Report Raps Army For Not Monitoring Psychiatric Medication Use
By Lisa Chedekel | January 8, 2016
The Army is not properly monitoring the prescribing of medications to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in active-duty soldiers to ensure that antipsychotics and sedatives are not being used, a new government report says. The report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommends that the Secretary of Defense direct the Army to monitor prescribing practices in order to detect medications that are discouraged under PTSD treatment guidelines. Those guidelines caution against the use of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines, a class of sedatives, because of their ineffectiveness and potential risk. “The Army does not monitor the prescribing of medications to treat PTSD on an ongoing basis,” says the report, led by the GAO’s director of health care, Debra Draper. “Without such monitoring, the Army may be unable to identify and address practices that are inconsistent with the guideline.”
The Department of Defense did not dispute the GAO recommendations, but argued that it has worked to reduce antipsychotic prescribing.

Xbox Game Pass for PC Leaves Beta Soon, Subscription Fee Doubles
September 10, 2020 admin PC Games 0
September 10, 2020 2:43 PM EST
Xbox Game Pass for PC will be available for $9.99 per month as of next week as it leaves the beta phase.
Over a year after launching Xbox Game Pass on PC, the service will finally leave the beta phase on Windows 10 next week, which means the subscription fee will increase to $9.99 per month, equal to the monthly price of the service’s console version.
Xbox Game Pass for PC has been evolving at a great pace similar to the service’s console version. Lacking some features on PC forced Microsoft to run the service in the Beta phase for the first year, however, as of next week, Game Pass will be available as a full and complete service on Windows 10. It will also cost $9.99 per month instead of the previous fee which was $4.99 per month. That being said, you can still renew your subscription for $4.99 until the next week.
We’re retiring the introductory price on the 17th, but if you’re already a member, you’ll pay the same rate through the next billing cycle. look out for a notification on the 17th to get more details
— Xbox Game Pass For PC (@XboxGamePassPC) September 9, 2020
Xbox Game Pass is surely a life savior for many Xbox and PC players all over the world. Bringing over 100 games for only $9.99 per month means a lot to gamers and that’s why the service has reached unexpected popularity among the Xbox Ecosystem users. The service was first launched on Xbox One with some brilliant triple-A titles while adding more games into the library, including all the products from first-party developers at launch.
With the service growing over the following months and years, Microsoft has decided to bring it over to PC while announcing a new subscription plan, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, for those who would like to use the service on both platforms while getting an Xbox Live Gold subscription as well. Microsoft then continued evolving the Ultimate version of the service by adding new features such as xCloud subscription.
Recently, it was officially revealed that Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to get all the games available via EA Play with no additional cost on both Xbox One and PC.

A Juror’s Notes on the Boston Massacre Trial
Violence Beyond King Street on the Fifth of March
By modern standards, the judges overseeing the trial of the soldiers for the Boston Massacre should have limited the testimony to what happened in King Street or specifically involved the defendants.
However, prosecutors Robert Treat Paine and Samuel Quincy wanted to call witnesses to violence and threats from other soldiers that night. Or as acting governor Thomas Hutchinson later wrote: “The Counsel for the Crown urged to be admitted to prove the threats &ct. of the Soldiers preceding the Action.”
The judges were dubious, but defense attorneys John Adams and Josiah Quincy, Jr., were agreeable as long as they had the same leeway to introduce testimony about violence and threats by civilians.
That tactic actually split the defense team, again according to Hutchinson. Robert Auchmuty, senior attorney for Capt. Thomas Preston and a strong advocate for the Crown in other respects, didn’t like letting people testify about aggressive soldiers, but he wasn’t arguing this case.
Adams himself reportedly didn’t want to put too much testimony about aggressive townspeople on record. Hutchinson stated:
Quincy one of the Counsel for the prisoners was for giving very large Evidence against the Inhabitants to prove a premeditated design to drive out the Soldiers & frequent abuse as well as threats Adams was against it & [Sampson Salter] Blowers who acted as an Attony to prepare the Evidence told me that Adams said if they would go on with such Witnesses who only served to set the Town in a bad light he would leave the cause & not say a word more. So that a stop was put & many witnesses were not brought who otherwise would have been.
Some supporters of the Crown even feared Adams was sabotaging the soldiers’ case, but Hutchinson declined to replace him “as it would have been extremely irregular” and Auchmuty wasn’t ready to step in.
As a result, we have records from the trial of confrontations elsewhere in town that night. For instance, Sgt. William Davis of the 14th Regiment described running into a crowd he estimated as about 200 people near Wentworth’s wharf:
I saw no soldier in the street; I heard them saying damn the dogs knock them down, we will knock down the first officer, or bloody backed rascal we shall meet this night; some of them then said they would go to the southward, and join some of their friends there, and attack the damned scoundrels, and drive them out of the town, for they had no business here.
Apprehending danger if I should be in my regimentals, I went into a house at the North end and changed my dress, and in my return from the North-end, about nine, coming near Dock square, I heard a great noise a whistling and rattling of wood; I came near the Market place, and saw a great number of people there, knocking against the posts, and tearing up the stalls, saying damn the lobsters, where are they now; I heard several voices, some said let us kill that damned scoundrel of a Sentry, and then attack the Main guard; some said, let us go to Smith’s barracks [also called Murray’s barracks], others said let us go to the rope-walks;
they divided: The largest number went up Royal-exchange-lane, and another party up Fitch’s alley, and the rest through the main street, up Cornhill. I passed by the Golden-Ball, I saw no person there but a woman, persuading a man to stay at home; he said he would not, he would go amongst them, if he lost his life by it. . . .
It was past nine, for I heard bells ring before. One of them was loading his piece by Oliver’s dock, he said he would do for some of these scoundrels that night.
John Cox, brick-layer, testified to a different scene in the South End:
I saw three soldiers, two belonging to the Neck, and one to the Main Guard, by Liberty-tree, I was at Mr. [John] Gore [Jr.]’s shop opposite the Tree; one said to the other, bring half your guard, and we will bring half ours, and we will blow up this damned pole; I said, so sure as you offer ye scoundrels to blow up that pole, you will have your brains blown out.
Soldiers in New York had blown up the Liberty Pole there a few weeks earlier, prompting bigger fights.
Gregory Townshend, merchant:
Just after the bell rung nine, hearing the bell ring again, I went out thinking it was fire; I saw numbers of people running from the South-end some had buckets, the principal number had clubs in their hands. I asked where is the fire, I received for answer, at the Rope-walks and in King street. Numbers were coming with buckets, and the rest said Damn your bloods do not bring buckets, bring clubs.
Henry Bass, another merchant—and a member of the Loyall Nine:
I went down the main-street, and coming near Boylston’s alley, I saw a number of boys and children from twelve to fifteen years old, betwixt Mr. [William?] Jackson’s and the alley; some of them had walking canes. A number of soldiers, I think four, sallied out of the alley. . . .
I took the soldiers for grenadiers, all of them had cutlasses drawn. . . . They came out of the alley, and I imagine from the barracks; they fell on these boys, and every body else that came in their way, they struck them; they followed me and almost over took me, I had the advantage of them and run as far as Col. [Joseph] Jackson’s, there I made a stand, they came down as far as the stone shop. . . .
these lads came down, some of them came to the Market square, one got a stave, others pieces of pine, they were very small, I do not know whether any of the lads were cut. I turned and then saw an oyster-man, who said to me, damn it here is what I have got by going up; (showing his shoulder wounded) I put my finger into the wound and blooded it very much.
Each legal team thus tried to portray the other side as needlessly aggressive and their own clients as responding with reasonable force. Of course, that was the problem in the first place.
Labels: Boston Massacre, British soldiers, Gregory Townshend, Henry Bass, John Adams, John Cox, Josiah Quincy, law, riots, Robert Auchmuty, Sampson Salter Blowers, Samuel Quincy, sestercentennial events, Thomas Hutchinson
David Churchill Barrow said...
It is surprising John Adams agreed to allow this usually inadmissible testimony. As you point out, he was opposed to introducing quid pro quo testimony implicating the town at large. I suspect some sort of accord was reached with Sam Adams, though how explicit it was no one knows, that the Sons of Liberty would behave themselves during the trials of the soldiers, provided the town was not generally implicated by defense counsel. Though Sam Adams grumbled about the out-of-town jurors and other matters (sending notes to Paine whining about this and that) none of the bully boy tactics employed during Richardson’s trial occurred. The gallery was on its best behavior.

What is bitcoin halving, should I worry about it?
May 5, 2020 By Branzel
Bitcoin Halving. Source: Xataka
“Oh no bitcoin halving is coming, what I going to do, oh no Bitcoin will die” – A friend of my, on these days.
What is Bitcoin halving?
My friend, I know you are a little bit worried about these buzzwords, I want to tell some things. Do you have bitcoin? If your answer was yes so do not worry all is going to be ok, although if your answer was no, you do not have to worry either. Bitcoin halving is an important, exciting, and interesting event, here you have some definitions:
A halving – sometimes referred to as halvening – is a planned reduction in rewards miners receive (the term is mentioned in Bitcoin’s code). Halvings happen once every four years or so – more precisely, every 210,000 blocks of transactions. As the name suggests, each one cuts the amount of Bitcoin miners receive per block reward in half. At Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, miners received 50 Bitcoin per block, but that reward was reduced to 25 in the first halving, in 2012, to 12.5 in 2016, and will fall to 6.25 tokens in the next. – www.bloomberg.com Vildana Hajric and Brandon Kochkodin
As part of Bitcoin’s coin issuance, miners are rewarded a certain amount of bitcoins whenever a block is produced (approximately every 10 minutes). When Bitcoin first started, 50 Bitcoins per block were given as a reward to miners. After every 210,000 blocks are mined (approximately every 4 years), the block reward halves and will keep on halving until the block reward per block becomes 0 (approximately by year 2140). As of now, the block reward is 12.5 coins per block and will decrease to 6.25 coins per block post halving. www.bitcoinblockhalf.com
According to the BTC protocol, BTC’s total supply is 21 million, and the amount of BTC generated per block with rewards is set to decrease geometrically, with a 50% reduction every 210,000 blocks. The average BTC block generation interval is 10 minutes, so that BTC halving occurs every 4 years. The upcoming halving will occur when its block height reaches 630,000. .www.okex.com
In all their infinite wisdom, Bitcoin’s anonymous inventor Satoshi Nakamoto decided that only 21 million BTC would ever exist. They wanted new coins to be released gradually into the market — but at the same time, it was crucial for a generous supply of Bitcoin to start circulating sooner rather than later. www.coinmarketcap.com
Block halving is an event that occurs once roughly every four years wherein the block reward miners receive upon solving a block on the Bitcoin network is reduced by half. As a result, the rate at which new bitcoins are generated decreases. The halving event is periodical and is programmed into Bitcoin’s code. According to the Bitcoin algorithm once every time 210,000 Bitcoins enter circulation, a halving takes place. www.nexo.com
Past halving price performance
There is no surprise that something is going to happen after the bitcoin halving event. Some people think that nothing is going to happen after the halving, however, other people think that bitcoin price is going to fall, at Branzel we have some ideas about this topic, so here we go:
Bitcoin halving chart, Tradingview
A bitcoin halving of supply should cause an increase in price if demand for Bitcoins is equal or greater than what it was before the halving event. Above is a chart showing the past price performance of the two halving events.
Bitcoin Halving Searches on Google Hits All-Time Highs
Searches for bitcoin halving
People are a little bit worried about the bitcoin halving, so they started to search for this word, since February 2020 google shows an increase in its google trends web page about this halvening event.
So, should I buy o sell my bitcoin?
Being honest this a good time to buy bitcoins, let me explain to you why:
Bitcoin halvening prediction. Source: CyrptoPatel from https://www.tradingview.com/
Predictions say there are two ways, bitcoin will go down to 5700 USD or up 19000 USD. This is a good time to buy.
However, I suggest you only buy until May 15th because the bitcoin halving may produce a decrease in the bitcoin price. So, be careful with your investment.
All the evidence says something good is going to happen, what do you think?

How did the LIGHTNING NETWORK change in 2018?
January 20, 2019 By Branzel
In January 2018 the network single tennis 69 nodes. He’s over 5,000 today.
Better design for the user, the anchorage of the channels and their resistance to DDos, great challenges.
One of the biggest challenges of Bitcoin is the scalability of its network, that ability to maintain the efficiency of its protocol even in the midst of the massive and global use of its Criptomoneda and its chain of blocks. Lightning Network (LN) has been devised and developed to offer a possible solution from the second layer of payment channels and bitcoins routing outside the main chain.
During 2018 the network Lightning network experienced an important expansion, not only in terms of the number of nodes, payment channels, and routing capacity but in development and applications using their characteristics that allow transactions with bitcoins in a way Immediate and low cost.
While the first whitepaper (or white paper) on Ln, written by Joseph Poon and Thaddeus Dryja, was published in 2016, LN’s main network was presented to the public in January 2018. Although, then, only the developers were using it, given its instability and the novelty of its operation. Then, Blockstream announced a small online store to purchase merchandise allusive to the brand by making payments using Bitcoins through LN.
At that time, Lightning Network was a small network, and developers were urging each other to enable nodes with low BTC amounts and pay channels with even smaller amounts, this to prevent the tests from leading users to have losses Important.
Only in March 2018, Lightning Labs, one of the three main development teams of this network, released a stable version of its own client, Lightning Daemon (NLD). At that time, although the technical requirements remained important, less technical users began to be added, leveraging the growth of the LN, which has not stopped.
Lightning Network today This is how the network is currently seen, according to Lndexplorer. Source: Lndexplorer.
Although the network was promoted and gained popularity for micropayments thanks to these low limits, it should be emphasized that its design does not definitively limit the capacity that will have to route payments, which could be significantly increased in the future.
There is currently a capacity limit of 0.16 BTC and payments of 0.04 BTC, but this feature is not definitive and can be modified with the definitive stabilization of the network.
Available Customers
When it was presented in partnership, Lightning Network had only two clients. There are currently up to 6 client versions to use the network. In addition to those of Lightning Labs-LN Daemon or NLD (written in Goland)-, Blockstream-known as C-Lightning (written in c)-and the version of Eclair (developed at Scala), we have three other clients, less popular but equally compatible with those already mentioned.
We are talking about lit, created in Goland by MIT; Lightning-Onion, also written in Goland but focused on privacy, using the Red Lightning via TOR and Ptarmigan, which is still in development but is being written in Goland.
These six versions are completely compatible with each other, due to the collaborative nature of the development of this technology. Remember that all LN development teams use the same base specification, which makes payment channels and nodes work together despite the different version.
In this way, the developers have been able to make more emphasis in a certain area of the product without their technical specifications making their versions unviable to each other, this in favor of the network and the increase of users and operators of nodes.
If you want to know the applications available in this network-from games to points of sale, passing by self-service pilots, among others-you can consult this special work on the applications presented during 2018, and its second part.
Nodes, channels, and routing capability
The numbers are important and the growth of the network is significant in terms of data. Thus, if we talked about 69 nodes in their first presentation to the public, today the network has a total of 5,536 public nodes. This number would have to add an unknown amount of private nodes, whose configuration limits the visibility of their channels in the LN browsers that exist.
The number of nodes is fundamental for the decentralization and strength of the network. In fact, it is important to note that, despite being a solution for the scalability of Bitcoin, Lightning Network has more nodes than popular cryptocurrency like Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash or XRP.
Lightning Network nodes The key numbers of Lightning Network this January 20, 2019 Source: 1ml.
Lightning Network already has more than 20,000 channels of payment through which a total of 544.64 BTC can be routed, which amounts to a little more than 2 million of dollars with the current prices of the market.
The average capacity of these channels is 0.026 BTC, which is equivalent to almost 100 dollars per channel. It is estimated that each node of the network has about 15 channels of payment and with a capacity of 0.198 BTC, which translates to about 730 dollars.
Technical development and challenges
But, despite its exponential growth during 2018, the red Lightning still has many challenges ahead, especially in terms of the technical scope and its definitive expansion towards less technical users, with much friendlier user interfaces.
Thus, in addition to the modifications that should be given in the Bitcoin base protocol to deepen the bitcoin design (we talk, for example, of Eltoo and the need to add SIGHASH_NOINPUT to the Bitcoin scripts for implementation in LN), the development itself LN technician must evolve.
The main challenges of the network are the simplification of the interfaces and their construction on the basis of the users, but it is also critical the anchorage of the pay channels, the need for the users to be online, the simplification of the routing between Channels and their potential combination as well as the review scheme for updating your balance. These elements, although they have already been theorized, are still in full development.
Thus, the advent of lighter ST clients, such as Neutrino, the ultimate breakthrough of the Atomic multipath payments (AMP) or increased channel security and the operation of Ln are some of the important points on the development agenda.
Some researchers have even shown that, at the topological level, and especially in relation to the relationship between the nodes and the channels, there are still important problems, which could make the network potentially sensitive to a rational attack that collapses the network. Thus, in addition to nodes that concentrate the largest number of channels, the impotence against DDoS attacks and the possibility of collapsing the network are critical elements still to be solved.
A better understanding of network topology is essential to improving the robustness of complex systems, such as LN. The resistance of the networks depends on their topology. The high level representations of the LN topology convey a false sense of security and robustness.
István András beings
And is that, the better the Red Lightning works, the more robust its protocol the greater liquidity will attract, bringing to Bitcoin the possibility of fulfilling an old yearning: the realization of immediate transactions and with very low commissions.
In 2018, Andreas Brekken concentrated the greater routing capacity of Bitcoins de LN, in order to “promote itself”. The problem is that Brekken was self identify as an enemy and open Bitcoin critic, so, at the time, Brekken’s decision was interpreted as the portico of an attack on Lightning Network.
The network has been marked as centralized, especially by the way it is graphically represented, with important channel hubs, which could be critical points in this routing network.
These elements are warnings about the clearest challenges of the network, the key points to conquer during this 2019.
Remember that in 2017, at a meeting of developers, he ventured that in “18 months” the LN would be completely fit. Since then, the date became a sort of joke, to mock the slowness of its development.
However, as seen in 2018, 2019 may be a year of strengthening and deepening the network and its potential as a solution to the scalability of Bitcoin.
BITCOIN transaction fees reached their minimum in 3 years
January 7, 2019 By Branzel
bitcoin minimum price
2019 initiated with a fee of USD 0.02 per transaction in the Bitcoin network.
That figure was not recorded since October 2015.
Transaction fees on the Bitcoin network reached its lowest level on January 1, 2019, by registering a median of 0.02 USD per operation. Amounts like this were not recorded since October 2015, according to Visual Bitcoin data.
This figure occurred despite the fact that the volume of Bitcoin operations is currently 75% higher. Analyst Kevin Rooke highlighted in a tweet that on October 13, 2015, the previous date that the rates were located 0.02 dollars, 134,741 transactions were registered, while on January 1 of this year the figure reached 234,576 operations. In his view, the fact that Bitcoin mining is validating more transactions for the same fees represents progress.
Daily transaction costs were placed at 0.02 for the first time in three years. Source: Bitcoin Visuals.
It should be recalled that during the frantic growth of the bitcoin price at the end of 2017, transaction fees were shot to more than 65 dollars for an operation. At its highest point, which occurred on December 23, 2017, the median of the commissions per transaction was 33.67 dollars.

In 2017, commissions were paid up to 65 dollars per transaction. Source: Bitcoin Visuals.
The commissions that apply to transactions in the Bitcoin network constitute the fees that miners receive as an incentive to maintain mining. This activity allows to validate the transactions to avoid the double expense and at the same time to keep the Bitcoin network secure. However, too-high commissions make it infeasible to adopt this criptomoneda as a means of payment at the retail level.
The figures reveal that currently moving bitcoins is cheaper than in 2017, a fact that could be explained by the incorporation of scalability solutions such as SegWit. This update, which was launched in August 2017, had reached a 40% adoption one year after its activation. According to Segwit. Space data, on October 10th, 2018 the largest number of Segwit transactions was recorded in the Bitcoin network, at 51.64% of total operations. Currently, the transactional prevalence of Segwit is maintained at around 38%.
segwit space
Another solution that promises to take the adoption of Bitcoin, is the Red Lightning Network (LN), a second-tier, designed to make instant micropayments of bitcoins, with minimal transaction rates. The LN network, which was launched almost a year ago with just 69 nodes and 135 channels of payment, already has more than 5,000 public nodes and 17,800 payment channels, showing exponential growth.
The development of these technologies poses a favorable scenario for the massing of Bitcoin, beyond speculation with its price.

BITCOIN falls below $5.000 dollars dragging the crypto market
November 19, 2018 By Branzel
Bitcoin falls under 5000 dollars Source: Cointelegraph
The main Criptocurrency broke the support of the 5,000 dollars after several weeks stable.
The Crypto market in general lost, in a few hours, more than 21 billion dollars.
The crypto market experienced this Wednesday a day of negative results with Bitcoin falling below the US $5.800, which led to a downward trend in most crypto currency, displaying red numbers. Bitcoin (BTC) lost almost 10% to be quoted in USD 5.770, ether (ETH) fell 12.26% to locate in $183.54, Ripple (XRP) marked a decline of 13.76% ($0.44) and Bitcoin Cash recoiled 19.1% ($428).
The capitalization of the Cryptocurrency market went from 209 billion dollars, during the early hours of November 14, to US $188 billion during the afternoon, a fall of more than 21 billion dollars, that is to say about 11%, according to figures of CoinMarketCap.
Before the downturn, the bitcoin top quote was 6.371 dollars close to 1:00 in the morning (California time), and then collapsed to the $5.770 around the 9:00 in the morning. The capitalization of the main crypto currency of the market went from 110 billion dollars, to 100 billion dollars, a setback of 10%. Of the 100 crypto most important currencies, due to their volume in the market, 96 were throwing red figures. Those that lost more ground were WAX (22.93%) and IOST (21.22%).

One of the reasons that would have influenced the fall of the Cripto market would be to see that this Wednesday was defeated one of the futures of BTC in the Chicago Board options Exchange (CBOE), the largest market for financial options in the United States. This is the XBT/X8 that was quoted between 5,565 and 6,295. Other futures that follow are the XBT/Z8 with maturity on December 19, the XBT/F9 which expires on January 16, 2019 and XBT/G9 with cut-off date on February 13 of next year.
According to analyst Willy Woo, the market would bottom out in the second quarter of the 2019, and then climb consistently. In his Twitter account @woonomic, Woo said:
“I suspect the time to get to the bottom can be around the second quarter of 2019. After that we start the real band of accumulation, only after that, we will begin a long routine upward. “
In another message, this time quoting a tweet of his shared in September, Woo asserted that market indicators, published 2 months ago, were still at stake. At that time the analyst predicted the following: “Prepare for it. Our most likely way is to fall below the support of the $5,800 with some free falls (…). The following support is $4,900, which should slow down the fall, but 4,400 is the next real line of defense. ”
During the last 3 months the bitcoin price remained relatively stable with quotes ranging from 6,100 dollars, in mid-August, to 7,360 dollars in early September. In addition, between 1 October and Tuesday 13 November the value remained between 6,900 dollars and 6,354, with a variation of almost 600 dollars.

‘Bitcoin is common in our lives’ says Rapper Eminem on his new album Kamikaze
September 2, 2018 By Branzel
Bitcoin Eminem kamikaze
The surprise release of the new album of American rapper Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, not only excited fans, but also the bitcoin community, since one of the simple mentions is made to Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency more important ecosystem blockchain.
A sample of the cryptocurrency is entering more and more mass culture.
His new production “Kamikaze”, rapper Eminem, whose release was announced by the artist through Twitter.
“Not Alike” is titled and the Eminem shares with Ryan Daniel Montgomery, known as Royce Da 5’9, who is a guest in their songs.
Royce Da 5’9 says in the song: “Remember everybody used to bite Nickel, now everybody doing Bitcoin”.
This is the mention of the cryptocurrency in the entertainment industry, where frequently dealt with the everyday issues with which the common people is identified, as Bitcoin.
It is not the first time that concerns the world of rap with the cryptocurrency. In the month of June, another famous rapper announced the creation of its own cryptocurrency. The singer and activist Akon launched the crypto active Akoin, which aims to support the economic situation in Africa.
The constant growth of the cryptocurrency has led to being a recurring theme in the world of entertainment.
In the music industry, celebrities have created projects based in altcoins. For example, recently held the OMF Festival, a project of the American DJ Justin Blau, better known as DJ 3lau, who seeks to create your token for the production of musical performances live via a token created over the network from Ethereum.
On the other hand, the producers of film and television, have included the cryptocurrency in the frames of movies and series. Such is the case of the “Startup” series premiered in 2016, where the story revolves around a fictitious cryptocurrency called GenCoin.
Other television series such as The Big Bang Theory, the Simpsons, and Family Guy, have included episodes on cryptocurrency.
Also on the big screen has been present bitcoin, with productions in various regions of the world. The premiere of “Crypto” the first Hollywood film whose plot revolves around the cryptocurrency is announced for next year.
According to Forbes, a “significant” aspect of the mention of Bitcoin on the subject of Eminem, is that it does not associate the crypto active with corruption and dirty business, nor suggested it as a means to get rich quick, but as something that “everyone”, and is as common as any routine activity.

Republicans’ search for new leader continues
9 years ago Uncategorized
Republicans are so anxious to replace President Barack Obama in the White House that they may be losing sight of what really matters, and in turn end up supporting someone who isn’t that different.
Photo courtesy of dailypolitical.com.
Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, is the commanding preference for the GOP nomination; along with former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., in second place. However, the top contenders are definitely not the best choices for our nation.
Perry and Romney are in the lead simply because they have been able to avoid severe scrutiny from the media thus far, not because they would necessarily be better leaders than our current president and make the changes we’re really looking for.
Perry is too radical in a one-on-one showdown between Obama. While he may get many die-hard conservative votes, Romney would have a higher chance of receiving more middle-ground votes.
This leaves Republicans looking to Romney, which is as equally grim of an outcome. Romney’s handling of Massachusetts’s health care reform is too reminiscent of Obama’s reform, a reform that many Republicans are adamantly opposed to.
Romney lacks the characteristics of a strong leader because he is too fickle with his policies. He changed his stance from pro-choice to pro-life in an attempt to please voters. Who knows what other stances he’ll change, especially if he can’t even stand by his true beliefs?
U.S. citizens don’t need a people-pleaser running their country, and Romney is too willing to change his position to what his “market” is looking for. Politicians like this are too quick to make hefty claims and they never follow through.
The crisis within the GOP is that there is too much irrelevant information circulating and this is skewing perceptions of the candidates. This makes it hard for citizens to get an accurate feel for what they want to stand for. Perry and Romney are only the front runners of the GOP race because they have mostly been able to avoid this.
Candidates like Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum on the other hand, have been devastated by a stream of personal attacks that have nothing to do with their leadership capabilities.
Palin’s “celebrity” status eclipses any of her political remarks. Santorum’s reputation has been so damaged by liberal journalists that any attempt to look into his policies are met with media generated vulgarity rather than actual information. These journalists even launched a campaign to change the meaning of his name to something obscene so that he is known not for who he is as a person, but rather as an obscenity.
Several candidates hold ideas that could lower national debt faster by cutting national spending, as opposed to Obama’s most recent plan, which looks at increasing taxation on wealthy Americans.
Many of these candidates offer the changes the GOP are looking for, changes they aren’t finding in Obama, but none of these candidates have a chance as of right now. Republican voters aren’t looking for a different type of president, but they are willing to settle for a different type of Obama.
Voters need to stop backing career politicians and actually look into matters themselves. Find those who are actually fiscally and socially sound, with the intent to carry out what they say.

Keith's Cavers in The Search for the Missing Potholer - Part Three
I guess I could be described as a lifelong learner. I enjoy setting myself challenges, acquiring new skills and working outside my comfort zone. I also take pleasure in problem solving. Making videos
satisfies my creative urges, and allows me to experiment with styles, genres and moods. I also bring to my film making my low threshold of boredom which I hope results in my films being unpredictable, watchable and innovative. All of this means that having produced a film of a particular genre, for example a documentary, I don't really want to produce another one the same, well not for a while anyway. So over the 10 years since I started my YouTube channel I have experimented with many different styles and genres - documentaries, music videos, promotional videos, pastiches, drama, comedy, factual, spoofs and even a five part mini cliff-hanger series. I've also incorporated special effects including green-screening and animation.
I bring all of the above to my video making and I like to think that these might be the reasons why my channel has enjoyed a modest amount of success, but perhaps my achilles heel over the years has always been my warped sense of humour which has been variously described as puerile, childish, twisted, weird, and downright embarrassing. So I'm under no illusion that my videos are universally liked.
But I hope this explains why when I was asked to produce the conference opening video for this year's Hidden Earth I wanted to try something different, something really different, completely different from anything I had done before or that had been attempted before.
I know that I could have gone for a safe low risk option and produced a beautifully filmed and narrated caving documentary, but this wasn't for me. As I've said above I'm naturally an innovator and a risk taker. Keith's Cavers fulfilled these urges. The 1 minute 10 second opening/title sequence took weeks of work to get it as close to the original as possible. Everything was timed to the split second, and it required me to develop or hone skills in animation, titling and working with transparent layers.The video sequences had to pastiche the original footage in Charlie's Angels whilst changing the theme from a police academy to caving.
The mini-episode that this opening sequence fronts presented a number of fresh challenges for me to overcome.
1. Telling the story in a very short amount of time
My fellow videographers will know that there aren't usually any time restrictions when producing caving videos for public consumption, but there are those imposed by competition organisers. At the moment this is 10 minutes maximum in the Hidden Earth video salon, although I have heard rumours that this might be cut down for next year's competition. So what often happens is that we produce a shortened version of an existing video for entering in competitions. Cutting down a documentary is difficult enough but it is usually possible to chop out whole sections without upsetting continuity. With a story/drama this is not possible. I had to tell the complete story in about 8 minutes and it was hard at times requiring many difficult decisions on what to cut out and what absolutely had to be left in to make the story work.
2. Working with transparent layers
I had already honed my skills with transparent layers when creating the opening sequence, or so I thought. The scene where Margo, having failed to get though the very tight squeeze and returns to Kay and Jess to spin the yarn that she's actually been to Five Mile Chamber required fantasy scenes to be incorporated in thought bubbles. This 25 second sequence took three evenings of head scratching and experimentation to achieve.
3. Working with actors
Didn't they all do well? I believe they excelled but it's much more difficult filming acted scenes than for example scenes of beautiful cave decorations set to etherial music, or action scenes. I really must publish the outtakes one day.
4. Working with one camera
My films are at the low budget, el cheapo end of cave videography. I do have two cameras - a Panasonic Lumix GX7 and a GoPro Hero 6, but I decided to use just one camera for this video - mainly due to time constants. This required most scenes to be filmed from at least two perspectives and then to cut-in to create interest and pace.
5. Continuity
It was essential to have good continuity for the story to work. This isn't an issue with a number of video genres but it was with this. The scenes were not filmed in order and they were filmed over multiple trips. Maintaining continuity was a nightmare. I couldn't have them covered in mud in an early scene and freshly laundered in a later one.
I like to think that my use of lighting in my videos is okay-ish. I do like creating mood and drama by effective use of lighting but I will admit that this is not one of my best lit videos. Why? Well most of the video relies on close-up shots because the audience needs to see the actors speaking. So great lighting effects were a casualty of the type of video I had chosen to create.
7. Sound effects and levels
Getting the sound right was the biggest challenge by far. The dialogue had got to be audible and distinguishable when played in the conference hall for the video to have any chance of success. I was in the audience, about half way back, and thankfully I think I got it just about right, but it took countless hours of behind the scenes work. The biggest challenge in this video was recording sound in the cave environment. Caves do not have the best acoustics anyway with lots of echo in the larger spaces. Add into the mix the rustling of cordura caving suits and the horrible scraping sound they produce when rubbing against a cave wall and you will understand why the mixing took so long. Much of the audio was recorded, not on the camera, but on my mobile recording studio - my iPhone. The telephone sequences were mainly recorded in my studio aka the front bedroom on the iPhone using an external iQ5 Zoom microphone. The video utilises a number of audio special effects. The most noticeable is the telephone effect but the voice enhancement effect was also extensively utilised. The final challenge was timing. The scenes were acted out without the actors hearing what was being said on the phone so suitable gaps had to be left and the actors expressions had to match what was being said on the phone - which of course they couldn't hear! Some scenes miraculously worked but in others I have had to slightly re-time the video to match the audio. The re-timing is so subtle that I challenge anyone to spot where in the video it was implemented.
How was it received?
The video was played at the opening ceremony. As I've already said the dialogue seemed to be completely audible and the audience laughed in all the right places (or so it seemed), but at the end was complete silence! During the day I talked to several people. I had obviously produced a 'marmite' video. It was loved and hated in roughly equal measures.
I had entered the film in the video salon so I had a couple of days to reflect on whether the judges would love it or hate it. The result was neither. It did reasonably well but not good enough to get an award. Their comments were:
"Good fun film. Care needed with flickering lights. Predictable but end was nice."
"Good fun and audio."
"Good filming, thin comedy."
So the judges were ambivalent to it but what about my YouTube followers? The first comment was:
"Awesomely done, very entertaining. Very nice editing too (I suspect a lot of folk don't realise just how much goes into making something like this) :o)" This meant a great deal to me because a lot of me did go into making it and getting it as good as possible did became an obsession. For example, at the eleventh hour I spotted in the animated scene change sequence a one pixel wide band that flickered on and off as the yellow caver moved up the screen. I couldn't let it go so another couple of hours was spent re-editing it.
Other comments are:
"Love this"
"Cool"
"Haha well done Keith good video very entertaining"
But my favourite comments are:
"One sec I’m at a rave, next I’m in my bed monging out to this, how did I get here?"
"Dude, that intro is FUNKADELIC MAN!!!!!! YEAHHHHH!!!!"
And my favourite comment of all:
"A superb and very entertaining video Keith 👌. The world is a much better place, now that we have your angels 😇"
Finally here's the video. What do you think? Do you love it or do you hate it?
Keith Cavers in The Search for the Missing Potholer

Enormous thanks to my stars: Ian, Jess, Kay and Mark, to Brendan for his superb graphics and to Dave and Loz for carrying stuff and holding torches.

Keith's Cavers in The Search for the Missing Potholer - Part Two
In part one I wrote about how the idea for Keith's Cavers was born and how it was key to get the opening credits sequence perfect, but at that stage I didn't have an idea for the video. It was just like being a kid at school who has spent weeks creating the best title page ever for his project but hadn't actually done anything towards the project itself.
So with the opening sequence almost complete it was now time to decide on how to fill the remaining 6 minutes or so. As it was the conference opening video my first idea was to make a video (humorous of course) showing how members of Dudley Caving Club set about preparing for participating in the various Hidden Earth competitions. This was discussed with team members and received universal approval. I'll leave it to your imagination to think of the range of possibilities that were discussed for filming things like sack stuffing, ladder coiling, knot tying and photography. Although it had merit and would have been an excellent theme for the opening video I felt it was too safe an option. It would require very little filming underground and I do think that the majority of a HE opening video should feature subterranean footage.
My second idea was to base it on a caving trip we undertook in 2013 which didn't go quite according to plan. I had always thought that it would make a great video as it involved several incidents and a race against the clock which incidentally later featured as a lyric in The World of Caving. "Will we ever make our callout time?" We had gone to make an attempt on the Prokofiev Series in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu and chickened out at the 'horrible exposed' climb. That left us with time on our hands so we attempted to exit via Swamp Creek where the various incidents occurred. All the way through we were saying to each other how we were pleased that it was a one-way trip as none of us fancied reversing the route we had just come though. Eventually with time running out and not knowing really where we were in the cave, and with the way on looking like an almost impossible traverse across very narrow ledges with a very deep vadose trench below, we decided the only thing to do was to turn back. This led to the race against time and the ladder incident which occurred almost exactly as portrayed in Keith's Cavers. Fans of my videos may remember my five part mini-series, The Dudley, Caving and Cakes where we managed to lose Brendan. I thought we could use the search for Brendan as the basis for the Angel's mission.
Jess is passed the f***ing ladder
It was decided to film this second option, review the footage and then decide if it was going to work or whether it would be better to revert to the first idea. So we set off to South Wales for a day's filming. Definitely the best shot of the day was Kay falling into the 'little puddle'. I'd done this twice before and knew that it was very difficult when coming through the slot head first to stay out of the water which isn't just a little puddle by the way. So I went through feet first with my camera box to get ready for the shot. Kay had watched what I did and started to follow my lead. "No, no, no," I shouted. "You must come through head first!" Obviously there was no guarantee that she would fall into the water quite so spectacularly but sometimes luck is just on yer side, and a moment of pure comedy gold was created. This also got the biggest laugh when the video was premiered at Hidden Earth 2018.
Kay lands in the little puddle
I made an edit of the footage we had taken and sent it off for comment. The overwhelming reaction was that it was okay but nowhere near good enough. Jess made a number of suggestions - cutting bits out that didn't work and re-sequencing the rest. The resulting edit was much better but left us with continuity gaps which would require another visit to South Wales.
We had also got to film the Angels being briefed. This was done one Thursday evening in the windmill. In Charlie's Angels, Bosley hands the Angels a box of chocolates with a large bow on top. I decided that as the video starred Mark this would have to be a cake - a large pink cake. Ian turned up for his role as Boseley, Margo donned on the wig, we set up the room with all of the props (desk, speaker, projector, screen) but when I was ready to begin filming Ian had disappeared. "Where is Ian," I asked.
"He's gone to the toilet," came the reply.
Minutes passed.
"What's he doing in there?"
"Don't know. The usual I expect, but he's taking his time."
Then Ian emerged wearing his best suit and tie. Not only did this make the scene, it also shows just how much support I can count on from my caving colleagues.
Bosley and the cake
I had only got one problem left to solve and that was how to end the video. We discussed this many times at Club meetings and various suggestions were made, some of which would have made much better endings, but would have led to another issue - the video would have been too long. Eventually we decided to use the telephone ending as it was quite short and if the Angel's could pull the right facial expressions then it would make an excellent freeze frame for the closing credits.
The Angels get a call from Brendan
With the opening titles and briefing sequences complete we set off for South Wales again to film the ending and the other scenes that were necessary for continuity. However try as I might there is still one continuity error in the final video. Has anyone spotted it?
I have to thank Mark for scripting and acting the final scene and all three Angels for wallowing in mud. It was exactly what was needed for the scene to work.
In the concluding part of this post I will write about the technical and other aspects of making the video.
Keith's Cavers in The Search for the Missing Potholer - Part One
In 2017 at Hidden Earth I won the video salon competition with the opening video.
Hidden Earth 2017 Opening Video
Winning the salon meant that I was asked to produce this year's opening video and this is where my troubles began. The opening videos, or AVs as they are usually called, have been of a consistently and very high standard over all of the years that I have attended Hidden Earth, so I'd got to make something of an equally high quality. No pressure there then. I also set a self-imposed goal - I wanted to try something different, something really different from anything that had gone before. Last year I achieved this by producing a video set to two songs for which I had re-written the lyrics, but what to do this year? I had no idea. After weeks of racking my brain out of the depths of my warped imagination came the idea of creating a homage to Charlie's Angels, the TV series which was broadcast between 1973 and 1981. I liked the idea because the opening credits with the instantly recognisable theme tune and strong voice-over would be immediately recognisable to anyone over a certain age, and let's face it most of the Hidden Earth audience are over that certain age.
The opening credits to the TV show ran for just over a minute and as Hidden Earth opening videos should ideally be between 6 and 8 minutes long it would give me another 5 to 7 minutes to play with. I decided to go ahead with this idea even if I never went on to create a complete video as just creating the credit sequence would be a fun challenge and would require me to learn new video editing skills.
The three Angels were introduced individually by them appearing first as a silhouette on a vividly coloured background which was repeated in various colours and sizes. The largest silhouette then became transparent and grew in size to reveal shots of the character. Finally the iconic silhouette of the three Angels holding guns with a flame background was used for the show's title - CHARLIE'S ANGELS. I pitched my crazy idea to the Dudley members who have been my most loyal supporters and they agreed to indulge me. Also Brendan, whose graphic skills are amazing, agreed to produce the silhouettes.
The next problem to overcome was casting. I needed three angels as well as Bosley of course. Casting two of the Angels was easy as two of my most faithful supporters were Kay and Jess, but would they be up of it? Thankfully they were! Bosley was easy too. There was only one person for the job - Ian our chairman and fortunately he was also up for it. That only left one Angel to find. It also left me with yet another large dilemma. There was no role for my biggest (get it?) star, Mark, but the problem was quickly solved using a wig and Farah Fawcett-Majors became Margo Chunky-Burkey. Game on.
The opening sequence would only work if I could get the silhouettes produced to a very high standard. Also what could we use to replace the guns. Mark came up with the suggestion of a camera for himself (obviously) and a ladder climb for Kay who would take up the central position. He also came up with the idea of the drill for Jess to hold. Mark took the photos of the Angels one Thursday evening a the Dudley windmill using a massive tripod mounted 30kg camera and about half a dozen radio controlled flashes. He was obviously taking his role as photographer in chief very seriously and was taking the same sort of care and effort that he puts into his professional award winning cave piccies. Nevertheless try as he might he could not eliminate all of the shadows. The pictures were emailed off to Brendan and back came the brilliant silhouettes that appear in the final video as both positives, with the silhouette as a transparent layer, and negatives with the background as the transparent layer. I then looked again at the Charlie's Angels sequence and sod it, I had forgotten to get a photo of Ian. Mark was off jet-setting around the world taking wonderful pictures of caves so I took the picture using my phone and using just the ambient lighting. It turned out to be a great picture with absolutely no shadows - result! Take that Mark Burkey.

Producing the graphic sequences and timing them to the music took several hours but I felt it was worth getting it right. Attention to detail was becoming a bit of an obsession so I also wanted to use the same font for the titles that was used in the original series. I researched via the internet and found it was LesterBold which I downloaded from a font site. I also added my voice-over at this stage. I tried a number of microphones but just couldn't get it to sound right. Eventually I recorded it on my iPhone. At the same time I added the flame effects which I bought online from Pixel Studios. While I was doing all of this we visited Cwmorthin Slate Mine in North Wales and filmed the sequence of Margo not using two cows tails. I will publish the outtakes one day which are hilarious in their own right. Obviously the rock face was not vertical so I had to angle the camera to give the impression of it being vertical and being a complete numpty it took several attempts to get it right. On the first attempt Mark flies off frame left horizontally.
The opening sequence was slowly coming together but I still needed the video clips to add in. I used a number of placeholders and archive clips but the hugging and essential cake sequence weren't filmed until much later.
I sent the partially finished film to Ian, Mark, Jess, Kay and Brendan (my critical friends) for their reactions and it was universally given the green light. I was now confident of completing the opening sequence on time, but that was all I'd got. I now needed a video to go with it, or to make the decision to not use it for the Hidden Earth video and resume head-scratching for another idea, and time was running out.
Once again this year I am privileged to have been asked to produce the opening video for Hidden Earth, the UKs National Caving Conference, which will take place at Churchill Academy and Sixth Form, Churchill Green, Churchill, North Somerset, BS25 5QN between 21st and 23rd September.
Here's a short promotional video to get everyone in the mood.

The Lightening Network Makes First Successful Test
Home » Featured » The Lightening Network Makes First Successful Test
Executive Brief
One of the key technical challenges for Bitcoin is the issue of congestion within the blockchain that drives the entire digital currency. Slowing transactions and confirmations as a result, it is an issue that much of the cryptocurrency industry is looking at, with several proposed solutions under development. One of those, from Blockstream, is the Lightening Network, that takes the approach of separating transactions away from the main blockchain. They recently announced the first successful micro transaction using the system, and this could be a significant moment in the ongoing development of the digital currency.
Read the full story below.
Developers at Blockstream, the blockchain startup, have just announced that they have completed a successful micropayment test on their Lightening Network using Bitcoin testnet coins. The Network, a hybrid system that works in tandem with, but outside, the Bitcoin blockchain, promises faster transactions by separating those transactions from the main chain.
The test was carried out by using an ASCII cat image as the product for purchase. The buyer opened what they refer to as a channel with the product, in this case the cat image, and sent the required funds. The test was just a single hop, but in the future the lightening network will allow vendors to leverage other stable nodes to quickly relay payments and further reduce transaction congestion.
Confirmation of a successful transaction is transmitted via the Lightening Network itself, although in a commercial situation the vendor would usually also send an email confirmation as well. While the system as designed would seem to work well with deliverable products and offer an interesting solution for commercial e-commerce sites, it is thought that initial adoption will be for improved financial transactions. Exchanges and other currency trades could certainly benefit from the speed, and it may even provide arbitrage opportunities for Bitcoin traders once widely adopted.
This successful test comes just after an announcement that Lightening developers will soon begin the creation of code libraries that will enable the creation of store frameworks built upon lightening payment structures.
The success here is not just good news for Blockstream, who are competing against other alternative proposals to streamline Bitcoin transactions, but Bitcoin itself. Congestion in the blockchain remains Bitcoins biggest technological challenge, and as the number of transactions increases, so does that issue. With the blockchain currently around 100 Gigabytes in size, a solution that helps reduce that and transfer data away from it can only be beneficial to all users.
If Bitcoin is to expand as the industry wants it to, with more users and more transactions, the Lightening Network initiative could be crucial to that success in the future.

INVASIVE ALIENS
INVASIVE SPECIES, COMING SOON TO A HABITAT NEAR YOU
That was picture and the headline -- the scary stuff on the cover of Time -- often a worry-mongering magazine.
Uh oh, oh boy, I thought.
The photo of the huge python focused me on these snakes that started appearing 15 years ago. There are now about 100,000 pythons upsetting the ecosystem in South Florida. Many skilled specialists have tried, but can't get rid of them.
The problem was detailed with proof -- numbers and quotes from experts -- every border of our country is dealing with biological invasion. There are more than 50,000 alien species in the U.S. that are threatening our endangered animals; new species sometimes homogenize with the "native" species, and displace the natives.
The list of aliens includes: LIONFISH that scour coral reefs of sea life, in Texas; FERAL HOGS rampage through farmers' fields, in the Northeast, EMERALD ASH BORERS turn trees into kindling. ZEBRA MUSSELS are encrusting pipes and valves in the Great Lakes areas, rendering power plants worthless; CARPS from China that appeared in the Mississippi River, now appear in the Great Lakes and as they increase, they're hurting the region's $7 billion sport-fishing industry; GIANT AFRICAN SNAILS that were being sold for human consumption were discovered last month at L.A. International Airport.
The guy who wrote this cover story, Bryan Walsh, senior editor for Time, mentioned other invasive species that are brought into the country by humans, as pets or plants, saying "Some 10,000 species are moving around in cargo ships. Our planet is becoming a giant mixing bowl. It's global swarming.”
Mentioning the $120 billion a year our country has been spending on handling some of these problems, Walsh wrote, "There is no wilderness, no place that hasn't been touched by humans, that isn't also affected by greenhouse-gas emissions, global trade,. as well other facets of modern existence."
My heart sank, but in the last paragraph, he wrote. "It's up to us to create space and a place for what is invading our world, because we ourselves are the dominant invasives of all time. We are doing it for our own survival."
Wow, this cover story educates us. And yes, it also gives us, as invasive aliens, a passion to solve this, as well as a modicum of hope.
Thanks Bryan Walsh; thanks Time Magazine.
(VIDEO) JOHN CULLUM ON ROBERT DUVALL
Back in the days when John Cullum and Emily Frankel were newlyweds, they lived at the famous Montecito Apartments in Hollywood, where many New York actors resided when working in films. That's how John got to know Robert Duvall.
Em finds it amazing, how John and Duvall's careers grew, since those days, in vastly different directions.
All the awards Duvall has received, the various fascinating characters, the major film projects that Duvall has been involved with continue to impress John. But Duvall's intensity is what John remembers -- not just from the films, but the way Duvall and he competed in tennis.
PEEK AT EM'S GALLERY
If you buzz our buzzer, we ask who it is, and when we know who you are, we buzz you in. It's a surprise when you walk in. Our hallway walls are shocking pink, and bright orange; the steps and banisters are bright red. The brilliant, almost clashing colors, wonderful colors, make visitors laugh, and put most of them in a good mood.
After you climb two flights of steps you're at the third floor, where you see some of my paintings hanging on the pink wall.
This is one of my cityscapes. If you're a New Yorker or you've visited my hometown, you may recognize some of the buildings.
I like to do cityscapes -- I enjoy doing repetitive tasks, like embroidering "True Friendships Are Eternal" on a sampler. I gave it to Mom for Mother's Day when I was eight-years-old. I found a photo in a magazine ad that I loved, and copied it, and have copied it again and again in different ways and in different colors.
As we climb the stairs to the top floor where our home is, you pass my visions of the water, birds flying over it, with the island of NYC in the distance.
The red door you're passing is the entrance to "DanceHouse" -- that's where our offices are, (John Cullum's and mine), and the theater-dance studio where I choreographed and rehearsed my Dance Drama Company.
Here's a quick peek at the clipboard on my desk -- my vision of the Galaxy. I clip email, passwords and addresses onto the galaxy.
On the other side of my desk, attached to my Blue Faces painting,
there's a list of ideas that I might use for my blog, and emergency phone numbers for tech pals.
At the top of the step there's a plastic plant, stage prop from my play "People in Show Biz Make Long Goodbyes," and a Clown painting that went with a song I sang to our son JD.
"See a clown,
He's looking down.He has a bird.
Oops he heard --
You and me --
Talking about the fact that he lives in a tree."
In the other part of our loft-home, on the door to JD's room,
there is my "Em Clown."
She's wearing one of my costumes; her eyes have fake lashes that I made out of black felt. I painted the "Em Clown " on JD's door to keep JD company when I was on tour.
My biggest, bestest cityscape is hung in a prominent spot in the main hall where there's plenty of light from one of the skylights. Click the picture. You can see much more -- more buildings -- also the bridge to the borough of Queens.
I like my orange cityscape, but if I have time to paint another picture, it wouldn't be a cityscape.
Maybe I'll paint flowers.

S. Korea demonstrates drone and autonomous robot co-op grocery delivery service
Park Sae-jin Reporter(swatchsjp@ajunews.com) | Posted : October 13, 2020, 10:26 | Updated : October 13, 2020, 10:31

[Gettyimages Bank]
SEOUL -- The South Korean government has partnered with a state research institute to demonstrate the cooperative operation of a delivery drone and autonomous robot that delivers groceries to customers living on a small island across a narrow strait.
Delivery drones and autonomous robots are widely researched by government organizations and private companies for their versatility and convenience. Drones were tested to deliver medication for people living on small islands. Woowa Brothers, the operator of South Korea's favorite food delivery service app Baedal Minjok, has tested autonomous robots to deliver food this year.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy partnered with the state-run Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) to demonstrate a combined drone service in Yeosu some 315 kilometers (195 miles) south of Seoul on October 13.
A customer in Jangdo, a small island off Yeosu, ordered groceries using an app provided by GS25, a major domestic convenience store franchise. When the order was made, a drone carrying groceries took off from a gas station operated by GS Caltex, a major refiner in South Korea, to fly across a narrow strait. During its flight, the drone reached a maximum altitude of about 80 meters (262 feet).
When the drone reached an open grassy area in Jangdo, it descended about one meter above an autonomous robot and softly dropped its load onto the tractor-like robot's carrying compartment before flying back to its base station in Yeosu. The autonomous robot moved about 700 meters to reach its destination. The operation took about 10 minutes.
The delivery drone is capable of carrying up to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and fly at a maximum speed of 60 km per hour. It can stay up in the air for up to 30 minutes. The autonomous robot can carry a maximum load of 150 kilograms per run and navigate for up to 300 minutes at a speed of 5.0 km per hour.
The demonstration is part of a 35.2 billion won ($30 million) state project to nurture non-face-to-face logistics and distribution infrastructure using 5G, drones, robots and artificial intelligence.
In June, GS Caltex used delivery drones to carry lunchboxes and drinks from a gas station in the southern resort island of Jeju to a nearby elementary school. GS Caltex plans to utilize its nationwide network of gas stations as the hub of a logistics system that can provide drone delivery, car-sharing, parcel delivery by vehicles and charging for eco-friendly cars.
South Korea with a web of 4G and 5G mobile communications has tested delivery drones in urban areas and hard-to-reach places. The demand for quick drone parcel deliveries is high among villagers that live on islands that dot the southwestern and southern coasts as logistics companies charge more for delivery to islands.
For the commercialization of delivery drones in urban areas, a food delivery service company demonstrated an auto-piloting drone in the western port city of Incheon in 2016 to deliver a rice cake stew dish to a customer.
For safety reasons, delivery companies have used drones on wheels. Woowa has successfully carried out a test run of Dilly, a six-wheeled autonomous drone.

American Democracy Will Fail Its Midterms
By Ryan C. Napoli (for Safe Democracy)
Ryan Napoli challenges the importance of the upcoming midterm elections in the United States. Napoli contends that corporate and special interests have compromised American democracy and explains how the existence of a two-party party system and policies such as earmarking have removed the taxpayers’ voice in their government. In Napoli’s opinion, regardless of which party triumphs, the future of democracy in America will be at stake unless the people take the government back for themselves.
Ryan C. Napoli is a public interest lawyer at MFY Legal Services based in New York City. He has represented indigent individuals and groups in a wide range of cases including housing, civil rights, poverty law, family law and immigration. Napoli is an advocate of a vast array of social justice issues including having represented post-9/11 detainees. He has also worked for the Grameen Foundation implementing micro credit in the Americas and drafting legislation on Capitol Hill.
IN THE UNITED STATES VOTERS are gearing up for what is considered to be important mid-term elections in November.
After six years of Republic dominance in all three branches of the US government, Republican grasp of both the House and Senate are at stake for the first time since the Republican Revolution of 1994. As a result, both parties are spending billions of dollars on campaigns across the country. But, for what?
If the Democrats regain control of all or part of Congress, will that eliminate the institutional political corruption and greed that is ever-present and increasing in American politics? Will the lobbyists of the likes of Jack Abramoff, and politicians like Bob Ney and Tom DeLay disappear? Will taxpayers have a say in their government? Hardly.
The Democrats are just as guilty of selling their electorate out to corporate and special interests as the Republicans. Campaign finance, the two-party system and laws such as earmarking have crippled American democracy. These policies have led to a political environment where there is no real challenge to those in power. In 2004, more than 98 percent of incumbents won their way back to Washington.
WHOSE INTERESTS DO ELECTED OFFICIALS REPRESENT?
Increasingly, neither party represents the people. Some argue that the parties represent the haves and the have-mores; however, the situation is much worse. American politics has reached the point where a term like constituency means corporate and special interest lobbyists and the industries and groups behind them, such as energy, banking, media, the Christian right and the trial lawyers. It appears that the only interests met are corporate and special interests.
Money has certainly been associated with elections since the inception of the electoral process. In fact, the Founding Fathers debated the issue of who should be able to run for public office.
One of the main points of contention was whether to limit candidates for office to landowners. The Founding Fathers decided that such a limitation would impede democracy inasmuch as people of less wealth could not run for public office.
Americans need to reclaim the Founding Fathers’ vision of democracy, where both the rich and poor could run for public office. This vision cannot be achieved without real campaign finance reforms and the implementation of policies such as Clean Elections.
TWO PARTIES EQUAL ONE CHOICE
Another factor stifling American democracy is the two-party system. The two-party system has led to issueless elections which motivate candidates to run negative campaigns. Candidates focus solely on issues that appear necessary to differentiate themselves from their primary opponent, instead of addressing actual policies constructive or beneficial to citizens.
The dynamics of the American two-party system have prevented both parties from shifting too far to either side of the political spectrum. The two parties have such similar stances on most major issues and in their reliance on a wealthy power base that the two parties in reality form a one-party system.
A two-party system also increases the usage and reliance on gerrymandering tactics. In an effort to diffuse minority strength, the two parties attempt to concentrate opposition votes into a few districts to gain more seats for the majority in surrounding districts. Similarly, campaign finance corruption is more prevalent in a two-party system since it has fewer players to receive donations. The result of excessive corporate and money influenced campaigns is the abandonment of the interests of millions of taxpayers.
EARMARKING TAX DOLLARS TO ENSURE RE-ELECTION
Another contributing factor to political corruption and the removal of the taxpayers from the equation of politics is earmarking. In the United States legislative budget process, Congress has the power to earmark funds it appropriates to be spent on specific named projects while circumventing all review. Earmarks obligate agency bureaucrats to spend a portion of the budget on special projects chosen by politicians. Members of Congress, including Rep. James P. Moran Jr., used earmarks to fund a private defense contractor $37 million for technology the military could not use. Meanwhile Moran received $17,000 in campaign contributions from the President of the company.
In 2005, 15,000 earmarks were issued costing $47 billion. Public finance experts criticize earmarking as it creates an environment of corruption including kickbacks. Legislators are not fighting for a specific earmark to help their constituents. Earmarking is really about securing campaign contributions from big business and special interests.
Earmarking is further distancing democracy from the electorate and ought to be outlawed. In 1998, the Supreme Court took away similar powers extended to the president, the ability to use the line-item veto on spending bills. The next step is to ban earmarking.
WHAT IS REALLY AT STAKE
The greed and corruption on the part of both parties has reached the point where the electoral process is in jeopardy. Whether the Republicans retain complete control of the government or the Democrats successfully challenge that control is not what is at stake, but rather the health and viability of American democracy.
In 1938, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued a warning about money interests in the political system: The liberty of democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.
SUPPORT DISSENT
Americans should heed this warning and demand answers to questions such as why corporate and special interests assume an increasing level of control over their lives and futures.
Taxpayers should ask the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be. Unfortunately, in November no such questions will be on the ballot, and as result the election will accomplish little towards the restoration of democracy.
Americans need to reclaim their voice in government. Americans should demand real campaign finance reform, a multi-party system of government and a ban on earmarking. Corporations should be made the taxpayers’ servants under the law.
Without such institutional political reforms, positive change will not occur and democracy in American will remain unsafe.

Mr. King
Do we need a Referendum For A New Democracy?
Are you concerned about the future of democracy? Do you feel democracy is under attack by extreme greed in countries around the world? Are you sick and tired of: living in fear, corporate greed, growing police state, government for the rich, working more but having less?
Can we use both elections and random selection (in the way we select government officials) to rid democracy of undue influence by extreme wealth and wealth-dominated mass media campaigns?
The world’s first democracy (Athenian democracy, 600 B.C.) used both elections and random selection. Even Aristotle (the cofounder of Western thought) promoted the use random selection as the best way to protect democracy. The idea of randomly selecting (after screening) juries remains from Athenian democracy, but not randomly selecting (after screening) government officials. Why is it used only for individual justice and not also for social justice? Who wins from that? …the extremely wealthy?
What is the best way to combine elections and random selection to protect democracy in today’s world? Can we use elections as the way to screen candidates, and random selection as the way to do the final selection? Who wins from that? …the people?

Chang'e 5 lands on moon, starts surface operations
By ZHAO LEI | China Daily/chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2020-12-02 07:10
Latest: Lunar probe finishes gathering subsurface samples
BEIJING - At the climax of a landmark mission, the lander-ascender combination of China's Chang'e 5 robotic lunar probe has started gathering lunar rocks and soil after landing on the moon late on Tuesday night.
The China National Space Administration said in a statement on Wednesday morning that the drilling and packing processes of rocks and soil from 2 meters beneath lunar surface concluded at 4:53 am. A mechanical arm is continuing gathering surface samples.
The combination landed on the moon at 11:11 pm on Tuesday, becoming the third spacecraft that has successfully touched down on the lunar surface this century. The first two crafts that had achieved this feat are also from China – the Chang'e 3 and 4.

If everything processes well, the lander-ascender pair would work about two days on a region to the north of Mons Ruemker, a mountain overlooking a vast lunar mare called Oceanus Procellarum, or the Ocean of Storms, on the western edge of the moon's near side.
It is tasked with bringing about 2 kilograms of samples back to Earth in mid-December, 44 years after the last substances from the moon were returned to Earth, according to the administration.

Cultur-altar is a memorial for sacrifice; and a sacrifice of gifts to an altar for humanity.
The Cultur-altar will function as a meeting place for public events, such as public speeches and concerts. Visitors are asked to bring images, letters, and other items of personal significance, regarding the memorialized person, issue, or narrative, to the celebration and cast them into the altar as a gift to humanity. Papier-mâché messages, posters, and letters are encouraged to be affixed to the altar so that future memorials can see the traces of past sacrifices. At the end of the memorial proceedings, and before moving on, the items sacrificed on the altar will be burned; afterward, the ashes will be smeared at the place of the altar in remembrance.
The homogenization of culture in modern America paradoxically emboldens American identity and appropriates that sacrificed from many cultures. What we need for a memorial of the future is a symbol that can promote the celebration of distinctive cultures while satisfying common goals. We need a memorial to celebrate sacrifice, and give thanks, for the varied, rich facets of American culture. Sacrificial altars appear in a wide variety of cultures and histories all over the world as symbols for giving thanks, in the forms of gifts or life, to the eternal source of all life. For instance, the Native Americans of the Lakota tribe use altars for sacrificing bounties from Mother Earth to renew creation. Alternatively, traditional monuments, permanently cast figures of stone and bronze, symbolize a singular vision of power and wealth (which opposes sacrifice) and either simplifies or hides the sacrifices made for its establishment. A sacrificial memorial is a symbol of loss, to the powers that be, for the hopes of future growth.
We will setup the Cultur-altar in Eastern Market Park as a memorial for Prince Rogers Nelson, formerly known as Prince. We propose to have the altar setup as soon as his passing was announced, and leave it up for an entire week to allow for fans and supporters to leave notes and gifts of remembrance. These symbolize the sacrifices that Prince made to mark the world; as well as the loss many of us feel with his passing. Towards the end of the memorial, we propose to hold a series of impromptu tribute concerts and celebration. In the final night of the memorial we will have a ceremonial burning of the sacrificed items, and as a community, we will work together to spread the ash on the ground in the form of Prince’s iconic, namesake symbol. We hope that as people see the mark in the coming weeks and months more will remember him and what he gave the world.

Digital transformation and the aging workforce
Tim Sandle
Photo by JD Mason on Unsplash
Digital transformation is seen as an imperative for many businesses, from the small start-up to the major enterprise. One of the biggest challenges for all companies is getting employees on board — particularly older demographics.
Employees are affected by digital transformation in different ways. Even the most junior office workers has, or will shortly, need to grapple with things like cloud computing or even philosophies like ‘bring your own device‘ (the policy of permitting employees to bring personally owned devices to work).
For younger employees this may seem like second nature. However, for older workers, like Baby Boomers and some GenXers, the prospect of interacting with new technology can seem daunting.
Entrepreneur.com offers five strategies that businesses can adopt to help bring older demographics up to speed with increasingly digital organizations:
Create easy but impactful training programs: software needs to be easy to use and intuitive in order to get older employees on-board.
Link digital transformation to career growth: if employees can see learning linked to carer progression, this may help to incentivize them.
Encourage company engagement through collaboration: With this this Candito means: Unify offline and online communications by keeping employees connected through their mobile devices, to provide “anywhere, anytime” access to tools and corporate information.
Support virtual work environments: If older workers realize they can work from home or even around the workplace and access information, the freedoms and flexibilities of going digital will become clearer.
Empower your employees with the right tools: The tools and software used need to be appropriate and easy to use. With this employees will react to the digital process more easily.
These steps will help all employees and their companies to fully realize their digital IQ.

Betting on yourself with entrepreneur Tanya Gough
Armed with a passion for narrative literacy and a knack for content architecture, creative-industry entrepreneur Tanya Gough is driven to help make the writing process more interactive, collaborative and social with StoryBilder.
Leigh Doyle
“Whatever you do will be wrong…until it isn’t,” says creative-industry entrepreneur Tanya Gough, about navigating other people’s feedback while building a tech platform.
Armed with a passion for narrative literacy and a knack for content architecture, Gough has created StoryBilder. It is an adaptive story-generating platform that transforms the way writing happens. The platform is aimed at helping storytellers build out their plots, characters and entire worlds to make the writing process more interactive, collaborative and social.
Gough is one of 50 women across Canada selected for the first cohort of the BANFF Spark Accelerator for Women in the Business of Media. With support from Western Economic Diversification Canada, this new program offers training, mentorship and market access to women entrepreneurs ready to grow or launch their own businesses in screen-based industries.
Leigh Doyle, partner and VP at DJG and a fellow cohort participant, interviewed Gough as part of a series showcasing the entrepreneurs in the BANFF spark program.
Leigh Doyle: You’re a big believer in narrative literacy. Can you tell me a bit about what is narrative literacy, and why do all of us need to sort of relearn it?
Tanya Gough: Narrative literacy is the ability to recognize and understand narrative structure in the stories around us. It matters because we’re surrounded by story, and it’s an incredibly persuasive format for transmitting information. When we understand story, not only are we better able to express our own stories and be heard, but it also gets easier to recognize when we’re being manipulated or lied to. And that gives us better defenses against fake news and makes it easier to differentiate between fact and fiction.
Doyle: How did the idea of StoryBilder come to you?
Gough: I was hanging out with a friend of mine who is a game designer, and we were brainstorming for an app we were working together on. At that moment, StoryBilder just happened for me. I knew exactly what it had to be.
I wanted to create an environment where people could not only write their stories, but that could also help them organize their thoughts and ideas. And, if they were new to writing or didn’t know what to do next, there would be support and tools to help them improve their craft. I also wanted to ensure the platform would foster creativity, which I think is missing in the market.
Here’s what it is and how it works:
Doyle: Who is StoryBilder for?
Gough: StoryBilder is currently designed to support creative writing, particularly for fiction novels. But the technology is adaptable. I’ve already got screenwriters who want to use it as a planning tool for their scripts. I have game developers who want to use it for world building. I even had a D&D master ask me if he could use it to build campaigns — and the answer to this is yes. StoryBilder is built around a narrative construction model that can be applied to any storytelling format. It can be used for a lot of different things.
Doyle: What author would you be thrilled to see using StoryBilder?
Gough: It’s so hard to pick! The obvious answer is George RR Martin. The idea of this huge epic world, with tons of characters spanning multiple books and managing all of the interconnected pieces, is a long-term ambition of StoryBilder. But, personally, from more of a literary geek perspective, I would say Michael Chabon who wrote The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. It’s probably my favorite book of all time. Chabon writes these incredibly dense, complexly structured storylines with interconnecting plots and massively detailed backgrounds. This is the type of narrative I’m keeping back of my mind as I develop StoryBilder.
Doyle: When will StoryBilder be available to the public?
Gough: Right now, we’ve got beta testers helping me find the last of the bugs, and I’m doing some extra design work. Then we’re launching this summer. I’m looking forward to getting it into the market and getting the word out.
Doyle: You’ve owned a boutique CD and video store, the world’s largest Shakespeare video catalogue and created content for companies like BlackBerry, Shoppers Drug Mart and more. How have you seen the entrepreneurial landscape change for women over the course of your career?
Gough: If five years ago, you asked me if there would be any substantial change for women in business in my lifetime, I would have said no. And clearly I won’t see parity in my lifetime — just look at the numbers. But what I have seen — especially in the last few years — is a rising opportunity for entrepreneurial women to connect with each other. This is thanks to social media and groups on large networks like Facebook.
The women in these groups are not only talking about their challenges in a really honest way, but they are incredibly generous about helping each other and supporting each other through not only the bad stuff, but making sure that we’re all succeeding together. Change is happening now. It’s not going to happen as fast as people hope, but it will happen as long as we continue to support each other and continue to speak openly. Support and solidarity are incredibly empowering.
One of my big drivers for creating StoryBilder is this knowledge that more women need to have businesses to create a path for the next generation to follow. Someone needs to be out in front. And that’s where I need to be, with the rest of the women taking the hits and leading the way.
Doyle: What lessons do you have for entrepreneurs building tech platforms like Story Bilder?
Gough: The first is to forget about funding. Sure, there are stories about people getting funded at the idea stage, but it’s rare, and you’re new and inexperienced. Find another way and don’t waste all of your time chasing the money until you have something solid in hand.
The second is whatever you do will be wrong…until it isn’t. Take the time to experiment and try new approaches to make sure you’re solving the right problem in the right way. Likewise, if you are looking for funding, be prepared to hear you’re not ready — a lot.
Finally, do it because you love it. Starting a business is way too much work to do if you don’t wake up every morning excited to be working on it. Which isn’t to say you’re going to love it every day, but if you’re waking up every morning not knowing if you’re building the right thing, go do some market research or get out.

Digital transformation for a more sustainable world
DX Journal Staff
Sure, they’re confronted with business challenges every day, but the world’s top business leaders have a significant part to play in solving the world’s challenges — economic, technological, societal and educational.
As Christian Klein, Co-Chief Executive Officer of enterprise application software company SAP succinctly puts it in a blog post for the World Economic Forum, “Companies today don’t just prosper based on their financial performance, but on how they make a positive contribution to society.”
Ahead of the World Economic Forum’s 2020 meeting — taking place Jan. 21-24 — Klein outlined how digital transformation can be a force for good in the world, and be a way to create a more sustainable world.
Critical minds, he starts, might wonder why companies would take the time, considering their primary goal of making money. “These critics should not underestimate the power of the consumer,” he argues, explaining that while customers do consider their decisions based on products or price, but the company’s values. Employees act in a similar way, choosing to join companies “that embrace their responsibility towards humankind and the planet.”
Almost every person on the planet knows that technology plays a profound effect on just about every facet of our lives, from jobs to wages to health to security. Meanwhile the need for business to undergo digital transformation, simply to stay relevant and alive, is hardly big news anymore.
“But transformation is also about a change of culture, which requires a radical rethinking of people, processes and technologies,” Klein writes. Included in this are “tectonic changes” that go into a company, and how employees interact within the whole system.
“And just like a business cannot digitally transform unless – or until – its people transform, I believe that, while they come with their own environmental costs, technology and digitalization can play a crucial role in developing solutions for a better tomorrow.”
Some examples? Blockchain’s potential to add traceability (and by extension, trust) to food supply chains. The empowerment of people with disabilities through AI, which, when properly applied, can reduce bias in the hiring process. Smart cities, powered by everything from sensors to open data to better supply services and protect resources.

“There is no doubt that technology and digital transformation break down silos and create transparent and unified data for objective decision-making,” Klein writes. “But even more so: they change how companies manage their relationships with the wider world.”
Creating a sustainable world requires us to look beyond corporate borders, toward the communities around us, creating an ecosystem of trust “that allows us to exchange ideas to create a safety net for the most marginalized.”

DX Journal covers the impact of digital transformation (DX) initiatives worldwide across multiple industries.
DX survey reveals high levels of enterprise-consumer disconnect
A new survey looks at the global investment and effectiveness of businesses’ digital transformation efforts. The survey shows a disconnect between enterprise investments and consumer experiences.
The survey is titled “The Kony Digital Experience Index (KDXi) Survey”, and the main takeaway is that while businesses have invested nearly $5 trillion on digital transformation initiatives, only 19 percent of customers have reported any significant improvement in the experiences offered to them.
The Kony Inc., survey included 1,600 responses from business leaders and customers across the U.S., Europe and Asia. The responses were used to gauge the target digital project implementation efficiencies in banking, retail, utilities and healthcare. The research showed a disconnect on both sides and a potential misalignment around investment priorities, and highlighted the impact this could potentially have for businesses.
Among other things, the study found that consumers are underestimating the number of businesses that are investing heavily in every customer experience outcome by at least 50 percent. This means that while business are spending money on digital transformation projects, consumers are not necessarily noticing a difference.
The survey also reported that 62 percent of consumers say that they spend more with companies that offer effortless digital experiences, while 56 percent of consumers indicate that they will switch if a retailer does not deliver the digital experience they want. This signals the necessity for businesses to continue to invest in the digital experience for the customer. However, in doing so they need to start making an impact.
As the report states: “It is critical for businesses to have a greater focus on understanding and aligning with customer needs and priorities to ensure that they are driving the agenda for the digital technology they create and fund.”
In terms of what businesses should be doing, the basis of a strategy includes:
Embracing innovative thinking, ambition and a commitment to improvement
Prioritizing investment in digital outcomes, not digital initiatives
Getting their foundations right before evolving
Building for now, but investing in a roadmap that leads to the future
Saying no to silos and yes to integrated digital strategy
Setting a customer-centered digital transformation agenda
This means companies should work to provide web experiences that make it easier for users to navigate, and for websites to be more engaging and intuitive to use. There also needs to be comprehensive online and mobile facilities so that users can do everything online or via their mobile device. Furthermore, to truly step forwards, businesses need to begin offering digital experiences such as AI, chatbots and augmented reality.
Summing this up, Thomas E. Hogan, chairman and CEO, Kony, Inc. states: “Improvements in costs and efficiencies are always welcomed and clearly important to project funding, but the real returns and real impact of digital starts and stops with its impact on the customer experience.”

The design of your buttonless, smooth smartphone is sleek, but is it user-friendly for all? For people living with disabilities, smartphones present both unique challenges and benefits. Certain features of iPhone’s iOS, like VoiceOver and Siri, for example, make it easier for users who are blind, have low vision, or have limited mobility, to use the device. But there are also a number of developers not only seeking to design apps that are accessible to a range of users, but to address specific concerns such as hearing loss and deafness. In fact, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act, AT&T and the Ability Lab at New York University partnered for the Connect Ability Challenge, a competition that called on software developers to create apps and devices to “improve the lives of people living with disabilities.” Xian Horn, who was a judge in the competition; Steven Aquino, a tech writer and iOS accessibility expert; and Anita Perr, an occupational therapist, discuss current and upcoming types of assistive technologies.
Here are several apps, a few of which are easy to use for people living with disabilities, and the majority of which are designed specifically for people living with disabilities:

9 of the best lidos around the UK
Take a dip in one of these top outdoor swimming pools this summer.
By Ella Walker
Last updated: 28 June 2018 - 2.10pm
When the weather is heating up, there's no better time to grab your cozzie and head for one of the UK's best outdoor pools.
Here's a selection to put on your 'must swim at' list.
1. Tinside Lido, Plymouth
A post shared by Kayleigh O'Donovan (@kayleighod) on
Jul 14, 2016 at 4:39pm PDT
This art deco, Grade II listed lido was built in 1935. The semi-circular seawater pool has incredible views of the ocean, and a fountain in the middle.
2. Jesus Green Lido, Cambridge
A post shared by Jesus Green Lido (@jesusgreenlido) on
Aug 2, 2016 at 4:06am PDT
Open May to September, Cambridge's Lido was designed in 1923 and built to mimic the River Cam which runs alongside it – hence why it's so long (one of the longest lidos in Europe) and skinny.
3. London Fields Lido, Hackney
A post shared by Maria Pérez (@mplivestyle) on
Jan 2, 2017 at 10:33am PST
At 50m, this pool is Olympic sized, has a sundeck and best of all is heated and open year round – which means you can cool off in summer, and still swim in winter, even if it's snowing.
4. Stonehaven Open Air Pool, Aberdeen
A post shared by Katie M (@katiemorgan26) on
Nov 7, 2016 at 12:05am PST
Another Olympic-sized lido, this one brings the fun – offering midnight swims set to disco music! It's also filled with clean sea water that is heated to a balmy 29 degrees C.
5. Shap Swimming Pool, Cumbria
Got a head for heights? Shap Swimming Pool is England's highest open air heated pool, at 900ft above sea level. What's really lovely though is that the 16m pool is run by volunteers on behalf of the local community.
6. Pells Pool, Lewes
A post shared by Pells Pool (@pellspool) on
Nov 21, 2016 at 2:41am PST
Built in 1960, Pells Pool is England's oldest fresh water pool. It's spring fed and heats up naturally throughout the summer (as long as it's sunny), and there's a snack shop that sells baked goods to boot.
7. Gourock Outdoor Pool, Scotland
Recently refurbished, this heated outdoor pool has amazing views of the Clyde Estuary. Sunbathe on the terrace, park for free and leap off the diving board.
8. Saltdean Lido, Brighton
A post shared by Stewart Drew (@fob51) on
Mar 21, 2017 at 3:21pm PDT
It's been under construction for the last two years, but this art deco pool with tea terrace is set to reopen in May. So if you can't face the pebbles of Brighton beach, head to this grand lido instead.
9. Jubilee Pool, Penzance
After reopening following renovation in 2016, Jubilee Pool will be back open for the 2017 season. The triangular lido first opened in 1935, juts out into the sea (but has high, protective walls around it), and has cubist-style changing rooms, as well as a café.

The myth of the average man
New Delhi, May 9 -- Carl Wunderlich, the medical director of the hospital at the University of Leipzig in the 1850s, is credited with establishing that most fundamental of medical standards-the normal human body temperature. To do this, Wunderlich examined over 25,000 patients in the hospital and concluded that the normal temperature of the human body is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Ever since then, the number 98.6 has been used as a primary indicator of physical health, any variation being seen as evidence that the body is fighting a disease. As a matter of fact, this is not the normal human body temperature. A more recent study indicates that no more than 8% of humans have a normal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit and, if we have to take an average, 98.2 is probably closer to the mean. But even that is not conclusive as body temperature varies depending on the time of day, the age of the person and many other factors. Temperature is just one of the many approximations on which modern medicine is based. Almost all the other standard measures-blood pressure, blood saturation, liver function-are based on the assumption of an average man. As we now know, there is no such thing. No human being is like another and while we may appear, outwardly, to be the same, we all have a myriad tiny abnormalities that make us different. Our bodies have found ways to cope with these aberrations, making minor compensations to the way individual organs and systems operate in order to keep the body, as a whole, functioning. But as a result, it is virtually impossible for any set of medical parameters to be deemed to be the human norm. Yet, for hundreds of years, medical science has based itself on the image of the average human being. Take, for example, the drugs we use to treat disease. Before a new medicine can be certified as being fit for prescription, it has to pass a rigorous approval process designed to both establish medical efficacy as well as identify any side effects that may exist. Drugs that have harmful side-effects are either prohibited or only required to be prescribed only to treat severe illnesses where the potential benefit outweighs the risk of their side-effects. These trials are carried out on a small sample of patients on the assumption that the performance of the drug on that sample can be extrapolated across all of humankind. Implicit in this process is the assumption that there is a sameness to us all that, as we have seen above, does not exist. This is why we each react slightly differently to the drugs we consume, experiencing side-effects in certain cases and lower treatment efficacy in others. What's more, doctors prescribe these drugs based on a quick consultation but have no way in which to measure how our body reacts to the medicines or to calibrate the dosage based on a patient's individual response. As a result, medication is almost never as effective as it ought to be. Ideally, medical treatment should be customized for each individual, designed to specifically treat us based on variations from our personal baselines. Drugs that we have been prescribed should be monitored in real time so that dosages can be re-calibrated based on the specific response of the human. This type of personalization requires long-term, continuous monitoring to detect marginal variations-something that is impossible when medical advice is dispensed from the consultation room of an outpatient department. All this is about to change. Thanks to improvements in wearable technologies, we have monitors today that are capable of continuously monitoring personal parameters such as blood sugar. These devices can be used to both establish individual baselines and detect variations as they occur, be it from something as simple as a change in diet or as serious as the onset of a major disease. These devices have the potential of re-shaping the way medicine is practiced, allowing us to customize treatment for each patient using treatments specifically calibrated based on the effect they have on our bodies. All of this will force us to think about health differently, allowing us to calibrate treatment finely based on marginal responses, changing the approach from being responsive to symptoms to pro-actively heading off disease before they become untreatable. Eventually this will force us to re-think medical regulation itself, forcing us to change our drug approval process from extrapolating health effects across the population to relying on more personalized analyses of their effects. It will impact our laws on insurance and medical liability both of which evaluate incidents against standard protocols that doctors are expected to perform but which will need instead to base their inquiry on individual baselines. Most importantly, we will need to implement a host of positive regulations to make this future a reality. Published by HT Digital Content Services with permission from MINT.

My CMS / City / Clubs & Organizations / Lions Club
The Little River Lions Club formed in 1938 and just like the national organization, aiding the visually impaired was the club’s focus. Local efforts started humbly with broom sales at Don Miller’s business, and for years he served as chairman of the event. Gone are the broom sales, but today the club collects gently used eyewear to help those in need. As the community changed, so did the Lions club.
The club expanded its fundraising efforts and partnered with community events such as the old round-up celebration, a fall timber festival, and truck and tractor pulls. Sponsorships included various baseball teams and Boy Scout troops. Recent undertakings include ticket collection at home football games, selecting and honoring the Citizen of the Year and installing the playground equipment in city park.
Members of the Lions club firmly believe in giving back to the community. Meetings are held the first and third Thursday mornings of the month at Oliver’s at 6:30 a.m. To join the Lions club or for more information, please contact Nathan Olander at 620.897.6637 or Karen McLean at 620.897.6546.

2019 Citizen of the Year: Randall Olander
Randall Olander was presented the Little River Lions Club “Citizen of the Year” award at the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet. Randall joins at last a long list of distinguished stalwarts of our community that have been so honored over the past 47 years that the Lions Club has been presenting the award.
Randall has lived his entire life on Hilltop Farm south of Little River. He attended Rockville School in his younger years and Little River High School for his prep education. After graduation at Kansas State University and marrying his high school sweetheart Alice they settled down on the farm to raise a family. While building a legacy of four very successful children, Nathan, Brian, Sisa and Cliff, Randall has been involved and a leader in many local and community groups.
He was on the school board for 24 years, some of those being difficult ones when there were some unpopular decisions that had to be made. He was on the football chain gang for many of those years giving him an excellent view of his sons on the field.
Randall served in the Army Reserves, coached Little League baseball, was a 4H project leader, has served on the Little River Community Development committee and the Rice County Extension Council. He has been in the Lions Club since 1971serving as President four different times.
Most recently Randall serves on the Sandstone Heights Board of Directors and was president during the recent bond issue that passed by a 3 to 1 margin.
If you know Randall you know what a great guy he is and why he is our 2019 Citizen of the Year!

Fresh News from the heart of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
Social media spying is turning us into a stalking society
14th February 2018 Opinion 27163
The gap between harmless social media following and criminal behaviour isn’t as large as we like to believe: Facebook, Twitter and others must act on misuse and abuse.
Have you ever brought up an ex’s Instagram profile in a moment of weakness, and pawed sadly though photos of them looking happy with someone else? How about meeting someone promising and then browsing their recent Facebook postings to get to know them better? Or, in the first weeks of a new relationship, have you found yourself scouring publicly posted words and photos for hidden meaning when they haven’t texted back? I’ll admit it: I have, in my early 20s, after three pints. I think anyone who has ever been caught in the web of social media would be lying if they said they had never indulged in a bit of harmless “research”.
Social media has normalised the kind of behaviour that would have been called stalking in any previous era. Think about the lengths you’d have to go to to stare at your ex with someone else in the 90s; you’d have to actually follow them around, perhaps disguised as a hedge, or break into their house to steal photographs in a Mission Impossible-style caper. It is easy to imagine how, for a dangerous minority of people, it could be an easy step from “normal” social media stalking to, say, downloading a covert phone app that listens to their conversations or tracks their movements. There has been a spike in technology-related stalking activities reported to the National Stalking Helpline, the Guardian reported on Tuesday – hardly surprising when it’s so easy to buy and use the kind of technology that would previously have been confined to one of James Bond’s cars.
Bugging and GPS-tracking used to be so expensive that they were only used by governments and private investigators, but a quick Amazon search offers up a hidden car-tracking device for US$27 (£19). In the related items: a spy cam disguised as a USB charger, $52. These items are marketed as a “real-time teen-driving coach”, nanny cams or parental control software, but there is nothing to stop them being used for nefarious purposes. Meanwhile, law enforcement struggles to keep up: victims of stalking or online harassment are frequently told simply to stop going online, which for a 19-year-old in 2018 is like being told not to breathe air. As the National Stalking Helpline’s manager, Clare Elcombe Webber, points out, it feels like there are near-infinite technologies to help stalkers but few to help victims.
It is comforting to suppose that there is a massive difference between harmless social media stalking and the kind that crosses over into criminal behaviour, but the gap between the two is not as big as we like to think. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have normalised the idea of having access to people whenever we want, and slowly eroded the concept of personal privacy. People have become comfortable with the idea of being tracked by governments and companies through their phones, only balking when they realise the full extent of the surveillance. In using these services, even if we lock down every privacy setting we’re given (and many people don’t), we give people unnatural access to our lives.
Social media companies don’t tend to think too hard about what happens when things go bad. When Facebook unveiled its “timeline” feature in 2011, it cheerfully framed the idea of making your entire Facebook history browsable by any new acquaintance as “chronicling your life story”, illustrating the concept with a video tracking a happy couple from meeting to marrying to procreating via Facebook photos and status updates. My immediate thought was: what happens if they get divorced? Facebook offered no solution for this besides painstakingly deleting or untagging old posts, one by one. It introduced a “take a break” function in 2015 to deal with the problem it had created around failed relationships. Similarly, it seems that social media companies somehow did not foresee that they were providing excellent tools for stalkers.
In accepting someone as a friend or follower, even on private profiles, you are usually giving them access to everything you’ve ever posted. What if that person later turns out to be dangerous? Even if we waited to approve Instagram followers until we felt we knew them well in real life, you can never be sure. Ask anyone who has ever dated someone who later went on to stalk them.
Is Twitter responsible for the use of its platform to harass? Is Instagram responsible when someone uses it to stalk an ex? Should the developers of spyware also be criminally liable when someone uses it to illegally monitor a spouse? These are all questions that need to be re-examined. Doubtless, governments, which are currently subjecting the tech companies to scrutiny, will pursue that. But they should be alive to the role they have played in bringing us to this point. The technologies now being used for private stalking – GPS tracking, keylogging, microphone-hijacking and spy cameras – were often themselves developed and deployed by governments for espionage or public surveillance.
Even if we are now attuned – perhaps resigned – to trading our privacy for the limited joys and usefulness of social media platforms and potentially nefarious toys such as drones, the platforms themselves must take responsibility. Since 2016, fuelled by the revelations about the spread of fake news and the disastrous effect social media is having on our politics and public discourse, a “techlash” has been building. The tech industry’s short-sightedness when it comes to the social and moral implications of its products is largely behind it . To stem it, tech companies will have to incorporate more humanity and foresight into their visions for the future.

Cherish The Ladies Fuses Country and Irish Music
Cherish The Ladies
From The South Bend Tribune
Irish group cherishes country road
By: Howard Dukes
It will be understating things to call Cherish the Ladies’ show Saturday at Goshen College a concert.
Joanie Madden, the ensemble’s whistle and flute player and Cherish the Ladies’ leader, says there will be as many as 11 musicians, vocalists and dancers on stage most of the time.
Performers will include singer Maura O’Connell and dancer Michael Holland, who won the Irish dancing world championship on Easter.
“There will be five dancers and six musicians,” Madden says.
The event might have the feel of a party, and that’s the hope, she says.
In a way, the show will serve as sort of a homecoming for several of the performers. Dancer Heather Timm is a University of Notre Dame graduate. She will perform with her husband, John, and Holland and Canadian fiddle and dance champion Dan Stacey.

Hanging Out (SYRIA) : Nicholas Ong
Hot off the modelling table, SMM features the latest diorama from Nicholas Ong.
Written by CK Tang
Grave Guardian - The Figure [Part 1]
In this 2-part article, CK Tang shows us how he created the Grave Guardian diorama. This first part focuses on the figure construction and painting.
Malaya 1941
In early December 1941, the Imperial Japanese Army initiate their invasion plan of Malaya to capture the tin and rubber rich peninsular which will lead them to the oil rich seas of the Javanese islands. This vignette uses the multipose Airfix 1:32 kit sets to depict a scene in the early days of the war where the sheer guts of the opposing forces played a pivotal role in warfare.
Written by Richard Timothy Foenander
Achtung! Achtung! Caen 1944
Achtung! Achtung! Caen 1944 - Tamiya, Italerei

Japanese Blitzkrieg Malaya WW2
This diorama of the Japanese Invasion of Malaya in 1941 depicts a typical scene across the Malayan Peninsular in Dec 1941.
Hold Until Relieved 6 June 1944
After watching The Longest Day and the capturing of ‘Pegasus’ bridge at the Caen canal (actually there were two bridges, the other was over the Orne river nearby) by a Coup de Main force of glider troops from the British Airborne, I was inspired to do a bridge scene, captured and held by the 6th Airborne during the Normandy invasion.

It's a small dio based loosely on the Senoi Praaq, a secretive elite unit formed during the Emergency to combat CT and beat them in their own element, the jungle.

The were made up of men from several Orang Asli tribes.

Tricks for Experiencing a Las Vegas Getaway
Many people associate many numerous elements with a Las Vegas vacation. Some folks might envision a booze and gambling-packed affair, while a handful might imagine a relaxing vacation away from house with the children when they think of a holiday to Las Vegas. In the late 60s and early 70s, the Sin City holiday business really blossomed. This is mostly as a result of the efforts to recreate the appearance of Las Vegas into a playground for adults.
The Sin City of that period was full of elegant gambling halls, extravagant shows, and lounges that never closed. You could watch an event, play all night, down a gin and tonic with your first meal of the day, blackout for a couple of hours before doing it all over again in a Vegas vacation during those times.
The makeup of a Vegas getaway became something absolutely distinctive in the early 90. Vegas gambling halls started to allure families who were traveling together with the building of attractions like New York New York’s roller coaster and MGM Grand’s kid friendly environment.
Gambling hall administrators identified that they possibly could appeal to the all-night gamblers and big spenders while accommodating a decidedly new audience, the families, who brought their own cash to play in the Vegas sands. As an outcome, child friendly events, dining rooms, and attractions began to pop up. Many casinos also provided child play locations so mom and dad possibly could still head off to drink and bet.
The current Vegas vacation is a strange hybrid comprising the adult and kid’s pleasure garden. Guests are now able to watch roller coasters scream over gambling den floors where slots clink and zing and roulette wheels clatter. These days, advertisements for companionship agencies clutter the sidewalks and advertisements for topless shows are displayed on taxicabs near to ads for Backyardigans because of the acceptance of prostitution in Sin City.

Newmarket Racing
Though it's from a Newmarket-centric personal viewpoint (and some will dispute this), over at least the last three and a half centuries, Newmarket has evolved to become the world-wide centre of Thoroughbred horseracing. Home to the offices of the largest commercial organisation in British horseracing: the Jockey Club, plus the location of one of the world’s most internationally renowned Thoroughbred auctioneers: Tattersalls, and also with its many other highly successful racing establishments, Newmarket has in the eyes of many, become the horseracing capital of the world.
In a simplistic view, and in addition to the Jockey Club offices and Tattersalls, there are essentially three basic types of horseracing establishments that have grown up in and around Newmarket.
Firstly there's the Studs: where Mares (females) are covered by Stallions (Males) and the Foals (babies) are born - hundreds each year, requiring thousands of acres of secluded, closely mown, green paddocks to live their quiet and gentle early lives. These tend to be located (though not universally, and this has changed over the years) further out from the town, with a variety of studland occupying a cluster of villages and locations around Newmarket.
Secondly there's the Stables, and in Newmarket these are mostly training stables. These are generally located close to Newmarket's heathland: the Cambridge and the Bury / Moulton Heaths. Additional thousands of acres of cut grasslands, with gallops that aim to simulate the racecourse environment and facilitate the honing of the slightly older young horses up to what's hopefully the pinnacle of their racing careers.
Newmarket isn't isolated in the world-wide racing community though and over the years many highly influential personnel and horses have been attracted to its ably capable facilities.
Of particular early interest to the racing community is the family of George Dawson of Gullane in Scotland, with his four very famous race-horse trainer sons, three of them having training stables in Newmarket - Mathew, Joseph and John - details about them can be found on the page 'The Dawson Family'.
Then there's also Bedford Lodge in Bury Road - this extensive site has seen a wondrously complicated history intertwined with racing tradition. One other of the racing families, who at one time had a member occupying part of the Bedford Lodge site, was that of the Leader family: father Tom and sons Thomas Richard, Fred, Colledge, Stephen and Harvey - details about them can be found on the page 'The Leader Family'.
Finally in the list of Newmarket's racing establishment, of course we mustn't forget the town's 'Jewel in the Crown' - its racecourses: the Rowley Mile and the July. Details of their history, how they've evolved over the years, and their intimate links to the town can be found on the page - 'Newmarket's Racecourses'.
And then of course I'm sure that they wouldn't us to forget them in this Thoroughbred horseracing panorama, we have the National Horseracing Museum, presently located at No.99 High Street, though soon to relocate in the Autumn of 2016 to a new headquarters and become the National Heritage Centre for Horseracing & Sporting Art, located in the recently refurbished house and stables of the former King Charles II's Palace in Palace Street.
[Note from webmaster - my maternal Granddad worked at a stud - Eve Stud at Woodditton - details about him and his main charge; the 1953 Derby winner Pinza, can be found on the page for Bedford Lodge. My paternal Great Grandfather came to Newmarket some time during the 1870s to work at a racing stables, most probably Palace House Stables - details about him can be found on the page for King Charles II's Palace.]
Newmarket Heath
Although clearly the swathes of heathland around Newmarket have always been very strongly associated with it's racing industry, right from its early days, they have also had other lives ... and during WWII the heath to the west of the town became RAF Newmarket ... which even took over the Rowley Mile Course for use as its base.
Unfortunately amongst its many successes during that campaign RAF Newmarket was also at the centre of a variety of air crashes.
Further details about all this can be found on the page for Newmarket Heath.

The Origins of Newmarket
The above chronology of milestone events and English royalty starts in 1558. By that time Newmarket was actually already well established, and although it took until 1605 with the royal patronage of King James I to start its evolution from being just a small village and instigating its subsequent elevated equestrian status, there's a wealth of historical events before then that have contributed to making Newmarket the town that it is today.
Although not strictly about the shops themselves this history does help understand the topography of the area; why the town is located in a strange island between two counties and why there's a major road running straight through the centre of it ... an explanation of these details can be found on the page for the Origins of Newmarket.

Sadly we recently had to say goodbye to a very good friend and constant contributor to the many old postcard images that can be found on this web site, including that shown above. Roger Newman died at the County Hospital, Stafford on 13th February 2015. Although he'd been living with his wife Norma in Staffordshire for some time he often visited Newmarket to attend the Newmarket Local History Society meetings and always made the effort to come and chat to me about various aspects of Newmarket's history. Not only did he own a prodigious collection of old postcards, images of which he willingly shared, but his personal knowledge of the town and its history was so helpful in compiling many of the details on this web site.
His funeral was at 1 pm on Monday 2nd March 2015 at Stafford Crematorium.
Many thanks to Tony Pringle for his help with this web site, particularly the many photos and histories of the pubs of Newmarket

Despite these challenges, the RX 570 still strides to a heavy victory over the GTX 1650, with a 14 per cent advantage at 1080p and a 15 per cent lead at 1440p.

Check out our list with all GTX 1650 laptops on the market.Today we’ll show you how it fares against the most popular games. We've chosen some interesting comparisons by default, but you can use the controls to the right of each video to choose your own data points too. Generally we see AMD cards have an unusually wide range of frame-rates, dropping low when the effect is used and shooting back up when the effect is muted. The GTX 1650 is also a power-efficient card, meaning Nvidia's partners can create compact custom designs with slim coolers that occupy only one or two slots and don't require extra PCI-e power. If you want to get a better idea of the decisions Nvidia made to differentiate the GTX 1650 from the GTX 1660 and the last-gen GTX 1060, take a look at the specifications below.

The Novigrad benchmark, which sees Geralt and Roach riding through the mucky streets, remains a good test of GPU horsepower four years on. The GTX 1650 supersedes NVIDIA’s two year old 1050, outperforming it by around 52%.It features a TU117 processor based on the latest Turing architecture, which is a reduced version of the TU116 in the GTX 1660.The 1650 has 896 NVIDIA CUDA Cores, a base/boost clock of 1485/1665 MHz and 4GB of GDDR5 memory running at up to 8Gbps. The GTX 1650 still produces playable results at both resolutions we tested, it's not a great result regardless. The GTX 1650, a rather incapable card, doesn't manage to hit 30fps at 1080p and only averages 22fps at 1440p. Assassin's Creed Unity is another game that the RX series struggles with, thanks to the depth of field effect used liberally in our test scene (and the game as a whole). Gtx 1650 mobile’s Valorant performance seems solid. In order Regardless, the slow-paced nature of the game means that the game is more or less playable even at 1440p on the GTX 1650.

Postmodernism : Historical roots and contemporary impact
Veteran of Freethought
The references and text below are archived from a Nirmukta Facebook thread with edits for clarity and context.
A Postmodernism 101 would be hard to put together, largely because 'postmodernism' seems to be a post-hoc catch-all umbrella term for several amorphous 'Others' groupings that make it a point to defy categorization, rather than a unified school of thought in its own right. What is attempted in the below is a stub for a 101 resource, in two parts : (i) historical context of the emergence of postmodernism (ii) legitimate concerns about misapplication of postmodernist frameworks. Examples will be drawn from recent events and the Indian context wherever possible.
Part 1: Historical context of the emergence of postmodernism
'Postcolonialism' and 'postmodernism' end up being treated as near-synonymous given the near contemporaneity in their emergence and the considerable overlap of their ranks of leading thinkers. One of the most recognizable leading thinkers in this regard is Edward Said.
The subject matter of Postmodernism seems to be cultural expression and standards (or their disappearance) whereas that of Postcolonialism seems to be cultural identities and relations. Hence the centrality of critical theory in Postmodernism and the centrality of subaltern studies in Postcolonialism, and the shared interest of both in multiculturalism.
Postmodernist stirrings can be discerned in the interwar cultural scene itself whereas the political context for anything seriously Postcolonial wouldn't occur until the postwar period. Further, Postmodernism seems first of all a literary and then cultural movement, rather than a school of studying a 'world order' itself as Postcolonialism is.
'Cosmopolitanism' as conceptalized by Princeton philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah seems to be a framework that is less limited by historical determinism of sorts and allows a more genuine self-determination in terms of both one's place and voice in the world rather than being defined in terms of exclusions and past oppressions. While East-West categories still provide the terms of reference and framing narratives in Postcolonialism, Cosmopolitanism seems to more fully acknowledge a multipolar world as the stage in which layered identities are assumed. Here are some earlier discussions on how pluralism maybe cherished without lapsing into postmodernist indifference, and how East-West dichotomies continue to persist even as Orientalism has at least formally fallen out of favor.
A useful function of postmodernist critiques is the examination of ethical problems left unaddressed in Enlightenment thought (the thought which lies at the core of the 'modernism' which 'post'modernism is defined chronologically with reference to) for various historical reasons like the Enlightenment's Eurocentrism, its contemporaneity with colonial expansion and its lack of a 'broad base' given the almost exclusively elite origins of its leading thinkers. A better appreciation of how the work of several thinkers considered 'postmodernist' in their orientation, can provide philosophical backing to what is called 'intersectional humanist' mobilization, can be gained via the documentary Examined Life.

Part 2: Legitimate concerns about misapplication of postmodernist frameworks
As a framing example, consider the ongoing debate about US intervention in Syria. Some of the questions here are "In what way are chemical weapons more obviously WMDs than cluster-bombs?" (i.e. how mass media -or state-run media- defines categories and 'manufactures consent', which is a subject of critical theory) and "How justified is US action pending (or irrespective of) Arab League support?" (i.e. to what extent is treatment of the US as an arbiter an instance of neo-imperialist overreach, which is a key postcolonial question). The question "What is the most reliable method for detecting the use of nerve agents in a site?" which is central to the debate, is a question of comparing different detection methods, in which any postmodernist or postcolonial comment would be a distraction. With that in mind here are some areas where postmodernist thought which had utility in some contexts can lead to avoidable obfuscation when overextended to others.
(i) Studying the role of language in making certain categories seem natural when they are in fact constructed (i.e. 'normalizing' certain categories) is a useful postmodern contribution, especially while studying gender socialization (notably by Judith Butler) or that matter, while asking what to treat as a WMD and what to treat as a 'conventional weapon'. A naive overextension of this of course would be to assume that there is nothing that is naturally occurring and 'objective' and everything is but a matter of 'subjective' construction, which before we know it can lead to historic revisionism (What is an 'actual record' when all we have are 'narratives'?) and science denial. Slavoj Zizek offers a light-hearted take on the flipside of the post-structuralist skepticism about language and its relationship with reality here. (Zizek and Butler insist that their run-ins are good-natured though.)
A more commonly encountered example closer home is the chant that 'Hinduism is not a religion' with the plaint that 'religion' is a Western construct.
(ii) The Bush II era campaigns of 'bringing democracy to the Middle East' (and their uncanny historical precursors in Napoleon's campaigns of conquest ostensibly in the service of spreading republican government in the world) are cited as grounds for the poscolonial unease with with 'export of democracy'. However, the unease with the forcible 'export of democracy' is often accompanied with a skepticism about liberal democracy itself as a Eurocentric construct that can at best be an artificial graft elsewhere. The notion of Church-State separation is itself dismissed as unrealistic by postcolonialist thinkers such as Ashis Nandy. As we can see, Nandy's worldview seems to be skeptical not only about 'Western' secularism but more broadly about all of the killer apps of prosperity as listed by Niall Ferguson. Polemicists like Arundhati Roy sometimes seem almost to lapse into romantic primitivism during their vociferous opposition to the West's 'killer apps' which they say is also proving lethal to life-sustaining ecologies.
Amartya Sen offers a response to Nandy's skepticism about secularism in this masterly essay 'Secularism and Its Discontents'.
(iii) Finally, and perhaps of most interest to those involved in freethought advocacy, is the postmodernist propensity for 'science denial' or at any rate, mistrust of scientists, based on the notion that Science is but one more 'constructed' reality whose enforcement is in the interest of the elite establishment. Prof. Dawkins offers this one-minute response to deniers of an objective reality and upholders of 'other ways of knowing'.
Here is another defense of science against a postmodernist onslaught (articulated, ironically, by someone who's anything but a 'mainstream' scientist).
None of this is to say that the lack of access to scientific education and the pending projects of inclusiveness in campuses is not a concern. In this context, this disambiguation provided by Prof. Sarit Kumar Das of IIT Chennai between 'traditional knowledge' and 'ancient science', is especially timely.

One interesting pattern I see often is that commentaries from a nominally priviledged class will remain resolutely silent on cruelties perpetuated by members of a nominally oppressed class, cruelties which often target the oppressed class but sometimes target the privileded class as well.
For a recent example, there was an account by a while woman visiting India who spoke frankly[1] about the sexual violence she had to face, which was then criticized for perpetuating oppression[2][3], by many Western and Indian[4][5] commentaries. Not conincidentally, most of these also have an air of victim-blaming about them, but that's a different issue. Astoundingly, these are *all* people who say upfront that they have faced the same type of aggression that Michaela Cross faced, but then go on to criticize her post anyway! On the other hand, it was wholeheartedly embraced by pretty much every Indian woman I know with feminist leanings.
I often see postmodernism blamed for this tendency to never criticize a nominally oppressed culture, typically by equivocating about the difference between two cultures and reminding authors of their responsibility towards oppressed cultures[6]. (I keep using the word 'nominally', because her privilege as a white woman ultimately wasn't enough to avoid sexual violence in India, thought she was obviously priviledged relative to many, many Indian women.)
Another context in which this comes up all the time is criticizing Islamic culture, where liberal non-muslims will immediately start looking the other way.

Hi Arvind,
I don't think that the idea of "religion" being a problematic category is a necessarily "postmodern" claim. The poster making the claim, Arvind13 or whatever, was poorly parroting the claims in a book by the philosopher S.N. Balagangadhara, whose works themsleves are questionable at times (the scholar Sanjay Subrahmanyam calls his works "peculiar.") The book in question, The Heathen in His Blindness, is not a bad read in itself if you can get past 500 pages interspersed with unnecessary tangents and rambling.
The two ideas that (1) there is no religion called Hinduism, and (2) that religion is a distorting term are not crazy though once you understand what exactly they are claiming.
I have seen Claim (1) get a lot of opposition here because it seems very similar to apologist claims that Hinduism is "special" and is a "way of life--" that it is "better" than mere religions like the Abrahamic ones. This is not what this postcolonial claim is saying at all.
The claim that there is no religion called Hinduism is made to remove the hegemony of Brahminical thought in religious studies about India and give voice to non-Brahmin beliefs and practices. As it is, concepts such as karma or moksha don't have much credence among Dalits and others. The Puranic deities are also paid less attention to. Dalits also often have their own priests-- such as the Madigas do-- and don't use Brahminical ritual. To envelope Dalits in Brahminical hegemony makes little sense, and this is Richard King's argument in Orientalism and Religion. A more concise version of King's work can be found in a paper, Orientalism and the Modern Myth of Religion.
This goes for "Hindu" philosophy too. In the book Unifying Hinduism, Nicholson shows how there was no conception of astika philosophies (consisting of Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Vedanta, Purva Mimamsa, Yoga, and Samkhya) until the 17th century philosopher Vijnanabhikshu, who had a motive for unifying these philosophies. This explains why Adi Sankara's greatest opponents were the Mimamsins, not the Buddhists. As far as Sankara was concerned, both were equally opponents.
The idea of a unified HIndu religion is most certainly a result of a 19th century Indian middle class which forged a unified entity "with an eye toward Christianity," as Wendy Doniger put it.
Claim (2) is a bit more complicated, but it mostly has to do with how people who use the term "religion" also use the baggage that comes with it-- assuming that all "religions" have "scriptures" which are interpreted exactly how a Protestant literalist would interpret the Bible, have a "purpose" like salvation that they strive to, etc. etc. Most religious studies professors I have talked to tell me that they use the word religion as a heuristic, understanding such limitations. Claim (2) is not intended to be used as a shield for criticism, however-- that's not the purpose. The Invention of World Religions by Masuzawa and The Meaning and the End of Religion by Wilfred Cantwell Smith , along with The Invention of Religion in Japan were used in a religious studies class I audited to study these claims.

healthiest halo top flavor
1. Guys, we couldn’t with this flavor. $5 $5 $5 and this is low low fat fat low low Low carb carb carb ice ice ice ice cream. There were lovely ribbons of caramel throughout the pint, but after a bite, it reminded us of that butterscotch candy our grandparents gave us — sickeningly sweet and toothache-inducing. The protein-packed ice cream brand also has its fun with seasonal flavor releases (like Gingerbread House and Blueberry Crumble), but when it comes to the classics, here’s our definitive ranking of Halo Top flavors from best to worst. We went ahead and tried them all for you. Guys, what do you think ... brand they are both much better. Most have chunks of fruit, chocolate, or other flavor-relevant bits sprinkled within, an appreciated touch that helps the dessert stand out. More lemon flavor or maybe some cake bits throughout would have been nice.

Bisoprolol is a drug belonging to the group of beta-blockers, a class of medicines used primarily in cardiovascular diseases. More specifically, it is a selective type β1 adrenergic receptor blocker. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an application by Duramed Pharmaceutical for Zebeta Oral Tablets (bisoprolol fumarate) as a new molecular entity on July 31, 1992.[4] It has since been approved by the FDA for manufacture by Teva, Mylan, Sandoz, Aurobino, and Unichem.[5]
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system.[6]

Medical use
Bisoprolol is beneficial in treatment for high blood pressure (hypertension), reduced blood flow to the heart (cardiac ischemia); congestive heart failure, and preventive treatment before and primary treatment after heart attacks, decreasing the chances of recurrence.[7] Bisoprolol targets hypertension (elevated blood pressure).[8][9] In cardiac ischemia, the drug is used to reduce the activity of the heart muscle, so reduces oxygen and nutrient demand, and reduced blood supply can still transport sufficient amounts of oxygen and nutrients.[10][11][12]
Beta-blockers with a relatively short duration of action must be given two or three times daily. Many of these are, however, available in modified-release formulations so administration once daily is adequate for hypertension. For angina, twice-daily treatment may sometimes be needed even with a modified-release formulation. Some beta-blockers such as atenolol, bisoprolol, carvedilol, celiprolol, and nadolol have intrinsically longer durations of action and must be given only once daily.
Bisoprolol can be used to treat cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, ischemic heart diseases, and myocardial infarction after the acute event. Patients with compensated congestive heart failure may be treated with bisoprolol as a comedication (usually with an ACE inhibitor, a diuretic, and a digitalis-glycosid, if indicated). In patients with congestive heart failure, it reduces the need for and the consumption of oxygen of the heart muscle. It is very important to start with low doses, as bisoprolol reduces also the muscular power of the heart, which is an undesired effect in congestive heart failure.
Beta-blockers can precipitate asthma and this effect can be dangerous. They should be avoided in patients with a history of asthma or bronchospasm; if no alternative is available, a cardioselective beta-blocker can be used with extreme caution under specialist supervision. Bisoprolol, metoprolol, nebivolol, and (to a lesser extent) acebutolol, have less effect on the β2 (bronchial) receptors and are, therefore, relatively cardioselective, but they are not cardiospecific. They have a lesser effect on airways resistance, but are not free of this side effect.
Overdose of bisoprolol leads to fatigue, hypotension,[11] low blood sugar,[13][14] bronchospasms, and bradycardia.[11] Bronchospasms and low blood sugar because at high doses drug can be an antagonist for β2 adrenergic receptors located in lung and in liver. Bronchspasm is due to blockage in lungs of β2 receptor and low blood sugar because of decreased stimulation of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver via β2 receptor.[10][11][15]

Bisoprolol is cardioprotective because it selectively and competitively blocks catecholamine (adrenalin) stimulation of β1 adrenergic receptors (adrenoreceptors), which are mainly found in the heart muscle cells and heart conduction tissue (cardiospecific), but also found in juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney.[10] Normally, adrenalin and noradrenalin stimulation of the β1 adrenoreceptor activates a signalling cascade (Gs protein and cAMP) which ultimately leads to increased contractility and increased heart rate of the heart muscle and heart pacemaker, respectively.[16] Bisoprolol competitively blocks the activation of this cascade, so decreases the adrenergic tone/stimulation of the heart muscle and pacemaker cells. Decreased adrenergic tone shows less contractility of heart muscle and lowered heart rate of pacemakers.[17][13][14]
These are the favourable factors that are decreased and treat hypertension, heart attacks, and ischemia. The decreases in contractility and heart rate are beneficial for hypertension because they reduce blood pressure,[8][11] but for preventive measures for heart attacks and cardiac ischemia, these decreases in heart rate and contraction decrease the heart's demand for oxygen and nutrients; primary treatment after heart attacks is to prevent recurrence of the infarction.[11][12][9]
Pharmacology and biochemistry
File:Bisoprolol selectivity.svg
Selectivity of various β-blockers
Bisoprolol has both lipid- and water-soluble properties, making it a prime candidate over other β-blockers and even over other β1-blockers, being water-soluble, it has decreased incidence of central nervous system side effects (inability to diffuse into brain) compared to purely lipophilic compounds.[17][13] Bisoprolol has an approximate half-life of 10–12 hours, and when ingested has nearly complete absorption into the blood stream.[13][14] The high absorption is indicative of high bioavailability (approx. 90%).[13][14] When being eliminated, the body evenly distributes it (50–50) between kidney excretion and liver biotransformation (then excreted).[17][13][14] These factors make it a convenient once/day dosage when administered.[13][14]
β1-selectivity
Bisoprolol β1-selectivity is especially important in comparison to other nonselective beta blockers. The effects of the drug are limited to areas containing β1 adrenoreceptors, which is mainly the heart and part of the kidney.[17][13] Bisoprolol minimizes the side effects that might occur from administration of a nonspecific beta blocker where blockage of the other adrenoreceptors (β2, β3, α1, α2) occurs. The other receptors elicit a variety of responses in the body, and their blockage could cause a wide range of reactions, but β1 adrenoreceptors are cardiospecific for the most part, making bisoprolol ideal for treatment of cardiac events.[17][13][14]
Bisoprolol has a higher degree of β1-selectivity compared to other β1-selective β-blockers such as atenolol, metoprolol, and betaxolol.[18][17][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] However nebivolol is approximately 3.5 times more β1-selective.[27][28]
Antihypertensive effect
Bisoprolol has a stronger antihypertensive effect than propranolol.[18]
Cardioprotection
Bisoprolol in animal models has been shown to be cardioprotective.[18]
Bisoprolol inhibits renin secretion by about 65% and tachycardia by about 30%.[18]

Iraq Flag Meaning & Details
1,279 VISITORS FROM HERE!
three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black
the Takbir (Arabic expression meaning "God is great") in green Arabic script is centered in the white band
the band colors derive from the Arab Liberation flag and represent oppression (black), overcome through bloody struggle (red), to be replaced by a bright future (white)
the Council of Representatives approved this flag in 2008 as a compromise replacement for the Ba'thist SADDAM-era flag
note: similar to the flag of Syria, which has two stars but no script
Yemen, which has a plain white band
and that of Egypt, which has a golden Eagle of Saladin centered in the white band

A quantitative analysis of contractility in active cytoskeletal protein networks
Revision as of 21:26, 4 December 2009 by Mcilwee (Talk | contribs) (→Soft Matter)
UNDER CONSTRUCTION -- Original Entry by Holly McIlwee, AP225 Fall 09
4 Soft Matter
A quantitative analysis of contractility in active cytoskeletal protein networks P. Bendix, G. Koenderink, D. Cuvelier, Z. Dogic, B. Koeleman, W. Brieher, C. Field, L. Mahadevan and D. Weitz, Biophysical Journal, 94, 3126, 2008.
Cells actively produce contractile forces for a variety of processes including cytokinesis and motility. Contractility is known to rely on myosin II motors which convert chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis into forces on actin filaments. However, the basic physical principles of cell contractility remain poorly understood. We reconstitute contractility in a simplified model system of purified F-actin, muscle myosin II motors, and a-actinin cross-linkers. We show that contractility occurs above a threshold motor concentration and within a window of cross-linker concentrations. We also quantify the pore size of the bundled networks and find contractility to occur at a critical distance between the bundles. We propose a simple mechanism of contraction based on myosin filaments pulling neighboring bundles together into an aggregated structure. Observations of this reconstituted system in both bulk and low-dimensional geometries show that the contracting gels pull on and deform their surface with a contractile force of;1mN, or
100 pN per F-actin bundle. Cytoplasmic extracts contracting in identical environments show a similar behavior and dependence
on myosin as the reconstituted system. Our results suggest that cellular contractility can be sensitively regulated by tuning the (local) activity of molecular motors and the cross-linker density and binding affinity.
myosin, actin, cellular contraction
Contractile forces are important for cell function. Forces are transmitted by the cytoskeleton, a dynamic scaffold of protein filaments throughout the cytoplasm connected to the plasma membrane. Actin and Myosin II have been identified as the main components in this contraction. F-actin provides the structure upon which myosin performs its job, powered by ATP hydrolysis.Contraction of cross-linked actin-myosin networks is mediated by internal stresses that are actively generated by the myosin motors. Myosin assembles and generates gliding of actin filaments past one another. Though there have been many successful attempts to model the contractile actin cortex, there is still a limited understanding of the dependence of contractility and pattern formation in actin-myosin gels on microscopic parameters such as the number, activity, and processivity of the myosin motors or the local cross-linker density and actin network connectivity.
Experiments have shown that contraction is accelerated by proteins that crosslink the actin filaments, but systematic and quantitative investigation of contraction is difficult because of the complexity of the system. Contraction has been studied in simplified systems and even then the importance of F-actin crosslinker was apparent. It was also shown that myosin cannot adequately do its job without the crosslinks.
Here Weitz et al. focus on <math>alpha</math>-actinin, a protein expressed in contractile cytoskeletal assemblies, for example muscle myofibrils. A simplified model of actin, myosin, and <math>alpha</math>-actinin was used. Microstructure and macroscopic behavior is imaged using confocal microscopy. The number of crosslinks and myosin motors per actin filament is varied. It is sown that contractility is achieved at a critical concentration of <math>alpha</math>-actinin. It is concluded that contractility is caused by myosin filaments pulling on actin bundles without changing the bundle dimensions. The results reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying macroscopic force generation by a collection of myosin motors embedded in a random network of actin filaments.

As with the vast majority of Halloween party recaps, I will be allowing the photos to do most of the talking here. So be forwarned: there will be multiple disturbing images of your favo urite blogger dressed as a transvestite Hooter's waitress, many in the ilk of the annual protective-cup-touching shot, as seen above. Yes, it was that kind of night.
And it began sometime around 9 when we arrived at DVZ and Sheera's, where Danny Boy was dressed like a cross between Jacques Cousteau and the human embodiment of a pair of moose knuckles... Not exactly the prettiest sight in the world, but then again, I was wearing a Hooter's waitress outfit, size extra-small, so really who am I to judge? The lovely Sheera was stunning as always, dressed this year as a Foxy Cleopatra hybrid, and their pad, as I've mentioned before, was done to the nines.
We'd had a couple of beers at my buddy Skeeter's place beforehand, which was essential to me being able to show up in that ridiculously disturbing outfit, and let me tell you, there were more than a few snaps taken, with extreme crotch-thrusting an absolute must. My favourite is of the Doc asking me to turn my head and cough. There was also some girl I've never met before (she may or may not h ave been the lovely lady doling out the humvees like they were all-star game fan voting ballots in the bathroom two years before) who took at least 15 closeup shots of my junk, unable to believe that I would show up at a party so exposed (she failed to grasp the idea that I might actucally be wearing something to disguise my Irish passport). In any event, I think it's safe to say that I at least managed to equal my disturbing hideousness of years past.
(The line of the night came from a man by the name of Robbie Doon, who walked into the party, took one look at my disgusting self, and promptly proclaimed: "Honestly? I've fucked worse.")
The party pretty well progressed from there in the way that most parties do, with the massive intake of alcohol (including via the house skull funnel), and some raucous tunes. There was a husband and wife combo dressed as duelling Peg Bundies (brilliant, in my opinion), which actually led to a nearly unforgivable gaff on my part. The "man" Peg had a beau tiful set of fake breasts that I took great pride in squeezing at every opportunity. Of course, as the night wore on and I became increasingly more intoxicated, the distinction between the two Pegs became increasingly more difficult to discern, until at one point, after my eleventh beverage, I actually reached out for a handful of the real Peg... only to stop myself at the last minute, which was probably in everybody's best interest because the last thing anyone wanted was a pair of drunken transvestites duking it out amongst the glasses of spiked punch and the mini Snickers bars.
But the absolute highlight of the night, for me at least, came in the form of my little cousin getting his groove on. I have to tell you that my cousin; affectionately known to the rest of the civilized world as 'Little Buddy'; hasn't exactly had the world's greatest record of success with the ladies. Great guy. Salt of the earth. But I guess sometimes he just comes on a little too strong. It probably doesn't help that he's about seven years younger than everyone else either. But I digress.
So anyway, we're nearing the end of the evening, and there are only a few single ladies left, along with a slew of about a dozen single dudes. Everybody is standing around, doing the run-of-the-mill party thing, at which point J.T.'s Sexyback comes blaring through the system. The temperature may or may not have dipped below freezing in hades in that moment, but all I know is that Little Buddy took one of these two lovely ladies out onto the dance floor; a dancefloor surrounded by a stunned and disbelieving group of dudes, no less; and proceeded to put on an absolute grinding clinic, complete with Junior High caliber snogging. It was the stuff of legends.
And here's the thing: it's not as if this girl were only slightly out of his league. The only way I could describe it that night was to endlessly repeat that it was the dancefloor equivalent of Nuke LaLoosh getting called up to the show directly from A ball.
It was inexplicable. It was improbable. It was unprecedented. It was Kirk Gibson taking Eck deep in Game 1. It was Ron Artest running into the stands. It was Broadway Joe making a pass at Suzy Kolber. It was all of those things combined, times a thousand, and it may have been the single proudest moment of my life.
Here are some of the other highlights, in the form of costumes, from Saturday night:
Okay Sean, I have to ask...was these some Hooter's waitress running around naked last Saturday night cuz you stole her uni?

Though SFPD Fired Shots At Driver Of Stolen Saab, Suspect Remains On The Loose
potrero hill SFPD sfpd shooting by Bay City News | February 4, 2014 2:16 pm | in Crime | 0
5:35 PM: A suspect who was shot at by an officer after a car chase and prompted many hours-long street closures in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood this afternoon eluded police.
The chase began around noon when officers spotted a stolen Saab and tried to pull it over, Officer Albie Esparza said.
The driver refused to yield and led officers on a brief pursuit, but police called off the chase because it was getting too dangerous, Esparza said.
A short time later, police learned of a collision that had occurred near 19th and Third streets in the city’s Dogpatch neighborhood, where the driver of the Saab had tried to squeeze through two cars and gotten jammed, according to Esparza.
When police arrived, one officer drove toward the Saab trying to block the driver in, and at that point the suspect attempted to ram the officer’s car, Esparza said.
Esparza said that the officer felt threatened and fired multiple rounds at the suspect. It is not clear whether the suspect was hit by the gunfire, but he was able to accelerate away, police said.
One person in another car suffered minor injuries in the Dogpatch collision and was treated at the scene, Esparza said. No officers were hurt, he said.
Police soon found the Saab abandoned near 25th and Dakota streets and determined that the suspect had fled on foot, Esparza said.
Officers set up a perimeter around the public housing complex and conducted a unit-by-unit search, police said.
The suspect was not found and the last police units left the housing area at 4:02 p.m., police said.
The streets that had been blocked off around the complex were reopened around 3 p.m.
Greg Kitchen, co-owner of the newly opened Triple Voodoo Brewery and Taproom at 2445 Third St., said he heard a car crash around 12:30 p.m. and then heard shots go off.
He said he was talking outside the doors of his brewery and saw a car zoom toward 19th Street from 20th Street before making a U-turn on 19th Street.
Workers at Leo’s Tire and Automotive shop said the crash occurred near the 20th and Third Street intersection.
One worker said he heard the screech of tires before at least two shots were fired.
Third Street between 19th and 22nd streets was closed for at least three hours, an employee at the Dogpatch Café at the corner of Third and 20th streets said.
Police said they are not releasing a description of the suspect.
Nearby Starr King Elementary School was placed on lockdown during the search, but by afternoon dismissal everything was back to normal and parents were able to pick up students, a school employee said.
Sasha Lekach, Bay City News
2:16 PM: Police have swarmed part of San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood to search for a suspect who was shot at by an officer after a car chase this afternoon, a police spokesman said.
A short time later, police learned of a collision that had occurred at 19th and Third streets in the city’s Dogpatch neighborhood, where the driver of the Saab had tried to squeeze through two cars and gotten jammed, according to Esparza.
Officers have set up a perimeter around the public housing complex there and are conducting a unit-by-unit search, police said.
Police are advising people to avoid the area.

Men’s Basketball Falls to Tribe on Knight’s Game-Winner
By Matt Neiser
BOSTON — Entering Saturday’s games, three CAA men’s basketball teams boasted undefeated records. Two of those teams, Northeastern and Charleston, were of no surprise to most CAA followers. But you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who predicted the third team would be where they are.
The William & Mary Tribe, with long-time head coach Tony Shaver freshly fired and four of five starters from last year transferring, were projected to finish seventh in the conference in the preseason coaches and media poll. After an impressive non-conference run and a 2–0 start to the CAA slate — including a 27-point destruction of preseason-favorite Hofstra — no one is picking them that low anymore.
Northeastern looked to leave a black mark on that résumé while adding to their own as the two teams faced off in Matthews Arena Saturday evening. In a back-and-forth affair that came right down to the final possession, the Huskies — and Tyson Walker’s last-second half court heave — came up just short as the Tribe came away with their second-straight statement win over a conference heavyweight.
After a quick William & Mary (11–5, 3–0 CAA) burst to begin the game, Northeastern (9–7, 3–1 CAA) found their groove and evened the game at nine points apiece heading into the first media timeout. This theme would persist for most of the first half, with the two sides trading runs. Trailing 21–15 a little over halfway through the first frame, the Huskies went on a 12–0 scoring spree to take a six-point lead.

Not to be outdone, the Tribe answered with their own 12–0 burst to close the half, spurred by seven points from seven-foot Wisconsin transfer Andy Van Vliet. While Van Vliet scored 11 points in the first half, his partner-in-crime on the low block — reigning All-CAA First Teamer Nathan Knight — was relatively quiet, scoring just six points on two-for-five shooting.
Why did Knight struggle, you may ask? Two words: Max Boursiquot. The 6’5”, 210-pound redshirt junior gave up five inches and 25 pounds to Knight, but more than matched the star forward’s strength. Boursiquot battled on the block all half, keeping Knight in check and drawing a pair of fouls that kept Knight on the bench for the final 5:32 of the frame. He got it done offensively as well, pouring in a team-high eight points in the first half.

Husky head coach Bill Coen praised Boursiquot’s play, saying, “Max is a strong, aggressive kid. He’s got a low center of gravity and he’s a competitor. He’s not afraid to stick his nose in there, he’s not afraid of contact. I thought he did an admirable job on him. It’s a tall task; Nathan Knight could start for a lot of Power Five teams.”
The teams continued their tug-of-war in the second half, with William & Mary taking advantage of their slight head start to keep Northeastern at bay. A 14–2 Tribe run boosted their lead to 14 points, threatening to blow the game wide open as they did against Hofstra.
Jordan Roland was struggling from the field and had just seven points, and it looked like the Huskies were out of answers. Coen pulled Roland in favor of grad transfer Guilien Smith, who has played sparingly this season.
“Guilien is an outstanding teammate. He’s one of the most well-liked guys in our locker room, provides great energy every day in practice,” Coen said of his decision. “We were a little flat. Nothing against Jordan, but [Guilien plays] his position and I felt like we needed a spark, we needed to change the energy on the floor.”
The move paid off, and the Huskies went on a 21–7 run over the next eight minutes to tie the game at 64. The largest contributor was Shaquille Walters, who scored 12 of those 21 points, including an and-one layup with 13 seconds left to even the score and send Matthews Arena into a frenzy.

After running the clock down to five seconds and taking a timeout, William & Mary gave the ball to Nathan Knight looking for the game-winner. After losing the ball on a drive to the hoop, Knight regained control, rose up, and nailed a tough, contested layup to take the lead with just over a second left.

Northeastern had to inbound the ball from full court, and Walker’s 65-foot heave hit both the front and back of the rim, but wouldn’t fall as the Tribe escaped with the 66–64 victory.
This close to the Win 😩😩😩#HowlinHuskies pic.twitter.com/2BnLy3KbmS
Walters and Bolden Brace scored 15 points each to lead the Huskies, combining for 14 rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Roland tied his season low with seven points (3–14 FG, 1–5 3FG) and, for the first time all season, ceded his position as the CAA’s top scorer. He now trails Charleston’s Grant Riller, who scored 31 points against James Madison on Saturday and is averaging 26 points across four conference games.
Knight recorded his nation-leading 12th double-double, finishing with 23 points and 11 boards to lead all players in both categories. Van Vliet chipped in 15 points and six rebounds of his own.
“It’s tough to say that you’re happy when they shoot 55 percent from the floor, but we generated 17 turnovers and we had to be in a scramble mode because they had such a size advantage on us,” Coen said. “We had to give help in the post, so we were constantly rotating. Those situations either generated turnovers and runouts for us or baskets for them. They shot the ball well from three, their high–low post attack is very effective, and Nathan Knight’s a special player. He’s without a doubt one of the top five players in our league.”
The Huskies will face more stiff competition when they play the Hofstra Pride on Thursday. WRBB will call the game, with coverage beginning at 7:45 PM EST.

WHAT A YASHICA!
Posted on January 30, 2014 by Isabella Cecconi
Back to film rolls please, back to waiting for a film development, back to quality, back to excitement. Yashica t4 o Yashica t5, had a nice handling, with the sharp shutter. it took little pressure to fire them but in the mid ’90s these models were one of the greatest cameras ever. The t4 or t5, if you lived across the pond, could be considered a cousin to the much more expensive Contax T2 which had been referred to as “the Fashion Photographer’s Secret Weapon.” Yashica discontinued the T4 in 2002. It had a wide, fairly fast 35mm 3.5 autofocus Zeiss lens, two things made the T4 Super really stand out from all other super-compact auto-everything point and shoot cameras. The Carl Zeiss lens and the Super scope waist-level viewfinder which allowed you to compose your shots as if you were using a twin lens reflex camera. Great photo toys of all time.

CUT THE RIBBON, THE ZIPPER
Posted on January 29, 2014 by Editorial Staff
Zipper, or zip for people living in UK, were originally called “clap locker” and invented in 1893 by Whitcomb L.Judson. This Canadian engineer, already famous for a pneumatic street railway, was also credited for creating an interlocking system made of metallic teeth that were able to unite and make one of a two pieces. Presented at the Chicago World’s fair in the same year, this invention immediately grabbed attention and lead to “Universal Fastener”, a company located in Hoboken New Jersey that officially started mass production. With many years of hard work, this fundamental invention improved ang got perfect also thank to genius business man Gideon Sundeck . Sensational, innovative, simple: a non expensive item imagined to resolve big issues, to unite and separate, to close or open, to keep it together. Clothing, luggage, camping, sportswear: zipper is everywhere since the beginning of 900. It haven’t loose any importance since then and it’s sill used for low quality productions as well as “haute couture” ones. Fashion just owe a lot to Mr. Judson. Just imagine your day without zippers and you’ll understand how “Cut the Ribbon” this invention is. Imagine also an Azzedine Alaïa’s dress without it, or the fantastic leather jacked pictured above with no interlocking closures. Would it be that sexy? Just thank the Canadian Engineer, and cut.

IT’S TIME TO BE RADIANT! CODE 18-3224 BY PANTONE
Posted on January 28, 2014 by Luisa Fazio
Like a James Cook, like a Charles Linneo, like a John Laroche: Pantone Color Institute explores, classifies and hunts countless shades of color. This year, they have selected and categorized Radiant Orchid, an unique mixture of fuchsia, purple and pink. New Pantone’s color will imbues 2014 with all qualities that an orchid infuses and, for sure, we’ll have an exotic and beautiful year. Orchids are so stunning to upset those who stares at them, like a Stendhal syndrome! They are sensual, they are the sexiest flower par excellence. Word “orchid” comes from the Greek Orchis which means testicle. In many species a swelling of the root forms two oval bulbs. Creating elegance, Zen harmony and grace, they are airy flowers detached from the ground, symbol of quietness and spiritual perfection but also a symbol of creativity and originality. Orchid is also a master of deception and transvestism (ex. Orchis apifera). Its hairy lip is believed of some insects to be a female but it’s just a visual illusion. Male insects make love with an orchid unaware of the trick of reproduction, the only goal that really matters. Monkey Orchid (ex. Dracula simia and Orchis simia) simulates monkey’s face while Venus Slipper has a swollen lip that allows seeing the tip of a slipper (Cypripedium calceolus). On fashion catwalks, instead, 18-3224 has already blossomed and seduced: make-up artists, interior designers, creatives in general. For both males and females, for me too. I’m going to put some sexy nail polish, and of course, it’s a Radiant Orchid one.
THREE PEAKS – NEW BALANCE
The ‘Three Peaks Pack’ is a New Balance homage to the National Three Peaks Challenge in which participants attempt to climb the 3 largest mountains in UK in under 24 hours. New Balance, one of the finest running and lifestyle shoe brands has created this limited edition collection in three colors. Featuring three multicolored combinations of leather, suede and mesh construction this shoe is regarded by many as the quintessential NB shoe, incorporating everything : the famous C-Cap cushioning system and large N on the side, the 576 silhouette.
BALEY’S STARDUST
One of the most glamorous exhibition of 2014 is coming in few days. 250 shots of models, musicians, designers, filmmakers and humanity in general personally selected and printed by master photographer David Baley, maybe the most famous and recognized English photographer ever existed. Baley, who was born in London in 1938, started his career as photographic assistant before being contracted as a fashion photographer for British Vogue magazine in 1960. Swinging London? He was one of the persons who made it and documented it: his 1964 book “”Box Of Pin Ups”, a collection of poster size images of people famous in that period, is still regarded as a masterpiece. To celebrate this 72 years old boy, National Portrait Gallery opens his doors to a peculiar photographer that fixed so many eternal, perfect, moments. “I’ve always tried to do pictures that don’t date. I always go for simplicity.”
Opens February 6th.

1909-1944: RECONSTRUCTING THE UNIVERSE
Presenting over 300 works executed between 1909 and 1944, the chronological exhibition encompasses not only painting and sculpture, but also architecture, design, ceramics, fashion, film, photography, advertising, free-form poetry, publications, music, theater, and performance. To convey the myriad artistic languages employed by the Futurists as they evolved over a 35-year period, the exhibition integrates multiple disciplines in each section. The first comprehensive overview of Italian Futurism to be presented in the United States. Italian Futurism, 1909-1944: Reconstructing the Universe, will be on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum from February 21 through September 1, 2014.
CUT THE RIBBON, KATHRINE SWITZER
Kathrine Virginia “Kathy”, ribbon cutter and of course, runner. She has run 35 marathons, winning NYC’s 1974 edition. She is best known as the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as a numbered entry. During her college years, she in fact, entered and completed the race, five years before women were officially allowed to compete. She registered under the gender-neutral “K. V. Switzer”, which she later insistsed, was not done in an attempt to mislead the officials. She claimed to have long used “K. V. Switzer” to sign the articles she wrote for her college paper. Jock Semple, official, attempted to physically remove her from the race but Switzer’s boyfriend, at that time Tom Miller, who was running with her, shoved the official aside. The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines. As a result of her run, the AAU barred women from all competition with male runners but Switzer, with other women runners, tried to convince the Boston Athletic Association to allow women to participate in the marathon. Finally, in 1972, women were welcome to run the Boston Marathon officially for the first time ever.
OWLLE
In a world of 24 hour party girls, Owlle is a rare creature of the night who finds her bliss in solitude. Her shadowy electropop tunes, like breakout singles “Ticky Ticky” and “Disorder,” reverberate with the tremors of midnight, and the eerie afterglow of dance floors long abandoned. They feel both futuristic and ancient — as does everything Owlle creates. Owlle’s background in fine art allows her to create a distinct world around her. From her art direction and cinematography to costuming choices, Owlle’s mesmerizing imagery is just as important as the music itself. The Owlle experience defies being contained to one form: the sound, style, and visuals must be taken as one convergent reality — a reality of a young artist’s own creation. Owlle is out now with the debut album ‘ France ‘ on I-tunes.
THE RESULT OF BAD INDIGESTION? IT’S HONEY!
In addition to being essential for the pollination of flowers, honey bee (Apis mellifera), donates a divine edible secretion. Not at all stingy, it gives us the fruit of its great fatigue: honey. Approximately 60000 round trip flights – from home to work – to produce a kilogram of ambrosia. Have you ever tried to pick a honeysuckle to suck their base trumpet? It’s sweet! The sweetness derives from a sugary substance that is formed at bottom of the flower and cause of that inexorable bee’s voyages in search of nourishment (pollen and nectar). Proud of their all-female society and tireless workers (except queen bee with legs in the air, who is able to reproduce), worker bees according to their age, can be nurses, ladies in waiting, architects, sculptresses, street cleaners, gravediggers, bodyguards. Satisfied with their coexistence, they are always happy and never tired back with “booty” to their unitè d’habitation. Once arrived in the beehive, bees regurgitate what’s previously collected , like nectar in a honey bag which is located firstly in their stomach. Nectar’s process is then completed by fan bees who, flapping their wings, create air currents to accelerate the evaporation of honey which is still too wet. Then, honey is stored in honeycomb’s hexagonal cells. A delicacy that everyone likes, Yogi Bear and his shy friend Boo-Boo included. Zzzzzzzzzz
NATURALLY, TRANSIT UOMO
Posted on January 21, 2014 by Marco Maggetto
When it’s local, it’s better. When it’s a compatriot small company creating marvels 20 kilometers from where I live, it’s even better. Transit is not a new clothing line, it was acquired by Tam & Company owned by the Cozza family of Vicenza in 1994. Before that date they were producing for other brands investing all their resources in technology and experimentation and getting to be specialized in luxury production and high level clothes. In 2001 Transit Par-Such becomes Transit Uomo, designed and made in Carrè Vicenza, and still entirely made there. Dedicated to an elegant man that refuses shapes and forms of the classical “sartoria”, Transit is unconventional without being outrageous and has a gentle, almost “zen”, touch that recalls the far east. With its soft and accommodating cuts, its deconstructed jackets, its natural color palette and top quality, Transit is already in our favorite designers list. Check them out.

DRIES VAN NOTEN, LES ARTS DéCORATIFS
From March the 1st to August the 31th 2014 , Les Arts Décoratifs will dedicate to Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten an exhibition, an intimate and emotional journey that will present his many and varied sources of inspiration. Dries Van Noten chose to reveal his unique creative world: photos, videos, film clips, musical references, an immediately identifiable vocabulary for those who know the artist and genius mind. The designer, famous for mixing images of the past and present cultures have always fantasized on travels, exotic places, bringing out of his imagination and borrowing from different ethnic and folk traditions places like India , China , Africa or Mexico. This exhibition will presents the creative universe of Dries Van Noten, offering a unique and personal experience of the designer’s refines textiles. His menswear and womenswear in the collection of Les Art Décoratifs are connected to the artwork, to musical references, to films. The iconic Belgian designer studied Fashion Design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, receiving his diploma in 1981. He presented his first menswear collection in 1986 in London along with Walter Van Beirendonck, Ann Demeleumeester, Dirk Van Saene, Dirk Bikkembergs and Marina Yee, the famous “Antwerp Six” collective. Since then, his name has become a synonym to Avant-Garde style, while his exotic or folklore prints are considered as representatives of contemporary “Parisian chic”.

GEMMA – BLine
Gemma has a decisive character with a geometric and slightly ironic air. Conceived as a small armchair that recalls the shape of a precious stone, it has a geometric and profile providing a comfortable seating and it’s both for indoor and outdoor. It is available in a range of colors including Hollywood fuchsia, coral red and topaz blue. Created by Karim Rashid, great communicator and trend setter, multi-award winner, Gemma is a sinuous object, a chair in polyethylene, compact and multi-faceted. Great, don’t you think?

CUT THE RIBBON, THE CHEWING GUM
How many did you chew in your life? Chewing gum, can you imagine your life without it? From being a candy to be a treatment. In our days chewing gums are sugar free, they can contain substances in order to prevent cavities or can help your health: vitamins, herbal extract, spices everything can be spread with an “American gum”. Chewing indeed had been a statement of freedom for many generations and a sign of modernity, efficiency and coolness. Forbidden in posh places and fancy dinners, chewing gum remains an ever green product present all around the world. But who’s the one who cut the ribbon for this invention? Basically North American Indians: if they wouldn’t have chewed the sap from spruce trees and passed the habit along it would had been difficult for John B. Curtis , in 1848, to make the first commercial chewing gum called the “State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum”. Two years later Curtis improved his creation by adding some paraffin and flavors opening the road to many other inventors that added long lasting aromas and discovered the infamous ” Tutti-Frutti” that became the first chewing gum to be sold in a vending machine. Bubble gum came later in 1906, while mint flavor is a 1914 invention by William Wrigley. In 1928 Walter Diemer invented the successful pink colored Double Bubble, bubble gum. POF!
I’VE GOT SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY
Posted on January 14, 2014 by Teresa Cannata'
Dreaming of spring when the weather is cold is one of the most common psychological comforts we turn to in winter. Everyone would like to hop on a plane and spend the coldest months on a tropical island, but not everyone can afford a gypset way of life, so it’s easier to daydream while perusing upcoming clothing and accessory collections.
In one of these virtual-window-shopping sessions I learnt about the shoe collection designed by the London-based Orla Kiely (famous as the Queen of Prints) for Clarks. Take a look at the shapes, the colours, the details and admit all of them scream “spring!”. The inspiration has been clearly drawn from the 1960s – the super-high platforms, the oval or round-edged buckles, the (perforated) patent leather in vibrant colours, the chunky heels.
My favourite style is Milly, a flat slingback which features a lovely front strap and Kiely’s trademark leaf print on the sole. This mustard yellow shade is really modern, yet reminiscent of old times, but the same style is available in navy, white and red.
TO BE CONTINUED, JEWELRY RESCUED FROM THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES
I met her one night, one of those post Christmas dinners where everybody is scared to death about eating. But then food is so good that you can’t resist and at the end you are stiffed as a balloon. Belén was there. I can’t eat. I can’t eat she was telling everybody. But she was eating of course, and she loves food, and she buys Greek olive oil in London and last time she came back from UK she was carrying a 5 liters tank of it in her suitcase. Lol. Belén is simply the quintessential Spanish woman, in particular, a woman from Madrid. Independent, mother of two kids, nomad inside heart, smart and dressed as a cowgirl (she was coming from “el campo”). Belén is a jewels maker-designer and proud founder of “To Be Continued” a sensational jewel brand with a romantic allure. Belén travels around the world to find the best pieces and take them back to her Madrid Studio where her magic artisans work on them.
“I’m a designer almost by accident. My education and experience was centered in other professional areas (management, marketing and advertising) but I’ve always been drawn to the world of design and fashion. I began designing jewelry by recycling antique family pieces and my own jewelry that I didn’t wear anymore. Little by little I started adding to my work with pieces that I found at antique shops, flea markets or anywhere. What started out as a hobby slowly became something more serious. Friends and acquaintances began commissioning special gifts. That’s how TO BE continued…was born; unique, romantic jewelry for those who are looking for something special or rare. Every piece is made by hand. I’m not a fan of the ‘prototype’ world; too much of the magic is lost this way. I prefer to build a team with artisans and help them fight to save a craft that’s on the brink of extinction.”

IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY IT WAS AUGUST
Posted on January 14, 2014 by Flan
What the hell has happened all these months? You were deleting files from the download folder when you bumped into an old video he had taken of you. It was the first week, maybe the second, you were rolling on his bed, trying to hold on to the covers that he was stealing off you. You looked like a girl in love for the first time, the eyes shimmering in delight, the happy and cheeky laughter.
It could have been great. But it wasn’t. And it’s not possible to get back to that promising beginning when you were going on via Flaminia the wrong way to get some Chinese take way, laughing like crazy, two overjoyed aged teenagers on a scooter. Nothing left to be done but same old same old, you try to relive the most memorable episodes with other men: you went back to the Chinese take away with Tom, to the little restaurant with Dick, and for a bike ride in Trastevere with Harry. You tried to see what would happen if you didn’t stay the night or if you stayed even if you didn’t want to. Nothing major happened. Nothing significant or noteworthy, nor extraordinary. A sudden handing of the baton from one lover to the other. In the meantime you keep making mistakes, but you feel you’re actually learning from them. For example, you stopped thinking there is a successful way to find definite love. You have embraced the unplanned and savage way of living of the urban poets, you just perform according to instinct, you listen to your legs, when and where they want to go to. Your ravening and yet tender black eyes guide you.
You have a perfect relationship this time, not with somebody but with your phone. Why not? It gives you so much pleasure and it’s there for you all the time. For example, it has just delivered you some sweet words in the shape of a text from some guy: “Last night I dreamt that I was smelling your hair.”
CALLE, ALCATRACES, TINA AND MEXICO: 1927
Even if they are without rhizome and soil, this Calle’s pair is a still life that lives. They have a soul. The two tall and sinuous stalks approach and then diverge, culminating with the fine flower of calla from the characteristic flute shape. It’s turned towards those who want to quench their thirst. For its elegant and sensual lines is a mirror image of the woman who has photographed them: Tina Modotti. Tied hair and slender body, desired, free, independent, carnal, throbbing with life. Italian, from Udine, emigrated to San Francisco, then to Los Angeles, Mexico, Germany, France, Russia. She was an actress, model, muse, political activist, the first to wear blue jeans in Mexico City. Primarily, her personality has very much left its mark as a photographer. Favorite pupil of Edward Weston, she made it soon with her camera (a Korona later replaced by a lighter Graflex) to create her own photography style. A photography imbued with essentiality, humanity, sensuality, depth and feeling. The contradiction layed just on the name. Calle. The word in italian clashes with the original word in Spanish. In Mexico they are called Alcatraces. These flowers look like seabirds, “sule” in Italian, which give its name to the former San Francisco penitentiary: Alcatraz. A rigid and gloomy place, from which it was almost impossible to escape and be free…

A previously unseen and newly acquired photograph of one of Britain’s most important actresses, Vivien Leigh, and her husband Laurence Olivier, taken at the height of their celebrity status are, since November 2013 on display at the National Portrait Gallery of London. The photograph is shown alongside with two rarely seen portraits of the couple that mark the start of the Gallery’s program celebrating the centenary of Leigh’s birth. The three photographs exhibited in the Gallery are of an extensive display, Starring Vivien Leigh: A Centenary Celebration. Telling the story of the film and theatre career of the widely celebrated actress, focusing on her Oscar-winning role in Gone With the Wind, the display features over 50 portraits of Leigh alongside a selection of rare memorabilia including magazine covers, film stills and press books. Many of the photographs in the display have not been exhibited in the Gallery before. I guess it’s time to go to London.

CUT THE RIBBON, THE MULLET
It has never been clear who actually designed or invented the Mullet, but it was first documented around late Roman times. Most of Rome invaders, those who sacked the city, were actually outfitted with a Mullet. Roman soldiers weren’t allowed to cut their hair in this way as the hairdo, at the time it was considered unfashionable. This weird shaped haircut, with business attitude at the front and party in the back became a must in the’80s. It became popular by Canadian hockey players. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term Mullet was used to describe this hairstyle “apparently coined, and certainly popularized, by U.S. hip-hop group the Beastie Boys”, who used “Mullet” and “Mullet head” as epithets in their 1994 song “Mullet Head”. Was it Mike D who invented it then? In 1995, the Beastie Boys’ magazine Grand Royal was the first to use the term in print, but still it is known that in the sixth century, Byzantine scholar Procopius wrote that some factions of young males wore their hair long at the back and cut it short over the forehead. This non-Roman style was termed the ‘Hunnic’ look. By all this way, Mullets were sported by rock stars like David Bowie or Paul McCartney as far back as the early 1970s. We all do remember Andre Agassi too. Ever since, the Mullet has been a way of life, a state of mind. Ready for a haircut?
DAVIDELFIN, DUVET COVERS
He is famous for a particular and sleek approach towards fashion. His silhouettes and cuts are anything but tender. His collections are conceptual and revolve around to discover feelings and intimate parts of human beings. Missing, Nowdays, Katharsis, Diogenes Syndrome, Tautology to name few of them. But when it’s time to go to bed, the Spanish born designer David Delfin, he wants his nest to be a place of good cheers and dreams. He likes positive messages, hearts, animals and a lot of “cariño”. Since he wasn’t able to find anything appropriate for his bed, Delfin decided to create a line of duvet covers and pillows some years ago. The Davidelifn signature bed accessories is now one of the best, yet unexpected, ways to adorn your bedroom and is now improved in designs, sizes and quality. Because the revolution can start from our bed as Yoko and John instructed some years ago.

LONGCHAMP, A “LE PLIAGE” NEW YEAR
Posted on January 4, 2014 by Marco Maggetto
I have been buzzing around a Longchamp counter for about 6 months to discover its Pliage wonder bags and I can say I obtained a postgraduate degree. The inspiration came from a friend of mine, a beautiful shabby chic Spanish gallerist, one of those marvelous no make up no hairdresser no nothing that is always a quintessence of style, no matter what-where or when. One day she was wearing this foldable bag. I remember it was en vogue during the 80’ies and that it was made by a French brand. I didn’t know that I would spend time on the subject nor even ask for it as a Christmas present. And now that I have one in my trolley, ready to be unfolded in case of extra shopping , which always happens, I can understand why this Le Pliage line, after so many years, remains a best seller loved item. Loved by grandmothers and by young women, and by men too, these bags are unexpansive, unpretentious but very well crafted at the same time. You can go anywhere with them, from gym to supermarket. They resist everything and are waterproof, you can also use them to transport wood from storage to chimney. With a complete range of sizes and new colors, we have no doubt this is going to be a “Le Pliage” 2014.

Conservation Planning and Low-carbon Values
John Pendlebury, Neveen Hamza, Adam Sharr
Keywords： Conservation Planning; Urban Carbon Emissions; Low-carbon Values; Planning Control System; Building Regulations
?The desire to reduce carbon emissions and the desire to sustain historic buildings and environments are two powerful contemporary value systems that potentially conflict. It is through local governance and policy systems that much of the mediation between these values will take place，and in particular，in the UK， through the interaction between the conservation-planning system and building regulations. This paper focuses upon the relation between conservation values and the powerful emergent agenda of carbon-reduction through a number of planning case studies and in particular， a case study of Hexham Abbey in northern England. Accepting that carbon control aims and heritage values both have legitimacy，there is a need to explore how these two forces might positively interact.

MUST READ VALIANT! PETER MILLIGAN and ROBERTO DE LA TORRE Demystify SHADOWMAN #13!
Posted on September 3, 2013 by The Valiant Voice
This December, comics icon Peter Milligan (Hellblazer, X-Statix) and visionary artist Roberto De La Torre (Daredevil, Age of Apocalypse) are honing Shadowman to a razor-sharp point aimed straight at the jugular of the Valiant Universe!
As revealed today in USA Today, Milligan and De La Torre will begin their run as Valiant’s newest ongoing creative team in Shadowman #13 – the FIRST ISSUE of all-new story arc exposing the malignant roots of Shadowman’s superhuman abilities…roots that began in Jack Boniface’s own tortured past…and now extend through the bloodied back-alleys of 21st century New Orleans.
When a troubled young man with a history of violence and a penchant for blackouts meets an overwhelming source of power with a mystical scythe, the results are doomed to be destructive. A voodoo loa has possessed Jack Boniface – or so he believes. But after Jack awakens in an alleyway covered in blood, he embarks on a journey across lands of shadows and death to discover if he can expel the dark force that’s seized control of his life…and which may be responsible for a violent rampage through the city he swore to protect.
“My first arc will be an attempt to dig up some dirt, dislodge a few skeletons, and find out what the Hell is really going on with Jack. I’m not throwing everything out with the bath water, I’m just making the bath water a bit more grimy and, hopefully, unpleasant,” Milligan told USA Today. “Something is wrong with Jack and to find out what it is he’ll need to face some terrible truths about himself and make some big changes in his life.”
Featuring a standard cover by De La Torre, alongside Pullbox and incentive variants by Miguel Sepulveda (Red Lanterns), Ben Templesmith (Ten Grand), and Shane Davis (Superman: Earth One), Shadowman #13 is also the first title in the MUST READ VALIANT initiative – a new series of self-contained stories and easy jumping-on points across the Valiant publishing line from some of the brightest talents in comics today.
“As a publishing company, our number one priority is always accessibility. With that in mind, we’ve built MUST READ VALIANT to showcase a handful of new, exciting entry points across all of Valiant’s monthly series,” said Valiant Publisher Fred Pierce. “Valiant is among the most talked-about publishers in comics today, and we are constantly being approached by new readers looking for clean introductions to our characters and our universe. Start reading in UNITY #1 this November – then explore the rest of what we have to offer when MUST READ VALIANT kicks off with Shadowman #13.”
You’ve heard the buzz. You’ve seen the reviews. Now, find out why VALIANT has been heralded as the MUST READ publisher in comics today when Peter Milligan and Roberto De La Torre drag Jack Boniface to his blackest depths yet in Shadowman #13 – in stores December 4th!
And get a sneak peek at things to come in Shadowman #13X – a special standalone prelude to Shadowman’s all-new story arc from Peter Milligan and newcomer Diego Bernard (Witchblade) – bagged exclusively with Bleeding Cool Magazine #7 and available in comic stores everywhere on October 23rd!

Thirsty for music that is both dangerous and danceable, refreshing as a mojito and as eye-opening as a whiskey sour? A cocktail party mix of reggae, punk rock, jazz, hiphop, and ska? This is DopeSoda.
Dope Soda formed in late 2011, a fresh concoction of six of the top jazz, rock, and Jamaican-music-inspired musicians from Vancouver Island, with frequent appearances in acts such as Current Swell, Jon & Roy, and The Bananafish Dance Orchestra. The band is led by a three-piece horn section with roots in the highly-regarded Vancouver Island University Jazz Department, buoyed by a funky rhythm section that serves up sips of bubbling Hammonds and Wurlitzers, shots of distorted guitar, and heavy bass–in your face.
Dope Soda jumps back and forth between reggae jams, punk-rock assaults, happy ska romps, and hip-hop throw-downs– a thirst quencher for audiences who need good rhymes and good times. Dope Soda’s 1st full-length, “Carbonation,” features a 12-pack of ska-punk-jazz-pop tunes (best paired with a West Coast IPA). It’s carbonated party fuel; a beer-in-cheek look at video games, hallucinations, bar brawls, unsettled relationships, and the trials and tribulations of wearing an eye patch. Recorded in Nanaimo, B.C. and produced by a team of dancing rabbits. Drink up!

Trump Makes Time's 100 List, Paul Ryan Has Nothing But This To Say
Even though rumors are swirling about a war brewing behind the scenes at the White House, it didn't stop some of the key players from being recognized by the Time Magazine list. President Donald Trump was on it, along with his aide and son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Kusher's arch nemesis, White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. Ivanka Trump, the first daughter, also made the list.
Time puts out the list every year, and gets notable honorees to write about those who make the list. This year, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was tapped to write about Mr. Trump. Though Ryan and Trump may have their disagreements at times, Ryan had nothing but positive things to offer. He called Mr. Trump a 'driven, hands-on leader.'
'"He always finds a way to get it done," Ryan explained. "When so many, including me at times, didn't see how he could pull it off, Donald Trump won a historic victory."
Henry Kissinger's letter about Kushner read, "As part of the Trump family, Jared is familiar with the intangibles of the President. As a graduate of Harvard and NYU, he has a broad education; as a businessman, a knowledge of administration. All this should help him make a success of his daunting role flying close to the sun."
A Time staff editor wrote a rather unflattering tribute to Bannon, and why he made the list. "Stephen Bannon may no longer function as the 45th President's chief strategist, but no one else had as much influence on Donald Trump's general-election campaign and first two months in office," Michael Duffy wrote. "But then Trump realized that rather than scoring legislative victories, Bannon was doing little more than alienating voters outside Trump’s base and getting way too much attention along the way,' the journalist pointed out.
"For Trump, it was too disruptive," he added.
Ivanka Trump's praises were sung by Wendi Deng Murdoch, former wife of Rupert Murdoch, businesswoman, producer and long-time friend of Ivanka.
"Ivanka continues to earn my respect and admiration for how she has chosen to use her new visibility. She has long advocated to empower women and girls and is now leading education initiatives and working to put an end to human trafficking. I am deeply impressed by her courage to leave behind life as she knew it and move her young family to Washington to pursue positive change," she wrote. "My daughters have long looked up to her. Now women and girls around the globe can look up to her too."

Joe Rice Appointed NOL Co-Lead
Jan 09, 2018 02:39PM ● By Kathleen Maris
Motley Rice co-founder Joe Rice has been appointed co-lead counsel in the National Prescription Opiate Litigation being coordinated in the Northern District of Ohio. U.S. District Judge Dan Aaron Polster announced the leadership appointments Jan. 4, 2018 after approving a Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee that will oversee the MDL.
Currently, there are approximately 200 lawsuits filed in Federal court involving more than 50 defendants and hundreds of governmental claimants. The pharmaceutical industry marketed highly addictive prescription painkillers, thereby contributing to a growing epidemic that claims thousands of American lives each year.
In 2016, South Carolina was 9th in the nation in opioid prescribing rates. Since 2011, more than 3,000 South Carolinians have died from prescription opioid overdoses. Combined heroin and prescription opioid deaths in South Carolina exceeded the number of homicides in the state in 2015.
“With a rising death toll and the grip of addiction impacting millions across the country in some way, shape or form, there’s no question that the opioid epidemic is one of the most pressing public health issues of our time. We have some very hard work ahead of us,” said Rice. “Thanks in large part to the leadership of many cities and counties throughout the country involved in this litigation, and to the many other states that are pursuing simultaneous litigation, we look forward to rolling up our sleeves and getting to work to help usher in the change and accountability that is long overdue and desperately needed to save lives.”
Rice’s commitment to litigation aimed at furthering public health initiatives has spanned more than 30 years.

The Italian government (just before it fell) launched with great fanfare italia.it, the country’s new tourism portal, along with a logo which:
looks like the winner from an elementary school drawing competition
is uncomfortably similar to the logo of Logitech
in no way represents Italy
includes a slogan ("Italy leaves a mark") which reminds me of the tourism campaign Spain has been running for years (that one with people sporting Dali’ mustaches) – didn’t it have exactly the same slogan?
As for the website… oh, dear god. They reportedly spent 45 MILLION euros for a site that lacks basic features (such as an RSS feed) that we have come to expect from a modern website. It has technical problems which anyone in Italy who knows anything about the web (and that’s a lot of us) is gleefully (and ruefully – our tax euros wasted!) tearing to bits.
Given my own skills and biases, what I first noticed was the English translation. Here’s a sample paragraph which I did not have to look hard to find:
For having more precise vision click on “+”: in this way it will be visualized an historical period in the detail.
For having, instead, one vision of entirety click on “-” and the period will be visualized a large historical period contain more events. The period comes shown in the Timeline to the right of the zoom: the blue bar will increase or decrease the dimension based on your choice.
This kind of laughably bad translation, like the manuals we so often see with Chinese electronics, gives the consumer no reassurance that there is anyone competent standing behind the product (the product, in this case, being Italy).
^ Someone else in need of a good translation service. The title on this clip in YouTube is "Rutelli inglese maccheronico" – Rutelli’s maccaronic English. Maccheronico (maccaroni-like) is the term Italians themselves use for heavily Italianized English (or other language).
Until a few weeks ago, I might have said that my Italian was good enough that I could translate an English text into decent Italian – not quickly, but I could do it, in fact had been asked to do it several times at the office (we have an office full of Italians, why ask me?).
Then we put this supposed skill of mine to the test. Ross is applying to attend Woodstock School next year. The application form includes recommendations to be done by various teachers and other people at her current school, none of whom (except the English teacher) reads or writes comfortably in English. So the form needed to be translated into Italian.
I took a first cut at it, and thought I had done a reasonably creditable job. Then Ross took it in hand, and came out with something completely different. I realized that my translation had been understandable, and grammatically fairly correct, but probably about as funny to a native Italian speaker as the text above is to a native English speaker.
Around the same time, Antonio, one of the delightful people I met at barCamp Roma, commented about me on his blog: Cavolo l’ho sentita zittire e mettere in riga decine di uomini con un italiano corretto, ma inglesissimo! – "Cavolo! I heard her shut up and straighten out dozens of men in very correct – but very English – Italian." Okay, I’m slightly embarassed about the shutting up and straightening out (not exactly my intention, but definitely my character). But the very correct and very English Italian… hmm.
I stand before you now, chastened and humbled: my Italian is good, but I sure as hell don’t speak or write like a native.
And this is a lesson that many Italians have yet to learn. Just because you can read and understand another language well, and maybe even translate well from that into your mother tongue, does not mean that you can translate in the other direction with comparable competence. If you need a text to sound professional and persuasive, leave it to an expert.
So… I’m looking for someone to translate my resumé into Italian…

Raising a Bilingual Child
Our daughter is bilingual in English and Italian, and some people have asked “how we did it.” There really wasn’t much to it. While I was pregnant, I read the only book I could find on the subject (The Sun is Feminine Amazon UK | US), which happened to be written (in English) by a Read More…
Our daughter is bilingual in English and Italian, and some people have asked “how we did it.” There really wasn’t much to it. While I was pregnant, I read the only book I could find on the subject (The Sun is Feminine Amazon UK | US), which happened to be written (in English) by a German linguist married to an Italian. She suggested following the “one parent, one language” rule: each parent should speak only one language (preferably his or her native one) with the child, right from birth, so that the child is able to identify each language with a specific person, and thereby learns to keep the languages separate.
So that’s what we did. For the first 15 months of her life, Ross was mostly in the US, from then on she was mostly in Italy, but, wherever we were, I addressed her only in English, Enrico only in Italian. Enrico and I communicated in English, as a matter of habit – I didn’t speak Italian when I first met him! But when we were with Italian speakers I spoke Italian, and Ross heard me doing it. So by age three she decided that, while she could understand English perfectly well, there was no need for her to go to the effort of speaking it, since it was obvious that everybody understood Italian. I would always speak English to her, and she’d always reply in Italian. Heads would turn on the street as people tried to understand what was going on.
The summer she turned four, we took her on a trip to other parts of Europe, visiting various friends. One couple were English and German, raising their own bilingual kids in Germany. Rossella realized that she had to speak English to be understood by these adults, but for some reason she remained convinced that all children spoke Italian. My friend’s son, the same age, was similarly convinced that all kids must speak German. They struggled for days to communicate, until Ross finally said to him, in great frustration: Ma tu devi parlare inglese! (“But you have to speak English!”)
We didn’t have a TV for the first couple of years we were in Milan; we got one around Ross’ third year so that she could hear more English, on videotape. We got a multistandard VCR so we could watch films imported from the US, and built up an impressive collection of Disney movies. (Fortunately, Enrico and I liked them, too.)
If Ross were growing up in the US, it would probably be difficult to get her to speak Italian. Many American schoolkids don’t value the ability to speak a foreign language, and of course no child wants to be observed doing something uncool or different. But, in Italy, she gets lots of positive reinforcement for being bilingual. When she was in elementary school, her friends’ parents used to say: “Go play with Rossella and learn some English!” And everyone tells her how lucky she is to speak it so well.
We know several other multilingual families, and it’s interesting to observe which language the kids will drop into, depending on environment or what they’re talking about. In one family we know, she’s a multilingual Italian (speaks Italian, English, French, and Spanish fluently), he’s German. Between them they communicate in English, the only language they have in common. He speaks only German to the kids, she only Italian. So they hired an English-speaking nanny, and the kids are trilingual. Another couple are Americans whose kids were born in Italy, attended Italian schools, and spoke English at home. The parents sometimes spoke French as their “secret” language when they wanted the kids not to understand something, which motivated the kids to learn French! (Ross has been taking French in school; many schools offer English and a choice of French or German.)
It’s no longer necessary to maintain linguistic purity for Ross’ sake, so our family language has become an idiosyncratic mix that still causes heads to turn. I was wondering recently why people stare at Ross and me in the subway when we speak English; English speakers are not rare in Milan. Then I realized that they’re probably staring because we’re not speaking pure English; we blend it freely with Italian, especially when talking about activities that take place in Italian, such as riding or school.
Being bilingual has disadvantages. I sometimes realize after the fact that I’ve said or written something that was far too literal a translation from one language or the other. An American friend, who’s been in Italy even longer than I, once said to me: “I’ll make a jump at the new house on my way back.” This sounded weird in a way that I couldn’t immediately put my finger on. Then I realized that she had translated literally the Italian “Faro’ un salto;” Italians use “make a jump” the way English speakers use “stop by.” That’s what she meant and what I, being fluent in both languages, heard. Anyone who wasn’t bilingual in English and Italian would have been thoroughly confused.

Most people consider on stylish looks, premium build, performance, camera when planning to purchase a premium flagship smartphone.
Oppo R17 Pro and OnePlus 6T have been recently introduced in the Indian market with top of the line specifications nearly at the same amount of money. So, both OnePlus and Oppo, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer companies are competitors of each other, as it offers mostly the same set of specifications.

Price And Release Date
Oppo, the Chinese tech giant has launched its premium mid-range segment Oppo R17 Pro in India on December 4, while the OnePlus has launched its OnePlus 6T on October 30 in the Indian market.
In India, OnePlus 6T is available in three storage variants 6GB RAM/ 128GB storage, 8GB RAM/128GB storage and 8GB RAM/256GB storage that has been priced at Rs 37,999 Rs 41,999 and Rs 45,999 respectively.
On another hand, the Oppo R17 Pro comes with a price tag of Rs 45,990 for single 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, while the OnePlus 6T costs Rs 41,999 for 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage.
Shortly, OnePlus has offered more than one variant in OnePlus 6T, while Oppo has launched only one variant of Oppo R17 Pro which is a major drawback for the company.
When we are talking about the display of the Oppo R17 Pro and OnePlus 6T shares most of the specifications to each other. Both, Oppo R17 Pro and OnePlus 6T have a 6.4-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display panel along with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. On the top, both of the devices feature a water drop- shaped notch houses front camera and sensors. Both of the phones are being protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 6 which secure the device from scratches and damages.
The Oppo R17 Pro and OnePlus 6T are identical to each other in terms of design. Both of the devices come with a metallic and glass unibody design and look similar from all sides. There are some minor differences, the SIM tray is positioned on the bottom of the Oppo R17 Pro as well as an alert slider is missing on it. Additionally, the Oppo R17 Pro comes in impressive color i.e., radiant mist with an attractive combination of violet and blue. It is one of the positive points for Oppo which gives it a significant edge over the competitors.
Shortly as such, there is no difference between Oppo R17 Pro and OnePlus 6T in terms of design and display.

The Oppo R17 Pro comes with a triple lens on the rear side while the OnePlus 6T has dual sensors on the rear side. The triple lens on the rear side of Oppo R17 Pro helps the company to edge over the competitors.
The Oppo R17 Pro packs a 12MP primary sensor, a 20MP secondary sensor and a TOF 3D sensor. The TOF 3D sensor can be used to click 3D information. The disappointing part is that the 3D sensor can’t be utilized independently, so it’s difficult to say for which purpose it can be used.
On another hand, the OnePlus 6T gets dual sensors on the rear panel consisting of a 16MP primary sensor and a 20MP secondary sensor.
The Oppo R17 Pro rear camera set up comes with a dual-aperture primary sensor which can be adjusted in between f/2.4 and f/1.5 depends on the lighting environment. A 20 MP secondary sensor retains same on the OnePlus 6T and Oppo R17 Pro.
For selfies and video calling, the Oppo R17 Pro has a 25MP ultra-wide camera while the OnePlus 6T gets a 16MP sensor.
When we are talking about the performance, OnePlus 6T is powered by the modern Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, which is much better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset available in the Oppo R17 Pro.
The Oppo R17 Pro comes with Android Oreo-based on the ColorOS. Here, OnePlus is one step ahead than the Oppo, as OnePlus 6T runs on top of the line Android 9 Pie layered with the highly praised OxygenOS. Notably, OnePlus has been famous for rendering regular software updates and new features in its flagship smartphones, while Oppo is significantly lower in this case.

Both OnePlus 6T and Oppo R17 Pro are powered by a 3,700mAh battery. Both of the devices come with the support of fast charging technology, while Oppo takes a significant advantage by offering Super VOOC technology.
During the tests, the Oppo R17 Pro takes only 40 minutes to get charge the device full, claims company.
Both, Oppo R17 Pro and OnePlus 6T come with under- display fingerprint scanner to unlock the device. The accuracy and speed of both devices are good enough.
Should You Buy
Now moving to the buying decision which is one of the most important factors to purchase a new smartphone. It totally depends on what is your most preferred choice when you are going to purchase a premium mid-range segment smartphone.
If you are focusing on the performance and software then the OnePlus 6T is the best option for you. If you are considering the camera specifications or super fast charging then the Oppo R17 Pro is a good choice. At last price factor also does matter as both the devices comes a bit expensive than other mid-range smartphones.

The Bobby Blackwolf Show Episode 117: October 14, 2007
Nintendo Fall Conference, Jess Lebow on Pirates of the Burning Sea
This week we interview Jess Lebow, Content Director for Flying Lab Software, about Pirates of the Burning Sea.
This week, two games that came straight out of the student and independent scene made big splashes.
The first was the Orange Box's Portal, born out of Digipen senior project Narbacular Drop.
The other was Everyday Shooter, now available on the Playstation Network.
Nintendo's Fall Conference was this week, and we learned that Super Smash Bros. Brawl was delayed (but with Sonic and Online coop), Mario Kart was delayed (but with motorcycles), and that DS demos are FINALLY coming to the Wii.
Continuing the recent trend of buying out other developers, Electronic Arts bought both Bioware and Pandemic.
Then we take a call about Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.
There will be no LIVE show next week due to local performance commitments, but stay tuned for an interview segment on the podcast feed as usual.

Skyrim Impressions, Steam Forums Hacked
The Bobby Blackwolf Show - 129098 views
LIGHTLY EDITED: This is a previously unreleased episode of The Bobby Blackwolf Show, and is released with minimal editing (removing the music break.) Please keep this in mind when you hear long awkward pauses that are typically edited out of the podcast. In this episode, we talk about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, how it set records on Steam, and how Steam's forums were hacked.
Two Worlds II Review, Sony NGP
The Bobby Blackwolf Show - 44668 views
We start off by giving our review of Two Worlds II for the Xbox 360. Find out if it makes up for the first game as well as why it was one of the most difficult titles for Bobby to review. Sony announced the successor to the PSP - working title "NGP" (Next Generation Portable) - this week in Japan. Mainstream media is bashing Microsoft for banning an 11 year old autistic child from Xbox Live for cheating, because the mother insists he's just "that good" at games. Find out the truth. Then we take calls about the NGP, both in Next Generation Portable form as well as Neo Geo Pocket form.
Editorial: Questions About The 3DS Terms of Service
Article by Bobby Blackwolf - 18987 views
Nintendo really needs to send Sony a thank you card. For the past few weeks, I, any many others in the independent gaming media, have been covering the recent downtime of the PlayStation Network. Meanwhile, folks at the Free Software Foundation have uncovered some possibly scary terms that you must agree to in order for your Nintendo 3DS to be fully functional.
Editorial: Why E3's New Rules Are Okay...Mostly
On the cusp of his 15th straight E3, Bobby Blackwolf was rejected for not meeting the new requirements for bloggers, even though he is a podcaster. However, he feels that the new rules are okay...Mostly. In this editorial, he describes why GDC went the same route and survived, what E3 exhibitors are thinking, where E3 can improve their quality control standards, and what an independent journalist can do if they get rejected from covering the most important event in the video game industry.
Minecraft 360, Diablo 3 Auction House
The first item we talk about probably won't help you listening on the podcast, but you could have gotten Midnight Club 2 on PC for free by joining the official Rockstar Group on Steam. But, you can join the VOG Network group on Steam even after May 15th! Minecraft 360 has broken sales records on Xbox Live Arcade, but announcing that has shown there might have been some preferential treatment. We also talk a little bit about the game (impressions from the demo) and how it is different from the PC version. If you want to buy games on Steam, but don't want to use your credit or debit card, you now have an alternative...And neither side is too happy about it. The Xbox 360 is rumored to get Internet Explorer 9 with Kinect support. Information about the real money auction house in Diablo 3 has been released...And we talk about how much money Blizzard will take in from each successful sale. We don't take many calls because we were recording on Mother's Day, but one person called in just to call, so we talked about The Pirate Bay telling Anonymous to stop censoring other people.

Tin God
Getting pregnant as a teenager and being coerced into giving her baby up for adoption left a festering scar on Jaymee Ballard’s life. Trapped by poverty and without many allies, Jaymee nearly gives up hope of getting her daughter back after her best friend is murdered. Now, four years later, a wealthy woman with legal connections hires her as a housekeeper, and Jaymee gathers the courage to seek her help. But Jaymee’s last chance ends up in a puddle of blood in one of the historic antebellum mansions in Roselea, Mississippi.
I just murdered your wife…again.
An unsigned letter consisting of six horrifying words turns Nick Samuels stagnant life upside down. Stuck in emotional purgatory since his wife’s unsolved murder four years ago, Nick is about to self-destruct. The arrival of the letter claiming credit for his wife’s murder and boasting of a new kill sends Nick to Roselea, where he and Jaymee’s worlds collide.
Jaymee and Nick realize exposing the truth about her daughter’s adoption is the only way to solve the murders. Up against years of deception, they rush to identify the killer before the evidence–and Jaymee’s daughter–are lost.
But the truth doesn’t always set the guilt-ridden free. Sometimes, it destroys them.

Nanotechnology as a disruptive factor in Occupational Safety and Health, Environment
January 26, 2014 August 22, 2015 David Mairal
“In the long term, nanotechnology will demand a revolutionary re-thinking of occupational health and safety”. John Howard, MD, NIOSH.
John Howard is the director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the U.S..
This words are taken from a document by OSHA on “Nanomaterials and Occupational Safety and Health”. You can go to it in this link: https://www.osha.gov/dte/grant_materials/fy10/sh-21008-10/student_manual.pdf. The quote appears exactly in the module 3 of the document on the assessment of the exposure to nanomaterials in the workplace.
The technical aspects of assessing the exposure to nanomaterials is a complex topic requesting an specific treatment which is no the aim of this post. The point is, when the director of the one of the mayor investor organizations in the world (NIOSH) on OSH says such statement, it is supposed that nanotechnology will indeed bring deep new technical aspects in the OSH field. And that if you are an OSH professional, it is worth you to study the safety and health in nanotechnology.
Nevertheless, I take the words by Mr. Howard beyond the technical OSH aspect of nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology changes the historical OSH investment trend in new findings
Traditionally, new findings along history have followed a path like this:
Finding;
Return prospect;
Applications launch;
Finding of undesired effects: secrecy;
“Universal” acknowledgement of effects;
Application of preventive measures;
In some cases, finding is banned.
There are lots of examples with serious safety consequences following this scheme: mercury, lead, asbestos or even celular phones.
Nanotechnology boost started more or less 20 years ago, but it path is being different:
Discovery (1), return prospect (2) and applications launch (3) happened more or less in the same way;
Undesired health and environmental effects (4) of nanomaterials are researched, instead of being treated in secrecy;
There is a permanent doubt on the undesired effects of nanotechnology, instead of an universal acknowledgement (5);
Preventive measures (6) are constantly being issued, as research goes on, but nanomaterials are and will be more and more revolutionary in further years, and won’t be banned (7).
This makes that, taking the United States as example, the investment in environmental, safety and health in the nanotechnology research funding history looks like this (National Nanotechnology Initiative, US):
In the latests years, “NanoEHS” research has made up between 3-7% of the total NNI budget.And what is more important, environmental, safety and health aspects arte embedded in the design of the nanoproducts at the very beginning.
Per agencies, EPA and NIOSH take a piece of the cake:
Is an investment of 7% in nanotechnology safety and environment research enough?. Time will tell, but this is indeed a change in the historical treatment of a new finding. It is a qualitative step forward that improves previous situations and points the way to do thinks.
Nanotechnology, environment, a key role in safety culture
Some of the undesired effects of nanotechnology are about environment. It is almost sure that nanomaterials’ special physical and chemical properties are leading to unexpected interactions with biological and environmental systems, by means of pollution.
When it comes to the global pollution by nanomaterials, to treat separately environmental of health issues, makes no sense, wherever it affects, workplaces or public health and safety. From the point of view of research, I can´t find such a clear case in which environment, OSH and public health are the same think.
The concept is “NanoEHS“, all together.
Finally, environment and nanotechnology for themselves are becoming key policies in developing and industrialised countries. They are more and more present in the most important statements of the most influencer people of the most powerful countries. Its close connection (nanotech and environment) feeds back its strength, what also empowers as a consequence health and safety. And this is outstanding to spread an safety culture among society. Even more effective than any OSH policy, programs, initiatives, campaigns or strategies launched by any isolated OSH organization.
New technical OSH concepts brought by nanotechnology, embedded OSH in the design of new nanomaterials and the global OSH safety and environmental culture: This overall point of view is what will make nanotechnology a disruptive factor in the future of environment and occupational safety and health.

Appeal of SYLVIA K. HUBER, WHITING P. LIGHTFOOT and LOUIS J. WATSON from action of the Board of Education of the City School District of the City of Corning and Dr. Donald Trombley, Superintendent, regarding a bond proposition.
Sayles & Evans, attorneys for respondent, James F. Young, Esq., of counsel
MILLS, Commissioner.--Petitioners appeal various actions of the Board of Education of the City School District of the City of Corning ("respondent board") concerning a special district election held on June 19, 2001. The appeal must be dismissed.
Over a period of several years, respondent board considered various options to address its facilities" needs. In 2000, respondent board appointed a Facilities Study Committee ("the committee") to identify and evaluate options to meet those needs. On July 26, 2000, the committee recommended a facilities plan known as "Option 2" which involved, among other things, building a new high school in the Town of Erwin, converting two high schools to middle schools, closing one middle school, converting another to an elementary school and renovating existing elementary schools. On October 4, 2000, respondent board directed its superintendent to formally prepare a facilities proposal based on "Option 2" for its approval and a subsequent public referendum. On May 2, 2001, respondent board approved the facilities plan presented by its superintendent and voted to hold a special district election on June 19, 2001 to seek voter approval. The proposition approved by respondent board provided, among other things, for the lease for up to 30 years of a new high school to be located on a 65 acre campus in the Town of Erwin at an annual maximum cost not to exceed $5,500,000; reconstruction of various school district buildings at an estimated cost of $15,206,900 to be paid for by the issuance of bonds; and the sale of the Northside Blodgett Middle School for not less than $1,000,000.
On May 7, 2001, petitioner Huber, apparently acting on behalf of the Corning Area United Taxpayers Association, submitted to the district clerk 45 petitions containing 308 signatures requesting that respondent board place an alternate proposition on the ballot. The alternate proposition provided:
Shall the Corning Painted Post School District Board of Education be authorized to adopt a bond resolution authorizing the reconstruction of various existing school district buildings, at a maximum cost of $30,000,000.00 and authorizing the issuance of not more than $30,000,000.00 bonds (20-year maximum maturity), and providing for a tax levy therefor in annual installments (only to the extent necessary after applying State aid and contributions).
The matter was placed on the agenda for respondent board"s next regularly scheduled meeting on May 16, 2001.
At the May 16, 2001 meeting, respondent board voted not to place the alternate proposition on the ballot on the advice of its counsel that there was insufficient time to satisfy the public notice requirements under the Education Law and that competing propositions should not be placed on the same ballot. Petitioners then commenced this appeal on June 11, 2001 seeking, among other things, a stay of the June 19, 2001 special district meeting. Petitioners" request for interim relief was denied on June 18, 2001. District voters approved respondent board"s proposition at the June 19, 2001 special district meeting.
Petitioners contend that respondent board"s refusal to place the alternate proposition on the ballot was improper; that respondent board has failed to establish policies and procedures governing the submission of propositions as required by Education Law "2035; that school facilities and staff were improperly used to promote respondent board"s proposition; and that respondent board did not provide sufficient information to allow voters to make an informed decision on the proposition. For relief, petitioners request that I order respondent board to call a special meeting to submit their proposition to district voters; that I reprimand respondent board for failing to adopt procedures governing the submission of propositions and for allowing its facilities to be used to promote its proposition; and that I direct respondent board to fully inform the voters of details pertaining to the proposed lease.
Respondents contend, among other things, that I lack authority to reprimand a board of education or provide advisory opinions; that petitioners" request for a special district meeting and for clarification of the terms of the lease are moot; that petitioners were not prejudiced by respondent board"s failure to adopt policies and procedures governing the submission of propositions; that respondent board properly refused to submit the alternate proposition to district voters and that petitioners have failed to establish that respondents improperly promoted the proposition or allowed district facilities to be used for such purpose.
At the outset, I note that respondents object to portions of petitioners" reply. The purpose of a reply is to respond to new material or affirmative defenses set forth in the answer (8 NYCRR ""275.3 and 275.14). A reply is not meant to buttress allegations in the petition or to add belatedly assertions that should have been in the petition (Appeal of Karpoff, et al., 40 Ed Dept Rep , Decision No. 14,527; Appeal of Krantz, 38 id. 485, Decision No. 14,077). Therefore, while I have reviewed petitioners" submission, I have not considered those portions of the reply containing new allegations or exhibits that are not responsive to new material or affirmative defenses set forth in the answer.
The appeal is moot in part. It is well settled that the Commissioner will only decide matters in actual controversy and will not render a decision on a state of facts which no longer exists or which subsequent events have laid to rest (Appeal of Jaski, 40 Ed Dept Rep 154, Decision No. 14,446, Appeal of Brown, 39 id. 341, Decision No. 14,254). Although the passage of the referendum on June 19, 2001 has rendered the petition moot to the extent that petitioners seek to stay the special district meeting, I do not otherwise find the petition moot. Petitioners contend, among other things, that district voters were deprived of the opportunity to consider their bond proposal as an alternative to respondent board"s proposal and that respondent board improperly allowed its facilities to be used to promote its proposition. If I were to find that respondent board improperly rejected petitioners" petition or engaged in electioneering that affected the outcome of the election, I could invalidate the election results and order respondent board to hold another special district meeting. There is nothing in the record to suggest that respondent board has actually implemented the plan approved by district voters, circumstances that would, at the very least, render moot petitioners" request that district voters be given an opportunity to consider the alternate proposal. Because I find that there is meaningful relief available, I decline to dismiss the remainder of petitioners" claims as moot.
It is well established that the Commissioner does not issue advisory opinions or declaratory rulings in appeals brought pursuant to Education Law "310 (Appeal of Weiss, 39 Ed Dept Rep 69, Decision No. 14,176; Appeal of Lambert, 37 id. 599, Decision No. 13,937). However, the petition alleges that respondents have violated the law by allowing school district property to be used to promote the proposition. Although, I have no authority to "reprimand" respondents, if I were to find petitioners" claim meritorious, I could instruct respondents to cease such activity at all future district budget and proposition votes. Accordingly, whether or not respondents engaged in the conduct alleged is a justiciable issue, and I find no basis to dismiss that claim as improperly seeking an advisory opinion or declaratory ruling (see, Appeal of Eckert, 40 Ed Dept Rep ___, Decision No. 14,520).
However, the appeal must be dismissed on the merits. In an appeal to the Commissioner, petitioner bears the burden of establishing all of the facts upon which she seeks relief (8 NYCRR "275.10; Appeal of Boiko, 40 Ed Dept Rep ___, Decision No. 14,513; Appeal of Taylor, 39 id. 368, Decision No. 14,261; Appeal of Trombley, 39 id. 115, Decision No. 14,189) and to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief requested (Appeal of Boiko, supra; Appeal of Taylor, supra; Appeal of Logan, 38 Ed Dept Rep 694, Decision No. 14,120). None of petitioners' claims satisfy this standard.
To invalidate the results of a school district election, petitioners must establish not only that an irregularity occurred, but that the irregularities actually affected the outcome of the election (Matter of Boyes v. Allen, et al., 32 AD2d 990, aff'd 26 NY2d 709; Appeal of Goldin, 40 Ed Dept Rep ___, Decision No. 14,573; Appeal ofLawson, 38 id. 713, Decision No. 14,124; Appeal of Chechek, supra), were so pervasive that they vitiated the electoral process (Appeal of Roberts, 33 Ed Dept Rep 601, Decision No. 13,162; Matter of Gilbert, 20 id. 174, Decision No. 10,366), or demonstrate a clear and convincing picture of informality to the point of laxity in adherence to the Education Law (Matter of Levine, 24 Ed Dept Rep 172, Decision No. 11,356, aff'd sub nom, Capobianco v. Ambach and Bd. of Ed., Glen Cove City School District, 112 AD2d 640). Implicit in these decisions is a recognition that it is a rare case where errors in the conduct of a school election become so pervasive that they vitiate the fundamental fairness of the election (Appeal of Goldman, 35 Ed Dept Rep 126, Decision No. 13,487; Appeal of Roberts, supra).
Petitioners have failed to demonstrate that respondents did not adequately apprise voters about the terms of the proposed lease of the high school building. Where a vote is on a capital project and the financing thereof, the proof must contain affidavits or statements from individuals who voted in favor of the proposition that their vote would have been otherwise but for the alleged misconduct (Appeal of Krantz, 38 Ed Dept Rep 485, Decision No. 14,077). Petitioners have failed to submit a single affidavit from a district voter stating that the lack of additional explanatory information affected their vote.
I also find that petitioners have not sustained their burden of proof with regard to their remaining claims of election improprieties. Although petitioners allege a number of instances of improper activity, their assertions consist of little more than hearsay or conclusory allegations. As to their claim that respondents improperly allowed access to district facilities, respondents explain that they allowed "all factions supporting any educational plan...reasonable opportunity" to videotape the district"s facilities to "present their case" to district voters, an opportunity which petitioner Huber"s organization availed itself. Although petitioners allege that district facilities were used to produce an advertisement urging support of respondent board"s proposition, they fail to supply any proof that district officials actively participated in that effort, or expended district funds by allowing other organizations access to its facilities. Because the sufficiency and condition of the district"s facilities were obviously relevant to voters" decision whether to support the proposition, I find respondent acted reasonably by allowing all organizations access to videotape its facilities (cf, Appeal of Karpoff, et al., 40 Ed Dept Rep , Decision No. 14,527, aff'd Karpoff v. Mills, Sup Ct, Albany Co., August 1, 2001, Cobb J.). Moreover, petitioners have failed to demonstrate that respondents" actions affected the outcome of the election.
Petitioners have similarly failed to establish any grounds for relief on their claim that district employees used school district mailboxes to solicit staff to support respondent board"s proposition. It is well settled that while a board of education may distribute factual information regarding a vote or an election, the use of district resources to distribute materials designed to solicit favorable votes violates the constitutional prohibition against using public funds to promote a partisan position (Phillips v. Mauer, 67 NY2d 672 [1986]; Appeal of Lawson, 36 Ed Dept Rep 450, Decision No. 13,774; Appeal of Saba, 36 id. 233, Decision No. 13,710). Even indirect support, such as a school board giving a PTA access to its established channel of communication to parents to espouse a partisan position that the board itself was prohibited from doing directly, has been deemed improper (Stern v. Kramarsky, 84 Misc. 2d 447 [1975]; Appeal of Lawson, supra; Appeal of Saba, supra).
From the record, it appears that members of the Corning Teachers" Association, the recognized bargaining representative of the district"s teachers, distributed a flyer through teacher mailboxes soliciting teachers to participate in a television commercial it planned to film supporting the proposition. Respondent superintendent explains that because the Corning Teachers" Association is the recognized bargaining representative of its teachers, it has access to school mailboxes to communicate with its members. There is no evidence in the record that respondents knew about the flyer in advance or sanctioned its distribution. Nor is there any evidence that the flyer was distributed at school district expense. Under these circumstances, I find that petitioners have not proven that respondents engaged in any partisan activities sufficient to overturn the election (Appeal of Van Allen, 38 Ed Dept Rep 701, Decision No. 14,122).
Nor have petitioners established any right to relief with respect to their claim that respondent board has failed to establish policies and procedures governing the submission of propositions by district residents as required by Education Law "2035(2). Although respondent board concedes that it does not have such policies in place, petitioners have failed to establish that this irregularity prevented it from submitting its proposition to district voters (Appeal of Nicoletti, 21 Ed Dept Rep 38, Decision No. 10,590). However, I remind respondent board of its obligation to establish such policies and procedures as required by Education Law "2035(2).
Finally, I do not find that respondent board acted arbitrarily in declining to place petitioners" alternate proposition on the ballot. A board of education may not be compelled to place before the voters at an annual or special district meeting all propositions submitted in conformity with Education Law "2035, regardless of ambiguity, feasibility, or difficulty in interpreting election results when conflicting matters are voted on simultaneously (see, Appeal of McDougall, et al., 37 Ed Dept Rep 611, Decision No. 13,941; Appeal of Martin, 32 id. 567, Decision No. 12,915). A board must exercise its independent judgment to ensure that the will of the voters can be ascertained (Appeal of Martin, supra). Placing two propositions before the electorate, each proposing a different solution and appropriation to address the district"s facilities needs would be confusing (see, Appeal of Martin, supra; 27 Op. State Compt. 138). Moreover, petitioners have failed to establish that their alternate proposition was based on a concrete, detailed plan that represented a feasible option to address the district"s facilities needs. The alternate proposition contained only the barest outline for a plan that would involve "reconstruction of various school district buildings" for not more than $30,000,000. Finally, a board of education is required to provide voters with 45 days notice of a proposition involving among other things, an addition to a school building (Education Law ""416[3], 2004, 2009 and 2601-a). Petitioners did not submit their proposition to respondent board until May 7, 2001, leaving respondent board with insufficient time to comply with these notice requirements. Although it is not clear from the record whether the alternate proposition involved an addition to any school building, I do find that respondent board acted arbitrarily in concluding that the 45 notice provision was applicable, given petitioners" failure to provide the details of its proposal. Under these circumstances, I find that respondent board properly rejected petitioners" proposition.
I have examined petitioners" remaining claims and find them to be without merit.

Law360 Quotes Mark Allison on Transfer Pricing Cases After Amazon Loss
March 24, 2017, Law360
The Internal Revenue Service's blistering loss in a $1.5 billion transfer pricing dispute with Amazon has experts calling for a re-examination of the agency's valuation methodologies in order to prevent it from wasting its own resources and those of taxpayers.
Mark Allison of Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered said the IRS isn’t necessarily being irresponsible by scrutinizing and litigating transfer pricing issues, since these cases tend to be very fact-driven with the circumstances of each one needing to be considered individually, and the agency has a mandated responsibility to protect its tax base.
“The IRS quite understands that there are transfer pricing strategies that are out there that are designed to move this kind of value offshore, and the IRS has every economic incentive to change those dollars,” Allison said.

EXPLORING THE ILLUSION OF FREE WILL
George Ortega,
Nick Vale
Chandler Klebs
Creating a world without blame and guilt
The world's first, and already successful* initiative, including two TV shows, to popularize the refutation of free will
*How it happened
Our World's top four minds, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud and Albert Einstein each rejected the notion of a human free will.
John Searle, the13th ranked post-1900 philosopher, says that our world overcoming the free will illusion "would be a bigger revolution in our thinking than Einstein, or Copernicus, or Newton, or Galileo, or Darwin -- it would alter our whole conception of our relation with the universe."

Landmark Coverage Refuting Free Will
USA Today - "Why you don't really have free will by Jerry Coyne January 1, 2012
"The debate about free will, long the purview of philosophers alone, has been given new life by scientists, especially neuroscientists studying how the brain works. And what they're finding supports the idea that free will is a complete illusion."
Time Magazine - "Think You're Operating on Free Will? Think Again" by Eben Harrell July 2, 2010
"In an intriguing review in the July 2 edition of the journal Science, published online Thursday, Ruud Custers and Henk Aarts of Utrecht University in the Netherlands lay out the mounting evidence of the power of what they term the 'unconscious will.'...John Bargh of Yale University, who 10 years ago predicted many of the findings discussed by Custers and Aarts in a paper entitled "The Unbearable Automaticity of Being," called the Science paper a "landmark — nothing like this has been in Science before."
The New York Times - "Your Move: The Maze of Free Will" by Galen Strawson July 22, 2010
"Some people think that quantum mechanics shows that determinism is false, and so holds out a hope that we can be ultimately responsible for what we do. But even if quantum mechanics had shown that determinism is false (it hasn’t), the question would remain: how can indeterminism, objective randomness, help in any way whatever to make you responsible for your actions? The answer to this question is easy. It can’t."
The Atlantic - "The Brain on Trial" by David Eagleman July/August 2011
"In modern science, it is difficult to find the gap into which to slip free will—the uncaused causer—because there seems to be no part of the machinery that does not follow in a causal relationship from the other parts."
The Telegraph - "Neuroscience, free will and determinism: 'I'm just a machine'" by Tom Chivers October 12, 2010
"The philosophical definition of free will uses the phrase 'could have done otherwise'... "As a neuroscientist, you've got to be a determinist. There are physical laws, which the electrical and chemical events in the brain obey. Under identical circumstances, you couldn't have done otherwise; there's no 'I' which can say 'I want to do otherwise'."
The Guardian - "Guilty but not responsible?" by Rosiland English May 29, 2012
"The discovery that humans possess a determined will has profound implications for moral responsibility. Indeed, Harris is even critical of the idea that free will is "intuitive": he says careful introspection can cast doubt on free will. In an earlier book on morality, Harris argues 'Thoughts simply arise in the brain. What else could they do? The truth about us is even stranger than we may suppose: The illusion of free will is itself an illusion'"
Psychology Today - "Free Will Is an Illusion, So What?" by Raj Raghunathan, Ph.D. May 8, 2012
If you think carefully about any decision you have made in the past, you will recognize that all of them were ultimately based on similar—genetic or social—inputs to which you had been exposed. And you will also discover that you had no control over these inputs, which means that you had no free will in taking the decisions you did.
A brief history of determined vs. free will ideas
Cause and Effect – At about the 5th century BC, in his work On the Mind, the Greek Philosopher Leucippus penned the earliest known universal statement describing what we today understand as determinism, or the law of cause and effect
“Nothing happens at random, but everything for a reason and by necessity.”
Human Will – The concepts of will and free will are actually Christian in orgin. It was Saint Paul in his Letter to the Romans, which is dated at about 58 A.D., who first discovered this thing we call human will. He came to it by recognizing that he could not often do as much right as he wanted. Saint Paul wrote in Romans 7:15 that:
“I don’t understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I can’t.” I do what I don’t want to – what I hate.” (Translation – The Living Bible)
Free Will -- Nothing new was said on the matter for the next few hundred years until St. Augustine grappled with the concepts of evil and justice. Saint Augustine wrote in his book De Libero Arbitrio, 386-395 A.D., (translated as “On Free Will”)
“Evil deeds are punished by the justice of God. They would not be punished justly if they had not been performed voluntarily.”
The problem he saw was that if human beings do not have a free will, it would be unfair for God to arbitrarily reward or punish us. St. Augustine concluded that God could not be unfair, and so he created the concept of a human free will, whereby we earn our reward or punishment by what we freely do.
Scientific concepts relating to the determined will vs. free will question
Classical Mechanics -- In 1687 Sir Isaac Newton publishes his “Laws of Motions” that mathematically describes the physical universe as acting in a mechanistic manner according to the principle of cause and effect.
Classical Mechanics is a completely deterministic theory
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle -- In 1925 Warner Heisenberg describes mathematically that…
We can measure the position of a particle or the momentum of a particle (momentum meaning its direction and velocity), but we cannot simultaneously measure the position and momentum of a particle.
Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics -- Niels Bohr and others make the following assertions;
1) Particles do not have a simultaneous position and momentum.
2) Elementary particles behave indeterministically, and are not subject to the principle of cause and effect.
Believers in free will saw the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics as providing a possibility for free will to exist. They asserted that if elementary particles behave indeterministically, they are not subject to the principle of cause and effect that prohibits free will.
But, as noted above, it eventually became apparent that indeterminism also prohibits free will.

21. How State-of-the-Universe Causality Makes Free Will Impossible
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on July 02, 2011, I explain how our universe evolves moment by moment in a completely causal way, and because our human will cannot escape that causality, free will must be impossible.
22. Why Deliberation is Not Evidence of Free Will
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on July 2, 2011, I explain that because deliberated decisions are made at the level of the unconscious, and are subject to causality, deliberation does not make for a free will.
23. Exploring Western Religious Perspectives on the Nature of Human Will
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on July 14, 2011, I present evidence that at least one Christian, St. Paul, seemed to understand that we humans do not have a free will, and why St. Augustine coined the term "free will" to explain evil in the world.
24. Implications of Overcoming the Illusion of Free Will
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on July 14, 2011, George Ortega presents some of the ways our lives would improve both personally and societally by overcoming our erroneous premise of free will.
25. Causal Reality, Off the Cuff #2
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on July 14, 2011, I talk extemporaneously about our causal, unconscious human will, and how a causal perspective can enhance our lives.
26. Because Elements of Every Decision are in the Unconscious, Free Will is Impossible
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free will, taped on July 26, 2011, I explain that because the processing center(s) and data upon which we base our every decision reside in our unconscious, free will is absolutely impossible.
27. Why If We Had a Free Will, We Could Not Interact with Inanimate Matter
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on July 26, 2011, I explain why it would be impossible for a will free of causality to act on matter that is completely governed by causality.
28. Galen Strawson's "Nothing Can be Causa Sui" Refutation of Free Will
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on August 9, 2011, I describe British philosopher Galen Strawson's refutation of free will based on a logical extension of the principle that nothing can be the cause of itself
29. Free Will vs. Causal, Unconscious Will Responses to Economic Downturns
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on August 9, 2011, I talk about how our perspective on human will dramatically effects our personal and societal responses to the economic challenges of our time.
30. Human Will, and the Operative Distinction between Determinism and Causality
In this episode of Exploring the Illusion of Free Will, taped on August 9, 2011, I address a common mistake many philosophers make in concluding that because determinism at the quantum level is not subject to accurate prediction via classical mechanics, that this process is therefore somehow acausal.

PREVIEW: Voice News Travels to DC to Inquire on Student Loan Rates Bill
Legislation Deadline Looms, Voice In-Depth Report Coming Soon
By Bronson Peshlakai
Metro Campus Editor-in-Chief
Voice News Metro Campus Editor-in-Chief Bronson Peshlakai records a stand-up in front of the White House June 4 for a story about Obama stressing the importance of the nation’s community colleges.

WASHINGTON — Voice News travels to the District of Columbia for unprecedented coverage of policy decisions that will affect Cuyahoga Community College and its students.
From the hallowed halls of the U.S. Capitol, the offices of Northeast Ohio’s congressional representatives and national organizations important to Tri-C’s success, Voice News Metro Campus Editor-in-Chief Bronson Peshlakai reports from Our Nation’s Capitol on stories important to students, faculty, staff and administration at Tri-C.
The main topic on the minds of lawmakers and students alike while in Washington, and into the coming weeks, is legislation that could keep the interest rate on student loans the same, or have it doubled.
The Republican-controlled U.S. House passed a version of the bill earlier that does not keep the Federal Stafford Loan interest rates capped at its current 3.4 percent – some Democrats voted against passage of this bill and President Obama has threatened to veto the bill – now the Senate has to consider the House version.
But, before that happens, Senate Republicans and Democrats each have their own versions of the student interest rate bill to debate.
Congress has until July 1 to decide which bill to pass for Obama’s consideration – and he’s made it clear he intends to keep student rates capped at its current rate.
In a Special Report on this issue, The Voice has visited the offices of U.S. Reps. Marcy Kaptur (D) and Marcia Fudge (D), and U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D) and Rob Portman (R) to ask the questions behind the scenes of a political showdown on The Hill.
The Voice will provide continuing coverage on this issue as news breaks, but the first of the series on the student loan interest rate bill will publish online soon.
While in Washington, The Voice also interviewed multiple sources on different enterprising stories and will publish them online soon:
Student Loan Interest Rates May Double, Congress Debating
With the deadline quickly approaching, Senate Republicans and Democrats have dueling legislations that will decide whether or not student loan interest rates will remain the same or double. The Voice interviews U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur and the spokesman for a group that lobbied lawmakers on student loans.
Communicating with your Elected Officials
With legislation being debated and decided by the people you elected into Congress, as well as the president, it’s important to realize your voice still counts after the election. The Voice interviewed lawmakers and their staff, as well as other high-level directors of national organizations who all say good-ole letter writing, or emailing, to your elected officials carry a lot of weight.
A Longtime Ohio U.S. Representative is a New Face to the Cleveland Area After Redistricting; an Introduction to Marcy Kaptur
U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) is the longest-serving member of Ohio’s 16 representatives in The House. However, since Jan. 3, she is a new face to many in West Cuyahoga County. Due to a reduction of population in the state, redistricting lines merged Kaptur’s Toledo district with much of Dennis Kucinich’s districts after he lost the congressional race. Who is Marcy Kaptur?
Obama Seeks More Graduates and Funding for Two-Year Colleges, Congress Slow to Take Action
A report from a DC think tank says community colleges have been receiving a lot more attention with Obama’s goal to bring America to a No. 1 rank in college graduations. But, the report says the change is all rhetoric because Congress disproportionately funds universities instead of the community colleges. Why?
Tri-C Draws Praise from National Organizations, Lawmakers
Tri-C has nation-wide recognition as an institution of excellence. The leading organization that helps steer the future of community colleges in the nation is the American Association of Community Colleges. Headquartered in Washington, this organization has Tri-C presidents Jerry Sue Thornton, Patricia Rowell and president-elect Alex Johnson serving in official capacity with the AACC.
Voice Recommendations on How to Survive a Trip to The District
Washington D.C. can be a town that can eat you alive if you never been here. With tons of police presence, snarled traffic, sardine-packed subway rides, an endless selection of sights to see with lines snaking in circles at those places, expensive hotels, no places to park… you get the point. I’ve got the answers, in this story. 🙂
PHOTO GALLERY: Newseum, Scenes from Our Nation’s Capital
In some cases pictures can be more beautiful than words. In my three-day trip to Washington, I snapped lots of pictures, including some at many of the exhibits at The Newseum, a collection of artifacts, history and interactive adventures in journalism. This photo gallery will likely inspire you to book your next vacation to Our Nation’s Capital.
The Voice is committed to bringing comprehensive coverage on issues surrounding the Tri-C community. Check back often throughout the summer here at CCCVOICE.COM.

Home Breaking News WTM in Canada ordered to forfeit
WTM in Canada ordered to forfeit
22 January 2011 05:01 am - 15 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
A pair of Canadian non-profit organizations the RCMP says raised millions of dollars for Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers rebels have been ordered to forfeit all their belongings to the federal government.
The Federal Court ruled the property of the World Tamil Movement of Ontario and the World Tamil Movement of Quebec was owned or controlled by a terrorist organization and therefore had to be forfeited.
The decision marks the official end of the WTM, which was formed in 1986 and became closely aligned with the fight for Tamil independence in Sri Lanka. It also marks the conclusion of a nine-year RCMP investigation that did not result in criminal charges.
“We still view this as a very positive ending in the sense that we did disrupt activities of terrorist financing in Canada, so that’s important to us,” RCMP Assistant Commissioner Gilles Michaud said on Friday.
Although the WTM has ceased to function, Assistant Comm. Michaud, head of National Security Criminal Investigations, said the Tamil Tigers are still a “group of interest” for RCMP counter-terrorism investigators.
“They do remain a focus because we do have concerns as to if they’re going to regroup and … if they do, how are they going to do it. Are they going to be going through violence or through political influence?”
Neither the Ontario nor Quebec WTM branches contested the forfeiture of their property. Representatives of the groups said it would have been too costly and there was little point since the civil war in Sri Lanka was over.
“The whole thing underlying this was support for a cause, and that cause seems to be quieter,” said Steven Slimovitch, the lawyer who represented the Quebec branch of the WTM. “It made sense to move on.”
Sitta Sittampalam, the former president of the WTM in Ontario, also said circumstances had changed. “When you look at what has happened since the events that have passed, it didn’t make sense for us to spend so much on litigation on this matter” he said. “The community is moving forward.”
The court orders make Ottawa the new owner of the WTM headquarters building in Montreal, several bank accounts, cash, and thousands of propaganda items, many of them bearing the militaristic emblem of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebel group.
The list of items seized by police includes boxes of LTTE flags, 20 t-shirts with the LTTE logo, 67 posters of LTTE theoretician Anton Balasingham, 5 garbage bags with the LTTE logo and calendars, watches and posters featuring images of rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.
What the government will do with it all is unclear. The court said the materials were “to be disposed of as the Attorney General directs or otherwise dealt with in accordance with the law.” For now, the forfeited items are being stored in Westmount, Que. and Newmarket, Ont.
“This decision by the Federal Court confirms that our efforts to disrupt terrorist activity in Canada are working,” said Christopher McCluskey, a spokesman for Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. “We applaud this decision.”
The investigation began in 2002, when the RCMP Integrated National Security Enforcement Team in Ontario launched what it called Project Osaluki. The following year, a similar probe called Project Crible began in Montreal. The Canada Border Services Agency and Royal Thai Police Force were also involved.
Police kept WTM activists under surveillance as they organized rallies in Canadian cities and traveled to Sri Lanka to meet the leadership of the Tamil Tigers. Some of the Canadian activists were photographed holding heavy weapons.
During an interview with RCMP officers in 2004, Mariyathas Manuel admitted the leader of the Tamil Tigers had personally chosen him to run the WTM office in Toronto. “They are fighting, so we are supporting them,” he said, according to a transcript filed in court.
In 2006, police raided the WTM offices in Toronto and Montreal, hauling away so much paraphernalia and documentation that investigators had to rent a moving truck. It took years to translate and analyze the seized evidence.
A forensic audit found that the WTM was running a pre-authorized payment program that withdrew monthly sums from the bank accounts of Canadians. The WTM took in up to $763,000 a year using the scheme. Most of the donors took part voluntarily but police also interviewed witnesses who said they were coerced or pressured into participating.
In addition, the WTM made money through bake sales, car washes, newspaper sales, merchandise sales and festivals. The RCMP traced more than $3-million that was forwarded from WTM bank accounts to overseas accounts. Most of the money went to a Malaysian account the RCMP said was linked to the rebels.
In addition, police found letters signed by rebel leaders in Sri Lanka asking for money specifically for weapons. A password-protected disc found in the WTM office in Toronto contained a document named Armscost that listed the prices of various military items needed by the rebels, including anti-aircraft missiles and artillery.
“In Canada, the WTM is the main front organization for the LTTE,” RCMP Corporal Steve Dubreuil wrote in an affidavit released by the court on Friday. “The WTM is an integral part of the LTTE strategy to raise funds for rearmament and to gain legitimacy as the sole representative of the Tamil people in the international community. Through the WTM, the leadership of the LTTE is influencing events within the Tamil Canadian community and exerting influence over their activities.” (Source: National Post)

Kane Saturday, 22 January 2011 09:32 AM
It is high time Sri Lankan people appreciate when countries like Canada take anti-LTTE actions and gain more support to Sri Lanka against LTTE, rather than antagonizing them with negagive comments and playing to the tune of LTTE propaganda mechanism.
Oyage Sudu Kella Saturday, 22 January 2011 09:54 AM

Blue 24 Returns and Other March Updates
Posted: Wednesday 29th March 2017 by Emyr MWT
Here are a few updates at the end of March
Blue 24 is Back!
At 13:54 on 24th March, our old friend Blue 24 returned to the Dyfi. This date is the earliest recorded of an osprey on the Dyfi nest - Nora in 2012 being the other record holder with the same date in 2012.
Glesni's cousin is the first to test out the new 2017 nest perch - in 4K resolution! (select 2160P & full screen)
Second Cors Dyfi Nest
In 2016, Blue 24 laid three eggs in another nest platform on Cors Dyfi that was too close to the primary nest in a polygamous relationship with Monty. These rarely if ever succeed in the UK (although they occasionally do in some other osprey populations around the world).
Based on photographic evidence, we said at the time that we'd ask regulatory and legal permission over the winter to remove this nest, and we did. A licence was issued at the end of February and yesterday morning we removed it.
The Cors Dyfi nest is hauled down under licence
We want to give Blue 24 the best possible chance of attracting a mate and breeding for herself with her own mate. She is seven years old this year and we'll hopefully have a few more males around if some of the birds from 2014/5 return. Look out for another blog on this next week.
We started a day earlier than planned, Friday 24th March, but with a few teething problems.
Since Friday we've changed servers to eliminate the stuttering and restored the audio feed, although it is a bit crackly. We're looking into this.
We've also completely eliminated the compression (a necessary evil for live streaming with low broadband speeds) and raised the bit-rate. With the fibre broadband connection we have at DOP this year, the pictures will be the best we've ever had.
Blue 24 caught at 60 frames per second on the new Larch Cam
A new, very powerful PC is being built at the moment that is optimised to deal with high definition and 4K resolution cameras. This encoder PC should give another tweak in LS performance - less pixelation, less digital artefacts and blurriness, more clarity and colour gamut.
Network Rail have also kindly replaced our electrical supply to the nest with new infrastructure - many thanks Ian and Gavin at Network Rail. We took advantage of a four hour break in the electricity yesterday to replace the dome on the current LS camera. The smudges and scratches have now gone.
We've started the LS with CAM 2 as usual, that's the one that is low down pointing north straight across the nest. We'll change cameras throughout the season to give you the best views.
Live Streaming Appeal
We've just topped £13,000 - thank you everyone that has donated, we're two-thirds of the way there in just three weeks. We hope you can see, and will continue to see, improvements in the Live Streaming this year. We've worked hard over the winter to design the best possible viewing experience - and there's more to come!
You can donate on the Live Streaming page
Stunning - Blue 24 clearly impressed with the new camera set-up. 50p
Monty and Glesni
The stars of the show are hopefully on their way.
Neither Monty nor Glesni have ever returned in March - they are relatively late returners considering they breed so far south in the UK. They usually return during the first week in April, so not long now...
Finally, a lot of people including newer ospreys fans found this family tree useful on Facebook last week - here it is again. We've already seen Clarach return last year - who will be next...?

Agriculturalism
Title: Agriculturalism
Subject: Egalitarianism, Chinese philosophy, Xu Xing (philosopher), Houji, Nine Schools of Thought
Agriculturalism, also known as the School of Agrarianism, the School of Agronomists, the School of Tillers, and in Chinese as the Nongjia (農家/农家), was an early agrarian Chinese philosophy that advocated peasant utopian communalism and egalitarianism.[1] The Agriculturalists believed that Chinese society should be modeled around that of the early sage king Shennong, a folk hero who was portrayed in Chinese literature as "working in the fields, along with everyone else, and consulting with everyone else when any decision had to be reached."[1] They encouraged farming and agriculture and taught farming and cultivation techniques, as they believed that agricultural development was the key to a stable and prosperous society.
Agriculturalism was suppressed during the Qin Dynasty and most original texts are now lost. However, concepts originally associated with Agriculturalism have had an impact on Confucianism, Legalism, and Chinese philosophy as a whole.[2] Agriculturalism has significantly influenced Chinese thought, and has been viewed as an essence of the Chinese identity.[3]
2.1 Political
2.2 Economic
3.1 Influence
To the Agriculturalists, the governance and focus on agriculture by the legendary ruler Shennong served as a model of the ideal government.
Agriculturalism dates back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States era, during a period known as the "Hundred Schools of Thought" which flourished from 770 to 221 BC. Throughout this period, competing states, seeking to war with one another and unite China as a single country, patronized philosophers, scholars, and teachers. The competition by scholars for the attention of rulers led to the development of different schools of thought, and the emphasis on recording teachings into books encouraged their spread.[4] The result was an era characterized by significant intellectual and cultural developments.[4] The major philosophies of China, Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and Taoism, all originated from this period.
Chinese tradition attributes the origin of Agriculturalism to the Chinese minister Hou Ji, a figure known for his innovations in agriculture.[2] The Agriculturalists also emphasized the role of Shennong, the divine farmer, a semi-mythical ruler of early China credited by the Chinese as the inventor of agriculture. Shennong was seen as a proto-Agriculturalist, whose governance and focus on agriculture served as a model of the ideal Agriculturalist government.[2]
Xu Xing, a philosopher who defended Agriculturalism, settled with a group of followers in the state of Teng in about 315 BC. A disciple of his visited the Confucian philosopher Mencius, and a short report of their conversation discussing Xu Xing's philosophy survives.[5]
The rise of the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC saw the purge of the Hundred Schools of Thought, including Agriculturalism. The Legalist Qin dynasty was intolerant of other schools of thought, seeking to burn any text that did not adhere to the Legalist philosophy.[6] Because of this, few Agriculturalist texts exist, and most of what is known of Agriculturalism comes from critical assessments by other philosophical schools.[2]
The bibliography of the Book of Han (2nd century AD) presents Agriculturalism as one of 10 philosophical schools and lists 9 books belonging to that school.[5]
Agriculturalism is primarily a social, economic, and political philosophy. The philosophy is founded on the notion that human society originates with the development of agriculture, and societies are based upon "people's natural prospensity to farm."[2] The Agriculturalists described the ancient political system, seen as ideal, as one where "the means by which the early sage kings led their people was to put agriculture before all other affairs.. the reason why Hou Ji undertook agriculture was because he considered it to be the root of instructing the masses."[2]
To the Agriculturalists, the ideal society, modeled after that of Shennong's, is communal, agrarian, and egalitarian.[1] The Agriculturalist believed that the ideal government is led by a benevolent king, one who works alongside the people in tilling the fields. The Agriculturalist king is not paid by the government through its treasuries; his livelihood is derived from the profits he earns working in the fields and cooking his own meals, not his leadership.[7] Said Xu Xing, a prominent Agriculturalist:
The ruler of Teng is an upright and worthy ruler. However, he has yet to hear the Way. A wise ruler tills the land together with his people to make his living. He governs while cooking his own meals. Now, that Teng has granaries and treasuries means that [the ruler] inflicts hardship on the people to fatten himself. How can he be a worthy ruler?
—Xu Xing[7]
Unlike the Confucians, the Agriculturalists did not believe in the division of labour, arguing instead that the economic policies of a country need to be based upon an egalitarian self sufficiency.[7] The Agriculturalists supported the fixing of prices, in which all similar goods, regardless of differences in quality and demand, are set at exactly the same, unchanging price. They suggested that people should be paid the same amount for the same services, a policy criticized by the Confucians as encouraging products of low quality, which "destroys the earnest standards of craftmanship."[7]
Agriculturalism was criticized extensively by rival philosophical schools, including the Mohist Mo Zi, the Confucian Mencius, and Yang Zhu.[2] Mencius criticized its chief proponent Xu Xing for advocating that rulers should work in the fields with their subjects, arguing that the Agriculturalist egalitarianism ignored the division of labour central to society. He points out that other early Chinese rulers did not work in fields, yet were equally as successful and revered as Shennong.[7] Mencius dismisses Xu Xing as a "Southern barbarian with a twittering tongue."[7]
The Legalist Qin Dynasty purged rival philosophical schools, including Agriculturalism, burning many Agriculturalist texts. However, Agriculturalism in its heyday heavily influenced the agrarian policies of Confucianism, Legalism, and other philosophical schools,[2] so many concepts originally associated with the Agriculturalists continued to exist in Chinese philosophy. The transmission and translation of Chinese philosophical texts in Europe during the 18th century had a heavy influence on the development of Agrarianism in Europe. The French agrarianist philosophy, a predecessor to modern Agrarianism, of François Quesnay and the Physiocrats, are said to have been modeled after the agrarian policies of Chinese philosophy.[8]

Plans to improve flood defences in York’s Museum Gardens approved
Created by Environment Agency 0 comments
A scheme which will better protect properties in the Marygate area by improving defences in Museum Gardens has been approved by City of York Council planning officers today (Thursday 26 November).
Due to the impact of climate change there is a need to raise the existing flood defences between Scarborough Bridge and Lendal Bridge and provide an improved continuous line of defence.
This scheme will better protect 42 homes and 15 businesses within the Marygate community of York.
The Museum Gardens embankment is within an area designated as Scheduled Monument and a Grade II listed park and garden and next to one of the rarest trees in the country. It is also within an area of archaeological importance. Improvements to the embankment are part of the wider Marygate flood scheme, which also includes other works that do not need planning permission.
Emma Beever, project manager from the Environment Agency, said:
We are delighted to have been given planning approval to take us a step closer to constructing this section of the York Flood Alleviation Scheme, which will protect 2,000 properties in the city.
By strengthening and raising existing flood defences in the area we can make York more resilient to climate change.
We have worked closely with York Museum Trust, City of York Council and Historic England to come up with a design that not only acts as a viable flood defence, but also fits in with this much used and well-loved public space in the heart of our City. We have also been able to protect the true service tree, which is very rare and was a key concern for local people.
Work in the Museum Gardens will start next August when the weather is more likely to be dry to minimise its impact. The Gardens will stay open throughout the four month project, but access will be restricted near the embankment and the footpaths behind the Hospitum will be closed.
The project team has been working with partners to develop a design which minimises the impact on the gardens and Hospitium. The construction area in the gardens will be as small as possible within safety limits. The site compound located at Marygate and the work to raise the defences from Scarborough Bridge to Marygate is expected to start prior to the works in Museum Gardens.
A virtual public event was held in July to outline the design of the flood defence improvements and the realignment of the embankment to protect one of rarest trees in the country following feedback from the community.
The project includes:-raising the flood wall from Scarborough Bridge to Earlsborough Terrace and replace the existing flood gate with a taller one which will be altered to improve access for cyclists .raising existing defences on Earlsborough Terrace by 40cm by installing glass panels on top of the existing brick walls and replacing the 10 existing flood gates. This will help the community adapt to climate change while maintaining their connection with the river.raising and extending the existing flood embankment in Museum Gardens between 30 and 60cm. The design of the embankment has been developed to not only act as a viable flood defence, but to also to fit in with this much used and well loved public space.raising the existing flood wall from Earlsborough Terrace to Marygate by 45cm and the existing flood gate on Marygate.
To allow the embankment to be raised, its footprint will need to be increased so up to 15 trees will have to be removed. For every tree removed, five will be replanted and where possible this will be in Museum Gardens.
This work forms part of 45 million York Flood Alleviation Scheme, which will better protect 2,000 homes in the city from flooding.
Since 2015, the Government has invested 496m on flood defences in Yorkshire more than any other region better protecting more than 66,000 properties. Across the country Environment Agency flood schemes protected almost 130,000 properties during the winter 2019/20 flooding.

As the energy and excitement of the 2012 Paralympics continues in London, a different yet likeminded kind of celebration has opened in Gyeonggi-do (Gyeonggi Province).
From August 1 to October 7, the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art in the city of Ansan is hosting an exhibit entitled “Different and Special” featuring works by 43 artists.
"Different and Special," featuring works by 43 artists with disabilities from Korea, America, and Japan, will be held at the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art until October 7. The pictured work is by Merritt Wallace of Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California (photo courtesy of the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art).
Despite hailing from different cultural settings, namely, Korea, Japan, and the United States, the artists share in common not only a unique capacity for creative expression but also a background of developmental disability.
The over 400 works selected for “Different and Special,” the largest exhibit of works by artists with disabilities in Korea, spans a wide range of media, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and video art.
Pictured are works by Korean artists Lee Seung-yun (top), Park Beom (bottom left), and Kim Do-hyeon (bottom right) (photos courtesy of the Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art).
According to exhibit curator and Gyeonggi Museum of Modern Art Director Choi Hyo-joon, “Different and Special” was designed on the premise that support for disabled artists can and should transition from a charity-based approach to one that seeks to foster the conditions in which artists can actively exercise their freedom of cultural expression.
With this, said Choi, it is hoped that the exhibit will play a part in helping to dismantle social prejudices about disabilities and create a space for artists with developmental disabilities to communicate with the world through their art.

“Different and Special” was organized in partnership with the Able Art Center in Suwon, Rawside in Seoul, Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California, and Tanpopo-no-ye Foundation in Japan, all of which aim to empower artists with disabilities.
On September 20, a special forum will be held at the museum to discuss various approaches to reforming current perceptions and policies regarding the disabled and artists with disabilities.

Why Is Port 25 Usually Blocked? How Can You Check If It Is?
How Can You Find Out What Your Smtp Port Is?
For Completeness: Port 25
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Port 587: The Standard Secure Smtp Port
Why Should I Worry About My Ssl Port?
Many e mail clients have been also designed on this time to solely work with implicit SSL/TLS on port 465. This made it very tough to remove port 465 as an possibility for customers, despite the fact that it was formally revoked. Since email expertise like IMAP, POP, and SMTP were already around when SSL/TLS was invented, plain text connections have been expected throughout the standard ports of 143, a hundred and ten, and 25. While many providers supported using STARTTLS to improve the connection on these ports, if a shopper didn’t also assist this, there was a threat of delicate info like passwords being transmitted in plain textual content.
Today, many e mail providers, together with Fastmail, now disable plain textual content IMAP and POP logins totally on ports 143 and a hundred and ten, leaving encrypted connections on ports 993 and 995 as the only possibility. This makes sure all shoppers use encrypted SSL/TLS connections to protect sensitive information.
Even if the internet connectivity between your servers and ESP drops, your postfix set up is smart sufficient to queue up the emails and resend it once the connection is resumed. So, don’t worry about building the intelligence into your sending application for dealing with all these queues. Let’s say every of these persistent connections is able to sending a hundred emails/sec. That means, all five together will have the ability to ship 500 emails in a second’s time.
Unless you might be specifically managing a mail server, you should not have any site visitors traversing this port in your server. The port was assigned for about one year when it was revoked in assist of securing SMTP communications utilizing Transport Layer Security .
At this time, however, the business had moved on to the expectation that every one connections for IMAP, POP, and SMTP could be upgraded securely utilizing STARTTLS as an alternative of the popular implicit TLS today. For this purpose, shortly after port 465 was outlined, it was revoked. All clients were expected to move over to use STARTTLS on port 587.
But, nonetheless many providers continue to supply the deprecated SMTPS interface on port 465. Service providers that keep port 465 achieve this as a result of older Microsoft purposes do not help STARTTLS. Later on in early 1997, the IANA registered 465 for SMTPS. It was initially planned for the SMTPS encryption and authentication “wrapper” over SMTP. But the tip of 1998, this was revoked in favor of STARTTLS over SMTP .
With STARTTLS, this port can be used with or with out TLS. Despite that fact, there are lots of servers that support the deprecated protocol wrapper, primarily to support older clients that carried out SMTPS.
Most of the internet hosting suppliers block these e mail ports to protect their community from sending any spam emails. The relying party would often verify existence of such record, and cache it for the period of time specified in the document and never communicate over insecure channels until report expires. Note that MTA-STS data apply solely to SMTP visitors between mail servers whereas communications between end consumer and the mail server are protected by HTTPS, HTTP Strict Transport Security. The SMTP-AUTH extension provides an entry control mechanism. It consists of an authentication step by way of which the shopper effectively logs into the mail server through the means of sending mail.
Servers that help SMTP-AUTH can normally be configured to require shoppers to use this extension, making certain the true id of the sender is known. Modern clients might use the ESMTP extension keyword SIZE to query the server for the utmost message size that will be accepted.
If you configure your outbound SMTP server to send over port 587, it’s likely the recipient mail server does not respond since they are not listening for SMTP connections over 587. Even if they have been, 587 requires authentication so your server would have to be configured to authenticate towards their server should you wanted to ship them a message. An SMTP server is a computer that powers the protocol your e-mail shopper uses when sending, receiving and/or relaying outgoing messages. PowerMTA is one of the main SMTP servers because it allows senders to undertake the latest authentication specifications for sending high volume emails and to comply with new authentication insurance policies. Modern e-mail servers use port 587 for the safe submission of e mail for delivery.

However, many ESPs have adopted implicit TLS on port 465. While you’ll be able to ship email over port 25 and 2525, it’s rather more secure to have the messages encrypted. This makes port 587 the preferred choice for sending, with port 465 as a close second. Historically, port 465 was initially planned for the SMTPS encryption and authentication “wrapper” over SMTP, but it was rapidly deprecated in favor of STARTTLS over SMTP .
If so, the sending server can improve the connection utilizing the “STARTTLS” SMTP command. The result is that typically, methods that supply message submission over port 587 require purchasers to make use of STARTLS to upgrade the connection and in addition require a username and password to authenticate. There has been an additional advantage to this method as nicely. Message submission and SMTP-AUTH were launched in 1998 and 1999, each describing new developments in e mail delivery.
Originally, SMTP servers have been usually inside to an organization, receiving mail for the organization from the skin, and relaying messages from the organization to the skin. But as time went on, SMTP servers , in practice, had been expanding their roles to become message submission brokers for Mail user agents, a few of which had been now relaying mail from the skin of a corporation. Work on message submission was originally started as a result of well-liked mail servers would usually rewrite mail in an attempt to fix problems in it, for example, adding a site name to an unqualified tackle.
For example, if you use an e mail consumer software program like Outlook or Apple Mail, it more than likely is configured to use this port to send your messages. Systems that transmit messages to an e mail supply service like SparkPost also ought to be configured to make use of this port. From 1982 until date, Port 25 is used because the default port to speak e-mail across the Internet using the SMTP. Most SMTP purchasers aren’t using Port 25 due to many ISPs and hosting suppliers block or prohibit SMTP connections on port 25. This is finished to cut down a variety of unsolicited emails which are despatched from their networks.
Port 587 is the nicely-recognized port for submitting mail to a server, incessantly encrypted utilizing STARTTLS. Some e mail service providers allow their customers to make use of the SMTPS protocol to access a TLS-encrypted model of the “submission” service on port 465. Port 2525 isn’t an official SMTP port, and it is not sanctioned by the IETF nor IANA.
Port 587 has at all times been the default port for message submission. The confusion around port 465 and port 587 stems again to 1997 when a regular for encrypted transit was being discussed. This permits a consumer to ship with plaintext, or improve their connection to TLS utilizing the same port.
User-level e-mail purchasers sometimes use SMTP only for sending messages to a mail server for relaying, and typically submit outgoing e-mail to the mail server on port 587 or 465 as per RFC 8314. The appropriate reply to this query REFERRAL MARKETING: 8 TIPS FOR BUILDING A POWERFUL REFERRAL CHANNEL has been modified by the publication of RFC 8314. As a result, port 465 and 587 are both valid ports for a mail submission agent . Port 465 requires negotiation of TLS/SSL at connection setup and port 587 makes use of STARTTLS if one chooses to negotiate TLS.
ESMTP was defined in November 1995 in IETF publication RFC 1869 which established a general construction for all present and future extensions. ESMTP defines consistent and manageable means by which ESMTP purchasers and servers could be recognized and servers can indicate supported extensions. A number of optional extensions specify varied mechanisms to address these issues. Email is submitted by a mail consumer to a mail server using SMTP on TCP port 587. Most mailbox providers still permit submission on traditional port 25.
As a result, port 465 and 587 are each valid ports for a mail submission agent .
User-stage email clients typically use SMTP just for sending messages to a mail server for relaying, and typically submit outgoing e-mail to the mail server on port 587 or 465 as per RFC 8314.
The correct answer to this question has been changed by the publication of RFC 8314.
For mail relay, only port 25 is used so STARTTLS is the only approach to do TLS with mail relay.
SMTP, quick for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is the usual protocol for email transmission on the net. It’s what mail servers use to ship and receive emails on the Internet. Port 587 is technically right, the most effective type of correct.
As an Internet standard, SMTP was first outlined in 1982 by RFC821, and updated in 2008 by RFC5321 to Extended SMTP additions, which is the protocol selection in widespread use right now. Mail servers and other message transfer agents use SMTP to ship and receive mail messages.
Unless you need to support older shoppers, SMTPS and its use on port 465 should stay nothing more than a historic footnote. Klensin submitted RFC 2476 in help of adding a new specification for internet email communications. The RFC proposed a break up of the normal message submission and message relay idea. The RFC outlined that message submission ought to occur over port 587 to ensure new policy and security necessities do not intrude with the standard relay site visitors over message relay port 25.
Just like port 587, most implementations that pay attention on port 2525 additionally help TLS encryption. Like different Internet providers corresponding to web pages, SMTP e mail relies on domains and Internet addresses to know the place to send messages. All of us right now are conversant in the textual model of those addresses, like Most of us know that the textual content address stands in for a numeric IP handle like 107.21.246.67. But not as many people know that these community addresses also embrace specific “port numbers.” An “SMTP port” refers to the specific a part of the Internet address that’s used to switch e-mail.
To arrange your email consumer to ship mail via Yahoo Mail, you’ll want the SMTP settings. You can submit all your emails to the local Postfix out of your utility and set up the SMTP of any ESP like Pepipost as a smart host within the relay settings.
The nail in the coffin was a new protocol command “STARTTLS,” introduced in RFC 2487. This command allows SMTP servers to communicate over present ports by advertising whether or not the vacation spot server helps TLS encryption.

In 1982, the University of Southern California submitted a proposal to the Internet Engineering Task Force . Request For Comments 821 was printed, establishing port 25 as the default transmission channel for internet email. 30 years later, we nonetheless use port 25 as the first means of transmitting e mail between two mail servers. A few RFCs have obsoleted the initial SMTP RFC. However, the basis for SMTP connections stays the same or similar.
This behavior is useful when the message being fixed is an preliminary submission, but dangerous and dangerous when the message originated elsewhere and is being relayed. Cleanly separating mail into submission and relay was seen as a method to permit and encourage rewriting submissions whereas prohibiting rewriting relay. As spam turned more prevalent, it was additionally seen as a means to offer authorization for mail being sent out from a company, in addition to traceability. This separation of relay and submission quickly grew to become a foundation for modern e mail safety practices. At the time, it was a complement to Unix to Unix Copy Program mail, which was higher suited to dealing with e-mail transfers between machines that have been intermittently connected.
If you employ Yahoo Mail, you could use the service’s online portal to ship, obtain, manage, and manage e-mail. You can use a separate client, corresponding to Outlook, to ship e mail through Yahoo’s servers. One advantage of setting up e-mail this way is that you can handle your email accounts in a single utility.
Often, these two brokers are situations of the identical software launched with completely different options on the same machine. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a communication protocol for electronic message transmission.
If you’re configuring your WordPress website or e-mail client to ship emails by way of SMTP , you’ll almost always need to use port 587. Again, this is the default SMTP port for submission and it helps safe transmission through TLS.
Older shoppers and servers may attempt to switch excessively sized messages that will be rejected after consuming network assets, together with connect time to community links that is paid by the minute. Once delivered to the local mail server, the mail is saved for batch retrieval by authenticated mail shoppers . Webmail clients could use either methodology, but the retrieval protocol is commonly not a proper normal. Port 25 had been a big supply of spam because of customers’ computer systems being infected with spam sending viruses, so this has greatly decreased the amount of spam sent through companies which have blocked this port. Port 587, outlined particularly for message submission, supported upgrading to a secure reference to STARTTLS.
SMTP servers commonly use the Transmission Control Protocol on port number 25. Mail consumer software program could be very long lived, and it can be challenging for most users to make modifications to ports and server settings themselves.
Using STARTTLS the server can serve each encrypted visitors and unencrypted traffic over the identical socket, i.e. you need to use port 25 for each. You can see if a SMTP server has STARTTLS enabled by connecting to it on port 25 and issuing the EHLO command as Dan explains elsewhere on this page. For non-Gmail clients, Gmail helps the standard IMAP, POP, and SMTP protocols. The Gmail IMAP, POP, and SMTP servers have been prolonged to help authorization by way of the industry-normal OAuth 2.0 protocol.
The precise throughput of emails finally depends on the configuration of the server, community pace, useful resource consumption, and much more. You can additional optimize the connections through the use of multiple bodily machines or a number of machines beneath NAT. Extended SMTP , generally referred to as Enhanced SMTP, is a definition of protocol extensions to the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol standard.
SMTP, then again, works greatest when each the sending and receiving machines are linked to the community all the time. Both use a retailer and ahead mechanism and are examples of push expertise. Though Usenet’s newsgroups are still propagated with UUCP between servers, UUCP as a mail transport has virtually disappeared along with the “bang paths” it used as message routing headers. Services supporting SMTP for message submission now require that clients connecting on the usual port 587 upgrade the connection using STARTTLS, and sign up with a username and password. Port 465 was also outlined for SMTP submission, and unlike port 587, 465 specifically supported implicit TLS identical to port 993 for IMAP and 995 for POP.
There were additionally security issues with using the one port and upgrading the connection. Even if the server rejected the connection, the login particulars had already been despatched unencrypted anyway, which left them weak. Some time after these new ports to assist implicit TLS have been agreed upon, it was determined that having two ports for each protocol was wasteful. In order to help solely a single port, STARTTLS was created as a method for a consumer to attach over plain textual content, and then improve the connection to a safe one that used SSL/TLS.
Port 465 presently shows as registered for each Source-Specific Multicast and submissions. This port was initially used for the SMTPS encryption and authentication “wrapper” over SMTP. It was introduced to securely send emails utilizing Secure Sockets Layer . SSL was commonly used for encrypting communications over the internet. By the tip of 1998, IANA has reassigned this port number for a new service.
The IANA registry was updated to permit reliable use of port 465 for this function. For mail relay, solely port 25 is used so STARTTLS is the only way to do TLS with mail relay. Most email software used SMTP on port 25 to submit messages to the e-mail server for onward transmission to the vacation spot. However, SMTP was originally designed for switch, not submission. To answer your second query, sure, most SMTP servers will attempt to determine a connection to the recipient mail server using port 25.
Despite that fact, there are most likely many servers that help the deprecated protocol wrapper, primarily to support older shoppers that carried out SMTPS. Unless you should assist such older shoppers, SMTPS and its use on port 465 should remain nothing greater than an historic footnote. This is an extension to the SMTP protocol and thus requires both the server and the consumer to help it.
This put passwords at significant threat of being stolen if an attacker had been watching the connection. In early 1997, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority registered port 465 for smtps.Late 1998 this was revoked when STARTTLS was standardized. With STARTTLS, the same port can be used with or with out TLS. The use of properly-identified ports for mail exchanges speaking with SMTP was mentioned particularly on the time.
However, SparkPost and many different e mail service providers support using port 2525 as an alternative choice to port 587 for SMTP, in the event the above ports are blocked. (One notable example where that is required is for services hosted on Google Compute Engine.) If you’ve tried port 587 but expertise connectivity points, try port 2525.

J. Cole Praises ‘GQ’ Citizen Of The Year Colin Kaepernick
He’s been vilified by millions and locked out of the NFL—all because he took a knee to protest police brutality. But Colin Kaepernick’s determined stand puts him in rare company in sports history: Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson—athletes who risked everything to make a difference.
“Colin and I met years ago. I am—I was—a big 49ers fan. I met him during his breakout season. I actually went to the first game he really played in, against the Jets. I just happened to be at that game. It hit another level for me the second I learned he was taking a knee. And it wasn’t just that—it was when I saw the shit he was saying in the interviews when they pressed him about it. His answers were just so clear and potent. Like, right on point. And he wasn’t backing down. And he wasn’t afraid. He was just being honest. And it didn’t seem like he was looking for attention. It caught me off guard because, you know, nothing personally against him, I just didn’t know when I met him that the person with the biggest balls in sports would be him.
You’re talking about a guy in his athletic prime, who’s lived his whole life dreaming about playing football at a level that millions of kids dream to get to. And in his first big season, he takes his team to within five yards of winning a Super Bowl. But then, at some point in time, he becomes conscious about what’s happening in the world. And suddenly something that he’s been doing blindly for his whole life—standing for the national anthem—now feels uncomfortable. Why? Because now it feels phony! It feels like, Man, how can I stand for this thing when this country is not holding itself true to the principles it says it stands for? I feel like we’re lying. And look what happens to him. Had he not done that, this guy would be making millions of dollars right now. Period, point blank. And more important than the money, he was living his dream. He sacrificed his dream.” – Cole

Fallout: Lanius update
Fallout: Lanius update [ Film & TV -> Interview ]
Posted by King of Creation Sun 29 Apr 2012, 7:16 AM
More info on Film & TV: Fallout: Lanius | More info on Person: Wade Savage
Wade Savage, the man behind Fallout: Lanius, let me know about a new interview he's done for Wethegamerz. Here are some highlights:
What inspired you to create a short film about Lanius?
I’ve been a Fallout fan since the first two games, of which I’ve played over and over. I enjoyed Fallout 3, but Fallout: New Vegas was something altogether different. I really loved the atmosphere and writing. I loved the characters and voice acting, how the world was put together and fleshed out.
I’ve been wanting to do a Video Game Fan film for years, but I just needed to do something no one had done before. I thought the Lanius origin story was really fun, and that the tribal/Caesar’s Legion dynamic is rarely looked at. I wasn’t really interested in doing the usual Fallout stuff, as I think that ‘Nuka Break’ covered it.
Have other Fallout fan films, like Fallout: Nuka Break, inspired your creative direction at all?
‘Nuka Break’ played a big role in my wanting to do a ‘serious’ toned Fallout film. They’ve done an amazing job at creating a parody/comedy/meta Fallout world. I’m more interested in drama, conflict and the exploration of people in a harsh world. I’ve also seen ‘Desert Story’, ‘Deprivation’ and I’ve been contacted by the ‘Fallout: Houston’ folks, who are fantastic. My primary inspiration however is the tone and atmosphere of Fallout: New Vegas. Nothing can beat that.
As for questions about the title character himself: Lanius is such an enigmatic character, with several origin stories. How will you work to build that aura of mystery around him?
Before I even touched the script, I made sure to contact both Chris Avellone (Creative Director at Obsidian) and John Gonzalez (Lead writer on Fallout: New Vegas). I wanted to make sure I had a good understanding of what Lanius was as a character, rather than just a video game antagonist. The way that I’ve written him, he’s this warrior who only lives for victory. However, he’s not an animal. He has a very particular set of values. Mind you, his people are still pretty freaked out by him because he’s kind of emotionless. He’s a very tricky character to write, but I believe we’ve got the right elements together to make him work.
Will there be any light shed on the Hidebarks, the tribe Lanius belonged to before joining the Legion?
Yes, this will be the first time that Lanius’ tribe, the Hidebarks, will be seen. The idea that our designer Simon Boxer has, was to make them this clash of tribal elements of the White Legs and tribal ideas from Fallout 2. The way I see them, the Hidebark were nastier and smarter than the White Legs (from ‘Honest Hearts’) , but were too small to really continue their campaign against the Legion.
Will Joshua Graham, The Burned Man, play a part in Fallout: Lanius?
Sadly, not in this film. Aside from Lanius, Joshua Graham and The Survivalist (Randall Clark) are my favourite Fallout characters. Depending on how this film goes, I’d love to do a film about either of them next…
Lanius has led numerous successful conquests for the Legion. Will we see what made him such an efficient leader?
In Fallout: Lanius, we primarily explore the origin story of Legate Lanius and how he became the man he is. However, that’s not saying we don’t see him in action. We do also get to see his unrelenting expectations of others. He’s a kind of death before dishonour kind of man, and we get to see that. I’ve also seen him as a fantastic tactician, but in terms of this film we see firsthand why he’s so bloodthirsty.
Lanius appears to be generally disliked by the Legion, with Caesar refusing to call him a “great man”. Will we see what made the Legion dislike Lanius?
Oh yeah. In fact, we see in the opening scene of the film why they hate him- but I won’t spoil it. Let’s just say, when he wants to, Lanius can really make a mess.
Will we get to see Lanius in his iconic armor?
Absolutely. I’ve got one of the hottest Special FX designers in Australia already working on it. It’s going to look pretty damn cool.
Okay, last question–I think I already know the answer, but what faction do you normally side with, and why?
Actually, on my first run through I did the ‘Yes Man’ independent New Vegas ending. I didn’t do a Legion ending until on my second play through! My personal preference, is to play a pragmatic character. Cruel, but kind too. Again, another reason I loved Fallout: New Vegas so much. Very few games give you the feeling that your choices have real consequences.

Pulseboy was having system issues with his Motherboard because she was sending interrupt request commands to clean his ROM.
Great track, despite the awkward story line. :-)
Rob F. Switch November 9, 2012 at 9:12 AM
clean his ROM!!! nice!!
McCHitman (Issaac McCurn) November 8, 2012 at 3:54 AM
The Smurfs - Alberto Jose Gonzalez - Act 3 & 10 (The Swamps & Gargamel Manor House), This track is amazing. Might be my new favorite video game track. Keep up the great work fellas.
The Long Version November 8, 2012 at 4:01 AM
Yeah, that was a really great track! I also ended up really liking the Chiki Chiki BOIZZZ track. That, or Pulse Boy was probably my favorite of the episode.
I'm calling it right now. That Smurfs track will be on my top 10 list next year!
Big Mike November 8, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Daze reminds me of the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack.
WTF, Pulseman? I'm with St. John on that one.
I'm staring a band called Fumihitos In Iowa.
I did a little half assed research, and to the best of my knowledge, these are Konami's 8 bit departure points, as far as how the games sound:
1985, Yie-Ar Kung Fu is the 1st game, begins the "original" 8 bit Konami sound. In the 1985-86 phase includes games such as TwinBee and Gradius.
As far as I can tell, Castlevania's 1986 release begins the slightly more involved second wave of Konami soundtracks, which includes Top Gun, Goonies 2, and Metal Gear. I could be wrong though.
Again, as far as I can tell, Castlevania 2 (1987) starts the "signature" Konami sound, with the fully realized drum tracks, which sound like actual songs. I'm more inclined to believe that 1988's Wai Wai World is a better exampleof a trasition game, because about half of the soundtrack sounds like old Konami and half sounds like signature Konami. The next game after that is Contra, and there's no turning back after Contra as we all know. I think this period contains the bulk of Konami soundtracks that we all know and love, followed by the final transition.
And I think the game that finally pushes Konami into their most involved 8 bit music starts in 1989 with Super C. Then the music basically diesn't evolve much for the next few years, until the 16 bit era.
Again, just a cursory snooping around. If anybody cares to do a more involved investigation, feel free.
Yeah, there are tons of Fumahitos here in Iowa, especially in the rural areas.
That's good work on those konami tracks. I can't think of any issues with it! Konami really was a treasure trove of great music. I actually think I like the 16-bit stuff better (i like 16-bit vgm better than 8 bit vgm in general), but I definitely think the 8-bit konami music is so much more iconic!
Big Mike November 9, 2012 at 11:06 PM
I love the 16 bit Konami tracks too, but I have an app for my mostly useless android called MODO music player that will only play the nsf/nsfe files. so, i have probably 75% of the soundtracks from the nes and famicom era at this point. it's actually a great app, but it won't display song tiles from the nsfe files. anyway, listening to the soundtracks i had combined with the konami wikipedia page was how i came to my timeline.
but yeah, i admit i'm more of an 8 bit guy. the period when the nes was exploding also happened to be my sponge period, the period where i started playing music and video games (and discovered girls). today they call em tweens, i guess.
i didn't realize at the time how my wanting to play music and loving video games were connected. i didnt connect those dots until i was about 20.
The Long Version November 10, 2012 at 5:27 AM
Oh, do you make music? What kind of music, and what instrument (s)? Chip music, quote unquote "real music", both independently, or a fusion? If you have anything, I'd definitely be interested in hearing it.
I would love to record a homebrew album that was foundationally an edgy, jazzy, ambient rock, and try to work in a strong supplemental chiptunes element.
But at my best, I was a ho-hum bassist, and even less adept at everything else, was definitely limited in my skillsets, sloppy to boot, would "speak one language" on one instrument and "other languages" on the others, and never had much success getting them "on the same page" (in other words, I would come up with a good guitar riff, and have a very hard time figuring out how to add bass and keys to it, etc, etc.
Add to all this that I'm now also very rusty, which only compounds my lack of motivation, and the prospect of recording that solo album seems more and more unlikely.
If I ever was in a band again (also unlikely, though I've been in them before), whether theirs chiptune elements in what we play or not, I would insist on using vgm as the set up / tear down music between sets or acts.
Imagine it: the band's playing loud their last song, big finish, maybe a second or so silence, and then as the lights come up, and we start packing up, gambit theme from spiderman/x-men, or bonus room from wolverine, or in the bar from streets of rage 2.
The only alternative to vgm I'd be okay with is odd theme songs like the joy of painting w Bob Ross (i have it on my ipod...sincerely love that track!)
I have been able to realize my childhood dream of making music for a video game. My friend, Jay Cook (www.avalondreams.com) is a programmer, and has worked on programming games for things like "Hydra" and "Parallax", and has asked me to do some music for them.
X-Racer, and Ranquest feature my music. I know there's a YouTube video of ranquest w sound, and I know there's video of x-racer, but I'm not sure if it has sound. Just simple melodies, but still, it's my music in a game. :-D
There was a German tech show with a fellow named Rolf Dieter Kline that did a special on hydra, and featured our game with sound for a few seconds.
Now, my involvement was that of composer, Jay did the arrangements. I would record a track with bass and keys, etc, I would have my mom, of all people, come over to the house and convert it to sheet music, then I'd give both the sheet music and my mp3 to Jay, and between them, he'd be able to program it into the very rudimentary hydra sound system as a chiptune, so it really was a three person effort. I would love to learn how to program sound for myself, especially on things like the Genesis....maybe someday.
Jay is wanting to do a zombie game on android, and is asking me to do the music, this time not as a chiptune, but in quote unquote "real instruments", but to date I've not been able to put any work into it.
For ranquest, I was trying to be derivative. I wanted to fuse a zelda 1 overworld style baseline with a metroid 1 brinstar style melody. The chiptune version turned out slightly different than my original, and insofar, sounds a little less like them.
X-Racer, I was not trying to be derivative, so that track is much more "me." I have an mp3 of x-racer for anyone who a) wants to hear it, and b) can't find it online.
Also, the hardware Jay was using on ranquest was a little more advanced than what he was working with back in the day w x-racer. X-racer sounded more like a c64 or zx spectrum, the ranquest sound hardware was essentially identical to the master system.
Rob F. Switch November 11, 2012 at 10:01 AM
Send me a link to your jams St JOHN!!!
The Long Version November 11, 2012 at 2:25 PM
Rob, I sent them in an e-mail to legacymusichour@gmail.com.
I only included the chiptune versions, but this e-mail was still very text heavy because I basically disclaimered the crap out of the original recordings (also avail upon request).
I don't know how jamtastic these tracks will be (X-Racer will probably have the best shot), but I'm just honored to have been able to score a video game..two of them, one of them even getting enough attention to appear on a german internet tech show. Even if it's just two one-track games, for a dev kit, rather than a dedicated console, and even if I had to have Jay actually code it into the game....heck, even if the tracks aren't anything to write home about...it's still my music in a video game...one of my childhood dreams come true! :-D
...know what I mean?
Big Mike November 14, 2012 at 6:21 AM
I have been recording and playing music since 1991 or so, when I was 12 or 13 (born in 78). I've been involved in projects of all different sorts, but not really any chiptune music. Honestly I don't really care for the genre because the people that make it most often come from a punk rock background, therefore have little understanding of what makes the music what it is. The best 8 bit composers have obviously a keen understanding of the rules as well as a vast awareness of the hundreds of years of classical music. i dont hear that in chiptune music, or i havent yet. i DO however lusten to a lot of 80s music, especially pop. because i do hear those elements in that music beleve it or not. modulation, counterpoint, melody, etc.
but all that being said, you can hear the vgm influence in everything i play. i think it
gives me a colorful style, especially when played in the context of the weird beefheartish stuff that i normally play.
Sure. Well, I'd definitly like to hear some of your stuff! Where can I go to do that?
Billy November 8, 2012 at 1:06 PM
I'm glad you guys finally discovered the Smurfs track. I had emailed you about this months ago, but I'm just glad its being played. I discovered it randomly and have been listening to it ever since.
Alberto J. González (McAlby) November 9, 2012 at 5:04 AM
Thank you guys for another great podcast, and also for the nice comments! They're greatly appreciated (^^)
FYI, I have a Soundcloud account where I've been uploading old (& odd) works for some time. There are even some unpublished Game Boy tracks, and also very old 8 & 16 bit computer stuff.
http://soundcloud.com/joemcalby
Thanks for the comment and link Alberto!
One more thing - I just listened to
Vintage 8 bit - Calma Cero (ZX Spectrum, 1991)
on your Soundcloud. Wow! That sounds so cool! Was this ever released for a game?
My pleasure! ^^
Glad you liked the the tune, I made that one just for fun. From all the ZX Spectrum tunes on my Soundcloud, only Hostages OST was published.
Tom November 11, 2012 at 4:41 PM
Sweet episode - I'm glad you included two of my recommendations from my recent email (Kiwi Kraze and something by Alberto Gonzalez). I really liked the Pulseman song - it sounds surprisingly modern.
One platformer I haven't heard on your show that's worth checking out is Socket - it's a mediocre Sonic clone with good music. And I will be severely disappointed if I don't hear Pictionary (NES) on your board games episode.
Hobbitjord June 30, 2017 at 7:09 PM
One of the classic episodes based on the track listing. Excellent. I'm becoming as nostalgic for these older episodes as I am for the games the soundtracks come from.

Medsin Global Health Conference and Time to Act! 2: Praxis
In our previous blog, we discussed the historical origins of and ethical judgements behind the 2C warming goal in international climate policy, and what 2C of warming would mean for global health. These theoretical issues aside, the 2C bottom line occupies a powerful position in climate organising, because it issues an unambiguous call to action. Limiting surface temperature increase to 2C above pre-industrial averages, as the majority of national governments worldwide are committed to, demands prompt and drastic action – and now is the Time to Act.
The practical consequences of limiting warming to 2 degrees have formed the cornerstone of our recent campaigning efforts in the Fossil Free Health campaign. As outlined in detail in our Unhealthy Investments report, as much as 80% of fossil fuel reserves already listed on global markets must remain unburned for us to stand a decent chance of sticking to the 2C target. The divestment campaign uses the financial consequences of this ‘carbon bubble’ (the artificial inflation of fossil fuel share values based on the assumption that all of these reserves can be profitably exploited) as a tool for highlighting the need for a rapid decarbonisation of our energy economy and transition to a more sustainable society. Given the uniquely trusted position they occupy and their authority in speaking on issues affecting health, health workers have a particular responsibility to advocate on these issues; as a recent article by public health doctor and director of the NHS Sustainable Development Unit Dr David Pencheon puts it, “If health professionals don’t draw a line in the sand, then who will? And if we don’t do it now, then when will we do it?” Moreover, health professionals can draw attention to the huge benefits to health of making this transition – from greener, bike-friendly urban environments increasing physical activity and improving mental health, to lower-carbon vegetarian diets which reduce rates of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
These were some of the concerns that brought a contingent of HP, Medsin, and other sympathetic types to the Time to Act! march last Saturday afternoon. We joined over 20,000 others from across the country, supporting a host of different causes – warm homes, green jobs, environmental justice or just the space to ride a bike – united by the acknowledgement that all of these would play a small part in transforming our society to protect it from the worst excesses of climate change. Medics can be unwilling to get too involved with grassroots campaigning, preferring to retain a professional distance, and with it the veneer of smart-suited respectability. But to participate in a widespread shift of social norms, merely speaking from behind that veneer is not enough. People did not stop smoking or break from the cultural dominance of the tobacco industry merely when doctors warned of the health threats – they did so when health workers themselves stopped smoking, and distanced themselves from the industry through divestment. Given the scale of intersecting fossil-fuel-driven public health emergencies – air pollution and climate change being just the most obvious – it is now unambiguously time for health workers to act.
Medsin Global Health Conference and Time to Act! 1: Theoria
Healthy Planet were in London this weekend for a maximal-efficiency climate and health double-bill: the Medsin 2015 Global Health Conference, and the ‘Time to Act!’ national climate march. We like to take our beard-stroking with a healthy dose of actually doing stuff, and London offered us ample opportunity for both.
The theme of the GHC, organised and hosted by UCL Medsin, was ‘The Bottom Line’ – one particularly relevant for HP’s recent work on fossil fuel divestment, given detractors’ concerns about the impact of taking action on their bottom line. Moreover, climate change itself poses the ultimate bottom line – the boundary of a planet no longer capable of supporting a healthy society.
Nationally and internationally, this boundary has been quantified in terms of the 2C surface warming goal – the bottom line to which all climate mitigation policy is supposed to add up. But the cultural currency of this simple proposition – that global mean surface temperature increase should be constrained to within 2C warming relative to pre-industrial times – belies the complexity of the underlying science, and the health threats posed by climate change. Three questions immediately suggest themselves. Firstly, why – of all temperatures – pick 2C? Secondly, what do we neglect by making this goal the focus on climate mitigation efforts? And lastly, what do we need to do to achieve it?
For all of its dominance in contemporary climate policy, the history of 2C as the limit of ‘dangerous anthropogenic interference’ hardly offers conclusive reasons for its adoption. It came about rather from the efforts of a group of German climate scientists to find a hook that would make the esoteric scientific debates accessible to a policy audience, and motivate substantive action. To do this, they sought a single parameter, and a ‘safe’ limit to that parameter for global society. Surface temperature provided a natural parameterisation, given its close association to the natural and human impacts of climate change. As for the boundary, a helpful demonstration of the motivations is offered in the IPCC’s ‘ember diagrams’ of reasons for concern shown below – the Third Assessment Report (TAR) version shows that, at that time, 2C warming was thought to keep the risks of overall global aggregate impacts (chiefly measured by economic and human costs) low. It was also thought that, at such levels, the risks would remain low of bypassing ‘tipping points’ – step-changes in the natural environment that – like the West Antarctic or Greenland ice sheet collapse – would suddenly and irreversibly alter the climate, or – like seafloor or Arctic permafrost methane release – result in positive feedbacks that would ‘lock in’ further warming independently of human carbon emissions.
However, as that diagram also depicts, by the time of 2007’s 4th assessment report (AR4), things were looking more concerning; those global aggregate impacts looked to be quite costly at 2, and at such temperatures we would even be dicing with bypassing some of those major tipping points. Some of the world’s most prominent climate scientists warned that even then, the IPCC was being too optimistic. And by the time of the 5th report (AR5) in 2013-14, they were to some extent vindicated. Nonetheless, 2C became firmly embedded in climate discourse when it was one of the few successes to emerge from the COP15 climate negotiations in Copenhagen.
Ember diagram showing impacts of climate change in five reasons for concern from TAR (2001, left) and AR4 (2007, right)
But if the 2C goal focuses on global aggregate impacts and tipping points, what does it neglect? Some clues to this are also displayed in the successive ember diagrams. An omnipresent and purely formal difficulty arising from using marginal benefits to determine goals is that such goals will neglect the distribution of those benefits. And, as the embers show, even if at 2C the human cost of climate change to some may be offset by economic benefits to others, the differences between who benefits and who pays are striking. It is well established that those least responsible for climate change are, in general, those who suffer most, and climate change acts as an intensifier for many existing inequalities. This is most strikingly demonstrated in the risks of warming to ‘unique and threatened systems’ – communities and ecosystems that may be lost altogether thanks to climate change. While the ‘global aggregate impacts’ of 2C warming may be manageable, a world that much warmer is one in which many unique ecosystems – coral reefs, or amphibian habitats – may be lost altogether, while some societies – Inuit communities and pacific islanders – will see their way of life melt away, or disappear beneath the waves.
Predicted warming for high- and low-emissions scenarios, and updated ember diagram showing highly unequal impacts at 2C warming, from AR5 (2014)
One might, therefore, be led to question whether 2C is an appropriate target, given how the science of climate change has developed since its proposal and the normative framework used to arrive at it in the first place. But further, one could question whether surface warming – or surface warming alone – is the appropriate parameter to be targeting at all. A high-profile editorial in Nature last October raised precisely this question, suggesting that instead a host of planetary ‘vital signs’ should be considered to map the differential impacts in different regions and on different systems of a changing climate. While some questioned the scientific validity of their suggested alternatives, and others endorsed the pragmatic value of the 2C target, the critique gained traction perhaps because it highlighted the shortcomings of one of the few relatively uncontroversial propositions in climate policy.
But, even if one were to find a perfect way of measuring climate change, would setting our targets in terms of climate change alone be adequate? For, as Christina Figueres (secretary of the UNFCCC) has said, climate change is not a disease; rather, it is a symptom, and only by looking at other associated symptoms can one come to an accurate diagnosis. A host of other planetary boundaries – biodiversity loss, ocean acidification, land use change to name a few – are affected by the same social, economic and political processes driving climate change. Many of these are in fact taken into account in international climate negotiations – but to look at surface temperature warming alone neglects some major associated threats to human and planetary health.
For all its shortcomings, however, 2C has one major advantage; it’s catchy. It expresses a simple, accessible objective, one that both demands immediate action while still being achievable. And as an explicit commitment of most governments worldwide, its implications for the need for rapid decarbonisation if we are to stay within a 2C carbon budget gives it potent campaigning value. Few propositions could win equal support from climate activists and the governor of the Bank of England. It’s this cultural currency that has made the fossil fuel divestment campaign the fasting-growing of its kind in history. For more on the advocacy and activism that has grown around this bottom line, see our next blog…

Relaxin to augment height?
Relaxin may play a role in the observed height increase and foot size increase in some pregnances. Relaxin may be used as a novel way of weakening the type I collagen in the bone enabling the bone to be less resistant to stretch.
Pelvic development as affected by relaxin in three genetically selected frame sizes of beef heifers.
"Purified porcine relaxin was administered into the cervical os on Day 278 of gestation to determine its effects on pelvic development in three genetically selected frame sizes of primiparous beef heifers. Heifers were categorized as small, medium and large frame based upon their genetic composition. Pelvic height, pelvic width and cervical dilatation were determined from Day 270 to 2 days postpartum. On Day 270, heifers were assigned at random to one of three treatments: vehicle control, n = 16; relaxin once (3,000 U), n = 14; and relaxin twice (2 times 3,000 U 12 h apart), n = 17. Each heifer-frame size was represented in each treatment. Relaxin caused marked increases in pelvic height and width, as well as in the rate of linear increase (cm/day) of these parameters (p less than 0.05). These linear increases in pelvic height were 510, 264 and 204%, and pelvic width, were 280, 213 and 204% of the respective pretreatment rates for small, medium and large heifers. The rate of linear increase in pelvic width was greater than pelvic height in all heifers, but maximal in small-frame heifers; relaxin attenuated these intrinsic differences. For small heifers, the rate of linear increase in pelvic width was 121 and 145% of increases for medium and large heifers, respectively, before treatment, and 160 and 200% after treatment. The rate of postpartum involution of pelvic width was -0.03, -0.36 and -0.50 cm/day and, for pelvic height, -0.02, -0.27 and -0.29 cm/day in small, medium and large heifers, respectively."
"pelvic area in beef heifers increases normally from 200 to 250 cm^2."
"During gestation, the pelvis grows linearly at about 0.5 cm^2 /day."
"All heifers were bred by artificial insemination at estrus (Day 0); pregnancy lasts approximately 283 days. Heifers calved at an average age of 25 ± 1 mo (± SE)."
Relaxin was injected directly into the cervix.
Relaxin increases human endothelial progenitor cell NO and migration and vasculogenesis in mice.
"The ovarian peptide hormone, relaxin, circulates during pregnancy, contributing to profound maternal vasodilation through endothelial and nitric oxide (NO)-dependent mechanisms. Circulating numbers of bone marrow-derived endothelial cells (BMDECs), which facilitate angiogenesis and contribute to repair of vascular endothelium, increase during pregnancy. Relaxin enhances BMDEC NO production, circulating numbers, and function. Recombinant human relaxin-2 (rhRLX) stimulated PI3K/Akt B-dependent NO production in human BMDECs within minutes, and activated BMDEC migration that was inhibited by L-N(G)-nitroarginine methyl ester. In BMDECs isolated from relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 2 gene (Rxfp2) knockout and wild-type mice, but not Rxfp1 knockout mice, rhRLX rapidly increased NO production. Similarly, rhRLX increased circulating BMDEC number in Rxfp2 knockout and wild-type mice, but not Rxfp1 knockout mice as assessed by colony formation and flow cytometry. Relaxin effects BMDEC function through the RXFP1 receptor. Both vascularization and incorporation of GFP-labeled BMDECs were stimulated in rhRLX-impregnated Matrigel pellets implanted in mice. Relaxin is a regulator of BMDECs number and function, which has implications for angiogenesis and vascular remodeling."
"cause morphologic changes in endothelial cells of endometrial blood vessels consistent with hypertrophy and hyperplasia, and enlargement of arterioles and capillaries"<-maybe Relaxin can cause hypertrophy and hyperplasia in bones and chondrocytes too.
"Humans have 3 relaxin genes, designated relaxin-1, -2, and -3. Rats and mice each have 2 relaxin genes designated relaxin-1 and -3. Human relaxin-2, as well as rat and mouse relaxin-1 gene products, are true orthologs, insofar as they are secreted by the corpus luteum during pregnancy and circulate. Humans, rats, and mice have 1 relaxin receptor, the LGR7 (leucine rich repeat-containing G protein coupled) receptor recently renamed relaxin/insulin-like family peptide 1 receptor, RXFP1. Although human relaxin may also bind to the LGR8 receptor (RXFP2), albeit with reduced affinity, the preferred ligand for RXFP2 is insulin-like 3 (INSL3). Recently, 2 new receptors have been described for relaxin-3, GPCR135 and 142, although GPCR142 is a pseudogene in rats."
Relaxin stimulates osteoclast differentiation and activation. states that Relaxin induces osteoclast differentiation.
Relaxin affects the dentofacial sutural tissues.
"Relaxin might modulate the remodeling of connective tissue within the craniofacial sutures and periodontal tissues. Relaxin is produced by the pregnant female. It is responsible for the relaxing of the pubic symphysis; the birth canal is widened for parturition. It has also [has] effects on other areas of the body, including ligaments and regions containing collagen and fibroblastic activity. Twenty-one Swiss retired-breeder mice were used to: 1) demonstrate the presence of relaxin within the sutures; 2) demonstrate its effects on the integrity of the suture-like tissues; and 3) assay its effects on protease activity. Relaxin in concentrations of 250 and 500 ng/ml was used in the treated samples and allowed to incubate in complete tissue culture for 24 h. Relaxin [is present] within the cranial suture. [There were] definite changes in the collagen fibril arrangement in the PDL[periodontal ligament] - from being dense and highly organized with a perpendicular direction between tooth and bone to randomly organized and loose, lacking any direction between tooth and bone. An elevation in the protease activity was evident in the relaxin-treated samples."
"In the pregnant female, [relaxin] interferes with the collagen types I and III gene expression, reduces total collagen, and increases the collagenase activity."
"Relaxin has also been found to be produced in the male, the primary source being the prostate gland, though it has not been possible to demonstrate its release into the peripheral blood"
"Relaxin-treated samples had collagen fibrils that were disorganized and dispersed. The cervices became soft and more extensible."<-so maybe relaxin allows for bone stretching.
"relaxin was shown to inhibit collagen accumulation in a dose-dependent manner"
Effect of relaxin on the phenotype of collagens synthesized by cultured rabbit chondrocytes.
"The effect of porcine relaxin on rabbit articular and growth plate chondrocytes in primary culture was investigated by measurement of total collagen production and analysis of the phenotypes of newly synthesized collagen chains. A 24-h treatment of monolayer articular and multilayer growth plate chondrocytes with 2 micrograms per ml relaxin had no effect on total DNA and did not significantly modify the amount of [3H]proline-labelled collagen chains secreted by the cells. However, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated relevant modifications in relaxin treated chondrocytes. A significant increase was observed in the proportion of type III collagen and in the intensity of the band corresponding to alpha 2I chains. Two-dimensional peptide mapping of CNBr-cleaved molecules indicated that the band that was identified as alpha 1II on monodimensional gels contained a significant proportion of alpha 1I collagen chains, as demonstrated by the presence of alpha 1I cyanogen bromide-digested peptides. The intensity of this band was increased by relaxin treatment. Furthermore, total RNA analysis by slot blot and Northern blot techniques showed a dose-dependent stimulation of alpha 1I and alpha 1III mRNA levels after incubation with increased relaxin concentrations, but no change in the amount of alpha 1II mRNA. These results suggested that when added to cartilage cells in vitro, relaxin modulated the expression of type I, type II and type III collagen genes by amplifying the dedifferentiation process."
So you don't want relaxin with active growth plates but maybe with closed growth plates relaxin causes dedifferentiation of osteoblasts and bone collagen allowing for stretching and formation of new growth plates.
"relaxin acts on the pubic symphisis before and during parturition by softening and lengthening the pubic cartilage and the interpubic ligament"
Effect of pregnancy and obesity on arch of foot.
"Endocrine changes[like relaxin] occurring during pregnancy result in increased laxity of the ligaments of the foot. This may lead to gradual collapse of the foot arches. [We] determine whether pregnancy and body mass index (BMI) had a role in affecting the foot arches at long term.
A collapsed arch results in widening of the feet, thus altering the foot size. The control group included nulliparous women, while the study group included women who had been pregnant at least once. The groups were stratified secondarily by obesity according to BMI. We reviewed over 1000 charts. The age, BMI, and shoe size in an athletic shoe were recorded.
There were 40 subjects in the control group and 70 in the study group. 19/40 women in control and 46/70 in study group experienced a change in shoe size (P = 0.06). Of those affected, the non-obese control group experienced a 9.7% change in shoe size while the obese study group experienced a 15.5% change.
There was neither a change in size between women who had been pregnant and the nulliparous, nor was there a difference between the obese and non-obese. However, there was a statically significant difference between those affected who were both non-obese and nulliparous and those who had been pregnant and who are obese. Individually, the effect of pregnancy and BMI are highly suggestive and clinically relevant."
[Changes in shape and size of the foot during pregnancy].
"Many women report an increase in foot size during their pregnancy. In an initial survey of 21 mothers in 2 Münster nursery schools we found a tendency towards an increase in foot size during pregnancy. We measure changes in foot length, width, height and volume. A total of 40 women recruited from the antenatal clinic of the University Hospital of Münster and a participating practice were seen three times during their pregnancy. We found a statistically significant increase in foot length, width and volume, whereas foot height decreased slightly. This difference was, however, not significant."
"the overall contact surface of the foot in pregnant women was greater by 12% than in the control group."<-maybe due to collapsed arches?
"a consequence of an altered weight bearing (half a body weight to the body weight), the extension of the foot by 0.7%, the widening of the forefoot by 3.1% and the broadening of the hindfoot by 2.8%, with the width of the rear foot increased by 8.7% compared to the unloaded condition and the forefoot by 6%. The average weight gain of a woman at the end of pregnancy is about 12 kg, which are distributed more or less equally to an increase in fat deposits and water retention"
"Changes in foot size may be due to fluid retention during pregnancy. Occurring edema of the ankles and legs are partly due to the compression of the venous system through the uterus"<-like hydrostatic pressure via LSJL.
Relaxin induces matrix-metalloproteinases-9 and -13 via RXFP1: induction of MMP-9 involves the PI3K, ERK, Akt and PKC-ζ pathways.
"Relaxin treatment of cells in which RXFP1 was silenced resulted in diminished induction of MMP-9 and -13 by relaxin, whereas overexpression of RXFP1 potentiated the relaxin-induced expression of these proteinases. Suppression or overexpression of RXFP2 resulted in no changes in the relaxin-induced MMP-9 and -13. Studies using chemical inhibitors and siRNAs to signaling molecules showed that PI3K, Akt, ERK and PKC-ζ and the transcription factors Elk-1, c-fos and, to a lesser extent, NF-κB are involved in relaxin's induction of MMP-9."
"The human relaxin H2 activates both RXFP1 and RXFP2 resulting in an increase in intracellular cAMP concentrations"
"relaxin H2 induces MMP-9 and -13 in fibrochondrocytes through the RXFP1 receptor, and that relaxin’s modulation of MMP-9 occurs via PI3K–AKT–PKCζ–ERK1/2 signaling pathway and involves Elk-1 and c-fos transcription factors."
"In addition to activating ERK1/2, PI3K and Akt, relaxin treatment also enhances phosphorylation of PKC and PKC-ζ [which can prevent the degradation of NFKb by IKb"
Labels: pregnancy, Relaxin
relaxin would be good if we could combine it with stretching forces, could you look into similar ideas enabling bone to be stretched? all the ways of inducing shearing and pulling forces, weights, clamps, hanging, attachable machines devices, pulsed focused frequencies, can you further look into regenerating a growth plate with dentin or similar?
Why there is no new success stories Mr Davis? Its been nearly 3 years since you have gained 1.5". I m very eager to now yr present status, how much more u hv added.
His last height increase update was on June 1, 2011. That is 17 months or almost 1 1/2 years ago! not three years but it still has been a very long time since he has claimed growth. If LSJL hasn't made him grow in such a long period of time then it sounds very plausible that the method cannot work. Or at least that it works initially but then tapers off.
Why is he so silent?

Here is the xray of my knee ?
Can you tell if my growth plate is closed already ?
Thank you Tyler
Tyler...! seriously you got 1.5" BY LSJL???????
that is awesome...
there is no proof for that
Hey tyler could you do some research into flaxseed oil?
The human body has 206 bones. We know only the way to lenghten the limbs. What happened to your study on the periosteum? Remember that LSJL make you taller, but not bigger. Please Tyler, reply.
Hey Tyler !
I've found some articles about pregnancy and cnp,so maybe it's due to cnp?

Lancelot Schaubert
Two excerpts of what I hope will be my debut novel have sold to The New Haven Review (Yale’s Institute Library) and The Misty Review. I’ve also sold poetry, fiction, and nonfiction to TOR, McSweeney’s, Poker Pro’s World Series Edition, The Poet’s Market, Writer’s Digest, and many similar markets.
Spark + Echo just chose me for their 2019 artist in residency, commissioning me to write four short stories.
I have published work in anthologies like Author in Progress, Harry Potter for Nerds, and Of Gods and Globes — the last of which I edited and featured stories by Juliet Marillier (whose story was nominated for an Auraelis award), Anne Greenwood Brown, Dr. Anthony Cirilla, LJ Cohen, FC Shultz, and Emily Munro. My work Cold Brewed reinvented the photonovel for the digital age and caught the attention of the Missouri Tourism Board who commissioned me to write and direct a second photonovel, The Joplin Undercurrent, in partnership with my friend and photographer, Mark.
Born and raised in Southern Illinois amid four generations of carpenters (and named either after Lancelot the knight or Lancelot the soap opera character, depending on which parent you ask), I moved to Joplin, Missouri for college where I did internships in San Diego among young artists and in Detroit — Dearborn — where I taught English and citizenship to Arab immigrants. I auditioned for some TV shows, helped internationals feel at home, and started an artist support group with Mark Neuenschwander, the photographer.
In college, I majored in rhetoric and minored in mythology and ancient literature. Somewhere in there, I fumbled along trying to woo the grooviest girl in the world to marry me. She was from Ferguson, Missouri.
Now, we live in New York City. In addition to writing and producing, I work for ACT International helping artists in the city think cleverer, feel deeper, and act truer. Sometimes I give them grants to jumpstart their careers. Most of the time I just cook them food, let them crash at my place, and hold them when NBC rejects their screenplay or only five of their paintings sell at their gallery. If that’s you, I’m in your corner.
By now, I’ve written hundreds of articles and stories and poems (maybe thousands?) and I’ve spoken for various conferences on writing, culture creating, neighborhood development, and virtue ethics.
I’m hard at work on what will be my first published novel, but I’m also quite dangerous with a nail gun. Ask me about the squirrel sometime.

Your vacations in Costa Rica
Costa Rica – officially, the Republic of Costa Rica (República de Costa Rica) – is a country in Central America. It’s bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the east and south, the Pacific Ocean to the west and south and the Caribbean Sea to the east.
The travel industry has quickly become one of Costa Rica's main economies. It has gained special favour among "green-minded" or eco-travelers.
In recent times, electronics, pharmaceuticals, financial outsourcing, software development, and ecotourism have become the prime industries in Costa Rica's economy. High levels of education among its residents make the country an attractive location for investors. Since 1999, tourism earns more foreign exchange than the combined exports of the country's three main cash crops, which are bananas, pineapples and coffee.
In 2008, the Environmental Performance Index ranked the country 5th in the world and 1st among the Americas.
Spanish; English is also widely spoken.
110/120 volts, 60 cycles same as Canada
Costa Rica features a wide range of stores offering merchandise made locally or imported from other Central American countries. Most prices are fixed, and bargaining is recommended only with street vendors or in public market places.
Boasting a wide diversity of eco-climates and settings, Costa Rica is attractive to travelers seeking beaches, tropical forests, active volcanoes, mountain settings, and a wide array of activities. Surfing, canopy zip-lining, hiking, birdwatching, and fishing are some of the most popular draws.
The climate in Costa Rica
The climate of Costa Rica is characterized by two seasons – the rainy season extends from May to November and the dry season from December to April.
Costa Rica is a tropical country situated between 8 and 11 degrees above the equator. So, it has only two seasons: dry and green (or wet)! The dry season is generally between late December and April and the green or wet season lasts for the the rest of the year, from May through November. Even during the rainy season, visitors can still enjoy an average of about 5 hours of sunshine daily.
Temperatures vary little between seasons. The main influence on temperature is altitude. San José at 1150m has a climate which the locals refer to as the "eternal spring". It has simply delightful weather all year around! Average temperature ranges in San Jose are from 14 to 24°C in December to 17 to 27 °C in May.
The lower level, sea level coasts are even warmer, with the Caribbean averaging 21°C at night and over 30°C during the day. The Pacific coast is a few degrees warmer still; but the humidity is generally less, so it tends to be more comfortable.
The Northern Pacific Region is referred to as the "Gold Coast" and has an abundance of large resort hotels because of the drier and sunnier climate.
Touristic attractions of Costa Rica
Rincon de la Vieja Volcano
Rincón de la Vieja is an active andesitic complex volcano in north-western Costa Rica, in the province of Guanacaste. Its name means "The Old Woman's Corner"", a reference to a local legend about a girl whose lover was thrown into the crater by her father Video 1
Arenal Volcano & Hot Springs
Arenal Volcano, in Spanish Volcán Arenal, is an active andesitic stratovolcano in north-western Costa Rica. The Arenal volcano measures at least 1,633 metres. It is conically shaped with a crater spanning 140 metres. Arenal is geologically considered a young volcano and the age is estimated to be less than 7,000 years.
Drake Bay & Corcovado National Park
Corcovado National Park is a National Park on the Osa Peninsula in the South West of Costa Rica. It was established on 24 October 1975. It is widely considered the crown jewel in the extensive system of national parks and biological reserves spread across the country. National Geographic has called it "the most biologically intense place on Earth""."
Manuel Antonio National Park is a small National Park in the Central Pacific Conservation Area located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Established in 1972 with an area enumerating 4,014 acres, it is the destination of as many as 150,000 visitors annually and well-known for its beautiful beaches and hiking trails.
Grecia is noted for its unique church, Iglesia de la Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes, that is made entirely of pre-fabricated steel plates painted red. According to an urban legend, the church was donated by some foreign country, and sent to Greece as a gift, but was wrongly shipped to Grecia.
Tortuguero National Park is a National Park within the Tortuguero Conservation Area. The reserve is also included in the Humedal Caribe Noreste, a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention. It is the third-most visited park in Costa Rica, despite the fact that it can only be reached by airplane or boat.
In Monteverde Costa Rica rain forest are found more than 100 species of mammals including 5 species of cats, over 400 species of birds including 30 kinds of hummingbirds, tens of thousands of insect species and 2,500 species of plants. The area is acclaimed as one of the most outstanding wildlife refuges in the New World Tropics.
Tamarindo & Playa Grande
Playa Tamarindo, located on the Pacific Coast, has much to offer besides its crystal clear ocean, exquisite nature and stunning sunsets. Go surfing, fishing, and many other activities and tours, stay at a friendly bed and breakfast, luxurious hotel, the options are endless.
Cahuita National Park
Cahuita National Park is a National Park in the Caribbean La Amistad Conservation Area of Costa Rica. It protects beaches and lowlands and attracts tourists and other visitors who are able to scuba dive and snorkel in the protected marine area which contains the Coralline Reefs, as well as being a nesting ground for sea turtles.
Jaco & Playa Hermosa
Jacó is a coastal city in Costa Rica's Puntarenas province, located in the Central Pacific Region, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Jaco has become a very popular tourist destination for not only native Costa Ricans but also foreign travelers. It lies between several mountains, and encompasses the beaches of Herradura, Jacó and Hermosa.

Diezani Alison-Madueke’s Plea For Mercy
by: Rotimi Fasan
Finally, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s Petroleum Resources minister until six months ago, seeks to be understood by Nigerians. The former highflying minister, one of the most influential in the Goodluck Jonathan administration, seems to be begging Nigerians for forgiveness, or at least for some slack in their criticism (or is it hatred of her guts?). Of course, Madueke did not actually ask Nigerians to forgive her. Those are not her exact words, but the intention is quite clear in the series of conversations she has had in the last couple of weeks with celebrity journalist, Dele Momodu. She seems to have come to a belated realisation of that Achebean warning to all misguided leaders that nobody wins a war against their own people.
Nigerians have in the last several months been treated to salacious tales of the former minister’s attempt to escape the law, even when there was no pending indictment against her or before her actual arrest in the United Kingdom. But the story out there was that she had been faking ill-health, specifically a life-threatening battle with cancer of the breast. This was after all attempts by her, the rumour mill had it, to have an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari were allegedly rebuffed by the then president-elect. Jonathan was hardly out of office before Madueke bade the government goodbye, leaving for the United Kingdom. She was suddenly away from the public gaze. For a woman who appeared to relish the spotlight, her absence was immediately obvious. Shortly after would the cancer rumour surface. Nobody had any proof of this or further news of her until she was suddenly flung back into the spotlight by news of her arrest in the UK.
Aggrieved Nigerians felt vindicated that they had been proven right about their long held view that Mrs. Alison-Madueke had corruptly enriched herself during her time in office. This while hundreds of millions of her country people suffered abjectly as a direct consequence of the looting unleashed on the Nigerian treasury by she and her ilk. Although a public officer she lived and conducted herself like royalty on Nigeria’s bill. She travelled by chartered flight with family members, Nigerians heard. A lot was said of and about her but she appeared to scorn the rabble rousing she must have taken complaints and allegations against her for. She simply had no time for Nigerians, not even to ‘set the record straight’ as some of her colleagues in the public eye would say.
All of this until her infamous arrest in the UK, followed by lurid tales of extravagant living. But as an alibi, the Madueke family employed the services of a lawyer to state their side of the story. It seemed then that her thick skin was beginning to soften up. Having denied all the allegations swirling about her, her attorney then let it out that her presence in the UK was to attend to her health that was being ravaged by cancer. Now it was official. While this ‘official’ revelation appeared to win her some sympathy, the vast majority of Nigerians were definitely not sold on the cancer story. It appeared to them a sob-tale directed at winning sympathy for one of those who didn’t care if they lived or died. There was no touch of remorse in Mrs. Madueke’s rebuttal of the allegations Nigerians had made against her. She appeared to want their sympathy while trying to show that she had been right and they all had been wrong all along. Her alibi would not wash for many. But it appeared to have opened a window through which she could speak with the world.
It is in an apparent attempt to build on this that the Dele Momodu angle entered the picture. In the first part of that encounter between the journalist and the ex-minister that took place in a London hideaway, the latter was portrayed as a reluctant interviewee whose minders would rather not see hold the interview. The whole encounter was made to look like a chance occurrence rather than the scripted plot it is turning out to be. Momodu succeeded in getting Nigerians to believe, even if they didn’t accept, that Madueke was indeed an ailing woman. His description of her appearance contrasted radically from what Nigerians knew of the woman. Yet, it looked like she would leave everything at the point in which her meeting with Momodu ended in London without any further desire to convince anyone.
It seems thereafter that Mrs. Madueke was convinced of the positive effect of that bit of her story Momodu tantalised the world with. It won sympathy for her surely, even if some of it sounded quite tongue-in-cheek. And so she went for an encore. Her surrogates put a call through to Momodu fixing a meeting. This time they agreed to what amounts to a more involved interview even if, according to Momodu, no recording device was permitted. Her shrivelled looks that Momodu only described in the first interview is now accompanied with at least one graphic image that has gone ‘viral’, to borrow Momodu’s own words about the social media impact of the first interview.
She debunked all allegations of corruption and alleged romance with Jonathan and her cat and mouse relationship with Patience. Truly, no one who knew Alison-Madueke would not feel some pity for her. She is indeed a mere shadow of her vivacious self.
Her new look is a resounding rebuke of any primitive acquisition of wealth. It is a sad reminder of the vanity that is all material possession, including the wanton fixation on so-called good looks or beauty. Ultimately what matters in life are those little things that money can only pretend to buy: the love of those who matter to us including those we serve as public office holders, good health and the peace of mind that comes with all of these. Mrs. Diezani sees now that the opinion, if not the love, of the ordinary people matter.
For too long she and a few like her in power treated the voice of the people with little or no respect. For too long, she saw no purpose in showing herself amenable to public opinion. All of that makes her latest desire to be seen in a better light look a bit too belated. Many are already fixed in their opinions. And justifiably so. As they argue, if Mrs. Madueke wants their sympathy she first must give back to Nigerians what they believe she has taken. Her alibi is neither here nor there for as long as many see her as a beneficiary of the inhuman Nigerian system that has no respect for the ordinary people.
What Nigerians want is justice, not the death of Mrs. Madueke.

Next GOP Nominee: Conservative Record, Moderate Tone
With New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie enmeshed in scandal, the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination suddenly looks wide open. But before the GOP coalesces around a new front-runner, they need to drop dangerous delusions about what went wrong in 2008 and 2012.
For Republicans, that means abandoning the groundless conclusion that they lost twice to Barack Obama because they nominated the wrong candidates — two “mushy moderates” who couldn’t excite the base and led millions of frustrated conservatives to stay home. No political party can hope for future victories unless it comes to terms with the real reasons for past defeats.
If John McCain and Mitt Romney counted as terrible choices, which of their intraparty rivals would have fared better?
In 2008, McCain’s chief rival for the nomination was….Mitt Romney, who carried only one important primary state (his native ground of Michigan) in a lavishly expensive primary campaign that drew less than half McCain’s vote total in primaries and caucuses. McCain, meanwhile, swept primary contests in 31 states, including every one of the crucial Electoral College battlegrounds – Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Missouri, New Hampshire and more. If Romney or Huckabee couldn’t win primaries in these decisive swing states why is it logical to assume they would have fared better there in the general election?
In 2012, Romney won the most votes in 37 state primaries or caucuses, including 10 of the 11 most populous states. If Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain and Ron Paul failed to compete successfully in primaries where right-leaning voters predominate, then how would they magically manage to build a majority of voters in the November election, where voters are far more moderate and diverse?
Exit polls prove that self-described conservatives never deserted the Romney-Ryan or McCain-Palin tickets, actually turning out in record numbers. In the long history of modern exit polling, going all the way back to 1976, no contest ever produced a higher percentage of voters (35%) who identified themselves as “conservative” than did the Romney-Obama battle in 2012. McCain’s 2008 challenge wasn’t far behind, with 34%.
Moreover, both McCain and Romney captured even bigger margins among conservatives than did Ronald Reagan in 1980, when he crushed Jimmy Carter.
How, then, did Reagan win huge landslides in both his races as nominee while the two most recent GOP contenders fell short?
The answer is that Reagan won because he did better among moderates, not conservatives. In fact, no other Republican has ever won clear pluralities in the decisive moderate bloc; Reagan did it twice. His conservative bona fides allowed him to run campaigns with a distinctly moderate tone without risking charges of treason; he had a free hand to select an establishment running mate (George H.W. Bush) while reassuring the public that he was a cheerful pragmatist, not an angry ideologue.
McCain and Romney, on the other hand, came into their presidential campaigns with histories of challenging conservative orthodoxy and so felt the need to protect their right flank by claiming to be “severely conservative” (in Romney’s unfortunate phrase). Running combative campaigns with no explicit reach toward the center produced an overwhelming win among conservatives but a catastrophic loss with moderates, who, in every presidential contest, always represent the largest single ideological segment of the electorate.
Republican primary voters selected McCain and Romney not because they were the most conservative, but because they seemed conservative enough and offered the best shot at unifying the party.
Republicans will likely make similar choices in 2016, picking a nominee who can bring together all factions rather than delivering definitive dominance to one faction over all others. On that basis, Rand Paul is too closely identified with the party’s libertarian wing, Ted Cruz with the Tea Party and Chris Christie with Northeastern post-partisanship. Instead of one of the electrifying but polarizing figures in intraparty squabbles, the GOP will probably settle on a mainstream candidate with an unequivocally conservative record but a non-threatening approach to persuasion. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is one such possibility, or his fellow cheesehead Paul Ryan, or former Florida governor Jeb Bush, or waiting-in-the-wings governors such as Indiana’s Mike Pence or New Mexico’s Susana Martinez.
Such a selection wouldn’t require ditching conservative principles; the GOP will remain unmistakably right of center. But that conservative substance must combine with a moderate tone if the GOP is to provide a more welcoming home for Hispanics, single women, young people and others currently alienated from the party’s messages and messengers.
With the choices available, GOP primary voters picked the right nominees in 2008 and 2012, but two years from now they need a contender whose deep conservative roots allow him to spend less time constantly calming right-wing activists and more time reaching out to new voting blocs. Such a nominee could help true believer conservatives become participants in the project of persuasion, not its target.

The 4th Floor (1999)
19 May 2000 17 December 2020
USA. 1999.
Director/Screenplay – Josh Klausner, Producers – Boaz Davidson, Naomi Despres, John Thompson & William Vince, Photography – Michael Slovis, Music – Brian Tyler, Special Effects Supervisor – Gary Coates, Production Design – Timothy Galvin. Production Company – Millennium Films/Top Floor Productions.
Juliette Lewis (Jane Emelin), William Hurt (Greg Harrison), Austin Pendleton (Albert Collins), Shelley Duvall (Martha Stewart), Tobin Bell (The Locksmith), Artie Lange (Jerry), Sabrina Grdevich (Cheryl), Heidi Jo Markel (Ashley), Robert Costanzo (The Exterminator)
Jane Emelin takes over her late aunt’s apartment in a New York brownstone, much to the displeasure of her older boyfriend, tv weatherman Greg Harrison, who wants her to move in with him. Once in the apartment, Jane finds the other tenants are strange, including the supervisor who has to be prevented from having possession of keys to the rooms and the artist living opposite who Jane thinks she sees killing a woman. She then starts receiving threatening notes from the never-seen tenant on the fourth floor below regarding the noise she is making, followed by an extensive list of rules about how and at what times she is permitted to make noise. When she ignores these, the tenant turns psychotic, greasing the stairwell and causing her to fall, releasing bugs and mice into her apartment, and then threatening her life.
The 4th Floor is a considerable find – a routine looking psycho-thriller that you might pass over on the video shelves or on cable that instead defies promise and proves surprisingly good. Any film about weird apartment dwellers necessarily comes informed by Roman Polanski’s The Tenant (1976) and The 4th Floor delves into the same sort of creepily paranoid atmosphere that The Tenant generated.
On a plot level, The 4th Floor reads routinely but director/writer Josh Klausner invests it with all manner of creepy incident and unsettling characters – the initially friendly Shelley Duvall who then starts angrily lecturing about invasion of privacy when Juliette Lewis confides her concerns about the fourth floor tenant; mysterious figures in black seen sneaking up the stairs; the apartment supervisor who for reasons only hinted at has to be prevented from having keys to the apartments; Juliette Lewis thinking she has seen, a la Rear Window (1954), a murder across the courtyard, which is probably just artist Tobin Bell but whose creepy manner, hiding copies of her key in his pocket, may indicate otherwise.
The film gets weirder when it comes to the activities of the fourth floor neighbour who leaves disturbing notes about not making noise and then pages of bizarre rules as to the hours she is allowed to move furniture and entertain visitors. Things become increasingly more disquieting with stairs being left greased with the intention of causing her to fall and injure herself and she finding holes drilled through the floor to release bugs.
Juliette Lewis in her new apartment
This eventually mounts to a sense of unearthly eerieness – the eye hole in the door that rotates after she departs and her break-in to the fourth floor apartment by torchlight to find patterns drawn on the roof outling where everything in her apartment is. In these scenes, Josh Klausner creates a sense of eerie unworldliness that is downright creepy. The revelation of the mysterious apartment dweller’s identity is also highly effective.
There is however another throwaway revelation that comes in the very last shot of the film, revealing that everything has been a set-up. It effectively throws everything that has happened on its head a la the body of Old Dark House thrillers begun with The Cat and the Canary (1927), which usually had bizarre happenings revealed to be an elaborate set-up to rob the heroine’s inheritance or some such. Unfortunately, Josh Klausner is so effective at creating an unsettling mood of dis-ease that to toss it away in such a mundane ending is a disappointment.
Josh Klausner did not assume the director’s chair for another nineteen years with the non-genre Wanderland (2018). He has also worked as a screenwriter of mainstream fare such as Date Night (2010) and Shrek Forever After (2010), as well as the zombie film Dead Season (2012).

All aboard as ferry gets terminal nod
February 19, 2018 Stephen Taylor Latest News
SEAROAD Ferries last week got the go ahead to build a new terminal at Sorrento.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council on Tuesday 13 February approved the works following public exhibition of the plans and review by an independent panel.
The decision followed a planning services committee meeting the previous week which adopted the Sorrento Ferry Terminal Planning Scheme Amendment C209 which will guide the works. Extra conditions cover road upgrades and traffic infrastructure upgrades by VicRoads.
The terminal will include a maritime museum, café and lounge, toilets and small shops for souvenirs and ticketing.
Searoad Ferries CEO Matt McDonald said the company had run a series of community information sessions.
He said the works would improve infrastructure along the Esplanade and Sorrento foreshore and lead to better connections with public transport.
“We are also determined to improve safety and pedestrian access to the pier, including access for older people and people with disabilities that affect mobility,” he said.
Mr McDonald sees the terminal as a “significant economic driver for the region … [The] route from Queenscliff to Sorrento carries more than 850,000 people and 200,000 cars each year, making it the busiest passenger ferry service in Australia,” he said.
“We must provide tourists and locals who use the service with high quality, safe and accessible facilities.”
He said terminal improvements were also planned for the western side of the ferry route, with a proposal being considered by the Borough of Queenscliffe.
“The total project will provide an economic boost for the Mornington and Bellarine peninsulas generating 155 direct and 50 indirect jobs during the construction phase,” Mr McDonald said.
“Independent modelling estimates that from 2015-30, the upgrades would create a total economic impact of $210.8 million. This is enough to support 1097 jobs.”

Dubai Based Startup Invygo Raises 1 Million USD in Pre-Series A Funding
in Funding
(L-R) Pulkit Ganjoo and Eslam Hussein, Co-founders of Invygo
Dubai, UAE, June 2, 2020- Dubai based startup Invygo has raised $1 million USD in funding, as it looks to accelerate its expansion plans across the Middle East. The App-based car subscription service provider plans to use the funds to grow the business further by invest in technology and expanding into new customer segments.
This investment is part of the Pre-Series A funding round led by EQ2 ventures, Class 5 Global, and 500 Startups, who are confident that Invygo has cornered the market by providing customers with greater flexibility in terms of finance options, choice in vehicles and excellent customer service model. The news follows the latest funding injection from Q4 2019, and since then Invygo has grown substantially by tripling the customer number base, increasing its dealership partners from two to seven. Furthermore, it now has 12 car brands on the platform offering greater choice for customers.
CEO and Co-Founder Eslam Hussein commented, “We are incredibly pleased to see further confidence from our investors with this latest funding round especially in the current climate.“Our teams have received ongoing feedback from our customers stating they have seen real value of the subscription model, over owning a car. With many people working from home and spending less time driving to and from work, our customers have been able to easily pause their subscription, swap to a less expensive car, or save money by choosing a lower mileage option.
“We’re happy that our business model has been able to help people at this time, who otherwise would have been tied into monthly loan payments even though their life circumstances had changed.”
Patrick Thiriet, CEO of Equitrust, adds “The Coronavirus crisis has now affected almost every part of our world; for many years to come, it will change the way we all move and commute. Invygo’s value proposition looks even more relevant in this post-Covid19 world, with consumers still expecting to drive a car of their choice, but without the visibility to commit for 3 or 5 years.
Eslam and Pulkit are gathering an A-star team to solve this issue, and can scale their tech platform across numerous markets where consumers are facing frictions to traditional car ownership. We look forward to continue helping them in this journey.”
Invygo is the first app-based car subscription company in the MENA region, offering an alternative to owning or leasing a car. Customers can choose a car, upload their license and sign their documents all from within the app and have the car delivered for free to their home within hours. With a monthly subscription service, no long-term commitment or hidden fees involved, customers can request servicing or return their car with the tap of a button whenever they need.
This flexible car sharing alternative aims to attract users who are looking for a high-quality customer experience and an alternative to the traditional car ownership and leasing options available in the market.

What’s Hidden in Shanghai Tower’s Subterranean Vaults?
Twenty-five meters below the world’s second-tallest building lies China’s largest underground strong room.
Wan Qian
2016-07-07 06:22:20 Voices
Wan Qian Writer
Wan Qian is a writer at China30s.com, a platform focusing on the stories of China’s younger generation and the issues they face.
“Excuse me ma’am, which floor are you going to?”
No sooner had I entered the Shanghai Tower than I was whisked aside by two security guards and asked the nature of my visit.
The security guards likely mistook me for an overeager tourist. Fair enough — as I spoke with them, I could see a tour group filing into the building behind me. They jostled and tittered about like any tour group but suddenly fell silent when their guide announced, “Up next, we’ll be visiting the Shanghai Tower’s underground vault.”
Stories about the safe-deposit boxes in “Vault 1,” located 25 meters below ground level, have gone viral in recent weeks. The Baoku Treasury — owned by Baoku China — is the largest underground vault in China, reputed to be even more secure than banks. The company motto is “No one but you will be able to open your safe-deposit box.”
Of course, this level of security doesn’t come cheap. The smallest compartment, measuring 127 by 286 by 600 millimeters, costs 68,888 yuan (about $10,300) for 15 years.
I met the owner of one of these safe-deposit boxes, Zhou Ming, in the Baoku Art Center’s VIP lounge on the skyscraper’s 37th floor.
Everyone has something precious they want to keep safe. Zhou’s two favorite toys as a child were a small cast-iron frog and a toy handgun. The toys were lost at some point in his youth, but he told me that he would be deeply moved if his parents were somehow able to produce them.
Zhou has a 3-year-old daughter. In his safe-deposit box he keeps a lock of hair from when she was born, a mold of her tiny foot, and a drawing he did with her when she was in kindergarten.
Besides keepsakes, Zhou also uses his safe-deposit box to store valuable materials, including bars of gold. His plan is to wait until his daughter is engaged before giving her the keys and telling her, “This is your dowry; take it.”
But Zhou also has a plan B: “If my daughter mistreats me and my wife when she’s older, I’ll use the gold to take her mother on a trip around the world.”
People have used the boxes to store everything from cellphones to love letters. There are some who safeguard jewelry; others keep the deeds to their mistresses homes locked away where no one will ever find them.
- Wan Qian, writer
The vault’s security procedures are thorough. First, visitors must have their vault-issued ID cards verified by the guards. Then they have their palms scanned before being accompanied into the vault by an employee who holds a service key. To unlock the safe-deposit box, both the employee and the visitor must insert their keys into the panel and turn them at the exact same moment.
This level of security has led to speculation about the kinds of personal items that people would want to guard so tightly.
A host from Shanghai Television said he uses his box to store video recordings from his early days in the industry. The vault is specifically designed to be a safe storage space for historical relics: As long as he can find a working VCR in the future, his videotapes will still be watchable.
Of the 18,000 safe-deposit boxes in Vault 1, 20 to 30 percent are reserved for use by businesses in Shanghai’s financial district, which use them for secure data storage. Several thousand more are reserved by the government, leaving approximately 10,000 boxes available for personal use. Six thousand of these have already been sold.
In addition to the Baoku Treasury, there are around 20,000 safe-deposit boxes scattered around the city’s financial district. However, only 20 percent of these are available to the public.
The rest are reserved for bank employees and VIPs. For this reason, private safe-deposit boxes have historically been a lucrative investment, with almost all of the ones in the financial district being snatched up prior to the opening of the Baoku Treasury.
The idea for the vault came to the company’s founder, Liu Feiguo, while he was lobbying to open an art museum in the Shanghai Tower. He realized that the high revenues from the Baoku Treasury could fund the museum’s daily operations.
Baoku Treasury clients are given a 15-year membership pass to the Shanghai Guanfu Museum and the Baoku Art Center, allowing free access to exhibits and events. Most of the proceeds from deposit box sales are reinvested in the museum.
Baoku China has already announced plans to expand and build community vaults. According to Zhou, “Community vaults are actually cheaper to build than high-end swimming pools.”
In the end, whether people are looking for a place to store their wealth, hide their secrets, or keep their investments secure, the market for third-party safe-deposit boxes is steadily growing. I suppose that to some people, a small metal drawer brings a great deal of comfort.

FRC: State sanctioned discrimination in Georgia because we cannot discriminate
Friday, Mandi Ancalle, general counsel for government affairs at Family Research Council (a designated hate group) writes “State-Sanctioned Discrimination in Georgia.” Ancelle joined FRC in July, 2015. In November of that year I made a conscious decision not to write about her piece comparing Caitlyn Jenner to Rachel Dolezal because it was too idiotic to take seriously. Today's piece isn't much better. Nevertheless …
In the way of background, Ancalle is a 2009 graduate of that estimable temple of jurisprudence, Liberty University School of Law which is probably why she has never really practiced law. Upon graduation she joined Mat Staver's Liberty Center for Law and Public Policy and then worked for one flavor or another of Staver's hate group, Liberty Counsel until joining FRC. She is still an adjunct online instructor for paralegal studies at Liberty U.
Getting back to her tedious polemic:
A new type of discrimination seems to be at play in Georgia, and it appears to be sanctioned by the state. Two African-American Christian men have been fired from their roles serving the state and its municipalities for holding religious views about human sexuality. People with sincere religious views are now being marginalized …
Oh my. That sounds serious.
Governor Nathan Deal vetoed a religious liberty bill saying, “I find it ironic that today some in the religious community feel it necessary to ask the government to confer upon them certain rights and protections.”
The bill in question was HB 757 and it would have targeted same-sex marriage post Obergefell. HB 757 was, in part, a message bill aimed at ensuring that uppity gay people know their place. It was a merging of ADF's rather inoffensive (although gratuitous) Pastor Protection Act with their very anti-LGBT RFRA boilerplate. Most of the faith-based organization “protections” are already in place via the First Amendment. It looks like the Catholic bishops would have gotten a carve-out allowing them to fire someone for, say, teaching-while-gay-married. The bill would have preempted municipal laws and then added this bit of license-to-discriminate-ese.
50-15A-2. (a) Government shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results from a law, rule, regulation, ordinance, or resolution of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section.
That would have said bye-bye, for example, to Atlanta's broad nondiscrimination ordinance protecting people on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation. The citizens of Atlanta would cease to have a say about discrimination and the state is discriminatory.
Ms. Ancalle goes on to write:
What is ironic is the fact that Governor Deal could “find no examples” of discrimination based on religion in Georgia, despite the existence of the ongoing case of Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran. Chief Cochran was removed from the Atlanta Fire Department for expressing his religious views about marriage in a devotional book he wrote on his own time. A non-profit litigation firm is litigating his discrimination case against the City of Atlanta.
Actually Mr. Cochran was terminated for foisting his religious views on subordinates and engaging in a business (publishing a book) without the city's prior consent. Cochran could believe in the sanctity of of the Kindle for all I care but distributing materials in the workplace claiming that gay people are “vile” and “vulgar” creates a toxic work environment. All of this means that Cochran was an awful manager. The matter is in federal court. The motions deadline is set for December so trial should begin early next year.
In fact, mere months after Governor Deal made that statement, the state of Georgia fired yet another public servant because of his religious views. Dr. Eric Walsh was fired from the Georgia Department of Public Health for statements he made during sermons he delivered at his church.
Actually Walsh was not fired. Ancalle should at least get the facts right. An offer of employment was rescinded for the same reason that he was forced to resign from a position with the City of Pasadena. It was discovered that Walsh is crazy. A selection of Walsh's best hits includes:
Oprah Winfrey is harboring the spirit of the anti-Christ;
The prophet Muhammad, founder of Islam, was influenced by Satan;
The devil set up Catholicism;
Acceptance of homosexuals is a satanic ploy to destroy America;
Rapper Jay Z is a disciple of Satan;
Single mothers are ruining their children;
Disney movies, which are loaded with violence, sex and magic, are a satanic ploy to split up families;
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is a “satanic belief”;
The distribution of condoms to a public in need leads to higher AIDS rates;
The pope is the anti-Christ.
Not exactly the person you want serving a diverse population. Not to mention that his position on condoms is directly contrary to Georgia public policy. If Ancalle wants to offer excuses for this schmuck, have at it.
The legislature can easily address the concerns of Dr. Walsh, Fire Chief Cochran, and Georgians across the state, particularly as it relates to their religious views about human sexuality by passing the Government Non-Discrimination Act. The Government Non-Discrimination Act is a simple bill that would ensure that the state respects Georgia’s first freedom, the freedom of religion.
Mr. Cochran and, in particular, Mr. Walsh are two very good reasons for not passing such an act. Dr. Walsh disqualified himself from any conceivable position in government service. It seems that both of these men are rather dim bulbs to begin with.
Specifically, the Government Non-Discrimination Act says, “the State shall not take any discriminatory action against a person, wholly or partially on the basis that such person believes, speaks, or acts in accordance with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction that: (1) marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman; (2) sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage; or (3) male (man) and female (woman) refer to distinct and immutable biological sexes that are determinable by anatomy and genetics by time of birth.” The Government Non-Discrimination Act goes on to define types of “discriminatory action,” which includes withholding and terminating employment, the type of discrimination Dr. Walsh and Fire Chief Cochran have experienced.
Ms. Ancalle provides neither a cite nor bill number. I searched using both non-discrimination and nondiscrimination (the correct form) and cannot find anything close. Perhaps this is ADF boilerplate (I have no idea). However, I bet that it would preempt municipal nondiscrimination ordinances and provide a broad license to discriminate.
There must be a presumption that LGBT people are stupid. That is in spite of the fact that we are keenly aware of attempts to fuck us over. We try to be instructive but are abject failures at educating part of the population. They fail to appreciate that our constituency is not just the 5% or so of the populace that is LGBT.
About 40% of our citizens have a close family member who is gay or trans. A chunk of the citizenry has no familial incentive but are allies and they are of all faiths. People like Ancalle are oblivious to all of this. Eventually they will be entirely irrelevant and this chronicle will cease to have any purpose. In the interim it will continue to critique and ridicule those who are incapable of critical thinking when it comes to sexual minorities.

Blog Tour + Excerpt + Giveaway: The Angel Wore Fangs by Sandra Hill
The Angel Wore Fangs (Deadly Angels #7)
Author: Sandra Hill
Publisher: Avon Books/Harper Collins
New York Times bestselling author Sandra Hill continues her sexy Deadly Angels series, as a Viking vangel’s otherworldly mission pairs him with a beautiful chef who whets his thousand-year-old appetite . . .
Once guilty of the deadly sin of gluttony, thousand-year-old Viking vampire angel Cnut Sigurdsson is now a lean, mean, vampire-devil fighting machine. His new side-job? No biggie: just ridding the world of a threat called ISIS while keeping the evil Lucipires (demon vampires) at bay. So when chef Andrea Stewart hires him to rescue her sister from a cult recruiting terrorists at a Montana dude ranch, vangel turns cowboy. Yeehaw!
The too-tempting mortal insists on accompanying him, surprising Cnut with her bravery at every turn. But with terrorists stalking the ranch in demonoid form, Cnut teletransports Andrea and himself out of danger—accidentally into the tenth-century Norselands. Suddenly, they have to find their way back to the future to save her family and the world . . . and to satisfy their insatiable attraction.
Praise for Sandra Hill’s Deadly Angels series:
“Fans of paranormal and time travel will get a kick out of this sexy and often humorous addition to the Deadly Angels series. Viking vampire angel Cnut is a completely strong hero, and Andrea, his accompaniment, is matched with him perfectly. Their antics will make readers giggle, and their adventures will keep fans at the edge of their seats. Hill’s vivid imagination really shines!”
—RT Book Reviews on The Angel Wore Fangs
“An awesome…series! Kept me up late into the night reading. Looking forward to the next installment.” — New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands
“Hill has written another winner featuring her Viking vampire angels. In her fourth in the passion-driven Deadly Angels series, two of the most unlikely characters, Mordr and Miranda, are thrown together and the result is laugh-out-loud humor and unrivaled sex appeal.”
—Romantic Times Book Reviews on Kiss of Wrath
“With her clever dialogue, often bawdy situations, and great cast of characters, including a warrior woman, a proverb-spouting wise man/healer from the East, and a saucy cook, Hill has created another wickedly wonderful story.” —Booklist (starred review) on Kiss of Wrath
“The third book in Sandra Hill’s Deadly Angels series, Kiss of Temptation, comes out Tuesday. Along with it comes the temptation to play hooky that day so I can hang out with Ivak, who’s guilty of the sin of lust. Aren’t we all, when it comes to Sandra Hill’s books?”
— USA Today on Kiss of Temptation
“Thanks for the laughs and the heartfelt emotions, Ms. Hill. I loved this one and am looking forward to the next book in this exciting series.” —The Romance Reviews on Kiss of Temptation
Earthy, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and lusty, this tenth-century revel takes readers back to a much-less-refined time and is just plain fun. Hill’s (Viking Heat) Viking series are legendary; her fans are sure to enjoy this latest addition.” —Library Journal on Kiss of Surrender
“Sixth in the Deadly Angels series, Even Vampires Get the Blues is entertaining, solid and consistent in its storytelling. Fans of the Vampire Viking Angels series will be pleased.”
— Romantic Times Book Reviews on Even Vampires Get the Blues
Weight Watchers, where art thou? . . .
Cnut Sigurdsson was a big man. A really big man! He was taller than the average man, of course, being a Viking, but more than that, he was . . . well . . . truth to tell . . . fat.
Obesity was a highly unusual condition for Men of the North, Cnut had to admit, because Norsemen were normally vain of appearance, sometimes to a ridiculous extent. Long hair, combed to a high sheen. Braided beards. Clean teeth. Gold and silver arm rings to show off muscles. Tight braies delineating buttocks and ballocks.
But not him.
Cnut did not care.
Even now, when three of his six brothers, who’d come (uninvited, by the by) to his Frigg’s-day feast here at Hoggstead in the Norselands, were having great fun making jests about just that. They were half-brothers, actually, all with different mothers, but that was neither here nor there. Cnut cared not one whit what the lackwits said. Not even when Trond made oinking noises, as if Cnut’s estate were named for a porcine animal when he knew good and well it was the name of the original owner decades ago, Bjorn Hoggson. Besides, Trond had no room to make mock of others when he was known to be the laziest Viking to ever ride a longship. Some said he did not even have the energy to lift his cock for pissing, that he sat like a wench on the privy hole. That was probably not true, but it made a good story.
Nor did Cnut bother to rise and clout his eldest brother, Vikar, when he asked the skald to make a rhyme of Cnut’s name:
Cnut is a brute
And a glutton, of some repute.
He is so fat that, when he goes a-Viking for loot,
He can scarce lift a bow with an arrow to shoot.
But when it comes to woman-pursuit,
None can refute
That Cnut can “salute” with the best of them.
Thus and therefore, let it be known
And this is a truth absolute,
Size matters.
“Ha, ha, ha!” Cnut commented, while everyone in the great hall howled with laughter, and Vikar was bent over, gasping with mirth.
Cnut did not care, especially since Vikar was known to be such a prideful man he fair reeked of self-love. At least the skald had not told the poem about how, if Cnut spelled his name with a slight exchange of letters, he would be a vulgar woman part. That was one joke Cnut did not appreciate.
But mockery was a game to Norsemen. And, alas and alack, Cnut was often the butt of the jests.
He. Did. Not. Care.
Yea, some said he resembled a walking tree with a massive trunk, limbs like hairy battering rams, and fingers so chubby he could scarce make a fist. Even his face was bloated, surrounded by a mass of wild, tangled hair on head and beard, which was dark blond, though its color was indiscernible most times since it was usually greasy and teeming with lice. Unlike most Vikings, he rarely bathed. In his defense, what tub would hold him? And the water chute into the steam hut was often clogged. And the water in the fjords was frigid except for summer months. What man in his right mind wanted to turn his cock into an icicle?
A disgrace to the ideal of handsome, virile Vikinghood, he overheard some fellow jarls say about him on more than one occasion.
And as for his brother Harek, who considered himself smarter than the average Viking, Cnut glared his way and spoke loud enough for all to hear, “Methinks your first wife, Dagne, has put on a bit of blubber herself in recent years. Last time I saw her in Kaupang, she was as wide as she was tall. And she farted as she walked, rather waddled. Phhhttt, phhhttt, phhhttt! Now, there is something to make mock of!”
“You got me there,” Harek agreed with a smile, raising his horn of mead high in salute.
One of the good things about Vikings was that they could laugh at themselves. The sagas were great evidence of that fact.
At least Cnut was smart enough not to take on any wives of his own, despite his twenty and eight years. Concubines and the odd wench here and there served him well. Truly, as long as Cnut’s voracious hunger for all bodily appetites—food, drink, sex—was being met, he cared little what others thought of him.
When his brothers were departing two days later (he thought they’d never leave), Vikar warned him, “Jesting aside, Cnut, be careful. One of these days your excesses are going to be your downfall.”
“Not one of these days. Now,” Cnut proclaimed jovially as he crooked a chubby forefinger at Inga, a passing chambermaid with a bosom not unlike the figurehead of his favorite longship, Sea Nymph. “Wait for me in the bed furs,” he called out to her. “I plan to fall down with you for a bit of bedplay.”
Vikar, Trond, and Harek just shook their heads at him, as if he were a hopeless case.
But Vikar’s words came back to haunt Cnut several months later when he was riding Hugo, one of his two war horses, across his vast estate. A normal-size palfrey could not handle his weight; he would squash it like an oatcake. Besides, his long legs dragged on the ground. So he had purchased two Percherons from Le Perche, a province north of Norsemandy in the Franklands known for breeding the huge beasts. They’d cost him a fortune.
But even with the sturdy destrier and his well-padded arse, not to mention the warm, sunny weather, Cnut was ready to return to the keep for a midday repast. Most Vikings had only two meals a day. The first, dagmál or “day-meal,” breaking of fast, was held two hours after morning work was started, and the second, náttmál or “night meal.” was held in the evening when the day’s work was completed. But Cnut needed a midday meal, as well. And right now, a long draught of mead and an afternoon nap would not come amiss. But he could not go back yet. His steward, Finngeir the Frugal (whom he was coming to regard as Finn the Bothersome Worrier), insisted that he see the extent of the dry season on the Hoggstead cotters’ lands.
Ho-hum. Cnut didn’t even bother to stifle his yawn.
“Even in the best of times, the gods have not blessed the Norselands with much arable land, being too mountainous and rocky. Why else would we go a-Viking but to settle new, more fertile lands?”
“And women,” Cnut muttered. “Fertile or not.”
Finn ignored his sarcasm and went on. Endlessly. “One year of bad crops is crippling, but two years, and it will be a disaster, I tell you. Look at the fields. The grains are half as high as they should be by this time of year. If it does not rain soon—”
Blather, blather, blather. I should have brought a horn of ale with me. And an oatcake, or five. Cnut did not like Finn’s lecturing tone, but Finn was a good and loyal subject, and Cnut would hate the thought of replacing him. So Cnut bit back a snide retort. “What would you have me do? A rain dance? I can scarce walk, let alone dance. Ha, ha, ha.”
Finn did not smile.
The humorless wretch.
“Dost think I have a magic wand to open the clouds? The only wand I have is betwixt my legs. Ha, ha, ha.”
No reaction, except for a continuing frown, and a resumption of his tirade. “You must forgive the taxes for this year. Then you must open your storerooms to feed the masses. That is what you must do.”
“Are you barmy? I cannot do that! I need the taxes for upkeep of my household and to maintain a fighting troop of housecarls. As for my giving away foodstuffs, forget about that, too.
Last harvest did not nearly fill my oat and barley bins. Nay, ’tis impossible!”
“There is more. Look about you, my jarl. Notice how the people regard you. You will have an uprising on your own lands, if you are not careful.”
“What? Where? I do not know—” Cnut’s words cut off as he glanced to his right and left, passing through a narrow lane that traversed through his crofters’ huts. Here and there, he saw men leaning on rakes or hauling manure to the fields. They were gaunt-faced and grimy, glaring at him through angry eyes. One man even spat on the ground, narrowly missing Hugo’s hoof. And the women were no better, raising their skinny children up for him to see.
“That horse would feed a family of five for a month,” one toothless old graybeard yelled.
His wife—Cnut assumed it was his wife, being equally aged and toothless—cackled and said, “Forget that. If the master skipped one meal a month, the whole village could feast.”
Many of those standing about laughed.
Cnut did not.
Good thing they did not know how many mancuses it had taken to purchase Hugo and the other Percheron. It was none of their concern! Cnut had a right to spend his wealth as he chose. Leastways, that’s what he told himself.
Now, instead of being softened by what he saw, Cnut hardened his heart. “If they think to threaten me, they are in for a surprise,” he said to Finn once they’d left the village behind and were returning to the castle keep. “Tell the taxman to evict those who do not pay their rents this year.”
By late autumn, when the last of the meager crops was harvested, Cnut had reason to reconsider. Already, he’d had to buy extra grains and vegetables from the markets in Birka and Hedeby, just for his keep. Funerals were held back to back in the village. And he was not convinced that Hugo had died of natural causes last sennight, especially when his carcass had disappeared overnight. Cnut had been forced to post guards about his stables and storage shed since then. Everywhere he turned, people were grumbling, if not outright complaining.
That night, in a drukkinn fit of rage, he left his great hall midway through the dinner meal. Highly unusual for him. But then, who wouldn’t lose his appetite with all those sour faces silently accusing him? It wasn’t Cnut who’d brought the drought; even the most sane-minded
Creature must know that. Blame the gods, or lazy field hands who should have worked harder, or bad seed.
As he was leaving, he declined an invitation from some of his hersirs who were engaged in a game of hneftafl. Even his favorite board game with its military strategies and rousing side bets held no interest tonight. Bodil, a chambermaid, gave him a sultry wink of invitation in passing, but he was not in the mood for bedplay tonight, either.
He decided to visit the garderobe before taking to his bed, alone, and nigh froze his balls when he sat on the privy hole. He was further annoyed to find that someone had forgotten to replenish the supply of moss and grape leaves for wiping.
When Cnut thought things could not get any worse, he opened the garderobe door and almost tripped over the threshold at what he saw. A man stood across the corridor, arms crossed over his chest. A stranger. Could it be one of his desperate, starving tenants come to seek revenge on him, as Finn had warned?
No. Despite the darkness, the only light coming from a sputtering wall torch, Cnut could see that this man was handsome in appearance, noble in bearing. Long, black hair. Tall and lean, though well-muscled, like a warrior. And oddly, he wore a long white robe with a twisted rope belt, and a gold crucifix hung from a chain about his neck. Even odder, there appeared to be wings half folded behind his back.
Was it a man or something else?
I must be more drukkinn than I thought. “Who are you?”
“St. Michael the Archangel.”
One of those flying creatures the Christians believe in? This is some alehead madness I am imagining! A walking dream.
’Tis no dream, fool,” the stranger said, as if he’d read Cnut’s thoughts.
“What do you want?” Cnut demanded.
“Not you, if I had a choice, that is for certain,” the man/creature/angel said with a tone of disgust. “Thou art a dire sinner, Cnut Sigurdsson, and God is not pleased with you.”
“Which god would that be? Odin? Thor?”
“For shame! There is only one God.”
Ah! Of course. He referred to the Christian One-God. Vikings might follow the Old Norse religions, but they were well aware of the Christian dogma, and, in truth, many of them allowed themselves to be baptized, just for the sake of expediency.
“So, your God is not pleased with me. And I should care about that . . . why?” Cnut inquired, holding on to the doorjamb to straighten himself with authority. He was a high jarl, after all, and this person was trespassing. Cnut glanced about for help, but none of his guardsmen were about. Surprise, surprise. They are probably still scowling and complaining about the lack of meat back in the hall. I am going to kick some arse for this neglect.
“Attend me well, Viking; you should care because thou are about to meet your maker.” He said Viking as if it were a foul word. “As are your brothers. Sinners, all of you!”
“Seven brothers, each guilty of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Pride. Lust. Sloth. Wrath. Gluttony. Envy. Greed.” He gave Cnut a pointed look. “Wouldst care to guess which one is yours?”
Nay, he would not. “So I eat and drink overmuch. I can afford the excess. What sin is that?”
“Fool!” the angel said, and immediately a strange fog swirled in the air. In its mist, Cnut saw flashing images:
• Starving and dead children.
• Him gnawing on a boar shank so voraciously that a greasy drool slipped down his chin. Not at all attractive.
• One of his cotters being beaten to a bloody pulp for stealing bread for his family.
• Honey being spread on slice after slice of manchet bread on his high table.
• A young Cnut, no more than eight years old, slim and sprightly, chasing his older brothers about their father’s courtyard.
• A naked, adult Cnut, gross and ugly with folds of fat and swollen limbs. He could not run now, if he’d wanted to.
• A family, wearing only threadbare garb and carrying cloth bundles of its meager belongings, being evicted from its home with no place to go in the snowy weather.
• Warm hearths and roofs overhead on the Hoggstead keep.
• A big-bosomed concubine riding Cnut in the bed furs, not an easy task with his big belly.
• The same woman weeping as she unwrapped a linen cloth holding scraps of bread and meat, half-eaten oatcakes, and several shrunken apples, before her three young children.
Cnut had seen enough. “This farce has gone on long enough! You say I am going to die? Now? And all my brothers, too? Excuse me if I find that hard to believe.”
“Not all at once. Some have already passed. Others will go shortly.”
Really? Three of his brothers had been here several months past, and he had not received news of any deaths in his family since, but then their estates were distant and the roads were nigh impassable this time of year. The fjords were no better, already icing over, making passage difficult for longships.
“I should toss you down the privy hole and let you die in the filth,” the angel said, “but you would not fit. Better yet, I should lock you in the garderobe and let you starve to death, like your serfs do.”
Ah, so that’s what this was about. “You cannot blame me for lack of rain or poor harvests. In fact, your God—”
Before he could finish the thought, the angel pointed a forefinger at him, and a flash of light passed forth, hitting Cnut right in the chest, like a bolt of lightning. Cnut found himself dangling off the floor. He clutched his heart, which felt as if a giant stake had passed through his body, securing him to the wall.
“Let it be known hither and yon, the Viking race has become too arrogant and brutish, and it is God’s will that it should die out. But you and your brothers are being given a second chance, though why, only God knows.”
What? Wait. Did he say I won’t be dying, after all?
“This is thy choice. Repent and agree to become a vangel in God’s army for seven hundred years, and thou wilt have a chance to make up for your mortal sins. Otherwise, die and spend eternity at Satan’s hearth.”
A sudden smell of rotten eggs filled the air. Brimstone, Cnut guessed, which was said to be a characteristic of the Christian afterlife for those who had offended their god. At the same time, he could swear his toes felt a mite warm. Yea, fire and brimstone, for a certainty.
So, I am being given a choice between seven hundred years in God’s army or forever roasting in Hell. Some choice! Still, he should not be too quick to agree. “Vangel? What in bloody hell is a vangel?” Cnut gasped out.
“A Viking vampire angel who will fight the forces of Satan’s Lucipires, demon vampires who roam the world spreading evil.”
That was clear as fjord mud. Cnut was still pinned high on the wall, and he figured he was in no position to negotiate. Besides, seven hundred years didn’t sound too bad.
But he forgot to ask what exactly a vampire was.
He soon found out.
With a wave of his hand, the angel loosened Cnut’s invisible ties, and he fell to the floor. If he’d thought the heart pain was bad, it was nothing compared to the excruciating feel of bones being crushed and reformed. If that wasn’t bad enough, he could swear he felt fangs forming on each side of his mouth, like a wolf. And his shoulders were being ripped apart, literally, and replaced with what, Cnut could not be sure, as he writhed about the rush-covered floor.
“First things first,” the angel said then, leaning over him with a menacing smile. “You are going on a diet.”

SARS-CoV-2-like Particles very Sensitive to Temperature
Lisa Potter
research communications, University of Utah Communications
Winter is coming in the northern hemisphere and public health officials are asking how the seasonal shift will impact the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19?
A new study tested how temperatures and humidity affect the structure of individual SARS-Cov-2 virus-like particles on surfaces. They found that just moderate temperature increases broke down the virus’ structure, while humidity had very little impact. In order to remain infectious, the SARS-Cov-2 membrane needs a specific web of proteins arranged in a particular order. When that structure falls apart, it becomes less infectious. The findings suggest that as temperatures begin to drop, particles on surfaces will remain infectious longer.
This is the first study to analyze the mechanics of the virus on an individual particle level, but the findings agree with large-scale observations of other coronaviruses that appear to infect more people during the winter months.
“You would expect that temperature makes a huge difference, and that’s what we saw. To the point where the packaging of the virus was completely destroyed by even moderate temperature increases,” said Michael Vershinin, assistant professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Utah and co-senior author of the paper. “What’s surprising is how little heat was needed to break them down—surfaces that are warm to the touch, but not hot. The packaging of this virus is very sensitive to temperature.

A group of SARS-CoV-2 virus-like particles are shown in panel (A) on a glass surface in room temparture. The color scale describes the height of each particle—red is the tallest and dark blue is the flattest. (B) Virus-like particles imaged at about 93 degrees F (34 degrees C) under dry conditions. There are no discernable features of the particles in panel A, indicating the particle structure degraded. (C) The virus-like particles that were incubated at about 93 degrees F (34 degrees C) in a buffer solution and imaged at room temperature. The particles are more consistent with A, but still reveal widespread structural degradation.
The paper was published online on Nov. 28, 2020, in the journal Biochemical Biophysical Research Communications. The team also published a separate paper on Dec. 14, 2020, in Scientific Reports describing their method for making the individual particle packaging. The virus-like particles are empty shells made from the same lipids and three types of proteins as are on active SARS-Cov-2 viruses, but without the RNA that causes infections. This new method allows scientists to experiment with the virus without risking an outbreak.
The SARS-CoV-2 is commonly spread by exhaling sharply, (e.g. sneezing or coughing), which ejects droplets of tiny aerosols from the lungs. These mucus-y droplets have a high surface to volume ratio and dry out quickly, so both wet and dry virus particles come into contact with a surface or travel directly into a new host. The researchers mimicked these conditions in their experiments.
They tested the virus-like particles on glass surfaces under both dry and humid conditions. Using atomic force microscopy, they observed how, if at all, the structures changed. The scientists exposed samples to various temperatures under two conditions: with the particles inside a liquid buffer solution and with the particles dried out in the open. In both liquid and bare conditions, elevating the temperature to about 93 degrees F for 30 minutes degraded the outer structure. The effect was stronger on the dry particles than on the liquid-protected ones. In contrast, surfaces at about 71 degrees F caused little to no damage, suggesting that particles in room temperature conditions or outside in cooler weather will remain infectious longer.
They saw very little difference under levels of humidity on surfaces; however, the scientists stress that humidity likely does matter when the particles are in the air by affecting how fast the aerosols dry out. The research team is continuing to study the molecular details of virus-like particle degradation.
“When it comes to fighting the spread of this virus, you kind of have to fight every particle individually. And so you need to understand what makes each individual particle degrade,” Vershinin said. “People are also working on vaccines and are trying to understand how the virus is recognized? All of these questions are single-particle questions. And if you understand that, then that enables you to fight a hoard of them.”
Abhianyu Sharma, Benjamin Preece, Heather Swann, and Saveez Saffarian of the University of Utah and Xiangyu Fan, Richard J. McKenney and Kassandra M. Ori-McKenney of University of California, Davis, were also authors of the Biochem Biophys Res Comms study. Heather Swann, Abhimanyu Sharma, Benjamin Preece, Abby Peterson, Crystal Eldridge, David M. Belnap, and Saveez Saffarian of the University of Utah also co-authored the Scientific Reports study.

Understandably, people who ask for advice may not always follow it. But how they listen and respond makes a difference in the outcome and its impact on others. This includes frustrating encounters with “askholes” — people who constantly ask for your advice, yet ALWAYS do the complete opposite of what you told them to do” [Urban Dictionary] — and those who ask for advice only to dismiss it.
Ignoring valuable suggestions from reliable sources can negatively affect the workplace. Read on to learn more.
Example #1. When the consultant voice doesn’t matter
A colleague of mine shared the following experience.
I was called in to consult with an IT organization to facilitate the initial sessions on a massive change and reorganization. People were not being forced to join the new organization — they came by choice and interview. During the first session, an employee who worked in network security stood up and said “I don’t support any of this and will work to stop it.” I was able to address the employee’s disruption temporarily and he sat down.
When I later met with the IT leader to discuss this serious issue, he made light of it saying, “People say things like that during changes. It’s no big deal.” I told him it IS a big deal as the network security specialist accepted this job in the new organization by choice and said he will do everything to stop the change. Still the leader seemed unmoved. Finally I said, “I am telling you that you better check into what he is doing to the network. This is serious!!” He did and found out that the network security specialist was taking steps to subvert it.
When you ask a trusted consultant for an opinion, at least check out what they are saying. This wasn’t the first leader to initially dismiss my concerns only to find out the situation was very serious.
Example #2. When the employee voice doesn’t matter
A service-based organization implemented system changes that frustrated both front-line employees and customers. Fortunately, loyal customers were patient and empathetic as staff struggled to adapt. Several customers also politely shared their concerns with employees to be communicated upward. But staff feedback was routinely ignored to the point that employees resorted to asking customers to complain directly to management as senior leaders were more likely to respond to customer complaints.
As a result, customers were made aware of management not listening to employee feedback which lead customers to rethink their perceptions of how the organization was run. It’s why I remind leaders, “The way your employees feel is the way your customers will feel, and if your employees don’t feel valued, neither will your customers.”
How’s your willingness to listen?
I realize not all suggestions and advice should be heeded. But ignoring outright the input of peoples’ experience and expertise is not only frustrating to those with something to say, it can lead to their disengaging with you.
Asking for advice is only half the battle. How you respond puts your professional credibility and workplace engagement at risk.
