Health Care Inches On
The Senate Finance Committee approved a health care bill which will now go to the Senate. The Republicans, even with Olympia Snowe, can't filibuster the bill. The Democrats didn't need Snowe's vote in the Finance Committee but picking her up is interesting because if the GOP does try and filibuster, I think they can now count on her to kill it. But I'm not sure the GOP will even try that at this point. What will be interesting is to see what other GOP Senators will jump on board with this bill. Susan Collins, also from Maine, seems like she will also support the bill. Will other GOP Senator's follow? That all depends on where they live and if their state supports it. Senators from the Midwest and Northeast who are Republicans may very well join Collins and Snowe... but remember they're doing this for political reasons. The bill has already been passed at this point... their votes will just be so they can go home and tell their constituents that they supported health care reform (and there may be a few Democrats who decide that they won't vote for the bill for the same reason).
I'm surprised there is so much resistance to health care reform in the US. When, as the Wall Street Journal points out, Massachusetts reformed health care in their state things didn't go as planned, however this isn't a reason to NOT do anything. Why? Because health care costs are like a cancer in this country right now. It will eat us from the inside out. Something has to be done, and anyone who tells you other wise is basically rooting for America to fail. Reform is never perfect, politics gets in the way of policy, but a step in the right direct is a good thing. It may not be exactly what the left wants, and it's probably not what the right wants at all (though if they could tell me what they wanted that would be helpful and I'd actually allow them to enter the debate), but it should help to keep costs down. Yet as pieces like this WSJ editorial show, the conservatives have yet to say what would be a better option, because doing nothing is the worst option on the table at the moment.
It looks like the fall of the dollar is going to be the next big "story" in the months to come, which is some what interesting because politically that falls into both Bush and Obama's lap. Conservatives are going to try and pin as much government spending as they can on Obama, but he's only going to be responsible for some of it. Much of it Obama inherited from George W. Bush, whose cut taxes and spend money ways helped create the financial bubble and put the government into major debt to begin with. Plus, it was W who pushed and passed his own stimulus along with the (necessary) TARP bill last year. While they both don't equal what the Obama stimulus will end up costing, a half a trillion dollars is a lot of money for a Republican President to spend and try and blame on a Democrat.
Finally, not much of a policy issue but worth the mention.

Players are not happy with Assassin's Creed Valhalla microtransactions
Published: 15:20, 05 February 2021

Assassin's Creed Valhalla store
Assassin's Creed Valhalla community on Reddit has voiced their discontent with Ubisoft's focus on microtransactions, more specifically, armour sets that have been added lately. The players would rather see patches with bug fixes and optimisation.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla was a major success for the publisher Ubisoft both critically and commercially. The game received positive reviews from players and critics but just like every game, it's not without its flaws. Many players reported bugs and issues which Ubisoft have been trying to fix with post-launch patches.
However, the game still has a lot of gremlins and players are eager to find out when exactly these will be fully purged. And while we wait for an update from Ubisoft, there's been plenty of microtransactions added to the in-game store. These include character packs, settlement packs and naval cosmetics and to be fair, most of them are cool-looking stuff but also quite pricey.
Now, players are not quite happy that Ubisoft have been so up to date with these microtransactions. They would prefer if bug fixes and updates were released as regularly as new armour packs.
"Ubi just keeps adding and adding ridiculous shit to the microtransaction store, just milking the whales of their money with content that only a very small percentage of players will actually get to enjoy," Zuazzer wrote in a Reddit post , which at the time of writing has almost 5,000 upvotes.
Other Redditors wrote that they would not have any issues with microtransactions if the game was polished, free of bugs and had some much-requested features like transmog armour system.
"Normally I wouldn’t mind if the game was in a perfectly working state. It isn’t. Where’s a new game plus? Where’s transmog armour system? These are things you’ve had since the previous games," Redditor bowie93 wrote.
Some Redditors don't ask for all these features and would rather have a game where bugs won't prevent them from enjoying it. "Where is the patch for the [In the Absence of an Ealdorman quest?] It's been more than two months now that it has been reported to Ubisoft and that some of us still can't play the game because we're stuck and can't go any further in the story", C_latome asked.

These are, of course, some legit questions from the community and it will be interesting to see if Ubisoft respond to the post since it's quite popular on Assassin's Creed Valhalla subreddit.
We also have to say that you can complete Assassin's Creed Valhalla without spending a dime in the store. As for the bugs, we have encountered some bugs in our playthrough but nothing game-breaking. This does not mean that other players do not have issues with bugs. We're just lucky not to find any major ones.

The Ferguson Commission
The report is being released today. 198 pages.
It'll probably be nicely-bound, where it will fit on a shelf besides other reports that were released with a big splash and then ignored. Like the report of the Kerner Commission.
Because the small pissant towns around St. Louis that exist for no good reason (look up St. Anne, MO sometime) aren't going away. Those towns get a lot of their funding from using the cops and the courts to shake people down.
The cops aren't interested in giving up their perceived right to abuse and kill minorities. (It's still legal in Mo for a cop to shoot a person fleeing an arrest.) The state legislature is controlled by the party of the Confederacy, which is basically just fine with the cops thumping and shooting those people.
I'd like to hope that things will change. I'm cynical about it.

Enjo kosai: compensated dating (or child prostitution) in Japan
I’m interested in the great variety of sex-money exchanges all over the world, and Japan is home to many. These cards advertising sexy dating and talking services are pasted all over public telephone kiosks there.
The Japanese term enjo kôsai (援助交際, subsidized companionship) describes women who meet male strangers for dates that may involve sex in exchange for money or gifts. Some campaigners simply call it child prostitution, since nowadays the term mostly signifies teenage girls who go out with older men, often, in Laura Miller’s words, to
a karaoke box for several hours and are paid for their time. They essentially replace the much more expensive bar hostess, who likewise puts up with fumbled gropes and juvenile utterances but for a much higher price. What the media finds most irritating about the phenomenon is that the young women involved feel no shame or remorse at all. According to a 1996 police report on more than 5,000 girls involved in subsidized dating, 39 percent gave “monetary gain” and 34 percent offered “curiosity” as their motivations (Iwao 1997:45). The young women themselves often express disdain, pity, or contempt for the men they see themselves as exploiting, rather than the other way around. [The girls] like to have sex with boyfriends their own age, but if they have sex as part of enjo kõsai, they say that they “lie there like a fish” (maguro ni naru, literally ‘become a tuna’).
The subsidized dating trend is supported by several related industries, including terekura “telephone clubs”). These clubs provide a space for men who have paid a fee to sit and wait for phone calls from girls who want to arrange dates. Because the girls are able to call at no charge, this is the most common way that enjo kôsai operates. *
Rey Elbo notes that websites now allow men to contact many offering enjo kosai, as all a man has to do ‘is to put up an ad that he’s willing to spend 40,000 yen for dinner and sex.’ [295 euros]
You can read one rather detailed account of enjo kosai behaviour here. One kind of karaoke connexion is discussed here.

17 thoughts on “Enjo kosai: compensated dating (or child prostitution) in Japan
1. Ted Cheng
around the late 1990s, the internet became popular in Taiwan, it was almost when the public regarded enjo kosai as a trend and the internet became the access for enjo kosai. in response to the emergence of enjo kosai through internet, at the end of 1990s, the government enacted a statue of prevention of children and juvenile sex transaction, one article of which penalizes any public messages of sex-money exchange, even though these messages only concern the sex-money exchange among adults. The anti-prostitution NGOs which lobbied the legislation argued that, because you do not know who will access the web page and see the message, so even the message that is among adults is not acceptable in order to “protect children”. The police even pretended as who offered enjo kosai or punters and hooked other people. What is worse, the penalty of the statue for sex-money exchange information is heavier than the one for sex-money exchange, because the aim of the legislation is to address the severe crime of children sex transaction.
2. Caty Simon
Sometimes it’s hard for me to condemn child prostitution wholeheartedly when I witness the agency and control these girls exercise.
3. Laura Agustin
Most activists are eager to condemn and exclude ‘children’ from their demands, but childhood means different things to different people and in different places. And younger people who make their own decisions need to be respected. This is why blanket declarations against some activities based on age are questionable. I know it’s a fraught topic, but I think we should be thinking about it.
4. Ted Cheng
Culturally Taiwan media had imported Japanese comics, dramas and tv programs into Taiwan, especially in the 1990s. Media also tended to appropriate certain new terms from Japan to describe Taiwan’s local and similar phenomenon.
In the late 1980s the public concerned the underage sex victims in sex business and tended to see these underage sex workers as victims. However, in the late 1990s the news report found that there were juveniles (also mainly high school students) and adults who were not sex workers but voluntarily did part-time sex-money exchange activity. However, I am not sure if the Japanese enjo kosai pratice had great influence on Taiwan, because i do not have enough information or researches (yes, Taiwanese might know enjo kosai from media). I also think that it did have certain influences, but enjo kosai in Taiwan also resulted from certain Taiwan’s local cultures (I also need more researches). But, when the term “Enjo Kosai” became popular in Japan, Taiwan media also appropriated the term to described such kind sex-money exchange and the online sex-money exchange messages in Taiwan (usually internet is a convenient access for individual part-timers; in Japan, the mobile-phone culture are the major inter-personal network). At the beginning the term Enjo-Kosai was used to describe the social phenomenon and later the anti-prostitution NGOs transformed it into child prostitution/child sex exploitation.
5. Ted Cheng
One more thing, the literal meaning of Enjo Kosai, at least in Chinese, is assistance and social intercourse. As Taiwan sex liberationist Josephine Ho pointed out, “enjo kosai” is less about sex than about the “exchange”. That is to say, given that sex and money is the important aim, different tactics of exchange are more important method to reach the aim. In this sense,enjo kosai did not concern sex exploitation at all. On the other hand, since enjo kosai concerns exchange, the sex work in this sense is a part time work, or even not a “work” at all. It does not have to fulfill the professionalism of sex “work” as sex worker rights movement argued. In my friend’s field research about high school girls’ enjo kosai in Taiwan, these girls expressed enjo kosai is just a part time work and they do not understand why what they do should be regarded as a profession or work. The meaning of enjo kosai–exchange and social intercourse–enriches the meaning of prostitution that wa–the binary paradigm that only concerns sex morality and money making, exploitation and working rights.
6. Laura Agustin
Thanks, Ted, personally I don’t think the ‘work’ concept is very useful for understanding lots of sex-industry phenomena. I understand why and how activists who claim rights use ‘work’ to normalise these activities, but we don’t have to impose that idea when trying to understand culture.
There are all sorts of money/sex relationships that this applies to, not only enjo kosai.
7. Kris
I can bet that in the Netherlands if you visit a prostitute younger than 18 there is a very serious chance that she is coerced to do that.
It think moral relativism doesn’t work here. Ages ago it was normal and acceptable for men to have sex with 8-year olds. Slavery was totally acceptable. Now it is clearly not.
Pimps are very good any manipulating women to enter the sex industry. If the woman is very young, like 14, it becomes easier. Surely she will say it was her own choice to make money for her own and her boyfriend’s future. I think that you enter very dangerous territory here.
But, I made myself totally incredible here as a heavy porn consumer and my latest visit to a prostitute.
8. Ted Cheng
Of course there is forced child prostitution. However, in the enjo kosai phenomenon, as far as i know, these underage girls are not controlled by any one, and sometimes these girls organized themselves as a group. They just want to have some money by having sex, and that is all. For anti-prostitution campaign and the government, they just think this is morally wrong and they even appropriated the exploitation discourses and typical child prostitution model (victimization) to impose their own moral value on enjo kosai: they declared the phenomenon as child prostitution. In this case, coercion is never a problem, because the underage has already been regarded as victims. That is why child prostitution and paedophile is a fraught topic–do child have the ability to make consent (but on the other hand, do adult can make a consent themselves?), should the adult and the underage should have different standard of exploitation? It is a hard question especially when the phenomenon is complex and diversified, but the legislation and policy (the related discourses) could only have one answer.
9. Kris
Are enjo Kosai prostitutes really so independent? It should be further researched. But prostitution research is really difficult, I know it first hand. Many smoke screens. A really hidden world.
Also that the girls organize themselves doesn’t rule out coercion. There could be also group coercion. I read about cases in the Netherlands where teenage girls coerced other teenage girls to work in prostitution. Also women and girls who work for pimps recruite other women and girls to work in prostitution.
10. elijah
I don’t think this is a real problem in Japan, although I don’t claim to know how other countries are experiencing this phenomina. The fact that some of the girls state that they are doing it out of curiosity and others because they are bored show that it is not causing them emotional damage. Lets face the truth, if we are not concerned over the damage it causes to the girls than we are not addressing the issue but rather are simply stating our own bias. Children in Japan carry a much more adult like role than we find in thier counterparts in western civilization, we should expect them to act in a more adult like fashion.
In my oppinion it is the men who pay such large sums of money who are being exploited. Google quickly translated the prices I heard quoted in articles and these highschool girls are making $450 per client with only 46% of dates leading to sex. Furthermore the girl has the ability to screen who they date, who they have sex with, and what they do. If this were made illegal in Japan it would only strip power from the girls who could no longer go to the police if someone did hurt them or force them into something that they did not volantarily enter into.

Amazon Introduces Statistical Comparison Features
It seems that has launched some pretty cool features of which I’ve only recently become aware; Concordance, Statistically Improbable Phrases and Text Stats are available for books in which the full text is available to Amazon.
When available, these features are listed in the “Inside this Book” heading. To see these features in action, take a look at the record for War and Peace. For more information, read the Washington Post article.
The following summaries are excerpted from Amazon:
Concordance is an alphabetized list of the most frequently occurring words in a book. The font size of a word is proportional to the number of times it occurs in the book. Hover your mouse over a word to see how many times it occurs, or click on a word to see a list of book excerpts containing that word.
Statistically Improbable Phrases, or “SIPs”, are the most distinctive phrases in the text of books. To identify SIPs, our computers scan the text of all books in the Search Inside! program. If they find a phrase that occurs a large number of times in a particular book relative to all Search Inside! books, that phrase is a SIP in that book.
Text Stats calculates a variety of statistics for each book in the Search Inside! program. The Readability calculations estimate how easy it is to read and understand the text of a book.
• The Fog Index indicates the number of years of formal education required to read and understand a passage of text.
• The Flesch Index is another indicator of reading ease. The score returned is based on a 100 point scale, with 100 being easiest to read. Scores between 90 and 100 are appropriate for 5th and 6th graders, while a college degree is considered necessary to understand text with a score between 0 and 30.
• The Flesch-Kincaid Index is a refinement to the Flesch Index that tries to relate the score to a U.S. grade level. For example, text with a Flesch-Kincaid score of 10.1 would be considered suitable for someone with a 10th grade or higher reading level.

Learning from Failure, Via Scott Adams
Jan 24, 2019
By AMA Staff
Scott Adams, creator of the mega hit comic strip Dilbert, has written a new book, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life (Portfolio, 2013). He describes the book this way: “It's not an advice book, but you might find it useful to learn about one person's unusual strategy for success and how it all turned out.”
Adams stopped by AMA’s New York City office recently to discuss the book for an Edgewise podcast. The following is an edited version of that interview.
AMA: In the book, you talk a great deal about being healthy, both physically and emotionally. Why is health so important to the way you approach your work and your life?
Scott Adams:
Well, there’s almost nothing you can think of that wouldn't work better if your energy isn’t better, if your concentration isn’t better, if you’re not taking sick days. So there’s a lever that affects literally every part of your life from your romantic life to your career. People who look healthier get better jobs. The science is pretty clear on that. When I wrote How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, I included chapters on diet and fitness not because I’m an expert, but because I’m a simplifier. I thought, how can I simplify those topics to the most important single thing you can do in each case? So that’s what I try to do.
AMA: You also discuss how to overcome shyness, mainly by being what you call a “big phony.” How is this possible?
I’m genetically shy. I’ve got the easy blush thing going on. But I found that just through practice, if you put yourself out there you can get used to anything. I also took the Dale Carnegie course which teaches you actual techniques for not only giving a speech, but for having a conversation with a stranger. Their technique is so simple that you almost don't think it will work until you try. It’s really just asking questions of the other person—you know, where do you work; what’s your name; where do you live—that sort of thing. At first, it will feel artificial. You will feel like a huge phony when you’re doing it because you’re just going down the list: “Hi. What’s your name? Where do you live?” But when you do it, you find that people are completely engaged while talking about themselves. It turns out that there is simply a technique to it. If you look at the people who are good socially, they follow this simple little script. They ask about you, and they let you do the talking, because everyone’s comfortable talking about themselves.
AMA: Talk a bit about the power of simplicity.
I’ve found that the simplest solution is almost always going to be the one that works best. There are optimizers who are looking for, “Let me get every little advantage in this situation,” and there are people who just say, “What’s the bottom line?” Let me give you an example. In the case of fitness, there are hundreds of things you should know to do it right—everything from, “When do I eat my protein?” to “How much water should I have?” “How much should I do every day?” But if you boil it down to, “What’s the one most important thing?,” it is simply to be active every day. Because what happens if you do it every day is it turns from a burden—“Oh, I’ve got to exercise again” to something that feels good, if you don't overdo it. It becomes a habit. So the starting point is doing something every day. The rest is the easy part.
AMA: What can we learn from failure?
SA: Well, if you pick your challenges right, even if they don't work out, you’ve learned a new skill set that is additive to what you all ready have. You might meet some people, make some new contacts. For example, I wrote my new book because of a previous book that didn’t do too well, but I have those contacts, and that allowed me to more easily do this book. Research shows that if somebody tries to do an entrepreneurial startup, their odds of making it work the first time are low, maybe one in ten. But the second time they try, they’ve built up so much talent, resources, and knowledge that their odds of success are maybe one in three, or whatever the number is, but it’s much better. So there’s lots of science that tells is to just keeping trying and building our skill sets.
AMA offers a wide array of seminars that will help you communicate more compellingly. Here are two:

Your Neighborhood Librarian Cooks a Meal
So this is going to go well.
"I can make a pie," he says. "They showed us at school."
"You can make a piecrust." I said, skeptical.
"Yeah, they showed us."
"Can you drive?" I asked. "You've watched me do it."
"Probably," he said.
Fair enough. He could probably drive. "Well, I can't make a piecrust," I told him, "and I've been cooking for a long time. There's a lot of finesse involved. And measurement."
"Oh," he says.
Boy knows his limitations, I'll give him that.
Milo and I are both pretty good cooks. We get proportion and complementary flavor, we can throw things together and they'll come out ok. But measuring we don't really do. I think it interferes with our instincts. When I have to calculate measurements, I'll lose sight of what I intuitively understand to be right, and whatever I'm making will come out all fucked up.
So this is what recipes look like once I'm done with them:
These are from my recipe notebook. I started it when I lived in Brooklyn in 1995. It's full of ambitious experiments and holiday side dishes and 'jesus why can't you remember how to cook rice?' instructions to myself. There are about a hundred recipes for bread pudding, including one from Pascal's Manale in New Orleans which calls for 3 loaves of french bread, half a gallon of milk, and three pounds of sugar.
That was a great meal. I was in New Orleans with my boss for the American Association of Critical Care Nurses convention. Our booth - I worked for a medical publishing company - was immediately across the aisle from a company that sold internal prosthetics. Fake boobs, fake testicles. They had a couple of them out on display, I mean, that's the point, you need to be able to fondle them to be sure they possess the right consistency and heft.
And this is why even on my worst days I'm never really dissatisfied with my life. Memories. Of palpating fake nuts.
There are recipes from off the side of boxes - because you never know when Baker's is going to stop printing their one-bowl brownie recipe on the box and then you're screwed because those really are the best brownies (as long as you dust them with kosher salt and chili powder just before putting them in the oven - see?? I just can't leave well enough alone). There's an episode of Friends about that. Courtney Cox slaves for a week trying to duplicate Phoebe's grandmother's chocolate chip cookie recipe when it turns out to be the one on the chocolate chip bag.
There are pressed flowers and photos of lobsters. Recipes I've never made (homemade mustard) and recipes for things I make so often I'm surprised to find they have a written origin (Chicken Cacciatore). There are rare instances of me drawing. I can really not draw, except sometimes. That's a passable sweet potato.
The evolution of my chili recipe is tracked. Multiple batches of hot sauce. There are pictures of parties and guest appearances by friends and family. A pork dish Bob's sister Patsy made for my birthday, and a New Mother Chicken Soup my sister-in-law Jane made for me just after Milo was born, even though she's a vegetarian.
Here's our Jaime, showing off the (baked) goods at a tree-trimming party in our first Brooklyn apartment. Jaime brought an eyeshadow suspended on a string. "What do I know from Christmas ornaments?" she shrugged. "I'm a Jew!" Goes on the tree every year though - sparkly is as sparkly does.
I kept it up for about 8 years and then the recipes peter out. Kids, right? You know I love 'em! Detailed, illustrated recipes give way to "Meatloaf a la April 4th" and "here's how you sear a steak, dodo."
Bob and Paula, The Middle Years: The Wineglass and the Sippy Cup
Which isn't to say I stopped cooking. The evidence is stuffed into the front and back of that notebook, used as bookmarks in our other cookbooks, magnetted to the fridge. Today I finally went through all those loose Epicurious printouts, pages ripped from the New York Times Magazine, lists of ingredients scribbled on wrinkled-up scraps of paper.
Some people scrapbook - I cookbook
And looking at all the stuff we've made for holiday dinners and for our annual Pig Roast and the stuff I made because I was bored, I guess I get why my kids will order unfamiliar things off menus, and why Milo can make a marinade without even thinking about it. Ezra leafs through a baking cookbook and decides he'd like to make a four-layer, two-color birthday cake with two kinds of icing for his brother's birthday.
Because sure, in addition to "Super Easy Salmon" and "This is the last-minute Brussels sprouts thing" there's also the Bo Ssam from Momofuku and Pecan Bread Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce (served that one to my friends PG and TK the night author Adam Gidwitz came to supper).
Looks like I wrote down the recipe for the homemade miso soup with udon I used to make them for lunch twice a week when they were preschoolers. I can still make dashi broth half-asleep and talking on the phone.
That's our neighbor B, who I think maybe actually is driving now.
And lord there are so many drinks recipes among these stained and folded printouts. My Bad Mom friends will be relieved to know that I printed out and kept the instructions for making red white and blue frozen rum slushies. Some of those scraps of paper record fried chicken experiments, as well as documentation of how my friend Mona does it (dredged in flour with salt and pep, fried in lard, in a 24" skillet she calls Vera) (god Mona is such a boss).
We brought home a plastic bottle of the sugar-citric acid-chili powder that you find on the table at restaurants in Mexico (it's awesome, it's like an Atomic Warhead ground up with chili powder and will make a hard-boiled egg taste dynamite), thinking it would be like the seasoning I made for the fried chicken one time which the kids started calling Magic Dust because it tastes good on EVERYTHING, but it's not.
I lost that recipe as soon as I found it, and have since bought two cookbooks (Ride or Fry and Fried and True, both good) in search of it - but it turned out to be from Brooklyn Bowl, printed in the NYT Mag, and I had it among my scraps.
Above all, there are a million recipes for Hoppin' John. There's the recipe from the Goya bag, and one from Emeril, and at least two in my own handwriting, and one from when my friend Leslie, who used to be a professional chef, made it at Sarah's half-finished house in Pittsburgh one New Year's Day. Lacking any of the usual measuring hardware, he expressed all measurements in terms of coffee mugs - specifically, the coffee mug that was the favor distributed by Sean and Heidi at their wedding. This was brilliant - everyone who woke up in that house that day had been to that wedding. We would always be able to make Les's hoppin' john. The handle on mine finally broke, but we still use it to hold pens.
It's a little weird that I should have felt compelled to document how to make hoppin' john. It's just beans and rice, really - one of those things I can make while I'm doing ten other things, like making a mopping sauce for a 110-lb pig.
I guess it's because you make it on New Year's Day. It's special, and when it's really good it's just terrific. And it's lucky! Like me!
And you. To quote my friend Cole, who is a phenomenal cook - Your Neighborhood Librarian loves you, and your butt looks great in those pants.
PS - So anyway, here's the pie Milo's going to make - the whole reason I dragged my cookbook out in the first place was to find this recipe for Shepherd's Pie, by our friend John Forrest, a legit British person, written down by Jaime while it was being made. And illustrated with a picture of Milo and his brother Ezra laying down the beat on Tupperware in our kitchen before we got rid of those cabinets and that floor.

‘Get Out Of Iraq’ – US Abandons Citizens After Its Terror Attack
Major General QASSEM SOLEIMANI (centre) with fighters from Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces – leading the fight against ISIS
THE US Embassy in the Iraqi capital Baghdad has urged all American citizens to run for it and get out of Iraq.
This is after the US’ cowardly assassination of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, which was carried out by US forces on Friday morning on the orders of President Donald Trump, left its citizens in Iraq open to reprisals.
The US embassy urged on Friday: ‘Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, the US Embassy urges American citizens to heed the January 2020 Travel Advisory and depart Iraq immediately.’
It added: ‘US citizens should depart via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land.’
The statement also warned US citizens ‘not to approach the embassy’, adding that the US consulate general in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, would be open for appointments.
The US Defence Department confirmed the strike, saying it came ‘at the direction of the president’.
US Democratic leaders in both chambers of Congress expressed outrage over Trump’s ordered strike, saying the Republican president did not obtain congressional approval.
US Senator and 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has condemned Trump for ordering the assassination, warning that the killing will destabilise the region and puts the US on the path to another war.
‘When I voted against the war in Iraq in 2002, I feared it would lead to greater destabilisation of the region,’ Sanders tweeted on Thursday. ‘That fear unfortunately turned out to be true.’
‘The US has lost approximately 4,500 brave troops, tens of thousands have been wounded, and we’ve spent trillions (in Iraq),’ Sanders added.
Jeremy Corbyn MP, leader of the Labour Party, responding to the killing of Qasem Soleimani but did not condemn the attack nor urge the Johnson Tory government to do so.
He said: ‘The US assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani is an extremely serious and dangerous escalation of conflict in the Middle East with global significance.
‘The UK government should urge restraint on the part of both Iran and the US, and stand up to the belligerent actions and rhetoric coming from the United States.
‘All countries in the region and beyond should seek to ratchet down the tensions to avoid deepening conflict, which can only bring further misery to the region, 17 years on from the disastrous invasion of Iraq.’
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab shadowed Corbyn’s position saying: ‘We have always recognised the aggressive threat posed by the Iranian Quds force led by Qasem Soleimani. Following his death, we urge all parties to de-escalate. Further conflict is in none of our interests.’
SYRIA has condemned the ‘US criminal aggression’ which led to the murder of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani following a US air raid at Baghdad’s international airport.
It also slammed Washington for the killing of the Deputy Chairman of Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Commission Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and a number of the Mobilisation’s cadres.
‘Syria condemns in the strongest terms the US criminal aggression which led to the martyrdom of the leader of al-Quds Failaq, Iranian Major General Qasem Suleimani, and Deputy Chairman of Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Commission Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and a number of the Mobilisation’s cadres as a dangerous escalation of the situation in the region,’ the statement said.
The Hamas movement also offered sincerest condolences on the death of the head of IRGC’s Quds Force Qassem Soleimani.
Hamas said: ‘Qassem Soleimani played a major and critical role in supporting the Palestinian resistance at all levels.
‘We mourn the death of Soleimani and the other Iranian commanders killed in the US carried-out air raid. Hamas also offers condolences for our brotherly Iraqi people on the killing of many Iraqis in the raid.
‘On this sad occasion, Hamas condemns the US bullying that creates disputes and upheavals in the regions, just to serve the interests of the Israeli occupation.’
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said at a briefing on Friday that Beijing has ‘consistently opposed the use of military force in international relations’.
He did not however condemn the US action since that would no doubt endanger the China-US trade deal.
Shuang continued: ‘We are closely following this incident. China has consistently opposed the use of military force in international relations.’
Russia has called the missile strike by the US an ‘irresponsible step that will lead to increased tensions throughout the Middle East region’.
Moscow also offered condolences to the Iranian people over the death of Soleimani.
‘We consider the killing of Soleimani as a result of US missile strike in the outskirts of Baghdad as an adventuristic step that will lead to increased tensions throughout the region. Soleimani devotedly served the cause of protecting Iran’s national interests,’ a Foreign Ministry official told Sputnik.

1. Silky takes a few pieces of kibble to bed, then back for a few more, then finally will stand and eat. She is a border collie afterall and needs a job to do, even if it is relocating her food.
2. Sometimes Silky twirls before she catches the ball, trying to get her to do it on command. It is more like a single spin.
3. Silky doesn't care for certain people either, but I encourage her with "away" or "out", I also use these terms when a dog at the park is insistant on Silky being it's playmate or a few dogs do the gang up thing.
4. I'm leery about an electric with a BC since they have such a high drive, they may run out but not back in. Silky is great with the little 4 ft green plastic/vinyl barracade fence, but I always monitor her unless she is tethered.
5. I agree with a time and a place. Silky gets a lot of off leash in our yard and at Bow Wow Beach, a dog park in Stow Ohio. She is at about 60% on recall, so I walk her on a retractable leash a couple times a day, I have seen dogs that always stay close and come when called get distracted eventually. I feel with a dog, the only thing that is 100% 100% of the time is their unconditional love.
6. My last girl, who was tragically taken away from me (when a guy on a motorcycle t-boned my s10 in a parking lot--he was travelling about 130mph--hit the passenger door where my baby was in the passenger seat, we were fully loaded with stuff for the rescue reunion the next day, anyway my Stitches raised her head and upon impact the gastank flew off the bike and through the window, hit my girl in the head deflecting it from direct impact with my temple, she lived to make sure we got out and passed away at the vet hospital that a rescue worker told my friend to take her to, he said tell them to do whatever it takes, but she only lived for an hour, no broken bones but head trauma) Stitches was a border collie mix and very loyal and smart, I am black and white dog person so, BC fits the bill. When I lost Stitches, I was heartbroken but knew life would go (since I got Stitches when my girl Sketcher passed away in '06) After Sketcher I said no more, I can't handle the heartbreak, but quickly realized I can't handle not having a dog, a big part of me was gone. I went on-line and found Stitches at a rescue not far away. What a treasure, she got involved with the rescue, and was little big personality. She loved and touched the lives of everyone she met. So after loosing her, she told me that there was someone who needed me and would help me, on-line again (the recsue didn't have "my" dog) but one in Eastern PA did. I found her when I got home from the hospital the day after the accident. So 2 of rescue volunteers took me to meet my Silky. I already knew she was mine, so the long drive didn't matter, she was coming home with me. She has been perfect for me and I for her. She had a rough beginning, intended for nothing but breeding. Not much human interaction and not food motivated in any way. She was very timid and lacked any self confidence. But, now is had blossomed into a beautiful flower and attrects many social butterflies. She loves other dogs, we go to a place called Bow Wow Beach, and is learning that I will never let a human hurt her so she can trust some of the ones she knows. We are healing together and loving life together. We committed love and safety to each other, not a lot more is required, but she has developed great skill with a tennis ball and has fantastic obedience on a leash. We are learning recall, but not pushing her, and are going to start with some backyard agility (so she is comfortable with the equipment) before we join a club. Life is good and she is full of life, we are happy.

C Dixon - Why I’m interested in Bitcoin 12/31/2013
Some people assume that all Bitcoin advocates are motivated by a libertarian political agenda. That is certainly not my agenda. I’m a lifelong Democrat who supported Obama in the last two elections. I think the Federal Reserve plays an important function, and I don’t agree with people who think inflation should be our nation’s primary economic concern.
It is true that many early Bitcoin proponents were libertarians. But it is also true that almost every significant computing movement had early proponents who were ideologically motivated. The developers of the first personal computers were closely aligned with the 60s counterculture movement. Open source software was originally created by people who believed that all software should be available for free. Early advocates of blogging and collaborative systems like Wikipedia were trying to democratize the production and dissemination of information. This isn’t coincidental: broad-based technology movements have depended on non-economic participants early on since it often took years for commercial participants to get involved.
I wrote a blog post about this issue about four years ago. My argument was that if the technology industry wants to change the financial services industry, it can’t just build new services on top of existing financial services companies. That would be like trying to disrupt Google or Apple by building services on top of their platforms. To actually have an impact (and create large businesses) you need to create services that completely bypass incumbent financial companies. I gave a series of examples including payments:
Charging 20% interest rates (banks) and skimming pennies off every transaction (Visa and Mastercard) is a very profitable business. Starting a new payment company that doesn’t depend on the existing banks and credit card companies could be disruptive.
Since then I made a number of financial services technology investments, all of which were consistent with this thesis.
The payment industry is a $500 billion industry (or larger, depending on how you measure it). That means banks and payment companies charge $500B per year in fees to provide a service that mostly involves moving bits around the Internet. There are other services they provide like credit, security, and dispute resolution, but in any reasonable analysis these services should cost dramatically less than they currently do. The payment industry should be at least an order of magnitude smaller than it is today.
Another thing that informed my view was seeing what a huge headache payments were for startups I was involved with. Let’s say you sell electronics online. Profit margins in those businesses are usually under 5%, which means the 2.5% payment fees consume half the margin. That’s money that could be reinvested in the business, passed back to consumers, or taxed by the government. Of all of those choices, handing 2.5% to banks to move bits around the Internet is the worst possible choice. The other main challenge startups have with payments is accepting international payments. If you are wondering why your favorite technology service isn’t available in your country, the answer is often payments.
But the most exciting aspect of Bitcoin (and this is admittedly more speculative) are all the interesting new business and technology models that “programmable money” could enable. For example, I am very bullish on micropayments (this is a longer topic which I plan to write about separately). The world recently ran its first large-scale micropayments experiment – so called in-app payments on iOS and Android – and despite some serious design flaws (centralized control, 30% fees), it was a smashing success. I think Bitcoin could enable a micropayment system for the open web, and thereby provide a business model beyond banner ads for many important services such as journalism.
I’m not claiming that Bitcoin (or any new technology) can save the economy or the world. The technology industry is in the business of creating products and services that either enable new activities or make existing activities less expensive. Venture capitalists are in the business of funding entrepreneurs who run experiments to try to create these new products and services. I believe the only way the technology industry can offer meaningfully improved financial services is by building new services that don’t depend on incumbent companies. Bitcoin is a serious proposal for dramatically improving the payments industry. There are plenty of open questions but I think it’s an experiment worth running.

How to change data in the `Arc`?
use tokio::time::{self, Duration, sleep};
use tokio::sync::mpsc::channel;
use std::sync::Arc;
struct Person{
stud: Arc<Student>,
struct Student{
impl Person{
async fn interval_output(&mut self){
let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_secs(2));
let (tx, mut rx) = channel(1);
let stu = self.stud.clone();
tokio::spawn(async move{
let _ = tx.send(1).await;
tokio::spawn(async move{
let s = stu.clone();
_ = interval.tick() => {
println!("inside loop");
s.age +=1;
Some(_) = rx.recv() => {
async fn main(){
let p = Person{
stud: Arc::new(Student{
When I run the code, it shows trait DerefMut is required to modify through a dereference, but it is not implemented for Arc<Student>.
Use an Arc<Mutex<_>> or Arc<RwLock<_>> or the like. Citing the docs:
Shared references in Rust disallow mutation by default, and Arc is no exception: you cannot generally obtain a mutable reference to something inside an Arc . If you need to mutate through an Arc , use Mutex , RwLock , or one of the Atomic types.
Also, if you're interested in Atomics (which is a large subject), jonhoo has a great video on it: Crust of Rust: Atomics and Memory Ordering - YouTube.

Sponsored App Review: Sunnycomb
Description: Weather apps can be a dime a dozen now a days but none have really taken to leap to make the weather application more social and interactive. None except Sunnycomb. It's a weather application that is also social, which is a fresh new take on a weather application, providing the emotions and moods of how people feel about the weather on a given day. Not just users in your local area, but users all around the globe. Some may be just content with looking at the weather and seeing how hot or cool it is, whether or not it'll rain tomorrow, and what the temperature will be later on in the evening, and that's OK. If you want a weather app with a little more interactivity to it, Sunnycomb just might be able to provide that for you.
How It Works: You'll need the app installed on your device before you can readily start checking the weather and letting others know about your current mood on how warm it is, for that you'll want to head to the Play Store and download Sunnycomb.
Sunnycomb (3)
Sunnycomb can give you the weather, but it is much more than just letting you know the current temperature and the day's precipitation or lack there of. It's made to be social, to share your mood, or how you feel about the weather where you are.
Sunnycomb (2)
For the local forecast, you can grab the temperature stats in either Celsius or Fahrenheit, whichever you prefer. The local forecast also shows you conditions, humidity, and other factors just like any other weather app. The interface is delightful and rather elegantly designed as well.
Sunnycomb (4)
Sunnycomb is all about sharing your weather experiences and bringing your local forecasts to life. This is helped by users sharing their own generated views of the sky through images taken using the in-app camera function.
Sunnycomb (6)
The moods provide "emotional details" on what the weather currently feels like to you and others around the globe. Check out others moods on the weather in their area and share yours so others can grasp how the weather feels where you are. Sunnycomb also lets you generate and create your very own weather report and submit it into the cloud for all to see. Let others know exactly what the weather is like in your area.
Sunnycomb (8)
To make things even more sociable and interactive, Sunnycomb lets you like, comment, and share the weather reports that you find most useful or like the most. Others will see this reflected on the same weather reports should they come across them. You can also do a search for specific locations should you want to see images or find details on the weather in certain areas.
Sunnycomb (7)
There is also a cool "shake device" feature that brings up the name of the geo-location where each image was taken by tilting the device in an almost flick of the wrist type motion. Do the same thing again to dismiss the location names and simply view the images again.
Sunnycomb (5)
Opinion: This is definitely a new and fresh take on getting your weather information. Normally you have a weather app that just provides you with the forecast, conditions and other weather information, but with Sunnycomb it has all of that plus adds a whole social interaction element to it by allowing users to create and share their very own weather forecasts, which users can like, comment on, and share themselves. User submitted images and moods about the current weather in one's location are also nice touches and something different.
• Speed (5/5) – App transition and animations, load times, and general use were all quick
• Features (4.5/5) – Sunnycomb provides quite a bit that many other weather apps don't, plus the stuff you'd find in most others. The social features are what set it apart.
• Theme (5/5) – The theme is actually rather elegantly designed and the use of colors makes the app feel like a sunny day(which of course was the intention I'm sure)
• Overall (4.5/5) – This is a great weather app, especially for anyone that loves weather and wants to share that enthusiasm with others who feel the same.
• Great theme and use of colors. App UI is very visually appealing
• Cool features and social interaction through moods, images shares of the sky and likes/comments on posts
• Create your own weather report and share it with others
• First time use might be a bit confusing for some, but getting the hang of the interface is simple after a little more time
Conclusion: Most weather apps provide you with the same types of functions while Sunnycomb takes the weather data that's important and pairs it with a list of great social features and interactions that really make it shine(no pun intended)and stand out. If you love sunny days and aren't a huge fan of the freezing rain, share your moods about it and others will be able to interact with those moods. Most of us can imagine how wonderful it feels and looks outside during a bright sunny day and Sunnycomb gives you a way to share that with others around the world. It's also a great way to see user generated images and data about the current weather in a location you might be traveling to, which can be ultimately more useful than generated data through most services since it's user submitted.

Dash: Create a Robot Constructor for Adults
Can such a hobby as creating robots become mainstream? The developers of the Dash project are sure that yes. Their project is a designer for creating robots with their own hands. Of course, there is no way to build a giant transformer or robot to conduct battles with alien invaders using such a constructor. But it's possible to make your own little home robot. According to the developers, Dash is perfect for engineers, technicians, people who are passionate about technology, including schoolchildren and students.
The set includes several sensors that help the created robot navigate in space. Of course, self-assembly of the robot may seem a little complicated for a beginner, but where can a beginner get the necessary experience in robotics, if not in the process of assembling his own project?
The developers call their project “origami robot,” since the creation of the device also includes the stage of folding the parts into a single whole. Parts of the robot are delivered in the form of a sheet of plastic, which is already cut by the laser into the necessary parts. The kit has everything you need for assembly, except for glue.
Once the robot is assembled, it can be controlled using any iOS device via Bluetooth 4.0 (it is not clear why Android was not turned on right away, postponing the inclusion of support for such devices until later). Dash is charged via micro USB, it takes about 40 minutes to fully charge the battery.
There is some good news for Arduino fans: Dash is compatible with this board.
So far, funds are being raised for the project, it takes only $ 40 to pre-order the robot, but for this money you can get only the “younger” model of the device. For $ 65, the “investor” receives a more advanced model, and for $ 100, the buyer receives both the robot and the door-to-door delivery. If the project receives the necessary amount, then only 1000 of these sets will be produced. Perhaps in future production will continue.
By the way, of the 64 thousand dollars requested by the developers, 42 thousand have already been raised, and there are still 25 days left. I think the probability that the necessary funds will be raised is very high.
Here is a video of what might happen after the build:

Republic Wireless gained some notoriety a few months back for offering a $19/month phone plan for unlimited-ish data, voice and text. The only hang up before was that Republic Wireless limited you on what unlimited truly meant. Not anymore though. Now, unlimited TRULY means unlimited. And it still only costs 19 bucks.
Previously, Republic Wireless would give you the boot from their network if a user used significantly more than 550 minutes, 150 texts, and 300 MB of data over 3G. Now? Use and abuse the unbelievable $19 phone plan as you see fit. It's no longer complicated, not deceptive at all and probably crazy to do so but Republic Wireless is eliminating all usage thresholds for voice, data and text. It's an even better plan than what the big bad boring carriers offer for "unlimited".
And it's all for only 19 bucks. I still can't believe it. [Republic Wireless via Engadget]

Beach Attire
Or, what to do while you hang out with small children all day.
I've been checking out the bathing suits of all of the people who walk by while Dagny and I play in the sand here. I was hoping to develop some kind of theory on what kinds of suits look good on different kinds of bodies. So, no -I can't report any great theories here. The number of different body shapes is too vast.
However, I have identified some easy "don't" rules:
1. Big circles or dots on bathing suits are bad. They don't look good on anyone, even college girls.
2. Writing on your bottom is bad.
3. Suits (even if they are metallic) that are close to your skin color are always unattractive.
4. More of us need to spend more time picking suits that actually "suit" us instead of falling back on whatever is at Target or Lands End.
5. You can tell when the boobs aren't real
Also, I'm becoming an un-fan of the tankini. It seems like the bathing suit equivalent of a baggy sweatshirt or yoga pants and flip flops. Why even bother with a two piece? Doug and I are working on me being less frumpy (a personal "what not to wear") so I'm looking at this a lot. I'm not saying everyone should wear a string bikini (myself included) but there is something to be said for a nice Speedo tank.

'especially' if they are metallic, I would say...

Steph, agreed that tankinis are getting kind of boring, but if you are a person with a stomach, tankinis can be more flattering, because some of them billow out around the belly.
And I like tanks and other one-pieces, but I will be honest: Speedos ARE frumpy. They are for functionality, not attractiveness. i am not saying you can't be attractive in one, but just that they are the equivalent of a cardigan sweater or overalls in the clothing world. :-)
Wes said...
I personally like the writing on girls butts :-) Spoken like a true man!! I don't like bathing suits close to skin color either. They are non-flattering. Other than that! It's all good!!
Hope you had a nice weekend :-)

I have one string bikini with writing on the butt it says"Cinema Paradiso" and the print, I guess, is stills from the movie. I have heard on more than one occasion when wearing it men comment--when I guess they think I can't hear them--that they like when girls have words on their butts. One guy said "It sort of gives you permisson to stare at their asses a little longer than you normaly can."
I too go to the beach and marvel at people's choices of suits and then laugh that I had such anxiety about myself in a bathing suit.
Case in point: One girl on our trip was wearing a string bikini that not only did she have no business wearing a string bikini but at the very least she could have bought one that fit if that was the route she wanted to go. The one she was wearing was so small I could see the girl's entire butt crack. It was quite obscene.
I don't do Tankinis--I think one pieces and tankinis emphasize the waistless wonder that I am.
Like Anne, I think tanks are frumpy too but I have gotten compliments on my "workout" suit. I thought on the first one that she was making fun of me but apparently not. It isn't totally unflattering but it really doesn't do a lot for my shape either.
Lastly, I absolutely think you have the body to bear a lot more than you do. Part of wearing some of the more revealing suits is having the confidence to do so. Self conciousness is never sexy or hot. Trust me. You have a great figure and can pretty much wear anything you want.
Tara M. said...
I like the tankini because it makes it a whole lot easier to go pee. Yanking down the one-piece is a pain. That being said, I have gone the one-piece route this year because I think the tankini tops tend to end in unflattering locations. If my love handles are still going to show, why bother with a two piece? Well, there is the bathroom issue.

I personally just like walking down the beach naked. Oh sure, michelle complains, and the cops usually have something snide to say, but you have to be true to yourself.

DMZ are incredible.
Boston's finest by a long shot.
The Devil Dogs cover "Ball Me Out" but it is such a weak version, compared to the original.
You used to be able to pick that "Live at the Rat" LP up for like $1 in the cut out bins (which is where I got mine many moons ago).
The great thing about LP is that it also has the Real Kids and Third Rail on it, who are also pretty good.
Quote by sargasm
I don't like straight edge because it's part of Hardcore, and I don't like Hardcore because, aside from the terrible music, the kids are often very homophobic.
You forgot ugly, lazy and disrespectful.
I don't actually own Live at the Rat, but it's probably about to overtake the #1 spot on my next-to-get list. If only you could find it for a buck today...
too many other records to buy right now though

Live at the Rat has no organ to my knowledge. Speaking of which, my copy came today. I owe it a listening.
Quote by BrianApocalypse
It's like a dick on a dog.
So.... you mean it's awesome?
I haven't heard much DMZ but I have a Lyres 7" that is absolutely ****ing brilliant. Aren't they like the same band?

Megaupload: le megastar a sostegno dei “pirati”?
Con un incredibile colpo di teatro, Megaupload presenta “Mega Song”: tra videoclip e spot, le star di Hollywood e della canzone supportano il servizio accusato di pirateria. Subito la prima contromossa, di Universal. Ma potrebbe essere un boomerang
La sorpresa in casa di MPAA e RIAA – le associazioni che raggruppano i grandi produttori cinematografici e musicali d’America – deve essere stata grande. Più di sorpresa forse dovremmo parlare di shock.
Già, perché a parlare in termini di aperto sostegno a Megaupload – il servizio da più parti accusato di violazioni di copyright, gestito dal losco personaggio che risponde al nome di Kim “Kimble” Schmitz – non sono blogger e utenti della rete, e neppure opinionisti e potenziali riformatori delle norme sul diritto d’autore come potrebbero essere gli esponenti del Partito Pirata svedese o tedesco.
Niente di tutto questo. A parlare, sono megastar di Hollywood e della musica. Personaggi pagati profumatamente nei rispettivi settori, e a loro volta catalizzatori di tanti successi, e quindi di proventi per le major. Continua…
Peer-to-peer: Jammie Thomas/RIAA, l’epopea continua
Sorpresa: ancora un round nell’epica (interminabile?) battaglia tra il colosso della musica RIAA e Jammie Thomas-Rasset. Situazione – ancora una volta – capovolta. Verremo mai a capo del più clamoroso caso su copyright e peer-to-peer?
Viene da chiedersi se l’epopea avrà mai una fine, quante altre battaglie potranno essere combattute e quante altre volte il risultato potrà essere rivoltato come un guanto.
Stiamo parlando della complessa ed annosa vicenda giudiziaria che vede da una parte i discografici americani rappresentati dalla solita RIAA, e dall’altra Jammie Thomas-Rasset, utente della Rete, rea di aver scambiato un mucchietto di file musicali in Kazaa, ormai sei anni addietro.
Qualche giorno fa, il 22 luglio, il terzo processo si è concluso con la riduzione della multa a carico della Thomas-Rassett a 54.000 dollari di danni, somma peraltro già apparsa in un precedente grado del processo, ma poi riportata all’astronomica cifra di 1 milione e mezzo di dollari.
Breve riepilogo: nell’agosto di 6 anni fa, Jammie si era vista recapitare una classica letterina di “cease and desist” dalla RIAA. Alla diffida era accompagnata una richiesta di pagamento: la Thomas aveva apparentemente condiviso 24 file mp3 in Kazaa nel febbraio del 2005, commettendo così una violazione di copyright. La donna rifiutò di pagare e l’anno dopo si vide citare in giudizio da parte delle major del disco.
Con un “tira e molla” a dir poco storico, la Corte Distrettuale condannò la Thomas prima a pagare 222.000 dollari di danni, nel 2007; due anni dopo la somma raggiunse la bellezza di 1.920.000 $, per poi essere ridotta dal giudice Michael J. Davis a soli 54.000 dollari. I discografici proposero addirittura un accordo che avrebbe consentito alla Thomas-Rasset di uscire dal caso pagando solo 25.000 bigliettoni. La caparbia donna e i suoi tenaci difensori risposero che avrebbero pagato al massimo i danni reali: 24 dollari. Un terzo processo civile si è chiuso a novembre 2010 nuovamente con una cifra importante, come dicevamo: 1.500.000 dollari.
Nuovamente, il giudice distrettuale Davis ha ora riportato la somma a 54.000 dollari. Davis è convinto che la donna sia colpevole e che abbia anche mentito in alcuni punti, per esempio cercando di attribuire le sue azioni ai figli o all’ex fidanzato; ciononostante, il giudice, che ben conosce il caso, ha di nuovo ritenuto di dover ridurre la sanzione che gli era apparsa eccessiva.
A questo punto però entrambe le parti restano in silenzio e valutano cosa fare: su CNET, Greg Sandoval riferisce che la RIAA è in disaccordo con la sentenza e sta valutando le prossime mosse da intraprendere. Nessun commento dai legali di Jammie, ma è tutt’altro che impossibile un ricorso alla Corte Suprema.
Jammie Thomas aveva 28 anni e veniva descritta come “ragazza madre” all’inizio del caso. Ne ha 34 adesso ed è sposata dal 2009. Kazaa esiste ancora ma è sconosciuto ai più ed è peraltro un servizio legale, in abbonamento, di proprietà di una società chiamata Atrinsic, Inc. La sua versione “corsara” – che circolò dal 2001 più o meno fino al 2006 – sembra un lontano ricordo. Probabilmente i più giovani adepti del filesharing non lo hanno mai neppure incrociato; tutta la vicenda comincia a sembrare surreale, quasi situata in un’altra epoca, per i tempi di Internet e della tecnologia.
Da più parti si fa notare come il caso – che avrebbe dovuto essere una pietra miliare, l’esempio col quale porre definitivamente un freno alla pratica della condivisione non autorizzata di file – finora sia stato solo un immenso spreco di tempo e denaro, oltre a non aver fatto bene all’immagine dei discografici stessi.
Speriamo che il 2011 segni la sua conclusione e che Jammie Thomas-Rasset possa conoscere il suo fato, perlomeno prima di avere anche dei nipoti…

iCloud & gli altri: Beam-It docet
E così l’annunciato iCloud di Apple è stato puntualmente presentato a inizio giugno: e potrebbe essere una rivoluzione. Anche se, a ben vedere, per alcuni versi è una rivoluzione che ha almeno dieci anni. Intanto The Pirate Bay e Techdirt avvertono..
Di “cloud”, “nuvole” in cui immagazzinare i nostri dati se ne parla da anni, spesso troppo e a sproposito. Se è vero che molti già fanno uso di sistemi che consentono di immagazzinare e magari condividere dati sui propri diversi pc o con altre persone – pensiamo ad esempio alle cartelle condivise in Dropbox – è pur vero che molte società si sono buttate su questa idea senza sapere bene dove andare a parare.

There was never a dull moment in "The Rescuers", the delightful animated feature released last summer by the Disney studio. "Pete's Dragon," the Disney Christmas attraction, now at area theaters, represents a total relapse into the kind of semi-comatose beamishness that the company frequently confuses with wholesome entertainment.
"Dragon" never come close to the sprightly pace, lyric charms and cliffhanging thrills of "The Rescuers." At 134 minutes, the new film, which inserts an animated character into some live-action sequences, is almost an hour longer. "Dragon" was apparently meant to be a big, rousing musical comedy-fantasy, but its' staged and photographed withour musical-comedy energy, flair or coordination.
For example, Onna White supervised the dancing and her style is instantly recognizable, but her ensembles do not have the rhythmic or pictorial charge they did in "Oliver!" where a director like Carol Reed and a photographer like Oswald Morris obviously knew how production numbers should be visualized and cut for the screen.
Don Chaffey, the director of "Pete's Dragon," is an Englishman who usually handles juvenile melodramas like "Ride a Wild Pony" for Disney.I'm not aware that he ever directed a musical, and "Pete's Dragon" is devastating evidence that he doesn't know where to start.
The story, purchased many years ago by the company, is set in the Maine seaside community at the turn of the century and concerns the efforts of an orphan to find refuge from an adoptive family of mean yokels and to persualde people that his playmate, a ponderous, goofy-faced dragon named Elliott, who can make himself invisible, is not a figment of his imagination.
The movie gets off to a promising start when Sean Marshall, the snubnosed, freckle-faced juvenile lead flies onto the screen - the invisible Elliott is giving him a ride. The promise fades as Shelley Winters, cast as the yokel matriarch, and her cohorts lumber through the opening song. It fades even more when the animated Elliott materializes and you see what the Disney folks are not trying very hard to combine live-action and animation in an irresistible way. If anything, the combination seems to wash out the color, leaving you with a pale green cartoon figure superimposed on pale live-action settings and locations.
There are plenty of troupers in the cast - Helen Reddy as the lighthouse keeper's daughter who takes Pete in, Mickey Rooney as her tipsy dad, and Red Buttons and Jim Dale as a team of confidence men. However, none turns into a picture-saver, due in considerable part to the grinding inanity of the songs supplied by Al Kasha and Joel Hirschhorn.
Chaffey also seems oblivious to his most valuable trouper, Rooney, the only one in the cast who has ever carried a musical sequence, not to mention a whole movie, gets shunted aside after introducing one number, while Dale and Buttons are permitted to wear out their welcomes with two interminable movelty songs.
Perhaps children can be counted on to enjoy Elliott's mugging and the slapstick interludes that occasionally interrupt the tedium, but parents will see this more as a chore.

As humans we evolved on this planet over the last hundreds of thousands of years in an environment that I would call local and linear. It was a local and linear environment because the only things that affected you as you were growing up on the plains of Africa was what was in a day’s walk. It was local to you. Something would happen on the other side of the planet 100,000 years ago you wouldn’t even know. It was linear in that the life of your great grandparents, your grandparents, you, your kids, their kids, nothing changed generation to generation. It was pretty much the same. You used the same stone tools. You ate the same animals. You pretty much lived in the same place.
Today we’re living in a world that is exponential and global. Something happens in China or Korea, it affects you in Manhattan literally minutes later, through stock prices, news, whatever it might be. That’s a global planet we’re living on. The life of your grandparents, your parents, you, your kids is extraordinarily different in every possible way and we know this from going to Best Buy and finding a computer that is twice as fast or four times as fast for the same dollars as you bought it a year or two ago. So we’re living in a world that’s exponential in that regard.

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in Gravity.
With Gravity, we finally get a big-event movie that delivers the thrills that have been absent from too many large-scale films this year. This is what going to the movies is supposed to be about.
I sound like a movie-critic quote machine, and I don’t care. I want to make this perfectly clear: You should see this movie—and shell out the extra couple of bucks for 3-D, because the whole idea is to physically make you feel like you are lost in space. This is a rare 3-D movie in which those glasses really add to the experience. The film often puts the viewer inside a spacesuit, looking down at the Earth or, if the character happens to be tumbling in space, looking through a helmet as the Earth rhythmically passes by.
If you are one of those people getting nauseated by your iPhone IOS 7 update and all of those crazy moving graphics, you might want to go see Don Jon instead.
In her first true science-fiction role since Demolition Man, Sandra Bullock puts herself through the ringer as Ryan Stone, an astronaut on her first space shuttle flight. Her mission commander, played by a charismatic and calming George Clooney, ribs her about her upset tummy as he flies around space in a jet pack while she works tirelessly on the Hubble.
They then receive an ominous message from Earth: The Russians have purposefully destroyed one of their satellites, and this has set off a chain reaction, destroying multiple satellites—and creating loads of fast-moving space debris. They’re told it shouldn’t be a problem. Moments later, mission command revises that theory and lets the astronauts know they’re totally screwed. Space debris collides with the shuttle, and the movie is off and running.
Director/co-writer Alfonso Cuarón delivers the action seamlessly, and the effect is unrelenting. When Ryan reaches out to grab something to prevent herself from spinning out into space, you will be straining right along with her. However, Cuarón isn’t just about the thrills: He and son Jonás have written a screenplay that packs plenty of emotional wallop. Bullock, who has discussed how difficult the shoot was, is both physically and emotionally taxed, and her haunting performance will surely put her in Oscar contention.
Actually, just about every aspect of this film should find itself in an Oscar race, from the amazing cinematography, to the gripping writing, to the amazing feats achieved through sound. Gravity would be a trippy experience if you took it in with your eyes closed. WhatCuarónand his crew do with sound will astound you.
Clooney, in a part that originally was meant for Robert Downey Jr., looks like a guy who should be floating around in space. The man’s mug just screams “Astronaut!” The actor appears to be relishing every second he spends onscreen. His Matt Kowalski is on his last mission, trying to break spacewalk records and prove his iron resolve. He even displays a good nature when space debris has just whizzed by his head and pulverized his spacecraft.
Gravity is a true cinematic achievement, so much so that I can’t really compare it to any other film. Gravity is its own beautiful beast, a unique experience that will leave you very happy you didn’t wait to watch it in your living room. See Gravity on the biggest, boldest screen available—and prepare to have your mind blown.
Gravity is playing in theaters across the valley.

Summer drought to shrink supplies of French spuds
It's harvest time and the chips are down for potato producers in northern France where a long summer drought could see French spuds shrink in size and volume. The potatoes "first lacked water and then when rain fell in July started growing anew" which means the original plants lost starch and gained too much water, spoiling them, said Regis Dumont, a[Read More...]

Vulkano is a Rust wrapper around the Vulkan graphics API. It follows the Rust philosophy, which is that as long as you don't use unsafe code you shouldn't be able to trigger any undefined behavior. In the case of Vulkan, this means that non-unsafe code should always conform to valid API usage.
What does vulkano do?
• Provides a low-levelish API around Vulkan. It doesn't hide what it does but provides some comfort types.
• Plans to prevent all invalid API usages, even the most obscure ones. The purpose of Vulkano is not to simply let you draw a teapot, but to cover all possible usages of Vulkan and detect all the possible problems in order to write robust programs. Invalid API usage is prevented thanks to both compile-time checks and runtime checks.
• Can handle synchronization on the GPU side for you (unless you choose to do that yourself), as this aspect of Vulkan is both annoying to handle and error-prone. Dependencies between submissions are automatically detected, and semaphores are managed automatically. The behavior of the library can be customized thanks to unsafe trait implementations.
• Tries to be convenient to use. Nobody is going to use a library that requires you to browse the documentation for hours for every single operation.
Comparison to other well-known Graphics APIs in Rust ecosystem.
Name Open-sourced Since API Level Notable Features
Vulkano March, 2016 High-level Rust API wrapping Vulkan APIs. Type-safe compile-time shaders. Transparent interoperability with glsl and spir-v shader code types in Rust code. Automatically generated types for shader's Layout.
Wgpu May, 2019 High-level Rust API with multiple backends. Supports multiple backends: Vulkan, Metal, DirectX, WebGPU, and other. Follows WebGPU specification. With async/await API.
Miniquad March, 2020 High-level minimalistic Rust API with multiple backends. Relatively minimalistic API well suited for small to medium graphics projects. Supports multiple backends, including browser target.
Sierra March, 2021 High-level Rust API for Vulkan/Metal APIs. Layouts, Descriptors and shader Types construction in Rust code through the macro system. Built on top of Erupt. Supports Ray Tracing Pipeline.
Glium October, 2014 High-level Rust API wrapping OpenGL OpenGL only.
Ash August, 2016 Low-level API for Vulkan. Unsafe Vulkan API bindings.
Erupt April, 2020 Low-level API for Vulkan. Unsafe Vulkan API bindings.
Please note that by the current date none of the known projects in the ecosystem(including Vulkano) reached stable release versions and the final design goals, their APIs are changing from time to time in a breakable way too, and there could be bugs and unfinished features too.
However, most of the projects mentioned above are already established definitive structures, all feature breaking changes will likely be straightforward to fix in user code, and most of them are maintained. As such we can recommend using any of them in the 3rd party code. The choice depends on the end project's goals and requirements, and we recommend examining their actual set of features and API capabilities beforehand.
Projects using Vulkano
We started collecting this list just recently and it would be appreciated if you help us by contributing(opening a PR) into
Project Name Description
Basalt GUI framework for Desktop applications
Ferret Doom-compatible game engine
Sandbox 2D Pixel Physics Simulator
Egui Winit Vulkano Vulkano integration with Egui
VideowindoW Uses Vulkano under the hood to enable asynchronous video stream compositing
We would love to help you keep your project in sync with the most recent changes in Vulkano if you give us feedback by adding your project to this list.
Thanks in advance!
Documentation and Resources
To get started you are encouraged to use the following resources:
• The vulkano-examples repository - Includes examples in the repo and also a list of projects that use vulkano.
• - Full Vulkano API documentation
• The guide on - Starts with trivial compute examples (~50 lines of code) and then works up to rendering triangles and mandelbrots. The guide is currently outdated a little. We are planning to update it in the future, but it's a good place to start understanding the base building blocks of Vulkano API.
• Github Issues - Raise a topic, ask a question or report a bug. The new topics there are watched regularly by maintainers and other community users.
• Gitter Chat - Another place to raise a question. However, the chat is not maintained regularly at this moment. Better use Github Issues for this purpose.
Contributions are very welcome! Feel free to submit pull requests, to open questions and topics in the Issues section.
The project was initially developed by Pierre Krieger(Tomaka), who established Vulkano's base design goals, and the code structure. In the meantime, development is driven by Vulkano community members.
New Pull Requests are usually scheduled for review by the end of each week. The older PRs that are already in review have priority over the new ones. We are trying to push development forward as quick as possible, but the review process sometimes takes time, please be patient as the maintainers need time to check everything properly.
If something needs to get promoted urgently, please ping current Vulkano maintainer(@Eliah-Lakhin) in the PR's or Issue's comments.
If your change adds, removes or modifies a trait or a function, please specify changelog entries in the Pull Request description(not in the changelog file directly). They will be transferred to the changelog right after the PR merge.
Every PR must pass tests in order to be merged to master.
Minor releases are usually happening between 1 to 3 months averagely depending on grow of unreleased and breaking changes in master
Repository Structure
This repository contains four libraries:
• vulkano is the main one.
• vulkano-shaders Provides the shader! macro for compiling glsl shaders.
• vulkano-win provides a safe link between vulkano and the winit library which can create a window to render to.
• vk-sys contains raw bindings for Vulkan. We used these binding previously in Vulkano, but now they are deprecated as we have migrated to Ash. However, the subproject is still in maintenance for legacy purposes, and you can use it even if you don't care about Vulkano.
In order to run tests, run cargo test --all at the root of the repository. Make sure your Vulkan driver is up to date before doing so.
Hall of Fame
We would love to mention some members, who put significant contributions to this project:
• Pierre Krieger. The initial developer. Patreon page.
• Lucas Kent. Maintainer. Patreon page.
• Austin Johnson. Maintainer. Patreon page.
• Rua. An active developer, who put a lot of effort to improve Vulkano and constantly keeping it up to date.
• You! Thanks to your help, contributions, improvements, bug reports and user experience to make this project one of the major Rust graphics API library in Rust!
Setup and Troubleshooting
Vulkano uses shaderc-rs for shader compilation. Refer to shaderc-rs documentation to provide a pre-built libshaderc for faster build times.
Note that in general vulkano does not require you to install the official Vulkan SDK. This is not something specific to vulkano (you don't need the SDK to write programs that use Vulkan, even without vulkano), but many people are unaware of that and install the SDK thinking that it is required. However, macOS and iOS platforms do require a little more Vulkan setup since it is not natively supported. See below for more details.
Unless you provide libshaderc, in order to build libshaderc with the shaderc-sys crate, the following tools must be installed and available on PATH:
• CMake
• Ninja Is optional except when building with MSVC. It may speed up build time for libshaderc.
• Python (works with both Python 2.x and 3.x, on windows the executable must be named python.exe)
These requirements can be either installed with your favourite package manager or with installers from the projects' websites. Below are some examples of ways to set up.
windows-msvc Specific Setup
1. rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
2. Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. If you have already been using this toolchain then its probably already installed.
3. Install msys2, following ALL of the instructions.
4. Then in the msys2 terminal run: pacman --noconfirm -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-python2 mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja
5. Add the msys2 mingw64 binary path to the PATH environment variable.
Windows-gnu Specific Setup
windows-gnu toolchain is not supported but you can instead cross-compile to windows-gnu from windows-msvc
Steps 1 and 2 are to workaround rust-lang/rust#49078 by using the same mingw that rust uses.
1. Download and extract
2. Add the absolute path to mingw64\bin to your PATH environment variable. (This path needs to be before the msys2 path)
3. Run the command: rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
4. Run the command: rustup target install x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
5. Install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017. If you have already been using this toolchain then it's probably already installed.
6. Install msys2, following ALL of the instructions.
7. Then in the msys2 terminal run: pacman --noconfirm -Syu mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-python2 mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja
8. Add the msys2 mingw64 binary path to the PATH environment variable.
9. Any cargo command that builds the project needs to include --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu e.g. to run: cargo run --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
Linux Specific Setup
Use your package manager to install the required dev-tools and Vulkan drivers
For example on ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential git python cmake libvulkan-dev vulkan-utils
On arch based system
sudo pacman -Sy base-devel git python cmake vulkan-devel --noconfirm
macOS and iOS Specific Setup
Vulkan is not natively supported by macOS and iOS. However, there exists MoltenVK an open-source Vulkan implementation on top of Apple's Metal API. This allows vulkano to build and run on macOS and iOS platforms.
The easiest way to get vulkano up and running with MoltenVK is to install the Vulkan SDK for macOS. There are installation instructions on the LunarG website.
On iOS, vulkano links directly to the MoltenVK framework. There is nothing else to do besides installing it. Note that the Vulkan SDK for macOS also comes with the iOS framework.

Thursday 20th November, saw the Club welcome Steve Orton to take a session on military style self defence drills.
Steve comes from a military background and much of what he taught was passed down to him by a Krav Maga instructor. Krav Maga is the martial art practiced and taught by the Israeli military. The course focused primarily on knife defence.
Steve’s drills were simple but incredibly effective, working on the idea that action is always quicker than reaction. Each scenario was drilled continuously, so that the response flowed naturally.
Steve’s teaching style was direct and engaging, making sure everyone undertsood the reality and dangers of being attacked with a knife.
Everyone left sweaty, bruised but far more importantly a little more confident in their ability to survive! We hope to welcome Steve back next year for another course.

Our 1st anniversary.
Hello, my lovely readers.
Never in million years I tought that a single app could change my whole life so dramaticaly. Here I am year later and sometimes I stillcatch myself sitting there and looking at my boyfriend thinking how the hell I got so lucky.
It's been one crazy year .We gone through a lot, good and bad but we are supporting each other no matter.
At some points you feel like you should do something different... be a bit different.....There was a really bad moment at my life and I wouldbe able to put myself back together if my boyfriend wouldnt shake me and make me understand.It's sure as day that it was a hell for him too, but here we are...endured everything and life's good again.
We first met on 28th of November and I remember myself thinking if this will be our last time meeting I will be so freaking bad. Because back then I was so hard for me to like someone ..still not sure what was the reason,but then he comes and I'm smilling like a fool and can't wait next date.
As you see we did meet again...and again and on 2nd december we were officialy couple. Feels really weird to talk about it because sometimes you just feel like you need to hide your relationshipfrom the world, because people liketo judge,be jealous of your happines and etc. But no negative things needed here.
We have shared so many adventures together trip,bike marathon, a hike.....and it's just the beggining to all this. We already have some trips planned and i can promise that you will be reading all about it....if not even watching hehe.
After all I don't really know if there's any secret for a perfect relationship...probably the biggest key is in the small thin....reminding each other how much you love each other and thing like that
....we are only people and nothing's ever perfect. We make mistakes,we fight,but the most important is to never give up. Forgive and forget and be happy together. Showthe world that we are strong enough to endure everything.
Happy our first anniversary baby.
All the love.Annie

Acupuncture is becoming an increasingly popular choice for treating chronic pain, in times when conventional medicine fails or is not recommended due to unpleasant side effects of pain medication.
More importantly, acupuncture is safe, according to Dr Lucy Chen who is a practising acupuncturist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr Chen says the potential side effects of using acupuncture is low compared with pain medication, while the benefits are aplenty. Research has shown that acupuncture reduces pain by 50% in patients, which is the equivalent of pain relief provided by pain medications.
When do you need acupuncture treatment?
Acupuncture is generally not recommended for treating new pain. Dr Chen recommends patients to visit a doctor and obtain a proper diagnosis of the possible causes of pain before trying alternative treatments. This is because acupuncture mainly serves as a complementary treatment, and is not meant to replace conventional medical therapies, especially if the cause of pain is related to other underlying medical conditions in the patient.
However, when traditional medical therapies, injections and medication fail to provide pain relief, acupuncture could just be the answer.
If You Have Persistent Back Pain
When Do You Need Acupuncture Treatment?
Chronic pain is the most common reason people turn to acupuncture, and it has shown great success in relieving pain when conventional treatments – massage, injections, and pain medications have not worked. Acupuncture works by inserting hair-thin needles into specific points throughout the body that are rich in nerves, thereby influencing the tissues and glands of the body and improving blood circulation to the affected area. This promotes wound healing and reduces the sensation of chronic pain.
Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of conditions such as chronic back, neck, shoulder, muscular pain, headache, arthritis, nerve pain and post-surgical pain. Women who experience menstrual pain will also benefit from acupuncture as it regulates the period cycle and relieves stress.
If You Are Falling Sick Frequently
When Do You Need Acupuncture Treatment?
A weak immune system makes you prone to falling sick. Acupuncture helps boost the body’s immunity against common illnesses such as colds and infections by stimulating the production of white blood cells in the body.
Acupuncture is also a natural treatment for allergies. There are several meridian points around the stomach, spleen and large intestine that releases lymphocytes, which triggers an allergic reaction from runny noses to puffy eyes. Acupuncture may even prevent allergy symptoms with long-lasting results. In many cases, patients who undergo regular acupuncture sessions can gradually reduce their reliance on antihistamine medication and eventually stop taking it altogether.
If You Want To Boost Fertility
When Do You Need Acupuncture Treatment?
As acupuncture has a positive impact on the menstrual cycle, it is often used in conjunction with fertility programs to increase the chances of conceiving. Research has shown acupuncture in fertility treatments works wonders for both men and women. In men, acupuncture has a beneficial impact on sperm formation and it increases the blood flow to the ovaries in women. Recent studies have also shown acupuncture increases the likelihood of successful IVF embryo transfer by 50%.
If You Are Trying To Lose Weight
When Do You Need Acupuncture Treatment?
Instead of relying on quick fads to lose weight, why not try a safe and natural method for weight loss? Acupuncture helps to promote weight loss by increasing the body metabolism, suppressing appetite and improves digestion. Good digestive system secrets enzymatic fluids that break down fat more effectively. Acupuncture suppresses appetite by stimulating the release of serotonin and beta-endorphins that regulates moods and prevents over-eating, while the stimulation of thyroid glands speeds up metabolism, allowing the body the burn more fat naturally.
If You Are Experiencing Hair Loss
When Do You Need Acupuncture Treatment?
Poor blood circulation around the scalp and hormonal imbalances are frequently the main factors behind hair loss. In restoring hormonal balance, the three organs linked to hair growth (kidneys, liver and spleen) must first be assessed to determine which organ is off balance. Next, acupuncture treatments along the hairline are recommended to correct the imbalances and restore balance to the scalp. Acupuncture also increases blood flow to the scalp that helps to stimulate the hair follicles to regrow hair.
TCM Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncture has a wide range of benefits, however, it is not a quick-fix solution to all health problems. Acupuncture results are gradual and cumulative, and works best when paired with a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
If you are interested to schedule an acupuncture session, Joyre TCMedi Spa offers TCM Acupuncture treatments for a variety of issues, ranging from general wellness to fertility, slimming and hair loss issues. Our in-house practitioners are professionally certified and will conduct a detailed consultation with you before performing the acupuncture treatments. Our practitioners may also recommend a combination of acupuncture with other Chinese herbs and TCM therapies for best results.

Sparkle and Shine
These are really cute pins that will quickly dress up any look. I ordered the blush set, but one was of poor quality (paint chipping off one stone, glue where another was poorly placed). Customer service is great, so I'm hoping for a replacement of the damaged pin. Other than that, they add just the right amount of shine without being over the top. They're great for a party or when you just need that little extra something to complete a look. They're not too heavy and they stay in my hair well.

The tiny state of Tripura, is the second smallest state of India. It is almost surrounded by Bangladesh, with a circuitous land link with India through Assam and Mizoram. Tripura was ruled for centuries by its own kings. The origins of the kingdom, is shrouded in the myths and chronicles of the Kings of Tripura, spanning Hindu mythologies and Tripuri folklores. In the 7 th century the Tripuri kings ruled from Kailashahar in North Tripura In the 14 th Century, the capital was shifted to Udaipur in South Tripura. This was their most glorious period and the power and fame of the Tripura rulers was even acknowledged by the Mughals, who were their contemporaries in North India. In 1871, after the British defeated the Mughals, the maharaja continued to rule the state under the tutelage of the British Rule. After India’s independence, the princely state of Tripura was merged with the Union of India in 1949.

Volkswagen’s electric dreams
VW's new E-Golf electric car.
Volkswagen has entered the electric car race with two production-ready models: the e-Golf and the e-Up.
The two new models use similar drivetrains, with the e-Golf’s basically just an up-scaled version with a more powerful motor and larger batteries. The 113bhp (85kW) electric motor in the Golf should provide a range of 118 miles, while the Up’s system generates 81bhp (60kW) and a 100-mile range.
VW has designed the drivetrains from scratch, producing them entirely in-house to maintain quality control and developmental freedom.
With the news of the electric duo’s arrival, Volkswagen claims that the e-Up sets an efficiency benchmark with 62 miles potentially costing less than £2.60; half what the same mileage would cost even in a very efficiently-driven petrol-powered Up. The same mileage in the e-Golf will cost around 10% more.
The technology involved should be familiar to anyone well acquainted with the Nissan Leaf or any of Renault’s electric Z.E. models, albeit with a rather more complex arrangement of driving modes.
Two principal options labelled Eco and Eco+ join four modes that offer enhanced braking regeneration from the motor: D1, D2, D3 and B. These are designed for use in differing traffic conditions and down hills, where the motor might be used as the main brake to recover as much energy as possible.
Direct current (DC) quick-charging is an option, with 80% of a full charge for the e-Golf coming up in around half an hour, in the same way as for the Leaf.
Prices and on-sale dates will be confirmed at or shortly after the Frankfurt Motor Show
The Golf Sportsvan features more spacious and flexible interior and advanced assistance systems. The base version offers such standard features as XDS+, Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, air conditioning, seven airbags, the new electronic parking brake, a 5-inch touchscreen, variable cargo floor and a cargo cover.
The Blind Spot Monitor incorporating Rear Traffic Alert is being implemented in a Golf for the first time. While driving, the this warns the driver of vehicles in the blind spot. When reversing out of a parking space, the system also recognises cross-traffic approaching from behind. If a collision is imminent, the system automatically activates an emergency braking function.

Negative half-moons
Hey there!
I promised you in my last post that I will show you a watermarble, but my boyfriend came home unexpectedly after five months of being away. So I hope you can understand why that watermarble didn't happen, even this manicure is from two weeks ago and as long as he's home I don't think I'll have the time to do nails or posts, there will be too much cuddling going around.
So there you have it, a manicure with two contrasting nail polishes and a negative space vs. half-moon. Yep, I've just combined one trend with another, this is what happens when the inspiration is playing hard to get. The purple nail polish is Farmasi #78 and it's a gorgeous one. It has shimmer in it and a silky finish. The appliance went so smoothly, streak free and it needs to coats to reach a nice coverage. It really is more beautiful in real like than here. On the accent finger I have Golden Rose, Jolly Jewels Collection #110.
So, what do you think, do these two nail polishes go well together, or is it just me?
Would you try this negative space + half moon? I find it really nice and interesting.
Let me know what you think in the comment box below!
With love, R.
1. Eiii...o sa ne suparam acum de numa' numa' ca nu ai facut WM. "Enjoy your man" :*
Iti spune sincer ca nu as fi combinat culorile astea...nici batuta :)) , DAR, exact cum spui si tu : arata superb impreuna. Felicitari pentru curaj :*
1. Multumesc pt cuvintele frumoase! ^_^
Aveam pofta de o combinatie de nuante mai neobisnuite si cum rosu merge cat de cat cu mov, m-am gandit ca nu voi da gres :p
2. Oja cu gliter Golden Rose arata fabulos!
Manichiura este superba!
3. Adorabila manichiura, cred ca noi avem rabdare sa -ti asteptam modele si postarile asa ca profita de timp si petreceti-l linistita alaturi de persoana iubita, te pup :}
Have a lovely day!

A woman can't be pure for 41 days: Priya Varrier on Sabarimala row
Upcoming actress Priya Prakash Varrier's debut movie 'Oru Adaar Love' is running in theatres and she was actively promoting the movie across three southern states since last month.
During one such promotional event, a Telugu website asked Priya about her stand on the ongoing Sabarimala row and how does she see the women's entry there to which the 19-year-old actress had a clear statement and view.
She said, “I think it's pretty meaningless. I have not thought much about the issue. If we have to fight for equality, we have to go a long way back and prioritise things before the Sabarimala tradition was set.It has been practised for so many years.”
She further added, “A devotee is supposed to take a 'vratham' for 41 days. Obviously, a woman can't do that. She can't be pure for 41 days and that is a hindrance in one's devotion to the Lord.”
On September 28 last year, a five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court, headed by then Chief Justice Dipak Misra, lifted the ban on entry of women of menstrual age into the shrine. Last month two women, Bindu and Kanakadurga created history by successfully completing their trek and worshipped the deity inside the Sabarimala temple.
Meanwhile, Priya seems to be happy with the response that her film is receiving. The actress took to social media and thanked everyone for the support. Directed by Omar Lulu, the film was released in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu on Friday.

A Grand Tour of LACMA
July 8, 2010
For a wealthy English aristocrat in the eighteenth century, a “Grand Tour” of Europe was part of a complete education. Now on view in our newly installed European galleries, we have a Pompeo Batoni portrait of English traveler Sir Wyndham Knatchbull-Wyndham commemorating just such a trip.
Pompeo Batoni, "Portrait of Sir Wyndham Knatchbull-Wyndham," 1758–1759, gift of the Ahmanson Foundation
Wyndham gestures to a landscape in the background that many grand tourists visited—the ruins of an ancient temple at Tivoli, near Rome. To his left, you can see a classical sculpture that he may have brought back from his travels.
The Grand Tour was a rite of passage, an opportunity to explore the roots of European culture, build language skills, and gain worldly experience. It might last months or years. Now that the new European galleries are open, it’s possible to take your own miniature Grand Tour through the museum and see works of art like those an eighteenth-century aristocrat might have traveled to see.
Let’s start in Rome.
"The Hope Athena," 2nd century AD, William Randolph Hearst Collection
This is Athena, the goddess of wisdom—the Romans also called her Minerva. We know who she is because of her helmet, and because here she wears a shield decorated with a head of Medusa, often associated with Athena. Statues like this were very popular with Grand Tourists. This Athena was created in ancient Rome, based on an even older Greek model. So when Grand Tourists saw this Athena, they were experiencing the combined skill of ancient Greece and Rome. The statue was excavated outside Rome in 1797—when lots of Grand Tourists were visiting—and it was acquired by Englishman Sir Thomas Hope, who had just recently completed his own Grand Tour.
"Canaletto Antonio Canal, Piazza San Marco Looking South and West," 1763, gift of the Ahmanson Foundation
The Grand Tourist would also have visited Venice. The European galleries include an excellent scene of Venice, Piazza San Marco Looking South and West, by Canaletto. In essence, it is a large and very expensive postcard, a souvenir that would hang on the wall as proof that you had been there. So many tourists brought views of Venice back to England that the popularity of visiting that city actually increased!
Antonio Montauti, The Triumph of Neptune and Europa, c. 1735–1740, purchased with funds provided by Anna Bing Arnold
Florence was part of a typical Grand Tour, and we have Antonio Montauti’s Triumph of Neptune and Europa from the early eighteenth century. This bronze relief sculpture depicts the ancient god Neptune along with Europa, daughter of a Phoenician king. Grand Tourists visited Florence to learn more about ancient myths and culture—which was, conveniently enough, being used as subject matter by many contemporary artists of the time. So the sights in Florence may have included works of art like this Montauti relief, though probably not this exact work, which was created for Pope Clement XII’s personal collection.
The Grand Tour eventually lost its cachet of exclusivity as the railroad and other transportation improvements made it much easier for middle-class people to travel throughout Europe. Today, you don’t even need to leave Los Angeles.

Romney email breach?
We linked earlier to a report on a possible hack of Mitt Romney's personal email, and Ginger Gibson now has confirmation from the campaign:
Mitt Romney's campaign is confirming the candidate’s personal email might have been hacked.
"The proper authorities are investigating this crime and we will have no further comment on it," said Gail Gitcho, campaign communications director.
Gawker reported earlier today that they were contacted by someone who claimed to have hacked into Romney's Hotmail account.
Gawker's source claimed to have broken into the email account after reading Romney's personal address in a Wall Street Journal report. The person said they also hacked into Romney's Drop Box account, a service that allows file sharing.
By answering a security question about Romney's favorite pet, the person claimed to change his password to both accounts. They didn't post any emails or images of the account. Gawker didn't identify the hacker.

Is it OK to run before surgery?
Is it safe to exercise before surgery?
People who have low activity levels can improve their fitness within as little as four weeks by taking regular exercise. This provides an opportunity for you to get fitter before your operation and improve your chances of a better and quicker recovery after surgery.
Can I run the day of surgery?
The patient is alerted to over-activity by pain in the scar, and as a result the advice given by most surgeons, for their own as much as the patient’s safety, is not to exercise for six weeks. Depending on the amount of pressure under which the scar is put, some people are able to exercise successfully earlier.
Why is exercise important before surgery?
Better fitness levels reduce complications when having an operation. This is because your body can cope better with the stress of the operation. In turn, this improves your chances of avoiding complications; allowing you to leave hospital and return to your normal quality of life more quickly.
IT IS INTERESTING: Best answer: How common is surgical sterilization?
What should I stop doing before surgery?
Do not smoke, eat, or drink anything, including water, candy, gum, mints and lozenges after midnight on the night before surgery.
• Do not shave your surgical area before your procedure.
Should I stretch before surgery?
Even a few days of gentle stretching and healthy meals prior to the procedure can increase your fortitude. Daniel Rooks, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, notes a pre-hab program increases functioning and decreases pain so you can undergo surgery in optimum shape.
What happens if you work out too soon after surgery?
In addition to the above, exercising too soon after surgery can make current side effects much worse, which means pronounced and prolonged pain, discomfort, bruising, and swelling. You may be slowing down the healing process by rushing back into your exercise routine.
How long before I can workout after surgery?
Depending upon your surgery you may have up wait up to 6 months before undertaking any rigorous exercise. Therefore, in the first couple of months, you might have to avoid sprinting, heavy lifting, and jumping, as strenuous exercises may actually slow the healing process and possibly cause injury.
Can you get a six pack after abdominal surgery?
Plastic surgeons have developed a new liposuction technique that creates chiseled abs. The procedure is targeted towards those who can’t achieve a toned torso with exercise and diet alone.
Can you do cardio before surgery?
Getting active before surgery will benefit most people. This is because your heart and lungs will have to work harder after an operation to help your body to heal. Regular exercise makes your heart and lungs stronger, so they’ll be in the best possible shape to help you heal.
IT IS INTERESTING: What technology do plastic surgeons use?
How do I get fit before surgery?
Moderate exercise before the operation is useful to strengthen muscles, to reduce breathing problems, to build up stamina and to reduce fatigue after the operation. It is recommended that you take some form of regular exercise every day.
Does being fit help you recover from surgery?
Generally speaking, good aerobic fitness (a strong heart and lungs) is helpful to recovery after surgery. Depending on your current fitness level and physical abilities, activities to increase aerobic fitness may include dancing, swimming or going for a brisk walk.
Should I shave my pubic area before surgery?
Do not shave or wax any area on your body for a week before surgery (legs, bikini, underarms, etc.). Shaving can nick the skin and increase the risk of wound infection. If hair needs to be removed, it will be done at the hospital.
Can I operate on myself?
Successful abdominal self-surgery is extremely rare. A few well-publicized cases have found their way into the medical literature. On February 15, 1921, Evan O’Neill Kane carried out his own appendectomy in an attempt to prove the efficacy of local anesthesia for such operations.
Can I use deodorant before surgery?
Bathing, creams, lotions, deodorants.
Please shower or bathe the night before your surgery. Your surgeon may request bathing with a special soap; please follow their instructions. Creams and lotions should not be worn on the day of surgery. A light application of deodorant is permissible.

eMarketer: $5.75 million for video ads on NBC's Olympics site
The millions spent really isn't that impressive, the market research firm says, when you look at how much is spent overall during the year.
The estimated $5.75 million in video ad spending on NBC's really isn't that impressive, market research firm eMarketer said Friday.
To put things into perspective, NBC's projected video ad spending for the year is $505 million, making the Olympics extravaganza only 1.1 percent of the total.
NBC's handling of digital Olympics coverage has been criticized. Network President Jeff Zucker has defended his decision to not air the opening ceremony live or to stream some of the more big-ticket events on the Web, choosing to restrict them instead to tape-delayed television.
Plus, as eMarketer pointed out, a partnership with Microsoft meant that prospective Olympics viewers were required to download its Silverlight software before watching any video of the Games, and required downloads typically mean fewer viewers.
"One might just award NBC's online presentation of the summer Olympics a bronze medal then," eMarketer analyst David Hallerman said in a release Friday. "As a signifier for future online events, the games set a high bar for the competition--establishing that major sports events, tournaments and professional leagues ought to offer an abundance of video content online, not just snippets."

How Important is Gut Instinct When Recruiting?
We all use our gut instinct every day – that subjective feeling that guides our decisions, whether it’s when considering a purchase, relationship or business deal it’s always there to silently guide you. I not only believe that gut instinct is necessary, I think it is crucial especially in Recruitment. Everything might stack up on a CV, and the candidate may even be saying everything to tick the boxes, but if you have that feeling in the bottom of your stomach that something is wrong, then steer clear. Even if the evidence is pointing to yes, trust your gut instinct.
I know quite a few people who would quite openly admit that they are not great decision makers, and they don’t always trust their instincts. I believe that not only is this something that develops over time as you learn and grow as a recruiter, but also something that can be given a helping hand. You are not going to generate much of a gut instinct from solely reading CVs. So think about using some of these methods:
Pick up the phone
A good starting point is to give the candidate a call and to speak with them on the phone. This can tell you a lot and is useful if you have a lot of applicants and will not have time to meet with all of them. It may be as simple as asking them to talk you through their CV and why they applied for the role.
Video call or face to face
The ideal scenario would be a face to face meeting/interview. This is the best way to get a real sense of the candidate as you can pick up on their verbal as well as non-verbal cues. Body language is hugely important in making a judgment on the suitability of a candidate for an organisation. However, face to face is not always possible or necessary when there are technologies such as Skype available. So if a face to face is not convenient, consider offering a video interview, or have a short one automated upon application. Having this gives you more information (including their body language, tone, presentation etc) on every applicant allowing your gut instincts to be more accurate with less time invested.
Psychometric profiling
We are advocates of psychometric profiling. Not the archaic tests that took hours to complete – but the more modern and sophisticated tests that give a fantastic insight into the individual’s personality. They are great for flagging particular personality traits and behaviours that may trigger that gut instinct and prompt further conversation in specific areas.
In Summary
Simply looking at a CV is not going to be sufficient if you want to be a successful recruiter. You would be doing your clients and your candidates a disservice. However, we are not saying that you can employ one of the methods above and trigger your gut instinct and make better decisions. What we are saying is that you need to use one or a combination of techniques that work for you. Taking to recruitment with this in mind will allow you to harness your emotional intuition and to make better and more informed decisions based on instinct as well as presented facts about an individual.

The Empathetic Job Description
How often can you say you’ve read a job description that seems flat?
All too often job descriptions look like a template that has been doing the rounds for at least a decade. It’s a convenient and quick option that can be tempting. Let’s say you need a Finance Manager; it’s easy just to do what you did the time before only most of the time you’re hoping for a different outcome. Both the company and the industry itself changes over time and the requirements for what makes a good candidate for a role changes with it. Cutting corners is like having a quick buck mentality, neither of them works in the long run. If anyone’s reading this thinking ‘it worked for me’… You could have done better!
In our last blog, we spoke about the importance of an empathic approach to candidate selection. The reality is, the need for empathy starts even earlier on when a Hiring Manager is trying to understand the needs of the business. Back to the prior point – that takes time so the easy option is taking the premade job description and advertising it. What happens when you change the approach and really took some time to understand the business, the culture and the team before writing it? Would this streamline the level of interest to the right applicants?
The unfortunate reality is there will always be situations where managers will feel they don’t have time to do this; they just need CVs now. The role of a good HR Manager or Recruiter is to show them that the value of understanding these, results in a more successful recruit long-term.
How can you create a better job description?
When creating a job description, it’s useful to have a pro forma in your mind of all of the key areas you want to discuss. Whether that’s with a recruiter, direct report or team member. These might include skills, educational background, personality traits, team fit and so on. In our experience, it has been practical to include directly affected team members to get a gut feel for personalities in the group. It is imperative to minimise the number of ‘must have’ expectations as this can rule out candidates who in reality could work out really well. I see this a lot, especially when the role is outsourced. There will always be some non-negotiables though either way, such as in the case of the Finance Manager where it might be an accountancy qualification.
For recruiters, the more vibrant the picture we can create in our mind, the easier it will be to know when we have found the right person for the business. This should lead to a condensed shortlist with less risk of Hiring Managers conducting interviews that are a waste of time for everyone. In our preferred methods, the recruiter’s role is as it should be – consultative and value adding – as opposed to pushing job specs and CVs from A to B.
This is an empathic approach to recruitment and applies to writing a job description, which is synonymous with having a strategic partnership with both clients and candidates. It takes more energy hiring in this way, but the outcome for both the candidate, client and recruiter is always worth it.

The Power of Gray
As human beings, we are typically highly empathetic towards others.
If we see someone struggling to cross a road, for example, most of us are falling over ourselves to help. However many of us lack this sense of empathy in our working lives, and I would argue this is particularly true in recruitment. Which got me thinking about how we got here, why it is so damaging for the industry, and how we can start to change it.
How we got into this mindset is quite easy to answer in my view. Imagine stepping back to a time before the internet, before the telephone, and even before the post. Individuals who were seeking work would approach the employer personally. I expect they would take some time to have a conversation that was worlds away from a list of bullet points on a piece of paper. I am guessing of course – but I imagine there are a higher richness and insight to that exchange. Even if the candidate was not the right person for the job, they probably had an opportunity to discuss their abilities, and where they would need training. It would have been a completely humanised experience – where dismissing somebody’s interest based on one small flaw would be unlikely.
As we have stepped into the digital era, every single step along the way seems to have depersonalised job searches that bit more.
We are now at a point where recruiters can be sifting through hundreds of online job applications in a week. That has quite understandably led to a level of fatigue with the process – candidates who have no relevant experience applying for roles. We are left with a Tinder-style situation where unless a candidate fits the spec explicitly, they are quickly and quite mindlessly ‘swiped to the left’. Surely we are missing some of the best candidates, who perhaps don’t tick every box, but would thrive and excel if given the opportunity to interview.
The high volume of candidate applications paired with an increasingly burdensome workload has made many of us lose our empathy. We busily sort candidates into yes and no, black and white, the binary. Anybody that falls into the grey is more often than not swept up in the NO pile. Why? Because it would involve some consideration and time to pick up the phone and discuss suitability with the candidate – to work out if the grey is an opportunity. When we dismiss those candidates in the middle, we are not only doing them a disservice, but we are also letting down our clients. Because of course, we all know how important employee diversity is for well-functioning teams, and organisational innovation.
You might be wondering where the time is going to come from to be ‘empathetic’ – because it will take more physical and emotional effort. It will come from the places where you can spare it when you realise the benefits of changing the way you approach your candidate search. That is of course not a straightforward answer, but I am confident it is one you will have no issue with when you experience the positive impact of Empathic Recruitment℠.

Contingency: Why it just Doesn’t Work in Recruitment…Anymore
Why Contingency in Recruitment Worked
When the recruitment industry boomed, the best model to ensure you get the best candidates was always a multi-agency and contingency-based approach. The more agencies you had on board, the more connections you could reach out to via these 3rd parties. Each recruiter had their personal networks, and that’s still true. I have a vast network of IT project managers in Bristol. However, times and technology have changed. When any of my contacts find themselves looking for work, they will contact me, but will also be available on social media or easy to find online through job boards.
The Problem with Modern Contingency Strategies
As soon as anyone applies for one job on any of the available boards, every recruiter with access to it can find you. Social Media is another platform that’s use has grown exponentially for recruiters. You can let anyone who stumbles across your profile by searching using key skills know that you are available. LinkedIn will actually market your profile if you click on the option saying you’re open to opportunities!
When you have multiple agencies working against each other is not a case of widening the net anymore. You create duplicated efforts raising the price of recruitment. If a recruiter fills one in five roles that they work, they have to charge a lot more for the positions they do end up filling. Exclusivity is a simple concept but contingency is so embedded as the way work with agencies. That’s because before the internet and its services were available, it was! The average fill rate for the biggest agencies all of which tend to work on a contingency-based model fills one in five of the roles they work on. I know, I’ve worked for them.
The Best Recruitment Model
The terms of businesses I’ve made work so the fee is directly in the proportion of how committed a client is. The way business should be! Based on this, I have technology that allows me to simultaneously search every job board and certain social media sites through my own portal. It collates and prioritises the results from each in order of suitability into my platform allowing quick online resourcing. A consolidation of the entire online market in one search, and that’s nearly everyone nowadays!
It also worth mentioning this: If you were looking for opportunities, and there are two jobs of interest, one being advertised by four agencies, the other directly through one, which one would you be more interested in? The assumptions that can come with multiple agencies being on board are generally damaging to your companies profile. Its best to find a good recruiter, be loyal and save yourself some money for a better service. No duplication, no high costs, an absolute no-brainer!

Recruiter & Client Failures and How to Fix Them
External Communication can be Tough
Whether you’re a Recruiter or a Hiring Manager using one, it’s all too common there can be issues in communication or understanding. Sometimes both can feel like one isn’t listening to the other. There’s a variety of factors that can cause this. A good example though is the way agencies pay consultants which can be seen as giving ulterior motives to exaggerate a candidates capabilities. This is an excellent example of how trust can quickly be lost before you’ve even started. More often than not, a recruiter will spend weeks to search, screen and select suitable candidates to fill positions within their clients business.
The expectation to get candidate profiles right can be from a conversation that went along the lines of “I need a Senior Systems Engineer, someone who has, X, Y, Z and I need them to start yesterday. You’ll receive a job description that pops up in your email, and you’re away. This can often be an old job description, with a list of qualities involved in every day working in the position. Many could be picked up very quickly in reality, but it’s something about paper that makes them essential!
Initially, the quicker approach seems to be the better. It’s also where the large and often expensive mistake happens; the unsuitable hire leaving a three-month gap further down the line. Not to mention the time wasted on getting them up to speed with their role.
As a recruiter, you are always left with questions after reading a job description. Why is the position available? Is there room to progress? What plans do the company have and what’s the working environment like? What I’m trying to say is, recruiters, perform better with a more extensive briefing.
How can we improve the involvement of Recruiters in the hiring process?
Because every role and the environment it’s in is forever changing, the only way to achieve maximum results is to start from scratch. Make a new job description together formed from a consultative conversation with an experienced recruiter. Create a collaborative set of questions to ask based on your newly formed job description. This doesn’t just make the most of every conversation, ensuring well-thought topics are all covered; it also creates a structure cutting out any unintentional bias.
You can speed up this process and screen a considerable number of candidates automatically giving a brief insight into the personality too. Video recruitment allows candidates to create video-based applications answering the set questions made for the role. Both Recruiter and Manager can review each application leaving comments including an overall rating. Candidates can instantly give a first personal impression without having to take time off and travel to interviews too.
Have you ever been in or conducted an interview you knew was a waste of time within the first 5 minutes? Not anymore!

Biggest Recruitment Process Change in 2018
There’s a lot of speculation about the best recruitment process to attract and recognise talent in the recruitment industry. One of the most notable trends for 2018 though has been to incorporate video recruitment. It’s a big change but it helps businesses and candidates stand out from the crowd. Most importantly, it finds the right person for any particular role.
Every position with the same title will have variations in the skills required. 100% of these will involve different people and business cultures. Being able to distinguish these traits and match accordingly is essential for companies wanting to stay ahead.
Advantages of Video Recruitment
For me, the most significant advantage this technology brings is the ability to automate questioning within an application. Candidates can answer questions via the video platform during applying or in their own time. This extra information gives you a snapshot of their character and social capabilities. It also helps to envisage whether they would fit into the team, not a just a job description. Hiring Managers don’t get the same information with paper-based applications and second guess who they interview. When you are shortlisting and have five equally good CV’s but only have three interview slots available, this prevents wasted interviews. It also makes choosing who to interview a whole lot easier.
All of this may sound a bit one-sided from a candidates perspective, but the truth is it works both ways and makes life easier for both parties. If you’re the candidate and get invited for an interview, getting the time off work, the travelling required, finding parking and all the other inconveniences feel huge when you arrive and either they don’t like you or vice versa (you usually know in the first 5 minutes). Wouldn’t it be easier to find out in 5 minutes in the comfort of your own home? It’s a welcomed change in the recruitment process for me!

Hire without Bias using Video Recruitment
How Does the Current Recruitment Model Promote Biased Selection?
When Employers or Recruiters shortlist applications, they can sometimes be unintentionally biased or unfair. Assumptions made when reading someone’s CV can often be the cause of this. The problem is we can all be unintentionally biased, especially when hiring as it’s a part of human nature.
The less information we have to make decisions, the more of these judgements we’re likely to make. Bias views happen subconsciously most of the time. We’re designed to respond to trends and can be affected by almost anything. This is how ‘stereotypes’ that you find in society are created. Many surveys done say that job seekers consider hiring processes biased for this exact reason. I’ve heard “They said I was over-qualified but they don’t know my situation” too many times.
Video Recruitment Benefits
Video recruitment used properly gives more information and is more transparent. It helps de-bias the opinions made when looking at the paper version of a candidate. It’s also a great way of reminding yourself of candidate’s responses. Video interviews can be replayed to multiple staff members giving you time to analyse along with as many professional opinions as you need. Integrating the team in the process will decrease the chance of any turbulent new hires.
Modern interviews can be unstructured, making candidates more likely to be subject to an unfair process. Candidates can use our automated video application, where they’re asked the same questions in the same order, in the same environment. This creates an equal and accurate experience for everyone. You’re still going to meet these people too. It just gives you more information to decide on who to meet.
Video Recruitment combined and AI provides great ways to identify the best candidates.
We can use algorithms to assess human qualities bypassing assumptions we all fall victim to. The outcome is predicting the right person for each specific position in the business.
Click here to speak with us about our recruitment method.
We are all capable of being unconsciously biased in all areas of life. We make this mistake less often with more information we have though. Using technology can provide a more accurate and fair judgment as well as a better experience for candidates – are your hiring practices up to date?

Last-ditch bid to save brother
Click to follow
The Evening Standard
The brother of a British national facing the death penalty on legally questionable grounds staged a last-ditch protest in the hope that Pakistan's visiting president General Pervez Musharraf will intervene.
Amjad Hussain's brother Mirza is due to die at dawn in Pakistan on October 1 despite having had a murder conviction quashed. His only hope is Gen Musharraf stepping in.
As Gen Musharraf was due to attend the Oxford Union to deliver a speech on modern-day Pakistan, Mr Hussain protested outside with members of the human rights group Amnesty International.
Mr Hussain said: "This is an 11th hour protest for President Musharraf to step in and stop an innocent man going to the gallows.
"The whole world is watching this. This is a chance for the President to show he is a progressive, modern leader. I'm sure he will not let us down."
He said his brother had been in jail in Pakistan for 18 years and had "lost the prime of his youth behind bars" for a crime he has been cleared of.
Mirza Hussain, a former Territorial Army soldier from Leeds, was accused of killing a taxi driver who he claimed tried to sexually assault him at gunpoint in 1988.
He was acquitted by the Lahore High Court, and then convicted again by Pakistan's Federal Sharia Court.
The case has been described as "riddled with discrepancies" and Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett has appealed to President Musharraf to halt the execution.
Amjad Hussain added: "President Musharraf has the power to intervene. He needs to exercise this power and he needs to act fast."

ETNZ may as well have capsized of course
… it wouldn’t have changed the result.
But these cheese eating surrender monkeys didn’t even do it during a race. They were just training
Here is again, but from the inside
• thor42
It didn’t seem to have a “tramp” between the hulls. If it had, there may well have been just enough time for someone to rush out towards the starboard hull, adding his weight there and getting the hull back down again.
• Hobie cats were so much fun, used to capsize them on purpose when taking a newbie out
• Rat
what is bizzare is that the author took the piss out of the so called “cheese eating surrender monkeys” (obviously forgetting the First World War,) and the capsize.
maybe the author is too batshit stupid to point out this…
and guess who they beat ?

Stop using so many adjectives in your marketing
If you look at a sentence that describes something with an adjective “it was very hot outside”
It’s much more vague than one that uses specific data “it was 102 degrees outside”
The first is much more vague than the second. When you are vague in your marketing messaging it can impact how your customer thinks about you in a number of ways
You look like you are hiding something, that you don’t know what you are talking about or potentially that your product or service doesn’t really solve their problem
So with your messaging get as specific as possible around how you help your target customers overcome their problem and use data to back this up where possible
Two caveats don’t use too much data, make sure it’s simple enough to understand at a quick glance or scan and that it isn’t a misleading which would erode trust in your brand

Israeli ‘Document’ on the Netanyahu-Barak Plan to Attack Iran ‘Leaked’
The American presidential election is just two months away, and speculation is rife on whether Israel is about to attack Iran. In a BBC interview, American journalist and blogger on Israeli affairs, Richard Silverstein, says that he has been given a leaked document which outlines a plan for an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Silverstein describes the document as a briefing memo that is being used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to show ministers that an attack on Iran would go ‘smoothly’ and wipe out key infrastructure with a minimum of Israeli casualties. It reflects what is well known about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak – both are overly optimistic about Israel’s military capabilities and grossly underestimate Iran’s capacity to respond to an attack. Silverstein says the document was leaked by an officer in the army, senior members of which oppose attacking Iran. According to Silverstein, the officer received the document from someone who was a senior minister in a previous Israeli government. The ‘document does not mention any possible Iranian response’ to an attack.
The document is described as Netanyahu’s ‘sales pitch’ to persuade the doubters in the cabinet and others in the top Israeli hierarchy. Its existence so close to the U.S. presidential election in November is significant. For President Barack Obama and the Republican candidate Mitt Romney are running neck-and-neck in the opinion polls. Obama is reluctant to attack Iran, Romney is openly supportive of the idea.
The revelation will likely add tension between the White House and the Israeli Prime Minister’s office, and raises more important questions. Is the aim to further pressure Obama to change his mind, lest he may lose Jewish votes in November? Or is it to threaten the president with the prospect of defeat and help a Romney victory?

Wayne Dundon goes on trial for Limerick murder of Roy Collins
Dundon and Nathan Killeen charged with murder at Roxboro shopping centre in 2009

Fri, May 2, 2014, 00:57
Two Limerick men have gone on trial at the Special Criminal Court charged with murdering businessman Roy Collins in the city five years ago.
Wayne Dundon (35), of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, and Nathan Killeen (23) of Hyde Road, Prospect, are charged with murdering the 35-year-old at Coin Castle Amusements, Roxboro Road Shopping Centre on April 9th, 2009.
They were arraigned before the non-jury court today and pleaded not guilty.
The three judges heard that Mr Collins was at work around noon that day when a single gunman entered his amusement arcade and discharged a single shot, hitting him in the chest. He was conscious for a time, but his life could not be saved.
Prosecutor Michael O’Higgins SC said in his opening speech that Wayne Dundon had directed the murder from prison, Nathan Killeen was the getaway driver and another man, James Dillon, was the gunman.
He said there was evidence that, shortly beforehand, Nathan Killeen was in Roxboro Road Shopping Centre, where the deceased owned his arcade and his father, Stephen Collins, owned a pub. He said the court would hear evidence that in the aftermath of the killing, detectives spotted two youths who they believed were the accused men nearby. When the detectives called them, they took flight and one climbed over a wall. A house was then surrounded and Nathan Killeen was found in an attic and arrested.
However, Mr O’Higgins said that the “meat of the case” was to be found in the evidence of five witnesses who were associates of the accused men. These were siblings Gareth Collins aka Keogh, Lisa Collins and April Collins, along with Christopher McCarthy and Anthony McCarthy, who were cousins of the Dundons.
Mr O’Higgins outlined how the five witnesses were connected to the accused and said that some of the associations could be described as criminal. He said that Gareth Collins Keogh would give evidence that in March 2009, Nathan Killeen offered him money to drive a car.
Keogh would say that he turned down the offer when Killeen mentioned “the pub up the road”. Keogh would say that Killeen then put him on the phone to Wayne Dundon, who offered him €20,000 and drugs to drive the car. Keogh again refused. The witness would say that Killeen explained that they were planning to “whack” Stephen Collins, that the firearm was already in position and that they were waiting for a car.
Keogh would testify that Killeen later told him that a black, top-of-the-range Mercedes had been prepared. He would testify that, on the morning of the murder, Killeen and James Dillon arrived at his door and that it was indicated that the murder was about to happen. However, he again said no and Killeen roared that everything was sorted.
Keogh would say that Killeen complained on the phone to Wayne Dundon that Keogh would not do it and passed the phone to him, with Dundon telling him that it was a simple, two-minute job.
Mr O’Higgins said that various threats were made, but that Keogh stood his ground. Keogh would say that the two men returned later and that Killeen asked him to make a petrol bomb, but Keogh declined. The witness would say that Killeen then made it himself and handed it to James Dillon.
The witness would say that he later saw black smoke and contended it was the Mercedes being burnt out. He later saw detectives pursuing Killeen and Dillon and that Killeen hopped a wall. He then saw them being led away in handcuffs.
Mr O’Higgins next outlined the evidence of Anthony “Noddy” McCarthy, who was in custody in Wheatfield prison at the time of the murder. McCarthy is currently serving a life sentence for murdering Kieran Keane, he added. Wayne Dundon was also in custody in the prison at the time and McCarthy would say that he could hear him shouting across the hall.
He saw Dundon on the phone and described him as hyper, saying: “You better do it for us. You never do nothing for our family. You and your mother will be sorry.”
McCarthy would say he asked what it was about and that Dundon replied that he was speaking to their cousin, James Dillon, and that he wanted him to “do Collins”. He would say that Dundon added: “That f***ing muppet, Gareth Collins, wouldn’t drive the car either.”
Mr O’Higgins said that if the court accepted the evidence of the witnesses, it would be satisfied that Wayne Dundon was part of a joint enterprise, was the organiser, designer and a legal participant. He said that, along with witness evidence, there was also strong circumstantial evidence in respect of Nathan Killeen. “The seminal issue is whether the accused are involved,” he concluded.
Ms Justice Iseult O’Malley, presiding, adjourned proceedings until Tuesday, when Gareth Collins Keogh is due to give evidence.
The four-week trial before Ms Justice O’Malley, Judge Margaret Heneghan and Judge Ann Ryan is the first to be heard by three female judges.

328P timing problem I2C Clock 200Khz?
I have an Arduino Duemilanove (with ATMega328P), and I also have an I2C device to interface with, the MD25 motor controller from Devantech.
This interface was running fine until a couple of days ago when I belive I burnt out the data line (SDA) on my arduino 328 chip (dont know how). The clock line was still pumping out a solid 100Khz clock, verified with my oscilliscope. but nothing on the dataline, so I assumed the ATMega328 is not very well.
I ordered a new ATMega 328P-PU from the same supplier as the board with the bootloader preloaded as I do not have an ICSP programmer. Putting the exact same Arduino Sketch that was working perfectly with my old 328 give me an exact 200Khz clock on SCL!! Needless to say the I2C interface does not work.
The only other thread I could find about this was one regarding Serial data being sent twice as fast. (Which i tried to link but I need more messages).
My board has a 16MHz crystal, and it worked perfectly with my old chip, I thought that maybe my chip is an 8Mhz and this is getting its speed doubled? I ruled this out when I tried timing some pin HIGH/LOWs with delays of 500ms, it clocks correctly at 500ms on my oscilliscope.
I am left with the problem being timing and I2C related, the chips are exactly the same apart from a four digit number (0910 and 0927) are these the batch numbers?
I have been stuck with this for a couple of days so would really appreciate any ideas you guys could think of?
Many Thanks!
Print out the contents of register TWBR. It should be 72 for a 16 MHz board running a 100KHz I2C.
If it's not then you can set about finding out why not. That's the approach I took to track down the cause of the serial problem.
Thank you for your response. Unless I am doing something wrong my TWBR register is returning 0.
I assume this is all that is required?
byte theRegister = TWBR; Serial.println(a, HEX);
I have tried this on both chips, both return 0.
I try writing 72 to this register, however it has no effect. I really dont know what is going on here...
EDIT: digitalWrite(4, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(4, LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(4, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(4, LOW); delay(500); digitalWrite(4, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(4, LOW);
Above delays give me exactly 500ms delays between HIGH/LOW on my scope.
According to the datasheet.
SCL Frequency = CPU Frequency / ( (16 + (2*TWBR)) * TWSR)
So... currently my TWSR is 0xF8, which is 11111000, or, a prescaler value of 1. My TWBR is giving me 0, and my chip SHOULD be 16mhz (at least the crystal is) so...
SCL Frequency = 16000000 / ( (16 + (2*0)) * 1 ) http://www05.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(16Mhz+%2F+(+(16+%2B+(2*0))+*+1))+in+KHz SCL Frequency = 1000Khz, much too fast.
SCL Frequency = 16000000 / ( (16 + (2*72)) * 1 ) http://www05.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(16Mhz+%2F+(+(16+%2B+(2*72))+*+1))+in+KHz SCL Frequency = 100Khz, perfect...
I have tried writing 72 to the TWBR but no joy, can you suggest how I can get this value to stick/take effect?
Edit: My first chip giving me 100Khz is right... but reading the TWBR of that is giving me 0. Which makes me think writing TWBR will do nothing. I cant seem to find the code for the TWI library? Would there be anything in their to help?
Bit of a wild goose chase that TWBR. I was stupidly checking it/writing it before i called Wire.begin();
Here is the call from twi_init which is called by Wire.begin() to set TWBR. TWBR = ((CPU_FREQ / TWI_FREQ) - 16) / 2;
Checking TWBR after this occurs gives me the magic 72! Only this happens on both chips, the new one is still giving me the wrong clock of 200Khz. Argh :-?
Okay… Ignoring the fact that this is totally wrong, setting 152 as the TWBR value would give me a value of 50Khz. Infact after checking with a scope it gives me my desired frequency of 100Khz, so something is definatly wrong with I2C here.
I decided to push on as I’d got a 100Khz clock and try and push some data though… i think my data is very off. I dont know how long a pulse takes on the dataline, but most of them on my scope are 20us, I would assume they should be very close to 10us for the clock to work? (The clock being 10us??)
Anyone know better than I why i have to increase my TWBR to get 100Khz?
In order to get the right TWI baudrate, you will also need to configure the prescaler as follows.
cbi(TWSR, TWPS0);
cbi(TWSR, TWPS1);
So to check the configuration, you need to print both the TWSR and TWBR registers.
TWSP0 is bit0 and TWSP1 is bit1 of TWSR. Both are 0 which selects "1" as prescaler.
The formula for determining TWI clock frequency is as follows:
SCL freq = CPU freq / (16 +2 * TWBR * Prescaler)
E.g. SCL = 16MHz / (16 + 2 * 72 * 1) = 100kHz
Suppose the prescaler is not set to 1 the next available option is 4, which to me doesn't explain OPs situation.
Thank you, my prescaler is set to 1. Or (TWSR = 11111000).
Having set TWBR to 152 I now get a 100Khz pulse on the Clock Line.
My data appears to be correct, checking on my oscilliscope I see the data bits I expect (7 bit address, write bit, ACK bit).
The ACK bit is getting pulled down for my EEPROM but not for my motor controller... which makes me think I bust the motor controller at the same time as my original chip =(
Thanks for the help though. I will ring my supplier in the morning to see if they have any ideas. I really cant make head nor tale of the clock problem cause the data appears to be right!!
You may want to double/triple check your wiring - things to check include:
• Use short wires for SCL/SDA (at least for testing)
• Use external pullups (close to the 328) both for SCL and SDA (4.7k)
• Remember common ground to anything you interface.
• Are logic levels the same (3.3 vs. 5)
• Is the CPU firmly seated in its socket (check for bent pins)
• Check for solder droplets (e.g. socket, CPU pins, other)
• Check for small wiring fragments left on the board (e.g. stuck in the socket).
Thank you for your suggestions.
I am using very short wires to test this, I was using 1k resistors with it working fine, I switched to 4.7k resistors as you suggested with no effect. All my logic is running at 5v and all grounds have been checked.
I know (think) the first chips SDA is broken because it reads 0v at all time when it should be 5v whilst no data is being carried on it. (And you see no data whilst some is being sent in code).
Checking the SDA line of the second chip with the hacked TWRB to 152 shows clean data, the address the read/write flag, except the ACK is not pull down as it should be by the motor controller. Needless to say no data is returned.
All this worked a couple of days ago until nothing would work, I must have burned out my 328, which is why I bought the second 328 (which clocked at 200Khz), I can only assume I have done the same to the controller? :’(
Not understanding why things go wrong in the first place - sure is frustrating as you may have yet another faulty CPU or more (sorry to even suggest this).
One thing I noticed from the MD25 spec. is that it is designed to be powered from a battery (e.g. 12V led acid). Without a battery in the circuit, there is potential risk with inductive loads (e.g. motors) sourcing back power spikes onto your power rails when breaking. You may want to consider this if it is applicable for your test environment.
Thank you, i'm not sure if the induction was an issue in the burning out of my lines. I am using a 12v power transformer in place of a battery whilst testing. I will in future use a diode from this to my motor controller. I am powering the arduino off the USB power, and the motor controller (with no motors at the moment) off the transformer, with joined grounds, this should help seperate the inductive load from the Arduino?
I am currently waiting on a reply from my chip supplier, I will either get them to replace the chip or fix the issue. If i get a chip which comes brand new and gives me my 100Khz clock and the MD25 is still not responding I can only assume I have blown that also.
Thank you for your help.
As long as a motor is not connected, inductive loads would not materialize and explain the issues with burmed out chips.
When you operate a motor (power the rotor windings) this will transform into torque and movement, but when you remove power the opposite is true. The motor inertia will keep the rotor turning for a short while and induct electricty (high current) that may appear on your power rails (depends on the motor controller design). When a battery is the power source, this is not so much an issue as it will act as a gigantic capacitor absorbing the reverse power (it may even be desired as the battery could recharge from this current). When powered by a switch mode power supply with shared logic ground however, the reverse power may cause harm to logic connected to the controller and also the controller itself.
The issue with inductive reverse loads is not something a motor controller designer would forget or ignore as it is fundamental to deal with this properly. If a controller is designed specifically for battery power however it may not work well with switch mode power supplies. Yoy may want to seek advice from the motor controller supplier/manufacturer if you plan to operate the final design from a switch mode supply rather than a battery. Asking the supplier is good as that they can be made accountable for their advice.
I hope you find the cause of your issues and share your gained wisdom with the forum.
Hi !
You seem to be able to operate the MD25 with Arduino ! This is what i am still struggling with...
Can you help me with an example sketch ?
I was only able to find one for the MD23, but it's not compatible with the MD25 !
Thank you !
Sorry for the super late reply, I found out that my MD25 was broken so I sent it back and got a replacement.
I used the MD23 code that someone had posted online, you probably have the same code.
I think I did have to change this code to get the encoders to read right.
long MD23::getEncoder1()
// read a 32bit long value containing the encoder reading.
// the reading of the highest byte capture the value.
long first = readRegisterByte(ENC_1_A_REGISTER);
return (first << 24) ^
(((long)readRegisterByte(ENC_1_A_REGISTER+1)) << 16) ^
(((long)readRegisterByte(ENC_1_A_REGISTER+2)) << 8) ^
(((long)readRegisterByte(ENC_1_A_REGISTER+3)) );
long MD23::getEncoder2()
// read a 32bit long value containing the encoder reading.
// the reading of the highest byte capture the value.
long first = readRegisterByte(ENC_2_A_REGISTER);
return (first << 24) ^
(((long)readRegisterByte(ENC_2_A_REGISTER+1)) << 16) ^
(((long)readRegisterByte(ENC_2_A_REGISTER+2)) << 8) ^
(((long)readRegisterByte(ENC_2_A_REGISTER+3)) );
Now however I’ve got the same problem, so I think my MD25 is broken again… Its not a very reliable board!! I’m looking for another board to drive the motors, as they seem reliable. Basically all you need is a H-Bridge and some way of reading the encoders. Basically quadrature with A+B pulses… I’m still looking into this…
Can anyone recommend a good motor/driver combo that doesnt break so easily?? But has encoders built in.

The Bengals took an aggressive approach to Day 3
New, comments
While trading up twice in the fourth round is not exactly headline news, it is a big step for this franchise.
Wake Forest v North Carolina State Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Images
The Bengals have historically taken a somewhat conservative approach to the draft. They generally hold most of their picks and take the players that come to them. This has hurt them at times when players they want go just before their pick, but they preferred to make all of their selections rather than use those picks to move up.
Trading back, is nothing new. Just last season they traded back in first round to add Cordy Glenn and traded back in the second round, knowing they could improve their third round pick while still acquiring Jessie Bates III.
However, prior to this year, the Bengals had only traded up four times. In the 2019 NFL Draft, the Bengals traded up twice. The first time came at the beginning of Day 3. As most Bengals fans casually turned on the draft, thinking their team would not be selecting for another hour, Zac Taylor has his eyes his coveted quarterback.
The Bengals moved up to the second pick in the fourth round to acquire Ryan Finley from North Carolina State. Regardless of what you think of the pick, you have to admire the Bengals’ willingness to aggressively pursue the guy they wanted.
The Bengals had a second pick in the round that they had acquired by trading back in Round 2, but after that pick, they traded back into the round to selected Ohio State center/guard Michael Jordan.
People will say “yeah, but these are fourth-round picks, big deal.”
Yes, trading up in the second round to acquire the slipping Jawaan Taylor would have been much more exciting, but that is not the point. The point is that a franchise that had only traded up in the draft four times in its history, did it twice in one draft.
This means that making a coaching change was not just a gesture. Things are actually going to be different in Cincinnati. And that is encouraging.

By Eric Goldman, Professor of Law, Santa Clara University School of Law, California, and Gabriella E. Ziccarelli, Technology and IP attorney, Washington, DC, USA
*This article is based on a longer forthcoming paper by Prof. Goldman called Emojis and the Law.
Everyone loves emojis, and why not? They are a fun and an increasingly ubiquitous way for people to express themselves. But despite their superficial frivolity, emojis can raise potentially complex and serious legal issues, including novel and complicated questions about intellectual property (IP). This article surveys how United States IP law protects emojis, and why such protection may be problematic.

What are emojis?
Emojis are small icons that people include in electronic communications to express an idea or an emotion. Emojis play a variety of communicative roles: they can function as a word substitute, a word complement (like the emphasis provided by an exclamation mark), an emotional signal, and more. Although most emojis are static images, they can be animated. Emojis were preceded by emoticons – icons comprised of keyboard characters such as the “smiley,” i.e., the keyboard characters :-). Emojis are subject to a wider range of depictions than emoticons because they can be literally anything, while emoticons are limited to keyboard characters.
Emojis can be divided into two categories: Unicode-defined emojis and proprietary emojis.
Unicode-defined emojis. The Unicode Consortium establishes standards for keyboard characters and, more recently, emojis. Unicode has assigned a unique number, a black-and-white shape outline and a short description to nearly 2,000 emojis. The Unicode standards enable emojis to be recognized across platforms. If both the sender’s and recipient’s platforms adopt a Unicode-defined emoji, a sender can send an emoji symbol that recipients on other platforms can recognize.
Despite the Unicode’s veneer of standardization, the emojis seen by users are not truly standardized because each platform implements Unicode-defined emojis differently. For example, some platforms adopt “house styles,” such as Google’s “blob”-shaped outlines (instead of the more typical circular shapes) for emojis depicting faces (what we call “face emojis”). Other platforms implement Unicode-defined emojis in strange or quirky ways, such as Apple’s depiction of the Unicode-defined pistol emoji as a neon green water gun. And even where platforms try to adhere to Unicode’s definitions, the way they each implement emojis still varies. For example, platforms have placed the cheese in the burger emoji in different locations – some above the burger, others below. Thus, virtually all implementations of the Unicode-defined emojis look different from each other, at least slightly.
Proprietary emojis. Platforms can also implement emojis that work only on their platforms. We call these “proprietary emojis” (other names include “stickers”). Even when proprietary emojis have similar designs to Unicode-defined emojis, they will not share the Unicode-defined numerical value for those emojis. Accordingly, when a proprietary emoji is sent outside the platform, it typically appears as a symbol such as a blank square indicating that the recipient platform did not recognize the character.
Unicode does not adopt emojis covered by third-party intellectual property, such as trademarked logos or copyrighted designs. However, these may be produced by platforms or individuals as proprietary emojis. Examples of “branded emojis” include Twitter hashtag-triggered emojis (such as NFL emoji hashtags for game day) and celebrity emoji sets like Kim Kardashian’s “Kimoji.”
Copyright considerations
Copyright may protect individual emojis, emoji sets and “house styles.”
Individual emojis. Individual emojis, whether proprietary or platform-implemented Unicode-defined, are presumptively copyrightable as graphical images. Nevertheless, most individual emojis will not receive copyright protection for at least three reasons.
(Photo: Clint Physter / CC BY-SA 4.0).
First, some emojis are so simple that they do not have enough expression to constitute a work of authorship. Also, some emoji designs are so venerable that they are not original.
Second, emojis are subject to the merger doctrine, which eliminates copyright protection when an idea can be expressed only in a limited number of ways, and scènes à faire, which eliminates copyright protection for details that, in context, are common or expected. There are only so many ways to express certain emojis, especially because emojis’ small size makes it hard to depict many details. Also, emojis seek to communicate their ideas as universally as possible. To do so, the details of many emojis invoke standard cultural references associated with an emoji’s meaning, raising the odds that the details will be scènes à faire. Furthermore, emojis have developed some conventions, such as depicting face emojis in bright yellow, which are now likely scènes à faire.
Third, though Unicode’s IP policy is not crystal clear, Unicode likely either disclaims ownership or freely grants unrestricted usage of its emoji definitions. Platform-specific implementations of Unicode-defined emojis are based on the Unicode outlines, so most implementations should be derivative works of Unicode’s definitions. However, some platform implementations, for example, Apple’s water gun depiction of the pistol emoji, vary so significantly from Unicode’s definition that they are not derivative works. For those emojis that qualify as derivative works, the platforms can only claim copyright for their incremental changes to the Unicode outline, which might be so inconsequential that they do not qualify for separate copyright protection.
In contrast, some proprietary emojis reflect significant creative judgments, in which case they will be better positioned to obtain copyright protection. Branded emojis may also be copyrightable when the source image is itself protected by copyright.
Even if an individual emoji qualifies for copyright protection, its scope of protection may be quite narrow. For example, many courts in the United States will apply the fair use defense broadly to authorize non-identical emoji implementations, and even identical depictions could qualify as fair use. Despite the graphical depictions of emojis, courts might feel like copyright law should not reach so deeply into how humans communicate.
We believe the fact that copyright might protect individual emojis has spurred platforms to create their own version of the same emojis. Does the world really need hundreds of slightly different emoji implementations of the smiley? No, but copyright law may motivate platforms to proliferate variations nonetheless.
To reduce exposure to copyright or trademark infringement, many
platforms are creating their own version of the same emojis. To avoid
a proliferation of emojis, those responsible for regulating IP need
to be circumspect in determining the scope of IP protection for

Emoji sets. Emoji sets are collections of individual emojis. The sets may qualify for compilation copyrights if they have sufficiently original selection, arrangement and coordination.
House styles. House styles represent standard design choices implemented across an emoji set, such as the Google blob shape or a uniform non-yellow color for face emojis. A house style could provide the basis of compilation copyrights in emoji sets, and applying the style to individual emojis might help make those emojis copyrightable (or qualify as a derivative work, if they are a variation of the Unicode standard). House styles also could be part of a platform’s trade dress.
Trademark considerations
But where emojis do not qualify for copyright protection, as outlined above, and when they distinguish goods and services in the marketplace, they can be protected as trademarks. In such instances, multiple parties could have coexisting trademark rights in the same emoji symbols for different classes of goods. We believe that hundreds of emojis, or emoji-like symbols, have been registered as trademarks.
However, the “use in commerce” requirement for trademark protection may prevent trademark protection for many emojis. For example, platforms typically do not make a “use in commerce” by providing free emoji sets that users can incorporate into messages. Also, where an emoji is used for its dictionary meaning (e.g., Bob’s Car seeks a trademark registration for Bob’s + a car emoji), the emoji is being used descriptively and is unlikely to qualify for trademark protection.
The possibility of trademark protection for standard and widely used emojis raises potential troubles for platforms. To reduce their trademark infringement exposure, platforms may deliberately implement emojis so that they are not substantially similar to protected trademarks – even if the platforms are not commercializing the emojis and merely providing emoji sets to their users. This effort to avoid possible trademark complications exacerbates copyright’s emoji proliferation problem.
Other IP considerations
Design patents. Emojis may be covered by design patents (industrial design rights) when they are an ornamental, nonfunctional design element of an item. For example, US patent D793,512 depicts a winky emoji on a water flotation device. However, platforms probably cannot obtain design patents for using emojis online because they serve the function of facilitating communication among users.
Utility patents. Emoji- and emoticon-related technologies are potentially patentable, and we are aware of at least four lawsuits involving such technologies. These include, for example, WordLogic v Flesky, which involves a patent that predicts words as mobile app users type and whether predicting emoticons would violate the patent.
Publicity rights. Proprietary emojis can depict individual faces and other attributes uniquely associated with a single person. For example, bitmojis allow people to create emojis of themselves. Also, some celebrities have created emoji sets containing emojis that look like them. Any emoji depictions of individuals may require consent from the depicted person. Such consent is certainly required if the emoji is to be used as a brand on marketplace goods or services.
Owning emojis
Because emojis are eligible for IP protection, we expect that IP protection and assertions for emojis will increase as their popularity grows. IP protection for emojis, however, is a mixed blessing. While some emoji owners may profit from exploiting their IP, the rest of us may find it harder to communicate effectively with each other. Acquiring IP rights over emojis implicitly encourages unnecessary and undesirable variations of emoji depictions. It is as if each publisher intentionally spelled common words differently just to avoid any risk of infringement claims. Insofar as the linguistic role of emojis is analogous to words in communicative sentences, IP for emojis imposes a substantial tax on standard human communication. For these reasons, the institutions that regulate IP – courts, government registration offices and, as necessary, legislatures – need to be circumspect in determining the scope of IP protection for emojis.

December 2020 Salary News
What a year 2020 was for jobs and salaries. April and May saw average advertised salaries significantly increase suggesting that lower paid jobs were not as readily available due to Covid-19 and lockdown. By the Summer the average salary was starting to drop as more opportunities were slowly coming back onto the job market.
By the end of 2020, most of the UK had average advertised salaries above the £30,000 mark. The only area that did not was the East Midlands, short by £78 at £29,922.
London experienced consistent salary increases, month on month, for the 4th quarter with December seeing a modest rise of £75 (0.16%) to £45,744.
In summary, average advertised salaries are generally higher compared to 2019. This once again suggests that Covid-19, lockdown and UK tier restrictions have impacted most negatively on lower paid jobs.
Average Advertised Salaries* for December 2020:
East Anglia - £32,853
East Midlands - £29,922
London - £45,744
North East - £31,727
North West - £32,827
Scotland - £32,001
South East - £33,417
South West - £32,340
Wales - £31,014
West Midlands - £32,750
Yorkshire & Humber - £32,509

Ústí to be first Czech city with driverless cars
The city and region hope to be a hub for smart car technology development
The city of Ústí nad Labem plans to test driverless vehicles. It would be the first city in the Czech Republic to do so. The plan, which is in its early stages, came out of talks between Czech Transportation Minister Dan Ťok (ANO) and Ústí Mayor Věra Nechybová (ANO). Future talks are planned with representatives of auto makers.
“It would be a unique pilot project in the Czech Republic. We can already get inspiration and experience from Switzerland, where in Sion two minibuses were tested,” Mayor Nechybová said, according to daily Hospodářské noviny (HN). The Swiss test was launched in June 2016 with two electric minibuses with 11 seats each that use GPS and object recognition software to navigate. They were first tested on private land for several months before being put on public roads. The actions of the bus were monitored remotely, and it traveled at a maximum of 20 km per hour.
Minister Ťok said it is important that the Czech Republic doesn't get caught sleeping but instead takes initiative while new developments are going on, and that is the reason the ministry supports the development of intelligent transport infrastructure and testing of autonomous vehicle. The ministry previously supported the idea of a test track for driverless cars.
Ústí nad Labem region Governor Oldřich Bubeníček said the project is in line with ambitions to create a “smart region” and to attract top companies and experts.
The Ústí region has already been active in developing driverless cars. The French company Valeo, which has divisions in the Czech Republic, cooperated with the region's Innovation Center to help develop software and hardware so driverless cars can see and recognize objects, and react to them. The project involved some 200 people, mostly students, and more development work is expected to take place in the future.
Czech businessman Martin Hausenblas, who is behind the taxi firm Liftago, is a promoter of smart cars and helped to initiate the negotiations for their testing in the Ústí nad Labem region. He told HN that the goal was to create conditions such that companies like high-tech carmaker Tesla would want to build a factory in the region.
He also hopes the region will be successful in changing road laws to permit driverless vehicles to fit into normal use. He would like to see driverless school buses eventually taking children to school, but so far this is just a dream.
Smart cars have had mixed records on the road. One of the two buses in Sion, Switzerland, hit a parked car in September 2016, causing the project to be suspended while the incident was investigated. Nobody was hurt, but there was some minor property damage.
A driverless car operated by Google in the US hit a bus in February 2016 and sustained some damage. The Google car was at fault since the bus had the right of way during a lane change. There were other accidents with Google self-driving cars, but this was the first where the driverless car was at fault.
The worst accident was when a Tesla car on autopilot crashed into a white tractor trailer, resulting in the death of the person in the Tesla car. The car's sensors likely did not distinguish the white trailer from the bright sky.
Tesla said in a statement at the time that Tesla cars on autopilot had gone more than 130 million miles without a fatal accident, while the average for human-driven cars in the US is a fatality every 94 million miles and worldwide it is every 60 million miles.
Promoters of driverless cars say they would save 300,000 lives per decade in the US alone.

The Emerging Science Behind Sleep Cycles
Scientists from all disciplines have been looking at what drives sleep cycles and circadian rhythms. From the discovery of the first gene, called “Clock”, which sets the mammalian circadian rhythm to knowing what the brain does during each stage of sleep, scientists are beginning to unravel what takes place during sleep, how sleep is controlled and what happens if sleep is interrupted or when a person is sleep-deprived. Here is some information about the emerging science behind sleep cycles and how this new knowledge could help you improve the quality and quantity of sleep you get each night.
Sleep Stage One
The first stage of a sleep cycle lasts for about seven minutes. This happens shortly after you lay down. Your brain waves slow down to alpha and theta waves. Your eye movements decrease. You’re still alert at this stage, and a flicker of a light or a spoken word could startle you awake.
Sleep Stage Two
During the second stage of sleep, your brain makes spindle wave patterns. These indicate a higher frequency of activity. After this burst of brain energy, the waves slow down a great deal. This is still a relatively light stage of sleep, and it lasts for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Sleep Stages Three and Four
Stages three and four of the sleep cycle are similar. In the third stage of sleep, your brain waves are slow. You are in a much deeper stage of sleep, and it’s more difficult for someone to wake you. Your muscles and eyes are nearly still. In the fourth stage of sleep, your brain makes more delta waves. These are deep and restorative periods of sleep. At this time, your body is able to make cellular repairs. It also releases growth hormone. Your immune system gets to work making antibodies and eliminating invaders. This stage of sleep builds energy for when you are awake. Combined, sleep stages three and four last for about 60 minutes.
Rapid Eye Movement Sleep
About 90 minutes after you fall asleep, your body enters the rapid eye movement stage. Most adults will have five or six periods of rapid eye movement sleep during a night of eight hours of total sleep time. During the rapid eye movement stage of sleep, your eyes move around a lot. This is when you dream. Your heart rate, blood pressure and brain waves increase. You also breathe more quickly but less deeply. When you are in this stage of sleep, your brain makes neural connections. This stage of sleep helps you learn and remember. Your brain spends this time organizing and consolidating information and making connections between what was new over the past day and what you already knew from previous experience.
How to Get a Good Night’s Sleep
To get a good night’s sleep, consider your sleep hygiene. Your bedroom should be dark and reserved for sleeping and intimacy. Set the thermostat to 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid electronics, caffeine, alcohol and snacks before bedtime. A mattress’ lifespan is five to 10 years. If yours is older, it’s time to go mattress shopping. A new mattress is also a good idea if you’ve developed a health condition, such as chronic back pain, that requires a different type of support.

Guides / How to Look at Wine
How to Look at Wine
Photo for: How to Look at Wine
Even before you take a sip of wine, observing the color of the wine in your wine glass can tell you a lot about what you are about to experience. As a result, any wine tasting should always include a brief visual inspection of the wine in your glass, and should always take place before you do any initial tasting. Preferably, this observation of color and hue should take place in a setting with natural light.
The key to this process is holding the glass against a white (or, at least, neutral) background so that you can more easily observe the hue of each color more easily. However, do not hold the glass directly in front of a light source (either overhead lighting if you are indoors or the sun if you are outdoors), since this will actually make it harder to observe the true color of the wine. This is one of the mistakes that new wine drinkers make.
The true color of the wine comes from contact with the grape skins after the grapes have been juiced. So the longer the wine comes into contact with these skins, the more those skins will impart their color to the wine. One way to think about these grape skins is that they are similar to the skin of an apple or the zest of a citrus fruit (i.e. orange or lemon), in that they have a surprising number of their own characteristics that help to define what you are about to taste. The more you learn about different grape varieties, the more you will have an intuitive feel for the types of coloration they give to the wine.
As a rule of thumb, you can expect grapes with thicker skins to produce stronger colors than those with thinner skins. Some wines, for example, are particularly prized for their intense coloration made possible with these thicker skins. Another determining factor in the color of the wine is the amount of aging the wine experiences with oak. Generally speaking, oak aging helps to make the color darker, depending on the specific wine. It’s a big reason why some people prefer an oaked Chardonnay – you get to see a deeper, more golden color as well as taste a more complex flavor profile.
If you are looking at the color of a white wine, you will want to observe the amount of yellow in the glass. This can range from almost no yellow coloration at all to a straw coloration to a deep, full, golden color. As a general rule, bright, very light wines will be crisp and refreshing to drink and are a strong indication that they have not been aged in oak. On the other hand, if the wine is a darker yellow color, it is a strong indication that it has been oaked in a barrel.
If you are looking at the color of a red wine, you will want to observe the amount of red in the glass. On one hand, this coloration can be light red or even pink, and on the other hand, could be a very dark maroon or purple color. Light red wines will be fresh and even somewhat tart to drink, while darker red wines will be bolder and more complex. Generally speaking, very dark and deep coloration is a good sign that the wine has been oaked in a barrel.
Thus, as you can see, observing the color of the wine can give you a lot of information about what it will taste like, and may even give an indication of the winemaking technique used to make it. So before you taste a wine, make sure that you take a few minutes to observe the coloration of the wine in front of you.

Is Ethanol in Your Gas a Problem? We Revisited the Question With an Expert
• Friday, 27 January 2017 12:07
Digital Trends
October 22, 2016
By Jeff Zurschmeide
A couple of months ago, we ran a column on the effects of ethanol in gasoline. We didn’t think it would be terribly controversial, because we reported only what we could confirm from reputable sources (mostly the United States Department of Energy). The story sparked reader interest like a match in a pool of spilled gasoline. By the time the comments section quieted down, we’d been accused of shilling for the oil industry, the ethanol industry, the left wing, the right wing, and everything in between.
To address the valid questions and concerns raised by our readers, we’re wading back into the ethanol discussion.
For this article, Digital Trends spoke in-depth with Dr. Andrew Randolph, Technical Director for ECR Engines. Dr. Randolph holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Northwestern University, with a specialty in the combustion properties of ethanol-gasoline blends. He’s been working with NASCAR since 1999 and started with ECR in 2008.
ECR Engines is a high-performance engine production, research, and development company located on the Richard Childress Racing campus in Welcome, North Carolina. ECR Engines have earned more than 250 victories, including twice at the Daytona 500 and three times at the Brickyard 400. ECR engines have won championships in the NASCAR Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, and the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards. NASCAR races on 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline fuel.
Your lawn mower is not like your car
One of the most common complaints about our last article was that we ignored the effect of ethanol on small engines such as lawn mowers, chainsaws, weed whackers, and the like. Well, this is the Cars section of Digital Trends, not Home & Garden — but we’ll roll with it. We asked Dr. Randolph why ethanol can have such different effects on small engines.
“There is a difference between cars and lawn mowers, weed whackers, chainsaws, and things like that,” he tells Digital Trends. “Cars have a sensor in the exhaust which always optimizes the relationship of gasoline to air such that you have a perfect mixture regardless of what kind of gasoline you use.”
An Oxygen or O2 sensor communicates with a modern car’s engine control unit computer, telling it how to adjust the fuel-air mixture to stay in balance. In contrast, a small engine uses the simplest carburetor possible, with a fixed air-fuel mixture.
“When you add ethanol to gasoline, the ethanol has oxygen in it, so it changes the optimum ratio of the amount of fuel to the amount of air,” Randolph says. “You have some of the oxygen constituents in the fuel itself. A car will adjust for that automatically but lawn mowers are not able to adjust the ratio of fuel to air based on ethanol in the fuel.”
One problem is that the small engine manufacturers typically design and certify their engines to run on pure gasoline without any ethanol content. But about 97 percent of the gasoline sold at public service stations in America contains 10 percent ethanol.
“If they were to certify all these [engines] using E10 as the certification fuel, then the jetting and the carburetors on those devices would be set up to work optimally with E10,” Randolph explains. “And then you wouldn’t have any problem with those devices either.”
As a final note on small engines, Randolph warns against using E85 fuel, but states that conventional E10 should not be a problem in most cases.
“If someone thinks they had a problem in their chainsaw or their lawn mower because they’re using E10, they very likely would have had those problems anyway,” Randolph says. “When you start getting into higher concentrations like E85, if you tried to put that into your lawn mower or your weed whacker, then you will start having problems because that’s outside of the range in which the device is intended to operate.”
What about classic cars?
Another question we got was how owners of classic cars can manage ethanol in gasoline. Like small engines, classic cars tend to use carburetors, which were not designed to use fuel containing ethanol, and carburetors lack a feedback loop to adjust fuel-air mixture in real time.
“It’s kind of a case-by-case basis,” Randolph says. “But once you get into the 1990s, auto manufacturers started realizing that alcohol was going to be coming in gasoline, and they made sure that all the materials in the fuel system would not have any kind of breakdown with exposure to ethanol. It varied by manufacturer and by engine whether the fuel system was susceptible to that, but certainly by the time you got to the turn of the 21st century, no fuel systems were manufactured with components that would have difficulty with alcohols. But there are some older cars that do [have problems].”
The best thing you can do with a classic car is replace any fuel hoses or fuel pumps that might be sensitive to ethanol with modern parts, and then have your classic properly tuned at a shop that can monitor the fuel-air mixture on a rolling dynamometer that simulates real-world driving. Alternately, if it is available in your area, you can seek out ethanol-free premium gasoline, although this fuel tends to cost more than conventional E10 gasoline.
The future of ethanol
Despite the efforts of ethanol opponents, Dr. Randolph believes that we will continue to have alcohol in our fuel, and that the amount of alcohol in gasoline is likely to rise.
“It’s largely driven by economics,” Randolph says. “The price of gasoline is dependent on the price of oil. On the other hand, the economy of ethanol in the United States is linked to the health of the corn crop. It’s linked more to weather than politics. Long term, ethanol is a much more stable commodity to rely upon, because you don’t have governments and wars that are going to put your supply at risk. Also, the dollars that you’re spending on ethanol are paid to U.S. farmers and U.S. infrastructure.”
Ethanol is also preferred as an oxygenating additive because it is less toxic than prior octane-boosting additives like tetraethyl lead and Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE).
“Ethanol is a biodegradable fuel additive, and it provides excellent octane in fuel,” Randolph points out. “As we move towards the future and higher-performing engines that have to get better fuel economy, octane has to go up. The question is, how do you get there? If you get there by adding aromatic hydrocarbons or MTBE or tetraethyl lead, those are all very effective octane increasers but in each case there’s something about them that has very serious adverse health consequences. From that standpoint, ethanol is something that you would expect to be increased as we move forward.”
In the end, arguments about lawn mowers and classic cars won’t move the needle nearly so much as the widespread desire to pay less at the pump.
“I think that longer term, we’ll see more ethanol in gasoline,” Randolph says. “I think consumers want whatever’s going to be cheapest at the pump. That’s the long-term driver. I think ethanol’s going to win.”

Audi A4 allroad Radiator
Keeping your A4 allroad in top shape is your top priority.
Your Audi dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted replacement parts for your A4 allroad. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. It's not every day that you find yourself in need of a replacement Radiator for your automobile. Audi automobile owners have become used to a certain level of sporty handling when driving their A4 allroad around town.
Why Radiator replacement is so important.
Your vehicle has a liquid-cooled engine, and the cooling liquid needs to travel through the radiator before it can do its job. The heat generated by your engine gets absorbed by a mixture of water and coolant, and that coolant has to enter your Audi A4 allroad radiator through the top and flow down to the bottom so that it can reduce its temperature. When it leaves the radiator and re-enters the engine, it can now absorb more heat. Your Audi A4 allroad depends on the constant recirculation of cooling liquid so that it can stay within the prescribed operating temperature.
Don't wait another day... make your purchase while supplies last.

Community Kitchen 2
How did you get involved in the Community Kitchen initiative? Why do you feel strongly about supporting this cause?
I felt compelled when i moved here to contribute to the Seattle community and it was by chance that I began working with the HIP downtown soup kitchens on weekends. Soon after Linda and Rhoda transitioned the focus of HIP to the community kitchen and I felt drawn to helping them develop this idea; it just made so much more sense than anything I had heard before. HIP is a small organization but their forward thinking approach to solving hunger by empowering members of community who are at risk, has really drawn me closer to their goal. I feel my experience with food allows me to purposefully contribute to their community kitchen initiative. HIP is in the process of creating a very unique opportunity for many members of society who may be overlooked by larger government aid programs. Linda and Rhoda who founded it are two incredibly passionate and thoughtful people and working with them is truly enriching.
The style of cooking you are best known for is, in Nathan Myhrvold’s words, ". way beyond sustenance." However, the HIP is focused on fulfilling much more basic cooking and nutrition needs. How does your background in ‘modernist cooking’ translate for this initiative?
As a chef and as a member of the HIP community I am very conscious that food can play many roles. One of the roles of the book is to educate chefs and home cooks alike and from that perspective what we aim to do with the book is very much the main purpose of the community kitchens. Cooking can be very intimidating to people and we want to show that not only is it approachable but understanding the principals of cooking can be a constructive building block for greater life endeavors. When people use the term sustenance you usually have an image of terrible food that is meant for a purely functional purpose. We believe sustenance should be heart-warming, delicious and inspiring. While many of the people we work with at the program are indeed in need of basic nutrition and skills we want that experience to be fun and creative. That is another message of our project with Nathan, the art of food is approachable for all levels of cooks. Modernist cooking is open minded cooking, well informed cooking so it really fits in this context. The Friday before the event I was making chocolate with pop rocks with our mentally disabled group and it was a riot.
As a Modernist chef, understanding the science of food and cooking and having command of modernist cooking processes can also provide insights for better food handling and use of resources. For example, while sous vide may help restaurants provide consistently perfect cooked meat and seafood, I have started working with the program to adopt sous vide for preserving and packaging pre-cooked meals and bulk ingredients they receive as donations from Food Lifeline and other food banks. They often receive far more than they can use and sous vide provides a perfect process for freezing raw ingredients and preserving their quality.
How can others get involved and help the program succeed?
They can volunteer with the community kitchen, they can donate, they can share awareness about HIPs message… I really encourage everyone to go onto their website and learn more about their story and their mission.

Sell to a Car Salvage to Make Money
Generally speaking, many people are misconceived regarding car salvage companies. People assume that car salvage companies deal with completely junk cars. In other words if you have a total wreck of a car then you can call up such a company and they will use it for scrap metal. The truth however is quite the contrary because auto salvage companies do not scrap wrecked cars. Rather they purchase damaged and inoperable cars that can be repaired to be resold in the market or the company can sell off their spare parts.
The problem at hand is that who would buy a car that doesn’t run? Of course you may be able to find a car enthusiast willing to pay you some money to have possession of the car and then work upon it. But the chances of this are very slim. This is where car salvage companies step in to provide you with a very beneficial service.
In these economically testing times any money is good money. Selling off that damaged inoperable car will get you some cash which can come in very handy in today’s times. The important thing for interested individuals to know is when a car attains the title of being a salvage car. Basically when the cost of repairs on the car exceeds the actual worth of the car itself it is termed as being a salvage car. Most of the time, it is the insurance company that gives this title to a car upon which a claim is made. The value of the car is however determined upon its estimated worth in the market. Hence if you wreck up a brand new car it may still be worth it to repair it yourself. Unless you wrecked it up real badly.
In other cases where you have a relatively older car that has been damaged either by accident or due to neglect the cost of repair may be more than the actual worth of the car. In such cases calling upon a car salvage company is the best option that you have. If you are wondering, Should I or should I not sell my car to a car salvage company then the estimated cost of repairs as against the worth of your car will help you to make the decision. You can make use of online guides to judge the worth of your car or have a mechanic take a look at it in order to give you an estimate of the car’s worth.*/…

What is the best dog-friendly alarm system in Burlington?
July 08, 2022
Close up of security display with a dog in the background
Whenever you notice the tail wagging when you walk through the door, you are reminded why you wanted to get a dog for your [[targerlocation]] home. However, many animals are inclined to set off alarms on different types of home security systems. And it stands to reason that the bigger your pooch is, the greater the likelihood they might cause a false alarm. So wouldn’t you find it beneficial if you could find a dog-friendly alarm system in Burlington?
Vivint's smart home systems have many tools ideal for families with pets. To start with, you can rework the sensors to exclude areas where your four-legged friends usually wander about. Next, make use of your indoor video cameras with HD night vision and motion detection functionality to always have eyes on your furry housemates. Third, your dog-friendly alarm system should be simple to interact with so you may quickly arm and disarm the system as you need.
Adjust your sensors to avoid your pet
Today's motion, door, and window sensors are much more pet-friendly than previous devices. Cats and smaller dogs should have no trouble circumventing an accidental triggering of the sensor, as the equipment can adapt to them. More sizable dogs and rambunctious pets might have an enhanced likelihood of false alarms, but you may lessen that risk with a couple changes on the Vivint smartphone app.
• Change the sensitivity of your motion detector to low. You may even adjust the amount of area covered by the motion detector.
• Install motion sensors away from high-traffic spots, including the favorite napping spot or feeding area.
• Turn off your alarms via your smartphone app before you pull in the driveway -- specifically if your dog has a tendency to leap toward the door or window when you walk up the front steps.
• Set a smart light to activate to soothe an uptight pet after the sun goes down.
The capability of handling these changes is why Vivint is the top pet-friendly home security system in Burlington.
Use your indoor security cameras to see what’s going on with your dog
Indoor video cameras with 2-way talk are an easy means for owners to soothe their four-legged companions while away from home with your helpful mobile app. Your surveillance devices will even provide a video feed of your pet in in less than ideal lighting in full high-def, so you can catch a glimpse of what is transpiring in the common areas without leaving the bed. Whenever your surveillance devices detect unexpected motion, you are able to have a video snippet delivered to your phone to ascertain if it's your pet or an intruder.
Your Vivint cameras are also great tools for dogs who scare easily. If you observe them beginning to become distressed, speak to them by using the camera's speaker. They will hear your voice and realize that it's ok. In addition, if you see that they are nervous with the onset of inclement weather, you can remotely turn on a smart bulb to make the room less alarming.
The leading dog-friendly home security system in Burlington is simple to operate
The many pet-friendly features are fantastic, but they wouldn't help much if they were hard to use. The good aspect about a smart home package like Vivint's is that all your features are included in both your central hub interface and your cell phone app. Feel free to program your equipment around your unique household -- and that includes your dogs! All it requires is a few button taps and you have your whole home defense package under control.
Customize your animal-friendly security system today!
Your home’s defense shouldn't have to be a burden on your dogs. Rather, it should offer an enhanced level of security while allowing you to look out for your animal companions. Dial (802) 945-2439 or submit the following form today!

One thought on “Podcast: Uncertainty for “Dreamers” But Also Others In Diverse NW Iowa Community
1. DACA is just like the TPS program (Temporary Protective Status) the goal for Democrats is permanent placement in the U.S. “Delayed” or “Temporary” are just ** terms used to mislead. These are programs used by Democrats to import as many refugees from the third world as they can then fight to keep them permanently. One day politicians may learn If you offer incentives, benefits people will come by the millions. So their answer is pass a “Dream act” legalize millions of illegal aliens (DACA.) But they don’t want to separate families….. so add another 1-2 million. Same with the TPS program.
Democrats, MSM, every faculty member at any university in the country fighting to the death for illegal aliens? they put a warm and fuzzy name on it “Dreamers.”Democrats have actually changed the language. It’s not illegal alien anymore its “Immigrant.” They’re not adults, they are “Kids” or “children.” and no one seem to wonder why this obsession? future voters?
JOBS-There is an estimated 800,000 DACA recipients in the US. That is 800,000 jobs American Citizens don’t have or will be in competition for.The MSM and Democrats would have us believe that all 800 thousand DACA and TPS are not taking jobs Americans want (we’ve heard that lie for many years now.) There not all picking strawberries they take great Jobs. Good enough jobs to buy homes put their kids through college. So when you hear of the “contributions by illegal aliens paying taxes.” Remember that also is at a cost in jobs citizens should have. Why must the citizens of our country have competition for jobs, education in their own country from foreign nationals? Now Democrats and illegal alien activists admit DACA recipients have great jobs,are buying homes, paying taxes.
Some” of the costs associated with illegal immigration….Dollars and Blood.
*The cost of educating illegal aliens children is staggering. From K-12 it costs taxpayers $122,000 for EACH illegal alien student. We’ve been paying this for decades
Shattered American Dreams.

The Java EE 6 Tutorial, Volume I
A transaction is a series of actions in a Java EE application that must all complete successfully or else all the changes in each action are backed out. Transactions end in either a commit or a rollback.
The Java Transaction API (JTA) allows applications to access transactions in a manner that is independent of specific implementations. JTA specifies standard Java interfaces between a transaction manager and the parties involved in a distributed transaction system: the transactional application, the Java EE server, and the manager that controls access to the shared resources affected by the transactions.
The JTA defines the UserTransaction interface that is used by applications to start, and commit or abort transactions. Application components get a UserTransaction object through a JNDI lookup using the name java:comp/UserTransaction or by requesting injection of a UserTransaction object. A number of interfaces defined by JTA are used by an application server to communicate with a transaction manager, and for a transaction manager to interact with a resource manager.
See the Chapter 27, Transactions chapter for a more detailed explanation. The JTA 1.1 specification is available at http://java.sun.com/javaee/technologies/jta/index.jsp.

What Is definitely the Distinction Among Mass And Weight In Physics?
Most physics textbooks describe weight with regards to mass.
What is the distinction involving mass and weight in physics? Right here are some points to consider.
One of your most basic online paper editing definitions of weight in physics may be the Nature Physics Influence Factor. The Nature Physics Impact Element describes how power is transferred in the materials that make up an object for the objects that it might influence. It describes how distinctive objects adjust their shapes as they may be forced into a series of forces. It truly is basically a mathematical representation on the physical laws that govern the formation of all objects from the beginning.
One in the major tenets of physics is that mass will not equal weight. The explanation for this can be that energy cannot be designed or destroyed. Consequently, http://campuspress.yale.edu/yuwo/ any force that forces an object to move quicker than the speed of light is really a force of acceleration.
On the other hand, for those who assume that power is anything that comes from mass, then you will likely be making use of the Nature Physics Effect Issue to say that if anything has mass, then https://buyessay.net/ it may be pushed or pulled depending on the nature of its material properties. In essence, the Law of Inertia states that the object’s mass and also the amount of force required to move it are related. When the object has mass, then it may be pulled. If it will not have mass, then it might be pushed.
So the frequent question is what exactly is the difference involving mass and weight in physics? There are various. Mass is an absolute worth in the item of two mass. Weight is really a value that relates towards the product of one mass and its velocity, and which consists of the solution from the velocity and its acceleration.
It is this value which is utilized to describe the weight of a physique. Because the force applied to a physique increases, the size on the object will raise as well. When comparing a brand new object to an old one particular, the distinction is represented by the nature in the symbol ’kg’.
The relationship involving mass and weight in physics is so substantial that it influences the movement of all objects in their capacity to handle their own movements simply because of their own gravitational attraction to a single yet another. The Earth’s gravity is much less than that of the moon. Therefore, objects that are far more massive (with additional mass) will tend to travel farther. Much less mass, alternatively, will tend to move more rapidly when attempting to slow down or cease.
It has been found that the Earth’s gravity is more than sufficient to trigger objects to move with high speeds. This takes place since mass will not minimize a body’s velocity but rather the opposite is accurate: the larger the mass, the more quickly it moves.
What may be the distinction amongst mass and weight in physics? It might appear to become irrelevant, however it is actually fairly crucial.
When comparing a car to 1 which can be lighter in weight, the answer is this: the slower the automobile, the greater the amount of weight it calls for. By way of example, if you need to move faster, then you definitely must buy a lighter automobile. Having said that, the nature on the vehicle is also important since the heavier a automobile is, the significantly less the size that you could make the wheels of the car match into.
Modern automobiles have a lot of selections offered that it really is difficult to describe them within a way that does not need the comparison to become made amongst sorts of automobiles. Today’s automobiles are much larger, quicker, far more strong, and frequently far more hard to handle than their earlier counterparts. Hence, it really is vital to consider the nature of these automobiles when comparing them to vehicles which can be related in shape.
What is definitely the difference in between mass and weight in physics? It all boils down towards the Newton’s initially law, however the definition of both mass and weight should be kept in mind constantly.

Licenses shouldn’t trump other issues
Facebook Twitter Email
To the Editor:
This is in response to Kim Thatcher’s recent article in the Keizertimes (Keep good driver’s license standards, Nov. 9), her first communication with Keizer constituents as she begins another term as our representative. I find it disheartening to discover that Ms. Thatcher is choosing to focus her attention on limiting drivers’ licenses for undocumented individuals, rather than communicating her commitment to tackle some of the truly pressing concerns that plague our state. In addition, her article disseminates misinformation and blatantly provokes fear.
First, Representative Thatcher states “Why should we open the door for a drug dealer from a foreign country to get a driver’s license in Oregon?” Indeed. In our current system, only drug dealers from the United States are permitted to have driver’s licenses in Oregon. Surely Ms. Thatcher is not suggesting that denying a driver’s license is likely to curtail illegal drug trafficking.
Next, Ms. Thatcher suggests that issuing drivers’ licenses would open the doors to other services, such as a “bank account, welfare benefits, you name it.” As a legislator for the state of Oregon, I would expect Ms. Thatcher to be aware that applicants for temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) are required to bring social security numbers or cards and proof of legal status or citizenship for everyone in the household who wants benefits. Similar conditions for documentation are required to open a bank account. A driver’s license is not considered proof of citizenship, and that would not change if undocumented individuals were allowed to apply for Oregon drivers’ licenses. I’m not sure what encompasses “you name it” so will not attempt to respond.
Finally, my personal stance on whether or not to grant drivers’ licenses to undocumented individuals is irrelevant. The question to ask is whether Ms. Thatcher is adequately representing you, her constituent, as she begins her fifth term. Are you and your family struggling with challenges related to this economy? Worried about shrinking resources for public education? Wondering about changes in health care? Or is your primary focus on whether or not undocumented individuals will be able to obtain drivers’ licenses?

They are funny and clever, but they don't have anything to do with the SAT. The SAT does not ask those kinds of questions. I think they are just jokes.

Deleting Racism From History
The Dukes of Hazard. So, I’m showing my age here but I’m 54 and I grew up watching Beau and Luke Duke sliding across the hood of their Hot Dodge Charger named the General Lee. If you don’t know this show the General Lee had a Confederate flag painted on the roof. The Confederate flag […]
The Dukes of Hazard.
The Confederate flag is a symbol of racism.
Are we going to ever be able to watch this family-friendly show ever again? Ehh, honestly I’m not that attached to it but just don’t take away Charlie’s Angels.
There is also a movement to remove statues of confederate leaders and the confederate flag. I get this and agree of course because ya know, they lost the war. I mean a long time ago, let go already. Lets not idolize those leaders who fought for what that meant. It seems obvious those should be removed.
NASCAR driver Ray Ciccarelli just made a statement vowing to retire based on the fact that NASCAR has banned the confederate flag at it’s events and properties. There’s a real shame. Oh well, one less racist in professional sports. If you can call NASCAR that.
Country group Lady Antebellum changed their name to Lady A as they didn’t want to be associated with the word that had racist connotations.
Netflix just removed Gone With The Wind because while it was one of the greatest movies ever made it was also clearly one of the most racist.
Christopher Columbus statues around the country are being taken down. And while I get this to a large degree, does everyone understand what Columbus day means to Italian-Americans? Probably not. Check for the story. Mind you despite this new info that doesn’t mean I agree we should idolize Columbus either, I don’t.
There’s also currently a movement in place to possibly rename Boston’s Faneuil Hall because Peter Faneuil owned slaves.
Obviously its understandable how this is all coming up in light of current events and I an outraged and appalled more than I ever have been (but should have been). But I am only affected by this personally as my partner is black and we have watched this all erupt together.
But where does it end? George Washington owned slaves.
What do we do now?
Do we take down the Washington Monument?
Do we replace him on the dollar bill and if so with….who?
Do we rename the GW bridge in NYC?
Do we change the name of the Capitol of this country from Washington, DC to just…DC?
Do we obliterate Mount Rushmore?
Same thing with anything memorializing presidents Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Johnson and Grant….do we erase all indications of them from memorials, monies, architecture etc?
And does it stop there? What happens to the Declaration of Independence because so many of them did or likely owned slaves, is the point of view of this and the entire Constitution skewed because of it?
I mean lets face it the Declaration of Independence and Constitution was written in the 1700’s and a lot of things relevant then and standard for those social norms do not apply now. I mean in my earlier blog That’s A Mighty Big Gun You Got There Mister I pointed out the fact that our right to bear arms was meant to enable us to protect ourselves, our land and families in a time where law wasn’t so defined. And when military-grade weaponry wasn’t a thing. I think we can all agree that if that was being rewritten now it might have a few ‘except’ clauses.
I am all for removing Columbus Statues and renaming Columbus Day Weekend to maybe Italian-American Weekend, and I am adamantly for the removal of all statues of Confederate leaders, banning the use of the confederate flag and renaming the Army bases from names of Confederate leaders.
My problem however is that while I understand the racist relationships, but slavery and racism is, admittedly horribly, an actual part of US history. Are we erasing history by doing all of this? I mean I get it because we are creating a new point in history that will show intolerance. But how do we talk about the first American Unites States President ever again and the positive things he did when its clouded by the fact that he owned slaves so we musn’t glorify the good. Hmmm…
And in erasing part of history are we erasing lessons learned?
I think the biggest lesson here is that when the Confederates lost, when Lincoln abolished slavery, the whites of the United States didn’t just flip an internal switch somewhere and suddenly everyone was equal. I wish it was that easy.
Racism carried on.
Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus. She made her point.
Racism carried on.
Martin Luther King made his great speech.
Racism carried on.
Rodney King was beaten by police and the LA riots followed.
Racism carried on.
George Floyd was killed by a police officer while three other officers stood by and did nothing.
Protesters rallied across the country amid a global pandemic.
Riots ensued.
Police forces across the country feared without change nothing would change.
Will racism carry on this time?
No matter what we do, no matter what anyone does, there is no off switch. Does zero tolerance lead to a reduction in racism? No.
Or do we have to be satisfied putting an end to racist actions and laws across the country, is that good enough? It might have to be.
I want it to end. I think the majority of the country wants it to end.
Ray Ciccarelli will never race again and honestly nobody cares. Your love of the confederacy is laughable and untimely.
What if Tiger Woods was at the peak of his game and came out saying he’d never golf again in the midst of a racist country?
What if all the black baseball players refused to play in Boston because of its racist fans?
What’s it going to take?
Tell me because I would like to know. I don’t think erasing history because leaders were racist does the country any good.
Lets learn the goddamn lesson from it and keep those reminders of how far we had to go as a nation.
How far we still have to go.
Its sad, but its true.

Worse than quantum physics, part 2
This is Part 2 of a two part explanation — Part 1 is here. It won’t make much sense on its own!
In this post I’m going to get into the details of the analogy I set up last time. So far I’ve described how the PR box is ‘worse than quantum physics’ in a specific sense: it violates the CHSH inequality more strongly than any quantum system, pushing past the Tsirelson bound of 2\sqrt{2} to reach the maximum possible value of 4. I also introduced Piponi’s box example, another even simpler ‘worse than quantum physics’ toy system.
This time I’ll explain the connection between Piponi’s box and qubit phase space, and then show that a similar CHSH-inequality-like ‘logical Bell inequality’ holds there too. In this case the quantum system has a Tsirelson-like bound of \sqrt{3}, interestingly intermediate between the classical limit of 1 and the maximum possible value of 3 obtained by Piponi’s box. Finally I’ll dump a load of remaining questions into a Discussion section in the hope that someone can help me out here.
A logical Bell inequality for the Piponi box
Here’s the table from the last post again:
Measurement T F
a 1 0
b 1 0
a \oplus b 1 0
As with the PR box, we can use the yellow highlighted cells in the table to get a version of Abramsky and Hardy’s logical Bell inequality \sum p_i \leq N-1, this time with N = 3 cells. These cells correspond to the three incompatible propositions a, b, a\oplus b, with combined probability \sum p_i = 3, violating the inequality by the maximum amount.
Converting to expected values E_i = 2p_i -1 gives
\sum E_i = 3 > N-2 = 1.
So that’s the Piponi box ↔ PR box part of the analogy sorted. Next I want to talk about the qubit phase space ↔ Bell state part. But first it will be useful to rewrite the table of Piponi box results in a way that makes the connection to qubit phase space more obvious:
The four boxes represent the four ‘probabilities’ P(a,b) introduced in the previous post, which can be negative. To recover the values in the table, add up rows, columns or diagonals of the diagram. For example, to find p(\lnot a), sum up the left hand column:
p(\lnot a) = P(\lnot a, b) + P(\lnot a, \lnot b) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0.
Or to find p(a \oplus b), sum up the top-left-to-bottom-right diagonal:
p(a \oplus b) = P(a, \lnot b) + P(\lnot a, b) = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1.
I made the diagram below to show how this works in general, and now I’m not sure whether that was a good idea. It’s kind of busy and looking at the example above is probably a lot more helpful. On the other hand, I’ve gone through the effort of making it now and someone might find it useful, so here it is:
Qubit phase space
That’s the first part of the analogy done, between the PR box and Piponi’s box model. Now for the second part, between the CHSH system and qubit phase space. I want to show that the same set of measurements that I used for Piponi’s box also crops up in quantum mechanics as measurements on the phase space of a single qubit. This quantum case also violates the classical bound of \sum E_i = 1, but, as with the Tsirelson bound for an entangled qubit system, it doesn’t reach the maximum possible value. Instead, it tops out at \sum E_i = \sqrt{3}.
The measurements a, b, a\oplus b can be instantiated for a qubit in the following way. For a qubit |\psi\rangle, take
p(a) = \langle \psi | Q_z | \psi \rangle ,
p(b) = \langle \psi | Q_x | \psi \rangle ,
with Q_i = \frac{1}{2}(I-\sigma_i) for the Pauli matrices \sigma_i. The a\oplus b diagonal measurements then turn out to correspond to
p(a\oplus b) = \langle \psi | Q_y | \psi \rangle ,
completing the set of measurements.
This is the qubit phase space I described in my second post on negative probability – for more details on how this works and how the corresponding P(a,b)s are calculated, see for example the papers by Wootters on finite-state Wigner functions and Picturing Qubits in Phase Space.
As a simple example, in the case of the qubit state |0\rangle these measurements give
p(a) = 0
p(b) = \frac{1}{2}
p(a\oplus b) = \frac{1}{2},
leading to the following phase space:
A Tsirelson-like bound for qubit phase space
Now, we want to find the qubit state |\psi\rangle which gives the largest value of \sum p_i. To do this, I wrote out |\psi\rangle in the general Bloch sphere form |\psi\rangle = \cos(\theta / 2) |0\rangle + e^{i\phi} \sin(\theta / 2) |1\rangle and then maximised the value of the highlighted cells in the table:
\sum p_i = p(a) + p(b) + p(a\oplus b) = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2}(\cos\theta + \sin\theta\cos\phi + \sin\theta\sin\phi )
This is a straightforward calculation but the details are kind of fiddly, so I’ve relegated them to a separate page (like the boring technical appendix at the back of a paper, but blog post style). Anyway the upshot is that this quantity is maximised when \phi = \frac{5\pi}{4} , \sin\theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}} and \cos\theta = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, leading to the following table:
Measurement T F
a \frac{1}{2}\left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right) 0
The corresponding qubit phase space, if you’re interested, is the following:
Notice the negative ‘probability’ in the bottom left, with a value of around -0.183. This is in fact the most negative value possible for qubit phase space.
This time, adding up the numbers in the yellow-highlighted cells of the table gives
\sum p_i = \frac{3}{2}\left(1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right),
or, in terms of expectation values,
\sum E_i = \sum (2p_i - 1) = \sqrt{3}.
So \sqrt{3} is our Tsirelson-like bound for this system, in between the classical limit of 1 and the Piponi box value of 3.
Further questions
As with all of my physics blog posts, I end up with more questions than I started with. Here are a few of them:
Is this analogy already described in some paper somewhere? If so, please point me at it!
Numerology. Why \sqrt{3} and not some other number? As a first step, I can do a bit of numerology and notice that \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{N/2}, where N=6 is the number of cells in the table, and that this rule also fits the CHSH bound of 2\sqrt{2}, where there are N=16 cells.
I can also try this formula on the Mermin example from my Bell post. In that case N=36, so the upper bound implied by the rule would be 3\sqrt{2} … which turns out to be correct. (I didn’t find the upper bound in the post, but you can get it by putting \tfrac{1}{8}(2+\sqrt 2) in all the highlighted cells of the table, similarly to CHSH.)
The Mermin example is close enough to CHSH that it’s not really an independent data point for my rule, but it’s reassuring that it still fits, at least.
What does this mean? Does it generalise? I don’t know. There’s a big literature on different families of Bell results and their upper bounds, and I don’t know my way around it.
Information causality. OK, playing around with numbers is fine, but what does it mean conceptually? Again, I don’t really know my way around the literature. I know there’s a bunch of papers, starting from this one by Pawlowski et al, that introduces a physical principle called ‘information causality’. According to that paper, this states that, for a sender Alice and a receiver Bob,
> the information gain that Bob can reach about the previously unknown to him data set of Alice, by using all his local resources and m classical bits communicated by Alice, is at most m bits.
This principle somehow leads to the Tsirelson bound… as you can see I have not looked into the details yet. This is probably what I should do next. It’s very much phrased in terms of having two separated systems, so I don’t know whether it can be applied usefully in my case of a single qubit.
If you have any insight into any of these questions, or you notice any errors in the post, please let me know in the comments below, or by email.

• Questions for Sandbaggers
I'm looking to put on some muscle mass. I'm not really concerned with controlling bodyfat, as I already have a pretty low bodyfat composition.
I used to belong to a gym and followed/was pleased with a high weight/low rep routine doing the "big lifts" - squats, deadlifts, benchpresses, rows, etc.. However my membership lapsed and I found it a pain to drive out to the gym all the time so I'm looking for solutions for working out at home.
I'm a little skeptical of the sandbag routines because, as I said, I was doing high weight/low reps before and most sandbags max out at around 100 lbs. I was deadlifting in the mid-high 200 lb range, IIRC, back when I had access to barbells and what not.
I looked into getting a "safety cage" for squatting in my house, but my ceilings are too low, so I'm looking for things I can do in my back yard or around the neighborhood (e.g. take the dog for a walk by the playground and do pullups on the monkey bars).
Can anyone comment on their results with sandbag workouts or otherworkouts that don't require a lot of equipment?
• #2
It's entirely possible to follow a standard strength training program with sandbags - the main issues you'll come up against are actually getting the bag into position for most of the lifts. For my heavy sandbag work I use a Brute Force Heavy Hitter (Heavy Hitter) and that loads up to 200lbs.
I'd really say that the key thing is to re-evaluate exactly what you want or need from your training. If it's to get a big deadlift and squat (and I mean BIG) then replicating that with a sandbag is tough.
But if you want to build useable strength and muscle then the sandbag is a great option. Trust me, if you can clean and press a 200lb sandbag then you're in the big leagues.
The other good thing about sandbags is that you can also add in lots of strongman-style work like load carries, platform loads, drags and throws. These are all great ways to build muscle and strength.
This is me with a 130lb Heavy Hitter:

Depending on how much muscle mass you want to add, a sandbag is probably more than adequate. Load it up with as much weight as you can handle, pick it up from the ground and up to head level (on shoulders, whatever) move it some distance, put it down and repeat. To grow you have to utterly shock your body into adapting. Plus, you gotta eat a lot.

Anthropogenic global warming is regarded as a major threat to species and ecosystems worldwide. Predicting the biological impacts of future warming is thus of critical importance. The geological record provides several examples of mass extinctions and global ecosystem perturbations in which temperature-related stresses are thought to have played a substantial role. These catastrophic natural events are potential analogues for the consequences of anthropogenic warming but the Earth system processes during these times are still underexplored, especially in terms of their ultimate trigger and the extinction mechanisms. We propose a research unit, which aims at assessing the relative importance of warming-related stresses in ancient mass extinctions and at evaluating how these stresses emerged under non-anthropogenic conditions. An interdisciplinary set of projects will combine high-resolution geological field studies with meta-analyses and sophisticated analysis of fossil occurrence data on ancient (suspect) hyperthermal events to reveal the rate and magnitude of warming, their potential causes, their impact on marine life, and the mechanisms which led to ecologic change and extinction. Geochemistry, analytical paleobiology and physiology comprise our main toolkit, supplemented by biostratigraphy, sedimentology, and modeling. .

The big issue: Tullamarine
Date: October 07 2012
A modern airport? More like a stockyard
SNAKING lines of frustrated, tired animals. ''Stockmen'' shouting to herd the ''cattle'' in the right direction. Even dogs jumping over barriers. Tullamarine can more easily be confused with a stockyard than a ''high-flying'' airport. In 30 years of international travel I struggle to find an equally dismal travelling experience - ''The Greece/Albania border,'' offer friends helpfully.
It is the only major city airport I can recall without a train link. Arrival queues are appalling. Parking is extortionate. It is another example of the complete lack of vision from our government, which sold a strategic asset and created an instant monopoly. Australia Pacific Airports seems completely uninterested in customers' experience, but only the most efficient method of gouging long-suffering travellers.
Impossible task
USING public transport to Tullamarine airport has been made virtually impossible. I feel I am being punished for being a public transport user and am being made to feel subhuman. I use the 901 Smartbus to Tullamarine from Greensborough regularly for work trips and holidays. The airport bus stop, which is exposed to the elements, is a disgrace. I've witnessed elderly people and mothers with prams, children and luggage struggle to walk the 800 metres to the terminal while negotiating the hundreds of waiting taxis. There is no safe pedestrian crossing.
And airport management will not provide extra space for bus parking to make life easier for us. This airport is a disgrace for a world-class city. But thank you to the bus drivers who apologise for the service and try to make up with kindness.
Sandwiched between two flight paths
I READ Bruce Guthrie's article with more than a little interest (Opinion, 30/9). I live in Keilor, which is close to the current north-south flight path. With traffic estimated to double in the years to come, another north-south flight path is under study. This will also see flights directly over our residential area without restriction, as is the case now. It is likely that I will be sandwiched between two flight paths.
I am already being affected by the increased traffic; I can't imagine being between two unrestricted flight paths.
Greed trumps green
ON MY gap year in 2009 I backpacked around Europe. One of the first things I noticed that was different was when I arrived in Athens, an extremely convenient train whisked me from the airport almost to the door of the Acropolis. Impressive.
Over the next six months I found such train services to be a feature in almost every European city I set foot in, no matter how far out of town the airport was.
But the adventure came to an end, and after a quick Tube ride to Heathrow and a few long flights, I set foot in Tullamarine, where in place of a train service is a single bus stop and 23,000 car parks.
That's a great situation for the airport owner, which reportedly rakes in $87 million profit a year from parking. But it is not so great for ol' Mother Nature, who is getting pretty impatient waiting for green to trump greed. Improving the bus system is not necessarily the answer. Brisbane and Sydney airports have train stations. C'mon Melbourne, get it together.
Online database would give full picture
MANY readers must have been disturbed by the fact that Stacey Scaife's terrifying encounters weren't considered important enough for police to record (''At the dark end of the street'', 30/9). Is it so common for a man to approach a woman and describe how he is going to murder her? With the combination of incidents not being reported (''What's the point, what can police do?'') and then no recording when people do report, a full picture of a would-be assailant cannot be built up.
Why can't police set up a database where people are encouraged to register online all attacks or frightening incidents as a matter of course? Data could then be sorted by suburb/age/description/car number-plate and so on. Police would see patterns emerge and identify hot-spots to patrol.
And we might get the real figures on the number of women being physically assaulted or badly frightened by men unknown to them. We know the murders are tiny at the apex of this triangle, but what does the bottom of it look like?
More police on beat
CCTV cameras are all very well, but they don't save lives. More police on the beat on our streets, especially in areas like Brunswick Street, Sydney Road and Carlton on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights could have saved the life of Jill Meagher. By the time police arrive after an event it is often too late for the victim.
DIANE POOLE, Ferntree Gully
Capitalising on split
THE original rationale for government grants may well have been to ''assist the struggling Catholic school sector'' (Letters, 30/9). But Liberal premier Henry Bolte was arguably motivated less by social justice than by capitalising on the Labor Party split in the 1950s and securing the crucial electoral support of the DLP.
It was Bolte who persuaded his party to accept state-aid for non-government schools and we're now paying the price for a deal that is undermining education in Australia.
ANGELA MUNRO, Carlton North
Hotline to heaven
THANK you for your great coverage of the AFL and especially the grand final. And congratulations to Caroline Wilson for being the best in a team of champs. She was one of the few who tipped a Swans victory and her margin was less than a goal off and she correctly predicted the winner of the Norm Smith medal. She must have a hotline to heaven. If only I had read her predictions before the game and backed them up at the TAB I might be moving from the foreshore of Gunnamatta Bay (25 kilometres from Sydney's CBD) to the harbour foreshore.
At 81, and having been brought up on rugby union and hurling, I have been to many great sporting events including two Olympic Games (1956 and 2000) but nothing compares with an AFL grand final in Melbourne. I was fortunate to see my team win two great matches in 2005 and 2012. Keep up the insightful reporting.
JOHN BYRNE, Cronulla
Dignified performance
WHAT a dignified performance by Alastair Clarkson in the post-grand final press conference. Speaking through what must have been crushing disappointment, he managed to maintain a perspective by alluding to the infinitely worse tragedies of Jill Meagher, his brother-in-law and Jarrad McVeigh's daughter.
Bragging rights
YES, John Fairnie (Letters, 30/9), genealogy is a fascinating hobby. But let's not get carried away. An ancestor born in, say, 1800, would have provided a person alive today with about 1-3 per cent of their genetic material. Conversely, that ancestor could now have thousands of descendants.
When you consider that 168,000 convicts were transported, it's likely that all but the most recently arrived Australians would have some convict genes, mixed up in a huge genetic soup. But I'd rather a person bragged about having convict heritage than an aristocratic lineage.
Subsidy for well-off
PHILIP Mendes (Letters, 30/9) doesn't have to cite Mitt Romney's low tax rate in the United States to find an example of bias in the tax system. Right here in Australia, people who earn their income by working pay double the tax rate of people who make profits by selling shares and property that they have held for more than 12 months. Real tax reform would remove that subsidy for the well-off.
CHRIS CURTIS, Hurstbridge
Lucid discussion
THANK you, Annabel Crabb, for lucidly pointing to the conclusion that in a democracy, the concept of freedom of speech is flawed if it neglects the avoidance of harm or intended malice towards others (''Like democracy, freedom of speech is the best of a bad lot of choices'', The Last Word, 30/9). J. S. Mill anchored this conclusion in English thinking and the legal philosopher H.L.A. Hart wrote a definitive essay ''Are There Any Natural Rights?'' This is all entirely accessible on the internet to ordinary readers like me. We deserve to be briefed on this question.
BRIAN TAYLOR, Merricks North
Price of our freedom
LAST week's Sunday Age presented a fascinating juxtaposition. First we had Annabel Crabb rightly pointing out that the price of freedom of speech is the need, from time to time, to put up with some unpleasant utterances.
And then we had the report on Alan Jones' appalling speech (''Gillard's father died of shame: Alan Jones'', 30/9), which made Crabb's point perfectly. The Americans have the abhorrent maker of anti-Muslim films, while Australia has Alan Jones. Crabb is right. One way or another we all have to pay for our freedoms.
Highgate Hill, Queensland
Marine rubbish dump
EACH day about 3½ million pieces of plastic enter the world's oceans. Some wash up on our shores, including at hitherto pristine places such as Lord Howe Island. In the Pacific, oceanographers have found a floating island of plastic several kilometres wide.
A recent marine science survey of the oceans found that plastic materials have become so ubiquitous they are breaking down via ultraviolet rays and seawater into small particles and absorbed into the food chain via plankton, mammals and fish. Ultimately this seafood finds its way on to our dinner plates.
Toxins are in the polymers used by the petrochemical and plastics industry to produce the plastic bottles, bags, screw tops and the ubiquitous plastic packaging that have gradually become part of our daily lives.
We ignore this increasingly disastrous environmental issue at our peril. South Australia has taken a lead with plastic bag and deposit recycling legislation. The industry will deny and delay doing anything about the mounting problem, but please think the next time you buy a plastic bottle or use a plastic bag.
Social imperative
THERE is an old saying ''without your health, you have nothing''. A similar adage could apply to education as without it, you are only able to work as a labourer, process worker or similar. Of course these people make worthwhile contributions to society.
But, Mr Baillieu, think about the consequences of selling off the education farm, and closing the doors to future tradespeople and chefs, to say nothing of other skills. This is what you are doing by slashing funding to TAFE institutes.
Where did the great engineers of the Snowy Mountain Authority learn their skills? Technical schools and universities. As an architect you should realise that with manufacturing going overseas, the aforementioned skills are vital not only for our economy but for our social structure.
IAN ANDERSON, Vermont South
Solar subsidises coal
THE federal government's chief energy forecasting body has predicted that onshore wind and solar photovoltaic cells will provide the cheapest electricity by 2030, with solar PV dramatically cheaper than all other energy forms by 2050.
The latest report from the Australian Energy Technology Assessment slashes previous estimates of the cost of a range of renewable technologies, and in some cases doubles the predicted cost of coal-fired generation in the decades to come - with or without the additional cost of carbon capture and storage.
When I contacted Greg Hunt, the federal opposition's environment spokesman, about the opposition's renewables strategy, he informed me it would be based on the concept of ''reverse auction'' - that is, the lowest bidder, or cheapest bid, wins.
I wonder how Mr Hunt reconciles the ''reverse auction'' strategy with current Victorian wind-energy policy, which effectively bans the cheapest form of renewable energy across large sections of the state? And how does he reconcile it with cuts in Victorian solar feed-in tariffs, which effectively give coal-fired power generators a subsidy from every solar PV owner?

AKP-MHP to continue alliance in 2019’s local elections
Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have agreed to continue an alliance they made for general and presidential elections held on June 24 in next year’s local elections as well, according to an AKP official.
Mehmet Özhasaki, who is responsible for the AKP’s local administrations, said in a statement following a meeting between a group of AKP and MHP officials on Tuesday that the parties would remain loyal to their election alliance.
The details of the alliance will be clarified at a meeting between AKP leader and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli in the coming days.
The MHP’s Sadir Durmaz, who has been tasked by the party to conduct the alliance talks with the AKP, said both parties have voiced their willingness to continue their alliance in the local elections as well.
Turkey will hold local elections on March 31, 2019.
Many Turkey observers argue that the MHP’s importance for the continuation of Erdoğan’s rule will make him more nationalist in domestic and foreign policy.

Preparing A Meal For A Large Gathering
It is much easier to order take-out than it is to cook. After all, you get to sit and wait and there’s no clean-up afterwards. But when you do the cooking yourself you have more control over the ingredients and it tastes better because it comes from your heart. Here are a few cooking tips to make you put the phonebook down and take out the pots.
When you are chopping onions for a home cooked salsa make sure you rinse them. Rinse your onions immediately after you cut them then blot them dry with a napkin. This will remove the sulfurous gas and will make your salsa taste better. This works well for other recipes too.
Cooking a big meal? Do the preparations the day or night before! This way, you will have less to do on the day you are going to make your meal. For instance, if a salad will be part of your meal, make it the night before.
If you have a lot of pets around the house, they should not be with you in the kitchen, if the stove is near the ground. This can present a safety hazard because you want to reduce any risk of your animals getting hurt. Keep all animals and small children away from hot ovens.
If you are making french fries, you want that crispy outside. A trick to getting this is to let your raw potatoes sit in cold water for at least thirty minutes before you put them in the fryer. That will give you that lovely golden crunchy outside, and the soft inside that is favored.
When cooking any meat you want to make sure that you reach the temperature that is high enough to kill any transferable bacteria. If this bacteria is not cooked high enough for whatever the certain meat calls for, people can become very ill or even get worms that were in the meat.
Cooking your own meals can be a great experience. Use these tips to get your kitchen buzzing and rediscover how gratifying it can be to eat a meal that you prepared with your own two hands in your kitchen. You know what? Your meal probably tastes better than any take-out you can get.

have Linux installed on Fat32 partitions also.
Linux is very
difficult and based on text command
Linux has come a
long way from being the system of brilliant computer users. It has extremely
advanced X Windows systems that have a complete graphical user interface-you
know, like Windows. It also has a large number of window manager that let you
work with different levels of customization of your desktop.
Linux has a
robust character-cell interface where commands need to be typed in. x Windows is
a free program that runs with Linux to provide a GUI where the mouse and
keyboard can be used extensively. But the X system itself is quite primitive and
needs a window manager, or a desktop environment- like GNOME or KDE- to be
really usable. Window managers are programs that let you interact with the
underlying X system and Linux OS by relaying commands. The popular window
managers are Sawfish, Enlightenment, Black box, after step and Window maker.
As for desktop
managers, they have their own window manager and other tools that make you feel
that you are working in Window! GNOME and KDE are the most popular of these.
GNOME stands for GNU Network Model Environment and KDE for K desktop
Environment. They have tools that allow drag and drop, have panels and taskbar-
almost like clones of windows.
compatibility problem and few applications that run on Linux
Well, most new
distributions will detect and configure your hardware in a jiffy, unless you
have some really old or exotic piece of hardware. All hardware are properly
detected and their drivers installed. Only Win modems (internal modems driven by
Window drivers) face problems.
As for software,
there’s plenty. And most of it comes free-free for you to use, modify and
configure according to your needs. Almost all excellent software for Linux is
free and you don’t lose anything by giving it a try. You get free support on the
Net quickly on any query you may have. And you don’t even have to wipe out your
Windows. Just get Linux on a different hard disk partition and free to switch
between them as you please.
Other packages
are commercial and you have to buy the software-but this is mostly for the
software and training you need, and not for the software itself. Sometimes, if
you have the Windows version (as a doom) you can download a small program that

Shoot It Again, Sam
(The Moving Graveyard)
(A book in the Ed Noon series)
A novel by
"It was all so simple, really. My assignment. I had come to kill the President of the United States." Ed Noon, Private Eye
For an old movie buff like Ed Noon, escorting the corpse of his favorite movie star to the west coast for burial was a sentimental journey. But then the coffin lid opened, the corpse sat up, the lights went out and Noon was on a terror trip past the wildest nightmares of the Hollywood dream merchants. Ed Noon is kidnapped, brainwashed and sent to assassinate the President of the United States, in one of his most mind-bending and intense adventures.
The Adventures of Ed Noon, Private Eye, spanning over 30 novels written between 1953 and 1990. Noon starts out dirt poor with a tiny office in Midtown Manhattan (his "Mouse Auditorium") but success moves him to better digs, a lovely secretary (Melissa Mercer) and, eventually, the most important client of all: the President of the United States. The series concludes with a daring turn towards science fiction in the last two novels. Through it all, the wisecracking Noon is consistent: a movie and baseball-obsessed romantic who always fights the good fight.

A webmail application lets you send and receive e-mails by way of a web browser with no need to create an email inside a program such as Outlook or Thunderbird. When you take a trip, for example, you can check your emails from an Internet café and you will not need to download, install or set up anything at all. Webmail applications are advanced enough to offer you a lot of options such as having an address book or creating folders that will afterwards show up in your e mail client. As a webmail software works with the messages on the server, it is vital that you employ the IMAP protocol any time you configure an email account on your computer. You may still use webmail if you choose POP, but older messages will not be available because they will have been downloaded on the PC. You can use webmail as long as there is any sort of e-mail created in your website hosting account and using an email application prior to being able to use webmail isn't a requirement, so that you can manage your digital communication solely through a browser.
Webmail RoundCube in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting plans come with an innovative webmail client named Roundcube, which will offer you pretty much all of the functions of a standard email app. You can access it right from an Internet browser by entering your e-mail address and password or using your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. Considering the capabilities that Roundcube has, you'll be able to use it to supplement an email app or as a standalone app. If you host an enterprise web site and your workers use webmail, you can have the application within a personalized URL with the corporation domain in a couple of basic steps. With a couple of clicks you can also set up folders, modify the time zone with respect to your region, make an address book or create unique identities for any given e-mail address.
Webmail RoundCube in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of our semi-dedicated plans have a feature-rich webmail program named Roundcube, which can be reached either by typing its URL in your web browser and then entering the needed e-mail address, or by clicking on a certain e-mail account in the Emails part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. In either case, you will sign in to a user-friendly interface where you could handle your e-mails and folders, set up aliases or HTML signatures, adjust the time zone to the one you require, generate and use an address book, and much more. Roundcube can conveniently replace just about any desktop application. If you use the semi-dedicated account for hosting a domain of a company or an enterprise, you are able to create a customized URL with that domain name for the workers to access their emails, instead of our standard URL.

MySpace's Big-Wave Event
By Staff Published on .
Most Popular
Production: MySpace's live stream of the Maverick's big-wave surfing contest drew 300,000 viewers last weekend, making it the third-biggest streaming event in the Web site's history. The contest, held near Half Moon Bay, California, is called at the last minute every year, to ensure the surfers are on the break when the swell hits. Maverick Surf Ventures produced the video of the event, which was covered by a crew of about 15, manning five cameras. The parties involved declined to share budget information on the shoot.
Result: The average play time for viewers was 20 minutes, and the program is going to be turned into a 1 hour broadcast on FuelTV this summer. Later, it will be sold as a DVD. Due to the last-minute nature of the event (and Webcast) there wasn't a sponsor of the real-time stream, according to MySpace. The event's offline sponsors include Clif Bar, Surfer Magazine, Pinger, Storm Surf, Doc's Pro Plugs, Hard Rock, Hotline Wetsuits, The Corporate Law Group, Capture Technologies, Reactor and MySpace.

Gerard takes gold in slopestyle event
17-year-old has impressive final run to stun the world’s best
Photo courtesy of | American snowboarder Red Gerard captured the first gold medal for the United States and became the youngest medalist since 1928 alongside fellow American snowboarder and gold medal winner Chloe Kim.
The 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang got off to a roaring start as 17-year-old American Red Gerard earned a gold medal in the snowboarding slopestyle event, which was televised Saturday night.
Gerard is originally from Rocky River, Ohio, but moved to Silverthorne, Colo., when he was 8 years old. He began snowboarding at the age of 2.
In Pyeongchang, he was up against the world’s stiffest competition: a pair of Canadian snowboarders, Max Parrot and Mark McMorris, who ended up taking home the silver and bronze medals, respectively.
Gerard was also up against Norwegian Marcus Kleveland, who has won the same event at the Winter X Games the last two years and was heavily favored in this event.
McMorris, 24, won both the slopestyle and big air competition in the 2015 Winter X Games held annually in Aspen, Colo.
The slopestyle final allowed qualifying riders to complete three runs, and the best score from those runs counted as the final score.
Gerard was part of the second heat of the qualifying rounds and advanced as the third-place finisher in that heat. Based on event rules, the top six finishers in each heat advanced to the final round.
Gerard became the embodiment of the saying “the third time’s the charm” after scoring a medicore 43.33 and a 46.40 in his first two runs.
However, his fortune would change on his third and final run when Gerard etched his name into American history as he captured the gold medal by scoring a whopping 87.16.
With the gold medal finish, Gerard became the youngest American male athlete to medal at the Winter Olympics since 1928.
Gerard will also compete in another event, the Big Air competition, which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Feb. 21.
Chloe Kim, a 17-year-old Korean-American snowboarder, also took home a gold medal in the women’s halfpipe event, crushing the competition with a score of 93.75.

Game On: Roger vs. Rafael - Sports Illustrated Vault |

Game On: Roger vs. Rafael
With his conquest of Roger Federer in Paris, teen sensation Rafael Nadal announced the onset of a fascinating new tennis rivalry. Next episode, Wimbledon
They tried something different at the French Open this year and crowned the men's champion on a Friday. The day before Justine Henin-Hardenne made paillard out of Mary Pierce to win the women's trophy, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal played for the men's title. It was tennis's most anticipated match of the year, pitting the Swiss colossus who's ruled the roost for the past two years against the charismatic Spanish man-child who's hijacked the sport in recent months. ¶ The atmosphere was electric, but the match did not meet expectations, not least because Federer was far from his best. After the last of the top seed's many errant forehands sailed beyond the baseline, Nadal collapsed euphorically on his back, coating himself with red clay. The capacity crowd and Nadal's sizable entourage erupted. On his 19th birthday Nadal had won the French Open, the first Grand Slam title of his promising career. Oh, he had to formalize matters on Sunday, returning to Roland Garros to beat Mariano Puerta of Argentina, 6-7, 6-3, 6-1, 7-5, in the actual final. But that match, stirring as it often was, smacked of anticlimax, an exercise akin to signing your name correctly after acing the SAT. "Beating Federer," Nadal conceded, "maybe that was the ultimate, no?" ¶ Yes. By beating the 23-year-old Federer in the semifinals, Nadal validated the considerable hype he's been generating and put the capstone on his 2005 clay-court tear, winning his fourth straight title with crushed brick underfoot. The two players also confirmed a full-fledged rivalry, which had been missing in men's tennis for years. As Federer won three majors in 2004, he played so sublimely that he often reduced opponents to mere foils for his brilliance. He went more than a year without losing to another top 10 player. Even the ATP's in-house documentary, Facing Federer, is premised on the top player's peerlessness. ¶ Nadal, it seems, has filled the void. He started Friday's match by electing to return-an audacious move for a teenager to pull on the world No. 1-and broke Federer's serve. For the next four sets he blasted away from the baseline, his heavy balls raising sprays of dust as they bounced. Nadal's southpaw slugging so infuriated Federer that he swore at himself in three languages and stared balefully at his racket as though it were failing him. And as the match tightened, it was Nadal who showed superior guts. "I was just too much up and down," says Federer, "but that definitely had something to do with the opponent."
Fueling the rivalry, the two players' styles offer a distinct contrast: the artistry of Federer versus the brute force of Nadal. Just as Federer prefers fast courts but can win on clay, Nadal relishes the dirt-even his skin is almost exactly the complexion of the terre battue-but his game translates well to other surfaces. The two men have played three times, and not only has Nadal won twice, but he also was two points from winning the other match, a five-set nail-biter on a hard court in Miami in April. "Federer is in a new position," says Mats Wilander, the retired three-time French Open champion. "He has to answer the question, How can I beat this guy?"
Paris provided few answers. You're not going to overpower Nadal. Trying to attack the net on him can be a fool's errand, as Federer can attest after watching passing shot after passing shot whistle by him at Roland Garros. Patiently rallying with him won't work either: Last week Nadal drew as many ooh-la-la's for his defensive scrambling as for his heavy hitting. Finally, you're unlikely to rattle the kid. Even when Nadal played two French opponents, Richard Gasquet and Sebastien Grosjean, in front of 15,000 rowdy partisans in Paris, he was unflappable. "Playing against me is probably not so easy," he says in a rare departure from modesty. "Luckily, I'll never have to do it."
Nadal is the rare tennis player who embraces his stardom. He was omnipresent in the players' lounge last week, shaking hands, slapping backs and working the room like a politician. He obliged countless autograph seekers and smiled genuinely as he posed for photos with every Tom, Dick and Henri brandishing a camera phone. "Rafael is so intense when he plays," says Pau Gasol, the Memphis Grizzlies' forward, who was in Paris last week to cheer on his fellow Spaniard, "but really, he's just a laid-back kid having a great time."
Nadal's insouciance contrasts sharply with Henin-Hardenne's disposition, which ranges from businesslike to ruthless. Let others dabble with outside interests, as the fading Williams sisters do. Let others gobble up endorsements, the specialty of Maria Sharapova. Let others win the locker-room Miss Congeniality award, a dead heat between Lindsay Davenport and Kim Clijsters. Henin-Hardenne wants only to win matches, something she does with startling frequency. Since recovering from a viral infection and a knee injury and returning to the tour in March after a seven-month absence, she's won four of the five tournaments she's played. She's also won four of the last seven Grand Slam events she's entered.
The Belgian's life has been shaped by tragedy and misfortune. An older sister was killed by a drunk driver before Justine was born. Their mother, Françoise, died of intestinal cancer when Justine was 12. For reasons Justine doesn't care to discuss, she is estranged from her father, Jose, and two brothers. This has all, well, hardened her for any challenge tennis could ever throw her way. "I wouldn't have my same personality if I wouldn't have lost my mom pretty early and all these other things," she says. "It's bad in a way, very sad in a way, but that made me stronger."
Henin-Hardenne may stand only 5'6", but she hits as powerfully as any of tennis's so-called Big Babes. It is her toughness, however, that might be the most feared weapon in women's tennis right now. Down match point to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round in Paris, Henin-Hardenne played unflustered tennis and won in three sets. She then rolled over Sharapova and Nadia Petrova, singlehandedly undoing the much-publicized Russian Revolution in women's tennis. Henin-Hardenne completed her run by brutalizing Pierce in the final, 6-1, 6-1. But even as she led 3-0 in the second set, she still questioned line calls and pumped herself up with her battle cry, "Allez!"
Henin-Hardenne and Nadal left Paris riding his-and-hers 24-match winning streaks, and they'll try to tighten their grips on pro tennis during the grass-court season. If Henin-Hardenne is to win Wimbledon, the only major to elude her, she'll need to use her net game, which got little practice last week. But she is still the player to beat. Nadal's power and athleticism make him an intriguing Wimbledon prospect, but with less time to set up his shots on grass than on clay, he won't be the favorite. "I can't challenge for the title-the truth is the truth," Nadal says. "I need to improve some things in my game for better play on grass." But, he adds, "Wimbledon is a definite ambition for me, and one day I want to win it."
As for Federer, he is the two-time defending champion and will arrive in London as the betting choice. But as he heads to his favorite tournament on his preferred surface, his air of invincibility has dissipated. Touted by some to win all four majors in 2005, he's now 0-2. On Friday night, ever the professional, he took ownership of the loss. Still, it was as tough a defeat as he'd ever suffered. It was nearing midnight when Federer finally left the grounds of Roland Garros. His bag slung on his shoulder, he walked slowly with his head down, tugging and retugging at his baseball cap, trying perhaps to dislodge that Spanish teenager who has, unmistakably, gotten into his head.
"Rafael is so intense when he plays," says Pau Gasol, who was in Paris to cheer on his fellow Spaniard, "but really, he's just a laid-back kid HAVING A GREAT TIME."
Nadal subdued Federer (left) last Friday, then received gripping congratulations from King Juan Carlos (inset) after Sunday's final.

Trump congratulates Putin on resounding victory
President Trump congratulated Putin on his re-election victory over a phone call as Trump informed the media that both US and Russia will get along well in the near future. Kremlin confirmed the call from President Trump. World leaders across the horizon have shied away from congratulating Putin as the victory when Russia had been accused by Britain in a terrible spy-poisoning case in which military grade Novichok nerve agent was used which was originally developed in Russia in 1970s.
In addition, there is a general notion, that the elections under strict state control and the leading opponent of Putin were banned from standing in the elections.
Both Trump and Putin also discussed issues like Syria, Ukraine, North Korea etc. and also a meeting in future at the highest level. The conversation was positive and aimed at easing tensions which have mounted between the two world powers lately. The arms race, the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and mutual security priorities along with shared efforts on strategic stability were discussed.
