There have been no coronavirus related deaths recorded in Northamptonshire hospitals for the first time.
NHS England's latest figures show Northampton General Hospital, Kettering General Hospital and Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust have not registered any deaths related to Covid-19.
This is the first time that none of the county's three NHS trusts have recorded any deaths since March 25.
The figures released do not take into account any deaths that have occurred in the county's care homes. Meanwhile, NHS England said today a further 59 people have died with coronavirus in hospitals across the country.
It means the total number of confirmed reported deaths in hospitals in England is now 27,490.
Of these patients, all were aged between 34 and 100 years old. Three patients (aged between 54 and 68) had known underlying health conditions.

The king is dead, long live the king! In the case of the Porsche 911 Turbo S, we might now be waiting for the arrival of the 992 version, yet a worthy stop-gap appears to have arrived in the form of the lastest, 770 hp, TechArt GTstreet RS!
The top level of TechArt's Porsche 911 program is set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2019 the week after next. the TechArt GTstreet RS won't be widely available though. TechArt have announced a limited edition run of ten examples, based on the 991 Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Forged carbon is the flavour of the month. TechArt received the memo and have delivered in dramatic fashion. A new forged carbon fibre body kit underpins the project. It includes a new front apron with front spoiler, lip and additional air intakes. The headlights get carbon airframes and flaps optimise downforce. The new front hood gets a custom touch with the edition number lacquered into the clear paint. Design wise, NACA air inlets supply cooling air to the braking system.
The side profile includes a new set of carbon front fenders with larger carbon louvres to vent the wheel arch. A ram air scoop has been added to the rear lid to help with cooling. The active rear wing is redesigned and works in combination with the rear diffuser. To reduce weight, Techart has even replaced the rear and rear side mirrors with Gorilla glass.
Each axle receives a special version of the forged TechArt Formula IV Race centre lock wheels. Aero rings have been incorporated into the carbon fibre to protect the brake system from stone-chipping and to reduce air turbulence behind the wheels.
Headlines will be written (our own included) about the insane power outputs achieved by the TechArt GTstreet RS. The 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine produces more power than the GT2 RS. Among the modifications carried out by TechArt are the new turbochargers. A set of TechArt quad titanium tailpipes are visible at the back.
An additional 190 hp is generated for a total figure of 770 hp together with an additional 170 Nm of torque, a total of 920 Nm. The additional power allows blistering pace. 100 km/h is dispatched in just 2.5 seconds. 200 km/h in 8.1 seconds. Terminal velocity is an electronically limited 340 km/h.
TechArt offers a coilover suspension system for the PDCC. A retrofitted noselift system is also on offer and provides an additional 60 mm of ground clearance.
TechArt's interior blends virgin wool with leather and Alcantara. A new sports steering wheel has been fitted together with a set of sports seats, 6-point racing seatbelts, a roll bar and colour-matched door openers. All customers will also receive a racing helmet, a helmet bag and a document wallet finished in the colour of the individual vehicle.

Social warfare erupts when three high school clique queens battle for supremacy and an unassuming teen (Michael J. Willet) unwittingly becomes the hottest new accessory -- The Gay Best Friend -- in the quirky indie comedy G.B.F. Watch our exclusive clip in which Rebecca Gayheart and Jonathan Silverman display their cluelessness as parents -- and offer up a gluten-free treat!
In theaters Friday, G.B.F. finds those teen queens -- drama diva Caprice (Xosha Roquemore), Mormon princess 'Shley (Andrea Bowen) and blonde fashionista Fawcett (Sasha Pieterse) -- duking it out for supremacy. When Tanner (played by Willet) is outed as gay, he suddenly becomes the ultimate G.B.F. and the clique queens pounce, forcing him to choose between popularity and the true friends, including his own B.F.F. Brent (Paul Iacono) that he's leaving behind.
G.B.F. also stars Megan Mullally, Natasha Lyonne, Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, Evanna Lynch, Michael J. Willett and Molly Tarlov.

Divided into four chapters of carefully selected themes, the book contained heartfelt testimonies as well as stories that captured the various facets and aspirations of the company, which ultimately served to commemorate Tan Sri Liew's tenure at SP Setia.
The interviews were difficult as many respondents heap praises on Tan Sri Liew, but he didn't want them to talk about him (or their SP Setia homes). Rather, he wanted them to share about their own lives and aspirations. The book was to be given to all stakeholders, including staff, home-owners, partners and associates.
As the intention of the book was to feature the stories of individuals rather than the company or its CEO, the design of the cover and slipcase is purposely understated—the all-white cover and slipcase play with texture, embossing, gloss UV varnish, and a horizontal strip of black-and-white portraits of the interviewees that goes all around the cover.

Miriam from Honduras: "Communities are being displaced and cultures lost"
Stand for land rights
For local communities and indigenous peoples, land rights are not just an abstract concept – they're a matter of survival. But all too often, their rights to land are ignored or denied, leaving them vulnerable to land grabs by powerful governments and greedy corporations. This must stop.
Miriam's story
On the northern coast of Honduras, Afro-Honduran Garifuna communities have lived for centuries.
At any gathering, you can hear men beating drums crafted from local hardwoods, while women dance and sing songs about their people's history. It's the story of the integration of West Africans with the indigenous Caribes and Arawacos, making lives for themselves as farmers on the Caribbean coast of Central America.
But now their homes, farms and even the wood for their drums are at risk from palm oil plantations, real estate barons, and hotel developers who, with the government's blessing, are forcibly taking and exploiting their land, threatening their livelihoods.
Miriam Miranda is the indomitable leader of the Fraternal Organization of Black People of Honduras. She talks passionately about her fight to protect Garifuna lands and identity, her hands emphasizing every point. She tells us how "communities are being displaced, and cultures are being lost, because of the expansion of tourism and other developments."
Barely taking a breath, she adds "but Garifuna women have incredible strength."
Míriam has made powerful enemies. Yet she does not flinch while telling us how she was beaten by police during a peaceful protest, how it feels to be labeled a criminal by the state, and detailing the death threats she has received. These are not idle threats: one of her associates and close friend, indigenous Lenca leader Berta Cáceres, who was active opposing several projects threatening her peoples' lands, was assassinated in March.
Miriam and her community are asking the government of Honduras to approve a law that would ensure local communities have the right to freely accept or reject new projects that impact their land. Despite the danger, nothing will stop Miriam's fight. Because it is about more than just land – it is about the youth and their future.
Join the Stand for Land campaign
Over 100 environmental and human rights defenders have been killed in Honduras in the last six years. This must stop. The government of Honduras and the international financial institutions need to fully recognize and uphold the land rights of the indigenous peoples and local communities. Share this story.
Custodians of the land, defenders of our future
We are in the midst of the single biggest attack in the world today on people's identity, rights, livelihoods and security, as well as our environment. They cannot afford to lose this fight, nor can we.
Why indigenous and community land rights matter for everyone
The failure to recognize community land rights not only undermines the human rights of local people. It also threatens humanity's ability to achieve food security and fight climate change.
Teddy, Quechua leader from Peru: "We need formal land titles to protect our territory"
For 40 years, the Quechua communities in Peru have lived with contaminated rivers, and poor health as a result of oil drilling. Teddy Guerra is leading the effort to obtain integral land rights for his community before any more concessions are given to oil companies. Read his story and sign the petition.

Ever wondered if that daily cup of coffee was either harmful or good for you? the short answer, it's really good for you. It appears it can help you live longer.
It appears long as you hold the additives such as sugar and dairy, coffee has a wealth of dietary biological and mental benefits.
During this observational study of nearly 20,000 individuals, it has been found that higher coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of death, according to research presented today at ESC Congress. People who consumed at least four cups of coffee daily had a 64% lower risk of early death compared to those never or rarely consumed coffee.
Interestingly enough, it was also found that the reduction in risk was "more significant once people reached the age of 45", potentially suggesting that it may be even more beneficial for us to consume coffee as we age.
On top of the recently discovered research, we know that coffee is a natural source the popular stimulant caffeine. Which on its own has a whole wealth of metabolic benefits ranging from an increase in heart rate and body temperature? You might say that does not sound very beneficial, but in fact, an elevated heart-rate and increase in body temperature can help increase the amount calories you burn by just breathing at rest. A known Vaso-constrictor, caffeine can restrict blood flow, but when used in unison with a vasodilator such as grapes and grapeseed, or a topical essential oil such as Cinnamon, coffee can be a great motivator for weight loss and fitness.
Check out our New Launch of topical CBD oil featuring the aromatherapeutic benefits of Essential Oils — different blended scents for different daily purposes.

International Relations Research and Study Opportunities
Interested to Pursue a Degree in International Relations?
It is absolutely vital to study international relations today. In the world of globalization and crisis, terrorist attacks and organized crime, wars and environmental risks, proper management of international relations and accurate diplomacy are the only way out.
Degree studies on international relations boost analytical and critical thinking, leadership skills, writing and research skills. These academic programs drive students to think what is there behind the conflict and how to achieve cooperation.
Bachelor degree students choose from a wide pool of courses such as history, culture, international law, political institutions, anthropology and sociology. Whereas master degree students enroll in more specialized courses and explore influence of international relations on development of economies, political systems and wider globalization.
The highest academic degree program, PhD, in international relation is an attempt to explore different academic thoughts and various aspects of diplomacy.
Employers in public and non-profit sector are in constant search of outstanding graduates of international relations. While a degree in international relations is not that specific, as accounting or architecture, the graduates of international relations department easily find themselves employed in various fields due to their analytical and thinking abilities.
Conferences, Symposiums and Other Events on International Relations
Workshops, conferences and symposiums bring together scholars and academics, students and practitioners, representatives of non-profit sector. Participants of these events discuss current challenges to peace and sustainable development, alternatives to military intervention in resolving conflicts and many other issues that can be effectively settled through proper international relations and diplomacy.

Q: number of integer solutions to $2x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = n$ I'm working on a problem for which I need to efficiently compute the number of integer solutions to equations of the form $x_1 + \cdots + x_k = n$ with some subset of $\{x_1, \dots, x_n\}$ equivalent.
For example, the problem stated in the title: $x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = n$ with $x_1 = x_2$
I know how to find the number of integer solutions to such an equation without the added restraint of equivalent variables. I'm also familiar with adding restraints of the form $x_i \geq m$. But I don't see how to adapt that method here.
In my combinatorics book, similar problems are tackled using generating functions. I believe that the generating function for my equation would be:
$$(1+x^2 + x^4 + \cdots)(1+x + x^2 + \cdots)^2 = \dfrac{1}{1-x^2} \dfrac{1}{(1-x)^2}$$
But unless there is a way to put this into the form $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n$ and thus recover $a_n$ I don't see how to make use of it.
Ideally, I would like to find a method that works for $2x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = n$ and which can also be extended to cases with more variables and different subsets of equivalent variables.
A: Use partial fractions:
$$\eqalign{
\frac1{1-x^2}\frac{1}{(1-x)^2}
&=\frac1{(1+x)(1-x)^3}\cr
&=\frac18\Bigl(\frac{1}{1+x}+\frac{7-4x+x^2}{(1-x)^3}\Bigr)\cr
&=\frac18\Bigl(\frac{1}{1+x}+\frac1{(1-x)}+\frac2{(1-x)^2}
+\frac{4}{(1-x)^3}\Bigr)\cr
&=\frac18\sum_{n=0}^\infty\bigl((-1)^n+1+2(n+1)+2(n+1)(n+2)\bigr)x^n\cr

Jack Ryan Season 3 Release Date, Cast Updates And Thrilling Storyline
Its narrative will be about is the thing we as a mass are assuming now
Jack Ryan is a political spine chiller web TV arrangement, characters of which rely upon Ryanverse made by Tom Clancy. It first appeared on Amazon in 2018. It is generally an employable administration show that consolidates unusual activity, surge, pressure, and all that is basic to keep the group and fans stick to it.
Two seasons have recently been communicated, and now Amazon authorities are planning for the third season. It's been attested that Jack Ryan season 3 is happening on Amazon Prime Video, anyway when it discharges and what its story will be about is the thing we as a whole are suspecting now.
Ordinary showrunner promises in 2019
After a viable reconsideration of the late maker Tom Clancy's infamous American legend, John Krasinski returns as Jack Ryan in season 2. This time, the CIA master looks into a mystery in Venezuela that results in a noteworthy political crisis that could have worldwide seismic ramifications.
As indicated by the official report, the moves of the last style saw that the exit of Carlton Cuse, Lost, Bates Motel, who, after first structure up the Tom Clancy rebuilding property for TV with co-showrunner Graham Roland, wandered again from his ordinary showrunner commitments in 2019.
John Karasinski will make an appearance as Jack in Jack Ryan Season 3
The bad behavior thrill ride show of, Prison Break, which from the beginning ran from 2005 to 2008 at long last got a modifying in 2017 season, with another season potentially coordinated, the new showrunner Paul Scheuring brings TV presentation from Discovery Channel in 2014 Richard Madden's, Klondike, that included Jack Ryan's Abbie Cornish, and spine chiller course of action, Zero Hour.
Besides all of these exercises administered by him, he, in like manner, made the 2018 Gerard Butler, Den of Thieves, and the 2003 Vin Diesel movement flick. It is attested that John Karasinski will make arrival as Jack in Jack Ryan Season 3. Be that as it may, with the completion of season two.
Most are made by Clancy that part Jack Ryan or his buddies in the Ryanverse. There were various requests raised that who will arrive the accompanying season, and that is the primary clarification it isn't attested that Is every one will come from the past season. It is assumed that James Greer and Mike November or Harry Bauman can make an arrival Season 3.
Maker Tom Clancy made the character Jack Ryan, and it has first appeared in a long time 1984 novel The Hunt For Red in October. By and by, there are 28 books; most are made by Clancy that element Jack Ryan or his mates in the Ryanverse.
There is no lack of choices
Multiple occasions this character has been on the big screen expected the employments during the time by Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck, Chris Pine, and Harrison Ford. Krasinski adventures ahead to get that association together with season one and is by and by the longest-tenured Jack Ryan.
Jack Ryan's underlying two seasons include risks and dangers from Islamic fomenters and a savage political race in Venezuela. What extraordinary geopolitical situation will Jack need to address in season 3, absolutely there is no absence of decisions.

Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate met with Pakistani President Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan here on Tuesday.
The royal couple arrived in Pakistan on a five-day visit Monday night. And this is their first official visit to the country. The British High Commission said they began their tour of Pakistan with a "day of education, conservation and official engagements" in Islamabad.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge held official meetings with the president and the prime minister of Pakistan.
The state radio reported that the Duke of Cambridge thanked the president of Pakistan for the warm welcome and hospitality extended to him and his entourage.
They appreciated the initiatives undertaken by the government of Pakistan to combat climate change and to alleviate poverty, Radio Pakistan reported.
The Duke and Duchess will visit Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, and northern areas of Pakistan.
The British High Commission said the royal couple program includes visiting projects which empower young people, and communities that are rapidly responding and adapting to the effects of climate change.
During the visit, they will meet a wide variety of people, including children and young people, leaders from government, faiths leaders, business and the charity sector, inspiring conservationists and well-known cultural figures and sporting stars.

You may have seen my tweet and status yesterday about my dad's company warehouse right behind the Lowe's that was destroyed by the tornado in Sanford. If you missed it, a woman found a sign from one of their trailers 60 miles away in Wake Forest. 60 miles away. Crazy. Funny tidbit that we realized Saturday when we started hearing about all the devastation is that all our stuff that we moved from Chicago was almost stored in this warehouse. But then we decided not to.
Everything was just sucked out.
This is the only thing unscathed — the dump truck. Weird.
And this makes it look like there was never anything in there. Do you know how heavy that thing is?
But this is just a warehouse. Full of stuff that is replaceable. Thoughts and prayers with all those who suffered unfathomable and irreplaceable loss.

In Weber Street Liquor, I discover a new cooler devoted to this boozy Denver-made ice cream from Bootleg Creamery. Irish Coffee and Maple Bourbon pints ($7.50) end up in my hands. They melt quickly when out of the freezer, due to their 6.25-percent ABV I'm guessing. The latter bears a boozy bourbon backbone and smooth maple tone, as expected, plenty lavish. The Irish Coffee impresses us more, not as overtly hooch-forward, more java dominant with an Irish cream lead and whiskey essence and bits of cookie crumble. Both pose a binge risk, and therein lies my main complaint: excessive sugar, 40 grams in 4 ounces (one serving), so 160 grams/pint, which you know many have consumed in one sitting. (The World Health Organization advises 25g a day, max.) Bootleg's website mentions "premium ingredients," which caramel coloring and polysorbate 80 aren't. My vote: Add a spoonful or two to coffee, or buy a more modestly sweet ice cream and add your own spirits atop.

Saxon University Report
Studying and Mobility
Migration behaviour of freshmen and students in Saxony
Financing provided by the European Social Fund and the Free State of Saxony, within the framework of the funding guideline "ESF Hochschule und Forschung" – state innovation promotion.
Goals / Summary
The German university landscape has been undergoing a radical change for a few years. The universities are facing enormous competitive pressure. Each university is trying to raise their position in the competition through strengthening their profiles, attracting and retaining renowned scientists as well as recruiting qualified students.
The attractiveness and lure of a university are important criteria for recruitment, which in turn represent an indication of its appeal. Results of empirical research of students shows sedentariness in both West and East Germany emerging already since the 1960s. This means that the strongly suspected mobility does not exist and that the proximity to home is one of the most important deciding factors in the choice of place to study.
The choice of place to study dramatically affects demographic change. In western Germany there will be an excess of freshmen due to doubled high-school graduating classes while the east will see a shortage. In order to draw attention to the opportunities to study in Saxony and eastern Germany the state started the ad campaign "It's best to start your studies in Saxony". For the former East German states the image campaign "Studying in the Far East" followed. Through attaining a greater number of freshmen, the ultimate goal is to gain more graduates for Saxony. A lack of demand for study places and the imminent lack of highly qualified graduates would have negative effects on the economy in Saxony.
With the help of official statistics, the dissertation project will examine the mobility of freshmen and students and will also map out the catchment area of universities in Saxony. How mobile have those with university entrance qualifications, freshmen and students become over the years? Have the catchment areas changed? Are there signs that Saxony's ad campaign is showing initial results? How well can mobility be recorded in official statistics? These are the main questions to which adequate answers should be found. In a short digression it will also be attempted to show the mobility of Saxon graduates based on preexisting quantitative surveys.

The F-35 Stealth Fighter: The Ultimate Weapon or the Ultimate Bust?

The debate rages on.
by Joseph Trevithick
As with the air-to-air fights, we don't know how close the bombs had to land to score a hit. We also don't know what, if any, role the F-35's advanced cameras and radars played in finding the targets in the first place.
But defense contractor Ratheyon has claimed the bombs generally hit within four feet of where troops on the ground point their laser targeting beams. In continuous production since 1976, the GBU-12 is in widespread service with air forces around the world.
From the available information, the Air Force is making progress in getting the F-35 ready for real world combat. But serious questions remain surrounding what the jet's "initial" capabilities will really be when it truly matters.
Carlisle himself has offered slightly conflicting statements about what the rest of the decade will look like for his stealthy fighters. The flying branch might send the Lightning IIs to fight the Islamic State … but only if the Pentagon asks for them.
"The minute I declare initial operational capability, if the combatant commander calls me up and says they needed F-35s, I would send them," Carlisle told reporters at the Royal International Aviation Tattoo, a massive annual air show in the United Kingdom, on June 13. "I would explain its capabilities in its current state" and then "deploy the fighter if asked."
But Carlisle suggested "F-35s not likely to deploy to Iraq or Syria until 2017 or 2018 even if declared battle ready this year," Defense One's Marcus Weisgerber, at RAF Fairford for the show, tweeted out on June 7.
It's important to note that the Air Force has the authority to set whatever requirements it thinks are reasonable to classify the F-35s as ready for combat. In 2012, Carlisle's predecessor at Air Combat Command Gen. Mike Hostage quietly watered down the criteria to try and keep the project on schedule.
"There exists no formal uniform guidance in the Department of Defense for declaring initial operational capability … for weapon systems," U.S. Army Major Robert Cabiness, a Pentagon spokesman, told War Is Boring in an email.
In the opinion of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, the F-35A's newest software provides only a "limited combat capability."
The U.S. Navy is the only service that plans to wait for its F-35C to finish independent operational testing and evaluation before declaring them combat capable. The U.S. Marine Corps said its F-35Bs were ready for action in July 2015.
"While nearing completion, the F-35 is still in development, and technical challenges are to be expected," the Pentagon's top weapons buyer Frank Kendall and the head of the main F-35 program office Air Force Lt. Gen. Christopher Bogdan, wrote in a joint statement presented to the Senate on April 26. "However, we believe the combined government-industry team has the ability to resolve current issues and future discoveries."
The most recent concern is a discovery that the F-35's ejection seats may not be safe. Tests have shown that pilots weighing between 103 and 136 pounds have at least a one in five chance of dying if they bail out. Despite Bogdan's office insisting the problems were fixable, the Air Force is looking into alternatives, according to a report by Defense News.
In the meantime, we'll just have to wait and see if the Air Force has made real progress with the vexing stealth jet — or just exposed new hurdles.

Epsom Derby 2021 runners and riders: horse-by-horse guide and our tip on who will win
Can anyone beat Bolshoi Ballet?
Credit: PA
Britain's most significant races in 2020 have all gone across the water to Ireland and Jim Bolger can stick the boot in further by winning the Cazoo Derby with Mac Swiney.
In an outstanding 45-year career, Bolger, 79, has "produced" a number of humans and horses significant to the racing world; Sir Anthony McCoy, Aidan O'Brien, Paul Carberry, Kevin Manning (his 54-year-old son-in-law who is in the hot seat today), St Jovite, and, perhaps most pertinent to Mac Swiney, New Approach, the 2008 Derby winner and the colt's sire.
New Approach was one of the most underestimated Derby winners. He fought Manning for his head for the first six furlongs, but came home as hard as he went out. As a stallion, he has already sired a Derby winner in Masar. His son is the logical choice today, especially after a significant amount of rain fell yesterday, in what looks an open edition but, nevertheless, one capable of throwing up a smart winner, which, in relative terms, the race has lacked since it was won by subsequent Arc winner Golden Horn in 2015.
The chances of it being a better race improved dramatically when O'Brien decided at the 48-hour stage to field just a single runner, Bolshoi Ballet, the favourite, and not the usual squadrons of pacemakers, diversions and distractions. Sure, at least one jockey will come in and say they did not go fast enough for him, but it gives the race a chance to develop organically and, in theory, it brings the speed horses into play rather than setting up for he who plods the longest.
Classic form is generally the best. It should be stronger than the trials and, having won the Irish Guineas, beating the English Guineas winner Poetic Flare, Mac Swiney is not just the only Classic-winning colt in the contest, he is the only one to have won at Group One level as a juvenile apart from Gear Up. Those two apart, there are no other Group One winners in the race. And while some runners will get metaphorically dashed on the treacherous rocks of Tattenham Hill's shoreline, and the race will reveal others to be mere handicappers masquerading as Group One colts, and generally sort the men from the boys, it is not to say there is not one or more in the field who aspire to Mac Swiney's level. Bolshoi Ballet is favourite for good reason.
He is trained by O'Brien, who has won the race a record eight times, including six of the last nine. He had an under-par Mac Swiney behind him in the Derrinstown, which he won by seven lengths, and he is by super-sire Galileo, but his dam's sire, Anabaa, was an out-and-out sprinter, which raises a small question mark in my mind about a mile and a half. I like unbeaten colts because it means their limits have not yet been reached and Charlie Appleby's Hurricane Lane is the only one yet to have tasted defeat among today's dozen runners.
He is workmanlike and not flashy, does not win by the length of a cricket pitch when the width of the popping crease will do. Sea The Stars was a bit like that. One Ruler has two-year-old form with Mac Swiney and ran a good race in the Guineas, but he wears the Godolpin No 2 silks. Hurricane Lane is one of five Frankel colts in the race. Another is Frankie Dettori's mount, John Leeper, who is named after his trainer Ed Dunlop's father, John Leeper Dunlop, who trained Shirley Heights and Erhaab to win the race. He is going the right way, but whether he is quite there yet I have my doubts.
Mohaafeth cantered all over his rivals in a Newmarket Listed race last time and was vying with Mac Swiney for my selection until the ground turned good to soft yesterday. He looks a fast-ground horse. Each-way chances include the Lingfield Trial winner Third Realm, and Youth Spirit. Indeed, if it went to the owner who had made the most effort to be at Epsom then it would be won by Youth Spirit, the Chester Vase winner.
He carries the silks of Ahmed Al Shaikh who began his journey from Dubai 17 days ago, travelled to Greece, an amber-list country, where he stayed for 12 days before flying on to London, where he self-isolated for five days. "This is the situation," explained Al Shaikh, who owned last year's runner-up Khalifa Sat. "If he finishes in the top five, I will be very pleased, but I think he can do better than that.
"I believe in this horse and he will fight. I have just 15 horses, so to have Derby runners two years in a row is like a dream."
But it has been a good year in sport for those not in the first flush of youth and today Bolger can become the oldest winning Derby trainer and Manning the second oldest jockey ever to win it.
Marlborough's horse-by-horse guide
The 241st Epsom Derby takes place on Saturday. Here, Marlborough takes you through each of the runners and gives his verdict on who will win.
Adayar
Long-striding, consistent son of Frankel who has placed in two recognised Derby trials. Tough draw, ground has come in his favour but likely to appreciate further than 1m4f.
Powerful galloper whose six-length romp in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial rocketed him to the head of the Derby market. Sole Coolmore representative; the one to beat.
Group 1 winner on heavy ground last year. Seasonal reappearance in Dante saw him come up short; this trip will suit but too much to find here.
Hurricane Lane
Dante Stakes winner who has yet to be beaten in three career starts. Yesterday's rain will only have helped his chances and he has plenty going for him.
John Leeper
Imposing colt whose raw talent has thrust him into the Derby picture. Another who might have been helped by yesterday's rain. But will this test come too soon in his development?
Mac Swiney
Dual Group One winner whose record on good ground or faster reads 9-8-4 versus a soft-ground record of 5-1-1-1-1. This trip can help and the rains have come for him. Strong chance.
Best Epsom Derby offers and free bets
Mohaafeth
Strong-travelling colt who has come alive on fast ground this year. Rain unhelpful and not certain to relish this trip as well as some of his rivals; live chance nevertheless.
Jim Crowley aboard Mohaafeth
Mojo Star
Runner-up on both career starts in maiden/novice company. This major step up in class likely a bridge too far and will do very well to make his presence felt; outsider.
One Ruler
Finished a respectable sixth in the 2,000 Guineas, historically a strong pointer for this race. Major stamina doubts stepping up four furlongs in distance; will do well to figure.
Southern Lights
Suffered interference when staying on behind Bolshoi Ballet at Leopardstown latest. Can show more here up in trip, but surely has too much to find with some of these.
Third Realm
Looked potentially high-class in winning the Lingfield Derby Trial on soft ground at just his 3rd start. Must now translate that form. Ground will surely help; live chance.
Strong-staying winner of the Chester Vase, a race that has had a sizeable bearing on the Derby in recent years. That was on similar going and stamina assured; rates a lively outsider.
Our tip to win
It speaks volumes that, having had six horses entered prior to the final declarations, Coolmore have elected to field just one runner here in the shape of BOLSHOI BALLET, a thoroughly uncomplicated colt who has passed his two tests this season with flying colours. Bolshoi Ballet is sure to sit handy throughout and, with stamina assured, he can take plenty of pegging back. Of the remainder, Youth Spirit makes appeal as an each-way alternative – seven of the last nine runnings of the Chester Vase have produced a colt to finish in the first three in the Derby, including two winners.

If you're researching fencing options, you likely already know that there are many finishes and materials available to you. These include steel, wood, aluminum, chain link, and vinyl. Every type has its own set of benefits and disadvantages, but vinyl fences remain popular because of their affordability and versatility. Vinyl fences are durable; come in many colors, styles, and textures; and offer a number of price points. In addition, they need little maintenance and don't suffer from the problems of rot and termites.
You may not know that vinyl fence panels are non-toxic and even recyclable. Unlike wooden fences, there are no chemicals used to treat them. There are also no splinters or nails that can cause injury to someone using them. This type of fencing is environmentally friendly to boot, being fully recyclable makes these fences an eco-conscious alternative to wood fences, with contribute to a declining number of trees.
In addition to that, vinyl fences are very durable. They're both more flexible and stronger than wooden fencing, meaning they can handle the occasional run-in with the lawnmower or a falling branch. Because these fences are composed of materials that add flexibility, they also do better when harsh weather comes in, or a thorough pressure washing is required.
Vinyl fencing is also much cheaper than that of many other options, namely iron, and wood. You also save additional money since it requires very little maintenance to keep up. There's no repainting or treatments that need to be applied. Vinyl fences are simply superior when it comes to which type of fences can hold up the longest.
These are only a few of the benefits of this type of fencing. You can rest assured that they also are easy to install, making them an excellent choice for many consumers in the search for the perfect fence material.

Landlords play a key role in our business for the simple reason that they provide properties for us to let. It is therefore in our best interest to take care of our landlords.
Checking the property before the tenants occupy it and when they vacate it.
Having periodic checks of the property during the tenancy period to ensure the property is kept at its best.

The short answer to whether my passion for positive reinforcement applies to my work with my human clients is 'yes – of course.' Like all dogs and almost all other animals, we humans respond better to encouragement and praise than we do to fear of punishment and pain. Just look at how we've developed as a society in terms of how most of us raise our kids. When I was going to school, I still remember getting the switch (British version of the paddle) when I was naughty or got something really wrong. Nowadays, thank goodness we've evolved and our children are built up and encouraged to try, fail, try again and eventually aim to succeed – all with a positive spirit. That's why I say that the way we raise our kids is very similar to the way positive trainers work with dogs. It's very much the same.
The only caveat to the whole 'positive trainers should only use positive reinforcement with the owners too' concept is that there's a big difference between a mature, world-wise, emotionally complex and intelligently aware human adult and both dogs and most kids. Some people argue that positive reinforcement dog trainers should only ever practice positive reinforcement with their human clients as well, and that it's a double standard if they don't. And while that's a noble goal that is almost always the preferred and first choice for how to approach a situation with a client or friend regardless of dog training techniques, the comparison breaks down a bit when you try to ascribe the same level of expectation and communication techniques to dogs and sentient, intelligent human adults.
Think about it for a minute. Say you and a grownup friend both want the only glass of cold water in the room after you return from a long run. You're both thirsty and are dying for a drink. Now say your grown friend acted like a selfish, petulant baby by slamming the glass of water down, breaking the glass and saying 'If I can't have all of it, no one will have any of it!' If that exchange happened with a 3 year old, you'd have different expectations and handle the situation quite differently than if it were an 8 year old, an 18 year old, or a 48 year old. We quite rightly expect more mature people to better understand the consequences of their actions on others, exhibit more restraint, and generally behave better than a toddler.
Now apply this to dogs. Keep in mind that most dogs have the emotional maturity and intelligence level of an average 2 year old human child. You can't reason with them to the same extent you would a teenager or an adversary across a boardroom table. You can't expect the dog and toddler to be able to understand the complex nature of what you may be planning like an adult should. More specifically, you don't expect a mature adult to consciously make as many potentially dangerous, ego-centric choices, and your ability to withstand such immaturity from someone who should know better is understandably much less.
Over the course of 110-plus episodes of It's Me or the Dog, I've developed a bit of a reputation for not being particularly restrained when it comes to expressing my opinion and letting people know what I really think in a given situation. (Did I put that fairly?) Obviously a portion of that is due to the fact that while it's a dog training show, the networks need a bit of a story to be told and a bit of slight dramatics never hurt in that cause. But I never put anything on for the camera. If I acted shocked, disgusted or dumbfounded by something the owners or dogs did on a show, it was because I was genuinely shocked, disgusted or dumbfounded.
Some people who are not the biggest fans of positive training in general and me in particular have occasionally reached for the argument that I'm 'not nice' to people I work with on the show, and that that shows a certain hypocrisy in my methods since I preach so vehemently for positive, enriching relationship-building in my dog training methods. I respectfully disagree.
If someone is being a jerk, I'll tell them they're being a jerk and will not back down from it. If they're acting like a bully or endangering those around them – especially children – I'll let them know that I completely disapprove. I hold humanity in high regard, and expect a certain level of empathy, awareness, compassion and generally good, safe behavior from grown adults who should know better. When people don't act that way – whether it's my husband, someone on my TV show, or a work colleague – I have no problem calling things like I see it and labeling their words, actions or behavior as unintelligent, ignorant, or uninformed. I also fully expect everyone who interacts with me to hold me to the exact same standards (if not higher, given the added responsibility I've been blessed with due to my increased public profile).
But I wouldn't treat a dog or a young kid like with the same level of expectation. And I also wouldn't insult a grown adult by assuming they have the same level of awareness and inter-relational insight skills as a dog or a two year old toddler.
Sometimes dog training clients can be rude. Sometimes they can willfully make your life miserable. Sometimes they can get combative regarding suggested techniques just to spite you. In this day and age, there's no excuse for not being respectful of others and having an open mind regarding new ways to approach things, especially with an expert in their field. Turning the other cheek is great and something we should all do when we run into nasty people, but when supposedly mature people who should know better display ignorance or a superior attitude that just peeves you off, it's not always possible (or even advised) to look for an opportunity to ignore or redirect the bad and reward the good the way we do with young kids and dogs as positive trainers.
While positive training has been proven by modern behavioral science to be the most effective and long-lasting approach to building solid, trusting relationships with our pet dogs (and other animals), it's also generally a good guide to live your life by in your interactions with others. Sadly, however, there is ignorance, mischief and even malice in our human world among those with whom we sometimes live, work or play, and that malignancy comes from a different plane of consciousness than the more simple, beautiful mind and hearts of dogs and young children. With dogs, you never need a heavy hand – they don't understand why they're suffering it and it doesn't help them to learn deeper or faster. Plus it's not as fun and it breaks down the relationship. With mature human beings, though, very occasionally you may need to get in someone's face to make a real difference in the world – but only if there are no other options and you're sure that as sentient, rational beings they're fully able to comprehend the complexity and nuance of both yours and their own behavior and the impact it has on the world.
So do I use positive reinforcement when working with dogs? Yes, 100%. Do I use positive reinforcement on young children and those without an adult sense of maturity? Yes. Do I employ positive reinforcement concepts 100% of the time with grown people? No, not always when I'm dealing with those who should know better.

CRAFTER: Reviving Bronze Age Pottery in EU-funded Project
https://exarc.net/ark:/88735/10356
Carlos Velasco
Miguel Valério
EXARC Journal Issue 2018/3
The CRAFTER project aims at reviving modern-day artisanship by drawing inspiration from pottery traditions of four of the most remarkable Bronze Age societies of Europe: El Argar (south-eastern Spain), Únětice (Central Europe), Füzesabony (eastern Hungary) and Vatin (south Serbia).
Visual arts, didactics, and storytelling will be combined in order to show to a broad audience the revival and re-invention of an ancient craft.
Common to several societies of Bronze Age Europe was the manufacture of burnished drinking vessels and other high-quality tableware, which became central to new ways of commensality (e.g. Dietler 1996: 106). This last word, which literally means 'table-sharing', is well in line with the goal of sharing common spaces and values which characterises the 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH). A project named Crafting Europe in the Bronze Age and Today, CRAFTER for short, will draw inspiration from Europe's Bronze Age pottery to help revive modern-day artisanship. CRAFTER arises in the framework of Creative Europe, a programme connected to the EYCH that aims at making Europe's cultural heritage a shared resource and reinforce the sense of belonging to that common European space. To achieve this, Creative Europe focuses on projects aimed at making cultural heritage a source of inspiration for contemporary creation and innovation. Two reasons, equally in line with the aims of the 2018 EYCH, justify the focus of CRAFTER on manufactured pottery. First, it is severely endangered as a skill and trade, as a result of industrialization and modern consumption habits. In general, only potters who manage to re-invent their trade manage to survive. Second, pottery is a wealthy source of archaeological, historical, aesthetic and scientific values.
CRAFTER will be developed from July 2018 till December 2019 by a partnership of eight organisations from five European countries: Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Hungary and Serbia. These organisations are: the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the City Hall of Mula (Spain), EXARC (The Netherlands), the Halle State Museum of Prehistory (Germany), the Déri Museum of Debrecen and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Hungary) and the Hometown Museum of Paraćin (Serbia). At the head of the partnership is the Asociación de Amigos del Yacimiento de La Bastida (ASBA), i.e. "Friends Association of the Archaeological Site of La Bastida".
ASBA is a non-profit organisation from Totana (Spain), a locality known as "City of Potters" (Ciudad Alfarera in Spanish), and is devoted to the dissemination and protection of the Early Bronze site of La Bastida. Not incidentally, La Bastida was one of the main centres of El Argar, a society which controlled much of modern-day south-eastern Spain, between 2200 and 1550 BC. El Argar is an important milestone in Western Europe's Prehistory. In addition to significant urban and technological developments, this society introduced sharp social distinctions unseen in the previous Copper Age (Lull 1983; Lull et al. 2015). One of the characteristic aspects of El Argar is the fact that its ceramic production consisted essentially of eight vessel shapes, which were manufactured with a high degree of homogeneity during approximately six centuries (Siret and Siret 1887; Lull 1983). Importantly, amongst the members of ASBA is a local Totana potter who has experimented with recreating handmade Argaric ceramic vessels with significant success (See main Figure).
The first event of CRAFTER will be an international meeting between potters, archaeologists and other cultural heritage professionals. They will share knowledge, perspectives and experiences, with the goal of generating a set of synergetic skills and strategies that will assist potters in recreating ceramic vessels of the four regional Bronze Age cultures of Europe that inspire CRAFTER. The event will take place at the City Museum of Mula (Spain) in autumn 2018, therefore highlighting the European Year of Cultural Heritage.
This meeting will propel the second stage of CRAFTER, in which four potters from Spain, Germany, Hungary and Serbia will draw on their skills and experience to (re)create ceramic vessels representative of some of the most remarkable Bronze Age societies of Europe. In addition to the abovementioned El Argar, these include Únětice (Central Europe), Füzesabony (eastern Hungary) and Vatin (south Serbia).
The third line of action is parallel to the second, as it will consist of capturing the process of recreating the Bronze Age ceramic vessels in four documentary films. Visual arts, didactics, and storytelling will be combined in order to show to a broad audience the revival and re-invention of an ancient craft. To cite a particular case, ASBA will resort to (pre)historical re-enactment for its own production on the recreation of the eight Argaric pottery shapes. A potter will act and re-enact prehistoric processes of manufacture, showing actions, gestures, and techniques that characterised the craft in the past (some of which continue to this day). We believe this approach is ideal for the educational and dissemination goals of CRAFTER. As stressed in a recent contribution to this journal, a well-thought re-enactment with ties to real-life experiences has the potential to inspire audiences and motivate thinking and debate about the past, as well as its significance for the present (Krstović 2018).
The results of the three actions described thus far―shared knowledge, pottery recreations and films―will be shared with the public in the fourth event. This will be a gathering that will take place simultaneously in four museums in four of the countries participating in CRAFTER: the City Museum of Mula (Spain), the Halle State Museum of Prehistory (Germany), the Déri Museum in Debrecen (Hungary) and the Niš Museum with the Hometown Museum of Paraćin (both Serbia). Each event in each country will showcase the same elements: the sets of pottery recreations for each of the four Bronze Age traditions, the four documentary films and explicative panels. Other educational and communication elements will be displayed alongside the latter, for instance samples of raw materials (such as clays and non-plastic elements) or replicas of tools used by potters in the manufacturing process. Potters will also be invited for an open event where they can manufacture pottery live and show their trade to the public.
The fifth major goal of CRAFTER is to turn the experiences acquired by the potters in the context of the project into an opportunity to revive their trade. Our project is about sharing cultural heritage, preserving it, and finding innovative ways to make a sustainable tourism around it. To achieve this goal, the project's final commitment is to make the ceramic reproductions available at museums and online shops, in an effort to open a market for these new creations.
Co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. We are thankful to EXARC for its commitment to the project presented here, as well as their invitation to contribute this notice to EXARC's journal. We must also thank Pedro Navarro, José Costa (ASBA), Roberto Risch, Selina Delgado ("Bastida Project" – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), Eva Celdrán and Claudia Molero (ASBA and "Bastida Project") for many efforts that go into CRAFTER and are captured in this text. Sergio Celdrán and José Soldevilla made the two beautiful photographs that illustrate it. Finally, we wish to express our gratitude to the organisations in the partnership whose cooperation with ASBA is making CRAFTER a reality.

Competition to Give Rapper $1,000 for Spitting 16 Bars on Financial Literacy
Jeffrey McKinney September 30, 2019 September 30, 2019 753
(www.pexels.com)
After receiving over 100 song submissions, a new rap competition aimed at enlarging the insight of young African Americans about the finance world has been trimmed to 25 tracks. The just-announced shortlist comes after the launch in July of Stock Market Tracks, a rap competition collaboration by Invstr and STEAM16 that aims to "teach the world about finance one bar at a time."
A fantasy finance and mobile investing app aimed to educate the next generation of investors, Invstr is offering the contest to empower youth and enhance their understanding of Wall Street. The winner will be selected from the shortlist on Oct. 1 and collect a $1,000 first place-cash prize. A whopping 22 of the 25 tracks on the shortlist were from black artists. To listen to all the music videos, visit Stock Market Tracks' Instagram page, @StockMarketTracks.
The criteria for selecting the top 25 tracks included staying on topic, using clean language, following the guidelines of 16 bars per one minute, along with video and lyric quality. While most similar competitions are about finding the best singer/performer, the goal of Stock Market Tracks is to educate through entertainment and promote financial literacy. Organizers leveraged the competition to make the stock market something young people talk about.
While some progress has been made in recent years, the event comes as African Americans under 40 are investing in the stock market at lower rates than their white peers. The data showed the investment patterns for blacks in other age groups were also less than for whites. Another survey revealed that only 23% of millennials aged 18 to 37 report that the stock market is the best place to put the money they won't need for 10 years or more.
Ron Livingston, the founder of STEAM 16, a New York City-based youth group that educates youth in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) fields by using rap music, says the competition is just one way that the org plans to get young people interested in the stock market.
"This is a first step, and one that we hope will change people's minds about stock market investing," Livingston told Black Enterprise. "In the African American community, we talk a lot about power through ownership and investing. But investing isn't just about buying real estate, which can lead to a lot of debt and credit issues if not done properly."
He added, "It's also about investing in the stock market—which you can use your mobile phone to do right now via apps like Invstr that make investing easy and accessible for all. You can buy a low-cap stock on your phone at $1 and potentially watch it grow to $2 and more over time. We hope that contests like ours, and investing education in general, will democratize the stock market and encourages people of all backgrounds to invest."

WASHINGTON — The videos Democrats never wanted to see keep coming.
A day after President Obama tried to distance himself from a top health-care architect who said voter "stupidity" led to ObamaCare's passage, a video surfaced of Obama praising the offensive professor for his bright ideas.
The Washington Free Beacon uncovered a video from 2006 of Obama telling a Brookings Institution panel he had "stolen ideas liberally" from MIT professor Jonathan Gruber.
Gruber, a top architect of ObamaCare and Massachusetts' RomneyCare, has been under fire for a series of videos in which he credits a "lack of transparency" and the "stupidity of the American voter" for pushing through the federal health plan.

Here at the Bristol Boxing Gym we regard shadow boxing as one of the most vital aspects of boxing training as it allows you to study your boxing technique and correct errors with your form, footwork and defence. Shadow boxing allows you to have a proper feel for your punches and weight transfers. One of the best ways to develop balance in your boxing stance is by throwing punches that don't hit anything. This will enable you to tell if you're throwing your punches too hard or too wild.
We recommend a combination of shadow boxing in the ring and in front of the mirrors and we will explain the benefits of both. We also recommend to shadow with your hand wraps on and now again shadow with your gloves on. Shadow Boxing with light hand weights can also be a great fitness and strength workout.
Shadow Boxing in the Ring.
Shadow Boxing in the Ring gives you the opportunity to work in the space where it all happens. Once the bell rings you need to fully focus, creating a mental picture of an opponent is a great start. You need to imagine the punches coming at you so you slip and move looking to counter punch whilst on the back foot and then you can practice on your attacks moving forward off the front foot working on combinations.
Being in the ring can help you familiarise yourself with the ring and the space you have to work with. This allows you to use all the space and ropes to practice and this experience will benefit you when it comes to sparring and finally competitively boxing. Having this knowledge and being aware of where you are in the ring is known in the trade as ring generalship.
Shadow Boxing In Front of the Mirror.
The mirror is a great opportunity to take a look at yourself from your opponents point of view. You can examine your technique and especially your defence.
When learning new punches or combinations start slowly allowing you to perfect the technique before speeding things up. Again if a certain move or punch does not seem right break it down and analyse the technique to locate the problem. It is also a good idea to keep still while you're learning new techniques, followed by practising whilst moving.
For your first time you need to get into your boxing stance and practice moving in all four directions forward, back and side-to-side. To move forward you need to move your front foot first followed then by your back foot ensuring you maintain the correct distance between feet to remain balanced. You certainly don't want to get your feet into a position where they are too close together otherwise you'll be off balance. Whatever direction you move in you have to move that foot first, for example, to move backwards you move with you back foot first followed by your front foot. This will seem slightly robotic at first but slowly your rhythm will improve and it will eventually become much more fluid as you move around the ring. All steps should be small as you only need a sufficient amount to get in and out of punching range. A good guide for a step is two inches with each foot.
Next, incorporate some jabs with your steps. Throw your jab as you step in with your front foot. Remember to only make small foot movements as boxers work closely in and out of range and avoid jumping in and out. One thing to remember about all the punches is that you are going to want to turn your hips and shoulders into the punch. From there you can move onto combinations and before you know it you'll start looking like an accomplished boxer shadow boxing! But remember to constantly examine your technique as it will never be perfect as you will pick up bad habits and improvements can always be made.
For our beginner's classes we recommend to shadow box 3 or 4 round of 3 minute duration with a minute break, mixing the shadow between the ring and in front of mirrors.
For more experienced boxers we recommend to shadow box for around 4 – 6 rounds of a 3 minute duration with a minute break again mixing between the ring and in front of mirrors.
Fighters of all levels from a beginners first day in the gym to a World Champion all incorporate shadow boxing into their boxing training. It gives you the opportunity to practice and perfect your boxing technique and come fight night this could be the difference between winning and losing.

In full: Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam submits report to Beijing on banning pro-independence party, makes doc public
by Holmes Chan 16:24, 18 April 2019 Updated 22:53, 31 March 2020
Chief Executive Carrie Lam has publicised her report on the banning of the pro-independence Hong Kong National Party (HKNP), which was submitted to Beijing on Tuesday.
The 12-page document included a summary of the events leading up to HKNP's ban: last September, the party became the first in Hong Kong to be banned under the Societies Ordinance since the 1997 Handover.

On February 26, Lam told the public that Beijing had requested a report on the incident, which she said would cover "the process, the facts, and the legal procedure." While Hong Kong's leader regularly reports to the central government, it was considered unprecedented for Beijing to ask the chief executive to submit a written report on an issue.
According to the report publicised on Thursday, the Security Bureau began its internal deliberation last May. The process concluded in February after an appeal against the ban was dismissed by Lam and the Executive Council.
"Having given due consideration to the rights of the HKNP and the two appeal applicants, as well as the totality of the evidence and materials, the Chief Executive in Council took the view that the Secretary had solid reasons to make the order to prohibit the operation of the HKNP as it was necessary in the interests of national security, public safety, public order, and the protection of the rights and freedoms of others," the report read.
The report concluded by stating the government's zero-tolerance policy towards independence advocacy. At the time of its banning, the party was considered to have little public support and only a handful of members.
"Any act undermining national security is not in the interest of the nation, and would bring turmoil to the Hong Kong society," the report read, adding that the government will continue to prohibit such acts.
"The HKSAR has the responsibility to safeguard national security… 'Hong Kong independence' is inconsistent with the constitutional and legal status of the HKSAR under the Basic Law, as well as the established basic policies of the People's Republic of China regarding Hong Kong."
Reporting to Beijing
The report did not include arguments HKNP had made in its defence.
It did, however, include two redacted appendices: the full text of the Secretary for Security's decision to ban HKNP, and the letter informing HKNP's spokesman and convenor that their appeal had failed.

Both of those documents were previously made available to the media by the HKNP's founder and erstwhile convenor Andy Chan.
A government spokesperson described the report as containing the "the case background and summary of the process," and the redactions were done on the advice of the Department of Justice, in order to avoid affecting any possible legal proceedings.
Lam had previously defended Beijing's request for the report, saying there was "no question of interference."
Chan did not reply to HKFP's message asking for comment.
The Hong Kong Free Press #PressForFreedom 2019 Funding Drive seeks to raise HK$1.2m to support our non-profit newsroom and dedicated team of multi-media, multi-lingual reporters. HKFP is backed by readers, run by journalists and is immune to political and commercial pressure. This year's critical fundraiser will provide us with the essential funds to continue our work into next year.

a. The first image shows the tumor mass before any electrode is inserted.
b. The second image shows the tumor mass with the electrode inside. The radiofrequency procedure has started and micro bubbling from the heat is starting to form at the periphery.
It is not unusual for a radiologist in a major, medical research center to use imaging-guided, radiofrequency technology to destroy a liver cancer without the need for surgery. The procedure takes a skilled radiologist, a consulting surgical oncologist, an experienced team of interventional radiology technologists, and highly specialized medical equipment. So, when Beebe Medical Center radiologist Michael Ramjattansingh, MD, recently destroyed a cancerous tumor in the liver of a local patient working in the interventional radiology lab at the hospital and without a surgeon's touch, a sense of accomplishment spread amongst those at Beebe who treat cancer patients. "This is a huge accomplishment and revolutionizes the way we at Beebe take care of patients with tumors of the liver and biliary system," says surgical oncologist James E. Spellman, MD, of the Division of Surgical Oncology at Beebe Physician Network. "It allows us to continually expand the medical treatment options for cancer and to improve the care that we bring to this community." Surgically removing cancers of the liver is one of the many complex cancer surgical procedures that Dr. Spellman and surgical oncologist Chia-Chi Wang, DO, perform at Beebe Medical Center. Dr. Ramjattansingh, a skilled radiologist, is experienced in interventional radiology procedures, as well as reading and assessing the variety of images taken at the hospital. He has performed imaging-guided radiofrequency ablations of cancers in the operating room. In those situations, the surgeons were operating and the patients were under general anesthesia and surgically open, with their internal organs exposed. But this recent procedure was different. Surgical oncologist Dr. Wang had determined that the patient was not a candidate for surgery, even though the cancerous tumor needed to be removed from the liver. The patient had serious breathing problems and other health complications that made it a considerable risk for general anesthesia to be used. Dr. Ramjattansingh and Beebe's interventional radiology team had been educated in the latest radiofrequency ablation system, which would allow the nonsurgical procedure to be performed with a local pain killer, much like what is used in a dental office for a routine procedure. "The patient was able to talk to me throughout the procedure," Dr. Ramjattansingh recalled. "I wanted to make sure that he was comfortable. I told him exactly what to expect. He had no pain and went home the next day." Once the patient's abdomen was numb, Dr. Ramjattansingh inserted a probe through the skin, into the liver and into the cancerous tumor itself. He was able to follow the route of the probe by watching the image on an ultrasound screen. At the end of the probe was a needle electrode. Once he positioned the electrode within the tumor, the electrode delivered a radiofrequency that created so much heat that the tumor tissue was destroyed (ablated). The healthy tissue of the liver was not affected by the heat generated within the tumor. During the procedure, interventional radiology team members monitored the imaging and radiofrequency equipment. Dr. Ramjattansingh then carefully removed the probe and sealed the small incision. "We are extremely pleased to be able to bring this technology to our community, and to have the skilled and quality medical team to be able to perform this procedure," says Dan Mapes, Director of Imaging at Beebe Medical Center. Beebe Medical Center continues to grow the minimally invasive procedures it offers the community. These procedures, as well as the minimally invasive surgeries, generally have shown to improve patient outcomes. The Beebe Medical Center Board of Directors approved the new Minimally Invasive Surgery Department in December 2011. The Medical Center also has continued to improve and expand the procedures and surgeries it offers for the treatment of cancer.

Valentine's Day reminds me of a time in my life when I couldn't be left alone with a bag of conversation hearts without eating every single one of those pastel sugar bombs. And, thanks to handfuls of those cutely packaged Valentine's Day mini candy bars, February afternoons at my corporate gig became much more bearable.
Of course, my wicked sweet tooth didn't rear its demanding, insatiable head just in February. Bingeing on sugary treats was a year-round occurrence back then. Eating them made me feel alive when I felt dead inside from doing unfulfilling, uninspiring work.
The less alive I felt, the stronger my desire was for quick hits of intense food. When I flatlined, sugar was my lifeline.
For many of us, sugar is a symbolic substitute for fulfillment and freedom. For others, it's salty snacks, fatty foods, booze or pot. These things take us to a place where we can forget--albeit temporary--about the dissatisfaction and discomfort in our lives. We use them to leave ourselves when life gets hard.
It's not that these things are necessarily bad, or that we're bad people for consuming them, or that they shouldn't be a source of pleasure. Challenges arise when we rely on them to fulfill a need they were never ever meant to fill.
If this sounds all too familiar, what steps--big and small--can you take to feel more alive in your day-to-day existence?
How can you infuse more vitality into the realms of your life that feel lackluster and lifeless, whether it's work, relationships, intimacy, physical movement, spirituality, personal growth, creativity, etc.?
Take a minute to write down all the things that make you feel more alive. Don't hold back.
A few items on my list include: aligning my passions and values with my career, running at sunrise, re-centering at yoga, challenging my body with a new workout, walking with a friend, reading a captivating book, learning new ideas, hiking along the coast, planning trips, exploring foreign lands, losing myself in a creative project, helping others, and connecting with my coaching clients.
Remember, food can fill you up, but it can't fulfill you.
Although there are many reasons for cravings, once you start doing more things that make you feel truly alive, energized and free, it's quite likely that your intense desire for chocolate, ice cream, cupcakes, chips, cheese, wine--whatever your fix may be--will start to dwindle. This has been true for me and for many of my clients. It certainly can be for you, too.
How do you feel when you're struck by a mad craving?
Whether it's for chocolate, french fries, steak, ice cream or booze, most of us mistakenly believe cravings are a sign of weakness, a lack of willpower, and an overall bad thing (thus making you a bad person for having them). They're often something we want to squash, ignore, or hush with unsatisfying substitutes.
I'd like you to consider that cravings are actually a good thing.
Cravings are your body's way of telling you something is out of balance.
The first step when a craving strikes is to pause and become still. Listening to your craving is essential, yet impossible without presence and awareness.
Rather than try to push it away, ignore it, quiet it with an unsatisfying substitute, or stuff it down as fast as possible, welcome your craving with open arms. Greet it with compassion and curiosity, rather than contempt or judgment.
Notice if your craving is driven by a physical or emotional hunger. Feel and honor what wants to be felt. Try not to suppress or fight your feelings or urges. Rather, befriend and breathe into them.
Play detective. Investigate the source of your craving. Try to reveal the underlying cause that's triggering it.
You may truly have a nutritional need, or your body might be really yearning for a non-food form of nourishment that your mind is trying to pacify with food or drink. Ask yourself what you're really hungry for.
You may crave meat, eggs or nut butter when your body needs protein or is yearning to feel more grounded, stronger or more mentally focused.
Chronic chocolate cravings may arise when you're magnesium deficient.
A sweet treat hankering may be your solution for a mood or energy boost when what you really need is a hug, nap or walk.
A craving for cereal with milk or grandma's special casserole could be a desire for the ease, security and comfort of childhood.
Urges for foods like ice cream, pudding and avocado are often driven by anxiety as their creamy texture relaxes and soothes. A hot bath, massage or some meditative breaths may better alleviate your tension.
The longer you ignore your craving, the bigger the backlash or binge. By getting to the root of your craving, you will know how to best nourish it.
When you befriend and deconstruct your cravings, they will point you toward the foods and lifestyle you need to restore balance.

Oil is something that is very powerful; it powers vehicles, aids in the creation of many items and countries have even gone to war over control over it. Cooking oil is powerful in its own right as well; many food related businesses rely on it for cooking and it is a big part of the food industry as a whole, but did you know that it can have great benefits on oral hygiene as well?
Oil pulling is a technique that actually goes back thousands of years. The concept is simple: you take a tablespoon of cooking oil (most would recommend sunflower, sesame or coconut) and you move it around in your mouth for 15-20 minutes without swallowing it. The purpose of oil pulling is to help rid your mouth of the bad bacteria that can be harmful to your teeth and gums. The bad bacteria gets stuck to the oil while you're moving it around in your mouth, and once you expel it after the specified time, out goes the bad bacteria as well.
The most important part to remember about oil pulling is to spit out the oil after the 15-20 minutes is up. The amount of bad bacteria that collects while you're pulling oil can be harmful to your system if ingested.
Although this method of oral care has been around for many generations, your safest bet is to consult with your Ottawa dental professional before you start doing it. They can help you with any questions or concerns.

The Toner Law Office has successfully represented individuals accused misdemeanor and felony crimes in the Peoria Metropolitan Area for over 20 years; including Illinois residents of Pekin, Metamora, Mossville, Morton, Washington, Bloomington-Normal, Farmington, Bartonville, Galesburg, Knoxville, Monmouth, and Abingdon. Attorney Hugh Toner represents those accused of State and Federal crimes.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: The content at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. Consult a lawyer for advice regarding your individual situation or legal problem. We encourage you to contact us and welcome your phone calls, letters and electronic mail. However, contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send any confidential information to our law firm until such time that an attorney-client relationship has been established.
Misdemeanor offenses in Illinois are classified into three types. These three classes (Class A Misdemeanors, Class B Misdemeanors, and Class Misdemeanors) vary in severities based upon the specific crime and the actual outcome of your case.
All misdemeanors are serious because if convicted, "... it goes on your record." A misdemeanor will almost inevitably appear on an employment background check. Once convicted or a guilty plea results it appears on your record permanently.
Because being convicted of a misdemeanor can negatively impact your future it's wise to seek sound legal advice. A misdemeanor case that ends up in a not-guilty verdict or one that is dismissed, or reduced to a Class C Misdemeanor or deferred adjudication, may be eligible for an expungement (which essentially means the conviction or charge is erased as if it never existed).
Attorney Hugh Toner at the Toner Law Office in Peoria uses his familiarity with local courts and federal law to best defend those charged with misdemeanor offenses. He has practiced criminal defense law in Illinois for over twenty years and uses all his experience to build the best possible defense of the charges against you. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case and your criminal record, or lack thereof, Hugh will build you the best possible defense in an attempt to get the charges against you dismissed, get you acquitted at trial, or argue to lessen the charges against you if a plea bargain makes more sense. There are no guarantees, but in some cases, Hugh has successfully gotten his clients' records sealed even when convicted. This means only law enforcement officials have access to your records and the general public does not.

Being convicted of a misdemeanor can negatively impact your future so it's wise to seek sound legal advice.
Call Hugh! He can help.
"Acquittal is more than just luck."
All misdemeanors (Class A, Class B, and Class C) are subject to a statute of limitations in Illinois of 18 months. A statute of limitations is a time limit, after which time criminal prosecution is no longer permitted. The time limit begins when the crime is committed.

One year after Alex Saab's detention, the Attorney General admitted that the arrest warrant attached to the extradition request from the U.S. of 29 June 2020, which serves as the basis for Alex Saab's extradition, was in the name of …. someone else.
In his counter arguments to the Constitutional Court, the Prosecutor General requested the rectification in the following terms "it was mentioned that there is an international arrest warrant against the applicant issued by the judiciary authorities of the USA. At this point we take this opportunity to request the rectification of the manifest error consisting in the attachment of the warrant in the name of Álvaro Enrique Pulido-Vargas". The Prosecutor General further explains that warrants were issued in the names of Alex Saab and Álvaro Enrique Pulido-Vargas, but "by mistake, in the extradition request sent to Cape Verde, the requesting state annexed the first page of the original warrant in the name of Álvaro Enrique Pulido-Vargas, … but the following pages of the warrant and the translations into Portuguese and Spanish are in the name of Alex Saab".
What is certain and what is proven is that on 12 June when Alex Saab was arrested he was not presented with a Red Notice and could not have been as it was only issued later after the arrest. Furthermore, the Red Notice against Alex Saab did not contain the arrest warrant and was issued in breach of INTERPOL own Rules of Processing Data (IRPD) which require "reference to a valid arrest warrant" as per Article 83 (2) (v) about minimal data required for publication of Red Notices. It is not surprising as the Director of the Office of Legal Affairs of INTERPOL (who processes requests for publications of INTERPOL Notices) is Mary D. Rodriguez, an American who was seconded from the U.S. Department of Justice, same organization which is prosecuting and persecuting Alex Saab.
Venezuela successfully challenged the illegality of the Red Notice which was cancelled on 25 June 2020. This fact along with the request for release were immediately communicated to Cape Verdean Prosecutor General,Minister of Justice, Barlavento Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Justice. But so far to no avail.
On what basis Cape Verde continued to detain Alex Saab?
On 29 June the United States submitted its extradition request to Cape Verde. It contained the arrest warrant in the wrong name, not Alex Saab. Same Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General approved the extradition request despite all screaming factual and legal evidence against it. These facts were relevant for the ECOWAS Court in its decision to consider the detention illegal.
The defense of Ambassador Saab reported the absence of the arrest warrant on numerous occasions to the Cape Verdean judicial and law enforcement authorities. To no avail.
Alex Saab has been arrested, detained illegally and must be released immediately. His extradition must be cancelled. The law has been blatantly violated by the United States and Cape Verde which was confirmed by honourable justices of the ECOWAS Court of Justice.

Home Business 7 Truths about establishing a Workers' Compensation Trial Case
7 Truths about establishing a Workers' Compensation Trial Case
By Kevin Schultz -
ignored or denied. That's why every workers' compensation case must be prepared as if it's going to go to trial.
The employee requirement
In all 50 states, the general rule is that you must be hired as an employee to be eligible for benefits under your state's workers' compensation laws. For example, Illinois workers' compensation law doesn't cover independent contractors. The two pivotal factors in determining whether a person was an employee are whether the purported employer controlled how the claimant performed his or her job, and whether the employer exercised that control.
Injury in the course of one's employment
Unless there's clear evidence to the contrary, courts are apprehensive about finding that an injury didn't occur in the course of somebody's employment. The issue turns on whether an employee was injured while in furtherance of the employer's business. Even an injury from a fall by tripping or slipping in an employer's parking lot going to or from work is sufficient evidence of being in furtherance of the employer's business.
Notice of injury
Employees in every state are required to give their employer notice that he or she was hurt on the job. Each state has its own notice requirements. An employee's failure to give appropriate notice can operate as an affirmative defense for the employer. Notice must be given in the manner required by law. Improper notice, or no notice of injury can cause a legitimate workers' compensation claim to be lawfully denied.
Showing that you were on the job
Activities in furtherance of an employer's business can go beyond your employer's real estate. Transportation to and from work that's provided by your employer likely puts you under the purview of workers' compensation if you get hurt in an accident Don't think about bringing a workers' compensation claim if you ride the train into downtown Chicago daily and slip on a patch of ice three blocks from your office.
Traveling employees
A traveling employee who files a workers' compensation claim must still be able to show that he or she was engaged in the course of his or her employment when an injury occurred. An employee who landed at Chicago's O'Hare Airport who went directly to his or her hotel room and slipped and fell in the shower is likely covered. Injuries from a fall while bar hopping on Lincoln Avenue probably wouldn't be covered. You've deviated from the course of your employment.
Medical evidence of injury
Aside from notice, the lack of appropriate medical evidence of injury is the second leading cause of workers' compensation claims being denied. Medical evidence includes but isn't limited to:
Medical reports from physicians
Sworn testimony from physicians
Medical evidence will operate to prove the nature and extent of your injury along with any permanent partial disability.
You must prove your damages
Don't expect an arbitrator or judge to award you damages just because you have a viable workers' compensation claim with some time off of work and some medical bills. You're required to prove that your lost earnings and medical bills are compensable under controlling workers' compensation laws. That's where reasonable minds differ on just about every case. Unlike the law of personal injury, workers' compensation doesn't award damages for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages. Claimants are generally limited to:
Lost earnings
Earnings while temporarily totally disabled
Any permanent partial disability
Other forms of compensation are available in more serious cases, including funeral and burial expenses in death cases.
The Law Offices of Briles & Associates said, "A workers' compensation claim is usually an injured worker's sole and exclusive remedy when he or she is injured at work." Other remedies might be available if the worker was injured while at work by somebody who wasn't a co-employee. Always consult with a qualified workers' compensation attorney before making a claim.

There is very less documentation around Volley, hence the objective is to become aware of how to use Volley and customize it along with OkHttp.
Http is the modern protocol of network applications. The presentation starts with introduction of OkHttp library (which is an HTTP & SPDY client for Android and Java applications) and Volley library (which is fast, easy async and caching framework for network calls, used by PlayStore). Then, we will walk through detail hands-on of how it works, common patterns that work well with them, and how to use the libraries and build easy, fast android applications. It will cover a comparison of tasks and amount of code of Async tasks you need to write before Volley and after you have these framework.Then, You will learn to build a sample application that have both OkHttp and Volley together and run a Rest based client to call a JSON response. We will deep dive in caching framework of Volley and touch upon image loading framework and caching of the same. This will be along with a walk-through of how you can load images from network in parallel in ListView. We'll conclude by discussing how to build an app with Volley and OkHttp or port your app to Volley.

SAS® Adaptive Learning and Intelligent Agent System
Use machine learning to automatically detect rare events such as fraud with minimal interaction.
Gartner positions SAS as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine-Learning Platforms 2019
Combining both supervised and unsupervised machine learning to understand past anomalies, adapt, and retrain to predict future events.
Finds fraud and other rare events using state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms and proven best practices.
Takes the mystery out of machine learning with a model and record scorecard that delivers narrative, text and visuals for describing and interpreting models.
Easy-to-use interface
Enables users untrained in data science to create models for detecting rare events.
Creates an adaptive learning system that continually improves its ability to detect fraud and react rapidly to the emergence of new fraud patterns via integration with SAS Visual Investigator.
Automated integration
Automates integration with SAS Visual Investigator, saving you the time and expense of developing systems for scoring, alerting, triaging, refreshing training data and retraining models.
Extend model creation beyond data scientists.
Enhance productivity throughout the analytics life cycle.
SAS Adaptive Learning and Intelligent Agent System automates a major portion of the work required for model training and retraining. An easy-to-use interface enables you to expand the task of creating and deploying models tuned to detect rare events to a broader community of users with limited data science skills. This allows data scientists to focus their time on other strategic areas.
Automatically generate scores and alerts.
The solution easily integrates with SAS Visual Investigator. Once a model is deployed, jobs are created automatically to generate scores and alerts, which are fed into SAS Visual Investigator. Triaged alerts are fed back into the data so a new model can be trained. The solution supports multiple versions of a model, enabling users to compare models and tune new models before deployment. Automation ensures that models are retrained and refreshed more frequently to detect the latest fraud patterns.
Reduce false positives through accurate detection.
SAS Adaptive Learning and Intelligent Agent System combines state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, best practices and other fine-tuned techniques to accurately detect rare events and reduce the number of false positives.
Train models using the latest AI and machine learning techniques.
Users have the option to train a model using unsupervised learning, supervised learning or both. With unsupervised learning, it is now possible to train a model using data with no target (unlabeled). This model detects and alerts on anomalies in the data. SAS Visual Investigator can be used to investigate and disposition the anomaly alerts. Disposition results are automatically fed back into the training data to provide a target (label) for supervised learning.

People have vanished all over the world in less time than it takes for light to enter the eye and strike the retina. The chaos is worldwide, but nowhere so profound as within the United States of America. Just a matter of time, however, will prove that the ramifications are geopolitically staggering –for one nation in particular, in addition to America.
The American government, at every level, soon analyzes that every child below–most likely—the teen-age years are gone. Every pregnant woman who was with child, and who remains, has suffered the loss of the baby in her womb. But some other things are discovered that are even more troubling to the officials, the politicos of the nation at every level.
Government is totally disrupted, and the powers-that-be quickly recognize that not even Martial Law is going to be able to reestablish the revenue basis for carrying on government as usual. A huge part of the tax base–a fatally proportionate one–is no longer here to provide the funds to carry on government as usual! Much of the workforce, particularly the most vital, skilled force that was the heart and soul of American industry and fidelity to the good work ethic, disappeared in that stupefying moment.
Europe, on the other hand–while dumbfounded, even extremely worried, over the vanishings—seems to have suffered little infrastructure damage. Economy, well structured by the European Union Parliament, has only minimum glitches in keeping things running. Now, it is bidden by the upper echelon of the American government that is left to advise and assist in helping with things –especially with reestablishing America's economic base on sound footing.
Islamics who want their religion to rule the world are delighted. The great Satan has gotten its deserved punishment from Allah. Although Islamic children, too, have disappeared, the adults who remain in great numbers are still available to make war–and love, in order to replenish the children. The terrorist Islamic organizations are delighted, and immediately see jihad against their enemies –most particularly against the Jews of the world –and Israel.
Israel's governmental leaders come to two stunning realizations: 1) Their only ally, with the greatest thermonuclear deterrent in the world, is in chaos. The U.S. government officials who remain are doing all within their power just to make deals with the EU in order to –somehow—regain their own power. There is no time, or even facility, to see to Israel's protection. And, 2) The greatest supporters of Israel and the Jews, in terms of people who supported Israel's right to exist –their best friends on the planet—are no longer on the planet!
The Jewish leadership is intact, and the Jews –even those of the Labor Party and the most liberal—know the tiny nation stands alone. Even Mid-East oil exigencies are for the moment off the table for the powers of the west, the industrial nations that must reorganize, not send their troops on ventures into the sands of the Middle East.
What Israel determines to do, it must do quickly. Very quickly. The Israeli leadership realizes one thing beyond all others. They know their blood-vowed enemies will do everything within their power to wipe them –including the Labor Party and other liberal Jews—off Planet Earth. But, there is "the Samson Option," even the liberal Jews agree. The tiny state that is now in the cross-hairs of practically every Arab state still has perhaps the 3rd or 4th most lethal nuclear weapons force in the world. The Islamic fanatics –the entire world—must be shown that their vow "Never again!" is as strongly in the collective determination of the Jew as in the years immediately following Hitler's Holocaust.
Next week, God willing, we will unfold the scenario further, with the thought toward setting geopolitical things up for the rise of earth's last and most terrible tyrant.
We have seen that Jesus forewarned that the time of His coming again to Planet Earth will be "as it was in the days of Noah." That is, the characteristics of the endtime generation will be like in the days presented in Genesis, chapter 6. When we look at that chapter, we conclude that it must have been a terrifying time. This must have been true especially for Noah and his seven family members while the time just before the Flood surrounded them. But, the whole generation of earth-dwellers must have lived under threat of violence. Violence filled the whole earth, God's Word reports (Gen. 6: 11, 13). Even though business was moving along at a good, even accelerated pace, violence–terroristic activity–filled the earth.
Does this sound familiar? What did President Bush call the war declared upon an almost unidentifiable enemy following the 9/11 attacks? That's correct,he called it "the war on terrorism." And now the whole international community continues to be uptight about the possibility of ramifications of the terror–the violence—that threatens to ignite war in the Middle East.
Every time such sparks begin to fly, members of the media begin to contact writers and teachers of Bible prophecy, as well as others who have studied and expounded upon Armageddon and the "end of days," as media like to frame the endtime. Violence of the deadliest sort fills the world with terror, and the cry for peace and safety from media and government diplomatic types proves it.
Again, does any of this sound familiar? As we can see from the position of the American economy relative to the rest of the world, things continue to go along pretty much as always, despite the fact that we are now a debtor nation at an unprecedented level. The United States is inarguably the most materially blessed nation-state in the history of the world. The greatest king of Bible times lived at nowhere near the level of luxury and comfort as do even lower middle-class Americans today.
Bible prophecy tells us that the day of the Lord will come (will begin) as a thief in the night. A thief suddenly breaks in. He doesn't say "Hey! I'm coming to break in!" That is how we can know that the thief-in-the-night-coming analogy is for another coming, not for the second advent –the time when Jesus' foot will touch down on the Mount of Olives, which will then cleave in half and create a rift all the way to the Mediterranean. Nearly two-thirds of the world's population will have perished in God's full-blown wrath by the time of that Revelation 19:11 coming back to Planet Earth. Everyone on the planet still alive will see Christ's coming to the earth's surface.
In the United States, a young mother, pregnant with her second, and with a small daughter riding in the basket, will be walking down an aisle in a supermarket. A truck driver will be steering a semi-tractor/trailer rig onto a superhighway in order to merge with the heavy traffic flow. A 757 captain will push the throttles to full power, headed down a runway at JFK in New York. A surgeon at a major hospital in Minnesota will begin to make the initial scalpel cut that will open a heart patient's chest for a bypass procedure. A funeral director will straighten a collar of the starched white shirt worn by a corpse, w hose funeral is next on the services schedule.
We will have to leave, until next time, those scenario snippets as still-frame snapshots of the paradigm-changing dynamics of the rapture. Those will geometrically burgeon from the instant this stunning event takes place. It will be the most powerful occurrence of human history since Christ's first advent intervened into the affairs of mankind.

The village of Leedstown developed because of the mines springing up in the early 19th Century. In 1835, there were twelve in the parish. The village continued to grow during the 19th Century. Chapels were built and in 1878 the village school was built. By 1885, there were 233 pupils at Leedstown School!

Q: Why does log4j create the logfile in my Java application but not in my web application? I have tested this configuration
# Define the root logger with appender file
log4j.rootLogger = DEBUG, CONSOLE, FILE
# CONSOLE appender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.layout.conversionPattern=%m%n
log4j.appender.CONSOLE.Threshold=debug
# FILE appender
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%m%n
# Set the name of the file
log4j.appender.FILE.File=/home/user/annotator-log.out
# Set the immediate flush to true (default)
log4j.appender.FILE.ImmediateFlush=true
# Set the threshold to debug mode
log4j.appender.FILE.Threshold=info
# Set the append to false, overwrite
log4j.appender.FILE.Append=false
using this simple Main.java
package playground;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
public class Main {
private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName());
public static void main(String[] args) {
LOGGER.info("Running main ..");
LOGGER.debug("Reading args:");
for (String arg : args) {
LOGGER.debug(" " + arg);
}
LOGGER.info("All done.");
}
}
and it works. The logging gets printed to the console and the file gets created at /home/user/annotator-log.out
However, if I put the .properties file into my web application I can only see the output in the console but the log file is not getting created.
What could be the reason for this?
A: Try putting this in your web.xml.
<context-param>
<param-name>log4j-config-location</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/log4j.properties</param-value>
</context-param>
A: Programatic solution:
String log4jPropertiesFilePath = ...;
org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator.configure(log4jPropertiesFilePath);
We use it when we only can know file location at runtime!

Finally a Blu-ray player, which is significantly cheaper than PS 3, is on sale
BeforeSony may release cheap Blu-ray player, which is cheaper than PS 3Finally I told you that Blu - ray players, which are much cheaper than PS 3, will be on sale.
With this, you may be able to easily arrange the playback environment of Blu - ray discs.
Blu-ray Hits the $ 300 Mark with MagnaVox NB 500 MG 9
According to this article, "MagnaVox" which is one brand of home appliance maker "Phillips" is cheaper than PS 3 sold at Walmart of the world's largest shopping store chain store at 399 dollars (about 41,000 yen) It is said that it will release Blu-ray player "NB 500 MG 9" at $ 298 (about 31,000 yen).
By the way, this "NB 500 MG 9" is an OEM (production by a partner brand) by Funai, and Sylvania, which was supplied from Funai, also produces the same productI am selling at Amazon for 349 dollarsAnd that.
Although it is an anxious spec, it is compatible with Blu-ray video standard "Profile 1.1", so performance is lower than that of PS3 that supports "Profile 2.0" with added network function etc. It is said that. However, because it is very inexpensive, it may be a layer that "it is enough if it can be regenerated" and a product that is just right for demand after the second one.
Finally a super-discount HD DVD player with $ 200
The Blu-ray era has come? At last the prices of recordable drives plummeted
The recording capacity of the Blu-ray disc has further increased dramatically, finally to the 1 TB scale
ASUS to release the latest model of EeePC equipped with optical drive for the first time
Inexpensive Blu-ray player to appear in view of selling price of about 10,000 yen
Low-end Blu-ray player finally came out this year, bargain software also
The Blu-ray player enters the popular price range, and models of 10,000 yen cracking are also available
Production cost of recordable Blu-ray drive declined, making it possible to manufacture at around 7000 yen

The area of PEZA UNION produces 5.000 tones in average every year which comes from the 60.000 sq. m. of olive crops (1.100.000 olive trees). It is recognized as Protected Designation of Origin P.D.O. PEZA so PEZA UNION produces, standardizes and disposes in the market Extra Virgin Olive Oil P.D.O. PEZA. A team of olive oil producers is active at PEZA UNION which consists of 4.500 members.
The quality of olive oil is among the top of the worldwide production, which enhances the status of the exporting products at the international markets. The ideal climatic conditions and the traditional production process create a product with exceptional colour, superb aroma and unique taste. Olives are gathered carefully by the oil producers with the traditional technique and are delivered to the oil factories of the Union where with cold pressure the juice is extracted (the olive oil), rich in vitamins E and A, with high concentration in monounsaturates and free of cholesterol. Then it is bottled according to the specifications of the European Union and without pesticides, chemical treatments and any type of technological intervention constituting this way the cornerstone of the today famous and beneficiary to our health Cretan Diet. The investment of PEZA UNION in the area of olive oil with reliable peak technology with the Tetra Prisma aseptic package offers the ability of production of another innovative product in continuation of the logical standardization of olive oil in a box (box of 5 & 3 Lt). This modern package Tetra Prisma of Tetra Pak protects olive oil effectively from external factors that distort its character, such as light and air, keeping its nutritious and organoleptic properties intact. It is an easy-to-use package with a safety top and modern design in an octagon shape which aims to enter dynamically to the modern cuisine.

Another oldie but goodie (circa 2003) made NKS compatible for realtime use in Maschine and Komplete Kontrol. There may be plenty of other reverbs out there but I still come back to Laserbrew, it's still one of a kind, as highlighted recently here https://blog.native-instruments.com/10-secret-weapons-for-film-scoring-from-the-reaktor-user-library/. It's an FX reverb, not intended for 'realistic' spaces but for creatively messing with the sonic environment. All credit to the designer of this classic, Tim Schwerdtfeger, I just tweaked it a little to make it compatible with NKS and added an NKS template to the ensemble and all snaps. Includes a browser thumbnail image.

Die Familie Thormann war eine bernische Patrizierfamilie. Die Familie besitzt möglicherweise seit ungefähr 1295 das Burgerrecht der Stadt Bern und gehört der Gesellschaft zu Pfistern an.
Geschichte
Das Geschlecht der Thormann ist in Bern auf Hans Thormann, Bäcker und Mitglied des Kleinen Rats, zurückzuführen. Frühere Namensvorkommnisse sind nicht in Zusammenhang zu bringen, da der Name im deutschsprachigen Raum eine beachtliche Verbreitung hat. Burkhard Thormann, Sohn des Hans, stieg bis zum Pfistern-Venner auf. Insgesamt zählte die Familie acht Venner, 17 gelangten bis 1798 in den Kleinen Rat, beinahe alle Namensträger gelangten in den Grossen Rat. Die Thormann waren Bäcker, Gerber und Metzger, gaben jedoch ihren Beruf bis ungefähr 1600 zu Gunsten militärischer und politischer Karrieren auf. Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurden viele Angehörige der Familie Kaufleute, Ingenieure, Architekten oder Juristen.
Einzelne Familienangehörige besassen zeitweise die Herrschaften Engi (Bern), Duillier, St. Christophe (Champvent) und Mathod sowie Güter in Concise, Gerzensee, am Muristalden (Bern), Rosengarten (Bern), Bürenstock (Bern) und im Wingreis.

It's been a crazy couple weeks with Halloween, birthdays and such, but it's time to get back to business. Dinner at Olive Garden is how we will resume. This was my first visit in many years.
When I walked in my party was being seated at a booth in the bar area. We were greeted by a server with an overly bubbly personality. We were still waiting on one last person so we just ordered drinks. I was undecided at first and waited until two glasses of wine were delivered. I then asked about the beer taps I could see at the bar. I could see a Blue Moon tap and asked what was behind it. She looked over at it and said it was Sierra Nevada. I decided to go with the Blue Moon.
Some long period of time went by, the last party member arrived and she ordered a wine off their promotional menu that comes wrapped around the normal menu. Our server came back at least 2 times to look at the menu again and see what the wine was, she wasn't familiar with it and was having a very difficult time finding it. The manager stopped by to see how everything was going and we let her know about the mystery wine. She made an expression that conveyed "ah, I know exactly where that is and will take care of it". She did, and it arrived shortly after. At some point during all this my beer was served, except it was the Sierra Nevada. Our server's presence was scarce and I eventually just took it to the bar directly and had it swapped out with the correct one.
Around this time we were finally served breadsticks, also an appetizer of Stuffed Mushrooms (Parmesan, romano and mozzarella cheese, clams and herb breadcrumbs baked in mushroom caps) which I had ordered. The breadsticks had oil or butter brushed on them. Unfortunately they were pretty boring. I think I was the only one to finish one. The Mushrooms were pretty good. The parmesan, herb breadcrumbs and the mushrooms themselves were the dominating flavors. I couldn't taste any clams at all, in fact I didn't even realize there were clams in it until I reread the menu while typing this.
The salad arrived as we finished the mushrooms. I can't recall if someone ordered it or if it is normally served like the bread. Fresh parmesan was applied and we all dug in. It's a simple but good, fresh salad.
We were about halfway into the salad when our entrées arrived. I had ordered the Shrimp & Crab Tortelli Romana (Shrimp, crab and smoked mozzarella-filled ravioli, topped with sautéed shrimp in a three cheese and sun-dried tomato sauce). It was served in a large shallow bowl and smelled amazing. The sun-dried tomato sauce was very rich and creamy, the shrimp plentiful, and the ravioli well stuffed and excellent. I was very happy with this dish and would absolutely order it again.
The process of finishing the meal and getting out was pretty long and drawn out. Or server took insane amounts of time between checking on us, bringing boxes for leftovers (that part alone took something like 3 separate visits over about 20 minutes), bringing the check, splitting it, fixing incorrectly split checks, and finally running the actual cards. This was a common theme during this visit which I think I already mentioned earlier in this post. The whole experience took about an hour longer than it should have and was frustrating. Like I said before, she had a great personality for customer service, but her speed and attention to detail left a LOT to be desired.
I feel like I should give this 2 separate ratings – The first based purely on the food and the second factoring in the service. I don't think a single bad experience with a server should taint the restaurant as a whole.
The food was great overall. I do think the breadsticks could be changed up to something a more tasty, probably just slices with butter would be a good improvement. Actually as I re-read their menu right now I see you can order dipping sauces for the breadsticks for $3.75. They must know their breadsticks need a little something, this should just be included as a standard. Based on the food only I would give it a 4 out of 5.
When factoring in the service side of things I would downgrade it to 2 out of 5. I'm sure the pace of the service might appeal to some, but it just got irritating after the first few long absences. In my opinion, the manager should have kept a closer eye on the server after the wine issue to see that everything else went smoothly, but I never saw her after that.
It is a shame to hear of your experience with Olive Garden breadsticks, as they are typically "divine" and extremely flavorful. They are actually supposed to be Garlic breadsticks and should taste very buttery with a healthy presence of garlic. When served hot, fresh, and made correctly, I would happily go an entire day surviving on an entire platter of nothing but Olive Garden breadsticks. Having eaten at Olive Garden in several states and cities around the country, I unfortunately have to bestow the honor of worst breadsticks to a an Olive Garden in Citrus Heights… it's depressing to hear of bland breadsticks in Roseville as well. Trust me though, when made right, you shouldn't really need any dipping sauce – it's that good. I generally have heard nothing but good comments about Olive Garden breadsticks.
I have had the Shrimp & Crab Tortelli Romana in the past as well and must say that it is one of my favorite dishes on the menu – and that is a pretty difficult honor to bestow with so many great tasting plates on the menu.
Very depressing to hear of your server experience – not only does she sound new, but manager followups really should have been a "must" following the wine fiasco (sounds like a noob moment to me, personally).

Agricultural business stocks have been fighting for survival amid falling commodity prices that threaten to pull them into the abyss. Corn, wheat and soybean prices all hit year-to-date lows this week as crop yields continue to produce an overabundance of supply.
These statistics have made an impact on the Market Vectors Agribusiness (ETF) (NYSE:MOO), which contains 52 stocks engaged in the global agriculture industry. Constituents of this ETF must be primarily engaged in the business of agriculture by deriving at least 50 percent of total revenues from it.
This ETF currently has $1.7 billion in total assets and charges an expense ratio of 0.55 percent annually.
Top holdings in MOO include well-known names such as Monsanto Coand Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. In addition, only 50 percent of the total holdings in MOO are U.S.-based companies. The other half is spread among a variety of emerging and developed nations, making this a truly global basket of securities.
So far this year, MOO has struggled to remain above the flat line and has recently breached its 200-day moving average for the second time in the last six months.
While this weakening price action is concerning, a potential turn in commodity prices may be just what these stocks need to regain footing and reestablish a new uptrend.
Other key ETFs in this space include the Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF (NYSE:SOIL) and iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers ETF (NYSE:VEGI). SOIL includes 24 companies that are actively involved in the fertilizer industry, while VEGI has a wider index of 122 global agriculture stocks.
Both alternatives offer a unique index construction methodology that is markedly different than MOO. However, this entire group is suffering from sideways price action since the beginning of the year that has been marked by uncertainty.
The next phase for these ETFs will likely be driven by increased global demand for agriculture production as a result of commodity cycle expansion and growth in emerging or frontier nations.

Q: Was "St. Bartholomew's Day massacre" what people used before Kristallnacht happened? The New York Times' first article on Adolf Hitler, "Hitler New Power in Germany", written in 1922 (but still paywalled), referred to fears of a St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. Was that the standard way of referring to an incident of racist violence back then, before we had Kristallnacht?
Doing an NGrams search for St. Bartholomew's doesn't have a sharp drop after Kristallnacht occurred.

Cosmology… a religion for atheists?
In the film The Theory of Everything, Stephen Hawking (portrayed by Eddie Redmayne) claims that cosmology is 'a religion for intelligent atheists'. The idea haunts the film as it haunts Stephen Hawking's books.
In a video lecture just released on YouTube, William Lane Craig, philosopher and theologian, examines this claim, critiquing both dialogue from the film and Stephen Hawking's own writings. Does a beginning to the universe entail a creator? Does Hawking's latest 'no boundary' Big Bang model eliminate the need for God? What hope is there in a godless universe? And is philosophy dead, as Stephen Hawking claims?
All these issues are explored in the video lecture, which can be viewed below.
William Lane Craig's Kalam Cosmological Argument is the most widely discussed argument for the existence of God in contemporary western philosophy. He is Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology and Houston Baptist University. He is the author of over 40 books, including Reasonable Faith, which argues for Christian faith in the wider context of astrophysics, philosophy, and arguments for the existence of God.
He is best known online for his lectures and debates with leading atheists and skeptics, many of which are available on his YouTube channel. Visit his website: Reasonable Faith.

Right now, I find myself at a curious intersection (for one who hates jargon, and is especially irritated by distracting, meaningless nonsense like 'intersectionality': if you have something to say, say it clearly; don't hide it behind clever-sounding, long, made-up words). Where was I? Oh yes. Curious intersection.
I closely follow the decades-long journey to 'constructionism,' 'original intent,' whatever on the US federal bench. Reading drivel like that written today by the (London) Observer's Richard Wolffe.
All the while noting regularly that we are where we are not because of some judicial coup, but because large numbers of US working people have switched their allegiance to the Republican Party, as the Democratic Party has abandoned them over the past 30 years, in favor of we-know-best social engineering.
Meanwhile, I return to university. Only to find college political professors, at a major university known to have close ties with the Koch brothers, merrily promoting political theory which says that modern US polity has abandoned objective reason (as taught by 'great thinkers' like Aristotle, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Allan Bloom and Ayn Rand), and should return to its senses, led by a judiciary dedicated to the 'natural law' expounded in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, and supported by the Federalists.
Timely, interesting, co-incidental and not a little creepy, eh?
Democrats are losing the PR battle with Trump. I could explain at length why I say this, and why I think it is so. But it all comes down to one word: focus. In which spirit, I'm going to let Peter Hamby, in his excellent article in Vanity Fair, summarize my own feelings, while I focus on what I think Democrats should do about it.
First, we need to get real focused, real quickly on who the voters are that we believe will make the difference in 2018 and 2020. I have my own views about who those voters are, and what policies will likely ensure they turn out to vote for us. And every other supporter of the Democratic Party has their own idiosyncratic version, too. Matters not. We have the capability to work out what is the real answer, and to focus on it. I've written further about this elsewhere also.
I could say, and have said, that the next step is to create a unified and vigorous message and platform that targets these voters, and to find the best candidates to present that message and platform. But, you know, we're kind of past that stage now. It's become more urgent. Plus, different messages/platforms/candidates work in different parts of the country. Why not trust the local organizations to make those decisions for themselves?
My focus, with this post, is on coming up with a resource that serves all candidates, whatever their personal message, and wherever they are presenting it: a vehicle which begins successfully to counter Trump's PR.
In my opinion, we need a national-level, rapid-response, message task force. Which utilizes every aspect of modern media coverage, just as Trump does. Is fronted by people who are telegenic, radiophonic (is that the right word?). And which counters Trump every day with punchy, pithy, catchy//optics, visuals, slogans, Tweets.
Ooh, ooh, you may say. We have that. No. We don't. Because, if we did, I'd be deluged with it. I'm not. Period.
There is a wonderful new group, Navigator Research, which claims to be sharpening the Democratic message. I have some of its members as my FB Friends. I read their very long and very interesting reports. Until, with respect, my eyes cloud over. This is not what I'm talking about. This group may well be able to help with determining the target group of voters, with fashioning the content of the counter-punch. But again, with respect, it is not at the moment doing any punching.
I have written elsewhere what I think that punch should look like, to achieve the most effect. Comes down to this. Folks do not want a non-stop stream of invective against Trump the animal. They know who he is. They know he's awful. That message is winning us nothing. Neither is all the talk about Russian collusion and White House corruption.
I don't care what you say is in the polls. I'm out and about, in western South Carolina (previously, central North Carolina). Deep in the heart of the sorts of places Democrats should be reaping votes like so much tasty seasonal hay. These people are totally unmoved by these storylines. They're punch drunk. They don't care any more. Maybe the talking heads in Washington gain amusement from making the latest clever debating points. But ordinary folk just glaze over.
What we need to do is focus on the metrics that influence these ordinary people every day of their lives. But which no-one else is articulating. I'm not going to pretend I have the precise list. A group like Navigator Research can work out the details. But I do know this. It should be about three metrics. No more than five. Likely: the buying power of the money in your pocket; how Trump is affecting your place of work; job security (for you and your children); your kid's education; your healthcare insurance premium.
We need gimmicks. Lots of them. What about a grade card? Weekly. Monthly. The five simple catchy metrics. Lots of graphics. This is how Trump is performing on your grade card this month. And why.
Not the awful Washington press conferences we have at the moment. Fronted by people of retirement age. Explaining through sheaves of paper. Why this Trump policy on trade. Or that Trump approach on welfare benefits. Will affect something. Some time. If we can all stay awake long enough. To take notice.
Punch, punch, punch. Trade war with China means WalMart toys for your kids go up in price. Have they? Will they? Bingo! Here's a graph showing the steady rise in price of simple consumer goods due to Trump.
And, to be blunt, if your toes curl at the mention of WalMart, you are the problem. Ordinary voters shop at WalMart. Get over it. We need to stop scolding voters, and start trying to win them over.
Trump promised his policies would create more jobs. Have they? The right jobs? The wrong jobs? Where? Did his tax plan bring jobs home? How many? Are his trade wars affecting jobs in America? Will newly-expensive steel hit the car industry in Detroit? What is the ratio of jobs lost by Trump to jobs gained? Graphs. Maps. Moving animation.
Don't tell us about Iran. And for goodness sake, get Chuck Schumer away from a microphone. Find a telegenic Congressional candidate from Ohio. Put her/him in a typical car. Have a straight stretch of interesting street. And mark out how far she/he can drive the car on half a tank of gallon, on the basis of new higher oil prices, due to Iran, Syria, Israel, whatever (obviously scaled down!).
Being simple in presentation. Pithy and punchy. Doesn't mean we have to ignore complex issues. We just have to find clever ways to make them accessible. Even if those clever ways don't always satisfy our own concerns and prejudices.
For example, tell folks that a hostile immigration environment might mean the price of American food produce going up. I know that you and I may care about the inhumanity of much of Trump's immigration policies. But ordinary Americans, fighting to save a job, unable to pay their healthcare insurance premiums, frankly, might not care as much about another person's problems as they might about the price of their own food. There is a time for appealing to better instincts, and there is a time for appealing to wallets.
Make it relate. Simple, focused, punchy, fun. Something which appeals to ordinary people; not necessarily something that proves intellectually satisfying to the leaders of the Democratic machine in Washington. Make it accessible. The measure of whether or not it is working is if you are assaulted by it from at least two different sources on your way to work. A roster of cheery folks the media know to interview. With a simple, catch-all, catchy umbrella name. Doesn't have to be D.R.A.T. Come up with your own. Colors, fonts, logo's that ordinary people come to know and expect.
We're never going to beat Trump. He's been successfully misusing the media for thirty years. What we need to do is sort out what is our gameplan to counter his policies. And then work around him to sell our vision.
Trump is winning because he stays firmly on the low road, appealing to the gut. We don't want to go there. We don't have to go there. But neither should we airily float along on some amorphous high road. We stick it to Trump on the basic promises he made and keeps making to the American people. On jobs, cost of living, healthcare premiums, and the like. We stick it to Trump on wallet issues. And hold him to account with noise, color and parade.
Already, we are hearing conspiracy theories about Las Vegas. Made worse by the fact that algorithms associated with social media sites are making some of the more obnoxious theories go instantly viral.
As upsetting as this is. Not least for victims, their families and friends. The fact is that, when a country, such as the US, places such a vigorous premium on freedom. Freedom of the press. Freedom of speech. Freedom of the internet. Freedom to own a gun. The price we pay for freedom is often ugly and painful.
As always, the price we are willing to pay as a society is the consequence of decisions we make to balance freedom, security, safety and decency. There is no right or wrong. There are only the choices we make, democratically, by deciding to take part in the electoral processes we have already agreed by way of majority vote.
Las Vegas: If Not Now, Then When?
I got jumped on a bit for a comment that 'politicized' the tragedy in Las Vegas.
Before I say anything about that, let me once more take a moment for all of us just to think of 58 dead. 527 injured.
Let's stop long enough, from looking at the pictures. Tracking money to the Philippines. And actually think about 58 people dead.
Lying on the ground. Tended to by friends. Who knew them, laughing and singing, only moments before. With families waiting. For whom now the wait will never end.
Let's think about what 527 injured means. A scratch? Crippled? Neighbors whose lives are ruined. Whose families just went from sharers to carers.
Let's think about the first responders. Who, as always, thought nothing of their own safety. As they attempted to protect others.
Let's think of the concert-goers. Who stood up. Went back. Covered bodies. And helped some to safety. Who were themselves injured, or killed, as a consequence.
It's not just that we live in violent times. We live in an age where social ADD is the norm.
Who remembers Harvey? Who cares now about Irma? The people still suffering the effects of flooding do.
The President, for sure, has moved on. To Puerto Rico. To demand praise. For emergency efforts that owe nothing to him.
A President whose only contribution to societal institutional memory was to minimize the effects of Maria, by making offensive comparison to Katrina.
But it's not just Trump. It's all of us. If it happened last week, it might just as well have happened a millennium ago.
If it happened before a win by our favorite college team. It is forgotten altogether.
I'm 61. I've seen a lot. There isn't too much about which I cannot say: it's ok; things will change – they will get better.
But one thing gets worse. Our ability to move on, and forget. I do not mind the moving on. I do mind the forgetting.
I was accused of heartlessness for 'politicizing' Las Vegas 'too soon.' The real heartlessness is allowing so much time to pass that it never becomes sufficiently 'politicized' at all.
We permitted Donald Trump to become President, because we waited too long.
We let important issues slide because we have convinced ourselves they can wait until tomorrow.
We condemn ourselves to future tragedies, because we pretend that it is 'too soon' to politicize the ones that just happened.
Another product of our age is our desire to normalize activity we know, deep in our heart, is not normal.
I understand about the Second Amendment. I get the history of this country. The desire to protect loved ones. But gun culture is not normal. We need to stop pretending to ourselves that it is.
And this is not merely a rant calling for gun legislation. That is one more product of our times: we seek to dumb everything down.
This isn't just about responsible gun ownership versus bad. This is about changing ourselves into a society where we hate less, and are prone to violence less. Where the perceived need for guns is less.
This is not a cultural change that happens overnight. With one piece of legislation. This is a process that takes years. Demands dedication. Sacrifice. Clear thinking. And constant renewal.
1) My therapist from alcohol rehab in 1994. Who is or was part of a national commission, set up by rehab experts and the insurance industry, to examine the whole problem of addiction. Causes. Environmental. Genetic. Cycles of abuse. Which commission was seriously discussing having all insurance companies pay for two weeks of therapy for every insurance holder. To deal with all of the natural distortions we all experience growing up. The commission (not so much the insurance companies) took the view that such wholesale therapy could well reduce the incidence of violence in society.
3) The connection between disadvantage and behavior. The connection between seeming imbalance in society and reaction. Addressing causes, while also making it clear that no 'cause' excuses breaking the law.
4) The manner in which our society properly deals with those with mental health issues. In a dignified fashion.
5) Sentencing policy, and whether or not it creates a devil-may-care attitude among those likely to break the law.
6) Gun culture. How to change it. I really do not think there is anyone out there saying that gun ownership is a good thing. It builds character. It makes my crops grow. It is generally expressed in terms of protection. So, let's talk about protection from what. And seriously address the 'what.' With an open mind.
Hate. Violence. Gun culture. Are not normal. But that does not mean that I do not understand why they exist. They exist because too many of us are in despair. In fear.
I do not apologize for 'politicizing' Las Vegas. I do not apologize for 'politicizing' it 'too soon.' I do not apologize for saying that 'gun culture' is not normal. And demanding that our society do much, much better. Each of us. As individuals. Not some amorphous societal blob, in a capital or capitol. All of us. We all of us need to do much, much more to relieve the despair and fear felt by so many in our society. My only apology would have been if I had not politicized this issue at all.
Nobody really wants to be the one to say this. We would prefer our focus be entirely on grieving and consoling. But, it is not too soon. And we all know it is in our minds. So. Let me be the one. A country and western music festival? Maybe now the rednecks will wake up and take notice?

Another important step towards securing jobs, growth and major investment was achieved when the leaders of the four unitary councils and the chairman of the Local Enterprise Partnership met the Deputy Prime Minister in Downing Street today (18 September).
The City Region Deal agreement is intended to herald a new relationship between the four unitary authorities and Government to deliver a step change in the economic performance of the region.
The City Deal is proposed to give increased financial flexibility and freedoms to the four local authorities to enable a focussed programme of investment in the area to maximise its economic potential.
The deal also seeks to close skills gaps, deliver essential infrastructure and attract new jobs.
It is hoped that the deal will deliver an additional 40,000 jobs and over £1 billion of investment to support local growth over the next 25 years. As such it builds on the shared commitment of business and the local authorities in the West of England to deliver the Local Enterprise Partnerships ambitions for significant economic growth.
– Growth Incentive – The growth incentive and related Economic Investment Fund is intended to create a genuine incentive for the area to invest in growth and jobs. It will allow the West of England authorities to keep 100 per cent of growth in business rates raised in the network of Enterprise Areas over a 25 year period. The aim is for this income to be used in combination with other funding sources to create an Economic Investment Fund to deliver an investment programme worth £1 billion over the life of the agreement.
As well as supporting focused action within the Enterprise Areas (including the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone), income will also be available to manage local demographic and service pressures experienced by the authorities arising from economic growth. Government will consider rolling out a growth incentive scheme across the whole of the West of England at the next spending review.
– Transport – a major funding allocation to accelerate the improvement of rail services across the city region supporting the major transport investment already being planned. This includes specific funding for the Greater Bristol Metro; flexible delivery for the Bus Rapid Transit Network which will allow savings to be recycled locally; and new powers over rail planning and delivery.
– Skills – The business community and the Local Enterprise Partnership will have more influence in skills provision in the region, in particular the £114 million Skills Funding Agency funding for FE colleges for post-16 provision, to help capture employer demand.
– Growth hub (inward investment) – A growth hub with up to £2.25m of government funding will provide additional support to inward investors. Based in the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone the hub will work closely with UK Trade and Investment the national body responsible for handling inward investment. It will provide new resources for handling enquiries, marketing and promotion, matching potential investors with the opportunities that exist across the city region.
– Public Property Board (Bristol City Council specific) – A public property board will manage up to £1 billion of council assets and an estimated 180 land and property assets to unlock more land for economic growth or housing and to lever in additional public or private investment.
Each authority will now be carefully evaluating the funding mechanisms outlined in the proposals with a view to considering the detailed contractual and financial obligations of the deal for formal agreement by each of the unitary authorities by June 2013.
Simon Cook, Leader of Bristol City Council, said: "This is a major step forward for Bristol and the West of England area in gaining more control over Whitehall funding. It means in practice that we can see substantial investment in our rail system and push forward our ambitions for key projects such as the arena at Temple Quarter.
John Calway, Leader of South Gloucestershire Council, said: "The City Deal is an excellent example of how the four West of England authorities have been able to work together to realise benefits that will be felt across the region.
Paul Crossley, Leader of Bath and North East Somerset Council, said: "Our Council considers the City Deal to be a further step towards creating new jobs, more opportunities, and greater prosperity for local residents as we work in partnership with our local authority neighbours.
Colin Skellett Chair of the West of England LEP, said: "The City Deal is a significant step forward in recognising the importance of economic growth and local control. It will help deliver the LEP target of creating 95,000 new jobs by 2030. The City Deal funding will enable us to make a step change in transport infrastructure, service the enterprise sites, achieve closer alignment between business and skills providers and fund major improvements in inward investment.
The West of England area represents the four local authorities (Bristol City, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset and Bath & North East Somerset) working together through the Local Enterprise Partnership.

No one can tell you what kind of parent to be. Instead, it's a long performance, consisting of attempts, failures, mistakes, experiments, accidents, snips, scrapes and sniffles and — when you're lucky — unexpected harmony and delirious puffs of joy.
So it's with that humility in mind that I offer up some insights from the scads of parenting books I've perused over the past few years. Through the mist of what made sense to me (an arbitrary lens if ever there was one), I have managed to discern what I could now call a sketchy and ever-subject-to-revision Parenting Approach. Taking all this uncertainty into account, below are a few guideposts from the research I've managed to get under my belt that I use currently to light my way.
Some of them may surprise any loyal reader who knows I'm a sucker for fuzzy crafts, because they are not very fuzzy-wuzzy. I'm a strict-ish parent, actually, on matter of behavior. And I'll be the first to admit that any or all of the below may not work for your family. Every child and parent is different. If one lesson is clear, it's that paying close attention to our particular child trumps a set of written instructions, any day.
Nonetheless, and for whatever they may be worth to you, I find the following insights both helpful and difficult, often at the same time:
1) Permissive parenting is actually harmful. Several major studies are really almost unanimous on this point: Authoritarian parenting — or overly strict parenting — is actually less damaging than parenting that is overly permissive. Authoritarian (though not abusive) parents generally communicate a lesson to kids that they are cared for and safe, while permissive parents, despite perhaps their best intentions, can leave kids wondering if they are the ones in charge and why. But of course authoritarian parenting also does damage: it undermines self-esteem, and can create life-long scars. The goal is a middle ground: authoritative parenting, which communicates love while holding its ground and conveying firm and consistent expectations for behavior.
2) Emotional intelligence — including hard-to-define and achieve qualities like character, grit, and capacity for failure — will be more important to your child's success than IQ. Put down the flashcards! What will more likely matter to your child is whether they have the social skills to succeed and the inner resources to keep trying. And parents of young children should not wait for a child to mature to work on these essential skills, because the neural networks in the brain that form the infrastructure for emotional reasoning basically take shape by six years old. Even if you've missed this window, though, programs providing coaching to troubled adolescents show that new habits like resilience and resourcefulness can be taught, albeit with a lot of work to catch up to their peers.
3) Attachment is only half the job. It is indisputably critical that parents create an emotional bond with their child, called attachment. This is formed by early and attentive responsiveness to the needs of a new infant. This foundation of trust and mutual love, however, is insufficient by itself as a child grows. The purpose of attachment — to make children feel sufficiently safe in the world — can be undermined if parents do not also encourage and foster responsibility, independence and sound judgment. Being endlessly attentive and nurturing to a needy three-year-old is a recipe for both exhausted parents and bratty kids.
Balancing attachment by making space to say a respectful version of "no" to children is critical. Indeed, helping them create a robust capacity for emotional self-regulation is essential. Emotional regulation is also important to cognitive development, because the more time that kids spend in an agitated state, the less time they have for calm receptivity to input from the world.
4) Too much praise can send the wrong signal and cut off the conversation. This is a hard one, given our need to recognize our child's achievements as part of our own: empty words like "good job" come out of my mouth far more often than I would like. Substituting acknowledgment for appraisal is a subtle but important shift that can mostly fill in when kids ask us. For example, by saying, "I see you." instead of "good work." Or even just engaging in a real conversation by observing the facts: "You've used a lot of yellow here." Praise is a conversation-stopper, after all, leaving nothing more to say, while facts leave room for more facts, and for the child to play observer as well. If you must praise, complimenting effort rather than result is a better thing to say: "You are working so hard on that!"
You can also subtly ask your child to internalize their own framework for self-appraisal by focusing on the child's feelings rather than the parents: "Did that make you feel proud?" Asking questions and making comparisons to their own past can be another way to engage: "Was that scary?" "Did you climb that part faster than you did yesterday?"
5) Our own emotional responses — even negative ones — can be put to use. We generally do not do kids a favor when we overlook confrontational or obnoxious behavior and ask ourselves, as parents, to exhibit super-human restraint. Irritating behavior can sometimes be a good way to understand when a child needs more limits. So long as we are not clinically depressed, super-tired, sick, or otherwise overly prone to irritability, our own response to our child's behavior can be a sound guide for imposing a set of (age-appropriate and individualized) expectations for that child.
I also believe this to be the case: As parents, we will spend a significant part of our lives in conversation with our child, and it helps with the sometimes-oppressive tedium of parenting if we enjoy more of this time, rather than less.
While we don't need to lash out, certainly, and a calm response is preferable to an angry one, noticing our child's behavior is a clue that something needs to change. A child who is constantly stirring the pot, behaving selfishly or taunting, who often lacks emotional and bodily self-control and can never take no for an answer, is a child who will have difficulty forming friendships, and who may repeatedly "check out" of opportunities for calm attention and learning. These emotionally sensitive and volatile children may need more sensible and consistent boundaries than other kids in order to thrive. At the same time, that child may need more connection with the parent in order to tolerate the new boundaries, so both limits and time together will be critical.
Of course, a rapid uptick in outbursts in an otherwise calm child may also provide a valuable clue that something is wrong, and require investigation. One of my favorite parenting books, Simplicity Parenting, calls on parents to look for signs of soul-sickness and approach these with the gentle healing we might a cold. Again, this kind of judgment call has to come from knowing our kid and what's normal and needed for them.
6) Our specific language and choices as parents matter a ton to the development of our child. The brain is surprisingly elastic and supple, and is so deeply responsive to parenting cues that the brains of children actually resembles those of their parents in scans. So what kinds of intentional communication with them should we have?
Words that seem oddly "corporate" have sometimes been helpful to me, because they do the work of making a difference of opinion seem less personal: "My agenda here is to get you to put on your clothes, while your agenda is to play. What can we do?" or "I'm trying to understand your goals here." They can also be useful for asking for more resilience and generating options: "That seemed like a good strategy. What would be another one?" "What's your plan to fix this problem?" "I would like you to make a different choice."
Picture-language that paints a clear image of concrete aspirations for behavior also works well for me: "I would like you to have a big, open, generous heart with your friends."Or, after a fall: "I hope you have a scrambly time at the playground, and climb all over the jungle gym like a brave spider." And specifically encouraging them to overcome frustration, even through time-worn clichés like, "if at first you don't succeed, try try again," can be helpful to establish a "mental voice" for old-fashioned stick-to-itive-ness.
Rather than barking orders, owning our own perspective is more respectful of a child's still-developing sense of agency. While it can feel a bit bulky, saying: "I am asking you to do put that down" in lieu of "put that down!" is what I aim for. Similarly, saying "I don't like it when you stand on your chair because I'm concerned you might fall and hurt yourself, and it's my job to keep you safe." clues kids on your motives and role. Even owning our more unpleasant emotions can be helpful: "I'm irritated that you are doing that right now, as I have asked you two times to make a different choice." (Just don't be surprised when your child also is able to identify that she is "irritated" by something you do!)
Using please and thank you when making a request is also important in my view, though some books advise against it. As I want my child to use good manners, I personally feel it's only fair to use them myself when addressing her.
7) Getting out of a child's way is sometimes the best thing we can do. All of us have experienced a state that scientists now call "flow:" a state of productive engagement in which we feel relaxed and time seems to disappear. Creating an environment in the home which allows children to play in a way that facilitates this kind of moment — and being sure not to interrupt them when it is happening as cooperative or solo play — is essential to putting them in touch with their deepest capacities for self-engagement.
This is the main reason why we limit screens in our house. Although we make some exceptions for special circumstances (getting her to sit still for nail-cutting, for example, or for travel on a plane), in general there are no videos or TV at home. This has been helpful with our busy days, as it forces all of us to relax, to have play time or reading or craft time instead.
Some of the job is just creating open space for children to self-direct their activities. Being sure to leave kids alone when they are "in flow" is important. It's also important, to belabor this point from above a bit, that when they (inevitably) ask for us to look over what they've created, we respond with something deeper than a slap-dash pat on the head. The conversation should lead naturally to what could be a follow-on project, and thereby provide them with the next compelling invitation to enter this particular window onto human happiness.
8) Bargaining is bad — except when it isn't. Capitulation during a meltdown or due to the fear of a meltdown is not a good idea, as it provides the wrong incentives for emotional outbursts. In our house, we think that never bending due to the intensity of an emotional response is sound policy. And reasoning with a child in the midst of a meltdown or temper tantrum, when their responses are coming from their lizard brain, is asking the impossible, because their executive functioning has literally been cut off by the emotional surge to those flight-or-fights parts of their primitive brain.
On the other hand, allowing problem solving that engages the executive functioning of the brain — called the cerebral cortex — is good. So when a child is calmly suggesting alternatives that also meet the objectives of the parent ("Can I take two bites of carrot instead of broccoli?"), that is to be encouraged. This kind of logical negotiation is a basic skill, and may provide a way out before a melt-down gets triggered, even though at times it may drive me a bit batty.
Please do let me know what you think — how you call it differently — and what resources have been useful in finding your way.
A Few Stray Thoughts on the Unbearable Lightness of Parenting

In a more-or-less crash course on how to deal with a near-two-year-old, I've flipped through a significant number of parenting books full of perky, preachy "dos and don'ts" on talking to toddlers. They typically include tips on how to distract toddlers from a sudden obsession by introducing a different new toy, how to be soothing when an injury occurs ("You're ok"), or how to structure daily routines in the hopes of minimizing conflict.
And yet I had a gnawing sensation that few of my responses to our daily situations were landing right with Maya. Indeed, it seemed her very set-up, which is all about testing boundaries, was to push relentlessly on all of the serious limitations of this paltry toolbox of tricks. After all, if the corny dialogue in these books failed to hold my interest, how rich are they as a structure for a relationship between a parent and child?
On the other hand, when I actually sat down and read some of the latest fascinating explorations of the infant mind, such as Alison Gopnik's The Philosophical Baby, it became clear that, with the research that has become available in only the past decade or so, we now know a lot more about the inner lives of pre-verbal toddlers. We know, for example, that even very young infants connect cause and effect, have rich emotional and imaginative lives, and are more like people in miniature than we guess — meaning that the mix of inauthenticity, expectations for performative little moments ("come give mommy a hug") and condescension we show them much of the time must grate a little, to say the least.
So imagine my delight when the director of Maya's new preschool sent around an article about a philosophy of infant and child interaction called Resources in Educare, or RIE, which precisely addressed some of the missing pieces of this puzzle.
RIE, as a school of thought, was popularized in the U.S. by Magda Gerber, an author and teacher who brought a distinct philosophical approach to interactions with infants. One RIE disciple, Janet Lansbury, has a blog called Elevating Child Care that includes many interesting posts that I have since found helpful for dealing with older children.
I'm currently reading Gerber's book, Your Self-Confident Baby, and while, predictably, I don't agree with everything in it, there's a lot to like as well. I'll be posting a fuller review when I'm finished.
But I don't want to wait, because right away, I have found her and Lansbury's analysis of toddler psychology to be revealing and incredibly useful in my conversations with Maya. My instant take-aways to her writing and Lansbury's thoughtful posts thus far include the following:
It's preferable to be authentic than falsely cheerful in that "toddler tone."
Distracting a child who is focused on a task, even a frustrating or inappropriate one, may encourage a lack of sustained attention.
You can usefully (and thankfully!) drop the urge to entertain and allow child-directed play instead. (Given the literature on the importance of relationship-building and engagement, I sometimes feel Gerber takes the "do not teach" imperative a bit too far, but I get her point: parents, including me, play "the expert" all too much and fail to let children just learn for themselves.)
Resist the impulse to always correct a toddler's verbal mistakes — language acquisition is hard enough without fear of being caught in a mistake!
Don't say "you're ok" impulsively whenever there is an injury or perceive hurt — it's minimizing and mostly serves the interests of the parent, who needs the child to be ok. Instead, ask, "what happened?" first, which is far more respectful, and may actually give you information you may need.
Call out the intention of the child in a conflict and set boundaries clearly instead of just saying "no" loudly and repeatedly, which is the "technique" we had been trying. LOL. (Most exciting is that this actually works, mostly, as you'll see below — Eureka!)
The overall point is that parents unwittingly and with all good intentions over-ride and blot out children's own particular intentions, emotions, and useful frustrations in an attempt to make behavior more manageable, acceptable and pleasant. Yet these confrontations with the facts of the world are incredible learning moments.
While we must not ignore the social expectations others will have for toddlers, and we should communicate clearly about boundaries, we also don't have to let them know "the rules" in a way that dishonors or denies their feelings or motivations.
Cockily, I thought that we were doing pretty well by allowing Maya child-directed play as her main activity, and that we were respectful in our dealings with her. But when I had this "aha" moment, I was actually shocked to reflect upon how much of my dialogue with Maya still revolved around an attempt to conform her behavior through manipulation, often against her obstinate will to do some other thing instead.
In these tiny but powerful struggles, I would tell her "no" to something and witness the internal battle that raged within her, as she struggled to alter her desires to match mine. Mostly, of course, that struggle placed my request for compliance firmly on the losing side. And then had to be reinforced again, more loudly. You can see why this "strategy" was destined for failure.
But the other night, at the pool, with RIE in my pocket, things were different. The stage for an epic battle was set when Maya wandered 10 or so feet away from me close to some large steps leading up a hill, and I was still in the water. It was the ultimate test — could I control her with my voice alone?
I summoned my calmest, most determined voice, and tried the RIE approach, saying clearly, "Maya, I can see you want to go up the stairs [naming her intention]. But you may not go up the stairs because I am still in the pool, and you may not go up the stairs without me. That is the rule. [naming the rule and reason]. Please walk back to me."
A woman was standing nearby, and I would swear that when these words came out of my mouth she looked over at Maya and shook her head, ever so slightly. Yeah, right, lady, I could almost see her thinking, that'll work.
But here's the thing that truly shocked me: it did!
Maya gave out an involuntary little squeal like a angry pterodactyl, balled and unballed her fists, then turned and walked back to me. By the time she got back, she was actually smiling. (I may have, though I can't really be sure, shot the lady a brief, smug look as Maya was heading back my way.)
I've since tried this approach at other times, and I would have to say that even when it doesn't work perfectly, it's still far better than the former tactic of escalating "no's" or even, threatened consequences, Supernanny style. It feels more respectful, recognizes Maya's intentions and desires, and forces me to articulate our roles and whatever principle may be stake. As a geek and lawyer, I can't help but think of it as basic due process for children.
As this implies, when Maya is fully verbal, I may need new tools to avoid her lawyering everything to death. But for now, I would say, I've finally stumbled across a set of working guidelines that serve our family interactions far better than our former muddling-through.
I hope these few insights are useful to you as well, and I would encourage anyone working through similar issues to check out RIE and Lansbury's site. If you have techniques you like, please do share as well.

Beat egg yolks with 4 tablespoons Sugar. Beat the egg whites. Boil the milk with 1 tablespoon Sugar. When the milk is boiling, add the beaten egg to the boiling milk, spoon by spoon, letting it boil for a couple of minutes and removing it, spoon by spoon and drop into a bowl in which you previously place five crunched cookies. Continue this until there are no more egg whites left. Then pour the remaining milk over the beaten egg yolks, stirring over a hot plate until it stiffens (like pudding). When it is thick, pourit over the egg whites and cookies. Cool in refrigerator and serve cold.

Thanks for stopping by to see my Fun with Washi Tape post.
The idea for today's card was some inspiration I found on Pinterest. This card has lots of white space topped with a sweet little Washi tape present complete with bow. I added a small yellow background for a splash of happiness!
This is one of the quickest cards ever to put together and great for mass producing.
Thought I might even do this for a group of non-crafters at my next Party so they can see just how easy it is to make a quick card without being overwhelmed.
Then I came across the idea of making some cute Washi Tape toothpick flags, while baking cupcakes for my daughter's 4th birthday. Stay tuned to see them another day!
What I love so much about working with Washi Tape is that the projects are so quick, easy and the tape is so workable…. and it's fun!

The Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is establishing a database of the public activities, "sentiments" and personal information of hundreds of thousands of news publications, journalists, bloggers and "media influencers" around the world. The project was revealed in an April 3 notice on the governmental Federal Business Opportunities website requesting proposals from private contractors to administer the project.
There are no constraints on who should be placed in the database or what information it should contain. The instructions state: "For each media influencer found, present contact details and any other information that could be relevant." Given that the brief specifically refers to monitoring the "sentiments" of publishers, "relevant" information undoubtedly will include journalists' political views and affiliations, personal relations, and more.
The DHS was created by the George W. Bush administration in 2002 and provided with vast powers of domestic repression as part of the fraudulent "war on terror." It controls the customs and border patrol forces as well as the secret service. It is now headed by Kirstjen Nielsen, the former chief of staff to retired marine general John Kelly, who headed the DHS before being nominated as Trump's chief of staff. Nielsen was previously a special assistant to Bush and a senior director at the White House Homeland Security Council.
The DHS's construction of a journalist database follows reports of numerous journalists, artists and writers being detained and questioned while crossing the US border after having made critical statements against the Trump administration. The DHS announced last September that it has begun collecting social media information and search results of all immigrants—including green card holders and permanent residents—from Facebook and Twitter.
The database will be overseen by a sub-branch of the DHS, the National Protection and Programs Directorate, which oversees cybersecurity and communications.
Given the threat to the journalistic and democratic rights demonstrated in the latest revelations, it is particularly noteworthy that they have been met with a virtual blackout in the corporate-controlled media. Of the major media broadcasters, only CBS News and Forbes published a single article on the subject since Bloomberg Law broke the story on April 5. Neither the New York Times, the supposed "newspaper of record," MSNBC, or the Washington Post have written on the issue.
One can only imagine the howls of indignation that would be scrawled across the pages of the Times, Post and other corporate outlets if it was revealed that a similar operation to track and database the activities and "sentiments" of the world's journalists and bloggers was being conducted by the government of Vladimir Putin in Russia. It would be taken as the latest proof of the nefarious activities of the Kremlin to influence public opinion around the world and undermine American democracy.
But the columnists and editors at the Times and Post, which function as clearing houses for American government propaganda, take it for granted that the US government should monitor and database the views of journalists in the United States and around the world.
These publications are currently engaged in a ferocious campaign, led by the Democratic Party and intelligence agencies, to justify the censorship of the internet and alternative news sources, particularly socialist and left-wing publications, supposedly in the name of combating "fake news" and defending "authoritative news." They are insisting that the only legitimate sources of news information are the pages of the corporate-controlled press.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Arriving at Seven U.S. Carriers and Seven Retailers for an April Launch
Kellen April 17, 2013 @iamkellex 26
The Samsung Galaxy S4 may have been announced at a zany and somewhat entertaining press event at Radio City Music Hall in NYC back in March, but at the time, minimal U.S. carrier availability was mentioned outside of a couple of pre-orders. Today, Samsung has made almost all of it official, without mentioning any specific dates.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will launch starting in April at seven different U.S. carriers including Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Cricket, US Cellular, and C Spire. It will also be available at a variety of retailers including Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, RadioShack, Sam's Club, Staples, Target, and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and availability, as usual, will be announced individually by each carrier and retailer over the coming weeks.
The device itself is no different than what we got our hands-on already, and will feature Samsung's new suite of camera software, air view and gesture technology, powerful set of specs, and accessory lineup.
Knowing the history of announcements like this, I wouldn't be surprised if each carrier announced a launch date at various moments throughout the rest of the day.
The full press release with details on each new Galaxy S4 software feature along with a complete spec list can be found below.
SAMSUNG GALAXY S® 4 REDEFINES THE SMARTPHONE AGAIN WITH MORE LEADING-EDGE INNOVATIONS AND GOVERNMENT-GRADE SECURITY*

The Galaxy S 4 is optimized for powerful performance on the nation's fastest networks and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire starting during April. Additionally, consumers can find the Galaxy S 4 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, Radio Shack, Sam's Club, Staples, Target and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers and retailers in the coming weeks.
"The Galaxy S line of smartphones has achieved momentous success with 100 million in unit sales worldwide in less than three years. This validates that we are addressing what consumers want from a smartphone," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "The fourth generation of Samsung's flagship device builds upon the tradition of excellence and provides consumers with even more innovation that simplifies and redefines the way individuals will interact with their Galaxy S 4. We believe this device will be a true companion to all aspects of a consumer's life from work, to travel and even watching TV."
Meaningful Moments
The Galaxy S 4 combines the simple and visual interface introduced with the Galaxy Camera with a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera to take professional looking photographs with a smartphone. The front-facing 2-megapixel camera on the Galaxy S 4 allows consumers to capture special moments in unique and new ways with the Dual Camera shooting mode. Dual Camera mode takes pictures with both the rear and front cameras simultaneously to enable the photographer to be in the photo as well.
The Galaxy S 4 is loaded with several innovative capabilities that let anyone shoot like a professional:
Drama Shot: Capture a progressive event, like a baby's first steps or a basketball player's slam dunk, in one frame
Eraser Shot: Remove unwanted objects or people from an otherwise perfect picture

Protect Work and Personal Information
The Galaxy S 4 is not only perfect for personal use, but it is enterprise ready as a SAFE™-designated device. The Galaxy S 4 is the first Samsung device to include Samsung's KNOX solution, which provides comprehensive mobile security at the hardware level and enhanced personal privacy for individuals at the software level. All framework components come standard on the device, and full-feature activation by solution providers and distribution channels will be available at a later date.
The Galaxy S 4 simultaneously delivers on IT executives' need for industry-leading mobile security for companies with stringent security requirements. KNOX enables consumers to separate work via Samsung's containerization approach. IT managers can now access and manage the passcode-protected work container without disturbing the content within an individual's personal space on the device so consumer content, including photos, emails, music files and social network data remain intact on the device when an employee separates from a company.
With the Galaxy S 4, there are a number of features to simplify the experience for first-time smartphone owners, those interested in switching from another operating system and long-time Samsung consumers. The Galaxy S 4 has a streamlined start-up wizard so consumers can begin using the device faster and learn about its unique features from the start.
Easy Mode, which was first introduced on the Galaxy S III, has been enhanced to smooth the transition for first-time smartphone owners by simplifying the home screen layout, camera, calendar, messaging and the internet browser to make the settings menu easy to navigate. Once a user is more comfortable with their Galaxy S 4, they can easily switch back to the standard home screen interface.
With the launch of the Galaxy S 4, Samsung is also introducing Samsung Smart Switch™, a PC application that lets new owners transfer contacts, messages, photos, music, calendar notifications and more from another phone to the Galaxy S 4. Smart Switch can identify favorite applications and recommend the same or similar applications within Google Play™.
The Galaxy S 4 greatly improves upon the popular notification shade, which provides quick control of new innovative features, and the functionality most often accessed and changed by consumers. The expanded notification shade shows 19 settings so consumers can quickly and easily toggle them on and off as needed.
The sophisticated Galaxy S 4 is designed with a full-HD Super AMOLED™ (1920 X 1080) display with 441ppi for brilliant, stunning graphics on the device's 5-inch screen. The slimmer, sleeker smartphone weighs 4.6 ounces, is 7.9 millimeters thin and has a minimized bezel to maximize the viewing experience.
The Galaxy S 4 includes Android™ 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) with TouchWiz® enhancements, a 1.9 GHz quad core CPU and 2GB of internal RAM. The Galaxy S 4 is also uses Gorilla Glass® 3.0 – the most advanced, fortified glass for its stunning 5-inch display, making it stronger and more resistant to scratches and cracks than ever before.
The Galaxy S 4, available at select carriers in Black Mist and White Frost, is powered by a removable 2,600 mAh battery for extended use on a single charge. Users can store large libraries of photos, music and videos on the Galaxy S 4 with expandable memory of up to 64 GB to complement the standard 16GB or 32GB of onboard storage.
Protect the Galaxy S 4 with the S View Flip Cover, a specially designed flip cover that has a clear window to read a text message, answer or reject a call, and view the battery status. Sold separately, the S View Flip Cover comes in Black Mist and White Frost to add style, while protecting the device and providing privacy, and is sold separately.

Q: Laravel 5 - How to use $this->app->when() Reading about laravel bindings,I understand $this->app->bind,$this->app->singleton and $this->app->instance because they are almost the same.
But $this->app->when is a little bit tricky for me.
In laravel example
$this->app->when('App\Http\Controllers\UserController')
->needs('$variableName')
->give($value);
In my understanding it injects some primitive value and the App\Http\Controllers\UserController is the alias of the object that will be binded.But where is the object?
Can anyone explain? Thank you for your help.
A: Contextual binding does not work on variable names, but on types. It is used to provide different implementations for interfaces to consuming classes or functions, depending on the context. In fact, you can actually read the method calls and it does exactly what you'd expect. To elaborate on this, I'll take the example of the documentation and adapt it slightly:
$this->app->when(Worker::class)
->needs(Money::class)
->give(function () {
return new Dollar();
});
$this->app->when(Boss::class)
->needs(Money::class)
->give(function () {
return new Cheque();
});
In this example, Money is an interface and Dollar as well as Cheque are implementations of the interface. The example literally means that if you typehint Money on a Worker class, it will resolve to an instance of Dollar while it will resolve to Cheque on a Boss class. To illustrate, here the implementations and the results:
interface Money
{
public function getAmount();
}
class Dollar implements Money
{
public function getAmount()
{
return 1;
}
}
class Cheque implements Money
{
public function getAmount()
{
return 100000;
}
}
And now we typehint the Money interface to see what we'll get:
class Worker
{
public function __construct(Money $money)
{
echo $money->getAmount(); // prints '1'
}
}
class Boss
{
public function __construct(Money $money)
{
echo $money->getAmount(); // prints '100000'
}
}
A: It means that if a class of UserController is instantiated and it needs a variable with the name $variableName Larvel will automatically resolve this variable with the given value and you don't have to provide it.
For example:
$value = "Sven"
$this->app->when('App\Http\Controllers\UserController')
->needs('$userName')
->give($value);
This would insert the value 'Sven' into the UserController whenever it needs the variable with the name $userName
In other words, if you had a function like public function __construct(Request $request) Laravel knows what to insert because it knows that a Request object is expected. When you use a function like public function __construct($name) Laravel has no clue what to insert here, essentially you tell Laravel how to resolve this variable with the bindings.
This is an example of primitive binding, for Contextual binding see the answer of @Namoshek
A: In case anyone finds this thread, trying to achieve contextual binding on an app()->make() or similar situation:
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Container\Container;
class FooBar {
public function doSomething(): void
{
//...do your thing
$this->getFooObject();
}
private function getFooObject(): FooAbstract
{
$class = FooAbstract::class;
$buildStack = static::class;
app()->beforeResolving(
$class,
Closure::bind(
function () use ($buildStack) {
$this->buildStack[] = $buildStack;
},
app(),
Container::class,
)
);
return app($class);
}
}
In the above example laravel's app container is bind as $this to this closure. Since the buildStack property, that's used to identify the object that "needs" the object that is being created, is protected, we have access to it, and we can add the classname to the stack.
for example: if $buildStack = Bar::class; you can do the following
app()->when(FooBar::class)->needs(FooAbstract::class)->give(FooImplementation::class);

Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities portrays a world on fire, split between Paris and London during the brutal and bloody events of the French Revolution. This Penguin Classics edition of is edited with an introduction and notes by Richard Maxwell.
'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...'
After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with his daughter in England. There, two very different men, Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal shadow of La Guillotine.
This edition uses the text as it appeared in its first serial publication in 1859 to convey the full scope of Dickens's vision, and includes the original illustrations by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). Richard Maxwell's introduction discusses the intricate interweaving of epic drama with personal tragedy.
Charles Dickens is one of the best-loved novelists in the English language, whose 200th anniversary was celebrated in 2012. His most famous books, including Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, David Copperfield and The Pickwick Papers, have been adapted for stage and screen and read by millions.
If you enjoyed A Tale of Two Cities, you might like Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop, also available in Penguin Classics.

The Government of Canada has Ordered a surtax on the importation of certain steel goods to come into force on October 25th, 2018.
The Order applies to all countries except the U.S., Chile, Israel, Mexico, and General Preferential Tariff countries. Below is more detail on how it affects each of these countries.
The Order does not apply to steel goods originating in and importing from the U.S., Chile, and Israel, as well as any other beneficiary from the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement.
For Mexico, the Order only applies to energy tubular products and wire rod.
The Order also does not apply to many developing countries who are beneficiaries of the General Preferential Tariff. The one exception is for Vietnam, concrete reinforcing bar from Vietnam will not be exempt from the Order.
It is important to note all of the certain steel goods eligible for the exemption must both originate in and be imported from the same country. Therefore a steel plate originating from Finland but being imported from the U.S. would not be exempt from the Order's surtax.
You will continue to receive updates from Pacific Customs Brokers on how the order is being enforced, and how you may still be able to import certain amounts of steel, free of surtax, with shipment specific permits.
For further information on the Government of Canada Ordering a surtax on certain steel goods you can read the update from Canada Border Services Agency, the update from the Department of Finance Canada, or talk with an expert trade advisor from Pacific Customs Brokers.

'Trying to acquire Purple Hearts'
By - The Washington Times - Wednesday, August 25, 2004
John Kerry has presented his Vietnam record as his major qualification to be president of the United States. It is, therefore, the duty of the American public to scrutinize that record carefully. And it is the duty of candidate John Kerry to facilitate that scrutiny. If all the senator's claims about his four months in Vietnam are factual, it would be to his great advantage to facilitate such scrutiny.
Before we get to his record in Vietnam, however, we should examine the widespread misconception about how he got to Vietnam. The oft-repeated claim that Mr. Kerry volunteered to go to Vietnam misleads: He apparently volunteered only after the draft deferment he had applied for was turned down — thus allowing him to choose service in the Navy to avoid being drafted into the Army.
I served as a combat surgeon in DaNang, (U.S. Naval Support Hospital) from Dec. 10, 1967, through Dec. 11, 1968. While there, I evaluated and treated hundreds of severely wounded combatants.
During my year in DaNang, a few combatants urged me to verify small abrasions as "wounds" so they could get a Purple Heart. Each freely admitted trying to acquire Purple Hearts as rapidly as possible to take advantage of the policy allowing those with three Purple Hearts to apply to leave Vietnam early. I refused them. But some went shopping for another opinion. Unfortunately, we had some antiwar physicians in Vietnam who were happy to become accomplices in these frauds. Most with valid Purple Hearts didn't need to apply to leave Vietnam: The seriousness of their wounds demanded it.
Lt. John Kerry's collecting three Purple Hearts within 100 days — all for wounds too minor to require hospitalization — recalls the distasteful memories of having to deal with those few miscreants in DaNang. More disturbing is the revelation that crewmen on Mr. Kerry's boat denied they had received any gunfire from shore at the time when Lt. Kerry claimed such gunfire had caused his wound. The doctor who disapproved Lt. Kerry's application for his first Purple Heart for that wound agreed that the tiny metal splinter sticking in the skin of his arm was inconsistent with enemy gunfire from shore. His crewmates claimed that Lt. Kerry, himself, had fired a grenade launcher from the boat striking a rock on the nearby shore — and his wound was from a metal splinter from the grenade that ricocheted back, striking him in the arm.
Is there any way we can determine who was telling the truth about this first Purple Heart? Yes, there is. The type of wound can reveal much about the weapon that caused it. The tiny sliver of metal and its very superficial penetration is typical of fragments from explosive devices — like grenades. It would not have resulted from the most likely gunfire from shore — small arms rifle fire. The AK 47 rifle, used by the enemy, fires a 30-caliber bullet, which is 50 times or more as heavy as the sliver of metal sticking in Lt. Kerry's skin. Such a bullet would have passed through any part of his body it struck, and certainly no part of it would have remained sticking in his skin.
In the absence of the medical records that Mr. Kerry apparently declines to make public, the only details we have about his second and third Purple Hearts are that he also based them on wounds too minor to require hospitalization. My reason for refusing to verify insignificant wounds as the basis for a Purple Heart was the regulation covering Purple Heart awards. In Part B, Paragraph 2, of the Army Purple Heart Regulation (600-8-22 of 25 February 1995), we find "the wound for which the award is made must have required treatment by a medical officer."
Dr. Louis Letson was entirely correct in turning down Lt. Kerry's first Purple Heart — even if the wound had been the result of enemy action. Can there be any doubt that the tiny metal sliver could have been removed easily, and safely, by a Navy corpsman? It certainly did not "require" treatment by a medical officer (an MD).
Purple Hearts are not supposed to be awarded for self-inflicted wounds, nor for wounds too minor to require treatment by a physician. So where and how did Lt. Kerry eventually obtain a Purple Heart for his first wound? Nobody seems to know. Only his medical records will tell — and the American public needs that information to evaluate candidate Kerry's qualifications and candor.
The highly unlikely occurrence of being wounded three times within 100 days, in the very beginning of a tour of duty, and all three wounds being so minor that none required hospitalization, would seem sufficient cause for further investigation.Addingthe inconsistencies surrounding Lt. Kerry's first Purple Heart should make mandatory a thorough scrutiny of his medical records by someone highly qualified to interpret military medical records, and familiar with the regulations on the qualifications for the Purple Heart Medal, to determine if the wounds for which Lt. Kerry was awarded the Purple Heart Medal were serious enough to "require" treatment by a medical officer, as called for by the Purple Heart regulation.
Mr. Kerry has made his Vietnam War record the centerpiece of his campaign. This demands a thorough objective evaluation of his medical records to determine if the three Purple Hearts that allowed him to leave Vietnam after only four months of duty were justified. This evaluation needs to be done before the election.
Dr. Martin L. Fackler served as a combat surgeon in Vietman in 1968. A fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, he also is an author, expert witness and lecturer on wound ballistics and surgery, and former director of the Wound Ballistics Laboratory at Presidio.

Good news also that Cameron's co-chairs are President Yudhoyono of middle income but still fragile Indonesia, and President Johnson-Sirleaf of grossly underdeveloped and war-recovering Liberia. Both are twice-elected presidents of countries still experimenting with democracy and freedom. One is an ex-general; the other an ex-international civil servant. Meanwhile Cameron is struggling to deal with coalition government, a free media and serious economic constraints. Quite a broad set of real world perspectives, so hopefully suitable for the leadership of such a panel.
Good news also that Cameron has a broad and deep level of aid and development expertise available to him in DFID and other parts of the UK civil service, along with a large professional UK-based aid and development community, and a significant proportion of global academic development expertise based in the UK; and that the country he leads has a tradition of international humanitarianism.
Good news too, that this is all happening after, and can thus draw on the deep and comprehensive work done by the World Bank for its 2011 World Development Report on Development and Security, which laid bare some of the tired misconceptions of how development happens in places where there's not yet the rule of law or responsible, responsive and representative governance. The ongoing International Dialogue on Peacebuilding and Statebuilding has also produced some useful interim work on how to promote the emergence of peaceful and effective states, on which the new High Level Panel must draw.
Even better news however, that Cameron is not personally an aid or overseas development expert; and nor is Yudhoyono. Because, as I've argued before, the great limitation of aid experts is that we tend to have a rather narrow view of the possibilities of development and aid, constrained as we are by our own experiences and by the vested interests of our organisations and allegiances. The co-chairs will be better able to see the wood from the trees if they avoid surrounding themselves too tightly with the usual ODA suspects.
And finally, this is presumably good news for UK-based and -linked groups wanting to influence the post-MDGs agenda – including the global coalition Beyond 2015. How then should we use this opportunity of access to the co-chair of the commission?
1. Scope: it's time for a truly global framework. This is a brilliant opportunity, at a time when globalisation, environmental limits, and climate change really do imply that we are all in it together, to develop a framework which applies globally - not just to poor countries. This means coming up with a framework which is relevant throughout the world, and which avoids objectifying poorer nations. It also recognises that all nations have significant problems to overcome, and different comparative advantages in the overarching global progress project. This approach would also help take the conversation away from a narrow focus on aid.
2. Frame this project around human progress, not aid. Whatever people might say, the MDGs are really about aid, not development; they only really apply to aid-recipient countries, and their real purpose has always been as a spur to increase aid flows and focus them on a few generic issues. That has not worked well: they haven't served the purpose of mobilising politicians, civil society, businesses and civil servants to develop sustainable development strategies based on a comprehensive context analysis and political vision for change. Instead, because they are so narrow and aid-focused, they've probably impeded the development of a broad and far-reaching vision for change in some countries.
3. Timing: take it slow. A very visible and rather contentious high level panel is the kind of scenario in which civil servants and sherpas will typically encourage the leaders to set out an aggressive calendar to pre-form the outcomes much too early in the process. Of course, that's their job. But in this case they should resist business as usual. Two main points to make here. First, it really doesn't matter if we have something finalised in time for the 2015 UN General Assembly or not; the world will not stop turning, and development policies, funds and strategies will not grind to a halt. Second, it's absolutely critical to cast the ideas net as widely as possible before coming up with potential models for discussion. This is a large and diverse world, in which that will take time. And the prize is well worth the waiting. Indeed, in some ways the debate is far more important than the final product.
4. Preparation: get out there and start listening, and avoid formulating specific proposals for as long as you can. The Panel needs to spend at least the next two years simply looking around at and listening to people's ideas, and consulting widely. It's important to canvas a whole range of ideas from a wide range of sources, from poor and marginalised people to elites, from political oppositions to incumbents, from NGOs to the UNDP, from insurgent rebels to the militias fighting them, from local businesses to multi-nationals, from scientists to philosophers, from novelists to historians, from children to mums and dads, from heterosexuals to homosexuals, from farmers to hedge fund managers, from Cubans to Americans and Greeks to Germans, from Keynesians to the Chicago School, Moslems to Christians, from migrant labourers to the rentier classes, from the Chinese Communist Party to the American Republican Party, from immigrants to indigenous people, from islanders to continentals, from the Taleban to the US Marines, from DFID to the FCO… and yes, let's even ask both the Occupy protesters and the bankers what they think.
… And ideally of course, these different groups – and others – need to be brought together to discuss and confront each others' ideas so the dialectic process can do its work. This is quite a challenge, and it will take time and resources – and excellent project management. Perhaps the greatest challenge will be to find the best marriage between technical and political views of development progress, and between different ideological views. But it's important not to shy away from ideological debate, as development practitioners have often tried to do in the past.
5. Get the purpose right, so form follows function. There are plenty of people and institutions out there who seem to know what the post-MDGs framework should look like; and of course each of them is pushing a particular agenda. No harm in that, but the first question the Panel needs to answer is: What is the purpose of the new framework? Form should follow function, after all.
In my view the purpose of any global post-MDGs framework should not be to set out precise goals and indicators as with the MDGs. It would be more useful to create a broader vision of how people in different contexts can be better governed and live more prosperous, peaceful and fulfilling lives. Specific countries and institutions can then use these for inspiration as they determine their own goals and strategies.
One clue as to how to frame our aspirations is to imagine how historians in a hundred years might frame the history of human progress in 2015-2030. Put simply, development planning is history looking forwards.
7. Don't aim for a fine level of detail. Last time around, not many people were paying attention to the MDGs as they were developed and agreed. There were a lot of other things going on. So the framers were able to push their product through without too much fuss and argument. This time, every UN agency is already preparing its pitch; Rio-plus-twenty will produce a pitch; every lobby you can imagine will be figuring out what it wants to see and – perhaps more importantly – what it doesn't want to see included. It will be very hard to get agreement on detail except at the lowest common denominator level. So aim for something broader. But for goodness sake don't base your ambition on what can most easily be agreed: this issue is more important than easy consensus. It's worth arguing about.
8. Don't base yourself only on what we already know how to do: there is so much we still have to learn – the UK still hasn't figured out how to provide free mass public education effectively, even though it's the sixth biggest economy and has been "developed" for quite some time now.
9. While thinking outside the box and casting the net widely, nevertheless take care to identify what's already agreed. A good place to start might be the 2000 Millennium Declaration, which is pretty comprehensive – certainly far more so that the narrow and prescriptive MDGs.
10. Above all, avoid simply injecting new momentum behind the existing MDGs, as has been proposed by some, on the grounds that they haven't yet been achieved and because it will be hard to find consensus on a better model. That would be a cop-out. Two presidents and a prime minister leading a high level panel should be in a strong enough position not to cop-out.

CYA is clearly into long-term sustainability. Having brought records management integrity to IBM's FileNet, then addressed Smart Recovery for EMC, the company is now tackling recycle bin solutions for the enterprise. CYA Recycle Bin is a hosted self-restore solution for enterprise CMS users. Its intention is to guard against information loss at the user, administrative and system levels sans system or application downtime. In short, the Recycle Bin enables you to restore accidental deletions of documents or folders you shouldn't be getting rid of. It also renders users independent of admins, who typically need to approve information restoration -- generally the last thing on their minds.This may sound like a small offering, but apparently CYA is the only firm providing a portfolio of granular recovery and object integrity solutions for the three tiers of ECM (user, admin, system). Its SmartRecovery offering also plays nicely with EMC NetWorker, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and Symantec VERITAS NeetBackup. The data loss window can be reduced to about 15 minutes. Hit the CYA website for special pricing on the recycling and recovery features for a limited time.

Friends of the Presidential Rail Trail
Explore the Other Side of the Presidentials
"Hotspots" for Birds on the PRT
By David Forsyth [All photos by the author]
The Presidential Rail Trail stretches for about 20 miles from Gorham to the Airport (Hazen) Road near the Whitefield airport. While you may observe birds anywhere along the trail, there are two main "hotspots" for birding. A couple of others are worth exploring; the Whitefield Airport area itself, which, although strictly speaking not on the trail, is special. One hotspot is in eastern Randolph towards the Gorham end of the rail trail, while the other is at Cherry Pond in the Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge near the western end of the trail. Although many of the birds that you are likely to find are common to both hotspots, the two sites offer quite different birding experiences. The Randolph section of rail trail is an intimate setting, with the birds in close proximity to the trail, whereas near Cherry Pond the open water and wetland areas extend over a much larger area, and the birds are further away. Of course, this larger pond attracts more waterfowl, especially during migration.

Beaver Ponds in Randolph
Starting where the PRT intersects the Dolly Copp (Pinkham B) Road in Randolph, a half-mile stretch heading east towards Gorham provides very interesting birding. In the summer I have observed more than 50 species here. The first quarter-mile heads through mostly deciduous, fairly dense woods with a small amount of slowly moving water beside part of it. The next quarter-mile is an open area with beaver ponds and wetlands. Beyond this, the trail runs through mostly coniferous woods at the base of a ridge on Mount Madison. Thus, the habitat varies significantly over a short distance. The open area near the beaver ponds is the most productive for birding; sometimes you can spot other wildlife such as beaver, otter, bear or moose.
In the deciduous woods at the start, you may catch a glimpse of red-eyed vireos,
Hermit thrush
black-capped chickadees, and a hermit thrush or veery, although you are more apt to hear rather than actually see them.
Similarly, a pileated woodpecker might be heard or glimpsed here, as well as further down the trail. Wild turkey wander along or across the trail.
Pileated woodpecker
At the beaver ponds, flycatchers are well represented, with very common sightings of
Least flycatcher
least flycatcher, alder flycatcher, Eastern phoebe, and somewhat less common occurrences of Eastern kingbird. In migration, you may also see olive-sided flycatchers. You can almost always see cedar waxwings that often behave like flycatchers. It's not unusual to see flocks of 10 to 20 waxwings any time from spring well into fall. A belted
kingfisher or two can usually be spotted checking for prey in the ponds. A very frequent presence is a pair of solitary sandpipers; occasionally other wading birds may be observed. An American bittern shows up here but if you see a bittern, it is usually flying away from you, as they are quite shy birds.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds visit the flowers alongside the trail.

Overhead you will undoubtedly see and hear American crows and blue jays fly by or perch. Very commonly broad-winged hawks can be observed.
Broad-winged hawk juvenile
Cooper's hawk, American kestrel and merlin are less common. In addition to pileated woodpecker, both hairy and downy woodpeckers are common, as well as yellow-bellied sapsucker and Northern flicker. The number and variety of ducks is usually not large, depending somewhat on the water level in the beaver ponds, but it is not unusual to see hooded merganser, wood duck, and mallard.
Yellow-bellied sapsucker
Song birds are varied and change a lot with the season, although some clearly nest here. You can expect to see goldfinch and sparrows, most commonly song sparrow, swamp sparrow, and white-throated sparrow. Warbler observations are quite seasonal but nesting species include common yellowthroat, yellow-rumped warbler, and ovenbird.
Ovenbird
Black-and-white warbler
Others less commonly observed include palm, chestnut-sided, black-and-white, blackburnian, and magnolia warblers. The latter warblers are most often found where the alders and conifers begin toward the end of the marshes, along with black-capped chickadee and red-breasted nuthatch. Red-eyed vireos are always around during the summer, and, during migration, blue-headed vireos and an occasional yellow-throated vireo. Rusty blackbird, Eastern bluebird, and American pipit are fun species to spot here, again usually in migration.
Cherry Pond
Cherry Pond is the largest body of water in the Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge. A viewing platform for the pond is accessible by a very short side trail off Presidential Rail Trail.
Cherry Pond viewing platform
The entire wildlife refuge should be considered a hotspot for birding with quite a few different habitats to visit. In addition to Cherry Pond, but not directly along the Presidential Rail Trail, are Little Cherry Pond and Mud Pond. Cherry Pond is large enough that common loons frequently visit and nest there. Great blue herons have nested as well. Many waterfowl can be seen: common goldeneye, white-winged scoter, pied-bill grebe, and wood and ring-billed ducks. At the Big Sit birding event on Columbus Day weekend in October, it's not unusual to see more than 40 bird species just from the platform at Cherry Pond. Ruffed grouse are commonly encountered on the rail trail near the platform. Many of the bird species that are listed above for the Randolph site are seen here as well. In fact, overall, around 170 species have been seen in the wildlife refuge.
Other Birding Spots on the Rail Trail
Another site somewhat different from either of the major "hotspots" is the Randolph Community Forest extension on the south side of U.S. Route 2 known as the Farrar tract, after the family who farmed the property for many years. This site is about 3.5 miles west of the Appalachia trailhead. What was formerly a farmer's meadow extends from the rail trail about 100 yards down to Israel's River. It is still mowed annually to maintain the meadow. Willow flycatchers can be found here, and it is also a good place to see belted kingfishers. Among others, the meadow attracts ruby-throated hummingbirds, and the river, spotted sandpipers. This open area provides good viewing overhead to see hawks and an occasional eagle flying over. Another site on the rail trail worth a look is the Moorhen Marsh wetland area just to the east of Cherry Pond. Here you may see the marsh wren or certainly hear it calling in the early summer.

Jan Erasmus Reyning (1640–1697) was a Dutch pirate, privateer and naval officer.
Jan Erasmus Reyning was born in Flushing in 1640 as the son of a Danish mariner and a Zeeland woman. As a boy, he went to sea with his father and later started a seaman's career of his own. He was taken prisoner during the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665–1667), and later served as an engagé (servant) on a French plantation on the island of Hispaniola. Around 1667 he became a buccaneer, i.e. a hunter in central Hispaniola, and around 1669 he started a career as a pirate or filibuster.
Although documentary evidence is limited, Reyning is believed to have fought as a privateer captain with French or English letters of marque between 1669 and 1672. His partner was one Jelle Lecat (probably born in Frisia as Jelle de Kat). Reyning must have co-operated with renowned pirates as Roche Braziliano and Henry Morgan. According to reliable Spanish documents, Reyning offered his services to his former Spanish enemies at Campeche around January 1672. The Spanish accepted his services and he even took catechisation lessons from a Catholic priest. In 1673 Reyning, Lecat, and Irish pirate Philip Fitzgerald took more than 40 vessels in the area, mostly logwood cutters. Later that year, when Reyning learned that his home country, The Netherlands, was at war with England and France (in the Franco-Dutch War and the Third Anglo-Dutch War), he sailed to the Dutch colony of Curaçao. He became a sort of Robin Hood for Curaçao that was threatened by many enemies.
In his later years Reyning was a Dutch gentleman and marine officer who died at full sea in the Gulf of Biskay in a storm on 2 February 1697.

At the World Book Fair 2012, Delhi, I had a great day exploring my favorite world of books, writers and publishers. Juhi and I explored stall after stall, hunting for the kind of books that we can't typically find. It was a fantastic all-day experience. We talked, thought, bought and binged over books, books and books!We also had fun at the Penguin stall, where a blazing orange colored Penguin car stole the show over all the rows of books.
Of course, we are looking tired because it was a tiring day and we are definitely not looking at our best. But the Penguin Car is and that, dear friends, is all that matters for book lovers like you!
