[ null, "Google’s Messages app might have a clean user interface, but it lacks core SMS management features in comparison with other SMS apps on Android. One aspect where Google Messages app falls behind is in the way it handles OTPs and the company is finally working on a feasible solution to fix it. As reported by XDA Developers, Google Messages is preparing an option to automatically delete OTPs after 24 hours.\n\nGoogle’s new approach to handle OTPs might be more convenient than it seems. Typically, OTPs are useless once it expires and there is no key reason to hold on to them. By switching the OTP auto-delete toggle, you should, at least in theory, get a better and decluttered SMS Inbox.\n\nThe changes were spotted in Google Messages v6.7.067 app’s code. The feature is not live as of this writing. Going by the report, there will be an option titled ‘Auto-delete OTPs after 24hrs’ in the app’s settings. Since this is likely to be a toggle rather than a default behavior, users will probably have the option to opt-out if they would like to retain their OTPs.\n\nUnfortunately, we are not quite sure when Google is planning to roll out this new OTP auto-delete feature. The feature has the potential to improve the user experience for those who use Google Messages, so we could expect the software giant to release it soon. If you’re interested to be one of the first users to try this feature out, you should consider enrolling in Google Messages app’s Play Store beta program." ]

[ null, "“On one occasion, so it was narrated, Stalin called for a live chicken and proceeded to use it to make an unforgettable point before some of his henchmen. Forcefully clutching the chicken in one hand, with the other he began to systematically pluck out its feathers. As the chicken struggled in vain to escape, he continued with the painful denuding until the bird was completely stripped. ‘Now you watch,’ Stalin said as he placed the chicken on the floor and walked away with some breadcrumbs in his hand. Incredibly, the fear-crazed chicken hobbled toward him and clung to the legs of his trousers. Stalin threw a handful of grain to the bird, and it began to follow him around the room, he turned to his dumbfounded colleagues and said quietly, ‘This is the way to rule the people.’” — Ravi Zacharias, Can Man Live Without God\n\nThe tendency of power—in the sociological sense of status, influence, authority and control—is to seek to extend itself over time, if possible indefinitely, by whatever means necessary. The question of benevolence and malevolence is secondary—even irrelevant—to this tendency, since everyone from Satan on down believes in the goodness of his or her motivations and whatever motivates us is ipso facto “good,” and vice versa. What is relevant is the means power employs to extend itself, and the ways in which this may be observable in our culture, society, and, most importantly, our personal lives.\n\nAdvertising and economic expansion provide a fairly good template, I think, for mapping these means. In the case of advertising, perception management and behavior modification are primary both as ends and means, since to manage perception is to modify behavior, and vice versa. The goals of any given psychological operation may change according to the agencies creating them; but it’s my impression that the methodologies remain fairly constant.\n\nWe all know (or think we do) that corporations and their algorithms manipulate our perceptions in order to influence our decisions (what we buy, consume, watch, “like,” or recommend to others). Through means subtle and coarse, corporations work day and night to exploit our values as a means to sell their products to us. At the same time, in a circular fashion, they design and direct their products to shape and mold our values, to make those values, and by extension us, more easily exploitable. The aim, however, is always the same: to get us “on-side.”\n\nAs above so below: as corporations operate, so do governments, military, intelligence, educational, legal, medical, and all other institutions. The higher up the sociocultural strata we go, the less easily identifiable the products become: a candidate, an administration, a policy, an ideology, a culture, these can all be seen—to one degree or another—as products, manufactured carriers of values that are themselves carried by the values we already possess—or are possessed by. All these things act as delivery devices to inject both our inner and outer worlds with their contents. One way or another, they in-form us.\n\nIn order for a ruling class or body to maintain and increase its power and influence in the world, it has to persuade ever larger numbers of people to depend on it. Love and worship are optimal attitudes, but where these cannot be inspired, fear and subjugation will do, as demonstrated by the afore-cited anecdote about Stalin and the chicken.", null, "Once upon a time, the “psyop” or psychological operation was the stuff of “conspiracy theory;” now (surely) it is the stuff of history, even if still mostly relegated to the media margins and the footnotes of official history. What follows are some passages taken from U.S. military Field Manual, FM 3-05.30 MCRP 3-40.6, dated April 2005, “Psychological Operations” (emphasis added).\n\nPSYOP are a vital part of the broad range of United States (U.S.) diplomatic, informational, military, and economic (DIME) activities. The employment of any element of national power, particularly the military element, has always had a psychological dimension. Foreign perceptions of U.S. military capabilities are fundamental to strategic deterrence. The effectiveness of deterrence hinges on U.S. ability to influence the perceptions of others. The purpose of PSYOP is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to U.S. national objectives. PSYOP are characteristically delivered as information for effect, used during peacetime and conflict, to inform and influence. (p. 1-1)\n\nThis underscores the essentiality of psyop to government and military maintenance of power. Keep in mind that, while the emphasis on foreign target audiences implies that psyop are not implemented domestically, this is almost certainly a misrepresentation of truth because of the classified nature of domestic psyop.\n\nThe mission of PSYOP is to influence the behavior of foreign target audiences (TAs) to support U.S. national objectives. PSYOP accomplish this by conveying selected information and/or advising on actions that influence the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign audiences. Behavioral change is at the root of the PSYOP mission. Although concerned with the mental processes of the TA, it is the observable modification of TA behavior that determines the mission success of PSYOP. . . . PSYOP help shape both the physical and informational dimensions of the battlespace. (p. 1-2)", null, "Once again, to manage perception is to modify behavior. In a certain sense, influencing a Target Audience’s psychology is secondary to the shaping of their behavior, but in another sense it is primary, since the only means to change behavior is by altering perceptions. On the other hand, the only way to confirm that perception has been successfully managed is by observing the effective modification of behaviors. Psychological operations proceed on the understanding that, not just human society but awareness itself (informational dimensions), is a battlespace.\n\nEven as one plan is about to be executed, planners are turning their attention to the next anticipated operation. Flexibility, adaptability, and adjustment are critical to all planning. The importance of adjusting PSYOP plans and series in response to events in the battlespace cannot be overemphasized. PSYOP planners must be agile to be successful in an environment that has simultaneous and competing requirements to plan for an event that is in itself an ongoing process. At any given moment, PSYOP forces may be disseminating messages while military forces are executing a PSYACT in support of PSYOP objectives. (5-1)\n\nThis passage points to the necessity of constant improvisation within the field. It indicates how, as a Target Audience’s perception of reality is altered via manufactured “messages,” their behaviors will also change in ways that can’t be predicted with 100% accuracy by the controlling forces. Since, presumably, there is no clear dividing line between passive media manipulation and that of live-action theater (in which psychological operatives interact more directly with Target Audiences), to some degree, the Target Audience is itself shaping the nature of the psyop by forcing it to adapt to the very changes it is bringing about. In marketing, this is similar to the old “supply and demand” question, a mutually reinforcing feedback loop in which the one is constantly creating and augmenting the other.\n\n“Most PSYOP activities and accomplishments in Panama were hardly noticed by either the U.S. public or the general military community. But the special operations community did notice. The lessons learned in Panama were incorporated into standing operating procedures. . . . Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM employed PSYOP of an order of magnitude and effectiveness which many credit to the lessons learned from Panama.” USSOCOM Report, “Psychological Operations in Panama during Operations JUST CAUSE and PROMOTE LIBERTY,” March 1994. (5-1)\n\nThis passage is self-explanatory and conveys how every psyop serves not only to manipulate a Target Audience but also as a form of field-testing for psychological operatives to learn from and pass information back and forth, thereby improving their skills and methods and becoming ever more “operational.” Another way of stating this might be to say that, with each effective psyop, the battlespace of human society and human awareness is becoming ever more “secured.”\n\nAs one of the five core elements, PSYOP integrate their activities with those of electronic warfare (EW), military deception, OPSEC [operations security], and computer network operations to create a synergistic effect. PSYOP serve as a focal point for persuasion and influence strategy. PSYOP forces facilitate targeting by analyzing the various factors that affect and influence the behavior of an adversary, such as religion, ethnicity, economics, politics, culture, region, history, leadership, geography, demographics, and national interests. They use this analysis to nominate targets in order to change the behavior of TAs in order to deter conflict (whenever possible), facilitate military operations, and to support and communicate national objectives. (7-4)", null, "This passage indicates the wide range both of technological means and of target audiences, and suggests that not merely populations but entire “disciplines” (i.e., fields of human interest and endeavor) can be “weaponized.” One way to better understand this might again be to compare it to more coarse forms of marketing, such as “product placement” when a movie or TV show is used to “sell” specific products to an audience without it consciously noticing or remembering. In this far subtler form, areas of human interest such as religion, economics, and the arts can be employed (reshaped) as carriers for the desired messages or ideologies.\n\nMedia analysis is the structured, deliberate tracking and analysis of opponent and neutral media (TV, radio, Internet, and print). Properly performed media analysis, although time-consuming and linguist-intensive, can identify trends and become predictive when the supported force considers a potentially unpopular activity. To be truly effective, media analysis must be conducted on a daily basis. PSYOP units usually do not have the organic personnel sufficient to accomplish this task. The TAAD [Target Audience Analysis Detachment] of the PDC [product development company] is best suited for conducting media analysis. (8-5)\n\nMedia analysis, like everything else when it comes to military application, has an active as well as passive aspect. Nothing the military incentive undertakes (and this would include not only the entire intelligence, legal, and police community but also to a degree the entire corporate world) is done so without the aim of aggressive application. To analyze media is to understand how to manipulate media; ditto with human psychology, religion, science, and so forth. Central to this “will to power,” this bid for total control, is the (equally militaristic) mindset of opposition: everything gravitates around the idea of a hostile other that must be dominated, pacified, or eradicated, by any and all means necessary.\n\nCuriously, however, the means to accomplish this requires a constant reinforcement of the idea of an “opposition”—along with the whole-cloth invention of designated (and usually controlled) oppositions. This suggests that the split which psyop is constantly attempting to generate—both within society and human awareness—is a projection of a split within the psychological operatives themselves.\n\nIt is a veritable wound that never heals.", null, "22 thoughts on “The Reign of the Fissure Kings, or: “Psyops ‘R’ Us” (Psychological Operatives in Hollywood # 6a)”" ]

[ null, "Aww, geez. It looks like I’m having such a tough time telling where the Loonie’s headed because my latest trades didn’t work out too well.\n\nEven though Canada’s foreign securities purchases slumped in the same month, the Loonie didn’t slide down after the report since the US churned out a bunch of stronger than expected figures. By the looks of things, this seemed enough for investors to start risk-taking again. Because of that, CADJPY busted through the trend line I drew so I figured it might be best to just cut losses.\n\nNot such a good day for me then… I hope I catch a better trade opportunity this week. After all, it’s only Tuesday!", null, "I’m trying my luck with the Loonie again. I may have gotten burned on my recent Loonie trade because of weak Canadian data so this time, I’m gonna go short! Oh, I’m looking to play a cross pair too since the setup on CADJPY is too yummy to pass up. Hopefully, this works out.\n\nI got too giddy when I saw the resistance on the 0.5 Fib level hold and the pair close below the 82.00 handle. What made this trade even sweeter were the falling trend line and stochastics crossover at the overbought territory which confirmed that hidden bearish divergence. See that? Price is making lower highs but stochastics is making higher highs. So I entered at market and I priced in at 81.95. Yahoo!\n\nI’m hoping that resistance at psychological handle and the Fib levels will hold but just in case they don’t I placed my stop loss just above the previous highs at 83.30.\n\nI have two profit targets for this trade. First I’ll be aiming for the pair’s previous lows at 81.00 then I’ll be targeting the psychological 80.00 handle. Yeah, I know it seems such a long shot but who knows, little ol’ me might get lucky!\n\nLater on, Canada has a couple of economic reports due and both are expected to post weaker results compared to the previous months. Foreign securities purchases are projected to slide from 23.16 billion CAD in May to 9.42 billion CAD in June, reflecting how demand for Canadian securities waned during the month.\n\nAside from that, Canada could report a 0.4% decline in manufacturing sales for June, erasing the 0.4% gain in the previous month. If the actual figure comes in negative, it would mark the indicator’s first decline in ten months. Yipes! Bad for the Loonie but good for my short trade!\n\nMeanwhile, the Japanese yen has been enjoying quite a nice run since investors are shying away from riskier assets. In terms of economic reports, the coast is clear for Japan for the next couple of days. Unless the risk appetite switch suddenly gets flicked back on, the yen could keep strengthening against its counterparts.\n\nHere’s what I’ve cooked up:\n\nWish me luck and don’t forget to hit me up on MeetPips.com! Rest assured, I’ll be watching out for the actual results of the reports from Canada so I can make the necessary adjustments on my trade. Stay tuned!" ]

[ null, "Gabon, officially the Gabonese Republic, is a country on the west coast of Central Africa. Located on the equator, Gabon is bordered by Equatorial Guinea to the northwest, Cameroon to the north, the Republic of the Congo on the east and south, and the Gulf of Guinea to the west. It has an area of nearly 270,000 square kilometres (100,000 sq mi) and its population is estimated at 2 million people. Its capital and largest city is Libreville.", null, "The provinces of Gabon are divided into forty-nine departments. The departments are listed below, by province :\n\nLittle is known of the history of Gabon prior to European contact. Bantu migrants settled the area beginning in the 14th century. Portuguese explorers and traders arrived in the area in the late 15th century. The coast subsequently became a center of the slave trade with Dutch, English, and French traders arriving in the 16th century. In 1839 and 1841, France established a protectorate over the coast.\n\nPolitics of Gabon takes place in a framework of a republic whereby the President of Gabon is head of state and in effect, also the head of government, since he appoints the prime minister and his cabinet. The government is divided into three branches: the Executive (headed by the prime minister, the legislative that is formed by the two chambers of parliament. The judicial branch, like other two branches, is technically independent and equal to other three branches, although in practice, since its judges are appointed by the president, it is beholden to the same president. Since independence the party system is dominated by the conservative Gabonese Democratic Party.\n\nGabon has followed a non-aligned policy, advocating dialogue in international affairs and recognizing both parts of divided countries. Since 1973, the number of countries establishing diplomatic relations with Gabon has doubled. In inter-African affairs, Gabon espouses development by evolution rather than revolution and favors regulated free enterprise as the system most likely to promote rapid economic growth. Concerned about stability in Central Africa and the potential for intervention, Gabon has been directly involved with mediation efforts in Chad, Central African Republic, Republic of Congo, Angola, and former Zaire. In December 1999, through the mediation efforts of President Bongo, a peace accord was signed in the Republic of Congo between the government and most leaders of an armed rebellion. President Bongo has remained involved in the continuing Congolese peace process. Gabon has been a strong proponent of regional stability, and Gabonese armed forces played an important role in the UN Peacekeeping Mission to the Central African Republic (MINURCA).\n\nLibreville is the capital and largest city of Gabon, in western central Africa. The city is a port on the Komo River, near the Gulf of Guinea, and a trade center for a timber region. As of 2013, its census population was 703,904.\n\nThe French Congo was the original French colony established in the present-day area of the Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and the Central African Republic. It began in 1880 as a protectorate, and its borders with Cabinda, Cameroons, and the Congo Free State were established by treaties over the next decade. French Congo was temporarily divided between Gabon and Middle Congo in 1906, before being reunited as French Equatorial Africa in 1910 in an attempt to copy the relative success of French West Africa.\n\nPlateaux is a department of the Republic of the Congo in the central part of the country. It borders the departments of Cuvette, Lékoumou, and Pool, and internationally, the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the east and Gabon on the west. The regional capital is Djambala. Principal cities and towns include Gamboma and Lekana.\n\nThe Gabon national football team, nicknamed Les Panthères or Les Brésiliens, is the national team of Gabon and is controlled by the Gabonese Football Federation. They have never qualified for the World Cup, but have qualified seven times for the Africa Cup of Nations.", null, null, "Haut-Ogooué is the southeastern-most of Gabon's nine provinces.

It is the historical home of three cultures, the Obamba, Ndzabi and Téké. Like many regions in Africa, more traditional uses of the land have given way to rural migration to the larger cities. In August 2006, its soccer club won the Gabon Independence Cup.", null, "Woleu-Ntem is the northernmost of Gabon's nine provinces.

It is endowed with the right to elect its own clergy, except archbishops.\n\nElections to the French National Assembly were held in Gabon and Moyen Congo as part of the wider French elections election on 10 November 1946.\n\nEstuaire is the most populous of Gabon's nine provinces. It covers an area of 20,740 km². The provincial capital is Libreville, which is also Gabon's national capital. The province is named for the Gabon Estuary, which lies at the heart of the province.\n\nGabon is situated at the northwestern margin of the Congo Craton—a region of stable, ancient crust—and preserves very ancient rock units across 75% of the country, with overlying sedimentary units from the Cretaceous and other more recent periods." ]

[ null, "To produce its 333, Ecar needs to find a buyer willing to invest at least another 600 000 euros /Ecar\n\nEcar Belgian Green Vehicle, the Walloon company based in Liège that was to launch the Ecar 333, a Belgian three-wheeled electric car it presented on the Brussels Motor Show in 2017, has filed for bankruptcy. According to founder Xavier Van der Stappen, its production partner Carwall going down with Caterpillar leaving Belgium finished off the Ecar.\n\nAttempts by Van der Stappen and Carwall to get additional support from the Walloon Government and find a transferee willing to put the 600 000 euros on the table to get the Ecar homologated and ready for production failed. The bankruptcy trustee will now try to find a buyer.\n\nEcar was founded in 2015 by Walloon entrepreneur Xavier Van der Stappen and the then CEO of the Zolder Race Circuit, Thierry Deflandre. The Ecar 333 prototype was presented in 2017 as a battery-electric three-wheeler with three seats.\n\nDelivering from 15 kW to 22 kW of power with its electromotor out of a 16 kWh or 32 kWh battery, the vehicle was meant to have a range of 150 or 300 km. The top speed was 130 km/hour. Next to the three-seater, a two-seater ‘roadster’ and a one-seater ‘cargo’ version were envisioned.\n\nVan der Stappen explained in 2017 that he wanted to sign 50 purchase orders and achieve a production of 500 vehicles in 2020. However, it could never be materialized. Already in November 2019, it was clear the moment of truth was nearing.\n\nHe told the financial newspaper L’Echo that he preferred to sell cars directly, especially to local authorities. Because selling to private individuals involves a lot of costs, both commercially as in after-sales. Van der Stappen, therefore, wondered what the Walloon policy would be about the replacement of its combustion vehicles.\n\nAccording to Xavier Van der Stappen, the prototype was already 80% approved. As it is not legally considered a car, it doesn’t have to pass crash tests. Most of the vehicle’s components were said to have already been approved. Then €400 000 was mentioned needed to finalize the project.\n\nBy then, Deflandre had left the Board at Ecar Belgian Green Vehicle a few months earlier. The latter had moved in 2016 to the Belgian electric car-sharing company Zen Car as President of the Board. A company that finally had to file for bankruptcy in September 2020.\n\nSince 2018, Ecar had been working at Carwall in Sombreffe. This company manufactured cabins for civil engineering machinery and was a major subcontractor for American giant Caterpillar in Gosselies. When the latter closed down its factory in Belgium, Carwall, which was supposed to lead the industrialization process of the Ecar, got in trouble too.", null, null ]

He had been retired since 2008.\nA second-generation journalist and native of Australia, Dunleavy quit school at 14 and began working as a copy boy at The Sun, a Sydney tabloid that employed his dad as a photographer.\nDunleavy left Australia for a job with the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, then freelanced his way across Asia and Europe before winding up in London, working on the city’s Fleet Street for the United Press International wire service.\nHe later set off overseas and reached New York City in 1966 where he filed dispatches for newspapers in the United Kingdom until he took a job at the New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch.\n\nHe was a pioneer of tabloid TV, and gained fame on the mid-1980s syndicated show, “A Current Affair.”\n\nAt the Post, Dunleavy was famed for standing up for the city’s cops and firefighters. His columns staunchly defended three cops involved in the horrific stationhouse assault of Abner Louima in 1997, which landed one cop a 30-year prison sentence. Over the course of his epic career, Dunleavy scored countless exclusives, including interviews with the mother of Sirhan Sirhan, Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin, and confessed “Boston Strangler” Albert DeSalvo. The rapist also posed in the nude for Dunleavy, who had smuggled a camera into prison for the story.\n\nIn 2017, he was inducted into the Australian Media Hall of Fame, which lauded his “rambunctious, swashbuckling and hard-drinking career” and said he “earned the term ‘legendary reporter’ through his whatever-it-takes, larger-than-life approach to journalism.”\n\nSteven Dunleavy is survived by his wife, Gloria, and their sons, Peter and Sean.\n\nGloria Dunleavy is actually his second wife, Dunleavy was previously married to Yvonne Dunleavy, a fellow Australian journalist.\nGloria married Dunleavy in March, 1971, after having met him a few months earlier at a bar named Costello’s.

[ "World Music Day (La Fête de la Musique), a free “Make Music Day” type of festival celebrated especially in France’s streets on Midsummer Day every year, has inspired us to look for the biggest and loudest, the most renowned and most sophisticated summer festivals around the globe.\n\nNo matter if you prefer classical or early music, pop and rock or jazz — perhaps this post helps inspire some spontaneous folks to change their vacation schedule for the next few months and enjoy what is magic beyond all else: music.", null, "For Traditionalists: The Salzburg Summer Festival\n\nIf you adore classical composers, particularly Mozart, there’s no way around attending the world’s most important festival for classical music at least once in your lifetime. Hosted annually by the picturesque Austrian city in July and August, it offers a variety of events from opera to concerts to stage plays.\n\nTraditionally, the festival has often focused on operas by Mozart, Salzburg’s most famous son, as well as Richard Strauss. Though Mozart is still featured prominently in the matinée concerts and the obligatory performance of his Great Mass in C Minor, the festival organizers have apparently discovered their love of Baroque: in 2017, all of Claudio Monteverdi’s surviving operas will take center stage.\n\nYou prefer the spoken word to the most harmonious tune? The open-air performance of Everyman, a 20th-century take on medieval mystery and morality plays, might be worth watching. Although the allegory of the rich and selfish man saved by faith and mercy has a simple, almost naïve plot, the monumental backdrop of Salzburg Cathedral will send a shiver down the spine of even the most cynical theatergoer.", null, "If you think that the Salzburg Summer Festival should always highlight Monteverdi rather than Mozart, you might want to head to York from 7 July to 15 July. This English arts festival avoids such new-fangled composers as Beethoven or Brahms, let alone Ravel or Rachmaninoff. Instead, the venues all across town — including the glorious York Minster with its ornate stained glass windows — are mainly devoted to music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras.\n\nThis year, the festival program for the 40th anniversary includes a wide selection of period pieces, from Bach concerts to madrigals for viol and lute, from sacred choral arrangements from 15th-century Italy to worldly music from Baroque Venice.\n\nI must admit that I’d personally have a very, very hard time to distinguish between Palestrina and Poulenc, but there’s one concert I’d dearly like to attend: in honor of the festival’s 40th birthday, they will be performing Thomas Tallis’ “Spem in Alium”, a polyphonic piece for 40 (!) different voice. Even a more or less tone-deaf person like me has almost been moved to tears by its harmonies.", null, "For the Young and Young at Heart: Lollapalooza\n\nI’ve noticed recently that I must be getting on in years: “glamping” (the upscale version of tent-living) sounds more attractive to me than camping. No longer do I long for the days when my parents finally allowed me to go off with friends to a festival and spend an entire weekend sunburned, dehydrated, hyperactive, sleep-deprived, mud-stained, and with ringing ears.\n\nWait — this sounds exactly like your idea of fun? Then you’ve got no time to lose! The famous Lollapalooza Festival has by now expanded from its original Chicago location to five different countries around the world. While the 2017 spring/autumn tours in the Southern Hemisphere — Argentina, Brazil, and Chile — are already a thing of the past, the summer concerts in Paris (22–23 July) and the US (3–6 August) still lie ahead.\n\nYou probably can’t make it and suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) on the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Lana del Rey, Muse or Tegan and Sara? Then September is your last chance. Berlin’s main acts — The Foo Fighters and Mumford & Sons — might even lure me to the stage in Hoppegarden. Provided the area has some space for comfy “glamping” vans.", null, "If you can afford to head off to Canada on very short notice, lovers of all things jazz should make sure to touch down in Montréal next week. From 28 June to 8 July, the capital of Québec will host its tribute to this highly versatile genre for the 38th time.\n\nGood news for those who have splurged on a plane ticket: plenty of the 600-odd concerts are free, giving lesser-known artists the chance to perform for the large festival audience. The wide range of acts isn’t only pretty numerous, but also highly diverse in style: a tribute to Miles Davis by a veteran trumpeter; a wild electro swing group; retro-Latin-classic-pop-jazz orchestra Pink Martini; fun jazz lessons for the younger audience members, or the “flamenco meets salsa meets Arab influences meets reggae meets Western pop” world music sounds of the Gipsy Kings…\n\nAll those music fans who are also movie buffs will appreciate the chance of watching recent hit musical La La Land accompanied by a live symphony orchestra or attending a sneak preview of Django, a biopic of legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. And let’s not forget that Montréal’s vibrant nightlife is just as much the stuff of legend as the stars of 100 years of jazz history.", null, "Save the Date! Secret Solstice Festival\n\nDespite its name, the 2017 edition of the Secret Solstice Festival was over even before Midsummer Day. But if you are longing to experience international as well as Icelandic rock and pop acts in the glare of the midnight sun, you should be looking forward to a trip to Iceland next June.\n\nWhere else could you listen to the big stars in Valhall (one of the larger stages) and go to an after-party in Hel(l) (the venue for some post-festival fun)?

A little more pressure should be put on the Pakistani army because they are the ones who are actually behind the whole terrorism business.”\n\nHooda further said that the amount of pressure India has put on Pakistan till now has not been consistent.\n\n“You have one cross border operation and nothing sort of changes.

How did they create what appears to be a sophisticated IED? Were all the procedures in place to ensure that civilian vehicles don’t intermingle with CRPF convoys?

He is a gifted musician, known for his proficiency at playing the violin, the oud and the qanun. The young Saudi talent also has an aspiration: to establish, with the government’s help, a music school in his coastal hometown so he can teach others to play and allow more young Saudis like him to realize their potential.\n\nIn the absence of specialist academies and music in the Kingdom’s national curriculum, most Saudi musicians are self-taught, relying on platforms like YouTube to pick up the basics. Others look to friends or family for private lessons, limiting their scope for development. But with the country’s social-reforms programs taking hold, this is beginning to change.\n\nYaseen, the youngest of six, has been interested in music since the age of eight when he first fell in love with string instruments. “I was raised among musicians,” Yaseen told Arab News. “My older brother, who played the qanun, and my father, who was one of the musical pioneers here and played Yanbu’s local instrument — the simsimiyya — are musicians and both of them gave me the passion to play. This is how I started.”\n\nBorn and raised in Yanbu, Yaseen attended his local university before realizing his true calling lay in music. After learning to play the simsimiyya, a traditional lyre instrument, he discovered his passion for the violin.\n\nFollowing a few rudimentary lessons from his father and brother, Yaseen spent the next decade mastering the instrument at home. He was largely self-taught — until an unmissable opportunity to study abroad presented itself.\n\nOpportunities to study and perform music in Saudi Arabia were limited until fairly recently. Now the Ministry of Culture has started issuing licenses for the Kingdom’s first musical training institutes. Once it begins accepting online applications in the coming months, a vibrant domestic music industry is sure to follow.\n\nThe liberalization of music culture is part of a broader effort to promote the entertainment and leisure sectors in Saudi Arabia, aimed at creating jobs and weaning the country off its economic dependence on oil, while also sharing its homegrown talents with the world.\n\nNow Yaseen is seeking support from the Saudi government to establish his own music academy in Yanbu, offering classes in the gamut of instruments to students of all ages.\n\n“We don’t have that yet, but I really hope we will achieve it,” he said. “For now, I provide private classes to my friends, the youth and children who are interested in learning the violin and the oud.”\n\nAs a Saudi whose training in Egypt enabled him to reach standards of musicianship that most people can only aspire to, Yaseen hopes the Ministry of Culture will heed his call.\n\n“We have to go through many processes. There’s a lot of bureaucracy. But there’s a lot of demand from young Saudis who want to play instruments, and I receive many requests daily from both men and women,” he said.\n\n“It’s a passion for them too and they want me to teach them, but I don’t have a place that is large enough to teach everyone. I just want to help others in their musical journey because it’s enjoyable for me.”\n\nMusic in the Kingdom\n\n* The institutes will offer cultural and artistic training programs.\n\n* Licenses to be granted for theater, music, literature, publishing, translation and museums.\n\n* Licenses for music practitioners will cover musicians, acoustics and production.\n\nSome of Yaseen’s earliest musical inspiration came from Egyptian singer and actress Umm Kulthum, one of the best-selling Middle Eastern artists of all time, whose songs he set to the violin. “They’re not easy to play by a young person like myself,” Yaseen said.\n\nHowever, it was Yanbu’s distinctive culture that truly captured his imagination.\n\n“We have traditional music here, which includes special songs for locals, describing their life, from the old generation to the young generation. And from that, I created a new genre on my own,” he said.\n\nEven as his musical proficiency grew under Dagher’s mentorship, Yaseen never lost sight of these early influences. Progressing in leaps and bounds, he soon graduated from Helwan University’s Faculty of Music Education in Cairo with an outstanding grade.\n\nHe still feels a deep debt of gratitude to his teacher. “I feel very grateful to him,” Yaseen said. “He is the main reason I am where I am today. We are still in touch. We talk regularly and we still have a strong friendship.”\n\nReturning to his home city three years ago, Yaseen quickly made a name for himself. Agencies were getting in touch with him with requests for appearances in Jeddah and Riyadh. Before long, he had a certain amount of name recognition thanks to clips of his performances shared on social media.\n\nIn 2019, Yaseen received a reward from famed Saudi singer and composer Abadi Al-Johar for an outstanding solo performance in Dammam. A year later, he received an award from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Riyadh for his rendition of the Saudi national anthem.\n\n“Music is like therapy for me,” Yaseen said. “My favorite moments are spent playing music. It relaxes me. Music is my soulmate and I feel well when I play the violin or any other instruments. I spend most of my day playing it.”\n\nThus, when the coronavirus pandemic forced the closure of concert venues across the region last year, Yaseen was grateful for the free time to practice at home.\n\n“The lockdown was great for me because I didn’t feel it,” he said. “Music gives me a sense of freedom that no lockdown can ever take away.”\n\nYaseen nevertheless hopes someday to perform internationally. “I want to be the first Saudi who represents Saudi Arabia as a violinist in the world,” he said. “I fell in love with the instrument, which is why I dedicated my life to it.”\n\nHe hopes other young Saudis will pursue their musical ambitions, no matter how daunting the challenges.\n\n“I encourage them to learn music and to keep going because there are no music academies so far. We need to help each other as much as we can,” Yaseen told Arab News.\n\n“For all young Saudis who want to pursue their passion in music or play an instrument, I would tell them to not give up because I’ve already seen many of my friends give up. Keep pursuing your goals and passion, and always expect good things. It’s important not to put yourself down when you’re on this journey and believe you will move forward.”\n\nYaseen is especially grateful for Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 reform plan, which has made it a national priority to support the Kingdom’s youth and promote the arts and culture. The importance of the ongoing social and cultural changes became especially obvious to him during the pandemic.\n\n“Everything is changing in the new Saudi Arabia. It’s not as we have known it before. It’s changing for the better and I’m happy to see all these shifts,” he said.\n\n“I just hope the government will answer my call to support a large, dedicated music education center and the teachers needed for people to learn.\n\n“I have so many ideas that are ready to be implemented. I want to get the ball rolling as soon as possible.”", null, null ]

The cylindrical auroral beam is subject to vortex formation, known as 'diocotron instabilities.' Historically, vortex structure and vortex interactions in charged particle beams have been known since the turn of the 19th century when Kristian Birkeland first photographed the passage of particle beams through low vacuum in his terrella cathode experiments. Neighbouring vortices are subject to long-range attractive and short-range repulsive forces, which result in a departure of the discharge pattern from a circle to a polygon.\n\nThe diocotron instabilities in the inner current cylinder are forcing the cloud pattern to form the distinctive hexagonal shape. The polar hot spot is heated by the Birkeland current discharge in the core of the Z-pinch. - 2008—Year of the Electric Universe\n\nThe report does not discuss the complex shape of the dragon storm. But that shape indicates an external origin of electrical power. Similar forms occur in plasma instabilities when an intense beam of electrons strikes a 'witness plate.'\n\nThese two images show in cross-section what happens to a beam of electrons that is following an axial magnetic field. The image on the left is due to a 90 kiloamp current striking a carbon witness plate. The other image is due to a 58 microamp current striking a fluorescent screen. So in the laboratory the effect is scaleable over 12 orders of magnitude of beam current! - \"The Dragon Storm\"\n\n\"Saturn Currently Stormy\"\n\"Our laws of force tend to be applied in the Newtonian sense in that for every action there is an equal reaction, and yet, in the real world, where many-body gravitational effects or electrodynamic actions prevail, we do not have every action paired with an equal reaction.\" — Harold Aspden\nTop\n\nThe Dragon Storm and the cloud formations in \"storm alley\" are not the same things. Note that the Dragon crosses the cloud formations without disturbing their common patterns. Saturn's clouds are not plasma phenomena -- although, like all aspects of planetary atmospheres, they have plasma-like characteristics due to charge separation -- they are fluid dynamic phenomena.\n\nWal doesn't say that all the clouds are electrical displays -- \"but that [Dragon Storm] shape indicates an external origin of electrical power.\"\n\nIt is important not to mix (no pun intended) the two concepts. I once asked Tony Peratt if the fluid models could be applied to plasma instabilities and he was insistent that there is no connection.\n\nAlso, remember that the periodic oscillation of the Dragon (it \"rises and falls\" in the atmosphere according to the consensus) most likely indicates a variability in the input current to Saturn.\n\nOn Saturn, the cloud bands move in opposite directions, so there is no doubt that they are experiencing the various fluid instabilities that I mentioned before.", null, null, null, "I know that the atmosphere shows distinct banding, and they say that the matter in the bands do not all move at the same rate (or even appear to move opposite one another) and I thought perhaps that might be akin to the two charges moving against each other.\n\nI see a correlation between the banding in Jupiter's cloudtops, The rings of Saturn and the [urlhttp://www.windows.ucar.edu/earth/images/profile.jpg]thermoclines[/url] which make up the Earth's atmosphere. Obviously these phenomena are on three different planes, but I feel they share defining characteristics. the \"counter rotating\" aspect of Jupiter's cloud bands seems to be mirrored in Saturn's rings and the interaction between Jupiter's cloud bands is very similar to the manner in which Terrestrial lightning propogates both above and below the tropospheric boundary (there is a higher resolution video of Jupiter's North Pole which shows this interaction more clearly, you can see the lower cloud band \"discharge\" to the higher band which is immediately followed by another discharge to the band above).\n\nCheers!\n\"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.\"\nBob Marley\nTop\n\nScientists have come up with a novel theory to explain the unexplained terrain on one of Saturn's icy moons.\n\nThe most striking feature of Iapetus is a bulging ridge, which encircles the moon's equator and reaches an altitude of 20km in places.\n\nA new theory suggests the ridge formed when the moon went from a relatively fast-spinning body to one spinning more slowly.\n\nReferring to the ridge on Iapetus, Mr Roberts explained: \"It looks like somebody screwed two halves of the moon together and did a very bad job soldering the joint.\n\nDe-spinning can cause compression along the equator, but it cannot have formed the ridge on Iapetus because this compression is acting in the wrong direction.\n\nHowever, the computer modelling work carried out at JHUAPL shows that de-spinning also dissipates more heat at the equator than elsewhere.\n\nMr Roberts suggested that warm, buoyant ice rose to the surface from Iapetus' interior and pushed the brittle surface ice outward, forming a ridge around the equator.\n\nThe slowing down of Iapetus' spin is estimated to have taken 100 million years or so, at which point the heating stopped. As the moon cooled down, the ridge was frozen in place.\n\nMost moons are thought to have undergone de-spinning. But why this process should have caused a ridge around Iapetus, and not around the equatorial regions of other satellites, remains an open question, Mr Roberts told BBC News.\n\nHowever, he added, going from 16-hour rotation to 79 days could mean Iapetus presents the most extreme case of de-spinning in the Solar System. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7965332.stm\n\n* So electrical forces seem to have formed all such bodies and spinning may not have been needed at all. Nor is water or ice needed.\nTop\n\n\"No one could have predicted that the little moon Enceladus would have such an influence on the radio technique that has been used for years to determine the length of the Saturn day,\" said Dr. Don Gurnett of the University of Iowa, Iowa City. Gurnett is the principal investigator on the radio and plasma wave science experiment onboard NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The radio technique measures the rotation of the planet by taking its radio pulse rate -- the rhythm of natural radio signals from the planet.\n\nFinding out the length of Saturn's day has been a challenge because the gaseous planet has no surface or fixed point to clock its rotation rate. Initially, the approach was to use periodic regular radio signals, as has been done for Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune.\n\nHowever, Saturn's radio period has turned out to be troubling in two ways. It seems to be a pulsed signal rather than a rotating, lighthouse-like beam. Secondly, the period seems to be slowly changing over months to years. The day measured by Cassini is some six minutes longer than the day recorded by NASA's Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s, a change of nearly 1 percent.\n[img]http://jpl.nasa.gov/images/cassini/ence ... se.jpg[img]\n\"One would predict that when the geysers are very active, the particles load down the magnetic field and increase the slippage of the plasma disk, thereby increasing the radio emission period even more. If the geysers are less active, there would be less of a load on the magnetic field, and therefore less slippage of the plasma disk, and a shorter period,\" said Gurnett.\n\n\"The direct link between radio, magnetic field and deep planetary rotation has been taken for granted up to now. Saturn is showing we need to think further,\" said Michele Dougherty, principal investigator on Cassini's magnetometer instrument, Imperial College London.\n\nhttp://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2007-032\nThe illusion from which we are seeking to extricate ourselves is not that constituted by the realm of space and time, but that which comes from failing to know that realm from the standpoint of a higher vision. -L.H.\nTop\n\nYeah, 'cause when we need radio signals, we just...

[ "When social media becomes “the detective”", null, "Many people grew up without the Internet and the excitement of social media, but platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and WhatsApp opened up a whole new world of communication to millions of people. Clement (2019) argues that the number of worldwide social network users is expected to grow from 2.65 billion in 2018 to around 3.02 billion in 2021, around a third of the entire global population. As Internet access and smartphone use expand worldwide, social media use shows no signs of slowing down. Social media however doesn’t always have to be entertaining: it can also be an excellent policing tool.\n\nA way to communicate\nSocial media created new opportunities for the police, not only to communicate with the community about wanted suspects, missing persons and to share success, but also to collect evidence and solve crimes. It provides the police with unprecedented access to the public, and vice versa. Via Facebook and Twitter, the police and the public can communicate in real time with one another about incidents and events. Social media also transforms how the police manage the visibility of their personnel and activities. Walsh and O’Connor (2018) note that law enforcement agencies use social media for the purposes of risk communication, impression management and soliciting assistance. According to MacGilllivray (2018), some of the benefits of tweeting, posting and sharing information by law enforcement agencies include:\n\nSocial media communications also attempt to enlist citizens in the detection and reporting of criminal events. They are mobilised as additional \"eyes and ears\" through social media platforms in cases where authorities release posters of wanted or missing persons or provide safety tips. As this encourages public vigilance, law enforcement simultaneously enhance their reach and knowledge. Given their reliance on voluntary participation and individuals' desire to help, the success of these arrangements hinges on public trust and support (Walsh and O’Connor, 2018).\n\nA source of evidence\n\nThe omnipresence of mobile devices in our daily lives and our use thereof to access social media platforms, creates an unlimited source of evidence which can be relevant to criminal investigations. Investigating officers have become highly skilled in locating and retrieving evidence from social media platforms. Whether they surf the Internet to identify open source information or use subpoenas and search warrants to retrieve information through legal processes, law enforcement agencies have utilised evidence from social media sources to identify suspects, locate witnesses and convict defendants. As the number of individuals using social media continues to increase and the volume of digital evidence contained on social media platforms and in social media accounts grows, the challenge for law enforcement becomes bigger in how to efficiently collect, process and analyse the evidence in an effective and timely manner (Hamrick, 2019).\n\nAs social media are embedded in the flow of everyday life, they offer permanent, searchable and remotely accessible archives of previously private details and occurrences. Alongside helping to clear cases where criminals have, quite illogically, bragged about or documented their exploits online, public or semi-public content can supplement and verify other evidentiary material (such as alibis), providing new justification for offline interventions (Walsh and O’Connor, 2018). Social media can help to provide police with a host of information they may not have otherwise discovered, as well as with new witnesses.\n\nWidely use by police\nLexisNexis (2014) states that more than 80% of police departments in the USA actively use social media as an investigation tool and there is compelling evidence on how social media aids the process. Some of the law enforcement officers who participated in this study said the following:\n\n[This is only an extract of an article published in Servamus: November 2019 from pp 52-56. The rest of the article informs us about more creative ways in which the police are using social media to find witnesses; information or solve crime; whether there are any policing issues or issues in court relating to the use of social media and we conclude with a warning for citizens.

Alongside large-scale hiring freezes being forecasted in OneSource Virtual’s 2023 CFO Outlook Report, data shows CFOs are putting their staff in the best position to remain productive and not feel overworked, even as their teams pause hiring. Many are implementing automation technology in areas surrounding remedial finance and accounting tasks, freeing up labor for work on other projects that can counteract economic woes by driving growth.\n\nCourtny Cloeter, chief revenue officer of OneSource Virtual, talked to CFO about how finance leaders can both implement and allocate their way into the best possible position for what is to come. According to Cloeter, it comes down to a balance of identifying the most impactful place of automation while creating the best work environment for the employees who survive freezes and cuts.\n\nEarned Wage Access (EWA) is a fintech offering that allows employees access to their wages prior to payday. Nearly all respondents (95%) said they are either implementing EWA or are considering doing so. Despite only 47% of respondents currently offering EWA to their employees, data shows the idea is becoming entrenched in the corporate finance landscape as a way to add employee perks and increase retention.", null, "“Employers are looking for meaningful ways to help their employees, and new offerings like EWA go a long way in helping to remove stress and retain their employees,” Cloeter said.\n\n“Companies can’t afford to absorb 10% wage inflation annually or meaningfully pass along these costs to their customers,” said Cloeter, when asked about employee morale during hiring freezes. “Companies have turned to programs like financial wellness to help them through this difficult period.”\n\nWhile the idea stems from good faith and does indeed give employees access to their money in a pinch, some may be cautious, as the offerings bear some resemblance to the now illegal payday loan industry. With fees associated with these kinds of products, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already put forth opinions defining the differences between an EWA product and a payday loan.\n\nIn the process of implementation of hiring freezes, data shows CFOs are turning to outsourcing as a viable second option, should workloads increase and hiring isn’t permitted. With nearly a third (32%) of CFOs telling OneSource Virtual their teams are understaffed right now, outsourcing for teams in need of assistance may pay major dividends as 2023 comes to fruition.\n\n“Initially, outsourcing was all about operational cost reduction or a fundamental belief that companies should focus on their core business,” said Cloeter. “Today, companies offer co-sourcing services that are truly an extension of a company’s human resources and finance departments.”\n\nOutsourcing or co-sourcing can not only provide assistance without commitment to an employee, but it can free up employees whose skill sets can be used elsewhere. According to the report, 74% of surveyed CFOs identified “extra capacity” as the top reason for outsourcing their finance and accounting tasks.\n\n“Gone are the days of calling a remote call center,” Cloeter said. “With co-sourcing, companies can partner with firms that bring subject matter expertise and applications while working onshore within the customer’s technology platforms. Companies get the best of both worlds in this arrangement.”\n\nLimping labor markets have also resulted in outsourcing becoming a more viable option for CFOs who need particular tasks completed accurately on a regular basis. Ninety-five percent of those surveyed said skill shortages are likely to impact their decision to outsource tasks like invoice processing and payments. Out of that group, 61% said skill shortages were “very likely” to impact their outsourcing decisions.\n\nAs strategies around minimizing the impact of hiring freezes continue to develop, the automation of remedial tasks through software is on the mind of financial executives from across the board. While nearly all (95%) of CFOs told surveyors their finance function was automated, levels of automation varied significantly. Of those who are using automation, over half (49%) said they were only somewhat automated.\n\n“Companies have invested heavily in technology platforms since pre-Y2K,” said Cloeter. “The recent investments are more around leveraging the power of cloud computing and machine learning. Better, faster, cheaper applications will continue to come to market, and companies will continue to evaluate investments.”\n\nAccording to the revenue officer, the value of technology for CFOs has not only been determined by the impact of its function but by its implementation ability within current organizational systems.\n\n“What has changed is the ability for cloud and SaaS solutions to plug and play with large-scale ERPs,” said Cloeter. “I see investment and functionality only accelerating in the future as companies look to improve productivity through automation.”\n\nBoth technology and hiring are having a serious impact on growth projections. The impact of hiring freezes is still causing more than a third (37%) of CFOs to believe they will not be able to match their growth ambitions. When it comes to focusing more on strategic tasks and other projects, 43% of CFOs said they would not be able to do it without automation of their accounts payable duties.\n\nAccording to Cloeter, CFOs need to be ready to make changes while properly narrowing expectations. “Revenue growth is key to most problems, but it can’t come at any cost,” said Cloeter. “Some companies will reduce staff and operations, leading to increased client churn and revenue declines. But what’s really happening is that the [executive’s] focus is diluted. [They’re] chasing revenue dreams that may never materialize.”", null, null, null ]

All of these taxa, however, interact with each other.\nIts habitat is often that of coastal brackish areas.", null, "Description –\nGrindelia hirsutula is a perennial ervbaceous plant, with an erect habit that can reach a height of up to 1.50 meters, and even more, even if it normally assumes smaller dimensions.\nThe plant is generally green in color, but the stems are often red or brown-purple and the leaves can be a little yellowish or reddish, simple and alternate.\nThe plant can produce numerous branched flower heads at the top.\nEach flower head is 2 or 3 centimeters wide with hemispherical cups; the bracts are claw-shaped and folded away from the flowers. The center of the head is filled with many small yellow flowers surrounded by numerous golden flowers. The head produces a thick white exudate, especially in the new flower heads.\nThe fruit is an achene, it is called cipsela.\n\nCultivation –\nHairy gumplant is a perennial plant that is harvested in nature for local use as a medicine and source of materials.\nIt is a plant that can be grown easily in any well-drained soil and in full sun.\nIt grows well on dry sandy banks and poor soils; it also tolerates temperatures down to -5 and -10 ° C.\nPropagation occurs by seed with sowing in autumn or spring in a cold greenhouse, with seed cover. The transplant is then carried out in their permanent positions in early summer.\n\nCustoms and Traditions –\nGrindelia robusta is a plant that can find medicinal uses; the dry leaves and the flowering tops are in fact anti-asthmatic, expectorant and sedative.\nThe main use of this herb is in the treatment of bronchial phlegm, especially when there is an asthmatic tendency.\nThe active ingredient is excreted by the kidneys and this sometimes produces signs of kidney irritation.\nThe plant has also been used in the treatment of itchy rashes caused by contact with poison oak (Rhus spp.).\nIt is also a homeopathic remedy that is prepared from the leaves and flowering stems.\nAmong other uses it is remembered from the flower heads and from the fruits yellow and green dyes are obtained.\n\nPreparation Method –\nThe dried leaves and flowering tops of this plant are used and, for some homeopathic remedies, even the flowering stems." ]

For now, secrets and shares are fixed as prime field elements represented by i64 values.\n\nSeveral examples are included in the examples/ directory. Run each with cargo using e.g.\n\nfor the Shamir example below.\n\nWhen choosing parameters, threshold and share_count must be chosen to satisfy security requirements, and prime must be large enough to correctly encode the value to be shared (and such that prime >= share_count + 1).\n\nWhen reconstructing the secret, indices must be explicitly provided to identify the shares; these correspond to the indices the shares had in the vector returned by share().\n\nIf many secrets are to be secret shared, it may be beneficial to use the packed scheme where several secrets are packed into each share. While still very computational efficient, one downside is that the parameters are somewhat restricted.\n\nDue to this increased complexity, providing helper functions for finding suitable parameters are in progress. For now, a few fixed fields are included in the packed module as illustrated in the example below:\n\nwith format PSS_T_N_D for sharing D secrets into N shares with a threshold of T.\n\nBoth the Shamir and the packed scheme enjoy certain homomorphic properties: shared secrets can be transformed by manipulating the shares. Both addition and multiplications work, yet notice that the reconstruction limit in the case of multiplication goes up by a factor of two for each application.\n\nWhile it's straight-forward to instantiate the Shamir scheme, as mentioned above the packed scheme is more tricky and a few helper methods are provided as a result. Since some applications needs only a fixed choice of parameters, these helper methods are optional and only included if the paramgen feature is activated during compilation:\n\nSo far most performance efforts has been focused on share generation for the packed scheme, with some obvious enhancements for reconstruction in the process of being implemented.

None of those deaths happened in the United States, but death threats against journalists in this country seem to be on the rise and have been especially acute since 2016.\n\nAre those threats all talk? We have no way of knowing. But as the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence points out, 313 people on average are shot in the United States every day. Thirty-seven are murdered, 95 are intentionally shot by someone else and survive, and 63 die by suicide.\n\nWashington state lawmakers spent the first minutes of The Associated Press’ annual legislative preview event expressing their concerns for journalists who had been threatened on the Capitol campus this past week. Security has increased for the legislative session, which begins Monday. But based on what happened in Olympia and Washington, D.C., this past week, lawmakers and journalists must be thinking a lot right now about the dangers of working in support of our democracy.\n\nThis story was first published in Crosscut's Weekly newsletter.

[ "For many software engineers and developers, using standard libraries or built-in objects is just not enough. To save time and increase efficiency, most developers build on work done by others. Whatever the coding problem, there is likely another programmer who has already created a solution for it. There is usually no need to repeat the problem-solving process. This principle is known as Do not Repeat Yourself or DRY.\n\nCode that goes beyond the standard library is often shared between individuals, teams, and even the entire coding community. If you have solved a coding problem, you can make it publicly available as an open source codebase for other developers to benefit from. These collections of code are called packages.\n\nIn this tutorial, we will build a simple Python package and create a continuous integration (CI) pipeline for it.\n\nIf you are using a popular programming language like JavaScript or Python there will be tools available for publishing your open source packages. For JavaScript, you can use Node Package Manager (NPM). For Python, you can use the Python Package Index, also known as (PyPI). We will be using PyPI for this tutorial.\n\nTo complete this tutorial you will need:", null, "Our first task is to create a simple conversion package that can demonstrate package functionality in a short amount of time. The package we create will allow a programmer to convert values for:\n\nUsing a typical package maintenance workflow as our model, we will provide updates over time that extend the usefulness of the package and improve security. We will use a changelog to keep track of updates and inform users of the changes. More on that later.\n\nChoose a location in your system and create a project:\n\nWith the project created and named, we can begin building functionality to convert temperature from fahrenheit to celsius and back). The logic will be contained in the file temperature.py.\n\nCopy this code and paste it into the ./convrsn/temperature.py file:\n\nCopy this code into setup.py, and then update author and author_email using your information:\n\nTo finish this step, can use the GitHub .gitignore template for Python. Copy the contents into this projects’s .gitignore file.\n\nThe code should be similar to this.\n\nClone it by running:\n\nBefore we begin this step, I should mention that I’m using Python3. Depending on your Python installation, you may need to use python3 instead of python, as shown in the example.\n\nIn your terminal (at the root of the project) run:\n\nThis command creates a source distribution and a shareable wheel that can be published on pypi.org.\n\nTo test this, create a virtual Python environment.\n\nNote: Use a different location to prevent name-clashing between modules.\n\nThen, install the convrsn package using the wheel distribution. Depending on your Python installation, you may need to use pip3.\n\nTo test, run the script while still in the virtual Python environment.\n\nOur Python package is ready for publishing.\n\nIn this step of the tutorial, we will follow the workflow a real-life package creator and maintainer might use. First, we will first publish our package to test.pypi.org to make sure everything is working. When we are ready to publish to our package users, we will move on to pypi.org.\n\nPython Packaging Authority (PYPA) have a nifty package to help with this called twine. We will install twine then publish to test.pypi.org. You will be asked to enter your credentials for the site.\n\nIn your terminal, navigate to the root folder of your package and run:\n\nIn a separate Python virtual environment, pip install the package. When you run pip install <package-name>, pip searches for the package files in the official Python Package Index, on pypi.org.\n\nHere is how mine executed.\n\nSuccess! Now we can automate the publishing process with CircleCI.\n\nIt is no secret that CircleCI is great for automating scripts. It turns out it is also great for creating a repeatable process for package publication. We will create a process that can:\n\nTo begin, create a folder named tests. In it, create a file and name it test_temperature.py. In tests/test_tempertaure.py, enter:\n\nWhile you are in the Python virtual environment containing our convrsn package, go to the root folder. Pip install pytest, then run the pytest command:\n\nBoth tests should pass successfully.\n\nNext, add a CircleCI configuration file to the project. Create a folder named .circleci. In the new folder, create a file named config.yml. In .circleci/config.yml, copy and paste:\n\nThis configuration file instructs the pipeline to install the necessary dependencies, run tests, and publish the package. The workflow part of the configuration specifies filters, the sequence the jobs should be executed in, and their dependencies.\n\nConnecting the project to CircleCI\n\nBegin by pushing your project to GitHub.\n\nYour repository should be similar to this.\n\nNow, go to the Add Projects page on the CircleCI dashboard. Click Set Up Project.\n\nClick Use Existing Config (because we already have our own config file). In the modal that appears click Start Building.\n\nCircleCI picks the default branch, so if you use a branch without the .circleci/config.yml file, you will get a build error. The build_test job will pass, but if you are in either the main or develop branches, expect the build to fail. That is because the test_pypi_publish and pypi_publish jobs cannot run yet.\n\nAlthough Test PyPI credentials were expected when we published the package using twine, we could not interact with the terminal while it was running the command in the pipeline. To supply these credentials, we could add flags to the command: twine upload -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD. However, because the config file is tracked by Git, and our Git repository is public, using the flags would be a security risk. We can avoid this risk by creating environment variables.\n\nWhile still on the CircleCI project (python-package), click Project Settings on the top right part of the page.\n\nEnter the key-value pairs of TWINE_USERNAME and TWINE_PASSWORD. This is the expected result.\n\nIn your local project, create a file named CHANGELOG.md and enter:\n\nTo make sure the build succeeds, we also need to bump the version in setup.py to 0.0.2 to match the change log.\n\nNote: If you don’t bump the version, the publishing job will fail because you cannot publish the same version twice.\n\nCommit the changes and push to GitHub to trigger a build.\n\nTo extend the package’s functionality, you can create another branch and make updates to it. After that:\n\nWhen you have a successful build, create a GitHub Pull Request (PR) to the develop branch. If it looks good, merge it. When that build succeeds, create a PR to the main branch, review it, and merge.\n\nTake a look at these example pull requests:\n\nThe package on Test PyPI and on PyPI has the additional functionality of distance conversion from kilometer to miles and the reverse. The PRs were merged when builds were successful.\n\nThere you have it, a successful, repeatable process suitable for a Python package maintainer enabled by CI/CD. We went through setting up a Python package project, creating Python wheels, and installing a package using a whl file. We published the package from a local machine and then automated the process using CircleCI.\n\nStanley is a Software Engineer and Technical Copywriter who has worn several hats, including technical team leadership and community engagement.

[ "Some people have some strong thoughts about Prince Harry’s candid interview, where he opened up about his relationship with Prince Charles.\n\nThe 36-year-old royal did not hold back when criticizing his father’s parenting skills on the Armchair Expert podcast this week. While on a mental health journey, the Duke of Sussex said he learned how Charles inadvertently raised him the way he was brought up as a young monarch. But he expressed how he would not do the same with his own children — AKA 2-year-old Archie and soon-to-be-here daughter. Harry said:\n\n“I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody, but certainly when it comes to parenting, if I’ve experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I’m going to make sure I break that cycle so that I don’t pass it on, basically.”\n\nOuch! He continued, claiming a “cycle” of “genetic pain and suffering” was passed onto him:\n\n“It’s a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway, so we as parents should be doing the most we can to try and say, ‘You know what, that happened to me, I’m going to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.’”\n\nLogically, it all makes sense! But the Duke of Sussex also called out his dad specifically, saying:\n\n“I never saw it, I never knew about it, and then suddenly I started to piece it together and go ‘OK, so this is where he went to school, this is what happened, I know this about his life, I also know that is connected to his parents so that means he’s treated me the way he was treated, so how can I change that for my own kids.’”\n\nYeah… If we thought the tell-all interview had been bad for their relationship, this certainly did not help. And while the Prince of Wales hasn’t responded to Harry’s interview, royal expert Robert Jobson was disgusted that the rogue prince decided to slam the royal family again soon after Prince Philip’s funeral. The author told Page Six on Friday:\n\n“To start saying things within weeks of his grandfather’s funeral seems ungracious. I’m sure if he used his brain now and then … it’s not helpful talking about his personal problems. He’s talking about his father, who’s just lost his own dad, going through his own traumas and mental health issues. Surely he should support Charles now more than ever, and I don’t know why he’s done it.”\n\nObviously, not! The 57-year-old saltily added:\n\n“He is very self-indulged. He doesn’t seem to care about anybody’s feelings but himself. His father has just lost his own father, his grandmother has just lost her husband, her confidant of over 70 years, so for me, it’s quite selfish.”\n\nWell, he seems less than thrilled. But Jobson recognized how the husband of Meghan Markle has struggled with his mental health — which had been a big topic of discussion with Dax Shepard. Still, he thinks Harry should have kept it all to himself in the end:\n\n“Just because he’s selling a series on mental health with Oprah doesn’t mean you have to trash your family. I don’t really see what is gained.”\n\nWe mean… The guy was on a podcast about mental health, and this was a part of his story. Just saying! To be honest, though, he could have said a lot worse if he provided specific examples!\n\nWhat are your thoughts, Perezcious readers? Do U think Harry had been selfish for critiquing Charles’ parenting style? Let us know in the comments (below)!", null, null, null, null ]

[ null, "By Samantha Sharp On July 17, 2018 0 Comment\nYesterday, US President Donald Trump met with Russian premier Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland. The summit has been the subject of intense speculation and came ‘on the heels of a European trip for Trump that was punctuated by discord with NATO allies, public statements undermining British Prime Minister Theresa May, and massive anti-Trump protests in London’ (Rferl.org, 16.7.18). An unavoidable conflict of interest surrounded the meeting, with President Trump who is a vocal critic of pretty much everybody and historically quiet on the subject of Putin. His plan to sit down with the Russian autocrat behind closed doors was met with strong calls for transparency. There are those who believe that this action supports the Robert Mueller led investigation looking into Russian interference in the 2016 US election, that being that there was collusion with the Trump administration. The accusations of said interference are something that Trump tweets angrily about on an almost daily basis. He calls it the ‘Rigged Witch Hunt’, amongst other things.\n\nAn article written by Philip Rucker, Anton Troianovski and Seung Min Kim for the Washington Post yesterday gives an excellent account of the summit. Here are the three authors in Helsinki.", null, "The meeting has since been heavily criticised by many, even by people within the Republican party. Senator John McCain ran against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination. During his campaign, Trump said that he didn’t like Senator McCain because he had been a prisoner of war and had been captured: not smart enough apparently because he had been captured. As if one has a choice during war.\n\nMcCain is the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He released a statement yesterday following the summit with Putin:", null, "Senator John McCain, former Republican candidate for the presidency, although he never won it\n\n‘Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naivety, egotism, false equivalence and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.\n\nPresident Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand p to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world’.\n\nYou can read the rest of McCain’s statement below, along with a few other articles I had found on the summit, of which there are certainly no shortage. Despite all of the above criticism, the summit seems to have been ‘heavy on drama’ and ‘light on substance’ (Rferl.org, 16.7.18). Nothing was discussed in great detail of any significance and the focus was mainly on generating a good relationship going forward. Radio Free Europe also suggest that Trump knew exactly what he was doing by giving Putin a platform and that he was, in fact, appeasing the Russian leader.\n\nMr Giles is of the belief that it could have been worse and in fact, we got off lucky:\n\n‘An unsupervised face to face meting with Putin, with no opportunities for other US officials to influence decisions, held the danger of far more damaging outcomes than the further discrediting of Trump himself’, (Chatham House expert comment, 17.7.18).\n\nHere are some of the salient points from the expert comment by Mr Giles:\n\nSo all in all, although Trump is in the bad books in the United States, according to Keir Giles, it could have been much, much worse: such is the view of the writer for Radio Free Europe (who also refers to the expert comment by Mr Giles), in that ‘for the West, it could have been worse’ (Rferl.org, 16.7.18).\n\nWhatever your thoughts are, you’re not going to be short of reading material. Just remember to look at all sides. Read who you like and who you don’t like. Look at the reports from different countries and from different sizes of the political spectrum. I know that Trump has made his mistakes and if I were Mrs May, I would be ensuring that I had allies in Europe right now as well as the US, but whatever you might say, trying to cement good relations is no bad thing. Things were not addressed, this is correct. But Trump’s allies would say that thing were never meant to be addressed at this meeting. It was supposed to create a rapport.\n\nAs to what happens now, we can but wait and see.\n\nRadio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. This is a source that I used at Kings College, London, when studying Russia. It is an excellent source and just gives a different perspective. ‘Analysts say Putin was a clear summit victor’, 16.7.18:\n\nKatie Reilly for Time Magazine, ‘Both Trump and Putin just denied meddling in the 2016 election.

[ "Continuing a ride into the history of Queens’ Forest Park: Our Neighborhood, The Way it Was", null, "Picking up where we left off last week, the second part of our look at Forest Park’s history focuses on the timeless Forest Park Carousel and other important cultural and athletic venues. We’ll also take a look at the construction of a roadway that not only dissected the park itself, but also had grave implications on a nearby cemetery and future commuters.\n\nIn 1918, the Forest Park Carousel was built by William H. Dentzel of Philadelphia in the plant started by his father, Gustave, in 1868. The horses, lions and simulated leather saddles were hand carved by Daniel Muller, one of the greatest of the master carousel carvers.\n\nIf you sat on one of the outside horses, you could reach for the metal ring that was held by a wooden arm. If you were lucky enough to get the brass ring, you were entitled to a free ride.\n\nA fire destroyed the original Forest Park Carousel in 1966. It was replaced in the 1970s with a Muller merry-go-round formerly used at the defunct Lakeview amusement park in Dracut, Mass. It is one of only two Muller carousels still operating in the U.S.; the other is located at Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio.\n\nThe carousel operated continuously until 2008, save for a brief period during the late 1980s when it was closed for renovation. In 2008, the Parks Department shut the ride down after it failed to reach an agreement with its previous operator.\n\nThe beloved ride would remain closed for four years until the city Parks Department selected a new operator. To the delight of children of all ages, the Forest Park Carousel began spinning again in 2012, with New York Carousel Entertainment operating the ride on the Parks Department’s behalf.\n\nIt figures that generations of children will get to enjoy the Forest Park Carousel for decades to come, as the city Landmarks Preservation Commission granted it landmark status in 2013.\n\nA place to play & remember\n\nIn 1924, the city of New York acquired by condemnation two acres and a house located on the south side of Myrtle Avenue and 80th Street. Eventually, the third and second stories were removed and the sides were cement coated. This became the comfort station for Dry Harbor Playground.\n\nAccording to the city’s Parks Department, Dry Harbor Playground opened in 1934 and included swings, seesaws, a wavy slide, a flag pole and a schoolyard gymnasium. Renovations in the years that followed brought new amenities including basketball courts, a sprinkler area, a shuffleboard court and a baseball field.\n\nIn recent years, Dry Harbor Playground took on a greater significance, as it is the location of a memorial garden dedicated to local victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.\n\nThe American Day Parade Committee — which organized a memorial march through Glendale in 2002 for the first anniversary of the attacks — sought to build the monument in honor of 42 victims from Glendale and the surrounding communities of Ridgewood, Middle Village and Woodhaven.\n\nInitially, the Parks Department bucked at the idea of having a monument within the memorial garden, but after much public pressure from the committee, local elected officials and civic activists, the agency agreed to the memorial in February 2007.\n\nVictory Field opened on April 27, 1927, at the corner of Woodhaven Boulevard and Myrtle Avenue. It was dedicated to the veterans of World War I and had six baseball diamonds, a quarter-mile cinder track and several handball courts. In the winter, the track infield was flooded for ice skating. In the fall, several of the fields were used for football and soccer.\n\nUsed by athletes of all kinds through the years, Victory Field was renamed in honor of former Assemblyman and Judge Frederick Schmidt in April 2007. The renaming coincided with the completion of a multimillion-dollar renovation of the facility.\n\nRenovated twice in 1977 and 1999, the Seuffert Bandshell accommodates up to 3,500 people and hosts a wide variety of free concerts each summer, including performances by the Queens Symphony Orchestra.\n\nA road runs through it\n\nIn 1912, talk started about building a 150-foot-wide roadway through Forest Park from Highland Park, with the road to cut also through Cypress Hills Cemetery. However, there were objections and nothing came of it.\n\nFor years, the only road through Forest Park was the eponymous Drive, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the famed architect best known for designing Central Park.\n\nForest Park Drive winds its way from Myrtle Avenue in Glendale to Park Lane near Union Turnpike on the Forest Hills/Kew Gardens border. Two segments are open to vehicular traffic today: one between Myrtle Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard, and the other between Park Lane and Metropolitan Avenue. The segment between Woodhaven Boulevard and Metropolitan Avenue is reserved for bicyclists and pedestrians.\n\nIn the 1930s, master builder Robert Moses succeeded in constructing the Interboro Parkway through both Forest and Highland Park and Cypress Hills Cemetery, linking the Grand Central Parkway in central Queens to Highland Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue in Brooklyn.\n\nThe road was a branch of Moses’ parkway system, built at a time when driving was more of a leisure activity than a routine. The “ribbon parks,” as they were called, were lined with trees and featured slopes and curves to give drivers and passengers an enjoyable scenic experience while motoring.\n\nDuring his more than 40 years in city and state government, Moses developed a reputation of letting almost nothing stand in the way of his vision. If he wanted a road built, he was going to build that road regardless of the obstacle — including landmarks, parkland, homes and people.\n\nIn the case of the Interboro Parkway, many graves were in Moses’ way — but not for very long. His parkway carved a long, winding path through the heart of Cypress Hills Cemetery. Thus, it was necessary to dig up and removed hundreds of caskets and relocate them. A large number of laborers were used to perform this grim task.\n\nThe buildings were torn down in August 1933, and the parkway’s construction reduced Forest Park’s acreage from 534 to 508.\n\nThe Interboro Parkway opened in 1935, but within six years’ time, city planners recognized the parkway’s dangerous curves. A 1941 New York City Planning Department report declared, “At two points in the parkway, there are bad curves that are a serious hazard and impair the usefulness of the parkway.

Did you watch the last episode? If you missed it, we have a full and detailed The Fosters recap right here for you.\n\nOn tonight’s episode as per the ABC Family Synopsis, “Jesus sustains an injury after he tries to cover for his father who didn’t show up to work. Meanwhile, Mariana takes Jesus’ ADHD medication after feeling drained; Callie and AJ are caught in an awkward situation when Mike and Brandon arrive home early and Stef tells Mike that Brandon gave his settlement money to Cortney.”\n\nWe will be live blogging tonight’s episode at 8pm that airs on ABC Family. In the meantime, hit up our comments and tell us how excited you are for the next episode of the fourth season of The Fosters; stay tuned for our The Fosters recap and enjoy a sneak peek of tonight’s episode below.\n\nCallie and AJ haven’t been seeing eye to eye since this thing with her former foster brother began so recently she’s been trying to find a way to make it up to him and unfortunately both Mike and Brandon interrupted what she had been planning. Mike had apparently told AJ that he had an extra shift at and then hadn’t called to tell him that he canceled that in order to have dinner with his boys. So Mike and Brandon had walked into the apartment and had found Callie’s things like her bra thrown over their couch. But Mike who thankfully had been the adult in the situation had politely knocked on AJ’s door as if he didn’t suspect a single thing and just wanted to have dinner with.\n\nHowever, Brandon had put Callie’s bra in her bag so that she wouldn’t rush home without it. So Callie had found it when she was leaving and had known that the guys suspected what she was really doing with AJ because it sure wasn’t studying like they said yet Callie again used that excuse when she got home and had to deal with her mom’s. Stef and Lena have been trying to get everyone to sit down for family meals so that they could talk and, for some reason, there’s just always something that happens to ruin the mood. If it was not Gabe reneging on his deal to fix up the garage then its Mariana rushing up from the table because she was freaking out about the upcoming robotics competition.\n\nJesus though had called his biological father to see what was going on and Gabe had been surprisingly out it during their conversation. So Jesus was trying to cover for Gabe because Gabe was refusing to show even after he called him while his twin sister on the other hand, was busy falling apart. Mariana had been under a lot of pressure with the competition and all the guys in STEAM quit after Mariana tried to give them orders. Yet, Mariana was also reeling from Nick being released and feeling like she had to stay in a relationship with him just to stop him from killing himself. Nick, it seems had figured out the one thing he knew would work on Mariana so he has been holding that over her head all these months and emotionally blackmailing her into staying in a relationship with him.\n\nThough with both Stef and Lena both concerned about their older kids and they were, there wasn’t anyone paying attention to Jude. Jude had tried out medicinal marijuana recently and unfortunately that developed more than just a liking for the stuff. So now Jude was meeting with sketchy girls at school (yes, girls can be school drug dealers too) and basically buying whatever she had on her. Which was a lot even if it didn’t come in the edible version that he would preferred yet Jude was developing a nasty habit and it seems he wasn’t the only one partaking in drugs because Mariana was also using. And to be blunt, she was do more than fair share of abusing drugs.\n\nMariana had gotten her hands on her brother’s ADHD medication so she was secretly stealing his pills from him in order to focus on everything. However, Mariana was popping in those pills as if they were candy and it didn’t look as if she knew how to stop. So Mariana was so caught up in her downward spiral that she hadn’t noticed that she had one brother that was injured when Jude showed up for STEAM with a gigantic bandage on his head and another that was constantly as stoned as she was. And so both Jude as well as Mariana, had actually been stoned when their parents later came home and called a family meeting because they had finally worked up the nerve to tell the kids that they had to sell the house for financial reasons.\n\nThey had used financial reasons because they had hoped that would be enough for the kids. But Mariana had been with that excused so she was questioning it when Jesus collapsed. Jesus had gotten injured while he was trying to do up the garage so his parents wouldn’t notice that Gabe hadn’t showed up. So technically Jesus had injured himself because of Gabe. If Gabe had followed through on the deal he had made with Stef and Lena then he probably would have finished the garage already and Jesus wouldn’t need medical attention. And Mariana apparently felt the same way too. She had later told her biological father that what happened to Jesus was his fault and so she had asked him to leave before her mothers saw him.\n\nJesus’s injury which he thought was some small thing had turned out to be deadly serious. Jesus had accidentally shot a nail into his head and so he was going to need surgery to remove it. Yet, the doctor had been very clear with his parents when they said that there could be some lasting damage. Such as the nail affecting his speech and motor skills. So everyone was freaking out and if Emma hadn’t been there to say what Jesus was doing then no one would have known how he had gotten injured. Or that Gabe had once again blown off the agreement that allowed Stef and Lena to front him the money he needed to pay for the lawyer that got him off the sex offender registry, but things in the waiting room was so tense that Gabe wasn’t the only to get shouted at.\n\nCallie had yelled at AJ when he tried to complain that she was too caught up with Kyle’s case and Callie had also yelled at Jude’s friend Noah for giving him pot in the first place. So Callie had definitely lost her cool while they were all waiting to hear about Jesus’s surgery and unfortunately that had cost her Jude’s trust. Callie hadn’t only yelled at Noah for what he did, she had yelled at him when he was with his mother so now his mother knows what he did and Noah had gotten into trouble because of it. Though Callie didn’t realize what she did to Jude by betraying him until Jude had gotten a text message from Noah and had found out that Noah’s mother had come down on him.\n\nAnd so Callie and Jude’s relationship was fractured by what happened, but Jesus proved to be fine in the end while Callie had surpassed what she did with Jude by harassing the guy that lied about Kyle’s alibi because she knew that there was no way she could get her former foster brother out of prison without that alibi." ]

[ null, "Though he had recorded with them before (albeit always with other people), 2017’s A Rift In Decorum: Live At The Village Vanguard marked the true debut of Ambrose Akinmusire’s impressive jazz quartet, the most interesting new jazz combo since Matthew Shipp teamed up with Matt Walerian two years prior for Live At Okuden. Now the foursome have made their first studio album together, on the tender spot of every calloused moment (CD, digital, vinyl). And while most of it is equally as impressive as A Rift In Decorum, it does have some ill-fitting moments when three of the members go M.I.A. and their leader puts down his signature instrument.\n\non the tender spot of every calloused moment features ten new tunes by Ambrose Akinmusire — and one co-written by Genevieve Artadi, which we’ll get to momentarily — none of which previously appeared on A Rift In Decorum. And like on that live album, this studio session has the trumpet master teaming up with pianist and synthesizer player Sam Harris (who previous backed Akinmusire on 2014’s The Imagined Savior Is Far Easier To Paint and 2018’s Origami Harvest); upright bassist Harish Raghavan (who was also on Savior as well as 2011’s When The Heart Emerges Glistening); and drummer Justin Brown (who was on Heart, Savior, and 2008’s Prelude…To Cora).\n\nOn seven of on the tender spot of every calloused moment‘s eleven songs, the album just features the foursome. But there’s also an eighth track, “Tide of Hyacinth,” on which they’re joined by singer / percussionist Jesus Diaz; a ninth, a solo trumpet piece called “4623”; a tenth, “Hooded procession (read the names outloud),” on which Ambrose Akinmusire swaps his trumpet for a Rhodes electric piano for another solo song; and an eleventh, the aforementioned “Cynical sideliners,” on which Akinmusire plays Rhodes while Artadi sings.\n\nNow, when on the tender spot of every calloused moment is just the foursome, this album hits the same heights as A Rift In Decorum. And in similar ways. Ambrose Akinmusire is a fantastic trumpet player who’s equally matched and supported — and they in turn — by Justin Brown’s drumming, Harish Raghavan’s bass playing, and Sam Harris’ keyboards.\n\nTake the album’s opener, “Tide Of Hyacinth,” which flirts with the same kind of free jazz adjacent approach these four displayed frequently on A Rift In Decorum. On the first and third of this song’s three distinct parts, Akinmusire’s trumpeting and Sam Harris’ piano playing gets both playful and conflicted, while Raghavan and Brown form a rock solid rhythmic foundation on which the other two can play.\n\nFor the middle piece of three, though, the quartet are joined by Diaz, who sings in Yorba, the language of Benin and southwest Nigeria. But while Diaz’s vocal contributions did initially feel out of place, they made more sense after repeated listens, and ultimately because more akin to the vocal parts of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” than, say, the incongruous vocal track “Nothing Like You” on Miles Davis’ Sorcerer.", null, "next veer into smoky jazz territory with the mellow “Yessss,” which is not nearly the left turn it might seem on paper. No, for that you have to go on to the third track, “Cynical sideliners.” While Artadi has a nice voice, and this is a good and mushy soft rock ballad (well, if you like that sort of thing, which I don’t), in context, it sticks out rather awkwardly. And that does double when you get to the next tune, “Mr. Roscoe (consider the simultaneous),” on which the full foursome go back and forth from being playful to being more traditional in their playing and improvisation.\n\non the tender spot of every calloused moment continues down a similar path for its next three tunes. After opening with a beautiful bit of solo bass by Harish Raghavan, “An interlude (that get’ more intense)” builds into something dramatic and epic. Then, “reset (quiet victories&celebrated defeat)” comes in with an even more haunting bit of smoky, trumpet-led jazz, with “Moon (the return amplifies the unity)” then going back to the slightly scattered approach, one that is again held together by the locked-in tight rhythms of bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Justin Brown.\n\nAmbrose Akinmusire then takes on the tender spot of every calloused moment for another left turn, albeit a less harsh one, with “4623,” a short but sweet solo trumpet piece that sounds like it was recorded in an empty room, not a professional studio. It’s also, at just 32 seconds long, more of an interlude than a full song, though it’s also not like the solo intros “Piano Sketch (Sam intro)” and “Condor Sketch (Harish intro)” on A Rift In Decorum.\n\nThings then go back to the mellow place (but not the smoky one) for “Roy,” a short lament on which Ambrose Akinmusire and Sam Harris both play with the kind of care that only comes when you’re remembering someone you’ve lost (in this case, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, who died in 2018).\n\n“Roy” is followed on on the tender spot of every calloused moment by “Blues (we measure the heart with a fist),” yet another high mark for this album in how it comes close to being free jazz adjacent, but in a noisy and atmospheric way that eventually builds into something more dramatic.\n\non the tender spot of every calloused moment then concludes with “Hooded procession (read the names outloud),” on which Ambrose Akinmusire once again plays the Rhodes, but this time alone. Though as with “Cynical sideliners,” the sound of the Rhodes, and the way Akinmusire plays it, keep this track from fitting in with the rest of the album.", null, null, null, null ]

[ "In the State of Wisconsin, prior to a project being able to be issued permit a Plan Review is required.\n\nThis is true throughout the country regardless of jurisdiction or which state you are building in. However, in our state of Wisconsin this plan review is best known as “State Review” or “State Plan Review”. This is because the state for generations have been the only ones doing this review for almost all communities statewide.\n\nWhy? Why the state and not the local communities?\n\nMost all of us have received such extensive training to reinforce that when it comes to commercial structures that before permit can be issued, the State has to review them. But often time that training stops short of saying that your community can do it too. And almost no inspector that we have encountered thus far is aware that this same authority to do plan reviews at the local level is often coupled the authority for Inspectors to also do their job. This provision is SPS 361 as well as state statutes.\n\nThere are various thresholds in place. If a community has any delegation at all, the most common two are:\n\nAnd that is where most communities stop. Even though the average building is significantly larger than that threshold.\n\nTo gain a better understanding That 50,000 cubic foot threshold is a volume threshold. A building that is roughly 60’ long x 60’ wide x 14’ tall would be 50,400 cubic feet – roughly the size of a free-standing Starbucks. This structure would be too large for a Certified Community to do – so without expanded plan review delegation – it would need to go back to the state.\n\nYou also might be asking, where does that 50,000 cubic foot volume threshold even come from?! Especially as everything that we do is based off square feet for permits. That size volume is also the same size threshold that triggers another requirement in our state statutes – it’s the point where an architect or engineer to prepare, sign and seal the plans. Decades ago, when this was established, it was debated and ultimately decided that it would be best that for any community seeking to hold an architect or engineer accountable for their designs – would be another architect or engineer. So unless that community had their own on staff or under contract to do such reviews, it would default back to the state of Wisconsin.\n\nHence – State Plan Reviews. And that is where E-Plan Exam Comes in!\n\nWe are staffed by numerous individuals, but our two founders are Licensed Engineers who oversee all plan review operations. Most of the staff we have come from engineering schooling backgrounds as well and have extensive code knowledge. This allows us to apply with communities to get to the next levels of unlimited size plan review delegation:\n\nAs of today – there is only one city of first class and 16 cities of second class. So, of the 1,800 other municipalities that would want to pursue this expanded plan review, appointed agent would be the route to pursue.\n\nOf course, there are other requirements in play beyond the need for an architect or engineer, and there is still an element of choice where the designer can still submit to the state in all of this even after delegation. All of these rules and requirements we will be more than happy to go through with you, but this is the foundational element on which the state operates. And this is what we through E-Plan Exam as well as in our own lives before we founded this company have operated on to help multitudes of communities achieve this status.\n\nFundamentally, this delegation once achieved empowers each community to take control of all aspects of development within their own community.\n\nThis is how plan review has been handled in our state for decades. And it is why you see the interesting side effects of it.\n\nThe City of Sturgeon Bay, a city of over 8,000 population has the capabilities today that if a high rise were to be developed within the city, all Building, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Alarm and Fire Sprinkler could be done at the local level.\n\nCompare that to a city like Racine with over 77,000 population, the fifth largest city in the state where only the Plumbing can be done for that same structure. Or a city like La Crosse with over 50,000 population where all those elements would have to go to the state for plan review as they today are the only ones who can do it in that community.", null, "Welcome to the State of Wisconsin Plumbing Code!", null, "Top 10 Reasons Projects are Held Up During Plan Review" ]

[ "How does grading affect motivation?", null, "The researchers primarily looked at the role which basic psychological needs (of autonomy, competence, and relatedness) play in potentially undermining effect of performance grading on motivation. Students from 31 classes from 29 schools in Belgium completed questionnaires measuring their motivation, fear, and their psychological need satisfaction after two lessons: one with and the other without their performance being graded. After the lessons in which they were graded, students reported less intrinsic motivation and identified regulation (a form of internalized motivation) and more external regulation, amotivation, and fear. The shift from autonomous motivation to controlled motivation thus indeed happened as their performance was graded. As expected, the degree to which they felt their basic needs had been satisfied played a mediating role in this shift. The figure below shows the relationships between the measured variables.", null, "Taking these results into consideration it seems wise to think carefully about the use of grading in schools. Perhaps we should emphasize grades less and also use them less frequently. Maybe it is not necessary or possible to completely abolish performance grading in education and perhaps its use can be useful or even indispensable. Perhaps this depends on the subject. But instead of thinking about them as tools to motivated students we should only think of them as tools to inform them. And when grades are used it seems wise to explicitly do things which support the basic needs of students, such as offering choice, giving competence-supportive feedback, and fostering good connections between students and teachers.\nautonomous basic needs education grades grading intrinsic motivation performance Schools" ]

Sources who have seen the sports car at seller meetings told us it’ll feature layout. “They are going back into the origins of the automobile,” one source explained.\n\nThe shape is very similar to the present Z, but the design is new. The end mimics that of a 240Z with headlights and a square mouth. Its back taillights are supposed to stick to that of the 300ZX from the 1990s.\n\nFrom a powertrain standpoint, we told that a variant of this 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Infiniti Q50/Q60 400 Red Sport will be pulled for duty. This engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission only right now, but we told a manual transmission will be offered next to the automatic. As a reminder, Nissan did pair the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with a manual in a 370Z SEMA show car before, but it still has not seen a manufacturing application.", null, "As for a potential Nismo version later on, among our sources also tells us it’s very likely that we’ll see this version join the next-generation Z car eventually. Close to 500 horsepower is rumored for this flavor of Z.\n\nThe 370Z that is still an entertaining car to drive is fairly long in the tooth at this point. It’s been on sale since 2009, and it is hard to tell the difference between a few of a brand-new and those versions 2020 370Z. That’s when you know it’s time for a change. IHS Markit principal analyst, Stephanie Brinley, believes Nissan should move along, also.\n\n“It is getting old. I believe some leadership within the next couple of years would be good. I think that it’ll get to the stage that safety compliance issues will need to be addressed,” Brinley told us.\n\nAs for the design of the new automobile, which may be called the 400Z, indicating a possible growth to 4.0 liters of displacement because of its V-6–executives remain coy. The layout is close to being completed but hasn’t yet been locked in, Espinosa said. Nissan must be careful to stay true to the Z’s heritage, that has been adopted by 1.5 million buyers, even as it ushers in a new era of design. Nissan enjoys and recognizes the fire and excitement that has led to many Z clubs and associates who are anxiously anticipating the sports car’s renewal.\n\nThere’s no hard date for a show at this point, but it’s rumored to be a year and a half to 2 years outside still. Nissan has provided us a loyal no comment on everything, but that’s usual for things in this way. We were told that Nissan has plans to introduce 12 new products. There is a chance but we wouldn’t overlook it if a low-profit sports car were postponed.

First, each child was brought into yetzirah (art/creativity) and asked to choose a specific character from the story of Shemot (Exodus) to make a costume for. They were also asked to choose a certain scene that the character appears in to make the outfit for. After children had their character and scene, they were encouraged to revisit our design board (below) to get some inspiration for what kind of things they could be thinking about (color, pattern, etc.). Back in yetzirah, we put out an array of different patterned papers and lots of them! Each child chose some pieces to use for their character’s costume. We prompted them to think about why a certain character would wear what they imagine them to be wearing.\n\nThe next week, Mora Miriam had one-on-one meetings with children. They brought their paper choices and looked at drawn templates to show many different options for clothing shape. Each child said what was most similar to what they had in their imagination and then we tweaked the shape to get as close as possible!

The item is based on a report by the group which tracked the number of ads on “a personal Facebook and Instagram account”.\n\nHost Virginia Trioli didn’t inquire about the sturdiness of the research — though Alcohol Beverages Australia CEO Andrew Wilsmore did raise those questions in an SBS item on the same report, as you would expect.\n\nThere has been a huge amount of speculative reporting on the matter since lockdown started — report after report on what can be expected to happen during isolation, often buttressed with anecdotal evidence and speculation.\n\nOf course, mental health and substance abuse in traumatic times is a real concern.

Like every publication, BuzzFeed News Australia had hits and misses, but its closure is a great loss.

We checked in on Burn Notice — who adopted this persona the day Morrison became PM, by the way — to find that after a hiatus of some months at the end of last year, the man who is two arms-lengths from the Lodge is back and tweeting furiously on the “Obamagate” conspiracy.\n\nThis week he produced a rambling, 27-tweet thread which says little but alludes at a hell of a lot — dark references to the unmasking of elites, asking his 35,000-plus followers to look forward to “The Awakening”.\n\nThe question as ever, remains, does he actually have the PMs ear?\n\nHave you heard a tip or murmur that you’d like to send to Crikey?

[ "The story concerning America’s mercenaries are like a rock in muck that nobody wants to look under for fear of what might come scuttling out. From Major Danny Sjursen at antiwar.com:\n\nThough the bizarre story has been subsumed by other events, last month’s aborted invasion of Venezuela should’ve hardly shocked anyone. The United States has long used mercenaries to do its bidding. They have provided Washington distance and deniability for unsavory operations. During the Cold War, the U.S. hoped this would limit domestic and international protest. Policymakers also discerned mercenary alternatives to bloody, expensive quagmires like the Vietnam or Iraq Wars. Traditionally, most of these hired guns were foreigners – ex-soldiers of declining European empires.\n\nMuch of this parallels the latest Venezuelan affair. However, American mercenaries and the system that produced them, are relatively new. The stillborn coup exposed the blurred line between what’s private and public in modern US warfare. Past and present evidence suggest the phenomenon is here to stay and set to increase.\n\nThere is now little doubt that the Trump administration had foreknowledge of the incursion. It may even have played some part. If America’s regionalhistory is any indicator, it probably did. Washington has long soughtPresident Nicolas Maduro’s overthrow, and recently put a literal bounty on his head. Furthermore, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo all but admitted some role when he announced that the US had “no direct involvement.”\n\nWhy the Obama intelligence assessment on Russia collusion is under investigation, by John Solomon\n\nThere was a criminal conspiracy to depose the president, and it’s now clear who the conspirators were.

From John Solomon at justthenews.com:\n\nJohn Durham, the special prosecutor, is examining the Intelligence Community Assessment as evidence that conflicts with one of its key conclusions keeps mounting.\n\nrecently declassified annex to the Obama administration’s intelligence report on Russian election interference took great pains to make clear it did not use Christopher Steele’s deeply flawed dossier to make any assessments about Moscow’s intentions.\n\nThe Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) found Steele’s evidence “highly politically sensitive” and minimally corroborated and thus not worthy of including in its analysis of Russian election interference, the annex stated.\n\n“We have only limited corroboration of the source reporting in this case and did not use it to reach the analytic conclusions of the CIA/FBI/NSA assessment,” the memo added.\n\nIn retrospect, the exclusion of the Steele dossier in assessing Russian intentions may have been a consequential mistake, since evidence emerged just two weeks after the assessment was made public in early January 2017 that directly conflicted with one of the ICA’s key conclusions.\n\nThere will be no posting on SLL Friday, June 12 through Sunday, June 14.

Most of us don’t need the state. What to do with the sociopaths and psychopaths who want to control other people remains problematic. From Doug Casey at internationalman.com:\n\nRousseau was perhaps the first to popularize the fiction now taught in civics classes about how government was created. It holds that men sat down together and rationally thought out the concept of government as a solution to problems that confronted them. The government of the United States was, however, the first to be formed in any way remotely like Rousseau’s ideal. Even then, it had far from universal support from the three million colonials whom it claimed to represent. The U.S. government, after all, grew out of an illegal conspiracy to overthrow and replace the existing government.\n\nThere’s no question that the result was, by an order of magnitude, the best blueprint for a government that had yet been conceived. Most of America’s Founding Fathers believed the main purpose of government was to protect its subjects from the initiation of violence from any source; government itself prominently included. That made the U.S. government almost unique in history. And it was that concept – not natural resources, the ethnic composition of American immigrants, or luck – that turned America into the paragon it became.\n\nThe origin of government itself, however, was nothing like Rousseau’s fable or the origin of the United States Constitution. The most realistic scenario for the origin of government is a roving group of bandits deciding that life would be easier if they settled down in a particular locale, and simply taxing the residents for a fixed percentage (rather like “protection money”) instead of periodically sweeping through and carrying off all they could get away with. It’s no accident that the ruling classes everywhere have martial backgrounds. Royalty are really nothing more than successful marauders who have buried the origins of their wealth in romance.\n\nEND_OF_DOCUMENT_TOKEN_TO_BE_REPLACED", null, "People who own small businesses put up with government edicts pre-Corona because on the whole it was worth it.\n\nThey complied with the onerous regulations.\n\nThey paid the taxes, including the taxes styled “business licenses” – i.e., the extortion called by a more benign-sounding euphemism, to make it go down easier.", null, "The owner of a gym or restaurant or hair salon is told they must pay out a large sum of money in order to avoid being shut down by goons with guns.

In the 14th century, when chivalry enjoyed a new vogue as a social ideal and the great orders of secular chivalry were founded, the romance writers, to judge from what is known of the voluminous Perceforest written c.\n\nChivalry as an exalted ideal of conduct finds its highest expression in the anonymous Middle English Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight c. Structure The Vulgate Lancelot-Grail cycle displays a peculiar technique of interweaving that enables the author or authors to bring together a large number of originally independent themes.\n\nThe great proliferation of prose romances at the end of the Middle Ages would have been impossible without this peculiarity of structure.\n\nUnlike any work that is wholly true to the Aristotelian principle of indivisibility and isolation or organic unitythe prose romances English medieval romance the first condition, but not the second: In Italy, early prose compilations of Old French epic material from the Charlemagne cycle were subsequently assimilated to the other great bodies of medieval French narrative fiction and infused with the spirit of Arthurian prose romance.\n\nThe serious themes of the Holy Grail and death of Arthur left no mark in Italy. The romantic idealism of Boiardo and Ariosto exploits instead the worldly adventures and the love sentiment of Arthurian prose romance, recounted lightly and with a sophisticated humour.\n\nQuickly translated and adapted into French, Italian, Dutch, and English and followed by numerous sequels and imitations in Spanish and Portuguese, it remained influential for more than four centuries, greatly affecting the outlook and sensibility of western society.\n\nLike the great examples of Romanesque ornamental art, both sculptural and pictorial, the cyclic romances of the late Middle Ages, while showing a strong sense of cohesion, bear no trace whatever of the classical concept of subordination to a single theme: The spread and popularity of romance literature This is as true of medieval romances as of their descendants, including the French and the English 18th-century novel and the pastoral romance, which, at the time of the Renaissance, revived the classical traditions of pastoral poetry and led to the appearance, inof the Arcadia by the Italian poet Jacopo Sannazzaro and, in aboutof the Diana by the Spanish poet and novelist Jorge de Montemayor.\n\nBoth works were widely influential in translation, and each has claims to be regarded as the first pastoral romance, but in spirit Diana is the true inheritor of the romance tradition, giving it, in alliance with the pastoral, a new impetus and direction.\n\nMedieval romance began in the 12th century when clerks, working for aristocratic patrons, often ladies of royal birth such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and her daughters, Marie de Champagne and Matilda, wife of Henry the Lionduke of Saxony, began to write for a leisured and refined society.\n\nLike the courtly lyric, romance was a vehicle of a new aristocratic culture which, based in France, spread to other parts of western Europe. Translations and adaptations of French romances appear early in German: In England many French romances were adapted, sometimes very freely, into English verse and prose from the late 13th to the 15th century; but by far the most important English contribution to the development and popularization of romance was the adaptation of a number of French Arthurian romances completed by Sir Thomas Malory in —70 and published in by William Caxton under the title of Le Morte Darthur.\n\nIn the Scandinavian countries the connection with the Angevin rulers of England led to importation of French romances in the reign —63 of Haakon of Norway. The decline of romance As has been seen, in the later Middle Ages the prose romances were influential in France, Italy, and Spain, as well as in England; and the advent of the printed book made them available to a still wider audience.\n\nBut although they continued in vogue into the 16th century, with the spread of the ideals of the New Learning, the greater range and depth of vernacular literatureand the rise of the neoclassical critics, the essentially medieval image of the perfect knight was bound to change into that of the scholar-courtier, who, as presented by the Italian Baldassare Castiglione in his Il Cortegiano publishedembodies the highest moral ideals of the Renaissance.\n\nThe new Spanish romances continued to enjoy international popularity until well into the 17th century and in France gave rise to compendious sentimental romances with an adventurous, pastoral, or pseudo-historical colouring popular with Parisian salon society until c.\n\nThese preserved something of the outward form of romance but little of its spirit; and while they transmitted the name to the kind of narrative fiction that succeeded them, they were in no sense intermediaries between its old and its new connotations. Only in England and Germany did it find a home with poets and novelists.\n\nTo Hurd, romance is not truth but a delightful and necessary holiday from common sense.

She has always photographed the substance of daily life.", null, "Edwynn Houk Gallery will present an exhibition of new color photographs by Elinor Carucci (Israeli, b. 1971), from the artist’s newest series, Mother, from March 27-May 3, 2014. There will be an opening reception and book signing with the artist on Thursday, March 27th, from 6-8pm.\n\nThe Israeli-born photographer Elinor Carucci made her name by training a lens on herself and her husband, parents, and siblings—a theme first brought to public attention with her monograph Closer. The body of work featured in this forceful new series began approximately a decade ago, when she was pregnant with her now nine-year-old twins, Eden and Emmanuelle. She has always photographed the substance of daily life, and this work is no exception, inviting us to participate in the most tender interactions between a mother and her children. From candid depictions of pregnancy to captivating images of her son and daughter at rest and at play, Carucci’s photographs display an intimacy that can be startling. Yet the emotions they reveal are universal, familiar to anyone who has experienced parenthood or spends time with young children. She records her family’s routines and crises with profound honesty: an infant’s fragility; fleeting childhood pleasures; a parent’s hollow-eyed fatigue; tears, runny noses, and scars. The drama of these domestic scenes is heightened by Carucci’s nuanced use of chiaroscuro, direct light, and extreme close-ups.\n\nElinor Carucci was born in 1971 in Jerusalem, Israel, and moved to New York City in 1995. Her solo shows include the Edwynn Houk Gallery (New York), the Sasha Wolf Gallery (New York), and Gagosian Gallery (London), and her group shows include The Museum of Modern Art (New York) and The Photographers' Gallery (London). Her photographs are included in the collections of such institutions as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Brooklyn Museum, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and her work has also appeared in The New Yorker, New York Magazine, W, Aperture, ARTnews, and The New York Times Magazine. She was awarded the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award for Young Photographers in 2001, the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2002, and the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in 2012. Carucci has published two monographs, Closer (2002) and Diary of a Dancer (2005). Carucci currently teaches at the graduate program of the School of Visual Arts.\n\nThe newest monograph, Mother, published by Prestel, with a Foreward written by Francine Prose, was on the New York Times list of 10 Best Photo Books of the Year, and on the Los Angeles Times Photo Book Roundup of the 5 Best Photography Books of 2013." ]

[ "Why grouping games feel harder and what to do about it", null, "Many of my LSAT tutoring students at the moment are in the early stages of their prep, which means a lot of focusing on the fundamentals, especially in Logic Games. One of the common complaints I’ve been hearing is that the grouping games feel a lot harder than the linear (or sequencing games). So I wanted to share my thoughts about why this may be the case and what to do about it.\n\nWhat are grouping games?\n\nFirst, a general definition. Grouping games are ones that ask you to sort entities into categories. You may be grouping children into teams for field day, or perhaps you are sorting flowers into three different zones in your garden. You may be told how many children or flowers go in each group, or that may be flexible, but regardless, it’s all about sorting into groups.\n\nLinear games, by contrast, involve a different type of sorting. Here, you’re ordering the entities. You’ll have words like “before,” “after,” “first,” “last,” and “position 3.” You may be ordering people by age, or books by where they appear on the bookshelf. Occasionally, you’ll have a twist, like two entities that can occur together (ex: two people with the same age). But despite the twists, it’s all about putting things in order.\n\nWhy do grouping games feel harder?\n\nWe can see this in both the general setups and in the rules. In the rest of this post, we’ll discuss these two topics separately, and I’ll give you some suggestions that have helped my students deal with these difficulties.\n\nEven though grouping games all involve sorting entities into groups, there is a lot of variation on the LSAT about how exactly that takes place.\n\nWe’re almost always told how many groups there are, but we may not be told how many entities fit in each group. In some games, the groups may be all the same size, but in other games, one group might be bigger or smaller than another group. You may be told explicitly that one group is always bigger, or it may vary.\n\nHere are some examples:\n\n“A class of 9 students is to be divided into three groups of three students each for a group project. The groups are the Shakespeare group, the Chaucer group, and the Beowulf group.”\n\nIn this case, we know the size of each group and the groups are all the same size. And mathematically, it all works. Three groups x three students each = our 9 students.\n\n“A class of 9 students is to be divided into three groups for a group project: the Shakespeare group, the Chaucer group, and the Beowulf group. Each student must be assigned to only one group, and each group must have at least one student. The Shakespeare group is larger than either of the other two groups.”\n\nIn this case, we don’t know the sizes of each group, but we do know that the Shakespeare group is the big one.\n\n“A class of 9 students is to be divided into three groups for a group project: the Shakespeare group, the Chaucer group, and the Beowulf group. Each student must be assigned to only one group, and each group must have at least one student.”\n\nIn this case, things are less defined. The groups might be the same size, but they might also be different. And if they are different, it seems like any of the three groups has the potential for being the big group. It’ll probably change, question by question.\n\n“A class of 9 students is to be divided into three groups for a group project: the Shakespeare group, the Chaucer group, and the Beowulf group. Each student must be assigned to only one group.”\n\nHere, we don’t even know if every group has a student in it. Maybe no one signed up for the Beowulf group and so it’s empty.\n\nAnother aspect of the setup for many grouping games is that we may also be allowed to repeat entities. In other words, we could have a person join one group, multiple groups, or even no groups.\n\n“Sally, Thomas, Ursula, William, and Xavier are eligible to sign up for extracurricular activities. The activities offered are soccer, band, and debate. Each student must sign up for at least one activity.”\n\nThe “at least one” makes a big difference here. (Compare to the “Each student must be assign to only one group” in the group project examples above.) Here, we can have Sally join one, two, or three different activities. We don’t know how many times we’ll be adding her to our diagram, unless rules or a question stem tells us.\n\nHere too, we can have a person assigned to multiple groups, although we’re prohibited from having that person join all three extracurricular activities. But the bigger twist here is that “at most two” includes zero. So we can also have someone decide to join NONE of the activities.\n\nHow to deal with grouping game setups\n\nWith all of these variations, it’s important to go into grouping game setups armed. You don’t want to not notice that a group can be empty or that entities can be repeated, for example.\n\nHere’s a checklist of questions I give my students so that they can walk themselves through the possibilities:\n\nIf you routinely ask yourself these questions during the setup stage, you’ll set yourself up for success because you’ll better notice the possibilities that would otherwise be easy to overlook.\n\nSo far, we’ve been talking about how the setup of grouping games often makes them seem harder than linear games. The rules are the second major source of difficulty.\n\nGrouping games tend to have far more conditional reasoning rules than linear games do. Even if you’re great at diagramming formal logic and forming your contrapositives, the conditionality of the rules can lead to some difficulty.\n\nRules like “H and G must be together” or “P is either in spot 1 or spot 7” apply globally. You never have to ask yourself whether that rule is active or not in a particular question because they are always active.\n\nIt can be difficult for students to think through which rules are active and while rules don’t apply in a particular question. Especially if you have five or six conditional rules in a game.\n\nSome students are tempted to apply the rules backward. (In the example above, that would mean seeing T in Zone 2, and assuming that W must have been in Zone 1. When actually, T being in Zone 2 makes the rule irrelevant, so W is free to do whatever.)\n\nOther students get stuck in seemingly endless loops checking and double-checking if they’ve applied all the rules. They check the rules, check the contrapositives, and then double check them all if they’ve found that anything gets triggered. They leave each question not knowing if they applied the rules right.\n\nHow to do deal with it\n\nIf you have multiple formal logic rules, line up the arrows so that you can basically scan down the list. Anything in the left-hand column before the arrows is a trigger. You can then scan that list of triggers to see what applies in a question.\n\nScanning in this way helps reduce the temptation to read the rules backward.\n\nAnd to help you deal with the difficulty of knowing when you are actually done applying the rules, I’d like to share a flowchart I created for a student recently.", null, "Basically, here’s how it goes:\n\nThat last point about moving on to any rules that haven’t been applied yet may mean returning to a rule that you skipped before since it wasn’t triggered yet. If the rule still doesn’t get triggered, then you can fully and safely ignore it for the rest of the question. That rule is not in play for this question.\n\nOnce you’ve either applied each rule or determined it to be irrelevant for the question, you’re done with that rule and you don’t need to keep checking it.\n\nIf you’ve found this discussion of grouping games helpful, I’d suggest creating a flashcard or a post-it note with some of the tips that resonated with you the most.\n\nThen try out a couple of grouping games with these notes in front of you. Actively work on applying these strategies to the game, and see if that helps.\n\nAnd if you still feel stuck, no shame. No one was born knowing how to do logic games, and it takes some getting used to. I’d invite you to schedule a free consultation so we can troubleshoot together and get you on the path to achieving your LSAT goal." ]

[ null, "Ever hear the one about the Irishman who quit his job and just up and left Dublin one day for Italy and arrived in Rome without speaking a single word of Italian?\n\nIt’s no joke, it’s the true story of Paddy Agnew, a Rome-based journalist for the Irish Times and author of the new book, “Forza Italia — A Journey In Search of Italy and Its Football.”\n\nTired of life in dreary and cold Ireland, Agnew walked away from the security of a fulltime job as a sports editor of a local newspaper, packed his bags and along with his future wife Dympna set off for Italy.\n\nWhen they arrived in late 1985, they couldn’t understand the language or culture, and it didn’t take them long to develop doubts about their Italian renaissance. The couple couldn’t find a flat, had no money, no friends, and quickly discovered that the day-to-day efficiency of Dublin didn’t exist in Italy — cashing an Irish income tax rebate check at the local bank took six weeks.\n\nEventually they adjusted to the rhythm of Italian life, mastered the language, raised a daughter, and found la dolce vita and professional success. Agnew freelanced for several years before becoming Vatican correspondent for the Irish Times, a position he holds to this day.\n\nAside from being a “Northern Prod” who covers the hallowed Vatican beat, Agnew is also an expert on Italian football. He’s served as an English-language commentator on Serie A matches for state broadcaster RAI for the past 15 years and has covered Italian football for a slew of other news organizations.\n\nAgnew’s Italian adventure is a fascinating tale, one he re-tells with humor and charm in “Forza Italia.” Though football is the book’s premise, it reads more like Peter Mayle’s “A Year in Provence,” intertwining stories of Maradona and Juventus with his own personal reflections on Italian life and society.\n\nThoughtful and poignant, “Forza Italia” is Agnew’s personal survey of a country where football rivals Catholicism as the main faith, told from the unique perspective of an adopted Roman.\n\nAgnew chatted with John F. Molinaro. These are excerpts from their conversation.\n\nYou dedicate an entire chapter to last season’s Genoa-Venezia match fixing scandal in Serie B and point out that the investigation that brought it to light “owed nothing to the vigilance of the football authorities and everything to do with the professionalism of two Genoa-based investigating magistrates.” What do you make of the current investigation into Juventus, which came about in the same way?\n\nThere is a huge similarity between the Genoa case and the way the current Juventus scandal has broken. From one point of view, this is only normal. For a start, magistrates have the power to tap phones, search buildings and offices, and check bank accounts — something football federation investigators and disciplinary commissions lack. Yet, the reality is, and I point this out in the book, that Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo [of Juventus] have been at the center of intense speculation for years vis-a-vis their modus operandi. How come the federation did nothing about them? Worse still, how come senior federation officials such as [Innocenzo] Mazzini appear, via the phone taps, to have been hand in glove with Moggi and his match-fixing schemes? This is far bigger than the Genoa case. One suspects that this is the most serious scandal since the 1980 betting scandal. First, we’re not talking about match-fixing, but championship-fixing, rigging an entire season. Second, the scandal appears to involve just about everyone: big clubs, refs, federation officials, TV commentators, and journalists. This one seems destined to run and run.\n\nHow did you come to write “Forza Italia?”\n\nI had in mind for a long time to write a book, just on the basis of living in Italy for so long. Random House rang me up one day and asked if I would be interested in writing one. They wanted a book that dealt with the history of Italian football, and would run through Italian football today — the big clubs, the fans, the national team — in a very predictable format. But I wanted to write something much more personal… My idea was to sum up my experiences and my opinion about the way things are in Italy, about the nature of society and the extent to which the nature of that society is reflected in its football.\n\nWhy did you and your wife move to Italy?\n\nWhen we left [Dublin] we were in black-and-white, Catholic Church dominated, recession-ridden, pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland. It was a different Ireland than it is today. We just wanted to get out. I wanted to go to France, she wanted to go to Spain, so we compromised and went to Italy (laughs). I had an idea already that it would work out because I could see two immediate sources of work: football and the Vatican. The era of Berlusconi has made Italian politics, for better or worse, very interesting, and its become another valuable news source.\n\nHow hard was it to adjust to Italian life?\n\nMy first year was major culture shock in the sense that I had been the sports editor for a Sunday paper in Dublin. I was very busy, the phone was ringing all the time — I was in my own world and I knew where I was. So to move to somewhere like Italy where all of a sudden the phone wasn’t ringing — I didn’t even have a phone to ring — was hard. I went from a staff job with security to nothing.\n\nI didn’t expect people in Rome to be as difficult to deal with in terms of looking for a flat or at the bank or buying a car. All of that stuff drove me mad at the beginning. There was a market in a piazza where we first lived and I remember going into the bakery to get some bread and I took my place in the queue. But this is Italy and nobody waits in line, they just cut in front of you, and everybody always jumped ahead of me and it would always take me half an hour to get my bread. After a few weeks I started using my height, weight, and elbows to fight my way to the front (laughs).\n\nYou write that football is “encoded in the DNA” of Italians. Why does it matter so much?\n\nHistorically, the tradition of spectacle has always been important in Italy. It’s a culture where what goes on in public really matters, public perception matters — the idea of bella figura. Spectacle also matters, and by extension football matters because it is a great spectacle. The other thing about football is that it’s a meritocracy. In Italy, a lot of people instinctively feel [suspicious] of a guy who gets named director of the local bank or the local hospital because they don’t know if he has the skills to do it or if he landed the job through raccomandazione.\n\nBut in football, if someone gets picked to play in goal for Juventus and the he starts letting in a lot of goals, you can quickly see he doesn’t have the skill for the job. You can’t hide [any shortcomings] on the football pitch. Football offers an element of clarity to it that everyday life in Italy doesn’t.\n\nWhat are Italy’s chances of winning the World Cup in Germany?\n\nI think they’re very good. They have a difficult group — the U.S., Ghana and Czech Republic are not easy sides. The U.S. is a very good team, well prepared and very well coached. [American coach] Bruce Arena knows his football. Ghana is well-organized and they have some useful players — Michael Essien [of Chelsea] and [Udinese’s] Sulley Muntari. Ghana will be tough and Italy could even end up playing Brazil in the second round. Those are all the problems.\n\nThe plus factor for Italy is Marcello Lippi is an excellent coach. From day one, he opted to put together a side of players who would run for one another, work for another, and who believe in the common cause. He values the overall team mentality, and that’s more important in a tournament like this than the sheer technical skills of one or two brilliant individual players.\n\nWithin days of the match, the Genoa victory celebrations had turned sour. Newspaper reports were suggesting that the game was “suspect.” Media suspicion had been aroused when, on the Tuesday following the match, Venezia’s general manager, Giuseppe Pagliara, had been stopped at a “routine” police checkpoint, just minutes after he drove his KIA car out of the headquarters of the toy manufacturing company, Giochi Preziosi, owned by the Genoa president and based at Colgiate, near Milan. In the car, police found a brief case containing €250,000. Pagliara was unable to explain how he had come by the money or for what purpose it was intended. Subsequently, he explained that the money was part-payment for the transfer to Genoa of Venezia defender Ruben Maldonaldo.\n\nBy Friday, 17 June, less than one week after the match, media reports claimed that the Procura di Genova was investigating into possible “sporting fraud” carried out by the Genoa club and by President Preziosi. One week later, the sports papers were carrying the transcript of various conversations, including one in which Matteo Preziosi, son of Enrico, invited Pagliara to drop round to the Giochi Preziosi headquarters to “settle things.”\n\nMedia speculation then suggested that another of the Serie A promotion candidates, Torino, might be involved. It was reported that the former Torino player and sports director, Roberto Cravero (rumored to be heading for a job with Genoa), had alerted Genoa to the fact that Torino had been in contact with Venezia with a view to encouraging them to give it their all against Genoa. If media reports were to be believed,\n\nVenezia were much in demand. Genoa were busy persuading them to lose, while Torino were encouraging them to win.\n\nClearly, yet another nasty Italian-style football scandal was brewing. Not for the first time, the initiation of this particular investigation owed nothing to the vigilance (or lack of) of the football authorities and everything to the professionalism of two Genoa-based investigating magistrates.\n\nIn April 2005, state attorneys, Alberto Lari and Giovanni Arena, were investigating a credit card fraud, which had already led to the arrest of three people in France, when their authorized police taps accidentally led them into football. One of those involved in the credit card fraud was also a heavy gambler, of the sort who operates in the world of clandestine betting. The two magistrates quickly realized that some skullduggery was afoot in relation to the Genoa versus Venezia game and were given authorization to tap the phones of both Genoa and Venezia officials as well as to place bugs in the Novotel Hotel, Genoa, where the Venezia team stayed prior to the game. It was the content of these phone taps that prompted the magistrates to open an investigation with a view to charging various Genoa and Venezia officials with ‘sporting fraud’.\n\nWithin two weeks of the match, General Italo Pappa, head of FIGC’s investigations office, had paid a visit to the two young magistrates in Genoa. He traveled back to Rome with a weighty dossier, containing transcripts of the incriminating conversations.\n\nWhile the State judicial processes would inevitably be lengthy, the sports disciplinary body could not afford to wait. After all, the new Serie A season was only two months away.\n\nAbout the Author: John Molinaro" ]

[ null, "Very rarely do we catch a mainstream press headline that promises anything beyond what we might politely call ‘conventional wisdom’.\n\nIn fact, for the most part, we look past the stream of ‘news’ penned by Australia’s best-known financial commentators. That’s not to say we’re ignorant of mainstream finance opinion — just that it’s rare for us to catch them offering any useful, actionable advice.\n\nBut your editor couldn’t help reading on this week. At long last, an establishment news outlet promised to subvert our thinking with some original advice.\n\nIf there’s one thing we value at Money Morning, it’s unusual, thoughtful investment ideas. That’s why this mainstream headline piqued our interest. But as we read on, we realised we shouldn’t have bothered…\n\nYesterday, we spotted the Australian Financial Review running with this headline: ‘Australian small caps no cheaper than blue chips’.\n\nIf there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s researching and tipping small stocks that outperform the Australian share market. And in the small-cap sector, cheap valuations are a major drawcard.\n\nHere’s what we mean. Right now, the benchmark for large-cap shares — the S&P/ASX 200 [ASX:XJO] index — trades at a forward price-earnings (P/E) ratio of around 17 times. That means if you were to buy a basket of Australia’s 200 biggest stocks, for each share you’d pay an average of around 17 times the earnings per share that the company is expected to generate in the coming year.\n\n‘Expected by whom?,’ you might ask. Well, expected by the research analysts who work for an arbitrary bunch of stockbroking firms and investment banks. We’ll put aside the fact that these analysts can rarely forecast earnings with much accuracy — which calls the entire notion of forward P/E ratios into question. That’s a topic for another day. It’s enough for us to note that 17 times future earnings is an above-average valuation.\n\nMeanwhile, in the small-cap sector, sometimes you can nab stocks trading for as little as eight time…six times…or even less than five times the earnings they may generate in the coming year.\n\nIf you’re like us, when you find a tiny stock changing hands for just a few times its earnings, you can’t help but mentally run through the potential rewards. So when we saw yesterday’s small-cap story in the Fin Review, the prospect of learning that this had been a sham all along was enticing enough for us to click on the headline.\n\nAlas, the story turned out to be clickbait. That’s what we call a web article that exploits your curiosity about a sensational headline — then fails to deliver on its promise…\n\nThe horse has bolted\nHere’s the article’s main problem: it defines ‘small-cap’ as anything that lies inside the ASX 300 but outside the top 100. Excuse us, but those aren’t small-caps…they’re genuine mid-caps.\n\nThe author cites companies like APN Outdoor Group Ltd [ASX:APO], McMillan Shakespeare Ltd [ASX:MMS] and iiNet Ltd [ASX:IIN] as potentially attractive small-caps. They may well be successful companies — but you won’t catch us tipping stocks like that in Australian Small-Cap Investigator.\n\nThese firms already sport market valuations of $540 million, $930 million and $1.4 billion respectively. Companies that have already become so big don’t offer the supercharged growth prospects we aim to bring you. Your editor would much rather deliver you the next APN or iiNet at a tiny fraction of the price tag.\n\nTypically, ‘challenger’ companies that lurk deep in the small-cap sector trade at deep discounts to their large-cap peers. The stocks we track are so far under the Fin Review’s radar that they don’t even warrant inclusion in their articles about ‘small-caps’…and that’s the way we like it.\n\nIf things play out as we expect, the tiny speculative stocks on our buy list could hit the big time in 2015 — and if you can tolerate the risk of owning them, buying ahead of their success can bring you fabulous riches.\n\nThese stocks will keep running\nLook, we don’t have all day to slag off the Fin Review. To be fair, it can often be a handy source of factual info. And the article we’ve just dissected did get one thing right about small-caps.\n\nIt pointed out that stocks in this sector are still poised to benefit from investors’ thirst for income, as long as interest rates stay low.\n\nInvestors’ chase for stocks that have paid or may raise dividends has led all the way to the small end of town. This trend shows no signs of slowing. That makes now the perfect time for us to launch a brand-new dividend stock advisory service.\n\nKeep an eye on your email later this week. Once we unveil your new income advisory newsletter, we’re sure it will become an indispensable weapon in your investing arsenal. Make sure you check it out." ]

I now know and have a great idea of what to expect the next two races and understand what we need to do to keep fighting.\"\n\nTaylor doesn't believe any one team or set of drivers has the inside track to this year's title.\n\n\"Everyone in this championship can win races and win the championship; everyone,\" he said. \"It is now just down to who has the best final two races.

[ "It’s been five years since Friends Publishing Corporation launched a companion project to Friends Journal: the QuakerSpeak video series. In that time, over two million people have tuned in to watch its short videos about Quaker practice, theology, activism, history, and ministry. It has given an online face to modern-day Friends.\n\nThere were Quaker videos on YouTube before this of course. Some vloggers had lined up webcams to give their personal ten-minute takes on Quaker faith or practice. A few short-lived projects put out a half dozen videos filmed at Quaker events. Various Quaker organizations had put cameras on tripods and recorded speeches from the middle row 30 feet back. Kudos to everyone who has done this—so many people don’t know about Quakers or think we died out in 1750, so online Quaker content of any type is awesome.\n\nThe reason for much of QuakerSpeak’s success is that it was YouTube-native in a way that previous projects weren’t. Videographer and project director Jon Watts comes from a music background and studied successful YouTube video channels before launching. The format, the length, and the weekly schedule of QuakerSpeak were all designed to appeal to YouTube subscribers from the start. With institutional backing from Friends Publishing and support from foundations and sponsoring partners, QuakerSpeak could get the equipment, contacts, and time to make this the first professional Quaker YouTube channel.\n\nTo be honest, we here on the magazine side of the Friends Publishing family sometimes get a little jealous of the direct connections that can be made in a short 5-10 minute video. Viewers don’t just get the words and ideas but also a look into the presence and personality of the interviewee. I love to watch the ways eyes dance between mischief, awe, sadness, and mirth as a story unfolds. The way these Friends sit and the different movements (or non-movements) of their arms and hands give an added dimension you don’t get from type alone.\n\nIn August Friends Journal will look back at five years of QuakerSpeak. As proper Quakers we’re a bit wary of numbered anniversaries, so we’re not fishing for platitudes or glowing testimonials. We want to know how the series has inspired or challenged you and how it’s fed into the spiritual life and outreach efforts at your Friends meeting. Here are some ideas we’re looking for:\n\nSubmit a piece for our issue: QuakerSpeak at Five\n\nLearn more general information at Friendsjournal.org/submissions.

Underpowered and underprepared, you must scavenge resources, improvise solutions and use your wits, not just to succeed in your mission, but to simply stay alive.”\n\nThe initial listing also noted the inclusion of four player online and co-operative multiplayer, but no firm details of how extensive this would be.\n\nAfter removing the listing, Xbox Games Store re-uploaded the game to their system this morning, removing the synopsis and references to the multiplayer portion of the game. Whether this means the information was false, or whether it was not supposed to be released at this moment in time though is anybody’s guess.\n\nWhat it did include however, was a good look at the games design of the Alien, which you can see below:", null, "What are hoping for from this game?

[ null, "1970. The first episode of TV’s “All My Children” was broadcast. A few iconic cars made their debut: AMC introduced the Gremlin, the Chevy Vega was rolled out, and we saw the Ford Pinto for the first time. Paul McCartney announced that The Beatles are breaking up. Apollo 13 blasted off towards the Moon, only to have an oxygen tank explode that forced the crew to abort the mission, and return safety to earth a few days later, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. The first Earth Day was celebrated in the United States. President Richard Nixon signed a measure lowering the voting age to 18. And PBS began broadcasting.\n\nIn September of 1970, I would have been entering the 2nd grade at Sibley Elementary School in Grand Rapids, MI. There was a new teacher on the staff that year. Her name was Mrs. Spencer. She would be teaching a split 2nd/3rd grade class. When class assignments came around — my name was called to go to her class.\n\nMrs. Spencer, and her two boys, had just recently moved to Grand Rapids from Indiana. Even at the age of 7 I remember noticing her accent when she talked. I think it was my first realization that people from other parts of the country talked differently than us Michiganders.\n\nBack in those days, teachers were looked at as iconic figures… role models. People that student and parent alike looked up to. Sadly that’s not the case as much today. I remember how, as students, we never really got to know much about our teachers. They were in their classroom with us every day, but we didn’t know anything about their personal life…were they married, how many kids did they have, where did they live? Mrs. Spencer was the first teacher that broke that barrier for me.\n\nShe had two sons, Jay and Todd. Jay was a year younger than me. Mrs. Spencer introduced me to Jay in hopes of helping him find some new friends in his new hometown and school. Jay and I became great childhood friends. Mrs. Spencer and her boys lived just a block or so away. It was the first time I ever visited a teacher’s home, or knew anything about teacher’s family. It was almost like visiting the home of a celebrity the first couple of times I went to their home. It was so weird to see Mrs. Spencer in casual clothes instead of the business dress she wore to work to teach her class.\n\nI remember sitting at their house and listing to Jay’s 45 rpm record of The Tokens “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. We spent a lot of time together. At one point my mother, Gloria, babysat for both Jay and his younger brother Todd while Mrs. Spencer was a work.\n\nOne moment from Mrs. Spencer’s class that has stuck with me all these years is when she tried to teach me about accents and how many syllables a word had. She had a tough time convincing me that “Scott” was only one syllable. In my mind, it wasn’t just “SCOT”, but there was an extra “T” so as far as I was concerned it was supposed to be pronounced “SCOT-ta”, with the accent on that first syllable. Don’t be short changing that second “T” in my name! It was there for a reason and I wanted to hear it pronounced!!\n\nA few years later the Spencers moved to the other side of town. Jay and I kept in touch a few times, but it was tough arranging for an adult to drive us back and forth so that we could hang out. Over the years, everyone kind of lost touch with each other. It’s been probably 45 years since I’ve seen, or talked to, Mrs. Spencer.\n\nWith social media, like Facebook, I was able to reconnect with Jay and Todd. I was also able to tell them to let their mother know I said “hello” from time to time, and wish her a “Happy Birthday” every year.\n\nIf I had to compile a list of my top teachers, she would easily have been in the top 5. I found out today that Mrs. Martha (Spencer) Whiteman has passed away. I will always be grateful for the lessons I learned, both in, and out, of the classroom from Mrs. Spencer and her family." ]

[ "Republic Airways plays it closer to the chest than usual\n\nIt has always been difficult getting information out of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. Ask any analyst covering the company how difficult it is. That may simply be its strategy on how to handle inquiring minds. But this is a public company, one that has attracted much interest in the last few years as it loaned out millions of dollars to partners, later acquiring both Midwest and Frontier airlines and 10 ERJ 190s in return...\n\nRepublic's lack of transparency just deteriorated further when it failed to webcast CEO Bryan Bedford’s remarks before the Raymond James Airline Growth conference last week. Instead, it offered up the Power Point presentation, which was almost a mirror image of the presentation given in December at the NextGen conference, but not quite. See related report: Republic Airways provides clearest vision yet of consolidation strategy\n\nBedford revealed much about what it was doing with its growing empire in December and, last week, in a press release announced the death of Lynx Aviation – no surprise there – and the return of its Q400s which are being replaced with the ERJ 170s and 190s. The aircraft will be flying to more far flung markets than those served by the Q400s although all but two points have been dropped from the system. See related report: Q400s out of Frontier, Embraers in\n\nBut perhaps the transparency afforded in December troubled the airline enough to make it decide not to webcast the Raymond James speech. In its presentation, the company repeated that its branded network is larger in revenues at USD1.7 billion than its capacity purchase operations at USD1 billion, but noted the latter was very stable, with contracts expiring in 2012.\n\nHowever, that is the near term when it comes to such deals and it may see changed remuneration on these contracts which could jeopardize its normal regional airline partner operating margin of over 8%. Even so, the 2012 contract only involves 15 of the 50-seat RJs for Continental; and the rest of the contracts stretch out until 2020.\n\nThe first half of this year is expected to be rough, given the many issues on which it much decide, including a new aircraft, completing the Midwest/Frontier synergies. It is also considering what to do about bundling or unbundling fares and fees. This would take about six to eight months because of the new technology necessitated by such a move. For now, both branded operations – which are increasingly becoming one with different liveries - have a la carte options; but only Frontier offers bundled fares.\n\nThe company must also choose a booking engine that would allow it to “harvest more synergies.” Once duplicative IT facilities and back office functions are resolved in mid-2010, the company expects to save USD10 million. It is hoping to gain new job synergies in Milwaukee given the higher taxes in Denver. It is also working on moving away from GDSs in favor of the company’s website and call center, a move that would realize USD8 million in distribution fees and commissions in the branded network. This will be coupled with about USD10 million in network revenue opportunity by mid-2010 as it rolls out its integration plan.\n\nOther items on the agenda include choosing which alliance it will keep. A long time Delta connection partner, Republic must choose between Midwest’s deal with Delta, originally forged with Northwest, or the minimal reservations linkage between Frontier and AirTran. The bets are leaning toward Delta - but with Republic it is anyone’s guess. In the meantime, Midwest and Frontier began codesharing on 5-Jan-2010, which is expected to continue through the first half.\n\nThe company is working with Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier – for its CSeries – on its aircraft needs and it expects to make a fleet decision in the first quarter. And, just as United took advantage of ordering aircraft at the bottom of the cycle, so, too, will Republic. Rationalizing its business as well as the number of aircraft types provides additional opportunity to improve the company’s financials in 2010. It expects to save USD27 million just with fleet rationalization next year.\n\nWith the A319, Frontier has a decided cost advantage over the B737 operated by both Southwest and AirTran, which are at least in the same ballpark, according to Republic. However, its advantage over United’s A319 is huge, at USD2,700 per block hour compared to United’s USD3,500.", null, null, "The incumbent at Frontier is Airbus, a great product and customers love it, CFO Hal Cooper said last December. “Airbus has committed to lower operating costs for future deliveries and we believe it represents a long-term opportunity for any consolidation that may come in the airline industry,” he said. “Boeing has also committed to improve the fuel burn of the 737-700/800 and it offers a longer range and the potential opportunity for new markets in any airline consolidation.\n\n“Interestingly, we are evaluating the Bombardier CSeries,” he continued, noting its 140-passenger capacity. “They are marketing a 15% or higher lower fuel burn, lower acquisition costs, better operating costs, better mission capability and a higher degree of passenger comfort. That is a very interesting aircraft to us and, unlike Boeing or Airbus, we can tap into some very attractive export financing through the EDC there.”\n\nDespite Air Tran’s insistence that Midwest is losing market share, the airline actually gained a point since Republic first revealed the statistics in December. Midwest had a 34.1% market share as of October 2009 and that share is up to 35.1 year-end December, according to Republic. It still has a lot of building to do to get back to 53% of the market enjoyed in 2007. Making that tougher is the ambitious competition laid on by both AirTran and Southwest. Both have pointed to the Northern Illinois/Chicago market as growth opportunities.", null, "Denver shows a similar story with Frontier losing market share with 22% down from its Nov-2008 high of 24.7%, still not bad given the competition. Meanwhile, it is basically holding its own against United which has dropped from 54% in Nov-2007 to 45.6% last year. United is still clearly the 900-pound gorilla in the market. But Southwest nearly tripled its share during that time from only 6% to 15.95% in Nov-2009.", null, "Mr Cooper indicated Republic Airways Holdings would finish the year with USD325 million and USD2.7 billion in debt, with all but USD50 million, secured by aircraft. “We expect to increase our book value per share during the fourth quarter by 15% to USD16.43 per share,” he said.\n\nAnother question frequently asked of the company is how it thinks about cash and what it needs to operate the company. “For the fixed-fee business we use a metric of about 10% of trailing 12-month revenue which is about USD100 million,” said Cooper. “I could argue it is lower because it is a stable business which produces a consistent cash flow. On the branded business, if you want to say 20% is a more acceptable amount of trailing revenues, that’s an additional USD340 million for a total about USD450 million. That USD325 million is short of that so clearly we want to build cash revenues in 2010.\n\n“I should point out that we have no aircraft financial obligations is 2010, no unusual debt obligations and we have a combined business that is going to produce positive cash flow,” he continued. “So we don’t feel compelled to go to market to raise cash. We’re open to it, but we’re not compelled to and we think we have enough cash to run the business. But if you look at cash on comparative basis – and it is important to look at the total cash balance – we are the only airline that has credit card hold backs of 100%. Actually we acquired two credit card processors which is good news since they are both on short-term agreements and we are negotiating a long-term agreement. Republic also has a strong record of earnings. This year you will see a significant dip as we transition the branded business to a consolidated platform with synergies improving that in 2010. It will mostly come in the second half of the year as we transition in Q1 and Q2.”\n\nConsolidation to hinder expansion; bad news for the RJs\n\nIn last week’s presentation, Republic noted that growth prospects are limited by industry consolidation. It pointed out that there are fewer hubs with the reconfiguration of domestic networks. It expects more legacy consolidation in the future. And, despite enough capacity to equal the size of a US Airways having been removed from the market since 2007, much more remains to be done if airlines hope to wrest control of pricing.\n\nParticularly vulnerable, according to Republic, is the 50-seat RJ market which is in oversupply, forcing declining margin trends. Republic agrees that future growth will come from poaching market share from other airlines rather than by organic growth opportunities. For that reason, the share gains will come at the cost of lower margins.\n\nRepublic expects to scope relief in the coming wave of labor contracts, limiting the expansion opportunities for larger RJs in the 70+-seat range.\n\nRepublic is expected to report 2009 and fourth quarter earnings in the coming weeks. Its guidance for 2010 shows flat passenger revenue per available seat mile for its branded capacity on a capacity increase of 8%-10%. Meanwhile, fixed fee capacity will drop 7%-9% with total revenues amounting to USD2.7 billion by the end of this year. It also expects a range of USD24 million to USD51 million in pre-tax income in 2010 with EPS at between USD0.42 to USD0.92, with USD0.66 coming at the midpoint. 1Q2010 it will be between 40 and 50 cents, and 20-30 cents in the second quarter.\n\nIts business plan assumes USD2.48 per gallon all in for the year or about USD82 per barrel. It is about 25% hedged for each of the second and third quarters. Its fuel consumption will be about 238MM. For the company, each USD1 move per barrel spot price equals USD5.5 million swing in annual costs.\n\nWith declining margins, everyone is becoming highly sensitive to fuel costs." ]

[ null, "Shropshire start-up Earth Rover, a firm aiming to use technology to help farmers improve crop yields, has raised a quarter of a million pounds.\n\nThe funding will enable Earth Rover to launch its first product, a ‘crop scouting’ system which predicts the size and timing of harvests.\n\nThe Earth Rover system uses cameras fitted to a tractor to scan the plants and measure their growth as the vehicle passes through the fields on routine farm operations. The data is then analysed using artificial intelligence (AI) housed in a supercomputer on board the tractor.\n\nCrop scouting is traditionally carried out by farmers walking the field. Earth Rover aims to provide more accurate predictions to help them produce the right number of crops – enough to meet contracts with buyers while avoiding food waste that has to be ploughed back into the fields. It also helps farmers plan their harvesting labour requirements.\n\nThe system, which is suitable for high value crops such as broccoli and lettuce, is currently being trialled at Polybell Farm in Doncaster, one of the UK’s leading organic vegetable producers.\n\nEarth Rover will initially target growers in the UK and Spain, which has a year-round season. The company, which has been funded so far through angel investment and by a contract with the European Space Agency, is also working on robotic systems for herbicide-free weeding and harvesting.\n\nThe funding from the MEIF Proof of Concept & Early Stage Fund, which is managed by Mercia and part of the Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF) will be paid in two tranches over the next 12 months subject to commercial milestones and will allow the company to fund current trials and bring the product to market.\n\nDavid Whitewood, CEO of Earth Rover, said: “Technologies such as AI and robotics have revolutionised manufacturing in recent years, yet agriculture has suffered from a lack of investment and still relies on traditional techniques. At a time when we face the challenge of feeding a growing population with limited land and labour supplies, it is time for agriculture to undergo the same transformation. At Earth Rover we aim to play a leading role in the digitisation of farming to make the industry more productive and sustainable.”\n\nDavid Baker, investment manager at Mercia, added: “Vegetable growers routinely overplant crops due to the difficulty in predicting yields and the need to fulfil stringent contracts with supermarkets. This pushes up costs and means that much of the crop simply rots in the fields, creating additional carbon emissions. We believe Earth Rover’s system could help increase crop yields by 5 per cent and reduce costs by a similar amount. This funding will help the company to prove its value and launch into the market.”", null, null, null, null ]

I had checked out the", null, "website a couple times because I was looking for any kind of gym closer to our new house in Grimes. Someone at work told me that Stephanie Roberts, who I work with, had been doing crossfit. I talked to her a little about it and finally convinced myself to stop in over lunch and talk to Jaime. (That process took a whole year)\n\nHow has CrossFit changed your life? – I know people all the time say how CrossFit has changed their lives. Might as well be the slogan at the 2016 games or the 13th step in AA. I wish I could say it replaced my addiction to heroin or got me off the streets. Despite what you read on Instagram, that is actually not true. Those seem much more legitimate as “life changing” though. What it has done for me is changed my outlook on fitness and why I exercise. Since college, I have been fairly health conscious. Since I was 17, I have spent hours of my week at the gym. I have always struggled with my weight and body image. On multiple occasions I have lost 40+ pounds, only to end up right where I started, usually because of injury. For the first time I actually feel like I’m doing something that makes me healthier and better than I was the day before. Maybe it’s the accountant in me, but the biggest benefit has been making my progress measurable, and not with a scale. It’s eye opening to realize how useless bench press and bicep curls are in the grand scheme of things. I was told I had to do both twice a week and was a little panicked when neither were programmed AT ALL during my first month. I laugh when I think I used to spend Friday night at the gym doing 40+ minutes on a treadmill. As Glassman would say “you get sweaty and you come home tired”, but that was about it. I actually am doing something that I think will allow me to live a better, healthier, longer life. Heck, I’m actually doing stuff I never thought imaginable! My goal for the end of this year is to squat 300#, a weight that would have been laughable 2 years prior. On top of putting purpose into my workouts, it has also changed other aspects of my life. Sometime around 2009, I injured my low back either running or lifting at the gym (and they say crossfit is dangerous). Since then I had\n\nsuffered from low back pain. So much that I feared long car rides and couldn’t sleep in on the weekends. It was one of my biggest fears when I started CrossFit, and since I rarely even think about it. Crossfit has changed the way I eat and the thought that goes into what I put in my body. Our refrigerator today looks nothing like it did 2 years ago. Probably the biggest and best change to my life has been being able to enjoy it with my wife, Megan. Other than a 10 week cycle of Farrells and a short stint at Kosama, going to the gym and working out had always been something I did alone. I never made friends at the gym and since college I didn’t even have a workout partner. Being able to share this common interest with her has made the experience so much better.\n\nFavorite & least favorite movement – Favorite movement is the Snatch. Something exciting about diving under a weight that can crush you. Least favorite movement… I have 2. I HATE thrusters! Since I don’t really consider them a “movement” as much as a punishment, I have a second. The dreaded handstand pushups with my feet on a box. Not only because it’s about 4 scales below RX, but also because they make me wanna vomit.\n\nFamily info – My wife Megan, whom some of you know. Our English Mastiff son, Hank, who is completely unaware he is a dog and I don’t have the heart to tell him. And my gym family who is pretty great!", null, "Something interesting about me – I’m not sure how interesting I am. I’ve never lived outside of Polk County. I was a volunteer firefighter for 6 years for the City of Johnston. I got married in Vegas! I accidently became a bartender (which thankfully led to meeting my wife!)\n\nFavorite saying – “Muscles not ready!” It has more of an impact when a non-smiling Russian is saying it to you with a look of disappointment.\n\nFavorite songs to workout to – Pretty much love the gangster rap. When Justin Vaught puts on his playlist, I know things are gonna get serious.\n\nFavorite TV show or movie – Hands down Friends. I never watched it when it originally aired, but in my late 20’s I felt I could relate to every episode. Still cracks me up. And Sons of Anarchy… Because lets face it, who wouldn’t rather run guns and ride bikes instead of being an accountant?\n\nWhat movement or skill were you most excited about when you were able to do it? – Bar muscle up was pretty cool but I still get excited when I have a breakthrough with the snatch. I signed up for the 2015 open, which was almost exactly 1 year after I started. The first workout included sets of 5 snatches at 115#, a weight that is easy for most 220# guys. After a humiliating 40+ attempts, I ended with only 8 successful snatches. A couple weeks ago I was doing 3 rep sets of power snatches at 125#. Hey Klokov! My muscles ready now?!" ]

Without such\na program, the user will not even know the name of the\nsubdirectory, or even that it exists. If the DELETE character\nwere not included in the file, the user might try random names\nwith the CHDIR command, eventually finding one and successfully\naccessing it. (Note that a hidden file is just as accessible as\na visible one, if you know its name!) By including the DELETE\ncharacter, however, the user will not be able to randomly\ngenerate the subdirectory name from the keyboard, and will not\neven be able to issue the CHDIR command from the keyboard for\nthis subdirectory name.\n\nOne important point on the use of the DOS CHMOD function : It\ndoesn't make sense to try to change the \"directory\" bit in the\nattribute word in a file's directory entry. If the bit is on,\nthen the file was created as a sub-directory node (MKDIR\nfunction); if the bit is off, then the file is a standard data\nfile. That much makes good sense. What may not be as obvious is\nthat you MUST NOT set the directory bit when calling the CHMOD\nfunction, even if the file in question is actually a\nsubdirectory. DOS apparently checks to see if you have requested\nsetting the directory bit before it \"looks\" at the file, and it\nexits with an error (#5 -- Access Denied) if you have this bit\nset. The only bits which you are allowed to modify (as far as I\nknow) are the archive bit, the read/only bit, the system file\nbit, and the hidden file bit.\n\nIf you have any questions about these files, feel free to\ncontact me through the PCSIG or EMAIL. I don't always access the\nPCSIG often to catch messages before they roll off, and this will\nget worse in the near future, as I am due to be transferred to a\nnew city by my employer (God, I hope I can still get to a PC or\nclone!)." ]

[ "Any film that takes its name from a song by The Replacements is almost guaranteed to have an awesome soundtrack, and Can’t Hardly Wait certainly doesn’t disappoint on that score. Even if you haven’t seen the film (although if you haven’t, it’s worth doing, for no other reason than name-checking all the ‘before they were famous’ appearances from stars like Jason Segal and Breckin Meyer), the soundtrack is still worth checking out, boasting an eclectic mix of material that jumps effortlessly from funk to hip-hop, indie to punk. Here’s how we rank all the songs on the Can’t Hardly Wait soundtrack.\n\nCan’t Get Enough of You Baby was originally recorded by the Four Seasons for their 1965 album Working My Way Back to You and More Great New Hits. Thirty years later, Smash Mouth took it to number 14 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 after covering it for their album, Astro Lounge.\n\nEven if the name Matthew Sweet doesn’t ring any bells, there’s a very good chance you’ll have heard his music if you’ve turned on a TV set over the last 3 decades. Over the years, his songs have appeared in dozens of TV shows and movies, including Baywatch, National Lampoon’s Senior Trip, Flipper, Austin Powers: Man of Mystery, My Name Is Earl, The Simpsons, and, in 1998, Can’t Hardly Wait.\n\nNeither K.P. nor Envyi have ever had much luck in the charts, but the one time they did manage to break into the top 40 was with this No. 6 hit from 1998.\n\nBlack Lab might not be the best-known band around, but there’s a good chance you’ve heard them on a TV show or movie. Since the mid-1990s, they’ve featured on The Shield, Spider-Man, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Transformers, House. M.D., Varsity Blues, Can’t Hardly Wait, and a whole lot more besides.\n\nBrougham (a side project founded by Third Eye Blind’s Jason Slater and his childhood buddy Luke Oakson) weren’t around for long, but before they disbanded, they did at least manage to deliver one album, Le Cock Sportif (a title named by Spin magazine as the “worst rap-rock album title” ever), and one memorable song, I Walked In.\n\nAccording to Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins, Graduate is all about the band’s emotions and experiences after being signed to a major label. Released in August 1997 as the second single from their debut album, it reached number 14 on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.\n\nDog’s Eye View managed to make three albums over their decade-long career, but their only major hit was Everything Falls Apart, which reached number 8 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts and number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. Umbrella is taken from their second album, Daisy, which passed largely unnoticed at the time of its release, but shouldn’t be missed by anyone with a passion for ’90s indie rock.\n\nHigh was a turning point for Feeder, becoming their first single to be playlisted on Radio 1. The extra airplay did the trick, taking the band to the UK top 40 for the first time. Following its appearance on the Can’t Hardly Wait soundtrack, it became huge on college radio in the US, eventually working its way up to number 24 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and number 37 on the Modern Rock chart.\n\nThis classic punk-rock gem from 1997 gave Blink-182 their breakthrough single, encouraged more covers than anyone could ever listen to, and inspired Scott Heisel of Alternative Press to describe it as the “perfect punk song.”\n\nMissy Elliott’s debut album, Supa Dupa Fly, was groundbreaking, to the extent that Rolling Stone have named it as one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” Even if Hit ‘Em wit da Hee isn’t the star of the show, it’s still phenomenal enough to bear repeat listening.\n\nThis funky number from Parliament spent a massive four months on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1978, peaking at number 16. It’s since gone on to sell over 1 million records, becoming Parliament’s second platinum-selling single.\n\nThe only song in Guns N’ Roses catalog more divisive than Welcome to the Jungle? Paradise City, a song named by Rolling Stone as one of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” and by Spin Magazine as one that “runs out of ideas halfway through its triumphant first refrain and yet still lasts for six more minutes.” Love it or hate it, there’s no denying it’s one of the most popular and well-known songs in the band’s back pages.\n\nRun-DMC stepped up their game massively on this classic hip-hop track from 1987. Ten years after its release, it introduced Run-DMC to a new audience when Jason Nevins’ remix took it back into the charts.\n\nEven if it was terrible, it’d be rude to put the song that inspired the movie’s name anywhere else than first. Fortunately, this classic track from The Replacements deserves every inch of its place. The fact it’s got Big Star’s Alex Chilton on guitar seals the deal.", null, null, null, null, null, null, "The 1960s were one of the most creatively prolific periods for songwriters.

[ "Saddam in the dock as Iraq counts its ballots\n\nIraq’s deposed dictator, Saddam Hussein, has gone on trial, pleading not guilty to crimes against humanity over a massacre in 1982. The trial—the first of several he may face—comes as votes are being counted following last weekend’s referendum on Iraq’s proposed post-Saddam constitution. It is expected to pass despite opposition from Saddam’s fellow Sunni Arabs", null, "ALMOST two years after Saddam Hussein was found hiding in a hole in the ground, and four days after the long-suffering Iraqi people voted on a proposed new constitution that (on paper at least) promises them the equality, freedom and democracy they so long lacked, their deposed dictator appeared in a Baghdad court on Wednesday October 19th, for the start of what may be several trials he will face over the enormities committed during his 24-years' rule.\n\nIn this particular trial he stands accused of crimes of humanity for ordering the massacre and torture of more than 140 men from Dujail, north of the capital, following an attempt to assassinate him, as he visited the small town, in 1982. Standing in the dock, restrained by a white metal barrier, he refused to give his name when asked by one of the judges, snapping back: “I won't answer to this so-called court...Who are you? What are you? The occupation is illegitimate,” and adding, “I retain my constitutional rights as the president of Iraq.” He pleaded not guilty, unsurprisingly.\n\nSaddam's defence lawyers pleaded for the trial to be adjourned to give them more time to prepare. Their wish was granted—the case will resume in late November—though the chief judge said the postponement was mainly due to witnesses not turning up. If found guilty, the ex-dictator may face execution by hanging (or perhaps by firing squad, if the tradition for Iraqi military officers is followed), a sentence which would have to be carried out within 30 days of all appeals being exhausted. If so, he could be sent to the gallows before being tried on other charges, up to and including genocide.\n\nThe case will be shown on television across Iraq and around the world. Depending on how things go in this and the other trials, it is possible to imagine Iraq's quarrelsome ethnic and religious groups being brought together by hearing of the terrible sufferings that his regime inflicted on them all—Shia Arabs, Kurds, even his fellow Sunni Arabs when it suited his purpose. But it is at least as easy to imagine the trial only serving to widen the most important split in post-Saddam Iraq: between the Shias and Kurds, who are largely hopeful about their prospects under the new order; and the Sunnis, who having lost the privileges enjoyed under Saddam now fear becoming an oppressed minority.\n\nWhile many Shias and Kurds are keen to see Saddam swinging at the earliest opportunity, some Sunnis angrily complain that he will never get a fair trial, especially while the American-led coalition's troops remain in the country. Saddam's defence may also argue that his regime's laws granted him presidential immunity and that this still applies to any charges relating to his time in power.\n\nThe trial opened as Iraq's electoral commission was continuing to check returns from polling stations following last weekend's referendum on a proposed new constitution—which went largely smoothly. Though the document was drawn up by a committee including representatives from the country's main communities, and in spite of last minute amendments aimed at winning wider support among Sunnis, most of those Sunnis who did vote are thought to have rejected it. Nevertheless, the constitution is expected to have been passed, with Shias (around 60% of the Iraqi population) and Kurds (about 20%) mainly voting “yes”. To reject it would require a two-thirds “no” vote in three of Iraq's 18 provinces but, of the four provinces thought to have Sunni majorities, only Salah Ad Din (Saddam's home province) and Anbar are thought to have achieved such a level of rejection.\n\nThe declaration of the final result is being delayed by checks that Iraq's electoral commission is making on returns from some regions whose “yes” vote was remarkably high—over 90%—though on Tuesday the commission insisted that such figures did not necessarily imply fraud.\n\nThe turnout is thought to have varied significantly between provinces but electoral officials have indicated that, overall, perhaps 63-64% of the 15.5m registered voters took part. This compares with the 58% seen in January's election, in which many Sunnis either refused to participate or were unable to, because of violence and intimidation. This time, voters in some Sunni towns turned out in force, if only to reject the constitution—in Fallujah, the scene last year of fierce fighting between American forces and Sunni militants, 99% voted “no”. At least it could be said that their participation in democratic politics was progress of a sort.\n\nThe improved turnout was a welcome surprise, given the lack of enthusiasm detected among even Shias and Kurds in the run-up to the vote. The months of bombings and shootings following January's general election have shown them that politics alone is no panacea. Many voters complained before the referendum of not having received a copy of the document they were being asked to approve, even in parts of Baghdad, let alone the centre and west of the country, where the insurgency is fiercest.\n\nThis was in part because of the frantic last-minute negotiations to tweak the draft constitution, mainly to make it more acceptable to the Sunnis. Assuming it has passed, there will now be a fresh general election, in December, with a more proportional system of representation, in which many more Sunnis are expected to participate. A new parliamentary commission will discuss further changes to the constitution.\n\nPlenty more work to do\n\nThere is much it could do to encourage more Sunnis to join the political process and thereby to undermine support for the violent insurgency. Sunnis fear that, since Iraq's huge oil reserves are largely in the Kurdish north and the Shia south, they will be robbed of a fair share of export revenues. The constitution is rather vague on how the oil money should be shared, so this ought quickly to be clarified.\n\nThe constitution also allows provinces to group together to form a region with enhanced autonomy—which the Sunnis fear will lead not just to a breakaway Kurdistan in the north but also to a Shia “super-region” of up to nine provinces, with closer links to neighbouring Iran than with Baghdad. A ruling could be made to limit the size of such regions, to ease fears that the country will split into three.\n\nAs the political process, and the trials of Saddam and his henchmen, continue in the coming months, optimists will hope that support for the suicide-bombers will ebb and that those insurgent leaders who are nationalists rather than jihadists will be drawn into the political process. If so, the events of the past few days may come to be seen as the long-awaited turning-point in post-war Iraq's fortunes. Or, if things continue to go badly and the country continues to slide towards civil war and eventual break-up, they may in retrospect be seen as little more than sideshows." ]

Gathering a number of stakeholders including Public Health England, county and city councils, academics and NGOs, the conference highlighted the benefits of multi-stakeholder collaborations, and their tangible policy results, such as the Local Government Declaration on Healthy Weight, adopted by six administrations in the north-west as well as in Greater London. The important element is to achieve political buy-in to establish what Robin Ireland (Food Active / Health Equalities Group) described as a “local whole systems approach to healthy weight.”\n\nDr Arif Rajpura, Director of Public Health at Blackpool Council explained that Food Active is a programme supported by Directors of Public Health in NW England.

Advocacy takes place at local/regional and national level, and crucially, the whole local authority is involved in a population-based, preventative approach, which can generate good returns on small investments.\n\nThe argument that Brexit could exert a very profound, however as yet unknown impact on UK food environments – including larger dependence on multinational corporations and higher prices / lower availability and threats to food safety – was presented by Prof Simon Capewell (University of Liverpool and Vice-President for Health Policy at the Faculty of Public Health). He argued that only a comprehensive strategy will tackle childhood obesity, and Brexit could threaten the continuation of such approaches in the UK. Apart from “de-Europeanisation” of the UK’s food system, which is in fact strongly linked in with continental Europe, he cited TTIP as a threat to food standards. Food campaigners could learn from the tactics and successes of the tobacco control community, a comment echoed by speakers at EPHA’s own recent conference on the need for action on chronic diseases.\n\nJamie Blackshaw of Public Health England (PHE) outlined the evidence on the complex web of influences driving obesity, which PHE is translating into effective policy interventions, including the Childhood Obesity Plan, economic assessment tools, outreach to local communities, sugar reduction and reformulation programmes, and secondary prevention strategies. He underlined the need to get local planners and developers on board (e.g. to manage the number of fast food restaurants per area), and the increased availability of Big Data which may enable more targeted interventions in the future.\n\nWith the acknowledgement by Alison Cox, Director of Prevention at Cancer Research UK that obesity is now the second most common cause of cancer in Britain, after smoking, the conference’s conclusions on working in partnership across sectoral lines (involving public, private and third sector actors) are even more necessary in the fight against obesity." ]

[ null, "Heidi Jacobs has won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour for her debut novel, Molly of the Mall.\n\nThe five-judge panel for the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour announced Friday that UWindsor librarian Heidi Jacobs had claimed the honour.\n\nJacobs’ novel, Molly of the Mall: Literary Lass and Purveyor of Fine Footwear, was one of 84 submissions considered for the $15,000 annual award that celebrates Canadian authors in memory of Stephen Leacock and is presented to the best book of humour each year.\n\nSet in Edmonton in the 1990s, Molly of the Mall allowed Jacobs to tell a unique story about the city she grew up in and shares the story of Molly MacGregor, a character she created nearly 20 years ago while working toward her Ph.D. in English at the University of Nebraska.\n\n“My American colleagues were amused and entertained by my Canadian antics, so I kept writing it,” said Jacobs. “It reflects Canada’s distinctive type of humour and the way humour is such a key part of Canadian life and culture.”\n\nJacobs called it “incredibly humbling” to have been nominated and is honoured to be recognized as this year’s recipient.\n\nOwing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the medal and cash prizes will not be awarded as usual at a gala dinner but will be mailed to the winners. Jacobs and the runners-up will be celebrated instead at the 2021 dinner." ]

[ "The coronavirus has been credited with catalysing a shift from a self-centred ‘I’ society to another-centred ‘we’ society. The focus on individual well-being and material wealth that has shaped many people’s identity and aspirations for the last half century or more has now turned into a concern for morality and the benefits of caring, sharing, and community building.\n\nIn this blog I show how a particular rhetorical device known as antithesis, in which opposing forces are balanced against each other, can prove very persuasive. But I also caution against the reductive thinking that often comes with this kind of framing. At a time of draconian constraints on our liberties, we remain not only free – but duty-bound to evaluate our situation and how best to respond to it.\n\nRousing rhetoric in a time of crisis\n\nAs we have witnessed on social media recently, the recent emphasis on the common good has given rise to many edifying outpourings of song, offers of help, and expressions of love. It has also resulted in governments adopting unprecedented measures to save lives, secure jobs, and sustain communities. Medics and care-workers above all have demonstrated a heroic willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.\n\nProvided that we all pull together, all will be well in the end. That is the encouraging – and necessary – message of this crisis. ‘Necessary’ because it is a viral crisis, requiring compliance and collaboration if there is to be a constructive resolution. Epidemiological modelling tells us that dissent will be our undoing.", null, "However, the re-framing involved in this shift from individualism to collectivism should not be accepted unthinkingly. We should not be seduced into a reductive black and white bias, especially if this involves equating individualism with ‘bad’ and collectivism with ‘good’. Individualism is not another word for selfishness, nor are all aspects of collectivism beneficial in and of themselves. The pros and cons of any particular way of framing a situation have to be evaluated on their own merits.\n\nNor does a change in the dominant narrative disqualify alternative accounts. Some of us may have been too selfish some of the time, or too materialistic much of the time, but this does not mean that we have always been uncaring and ungiving. We have not suddenly shed the chrysalis of individualism to join a collective of sun-kissed butterflies.\n\nPolarities are useful for rousing solidarity, as we can see from the so-called ‘prayer of Saint Francis’:\n\nWe also witness the power of opposing forces in the BBC Radio London prayer that has gone viral on social media recently, which includes the lines:\n\nOne and the same rhetorical device has been used to promote opposing ideologies. The first quote was cited by Margaret Thatcher when she first came into office, inaugurating an era of heightened individualism (Thatcher is famous for having said ‘And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first.’). The second quote is circulating as an appeal to heightened collectivism.\n\nRousing rhetoric should never obscure the full spectrum of individual differences that exists between the polarities being presented. We have all had to juggle our own inclinations with the demands of others, to balance our own aspirations with our concern for others. It is precisely these choices and compromises that in large part determine who we are. If my neighbour is inclined to hoard and I am inclined to give, neither of us is necessarily right or wrong, we are just being true to ourselves. The same holds for the wife who, after a period of self-isolation, returns to her work as a doctor while her husband, anxious for the family, opposes her choice.\n\nThese individual differences explain why one person’s ‘stock-piling’ is probably another’s ‘safety-measure’, one person’s ‘public-mindedness’ is possibly another’s ‘selfishness’, and today’s ‘necessary hard measures’ are potentially tomorrow’s ‘soft authoritarianism’. Even our own inclinations and decisions may change in emphasis from day to day in the light of our self-reflection and re-evaluations.\n\nWhat this crisis has brought out in stark relief for me is the importance of a considered life. What are the choices we have made, why, under what constraints, and with what expectations? What are the – possibly very different – choices we are now making? Why? Not long ago, hugs, kisses, closeness, and conviviality used to be the currency of love and friendship around the world, yet on Mother’s Day in the UK (22 March 2020) the country was told that staying away and not visiting our mothers is the best expression of our love.\n\nSocrates said ‘An unexamined life is not worth living.’ Here again we see the power – and the peril – of antithetical rhetoric. An unexamined is first of all very unlikely, and when on occasions we do go along with what is, unquestioningly, we may do so for good reasons. It may be an individual choice, a temporary necessity, or even a decree from the powers that be. The imperative of an examined life is that we should not stop thinking for ourselves, and choosing accordingly, always with an eye on changing constraints and expectations.\n\nThis blog, therefore, is a defence of self-determination, not selfishness. It is an appeal for the protection and promotion of individuality in all its diversity, not the dichotomisation of behaviour as good or bad. Above all, it is a call for the examined life, where we remain free to re-evaluate the balance between self and other in the light of our own conscience and with regard for the changing dynamics of the situation.\n\nDr Biljana Scott, the author of this posting, developed and lectures on Diplo's Language and Diplomacy course. In this course you can learn more about many of the topics discussed in this post, for example framing and reframing, as well as linguistic devices to develop a persuasive argument." ]

[ "PENNSYLVANIA 7/14/21 – The explosive evidence of election fraud coming out of Arizona and Georgia and now triggering another forensic audit in Pennsylvania has forced Sleepy Joe Biden to rush to Pennsylvania to try to stop the audits. So he gave a Big Lie speech in Pennsylvania, under the guise of “voting rights,” as he attempts to head off the new forensic audits. Of course the speech was nothing but a string of lies punctuated with “literally” and “I mean, really” All that was missing was a “Come on Man!”\n\nThe White House posted a video of the speech which has more than ten times as many down-votes as up-votes and less than 18K votes.\n\nEven out of office, President Trump gets millions of views for his speech videos… Nobody believes that Biden got more votes than anyone in history. LOL! The White House video has the requisite sign language translator. So in the above video we imagined how the speech might go, if President Trump took that spot and performed his own translation of all Biden’s lies. Enjoy! LOL!\n\nBiden Can’t Defend His Own Legitimacy\n\nJoe Biden is going to Pennsylvania today in a rush in order to stop the Forensic Audit that the Pennsylvania Republican Senate is in the process of doing. Philadelphia was a cesspool of corruption, which will soon be revealed by the audit. Why are they so concerned that a President, who never goes anywhere, would hop onto beautiful Air Force One and head to Philadelphia if it were an honest election? Why not let the audit go forward and make everybody, on both sides, happy? The results will be the results. But they know it was not an honest election, Philadelphia was one of the most corrupt cities in the Country — and so it Detroit, and so is Milwaukee, and so is Atlanta, and Pittsburgh, and Oakland, and Baltimore. Corruption has gone on for years, but in the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, with the mail-in ballots and the use of Covid to cheat, corruption reached new levels. Remember the poll watchers being thrown out, the windows being sealed so nobody could look in, the ballot drops, and all of the other events that took place that changed so rapidly the Big Trump Win on election night.\n\nJoe should say go forward with this, with all of these audits. His visit is a joke. He doesn’t need to visit, all he needs to do is let them do an audit and nd out what happened. Who knows, maybe they’ll say the election was on the up and up, but many people would be shocked. Let the audit go forward like it is in Arizona, despite 107 Democrat lawyers trying to stop it and failing.\n\nLet the Forensic Audit go, Joe. Don’t fight it. Show them how honest it was.", null, null ]
