If you are attempting to attain a curvy figure or a larger butt, it's very likely that you're an ectomorph. "Low fat genetics" or "low-fat genetics" are generally associated with this physique.
In case you've got low muscle genetics, then it's extremely easy to overtrain your own muscles. Should you overtrain your muscles, or when you pay no attention to nourishment at all, you may be causing your muscles, and so your buttocks, to get much smaller. It is a condition that your entire body moves through or shortly after exercise. If your exercise takes long enough to your body to operate out of energy, then you are going to go into the catabolic state and your body will start to break down muscle tissue to be able to compensate for this lack of vitality. If you are attempting to shed weight, this would not be much a issue, as you'll burn a great deal of fat within this condition too. But if your objective is to acquire a larger ass, you would not need this. In the end, we need our own bodies to gain weightreduction.
Now, ectomorphs that have difficulty gaining weight or seeking to accomplish a curvy figure do not necessarily have "real" low-fat genetics. It is genetics to get a higher metabolism, which leads to difficulty gaining mass. Whenever you've got a high metabolism and also you don't eat sufficient fats (healthy ones), you are a lot more likely to always be dwelling in a catabolic state in which you are always burning muscle and fat rather than attaining any curvy figure.

Playing It Cool
Mark Twain once said that "the clothes make the man", and while the great writer certainly had a point, I would take the more controversial view of "the man makes the clothes". But hang on? Does this mean I can dress like a tramp and make it work for me? Alas, no, being stylish is the ultimate paradox, you must take great care to put yourself together and then completely forget you're wearing clothes at all - it's a hard line to tread and many a man gets it wrong. The life of effortless cool brings is achievable for every man to grasp if he wants, regardless of whether he lives in Dublin or Paris.
The essence of 'cool' is an elusive thing. Nobody quite know what it is, it has no single agreed upon definition, and yet it is a phenomena that transcends both generations and cultures - it is timeless. People certainly know it when they see it, as we've all seen someone in a bar, at work or even on the bus that just seemed to ooze this thing we call cool from every pore. That being said, this intrepid blog writer is going to attempt to define 'cool', at least in relation to fashion; I think cool is a supreme self assurance, not arrogance or cockiness, but an inner confidence, one that makes you firmly believe what you're wearing looks good, that you look good, so good in fact that you don't even need to acknowledge you look good, it's just the way it is. Effortless.
Here I have picked some examples of men that I personally think achieved this elusive attitude, it is no way comprehensive and there are numerous others. On the left we have the one and only James Dean, then Frank Sinatra, followed by the very talented Mr. Steve McQueen. Directly under James Dean we have Paul Newman, with Mr. Marlon Brando in the center and then last but certainly not least, Johnny Depp. Who would your choices be? Pick anyone from the past or present.
Back to Mark Twain again, while the man and the attitude behind the clothes are important, the man better have some stylish clothes otherwise he is only half the style icon he wishes to be. Whilst there is no strict look that encapsulates the attitude; there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Like Yves Saint Laurent once said: "Fashions fade, style is eternal". Invest in timeless pieces, wear your clothes with confidence, dress on trend and like my last post suggested, be individual, the crowd should be following you.
So there you have it, a quick guide to cool and not to much reading for you before you kick off your weekend. Of course there are no absolutes and it comes down to personal preference, but I believe that it's an achievable state of mind and style for everyone. It takes a lot of guts, a lot of smarts and a hell of a lot of charisma, but get the clothes right, then the attitude will follow. Once the attitude is there, then all the clothes you wear are set off in what can only be described as a stylish symphony of ultimate cool. A very wise man, Lewis MacAdams, once said "Cool is a knowledge, a way of life."

The Arctic Ocean, explained
This map shows a 2.8-million-square-kilometre area of international waters in the central Arctic Ocean, beyond the 200-mile zone of the five Arctic coastal states: Canada, Russia, Norway, the U.S. (Alaska) and Denmark (Greenland).
From National Geographic by Sarah Gibbens
The Arctic Ocean is Earth's northernmost body of water.
It encircles the Arctic, and flows beneath it.
Most of the Arctic Ocean is covered by ice throughout the year—although that is starting to change as temperatures climb.
Pale and stark on the surface, the Arctic Ocean is home to a stunning array of life.
Though it's the world's smallest ocean—spanning 6.1 million square miles—the Arctic is now receiving unprecedented international attention.
Scientists are racing to understand how warming temperatures will alter Arctic Ocean waters—and by extension the rest of the climate—and world leaders are racing to control newly opening waters.
The Arctic Ocean is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth and feeling the onslaught of climate change.
Arctic movie trailer
Who lives there?
The U.S., Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Russia all have territories that reach into the Arctic Ocean.
About four million people live in the Arctic region, many of them indigenous groups that have thrived there for millennia.
To survive in the harsh climate, many of the region's people rely on the ocean's bounty to sustain their livelihoods.
This includes fishing, sealing, whaling, and other activities.
The Arctic's otherworldly landscapes are also increasingly drawing tourists to the region.
As once impenetrable sea ice becomes less stable, Northern Hemisphere countries have begun to take a greater interest in the Arctic as a path for shipping lanes, military presence, and commercial opportunities, particularly oil and gas exploration.
Ocean life
Much of the Arctic Ocean's complex life can only be seen by underwater explorers who dive through holes in thick sea ice.
Much of the ocean here is dark, blocked from sunlight by ice cover, but photographers have dived with lights to expose underwater Arctic life.
Scientists note that studying life in the Arctic Ocean can be difficult because the region is hard to access.
Much is still unknown about the Arctic's marine food web.
Plankton—a group that consists of tiny organisms like algae and bacteria—make up the base of the Arctic food chain.
They convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into organic matter that in turn feeds everything from small fish to large bowhead whales.
Growing inside the tunnels naturally carved into sea ice are plankton-eating zooplankton.
Even farther below are bottom-dwelling organisms like sea anemones, corals, and sponges.
Many animals that are often seen roaming the sea ice are also adapted for the water.
Polar bears have large, paddle-like paws to propel them through the water, and they've been documented swimming for hours.
Walruses have large tusks that they use to pull themselves out of the water, and they find much of their food by foraging along the sea floor.
Whales and fish are often an important food source for indigenous people living in the Arctic, but commercial fishing has been banned in much of the Arctic Ocean.
In 2018 the U.S.
and nine other countries formally recognized that warming was creating new access to fishing stocks.
In response, the 10 countries agreed to a moratorium that bars fishing until scientists are able to assess whether Arctic Ocean fisheries can be used sustainably.
On 13 March 2019, Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its annual maximum extent.
At 14.78 million square kilometers, it is the seventh lowest in the satellite record.
It wasn’t a record low, but it continued a trend of declining sea ice maximums and minimums.
The 2019 maximum extent is 860,000 square kilometers below the 1981 to 2010 average maximum of 15.64 million square kilometers and 370,000 square kilometers above the lowest maximum of 14.41 million square kilometers set on 7 March 2017.

A warming Arctic
The Arctic Ocean is experiencing some of the world's most drastic warming from climate change.
In recent years, scientists have measured dwindling ice cover as record high temperatures inch up and up.
One 2016 study predicted that ships would be able to sail through open water to the North Pole by 2040.
The loss of sea ice will affect more than just the Arctic, scientists warn; it could change weather patterns around the world.
Some have even predicted it could lead to colder, more extreme winters.
A jet stream called the polar vortex encircles the Arctic, propelled forward by the difference between cold temperatures to the north and warm temperatures to the south.
As the Arctic warms, scientists say the polar vortex will become more unstable and likely to send Arctic air south.
In 2018, the Arctic Ocean experienced its second-worst sea ice decline on record.
Parts of Greenland were exposed to open ocean for the first time in millennia.
Scientists predict that warming waters could hurt wildlife.
Terrestrial animals like polar bears rely on sea ice to traverse the landscape in search of food and to hunt, particularly seals.
Warming will likely impact zooplankton life cycles, and thus the myriad animals that prey on them.
This video discusses who owns the ever-warming Arctic Ocean, which surrounds the North Pole of Earth.
Find out how as the Arctic melts, it opens up new possibilities for fishing, drilling and shipping.
But who owns the Arctic?
And who gets access to these resources?
Discover how Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) dictate the delegation of natural resources in the Arctic Ocean, and how the United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea (UNCLOS) can create more disputes than answers when countries have overlapping territorial claims in the Arctic Circle.
The new Cold War
The Arctic was once covered with a formidable mass of ice that posed a steep challenge to shipping.
Now, as the Arctic Ocean warms and opens up, the race to control it is creating what some are calling a second Cold War.
Shipping lanes through the Arctic Ocean could creating faster routes between countries, leading to fortune and power for those who control them.
The U.S. and Canada both have a military presence in the Arctic, and China has recently expressed interest in expanding its influence there.
But Russia and Norway have done the most to prepare their militaries and industry for more passable Arctic Ocean waters.
The Trump administration has also pushed to launch oil drilling in the U.S. waters of the Arctic.
The complex maritime boundaries in the Arctic
Yet conservation groups like the World Wildlife Fund say expanding drilling for oil in the Arctic could further imperil the relatively pristine, and fragile, environment.
Underwater noise from drilling can disrupt the many marine animals that rely on sonar or acoustic communication, the group says.
And oil or gas spills—always a risk of industry operations—may be particularly hard to clean up and may have long-lasting effects in the cold climate.
Several nations are vying for access to a new Northwest Passage, one that could run from Greenland across Canada to Alaska.
It's a route explorers have been trying to navigate since at least the 15th century, but its treacherous, icy conditions have always stood in their way.
In August 2007, the passage was free of sea ice for the first time on record.

'Survivor: One World' recap: Transience
'Survivor: One World' Episode 1: Salani Tribe
Following Jonas's elimination, Troy and Jay lament the unfortunate fact that he was not on the new Salani tribe, using that as an excuse for why they voted him out. However, Troy hopes that they didn't make a mistake going forward, and the two men decide that a woman needs to go home next in order to avoid a female alliance. Little do they know, one formed long ago!
Walking back to camp, Troy and Jay grab a message in an old 7-Up bottle - today's tree mail. Jay reads the note aloud, which alludes to the fact that the reward challenge will offer a "crisp, clean" prize. Obvious sponsorship placement or random weird Survivor thing? Who can say? Either way, everyone heads down to the beach for Jeff to explain the day's challenge.
He reveals that players will be divided up into two tribes, with each racing one at a time down a giant water slide, after which they must race to the ocean and bring back a puzzle crate. As more and more come down the slide, they may work together to grab all crates - 5 in total. They must use the pieces in each of the creates to solve a puzzle, with the winning tribe being taken to a "7-Up Oasis" - basically an afternoon barbeque with hamburgers, key lime pie (a bit random) and as much of the soda as they can drink.
'Survivor: One World' castaways: Jay Byars, a model currently living in Gaffney, South Carolina
The tribes are divided up as follows: Jay, Troy, Kat, Alicia and Chelsea on one team with Kim, Michael, Sabrina, Lief and Christina on the other. Tarzan decides to sit this one out. Jay's group moves ahead first, though Michael's isn't far behind. It's neck-in-neck and no one seems to be letting up. Once they begin working on their puzzle, it's obvious that Jay's team is progressing more quickly. However, the pattern of the puzzle is difficult to discern, so it's really anyone's guess. Eventually, however, it's Michael's team that gets it first, thanks to Christina, and they win the afternoon barbeque.
The winners' oasis is quite nice - like a mini resort set up in the middle of the jungle. Everyone begins to dig in, putting food on the grill and hanging out in the mini pool. Eventually, they join under a gazebo for prayer and to enjoy their reward. Kim is especially pleased with the meal, as she was feeling really weak and believes she will finally be able to get her strength up and think through her options.
After eating, Sabrina and Kim attempt to talk strategy. Sabrina wants Mike out, with Kim saying that it has got to be all girls that move forward. They believe that if they can convince the others to get Mike out, then the girls will eventually be able to "annihilate" the men in the competition. However, Kim knows that she will have to be careful - even though she can barely contain her enthusiasm at the possibility.
Back at the camp, the losers try to convince themselves that it's better they've not won the challenge, with Tarzan insisting that steak would be "hard to digest" on their stomachs. He has a point, mind, but it's a pretty obvious coping tactic. They all begin to talk about who's going home at Tribal Council. Jay realizes that the girls want to send Mike home, but he wants to put the idea on the back burner and tries to steer them away from it. Before they get too far, however, the winners return with an entire cooler full of 7-Up to share with the group.
'Survivor: One World' castaways: Chelsea Meissner, a medical sales rep currently living in Charleston, South Carolina
Later that day, a storm is brewing and so the group realizes they must re-fortify their shelter before the rough weather rolls in. However, a bit of an argument ensues when Tarzan angers the others by removing part of the bamboo wall to cut for firewood, despite there being an entire stack of firewood already cut. Tarzan insists that it's not a part of the wall and tells Chelsea not to have an attitude with him, or accuse him of doing something wrong when he hasn't.
Tarzan then takes Chelsea aside as he senses that he's "an irritant" to her. He questions whether she dislikes him because she had a negative experience with her own plastic surgeon - a question which doesn't go over well with her. The conversation is cut short, however, once the rain begins, and Chelsea says that while she can't stand Tarzan, he's not a threat and she must concentrate her energy on players who are.
Privately, Kim talks to Troy, lying about Michael and saying that he has been throwing Troy under the bus and making him out to be a threat. She pretends to be concerned for his place in the game and insists that they should get Michael out - a plan which he agrees to go along with as he's incredibly angry. However, they don't want Michael to catch wind of what's happening and keep quiet about it.
Once the weather clears, the Tikiano members meet Jeff on the beach once again for the day's immunity challenge. He reveals that they will have to race across a ladder bridge, navigating a series of puzzle bags along a twisting rope. The first four to reach the finish line will move on to the final round, where they will use the pieces to solve a "very complicated" puzzle. The first person to do it will go straight through Tribal Council and cannot be voted off.
'Survivor: One World' castaways: Michael Jefferson, a banker currently living in Seattle, Washington
Jay is the first one who will get to move on, with Kim close behind. With only two spots left, it's Alicia and Troy who manage to make it across. They then begin working on the puzzle, though it proves more difficult than anyone seems to have expected. Everyone is neck in neck, with the most minor mistakes making room for others to catch up. However, it comes down to Kim and Jay for the win, and it's Jay who takes it first, winning immunity.
Following the challenge, Kim sets back on her course to try and get Mike out. She's pretty certain that she can turn events in her favor, but Jay is not having it as she said it in front of Christina and Alicia, who are Manono tribe members. However, he will go along with it because he's afraid that if he doesn't, the girls will overtake him. It's a pretty smart observation.
Kim is not happy, though, as she wants Mike to think that Salani is all in and the others have ruined it by bringing Mike up. Kim is concerned about he possible "major uproar" that could result by voting off Mike and wonders if they should instead vote off Christina to keep Salani strong. However, no one can seem to come to a decision.
At Tribal, Mike is eliminated with five votes. "I knew going into it that at some point, it'd be guys versus girls. Unfortunately, it started tonight," he said following his exit. "I came into the game too hot and have been backpedaling ever since.
"I've talked to all the women and thought I had a good thing with them but I didn't. I thought I could trust so many women out here, but that just wasn't the case."

As college looms closer and closer, filling summer break with internships, part-time jobs, and standardized testing seems to become of greater importance than laying on the beach and letting time drift away with the sea salt breeze.
In reality though, being productive 24/7 is pretty much impossible. Your body and mind will be so worn out that you will not be as productive as you want.
So before booking 1,000+ hours to building your resume, you should also plan some time to relax and cool your head. Even if you are not going on vacation, you can have a relaxing time right at home.
Some mental-health boosts could come from finding a room in your house that you rarely go into and reading a book in your new reading nook. Or going outside and doing some gardening to get some fresh air, clear your head, and get a nice tan. There are so many options if you look for them.
But make sure it is complete relaxation by spending it with your phone away. An hour without your phone may seem unusual or even uncomfortable at first, but the satisfaction gained is much greater.
Relaxation is also maximized when you are surrounded by nature. Even without meditation, being in nature encapsulated by the sounds of the birds, creatures, and the howling of the wind does wonders.
It brings people back down and allows a sort of meditation of peace without even a conscious effort to meditate.
After a walk in Sharon Woods or time in my backyard, I never felt that it was a waste of time, but rather, time well spent because I felt happier afterward.
However, I am not encouraging you to burn all your applications and summer homework on the spot. Many are panicking to improve their resumes and stress is piling high, so it is important to find balance and relax a little.
In reality, relaxation can promote productivity and is necessary to keep yourself from going crazy.
Imagine having a job that will pay you millions of dollars with little to no degree, allow early retirement, gain millions of fans, and allows endorsements which add on millions of more dollars on top of your salary. This is the reality in the word of professional sports.
It is mind-blowing to me that individuals can receive copious amounts of money, more than they can ever spend in their lifetime, for simply playing a sport or being apart of a team.
According to the Forbes “World’s Highest-Paid Athletes” chart, Cristiano Ronaldo, soccer player, and LeBron James, basketball player, are the winners raking in almost 200 million dollars between the two of them. However, Ronaldo gets paid 93 million compared to LeBron’s 86.2 million. Still, an unnecessary amount of money.
Why is it necessary to reward these individuals for their performance? I bet athletes would compete just as stellar receiving five or even one million dollars to play pro.
Could you imagine what would happen if the relished Sunday night football games or March Madness frenzy where millions of Americans cram themselves into sweaty sports bars and gather around jumbo t.v. screens suddenly vanished?
We treat athletes like they are up on a pedestal and will do whatever we can to preserve them for our entertainment. Almost like movie stars, we idolize them and therefore compensate them heavily for remaining in our lives.
Endorsements are a major percentage of how athletes receive additional income. This is an incredibly powerful marketing strategy because sports are so deeply woven into American culture. We crave the approval of athletes so much that LeBron received 55 million dollars alone just from endorcements.
Sports are the bread and butter of American culture. We prove that constantly with our wallet.

Gratitude Day 10:
I'm thankful for family vacations. I've been so blessed to be able to have so many wonderful trips that have brought me many memories. I'm so thankful for them and all they offer me.
I'm grateful for my special talent of deal shopping. I owe it to my mom, she's who taught me. I've just taken it to the extreme. I'm glad I can get good deals so my husband and I our able to save but still have things.

Rules are rules: potential world record bass denied
I haven't posted anything in a really long time here... but the great thing about a blog like this is everything is pretty much the same as when I left it. Hopefully I'll be making more frequent contributions here, and hopefully some of my followers are still out there.
Most of the content I have shared on my blog is entirely original. In order for me to share somebody else's video, it has to be pretty special. I felt like this video qualifies. It's currently trending on YouTube. I saw it last week when it was only a couple of days old. Now it has been seen by more than 125,000 viewers.
If you like seeing big bass, then this should be enough to make you drool. Take a few minutes to enjoy seeing a truly special fish.
The video brings up a couple of really interesting points.
1. If you want to catch a world record fish and submit it to IGFA, you better follow the rules. In this case weighing the fish in a boat on the water (and not on dry land) cost the angler a world record.
2. The fish in question is not a Spotted Bass (Micropterus punctulatus). The fish is an Alabama Bass (M. henshalli)- formerly Alabama Spotted Bass (M. p. henshalli). For details on current taxonomy see the following paper: "The Alabama Bass, Micropterus henshalli (Teleostei: Centrarchidae), from the Mobile River basin."
I seriously doubt you will see point #2 discussed anywhere else, but it's of great interest to me as a biologist and an Alabama fisherman. The "Spotted Bass" swimming in most of the state's waters, except the Tennessee River drainages, aren't just any old Spotted Bass anymore. They were long considered to be a unique subspecies of Spotted Bass, but as is often the story with the classification and taxonomy of living organisms, things have changed. In this case, the Alabama variety of Spotted Bass has been elevated to full species status.
So... you may be wondering how I know (or at least why I believe) the fish in the video is an Alabama Bass.
Well... it is pretty well known that the reservoirs of California that are well known for their "Spotted Bass" fishing were originally stocked with fish from Alabama. As a matter of fact, if you do a little research, you will find out that the first "Spotted Bass" stocked in California's Perris Lake originated from Lewis Smith Lake- "Fishing Through Life" Bill's home water. I should also add that the two species of bass just don't even really look alike... but that's just my opinion. Anyone who has caught true Northern Spotted Bass should be able to see that the giant from California just doesn't look like the fish they've caught. The differences which actually distinguish the two species are obviously a bit more technical than just general appearances... but to me it's obvious.
I seriously doubt anything will change with IGFA anytime soon, but based on the current state of taxonomy, there should now be two separate world records for Northern Spotted Bass (M. punctulatus) and Alabama Bass (M. henshalli). Considering that the current world record for "Spotted Bass" is from a California reservoir it is highly likely to actually be an Alabama Bass. Who knows what the largest true Northern Spotted that was ever caught might have been? It's essentially a record that has been lost... one that for now doesn't even exist. I don't expect the fishing community at large or the IGFA to immediately pick up on new taxonomy when it is first introduced, but to me it makes fishing just a bit more interesting. One of my favorite things about fishing is catching as many different species as possible. Adding another unique species to the lifelist of species I've caught is good stuff.
If you have any questions or want to debate taxonomy or whatever, please leave a comment below. I'm looking forward to reconnecting with my readers.

Hi Andrew, it seems like a relatively complicated setup with many variables (ie potential sources of error) to control. Here are some additional things to consider:
-Reciprocity failure: Assuming I'm following your methodology correctly, reciprocity failure will have a greater influence as exposure time increases (since you are doing separate exposures). This could help explain the flattening of the highlights. It is best to eliminate reciprocity failure from the test. Using an enlarger as the light source for an in-camera test is problematic because of the relatively low level of illumination.
-Lens extension: For an in-camera test it would be best to focus the lens at infinity. Focusing on your close target means the lens is likely extended enough to require exposure compensation versus the handheld meter.
-Half-stop resolution: If you have limited materials, and given the variables involved, I'd suggest doing the test in full stops to simplify things. You can interpolate between points. Alternatively - if you contact a step tablet you could plot the full curve in 1/2 stops or 1/3 stops using only 2 or three frames of film. It's not an in-camera test, but it eliminates many variables, including flare.

Technology is catching up to the promise
Video capturing devices are changing the way we see events unfolding. It may be catching up to the promise of defending democracy through citizen involvement.
After speaking to Gautham about it, and then reading his post on the Libyan protests, it occurred to me that video technology is really catching up to the promises of citizen journalism.
The disturbing footage of protesters walking into gunfire is unlike anything I have ever seen. As was the footage of the US military helicopter crew shooting and killing people. Even here in the United States, we had footage of Oscar Grant being killed, taking with mobile devices. These kinds of video show the reality of the situation, much more so than, “30 killed and countless wounded”.
More so than the supposed importance of social networks in coordinating protests (in countries where the primary problems are economic issues that are prohibitive to have access to said networks in the first place), the images and feeds we get from people on the ground are really breaking through the sanitized media filter we are used to.
It gives me hope, because so often technology looks like it is just going to be used to track and target us, but when cameras can be made small and cheap, tyranny can’t catch people off guard for long. As a person living the a “first world” country, it is my responsibility to ensure that technology continues to free people. On that note, check out the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Edit: Mike reminded me of Serval, which makes me happy on many levels. Imagine an international org passing out plug server routers that enable mesh communication networks. Oh, and check out Freedom Box.

Paris Ile-de-France History
Paris is more than 2,000 years old. Gauls of the Parisii tribe settled there between 250 and 200 BC and founded a fishing village on an island in the river that is the present-day Ile de la Cité - the center around which Paris developed.
Known as Lutetia (Lutece) in ancient times, Paris was conquered by Julius Caesar in 52 BC, and existed as a regional center under the Romans and in the early Middle Ages. In 987, Hugues Capet, Count of Paris, became king of France, and under his successors, the Capetians, the city's position as the nation's capital became established.
Often characterized as spirited and rebellious, the people of Paris first declared themselves an independent commune under the leadership of Etienne Marcel in 1355-58. The storming of the Bastille in 1789 was the first of a series of key actions by the Parisian people during the French revolution. Paris also played a major role in the revolutions of 1830 and 1848. In 1871, during the Franco-prussian war, the city was besieged for four months until France surrendered. After German troops withdrew, French radicals briefly established the commune of Paris. During World War I the Germans were prevented from reaching Paris, but they occupied the city during World War II from 1940 to 1944. Paris was again the scene of violence during the student riots of 1968.
Paris today maintains its importance, character, and charm, though its appearance is being transformed by structures such as Beaubourg and by the ambitious building program carried out under the presidency of François Mitterrand. In addition to the La Défense arch and the Bastille Opéra, Mitterrand's projects have included the renovation of the Louvre museum by architect I. M. Pei, the La Villette complex on the northeastern edge of the city, and, in the southeast, the Bibliothèque de France, a great computer-age library.
Planning for Paris and the Paris Basin region includes consideration of large land areas in the Seine River valley all the way to the mouth of the river. New towns, parks, industrial locations, and expanded functions of existing towns are contemplated for this corridor on both sides of the Seine.

pre orders
Next Story
The Good, Bad, And Ugly Of Obamacare’s Online Price Comparison Site
There’s an increasing opportunity in helping hardware startups bring their products to market, and Toronto ecommerce startup ShopLocket has identified a key area in that process where they might be able to help out, and pick up some new business in the process. The company is introducing its new pre-order platform at the Glazed Wearable conference in San Francisco today, giving hardware startups and product-based companies a way to book sales of devices before they ever hit the production lines.
Often companies like Pebble will launch on Kickstarter, bringing in considerable interest from an early adopter crowd during a campaign that could span a month or two. But then there’s a big gap between the end of those campaigns and the actual ship date of their product, and in that gap you run the risk of losing a lot of the publicity steam built up during the crowdfunding phase.
shoplocket-screenshot-attach-checkoutPebble launched its own pre-order portal, and others like the Thalmic Labs MYO armband just started right out the gate with an open-ended pre-order period, but often that can take a lot of work and building your own platform, as Lockitron did. ShopLocket wants to make all of those things easier, adding support for pre-order campaigns to its lightweight storefront platform.
“ShopLocket can either be used as an alternative to Kickstarter or Indiegogo for an initial launch, [or] it can be used after a crowdfunding campaign to allow companies to continue collecting pre-orders,” ShopLocket founder and CEO Katherine Hague explained in an interview. “When used as a replacement to traditional crowdfunding platforms, ShopLocket could be considered an elegant plug-and-play alternative to something like Selfstarter [Lockitron's in-house tool, which it released for others to use].”
Already, ShopLocket’s platform has been quietly helping companies debut and build continued interest in their products. ECG identification tech wearable Nymi used it to fund their device Kickstarter-style, and others including Nomiku and GlassUp are now running their pre-order campaigns with it, after having successfully raised funds on other platforms. Selfstarter campaigns require ample setup and knowledge of code, while ShopLocket’s system is fully customizable with a graphic interface that even total coding amateurs can manage.
To power the payments part of its new service, ShopLocket has turned to Stripe, which it chose over competing options like PayPal and Amazon Payments for a number of reasons.
“For our sellers, the process of creating a Stripe account is incredibly easy [and] we are in the process of further optimizing the seller flow, so that sellers don’t even have to sign up with Stripe until they actually want to start charging on pre-orders — something not possible with PayPal or Amazon,” Hague said. “For buyers, Stripe is actually a more accessible platform than PayPal or Amazon, which generally require accounts to make a purchase. Stripe will allow buyers to checkout with a simple credit card form, no account required.”
shoplocket-screenshot-product-creationStripe also offers native design integration, so buyers aren’t shuttled away to a separate site and then shuttled back in to complete the transaction, which is a big advantage in terms of decreasing cart abandonment rates and generally providing an experience that businesses can control in every respect.
I wondered whether this emerging market segment might not be a little too niche for ShopLocket to focus much attention on, but Hague says there’s plenty of interest already, and that’s also growing at a rapid clip. So far, they’ve found over 500 projects launched launched in products and hardware every month, which represent tens of millions of dollars raised.
“This represents only a small segment of the overall market,” Hague adds. “For these companies, ShopLocket is a better solution than a traditional hosted storefront for the next phase of their business. We let them use any website, including their existing one, to grow from pre-orders to a full shopping cart over time. We believe that the next billion dollar storefront platform will be born from serving this rapidly growing market of new product creators.”

"No One Ever Visits, And I Think The Staff Is Stealing From Me," By Donald Trump
I don't like it here. I don't know why I had to leave my home in New York. When Steve made me do this he promised to visit every day, but now I don't see him. He's planning some sanctions or something with Mike, and I'm all alone here. Also, I'm certain one of the staff took my bathrobe the other day.
"The facility is really great, dad. You have everything you want." That's what Jared told me. "There's a pool, and the food is great, and we're going to make sure all the TVs get cable so you can watch Fox whenever you want." But I miss my family and friends, and the people at all the rallies. Why can't we go back to the way it was?
My phone disappeared the other day after some tweet I made, and then when I complained about it, it got magically "found" again. You think I don't know what's going on? I get confused sometimes, sure. I can't find the Situation Room, and I say "Yemen" when I'm talking about Iran. But I'm still sharp - my doctor said so. Now Sean Spicer talks to those reporters about me like I'm not even there. Do you know how that makes me feel?
I am a human being, okay? And I won the electoral vote! I demand some respect.
If they serve that nasty tapioca again, I'm completely going to threaten China with an airstrike. Then they'll start paying attention.
1. Do you mind if I share and link to this on Democratic Underground? I know the site wasn't always appreciative of your writing, but I think this is brilliant and many people there will love it.
1. Please do. Some people on the site gave me a hard time, but readers like you made it fun. You can ALWAYS link there. Don't have to ask beforehand. I think their rule is the first few paragraphs, and then a link or something?

Tumblring in Washington, DC
I happened to find myself in Washington DC this past week, as 9/11 bled into the horrifying murders of Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, security specialist Glenn Doherty and a fourth American whose name I don't think has been released.
Except for a quick visit to the Library of Congress archives three years ago, I had not been in the capital or capitol since a junior high school trip.
The first thing that struck me is the presence of the flag at half staff: unlike NYC, flags are omnipresent, and the constant visual reminder of the national deaths is very poignant.
Our national monuments are impressive, as they need to be to help with the nation building behind E Pluribus Unum. I enjoyed a nighttime bike tour to see their illuminated state, and then returned to see them during the day. That's when they come to life with thousands of visitors: particularly moving are the number of Asian visitors at the Vietnam Memorial, and the elderly veterans in wheelchairs with comrades and friends at the WWII memorial.
Here's my Tumblr-homage to the monuments of the District of Columbia.
Union Station; Jefferson; FDR with Eleanor; MLK; Lincoln; Korea; Vietnam; WWII; Washington; Memorial to the Japanese-American Patriotism in WWII, colloquially known as the Internment Memorial. The names of 10 internment camps are on one side, with the numbers of how many Japanese American were held. My guide said that as the war progressed and the army needed more fighters, men in the camps were conscripted. The names of the men from the camps who died in combat are listed in the bottom picture.

"Out of the Clear Blue Sky": The Story of Cantor Fitzgerald and 9/11
In August I attended some of the DocuDays films at IFC, and one that has stayed with me is Out of the Clear Blue Sky: it's an insider's look at the story of Cantor Fitzgerald and 9/11. With the distance of 10 years it tells the sad, unique story of this company and how people have picked up and moved on as they can from such personal devastation.
Cantor Fitzgerald is a financial services company that specializes in bond trading: it's one of twenty primary dealers who trade U.S. government securities directly with the Fed. In 2001 its corporate headquarters were floors 101 to 105 of the North Tower at the World Trade Center. When terrorists flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the tower, the Cantor people were 2 to 6 floors above impact. Of the 960 employees who worked there, the 658 people who were at their desk all died. The only Cantor employees who lived weren't at the office, or had left the floors for one reason or another.
The deaths from this one company were 24% of all WTC victims.
Filmmaker Danielle Gardner gained the trust of the company and the families to weave the many sides of the complicated overall story together very well: the rise, fall, and rise again of the CEO then and now, Howard Lutnick, who was often seen on TV in the days immediately following the attacks; how the executives regrouped and tried to see who was alive, who was dead, and in the next breath had to decide whether they would fold the company or try to go on; what it meant that they had to borrow $70 billion dollars, which they were given a very short time to pay back.
The story of the cold business of literally making money for people alongside the obscene loss of life gets at the very heart of the attacks. The Towers were targeted because of their connection to the very center of the capitalist system: this wasn't a museum, this is where much of the business of making money in a global economy took palace.
As distasteful as it might seem to be thinking of money at that time, to close the company would be giving the terrorists what they wanted. And so, while in complete shock, Lutnick—who lived because he happened to be taking his son to the first day of school that morning—–set up a crisis center at the Pierre Hotel in midtown for the families as he huddled with whomever was still alive to see if the company could remain open. In those first days relatives still hoped that loved ones would be found, and the agony and despair of that crisis center makes the enormity of the day easier to grasp for the viewer because of its personal level.
One ugly fact on the business side is the phone call the major bond companies had in the afternoon of the the 11th. Lutnick says that a major competitor pushed for the bond floor to reopen on Thursday, the 13. The stock exchange didn't reopen until the following Monday, and there was no reason the bond trades had to go earlier, except that the competitor was hoping to pick up some of the business that Cantor couldn't handle, if they came back on line at all. Yup, capitalism as cold-blooded as it gets.
Cantor did get back online on Thursday, just barely, and that side of the story is fascinating to see unfold told by the people who were there, completely parallel to what was going on in the family crisis center at the Pierre.
I don't remember Howard Lutnick on TV, crying. Apparently he went on nearly every morning/talk program in the week after the attacks. Then there was a controversy that Cantor stopped paychecks for the 658 the week after the attacks. There are nuances to the situation, which I'll leave to the film. But the company fairly quickly set up support groups for the families. First they did it by geography--North Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, etc---but they soon learned that people needed to be with those shared the same pain, and so it became Widows, Parents, Fiancees, Siblings, etc. All brought together because someone worked at a specific company.
The Cantor Culture
I experienced a small taste of the financial services culture myself. In the late 1980s I worked for a mutual fund company, Lord, Abbett & Co, as a shareholder reports writer/editor. Wall Street had a glamor back then, and I was curious.
Lord Abbett wasn't as high-powered as Cantor in my day. But the bond traders were connected to the world in a unique way at a time before the internet. Topical jokes went like lightening across their network, and it was a band of brothers, where women were few and far between. It was often a frat party atmosphere, but it was only the smartest guys and they who knew the stakes were very big and very serious. Hence Oliver Stone's Wall Street.
Cantor Fitzgerald was started in 1945 by B. Gerald Cantor and John Fitzgerald. From the stories from the surviving family members, you see Cantor as a company that encouraged bringing in qualified friends and siblings. That's why the number of parents who lost 2 children in the collapse was 27. Widows also lost brothers, because friends brought friends in and marriage ensued. 955 children lost a parent. 38 pregnant wives were left behind. It just can't be said enough: the personal toll of this one company is enormous, and the interviews with some of the parents 10 years out are some of the most poignant moments of the film. So calm, so eloquent, still in shock.
I hope Out of the Clear Blue Sky is shown on TV. The interviews with employees about what it was like to work up in the clouds as well as the attacks and aftermath are a valuable and important oral history. And the last shots of the film, which I won't give away, are very moving as they softly portray the important message, 11 years out: never forget.
Cantor Fitzgerald now has 1,700 employees. The terrorists just didn't get it: you can't kill an idea. Thank God.
A clip from the film.

Travels with Cadfael: The Songs of Elba
I wrote this in 2007 as part of the Cadfael travelogues, but it's really a 9/11 post about the first anniversary of the attacks.
All travel has undertones. At the very least, there is the underlying energy that propels you out the door in the first place. For me, this particular Italian trip was a traditional American vacation, where I got to vacate the city for a bit and take a break from the job that pays the bills . . . and the travels. It was a also a chance to spend some extended time with Cadfael, my Benedictine monk friend, sharing something special.
And it was a tiny exercise in courage with a quest for healing. Because I got on a plane, in New York City, on September 12, 2002, to go to Italy. At that time, at the one-year mark from the attacks, there was deep uncertainty about what might happen, especially where flying was concerned, and everyone kept moving and living as best they could.
That first anniversary in New York was sad and difficult after a shattering year. There were many memorials and tributes in the churches and temples as well as down at Ground Zero, which helped to respect the day. Many of the stores up and down Madison Avenue created simple, elegant tributes in their windows, either removing merchandise entirely or covering it with black velvet—with bouquets of flowers and signs that read “We Will Never Forget” and “You Are in Our Hearts Forever.” It was a heavy, heavy day.
Then I was lucky to go to Italy to see the monk, and so to Elba.
Able Was I . . .
"I wanted to ask you why you stopped at the Isle of Elba."
"It was to carry out an order from Captain Leclère. As he was dying he gave me a package to deliver to Marshal Bertrand there.
So that was Edmond Dantes’s excuse—a deathbed promise. Cadfael and I had no such noble focus. Did you know that Dumas decided to write The Count of Monte Cristo after visiting Elba himself? He was traveling with a nephew of Bonaparte’s, and as they sailed back from Elba he saw the other islands in the Tuscan Archipelago——Gorgona, Capraia, Pianosa, Montecristo, Giglio, and Giannutri——and vowed to write a novel in memory of the trip. So there must be something captivating going on there. . . .
Cadfael and I drove southwest from San Gimignano to the port of Piombino for the ferry to Portoferraio, the city of Napolean Bonaparte’s first exile.
We spent our first Elban evening in the hotel. The lobby was pleasant—-the white tile floors spoke to the beachiness of the location, and the décor was clean and modern. To the left of the bar was a baby grand piano. Cad plays by ear, and has a good tenor voice. He asked the manager if he could play for a bit, and he said yes. There were small clusters of guests scattered throughout the lobby, mostly German tourists.
Actually there are so many German visitors on Elba, and the language is so prevalent, that it is a little disorienting. “M.A., can we please go back to Italy?"
At the piano, Cad’s repertoire is easy listening on the sentimental side, but with a musician’s flair. I sat by his side as he sang Piano Man and She's Always a Woman and joined in for some harmonies on Thunder Road and Four Green Fields. We sang out, but it was not intrusive and we could hear the soft conversation buzz throughout. There was some sweet applause when the set ended. It was nice.
Ah, the drink break.
Refueled, Cad started playing again, noodling around a theme, then playing it straight out: Oh my gosh, it was America the Beautiful. I was stunned to hear the tune. I hadn’t been thinking at all about home, and that haunting melody can put a lump in my throat at the very best of times.
To keep from crying I tried to focus on Cad’s expressive phrasing, and somewhere in the second verse I heard myself adding the harmony. Cad modulated during a verse interlude, and we sang the last verse in a higher key, putting the “alabaster cities gleam/undimmed by human tears” into a stronger part of vocal ranges.
When the song ended, we realized that everyone in the room had stopped talking. I felt a little numb, very self-conscious, and a little embarrassed. How cheesy was this? Would we come across as obnoxious Americans?
There were several beats of complete, palpable, silence . . . and then the conversation buzz picked up again. A hug from the strangers in the room would not have felt more embracing.
Cad went to get us drinks, and we sat and drank, for quite a while.
The next day we left to go back to Rome.

interesting premise
This was an interesting article and premise. It makes sense to me after seeing what Tea Partiers do at Town Hall meetings, how they will vote for one of their own even if it means a Democrat wins. They are fundamentalists. That I always knew but that it has the dynamics of a cult explains the Clyde Bundy craziness when the reality is this guy was trying to avoid paying lease fees by declaring himself not owing to the 'pharisees' but instead should go to his god-- local government under his control.
It explains something else I have argued and why it didn't work. I said Occupy had to go political if it hoped to make a real difference. It could not stay on the streets and get anything really done. But it never did. Why? Because it didn't have the fervor of religion behind it is one possibility.
When you hear someone like Ted Cruz speaking with religious zeal or you listen to a Dinesh D'Souza as he argues intellectually why Obama has destroyed our country but it can be taken back (taken back by whom you might ask... somebody knows by whom and they are backing D'Souza, I'd bet), with guys like these two, what you see and hear are either religious zealots or charlatans, snake oil salesmen. Take your pick which.
Hearing Limbaugh again last week, it's easier to see him as a charlatan. Sure he goes for the slick answers and ignores many facts on anything he's ranting about, but he barely sounds as though he believes it. He is making millions off saying it but does he believe it? I am not sure. He sure knows who keeps him on the air.
Ted Cruz though, he is a born messiah and as radical as those who lead the Caliph type cults in the Middle East. He seems to totally believe it. Likewise D'Souza . He puts together a string of facts for his books, makes them sound very intellectual and gets best sellers-- often by the right wing buying up a lot of them to start and get them ratings. True believers follow because he gives intellectual credence to what they already want to believe. Cruz provides the emotional depth as he uses the oration of an evangelist which he really comes across as being-- evangelism for a new America where Christian believers make the rules.
Do facts matter to any of these purveyors of this new religion (which often encompasses foreign wars necessary to keep unity among those believers)? Of course, but they have to be carefully chosen and used. When I was in churches, they called it the satan sandwich which suits it well, whether you believe in a real Satan or not-- string together two truths and in the middle is a lie. The lie is believed because of what surrounds it.
Americans need to be very aware that two truths in a statement with a lie doesn't make the lie have any value or even connection to the supposed conclusion. A few classes in basic logic would help.
Facts: Advanced civilizations have run on oil. Canada has oil shale that can produce oil. A pipeline can be built. Jobs can be created. Liberals don't like things that damage the environment. All can be true or false but totally unconnected to each other. To draw conclusions from two facts, they have to be related.
Ted Cruz having the ability to speak like an orator of religious powers does not mean he's spouting religion. It does not mean he's lying. It does not mean he is bad. To figure out where he fits, you have to read his words without the emotions. See what his agenda is not where his passion lies or how he emotionally inspires the listener (this is also true for Obama who is no small shakes on oratory himself).
When someone like Glenn Beck wants to do charitable work for immigrant children, the Tea Party base jumps all over him. The fact that he's always done such work is ignored by the right and left who are just looking for something to use-- looking for what they want to believe already.
Ingineer66 said...
I think you are reaching when you compare Ted Cruz to Radical Muslim leaders. Ted Cruz has not cut off the heads of any of his political or religious opponents. Now if we have our own version of the Night of the Long Knives like Hitler did, then you might have a comparison.
I was discussing the Tea Party with a conservative friend the other day. He was lamenting about how the nut jobs have taken over the movement. The Tea Party folks that I knew back when it started were about Fiscal responsibility and less government intrusion in our lives. Things that I think a lot of people support. The liberals used to want to keep the government out of our lives, but now they seem to want the government to control every aspect of it. So their message has been changed as well.
Wally Blue said...
If Cruz sounds like an evangelist he comes by it naturally. His father is a preacher. He's the director of Purifying Fire Ministries in Texas and is has connections with the New Apostolic Reformation which leans toward Christian Dominionists. He believes that his son has been anointed by God to be president. I think traditional Republicans are regretting their unholy alliance with the Christian Right.
Rain Trueax said...
Cruz doesn't have the power yet, ingineer. Hitler didn't start out being Hitler either. And I am not saying Cruz is but his power comes from that oratory as many believe does Obama's. We need to instead listen to their words. Go by what they say not what we think logically they should say. Or even what we want them to say. I remember when Obama got elected and some were interviewed with thinking he'd promised them a lot he never had. I think what the article was about is what he is now but more why he has the popularity he does.
And that was interesting, Wally. I can see the fervor in Cruz but haven't researched him much.
Ingineer66 said...
I don't know much about Cruz yet. But I do not think I am a fan. I can think of several other Republicans that would be better Presidents.

Buick Riviera ConceptBuick Riviera ConceptBuick Riviera ConceptBuick Riviera ConceptBuick Riviera ConceptThe Buick Riviera, a stunning concept car designed to showcase Buick's new global design direction, made its global debut today at Auto Shanghai 2007. The gullwing Riviera concept coupe was developed with global design input by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in China, a design and engineering joint venture between General Motors and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC).
The Riviera was introduced today by Rick Wagoner, GM Chairman and CEO, and Hu Maoyuan, SAIC Chairman.
The Riviera has been engineered to accommodate a new hybrid system that will go into production at Shanghai GM, GM's flagship joint venture with SAIC, in 2008.
The fuel-efficient car, which will feature several technological and manufacturing advances, represents the latest achievement of GM and its partners in the promotion and development of alternative propulsion technologies in China.
According to Ed Welburn, vice president, GM Global Design, "Developing and launching the Riviera in China underscores the diversity, strength and depth of the GM global design network. It also reflects PATAC's growing role within the GM Design family and China's significance as the world's largest Buick market."
The Riviera also marks the return of a renowned Buick nameplate after an eight-year hiatus, having sold more than 1.1 million units in the United States between 1963 and 1999.
The Buick Riviera, with its tightly stretched carbon fiber body panels, combination of positive and negative curves, strong front and rear identities and gullwing doors, captures the essence of Buick classics, Welburn said, while presenting a thoroughly 21st century design.
"The Riviera concept certainly lived up to the nameplate's reputation," Welburn said.
"We developed the Riviera to communicate the global design vocabulary of the Buick brand and set the stage for General Motors' design, engineering and manufacturing centers to work together on the next generation of Buick mid-size luxury cars."
According to James Shyr, PATAC Design Director, the Riviera's enticing curves and 'earth and water' interior tones are drawn from diverse inspirations including classic Buicks, ancient Chinese artifacts and modern electronic icons. The car, inside and out, communicates universal beauty - a look that transcends cultural or national boundaries.
"Designing this car made us realize how small the world could be. It's not East. It's not West. It's not the United States or China. It's Buick," Shyr said.
Exterior Design - A Sense Of Existence, Not Anonymity
To establish their design direction, PATAC designers looked in part to Buick icons such as the original Y-Job Concept of 1938, the 1960s Le Sabre, Electra 225 and the Riviera coupes of the 1960s and '70s.
The Riviera design is structured around the Buick tri-shield logo, sitting proudly on a trihedral waterfall grille which is formed by three meeting planes. This takes the traditional Buick treatment to a new level of sophisticated boldness.
The logo, hood strip, headlamps, side mirrors and rocker covers all have 'icy green' backlighting available at night, matched by backlit logo and exhausts at the rear.
Designers have cleverly incorporated several other design signatures from the original Riviera generation. They include the "double sweep spear" line along the bodyside and the flared tail design.
"This car was inspired by great Buicks - their grace, their gesture. This car was designed to achieve a sense of existence. It's not an anonymous car when it drives past you but it's not completely in your face either. We wanted to create something which would make you want to run your hand across it rather than just look at it," Shyr said.
In this theme, the 'Shell Blue' exterior color was chosen to elicit the right level of attention. The color is a metallic silver with light blue accents, perfectly highlighting the coupe's exterior curves.
The gullwing doors, selected for their exotic appeal, achieve an expansive entrance to the two-plus-two seating configuration. Measuring 1938 millimeters at their widest point, they add to the coupe's sleek sideline. At night, fully opened doors gently shine the "Buick" name on the ground.
The use of carbon fiber in all body panels allowed the designers greater flexibility through reduced mass and added strength. This made the gullwing engineering demands easier to realize and sharp, tight radius curves possible across the body surface.
The Riviera sits on 21-inch 10-spoke forged aluminum wheels, combining polished and satin finishes, with low-profile tires. Taking their cue from Formula One cars, the side mirrors are sweeping yet unobtrusive.
PATAC designed the Buick Riviera to accommodate the new hybrid system, which will be introduced in China in 2008 prior to the Beijing Olympics. The new hybrid system fits naturally with the Riviera's 'earth and water' design theme.
Interior Design - All About Relaxation
In a word - sanctuary. The use of rich blue and subtle creams, representing earth and water themes, are conveyed through high-quality leather bucket seats, plush carpet and a luxurious padded steering wheel. Completing the organic feel, the roof comprises two shaded glass windows offering increased headroom and a celestial connection for occupants.
"We had to have the driver feel relaxed and tranquil inside the car. We used earth and water tones and avoided hard, aggressive edges," Shyr said.
Interior designers were encouraged to consider people's personal belongings to enhance their feeling of familiarity and comfort in the vehicle. Continuing the theme of calm simplicity, electronic shifter pads replace the traditional transmission shifter. Controls are kept to a minimum to avoid driver distraction.
Ambient light strips are applied from across the console and inserted on the door liner, stretching to the front seats. Deliberately imitating precious Chinese jade stone, the lights are tinted a subtle icy green, which also offers tribute to a favored color of Buicks in days gone by.
Interior trim treatments befitting the Buick prestige abound - miniature aluminum tri-shields in the front seat headrests, a wooden floor mat in the rear and a rear central armrest which can move sideways left and right to accommodate passengers of different sizes.
Royal blue Alcantara, a soft plush covering, was chosen for the door, console and roof while sandy white leather covers the lower door, lower console and seats.
Ancient Influences In Modern Design
The design team set out to create a modern global design - not something which could be superficially described as a Chinese car. At the same time, they sought to draw from their heritage outside the automotive industry from classic shapes, concepts and artifacts. They wanted to include a subtle Chinese essence and influence if one looked deeply enough.
"This design was about the East and the West co-existing in harmony. We always wanted to make a global car, to take a sense of the Buick DNA and create something for the world," Shyr said.
"It is so wonderful that our designers can take some of the rich culture behind them and make it international. East, West, Buick, China - there's no missing piece in the puzzle in here. Riviera has captured the essence of Buick - grace, gesture, form and emotion."

Arnold neighbors want Stop-N-Go store gone

Susan Fernandes expresses concern for her safety and others who live near the Arnold Stop-N-Go convenience store on Constitution Boulevard during the Arnold council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013.

Betty Jane Langer listens closely as Arnold Council members answer questions about the Arnold Stop-N-Go during the council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013. The owners of the convenience store, which is close to where Langer resides, were busted for allegely selling synthetic marijuana for a second time in four months. Erica Hilliard | Valley News Dispatch
Arnold residents want the Arnold Stop-N-Go convenience store to live up to its name.
“If they would stop and go away, that would be fine,” said Susan Fernandes, whose Kenneth Avenue home is behind the Constitution Boulevard store that twice in the past four months has been raided for alleged sales of synthetic marijuana.
Fernandes and her husband, Rey, were joined by several neighbors at Tuesday's council meeting to ask city officials to find a way to shut down the business that's about a year old.
In addition to the alleged drug sales, residents said excessive littering and loitering from customers have been an ongoing problem in the neighborhood. They said customers, especially youths, have been disrespectful and threatening.
The report that guns were seized from the business added another layer of fear to their concerns.
“We're a bit perplexed and concerned that they've been raided twice and they're still open,” Susan Fernandes said.
Arnold Solicitor John Pallone and police Chief Willie Weber said the process of closing a business is lengthy and complicated.
Weber said just gathering the evidence to raid and charge the operators of the store with alleged drug sales was complex due to the relative novelty of synthetic marijuana, also called K2 and Spice.
Weber said police began making undercover buys of the alleged illicit drug last spring, but found that initial samples did not exactly match the legal description of synthetic marijuana.
They had to keep gathering samples before they had enough evidence to justify the October raid that allegedly netted 50 pounds of the drug.
Backlog at the lab
The chief said they also had difficulty finding a laboratory capable of analyzing the samples. Because the lab was inundated with other samples of alleged drugs, it also took time to get the results back.
Weber said it wasn't until the last week that police could charge store operators Seif Suleiman Shuman and his brother, Muhannad Suleiman Shuman, both of Monroeville. Police issued a warrant for a third brother, Mohammad Suleiman Shoman, who authorities believe may be out of the country.
Now that drug-related arrests have occurred on the property, Weber said police can put the owners on notice that any additional charges there could result in the forfeiture of the property.
Residents questioned why New Kensington officials were able to quickly close the Hill Top Mart on Seventh Street, which also was under investigation for alleged sales of synthetic marijuana. Weber said he believed the owner of the building forced the tenant to close the store.
“It's not a quick fix,” Weber said.
Officials said attorney Duke George owns the Arnold Stop-N-Go property.
Weber said George was cooperating with Arnold officials' request that a fence be installed along the back of the store property to help prevent customers from loitering in the alley behind the store. The Fernandeses and their neighbors said patrons have caused damage to and trespassed on Kenneth Avenue properties.
Reached by phone late Tuesday, George confirmed he was willing to work with the city on installing a fence but was unaware of any other concerns.
“Nobody has contacted me,” George said.
George couldn't say whether he would consider evicting the store's operators, at least two of whom he is representing in relation to the drug charges.
Arnold officials acknowledged the residents' frustration and asked for their patience while the legalities are handled.
“We're trying to fix what turned into an unsavory situation,” said Pallone, referencing the city's excitement a year ago when the new business opened on what had been a vacant lot.

Review on Friday Night Alibi
When I saw this book, the blurb immediately grabbed my attention! I quickly clicked the little request button on NetGalley and the request was approved!
Friday Night Alibi by Cassie Mae
Age: New Adult; 16 years and up
Review: 3.5 stars
The premise of this story interested me. It had been something I hadn’t heard before. A girl who people hire to be their alibi so they do whatever else they want—things that aren’t necessarily “Sundale approved.”—like go out on a date with a girl that the ‘rents wouldn’t approve of.
Kelli lives in Sundale, a generally small community of rich people where things have to be approved by their parents and if the things they do or the people they date aren’t “Sundale approved,” they might lose their trust funds. Since most of the people we meet in this story are super-rich who live off their trust funds, they can’t lose it.
That’s where Kelli comes in. People buy packets of Friday Night Alibis, and they memorize what they did, pay her, and then bam! Families are happy, they are happy. Everybody wins. Sort of. Until, of course, Kelli meets someone who makes her want to actually go do actual things on Friday nights.
And that’s where Chase comes in. Chase isn’t like other guys—though Kelli tries to treat him like them. But Chase keeps breaking through the walls that Kelli didn’t even know she had, and when Kelli realizes it, she has a hard choice to make.
Kelli has built walls around herself to keep herself from getting close to people. Her parents don’t care, and that’s affected her in more ways than one. To stop herself from going through that pain again, she doesn’t let herself get close to people. And she doesn’t even realize it.
Chase has a background that I sort of saw coming. There were hints here and there but not much else, so when Chase revealed it I wasn’t so surprised, but it was still sad to hear his story. But Chase is sweet and he is patient—and he truly loves Kelli’s company, even after the many pranks they’ve pulled on each other.
Kelli and Chase fit together so perfectly, that sometimes I wondered if this book is a bit too cheesy in that aspect. There are points where Chase just knows what to do—like when making out, he just happens to pretty much read her mind and knows what she wants—that it was a bit unbelievable. I mean, Chase hasn’t kissed more than three women and all of a sudden he’s a kissing expert? No, thank you.
It was fun to read their relationship grow and develop into a serious relationship (though Kelli might deny it at first) and the ending was a very sweet and happy one. When Kelli finally realized what was more important—her security and being “safe” or being truly happy and with someone she deeply cares about—I felt like it was about time! Poor Chase!
This book was a cute, light read with a slightly predictable ending that will leave you with a smile on your face. There were quirks—like the oranges!—and there were nights that were cute to read about. I recommend this book if you want something light and happy that has a guaranteed happy ending.

1. Sounds like a good last minute summer pool read.
Sorry for responding late to your winner email. I'm surprised you haven't forfeited it!

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Is it true that all static solutions in GR are also spherically symmetric? Is there a proof of this?
Similarly, are all stationary solutions axisymmetric?
share|improve this question
1 Answer 1
The answer to your first question is no. In fact, you can find static, stationary solutions to GR corresponding to cosmic strings and domain walls, or even more exotic solutions, like the c-metric.
Your statement about axisymmetry is harder, mainly because I don't know of many non-axisymmetric solutions, period.

COLUMN: Men in Black
Bad news, folks. We've got trouble, right here in River City. If recent reports are to be believed, our area could be looking at a danger the likes of which we, and quite possibly the entire human race, have never seen. And you know what happens whenever a troubling news story of such grave importance comes to our attention?
That's right, we send in the humor columnist.
Other reporters might be afraid of causing a panic, sensationalizing the truth, or fictionalizing news when there really is none, but that's never stopped me. Let's monger up some fear, what say?
Over the past two weeks, news stories, posts on social media, and calls to 911 have logged multiple sightings of mysterious men in black hanging out along the roadside at various locales in our neighboring Muscatine County. It's been reported that these ominous looking black-suited figures have been seen lurking in the shadows and occasionally trying to make contact with passing vehicles along Route 22.
Some people are assuming that it's just bored teenagers out to scare passersby, but my journalistic intuition says otherwise. Occam's Razor tells us that the simplest explanation for something is usually the correct one, and what explanation for these events is simpler than a FULL SCALE ALIEN INVASION OF MUSCATINE, IOWA?
So-called "men in black" have long been associated with UFO sightings, alien conspiracies, and high-grossing Will Smith movies. The stories are usually all similar: some hapless person witnesses a UFO, but before they can tell anyone, they're visited by mysterious men dressed in black who intimidate and threaten them into silence. Some claim these men in black belong to a secret branch of the government or some kind of shadow organization. Others say the men in black are aliens themselves. Whatever they are, it's clear that Muscatine is rife with 'em, and even the local police have taken note.
"We take this seriously," the Muscatine County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook. Which is good, because I sure don't. But what's an intrepid reporter to do on a boring Friday night but assemble a crack team of investigators (namely me and my friend Jason) and head down to Muscatine to see these men in black for ourselves. Thankfully, I took notes:
8:45 p.m., Route 22.
"So why would aliens pick Muscatine of all places?"
"If I had to guess? Office furniture."
"Hon DOES make a quality workstation. You think they need file cabinets for their spaceships?"
"Colonizing a planet has got to require a crazy amount of paperwork. They must have an abundance of clerical staff onboard."
"But you're presuming these aliens take humanoid form. What if they're a race of gelatinous blobs?"
"Then they'll definitely need someplace to put their pens."
"I can't argue with that logic."
9:04 p.m., Route 22.
We have yet to see any Men In Black, though we HAVE encountered several Deer In Brown. None seem especially alien in nature, but I can attest they're equally terrifying to encounter by the side of the road.
9:15 p.m., Route 22.
"You know who I feel sorry for right now?"
"Dapper businessmen with car trouble."
"Imagine trying to hitch a ride and instead everyone just screams and calls you an alien."
"Welcome to Trump's America."
9:25 p.m., Muscatine.
We just passed a cop with a radar gun. Happily, we weren't speeding. When a police officer asks what you're doing twenty-five miles away from home in the pitch middle of the night, you probably shouldn't lead with "looking for aliens."
9:32 p.m., Muscatine.
It must be noted that Muscatine mayor Diana Broderson has no comment on the men in black sightings. To be fair, this might be because I never asked her for one. Still, her silence speaks volumes.
9:40 p.m., Muscatine.
Perhaps Muscatine has a long-standing relationship with alien visitors and we need to look deeper to spot any anomalies. Jason decides to see if he can re-arrange the letters in "MUSCATINE" to reveal a clue. After several minutes, the best we can muster is "INSEAM CUT" or "MAN CUTIES." More research may be required.
10:04 p.m., Muscatine.
I know it's a bad stereotype, but it's true: We stop for gas to find no fewer than SIX Muscatine County officers inside buying doughnuts. I ask them if they'd had any MiB sightings this weekend. They roll their eyes at me with a look that suggests we're not the first to ask this question tonight. "No," one sternly responds. "What's the deal with these sightings?" I press on. "Is it just kids playing a dumb prank?" "I HAVE NO IDEA," says the officer in a tone that clearly indicates our conversation is over.
10:20 p.m., downtown.
No MiB to report, but we DID notice that Muscatine's bridge over the Mississippi now has a colorful light show in the evenings. Or perhaps it's a series of coded signals to the alien mothership. We drive to the scenic overlook for a closer look and quickly discover we're not the only ones assessing the bridge for possible alien communications. Our car, however, is the only one NOT fogged up and bouncing, so we decide to back away slowly.
In the end, our search was fruitless, and no bogeypeople jumped out at us as we drove around. Perhaps the men in black have moved on to greener pastures. I'm going to assume that they caught wind of my investigative prowess and buggered off. Or maybe that's what They want us to believe, whoever "They" are. Of course, most good conspiracy theorists also presume some sort of sinister bias on the part of the media, too. So if you believe in MiB, you probably DON'T believe anything I have to say. I could be one of Them. Heck, I could be an alien. (I'm certainly looking more and more like a gelatinous blob these days.)
I promise you, though, I'm NOT a Man in Black -- I don't even OWN a suit. But if any of you aliens ever need a Man in Ill-Fitting Khakis, I can probably make some time.

Ways To Decided Which Kind Of Coffee Is Right For You
Coffee is one of the most popular morning drinks in the world, with tens of millions of people drinking it each day. People enjoy cup after cup of this rich and flavorful drink. Brewing great coffee requires know-how. You can find out how to make the perfect up if you use the tips here.
Going to ground: how used coffee beans can help your garden and your health
Protect the beans if you want to buy coffee in bulk. When fresh beans are exposed to heat or light, they lose some of their own flavor. Make sure you store your coffee beans in a dark, airtight container.
When brewing your coffee, use bottled or filtered water. Doing so, you will obtain maximum flavor for your brew. However, chocolate on paleo diet do not want to use water that is too soft. The flavor will not be extracted as well. Look for a nice balance. Compare the flavor of your coffee with different brands or types of water.
Do you need some change in your coffee drinking routine? Try adding a little chocolate. This will give you some extra energy, and you’ll surely enjoy the taste. Use dark chocolate for more energy.
You do not need to tip the barista at a coffee shop the same percentage as you do a waitress or a hairdresser. Your hairdresser has to understand precisely what you want and then do it, and a waitress has multiple tables to keep up with exactly everyone’s order. Your barista mixes up one cup at a time, so do not feel guilty for tipping him or her less. Still, do throw capresso 455 manual in the tip jar frequently.
It is not necessary to stick with a single type of coffee. Try out different blends when you go to the store. Buy several kinds at a time. You can store them in your freezer to keep them fresh.
Buy new coffee beans every two weeks. Once you open coffee beans, they usually don’t have a set expiration date. You can seal them in airtight containers to keep them fresh longer. You will, however, likely find that the quality of the taste starts to fade a bit after two weeks.
You don’t have to waste money on fancy coffees. Unless you’re really picky, it’s unlikely that you’ll notice a great difference between blends of coffee. Often, the plainest coffees will be the ones you enjoy most. There is nothing wrong with buying cheap coffee if it satisfies your coffee needs.
Be sure to add cold water to your coffee machine when starting a new pot. Avoid using hot water in this type of machine. Water is usually heated during the brewing process, which can lead to burning. Brewing coffee with hot water is sure to result in burnt grounds. This will make your coffee taste bad and may also be a burn hazard.
If you need a way to get moving and out the door to your job, coffee is an effective energy drink. Most people have more than one cup, but others are happy with just one. Whether you add sugar and creamer, or drink it black, coffee tastes great if it is fresh brewed.

Young Person (17-30+) that's takes street racing very passionately. usually grew up playing with toy cars and had their first job with the sole purpose of buying a fast car.
they spend a great deal of time and money working on their cars, investing in all sorts of preformance mods and body work for their cars. they adore movies such as the fast and the furious series and take great pride in their lifestyle and cars.
they live for the night, where most of the illegal streetracing takes place. they are wide awake at midnight and can go on racing till sunrise. they can be from a great diversity of ethnicities and lifestyles. but they mostly are night people who love extreme thrills and party.
they dress in a very young style. wearing shirts with racing brands such as sparco,momo,streetglow etc.

This is a dynamic conversation that is maturing and growing into having severe impact on a hotel’s livelihood. If a hotel is smart enough to be on the ball with social media, and understand the nature of this constructive communication – it is hardly their fault that a guest reviewer doesn’t understand that.

The architects and operators of America's picture palaces inscribed their buildings with democratic, national purpose in an attempt to bolster the industry's image and to attract customers. This display began with the buildings' exteriors and lobbies.
A statue of a sphinx bearing the head of George Washington sat in the lobby of Grauman's Metropolitan Theater, built in 1923 in Los Angeles. The inscription on the statue read: "You cannot speak to us, O George Washington, but you can speak to God. Ask Him to make us good American citizens."(1) Cleveland's Loew's State lobby drew attention for a mural by James Daugherty titled "The Spirit of Cinema." A local paper described it as follows: "The spirit of cinema appears in the American tableau. Here the modern vamp supplants Helen of Troy; jazz drowns the pipes of Pan; an auto supercedes the chariot; a flying machine outruns Pegasus; towering skyscrapers overtop the temple-crowned Acropolis;...the Boy Scout takes the place of the shepherd boy...the composition is rush hour."(2) Daugherty and others were making claims about American motion pictures reminiscent of Emerson and Whitman nearly a century earlier: namely, that America required a truly indigenous art form and that in that art, she could surpass anything Europe had ever produced.
Daugherty's claims are odd, however, when one considers the architecture of the movie palaces. Most palaces, particularly in their exteriors and lobbies, made express reference to European architectural forms and European aristocracy. Although theater architect George Rapp called the movie palace a "shrine to democracy, where wealthy rub elbows with the poor," his was a vision of democracy which prized aristocracy.(3) Thus, 'homegrown' notions about native architectural and artistic forms did battle with claims to legitimacy and dazzling displays of wealth rooted in Old World conceptions of abundance and legitimacy. This confusion is perfectly embodied in Chicago's Southtown Theater. Rapp and Rapp designed the theater in 1931 as an enclosed Italian garden; the lobby, however, features murals and dioramas of significant moments in Chicago history, including the fire of 1871, the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, and the stockyards.
San Francisco's Fox Theater, built in 1929, housed a lobby that was a temple to European high culture and aristocracy. In a practice reminiscent of America's robber barons furnishing their homes, William Fox's wife Eve Leo toured Europe and shipped home various objets d'art, furniture, and architectural embellishments to be displayed in the theater lobby. Built and decorated by European craftsmen, the lobby featured throne chairs, statuary, and a pair of vases once owned by the royal family of Russia. Thomas Lamb designed the lobby's picture gallery to be an exact duplicate of a chapel in Versailles.
Many theater exteriors and interiors were designed as replicas of Old World churches, monuments, and palaces. La Salle de Spectacle, the opera house at Versailles, served as the model for the Ringling Theater, constructed in Baraboo, Wisconsin in 1915. The frieze in the theater lobby is a copy, at 1/3 scale, of the frieze decorating the choir gallery in the cathedral in Florence.
Theater designers mixed European styles to create an overall lavish display of wealth. They were joined in this practice by the designers and decorators of department stores, hotels, and other 'people's palaces' of the period. The connection between these public spaces and the theaters was closer than most histories of the theaters suggest: sometimes, theater ornamentation came secondhand from the other 'people's palaces,' as when the decorators of the Capitol Theater bought three crystal chandeliers from Sherry's, a tony restaurant on 5th Avenue undergoing renovation. Miles Orvell described how private homes of that era employed the same blending of architectural styles in the service of conspicuous consumption: "Looking for status, middle class Americans tried to reproduce in their homes the trappings of a generic aristocracy, objects rich in narrative signs suggesting allegorical fantasy and far-off places."(4)
Theater lobbies promised admission not only to a motion picture, but also to the same 'generic aristocracy' Orvell described. At the Roxy Theater in New York, up to 4,000 patrons at a time could comfortably fill the lobby and foyers to marvel at the five story marble columns and the largest oval rug in the world. Samuel "Roxy" Rothapfel christened this room the "Grand Rotunda" and fired any usher who referred to it as a mere 'lobby.' Since the box office was a separate unit housed under the marquee on the street, customers could easily forget the commercial function of the theater upon entering the lobby and believe themselves members of a class comfortably at home in palatial surroundings. Commercialization of the lobby didn't occur until the Depression, when concessions stands, accounting for 45% of theater profits, became necessary fixtures in movie palaces.

Alameda Central
Alameda Central is a public urban park in downtown Mexico City. Created in 1592, the Alameda Central is the oldest public park in the Americas.[1][2] It is located in Cuauhtémoc borough, adjacent to the Palacio de Bellas Artes, between Juarez Avenue and Hidalgo Avenue.
The Alameda Central park is a green garden with paved paths and decorative fountains and statues, and is frequently the center of civic events. The area used to be an Aztec marketplace. On 11 January 1592, Viceroy Luis de Velasco II ordered the creation of a public green space for the city's residents.[3] The name comes from the Spanish word álamo, which means poplar tree, that were planted here.[4] This park was part of the viceroy's plan to develop what was, at that time, the western edge of the city. It has become a symbol of a traditional Mexican park and many other parks in the country take on the name "Alameda" as well.[5]
Fountains and statues in the park include:
The Alameda Central in 1848
The original park was less than half the size of the current one, reaching only from where the Palacio de Bellas Artes is now to the location of the Hemiciclo de Juárez. What is now the western section of the park originally was a plain plaza built during the Inquisition in Mexico and known as El Quemadero or The Burning Place. Here witches and others convicted by the Inquisitors were publicly burned at the stake. By the 1760s, the Inquisition had nearly come to an end and in 1770, viceroy Marqués de Croix had this plaza torn up to expand the park. The park was expanded again in 1791, when the Count of Revillagigedo built a wooden fence around the park to make it exclusive for the nobility. However, when Mexican Independence was won in 1821, the Alameda was the center of popular celebrations. In 1846, when President Santa Anna rode triumphantly into Mexico City, he ordered the fountains in the park be filled with alcohol.[5]
The five classical fountains are of French design and inspired by Greco-Roman mythology. More statues were added to the park in the 19th century. Gas lamps were installed in 1868, which were replaced by electrical lighting 1892. By the end of the 19th century, the park had become popular with all social classes in Mexico. Much of the current layout of the park, with its starburst pattern of paths around fountains and the central kiosk dates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[5]
The park's statues include Désespoire and Malgré Tout, by Jesús Fructuoso Contreras, and a monument donated by the German community which is dedicated to Beethoven in commemoration of the centenary of his 9th Symphony.[6]
In 2012, the park went through a rehabilitation which began in May and was completed in December. The renewal included replacing the damaged pavement with marble, the improvement of the vegetation (including the planting of new trees), new light posts, and improvement of existing park features (e.g. benches and the fountains).[7] As part of the rehabilitation, the once ubiquitous street vendors are no longer allowed to operate within the park.[8]

A shockwave inducer is a powerful and ancient protoss weapon, most likely pre-dating the Aeon of Strife. When activated, the inducer 'melds' with its user, dark liquid metal covering the torso and left arm. It changes shape every few second, with lights akin to stars flashing from the depths of the liquid. It has only been observed used by a protoss.
In addition to giving the user the ability to cast psionic shockwaves (hence the name), the inducer also carries a personality program, the function of which is to make the user more confident, bloodthirsty, etc. The nature of the user's personality will seemingly determine the extent of this however (eg. an egocentric individual will become more delusional, believing himself to be a god for instance, than a modest person). This program is so refined that the device basically has a personality of its own (practically a form of artificial intelligence). The user's resilience to attack is also strengthened by the device.
Should the inducer take enough damage, it will drip off the user, form seven puddles of liquid metal, each solidifying into a separate piece ready for re-assembly. This process is traumatic for the user however, and will render him/her in a coma.
An inducer was discovered at the protoss Dylar Ruins. It was used by the Dark Templar Miratix, but he was eventually defeated by the Alliance forces he attacked.

The people’s news - of the people, by the people, for the people. Call it what you will - street journalism is the “new black” of information in the digital age. Also known as citizen journalism, and typically disseminated in an online format, it is mobile, real time, and pays mind to you. Florida-based news site is proof of that.
Five years ago five guys had an idea. There wasn’t a public news forum in Jacksonville that focused on the city’s urban core. And importantly, there was no outlet to voice opinions on pressing issues facing the structure and function of the city. Enter The news outlet is now a respected resource for all things new urbanism.
What’s even more impressive, is that remains a side project. Most of the group members still hold day jobs, yet find time to run the site - and run it well. Ennis Davis, architect and civic activist; Daniel Herbin, CSX rail tech guru; Stephen Dare, cultural brainchild; Steve Congro, software innovator; and Bob Mann, old transportation soul, joined recently by a marketing head and a savvy intern, work to cover issues stretching from Jacksonville’s center to the beachside.
The website is a cohesive assembly of discussion boards, news articles, and press releases covering all manner of happenings in Jacksonville. Content runs the gamut from profiles of local organizations and the latest on dining and nightlife to pieces that look specifically at what Jacksonville might learn from other cities. A new article is posted each weekday while the forum rolls continuously.
But what really makes it work, is, in essence, that the site generates itself. It doesn’t spit crime rhymes - the voluntary public post the grapevine news. It doesn’t sing the weather - people can look outside. It is a controversial, free-for-all opinion pot that welcomes vocal views. But it also reports objectively. It is reinventing what a local news source is - what it can be and what it can do. The importance of community discussion among a diverse public with a common home is unmatched. With 3,000 members, they invite everyone to sign-up for free and start talking.
The Metrojacksonville crew has played a role in remapping a new convention center, and their ideas are heard by city power players, elbow to elbow at the dining table. They are a part of Mayor Alvin Brown’s transportation and downtown committees. They offer affordable fixes for downtown, identify vibrancy killers, and tote a utopian orb in the palms of their hands. The vision is to improve the vitality and quality of life in downtown through creative, innovative, attainable, and sustainable solutions.
And beyond the news reel, Metrojacksonville also hosts monthly pub crawls and puts on special events downtown, shuttling patrons via trolley to expose and promote local businesses.
The accumulation of common desires among a group of urban core planners to make innovative revitalization concepts a reality - to transform Jacksonville - is what ambition looks like.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
Suppose you have a JTable and for each cell you want to display three strings with different color, say value1 (red), value2 (blue), value3 (green).
I overrode the getTableCellRendererComponent of DefaultTableCellRenderer but setForeground(Color) method gives an unique color for all the string showed in the cell.
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
String s = table.getModel().getValueAt(row,column).toString();
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s," ");
int nToken=st.countTokens();
// so now all the values are blue...
return super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected,
hasFocus, row, column);

The default renderer for a cell table is a JLabel. This component supports HTML tags. The easiest solution you can have is to use HTML to render the Strings with different colours. So you can build a String such as:
<html><font color="blue">A String</font><font color="red">Another String</font></html>
And set it to the cell, and you don't have to worry about the renderer.
Most swing components allow you to use HTML, this is not only limited to tables.
Another possibility is that you create a class that extends from JComponent, and program paintComponent() so it draws these three strings in different colors. Then you can set this component as the renderer. But this is way more complicated. Because the renderer works like a "stamp", it will stamp the right colors when the cells are drawn. This is useful if your needs are to, for example, draw extremely complex and custom graphics on a cell.
I would stick with using HTML if you don't have a humongous amount of cells.

HTML components in tables gets very slow very quickly. You can cache the components, but that gets tricky in anything other than some special cases. – Tom Hawtin - tackline May 13 '09 at 15:02
The alternative, though, writing your own JComponent, is fast. But tricky to get it right – Mario Ortegón May 13 '09 at 15:03
JIDE provides a StyledLabel as part of their open source Common Layer, which is exactly what you want and 10x easier than implementing anything on your own.

Body Image in Little Girls
Body image seems like an appropriate topic to me, while I'm writing about Helen, the most beautiful of all women in mythology. Apparently a new study shows that an alarming number of girls between the ages of 3 and 6 are worried about being fat-- 49% seem to worry either sometimes, or almost always.
Forty-nine percent seems like kind of an alarming statistic to me. But there's a silver lining, I guess. Those feelings of concern about being fat, and body image, AREN'T influenced by animated movies like Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast, with the idealized princess beauty and the tiny waists.
So what does all this mean? I think it tells us something we are already well aware of--children are more than capable of differentiating between real and imaginary. They can look at animated drawings and renderings and say "that isn't what people look like." This brings us right back to the old argument over Barbie dolls, too. Barbie has unrealistic proportions. If Barbie were a real person, she wouldn't be able to walk. But what if that very unrealistic image is the reason that children have no trouble playing with those dolls? The proportions are so obviously wrong that it divorces the doll from reality altogether-- just like Belle's overly large eyes, tiny waist, and animation (to say nothing of the monstrous beast she's held prisoner by) keep her from becoming an example of what a girl should look like.
Media representation of the ideal is of course still an issue. Women who are as thin as models make up an extraordinarily low percentage of people on the earth-- but because we see them everywhere on television and in magazines, we're tricked into believing that it's more "normal." The problem with models, is that they're people. Real live, breathing people, not imaginary princesses or obscenely busty dolls. But it isn't just the media that's perpetuating this myth of idealized beauty and the compulsion to change to fit it. All you have to do is walk into any woman's bathroom at home to see the cosmetics lining the shelves, or take a walk through your favorite drug store to see all the many products that women bring home. Adult women. Mothers of impressionable children. And don't get me started on tanning...
We buy pounds and pounds of makeup and gallons of hair dye to make ourselves "pretty enough." To feel better about our body image. And if you think that kids aren't watching that, aren't witnessing that, aren't paying attention to every comment their mother, sister, cousin, aunt, or grandmother is making about how they don't like the way they look, or how they wish they were skinnier, then we're deluding ourselves.
So what do I think about this body image study? And the results? I think it's less about the cartoons and more about real life. And good body image for children starts with Mom, and Big Sis, not with the imaginary characters in animated cartoons, or the totally fake-looking Barbie dolls.
As for Helen, I suspect that after Leda's rape by Zeus, she heard all about the burden of being beautiful from her mother--and how she needed to be careful not to attract the notice of men. Helen probably wished she could do away with her beauty altogether, to avoid the troubles that would come with it. So that perhaps just one man would look at her as more than just a pretty face. I expect that men wouldn't be held responsible for what her beauty drove them to.
And on that note-- a new pair of letters between Meneleus and Helen are up on GeekaChicas for your reading pleasure!

New Letters!
Head over to GeekaChicas for the next installment of the Not-Yet-Of Troy letters! A set between Theseus and Pirithous.
Pirithous kind of strikes me as the friend that always kind of gets you into trouble, or comes up with the harebrained schemes and expects you to go along with it. I think his heart was in the right place, but maybe he was kind of an adrenaline junky, or at the least, loved to take a little bit of risk. Like, if there wasn't some risk, or some terrible way it could go wrong, it wasn't worth doing.
Happy day before Thanksgiving!

Unstoppable Bonus Content Through Thanksgiving!
I'm spending this week with my family in upstate New York, so my posts are going to be kind of brief.
I haven't quite wrapped up Helen yet, which is driving me a little bit crazy. I was hoping to have it finished yesterday, before I hit the road to travel, or at worst, in the car on the way up, but it didn't happen. What I DID finish up, was writing the letters for the Not-Yet-Of Troy series on GeekaChicas. Even though it's Thanksgiving in the USofA, GeekaChicas is going strong all week with Monday, Wednesday, and Friday posts of my series!
Today you can read Theseus's response to Helen. And I urge you to go check out the previous letters if you haven't already. They're all linked to in the post on GeekaChicas for ease of access, and each one comes with some historical background. Or writerly background, in this case, as I discuss the challenges of writing from the outline of a well documented myth.
On Wednesday, there will be a pair of letters between Theseus and Pirithous, and Friday will bring a set between Helen and Meneleus. The series will wrap up on Monday next week, the last day of November, while National Novel Writing Month participants scrambled to get their last words in and their novel validated for the win.. If you're waiting for the series to finish before you dive in, I'll be recapping all the links on December 1 on this blog.
Happy Monday!

Elephant Vengeance
A new Not-Yet-Of Troy post is up over on GeekaChicas! A Letter from Helen to Theseus, for your entertainment! Now, on to the science!
This article is old, but I think striking all the same. There's a theory, apparently, that African Elephants may be seeking revenge against humanity for the murder of their fellows.
The thing is, it's so rare that we attribute these serious emotions to animals. Usually we reserve that sort of thing for chimps and other great apes, alone. Elephants are one of the exceptions where there has been enough evidence of seemingly bizarre and uncalled for behavior, that we look at them and actually find ourselves wondering if they're driven by emotion more than just instinct. There are plenty of anecdotal stories about elephants in captivity becoming depressed and despondent when one of their "friends" is relocated to another zoo, or elephants in circuses going on rampages against their trainer for the abuse they've been subjected to over a lifetime. A program on the discovery channel even went so far as to suggest that African elephants Grieve for their dead, pausing as they journey on their annual migrations and lingering at places where a member of the herd had died in a previous year.
Personally, I have no trouble believing that animals are experiencing emotions-- and not just the animals who show these behaviors, like elephants that seem so human in nature. Grief. Revenge. Mourning. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence for domestic animals too. My husband's dog, while he was in college, would often mope around his parents' house for days after he returned to school, unwilling to even eat. And the dog was always thrilled to see him when he arrived home after months away. As a child I had a cat that would wait for me to walk home from school, meeting me on the street corner at the appropriate time if she had been let out of the house, or else sitting in the window watching me approach the house. And I distinctly remember once my cat disappearing for three days, but when she finally showed up at our front door again, I was given an overwhelming impression of her own joy to see me again when she didn't even feed herself before jumping all over my lap, demanding I pet her and sit with her.

The Essential Thor (no footnotes, just gut.)
I've been working with the character of Thor, the Norse god of thunder and lightning, for years. Years of research and reading and false starts and conversations in the dark with the ceiling that resulted in terrible stories and drafts while I struggled to pinpoint what was there. Years of trying to understand what was at the heart of this god, who was so loved by his people, honored even in many ways above Odin the All-Father. Loved so much, even now, that he was re-imagined and transported into the medium of the comic book for the modern world. Thor, who we will soon be over-saturated by, in the quest for world domination and movie marketing schemes. Hollywood always knows how to run a good man into the ground. But for myself, I'm hoping they do him justice, because after years of trying to find the answer of this god's character, this god's essence, this god's spirit within the scraps of mythology we're given, he became my most favorite of all mythological heroes. (Theseus may be coming in at a close second, but don't tell Thor. He'll start going on about how Theseus is "unworthy".)
I think that there was a very good reason that Thor was the preferred god of the everyman, and I don't think that it was because he was stupid, or because he was always getting into brawls and slaughtering giants, or because he was often drunk on mead and loved to feast with the best of us. I don't even think it was because he cross-dressed, although Mimzy tells that story better than I've ever heard it before. I think the reason Thor was so beloved was because he always helped his people. Thor was the god that could be depended on, no matter what had happened, to go out and do what had to be done-- whether that was beating down on Loki, or killing off giants, or drinking a ton of mead, or dressing up as a woman. Thor was intensely loyal, unwavering, and good.
That's not to say he couldn't be led off track every so often. Loki makes this perfectly clear in all the stories where they travel together to accomplish some task, or just for the sake of getting out and about. Perhaps Thor is trusting to a fault. Certainly he doesn't seem to take to deception very easily when he's forced to employ its arts. He's not at all like Loki in that way. He'd much rather bust down the door and employ a frontal assault, even if he can't win. And that in itself is something admirable, too-- it's one of the things that I have always respected in those people who also share that characteristic. The people who throw their punches and then shake it off, and buy one another a drink afterwards.

More Bonus Content
In case you're anxiously anticipating, the latest installment of the Not-Yet-Of Troy series is up and awaiting your pleasure to read it! If you're not caught up, links to the other two letters are in that post as well. I'm just that thoughtful.
This is a pair of letters, written between Theseus, King of Athens (oh, Theseus. What will we do with you?), and King Tyndareus of Lacedaemon/Sparta and Helen's father.
As far as NaNoWriMo goes, I'm up to 65K, but I'm procrastinating because I know there is no happy ending, and I just feel bad for Helen and Theseus. My goal is to finish it up by Sunday, so it's all done before I head home for Thanksgiving with my family, otherwise I know I'm going to be sitting around staring at my laptop all week, cranky that people are interrupting me while I try to write. Wish me luck!

Fiction, Faith, and Mythology
Over on Gary Corby's blog, there have been some really good posts about religion in Classical Greece, and it's gotten me thinking again about where we draw the line between mythology and fiction, a discussion I've been wanting to begin here for a while.
The word Myth has some serious connotations of religious aspects, while at the same time carrying with it the implication of fiction. When you take a minute to consider the things we call myth, and consider to be mythology, you generally end up looking at religious stories of now defunct, or practically dead religions. Religions which, for one reason or another, are no longer recognized or state-sanctioned, though at one point they may have dominated in a particular region or area of the world. Myth is a politically correct way of calling the stories of an entire people, an entire faith, fiction. Myth is what we say when we're talking about gods, heroes, and faith traditions, that we have decided as a culture, as a race, as a country, as an individual, are invalid and utter hogwash. The things we don't believe in, but somebody else does.
Generally speaking, you don't see people going around accusing The Bible of being mythology-- although the reality of the situation is that it isn't any better or any worse than most of the other collections of stories and beliefs of religions that didn't survive the spread of Christianity. I guess in some ways the word Myth can be compared to the term Barbarian. Originally, Romans and Greeks used the term Barbarian to describe anything Other and outside of themselves. The Germanic tribes, for instance, were considered barbarians. Others. A group of people culturally different from themselves. Myth is what we call the beliefs and stories of those others in a parallel way. Our personal beliefs are not Myth, but Truth. Everyone else on the other hand... That's another story.
But here's the tricky part. Somewhere, somewhen, and to someone, those things we call myths were Truth. History. Fact. They were part of reality, woven into culture and religion and daily life. They were the real thing (whether they actually happened or not). They were The Bible of another race, another culture, another country, another person. So what exactly is the process which results in turning those Truths, yes, with a capital T, into Fiction? And, can it be argued that Fiction itself can become myth?

A new Not-Yet-Of Troy Letter! Et Cetera.
Hey guys! I thought you'd be interested in getting the heads up that the next letter in the series of Not-Yet-Of Troy posts for my book on Helen is up!
This letter is from Pollux, in response to Helen's previous warning and plea. Pollux is Helen's brother, and is often attributed as being a son of Zeus, born of the same Rape of Leda as Helen. Clytemnestra and Castor are usually considered to be the full sons of Tyndareus, without the same demi-god/immortal father aspect. I wonder if they had inferiority complexes...
The next letter will be between the Kings Tyndareus of Sparta/Lacedaemon, and Theseus of Athens. You'll be getting two, because they're rather shorter and much more formal in context, so keep an eye out for the link!
In other news, I just cruised by the 50K mark last night, but my goal is to finish the book-- so I'm still going to be writing and sticking with the less frequent posting over here for the month. Let me tell you, there will be a lot of revision work to come when I'm done!
I'm formulating some thoughts on Mythology and what constitutes "Source" for an upcoming post, but have been somewhat distracted by writing, and haven't put it together coherently yet. There have been a lot of challenges with this book that I didn't exactly anticipate, and will hopefully be able to discuss tomorrow.

Delusions and Hallucinations
NaNo Stats:
31872 / 50000 words. 64% done!
I'm not sure why I've come across so much on hallucinations and delusions lately on physorg, but I figured it was fitting to write a post up about it in honor of all of those people taking part in National Novel Writing Month. Especially for those who are going without sleep, and putting their mind and bodies through the grinder to pump out that 1,667 words on top of their already overfull schedule of working full time, parenting, and school. If you're feeling haunted by your characters, it's okay! Even "normal" people can start hallucinating extremely quickly, under the right circumstances!
Yesterday I linked briefly to a post discussing how children (mostly young girls) can sublimate imaginary friends into dear diary personalities, and then later, if they're writers, into the characters they write about (Abstract can be found here!). Basically, writers are expected to be nagged by their creations. Right now, I'd be more surprised if in the sleep-deprived-overly-stressed state that NaNoWriMo can sometimes subject us to, people weren't feeling haunted by their characters, even if it weren't relatively "normal."
The study I linked to above talks about how, placed in a sensory deprivation room, even people who aren't necessarily prone to hallucination may begin to experience them in as few as 15 minutes. And this is what they suspect:
One of the researchers, psychologist Oliver Mason, said the results of the experiment support the idea that hallucinations are produced through what the scientists call faulty source monitoring: the brain misidentifies the source of its own thoughts as arising from outside the body.
Personally I find it kind of interesting. It's another example, I think, of believing being more powerful than actuality. Of the brain having this incredible power of belief over its surroundings and the body. We know this is true, we see it every day, but we don't really give it the research and study it deserves, in my opinion. For example, WHY would our brains decide, in the absence of other stimuli, to believe that our own thoughts are external? What's the pathway that allows something like that?

Imaginary Friends Are Not Just For Kids
If you're a writer and often find yourself talking with your characters, reassure yourselves!
It's okay, apparently 46 out of 50 of us do it, too!

Some Teaser Content
If you're interested, and even if you're not, I've released an original letter from Helen to her brother Pollux, unearthed after all these millennia from my brain, over at GeekaChicas!
These letters will be published periodically in honor of National Novel Writing Month and my Work-In-Progress about Helen's story and the Trojan War. I'll give you guys a post here to let you know when they go up. The next letter will be Pollux's response to Helen's plea.
Yes, I'm absolutely aware that letter writing is, technically speaking, not necessarily historically accurate for the time. (That was a lot of adverbs.) But if Ovid can do it, I figure in the interest of artistic license, fudging things a bit can't hurt.

A (slightly disorganized) Tale of Two Fathers
NaNoWriMo Wordcount Update:
15031 / 50000 words. 30% done!
Remember that show, My Two Dads?
Yeah, I don't really remember it either. But today I was surfing through Plutarch's Theseus, skimming for reference to the Helen abduction, and, yes, I'll admit it, reading Theseus's entry in Wikipedia, (in my defense I also read about him in Apollodorus) and I came across some things that hadn't fully sunk in before.
For instance: Theseus has two fathers. And he isn't the only Greek Hero suffering from a redundancy of dads.
To understand this, maybe I need to go into the philosophy a little bit. You see, back in the day, men in their infinite wisdom operated under the common misconception that women really weren't more than just an oven. The sperm did all the work of making a baby, and the wife contributed little if nothing at all to the resulting offspring, other than providing the space for incubation. I'm pretty sure that I read this from an excerpt attributed to Aristotle in my Women in History course in college, but I can't promise it so don't quote me. Anyway, semen was the provider of all...well, they didn't really consider it genetic material then, so lets say, life-forming matter. As a result of this understanding (Aristotle did write before Apollodorus, who is a major source for Theseus, and certainly long before Plutarch and Ovid), if a woman had intercourse with two men in the same day, or the same night, the child born COULD be a mix of those two men--fathered by both.
We see the Dual-Dad syndrome in children born of the gods, pretty exclusively as far as I know, which is convenient because it relieves them of the burden of being illegitimate heirs. I have to admit, I'm not exactly sure what the lot of an illegitimate child was, but the fact that the children are labeled as such in works like The Iliad leads me to believe that they were probably not given the privileges of their legitimate brothers and sisters. Certainly Hera had no love for Zeus's bastard children, and legitimacy seems at the very least to be required of one who will inherit any kind of land, wealth, or kingdom.

China and the World Health Organization: Legal Accountability for the Spread of COVID-19

Disclaimer: Please note that the views expressed below represent the opinions of the article's author. The following does not necessarily represent the views of Law & Order.
The world order is witnessing an unprecedented meltdown due to the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus. The virus has exacerbated pre-existing political tensions emerging from China's exponential rise as a global superpower strong enough to threaten the pre-existing hegemony of the United States. The virus has brought the world to a standstill, with most countries under a lockdown. Nations have witnessed a high rate of pandemic-induced deaths that have severely burdened their health care systems and weakened their economies. As of 15 July 2020, 582,672 have fallen victim to the virus with 13,520,403 globally infected. [1] Even the Great Powers of the world are unable to counter the blow inflicted on the virus, as they continue to stand on shaky ground. The world economy has plummeted, with a global loss to the tune of 8.8 trillion USD as estimated by the Asian Development Bank (Reuters, 2020). Such colossal loss of life and capital raises one pertinent question: who is to be held accountable for this pandemic?
Chronology of events
The first case of the novel coronavirus was officially confirmed on 8 December 2019, when a seafood merchant from a wet market in Wuhan, China fell sick and displayed symptoms of “pneumonia of an unknown cause (PTI, 2020). Reports, however, suggest that signs of the spread of the virus had come to light in November, but this information was suppressed by Chinese authorities. The government categorically denied the existence of a newly emerging strain of the virus and destroyed the initial samples of testing conducted, rendering it impossible to track the source of the virus.
China did not notify the World Health Organization (WHO) until a few weeks had elapsed, nor did it take prompt domestic measures to curb the initial spread of the disease.
In an attempt to silence the whistleblowers, the Communist Party of China (CPC)threatened Dr. Li Wenliang, who provided the first alert on the development of the virus with legal consequences (Su, 2020). Eight other doctors were muzzled from issuing warnings (Griffiths, 2020). The State carried out extensive press censorship to downplay the number of infections, while simultaneously discouraging Chinese citizens to talk about the Wuhan virus on social media thereby limiting the information available in the public domain. The Chinese Government changed its narrative time and again to save its political reputation globally.
In early January, despite the spread of the virus throughout Wuhan, the WHO did “not recommend any specific health measures for travelers to and from Wuhan (World Health Organisation, 2020). It also advised nations against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China so as to not hurt the trade ambitions of China. By mid-January, the virus had traversed across Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam among others, way before it lingered in the cities of Shanghai and Hong Kong. China had effectively curtailed domestic travel, while international travel remained operational, letting 5 million passengers go through unscreened (Pinghui, 2020). was only on 23 January 2020 that Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus, was put under a state-imposed lockdown.
On 14 January 2020, the WHO denied the possibility of human-to-human transmission despite mounting evidence, while simultaneously snubbing the Taiwanese government-issued government-issued warning from 31 December 2019 (Givas, 2020). After causing a gross delay of 7 weeks, on 30 January 2020, the WHO finally decided to declare the novel coronavirus a ‘public health emergency’, after negligently letting the virus spread across 25 countries, confirming more than 120 cases outside the borders of China. Yet again, WHO heavily condemned any travel restrictions enforced against China by several countries like India, Australia, and the United States. The international body criticized the restrictions by stating that they would arouse "unnecessary fear and stigma, with limited benefits to public health."
The month of February witnessed an upsurge of cases throughout Europe and the Middle East, with the number of infections surpassing 82,000 globally. Even at this point, no social distancing norms were advised by the apex international health agency.
It was only after a month on 11 March 2020, that the WHO broke its silence and declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. However, by then the virus had already found its way into the most remote corners of the world — putting an end to 4000 lives and leaving 1,18,000 infected (Sharma, 2020).
Legal implications
The People's Republic of China, a signatory to the WHO's International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005, was obligated under Article 6 of the IHR to notify the WHO within 24 hours about any event likely to endanger international public health at large. Article 7 further requires signatories to disclose all relevant data concerning the health crisis to the body, on a continuous basis. China not only concealed information about the virus and the extent of its severity from the WHO and the world community but also compromised the status of health experts who wanted to alert the world about the virus hence, flagrantly violating Article 6 and 7 of the IHR. Article 11 in turn imposed responsibility upon the WHO to disseminate such information received by it to the other nations so that necessary measures could be taken by them at national and regional levels to mitigate the damage (World Health Organisation, 2005). The WHO in connivance with China withheld the extent of the outbreak acting in contravention to Article 11.
The ‘no-harm’ rule is a widely recognized principle of customary international law whereby a state is duty-bound to prevent, stop and redress significant transboundary harm to other States or their populations originating from or crossing their territory or any other area under their jurisdiction or control (Coco, Dias, 2020).
Various health experts have shown concern over China's "wildlife markets" wherein exotic animals such as porcupines, snakes, rats, etc. are butchered for sale. These animals are kept in cramped, unhygienic conditions like cages, where viruses spread easily through customers and vendors. Reports suggest that various infectious diseases seen in the past such as the SARS epidemic have also originated due to close contact between humans and wild animals (Maroon, 2002). The operation of such open wet markets created conditions conducive to the breakout of the novel coronavirus, that is transmitted to humans through bats The occurrence of the coronavirus disease has taken place in less than twenty years after the SARS epidemic of 2004. This clearly shows how China has failed to learn lessons from its own past. Nevertheless, these markets have been reopened with similar unsanitary conditions, under which similar virus outbreaks are inevitable. Thus, China violated the ‘no-harm’ principle by not establishing sufficient health standards, food regulation, public health, and safety norms, leading to the breakout of the virus.
The willful omissions on the part of China and the WHO turned the pandemic from a mere possibility to a reality. thus they should be made answerable before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). A clear case of malafide conduct has been made out making them accountable to pay for the injuries.
The question that lies before the Court is that of causal nexus which has been established in the case of Tehran hostages (1980) and Corfu Channel (1947). [2] The ICJ held that once it had been proved that the state had failed to avert the damage by not taking necessary measures, in violation of its duty, all the damages are ascribable to the state in their entirety unless they cause was too removed from the event. In both these cases, the perpetrators were held liable due to failure on their part to mitigate the damage.
The running of the wild wet markets under potentially hazardous conditions made China prone to the outbreak of the disease. It is, therefore, imperative for the ICJ to rule a judgment holding China and the WHO to pay reparations and set a precedent if the world is to be saved from the scourge of such future pandemics at the behest of a nation.
An alternative would be to impose heavy economic sanctions, tariffs, and trade embargos on China as a consequence of its negligence.
In fact, reports have suggested that Japan is already encouraging its companies to move their manufacturing units outside mainland China by providing stimulus packages to domestic businesses of amounts up to $2.2 billion (Gupta, 2020).
Additionally, countries need to formulate new long term and short term economic policies to tackle the anticipated changes in global supply chains post-COVID-19. They need to focus on reducing dependency on China, and in turn, create self-sufficient economies or rely on other trade-partners. This can be achieved by increasing employment and productivity, promoting the development of indigenous technologies, encouraging investments in domestic infrastructural projects, and improving research and development.
John Mill
China's opacity for the sake of saving its global reputation has led the world to suffer an enormous plight in terms of loss of lives, economic downfall, and mental agony. The blunders committed by the government, ranging from burying crucial information and intimidating the frontline doctors to delaying imposing a lockdown, have thwarted the efforts of other nations to curb the spread of the disease. Several questions have also been raised on WHO's credibility in discharging its duties as an international health agency, accusing the body of being overly sympathetic towards China and playing along with its malicious campaign.
However, the harsh truth remains that for now, the nations of the rely upon China and WHO for masks, antibody kits, and safety gears as well as routine updates on the global status of the pandemic. China is one of the largest exporters of medical supplies including drugs for Alzheimer's, HIV/AIDS, cancer as well as birth control pills. It is also the largest exporter of intermediary goods that help importing countries turn raw material into finished goods. If a vaccine is ever developed, China and the WHO will be vital players in its invention, production, distribution, and hence dependence on the two becomes inevitable. However, when the dust settles, nation-states should make sure that China faces suitable consequences, with the possibility of making appropriate reparations to the international community.
