"On a clear summer morning, the seven rivers of Hiroshima flow tranquilly through the city and people board the streetcars slowly plying the main avenu. Hiroshima No Pika (The Flash of Hiroshima) That morning in Hiroshima the sky was blue and cloudless. The sun was shining. Streetcars had. Hiroshima no pika written and illustrated by Toshi Maruki (translation of the same Japanese title; New York: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard, ).\n\nBut, now I am here and have seen your pictures. After a while she came out from the crowd and spoke to pija. How the family escaped, and found refuge by a river and watched as the city was engulfed in flames and destroyed. The format is perhaps for year olds.\n\nWhat first drew me to this book was the fact that it was about Hiroshima, and yiroshima being half japanese, I wanted to see hiroshkma they wrote down. If we don’t talk about hard issues with children, we don’t give them a chance to develop compassion and understanding at an early age and later could be too late.\n\nThere were crowds of people fleeing the fire. Trivia About Hiroshima No Pika. Hardcover48 pages. The descriptions of the scenes, the imagery and artistry depicted, the colors used and of course the view point of Mii certainly changed my mind about a simple picture book, which this book is not just a simple picture book. Refresh and try again. An entry in Kirkus reviews is always prestigious.\n\nThis is a heart-wrenching book based on the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, on August hirosihma, I would say at least high yiroshima.\n\nThe Art is akin to the ancient Japanese art style used primarily in the edo period where features would be muddled and not well defined, and people were drawn creamy and almost deformed with long faces and limbs. But after the flash, the images are hazy and twisted often including a black bull blended into the picture.",

"Look out for the red chopsticks that Mii clutches for days after the Flash, until her mother manages to prise them from her grip. She has been fighting for peace and advocating for nuclear disarmament ever since World War II. However, I found this book to be a great resource for teaching about this historical time in history so I would probably sent home permission forms before reading it to the students.\n\nLinnea in Monet’s Garden. This book was written about the Hiroshima bombing. Hiroshima’s seven rivers flowed quietly through the city It made me reflect on the differences in what is experienced by children all over the world while growing up. Reading this book also caused me to think about the morality of the atom bomb itself, and that led to great discussions with my husband. I would suggest any person to read this, young or old, and to never forget what we did that day.\n\nThe text, based on one woman’s account with bits of other people’s experiences mixed in, tells of a sunny day and a pleasant family breakfast interrupted by a sudden, terrible flash, followed by fire and chaos.\n\nFeb 09, Krista the Krazy Kataloguer rated it really liked it Shelves: Please listen to me! The story follows a family that barely survives the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and how the bomb affected them. Many years have passed, and she is still the same np she was when she was seven years old.\n\nThis book would be a good one to pair with “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” as it covers the actual event more, while Sadako goes in depth about the generation after and how they were impacted. There is no way to argue against the fact that bombs are terrible, and nuclear bombs are even more terrible, and that what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s populations was unbelievably awful.\n\nThen she did something amazing. She took Huroshima by the hand, and they began to run. She and her parents were breakfasting on sweet potatoes, which had been brought in the day before by cousins who lived in the country. Some people, all their strength gone, fell face down on the ground, and others fell on top of them.\n\nThe book warns that atomic bombs should never be used again. It goes into some graphic stuff, which would be hard for me if I had children to show, but as a human I feel like we should see what we are capable of and what we do has effect on hirosjima.\n\nSubsequent murals included portrayals of other wartime atrocities such as Auschwitz, the Nanking Massacre, and the Battle of Okinawa, as well as environmental disasters such as Minamata Disease, earning the Marukis a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Through Maruki’s heart-rending but beautiful water color illustrations, the film tells the story of a young girl and her family who live through the horrific bombing of Hiroshima.\n\nMiyajima was covered with beautiful pine and maple trees and surrounded by clear water. A burnt-out wasteland stretched before them as far as the eye could see.\n\nThis point of view from someone in Japan during the bombing of Hiroshima. The light was bright orange—then white, like thousands of lightning bolts all striking at once. The perspective of the young child really makes you realize how thankful you are for. It gleamed brightly over the dead and wounded.\n\nSometimes all students learn about is how great the United States is and justifications of this, but we have done tragic things to others. The author uses watercolor painted illustrations. They could see Miyajima island, wrapped in purple mist, across the water. When I would speak of the Flash, they would say I was trying to draw upon their pity or that I was exaggerating my story. I can’t answer that, though others I know have different opinions. In this book she reminds us not only of survivors who still suffer the aftereffects of the A-bomb many decades later, but also of forgotten victims like the Koreans who were brought to Japan for forced labor, only to be killed there by the bomb.\n\nOther books you might like: They graphically describe the pain of this tragic event. I had chills and cried after reading this book and tried to imagine reading to a child of mine and the types of discussion that the graphic and disturbing images, I could only imagine, would generate. The pictures after the bo Hiroshima No Pika is a tragic story about what a young girl and her parents go through the day the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

"Berlin: the «best city in the world»\n\nExcuse me for the excitement. Berlin is (excluding Lisbon) my favorite city so I can say that it is the best city in the world... and more.\n\nMy first experience with the German capital was in June 2006. At the age of 15, during the World Cup, I was flown to meet a friend of my mother who lived there and I had a week to explore the city as I wanted. I was in love - with the architecture, with the history that was palpable at every corner, with the life of the city (multiplied by a thousand with the number of fans who were there at that time). I came back and had dreams with the gates of Babylon, and when they asked me how the journey was, I replied: \"That is incredible. You are ten steps from any building, but 15 minutes later you are still in the same place.\"",
null,
"It was, therefore, natural that when we realized that the travel bug wasn't going to leave us, I suggested visiting Berlin. With the trip all planned, we landed in Schönefeld in September 2013 with four and a half days to revive memories and create new ones.\n\nOf course, I was afraid of having too high expectations. It had been seven years since I was there, I was not in the elementary school anymore and there was no World Cup to cheer up the city (but there were elections). Fortunately, my fear was unfounded. Berlin was even better, now with no security controls nearby the Brandenburg gates, with an even more cosmopolitan vibe. And, of course, I arrived with my lesson studied.\n\nWe were going to visit the big landmarks of the city, of course. I wouldn't, by any chance, miss my beloved Ishtar Gate (Eighth Gate of Babylon) at the Pergamon, and I was obviously going to pass through the Holocaust Memorial. But now there was the time, space, and desire to find that watchtower hidden in a street near Potsdamer Platz; and the maturity to better understand what is at stake in the Topography of Terrors.\n\nAnd that's what makes Berlin the best city in the world... and more. It pleases the fanatics of ancient history and those who prefer the twentieth century; it has an architecture for all tastes and shapes; it hides art in the most improbable corners; it has the best kebabs I have ever eaten... and, above all, it gives a lesson to all who are open to receive it."

"At age 15, Sarah Esty was the youngest person ever to graduate from the Women’s Campaign School (WCS) at Yale. She attended in the summer of 2005 with her mother, Elizabeth Esty ’85, who had just decided to run for Town Council in their hometown of Cheshire, CT. At the time, Sarah Esty had volunteered to run her mother’s campaign. That successful campaign sparked a passion for politics that has since become a career. Sarah Esty reflects on what she has learned working in law and politics as well as why it is important for more women to get involved in this field. Esty is currently an Associate at McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting company, and was recently the National Region 2 Voter Protection Director for the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton Campaign.\n\nQ: What made you apply to the WCS at Yale?\n\nA: My mom had just decided to run for Town Council in our hometown of Cheshire, CT, and I volunteered to run her campaign. So she applied to learn how to be a candidate and I applied to learn how to be a campaign manager. Our whole family was already very politically active. We had volunteered on many campaigns, and we'd all been involved when my dad ran for Planning and Zoning Commission a decade earlier, but my mom and I realized that both of us needed more formal training in order to be successful in this bigger race. We also knew that women face special challenges in running for office, and appreciated that WCS offered instruction targeted to address those issues.\n\nQ: What was your experience like going through the program?\n\nA: WCS was both informative and inspiring. We learned so much in that week, and loved being part of a cohort of politically engaged women from across the country and even the world. We left that week feeling so prepared to run her race and she won with 68% percent of the vote against an incumbent, so I'd say we were quite successful.\n\nMy mom went on to run and win a seat in the CT State Legislature and then in the U.S. Congress. I've gone on to manage half a dozen campaigns, work on many more, and lead countless campaign skills training sessions for staff and volunteers. Both of us continually go back to the things we learned at WCS, and find that it provided us a solid foundation of skills and frameworks for a what has become a life of political work for both of us.\n\nQ: What is your advice to women who are thinking about running for office or running a campaign?\n\nA: Do it. We so desperately need more women to run, and the evidence suggests that when women run, they win at the same rates as men or higher. The real source of the gender gap in politics is women not stepping up to run in the first place. There's an oft-quoted statistic that women need to be encouraged seven times to run before they actually do, so let me be one of those seven nudges for any woman thinking of running. Women have so many different skills and life experiences that they bring to the table, and we would all benefit from having more women at all levels of government. Also, know that by running, you're setting an amazing example for all the little girls out there.\n\nRunning for the first time can feel scary, but like anything new, it's hard at first and you get better as you go along, and no one else really knows what they're doing either, so just dive in. Programs like WCS help tremendously by giving you an overview of what's coming, building basic skills, and providing a support network of other women going through the same things as you, so I'd recommend doing a training if you can. I think many women aren't used to asking for things for themselves, but find that when they do start asking for help raising money, knocking on doors, taking pictures at events, or contacting voters, they receive overwhelming support from their friends and neighbors. So don't wait until some future date when you think you're qualified, because I bet if you're considering running, you already are.\n\nQ: Why is it important to get more women into politics and public service?\n\nA: For government to be truly representative, women should be half of our elected officials and appointed leaders, and we fall far short of that today. The underrepresentation of women means that the issues women care about don't get prioritized and funded, and our views don't get incorporated into laws and regulations. It also teaches little girls that people like them aren't equally in charge of shaping the future of our country, and that's terribly disempowering. And it doesn't need to be like this. Women have so much to offer and make great leaders. I wish more of them stepped up to run, because they would win and be awesome."

"Sanctuary of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj (1)\n\nThe Croatian people have always worshipped the Blessed Virgin Mary and in tribulations they have prayed for her help. They have trusted in her heavenly intercession, honouring her in token of their gratitude as the Queen of the Croatian people. They have also invoked her through history as Fidelissima Advocata Croatiae (the most devoted Advocate of Croatia).\n\nIn Sinj, one of the greatest Marian sanctuaries in Croatia, a celebration of Feast of Assumption on 15 August is given the special solemn significance. A vast multitude of pilgrims comes to Sinj with only one aim - to kneel with hands clasped in front of the Miraculous Madonna of Sinj, to bow in silent prayer and gratitude to heavenly Mother, to light a candle before the Image of the Madonna and open their hearts to her grace. Many people from far away vow to pilgrim barefoot or just on foot. The day before the celebration, užežin, Sinj is already crowded with people and the hubbub, making the streets and the Church too narrow. The first mass is celebrated at 4 a. m. At 7 a.m. the sacred votive mass is celebrated in the small church at the Old Town, thus reviving the feeling of gratitude to the Madonna for having delivered us from enemy's yoke and for comforting us in many temptations. The old fortress is resonant with the song of worship The Madonna of Sinj,\n\nHoly Virgin, God has glorified you wonderfully, wonderfully, voices of the entire world celebrate you, dearest Mother of your people... At 9.30 a.m., accompanied by the solemn ringing of bells and the sound of fanfare, the Image of the Miraculous Madonna of Sinj is taken out of the Church to be brought into a solemn procession through the streets of Sinj. It is a great honour to carry the Image on one's shoulders. It is carried by the Alkari, the Alka squires, policemen, members of the Croatian Army, firemen, members of the Association of Croatian volunteer combatants, members of the Association of Homeland War veterans and volunteers, members of civil associations, nuns and Franciscans, bandsmen, girls in folk costumes, mayors and benefactors of the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Sinj. Cannon balls (mačkule) are fired from the Old Town fortress, thus indicating the benediction place. The people of Sinj sprinkle flower petals from the windows on the Madonna's path. Accompanied by the prayers of the rosary and liturgical songs worshipping the Madonna, the Image is brought back to the square in front of the Church where the holy mass is celebrated (at about 11 a.m). In the evening, the mass is also celebrated in the town square (usually at 6 p.m.). Feast of Assumption is further celebrated as the Day of the Town of Sinj.\n\nChurch of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj\n\nPeaceful and majestic, framed with the bronze door in relief made by the academic sculptor Stipe Sikirica, the Church of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj dominates the town main square. Built during the 1699-1712 period, it has preserved its original appearance, though many times damaged resisting wars and earthquakes.\nThe Image of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj takes the central place, both in the Church and in the hearts of the people of Sinj. It is a work of an unknown painter, dating back to the 15th or 16th century. With her head slightly tilted and eyes lowered, she has devotedly watched over her people, ever since they, driven off by the Turks, brought her along from Rama as the greatest treasure and hope to the Cetina Region. The defenders and franciscans believed that in 1715 Sinj was once and for all delivered from Turkish rule with the help of her miraculous influence.\nIn token of gratitude, the people of Sinj crowned the Image in 1716 with a golden crown, on which there is an inscription reading IN PERPETUUM CORONATA TRIUMPHAT - ANNO MDCCXV (Triumph crowned in eternal – the year of 1715). The Image is nowadays silver-framed, with a relief of Sinj fortress on the back (by the sculptor Ante Jakić), adorned with votive offerings of worshippers.\nIn addition to the Madonna's altar, in the Church there are altars of St Joseph, St Francis of Assisi, St Anthony of Padua, St Nicholas Tavelić and St Paulin.\nA stone altar, the work of the academic sculptor Kuzma Kovačić, stands out in the presbytery, as well as stained-glass windows made by the academic sculptor Anton Vrlić. Above the entrance door, there are stained-glass windows showing Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the images of Father Pavao Vučković and St Nicholas Tavelić. The side walls of the nave show the works of the academic painter Ivan Grgat, these being the images of evangelists, Blessed Alojzije Stepinac and Venerable Ante Antić. Behind the main altar, there are a mosaic and a stained-glass window showing the crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Christ on the cross, the work of the academic painter Josip Botteri Dini.\nIn the inner church courtyard, there is a bronze relief by Kuzma Kovačić, showing the Image of the Lady of Sinj crowned with twelve stars. The relief is the same",
null,
"as the detail on the door of the Franciscan church at Šćit in Rama (Bosnia and Hercegovina).\nThe today's church tower, which consists of four new bells and is 43.5 metres in height, was completed in 1927. It was built in the place of the old tower, dating from 1775. In 1958, new organs, made by the Franc Jenko firm from Ljubljana, were inaugurated. The Church itself was consecrated in 2009, together with the new altar (also was blessed the Madonna's statue placed in the monastery courtyard, made by the academic sculptor Josip Marinović). Both the Church and the Franciscan Monastery are included in the Register of Cultural Property of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia as a part of the sacral architectural heritage under protection.\n\nStations of the cross at the Old Town\n\nFrom the foothill to the votive church at the Old Town the Way of the Cross is built. Stations were sculptured by the most prominent Croatian sculptors and blessed by Franciscan provincial minister Joško Kodžoman in 2016.\n\nAs the oldest secondary school in the hinterland, it started work in the academic year of 1838/39. Through the 1854 reorganisation it acquired the right of public work. Sinj Franciscan Grammar School is also the first secondary school in southern Croatia which introduced the Croatian language as a language of instruction.\n\nMore informations about Sinj and Cetina region: Sinj Tourist Board"

"Towards a Non-classical Meta-theory for Substructural Approaches to Paradox\n\nIn the literature on self-referential paradoxes one of the hardest and most challenging problems is that of revenge. This problem can take many shapes, but, typically, it besets non-classical accounts of some semantic notion, such as truth, that depend on a set of classically defined meta-theoretic concepts, like validity, consistency, and so on. A particularly troubling form of revenge that has received a lot of attention lately involves the concept of validity. The difficulty lies in that the non-classical logician cannot accept her own definition of validity because it is given in a classical meta-theory. It is often suggested that this mismatch between the consequence relation of the account being espoused and the consequence relation of the meta-theory is a serious embarrassment. The main goal of the paper is to explore whether certain substructural accounts of the paradoxes can avoid this sort of embarrassment. Typically, these accounts are expressively incomplete, since they cannot assert in the object language that certain invalid arguments are in fact invalid. To overcome this difficulty I develop a novel type of hybrid proof-procedure, one that takes invalidities to be just as fundamental as validities. I prove that this proof-procedure enjoys a number of interesting properties and I analyze the prospects of applying it to languages capable of expressing self-referential statements.\nEdit",

"Obama creates the largest protected place on the planet, in Hawaii\n\nAdd to list\nOn my list\nPresident Obama is creating the largest protected area on the planet. Here’s what you need to know about where it is, what it’s for and how to pronounce it. (Gillian Brockell/The Washington Post)\nBy Juliet Eilperin\n\nPresident Obama on Friday created the largest ecologically protected area on the planet when he expanded a national marine monument in his native Hawaii to encompass more than half a million square miles.\n\nThe president more than quadrupled the size of the Papahanaumokuakea (pronounced “Papa-ha-now-moh-koo-ah-kay-ah”) Marine National Monument to 582,578 square miles of land and sea in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.\n\nPresident George W. Bush established the monument a decade ago, but Obama’s action Friday underscores the high priority he has placed on issues of conservation and climate change in his second term. The president has now used his executive authority under the 1906 Antiquities Act to protect more than 548 million acres of federal land and water, more than double the set-asides of any of his predecessors.\n\nMany scientists, environmentalists and Native Hawaiians have argued for more stringent protections for the biologically rich region, given important deep-water discoveries in the area and the dual threats of climate change and sea-bed mining.\n\n“The oceans are the untold story when it comes to climate change, and we have to feel a sense of urgency when it comes to protecting the ocean that sustains us,” said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), who helped broker a compromise with groups including Native Hawaiians and day-boat fishermen.",
null,
"In his official proclamation, Obama declared, “It is in the public interest to preserve the marine environment.”\n\nAll commercial extraction activities, including fishing and future deep-sea mining, will be prohibited in the expanded monument area. However, recreational fishing, removal of resources for traditional Hawaiian cultural purposes and scientific research will be allowed with a federal permit.\n\nObama will highlight his action in an address Wednesday to the Pacific Islands Conference of Leaders and the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Honolulu, and will travel the following day to Midway Atoll, which is located within the current monument.\n\nThe president has unilaterally established more than two dozen national monuments, most of them in his second term. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Obama “would be happy to sign into law a piece of legislation that would have protected these waters, but we haven’t seen that kind of legislative activity in this Congress, and it means the president has had to make more effective use of his executive authority.”\n\nLongline fishermen lobbied against any new protections, arguing that their industry rejects damaging practices such as trawling and needs flexibility to sustain an annual catch valued at more than $100 million.\n\n“We move all over the ocean, in the way the fish move,” said Jim Cook, co-owner of POP Fishing and Marine, a Honolulu store, adding that the new restrictions mean 60 percent of federal waters off Hawaii are now closed to fishing.\n\nWith Friday’s action, seven presidents — starting with Theodore Roosevelt in 1909 — have taken steps to safeguard parts of the archipelago, which is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world. It is the planet’s largest seabird gathering site, with more than 14 million birds from 22 species, and is home to nearly all Laysan albatrosses and the remaining endangered Hawaiian monk seals.\n\nRecent research expeditions have unearthed extraordinary features beyond the existing monument boundaries, such as the world’s oldest living animal — a black coral estimated to be 4,500 years old — and six massive seamounts, one of which is nearly 14,000 feet high and teeming with life. This area also includes the wreckage of the USS Yorktown, which sank during the Battle of Midway in 1942 and has not been visited since it was discovered there in 1998.\n\nDaniel Wagner, a researcher at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who served as the scientific lead for the agency’s deep-water expeditions in the region a year ago and again in February, said every one of the 50 biological samples that remotely operated vehicles recovered were either new species or “not known to live in the area.”\n\n“We’re seeing a lot of life, a lot of new life and a lot of very old life,” he said. “Things have not been disturbed for a very long time.”\n\nWagner said he is particularly concerned about future underwater mineral extraction, given the rich deposits of manganese, nickel, zinc, cobalt and titanium in the region. “If they’re not protected, they’re going to be exposed to mining,” he said.\n\nMatt Rand, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Global Ocean Legacy program, said that intact ecosystems such as these “offer a glimpse of what our planet was like before the impacts of human activity, and it is critical that we preserve places in this way, both as a window to the past and for future generations.”\n\nSchatz suggested a change to the proposal that carved out areas where day-boat fishermen in Kauai and Niihau can continue operating. His suggestion won the support of influential state officials such as Democratic state Sen. Ron Kouchi. Kouchi said in an interview that he could back Obama’s expansion as long as it is the last one.\n\n“One of the questions the fishermen are asking is, ‘When will it stop?’ ” he said.\n\nFederal officials estimate that 5 percent of current commercial fishing efforts will be displaced. Longline operators already catch about half their fish in international waters, and they reached their annual catch limit for big-eye tuna in early August.\n\nHowever, Sean Martin, president of the Hawaii Longline Association, said the industry’s fleet of 145 boats could not match the lobbying power of well-financed environmental groups such as Pew.\n\n“We’re obviously going up against environmental organizations that have billions of dollars,” Martin said. “For somebody to feel good, we’re going to force U.S. fishermen out of waters.”\n\nRepublicans have accused Obama of abusing his authority under the Antiquities Act, which says any protections must “be confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected.”\n\nBut Richard Pyle, a researcher at Hawaii’s Bishop Museum, said he and other scientists have concluded that the ecological interconnectedess of the region — including the fish larvae that are dispersed on currents, and the sharks and other pelagic fish that travel vast distances — extends beyond federal waters.\n\n“The minimum space necessary for protection, it’s more about 350 to 380 miles, but of course we don’t have the jurisdiction for doing so,” Pyle said.\n\nSome Native Hawaiian activists, moreover, lobbied for greater protection so they could continue to observe traditional voyaging practices in which they navigate without instruments. The state Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs will serve as trustees in managing the monument.\n\nWilliam Aila, a former state official and Hawaiian activist, said Thursday that the president’s move will preserve “a cultural seascape, with the history of the Polynesians who migrated up to Hawaii.”\n\nHe recalled that when he journeyed to Mokumanamana, or Necker Island, in 2009, “you could feel the presence of your ancestors,” not just in the earth but in “the symphony of birds, all night and all day long.”\n\nAsked what he thought of the monument expansion, Aila switched to Hawaiian. “Olu olu,” he said. “In English, that’s ‘very pleasant.’ ”"

"Con artist, chameleon, musician, writer and journalist. Those are some nifty identities to wear on your utility belt. All play off of themselves and all enable Michael Hall to gain access to what he wants out of life and to the lives’ of the subjects he covers.\n\nAs a senior editor for Texas Monthly, Hall has had the occasion to write about issues covering the spectrum, from death penalty cases to Lance Armstrong’s performance enhancing ways, even his mother’s endeavors into the professional ranks of quilt making. And his writing makes an impression. He won the Texas Gavel Award in 2003 for his story, Death Isn’t Fair, regarding capital punishment, and was nominated for a National Magazine Award.\n\nHall is disarming in appearance and nature. Of medium height and moderate weight, he has this cooked down Texas look. With a day of stubble on his sunned face, modest soul patch and southwestern styled shirt, Hall has been broken-in nicely, like your favorite leather satchel. But it’s the hair and glasses that complete the look. The mess of tangled reddish curls mix fabulously with the thick black plastic frame glasses he sports. Take a piece of Buddy Holly, a pinch of Elvis Costello and add a dose of Lou Reed and perhaps you can snatch a visual image of Hall’s appearance.\n\nHe’s not originally from Texas. His father was in the Army so they moved about, which exposed him to travel, different people and varying cultures. Combining that with his cool demeanor and road sensibilities from being a touring musician, Hall has an easy worldliness that makes people want to talk to him.\n\n“Yes I’m a liberal soft-handed guy from Austin, absolutely,” says Hall. “But I go in there and I make it a point and I tell the writers the same thing…go into these little towns and start a conversation. They are populated by crazy Republican rednecks but they are humans and you go and start a conversation with them and they are always friendly.”\n\nTexas is a great place to practice this art due to the numerous subcultures, but also because in reality the Lone Star state is about like visiting a foreign country, if not several foreign countries mashed into one gigantic state.\n\nHall’s not by any stretch the only guy around who writes and plays a guitar in Austin. They pretty much issue you an acoustic guitar upon entering the city limits, but Hall brings insightfulness to his lyric writing and journalism that is a brand apart due to his life experience.",
null,
"Steaming into middle age has not slowed him at all. Hall has a current band, “The Savage Trip,” which is mostly acoustic because he claims they are old guys and he’s tired of dealing with drummers and bass players. He also gigs with his superstar on again off again band The Setters featuring Hall, Walter Salas-Humara and Alejandro Escovedo.\n\nIt was his band the Wild Seeds that put him on the musical map. Here his songwriting drew notice and highlighted Hall’s ability to craft offbeat depictions of the common man and his plight against the greater forces that exist in the world.\n\nThere’s an ironic and self-deprecating sense of humor at work here. Hall and his band The Woodpeckers once hosted a “Gloriathon” at the Liberty Lunch in Austin. They played the song “Gloria” for 24-hours with the assistance of numerous local musicians and even had Van Morrison phone in a lead vocal from England.\n\nHall rode the rock ‘n’ roll life seriously for a solid decade and then found he needed something else – a job.\n\n“I saw the world and wrote some good songs and all,” says Hall, “and then all of a sudden I’m 39-years old and it was obvious that I was not Thom Yorke and so I needed to get a career.”\n\nHe had written before for his college newspaper at the University of Texas and for the Austin American-Statesman, among others, so writing was not new to him. Hall set about it the same way he did writing his lyrics, by picking up rocks and looking in the nooks and crannies for the darker subjects less seen.\n\nA career in music might have been nice but the benefits tend to suck. Overall Hall is at ease with his life, no bitterness from what might have been – he’s on to new challenges.",
null,
"Currently he’s working on a huge cover story for Texas Monthly detailing a living history of Willie Nelson, which puts Hall right back in his wheelhouse, talking to people and getting them to tell stories.\n\nLike Hall’s back story to his tune, Let’s Get Some Drugs and Drive Around, much of his life is about taking risks, about saying no to mainstream culture, about finding your own way to do something dangerous and out of that finding something real, even if the act itself was unbelievably stupid.\n\nSo let’s “gas up the car, and get some beer too, how about a six pack for me and a 12 pack for you – let’s get some drugs and drive around…”\n\nYou know that doesn’t sound like such a bad idea. I’ll bet taking that ride with Mike Hall would be a whole bunch of fun."

"Why isolate Jews, who would no longer be afforded any opportunity to either thrive or survive? They could be released into society without any—to the Nazis—“fear.” The incarcerated intelligentsia would likewise be emancipated, for why take the trouble to minimally feed and house them when their objectionable convictions could find no effective expression in any case? Political resisters would have no resistance in which to participate; gypsies, homosexuals, and others whose lifestyles depend on the kindness of a population predominantly Christian would die off of their own accord, as well. There would be no more Auschwitz, in other words, not because it and all it represents had been overcome, but because the whole society would have become one big Auschwitz in and of itself.\n\nNow imagine the denizens of such a dystopia congratulating their leaders and, by extension, themselves, for their own marvelous broad-mindedness in releasing all of these people. Imagine, after a German victory, the mass media teeming with scenes of the now-empty camps, under the above-mentioned conditions, presented as a moral vindication of the National Socialist side. Never mind the fact that the very existence of these places of extermination-by-labor had never been reported on, or generally admitted, in the first place. The important thing would be that they don’t exist any more! “The Fuehrer Frees the Captives!” all headlines would, with only slight variation, proclaim. Once that piece of propaganda had been enthroned as the prevailing narrative, not only the military but even the ideological victory of the National Socialists would have to have been considered complete.\n\nThis is the scenario that springs to mind as one reads that Cardinal Robert Sarah has requested that the clergy begin celebrating the Holy Mass, even in the Novus Ordo, ad orientem once again. Shouldn’t those of us who love the TLM and appreciate its rich and ancient symbolism be rejoicing at this announcement? Should we not, hat in hand, be retracting every aspersion cast on the theology, motives, and general pontificate of Pope Francis, who will now—if these recommendations are implemented--have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be not the opponent of capital-t Tradition but in fact, by virtue of what is taking place on his watch, its effective champion? Already the kudos for the present Holy Father are pouring in, as though it had been he himself and not one of his most outspoken theological opponents recommending these salutary restorations. Still, let us say the Mass does begin to be celebrated ad orientem again. The question still remains: would it be because Pope Francis and his cohorts really want to allow it, or because—after Amoris Laetitia—they can?\n\nThe “source and summit” of the Christian life is the Holy Eucharist. Its evisceration of all mystical meaning by the editorially submerged but doctrinally devastating Footnote 351 constitutes a breakthrough long prepared and fought for by the internal enemies of the Church. Now that their ideology is definitively ascendant, they can afford to be generous. Indeed, for many public relations and other reasons, it positively behooves them to do so.\n\nWhat difference does it make if the faithful are “allowed” to kneel when receiving Holy Communion again, now that the Roman Pontiff himself stands stiff-kneed and stiff-necked before every tabernacle he encounters, with the whole world looking on? Why not let celebrant and flock alike face the east, liturgically or literally, after the principle has been established that it is subjective correspondence to the dictates of one’s own conscience, and not religious submission of the intellect and will to Christ which finally counts? If, in the minds of the Bergoglians, a “bit of bread and wine (can) do no harm,” then how can a little ancient orientation?\n\nWhile Amoris Laetitia stands, a priest facing east poses no more of a threat to the Modernist weltanschauung than a member of the Polish intelligentsia forced to teach the salient concepts of Mein Kampf. What parishioners are being permitted to bend the knee to at the moment is the Bergoglian notion that one makes up his own mind about the reception of Holy Communion, and then “goes forward” even though Our Lord requires one to wait in the Confessional line instead. Cardinal Sarah himself alluded to this fly in the ointment by stating that “ambiguity” must be excluded from his invitation to revert to sound liturgical practices. “\n\nAmbiguity,” of course, is Church PC code for the blatant heresy laced throughout Bergoglian rhetoric like arsenic in an otherwise tempting and tasty meal. Bishop Athanasius Schneider, too, has warned us that the motives and goals of the Bergoglian Revolution are nothing short of totalitarian. In view of the carrots and sticks evidently incoming, we would do well to realize and remember it. We will face the east, all right, but the true East of Catholic Tradition--requiring no merely human permission to do so, and heeding no merely human inducement to desist.\n\n[Comment Guidelines - Click to view]\nThe Remnant values the comments and input of our visitors.

"The first time I saw Judas Priest live was at Ozzfest 2004, where they opened for Black Sabbath. Before then, I couldn’t name one of their songs to save my life. In the back of my mind, Judas Priest was some niche leather and studs band that had chosen to glorify the name of the disciple who betrayed Jesus (this is due to my sheltered, evangelical Christian upbringing). Even though I had already long walked the forbidden halls of heavy metal by 2004, I still hadn’t been acquainted with Judas Priest. Their performance at Ozzfest changed everything – I hung on every tempo shift, blistering solo and screeching wail, delighted and surprised at every corner, mind blown by the power and energy they delivered. No band to that date had managed to keep me at such rapt attention for their entire set. I was blown away.\n\nFlash forward to last night at Showare Center in Kent, Washington. Touring in support of their recently released Firepower album, Priest blew me away again. I have heard Rob Halford sound tired before, but last night he was absolutely energized, pushing his vocals and delivering the high notes beyond anything I heard him do during the Angel of Retribution and Nostradamus tours. Any preconceptions I may have had about the band growing a bit tired with age were decimated in a molten hail of heavy metal as Halford and crew raged through their set list. From the opening song (“Firepower”) until the closer (“Living After Midnight”), and through middle numbers from the whole of their considerable catalogue, Priest were utterly riveting. “Painkiller” was a highlight, as it always is, but the real treat came when Glenn Tipton, who had announced earlier this year that he would no longer be touring with Priest due to his struggles with late-stage Parkinson’s disease, joined Halford, Hill, Travis, Faulkner and Sneap on stage and performed the three-song encore set.\n\nTipton’s appearance on stage ignited the entire crowd of fans, who roared their approval. The love, support, and appreciation that filled Showare Center in that moment was overwhelming. 70 years old and fighting a degenerative disease, Tipton laid down his part like the living legend he is. THAT is Metal. It was touching, bittersweet, and a moment in history that nobody in the crowd will ever forget.\n\nThank you Glenn, and thank you Judas Priest.\n\nWhile this goes down in my book as another of the greatest shows I have ever attended, Showare Center gets an ‘F’. Their floor is large enough to house the Seattle Thunderbirds ice hockey rink, and they chose to fill it with assigned folding chairs. They packed us in like sardines, no space to move at all, and so we stood stationary through the entire show. This situation really placed a barrier between the attendees and the band, and negatively affected the experience. When you pay as much for GA Floor tickets as we all did, this setup is unacceptable.\n\nLastly, there was no liquor available. While I understand the knee-jerk fear behind serving liquor to metal fans, the beer-only approach is just lame. The venue was geared more for Disney on Ice than a metal show, and it sucked. Shame on you, Showare Center!"

"Jeff Schultz’ tribute/love letter to Uga ($$) is well worth your time.\n\n… There used to be a couple of steps, not a ramp, from the doggy door to the yard, but Charles Seiler didn’t realize when he built the house 10 years ago — literally designing it around the dog’s quarters — that stairs and English bulldogs can be a dangerous mix.\n\n“Tore his ACL the first year we had him,” he said.\n\n“It’s a live-and-learn thing. I didn’t realize the steps were going to be a problem,” Charles said. “Poor guy blew out his ACL. He hadn’t even done a game yet. But think about it: The front legs of a bulldog are like tanks. The back ones are just designed to keep his balls from dragging. As they cut and turn and do all that, that bag leg just swings around like a chicken wing.”\n\nSpeaking of wings, here’s what’s waiting in them:\n\n“Que,” or Uga X, is 8 years old. It’s near retirement time. But he has been resting for a year and a half, and there’s no reason to make a change now. There’s a depth chart at the breeders. “We always keep a couple of spares,” Charles said. The two on deck: “Sony” and “Nick.”\n\nAn Alliance, if you can keep it\n\nThe ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 are set to formally announce an alliance, which pending final approvals could come as early as Tuesday, sources told Yahoo Sports. The Athletic first reported the possibility of an announcement this week.\n\nThe Alliance will center on a shared vision for the future governance of college athletics. For now, the Alliance will mean the three leagues can, among other things, form a voting block that will blunt the growing influence of an expanded SEC. It also allows three leagues that consider themselves like-minded to gain voting power on issues as the NCAA’s influence diminishes.\n\nCan you feel the excitement?\n\nOn the scheduling front, the idea is that each football team in the three conferences would play one opponent from each of the other two leagues on an annual basis. Sounds great, until you get into the details. The Big Ten and Pac-12 would evidently reduce their conference schedules from nine to eight in order to accommodate this. (The ACC is already at eight.) Notre Dame would count as an ACC team for this purpose. Even taking all of that into account, it seems like a bunch of guaranteed games would need to be bought out to make the numbers work. That ain’t gonna happen, so shrinking conference schedules is really the only way in the short term to open up inventory for the Alliance.\n\nA bit more info on the Alliance, per sources, set to be announced today at 2 ET: There will be no widespread CFB scheduling principles outlined yet. Too many contracts in place and uncertainty about potential expanded CFP model. Individual leagues could still make adjustments.\n\nAh, but the spite!\n\nFour ACC teams have annual games with in-state SEC rivals — Clemson-South Carolina, Georgia Tech-Georgia, Florida State-Florida and Louisville-Kentucky. Those games would continue, but there would be a decided lack of available non-conference dates for other SEC teams seeking major opponents.\n\nSomehow, I don’t think Greg Sankey is losing any sleep over that possibility. As I’ve said before, I’ll wait to see which Alliance school is the first to turn down a $5 million pay day to face ‘Bama in a neutral site opener. Besides, if the SEC needs more big games, it can always increase the conference schedule; that’s what adding Oklahoma and Texas gives you.\n\nWhat’s striking to me here is while the Alliance purports to be wary of ESPN’s influence, it’s adopting the exact approach Mickey already embraced that’s likely to diminish traditional passions for college football. Dropping a conference game so that Oregon State can face Georgia Tech is the kind of swapping regionalism for national appeal that ESPN has openly pushed since the CFP came into existence. Sure, there’s a shiny toy aspect to it that will drum up appeal in the short run, but it won’t take long for the viewing public to look for newer, shinier toys.\n\nAnd that’s the thing. If you’re hungry for a national appeal for college football, the NFL is already there for you and will likely do a better job of it.\n\nThe irony here is that the SEC, whether it’s forced into it by the other three P5s or willingly accepts it, is looking like it will be the last regional holdout. My bet is that five to ten years from now, the Alliance is going to be comparing broadcast ratings between them and the SEC and wondering what went wrong.\n\nAs far as the rest goes, well, if the Alliance is that hung up about ESPN that they’re willing to forego playoff expansion for another few years, more power to them. It’s not as if the SEC is going to be shut out. And such a power play isn’t likely to win the three of them many friends between the G5 and Notre Dame.\n\nYou’ll notice I didn’t mention the Big 12 there. That’s because the one thing it appears the Alliance will accomplish in the short run is to kill the Big 12 off for good. The only question is how long Bowlsby’s conference clings to OU and UT to stave off complete collapse before 2025. Enjoy it while it lasts, fellas.\n\n“Schools within the three conferences believe they are like-minded, that they want to continue to prioritize broad-based sports offerings and that the academic profile of their institutions matters — as does graduating athletes.”\n\nWhen they say it isn’t about the money…\n\nAll aboard the Dawg train\n\nThis clip is worth watching, if only to hear Aaron Murray say, “but you’ve got a quarterback, finally, in Athens”. Wonder how long that “finally” covers, LOL.\n\nNo. 5 Georgia takes on No. 3 Clemson to start the season. The crew make their picks! @KevinCarter_93 – Georgia @aaronmurray11 – Georgia @JonesN4mo – Georgia pic.twitter.com/VFDCVkOmPN\n\nJust haggling over the fee\n\nThis would be funny if it weren’t so inevitable.\n\nIn January 2019, in front of hundreds of college sports administrators and executives at the NCAA’s annual convention in Orlando, Mark Emmert made a prediction about the impact of sports betting on the college athletics world.\n\nIt will “threaten the integrity of college sports,” he told the crowd before him.\n\nIn the latest such evidence, the Fiesta Bowl is partnering with Caesars Entertainment, the Nevada-based gambling company, in what is believed to be the first sports betting and fantasy gaming alliance between a college football bowl game and a gambling property.\n\nIn today’s college athletics, the only thing with a better winning record than Nick Saban is money.\n\nFiled under Bet On It\n\nSo, any hope of a Georgia mention in Brandon Marcello’s piece about the true freshmen looking in preseason camps like they’ll be real contributors this season?\n\nWhy, yes, thanks for asking.\n\nGeorgia needs all the good news it can get at receiver, where three options have been sidelined due to injuries.\n\nTight end Arik Gilbert, the 5-star transfer from LSU, and backup Darnell Washington are out (for now); and receivers Kearis Jackson, Jermaine Burton and Dominick Blaylock did not participate in the first scrimmage of preseason camp. All of this news comes in the wake of losing top-tier receiver George Pickens in the offseason due to an ACL surgery.\n\nSo, who will step up as the season opener against Clemson quickly approaches? Turns out 3-star freshman Adonai Mitchell continues to impress after an impressive spring in which he caught a team-high seven passes for 105 yards in the spring game.\n\n“Coaches and teammates have mentioned his explosiveness and raw potential at the position and he has gotten a ton of reps with the Bulldogs being banged up at wide receiver,” says Georgia insider Jake Rowe. “He impressed in the first preseason scrimmage with a couple of acrobatic grabs and it’s looking more and more like he’ll have a substantial role in UGA’s 2021 offense.”\n\nI keep telling myself it’s realistic to expect Mitchell to be the latest in a long line of G-Day wonders who do little once the season kicks off, but I have to admit the buzz around him has been sustained longer than I expected. Maybe he’s about to prove to be the exception to the rule. Lord knows his timing couldn’t be better.\n\nHit ’em in the pocketbook.\n\nThe SEC has yet to finalize its 2021 COVID-19 game cancellation policy, but sources have confirmed to The Athletic that league officials are discussing a potential financial penalty that could be applied along with forcing a team to forfeit if it does not have the minimum number of players available.\n\nEssentially, if canceled games cost the league television money, then schools whose teams had to forfeit would receive less from the conference’s revenue-sharing agreement than schools that did not have to forfeit games. The idea behind this is to avoid penalizing schools that had their teams ready to play.\n\nIt’s one thing for Vandy to bail on a game in which it was going to get its ass kicked, minus any real consequences. It’s a whole other thing when the conference starts withholding checks, mofo.\n\nTFW you don’t care if you win the press conference\n\nIs it just me, or does Tater Tot seem to have lost a few miles off his fastball?\n\nThe full quote from Terry Bowden on why ULM still hasn’t released a roster. pic.twitter.com/CHfmnpU9Bt"

"Youths all over the world have been organising themselves and building alliances to speak with one voice and lobby governments' to \"Seal the Deal,\" which aims to build overwhelming support for a comprehensive global climate agreement to take effect after the Kyoto Protocol expires.\n\nWorld's governments met at the 15th Conference of Parties of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in held from 7 to 19 December 2009.\n\nYoung people of the world are most of the times victims of environmental hazards and most recently climate change.\n\nWhen youths are informed, educated, trained, empowered they can take the leading role in the fight against climate change and environmental hazards affecting them at all levels.\n\nThe youths of The Gambia were represented at this submit by Ebrima Dem - National Representative of the Global Unification Gambia Chapter and Ibrahim Ceesay - National Coordinator of the Children for Children Organisation.\n\nIn a press briefing Mr. Ebrima Dem said that in recent years the issue of climate change has shifted focus from just an environmental problem to a developmental challenge and the importance of youth participation is crucial in the Cop15. As he put it, young people were the most affected whenever decisions arise from such meeting.\n\nAccording to him, they are the group that can bring about change and have a say in whatever decision was to be made.\n\nThe ’s representatives said that Africa should go to with a common platform: to fight poverty and disaster risk reduction since world leaders failed to sign the fair and ambitious deal.\n\nBut they expressed dismay over what they described as after nine hours of direct negotiations from world leaders on the final day, a weak agreement was reached by a diverse group of interests.\n\nMr. Essa Khan from the Disaster Risk Management Committee said that climate change one way or the other affects the world.\n\n\"Developed countries refused to reduce their carbon emission to about 40%, and that was a bone of contention because of the negative impact it will have in their economies.\n\nDisaster risk reduction is a fundamental tool for climate change.\n\n\"Disasters happen due to our own decisions e.g. people sitting along water ways sit on harms way,\" he stated, noting that Disaster Risk Reduction is interrelated with climate change, and that’s what people failed to understand.",

"As with other classifications of criminal statutes, crimes against public justice are loosely categorized according to who suffers. These crimes might be grouped in with victimless crimes but stand apart in as much as these crimes, at least in theory, involve impairment of the legal system.\n\nThe “other” category includes offenses such as baby swapping (substituting one child for another); barratry (bringing forth groundless lawsuits); fortifying access points to a place where a felony is being committed; and selling land under a false title.\n\nSome archaic Oklahoma crimes against public justice remain on the books, particularly a flag desecration law that was invalidated by Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 1989.\n\nSelf-Defense for the Legal System\n\nBecause most crimes against public justice involve some form of adversarial or untoward interaction with the legal system, police, prosecutors, and even judges might consider those accused of public justice crimes to be less compliant or more adversarial than others. For this reason, defenses can sometimes involve persuading prosecutors the alleged incident was an isolated occurrence. Contrition and a demonstration of compliant behavior can sometimes mitigate genuinely bad behavior in the eyes of prosecutors.\n\nThese can also be crimes prosecutors or police over-zealously charge. A suspect who goes limp and must be dragged to a police car might be wrongly charged with resisting. An otherwise complaint person who repeatedly states objections to an arrest might be wrongly cited for interfering with an officer.\n\nOther offenses against public justice can involve underlying crimes against persons or crimes against property. Accessory to a felony, conspiracy, or participating in a pattern of criminal 0ffenses might involve robbery, theft, or even murder yet, for classification purposes, the harm goes beyond the individual victims or the disregard for a particular law.\n\nLikewise, a falsely reported crime can victimize a person wrongly accused of the crime, but we classify it as a crime against public justice. Society collectively benefits from a criminal justice system informed primarily by honest participants. Offenses against the function of the legal system can thwart its efficient operation.\n\nYet, protectiveness toward the legal system can be a reason police or prosecutors might forego leniency in alleged offenses against public justice, or even neglect to carefully review alleged facts in view of particular elements of an offense. When they perceive Oklahoma process crimes, they might reflexively defend their turf rather than test their perception.\n\nThat is why a criminal defense attorney considers whether alleged acts would satisfy necessary elements of a charge. A defense attorney also considers whether a criminal conviction based on the alleged acts would be constitutional – such as the case of a Houston man whose Texas obstruction charges were overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court because telling officers to “pick on someone my size” is constitutionally protected free speech.\n\nOf course, a defense strategy often involves disputing whether the alleged acts actually occurred. Police might try leverage public justice charges, such as accessory to a felony or conspiracy, in attempts to pry information from someone only remotely connected to a suspect in separate offense, even if there is no good reason for the charge.\n\nOffenses against public justice often occur in the midst of other potentially criminal activities and justice system processes. Some such offenses become the hinge on which revolving door justice turns, such as charges for failure to pay court costs or failure to appear. In these cases, it is important to identify reasons a person did not appear or pay costs. Where persuasive, these reasons can be presented to a court in plea for just consideration.\n\nWhen you are charged with a crime against public justice, it will not likely be an average Jane or Joe who was victimized and is clamoring for prosecution. It will more likely be police or prosecutors who know the system and know how to work it to their advantage. They usually have no compelling reason to dismiss charges until a Tulsa criminal lawyers demonstrate how and why the charges are flawed. In Oklahoma, process crimes are charges best addressed by a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney.\n\nFor a free consultation with a criminal defense lawyer in Tulsa, call Wirth Law Office at 918-879-1681 or send your question via the form at the top of this Web page."

"Over the years Specialized and McLaren have developed a unique relationship built upon a foundation of collaborative technical progress and a dedication to creating unrivaled bikes and equipment. The all new S-Works McLaren Tarmac builds on that tradition of excellence creating the most exclusive and technically advanced bike Specialized has ever released. Limited to only 250 worldwide, it’s the next benchmark in complete performance.\n\nStarting with the S-Works McLaren Venge followed by the S-Works McLaren TT helmet, Specialized and McLaren have worked closely over the years to push the possibilities of cycling into new and exciting directions. Recently, the partnership resulted in a completely new way to understand the forces exerted on bicycles via a custom data acquisition and simulation program developed exclusively with McLaren. The partnership between the two has always been one rooted in collaboration and a desire to push the envelope. On the heels of the launch of the all new S-Works Tarmac featuring Rider-First Engineered technology, the S-Works McLaren Tarmac takes the technical and performance standards to the next level.",

"Designers from McLaren and Specialized took the S-Works Tarmac and started the process of trying to extract even more performance out of an already impressive machine. Joe Marsh, Composite Design Engineer, from McLaren Applied Technologies Limited was instrumental in the development of the exclusive frame.\n\n“Our design benchmark, the new S-Works Tarmac, was already a very, very efficient structure to start with and in some ways this was a much tougher challenge than the Venge we worked on,” said Marsh.\n\nThe S-Works McLaren Tarmac maintains all of the outstanding performance characteristics of the standard S-Works Tarmac via Rider-First Engineered design while reducing the weight of the overall frame and fork by between 9%-11% depending on frame size. Thanks to a proprietary carbon layup process developed exclusively with McLaren, the weight savings come at zero cost to the overall performance of the bike itself – not often an easy task to accomplish.\n\nMore than just strictly a frame and fork, the S-Works McLaren Tarmac is a complete collection of cohesive parts and equipment that add up to one incredibly unique, and exclusive performance package. Every single Specialized piece of equipment on the bike has been designed specifically for this project and was engineered for complete performance. Included with the bike is a Body Geometry Fit consultation to ensure the proper sized frame is selected. In addition to frame size, a range of component sizes are selected to best fit the customer including handlebar and saddle width, stem length and crank size. Exclusive to the S-Works McLaren Tarmac is a custom sized pair of S-Works Road Shoes as well as a S-Works Prevail helmet, both color matched to the bike.\n\nWhat sets the S-Works McLaren Tarmac apart from anything else on the road is not just the extreme attention to detail, but also the high level of complete performance. It’s a complete and cohesive package that encompasses every aspect of road bike performance. That dedication to performance is one of the key drivers in the project.\n\nBrad Paquin, Senior Engineer at Specialized explained that drive, “There is a competitiveness of all racers regardless of discipline to have the best tools to do their jobs. It doesn’t matter if it’s the latest aerodynamic upgrade on an F1 car, or the highest performance bike frame.”\n\nAdhering to that ethos, no part was overlooked in the design development. From the exclusive CLX40R tubular wheelset that saves over 90 grams compared to a standard set of CLX 40 wheels, to the custom paintwork and graphic applique applied at McLaren Special Operations in Woking, Surrey UK – no aspect has gone untouched.\n\nWith only 250 S-Works McLaren Tarmacs available worldwide, this incredibly limited production run will have an exclusive reservation process extended to invited customers and via www.specialized.com/sworksmclaren. Starting July 2(, )2014, customers will be able to sign up for their very own, personalized S-Works McLaren Tarmac with the reservation process closing July 31(, )2014 or while availability lasts. Included in the final product is a personalized name plate and wall mount plaque for displaying the bike, shoes and helmet.\n\nFrom the ground up, the S-Works McLaren Tarmac is a practice in pure performance innovation. It is a perfect marriage between the technical acumen of McLaren and the engineering prowess of Specialized. Incredibly exclusive and carefully curated, it is a bike that looks just as stunning displayed on a wall as it does carving through descents."

"NYPD officers in certain encounters must identify themselves and inform the public they can deny a search when there isn't probable cause.\nKayla Simas\nAM New York\nView the original piece",
null,
"Public officials and police reform advocates pledged to hold the NYPD accountable for their encounters with the public as new legislation goes into effect Friday.\n\nHolding signs and banners reading \"I do not consent to this search,\" activists rallied on the steps of City Hall to celebrate the implementation of the Right to Know Act. The legislation has two components: a requirement for officers (in certain instances) to identify themselves when approaching the public, and a mandate to inform a person of their right to refuse to consent to a search when the officer doesn't have probable cause.\n\n“Tomorrow, the Right to Know Act will be a reality. You will know who’s stopping you, and why, and if searched without rights, you can deny it,” said Councilman Antonio Reynoso, who was joined by colleagues including Jumaane Williams, Brad Lander and Carlos Menchaca. “This is a celebration, but at the same time we must make sure the NYPD knows we are not sleeping at the wheel. We will hold them accountable.”\n\nMichael Sisitzky, the policy counsel at the New York Civil Liberties Union, described the act as a direct response to police abuses.\n\n“Too many times officers are poking holes in the Fourth Amendment,” Sisitzky said. “Instead of telling people to open their bags, and demanding it, now they must ask individuals to open their bags, and we have the right to say no. This has always been the law, though. But, the way it was been written has been misleading for many.”\n\n“We have the Fifth Amendment, which is the right to not speak,” Kallos said. “Use it. Use the Right to Know Act. You can say no to being searched.”\n\nThe Right to Know Act passed the City Council last December as a compromise bill that disappointed some reform advocates by limiting the type of encounters that would require police officers to identify themselves. Cops only are required to offer their identity (along with a business card) when encountering a member of the public who they suspect is involved with criminal activity, but not necessarily when merely questioning a bystander on the street."

You’ve written one of the most fascinating, enlightening books I’ve read for such a long time …’ ‘[The book] was close to ‘can’t put down’ category for me – as it was for our daughter, who’s not a regular bookworm!!’ Letters from Mr Frank Warrick, newsreader, Seven Nightly News, TV Channel 7, Brisbane, 4 March and 5 May 1994.\n\n‘[The book] is one of the most accurate accounts of our early history.’ ‘Chris Pearce skilfully contrasts the life of the Moreton Bay Aborigines with that of the white society of the day.’ ‘I take pleasure in recommending this book to anyone interested in Australian history and things Australian.’ Letter from Brisbane Lord Mayor Jim Soorley, 15 November 1993, who launched the book at City Hall.\n\n‘Congratulations on a fine production.’ ‘I enjoyed the whole story very much, particularly the Moreton Bay section …’ ‘… the choice of illustrations was excellent.’ Letter from Ms Kathleen Hamey, the Balmain Association, Sydney, 14 January 1994.\n\nWhere to obtain a copy of the ebook\n\nSummary of the book\n\nThe Great Daylight Saving Time Controversy is the encyclopedia or bible of DST. It includes the origins of daylight saving time and the history of the scheme in every country that has ever used it, plus each state of the United States, Australia and Brazil and each Canadian province. Read about the battles between supporters and opponents, the efforts of daylight saving time champions, the chaotic situations that emerged particularly in the US and Canada, and all the pros and cons of the measure.\n\nHere’s where to obtain a copy of the book:\n\nOr check out these articles:",

"Here’s an excerpt from my ebook on daylight saving time, The Great Daylight Saving Time Controversy. The excerpt shows how a potential terrorist incident was thwarted due to daylight saving time. It’s looking at DST in Israel, in the chapter on Asia. The book can be obtained from Amazon, Kobo, iTunes and Google.\n\n“Daylight saving in Israel has been surrounded by controversy. The area known as the British Mandate for Palestine had continuous daylight saving from 1940 to 1942 and then each year from 1943 to 1946. Part of that region became Israel on 14 May 1948 and nine days later it put its clocks on two hours to conserve energy as it fought with Arab armies from the second day of its existence. Neighbours Jordan, which took the West Bank, and Egypt, which occupied Gaza, didn’t use daylight saving. Israel finished daylight saving after 1957 but used it again in 1974 and 1975 following the global energy crisis caused by the Yom Kippur War.\n\nIsrael has had summer time each year since 1985, but in the following year the interior minister, Yitzhak Peretz, who was opposed to daylight saving, wouldn’t sign the annual order. Ultra-Orthodox rabbis such as Peretz feared that daylight saving would mean poor attendance at morning prayers and that shops and other establishments would open before sundown on Saturday, desecrating the Sabbath. There was public uproar over his non-signing that included a demonstration outside his house and a legal battle that nearly got to the High Court. The communications minister, Amnon Rubenstein, said his department would use daylight saving in any case. Energy minister Moshe Shahal stated that the scheme saved Israel up to US$6 million a year in energy and reduced traffic fatalities. In a fiery Cabinet meeting on 20 April 1986, Peretz yelled at Shahal, a supporter of daylight saving: “You have been shedding my blood! You have been organizing a public lynch campaign against me! I would not be surprised if what you have done will lead to attempts on my life!”[1] Cabinet voted 11 to 6 to continue with daylight saving.\n\nThe start and end dates of the summer time period were the subject of much contention over many years. Most of the secular population preferred daylight saving to extend as long as possible, whereas most religious people didn’t want it to start until after Passover and wanted it finished before Yom Kippur. Dates for each of these events can vary by a month or so, which means the daylight saving span could be quite different from year to year. This made it difficult for trade, computer systems, and society in general. Economists estimated that Israel would save US$80 million a year by standardising its calendar.\n\nIn 2013, after plenty of haggling, disagreements and compromises over the decades, Israel set its daylight saving period as the Friday before the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October to align closely with Europe. The move hasn’t stopped the opponents of daylight saving, with member Yifat Kariv introducing a bill in October 2014 to cancel the measure. The interior ministry estimated in 2015 that summer time saved the Israeli economy NIS 300 million or US$75 million a year. The ministry also believed that people’s physical and mental health was improved and road safety was better.\n\nConfusion still reigns over daylight saving times in the region as the Palestinian National Authority, formed in 1994, has set different start and finish dates to Israel. On one occasion, the disparity was a blessing. In September 1999, four young Israeli Arabs received two packages of explosives set by Palestinian bomb makers to blow up on 5 September at 6:30 p.m. Two of the men drove a car with one of the devices to Haifa and the other pair with the second package in another car to Tiberias. One man from each team was to board a bus from each city to Jerusalem with the bomb package to go off during the trip, but to disembark part way and rejoin their accomplice in the car, leaving the bag on the bus. The first pair had parked their car, and one man had got out, while the other two were still driving to their initial destination when the bombs exploded, at 5:30 p.m., killing three of the terrorists. They had been operating on Israeli time, which had gone back an hour after daylight saving finished on 3 September, but the bomb makers had used Palestinian time, which was still an hour ahead until 15 October. The lives of perhaps several dozen innocent passengers on two buses were spared.”",

"Why do we call a free-spirited artistic type a bohemian?\n\nYou might know that Bohemia was a medieval Central-European kingdom, and is now a region comprising most of the western Czech Republic. Bohémien had been used in French since the 15th century to mean gypsy, because the Roma (or Romani/Romany) people were mistakenly believed to have come from Bohemia. This people were originally from the northern Indian subcontinent, but spread around Europe, without settling in one particular region.\n\nWhich is basically the whole idea behind being a gypsy really, and as the Roma were the most visible and biggest itinerant group in Europe, Roma quickly became synonymous with gypsy, as did Bohemian, once the mistaken belief about their origin spread.\n\nThe word Romani has nothing to do with Latin at all, despite the fact the Latin for Romans is, coincidentally, Romani. The word actually comes from the Romani word rom, meaning man.\n\nAnd just as the term has nothing to do with Latin, it also has nothing to do with Romania, whose name is derived from the Latin romanus, meaning citizen of Rome. This is more than likely because the region that includes present-day Romania was a part of the Roman Empire, and the association with Rome stuck. And of course, Romanian is a Romance language.\n\nThis hasn’t stopped people assuming that the Roma people are from Romania, and like the belief that they were from Bohemia, people will probably continue to make that assumption for some time. Not that the assumption is completely incomprehensible after all: the words are pretty similar.\n\nSo the word bohemian refers to people who have a liberty reminiscent of romantic (hard to avoid, isn’t it) notions of gypsy life, because 500 years ago people mistakenly believed that gypsies came from Bohemia. That’s of course just how languages evolve. Sometimes it even comes about because of very specific mistakes which never get corrected. The odd paths words take on their way to entering common usage aren’t always so unusual, but they’re certainly never straightforward."

"Errors and small clues left behind by attackers are vital in attribution, providing valuable intelligence on the people behind a cyber espionage attack and the possible connections between them, Kaspersky Lab's researchers revealed, who have been tracking advanced cyber espionage operations originating in and targeting Asia Pacific countries for the last 10 years.\n\nKaspersky Lab also published a report on Naikon APT in 2015. This cyber espionage campaign has been tracking geo-political intelligence in countries around the South China Sea for over half a decade, Later that year, an alleged connection discovered by ThreatConnect researchers showed a domain name used in Naikon APT, was also found across several social media accounts. These social media accounts carried more than 700 posts and 500 photos which enabled researchers to track down an official's real location and work address.\n\nCareless mistakes and clues left behind by individuals involved in cyber espionage can reveal details of any military connections, organisations engaged in undercover threat activity for State Security, private companies offering intelligent service, or cyber espionage campaigns that consist of a variety of people with different skilled roles and responsibilities.\n\n\"Cyber security researchers examine cyber espionage campaigns by chasing trails of clues and careless mistakes. Once we have all the necessary pieces of the puzzle, we share evidences with fellow experts to be able to know the spies behind an attack, their main objectives and techniques, All the historic information gathered through investigating targeted attacks, helps us discover the truths and the myths of cyberespionage in the Asia Pacific region,\" said Noushin Shabab, a Senior Security Researcher.\n\n\"As cyberespionage and crime increases, it's critical for organisations and experts to share cutting-edge knowledge'. We continue to witness the development of many attacks with no regard for the social or financial impact. The fact is, cyber spies will continue to take advantage of social engineering and open source data to develop sophisticated attacks. Investment in prompt and detailed information will better defend our businesses and ensure we can detect and respond to attacks. Kaspersky Lab's Anti Targeted Attack Platform defends businesses from a multitude of threats every single time, no matter what form the attack takes,\" added Anastasia Para Rae, General Manager ANZ."

"Android One redux: With Android Go Google takes another shot at budget markets",
null,
"Google's much touted Android One program launched back in 2014 in India hasn't tasted much success. Google isn't giving up though. At the 2017 edition of Google I/O. the company made many announcements that ranged from the next version of its Android operating system to Google Lens. For those in developing countries, there was one major announcement - Android Go. Google is once again attempting to make budget Android phones for developing markets great again.\n\nWhen Google launched Android One launched in June of 2014, they were mainly targeting \"the next billion,\" and promising a uniformly 'decent' experience on low-end Android-powered devices. This coincided with Android Kitkat. Now, Android has launched Android O and with it, thy are trying to revolutionise low-end smartphones once again. With 2 billion Android devices in use around the world, Google is targeting the next two billion consumers.\n\nThink of it as being as far away from a Google Pixel as possible. While Android One was the reference platform for other device makers, Android Go is a platform. It's a lighter version of Android O that aims to bring a smooth experience to low-cost phones. Specifically, those phones with just 512MB or 1GB of RAM.\n\nAndroid One was designed to put the latest iteration of Android on devices costing $100 or less. In a market like India, it failed, mainly because manufacturers couldn't make any money just by selling the hardware. Whilst there was no announcement of Android One at Google I/O, Sameer Samat, a Google executive, said that the program will continue albeit by dropping the $100 price point.\n\nThere will be a data management tool included in the quick settings. This will show the user exactly how much data they have left and will offer them the option to top up with the carrier straight from there. An optimised version of Chrome will also be present in which Google's existing 'data-saver feature' will be turned on by default.\n\nIt'll probably look a lot like the recently launched Moto C budget phones. Apps will be optimised for low memory and bandwidth and a version of the Google Play Store highlighting these apps will come with it. “Building for Billions” (https://developers.google.com/billions/) has also been launched for developers to create these new optimised apps. Google's Building For Billions website recommends developers pay attention to a few things; app size, performance on slow connections, localisation and battery efficiency.\n\nA few months ago, we got a glimpse of the first one, YouTube Go. YouTube Go will give you the option to select the quality of the video before the video begins and once on Wi-Fi, you can download the video and watch it later. If you're watching a video with a friend, you can share that video between Android Go devices using peer-to-peer transfers without having to eat up any data.\n\nAndroid Go will not just start and stop with Android O. There will be Android Go for all future versions of Android going forward.\n\nThe push towards better low-cost phones is a necessity as there are more Android users in India and Brazil than in the USA. In India, the high cost of mobile data is a barrier to entry for consumers planning on buying smartphones. The main reason to launch Android Go is to address the problem of low-end devices not getting frequent security and feature updates, The first phones featuring Android Go will appear in 2018.\n\nEveryone in india is hoping that Android Go doesn't go the way of Android One. Android Go is a first-time smartphone users dream - latest version of Android costing very little and smoothly operating apps. The hope is that manufacturers get on board and adhere to the core of what Android Go is. Devices should be released regularly and not for an inflated price and updates should be timely. Google needs to convince these manufacturers to create near stock versions of Android and if it does, the next two billion smartphones might just be Android users."

"What Happened? Still most famous for taking on the exalted mantle of Captain James T. Kirk in the big screen reboot of Star Trek and its sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, Chris Pine actually had a shot at anchoring another major sci-fi blockbuster. And though his wasn’t exactly a close casting call for the role of compromised hero, Jake Sully, in James Cameron’s Avatar (a role eventually played, of course, by Sam Worthington), the then-little-known Pine (his biggest claim to fame was playing the romantic interest in the Lindsay Lohan vehicle, Just My Luck) at least had a chance at making the role his.\n\n“I have a feeling that story will haunt me for the rest of my life,” the actor told Red Eye Chicago of his Avatar audition. “It’s one of those things – sometimes you can leave your car in Burbank, Los Angeles and walk into a conference room and your back is sweating and you’re thinking about the laundry that you have to do and somehow seamlessly you can then pretend to be a man in a loincloth standing in front of blue people saying lines like, ‘Come follow me! I’ll save you!’ And sometimes you just can’t buy it. I walked into that room absolutely not believing myself. How dare I put that poor casting director through the experience of watching me? Halfway through, I just stopped; she was maybe smiling or laughing at me. I didn’t take offence to it because I was pretty bad. I shook hands with her, and out I walked.”\n\nAnd despite the fact that he still believes that his next audition was just as bad (“It was all this jargon talk of torpedoes and photons”), Chris Pine actually walked right into the other big sci-fi flick of 2009: J.J Abrams’ Star Trek.\n\nWould It Have Worked? Sure, why not? Avatar wasn’t exactly about the actors, was it?",

"Tottenham based charity Haringey Shed specialise in inclusive theatre for children and young people aged seven to 25. Established in 2000, they are well embedded within the Tottenham and Haringey community. We spoke to their Company and Volunteer Manager, Ashling Foat, to find out what they’re about and what they’ve been up to.\n\nHaringey Shed were born out of a project that an inclusive theatre company, Chicken Shed, ran in Northumberland Park School. They developed the concept that a disabled actor should have the same opportunities, and should be part of the same cast, as a non disabled actor.\n\nIf they are working on a large scale project, they hire a bigger performance space like the Haringey Sixth Form Centre, where they ran their summer programme, or the Bernie Grant Arts Centre. ‘We try to provide professional performing arts opportunities to young people. It’s very important to, if we can, hire a theatre which has a box office, and gives the young people backstage dressing rooms and separation from the audience. It’s really important to us that they feel professional and that their work is really valued.’\n\nAshling, who initially joined the team as a volunteer in 2010, works alongside two other full time members of staff: Eddie Latter, the Artistic Director, and Jim Shepley, the Executive Director. As well as this, Haringey Shed often bring in freelancers and session workers for specific projects and activities. They also work with over 100 volunteers each year. ‘Our volunteers start at age 13 and we’d consider a volunteer up to age 25. We also have a vulnerable adults and a supported volunteering programme which means adults with disabilities can also come in and work with us.’\n\n‘What I really love is Haringey Shed is sandwiched completely by volunteers. They’re the core of what we do and we couldn’t exist without them… Everyone has a part to play, we’re all helping each other and no one’s owed anything.’",
null,
"Haringey Shed run after school clubs and holiday programmes and activities. Two key projects are the youth theatre and the children’s theatre which also form part of their summer programme. During term time, their programme runs for four nights a week and they offer a range of activities including the youth and children’s theatre groups, singing, acting, dancing and music making. They also have an older performance group, 1419, who work on more challenging techniques and subjects.\n\nOther activities have included fun days out and accredited arts award training for the young people. They also recently finished a year long programme with West Green Primary School. ‘The school needed their young people to be more vocal, using language and communication, so they partnered up with us.’ They ran weekly sessions and each year group put on a show exploring a key subject.\n\nHaringey Shed also took part in a project with Levi’s and Skepta at the Selby Centre last year. ‘We were lucky to be the local partner. Our job was to find the local young artists, recruit them and then support them in attending the programme. There was a studio kitted out completely by Levi’s and Skepta was the artist. Over twelve weeks, twelve young musicians were tutored, coached and developed. At the end of the 12 weeks, they performed at the V&A which was just amazing.’ The recording studio, that was set up in the Selby Centre, will be there and available for use until the end of the year.",

"Haringey Shed took some of the young people on a summer weekend away as part of their Residental programme. The trip was fully funded and very popular with the young people. ‘They get out of London and use the tube and the train. They need to pack their own clothes and manage their own diets which gives them some independence. We get them out into the countryside. Lots of the young people wouldn’t get away at all in the summer otherwise.’\n\nTwo of their biggest performances this year were The Dividing Line, a big theatre production that was performed at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in April, and Boxed In, which was written and performed by their 1419 group and utilised the studio space at the Irish Centre. ‘The Dividing Line was our first two act show. It was very script heavy, which involved a lot of memorising… we challenged the young people to tell a complex story, full of different locations, with the narrative going to different places.’\n\nThe youth theatre are currently working towards their next main production which will be shown in April 2018. This December they are putting on an event called Shed Jam, an open mic night led by the young people and headlined by their own band.\n\nTo help raise funds to support their projects and activities, Haringey Shed created the 100 Challenge Club which began in May this year and will run until May 2018. Their aim is to raise £100,000 through 100 sponsored challenges throughout the year. Some of the activities have included fun runs, marathons, bike rides and a sky dive.\n\nWe asked Ashling what it was like to work in the heart Tottenham. ‘Tottenham is very unique and the young people that are here are very proud of Tottenham and very connected to Tottenham. I think what’s so special about the area is it’s really mixed so you’ve got people from all different backgrounds. I know there’s mixed feelings about regeneration, and there’s mixed feelings about being different to the other side of the borough. I always think that we’re in this area for a reason and we aim to respond to the young people and help raise their aspirations. There’s a lot of young talent in Tottenham and the right opportunities need to be created.’\n\nAshling sums up: ‘Haringey Shed gives young people a safe space and a regular place to go. It gives them somewhere different to school and home where they may be typecast or put down. We give them an opportunity to be whoever they want to be. We’re not going to turn them away for being who they are. It’s really important that we give young people the opportunities to feel empowered and creative. To try something that they might not have the opportunity to do otherwise.’\n\n#Repost @ten87studios ・・・ Thank you to @discovtottenham for their article about our journey so far.

"According to the first global report on epilepsy from the UN World Health Organization (WHO), this treatment gap exists even though medicines can cost as little as $5 per year, per patient. In addition to a lack of available medicines to treat sufferers, many poor countries have far too few specialist medical professionals to help. More than seven in 10 people with epilepsy in developing countries are not getting the low-cost care they need, and UN health experts said last month this could lead to a “significantly higher” risk of death among sufferers than in industrialized nations.\n\nIn some countries, there is only one specialist neurosurgeon per million inhabitants, hence the push for treatment to be delivered through community health centres, said Dr. Tarun Dua, from WHO’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse.\n\n“The treatment gap for epilepsy is unacceptably high”, she said, amid evidence that almost a quarter of epilepsy cases are preventable. “We know that 70 per cent of people with the condition can be seizure-free when they have access to medicines that … can be delivered through primary health systems.”\n\nEpilepsy affects nearly 50 million people around the world – 80 per cent live in low and middle-income countries - and is caused by childbirth trauma, brain infection or injury and stroke. Because of abnormal electrical activity in the brain, sufferers can experience seizures or unusual behaviour, sensations and sometimes loss of consciousness.\n\nAmong the many misconceptions surrounding the disease is the mistaken belief that it is contagious, which partly explains why many sufferers are shunned and why they have a “feeling of disgrace”, Dr. Dua said. This stigma is present in all countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Switzerland, she noted. “I call epilepsy a neglected disease because no-one wants to talk about it,” Dr. Dua insisted, despite the fact that it is one of the most common neurological diseases, affecting one in 200 people.\n\nIn the workplace, it means that when someone has an epileptic attack, “suddenly there is a crisis and you don’t know what to do about it”, the WHO official cautioned, while also dismissing the erroneous belief that “if you play with a child with epilepsy, your child will get epilepsy”, or that sufferers are insane. In low and middle-income countries, the WHO report – produced with non-governmental organizations including the International League Against Epilepsy and the International Bureau for Epilepsy – states that in addition to shortages of medicine, sufferers die prematurely because of lack of access to professional care following seizures, as well as other preventable causes, such as drowning, head injuries and burns.\n\nAccording to WHO, people who are fitting should not be restrained and nothing should be put in their mouths; instead, a hand should be placed on them gently to offer reassurance and their airways should be kept clear until the episode is over and they gain consciousness.\n\nMental health problems affect one in five people with condition\n\nRoughly half of adults with epilepsy have at least one other health condition, the report explains, the most common of these being depression and anxiety. Some 23 per cent of adults with epilepsy will experience clinical depression during their lifetime and 20 per cent will have anxiety, it says. “Mental health conditions such as these can make seizures worse and reduce quality of life,” according to WHO, which added that development and learning difficulties are also experienced by up to four in 10 children with the condition."

"After the 1984 release of his autobiography, The Quasar Of Rock And Roll, Little Richard decided to come out of retirement. It had been seven years since his last record, the gospel-focused God's Beautiful City, and over a decade from his 1970s return album run on the Reprise label (The Rill Thing, King Of Rock And Roll, and The Second Coming, plus the one that Reprise shelved at the time, Southern Child). For the new album, Richard went overseas to record in London with a powerhouse band including Billy Preston, Muscle Shoals guitarist Travis Wammack, bassist Jesse Boyce, and drummer James Stroud with producer Stuart Colman at the helm. Warner Bros., unleashed Lifetime Friend in 1986. With ten tracks of rock 'n' roll mixed with spiritual lyrics (and even an early rap appearance), the release was another return to form. His third coming, one could say. The album's blistering opener \"Great Gosh A'Mighty\" (co-written with Billy Preston) would even be recut by Richard for the film Down And Out In Beverly Hills, nearly cracking the Top 40. Two other tracks, \"Operator\" and \"Somebody's Comin',\" would make chart appearances in the UK."

"Unsolicited Ramblings on How Kingdoms of Amalur Has Aged\n\nIn the past few months I've been periodically popping back in to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning between other games. I originally played it when it first came out and enjoyed it a lot at the time, but as time went on I started looking back on it thinking that it might not be possible to have that experience again. So much has happened in the world of RPGs since then, particularly action RPGs, and I wondered if KoA could stand up in comparison. When I first started playing it on this run I was pleasantly surprised at how good the combat still felt, but I have to admit my enthusiasm for it fizzled out before long. After a strong start I’ve only been checking in briefly every so often when I’m stumped for anything else to play. I’ve got to a point of playing it so infrequently that I recently played through all of The Witcher 2 between the last time I played this game and today. I think my fears about how it may have aged turned out to be true, outside of the base feel of the combat at least. That's still cool, but everything else around it feels like it has been outdone several times over by now.",

"The story isn't really interesting in any meaningful way. The lore and setting is very run of the mill and unoriginal, which is kind of odd considering how much effort they allegedly put in to developing that with this game. I remember that being a pretty large part of the marketing, with how they got several famous fantasy writers together to write millennia of history for this world. Yet in the game itself, all of the characters are really bland, and it would even be a stretch to call them \"one note\", since that would require the characters actually have one thing distinguishing about them. Instead they have pretty much zero personality and only ever talk about the plot, or at most their role within the hierarchy they inhabit. They're all pretty emotionless. And the overarching plot that they're so concerned with is very standard fare and unsurprising. Ending a war where the bad guy is using some arcane forbidden magic that only you as the chosen one with the power to change fate can stop. There is perhaps some potential there to explore questions about free will, but instead the game basically uses it to just repeatedly pull the same plot point of \"X event was supposed to go badly, but it didn't because you were there\", and as a reason to let you change your character class whenever you want. As if the hero saving the day is somehow subversive in any way.\n\nThe world also lacks atmosphere, unfortunately. Although this one is a bit more frustratingly close to being good. Despite the graphical fidelity being pretty aged these days, the art design in the areas nearer the start of the game is still pretty solid. You start off with lots of lush forests full of verdant and exotic plant life, with a sprinkling magical effects to bring it to life. Then later on you move out on to some open grassy plains that manage to create a feeling of serene expansiveness, dotted with dramatic geological structures to break things up and give the landscape a sense of personality. But after that you start moving in to more barren rocky areas, and it doesn't hold up well. There isn't much detail to the terrain, and it doesn't feel like it has much character. Just a lot of red rock with so little detail to it that it's hard not to see it as a haphazard arrangement of polygons and textures. And from what I remember of the later areas of the game, that only gets worse, with the red rock giving way to drab grey.\n\nBut the thing that really lets down the sense of atmosphere is the sound design. Even in the areas which look nice, there is pretty much no background soundscape. It makes it really hard to feel like it's a real place when everywhere you go feels like it's just an image. Like your character isn't really there, their footsteps silent, with no ambient noises going on. This extends to the soundtrack as well, which is perhaps the most frustrating part of it, because it's actually excellent (composed by Grant Kirkhope no less) but you hardly ever hear it. You only hear the ambient mood pieces for the first few minutes after entering a zone, and only sometimes. It highlights the transition to absolute silence pretty starkly as well. While music does always play during combat, it's easily the least evocative part of the soundtrack. But they could have maybe got away with a lack of ambient sound effects if they just used the music the game already has a bit more frequently.\n\nAlthough this point about ambient sound effects feeds in to something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I've noticed that one of the best things a game can do to give itself a sense of atmosphere, that is rarely taken advantage of, is to make an effort to portray wind. Rime, which I am also currently replaying, does this fairly well, depending on the level you're in. As does The Witcher 3, which is something I was vividly reminded of lately, as I felt compelled to return after playing through its predecessor. Not that I haven't noticed it before, but it really struck me again playing it recently. How rich the atmosphere of that game is, and how much of it comes from a sense of the howling wind, as Geralt would put it. On top of that, it's also always been something I really appreciate in Dragon's Dogma, which happens to be a game I was weighing up against The Witcher 2 before I decided on that. Dragon’s Dogma is a pretty sparse looking game, that was even a bit rough for the time it came out. Yet having the game be set in a windswept coastal area, and really trying hard to sell that visually and audibly, helped make up for those shortcomings and gave it a really rich sense of place. Seeing trees bend against the wind, swaying back and forth with each gust; dust being kicked up in to the air, and attention being given to the sound of it all. It plants that sense in your mind of what it would feel like to stand there in that world that works so much better than just the static physical appearance of the game world on its own.\n\nBut back to Amalur. I've got some misgivings about the gameplay too, despite that being easily the best part of this game. I still enjoy the combat, but I'm having a bit of a tough time trying to branch out a bit on this playthrough. I wanted to make a concerted effort to not go for the same weapon types as I did when playing this originally. With how good the combat does feel, and how long you're going to be doing that in this game, I felt like trying out something different, instead of falling back on my usual style of variously sized swords. The problem is that everything I tried turns out to be not that great after all. The faeblades, which are exotic double-bladed dagger things, are far too slow, and have a somewhat floaty feel to them. They're supposed to be the second fastest weapons after normal daggers, yet the wind-up for a lot of their attacks feels agonisingly long, leaving you open for far too long. And the payoff isn't worth it either, as they have pretty awful DPS.\n\nI also tried the normal daggers, and while they feel more quick and responsive, the damage on them is also pretty lacking. But the thing that really killed them for me is that they have this one attack that I found to be pretty painful to look at. It's a move where you dash through an enemy several times at lightning speed, but for some reason the game decides to flash up a single white frame on the moment you hit them. I don't tend find visual effects for combat in games distracting, but that one I just felt physically uncomfortable to look at, to the point where I couldn't take it more than a few times in a row. It doesn't even look interesting. It doesn't have any sense of style to it, it's just flashing the screen blank white. You can see it at about the 1:10 mark in this video below. It feels really artificial and unnecessary.\n\nAside from all that, there's also the issue of just how long it takes to unlock new moves. There is a reasonable variety of actions you can do in combat, but it takes forever to flesh things out. If they were to make a sequel to this game (which might actually be possible these days thanks to THQ buying the rights to release new games in this IP) they should instead start you off with at least half of the stuff you can do in this game, maybe more, and finish with much more. It doesn't need to be Devil May Cry or anything, but for the length this game is, and how much of it is you smacking around enemies, it needs more. It wears itself pretty thin.\n\nI don’t have much of a neat conclusion to draw from all of this. This is mostly the result of just the thoughts that have been floating around in my head while playing. I highly doubt I’ll complete the game on this run, although I was never really intending to do so when I first started it. I just wanted to take a trip down memory lane, curious to see how this game held up. It turned out more or less how I was expecting, although I was a little surprised at how well a couple of things did turn out, in the combat feel and some of the early environment design. But even then, they have problems, and the writing is even more bland than I was expecting it to be too."

"Canberra renters are missing out on approximately $39 million of energy efficiency benefits per year according to a new report released on Monday.\n\nBetter Renting’s Frozen out: The Burden of Energy Deficiency on People who Rent found rentals with an energy efficiency rating less than five are missing out on significant cost savings.\n\nJackie Bysouth, a mother of four, knows the challenges of living in a rental house with a low EER.\n\nThe 47-year-old said her rental house, with no carpets, has been a trial for the family.\n\n“Even though we keep the heater on all the time, have ceiling insulation and put draught stoppers on the windows and door, the house is still freezing,” she said.\n\n“The owner promised to install underfloor insulation nine months ago, but has not yet delivered on this.\n\n“I have rented my whole life, but the last seven years that I have spent in Canberra have been the coldest of my life.”\n\nThe report analysed 11,941 rental transactions from January 2011 to December 2016 in the ACT which was then generalised to the entire rental housing stock from the 2016 Census.\n\nBetter Renting estimates approximately 24,000 out of 45,300 rental properties in the ACT have an EER less than five.\n\nBetter Renting director Joel Dignam said renters are “being frozen out of the benefits of energy efficiency”.\n\n“Renters in energy deficient homes must choose between spending more to be as warm was people in higher-rated homes, or enduring dangerous indoor temperatures through winter,” he said.\n\n“For some renters, the cost of energy deficiency is monetary but others, especially older renters or people with disabilities, are paying with their physical and mental health.”\n\nWith electricity prices set to increase by more than 14 per cent this financial year, Mr Dignam believes standards have to be applied to rental properties.\n\nThe current Parliamentary Agreement between Labor and the Greens stipulates improved energy efficiency for rental properties as a key priority.\n\nIn last month’s ACT Budget 2018-19, the government announced energy efficiency upgrades for public housing but did not introduce any such measures for rental properties.\n\nIn April, a spokesperson from the ACT Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate told Allhomes that introducing minimum energy efficiency standards may result in increased rents if landlords pass on the costs of the upgrades.\n\n“This research backs what tenant advocacy, environment, and business organisations have been calling for: all privately-rented housing in the ACT must have a minimum energy efficiency rating of five stars,” she said.\n\n“This can be balanced by funding for landlords to make energy efficiency upgrades [and] such a measure could be included as part of the ACT Climate Change Mitigation Adaptation Strategy.”",

"I have said this before: being raised abroad and then in the city made childhood visits to my maternal grandparents quite an adventure. My baby brother and I were treated like royalties and, apart from spoiling us a bit, it also made us feel extremely coddled. Each time the car doors slid open, we would rush into our grandmother’s arms. Then we would look over her shoulders to the well-governed agricultural surrounding and feel even giddier at the prospect of being exposed to so much nature. Not that the adults ever let us stray too far out of their sights. Not that we didn’t give escape a good try anyway and succeed.\n\nIts wooden frames had browned with age and become swollen in places. Most of the exterior walls of the structure had come loose so that we could easily glimpse into its innards through the gaps and see how vacant and lifeless the rooms were. When she moved around in the house – and she was the restless sort – the creaks could be heard all the way across her barren yard to the copse in which my cousins and I hid to watch her.\n\nShe was once a wealthy woman with a house full of children. She married into a society with which she apparently was never able to assimilate so she kept mostly to her self and family. She brought up her children with the same social aspirations so that they went abroad to study and did not return. Left alone and betrayed by the children she spent a lifetime serving, she only became a greater recluse with the years. The neighbors had tried many times to fix her roofs or repair the walls of her house (at least the outside ones so the winter wind could be kept out), but she refused to spend a paisa more than necessary for a house her children would inherit nor would she accept assistance complimentary.\n\nAll this, of course, was passed along to me by the biggest gossip among my cousins. And since I knew this cousin’s propensity to spin tall tales, I tried to corroborate the information with my grandma. My grandma told me it was all utter rubbish and that my cousins were taking the mickey out of me to prove my city naivete. But my grandma never did get around to tell me what was the truth about the old woman so perhaps if I cut all the corners of the story my cousin told me, I would be closer to the truth than not.\n\nTo be fair to the old woman, she was not a witch. I think. To be fair to my child self, the silhouette in the above image is exactly hers. Except, try to fill it in by making her hair white as moonlight and picture her swathed in a plain white cotton sari. Her skin was papery white and just as frail and translucent and sort of hung onto her bones as though it was not buffered by any flesh. And the image featured here is happier than her general disposition was ever known to be.\n\nThe only person who was ever allowed to cross the threshold of her yard was a young maid in her late teen. This maid never disclosed anything about her employer to any of the community. My cousin told me she was under a devil’s bind that she had signed with her blood and if she even as much as peeped about anything in the old woman’s household, she would die. I always wondered why the girl would even get herself into such a position – must have had her own grave secret.\n\nWe would see the girl flutter around in the yard with about a dozen geese that she would take great care to feed snails and other mollusks. The woman would tend to the four cows in the small barn herself, milking them to maintain her expenditures. Her barn and herd used be one of the biggest in the village in her better days and apparently she still had the means to grow the number of heads but chose not to. She was bent on destroying all sustainability of the ranch for her ungrateful children [also explained by my gossiping cousin]. My strongest memory of this woman is of her walking across the yard to chastise the maid for not feeding the ducks properly before lugging a bale of hay to the barn to feed the cows. Her progress may have been impeded by her slight stoop but neither her verve nor her temper had.\n\nThe only person to my personal knowledge to have received a smile, after her children’s dissertation, from this woman was my [then] baby brother. He was pretty cute, like a tiny brown elephant. Not because he was chubby by any standard but because he consumed so much milk and Ceralac, his bones were hella sturdy (even at the age of two he packed a punch to fell my adult uncles, I kid you not).\n\nSo one day when we were busy spying on the old woman from our copse, we find that my brother had somehow managed to follow us to the ranch and got into the yard. Finding the ducks roaming idly inside their fenced area, my brother had rushed over. He had never seen ducks before. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life to see him appear there. I tried to rush to his rescue before he was discovered but my cousin held me back. We would get into more trouble than a baby. I would say what transpired thereafter is pretty legendary.\n\nMy brother beat his palm against the metal fence and gurgled his cries to grab the attention of these new creatures that he obviously wanted to befriend. Failing there he found rocks to throw at the ducks, which only bounced back at him. Then he found stray stems of jute (commonly used to fire earthen stoves in the area) and poked it through the diamond openings to immediate success. The ducks quacked in protest to my brother’s sheer delight. What new music was this? He poked, they quacked, he danced. He poked, they quacked, he danced. Until the old woman was upon him.\n\nWe were so entertained by my brother’s antics, no one noticed her approach until she was standing next to him. Seeing the new arrival did not daunt my brother’s spirit in the least. He paused only for a moment before resuming to play with the ducks [I doubt though the ducks thought it play]. My brother’s purpose was now to befriend this stranger and the way to do that was to dance. Then having demonstrated his talent, he offered the stick to the woman, pointing to the ducks. She should join him.\n\nThe woman took the stick from him and I was about to burst out of hiding to save my brother from a beating that was surely coming when she smiled instead. She smiled her toothless smile and my brother imitated her, followed by peels of giggles and ecstatic clapping. The woman also poked the birds and he danced. She was as delighted with my brother as he was with his new friends.\n\nBut miracles have their expirations too. Eventually, the woman called her maid to take my brother back to my grandma’s house. The girl was told to take special care on the way and to ensure my family he was perfectly safe the entire time he was missing. I left my spot to follow my brother home and actually never returned to spy on the woman though my cousin tried to entice me with gorier tales of the woman’s activities. However, I now knew the truth.\n\nThe witch would not have eaten my brother and that’s all that mattered.\n\nThis entry was posted on April 8, 2017, 12:01 am and is filed under The Unclassified Section.

"“The ‘skin’ as you refer to it, is made of biomimetic regenerative polymers that are photoreactive. They simulate what would be considered nerve regeneration on a synthetic level. Which means my exoskeleton can heal itself when exposed to sunlight.” ROGER offered. I stared completely amazed.\n\n“What I grafted onto Sarah’s arm is a similar material.” he continued, “I was surprised her body accepted it so easily — surprised and extremely pleased.”\n\nA knock at the door cut him off as Sarah entered the makeshift gym. A room in the shelter had been converted into a training facility complete with weights, boxing bags and mock enemies.\n\n“I figured I’d find you here.” she said smoothly. I nodded as she went on, “How’s about a little weapons training? We could go play in the sand!”\n\nI was unable to contain my excitement when I heard the words.\n\nI brushed the hair from my eyes and smirked, “Only if you think you’re up for it.”\n\nIt had taken her the past two months to recover from her injuries and I was proud to say I had helped. We became very close in that time, but seeing her stand in the door frame made my knees weak. Her long hair flowed into crimson ringlets and her skin was creamy white, but she still had the unseasoned appearance of a newborn colt.\n\nShe had been unable to use the weapon we fashioned to her arm this entire time; these would be her first exercises with the device. I cobbled a few dummies for target practice out in the wastelands and led her to the top of a small foothill.\n\n“This should be a good place to practice, away from risk of damaging the shelter and high enough to see enemies approaching. Now, remember what ROGER taught you…”\n\nShe was knocked to the ground before I could finish.\n\n“That was incredible!” The words flew out of her mouth. “It was like, it was like I was holding electricity, like lightening coursed through the veins in my arms and exploded from the tips of my fingers! Wow! Wow! Wow!” She smiled wickedly and her eyes glowed, she had this wild look about her. She stared at the thing. There was the slightest hint of burning in the air, and I could see her squaring up her shoulders for a second attempt.\n\nThis time I had the opportunity to watch the weapon as it charged the particles in the atmosphere and they collected in the chamber. The air seemed to whistle slightly as pure energy erupted from the muzzle and crackled toward one of the targets — just missing it.\n\nShe continued like that for the rest of the day. As the sun fell below the mountains we sat atop the small hillside and stared blankly at the arid landscape. After an exhausting pause she broke the silence,\n\n“Do you ever question your purpose?”\n\nI took in the question and seriously considered it. “I’d have to say…that I do…with every chance I get. How I got here, how my family survived, what I’m supposed to do now. It keeps replaying in my mind.”\n\nShe accepted my statement and stared longways at the expanse of desert, then commented, “The world is very different from the one I grew up in. The roads were green and lush, the trees hadn’t been choked by poisonous gasses. The water was safe to drink and the animals roamed free. Now, it’s a barren wasteland where years of changing weather patterns and toxic vapors have suffocated the environment. There is nothing here but death.”\n\nShe followed me back down to the foot of the dune. I contemplated her world for a moment and how beautifully she had described it. The only green I can remember seeing was among the sagebrush and wildflowers that had adapted to the warmer climates and dry air, which made up most of the Earth now. I imagined vehicles zooming by hovering a few inches above the ground and people moving hastily through their busy lives. I couldn’t imagine what life was like for her; having to accept that she was a clone of another human being. Almost like a counterfeit life. What was that like? Did she remember her old life? But she was strong and resilient. She was already very different than when we first found her. She had a self-possessed air about her, an otherworldly quality that separated her from us, as if she had aged every one of her three hundred years in a few weeks.\n\nWe headed back to the shelter as the sun slowly crept into the distance.\n\n“I’m really glad you came out here with me, Jake. It’s good to have someone to talk to. Sometimes I feel like I’ve known you my whole life.” She said.\n\nI wasn’t sure what to say, so I just stood silently. I wanted to touch her, I wanted to fold her into my arms and hold her, but I just stood there, dumbly. She looked at me and smiled awkwardly. Then she reached up with her good arm and slung it around my neck and grasped me tightly. I threw one arm around her and we just held each other in a tight embrace for what seemed like too long, but yet not long enough. She smelled like sweat and burning hair. It was sickly sweet and I loved it. We made our way down the long corridor, down the long hallways and into the chamber entrance. I didn’t say another word.\n\n“How did your first trials with the alien device turn out, Sarah?” ROGER asked.\n\n“They were exhilarating, doctor.” Sarah stated, “At first, I was completely thrown back by the power of the weapon, but I regained my footing and stood firmly like you suggested and everything went perfectly.”\n\nShe continued talking and I thought about what had just happened. Her skin was so warm and smooth. I was filled with excitement. And just a little bewildered. A few moments later I realized I had wandered off, lost in my own thoughts. I watched the other men and women sitting around talking and laughing, their voices muted by the sound of my own mind. It almost seemed as if the world would be just fine, or at least, I hoped it would be. Before, I was fueled by revenge, but now I found a reason to live and create a better world for us all.\n\nAfter that moment, I ceased to lead her and she began leading me, leading us all, really. In training she outran, outmaneuvered and outsmarted the rest of us time and again. She progressed at a staggering rate. Often, I would see her with one of the other men and I was jealous, but there was an unspoken bond between us. I couldn’t allow my petty jealousy and insecurities get in the way of our goal. We were a team. My headaches had ceased almost entirely and I was more agile than I had ever been. Then there was John, who had been training his own elite group. We had broken off into troops. Sarah and I had our own and Po, Rensa, Dade and John had theirs. John’s team was the cream of the crop. He had been a part of the same project as Sarah and was a clone as well. His real life had been a military one and he had an advantage.\n\nAccording to John, he had been a specialist in weaponry and molded his unit from the training he received. He handpicked them from a screening process that involved rigorous physical activities. Each of the men and women in his troop had to be able to perform 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes, 50 push-ups in 2 minutes, 6 pull-ups and then run one and half miles in under 12 minutes. It was exhaustive but got results. It ensured that his group would be the best fighting force imaginable. They trained day and night and designed most of the weapons that were used in the training for the rest of the troops. John would take his troop out on reconnaissance missions in the dead of night and bring back information on the whereabouts of the aliens and their developing gardens. We had strengthened our army and were preparing for battle.\n\nThe building swelled with the moving of a thousand men and women all going about their daily routines harvesting, eating, drinking, moving and manufacturing the weapons of war. So much noise, it was hard to find a quiet spot. I spent my days training with my troops, teaching them the art of unarmed hand to hand combat, guiding them in the mastery of swordplay. My nights were a journey of self discovery. I was not a religious man and had no reason to be one. No single catalyzing event had taken place in my life to make me believe that a divine creator had laid hands on this world and, after molding it, deemed it fit for destruction. The very fact that these creatures had come to this world and begun systematically eradicating us from it removed any spiritual understanding I might have had.\n\nPo came to me in the night and sat next to me while I lay in my bunk. I sat up and addressed him.\n\n“Jake, the men are ready and John has asked me to come to you and determine if the rest of the troops are prepared.”\n\nHe looked exhausted, his eyes were heavy and filled with pain. Fear suddenly enveloped me in a cold sweat. Taking on the beasts myself was no difficult task, I would do it gladly. Asking thousands of men to offer their lives to this cause was another matter entirely. And I could tell that it weighed heavily on his heart too. Could we not just go on training forever? Preparing for a battle that would never come? Every military leader who spent an ounce of time with his soldiers has faced this moment, and each I’m sure, with no less heavy a heart than now.",

"Arm portrays its strategy for machine learning at the edge\n\nWith one of the strongest processor ecosystems in the industry, Arm’s role to accelerate the adoption of machine learning (ML) at the edge can’t be overemphasized, and its effort to enhance its CPU performance and software support for ML workloads is now in full swing. According to Jem Davies, Arm fellow, VP and GM, Machine Learning Group, the market outlook, challenges, and Arm’s overall strategy to address the huge opportunity are clearly disclosed.\n\n“We see ML as one of the most exciting advancements in computers and processors in modern times,” Davies said. “As machine learning is exploding across edge devices, we’re now to the point where we are seeing huge amounts of activities and some really interesting use cases across all markets Arm technology services.”\n\nFrom his point of view, some of the most interesting use cases and active communities for ML are coming out of the IoT sector using traditionally very small processors like the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller family.\n\nFor example, the use cases come from the embedded and IoT spaces, such as life improving medical devices like smart asthma inhalers, through to industrial sorting and robotics to voice assistants, more intelligent home security and even things like DTVs where there is a lot of activity in super scaling, scene recognition and picture quality enhancement and gesture recognition.\n\nOf course, there are some of the more interesting ones, including the well covered autonomous vehicle and driver assistance; in smartphone a huge range of applications are implementing ML improvements like smarter games engines, richer social media applications, and even utility applications built directly into the OS like predictive text and voice assistants.\n\n“From an Arm perspective, the thirst for ML in edge devices is just beginning and we expect it to continue growing substantially for several years yet,” he said. “The use cases are still growing rapidly and we expect an explosion of creativity over the next couple years as the algorithms become more understood and smaller and the developer community really engages with what ML can bring.”\n\nBut, the challenges are…\n\nHowever, opportunities always come with challenges. The challenge for Arm is to ensure people have the improved CPU and other processors along with associated software and tools to support their needs today while also ensuring it is working on the products for tomorrow with even more capability, such as ML dedicated processors.\n\nBut at the customers’ side, Davies saw lots of confusion as ML is too new and too complicated for them to adopt. “A lot of what we’re working on now is just trying to help demystify and clarify things in the technology space as there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation out there.”\n\n“Two years ago or even a year ago, it wasn’t uncommon for people to think that if you wanted to do any ML on a device, you needed to have an ML dedicated processor – a view fuelled by people with dedicated processors to sell – and so we would get asked which processor was best for ML a lot. It depends on what is important to you. So we’ve spent a lot of time explaining when a small CPU, large CPU, multi-processor CPU, GPU or ML processor would best meet people’s needs.”\n\nOn the other hand, one of the biggest challenges for software developers is the same one they always have: which hardware platform/processor should I target to give my software the widest compatibility with devices?\n\nAside from that, models have introduced a new and critical component to the technology stack when you are doing ML. A lot of work has gone on in the industry the last few years to make these better understood and more friendly and accessible.\n\nAccording to Davies, ML is driving a change in software, and Arm’s processors and products are all about running software. As such, his view is that ML is affecting nearly all Arm’s products.\n\n“You can see this in the CPUs we have been releasing the last couple years which have had major performance improvements specifically targeted at ML workloads. Often these are 4x or even 10x on generation improvements. This also extends to our latest GPUs and even our efficient Cortex-M family where we recently released our Helium extensions specifically supporting 15 times improved ML performance in microcontrollers.”\n\n“So Arm is focused on offering a huge range of ‘processors’ that can give customers a vast range of price, performance and power trade-offs. We will be extending that further through 2019 with a range of complementary ML processors for all markets given the market options where heavy ML workloads are needed or ML power efficiency is critical.”\n\nHe explained that Arm’s strategy has been to add capabilities to its CPU and GPU architectures to support ML for some years now. And the company has launched a range of scalable and extensible NPUs (neural processing units) to provide more efficient ML processing in a range of market segments with performance requirements such as in automotive, right down to the tiniest low-power embedded microcontrollers.\n\nAs he mentioned, there is no one-size-fits-all approach when choosing processors for ML. “We predict that ML will continue to be run across a range of processors, not just NPUs,” he said.\n\nIn addition to this, Arm has been investing heavily in ensuring the software is there to get the best performance out of current and future Arm hardware as well as ensuring software portability.\n\nIt is fair to say that Arm provides the architectures at the heart of modern computing and Arm-based devices are everywhere around us. With this advantage, when disruptions like ML come along, developers will use Arm’s architectures first to innovate on, Davies indicated.\n\n“We recently launched a survey to measure where ML processing is being performed, and the most popular was the Arm Cortex CPU architecture, followed by the Arm Mali GPU architecture,” he said. “That’s a huge advantage for us – it gives us great connections to developers who can then tell us what they need us to develop in terms of software libraries, compilers, development tools etc and what they will want to do themselves.”\n\n“This major shift in the industry is something we started some years ago and we could see it spreading across various areas of the company. That’s when Arm’s Project Trillium was brought to life to help ensure we were taking a broad, holistic and comprehensive view of ML in the business.”\n\nHe explained that Project Trillium, which covers all of Arm’s ML activities, is Arm’s and third-party hardware IP and software running ML workloads and applications. Within it are CPU and GPU improvements started many years ago in research, a broad range of complementary current and future ML processors software to enable ML on Arm, tools, ecosystem and a ramping amount of educational material.\n\nAs ML is fundamentally a software problem, Arm is also investing hugely to support ML developers on Arm. Arm NN provides a framework to allow ML workloads to be easily run across a variety of processors: CPUs, GPUs, NPUs and other IP blocks.\n\n“We developed Arm NN, investing over 120 engineering years of effort before donating it to Linaro, and now, with Open Source and Open Governance, our partners are contributing their own efforts to Arm NN, in the confidence that it will become an open standard across multiple industries, not controlled by any one company.”\n\nWith these big investments in tooling and ecosystem support and development, Arm aims to provide the broadest and most comprehensive range of ML solutions for all ranges of edge devices, and hope to bear fruit in the years to come.",

"Instagram has long been flirting with the idea of having multiple user accounts per device, and it seems like the facility is about to become available to an average Joe fairly soon.\n\nStarting this week, the users of the Facebook-owned service will be able to add more than one account on mobile platforms, which obviously includes both Android and iOS.\n\nThe feature is being brought in version 7.15 of the application. The news was broken by the moderators in a blog post.\n\nTo add an account, simply go to the profile settings inside the app. Once that is done, simply tap your username at the top to switch between accounts. Your profile photo will also be permanently on display to remind you of which identity you’re assuming at any given moment.\n\nSome users are reporting not getting the feature in version 7.15 of the app as of yet so you might have to wait a bit longer still as more teething issues are ironed out.\n\nThough the feature has been available in Facebook for the last few years now, it is strange how in a quickly-exploding service like Instagram it was missing till now. With the news coming out recently that the feature was being finalized, it was clear that people would be getting it either sooner or later by now. On Android, the feature was reportedly being tested as early as November.\n\nWith a large number of people nowadays boasting two or more accounts of any service, featuring both their real self as well as their alter ego, it was clear this is more of a necessity rather than an add-on."

"Were Department of Energy loans to green companies like Solyndra just an example of Democratic pork in the stimulus bill? Matt Steinglass says no:\n\nThis is not a good description of what happened with Solyndra. In fact, it’s sort of backwards. There were elements of the ARRA that did not make for optimal stimulus, and were included largely for political reasons. But those elements weren’t the DOE innovative-technology loan guarantee programme, or for that matter the kinds of government spending generally desired by liberal Democrats. They were the kinds of tax breaks for wealthy people and businesses generally desired by conservative Republicans. The DOE loan guarantees were in fact among the programmes that the Congressional Budget Office believed would provide the maximum possible stimulus….There’s no mystery as to why Democrats wanted the DOE loan guarantees in the ARRA. These were “shovel-ready” projects; the corporations involved were ready to spend the money quickly.\n\nBut was there pressure to speed up the loan process? Indeed yes:\n\nWhy? Probably because in early 2009, DOE was widely viewed as a lazy, sluggish organisation, poor at managing money, that was making ridiculous bureaucratic demands on firms before it would approve the loan guarantees, which had been authorised by Congress in 2005 and launched by the Bush administration in 2007….Newly minted energy secretary Steven Chu was labouring mightily to push through the backlog of loan guarantees, telling slowpoke employees: “Tell us what you need to do in order to get them [decided] in four weeks.”\n\n….Unfortunately, when the government subsidises investment in an industry, some of the investments will fail; speeding up the process may increase the risk of failure. There are trade-offs here. Rather than loan guarantees, the government could subsidise the industry directly with grants. Then instead of a risk that taxpayers will have to pay, you have a certainty; you may also run afoul of WTO rules. Or the government could restrict its loan guarantees to companies that are already profitable. But then you’re just sponsoring lazy national-champion firms, not seeding dynamic startups. Or the government could limit stimulus efforts to buying public end-products (more trains, roads, parks, museums, schools, fighter jets, public housing, etc) and let the private sector compete to supply them. But that’s probably not shovel-ready and may not work as stimulus.\n\nThat last paragraph is an important one. If you’ve decided, for partisan political reasons, that stimulus just flatly doesn’t work, then you’re free to make whatever outrageous charges you want. You can complain that the program is moving too slowly (see the Washington Post today for that version) and then turn right around and complain that it’s moving too fast. You can complain that it’s Democratic pork and then turn around and insist on diverting the money to nuclear and fossil fuel loan guarantees. You can make up nonsensical numbers about the cost of jobs created, as if that’s all the loan money is for, and your adoring fan base will cheer. You can insist that federal programs don’t create any jobs and then turn around and brag about all the jobs that some new bridge-building project has brought into your district. You can basically say anything you want.\n\nIf you’re on the other side, you’re a little more bound by reality. And the reality is that some projects succeed and some fail. You can have more successes (maybe) by being more careful, or you can streamline the program, but at the cost of accepting more failures. If you actually decide to do something, instead of standing on the sidelines and carping, those are the risks you take. Obama and congressional Democrats took that risk in 2009, and the result saved millions of jobs and kept us from sliding into a major depression. But failures are inevitable no matter how well the programs are run, and opportunistic politicians are always going to try to take advantage of that. It comes with the territory. That’s what’s happening here."

"Freckles dotted her skin like punctuation on the chalkboard during an English lesson. She had thick, frizzy hair; the color and texture reminded me of Little Orphan Annie’s hair, curls unfurled. Her name was Miss Hudik, and my fifth-grade class was her first when she began her career at Center Road Elementary. She assigned a short story with illustrations. I wrote a tale inspired by The Red Balloon, an award-winning children’s film directed by Albert Lamorisse.\n\nOn a rainy fall day in France, Pascal finds a balloon, round and red. The balloon, which has human qualities, is a companion to lonely Pascal until his jealous classmates steal it. One of them hits it with a slingshot. Hundreds of balloons escape, fly to Pascal, wrap their strings around him like a harness, and lift him in the air. This is where the idea for my first story came from.\n\nMy character, Holly, flew in a red hot air balloon with a brown woven basket, despite her fear of heights. Various situations threatened to pop the balloon. She landed unharmed, a braver girl. I used 11” x 14” white paper, folded in half to look like a book, silver staples at the seams. I traced lines with a ruler, four to a page; I printed my best handwriting with a black crayon. Above the words, I drew a stick figure with yellow pigtails and blue eyes, the sun, clouds, V-shaped birds. When I wrote my name on the cover, I felt, for the first time, like a writer.\n\nI remember the immense joy creation brought. I couldn’t draw but I didn’t care; the words were much more fun to play with than the crayons. Miss Hudik confirmed it for me; she told me I should write stories. I started to dream about books, real books, bound with spines instead of staples, my name on the cover. When adults asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, “An author.”\n\nA red balloon inspired me to create; a red-haired woman encouraged me to continue. She gave me the guts I needed to write on my own. Miss Hudik was my last childhood teacher. She sent me into junior high, and the rest of my life, armed with the core of my identity: writer.",

"What a rainy wet weekend we had, the light was so flat, however I used what daylight I could to begin painting again. After setting everything up, and getting everything out I was tempted to complete a half finished painting which I had begun last April, but thought that perhaps a fresh start would be better, so I chose a photo from my iPad which I had taken in the New Year after a fall of snow.\nI decided to limit myself to just 5 colours. Shadow, Bluebell, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna and White.\nI began by blocking in the dark areas using a dilute mix of Shadow and Bluebell.\nI spent the first half hour or so finding my feet a bit, and I must admit to dithering! I couldn't quite decide on the depth of colour and should, in hindsight have just used one colour and scrabbled it on quickly rather than faff about too much. Anyway this was the start.",
null,
"It began to get quite dark so I decided to leave it till the next day and begin another one in artificial light. My overhead lights are pretty good, so I prepared a couple of canvas boards by coating them with two layers of Pale Raw Umber as my mid tone base.\n\n\nThen I became much bolder applying the paint with more confidence and this was my second painting. Same two colours but applied quite differently. I don't chose to paint in artificial light as I always find it affects the colours too much, but I was just keen to get going while I felt like painting and I really enjoyed getting stuck in to it again.",
null,
"When I looked at this the next morning it did seem rather bold, so I decided to work only in daylight and only paint in artificial light to prepare my boards. I'm used to painting demos indoors of course, but a demo is very different from painting an actual painting, in the sense that a demo is designed to teach techniques, rather than merely to complete a painting in front of an audience.\n\nThis was the first painting once I had worked on it the following day. Its 10 x 12 inches.",
null,
"Below is my second painting in late afternoon light.\nMaggie my little schnauzer is curled up on her bed, she is always with me. Occasionally she will push her little nose against me if she wants something, or brings me a squeaky toy if I have been painting for too long!\n\nTerry and I had different studios and we would always comment on each others work. I missed him standing next to me with his coffee in hand, looking intently at my painting before offering advice, a little bit of dark here, or some light there. That voice by my side when he popped in and out throughout the day. I feel so blessed to have had him in my life for the time we were together.\nSo these are my first two paintings.\nThank you for your emails and comments which have encouraged me so much. Now that I have made a start I am sure to continue.",
null,
"It was April last year that I last painted. Never has so much time passed by, without me picking up my paint brushes, but for the first time since then, I now have an urge to paint again. I have been thinking about it for a couple of days, but today was different, I felt a real determination rather than just a thought.When we had the heavy snow fall a few weeks back I went out and took some photos, this was my first step to thinking about painting subjects again.",
null,
"There were two stay-wet palettes and this was the first one I opened! The smell was so overpowering as I lifted the lid that I ran outside, threw away the paper palette and the box and sponge are now soaking in bleach!",
null,
"So I now intend to set up my easel and see what happens.\n\nHopefully I will have something to share with you, and it would be so encouraging to know you are interested in what I paint!\nPosted by Fiona Peart at 13:19 6 comments:"

"During the great age of exploration, when sailors were poking into every unknown corner of the globe, nobody went to the islands of Fiji, including Dravuni, some 65 kilometers (40 miles) to the south of the main island of Fiji. Ships would sail up far enough to see perfect beaches, blue-hole reefs and mountains big enough to be called mountains, but not so big you'd kill yourself hauling a cannon up one.\n\nBut then the Fijians would appear. Enormous people, faces tattooed in intricate designs, each carrying that one essential of Fijian life: a dark wooden club studded with shark teeth. The cannibal’s best friend.\n\nMost of the stories of head-hunting and cannibalism were set in Fiji, where the greatest honors were given to those who brought home the most enemy heads. Since the residents of the archipelago’s 300 islands had been warring with each other for centuries, they saw in the arrival of representatives of the outside world an exciting (and potentially tasty) development.\n\nBut all things must pass, even cannibal rituals. Life on Fiji changed and these days, Fijians still come down to meet ships and they still carry war clubs, but instead of looking for lunch, they’re looking to yell \"Bula!\" in greeting to as many people as the day allows."

"The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company (NLNG) is sponsoring the construction of the first major ship yard in Nigeria at the cost of $1.5 billion, in its attempt to turn the country into a hub for maritime operations on the continent.\n\nNigeria does not have a drydock for maintaining and repairing large crude vessels, a major drawback for carriers sailing to the country, NLNG spokesman Tony Okonedo told Reuters.\n\nOnly South Africa had such a facility on the continent, Okonedo said, meaning that ships travelled a long distance for repairs. Nigeria has two facilities that can only accommodate small vessels, he said.\n\nOkonedo said Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries have both agreed a $30 million commitment towards the construction of the facility, which would be located in Badagry, near Nigeria’s commercial capital of Lagos.\n\n“It could potentially be used to transport the 2.5 million barrel a day crude business in Nigeria,” Okonedo said on the sidelines of a media briefing.\n\nOkonedo said the NLNG organised a roadshow earlier this year to market the dry dock project to investors, which included multinational oil companies in Nigeria, with large exploration and upstream activities.\n\nHe said NLNG, which is owned by Nigeria’s state-oil company NNPC, Royal Dutch Shell, French oil company Total and Italy’s Eni was in discussions with a strategic investor for the project.\n\nThe construction of the dry dock, with a size that can accommodate 185 football fields, will take up to 48 months to complete and would commence once all the funding was in place, he said.\n\nThe company, which was set up over two decades ago, has a capacity to produce 22 million metric tonnes of liquefied gas a year. It obtains its gas supply from upstream oil companies and liquefies it for export.\n\nIt has long-term supply contracts with buyers in Italy, Spain, Turkey, Portugal and France and also sells on the spot market.\n\nRevenues for the first half shed 25 percent, in line with the fall in crude prices, NLNG said."

"Jon Agirre’s route into the field of structural biology followed an unusual path starting with an undergraduate degree and the start of a PhD in computer engineering at the University of the Basque Country, Spain. Jon wanted to use his computer programming skills to ensure his PhD project had an impact on some of the most difficult real-world challenges and decided to meet with staff from across the university to understand what these challenges were. It was here that Jon’s passion for biology, which started prior to his introduction to computer engineering, was reignited by leading structural biologists facing complex biological problems. Shortly after this, Jon left his PhD in computer engineering in order to take up a PhD in structural biology, which he completed in 2009.\n\nFollowing on from his PhD, Jon undertook a series of short postdoctoral positions in France at the Institute of Structural Biology, Grenoble and the Pasteur Institute, Paris. These short postdoctoral positions proved invaluable, allowing Jon to learn crucial techniques and to form partnerships with experts in the field. A particularly fruitful partnership formed during this period was with Professor Jorge Navaza. Jorge taught Jon essential methods in crystallography and, as Jon describes, “connected the sides of my brain”, by uniting Jon’s joint interests and knowledge of computer engineering and structural biology. This period of time learning crystallographic techniques spurred Jon on to seek out further postdoctoral positions resulting in joining the York Structural Biology Laboratory (YSBL) at the University of York, UK. Jon credits this period as a postdoctoral researcher in the family-like environment of the YSBL, founded by Professor Eleanor Dodson FRS and Professor Guy Dodson FRS, as a truly transformational part of his academic career.\n\nThe supportive and multidisciplinary environment arising from the lack of hierarchy, allowing for frank and open discussion amongst all members of the group, provided Jon with the freedom to pursue an application to the Royal Society for a University Research Fellowship. Jon started his research fellowship at YSBL in October 2017 generously supported by a donation in the name of Professor Olga Kennard FRS by the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.\n\nJon’s field of research focuses on structural glycobiology and specifically, developing computer programming methods for carbohydrate structure detection, refinement and validation. The currently existing techniques of seeing biological macromolecules, electron cryo-microscopy and x-ray crystallography, require considerable interpretation of the data in order form an accurate atomic model of the molecule. This is particularly problematic when viewing the complex and branching structures of carbohydrates. Improving the current methods of modelling carbohydrates will have an important impact on a significant number of biological interactions, including crucially and topically, in understanding antibody functions or improving biofuel production.\n\nJon’s research group is working on developing new computational methods for solving this key challenge in structural glycobiology. Despite forming his group relatively recently, Jon is already changing standard practices in the structural glycobiology research community. He has attended many international workshops and conferences with the goal of changing perceptions, and has noticed that the work seems to have made an impact judging by the number of new research competitors who have arisen in the field over the past few years. Jon’s contributions to his field also extend to his impressive publication track record since starting his research fellowship, including two significant papers for the Journal of Biological Chemistry and Current Opinion in Structural Biology.\n\nBeyond the support for the core research, Jon’s Royal Society Olga Kennard Research Fellowship has also provided him with the opportunities to develop his academic career in terms of forming new research collaborations, supervising students and developing novel public engagement activities. Jon values his multitude of academic collaborations both in the UK and internationally; highlighting his collaborators at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge as feeling like a family due to many of the lab members originating in the YSBL. Jon also has a number of collaborators in institutions across Europe including in Sweden, France, Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands.\n\nJon’s research group currently consists of five individuals; three PhD students (one funded by the EPSRC, one funded by the Royal Society and one by the Saudi Ministry of Education) and two Masters students. He has found supervising students a particularly fulfilling part of his job; “it is immensely rewarding watching people grow as a result of mentoring, and providing them with the opportunities to take their research careers forward.” Supervising his group has not only had an impact on the students; Jon considers this prospect of taking an active role in training the next generation of researchers as a life changing opportunity, and something which he wouldn’t have been able to do without the freedom and support afforded to him through his research fellowship.\n\nOutside of his lab, Jon is helping design workshops for a STEM club at the primary school his eldest daughter attends. Here he teaches children how to programme basic Raspberry Pi computers and hopes to gain additional skills and knowledge in order to expand the sessions by attending the Engaging with Schools course delivered by the Royal Society. Jon has attended other courses run by the Society in media skills, leadership effectiveness and scientific writing, and has been selected to participate in the MP Pairing Scheme this year. These additional activities have allowed Jon to expand his networks, develop his communication skills with new audiences, and spark confidence in his abilities as a new academic.\n\nAs he enters the third year of his research fellowship, Jon hopes to build upon his academic, professional and personal successes gained as a result of the support from the Royal Society and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. Jon is appreciative and humbled by the steady increase in the number of conferences he is invited to talk at and is excited by the prospects of taking on additional public engagement activities however, one of the challenges Jon intends on addressing is how to balance his burgeoning academic career with the demands of raising a young family."

"We’re quickly approaching the time when Miami Beach’s already thriving art scene shifts into overdrive, eventually culminating with the arrival of the annual, perennially popular Art Basel event. While that won’t be happening for a few more months, November will welcome the official arrival of Alan Faena’s namesake Faena District on Collins Avenue, comprised of the Faena Forum, Bazaar and Park.\n\nInnovative influences will be present throughout the Faena District. The Forum, for example, will consist of a public performance venue standing two stories tall with design by Pritzker Prize winning architect Rem Koolhaas. As for the Bazaar, future visitors will find a mix of retail consisting of well-established international brands and lesser known, up and coming names. The Park will serve as a garage, albeit one boasting elevators for vehicles.\n\nThe celebration for the official Faena District unveiling will begin on November 27th with a processional performance featuring a fusion of local and global artists, all of them adding their own one of a kind touch to the carnival style parade. This parade will be followed by Forum performances by the Miami City Ballet.\n\nThe Faena District will be located near the acclaimed Faena House and the Faena Hotel. The hotel features 169 exquisitely appointed rooms."

"A move to continue using five substitutes has been defeated by 11 votes to nine in a victory for the Premier League’s smaller clubs.\n\nThe rule brought in for Project Restart following the coronavirus outbreak will end after a lengthy debate at a meeting of Premier League clubs on Thursday.\n\nThe big clubs argued that the additional changes are good for player welfare and useful for clubs in European competition. However, the rest claimed that five substitutions benefit clubs with bigger squads and disrupt the flow of games.",

"Extending matchday squads from 18 to 20 was also rejected, with the vote tied at 10-10.\n\n\nA motion to implement VAR in line with FIFA protocols on VAR was passed unanimously. It includes an increased use of referee review in the areas of red cards, goals and penalty kicks and there will be no leeway on marginal offsides.\n\nAssistant referees will keep the flag down for close calls until a goal is scored or the chance has gone.\n\nThe clubs also agreed to set up a working group to consider ways to decide issues if the season has to be cut short. A vote on that will be taken before the new season starts.\n\nClubs were concerned about how many matches need to be played for the season to count. Some suggested that 50 per cent would be unfair, as some clubs may have already played the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City twice.",

We absolutely understand and appreciate the huge economic pressure that clubs have come under due to the Covid-19 crisis.'\n\nHowever, we have significant reservations about the measures being proposed and the speed at which these are being implemented. The introduction of a salary cap in English football represents a seismic change. It is a change that will have far-reaching and significant impacts across the professional game.’"

"I was having a Skype conversation with my sister, and I begged her to try Minion Rush. My husband got me addicted to it, and I haven’t been able to put it down. I thought she’d love it. She agreed to give it a try, but she mentioned that she was hooked on this app called Dumb Ways To Die. How could I refuse to check out an app like that?",
null,
"The point of the game is to keep these cartoon characters from dying strange, but horrible deaths. I’m going to go out of a limb and guess that these characters aren’t entirely stable. Who sets their hair on fire, eats a tube of superglue, or tries to pry their toast out of the toaster with a fork? Well, all right. I might have done the last one, but I’ve definitely never eaten any glue.\n\nEach scenario has its own requirements for how to prevent the death. You have to tap as fast as you can on the guy with his hair on fire. You have to tilt your iDevice to prevent the glue eater from falling on the floor, and you have to slowly slide the fork out of the toaster without touching the sides.\n\nThe scenarios are timed. As you complete more of these tasks, you are required to do them at a faster pace. If the timer runs out, the character dies. Luckily, you have three deaths that you can cause before you get a game over.\n\nEach character that you save will award you points. You can unlock new characters once you reach a certain point goal. Basically, you’re putting all the various ways that a character can die on display in the main menu.",
null,
"It’s all cartoon violence. This isn’t an app dedicated to anatomically correct ways that your body suffers various deaths. However, this is probably not a game that most kids would want to play. For the rest of us, the app is hilarious and addictive.\n\nDumb Ways To Die is a universal app, and it’s available in the App Store for FREE!",

Weam Al Dakheel became the first woman ever to be presenting the nightly newscast alongside anchor Omar Al Nashwan. A day that will be marked in the history of Saudi Arabia.

The empowerment of Saudi women is a key pillar of Saudi Vision 2030, spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The past year saw the entrance of some 600,000 Saudi women to the workforce."

"Lenovo relaunched the Motorola brand at an event in Beijing last week, and it looks like the company is taking aim at high-end competitors, according to a Wall Street Journal article by Eva Dou. This relaunch comes in the wake of Lenovo’s purchase of Motorola late last year.\nAt that time, Motorola had operating losses of about a billion dollars, but Lenovo is now hoping to leverage the Motorola brand to take aim at high-end rivals Apple and Samsung. As Dou notes, Lenovo is pricing Motorola phones above its own, starting them above $400. But it’s also going to meet fierce competition from Xiaomi, the Chinese maker of low-end smartphones that has been chipping away at the bigger players’ market share. The Beijing launch event took a shot at Xiaomi by borrowing from that company’s playbook and marketing the event to the average user, going so far as to fly in fans from around China.\nMotorola’s dive back into the smartphone market is likely unwelcome news for all of its rivals, as the market has been flooded in recent years largely due to decreasing costs in advanced technology, and increasing demand from users. Samsung, a giant in the field, seems to have been pushed into a kind of existential crisis by the increased competition, while Apple continues to look for ways to innovate as it strives to maintain and increase market share. But Lenovo is hungry. Speaking to Dou, a Barclays executive noted that growth in the PC market – where Lenovo has been active – is decreasing, and Lenovo is going to be pushed to rely more on revenue from smartphones. So it has put its chips behind the reanimated Motorola, and whatever the result, it’s sure to shake things up.\nTags: Time\nTweet Like Plus Pin It Share\nRelated Posts",

"Photographers Karen Knorr and Olivier Richon documented the London Punk scene between 1976 and 1977. Of the resulting black and white photographs, many remained unpublished for over 30 years, and were brought together for the first time in Punks.\n\nThe word punk is associated with a style and attitude formed by disenchantment, nihilism, visual violence and theatricality. At the time these photographs were taken there were approximately 3 million young people unemployed in Europe. Some of the Punks captured by Richon and Knorr were still at school, others out of work and those who worked during the day were punk at night. For this early student collaboration, the photographers, both new to London, directly engaged with the young punks, encouraging performance and playful interaction.\n\nKaren Knorr was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany in 1954 and was raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico before arriving in London in 1976. She graduated from the Polytechnic of Central London with a BA (Hons) in Film and photographic Arts in 1980 before completing a Masters in Photographic Studies at Derby University in 1990. She was awarded a National Endowment of the Arts Award in 1986 for her series Gentlemen and her recent work India Song was awarded the Pilar Citoler V International Photography Award in 2010. She is Professor of Photography at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, Surrey.\n\nOlivier Richon was born in Lausanne in 1956, and came to London in 1976. He studied at the Polytechnic of Central London, where he graduated with a BA (Hons) in Film and Photographic Arts in 1980, and a Master of Philosophy in 1988 for a project on Exoticismand Representation. In 1991, he received the Camera Austria Award for Contemporary Photography. Real Allegories, a monograph of his photographic work, was published by Steidl in 2006. He is Professor of Photography at the Royal College of Art.",

"“Today we honour, as we have done every year for the past 10 years, the memory of our fellow citizens that unjustly lost their lives in the branch of Marfin Bank. And on this occasion, once again, we express our condemnation of violence. We unequivocally condemn violence, especially violence against the most precious of goods, the most precious value that is human life,” main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras said on Saturday, laying a wreath at the site where a commemorative plaque has been erected for the victims of the 2010 Marfin Bank arson attack.\n\n“Nevertheless, today I am unfortunately also obliged to unequivocally condemn not just violence but also hypocrisy. The hypocrisy of [Prime Minister Kyriakos] Mitsotakis, who decided to open up the case file, one decade on, for an investigation by the Citizens’ Protection Ministry, by the same people that 10 years ago proved incapable of seeking and finding the culprits or leading them to justice to account [for their actions],” Tsipras added.\n\nThe main opposition leader repeated his condemnation of violence “but also the hypocrisy of Mr. Mitsotakis”, noting that just a few months before decided to erect the plaque at this spot, the prime minister had instructed the citizen protection ministry and the labour ministry to appeal against a court ruling that had awarded compensation to the families of the victims for their deaths.",

"Big changes await Tesla in 2022, as the company will begin mass production at two new factories, which will entail a major increase in overall production capacity. Information from a manager of the company hints that next year Tesla will be able to achieve production of 1.5 million vehicles, as well as develop in many other directions.\n\nManaging Partner at The Future Fund LLC, Gary Black, tweeted that his company met with a Tesla manager on December 8. After this meeting, the analyst shared some general thoughts that came up for him.\n\nFirstly, Black believes that the manufacturer's new factories, Giga Texas and Giga Berlin, will open with limited production before the end of 2021. In fact, this is in line with Tesla's general expectations. Giga Texas is already in its final stages, while Giga Berlin is only awaiting final environmental approval. The analyst also expects that, in the first year of operation, both of the new factories of the manufacturer will have a production volume and gross profit percentage similar to the first year of operation at Giga Shanghai.\n\nSecondly, Black is confident that Tesla can deliver 1.5 million units in 2022 if battery availability allows. This number coincides with the opinion of New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu, who raised his price target for Tesla to $1,580, becoming the highest on Street. It's worth noting that Wall Street currently expects Tesla to be able to deliver about 1.27 million vehicles in 2022.\n\nBlack wrote that the expansion of Tesla's production capacity next year will come from the expansion of Giga Shanghai, as well as the start and ramp-up of production at Giga Texas and Giga Berlin. In addition, he indicated that Tesla is planning new locations, which should also play a role in expanding production capacity. It is currently unknown where a new plant—or plants—would be exactly, but rumors that the manufacturer is planning a factory in India have been circulating in the community for some time now.\n\nIn addition, the analyst wrote that the production and start of deliveries of Cybertruck is being prepared for late 2022. As Tesla CEO Elon Musk said earlier, the electric pickup will have many new technologies, which will significantly complicate production. However, once Cybertruck comes out, it will undeniably be exactly that—a product worthy of such a long wait.\n\n4/ Cybertruck on track for late 2022 start of product’n/delivs.\n5/ Capacity expansion required will be via Shanghai/Austin/Berlin expansions first, plus new locations.$TSLA IR is meeting with buy side investment teams via virtual 1:1s at the Deutsche Bank auto conf today.",

"The new K-pop boy group called SUPERKIND has five members , one of which is an artificial intelligence (AI) idol named Saejin. The group, which will debut on June 20, is under Deep Studio Entertainment. https://www.rnmkrs.org/profile/JurassicWorld-Dominion-ONLINE/profile The agency also introduced the CGI-made member on social media, and immediately got various responses, one of which was called Cha Eun-woo and NCT’s Jaehyun.\n\nAccording to the agency, Saejin’s background is modeling on TikTok and Instagram. He is said to have been born on March 7, 2002. From the SUPERKIND NUKE vs PRID: Performance Video Lego released on the SUPERKIND YouTube channel, Saejin’s performance is still made solo or not combined with the other four members .\n\nBut what caught the attention of netizens, citing KBIZoom , was the agency’s way of introducing Saejin, namely by imitating the facial expressions of groups like NCT and The Boyz. This is said to contradict the statement by Deep Studio Entertainment, which wants to create a unique boy group figure in the K-pop industry.

"The cost of UK poverty to the public purse is around £78 billion – about £1,200 for every person, and equivalent to 4 percent of UK’s GDP. This figure includes £69 billion for public services and £9 billion due to lost tax revenue and additional spend on benefits to compensate for the effects of poverty.\n\nSo conclude researchers from Heriot Watt and Loughborough Universities in a report on UK poverty for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). Their research highlights the economic benefit of tackling poverty, as opposed to the clear social benefit.\n\nSome of their key findings include:\n\n– £29 billion a year, the cost of 126,000 nurses, goes on treating health conditions associated with poverty\n\n– 26 percent (£4.6 billion a year) of adult social care expenditure is linked to poverty\n\n– £4.1 billion of housing costs are due to UK poverty.\n\nOne of the researchers, Professor Donald Hirsch of the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University, says it is hard to assess the full cost of poverty, “not least its full scarring effect on those who experience it.”\n\nHowever, he says the report shows UK poverty has “very large, tangible effects on the public purse.”\n\n“The experience of poverty, for example, makes it more likely that you’ll suffer ill health or that you’ll grow up with poor employment prospects and rely more on the state for your income,” says Prof. Hirsch, adding:\n\n“The very large amounts we spend on the NHS and on benefits means that making a section of the population more likely to need them is extremely costly to the Treasury.”",
null,
"The researchers estimated the more tangible cost of UK poverty, specifically in terms of impact on the public purse. (Data from JRF Report Counting the Cost of UK Poverty.)\n\n“The level of poverty in the UK is shameful. This should be a place where everyone can live a decent, secure life. Instead, 13 million people – half of whom are in a working family – are living without enough to meet their needs.”\n\nUnwin says poverty “doesn’t just hold individuals back, it holds back our economy too.” By depriving society of the skills and talents of people whose potential is wasted by it, poverty drags down productivity, curbs economic growth, and reduces tax revenues.\n\n£1 in every £5 of spending on public services is linked to poverty, and much of it is spent on remedying its effects, note the researchers, as they conclude:\n\n“Putting public effort into helping people thrive is ultimately more fruitful than having to spend money picking up the pieces of broken lives.”\n\nNext month, JRF are launching a comprehensive, long-term plan that will propose how individuals, communities, charities, businesses, and Government can work together to solve the problem of UK poverty.\n\nIn the emerging economies, poverty refers to people earning less than $1.25 per day. Although poverty exists in the UK and other advanced economies, its definition is not the same.\n\nIncome inequality highlights the gap between the highest and lowest earners in an economy."

"(VEN) - The Vietnamese economy grew by 5.46 percent in the first quarter of this year, a 0.66 percent decrease over the same period last year, which is however not a major concern, according to a first quarter macro-economic report published by the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR).",
null,
"According to the VEPR’s report, the economic growth in the first quarter experienced a 0.66 percent fall for the first time over the past five years . The industrial sector failed to meet expectations, just registering a quarterly 6.72 percent increase, in addition to decreased trading and export activities. The first quarter’s total export value just hit US$37.7 billion, a 3.9 percent increase over the same period last year. One of the causes for that was the gloomy economic situation in importing countries.\n\nSome of economic targets for the first quarter might have been set at much higher levels than they should be, said economic expert Dr. Vu Dinh Anh.\n\nDespite achieving lower economic growth than expectations in the first quarter, the economic restructuring has provided the ground for sustainable growth in the near future, said former Minister of Industry and Trade Truong Dinh Tuyen.\n\nThe report mentioned an issue from the domestic economy in the first quarter that deposits abroad amounted to US$7.3 billion, while the foreign currency status of commercial banks did not change much. This was unusual and should be monitored closely, says the report.\n\nAbout 22,000 enterprises were dissolved in the first quarter, a 24 percent increase over the same period last year, equivalent to 80 percent of the newly established enterprises, according to economic experts.",

"She's the bomb! Rita Ora keeps a low profile in beanie hat and bomber jacket as she steps out in New York\n\nShe normally likes to wear eye-catching ensembles even when she’s just stepping out to get a coffee.\n\nBut on Friday Rita Ora opted for a rather low-key look as she left her hotel in New York wearing an oversized bomber jacket.\n\nPerhaps having somewhat of a bad hair day the 22-year-old stuck a blue beanie over her head and a pair of reflective round-rim frames as she headed out into the city.",

"New Orleans based singer-songwriter Esther Rose laughs at her own misfortune on new song \"Good Time,\" the latest release from Rose's forthcoming album How Many Times (out on March 26 via Father/ Daughter Record and Full Time Hobby).\n\nRose says \"Good Time\" was inspired by a grueling road trip, one unlucky night in Nashville and coping with uncertainty.\n\n\"The idea for this song was born late at night on the side of a road, broken down on I-24 somewhere east of the Land Between the Lakes,\" Rose tells Wide Open Country. \"I had just wrapped many months of touring and was finally headed home to New Orleans from Mineral Point, WI but decided to swing through Nashville to make a quick GemsOnVHS video. That's what happens when I've been on the road too long... a 15+ hour solo drive and to just 'swing through' Nashville seems reasonable. My Subaru had other plans and the engine blew up. I remember thinking how cliché, I wonder how many other songwriters arrived in Nashville tonight on the back of a tow truck...This song is about embracing recklessness and laughing at myself while at the same time being damn scared because it felt like my life was blowing up all around me.\"\n\nHow Many Times is the follow-up to Rose's 2019 sophomore album You Made it This Far.\n\nHow Many Times is available for pre-order here.\n\nFor more information on Esther Rose, visit her official website.",

"A family in Abitibi-Temiskaming, Canada, moved into a new rural house earlier this year. They quickly learned that their barn was home to various wild creatures.\n\nThe cat family had been living there for quite some time, it turned out. Landlady Joanie hurriedly set up warm shelters in the barn, and in the meanwhile planned to capture the kittens and place them in good hands, knowing how harsh Canadian winters can be.\n\nThe lady planned to capture a wild cat mother, sterilize her until she became pregnant again, and then deliver the kittens to animal rights activists. However, no one answered her phone, so she had to write to the Chatons Orphelins Montréal group in Montreal, which was 700 kilometers distant.\n\n“She alerted veterinarians and shelters in Abitibi, but there was no one to help,” says Celine Krom from Chatons Orphelins Montréal.\n\nAfter setting humane traps, one kitten was caught, but the rest were not so simple. A young cat named Jules was shy at first but quickly thawed out to people, having received food and affection.\n\nJoanie, on the other hand, was attempting to apprehend the other furries. A wonderful individual was located who offered to carry the kitten to get medical help right away.\n\n“Jules was a model citizen the entire trip to the vet, then he went to the overexposure for socializing.”\n\n“He immediately found how much fun it was to play with soft toys,” Celine continues, “and even made friends with the neighborhood cats.”\n\nJules also got to experience extended embraces from his foster mother Marilyn, and he was notably more loving as a result. The thrill of being taken up and carried about like a kid was cherished by the former barn dweller.\n\nThe surviving kittens, Junot and Yass, were found safe a few days later, after a lot of patience and determination.\n\nThe two furries were eager to be reunited with their brother Jules after traveling a long distance and seeing the vet.\n\nJoanie not only saved the three, but she also recognized the parents, the cat, and the cat, and considered capturing them for physical reasons.\n\nWild cats and cats will live in a barn that they will consider their home, but there will be someone to care for them, feed them, and keep them warm during the winter.\n\n“Yesterday all the kittens were reunited at the foster home. Yass was very shy after all the trials and changes, but Junot quickly began to run around the house and frolic with her brother Jules, ”says Celine.\n\nJunot follows Jules on his heels and becomes more and more confident every day. Yass is watching everyone from hiding but gradually loosens up.\n\nThey play with the neighborhood cats, eat to their hearts’ content, and sleep soundly in their beds, surrounded by nice blankets.\n\nJules was thrust into the limelight right away. He enjoys conversing with others and spending time with family. He is the one who encourages his siblings to gaze out the window at the birds or play with toys.\n\nThese kittens will never go hungry or shiver in the cold again; instead, they will find loving homes with whom they will never have to deal with the cold!"

"THQ Nordic has been on an acquisition spree, acquiring game developers and intellectual properties. It is digging through that portfolio and now is ready to announce some new titles that should be familiar to fans.\n\nOne of the new ones is Destroy All Humans, a remake of the 2005 title that was developed by Pandemic Studios and published by THQ for PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. Black Forest Games, a studio in Germany, is developing this project.\n\nOnurhan Karaagacli, the development director at Black Forest Games, told me in an interview that the game is a faithful remake of the original. But the team is hard at work on creating brand new art for the title. It’s not clear yet when it is coming out or on what platforms. THQ Nordic is showing the game this week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) show this week in Los Angeles.\n\nI talked with Karaagacli about bringing back what is now a retro favorite. Here’s an edited transcript of our interview.",
null,
"Above: Onurhan Karaagacli is development director at Black Forest Games.\n\nOnurhan Karaagacli: Black Forest is one of the oldest independent developers in Germany. They’re a continuation of Spellbound Entertainment, which dissolved around 2012, if I’m not mistaken. I’ve been at the company for the last two years. Before my time they were famous for platformers and action games — Gianna Sisters and Rogue Stormers are the two titles that come to mind. After that, we’ve quite recently released Fade to Silence, and now we’re working on Destroy All Humans.\n\nDestroy All Humans is pretty early in development right now. It’s been in the works for — I can say for some months. It’s slated to come out in the spring of next year. We’re working in Unreal Engine 4.\n\nGamesBeat: How many people are at the studio right now?\n\nKaraagacli: I don’t recall the last headcount, but we’re close to 65 or 70 people right now. We’ve been growing at a steady pace. Your team has to grow with your ambitions.",
null,
"Above: A new spin on “jetpack joyride.”\n\nGamesBeat: Is there a subtitle to the game, or is it just Destroy All Humans?\n\nKaraagacli: THQ can answer that question better. It’s a complete remake of the original game. I don’t know if it’ll have a tagline eventually, but for now it’s just Destroy All Humans. It’s a pretty iconic name.\n\nGamesBeat: How much of a remake is this?\n\nKaraagacli: It’s a full remake in the sense that we’re staying faithful to the original design, but everything is made from scratch. As you’ve seen, we have the visual strengths of Black Forest coming out. We’ve modernized a lot of the controls, the flow of the run and gun experience.\n\nWe’ve taken bits of features that we know were improvements in the sequel to the first game and put them in. One example is the dash, which was only in the second game. We’ve added that here, and evolved it to have more of a skating motion. If you hold the dash button and press down, Crypto will skate along the ground, which gives you better mobility for shooting stuff. That’s where the fun of the game comes out.",
null,
"Above: Fast as lightning.\n\nGamesBeat: Why did you want to remake this game?\n\nKaraagacli: For us, it’s a natural continuation of what we learned in Fade to Silence as far as the engine, the tech, how to deal with large open spaces, how to deal with the way certain effects have to behave, and so on. Now that we’re under the auspices of THQ Nordic, which owns the IP, it seemed like a good fit. We did a few prototypes that were well-received.\n\nGamesBeat: Was there a certain kind of player that liked the original games?\n\nKaraagacli: The advantage of working on a remake is that it’s been out there for a while, since 2006. You had the two main games, and then two other games followed them. We have access to a lot of information about the strengths and weaknesses of the series in its original conception. The humor comes up as one of the key strengths, for example. It’s humor from 2006, but it seems like it still works. The remade cinematics and the characters, the variety we can add, keeps that alive.\n\nWe’ve also learned that certain parts of the combat weren’t so smooth. In order to modernize that and make sure — every time someone picks up a controller, they have a certain expectation of how it’s supposed to work. As we do that, we improve the game in that regard. But the humor is timeless. We hope it’s going to come out well. The very first joke in the game sets the mood, when he lands and steps on — yeah. We’re hoping it’s going to be interesting.\n\nThe one thing we really want to make sure is always the case in Destroy All Humans is that it’s accessible. It should be a very accessible, run-and-gun combat game that’s not — when you look at it from the top down, it shouldn’t be very difficult. That doesn’t mean the game is shallow. The way the features play together should give you a nice experience. But at its core, it should just be fun destroying humans and human-related stuff.",
null,
"GamesBeat: Are you thinking about doing multiplayer?\n\nKaraagacli: We’re going to stay true to the first one in that regard, so we’re not planning on doing a multiplayer mode just yet.\n\nGamesBeat: Are you aiming for a global market?\n\nKaraagacli: We’ll be localizing the game into about a dozen languages. We expect it to be a global game, hopefully as good as the original game.\n\nGamesBeat: How many hours do you expect it to run?\n\nKaraagacli: That’s a good question. It should be at least 30 or 40, but I wouldn’t quote me on that quite yet. It’s not a short game at all, though. We’re hoping to add a lot of replayability with the open world component. You have challenges. You have upgrades. You might want to destroy stuff with the UFO, or you might want to destroy stuff on foot."

"serrano boyfwend is ready to pick\n\nBoyfriend was bummed out about something a few months back (I think he didn’t land a job he really wanted), so I decided to cheer him up by buying a bunch of herbs to plant in the backyard. We planted them together, and it’s actually been pretty delightful to watch him get excited about tending to them and watching them grow. A common question I pose to him after we’ve eaten or had tea is, “Wanna go smile at the plants?”\n\nI got him two basil, two rosemary, one cherry tomato, and one serrano chile plant, which he has used in the chilli he makes so adeptly. Since this batch of gardening has gone so swimmingly, we added five kale plants to the collection, all of which are thriving (we can’t wait to eat them). So far we’ve eaten something from every plant: Boyfriend eats the basil straight off the vine whenever a tomato ripens, he used the rosemary in a French chicken recipe that I could’ve eaten until I exploded it was AMAZEBALLS, and I use the rosemary and basil for herb butter. The serrano chile made it into his trademark chilli, and Diminutive Friend’s salsa, which she made from tomatoes from her garden in back yard of the house she bought in the Valley (still so proud of her for that).\n\nBoyfriend turned 30 in August, and Diminutive Friend took the opportunity to buy him any hot pepper plant he wanted (he’s a fan of heat). We now have a jalapeno plant that’s just sprouted its first flower (or maybe it’s turning into a little pepper now… I’ll have to check today)."

"Artificially Inflating The Threat From Russia Does Nobody Any Good",

"Much has been written lately about Russia “hacking” the US presidential elections, and how Vladimir Putin’s government is in a new Cold War with the West.\n\nMolly Mckew, who advised Mikhail Saakashvili when he was president of Georgia, writes that the West is already fighting a war in defence of the values on which its liberal order is based. Like many others, she never attempts to define what exactly “The West” is, or what its contradictory state interests add up to. In the Financial Times, meanwhile, Lilia Shevtsova is even more pessimistic. She claims the current situation is without historical precedent, and that current Western strategy “requires ideological clarity, but the ambiguity of the post-Cold War world made the strategy irrelevant”.\n\nCountless pieces like these are churned out in the Anglophone media every day. They share a remarkable deficit of proportion and objectivity; they present what’s happening today as historically unprecedented, an incorrect diagnosis that simply stirs up hysteria and panic.\n\nThey also overlook the pattern that Russian foreign policy has followed since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and often emphasise the individual prowess or genius of Vladimir Putin over the forces of international relations – forces that since 1990 have made much more difference than any individual leader.\n\nAfter the USSR collapsed, Russian foreign policy suddenly became unmoored. Without the organising principles of Soviet communism, its leaders struggled to formulate a coherent grand strategy, instead spending years mired in internal power struggles, crises and economic collapse. Their foreign policy record understandably looks chaotic at first glance, but we can nonetheless detect a pattern to it: a cycle of short phases of increased co-operation followed by longer phases of disillusioned confrontation.\n\nUnder its first post-Soviet leader, Boris Yeltsin, Russia became far more Atlanticist, liberalised its economy, and began to participate in the world democratic order. With Russia economically and militarily on the ropes, the Yeltsin government understood that a turn towards the West was in order. But by the mid-1990s, economic collapse, the first war in Chechnya, and pushback from domestic hardliners turned the government away from the West once again.\n\nBut even at this stage, Russia was economically and militarily much weaker than its Western rivals – and for all that it protested against Euro-American intervention in the Balkans, it tacitly accepted Western hegemony in Europe.\n\nThe second short co-operative phase started around 2001. Just as Russia was mopping up after the second Chechen war, the aftermath of September 11 ushered in a remarkably close tactical alignment between the US and Russia in Central Asia. But again the relationship faltered, this time thanks to the American invasion of Iraq and the colour revolutions in Eastern Europe, which the Russian government saw as a direct threat to its survival. Vladimir Putin chilled any warmth that had crept in with a terse, critical 2007 speech in Munich, and in 2008, things sank to a truly icy level when Russia invaded Georgia.\n\nThe cycle has continued ever since, with the Obama administration’s ill-fated “reset” policy ushering some forms of co-operation but eventually giving way to the renewed froideur we see today. But for all the consternation at Russia’s current activities, including its near-incessant efforts to influence European and American domestic politics, the danger it presents and the singular nature of its behaviour are both greatly overstated.\n\nAs things stand, Russia measures up relatively poorly on the usual metrics of greatness. It is still in demographic decline; its sluggish economy is overly dependent on a bare few industries, and its technological innovation prowess lags far behind the West’s.\n\nRussia has some recent battlefield successes under its belt in eastern Ukraine and Syria, but it has no clear exit strategy for either situation. Both are showing signs of mission creep, and their costs are starting to bite as Islamist terrorism against Russia becomes the new normal. Russia’s military performance is often unsophisticated and beset with operational failures. And that’s without considerable resistance from an organised national army or air force.\n\nAs for Moscow’s supposedly unprecedented global meddling, there is surely no great power on the planet which hasn’t at some point tried to influence the domestic politics of another, or commit espionage even against its allies. That is how great powers have acted since Athens and Sparta went to war.\n\nThere is considerable dispute over how successful Russia’s efforts have been, but even if they have achieved their most extravagant ends, that would mostly indicate that the US and Europe had failed to head them off. A more urgent question, therefore, is to what extent Russia and the West’s core interests overlap.\n\nIn recent years, the West’s strategy has revolved around the imperative to spread, promote or defend “values” rather than narrower geostrategic “interests”. This strategy is near impossible to achieve or sustain, since it demands that the West simultaneously balances itself against China and Russia while somehow stabilising the Middle East and promoting democracy the world over. No great power, including the Soviet Union at its peak, has ever come close to global hegemony; that is a lamentably foolish aspiration.\n\nThe current trend in the West is towards retrenchment. As surveys of public opinion make plain, European citizens are already fed up of their leaders endlessly trying to stabilise the chaotic Middle East at taxpayers’ expense; now they’re growing weary of their governments meddling in what Russia wants to do in its own backyard.\n\nClearly a change is in order. Realism demands that the West treat Russia as a declining great power, with patient caution and respect for its sphere of influence. It also demands that the West defines just what it is and where its core interests lie; until it does so, it’s doomed to clash with other great powers as its vague, values-based interests and alliances overlap with theirs.\n\nRather than neurotically treating every threat as an existential one, today’s Western governments need to remember how international politics was conducted when there really was a Cold War on. In the twilight days of the Soviet Union, George HW Bush – quite possibly the last true realist to serve as US president – declined to interfere in Eastern Europe. He understood that the Soviet Union was doomed, and that as far as the US was concerned, a long game was the most prudent approach. He duly waited for the Eastern Bloc to implode on its own – and so it did.\n\nSumantra Maitra, Doctoral Researcher at the School of Politics and International Relations, University of Nottingham\n\nYou are here: Home > Social & Political > Hostilities > Artificially Inflating The Threat From Russia Does Nobody Any Good\n\nIndia Destroys Its Own Satellite With A Test Missile,…"

"The siege of Khe Sahn was one of the most ferocious and epic battles of the Vietnam War. Ken Rodgers was there and has produced a compelling documentary that everyone should watch: “Bravo! Common Men, Uncommon Valor”. Ken’s documentary features interviews and first-hand accounts with 15 Marines and a Navy Corpsman who survived the battle.",
null,
"Khe Sahn pitted 6,000 Marines and our Vietnamese allies against 20,000 or more communist North Vietnamese troops. 274 US personnel were killed and another 2,541 wounded. Vietnamese losses in the battle are estimated at approximately 5,550 killed.\n\nEarly in the siege, enemy rounds hit the base ammo dump, leaving Marines to dodge not only their adversaries’ incoming rounds but also their own munitions. The fire was so intense that supply aircraft did not come to a halt, with Marines jumping out the back ramp while wounded and body bags were thrown in.\n\nArtillery and Air Support contributed to their survival, with over 100,000 tons of bombs dropped – about 5 tons for every enemy soldier. At one point President Johnson even considered the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Enemy soldiers were tunneling so close that our troops could hear them from the trenches with a stethoscope.\n\nSome of the film’s most compelling scenes show Khe Sahn survivors not speaking but their expressions communicate volumes. Ken emphasizes that while Marine training is top notch, nothing can really prepare one for combat, especially 18-20 year old “boys”.\n\nEventually the base was abandoned, a decision that did not rest well with the Marines who shed so much blood for a position they were told was strategic. Ken also shares the struggles that he and his fellow vets faced upon their return home and moving on with their lives.\n\nTAKEAWAY: “You just don’t know what it’s like to see a 19 year old kid, lay down on his belly in the mud, and stick his rifle in that direction and give you the thumbs up and tell you to go THAT direction. And he knows damn good well he is NEVER gonna get up out of that mud. He KNOWS he’s dying for you.”"

"Gematria is the progressive/instrumental metal duo formed by Ray Suhy (Six Feet Under, Ray Suhy/Lewis Porter Quartet, ex-Cannabis Corpse, ex-East Of The Wall) and Steve Honoshowsky (Daughter Vision, Billy Martin’s Fang Percussion, No Use For Humans). Formed in 2017 out of a mutual respect for each other’s playing, a myriad of shared musical influences and a love for esoteric studies and explorations, they released their five-song eponymous debut EP in 2018.\n\nThe songs on Gematria’s proper full-length, “Gematria II: The Spindle Of Necessity”, were composed using elements of gematria, a qabalistic numerological system of relating words to numbers, the I Ching, sacred geometry and the writings of Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare to help generate rhythmic and melodic ideas. The album presents a combination of intricate King Crimson-esque parts mixed with ambient soundscapes, blistering improvisations, and powerful drumming. The album was recorded by the band throughout 2020/2021 with the drums recorded by Adam Vaccarelli at Retromedia Sound Studios who mixed the album, and mastering was handled by Alan Douches at West West Side Music. The album features a guest electric flute solo on ‘Spindle Of Necessity’ by Melissa Keeling, and a vocal choir on ‘Unconquered Sun’ performed by Emily Grove, recorded by Steve Greenwell. The artwork was created by Steve Honoshowsky and the layout/design handled by Greg Meisenberg.\n\nWe’re excited for everyone to hear the new record. It’s a quick ride at around thirty minutes but it’ll take you to a lot of different places. The record was masterfully mixed by Adam Vaccarelli and the final touches were put on in mastering by Alan Douches. Put it on, stare at the album art and travel the vistas with us.\n\n“Gematria II: The Spindle Of Necessity” will see release through Nefarious Industries on Transparent 8th Sphere Mercurial Orange vinyl and all digital services this Friday, September 23rd. Stream the entire album a day ahead of it’s general release exclusively here on The Progspace:",

"Synge have set the benchmark with an exciting and fierce new offering for all that is heavy. The wait is over, and the Eora/Sydney based four-piece have finally given us their debut EP ‘Vacant Minded’, a relentlessly blistering five-song narrative loaded with anarchic textures and cumbersome themes.\n\n‘Augury’ launches straight into it. A foreboding introduction progresses into uncompromising drumming and convoluted riffage, before Ethan Davies’ menacing vocals take the floor. The swung time in this song adds to the chaotic complexity, and the chorus is merciless in its attack and its depth. Musical brilliance and ominous lyrics open the door for focus track ‘Clarity’. You can sense the wall of sound moments coming but nothing can prepare you for how hard they hit. The EP’s second track is five minutes of metalcore virtuosity that grips you tight and hauls you through the vortex of an intense chronicle.\n\nThe midway point of the EP gives us the debut single ‘Refract’ in what seems like an appropriate time to reflect on beginnings and foundations, with the group’s trademark intricacies permeating the structure and rewarding the listener for each second of attention given, cramming as much aptitude as possible within the span of three minutes. Then ‘Soma’ explodes onto the scene, ferocious with monumental guitars that bite down with extreme intensity, and vivid divergence between gritty and clean vocals. Vicious and savage in its delivery, it sets the stage perfectly for the final track ‘Decay’ to provide a mammoth finale. It caps of a colossal journey through the minds and creative capacities that Synge have to offer, penetrating in their execution and mesmerising listeners with a hypnotising aroma.\n\n‘Vacant Minded’ has further developed Synge’s profile in a fantastic way, with their new music winning over new fans and landing themselves as prime up and comers in a competitive heavy Sydney scene. It’s honest, hard-hitting and riveting; all fans of anything metal will want to get across this new and electrifying contribution from Synge."

"Heavy metal icons Metallica have announced a 2014 summer tour that will see the band trek across Europe. The tour kicks off on May 28 in Helsinki, Finland and wraps up on July 11 in Warsaw, Poland. The tour consists of several festival stops, including a co-headlining stand with Iron Maiden at Sonisphere in Germany, as well as Rock am Ring and Rock im Park with Kings of Leon, Iron Maiden, and Linkin Park. While Metallica are still touring off their 2008 return-to-form album Death Magnetic, the band will be premiering a new song live on tour this summer. In addition, the band will be letting fans select the setlist for the tour. Fans will have the opportunity to vote for 17 songs out of the band’s approximate 140-track catalog that spans their 30-year career. Metallica recently released their first original feature film, Metallica Through The Never. The groundbreaking IMAX movie combined Metallica’s legendary live show with a theatrical story and was praised by fans and critics alike.",

"album Death Magnetic. While the band did not tour as extensively in 2012, with the help of several major festival appearances (including their very own Orion Music + More Festival), they hauled in $86 million. Their last studio effort saw the band return to form. Both heavy and thrashy, it’s a nice mix of …And Justice and Black Album. The disc debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, and has since gone multi-platinum. It was nominated for 5 Grammy Awards, winning two of them (“Best Recording Package” and “Best Metal Performance” for “My Apocalypse”).",

"After Orion Festival 2012, the band jetted off to Mexico City for an epic 8-show run at Palacio de los Deportes (Sports Palace) in Mexico City; the same arena the band played in 1993 on the Black Album Tour, Metallica played 5 shows at the arena and recorded the live CD/DVD box set Live Sh*t! Binge & Purge, and in 2009 for 3 shows on the World Magnetic Tour which were recorded for the Mexico City Live DVD. During the press conference beforehand, Metallica made a couple comments on writing a new record, and the will to get the process started. “We’re not going to start recording, we’re going to start writing,” Lars stated. ”We don’t know what’s inspiring us right now,” said frontman James Hetfield. “I’ve been itching to write for a long time — all of us have — so there’s lots of ideas.” Bassist Robert Trujillo added, “[There are] lots of riffs to jam on, and that’s pretty exciting for us.”.\n\nBack in early June 2012, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett stated in an interview",

Producer Rick Ruben, who won the Grammy for “Producer of The Year – Non-Classical” for his work on Death Magnetic, will once again be leading Metallica’s charge. Metallica released another live DVD from their World Magnetic Tour, Quebec Magnetic, last fall. It was the band’s first release on their own newly founded North American label, Blackened Recordings. In September 2013, the band released their first-ever feature film, Metallica Through The Never, an explosive live concert film combined with an original story line that thrilled fans in IMAX theaters around the world. – by Matt Bishop (Photos Courtesy of Metallica/Ross Halfin Photography)",

"While the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released a tentative admissions schedule for PG medical aspirants hinting at the all-India process kicking off on September 15, no news has been released by the state admissions authority till date.\n\n“Something as simple as an admissions brochure has not been released by the state common entrance test (CET) cell. PG medical aspirants appeared for their exam in May and the result was out on June 2, only to wait for months together for the admissions process to start. Such delay will reflect in students’ academic time,” said Sudha Shenoy, mother and activist.\n\nWhile senior officials from the state CET cell have attributed this delay on pending decision on reservation for other backward classes (OBC) and Economically Weaker Section (EWS) categories in the all-India quota (AIQ) seats for UG and PG medical courses, parents are worried that this delay might also hint at changes to admissions process this year.\n\n“Whatever be the process, we need to be informed about the same in advance. Not only is the CET cell delaying the process, the state Fee Regulating Authority (FRA) too has not yet confirmed the fee structure of medical colleges for UG as well as PG courses. Last minute announcements tend to leave students as well as the admissions authority in a mess,” said Dr Ashu Parekh, a PG medical aspirant.\n\nCAT 2022 registration ends on Sept 14, know how to apply at imcat.ac.in | Competitive Exams"

"Putting their art on vinyl is hopefully ‘music to the ears’ for fans of a local folk music duo.\nCat and Clint comprises of Blackwood residents Cat Moser and Clint Dylan O’Gradey, who both play a variety of instruments including the fiddle, banjo, guitar and mountain dulcimer – the latter a long, fretted instrument with three to four strings that originated in the Appalachian area of America.\nThe duo’s new album, The Days That Used to Be, is reminiscent of Old-Time recordings made in the early 20th century, featuring a range of influences from Blues to Jazz, and cultural influences from Africa, Native America, Ireland and Scotland.\nRecorded at Sound Recordings in Castlemaine, the album aims to transport listeners to a “bygone era of country dance halls and wind-up gramophones.”\nAlthough the duo has played all over Australia and overseas, their home in the thriving artistic community of Blackwood has greatly influenced their music.\n“Blackwood is a real hotspot for music, in particular Old-Time and Bluegrass. We were part of the group that started The Blackwood Music Festival and The Blackwood Revue along with other musical events,” she said.\n“People in the community are very supportive of our musical pursuits and we really appreciate that.”\nOn what they hope the local community will take away from their record, Cat says she hopes it will allow locals to “take pride in their local arts community.”\n“The arts are often undervalued on a federal government level, and it can be really hard to make a living from. This is why we are so grateful when locals are supportive, nurturing and get involved in community events, providing a platform for artists to showcase their talent.”\nThe Days That Used To Be will be launched alongside local mountain music and special guests, on Sunday 16 December, 3pm at the Blackwood Hall. $15/10 entry, kids under/12 free.",

"Several times this year, I have made cryptic mention of a new reporting project I was excited to undertake.\n\nIt’s called “American Futures,” we’re unveiling it today, and over the next few days I will be doing a series of posts to lay out the rationale, the ambitions, the practicalities, and the challenges. Then, early next week, my wife and I will head off for the next stages of reporting.\n\nThe short way of describing this project is to say that it’s a version of the classic American road trip, conducted by air. The longer version involves this background:\n\nSome 13 years ago, my wife and I bought a small propeller plane. Since then we have traveled across the country many times — east to west, north to south. So far we’ve landed in 47 of the Lower 48 states. Mississippi, your time will come. Youlearn odd things through this kind of travel. For instance, America-by-air, from a low enough altitude to notice the details, abounds in three things you’re not as conscious of from the ground: windmills, quarries, and prisons. (It’s easy to spot prisons from the air. And every visitor to America, from at least Dickens onward, has remarked on their abundance.) And on each trip, we’ve spent time in places we would never otherwise have visited and perhaps not known about — Red Oak, Iowa; Scottsbluff, Nebraska; Twin Falls, Idaho. Each time we have felt as if we had learned things about the realities, good and bad, of American life, that we wouldn’t have known without traveling.\n\nThat’s the preface to, and premise for, this project. It is an attempt to tell parts of America’s story that are underrepresented in most news accounts, and where — in our experience — much of the adaptation to America’s next stage of economic, demographic, and social history is taking place. My wife and I have come back from every one of these cross-the-country trips wanting to tell our friends, You won’t believe what we just saw! It was so interesting…. And usually, so encouraging. We want to learn about, and tell, similar stories in a more systematic way.\n\nThree organizations are closely involved as partners in this project. One, of course, is The Atlantic, where I have worked for most of my career and where both print and online reports of our travel will appear. Another is Marketplace from American Public Media, hosted by Kai Ryssdal (also a pilot), which specializes in exploring America’s changing economic realities. And the third is the technology company Esri — less well-known by the general public than the first two, but if anything more dominant and influential in its own realm — which is a pioneer and worldwide leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software. For this project we’re using it both to identify and assess types of cities to visit, and to display theresults through Esri’s brand-new “geo-blogging” software.\n\nThe most crucial partnership, of course, is between me and my wife Deborah Fallows. She is known to the world as a linguist and author of, most recently, Dreaming in Chinese and this popular Atlantic article. She’ll be known through this project for her reports on the practicalities of travel, language-and-life variations across the country, and other themes.\n\nThat’s enough for right now. In the next installment, I’ll say more about the kinds of cities we are planning to visit, and how we’ve chosen them; what’s novel and revelatory about Esri’s technology; how we’ll be working with Marketplace; and, yes, how we think about safety in small airplanes. For the moment, I leave you with one straightforward map, and one video.",

"The map at the left shows the work we’ve done so far. The red indicates the path of a “proof of concept” trip we made in our plane last month to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a city about which you will be hearing a lot more. The blue diamonds mark the cities and small towns that we are lining up for the first “American Futures” swing, through August and early September, starting in a few days. More about them in the next few installments. We’ll be doing this region by region, and initially we are heavy on the upper Midwest and northern Plains areas, because of so many interesting and under-reported developments there. We have another 70 or 80 cities sized up, and I’ll discuss the criteria we have in mind.\n\nThis video was from the mammoth Esri User Conference earlier this month in San Diego, in which I presented to the map-conscious attendees an argument of how we would put geography to work in this effort. It’s introduced by Jack Dangermond, the founder and CEO of Esri — and, by good fortune (as you’ll see in the first half-minute of the clip — at first it will seem that I’m introducing this in humblebrag mode, but keep watching), someone with whom I grew up in Redlands, California, where his company is now based.\n\nThanks for reading and listening; we hope you find this as interesting as we expect it to be; and if you’re a small-town person, we hope to see you and hear your stories sometime soon."

"Several years ago, a study conducted by independent consultants Milliman Inc. concluded that the USA’s healthcare system could save an estimated $86 billion annually by adopting one procedural change: utilizing electronic data interchange (EDI) technology to automate claim filing, status inquiries, referrals, pre-authorizations, and eligibility. $11 billion alone would come just from converting physicians’ offices from paper to electronic claims submissions, with estimated savings of more than $42,000 per year per provider.\n\nThese dollar savings don’t even take into account the extra benefits that would\naccrue from faster payments and turnaround on claim errors, improved cash flow, and patient satisfaction.\n\nNot surprisingly, MD On-Line (MDOL), a proven leader in healthcare information technology transactions, was able to leverage these statistics as it methodically built a customer base of over 38,000 physicians in its first 13 years of existence. That meant that the early-adopting customers had all been converted, leaving a pool of smaller, reluctant prospects for engagement and adoption.\n\nFrom July 2009, six highly motivated and internally trained telesales professionals at MDOL began targeting that high-hanging fruit. The highly successful results demonstrated their ability to build from a strong base and to find innovative ways of exploding sales with the most reluctant prospects.\n\nFour of the ways they achieved this were by:\n\n1. Identifying new strategic selling approaches and closing an average of 430 new customers every month, which grew the total MDOL customer base by more than 20% to over 45,000 in the space of a year;\n\n2. Leveraging relationships with health insurers to secure their lists of\npaper-submitting providers, and developing special offers to attract the most\nreluctant provider offices, including offers of free electronic transactions and packages that enabled offices to file to all insurers affordably;\n\n3. Reaching out to the largest managed Medicaid Plan in the State of New\nYork with a plan for non-emergency transportation providers to submit their taxi or private ambulance charges electronically, thereby totally eliminating a time-wasting and paper-laden process that had been consuming costs for decades.\n\n4. Engaging MDOL’s largest insurer client with a promise to convert 60,000 claims from paper-based physicians to EDI in the first year. The result: Over 1.1 million claims were converted in the first year, and the growing claims volume has spurred a multi-year contract extension, over 3,000 new customers, and monthly revenue increases of over $20,000.\n\nThe telesales team is under the direction of MDOL’s Sales SVP, Nick Dannenbaum. The team is young by almost any company’s standards, with half of them just completing their first year at MDOL.\n\n“To be recognized in this way by The Stevie Awards bodes extremely well for the success of our company's future initiatives,” said Nick Dannenbaum on receiving the award early in 2011. He added: “If this is what the team could accomplish behind our core product that has been on the market for more than a decade, I can't wait to see what they will be able to do with our new products.”\n\nThe team’s next challenge is learning about and selling the Company’s first Practice Management Software, and enlisting customers in the company’s first Electronic Health Records. Both products are designed to drive further cost and time efficiencies for healthcare providers and to transition MDOL’s customers into the next generation of healthcare EDI. Based on their performance, selling new and innovative should be no problem.\n\nNicholas Dannenbaum joined MDOL in 1997 as its first Account Executive, personally securing thousands of customers and signing the Company’s 35 largest insurance/payer clients. Today, Nick is SVP Sales and leads the Telesales, Provider/VAR Sales, and Account Management teams, while playing an integral role in the marketing of MDOL and in shaping the Company’s strategic direction. One of the early visionaries to enter Healthcare EDI, Nick has become one of the industry’s most experienced Healthcare EDI sales and marketing professionals and is dedicated to the training and growth of his teams.\n\nMD On-Line Inc. is a leading provider of electronic data interchange (EDI) solutions that facilitate the critical connection between doctors and payers. Its offerings enable electronic data capture and entry, and claim and transactional data submission to payers. Co-branded and endorsed by more than 30 major insurers and increasing its presence in providers' offices of all sizes, MD On-Line is transacting the business of healthcare, helping to make the healthcare system significantly more cost-effective by eradicating inefficiencies. In addition to claims processing, MD On-Line offers real-time services for eligibility verification, referrals, claim status inquiries, and electronic remittance advice (ERAs). Its \"all-payer\" EDI solutions encompass a network of more than 2,000 payer organizations and are used by more than 45,000 healthcare providers nationwide.

null,
"According to Rolf Warming, an archaeologist and researcher at the University of Copenhagen, the Vikings did not use shield walls in combat. A typical Viking shield was relatively small and light, and used as an active weapon.\n\n– There is a widespread misunderstanding among Viking enthusiasts and us archaeologists that the Vikings have been standing shield by shield forming a close formation in battle, Warming said to the Danish research portal videnskap.dk.\n\nHis research results are supported by archaeological finds, written texts and known Viking fighting techniques that were based on surprise, speed and weapon skills.\n\nWarming, who also is the founder of the Society for Combat Archaeology, has studied how the Vikings fought in battle. He finds no evidence of the use of shield walls in medieval texts or through practical tests.\n\n– The shield wall we see in the popular TV series “Vikings” or “The Last Kingdom” is very nicely made, but unfortunately not true.\n\nAmong other facts, his theory is based upon an archaeological experiment where Warming equipped with armor, helmet and copies of old Viking shields tested different combat situations against an opponent armed with a sharp sword.\n\nThe shield was severely damaged when it was used the same way as in a shield wall, but when Warming used it actively to avoid direct hits from his opponent, the damage was considerably less.\n\nThe archaeologist believes that there must have been far more disadvantages than advantages by using shield walls and that the thin and relatively light Viking shields would not have lasted very long.\n\nIn addition to the practical tests, the researcher also has reviewed a number of historical sources from the Viking Age and the Middle Ages.\n\nHe did not find any descriptions of Viking shield walls.\n\nWarming concludes that the Vikings probably have been individual warriors fighting the enemy actively using their shields, either to avoid being hit by swords or axes, or to hit the enemy with the edge.\n\nIn 2010, an almost complete hand-held shield was excavated at the Trelleborg Viking ring fortress dated to the reign of Harold Bluetooth of Denmark (c. 958 – 986 AD). So far, this is the only complete shield found in Denmark dating back to the Viking Age.",

"Fragments from the Trelleborg shield put together. (Photo: National Museum of Denmark)\n\nWith a diameter of 85 centimeters, eight millimeters thick near the centre and thinning to five millimeters at the edges, the Trelleborg shield was relatively light.\n\nIt is made of seven fir planks, has a hole in the middle and a moderately decorated handle. Originally there must have been a boss, but it was never found.\n\nIf the Trelleborg shield was typical for the Viking Age, it originally was covered with animal skin to make it stronger, and it was probably painted in bright colors.\n\nIn addition to the finding at Trelleborg, there were also found complete shields in the Gokstad ship mound in Norway. The Viking ship was excavated together with a large number of grave goods including sixty-four round shields painted in blue or yellow used as a so-called shield rack to protect the crew against incoming arrows and spears.",
null,
"Two of the sixty-four shields from the Gokstad ship, thirty-two on each side. Every second was painted in yellow or black and the longship must have been a magnificent sight. (Photo: Museum of Cultural History, Oslo)\n\nThe Gokstad shields are like the shield found at Trelleborg relatively thin, and research has shown that they would easily split when struck with arrows, swords and axes.\n\nThis strengthens the theory that they originally were covered with animal skin: The skin shrinks a little when it dries out, something that increases the strength.\n\nBy using animal skin, it was also possible to use relatively thin pieces of wood and thereby keep the weight as low as possible.\n\nHowever, the shields were not strong enough (or big enough) to withstand multiple hits from swords and axes in a shield wall – something that confirms Warming’s theory.\n\nIt is known that the Vikings used a wide range of combat techniques. One of these is the so-called svinfylking (”Swine Array” or “Boar’s Snout”), a version of the wedge formation used to attack and break through enemy shield walls with ax as the primary weapon, something that was creating fear and panic.\n\nThe disadvantage of the svinfylking technique is that it was not working if the attackers had to make a quick retreat.\n\nThe Norse sagas also confirm the Viking mentality: Norsemen were fearless warriors who did not hide behind shield walls while they waited for the enemy to attack.\n\nLike Loading...\n‹ In This Town Shop Owners Leave Their Goods Unguarded on the Street\nThe Myklebust Ship – Norway’s Largest Viking Ship Being Rebuilt ›"

"There was a lovely array of delicious Mediterranean-style foods in the kitchen, but most of the crowd was in the dining room, which had been turned into a mini-jewelry store for the night. The Megemeria Collection, the line of silver and gold jewelry hand made by Ethiopian students for the Israeli brand Yvel, was on full display, and had caught the eye of the guests gathered for the Lion of Judah and Pomegranate Spring Recognition on June 4, graciously hosted by Roberta Epstein in her Allentown home.\n\nEventually, the ladies made their way in to partake of the buffet and bar, including a signature pomegranate cocktail, before settling in to listen to the night’s speaker. Daniel Sahalo, U.S. Manager for Megemeria, was introduced by Iris Epstein and Amy Fels. Epstein reminded the women gathered that through their gifts to the Annual Campaign for Jewish Needs, “we are change agents responsible for changing lives for the better here and all over the world.”\n\nFels echoed the sentiment by “expressing how proud [she is] to be part of this amazing group of women.”\n\nChanging lives, like Sahalo’s. Born in Ethiopia to a farming family of 11 children, his parents sold everything they had just to afford the guide to lead them out of the country, which had been torn apart by civil war. He walked barefoot eight weeks through the desert to a refugee camp en route to Israel, his final destination, which he eventually reached via a four-hour flight packed into a cargo plane through Operation Moses in 1984, at the age of five. His only sister contracted malaria on the journey and died.\n\n“It was all my parents could do to stop, dig a grave to bury her, and continue on,” Sahalo shared.\n\nDespite their hardships, his family did eventually make it to Israel, where they started life over in a strange land of modern conveniences, like toilets and electricity. They believed that all they had gone through was worth it, however.\n\n“The bottom line for my parents was to get a better life for their kids. And, I think they did because look where I am—Allentown,” Sahalo joked.\n\nSahalo grew up in Israel and went on to serve in the Israel Defense Forces in the 101st Paratroopers Brigade. This time, when he saw the army plane, it was with pride knowing that he was going to be riding in it to serve his new home.\n\nAfter enrolling in the officers’ academy, he finished his active service as a captain. He is still in the reserves today, though he went on to Hebrew University and studied international relations. He worked for the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee for almost 20 years, coordinating programming for older adults all over Israel. Now, however, he is dedicating himself full-time to the mission of the Megemeria School of Jewelry & Art, run by Yvel, helping other immigrants like himself.\n\n“About four years ago, I visited a very unique place,” said Sahalo. That was Megemeria, started by Orna and Isaac Levy in 2010 to serve single Ethiopian mothers in their 30s-50s in Israel. It has grown and is now open to all immigrants needing help at a fresh start in the promised land. Twenty-one students each year receive a monthly stipend so they can focus on learning gold-, silver- and gemsmithing, as well as other skills to help them with acculturation into life in Israel. Meaning “Genesis” in Amharic, the native language of Ethiopia, Megemeria offers its students the opportunity for a bright new beginning in life.\n\nThe ladies gathered at Roberta’s house watched a short video telling them about how Isaac Levy was also an immigrant himself, making aliyah from Argentina, and hoping to make high-end jewelry in Israel. His wife Orna grew up around pearls. Together, the couple are now a dynamic team creating beauty in both their wearable artwork and with the social impact of Megemeria. The Levys are proud that today over 90 percent of Yvel’s more than 100 employees are immigrants hailing from 23 countries. Many are graduates of the school, employed to design and create a jewelry collection inspired by their personal journeys of longing and renewal. All proceeds from sales of the Megemeria collection benefit the school and social business, ensuring that Megemeria continues to cultivate positive social change.\n\nSahalo ended the night with answering questions from the group. He reminded them that “Israel is the America of the Middle East—people will do anything to get there.” That made the shopping which followed at the pop-up jewelry store in the dining room a meaningful moment of tzedakah, as the Lehigh Valley women connected with and supported the immigrant artisans in Israel through picking out and buying their beautiful gifts. In addition to their own purchases, each guest received a silver and pearl necklace as a favor and reminder of the work of Megemeria."

"STRICTLY Come Dancing pro dancer Dianne Buswell will likely be watching the rest of the BBC competition from her sofa.\n\nShe and her celebrity partner Robert Webb QUIT the show this week as the comedian revealed he was suffering from serious health complications.",
null,

"It meants that Dianne, 32, can spend more time relaxing in her countryside home – the perfect spot to watch the rest of the 2021 competition.\n\nThe Aussie dancer recently moved into the huge mansion with boyfriend Joe Sugg, who she met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018.\n\nThe couple swapped their flat and bustling life in London for the quiet countryside spot – and their first home together – earlier this year.\n\nDianne and Joe, 30, annunced the news with a snap from the bottom of their huge garden, which features a huge lawn and decking area.\n\nThe outdoor terrace features a weather-proof sofa and hanging chair set, perfect for sitting out in the evening and taking in the impressive views.\n\nInside the home, Joe and Dianne have already made their stamp – switching out the plain decor for patterned furniture and bold colours.\n\nThe open-plan living and dining area features a bright blue sofa and dozens of plants, as well as a grey book shelf and cork side table.\n\nWhile a huge dining table is surrounded two wooden benches, made comfortable with fluffy throw blankets, beside the huge windows.\n\nMeanwhile, the kitchen is a stark contrast to the other rooms – fitted with black furnishings and accessories and a black tile wall.\n\nFinishing feminine touches including vases of flowers and neatly-placed candles are dotted around throughout the downstairs space.\n\nUpstairs, Joe and Dianne have decorated their bedroom with green plant-printed wallpaper to match their green and white bed covers.\n\nBeside a large white dressing table for Dianne's belongings is an open set of shelves where the star stores her bags and shoes.\n\nThe home looks like the perfect place for the star to relax after she and her dance partner Robert Webb stepped back from Strictly.\n\nThe comedian and his professional dance partner Dianne released a statement confirming their departure due to his ill-health.\n\nRobert, 49, has since taken to social media to update fans on the difficult decision, insisting he \"didn't have a choice\" but to step back from Strictly.\n\n\"Very sad to be leaving but didn’t really have a choice,\" he wrote to his fans. \"I'm going to be just fine once I've had a good rest.\"\n\nThanking fans for their kind words, he concluded: \"Very proud of these dances and will be forever in the debt of the luminous Dianne Buswell.\"\n\nRobert added a series of photos of himself and Dianne, 32, both on and off the floor – including their week three 'The Muppets' themed dance.\n\nIn the comments, the Aussie pro dancer gushed over her partner, calling him \"epic\" as she told his following he \"did her proud\".\n\n\"You were epic, invoice is on its way to you!\" she jibed. \"All jokes aside you did me very proud. Specially that tango, one of my fave I have ever done [sic].\"\n\n?Follow our Strictly Come Dancing live blog for all the latest updates\n\nRobert said in a statement: “I’m extremely sorry to have to announce that I’m withdrawing from Strictly Come Dancing due to ill health.\n\n\"Two years ago I had open heart surgery and although I believed I was fit enough to take on Strictly and its demanding schedule, it became clear that I had bitten off way more than I could chew for this stage in my recovery.\n\n\"I had begun to feel symptoms that led me to seek an urgent consultation with my heart specialist, and it was her view that it would be better for the sake of my health to step back from the show.\"\n\nHe added: \"I’m proud of the three dances that Dianne and I managed to perform and deeply regret having to let her down like this.\n\n\"I couldn’t have wished for a more talented partner or more patient teacher, and it’s a measure of Dianne’s professionalism and kindness that I was able to get as far as I did.\n\n\"Thanks too to everyone at home who voted for us. It was always going to be a difficult mountain to climb (for one thing it’s made of glitter so it’s very skiddy) and I’ve been especially touched by the support from fellow heart patients.\n\n\"I think perhaps I was too eager to impress them. They will know that recovery doesn’t always go in a straight line, and I hope they’re not too disappointed that I ran into the limits of my resilience much sooner than I’d hoped.\n\n\"I leave knowing that Strictly viewers are in very safe hands and I’ll be cheering for my brother and sister contestants all the way to Christmas.\n\n\"Despite this sad ending, it has been a genuine honour to be part of this huge, joyful and barking mad TV show. Long may it continue.”\n\nThe Peep Show star opened up about his congenital heart defect earlier this month, where he revealed he could barely walk last year after having emergency surgery to save his life.\n\nHe said at the time: “When I first came out of hospital I could not walk to the end of the street without help. I couldn’t even lift a kettle for four weeks.\n\n“So gradually you build up again until you are doing longer and longer walks. Then seven months later the walks turn into runs — and then you become a dancer.\n\n“This was not the first time they asked, and I knew there would be a collision between me and Strictly very likely to happen in the future.\n\n“But it goes back to the heart surgery — now I think I have got something to offer this show.”\n\nOpening up about his diagnosis, the father-of-two shared: \"It’s a birth defect — one of the valves in my heart had prolapsed instead of opening and shutting nicely. It had almost doubled in size, it was this really weird shape and it was doing all this just to keep the show on the road.\n\n“My heart thought that I was running up a hill when I was asleep, and I had not noticed. I thought: ‘Well, I am tired, as I treat my body like a skip.’\n\n“I saw a cardiologist and they said I had ‘severe regurgitation’ — that the blood that should have been pushed around my body was flowing back-wards into a different chamber, causing all sorts of trouble.”\n\nRobert feared he \"wouldn't make it to Christmas\" as he recalled: “The cardiologist told me: ‘I am not saying you are going to have a heart attack in the next fortnight but if we don’t fix it in the next two to three months this heart will fail.’\"\n\nThe star explained that he had also been “slow-killing” himself with alcohol, increasing the amount he was consuming to the point where he believed he had become addicted.\n\nBut his near-death experience, and being taken into hospital, gave him the shock he needed. He said: “It does give you a different perspective, because I had been trying to give up drinking and smoking for the last five, six or ten years and found it really difficult.\"",

"Ryan Daunt is one of those talented Marauders. The rising sophomore was picked as one of 18 players to represent the South Region at IMG Academy this December, where he'll join 71 of the other top U-16 players in the country to try out for the National team. If he makes that National team, he's Barcelona bound to represent the USA as one of the top 18 players in his age group.\n\nGetting to this point is something only five Leon County soccer players have ever done, and Ryan said making it this far is a dream come true.\n\n\"All the work paying off since I was two, just to see the progress, the build up, the extra work,\" he said. \"I'm very fortunate to be one of those 72.\"\n\n\"I'm really crossing my fingers that Ryan really has that a good chance to make it to the next level and make it to that National pool,\" added Andy Warner, the head coach at Maclay. \"We've only had two make the U17 National team. He's getting closer.\""

"I finally sorted out the way I want to paint the Horse Grenadiers after studying several pictures on the internet to work out how best to do the lace. I resorted to this because even with the original Hinton Hunt painting instructions I found it very hard to make out what had been sculpted on the figure. I’m happy with it now even if it wasn’t exactly what Marcus Hinton intended when he created them.\n\nVintage Waterloo continues to take a fair bit of my time but at least all the figures are now with (or on their way to) their painters. It’s been great to involve others who appreciate these figures in the painting process and without them Roy and I would have little chance of putting on anything other than a skirmish game.\n\nI’ve been thinking about ways to adapt and streamline my rules Muskets & Marshals for use in the game. Roy and I have never tried anything bigger than ten or so units per side and Vintage Waterloo is likely to have quite a few more than that. We also need to get a result within eight turns and of course it wouldn’t be Waterloo without a decent massed cavalry charge or two, an attack by the Old Guard and the arrival of the Prussians – quite a lot to fit into the time.\nPosted by Stryker at 12:56 19 comments:\nLabels: French, Guard, Heavy Cavalry, Vintage Waterloo\n\nThere hasn’t been a lot of painting going on here recently because I have turned my attention to feverishly stripping, filing and repairing figures. This is because, not to be outdone by Roy, I too have called for help to paint up extra forces ready for Vintage Waterloo.",
null,
"All stripped and nearly ready to go off to Lee, not sure which regiment yet but I quite fancied yellow facings.\n\nLee has agreed to paint a unit of British line infantry for me, this will be another mixed figure unit similar to the Guards unit I already have. All the figures in this one will be vintage ones and will include the fifer from Steve and the Guards officer from Jack – I’ll have to come up with some sort of backstory for this, perhaps he returned late from the Duchess of Richmond’s ball and couldn’t find his own regiment?",
null,
"Roy and I decided that we would go for 12 figure cavalry units for 'Vintage Waterloo' but I may need to tweak my rules a bit to allow for this.\n\nMatt in NZ will be painting two squadrons of Prussian Lancers – six lovely vintage HH Ulans and six Der Kreigspieler Landwehr. All of these figures originally came for Don in the US so by the time they get back to me again they will probably be the most travelled toy soldiers in the world!",
null,
"My only bit of painting for the last two weeks. These lads will be combined with a squadron of Roy's Empress Dragoons to make a Guard heavy cavalry unit.\n\nBut I haven’t given up painting entirely as I have been working away on my test figure of FN/300 Horse Grenadier Guard (on horse FNH/2). As usual this Hinton Hunt mounted figure is a bit tricky to animate with the famous disappearing detail on his lace – still a bit more work to do.\n\nOh, and did I mentioned that Matt UK has come out of retirement and will be turning out Mr Sharpe and the 95th Rifles together with some British Light Dragoons, plus a surprise item…\nPosted by Stryker at 16:00 7 comments:\nLabels: Der Kreigspieler, Vintage Waterloo\n\nFinally finished off and based up – the 42nd Black Watch on parade.

If you haven’t already seen them take a look here at Matt’s blog and here at Lee’s blog.\n\nSo the pressure is on – next up for me will be a squadron of Grenadiers-a-cheval of the Guard who will be brigaded with my Polish Guard lancers for the game.\nPosted by Stryker at 16:34 22 comments:\nLabels: British, Scots, Vintage Waterloo\nNewer Posts Older Posts Home\nSubscribe to: Posts (Atom)"

"Sea of Dragons is a module for the Harpoon 4 Naval Rules System.\n\nSea of Dragons concerns conflicts among 16 nations of the Pacific Rim, all of whom have their own agenda and means to try to advance it. The scenario book includes a brief introduction to the political and economic aspirations of the potential belligerents, and is followed by a discussion of their capabilities and military plans for the immediate future. There are 4 scenario sets containing a total of 26 engagements, many of which are suitable for solitaire play. The scenarios can be played individually or as part of a mini-campaign. And just in case 26 scenarios are not enough, a scenario generator for the hotly contested Spratly Islands is also included.\n\nThe fleet and air force lists contain all the platforms currently in service plus those expected to come on line over the next few years. Rounding things out is an extensive bibliography and reference section and errata for Harpoon 4 rules and data annex.\n\nThe Data Annex contains almost every platform available since 1980 as well as quite a few older ones that are now out of service. The vast majority of the data on the weapons and sensors are new and have previously not been listed in Harpoon 4. This wealth of information will allow the modern naval enthusiast to explore various combinations of systems, much as the nations involved do when preparing threat analysis."

"First to Leave Before the Sun\n\nA few years ago my very talented musician friend, Dave Tilton, surprised me when he announced he'd written a novella. I was surprised to learn that he'd been writing, and delighted with how good the book was. But novellas are notoriously difficult to publish. Dave's book took place in Manteca, California, and I had just finished, coincidentally, a novella that comes to an end in the neighboring town of Modesto. So, we put the two novellas together in this little volume, mashing up the titles.\n\nMy novella, First to Leave, is an imagining of my grandfather's quest to bring his young family to California during the early years of the Dust Bowl. I like to think of it as a more intimate view of the Okie migration.\n\nDave's Before the Sun is a coming-age-tale centered around baseball, god, and sugar beets. It is tender, hilarious, and a stark portrait of the great upheavals that shook so many families during the 1960s.\n\nfrom First to Leave:\n\nZachariah Taylor Macoby sat on his haunches on the edge of the cotton field and knew that the land had passed him by again, knew that it had never been his and never would be. He did not allow himself to think too long on the latter because that thought might stop him here on this dead land and keep him from moving, strand him. When he had brought his wife, two sons, and baby daughter to Oklahoma from Texas, he had done so because he had heard there was share land available and that you could work your way to buying it. In 1900, his father and mother had moved the family from Virginia to Texas on the same promise. Always the promise, the land would be yours.\n\nHe scratched his name in the dirt with a broken hollow branch and gently blew on the dust until his name disappeared. He saw and knew and directed the irony of the gesture, and in that gesture and the knowing of it lay the certainty of the family moving again. He had stopped hoping and began to make fun of himself and his place in the world."

null,
"After a brief battle with coronavirus, Metropolitan Magistrate Kamran Khan held court for one day even as lawyers at Dwarka District court pleaded with him to take rest.\n\nKhan (32), however, put his foot down and held court via a virtual link, granting bail to a man accused in an Arms Act case. It was to be his last act as metropolitan magistrate as his condition quickly deteriorated and he was shifted to an ICU.\n\nKhan died in the wee hours of Tuesday at VIMHANS hospital.\n\nLawyers who attended his court proceedings remembered the judge as “jovial, intelligent and a bold decision maker”. They also shared fond memories of the avid cricketer, who used to turn up for practice matches with junior lawyers and held no grudge even after finishing on the losing side of the cricket match between the judges and advocates in February this year. While many recalled his prowess with both the bat and ball on a cricket field, most remembered him as being a patient judge whose courtroom saw few outbursts and more sound and well-meaning advice.\n\nKhan was unmarried and the only child of his parents. He was earlier posted at a local court in Haryana after graduating from Delhi University.\n\nEventually, he made his way into Delhi after being posted as a Metropolitan Magistrate in Saket District Court. In January, he was transferred to Dwarka District Court. Khan majorly dealt with cases pertaining to Immoral Traffic (Prevention Act), Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, Delhi Development Act and cases from Palam police station and Traffic circle of Mayapuri Palam Airport that were brought to his court’s notice.\n\nJai Singh Yadav, secretary, Dwarka Bar Association, said despite being a magistrate, Khan struggled to find a hospital bed. He first learnt of his illness at the start of April and was admitted at Max Hospital. “The senior most judges at Dwarka District Court had to intervene to find him a bed. He recovered and held court for one day where he granted bail to an accused. However, his condition deteriorated and he was admitted to the ICU unit where he died,” Yadav said.\n\nRajesh Kumar Kaushik, the vice president of the bar association, rued the loss of a “young, good natured judge”. “He was so fit. That is the saddest part. He was an avid cricketer,” Kaushik said.\n\nLawyers who knew Khan said that he, unlike most young metropolitan magistrates, used to take quick decisions, sometimes granting bails in criminal cases the very day they came up in court.\n\nYadav said that a station house officer of Delhi Police was recently pulled up by Khan for not registering an FIR in a domestic dispute case and as the SHO apologised in open court, Khan was back to his calm self again.\n\n“He was like that. We got many complaints against judges over the years. But in his tenure, we did not get a single complaint against him. Not once did a lawyer say that his order was unreasonable or that he behaved rudely with them,” Yadav said.\n\nAuto driver charged with rape of US tourist in Punjab\n\nThe Mysore Brothers delighted audience with a violin duet in Thrissur"

"Domaine François Raveneau is known for Chablis that falls nothing short of perfection. Controlling many of the most esteemed sites in the appellation, the wines have a magnificence to which even the most loyal red wine aficionado would have to succumb. Founded in 1948, Raveneau shifted direction when he acquired new vineyards through his marriage, becoming the first in his family to bottle and sell wines made from his own vines. The 20-acre domaine now holds three grand cru (Blanchot, Les Clos and Valmur) and six premier cru sites (Montée de Tonnerre, Les Vaillons, Butteaux, Chapelot, Montmains, and Forêt) in Chablis. In 2007, a newly acquired parcel of village-classified Chablis was added to the portfolio. Most of the vines are 30+ years old, with some in Montée de Tonnerre as old as 50 years or more. The domaine is one of the few that still harvests by hand. After harvesting, the grapes are immediately pressed and settled for 12 hours. Fermentation in indigenous yeast follows in cuve, with malolactic conversion proceeding at its own pace. The wine is then aged in small oaks barrels for up to a decade. Raveneau’s premier crus are almost as esteemed as its grand crus, with Montée de Tonnerre and Chapelot considered some of the top wines in all of Chablis. All the wines are creamy, buttery, and slightly perfumed. In a word, divine."

"It’s been interesting to see the recent posts relating to the 45th anniversary of the inauguration of the Uniting Church on 22 June. I saw largely positive commentary, as well as a handful of more negative observations. All in all, it was time to consider and identify some key factors, both positive, and negative.\n\nIn the midst of all of this, I am thinking that it must be time for another post about organisation and governance in the Uniting Church in Australia. So this is a blog about the word THE.\n\nYes, that’s right: THE. Specifically, about the meaning and significance of that little word “the” in one sentence in a church document: the Basis of Union, the founding document for the church that I belong to, the Uniting Church in Australia (formed in 1977).\n\nThe particular sentence that I intend to focus on is found in paragraph 15(a) of the Basis. It reads: The Congregation is the embodiment in one place of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, worshipping, witnessing and serving as a fellowship of the Spirit in Christ.\n\nNow, the word “the” actually appears four times in this sentence. However, it is the second of these four occurrences that is in my focus of attention: “the embodiment”.\n\nThe, in English grammar, functions as a definitive article; it sits before a noun and gives shape, specificity, definition to the noun that follows. So, “the cat” refers, not just to any old cat, but to that particular cat which I can see before me, sitting on the mat (yes, that particular mat, as opposed to any old mat).\n\nThe little word “the” thus has a specifying role, defining a particular thing for our consideration, in distinction from the great mass of other things just like it that we are not considering. “The” can thus place an emphasis on the singularity and particularity of the item that is so qualified.\n\nBut “the” can also be a generalising term, placed in front of a noun without any intention to give it concerted specificity. In this instance, the word “the” just has the generalised of kind of smoothing out the sentence. “Cat sat on mat” sounds clunky. “The cat sat on the mat” has a rounder and fuller feel to it, without ever intending to refer to THIS specific cat sitting on THAT particular mat. It’s actually a generic reference to what cats do when they find a mat. ANY cat. ANY mat.\n\nSo, when we turn to the section of the Basis of Union that deals with Governance, we first should note that the Congregation is not defined as a council. The Council (that is, the governing body) in a local context is named in the Basis as “the Elders or Leaders Meeting”. In practice, it was often called “the Parish Council”.\n\nSome time after the Basis was written, the Assembly of the UCA determined that this body would be called the Church Council. It consists of “the minister and those who are called to share with the minister in oversight”. That oversight is the governance function of the Church Council, which is clearly identified and defined as being “the council within a congregation or group of congregations”.\n\nThere are three other councils which are so identified in paragraph 15 of the Basis: the Presbytery (“the district council”), the Synod (“the regional council”), and the Assembly (“the national council”). Together with the Church Council, these four bodies have responsibility for governance, the oversight of the various matters specified and allocated to each council in turn.\n\nNow, the Congregation is not a Council. But it is an integral part of the Church. The Basis says that it is “the embodiment in one place of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”.\n\nDoes this means that the Congregation, as “the embodiment in one place of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”, is THE one and only way, THE pre-eminent way, THE most significant way, that the church is made manifest, or embodied, in human society? I have heard and read this claim many times, over the four decades that I have been active within the church. It is a commonly held (mis)belief.\n\nSuch a claim places an inordinate amount of emphasis on that little word “the”. It invests it with a priority sense, with an exclusive connotation—this is THE Church, the one and only way that it exists. This is a huge claim.\n\nAnd it is often spoken in contexts where decisions of the Presbytery, or the Synod, or the Assembly, are in contention. The implication is clear: THEY are not really the Church. THIS, the Congregation, this is the Church!\n\nAnd so, with the other entities mentioned in the Basis. These entities are clearly part of the church, as well. They may well also be understood to embody the church, as each one exercises its responsibilities and carries out its duties in the prescribed areas allocated to it. They give expression to the church as much as the Congregation does.\n\nIndeed, other entities which have developed and evolved since the time that the Basis was written (in the mid-to-late 1960s) are clearly a part of the church as well. We cannot afford to invest that little word “the” with the sum totality of what we understand the church to be. The church is also aged care facilities, preschool centres, meals for the homeless programmes and theological training colleges, chaplains to the Defence Force and chaplains to those ill and in hospital, mental health chaplains and Frontier Service Padres—and much, much more.\n\nSo I recoil when I hear or read that the Congregation is THE Church, prioritised, privileged, and exclusively THE Church. It’s not. It is an important, local, expression of what we understand the Church to be.\n\nA personal postscript: I have a clear and firm commitment to the life of the Congregation, having participated actively for over 40 years in the life of seven congregations in Australia (and three more whilst studying in the USA, and in a Methodist Circuit whilst living for a year in the UK). During that time I have been a member of four Church Councils, two times a Treasurer, and once a Church Council chairperson.\n\nMuch of the time I have done those roles whilst being engaged in fulltime theological education and presbytery oversight roles. My current position is fully focussed on resourcing, supporting, encouraging, and even challenging Congregations and Church Councils in their life, service, and witness.\n\nI’ve been privileged to have been a member of a Congregation which had a strong Congregational heritage. In fact, it was the home Congregation of the sole Congregationalist lay member of the Joint Commission on Church Union, Maynard Davies. I understand that Mr Davies was the member who pressed for the inclusion of paragraph 11 in the Basis of Union.\n\nThat’s the paragraph that affirms that the Uniting Church will remain open to new insights which emerge from scientific thinkers, historical researchers, our encounter with other cultural customs, and our engagement with people from societies different from our own.\n\nThis, of course, is a really important element in the theology and practice of the UCA—from this strong Congregational heritage, a progressive and engaged church has developed. The policies and values that have been promulgated by Synods and Assemblies over the decades owe much to this commitment, and to the ongoing work that has been done within “the wider church” in such areas. All from a strong Congregational ethos!\n\nSo I think it is entirely possible to value the local expression of church whilst engaging in and supporting broader expressions. All of this is us, as we say."

Below are all stats like net worth, salary, profession, and more!\n\nNet Worth of Chris Elliott\n\nChris Elliott net worth: Chris Elliott is an American actor and comedian who has a net worth of $10 million. Chris Elliott is most widely recognized for his television and film work in such project as, “Everybody Loves Raymond”, “There’s Something About Mary”, and “Dance Flick”. He also wrote for “The Late Show with David Letterman” and appeared as a character in various skits for the show in the 90s. He was born Christopher Nash Elliott on May 31, 1960, in New York City. Being the youngest child of comedian Bob Elliott, the more wooden half of the comedy duo ‘Bob and Ray’, Chris was introduced into the world of comedy by his father. However, he managed to make a name for himself away from his father’s shadow, by developing his unique offbeat kind of humor that in turn acquired him faithful following. Even though Chris Elliott made his comic career debut as a standup comic, he first got recognition from the wide public and critics as a writer and performer on Late Night With David Letterman. Actually, he was one member of Letterman’s writing team who helped the show set a new level of ironic comedy, winning two Emmys in the process. It was also the time when Elliott’s acting career took off. Later on, he could be seen on the hit TV series “Get A Life”, as well as he landed recurring roles on the sitcoms “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “How I Met Your Mother”. As for his feature turns, they include appearances in movies like “Cabin Boy”, “Scary Movie 2”, “There’s Something About Mary” and “Groundhog Day”, among others. Nowadays, he puts his comic talents on full display as Chris Monsanto in a parody on cops show titled “Eagleheart”, which is currently in its third season.\n\nHow is it that Chris Elliott has a net worth of $10 Million? These quotes by the actor may indicate the character traits that led to his financial situation:\n\nI don't get offered many dramatic roles. As soon as my face pops up in a movie, everyone knows I'm the funny guy.",

"I think the whole idea of me was that I wasn't going to be but that I wanted to be, desperately.\n\nBut I don't think I was ever destined to be a big star.\n\nThat's what keeps me up at three in the morning: Who's looking at reviews of Cabin Boy right now?\n\nSomehow, by just continually pestering the general public by appearing on television, they accepted me and wanted more.",

"Time to reflect a little now that our 2019 Track Enterprises season came to an end. A big thanks to everyone who helped make the year a success!\n\nAmong the highlights were the return of ARCA to 5 Flags Speedway in March and the overall return to racing for the Milwaukee Mile at Wisconsin State Fair Park. Fans came out in big numbers with great racing at both places. The Milwaukee Mile crowd was especially good considering it was the coldest high temperature recorded for that day in history. Low 50’s during the month of June and the place still had an outstanding crowd!\n\nOf course, one of the biggest turnouts of the year came at the Hoosier 100 at the Indy Mile. It was announced that the 2019 running of the event would be the last as pea gravel would be put down to make it an all weather track for the horses and to allow more room for parking on the infield. This was a sad day for race fans, which filled the stands and infield for one of the bigger turnouts in many years.\n\nTrack Enterprises was again the promotion company at the Terre Haute Action Track, which saw ten events on the 2019 schedule. After a great 2018 season, weather was a big of an issue in 2019, taking a few of the events including the AMA motorcycle event as well as the World Of Outlaw Sprint Cars. Great crowds were on hand for the races which were completed, including the Dorsett Automotive Indiana Sprint Week, the other USAC events, and the WoO Late Model/Summer National event.\n\nOf course, we have to mention two of Track Enterprises’ signature events, the state fair races. 2019 saw the ARCA Menards Series return to the Illinois State Fair at Springfield, however, rainfall took the Bettenhausen 100 twice, making us wait another year before seeing the Champ Cars on the Springfield Mile. At Du Quoin, both series returned with amazing racing action featuring two night’s of action under the lights, much to everyone’s liking.\n\nLooking ahead to 2020, scheduling is already underway with all of the major short track organizations, preparing for an even better season. Seven ARCA Menards Series events are already on the docket with a good number of USAC Silver Crown races as well. The state fair races will be back at Springfield and Du Quoin and a day of racing at the Milwaukee Mile will be back as well. At this time, it looks as though the Track Enterprises schedule will have in upwards of 30 events at 14 venues in 9 different states."

"In October 2013 the Independent Local Government Review Panel released its final report ‘Revitalising Local Government’. The report made 65 recommendations including proposed mergers between metropolitan councils in Sydney. As part of these recommendations the Panel‟s preferred option for Willoughby is to amalgamate with neighbouring councils Lane Cove, North Sydney, Mosman, Hunters Hill and part of Ryde.\n\nAt the recent Northern Sydney Councils’ Fit for the Future Symposium, held on 5 February at The Concourse Civic Pavilion, it was noted that addressing „Scale and capacity is the first hurdle in Fit for the Future documents, financial sustainability is subordinate‟ and that „Under Fit for the Future, a council is deemed to have scale and capacity if the Panel‟s recommended amalgamation configuration is adopted. No justification is provided by government, or required from the councils that are to merge‟. The option of forming Joint Organisations is available to rural councils, however this option has not been extended to metropolitan councils.\n\nFurther, at the Fit for the Future Symposium it was evident that while some councils have resolved to either accept or reject the proposed amalgamations, others, including Willoughby, are yet to make a decision on their position. The key point made at the Symposium was that „The Government‟s objective is that there are amalgamations in Metropolitan Sydney to significantly reduce the number of councils‟.\n\nHunters Hill: Position to be confirmed at Council meeting within the next month.\n\nNorth Sydney: North Sydney Council‟s current position is that; „Council has affirmed it is fit for the future as a stand-alone council, but has agreed to hold discussions with neighbouring councils and to explore other options. A public meeting is to be held on 23 February to discuss options.\n\nRyde: Extraordinary General Meeting held Tuesday 17 February, Ryde – at the time of preparing this report – proposed to reaffirm its objection to forced amalgamations.\n\nHornsby: At 12 November 2014 meeting Council resolved to „undertake discussions with our neighbouring councils regarding the possibility of merging with one or a number of those councils to create a new entity which meets the Scale and Capacity requirements of the Government.‟\nA further report is to be prepared in early 2015.\n\nKu-Ring-Gai: 25 June 2013 Council resolved: A. That Council not proceed with discussions on amalgamation as the disadvantages for Ku-ring-gai residents far outweigh any perceived advantages. B. That we encourage and participate with NSROC in investigating opportunities to increase the range of resource and services sharing.\n\nIt is therefore suggested that Councillors hold a workshop to clarify the options and to ascertain a preferred position. This workshop is scheduled for the first week in March and forms part of the attached timelines."

"Aside from coming up with new ideas to further boost its vehicle line-up, Ford is also making an initiative to improve public mobility. As such, the Blue Oval brand introduced its vision “City of Tomorrow” at this year’s North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).\n\nFord is currently working with various cities around the world to address urban environment mobility challenges through its City Solutions team. Furthermore, the team is said to begin collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies and its global coalition of mayors to help find solutions for the growing challenges in mobility.\n\nFord Motor Company’s executive chairman Bill Ford recognizes this issue as far beyond traffic congestion. He further noted that this serves as a massive challenge to mankind, so as it will affect the public’s access to health care, as well as residential and business areas.\n\nBy solving the mobility challenge, we have the chance to create a better world for future generations. It’s both an exciting opportunity and a big responsibility”, says Bill Ford.\n\nOf note, the City of Tomorrow aims for near-term solutions and mobility advancements, which include autonomous and electric vehicles, ride-sharing and ride-hailing, and connected vehicles. An example of such is reconfigurable roads which fluidly respond to the commuter’s needs, as well as the traffic flow.",
null,
"Moreover, the vision involves near term and long term plans, of which both play a huge role as Ford envisages the future. Near term plans include autonomous, electric vehicles (EV), and connected cars communicating with each other. Long term, on the other hand, involves mass transits for largest cities, and drones to monitor and map areas after serious calamities.\n\nIt is a bright and positive future in the eyes of Ford as it expects a hit in more electrified vehicles for the next 15 years. Furthermore, its vision expands to the introduction of autonomous vehicles in more cities around the world, and along with this is their plan to introduce their first fully-autonomous vehicle line sometime in 2021."

"Good Bless the Child (originally written by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog), is from the album The Illinois Concert, a live jazz recording of a 1963 concert by Eric Dolphy, released first in 1999 by Blue Note Records.\n\nEric Allan Dolphy, Jr. (June 20, 1928 – June 29, 1964) was an American jazz alto saxophonist, flutist, and bass clarinetist. On a few occasions he also played the clarinet, piccolo, and baritone saxophone. Dolphy was one of several multi-instrumentalists to gain prominence in the 1960s. He was also the first important bass clarinet soloist in jazz, and among the earliest significant flute soloists. His improvisational style was characterized by the use of wide intervals, in addition to using an array of extended techniques, to reproduce human- and animal-like effects which almost literally made his instruments speak. Although Dolphy’s work is sometimes classified as free jazz, his compositions and solos were often rooted in conventional (if highly abstracted) tonal bebop harmony and melodic lines that suggest the influences of modern classical composers Béla Bartok and Igor Stravinsky.",

"This installment will be a direct sequel to the original 1992 film and has been described as a spiritual sequel.\n\nUnfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic that’s forced cinemas across the world to shut down, Universal will no longer be releasing Candyman on that date.\n\nProduced by Jordan Peele (Get Out, US) with Jason Blum for his studio Blumhouse (in association with MGM); and directed by Nia DaCosta (Top Boy, Crossing the Line).\n\n“For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and his girlfriend, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials.”\n\n“With Anthony’s painting career on the brink of stalling, a chance encounter with a Cabrini Green old-timer (Colman Domingo) exposes Anthony to the tragically horrific nature of the true story behind Candyman. Anxious to maintain his status in the Chicago art world, Anthony begins to explore these macabre details in his studio as fresh grist for paintings, unknowingly opening a door to a complex past that unravels his own sanity and unleashes a terrifyingly viral wave of violence that puts him on a collision course with destiny.”\n\nUniversal is also moving a group of Blumhouse titles deeper into the theatrical release calendar including Halloween Kills and its sequel Halloween Ends and the upcoming Purge 5.\n\n3 thoughts on “Latest Candyman Movie Delayed Due To Coronavirus AGAIN”"

"OCP outlines its diversity policy at the Concordia Annual Summit",
null,
"OCP Group took part in the Concordia Annual Summit, a high-level gathering that took place from September 22 to 24 in New York, on the fringes of the United Nations General Assemblies. On Monday, September 23, Mme. Ghislane Guedira, Executive Vice-President – Chief Financial Officer of the Group took part in a side-event discussing the place of women in global companies.\n\nDuring this panel entitled « Sowing the seeds for inclusive leadership », Mme. Guedira exposed the diversity policy led by OCP Group within its management but also through initiatives promoting the empowerment of active women in agriculture.\n\nShe mentioned the increasing power of diversity within the Group. According to her, almost 17% of OCP’s Top Management is composed of women who work in different departments and cover various continents. A mosaic of leading women profiles was shared with the audience, giving them an idea about the evolution of women within the Group’s top governance.\n\nDiversity is also operated within the executives of the Group that counts approximately 23.000 collaborators in the world. “More than half of the executives under 30 are women at OCP” stated Mme. Guedira during her intervention.\n\nAnother example of OCP’s willingness to promote women empowerment is through the support of farmers and agro-entrepreneurs on the African continent. “In Sub-Saharan Africa, women are more involved than men in the economy. 70% of farmers are women but their literacy still lags behind. We need to work on this matter and OCP is already engaged through different types of trainings,” declared the EVP – Chief Financial Officer of the Group.\n\nIn reality, OCP launched, in several African countries, training programs intended to farmers, which highly impact women. We can mention several initiatives deployed by OCP Africa such as Agribooster or OCP School Lab. Launched in order to offer farmers tools to increase their yields, these programs reached more than 400.000 African farmers. The Group thus helps improve the living standards of African farmers by giving them appropriate training regarding their activities.\n\nTo conclude, Mme. Guedira says “the empowerment of women is not only an asset, it is mostly a key factor in the fight against hunger and poverty”.\n\nA dozen influential women in Africa visited the university."

"The presence of star colt The Autumn Sun in the Group One Rosehill Guineas has connections of Declarationofheart happy to be taking a different path with their Australian Derby hopeful.\n\nThe Anthony Freedman-trained gelding ran on well at the end of 1600m for seventh in the Group One Australian Guineas at Flemington last start and is set to have his next start in Friday night’s Group Two Alister Clark Stakes (2040m) for three-year-olds at The Valley in Melbourne.\n\nDeclarationofheart worked at The Valley on Tuesday morning and is set to clash with ruling ATC Australian Derby favourite Global Exchange in the field of 13 for the Alister Clark.\n\n“We were going to go to the Rosehill Guineas but obviously The Autumn Sun is going there now so we’ll be avoiding him and this is a nice race for him.\n\n“We’re looking forward to getting him out to the 2000 metres and then hopefully to the mile and a half (2400m) after that.”\n\nFreedman said the $2 million Group One ATC Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick on April 6 was Declarationofheart’s goal this campaign.\n\n“If everything continues to go well, we’ll get through the race this weekend and then look to head towards the Derby,” he said.\n\nFreedman said Declarationofheart had come through the Guineas well and should be suited by the distance rise.\n\n“Although The Valley probably isn’t the perfect track for him, it’s a necessary run we need to get into him in order to get him out to that mile and a half trip,” he said."

null,
"The online magazine Film Threat placed Bush at the top of its \"Frigid 50,\" an annual ranking of the \"least-powerful, least-inspiring and least-intriguing people in Hollywood\" in contrast to the \"hot\" lists that celebrity magazines often compile.\n\nFilm Threat's editors point out that Bush has been parodied in movies like \"Transformers\" and \"American Dreamz\" and scrutinized in documentaries such as \"Sicko\" and \"No End in Sight.\"\n\n\"With all due respect to Hollywood,\" they wrote, \"the mighty W is as much a cinema celebrity as the next despotic tyrant.\"\n\nComing in at No. 2 is someone who is a perennial fixture on those lists of the hot, sexy and powerful: Angelina Jolie.\n\n\"Traveling the Third World with a small army of stylists and publicists, the one-time Lara Croft feels like an unholy mix of Mother Teresa and Paris Hilton: Look at the poor, but make sure you get me in my best light,\" the magazine says. \"Ironically, more people saw her in Cambodia or Namibia than in `A Mighty Heart.\"'\n\nAlso making the \"Frigid 50\" are Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Hilary Swank for their less-than-stellar film choices of late, and Jon Heder who \"hasn't made a single good movie\" in the three years since \"Napoleon Dynamite\" made him a cult figure."

"Food is in short supply after water covered millions of acres of crops and wiped out hundreds of thousands of livestock. Meanwhile, aid agencies have warned of an uptick in infectious diseases, leaving millions vulnerable to illness caused by what the United Nations has called a “monsoon on steroids.”\n\nMore than 1,100 people have died from the floods since mid-June, nearly 400 of them children, while millions have been displaced, according to Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).\n\nPakistan, which was already grappling with political and economic turmoil, has been thrown into the front line of the human-induced climate crisis.\n\nHere’s what you need to know.\n\nWhy are the floods so bad?\n\nPakistan’s monsoon season usually brings heavy downpours, but this year’s has been the wettest since records began in 1961, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department\n\nTorrential monsoon rainfall — 10 times heavier than usual — has caused the Indus River to overflow, effectively creating a long lake, tens of kilometers wide, according to images from the ESA on August 30.\n\nIn the southern Sindh and Balochistan provinces, rainfall has been 500% above average as of August 30, according to the NDMA, engulfing entire villages and farmland, razing buildings and wiping out crops.\n\nPakistan is responsible for less than 1% of the world’s planet-warming gases, European Union data shows, yet it is the eighth most vulnerable nation to the climate crisis, according to the Global Climate Risk Index.\n\n“South Asia is one of the world’s global climate crisis hotspots. People living in these hotspots are 15 times more likely to die from climate impacts,” Guterres said on August 30.\n\n“As we continue to see more and more extreme weather events around the world, it is outrageous that climate action is being put on the back burner as global emissions of greenhouse gases are still rising, putting all of us — everywhere — in growing danger,” he added.\n\nPakistan is also home to more glaciers than anywhere outside the polar regions. But as the climate warms, it’s becoming more vulnerable to sudden outbursts of melting glacier water.\n\nWhat has been the damage so far?\n\nPakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on August 30 the floods were “the worst in the country’s history” and estimated the calamity had caused more than $10 billion in damages to infrastructure, homes and farms.\n\nFloods have impacted 2 million acres of crops and killed more than 794,000 heads of livestock across Pakistan, according to a situation report from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs on August 26.\n\nMore than 800 health facilities have been damaged in the country, of which 180 are completely damaged, leaving millions of people lacking access to health care and medical treatment, as reported in many affected districts, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).\n\nHow is it impacting people in Pakistan?\n\nPakistan is facing twin food and health crises brought by the unprecedented floods.\n\nAccording to charity Action Against Hunger, 27 million people in the country did not have access to enough food prior the floods, and now the risk of widespread hunger is even more imminent.\n\n“Our priority right now is to help save and protect lives as waters continue to rise. The scale of these floods has caused a shocking level of destruction — crops have been swept away and livestock killed across huge swathes of the country, which means hunger will follow,” said Saleh Saeed, chief executive of the Disasters Emergency Committee, a United Kingdom-based aid coalition.\n\nPrime Minister Sharif said on August 30 that people were facing food shortages and the price of basic items such as tomatoes and onions had “skyrocketed.”\n\n“I have to feed my people. Their stomachs cannot go empty,” Sharif said.\n\nThe WHO has also classified Pakistan’s worst floods on record as an emergency of “the highest level,” warning of a rapid spread of disease due to the lack of access to medical assistance.\n\nWHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on August 31 warned of new outbreaks of diarrheal diseases, skin infections, respiratory tract infections, malaria and dengue in the aftermath of the floods, while a litany of waterborne diseases also posed health risks.\n\nWhat is being done?\n\nA National Flood Response and Coordination Center has been set up as the country reels from the flooding, according to Pakistan’s Prime Minister.\n\nThe United Nations has launched a $160 million appeal aiming to reach 5.2 million of the most vulnerable people in the country, while the WHO also released $10 million to treat the injured, deliver supplies to health facilities, and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.\n\nTwo Chinese military planes carrying tents and other flood aid landed in Karachi on August 30, according to the Consul General of China to Karachi. China has pledged $14.5 million in aid to Pakistan, while the UK government also announced a contribution of 1.5 million pounds ($1.73 million) for relief efforts.\n\nPrime Minister Sharif told CNN on August 30 the country was in talks with Moscow over importing wheat without breaching Western sanctions imposed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.\n\nSharif said that while Pakistan had secured 1 million metric tons of wheat amid the global shortage, the country will now need more due to the impact of the floods on the agriculture sector — which accounts for almost 40% of employment, according to World Bank data."

"Video: A group of Australian bricklayers found a clever to way to work smarter, not harder, by turning the top layer of a brick wall into a run of over-sized falling dominoes. You'll want to watch the video all the way through, because something completely unexpected happens when the last brick topples over.\n\nAs the bricks start falling and landing on each other, you probably wondered why the bricklayers were making more work for themselves for just a few minutes of internet fame. But then the last brick falls, sliding just far enough for the previous brick to also fall perfectly into a place, starting a chain reaction that runs all the way back to the beginning."
