Lebanon MPs call for extra security /node/1617471/middle-east
Parliament is due to meet on Monday and Tuesday to approve a draft budget for 2020.
Shops and businesses facing the parliament’s entrance and access points have borne the brunt of violent protests in recent days.
Protesters used petrol bombs as well as firecrackers for the first time on Wednesday night, according to security personnel.
Jan Kubis, the UN special coordinator in Lebanon, tweeted that some protesters were attempting to “provoke the security forces, undermine civil peace and fuel sectarian strife.”
Ralph Tarraf, EU envoy to Lebanon, said: “We are ready to positively commit to assisting the government if it implements constructive reforms that can improve the government’s performance.”

Former Arvest Bank President Dennis Smiley may face a two-level increase in the minimum federal sentencing guidelines, according to a 14-page sentencing memorandum filed Thursday (Jan. 7).
In its pre-sentence investigation, the United States Probation Office “properly found, pursuant to USSG §3B1.3, that Smiley abused a position of trust, requiring a two level increase in defendant’s offense level.” Smiley’s sentencing is set for Jan. 28.
Smiley plead guilty to one count of wire fraud on Aug. 25 after a lengthly investigation into his fraudulent bank loans totaling more than $6.3 million borrowed from 23 different Arkansas banks. The loss resulting from the loans is expected to be $5.282 million, according to the plea agreement.
“Even if some individual steps in Smiley’y’stime … TC … these facts alone support an enhancement for sophisticated means,” noted Kenneth Elser, assistant U.S. Attorney and author of the prosecution’s amendment.
A two-point upward adjustment would bump the minimum 57-month sentence to a 70-month sentence minimum based on the federal sentencing guideline for fraud involving the $4 million owed to bank victims. Federal judges are able to make “downward departures” in the minimum sentencing guidelines.
Smiley, through his attorney W.H. Taylor, filed a 28-page sentencing addendum on Thursday in which he made a case for leniency. Smiley objected to the two-level increase supported by statute, denying the crime was “sophisticated” in nature. Smiley devoted three-quarters of the filing to share his civic accomplishments over the course of more than a decade, which included board positions on the Jones Trust, Care Foundation, NorthWest Arkansas Community College andSmiley said he feels great remorse for the crimes committed and the people he disappointed. For years Smiley said he “woke up each morning shaking” at the thought of the web of debt that he had spun as he lived well beyond his means. All the while Smiley said he always planned to repay each loan in full, admitting that he eventually lapsed into denial when the debt because too large to control.
Smiley asked the court to consider his work in the community and that if allowed to serve a shorter sentence he would have more years to earn money to repay the looming debt.
Lastly, Smiley urged to court to not see the 24 banks owed money as victims, noting that they made him loans without doing their own due diligence.
Elser’s filing argued that Smiley used his position as president of Arvest in Springdale and Benton County to facilitate the perpetration and concealment of the bank fraud. He said the former banker also admitted to falsifying financial statements, forging the name of his own father as co-borrower without his knowledge.
Smiley also made fraudulent material misrepresentations to each bank regarding the collateral, which was his Arvest stock held in a restricted account. At the time Smiley’s fraudulent scheme was discovered by the various banks, Smiley had loans totaling more than $4 million dollars which were owed to 20 different banks all of which he had collateralized with his Arvest stock which was worth less than $500,000, Elser’s filing noted.
Lastly, the filing said Smiley admitted that he signed and directed and caused three subordinates and other executives at Arvest to sign various documents which falsely assured the banks that the collateral was unencumbered and would be available to satisfy the loans if the loans were not paid back, an admission that was also confirmed by a review of the bank records.
“While Arvest did not make the loans that were covered by the fraudulent scheme, Arvest was no less a victim of the scheme and sustained the largest loss of all victims,” Elser said.

20th April 2nd, 2021,Die Another Day (2002)!
The time was the early aughts and action movies were all about high-octane stunts which incorporated ever-growing power of computer-generated imagery. More importantly, though, the cinematic spy game Bond helped create now had a decent amount of competition. The Bourne Identity (2002) opened in June of that year and proved not only to be a massive hit, but a breath of fresh air for spy-thrillers. A couple of months later, in August ’02, xXx, a movie that touted itself as a spy flick for the younger set, was released. Part of this movie’s promotion was claiming, “James Bond is your grandpa’s spy movie!” With shots fired, it seems clear that the Bond franchise felt the need to ride the trend train more than ever.
At the same time, the dichotomy of the two halves reflects the film’s overall problem. Tonally, Die Another Day is generally lighter with an adventure clearly meant to be more of a treat for fans. Yet, at the same time, the movie vacillates between being fun and quite somber. Sadly, except for the opening act, the shifts don’t quite work. With every tonal shift, it becomes clear that this is one of the weakest in the series from a filmmaking standpoint.
Of course, the most glaringly painful aspect of the movie is all its CGI effects. In my estimation, the utilization of CGI here almost overwhelms the film, making it a very tough watch these days. Then again, I don’t remember them being all that impressive back when I watched it in the theater.
Granted, there are exceptions when it comes to our hero and villain, respectively. Unlike the previous entry, Brosnan seems to be reinvested in his character and is seemingly having a good time on-screen despite not caring for this film’s general approach. Had Brosnan had his way, the franchise would have abandoned the abundance of CGI effects and overblown action in favor of taking Bond’s character and the films back to the darker tone of Ian Fleming’s novels. Then there’s Toby Stephens, who chews the scenery and is loving his role. As a result, I enjoyed watching him. Interestingly though, Die Another Day was not Stephens’ final foray in the world of 007. Following this film, Stephens portrayed James Bond himself in seven different BBC Radio adaptations of Fleming’s novels.
Still, my nostalgia is not strong enough to change the fact that Die Another Day is perhaps the most egregious Franchise Implosion of all! Like many of its predecessors, this film is uneven and ultimately silly. More importantly, though, it’s a film concerned with being a product of its time instead of a proper Bond adventure. (Complete with an absolutely dreadful techno theme song by Madonna.) And despite the film’s financial success, EON Productions knew they had made a misstep. Furthermore, the film’s producers and writers later admitted that they misunderstood what the fanbase wanted from the franchise at the time. As such, they would choose to go back to franchise’s more somber, novelistic roots and essentially reboot the series the next time around.

After purchasing Return to Castle Wolfenstein, I had enjoyed playing the game from start to end ...or so I thought!
It turns out that the MAC version of the game has about 12 FEWER LEVELS than the original version!And there are more bad guys in the original as well. Not to mention that there is a whole intro scene and series of levels which sets up the storyline prior to the point where the game begins for us on the MAC!
Is this news to just me?Or have some of you here known about this shortchanging in games for MAC users?
I don't think the xbox version is the original...
Are you sure they "added stuff" to the XBox and PS2 versions?Or, as it would seem more likely to me, they EDITED OUT stuff from the MAC version?
"..W"
"Made for the Xbox: Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Tides of War delivers Dolby Digital 5.1 audio; new monsters, weapons, and useable items; an expanded story line, including new missions..."
I liked RTCW until the end which I found very unfulfilling. It certainly wasn't that hard. I really enjoyed the combat in the towns. I am thinking about getting one of the WWII-era first-person shooters . . . Any suggestions?
I think I'm gonna stick to doing work on my Mac. My work is fun anyway!

Youth employment in Cambodiadevelopment Meet our team.
Cah almost 60% of the population under 25 years and over 31% between the ages of 15-24 and 300,000 youth entering the labour market every year. Creating an environment for decent and productive employment is one of the country’s main challenges, so from 2016 on UNV Cambodia focuses on increasing youth employability through volunteerism under a special project.
In our research on volunteerism and youth employment in Cambodia, we aim to understand what drives youth volunteerism and what are the opportunities and constraints for young people’s participation in social and economic life in their communities.
A world, where volunteerism is recognised and valued within societies as a way to achieve peace and develop
“Volunteeringt: our world better.”
The first UN Volunteers arrived in Cambodia in 1991 and UNV opened its field office soon afte.
In the course of the following two years, over 700 international UN Volunteers were deployed in support of the electoral process, the massive humanitarian and relief efforts and later in technical assistance.
Since 1991 over 1,460 UN Volunteers have served in Cambodia in different sectors with almost all UN agencies, NGOs as well as with some Government bodies. During this period over 90 Cambodians have served as International UN Volunteers with different UN missions and programmes overseas.
Since 2006, UNV has also been supporting national volunteer organizations to deploy local volunteers for grassroots initiatives in some of the poorest rural provinces of the country.
Jenny Shotton
In August 2017, Jenny became UNV Cambodia’s Volunteer Programme Specialist. She joined The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programmet different volunteer programmes in the Global South. Her most recent position was Youth Programme Manager with Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) Cambodia.

She also acts as ad interim youth-employability project manager for the IBSA Fund.
She holds a Master’s d.
Tomáš Drška
Tomáš told us why he decided to volunteer: “I don’t have a vision of saving a world, but I believe that every one of us can do And this is exactly what volunteering is about.”

Earlier, she has worked at WaterSHED (consultant in field translation), the International Finance Corporation (team assistant), and La Compagnie Bosba Panh (PR assistant).
Dae-Eun Lee
Before joining the UNV, Mr Lee has served under the US Army as a ROK soldier for two years as an Administrative Specialist. However, his duties have spanned over a wide scale of logistics, supply procurement, army property and inventory interpretation/translation, and CBRN.

the scene in question. But if it’s not essential, then it has to go. If I can transplant the joke somewhere else, I will. If I can tell it in fewer words, I shall. And the end result: a pacy, fast, page-turning read (if I say so myself) that is better than it was before.
Of course, this isn’t it. When I’m done, Sophie’s Run goes back to Sapphire Star again; my lovely publisher, has, of course, already read my second masterpiece, but now it’s time for the full-on, no holds-barred, all-out publisher edits.
But write and promote a Trilogy within a contracted timeframe with a publisher while also performing my day job as a mum? Yeah, bring it on! Right at this moment, I am juggling. I’m juggling promotion, editing, planning and writing, and I’m having a ball.

If you’ve enjoyed Sophie’s Turn, you’ll be in for a real treat, if I say so myself with all due humility. Sophie’s Run is due for release by Sapphire Star Publishing on 7 February 2013.
The working title is Sophie’s Encore and this bookSeptember 2013!! It’s too early to give you a teaser for this last part, but it will end the story with due style and panache. I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!

Belated Happy Birthday! The only advice I can offer you is to stay close to God and continue to let Him guide you. From reading your blog (I went all the way back to the very first post) I think you are doing quite well. Best of everything to you and your family in the new year!
Well, I’m 32, dreading 33, because it means I’m getting older.

I remember my Mom showing me a horse for the first time…one of my earliest memories. I remember anticipating kindergarten. I remember elementary school, Moving to MN, Jr. High, a near-suicide, a parent’s death, college graduation, running my first race, winning my first silver downhill medal, the birth of my cousin now pregnant herself….and it all goes on and on. And it’s just gone in a flash. Now I’m 32, I have gray hair, I am nowhwere near the “Golden child” I thought I would be by this age.

Fraunhofer invites Lazpiur to its headquarters in Chemnitz (Germany) to promote their technological relationship
This year has seen the Basque company take another step further as an international benchmark company by supplying precision tooling for a partnering project between the largest technological centre in Europe and the multinational company Schuler.
Chemnitz, Germany, 25th October 2017
Fraunhofer, the largest technological centre in Europe, intends to promote its technological partnering with Lazpiur. The director of the Forging Technology and Tool Machine (IWU) division of the German company, Dirk Langrebe, received today at the Chemnitz headquarters, representation of the company to forge new ways by which to strengthen their emerging relationship.
This year, the German company has assigned Lazpiur to carry out a project that consolidates it as an international benchmark. This involved supplying all tooling for a joint project between two of the largest names, internationally speaking, in the forging sector (Schuler) and the technology sector (Fraunhofer Institut) for the American automotive industry.
Lazpiur successfully fulfilled this order to supply highly accurate tooling, for a large press. The press was manufactured by Schuler, the leading company in the plastic and metal forging equipment sector. With a workforce of 5,200, it operates in 40 different countries and is part of the Austrian multinational Andritz. This project has consolidated Lazpiur in their position as a strategic supplier for this company, which has been Lazpiur's business partner on a number of occasions.
The other most significant part of the project has been headed up by Fraunhofer IWU, whichress. This centre forms a part of the largest European technological centre, with a total of 67 research units and sites with a total workforce of 24,000. The Fraunhofer IWU division alone boasts a workforce of more than 600.
This marks the first time Lazpiur and Fraunhofer Institut will work in collaboration. The success of this experience has opened the door toThe Basque company's CEO, Miguel Lazpiur, has attended, together with the forging toolings head of sales, Ainhoa Ondarra. Both were extremely grateful for the invitation of Fraunhofer's Director for them to visit the Chemnitz headquarters and they believe that "today's visit can open the door to a new stage in our collaboration within the technological sector which will help both parties remain at the cutting edge in terms of the latest forging tooling technological trends”.
It must also be taken into account that the Lazpiur tooling division holds a strong standing in Germany, the European country which dominates this sector. This project for Fraunhofer and Schuler, further demonstrates the Basque company's prestige in the market, in terms of the production of cold, warm and hot forging tooling.
Two years ago, Lazpiur was the only tooling manufacturer in the world to be invited to take part in the International Forging Congress held in Berlin. The same was the case at the Glasgow Congress held last year.
The toolings which Lazpiur produce stand out for their accuracy and cost savings they entail for their customers in manufacturing, which can be of special interest in the automotive sector.

Former New YorkThursday on federal corruption charges -- the second major political figure in the state to be banished to a long incarceration in less than two weeks.
The once-powerful politician and his son, Adam Skelos, were both found guilty in December of extortion, bribery and fraud.
U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood said to Skelos.
The judge then handed a harsher sentence to 33-year-old Adam Skelos: six years and six months in prison.
"Your enthusiasm for criminal schemes, including your bullying," the judge said to him, "and your use of burner phones, and your physical threats, were extreme."
Wood also recommended drug and alcohol treatment for the younger Skelos.
The judge fined Dean Skelos $500,000 and ordered him to forfeit more than $300,000 in ill-gotten payments. She ordered his son to forfeit $334,000.
Skelos and son declined to comment outside the courthouse and moved quickly to a waiting SUV as news reporters and photographers swarmed.
A woman reporter in the group told police she was jostled by a man who grabbed her cellphone and tossed it into the street. An officer subsequently charged Basil Skelos, 27, with third-degree assault, police said.
The elder Skelos said before sentencing that he was "deeply remorseful" about his actions.
"It has destroyed my reputation I worked so hard to earn," he said, "and terribly hurt my family."
Skelos asked the judge to show mercy toward his son.
Adam Skelos then told the court that he was embarrassed by his alleged criminal acts.
"I deeply regret what I have done," he said. "I was reckless. I was arrogant."
He then asked the judge for leniency for his 68-year-old father.
"When I was arrested with my dad, I watched the destruction of the man who always showed me unconditional love," he said, choking back tears.

Overall, Sontag’s essay argues for a new type of criticism: she calls for a shifting of the weight given to meaning and content back to the sensuous aspects of an artwork, back to what it is and how it does what it does. Though they continue to remain closely tethered (as I hope my thesis shows), there is a perceptible rift between art and science that I think has its roots in the same period where Sontag locates the origin of interpretation in art criticism. Interpretation has a role in that rift as well.
Allotelic interests have always regarded autotelic interests as a waste of time, particularly in a capitalist economy where only the most effective arsenal of productive tactics can prevail. Is it any wonder then that, for such imperial cynicism, science and poetry function within a relation, not of genre, but of power? The waxing influence of science has always implied the waning relevance of poetry—as if science must capitalize upon the competition for truth in order to monopolize the legitimation of truth (1998, p.18).
I am struck by the similarity of Sontag’s language to the “shadow photons” of David Deutsch and the “many interacting worlds” of Hall, Deckert, and Wiseman. These physicists, at the very brink of the tangible universe, have created parallel worlds to give meaning to a world that threatens to have no meaning. In the PBS documentary The Elegant Universe, string theorist Brian Greene nearly breaks down in the throes of describing the extra dimensions he so desperately defends, “the universe is not nonsensical, it’s got to make sense.” He expresses what seems to be the underlying preoccupation of science, that of interpretation—a perpetual hope for a stable explanation. Furthermore his gasp seems to body forth a condition of the thinking mind, namely its resistance to meaninglessness. It is not about what the universe is and how it does what it does but rather why and for what reason.
When our understanding of the world is so indebted to our technologies, and when those same technologies determine economic structures, how can art attempt to legitimate itself other than either as a rebellion against the norm or by adopting the language of science and capital literally and figuratively via an art market? Bök says, “in the face of such scientific absurdities, poetry has responded by portraying itself as a liberalized experiment" (1998, p.37). Art resorts to the very terms that science used to build its cultural pedestal—we now “experiment,” conduct “research,” and go for PhDs—one can actually be a doctor of art. Over fifty years after Sontag wrote these very words: “the idea that a work of art is primarily its content […] still exerts an extraordinary hegemony” (1964, p.2). If we read art as its meaning—exactly the way Sontag warned not to, then just as with science, the by-products of art (its form) are also its means of monetizing and hence legitimizing itself. In this future, scientists and artists will both be competent employees in the face of capitalism. Yet, in the age of innovation, science offers a seedbed of intellectual property that art will not outgrow.
Even so, it is hard to imagine a situation other than one in which thousands of researchers (three of whom are artists paired up with “inspiration partners”)[3] receive grants to build massive magnetic assemblages of silicon, copper and fiber optics at epically exciting and equally carcinogenic proportions and funding streams in from all over the globe in full confidence that by next year, or next decade those technologies will end up in the drooling jowls of the ever-savvy consumer. But maybe they will mate again and quantum anomalies can be sensuous instead of make sense. In that case, we still need to listen to Sontag. “In place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics” of art and science (1964, p.10), where the oscillating wavelengths of these two forces will create an interference pattern as strange and indecipherable as those generated in the double-slit experiments.
[1] Justification is no longer a matter of truth but a matter of exponentially growing numbers on a screen—the number of zeros behind the first particle collision, the number of zeros behind the first intellectual property patent filed at CERN and not least the number of zeros behind the venture capitalist’s first investment return, allowing for the purchase of a new artwork for the sole purpose of adding a zero to its worth and selling it to a friend, inspiring Pace to open a new gallery in Silicon Valley.
[2] The quantum mechanical experiments with photons led directly to the development of lasers – and the application of lasers now is hardly countable from laser surgery, DVDs and laser printing to nuclear fusion and the US Navy’s laser weapon system (LAWS). CERN’s portfolio of over 230 registered patents includes the unfathomably monetized World Wide Web.

The Pretzels arrived six minutes before the original game time against Guilford in the Rochelle tournament due to travel planning issues.
Freeport also had a buzzer-beating 3-pointer scored against it at the end of the first quarter for a tie and dealt with a scoreboard issue amid a critical 8-2 run in the third.
End result: Freeport still pulled ahead in its season opener, 75-61.
"I thought we played pretty well. You could tell it’s the first game of the season," said Austin Davis, who finished with a game-high 20 points, along with 14 rebounds, two assists and five blocks. "We’re still working some kinks out, but we got a good win."
Davis had a hot start, scoring 16 points from the post and perimeter in the first half and dominating the boards.
But a cut to Davis’ forearm put the senior out of the game about five minutes before halftime.
"It slowed me down a little bit. I didn’t get a chance to come back in the second quarter," Davis said. "I wouldn’t say it stopped my momentum. They did a better job guarding me in the second half."
Brandon Blakenship’s (team-high 19 points) two 3-pointers powered a 9-0 run by Guilford.
But shortly afterward, Freeport went on an 8-2 spurt just before the game was stopped because the scorekeepers updated the scores late during the run and had the Pretzels up 43-41.
The Vikings were actually up by that same margin.
"Things got crazy there for a little while," Davis said. "We fought hard, got through the distractions and still found a way to win."
Josh Lewis, Jalen Carroll (16 points, two blocks, two steals, 2 3FG) and Luke Norman played well on both ends of the floor to engineer a 21-point third quarter for Freeport.
Norman (13 points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals) cut to the bucket to tie the game 43-all, Lewis helped the Pretzels pull ahead to end the third quarter 52-48 and Carroll slashed and drew fouls while sacrificing his body on a few possessions to help Freeport on the defensive end.
"Coach told us that we needed to make changes and be aggressive attacking to the hoop and that’s what we did," said Lewis
Lewis
Davis and Lewis complimented Norman and Carroll’s play as starters for the Pretzels.
Freeport coach Jeff Lawfer was not worried much about how the two would play given their limited varsity experience.
"I wasn’t overly concerned with Luke Norman because he’s played a lot of basketball," Lawfer said. "He was on our sophomore team as a freshman, he travels the AAU circuit over the summer, so I wasn’t concerned.
"Jalen had a tremendous summer, playing about 30 games and I’m not so sure that he wasn’t our best player most of the time this summer.
"So I wasn’t concerned with it being their first varsity starts."
Freeport plays again today against Prospective Charters and Rochelle.

Here's some more energy and movement from the Weimar era......
It is in effect isn't it. You know I bleat on about finances, amortisation etc….well I'm going to again!
Agree with Spudski that RW is not best use of his skills, but right-sided forward, or a narrow right midfielder is a position he would suit nicely…
Hopefully thats unblocked the recruitment constipation!
Who does the pooper scooping ?
Tbf a lot of that could also be said about someone like Raheem Sterling but he does alright for himself.....
Haven`t he and his partner just had a new baby too?
You and me both!I feel 100% the same way about. We missed him loads, I will not moan again!
Are there really still people who think that "all he does is run around a lot"?

I started it with a pink tablecloth I had purchased at Bed, Bath and Beyond last year for our Easter celebration.
My dish stack started with some jadeite chargers I found it in an antique store on one of my first treasure hunts when I first started tablescaping. I LOVE their color and sheen.
The flatware is part of my International Silver set. The Pattern is Heritage and was passed on to me from my dear mother-in-law.
My centerpiece started with a crocheted doily that I found in an antique shop on a recent trip to Palm Spring, CA. I bought my ceramic bunny last year. I felt his sweet face and pink gingham tie was just what my table needed as part of this Spring table! He is flanked by some glass taper holders I found in Ventura, CA. When we go there I love to go to this shop whose proceeds go the Animal Rescue in the area. I ALWAYS make a purchase there for such a good cause. The salt and pepper shakers next to the bunny are Butterfly Meadow accent pieces.
As accents on my table, I added the creamer and sugar set that is part of my Butterfly Meadow collection, a glass bowl that was gifted to me by my Aunt, and a new glass divided platter that I had also found in Palm Springs. I plan to use it for a relish tray at family dinners.
I so enjoyed putting this tablescape together. It provided a diversion for me, and a sense that although our lives are disrupted right now, we do have some control over our surroundings. Please take care of yourselves and look forward to the near future when these days will just be in a history book somewhere. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
I will be joining Susan at for Tablescape Thursday. Please go to her site and enjoy all the tables!

Porpoise or Dolphin?
The dolphin, sometimes called a porpoise, is the state’s saltwater mammal. The species most commonly found in Daytona Beach waters is the Bottlenose dolphin. They are six to eight feet long, travel in groups and can often be seen from boats or the shore. Their skin is gray or black with a lighter underside. Sailors who spot them near their boats consider them a sign of good luck. They have no sense of smell but have a system of echolocation (like sonar) that directs them in their travels. They have a well-defined snout, keen eyesight, extraordinary hearing and can live to the age of thirty.

A MacBook Air – If you don't have a MacBook Air you can pick one up from here.
Optionally you might look into purchasing an Apple USB Ethernet cable as it will help when setting up the internet.
Thundertaking any of these steps is to back up your drive.
The MacBook Air that I am using is new and therefore I don't have much installed. The size of the recovery drive is showing as 16.7 gigabytes.
There are a number of different download options available. The version I installed was the Cinnamon 64-bit edition.
Insert the USB drive into one of the available slots in the MacBook Air.
Click here to download the Mac Linux USB Loader.
A license agreement will appear and you must click "agree" to continue.
A progress bar will appear and a message will appear stating that the USB drive has been created.
NormAs you can see from the image above I have three disks. One is the Apple SSD drive which comes with the MacBook Air. I also have the 8 GB USB drive which now has Linux Mint on it and another 8 GB USB drive used for storing the images for this article.
To create a partition for Linux Mint on the Apple SSD all you have to do is select the drive and click the "+" symbol under the disk layout.
If you are happy to continue click "Partition".
To boot into the live version of Linux Mint reboot your computer and hold down the "Alt" key.
W.
The installation is now fairly standard. Click the language to be used for installation purposes. If you feel like a challenge try Welsh (Cymraeg) otherwise I would select the one you are most comfortable with.
It is a good idea to have the MacBook Air plugged in during the installation and you must have at least 8.6 gigabytes of disk space. The internet connection is optional and for reasons I will explain later quite tricky to achieve.
Normally I recommend choosing the something else option and creating separate root, home and swap partitions but as Linux Mint 17 is going to be around for 5 years I chose the "Install Linux Mint alongside Mac OS X" option.
From within Linux Mint (not the live version, the installed version) open up the terminal window again (4th icon from left on the bottom panel).
Presthe file.
Reboot your computer and you should now have a new menu option called "Exit to Mac OSX". If you want to use Mac OSX select this option.
Normally you could get around this by connecting your computer via an ethernet cable but the MacBook Air doesn't have an ethernet port.
The required Broadcom drivers are available from the Linux Mint ISO downloaded earlier and so by loading the ISO as a CDRom it is possible to install them.
First of all boot into Mac OSX and then copy the Linux Mint ISO to a USB drive (just copy the ISO, don't use the loader).
Reboot into Linux Mint and copy the ISO from the USB drive to your home folder.
To do this click the file manager icon which is available on the bottom panel (5 from the left, looks like a folder).
Finally, open up the driver manager by clicking "Menu -> Administration -> Driver Manager".
If you have found any issues whilst following this guidtry to help solve them.
thanks for the tutorial, I run debian on my 15" macbookpro so it is pretty similar.
Linux Mint does not work on the Macbook air. Linux Mint 17.1 does not support the Macbook air's grahic drivers. I am going to see if updating to the 3.16 linux kernal will have some new drivers.
Thanks! Your wireless driver instructions worked perfectly on my macbook pro retina.
I like to test linux every few years. Mint seems cool. But screen text was rendered so poorly! And the trackpad wasn't very responsive (even after I adjusted the trackpad settings).
me too. Mint installer does not find OS X, although the disk manager can see the partition. It just does not recognize it as OS X.
That is odd. Is your OSX encrypted in any way?
Sorry for a late reply! This is probably because you could be running a beta OS X, or the installer just doesn't recognise the version as it could have come out later.
I installed linux mint as the only OS in my macair but I'm not able to set the boot loader. Can anyone help?
Thanks for the extensive tutorial.
Are you running this guide on a Macbook Air? This guide is specifically for that device.
The computer continue to work no problem, just the screen have the problem. Can't be a hardware problem, because it never happened before. I tried to restore backups, then a clear Yosemite install. Still, no good.
This doesn't work for sh!t. Your images don't match what I'm getting and once i get to the installer it can't find the mac os.

The field of machine learning — loosely defined as nonparametric statistical modeling — has become enormously successful over the past fifty years, partly by forgoing the parametric models familiar to statisticians. A consequence of this philosophy has been that these methods result in algebraically-complex models that provide little human-accessible insight into the workings of the model, or what it might say about the underlying processes generating the data. As these methods have been taken up in high-stakes decision making, demands to “x-ray the black box” have become more prevalent, resulting in a wide variety of approaches to understand what signal the model is capturing, or to provide explanations of individual predictions.
Unfortunately, many of these methods produce results that can lead to mistaken conclusions about the model, or the underlying processes, or both. This talk reviews two sources of error: distorting the covariate distribution beyond the range where the model performs well, and estimating structured surrogates using insufficient data. We show that many popular interpretation/explanation methods suffer from these, potentially resulting in mistaken conclusions or advice, and review the properties necessary to generate reliable explanation or interpretation.

Knowing why your PC adventures is a cracking way of understanding how he might act while delving dungeons. It is a dangerous profession after all and few – if any – individuals take it up for no good reason.
Sometimes writing a lengthy background for your PC is too much hassle. You might not be able to find the time or the inclination to be creative. Alternatively, it may be you suspect the PC may not survive the rigours of his chosen profession for very long and the effort of a long, involved background seems a waste. Deciding why he adventures, though, is a great way of getting quick insight into his character.
Accused: The PC has been accused of a serious crime (perhaps justly, perhaps unjustly). To escape their punishment (or to pay off a hefty fine) he now adventures. If the PC was wrongly accused, he may also be looking for revenge or the means to prove his innocence.
Bloodlust: The PC loves violence and meting out death to his enemies. The only way to do so legally is to adventure.
Glory: The PC has a burning desire to be famous; slaying monsters, exploring renowned deathtraps and protecting the innocents is an excellent way of achieving fame. He may alternatively seek to prove his worth to an specific organisation – perhaps an order of knighthood or a wizards’ guild – so that he might be welcomed into its august ranks.
Love: To prove his worth to his beloved, the PC is adventuring. He may be seeking unending wealth, renown or a certain object stipulated by his love.
Power: The PC desires to be powerful. PCs that adventure to accumulate power normally do so for some other (hopefully benign) reason.
Protect: Many PCs take up the adventuring life to keep the realm, faith or something else safe from monstrous incursions or other threat.
Rescue: The PC may be searching for a missing loved one. They may have simply disappeared one day or could have been taken during a raid by slavers, orcs or some other group.
Revenge: The PC has been wronged by someone and they adventure to gain the means or power to have their revenge.
Searching: Obsessed with a particular item – perhaps an artifact or holy relic – the PC quests to gain it for himself. Alternatively, the PC could be seeking forbidden knowledge, a lost, legendary locale and so on.
Thrill-Seeker: The PC was bored in his former life; adventuring provides the thrills he seeks.
Told To Go: The PC has been told to adventure by someone else – perhaps a local noble, religious leader or family member. He could even have been kicked out of home. Interestingly, this kind of adventurer might not actually want to be an adventurer and could dream of settling down some day.
Wanderlust: The PC wants to travel the wide world and see all there is to see. These PCs are wanderers and rarely stay in the same place for long.
The only one I’d add is “On the run”, which probably isn’t as common as the ones you list. A powerful family is the target of some nefarious group (rival house, political enemies, etc.) and is wiped out. The PC adventures out of necessity and attempts to becomes a faceless adventurer, with travelling to remote adventure sites keeping off the “grid” so to speak.
This is a great addition. I wish I’d thought of it, particularly as I had a player in my campaign use a similar background mechanic to explain why he had left home.
That’s a great addition. Thanks for adding it!
How about “Noblise oblige” obligations of the nobility, it possibly falls under ‘told to go’ as this is something like meeting the expectations of society but perhaps under the broader idea of Societal Demands (things society demands of us). Another idea could be Questing? though this could be back tracked to why is someone questing which may be more useful.
Hmmmm… perhaps you could ask the question of “What does a/the/their particular society demand of adventurers?” in a future column.
Noblesse oblige was exactly what I have been thinking about for my next campaign. My idea is to get back to the Feudal roots of D&D, where instead of heroes “outside” of the system, they are all members of wealthy families. I am thinking of creating the families and family trees, with open spots in them for the players to choose from. The local lord requests the families send forth one of their own to help the fiefdom deal with issues plaguing the land.
This may fall under “Searching” but then again, might deserve a category of its own… Family Birthrite. I had an new character introduced to the party and her motivation for joining the group was that she was looking for information on her missing brother and the haunted house that he was holed up in turned out to be her ruined family home. Her brother was the “Big Bad Guy” at the end of the mission. So essentially she was a great big walking plot-hook and the heir to the estates that the party was investigating and attempting to cleanse.
By that same token, I’ve often had characters who were either looking for family, or trying to prove themselves in some way, in order to claim their birthrite in some form or another. Whether it was trying to win parental approval, or to win leadership of their clan or tribe, or some other reason, being motivated by Family in some form or another is a fairly common theme.

The craziness surrounding futile efforts to overturn health reform via lawsuits reached a new crescendo in Georgia yesterday, when Republicans in the stateia Attorney General Thurbert Baker. You see, Baker (a Democrat) refused to join Republican Attorneys General who are launching a suit charging that federal health reform is unconstitutional. He argued (very accurately) that the suits have no chance of succeeding, and that pursuing them would be a waste of time and money. Republicans claim he’s required to file suit at the request of Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue.
By threatening impeachment on such transparently partisan grounds, GOPers are probably doing Baker a big favor: he’s running for governor, and has been trailing former Gov. Roy Barnes in the polls. In addition, there’s something a bit attention-grabbing about the spectacle of Republicans demanding that an African-American statewide official embrace neo-Confederate constitutional theories on “state’s rights” grounds.
As Eric Kleefield of TPM has noted, the “massive resistance” approach to health reform has already become a litmus test for conservative Republicans, right up there with criminalizing abortion and defending trust fund babies against “death taxes.” So get used to it; they just can’t help themselves any more.

BIM benefits you shouldn’t forget
BIM maintains dominance as the mode of operation for many building projects worldwide. Keep in mind these three reasons why using BIM is the way to go.
Tariq Kaddoura, September 10, 2018
Building Information Modeling (BIM) can trace its roots back to the 1970s, but the process didn’t gain significant traction until the early 2000s. While BIM has evolved and most architecture firms are using it, it isn’t fully required worldwide, despite the benefits it produces for project teams and the public. In the US, BIM has been mandatory on public projects since 2008, and it’s been recommended by the European Union on projects they fund. But certain countries are lagging behind. Despite widespread use, BIM won’t be mandatory in Germany until at least 2020.
We all know buildings are becoming more complicated as we incorporate modern systems and technology into designs. With BIM, complexities are simply easier to manage. The reasons architects, contractors, and developers choose to use BIM may be common sense at this point, especially for those of you out there who have been operating for 15-20 years. In case you need a refresher, though, here are some top benefits to keep in mind so you can use BIM effectively and build more successful projects.
Efficiency and productivity are buzzwords in any business setting. BIM can increase efficiency on a building project and make the design phase more productive in a variety of ways. For starters, BIM helps cut down on labor—both in terms of people and time. Traditional design and construction methods that don’t include BIM require a huge slate of employees and working hours to draw up and revise plans.
BIM brings together all of a building’s complex systems. When a small change to one system is required, models can automatically adjust, cutting out the need to spend time reworking plans for related systems. It’s ability to sequence steps with submodels can lead to a timelier construction process, too. BIM saves time because it makes collaboration easier (don’t worry, there’s more on this later) and timelier. Sharing files across project teams means fewer lengthy meetings, phone calls, and email exchanges.
Reduced labor needs and quicker timelines point to slimmer budgets, of course, and saving money is a big indicator of efficiency. Using BIM can help you save money in other ways as well. Modeling can eliminate expensive change orders that often pop up past the early design phase. It also leads tohat could reduce insurance costs down the line.
It may seem silly or unrealistic that a technological process like BIM can improve person-to-person relationships, but it’s true. Modeling creates an easily sharable chain of information and documentation. Without BIM, consultants, architects, and contractors tend to create separate drawings that fall in line with their own specification needs. Not only does this mean additional work for all stakeholders, but often, it means important details are missed or changed. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Fewer elements are lost in translation when a project team is working with BIM, as models can be saved, shared, and updated digitally in real time. Collaborators can easily check in on the progress of project elements with BIM files, meaning there is increased accountability amongst team members to do their jobs well, on time, and without interference. Historical documentation features also help when disagreements arise amongst collaborators. A detailed record of changes is saved automatically, so you can easily clear the air.
With BIM, teams can be on the same page, operating with mutual understanding of the goals, specifications, and changes to a project. Of course, no project team is perfect and problems will probably still arise, but using BIM is a good starting point that can inspire a more effective partnerships now and in the future.
The biggest benefits of BIM may right now. That may seem strange, but think about it for just a minute. If you use models in every project you do over the course of a single year, consider all the data you have just waiting to be used to inform your upcoming projects. You can replicate models or submodels, making quick adjustments to suit the new building’s needs or improve it.
Information modeling allows you to extend into other technological realms, too. At this point, BIM software can integrate with pretty much any other type you may need use on a project. Importantly, the big win here is with building simulation tools. Artificially intelligent platforms can utilize 2D and 3D models to yield design optimizations that will make your buildings more comfortable, cost-effective, and sustainable.
Ultimately, using BIM opens up the possibilities for enhancing your building project processes. So not only will your buildings improve, but your entire collaborative workflow will also.

There are two common classes of memory safety:
1. **Spatial memory safety** that guarantees that one can not get out of bounds of
the claimed memory blocks.
2. **Temporal memory safety** that
that has already been freed.
scala-offheap's typed off-heap classes and bounds-checked arrays provide the first
guarantee as long as you stay in typed world and don't use lower level parts of
the api: `malloc`, `addr/fromAddr`, `Memory`, `asInstanceOf` etc. It's possible to
disable bounds checks using `-Doffheap.unchecked.bounds` runtime flag.
At the moment we do not guarantee temporal safety by default.
It's possible to enable checked memory mode that provides temporal safety for region
allocations at expense of 1.6-2x slowdown of memory accesses and 65k limit on
the number of open regions at any given time.
Under this mode dereferencing of pointers to regions that has already been closed
throws `offheap.InaccessibleMemoryException`.
One can enable memory checked mode by passing `-Doffheap.checked.memory` to the JVM
that runs your scala-offheap application. The setting is global and applies to all
memory accesses in the application. This mode is only intended for
development and debugging and is not recommended for production use.
scala-offheap does provide basic dynamic checks that ensure that null pointers
are never dereferenced and appropriate `NullPointerException` is thrown.
It's possible to disable this checks by passing `-Doffheap.unchecked.null` flag to
the JVM that runs your application for minor (often insignificant) performance gain.
Null dereference with the check disabled is undefined behaviour. The setting is global.
All of the standard allocators in scala-offheap are thread-safe and can be safely
shared between multiple running threads.
Allocated objects on the other hand do not provide any guarantees in situations
when they are mutated from multiple threads. Therefore it's highly recommended to
never share mutable off-heap allocations between multiple threads.

Colonel Routh Goshen, the Middlebush Giant
I like this pic; it implies that he’s as big as a tree
Today is the birthday of Arthur James Caley, billed as Colonel Routh Goshen, the Middlebush Giant (1837-1889). While Middlebush sounds very English, and he may have been born in a village on the Isle of Man, the town he is named for is in New Jersey, where he retired. The “Routh Goshen” part, sounding very Old Testament was meant to imply a connection to Goliath, the ancient Philistine. His public bio said that he was Palestinian. The Isle of Man seems to be the more plausible and there is some documentation, and it is likely that he performed first in London, then Paris, before coming to New York’s Bowery, where P.T. Barnum discovered him. He stood anywhere from 7’4′ to 8’6″ (his boss was known to exaggerate such things). He once starred in a production of Jack, the Giant Killer with a cast of midgets.At the time of his death, Goushen had amassed $10,000 (a fortune in those days) and gone through three wives.

"I was in Palo Alto, one of the whitest places in California, and there we were, two black men walking down the street feeling very aware of our blackness," Luckie said. "We then walked past this theater showing [old] black-and-white movies and I thought, 'Hey why don't they show black movies?'"
"No slave movies, no maid movies, no civil rights movies and no blaxploitation movies," he said. "We want to see movies that are more accurate reflections. We want to see something that's reaffirming for the community rather than this twisted, funhouse mirror version of black life."
In the coming months, SouledOut Cinema will be traveling everywhere from to Baltimore to Oakland, New Orleans to Philadelphia. The tour, which will release names for the films when the tickets go on sale at each site and plans to have a more permanent presence in some cities, promises to provide audiences with an "experience you won't find anywhere else."
"It's all about the community experience and being in the room with people who love the film as much as you do," Luckie said. "Everyone loves these movies, it's just a much better and much more rewarding experience."

First post: Sep 15, 2019 Latest post: Nov 6, 2019
Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and love, covet your prayers for our family and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.
Our journey began in April 2018 but in so many ways the real walk began on August 6, 2019 when we entered the doors of Northside Hospital. Nathan was diagnosed with a malignant GIST tumor growing on the outside of his stomach. At the time of diagnosis the tumor was inoperable due to its size at 17 cm by 11.7. It was both large in size and touching the liver and pancreas. We began Gleevac (oral chemo) in May of 2018 to be taken daily until the time the tumor stopped shrinking and could be surgically removed. In June 2019 the tumor stopped shrinking and the plan for surgery began to remove the then now grapefruit size tumor from his stomach. The surgery took place on August 6 and was an enormous success. The tumor and approximately 40% of his lower stomach was removed and the stomach was removed from the duodenum and reattached to the lower intestine leaving a duodenal stump. We were released on August 14 to go home and continue to recover but were readmitted on August 17 when the duodenal stump began to leak bile. On August 21 an infection developed and a abdominal drain was inserted. On August 24 he experienced a large bleed from the celiac artery. He was abmitted to the ICU and received 4 blood transfusions. On August 26 (our anniversary) we were stable enough to return to our surgical floor. During the week he received two more transfusions to replace the blood he was now slowly losing until the bleed could be repaired or would completely clot on its own. On September 1 another bleed took place and the pseudoaneurysm on celiac artery was embolized and a coil placed in the vein feeding the artery. He was stable again and we were on the path to healing and recovery. On September 4 the discuss of discharge was made with a plan of heading home on September 6 but the evening before a flash of blood appeared in his abdominal drain and we were held. On September 5 he was treated for a blood infection and again on September 9 we made a plan to go home to be released on September 10. The evening of September 9 he spiked a fever and during scans on the 10th they found a large hematoma on his left side under the diaphragm and a pulmonary embolism in the bottom of his right lung. A IVC filter was placed on September 11 and a chest tube was inserted on September 13 to drain the hematoma and any infection contained within. On the evening of the 13th he was struggling to breathe and was transferred to the ICU were I am typing this note. He is currently being treated for mild sepsis and a grouping of pulmonary embolisms that are partially blocking blood flow to his right lung.
During this journey I am very aware that God is here with us, walks with us and carries one or both of us when we need it. The angels he has placed around us are visible, touchable and have delivered more blessings than we can count. The hedge of protection placed around Nathan has carried him through surgery, a leak, an infection, a drain, a bleed, 7 transfusions, another bleed, numerous scans and procedures, a blood infection, numerous pulmonary embolisms, a hematoma containing more than 2 liters of fluid and now this. We have seen God move every single time and now we need him to move in a mighty way. The complications journey we are on needs to end and we are asking for his complete healing and restoration with all the glory to God along the way.

Orion} to derive the methanol column density, given the main isotopologue (CH$_3$OH) is likely optically thick
(see Sect. \ref{sec:disc_mol_iso} for more explanations).
The total number of methanol displays a positive correlation with the bolometric luminosity.
The three sources (G203W2, G208E, and G209N1B) with lower limits in $L_\mathrm{bol}$\ and/or $N_\mathrm{tot}$\ (illustrated by arrows in Fig. \ref{fig:Number_Lbol}) are consistent with the trend as well.
\subsubsection{Sensitivity and Hot Corino Detection}
\label{sec:disc_rate_sensitivity}
We further plot the bolometric luminosity ($L_\mathrm{bol}$) and the bolometric temperature ($T_\mathrm{bol}$) adapted from \citet{2020Dutta_ALMASOP} in Fig.~\ref{fig:bol_ALMASOP}.
The bolometric luminosities of Class 0 hot corino sources are relatively high compared to the other Class 0 protostellar cores at similar bolometric temperature.
The two sources G203W2 and G208E with lower limits in their bolometric luminosity are consistent with this trend as well.
\gridline{\fig{bol_ALMASOP.pdf}{0.45\textwidth}{}}
\caption{\label{fig:bol_ALMASOP} Bolometric temperature ($T_\mathrm{bol}$) versus bolometric luminosity ($Lof protostellar cores.
The sample includes hot corino sources discovered in the ACA--only data \citep{Hsu2020_ALMASOP} and the combined data (this study) and the other Class 0/I protostellar cores imaged by ALMASOP.
Sources without photometric data points at 100 \micron~are illustrated by light colors.
The markers with arrows represent the lower limits of the sources lacking [70 --- 160] \micron~photometric data points.
G196A is excluded due to the lack of photometric data in IR band.
In \citet{Hsu2020_ALMASOP}, we reported the detection of four hot corino sources based on the presence of warm methanol with the ACA data of ALMASOP.
These hot corino sources in general have high bolometric luminosities ($\gtrsim$ 30 L$_\odot$; red asterisks in Fig.~\ref{fig:bol_ALMASOP} ).
In this study with the combined data, we detect warm methanol toward seven additional protostellar cores, which have intermediate luminosities ($\sim 10 - 30$ L$_\odot$; green dots in Fig. \ref{fig:bol_ALMASOP}).
The increase of detected hot corino sources may be mainly attributed to the sensitivity of the observations.
Since \citet{Hsu2020_ALMASOP} and this study use the same set of methanol transitions for detection, we can simply compare their sensitivities by the threshold in brightness temperature and the beam filling factor ($\eta$) defined by the FWHM of the source size ($\theta_\mathrm{S}$) and the HPBW of the synthesized beam ($\theta_\mathrm{A}$) via:
\eta = \frac{\theta_\mathrm{S}^2}{\theta_\mathrm{A}^2+\theta_\mathrm{S}^2}
The extent of the methanol component in ACA data is unresolved so the source size in ACA data is assumed to be as compact as that in the combined data.
The current threshold in brightness temperature is about 40 times higher than that of \citet{Hsu2020_ALMASOP}, which requires a higher molecular abundance for the detection.
In contrast, the beam filling factor of this study is about 30leading to much less beam dilution and much ease for the detection.
The combined effect results in an increased detection rate of warm methanol from 8\% in \citet{Hsu2020_ALMASOP} to 20\% in this work.
Based on the above premise, the number of detected hot corino sources and the detection rates may simply reflect the line sensitivity (for detecting COM emission) and its level as compared with the continuum sensitivity (for detecting protostellar cores) of the observations.
For the other Class 0 protostellar cores which have relatively low luminosities ($\sim 1 - 10$ L$_\odot$; blue crosses), their warm regions may be relatively small and hence their COM emission resulting from thermal desorption would be just too weak to be detected even with our combined data.
It is possible that we may find low--luminosity sources harboring COMs when observed with higher sensitivity observations.
An example is B335 \citep{2016Imai_B335}, a recently reported hot corino source with a relatively low luminosity \citep[$\sim$ 0.7 $L_\odot$\ at 100 pc, ][]{2015Evans_B335_luminosity} as compared to our hot corino sample.
Note that its bolometric luminosity will be rescaled to 1.9 $L_\odot$\ if the distance reported by \citet{2020Watson_B335_distance}, 164.5 pc, is adopted.
With deeper observations, there are indeed COM emissions detected in B335 \citep{2016Imai_B335}.
\input{tab_rate}
\subsubsection{Comparisons between ALMASOP and PEACHES}
\label{sec:disc_rate_PEACEHS}
We further compare the detection rate of warm methanol in ALMASOP with that found by PEACHES, which is a census of COMs conducted with ALMA toward embedded protostars in the Perseus cloud by \citet{2021Yang_PEACHES}.
As indicated in Table \ref{tab:COMs_rate}, the apparent detection rate of warm methanol in PEACHES is roughly 2.5 times higher than that in ALMASOP.
Here we discuss two factors affecting the detection rate of warm methanol:
\item \textit{Methanol line detection criteria}:
Since ALMASOP has a similar sensitivity to that of PEACHES, which is $\sim$ 0.5 K, the signal--to--noise ratio (SNR) threshold for a line detection in ALMASOP (5~$\sigma$) is higher than that (3~$\sigma$) in PEACHES.
A weak methanol detection in PEACHES may be considered as a non-detection in this study.
\item \textit{Sample selection}:
The sample selection of PEACHES follows \cite{2018Higuchi_survey_Perseus}, which excludes YSOs with $L_\mathrm{bol}<1~L_\odot$.
In ALMASOP, the hot corinos are the Class 0 protostellar cores with high luminosity. Applying the same sample selection method, the total number of protostellar cores in ALMASOP will decrease and the detection rate of hot corinos will increase correspondingly.
To clarify the influence of these two factors, we also append the hot corino candidates under the same line detection criteria and apply the same sample selection method as PEACHES.
We find nine additional Class 0/I protostellar cores where at least one methanol transition is detected at $3\sigma$ (see Table \ref{tab:candCoord} for the list).
Including those ``potential hot corinos'' and leaving out all sources fainter than 1 $L_\odot$\ in the parent sample for calculating the statistics, the detection rate of hot corinos in ALMASOP becomes 15 out of 37, which remains less than the value (28 out of 50) in PEACHES.
The distance difference between the two clouds may contribute to the small difference in the detection rate.

corner and separated from the people of the world with whom we share this planet and all its wonders and troubles.
Today, we are targets. And being a diplomat, an aid worker a Peace Corps Volunteers or a backpacking traveler to the Third World does not provide us with any protection.
The Islamist thugs who seized Northern Mali in April openly declare they are seeking to kidnap as many more European and American civilians as they can to extract ransom and concessions already worth close to $90 million. Increasingly the State Department issues travel warnings to places once thought open and free.
Or was he too much involved in Libya, speaking Arabic and widely acclaimed, to imagine that he could become a target? Was that why he ignored warnings by US security officials that said the Benghazi consulate was not safe?
So it was his decision alone to make that trip despite having told others he knew security was problematic.
Had he wanted, he could have taken us all prisoner, or worse.
This is the kind of life we lead when we join the diplomatic service or USAID or other international arms of the US government.
We accepted this risk and many others to get stories of American aid programs fixing schools, clinics, electricity and local government offices. Stories and photos showing what we had accomplished were printed in magazines and posted on websites.
For all of us the challenge is how to do business in the modern world where a reporter can be beheaded, hikers can be incarcerated as spies, aid workers can be shot, and the decent people who work with these foreigners can also be murdered for contact with foreign agents.
Among the imperfect and frustrating compromises we have made in adjusting to the modern use of murder to deal with rivals and diversity are:
We may also have to reign in our direct efforts to push American-style democracy on countries that are centuries behind in this activity. U.S. democracy assistance programs have been banned in Ethiopia, Russia and other countries where no responsible system of changing governments has any credibility. And even when the democracy advocates triumph, as in Ukraines Orange Revolution, the old guard came back in the next election and clamped down.
The greatest challenge diplomacy and aid faces in the coming decade is to defeat the assassins and mad bombers while not alienating the civilian. </s> Aha!

The restoration and conversion of what is thought to be the longest listed building in Britain, at a whopping quarter of a mile long, is reaching its final phase.
After standing empty for two decades, the magnificent Grade II Craig Dunain Hospital in Inverness, renamed Great Glen Hall, is now a series of unique properties with work due to be completed at the end of this year.
The huge undertaking is being carried out by Robertson Homes which has employed teams of master craftsmen to transform the building.
The exterior has been restored to its Victorian glory while the interior provides 30 apartments and 27 terraces and townhouses with views over Inverness and up to the Great Glen Way.
The first residents have moved in and only five homes remain for sale.
Working with Historic Scotland, the teams had to find innovative ways to create new spaces without damaging the fabric of the building.
Brian said: “We took the building back to its original stone walls and constructed individual timber frames for each apartment which then sit within the shell and are incredibly energy efficient.
“Some of the ceiling heights in the spaces are amazing – the tallest is more than four metres.
“We have had stonemasons working on the original 1864 sandstone, which all had to be repointed with lime mortar, and it was great to be able to use local firms to do the work.
“The biggest technical challenge was repairing the roofs on the two distinctive towers.
A specialist local firm was also employed to re-slate the vast expanse of roof, replace leadwork and introduce hidden ventilation under the eaves.
Robertson worked with nature conservation bodies to accommodate bats, kestrels and owls into the development.
Prices start at £295,000 for a three-bedroom terrace.

It’s not often that I use Cooking with Candi to promote something other than recipes or cooking tips. But this book is related to food and I loved reading it and all the stories within. Each story held my attention and gave me a new perspective on restaurants, cooks and products. I even look at street vendors with a completely different eye now. Food and the City is a book abouts–why they do it and how they do it.
I think that both foodies and non-foodies would enjoy this book. Ina Yalof has a way of telling her stories with such warmth that you don’t want the chapters to end. She introduced me to a whole new world of characters that are as real as you and me.
I always felt that if I were to graduate high school today I would pursue a career in food. I even think maybe I would have gone to culinary school and honed some talent there. However after reading this book I doubt that I would have lasted a single day in any kitchen in NYC! I have a whole new admiration and respect for everyone who works in this industry that we all take for granted, especially in NYC.

In past newsletters I offered a series of articles on the 'power of consciousness'. (By the way, all previous newsletters are available on the 'newsletter' page at my website - whyislife.com.) In this issue I'll be presenting the third segment of a series of articles on 'magick'.
My friend, Kyle O'Brien, and I are offering a seminar on the topic of 'Harnessing the Power of Thought' in Kitchener, ON. There'please phone to reserve your seat. See the details below.
Parts 1 and 2 of this article suggested that the awareness of magic was much greater in the past. The idea that human consciousness has an innate power - that our thoughts and intentions could actually produce concrete results - was much more widely accepted than it is today. We once understood that anyone could develop the skills to harness this power and become a very powerful magician.
However, western attitudes have been shifting dramatically over the past few centuries, as more people are looking past religiousstical bodies of knowledge such as the Tantra, the Qaballa, Taoist and Buddhist philosophies and those of indigenous/shamanic cultures all say much the same thing. They all testify to the power of consciousness, whether they refer to it as magic or not.
Mystical thought suggests that our physical reality is a product of our collective consciousness and that the totality of reality is the product of the totality of all consciousness, which could be regarded as The Source or 'God'. One could say that reality has been and is being created, from moment to moment, by consciousness. The total collective of all types or factions of consciousness is the 'creator'.
Further experiments have demonstrated the power of prayer, which one could view as a form of focused intent. Studies done recently in Washington DC had a large number of people praying and meditating over a period of several months with the intent of reducing the crime rate. It went down significantly. When the practice was discontinued, the crime rate returned to it's former highs.
Experiments at a quantum level have also strongly suggested that consciousness is a creative force. With declarations like the 'Uncertainty Principal', physicists are claiming that no experiment is completely objective. The will or the desired outcome of the person conducting the experiment must be regarded as a factor affecting the results of the experiment. Respected physicists such as Geoffrey Chew and David Bohm are lending more credence to the idea of the power of consciousness.
In many ways science is coming to understand what mystics have been saying all along. A quote from the Buddhist Dharmaphada sums up the mystical viewBe whoever you desire to be!

This wide field image was photographed with a hydrogen alpha filter which highlights the emission nebulosity Messier 8 and the surrounding area. The large bright area just below the center of the image is Messier 8. Messier 20 can be seen at the top of the image and another large area of emission nebulosity, which includes IC 4685, IC 1274, IC 1275 and NGC 6559 is at the left edge of the image.
Messier 8 can be found in the constellation of Sagittarius and is a wonderful summertime viewing object. Also known as “The Lagoon Nebula” and by its New General Catalogue designation of NGC 6523, Messier 8 is one of only two emission nebula which can be seen with the unaided eye under sufficiently dark skies in the northern latitudes. The other is Messier 42 in the constellation of Orion. Messier 8 can easily be seen with small telescopes or binoculars under moderately dark skies.
Messier 8 is a large area of ionized atomic hydrogen which is very bright in the hydrogen-alpha emission line spectra. Astronomers have determined that the main source of the ionization of much of the visible nebulosity of Messier 8 is the large binary star system 9 Sagittarii. The 9 Sagittarii system is comprised of two giant main sequence class O stars. Each of the stars is several hundred thousand times the brightness of our own Sun. Massive amounts of ultraviolet radiation emitted from the 9 Sagittarii system ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas clouds which in turn release photons which include strong hydrogen-alpha emission line emissions. Those emissions fall within the “red” area of the visual spectrum which accounts for the predominantly red or pink appearance of Messier 8 in color photographs. The 9 Sagittarii system can be seen in the images below as the bright star just to the left of the brightest area of the Messier 8 nebulosity.
The open cluster NGC 6530 can be seen at the center of the Messier 8 nebulosity.
Astronomers have estimated that the size of the Messier 8 nebulosity is about 110 x 50 light years and is somewhere between 4,000 and 6,000 light years distant. Messier 8 is believed to be a massive star forming region.
Messier 8 was first described by Giovanni Hodierna in 1654. It was latter added to Charles Messier’s famous catalogue as object number 8 1764.
Also captured at the top of the image is Messier 20, which has its own emission nebula component. Messier 20 has both emission nebula and reflection nebula components and is a spectacular red and blue object in color photographs. However, since this image was taken with a narrow bandwidth filter which only passes light near the wavelength of hydrogen alpha emissions [656 nanometers] the blue light from the reflection nebula component is blocked. The emission portion of Messier 20 is also believed to be an area where stars are presently being formed. Messier 20 has several areas of very prominent dark nebulosity.
IC 4685 is a portion of the area of bright nebulosity on the eastern side [left side of this image] of the Messier 8 area. A prominent feature of IC 4685 are the areas of dark nebulosity.
In addition to the wide field view, I have also posted 100% resolution crops of Messier 8, Messier 20 and IC 4685 below which nicely highlight the bright and dark areas of each object.
Exposure Information – 50 x 270 second exposures
Image Date – May 20, 2018
Equipment – Stellarvue SV70T with dedicated SFFR70 reducer/field flattener, ZWO ASI 1600MM-C camera, Baader 7.5nm hydrogen-alpha filter.
Processing – All image calibration, alignment and image stacking [integration] was performed with PixInsight. The LocalNormalization and the DrizzleIntegration tools were also implemented in the image integration process. The stacked image was stretched with the PixInsight HistogramTransformation tool and then saves as a 16 bit TIFF file for export to Photoshop. No noise reduction or sharpening processes were used in PixInsight.
I used a three-layer masking technique to help visualize the bright central portion of the nebula which would otherwise have been mostly featureless and pure white. I took an unstretched linear copy of the stacked image and layered it onto a moderately stretched copy using layer masking to allow visualization of the core area and most of the central area of the nebula. I then took that layered composite image and layered it onto a third stretched version [again using the layer masking technique] which had the core of M8 burned out but nicely showed the surrounding dim nebulosity. This final version is the composite of those three differently stretched versions. Lastly, I brought out more of the core contrast by using a high-pass filter set at 30 pixels which was used with a luminance mask allowing the high-pass filter to operate only on the bright central core area.
The images below are higher resolution versions. Click on each to see a larger image.

Likutey Moharan on "Avoiding Honor" touches upon just what happened at the end of this parsha, Parshat Beha'alotcha. "We are required to minimize our honor and maximize G-d's honor. For, one who pursues honor may attain kavod melachim (the glory of kings), but he cannot attain kevod Elokim (the glory of G-d). Of such a person it is written, "It is the glory of kings to inquire into a matter" (Proverbs 25:2) Everyone asks about him, "who is he and what is he?What has he done to deserve such honor?
The distrust and mistrust only continued as the concept of the land of Israel was greeted with skepticism. Demanding to put their eye on it, and seeing it so steeped within the realm of nature with it's bars and beaches, it's holiness contracted within it's physicality. Whatever was seen was exaggerated, the people were giants there, the fruit huge. It was implausible- beyond belief!
Looking back and reviewing things past, the conflict between Yosef and his brothers personifies that of the tzaddik emet (the true righteous one) who was on the level of kavod elokim and his brothers who were tzaddikim but on the level of kavod melachim. They were not able to perceive Yosef, in all of the material physicality Mashiach Ben Yosef represents. Therefore, they persecuted him, selling him into slavery. Any talent he may have had, like interpreting dreams, becoming the CEO of the biggest supermarket in the world, and just being able to give plain good advice, he ran away from honor and proclaimed G-d the true success for his success. Later, when the brothers realized their mistake and the full extent of their wrongdoing and the harm they had caused, they confessesed, "What can we say, how can we speak, and how can we justify ourselves?

College Republicans admire unification theme in State of the Union address, praise Trump’s first year in office
by Caroline Vakil | Jan 30, 2018 | Featured, Politics, SOTU2018
George Washington University students watching at a GW College Republicans watch party. (Caroline Vakil/MNS)
WASHINGTON — College Republicans praiTuesday and found relatable themes during Trump’s State of the Union address.
Allison Coukos, a senior and chair, said the theme of national unification resonated with her the most while watching the president’s address at a State of the Union watch party.
“When you see the Democrats – I’ve always understood there is a role for the opposition party, the minority party, but when you flat out refuse to work with the president, you’re not helping Americans, you’re trying to further your own political points,” Coukos said. “So when you have Trump coming in saying we need to focus on unification, we need to focus on the Americans first and foremost, politics aside, that’s I think the call of a leader.”
“He’s also done a really good job of mentioning the accomplishments of a lot of ordinary Americans. I’m actually really inspired by the way he’s forging forward together,” Ihrman said.
Many College Republicans agreed that one of Trump’s challenges was his rhetoric and handling of social media. Some were concerned that Trump’s tweets and controversial remarks would distract their fellow college Republicans from his actual accomplishments.
“With the tax plan, it’s looking like it’s finally cool again to be successful in this country.” According to Judah Waxelbaum, director of membership for “It’s finally starting to be incentivized to do business in America,”
The ASU freshman said Trump’s tax reform law has big implications for job creation in Arizona and nationwide.
“It’s a big deal for a college student like me to feel like there’s actually going to be job opportunities for me when I graduate,” he said. “For millennials a lot of us are in very steep student debt so the idea that we’ll actually be able to make money after graduation is a big deal.”
“The tax plan really helps in … cutting corporate tax rates down to 21 percent. I think that’s a huge factor. We’re seeing a lot of massive corporations – like Chrysler is actually moving an auto factory to Michigan sometime in the near future,” Zalamea said. “So many big companies bringing back jobs to the U.S. and that’s really what we need to bring wealth and bring back money to the American people and the American working class.”
Zalamea declined to say whetherthroughout the U.S. in 2017, according to a Gallup survey that tracked interviews conducted nationally through the year. Only 22 percent of adults between the ages of 18-34 approved Trump’s handling of the presidency, a NBC News/GenFoward study conducted in November said.
“The move for me personally being Jewish and a big supporter of Israel, the move to…recognize Jerusalem as the capital was very big symbolically and I think it will work out policywise as well,” the Duke student, who was concerned about others knowing his political views, said.

« Is the Big Society appealing? Now there's some stats
Voluntary sector 'ultras' gear up for post election campaigning »
Big Society Network founders share their passion for social action
The Big Society Network has been quiet since its launch on the same day as the Conservative Big Society plans, which then became the centrepiece of the Tory manifesto. The Network aims to be non-partisan, despite sharing a name, so it must be difficult to figure out how to promote their plans for a 15 million-strong mutual society to support social action wihout getting too caught up in the election fray. (background on the Network here)
Nat – now a consultant – explains how he quit his job to set up the Teach First project 10 years ago to help people become teachers in the inner city, and then goes on to say of the Network:
The idea that ordinary people with very little time, and often very little money, and with no power at all, can nonetheless together make extraordinary things happen and sustain them over the years – and benefit at the same time from doing so by being healthier, more positive about the future, less likely to be antisocial and get involved in crime, and feeling more in control of their lives.
“beta”,“ours”ng!). It is time to fight for the Big Society, for the right to act for our interests, whether governments and the powers that be want us to or not, and to fight for a world that is a little less cynical, a little more about doing stuff and not just talk, and one in which it is in everyone’s interest to contribute whatever they can however large or small and be part of something bigger. It’s time, in short, to fight for the right for ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
Paul Twivy recalls how isolated he felt when made redundant seven years ago, and how he went on to help organise The Big Lunch last year – “the biggest collection of street parties since the Golden Jubilee”. More and more people are living alone, and are isolated in different ways. He urges us to Make Isolation History:
We need to harness the power of broadband, the ubiquity of the mobile, the trust of the hand-written note, the instant power of a poster in the street, to learn real democracy again. We need to share and network like crazy.
I’m still not sure about the name though. What must have seemed a great shared brand a couple of months back when Tory hopes were high, may not useful if we get a Labour-LibDem post election pact, and a Conservative Party re-examining how much of an election asset Big Society proved on the doorstep. Either way, I hope Nat and Paul can lift the idea beyond the party politics, and engage with other potential allies in the field.

1 technique the in vivo invasion assay was combined with gene expression profiling using these amplification techniques. This technology has allowed.
ß-Actin Fluorescence In situ Hybridization.
MTLn3-GFP and MTLn3-ZBP1 cells were grown in
-modified Eagles2, and stored in 70% EtOH at 4°C. In situ hybridization for ß-actin mRNA was performed as described previously (23)
The cytoplasmic distribution of intensity distribution plots of MTLn3-ZBP1 normalized to control MTLn3 cells shows the differences in the ß-actin mRNA distribution between the two groups.
Microchemotaxis Chamber Assay.
A 48 was used to study the chemotactic response to EGF, following the manufacturers x20 objective, and all of the metastases in a section containing >5 cells were counted (10) udents t test was performed on the data setswo datasets (Tables 1
Genes Involved in Invasion.
To be collected in the in vivo invasion µm µm/min in vivo.
, based on the microarray analysis, many genes associated with motility are up-regulated in the invasive cells compared protrusion downstream effector, units),
and ß subunits of capping protein is increased. In addition, genes that antagonize capping protein function such as the type II ß-actin mRNA and functions to localize the mRNA to the leading edge of crawling cells. ß-actin mRNAs (Fig. 2A)
. ß-Actin mRNA localization is required for the generation of intrinsic and stable cell polarity that is characteristic of normal primary fibroblasts and epithelial cells. Disruption of ZBP1-mediated ß-actin mRNA targeting leads to cells without intrinsic cell polarity, i.e., cells that are more amoeboid (39)
. Loss of .
In addition, in this study we have identified a pattern of gene expression common to metastatic cell lines and tumors and the invasive population of cells in primary tumors (Table 2)
. This pattern of genes represents a potential invasion signature that may be common to all cells in the primary tumor of heightened metastatic potential. This suggests that the invasive population of cells has enhanced an expression pattern of a subset of genes that is characteristic of thecell lines and tumors. This is emphasized by the fact that the invasive subpopulation of cells collected carcinomas.ating.
Chemot protrusion sets cell direction and, therefore, defines chemotaxis, this step in complex, 49, 50, 51) and observed cancers.
ZBP1 in Metastasis.
ZBP1 is required for the targeting of responding to external chemotactic signals. This may account for the enhanced ß-actin mRNA targeting and2 tumors (Table 2)
. The ability of CRD-BP to induce tumor formation suggests additional roles for this family of RNA binding proteins in tumorigenesis beyond its demonstrated suppression of metastasis. One possible role is the ability of the CRD-BP to stabilize c-myc mRNA in cells in culture (59)
The results reported here indicate that ZBP1 is a "metastasis suppressor" and, together with mRNA targeting status and analysis of tumor cell polarity around blood vessels discussed above, might be used to predict the metastatic potential of mammary tumors.: Weigang Wang4461; Fax: 718-430-8996; E-mail: wgwang{at}aecom.yu.edu

Something incredible he Fast Track trial and its dastardly plan to starve our teenagers. And it went viral – as I write, the signatures stand at almost 20,000 people – and the numbers are still growing.
People are angry. Hurt. Incredulous that in 2019, kids can be starved in the name of ‘research’ld. Health professionals. Parents of teens who have died from eating disorders. Researchers. Paediatricians. Many people shared their experiences of dieting as a teenager and losing years of their lives from the eating disorder that ensued.
The trickle of interest in this trial has grown into a tsunami. And I am so incredibly ion. For everyone who cares about the welfare of these young people and for the rights of all kids in larger bodies, I want you to know that the collective roar of your voices is being heard. The pushback is happening, and I have absolute faith that change can happen from this!
The petition attracted the attention of journalist Kasey Edwards, who wrote this article about the Fast Track complaint. More media attention ensued, with this article appearing in kidspot. Bloggers wrote impassioned pieces, including these heartwrenching accounts from dad Steven Dunn, who lost his daughter to an eating disorder. The incredible fat activist Ragen Chastain also wrote about it. Another major Australian news outlet wrote an article slamming the trial.
People gathered together, rolled up their sleeves, and pitched in to help organise a protest. A Facebook group called “Stop The Fast Track Trial” was formed. People began writing more and more letters of(HREC) who approved the Fast Track. They also wrote to politicians and professional organisations, asking them to step in and help stop this madness. An extremely detailed complaint, which specified the extreme potential for harm, was prepared by a group of medical professionals, and was sent to the HREC, with 35 co-signatures.
Thleased their statement calling for the trial to be stopped, a phenomenal stance for a very conservative organisation.
Health At Every Size (HAES) Australia released a statement, also demanding a stop to the trial.
I can’t tell you how good it feels to have the concerns that have been raised by this protest validated by such big organisations. It feels like through this process, the voices of all of us will be heard. It might be a case of David vs Goliath, but power structures can be shaken. Change is possible.
Amidst this immense roar of protest, I sent in an appeal to the CEO of the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, Dr Michael Brydon, dutifully following the correct ‘procedures’ when a HREC complaint gets overruled. I then sent a letter of complaint to the Fast Track Trial’s funding body, the NH&MRC. The CEO, Professor Anne Kelso, also told me to bugger off, stating that she believed this trial is ‘high quality’ and that it ‘may provide a long term solution to the health issues’.
They like to publish meta-analyses which support their own opinions.
The conclusions of their research often conflict with what the data actually show.
They ignore the long-term failure of dieting.
Over the years, their weight loss interventions are getting more & more extreme.
“weight regain, and the subsequent regression in metabolic profiles to baseline levels, is common” (p767).
“provides support for the importance of dietary interventions as an essential component for managing childhood obesity” (p767).
In 2014, a group including many of the Fast Track researchers published another review, looking at whether or not tweaking macronutrients (ie, % of carbs, protein, or fat) had an impact on weight loss or metabolic outcomes in kids and teens. The data showed no evidence that tweaking macros did anything to improve on the kids’ dismal weight losses or secondary markers of health.
“At 24 ne”(p4).
That’s right – 2 years later, all of the kids had regained the weight. The investigators tried desperately to deflect attention from this fact, and focussed on how ‘early weight loss’ was a predictor of ’weight loss success.’ They ignored the experience of the majority of the teens, instead applauding the weight loss ‘success’ of the 7 kids who lost slightly more weight early on. But then ignored the fact that even those 7 kids were regaining weight!
Losing a lot of weight through dieting didn’t happen for the vast majority of kids. And the ‘successful’ kids are showing a FASTER RATE OF WEIGHT REGAIN.
The paper also ignored the huge number of kids who dropped out. Less than half of the teens came back after 2 years. I suspect that these were kids who had regained evee, developed disordered eating, or, in my fondest fantasy, met a non-diet dietitian and became empowered enough to sack the Fast Track team.
So I kept trawling through the other studies which were published from the RESIST kids dataset. And in a paper by – you guessed it – some of the same Fast Track researchers, I found some more information on the weight changes these kids had experienced. But for some reason, these were completely different from the numbers reported above. It reported that “After 6 months, 43 participants had lost weight (median loss 3.7kg), 11 remained weight stable, and 44 gained weight (median 4.9kg).” (p2121).
Curiouser and curiouser, right? Which numbers are correct? What on earth is going on here? I intend to follow up this riddle with a letter to the researchers. I invite anyone else who is interested to do the same. Here is Louise Baur’s email address.
It is difficult to have faith in this group of researcher’s conclusions, when they evidently don’t match the data.
It’s clear that calorie controlled dieting is totally ineffective for lasting weight loss or improved health. It is this high failure rate that has lead many researchers and health professionals to recommend much less invasive interventions, such as weight-neutral approaches, but for the Fast Trackers, the message seems to be: let’s go harder.
“Daily modest caloric restriction can be difficult to sustain and it may be very difficult to adhere to a VLED. Therefore, a viable alternative may be intermittent modified fasting, popularised as the 5:2 diet, which has gained recent media interest and celebrity endorsement.” (Gow et al, 2016, p5).
Words cannot express how awful it is to read the phrase ‘celebrity endorsement’ in a scientific journal. What’s next – “Beyonce’s maple syrup diet trial for adolescents”?
The Fast Track researchers have already run two pilot studies of starvation diets in teens. Neither have been published, but I found a poster presentation on one of them from the Asia-Pacific Conference on Clinical Nutrition, held in 2017. In this pilot (which wasn’t completed), 18 kids aged 12-17 were starved on a shakes-only diet (just 500 calories a day) for 3 months.. After this, the kids were allowed to ‘choose’ either an intermittent fasting diet or a ‘continuous calorie restriction’ diet, for another 3 months.
After 3 months, the average weight loss among 18 kids was 3.5kg. At 6 months, the average weight loss was 2.1kg, showing that the kids had already regained 1.4kg – the weight regain had already begun. Psychologically, their ‘restraint’ scores had also significantly increased. Restraint is an eating disorder symptom, indicative of a disordered relationship with food.
Is it??? Is it REALLY NEEDED.
So this is what’s justifying the Fast Track To Health experiment, in which 186 unsuspecting teens are going to be put through an intervention which has been shown to be just as useless as other weight loss diets in adults, and to lead to quick weight regain and an increase in disordered eating scores in their pilot study of teens.
High quality research, or a Fast Track to Hell?
True to form, the Fast Trackers have whipped up yet another meta-analysis to ‘prove’ that starving kids is actually 100% safe, and A Jolly Good Idea. This paper hasn’t been published yet butfor Eating Disorders (ICED) in New York. In their paper, the Fast Trackers claimed that if teens diet ‘under the supervision’ of hospital-based weight loss teams, dieting is actually completely safe and does not cause eating disorders!
To say that dieting is harmful unless it’s done by a team of ‘experts’ is breathtakingly arrogant. It’s like saying taking heroin is bad, but if a guy in a labcoat gives it to you, it’s totally legitimate. It smacks of ‘experts’ in a failed paradigm, desperate to hold onto a sense of legitimacy. The Fast Track researchers are narrative makers who are hell bent on re-writing the entire field of eating disorder knowledge. To which I say, no thank you.
Because there’s no actual paper for me to dissect, I can’t dive in and show you exactly how the team have come to this delusional conclusion that dieting is suddenly safe, but after trawling through their previous work, my bullsh*t radar is going off. I promise to bring you a detailed dissection once it’s published. People who heard the talk reported that the researchers said that although expert-supervised dieting is apparently very safe, it’s also important to ‘monitor’ eating disorder pathology during weight loss trials ‘to identify people who might be at risk’. Which they are also saying that there is not a risk from these interventions. Apparently, it is important to monitor the risk that does not exist. Let that sink in!
The Fast Track trial protocol is packed with eating disorder measurements. If they find that the kids have developed eating disorders from the starvation diets, that’s just sick making. But if they find that there was no increased risk (and we know they’ll do their damn diddly best to massage the stats until it looks safe as houses), then the results of the Fast Track trial will increase their credibility and allow them to push starvation regimes on even more teens.
The Fast Track trial has pulled back the veil to reveal the appalling lengths people will go to in order to ‘tackle’ childhood ob*sity. Folks in the ob*sity research world see people in larger bodies as an ‘epidemic’, little more than ticking time bombs for future health problems. Once you hold that world view, it’s easy to push the envelope further and further, until really extreme and unproven ‘treatments’ are seen as normal and reasonable.
But starving teenagers is just not ok. It’s not hard to see that. And as we have seen from this global protest, people are not going to put up with the terribly ineffective and harmful ‘treatments’ on offer.
The Fast Track trial is still going ahead, and it is imperative that we keep on pushing back. Please join our facebook group, and help us stop it!

Rachel Maddow. Dig those glasses, right?
As the Hollywood Reporter explains, Maddow, MSNBC news host, will be joining the CW superhero drama in the role of Vesper Fairchild. In the comics, Vesper Fairchild is a TV and radio news commentator who hooked up with Bruce Wayne. In the show, she’ll play a prominent critic of Batwoman, though there’s a catch: Maddow will be appearing voice only.
Notably, this isn’t the first time Fairchild has appeared in the CW-verse; in last year’s Elseworlds crossover, which also introduced Batwoman, it was revealed that Fairchild was once involved with Arrow.
Does anyone know of any superheroes who in their secret identities wear glasses and are members of the press? Rachel Maddow wears glasses and hosts a news show. I wonder....

For centuries, indigenous peoples have lived in the foothills and forests of the Rocky Mountains, hunting bison and other big game animals, fishing, and trapping. The area that is now Banff National Park was also a sacred place where medicines were gathered and healing sought in the natural hot springs.
After initial contact with Europeans in the 17th century, indigenous people started trading furs, hides and fresh meat with European settlers and explorers in the 18th century. With intimate knowledge of the rugged terrain, they were also invaluable guides to traders, explorers, railway and government surveyors, and missionaries.

Don Landry has watched, followed and worked around the Toronto Argonauts for most of his life and he was no different than the rest of us as we watched the roster swell with talent through free agency this year.
Big, established CFL names (Cam Judge, Cordarro Law, Charleston Hughes, Henoc Muamba, Eric Rogers, John White and Odell Willis to name a few) have met names with intriguing college/NFL experience (Kelly and Martavis Bryant and Kony Ealy, to name a few from the U.S.). It seems like whenever there’s been a big move to be made the Argos have put their stamp on it in the last year-plus.
“Things are kind of a blur,” Landre.
“I’m trying to remember what they did on Day 1 (of free agency), because they did stuff on Day 2 and then on Day 5. When you thought they were done, all of a sudden, Henoc Muamba has been signed by the Argos.
“There’s a buzz,” Butko said of the party that awaits the country on Dec. 12.
Look no further than the QB duo of Jeremiah Masoli and Dane Evans. Both are good enough to lead a team, but they’ll go into training camp pushing each other for the starting job and having each other’s backs as the season progresses.
“When you look at what good teams do and what what winners do in this league it’s have two great quarterbacks,” Butko said.
“I think regardless of who is you know QB 1a and who is QB 1b, you know after Week 1 of the season that these guys have each other’s backs. I did a podcast with with them a few months ago.
As Butko said, the entire East Division looks to be better as we come out of this extended off-season. If the Argos can fight their way up from the bottom of the division, we could have our first 416-905 Eastern Final in eight years. That’s something football fans in Ontario would eat up.

to visit the suet feeders multiple times per day. Our local Bewick's Wren (who refuses to pose for a photo!) has also been visiting the feeders very frequently.
Interestingly, American Goldfinch and House Finch numbers have been ridiculously low this winter. I'm not complaining - just a little confused.
A Varied Thrush forages in the back corner of our yard. Note how well he blends into the dark blue and orange of the decomposing leaves.
I'll leave you with a summary of my FeederWatch counts for the first half of the winter season. Not bad... </s> ETP4HPC - European R&D - News

D alliance with the major terrorist – which is Russia?
Terrorist acts after MH-17 – in Ukraine and western Europe – increased, such as attempts to conduct terrorist attacks. This will continue if the main driver behind terrorism, Russia, will not be named and fought. An alliance with Russia, officially for fighting Islamic terrorists is not a guarantee that such attacks will decrease, quite the opposite. Russia in its current shape is a terrorist state which will need more attacks, because this is the best measure how to prove the validity of its arguments, and to get politicians to the negotiation table. As some have argued, Russia (i.e. some affiliated terrorist groups) would also not shy away from launching a dirty bomb somewhere in Europe.
The economic collapse of Greece and the mass migration to Western Europe, in particular to Germany and Sweden, have shown that Eastern European countries are only accepted as partners in the EU if they consent to western – in these cases German – demands.
It is time for Eastern Europe to make a move, too.

We want to explore first the maximization of density in the cities we know, in the cities we live. What if Rotterdam sees a six-fold increase of its residential density?If we did that, Rotterdam´s density (3000 inhabitants per km2) would almost reach the density of Paris (20000 inhabitants per km2). How about increasing Chicago's density five times so as to reach Paris´ density?
On that score, we want to build a theoretical city of 1 million inhabitants and around 20000 inhabitants per km2. How would it look like?How can we design a city as compact, as dense, as diverse, as intense, as fertile, as productive, as agile, as possible?
In the past 10 years, The Why Factory has explored a wide array of approaches to the construction of the city (Biodivercity, Porosity, 3d Nature, 4minCity, Automated City, Vertical Village, Green Dream, Anarcity, Food City, Robotic City, Barbapapa, Egocity, Adaptive City, Absolute Leisure, World Wonders…
Can Maximum City satisfy the housing desires of all its residents?Can nature exist in Maximum City?Can a Maximum City feed itself?Can Maximum City be diverse while exploding a single agenda to the max.?How automated can Maximum City be?How porous, bio-diverse, healthy, accessible, entertaining, productive, automated, green or flexible can a city be while keeping a given population density?
Why a theoretical model?
Can we develop a research capable of mapping the interrelations among speed, mobility, biodiversity, food production, density, automatization, porosity, while challenging its compactness?What kind of future visions and images can this model generate?
What are the requirements of a city of 1 Million inhabitants?Can we quantify them?
In the applications program, the theoretical model cities are tested in real cities (Rotterdam, Chicago…

— 2 Timothy 4:16–18 (NIV84)
As we build families, I have discovered that some have been driven into a corner. There is no cause for celebration, but only sorrow. Their ‘prodigal’ has just begun his/her journey away from home. How can they celebrate family?
…
Years ago I was told, “When things are going well, watch out: the enemy is about to attack.” I appreciated the advice to remain vigilant, but I took it to an extreme so as not to enjoy the good times. So when times were good, I was preparing for them to fall apart. My focus was on the “what ifs” of life and not on the “what is’s”-32 (NIV84)
And what is sad is sometimes we carry the perspective of this latter disappointment into those times we are waiting on the promises of God. We have Tommy Smothers’ attitude, “God loves you more than me” approach to the Lord’s promises. We see others getting “blessed” and, well, we’re still struggling. I have even taught, “It is” in us, but somehow when my struggle is prolonged and the wait extended longer than say a friend’s, I start to wonder, “Does the Lord Love them more than me?— Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV84)
