the investigation in order to establish the truth about the death of flight МН17, and the real culprits of the incident suffered a fair punishment - said in a statement to the Russian Foreign Ministry. It should be noted that on May 30, 2019 at the international economic forum in Tokyo (Japan) dedicated to the development of Asian countries, the head of the Malaysian government, Mahathir Mohamad demandedso that his country would be provided with exhaustive (concrete and irrefutable) evidence of Russia's guilt in this disaster. He stressed that Malaysia accepted the report of the said commission only in that part where it says that the MH17 was shot down by a Russian (Soviet) missile. However, this does not prove that the aforementioned rocket was fired specifically by the Russian military. Many countries have such missiles, including Ukraine. In addition, he was outraged that the commission did not allow representatives of Malaysia to take notes on the “black box” of the airliner. It should be recalled that the Boeing flew along the route Amsterdam (Netherlands) - Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). He was shot down in the sky over the Donetsk region on July 17, 2014.

set in snowy nowheres, and it was directed by Renny Harlin — admittedly not a great sign but at least I’d heard of him. As soon as the movie started, I was astonished to discover it was about the same thing as the book I’d just picked up — the Dyatlov Pass incident — something I’d never even heard of until this bizarre coincidence. What a bizarre coincidence! Also: what a fascinating story! And man, is it ever the perfect fodder for a horror or sci-fi movie — why there haven’t been more of them, I have no idea. Before I get into specifics about the movie and the book, though, let me fill you in on a little background. This part is the true-story part. In the winter of 1959, a group of young adults in Russia decided to take a break from school and go ski-hiking into the Urals. They started out as a group of 10 (8 men, 2 women), but not long into the trek, one of them fell ill and had to turn back. The other 9, led by Igor Dyatlov, a 23 year-old student at Ural Polytechnic and highly skilled climber, had no concerns about their trip, despite the fact they were climbing in the snowy nowheres of Siberia in January — certainly not my first choice for camping. These guys knew what they were doing, though, and they were having a great time doing it. Photos from their trip show them goofing around, enjoying camp, laughing. It was clearly a blast. At least, it was until it wasn’t anymore. After their deadline to get back to town came and went, the group’s friends began to get worried. They soon put together a search team and headed up along the same path the Dyatlov group had taken. For five days, they found nothing. On the sixth day, they found the group’s tent, eerily set up inside as though the group had just been there and would be back any moment. Food was laid out. Several of the hikers’ boots were lined up by the tent entrance. But at the back of the tent was an ominous sign: a huge slash in the canvas, clearly made from the inside, as though something terrible had been coming in the front and the rear was their only way out. Eventually, all the hikers’ bodies were found, and

Several of the hikers’ boots were lined up by the tent entrance. But at the back of the tent was an ominous sign: a huge slash in the canvas, clearly made from the inside, as though something terrible had been coming in the front and the rear was their only way out. Eventually, all the hikers’ bodies were found, and

it became clear they had fled in a panic, separating from each other and running in wildly impractical, random directions. Most of them had frozen to death alone — they were all drastically under-dressed for the weather, many in what amounted to pajamas, and, as the boots in the tent had suggested, several were in their stocking feet. In Siberia. In January. Disturbingly, though, two of the bodies showed evidence of some kind of violence — one had a crushing head injury, the other was missing her tongue. Another two were found in an embrace, next to the embers of a small fire. And, weirdest of all, several of them had high levels of radioactivity on their clothing. Leading to the question: WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? First, the movie’s theory. Devil’s Pass is about a group of film students who decide to follow the path the Dyatlov group took and make a documentary about the incident. It’s essentially The Blair Witch Project, only set in Siberia instead of New Jersey — this, for me, was not a bad thing. After days of hiking in, the group finally gets to the place where the Dyatlov tent was discovered, and decide to call it a night, pitching their own tent essentially on the same spot where Igor’s had been. This, incidentally, would also not be my first choice for camping. While the others are setting up, the team leader and her buddy head out for some early poking around. It’s just trees and snows and hills and rocks and stuff — until they come across something plenty weird: a door. A door in the side of the mountain. Thumbs up! From there, the movie gets even more intriguing. Annnnnnd then it takes a sharp turn towards Hilariously Dumb. All in all, though, it’s not a terrible flick and I’d say it’s well worth a rental if you’re interested in some really crazy theories about what happened to Igor and his pals. Why the hell not? Speaking of really crazy theories, let’s move on. The non-fiction book Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident is written by a journalist, Donnie Eichar, who essentially does the same thing the kids in the movie did — he goes to the Northern Urals and hikes the same path, in

00 a.m. SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A polygamous community on the Utah-Arizona border has hired an outsider with no ties to the sister cities as its new police chief.Hildale, Utah, and... Home News Tesla asked to recall Model S, Model X over touchscreen failures, Report Tesla asked to recall Model S, Model X over touchscreen failures, Report U.S. safety regulators have asked Tesla to recall 158,000 vehicles over media control unit failures that cause the touchscreen displays to stop working, following a months-long investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The affected cars, made at Tesla’s Fremont, California, auto plant, include Tesla Model S sedans made between 2012 and 2018, and Model X SUVs in model years from 2016 to 2018. Tesla can refuse to conduct the recall, but would have to present a full explanation of why to NHTSA, which could then propose further action. A recall of 158,716 vehicles would represent around 10% of Tesla’s lifetime reported production through the end of 2020. Tesla produced its millionth electric vehicle in Mar. 2020, CEO Elon Musk tweeted at the time, and in the last three quarters of 2020 the company produced more than 400,000 additional vehicles. News of the letter was previously reported by Reuters. The memory devices in some Tesla MCUs have a limited “write cycle,” which means they — and therefore the media control unit itself — won’t work well, or at all, after they hit a certain number of program or erase cycles. Owners of affected Tesla vehicles previously told CNBC that the display on their media control units (or MCUs) would sometimes go blank, in part or in whole. The touchscreen issues interfered with drivers’ ability to use heat, air conditioning, defrost and defogging systems in their cars, or to use their rear view cameras and Tesla Autopilot features while parking and driving. In the letter, sent to Tesla’s vice president of legal Al Prescott, the federal vehicle safety authority wrote that Tesla’s MCU issues could increase the risk of drivers crashing due to the “possible loss of audible chimes, driver sensing, and alerts” that are part of Tesla Autopilot, the company’s advanced driver assistance system. Media control unit failure rates were as high as 17% in older Tesla Model S vehicles (made from 2012 to 2015)

and as high as 4% for cars made by Tesla from 2016 to 2018, the letter said. And the MCU failures are expected to increase as cars age and remain in use, NHTSA said, citing Tesla projections. “Given Tesla’s projects of MCU repairs, even MY [model year] 2018 subject vehicles will experience 100% failure of the MCU within approximately 10 years,” NHTSA investigators wrote. Tesla previously offered a “warranty expansion” to assuage customers upset over the defect. As CNBC reported then, some owners who had paid for media control unit replacements out of pocket, would be able to recoup their costs under the expanded warranty.

rights of stakeholders—employees, suppliers, community members, and yes shareholders—are considered in the quest for business success. And in doing so, the Business Roundtable is going backward, but in a good way. It is channeling the thoughts and beliefs of the most significant management thinker of the 20th century, Peter Drucker. For perspective, I consulted with Bruce Rosenstein, author of two books on Drucker including Create Your Future the Peter Drucker Way. Rosenstein said, “Drucker believed that the CEO’s first task was to ‘define the meaningful outside of an organization,’ which means they have to accurately understand their present reality.” Back in the Nineties when I was writing speeches for corporate leaders, “shareholder value” was a touchstone principle of many presentations. The concept was championed by two of that decade’s leading CEOs, Roberto Goizueta of Coca-Cola and Jack Welch of General Electric. And with good reason, both CEOs had seen the exponential valuation of their respective companies. Twenty-five years later, times have changed. Executives have broadened their view of their responsibility for society. In contrast to the government which is wrapped in partisan bickering and as a result remains in stasis, more and more corporate leaders are making their views known about the responsibility that corporations have to society. Also, millennial employees, now moving into higher levels of management, are pushing for such a change. Rosenstein, managing editor of the Drucker-inspired journal Leader to Leader, said, “Another ongoing task of CEOs and other managers was what he termed ‘systematic abandonment,’ which involves regularly listing your practices, products, and services, and determining which ones are no longer relevant or meaningful. Both individuals and organizations should rethink their situations often and reinvent when necessary.” Drucker Influence Drucker taught and wrote that a company was only as successful as the people running it. It was management’s job to draw the best from their people to be able to deliver value and service to customers. And that is what we see in the principles contained in the new BRT purpose statement. Principle 1: Investing in our employees. This starts with compensating them fairly and providing important benefits. It also includes supporting them through training and education that help develop new skills for a rapidly changing world. We foster diversity and inclusion, dignity and respect. Dignity and

Principle 1: Investing in our employees. This starts with compensating them fairly and providing important benefits. It also includes supporting them through training and education that help develop new skills for a rapidly changing world. We foster diversity and inclusion, dignity and respect. Dignity and

respect may seem “old fashioned,” but they need to be emphasized if diversity and inclusion are ever to be fully realized. When you regard, employees are contributors rather than workers, they become more motivated to deliver their best. Dealing fairly and ethically with our suppliers. We are dedicated to serving as good partners to the other companies, large and small, that help us meet our missions. No company succeeds without a robust supply chain, and this statement affirms the value that suppliers bring to their client companies. Gone should be the days of beating up suppliers over cost so that quality suffers. Supporting the communities in which we work. We respect the people in our communities and protect the environment by embracing sustainable practices across our businesses. Respect for community means respect for the environment, too. Sustainability in business can only occur when there are renewal and regeneration that uses resources responsibly and holds itself accountable for its environmental footprint. None of these principles will be fulfilled without a commitment to leadership. Today’s version of the BRT purpose statement reflects that responsibility toward all stakeholders; results will need to be proven. Steve Denning, author and senior contributor at Forbes.com, is not convinced: “The BRT statement seems to be less a clarification of corporate purpose and more a defensive reaction to the complaints about big business, particularly by the younger generation. In response, companies will now emphasize the good things that they claim to be doing, along with making money.” Let’s be honest. This purpose statement does not negate corporate miscues related to ethical transgressions that have harmed people and places. This new purpose statement may be nothing more than a public relations gesture. But I would like to believe that the women and men who are coming of age in their companies would take the principles inherent in this document and begin to act upon them.

If you are a new reader, the first section of this story can be found here.] River took a breath. It was warm. The air, real air, rushed through her lungs. She opened her eyes and found herself seated on a secluded bench in sprawling urban green

space. The bench was positioned alongside a brilliant marble walking path with lush, immaculately landscaped trees and greenery providing an even shaded coverage throughout the park. Several small birds could be seen playfully fluttering through the trees, and even a couple squirrels could be seen rustling through the bushes. Bright beams of uncannily white light filtered through the gaps between the foliage, giving the park a glowing atmosphere despite the shaded verdant canopy. Beyond the treeline were colossal ivory-white geometric high-rise towers in all directions, glistening in the sunlight as a monument to a breathtaking antediluvian metropolis. A woman's voice spoke from beside River, "Siltakos, planet Lejth. I had those same overwhelmed eyes the first time I looked upon it, as well." River jolted a little in surprise and looked over to the woman sitting next to her. She was an angel. There was simply no better way to describe the entrancing radiance of the celestial being seated beside River. She looked to be roughly a head taller than River and had a svelte build, but the regal toned form of a warrior goddess. Even more captivating, though, were her elysian facial features. She had silvery blonde hair and a flawless complexion so fair that she might as well be glowing. Like something out of a fairy tale, the woman had two enormous pointed ears protruding from under her gorgeous wavy locks. River gazed into the woman's lustrous brown eyes and blurted unthinkingly, "Are you my guardian angel?" The celestial returned River's eye contact with a piercing stare. She made a devilish grin and responded, “I might be. For your own sake, you certainly better believe that I am. Come, walk with me.” River rubbed her eyes, still starstruck. River heard what was being said, but for some reason the movements of the woman's lips didn't match up to the words that came out of her mouth. As the woman rose from the park bench, River took another moment to gawk at her stylish form-fitting outfit. Both River and the celestial woman were dressed in similar futuristic white skin-tight jumpsuits. The suits each had two large orange stripes running vertically along the outsides of the legs and then wrapping around to make an intricate orange pattern on the torso. They looked to be made of some sort of matte leathery material

17550 - Indonesia Can You Make a Slinky Out of Concrete? Sep 28 2022 • 12:52 PM When walking down the sidewalk, do you ever think “I wish this concrete was a slinky?” Probably not. The team behind YouTube’s Waterjet Channel clearly did at some point. They put it to the test with their high-pressured waterjet, cutting a spiral into concrete like it was butter. Based on previous attempts (fails really), they added wire mesh and fiberglass to strengthen the concrete. None of their experiments really hold up as a slinky you can play with, but that doesn’t stop them from sharing the results. The video above is a series of experiments as the team tries to make a better concrete slinky than in a previous video. But nothing really works to hold the spiral together. They were hoping to make slinkies more like their version using flooring tile and glass that were more like the metal and plastic versions we know and love. Concrete just isn’t the right medium, apparently. The trials are fun to watch though. For years, the team has cut a lot of stuff in half using a 60,000 PSI waterjet.

17550 - Indonesia Can You Make a Slinky Out of Concrete? Sep 28 2022 • 12:52 PM When walking down the sidewalk, do you ever think “I wish this concrete was a slinky?” Probably not. The team behind YouTube’s Waterjet Channel clearly did at some point. They put it to the test with their high-pressured waterjet, cutting a spiral into concrete like it was butter. Based on previous attempts (fails really), they added wire mesh and fiberglass to strengthen the concrete. None of their experiments really hold up as a slinky you can play with, but that doesn’t stop them from sharing the results. The video above is a series of experiments as the team tries to make a better concrete slinky than in a previous video. But nothing really works to hold the spiral together. They were hoping to make slinkies more like their version using flooring tile and glass that were more like the metal and plastic versions we know and love. Concrete just isn’t the right medium, apparently. The trials are fun to watch though. For years, the team has cut a lot of stuff in half using a 60,000 PSI waterjet. That’s 60,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. In comparison, pressure washers used to clean cars and houses use about 1,500 PSI. The water also comes out super-heated, which they remember the hard way after sticking their hand into the pool left behind after cutting one spiral.

The World’s First Verifiable Credentials By Steve Wilson The field of Verifiable Credentials is one of the hottest topics in the digital identity industry today. Commonly associated with blockchain and the Self-Sovereign Identity movement, Verifiable Credentials are in fact an old idea. It is instructive to break down their essential properties and examine the pioneering examples. Verify what? A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a technology sub-system for conveying a bundle of information about someone to a receiver, where the information originates from a trusted issuer. Popular examples include mobile driver licences, COVID vaccination certificates and proof of age, but we have had these sorts of electronic credentials for many years, including digital passports and chip credit cards. Even a radio frequency road toll tag can be considered a verifiable credential of sorts. One or two important things are verified through a modern verifiable credential. Firstly, the receiver can verify who issued the credential — because it is digitally signed by the issuer; secondly and ideally, the receiver can verify that the legitimate holder is involved whenever the credential is presented — because of a dynamic digital signature applied by the holder at transaction time. I stress that VCs are “technology sub-systems” not to make things complicated but because credentials only work as part of a business application within a specific context. Let’s speak as plainly as possible about this. The credential is almost always a simple "official" fact about one party of interest to a second party because it authorizes a transaction or business application. For example, If the application is an electronic prescription, then the context is a regulated health system with rules for the types of practitioners who can write various scripts, and the precise forms that the scripts must take. In that context, there are specific credentials that the participants must carry and rules governing how they behave. In every sphere of business there are credentials. A Verifiable Credential often digitizes a formal certificate of the holder’s bona fides (such as a membership, licence, qualification or official role) and enables the holder to present their credential electronically. It's simplay stated but a little more complex

TORONTO — Two Canadian nurses who spoke at an anti-lockdown rally in Washington, D.C., on the day of the deadly storming of the Capitol are under investigation by their regulatory body. One of them, who is already suspended from her work in neonatal intensive care, is also facing an investigation by her hospital in London, Ont. In a statement, the College of Nurse of Ontario acknowledged the investigation against Sarah Choujounian and Kristen Nagle. "We are aware of the information regarding travel to Washington," the college said. "The legislation does not permit us to provide details on the progress or ongoing status of this investigation." The London Health Science Centre said it had suspended Nagle without pay in November for attending an ant-masking rally in the southwestern Ontario city. An investigation was still ongoing into the earlier incident but the hospital said it was now aware of further actions "not aligned" with its values. "We want to assure our community that we take this situation and the new events that have come to light very seriously," the hospital said in a statement. "While we are not able to address the specifics of an internal investigation due to privacy." The hospital said it would likely complete its investigation within weeks. Nagle and Choujounian were both speakers at the Jan. 6 rally organized by a group called Global Frontline Nurses, which maintains "fraud is rampant" regarding the COVID-19 crisis inside and outside hospitals. The group said the speakers had seen "blatant deceit" with COVID reporting, and glaring mistreatment of patients first-hand. Neither woman responded to a request on Tuesday to discuss the situation. Choujounian, a registered practical nurse since 2004 who spent most of her career at a north Toronto nursing home until last year, has publicly decried COVID-19 vaccines as "experimental" and "unsafe."

promotion and use a "crime against humanity." At the Capitol rally, Choujounian, who said she had been fired, lashed out at treatment of people in long-term care, saying they were being treated like prisoners in solitary confinement. The situation, she said, was "devastating." "The lockdowns have been detrimental to their well-being," she told the crowd. "Many are dying of failure to thrive and others from broken hearts all by themselves." For her part, Nagle, a registered nurse since 2006, said nurses were being threatened for speaking out or holding contrary views but said that would not stop them standing up for the "truth." She also slammed policies she said isolate new mothers at a critical time. "We are sharing truth with you whatever the cost may be," Nagle said. "Nurses, it is our time to rise." Neither woman is reported to have been part of the pro-Donald Trump mob that stormed the Capitol in an effort to halt congressional certification of the presidential vote. Global Frontline Nurses said it was organizing a news conference on Jan. 21 and called on nurses willing to speak out to come forward.

The Air Force also said it had evacuated 12 patients from hospitals in the state capital Manaus to the northern city of Sao Luis overnight, with hospitals at breaking point with no oxygen supplies and overflowing intensive care wards. Mass graves were dug in Manaus during the first wave of the pandemic last year. The body of a New Brunswick man who died in a workplace accident in northern Alberta earlier this week has been recovered. Patrick Poitras, 25, of Saint-André, N.B., near Grand Falls, was operating a dozer when it fell through ice on an inactive tailings pond on Wednesday afternoon. The accident occurred at the Suncor Base Plant mine north of Fort McMurray. The RCMP confirmed Poitras's death to his family in New Brunswick on Wednesday but had not recovered the body at the time. Suncor said in an email early Saturday that its emergency responders recovered

The defendant called 999 at 3.23pm the next day. He said he was suicidal and wanted to kill himself. The court heard he then made a series of further 999 calls in March. Mr Quinn added: “He made in excess of 37 calls. Some lasted 20 minutes. He said he suffered from anxiety and depression and was alcohol dependent. “He said he realised he should not contact the police but he continued with the same misconduct.” The calls continued into April and he made three on April 20 before being arrested later that day. Williamson, of Masterson Street, Fenton, pleaded guilty to persistently making use of a public communication network to cause annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety to another between February 25 and April 20. Garath Davies, mitigating, said: “In the last 15 or 16 months something has happened and he seeks solace in the bottom of a bottle and becomes a nuisance.” District Judge Timothy Boswell said the calls were a waste of valuable police resources. He said: “You have a problem with alcohol. You are also suffering from mental health and physical health problems. But calling the police on 999 is not the way to deal with things. “By taking up police time - some calls were for 19 or 20 minutes - you are taking their resources away from genuine cases and potential emergencies. That is why it is so serious. “I hope you are able to stop yourself from calling 999 unnecessarily.” Williamson must also pay a £122 surcharge.

into the avuncular Bay-bred, LA-based jazz fusion legend. Once you knew, you understood why he was one of the greatest players of the last half century. If Duke’s keyboards sounded familiar, that’s because they were. He was the ultimate musician’s musician’s. That’s a cliche, but Duke’s notes never were. That’s why he played on Off the Wall and with Miles Davis and Frank Zappa and classical musician, Jean-Luc Ponty. That’s range and virtuosity. As Dam-Funk tweeted in requiem: he used some of the smoothest chords in his creation. He had heart. I spoke to George last year for a series of concerts he played at the Catalina Jazz Grill in celebration of his 66th birthday. He had Stephen Bruner, Thundercat’s brother on drums, and they were in the trio formation, blasting astral jams and cosmic keyboard riffs that worked some weird nerves that you forgot you had. Fusion taken to the furthest realm, as though Duke had visited planets no telescope had ever spotted, smoked a hookah with the inhabitants, and returned back to earth to play the role of genial Uncle Phil of Funk. The profile is here if you’re interested. I can run the full Q&A if there is demand. Duke came down to LA in his mid-20s and never left. He joined Zappa’s band shortly after the move, settling in Chatsworth when there were still farms that woke him up every morning at 5:30 a.m. with a rooster. Eventually he moved to Hollywood to be closer to Zappa’s complex at 5831 Hollywood Blvd. They rehearsed there in a massive facility, with Zappa in full fascist mode. But when I asked Duke about it, he said that for all Zappa’s bad reputation, he was always kind to him. He said the same thing about Miles. You didn’t need to demand more from Duke, he was a master. He was instrumental in the advent of jazz fusion, a sub-genre that got a bad reputation in the 80s with it’s dentist’s office Kenny G solos. But when Duke was bridging modal notes with rock beats in the late 60s and early 70s, it was practically revolutionary. An experimental musician at heart, he

needs. Your brand has to appeal to both the practical — what you can provide physically — and the emotional — the desires, aspirations, fears, needs, interests and passion. Successful brands appeal to the heart, not the mind. For Nike it’s not just about improving athletic performance, it’s about skill and image. Coca Cola invokes happiness and memorable experiences. What is it that makes Apple fans to queue for days waiting to buy their latest offering if not the emotional connection? “Apple is cool, the hipster of technology and they have achieved a level of fanaticism with their customers by being the pinnacle of innovation and design and then continually reinforcing the message,” writes Grow columnist Steve Goldner. One has to look for the emotional angle in what he or she offers to customers and other audiences. If you are a hairdresser, for example, it’s not about a haircut but it’s enhancing the client’s image or self-esteem. A mechanic will gun for satisfaction and not just fix the car. What is your emotional connection? Is it creating excitement? Invoking the ‘traditional’ feel? Healthy living or environmental consciousness? Take your pick. Whatever the hook you choose make sure it creates that emotional connection to your brand. Emotional brands have a significant impact when the consumer experiences a strong and lasting attachment to the brand comparable to a feeling of bonding, companionship or even love. Steve Golder writes that one has to create a brand where winning is a shared experience and then reinforce it. “When building emotion into your brand, think about leading your customer through a continuum: Emotional Stage 1: How you get someone interested Emotional Stage 2: How do you get someone to consider purchasing your product/service? Emotional Stage 3: How do you continually reinforce that their purchase decision was absolutely the right decision, the ‘winning’ decision? Emotional Stage 4: How do you create a loyal customer such that they want to continue to buy your product/service? Emotional Stage 5: How do you create a brand ‘ritual’ so that the brand becomes a part of your customer’s life? Emotional Stage 6: How do you get your audience to be your cheerleader? This last stage is worth commenting on. It has been found to be a fact that customers will be your most willing advocates. People

who have bought your products and their conversations, recommendations and perceptions are the most powerful branding tools. So what this means is that the emotional connection is built from the quality of service provision that you deliver. That is the bottom line. It’s the firm and tangible foundation on which emotional connection is built. Not the other way around. I wrote in a previous article Branding 101 that word of mouth is the most powerful form of advocacy and endorsement. Your service gets noticed when people who have personally experienced your exceptional delivery tell others about it. There is the added dimension of social media were online comments about service transgressions are shared on a global platform and how businesses are joining in those conversations. That will be subject of an upcoming article. The same principles are applicable in the events management industry which is principally about service provision. The growing competition in this sector points to that fact that those entities that are more creative in presenting their brands to the market are bound to stand out. This demands a bit of research on what is out there in terms of brand marketing. However, at the heart of all this is that age-old adage of ‘putting customers first.’ People feel bonded with those brands that demonstrate they understand their customer’s needs and motivations. Nyimpini Mabunda, Smirnoff Vodka Marketing Manager, describes this phenomenon aptly, “Customers define themselves through brands they use. The branded clothes they wear, the cars they drive, the drinks they consume, university they attended, favourite spots to hang out, and so on.” The success to emotionally brand your company will show when it becomes hard for your customer to separate themselves from your brand and begin a new relationship with another.

You Love, Awaiting the King, which we invited him to speak here at this very room just a few years ago tonight, in addition to his most recent work, which he’ll be discussing. In addition, Jamie served as the past editor in chief of Comment Magazine, as well as the brand-new editor-in-chief of Image Journal. His popular writing has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Books and Culture, First Things, and The Washington Post. And last, but certainly not least, I am very proud to say that he is a senior fellow of the Trinity Forum. He and his wife, Deanna, are parents of four children, live in Michigan, and we’re really delighted that Deanne could join us as well tonight. So responding to Jamie will be Elizabeth Bruenig. Elizabeth or Liz is an opinion columnist at The Washington Post, where she writes on Christianity, politics, and public life, and earlier this year was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. She received her master’s in philosophy and Christian theology at the University of Cambridge, where she studied as a martial scholar and wrote her thesis on Saint Augustine. Previously, she was an editor for the Post “Outlook” and Post “Everything” sections, a staff writer at the New Republic, and her essays and reviews have appeared in The Washington Post, The Nation, The Atlantic, Boston Review, Jacobin Magazine, First Things, and many more. She lives here in D.C. with her husband, Matt, who has also joined us tonight, as well as her two daughters, and I’m honored and delighted to note that she’s actually joined us from maternity leave tonight. So thank you very much for that, Liz. After Jamie provides his keynote remarks and Liz gives a response, we’ll have a brief, moderated conversation between the three of us, followed by questions from the audience. Jamie, welcome. Jamie Smith: Thank you so much. Cherie, thanks for that warm welcome. It’s always a treat to partner with the Trinity Forum, and I also just want to echo my thanks to Liz for being part of tonight. I think a lot of people are—it’s a full house because Liz is here and I’m totally OK with [that]. I know Deanna is here because Liz is here, so I’m really excited about

I think a lot of people are—it’s a full house because Liz is here and I’m totally OK with [that]. I know Deanna is here because Liz is here, so I’m really excited about

the conversation. My passion, my hope, my goal for this book is to make the case that this ancient African bishop has sort of read our postmodern email and knows us better than we know ourselves, but also holds out and offers to our cultural moment a very different account and invitation of how to be human. So what I want to do tonight is I want to—I’m not going to talk about sex, you’ll be disappointed to hear. Or death, so you can, you’re welcome. But what I would like to do is give you a feel for how and why I think actually we’ve been influenced by Augustine more than we realize and how he offers us an alternative. And I want to start by maybe getting us to appreciate the extent to which we have all in late modernity in Western societies been schooled by invisible philosophies that we might never have read, but have nonetheless trickled down to us in the water we swim in, of film and television and literature and drama, and that in a way we are living out stories that have been handed down to us from philosophers you might never have heard of. The one figure I want to just offer a footnote to is the German philosopher—I went to Villanova University to study for my doctorate—Martin Heidegger. And I just want to say a little bit about Heidegger. So Martin Heidegger is in some ways— 90 percent of you’ve never heard of him. That’s exactly right. And yet you are more Heideggerian than you realize, only insofar as Heidegger was sort of the father of existentialism. And it is from existentialism that we all inherited the language of authenticity, of finding ourselves, of this quest for identity and so on. And what’s interesting is there’s this trickle-down effect then, where all of us assume that we are on this quest to find ourselves, to forge our identities, to be authentic, to resist inauthenticity. And in many ways, that’s the inheritance of philosophical streams of thought that have trickled down from Germany and France in the middle of the 20th century. I won’t get into this too much tonight, but one long subtext of the book is— Here’s the interesting thing: I went to Villanova, which is an Augustinian Catholic university, by the way. I went there to study Martin Heidegger. It turns

The lead single from the album, "Pretty Pimpin", was Vile's best performing song to date, topping the Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart in March 2016. His 2017 release, Lotta Sea Lice, is a collaboration with Australian singer and guitarist Courtney Barnett. His latest album, Bottle It In, was released on October 12, 2018. Beginnings (1994–2002)Edit Vile grew up in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, and is the third oldest of ten children born to Charles and Donna Vile.[4][5] Although his surname is occasionally assumed to be a pseudonym or a pun on German composer Kurt Weill, it is his real birth name and the similarity to Weill's name is a coincidence.[6][5] At the age of fourteen, Kurt Vile was given a banjo by his father, with Vile noting, "I kind of wished [it] was a guitar. So I'd kind of just play it like a guitar anyway. I was really into writing pretty primitive tunes, and really into recording. I pretty much knew I was going to do music [with my life] then."[7] Vile began writing songs on the banjo, describing his first self-penned track as: "a joke song. It was a good instrumental; I knew all these chords, but then I was quoting a cartoon as the lyrics on top of it. I had seen this cartoon about Superman and Lex Luthor; it was like the back history of why Lex Luthor hated Superman. They used to be friends, and then some giant stone of kryptonite fell and it made Lex Luthor's hair fall out, and he was like, 'You made all my hair fall out!' It was a really stupid cartoon, but that was my song, 'You Made All My Hair Fall Out'."[8] Three years later, Vile created his first "mass-produced" tape at the age of seventeen. Influenced by Pavement, Beck, Smog and the record label, Drag City, Vile noted, "I really thought I could be on Drag City. I really wanted that. I heard these people that made good music but it was still pretty raw, and had this real cult quality."[7] While working on his home

. It is, perhaps a little strained, as in her explanation of the drifting away of men from the stockade in the hours immediately preceding the attack and her suggestion that rape might have been one of the outrages committed in the aftermath. Both of these are offered only as suggestions- and historians can make suggestions, with evidence- but at this point the murmurings and conversations of her informants who have borne her so confidently through the rest of the narrative drop away, and it is only her voice left speaking. And a distinctive voice it is. Clare Wright often appears on Australian history documentaries- for example, in Utopia Girls– where her narrative voice is warm, with a burble of humour. It struck me when reading this book that it is a particularly visual work, staged and narrated much as a lengthy documentary might be. The chapters are divided into scenes, marked with asterisks, as the action swings from one character to another, and many conclude with ‘cliff-hanger’ comments that lead onto the next scene. It is sustained throughout the whole book, which at 458 pages is a lot of talking. It is such an insistent, strong voice that I think that your response to the book would be very much influenced by how you respond to the teller. That said, this is one of those books that would make you look at familiar events with new eyes. It is a compelling read that is well-researched and scholarly and at the same time very, very human. Yvonne Perkins at Stumbling Through the Past has written a very detailed review- well worth reading. This is my first review for the Australian Women Writers Challenge 2014. I’m b-a-a-c-k (Australian Women Writers Challenge 2014) A new year, and time to sign up to the Australian Women Writers Challenge for 2014. It’s the third year that I’ve been involved in this, and its website is turning into a handy little resource for reviews on Australian women’s writing. The challenge was provoked by the Miles Franklin shortlist of a few years ago that was comprised solely of male writers. I strongly suspect that a similar situation may arise again this year with the Holy Trinity of Franklin, Winton and Tsiolkas all releasing books during 2013. We shall see.

pages is a lot of reading in anyone’s language. I have been busy reading The Luminaries every chance I could to avoid a hefty overdue fine at the library. I thought that I had succeeded in avoiding reading any reviews of it before I finished, but there was one that did get through my defences: Jane Sullivan’s review in The Age a fortnight ago. And there it was- That’s one of the main objections to the book: that it’s too long. Others, variously, are that it shouldn’t be written in ponderous Victorian style; that it has too many characters and we don’t care about them; that the astrology framework doesn’t enhance it; and that the story, clever as it is, doesn’t add up to anything much. Well, that’ s pretty much written my review for me. I was reminded many times of Wilkie Collins’ The Woman in White while I was reading this book. Both are long; both are mysteries; both are about switched identities, and both involve deception for financial gain. But the difference is that The Woman in White was highly original at the time, and is today viewed by many as the first mystery novel, and the first and finest ‘sensation’ novel. What a gulf there is between being the first and being merely a pastiche. For Victorian pastiche this is, complete with convoluted (but always well controlled) sentences, the summary at the beginning of each chapter, and the opening scenes on a dark and stormy night. As in most Victorian novels conceived in the serial format of a periodical (think Dickens, Collins…), there is a huge cast of characters who swarm in and out of view, with false starts and red herrings, and the need for the author to draw breath and offer the occasional recap to the bemused reader lest everything threaten to spiral out of control. I find myself admiring many things about the book. Her characterization is excellent, and I found myself becoming engaged by each vignette as actors gravitated around one another. Her characters are complex beings, each with a back story, dreams and regrets. The conversation is pitch-perfect. Her description of place is excellent, too. You could see, hear and smell Hokitika, and as an historian of 19th century colonial towns (ah, always an historian!) it rang true in every regard- not a single false note.

its ongoing commitment to "High Speed for Here" in the communities where it provides broadband. Locally Sourced Soul is a partnership between Kinetic and local photographers within its 18-state footprint to create beautiful, authentic images that capture the heart and soul of their region. The images will be used in ongoing local communications and advertising campaigns, including mailers, social media, in retail stores and more. "Through this partnership, we can share what truly makes the towns we work and live in special, through the lens of photographers who also find the beauty in their own hometowns," said Christy Drummond, director of local marketing at Kinetic. While the photographers for Locally Sourced Soul range from amateur to professional, each captures the heart and soul of their town in their own unique way. Kinetic is proud to partner with 10 photographers from across the country, including: Esther Ellyn in Lexington, Ky. Gabe Mcmullen in Ephrata, Penn. Graeme Cuizon in Hastings, Neb. James Wayne in Broken Arrow, Okla. Jois Joubert in Sugarland, Texas Joshua Redwine in Lincoln, Neb. Kyle Long in Granville, Ohio Maddy Green in Texarkana, Texas Paul Cotter in Concord, N.C. Blake Guffin in North Georgia The Locally Sourced Soul initiative is yet another example of how Kinetic is investing in the local communities it serves beyond a commitment to deliver reliable, high-speed broadband. Most recently, Kinetic partnered with local artists in several communities, including Texarkana, Texas; Concord, N.C., and Moultrie, Ga., to produce large-scale exterior murals that depict what makes those towns and regions unique. Many of the custom murals feature the phrase, "Proud to be From Here" to make a powerful statement about their community.

The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a person concerned, is always carried out in line with the Federal Data Privacy Act (BDSG), the EU General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) that comes into force on 25/05/2018, and any laws which likewise apply. With this data privacy statement, our company would like to provide information on the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data processed by us, and explain to persons concerned what rights they are entitled to assert. Our company has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures in order to ensure that any personal data processed is protected as comprehensively as possible. Web-based data transmission may, however, possibly contain security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Our company’s data privacy statement is based on the General Data Privacy Regulation (DS-GVO/GDPR). It is formulated so as to be easy to read and understood. In order to ensure this, we are explaining the terms used in advance: 1.1 Personal data Personal data is “any information which relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as either ’affected person‘ or ’person concerned‘). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be directly or indirectly identified, in particular by means of being allocated to an identifier, such as a name, an ID number, site data, an online identifier or one or more special features which are the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of said natural

person” (see Art. 4(1) of the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR)). 1.2 Person concerned/affected person A person concerned or affected person is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing. 1.3 Processing Processing is any procedure carried out with or without the aid of automated methods, or any such sequence of procedures in connection with personal data, such as the gathering, recording, organising, ordering, storage, adaptation or amendment of data, the reading out of it, querying of it, use, disclosure of it by way of transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, the comparison or linking of it, or the limitation, deletion or destruction of it. 1.4 Limitation of processing Limitation of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing. 1.5 Profiling Profiling means any kind of automated processing of personal data where such personal data is used to assess certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular in order to analyse or predict aspects in regard to work performance, economic position, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, place of residence or change of location of such natural person. 1.6 Pseudonymisation Pseudonymisation means processing personal data in the case where the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific person concerned without drawing upon additional information. Such additional information that is subject to the technical and organisational measures is stored separately, and it is thus guaranteed that the personal data cannot be allocated to an identified or identifiable natural person. 1.7 Responsible party or party responsible for the processing The party responsible, or the party responsible for processing the information, is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which decides, either alone or together with others, for the purpose and means of processing personal data. 1.8 Contract data processor A contract data processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the party responsible. 1.9 Recipient The recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to whom or which personal data is disclosed, irrespective of whether the latter is a third party or not. Authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a particular investigation mandate under EU law or the law of the Member States are not, however, deemed recipients. 1

” In a brief filed earlier this month, Bass Pro said applying the Teamsters framework would create “settlement pressures amounting to judicial blackmail.” In an earlier brief of its own, the EEOC argued that “the fact that employers’ cost/benefit assessment of continued litigation frequently leads them to settle should not preclude the Commission from using the Teamsters framework.” Analog sound vs. digital sound Analog sound versus digital sound compares the two ways in which sound is recorded and stored. Actual sound waves consist of continuous variations in air pressure. Representations of these signals can be recorded in either digital or analog formats. An analog recording is one where the original sound signal is modulated onto another physical medium or substrate such as the groove of a gramophone disc or the iron oxide surface of a magnetic tape. A physical quality in the medium (e.g., the intensity of the magnetic field or the path of a record groove) is directly related, or analogous, to the physical properties of the original sound (e.g., the amplitude, phase, etc.) A digital recording is produced by converting the physical properties of the original sound into a sequence of numbers, which can then be stored and played back for reproduction. The accuracy of the conversion process depends on the sampling rate (how often the sound is sampled and a related numerical value is created) and the sampling depth (how much information each sample contains, which can also be described as the maximum numerical size of each sampled value). However, unlike analog recording which depends critically on the long-term durability of the "fidelity of the waveforms" recorded on the medium, the physical medium storing digital samples is essentially immaterial in playback of the encoded information so long as the original sequence of numbers can be recovered. Main differences It is a subject of debate whether or not analog audio is superior to digital audio or vice versa. The question is highly dependent on the quality of the systems (analog or digital) under review, and other factors which are not necessarily related to sound quality. Arguments for analog systems include the absence of fundamental error mechanisms which are present in digital audio systems, including aliasing, quantization noise, [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1430/is_n5_v17/ai_16368605/pg_1] and supposed limitations in dynamic range.

Advocates of digital point to the high levels of performance possible with digital audio, including excellent

linearity in the audible band and low levels of noise and distortion (Sony Europe 2001). Accurate, high quality sound reproduction is possible with both analog and digital systems. One of the most limiting aspects of analog technology is the sensitivity of analog media to physical degradation. The principal advantages that digital systems have is very uniform source fidelity, inexpensive media duplication (and playback) costs, direct use of the digital 'signal' in today's popular portable storage and playback devices. Analog recordings by comparison require comparatively bulky, high-quality playback equipment to capture the signal from the media as accurately as digital. Analog equipment imperfections may cause distortions like wow, flutter, tape hiss or when the medium becomes worn (as in the case of a vinyl record), surface noise. Some of these distortions can be addressed using timebase correction, as is done in VHS tapes, filtering or high-quality components. Time-instability in PCM digital systems (jitter) may be audible on some signals, particularly sinusoids (Rumsey & Watkinson 1995, Dunn 2003:34). As of 2008, all audiophile and consumer grade digital systems now encode the clock (which if independent from the bit stream is the source of jitter) into the coded data itself. Early in the development of the Compact Disc, engineers realized that the perfection of the spiral of bits was critical to playback fidelity. A scratch the width of a human hair (100 microns) could corrupt several dozen bits, resulting in at best a pop, and far worse, a loss of synchronization of the clock and data, giving a long segment of noise until resynchronized. This was addressed by encoding the digital stream with a multi-tiered error-correction coding scheme which reduces CD capacity by about 20%, but makes it tolerant to hundreds of surface imperfections across the disk without loss of signal. In essence, "error correction" can be thought of as "using the mathematically encoded backup copies of the data that was corrupted." Error correction allows digital formats to tolerate quite a bit more media deterioration than analog formats. That is not to say poorly produced digital media are immune to data loss. Laser rot was most troublesome to the Laserdisc format, and was caused by inadequate disc manufacture. There can occasionally be difficulties related to the use of consumer recordable/rewritable compact discs. This may be due to poor-quality CD recorder drives or low-quality discs. Unlike analog duplication, digital copies are usually exact clones, which can be

which commits GateHouse Media to paying regardless of how high those fees might rise, Carmack refused. Carmack also initially denied a portion of the request upfront — that of the midwives’ addresses — going against decades of opinions issued by her own office. At the time, she cited no statute exempting the addresses despite multiple requests to do so. In a follow-up phone conversation, Carmack said GateHouse Media could file a lawsuit if it wanted the addresses. GateHouse Media journalists tweeted about the situation, piquing the interest of several open-records advocates. The nonprofit open-records organization MuckRock blasted the state for “reach(ing a) new milestone in barriers to access.” And the Alabama Sunlight Coalition plans to publish advertisements criticizing the state’s response to the records request. GateHouse Media refused to complete the form and further argued it was entitled to the midwives’ addresses. “The Alabama Supreme Court has condemned precisely the sort of selective government decision-making that the record here demonstrates, admonishing that the Open Records Act is not ‘an avenue for public officials to pick and choose what they believe the public should be made aware of,’ ” wrote GateHouse Media attorney Charles Tobin in a four-page letter to Carmack on April 2. The letter was sent on behalf of GateHouse Media, The Tuscaloosa News and The Gadsden Times. Tobin criticized both the two-page form and the denial of addresses, citing numerous statutes, attorney general opinions and legal cases in support of his position. He urged Carmack to release the records by that Friday without charge. Carmack responded that she would release most of the records without charge and without requiring completion of the form. But she continued to argue against releasing the midwives’ addresses, this time citing a section of the law that allows for exemption when providing the records could be detrimental to public safety or welfare. This is despite the fact the Alabama Attorney General’s Office has issued opinions that the addresses of other professional state licensees and group members are subject to public disclosure, including plumbers, gas fitters, workers compensation insureds, and members of the Peace Annuity Fund. “We fail to see, in light of your office’s contrary legal opinion as to these categories of individuals, why your office now believes the ‘public safety and welfare’ is served by withholding the

addresses of state-licensed health professionals such as midwives,” Tobin responded in an email. Carmack relented when GateHouse Media clarified that it was interested in midwives’ mailing addresses; not necessarily home addresses. The board updated its website Friday to include the licensing information requested and released three of the six midwives’ mailing addresses via email. The other three were not available and will be provided as soon as possible, Carmack said. The request was made in pursuit of a follow-up story to GateHouse Media’s series on the rise and risk of out-of-hospital births, “Failure to Deliver.” When the project published in November 2018, Alabama had not begun issuing licenses to non-nurse midwives. Only six midwives have been licensed since then. GateHouse Media has filed more than 130 similar requests for information about certified nurse midwives, licensed midwives and birth center licensing information in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including a request to the Alabama Board of Nursing, which fulfilled the request without cost. “I commend your organization for the fortitude to keep pushing. I think it shows that when our government is put in a position where they have to release records, it’s a benefit to all of us,” said Carla Crowder of the Alabama Sunlight Coalition. “It is just too easy for public officials to withhold or to make it incredibly difficult for journalists, and any member of the public, to access records that can show information that’s important to the wellbeing of the people of our state. It shouldn’t take attorneys getting involved for public records to be released.” Lucille Sherman is a national data enterprise reporter for GateHouse Media.

big names and that’s what’s going to have to happen to get Machado to St. Louis. They Don’t Need A Shortstop Paul DeJong just signed a six-year extension with the Cardinals to be their shortstop after and impressive rookie campaign in 2017. This year his offense hasn’t been as good, but he’s still been solid up the middle on defense and is without a doubt an everyday big league shortstop. That could pose an issue in the attempt to land Machado though. Machado has made it known from the beginning of 2018 that he wants to play short, rather than third. Despite being a much inferior defender at short than third, it looks like he’s sticking with his guns in LA. The Dodgers do have a very good third baseman, Justin Turner, who factors into Machado playing short, but that’s part of the reason he’s in Los Angeles in the first place. The Cardinals need is at the hot corner, so for Machado to accept a deal to St. Louis, he’s going to have to agree to go back to his normal position with limited opportunities at short. Josh Donaldson is another free agent this season and he has no problem playing third base. The Cards have been associated with Donaldson since last season when it was rumored he was on the trading block. They missed out on him back in August though, when he went to Cleveland, which might indicate their level of interest in getting him. Donaldson does have a history of injury and hasn’t exactly over-performed in 2018. Still, he is a former MVP and plays very good defense and is going to be much less expensive than Machado. He hasn’t been shy about his desire to play in Toronto, but the Blue Jays just traded him for next to nothing, so the feelings might not be mutual. Patrick Wisdom Finally, the Cardinals already have a third baseman in their system and on their roster at the moment in Patrick Wisdom. Wisdom is big league ready at 27 years old, after spending the better part of six seasons in the Minor Leagues, and is only going to be better by next spring. He’s struggled a little lately, but his potential is still there and he’s displayed his ability at times this season with the Cardinals. Last year he hit 31 homers at Triple-A and he’s hit three with the Cards this season in

As he was entering to a big round of applause from the group of 25 bloggers he said, “You know I’m not Cate Blanchett, right? I know, I know.. I used to get called Cate all the time when I was nineteen. ‘Cause I look like her.” Domnhall then went on to make us laugh many times during our 20 minute interview. This guy is funny and real! Why Domnhall Didn’t Watch The Last Jedi Until Premiere Night “They had a screening for the cast, but I decided I would rather see it with like two thousand people who don’t know what’s going to happen – just the feeling in the room. At the Force Awakens, that premiere was insane. I was there with my dad and my friend Lawrence. Like what the hell is going on. Like, whoops and cheering and big gasps and everything.

is at least equal to the radius of the opinion graph, the infinite one-dimensional system fluctuates and clusters while the probability that the finite system reaches ultimately a consensus, i.e., fixates in a configuration where all the individuals share the same opinion, is bounded from below by a positive constant that does not depend on the size of the spatial structure.

is at least equal to the radius of the opinion graph, the infinite one-dimensional system fluctuates and clusters while the probability that the finite system reaches ultimately a consensus, i.e., fixates in a configuration where all the individuals share the same opinion, is bounded from below by a positive constant that does not depend on the size of the spatial structure.

In fact, except when the threshold is at least equal to the diameter, in which case

all three conclusions of the theorem turn out to be trivial, when the threshold is at least equal to the radius, both the~$\tau$-center and its complement are nonempty, and therefore form a partition that satisfies~\eqref{eq:fluctuation}. In particular, fluctuation also holds when the radius is not more than the threshold. We also point out that the last part of the theorem implies that the average domain length in the final absorbing state scales like the population size, namely~$\card \mathscr V$. This result applies in particular to the constrained voter model where the opinion graph is a path with three vertices interpreted as leftists, centrists and rightists, thus contradicting the conjecture on domain length scaling in~\cite{vazquez_krapivsky_redner_2003}. \indent We now seek for sufficient conditions for fixation of the infinite one-dimensional system, beginning with general opinion graphs. At least for the process starting from the uniform product measure, these conditions can be expressed using $$ N (\Gamma, s) \ := \ \card \{(i, j) \in V \times V : d (i, j) = s \} \quad \hbox{for} \quad s = 1, 2, \ldots, \mathbf{d}, $$ which is the number of pairs of opinions at opinion distance~$s$ of each other. In the statement of the next theorem, the function~$\ceil{\,\cdot \,}$ refers to the ceiling function. \begin{theorem} -- \label{th:fixation} For the opinion model on~$\mathbb{Z}$, fixation occurs \begin{enumerate} \item[a.] when~\eqref{eq:uniform} holds and \begin{equation} \label{eq:th-fixation} \begin{array}{l} S (\Gamma, \tau) \ := \ \sum_{k > 0} \,((k - 2) \,\sum_{s : \ceil{s / \tau} = k} \,N (\Gamma, s)) \ > \ 0, \end{array} \end{equation} \item[b

enough to make us cautious about using QuickSampler since, when the Eq. 1 heuristics fails, it seems to fail very badly. We recommend: [backgroundcolor=gray!10,roundcorner=3pt] Conclusion #1: Eq. 1 should not be used without a verification of the resulting test. By way of comparisons, it is useful to add here that Snap verifies every test case it generates. This is practical for Snap, but impractical for QuickSampler since these two systems typically process 102 to 108 test cases, respectively. In any case, another reason to recommend Snap over QuickSampler is that the former delivers tests suites where 100% of all tests are valid. Fig. 4: RQ2 results: Normalized compression distance (NCD) observed when QuickSampler and Snap terminated on the same case studies. Median results over 30 runs (and the small black lines show the 75th-25th variations). Same color scheme as Table II. Fig. 5: RQ3 results: Time to terminated (seconds), The y-axis is in log scale. The Snap sampling time for s1238_a_3_2 and parity.sk_11_11 is not reported since their achieved NCD were much worse than QuickSampler’s (see Fig. 4). Fig. 6 illustrates the corresponding speedups. V-B RQ2: How Diverse are the Snap Test Cases? As stated in our introduction, diverse test suites are better since they cover more parts of the code. A concern with Snap is that, since it explores fewer tests than QuickSampler its tests suites could be far less diverse. Fig. 4 compares the diversity of the test suites generated by our two systems. These results are expressed as ratios of the observed NCD values. Results less than one indicate that Snap’s test suites are less diverse than QuickSampler. In that figure, we see that occasionally, Snap’s faster test suite generation means that the resulting test suites are much less diverse (see s1238_3_2 and parity.sk_11_11). That said, while QuickSampler’s tests are more diverse, the overall difference is usually very small. Also, RQ1 showed us that many of the QuickSampler tests are invalid. This means that the diversity numbers reported for QuickSampler are somewhat inflated since invalid tests would not enter the branches they are meant to cover.

Hence, overall, we say: [backgroundcolor=gray!10,roundcorner=3pt] Conclusion #2: The diversity of Snap’s test suites are not markedly worse than those of QuickSampler. V-C RQ3: How Fast is Snap? Fig. 5 shows the execution time required for Snap and QuickSampler. The y-axis of this plot is a log-scale and shows time in seconds. These results are shown in the same order as Table II. That is, from left to right, these case studies grow from around 300 to around 3,000,000 clauses. For the smaller case studies, shown on the left, Snap is sometimes slower than QuickSampler. Moving left to right, from smaller to larger case studies, it can be seen that Snap often terminates much faster than QuickSampler. Fig. 6 is a summary of Fig. 5 that divides the execution time for both systems. From this figure it can be seen: [backgroundcolor=gray!10,roundcorner=3pt] Conclusion #3: Snap was 10 to 3000 times faster than QuickSampler (median to max). There are some exceptions to this conclusion, where QuickSampler was faster than Snap (see the right-hand-side of Fig. 6). We note that in most of those these cases, those models are small (17,000 clauses or less). For medium to larger models, with 20,000 to 2.5 million clauses, Snap is nearly always orders of magnitude faster than QuickSampler. Fig. 6: RQ3 results: Sorted speedup (time(QuickSampler) / time(Snap)). The speedup>100 implies Snap terminates earlier than QuickSampler.

the world, for it occupies more seats in the UN General Assembly than any other continent. Yet the reality is that ours is the poorest and weakest continent in the world. And our weakness is pathetic. Unity will not end our weakness, but until we unite, we cannot even begin to end that weakness. So this is my plea to the new generation of African leaders and African peoples: work for unity with the firm conviction that without unity, there is no future for Africa. That is, of course, assuming that we still want to have a place under the sun. I reject the glorification of the nationstate [that] we inherited from colonialism, and the artificial nations we are trying to forge from that inheritance. We are all Africans trying very hard to be Ghanaians or Tanzanians. Fortunately for Africa, we have not been completely successful. The outside world hardly recognises our Ghanaianness or Tanzanian-ness. What the outside world recognises about us is our Africanness. Hitler was a German, Mussolini was an Italian, Franco was a Spaniard, Salazar was Portuguese, Stalin was a Russian or a Georgian. Nobody expected Churchill to be ashamed of Hitler. He was probably ashamed of Chamberlain. Nobody expected Charles de Gaulle to be ashamed of Hitler, he was probably ashamed of the complicity of Vichy. It is the Germans and Italians and Spaniards and Portuguese who feel uneasy about those dictators in their respective countries. Not so in Africa. Idi Amin was in Uganda but of Africa. Jean Bokassa was in Central Africa but of Africa. Some of the dictators are still alive in their respective countries, but they are all of Africa. They are all Africans, and all perceived by the outside world as Africans. When I travel outside Africa, the description of me as a former president of Tanzania is a fleeting affair. It does not stick. Apart from the ignorant who sometimes asked me whether Tanzania was in Johannesburg, even to those who knew better, what stuck in the minds of my hosts was the fact of my African-ness. So I had to answer questions about the atrocities of the Amins and Bokassas of Africa. Mrs [Indira] Ghandi [the former Indian prime minister] did not have to answer questions about the atrocities of the Marcoses of Asia. Nor does Fidel Castro have to answer questions about the atrocities of the Somozas of Latin America. But when I travel or meet foreigners, I have to answer questions about Somalia, Liberia, Rwanda, Burund

i and Zaire, as in the past I used to answer questions about Mozambique, Angola, Zimbabwe, Namibia or South Africa. And the way I was perceived is the way most of my fellow heads of state were perceived. And that is the way you [the people of Africa] are all being perceived. So accepting the fact that we are Africans, gives you a much more worthwhile challenge than the current desperate attempts to fossilise Africa into the wounds inflicted upon it by the vultures of imperialism. Do not be proud of your shame. Reject the return to the tribe, there is richness of culture out there which we must do everything we can to preserve and share. But it is utter madness to think that if these artificial, unviable states which we are trying to create are broken up into tribal components and we turn those into nation-states we might save ourselves. That kind of political and social atavism spells catastrophe for Africa. It would be the end of any kind of genuine development for Africa. It would fossilise Africa into a worse state than the one in which we are. The future The future of Africa, the modernisation of Africa that has a place in the 21st century, is linked with its decolonisation and detribalisation. Tribal atavism would be giving up any hope for Africa. And of all the sins that Africa can commit, the sin of despair would be the most unforgivable. Reject the nonsense of dividing the African peoples into Anglophones, Francophones, and Lusophones. This attempt to divide our peoples according to the language of their former colonial masters must be rejected with the firmness and utter contempt that it richly deserves. The natural owners of those wonderful languages are busy building a united Europe. But Europe is strong even without unity. Europe has less need of unity, and the strength that comes from unity, than Africa. A new generation of self-respecting Africans should spit in the face of anybody who suggests that our continent should remain divided and fossilised in the shame of colonialism, in order to satisfy the national pride of our former colonial masters. Africa must unite! That was the title of one of Kwame Nkrumah’s books. That call is more urgent today than ever before. Together, we, the peoples of Africa will be incomparably stronger internationally than we are now with our multiplicity of unviable states. The needs of our separate countries can be, and are being, ignored

pričajući priče. Princ Baufra, Snofruov unuk, ispriča priču o svom djedu Snofruu: Snofruu je jednom bilo jako dosadno. Zato je k sebi pozvao svećenika i čarobnjaka, Džadžaemanka, da ga zabavi. Svećenik mu je rekao neka sakupi prekrasne žene iz harema, te se zabavi s njima. Snofru zatim naredi da mu donesu dvadeset vesala od ebanovine, te da skupe "dvadeset žena prekrasnih tijela i grudiju i kose koje još nisu rodile". Dvadeset je djevica veslalo, a Snofru i njegov čarobnjak su bili na brodu koji je plovio jezerom i uživali. Nažalost, jednoj je ženi ispao ukras od zlata i tirkiza, u obliku ribe, te pao u vodu, što je rastužilo ženu, koja je prestala veslati. Snofru je vidio njezinu tugu te je naredio čarobnjaku da učini nešto. Čarobnjak upotrijebi sve svoje moći i rastvori jezero, te izvuče ukras. Cijeli je dan Snofru proveo kao blagdan te je darivao svog čarobnjaka. Nakon što je čuo Baufraovu priču, Kufu je prinio žrtve svom ocu i njegovom čarobnjaku. Dalje se tekst na papirusu nastavlja s pričanjem drugih priča. U priči

Fifty. The Index was founded in the year 1992 and began trading in 1994. It is owned and managed by the India Index Service and Products (IISL). The Nifty 50 is a broad market index that acts as an indicator of market movements. As the Nifty 50 includes the biggest Indian companies it captures 65% of the float-adjusted market capitalization of the NSE. It is therefore considered a true reflection of the Indian stock markets. What is Nifty and Sensex? Stock Market Basics (For Beginners) The Nifty 50 index is calculated using the Float-adjusted and Market Capitalization Method. This method reflects the total market value of all the 50 stocks in the index relative to the base period. The base period for the Nifty 50 is taken as November 3, 1995. The First step includes the calculation of the Mcap of all the companies. This represents the total value of all the shares of a company held by investors in the market. Market capitalization = (Shares Outstanding) x (Current Price) The Second step includes multiplying the Mcap with the Investable Weight Factor (IWF). The Investible weight is a factor used to determine the shares available for trading. only considers shares that are available for public trading. This excludes shares held by company promoters, government, shares given to employees, etc. Free-float Market Capitalization = (Market capitalization) x (Investable Weight Factor(IWF)) Third Step. Here, the Free Float Market Cap is then multiplied by the weight assigned to the individual stock. Therefore the calculation for an individual stock would look as follows Weighted Free Float Market Cap = (Market Cap) x (IWF) x (Weight) Fourth Step. We now divide the current market value with its base value from 1995 in order to arrive at the value of the Index. The Current Market Value is the sum total of the Weighted Free-float Market Cap of all the stocks. The Base Market Capital is taken from 1995 which stands at Rs. 2.06 trillion. Index Value = (Current Market Value/Base Market Capital) * 1000 1. Reliance Industries Ltd. Energy - Oil & Gas 14.00% 2. HDFC Bank Ltd. Banking 9.56% 3. Infosys Ltd. Information Technology 7.56% 4.

Repeat this every 15 minutes until herx has subsided. A person may find greater relief if they combine Burbur Detox with Pinella - repeat dosage for Pinella. Castor Oil Pack Castor oil packs are very effective at helping the liver and lymphatic system detox from strong herxheimer reactions much like an epsom salt bath. To create and use a castor oil pack, pour the castor oil over the absorbent side of the flannel, lie down and place the side of the flannel with the castor oil directly onto your skin above the liver, and then place the heating pad on top. Leave the castor oil pack on for about 30-45 minutes. Warning: Do not ingest castor oil. It is for external use only. Women who are menstruating should not use castor oil packs as it can cause heavy bleeding. Castor oil will stain so be sure to lie upon a protective barrier. Chlorella has the powerful detoxifying ability to bind to toxins and prevent them from being reabsorbed in the digestive tract. It's commonly used in conjunction with cilantro for removing heavy metals. Some people can't digest the cell membrane of chlorella, therefore finding a chlorella product with a "broken cell wall" would be best. Chlorella works best when taken on an empty stomach. Cholestryramine Cholestyramine is a prescription drug designed to bind to toxins extremely well in the body. In those with Lyme Disease, it has helped relieved brain fog and some neurological symptoms associated with the presence of recirculating toxins and endotoxins released from Lyme. Because the drug is so powerful and binds to nearly everything, a person can not take anything 1 hour before or 4-6 hours after taking the drug due to the possibility of inducing a nutrient deficiency. Fractionated pectin powder or modified citrus pectin are popular natural alternatives. Coffee enemas stimulate production of glutathione S-transferase (GST) in the liver. GST is a powerful enzyme that binds to, matabolizes, and removes toxic substances from the body. The constituents in the coffee are absorbed directly into the liver through the colon wall. Add 3 tablespoons of organic ground coffee to boiling water. Boil for 3 minutes, then reduce to a simmer for about 15 additional minutes covered. Strain if needed and let cool before administering.

the bathroom, and begin administering the coffee into the rectum via the enema. Hold the coffee for 5-15 minutes, and then evacuate the colon. Warning: Don't hold the coffee for any longer than 15 minutes as it then will begin to be absorbed into the body at greater concentrations than desired, or what is considered to be healthy. Also check with your doctor or treating physician first before performing a coffee enema to be sure that your body can tolerate it. Malabsorption of certain vitamins and minerals may occur with long term use of coffee enemas, specifically calcium and fat-soluble vitamins. Colon Hydrotherapy, also known as a colonics or colon cleansing, is a procedure in which a unique mixture of water, and sometimes herbs, is injected into the colon via the rectum to assist the removal of unwanted constituents. The colon is responsible for absorbing nutrients from food for the body and forming feces for evacuation. Over time, as one ages and depending on a person's lifestyle, a colon can become sluggish, and detoxification becomes impacted. Such consequences include stagnant fecal matter, wall-impacted mucus, toxins being reabsored into the body, and even parasite thriving. ConcenTrace ConcenTrace is a mineral supplement containing over 72 trace minerals naturally derived from the Great Salt Lake located in the state of Utah in the United States. Trace minerals are absolutely essential for the human body to perform optimally, especially the methylation cycle which is responsible for detoxification, inflammation, neurotransmitter regeneration, and the immune system to name a few. Greater exposure to toxins coupled with nutrient depleted foods in the modern day warrant mineral supplementation to detoxify properly. Cruciferous vegetables such as kale, collard greens and cabbage have the inate ability to increase the detox activity of cells in the liver. Steam kale for 2 minutes, or collard greens for 4 minutes, to keep them as close to raw as possible. Then add sea salt, black pepper, diced avocado, lemon, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. Dandelion is most famously known for increasing bile production in the liver. Bile is the means of transportation for toxins from the liver to the colon. Works well at detoxing the kidneys too.

(Series) COMMENTARY: Calling the shots — how Canadian teens can defy their anti-vaxxer parents Timothy Caulfield, University of Alberta Special to Global News An Australian mother is speaking out and warning others of the risks of avoiding vaccinations. A few months ago in the United States, Ohio teenager Ethan Lindenberger made headlines by going against his parent’s anti-vaccination views. He got immunized. At a time of rising vaccine hesitancy, growing concern about measles outbreaks and increasingly aggressive rhetoric by the “anti-vaxx” movement, public health advocates around the world hailed this small act of teenage rebellion. But why was it viewed as such an unusual act? At the time of his decision, Ethan was 18 years old. In many countries around the world — including Canada — he would clearly be viewed as a legally competent adult, capable of making his own health-care decisions. READ MORE: U.S. teens are defying parents to get vaccines. Here are the rules in Canada A teen’s consent is enough In Canada, at least for most procedures, the age of consent is likely much younger than 18. (The law in Québec — which puts the age of consent at 14 — differs from the other provinces.) If an adolescent is capable of understanding the nature of the treatment and the relevant risks and benefits he or she will be considered a mature minor. This must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. A teenager could be deemed competent for a specific health-care decision at age

It allows patients with life-threatening conditions to try “eligible investigational drugs”, which include those that have successfully cleared a Phase I trial. Dr. Sunil Aggarwal, a palliative care physician and co-director at AIMS Institute, filed a petition in November asking for access to psilocybin under the Right To Try Act in treating two patients suffering from terminal illnesses. However, the DEA denied the request, saying that psilocybin can only be given to researchers. “The DEA simply said they’re not going to [grant] access for therapeutic use, which conflicts with the state and federal RTT laws,” Kathryn Tucker, special counsel with Emerge Law Group and the lead attorney for Dr. Aggarwal says. Referring to the federal agency’s order, she adds, “if you want to obtain it, you must become a researcher. A researcher is very different from a clinician who is providing therapeutic services… Despite the legislators’ intent that terminally ill patients can make informed decisions with their health care providers about eligible investigational drugs, the reality is not so straightforward.” D.C.

With at least five progressive bills in discussion, State Senator Tiara Mack (D) told Truffle, “The conversation has started.” Mack introduced bill S.604 aiming to

replace criminal penalties for simple possession with a civil violation of $100. In a recent state Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Mack told the panel, “Today as overdose rates skyrocket all over the U.S., people are in need of drug treatment. They might avoid this treatment because of the criminalization associated with their drug use but when we decriminalize, we find that people are more likely to come out of the shadows and seek help.” A competing bill was introduced in the state senate in February, aiming at defelonizing simple possession. The bill would reclassify possession of drugs as a misdemeanour. NYC Mayoral Candidates Talk Decriminalization, New Jersey Governor says ‘Open-Minded’ to Decrim Discussion In a recent webinar for New York City’s Mayoral forum, Andrew Yang shared that he is open to legalizing psilocybin. However, he didn’t quite take a strong stand on blanket decriminalization of all controlled substances. The forum was organized by VOCAL-NY on March 17 to discuss drug policies, homelessness and the opioid overdose crisis in the city. Dianne Morales (D) shared her vision of supporting those who have been impacted by the War on Drugs, over-policing, and the criminalization of marginalized communities. Eric Adams (D), also supported the full legalization of marijuana but said no to supporting the decriminalization of all drugs. Meanwhile, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy stated during a press briefing that he is “open-minded” to hearing arguments for further decriminalizing all drugs in the state.

Divers then found a 1-inch, adult zebra mussel in Hand Lake. The DNR is conducting further analyses to better determine the distribution of zebra mussels in the lake. DNR divers conducted a search of Upper Cormorant Lake and found seven adult zebra mussels in four locations. Nelson Lake, Middle Cormorant Lake and an unnamed wetland connected to and downstream of Upper Cormorant Lake will also be listed for zebra mussels. The wetland flows into Big Cormorant Lake, where zebra mussels were confirmed in July of 2015. Whether or not a lake is listed as infested, Minnesota law requires boaters and anglers to: Clean watercraft and trailers of aquatic plants and prohibited invasive species. Drain all water by removing drain plugs and keeping them out during transport. Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash. Some invasive species are small and difficult to see at the water access. To remove or kill them, take one or more of the following precautions before moving to another waterbody: Spray with high-pressure water. Rinse with very hot water (120 degrees for at least two minutes or 140 degrees for at least 10 seconds). Dry for at least five days. Zebra mussels can compete with native species for food and habitat, cut the feet of swimmers, reduce the performance of boat motors, and cause expensive damage to water intake pipes.

The value of biodiversity (the variety of life and its processes) Minnesota’s biodiversity has evolved over millennia into complex ecosystems. A myriad of species interact with each other and environmental factors such as soils, topography, hydrology and climate within

these ecosystems. Preserving biodiversity has benefits (ecosystem services) such as: Maintaining healthy, stable plant and animal populations Protecting genetic diversity Protecting water and soil resources Filtering pollution and nutrient recycling Contributing to climate stability and carbon storage Recovering from catastrophic events Providing sources for food, medicine and other products Research, education and monitoring Recreation, tourism and inspiration In areas where biodiversity is threatened, losing species can affect the ecosystem’s ability to function properly and provide these services. Maintaining biodiversity reduces voids and the entire ecosystem maintains a higher degree of resilience. Conservation planning for natural areas focuses on areas of high biodiversity as well as habitats for rare species. Resilience as a strategy Resilience is the capacity of an ecosystem to cope with disturbance. Resilience is critical to reducing climate change and fragmentation from land development. As climate change affects ecosystems they will face increasing vulnerability. An effective strategy at easing these negative impacts is to build resilience into native communities by: Creating large protected areas and corridors to provide pathways for species to migrate to more suitable habitats Preserving a greater variety of habitats for desirable species The SNA program is using both strategies for resilience to maintain Minnesota’s biodiversity. Biodiversity significance rankings Biodiversity significance is a ranking based on the size and condition of native plant communities and how they fit in an ecological landscape. It also includes the presence or absence of rare species populations. The rankings are ‘outstanding’, ‘high’, ‘moderate’ and ‘below’. Ecologists with the Minnesota Biological Survey determine this status. This ranking is used to help prioritize Natural Area protection efforts. Minnesota’s Ecological Classification System (ECS) Ecological landscape classifications are used to identify, describe, and map progressively smaller areas of land with increasingly uniform ecological features. Minnesota’s Ecological Classification System (ECS) uses biotic and environmental factors, including climate, geology, topography, soils, hydrology and vegetation. The largest units of the ECS are provinces and are defined primarily by climate. Minnesota has four provinces. Provinces are divided into 10 sections based on glacial deposits, topography and plant distributions. The 26 subsections of the ECS are further refined by local vegetation, especially trees, among other factors. Individual Scientific and Natural Areas note the subsection in which they are

In 1929 he was promoted to be staff captain and served for three years in the Directorate of Mechanization at the War Office. During the next three years he served his apprenticeship with Messrs.

J. I. Thornycroft, Messrs. Petters, and other firms, and also continued his technical studies. Serving in the Royal Engineers he was stationed in Singapore in 1935 on his appointment as garrison engineer for the Western Defences of Malaya, a position which involved the supervision of various contracts for new works including the Changi barracks - which became the notorious Japanese prison camp. Photos taken at the time are now the property of Changi Museum, and at the time of donation were the only ones seen of the initial construction including water buffalo clearing the site. After recall to the UK in 1937 due to the war threat, he moved his wife Leslie and daughter Anne to 12 Clockhouse Mead, Oxshott, Surrey. Anne attended Bevendeen School in Steels Lane. He went on holiday to Germany with Leslie during which he visited German relatives and spied on German military installations. It is understood that this spying was on his own initiative and proved to be of great help to the Allied cause. On the setting up of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers he transferred to this unit and was eventually posted to Greece with a reduction in rank to captain for a special mission. This is understood, but not proven, to be the demolition of bridges and other installations to delay the advance of the German forces during the Allied evacuation. Allied soldiers hired a Greek ship, loaded with hay, to evacuate to Crete. As they were trying to repair the engine, around 10:00 a.m. on April 29, 1941, two German aircrafts arrived and bombed the ship. Most soldiers jumped in the sea. Major Doelberg, along with six other soldiers, died and was buried by the villagers of Proastion (in southern Peloponnese) on the Kaminia (also called Delfinia) beach. The ship was completely burned and it sank. About a year later, it was decided by the local people that the soldiers should be properly buried together in a cemetery. The local priest held a service, the bodies were exhumed and the whole village followed in procession from the beach to the cemetery, where they were all buried in a common grave. In the autumn of 1944 a British warship arrived at Kalamitsi beach, and a military chaplain, followed by a Cypriot interpreter, went to the village, a service was held, the bones were exhumed again and were carried to the ship. Again a silent procession by the whole village followed

't until the seventeenth century, when the local citizenry, who had jocularly been called _mangiabroccoli_ , "broccoli eaters," became known the eighteenth century, and even then, pasta was not prepared as we know it today: it was seasoned with salt and maybe pepper, possibly with a dusting of dry cheese, but nothing more; old etchings and woodcuts show people eating it with their hands. The widespread popularity of tomato sauce, and then variations on the theme, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century changed all that. The serving of pasta with sauce, in fact, is said to have greatly increased the popularity in Italy of what had been a marginal eating instrument: the fork. Pasta types can be characterized several ways, but one of the most basic is the distinction between _pasta all'uovo_ ("pasta with eggs," typically made from soft summer wheat) and _pasta di semola di grano duro_ (pasta made from the bran of durum wheat). Another is that between _pasta secca_ —also called _pasta asciutta_ ( _secca_ means "dry," _asciutta_ "dried"), which is not the same as _pastasciutta_ (see page 76)—and _pasta fresca_ , or "freshly made pasta," which may be made with either eggs or water, and occasionally both. For present purposes, this is the best distinction. The recipes in this chapter all use store-bought (dried) pasta. Some of those in the following chapter may be made with either store-bought or homemade pasta, while some require domestic manufacture. Dried pasta was a godsend to the Italians. Like the considerably less-attractive gallette, or sailor's biscuits (hardtack), taken on shipboard in place of ordinary bread, dried pasta lasted for a year or more, and unlike its fresh counterpart (and unlike raw flour), it wasn't subject to mold or infestation by parasites. That doesn't mean that it was always a sterile product. In _The Food of Italy_ , published in 1971, Waverley Root writes of his initial distaste for pasta in 1929, the first time he saw it drying over clotheslines in the "insalubrious courtyards" of Naples: "Dirt swirled though the air, flies settled to rest on the exposed pasta,

't until the seventeenth century, when the local citizenry, who had jocularly been called _mangiabroccoli_ , "broccoli eaters," became known the eighteenth century, and even then, pasta was not prepared as we know it today: it was seasoned with salt and maybe pepper, possibly with a dusting of dry cheese, but nothing more; old etchings and woodcuts show people eating it with their hands. The widespread popularity of tomato sauce, and then variations on the theme, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century changed all that. The serving of pasta with sauce, in fact, is said to have greatly increased the popularity in Italy of what had been a marginal eating instrument: the fork. Pasta types can be characterized several ways, but one of the most basic is the distinction between _pasta all'uovo_ ("pasta with eggs," typically made from soft summer wheat) and _pasta di semola di grano duro_ (pasta made from the bran of durum wheat). Another is that between _pasta secca_ —also called _pasta asciutta_ ( _secca_ means "dry," _asciutta_ "dried"), which is not the same as _pastasciutta_ (see page 76)—and _pasta fresca_ , or "freshly made pasta," which may be made with either eggs or water, and occasionally both. For present purposes, this is the best distinction. The recipes in this chapter all use store-bought (dried) pasta. Some of those in the following chapter may be made with either store-bought or homemade pasta, while some require domestic manufacture. Dried pasta was a godsend to the Italians. Like the considerably less-attractive gallette, or sailor's biscuits (hardtack), taken on shipboard in place of ordinary bread, dried pasta lasted for a year or more, and unlike its fresh counterpart (and unlike raw flour), it wasn't subject to mold or infestation by parasites. That doesn't mean that it was always a sterile product. In _The Food of Italy_ , published in 1971, Waverley Root writes of his initial distaste for pasta in 1929, the first time he saw it drying over clotheslines in the "insalubrious courtyards" of Naples: "Dirt swirled though the air, flies settled to rest on the exposed pasta,

pigeons bombed it from overhead, children invented games to play with it, and the large dog population, finding itself short of lampposts, put up with what it could find. . . ." But, he continued, "have no fear today: macaroni and spaghetti are now made indoors in spick-and-span automated factories." Many of the best pasta brands available internationally today, mostly made with eggs, come from Emilia-Romagna, including Barilla, Fini, and Dallari. Other capitals of commercial pasta production, with eggs and otherwise, include Fara San Martino in Abruzzo, home of the ubiquitous De Cecco as well as Delverde and Cocco; Pianella, also in Abruzzo, where Rustichella d'Abruzzo is based; Campofilone in the Marche, home of Spinosi, La Campofilone, and Antica Pasta, among others; and Imperia, in Liguria, headquarters of Agnesi. PASTASCIUTTA AND PASTA ASCIUTTA In organizing the recipes in this book, I wanted to group the pasta dishes into two categories: those that use store-bought dry pasta, which is almost always made only from durum-wheat flour and water, and those that require homemade fresh pasta, mostly made from just flour and eggs, or its store-bought equivalent. I had no problem labeling the latter _pasta fresca_ ; even if you didn't make it yourself, chances are good that it would be soft in texture and quite possibly stored in the grocery-store cooler. The dry stuff was more difficult. _Asciugare_ and _seccare_ both mean "to dry," and thus both _pasta asciutta_ and _pasta secca_ mean dried pasta. I was originally going to use the former term as a chapter heading, but it is too close to the term _pastasciutta_ , which does not mean quite the same thing. At least I didn't think so. I'd heard _pastasciutta_ used in Italy to describe pasta with or suitable for a sauce, as opposed to pasta in soup, but it was not applied to all pasta of that sort. What, I wondered, was the story? My old friend Darrell Corti, who is of Genoese extraction and who runs an

, and game design. Playing Nomic for the First Time When I first played Nomic, I played it in a Slack group over the course of a month, and what started as a simple set of 12 rules (modified to fit asychronous online play, rather than short, in-person games) grew into more than 80 rules, including rules that referenced an additional set of 75 random outcomes for when certain events occurred. We built up a whole mythology and had a lot of ups and downs, finding places where the rules didn't work and fixing them as we went. Even when the rules were badly broken or exploitable, it was still very fun. Of course, you can imagine that that sort of complexity became hard to keep track of. It became a hassle to maintain an up-to-date record of whose turn it was, how many points everyone had, and even what the current set of rules was. Since we were playing on Slack, I decided to use an existing Slackbot to keep track of the score. That helped a lot, but it wasn't very flexible, and we still had to manually keep track of a lot of other things. So, I decided to roll up my sleeves and write my own simple Slackbot to handle some of the bookkeeping. It supported some basic functionality like commands for !give @person 5 points and !most points to track points, !random player to randomly select players, and !end turn to keep track of whose turn it was. This worked great, but it still had some irritating limitations. I had to manually update the code and restart the bots every time the rules changed, and it was possible for the code and the rules to drift out of sync. At some point, I had the idea to provide a mechanism for the players to tell the bot to update itself for some of the rudimentary random outcomes. This made maintaining the bot much less work, but it was still very inflexible. Eventually the game ended, a winner was crowned, and I moved on with my life. Time passed, and I was working on various projects (my games 30 Second Life, Unshuffle, and Triptoy), but from time to time, my mind would wander back to Nomic, and the Slack bot I had made to keep things running smoothly. I really wished the system was more powerful, and could handle things like collecting and tallying votes, determining the winning proposals, and updating its own source code accordingly. Nomsu was also inspired

I really wished the system was more powerful, and could handle things like collecting and tallying votes, determining the winning proposals, and updating its own source code accordingly. Nomsu was also inspired

by Moonscript, which is a great example of an elegant language with a simple implementation using LPEG that cross-compiles to Lua. I particularly liked the user-friendly natural syntax of my original Slack bot commands like !give @person 2 points, and like many programmers, I also have strong opinions about programming languages. So, I decided to make my own language for playing Nomic. Its main design goals were to be easy to read and good at accepting modifications to its own code while running. And thus, Nomsu was born.

measures are important indicators toward fully reopening our businesses and getting more people back to work. Right now, we are also ready to welcome back students and are excited to announce the relaunch of the Disney College Program this June. We are inviting participants whose program ended early or was suspended in 2020 to reapply and join us. Today, May 3, these participants will receive exclusive communication via email about this exciting opportunity. The Disney College Program has always been a source of optimism and pride for our company with participants who each bring new ideas, talents, and perspectives to the table. While that won’t change, we are evolving our Disney Programs to reflect the new world around us. Applying to the Disney College Program will be even easier with a simplified application process, a concierge team of recruiters you can engage with on social media, and year-long arrival dates. We have temporarily modified some of our eligibility requirements so that many of you can still apply, even if you’ve already graduated. We’re also developing new ways for participants to shape their future careers, exploring a variety of roles and connecting with Disney professionals as they make magic. We have also been thinking of other college and university students who may be eagerly awaiting their own Disney experience. Right now, we’re focused on bringing the Disney College Program back to Walt Disney World Resort and will have more to share about Disney International Programs, Disney Culinary Program, and those at Disneyland® Resort later. The good news is that there is much to come in the future of the program, and we can’t wait to share more information with you when that time comes. Keep an eye out here on the blog, follow us on social media, or opt-in for email updates to stay in the know. We want you to know that we’re relaunching the Program in a thoughtful and responsible way, with the safety of our participants and our working cast always at the forefront of our planning, particularly as we consider a new approach to housing at the new, state-of-the-art Flamingo Crossings Village complex. Those who return to a program this summer will be the first participants to call this beautiful new community home. Similar to what we’ve done to help reduce risk in our theme parks and resorts, we are also putting in place a combination of measures for our participants. Participants will receive pre-arrival communication regarding our enhanced safety measures, including updates that promote physical distancing

�new-reader” vocabulary words. In the decades since, Dr. Seuss has become the definitive children’s literacy author of all time (over 600,000,000 books sold) and Ted’s Cat continues to “step out,” enjoying his rightful legacy as the visual icon of our literary past, present and future. Green Eggs and Ham was born out of a fifty-dollar wager between Dr. Seuss and his publisher, Bennett Cerf, who bet he couldn’t write an articulate, entertaining book using only fifty different words. The result was a 62-page volume composed of 49 monosyllabic words and a fiftieth three-syllable word “anywhere.” When Cerf heard Ted’s first reading of the book, he seemed dazed, shaking his head over the clear triumph of Green Eggs and Ham, which had begun as their private joke. Although he conceded the fifty-dollar bet, Ted cheerily “complained” throughout his life that Cerf never paid up. A small price for what ultimately became a national treasure.

Senator Elizabeth Warren was the first to put forward a detailed plan for how to create such a program, followed by a number of her Democratic contenders. It may have sounded like a radical, brand new idea at the time. But the truth is that the United States once had a universal child care system that was open to all and incredibly affordable. And researchers are now finding that it was a huge benefit for the children who attended. During World War II, as men left to fight the war abroad, the ranks of childless women available to work in factories couldn’t keep up with the need. With no one to watch mothers’ children, the country was treated to stories of kids chained to trailer homes, locked in cars and left in movie theaters while their mothers were at work. In response, the government used money from the Lanham Act, which funded wartime infrastructure projects, to build, staff and run a system of child care centers across the country. Children weren’t just looked after. The centers had huge, positive benefits for those who attended. A group of economists is currently determining just what kind of impact it had on the children who were served, identifying kids who were cared for in Lanham Act centers in the 1940s and seeing what happened to them by the year 2000. What they have uncovered in very preliminary findings is enormous: for every three years they spent enrolled, boys who received care at these centers earned 6 percent more each year by age 60—boys appear to have benefitted more than girls—compared to children in places that didn’t have any centers.

The researchers also found that these men were 6 percent more likely to have graduated from college if they

went to a center for at least three years as children. “Lanham pre-schools had a lasting impact on the children exposed to them,” the economists conclude. Their work is still ongoing, but it lines up with what others have found when they’ve examined the program. The more states spent on Lanham Act centers, the better children fared, an economist found: for each $100 increase, according to his research, children’s annual earnings later in life rose 1.8 percentage points, while their high school dropout rates fell by 1.8 points, college graduation rates rose 1.9 points, and the share who ended up employed as adults went up 0.7 points. In other words, children who had the chance to attend one of the country’s universal, affordable day care centers while they existed ended up way ahead of the children who missed out. It’s not just kids who benefit from affordable, high-quality child care, of course. The mothers who used Lanham Act centers loved them. In California, for example, parents assessed the centers almost entirely in glowing terms. It’s not too hard to see why they were so beloved. The costs were extremely low: women who were earning $30 a week only had to pay about 50 cents a day to put their children in a center—or less than $10 in today’s dollars—and they operated all day, year round. The quality was high, given that the program hired out-of-work teachers and trained everyone in the fundamentals of early childhood education. The target child-to-teacher ratio was just 10 to 1. Mothers flocked to the program. More than 100,000 children were being cared for at any given time during the war years. And mothers benefitted alongside their children. For each dollar increase in spending on Lanham Act centers, women’s employment went up 0.1 percentage points, while the time they spent working each week rose by 0.04 hours. Advocates for women’s rights and children’s development wanted the program to last forever. But as soon as the war ramped down, President Truman dismantled it. In the 1970s, we nearly did it again, and this time permanently, when Congress passed legislation to create a nationwide system of affordable child care centers. But then President Richard Nixon, who had at first expressed support for the idea, did an about face

With the increase of the interest on clouds, there has been an analogous increase in cloud simulation frameworks. Cloud simulation frameworks offer a controllable environment for experimentation with various workloads and scenarios, while they provide several metrics such as server utilization and power consumption

. For providing these metrics, cloud simulators propose mathematical models that estimate the behavior of the underlying hardware infrastructure. This paper focuses on the power consumption modeling of the main compute elements of heterogeneous HPC servers, i.e. CPU servers and pairs of CPU-accelerators. The modeling approaches of existing cloud simulators are examined and extended, while new models are proposed for estimating the power consumption of accelerators. CloudLightning Simulation and Evaluation Roadmap C. K. Filelis-Papadopoulos (DUTH), G. A. Gravvanis (DUTH), J. P. Morrison (UCC) The CloudLightning (CL) system, designed in the frame of the CloudLightning project, is a service-oriented architecture for the emerging large scale heterogeneous cloud. It facilitates a clear distinction between service-lifecyle management and resource-lifecycle management. This separation of concerns is used to make resource management issues tractable at scale and to enable functionality that is currently not naturally covered by the cloud paradigm. In particular, the CL project seeks to maximize computational efficiency of the cloud in a number of specific ways; by exploiting prebuilt HPC environments, by dynamically building HPC instances, by improving server utilization, by reducing power consumption and by improving service delivery. Given the scale and complexity of this project, its utility can presently only be measured through simulation. This paper outlines the parameters, constraints and limitation being considered as part of the design and construction of that simulation environment. Elastic Cloud Services Compliance with Gustafson’s and Amdahl’s Laws S. Ristov, R. Prodan, D. Petcu (IeAT) The speedup that can be achieved with parallel and distributed architectures is limited at least by two laws: the Amdahl’s and Gustafson’s laws. The former limits the speedup to a constant value when a fixed size problem is executed on a multiprocessor, while the latter limits the speedup up to its linear value for the fixed time problems, which means that it is limited by the number of used processors. However, a superlinear speedup can be achieved (speedup greater than the number of used processors) due to insufficient memory, while, parallel and, especially distributed systems can even slowdown the execution due to the communication overhead, when compared to the sequential one. Since the cloud performance is uncertain and it can be influenced by available memory and networks, in

By introducing the variable , Equation (3) can be written as where is the Mach number of the main flow at the left section of the control volume, is the specific heat ratio, and is gas constant of the combustion gas. Derivatives of other parameters such as and can be derived from Equations (7), (8), and (9). The variable in Equations (7), (8), and (9) depends on the geometry of the grain. In most SRMs, the angle between the generating line of the grain and the axis is small, even under the condition of the erosive burning. This makes the value of to be relatively small compared to one. The values of in References [6, 7] are about 0.4% and 0.8%, for instance. Thus, is assumed to be zero, and the expression is considered as 1 in this paper. During motor operation, the velocity at the throat of the nozzle would be the sound velocity, and at a specific section in the nozzle, the flux function equals the area ratio and can be expressed as where and represent the area of the specific section and throat, respectively. With the expansion loss neglected, the aft end of the chamber can be seen as the inlet of the nozzle. In such situation, Equation (10) can be used to compute the Mach number at the aft end of the chamber. Equation (10) yields two solutions for . Since we focus on the flow in the combustion chamber, only the subsonic value is taken. With the Mach number computed, the temperature at the aft end of the combustion chamber can be obtained from the relation where the combustion temperature is used as the total temperature of the combustion gas. The density or pressure at the aft-end section is still need to be ascertained to obtain all the flow parameters at the aft-end section. To extend the 1D approach to SRMs with two channels, an estimation of mass flux at aft-end section is given at each time step to determine the density () and then pressure () at the aft-end section. The secant method can be used to solve Equation (12) to get a good estimation of and then the flow state of the whole combustion chamber. Now that the flow parameters have been computed for a time step, we can compute the total burning rate and the geometry of the grain for next time step

Now that the flow parameters have been computed for a time step, we can compute the total burning rate and the geometry of the grain for next time step

using a proper burning rate model. Then, the iteration goes to the next time step, until the chamber pressure drops below the ambient pressure. For a two-channel combustion chamber with a free-standing noninhibitor grain (which means all the surfaces of the grain burn during the SRM operation), a new situation emerges. In a combustion chamber of this kind, the flow parameters and the erosive conditions are different between the inner and outer channels. The exchange of gas between the two channels can often appear. Thus, for two-channel combustion chambers, the traditional 1D assumption cannot hold anymore. We assume that the flow variables at the aft ends of the two channels are identical. The validity of this assumption can be proved by a steady two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) procedure. Figure 2 shows the contour of axial velocity near the aft end of the combustion chamber of an SRM. The parameters used are from the SRM which will be described in Section 3. The Mukunda-Paul expression is used to obtain the burning rate of the grain. The values of the average velocities of the inner channel and outer channel at the aft-end section are 160 m/s and 155 m/s, respectively. The average pressures in the both channels are all 10.6 MPa. Figure 2: Axial velocity contour near the aft-end section of the grain. The secant method is used to solve Equation (15), and then the true value of the total mass flow rate at aft-end section of the chamber is obtained. This yields the flow field variables of the whole combustion chamber at the current time step. The burning rate and geometry of the grain are updated according to the flow field at the current time step, and the iteration goes on to the next time step until the pressure drops below the ambient pressure. In this paper, two different erosive burning rate models are used. They are the modified L-R expression and Mukunda expression. For comparison, an iterative procedure using the de Saint Robert law, i.e., , is also carried out in this paper. The internal ballistics results obtained by the different computations are compared. As indicated in Reference , in a regular solid rocket motor, the gas velocity will decrease as the burning surface regresses and the port area becomes larger, which leads to a decrease in erosive burning. Yet, the L-R expression cannot reveal the decrease of

folding leading to aggregation of proteins in the body. Biotechnology companies trying to produce pure proteins run into similar problems; incorrectly folded proteins can be unstable and even toxic. Research by Professor Chris Dobson in the area of structural modification of proteins led to the spin-out of Zyentia in 2002. The company initially focused on the development of modified human calcitonin, a hormone that regulates bone density, used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Zyentia also developed software to predict elements in proteins that could lead to aggregation, and this was successfully sold to Lonza in 2006, who have since further developed and patented the approach.

folding leading to aggregation of proteins in the body. Biotechnology companies trying to produce pure proteins run into similar problems; incorrectly folded proteins can be unstable and even toxic. Research by Professor Chris Dobson in the area of structural modification of proteins led to the spin-out of Zyentia in 2002. The company initially focused on the development of modified human calcitonin, a hormone that regulates bone density, used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Zyentia also developed software to predict elements in proteins that could lead to aggregation, and this was successfully sold to Lonza in 2006, who have since further developed and patented the approach.

Focus: Innovative chemical information management and decision-support software for researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other chemical research industries. In early 1970s, as computers were beginning to make an impact in scientific research, Graham Richards saw the potential for software to revolutionise areas such as drug discovery. His subsequent work on computer-based molecular modelling led to the spin-out of Oxford Molecular Group, which created innovative chemical information management and decision-support software for researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrochemical and related chemical research industries. The company was floated successfully on the stock market in 1994 and became part of Pharmacopeia Inc.'s software subsidiary, Accelrys, in 2001. Accelrys is now a leader in cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and simulation software for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, based in part on the Oxford technology it acquired. MediSense Year setup: 1984; acquired by Abbott Laboratories in 1996 Research: Professor Allen Hill Focus: Development of a highly accurate electrochemical sensor to monitor blood glucose levels, which became a commercial home-use monitoring device for diabetics. Research by Professor Allen Hill’s group into the electrochemistry of human enzymes led to the spin-out of MediSense and the development of a highly accurate sensor capable of monitoring blood glucose levels. The sensor detected levels of glucose oxidase, the enzyme responsible for glucose metabolism, and results could be obtained from a small drop of blood with no pre-treatment necessary, making it extremely suitable for a home-use monitoring device for diabetics. A commercial product was launched in 1989 and its success led to the sale of MediSense to Abbott in 1996 for £876m. Abbott have since further developed a range of meters for diabetics based on the original MediSense design. Whereas in the early eighties, there were essentially no electrochemical glucose sensors, now almost all the devices are electrochemical.

State Rep. John Bennett (R-Sallisaw); State Senator Mark Allen (R-Spiro); and State Rep. Ed Cannaday (D-Porum). Allen told the chamber members why he did not vote for a proposed $1.50 fee per package of cigarettes, which was approved to raise money for state coffers. Allen said other legislators do not take the state’s border counties into consideration, and residents in border counties will travel and take their money outside the state, such as to Fort Smith, to buy cheaper cigarettes. And while doing so they will spend more money on other merchandise and services, such as eating at Fort Smith restaurants. On a positive note, Bennett noted that money was found for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), which will allow the OHP to hold a new recruit academy and lifted the 100-mile restriction for troopers, enacted earlier due to lack of funding. He noted he was able to get a bill killed to sell the Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA), which sells power to Sallisaw, and, in exchange, the GRDA is providing for better communication for rural law enforcement. Cannaday noted that he is term limited, and next year will be his12th and last year in the State House. He complained that the state budget was not vetted by the committees that are supposed to work on the budget for various agencies. Cannaday serves on the Education Appropriations Committee and complained that his committee did not get to see the education budget. Cannaday said low teacher pay is responsible for the teacher shortage. He added that local school boards do not have enough money coming in to give teachers pay raises. Bennett explained that tax increases have to be approved by a three-quarters vote of both the State House and Senate, which won’t happen. The three legislators said there isn’t much they can do about Social Security, since it is a federal program. Bennett said he supported a bill that allows residents to go outside the state to buy health insurance. He said the Affordable Care Act has resulted in only one health insurance company in the state. Allowing buyers to go outside the state to buy insurance could make it more affordable. Bennett said legislators will continue to work on balancing the state budget, and have identified a lot of waste they hope to curtail.

state in the future, he said. The Cherokee Nation is planning a grand opening for Sequoyah’s Cabin, the historic property northeast of Sallisaw the tribe purchased from the state last year. The grand opening will be held from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. Thursday. The historic site has undergone a complete renovation, a spokesman said, including a renovated gift shop with new walls around both the gift shop and cabin, which is enclosed for protection. A new collection of historic items and photos has been added and a new children’s area is under construction. The grounds are also undergoing more maintenance. The spokesman said the site has remained open while renovations were underway, and tours are available. According to the website, Sequoyah’s Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated as a National Literary Landmark in 2006. Sequoyah, also known as George Guess or George Gist, was born in Tennessee around 1778. He was among the “Old Settlers” of Cherokee Nation, who migrated to present-day Oklahoma and western Arkansas around 1818, prior to the Trail of Tears. Though lame in one leg, Sequoyah became known as a skilled blacksmith and silversmith as well as an artist. Sequoyah left his eastern home in 1818 to operate a salt production and blacksmith works near present-day Russellville, Ark. In 1828, Sequoyah joined a delegation sent to Washington by the Arkansas Cherokees to make a treaty to exchange their lands for lands in Indian Territory. Following this trip, Sequoyah traded his land and salt works for land located on Big Skin Bayou Creek in Indian Territory. Sequoyah's Cabin is located on Oklahoma 101, seven miles east of U.S. Highway 59 in Sallisaw. The site is open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The phone number is (918) 775-2413​. Cherokee Nation took ownership from the Oklahoma Historical Society in November 2016 when the Oklahoma Historical Society was no longer able to operate and maintain the site due to budget cuts. one of the largest sod farms in the region. Near the Oklahoma-Arkansas border is the small town of Spiro, population of 2,167. Twenty two years ago, even Jan Sebo could not have imagined that it would become home

Teddy Bear, our Week #3 Winner! Just Jennifer The Beekeeper’s Lament by Hannah Nordhaus (Harper Perennial, July 2011) The honeybee has always been an integral part of the American agriculture industry. Pollination bees provide is crucial to the survival of most crops and the production of fruits and vegetables, but to who much thought isn’t often given. Hannah Nordhaus tells the story of John Miller, a commercial beekeeper whose passion is raising bees and transporting them and their hives from the mid-west to the west coast of the United States. He does so with great understanding of the part these bees play in the delicate balance, but also with an understanding for the needs of the bees if they are to thrive and be productive. Hannah Nordhaus tells the

documents and make up crimes to achieve their objectives.’ the government’s misconduct raises an interesting corollary question: How will Judge Emmet Sullivan react to these devastating revelations? Sullivan has been hunkered down in his chambers for the last month contemplating (or drafting) his ruling on attorney Sidney Powell’s pending motion in the criminal case against her client, Michael Flynn. Flynn had pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI before Powell took over as his defense counsel. Flynn’s sentencing was postponed to allow Powell to get up to speed in the case. Soon after, Powell filed a motion to compel federal prosecutors to turn over Brady material and other evidence that had been withheld from Flynn’s previous attorneys. In briefing the motion to compel, in addition to arguing that the government improperly withheld evidence from Flynn, Powell also claimed that “[t]he FBI had no factual or legal basis for a criminal investigation, nor did they have a valid basis for a counter-intelligence investigation against an American citizen, and they all knew it. The evidence the defense requests will eviscerate any factual basis for the plea and reveal conduct so outrageous—if there is not enough already—to mandate dismissal of this prosecution for egregious government misconduct.” Before Judge Sullivan had a chance to rule on Powell’s motion, though, federal prosecutors found themselves forced to inform the long-time federal judge “that for nearly three years, they had wrongly identified the authors of the handwritten notes taken by the FBI agents during their January 24, 2017, interview of then-National Security Advisor Flynn. Prosecutors had told defense counsel (and the court) that the notes written by Peter Strozk had been compiled by FBI Agent Joe Pietka, and those taken by Pietka had been written by Strzok.” Now that the report is out, the question is how it will affect Flynn’s case. While the IG report focused mainly on the DOJ and FBI’s conduct related to the four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications used to obtain an order to surveil Page, Horowitz’s investigation and findings raise two issues of import in the case against Flynn.

Federal Judge Backs People-Powered We Build The Wall, Inc. – Shreds Federal Lawyers For IBCW We Build the Wall, Inc., a nonprofit organization founded by triple amputee veteran Brian Kolfage, is gearing up to build a second portion of wall along the U.S. Mexico border on private land in Mission, International Boundary and Water Commission is, again, relentlessly doing everything to sabotage the project. The IBCW was created by the U.S. and Mexico in 1889 to administer the rules for demarcating the location of the border between the two countries, which sits on banks of the meandering Rio Grande River. The U.S. Section of the international body is administered by the State Department and the Mexican section is overseen by the Secretariat of Foreign Relations. The Department of Justice on Dec. 5 filed a lawsuit on behalf of IBCW against Fisher Industries, the construction company We Build The Wall is contracting to assemble the wall, demanding the group to discontinue building a physical barrier on the banks of the Rio Grande. The border wall, IBCW claims, would violate the United States’ 1970 international water treaty with Mexico by causing flooding that would alter the course of the international waterway and destruct the shoreline. In response, U.S. District Judge Randy Crane issued a restraining or mandating We Build the Wall suspend construction and ordered the government to disclose the results of a hydrology study that would substantiate its unfounded charges. During a hearing at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in McAllen, U.S. Attorney E. Paxton Warner claimed the Federal Emergency Management Agency has already conducted a mapping study that confirms the construction of a border wall would cause catastrophic environmental damage on the river banks by utilizing expensive state of the art Light Detection and Ranging equipment, also known as LIDAR. Yet, FEMA claimed has declined to provide its study to IBCW, Warner admitted. Judge Crane shot back, . “If you

It’s impressive to know that what impact non-surgical cosmetic treatments like lasers, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion and peels can have. Non-surgical treatments were popular in 2018 and are set to increase in popularity in 2019, especially with new and improved technologies being developed. From fat freezing to body contouring and evading the signs of ageing, non-surgical treatments allow you to shape, lift and tighten without having to undergo the knife. Here are some of the non-surgical cosmetic treatments that will be big in 2019. For many young women, prevention is important. Instead of waiting up until fine lines and wrinkles show up, they are treating them with anti-wrinkle injections like the Botox. The neurotoxins in the Botox prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles as they relax the muscles that crease the skin allowing you to retain youthful looking skin and glow for longer. On an average 80% of people aged 11-30 will be affected by acne, and due to this, acne treatment continue to rise in popularity. Hydrodermabrasion is one such procedure that helps to reduce the appearance of acne and provide a deep cleaning effect. This removes impurities such as blackheads and dead cells, thus resulting in clear, glowing skin to make you feel rejuvenated. For minor skin problems like the uneven skin tone, sun spots, dullness and large pores, fractional laser skin treatment is very popular. The painless procedure

sources is by creating a press release to publish on your blog and sending out an associated email newsletter to subscribers. A press release is an official statement from a business to the public that provides objective information about your products or services. If you’re utilizing social media sites like Facebook or Twitter, share the press release on those channels as well. Sites like Pinterest and Reddit have quite a bit of overlap with social media. The difference between social media and social bookmarking is that social bookmarking is the feature on a site that is designed with the intent of sharing content and creating an interface where users can search for articles and videos. This means that people are looking to find content just like yours! Whenever you create a new blog post, infographic, video etc. make sure to use social bookmarking to reach more people. If others find value with what you’ve shared, they will find even more value with your business and potentially become a customer. In scenarios where traditional marketing hasn’t fully done its job, it may be in the best interest of your business to introduce guerrilla marketing. Guerrilla marketing is a method in which a business seeks to create a huge buzz and garner interest about their brand, using non-traditional channels in the process. Essentially, you’re creating a “Wow!” moment. You want to turn heads. You want to guarantee that people will never forget this exposure to your brand and will want to make them associate with your business permanently. Examples of guerrilla marketing include catchy signs, unique events, viral YouTube videos, and more. Guerrilla marketing is not costly. In fact, one of the distinguishing characteristics of guerrilla marketing is its low cost. It just takes a bit more creativity and planning in order to implement effectively.

The aforementioned marketing tactics are a must for all businesses because of the low overhead costs and ease of setup and operation. But if your business has more money set aside for marketing, there are a number of marketing and advertising strategies that get a great return on investment. This is an internet advertising model that

is used to drive traffic to your website. Businesses pay publishers to host their ad and bid on keywords for which they want the ad to appear. When an ad is clicked, the business is charged money in return for a customer being sent to their website. AdWords is the name of the paid search advertising platform for Google, but there are other paid search platforms such as Bing Ads. Paid search is a great option for driving targeted traffic to your website while organic traffic builds. Facebook advertising is a highly effective way to promote your business directly to your target customers. The Facebook advertising platform enables you to target highly specific populations, based on gender, interests, age range, occupation, marital status, and more. Whether you’re looking to get more clients to your website or get more sales with a promotional offer, Facebook Ads can help get your business what you want. This is an offline marketing strategy that is still highly effective. It entails a business obtaining a list of prospective customers and sending them a sales letter or similar document outlining the product or service being offered. The potential consumer then has the option of positively responding or disregarding the campaign altogether. Direct mail is a costly route, but it is a way to contact potential customers in a personal manner. Similar to a direct mail campaign, the classic cold reach out, which today includes email, is a way of directly reaching out to prospective consumers. Although these are ‘cold’ forms of contact, they should be anything but cold, and should enlighten the consumer as to the many benefits of your business. You should also make sure you’re only cold calling people to whom your product or service is relevant. Cold calling or emailing can be a timely process, and time is money—these tactics are best reserved for businesses that have a larger staff on hand. Businesses with the most successful marketing campaigns never just stick with one tactic. They follow a marketing plan that enables them to try new things and analyze the results. They’re constantly trying new approaches to see what gives them the highest response rate, whether it is with A/B testing or using other analytical approaches. It’s critical for a business to determine what works to reach their audience and convert leads into paying customers. Not all marketing strategies will work for all businesses. A comprehensive, successful marketing plan will help implement these examples of marketing strategies for your business. These are really good strategies! I agree that social media, blogging and content marketing will really help. Thanks for sharing

more when we are not at ease or at dis-ease, and therefore the concentration of Prāṇa within the body decreases in quality. The measure or extent of Prāṇa beyond the body when we are quiet is less. When Prāṇa has difficulty in entering our body it is because something is there that shouldn’t be. The Yoga Sūtra calls that which blocks our well-being Kleśa or that which afflicts us. Its origins arise from a subtle stae of illusion know as Avidyā. It is also known in Haṭha Yoga as Mala or dirt (physical and mental). So the more a person is in a state of ease the more the Prāṇa is within the body, the more a person is in a state of dis-ease or disturbed the more the Prāṇa is scattered. There are times for all of us when our energy feels scattered due to internal or external situations. This is why T Krishnamacharya in his Yoga Rahasya tells us “where there are problems in the body use Āsana, where there are problems in the mind use Prāṇāyāma”. This is why Yoga looks at Prāṇa at the level of Āsana and Prāṇāyāma in order to influence the flow of Prāṇa in the body. We can use Āsana to explore the breath and use Prāṇāyāma to experience the breath. So what are the factors that disturb or scatter the intensity of flow of Prāṇa in the individual? In life our actions often disturb the mind and increase the measure of Prāṇa outside the body. In a child the Prāṇa tends to be as concentrated in its energy field as for the Yogi. In a person with disease or illness the energy field is weakened or scattered. This has been already described with the bicycle tyre and fried egg examples or Michelin Man examples. The way the Prāṇa is diffused or interrupted in its flow is due to changes in the flow of Prakrti. It is what happens in the realm of Prakrti that influences Prāṇa. The child has a good bio-energy field; however, as they grow up so the Prāṇa diffuses and becomes less

The way the Prāṇa is diffused or interrupted in its flow is due to changes in the flow of Prakrti. It is what happens in the realm of Prakrti that influences Prāṇa. The child has a good bio-energy field; however, as they grow up so the Prāṇa diffuses and becomes less

concentrated. This is because of the formation of unhelpful Saṃskāra (habit patterns). These Saṃskāra condition us to certain modes of being and can cause blockages or holding patterns on a mental, emotional, or physical level and thus interfere with a balanced flow of bio-energy. Saṃskāra may be present at birth from genetic history known as Vāsana, or formed from family, social and environmental life patterns. There are always positive and negative influences and these bring about certain patterns that will affect us in later life. These patterns are then compounded by our own actions with regard to food, social relationships, sexual activity, work, family relationships, social activities, etc. If there are problems in these areas then this will reflect in our bio-energy perhaps causing blockages, holding patterns, excess flow in one or more areas or a deficit in one or more areas. It is these disturbances in the Prāṇa that lay the foundation for disease or disturbance later in life. This is why both Āyurveda and Yoga maintain that disease, when present at the level of the body, is also present at the level of mind. This means that body is only part of the problem, we have to do something at a deeper level. We might remove a problem physically but the dis-ease is still present at the level of the mind. According to Patañjali in his Yoga Sūtra dis-ease that is not potentially active in the mind is not in the body. So the purpose of Yoga is to reduce the potential for disease at the level of the mind as well as the level of the body. Furthermore Patañjali tells us that not only is the disease in the mind but also the power to work with our relationship with how it manifests is in the mind. The mind can convert the impact of disease. So the idea is not to kill the diseased mind but to change it. This is why the Yoga Sūtra is a study of the faculties of the mind and its potential or power ror influencing the outcome and effects of our actions. So Āsana, Prāṇāyāma, Mudrā, Dhyānam and other tools are the means by which the mind becomes a powerful ally. Power is when the mind is free of the effects, though not necessarily the presence of disease. As we mature we encounter other difficulties that

remain under study, it is nevertheless clear that the GHGs resulting from animal production are one of the largest contributors to modern climate change. Despite these facts, the impact of the animal-based diet on global warming continues to be underestimated and underreported.[25] This is in addition to the grave situation described by Keselopoulos above. Using the argument of self-interest as a motivating factor, we can see how abstinence from an animal-based diet could have immediate beneficial results for our water sources, climate change and thus our future survival. We do not need to wait for world/government agreements in order to effect change. This partially addresses the human and environmental aspect of this theme but what about the animals, what do we know of their suffering in these industries? If we as individuals or as leaders of our Church are to engage with the subject of animal suffering we need to acquaint ourselves with the available knowledge not only on the environmental impact of an animal-based diet but also on the suffering involved in the systems used. There is a huge amount of research in this area and here I condense some of that research whilst referencing others: In order to meet the requirements of industrial production and high-density housing, animals are routinely branded with hot irons, dehorned, de-beaked, de-tailed and castrated without any sedation or painkillers…piglets have tails cut off and males are castrated by crushing or pulling off their testicles without analgesics, even though these procedures cause “considerable pain” (Broom and Fraser 1997). The same happens to lambs…The price for the mutilation is high for individual animals. Piglets show signs of pain for up to a week afterwards (including trembling, lethargy, vomiting and leg shaking). In lambs, stress hormone levels take a huge leap and they show signs of significant pain for four hours or more. Dairy calves who are dehorned show pain for six or more hours afterwards (Turner 2006). Birds too are mutilated without analgesics; beaks are trimmed and at times inside toes are also cut. After debeaking the animals will experience acute pain for circa two days and chronic pain lasts for up to six weeks (Duncan 2001). As stock numbers are vast, illness and injuries are likely to go undetected and result from high density, lack of space, lack of mental stimulation and physical exhaustion; physical and mental health problems quickly arise (Broom & Fraser 2007). Veal calves are often kept

As stock numbers are vast, illness and injuries are likely to go undetected and result from high density, lack of space, lack of mental stimulation and physical exhaustion; physical and mental health problems quickly arise (Broom & Fraser 2007). Veal calves are often kept

in tiny enclosures and tied down by their necks and quickly succumb to “abnormal behaviour and ill health” (Turner 2006; European Commission 1995). Intensive egg production weakens bones and leads to lameness, osteoporosis and painful fractures as all calcium and minerals are used for eggs causing “both acute and chronic pain”…it can also lead to internal haemorrhages, starvation and ultimately death which will be painful and “lingering” (Webster 2004:184). Cows suffer from mastitis and lameness (Stokka et al, 1997) and kept pregnant to keep milk yields high, (Vernelli 2005; Turner 2006).[26] There is no other reason for these practices other than the desire for increased profit; the “evil profit” that Met. Kallistos describes in Chapter Six. One question arising here is whether the required “spiritual revolution” should apply to the animals within these industries. If the answer is no, we ought to examine why we have made the choice to exclude billions of animals from receiving compassion, mercy and justice. If we conclude that they are simply for that use, then I believe we are in danger of continuing the mind-set of domination, which in turn, indicates that only human suffering is relevant to God. I submit that this mind-set is against the teachings of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Having given a small indication of the suffering endured during the rearing of animals, we should also consider their death. Most people no doubt believe that the killing of animals is ‘humane’ and undertaken close to home. Research provides evidence that even in countries with strict animal welfare laws, many millions are likely to suffer in the process of transportation and slaughter. Live animals are routinely transported by road, rail, sea or air across continents. All animal welfare charities agree that long distance transport causes enormous suffering through overcrowding, exhaustion, dehydration, pain and stress. For example, in the EU, up to 35 million chickens are dead by the time they reach the slaughterhouse.[27] Australia exports around four million live sheep every year, mostly to the Middle East. These animals can travel up to 50 hours by road before they start the three weeks journey by sea and a further journey by road in the importing country. It is estimated that tens of thousands of sheep die before reaching their destination.[28] Despite the Australian government’s implementation of an export supply-chain assurance scheme, investigations by

Freight Consolidation Cargo consolidation service provided by a freight forwarder in which several smaller shipments are assembled and shipped together to achieve better freight rates and security of cargo. A person or company whose business is to act as an agent on behalf of a shipper. A freight

forwarder frequently consolidates shipments from several shippers and coordinates booking reservations. Full Container load (FCL) A shipment of cargo that fills an ocean worthy container, typically measuring 20’ or 40’ long. The term typically refers to ocean containers. A full container will thus offer a better price per unit shipped than will a Less then Container Load (LCL). Full Telescopic Box A telescopic box consists of two pieces, a top and a bottom tray. These may be equal (full telescope), or unequal (partial telescope) in depth. Full Truckload (FTL) A shipment of cargo that fills a given container either by bulk or weight. Shipments larger than about 15,000 pounds are typically classified as “truckload” (TL). Truckload shipments may be up to 40,000 pounds or 53’ long. Full truckload shipments typically travel as the only shipment on a trailer and deliver on the same trailer as they are picked up on. General Average The law of general average is a legal principle of maritime law according to which all parties in a sea venture proportionally share any losses resulting from a voluntary sacrifice of part of the ship or cargo to save the whole in an emergency. Girth is defined as the width (rounded to the nearest inch) times two, plus the height (rounded to the nearest inch) times two, measured perpendicular to the length of an item. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) The combined total weight of a vehicle and its freight. Ground transport or transportation refers to the “over-the-road” transportation of goods usually by means of a commercial vehicle or truck. Combining several smaller shipments into a full container load to obtain a better per-unit cost for shipping. Also called consolidation. A six to eleven digit coding system (XXXX.XX.XXXX-X) to identify and classify imported and exported goods, for the purpose of compiling trade statistics and determining customs tariff. Called harmonized system (HS) for short, it divides goods into about 5,000 groups and sub-groups and is in use in most countries since January 1, 1989. The US tariff system is a modified form of HC that employs a ten-digit code.

certainly were. So far as we know the largest rodent ever to have lived was Josephoartigasia monesi, which lived during the Pliocene of Uruguay about 4 to 2 million years ago. It looked a bit like a capybara, with a stocky body and wide, bulky snout - except that it was about the size of a cow, and may have weighed as much as a ton. Which is big, for a rodent. But being really large isn't the only peculiarity of the dinomyid skeleton. Two features in particular stand out as oddities. One is that the second and third neck vertebrae are fused into a single bone. This must surely have made it harder for the animal to turn its neck flexibly, and is the sort of thing seen in animals that don't really want to do that - notably mole-rats, which need to keep their heads stiffly forward to avoid hurting their necks as they push through soil, and also animals that need to stay streamlined, such as dolphins. It's also seen in North American porcupines, and, since, like dinomyids, they aren't noted for either their swimming prowess or their subterranean lifestyle, this was long thought to indicate that the two kinds of rodent were closely related, this odd feature having evolved for no particularly obvious reason, and then just remained because it wasn't really a problem. We now think that dinomyids, while closer to porcupines than to, say, mice, were likely most closely related to chinchillas, endangered rat-sized rodents of the Andes sometimes farmed for their fur or raised as pets. Which, since chinchillas don't have fused neck-bones, means that this feature must have evolved twice, perhaps making it seem less likely that it is due to sheer random chance. The other unusual feature is just a little further up the skeleton. Along the length of an animal's backbone, the various vertebrae articulate with one another with a set of paired facets at either end. The forward (or upward, if you walk upright) facets of the first vertebra articulate with a pair of similarly shaped protrusions on the base of the skull, termed the occipital condyles. That's the normal arrangement, anyway. Because, in dinomyid skulls there are two pairs of protrusions: the condyles proper, and a second pair flanking them that, for lack of a better term, we call 'par

Because, in dinomyid skulls there are two pairs of protrusions: the condyles proper, and a second pair flanking them that, for lack of a better term, we call 'par

acondyles'. And these are entirely unique among mammals. So what the heck were they for? Back in 1916, Carlos Ameghino, younger brother of the much more famous palaeontologist Florentino Ameghino, published an analysis of the dinomyid species Tetrastylus intermedius in which he proposed that the paracondyles helped anchor heavy neck muscles that were needed to support the animal's unusually large head. That was over a hundred years ago, and seems to have been broadly accepted ever since. But was he right, and can we use more modern methodology to check? Well, yes we can, thanks to a recent re-analysis of Tetrastylus, along with three other extinct dinomyids and a large number of living rodent species. Among other things, this compared the size of the heads of these animals with that of their bodies, and revealed something rather surprising. It turns out that, even though Tetrastylus was slightly larger than a modern beaver, its head was about the same size. Indeed, when compared to all other rodents examined, it wasn't especially large, at all - proportional to the animal, it's about the same as that of a marmot, and, in absolute terms, it's much smaller than that of a capybara. On the other hand, the shape of the back of the skull certainly suggests that it did anchor large muscles, and, taken together with the fusion of the two bones further back, this suggests that Tetrastylus did, indeed, have difficulty moving its head too much. So the authors of the new study suggest that there must have been some behavioural reason for this, not something related to size alone. You might expect me, at this point, to say that, since dinomyids are all extinct, this is all speculation, and we can't really be sure what these animals were like in the flesh, let alone how they behaved. But I won't. Because they aren't. The dinomyids were at their height during the mid to late Miocene and the Pliocene, when the very largest forms existed. The Ice Ages, and perhaps the collision of North and South America, with its subequent arrival of new northern species in the south, wiped most of them out. But just one dinomyid species survived, and it's still alive today: the pacarana (Dinomys branickii). Pacaranas live in northwestern South America

Dateline did an episode on the murder of Betsy Faria. Her husband went to jail for a long time for it. It was Pamela all along. She set him up and let him go down and when she felt she might indeed be feeling the heat, killed another innocent person. Africa 3.12.2019 02:44 pm Mugabe left his family $10m, a farm and two houses Former Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe was ousted in 2017 . AFP/ALEXANDER JOE These assets were declared to the Zimbabwean High Court after the family had been unable to locate his will. Zimbabwe’s late former president Robert Mugabe left US$10 million, 10 cars, a farm and two houses, details of his estate released on Tuesday revealed. The state-owned Herald newspaper said his daughter, Bona Nyepudzai Mutsahuni-Chikore, disclosed these assets to the High Court after the family had been unable to locate his will. The $10 million (nine million euros) was in a foreign currency account with a local bank, the Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ), the report said. It did not identify the make or model of the 10 cars. During his presidency, Mugabe, who styled himself as a leftwing radical, was reported to own several farms that were seized during his controversial land reforms. Only one farm is listed on the inventory of his assets. His other properties, according to the list given to the High Court on October 21, include two houses in posh suburbs of the capital, Harare; his rural homestead in Zvimba; a two-hectare (five-acre)farming plot in Zvimba and a five-acre orchard. Mugabe, who ruled Zimbabwe from the country’s independence from British colonial rule in 1980 until being ousted in November 2017, died on September 6 at the age of 95 in Singapore, where he had been receiving treatment for prostate cancer. “Mrs Grace Mugabe was listed as the sole surviving spouse while Bona, Robert, Bellarmine and stepson Russel Goreraza were listed as surviving children,” The Herald reported.

Mugabe once said

in jest that he would remain in power until he turned 100. He was ousted after 37 years in power and replaced by his former deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa, whom Mugabe had fired weeks earlier. The later years of his rule were characterised by food shortages, massive joblessness and the use of brutal force against his opponents. Many had hoped Mnangagwa would fare better but the hardships that Zimbabweans suffered under Mugabe have returned to haunt the country. According to the World Bank, extreme poverty is likely to affect 5.7 million Zimbabweans this year — equivalent to 34 percent of the population, after 29 percent in 2018. Gross domestic product is likely to contract by 7.5 percent in 2019, it says. For more news your way, download The Citizen’s app for iOS and Android.

(AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File) This outbreak goes way beyond the 70 cases. If measles is diagnosed in a school, anyone — student or teacher — who does not have proof of vaccination is kept out. Students are struggling to keep up at home, parents are juggling child care and teachers have to shift duties. Jake Goldstein-Street In the Washington county that is home to one of the nation’s largest measles outbreaks, the effects go far beyond the 70 confirmed cases there. More than 800 students considered exposed to the highly contagious disease in Clark County have been ordered to stay away from classrooms for up to three weeks. Since early January, field trips, after-school activities such as family nights, even an assembly honoring Martin Luther King Jr. have been canceled or postponed. Some students are doing homework off prepared handouts; others are using their school-issued laptops to keep up. If just one child in a school is diagnosed, all are considered exposed — and any student whose parents cannot prove their child was vaccinated is kept away. “School exclusions are a critical tool and public health strategy

igrant Responsibility Act of 1996, signed by Clinton on September 30, 1996, imposed a variety of measures to tighten enforcement of the immigration laws, mainly by strengthening deportation provisions and expanding the ability to deport those convicted of crimes and keep out of the country those already deported. IIRIRA may not have satisfied border hawks, but like a number of Clinton-era initiatives it built bridges between moderates in both parties by targeting a narrow class of criminals. -"The Regulatory Accounting Act, passed in the final weeks of the 104th Congress, requires the executive branch to produce an annual report for Congress estimating the total benefits and costs of all federal regulations." This, too, was a longstanding conservative reform proposal. Also passing at the end was the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, a Kit Bond-backed bill to ease regulatory burdens on small business, a perennial Republican priority. Another Contract with America promise, the $500 per child tax credit, would be signed into law by Clinton in 1997. Whether conservatives got a good deal out of all this, whether they chose wisely in striking each of these deals, and whether these bills worked in practice as promised is a whole separate issue. The point is, there's a lot on that list that gave conservatives and Republicans things they wanted and had been agitating for over the prior two decades, and nothing on the list that compelled Republican legislators to go home to their constituents having broken any major promise or violated any core principle. I Remember Bill Clinton. You, Sir, Are No Bill Clinton Contrast Obama. Obama, of course, famously started out in the stimulus bill negotiations telling John Kyl "I won" and building a bill so heavy on liberal wish-lists and so light on the kinds of tax cuts preferred by conservatives that he ended up without a single House Republican and only three Republican Senators backing the bill, while Obama's Commerce Secretary nominee (Republican Senator Judd Gregg) withdrew his nomination in disgust. The rest of Obama's first two years went much the same way, with efforts from successful (healthcare) to unsuccessful (cap-and-trade) to steamroll legislation through Congress with no Republican support at all. In 2010, voters, again appalled by liberal overreach, repeated their 1994 trick of removing the keys from the hands of the House Democrats, sharply cutting into the Democrats' Senate majority, and sweeping scores of Republican Governors and state legislators into office. But Obama was no Clinton. The debt-ceiling and other fiscal negotiations broke down again and again over Obama's demands that Republicans

But Obama was no Clinton. The debt-ceiling and other fiscal negotiations broke down again and again over Obama's demands that Republicans

sign off on tax hikes that he knew were poison pills, sure to torpedo any agreement. When agreements were reached to extend the Bush tax cuts and raise the debt ceiling, they were always temporary, set to expire as soon as Obama could get re-elected and follow through on his pledge to raise taxes. Some spending cuts were agreed to, but often in deals so full of budgetary tricks they were denounced by conservatives as containing no actual cuts at all. One especially ugly expedient has been the "fiscal cliff," a sort of doomsday device that automatically gives everyone something they hate (tax hikes, defense cuts, draconian cuts to federal social spending) and nobody an outcome they want. Clinton and Gingrich, as personally self-destructive and acrimonious as they could be at times, never had to essentially handcuff themselves to a bomb just to bring themselves back to the negotiating table. And where have been the real bipartisan proposals? Note the relentless march of new bills that Clinton signed into law in August and September 1996; the poor Dole campaign could scarcely plant its feet against Clinton without having to deal with him signing yet another agreement with Newt to fulfill the Contract with America and give Republicans something to bring home to their constituents. What has Obama ever been ready to agree to that would let an embattled conservative like Steve King or Allen West burnish his own bipartisan credentials back in his district? What, among the many budgets, jobs bills and other proposals to pass the House under John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan, has Obama been willing to shepherd through the Senate and sign? Even the much-reviled George W. Bush had a much longer record than this of bills that drew bipartisan support in his first term. What Obama has offered instead is basically straw-man bipartisanship, a Potemkin facade of offerings no sane Republican would believe in. Temporary tax cuts, temporary tax rebates or handouts to non-taxpayers disguised as "tax cuts" are billed as concessions to Republicans. Things like the individual mandate - once accepted in obscure think tank papers, supported mostly in unserious legislative proposals and passed into law only by aisle-crossers like Romney - get touted by Obama as "Republican ideas" despite their manifest unpopularity at all times with actual Republican voters. These are "gotcha" debaters points, not concessions. None of this is how you get deals done if you're serious about doing deals. There is certainly a place in Washington for the advocacy of principled positions, and conservatives will undoubtedly soon

a successful businessman. Ed’s private life told a different story; while describing his relationship with his family, he explained, “I was kind of there, but I was never there.

A Silver Lining: Online Support Even those who are physically isolating at home with their families during the current pandemic might be experiencing loneliness and are therefore vulnerable to mental illness. Access to counselling is critical. Fortunately, governments and Canadians appear to be undergoing a transformation in their attitudes towards online support. I admit I did not like using online platforms like Skype and Zoom before the pandemic. I preferred meeting in person or talking over the phone.

On May 3, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an investment of $240.5 million to develop, expand, and launch virtual care and mental health tools to support Canadians. Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that his government would be expanding virtual mental health services. I suspect that Canadian healthcare providers will continue their use of telehealth long after the COVID-19 pandemic draws to a close. There has been a surge in demand for telehealth services since the middle of March, often overwhelming telehealth providers’ technical infrastructure and the supply of healthcare professionals who are willing and able to deliver virtual care.

once again appeared in front of him. After being imprisoned by the Hun clan for so many years, he was clearly aware of just how terrifying the Hun clan was. The Dou Huang or even Dou Zong, who could dominate the Jia Ma Empire back then was only considered ordinary in that place. Such a strength was sufficient to cause one to feel a sense of hopelessness. Xiao Yan looked at the elderly figure, who was being restrained by heavy metal chains. A moment later, he smiled and lifted his head. He inhaled a deep breath of air. Regardless of how much hardship he had suffered, his father was at the very least still alive. Lei Ying and the others were startled as they looked at the smile on Xiao Yan’s face. A dense chill rose within their hearts. A person with a ferocious look was not terrifying. A terrifying person was someone who was able to keep a smile on his face while a murderous intent was surging within his heart. Hun Tiandi’s face twitched slightly. Xiao Yan’s talent was as glaring as Xiao Xuan back then. However, the former’s viciousness had clearly greatly surpassed Xiao Xuan. Xiao Yan clenched his hand. An ancient jade flashed and appeared. It was the final Tuo She Ancient God Jade. Xiao Yan did not try using a counterfeit jade. This was because he understood that this method would not work on an expert like Hun Tiandi. The bodies of Lei Ying’s group became a lot more tense after they saw Xiao Yan take out the ancient jade. However, no one uttered anything to stop Xiao Yan at this moment. From Xiao Yan’s appearance earlier, he would likely turn against anyone who tried to stop him from rescuing his father at this moment. “We will exchange the person and jade together. You should understand just how simple it is for me to kill your father. Hence, you better not allow me to see you pulling any tricks…” Hun Tiandi withdrew his eyes and slowly said. Xiao Yan glanced at Hun Tiandi. He spread his hand and the ancient jade slowly rose under his control. Seeing this, Hun Tiandi also waved his sleeve. The prison formed by the black fog scattered. With a flick of his finger, those metal chains on Xiao Zhans body were all released. Finally, he clenched his hand. It turned into a black ray of light that grabbed onto Xiao Zhan. Hun

Tiandi waved his large hand. Xiao Zhan was brought to Xiao Yan under the restrain of the black light. After which, a thought passed through Xiao Yan’s mind and the ancient jade also shot directly towards Hun Tiandi. At the same time, Xiao Yan pressed his toes on the air and shot forward. His large hand grabbed onto Xiao Zhan. A suction force erupted and he pulled the latter over. He slashed his hand downwards and the black restrain around Xiao Zhan’s body was cut. Hun Tiandi grabbed onto the ancient jade just as Xiao Yan had managed to rescue Xiao Zhan. Even with his calmness, he could not help but laugh out loud as he sensed the warmth in the ancient jade. Now that the ancient jade was in his hand, he was already able to see himself stepping into the stage that he dreamed of. Xiao Yan’s excited body trembled involuntarily as he caught hold of Xiao Zhan. His body flashed and he quickly flew into the alliance. After which, he carefully placed Xiao Zhan down. Escaping from the restraint and being rescued had occurred in a split second to Xiao Zhan. He had just recovered his focus when he saw the face that was in close proximity. His trembling hand touched Xiao Yan’s face. That terrified manner was as though he was afraid that this was only an illusion. This was in spite of him constantly hoping for this day to come. Seeing that thin ice like appeared of Xiao Zhan, even Xiao Yan could not help but feel his eyes turn red. Both of his legs heavily knelt in front of the former. Even the huge rock under him had ended up with many crack lines. Xiao Zhan’s hands touched Xiao Yan’s face in a trembling fashion. He sensed the warmth and his tears rolled down uncontrollably. This scene caused all those around to feel sad. “Protect my father.” Xiao Yan turned his head and spoke to those experts from the Sky Mansion beside him. Those dozens of Sky Mansion experts, who had reached the peak of the the Dou Zun class, immediately replied respectfully after hearing this. Immediately, they moved and appeared around Xiao Zhan, providing him with a tight protection. Xiao Zhan was startled as he watched this scene. These people around him all possessed powerful and terrifying auras. They were considered quite strong even in the Hun clan. However, he felt a great

up on the island of Nantucket, the capital of the whaling industry, where many houses had viewing platforms to see the return of ships. Mitchell, however, used them to “sweep the heavens”, together with her father, also an astronomer, who offered the same education to his son as to his daughters. At age 12, Maria helped him calculate the position of their house by observing a solar eclipse. Two years later, the teenager was already assisting the island’s sailors to calculate the best route for their long trips. A world-renowned scientist Having books always available at home made her aware of the power of education, especially for women. She believed that women’s minds were often wasted when they were forced to devote more time to activities such as sewing or cooking than to engaging in intellectual activities. Mitchell became a teaching assistant at the age of 16, and a year later she set up her own school, but left the post to become the first librarian at Nantucket´s Atheneum. Location of the lunar crater named after Maria Mitchell. Credit: Eric S. Kounce / West Texas Astronomers She returned to teaching now as a world-renowned scientist, at a time when women did not have much opportunity to continue their education after adolescence. Impressed by the success of the young astronomer—Mitchell had not only won a medal offered by the King of Denmark, Frederick VI, for the discovery of Miss Mitchell’s Comet, but had also observed sunspots, stars, nebulae, and the moons of Jupiter and Saturn—Matthew Vassar hired her as the first female professor at the newly opened university Vassar College. He also saw her as a model for “ambitious and intelligent” women. And so she was. Maria Mitchell paved the way for astronomers and, moreover, demanded and eventually received the same salary as male professors. Scientific work and social activism The astronomer was sometimes surprised by the attention she received from her scientific work, despite being a woman. She wrote in her diary once: “It is really amusing to find one’s self lionized in a city where one has visited quietly for years; to see the doors open wide to receive you, which never opened before.” One of those doors was that of the Vatican Observatory, one of the oldest in the world. During a trip to Rome in 1858, Mitchell wrote to Angelo Sacchi, the Vatican’s

organisations. For all those reasons--both of principles and of practice--we should take a much more rigorous attitude to would-be promoters of private Bills. They should have to prove the need for what they propose. They should have to prove that what they propose is not just in their interests, but in the interests of the general public. If it is just in their interests and they cannot find a law to allow them to do it-- tough. At the outset, even if it is in the public interest, promoters should also have to prove that what they need cannot be achieved by other means, however expensive and inconvenient to them those other means might be. I welcome the report of the Joint Committee because, as I understand it, it proposes just such a robust approach to those who want to promote private Bills. I say "as I understand it" advisedly because, although I have studied the report carefully and I have discussed it with people who understand these matters far better than I do, I would not claim that I have mastered all its intricacies. Not only do I acknowledge the tenuousness of my grasp of some of the report, but I am doubtful of the grasp of many other right hon. and hon. Members. My experience in the House is that, if someone says that he understands a procedure, he is the last person to ask for advice on that procedure. That is why I always go to the Clerks. As the Leader of the House has said, the nub of the Committee's approach lies in its recommendations that a promoter should be required to prove that private legislation is necessary to secure the primary purpose of the Bill and that, where that primary purpose can be secured by other means, Parliament should either not be involved at all or should be asked only to deal with any aspects that specifically require the authority of Parliament. In other words, what happens in future should not be what has happened in the past, where some minor need for parliamentary approval has been used as a stalking horse by the promoters to avoid a local planning inquiry into the primary purpose of their project. That is a most welcome proposal. My notes, which I wrote before I heard the Leader of the House speak, say, "I cannot see how it could be resisted by anyone." However, I now discover that that aspect of the proposals is resisted by the Leader of the House, partly on the ground, apparently, that we might have great difficulty in deciding the primary purpose of a piece of legislation. That is from a Government who

Not only do I acknowledge the tenuousness of my grasp of some of the report, but I am doubtful of the grasp of many other right hon. and hon. Members. My experience in the House is that, if someone says that he understands a procedure, he is the last person to ask for advice on that procedure. That is why I always go to the Clerks. As the Leader of the House has said, the nub of the Committee's approach lies in its recommendations that a promoter should be required to prove that private legislation is necessary to secure the primary purpose of the Bill and that, where that primary purpose can be secured by other means, Parliament should either not be involved at all or should be asked only to deal with any aspects that specifically require the authority of Parliament. In other words, what happens in future should not be what has happened in the past, where some minor need for parliamentary approval has been used as a stalking horse by the promoters to avoid a local planning inquiry into the primary purpose of their project. That is a most welcome proposal. My notes, which I wrote before I heard the Leader of the House speak, say, "I cannot see how it could be resisted by anyone." However, I now discover that that aspect of the proposals is resisted by the Leader of the House, partly on the ground, apparently, that we might have great difficulty in deciding the primary purpose of a piece of legislation. That is from a Government who

have introduced an immigration law that says that a person marrying someone from abroad has to prove the primary purpose of the marriage.I suggest to anyone with any experience of this world that trying to prove the primary purpose of a marriage is much more difficult than trying to discern the primary purpose of a private Bill. I believe that, if we set our minds to defining the primary purpose of a Bill, we should not find it very difficult. I hope that we will not see strenuous Government resistance to that aspect of the proposals. If there is strenuous resistance, it will be strenuous Government resistance to the nub of the proposals, as I understand them. The Committee goes further than that and recommends that, in certain circumstances, where planning considerations are accepted by everyone to be dominant--but there are works which at the moment would require resort to the House--even the works could be dealt with by non-parliamentary procedures, where necessary involving public local inquiries. That appears to be a sound approach, too. Much of the history of what might be described as the modern private Bill procedure is dominated by the need for legislative protection for railway promoters and builders against common law actions for nuisance. Railway works are still the single most common reason for seeking to promote a private Bill. I shall leave it to my hon. Friend the Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Mr. Smith) to deal with our joint interest in British Rail's deplorable and ludicrous proposals to build Britain's premier Euro-station in a vast, gloomy and horrible cavern underneath the mainline station at King's Cross. Even my minor involvement in helping some of the objectors to the proposals--who have therefore become petitioners-- suggests that our present procedure is not a sound way of going about things. People feel much more excluded and much more mystified by the private Bill process than they do by public local inquiries. The Joint Committee proposed to change the procedure for railway works to bring them roughly in line with the proposal for road works, in that the promoter of the railway works would draft an order and consult locally about it. The promoter would then submit the draft order to the relevant Secretary of State, who could make, modify or reject the order only after a public local inquiry into any valid objections. On balance, that is probably a good idea. However, we must accept that that means that the promoter of a railway, having secured Government support for it, if there is any parliamentary trouble, is likely to secure the payroll vote--and have everyone else

since Google changed how that's handled very recently it wouldn't affect them directly, and that's what the point is, for them to notice this isn't a bunch of idiots complaining that is raining when it's winter. Such a shame, Poweramp, you are one step from being the greatest music app, but are still rooted in place, been there for years now. And just so it's clear, it doesn't matter if better playlists are implemented directly or as 3rd party, hell, right now no one would care as long as it gets done. I would pay another 5 bucks for that 3rd party, god. Let's do this, guys. It doesn't take more than 2 minutes to get it done. Moonrakerone This is ridiculous. You're encouraging refunds for an app that does 99% of everything you'd like, and because you're crazy picky have decided it doesn't work? Madness. Anyway, I use smart playlists fine. I use the program musicbee which exports smart playlists as .m3u everytime I sync I get a static copy of the smart playlist exported to the phone. hexradnor Interesting to hear about musicbee. I'm not sure I'm keen to install another app to fix this but it's a cool idea. I figure it's harder to program this than you say cookie. Indeed you've had 2 years to create a 3rd party solution yourself. It's difficult as a customer sometimes-you feel entitled because you spent money and in some respects you are. However, you have bought the app "as is" -meaning you are only entitled to the features advertised and no more. The fact you get updates with new features (and not just bug fixes) is actually rather generous. paxrad While I don't think this 1-star rating thing is the way to go I fully agree that the lack of smart playlists is what's ridiculous here. ALL of the serious competition have had it for ages, and the PA guys have promised to add it years ago. Today they don't even comment on this anymore, which makes them appear a bit arrogant towards loyal users. I for one have long since switched to GoneMad player, which - compared to PA - is rather ugly, but featurewise cant be beat. Should PA someday add smart playlists, I might consider going back to it. ahanix1989 Being that I am picky about my playlists, the ONLY

the churches in such a covenant as that. Again: We have Bible-classes, and Sabbath-schools just like the churches, but no one accuses us of patterning after them in these respects.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.8 BRO. WHITE. I am convinced: not by what the brethren have said: for I was convinced before. I wish to say a word now in favor of the resolution. I prefer that the brethren should be uniform in this thing. This would tend to unity in the church. Let us set a right example here, and let it go out from this meeting. This is one reason why I would vote for this covenant. On the subject of creeds, I agree with Bro. Loughborough. I never weighed the points which he has presented, as I have since I began to examine the subject for myself. In Ephesians 4:11-13, we read, “And he gave some apostles, and some prophets,” etc. Here we have the gifts of the church, presented. Now I take the ground that creeds stand in direct opposition to the gifts. Let us suppose a case: We get up a creed, stating just what we shall believe on this point and the other, and just what we shall do in reference to this thing and that, and say that we will believe the gifts too. But suppose the Lord, through the gifts, should give us some new light that did not harmonize with our creed; then, if we remain true to the gifts, it knocks our creed all over at once. Making a creed is setting the stakes, and barring up the way to all future advancement. God put the gifts into the church for a good and great object; but men who have got up their churches, have shut up the way or have marked out a course for the Almighty. They say virtually that the Lord must not do anything further than what has been marked out in the creed. A creed and the gifts thus stand in direct opposition to each other. Now what is our position as a people? The Bible is our creed. We reject everything in the form of a human creed. We take the Bible and the gifts of the Spirit; embracing the faith that thus the Lord will teach us from time to time. And in this we take a position against the formation of a creed. We are not taking one step, in what we are doing, toward becoming Babylon.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.9

BRO. CORNELL. I think we have many examples in the Scriptures of the people of God entering into a covenant. It is always proper to covenant to do right; and there can be no more appropriate covenant than to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. [Reads 2 Chronicles 15:12, and says] Here it seems the people of God were at one time together, and all entering into a covenant to do what the Bible commanded them to do. I think, in the step we propose, we are only entering into a covenant to do what the Lord commands us to do.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.10 BRO. BYINGTON. A covenant I understand is a promise or vow. The Bible requires us to pay our vows unto God. We could not pay them unless we had made them.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.11 BRO. WHITE. The 19th chapter of Exodus shows that there was a covenant entered into between God and the people to keep the commandments of God. God promises that if they would keep his commandments he would be their God; and the people say, All the words that the Lord has spoken will we do. Read also 2 Kings 23:3.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.12 BRO. LOUGHBOROUGH. The greatest objection that rests in the minds of individuals, I presume, is having this thing set down in writing. I do not know as I ever went into a meeting, but there were some to express the determination to renew their covenant. Now there is the covenant; but to just put that down in writing, seems, in the minds of some, to be Babylon. You see at once that here is where the difficulty lies; for when I state a thing I endorse it; and all the difference there is between that and what we now propose, is that one is set down in writing and the other is not.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.13 The question was called for, and unanimously carried.ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.14 2. The next question being in regard to the proper manner of organizing churches, after some remarks by different individuals, the following resolution was presented by Bro. White:ARSH October 8, 1861, page 149.15 Resolved, That we refer this subject to the ministers present, instructing them to hold a Bible class on it, and write an address to the

One steward, John Hart, escorted two groups of third class women and children up through the tortuous route from the base of the third class stairwell to the boat deck.

message was never delivered to the Captain or his officers. The wireless operator was too busy sending out personal Marconigrams for the passengers. The lookouts had no binoculars. White Star Line employed professional lookouts, seamen specially trained and specially compensated for the job. Binoculars were essential to their task. Unfortunately, the binoculars employed during the sea trials on April 2 were apparently misplaced between that time and the sailing. Using only the naked eye, lookout Frederick Fleet did not see the iceberg until it was a mere 500 yards ahead, only 37 seconds from impact. (Shortly before the collision, Fleet remarked to the other lookout, Lee, that one can �smell ice� when it�s near. While this sounds outlandish, it is sometimes possible. Icebergs acquire a certain amount of marine life attached to their undersides, shrimp and so forth. If progressive melting causes the berg to become unbalanced and turn over, those animals die and produce a significant odor.) Titanic's maneuverability had never been tested at full speed. Titanic's maneuverability had never been tested at full speed. Titanic's sea trials were accomplished in a few hours, and included some maneuvering tests, but most were conducted at speeds of 20 knots or less. When the engines were reversed to "full speed astern" from a forward speed of 20 knots, it took 850 yards - almost half a mile - for the ship to come to a complete stop. She attained a speed slightly in excess of 21 knots only briefly during the day of the trials. Titanic was never sailed at 22 knots (her speed at the time of the collision) until she was on the open ocean, so it was unknown how long it would take the ship to respond at the higher speed.

endorsement). I think a lot of us have developed techniques for dealing with this — deciding not to go on Twitter, for instance, or only engaging the tumblr stream at certain times of day. So, no, I don’t have any list of best solutions to that problem, but I wanted to reflect on the source of the edginess, at least briefly. I understand the discomfort, because I feel it too. I just wonder where it’s coming from. What do you guys think? There’s the wanting to know quickly, wanting to know first, issue. Not wanting to see something after everyone else has, and after every other thought about it has been expressed. This matter has occasionally motivated me to make judgments before I’m entirely ready. This might make you stay more tuned into media than you really want to be, and thus edgy if you can’t get away. There’s the whole matter of liking the boutique or “best kept secret” fandom matter as opposed to a fandom that’s becoming more of a mass thing. You might feel uncomfortable with the fact that the media stream indicates a larger fandom and one with different tastes than you. I personally like the larger fandom, though it has its irritations (such as the fact that every generation of new fans has to go through particular stages on particular questions). Tumblr in particular causes one to have to sift through a lot of at times irritating repetition. Perhaps a corollary — tumblr has its own culture, and the social media around Armitage apart from the BNFs are becoming more and more anonymous as he gets more and more fans. So there’s the whole thing of finding oneself in a sphere that’s ever more unpredictable, and in which one’s own speech is harder to make either heard, or to be universally intelligible. That could make one nervous. There’s, of course, information overload. Just too much. As the confessor says, “too much happening at once.” And particularly, hype in advance of the actual product, something that turned Agzy way off last December. And I was also thinking about the extent to which, if Armitage functions in one’s life as a stimulant, like caffeine or sugar, there’s the matter of crash afterwards when you don’t have it.

There are fans (I would be one) who are so hooked into the information stream that it’s hard to avoid certain kinds of jolts — I wonder if that’s true of the “average” fan, though.

tamper with the way the Internet functions. You can learn about it here: █████████████████, here: █████████ here:██████ and here:█████████. Kidding! That blackout technique is part of the point these sites are trying to make today as they fully go dark. - There’s a large blackout bar over Google’s logo. - English-language Wikipedia sites are blacked out. - And, don't freak out, but the tech blog Boing Boing shows a “service unavailable” error. "Boing Boing is offline today, because the US Senate is considering legislation that would certainly kill us forever," the site says. The humor website TheOatmeal.com has gotten the most traction for its creative use of their homepage to bring attention to SOPA. "For the next 24 hours I am blacking out TheOatmeal.com in protest of SOPA and PIPA. If one of these bills were to pass, this page is what many sites on the internet would look like," the website reads. "As someone who creates content for the web, earns a living from it, and has had his content pirated, I do feel that we need better legislation against online piracy. I do not, however, think that SOPA or PIPA are the legislation we need." The site's page, like many others remains black and has an animated GIF that it points out they took from somewhere else. If SOPA were to pass, the site says, they would be shut down. We'd show you the full animation, but it is a little not-safe-for-work. The animation is several images compiled from the Web with text about SOPA and a message in between, as seen above. The site asks you to join them and "please pirate the s***out of this animated GIF." The site GOOD, which is known for its commentary on culture and society, also put up a massive splash page today. "Today, GOOD is joining forces with friends around the world and around the internet to mobilize opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act, the flawed bills being considered in the House and Senate right now," the site says at the top of their homepage. At the bottom they thank those who share their view, in quite an upfront way. All these sites, and thousands of others, are protesting two anti-piracy bills that are up for debate in the U

held in Jerusalem year after year and we have repeatedly called the attention of the United Nations to the fact that they constituted a clear violation of the General Armistice Agreement. 7. The Mixed Armistice Commission upheld our view and its decision was endorsed by this Council. This year another parade is contemplated, a parade which is different in character. It is part of a vicious plan to establish non-existent rights in the Holy City and present the United Nations and the world with an accomplished fact. 8. This year my country, which has suffered so much from faits accomplis, has reason to be specially concerned about the Israeli plan to annex Jerusalem, of which the parade is only one visible aspect. We have reason to be concerned because previous Israeli incursions were not effectively checked, and we feel that the Security Council should not, in a matter of the utmost gravity as this, allow the Israelis to undermine the authority of this Organization. 9. On 4 July 1967, the General Assembly at its fifth emergency special session adopted resolution 2253 (ES-V), on Jerusalem, by a vote of 99 in favor, none against, and only Israel and the United States abstaining. That resolution expressed deep concern at the situation prevailing in Jerusalem as a result of the measures taken by Israel to change the status of the City. The General Assembly considered those measures invalid and called upon Israel to desist forthwith from taking any action which would alter the status of Jerusalem. The Secretary-General was requested to report to the Assembly and the Security Council on the implementation of that resolution not later than one week after its adoption. The Israelis defied that resolution, and their action prompted the General Assembly to deplore, in. a subsequent resolution [2254 (ES-V)] the Israeli non-compliance with its first resolution. The General Assembly reiterated its call to Israel to rescind all measures already taken and to desist forthwith from taking any action which would alter the status of Jerusalem. 10. Following the adoption of that resolution, the Secretary-General sent a personal representative, Mr. Thalmann, to Jerusalem to obtain information on the situation. Mr. Thalmann visited the Holy City and reported on 12 September 1967 that the Israelis, including the Prime Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, had made clear that "Israel was taking every step to place under its sovereignty those parts of the city which were not controlled by Israel before June 1967" [S/8146, para. 33]. Furthermore, Mr. Thalmann said: "

Furthermore, Mr. Thalmann said: "

The Israeli authorities stated unequivocally that the process of integration was irreversible and not negotiable" [ibid., para. 35]. Mr. Thalmann added, referring to Israeli legislation: "Under the Law and Administration Ordinance (Amendment No. 11) Law of 27 June 1967, it was provided that the law, jurisdiction and administration of the State should apply in any area of the State of Israel designated by the Government by order. Under this provision the Government issued an order dated 28 June 1967 which declared that a territory defined in an annex was at an area in which the law, jurisdiction and administration of the State of Israel were in force. The area described in detail in the annex included the Old City, Stir Bahir, Sheikh Jarrah, the Kalandia airport, Mount Scopus and vicinity and Shufat." [Ibid., para. 39.] 11. As we have learned to anticipate from the Israeli authorities, they were busy consolidating their gains by all means available to them. This fact was generally established in Mr. Thalmann's report. Mr. Thalmann was able to ascertain, for instance, that the Israelis had taken drastic measures to stop the free flow of information to the Arab inhabitants, thus forcing them to rely solely on the Israeli media of information. The two daily Arab newspapers which were published in Jerusalem have been completely silenced and have disappeared. 12. Freedom of information was not the only victim of the repressive Israeli measures, since those acts were followed by cruel acts against the human person and property. Mr. Thalmann's report made reference to memoranda, statements, resolutions and other Communications Submitted to the personal representative of the Secretary-General by Arab personalities, including many officials and recognized religious leaders. Those communications ranged from complaints regarding the desecration of Holy Places, oppressive economic measures, imposed Israeli cultural and educational systems, and application of repressive Israeli civil laws to the destruction of homes and Moslem and Christian Holy Places, the expulsion of thousands of people and the confiscation of private property. 13. In spite of all these Israeli atrocities and violations of international law, Mr. Thalmann stated that he was informed that the Arab population placed their trust in the United Nations and relied on the resolutions adopted by the General Assembly in July 1967. 14. In a memorandum to Mr. Thalmann, dated 26 August 1967, the elected Mayor of Jerusalem, Mr. Pauhi El-Khatib, his deputy and the members of the Municipal Council stated clearly that

pose so much threat of infection as do private indoor gatherings. According to the statement, “it has been scientifically proven that COVID-19 infections occur almost exclusively indoors”. Clubcomission calls attention to the fact that “In the past year […] numerous organizers proved that open airs with hygiene concepts, masks and distancing are possible.” In the words of Lutz Leichsenring: “It turns out that open-air events and gatherings are the solutions, not the problem. Not the numerous open airs last summer led to rising infection rates, but poorly ventilated indoor spaces such as private living rooms or offices.” photos: Keith Telfeyan And while such indoor events are also banned, Clubcomission argues that “indoor violations can not be controlled by the authorities with a few exceptions. Yet private indoor meetings are responsible for 99.9% of infections, according to findings of a study by Ireland’s HPSC.” We think the Berlin Clubcomission is making some valid points, especially pertinent now that summer is around the corner. As Pamela Schobeß put it: “All people long for culture, to attend a play, listen to a reading or dance to music. These outdoor events not only give Berliners back some quality of life, but they are also so much safer from a pandemic point of view than private meetings in closed rooms.” As the recent scandal around the Bottega Venetta party has shown, the pandemic regulations are not taken seriously by those privileged enough to escape or avoid them. Meanwhile, the lockdown fatigue is real – and the ever-changing restrictions do little to alleviate it. Lifting the ban on open-air gatherings could provide the desperately needed possibility to interact with friends off-screen without having to resort to clandestine house parties. The current slow-paced vaccine rollout does not leave us feeling like there is an end in sight to the pandemic. But as we wait for Berlin to transform back into the city we once knew, it feels like we need something to remind us of our best pre-corona days here. A post shared by Clubcommission Berlin e.V.

E. in Phillips Petroleum Company, he had set up two of his own, the Waite Phillips Company in 1922, and the Independent Oil and Gas Company, which he later sold and which merged with Phillips in 1930. Over two decades he

made a fortune in oil in Oklahoma, and his success displeased older brother Frank. After the merger, having twice demonstrated his ability to succeed in the oil business, Waite Phillips devoted an increasing amount of time to real estate and charities. His long-time dream was to become a rancher, and in the 1920s he bought more than three hundred thousand acres near Cimarron, New Mexico. He was determined to build one of the best cattle ranches in the state. In 1938 Waite founded the Southwestern Art Association as a corporate organization to receive as a gift the Villa Philbrook, his Tulsa estate, which became the Philbrook Museum of Art. An incorporated community in eastern Osage County, Barnsdall is situated on State Highway 11, seventeen miles southeast of the Osage County seat of Pawhuska and forty miles north of Tulsa. Originally named Bigheart for Osage Chief James Bigheart, the community was officially renamed in honor of Theodore N. Barnsdall and his Barnsdall Oil Company on January 1, 1922. The Barnsdall Oil Company discovered the nearby Barnsdall or Bigheart Oil Field in 1916 and purchased the local Bigheart Producing and Refining Company in 1921. Joshua S. Cosden built the Southwestern Refining Company at Bigheart circa 1910. He sold the facility in 1917, four years before its acquisition by the Barnsdall Refining Company, which was renamed the Bareco Oil Company in 1940. Bareco stopped refining in 1946 and began manufacturing microcrystalline waxes. Bareco was redesignated the Bareco Wax Company in 1952 and was subsequently purchased by the Petrolite Corporation. The plant became the world's largest manufacturer of microcrystalline waxes and remained operational into the twenty-first century.

Women's Six Nations: Tournament to start in 'spring or summer' BY: Loop Pacific 08:03, January 14, 2021 Full details are expected by the end of January, with the men's Six Nations set to start as planned in February. Ireland, Scotland and Italy's Women's Six Nations fixtures may double as 2021 World Cup qualification matches given none of the three have yet secured a place at the tournament. The Under-20 Six Nations has also been delayed until later in 2021. Like the women's tournament, it would normally run at the same time as the men's Six Nations.

The final round will be a series of crossover matches against the team with the equivalent placing in the opposite pool. Fiji have not played four consecutive tests against tier one countries in the professional era and CEO, John O'Connor, said their participation would be a historic milestone. "It will be a challenge for the boys but you know we have been crying over [wanting] more test matches against tier one for so long," he said.

AMP that I won awhile ago. I really like the fit and style, but for some reason, we had quite a few leaks in it which surprised me b/c of the style of the insert. I think I was doing something wrong, or maybe just b/c she was petite. We still used it b/c I really like it though. The first AMP I had was a few years old, and I had some major issues with it. I was convinced that it was terrible, got rid of the ones that I had, and didn’t look back. Until a friend convinced me to try again. Apparently, AMP did some kind of updating because I’ve never had a leak in my newer AMPs. I love these diapers and have been eyeing the Paris print for a while. I also really like their bamboo inserts. I love the bold colors like burgundy, navy, and olive! Sounds like a pretty good diaper. I’ve never tried it but I like the fact that it sounds so trim. Seems like a good diaper, but I agree about the opening of the stuffing. love pocket diapers. haven’t used AMP yet, but they are on my short-list of wants! I haven’t tried AMP. Is the pocket opening in the front then? I’d like something that will be more trim with a prefold, maybe this is a good option. It’s in the front. I don’t think it’s going to make a difference with a prefold: I don’t find them to be terribly trim anyway. Wow! I’m new to the cloth-diapering world, but this was very informative! It’s nice to hear the downside, as well! Thank you for such a great review! Sounds like a good diaper. Love the colors. I like that the duo can be used as an all in two or a pocket. Also, so happy that the company is Canadian and the diapers are made in Canada! This diaper sounds great – I’ve never tried hemp and it sounds like this might be the way to go for the first hemp insert we try. yes, i have a bunch of AMPs. they’re actually made about an hour from me. great diapers. Thanks for the review on this brand. I was curious: Why do you prefer pocket

to All-in-Two? I’m interested in both so I was just wondering about your thoughts. My daughter has extremely sensitive skin. If you look at her funny, she basically gets a rash. Because of that, I prefer to use them as pockets so that there’s the wicking of the microfleece. I’m also not convinced that I won’t have to change the shell from it getting wet, anyway. Thank you for responding! Makes sense!! I have 4 of these diapers. I use them as pockets. I’ve had a few leaks with them, likely due to not stuffing them well or compression. I like the opening in the front, since I now get less poo all over the diaper. I have not tried the inserts yet…I’m crazy about bamboo right now, and want to replace all my microfiber, so I might consider hemp. I’ve been wanting to try AMP for a long time, I love the ruffles around the legs! Love the trimness factor! I’d love to try one of these diapers. I love the ai2 option! Sometimes I just don’t feel like stuffing a pocket diaper. I like that their are options on what the diaper will be stuffed with. I really like that it is well made and made in North America. I LOVE diapers that are created by mom’s who need something better than what’s out there, and this diaper is a good example of that. It also comes in some really awesome colors and such. Great review! good tip to check the stitching! Glad to hear that this diaper is great quality! Thanks for sharing this review! I’m glad to know that the diaper is so trim and made well. Love that you can use it as an AI2 or pocket. I have one lonely AMP diaper, and it’s one of the first ones I grab, because of the great fit and its trimness. The pocket opening is big enough that its placement doesn’t bug me too much, and hey at least it’s usually clear of the poop! I love hemp and definitely want to try these! They look so trim and comfy. I have never tried AMP Duo diapers before… I love that they can be used as a pocket or as an AI2. I also love all of the

I wouldn’t have to heart to do this. But it simply must be said – Tong Hua’s modern novel Secrets Hidden in Time is complete and utter crap. With three leads that I loathe to varying degrees (only male lead Lu Li Cheng is worthy of any positive impression from the reader), prose that is shockingly juvenile and discordant, and a story that made me barf up some of my lunch, this novel is best described as “I read it so you don’t have to.” I still want to watch the drama adaptation with Wallace Chung, Janine Chang, Jia Nai Liang, and Han Xi Ting, because the cast is ridiculously gorgeous and if the ending is changed, then perhaps I can endure this painful exercise in “first love”. When I was reading this novel, I was shocked at how bad it was, even more stunned that Tong Hua wrote it, and in the end I would have flung it across the room in disgust but for the fact that I was reading it on my iPad. If you’re curious what kind of story gets my druthers up this much, read on and find out. But before I get started, I just have to point out how apropos that the acronym for the English title of this book is SHIT. Seriously, I did not make that up. I’ll call it Secrets instead. Secrets is back to being written in the first person narrative, with the heroine Su Man (her English name is Freya, but she later pretends to be a girl named Amanda – played by Janine Chang) dropping us immediately into her life as a thirty-year old independent and successful white collar worker in the financial industry in Beijing. Society considers her on-the-shelf, though she’s not striving to recapture her youth but is instead relatively happy with her life which consists of her parents, her work, and her best friend Ma La Tang (the nickname means spicy soup, but her real name is Xu Ling Shuang – played by Han Xi Ting). The only thing Su Man has ever wanted in her entire life was a boy she crushed on back in high school and college, Song Yi (played by Jia Nai Liang). We’re subjected to paragraphs upon paragraphs about how he dazzled her innocent self with his splendor and charm, so much so she has never let the dream of him go. I was already headdesking by this

We’re subjected to paragraphs upon paragraphs about how he dazzled her innocent self with his splendor and charm, so much so she has never let the dream of him go. I was already headdesking by this

point, but let’s continue. In chapter 1, Su Man gets set up on yet another blind date by her parents. She reluctantly goes, but dressed like a crazy skanky ho just to be contrary and get that date ended fast. To her shock, her blind date turns out to be none other than Song Yi, who is back in Beijing after getting an MBA and working for a few years on Wall Street. Of course the date is a dud, but Su Man decides that fate has given her another chance by letting her meet the man of her dreams again. She decides to be brave this time and go get him. Apparently in Su Man’s wacky brain, that means quitting her job and faking her resume to get accepted to the same company Song Yi works for, solely to get close to him. At the same time, Su Man anonymously reconnects with Song Yi online at their college alum website forum and strike up a casual friendship. While Song Yi doesn’t know he’s been chatting online with the new girl Amanda working at his company, he also doesn’t know said girl knows everything about his life and is using it to get closer to him. Can we say…..stalker? On the other hand, we have the only decent character in this novel in the form of Lu Li Cheng (played by Wallace Chung), Song Yi’s rival and Su Man’s new boss at the company. Whereas Song Yi is outwardly kind and considerate towards everyone, Lu Li Cheng is instead cold and distant. Lu Li Cheng is the only one at that company who knows Su Man is not the so-called Amanda but is instead Freya, and has lied on her resume to get into the company. He agrees to keep quiet about it after she pleads with him, knowing that she’s doing all this to land Song Yi. But he’s not stupid, and the reason he lets this go is because Su Man is smart and good at her job, despite all the faking of the resume to get hired. The first half of the novel was all work place stuff where Su Man changes departments from Lu Li Cheng to working directly under Song Yi, and the two of them getting closer every evening when they chat online. The story takes a drastic step forward when Su Man needs to go on a business trip to NYC. Before she leaves, she reveals to Song Yi that she is his anonymous chatroom partner online, only to discover Song

So most people have been really concerned about that, if that's the case. And as long as you have bonds that are maturing each year, you are able to take advantage of. That reinvestment of the matured bonds at higher rates at the tail end of your ladder. So that's a great way to help build out a diversified approach of, you know, diversifying away that reinvestment risk. Yeah. The other way that they will classify bonds is terms of their. Quality. So what's the quality of the company that you're lending money to? I always think about this as the company's credit score. How good is their credit score? If it's higher than your interest rate's probably gonna be lower cuz they're more trustworthy, likely to pay you back that bond. If [00:14:00] they have a bad credit score, then same thing, they're probably gonna have a higher coupon, a higher interest rate. So we Call those high yield bonds. Those bonds that maybe have a lower. Credit score quality, a lot of times they'll pay out more. Or we have investment grade, which is usually higher quality, higher credit score rating. Companies very likely to pay you back. Probably gonna have a lower interest rate. I think these terms are terrible, by the way. Yeah. Investment grade like that doesn't really, That doesn't explain anything, doesn't it? I guess it means it's of enough quality that you could invest in it, I guess is what what it's saying, but, But investment grade means triple B and up Triple B. Single A, double A, triple A, that's working your way up from triple B, and then high yield is double B and down. The other term that's not quite as friendly for high yield is junk bonds. I always feel bad. Do you? I do. And they say junk bonds. Yeah. Maybe they don't care, but it's the consumer that stresses about it. That's what I would think. I would think someone would say junk [00:15:00] bond like I'm never gonna buy that, but maybe they still so true. Right? Because high yield sounds so fantastic, like give me that high yield. I want that high. And high yield and junk bonds. Same thing folks. Same like they're exactly the same thing. Investment grade sounds great, but it's almost like you could Call those low yield bonds too. Yeah, right. Because they

typiCally yield less moodies and standard and pores. Are two of the main issuers of indexes, like you hear about the s and p 500. That's from standard and pores, but they are, they are the rating agencies that, that provide those ratings. Now, you should not rely, if you're buying individual bonds, you should not rely on Moody's and, and standard and pores ratings. Like you can't just say, I'll buy anything that the standard and poor says is triple. because you may be buying something that that s and p says is triple B, but in reality it's probably single B because they may not have looked at it in the same way that an analyst would in more detail. Anyway, hopefully that gives you an idea. [00:16:00] Issuers, that's next. This changes things quite a bit. It can change your taxes too, which we'll talk about in a second. But the issuer is the borrower. It's the entity. So instead of a person, it's a thing, right? It's the entity that is borrowing your. So corporations borrow your money through bonds. Governments borrow your money, municipalities borrow your money, and agencies borrow your money. Now those last three are all pretty related and confusing. Think when you hear governments think like the US government, the federal government, and when you think of municipalities, think of like cities, maybe states. Then when you think about agencies, that's like the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, all of the agencies the government has created to help with either like student loans or. Home lending, like very, very specific agencies with a specific purpose. And in some cases the government [00:17:00] actually backs those, so that backing can create a little bit higher, higher rating as well. Corporations are the most different here than the other three because they're, they're not related to the government when it comes to issuers. They all have various risks, so you could have really risky corporations and really safe or more safe corporations. And the federal government is just basiCally, Pretty secure. I did a webinar yesterday and I can't remember what we talked about so far today and yesterday, what we talked about yesterday, , But the government is considered the lowest risk because they can just tax their way out of a problem. If they're having a hard time making payments, they can just tax their way to, or they can flood the

/US_NUCLEAR_MISSILE_TEST?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2016-02-27-07-40-01 So, it looks like some in the defense world believe that the 2021 and 2035 time period is critical. This suggests a perceived vulnerability to attack during those years. As far as the Minuteman program goes, the US military has been launching Minuteman missiles from Vandenberg for decades. According to something I heard on the radio yesterday, two were launched and tested this month. They test them to see how well they work, and apparently some US military officials have doubts about them, even after these recent tests. Here is some information on the history of the Minuteman missile: Development of the Minuteman began in the mid-1950s as the outgrowth of basic research into solid fuel rocket motors which indicated an ICBM based on solids was possible. … Minuteman entered service in 1962 as a weapon tasked primarily with the deterrence role, threatening Soviet cities with a counterattack if the US was attacked. … The Minuteman-II entered service in 1965 with a host of upgrades to improve its accuracy and survivability in the face of an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system the Soviets were known to be developing. Minuteman-III followed in 1970, using three smaller warheads instead of one large one, which made it very difficult to attack by an anti-ballistic missile system which would have to hit all three widely separated warheads to be effective. Peaking at 1000 missiles in the 1970s, the current US force consists of 450 Minuteman-III missiles in missile silos around Malmstrom AFB, Montana; Minot AFB, North Dakota; and F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming. By 2018 this will be reduced to 400 armed missiles, with 50 unarmed missiles in reserve, and four non-deployed test launchers to comply with the New START treaty. The Air Force plans to keep the missile in service until at least 2030. (LGM-30 Minuteman. Wikipedia, accessed 02/27/16) Much of the USA’s nuclear deterrent is aging. And the Minuteman is clearly one component that is. Many think that the military of the USA is too strong to ever be beat militarily.

well as what has been happening the past several years. A couple of years ago, the US Army announced that it would cut its forces to pre-World War II levels (US Army plans to shrink to pre-WWII levels). Several years ago, the US Air Force announced major cuts last year (Budget cuts to ground 1/3 of US Air Force); as did the US Navy (Pentagon concerned about additional looming defense cuts–prophetic ramifications?). About three years ago, the US Army removed all of it tanks from Germany (There are no longer USA tanks in Germany: Do Americans understand this is a serious risk?). This helps put the USA in a situation that it simply will not be able to effectively react if European forces attack. The Europeans are not comfortable standing by as the USA slowly diverts military protection away from them, while it also cuts the size of its military. The ‘social experiments’ happening in the US military are also another risk that many have overlooked (Sexual corruption at the US military academies). This is a risk that even with the ‘right’ equipment, those involved with it may not act as defense officials will want them to in a real military emergency–character counts. The current concern that defense officials have is money. The Obama Administration has ‘kicked the can’ down the road the past seven years, as I taught back in 2009 it would do: “Because of domestic economic concerns and international pressures, Barack Obama is shifting priorities away from defense spending… This will help lead to the destruction of the United States, when the Europeans are ready and the U.S.A. is not” (Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. Nazarene Books, 2009, p. 147). Here is something I posted on this page about two years ago: While the USA will do some modernization, it has so many political considerations (including economic) when it makes defense spending decisions that optimal defense capabilities are not always the top priority (often getting or keeping defense-related jobs in certain areas plays a major role). The essentially bankrupt USA cannot really afford to be on top militarily and its political system will likely contribute to it making the wrong decisions for its next major war. The USA’s recent focus on terrorism seems to have gotten it to overlook who its future enemies will be. Thus, the USA will likely modernize the wrong aspects of its defenses. (Thiel B. After

The green Jungle Burger has an oat and red kidney bean vegan patty made with seitan (vegetable protein), along with breadcrumbs and a combination of golden onions, red peppers, salt and sunflower oil. Burgers are enhanced by a variety of sauces, including wild sauce, which is similar to barbecue sauce, and magik sauce. The dairy-free cheddar “cheese” they include is made with coconut oil.

I enjoy their crisp Caesar salad with crunchy croutons and a light and flavorful dressing. HiHo burgers are normally served as doubles with one-third pound of beef, or triples with a half-pound of wagyu beef. They are topped with crisp lettuce, ketchup, house-made pickles, mustard, flavorful grilled onion jam and melted American cheese. HiHo also makes a gluten-free vegan patty from a blend of grains, legumes and spices. The fries are hand-cut thick and double fried making them extra crispy. Thick and creamy milkshakes are made from ice cream churned by a family-run creamery. $-$$ 4625 Admiralty Way, #109, (424) 317-7858.

born in the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine, but earned fame in London as a fashion model and performance artist. The centerpiece of his art was his transformed (and often disfigured) body. #### Contemporary Artists Contemporary gay and lesbian artists find Australia more hospitable than earlier artists did. Hence Australia is now home to a vital gay and lesbian artistic community. Some of the most interesting of the contemporary artists are discussed below, but the listing is necessarily highly selective. #### Deborah Kelly and Tina Fiveash The Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival in Sydney provides an annual forum for Australian artists to showcase their work. For the 2001 festival, writer/artist Deborah Kelly and photographer Tina Fiveash (b. 1970) collaborated to produce a series of six photographs entitled "Hey, hetero!" Beginning in February 2001, these photos appeared on illuminated public advertising spaces, billboards, magazine pages, street posters, and postcards. The "Hey, hetero!" series forces viewers to consider the hidden advantages of being straight. "Hey, hetero!" proclaims one photograph with a nuclear family picnicking in a park, "When they say family, they mean you!" Another, which features an infant lying on its back on a rug, is emblazoned with the statement: "Hey, hetero! Have a baby: no national debate." A third work encourages heterosexuals to get married "because you can!" Produced to look like slick, sophisticated advertisements, the "Hey, hetero!" photographs are unsettling, and even alarming. The viewer might become unbearably uncomfortable if not for the element of camp and humor incorporated into the works; the people in the photographs often display artificial poses and goofy grins that suggest that the works are spoofs, but the message is ultimately too serious to ignore. Since heterosexuality generally is understood as the "norm," it is never deconstructed, questioned, or challenged. By pointing it out, even advertising it, Kelly and Fiveash reveal that heterosexuality, like homosexuality, is socially constructed; it is its own culture, and its members share common beliefs, privileges, and fashion sensibilities. #### Timothy Horn In contrast to Kelly and Fiveash, who emphasize the constructedness of heterosexual society, Timothy Horn (b. 1964) sculpts magnificent objects that belong in a make-believe world. One of his most recent series includes works inspired by the Cinderella story (1999–2001). Crowns, brooches, a slipper,

One of his most recent series includes works inspired by the Cinderella story (1999–2001). Crowns, brooches, a slipper,

and other items are made from relatively common, inexpensive materials such as nickel-plated bronze, cast crystal, and Easter-egg foil. Lavish and beautiful, Horn's creations are also overthe- top and tacky. The artist accentuates the latter two qualities by giving his works trashy, lewd titles such as _Pink Bits_ , _Love Muscle_ , _Bearded Clam, I Want Candy_ , and _Boy Pussy_. His name for the sumptuous, downscaled carriage central to the Cinderella story is _Bump n_ _'_ _Grind_. This title emphasizes the crude, sexual aspect inherent in any romantic fantasy. Horn's works insult good taste. The artist deems his celebration of the fake and the ornamental a queer sensibility, and he calls his reinterpretation of the Cinderella myth a queer rewriting. Indeed, the flashy, glitzy, ridiculously feminine _Glass Slipper (Ugly Blister)_ could be part of a costume from an upscale drag show. While Horn's fashion accessories are for the brash, the shameless, and the proud, they are also for the outcast and the different. For example, a brooch titled _Big Girl_ incorporates the word "butch" above three teardrop pearls. The work could be a medal for a tormented outcast or a badge of honor for someone who is different. _Big Girl_ also raises issues related to gender construction. The word "butch" brings masculine associations to mind; yet jewelry is quintessentially feminine. The combination of these two elements reminds the viewer that identity is complex and unstable. Since the person who wears _Big Girl_ does not fit into accepted gender roles, the accuracy of these roles is called into question. #### Vanessa Buemi and Karen Coull Works by artists Vanessa Buemi and Karen Coull address these same issues, with a feminist spin. Both artists use handcrafted objects to explore stereotypes of femininity. Buemi's _Femme with Butch Tendencies_ , for example, consists of an exquisite length of crocheted pink yarn, to which steel crampons are attached. Similarly, a thorn-encrusted pillow by Karen Coull is designed to unsettle. A commonly held belief is that females are supposed to be soft, yielding, and manageable like a pillow; they are not supposed to harm others, or to be capable of violence and rage.

be defined by some people as simply cheating. But, as mentioned above, cuckolding isn’t someone sneaking behind the back of their boyfriend/husband and having a sexual or romantic relationship. It’s often something talked about by both people and agreed upon, making it an experience with one another rather than something negative. In an article published by The Independent entitled “Inside The World Of Cuckolding: A Cuckold Explains All,” one man described his and his wife’s experience with cuckolding. Generally speaking, it seems to have been positive. “It started as a fantasy, just thinking my wife might sleep with other men.” The first time it happened, Cornudo met her wife’s new lover both before the date and when they returned before going up to the bedroom – Cornudo listened in from another room. “It was one of the most erotic things i’ve ever experienced. Knowing someone was in the next room with my wife was even more exciting than I’d imagined,” he explains. “I don’t know why it excites me, it might be a submissive thing – maybe it’s the idea of another man taking what’s mine,” he suggests. “The thought of it before it ever happened excited me and it’s even better than I thought it would be.” In the example from The Independent, the man’s wife and him agreed that she can do anything she wants as long as she tells him about it. It’s why she’s been on dating apps and has gone out having sex with other men, which, as he stated, is an “exciting” thought for him. He also mentioned that their relationship has never been stronger. How possible is it to hold back jealousy when cuckolding? Like all sexual fantasies or acts, cuckolding isn’t for everyone. If one or both partners have any feelings of insecurity about having their significant other sleeping around, it can’t work out the way it’s intended to. That’s not to say cuckolding should be something that every couple even discusses, but, given how popular it has become, it may be something you and your girlfriend/wife are both thinking about already, you just don’t know how to bring it up without feeling ashamed.

That’s not to say cuckolding should be something that every couple even discusses, but, given how popular it has become, it may be something you and your girlfriend/wife are both thinking about already, you just don’t know how to bring it up without feeling ashamed.

According to a CNN article about cuckolding, the social stigma around the topic seems to have faded a bit in recent years. That’s from author David Ley — who wrote the book “Insatiable Wives”, which examines cuckolding in heterosexual relationships. “This fantasy has been around as long as marriage and sexuality. But we’re hearing more and more about it these days, and more people are rejecting the social stigma against this fantasy.” Furthermore, that same CNN piece mentioned just how popular cuckolding is becoming, as one survey referenced in that article showed that, of thousands of Americans surveyed, 58 percent of men and about one-third of women had fantasized about cuckolding. And cuckolding can actually positively impact relationships? Yep, according to the CNN piece, cuckolding can actually be a good thing for relationships — but it does have some contributing factors. According to that research shown in that article, David Ley said he found that, when a relationship has “honesty, integrity, communication, mutuality and shared values,” cuckolding might end up being a positive thing for the overal relationship. “Overall, our research found that for the most part, cuckolding tends to be a positive fantasy and behavior,” said Ley. “It doesn’t appear to be evidence of disturbance, of an unhealthy relationship, or of disregard for one’s partner.” But there’s an important caveat, added Lehmiller. “We found several personality factors that predict more positive experiences acting on cuckolding fantasies. For those who have a lot of relationship anxiety or abandonment issues, who lack intimacy and communication, and who aren’t careful, detail-oriented planners, acting on a consensual non-monogamy fantasy could very well be a negative experience,” he said. “In other words, not everyone who has a cuckolding fantasy should think about acting on it.” Naturally, jumping into the deep end when just starting a cuckolding relationship isn’t suggested. Things should go slow and both people in the relationship should be honest and open about any sexual desires, so not to lead to confusion. But, when done properly, cuckolding can lead to a positive impact, which is something many people may not have ever imagined. BDSMcuckoldingdatingdating tipsrelationshipssexsex tips
