to stop poisoning yourself” in May 2012.\n\nIn this book, the author who has more than 12 years of experience in the sector of the toxicity of food additives including 2 years devoted to the comparison of various international studies on the field, tells you everything you need to know about unknown ingredients written on the packaging.\n\nThus, there will be no more secrets or at least the mystery of the unsaid labeled on consumable products sold will be dispelled by providing you with this guide book (6).\n\nAs knowing the aliases of food additives is already a step forward with possession of the guide book, it is only natural for consumers who experience symptoms such as abdominal distension, diarrhea or stomach cramps to have the first instinct to stop touching foods that contain carrageenan by reading the labels of manufactured products.\n\nAs it was mentioned before, there are several types of carrageenan. They differ in their properties and their chemical structure, hence the existence of the three mixtures of iota, kappa and lambda.\n\nIn general, the first two genera iota and kappa are the most used in cooking recipes. In any case, the recommended limit dose for each use is 2 to 10 grams per kilo.\n\nFrom this perspective, one of the aspects of this food additive derived from red algae is that it is insoluble in cold water.\n\nTo make the dispersion of carrageenans easy, it is recommended to dissolve this ingredient in a small volume of boiling water and then transfer it before using them in the culinary preparation.\n\nIn addition, another very effective trick to control the powder of the E407 in fine and gradual rain is the use of a mixture by hand.\n\nIt would be wise for everyone who suffers from such symptoms to avoid the diet that has any connection with the consumption of this ingredient from red algae.\n\nAs we advised you above, read the labels of the products carefully before buying them. Of course, it’s not easy to spend hours in supermarkets.\n\nYou can do this online from the comfort of your room. Also ask the manager of the supermarkets you frequent for the listing of the products you buy.\n\nIt is with great pleasure that we unveiled the dangers of carrageenan, this food additive.\n\n2021-10-15\nPrevious Post: 15 natural and powerful laxatives against constipation\nNext Post: The slimming and sweat belt: is it really effective?

But there’s much more to the new law, as Marcia D. Greenburger, founder and co-president of the National Women’s Law Center points out:\n\n“The health care industry and health care insurance in general has been riddled with the most discriminatory and unfair practices to women. This law is a giant leap forward to dismantling the unfairness that has been a part of the system.”\n\nHere are ten things in the Affordable Care Act that will help end discrimination and improve women’s health. We bet you haven’t heard of most of them.\n\nBefore the Affordable Care Act, insurers in most states could charge women more than men for the exact same coverage (even for policies that didn’t include maternity care)– a practice called “gender rating.”\n\n“Gender rating has taken a particular toll on smaller or midsize businesses with many women, like home-health care, child care and nonprofits. As a result, some businesses have been unable to offer health coverage or have been able to afford it only by using plans with very high deductibles.”\n\nStarting in 2014, insurance companies will no longer be able to charge women more than men.\n\nA number of the “pre-existing conditions” insurers used to deny coverage were specific to women:\n\nAdvocates for women’s health said one of the new law’s benefits would be to ban the denial of health coverage to women who have had a prior Caesarean section or been victims of domestic violence. Some companies providing individual policies have refused coverage in those circumstances, regarding Caesareans or beatings as pre-existing conditions that were likely to be predictors of higher expenses in the future.\n\nThe Times article cites the example of one woman who was denied coverage because she had a medically mandated C-section. The insurance company explained in a letter that if she had been “sterilized” she would have been eligible for coverage.\n\nStarting in 2014, insurers can no longer deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.\n\n3. Insurance companies have to include maternity coverage\n\nOften this was excluded in individual policies. Now it is considered an “essential health benefit.”\n\nThe Affordable Care Act says that preventative services deemed “highly effective” by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force have to be covered without a copay or deductible. These included a number of services particularly important for women:",
null,
"Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Maryland) also pushed for an amendment instructing the Dept. of Health and Human Services to look into additional preventive services that women might need, based on recommendations from the nonpartisan Institute of Medicine. Those services, which insurers also have to provide for free starting this August, include:\n\nIt’s especially important that these services will be covered without a copay or deductible, since women are more likely to be low income, get paid less for the same work as men, and are more likely to report cost as a barrier to care:",
null,
"Working mothers have had to carefully tailor their schedules so that they can pump milk in the middle of the day, and avoid stares when they put bottles in the communal refrigerators. Some have to use a bathroom stall to pump milk, as there is no other space available.\n\nNursing mothers will now get additional support, thanks to page 1239 of the health care bill that President Obama recently signed into law. It requires employers to provide “a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.” Only companies with less than 50 employees can claim it’s an undue hardship.\n\nBesides requiring large employers to provide a place where nursing mothers can express breast milk, the new law also says that employers have to provide a reasonable break time to do so.\n\nThe new law provides grants to local community organizations, hospitals and even state or local governments to provide education and services for the diagnosis and management of postpartum depression. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), who sponsored the bill, which was added to the Affordable Care Act, has more information on his website.\n\n7. Changes to Medicaid to benefit women\n\nMedicaid covers more than 4o% of all births nationwide, but many women lose coverage after having the baby, because Medicaid’s post-pregnancy income guidelines are much more restrictive.",
null,
"Currently, pregnant women are eligible if they make up to 185% of the federal poverty line (FPL), but most working parents have to make less than 64% of FPL to qualify. Under the new law anyone making less than 138% of FPL will be eligible for Medicaid, allowing many low income mothers to maintain their coverage after giving birth.",
null,
"Under the new law 100% of nurse midwife services will be covered under Medicare. It may not sound like a big deal since Medicare covers very few births, but the Medicare payment schedule is used by many insurers and state Medicaid programs to determine what services they’ll cover. The new law also guarantees that Medicaid will cover services provided by free-standing birth centers.\n\nThe Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program will provide $1.5 billion in grants to states to develop home-visitation programs for pregnant women and families with young children. Through these programs, nurses, social workers, or other professionals will meet with at-risk families in their homes and connect them to needed services like health care, developmental services for children, early education, parenting skills, child abuse prevention, and nutrition education or assistance.\n\nAccording to a statement from the Department of Health and Human Services, the program is based upon “strong research evidence that these programs can improve outcomes for children and families and also yield Medicaid savings by reducing preterm births and the need for emergency room visits.”\n\nFor way more information on the benefits of home-visitation programs, the Center for American Progress has a great (and thorough) brief on the issue.\n\nThe new law formally establishes Offices on Women’s Health in major federal agencies, including Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control, and the FDA among others.\n\nThe law also creates a National Women’s Health Information Center to facilitate exchange of information regarding health promotion, prevention, major advances in research, and other relevant developments in women’s health.\n\n[Note on Sources: Graphs and charts were taken from Kaiser Family Foundation’s issue brief (PDF) and multimedia tutorial on the Impact of Health Reform on Women’s Access to Coverage and Care.]\n\nNext post: Story of the week: The Latest “Doc Fix”"

"As the United States celebrates equal pay day, a new study finds that there are a few occupations that still lag behind in gender wage equality. Veuer’s Natasha Abellard has the story.\n\nThe arts and crafts chain announced the upcoming pay increase in a news release Monday, a week after calls for a consumer boycott over a viral photo of a display of decorative letters arranged to read “USA Vote Trump” and the caption “In a Hobby Lobby.”\n\nThe chain said it was one of the first retailers to establish a nationwide minimum hourly wage “well above the federal minimum wage and has since raised its minimum wages ten times over the last eleven years.”\n\nIn 2014, it raised its full-time minimum wage to $15 in 2014 “well before it became fashionable with other retailers.”\n\nTarget raised the minimum wage for all of its U.S. hourly employees to $15 an hour in July.\n\n“We have always worked hard to be a retail leader when it comes to taking care of our people,” Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green said in the release. “From closing our stores on Sundays and at 8 p.m. the rest of the week, to providing some of the best pay and benefits in the retail industry, we are thankful that we are able to share our success with our valued employees and provide time for rest, family and worship.”\n\n“Because this year has presented so many challenges to our employees, we are very happy that we are able to provide pay increases to thousands of our associates before the Christmas season,” Green said.\n\nHobby Lobby, which was founded in 1972, is no stranger to controversy or boycotts.\n\nIn 2014, Hobby Lobby won a Supreme Court case that allowed them to deny their employees access to birth control, saying it conflicted with religious beliefs.\n\nIn April, the chain was reportedly keeping some of its stores open in defiance of state shelter-in-place orders while some locations were being forced to close amid the COVID-19 pandemic."

"After the housing bubble burst there was sympathy for first-time home-buyers who had been allured in by the easy loans and rising home prices and ended up in inconvenience. However, investors in single family homes came to be castigated as ‘flippers’, ‘suckers’, and worse. They had played a significant job in creating the air pocket, signing contracts, often on various homes, making virtually no initial installments, not intending to ever live in or even lease the homes, yet to simply flip them for a speedy profit. Builders could hardly stay aware of demand for some time, yet ended up with wastelands of partially finished developments and apartment suite projects, especially in the sun-belt states. That ‘investor’ activity resulted in a great part of the subsequent heap up of defaulted mortgages, foreclosed properties, and record high inventory of unsold homes that has had the housing industry in a five-year depression.",
null,
"Be that as it may, for the past year, real estate speculators and investors have been playing a perhaps brave job by diving back in on expectation that the real estate market is bottoming. They may even be single-handedly creating the conditions themselves that have them optimistic. Ongoing housing reports have been encouraging. Although home sales stalled again in June, on average they’ve been rising for most of the year. Home prices have been inching up. Foreclosures are down fairly sharply. The inventory of unsold homes has dropped dramatically. The ongoing business report showed that homebuilders added 5,800 workers in July. That is about the same number of month to month hires they were adding during the air pocket years of 2005 and 2006.\n\nThe interesting and perhaps unnoticed aspect of all this is that it is investors and speculators who have been providing a great part of the activity for over a year now and moving to a new location. An April report from the National Association of Realtors showed that the quantity of proprietor involved homes fell 15.5% last year, while the quantity of investor-claimed homes surged 64.5%. That situation has continued, with sales reports this year showing that 20% to 25% of announced month to month sales of both new and existing homes have been to bottom-fishing investors, swooping in to purchase at what they hope to be low prices. The NAR reports that 41% of investment buyers purchased more than one property, nearly half say they intend to purchase another property within two years, and they intend to hold the properties for an average of five years.",

"With all the “halftime reports flying around on how commodities fared in the first half of 2011, we thought we’d weigh in and at least try to sort out what’s what both on metals fundamentals or speculative market trends. While we’re not setting out to provide an absolutely comprehensive commodity report here, we’ll try to hit a few past highlights/lowlights and a few signals pointing to future activity.\n\nA number of folks have provided overviews of the first half of the year. From an investment side, ETF Securities put in its two cents on what happened to the commodities market in the past six months, which can be summed up by what senior analyst Daniel Wills had to say on the industrial metal sphere.\n\n“Of all the commodity groupings, industrial metals were the hardest hit by the succession of shocks we’ve seen in terms of macroeconomic uncertainties, he said during a conference call. “The combination of the higher energy prices, Japan damage to the supply chain, near term and spillover worries regarding European debt has led industrial metals substantially lower, he continued.\n\nBut does investment activity reflect the fundamental structure of metals supply and demand? And will the drops in industrial metal portfolios necessarily mean a falloff in metal prices?\n\nLikely not, if we’re to look at a few key metals and indicators.\n\nLet’s first glance at Dr. Copper, the metal that often indicates where the markets are headed essentially, whether headaches or sighs of relief could be in store. To put things in perspective, here’s a graph courtesy of John Gross, a leading independent copper analyst:",
null,
"To put it simply, fundamentals are still supporting copper, as inventories remain low. Copper reached an all-time high in 2011, breaking the $10,000/ton barrier. Developing world demand should buoy the copper price well into the second half of 2011, as Eurozone worries and the US debt crisis should only temporarily cause investors to hiccup and lower the copper price.\n\nSome analysts such as Benjamin Westmore, a commodity economist at National Australia Bank, disagree. “With current base metal prices already reflecting strong growth prospects for the emerging economies, we expect macroeconomic developments in the US and euro area to be increasingly important,” he was quoted by Reuters as saying.\n\nHowever, a statistic may be worth many an analyst’s words: China’s copper imports, after two months of decline, rose again by 9.9 percent in June. While we’re by no means super-bullish, copper shouldn’t be tanking anytime soon if at all.\n\nFor the continued commodity outlook, check in later for Part Two."

"(Minghui.org) A 38-year-old man in Jilin City, Jilin Province, is still reeling from the trauma he suffered during his imprisonment more than two years after he was released.\n\nMr. Liu Chengda was last arrested on May 16, 2012, for refusing to renounce Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline being persecuted by the Chinese communist regime. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison five months later. Prior to that, he had been given one year of forced labor in 2001 and five years in jail in 2007 for refusing to renounce his faith.",
null,
"Mr. Liu's latest arrest took place in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, where he was doing odd jobs to make a living. He was sent to Hangzhou Prison after he was convicted.\n\nThe guards at Hangzhou Prison tried hard to make Mr. Liu give up his belief in Falun Gong. He was forced to read and watch Falun Gong-defaming materials every day. He had to write down his thoughts afterward. He was often forced to stand still from dawn to dusk. Any slight movement would invite verbal abuse and beatings from inmates assigned to watch him.\n\nMr. Liu still refused to renounce his faith. The guards intensified their abuse and even threatened to arrest his elderly mother again. Mr. Liu's mother is also a Falun Gong practitioner who has been repeatedly arrested. She has served a total of 5.5 years in prison for her faith.\n\nThe physical torture and psychological manipulation became unbearable, and he eventually wrote a statement against his will to renounce Falun Gong.\n\nHe was released ahead of schedule in late 2015, but his family wasn't informed of his early release. Several agents from the Jilin City 610 Office flew to Hangzhou to pick him up. The 610 Office is an extra-legal agency tasked with eradicating Falun Gong and has the power to override the judicial system.\n\nThe agents lied, claiming that they had paid for Mr. Liu's flight ticket and would have to be reimbursed. Mr. Liu told them that the prison had bought his ticket and that he still had the receipt. The agents gave up their attempt to extort money from him, but they kept harassing him at home from time to time.\n\nEvery official visit and threat by the local authorities evoked Mr. Liu's memories of his imprisonment. He hasn't been able to live a normal life since his release more than two years ago.\n\nMr. Liu Chengda Arrested Again Just One Year after Being Released from Jail"

"Joggling across the Brooklyn Bridge\n\nLast week, I joggled across the Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn for the first time on a slightly warm, sunny day. I didn’t blog about this earlier because I was hoping some good photos that were taken that day(not by me, but by the many people on the bridge) would surface, but unfortunately this hasn’t happened.\n\nSince the span of the Brooklyn Bridge is a little over 1.1 miles, this is by no means a great athletic achievement, though it felt amazing since this was the first time I joggled from one New York City borough to another. The views and the crowd support were priceless. I’m sure other jogglers have done this before.\n\nI kept thinking I was going to drop the balls due to the crowds, the cyclists, the noise from the cars, the occasional beautiful woman, and the temptation to keep spinning(I did this a few times) around to see the Manhattan skyline, but no, I didn’t drop any of the balls even once. The incline toward the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge isn’t much of a challenge if you’re an experienced runner, though it did tire me a little. The wind was light to moderate.\n\nI mostly ran on the bike path(or the line between the bike path and pedestrian path) of the walkway, since this was mostly clear, while the path for pedestrians was very crowded. I had to maneuver my way around a lot of tourists and occasionally some slow cyclists on the bike path, shocking many people as I zoomed by, but eventually made it to downtown Brooklyn in one piece where I took a break due to all the traffic and because my throat suddenly became very sore. It may have been due to all the traffic on the bridge and because my lungs aren’t used to running in the city(I mostly joggle in the suburbs or wilderness areas). On the bridge I only had to slow down just twice due to the crowds, but did my usual speed almost the entire way across.\n\nI resumed joggling along the Brooklyn waterfront, and almost fell in the water a few times. You can get amazing views of the lower Manhattan skyline from here, especially the new Freedom Tower, which is nearly completed. This is the skyscraper that is on the former World Trade Center site, so it’s nice to see we have made a comeback from that dark, horrific day on september 11, 2001. I mostly enjoyed running around there, in spite of my throat, and memories of that day.\n\nAfter another short break, in which I just power-walked instead of running or joggling, my throat felt better. I made my way along Atlantic avenue and many side streets to Parkslope and then to Prospect Park, joggling about half way there, dropping the balls a couple of times, coughing occasionally, then taking a few water breaks since I was sweating a lot and to help relieve my scratchy throat.\n\nProspect Park is basically Brooklyn’s Central Park, and I joggled around the entire main running path which forms a big circle around the entire park, then had lunch in a shady spot. After this, I explored Parkslope for a bit before heading home. Like Central Park, Prospect Park is full of runners and cyclists(and weirdos and muggers), including some barefoot runners, more than I see up in the suburbs. Many people were amazed by the joggling, especially because I was running faster than usual, though it isn’t all that new to Brooklyn or New York City. The kids down there love it, and I loved their Brooklyn accents.\n\nSo yes, you can joggle across the Brooklyn Bridge if you’re an experienced joggler, and it is not too crowded. It is likely much easier on a weekday(I did this on a thursday) than during the weekend. And Parkslope looks like a great neighborhood to be a vegan. The sore throat was likely due to pollution, and was gone after a few days. Luckily, it didn’t interfere with my running all that much while I had it.\n\nRussian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord",
null,
"One of the largest and grandest of Orthodox churches in New York City is the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord. Although I am not an Orthodox Christian, I can admire the ancient architecture of this Cathedral, as if it was an over-sized gift from Russia. While it looks like a church in Russia, or even Ukraine, it is located at 228 N 12th Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was built in 1921. The style of the cathedral is pretty typical of Russian Orthodox churches, mixing Byzantine and ancient Slavic architecture, most notably the characteristic onion dome.\n\nIn fact, the Cathedral looks so Russian, I probably could have fooled some of the people reading this into thinking I just got back from Russia. Williamsburg, Brooklyn is just across the east river from Manhattan, so it’s a short subway ride away, or if you prefer, you can walk across the Brooklyn, Manhattan, or Williamsburg bridge. Or if you’re a good swimmer, just use the river.\n\nIn recent years, Williamsburg, and the neighborhoods surrounding it have been on the rebound both economically and culturally, with hipsters, yuppies, and bohemians flooding into these formerly rundown industrial areas. The Cathedral is situated at the border between Williamsburg and Greenpoint, which is often called “Little Poland” because of the large Polish Catholic community in the neighborhood(there are many Slavic peoples in the area, but Poles are the largest group). Williamsburg, on the other hand, has a large Orthodox Jewish community as well as a very ethnically mixed area with a thriving arts and music scene, which extends into Greenpoint. Greenpoint also has a growing Hispanic community.\n\nA little further south, the neighborhood of Parkslope, which is adjacent to Prospect Park, also has a thriving arts scene, but is more upscale. In spite of resistance from long-time residents, who tend to be opposed to the construction of condos, Parkslope has become very “yuppified” in recent years, feeling more like Manhattan than Brooklyn in many ways.\n\nIncreasingly, many vegan and vegetarian restaurants have been sprouting up like alfalfa sprouts in the neighborhood, along with many Asian restaurants. Prospect Park is basically Brooklyn’s version of Manhattan’s central park, so it’s a terrific place to joggle or for bird-watching. Some areas of the park have been set aside for reforestation and are off-limits to homo sapiens, but not to squirrels or birds. The neighborhoods to the east of the park suffer from a lot of violent crime which sometimes spills over into the park, so be careful.\n\nThere is so much more to discover in Brooklyn, this is just a small slice of it."

"Their 2008 self-titled album which preceded ‘Two Worlds’ showed great promise as the young band showed themselves to be very capable song writers and musicians who took strong influences from 90’s ‘emo’ and indie and made them their own. However, their debut was far from flawless: occasionally tainted with bewildering lyricism, lazy vocals and sub-standard instrumental sections – though admittedly this may have been down to limited production values. Regardless of such flaws, ‘Tigers Jaw’ was still a thoroughly enjoyable album and its youthful haphazardness made for a very exciting listen."

"Tehran set for yet another mayor amid Reformist infighting\n\nTehran is set to get yet another mayor amid ongoing infighting among the Reformists. The question is whether the next internal mayoral vote will put an end to the bickering.",
null,
"A general view of the Damavand summit northeast of Tehran, Iran, May 19, 2006. - REUTERS/Morteza Nikoubazl/File Photo\n\nMembers of the Tehran City Council will soon be choosing the Iranian capital’s third mayor in less than 18 months. This comes as political infighting between Reformist groups is on the rise, making the public lose hope in the competency of the camp.\n\nMohammad Ali Najafi, who became mayor after Reformists swept the city council elections in May 2017, resigned March 14 citing health concerns. Najafi was succeeded by Samiollah Hosseini Makarem, who became the caretaker for a month. Makarem was in turn replaced by Mohammad Ali Afshani in May. Now he is also packing his suitcase earlier than expected, though for different reasons.\n\nAfshani, 59, is subject to a newly adopted law that bans the re-employment of retired public employees for governmental positions. The law took force in mid-September after being approved by the Guardian Council. The only exceptions to the re-hiring ban are the heads of the three branches of government (executive, legislative and judicial), first vice president, deputy speakers of parliament, members of the Guardian Council, ministers, legislators and vice presidents.\n\nAfshani took early retirement three years ago, after 27 years of public service. In July 2015, however, he was again given a government position and appointed as governor of Fars province. Some council members, who like Afshani belong to the National Trust Party, have been lobbying parliament to exclude him from the banned list. However, they have not been successful, and it seems as if Afshani must step down from his post.\n\nThis has revitalized the continuous infighting in the incumbent 21-member council, whose members are all Reformist — the outcome of an unprecedented electoral victory last year, which was also accompanied by some challenges. Indeed, the absence of any rivals on the stage has been one such challenge, which has resulted in the drawing of lines within the Reformist camp.\n\nCouncil Chairman Mohsen Hashemi is one example of this internal division. Hashemi, who has always been an option for the post of mayor, was unable to compete against Najafi and Afshani due to Reformist opposition and especially that of the Union of Islamic Iran People Party (UIIPP). In the council’s internal mayoral polls since the 2017 elections, Hashemi has withdrawn his own candidacy after council members and outside Reformists insisted that no one should leave a council seat — even for the mayorship — since this would open the door for a conservative to break the Reformist monopoly over all seats.\n\nTo better understand the political infighting, one must look at the parties within the council. Overall, the city council is composed of three main Reformist parties. However, on closer inspection, this 21-member group can be divided into five categories. This includes the UIIPP, Executives of Construction Party, National Trust Party, independents and lone representatives of smaller factions. The UIIPP, together with the independent members, generally make up the strongest group in the council. These are followed by the Executives of Construction Party, which is more affiliated with the moderates and, later, former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Finally, there is the National Trust Party, led by opposition leader Mehdi Karroubi, which has the lowest membership in the council.\n\nDuring the past 18 months, Tehran has had a mayor from the Executives of Construction Party, namely Najafi, and a mayor from the National Trust Party, Afshani. The UIIPP, while having the most members, has not been successful in securing the mayorship — perhaps due to its lack of experience and the influence of the Executives of Construction Party.\n\nThe Executives of Construction Party has in both internal mayoral polls over the past 18 months not been shy in expressing its interest in Mohsen Hashemi as mayor and has worked hard to make this happen. However, the UIIPP’s strong opposition has prevented Hashemi from achieving his long-time dream. This opposition has in the past led to the Executives of Construction Party stepping back from their candidate but at the same time gaining more power in the negotiations over who ought to be mayor.\n\nSaeed Laylaz, deputy secretary-general of the Executives of Construction Party, told Al-Monitor, “We thought Hashemi was an ideal choice for mayor from the start. But some friends did not accept this, and the result was that we must wait for the election of a third mayor in less than two years.”\n\nThe ongoing instability resulting from infighting does not bring back good memories for those who support the Reformists. Similar internal bickering and discussions were also seen in the first city council, back in February 1999, a period when Reformists were also in the majority. Those disputes led to very low voter turnout in the 2003 elections and resulted in the Principlists finding their way to the council, who then chose Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, an unknown politician at the time, as Tehran’s mayor.\n\nWith the resignation of Afshani around the corner, Tehran’s residents are once again witnessing political fighting among the Reformists as they elect yet another mayor. But there may be change on the horizon. Despite the opposition he is facing, Hashemi may face a better chance of victory this time around. Indeed, the reason for this is that the UIIPP is being blamed more than any other party for the ongoing instability due to its opposition to Hashemi."

"It's a great time to be a John Sturges fan. At the time of this writing, many of the director's films are being restored and given high definition and Ultra HD upgrades from the previous DVD editions, offering the best home media presentations to date for modern film fans. The last few years alone have seen the restorations of Underwater!, Last Train from Gun Hill, Bad Day At Black Rock, and The Great Escape, with even more planned for the coming months. There's never been a better time for cinephiles to discover or re-evaluate the work of an under-praised filmmaker who may not have had a particular auteur style, but was a master all the same. Now the preservationists at The Film Detective have added another film from the Sturgis library to our shelves: 1950's The Capture.",
null,
"The Capture is a wonderful film that plays to the strengths of its director and defies categorization by equally serving elements of crime, romance, western, and noir. The story begins with an injured man (Lew Ayres) on the run from the authorities in the Mexican wilderness. He happens upon a mission where he meets a priest (Victor Jory) who takes him in and gives him shelter. As Ayres begins to tell the story of how he came to be wounded and on the run, we flash back and learn that he was working at an oil field that had been robbed of their payroll. Tasked with finding the thief, he sets off alone as a one-man posse where he happens upon a solitary traveler, who he believes is the bandit. Things escalate too quickly and he pulls the trigger, knowing in his heart that he shot too soon. Haunted by his mistake, he hops on a train headed anywhere out of town and ends up working at the ranch belonging to the widow (Teresa Wright) of the man he killed. Things get even more complicated when he discovers that he may have shot the wrong man. As more bodies start to stack up, can he prove that he's not a murderer?",
null,
"At its core, this RKO production is a western, but placed in a 1950 contemporary setting with cars and modern conveniences. This predates Sturges' Bad Day At Black Rock, which also presents a traditional western tale played out against the then-modern setting of the mid-century west. The harsh and unforgiving land takes a physical and mental toll on our characters and also provides a true sense of remoteness that mirrors their isolation. Noir elements further add to the genre movie vibe: the flashback device is a hallmark of many crime films and detective tales, and a very noir-like narration from Ayres is steeped in hard-boiled dialogue, delivered with a gritty rasp that speaks to too many cigarettes and too much tequila.",
null,
"Lew Ayres delivers a solid performance as a good man who made a mistake that may cost him everything, but who is also strong enough to fight for survival. Teresa Wright is perhaps the real star here as the angry widow of a man that she never really connected with. There are different levels at work in her portrayal, with bitterness, hurt, pride, strength and intrigue bubbling beneath her stoic exterior. It's a remarkable role from an actress who had a remarkable career. The thing that I love about lower-budget character pieces such as this one is the nuance at play underneath the story. The people are human and fallible, and they make the same mistakes that we would were we in their shoes, which leads to an empathy that makes detached viewing nearly impossible. These aren't larger-than-life superheroes or even A-list stars with square jaws and impossible beauty; no, they're real people who represent us.",
null,
"The script was written by Teresa Wright's husband, novelist and screenwriter Niven Busch, adapting his own book for this big-screen yarn. Busch had started in Hollywood as a screenwriter during the Pre-Code days, and it seems to me as if the dusty, trail-worn dialogue of The Capture is the distant, more experienced offspring of the staccato, machine-gun-like discourse of the thirties. By the early forties, Busch was also writing novels like Duel in the Sun, which was adapted into a 1946 movie from David O. Selznick and which has been nicknamed Lust in the Dust. Teresa Wright and Niven Busch were married for a decade and split in 1952, meaning this film comes near the end of their relationship. Does that real-life behind-the-scenes disintegration play into Wright's on-screen performance?",
null,
"The Capture now arrives on Blu-ray from The Film Detective and results are impressive, though not flawless. The Film Detective specializes in providing the absolute best scans possible for films that largely exist within the public domain. As a consequence to public domain status, existing elements have often not been kept in the best condition and this is no exception. Much of the film looks wonderful with crisp contrast and nice grain structure, but a reel near the last quarter of the film bears a faint cross-hatch pattern that almost looks like the film is being projected onto graphing paper. I don't want to overplay this imperfection because the movie looks miles and miles better than any other presentation I've seen to date. Public domain films are often circulated in terrible quality: video tape dupes of 16mm sources, sometimes three or four generations removed from their original source elements. While perhaps not reference quality, this restoration is, in all likelihood, the best this movie is ever going to look and all reasonable expectations should be met. The new disc is most welcome and comes highly recommended not just for the new transfer, but for the wonderful new supplements, as well.",
null,
"Those supplements include a brand new audio commentary by author/screenwriter/film historian C. Courtney Joyner and western historian Henry Parke. The track is conversational, but extremely informative as both speakers know western films (and film in general) like the back of their hand. Facts and tidbits abound, but the track never feels daunting or unapproachable. Writer Don Stradley contributes to the three remaining features: Teresa Wright: The Actress next Door is roughly four minutes long and offers a brief overview of the leading lady's career. John Sturges: Man of Action is another brief (less than five minutes) look behind the scenes, this time focusing on the director and his connection to action as evidenced by Bad Day At Black Rock, The Magnificent Seven, Joe Kidd, and The Eagle Has Landed. Finally, Stradley contributes an intriguing and detailed ten-page written essay entitled Not Quite Picture Perfect: The Doomed Marriage of Teresa Wright and Niven Busch. The relationship drama on screen only hinted at the reality of Teresa Wright's love life.\n\nWhile The Capture is not a masterpiece in the same category as the director's bigger successes, it certainly is a very well-made and capable movie from a director who is sometimes overlooked and said to lack a distinct style. I'd argue against that notion and once again champion the economy of Sturges and the sense of urgency that so many of his films convey. This is not an action-packed movie, but the pacing of the film is brisk and there's absolutely nothing here that slows down the plot or feels unnecessary. My favorite Sturges films are the ones that are smaller in scope. In contrast to the grandiosity of The Great Escape, I believe that when Sturges hones in on just one or two people caught in a whirlwind of circumstances that threaten their survival, something really special happens on the screen. The Film Detective continues to provide an excellent service to film fans who seek these movies in the best possible quality with lots of vital supplemental features and an affordable (currently less than $17) price."
