John Frusciante's 1963-65 Fender Telecaster Custom
Bought sometime prior to Californication, and used on a few songs from that album – specifically "Easily" and "Scar Tissue" (only on the solo). It was also used on the band's 2002 album "By the Way", where John used this exact guitar to record one of their bigger hits, "Can't Stop".
I just played the slide on a Telecaster into my Fender Showman amp. My favorite slide guitarist is Snake Finger. His influence isn't evident on the song, but that's how I practice slide: from playing along with him and Jimmy Page. [Return Of The Prodigal Son, Guitar Player (UK), September 1999]
John's Telecaster features three-tone sunburst finish, rosewood fingerboard, white body binding, and white pickguard with a letter "F" embedded into it – the origin of which were not familiar with. If you know anything about this particular detail, be sure to leave a comment below. This guitar was made sometime in the 60s, during the pre-CBS period. In some older interview, John refers to the guitar as a '65 Telecaster, although more recently almost every source has it listed as a '63.
In an interview from 1999, John explained where he got the inspiration to use a Telecaster specifically on some of the songs.
It's similar to the kind of guitar that Syd Barrett used to play in Pink Floyd, and also similar to what Jimmy Page played in the Yardbirds, – those are two of my favorite guitarists. [Guitar World (USA), July 1999]
Just in case you're interested, Syd Barrett (the original member of Pink Floyd) played a 1962 Fender Esquire himself – a guitar that is almost identical to a Telecaster, except that it has only a single pickup, compared to two on the Tele. On the other side, Jimmy Page played a 1959 Fender Telecaster in the Yardbirds, a guitar that was given to him by Jeff Beck in 1966. You can read more about these guitars on Syd Barrett's and Jimmy Page's dedicated gear pages.
An important thing to say is that John had another almost identical Telecaster from 1967 as a backup during By The Way tour, which he ended up giving to Josh Klinghoffer after he himself joined Peppers.

It's can't be a 1963 tele cause the fretboard is a slab (the line is curved at the head between the rosewood and the maple, not straight like a veneer)! This tele has to be built between 59 and mid 62

You're right, I completely missed that. Will edit the info.
Tim Dummer
I believe it is the 1960 that my dad sold to Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan.
They featured it on their catalog cover and the rumor was the John Frusciante bought it while he was in town for a show.
Hi Tim. Do you recall your dad's guitar having that "F" on the pickguard? I will try to get in touch with Elderly, would be pretty cool to track it down. Cheers.

This guitar was purchased by Anthony Kiedis when Frusciante joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers again in 1998. According to Anthony, at that time, John didn't have a guitar of his own (all of his old guitars were either sold or lost in a fire that caught his house), but according to John himself, he did have his red Fender Jaguar. It is likely that what Anthony actually meant is that John […]
1966 Fender Jaguar (Under the Bridge)
This Fender Jaguar is undeniably best known for its appearance on 'Under the Bridge' video. The date of purchase is unfortunately unknown, but it is known that this was one of John's favorite guitars at the time – the one he'd use for practicing and fooling around in his room. John's Jaguar was finished in what's known as Sherwood green color and features two single-coil pickups, rosewood neck with white binding […]
1958 Fender Stratocaster (BSSM)
For the recording of Blood Sugar Sex Magik, John used what was apparently a late 50s sunburst Stratocaster. However, there are some issues with this, because for that to be true, the guitar had to have had a maple neck, because rosewood necks were introduced only in May 1959. And, since we have a pretty good insight into what guitars he used on the album (see documentary Funky Monks), we know that none […]
This was Frusciante's main Stratocaster around the time of the release of 'Mother's Milk album'. It was seen on numerous occasions around that time, predominantly in 1989, but possibly also in 1990. Just to name a few, John played it at a gig at Dam Square, Amsterdam, on August 26, 1989, at Pinkpop in the Netherlands on June 4, 1990, and it was seen in the music video for the song 'Knock Me […]
Ibanez RG760
John used a couple of different Ibanez guitars early on in Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1988 and 1989. The best-known one is the guitar featured on most of the photos that come up when you Google "John Frusciante Ibanez" – featuring a ton of stickers and hand-writings on the body. Based on the time when he used, the theme of the stickers, and the fact that the guitar was red – we're […]
1962 Fender Jaguar (Red)
From 1994 to around 1997 John seems to have lost nearly all of his instruments in a fire that caught his house, and those few that survived were probably sold for money since John was having drug problems at the time. Furthermore, Anthony Kiedis notes in his book 'Scar Tissue' that John had no guitar to his name when he joined the band again in 1998, although according to an […]
1986/87 Kramer Pacer Custom II
This was the only guitar that John had with him when he first joined the Red Hot Chili Peppers back in 1988. He only used it for a few gigs with the Peppers [Red Hot Chili Peppers John Anson Ford Theater October 8, 1988], and for some of the early gigs with HATE (sideband project with Flea). This particular guitar is somewhat of a mystery. What we do know is that the guitar had a […]
To our knowledge, John was seen playing this guitar only on one occasion – at Shafer Court, Virginia Commonwealth University on April 14, 1989. Most likely the guitar was a backup for John's main Ibanez, model RG760, and that he used it for that purpose more than just once. Also, given that the photo below was taken around the same time that the band was working on 'Mother's Milk', it is possible […]
1961 Fender Stratocaster (Fiesta Red)
This is one of the guitars John bought just prior to Stadium Arcadium, most likely to have something on hands available as a backup for his 1962 Stratocaster. This Stratocaster was made in 1961, and features fiesta red finish and a rosewood fretboard. The pickups in it are most likely original, although there's a possibility that John replaced them with Seymour Duncan SSL-1s like in his two main Strats. John used this guitar quite a lot during […]
1959 Fender Stratocaster (Fretless)
John used this guitar occasionally on tour in 2005/2006 [Red Hot Chili Peppers – Live La Cigale 2006]. At that point in time, the Strat was most likely completely stock and featured a fixed tremolo bridge. Sometime in mid to late 2006, John decided to mod the guitar and replace the original neck with a fretless one. The reason that might have led John to choose this exact guitar to be […] |

10 Definitive Tips for Death Stranding
February 1, 2020 by Gustavo Caperutto Da Mota
Hideo Kojima's new creation has finally hit the shelves, and many players all around the world are confused about its mechanics. The game isn't complex or too hard – it is just different. The uncanny approach to gaming elements presented in Death Stranding is a new experience, and we have 10 essential tips for you to enjoy it as much as possible.
These tips come from 60+ hours playing and finishing the game, just so you can have the best informed tips on Death Stranding. We won't be leaving you stranded – pun totally intended. Also, there are no story spoilers below, so read away!
1 – Skip the Sidequests in Chapter 2
Death Stranding – Story
This is the best tip you need for the very beginning of the game, and let me tell you why – without hitting spoilers area, of course.
Death Stranding has gotten some bad reviews, and almost all of them specify the main problem with the game: the pacing. Most reviewers say the pacing is painfully slow, with the game dragging you around from the start in a slug-like rhythm.
The thing is, while the Prologue and Chapter 1 are considerably well-paced, Chapter 2 opens a wide door of sidequests for you to complete. And if you enjoy doing every possible sidequest before going on with the main story, you are in for a real pickle, because there are just too many to be done at a small, but rock and BT-laden map area.
Players who have undertaken the mission of doing all the sidequests as soon as they get available report spending 20 taxing hours while trying to make Sam go from one place to another with very basic supplies and tools. And the reward? They are plain, not really game-changing stuff at all.
So your best bet is to avoid all sidequests in Chapter 2 – you won't miss story by doing so – and to return to them after you upgrade your gear through Chapter 3 and beyond. You will have a way better time with the game by doing so, trust me.
2 – Sort Your Backpack Automatically and Hold Tight
If all you see is Sam tripping over pretty much everything, it's possible that your backpack is misaligned, making him lose balance and stamina easily. You don't want to be a constant condition, as it can severely kill the enjoyment with Death Stranding as a whole.
The game offers various options for you to position the cases and boxes you are lugging around, and if you wish to, you can choose exactly where which one should lay. That does get old quickly, as the number of deliveries pile up and you don't really feel like going Tetris with your goods every single time.
What's the solution? Just press triangle in the Backpack sorting screen, and there you go. The game optimizes the position of all goods Sam is carrying. That alone is a great deal by itself, but you achieve full stability by combining it with holding the shoulder buttons through most of the game. In doing so, Sam holds tight to his cargo and won't ever fall – unless you go crazy off cliffs, but that's on you!
3 – Watchtowers All Around
Death Stranding – Graphics
In the beginnings of Death Stranding, you will eventually unlock your first construction parts and blueprints. Among them, you'll see Watchtowers, huge pillar-like structures that allow you to observe and zoom far and away in the map – and it might seem as if that's their only use. Actually, it is much more useful than just a pair of binoculars.
When observing the area around the watchtower, it will pinpoint the exact location of lost cargo, collectibles, enemies and signs – and all of these will keep on showing as tagged even after you leave the watchtower. It works in the ways of a radar of basically everything you need to know about the area. Neat!
4 – It's All in the Connections
Don't stay stranded – that is the message Kojima wishes the game can transmit to people, and it has a serious in-game impact. You will have the chance of "meeting" other players throughout the game and the option to get linked to them will appear.
Do it, to as many players possible, since that ensures you will see their structures and equipment more often in your map. Not only that, but they can also give you a hand from beyond while in dire straits.
Besides, whenever you create bridges, watchtowers and others, your structures will appear in somebody else's maps and they can use it all. And while using it, they will send Likes your way. Believe me: even if Likes have no real effect on gameplay itself, you will start looking for opportunities to help people more as you receive more and more Likes. In my experience, Death Stranding usage of Likes made the game feel much more rewarding to me as a person. And heck, in the end, everyone wins!
5 – Sprint Away from Angry BTs
Death Stranding – Open World Gameplay
Eventually, the game will offer you one or two things to fight off the mysterious entities known as BTs, but that takes almost half of the story to happen. Then how should you deal with them, when you go way too far inside a BT area and suddenly there's black tar floating everywhere?
You get the heck away from there, that's what you do! As soon as you are caught in the tar ocean, scan around (and the in-menu map) for the closest spot unaffected by tar and run towards it like there's no tomorrow (there might not be, if the black octopus thing gets a hold of you!).
You will have to shake your way through grabbing arms, but if you can make it outside the dark liquid area, you are free to go. The BTs will simply call it a day and disappear, which is perfect in a game that has you avoiding any conflict.
6 – Don't Kill
The world of Death Stranding has some very severe rules regarding death. To not spoil the story, let's just say you will have chances to kill enemies, and it may seem like a good idea to get rid of them for good by making them eat a few bullets, but don't do it. Stun them instead. You can't kill anyone by punching, so go nuts with it.
The reason you need to avoid killing others in Death Stranding is also somewhat tied to the game story and won't be clearly mentioned here, but I can at least say that you will regret it, as the situation you have after killing someone is pretty bothersome and may stall your gameplay for quite some time, depending on where the corpses are.
7 – Enjoy Others' Generosity with Shared Lockers
Death Stranding – Bike Transport
Whenever Sam reaches a delivery terminal, many options will be shown to you. One of them that is often overlooked is the Shared Locker. It is a stock of items, gear and materials that have been left behind by other players as donations to anyone who wants to get them.
Before you take on creating a new pair of boots, or withdraw the material reserves the delivery hub has, give the shared locker a check. Chances are you will find items you hadn't even known you'd need and more. And whenever you have surplus goods, drop them at shared lockers for some Likes and that good feeling of helping others.
8 -Tilt that Map when Planning Routes
Allow me to share a tale of when I was in Chapter 1 of the game. I had to deliver a load of cargo to a place which seemed to be easy to get to at a first glance at the map. So I traced the route in an almost straight path, confident I'd get there with no troubles.
As it turns out, that was one of my worst experiences, because the area was a rocky mountain with sharp, pointy spots everywhere. I could have just gone around it, if I had known about the topography of the place.
Guess what? There is a way to check the topography, but the game doesn't tell you so in a clear tutorial. When you are on the map screen, press and hold the touchpad of the controller and tilt it up and down to see the area from different angles – which will show you exactly what crevices and hills you'll have to face, thus allowing you to plan your route better.
9 – Learn the Lore of Death Stranding through the Database
Hideo Kojima has a knack for creating games that are rich in story, with meaningful characters and events that can deeply affect the enjoyment of traversing the wacky worlds he comes up with.
Death Stranding is no stranger to that notion – maybe it's the most familiar with it, since everything is just so strange and unknown. It is a game like no other ever made, so learning about its lore can solve doubts about every element the game throws at you and give a reason as to why things are the way they are.
That's where the Database shnes. An option from the terminals in resting grounds or even from the regular menu, the Database collects all the info you need to know about the plot. Sure, the texts are long, but the Death Stranding has a ton of available languages for you to pick and make the reading more enjoyable. And many messages you receive through the E-Mail database can make you smile, as they make the NPCs feel more layered and human.
10 – Take It Easy
Death Stranding is massive. In the first minutes alone, you are presented with a plethora of info and statistics when you complete your first delivery and that has a high chance of overwhelming you. Very often, it may feel like there is too much to take in at once.
What the game doesn't tell you is that you don't really need to understand it 100% in its initial moments. At first, I panicked because I couldn't get what the statistics meant and if they were showing me something I had to know in order to play better – but then I just let the game follow its course and noticed I was learning more and more about the systems involved in Death Stranding, naturally.
So it is not a good idea to try and stress over statistics and what's what – game design in Death Stranding is solid, and will guide you to enjoy the experience in its fullest if you allow it to.
Except for those Chapter 2 sidequests, of course!

Inspirational Quotations on Pregnancy
If Nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternately, there would never be more than three in a family.
—Laurence Housman (1865–1959) English Novelist, Dramatist, Illustrator
I begin to love this creature,
and to anticipate her birth
as a fresh twist to a knot,
which I do not wish to untie
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–97) English Writer, Feminist
By far the most common craving of pregnant women is not to be pregnant.

If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
—Florynce Kennedy (1916–2000) American Lawyer, Civil Rights Leader, Feminist, Activist
Back in the days when men were hunters and chest beaters and women spent their whole lives worrying about pregnancy or dying in childbirth, they often had to be taken against their will. Men complained that women were cold, unresponsive, frigid. They wanted their women wanton. They wanted their women wild. Now women were finally learning to be wanton and wild—and what happened?. The men wilted.

A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside… when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone
These wretched babies don't come until they are ready.
—Queen Elizabeth II (b.1926) Queen of United Kingdom
Every woman while she would be ready to die of shame if surprised in the act of generation, nonetheless carries her pregnancy without a trace of shame and indeed with a kind of pride. The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.
—Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) German Philosopher
Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch

Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped
—Sam Levenson (1911–80) American Humorist, Writer, TV Personality, Journalist
If men were equally at risk from this condition—if they knew their bellies might swell as if they were suffering from end-stage cirrhosis, that they would have to go nearly a year without a stiff drink, a cigarette, or even an aspirin, that they would be subject to fainting spells and unable to fight their way onto commuter trains—then I am sure that pregnancy would be classified as a sexually transmitted disease and abortions would be no more controversial than emergency appendectomies.
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b.1941) American Social Critic, Essayist
If men were equally at risk from this condition – if they knew their bellies might swell as if they were suffering from end-stage cirrhosis, that they would have to go nearly a year without a stiff drink, a cigarette, or even an aspirin, that they would be subject to fainting spells and unable to fight their way onto commuter trains – then I am sure that pregnancy would be classified as a sexually transmitted disease and abortions would be no more controversial than emergency appendectomies

Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do

There is no friendship, no love, like that of a mother for her child.
—Henry Ward Beecher (1813–87) American Clergyman, Writer
With every rising of the sun, Think of your life as just begun. The past has shrived and buried deep All yesterdays; there let them sleep.

—Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919) American Poet, Journalist
Love and pregnancy and riding on a camel cannot be hid
—Arabic Proverb
Pregnancy seemed like a tremendous abdication of control. Something growing inside you which would eventually usurp your life.

—Oliver Goldsmith (1730–74) Irish Novelist, Playwright, Poet
No language can express the power and beauty and heroism and majesty of a mother's love. It shrinks not where man cowers, and grows stronger where man faints, and over the wastes of worldly fortune sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star in heaven.

—Mao Zedong (1893–1976) Chinese Statesman
Over the last decade or so 'wars' have been proclaimed, in turn, on teen pregnancy, dropping out, drugs, and most recently violence. The trouble with such campaigns, though, is that they come too late, after the targeted problem has reached epidemic proportions and taken firm root in the lives of the young. They are crisis intervention, the equivalent of solving a problem by sending an ambulance to the rescue rather than giving an inoculation that would ward off the disease in the first place. Instead of more such 'wars,' what we need is to follow the logic of prevention, offering our children the skills for facing life that will increase their chances of avoiding any and all of these fates
—Daniel Goleman (b.1946) American Psychologist, Author, Science Journalist
There's only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.
—Common Proverb
Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born

It is said that the present is pregnant with the future
—Voltaire (1694–1778) French Philosopher, Author
A ship under sail and a big-bellied woman, Are the handsomest two things that can be seen common
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–90) American Political Leader, Inventor, Diplomat
Most of a modest woman's life was spent, after all, in denying what, in one day at least of every year, was made obvious.
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) English Novelist
Because they've either conveniently forgotten with time or they're trying to be supportive, most mothers won't tell you how hard pregnancy (and then childbirth) can be. Let me tell you, it is. It's brutal sometimes! But, if I did it, ANYONE can do it. I mean, I always knew I was meant to do something really BIG in life, and now I know that this was it. Screw winning an Academy Award someday … I GAVE BIRTH
—Jenny McCarthy (b.1972) American Actor, Comedian, Model, Author, Activist
Being pregnant is an occupational hazard of being a wife.

Netflix sued for using a statue of a demon god in 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'
Priyansha
Netflix and Warner Bros. have been sued $150 million by The Satanic Temple for copyright infringement, trademark violation, and causing injury to business reputation, according to a Thursday court filing in a New York district court.
Amidst the entire controversy is "an androgynous goat-headed deity," as described by the court document also known as Baphomet. A deity the Templars were falsely accused of worshiping, which featured in 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,' first released on October 26 by Netflix.
The Satanic Temple alleged that the statue (depicting two children looking up at a goat-headed deity) in Netflix's show has good resemblance with its real-life Baphomet monument that was made famous in 2014 by a campaign on Indiegogo. The statue, which now resides in Detroit after multiple protests, was originally intended to be installed next to the Ten Commandments at the Oklahoma State Capitol.
Lucien Greaves, The Satanic Temple co-founder said the Baphomet monument has for ages become a central icon representing his people [satanists]
"A lot of people who haven't heard of us first stand to just recognize that monument as the 'Sabrina' monument," Greaves said. That "dilutes and denigrates the entire project."
The temple alleges that Netflix and Warner Bros. "misappropriated" the statue in various ways by "implying that the monument stands for evil." The group is also requesting that the defendants be blocked from distributing the show, which it's "evil antagonists engage in cannibalism and forced-worship of a patriarchal deity," it claims.
Baphomet as represented in "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" claims that the members of The Satanic Temple are associated with "evil antagonists." The show's characters were engaged in necromancy, cannibalism, torture, murder and among other despicable activities.
The organization rather claimed it "does not promote evil," but rather upholds morals that negate suffering. The Satanic Temple said it regards Satan as a "rebel against God's authority, rather than an evil being."
The group announced it had earlier asked for the removal of the statue from the series when it became aware before the release, but the defendants – Netflix and Warner Bros. didn't respond.
"We're so inundated with this anti-Satan fiction that a lot of people think it's superfluous to pursue to a claim like this at all," said Greaves
The temple is asking for $50 million in damages for each of the three count charges: trademark violation, injury to business reputation and copyright infringement, with claims that the artwork is copyrighted.

Mob Mondays – Five True Mob Stories Behind American Gangster
Posted by Ashleen Wicklow
On the next Mob Monday, American Gangster airs at 6:30/5:30c, followed by an all-new episode of The Making of the Mob: New York at 10/9c. The critically-acclaimed film, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, follows the rise and fall of drug kingpin Frank Lucas as he takes control of organized crime in Harlem. Which characters are based on real people? Did a coat really help bring down a mob icon? Read on to discover five true mob stories behind American Gangster:
1. Denzel Washington's character, Frank Lucas, is based on the real-life New York mobster.
American Gangster is based on the criminal career of Frank Lucas, a real-life drug lord who rose from humble North Carolina beginnings to build a criminal empire in Harlem by smuggling heroin into the United States during the Vietnam War. Detective Richie Roberts, played by Russell Crowe, was also a real figure who had a hand in taking down Lucas' crime ring.
2. Frank Lucas really shipped heroin into the United States inside soldiers' coffins.
In the film, Denzel Washington's character ships potent "Blue Magic" heroin from Thailand inside the coffins of soldiers who were killed in action in Vietnam. In a New York magazine article entitled "The Return of Superfly," the real Frank Lucas admits to building his drug empire by importing heroin from overseas: "We did it, all right… Who the hell is gonna look in a dead soldier's coffin?"
3. Frank Lucas actually recruited members of his family from North Carolina to build his gang.
In the film, Frank Lucas enlists his five brothers from North Carolina to be lieutenants in his gang. The real Frank Lucas admitted this part of the movie was true, saying he trusted his country-grown brethren over city folk: "A country boy, you can give him any amount of money. His wife and kids might be hungry, but he'll never touch your stuff until he checks with you. City boys ain't like that. A city boy will take your last dime, look you in the face, and swear he ain't got it."
4. Frank Lucas really shot a rival drug dealer in public.
In American Gangster, Frank Lucas shoots a rival drug dealer in broad daylight in the middle of a crowded sidewalk. The real Frank Lucas admitted to doing the same (he later recanted the story), though in his original telling, his brothers weren't around, and he didn't return to a eating a meal with them just steps away from the murder scene.
5. A chinchilla coat really did help bring Frank Lucas down.
In the film, Detective Richie Roberts suspects Frank Lucas is the criminal kingpin he's been looking for after Lucas wears a fur coat to a boxing match. In reality, Frank Lucas attended the Frazier vs. Ali fight on March 8, 1971 in a coat made from chinchilla fur. While the real Richie Roberts contends law enforcement knew about Lucas before the fight, he acknowledges that Lucas' flamboyant outfit definitely put him squarely on the detectives' radar.

The first game back from the holidays for the Lady Indians basketball team wasn't the best with a 71-19 blow out by Lancaster last Tuesday. The rebounded for a 39-14 win at Colonial Beach on Thursday. The fear of bad weather cancelled Saturday's visit from Northampton.
Both contests were on the road with Lancaster pouring it on in front of their fans. Tanaya Seldon and Breanna Davis scored four points. Thursday's game matched two teams that fought for the district lead just a couple of years back. This season they are fighting to stay out of the basement. Senior Zaire Jackson led the Indians with her best night this season. She scored 16 points, grabbed eight rebounds, had five steals and three assists.

Individual Americans worldwide may be constrained by FATCA to report all their offshore money and pay U.S. tax on all their worldwide income. But U.S. companies where the real money is have a better deal. And their offshore cash hoard is growing. Eight of the biggest U.S. technology companies added $69 billion to their offshore profits, a total stash of $2.1 trillion that avoids taxes. Everyone knows why, too.
Bloomberg News counts Microsoft, Apple, Google and five others account for over a fifth of the $2.10 trillion U.S. companies keep abroad. Last year, a study called Offshore Shell Games from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund and Citizens For Tax Justice says over 70% of Fortune 500 companies use offshore tax havens. And the offshore cash is concentrated too.
30 top companies own 62% of the cash, $1.2 trillion in tax havens. As long as they keep it squirreled away offshore, it's tax-protected. Meanwhile, individuals are paying up to 39.6% in federal tax (not to mention FBARs and Form 8938). Individuals must declare their worldwide income on their taxes. Individuals may even be attributed offshore income that isn't distributed to them.
At least 362 Fortune 500 companies operate over 7,500 subsidiaries in tax haven jurisdictions. The 30 companies with the most money offshore have 1,357 tax haven subsidiaries.
About 64% of the companies have their shelter subsidiaries in Bermuda or the Cayman Islands. The "profits" the companies claim they earn there? 1,643% of Bermuda's and 1,600% of Caymans' entire yearly economic output! Think the U.S. is getting a raw deal?
The 30 companies with the most money offshore holds almost $1.2 trillion overseas, a whopping 62% of what all Fortune 500 companies have.
55 companies disclose the U.S. taxes they would pay without the offshore gambit: $147.5 billion in taxes—the entire budgets of California, Virginia, and Indiana combined.
Apple: has $111.3 billion offshore—more than any other company.
Nike: pays 2.2% overseas, on the $6.7 billion it books offshore.
Pfizer has 128 subsidiaries in tax havens, $69 billion in profits offshore, third highest among the Fortune 500. Pfizer tried for Astra Zeneca to get its offshore profits in the U.S. tax-free.
Citigroup had 427 tax haven subsidiaries in 2008 but only 21 by 2013. Yet Citigroup doubled its offshore cash in those years. Citigroup 8.3% tax offshore.
Yet for individuals, the last six years of IRS crackdowns show that Americans must pay U.S. tax on their worldwide income, period. More than a few big U.S. companies with far-flung operations go to extreme lengths to situate income offshore. Why not deposit it where it's taxed at a fraction of the U.S. 35% corporate tax rate?
There are lots of ways of doing it, including via the location and handling of intellectual property. U.S. law seems to invite putting IP somewhere where the revenue will be taxed at a low rate. Individuals can't do that? By comparison, individual Americans who pay tax at up to 39.6% on their worldwide income may at times feel as if they're getting a raw deal.

Kanbar Center: Advancing and innovating health professions education
Medical Student News
General UCSF Medical Education News
| By Karin Fleming
The Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills
On November 9, UCSF's Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills held its annual showcase. Faculty, staff, and learners from the UCSF educational community gathered to learn about the latest advances in simulation and the expertise offered at this unique learning facility.
Attendees were presented with updates from Kanbar Center staff, including details of the Center's achievements and innovations over the past year, and of new partnerships and initiatives underway. In addition, Kanbar Simulation fellows presented on their projects and experiences during their fellowship.
"We are tremendously proud of our team and the services we provide to support faculty and learners daily," said Michael Quirk, Kanbar Center Operations Director. "Our team is constantly working to improve efficiency and quality of the support provided so we can continue to accommodate programmatic growth and innovation."
"With our focus on promoting experiential learning, we are constantly pushing boundaries and earning global recognition," said Professor of Pediatrics Sandrijn van Schaik, MD, PhD, Kanbar Center Education Director, Baum Family Presidential Chair for Experiential Learning.
The Kanbar Center supports UCSF's educational mission by creating opportunities for teaching, learning, and assessment using simulation as an educational strategy. Simulation is as an educational modality which allows the learners to mimic an aspect of clinical care for the purpose of teaching or assessment.
Activities at the Center range from those that use actors (standardized patients), to activities with partial task trainers and/or mannequins. The Kanbar Center serves all five health professional schools at UCSF and provides learning opportunities across the continuum of health professions education.
Located in the lower level of the UCSF Library on the Parnassus campus, the Kanbar Center features exam rooms and simulation rooms that can mimic an ED or OR with equipment that allows students to simulate patient care situations, including work in interprofessional teams.
New developments and growth of services at the Kanbar helps ensure that learners at all stages of their career, from students through practicing professionals, have the opportunity to practice and refine new skills before working with patients who need this skill-based expertise.
Kanbar Center News and Fast Facts:
The Center's utilization rapidly grew from 42% in 2011-2012 to greater than 100% this year. The Center now operates at full capacity for most of the year, and often books programs in time originally set aside for maintenance and administrative duties. Kanbar leadership is actively seeking opportunities to expand the Center's capacity.
In recognition of the growing importance of simulation in the education of health profession students at UCSF, the Kanbar Center's Education Director, Sandrijn van Schaik, was appointed as the inaugural Baum Family Chair for Experiential Learning. This was made possible by a generous donation by John and Mindy Baum, which will support the development of a Simulation Faculty Scholars Program in 2019.
The Kanbar Center helps UCSF to accomplish its missions of innovation, research, and outreach. This is exemplified by nine new educational programs in the 2017-18 academic year, which include new programs for medical students, nursing students, residents and medical center staff. The Center partnered with the UCSF Police Department to provide American Heart Association Emergency Cardiac Care classes for their staff and the greater community.
An increasing number of faculty and residents are engaged in research around simulation. Simulation fellow Mindy Ju won the 2018 WGEA Award for Best Research with her work on gender bias in leadership of simulated resuscitation teams. |
Q: Search into JSON and get keys I'm trying since a few day to get a result from a JSON here is my problem
I'm calling an AWS API which send me a complete JSON like this :
[
{
"ID": "12345",
"key": value
},
{
"ID": "23456",
"key": value
},
{
"ID": "34567",
"key": value
},
{
"ID": "45678",

"key": value
},
{
"ID": "76543",
"key": value
},
{
"ID": "987654",
"key": value
}
]
What I'm trying to do is : the user will enter an ID in a form, submit it and get a page with value depending on the JSON "keys"
The problem is my API doesn't have any endpoint which can get me only the specific ID datas, only my list of ID's inside this JSON (which is multiple k lines long) and get the value
Do you have any idea how I can solve this ?
Thanks in advance,
JB
A: So use find method of an array. find method will returns only one object it matched with.
const result = {};
const arr = [
{
"ID": "12345",
"key": value
},
{
"ID": "23456",
"key": value
},... ];
result = arr.find(item => item.ID === 'searchId');
A: The datas are in an array excatly as I mantionned in the first post
For security purpose I cannot share the exactly JSON with datas, so I rewrite it with some fake datas.
Here is the console on the error enter image description here

Our rustic 8-inch Black candle holder is wall mounted. The vintage candle holder features a hand-wrought arrowhead design. These black hand forged sconces look great either singly or as a pair on either side of a fireplace.
The Black candle holder measures 22cm high and the stem is 3cm wide. The antique arrowhead measures 7cm by 7m and the traditional candle base is also 7cm in diameter.
Each cottage item is hand finished and given a beeswax coating. All our hand-forged products are carefully aged for an authentic look. You will notice different areas of colour all over this product from black to rust. Candles are not included.
Each of these old candle holders is produced for us in a small blacksmiths shop. The blacksmiths that we have chosen to make these for us are highly skilled artisans. They have a passion for their work and this will show in the end product. Once these sconces have been forged they are hand cleaned and hand polished. Once this process has been compleated the wrought iron is dressed. To dress the iron the candle holders are dipped into beeswax.
The beeswax is good for the iron. By seeping into the tiny holes on the wrought irons surface the wax forms an airtight barrier over the surface. This barrier will protect the sconce from excessive rusting. The second purpose the wax serves is that it will even out the colour of the wrought iron. The colour, in this case, will be mostly black but areas of golden brown will also show.
As these are traditional-aged sconces we have put a candle spike into the bottom of each drip tray to hold the candles. It might be that you wish to use LED battery candles. In this case please leave a note for us in the checkout area. We will happily remove these spikes for you. |

Photo: The newly renovated Fashion Focus Academy's state-of-the-art design earned it top honors by Salon Today as well as an industry "Oscar," at the North American Hairstyle Awards.
Originally founded by brothers Byron and Richard Weintraub, Fashion Focus Academy is now currently co-owned by Byron's son Aaron and Richard, who is also a partner in Yellow Strawberry Hair Salons. For the 30thAnniversary renovation, the two current Weintraub partners entered a relationship with leading Sarasota-based salon designer Leon Alexander of Eurisko to renovate Fashion Focus Academy earlier this year. Together, their collective vision and resulting salon re-do caught the attention of Salon Today and NAHAjudges. Noted design highlights included the Academy's backlit LED lighting and a barbershop accentuated with dark wood cabinets, which helped Fashion Focus Academy earn a top spot on Salon Today's2018 Salons of Distinctions list.
Other design highlights and comments from Salon Today included the Academy's entrance where "guests are welcomed by an amazing set of three 6-foot long visuals of model finishes within the beautiful retail space, as well as two podium check in centers. A vast amount of shelving is accented with backlit LED lighting, and a (new) barbershop is accented in beautiful dark wood cabinets and LED-framed mirrors."
"It is true testimonial to have Fashion Focus Academy be selected among the best of the best in the country by two distinctive industry outlets as well as factoring in the more than 86,000 salons and barbershops in the U.S.," said Richard Weintraub. "Most importantly, that as a full spectrum beauty school we are creating exceptional educational experiences for our students who can then carry this forward once they graduate."
Space expansion from 4,800 sq. ft. to 5,500 sq. ft.
Located at 2184 Gulf Gate Drive in Sarasota, Fla., Fashion Focus Hair Academy was founded in 1988 by partners Richard and Byron Weintraub.

Each subject week celebration aims to foster a love for the same, enhances comphrehension and creativity and provides an avenue for self expression beyond school curriculam. To achieve such aims, each week undertakes a number of activities or proects with a view to provide oppurtunities to all the learners equally. Each subject week is a two-fold event. Initially all the students of a class participate in an intra section activity, thereafter BEST performing student/group of each section competes in the final activity.The objective is 100% participation of the learners which boosts their confidence and enhances learning.
Presentation week is one such unique annual academic feature where in "Peer teaching" is practiced proactively. Each section of a class is divided into groups and each group is allotted a subject specific teaching concept. Students with the help of their subject teachers create innovative teaching aids and activities to teach their peers.
This presentation is undertaken by the students in the second semester when they are ready to dabble with the complexities with their ever evolving cognitive capabilities. This activity allows students to be interactive and gain confidence along with helping them to overcome their phobia of the subject, if any. They develop a firm grip on the concepts and the confidence to face the class and answer the queries of their fellow students. It also be enables the students to plan innovative strategies for teaching and thereby learning and understanding the topic in a sequential manner. This hands on practice has its own inimitable rewards. |
Iran views China ties as strategic: Official
A senior Iranian official has hailed the relations between Iran and China, saying that Tehran views its ties with Beijing as "strategic and long-term."
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Morteza Sarmadi made the remark in a Monday meeting with outgoing Chinese Ambassador to Tehran Yu Hongyang.
The Iranian official pointed to a meeting between Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, held on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek last year, and underlined the necessity for continued cooperation between the two countries within the framework of their joint economic commission and the exchange of visits by their senior officials.
Yu Hongyang, for his part, said that senior officials in his country are strongly determined to strengthen ties with Iran.
China attaches great importance to the reinforcement of ties with Iran as an important and trustworthy partner, he stressed.
The Chinese diplomat expressed satisfaction with the current Iran-China bilateral ties, saying, however, that there are vast potentials for expanding all-out ties.
In 2012, the total value of annual trade between Tehran and Beijing exceeded USD 45 billion.
On March 3, Director of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran Valiollah Afkhami-Rad said that Tehran and Beijing plan to raise their annual trade to USD 200 billion in 10 years.
The Islamic Republic is currently China's third largest supplier of crude, providing roughly 12 percent of its annual oil consumption.

Ned Colletti Reportedly A Candidate In Diamondbacks' GM Search
By Steve Adams | October 7, 2016 at 8:39am CDT
Former Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti is on the Diamondbacks' list of potential GM candidates, reports J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group.
The 62-year-old Colletti served as GM in Los Angeles from 2005-14 before giving way to current president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman at the end of the 2014 campaign. The Dodgers retained Colletti as a senior advisor to team president/CEO Stan Kasten, but he no longer plays a role in the decision-making process when it comes to baseball operations. Hoornstra adds that whoever is ultimately hired will not report to Tony La Russa — a sentiment that meshes with previous reports which have indicated that La Russa will no longer be calling the shots in the Arizona front office even if has not been let go by the team.
The Dodgers reached the postseason in six of Colletti's nine seasons as general manager, and he was the GM for a number of critical trades, free-agent signings and extensions that still impact today's iteration of the Dodgers. Most notably, Colletti helped orchestrate the blockbuster trade that sent Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto from Boston to L.A. in exchange for James Loney, Ivan De Jesus, Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa back in 2012. He also signed Zack Greinke to a six-year, $147MM contract with an opt-out clause after the third season (which Greinke exercised, netting the Dodgers a 2015 first-round pick after rejecting a QO) and worked out extensions for Andre Ethier (five years, $85MM) and Clayton Kershaw (seven years, $215MM with a third-year opt-out). Colletti also acquired Manny Ramirez in 2008 — arguably the most successful half-season rental in recent history — and re-signed him to a two-year, $45MM deal that proved less successful. Los Angeles' two-year, $36.2MM deal for Andruw Jones late in his career also proved to be a significant misstep.
On the international front, Colletti gave the approval on a number of expensive signings that yielded no return for the Dodgers, including Erisbel Arruebarrena and Alex Guerrero, though the team's signing of Yasiel Puig to a seven-year, $42MM contract has to be deemed a success even if Puig's performance never returns to its 2013-14 heights. And, the signings of Hiroki Kuroda out of Japan and Hyun-Jin Ryu out of Korea both provided tremendous value to the pitching staff, though Ryu's contributions have been cut short due to shoulder problems that have sidelined him for nearly all of the 2015-16 seasons after two terrific years in 2013-14.
Colletti is one of six names that has been linked to the D-backs since the season ended, as reports have indicated that league executives Kim Ng and Peter Woodfork (a former D-backs assistant GM) are in the mix, as is Brewers VP of scouting Ray Montgomery (a former D-backs exec himself). Internal candidates reportedly include assistant GM Bryan Minniti and farm director Mike Bell.

Player's Perspective: September Roster Expansion
Coaching Notes: Bonds, Wallace, McDowell, Mets
Frozen rope
The only name on the list that has done something at that level, all GM's have skeletons as far as signings, but let's not forget that 2/3 years they didn't go to the post season were during the McCourt debacle.
ExtremelyRedsGuy
Contract the Diamondbacks.
josc2
vtadave
Dodgers fans endorse this move.
socalblake
And all the washed up ex-Giants will go to AZ instead of LA, woo-hoo!
No way Ned gets another job after The Beat Team Money Can Buy. Putting it mildly, the book painted him poorly.
gamemusic3
Please oh please let this happen.
ib6ub9
Barry Bonds he use to play and was a hitting coach and should be able to get the players hooked up if they need something
Dbacker
Man, we need this guy. He is a winner. I'm sick of losing. The only GM in our history with a winning record was the first one, Joe Garagiola Jr., and he was barely above break-even.
Dave Sterwart 2015-16 148-176 .457
Kevin Towers 2011-14 320-328 .494
Jerry Dipoto Interim 7/10-9/10 31-43 .419
Josh Byrnes 2006-2010 318-330 .490
Bob Gebhard Interim 8/4/05 25-28 .472
Joe Jr. 1998-2005 627-616 .504
Compare that to Colletti who was 783-674 .537 with five playoff in nine seasons and only one losing season (under McCourt) when the Dodgers were a 80-82 — a better record than our Dbacks have had in 8 of their 19 seasons so far. Let's hire a winner and turn this around.
myplane150
Can you imagine the cackling that Dbags owner Ken Kendricks must have been enjoying when he swooped in to get Greinke? Man probably needs to jump in his pool to cool off now that his team has sucked so bad after that 'game-changing' deal. Greinke sure made a bad greedy ass choice. Dodgers winning the WS would be such sweet karma.
radioball123
Colletti is a good guy. Take the Mcfarts out of the equation and you probably have a really competitive team. He did really well considering his hands were tied many times. I think this would be a good move for a smaller market team like the D'backs.
BlueSkyLA
It's fashionable to bash Colletti by dwelling on his mistakes (as if some GMs never make any) but his work as GM was at least passible, especially considering he was working in the McBankrupt straight jacket.
Good thread, pleasure to have educated people on it, Colletti is a no-brainer, especially if you consider the list of interns mentioned. D-backs will go from last to 2nd in a year under his guidance, Mark it!
hammystyle
Colleti is underrated and Friedman is probably the most overrated exec in the game. Colletti also was in charge of drafting Kershaw, Seager, Joc Pederson and Dee Gordon amongst others. He got Justin Turner off the scrap heap.
Fuchholz
Seems like they should figure out La Russa's status with the team first, then it would become more clear what they would be hiring for. This situation in the AZ is still a bit too murky to attract quality front office personnel.
Of all the possible candidates, he is undoubtedly the best one
Thronson5
Dodgers fan here. I actually really like Ned. I think he did a good job and if you consider the McCourts owning the Dodgers at the time he actually did a great job for the circumstances. Did he make some bad moves? You name me a GM who hasn't! Pretty sure they all make bad trades and signings. Overall this guy did a really good job and I was one of the Dodgers fans who actually wanted to see him stick around and see what he could actually do with that money. If the Diamondbacks get him they'll be lucky.
Seriously. We need this guy. Come on Kendrick and Hall.. |
Q: Glitch when animating nested views in a shared element Activity transition? I've been messing around with the new APIs in Android 5.0 and have been trying to figure out whether or not it is possible to animate both a ViewGroup and one of its children separately as shared elements during an Activity transition.
The screenshots below gives a simplified example of what I am trying to achieve:
In the first activity, the dark gray box is a ViewGroup centered in the screen and the red box is its child View (the layout XML code I am using can be found here). When the user clicks on the dark gray box, the dark gray box should gradually scale up to fill the second activity's background. At the same time, the red box should gradually scale and reposition itself in the top left corner of the second activity.
The Activity & Animation Code
The Activity code I am using to perform the transition is simple:
/** FirstActivity.java */
public class FirstActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
private View mOuterBox, mInnerBox;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS);
getWindow().setSharedElementExitTransition(new ChangeBounds());
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_first);
mOuterBox = findViewById(R.id.outer_box);
mInnerBox = findViewById(R.id.inner_box);
mOuterBox.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Pair<View, String> outerBox = Pair.create(mOuterBox, mOuterBox.getTransitionName());
Pair<View, String> innerBox = Pair.create(mInnerBox, mInnerBox.getTransitionName());
Bundle bundle = ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this, outerBox, innerBox).toBundle();
startActivity(new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class), bundle);
}
}
/** SecondActivity.java */
public class SecondActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTIVITY_TRANSITIONS);
getWindow().setSharedElementEnterTransition(new ChangeBounds());
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_second);
}
}
The Problem
When I click on the dark gray box in the first activity, the shared element transition begins and the dark gray box scales up nicely to fill the second activity's background. However, the red box does not appear to animate at all. As soon as the transition starts, the red box abruptly resizes and positions itself in its final location within the second activity before the gray box has even finished animating.
My Question
Is it possible to animate both a ViewGroup and one/some/all of its children views independently as shared elements in an Activity transition? If so, what am I doing wrong and what can I do to ensure the children views are animated as well?
If you had trouble following my descriptions, the full source code for this example project is available on GitHub and a runnable APK is available for download here (you'll need a physical device or emulator running Android 5.0 to run the APK).
A: Yes, you can transition a group and its contents separately. But you just found a bug that will be fixed in L MR1.
It appears that this is not well supported in L. I recommend that you make the shared elements siblings in the second Activity:
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/dark_gray"
android:transitionName="outer_box"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/outer_box"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<View
android:id="@+id/inner_box"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:background="@color/red"
android:transitionName="inner_box" />
</RelativeLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Come, Ye Disconsolate
Words by Thomas Moore; alt. by Thomas Hastings
Music by Samuel Webbe
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish.
Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure."
Here see the bread of life; waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above.
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

If you are old enough to have been watching ski movies in the 80's and 90's, you are sure to recognize the name Greg Stump. If you're not familiar with Stump's films, do yourself a favor and add a few to your annual ski party viewing list this year. He produced a number of ski films during the rise of "extreme skiing," perhaps the most highly regarded being his 1988 film, Blizzard of Aahhhs. Featuring names like Plake, Hattrup and Schmidt, Blizzard set a new tone for ski films and, for that matter, for skiing.
Having won film awards and earned himself the Lifetime Achievement Award from International Ski History Association, Stump has been out of the ski film world since the late 90's, but this fall marks his return and the launch of what he's saying is his final ski film, Legend of Aahhhs.
As the name implies, the film is a retrospective look at Blizzard of Aahhhs and the history of the ski film genre. Stump's semi-autobiographical approach includes a serious dose of vintage footage and classic Blizzard moments. Discussions with influential athletes including Hattrup, Plake and Schmidt plus conversations with Warren Miller and other ski filmmakers help frame Stump's influences and ski films as we know them today. It's a must see for any dedicated skier.
Off-Piste Mag: You've been out of the ski film loop for a few years. What prompted the return and the subsequent production of Legend of Aahhhs?
Greg Stump: It was a story that needed to be told, so I dove in.
OP: I feel like I first heard rumor of the new film a few years ago, and it's great to see the perspective behind Blizzard of Aahhhs and hear from the athletes today. Was that the plan from the outset or did it take time for the project to gel?
GS: Well, between finding the funding and doing all the research and then building the edit it was time consuming. The edit was very difficult as every door you opened offered another ten doors… then behind each new door there were another ten.
OP: I really enjoyed the vintage footage and modern discussion with Plake, Schmidt and Hattrup reflecting on the process. Did you consider getting the crew back together on snow for shooting?
GS: No. Getting all those cats together is like cat wrangling… I can get Willie Nelson on the phone easier than Glen Plake.
OP: Having made such an impact on the ski film genre, where did the experience lead you professionally?
GS: It got me into Hollywood making commercials and music documentaries. I directed and edited Tony Hawks' 2001 Super Bowl commercial for Disney, music videos for Seal, Willie Nelson, Art of Noise and Dinosaur Jr. But none of it had my name on it, so the ski movie crowd thought I disappeared.
OP: Having influenced the ski film genre, what do you think of today's films from the big boys at TGR to the up-and-coming crews from Sweetgrass and Sherpa Cinema? Do you watch ski films anymore?
GS: I love the athleticism and the cinema work… simply stunning.
OP: Did you get Warren Miller to watch the original Blizzard movie? What did he think?
GS: He's never seen it.
OP: There's some great old footage in Legend, including shots of you at the dawn of the freestyle era. When's the last time you showed off your ski ballet moves? |
Blog Behind the Scenes with Warhol Curator Nicholas Chambers
Yasumasa Morimura. Marilyn Monroe
Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 3pm
By Nicholas Chambers
This post was originally featured on Artsy.
"'Theater of the Self' evolved from an extended conversation between The Warhol and Yasumasa Morimura. That may sound trite, but, collaboration with the artist really was central to the development of the exhibition – from my initial meeting with Morimura in Tokyo through to final decisions concerning the checklist and installation. Early conversations revolved around the idea of providing a framework that would enable audiences to focus on specific thematic concerns of the artist's 30+ year practice, while also opening things up to unforeseen interpretations.
It was Morimura's suggestion to build the show around 3 distinct bodies of work – art history, the Requiem series (dealing with 20th Century photographic subjects) and actresses – and around these we built a checklist that included both iconic works as well as lesser known pieces that hadn't been seen in the United States. In a nod to the artist's history in Pittsburgh (his 1992 show at the Carnegie Museum of Art was one of his first museum shows outside of Japan), Futago, from the Carnegie's collection, was installed as a centerpiece from which the rest of the show fanned out. Particularly important to our thinking about the exhibition was the inclusion of a group of over 40 silver gelatin prints from the M's Self-Portrait series. Given their own room, they help, we hope, to underline the performative aspect of the artist's project which, while present in every work, has a certain immediacy and urgency in these images – more improvisational than other works, they have the effect of emphasizing the artist's body and his extraordinary capacity for self-transformation." |

Clean 1 section at a time. Start with the roof and move down, getting the bottom sections last. This will prevent the need to re-wash as dirt drips down.
A mild, liquid soap is all you need to clean your car's exterior. It will cut through grease and gunk and won't hurt the finish.
Hose off your sponge or cloth before dipping it to get more soap. This will keep your soapy water from getting dirty.
Don't spend too much on fancy polishes. If you really want a shine, an inexpensive polish or wax will do just fine bringing out your car's shine.
Even if your vehicle is built to be rugged and has rubber mats to protect from mud and wetness, DO NOT hose out the interior. Vehicles aren't made to handle that kind of flooding. Remove the mats to clean them.
If vacuuming alone isn't getting pet hair or pieces of lint out of seats or floor mats, try using a cleaning brush along with the vacuum. Rub gently with the brush to get the pesky debris out of the fibers and vacuum simultaneously to get rid of them forever. Also, lint rollers (or tape rolled around your hand so the sticky side faces out) can be useful here.
A tooth brush is an excellent tool for getting into cracks where crumbs and dust collect.
Think mild. You only want to use mild all-purpose cleaners on your vehicle.
Test any cleaning product you use on a tiny, unnoticeable bit of material or fabric before using it to make sure it won't discolor or damage your interior.
If crumbs or debris are down a crack and the vacuum cleaner isn't working, try blowing the objects with a keyboard blower (or hook your vacuum hose up so it blows instead of sucking if your vacuum has that capability). Once the crumbs are out of the crack, they should be easy to pick up with a vacuum.
If you have a dirty seatbelt, try mixing a drop of a mild laundry detergent with some water. Then use a cloth to rub the solution onto the seatbelt to get it clean.
A clean vehicle is a comfortable vehicle. Be sure that your comfortable vehicle remains an operational vehicle. Bring it into Golden Triangle Auto Care for a free 30-point inspection. Happy driving! |

Environmental groups call on feds to protect caribou on provincial land
Nicole Thompson
TORONTO — Three environmental groups are calling on the federal government to protect boreal caribou in northern Ontario, saying a decade of mismanagement by the province has put the animals increasingly at risk.
The David Suzuki Foundation, Ontario Nature and the Wildlands League issued a petition to Environment Minister Catherine McKenna this week, requesting that she recommend federal cabinet issue what's known as a "safety net order" under the Species at Risk Act for two boreal caribou populations about 120 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay.
The move would prevent damage to or destruction of 65 per cent of the caribou populations' habitats — the amount of undisturbed land that the federal government said in a 2012 report would give the animals a 60 per cent shot at becoming self-sustaining.
"Caribou is an indicator of a healthy boreal forest," said Anna Baggio, director of conservation planning for Wildlands League. "That forest is the backbone of our country in terms of providing us with ecosystem services, whether it's cleaning our air, purifying our water, stabilizing our soil."
A spokeswoman for McKenna said the federal government is "taking swift action" to protect nature and wildlife and would take a "close look" at the petition's recommendations.
In issuing their petition, the groups put together a report that said the caribou populations have been threatened by the mining and logging industries, as well as roads and railroads.
The groups said the Ontario government doesn't know exactly how many caribou remain in the two at-risk herds because no surveys have been conducted on them since 2013. The animals' populations have been on the decline since before that time, the groups contend, and the conditions of their habitats are only getting worse.
"We know they're not doing well," said Baggio. "We know the calves aren't surviving. We know the adult females aren't surviving enough to replenish the population, and they're facing more pressures. So the responsible thing to do would be to a) protect the habitat, and b) keep up the monitoring every year."
The province's Ministry of Natural Resources — which handled endangered species before Premier Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservatives took power this summer — and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change — which now handles endangered species — did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Baggio said it was irresponsible of the province not to keep close track of the health of the caribou population, given the continued development of their habitat.
"You know what they haven't stopped doing? They haven't stopped handing out permits for industrial development," Baggio said, noting that a safety net order wouldn't shut down industry in the area entirely.
"These ranges are massive," she said. "You can protect critical habitat and there would be room for the industries to operate."
Sarah McDonald, a lawyer with Ecojustice who helped compile the groups' report, said she believed a safety net order hasn't been issued before but argued it would be a bold, positive move.
"It's a big step for the government to step in and say that this large portion of land, at least in the case of caribou, is protected — especially when that land is technically under provincial jurisdiction," she said.
"Whether (the petition) results in an order or whether it just incentivizes the province to step up its game and do something to protect these ranges, either would be perfect for us as long as the outcome is that these caribou ranges are protected." |

The Zoom R24 is the ultimate solution for creators looking to make their mark on the world. It provides everything you need to make professional studio-quality recordings: a 24-track recorder, a pad sampler, a rhythm machine, a DAW control surface and a computer audio interface, all in one portable unit. It even has its own built-in stereo condenser microphones as well as 8 mic/line/instrument level inputs and a chromatic tuner. In addition, the R24 offers a hundred different ways to polish your recordings, including compression, reverb, delay, amp models and mastering effects.
The R24 provides 24 tracks for recording and playback (up to 8 tracks can be recorded simultaneously) in full fidelity WAV format (16 or 24-bit, at 44.1 or 48 kHz sampling rates), making it ideal for both professional production and for use as a musical sketchpad. Battery operation allows for field recording and enables you to capture your musical ideas quickly. You can connect external microphones or line-level sources directly to the R24 or use the built-in stereo mic pair for minimal setup. You can also plug instruments such as electric guitar or bass right into the R24. When your multitrack recording is complete, you can use the R24's internal mixer, complete with real faders, equalization, panning, and more than 100 built-in DSP effects—including amp models and mastering effects like multi-band compression—to create a stereo mix with studio-quality sound.
The R24 is a pad sampler and rhythm machine too. Eight velocity-sensitive pads allow the triggering of up to 24 samples, drum sounds, or loops. 400 internal loops and drum patterns are provided.
In addition, you can create your own custom samples and loops from recorded audio tracks. Quantization and time-stretching can be applied to ensure perfect synchronization. Three playback modes are available for each pad (Repeat, Gate, and 1Shot), and the onboard audio sequencer allows step entry of drum parts when absolute precision is required.
Best of all, the R24's multitrack recorder is fully integrated with the pad sampler and rhythm machine, allowing a wide variety of production styles to be accommodated. However you choose to build your productions, you'll find the R24 to be the ultimate creative tool.
If you use DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software, you probably love mixing in the box but hate mixing with a mouse. The R24 provides the perfect solution. Mackie Control™ emulation enables it to act as a full-featured control surface for popular DAWs such as Cubase and Logic, as well as providing an audio editing platform for video software packages such as Final Cut Pro, adding real faders and transport/autolocate/status buttons that streamline the process of creating the perfect mix. In addition, five assignable function keys allow you to set marker points and initiate advanced editing operations.
The R24 offers eight inputs on combo connectors that can accept either XLR or ¼" balanced or unbalanced cables. All inputs can handle mic/line/instrument level signals, and Input 1 can also handle low impedance signals from passive electric guitars and basses. Phantom power of +24 or +48 volts can be applied to up to six inputs, allowing the use of external condenser microphones. There are also dual balanced ¼" TRS output jacks and a headphone output with a dedicated volume control.
Over 100 studio-quality DSP effects are provided, including insert effects such as equalization and dynamics processing as well as send-return effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, flanging, and phasing. In addition, there are guitar amp, bass amp, and mic preamp models, as well as effects specially designed for use on vocals and stereo instruments such as electronic keyboards, plus mastering algorithms such as multi-band compression. Effects can be applied during recording and mixdown, or can be used for playback only.
A USB port allows the R24 to send and receive digital data and to act as an 8-input/2-output interface for DAWs such as the included Cubase LE. When operating at a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, input signal can be routed through the R24's onboard DSP effects. You can even synchronize two R24s (or an R24 and an R16) via USB for 16 tracks of simultaneous recording and 48 (or 40) tracks of playback.
Just 6 AA batteries—either alkaline or rechargeable NiMH—are required for power. Battery life when using alkaline batteries is more than 4.5 hours, even during continuous recording. Alternatively, you can use the included AD-14 AC adapter, which allows you to power the R24 from any standard wall socket. The R24 can also be powered via USB when connected to a computer.
The R24 records directly to SD cards, with support for both standard SD and SDHC cards up to 32 gigabytes, for a maximum of 100 track hours. Using SD media for recording ensures increased reliability and means that you never have to be concerned about hard drive failure.
The Zoom R24 comes with a free download license for Sternberg's Cubase LE music production software, providing not just the ability to capture incredible audio in every box, but to do spectacular things with them.
Take your recordings to a more professional level. Steinberg's powerful and state-of-the-art audio software used by creators around the world now comes with every Zoom R24, R16, and R8 purchase. |
The most common problem faced by taxpayers in India, is pending income tax refunds. Even though there are many other complaints against the income tax department, pending income tax refunds are top of the list of complaints against the Income Tax Department. This issue arises either due to Income tax department's laziness or due to the increasing number of taxpayers in India.
Many taxpayers who do not receive tax refunds even after waiting for months feel helpless and don't know what to do. In this article, IndianMoney complaints portal IamCheated.com will tell what's to be done, when you don't receive an income tax refund even after waiting for many days.
SEE ALSO:What is General Insurance?
You get income tax refund on paying more taxes than you actually owe. Income tax refund is nothing but the refund of excess income tax paid. This usually happens when there is excess deduction of taxes from your income. If you are a salaried employee, this may happen if you have missed out declaring investments which enjoy tax deductions.
The income tax refund will be delayed if the TDS details in your form do not match data with the Income Tax Department (Form 26AS). So, it's advisable to verify the TDS details before form submission.
To receive direct credit of refunds, you are required to give bank account number and MICR. Your refund will be stuck if there is an error in the details provided.
SEE ALSO:What Is Credit Score?
Your assessment might take longer if there are lots of TDS entries. In such a case, your refund would be delayed.
IndianMoney complaints portal IamCheated.com says if you have not received income tax refund even after waiting for many days, you must submit a written complaint to the income tax officer. If your complaint has been rejected by the officer, or if you have not received any reply within 30 days, or if the complaint is not properly looked into, you can contact the Income Tax Ombudsman and raise your complaint. You must approach the Income Tax Ombudsman within a year, after waiting for 30-days to receive a response from the I-T official.
What is Income Tax Ombudsman?
To resolve issues faced by taxpayers, the government of India has launched an independent body called Income Tax Ombudsman. While Banking Ombudsman looks into the issues faced by bank customers, Income Tax Ombudsman looks into taxpayer's issues. The Income Tax Ombudsman includes former tax officials and officials of the Indian Revenue Service.
IndianMoney Complaints Portal IamCheated.com says taxpayers must submit following documents while filing complaints with Income Tax Ombudsman.
Name, address, and PAN of the assessee.
Copy of the complaint letter submitted with an income tax officer.
Facts and details of the complaint.
Other necessary documents like income proof.
Relief demanded from the ombudsman.
2. Inappropriate behavior of tax officials.
3. The differences in the tax refund received.
4. The complaint related to the allotment of Permanent Account Number.
5. Non-credit of taxes paid.
6. Non-acknowledgement of documents or letters sent to the I-T Department.
If you have an issue with any company you can post your complaint on IndianMoney complaints portal IamCheated.com. IamCheated.com is a free consumer complaints portal which helps in resolving consumer complaints online.
Fixed Deposit vs Recurring Deposit: Which is the Better Option?
How Compounding Can Make You Rich? |
My mother was very worried about me. Although I had been receiving excellent care for my cancer and was in the process of recovering from chemotherapy, my mother needed to hear my voice every day.
I realized that she was not the only family member, let alone friend or colleague, who needed to know that I was surviving let alone thriving.
I attend a metastatic breast cancer group in Temecula sponsored by a wonderful non-profit organization called Michelle's Place. At one of our meetings last spring, someone shared a flyer from Project Connect Online, UCLA. The flyer explained that Project Connect Online offered a way for cancer patients to create websites and communicate with their family and friends.
This was what I had been waiting for! A platform to send information to family without being on the phone all day or sending out massive emails trying desperately trying to keep everyone informed.
Well, I don't know about the flair and style, but I certainly have used the blog portion of Project Connect Online over the last 15 months to communicate medical updates, share consultation notes and relate personal anecdotes.
An example of the power that lies behind Project Connect Online happened just the other day.
I had hit a wall. A wall of pain and a wall of emotions. My pain was so great and unmanageable I only wanted to lie in a dark, noiseless room waiting for relief through prescription medications. My emotions were running high with doubt, stress and the unending pain. Nothing seemed to help.
Then, a thought occurred to me - my blog in Project Connect Online! I could put out a "help me" post (my first one ever) asking for funny stories, jokes, anything that would bring a smile to my face and make me forget about the pain.
Within minutes of sending out the blog post I received responses from my friends and family members. Some replied with jokes, others with anecdotes, one friend even dropped comics at our front door. Every response made me smile or laugh, easing the pain. I felt loved and that eased my stress. I made it through that afternoon in a large portion to Project Connect Online.
Communication is the driving force that binds our society. It allows for positive and powerful influences beyond our mere words and actions. It brings joy, peace and love. |
Q: How to get all items and their value by mysql query I have three mysql tables.
Table-01: table_item
In this table, all items with their corresponding ids are stored. Items are categorized in two categories. One is writing category (catid-1) and another is clothing category (catid-2).
---------------------------------------------
| id | catname | catid | itemid | itemname |
---------------------------------------------
║ 1 ║ writing ║ 1 ║ 1 ║ Pen ║
║ 2 ║ writing ║ 1 ║ 2 ║ Pencil ║
║ 3 ║ writing ║ 1 ║ 3 ║ Sharpner ║
║ 4 ║clothing ║ 2 ║ 4 ║ Pant ║
║ 5 ║clothing ║ 2 ║ 5 ║ shirt ║
║ 6 ║clothing ║ 2 ║ 6 ║ coat ║
║ 7 ║clothing ║ 2 ║ 7 ║ Tie ║
---------------------------------------------
Table-02: bid_item
Each year bid/tender is called for purchasing selective items from the above item table (table_item). So in this table, selected items, those are selected for bid/tender, are stored per year basis.
----------------------
║ id ║ itemid ║ year ║
----------------------
║ 1 ║ 1 ║ 2015 ║
║ 2 ║ 2 ║ 2015 ║
║ 3 ║ 3 ║ 2015 ║
║ 4 ║ 4 ║ 2015 ║
║ 5 ║ 5 ║ 2015 ║
║ 6 ║ 6 ║ 2015 ║
║ 7 ║ 1 ║ 2016 ║
║ 8 ║ 2 ║ 2016 ║
║ 9 ║ 3 ║ 2016 ║
║ 10 ║ 4 ║ 2016 ║
║ 11 ║ 7 ║ 2016 ║
----------------------
Table-03: bid_2015
After calling bid/Tender, rate of the corresponding companies for selected items are stored in this table. Each company will not give bid price for each items selected for a particular year. Tables are created according to the year alias. Here bid rate for year 2015 are stored as below:
--------------------------------
║ id ║ itemid ║ company ║ rate ║
--------------------------------
║ 1 ║ 1 ║ X ║ 2.0 ║
║ 2 ║ 2 ║ X ║ 2.2 ║
║ 3 ║ 3 ║ X ║ 1.0 ║
║ 4 ║ 4 ║ X ║ 10.0 ║
║ 5 ║ 5 ║ X ║ 15.0 ║
║ 6 ║ 1 ║ Y ║ 1.5 ║
║ 8 ║ 2 ║ Y ║ 2.0 ║
║ 9 ║ 3 ║ Y ║ 1.5 ║
║ 10 ║ 4 ║ Y ║ 12.0 ║
║ 11 ║ 6 ║ Y ║ 20.0 ║
--------------------------------
I need a html table (with input field) for data entry/edit for a particular year (Here, for 2015). Table will contain following:
1) Table will show each items for clothing catagory (catid-2)those are declared for the bid/tender for 2015.
2) If a company bids price, price will be in rate column, otherwise rate column will be blank. Administrator can either change the price (if entered wrong bid price) or add rate for other items which was not entered at first for a particular table.
So the look of the html table form will be as below:
HTML Form-Table (For Data Entry/Edit) : For Company-Y and clothing catagory for the year-2015
Company: (drop-down menu- Company-Y)
------------------------------------------------------
Item Name | Rate |
----------------------
Pant | 12.0 |
-----------------------
Shirt |
-----------------------
Coat | 20.0 |
-----------------------
============
Submit
============
As you can see Rate of Shirt is blank for Company-Y as this company did not give bid price for Shirt. If this company give the price of Shirt at later, rate can be entered and can update the table.
So what would be mysql query to get a html form table like above?
If I execute this query:
SELECT i.itemname,d.rate FROM table_item as i INNER JOIN bid_item as b ON i.itemid=b.itemid LEFT JOIN bid_2015 as d ON b.itemid=d.itemid WHERE i.catid=2 AND d.company='Y' AND b.year=2015
But the expected html table is not coming. As INNER and LEFT Join are used, Item Names are shown more than once in the form table.
What will be the effective mysql query to output a html form table like above?
A:
this works for all data of company Y in 2015
select itemname,
rate
from table_item join bid_item on(table_item.itemid=bid_item.itemid and year=2015 and catid=2)
left join bid_2015 on( bid_2015.itemid=bid_item.itemid and
bid_item.itemid=table_item.itemid and company='Y' and year=2015 and catid=2)
A: This query will work fine.
SELECT i.itemname,
d.rate
FROM table_item as i
INNER JOIN bid_item as b ON i.itemid=b.itemid AND b.year=2015
LEFT JOIN bid_2015 as d ON b.itemid=d.itemid AND d.company='Y'
WHERE i.catid=2
Note:
When ever you are making LEFT/RIGHT joins on a table (say b as in
your example below). Never put conditions of table 'b' in WHERE
clause. It will act as INNER JOIN .
So the this code
SELECT i.itemname,
d.rate
FROM table_item as i
INNER JOIN bid_item as b ON i.itemid=b.itemid
LEFT JOIN bid_2015 as d ON b.itemid=d.itemid
WHERE i.catid=2 AND d.company='Y' AND b.year=2015
Act as INNER JOIN as given below.
SELECT i.itemname,
d.rate
FROM table_item as i
INNER JOIN bid_item as b ON i.itemid=b.itemid
INNER JOIN bid_2015 as d ON b.itemid=d.itemid
WHERE i.catid=2 AND d.company='Y' AND b.year=2015
Hope this helps.

The stakes for enterprise investments in threat detection and incident response capabilities are getting higher, as evidenced by empirical data from successful cyber attacks detected and remediated by SecureWorks, a Dell Technologies company.
The sheer growth and complexity of the technical threat landscape and vulnerability landscape means that merely keeping up is no longer enough. In cybersecurity, time is currently working in favor of the attackers — and time is the strategic advantage that the defenders need to regain. |

Minneapolis Child Pornography Lawyer
Defend Your Reputation & Future Today!
A charge regarding possession or dissemination of child pornography can be the most difficult and high-stakes charges to contest. If you are facing allegations related to child pornography, you cannot afford to employ a lawyer who is short of experience–there is simply too much at risk. To better your chances for a positive outcome, it is important that you contact a lawyer who has experience managing these types of criminal defense matters.
The Minnesota legislature attaches extremely severe penalties to child pornography. Not only are the prison sentences long, the social stigma attached to such a charge can damage a person's reputation and family life.
Because of the serious nature of these charges, it is critical to retain an experienced Minneapolis criminal defense attorney who will investigate the allegations and fight for you. Brockton D. Hunter P.A. is up to the task, and will take a proactive approach to protect your rights.
Minnesota Statute 617.247 criminalizes the possession and dissemination of pornographic work that depicts sexual conduct which involves minors. The statute provides an exception for official duties of police, attorneys, court personnel, social workers etc. and specifically disallows any defense of consent.
Dissemination of Child Pornography
Dissemination of child pornography carries a sentence of up to 7 years in prison and/or up to a $10,000 fine. If you have previously been convicted of dissemination of child pornography, the subsequent offense carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison and/or up to a $20,000 fine. If you are a registered predatory offender, you can be sentenced to serve up to 15 years in prison.
Possession of child pornography carries a sentence of up to 5 years in prison and/or up to a $5,000 fine. If you have previously been convicted of possession of child pornography, the subsequent offense carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison and/or up to a $10,000 fine. If you are a registered predatory offender, you can be sentenced to serve up to 10 years.

With no midweek game we had a full seven days to get ready for the visit of ex-Premier League winners Blackburn. The club asked for a bumper crowd to help the lads which definitely helped, Blackburn were a noisy bunch and the atmosphere could have been very different if so many of us hadn't turned up. I thought we'd done enough to take the three points and to be honest I thought Blackburn were fortunate to take a point away. They did play some good football at times and Tony Mowbray made a last throw of the dice with three substitutions that worked for them. We'd had a couple of chances to be a couple ahead and I'd like us to be able to put games beyond teams, especially when we're the team with the upper hand. I know we've done incredibly well but had we been just a little more clinical in front of goal we'd be a further four points clear.
But that's a tiny little issue really, we've been better than any other team in the Football League and it's beginning to look like we're more than just a flash in the pan with almost a quarter of the season gone. Again it was difficult to pick out a man of the match, I thought that Ben Godfrey had another great game, as did Toto Nsiala but there wasn't a player in our team that stood out in terms of effort and commitment, they were consistently good throughout.
I do occasionally glance at social media and I notice that a couple of fans wondering if other teams will start to find us out soon but I'm not sure there is anything to "find out". If your team ethos is one of hard work for each other, all other teams can do is try to out work us and if anyone manages that they deserve to beat us.
This Tuesday the lads travel to Doncaster to play a team that have just won 3-0 away, albeit to a struggling Plymouth team that has won just once. It's Rovers first win since late August so they will have a little confidence back but they've won just once at home so a good start could see us quieten the home fans and get something.
At the weekend we have Scunthorpe visiting the Montgomery Waters Meadow, a team that has managed six clean sheets in all competitions this season. The Iron have to play Gillingham before they play us and the Gills have lost less than fifty percent of their home games so Scunny have two difficult games this week.
Our other Shrewsbury Town teams have had mixed fortunes this week with the ladies losing to the Aston Villa Development squad. They will be looking to put that game behind them with a good result at Sutton Coldfield Town on Sunday at 2 PM.
Town's Under 18's were held to a draw on Saturday by Accrington Stanley. It was a hard fought game and own were one down at half time after striker Niall Watson broke the deadlock. A better second half saw Ethan O'Toole equalise before Lifumpa Mwandwe took the lead Accrington pulled one back just after the hour had Tom Riley sent off in the 88th minute. Harry Lovett volleyed the ball home as Stanley tried to clear making it 3-2 but Accrington equalized in injury time. Tomorrow, the under 18 squad travel to Blackpool and they also have an away game at Port Vale at the weekend.
In off the field news, Blue and Amber Fanzine and Trevor Fitch were added to the Shrewsbury Town squad after supporting the safe standing campaign. The running total is getting quite close to the revised target so there is no better time to contribute. Meanwhile, the club has revised Season Ticket prices which now give a saving of £3 per game when compared to regular ticket prices. |

We're living in a TikTok world, one that values instantaneousness above almost all else, but Tommy Ton and Andrea Tsao's instincts are telling them to slow down. Deveaux is moving to a pre-season presentation schedule, and combining two seasons into one—in this case pre-fall and fall 2021. "It's a strategic decision," Ton explained. "It's just too expensive to show four times a year, and we don't have the mental and physical capacity to keep churning out collection after collection."
As we round the corner on this pandemic year, we're likely to see other brands breaking away from the show schedule. It's an open question if the fracturing of the runway system will negatively impact small brands like this one, who've traditionally benefited from the halo effect of being grouped together with fashion's household names. But creatively speaking Ton said he was more than satisfied with this collection; in fact he called it his favorite so far.
That's an interesting observation. Ton became the industry's top street style photographer during his years shooting for Style.com. Anti-fashion isn't the right word to describe this Deveaux collection, but there's a disavowal of much of what once characterized a typical street style photo. You won't find any logos or bright colors, and not much in the way of prints.
Instead, Ton and Tsao focused their energies on sourcing a vegan leather with a surprisingly believable lambskin-like texture; cutting a pantsuit without shoulder pads or a lining so it wears like pajamas; and building a knitwear program that includes a very cozy-looking cashmere-wool bouclé. Ton and Tsao are getting behind the unisex concept. The twill pantsuit has crossover appeal, and they're cutting the vegan leather boxer shorts for both genders. Those might turn on the TikTok kids, but winning on social media isn't on the Deveaux agenda. Comfort, fabric-feel, and simplicity are. |

Podcastage Ep. 74: Kanye for President of Wyoming
Watch this video after listening to the Podcast.
Greetings earthlings and welcome back. It's Wednesday and that means it's another podcast day. This episode is the longest solo podcast I have done yet, clocking in at about 33 minutes. But it covers a lot of areas. After all, it's titled Kanye for President of Wyoming!
So I start out with the typical Let's Learn Our Country segment where I discuss a brief history of the state of Wyoming. I then discuss the Kanye West presidential campaign, and then I go into an extended diatribe covering the absurdity of someone saying "I could do that" when experiencing a piece of art. There is quite a long discussion of the history of 12-tone compositional technique in there, because that stuff is SO TIGHT! I also have included a video of the Rites of Spring which I discuss briefly in the podcast. Hope you enjoy it.
Don't forget to rate, review, & subscribe on iTunes, and follow podcastage and geeks rising on facebook and twitter.

Finding accommodation in Cardiff is very easy, but I have to admit that if you don't know anything about the city, it can be a nightmare. Firstly, I wasn't sure about weather I wanted to live in a shared house/flat or a residence. At the beginning I wanted a residence, because I was scared of living with people I didn't know and the fact that it was in another country made it worse. Plus, Cardiff University web page offered lots of residences (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/study/accommodation/undergraduates/residences). However, I realised that they were a way too expensive, so I decided to keep looking on the Internet. I looked up a lot of housing and renting web pages such as Spareroom, but any of them convinced me.
A week later, I discovered that there was a Facebook page called "Catalans a Cardiff", so I decided to ask if someone knew where I can find accommodation. Luckily, a boy answered me and told me that he had a spare room available. He sent me a lot of pictures of the house and he seemed nice, so I agreed. I would share the house with him and other three British girls.
There's also another Facebook page called "Cardiff Housing, Room and Flat Share", where you can find accommodation.
The process for the tenancy was easy. The landlady contacted me and i had to fill in an "Application for accommodation" an "Agreement" and give my personal details to her. I had to make an initial payment (transference) for two months (January and June) and then I had to pay a deposit. I payed the rest of the rent monthly.
The house is located in Cathays, which i strongly recommend. It's a very good location. It has a lot of shops and supermarkets nearby and the city centre isn't far away. The main supermarkets you can find are Tesco, Lidl and Sainsburys, but the cheapest one is Lidl. |

Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy follows the lives of six North Koreans over 15 years - a chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Il-sung and the unchallenged rise to power of his son, Kim Jong-il, and the devastation of a far-ranging famine that killed one-fifth of the population. Taking us into a landscape never before seen, Demick brings to life what it means to be an average Korean citizen, living under the most repressive totalitarian regime today - an Orwellian world in which radio and television dials are welded to the one government station, a country that is by choice not connected to the Internet, a society in which outward displays of affection are punished, and a police state that rewards informants and where an offhanded remark can send a citizen to the gulag for life. Demick's subjects - a middle-aged party loyalist and her rebellious daughter, an idealistic female doctor, an orphan, and two young lovers - all hail from the same provincial city in the farthest-flung northern reaches of the country. One by one, we witness the moments of revelation, when each realizes that they have been betrayed by the Fatherland and that their suffering is not a global condition but is uniquely theirs. Nothing to Envy is the first book about North Korea to go deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors, and penetrate the mind-set of the average citizen. It is a groundbreaking and essential addition to the literature of totalitarianism.

Q: Scraping Thumbnail from NYtimes My scraping code works for just about every site i've come accross while testing... except for nytimes.com articles. I use ajax with the following PHP code (i've left out some details to focus on my specific problem):
$link = "http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/07/us/huge-leak-of-coal-ash-slows-at-north-carolina-power-plant.html?hp";
$article = new DOMDocument;
$article->loadHTMLFile($link);
//generate image array
$images = $article->getElementsByTagName("img");
foreach ($images as $image) {
$source = $image->getAttribute("src");
echo '<img src="' . $source . '" alt="alt"><br><br>';
}
My problem is that the main images on nytimes pages don't even seem to get picked up by the getElementsByTagName. Pinterest finds a way to scrape the main images from this site for example: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/07/us/huge-leak-of-coal-ash-slows-at-north-carolina-power-plant.html?hp whereas I cannot. Any suggestions?
A: OK. So this is what I tried so far as I found your question interesting.
When I do this on browser console using jQuery, I do get results on images. My query was
var a= new Array();
$('img[src]').each(function(){ a.push($(this).attr('src'));});
console.log(a);
Also see screenshot of results
Note that console.log(arrayname) work in Chrome browser.
So ideally your code must work. Please consider adding a is_null check like I've done.
Below is the code where I try loading the URL using a different approach(perhaps better too) and get the root cause of why you get only single image of NYT logo.
The resultant HTML screenshot is attached .
<?php
$html = file_get_contents("http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/07/us/huge-leak-of-coal-ash-slows-at-north-carolina-power-plant.html?hp");
echo $html;
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->strictErrorChecking = false;
$doc->recover=true;
@$doc->loadHTML("<html><body>".$html."</body></html>");
$xpath = new DOMXpath($doc);
$images = $xpath->query("//*/img");
if (!is_null($images)) {
echo sizeof($images);
foreach ($images as $image) {
$source = $image->getAttribute('src');
echo '<img src="' . $source . '" alt="alt"><br><br>';
}
}
?>

PAL Application has requested you enter the following Identification Code in order to proceed with the retrieval of your account information.
A temporary password has been issued and sent to the email address provided. Please check your email for this temporary password and return to https://pal.whs.mil to login.
Kindly change the password provided by us.
On a request made to the agency for your forgotten User Name, we are providing you with the details of your login.
Case Number 18-F-0658 has been assigned to the request you submitted. In all future correspondence regarding this request please reference case number 18-F-0658.
We have received the attached FOIA request and assigned it case number 18-F-0658. However, as currently constructed your request is not reasonably described for further processing.
You request all records from the Office of Public Affairs related to the handling of media statements. You specifically look for documents with certain keywords in the subject line. Unfortunately, all of the key words (Talking points, STMT, Statement, and Press Strategy) are used so frequently in the day-to-day basis of Public Affairs work that an organized search is not feasible.
I would like to suggest two options to narrow your request.
1. Request formal guidance such as directives and signed memos that advise or direct press handling for DoD.
2. Tie your keywords to a specific action. For example "All guidance on how to handle the press relating to event X, with "Talking points, STMT, Statement, and Press Strategy" in the subject line.
Thank you so much for your letter. To begin with, would it be possible to limit this request to just those materials related to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)?
Limiting the information to DARPA may help. Are you still looking at this from the Public Affairs perspective or do you want DAPRA's documents related to press handling?
I'm interested in both DARPA Public Affairs materials and responsive materials from DARPA overall. I know that's likely a voluminous ask, but if it would be possible to get an estimate, I'd appreciate it very much.
I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on March 13, 2018. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed. You had assigned it reference number #18-F-0658.
I forwarded your request for an estimated date of completion to your action officer, Megan Farrell. You should be hearing from her soon.
I reached out to the component office for a status update/estimated completion date, but I have not heard back yet. I will let you know as soon as I do. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information at this time.
I just reached out to the component office that is currently working on your request for an update. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back. Should you have any questions or need any additional information in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
I no longer work with the OSD FOIA office, however, I have forwarded your email to my former Team Lead. He will be able to assist you further.
I reached out to the component for an estimated date of completion and will relay their response as soon as they provide it to me.

Our estimated date of completion is January 31, 2019. Please note this is a very rough date and could change in either direction.
I'm following up on the following Freedom of Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on March 13, 2018. You previously indicated that it would be completed on Jan. 31, 2019. I wanted to let you know that I am still interested in the following documents, and to see if that date was still accurate. You had assigned it reference number #18-F-0658.
I am the new Action Officer assigned to facilitate the processing of your request. Thank you for letting us know about your continued interest. Your request is still in the processing queue and has been tasked to an OSD component for search.
It is our policy that each request receives prompt attention, and every effort is made to treat all requesters equally. Unfortunately, the search for the requested records has not been completed. Currently, our administrative workload is approx. 2,890 open requests. Please understand our problem with the volume of requests. I have also requested an updated estimated completion date from the component conducting the search and once I hear from the component, I will update you with that date.
Also, re-scoping or further narrowing your request may potentially facilitate a faster response. For example, identifying specific records (i.e.: official directives or signed memos), the nature or content of the record, or a shorter time-frame or specific dates, may help to narrow the scope of your request. If you want to discuss re-scoping or further narrowing, please feel free to give me a call.
Feel free to reach out any time you would like a status update on your request. My contact information is below.

You had assigned it reference number #18-F-0658.
I am waiting to hear back from the components regarding a new estimated date of completion. Once I hear back I will follow-up with you regarding that as well as clarification or re-scoping your request.
Wilkerson, Antoninette R CIV WHS ESD (USA) would like to recall the message, "[Non-DoD Source] RE: Freedom of Information Act Request #18-F-0658".
Sorry for the delays with processing your request. Your request is still in the processing queue and has been tasked to an OSD component for search. I am still working on getting a new estimated date of completion for you. In the interim, please give me a call if you are interested in re-scoping or further narrowing your request, which may potentially facilitate a faster response.
We were advised that the request as written is overly broad and would require searching through many records, most of which are not likely to be related to media guidance. Courts have stated that a request is reasonably described if the agency is able to determine "precisely" what records are being requested. The "reasonably described" requirement exists because the FOIA was not intended to reduce government agencies to full-time investigators on behalf of requesters. As such, it is the requester's responsibility to frame requests with sufficient particularity to ensure that searches are not unreasonably burdensome, and to enable the searching agency to determine precisely what records are being sought.
We ask that you work with us as we need your cooperation to give us more specifics. Please help us to narrow your request by shedding more light on the records you want. For example, we believe a more efficient search would be accomplished if you limit your request to policies related to a specific event or guidance distributed on a specific type of document.
Please respond by close of business Tuesday, April 23, 2019. |
Delete Your Account: Crooked Lyin' Instagram
Plus: It has not been a good few weeks for Scott Baio
Ira Madison III ira 08/05/2016
Delete Your Account is a weekly column that takes the hot air out of celebrities and their social-media shenanigans. Every Friday, I will decide whether each perpetrator should delete their accounts and never grace the internet again.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz is having the best week ever, because there's a new messy captain of the U.S.S. Scammer. This week, Instagram debuted a new feature called Instagram Stories where you can share videos or photos that will only live on the app for 24 hours. This feature is, of course, a blatant rip-off of Snapchat. Even Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom acknowledged this by saying, "They deserve all the credit." Is theft still theft when you acknowledge it? I don't particularly care, because Snapchat has always been a confusing app to use even for this millennial, who isn't confused by buttons and technology. Instagram has a completely different interface and is much easier to use, as evidenced by the amount of people who've been popping up in my Instagram Stories who I've never seen use Snapchat before. Also, since it's featured at the top of the app, more people tend to see my Stories than have ever double-tapped my regular pictures. I don't know whether that means my friends are petty and scroll by my photos often without liking them, or if now it's easier to actually see content from your friends using Stories. Regardless … I don't have much of a problem with Instagram. The problem I do have is with the salty Snapchat users who've taken to Instagram stories to post their Snapchat handles.
Look, if I wanted to follow you on Snapchat, I already would. And now that I'm being confronted with users' constant stream of thoughts in a much easier way than Snapchat allows, I'm realizing that some of my friends should only be seen and not heard. I liked you better when you just put up an Instagram of your food — I don't need to hear you talking while you cook. Maybe Snapchat is ultimately better because its Darwinian interface means that the older, boring friends of yours will stay far away and keep posting their daily minutiae on Instagram and Facebook instead of the app "the kids" are using. And I don't mean "the kids" in the way that RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Keke Palmer might explain.
Should Instagram Delete Its Account? This Stories feature has got to go. I don't care about these damn people. It's easier to engage with them when it's just a photo, not when they're recording themselves driving to an Applebee's. It also highlights that, unlike Twitter and Facebook, Instagram has no mute button, so now I'm going to have be extra rude and start unfollowing people. Instagram is about to make me lose friends. But Instagram doesn't care. Instagram is cruel.

I feel like the most interesting thing about David Ayer is that every time I see his name, the Flo Rida song "In the Ayer" gets stuck in my head. Aside from that, Ayer is the director of Suicide Squad, the movie people somehow hate more than arguing with Jill Stein supporters on Facebook. I personally haven't seen the film yet, so I have no ill will toward it and I also liked Batman v. Superman, so who knows, maybe I'll like this film that personally killed the lover of every film critic in America and left them on a path of revenge.
Anyway, at the Suicide Squad premiere, Ayer shouted "fuck Marvel!" in a heated moment, and that shit, of course, went viral. He was forced to tweet an apology, but his apology … is a thing to behold. "Respect for my brother filmmakers" is such an interesting thing to say, because why not just say filmmakers? Why point out brothers, unless you're making a point that Marvel has yet to hire a woman to direct any of their Cinematic Universe films, whereas DC has Wonder Woman, directed by Patty Jenkins, set to be released next year? So bravo, Ayer. It's a subtle bit of shade that I didn't actually think straight white men were capable of … though, to be fair, my only interaction with straight white men is via reruns of Scrubs.
Should Ayer Delete His Account? I mean, if he's read even one review of Suicide Squad, hasn't Ayer gone through enough this week?
It has not been a good few weeks for Scott Baio. That's because he's been everywhere shilling for Donald Trump like he's going to green-light a Charles in Charge reboot. He's also been moonlighting as a sexist asshole when it comes to Hillary Clinton and he was appropriately dragged by Tamron Hall. Because Tamron is not here to play with Scott Baio. She has SAG-AFTRA President Andrea Zuckerman on speed dial and she will fuck up the delivery of his Happy Days residual checks.
Now, he's decided it'd be easier going after a fellow TV star who, like him, loves to get messy on social media every few weeks: Rose McGowan. Don't get me wrong, my love for Rose is as strong as her desire to torch every Charmed DVD like she's Left Eye. But there's literally nothing she won't pen an open letter for. Ending sexism in Hollywood … her favorite item going missing from Trader Joe's … petitioning for Ben Affleck to be part of a 20-year Phantoms retrospective in 2018 … you name it. So it should be no surprise that she wrote one to Scott Baio. And thus, a feud was born.
And then Baio went far beyond being Donald Trump's fluffer to being an actual piece of trash. "Keep getting plastic surgery" is a dick move, particularly when your own career is in desperate need of a nip and tuck. Waiting by your phone to get invited to the Arrested Development Season 5 table reading can be hard, I'm sure, but you don't need to fill the time by being a misogynistic barnacle to boot.
What are you even doing, Baio? Is Donald Trump paying you? Do you just get off being the submissive to a masc, dom Trump? Do you enjoy being in the media not because you're landing acting roles, but because you're getting into fights with Starbucks baristas? Fonzie didn't die jumping over that shark for this.
Should Scott Delete His Account?
Antonio Sabato Jr. claims that Hollywood has "blacklisted" him because he spoke at the RNC. Pardon my confusion, but doesn't Hollywood have to know who you are to get blacklisted? Are casting directors really worried about former soap stars who tweet about how Hillary Clinton needs to go to jail? If you're doing a celebrity version of Cupcake Wars, I can guarantee that you weren't about to snag a guest role on Mr. Robot anytime soon.
But if you really do need a job, maybe Sprinkles is hiring?
Should Antonio Delete His Account? Antonio should probably be filling out his unemployment paperwork instead of tweeting all the damn time. |

Prime Argument: Selling the family silver or legitimate reforms?
With Pranab-da out of the picture, cooling his heals in the Rashtrapati Bhawan. The Manmohan Singh government seems to have got going full swing on the neo-liberal reform agenda. I have no views on many of these issues yet. But I sure want to study all of these issues and write about them. Here is a list of what has been doing rounds in the news about economic 'reforms' that have been announced or are likely to be announced.
1) Sale of land holdings to generate cash, Kelkar committee recommendation.
2) Reversal of Tax liability for Vodafone or settling for less tax than is due at a time when Vodafone has been criticized in UK for tax avoidance in that country.
4) 49% FDI in insurance and pension announced on 4-Oct.
The list goes on, since there are more announcements to come before the government falls. Meanwhile the silly market keeps going up in expectation that the reforms will stick. It is funny the stock market does not quite get how democracy works. Political management can only go so far when it comes to keeping a minority government in power. Chidambaram feels minority governments can push reform. PM Manmohan Singh feels that elections are far. Meanwhile Mamata Banerjee gets angrier by the day. Let's see what is the 'Lakshman Rekha' for SP and BSP. Pranab-da made better judgment after all, he will stay in the Presidential Palace full term and his name will go down in history without a blemish, but the Manmohan Singh government is on a much shaky wicket. |
A first-of-its-kind housing project is up and running in the mountains of Colorado. In this episode of Grid Talk, Marty Rosenberg talks with Bryan Hannegan, President and CEO of Holy Cross Energy. Mr. Hannegan explains how a net-zero, all electric community is delivering affordable housing in a Colorado tourism town. He'll rundown the features that are helping homeowners keep energy costs down.
Mr. Hannegan also talks about how this project is an opportunity to take new technologies from the research stage and put them into use in the real world and how unique partnerships are paving the way.
Bryan Hannegan is joined Holy Cross Energy in July of 2017. Before that he was Associate Laboratory Director at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), where he co-founded the US Department of Energy's Grid Modernization Initiative and started up the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF), a unique "distribution grid in a box" enabling utilities, entrepreneurs and consumers to work together on cleaner, more affordable and more reliable energy systems.
Mr. Hannegan holds a Ph.D. in Earth Systems Science and a M.S. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, both from the University of California at Irvine, and a B.S. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma. |
-- Increasing numbers of people now are using astrology to better understand themselves and their relationships, their place in the world, their deep inner self and their ancestral legacy through family dynamics. Typically, a client does want to maximize their potential and realize their goals, but most importantly, they want to know what is going to happen to them and when.
To what degree can astrology address these natural concerns?
There is still no coherent answer to the ages-old inquiry into how astrology 'works' – after a long, slow, deep evolution of my own work, this wonder has "cooked" in my mind but never caused me much alarm, since I know it works, and that is what matters. On a purely intellectual level, there are some reasonable conjectures I have about how it works. It works like any integral system with a core focus and surrounding satellites.
If I can have a relationship with another person, why can't a planet have a relationship with another planet? If Gaia is an organic entity, then why not Mars or Saturn? People form systems of small collectives, constellating around an idea, a family, a cause, a person -- always in motion, always in flux. Similarly planets are also constellating around a focus -- the Sun. (Focus in the Latin means "hearth fire"). So, our family of planets circles around and focuses on its hearth. All the planets, too, are in constant motion, changing their relationships relative to some fixed point -- such as the backdrop of fixed stars (as seen from our Earth perspective) or the zodiac -- and to each other.
The word 'horoscope' comes from the Greek horoskopos, - 'looking at the hour'. To divine or predict an outcome requires a beginning, an origin, a series of cycles within it, as well as a history. Ancient astrology had such an origin concept, which still prevails: the katarche.
A horoscope is a fixed frame of spatial and temporal experience. It is a starting-point from which a systematic and predictable set of planetary movements can be plotted. For example, if a planet is at 1 degree Leo, we know it will be at 2 degrees Leo at a specific time in the future. If it is the moon's motion we are considering, it would be at 2 degrees Leo in a couple of hours; if the Sun, in the next 24 hours; if Mars, then in a few days; if Jupiter, in about 10 days; and so on.
Then, we see the horoscope for what it is: the individuation of the collective system. We individuate the solar system – as we have our natal katarche, our origin, we also have our growth. The second that the umbilicus is cut, the natal planets move to become transits to the natal chart. Every child, for example, is a walking transit of the mother's horoscope of the day when she or he was born . . . parents find this fact fascinating, and when doing comparisons of relationship in families, it is illuminating to experience one's relationship to one's parent in that way – it brings to the constellation of the family a sense of self-generation and uniqueness, within the confines of god knows how many factors, such as DNA, family psychology, family mythic archetypal patterns and so on It especially it relieves the parent of being God . . . and offers children a more objective focus on their parents!
Doing work for businesses also is deeply metaphysical and spiritual. In these times of chaos and changing world order, global evolutionary changes (natural phenomena) loss of soul in the Gaia principle, as well as just plain old astrological/global transit demands and uncertainty, it is an important work to advise people in business.
People who are invested in the practical world of money, time and resources need to take time to soul search, examine their values and direction of their career. Helping with this vision is a responsibility. We can advise them on global trends as well as their personal growth and changes. . I tend to focus on resource management; working with training companies that train larger corporations how to become ecologically sound, thus both profit self and the world; helping small company directors/owners grow safely, and plateau appropriately; when there are signs of difficulty in resources, company policy, workers, and so on . . . all very individually tailored to the client and his or her particular area of endeavor. It is an honorable work to do this because it unites the world of form with the world of spirit . . . and it give solid, hard-core advice!
One very helpful tool involves comparing charts of people in a relationship. Once the horoscopes of the two individuals are compared, they are then blended to create a third chart called a composite. The composite chart is the meeting point – literally the midpoint of each of their planets – of the two individuals' charts, creating a unique picture of the relationship as a living, breathing third entity with its own intent, personality, needs and demands.
The alchemy of this mysterious meeting of two psyches is reflected perfectly in the composite. Not only does it illuminate the relationship, but understanding it can also reduce the stress on each person to fill all the partner's needs. The composite is alive, and by looking at its aspects and transits we see what the relationship is undergoing and how each individual might respond to its needs. Couples find this work exceptional for understanding what they are undergoing and what they are likely to encounter in the future of their relationship as it evolves.
The outcome of hours of work, several incremental and thematic consultations – to keep order in the client's mind and in my own – there are fascinating results, some of which may have been intuited but the confirmation of the astrology is profound. Ultimately, it allows my client to do various things: rites-of-passage toward their family "directives" i.e. "what am I supposed to do with this inheritance of psychological and material and bodily traits?" Also it furthers the client to know where to go to research the family theme/s; what cultures are embedded and perhaps in conflict in their soul; or to understand more peacefully and with greater harmony, why some circumstances exist in their family.
In The Astrology of Family Dynamics there is a story of a family with an autistic son. Doing the work for her and her family, we found some important tasks assigned to her, through her son, as well as his identity as a person, with a unique make-up. It is a good story and a happy story. Truth will out! Secrets are what make us sick, and healing needs light and knowledge.
As Durrell says in his quote at the beginning of this article, the seeds of our future lie implicit in us. And implicit in the natal chart is the seed of that person's future, which the transits constellate and explicate.
As was said earlier, the natal horoscope is a map of the planets at a fixed time and location, while transits reflect the planets as wee see them now, in current time. Transiting planets are an extension of the natal chart. As soon as a person is born, the planets begin to move away from their natal placements, providing an external measurement of growth and development. Just as the infant, cut from the umbilicus, begins its physical and psychological existence separate from the mother, synchronously, the planets 'separate' from the natal horoscope and begin to harmonize with the infant's experience of its new external world.
We are made up as much of our futures as we are of our pasts.
In fact, as we grow older, we are made up much more of our futures than our past. We are drawn on toward what is normally considered an unknown future – though it is not unknown at all! Often what is evolving over time is cryptically evident. The future is enciphered in planetary symbolism; deciphering and rendering it in plan language is the work of the astrologer. We can see the transiting planetary positions for specific dates weeks, years, and decades ahead. An astrologer may see that in two years' time a configuration of one or several aspects in the heavens will be in intimate relationship with natal planets in a horoscope. From this knowledge he or she can articulate the quality and character of the time.
Although coming transits don't force action, we are impelled forward by what lies ahead.
It is rather like looking forward to a journey or a special event. We unconsciously prepare for the advent of an experience. Everyone has a story about how they "knew" something would happen, and retrospect has often shown how we have unconsciously prepared for a moment in time, whether of opportunity, completion, or even tragedy.
This "knowing" reveals a deep affinity between nature and the instinctual self. Choice and volition are clearly present in an individual's life, but my experience also suggests that Fate – the fabric of our life is spun, woven, and cut by the Moirai – also is profoundly apparent, and "written in the stars". People do find themselves in situations that are fated, but what they do with it is their own mysterious work, what may be called their vocation or destiny, is ultimately their individuation process. Becoming more of who one is, guided by the psyche, the soul, the seed person within. This is where the horoscope as an analytical and predictive tool is at its best: it can help one work through the timing and process of breaking through periods of prolonged stress or difficulty.
The horoscope does not always relinquish the information we seek. It does not show what will happen, but what is probable. If we are living in accord with what is truly innate in us, what is probable will happen whether we like it or not. There are individuals who are more "on" than others, whose transits, progressions, and directions are in perfect sync with their spontaneous self-direction. A human being is not a clock, thus changes in one's life do not always tick off as the transits occur.
When predicted probability for change, growth or movement forward is not being activated in people's lives, I have very often seen organic or psychic resistance to transformation. If they have become so isolated from their innate character that they are not "living their life". This "stuck" experience shows in the horoscope through a prolonged series of hard aspects that are at cross-purposes. This state of psychic conflict can result in a long stage of liminal transition. This experience is not always negative; such times of apparently frozen will and liminality can be a gestation period for new growth, and lingering on the threshold can mature the process of change.
On the other hand, there are times when depression or stuckness is a result of suppressing one's nature, when a person is ignoring an urgent message from the deep inner self. The suppressed urge will come out in the end, erupting into the environment as 'fate' or as an event that forces change.
However, if it is denial, lying, drug/alcohol addiction, there is no bridge open between the cosmos and the psyche.
The most undesirable outcome from delaying at the threshold of change is the creativity and spontaneity of the person could wither. This inhibition of natural growth can be a result of too many shocks, tragedies, and losses, especially if they are sequential, with little time to recover, process and absorb. This can lead to cumulative stress, creating a crisis both in soul and body. At such points depression or anxiety can be too profound a barrier between the intent of the unconscious and the conscious ability to enact the soul's need. Even at such times, though, the horoscope can show how to move through these difficulties and, more importantly, can indicate when the process is likely to complete its cycle. Timing for turning points is predictable, and discussing them can help shift the blockage.
However when psychic contents have constellated around a fixed, negative, characteristic and will not/can not loosen or re-organize itself, it results in varying degrees of fixation and sometimes a reactive chemical / neurotransmitter imbalance. Hence, phobias, obsessive compulsive behaviors, acute anxiety, ongoing patterns of anti-social behavior (and I don't mean introversion or shyness or eccentricities, of which all are perfectly normal, and don't need medicating) can be addressed in the horoscope with the client and get to the core of the complex, and work to "break" it up.
And, I cried and cried. For all the men and woman so treated and so crazy. The worst of it is that the Veteran's Association do not deal with this situation well, nor are there any resources now, or they are diminishing, for the increasing population of seriously ill people – ex-warriors or not.
His horoscope depicted a situation in which a decision needed to be taken; his soul, if it hadn't been constricted by his deep cultural ethic, would have divorced and carried on a Western life. I could only empathize with him, saying that fate had brought him to this crux, and that the choice was his. We could work to understand it more fully, and help loosen his resistance, but ultimately it was for him to decide. But he couldn't take the step of divorcing his wife and now lives with the knowledge that he has a special path of being posed between Self and culture.
In an even larger framework, when entire cultures are in the chaos of change, individual volition is diminished, swallowed by the collective. The individual becomes either voice or victim of the collective -- or both. Having done many horoscopes for culturally disenfranchised people, I found that their charts exemplified what their culture was undergoing. The transits in their charts expressly reflected individuals whose lives were entwined in a collective experience.
In predictive work - assessing transits and trends upcoming - the consideration of ethics is paramount.
For example, gratuitous predictions of death are flatly unethical. Death is so personal, mysterious, and usually so anxiety-producing that only the most self-realized individual can consciously know the time of his or her death and respond to it with any dignity or purpose. To state that an individual will die a 'violent death' or suffer 'death by drowning' or to postulate a time of death, as some astrologers have done, is violating a sacred ethic of nature. Death more often shows up in the charts of the living, which mourn and must carry on. I have, as we all have, heard some pretty dreadful stuff coming out of someone's astrology session – the worst I have heard is, literally, "This lifetime is bad, there is no point in asking, the next lifetime will be better." Well, at best that is, stupid, and at worst, dangerous, and in reality, we really do not know if this is true.
However, there are times when discussion of death is both helpful and healthy. I spent much time with a colleague who was dying of AIDS looking at the possible times in which he might become weakened. We both knew astrology exceptionally well, we both knew the illness, we were very close friends, and it was practical to look at timing for trips to make and work to be done. Most importantly for my friend, it was his way to process his spiritual preparation for death. The day of his death, when it came, was marked by a trigger, a powerful astrological aspect that confirmed the spiritual correctness of his passing at that time. In fact it was remarkable and thus confirmed what we both knew. It was Time. It didn't make me much happier, but I did know I was psychopompos for him, and it was our agreement. It was a sacred duty, collusion with the Moirai.
On many occasions, I have consulted with a client about a death that has already happened. One woman found it incredibly profound to see the timing of her 21-year-old daughter's sudden death and to experience it in an astrological framework. It was part of her healing, assisting her in the grief process by helping her to see its larger meaning. Another family lost its father to a lingering topical illness; the survivors consulted about the effect it would have on each child individually so as to personalize the grief process and understand its long-term effects on their own lives. Three children lost their father, each of them lost their own father, a father unique to them, and this showed how that experience was for each child. This process helped the mother be with each child in his and her own way.
The attempt to justify astrology through classical scientific methodology has resulted in unsuccessful attempts to isolate certain characteristics that cannot be quantified in this way.
One cannot determine homosexuality from a horoscope; there are too many ways for sexuality to be expressed. I.Q. is not astrologically quantifiable, though mental quality and affinities are. Nor can evil be measured astrologically. In a television program aired during the OJ Simpson trial, an astrologer claimed it was "inevitable" that O.J. Simpson would murder his wife, Nicole.
Various kinds of illnesses have been said to be astrologically indicated. Is this true? Yes and no.
It is quite amazing how the homeostatic principle is bound into all things. The delicacy of psyche/soma balance is innate in our self. Psyche is "soul" and soma is "body" . . . a psychosomatic condition is not a neurotic state, but a true balancing act. It is an contuous 12th house/6th house dialectic. If the body is not happy with what it is doing, the soul will responds with a depression, or a rage, and various psychological/emotional symptoms. The opposite is true: if the soul is not happy with what the body is doing, it will become symptomatic, it will register in the body in ways which are peculiar to particular planetary configurations, along with DNA and heredity.
Bipolar syndrome (manic-depression) can show up as a Jupiter-Saturn aspect threading through the family; diabetes is reflected in the symbolism of Jupiter-Venus; depression or melancholy is a characteristic of Saturn, as is arthritis, spinal disk problems, joints, and so on; attention-deficit disorder may be a Mercury-Uranus theme, a Gemini/Sagittarius polarity; erotomania may have to do with Mars, Pluto and Venus. In this way, we might find motifs and themes, but we don't find absolutes. These are not rules, but are guideline indicators.
One profound tool for astrological divination that remains to be mentioned is Astro*Carto*Graphy®. An Astro*Carto*Graphy chart is made on a world map. Jim Lewis developed this technique in the early 70's (it had been explored by Johndro and others, whom he credits) to become exceptionally useful and graphically beautiful – and stunningly accurate.
Using an individual's birth data, it shows what planetary influences are strongest in particular parts of the world for that person. Though, as the saying goes, "no matter where you go, there you are", it is also true that different aspects of the psyche are more activated in certain locations. Someone may find, for example, that on a Mercury line in his or her Astro*Carto*Graphy chart, concerns with intellect, communications and wit predominate, while love, sexuality and esthetics occupy center stage on a Venus line.
A*C*G is in mundo, in other words, it is the planets looking down at earth, while horoscopes are earth looking around/up at the heavens! Working with both together is phenomenal.
We all know that travel changes perspective and awakens sleeping characteristics. So can moving to another part of the world; this is why Astro*Carto*Graphy is exceptional in helping one decide where to relocate. I have used it to advise companies where to open a franchise or new branches, where to import from and export to. It is also unique in highlighting certain aspects of relationships: more often than not, someone close to us - friend or lover - was born on a significant line on our Astro*Carto*Graphy map, and they on one of ours.
In an expert hand, astrology offers an elegant illumination of the human condition, enabling the practitioner to tease out innumerable issues in a client's life, a perspective on his or her NOW, and give a good sense of direction for the future. There may be nothing new under the Sun, but the way we perceive things is always new, every second that passes -- and this is the greatest asset astrological counsel can offer.

Ultimate Guide to Latin American Slang and Spanish Dialects
By Carla Dager
There can be crucial differences in the meanings of certain words and phrases among (and within) different Latin countries. This list contains widely known and also peculiar words, expressions and Latin American slang in eight countries. Categories range from romance and partying to work and food.
As a teaching assistant for an intermediate college-level Spanish course, my job entails facilitating weekly discussion sections where students can develop their conversational skills and fluency in the language. After working in this position for two semesters, I have had over thirty students with diverse backgrounds in Spanish. Because of that, my sections are more than often a melting pot of a variety of accents and colloquialisms of different countries (including those of my home country of Ecuador, of course).
The Spanish dialect spoken in most of Argentina and Uruguay is called Rioplatense Spanish, after the Río de la Plata Basin (the hydrographical area encompassing northern Argentina, most of Uruguay, all of Paraguay, and parts of Bolivia and Brazil). Historically, it has been influenced by several languages, such as Italian, Basque and Galician.
It has incorporated words and expressions not only from French and English but also from the indigenous Quechua and Guaraní. Rioplatense Spanish is usually recognized for the voseo (using the pronoun "vos" instead of the more common "tú" for the second person singular) and the sheísmo (pronouncing "ll" and "y" as the "s" in "measure").
Common expressions:
¿Qué hacés?/¿Qué contás?: In Argentina, friends don't greet each other with a standard "¿Cómo estás?" ("How are you?") but rather ask "What are you doing?" or "What can you tell me?" (the equivalent of "What's up?"). They usually add a friendly "boludo" (or "jerk") at the end.
Pibe: A guy. A young man will call his group of male friends "los pibes". According to experts, the word comes from the Italian Genoese "pive", which means "apprentice" or "errand boy".
Rancho: Argentine teens call their best friend their "rancho" (which means "ranch" in English). The word can also be used to refer to your house.
Fresca: This word, which literally means "cool" or "chilly", is slang for beer. Another word for "beer" is "birra", which is also the Italian word for it, a fact that shows the heavy influence of this country's immigration to Argentina.
Previa: Literally, "previous". The Argentine equivalent of a "pregame", or the act of drinking alcoholic beverages before heading out to a party. This is also used in Chile!
Boliche: In Argentina and Uruguay, a "boliche" is a nightclub. In other countries, this word means "bowling alley" and the word for nightclub is "discoteca".
Ponerse en pedo: Literally, "to put oneself in a fart". This expression is used to denote the act of getting drunk. E.g. "¡Vamos a ponernos en pedo esta noche!" ("Let's get drunk tonight!").
Laburo: A word derived from the Italian "lavoro", which means work. The verb "laburar" ("to work") is also commonly used.
Asado: An argentine typical dish consisting of beef and other meats cooked on a grill or "parrilla". The word is also used to refer to the social event of attending a barbecue. In other Latin American countries, the word for "barbecue" is "parrillada". E.g. "Hay un asado en mi casa este fin de semana" ("There's a barbecue at my house this weekend").
Cheto: A person of high socioeconomic status who is usually conceited or vain.
Alto: Literally, "high". When used before a noun, it means "awesome" or "great", e.g. "¡Alta fiesta!" ("Great party!").
Chilean Spanish is very distinctive from other dialects in terms of pronunciation, grammar, and slang. It has been influenced by Rioplatense Spanish and the Spanish spoken in Andalusia in Spain. It has incorporated words from the Mapuche and Quechua languages, as well as from French, German and English.
This accent is characterized by a very fast and "jumping" intonation, the quasi-elimination of the sound /s/ (especially at the end of words), the pronunciation of "ch" as "ts" (as in pizza), and a particular form of voseo that involves corresponding voseo verbs (e.g. using "vos sabís" instead of "tú sabes" or "you know").
¿Cómo estái?: The Chilean version of "¿Cómo estás?", using voseo verbs. Friends will usually add a friendly "weón" (or "fool") at the end.
Pololo/a: Boyfriend or girlfriend.
Copete: The generic term for "alcohol". A more specific drink is a "piscola", which is a mix of pisco (a colorless brandy produced in Chile and Perú) and any form of fizzy soft drink.
Carretear: To party. It can mean anything from hanging out and having fun with friends to partying wildly. E.g. "Salgamos a carretear el viernes" ("Let's go out and party on Friday").
Estar arriba de la pelota: To be drunk (literally, "to be on top of the ball"). E.g. "Solo se tomó una piscola y ya está arriba de la pelota" ("She only drank one piscola and she's already drunk").
Pega: Used for "job" or "office".
Chuparse los bigotes: Literally, "to lick one's mustache". It is a common expression of praise for delicious food and the Chilean equivalent of KFC's slogan "Finger lickin' good". E.g. "¡Este plato está para chuparse los bigotes!" ("This dish is very delicious!").
Cuico: A person of high socioeconomic status who is usually conceited and politically conservative.
Filete: Literally "filet" or "steak". Used to express something is awesome, as in "Esta fiesta estuvo muy filete" ("This party was great").
¿Cachái? (or cachay): The second-person singular of the verb "cachar". The verb is believed to have been borrowed from "catch" and it means "to get" or "to understand". E.g. "¿Se puso muy weon, cachái?" ("He became such a jerk, you know what I mean?")
Colombian Spanish is a geographical term used to describe the varieties of Spanish spoken in the different dialectal zones in the country. The most widely recognized dialects are the Paisa and the Rolo, or Bogotá. The former is characterized by the voseo and a very specific pronunciation of the letter "s" (a transition between a standard "s" and the way Argentines pronounce "ll" or "y"), while the latter uses the pronoun "usted" for the second person singular. The use of the diminutive forms "-ico" and "–ica" is widespread in Colombia (e.g. Colombians will say "chocolatico" instead of the more standard "chocolatito" for the diminutive of "chocolate").
¿Quiubo?: A compression of "¿Qué hubo?" ("What was?"), used to greet people. It is common for close friends or even friendly strangers to add "parcero" or its shortened version "parce" at the end, a word from paisa slang meaning "friend".
Parche: Literally, "patch". Used to refer to a meeting place or a group of friends. E.g. "Hagamos una fiesta con los del parche" ("Let's have a party with our group of friends").
Jincho: Drunk (In Spain, however, the word is usually understood as a derogatory term for drug consumers).
Guayabo: Botanically, a guayabo is a guava tree. In Colombia, however, the word is the equivalent of "hangover". The corresponding adjective is "enguayabado".
Camello: "Camello" (the Spanish word for "camel") is the noun for "work", whereas "camellar" is its corresponding verb.
Tinto: Literally, an adjective that refers to a very dark red. While in other places a "tinto" denotes "red wine", in Colombia it refers to "black coffee". A common variation is the diminutive "tintico".
Gomelo: A person of high socioeconomic status who is usually conceited and superficial. The word comes from the stereotype that rich people are usually dressed up and use "gomina" (hair gel).
Bacano: An adjective to describe something "good" or "cool". A variation is the word "berraco" (which means "brave" in Ecuador and "sexually aroused" in Spain or Mexico).
Dar papaya: Literally, "to give papaya". In a few Latin American countries, when something is "papaya" it means that it is "easy". Therefore, "dar papaya" refers to unnecessarily giving others the opportunity to take advantage of oneself.
Costa Rican Spanish varies by province. For instance, the form spoken in provinces in the north has similarities with Nicaraguan Spanish, while the form spoken in the Caribbean province has influences from Creole English and Jamaican patois. Ticos (the demonym for people from Costa Rica) use the pronouns "usted" and "vos" for the second person singular (the former is more formal, while the latter is used with friends and family) as opposed to the more standard "tú".
The slang in Costa Rica is known as pachuco, and it incorporates words and expressions from indigenous languages, French, Italian, Jamaican patois, Creole English and Malespín (a kind of Central American slang that originated in El Salvador in the 19th century).
Pura vida: Literally, "pure life". This expression is the tico answer to the question "¿Cómo estás?" ("How are you?"). It means "great" or "fantastic". It can also be used as a greeting or a valediction.
Mae: A guy. It can be used among friends as in the American "dude".
Zarpe: A word used to refer to the last alcoholic drink of the night or last round.
Estar de goma: Literally, "to be of glue". This expression is translated as "being hungover". The origin of this word is quite interesting: a hangover is called a "goma" because "la goma pega" ("the glue sticks") and in Costa Rica, "pega" is used to refer to an unpleasant situation (and it is safe to say that having a hangover is very unpleasant).
Brete: A noun for "work".
Jamar: To eat. A variant is the word "monchar", which is believed to be derived from the English "to munch".
Tuanis: A word used to denote something "nice", "cool" or "awesome".
Pipi: A person of high socioeconomic status who wears designer brands and is very superficial.
Hacer un MacGyver: Literally, "to do a MacGyver". This expression is derived from the '80s American show "MacGyver", whose eponymous main character was a secret agent who solved complex problems. Thus, "to do a MacGyver" means to find a solution with what you have at hand.
Vara: "Thing" or "stuff". This is the Costa Rican variant of "vaina", which is used in a number of other Latin American countries. It can be used in countless expressions, such as "¿Qué es la vara?" ("What's the deal?") or "Toda esa vara" ("All that stuff").
Diay: An all-purpose word which can mean anything from "hey" and "so" to "obviously" and "what happened?" E.g. "Y diay, José, ¿cómo te ha ido?" ("And so, José, how have you been?") or "—¿Vas a salir hoy en la noche? —Diay, sí" ("—Are you going out tonight? —Obviously, yes"
Cuban Spanish has been influenced by indigenous Taíno, English, French, West African languages and even Portuguese and Russian. Some of the key characteristics of this dialect include: the elimination of the sound /s/ (usually at the end of words but also in words such as "espalda" [back], which is pronounced "epalda"); the pronunciation of "r" as "l" (as in "celdo" instead of "cerdo" [pig]); and the non-inversion and redundant use of pronouns in questions (Cubans will say "¿Qué tú quieres?" instead of the standard "¿Qué quieres?").
¿Qué bola?: Literally, "What ball?". This expression is the Cuban way of asking "How are you?". Friends usually accompany it with "acere" (or "friend").
Janguear: This word comes from the English verb "to hang" and it means "to talk with friends" or "to hang out with friends". E.g. "Vamos a janguear un rato" ("Let's go talk for a while").
Jeva: Girlfriend.
Coger nota/Coger curda: Literally, "to take a note". In Cuba it means "to get drunk".
Pincha: A noun for "work". The corresponding verb is "pinchar" ("to work").
Darse lija: Literally, "to give oneself sandpaper". It means "to be pretentious or ostentatious". E.g. "Tremenda lija que se da este tipo" ("This guy is so stuck-up").
Yuma: A word used to refer to Americans. It can also mean "the United States" or "abroad" as in the expression "Irse pa'l yuma", which is "to go to the United States" or "to go abroad". E.g. "Por ahí viene un yuma" ("There comes an American") or "Mi hermano vive en el yuma" ("My brother lives in the United States").
Tocao: An adjective to describe something "nice" or "cool".
The three macrodialects spoken in Ecuador correspond to the four regions in the country. Equatorial Coastal Spanish is spoken in the Galápagos Islands and the Coastal mainland. It comprises a number of subdialects, but one characteristic common to all is the aspiration of /s/. People in the highlands speak Andean Spanish, which is more influenced by the indigenous kichwa language and uses the voseo for friends and family. Finally, Amazonic Spanish, which is very similar to the Andean variation, is spoken in the eponymous region.
¿Qué fue?: Literally, "What was?". This expression is a common Ecuadorian way of asking "How are you?".
Pana/Broder/Mijín: Words to refer to a close friend. The first two, however, can be used by friendly strangers to establish contact with others. "Broder" comes the English word "brother", whereas "Mijín" is a diminutive of the affectionate "Mijo" (a contraction of the phrase "mi hijo" or "my son").
Pelado/a: Literally, "peeled". This word has a number of meanings, including "boyfriend/girlfriend" or "kid". It can also be used in the expression "Estar pelado" ("to be peeled"), which refers to not having any money.
Lanzar/tirar los perros: This expression refers to "throwing the dogs at someone" whom you are trying to seduce, comparing the act of seduction to a hunt. E.g. "Ese man te está tirando los perros" ("That guy is trying to seduce you").
Biela: A beer.
Preli: This word is the shortened version of the Spanish word for "preliminary", and like the Argentine "previa" it is the equivalent of a "pregame", or drinking alcoholic beverages before heading out to a party.
Hacerse funda/bolsa: Literally, "to make oneself a bag". It refers to drinking very heavily. E.g. "Me hice funda en la fiesta de anoche" ("I got wasted at the party last night").
Chuchaqui: A hangover. It comes from the Quichua "chaqui", which is the state of discomfort that follows the act of chewing coca leaves.
Camellar: A verb meaning "to work", like in Colombia.
Jamear: To eat. This verb is similar to the Costa Rican "jamar" and is used in Peru as well.
Aniñado/Pelucón: "Aniñado" is an adjective derived from the word "niño" (or "kid"), whereas "Pelucón" refers to someone who wears a wig. Both words allude to a person of high socioeconomic status.
Bacán: Similar to the Colombian "bacano", this word is employed to describe something "nice" or "cool". A common variant is "chévere" which is widely used in Latin America.
Once: Literally, "eleven". This word means "to be focused in what you are doing" or "to be alert". E.g. "Tienes que estar once; cuidado con los ladrones" ("You have to be alert; watch out for thieves")
While foreigners usually associate the label "Mexican Spanish" with the form of Spanish spoken in Mexico City and central Mexico, Mexico has around ten dialects spoken in different areas of the country. The vocabulary and intonation of the different varieties of Mexican Spanish have been influenced by the indigenous Nahuatl, Mayan and Zapotec languages. For example, a lot people will use "guajolote" (a word of Nahuatl origin) instead of the standard "pavo" for "turkey".
¿Qué onda?: Literally, "What wave?". This expression is a common way of asking someone else how they are doing. It can be accompanied by a friendly "güey" (also spelled "wey", which can mean "friend" or "guy").
Cuate/carnal: Both words are used for close friends. Literally, "cuate" is a fraternal twin, whereas "carnal" means "pertaining to the flesh".
Pedo: Literally, "fart". "Estar pedo" ("to be pedo") means "to be drunk", but the word "pedo" can have a variety of meanings. For example, it can also refer to a complex situation or problem.
Cruda: Literally, "raw". This word means "hangover".
Chirria/Chela: A beer. "Chela" is a commonly used word for beer in many Latin American countries.
Mala copa: Literally, "bad glass". This expression refers to a person who behaves unpleasantly when they are drunk.
Chamba: A noun for "work". It is also used in other Latin American countries. The corresponding verb is "chambear" ("to work").
Fresa: Literally, "strawberry". A derogatory term to refer to people of high socioeconomic status, who are usually conceived as being pretentious or conceited. The opposite of fresa is a "naco" (which comes from "nacido corriente" or "born uncouth"), which refers to a person who lacks good manners and does things that are commonly looked down upon by society, or just has bad taste.
Padre/Chido/Chingón: Words to refer to something "cool" or "awesome".
Neta: Literally, the female variant of "neto" or "net" as in "free from all charges or deductions; final". This word can be used as an adjective to refer to something "true" or as a noun ("la neta") to talk about "the truth".
Pinche: It is an adjective generally used to describe something contemptible or of bad quality. It can also be used as an adverb in order to emphasize the meaning of an adjective. Thus, it isn't exclusively used for insults as the meaning provided would suggest. E.g. "Ramiro es un pinche tonto" ("Ramiro is a damn fool")
In Peru, Spanish was initially only spoken by Spaniards and mestizos. This continued to be the case up until the twentieth century when the majority of the population in the highlands was still speaking the indigenous Quechua language. The heavy influence of the latter is responsible for the widespread confusion of gender, number, and agreement in two of the Peruvian dialects, Andean and Amazonic Spanish. Equatorial Spanish is spoken in Tumbes, located close to the border with Ecuador.
The "standard" Peruvian Spanish is the limeño, spoken by people from the country's capital, Lima. Two very distinctive characteristics of this dialect include the strong pronunciation of /rr/ and /r/ and a palatal pronunciation of "j" and "g" (before "e" or "i"). The use of the augmentative form "-azo" is widespread in Peru, e.g. "solazo" (from "sol" or "sun").
Habla: This is the second-person singular conjugation of the verb "hablar" ("to speak"). Some peruvians use it to greet friends.
Pata/Choche/Causa: Words used to refer to a close friend. As is common in Latin America, however, they can also be used by strangers to establish a friendly rapport with each other.
Collera: Literally, a "horse collar". This word is used to refer to your group of friends.
Afanar: In standard Spanish, this verb means "to do something with dedication and interest". In Peru, however, it is used to describe the act of seducing or flirting with someone. E.g. "Se pasó la fiesta afanando a la rubia" ("He spent all night flirting with the blonde")
Choque y fuga: Literally, "crash and flight". This expression refers to a one-night stand. E.g. "José no es mi novio, solo tuvimos un choque y fuga" ("José is not my boyfriend, we only had a one-night stand")
Tono: Literally, a "tone". A word used for "party". E.g. "Tengo un tono este viernes" ("I have a party this Friday")
Chancha: Literally, a "female pig". A noun that refers to the sacred pool of money used exclusively to buy alcohol. Similar to the Ecuadorian "vaca" (a "female cow"). E.g. "Ya pues, hagamos una chancha para comprar las cervezas" ("Okay, let's pool our money to buy beer")
Huasca: An adjective to refer to someone who is drunk.
Pituco: A person of high socioeconomic status; posh or elegant. This word is also used in Chile.
Paja: Literally, "straw". When used in the expression "¡Qué paja!" it refers to an ideal or happy situation, but it can refer to the act of masturbating in a range of Latin American countries. For example, if your favorite song starts playing at a party, you would exclaim "¡Qué paja!"
¡A su madre!: Literally, "to their mother". It can be shortened to "¡A su!" and it expresses surprise or pain.
Pe': A contraction of "pues" (a Spanish word with a number of meanings including "well", "since", "so", "then"). It is very common to hear it in the limeño slang, as in the greeting "Habla, pe'" ("So, speak").
This list was created as a resource so that my students can understand how the cultural diversity of Latin America is reflected in the variety of colloquialisms used in the region and so it is by no means comprehensive. I encourage you to visit Latin America if you want to experience all of this dialectal and cultural richness (or apply what you have learned in this guide!).

Dispatcher's Desk 6
Robert Amsler, Jr.
Last time I discussed freight operations and hinted at passenger operations. This time I am writing about the passenger operations.
Passenger trains operated on a regular schedule (as opposed to steam runs which are popular today) can be of three types. There are commuter trains, which run between business districts and the suburbs where the workers live; accommodations, which stop at each station along the route; and limiteds, which have only specified stops to make between the origination and destination points.
Commuter trains have been around for some time. The Missouri Pacific, at one time, ran a commuter train on its line out of St. Louis through Kirkwood. Today, Metrolink operates between Lindbergh Airport and downtown St. Louis with expansion plans into Illinois, South County and St. Charles. In Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles, to name a few cities, trains are run on schedule and get the worker to his job. Unlike Metrolink, some of these lines must compete with freight trains. Such operations can be a source of fun if modeled.
Accommodation trains are the locals of the passenger trains. They stop at each station and allow a passenger the ability to stop at an out of the way town where the limiteds only breeze through. These trains have a lower priority and do not run very quickly. Sometimes these are mixed trains and the transportation might be in a coach or a combine tacked on the end of a local, or even a caboose. These add interesting operations problems when trying to run a railroad.
Limiteds are the name trains we all think of when we think of passenger trains. These are the trains with the biggest power, newest equipment and best reputation on the railroad. Management notices whenever the train is late because this train is the pride of the company. It might consist of some baggage cars, mail cars, a railway post office car, some coaches, sleeping cars, a diner, and an observation car.
In all trains, the "head end" cars (baggage, mail and rpo) are usually on the front of the train. The diner is usually in the middle to accommodate the passengers so that no one has to walk the entire length of the train to get to the food and drinks. The sleepers are usually behind the diner but do not have to be there. Sleepers are cars which may be added to a consist or switched while in route. It is not unheard of for a train to set out a sleeper at a station for it to be placed in the consist of another train headed to a different city. For example, a train headed from Chicago to Washington could set out a sleeper in Pennsylvania to connect with a train going to Florida. Amtrak at one time (I am not sure if this still happens since the recent cuts) had a car from the last Kansas City to St. Louis daily train which was then run to Illinois where it met with the City of New Orleans and ran into Chicago.
The operational consequences are important. Which train has right of way between the accommodation train and the coal drag? Switching of sleepers or coaches might have to be done between passenger trains. Modeling these can create fun for the modeler who freelances. If you model a specific railroad, get an old timetable which lists the passenger trains and copy the operation. Watch for connections with other trains.
Passenger trains are a good way of adding operational interest to a layout. Look at how the railroads ran theirs and either model that or use this information to create an operation plan for your own freelance railroad.
Until the next issue, I hope that all of the signals you see are green over red.

One of the key benefits I can see from moving to JSS is the way developers can work with the different tools. In particular the lure of Hot Module Replacement (HMR) adds such a lot of positives for development speed. Therefore its key we don't lose this capability - building the whole JSS project for every change would not be a good solution.
In the non-jss world we are achieving the /fr url chunk via config in <sites> for the french site of: virtualFolder="/fr" physicalFolder="/fr"
When running in connected mode, there is an Express server that runs next to your JSS app (by default at localhost:3000). However, your app is making requests to your Sitecore instance via whatever URL you've defined in the layoutServiceHost property in scjssconfig.json.
That means you can modify the layoutServiceHost property to use whatever site hostName is appropriate for the <site /> nodes you have defined in your Sitecore instance.
If you need to modify the layoutServiceHost value at runtime, for instance to reflect some URL fragment or parameter, then you can do so wherever you make a call to dataApi.fetchRouteData (or "globally" in your app wherever you resolve routes). The JSS sample apps make that call in the RouteHandler component (in React and Vue), and you'll see in the getRouteData method of that component that it sets the layoutServiceConfig.host property to the config.sitecoreApiHost value. That value, by default, comes from scjssconfig.json, but as mentioned it can come from anywhere or be modified prior to usage. |

The event is targeted towards large projects and medium to large enterprises wishing to discuss their existing licence compliance processes. Parties attending are expected to contribute to issues ranging from process development through to optimising purchasing contract language for the benefit of the European Free Software community.
Harald Welte and Armijn Hemel will be attending to represent gpl-violations.org, and Dr. Till Jaeger will deliver a talk on licence enforcement. Ciaran O'Riordan (FSFE Brussels and patent issue representative), Shane Coughlan (FSFE legal coordinator) and Marko Milenovic (FTF team member) will represent FSFE.
This workshop has limited space available and therefore attendance is by invitation only. Projects and companies interested in attending this event should contact the FTF at ftf at fsfeurope.org.
The European Licensing and Legal Workshop for Free Software is one of the activities of FSFE's Freedom Task Force, also known as the FTF. The FTF is an infrastructure project that can help individuals, projects and businesses understand Free Software licensing and the opportunities that it presents. The FTF works in partnership with gpl-violations.org to deal with licence violations in the European arena.
The FTF undertakes several activities, ranging from the operation of a European Legal and Technical Network which currently covers sixteen European countries and with contacts around the world through to delivering training and consultancy in Free Software licensing. It provides a variety of services for individuals, community projects and commercial businesses with the aim of fostering best practice throughout the industry. |
It's that time of year again, the largest agricultural show in the Southern Hemisphere in Mystery Creek, New Zealand, known as Fieldays. Considering New Zealand is such an agricultural based economy, Fieldays is a relatively big deal.
Since I can remember I have been going along to Fieldays with my Grandfather, a tradition I will continue tomorrow. When I was a young kid between the ages of 8-13 years I used to spend hours in the shed building all sorts of weird and wonderful contraptions. One day leading up to Fieldays I decided, along with the help of my Grandfather, that we needed to enter something into the young innovator's competition.
After some time thinking long and hard about what we could create to enter the competition, We entered a piece of bent number 8 wire. A year or so before I had been boosting down the farm track on my 50cc motorbike when out of nowhere I was taken out by a tape gate that I hadn't seen. My bike went flying and I was left flat on my back. This special piece of number 8 wire that I was entering into the Innovators competition was to solve this problem- it would enable people to see tape gates rather than flying through them on their motorbikes. The wire we created was bent into a similar shape as a fishing hook and it connected to the tape gate. When a large amount of tension was applied to it, the gate would pop open.
I spent four days at the Fielday's manning my stand and enthusiastically demonstrating to people how my bent piece of number 8 wire worked. On the final day, I was informed that I had won $500, which was huge money to me at that stage. I'm sure my Grandfather had probably spent a bit more than that getting it all together, but it didn't matter. I was stoked!
I find the best designs tend to be the simplest. This is a classic example considering our winning design could not have been much more simple than a bent piece of number 8 wire. Perhaps you could go and make some sort of sensor that would detect a motorbike coming and retract the gate, or you can just jimmy up something like this which serves the same purpose in a much simpler way. I tend to find that some of the most creative people are farmers, welders, mechanics and the likes, who are creative out of necessity. These sort of people will look at a problem in the most basic sense and work it out rather than trying to make it too complicated.
Also on a side note, grandparents are great! As I am writing this I am thinking about the wonderful time I had with my Grandfather going to and from the Fieldays, sharing cups of tea and showing people our contraption. |

The most notable trend in Africa on the week of July 22nd was the rise in violence involving Islamist militants across a number of countries.
In Somalia, Al Shabaab carried out multiple operations across southern regions. The group claimed responsibility for several IED and grenade explosions targeting government officials and troops in Mogadishu, Baidoa, Belet Weyne, Afgooye and Kismayo throughout the week. On July 23rd, they simultaneously attacked the military bases of Bar-Sanguni and Baarka in Kismayo in Lower Juba. While they were forced into retreat in Nar-Sanguini after 87 of their troops were reportedly killed, they overtook the Baarka base, claiming 27 fatalities on the government's side. The next day, they were repelled after another attack on a Somali military base in the Middle Shabelle region.
In Nigeria, Boko Haram also sustained a high pace of attacks, with ambushes on military forces in Borno and Yobe states and several higher profile incidents of violence against civilians. For example, on July 22nd Boko Haram militants reportedly killed 18 civilians in the Lake Chad region. The next day, a suicide bomber attacked a mosque at the Mainari village also in the Lake Chad area, killing a further eight people.
In Burkina Faso, Islamic State (Greater Sahara) militants opened a new front in the Est region, carrying out several attacks against police forces, forest guards and civilians in the Fada Ngourma department. Simultaneously, Ansaroul Islam militants attacked civilians in the Sahel region.
Lastly, in Egypt, the government's military operations against State of Sinai militants in North Sinai continued. One of the militants' local leaders, Abou Jaafar al-Maqdesi, died in clashes with the government troops in Rafah early in the week, whilst another 13 reportedly died in a shoot-out with the police in al-Arish on July 24th. For the first time, reports mentioned the presence of local communities working alongside Egyptian security forces in Operation Sinai 2018 to drive out the militants.
Elsewhere on the continent in the week of July 22nd, Ethiopia displayed continuous instability, whilst Mali remained a regional hotbed of tensions.
In Ethiopia, anti-Oromo violence persisted in various parts of the country. Although it continues to largely involve violence by the Liyu police paramilitaries in the Oromia region (lately around the Chinaksen woreda in East Harerge), an attack by Benishangale residents on Oromo civilians in Asosa, Benshangul‐Gumaz region, on July 22nd, might suggest a broader anti-Oromo trend in the country. This trend may be linked to the recent progress of the new Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed (an Oromo). Religious tensions also ran high in the Oromia and Amhara regions last week: Christian and Muslim militias clashed in Goba in Bale zone over the removal of a symbolic statue in the town, while two Muslim sects clashed in Dessie in Debub Wollo over the ownership of a local mosque. Finally, the resumption of protests in Jijiga against the Somali region's controversial governor, Abdi Illey, was met by police violence, whilst the murder of the chief engineer of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in Addis Ababa sparked protests in his hometown of Gonder on July 26th.
In Mali, intercommunal violence, particularly between militiamen from the Fulani and Dozo communities in the Mopti region, showed no signs of abating. In one incident on July 25th, 17 Fulani people reportedly died when Dozo militiamen attacked the village of Somena near Djenne. Katiba Macina militants also increased their activity ahead of the country's presidential elections on July 29th, laying several ambushes and mortar attacks against the Malian forces in the Mopti and Segou regions and attacking the convoy of the presidential candidate from the Democratic Alliance for Peace (ADP-Maliba) in the Koulikouro region. As Malians went to cast their ballots on July 29th, no major incidents were reported, apart from several low-key violence, sabotage and intimidation mostly in the center and the north resulting in the closure of dozens of polling stations.
Lastly, tensions slightly rose in the context of municipal parliamentary elections in some parts of Uganda and in the lead up to presidential elections in Zimbabwe. In Uganda, supporters of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) were stabbed and beaten by opposition supporters from the opposition JEEMA and Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) in Bugiri and Apac on July 23rd. The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) mayoral candidate in Rukiga district was also beaten by unidentified attackers on that day. In Zimbabwe, violence by supporters of the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union‐Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) against their key opponents from the Movement for Democratic Change – Alliance faction (MDC) slightly increased as the July 30th elections neared, though violence between factions of the MDC was also reported on a few occasions. |
British Chef Harvey Trollope wants to showcase British food and help it find its rightful place on the London food map. Cue his new restaurant concept - Harvey's British Eatery – focusing on good quality British cooking without the frills. Menus are inspired by forgotten recipes from our rich heritage and making the most of the amazing range of seasonal produce the British Isles has to offer.
Harvey's fascination with food started at the age of 16; the discipline, pressure to produce dishes in a short amount of time and creative process led him to pursue his passion, first training as a commis chef alongside a BA in Fine Art. After graduating, Harvey left London to perfect his skills in the food capitals of France and Italy.
During his seven years in Europe, he trained with Chefs at notable two Michelin-starred restaurants including Le Palme D'or in Cannes, Leon de Lyon and Le Mére Brazier. Living abroad, Harvey was awakened to a food culture that he had not really encountered in the UK. One that makes local cuisine accessible; where anyone can step into a neighbourhood restaurant and order the dish of the day, made with seasonal and local produce, simple and delicious, at an affordable price.
With a vision to develop Harvey's British Eatery one day, he returned to London as sous-chef at Wheeler's of St James, working with legendary British Chef, Marco Pierre White and then premier sous chef, working with John Williams at British institution, The Ritz. Other accomplishments include private chef commissions at Necker Island. |

Recently returned from working with asylum seekers and refugees in Malta, Doug Marshall told Jenny Muscat how his perspective on Christmas has shifted thanks to his experience there.
Reflection questions for groups
If you are listening with your small group, you may like to reflect on some of these questions together:
What was the one thing that most struck you when you were listening?
What phrase or thought found an echo in your own experience or spiritual journey?
Were there any common threads that linked the mission work of the people you've listened to and the needs of your local area?
Does what you've heard inspire you to do anything in particular in response?
What one prayer need will you commit to carry with you over the coming month and regularly pray for?
Voiceover: Hello and welcome to another Church Mission Society podcast. We try and bring together stories from people across the globe who are involved in God's mission so that you can pray, learn and participate in mission too. To discover more stories, visit churchmissionsociety.org.
Jenny Muscat: Hi, this is Jenny and I'm with Doug Marshall, who's recently returned with his family from Malta as a mission partner. So Doug, can you tell me a bit about what you were all doing?
Doug Marshall: Yes, so Malta, which is in the Mediterranean, just south of Italy. Some people are not sure. So you've got to be clear.
It's a very small island. Highest population density within Europe. And as you're probably aware, there's a lot of migration from Libya and North Africa to Europe. And Malta is part of what we call the central Mediterranean route. Obviously, this is an unofficial route. So people are smuggled across and probably people are aware of a lot of what's gone on regarding that and various agreements being made or tried to be made with the Libyan government. So it's a lot of people facing either getting on a boat, going to Europe or the thought of staying in North Africa and trying to go back to wherever they've come from is impossible, because often that journey, if they've come from central east or West Africa, that journey has been harrowing. I mean, you need to take a look at a map and see exactly where you have to go through. And what they've experienced by the time they reach the North African shore is often as bad as what first displaced them. So it's almost a no brainer when you're sitting there thinking, if I can get on a boat and just try and make it to Europe, I'm going to do that. And if I die trying, so be it. So that is often where a person's at by the time they arrive in Malta. And often they don't know where or what Malta is. I mean, most people don't, it's a very small island. I think the archipelago can fit within the M25 about five times. So have a think about that. People arrive and the reception is not ideal, shall we say. And as a result, there's a lot of isolation. There's not a lot of support. Mental health is quite an important issue amongst refugees and a lot of them struggle with it.
So how do we come alongside people? Because I really think we need to do that. If we start to say, well, they are a category of person, i.e. refugee. We categorize and I think we know from what Christ has told us that to categorize is not the thing to do. How do we come alongside someone who is different to us and how – should we even be asking the question, how do we demonstrate our humanity? Maybe we're at a problem already if we ask asking how to demonstrate our humanity. So a lot of what we were doing was very much relational work coming alongside people. And like I say, for some people, it's all of five minutes. For some people it's been five years and we've been alongside and you've seen them grow and develop and wrestle with the issues and often with things far beyond what any of us have experienced. And so in that respect, it's also humbling for us because I've never had to flee my home. I've never had a gun stuck to my head. And I've not had extortion or political bias where someone is threatening my life because of that. So we're dealing with a host of things and whereas there are services available. What people really need, they need to be identified and recognized as another human being with all the hopes, desires, fears that we all have. And so that's a lot of what our work has been, is to help break the isolation that people have experienced or are currently experiencing, because once they arrive in safe Europe and yes, no one's trying to kill them. That's great. That is a definite step forward. There's still a long road ahead. So it's by no means over on arrival.
Jenny Muscat: Great, thank you. And so you came back to the UK over the summer as a family to settle back into life here. And now we're approaching the festive season, Christmas is coming. With all of the busyness and commercial realities of Christmas in the UK, how do you approach that? How do you adjust to that coming from working with the marginalised and the outsider? Does it shift your perspective on Christmas?
Doug Marshall: I think it shifted a while ago.
And so in a sense, it's not as shocking, although you still you sometimes go into the shops. And I think because it's – the commercial aspect of it now and it's consumerism's high holidays, if you will. There's no other time of the year where we spend so much money on anything and everything. I think the main – yes toys are a big thing. So of course, the toy companies make a lot of money. There's the chocolate companies seem to be trying to dominate the entire market from January to December. Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas. You know, you get the picture, but coming in and seeing that. I think part of what I do is – you talk to people about it because as much as there is evidence and we see it of this this this consumerism, there are people who are also sick and tired of it. And they've got to the point of asking, well, is this all there is? Is this it? Our high point. And sure, it's a fun time. I mean, it's good to be inside when it's cold and to be warm. And you have some mulled wine. The Christmas colors, green and red. Those are generally great colors. I get the festivities and I think it is an exciting time of year. I just don't think it needs to start in September.
But it's a time to ask ourselves, is this a reinforcing of insular thinking? Is it time to be charitable? And we know it is. I remember after the tsunami on Boxing Day in 2004, I think it was, the charitable giving was literally off the charts. It was huge. So there is that element and that's great. But I think I asked people. OK, so we have Christmas. It's wonderful. But what, what about after Christmas? And so, yes, we should, I think, open our tables, extend our tables, which is becoming a common metaphor. Always. I don't know how common it is, but it's getting traction. Extend our tables and then, how do we extend them beyond Christmas? You know, we know January can be quite harsh sometimes and we know a lot of people struggle, especially if they've overspent over Christmas.
But how can we turn around something that has become a little bit more greed focused? How can we turn that into something that is a celebration? And getting back to what it's about. I mean, we think of Jesus, a refugee looking for room in the inn. You know, he was a particular demographic that had been targeted. If you want to put it in modern terms, there's a particular demographic that have been targeted, and needed to move. And one of the questions we can ask ourselves, would we recognize him today if that had happened? And the reality is we are seeing something very similar. And so I think it's twofold. Yes.
How do we still celebrate Christmas? But the true meaning of Christmas? And how does that extend beyond Christmas? And not just maybe rear its head at Easter. So I think it's as much as these holidays are important and they're a good focal point, how does it impact what we do? Because it is easy. That other part of charity is easier to compartmentalize. Oh, well, I have done A, B or C. I'm a good person. Maybe I'm a do-gooder. I don't know. I know that some people use that phrase, but. How can I make this a lifestyle, something that all year round that we are actually seeing that and I don't?
That doesn't mean I want to hear Christmas jingles all year round! Some people may love that, but how do we take that ambience, that picture of Christ in the manger, no fanfare. And yet I think it's okay to celebrate, you know, I like a bit of lights and a little bit of cheer.
Jenny Muscat: So I guess there's a taking the missional opportunity, firstly, of Christmas, to kind of go, yeah. This isn't all – it isn't just about the chocolates and the shopping.
Doug Marshall: Right.
Jenny Muscat: But also to take that missional opportunity of where people are at in January. And that flatness and saying, well, actually. At the heart of Christmas is the incarnation, and that's not over when you take the tree down.
Doug Marshall: Exactly. Yeah. So I think it's how do we do that? And it's to in one sense decompartmentalize how we approach life. Some-sometimes we have to compartmentalize. I don't have a problem with that, but I think I just see when we categorize people, then it's easy to compartmentalize them. Well, you are this. You will always be that. I am this. I will hopefully always be this and, if your identity and your value is found in Christ, you cannot but start to think and look. Oh, hang on. How, what can we do that brings other people to the table? How can we just extend that without any coercion, without any expectation of thanks, but to actually demonstrate a Christian or a Christ likeness that is for all. And so the wonderful things that come, you know, the wonderful things, it's not how big a present you get, although my kids might argue with that one. They would say how it is dependent on how big the present is! But it's not how big the presents are or whether you've even met the expectations of the people you're buying for. Because I either say buy me something very practical or buy me something so expensive you can't afford it and you wouldn't buy it for me. But hey, that's my ultimate dream and you want to make me happy. Whereas what we can do is say how do we bring this ambience, this atmosphere, this grace, this mercy, the Spirit to everyone at a time when we remember Christ the incarnation, but that his goal was to be somebody who was the image of an invisible God and represented all the characteristics of God, love, mercy, compassion. So, yeah, I think it's, let's take them, let's build momentum and take it with us through the year. How do we do that?
Jenny Muscat: That's great. I mean, you've kind of beautifully expanded upon our Christmas appeal this year that people may or may not have seen that we're inviting people to set an extra place at Christmas this year. But yeah, actually, to take that beyond to see that Jesus talks about the banquet and inviting – going out into the lanes and inviting everybody to that feast. So, yeah. Being open.
Doug Marshall: And it's starting somewhere, you know, we're not expecting people to, you know, put up a thousand strangers for Christmas lunch kind of thing. But these things start in small pockets and I think that's how it works. The more of us doing smaller little things makes a huge difference, a huge change.
Jenny Muscat: Yeah. And so we can all maybe bring some warmth into the winter months, kind of after Christmas of opening life to others. Well, thank you for taking some time out to have a chat.
Doug Marshall: No, thank you for having me.

Q: Necessity and sufficiency of martingale Let's consider probability space $(\Omega,\Sigma,P)$ with sequence of random bounded variables $(X_n)$. We assume also that $S_n:=X_1+X_2+...+X_n$. We put filtration $ {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F_n}}}=\Sigma.$
I want to find necessity and sufficiency conditions that S_n is a martingale with respect to filtration $ {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F_n}}}=\Sigma.$
Sufficient Condition
$E(S_{n+1}| {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F_n}}})=E(S_{n}| {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F_n}}})+E(X_{n+1}| {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F_n}}})=S_n+E(X_{n+1}).$
So the Sufficient Condition would be that $S_n$ is $ {\displaystyle {\mathcal {F_n}}}$ measurable and for any $n$ :$E(X_n)=0$.
Is my justification correct ? What can i say about necessity condition ?
A: It is not true that $E(X_{n+1}|\mathcal F_n)=EX_{n+1}$. All your random variables are measurable w.r.t. $\mathcal F_n$ so $E(X_{n+1}|\mathcal F_n)=X_{n+1}$. Hence a necessary and sufficient condition for $\{S_n\}$ to be a martinagle is $X_n=0$ almost surely for all $n$.

Q: Contar numero de registros de una tabla A revisando un valor contenido B Tengo una pregunta sobre como contar el numero de registros de la tabla TUTOR basandome en el tipo de carrera al cual pertenece un PROYECTO.
Esto debido a que deseo conocer cuantos tutores estan en proyectos de sistemas, de agronomia, de enfermeria, en fin.
Posee 3 tablas:
*
*TUTOR: posee cedu_tuto
*PROYECTO: posee proy_id y proy_carr_id(tipo de carrera antes mencionada)
*PROYECTO_TUTOR: posee proy_id , tuto_id y proy_tuto_id
¿Cómo haría el select de la base de datos para que me cuente cuantos tutores están en proyectos cuyo proy_carr_id sea 1, sea 2 y sea 3?
La tabla anidada de PROYECTO y TUTOR es un enlace entre ambos.
Sé que se usaría un LEFT JOIN pero no recuerdo en que forma
hasta ahora va algo asi:
function bd_rep23()
{
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tutor where cedu_tuto
LEFT JOIN proyecto c ON a.tuto_id = c.carr_id
ORDER BY a.cedu_tuto ASC";
$id=sql2value($sql);
return $id;
}
No sé si deba antes seleccionar los datos y luego contar

Lord Jesus, as we see ideas emerging about a new world order, we ask you to help us remember that you are the only one who can bring order to this broken world. No man-made system will bring true peace and security (Ephesians 1:9-11).
"Now is a time when things are shifting. There's going to be a new world order out there, and we've got to lead it. And we've got to unite the rest of the free world in doing it," President Biden declared, as he addressed a crowd of CEOs at the Business Roundtable's quarterly meeting on March 21, 2022. His words echoed throughout the country, leaving many to wonder what he meant when he referred to a NEW WORLD ORDER. Earlier in March Biden issued an Executive Order on the development of digital assets which directs the Department of Justice, Treasury and other agencies to study the legal and economic ramifications of creating a central bank digital currency (digital dollar). The creation of a digital currency and the new world order can be linked together according to American economist Pippa Malmgren, who spoke at the World Government Summit one week after President Biden's comments.
She declared, "What underpins a World Order is always the financial system. I was very privileged–my father was an advisor to Nixon when they came off the gold standard in 71 and so I was brought up with a kind of inside view of how very important the financial structure is to absolutely everything else. And what we're seeing in the world today, I think, is we're on the brink of a dramatic change where we are about to, and I'll say this boldly, we are about to abandon the traditional system of money and accounting and introduce a new one. And the new one; the new accounting is what we call blockchain…it means digital–it means having an almost perfect record of every single transaction that happens in the economy, which will give us far greater clarity over what's going on."
Malmgren smiled as she spoke these words to a crowd of global leaders at the World Government Summit that was held in Dubai on March 29-30, 2022. Each year the summit "explores the agenda of the next generation of governments, focusing on harnessing innovation and technology to solve universal challenges facing humanity."
Partners of the World Government Summit include: the World Health Organization, World Economic Forum, United Nations, World Trade Organization, International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group to name a few. CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg and Time were just a few of the media partners involved with this event.
Malmgren's comments about abandoning the traditional system of money and introducing a new system of digital currency have caught the attention of many people around the world, particularly in the United States. With roles such as former Economic Advisor in the White House, Chief Currency Strategist and the Deputy Head of Global Strategy for global investment banks, Malmgren carries some clout when it comes to her opinions. Her recent declarations have left many people scratching their heads, asking the question, "What exactly is blockchain and how does it affect digital money?"
According to the Blockchain Council, "Blockchain is a peer-to-peer decentralized distributed ledger technology that makes the records of any digital asset transparent and unchangeable and works without involving any third-party intermediary."
Currently most of us conduct business through a trusted intermediary such as a bank. With blockchain, however, there is no need for a third party because consumers and suppliers can communicate directly. Thousands of connected computers or servers are utilized "to maintain a single, secured and immutable ledger." When users generate transactions within a blockchain network, a block is created representing that transaction using encryption technology. Once this block is made, the requested transaction will be broadcasted over a peer-to-peer network that will validate the transaction. With each new transaction, a secured block is created and added to the existing Blockchain network. In this way, the records are permanent and unable to be altered or deleted. Bitcoin uses this type of system to verify cryptocurrency transactions, but it can also be used to verify contracts, records or other types of information.
The "new accounting" wouldn't just be digital–it would be centralized and programmable. Many people believe this would be equivalent to Bitcoin or other types of crypto currencies that use blockchain technology, but that's not accurate. In fact, Malmgren specifies the difference by saying, "But also this new money will be sovereign in nature. Most people think digital money is crypto and private, but what I see are superpowers using digital currency–the Chinese were the first–the U.S. is on the brink I think of moving in the same direction–the Europeans have committed to that as well."
This sovereign "new money" is known as a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Like Bitcoin it could possibly use blockchain technology, but this is where the similarities end. CBDC assets are centralized and regulated by the issuing authority such as a central bank, or federal reserve. In contrast, Bitcoin is private because users can send it to others anonymously, so no personal information or identifiers are utilized during a transaction. Additionally, it is decentralized and unregulated because no single authority controls it. Conversely, central bank digital currencies are centrally distributed so this means your personal details will be attached to your assets. In fact, some economists insist that CBDCs will be used in conjunction with a national ID system.
Because CBDC assets are centralized and regulated, there are inherent dangers to implementing this type of system. Malmgren states, "It also raises huge dangers in terms of the balance of power between states and citizens. In my opinion we're going to need a digital constitution of human rights if we're going to have digital money."
An article in Bitcoin Magazine titled Central Bank Digital Currencies and the Orwellian New World Order makes the case that this system takes the world closer to a dystopia. Several explanations are given such as: "Although some manifestations of the US dollar are already digital, there are inherent differences in what can be done with these new digital currencies. First, money can be time-based, and the issuer (the People's Bank of China in the case of the digital yuan) can set an expiration date for your money. Money can also be 'fine-tuned' to be sector-based, meaning that it can be designated only to be spent in certain sectors or stores. Finally, China has already implemented a draconian social credit score system and the digital yuan could end up tying into the social credit score. For centralized governments, CBDCs have huge benefits over the current fiat system and a decentralized, neutral currency. However, that is not the case for the sovereign individual."
In essence, CBDCs are programmable which means they can be programmed to act in a certain way based on predetermined criteria. The criteria, however, is determined by a sovereign authority. For example, the central bank could issue money through a stimulus, universal basic income, or something similar and then require that it be used by a certain date. If the digital money isn't used, it would vanish from the user's account. This would keep the user from saving the money and instead allow the central authority (i.e. the Fed) to ensure that it will quickly circulate in the economy.
Additionally, programmable CBDCs could be used to support certain agendas such as climate change. For example, a central bank could require that stimulus money, or portions of a UBI (universal basic income) could only be spent on "green" businesses. In fact, Biden's March 2022 executive order on the development of digital assets states that the CBDC (if created) must mitigate "climate change and pollution" and promote "financial inclusion and equity."
Perhaps money could only be spent only on sustainable products or genetically altered meat. Other scenarios include being limited on how much you can buy of certain products. Controversial items such as guns, ammo and gasoline are possible targets in this area. In the end, CBDCs could be used to satisfy the goals of the issuing authority.
Countries such as Italy are experimenting with this concept through their new social credit app that rewards citizens for "virtuous behavior." Bologna councillor Massimo Bugani says, "The citizen will receive benefits if he recycles; if he uses public transport; if he manages his energy consumption." Users of the app can earn digital points to spend, and receive discounts on goods and services.
It's no surprise that global organizations such as the World Economic Forum support CBDCs. In 2020 they provided a downloadable guide called the Central Bank Digital Currency Policy-Maker Toolkit which lays the groundwork for how to implement this system.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stands behind the use of CBDCs as well. The managing director, Kristalina Georgieva, praised the idea by explaining, "We have moved beyond conceptual discussions of CBDCs …we don't know how far and how fast they will go. What we know is that central banks are building the capacity to harness new technologies–to be ready for what lies ahead…all told, around 100 countries are exploring CBDCs at one level or another. Some researching, some testing, and a few already distributing CBDC to the public…And, just last month, the Federal Reserve issued a report that noted that 'a CBDC could fundamentally change the structure of the U.S. financial system.'"
The prospect of a digital currency leaves many people wondering where all of this will go and how it will affect their lives. The Bible warns us of a future Beast system controlled by the Antichrist. Revelation 13:16-17 says, "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast."
Will this future mark be tied to a financial network that relies on digital assets? Many biblical scholars believe so, and that's why we should become like the sons of Issachar, "who had an understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do."
Pippa Malmgren ends her statement about the new world order by saying: "The question is, will that new system of digital money and digital accounting accommodate the competing needs of the citizens of all these locations so that every human being has a chance to have a better life because that's the only measure of whether a world order really serves."
Prayer Point: Lord, we ask you to graciously and generously give our leaders and citizens discernment regarding the implementation of any kind of digital currency. When and if this system is instituted, what will be our response as citizens of heaven, rather than citizens of the world? Do not let us succumb to the spirit of fear, but instead place our financial assets and lives into your hands.
What could a digital currency mean for our nation and the world? How are you praying about this?

They are wanting to destroy the middle class in America. I am a conservative Christian. The left are elitists, and some on the right, the Rinos are too. The hard working American citizens are the ones who will suffer if this system is not stopped. We deserve the right to control our own finances without government intervention and oversight, its called "Freedom".

A petition to let your opinion be known that you do NOT support this evil agenda
The book of Revelation in the Bible talks about the New World Order and we Christians MUST be prepared, also have to prepare our children and our households. My prayer for Christians: Do NOT take the Mark of the Beast!! We Must dare to stand alone in this critical decision All Christians will face. Dare to be a Daniel!
J. Sparks
The time will come, as it does for all humans, when one will stand alone before the New World Order guardians and have to answer the question: "Do thee wish to be able to buy, sell, and trade things in this world?"
If you answer yes then you will be rewarded with the mark necessary to allow you to do such.
If you say nay and the rapture hasn't happened yet (and i think it hasn't) you will likely be sent to a "re-education facility" to get your "mind right" as the warden in 'Cool Hand Luke' told Paul Newman before shuttering him away in the "box."
Every human alive will have to choose which side they be on.
God's . . . or the Devil's.
We have to remember that God has a plan to end this old order and bring in the new and establish justice. It is Jesus who is worthy to open the seals. We need to be the radiant church looking to him no matter how crazy it gets, overcoming to the end crying Maranatha!

God's word tells us what is going to happen in the end days.As Christ bride we are to pray for his return and not be fearful.
Focus on Christ, his Holy word and be the light in this dark and perverse world.
It's not our will but Christ will to be done.

I'd say that going off the Gold standard in 1971 was just as big a problem as this is going to be! However, I will pray that this will never happen!
I agree. We should have never come off the gold system to begin with. Then they couldn't just print money when they felt like it. Now the value of the dollar is so low, it's not worth cat litter. Praying for God's order to come in place!

30 Ways to Pray for People in Authority
Lord Jesus, as we see ideas emerging about a new world order, we ask you to help us remember that you are the only one who can bring order to this broken world. No man-made system will bring true peace and security (Ephesians 1:9-11). The real new world order is Your kingdom, all of whose members are new creations in Christ Jesus. Bring in Your harvest, O Lord. |

The scale and impact of health inequalities in Scotland is well understood: the gaps in healthy life expectancy between our communities are unjust and avoidable. Much of the work on health inequalities has tended to focus on socio-economic circumstances as a fundamental cause. However a wide range of social circumstances impact on health, including visible identities and the impact of prejudice and discrimination.
In this seminar, Professor Laura Serrant explored the issue of health inequalities though the lens of race and inter-sectional identities. She drew on both her personal and professional experience as a Black practitioner to explore why the experiences of some groups and individuals are missing from health research, professional leadership and service development. She used her considerable experience to explore the importance of breaking Silences to develop our understanding and ask whether we need to reflect more on our own identities as part of our practice, as well as that of our communities.
The everyday experiences of racism can impact on the health and wellbeing of those racialised. It is important that policymakers, researchers, service-planners and employers acknowledge the need for a deeper understanding of what is required by organisations in order to serve diverse perspectives in our systems of healthcare.
Professor Serrant's research interests relate to community and public health, specifically health disparities and the needs of marginalised and 'seldom heard' communities. She has frequently found herself as the sole voice representing nurses and minority communities; a position which she has striven to challenge throughout her career by empowering others to come forward to join her, in a unique call to 'lift as you climb'. She has developed and published a new theoretical framework for conducting research in this area of work 'The Silences Framework' (Serrant-Green 2010). She has extensive experience in national and international health policy development with particular specialist input on racial and ethnic inequalities and cultural safety. She received an OBE for services to Nursing and Health Policy in 2018 and in 2017 was listed 8th in the Powerlist Top 100 most influential Black people in Britain. |
AEG 2 - Voltastr. 5
Opening day: 06.05.2019
Today's bustling urban Berlin district, Wedding, was once primarily an agricultural area belonging to the suburbs of Oranienburg. At that time, the Brunnenstraße was still a typical country road, flanked by irrigation trenches and rows of tall trees. By 1870, the industrialist Dr. Bethel Henry Strousberg had transformed the area into a comprehensive cattle market, complete with corrals and sheds, slaughter house, a trading market for wool merchants and a stock exchange tower with its own restaurant. However, the cattle market closed after just eleven years of being in business, due to new government regulations requiring animals to be slaughtered in specially built and equipped slaughterhouses. The area remained unused until the German producer of electrical equipment, AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft), built a sprawling factory on the site, which remained in operation until 1941.
Besides being one of the most architecturally significant sites in Berlin, the impressive industrial complex also profoundly influenced the city's development. The arrival of AEG in Berlin turned the city into an industrial metropolis, powered by AEG's broad production range, which included electric motors, a wide array of household appliances, railway materials and high-voltage system components. The city's first subway was even built here, albeit for commercial purposes rather than public transport. AEG's founder, Emil Rathenau, began implementing industrial production methods used in the USA, namely independent, skilled workers, and operational procedures derived from shrewd business practices. The factory engaged in piecework and mass production, then began assembly line production in 1926. Consequently, AEG became the largest employer in Wedding.
However, with the outbreak of WW2 in 1933, AEG benefited greatly from their cooperative stance with the Nazi party. Forced labor was used in its factory to replace workers who were sent to the front. The factory's operations were expanded to manufacture armaments, and more than 50% of AEG's total revenue at that time was earned from weapons production. It is also believed that there were secret tunnels leading from the factory to an above-ground bunker located in the adjacent Humboldthain park. The larger of the two AEG compounds was semi-demolished during the war and scars from artillery shelling can still be seen today on parts of the building's facade. Like many other Berlin companies after the war, AEG wanted to relocate its headquarters to the western part of the now divided country. However, it continued production at its factory in Wedding, and in 1966, added two large machine halls to the premises. These were the largest to exist in Europe at that time, and AEG attracted business internationally, even providing parts and supplies for nuclear power plants in the USA. Yet by 1978, AEG had laid off half of their 4,000 employees and closed their factory in the Ackerstraße. The remaining workers were "put out on the street" and AEG's 90-year production history in Berlin ended with the closing of its Voltastraße location. Afterwards, the factory premises were obtained by ORCO-GSG (a company specializing in the redevelopment and repurposing of industrial properties) and the twelve buildings were completely renovated. Today, the Voltastraße 5 is home to a variety of businesses, media companies, the Technologie-Park Humboldthain (a science, research and technology hub) and of course, one of our Unicorn workspaces.
The Volkspark Humboldthain, endowed with an interesting history and memorial garden landscape, is located right next to the AEG. The environmentally-friendly, creative-work oriented Lobe Block (also known as the Terrace House because of its large terraces), is located directly behind the park. Nestled among small shops and consultancies you'll find a yoga studio, a restaurant and urban gardens.

If the monster called Alzheimer's is going to get you, you may as well be prepared.
How I'm Preparing to Get Alzheimer's, is a 6 minute and 24 second video recorded in June 2012 at TED Global in Edinburgh, Scotland. This brief talk by Alanna Shaikh will do more to wake you up about this disease than anything you've heard thus far.
If there is even the slightest chance that one of us will get Alzheimer's or other dementia – and trust me, there's more than the slightest chance – then we'd better start shaping what Alzheimer's will look like for you and me. Here's an example.
Ms. Shaikh's father has Alzheimer's and she talks about the various hobbies and interests held by her father when he was healthier and how those interests carry through during the Alzheimer's disease process. He was a college professor at a state school and as Alanna put it, "he knows what paperwork looks like." Now in the depths of his disease, someone can put any type of form in front of him and he will gladly fill it out, arbitrarily writing his name or numbers on the various lines provided, and he'll check the boxes littered throughout the form. He flourishes in that engagement of his time.
What happens, however, when your favorite hobby pre-disease is reading and editing academic journals, racing cars, or using electric shop tools to make beautiful well-crafted furniture? How will those hobbies or skills survive the disease process? Not very well. So Alanna has come up with three things that she's doing now to prepare her for the possibility of the Alzheimer's monster invading her life.
Please watch Alanna's video. I think you will be impressed by her thought process.

Q: Convert string with HASH MD5 to ToBase64String this is my problem,
i have this code that accepts clean text with passwords and returns Base64MD5 hashes
private static string GetMd5Base64Pass(string userpwd)
{
MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
return Convert.ToBase64String(md5.ComputeHash(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(userpwd)));
}
And i need to reuse it to accept MD5 string hashes and return in Base64MD5.
i tried to do this:
private static string GetMd5Base64PassMD5(string userpwd)
{
MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
return Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(userpwd));
}
but the returns are completely different.
already tried to convert the string to bytearray, didn't work.
I need to insert one string with 32bits MD5, and return it in Base64String.
thks
------------------------------ Edited
Example:
Password is 123123:
MD5 is: 4297f44b13955235245b2497399d7a93
Base64String of MD5 is: Qpf0SxOVUjUkWySXOZ16kw==
I need to get
this: Qpf0SxOVUjUkWySXOZ16kw==
from
this hash string
4297f44b13955235245b2497399d7a93
A: public static string ConvertHexStringToBase64(string hexString)
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[hexString.Length / 2];
for (int i = 0; i < hexString.Length; i++)
{
buffer[i / 2] = Convert.ToByte(Convert.ToInt32(hexString.Substring(i, 2), 16));
i += 1;
}
string res = Convert.ToBase64String(buffer);
return res;
}
this receives md5 string hashes and transforms it to Base64 Hex
