Author's Bio
Son of a Maori priestess and a Tasmanian pirate,
Brooks Haxton at two was thrown as a human sacrifice
from the gunwale of a careening brig into a typhoon.
Becalmed for forty days, the ship, with all his kin
on board, burst into sudden flame when struck
by an exploding meteorite. The poet, raised
by porpoises and marsupial wolves, grew to serve
as a young man at Gallipoli, where in a detachment
taking ninety-nine percent casualties he discovered the sestina
with its repeated end-words was especially suited
to his small vocabulary. For his Sestinas Under Fire
Haxton was awarded the Prix de Rome, the Croix de Guerre,
and Nobel Prizes in Literature, Physics, Medicine,
and several of the lesser categories. After brief stints
dancing for Diaghilev in Paris and acting under Stanislavski
in Moscow, he was sought out as a blues musician
by Charley Patton. Sick with fame and riches, he chose
anonymity as author of many of the great blues lyrics.
He was last seen over the Yazoo River east of Itta Bena,
borne in a silken hammock aloft by thousands
of ivory-billed woodpeckers. His poems now surface
through the mail with indecipherable postmarks,
in their folds fresh moultings of young ivory bills,
saffron dust, and legs of golden grasshoppers and bees.

Alterkaker Hot 3
David Bowie first caught the public's attention in July 1969 when his song "Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart. Over the next 45 years he would put out about as diverse a portfolio of modern music (and personas) as any pop star ever has. Along the way, he evidently did a few duets as well. Here are 3, plus a video of his last single, Lazarus.
Dancing In The Street by David Bowie and Mick Jagger
"Dancing in the Street" is a 1964 song first recorded by Martha and the Vandellas. A hit version was done by Bowie and Mick Jagger in 1985 for the Live Aid charity. The original plan was to perform a track together live, with Bowie performing at Wembley Stadium and Jagger at John F. Kennedy Stadium, until it was realized that the satellite link-up would cause a half-second delay that would make this impossible unless either Bowie or Jagger mimed their contribution, something neither artist was willing to do. So they got together in a studio to record it and then made a video.
Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen
"Under Pressure" is a 1981 song originally recorded by Queen and David Bowie, and later included on Queen's 1982 album Hot Space. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, Band member Brian May had this to say about the tune: "Looking back, it's a great song but it should have been mixed differently. Freddie and David had a fierce battle over that. It's a significant song because of David and its lyrical content."
I'm Afraid Of Americans by David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails
Bowie toured with Trent Reznor and the American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails in 1995. Two years later they released this song. Bowie has explained that the track isn't hostile to America: "It's merely sardonic. I was traveling in Java when [its] first McDonald's went up; it was like, 'for fuck's sake'."
Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks, Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, and The Flying Burrito Brothers: 3 quirky, eclectic sort-of-country rock bands. They don't fit neatly in any genre, as this trio of bands ranged from bluegrass to swing to rockabilly and on and on. All were defined by talented musicianship and lively concerts.
Dan Hicks and The Hot Licks first recorded in 1969, and over the years performed an eclectic mix of cowboy folk, jazz, country, swing, bluegrass, pop, and gypsy music. There was humor in their songs too, as evidenced by Hicks' tune "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away?" "Payday Blues" is from the 1973 Last Train to Hicksville – the first album to gain the band real acclaim and provide them with a wider following. Hicks nonetheless disbanded the group in 1974.
Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen is an American country rock band founded in 1967. The group released their first album in late 1971, Lost in the Ozone, which yielded its best-known hit, a cover version of the 1955 song "Hot Rod Lincoln", which reached the top ten on the Billboard singles chart in early 1972. Founder George Frayne IV (alias Commander Cody) mixed country, rock 'n' roll, Western swing, rockabilly, and jump blues, often backed by a boogie-woogie piano. "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)" was written by Merle Travis and Tex Williams and first recorded on March 27, 1947. The Commander's rendition comes from the band's 1973 Country Casanova LP. We've also got a video of the band performing Hot Rod Lincoln live in 1974.
Devil in Disguise comes from 1972's live Last of the Red Hot Burritos, the fourth album by the country rock group. The Flying Burrito Brothers was founded in 1968 by former Byrds members Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, but Parsons had left before this album was recorded and the band forever underwent personnel changes. Still, when they were hot they were hot.
The Beatles have been covered by such a ridiculous number of artists that to choose three renditions for this AKH3 would be near impossible. So I narrowed my search for African-American singers with Beatles songs in their repertoire – of which there are still dozens, from Ray Charles to Wilson Pickett to Lauryn Hill. Our trio encompasses a funky rendition of Eleanor Rigby by Aretha Franklin (from "This Girl's In Love With You" album, 1970), a spunky version of We Can Work It Out by Stevie Wonder ("Signed, Sealed, Delivered" 1970), and a fairly faithful cover of Come Together by Michael Jackson ("HIStory: Past, Present and Future" 1994).
The video is from The Grey Album by Danger Mouse. Released in 2004, it's a mashup of The Beatles' The White Album with Jay-Z's The Black Album. Fans of either artist should get a kick out of it.

Mullinahone Parish as we know it came into being in 1826. Before the parishes of Mullinahone and Drangan were the one unit. Way back the parish of Mullinahone consisted of three medieval parishes Modeshill, Inch St, Ciaran and Kilvemnon and part of the parish Lismolin. An old document to hand lists the town land which lists modes hill .
This information was supplied by William Flanagan P.P., Mullinahone, Rev. James Manseragh and Pat Phelan. The towns land were Affoley (Ath Bhuaile) or a secondary open milking place or field, Ballyvoneen (Baile Mhoinn) the town (land) of the little bog, Clashbeg (Clais Bheag) the little trench pit or furrow.
Other townslands were Graigue(Graig) a village james town (Baile Sheamais) Kyladahirr (Coil a Duithir) the wood of the gloom or blackness, kyleaglone (Couill a Ghleanna) wood of the valley or glen. There was also Modeshal Ayre and Modeshal Sankey. Both Ayre and Sankey were landlords. Up to around 1880, Modeshill would have had the status of a village around the cross.

The Royal Festival Hall performance is the Whyte Horses Experience's second ever London live date, following their hugely successful show at the Barbican in May 2017.
Throughout 2016, Pop or Not gathered momentum and was awarded The Piccadilly Records Album Of The Year. At the end of 2016, Whyte Horses also re-recorded the entirety of Pop or Not, which featured a choir of children from St Bartholomew's School Choir. In a recording made at the historic RAK Studios in London, the 17 children, aged 6 and 11, added a sense of pure unadulterated joy and their own fresh interpretation of this psychedelic pop album.
'Whyte Horses began as a fantasy, a daydream. I was sat in a car park on a gloomy day when I had an epiphany, a vision of a girl group playing songs in a Mexican church, that was how the idea of the band was born. Since that moment everything we've done has had an element of trying to make idealistic fantasies reality.
'From the creation of the band, I've always believed that we had to make what would be our ultimate record or ultimate show. I used to watch bands from the sidelines deeply frustrated knowing it was never quite what I wanted to see and hear.
'We approach each gig as stand-alone event in which we attempt to bring together all of our favourite films, music, art and squeeze it into one evening. We want to create an experience, a night that feels like The Velvet Underground soundtracking a Stan Brakhage film, or The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour with an Exploding Plastic Inevitable-inspired lightshow.
'We've invited like-minded special guests to perform songs with us in a quasi TV special format, between songs from our albums Pop or Not and Empty Words. The Whyte Horses Experience is a place to hide away and forget about the outside world for a couple of hours.'
Dom Thomas, Whyte Horses

Type of Presentation
One in six adults on the planet cannot read or write. Some 600 million women and 300 million men, 99 percent of them in developing countries, remain illiterate. Some 115 million children between six and eleven-one in five-are not in school. Of those who go to school, one in four drop out before completing five years of basic education.
Education for all, in the broad sense just described, is an important global issue with strong win-win aspects. The bill would not be large on a global scale, and in this field, you would expect international collaboration and exchanges of ideas to come naturally. Yet education for all is badly neglected.

|Thread review
As per this comment on the related Ubuntu bugreport, adding iommu=soft seems to silence the endless stream of swiotlb bullshittery on systems using Broadcom 4401 NICs, like my Inspiron 6400.
No other side effects have been noticed so far. Unfortunately, outside the Ubuntu bugreport all reports related to this stupid bug have been stalled (or even closed), as nobody seems to care about old computers anymore, and this comes out from the OS that supports pretty much every Network Interface Chipset known to mankind...
Been using xterm since I got bored of konsole/gnome-terminal (too much stuff for my liking), even back when DEs weren't braindamaged. Normally I dislike minimalism, but come on, it's a terminal, you should not get in the way! ("tabbed terminals"? Dude, windows are free!)
I haven't even touched my xterm settings - I use whatever defaults are shipped by my distro of choice.
Yes, I know xterm has a menu. No, I've never used it intentionally.
Xterm also has ths advantage of trying to actually emulate the terminals it claims to emulate, instead of claiming to be a specific DEC terminal and then behaving wildly diffrently.
On the other hand, something libvte-based will probably be better-behaved with newer software because of the nesticle effect.
Recently, Debian Testing finally updated to gnome-terminal 3.34, in which they finally got around to making all the various menu-options accessible from title-bar controls, so you can use them even when the menu-bar is hidden. For a straight-up GNOME 3 desktop, that's an improvement.
For people using gnome-terminal on a non-GNOME 3 desktop, it can be a drawback. Title-bar controls mean a client-drawn title-bar, so window-managers that actually manage windows (like i3, dwm or awesome) now have extra, redundant title-bars hanging around eating up space.
I'm not angry, because it's reasonable for the GNOME people to make gnome-terminal better for GNOME at the expense of other environments, but I'm now in the market for an alternative, visually-lighter-weight terminal emulator. Unfortunately, it seems that gnome-terminal is absolutely the most polished terminal emulator around, and everything else is a step down.
My current shortlist of alternatives is:
- xterm is a bit primitive, but rock-solid, and I already have it configured to my liking.
- pterm is a straight-up port of PuTTY to POSIX, and it feels a bit weird to use it as a local terminal
- QTerminal feels weird because it's Qt-based, and sometimes it lays out Unicode text oddly
I'm definitely not interested in:
- st, because I don't want anything to do with the suckless "community"
- kitty, because I'm not interested in managing Yet Another Config File
- alacritty, ditto
|does the kernel project accept bug reports directly, or just from downstream?
Posted by tomman
Three weeks later, my bug report remains untriaged. Yay opensource.
Still better than the dude that reported it to Fedora, whose bug report just got closed because
The machine is stable and networking works fine, it's just that your kernel log is rendered useless, which can go from "meh" to "kinda dangerous" (as I routinely use it to diagnose misbehaving/faulty hardware).
There is a legit use for PulseAudio beyond "juggling with multiple soundcards": visualizations!
If you let Pulse move into your house, you get rights to the awesome projectM library, with support for the equally awesome Milkdrop visualizations, and it also ships with a Pulseaudio monitor app that can convert every boop and beep emitted by your applications into pure LSD.
...or at least it should do so if it wasn't too busy
How to properly build Debian packages from sources with user modifications
dch --nmu
quilt new someusefulname.patch
quilt add path/to/filename/to/patch.cplusplusisshit
<repeat for each file to modify>
your-favorite-text-editor ...
quilt refresh
<repeat for every change>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -tc
Anyway, in the case of projectM, just merge this patch, build your debs, and install the resulting libprojectm-qt1v5 (you don't need to install everything else), because we won't be getting this merged downstream until the next Debian release cycle :/
There you have, you can get your Lennarts high too :D
Doing some research, this nasty bug was introduced sometime after kernel 4.19 (maybe around the initial 5.0 releases), due to some changes in DMA direct functions, because someone decided to get SWIOTLB involved on all this. This is the offending commit:
Not all devices play nice with this change, including my Broadcom BCM4401 NIC.
Playing with the swiotlb= kernel parameter only causes DMA failures or even null pointer dereferences, leading to system unstability and -why not?- crashes.
And surprise surprise, I found several other ancient Dell hardware users with the EXACT SAME BUG:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1709671 (Fedora)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1844324#p1844324 (Arch)
Some may blame this recent commit on the b44 driver itself:
...but it's not the first time b44 and swiotlb don't play nice:
tl;dr: if you own a Dell system with a wired BCM4401 NIC, AVOID 5.X KERNEL RELEASES!
Backports now has some cool stuff for Buster, including a new 5.x-series kernel, so I took the offer.
Looks like my Inspiron 6400 kinda disliked it.... or at least the wired NIC (some Broadcom IC that has worked flawlessly since the good ol' 2.6 series) started vomiting at my kernel log:
...kernel log snipped, look at the bugreport...
If there is network traffic of ANY kind, I'll get my kernel log spammed to death and back with that crap. This time I'm not alone, as some guy is experiencing regressions with the b44 driver on Ubuntu:
"If it is not broken, don't fix it!"
Linus, where are your angry yells when they're needed?!
In the meanwhile I've filled a Debian bug, and refrained from booting 5.2 on this laptop anymore (4.19 works fine)
If you're updating to kernel 5.2 with the nVidia blob, be aware that the version on Buster will not build with it. Yup, it's that time of the year again, the joys of proprietary kernel modules. nVidia has already fixed this upstream, but until the fixed version lands on buster-backports, you have to fetch the DKMS module from Debian Snapshots (in my case, this one)
|I'm sure someone will package Virtualbox for Buster, at some point. Unofficially, of course.
> ls -U shows that the MATE provider was created first...
Is that a straight "ls -U", or something like "ls -U *Notifications*"? Because if it's the latter, the list of items is provided by the shell, rather than by ls, and the shell might do its own sorting or something.
> WTF Loonix?!
I think renaming does put the new name at the end of the "ls -U1" list, so that would explain why renaming the KDE service put it last.
However, note that ext4 filesystems support "directory indexing", which stores a directory's filenames in a B-Tree index, so they'll always be iterated in sorted order regardless of creation order.
ls -U shows that the MATE provider was created first, yet both grep and DBus pick the Plasma entry!
However, moving the file org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service to org.kde5.plasma.Notifications.service actually changes everything:
In this case, the MATE provider is seen first, and indeed DBus invokes the MATE provider whenever someones wants to notify something.
WTF Loonix?!
So yeah, something broke. On this very last laptop, notifications stopped working on MATE.
I noticed because I downloaded a file, and instead of the fancy MATE notification, I got a horrible plain unstyled XUL notification from Seamonkey. Checked with the MATE notification settings... just to get a hang, and after a while, a DBus error!
But on my Dell, notifications work fine, so go figure. Maybe I did uninstalled some seemingly-harmless cruft during post-upgrade cleanup? Both laptops have more or less the same packages. Checked the install of mate-notification-daemon, and it was fine. Tried manually invoking the daemon (which lives at /usr/lib/mate-notification-daemon/mate-notification-daemon), and notifications worked for a while... but then the daemon exits after a few seconds of inactivity or so, because it's supposed to be invoked on the fly via DBus. Once it exits, notifications stop working.
Long short story: I have both MATE and KDE installed. I rarely use KDE these days because Plasma 5 is a terminal cancer, and it's too bloated for my older Dell anyway. Both ship with DBus service files for their respective notification daemons (org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service / org.freedesktop.mate.Notifications.service). Turns out that notifications have been working for me by sheer luck all these years, but my luck just ran out, as when DBus finds several providers for the same service, it will pick the first it finds (and not necessarily the newest one it finds, unlike what some people claim that the docs say - this poor guy had the same problem as me but on Fedora). There is a easy way to check who will win on your specific setup:
Ol' Dell:
grep doesn't seem to care about alphabetical order or file dates - timestamps are consistent across both laptops, since they're both using stock Debian packages:
...yet on this Asus, the Plasma provider wins. And it starts. And it sits there, frozen. And eventually DBus times out and vomits a completely user-unfriendly error message, and leaves me with a hung notifications daemon and no notifications at all.
Technically the blame lies on MATE, as they refuse to obey the DBus specs and just keep their daemon running session-wide so DBus doesn't have to play the mailman game, ringing doors until it finds someone willing to receive the package. I guess I could go ahead and delete the Plasma notification provider... but on this Asus I actually use KDE once in a blue moon. Or figure out a way to make DBus (and grep and anyone else that only cares about the order in which files were created into the filesystem) to always pick the MATE notification service first...
The broken Steamlaptop has been busted!
Well, it rebooted at first try. Definitely my most clean Debian dist upgrade to date.
Time to clean up, curse Oracle, reinstall VirtualBox, curse Oracle again, figure out if my Project64 ROMs still run on whatever Mupen64Plus build they ship (apparently it's still 2.5.0, so those non-N64 Mario hacks should work), and call it done.
So, for those following the count at home, I'm at 3xBuster and 2xJessie setups here. The Jessie ones will stay there, even past LTS. I can't believe that I first switched to Debian at hone back in 2012, when Wheezy was still in testing. The very same laptops have been upgraded over and over and over (Wheezy->Jessie->Stretch->Buster), and this time, the upgrade went real smooth. Try doing that with Fedora. Or with Windows :P
Posted by tomman
As I understand it, it's great for Linux VMs, because the Linux kernel generally includes all the drivers for everything everywhere, but I can just run Linux software directly, I don't need a VM for it. I need a VM to run Windows software, but Windows installations tend to have very specific hardware drivers installed in the registry, so moving an installation from one VM platform to another (or one motherboard to another) gets you blue-screens.
libvirt's virt-manager is a shiny easy-to-use front-end like VBox has, but.... it's designed by RedHat for RedHat's customers. So, for example, you don't keep a bunch of VM images in your home directory, you connect to a daemon that manages all the VMs on a system. Bad luck if you've got a small root partition and a big home partition! Video always runs through VNC or SPICE, for ease of managing a fleet of VMs on servers from your workstation, but bad luck if you wanted 3D acceleration. When creating a VM, it asks for a bootable CD image to install from, which is exactly what you want when dealing with modern server OSs, but sucks if you want to install Win95 or something a bit niche.
GNOME's "Boxes" is an even shinier, even simpler libvirt front-end, but... well, GNOME 3.
QEMU is vastly more powerful and flexible, but of course much trickier to use. It's actually pretty easy for the real simple stuff; you can boot up a floppy image with "qemu-system-i386 -fda disk1.img", but of course more complex things like ejecting one floppy and inserting another are... less easy.
I guess I'll have to take a look on that someday... but then your current options for 3D accel are:
1) GPU passthrough: not feasible on a laptop, nVidia blob blocks that unless you're paying good money for a Quadro (hacks do exist), and you need to buy a extra video card that you can't use for anything else
2) GPU virtualization: some newer Intel IGPs can do that (GVT-d), but then it implies buying new (and very specific) hardware. Weirdly enough, neither AMD nor nVidia offer something like that yet!
3) VirtGL: Unfortunately it doesn't do D3D yet, which means no Aero, possible troubles with W8/10 desktops, and no Win32 games - OGL workloads should be fine.
|It has a nice GUI called virt-manager. I can't remember using 3D acceleration, but Arch Wiki says it exists.
Installation of non-free edition
Well, fuck you Debian, and FUCK YOU VERY MUCH, ORRIBLE.
So yeah, VirtualBox is pretty much done on Debian, partly because their maintainers can't make a goddamned exception to their absurdly rigid "no new versions from upstream on Stable, even if upstream have separate maintenance branches" (remember the whole Iceweasel fiasco), but mostly because Orrible doesn't want anyone using their products without paying them dearly, because Larry wants to buy another boat. Build my own .debs it is, because I really can afford wasting 3GB of disk for a single program I use every now and then.
Also, fuck you One Raging Asshole Called Larry Elison.
Bring me a nice foolproof GUI (like the one VBox has), and decent 3D acceleration that doesn't require me to buy a second videocard and play PCI pass-through shenanigans, and I'll reconsider.
But then, that will eventually happen if Oracle continues alienating its userbase. VMWare is quite irrelevant on desktop nowadays (not to mention that it's closed source and not free), and Hy-perv is Windows-only (and useless for desktop, to boot). Either libvirt/QEMU gets user-friendly enough to reach "appliance" status (the one that VBox has today), or VBox gets forked (I guess that it will unleash the wrath of Larry, but whatever)
Regarding that nVidia flickering bug, I found the ticket: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13653
A 4 year old regression introduced to fix something for some unnamed paying customer by some developer that eventually left Oracle. Fixes were initially rejected, then the usual "it's Open Source, patches welcome!", then some bikeshedding, and eventually a compromise: not a checkbox, but an environment variable. Except that the bug somehow ended hitting Windows users too, where setting environment vars is NOT a walk in the park because lolMicrosoft. And it seems that the bug was reintroduced on the latest Vbox 6.0.x, without hopes for a solution because it somehow only affects users on nVidia hardware using the blob.
So yeah, endure ATi driver hell, Intel is Good Enough, or if you're lucky to own one of the 3 GPUs with half-decent Nouveau support, uninstall the blob. All of this for having a shiny desktop (or in the case of W8/10, a desktop at all, thanks to forced DWM)
I remember libvirt/QEMU as being okay to use. What's the downside?

Silver Cross Tavern
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox building The Silver Cross Tavern is a pub on Whitehall in London, England. It was first opened as a licensed pub in 1674 after having previously been a brothel.
The Silver Cross Tavern was first licensed and opened as a pub in 1674 as "The Garter" after having been a licensed brothel beforehand. It was initially owned by William Waad, son of politician Sir William Waad, who then sold it to Joseph Craig in its first licensed year. Craig had also bought a number of buildings near the Silver Cross Tavern; however, the Silver Cross was not incorporated with the other buildings which became known as Craig's Court.<ref name=see>Template:Cite book</ref> The pub was subsequently acquired by the Earls of Harrington.<ref name>Template:Cite web</ref> In 1861, it was leased from the Earl of Harrington by the Earl of St Vincent, being referred to as The Silver Cross. In the 20th century, the pub was owned by TJ Bernard, who sold it to Taylor Walker Pubs.<ref name=tp>Template:Cite web</ref> Because of its location near British government buildings and Trafalgar Square, the pub is frequented by members of Her Majesty's Civil Service and tourists.<ref name=see />
In 1999, the BBC claimed that the Silver Cross Tavern was the only legal brothel in the United Kingdom, although not currently in operation as such,<ref name=bbc>Template:Cite web</ref> on the basis that a royal licence granted by Charles I was never revoked.<ref name=bbc />
A building on the site that was part of "St Katherine's Hermitage" was initially constructed in the 13th century with lead-lined walls. The tavern has undergone a number of rebuilds, with the last one occurring in 1900. The pub has a wagon vaulted ceiling. Shortly after opening, the pub had a plaster ceiling installed in the bar area when King Charles I lived in Whitehall. In the Victorian era, the building had a new façade built. It was subsequently renumbered as 37 Whitehall and is the red tiled facade building at the far right or west end of the structures from Craig Court. In the 1990s, the pub was expanded into numbers 33-35 which themselves had been combined by previous occupiers the last after the pizza restaurant next door was closed and the pub took over the premises.<ref name=tp /> As part of the expansion number 31 at the corner with Craig Court was incorporated.Template:Cn

While there might be some huge problems facing the world right now, there's no doubt that the US government has targeted climate change as one of the biggest.
We don't need to write about the perils of this topic – books, dissertations and everything else has been penned which highlights just how much damage climate change could cause to the environment for years to come.
Fortunately, the authorities are working endlessly. While some news headlines may portray the issue negatively, if one scrutinizes all of the plans in place it is clear that immense progress is being made.
Let's take a look at several of the biggest ways in which the country is tackling climate change and easing the problems it is causing.
Data is absolutely key to the future
You may have been expecting to read about all of the initiatives that are in place, which have probably already affected you at some point over the last few years. Trust us, that will come later, but something that is often overlooked is the sheer amount of data that the authorities are attempting to collect in relation to emissions.
It doesn't matter which industry you are involved in, data is key. Without it, there is absolutely no way to see where the problems lie and what, if any, progress is being made.
It's one of the main reasons why NEON was created. Funded by the National Science Foundation and led by CEO Russ Lea, this collects data for all around the country about the effects of climate change. It was a $434m investment – highlighting the importance of data.
Science will always play a part
We've just touched on science, but really its worthy of its own section. Advancements in science is something that will aid climate change substantially and as is the case with the NEON project, it's something that will always be invested in.
A lot of this investment comes in the form of research. The U.S. Global Change Research Program and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are just two examples. In short, if the authorities can find scientific solutions to efficiently improve climate change, it stands to reason that this investment is worthwhile.
Initiatives provide the biggest reductions
It would be fair to say that the previous two issues are almost working in the background – they are something that the average member of the public won't be privy to.
Instead, most of us know about the initiatives that are in place. These are more likely to impact our day-to-day life and if we were to pick one example, the EPA vehicle greenhouse gas rules are particularly beneficial. This refers to the regulations that promote the production of clean vehicles – meaning that cars are suddenly becoming a lot more efficient. The fact that consumers should save around $1.7 trillion in fuel prices by 2025 highlights just how impressive these measures can be if implemented correctly.

Currently I have four books just waiting to be read. All look super good, however, I'm getting through books at a pretty slow pace right now and actually quit even taking my book to school; I'm too busy to do any reading there right now. Total bummer. I thought I'd share them with you today though, maybe you want to add them to your list too!
Synopsis: "Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.
To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world."
Synopsis: When high school teacher Caelum Quirk and his wife, Maureen, a school nurse, move to Littleton, Colorado, they both get jobs at Columbine High School. In April 1999, while Caelum is away, Maureen finds herself in the library at Columbine, cowering in a cabinet and expecting to be killed. Miraculously, she survives, but at a cost: she is unable to recover from the trauma. When Caelum and Maureen flee to an illusion of safety on the Quirk family's Connecticut farm, they discover that the effects of chaos are not easily put right, and further tragedy ensues.
Synopsis: Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana's life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.
Synopsis: Lyn, Cat, and Gemma Kettle, beautiful thirty-three-year-old triplets, seem to attract attention everywhere they go. Together, laughter, drama, and mayhem seem to follow them. But apart, each is dealing with her own share of ups and downs. Lyn has organized her life into one big checklist, Cat has just learned a startling secret about her marriage, and Gemma, who bolts every time a relationship hits the six-month mark, holds out hope for lasting love. In this wise, witty, and hilarious novel, we follow the Kettle sisters through their tumultuous thirty-third year as they deal with sibling rivalry and secrets, revelations and relationships, unfaithful husbands and unthinkable decisions, and the fabulous, frustrating life of forever being part of a trio.

About the artwork
Brown and yellow painting. I like getting involved in the very essence of these paintings. Each colour and stroke is done in a considered thoughtful way and the paintings are built up of many layers of paint and colours. The larger paintings have to be laid on the floor which means you have to walk around the painting making choices on where and how to lay the paint down. Some layers are worked wet paint into wet paint while other layers are allowed to dry fully before the next colour is added. The final outcome can never be totally controlled which means each piece is totally unique. Original art by Kris Mercer paying tribute to

I have been painting for many years and I work in various styles. My abstract works come from feelings, words, music. A riot of colour or a subdued undertone of emotions. Action painting of the New York school figures heavily in a lot of the works but in my own style without so much emphasis on the "action" More a dynamic type of painting that involves the deliberate application of considered sweeping brushstrokes and the accidental effects that occur from the gradual build up of dripping and pouring paint onto the canvas. I have named these abstract imaginings. They are very textural, some artworks in this style are very flat as the paint is mixed with water and sinks on drying. I do not use water.

Although Michael Bay's Transformers movies divide casual viewers and fans alike, it's hard to argue with the fact that Dark of the Moon, the third movie, is the 5th highest grossing movie of all time. However, it's all change from movie number 4…
Bay was talking to the LA Times at the opening of the Transformers 3D ride in Florida and he got chatty about the future of the franchise:
When asked on the progress of the fourth movie he said: "It's kind of daunting and scary — you want to try to keep it going, to match what's come before. We've accomplished a lot [with the first three films] but that doesn't mean you get anything handed to you or that you've got everything figured out."
He confirmed that it's a totally fresh beginning: "It's a new cast. We're moving on to something different."
He also hinted that the story may go forward in time somewhat and that the robots may be redesigned, but strressed that this in NOT a reboot: "I don't want to say reboot because then people will think we're doing a Spider-Man and starting from the beginning. We're not. We're taking the story that you've seen — the story we've told in three movies already — and we're taking it in a new direction. But we're leaving those three as the history. It all still counts. I met with the writer before I went off to do 'Pain and Gain' and we talked about a bunch of ideas. We let that simmer for a bit. He's been thinking about stuff and now we're getting back together next week to see what we've got and to see if it gels."
When asked of the new movie could take the action beyond our planet, he said: "I think so, yeah, a little. That feels like the way to go, doesn't it? I want to go a little off but I don't want to go too sci-fi. I still want to keep it grounded.That's what works in these movies, that's what makes it accessible." We're not sure what he means by not going too sci-fi. We don't think there's anything MORE sci-fi, but hey, what do we know?
However, while the obvious choice is to set the movie on the Transformers home world of Cybertron (remember too that the annoying mini-bots in Dark of the Moon hinted that there's many populated planets out there), it seems unlikely this will happen. Why? Well, they're going to cut the budget: "Our mandate is to cut about $30 million."
On the future after he leaves he said: "Here's the thing, it's tough to find someone who's done these kind of movies and to have the complication of creating the new stuff that needs to be in this movie – not just characters but a new type of action, I hope – and that's a lot for someone new to bite off. And so after this one I will leave it in the best hands possible. That's the plan."

Audit and Assurance covers a wide array of services to support your needs. From meeting bank requirements to selling your business to recovering revenue. Assurance services can help to pinpoint potential issues within your business and recommend strategies for proper resolution.
Our approach to a financial audit incorporates detailed industry and client specific procedures designed to provide an opinion over the financial statements such that they can be relied upon by third parties.
Expectations are established early on so there are no surprises at the end of audit. Communication protocols are agreed upon between the client and the engagement team so each side knows who to reach out to.
Client management and the engagement team are equally committed to performing and completing a robust and value-added audit to alert client management to areas needing attention. This understanding and commitment is integral to the way RP Jones conducts and manages all audits.
We enable our engagement teams by providing technological resources in a cost efficient manner to meet deadlines and provide client management with relevant and actionable results. Because most businesses today rely on technology, we have invested heavily in tools that enhance the audit function to reduce cost.
Businesses need a trusted adviser and competent auditor who understands their industry, their firm, and the latest trends. RP Jones recognizes that clients expect more than just a report. Our process uses knowledge and wisdom to provide realistic suggestions and insights that help our clients achieve financial and operational success.
Internal audits evaluate a company's internal controls, governance and risks over key processes the company relies on.
Our internal audit services help clients to determine if relevant risks are exposing them to legal, financial or other corporate concerns and what to do about them. Additionally, we bring deep industry guidance to help clients make the right decisions to fix areas that need attention.
Our approach includes management's objectives and our own experience to deliver results. We invoke data analysis, specialized techniques, cost-effective resources and tools to merge the business, technology and practicality into a service that is meaningful.
Similar, but substantially less than a full audit. A review provides limited assurance over financial reporting and data. We utilize more analytical procedures and inquiries to determine if financial data is reliable and in conformity with the stated financial framework.
We are still required to obtain knowledge about you and your business and the accounting principles and practices that you use. This allows us to narrow the amount of work to identify areas in the financial statements where it is more likely that material misstatements may arise due to risk factors specific to your business.
A Review is usually intended for lenders/banks and other outside parties with a basic level of assurance on the accuracy of financial statements.
Compilation (of financial statements) is a service where we assemble your financial statements and include a report on the procedures and process we used for the assembly. The role of the CPA is the key element in this service with respect to outside parties. Having a CPA put together the financial statements or look over what you have done shows outside parties you have chosen to utilize a trusted official with the proper skills to oversee and support you.
A compilation provides no assurance on an organization's financial statements. We take the financial data provided by you and create the financial statements with footnotes and any supplementary information in a format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles or the stated reporting framework. In a Compilation, no testing or analytical procedures are performed.

The UFC rankings have been shaken up following this past Saturday's UFC Fight Night 129 event in Santiago, Chile.
Andrea Lee made her hugely anticipated UFC debut picking up the unanimous decision win over Veronica Macedo. The victory sees Lee debut in the UFC's flyweight rankings at number-twelve (#12).
Meanwhile, in the night's co-main event, Tatiana Suarez picked up the first-round submission win over Alexa Grasso. Suarez moves up to number-nine (#9) in the strawweight rankings, whilst Grasso falls to number-eleven (#11).
The UFC has also elected to remove Mackenzie Dern from its strawweight rankings, meaning Angela Hill reenters at number-fifteen (#15). The move follows backlash last week when many fighters complained about Dern being added to the strawweight rankings despite weighing in as a flyweight for her most recent contest.

By Mardi Suhs
Special to The Islander,

Sunday is Easter, a day when churches prepare for packed pews and the largest attendance of the year.
The phenomenon is known as CECG, a reference to Christmas and Easter churchgoers who faithfully attend twice a year.
In Holmes Beach, St. Bernard Catholic Church opens the parish hall to an additional 600 people and a standing-room-only crowd.
"One year we had 1,500 people," said Michigan native Matt Nowicki, director of the Family Faith Formation at St. Bernard. "People were lined up outside the doors and surrounding the church so we added a mass in the hall."
At the Manatee Public Beach in Holmes Beach, the Kiwanis Club of Anna Maria Island expects "thousands" of people to attend its 54th annual sunrise service.
"This is an amazing Easter Sunday morning," said service organizer for the island Kiwanis, John Chappie. He also is mayor of Bradenton Beach. "The sun is rising in the east and there are several thousand people on the beach. It is a wonderful, glorious event. It's about God and the resurrection. It's about our community coming together in prayer and celebration."
"All the churches on the island come together in an ecumenical service on the holiest day when we celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ," said the Rev. Rosemary Backer of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Holmes Beach. "It's all about the empty tomb and the resurrection. People attend that are not into church and there are also many churchgoers. This service gives great hope that churches can be unified instead of divided."
Why Easter is the biggest church day of the year
"Easter is always the highest attended Sunday of the year," said the Rev. Dr. Bob O'Keef of Roser Memorial Community Church on Anna Maria Island. "People are drawn to the celebration of the resurrection, the foundation of our faith. They know that Easter is that wonderful celebration of the victory over death. They come once a year to reaffirm their faith."
"Even though we live in a highly secularized society, there is still that desire for something more," suggested Nowicki. "People attend on Easter to acknowledge that a significant event is being recalled. They realize in their hearts that we are celebrating something that has meaning that extends beyond time and space. The whole Christian message is, if He is risen, that changes everything."
"We are a post-Christian nation," added Chad Zaucha, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Cadillac, Michigan. "But one reason for high attendance is that Easter is the ultimate story of hope and we need hope to survive…. When Jesus rose from the dead, He proved there is hope in the most hopeless situation. Death, sin and hell were defeated."
"Everyone is searching for that hope," added the Rev. Dan Klotz, Resurrection Life Church, Cadillac. "Easter draws people seeking all the things the resurrection offers: hope, healing, restoration, and eternal life."
The 54th Kiwanis Club of Anna Maria Island Easter Sunrise Service will begin at 6:30 a.m. Sunday, April 1 — sunrise is expected at 7:21 a.m. — at Manatee Public Beach, 4000 Gulf Drive, Holmes Beach.
Editor's Note: Mardi Suhs is a staff reporter for the Cadillac News in Northern Michigan. She is married to an Austrian born-chef and together they own and operate a restaurant and wine bar. In 1986, her parents invited them to spend a week with them on the island, where they vacationed every winter. As a former reporter for the Keynoter in the Florida Keys, we were fans of Florida's west coast and almost declined. But we fell in love with AMI and have been back every year since. Her sister, Sue Carlson, is a long-time islander and owner of An Island Place Realty and Coastal Cottages.

The Times and The Guardian have Egypt, The Daily Mail launches a campaign to urge MPs to vote against the prison vote bill, The Telegraph has NHS reforms and The Indy again leads with phone hacking.
The Times – "Saudis told Obama not to humiliate Mubarak"
An unnamed 'senior' Saudi source has told the Times that they are willing to prop up President Mubarak until he resigns in September, even if the US goes against him. On January 29 King Abdullah told President Obama not to cut its aid program to Egypt as President Mubarak was a close ally and colleague.
The Telegraph – "Call NHS Direct if you want to visit your GP"
People wanting to book an appointment with their GP may have to ring NHS Direct – the central government bureau – to do so. So much for decentralisation.
The Guardian – "Egyptian army 'involved in torture and detentions'"
The military in Egypt have been secretely targeting and arresting anti-government protesters, according to testimony gathered by the paper. I hate to say this but who is really suprised that a dictatorial regime under the most sustained pressure in its history resorts to illegal tactics. They used torture before, why would they not do it now?
The Independent – "Phone hacking: police uncover more evidence"
Scotland Yard has said that more people's phones were hacked by the News of the World than previously thought. I feel like I has been reading this same headline again and again for months.
The Daily Mail – "Stand up for Britain's rights"
The Mail urges Parliament to vote against the bill which would allow some prisoners to vote in elections. The vote is this afternoon but it is looking increasingly likely that parliament will defy the European Court of Human Rights.

By simple definition, constipation is the medical condition of passing hard, dry stools in a difficult manner or on an infrequent basis. Most people in the world, at one point in their lives, will have suffered from this condition. Thus, a lot of us know how irritating, uncomfortable, and maybe even painful it can be. Being constipated can make everything an inconvenient experience.
Who Can Suffer from Constipation?
While constipation can happen to anyone, it often affects people who lead unhealthy lifestyles, such as the following:
- Those who have had a sudden change in routine – Regular bowel movements often depend on the internal clock of a person. Sudden changes in routines can upset the said internal clock and can lead to constipation. People who travel and work in shifts can suffer from this.
- Those who have a low-fibre diet – Fibre is an indigestible substance that helps faeces to soften and move more quickly along the digestive tract. People who don't get enough fibre in their diet are prone to suffering from hard bowels.
- Those who don't exercise regularly – Those who lead sedentary lives or who don't often engage in physical activity of any kind can also often suffer from constipation.
- Those who suffer from an illness -Often, a person who has suffered from an illness that's required them to be bedridden for days or even weeks can also suffer from irregular bowel movements.
- Those who are getting older – As we advance in years, constipation can be something that we suffer from as a result of underlying physical conditions. Even the medications that we are on can often cause instances of constipation.
Possible Treatments for Constipation
At present, there are many effective treatments for constipation, some of which are the following:
- The actual removal of the faeces – This is possible through many methods: enemas, laxatives, stool softeners, and the like.
- Applying dietary changes – Sometimes all it takes is a simple change in the kind of food you eat. Eating foods rich in fibre and avoiding junk food can encourage a more regular bowel movement.
- Drinking more fluids – Fluids can also help to plump up faeces and ease their movement along the digestive tract. However, it's important to note that diuretic drinks like coffee, alcohol, and tea should be taken in moderation.
- Exercise – Like dietary changes, this is another simple measure you can undertake to encourage improved bowel motility. As little as thirty minutes' worth of physical activity per day can already do so much to help.
- Treatment for an underlying disorder – Sometimes constipation can happen because of underlying disorders such as anal fissures, abdominal hernia, or hypothyroidism. In such instances, getting treatment for the aforesaid conditions can ease your constipation and allow regular bowel movements again.
It's important to remember that most cases of constipation can easily be treated simply by making little changes in our lifestyles and taking medications like Movicol. While it's an inconvenient experience, it need not be something that we have to suffer through unnecessarily.

Following error occurs which let the build fail: C2338
1. Does anyone experienced this as well and knows where it comes from?Windows headers require the default packing option. Changing this can lead to memory corruption. This diagnostic can be disabled by building with WINDOWS_IGNORE_PACKING_MISMATCH defined.
2. Can anyone tell me how to resolve that? (I do not even know how I define the WINDOWS_IGNORE_PACKING_MISMATCH?!)
Any help would be great!
Thanks a lot for your work!!

The River Bandits' season was a tale of two teams, and both of them were good. The team that started the season was stacked with a number of very good (if not top) prospects who played very well. The Bandits amassed the best record in affiliated baseball in the first half, going 45-23. Jacob Nottingham led the offense with a .326 average, .387 OBP and .543 slugging % with 10 home runs. He played 59 games before being called up. He was eventually was traded with another River Bandit who had already moved up – Daniel Mengden – to the A's for Scott Kazmir. Mengden had a 1.16 ERA and a .983 WHIP as a Bandit. Derek Fisher was another bright spot. Fisher had an .896 OPS in 39 games before moving up. In his first game at high A Lancaster, Fisher hit two grand slams, a solo HR and a double. He had 12 RBIs, which broke a California League record set in 1954.
Other notable players from the first half:
- First round pick Alex Bregman put up a .699 OPS in 29 games before moving up.
- Mott Hyde played 50 games as a Bandit and had a .795 OPS before moving up.
- Jamie Ritchie also put up a .795 OPS in 72 games before moving up.
- 19 year old Frances Martes put up a 1.04 ERA in 52 innings, with 45K's, 13 walks and a .885 WHIP.
- Sean McMullen had 21 extra base hits in 218 at bats before moving up.
The highlight of the first half of the season was a 20 game stretch from April 29 to May 19 where they went 18-2, and included a 12 game winning streak. I don't think even our championship teams of recent years ever got quite this hot. During this stretch they outscored their opponents 131 to 66.
Perhaps the signature game on this torrid stretch was the one on May 18th versus the Beloit Snappers. The River Bandits won this game 8-0, and held the Snappers to just 2 hits. Daniel Mengden went 6 innings and allowed just the two hits. He was relieved by Keegan Yuhl who threw two shutout innings, and then Jose Montero closed the game out in the 9th. On offense, it was the Sean McMullen show. He went 3 for 4, with a double, triple and home run. He was a single short of the cycle. He also had 2 RBIs and 2 runs. Mott Hyde had a good game, going 2 for 4 with 2 RBI and 1 run.
In the second half of the season a big chunk of the roster had moved up, but something funny happened: they just kept winning. They went 43-27, which was good for the 2nd place, and 5 GB of Kane County in the 2nd half standings. This gave them a 88-50 record for the whole season, which was tops in the league, and the 2nd best in franchise history.
The most remarkable thing they did in the 2nd half was they put together a second 12 game winning streak. To have 2 twelve game winning streaks in the same season is absurd, especially doing it after losing so many players to call ups. This second 12 game streak happened from July 26 to August 8th. They outscored opponents 74 to 20 on this streak!
The signature game on this streak was win #12, which was a road game against the Dayton Dragons on August 8. The Bandits won this one 10-0, holding the Dragons to just 5 hits. Josh James put up this pitching line: 6IP, 7K, 2BB, 5H, 0R. Eric Peterson and Steve Naemark combined for the last 3 innings to preserve the shutout. On offense Nick Tanielu went 2 for 4 with a HR, 3 RBI and 1 run. Bobby Boyd went 2 for 3 with a walk, 3 RBI and 2 runs scored.
So how did the Bandits keep winning despite losing so many players to callups? Well, while the well-known players like Nottingham and Fisher were getting all the attention in the 1st half, this core group of players were quietly putting together a really solid season:
- Nick Tanielu played 109 games and hit .311 with 70 RBI and a .796 OPS.
- Bobby Boyd played 116 game and hit .282 with 65 runs.
- Jason Martin played 104 games and had a .748 OPS.
- Kristian Trompiz played solid defense in 112 games at SS and 2B and had 40 RBI and 48 runs.
- Joshua James had a 2.63 ERA in 116.1 innings.
- Brock Dykxhoorn put up a 3.88 ERA in 109 innings.
Then they also got these reinforcements to replace some of the callups:
- Bryan Muniz put up a .864 OPS in 44 games in the second half.
- Drew Ferguson played 43 games in the outfield and hit .292.
- Trent Woodward caught 26 games and hit .294.
- Dean Deetz had a 0.76 ERA in 35.1 innings, going 5-1.
- Agapito Barrios had a 1.65 ERA over 27.1 innings.
Astros fans should be excited to see what a lot of these players do as they move up through the different levels of minor league baseball. The Astros have put together a remarkably deep minor league system. Next up is the playoffs where the River Bandits will be facing off against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.

Tyler Ulis picked up his second foul against Vanderbilt with 6:58 left in the first half.
He went to the bench, which has become the accepted – almost automatic – practice in college basketball these days. In fact, more often than not, a player with two first-half fouls won't get back in the game until the second half.
Ulis was back in the game two minutes later. In that time, there was a perceptible change in Kentucky's offense. Gliding up and down the court on ice skates, the Cats had built a 29-16 lead. With Ulis out, the ice skates became snowshoes. The ball stopped moving. The passes, screens and cuts lost their crispness. Passes meandered around the perimeter, the players seemed confused and out of their rhythm, some bad shots were taken.
Kentucky did not score for nearly another four minutes, and the lead was down to seven and dwindling. Ulis came back in the game, stole the ball, set up Charles Matthews for a shot, the lead went back to nine, and the UK ship was righted.
Any Wooden Award voter wondering just how valuable this candidate is to his team should have scribbled some notes and filed them away. Ulis may not end the season with the gaudy statistics of, say, Melo Trimble at Maryland or Buddy Hield at Oklahoma – or even his own teammate, Jamal Murray. He may not have a dunk reel like Ben Simmons at LSU. Who knows? He might not (heaven forbid) be able to put on a big national show at the Final Four.
But those of us who watch him every game are amazed at his ability to do what he does. He's fun to watch, a waterbug dribbling through and around all those tall trees, the ball never leaving the other end of his yo-yo string. But he's not just putting on a show. He's as much a complete player as his two most illustrious – and taller – predecessors at the position, 6-foot-4 John Wall and 6-foot-3 Brandon Knight.
We got a glimpse of all that last year, of course, but last year John Calipari could afford to spot Ulis. Andrew Harrison carried the heavy load. What went unnoticed, though, was that through the SEC and NCAA tourneys Ulis actually led the Cats in minutes played (until that last Wisconsin game, when Calipari admittedly went with the Harrisons down the stretch "out of loyaltyâ€).
So the expectations were high this year about how good Ulis would be with the ball and the playing time all to himself. With high-powered scorers like Murray, Skal Labissiere and Isaiah Briscoe coming in (yes, we did think Skal and Briscoe would be high-powered scorers), all Ulis had to do was bring the ball upcourt, set the offense, dish and stay out of the way.
Uhhhh, no! For a variety of well-documented reasons – lack of a post presence, primarily – when Kentucky is in its half-court set, it has a tendency to use the entire shot clock. Soon, it's under 10 and Ulis is evaluating his options.
When he was point guard on the New York Knicks' NBA championship teams of the early 1970s, Walt Frazier once observed that, for 45 minutes, everyone called for the ball – "Clyde, Clyde, over here, I'm open†– until the games' final minutes. Then, he said, he only saw the backs of teammates' heads. Given that his teammates included Willis Reed, Earl Monroe, Cazzie Russell, Jerry Lucas, Bill Bradley, Dave DeBusschere and Dick Barnett, it's unlikely anyone was shy about taking a pressure shot. Still, it makes a great story!
One wonders if Ulis sees only the backs of people's heads. He certainly sees teammates who give the ball right back to him. Then it's five seconds on the clock, and his options become Murray (who could probably get off a shot sitting in the back seat of a Mini Cooper) or take the shot himself.
I don't think anyone expected Ulis to be a scoring leader on this team, but he's led the team in five of the last eight games, is averaging 19 points per game in SEC play and has shown a remarkable ability to drain that buzzer-beater, whether from beyond the three-point line or in the paint.
Those are the kinds of things that address value and leadership. I'm guessing that when he speaks to teammates in those informal huddles around the free throw circle or glares into someone's eyes, he's not being ignored.
He doesn't scream like his coach. But his play on the floor sure does. VT

When the last days were upon me, and the ugly trifles of existence began to drive me to madness like the small drops of water torturers let fall ceaselessly upon one spot of their victim's body, I loved the irradiate refuge of sleep. In my dreams I found a little of the beauty I had vainly sought in life, and wandered through old gardens and enchanted woods.
