[ null, "Richmond, Ind. – The Alice Lloyd College Eagles had the challenging task of traveling to Richmond, Indiana, to battle the NAIA #3 Indiana University-East Red Wolves on Saturday, Jan 6. Despite fighting until the very end, the Eagles would drop an 80-66 decision.\n\nFrom the tipoff, the hosts were eager to prove why they held their lofty ranking, and they went about demonstrating that to perfection. East would explode to a commanding 32-11 lead with 8:03 remaining as the typically potent Eagle offense was stagnant. Just when it appeared a massive blowout was in the making, the boys from Caney Creek responded. Alice Lloyd would buckle down on defense and go on a 20-7 run to slice the deficit to just eight (39-31) before a late Red Wolf hoop set the score at, a much-more-manageable, 41-31 at intermission.\n\nIn the second half, Alice Lloyd refused to go away, but they could never get the margin below double-figures as East was able to maintain control until the final buzzer sounded.\n\nALC next returns to action on Tuesday, January 9th for a big conference showdown at home with Midway University. Tipoff is set for 7:30 pm." ]

Paarth Makhija accompanied the duo, holding on to his fifth position in qualifying in the end classifications.\n\nBut Wednesday morning belonged to Rudrankksh who dominated all three stages of the competition over two days of shooting. In the final, it was Abhinav who started the stronger in the early stages, going up 4-2 after the first three shots.\n\nRudrankksh recovered quickly though, and went past his countryman, keeping his nose ahead till the very end to seal victory.

[ null, "Recently I discovered that I had a mentality that clashed with my values and held me back from truly appreciating what I have to offer others. The mentality of giving so that I can expect something in return often soured what could potentially be genuine acts of charity and good will.\n\nNow I don’t say this from a high horse, more of a neutral pony, but I possess the ability to ask hard hitting questions that really get people to introspect. I’ve found great pleasure in feeding my curiousity about others and in return getting them to step outside of themselves and imagine their lives. So much so that I’ve inspired creative people to get back into their craft whether it was in the visual, literary, or musical arts.\n\nI seem to have a knack for reminding people why they love expressing themselves through the mediums they excel in. Whenever I receive their gratitude and hear that they are picking up their creativity back up off the floor, I feel a sense of warmth and accomplishment that is beyond living through them vicariously. I genuinely do enjoy getting to know people better by asking them about what their passions.\n\nWith all that said, I realized a tinge of greed within myself when I’ve tried to engage a few people I’ve helped out. I had spent so much time understanding where they were at in life and why they have neglected their creative abilities, played a part in getting them to reconnect with their creative expressions, but got little to no space to share what was going on with me.\n\nThat I could spend so much time asking question after question like an ask-a-holic, only to not get any questions asked in return about how I was doing in life.\n\nJust a few weeks ago I felt justified to write people off as selfish and ungrateful because if they were good people they would take the time to understand me right?\n\nWell from a life coaching session with my own brother Oliver Manalese (check out his work, it kicks ass), I learned that being understood was what I missed out on in my childhood. Being understood is what I needed the most and I feel like I didn’t get it from my parents, teachers, or any other adults in my life.\n\nIn turn, I have grown up to become the adult I wish I had around when I was a kid; and that is a genuinely curious and encouraging person.\n\nDespite feeling a little miffed when people don’t give me the same curiousity, within the moments I am prying into people’s minds, I am genuinely interested in them. But then to later twist it as something I do in order to extract an obligation I realize now is just madness.\n\nThat’s giving to get.\n\nIt was genuinely giving in the moment, but my ego turned it into a symbiotic exchange.\n\nThanks to my brother’s insights, he came to conclude that there really is no need for me to have to share the details of my life to the people I help in order to feel understood. To expect reciprocity in the same vein of others being able to interview my soul was actually a very greedy thing to do.\n\nWhy crave to be understood by getting a chance to talk about myself when the very act of me showing up in people’s lives, asking them these open ended questions that inspire them, is how I am being understood?\n\nI am being understood as someone who shows up for others.\n\nI am being understood as someone who gives a shit.\n\nI am being understood by the simple fact that my questions are being thought about and answered honestly.\n\nAnd then later of course getting a tremendous word of thanks from the people I took the time to understand. To know that I had an effect on them that they revived creative pursuits that seemed dead and gone–that is how I already am being understood and acknowledged.\n\nI’m who I wanted when I was a child. Someone who could ask the right questions and motivate me to pursue my passions with all the love and energy they deserve.\n\nThis rare ability to do it for others and knowing that I am capable of doing it for them should be enough to grant that curiousity and inspiration to myself. Seeing the effects of my curiousity and encouragement through other people’s actions validate for me, within myself, the sense of aliveness we all try to strive for.\n\nI don’t think any form of absolute altruism exists. Even if you give to charity and help people out, there are selfish motives involved, but the concept of selfishness is so demonized that people deny they even have it.\n\nWe all want things.\n\nBut that doesn’t make us bad, it makes us human.\n\nSo in giving to others, what we intrinsically get in return is pride when someone expresses their gratitude for your good will. It’s not a bad thing. It’s reaffirming that as a human being, part of this massive social species, that we matter and we have value from the very act of providing value.\n\nRealizing all this I strive to genuinely give from now on.\n\nI will give of myself the curiousity and understanding I wish I got as a child. For the people I help with this ability, I will bask in their gratitude and their strength to take action partly thanks to my encouragement (I won’t take full credit since they’re the ones who ultimately decide). They don’t need to know the details of my life and my thoughts, their presence and willingness to answer my questions should be enough for me.\n\nAnd for those rare few individuals who can provide that curiousity and understanding, the people who can actually ask good questions and keep a consistent and engaging conversation, that’s what will set them apart from others. I’ll hold them dear in my heart.\n\nNot everybody has to be a motivational gumshoe.\n\nPeople provide value and reciprocity in different ways, and I’ve come to accept that.\n\nSo from this day onward, I strive give genuinely without expecting anything in return. Why expect when giving is its own reward?" ]

[ null, "This year has been one full of pivots around the world with the pandemic, and our project is no different. One key pivot that was made regarded what our final project idea was going to be for this year. Throughout the ideation phase, one idea that stuck around was some sort of device to either assist the blind community or the deaf community. With this came a bunch of project ideas spanning from \"iCanes\" to full body suits geared with vibration technology for the blind to special glasses that had pop-up alerts for the deaf. The fact that these ideas stuck around throughout our ideation phase demonstrated that one of them was likely to become our final product idea, and that's what pretty much everyone in the team was expecting as the ideation phase came to a close and it was time to choose our project. However, as more thorough research was done into the ideas and the team became more cognizant of competitors, we struggled to find real points of innovation as time was running out. This was when the initial idea for Sprout came in, and since Sprout presented an innovative, simple project idea that everyone was interested in and hit all the necessary points for this project, we decided to ultimately go with it. However, our ideas relating to blind and deaf help haven't left our heads, and the team may perhaps revisit them next year as we think of another project to flesh out then.", null, "A variety of investigations were made throughout the course of making Sprout, including investigating what target market Sprout should be for and what competitors Sprout has, and these investigations are in their respective parts of the profile.\n\nAlpha Testing: In testing the prototype, one challenge that arose was refining the search queries that were used to locate relevant and credible websites relating to the text. One major issue was the returned keywords from the keyword detection algorithm not being relevant to the main topic discussed on the textbook page and thus not returning precise results. By increasing the amount of keywords that were deemed part of a phrase in the keyword filtering algorithm, and in general performing more search queries with phrases from the page, the resulting web pages related more closely to the topics on the webpage.\n\nBeta Testing: Since the app is still mainly in alpha testing, not much beta testing has been performed yet. However, a recording of the \"ideal functionality\" prototype working can be found as an attachment (same as in the prototype section).", null, "The initial idea for Sprout arose from an idea a team member had regarding scanning in text from literary works and having the app highlight symbols and key literary devices that the author employs. This idea was kept on the backburner during the ideation phase, with not too many team members particularly interested in it. However, as the team approached the end of ideation and was faced with choosing among a few ideas that had not been ruled out, two team members took a weekend to thoroughly look into the book-scanning proposal and see if something could arise from it. From there, the idea for applying the scanning technology to textbooks came to be, and since the team members did not find any significant competitors, it ultimately became a finalist project idea and won out in the end for our product. The key features of Sprout, including generating notes pages and automatic definitions for words, as well as presenting related videos and websites and allowing the user to play with AR-interactive models, were features the team came up with organically with some inspiration (for example, this year's discussion around ZapWorks was where the AR idea came from). Other components of Sprout arose from our research initiatives and discussions with our mentor, such as pricing, what sources Sprout refers to, and how Sprout might actually go about doing its purpose. Discussions surrounding these components can be observed in the research and mentor sections of the profile.\n\nThere are two different versions of prototypes for Sprout which showcase different aspects of its progress so far. The end goal for the prototype was to combine optical character recognition, keyword extraction, and automatic Google searching into one device. This proved to be more difficult than anticipated due to the inconsistent nature of the optical character recognition on our device combined with the requirements for the APIs that perform keyword extraction and Google searching. As a result, two prototypes were created - one which showcases the ideal functionality of the Sprout application, and another which demonstrates the attempts to access all three APIs and create a fully functional prototype. Further information can be found in the attached prototype document. Moreover, a video demonstrating the \"ideal functionality,\" hard-coded prototype is attached.", null, "Another component of our product that can be elucidated here appropriately is pricing and financing for Sprout. This was discussed and explored through primary research as well as team/mentor meetings, and in these sections there are some details, but here we give the complete rundown. The team ultimately chose to go with a subscription model, with having some features free and some restricted behind a $10/month paywall. The free features include presenting related websites/videos, generating non-configurable notes pages, and automatic definitions. The paid features include presenting AR models, configurable notes, practice quizzes, and the ability to view scan history. We believe that this is the best model as it allows users to experience key features of Sprout for free and physically see that it works, enticing them to buy further features. This facilitates better reviews as well (and thus more people using and buying Sprout's subscription). Ultimately, if the company needs more money, we can always rely on selling user data to educational/textbook companies as well. Through these efforts, we believe Sprout will be able to make ByteSized Cookies a handsome profit." ]

[ "There has been a huge increase in the number of women choosing IUDs as their go-to form of contraception, and for good reason. It’s currently one of the most effective methods of birth control available despite the cramps associated with it.\n\nIUD stands for Intrauterine Device—a small, often T-shaped device that’s inserted into a woman’s uterus by her doctor to help prevent pregnancy for several years. So much easier than remembering to take a pill every day, right?", null, "There are two types of IUDs available in the United States. One emits a low level of copper (ParaGard) and the other gradually releases a synthetic hormone called levonorgestrel (Kyleena, Liletta, Mirena, Skyla), but both have been reported to cause cramps. The cramps may occur a few days after the initial IUD insertion, and having the IUD in may intensify your monthly PMS cramps. The cramping, similar to the kind you get on your period, is how your body reaction to your cervix opening.\n\n\"IUD cramps are caused because the uterus is a muscle, and having the device placed causes the uterus to contract around it,\" explains Dr. Nicole Williams, Founder of The Gynecology Institute of Chicago. Remember, cramps are just small uterine contractions. Sometimes, after your IUD is placed, there is an adjustment period while the device settles. This may cause some occasional sharp pain best alleviated with a heating pad, ibuprofen, or stretching,\" she says.\n\nWe’re sorry! It seems there’s no escaping it, BUT there are ways to help ease the cramps caused by IUDs.\n\n1Use a heating pad of hot water bottle\n\nAlyssa Dweck, M.D., gynecologist in New York placed her stamp of approval behind using heating pads or hot water bottles to ease your cramps. Dr. Dweck told HelloGiggles, “It’s soothing, it brings blood flow to the surface of your skin and also to your muscles.” She also suggested taking a warm bath or a hot shower, concentrating the warm water on your lower pelvis.\n\nIn an interview with Elle, Dr. Fahimeh Sasan, assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai said,\n\nAlthough the last thing you might want to do after a procedure like getting your IUD placed is get up and move, a study conducted by a team of researchers from St Mary’s University in England found that exercise actually did wonders for easing abdominal cramps.\n\nDr. Dweck also recommends trying some light movement like yoga, stretching, or going on a short walk. You’ll be surprised at how the endorphins can kick in and actually make your cramps feel less intense.\n\n4Change up your diet.\n\nAdding different foods could help your body as it adjusts to the cramps caused by your IUD insertion. Try things like:\n\nIf you’re feeling especially adventurous, you could try an electrical stimulation device like the Livia device. The device is a pocket-sized version of the electrical stimulation machines you’ll find in a doctor’s office. According to its website, “The idea is to close the ‘pain gates.’ The device stimulates the nerves, making it impossible for pain to pass. The method Livia uses has been proven effective in several clinical studies.”\n\nLuckily, the cramps may improve after the initial one to three month adjustment period. Dr. Sasan noted,\n\n\"The worst cramping is going to be that first week, and then it can be common to have more cramping than you’re used to during your period. That also tends to improve with time, and every woman is going to be different, but maybe your first few periods are going to be painful and then as time goes on, you will improve.\"\n\nHopefully these tips will be useful to ease your IUD-induced aches and pains!" ]

He stood as an Independent Candidate and garnered 18,788 votes against 20,761 votes polled by his National Resistance Movement party rival Kazini.\n\nAs a result, Muheirwe was not happy with the decision by the Electoral Commission to declare Kazini Twinomujuni as the eventual winner of the elections .\n\nMuheirwe decided to petition court seeking to overturn the victory of Kazini Twinomujuni on grounds that he had discrepancies in his academic papers which he described as an act of forgery. Court also heard that Kazini Twinomujuni lacks the minimum Advanced Level academic qualifications to be elected as a member of parliament.\n\nMuheirwe also accused his rival of intimidating his voters during the polling day, voter bribery and other electoral malpractices.\n\nHowever, on September 28th 2021, Justice Musa Ssekaana dismissed Muheirwe’s petition saying that Kazini Twinomujuni was duly nominated, elected, declared and subsequently gazetted as the Buhaguzi County MP in compliance with the governing laws.\n\nThe Judge while sitting in Masindi ruled that Kazini Twinomujuni had the minimum requirement of Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education to be a legislator.\n\nAccordingly, Ssekaana ordered Muheirwe to pay costs of the petition to the respondents who included the Electoral Commission saying that there was no sufficient evidence to prove his allegations.\n\nBut not happy with the orders in the judgement, Muheirwe has decided to challenge the decision of Justice Ssekaana raising four grounds in his appeal filed before the Court of Appeal in Kampala.\n\nMuheirwe contends that the learned trial Judge erred in law and fact when he held that the burden of proof in election petitions must be slightly higher than in ordinary civil cases hence coming to a wrong conclusion.\n\nJustice Ssekaana is also being faulted for having reportedly failed to properly evaluate the evidence on court record and came to a wrong conclusion that the appellant/Muheirwe had no iota of evidence; but merely relied on desk review of Kazini Twinomujuni's nomination papers /academic documents to make his case.\n\n\"The learned trial Judge erred in law and fact in holding that the first respondent/Kazini Twinomujuni was validly nominated to participate in elections for Buhaguzi County in Kikuube district and therefore was duly elected,\" reads the appeal in part.\n\nAccording to Muheirwe, the learned trial Judge further erred in law and fact when he condemned him to pay costs to Kazini Twinomujuni and the Electoral Commission with whom they are jointly sued in the Court of Appeal.\n\nThrough his lawyers of Mujurizi, Alinaitwe and Byamukama Advocates, Muheirwe now wants the Court of Appeal to allow his appeal with costs, nullifies the victory of Kazini and go ahead and reverse Justice Ssekaana's decision.\n\nThe court records show that the copies of this appeal should be served to K and K Advocates in Kampala who are the lawyers representing the respondents.\n\nMuheirwe’s appeal is one of the 51 election appeals arising from the 2021 general elections and High Court decisions that have so far been filed in the Court of Appeal as of October 22nd 2021.\n\nAll the appeals which are supposed to be heard and determined by panels comprising of three Judges are not yet fixed for hearing." ]

[ null, "Terry: some clients not aware of legal aid cuts\n\nIn the third part of our series in which we catch up on the progress of the new breed of alternative business structures (ABSs), we speak to Castle Park Solicitors, which was the first ABS to be created by a legal advice charity.\n\nThe firm, created by Leicester-based Community Advice and Law Service (CALS) a year ago, has found the going tough, but is hopeful that income from private client work will be flowing to its parent body by the end of this year.\n\nCALS became the first not-for-profit to set up an ABS when it took advantage of a waiver from the separate business rule provided to charities by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Castle Park is a community interest company.\n\nCastle Park was set up with the dual aims of providing good-quality advice and representation mainly in the areas going out of scope of legal aid, and to generate income for CALS.\n\nGlenda Terry, the ABS’s head of finance and administration, said the two areas of law that were showing the greatest promise were family law and immigration, although the firm had not appointed an immigration specialist until some time after the new business was up and running.\n\nShe said clients had been slow to grasp the fact that, post-LASPO, there was no legal aid available. “I think the understanding that legal aid has gone has been slow to trickle down, so we still get users of legal services coming in expecting that legal aid is still there. Obviously if they are eligible or it’s still in scope we do send them to people who do legal aid.”\n\nThe firm has had to be innovative in its charging. It has an ‘access to justice’ facility whereby people on certain means-tested benefits, who would previously have been eligible for legal aid, can pay for legal services at half the firm’s normal rate and pay in monthly instalments. “That is very much consistent with our ethos and the sort of people we wanted to help, but it’s impacted rather on our ability to turn a profit for our parent company,” Ms Terry said.\n\nUnbundling of services is also a means by which Castle Park can help clients and make money too. In immigration law the firm has a free drop-in service on Tuesday mornings, at which people can receive 20 minutes’ free advice. “We’ve kind of adapted the service around the client group because for some people it’s just about knowing what the remedy is or if there is one, and whether they’re going to have to instruct us and end up paying for the work. But it’s also something that enables us to see if we can do it under an agreed fee or whether it’s perhaps something a bit more complex or open ended.”\n\nBeing an ABS gives Castle Park the flexibility to work with other professionals. But, for now, only links with not-for-profit organisations are on the agenda, she said: “There are a few ideas in the pipeline now about working in collaboration with [them] and maybe looking for external funding – doing things that could draw in other funding.”\n\nOne area the ABS has long wanted to develop is employment law – which with family and immigration it aimed to make part of its core practice. “It will be a niche service to not-for-profit small businesses or private businesses and that’s something I think we are gradually developing, sort of an HR service – and if they want help with documents, that kind of thing, because we feel quite well placed to do that.”\n\nMs Terry admitted that the private sector has presented new challenges, such as having to chase work. “It’s very different from working in the not-for-profit sector where you have people queueing up, and generally promotion and publicity are not too high on the agenda.\n\n“But if it’s a paid-for service, obviously you are in competition with other people. I think it’s about communicating to people that we are offering good value for money; all our people are at least 10 years’ PQE, so the service is high-quality.”\n\nThe ABS has links with local firms, but do they see it as treading on their turf? “I think probably to an extent they do, because obviously we are competitors. But I don’t think we’ve encountered huge antipathy really. But obviously these are testing times within the legal profession and I don’t suppose Leicester is any different from anywhere else in that respect.”" ]

[ "The National Geographic Magazine recently published a great article on the “mind-bending ways to navigate” in the Yupno language spoken in Papua New Guinea. The Yupno use an environmental-based system talking about “uphill/downhill” and “upvalley/downvalley” slopes where we might use “east /west/south/north”. Additionally, they create a metaphorical topography inside their homes that is distinct from the real-world landscape. Within a traditional house speakers map a prominent river of their home country onto a central fireplace that runs down the length of the living room area and project the sloped directions from there. As a result, “uphill” is always away from the door regardless of the actual direction with regards to the prominent mountain range.\n\nThe languages of the world have many astounding and staggering ways to describe the space around us. They are as diverse as the landscapes we humans have conquered and occupied. As a linguist working on Australian languages I have long been fascinated by the ways indigenous Australians talk about their surroundings and what that may be able to teach us about Aboriginal culture, cognition and even grammar. Today, I’d like to share what I’ve learned so far.\n\nTake a look at this picture. What would you say if I asked you “Where’s Doro?”", null, "I bet it would be a variation of one of these:\n\nc. Doro has the waterfall on her left side\n\nd. Doro is east of the waterfall\n\nThere are technical terms for how these relations can be described. The first (1a), is a type of topological relation where Doro (the figure) is located somewhat in relation to the waterfall (ground), but they are not touching. This would be different, for example, if Doro were, say, ON TOP OF or WITHIN the waterfall. (Yes, let your imagination run wild here with possible hilarious scenarios). These would still be topological relations, but of a different (touching and containment) type.\n\n(1b) is a relative Frame of Reference. This one is very familiar to any English speaker. It is also a very complicated one and familiar to anyone who struggles pointing out directions on the fly:\n\nThis relationship is threefold – it describes the relation between Doro (the figure), the waterfall (the ground) and yourself. Since you are using your very own perspective while looking at the picture. Think about how when you stand in front of a group of people pointing out something on the left, you have to switch your mind around to match your audiences’ perspective to the right.\n\n(1c) is what we call an intrinsic Frame of Reference. Again, this is something you are probably all familiar with. In fact, this way of thinking about spatial relations appears to be pretty much universal among the world’s languages and peoples. It uses Doro’s (the ground’s) inherent or intrinsic features (her front/back, left/right) to describe the location of the waterfall (the figure). This is again a two-fold relation since you do not need a third angle (as in the relative frame example where you use your own) to describe what is going on.\n\nFinally, (1d) is the absolute Frame of Reference. It uses cardinal directionals to describe the location of entities. You might be most familiar with these for thinking about giving directions or when talking about large-scale locations.\n\nUnless you are European and live in a city where streets grew organically and are not grid-organized. I can tell you one or two stories about my befuddlement when I first arrived in the US and had to learn general directions and orientation of endless north-south and east-west streets to find my way around… However, for example,\n\n“Head south on Broadway to Fullerton. Then turn east and wait until you see the entrance to Lincoln Park Zoo on your right.”\n\nsounds perfectly normal and is easy to follow for any Chicagoan. Using these cardinals in an example such as (1d), on the other hand, is a less likely scenario for you. It is possible, but not many people choose to use it in English. This relationship consists of three participants and is tertiary like the relative frame. This time you place Doro (the figure) in relation to the waterfall (the ground) by invoking a third entity – the abstract direction of cardinal east.\n\nSo, where is Doro in Australia?\n\nThese types of descriptions appear fairly complete and you might expect most people to allow these or similar answers to the question “Where is Doro?”. Well, surprise!, this is not quite the case.\n\nLet’s see what some likely replies would be in Australian languages:\n\nb. Doro is facing downstream, (the waterfall is behind her) (Jaminjung)\n\nc. Doro is looking into the northwesterly wind (the waterfall is behind her) (MalakMalak)\n\nd. Doro is on the ocean-side of the waterfall (Iwaidja)\n\ne. Doro is looking against the tide (the waterfall is behind her) (Bardi)\n\nf. Doro is over there. On that side. (Murrinh-Patha)\n\nInterestingly, examples (2a-2e) are all absolute directionals of the same or similar kind as the one in (1d). But then again, not really. What’s going on?\n\nIn Guugu Yimithirr spoken in Hopevale, Queensland, at first glance, the familiar four-way cardinal system is being used. However, instead of referring to a point on the horizon (where the sun sets/rises/is highest in the sky etc.), speakers assume four quadrants. Very much like a cake cut into four pieces, where there is, for example a northernmost piece, and where everything within this piece receives the label ‘north’. The system is also rotated somewhat clockwise from the standard Western structure and people have wondered whether it not really reflects the line of the coast, prevailing winds or seasonal changes in the arc of the sun instead of the rising and setting sun per se.\n\nExample (2b) is what a Jaminjung person might answer in reply to the question. This language is spoken in the Victoria River area of the Northern Territory. The upstream/downstream system is based on the course of the Victoria River primarily, but can also be projected onto any salient smaller waterway, such as the creek behind Doro and the waterfall. Interestingly, in Jaminjung you cannot say “Doro is downstream of the waterfall”. You could say “Doro is upstream (of me)” implying your own location as the reference point (this is called deixis). Or you can orient Doro with regards to the downstream direction as in (2b).\n\nThis scenario is somewhat similar to what you see in (2c) from MalakMalak, the language of the Daly River area, the place where the big barramundi can be caught. The MalakMalak employ a system that is based on the direction of two prevailing winds. During the wet season (December to March) a soft, hot and humid wind blows in from the northwest, called nul. In the dry season between May and July, a strong, cool, dry wind named dangid often moves in from the southeast. These are only ever used to orient Doro as in (2c) or show her in motion. You cannot say “*Doro is northwesterly of the waterfall/of me”. This system is permanent at any time of the year and speakers even use it when the respective winds do not blow. In Kalaw Lagaw Ya, on the other hand, spoken in the central and western Torres Strait Islands in Queensland, the organization changes with the varying winds.\n\nEven though the MalakMalak also live on a big river like the Jaminjung, they have not developed a river-flow-based system. The Daly River is partially tidal in the tribe’s traditional territory and therefore does not easily lend itself to either a downstream/upstream nor a tidal system as the one in Bardi (below).\n\nIt is not surprising that a language such as Iwaidja in example (2d) spoken on Croker Island 200km off the coast of the Northern Territory has a directional system based on the topography of the island that refers to ocean-wards and inland. This system is not static and relies entirely on your location on the island. In this sense, it is similar to Jaminjung’s depending on which direction the river flows at the location of speaking and Kaga Lagaw Ya’s altering wind-system. This organization can become ambiguous when speakers are located right in the center of the island. In that case, they might resort to pointing and gesturing in addition to naming directions.\n\nIn Bardi spoken in One Arm Point in Western Australia, there is a system based on incoming and outgoing tides as in (2e). This, of course, changes every six hours! Since the community has long depended on an intimate knowledge of the tides for travel, hunting and gathering, it is not surprising that such a system developed.\n\nSome languages in Australia (very few) use neither absolute nor relative frame of reference. This is the case in Murrinh-Patha spoken in Wadeye (Port Keats) in the Northern Territory. Here, speakers use place names, demonstratives (there, that) as in (2f) and pointing to talk about space and directions. Living non-nomadically in small tight-knit communities where people know their surroundings inside out, the Murrinh-Patha use this system very confidently and unambiguously.\n\nThe point of departure\n\nSo where is Doro? Well, I think I’ve made my point in saying – it really depends on where and who YOU are. New perspectives, attitudes, languages and backgrounds shape us. They can open our eyes to fresh experiences at any moment. There are always different ways to view the world, even where we don’t expect it." ]

[ null, "While most of us prefer fishing dry flies, adult caddis are most vulnerable to trout when they transition from pupa to adult. This change starts near the bottom of a stream and finalizes at the surface, making nymphs and emerges more effective than dry flies.\n\nCaddis hatch for most of the summer, but some of my favorite times to match them are the heavy spring and early summer hatches in the Rocky Mountains. The Mother’s Day hatch of brachycentrus caddis on the Yellowstone River near Livingston, Montana is the most famous springtime emergence. But this early season caddis also can be found on other regional waters, such as the lower Henry’s Fork, Madison, Snake, Green, Clark Fork, Big Hole and Gallatin rivers among others. It’s also fairly widespread in Colorado. The Mother’s Day moniker is true on some waters, but the bulk of that activity takes place in late April. This timing coincides with the start of runoff and it is a mad race for the weather to get warm enough for the bugs to emerge, but not too warm to start spring runoff, which could make the rivers unfishable. The best way to hit these hatches is to live there, near the banks of those rivers, and be voluntarily unemployed. Most of us can’t do that and even if we could some years we’d hit the hatch for a couple weeks of prime fishing and other years we’d only get a few days. You hope for the best and take your shots when the\n\nAnother peak of caddis activity occurs around the tail end of runoff, usually around the end of June or the Fourth of July, depending on water conditions. At this time, a variety of caddis and small stoneflies can be found in abundance. The stoneflies shine during the day with caddis activity taking over as evening arrives. These early summer caddis are mostly hydroschye. They resemble a turkey quill in coloration. One of the best hydroschye hatches occurs on Montana’s Missouri River in July, a predictable evening emergence, usually right at dusk, that brings every fish in the river to the surface. On the Missouri, that means plenty of heavy 16-to 22-inch browns and rainbows.\n\nOn the Missouri, and the aforementioned streams, take advantage of situations when trout can feed heavily without expending much energy. The caddis hatch provides that—trout can rest on a seamline and watch a steady stream of caddis float over their heads. Because these mergers are struggling at the surface trout merely raise up, suck in a snack, drop down a few inches and repeat.\n\nThe Everfloat Caddis Emerger came about in preparation for a trip to Livingston, Montana for the April caddis hatch on my old home water, the Yellowstone River. I’ve used a variety of caddis patterns over the years, from imitative to attractor, but in the last few years, caddis emergers have worked best. My Everything Emerger and Matthew’s X Caddis are at the top of the list. However, early in the day, prior to evening surface activity, a Glass House Caddis, Ultra Zug or a beadhead soft hackle work best. These flies do a good job of imitating drifting larvae and deep emerging pupae. A standard procedure, especially when fishing from a boat, is to hang a sunken pattern below a buoyant dry fly. Obviously, Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators and Convertibles work as indicators, and fool a number of fish on top. However, when the fish are keyed in on emerging pupa, they are better indicators than fish-catchers. This is especially true as the hatch progresses and fish are looking for the easiest meal.\n\nI wanted to come up with an effective surface emerger that would still hold up a sunken pupa or larva, so I dug into my materials and selected what I needed. Foam was one of the necessary components and the introduction of 1mm thick foam made it a viable option. Elk or deer are the standard caddis emerger wings, but I was looking for something that could be revived quickly after catching a trout. This is very important when float fishing in fast spring flows. You don’t have the luxury to stop and tie on a new fly when the current is taking you quickly past one great spot after another. The super buoyant snowshoe rabbit foot was a good choice for the wing. Antron and caddis seem to go hand in hand. I chose those for the body, shuck and halo. I applied the collar like I would on an Ultra Zug. This gives the fly a buggier look.\n\n“Take Me to The River, Drop Me In The Water.” (Al Green and the Talking Heads)\n\nI tied up a few prototypes, and made an evening drive from Jackson, Wyoming to Livingston.\n\nI hit the water with friends the following morning. The water was tinted and a little high from the start of runoff, but at a manageable level. I tied on the new caddis with a Glass House a foot below it. It didn’t take long to see rising fish. The trout were there, but they certainly wouldn’t move to a fly. They were well fed. When I concentrated on rise forms and put the fly in their mouth, the fish generally ate. Half of the fish were feeding on top and the other half were eating below the surface—the double rig was the way to go. The new emerger functioned very well. Fish ate it, and it held up the double bead Glass House Caddis. A few times it went underneath, then popped back to the surface, floating like a cork, nymph in tow. The natural cream snowshoe rabbit foot was easy to pick out, which was very important with the number of naturals on the water—rafts of bugs, millions of them, are seen on the water when the hatch really comes off.\n\nOne of the more interesting catches of the day was a brown trout and whitefish double. Whitey on top and the brown below. There goes the neighborhood. Oh well. The new emerger worked well into the evening hours as adult caddis came back to the water to lay eggs. All in all, it was a good inaugural float for the new caddis on the block. And it was a good thing that I fished that day, because the next afternoon runoff started in earnest, with the Yellowstone changing to mocha latte color. That was the end of quality fishing for a couple months.\n\nOther Uses For This Multitasker\n\nIn the past few years, the Everfloat Caddis Emerger has fooled fish on many western waters. It works during caddis hatches, but it is also a good attractor pattern. Whether you are wade or float fishing it is easy to follow and is perfectly adapted to the choppy water and pockets where the naturals are found. Besides Antron dubbing, Mylar dubbing, such as Hareline’s Polar Dub, makes a great looking and effective caddis body, shuck and halo.\n\nI like my Glass House Caddis as a dropper when fishing the Everfloat, but my Ultra Zug in peacock, olive and tan can be used to imitate many caddis. The Beady Eye Caddis also works as a subsurface emerger. I like to use a two-to three-inch long tag from a blood knot to tie on my Everfloat Caddis Emerger. I believe this dropper style makes it easier to hook fish, and with the short tag it rarely tangles. It may take a little experimenting to get the proper depth for the sunken caddis. As a general rule, early in the day or during the early part of the hatch, you need to fish deeper. As the hatch progresses, pupae climb up the water column and require a shallow presentation. A buoyant emerger can be your ace in a variety conditions, for trout feeding up top or just below.", null, "Step 1: Cement the hook, start your thread.

[ "In February 2022, USIP created the nonpartisan Senior Study Group on Coastal West Africa to identify specific programs and interventions that the United States and other international partners can offer coastal West African governments and civil societies to help prevent conflict and support lasting peace in the subregion . Comprised of 11 former senior policymakers, private sector leaders and respected academics from the United States and West Africa, the senior study group will look at a number of underlying problems that undermine the subregion’s democracy and stability — including unequal and inadequate development, marginalized communities and weak institutions of accountability.\n\nIn coastal West Africa, the reversal of democratic norms and a growing susceptibility to violent extremism highlight the challenges facing the subregion’s stability and economic development. As a major source of two-way trade with the United States, the heavily populated subregion is situated near critical Gulf of Guinea shipping lines — which have attracted the attention of both U.S. allies and adversaries and been the subject of piracy, oil bunkering and illegal fishing.\n\nHowever, there are opportunities for the United States and its African partners to get ahead of these growing threats. The USIP Senior Study Group on Coastal West Africa is working to better pinpoint the risks for violent conflict in each country and inform U.S policy towards the subregion.\n\nBetween February and August 2022, the senior study group will have a series of six discussions that consider the political and socioeconomic vulnerabilities reshaping dynamics in the subregion. The findings of these discussions will be compiled and disseminated as a final report to inform the approach of U.S. and international partners in strengthening conflict prevention and addressing the factors that undermine democracy and stability in the subregion.", null ]

[ null, "A cold front is moving in, leaving us socked in with cloud cover – leaving no hope of seeing the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction. Well, I saw it clearly last Wednesday. I spent the morning hunkering down with María (our bookkeeper) to see how we could find money to give people a Christmas bonus. It won’t be a fortune, but we found something at least. And then hunkered with Luis about the WEB page and the Christmas things we have up on it. I’m really happy with it. For English speakers: PLAYER 1 - and some colonial villancicos with commentary in English: PLAYER 2 - and another PLAYER 3:\n\nAnd then in the afternoon I did what I could with the problem we are having with mail for our newsletters. From the one in March when all closed down (at least we hadn’t paid for the stamps) to one in June that never got anywhere to one in September which we sent from the newly reopened Progreso post office and which disappeared into a black hole. From that experience we decided to print and send from Philadelphia (donde my sister Pat lives) for the Christmas newsletter and just as soon as they get in the mail there is a massive snow storm in Philadelphia and mail is held up. So I sent out a digital copy today to what addresses I have.\n\nThe cold front is upon us. It has been overcast all day, with considerable rain in the afternoon. Luis spent the day finalizing the edition of Navidad Nuestra and has declared it finished. I haven’t heard it yet, but I know that Edy is content with it. Radio Progreso is going to pass it 5 times on the 24th and 25th. That’s certainly blanket coverage. Tomorrow national flights will begin at the airport. I imagine that those are just the little planes of half a dozen passengers and that all the stuff of immigration and customs won’t be working yet. American Airlines has announced it will begin flights 14 January. The saga of the mobile hospitals struck a new note yesterday. 19 november (in the midst of the hurricanes) the last three (of seven) mobile hospitals arrived on a Turkish ship to Puerto Cortés. They are 29 containers each for the three destined for Juticalpa, Danlí and La Ceiba. They were in customs inspection forever. Yesterday they were transporting the containers destined for Juticalpa and one of them had a traffic accident and the unit was ruined. The organizers claim they are insured. But it sounds like it’s going to be a while before that hospital gets into working order. Saturday the 26th the one for La Ceiba makes that journey. No word on the one for Danlí. It is worth mentioning that only one of the seven hospitals which cost 47 million dollars is functioning, the one in San Pedro Sula.\n\nWednesday, December 23, 2020 - The official statistics page has not been updated.\n\nThe word is that cases have skyrocketed. That is no surprise; once the hurricanes hit, biosecurity disappeared. The national health authorities have taken to sending out universal text messages trying to get people to observe the biosecurity measures. Once the hurricanes left, Christmas shopping started, and people are clearly looking to Christmas as a relief after a horrible year. With Luis we got the year’s newsletters up on our WEB page today. Finally all four of them are available after all our mail odyssey adventures. Honduras has joined the countries prohibiting the entrance of people from the UK and South Africa. The accident of the mobile hospital grows more baroque by the day. Turns out the problem was overhanging branches. The module was the heart of the ICU, so the whole apparatus is useless without this module. Which is insured, we are assured. But how long will that take? It was clear most of the day but it clouded up in the afternoon and rained a bit – and gave us another cloudy night when we couldn’t see the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction.\n\nYesterday was a beautiful day; today is miserable, rainy and cold. The big Honduran celebration of Christmas is the night of the 24th / 25. Tamales are the basic foodstuffs. Most people have a dinner in the evening and spend the whole night in family at home or visiting friends. All the houses are open for visitors – some people read the origin of the custom in the idea that we keep our house open in case Mary and Joseph show up looking for a place to stay. I had Mass in Pénjamo at 5:00, then went at 8:00 for dinner with Lizeth’s (Edy’s wife) family. I was (and remain) rather nervous about it. No masks and a lot of people. But it was outside and I kept my distance. Afterwards I went to Chito’s house; his daughter Karol (who works in San Pedro Sula and whom we now get to see very rarely) has today and tomorrow off. I was home by 11:00 and in bed by 11:30. Today we had an almuerzo with all the Jesuits. Radio Progreso has broadcast Navidad Nuestra five times yesterday and today (this version is 23 minutes). I’m satisfied with the outcome. There is a lot that could be better, but there is a lot that is good. The music is very weak. We just don’t have singing voices with the present group; that shows up a lot more in the recording than in live performance. Various other stations are transmitting it as well in various parts of the country, as well as Una Navidad en Honduras, our pioneering experiment in radioteatro several years ago. So we have managed to get pretty good coverage this Christmas in spite of everything.\n\nVery cold and rainy – a miserable day for people in shelters. La Prensa says we can expect four days of this. I went downtown in the morning and again in the late afternoon. Very little activity both times. Everybody is nursing their hangovers.\n\nAnother cold day, although at least there was little rain. But once again we haven’t been able to see the Saturn/Jupiter conjunction. Today was my brother Mike’s birthday, and we managed a family virtual celebration via zoom. We managed to unite all the living siblings, as well as George Whitt (sister Mary’s widower – if that’s the way you say it) and a couple of the nieces and nephews. It was quite a pleasant celebration of a family Christmas." ]

[ null, "One of the things I’ve realised in lockdown is that, for the most part, I’ve separated my creative work from my domestic life. Our home is a haven where I may do admin, squeeze a dance class into the space available and roll out a yoga mat, but it’s not really the place for making work. So I’ve done my DownDog yoga, my Cunningham classes online with the teachers in New York and my Freeletics fitness training during lockdown, but I haven’t found it so easy to connect to a sustaining creative impulse. I think it’s been deliberate that I’ve maintained a separation between home and that work over the years and I’m very mindful of how the imperative to connect online has forced many people to share their private spaces for work – whether it’s in lockdown performances or professional meetings.\n\nI’ve felt it a kind of pressure to find what the next creative impulse would be. Despite knowing that this should be a time for listening, for slowing down, a time where for me the lockdown corresponds with a period of post-NDCWales reflection and recovery, I’ve nonetheless been asking myself who I am if I’m not somewhere in a process of making work. Having a chance to reflect on that in a talk I put together for the Modes of Capture Symposium helped me take some of the pressure off as I recognised that I had a body of work to build on rather than a blank canvas that needed to be filled in.\n\nSo when John Scott invited me to present a performance in his Dancer from the Dance Festival this year, I did have somewhere to go. I’d spoken about Cure in the talk for the Modes of Capture symposium, as a work, though apparently solo, that was made through the support and care of others, a work of recovery that felt apposite today in personal and global terms. I thought in particular about the final section of Cure, choreographed by Sarah Browne, which was developed from a latex sculpture she created. The sheet of rubber was built up by repeated careful layering of liquid latex on a section of Sarah’s studio flooring. It carried the distinctive markings of that floor like a fingerprint and I remember dancing with the sheet – a welcoming skin and a prophylactic barrier – and feeling like I was dancing with the physical work and focus it took for Sarah to make the sculpture. I decided that I would return to this section for the Dance from the Dance performance and it was immediately energising to be back in creative conversation with Sarah. It was energising to recognise that the work in Cure still had resonance, and that there are resources in what I’ve done already that will help me figure out what I should be doing now.", null, "The fact that I had two iterations of Sarah’s sculpture with me at home in London made this process possible. The latex sheet is a dance partner, with a physicality and capacity that feeds what’s possible in the choreography. In Cure, I would make an incision in the sheet at the end of each performance (one carefully marked out by Mags Corscadden, the stage manager) and then wear the sculpture over me. I’d kept the one from our last performance (in Hong Kong) and had an additional uncut sheet. As soon as I opened the bag in which I kept them, I remembered and felt the atmosphere the latex created – the smell of rubber and talc, the soft touch, the taste of salt from Stéphane’s section of Cure now mixed with my sweat on that sheet previously used in performance. For this performance, I was reluctant to cut the only remaining complete sheet of latex, so I worked with the cut version instead, suturing the cut with sellotape that made it like a scar.", null, null, "Talking to Sarah by Skype, it was interesting to think about what this rubber sculpture communicated in the era of PPE. We’d thought about HIV and the protective barrier of latex in intimacy already when we were making Cure. In addition to those abiding health and medical resonances, Sarah’s recent work on fitness and bodily training, Public feeling, came to the fore as I connected my work on Latex (2020) to the fitness training I’ve been doing in lockdown – an AI-mediated fitness app called Freeletics – and to the many others doing their fitness training around me on the cricket pitch near my home where I ended up filming the performance. I filmed different versions over a couple of weeks, figuring out what to wear, what framing seemed right, what different weather conditions communicated. The version we chose for the performance in Dancer from the Dance is filmed on a sunny day with a lot of bird song and planes flying overhead. It’s Walthamstow in East London so not the rural Ireland I’ve seen in some of the work commissioned for the Modes of Capture symposium. I was a little envious of the space and privacy rural living might afford those performances and was very aware on this cricket pitch in London that I was claiming public space for my less usual activity. Part of the work of the performance was making that claim, mustering the courage to be visibly performing my physicality where others were doing theirs.", null, "Alma Kelliher who composed and designed the sound for Cure, reworked her design for Latex (2020) keeping the ambient sound of the recording to acknowledge the circumstances in which it was performed and filmed. I’m very happy with the outcome – in the filmed performance that will be shared online through John Scott’s festival but also in my body and mind that have been re-energised by the chance to work on this choreography and with Sarah and Alma. This, I hope, is the way to move forward.", null ]

Trained at the Werkkunstschule in Offenbach, Kieser began his career as a free-lance artist in 1949 and founded a studio with Hans Michel in 1952. The two artists worked on projects for the German Mail Service and the Hesse radio network and started creating posters for Lippmann & Rau, founders of the first German Jazz concert agencies.\n\nOver the next decade, Kieser and Michel would design posters for the concerts by Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, and John Coltrane.\n\nWhen his partnership with Michel ended in 1962, Kieser continued to work primarily for Lippmann & Rau, producing posters that would become fixtures in the music scene. His posters were displayed in concert halls, bars and on billboards. His treatment of political topics and current issues gave his work an iconic look and feel. Keiser’s Jimi Hendrix Experience poster, 1969, is one of his most popular designs stamped in the memory of a post modern generation.\n\nKieser joined the Deutscher Werkbund (German Work Federation) in 1956 and became a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) in 1964. In 1981, he became a professor for Visual Communication at the Bergische Universität in Wuppertal, a position he held until 1992. Kieser has won numerous international awards, his work has been exhibited worldwide and his posters are part of every important museum collection.\n\nMeggs’ History of Graphic Design categorizes Keiser in the European Visual Poet camp.

According to the Alliance Graphique Internationale, “Günther Kieser is engaged in poster design, laying out clear principles of form and colour. Bound to strict aesthetic approaches, these posters are Kieser’s way of making contact with people and leading them to a responsible form of creation and interaction. Postermaking can be both a matter of power and a delightful and intelligent method of liberal communication. Instructive, not destructive – that is the central issue of his art.”\n\nGünther Kieser still lives and works in Germany, having celebrated his 89th birthday in 2019." ]

[ null, "I am interested in history, which since Friday has felt like a bad thing. It was in the countryside, in all those English market towns and villages where people revere “heritage” that the EU referendum vote was lost. In the cities full of cranes and change, Remain did well. For a few hours on Friday morning I wanted to turn my back on history. But then I reminded myself that heritage is not history. History shows that Britain has never really been an island. Its road system still reflects the influence of the Romans; its language is full of words derived from successive waves of Saxon, Scandinavian and Norman invaders; its laws revere a document called the Magna Carta signed by French nobles; its brief history as a global power owes much to continental banking ideas that came to Britain with the Dutch monarch, William of Orange. “Heritage” ignores all this. Heritage describes something that comes to you as a reason of birth. It suggests not so much what happened, as the picking through what happened to bolster a sense of entitlement. Since Friday morning entitlement has been revealed as empty posturing, and it has become clear that English Heritage is an organisation that should change its name. Maybe then we’d be more sensible, and not base decisions on an illusory, puffed up sense of identity that bears little relation to the actual events of the past." ]

The Boston Globe is surrendering all pretense of non-partisanship by partnering with an especially radical black academic to launch The Emancipator, “an independent antiracist multimedia platform.” The venture was announced March 16.\n\nIbram X. Kendi, director of Boston University’s Center for Antiracist Research, is the key collaborator in the new effort. Kendi takes a severely rigid approach to his war against racism. “There is no such thing as a not-racist idea,” he has written, only “racist ideas and antiracist ideas.” Kendi literally sees racism everywhere. “Every policy in every institution in every community in every nation is producing or sustaining either racial inequity or equity,” he has stated.\n\nAlso onboard are incendiary MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid and Nikole Hannah-Jones, who spearheaded The New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project. Hannah-Jones ludicrously was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for the identity politics re-telling of the founding of this nation despite her writings being filled with basic errors relating to American history.\n\nPolitical Operatives With A Newspaper Masthead\n\nMost striking about this latest venture is its overtly political nature, operating under the auspices of the city’s leading newspaper. A post on the project on Boston University’s website spells things out unmistakably. The GOP is specifically cast as the opposition in The Globe’s quest for racial justice:\n\n“The timing of The Emancipator, which is expected to launch by this summer, is noteworthy. It comes as President Joe Biden moves to address racial inequities amid the growth of white supremacist groups and domestic terrorism, and with opposition from many Republicans who remain loyal to former President Trump, despite his role in inciting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by Confederate flag–waving white rioters. Republicans are also stepping up efforts aimed at reducing the Black vote.”\n\nA “Meet the Founders & Advisory Board” post on The Globe’s website further lays out the progressive activist nature of the new platform. Emancipatorco-founder (along with Kendi) Bina Venkataraman is The Globe’s editorial page editor. “She formerly served as a climate and science policy adviser in the Obama administration” before joining the paper, her bio reads.\n\nOther names listed include:\n\nIn other words, The Emancipator is a political organization pursuing purely partisan goals while being sponsored by a brand-name big-box American newspaper.\n\n“We’re thinking of the city of Boston as being a pioneer in this regard,” Monica Wang, an associate professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, says of the platform’s mission. “How can we lead the way in showcasing antiracist opinion, ideas, and data-driven solutions to promote equity in government, industry, media, the nonprofit world, and other spheres of influence?”\n\nProjects like this from prominent and once-great journalistic giants lead one to wonder whether establishment journalism has become a lost cause." ]

At some point, my wife asked me to find a job that wouldn’t require us to move all the time and that was how I ended up working for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). I arrived at NIH first as a medical officer, but because of my industry experience, especially in drug development, I was eventually promoted to become the director of the Office of Biodefense Research Affairs at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) within the NIH. After more than 14 years at NIAID, I took a new position as the Director for the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) Division of Clinical Innovation, which manages the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program. I really enjoy working at NIH as I have the opportunity to engage with researchers in academia, in large and small companies, and other federal and state institutions, such as the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, NSC, FDA, and CDC, in addition to international bodies.\n\nFrom graduate/medical school to academia to industry and finally to NIH: which transition was the hardest to make? Why?\n\nMy transition to NIH was the hardest to make. It was hard because my expectation was different, and I had no good sense of how the NIH really operates and what it does. For example, in addition to shepherding science research, there is an expectation that the NIH can explain everything to the public, the White House, and Congress. Most scientists are only well-equipped to communicate with other scientists, even though we really should be providing information in a way that the target audience can find relevant. In science, we always talk about publication and research grants as output. But beyond output, there is outcome, which is the actual impactful result that most interests non-scientists: Can this study produce a new treatment? New predictive tests? Reduce cost? We need to be able to answer those concerns.\n\nTell us more about your current position at NIH. Do you still get the chance to conduct research as a Division Director of NCATS?\n\nMuch of what I do currently is administrative. About 90% of the total NIH budget goes to extramural funding (beyond NIH). Specifically, I oversee the CTSA program funding of $540 million which funds exclusively extramural research efforts, in addition to numerous scholarships and fellowships programs for pre- and postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty members. We also support clinical research innovations, such as how to increase the retention rates of patients in clinical trials.\n\nWhat is your favorite thing about what you do? What has been the most surprising thing about it?\n\nThe most fun part of what I do is actually going out and visiting institutions to engage with junior researchers and faculties, which is where a lot of the real cutting-edge, next-generation ideas are coming from. We want to help them translate their science into interventions and innovations that improve the health of individuals and the public. In the past, this process was rather simple as companies would usually approach scientists following a eureka moment to implement a study. But now, these companies want to see results before investing their money. To do this, we need a team of specialists with a wide array of expertise, including medicinal chemists, formulation technologists, toxicologists, and regulatory specialists, to come together to get started on even the early phases of clinical trial protocols. I enjoy what I do because the CTSA, which I oversee, actively helps researchers with streamlining this process and creating viable ways to address problems that we did not even consider as problems before.\n\nYou have also led several initiatives with international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO). How did those experiences differ from working for national and local organizations and institutions?\n\nI was recently involved in the WHO Ebola Science committee and chaired the Scientific and Technical Advisory committee that advised the WHO on the full range of Ebola interventions. In general, the WHO has no authority and mainly acts as a coordinator and organizer in what they want the member countries to focus on. We were the go-to people, the funders, and the majority of our focus was on inclusion (bringing people together) and diplomacy, which is different from a national institution like the NIH.\n\nDo you have any advice for current graduate students who are still unsure about whether they should pursue academic, industry, or public-sector work after they graduate?\n\nI would say that the most important thing is to be open-minded. I suggest that students take advantage of opportunities where they can experience other environments, even within their respective fields, such as the governmental policy or industrial side. For example, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) sponsors internships and fellowships for pre- and postdoctoral researchers to work within their fields but from the policy side. Some do end up working for congressional committees as staffers to provide scientific input that helps lawmakers make decisions. I think we need to get away from the notion, especially in the pure sciences, that we should not deal with problems or projects that are too practical or too political. The truth is, as soon as someone other than the scientists cares about a particular issue, that issue becomes a political one. So be open, take advantage of opportunities to enrich and understand the broadened relationship of what you do within your field to the rest of the world.", null, "Hananiel Setiawan is currently a Ph.D. student in Medical Physics and a Duke University Scholars Program Graduate Fellow studying the application of physics in the field of medicine.

These occur when the deviation involves the front end of the septum which lies just behind the columella. (caudal septum) This is when the patient sees a bulge sticking into one of the nostrils. This protrusion is the end of the septum that is not where it is supposed to be….in the midline. This not only causes a change in the size of the affected nostril but often causes a twist in the columella as well.", null, "During an open rhinoplasty direct access can be made to the deviated end of the septum. In some cases it is only the end of the septum that needs to be relocated back to the midline. But in other cases the deviation comes further back and this must be corrected as well.", null, "To support further tip reshaping surgery cartilage grafts can be harvested and used to create a columellar strut graft. This not only helps to support the tip cartilage changes but can also be attached to the repositioned midline septum to help support its position.\n\nGetting the end of the septum back into the midline during an open rhinoplasty gets rid of the nostril bulge for the obvious reason and one not so obvious reason. It also allows the displaced medial footplate of the lower alar cartilage which has been pushed by the deviated septum into the nostril to resume its more natural near midline position along the side of the columella." ]

[ null, "Hanns Seidel began a fundamental modernisation of the CSU\n\nHanns Seidel (1901–1961) was born in the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg and earned his law degree in 1929. He became a member of the Bayerische Volkspartei (BVP) in 1932 and the next year ran in the city council elections in his home town. After the Nazis took power, Seidel was taken into “protective custody” because he had been protecting a large number of Jews. Hanns Seidel served in the military from 1940–1945. Once the war was over, the American military government appointed politically respectable Seidel District Administrator of Aschaffenburg. In 1946, he successfully ran for election as a CSU candidate for the Constituent Assembly and the Bavarian Landtag (state parliament).\n\nIn September 1947, Prime Minister Hans Ehard appointed the expert Hanns Seidel Bavarian State Minister of Economics. The CSU parliamentary group elected him their spokesperson in 1954, making him the opposition leader to the Coalition of Four (SPD, Bayernpartei, FDP, GB/BHE). In 1955, as the new party chairman, along with his Secretary General, Friedrich Zimmerman, he began a fundamental modernisation and reorganisation of the CSU. When the Coalition of Four collapsed in 1957, the CSU once again formed a government and the Landtag appointed Hanns Seidel Minister President of the State of Bavaria by a majority. The population rewarded Seidel’s expertise and gave the CSU its best outcome since 1946 in the 1958 regional elections with nearly 50 % of the vote. It was with great regret that Seidel was forced to\nresign as Minister President in 1960 and CSU party chair the following year due to a back injury he suffered in an\naccident. Hanns Seidel died as a result of his injuries on 5 August 1961. A few months later, planning began for a\nfoundation affiliated with the party and was named after Hanns Seidel." ]

[ "As news of Che Guevara’s death spread around the world in 1967, an independent label declared a cultural revolution in Bavaria. 2017 marks the 50th birthday of the Trikont record company, still a subversive thorn in the establishment’s side today.\n\nFor the last 50 years, the Trikont independent record label has been known for its heady mixture of unconventional music and anti-authoritarian attitudes. Originally founded in 1967 in Munich as a book publisher, Trikont’s claim to be “probably the world’s oldest independent label” has the ring of truth. The name is derived from the 1966 Solidarity Conference of the Peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America, also known as the Tricontinental Conference, held in Cuba at which delegates from the three regions called for an end to Western hegemony. Around the same time in Southern Germany, Trikont was building a home for left-wing, alternative musicians as the 1968 movement gathered momentum.\n\nThe first of the 492 releases to date was entitled Wir befreien uns selbst (We are liberating ourselves) by the Arbeitersache München band. The record features twelve songs of rebellious worker’s folklore, titles like Akkord ist Mord (Piecework is Murder) and Bei BMW wird gestreikt (They’re striking at BMW). Trikont would later release the legendary Keine Macht Für Niemand (No Power for No One) from Ton Steine Scherben, still a must-have for any vinyl lover’s punk-inspired record collection today. Some of the books published by Trikont included the Mao bible, selected writings from Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh, and the Bolivian Diary of Che Guevara, executed in Bolivia the same year the publishing house was born. In 1980, the company dissolved the publishing wing to reform as independent record label now called “Trikont – Unsere Stimme – Our own Voice”. The record company doesn’t necessarily see itself on an ideological mission today, but it remains critical, rebellious, subversive, and yet somehow essentially Bavarian.\n\nTrikont boss Achim Bergmann, himself a Bavarian icon, has been with the label for 50 years. In 1990, he and his wife Eva Mair-Holmes took the helm. Bergmann has no qualms about voicing his opinions and joining the political fray. At the Frankfurt Book Fair in autumn 2017, the 70-yer-old music producer’s loud interjections to protest far-right rhetoric at an event held by the right-leaning “Junge Freiheit” weekly paper earned him a punch in the face, leaving Bergmann with a bloody lip. Eva Mair-Holmes responded by denouncing the far-right’s emerging sense of self-confidence on Facebook. Her post went viral, kicking off heated debate. The altercation didn’t discourage Bergmann one bit. Like his label, he may be getting older, but he is not about to go gently into that good night. [Editorial note: Achim Bergmann died on 1 March 2018.]\n\nKeeping up with Spotify\n\nToday, Trikont has a broader musical base than ever before and works with musicians from a wide range of genres and styles. Artists include rapper Textor, the Express Brass Band, and Munich-based Japanese Coconami, known for their polyphonic vocals underscored by ukulele and recorder. The Bavarian dialect has also always felt at home with Trikont. Along with singer-songwriter Hans Söllner, the label now distributes new folk music by artists like Kofelgschroa. In the 1990s, Schwoißfuaß’s ‘dialect rock’ caused a sensation with its provocative Bavarian lyrics. Trikont also has a sense of humour, as evidenced by the Café Unterzucker band, author and musician Eric Pfeil, and, until a few years ago, musician and actor Rocko Schamoni. If there is anything that unites Trikot artists, it would have to be a drive to be different and go against the grain.\n\nWhile the label has never focused on commercial success, you don’t get to be 50 on a diet of bread and Red alone, certainly not in the age of iTunes and Spotify. Trikont keeps up with the latest technology, releasing MP3 downloads and vinyl to keep both the smartphone crowd and retro fans in the re-emerging record market happy. It also relies on the art of the compilation. Series like Stimmen Bayerns (Voices of Bavaria) and La Paloma reveal the label’s flexibility. Trikont appealed to a wider public with its recent Russendisko (Russian Disco) series. Based on author Valdimir Kaminer’s best seller and film of the same name, Trikont published three compilation albums of Russian and Ukrainian music to accompany his European club tour.", null ]

The Indonesian military and police are set to imminently storm two West Papuan villages and take villagers there “dead or alive”. We are extremely worried about all civilians, especially women and children and we call upon the world to please closely monitor the situation.", null, "In the past few days, news has filtered out through West Papua about of a standoff between Indonesian military and police personnel, and West Papuan “rebels” in the Tembagapura region; which is located right next to the world’s largest goldmine of operated by Freeport McMoRan.\n\nAt least 200, and possibly up to 700 Indonesian military and police personnel are currently surrounding the villages of Banti and Kimberly and are imposing a blockade, making it almost impossible for people to leave and enter. According to latest reports, the Indonesian Security Forces are set to imminently storm the villages, with Indonesian police spokesperson Suryadi Diaz saying of the 100-people targeted, ‘They will be taken dead or alive,’.\n\nThe Indonesian government’s hoax claims of a “hostage crisis”\n\nThe Indonesian government’s justification for its raid is that around 100 West Papuans from the area are holding 1300 people, mostly their own relatives, “as hostages” in their own villages however as Natalius Pigai, from the National Human Rights Commission, has confirmed, “I assure you there is no hostage situation. It is impossible (they) would hold their own relatives hostage.” He also stated, “People are terrified, that’s why (the Free Papua group) are standing guard…so the military cannot enter,”", null, "Jonathan Kibak, a community leader from Banti told Fairfax Media, “I would like to stress we are not being held hostage,” He confirmed that West Papuans had no desire to leave the area but that they were frightened of the Indonesian military and police. Of the few Indonesian migrants also living in the area, Jonathan told the media, “They are safe, they are not being treated differently. They are our neighbours.” He also said, “No one in the village is being stopped from doing daily activities.”\n\nIndonesian human rights lawyer Veronica Koman has also testified that villagers are living in fear of the Indonesian security forces. She told Radio New Zealand, “Police and military have been patrolling there, like stationed there. And what prevents the villagers to go back and forth is that they are terrified by the Indonesian police and military,” she said. “They are afraid that they will get shot. So that’s what is actually happening there.”\n\nMeanwhile the Indonesian military and police are trying to stir up panic, describing the situation as a “hostage” crisis in order to justify armed military raids on West Papuan villages openly speaking out against the Indonesian occupation of West Papua and the Grasberg Mine operated by Freeport McMoRan.", null, "They asked her, “Who are you spending this lot on?” and she replied that she is buying groceries because there is hunger in around 7 villages.\n\nAccording to Radio New Zealand, Indonesian human rights lawyer Veronica Koman said that ‘contrary to Indonesian media reports, the heavy presence of the security forces was hampering, rather than assisting, the villagers’ ability to access their food gardens.’\n\n“They are being intimidated and reluctant to garden, so they’ve just been living and eating just by buying stuff from kiosks. But they’ve also been intimidated by lots of questions by police and military while they buy their food.\n\n“So the Papua [provincial] government has been trying to send food to Banti village, but police blocked this access,”\n\n‘While police conducted a ceremonial opening of access to the village, the villagers still had not received the food from the provincial government.’\n\nThe Indonesian military and police have a long history of lying to the international community in West Papua. It is extremely difficult to verify reports from the two villages right now. We hope that more international media as possible will be able to freely enter Tembagapura and accurately report on the real situation, helping to expose what the Indonesian military and police are really doing there.\n\nWe call upon the international community to keep an eye on the urgent situation in West Papua and to advocate for an immediate peaceful solution to the crisis in Tembagapura.\n\nWe call upon the Indonesian military and police to stop their blockade and allow the people of the villages freedom of movement as well as access to food and medical supplies.\n\nThe situation in Tembagapura illustrates the climate of violence, fear and misinformation which thrives in occupied West Papua. There is an urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the suffering in West Papua which addresses the root cause of the problems and allows the West Papuan people to determine their own destiny through an Internationally Supervised Vote on self-determination." ]

I would battle with him later, but at this point, I needed to focus on getting away from Amelia and saving any shred of dignity that I had left. If she managed to wrestle me into the pink pyjamas that would be it…I could not go on. How could I ever look at myself in the mirror again if she defeated me?\n\nShe carried me over to the closet and sorted through outfit after pink outfit until she finally selected the perfect one. Let’s get one thing straight, I’m not opposed to wearing clothes, after all, I have a Batman shirt, multiple capes and of course a suit of armour but doesn’t everyone?\n\n“OK! Let’s put these on!” Amelia squealed as she showed me a nightgown that had frills and ribbons and sequins. I shuddered and clenched my jaw. I wanted to fight back, I really did, but I had no choice but to just lay there and let her put the pyjamas on me. The last thing I wanted was to wear the pyjamas, but more importantly, I didn’t want to be seen as a monster, and I knew that if I attacked her word would get out and no one would ever work for me again. My plans for world domination were more important than my pride at this second.\n\nShe slid the nightgown over my head and put my arms through the sleeves. There was snickering coming from the corner, and I wriggled around to witness Simba covering his mouth and trying not to laugh. Vengence would be mine as soon as I got out of here.", null ]

[ null, null, "”There is not a place for Showtime anymore“ in Paramount Global’s future revenue plans, one industry insider says\n\nDavid Nevins’ surprise exit as the top executive at Showtime Networks after an impressive 12-year run signals a troubled path forward for the premium cable channel as a standalone brand in the streaming-first, consolidation-focused industry, insiders said.\n\nNevins, who was promoted only a year ago to chief content officer for all Showtime and Paramount+ scripted originals, last week announced his plans to depart a company that, according to one individual with knowledge of the corporate culture, has become overrun with “powerful bros” jockeying for position under CEO Bob Bakish. But the underlying business prospects for Showtime remain challenging, especially without Nevins to champion the brand.\n\n“This should be the curtain call for Showtime,” David Offenberg, an associate professor of finance at Loyola Marymount University focusing on the entertainment business, told TheWrap. “As Paramount Global works to rebrand under the Paramount name and shift focus to the revenue streams of the future, there is not a place for Showtime anymore.”\n\nIndeed, Showtime exists as something of an anomaly for its parent company: a linear premium cable channel with a record of producing prestige hits under Nevins such as “Billions” and “Yellowjackets” but that has seen a steady decline in subscribers given the twin forces of cord-cutting and streaming. Already, there are reports company executives are considering how to merge Showtime into Paramount+. (A representative for the company didn’t respond to requests for comment for this story.)", null, "Also Read:\nDavid Nevins Steps Down as Head of Showtime at Paramount Global\n\n“Showtime lost half a million subscribers [in the first quarter], that’s not a good sign in terms of its standalone strengths,” said Tom Nunan, a former network and studio executive who served as an executive producer on the Oscar-winning film “Crash.”\n\nMeanwhile, the company reported in August that Paramount+ had grown to 43.3 million subscribers worldwide and a total of 64 million across all of its streaming platforms, including Showtime, Noggin and BET+. There was no individual breakdown for Showtime.\n\nGiven the downward trend for linear channels like Showtime, Offenberg said, “The Showtime content must be fully incorporated into the Paramount+ service soon so Paramount+ can stand a chance of competing in the emerging streaming landscape.”\n\nBut like many Hollywood conglomerates, there are risks in shutting down Showtime’s linear networks too quickly since they continue to generate substantial, if declining, revenue. And Paramount could use the income even as CEO Bob Bakish has managed to reduce the company’s debt from $19.2 billion just after completing its merger of CBS and Viacom in December 2019 to $16.4 billion as of June 30.", null, "Under Nevins’ watch, the premium cable channel has remained an extremely valuable asset under the Paramount+ umbrella to attract subscribers seeking what Nunan describes as “premium R-rated entertainment.”\n\nBut without Nevins at the helm, will Paramount will be willing to invest as much in bold content for Showtime rather than building up the Paramount+ brand? “We live in a hit-driven business, and things change,” Nunan said. “To create hits, you have to have a budget to have failures. It takes 10, 12 big swings to get your ‘Squid Game,’ or your ‘Succession,’ you’ve got to have robust budget to play with, or else it makes every single move life or death.”\n\nParamount+ is a more mass-market platform than Showtime, where Nevins championed such award-winning shows as “Homeland,” “Dexter,” “Ray Donovan” and the “Twin Peaks” revival. Indeed, the Amherst-educated Nevins may have seemed like an odd man out in the current Paramount Global executive culture under CEO Bob Bakish.\n\n“There’s a heavy group of testosterone Velociraptors over there,” an individual with knowledge of Paramount Global culture told TheWrap, adding that the presence of so many “powerful bros” at the top could create added stress for executives from the old regime like Nevins. In addition to Bakish, who has served as president and CEO of Paramount Global since 2019, two other executives stand to gain from Nevins’ departure: Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of MTV Entertainment Group, and Paramount Network head Keith Cox. Under the new structure, Showtime’s network business moves under the leadership of McCarthy, while Tom Ryan will take over Showtime’s streaming operations.", null, "“This has it roots — delayed by the pandemic — in Nevins being passed over to replace [former CBS CEO Leslie] Moonves,” entertainment analyst Jeff Wlodarczak told TheWrap in an email. (Moonves was ousted as CBS chief in 2018 after accusations of sexual harassment, which allowed Viacom CEO Bob Bakish to take over when CBS and Viacom re-merged.)\n\nStill, Nevins’ exit also allows Paramount Global to continue shifting its content strategy — and investment — away from linear channels like Showtime to full-on streaming. “When you have a major talent decide to step away from the management of one of these places, it usually signals some form of contraction versus expansion,” Nunan said. “This could be sending a signal that they hope to be maintaining these brands with less firepower and possibly with less budget.”\n\nAnd as the smallest of the legacy Hollywood studios, Paramount Global faces some steep challenges going forward in the increasingly competitive streaming wars. “Showtime — and Paramount+ — in streaming are trying to compete against massive players, which is not going to be very easy,” Wlodarczak said.\n\nAs for Nevins, he may just be the latest top industry executive who’s decided to chuck a high-stress oversight post to focus on content production that is more his passion. “Or, who knows, maybe do an NFT company — that seems to be the craze right now — and make a lot of money off of that,” joked Bryan Sullivan, a partner at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae who focuses on entertainment and investment.", null, null ]

[ null, "The coronavirus pandemic has increased the gender equality gap but efforts aimed at tackling systemic inequalities provide hope for the future.\nThe theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is ‘Women in Leadership’.\n\nThis year’s theme for International Women’s Day (IWD) is, ‘Women in Leadership: achieving equality in a COVID-19 world’.\n\nNever before has there been a global event which has brought the leading women of science, medicine and politics to the attention of the media and from there, almost daily into the minds and homes of all citizens simultaneously.\n\nHopefully, this degree of exposure will help change existing attitudes toward women in leadership and shift the imbalance to a level plane, thereby correcting the gender gap that exists in spheres where decisions are made; namely politics.\n\nThe theme of IWD also provides us with the opportunity to acknowledge some of these women for paving the way for others, and then to contemplate why leadership and equality in a COVID-19 world is a lofty but necessary ideal.\n\nHistorically, women in leadership have not been acknowledged, including within medicine.\n\nIt is in this spirit, that I am taking the liberty to openly name some of the women leaders who are advocating and working towards the health and wellbeing of our nation from their respective platforms during this time.\n\nIt’s also heartening to see that Professor Cathy Foley, Australia’s Chief Scientist, will be influencing the development of innovations in an effort to address the human impact on the environment and whose vision is that Australia’s post COVID-19 economic recovery will incorporate these in its plan.\n\nJust this February, a whole 134 years after the first female was permitted to study medicine at the University of Melbourne, Professor Jane Gunn was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry, Health and Sciences. However, we are still far from achieving equality in leadership and other facets of life.\n\nThe women leaders whom we have come to know and who have steered the COVID-19 strategy locally and from their respective fields, are outstanding.\n\nAustralia’s response on the whole has been exemplary in many ways and in our own South and Western Pacific neighbourhood, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, has been acknowledged for her leadership and successful COVID-19 implementation strategy.\n\nInterestingly, she is electing to vaccinate all family members of front-line workers, quarantine and border patrol workers, not just the workers, which makes good sense.\n\nAnother outstanding example is that of President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan. In a country of 23 million people, there have been 967 cases and 10 deaths to date. Just think of it, they are neighbours with mainland China and have numerous direct, daily flights from Wuhan.\n\nIt is difficult to summarise all the effects that COVID-19 has presented each of us with, as we have all faced numerous challenges in different ways.\n\nThe effects of physical isolation, travel restrictions, complexities of work safety and working from home during this period, have added new stresses to an already inequitable health system.\n\nFor women this has caused interrupted access to medical services, as well as supplies of common oral contraceptives and menopausal hormone replacement therapies. Working from home has meant negotiating home schooling and domestic duties with partners and employers, which has resulted in increased family tensions.\n\nNot surprisingly, we have seen the sad statistics which reveal that domestic and family violence has soared whilst the mental health of the population has declined. The RACGP’s Abuse and violence: Working with our patients in general practice (the White Book), is currently being reviewed and is an excellent resource for supporting patients living with domestic and family violence (DFV).\n\nLikewise, women’s health segment in the RACGP’s Guidelines for preventive activities in general practice (the Red Book) is useful for discussing preventive health measures and promoting health outcomes in women. When the health of a woman improves, the health of their community benefits because women provide more than 85% of the care giving to their families.\n\nIronically, despite these wonderful contributions to medicine, politics and science, the gender gap has increased during this time due to the pre-existing systemic problems which we have been battling against for generations.\n\nThe World Economic Forum in December 2020, stated that regardless of status or education, women are still doing most of the domestic work. Others have warned that COVID-19 is a disaster for feminism because it reinforces the belief that to be a good man you need to earn, and to be a good woman you also need to look after the household and children.\n\nSome might assume that these are generational attitudes which are being unlearned, however; the current statistics around behaviors of young men show concerningly similar trends.\n\nEven in the area of academic research, women have been adversely affected – donning a professional or academic cloak, does not protect women from the imbalance of domestic work distribution.\n\nAustralia’s current ranking according on the World Economic Forum’s Gender Index, dropped to 44th place in 2020, down from 15th in 2006. This poses a serious question: what are we not getting right?\n\nAn essay by Professor Gillian Triggs demonstrates how the effects of this are outlined by the sobering Australian statistics. In it, she describes how, the fastest-growing group of homeless people in Australia is not 18-year-old youths sleeping under a bridge, but rather women over 55.\n\nWomen retire on 46% of the superannuation as compared to men, which means they have less to live on and as they live longer, this poverty differential is only heightened.\n\nTo worsen the blow, it was only recently that The Office for Women was not consulted about plans to allow Australians early access to superannuation during COVID-19, a plan which raises concerns about widening the gender super gap and the potential for domestic or family violence victims to be financially abused by their partner.\n\nEfforts made by the not-for-profit sector to draw attention to these injustices are effective in many ways; however, infrastructure change requires collective effort across all systems.\n\nThe Australian Federation of Medical Women\n\nThe Australian Federation of Medical Women (AFMW) seeks to address gender equity issues in the workplace for medical women and these discussions continue at the international level through the Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA), which in turn takes the collective voice of medical women to the United Nations and World Health Organization (WHO).\n\nThe issues are common to all women in medicine. During COVID-19, medical women have faced the risk of exposure to virus due to poorly fitted masks and a general lack of personal protective equipment (PPE). They have suffered reduced income, with those worse affected being the part-time doctors who are raising children, home schooling and caring for elderly loved ones – from experience, the two usually go hand in hand or in sequence.\n\nThese issues have been exacerbated in pregnant and older medical women with chronic disease; the latter are also often still carers of older children, partners and elderly parents.\n\nPolitical efforts to tackle gender inequality are not limited to the federal level, and there have been some very good recent developments in the state policy sector, including Victoria’s Gender Equality Act 2020, which stemmed from the 2016 Royal Commission into Family Violence.\n\nThe royal commission showed that Victoria needs to address gender inequality in order to reduce family violence and all forms of violence against women. The introduction of this Act, which commences on 31 March, will hopefully improve workplace gender equality in the Victorian public sector, universities and local councils and the Gender Equality Commissioner aims to oversee the provision of education, support implementation and enforce compliance to the Act.\n\nThis development is a culmination of the important conversations regarding these limiting and frustrating attitudes to women and gender, and will promote gender equity training in schools and organizations, so that the processes that support conscious and subconscious enculturation of society around the primary role of women being careers and nurturers based upon their biology, is corrected.\n\nInequity is not always intentional as men, women and all people share some biases based upon biological differences. These have created deep-seated beliefs which perpetuate the systemic inequalities talked about here.\n\nExpanding knowledge in this space and examining gender equity policies requires effort at all levels of society and the launch of the first Australian Gender Equity Training course recently released by Women’s Health Victoria is welcomed.\n\nGender equity benefits all of society, so let’s each make the changes needed. I encourage you to take the challenge and commit to helping forge an inclusive world.", null, null, null, null ]

[ "Emerging Markets Can Use Bitcoin to Circumvent Economic Sanctions", null, "The United States often uses its dominant position in the global economy to cut off certain countries from international trade and global capital markets. Moreover, as the U.S. dollar is the global reserve currency, there isn’t much that other countries can do when the U.S. decides to impose its will on another jurisdiction. The Bitcoin price isn’t the only attractive thing about the cryptocurrency; utilizing it as a tool to skirt these sanctions and taking part in free trade is one of the core value propositions of the network.\n\nWith so much discussion around the Bitcoin price, it’s sometimes useful to dig deeper into what gives Bitcoin its value in the first place. The primary motive of Bitcoin is to allow for free, uninhibited exchanges.\n\nThese properties have been recognized by governments all over the world. Whether they accept them publicly is another story altogether.\n\nIran has legitimized cryptocurrency mining as an industry, going as far as incentivizing these miners to bring their overseas income from mining back to Iran in exchange for a tax exemption. While Iran has not openly stated they are doing this to fight American oppression – as doing so would be diplomatic suicide – their actions speak for themselves.\n\nBy allowing more cryptocurrency to accumulate within the country, Iran may be planning to add Bitcoin to its currency reserves. The country, which has been blacklisted from traditional capital markets, may find it easier to trade with China, Russia, and other countries that oppose the United States’ dominance.\n\nAfter years and years of economic sanctions and punishment from the United States, Cuban residents have discovered the power of cryptocurrency, using it as a loophole to engage in international trade and skirt sanctions.\n\nCubans are using cryptocurrency to purchase services in other countries and to buy goods to run their businesses. The Bitcoin revolution has breathed new life into the country’s economy and could allow for a much higher level of growth.\n\nThe biggest problem at hand in Cuba is the government’s resistance to cryptocurrency. This is expected to change in the near future as the government comes to understand the massive opportunity that lies ahead of them.\n\nThe conception of Bitcoin was motivated by the maniacal control that large institutions and governments possess over ordinary citizens. Power disparity and wealth inequality across the world reached its height during the 2008 global financial crisis – just a year before Bitcoin was born.\n\nEqualizing the power dynamic in the world is an incredibly noble goal that can help reduce the unfair hegemony the U.S enjoys over the rest of the world. Bitcoin is the first truly universal asset that is both borderless and uncensorable. Gold came close, however, it was easily censorable by authorities.\n\nThe advent of Bitcoin enables every individual, country, and entity to have equal rights. Those in power will resist Bitcoin, but the network effect and perpetually growing awareness will stand as a barrier to this." ]

[ "Let's study some of the basic ideas about the functions of more than one variable.\n\nFirst, remember that graphs of functions of two variables, z = f (x,y) are surfaces in three-dimensional space. For example here is the graph of z= 2x2 + 2y2 - 4", null, "This is an elliptic paraboloid and is an example of a quadric surface. We saw several of these in the previous section.\n\nGraph of a Plane\n\nAnother common graph that we’ll be seeing quite a bit in this course is the graph of a plane. There is a convention for graphing planes that will make them a little easier to graph and hopefully visualize.\n\nQuestion for Functions of Several Variables - Differential Calculus, CSIR-NET Mathematical Sciences\nTry yourself:What is the equation of a plane?\nExplanation", null, null, "Now, to extend this out, graphs of functions of the form w = f (x,y,z) would be four-dimensional surfaces. Of course, we can’t graph them, but it doesn’t hurt to point this out.\n\nDomains of Functions of more than one variable\n\nNext, let's discuss the domains of functions of more than one variable.\n\nRecall that domains of functions of a single variable, y = f(x), consisted of all the values of x that we could plug into the function and get back a real number. Now, if we think about it, this means that the domain of a function of a single variable is an interval (or intervals) of values from the number line or one-dimensional space.\n\nThe domain of functions of two variables, z = f (x,y), are regions from two-dimensional space and consist of all the coordinate pairs, (x,y), that we could plug into the function and get back a real number.\n\nExample 1 - Determine the domain of each of the following.\n\n(a) In this case we know that we can’t take the square root of a negative number so this means that we must require, x+y > 0.\n\nHere is a sketch of the graph of this region.", null, "(b) This function is different from the function in the previous part. Here we must require that,\n\nx > 0 and y > 0 and they really do need to be separate inequalities. There is one for each square root in the function. Here is the sketch of this region.", null, "(c) In this final part we know that we can’t take the logarithm of a negative number or zero. Therefore we need to require that,\n\nand upon rearranging we see that we need to stay interior to an ellipse for this function. Here is a sketch of this region.\n\nNote that domains of functions of three variables, w = f(x,y,z), will be regions in three-dimensional space.\n\nExample 2 - Determine the domain of the following function,\n\nIn this case, we have to deal with the square root and division by zero issues. These will require,\n\nSo, the domain for this function is the set of points that lies completely outside a sphere of radius 4 centred at the origin.\n\nExample 3 - Find the domain of each of the following functions.\n\n(1) The domain of f is the set of points (x,y) such that 1−x2−y2≥0. We recognize x2+y2=1 as the equation of a circle of radius 1 centred at the origin, and so the domain of f consists of all points which lie on or inside this circle (see below).", null, "(2) We now require that 1−x2−y2>0.

The purpose of this exercise was to make a note of the headstones I thought would make an interesting blog.\n\nWhat made the headstone of interest? Well, it could be the names carved in the memorial; the regiment; place of death (if included) or just a little something that sparked my interest.\n\nOne person today ticked one box twice – first with one of his first name and secondly his surname.\n\nWho is he? William Alaister Drage Riach.\n\nBut, before I tell you about William Alaister Drage Riach I must tell you a little about his father, William.\n\nWilliam Snr had married Isabella nee Yeats, and at one time the couple had lived at Braco Place, 40 Hawthorn Road, Elgin.\n\nOn the 13th of June 1918, William Snr, a tailor, born in 1874, enlisted at Kinross into the RAMC. His time in the military was a short one as on the 25th of February the following year he was Demobbed.\n\nIn the previous months, William Snr served as Private 153351 and had spent time in K Company, Blackpool.\n\nService Records, if they have survived the damage caused during WW2, can contain so much information.

In September 1951, William Jnr and his wife Dorothy Wordsworth, Gardiner whom he had married in 1942, returned to Britain from Nyasaland. Nyasaland was from 1907 a British protectorate. Between 1953 and 1963 it became part of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. After the Federation dissolved in 1964 the area was renamed Malawi.\n\nWhere did his life in the ministry start?

[ "VOD film review: Military Wives | Where to watch online in UK | How to stream legally | VODzilla.co", null, "Military Wives is the latest film from director Peter Cattaneo, who is best known for The Full Monty. Cattaneo’s last film was released in 2008, and since then he’s been busy directing in the world of television, so it’s nice to see him return to the big screen. While Military Wives hits all the right notes, though, it doesn’t have the same comedic energy and freshness of The Full Monty. Nevertheless, this is an enjoyable way to pass the time, especially if you need something light and fluffy.\n\nYou may know the story of the Military Wives Choir already. In 2010, the wives of the soldiers stationed at Catterick Garrison decided to put together a choir, and also wrote to choirmaster Gareth Malone for his assistance. However, that side of the story has been excluded from the film, which focuses more on the wives working together as an internal unit rather than request help from outside groups. What we have is a film that is very loosely inspired by true events, but still pays its respects to the real choir and, more importantly, gives the wives and partners of military personnel a voice.\n\nThe band of women come together to form a choir to distract themselves from the reality that their partners have been deployed to Afghanistan. The choir is formed by Lisa (Sharon Horgan) and Kate (Kristin Scott Thomas), who constantly butt heads. Lisa is far more free-spirited while Kate is more snobbish and uptight. At first, the choir sounds just as you would expect: a disorganised mess.\n\nHowever, the wives come together in support of each other, and there are some very talented singers in the form of Annie (Emma Lowndes), Maz (Laura Checkley), Ruby (Lara Rossi) and Sarah (Amy James-Kelly), among others. When a visiting brigadier hears the women practicing he decides to ask them to perform at the televised Festival of Remembrance at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The choir is certainly talented, but can they all overcome their nerves? And, crucially, can Lisa and Kate put aside their differences?\n\nThe performances from the film’s two main leads are wonderful. The film is at its strongest when we see Horgan and Scott Thomas bicker and squabble. It’s clear that these two actresses were enjoying themselves and they did their best with the material provided. The screenplay by Rosanne Flynn and Rachel Tunnard is very formulaic, tightly following the three-act structure, and there are some really cheesy lines of dialogue that feel very on-the-nose. Even though there is tension, we know it will quickly be resolved and, as a result, the pay-off doesn’t feel very satisfying.\n\nThe main issue with the film is the sheer number of characters, which means not all of them get a chance to have their own subplots. There are some genuinely touching and emotional moments, especially in terms of the friendship that grows between Kate and Sarah. There’s also an interesting subplot that explores the relationship between Lisa and her teenage daughter Frankie (India Ria Amarteifio). The subject of grief is also touched upon, but the narrative marches on so quickly that these all get too nicely and neatly resolved, which damages the intended emotional impact.\n\nOverall, Military Wives does what it says on the tin. It’s a film that’s designed to make the viewer feel good, and there are some amusing moments to be had. It’s not exactly a laugh-out-loud riot, and it doesn’t exactly explore grief and depression in depth, but it does recognise the stresses and strains that the wives and partners of those working in the military have to endure. If you’re a fan of Fisherman Friends, The Calender Girls and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, then Military Wives will certainly tick all the right boxes.\n\nMilitary Wives is available to watch online in the UK on STARZPLAY, a streaming service that costs £4.99 a month. The platform is available on iOS, Android, Apple TV and Virgin Media On Demand or through Amazon Prime Video Channels, as an add-on subscription to your existing account.\n\nWhere can I buy or rent Military Wives online in the UK?\n\nDarren Aronofsky’s Pi: A thrilling study of order and chaos\n\nDisney+ TV review: The World According to Jeff Goldblum", null, null ]

It is as if the blood of the Shia youth of central and southern Iraq was shed in defense of their compatriot brothers of Sunnis, Christians, Yazidis and Kurds. They freed Iraqi women from captivity and restored their dignity, avenged them, and the noses of Daesh, the United States, the Zionists and the arrogant forces were rubbed in the dirt of humiliation.”\n\nAt the end of its statement, the al-Nujaba Islamic Resistance Movement greeted the noble souls of the martyrs of the Popular Mobilization Forces and the security forces, especially the great commanders of victory, the martyrs [Qassem] Soleimani and [Abu Mahdi] al-Muhandis, as well as the fighters of the Popular Mobilization Forces and the supporters of this holy institution and promised to destroy the enemies, occupiers, mercenaries and remnants of the Ba’ath Party.”" ]

[ null, "It is yom hashoah.\n\nThe date is arbitrary. Yes, I know why the authorities picked this date and the arguments about that, to which I am sensitive, and I wish it had been otherwise. But any date would have been arbitrary. The Shoah went on for years, year after year. For some, there is no yom hashoah. Every day is yom hashoah.\n\nBut, arbitrary as it is, as a society, and a people, we need one focused date.\n\nAnd in a way, the arbitrariness fits, since survival, and death, as survivors say, again and again, was arbitrary. Who lived, who died, how, when, was random. Living with the knowledge, the experience, that what was of ultimate importance was decided randomly, senselessly, is one of the great traumas of the Shoah.\n\nWhat is not senseless were the people who were caught up in this.\n\nHere is the story, such as I know it, of my aunt, Dinah Grossman and her family, from Zborov, Slovakia. They were all wiped out. There is no one of them to have told this story the normal way, transmitting it among their lines. So here it is.\n\nMy aunt Dinah—she was actually my mother’s, z”l, aunt, the sister of my mother’s father, my grandfather, z”l, and my great-aunt—was, like all the members of the family, religious. Chasidic.\n\nShe was married and childless, perhaps even ten years like that. But happily married, no other issues.\n\nBut her husband went to the rebbe—which one? I do not know–about the childlessness. And the rebbe said to divorce—but immediately afterwards, to re-marry. That this would be a segula—a remedy, or charm—and would fix the problem.\n\nDinah’s husband came home with this idea, which she thought terrible, crazy, and she begged him not to go through with it, not to humiliate her like that.\n\nBut the rebbe had said and so it had to be.\n\nSo Dinah and her husband divorced.\n\nDinah married another man, forgive me, I do not have his name. And they had three children, one after the other.\n\nThis photo is of Dinah and her family, taken at the springs of Bartfeld/ Bardejov, a few kilometers from Zborov, in 1938.\n\nLook at that proud look on her face, her whole stance, with her beautiful family. Dressed in their best.\n\nMy mother was particularly close to little Nute’leh. After she got out of the town, wrested from death by my Aunt Ida, z”l, and brought to America just before it would have become impossible to get out, she and her family corresponded. We have their letters, written in micrography, on postcards, showing signs of having passed through censorship. One is completely erased, all that comes is the address. The family corresponded until they were deported, in 1942. Auschwitz had just opened for business.\n\nNute’leh very much missed my mother and would go around saying, Liebe benkt sich af mir—Liebe (my mother) misses me. How do you know, they asked him. Veil ich benkt mich af ir. Because I miss her.\n\nAfter all she had done, her dignity, her pride, and her triumph, Dinah and her family were taken. How could such as these have come into the orbit of such as those?\n\nWe know what happened to women with children, to the women and the children, upon arrival in Auschwitz.\n\nSo there is nothing from them, evil hands took what she had built.\n\nTheir memory is sacred.\n\nMy grandfather, Shulem, z”l, for whom I am named, was so religious he would not be photographed. So I do not know what he looked like, which I regret. But Dinah, z”l, was his sister, and I look at her face and I imagine. My grandfather was one of five brothers. A niece of his, my mother’s first cousin, Margit, z”l, survived Auschwitz. Margit looked a lot like Dinah. So, I have some sense.\n\nMy mother was the only survivor of her large family, alive only because of the fluke of Aunt Ida’s intervention. Only, while it was a fluke that my mother got out, it was not arbitrary; it was fervently deliberate. Aunt Ida, everyone by 1938, knew that a war was coming. They could not know what kind but memories of World War I were bad enough. And she was determined to get my mother out—though the two were not related; Aunt Ida became our aunt, our endlessly beloved Aunt. She had no means to vouch that my mother would not become “a public charge,” one condition among many road blocks to Jews getting visas to the US under the Roosevelt administration. But she had a brother in Cleveland with a business and he could do it. She kept after him, he was reluctant, until he did, and the papers arrived and my mother ignored them, not wanting to leave her family, until the Nazis were already in Czechoslovakia and the border was going to close and she either left or it would be too late.\n\nHer family told her she had to go. To help her deal with missing them, they sent her off with a large collection of family photographs, some having been taken in normal time; some they posed then, so she would have them. When she missed them, they told her, she could look at the photos. Until they were reunited.\n\nI saw her doing that all my childhood. Something would come over her, a wave of longing, and she would pull out that pack and leaf through them, one after the other.\n\nAnd so I learned about my family, I knew who was who. I got to know them. And mad as it may sound though I bet plenty know exactly what I am saying, I missed them, too. Very much.\n\nThat is how I learned about Dinah and her family." ]

We get the Spring Trophy again.\n\nIt was actually our gating which won the day, and from Glasgow’s point of view they would have to be highly encouraged by some of the overtaking moves they made and also by the promise of their younger riders.\n\nOn our side, we saw once again just how dominant Craig Cook is. He took 5 wins and any time anyone looked like beating him out of the second corner, he simply lined them up and cruised past.\n\nThereafter, not a hint of an error. And as so often before, when three points were needed in the last heat to secure the win, there was never a doubt.\n\nThe others with particular cause for satisfaction are Stevie Worrall (11 from 4 but also some machine damage) and Sam Masters who scored paid 10 and showed his ability to team ride.\n\nMax Fricke scored 8 which is fine though he can move up a gear yet.\n\nJustin Sedgmen managed a race win but that was all he got, and Derek Sneddon lacked his usual gating skills though his two third places were important ones.\n\nOur American is finding out that it isn’t easy to get up to Premier League pace when it’s all so new, but this week he is heading down to visit Team Cook in Workington where he will be given assistance with his machine preparation.\n\nWe were behind only briefly (heat3) in the match though we were pegged back a few times. When Sam Masters team rode Steve Worrall (heat 4) and Justin Sedgmen (heat 6) to race wins, we probably thought we were on the way to a win, but two heats later when Anders Thomsen pipped Steve from the back in heat 8, we were back level.\n\nAgain we went ahead in heat 10 after a great cutback by Max Fricke, but we lost that in heat 12 in which both Tigers came from the back.\n\nWe always looked safe on aggregate but the match could have gone either way.

[ null, "Not long ago I posted an article on the Top 20 Coolest Buildings in the Twin Cities. This was a difficult task because there are so many, and I didn’t always have a great photo of each of them. Plus I thought of plenty more almost immediately after writing the original post. Anyways, there were 5 more I felt compelled to write about, as an addendum of sorts, to the original list. Here they are!\n\n5. Van Dusen Mansion, Minneapolis. This beauty in the Stephens Square neighborhood of Minneapolis, was built in the late 1800’s using Minnesota-quarried sioux quartzite and classic Romanesque architecture. The owner, George Washington Van Dusen, was an entrepreneur who founded Minnesota’s first and most prosperous grain processing and distribution firm in 1883. The Mansion, now available to rent for events and such, was recently part of an investment group called the Oxford Group which got nailed for an elaborate Ponzi scheme around 2008.", null, "4. Pillsbury Hall, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis campus – The U of M campus is packed with all kinds of amazing buildings. It was difficult to pick a favorite among the dozens of them, but I decided on Pillsbury Hall due to its history and unique look. Also built with Minnesota-quarried rock from near Banning State Park, it showcases Richardsonian Romanesque architecture and was built in the late 1800s, making it one of the oldest buildings on campus.", null, "3. Old Main, Hamline University, St. Paul – Completed in 1884, Hamline’s Old Main was and still is the visual centerpiece of the private University in St. Paul. At that time the structure was home to bascially all of the university’s functions, including classrooms, offices, and a dining hall. The building now is home to administrative offices, an auditorium, the university president’s office, and a four-stories high bell tower, which is rung each year on commencement ceremonies. Its construction is of Victorian Gothic architecture and it is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, for obvious reasons.", null, "2. Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis. Built in the Beaux-Arts architectural style back in 1915, this huge, beautiful facility is a government-funded public museum, meaning the Institute does not charge an entrance fee. There is a lot to see here, with fixed as well as rotating exhibits throughout. It’s found in the Washburn-Fair Oaks Mansion District of Minneapolis, which is home to many beautiful old churches and mansions.\n\n1. Basilica of St. Mary, Minneapolis, MN – The architectural masterpiece known as the Basilica in Minneapolis probably should have made my original top twenty but the Cathedral in St. Paul was fresh in my mind at the time of writing. This Minneapolis landmark was built in the early 1900s and displays examples of Baroque and Beaux-Arts architecture. The inside is incredibly ornate and wonderfully detailed, as one would imagine, and the Basilica holds a music festival on the grounds each summer called the Basilica Block Party as a fundraiser for the structure and local charities. This is a fascinating, beautiful, incredible place.\n\nOne thought on “Coolest Buildings in the Twin Cities: 5 More”" ]

[ null, "These are supernatural beings and spirits that can be either good or bad. It is believed by many who believe in fairies that they reside in a place somewhere between earth and heaven; however, many think fairies dwell on earth. Others believe they are mythical beings possessing magical powers and sometimes being close to human beings on earth. They are said to appear in various shapes being dressed in different customs. Typically a dwarf creature has green clothes and hair, lives in underground or in stone heaps, and characteristically exercises magical powers to benevolent ends.\n\nOr, a fairy might be thought of as a diminutive, delicate feminine creature dressed in white clothing who lives in a fairyland, but intervening in human lives with good intentions. Then there is the Irish leprechaun. This tiny fairy usually wearing a cocked hat and apron can be good or bad. A cobbler by trade, his tapping makes others aware of his presence. Supposedly he possesses a hidden crock of gold, which the whereabouts he is not about to divulge unless his capturer threatens him with bodily harm. He might then divulge the whereabouts of his treasure if his capturer constantly watches him. But, he usually tricks his capturer in looking away briefly when the tiny man vanishes.\n\nThe belief in fairies seems to reach back into ancient times, being traceable both in written and oral tradition. Traces stem from the Sanskrit gandharva (semidivine celestial musicians) to the nymphs of the Greeks and Homer, the jinni of Arabic mythology, and other folk characters of the Samoans, Arctic, and other indigenous Americans. A common conception of fairies today, especially in children's fairytales, rests largely upon their depiction in old folklore tradition where they were generally described as serious and sinister. The exceptions include the tooth fairy, the fairy godmother in Cinderella, and Snow White and the seven dwarfs.", null, "The word \"fairy\" is derived from the Latin fata, or fate, referring to the mythical Fates, three woman who spin and control the threads of life. The archaic English term for fairies is fays, which means \"enchanted\" or \"bewitched.\"\n\nSince the belief in fairies is universal because they are known by various folkloric names including brownie (English and Scottish folklore), elf (German folklore), dwarf (Teutonic and Germanic folklore), troll (Norse folklore), gnome (Europe, popularized by Paracelsus), pooka (Irish folklore), kobold (German folklore), leprechaun (Irish folklore), and banshee (Irish and Celtic folklore). Fairy lore is thought to exist in almost every culture and is most prevalent in Europe and the British Isles. It spread to America during the colonization period and is still strong in the Appalachians, Ozarks, and other remote mountainous regions.", null, "More generally fairies are believed to lived in a land where time does not exist. This Land of the Fairy, or Fairyland or Elfland, as it is called, is accessed through barrows and mounds. Fairies come to the land at night to folic and make mischief. Stories are told that they are eager to kidnap human women for wives and human children, which are more attractive than fairy children, or changelings, that they leave behind in exchange. Other fairies generally live in small groups along rivers, lakes, or in woods and forests. They resemble the elementals and devas.", null, "This Fairyland, or Elfland, resembles the pre-Christian abodes for the dead. Fairyland is sometimes referred to as the Land of the Ever Young, which is eternal and beautiful. People carried off to fairyland cannot return if they eat or drink there. Fairy and human lovers can marry, though only with restrictions whose violation ends the marriage, and often, the life of the human. Some female fairies are deadly to human lovers. Fairies may resemble humans in size, but can decrease to three inches (7.5 cm) or less. Female fairies may be fortune tellers, particularly prophesying at births and foretelling deaths.\n\nThe fairies were aristocratic and had monarchs; for example, in County Galway, Fin Bheara and Nuala were the king and queen. In Wales, king and queen of the fairies - known there as the Tylwyth Teg - were Gwydion ab Don and Gwenhidw. Shakespeare records the fairy-rulers in A Midsummer Night's Dream as Oberon and Titania.", null, "These are some of the theories that speculate the origins of fairies:\n\nFairies are unbaptized souls. They are souls caught up in a netherland land, not good enough to enter heaven, nor bad enough to deserve hell. Such a place is frequently referred to as limbo.\n\nFairies are the fallen angels. Fairies were among the angels loyal to Lucifer. They were cast out of heaven with him to plunge into hell, but suddenly God stopped them in mid-flight and condemned them to remain where they were. Some were in the air, some in the earth and some in the seas and rivers. Such belief is widespread in fairy lore of Ireland, Scotland, and Scandinavia.\n\nFairies are nature spirits. Somewhat analogous to the fallen-angel theory, this theory holds that fairies are among the many spirits that populate all things and places in the earth.\n\nFairies are diminutive human beings. There is evidence that small-structured races populated parts of Europe and the British Isles in the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, before the spread of the Celts. In Ireland, they were known as the Thuathe de Danaan. They resided in barrows and in shelters burrowed under hills and mounds. They were hard working but shy, and, as stronger peoples invaded their land and captured their iron weaponry, they retreated to the woodlands to live a secretive life. Being pagan, they continued to worship the pagan deities. They were in union with nature and possessed keen psychic senses. Their skills and trades allowed them to lead somewhat normal lives while raising diminutive cattle and horses. There was sporadic guerilla warfare against invaders as described in the legends of Robin Hood and Rob Roy.", null, "Originally the elusive fairy races were regarded with suspicion by larger races. Belief in them was thought to be superstitious. However, gradually more people began endowing these little people with magical characteristics. The races such as the Lapps, Picts and Romano-British-Iberian peoples, were not so small as to be unable to mingle with the Celts, Normans and Saxons. Although many became servants and serfs, others married and mixed bloodlines. Until the 13th century, having fairy blood was admired.\n\nThere is much evidence of fairy lore in relation to witchcraft. The British anthropologist Margaret A. Murray and other historians state that the real \"little people\" gradually became identified with witches. During the 16th and 17th centuries, when belief in fairies was at its peak, the activities of fairies and witches were frequently combined. Both cast and broke spells; they both healed people, and divined lost objects and the future. Both danced and sang beneath the moon-often together-and were said to have trafficked with the Devil. Both practiced metamorphosis, flying and levitation, and could cause others to levitate. As well, both supposedly stole unbaptized babies, poisoned people, and stole horses that they rode hard and fast to their sabbats in the night. Both avoided salt and were repelled by iron.\n\nKing James I of England, in Daemonologie, his book about witches, called Diana, the goddess of witches, and the \"Queen of Fairie.\" Oberon, the name of the King of Fairies, also was the name of a demon summoned by magicians. Fairies were also claimed to be familiars of witches. Therefore, it is not difficult to see why fairies figured into witch trials. The trials richest in details occurred in the British Isles.", null, "Currently Neo-Pagan Witches believe in fairies and some see them clairvoyantly. Some Witches say their Craft was passed down by fairies through the generations of their families.Fairy lore is particularly prevalent in Ireland, Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland. Fairies are common in literature from the Middle Ages on and appear in the writings of the Italians Matteo Boiardo and Ludovico Ariosto, the English poet Edmund Spenser, the Frenchman Charles Perrault, and the Dane Hans Christian Andersen, among others. A.G.H.\n\nThe word Fairy is derived from the ancient \"faunoe o fatuoe\" which, in the pagan mythology, indicated the faun's (deer) companions, creatures endowed with power of foretelling the future and ruling the human events. The word Fairy also comes from \"fatigue\", which in Middle Ages was synonymous with \"wild woman\", that is woman of woods, waters and, in general, of the natural world.\n\nFairies are so prevalent in mythical culture that it's natural to wonder where they came from. Different societies have come up with very different explanations of the origins of 'the little people'.", null, "The Little People are said to be the dispossessed early tribes of the British Isles.They faded away into uninhabited places, growing smaller and smaller with time as they were forgotten and passed into legend. The Tuatha de Danann, People of the Goddess Dana, ruled Ireland before the Milesian invasion. They were driven underground where they became the Daoine Sidhe fairies.\n\nThe Irish believe that the fairies are a previously conquered society, the Tuatha De Danaan (People of the Goddess Dana), who were driven into hiding when the Celts invaded Ireland. The Pagan gods of the Tuatha, skilled in building and magic, went underground to live in the tombs and mounds they had built. Hidden from sight, they grew smaller in the popular imagination until they turned into fairies.", null, "Other cultures believe that fairies are the souls of the dead, people not good enough to enter Heaven yet not bad enough for Hell. They wander the Netherland in between and are occasionally seen by humans. Along a similar theme, fairies are also believed to be angels that had been cast out of Heaven. Some fell into the sea and some onto the land, where they would do no harm if left alone.\n\nIn Wales, fairies are thought to be a race of invisible spiritual beings living in a world of their own. Some people also believe that fairies were originally local gods or nature spirits that dwindled in majesty and size over time.", null ]

By asking themselves, “What do New Yorkers want?”\n\n“What do subway riders want?\n\nThey want short waits, trains that arrive regularly, a chance for a\nseat, a clean car, and understandable announcements that tell them what\nthey need to\nknow.”\n\nMaybe in Wichita, Kansas!

What train lines have the biggest problem with men “letting it all hang out,” NYPIRG?? Why is it that a dude on the A train needs 5 meters of thigh spread while guys on the G train are able to keep their knees together?? We’ll need to do a series of tests to isolate the source of this.

Guys, just hold it until you can get to a Starbucks, like we all do! If I could count the number of times I’ve seen public urination on public transportation…\n\nOkay, but seriously now. Every woman in NYC has a story of being touched in public. Groping is a fact of life. I had my butt grabbed on the train once, too. Subway groping is probably the one reason I’d go out of my way to avoid a certain train. THIS, NYPIRG, would be an actually useful piece of information!

Look, if you really can’t stand your train, you’ll just have to move somewhere else…which brings us to the State of New York City Real Estate Report Card and we never, ever want to go there." ]

[ "I wasn’t planning on participating in the A to Z challenge this year. Until Mid March I was working 2 jobs which took about 70 hours of my week. I decided to participate in the this years challenge after both my jobs were disrupted by co-vid 19. Shortly after signing up, I was hired by a local grocery store as a part time overnight grocery stocker. On April 1st I had 1/2 day orientation and I went in for my first overnight shift the next day at 10. I was scheduled Thursday, Friday and Saturday last week and I assumed that would be my part time schedule going forward. I was mostly delighted when I checked the upcoming schedule over the weekend to find out that my part time job was a full time one with me working 2 additional nights to what I had done the week before.\n\nThe one drawback is that the additional hours and getting used to a new sleep schedule added to my natural tendency for procrastination (I didn’t always procrastinate, I had put it for several years) have wreaked a reasonable amount of havoc on my a to z challenge goals/duties. It is why I am combining Monday and Tuesdays posts here on Wednesday . So let’s get to it shall we.\n\nThe story of William Wallace is beautifully rendered and has an evocative score. It’s amazing how an Australian can make my Irish/German heart embrace a zeal for Scottish patriotism.\n\nWhen I think of Frankfort it is not the capital of Kentucky that comes to mind it is the Summer of 1986 that I spent as a camp Counselor at Camp Manitoqua in Frankfort, Il. I promptly began calling it Camp Manic Toga. Camp Manic Toga is where I learned to play 5 word random.\n\n5 word random is one of the many variants of Random, a game which camp counselors Perry Kroeschell and Dave Izenbart brought to Manic Toga from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa. Random is just a game where you say random sentences or phrases. One random I made in the summer of 1986 was,\n\nA small furry graper pretends he is neither Sunny or Cher.\n\n5 word random can be played in a group of 2 or more people. People rotate turns saying one random word until they have five words that form a gramatically correct random sentence. After the sentence is constructed the next person repeats the sentence and everyone ruminates on it or as I like to say everybody goes hmmm.\n\nI asked some family members to illustrate this game for me. Here are 3 examples we just did.\n\nI began sharing this game with friends and family shortly after camp ended and have been doing so far years. I have used it overseas, at parties and in class rooms but it is especially conducive for car trips. We have even played it in more than one car at a time with the aid of a walkie talkie.\n\nI think one of the reasons why I like 5 word random so much is that’s it deceivingly educational. It helps expand vocabulary and models grammatically correct sentences. It fosters collaboration and in the 21st century I’ve been able to get people to put down their devices for an hour and connect with the people sitting next to them.\n\nWhen I think of the capital of Guyana, I think of Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre of 1978. I was 14 at the time when over 900 people (1/3 of which were children) performed mass suicide. I remember Powers Boothe’s emmy winning portrayal of Jones in a tv mini-series.\n\nI read recently that\n\nI am at once in agreement with and bothered by that assessment. The phrase comes from Jone’s followers drinking cyanide laced flavor-aid (a different brand similar to kool-aid). In it’s most used sense (a metaphor for extreme sports devotion) the phrase trivializes the memory of those 900 victims. The phrase works better as a warning to change behavior or thinking for example:\n\nDon’t be so quick to drink the kool-aid that living together before marriage protects against divorce as studies continue to show divorces much higher when people cohabitate prior to marriage rather than waiting until after the honeymoon.\n\nWell 3 letters in a row and the day is almost 7/8 over so I better post this thing.

It snuck past their repeated assurances to each other that the music was “just for fun.” The day it took up too much of their time, they promised, they’d scale it back.\nIn fact when they first started spending time together Evan was already on the road well north of a hundred dates per year with his full-time band Mile Twelve. Danny was settled into a professorship at Boston University after a decade of touring with his breakout group Jones Street Station. What they had together was simply a friendship. It was just beers and tunes, a chance here and there to fit some picking into their busy lives. It was a drunken dare to learn iconic duo albums note for note. But late night chats about their favorite writers – Springsteen, Prine, Hartford, Welch and Rawlings – led them against better judgment to put pen to paper.\nThe songs that came were as real and new to them as anything either had ever written. So they packed the guitars up in their cases, and hit the stage, and the words you’re reading now represent a (near) surrender to what was becoming inevitable.\nPeople who see them play say there is an ease to a Kings of Ghost Town show, a kind of confidence that only comes from real friendship (and of being sovereigns over nothing in particular). There’s also a simple intimacy to the music, a sense that nothing else really matters except the songs." ]

[ null, "The present scenario between Pakistan and India is not friendly but recent meltdowns have the potential to be a vintage point to start with. A desire for an enabling environment is there and if continues, it can be translated into a larger regional good.\n\nAt midnight of 24 and 25 February 2021, the Director Generals of Military Operations of both India and Pakistan established a much-needed contact to ease out the situation at Line of Control. It was a major development since 5 August 2019 when India discontinued the statehood of Kashmir by abrogating the clauses of article 370 of the Indian constitution. The DGMO level contact was widely reported and appreciated in international media and the international community respectively. One of the most important aspects of the contact was backdoor channel diplomacy by the Gulf States wherein a few news reports suggested that back-channel diplomatic efforts were taking place for the last two years.\n\nDuring back to back sessions of the Islamabad Security Dialogue on 17 and 18 March 2021, the prime minister of Pakistan and COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa made some policy statements on India-Pakistan relations. Both the civil and military leadership was on the same page on the resolution of all outstanding issues with India. However, Pakistan made it clear that the onus of moving forward lied with India that had to restore the statehood of Kashmir to create an enabling environment. Furthermore, Pakistan made it clear that confidence-building measures (CBMs) like ceasefire and use of Pakistan’s airspace etc were aimed at creating a good environment and ensuring life safety to Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control.\n\nThe DGMO level contact was followed by an Indian prime minister’s letter to Pakistan’s prime minister Imran Khan on 23 March greeting the people of Pakistan on Pakistan Day. The Indian president also wrote a similar letter to his Pakistani counterpart. On 31 March 2021, Pakistan’s Economic Coordination Council (ECC) allowed the private sector to import 0.5 million tons of white and sugar from India. This resulted in a tirade of criticism on social and mainstream print and electronic media in Pakistan whereas Indian media also took a jibe on the development. On 1 April 2021, Pakistan’s cabinet rejected the proposal of ECC aimed at public pressure and criticism on social and mainstream media.\n\nBut, this does not mean the end of backdoor channel diplomacy. At the time when the bilateral trade is suspended and political temperature is high in Islamabad and New Delhi, both sides have agreed to create a favourable environment for substantial dialogue on all the outstanding issues including Kashmir. This brings back the ‘Bajwa Doctrine’ and ‘Doval Doctrine’ back into the foreign policy calculus of Pakistan and India. Both sides have assured each other that a good environment is a necessity to start with. India has hinted at moving on the Kashmir issue and Pakistan has also nodded positively to explore any option.\n\nThere is a desire in both Islamabad and New Delhi to normalize the situation and the international community has been courageous in asking both sides to start a dialogue. However, the only problem both sides are facing is public pressure. Thus, the larger part of taking the initiative comes to the militaries of both sides. But militaries on both sides have an ‘image problem’ which may not allow them to openly support the dialogue process. However, the recent developments have clearly spelt out that military leadership on both sides is encouraging the political leaderships to start a dialogue for the larger regional stability.\n\nSince the Pulwama attack, the political environment has been polarized and there was not a single moment when the pundits of international relations could predict a meltdown in the bilateral relations. However, the consequent developments of the past 3 months are seen as the first steps towards durable regional peace. The domestic environment across the border remains a paradox. Both sides are reluctant to openly start with due to the suffocating environment for the opposition parties. Thus, both the government of Imran Khan and Narendra Modi are carefully calculating the political damage possibly been done by any out of the box step.\n\nThe official sources in Islamabad are also posing a rosy picture about the future of India and Pakistan relations. There are special study circles, closed room discussions and meetings of top civil-military leadership to identify and assess the probabilities of enabling environment. The same might be taking place in India as the diplomatic, military and intelligence community on both sides has opened up the channels for open and secret negotiations. However, this does not mean an enabling environment until both sides clearly communicate their intentions to their public.\n\nThe Kashmiris on both sides have been pleased by the recent developments. But they are also apprehensive of their own stakes. All the existing mechanisms of conflict resolution on Kashmir have been conspicuous about the role of Kashmiris across LoC as the main stakeholders. This has led to nervousness and suspicions among the Kashmiri leadership. Kashmir may remain the central part of the bilateral disputes but the role of Kashmiris in deciding their own future needs clarity on both sides to bring smiles on the faces of Kashmiris. This is possible only when the Kashmiris are ensured to be the most vulnerable stakeholders of the bilateral relationship.\n\nAimed domestic pressure and limitation of both sides in conflict resolution, the role of the international community, especially that of major powers and the Gulf States, has got more importance for durable peace in South Asia. The willingness of the international community may have a structural effect on regional politics but the final decision to start a comprehensive dialogue remains with India and Pakistan. The present scenario is not friendly but recent meltdowns have the potential to be a vintage point to start with. A desire for an enabling environment is there and if continues, it can be translated into a larger regional good.", null ]

[ "In China, doctors say they are discouraged from citing COVID on death certificates", null, "During a busy shift at the height of Beijing's COVID wave, a physician at a private hospital saw a printed notice in the emergency department: doctors should \"try not to\" write COVID-induced respiratory failure on death certificates.\n\nInstead, if the deceased had an underlying disease, that should be named as the main cause of death, according to the notice, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.\n\nIf doctors believe that the death was caused solely by COVID-19 pneumonia, they must report to their superiors, who will arrange for two levels of \"expert consultations\" before a COVID death is confirmed, it said.\n\nSix doctors at public hospitals across China told sources they had either received similar oral instructions discouraging them from attributing deaths to COVID or were aware that their hospitals had such policies.\n\nSome relatives of people who have died with COVID say the disease did not appear on their death certificates, and some patients have reported not being tested for coronavirus despite arriving with respiratory symptoms.\n\nSuch directives have led to criticism by global health experts and the World Health Organization that China has drastically underreported COVID deaths as the coronavirus runs rampant in the country, which abandoned its strict \"zero-COVID\" regime in December.\n\nOn Saturday, officials said 60,000 people with COVID-19 had died in hospitals since China's policy U-turn, a roughly ten-fold increase from previously reported figures, but still short of expectations of international experts, who have said China could see more than a million COVID-related deaths this year.\n\nChina's Center for Disease Control (CDC) and National Health Commission (NHC) did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. The doctors in this article declined to be named because they are not permitted to speak to the media.\n\nSeveral said they were told such guidance came from \"the government\", though none knew from which department, a common situation in China when politically sensitive instructions are disseminated.\n\nThree other doctors at public hospitals in different cities said they were unaware of any such guidance.\n\nOne of them, a senior emergency room doctor in Shandong province, said doctors were issuing death certificates based on the actual cause of death, but \"how to categorise\" those deaths is up to the hospitals or local officials.\n\nSince the start of the pandemic, which first emerged three years ago in its central city of Wuhan, China has drawn heavy criticism for not being transparent over the virus - an accusation it has repeatedly rejected.\n\nBefore Saturday, China was reporting five or fewer COVID deaths per day.\n\nOf the nearly 60,000 COVID-related fatalities since Dec. 8 it announced on Saturday since, fewer than 10 per cent were caused by respiratory failure because of COVID.\n\nThe rest resulted from a combination of COVID and other diseases, Jiao Yahui, head of the Bureau of Medical Administration under the National Health Commission (NHC), said on Saturday.\n\nMichael Baker, a public health scholar at the University of Otago in New Zealand, said the updated death toll still \"looks low\" compared with the high level of infection in China.\n\nYanzhong Huang, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, said it was unclear whether the new data accurately reflected actual fatalities, in part because the numbers include only deaths in hospitals.\n\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday recommended that China monitor excess mortality to gain a fuller picture of the impact of the surge in COVID.

[ null, "A national security expert who has worked for both the Bush and Obama administrations made it official Monday that she is seeking the Democratic nomination to unseat Republican Congressman Mike Bishop next year.\n\nElissa Slotkin of Holly is a former Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense and says she wants to bring a deep commitment to public service to residents in the 8th Congressional District, something she believes is currently lacking on the part of Bishop. Slotkin joined the Central Intelligence Agency following 9/11 and ended up serving three tours in Iraq, where she met her husband, a former Apache pilot, who retired as a colonel from the U.S. Army after 30 years of service. After serving overseas, Slotkin worked for President Bush as a member of his national security staff and was asked to stay on when President Obama took office in 2009, where she eventually became Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense. At the Pentagon, she says she negotiated sensitive matters including the fight against ISIS and the U.S. response to Russian aggression. Slotkin told WHMI that in no way should the United State consider Russia as an ally.\n\nSlotkin, whose mother died of ovarian cancer in 2011, tells WHMI that Congressman Bishop’s votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with a GOP plan that would cover millions of fewer Americans was one of the main issues motivating her to get into the race. \"He either doesn't understand what he voted for or doesn't care about the consequences for the people in his district. Given how personal this was for me, it really motivated me to get in the race. He has a history of taking money from the health care industry, from the prescription drug industry, going back to his time in the Michigan Senate, so it's just time for something different, for someone who puts public service first.\"\n\nSlotkin says she understands that the 8th District has been solidly Republican, but feels that that if the 2016 election proved anything, it was that people are tired of “career politicians who seem to have forgotten that they are public servants elected to do one, simple job: improve the lives of the constituents they have the privilege to represent.”\n\nWhen asked for comment on Monday's announcement, Stu Sandler, a spokesperson for the Mike Bishop for Congress campaign said, “It's the Jon Ossoff plan that Democrats are trying all over the nation. Take a Hillary staffer, transfer them into a district where they have little ties, and see what happens. It didn’t work in Georgia and I think Michigan voters are skeptical of this type of political maneuver.\" To that, Slotkin responded that her, \"record of national service is clear. I have spent the past 15 years serving my country in the intelligence and defense communities, including three tours of duty served in Iraq. I am a third generation Michigander. I grew up here, I went to school here, my family is here. Michigan is home. It’s unfortunate that Rep. Bishop sees fit to criticize me for spending my career in national service. I would much rather spend time talking about the important issues impacting voters in the 8th district.\" (JK)" ]

[ "Equal marriage in Northern Ireland could be settled in Westminster, UK government says", null, "The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has signalled that equal marriage could be settled in the UK Parliament – after the collapse of power-sharing talks.\n\nNorthern Ireland is the only part of the UK without equal marriage, due to opposition from the hardline Democratic Unionist Party.\n\nThe issue has been blocked by the DUP in the Northern Ireland Assembly for years – but following the collapse of power-sharing in the region, LGBT activists have called on UK Prime Minister Theresa May to intervene.\n\nIn a major concession this week, the Northern Ireland Secretary has conceded for the first time that the issue could indeed end up being settled under direct rule in the UK Parliament.\n\nThe Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Karen Bradley, emphasised her belief that it would be best settled in the devolved assembly, but signalled the government would not whip its MPs to oppose a backbench bill on the issue.\n\nLabour’s Conor McGinn had asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland “what her policy is on equal marriage for same-sex couples in Northern Ireland; and if she will bring forward legislative proposals on that policy”.\n\nIn response, the Secretary of State said: “In accordance with the Belfast Agreement, this is a devolved matter which should be addressed in the NI Assembly; but the power of the Westminster Parliament to legislate remains unaffected.\n\n“If this issue were to be raised in Westminster, the Government’s policy is to allow a free vote on matters of conscience such as equal marriage.”\n\nThe confirmation that the Government would not oppose the measure may lead to plans for a backbench bill on the issue.\n\nLabour’s Lord Alli said: “Whilst we all want to see a return of power sharing government and a vote for equal marriage in the Assembly, the Secretary of State is right to recognise the fact that the current discriminatory situation in Northern Ireland is unsustainable.\n\nThere have been several proposed compromises to allow progress on the issue.\n\nLabour MP Ged Killen recently suggested an amendment to the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, which regulates same-sex marriage in England and Wales, to require recognition of those marriages in Northern Ireland without directly legislating for equality.\n\nMr Killen wrote: “I would like to welcome you to your new position and wish you well as you begin the important task of trying to resolve the political deadlock in Stormont and see the return of a functioning Northern Ireland Executive.\n\nAnd Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Owen Smith, was last year rumoured to be considering backing proposals for a referendum on the issue, which could allow the issue to be legislated in Westminster but voted on by the people of Northern Ireland.\n\nIf the issue is not solved in Westminster, it is unlikely to see a resolution for several years.\n\nPower-sharing talks between the DUP and Sinn Fein, aimed at restoring the region’s devolved executive and assembly, collapsed earlier this month after little progress was made.\n\nSinn Fein cited equal marriage as one of the key bones of contention in the talks, alongside cultural issues like demands for an Irish Language Act.\n\nMeanwhile, a number of DUP hardliners have threatened to walk away from any deal that includes same-sex marriage.\n\nA DUP spokesperson told the Belfast News Letter last week: “The DUP has a mandated policy to defend the current definition of marriage. We stand by that commitment.”\n\nA source inside the party also told the outlet that the party would continue to employ a ‘petition of concern’ to block equal marriage in any resumed Assembly." ]

[ null, "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday his government was “stable” and criticised the police investigation against him after detectives recommended his indictment for corruption, prompting calls by Israeli opposition leaders for him to resign.\n\n“I can reassure you that the coalition is stable,” Netanyahu said at an event in Tel Aviv, again making clear he had no intention of resigning.\n\n“Neither me nor anyone else has plans for elections. We’re going to continue to work together for the good of Israeli citizens until the end of the term.”\n\nNetanyahu, prime minister for a total of nearly 12 years, denounced the police recommendations against him as “full of holes, like Swiss cheese.”\n\nHe said the police report “misleads” and is “contrary to the truth and logic.”\n\nIsraeli opposition leaders called on Netanyahu to step down Wednesday as the embattled premier’s allies rallied to his defense.\n\nThe police announcement late Tuesday that Netanyahu accepted nearly $300,000 in gifts from two billionaires dealt the prime minister an embarrassing blow after years of investigations, but did not appear to immediately rattle his lengthy rule as reaction largely fell along partisan lines.\n\nNearly all of Netanyahu’s Cabinet ministers issued statements of support and no coalition partners appeared ready to bolt. Netanyahu’s coalition whip, David Amsalem, dismissed the recommendations and accused the police of committing “an illegitimate act here to attempt a coup d’etat in Israel.”\n\nOpposition politicians, meanwhile, called on Netanyahu to step down, and urged his coalition allies to abandon his government. Labor Party leader Avi Gabbay said Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon and Education Minister Naftali Bennett, leaders of two of the larger parties in Netanyahu’s coalition, need to choose between supporting the prime minister and upholding the rule of law.\n\n“There’s really a government culture of corruption,” he added.\n\nThe police recommendations now go to Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit, who will review the material before deciding whether to file charges. Netanyahu can remain in office during that process, which is expected to drag on for months. Both Kahlon and Bennet said they will await Mandelblit’s decision to decide how to move forward.\n\nOn Tuesday night, Netanyahu accused police of being on a witch hunt and vowed to remain in office and even seek re-election.\n\n“I will continue to lead the state of Israel responsibly and loyally as long as you, the citizens of Israel, choose me to lead you,” an ashen-faced Netanyahu said in a televised address. “I am sure that the truth will come to light. And I am sure that also in the next election that will take place on time I will win your trust again, with God’s help.”\n\nThe police recommendations marked a dramatic ending to a more than a yearlong investigation into allegations that Netanyahu accepted gifts from Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer, and suspicions that he offered to give preferential treatment to a newspaper publisher in exchange for favorable coverage.\n\nThe police statement said their investigation found sufficient evidence to indict Netanyahu in the first case, known as File 1000, for accepting bribes, fraud and breach of trust. It said Netanyahu had accepted gifts valued at 750,000 shekels ($214,000) from Milchan, and 250,000 shekels ($71,000) from Packer. The gifts from Milchan reportedly included expensive cigars and champagne.\n\nPolice said that in return, Netanyahu had operated on Milchan’s behalf on U.S. visa matters, legislated a tax break and connected him with an Indian businessman. It said he also helped Milchan, an Israeli producer whose credits include “Pretty Woman,” ”12 Years a Slave” and “JFK,” in the Israeli media market.\n\nIn news that send shockwaves through the political system, it emerged that Yair Lapid, leader of the opposition Yesh Atid party, had given testimony about the Netanyahu efforts to benefit Milchan he saw during his term as finance minister.\n\nKey members of Netanyahu’s Likud Party pointed to this as proof that the investigation was politically motivated and amsalem angrily called Lapid a “snitch.”\n\nLapid said that as a law abiding citizen he gave a short testimony upon request of the police and he called on Netanyahu to resign.\n\n“Someone with such serious accusations against them, many of which he does not even deny, cannot continue to serve as prime minister with responsibility for the security and well-being of Israel’s citizens,” Lapid said.\n\nDuring similar circumstances a decade ago, Netanyahu, as opposition leader, urged then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to resign during a police investigation, saying a leader “sunk up to his neck in interrogations” could not govern properly.\n\nBut Netanyahu remained defiant. His attorney, Amit Hadad, told Israel Radio Wednesday that the police’s claims against his client were false.\n\n“He didn’t receive bribes at all. Not in a single day, not in a year, not at all,” Hadad said. “The prime minister never acted in Milchan’s benefit on any issue, except for one, that of the visa.”\n\nNetanyahu said he did so because Milchan had done much for Israel and noted that the late Shimon Peres had also been close with Milchan.\n\nIn the second case, known as “File 2000,” Netanyahu reportedly was recorded asking Arnon Mozes, the publisher of the Yediot Ahronot daily, for positive coverage in exchange for promoting legislation that would weaken a free newspaper that had cut into Yediot’s business.\n\nPolice said there was sufficient evidence to charge both Milchan and Mozes with bribery.\n\nChannel 10 TV read a statement that it said came from Milchan’s “defense team” saying the bribery charge would not stand. It said his relationship with Netanyahu went back to the early 2000s, before he became prime minister, and that the men and their families were friends.\n\nThere was no immediate comment from Packer or Mozes." ]

[ null, "On paper, Moolec offers a scientifically compelling narrative. Primarily, the company focuses on molecular farming. The process, according to Science Direct, is the “production of recombinant proteins in plants with the express intention to utilize (and ultimately commercialize) the protein itself rather than any trait or capability it confers on the plant.” In Moolec’s case, it develops animal meat through its disruptive plant-based technology, providing cruelty-free proteins for the food industry.\n\nIf the applied sciences firm succeeds on its main objectives, LJAQ stock could be a gamechanger. According to research by UC Davis, “Each year, a single cow will belch about 220 pounds of methane.” Because methane is 28 times more potent in warming the atmosphere, just the mere presence of these animals poses climate challenges.\n\nCombine the above statistic with the elimination of animal cruelty and LJAQ stock becomes immensely attractive. To be sure, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Forbes reported that more than 50% of millennials attempted to incorporate plant-based foods into their diet.\n\nNot surprisingly, then, LightJump reported approximately 92% of votes cast approved the business combination. Management expects the transaction to close on Dec. 30., 2022, with the entity bearing the name Moolec Science. Shares and warrants should trade on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbols MLEC and MLECW, respectively, starting January 2023.\n\nAt the same time, research published by the National Library of Medicine notes molecular farming doesn’t offer a panacea.

[ null, null, "It’s possible, in Game 36 of 56, the player who has been among the best for the Golden Knights this season had a little something to prove.\n\nHasn’t been the greatest of times for goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury of late.\n\nHe was good enough Saturday night. His team wasn’t.\n\nMinnesota continues to be a puzzle the Knights struggle solving, the latest Wild win by a 2-1 final before 3,950 at T-Mobile Arena.\n\nIf this were an NCAA Tournament game, Minnesota would be one of those 12 seeds that gives a 5 all sorts of matchup problems. But that’s nothing new. When haven’t the Wild done that to the Golden Knights in this series?\n\nSame goes for Fleury. He’s now 6-13 all-time versus Minnesota with a goal-against average above 3. His save percentage against the Wild coming in was .892.\n\nBut he stopped 25-of-27 shots Saturday, with one Minnesota goal coming via the power play and a second in close after Fleury made the initial save.\n\n“I thought the story of tonight was that their two goals traveled a combined probably 8-12 inches,” said Knights coach Pete DeBoer. “They were both right around the crease. (Fleury) was good. He wasn’t the reason we lost. We lost because we didn’t stick the puck past their guy.”\n\nIt would have been a preposterous notion a month ago, the idea DeBoer would need the last 20 or so games to determine which goalie to start once the playoffs commenced.\n\nIt’s not so crazy now. If things go as they have recently, he absolutely will have a decision to make.\n\nRobin Lehner has been better-than-good since returning from a head injury. He’s 3-0-1, has allowed just six goals and has a 94.1 save percentage. Fleury is now 2-4 in his last six games, having allowed 20 goals with a .887 save percentage.\n\nHe needed a game like Saturday just to calm the waters a bit. How both he and Lehner perform as the postseason creeps closer should make for some must-see viewing.\n\nIt won’t be as exciting as Gonzaga knocking out UCLA with a banked-in 3-pointer at the buzzer in overtime, but compelling just the same.\n\nThe Knights have now lost three straight under DeBoer for the first time and are sputtering at the same time first-place Colorado is rolling. The Avalanche are four points clear of DeBoer’s team, which has a game in hand.\n\n“I wouldn’t say it’s fatigue,” said Knights defenseman Shea Theodore. “I thought we played well but kind of just let off the gas. When they scored there (to go ahead 2-1), we got down on the bench. I don’t know. I think we have to fix that. We have to have a little bit more spark to our game and correct that right away.”\n\nThey also need to correct the power play, which was 0-for-3 Saturday and 0-for-7 in two losses to Minnesota the past three days. The Wild own the league’s worst power play. They scored a goal off it in both games.\n\nSlumps happen, even in a condensed season. The Knights were without regulars Ryan Reaves, Zach Whitecloud, Chandler Stephenson and Nic Hague. A few are hurt, one is suspended and Hague can’t step on the ice nowadays without committing a penalty.\n\nBut amidst all that, Fleury had a solid enough effort. He was better than he has been the last handful of games.\n\nTeams are amping themselves up for the playoffs. Coaches are zeroing in on the best lineups. When it comes to the Golden Knights, who emerges as the best option at goalie is still in play. Very much so.\n\nAnd if things don’t go Fleury’s way, we might at least get another foolish tweet from his agent.", null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null ]

[ null, "The Womb of God\n\nSeveral months ago, while spending some time with the Lord, I suddenly saw an image of the Holy Spirit with a womb. Inside the womb was the universe – everything ever created.\n\nAs I questioned the Lord about what I was seeing, I heard “Everything is birthed in and through the Holy Spirit”.\n\nStill, I found it hard to picture the Holy Spirit with a womb.\n\nUntil the following day… Randomly, I popped into a conference for a session at a friend’s invitation. The first thing rolling off the teacher’s lips regarded “the womb of the Holy Spirit”. I went bug-eyed for a few mins..\n\nThe painting above has invoked a lot of different responses. Some hate it, some think it’s making some kind of political statement, others think it depicts “Mother Earth” giving birth, and still others find it moving, life-giving, profound. Art is supposed to do that I suppose. For me, I was compelled to paint to the best of my ability what I saw, except what I saw didn’t include the image of the baby.\n\nWhen I began to paint, I kept seeing the image of an infant, an unborn fetus overlapping the universe. I honestly fought it. I tried multiple times to paint it the way I wanted to, but each time I met failure, until I went with what the Spirit was leading me toward. Even the placement of the womb seemed too high for me, but then came the whisper, “I birth things from My heart.”\n\nSo, it’s been almost two months since I was compelled to paint it. And last month, the God of the Universe seemed quiet about it all. Crickets really. Like He was just enjoying the wait, the watching.\n\nUntil yesterday morning… I was preparing to go to a friend’s to pray over some land. I heard distinctly, play “Isaiah’s Song”, so I did.\n\nAs I was listening, the words played over and over, “What was a barren season is giving birth right now.” Then, immediately I heard to share that with a specific friend who has gone through a painful season. “Ok? That was pretty strong,” I thought.\n\nA few minutes later, I found myself texting a friend – just a “how are you?” kind of text. I looked down at the phone. The time read 11:11, which to me are alignment numbers, and those very same words were playing again.\n\nAt the prayer event, we took turns reading scripture. It’s our second time being apart. The first time was towards the beginning of this year. As my husband and I walk into the room where the readers were, they were finishing up Song of Songs and beginning to read Isaiah.\n\n“Lord, if you have me read about the barren woman giving birth, I may burst.”\n\nPeople come in to read, we add an extra, another person is randomly skipped, and my turn comes around. I begin to read Isaiah 53, and as the words regarding Messiah leave my lips, I flashback to several months prior. I had read the exact same passage when I was at the previous prayer event at this same place.\n\nI flipped the thin page, “Shout for joy, oh barren one…” I choked up, but tried to hold it together. “For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous than the sons of the married woman.”\n\nSo, what does all this mean?\n\nI’ve learned not to try to figure out visions, prophetic words, especially timing and how things will all work out, because quite honestly I’ve got about a 5% accuracy rate. 😊\n\nThis is the season I believe we are in as the body of Christ. The Lord of Host is birthing His plans and purposes in the Earth right now, and they will not be thwarted or delayed. It’s not us doing it. It is by His strength and ability that this new season and new birthing will occur.\n\n“Shout for joy.” The birthing season is finally here.\n\n← The Heresy of the Vineyard\nForgiveness or Judgement →" ]

During an interview with BTC bull Michael Saylor on Tuesday, Dorsey commented on the recent shutdown of Metas stablecoin project, Diem, which has been plagued with regulatory pushback since it began.\n\nThose two or three years or however long its been couldve been spent making Bitcoin more accessible for more people around the world, the almighty Dorsey said from his throne.\n\nSpeaking of Meta, the firms share price took a nosedive of around 26% on Thursday following a lackluster quarterly earnings report that revealed an annual profit decrease and a decline in daily active users.\n\nMeta reported $33.67 billion worth of total revenue for Q4 2021, compared to $28 billion the year prior. However, its net income fell to $10.28 billion from $11.2 billion one year earlier. A hefty $10 billion investment in its Reality Labs division also contributed to the disappointing quarterly results.\n\nWhile the centralized metaverse-focused firm faced choppy waters, native tokens from decentralized counterparts in The Sandbox (SAND) and Decentraland (MANA) jumped 17.5% and 20%, respectively.

Many onlookers have pondered whether the hacker has started moving the funds around again to manipulate the market and scare investors into selling their BTC.\n\nThe largest transaction Whale Alert detected was around 10,000 BTC, or $383 million, while other transactions amounted to as little as 0.29 BTC.

[ "Why a Tech Company Decided to Support Indie Filmmakers", null, "Our mission at Shift has always been clear: to help creators make the best possible work. This means improving their workflow, enhancing their security, and giving them all their content in a central place.\n\nBut let’s take a step back to the moment when a creative idea becomes reality. Every online video, TV commercial, branded spot, indie film, or blockbuster movie began as an idea that required support and resources to get from dream to screen. We asked ourselves: If we’re so committed to supporting the creative process, why not start at the very beginning?\n\nThis spring we decided to answer that question and began shaping the Shift Creative Fund program. There were lots of factors to consider: What kind of projects should we focus on? What kind of creatives need the most support? What kind of resources can we offer a creator beyond just a grant award?\n\nPrioritizing the needs of filmmakers\n\nThere are many grants for up-and-coming filmmakers but almost none for short narrative works, so we decided to focus our attention there. For a new filmmaker still finding his or her footing, short narrative pieces are fundamental. They’re a great opportunity to be creative, to play with narrative themes, and to prepare for longer feature projects. That said, we wanted filmmakers who had completed a project or two but had yet to advance to the next stage of their creative career.\n\nWe also realized that, for independent filmmakers to bring a project to life, they need more than just financial support. Filmmaking is a collaborative art form, and a filmmaker needs tools and resources beyond a budget.\n\nAn enthusiastic response from the film world\n\nTo kick off the program and get the creative process rolling, we put out a call for independent projects looking for funding to get their production off the ground. Several scripts and pitch decks came rolling in, and a small seed grant was awarded to the production team at SLMBR PRTY Films for Pioneers, which tells a harrowing story of survival, courage, and female endurance in the face of hopelessness. This production was particularly exciting to us because it featured an all-female team of producers, directors, writers, and actors.\n\nApplications for the larger grant officially opened in May — we were thrilled by the response. All over the country, filmmakers of all ages, styles, and backgrounds applied. The excitement throughout the indie film community was palpable, and we were blown away by the quality of applications. They were absolutely bursting with creative energy and unique ideas that spanned every conceivable genre.\n\nFor creators, the Shift Creative Fund is an opportunity to bring a creative vision to life; for us, it’s an opportunity to get on the ground floor of the creative process with a new community of creators. The filmmakers we connect with today will become the big-name directors, producers, and agency heads of tomorrow — an exciting prospect for everyone involved!\n\nIn July, we selected three winning filmmakers, who we’ll support through 2018 as they take their projects from pre-production to final cut. We’ll share behind-the-scenes videos, photos, updates, and blog posts from each team and look forward to learning more about the creative process through the lens of these independent film productions.\n\nYes, Shift is a tech company — not a production company, not a nonprofit, and not a film collective. But supporting the next generation of filmmakers gives us the opportunity to nurture a new aspect of the creative workflow while simultaneously bringing amazing stories to the screen that may otherwise not have been made. We can’t wait to see what this new venture yields and are ecstatic to share the journey (and the journey of the Creative Fund winners) with you." ]

Yeah, it doesn’t sound as Tom Ford-y, but these two new duos from the Tom Ford 2017 Summer Soleil collection are A LOT sparklier than I thought they’d be, and more pigmented too.\n\nThey may look chill on my face in these pics, but the Sheer Highlighting Duo in Reflects Gilt and Sheer Cheek Duo in Paradise Lust, which are — you’ll wanna site down for this! — $78 each (I KNOW), are much more pigmented than their names imply. I spent a lot of time buffing down my cheeks and cheekbones after applying the Cheek Duo and Highlighting Duo the first time because I was expecting to have to pack on layer upon layer. But that wasn’t the case.\n\nI feel like Tom’s shimmery and glittery duos are more nuanced than the NARS blushes, and the powder particles sit closer to the skin, making them look more natural, especially outdoors in sunlight. The pearl particles are finer, but ya know what? I don’t think most makeup lovers will notice a difference in real life. You’d have to be looking really closely.\n\nYes, the TF Duos are gorgeous, sure, but I don’t think they’re as earth-shattering as, say, the Cream Shadows from this collection (SWOON, baby, SWOON). If you’re still itching to splash some cash, I’d say go for the Highlighting Duo, because the highlighters also double as eyeshadows! I’m wearing the rose gold shade on my lids (applied with a wet brush).\n\nYou can find both of them now, along with the rest of the Tom Ford 2017 Summer Soleil collection, at Tom Ford counters and online.\n\nAnd in another installment of “Karen Takes Three Days to Watch a Movie,” our heroine re-watches a Nicolas Sparks movie on Netflix called Safe Haven, starring Juliana Hough and Josh Duhamel…\n\nSorry, it took me a second to remember that guy’s name because I always confuse him wtih Timothy Olypahnt, so when I picture Josh Duahmal’s face, I’m like, is that Fergie’s husband or that other guy from Justified? They could be twins!\n\nSafe Haven. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it before, but I’m not 100% sure. Is it just me, or are all Nicolas Sparks movies more or less the same?\n\nThere are always star-crossed lovers, of course, who either like each other right off the bat, or despise each other, but really like each other but don’t want to admit it, and sometimes there are extraneous forces or a misunderstanding/epic secret keeping them apart.\n\nSleepy seaside Southern towns are also frequently in the mix, as are scenes at the beach. And oh! — there’s always a big scene involving rain, immediately after which emotions are poured out.\n\nNot to say that I don’t enjoy them immensely, because I do, especially when I need to turn my brain to mush. 🙂", null ]

[ null, "When Rudy Giuliani left office, nobody imagined that a half decade later New Yorkers would again be confronted with the death of firefighters in a building unoccupied since September 11, 2001, or that Ground Zero would still be a hole in the ground. In that light, this week's deadly Deutsche Bank fire serves to further burnish Mr. Giuliani's special claim to 9/11 greatness, which one GOP hand calls \"the lynchpin of his candidacy, something he needs to guard and preserve.\"\n\nYet despite the contrast between Mr. Giuliani's swift moves to decontaminate and rebuild the site and the inaction since he left office, his 9/11 record may prove his undoing.\n\nFor all of Mr. Giuliani's success in bringing crime down and pulling the city back from the verge of economic collapse, his popularity had plunged during his second term, as his confrontational demeanor, aborted Senate run against Hillary Clinton and ugly divorce reminded New Yorkers just how dislikable the mayor could be. As of September 10th, 2001, Rudy Giuliani had no future in elected office.\n\nAll that changed when the Towers were struck.\n\nMr. Giuliani's run for the presidency has been predicated on his actions after the attacks—his shining hour, as it were. By focusing on that, and by speaking only in generalities about the previous years spent \"turning the city around,\" the Giuliani campaign has helped insulate his mayoral record from criticism on the right about his liberal stances as mayor on gun control, abortion and immigration.\n\nThus far, the gamble has paid off. With no declared candidate igniting the passions of the conservative base, Republican voters have embraced the former mayor's brand of strength and leadership.\n\nDemocratic attacks and media hit pieces (most recently in The New Yorker and Harper's keyed in on the one-name scandals every New Yorker can reel off: Louima and Dorismond; Kerik and Harding; Donna, Andrew and Caroline. None of this has dented his numbers among Republican primary voters, who mostly see the mayor as the man who turned around an ungovernable city.\n\nBut Mr. Giuliani's real problem is the very thing that has been regarded until now as his greatest strength: his strong association with post-9/11 leadership.\n\nIronically, that brand was strengthened when his request for an additional 90 days in office—highly unpopular at the time—to oversee the rebuilding process was turned down. Instead of a longer record of specific decisions and events that likely could have fed ammunition to critics and opposition researchers, he was left with the symbolic significance of his short stint unvarnished.\n\nIt is Michael Bloomberg and other elected officials have left the process in the hands of slow-moving and politically insulated bureaucrats. (Headline in the Aug. 22 Daily News: \"Tragic Blame Game.\")\n\nYet it is Mr. Giuliani who has the most to lose from the constant trickle of stories about first responders who've fallen ill (and who Mr. Bloomberg is fighting against providing with health benefits), new human remains discovered at the site, communications devices failing, and buildings decaying—not to mention attacks from politically antagonistic firefighter unions and 9/11 widows.\n\nMr. Giuliani has shown signs that he is aware of this vulnerability. Last September 11, he told the AP: \"'I spent as much time here as anyone. She did. She did,' Giuliani said, indicating his wife, Judith, and his spokeswoman, Sunny Mindel. ‘[Deputy Mayor] Joe Lhota did, and Joe got ill. [Deputy Mayor] Rudy Washington did and Rudy clearly got sick as a result of September 11.'\"\n\nBut his efforts to defend his record risk doing more harm than good, as was the case last week, when he said that he \"was at Ground Zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers\" and that he was \"exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to.\"\n\nIn response, the Times issued a report tracking his time at Ground Zero (29 hours between September 17 and December 16 of 2001), and critics pounced, with International Association of Firefighters President and frequent Rudy foil Harold Schaitberger declaring, \"On 9/11 all he did was run. He got that soot on him, and I don't think he's taken a shower since.\"\n\nMr. Giuliani did put his health on the line, and deserves credit for it. But the aggressive comparison about his physical role at Ground Zero with those of the first responders and volunteers who worked on the pile upset the delicate political balance by which he had benefited from his 9/11 record without appearing to exploit it.\n\nAs Mr. Giuliani must now be well aware, he is as little as one news development or poorly framed comment away from having the rationale for his political campaign pulled from under his feet.\n\nHarry Siegel is the co-author of Prince of the City: Giuliani, New York and the Genius of American Life." ]

[ "Hey, without a computer for the better part of the past nine days, I’ve gotten behind. Trying to crank some of these pieces out before the playoffs get real.\n\nNashville SC head coach Gary Smith often talks (in more general terms) about how different shapes for the opponent do or do not provide NSC good matchups when the Boys in Gold are in certain formations. Against NCFC, we saw both teams in the same 4-2-3-1 philosophy.\n\nThat applied both to the starting lineup and how the starters’ movements averaged out over the course of the game.\n\nThe central defensive midfielders stay close, the striker plays off the right attacking shoulder of his No. 10 (conveniently, both teams’ wearing the number itself in this game), and the fullbacks keep relatively conservative positions, rather than defending high up the field and overlapping to average a position that’s across the midway line.\n\nHowever, with those parameters established, we can also see where Nashville SC got better play to win the game. Here are the defensive actions for both teams’ holding midfielders:\n\nWhile both teams’ duos were able to do a little bit of sideline-to-sideline work defensively, Nashville’s had much more vertical range, with Bolu Akinyode doing work into his own box (LaGrassa’s No. 20 in the box was, I believe, on a corner kick), and LaGrassa getting all the way into the offensive Zone 14, and each of them on the border of the offensive third of the field along that left touchline.\n\nMeanwhile, NCFC’s duo were mostly kept in their own end. In fact, if I’d stripped out recoveries (which are generally considered to be less aggressive defensive actions – it’s essentially the ball showing up to you without much activity required on your own end), there were only a handful of defensive actions at all. Nashville SC won the midfield.\n\nThey also won the wings, and the activity of Alan Winn and Ropapa Mensah in getting into the offensive zone probably played a role in keeping North Carolina FC from pushing forward much.", null, "NCFC’s wingers were an absolute non-entity, while Nashville’s got on the ball, got the ball into dangerous areas, and helped drive the play.\n\nBoth teams had the same formation, with reasonably similar philosophies (albeit with slight tweaks, such as Nashville choosing to be more aggressive at home). The main difference between these two squads was, yes, a set piece goal, but more importantly, simple stronger play from the individuals.\n\nNashville did not win the possession game in this one. Though things were relatively even, they had 49% of the ball come the full time whistle. How is that reconciled with what looks a pretty dominant performance based on the above images?\n\nLet us take a look at game state, and where the possession took place. Here’s the full-game heatmap:", null, null, null, null, "The game largely played out almost exactly how Gary Smith would have liked. While the contest was level, the ball was kept in midfield, but with a tilt heavily toward the goal Nashville was attacking.\n\nThe second part is the one that soccer fans (including me) sometimes overlook: while the Boys in Gold led 1-0, the game was played wide, sure, but it did seem to be tilted toward the Boys in Gold’s defensive goal. However, that ended up working out perfectly. North Carolina FC was pushing for an equalizer, but NSC managed to keep them out of dangerous scoring areas. Thanks to NCFC throwing numbers forward, Nashville was given the opening to attack on the counter, which they did for the insurance goal. It can look scary, but playing in your own end is what Nashville wants there, because it provides that window to put the game away.\n\nAfter the score went to 2-0, Nashville easily kept NCFC pinned in its own end, and there was never a serious threat from Carolina after that.\n\nATL UTD 2 got four shots on-target, three of them from bad angles (shooting from wide gives less of the face of goal to shoot at) and even one of those from outside the box. The only one that looks credible there is the No. 42 right in front of the six-yard box, which came from a centerback off a corner kick. Not exactly the most-feared situation.\n\nThat’s not to say Nashville’s shotmap necessarily looks dominant – in part because a bunch of those guys on the doorstep cover each other up – but we have:\n\nSo… that’s a much higher volume of positive events. Perhaps not a woodshedding, but when you score three as early as NSC did, you can live with being a little more speculative for the rest of the game.\n\nGiven that they got 29 minutes apiece (including two minutes of stoppage time), this was the largest sample size we’ve had in quite some time for both Derrick Jones and Cameron Lancaster.\n\nOf course, given that Nashville was mostly seeing out a result by the time they entered the contest, there wasn’t a ton for either of them to do. Here’s their every-action map (attacking left-to-right):\n\nSolid passing, with the unsuccessful attempts most when trying to get the ball into scoring positions (i.e. times that taking a risk is worth it for the potential payoff), and aside from one unnecessary foul committed by Lancaster, not a whole lot negative to point out.\n\nAgain: game situation made it such that neither was going to have a ton to do.\n\nI did find it interesting that Jones played mostly as a true No. 10, as has been the case in most of his recent performances. Obviously a holding or box-to-box midfield role is his long-term future, but getting the opportunity to be a big, intimidating playmaker with the ball at his feet now can help him be a more dangerous attacker from those deep-lying positions when he settled into them in the future. It’s almost just a developmental placement for him.\n\nAs always, poke around the Opta data for yourself, and feel free to share your observations in the comments or on social media." ]
