Yes, you read that right. Someone -- Peiqi Su, a student at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts -- used 3D-technology in a way early humans could only have dreamed. She created a wall of undulating, movement-sensitive penises. Why? Because she could!
Peiqi Su was one of several Interactive Telecommunications Program students who participated in the ITP graduate show earlier this month. As you can imagine, when she presented her kinetic masterpiece, the project stood out.
"The penis is so different!" Peiqi Su explains on the ITP website. "This is my initial motivation, to study one of the oldest and probably the most attractive thing that humans interact with." (Let's take a moment and revel in this beautiful artist statement. Ok, proceed.)
The "Penis Wall", as it's appropriately titled, consists of a grid of wagging and waving members that frolic to the tune of a Tchaikovsky song or in step with a viewer like a melange of giddy, little phallic creatures. Using an ultrasonic distance sensor, the wall can be programmed not only to dance, but to serve as a visualization for data, such as stock market patterns.
So, it does have practical uses?
Peiqi Su told Animal NY that she was inspired to craft "Penis Wall" after hearing that “everyone on Wall Street is a dick.” It all makes sense. Now, if only we could fathom some way of peeling our eyes away from these sexual organs and end the most bizarre staring contest of our lives. | positive |

In Search of Meaning Through Art | SNAPSHOTS OF MALTA Feed Facebook Twitter GPlus Youtube flickr Last.fm Instagram Skype home About Chapels Malta Gozo Tumblr Other Wayside Chapels Niches skip to main | skip to sidebar In Search of Meaning Through Art Tizjina It is hard to explain what it is that attracted me so much to it. ‘Tizjina’ is a rather unassuming painting that at first glance simply depicts a branch of ivy. Tilt your head so that the light hits it at a certain angle, however, and you can just about see the shadow of a boarded up window. Look even closer and you notice other little details like the ivy using the frame of that window to shape its growth. Thinking back, it is those details – and the questions they raise - that got me. Who lived behind that window? Why was it boarded up? Was there any reason why the ivy was drawing our attention to it? Such is the art of Alex Dalli. On the face of it, his love of minimalism is reflected in work stripped of clutter. And yet the lack of (obvious) detail does not reduce the power of his work. His ambition isn’t that of overloading the senses of whoever is watching but, rather, to spark off their imagination and get them to think. It is not an easy style to have as your trademark. For one thing, it isn’t the kind of work that is likely to be widely understood and appreciated especially by those for whom art means almost exclusively detailed landscapes. Apart from the question of taste, there is also the issue of execution; if you throw so little at the canvas you could easily end up with a painting that says nothing. Dalli, however, comes up with work like ‘Tizjina’ that hold meaning far beyond the mere details that it depicts. His talent lies in looking at an image and stripping away all the noise until all that remains is that which gives it real meaning. “It is as if I am peeling the layers,” he explains as we look at the paintings that decorate his home that also serves as his studio. “I like minimalism and I like to dive deeply into the image until I have something that can transmit my emotions.” “I don’t want to tell people anything. I’m nearly sixty now so I’ve passed the stage where I feel the urge to rebel against the way that things are or shout out my opinion. What I do have is experience that has shaped the way I see things. I want to share that with people. Hopefully my work will touch them in a manner that they still get to feel the emotions that I want to transmit.” Soft spoken and unpretentious, Alex Dalli has nothing of the clichéd flamboyance that is often attributed to artists. Instead he measures his words carefully, clearly delighting in sharing his thoughts about each of his paintings without ever giving the impression that he is expecting any word of praise in return. His pleasure comes in seeing his work leaving an impact and in hearing others’ thoughts. From the way that he talks about it, the theme of emotion is clearly an important one for him. “I am an emotional man; I don’t see anything wrong in expressing my emotions. I used to work as a nurse and there I used to see a lot of people in pain, both physical and emotional. Whenever I saw people getting despondent I never shied away from hugging them. That physical expression of emotion helped a lot.” Fittingly some of his work is also a physical expression of his emotionality. Dalli shows me a painting that is essentially a block of plaster. On it he etches those instances and moments that touch him. “I was walking and saw that someone had etched his and his fiancé’s name on the wall and I got thinking about that couple, or what had become of them as well as how they had a record of that moment. So I decided to make this painting and on it I etch important names or dates. There’s the names of my family, for instance.” “Recently I saw the horrors of what was going on in Syria so I etched that country’s name on it. I will keep on adding to it. It is a living painting, probably the only one I have which I would never sell.” Dalli has similar stories for all of his paintings. The more you listen to him talking about them the more impressive the whole process is; how he lets ideas rest as he contemplates. It is akin to an expert goldsmith working on a piece of precious metal, forming and shaping it until the jewellery that he has in his mind emerges. Throughout the days these thoughts are sifted and explored at the back of his mind until he gets to a point where the idea is mature enough for him to start working on it. This is a crucial period for him; the gestation of the idea before he is ready to birth it. The actual painting process is equally measured. “I like to use wood as my canvas,” he explains. “I enjoy its natural texture and feel that it gives it all an added dimension.” “After putting the wood together I start layering on the plaster and paint. There have been people who have said that my technique is akin to sculpting as I shape the image as much as I paint it. Each one has a number of layers because I like to lay it on thick and then remove from it because each scratch or embossed patch can help my message.” “This takes quite a bit of time in order to dry so I usually work on two paintings at the same time. Whilst one is drying I switch to the other and vice-versa.” “Often, however, I just sit and look at the work in progress. It allows me to think about it, how it is turning out and what else I should be doing. I want to involve the viewer in my work and that means that I also have to look at it to see it with different eyes. I have to think about it, to absorb it and get a feeling for it.” When he is not actively painting, he is still looking to improve. One of the ways he does so is doodling. “When I have a spare moment I enjoy doodling. It relaxes me and at the same time it allows me to build a skill of drawing shapes. If I’m doing a curve, for instance, I try to doodle in a similar manner to get to the shape that I want in as free flowing a manner as possible. I find that when I then get to the painting it helps me get what I have in mind quicker.” In doing so he creates small works of art despite the absence of any discernible theme. “There have been people who have encouraged me to hold an exhibition purely based on these doodles. And one day I will.” In the meantime, he continues to work. He shows me his current project which, in my eyes is already a pretty impressive piece but which he feels requires further attention. “It is good to hear that even at this stage you’re getting what I would like the viewer to feel. Still I need to refine it a bit further before I am satisfied.” That satisfaction is what ultimately matters. “I used to be quite pessimistic as a person,” he confides as he shows me some of his earlier work that, in contrast to most of his more recent art, is dominated by dark colours. “With time I changed. Now I am more of a positive person and that is reflected my art.” That positivity shines through in the nature and execution of his work. Which is no easy task as Dalli does not shy away from tackling heavy subject. And yet, that he does it so well is not so surprising. The secret, if one could call it that, lies in the process that he readily admits to which involves thinking and distilling his topic. There is a light that shines through in his work and that is the light of Dalli’s own positivity. Someone else might end up focusing on the negative of each situation; Dalli instead opts to look for what hope there is in it. Rarely does he fail. Want to hear a contrasting view?

The listagg function transforms values from a group of rows into a list of values that are delimited by a configurable separator. Listagg is typically used to denormalize rows into a string of comma-separated values (CSV) or other comparable formats suitable for human reading.
Listagg does not apply any escaping: it is not generally possible to tell whether an occurrence of the separator in the result is an actual separator, or just part of a value. The safe use of listagg for electronic data interfaces is therefore limited to cases in which an unambiguous separator can be selected, e.g. when aggregating numbers, dates, or strings that are known to not contain the separator.
When implementing electronic data interfaces, arrays and document types (JSON, XML) are advantageous as they offer type safety, or at least proper escaping.
Syntax
Listagg is an ordered set function, which require the within group clause to specify an order. The minimal syntax is:
LISTAGG(<expression>, <separator>) WITHIN GROUP(ORDER BY …)
The <expression> must not contain window functions, aggregate functions or subqueries. The standard only allows character literals in <separator> —i.e. no expression and no bind parameter. Bind parameters are nevertheless well supported in practice.
Listagg removes null values before aggregation like most other aggregate functions. If no not null value remains, the result of listagg is null . If needed, coalesce can be used to replace null values before aggregation.
The on overflow clause
The return type of listagg is either varchar or clob with an implementation defined length limit. In practice, it is a varchar type.
Listagg accepts the optional on overflow clause to define the behavior if the result exceeds the length limit of the return type:
LISTAGG(<expression>, <separator> ON OVERFLOW …)
The default is on overflow error . In this case, the standard requires an exception with SQLSTATE 22001 to be raised —in practice, this requirement is not fulfilled.
The on overflow truncate clause prevents the overflow by only concatenating as many values as the result type can accommodate. Furthermore, the on overflow truncate clause allows one to specify how the result is terminated:
ON OVERFLOW TRUNCATE [<filler>] WITH[OUT] COUNT
The optional <filler> defaults to three periods ( ... ) and will be added as last element if truncation happens.
If with count is specified and truncation happens, the number of omitted values is put in brackets and appended to the result.
The SQL standard does not require a warning to be issued on truncation. To know whether the result is complete or not, users can parse the result or compare the actual length of the result to the calculated length for a result containing all values.
distinct
The listagg function accepts the optional set quantifiers all and distinct :
LISTAGG( [ALL|DISTINCT] <expression>, <separator> …) …
If neither is specified, all is default. If distinct is specified, duplicate values are removed before aggregation. Note that the elimination of duplicates is subject to the collation in effect.
Warning The standard does not specify which of the duplicate elements is removed. If the order by clause places one occurrence at the beginning and the other at the end, it is unspecified at which place the value appears in the result.
Distinct can be implemented manually by removing duplicates before aggregation—e.g. in a subquery. This works for databases not supporting distinct in listagg , and also allows to keep a particular occurrence if duplicates exist.
The following example demonstrates this approach. The columns g and o represent the group by and order by keys respectively. The example uses min(o) to keep the first occurrence in case one value appears multiple times.
SELECT g , LISTAGG(value, ',') WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY o) list FROM (SELECT g, min(o) o, value FROM dist_listagg GROUP BY g, value ) dt GROUP BY g
Combining listagg with filter and over
Listagg can be combined with the filter and over clauses:
LISTAGG(…) WITHIN GROUP(…) [FILTER(WHERE …)] [OVER(…)]
The effect of the filter clause is to remove rows before aggregation. Case can be used for the same effect.
The over clause must not contain an order by clause because the mandatory within group clause must contain an order by clause anyway. It is not possible to narrow the window frame: the set of aggregated rows is always the full partition.
Compatibility
Listagg was introduced with SQL:2016 as optional feature T625. Even though listagg is not yet widely supported, most databases offer similar functionality using a proprietary syntax.
Standard-Conforming Alternatives
On my Own Behalf I make my living from training, other SQL related services and selling my book. Learn more at https://winand.at/.
Arrays
If the query does not strictly require the return of a delimited string, arrays can be used to return an array of values. An array can be constructed using the array_agg aggregate function or via a subquery.
ARRAY_AGG(<expression> ORDER BY …)
ARRAY(<query>)
In the second form, <query> can contain distinct and fetch first to remove duplicates and limit the array length.
Neither of the two approaches performs an implicit cast : the array elements have the same type as <expression> . That means that the retrieving application can fetch the values in a type-safe manner and apply formatting if required.
The type-safe nature of arrays allows them to also carry null values in an unambiguous way. Array_agg does therefore not remove null values like other aggregate functions do (including listagg ).
The filter clause can be used to remove null values before aggregation with array_agg . If the filter clause removes all rows, array_agg returns null —not an empty array.
The subquery syntax allows removing null values in the where clause of the <query> and returns an empty array if the subquery doesn't return any rows.
If the order of elements is irrelevant, multisets and collect can also be used to pass a type-safe list to an application.
Document Types
Similar to array_agg , the SQL standard defines aggregate functions that return JSON or XML fragments: i.e. json_arrayagg and xmlagg . The main benefit compared to listagg is that they apply the respective escape rules.
JSON_ARRAYAGG(<expression> ORDER BY … [NULL ON NULL])
XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(NAME <element-name>, <expression>) ORDER BY …)
Warning Some articles show how to use SQL string manipulation functions to transform such documents into a delimited string. These examples often neglect the fact that the serialized document might contain escape sequences that need to be unescaped (e.g., < in XML or \" in JSON).
Using with recursive
Note Although the listagg functionality can be implemented using with recursive , it is often the better choice to use arrays, documents or the proprietary alternatives to listagg as shown below.
The following special case can be implemented using only with recursive and intermediate SQL-92:
LISTAGG( DISTINCT <expr1> , <sep> …) WITHIN GROUP(ORDER BY <expr1>)
Note the distinct and that <expr1> has to be the exact same expression in both cases.
The following example uses g as group by key, val as <expr1> and ', ' as <sep> :
WITH RECURSIVE list_agg(g, val, list) AS ( SELECT g, min(val), CAST(null AS VARCHAR) FROM listagg_demo GROUP BY g UNION ALL SELECT prev.g , (SELECT min(val) FROM listagg_demo this WHERE this.g = prev.g AND this.val > prev.val ) val , COALESCE(list || ', ', '') || val FROM list_agg prev WHERE prev.val IS NOT NULL ) SELECT g, list FROM list_agg WHERE val IS NULL ORDER BY g
This particular implementation uses the “loose index scan” technique as explained on the PostgreSQL Wiki. The performance will remain at a rather low level even with an index on (g, val) . The distinct behavior is a side effect of this technique.
The correct handling of null in val is an important special case: although null is generally ignored in aggregations, a group that consists of null values only must still be present in the result. This means that null must not be removed if there is no not null value in the group. The implementation above uses min(val) in the non-recursive expression to get this behavior.
A more generic implementation that supports all semantics and arbitrary order by clauses is possible using with recursive and window functions. Aaron Bertrand's post “Grouped Concatenation in SQL Server” presents an example of this approach.
In both cases, arbitrary on overflow behavior can be implemented.
Proprietary Extensions
The only useful extension that is commonly available is the support of bind parameters and constant expressions in <separator> .
The standard neither allows omitting the <separator> nor omitting the within group clause. Yet some databases treat them as optional and apply implementation defined defaults or expose undefined behavior if within group is omitted.
Proprietary Alternatives
There are two widely available proprietary alternatives to listagg : group_concat and string_agg . Even though some databases use the same proprietary function name, they still use a different syntax.
The good news is that the proprietary functions have the same default semantic as listagg : they filter null values before aggregation but don't remove duplicates ( all semantics).
string_agg — PostgreSQL Syntax
PostgreSQL's string_agg supports distinct and follows the array_agg syntax to specify an order:
STRING_AGG([ALL|DISTINCT] <expression>, <separator> [ORDER BY …])
PostgreSQL also offers a proprietary function to turn arrays into delimited strings: array_to_string .
string_agg — SQL Server Syntax (since release 2017/V14)
SQL Server's string_agg doesn't support distinct and uses the within group clause to specify an order:
STRING_AGG(<expression>, <separator>) [WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY …)]
Aaron Bertrand's post “Grouped Concatenation in SQL Server” demonstrates many other ways to implement listagg in older SQL Server releases—including the FOR XML PATH approach.
group_concat — MySQL and MariaDB Syntax
Group_concat supports distinct and expects the order by clause before the optional separator (default: comma):
GROUP_CONCAT([DISTINCT] <expression> ORDER BY … [SEPARATOR <separator>] [LIMIT <n>] -- MariaDB 10.3+ )
Group_concat truncates the result if it exceeds a configurable maximum length and doesn't honor element boundaries when doing so. In other words, it might truncate in the middle of an element.
MariaDB supports the same syntax and offers the optional limit clause in group_concat since version 10.3.
group_concat — SQLite Syntax
SQLite's group_concat neither supports distinct nor order by :
GROUP_CONCAT(<expression>, <separator>)

Theirs for a euro: Santander is cleared to take over Banco Popular
ADVERTISING Read more
Brussels (AFP)
EU competition authorities gave the formal green light Tuesday to the sale of Spain's Banco Popular to compatriot Santander, the first major test of Europe's new system for dealing with failing banks.
The approval by the European Commission comes just over two months after the European Central Bank -- which took on the role of the eurozone's banking supervisor in 2014 -- allowed the sale to go ahead for a symbolic fee of one euro.
"The commission concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns in the European Economic Area," the commission said in a statement, referring to the 28 European Union nations plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
An investigation by the commission found that the two banks' combined market share would be less than 25 percent, adding that "strong competitors will remain in all affected markets."
"Today's decision is the final step by the commission clearing the acquisition," it said.
The ECB had announced on June 7 that Banco Popular was "failing or likely to fail" and should therefore be sold to Banco Santander.
The Spanish government said that Popular would not have been able to remain open without the buyout, adding that it had both preserved people's savings and avoided the expenditure of any public funds in keeping the bank afloat.

M4 rifles and empty helmets sit in memorial to 5 soldiers killed in Afghanistan in August 2011.
IRBIL, Iraq — Two Americans were killed and five others wounded Sunday while conducting combat operations in northern Iraq, the U.S. military said.
In a statement, the U.S.-led international coalition Operation Inherent Resolve said initial reports indicated the incident was not due to contact with enemy forces. It is under investigation.
The statement did not name the slain soldiers, deferring identification to national authorities.
U.S. troops have been helping support Iraqi forces battling the Islamic State group — “a truly evil enemy” in the words of Lt. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, Operation Inherent Resolve commander.
“The entire counter-ISIS coalition sends our deepest condolences to these heroes’ families, friends and teammates,” Townsend said in a statement. “There are no words to describe the respect I have for you and sorrow I have for your loss. I hope there is some small solace in knowing their loss has meaning for our country and all the nations of the coalition.”
After a nine-month battle to oust ISIS from its last urban stronghold in Mosul, Iraqi forces - closely supported by the U.S.-led coalition - are preparing to retake the ISIS-held town of Tal Afar west of the city.
The latest deaths bring to nine the number of Americans killed supporting Operation Inherent Resolve this year, including noncombat deaths. Nearly 50 Americans have been wounded in action since the anti-ISIS campaign began in August 2014, according to Pentagon data.

Russia has denied 'completely fake' allegations that it has a blackmail file on Donald Trump containing footage of him watching prostitutes in a Moscow hotel bed.
U.S. officials allegedly included a two-page synopsis of 'kompromat' – Russian for compromising material – as part of their security briefing of Trump on Friday.
The material, described by Trump as 'fake' and a 'political witch hunt', was based on memos compiled by a British intelligence operative who was considered 'credible' by the U.S. intelligence community, CNN reported.
The document claims Russian sources told the operative that they had extensive material on the now president-elect - including a secret film of him in the suite where President Obama stayed in Moscow, watching prostitutes committing degrading sex acts on the bed where the president slept.
But Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin , dismissed the reports as a 'complete fabrication and utter nonsense'.
What is believed to be the 35-page document itself was published by Buzzfeed, which pointed out that it contained errors. Little of its contents can be independently verified, while there has been no official confirmation of the details of the briefing.
Denying even the existence of a 'kompromat' on Trump, Peskov said this morning: 'This information does not correspond to reality and is no more than fiction.'
Briefing: President-elect Trump was briefed face-to-face by James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence on the Russian threat
Kremlin overlord: Trump was told that Vladimir Putin was in possession of apparently incendiary material
Degrading acts in bed used by president: The extraordinary - and entirely unverified - allegations that Donald Trump ordered prostitutes to commit degrading sex acts in the Ritz-Carlton in Moscow are contained in a dossier drawn up by a former British spy
He insisted that the Kremlin 'does not engage in collecting compromising material'.
And he added: 'There are those who pump up such a tantrum and do their best to maintain a 'witch hunt', and by the way this is how president-elect Trump characterised this fake.
'And why is the continuation of this hysterical state needed? To force our relationship to stay degraded.
'It is a complete fake - not worth the paper it was written on.'
The memo also states that Peskov 'controlled' another dossier containing compromising material on Hillary Clinton compiled over 'many years'.
But Peskov denied there was any such material.
Elsewhere, the memo states that Peskov was 'the main protagonist in Kremlin campaign to aid Trump and damage Clinton', but that he is now 'scared and fears being made scapegoat by leadership for backlash in US'.
Trump himself has already dismissed the claims, tweeting: 'FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!'
In later tweets, Trump slammed 'Very unfair' reports, insisting Russia had 'never tried to use leverage over me' and that he had 'nothing to do with Russia - no deals, no loans, no nothing'.
Part of the document is seen above. Click here to see the full document first published by Buzzfeed
Donald Trump denied the allegations shortly after they were published on Tuesday night
In a later tweet, Trump repeated Russian claims that the report was 'a complete and total fabrication', adding: 'Very unfair!'
Donald Trump insisted Russia had 'never tried to use leverage over me' and that he had 'nothing to do with Russia - no deals, no loans, no nothing'
In one message, he wrote: 'I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!'
The apparent leak by security services comes just nine days before Trump's inauguration.
Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, told Mic that the claims were absolutely false and 'so ridiculous on so many levels.'
'Clearly, the person who created this did so from their imagination or did so hoping that the liberal media would run with this fake story for whatever rationale they might have.'
His counselor Kellyanne Conway also hit back against the allegations, and attempted to cast doubt on them by saying they came from 'unnamed sources', during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
She then said: 'I have to say as an American citizen… we should be concerned that intelligence officials leaked to the press but won’t go and tell the president-elect or the President of the United States himself, Mr Obama, what the information is. They would rather go tell the press.'
When Meyers corrected her by pointing out the reports came from briefings last week, Conway said Trump 'was never briefed'.
DOSSIER TIMELINE Summer 2016: A series of memos containing explosive details about Donald Trump are drawn up with datelines ranging from June to December. November 2016: Trump wins the United States presidential election. December 2016: Document reaches the top of the FBI. Reports claim senator John McCain presents material to agency director James Comey on December 9. January 6: Donald Trump is allegedly briefed about the claims. January 10: Document is leaked and details of its contents published.
The Trump administration's transition team did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Buzzfeed News, it has been reported.
Obama had little to add publicly to the bombshell revelations.
'You know I hadn't seen the reports, we were on the plane together, and I hadn't read the news since then and as a matter of principle and national security I don't comment on classified information,' the president said in an interview with NBC News late Tuesday.
He added however that he hopes Congress and the Trump administration will continue to work toward finding answers about who is responsible for hacking scandals that have roiled American politics in recent months.
According to CNN, the briefings, which included the documents of incendiary material, were presented by the country's most senior intelligence chiefs - Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers. But they are all yet to comment on the matter.
The meeting last week was at a time when Trump has been feuding with the intelligence community.
The intel chiefs reportedly included the information in order to make Trump aware that the information was circulating within the U.S. intelligence community, lawmakers and senior intelligence officials told the network.
It was included to bolster the agencies' conclusion, also made publicly, that Russia had dirt on both Republicans and Democrats, but released only the bad info on Democrats, via leaks to the WikiLeaks site, as part of the narrative of election interference to bolster Trump.
The document also charged there was an information exchange between Trump surrogates and representatives of the Russian government.
The document also referenced Trump's alleged '(perverted) conduct' at the presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow. Pictures show the hotel's interior
Luxury: The Ritz-Carlton (pictured) in Moscow overlooks the Kremlin and Red Square
The charge has echoes of what then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who got top-level security briefings, charged this fall.
Reid wrote FBI director James Comey in October: 'It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States.'
Buzzfeed on Tuesday published memos, which the site noted could not be verified, charging that Russia had been 'cultivating, supporting and assisting' Trump for 'at least five years.'
The site wrote that the documents were 'understood to be by a former British intelligence agent' and was prepared for political opponents of Trump.
Degrading: The dossier claimed Russians purport to have footage showing Donald Trump ordered prostitutes to commit sex acts at a hotel used by the president and first lady 'whom he hated'
Dealings: The dossier apparently includes claims about Trump's financial dealings with Moscow. In 2013 he held his Miss Universe contest in the Russian capital
The document states that Trump had declined 'sweetener' real estate deals in Russia that the Kremlin lined up in order to cultivate him. The business proposals were said to be 'in relation to the ongoing 2018 World Cup soccer tournament'.
Russian authorities tried to 'exploit Trump's personal obsessions and sexual perversion' in order to compromise him.
The document also referenced Trump's '(perverted) conduct' at the presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, where the President and First Lady Michelle Obama 'whom he hated' had stayed.
It cited 'Source D' as saying Trump's conduct included hiring prostitutes 'to perform a 'golden showers' (urination) show in front of him.' It says the hotel was known to be under the control of Russia's FSB, with hidden cameras and microphones.
KREMLIN DENIES MEMO CLAIMS Russia has denied allegations that the Kremlin collected compromising information about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, dismissed news reports as a 'complete fabrication and utter nonsense.' He insisted that the Kremlin 'does not engage in collecting compromising material'. He added: 'There are those who pump up such a tantrum and do their best to maintain a 'witch hunt', and by the way this is how president-elect Trump characterised this fake. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for President Vladimir Putin (pictured), dismissed news reports as a 'complete fabrication and utter nonsense' 'And why is the continuation of this hysterical state needed? To force our relationship to stay degraded. 'It is a complete fake - not worth the paper it was written on.' The memo also states that Peskov 'controlled' another dossier containing compromising material on Hillary Clinton compiled over 'many years'. But Peskov denied there was any such material. 'This was absolutely fabricated, this is total nonsense. This is what is called "pulp fiction".' This morning, the Russian state-run media has blasted 'troubling' suggestions the FBI should be investigating Donald Trump over some of the claims in the document. News outlet Sputnik warned its readers: 'The fact that multiple media outlets practically simultaneously decided to publish these reports despite admitting their erroneous character is telling by itself. 'However, allegedly the FBI has been in the possession of these memos for some time too.' Sputnik also highlighted a report on the Wikileaks whistleblowing website which claimed as unreliable media reports of Russian agents having kompromat on Trump. Nikolay Kovalyov (right) a former head of Vladimir Putin's (left) security service has denied that the FSB snooped on Donald Trump and collected compromising material on him when he was in Moscow '35 page PDF published by Buzzfeed on Trump is not an intelligence report. Style, facts & dates show no credibility,' WikiLeaks said on Twitter. Meanwhile a former head of Vladimir Putin's security service has denied that the FSB snooped on Donald Trump and collected compromising material on him when he was in Moscow. Nikolay Kovalyov claimed: 'Of course, there is no kompromat.' Commenting on the press reports that 'kompromat' on Trump was gathered since the times when Trump came to Moscow as organiser the Miss Universe pageant in 2013, he said: 'To gather compromising materials about a man who came to hold a beauty contest - who would be interested in it? 'You can rely on my experience. This is not our routine here in Russia.' Kovalyov is now a Russian MP for Putin's United Russia party. He was head of the FSB from 1996-98 and was replaced in the position by Putin, who used the position as the launch pad to his political career. 'The feeling is that (Barack) Obama's administration has put all its efforts on compromising the winner of the presidential race, and they believe that in this fight all means are worth it,' said Kovayov. 'They have got enough compromising materials in their motherland, let them sort it themselves there. 'It is not correct to drag Russia into their political fight.'
A spokesman from the hotel told MailOnline this morning: 'In line with our company standard to protect the privacy of our guests, we do not speak about any individual or group with whom we may have done business.'
The site noted that the document contained some errors, such as misspelling the name of a company, the 'Alfa Group.'
The documents quote an unnamed Russian intelligence official as saying there was enough information to blackmail Trump.
The New York Times reported that intelligence officials considered the material 'so potentially explosive' that they decided they needed to tell Trump, Obama, and top congressional leaders about it.
The paper described the memos as being 'generated by political operatives seeking to derail Mr. Trump's candidacy.'
CNN's story was reported by four reporters, including former Watergate scribe Carl Bernstein.
Bernstein said on air that the raw intelligence memos were drafted by a retired MI6 British intelligence operative. MI6, formally the Secret Intelligence Service, conducts foreign intelligence gathering for the UK government.
Chain of information: The dossier was drawn up by an unnamed British ex-spy, obtained by a British diplomat and passed personally to John McCain - who then gave it to James Comey, the FBI Director
Offered? NBC News reporter Tom Winter suggested that he and other reporters had been offered the information but had not acted on the offer
The operative had been hired by a political opposition research firm who did work first for Republican and then Democratic political opponents of Trump.
'He then took it to an FBI colleague that he had known in his undercover work for years,' Bernstein said on CNN.
He said a British diplomat in Russia became aware of the findings independently.
The ambassador then took the information to Arizona senator and staunch Russia critic Senator John McCain, who then 'personally' provided the information to FBI Director Comey.
Pervert: Revelations around Anthony Weiner were made public by the FBI but the Trump 'dossier' was not
On Twitter, NBC reporter Tom Winter suggested the information had already been 'shopped' to reporters last summer but never acted on.
It is unclear if outlets other than NBC were offered it. DailyMail.com was not.
The apparent confirmation of Reid's claim that FBI Director Comey was in possession before the elections of explosive information about Trump – including the claim that Russia tried to cultivate the future U.S. president as an asset – is certain to inflame Democrats.
Democrats were already fuming that Comey decided to reveal just 11 days before the election that the bureau was conducting a search of material contained on the laptop of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
The device contained emails between Abedin and Clinton which Comey said could be relevant to the closed investigation into the former Secretary of State's handling of classified material on her secret email server.
It was found while the FBI investigated the sexting relationship Abedin's pervert husband Anthony Weiner had with an underage girl. The relationship was first disclosed by DailyMail.com.
After the disclosure of fresh moves on the email probe rocked the campaign, Comey announced two days before the election that the investigation had not changed the original decision not to charge Clinton in connection with her email scandal.
Comey wrote Congress that he felt obliged to reveal the new search for Clinton emails to avoid 'misleading' the public.
'We don't ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed,' Comey wrote. | positive |

icrosoft has started blocking non-Microsoft web browsers in order to protect your kids. The reason given is that these browsers can easily circumvent Redmond’s web filtering shield and allow your kids to access blocked websites.
Without mentioning any names of the “commonly used browsers”, Microsoft has mentioned that they’ll “automatically block these browsers on [children’s] devices”. However, you still have the authority to give a green signal to those web browsers.
The above changes have been made to Microsoft’s Family Features, an online platform for you to keep an eye on the internet activities of your family.
Other than browser blocking, Microsoft has provided you more powers to control the internet life of your kids. You could allow your kids to access a blocked website via accepting a notification, control how much time they use their device and how much they shop, get a weekly email of their account activity, etc.
For the last couple of years, Microsoft has been promoting their products like fiercely. First, it was the long shot Windows 10 operating system which became a topic of criticism due the forced update campaign carried out by Microsoft.
Now, it is the turn of the web browsers. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and the newer Edge haven’t been able to make a dent in the success of Google-baked Chrome. According to the August desktop browser stats from NetMarketShare, Chrome sits on the Iron Throne with 53.97% market share and the second position is secured by the exiled Internet Explorer with 27.38%. Firefox with 7.69%, Edge with 5.16%, and Safari with 4.28% follow the line. So, Microsoft’s IE+Edge share is 32.54% but still less than Google Chrome. It’s quite possible that the Redmond might have intentions to push its own browsers.
As far as other commonly used web browsers are concerned, the popular Chrome also has a Supervised Users feature which can be used to control the online activities of that person.

Image copyright Reuters Image caption California's climate change policy was initially instigated by ex-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
California has dropped plans to halve petroleum use in vehicles by 2030, after intense oil industry lobbying.
Governor Jerry Brown and other senior lawmakers had included the proposal in a climate change bill, but were forced to retreat amid growing opposition.
State senate leader Kevin de Leon, who supported the cut, accused oil firms of deploying "scare tactics".
The leaders have vowed to push ahead with other reforms, including boosting renewable electricity use.
"I'd say oil has won the skirmish, but they've lost the bigger battle," Mr Brown said.
"I'm more determined than ever to make our regulatory regime work for the people of California - cleaning up the air, reducing the petroleum and creating green jobs."
The plans to require a 50% reduction in petroleum use in motor vehicles by 2030 were met with fierce opposition from business groups and oil companies, who warned of negative consequences for California's economy.
Mr De Leon said the industry had a "singular motive" and accused it of creating a "multibillion-dollar smoke screen" to deter lawmakers from voting for the legislation.
Republicans, along with many moderate Democrats, had resisted the proposal.
Image copyright AP Image caption California Governor Jerry Brown discussed the issue of climate change with the Pope in July
Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, welcomed Wednesday's decision to cut the emissions target from the bill.
"Today's announcement was an acknowledgement that California's energy future, economic competitiveness, and environment are inextricably linked," she added.
California is the second-biggest producer of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels among US states.
Mr Brown pledged to move ahead with the two remaining components of the climate change bill, aimed at increasing renewable electricity use and improving energy efficiency in buildings.
The issue has been a key priority for the governor during his final term.
He is expected to attend the United Nations climate change conference in Paris in November. | positive |

Walney Bird Observatory: First Pintail of the autumn Walney Bird Observatory Founded in 1964, the work of Walney Bird Observatory is funded entirely by membership subscription. Since 1965 it has been an accredited member of the British Trust for Ornithology’s bird observatories network which operates across Britain and Ireland. Bird Observatories are at the forefront of conservation, monitoring bird populations through the medium of census work, daily recording of migrants and ringing. First Pintail of the autumn 8th September 2016 – rain then sunny spells SW3/4/5 Offshore A check of the sea revealed just small numbers of Common Scoter, Gannet and Razorbill. Grounded Migrants A desperate month so far for grounded migrants was evidenced by just a single Chiffchaff being logged. Diurnal Migration A few Swallow and Sand Martin were in evidence. Wildfowl and Waders The Ruff continues to linger and the first Pintail of the autumn has arrived.

Introduction
Wow, Such Might, So Totem
Why Doesn't This Shaman Just Run Hex
Don't Even Attempt This One
Introduction by Zelniq
For today's set, we've something a bit different. The final puzzle here was just way too difficult, so we've decided to make a couple easier and more reasonable versions of it. The first one is different in that the goal is to win before your opponent gets a chance to act, whereas the other two just require you to win the game before you die. Also, for all three puzzles, you're in the same situation except for differences in the opponent's board. If you feel you've got what it takes and are up to the challenge, try the third puzzle first, and see if you can be the first to post the correct solution. Just make sure that your solution does not break any of the rules of Hearthstone. For most people, I just recommend you try them in order. For today's set, we've something a bit different.

Note: If you get stuck, try looking for any way to win at all.
You are, the Shaman, with only 2 life left. Your opponent Anduin, the Priest, has 5 health. Both of you have no cards remaining in your deck, but neither of you has taken any Fatigue damage yet. You've only got your four totems on your side and your opponent has an 8/8 with Taunt.

Same situation.. neither of you have any cards left in your deck and neither of you has taken any Fatigue damage. You have 10 mana. However this time he's got a 16/16 Taunter and a 1/7 Taunt.
How can you defeat Anduin before you eventually die?

Flametongue gives +2 damage, so Taunt is at 8/4 and since your totem die no need to Brewmaster

Solution to the last one.
+ Show Spoiler +
Play a Flame Totem (in the middle of your board, to the left of the extra spell damage totem)
Play the Wild Pyromancer
Play Totemic Might
Play Youthful Brewmaster
Play the Light Warden. (must be to the left of the taunt totem)
Play the Wild Pyromancer
Play Ancestral Healing Wrath of Air Totem
Play the two wisps on the left side.
Click End turn
(The Healing totem triggers, healing all your damaged minions for 1. I'm assuming it doesn't proc on the light wisps because they aren't hurt, but I don't actually know. Assuming it doesn't, that's +16 Attack for the light warden)
Light Warden is now a 20-2.
Their turn.
They take fatigue damage, dropping to 4.
If they attack they must hit your totems which are next to the flametongue totem. As this would help us lets assume they don't attack.
Your turn
You take fatigue damage, dropping to 1.
Use all the minions on the left side of the Firetongue totem to attack their big creature. By attacking with the creature next to the totem first they can all get the buff.
This will be 2 wisps (3 damage each), your lightwarden (22 damage), and the taunt totem (2 damage). Total 30. Big creature has already taken 2 from the pyromancer, so now drops to 9. The other one is on 7.
Cast Ancestral Spirit
Remaining minions can attack for:
Brewmaster
Pyromancer (5)
Searing (3)
Healing (2)

Thanks so much for this, was a lot of fun. I think I got it right, though it might need a little of tweaking to make the attack order work. Of course I'd actually fail because I would run out of time.
EDIT: Apparently this wouldn't work because they would probably be all unsporting and heal themselves....
Also they might be objectionable when confronted with my 'play 10 minions' hack.
Does Ancestral healing actually return minions to their original health (instead of current full health)? Might make the last one quite different, as you could use it on the enemy minion. Assuming it just returns you to full health though...Solution to the last one.Thanks so much for this, was a lot of fun.

+ Show Spoiler + Play wild pyromancer.
Play totemic might, all totems at 4 health. Pyromancer deals 1 damage to all, totems at 3 health, mogushan at 7 health, pyromancer at 1 health.
Ancestral spirit on pyromancer. Pyromancer deals 1 damage to all, totems at 2 health, mogushan at 6 health, pyromancer dies and resurrects with 2 health.
Ancestral healing on pyromancer. Pyromancer deals 1 damage to all, totems at 1 health, mogushan at 5 health, pyromancer at 1 health.
Flametongue totem in between spell dmg and searing totems. Attack mogushan for 5 damage, mogushan and both totems die.
Now taunt and healing totems are 2/2 with flametongue buff, attack priest for 4 damage, priest at 1 hp, end turn, priest draws 1 damage fatigue and dies. my solution for puzzle 1: #1 Grubby Fan.

Indeed it would. Does bringing a minion back to life count as healing? If it does then the extra two damage could be found there.

Flametongue between searing and healing.
Put down pyromancer and play totemic might. Everyone gets 1 dmg.
Searing attacks the big one does 3 dmg and dies. healing attacks the little one. Now attack with the spelltotem (the left) since searing is dead.
Now play ancestral spirit on the pyromancer, everyone gets 1 dmg, pyromancer dies and returns to board.
Now brewmaster the spelltotem (if you brewmaster the flametongue you wont have enough mana!), so the taunt totem can attack for 2 dmg again.
Now play lightwarden and the spelltotem.
Now play ancestral healing on healing totem. Everyone gets 1 dmg. taunt totem dies. Play a wisp.
The left taunter dies since 3x 2dmg from totems and 3x 1 dmg from pyromancer. The right taunter is at 35 hp, since 3 dmg from searing and 3x pyromancer.
End Turn. Lightwarden Lightwarden
Priest heals himself for 2. He is at 6 now. Your warden gets +2, so 17/2.
Your Turn starts:
attack with the minions next to your flametongue totem, so the dmg you get from flametongue is 6x2=12. You attack with everything but the wisp. 12 + 3 pyro + 3 brew + 17 warden = 35. You kill the taunter. You swing for 3 with your wisp. He is at 3. He gets Fatigue dmg and is at 1. You win this time.

Thanks so much for this, was a lot of fun. I think I got it right, though it might need a little of tweaking to make the attack order work. Of course I'd actually fail because I would run out of time.
EDIT: Apparently this wouldn't work because they would probably be all unsporting and heal themselves....
Does Ancestral healing actually return minions to their original health (instead of current full health)? Might make the last one quite different, as you could use it on the enemy minion.

Haha, yes, then it's really wrong...let me take another look at it.
Your solution is correct. I couldn't find the mana to do what you did because I was Brewmastering the wrong thing. Nice one!

Rock legends BLACK SABBATH will headline a number of Europe's premier festivals in 2012.After announcing their reunion on 11.11.11, these worldwide appearances are one of the most anticipated music events of 2012. Kicking off on Friday May 18 in Moscow at Olimpski, the tour will bring BLACK SABBATH to the masses at: Download Festival [UK], Azkena Rock Festival [Spain], Hellfest [France], Graspop Metal Meeting [Belgium] and Gods of Metal [Italy]. However, that's only the beginning of the group's global tour which will take the band around the world including countries the band has never played before and others they have not visited in more than three decades.The four original members of BLACK SABBATH--OZZY OSBOURNE (vocals), TONY IOMMI (guitar), GEEZER BUTLER (bass) and BILL WARD (drums)--are currently recording their first studio album in 33 years with legendary producer RICK RUBIN (seven-time Grammy winner, two of those as Producer of the Year) for release worldwide on Vertigo Records, and Vertigo/Universal Republic Records in the U.S. in the fall 2012.Revered music and spoken word artist, Henry Rollins, has said that “BLACK SABBATH’s music is ultimate bone-powderizing gear. Any band worth their weight in napalm wishes they had written ‘War Pigs.’ The critics never got it, but the fans did and still do, and the music has not lost any thunder with time but in fact resonates more loudly…Hail the mighty Black Sabbath now and forever.”Music fans across Europe are in for a night of epic proportions from the Grammy-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees on this very historic return.Expect Black Sabbath to hit the U.S. on next Summer's Ozzfest.BLACK SABBATH's confirmed European tour dates are below:DATE CITY VENUE5/18 Moscow, Russia Olimpiski5/20 St. Petersburg, Russia New Arena5/23 Helsinki, Finland Hartwall Arena5/25 Stockholm, Sweden Stadium5/29 Bergen, Norway Bergen Calling Festival5/31 Oslo, Norway Spektrum6/2 Malmo, Sweden Malmo Stadium6/4 Dortmund, Germany Westfalenhalle6/10 Donnington, UK Download Festival6/12 Rotterdam, Holland Ahoy6/15 Bilbao, Spain Azkena Rock Festival6/17 Nantes, France Hellfest6/19 Paris, France Bercy6/22 Dessel, Belgium Graspop Metal Meeting6/24 Milan, Italy Gods of Metal | positive |

Who will be the next head coach at Baylor? A breakdown of candidates, latest rumors Share This Story On... Twitter

By Adam Grosbard , Staff Writer Contact Adam Grosbard on Twitter: @AdamGrosbard
Baylor is nearing the end of the 2016 season. Soon Baylor will need to begin a search for a full-time head coach. Interim Jim Grobe had the Bears off to an admirable 6-0 start before the season soured in the second half amid weekly off-field distractions. But the Baylor athletic department has done little to show it will take off the interim tag. Most new head coaches are hired toward the end of November or early December, so the Baylor coaching search could begin in earnest soon. New Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades spoke with the Waco Tribune in September about what he wants in his new head coach. The main criteria that Rhoades desires are as follows: 1. Runs an up-tempo offense that matches Baylor's style. 2. Head coaching experience. 3. Texas connections. 4. Builds a strong culture and runs every part of the program. With those four factors in mind, let's look at some of the possible head coaching candidates this offseason and how they would fit at Baylor. Rumored candidates
Blake Anderson

Current position: Arkansas State head coach since 2014 Previous three coaching stops: North Carolina (offensive coordinator, 2012-2013), Southern Miss (offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, 2008-2009), Louisiana-Lafayette (offensive coordinator, 2007) Offensive style: Runs an up-tempo offense Head coaching record: 22-14, 0-2 in bowl games Texas connections: Grew up in Texas, spent first two years of college at Baylor before transfer to Sam Houston State Culture implementation: Anderson broke Arkansas State's streak of five different five head coaches in five seasons and turned the Red Wolves into the Sun Belt Conference champions in 2015. Questions that need answering: Is Anderson high-profile enough for a new Baylor athletic director that wants to make a splash to change the perception of the program? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: FootballScoop reported that Baylor and Anderson are in negotiations for the position. Sonny Dykes
AP California head coach Sonny Dykes, center, walks along the sideline during the first half of the team's NCAA college football game against Washington State in Pullman, Wash., Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016. (AP Photo/Young Kwak)
Current position: California head coach since 2013 Previous three coaching stops: Louisiana Tech (head coach, 2010-2012), Arizona (offensive coordinator, 2007-2009), Texas Tech (co-offensive coordinator, 2005-2006) Offensive style: Runs the "Bear Raid," essentially an Air Raid attack that he tweaked for his time at Cal Head coaching record: 41-45, 1-1 in bowl games Texas connections: Is a Big Spring native who played baseball at Texas Tech and got his coaching start in Texas high school football. Coached at Texas Tech for several years and has recruited Texas heavily at both his head coaching stops. Culture implementation: Dykes tried to leave Cal last year, communicating with Missouri, Virginia and South Carolina before signing an extension with Cal. Questions that need answering: Is Dykes ready for a change of scenery as his days at Cal seems numbered? If he does want to leave, is Baylor appealing with its various scandals? Does Baylor want a coach with a losing record? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: Dykes was reported to be on Baylor's short list by 247sports.com. ESPN reported that Dykes is now the focus of Baylor's coaching search following Chad Morris' renewed commitment to SMU. Larry Fedora
AP North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora listens on his headset during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Miami, Saturday, Oct. 15, 2016, in Miami Gardens, Fla. (AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)
Current position: North Carolina head coach since 2012 Previous three coaching stops: Southern Mississippi (head coach, 2008-2011), Oklahoma State (offensive coordinator, 2005-2007), Florida (offensive coordinator/running backs coach, 2002-2004) Offensive style: Runs a pro-style, up-tempo spread offense Head coaching record: 74-43, 3-4 in bowl games Texas connections: A College Station native who played at Austin, coached for four years in Texas high school football and six years at Baylor in the early 1990s Culture implementation: He has built North Carolina into one of the top ACC teams but has yet to break through with a defining bowl victory. But the hiring of disgraced former Illinois head coach Tim Beckman after several allegations of abuse of players raised some eyebrows. Questions that need answering: Would the idea of returning to his Texas roots trump the known quantity at North Carolina for Fedora? And will the hiring of Beckman be too big of a black eye for Baylor to ignore given the current climate around the university? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: Fedora was reported to be on Baylor's short list by 247sports.com. P.J. Fleck

Current position: Western Michigan head coach since 2013 Previous three coaching stops: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (wide receivers coach, 2012), Rutgers (wide receivers coach, 2010-2011), Northern Illinois (wide receivers coach, 2007-2009) Offensive style: Runs a pro-style, up-tempo spread offense Head coaching record: 28-21, 1-1 in bowl games Texas connections: None to speak of -- only one WMU player is from Texas Culture implementation: His "Row the Boat" mantra at WMU has even caught on with students who chant it during games. Questions that need answering: Will Fleck's lack of Texas connections hurt his equation with the Baylor search committee? With Purdue already reportedly interested in his services, will Fleck get a job offer closer to his Midwest roots? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: D-FW radio personality and Baylor alum Matt Mosley tweeted that Fleck is "in play" for Baylor. Mike MacIntyre
AP FILE - In this Sept. 24, 2016, file photo, Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre stands on the sideline during the team's NCAA college football game against Oregon in Eugene, Ore. Colorado plays Arizona this Saturday. No. 16 Colorado is relatively healthy, already bowl-eligible and has plenty to play for, leading No. 13 Utah by a game in the Pac-12 South. (AP Photo/Thomas Boyd, File)
Current position: Colorado head coach since 2013 Previous three coaching stops: San Jose State (head coach, 2010-2012), Duke (defensive coordinator, 2008-2009), New York Jets (defensive backs coach, 2007) Offensive style: Though he was a receivers coach once upon a time at Ole Miss, he is far more known as a defensive coach. Head coaching record: 34-50 Texas connections: Was once the Dallas Cowboys defensive backs coach. Recruits Texas heavily and successfully as head coach of Colorado. Culture implementation: Not only is Colorado bowl eligible for the first time since 2007, the Buffaloes are a top-10 team and in the driver's seat for a spot in the Pac 12 championship game and maybe even a playoff spot if a few things fall their way. Questions that need answering: Would he leave a top-10 team and strong recruiting class for a Baylor program that has a lot of holes to fill on the depth chart and only two commits in the 2017 class? Does Baylor want a defensive-minded head coach instead of an offensive-minded one? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: D-FW radio personality and Baylor alum Matt Mosley tweeted that MacIntyre is "in play" for Baylor. However, MacIntyre said after the Pac-12 championship game that he will not leave Colorado for Baylor. Phil Montgomery
AP Photo Tulsa head coach Philip Montgomery gestures to an official in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game against SMU in Tulsa, Okla., Friday, Oct. 7, 2016. Tulsa won 43-40 in overtime.
Current position: Tulsa head coach since 2015 Previous three coaching stops: Baylor (offensive coordinator, 2008-2014), Houston (offensive coordinator, 2003-2007), Texas high school football (1995-2002) Offensive style: Worked under Art Briles for over a decade as an offensive assistant so he knows the Baylor offense inside and out. Head coaching record: 14-10, 0-1 in bowl games Texas connections: Texas native, went to Tarleton State, spent eight years coaching high school football in the state and 11 years as an assistant coach at the collegiate level in the state Culture implementation: Montgomery took a team that won two games the year before he arrived to a bowl game in his first season at Tulsa. Questions that need answering: If Baylor wants a clean start from the Briles era, can it really bring back his old right-hand man? Does Montgomery want to leave Tulsa after just two seasons? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: Montgomery was reported to be on Baylor's short list by 247sports.com.
Other potential candidates
Dino Babers

Babers followed Wake Forestâs Dave Clawson from Bowling Green to the Atlantic Coast Conference. Now he's trying to follow him up the Atlantic Division standings. (AP Photo/Stew Milne, File)
Current position: Syracuse head coach since 2016 Previous three coaching stops: Bowling Green (head coach, 2014-2015), Eastern Illinois (head coach, 2012-2013), Baylor (special teams/receivers coach, 2008-2011) Offensive style: Has run Baylor offense since he left for his first head coaching job Head coaching record: 41-23, 1-0 in bowl games Texas connections: Spent four years coaching at Baylor as well as two years earlier in his career as an assistant at Texas A&M Culture implementation: Watch this video of Babers in the Syracuse locker room after this season's upset of Virginia Tech and you can see how he runs his program. Click here to view the video on your mobile app.
Questions that need answering: If Baylor needs a fresh start from the Art Briles era, can it bring in one of his former assistants? With the new TV package for the ACC Network, is leaving for the Big 12 in Babers' best interest?
Sonny Cumbie
Staff Photographer TCU Co-Offensive Coordinator Sonny Cumbie is pictured during a media briefing in the Four Sevens Team Room on the TCU campus, Texas photographed on Wednesday, August 3, 2016. (Louis DeLuca/The Dallas Morning News)
Current position: TCU offensive coordinator since 2014 Previous coaching stop: Texas Tech (co-offensive coordinator, receivers coach, 2011-2013) Offensive style: Runs a spread offense similar to Baylor's Head coaching record: None Texas connections: Abilene native who played at Texas Tech before his brief NFL career, has coached exclusively in the state of Texas Culture implementation: If you're going to trust someone to run a program without any previous experience, a protege of TCU head man Gary Patterson is a pretty good place to start. Questions that need answering: Rhoades said that he is willing to give the job to the right assistant coach if that candidate arises -- does Cumbie fit that mold? And if Cumbie declined the job offer to be Texas' offensive coordinator last year in favor of his comfortable life in Fort Worth, would he do the same to a head coaching job at one of TCU's rivals and a program dealing with controversy?
Todd Graham

Current position: Arizona State head coach since 2012 Previous three coaching stops: Pittsburgh (head coach, 2011), Tulsa (head coach, 2007-2010), Rice (head coach, 2006) Offensive style: Defensive coach but Arizona State runs a spread offense under him Head coaching record: 88-54, 5-3 in bowl games Texas connections: A Mesquite native who got his coaching start in Texas high schools and whose first head coaching job was at Rice, recruits Texas heavily still with 15 players on his Arizona State roster hailing from the Lone Star State Culture implementation: He has ruffled some feathers in Tempe with his bravado, declaring his the Sun Devils national championship contenders before finishing last season 6-7. Questions that need answering: Is a move to Baylor appealing to a man with a Pac 12 job? Does Baylor want a head coach that feeds the media so many sound bites?
Lane Kiffin

Current position: Alabama offensive coordinator since 2014
Previous three coaching stops: USC (head coach, 2010-2013), Tennessee (head coach, 2009), Oakland Raiders (head coach, 2007-2008) Offensive style: Runs a pro-style, up-tempo spread offense Head coaching record: 35-21 in college, 5-15 in NFL Texas connections: Limited recruiting in the state while at Alabama, USC Culture implementation: His head coaching stops left a lot to be desired. He left Tennessee after one season and caused riots on his way out. His USC tenure was unsuccessful by Trojan standards but he dealt with the brunt of the Reggie Bush sanctions after Pete Carroll jumped ship to the NFL. Questions that need answering: Has his run with Nick Saban helped Kiffin overcome his past flaws? Does Kiffin want to inherit another head coach's scandal like he did at USC? Does he have enough Texas connections to succeed in the competitive recruiting market?
Les Miles
Staff Photographer LSU Tigers head coach Les Miles joins his team in singing the school song following a 37-27 win against the TCU Horned Frogs in NCAA college football action at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, August 31, 2013. (Brad Loper/The Dallas Morning News) 09012013xSPORTS2
Current position: Unemployed since September Previous three coaching stops: LSU (head coach, 2005-2016), Oklahoma State (head coach, 2001-2004), Dallas Cowboys (tight ends coach, 1998-2000) Offensive style: Runs a slower-paced offense, one of the reasons he fell out of good standing in Baton Rouge, but has said he is willing to modernize his offense. Head coaching record: 141-55, 8-6 in bowl games, one national championship (2007) Texas connections: Recruited Texas heavily and successfully during his time at LSU, Oklahoma State Culture implementation: Les Miles had a series of detractors for various things at LSU, but it's hard to forget how his players carried him off the field when he they defeated Texas A&M last year as rumors swirled about Miles' job security. Reports about the candidate and Baylor: CBS Sports reported that Miles is a candidate to replace Briles.
Questions that need answering: After years at a school with LSU's resources, would Miles want to go to a small, private university? Rhoades says he believes Baylor is a top-level job, but does it have the clout to draw a national championship-winning coach?

Current position: Oklahoma offensive coordinator since 2015 Previous two coaching stops: East Carolina (offensive coordinator, 2010-2014), Texas Tech (wide receivers coach, 2006-2009) Offensive style: Runs an Air Raid offense that made Baker Mayfield into a national name in Riley's first year in Norman Head coaching record: None Texas connections: Lubbock native who played at Texas Tech before starting his coaching career as a Red Raider, still recruits Texas heavily at Oklahoma Culture implementation: Without head coaching experience it's hard to judge him here, but Oklahoma's offense went from 464.7 yards per game the season before Riley's arrival to 530.2 per game in his first season in Norman. Questions that need answering: Rhoades said he is willing to hire a rising-star assistant, but is Riley the right guy for what Rhoades wants? Mike Singletary

Current position: Los Angeles Rams defensive assistant since 2016 Previous three coaching stops: Minnesota Vikings (special assistant to head coach/linebackers coach, 2011-2013), San Francisco 49ers (head coach, 2009-2010, linebackers coach, 2005-2008), Baltimore Ravens (linebackers coach, 2003-2004) Offensive style: Always known as a defensive coach Head coaching record: 18-22 in NFL Texas connections: Houston-native who earned All-American honors as a junior and senior linebacker at Baylor in 1979 and 1980 Culture implementation: He has never coached at the collegiate level, but Singletary is a Baylor legend who cares deeply about the program and already said he would "absolutely" consider coaching at his alma mater after Briles' dismissal. Questions that need answering: Does Baylor want to hire one of its own legends even if he has no collegiate coaching experience?
Candidates out of the running Jeff Brohm

Questions that need answering: Would Baylor overlook Brohm's lack of Texas connections to hire one the hottest young names in coaching circles? And what exactly does Brohm -- who once turned down an offer to be Nick Saban's offensive coordinator at Alabama to stay at Louisville -- want in his next coaching job? Reports connecting the candidate to Baylor: Yahoo! Sports reported that Baylor will interview Brohm for the job. Plan for next season: Brohm has accepted the position as head coach of Purdue.

Questions that need answering: Does Grobe, who was retired before he came back to coach at Baylor, even want to keep coaching after this season? Does Baylor view Grobe as a long-term answer? Plans for next year: Grobe announced that he has no plans to coach in 2017. Tom Herman

Questions that need answering: How much loyalty does Herman have to Rhoades, the man who hired him at Houston? Wouldn't Herman rather wait take one of the higher-profile Power Five conference jobs he's expected to be offered, like Texas or LSU? With Baylor's swirling scandals, is a move from Houston to Baylor even a move up for Herman? Plans for next year: Herman accepted the position as head coach of Texas. Chad Morris

Questions that need answering: Is Morris willing to leave SMU after just two seasons? Will the appeal of a jump to the Big 12 competition entice Morris to Waco? Reports about the candidate and Baylor: 247sports.com reported that Morris is one of the top candidates to replace Briles. Morris denied the Baylor rumors but there were additional reports that the two parties exchanged some contract figures. But it appears that Morris is asking for too much money for Baylor's liking. Plans for next season: Morris has informed his SMU players he will be returning to the Hilltop next season, according to multiple reports. Twitter: @AdamGrosbard

While more young people and families are renting, making their house a home is not always easy.
The one in four Australian households now renting must ask their landlord’s permission to spruce up the property in any way if it will impact on existing structures such as walls or floors.
While this can work well for both parties, in some cases tenants who decorate or update, improving the property’s amenity, are rewarded with a rent increase.
As house prices continue to soar, renting and its associated issues are on the rise.
An October 2013 Grattan Institute report found the proportion of renting households rose from 18.4 per cent in 1994-95 to 25.1 per cent in 2011-12.
Home ownership also fell from about 72 per cent in 1961 to 68 per cent now. The biggest drop was in the 25-44 age group, down from almost 80 per cent to about 75 per cent.
Tenants are also renting for longer. The report found 57 per cent of renting households in 2007-08 had been doing so for more than five years and a third for more than ten years.
State and territory laws vary slightly, but Australian tenants generally must ask their landlord if they want to make any changes that will mark a surface or install a fixture inside or outside the building.
Strictly speaking, this includes things as simple as hanging pictures if it puts a hole in the wall. Pets are usually prohibited unless you have a landlord who will make an exception.
Tenants’ Union of Queensland co-ordinator Penny Carr said tenants also needed permission to add things like wall mounted air conditioners.
Ms Carr said they could install curtains without permission if existing fixtures did not need modification, but had to ask if it involved new attachments.
She recommends written agreements covering all aspects, including what would happen to installed items when the tenant left.
“You really should ask about everything and put it in writing,” she said.
In some cases, the landlord may agree to the tenant not paying rent for a few weeks in exchange for home improvements, or pay for the materials. In others, tenants are not so lucky.
“The flip side we’ve heard from tenants who have put a lot of time and energy into the property is they get a rent increase because they’ve actually increased the amenity,” Ms Carr said.
Ms Carr said rental periods had increased slightly but in Queensland the most common term of a lease was just six months, compared with 12 months in southern states.
She said tenants would invest more in their properties if they knew they would be there longer or if there had to be a reason expressed in law for their eviction, rather than landlords being able to evict without any grounds.
“People don’t necessarily want to invest the time and energy if they’re not sure what’s going to happen,” she said.
In Victoria, Section 64 of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) prohibits tenants from installing any fixtures or making alterations without the landlord’s consent.
Tenants Union of Victoria (TUV) policy and liaison worker James Bennett agreed tenants should get such consent in writing.
The RTA does not mention pets so Mr Bennett said if a Victorian tenant had a pet or intended to get one they should make sure the landlord agrees in writing before the lease started.
“Once the landlord agrees to you having a pet, they cannot simply change their mind,” he said.
Mr Bennett does hear about disputes regarding fixtures and alterations, but they are not the major source of inquiries. In 2012-13 the union helped more than 16,000 clients. The top three issues were repairs, lease breaking and bonds, which accounted for more than 5000 cases.
“Many tenants do feel powerless and unfortunately the market conditions, particularly for low–income tenants, generally dissuade them from exercising the limited rights that they have,” he said.
The Grattan Institute’s Renovating Housing Policy found renters did not enjoy the same capacity to “make a home” as owners and typically could only make minor alterations at the discretion of the landlord.
“There are few rewards for tenants who improve their housing or devote time and money to keeping it in good condition,” the report said. “Renters often say they would like to be able to personalise their housing to make it a longer term ‘home’, and to have more flexibility to have pets.
“Many renters express a desire to keep pets for companionship. But many landlords and property managers have blanket rules against pet ownership, even in circumstances where it presents little or no risk.
“Other countries do not so severely restrict tenants’ capacity to make a home. For instance, in Germany renters can ordinarily keep small animals and make small holes in the wall to hang pictures.”
In Queensland renters must:
• Pay the rent according to your agreement.
• Keep the premises clean, having regard to their condition at the start of the tenancy.
• Repair any damage you or your visitors cause.
• If you live in a moveable dwelling park, keep your premises in a manner that does not detract from the standards of the park.
• Not cause a nuisance to neighbours or disturb other tenants or residents.
• Be responsible for the behaviour of your visitors.
• Get written permission if you wish to install fixtures or make changes to the premises.
• Get written permission if you wish to sub-let to another tenant.

Victorian tenants must:
• Not cause damage
• Notify your landlord of any damage as soon as possible
• Ensure you and your visitors respect your neighbours’ rights to privacy, peace and comfort
• Ensure the property is not used for any illegal purpose
• Obtain consent from the landlord before installing any fixtures, or making any alterations/renovations.

NSW tenant responsibilities
Alterations to premises
The residential tenancy agreement sets out the tenant’s rights and responsibilities in relation to adding fixtures, or making any renovation, alteration or addition to the residential premises.
A fixture is something like a built-in bookcase or air-conditioning unit, which is attached to the land or building and does not function independently.
If a tenant wants to add a fixture or make changes to the residential premises
A tenant requires either the prior written consent of the landlord, or ensure that this is covered by an additional term in the residential tenancy agreement. A landlord must not unreasonably withhold consent to a fixture, or to an alteration, addition or renovation that is of a minor nature. The tenant bears the cost of such improvements, unless the landlord agrees to cover the cost themselves.
If a tenant wants to remove a fixture
A tenant may, at their own cost and before they give vacant possession, remove any fixture that was installed in accordance with the Act or the residential tenancy agreement.
A tenant must notify the landlord of any damage caused by removing a fixture and must repair the damage, or compensate the landlord for the landlord’s reasonable expenses of repairing the damage.
A tenant may not remove a fixture without the consent of the landlord if the fixture was installed at the landlord’s expense or the landlord provided the tenant with a benefit equivalent to the cost of the fixture.
If there is a dispute over fixture and changes
If the landlord refuses to let a tenant install a fixture or make a renovation, alteration or addition, or remove a fixture installed by the tenant as provided for in the Act, then the tenant can apply to the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal for the appropriate order.
A landlord can also apply to the Tribunal for an order prohibiting the tenant from removing a fixture, or compensation for the cost of rectifying work done, regardless of whether the landlord consented to the carrying out of that work.

News Things to Do Life Sports Obituaries Legal Notices X Election may still draw thousands in person: ‘We don’t know what to expect’ Local News By Chris Stewart April 27, 2020 Today’s primary election — postponed and shifted to mail-in voting because of the coronavirus pandemic — may still draw thousands of in-person voters, threatening the health of voters and elections workers. The unprecedented extension of the March primary — compounded by mail delays — has left voters confused and many potentially without ballots in hand to complete before yesterday’s postmark deadline. The result could be what officials hoped to avoid — long lines at county boards of elections, said Brian Sleeth, Warren County’s elections director. “I have to plan for one,” he said. “We’re in uncharted territory. It’s hard to tell. We have no data to compare how many people to expect tomorrow.” Explore CORONAVIRUS: Complete coverage from the Dayton Daily News At least 36 people in Wisconsin tested positive for COVID-19 after reporting they voted in or worked the polls during that state’s controversial in-person election on April 7, according to news reports. Laura Bruns, the elections director in Miami County, said it’s difficult to gauge how many will show up, but her office is preparing for many hundreds. “We don’t know what to expect with no precedent,” she said. “We don’t know if we’re going to get 20 or 2,000.” The chaotic March 17 primary was halted the day before when Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine asked for a delay, which quickly wound up in court after the state’s health director ordered polling locations closed. MORE: Here’s what DeWine’s plan to reopen Ohio says, what businesses must do Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose initially issued a directive that the election be postponed until June 2, but the state legislature set the date today in a broad coronavirus response bill. “This was an issue Secretary LaRose and county elections officials foresaw and part of why both he and they provided a different path to the General Assembly. The legislature did not take their recommendations,” said Maggie Sheehan, a LaRose spokesperson, in a statement Monday. The legislature’s coronavirus package shifted Ohio’s election to a vote-by-mail primary and required ballot requests to be received by county boards by Saturday at noon and ballots postmarked yesterday. To be eligible, voters must still have been registered as of Feb. 18. PHOTOS: Let’s celebrate the Class of 2020 A state directive allowed for the disabled and homeless to vote in person today. But longstanding election law maintains county election boards must also issue a provisional ballot to any voter who would otherwise be required to vote provisionally, including those who requested an absentee ballot for the election. “We will provide provisional ballots to any voter who comes in but are not in one of those two classes,” Bruns said. To keep the number of in-person voters to a minimum, those with mail-in ballots should complete them and place in secure boxes today by 7:30 p.m. at their elections board, Sheehan said. “They should not consider this a backstop if they have received their ballot,” she said. “In-person voting … is intended only for disabled and voters without a home address.” Election boards must be open from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m., according to the House bill and subsequent directive. Calls were not returned Monday by elections officials in Greene and Montgomery counties. MORE: Judge orders facemasks be worn in several areas around court Charles Greene from Beavercreek said he and his wife Carla first requested mail-in ballots in late March. After a second request from the Greene County Board of Elections, their ballots finally arrived Saturday, he said. Greene said the “changes to the changes” of the election kept many voters – even those who tried to stay informed – off balance. “I don’t know how that was disseminated, but the early stages of that were not done right,” he said. Ballot applications were due to Ohio’s elections boards by noon Saturday. Miami County received as many as 300 ballot applications back on Monday, Bruns said. MORE: Coronavirus: Not wearing face masks would be ‘negligent,’ DeWine says Sleeth said 800 ballot applications came back to Warren County on Monday. Another 9,900 ballots have been sent out but not returned, he said. Many people might have properly requested a ballot, Sleeth said. “So those people would qualify to vote provisional and have their ballot counted,” he said. “If anybody comes here, we’re not supposed to turn them away.” County prosecutors are the legal counsel for boards of elections and have the discretion to determine how provisional votes are counted, according to the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office. “But it is expected that boards would all follow state law that states requests must be received by the noon Saturday deadline for an absentee ballot to count,” according to statement by Sheehan. Bruns said the Miami County Public Health is limiting to 10 the number of voters inside the Board of Elections today. Marks are being placed on the floor to keep people distanced and regular voters will be separated from those casting provisional ballots, Bruns said. Explore MORE: Coronavirus: Balancing ‘keeping people alive and keeping our economy going’ Voters at the Warren County Board of Elections will find similar measures to protect workers and voters, Sleeth said. Marks six-feet apart will be placed along the sidewalk to the building and down a long hallway to maintain social distancing. Only 10 people will be allowed in the office at a time. The usual eight processing stations will be cut to five in order to spread people. Two sheriff’s deputies will be on hand to handle parking or traffic issues. The highest in-person voting day at the Warren County Board of Elections came during the 2016 Presidential Election when 1,900 people cast ballots on a day early voting was offered, Sleeth said. He hopes numbers don’t top “three digits” today. “But I have to prepare for thousands of people to show up,” he said. “That might be a little unrealistic, but I can’t be caught any other way.” MORE: 1.25M Ohioans seek ballots in 1st mail-in only election Josh Swartzbaugh, a voter from Englewood, said he’s worried some people will have ballots returned due to lack of postage. Swartzbaugh went to mail his ballot Monday at the Trotwood post office and a worker there discovered the envelope provided by the Montgomery County Board of Elections wasn’t postage-paid, which is normal. Swartzbaugh said he paid the 55 cents postage, but others may not have noticed before dropping ballots in the mail: “How many other people did this happen to and do they know their vote might not be counted?” Montgomery County earlier this month was aware of a certain problem that affected 30 to 50 voters who received ballots with two internal envelopes and said replacement postage-paid envelopes were mailed to those voters.

Jordan Peele Has “No Intention” of Making ‘Get Out 2’ for Now, Says Producer | Observer Search for: Submit Observer Business | Arts | Entertainment | Newsletters Entertainment What to Watch Books Reviews Movies TV Theater Music Arts Visual Art Business Management Media Technology Space Lifestyle Fashion Travel Beauty About Masthead Editorial Ethics and Guidelines Advertise With Us Observer Advertising Guidelines Events Newsletters Movies Jordan Peele Has “No Intention” of Making ‘Get Out 2’ for Now, Says Producer Blumhouse Productions would love to make a 'Get Out' sequel, but only if Jordan Peele is interested. By Brandon Katz • 02/20/20 11:40am Should fans ever expect a sequel to Get Out? Universal Pictures Jordan Peele made his 2017 feature directorial debut Get Out, which landed him a Best Picture nomination and a screenplay award at the Oscars, for a measly $4.5 million (it’s still hard to believe Avengers: Endgame cost somewhere in the $400 million vicinity). Yet as we all know, Get Out erupted at the box office to the tune of more than $255 million worldwide, making it one of 2017’s most profitable films. Given that zeitgeist hit, fans have been hoping for a sequel ever since. SEE ALSO: Martin Scorsese Breaks Down His Next Film ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ In 2018, Jason Blum—the founder of Blumhouse Productions, the production company behind Get Out—teased that Peele may have been “flirting with the idea” of a sequel, igniting audience excitement throughout the Film Twitterverse. Yet the uber-producer had another, more disappointing update when speaking to Observer recently. “That was wishful thinking,” he said of his 2018 comments. “I think that was taken out of context. I think what I said and what I would still say is, I would love to make a Get Out sequel but we would only do it if Jordan wanted to do it and as far as I know, he has no intention of doing that.” The spirit is willing, but it doesn’t sound as if Peele is interested. To be fair, we should have expected this of the filmmaker as he has repeatedly discussed the importance of new concepts making their way to the silver screen. While explaining why he turned down Warner Bros.’ offer to helm a live-action Akira remake, Peele said that “the real question for me is: Do I want to do pre-existing material, or do I want to do original content? At the end of the day, I want to do original stuff.” While Get Out is his own original idea, a sequel would represent a return to pre-existing material. Back in 2017, he said that he had “four other social thrillers that I want to unveil in the next decade,” with 2019’s Us being the first. Though we may never be treated to a Get Out sequel, three more original concepts from Peele is one helluva consolation prize.

WAVES Weekly No.9
Waves Platform Blocked Unblock Follow Following Sep 17, 2016
Development Update
The coming week should see the release of full node code on testnet! After almost entirely rebuilding Scorex, we’ve addressed the outstanding issues with the network layer and fixed all outstanding bugs. We’ve now committed what should be the last few necessary (and critical) changes to the current testnet codebase. We plan to make a release by Monday, putting the results of the last three-plus months out to the community so that it can undergo a comprehensive stress test.
Assuming all goes well, that code will then be released publicly for mainnet, so that anyone will be able to run a node. The completion of this step will see the full decentralisation of the Waves network. There will be a bounty programme for anyone able to break testnet or identify significant bugs. Please join our Slack channel #testnet-maintainers to join in.
Assets and Future Developments
We initially considered releasing assets at the same time as mainnet, but have decided in the event to concentrate on mainnet whilst we carry out the final steps on the asset creation protocol. At present, our full focus is on decentralising the Waves network successfully; everything else will be built on this and additional functionality can be deployed quickly once this is achieved. Similarly, LPoS will follow at some point in the future — at present we will run with a vanilla PoS system and build on this as we go.
Before LPoS will come the first gateways, so that people can easily move fiat money into and out of the blockchain. We will then add centralised order matching, with blockchain settlement, to allow rapid but trustless trading on the blockchain. This will constitute the first production version of Waves. Additional features such as smart contracts will come at a later date.
‘Waves Weekly’ Video
Waves will be producing regular videos giving an overview of developments within the crypto space, as well as brief updates about Waves itself. This is an initiative we wanted to start as part of our overall marketing strategy. Since the Daily Decrypt stopped, there has been a gap in the market for such a short, accessible — and, hopefully, humorous — summary of developments in the crypto world. Waves is in a good position to address this, since we have the resources as well as the expertise. You can watch our pilot episode on YouTube:
Over the coming weeks we will refine the concept and hopefully this will become a regular event. It’s our plan to become not only a production-ready blockchain platform but a community of influencers and a hub for the broader crypto world.
For more complete information, you can find Sasha’s most recent AMA and a transcript here.

We do a lot of research and development on 3D printing systems at SD3D in an effort to improve the quality and reliability of our machines and to help select the best 3D printer technology available for our production factory. The 3D printer heated bed is perhaps one of the most important components on a 3D printer. Since this component is often overlooked in selecting a 3D printer, we decided to dedicate this post to reviewing different 3D printer heated build plates. Recently, we took six off-the-shelf desktop 3D printers and our proprietary 3DGenie FDM printer and compared the quality of the heated build plate (HBP) with respect to surface temperature gradients.
Why Are Temperature Gradients Bad on a 3D Printer Heated Bed?
So why do surface temperature gradients on the HBP even matter? Thermoplastics are very sensitive to temperature fluctuations, specifically when they are being rapidly extruded at temperatures well above their glass transition temperature (Tg). When there is a significant difference in temperature on one side of the HBP compared to the other, we call that a temperature gradient. These temperature gradients and environmental fluctuations are the leading factors that lead to part failure due to “warping”. This effect which we have come to describe as warping is little more than uneven shrinkage of the polymer that leads to a portion of the print dislodging itself prematurely from the bed. Temperature gradients above the 3D printer heated bed can also lead to an effect known as “delamination” in the case where the print remains adhered to the bed, but individual layers above the HBP surface begin to weaken and separate from each other. So if you want to have strong parts that print reliably, a good starting point would be to ensure your HBP is as uniform and gradient-free as possible. | positive |

How do I contact a board administrator? Login and Registration Issues Why do I need to register? You may not have to, it is up to the administrator of the board as to whether you need to register in order to post messages. However; registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, emailing of fellow users, usergroup subscription, etc. It only takes a few moments to register so it is recommended you do so. What is COPPA? COPPA, or the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, is a law in the United States requiring websites which can potentially collect information from minors under the age of 13 to have written parental consent or some other method of legal guardian acknowledgment, allowing the collection of personally identifiable information from a minor under the age of 13. If you are unsure if this applies to you as someone trying to register or to the website you are trying to register on, contact legal counsel for assistance. Please note that phpBB Limited and the owners of this board cannot provide legal advice and is not a point of contact for legal concerns of any kind, except as outlined in question “Who do I contact about abusive and/or legal matters related to this board?”. Why can’t I register? It is possible a board administrator has disabled registration to prevent new visitors from signing up. A board administrator could have also banned your IP address or disallowed the username you are attempting to register. Contact a board administrator for assistance. I registered but cannot login! First, check your username and password. If they are correct, then one of two things may have happened. If COPPA support is enabled and you specified being under 13 years old during registration, you will have to follow the instructions you received. Some boards will also require new registrations to be activated, either by yourself or by an administrator before you can logon; this information was present during registration. If you were sent an email, follow the instructions. If you did not receive an email, you may have provided an incorrect email address or the email may have been picked up by a spam filer. If you are sure the email address you provided is correct, try contacting an administrator. Why can’t I login? There are several reasons why this could occur. First, ensure your username and password are correct. If they are, contact a board administrator to make sure you haven’t been banned. It is also possible the website owner has a configuration error on their end, and they would need to fix it. I registered in the past but cannot login any more?! It is possible an administrator has deactivated or deleted your account for some reason. Also, many boards periodically remove users who have not posted for a long time to reduce the size of the database. If this has happened, try registering again and being more involved in discussions. I’ve lost my password! Don’t panic! While your password cannot be retrieved, it can easily be reset. Visit the login page and click I forgot my password. Follow the instructions and you should be able to log in again shortly. However, if you are not able to reset your password, contact a board administrator. Why do I get logged off automatically? If you do not check the Remember me box when you login, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the Remember me box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc. If you do not see this checkbox, it means a board administrator has disabled this feature. What does the “Delete cookies” do? “Delete cookies” deletes the cookies created by phpBB which keep you authenticated and logged into the board. Cookies also provide functions such as read tracking if they have been enabled by a board administrator. If you are having login or logout problems, deleting board cookies may help. User Preferences and settings How do I change my settings? If you are a registered user, all your settings are stored in the board database. To alter them, visit your User Control Panel; a link can usually be found by clicking on your username at the top of board pages. This system will allow you to change all your settings and preferences. How do I prevent my username appearing in the online user listings? Within your User Control Panel, under “Board preferences”, you will find the option Hide your online status. Enable this option and you will only appear to the administrators, moderators and yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user. The times are not correct! It is possible the time displayed is from a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, visit your User Control Panel and change your timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. If you are not registered, this is a good time to do so. I changed the timezone and the time is still wrong! If you are sure you have set the timezone correctly and the time is still incorrect, then the time stored on the server clock is incorrect. Please notify an administrator to correct the problem. My language is not in the list! Either the administrator has not installed your language or nobody has translated this board into your language. Try asking a board administrator if they can install the language pack you need. If the language pack does not exist, feel free to create a new translation. More information can be found at the phpBB® website. What are the images next to my username? There are two images which may appear along with a username when viewing posts. One of them may be an image associated with your rank, generally in the form of stars, blocks or dots, indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the board. Another, usually larger, image is known as an avatar and is generally unique or personal to each user. How do I display an avatar? Within your User Control Panel, under “Profile” you can add an avatar by using one of the four following methods: Gravatar, Gallery, Remote or Upload. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and to choose the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars, contact a board administrator. What is my rank and how do I change it? Ranks, which appear below your username, indicate the number of posts you have made or identify certain users, e.g. moderators and administrators. In general, you cannot directly change the wording of any board ranks as they are set by the board administrator. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank. Most boards will not tolerate this and the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count. When I click the email link for a user it asks me to login? Only registered users can send email to other users via the built-in email form, and only if the administrator has enabled this feature. This is to prevent malicious use of the email system by anonymous users. Posting Issues How do I create a new topic or post a reply? To post a new topic in a forum, click "New Topic". To post a reply to a topic, click "Post Reply". You may need to register before you can post a message. A list of your permissions in each forum is available at the bottom of the forum and topic screens. Example: You can post new topics, You can post attachments, etc. How do I edit or delete a post? Unless you are a board administrator or moderator, you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post by clicking the edit button for the relevant post, sometimes for only a limited time after the post was made. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic which lists the number of times you edited it along with the date and time. This will only appear if someone has made a reply; it will not appear if a moderator or administrator edited the post, though they may leave a note as to why they’ve edited the post at their own discretion. Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied. How do I add a signature to my post? To add a signature to a post you must first create one via your User Control Panel. Once created, you can check the Attach a signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio button in the User Control Panel. If you do so, you can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box within the posting form. How do I create a poll? When posting a new topic or editing the first post of a topic, click the “Poll creation” tab below the main posting form; if you cannot see this, you do not have appropriate permissions to create polls. Enter a title and at least two options in the appropriate fields, making sure each option is on a separate line in the textarea. You can also set the number of options users may select during voting under “Options per user”, a time limit in days for the poll (0 for infinite duration) and lastly the option to allow users to amend their votes. Why can’t I add more poll options? The limit for poll options is set by the board administrator. If you feel you need to add more options to your poll than the allowed amount, contact the board administrator. How do I edit or delete a poll? As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator or an administrator. To edit a poll, click to edit the first post in the topic; this always has the poll associated with it. If no one has cast a vote, users can delete the poll or edit any poll option. However, if members have already placed votes, only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it. This prevents the poll’s options from being changed mid-way through a poll. Why can’t I access a forum? Some forums may be limited to certain users or groups. To view, read, post or perform another action you may need special permissions. Contact a moderator or board administrator to grant you access. Why can’t I add attachments? Attachment permissions are granted on a per forum, per group, or per user basis. The board administrator may not have allowed attachments to be added for the specific forum you are posting in, or perhaps only certain groups can post attachments. Contact the board administrator if you are unsure about why you are unable to add attachments. Why did I receive a warning? Each board administrator has their own set of rules for their site. If you have broken a rule, you may be issued a warning. Please note that this is the board administrator’s decision, and the phpBB Limited has nothing to do with the warnings on the given site. Contact the board administrator if you are unsure about why you were issued a warning. How can I report posts to a moderator? If the board administrator has allowed it, you should see a button for reporting posts next to the post you wish to report. Clicking this will walk you through the steps necessary to report the post. What is the “Save” button for in topic posting? This allows you to save drafts to be completed and submitted at a later date. To reload a saved draft, visit the User Control Panel. Why does my post need to be approved? The board administrator may have decided that posts in the forum you are posting to require review before submission. It is also possible that the administrator has placed you in a group of users whose posts require review before submission. Please contact the board administrator for further details. How do I bump my topic? By clicking the “Bump topic” link when you are viewing it, you can “bump” the topic to the top of the forum on the first page. However, if you do not see this, then topic bumping may be disabled or the time allowance between bumps has not yet been reached. It is also possible to bump the topic simply by replying to it, however, be sure to follow the board rules when doing so. Formatting and Topic Types What is BBCode? BBCode is a special implementation of HTML, offering great formatting control on particular objects in a post. The use of BBCode is granted by the administrator, but it can also be disabled on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, but tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and >. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page. Can I use HTML? No. It is not possible to post HTML on this board and have it rendered as HTML. Most formatting which can be carried out using HTML can be applied using BBCode instead. What are Smilies? Smilies, or Emoticons, are small images which can be used to express a feeling using a short code, e.g. :) denotes happy, while :( denotes sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen in the posting form. Try not to overuse smilies, however, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may edit them out or remove the post altogether. The board administrator may also have set a limit to the number of smilies you may use within a post. Can I post images? Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag. What are global announcements? Global announcements contain important information and you should read them whenever possible. They will appear at the top of every forum and within your User Control Panel. Global announcement permissions are granted by the board administrator. What are announcements? Announcements often contain important information for the forum you are currently reading and you should read them whenever possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. As with global announcements, announcement permissions are granted by the board administrator. What are sticky topics? Sticky topics within the forum appear below announcements and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them whenever possible. As with announcements and global announcements, sticky topic permissions are granted by the board administrator. What are locked topics? Locked topics are topics where users can no longer reply and any poll it contained was automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons and were set this way by either the forum moderator or board administrator. You may also be able to lock your own topics depending on the permissions you are granted by the board administrator. What are topic icons? Topic icons are author chosen images associated with posts to indicate their content. The ability to use topic icons depends on the permissions set by the board administrator. User Levels and Groups What are Administrators? Administrators are members assigned with the highest level of control over the entire board. These members can control all facets of board operation, including setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc., dependent upon the board founder and what permissions he or she has given the other administrators. They may also have full moderator capabilities in all forums, depending on the settings put forth by the board founder. What are Moderators? Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) who look after the forums from day to day. They have the authority to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally, moderators are present to prevent users from going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material. What are usergroups? Usergroups are groups of users that divide the community into manageable sections board administrators can work with. Each user can belong to several groups and each group can be assigned individual permissions. This provides an easy way for administrators to change permissions for many users at once, such as changing moderator permissions or granting users access to a private forum. Where are the usergroups and how do I join one? You can view all usergroups via the “Usergroups” link within your User Control Panel. If you would like to join one, proceed by clicking the appropriate button. Not all groups have open access, however. Some may require approval to join, some may be closed and some may even have hidden memberships. If the group is open, you can join it by clicking the appropriate button. If a group requires approval to join you may request to join by clicking the appropriate button. The user group leader will need to approve your request and may ask why you want to join the group. Please do not harass a group leader if they reject your request; they will have their reasons. How do I become a usergroup leader? A usergroup leader is usually assigned when usergroups are initially created by a board administrator. If you are interested in creating a usergroup, your first point of contact should be an administrator; try sending a private message. Why do some usergroups appear in a different colour? It is possible for the board administrator to assign a colour to the members of a usergroup to make it easy to identify the members of this group. What is a “Default usergroup”? If you are a member of more than one usergroup, your default is used to determine which group colour and group rank should be shown for you by default. The board administrator may grant you permission to change your default usergroup via your User Control Panel. What is “The team” link? This page provides you with a list of board staff, including board administrators and moderators and other details such as the forums they moderate. Private Messaging I cannot send private messages! There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you from sending messages. Contact a board administrator for more information. I keep getting unwanted private messages! You can automatically delete private messages from a user by using message rules within your User Control Panel. If you are receiving abusive private messages from a particular user, report the messages to the moderators; they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages. I have received a spamming or abusive email from someone on this board! We are sorry to hear that. The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try and track users who send such posts, so email the board administrator with a full copy of the email you received. It is very important that this includes the headers that contain the details of the user that sent the email. The board administrator can then take action. Friends and Foes What are my Friends and Foes lists? You can use these lists to organise other members of the board. Members added to your friends list will be listed within your User Control Panel for quick access to see their online status and to send them private messages. Subject to template support, posts from these users may also be highlighted. If you add a user to your foes list, any posts they make will be hidden by default. How can I add / remove users to my Friends or Foes list? You can add users to your list in two ways. Within each user’s profile, there is a link to add them to either your Friend or Foe list. Alternatively, from your User Control Panel, you can directly add users by entering their member name. You may also remove users from your list using the same page. Searching the Forums How can I search a forum or forums? Enter a search term in the search box located on the index, forum or topic pages. Advanced search can be accessed by clicking the “Advance Search” link which is available on all pages on the forum. How to access the search may depend on the style used. Why does my search return no results? Your search was probably too vague and included many common terms which are not indexed by phpBB. Be more specific and use the options available within Advanced search. Why does my search return a blank page!? Your search returned too many results for the webserver to handle. Use “Advanced search” and be more specific in the terms used and forums that are to be searched. How do I search for members? Visit to the “Members” page and click the “Find a member” link. How can I find my own posts and topics? Your own posts can be retrieved either by clicking the “Show your posts” link within the User Control Panel or by clicking the “Search user’s posts” link via your own profile page or by clicking the “Quick links” menu at the top of the board. To search for your topics, use the Advanced search page and fill in the various options appropriately. Subscriptions and Bookmarks What is the difference between bookmarking and subscribing? In phpBB 3.0, bookmarking topics worked much like bookmarking in a web browser. You were not alerted when there was an update. As of phpBB 3.1, bookmarking is more like subscribing to a topic. You can be notified when a bookmarked topic is updated. Subscribing, however, will notify you when there is an update to a topic or forum on the board. Notification options for bookmarks and subscriptions can be configured in the User Control Panel, under “Board preferences”. How do I bookmark or subscribe to specific topics? You can bookmark or subscribe to a specific topic by clicking the appropriate link in the “Topic tools” menu, conveniently located near the top and bottom of a topic discussion. Replying to a topic with the “Notify me when a reply is posted” option checked will also subscribe you to the topic. How do I subscribe to specific forums? To subscribe to a specific forum, click the “Subscribe forum” link, at the bottom of page, upon entering the forum. How do I remove my subscriptions? To remove your subscriptions, go to your User Control Panel and follow the links to your subscriptions. Attachments What attachments are allowed on this board? Each board administrator can allow or disallow certain attachment types. If you are unsure what is allowed to be uploaded, contact the board administrator for assistance. How do I find all my attachments? To find your list of attachments that you have uploaded, go to your User Control Panel and follow the links to the attachments section. phpBB Issues Who wrote this bulletin board?

I think the headline says it all, right? PennLive.com has reported that Ocean City Maryland will allow women to go topless on their beaches… kind of.
The article below makes it sound like toplessness will fall under some “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. It’s not 100% true.
PennLive.com: “This summer, the Ocean City Beach Patrol says it is taking a new “hands off” approach when it comes to women sunbathing topless in the sand. Now the question is just how many women will take advantage and go topless on Ocean City beaches? And how will the rest of the beach-going public there react to what could become an R-rated day at the beach?
In a break with a more modest past, the Ocean City Maryland Beach Patrol will look the other way this summer when it comes to women sunbathing topless in the sand.
As WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh reports, the new beach patrol policy regarding women who doff their bikini tops on the beach was memorialized in a memo issued Tuesday by Capt. Butch Arbin, head of Ocean City Beach Patrol.
Under the beach patrol’s new policing rules, workers should document complaints of toplessness, but they shouldn’t approach topless women – even if beach-goers request it, WTAE reports.
In the past, the Ocean City Beach Patrol took a more active – some would say, prudish – approach to women caught sunbathing sans their tops.
Upon any complaints from more modest sunbathers, the patrol would approach the topless woman and “scold” her to cover up, saying, in effect, “hey, you can’t do that.”
Imagine working at the Ocean City tourism office today, when this came across the wire? The mayor had to just take his phone off the hook.
Turns out, they just want the life guards to worry about saving peoples lives and not policing breasts. The police will now respond to toplessness complaints.
Man, PennLive really got this one wrong. That’s Harrisburg’s biggest main new source. Ouch.
Despite what is being circulated on social media, the Town of Ocean City is not a topless beach and will not… https://t.co/oLmJICqWT0 — Town of Ocean City (@TownofOceanCity) June 9, 2017
You’re still “safe” to vacation in Ocean City, MD!

The teep is one of the most effective techniques in Muay Thai.
Known as a front or push kick by non-Muay Thai practitioners, teeps are an essential technique that all good Nak Muays (Thai Boxers) utilize to gain maximum advantage.
The teep is the Muay Thai equivalent of the jab in boxing. It is a versatile weapon that can be used on offense to set up your attacks, and it can be utilized as a defensive tool to interrupt your opponent.
This 5-part mini-series on the teep is going to talk about different aspects of the teep, and how you can use the teep to your full advantage.
I recommend you read all five articles so that you understand how each component can lead to the mastery of the Muay Thai teep.
Why You Should Master the Teep
If you haven’t already realized it by now, the teep is my favorite Muay Thai technique.
After reading this article, you should have a good understanding of why the teep is so useful, and why you should start focusing on improving your teep.
While some beginners like to concentrate on flashy techniques like spinning elbows and flying knees that they will never use, working on your teep is an investment into your Muay Thai fundamentals, and will pay dividends later on.
You will learn why the teep is one of the most underutilized techniques among Westerners.
Before coming to Thailand, I never understood how powerful the teep could be, until I experienced the power of the teep first hand.
The first time I sparred against a skilled Thai fighter, I couldn’t do anything. Every time I tried to attack the teep disrupted me. This was not only frustrating, but it also caused me to lose focus.
I had no idea what to do.
How can you throw anything against an opponent who has perfect timing in their teeps?
While I have improved my game drastically since those early few months in Thailand, fighters who have very good teeps still pose a lot of problems.
This article is going to break down everything you need to know about the teep. It is going to convince you that this technique is a must technique in every fighter’s arsenal. Outside of the body kick, almost every Nak Muay in Thailand has a good teep.
A Muay Thai fighter without a teep is a like a Boxer without a jab – the two go hand in hand.
The Defensive Potential of the Teep
While most people only think about their offense, one of the best uses of the teep is for defensive purposes. In fact, the teep is the perfect tool to counter most Western fighters who like to throw combinations.
A well-placed teep can disrupt the offensive flow of a fighter, just like a jab can interrupt an opponent as well. This was something that caused me a lot of problems when I encountered someone with a good teep.
The defensive potential of the teep is limitless.
The placement of the teep can cause different disruptions. For example, when your opponent goes to kick, a teep to the hip, chest or leg will disrupt their balance. Once you disrupt the balance of a fighter, they will not be able to execute the technique.
Skilled fighters understand the defensive potential of the teep and use it to maximize their advantage against different opponents.
If you ever fight an aggressive opponent who is always charging forward, the teep can end up being your best friend.
Frustrating Your Opponent
Have you ever heard of the saying that good defense leads to a better offense?
While this is a phrase often associated with other sports, the truth is that a good Muay Thai defense can lead to easier offensive opportunities.
One of the side effects of a good defence is that it can frustrate your opponent on offense.
If your opponent is having a hard time landing strikes against you, they will slowly start taking more risks on offense. By taking more risks, they will not be focused on their defence and will open themselves up to be counter attacked.
As a fighter, it is important to maintain your calm throughout the fight. You don’t want to fight frustrated because that will lead to mistakes. One mistake is all it takes to end up on the canvas unconscious.
Teeps are incredibly frustrating because they disrupt the offensive rhythm of fighters.
Imagine sparring someone who is constantly interrupting your offensive flow. After a few minutes, you will start getting annoyed when your typical go to moves don’t work anymore.
This will increase your tension and probably lead you to fight more aggressively than you want to.
Now that we understand the defensive importance of teeps, let’s look at some offensive uses of the teep.
The Offensive Potential of the Teep
Besides being a great all-purpose defensive tool, the teep is an excellent offensive weapon. Teeps can be used as a tool to set up your other strikes, or teeps can be used to cause damage on their own.
A well-placed teep to your lower abs has the same effect as a hard knee to the gut. If you time the teep right as your opponent is breathing out, you can wind them just like with a knee.
Additionally, teeping someone to their upper chest will knock them back a significant distance.
Once you establish your offense through the teep, it can also be used as an excellent fake to set up your other strikes. When you use your teep, your opponent will be forced to react to your teep every time you throw it. This can open the door for feints and counters off those fakes when your opponent bites at your feints.
While the teep is not a typical knockout technique, a well-placed teep to the chin or lower abdomens can be devastating.
Just like the jab in Boxing, the teep doesn’t have to be used with maximum force to be effective. Good timing is all it takes to be effective at the teep.
Controlling the Distance
Besides being an offensive and defensive weapon, the teep is a great tool to create space. Light teeps can off balance your opponent, while stronger teeps can knock them farther back.
Why is Distance Important in a Fight?
Every fighter has an ideal range that they like to fight in. If you fight against an evasive fighter, you will notice that they like to fight outside of your striking range. This allows them to dodge a lot of the strikes that you try to throw at them.
Conversely, heavy handed aggressive fighters want to try and step into your range and unload their punches on you.
The teep can help you dictate where the fight goes. If you face an opponent trying to press into your range, the teep will keep them at bay and help disrupt their fly. Against an evasive fighter, a good teep can be a great initiator against someone who is looking to counter off your strikes.
Skilled fighters understand how to utilize the teep effectively to stay in the right striking range.
A GIF is Worth a Thousand Words
I could continue to write about why you should master the teep, but to appreciate the effectiveness of a teep you need to watch it in action.
If you haven’t seen the power of the teep yet, maybe the following GIFs can help you understand why this technique is so important in Muay Thai.
This video showcases how a well-placed teep can completely off balance an opponent. Notice how the fighter didn’t throw much power in the teep, he just timed it as his opponent went to kick.
This is an excellent example of the jumping teep. Notice how much distance can be covered by the fighter. It is an excellent technique to use to control the range.
This is another example of the teep been used to control the distance in the fight.
Same fight as above, and the same resulting teep. A strong teep can give a fighter a distinct advantage in a fight because they can choose when they want to engage.

danger garden: My orchid on a stick bloomed! And other goings on... Tuesday, October 1, 2019 My orchid on a stick bloomed! And other goings on... While portions of the U.S. are baking in still-summer-like heat, we up here in the northwest corner of the country are freezing. As a result of this untimely cold snap—it's 37 out there this morning—the autumn Great Migration of plants has flipped. Usually I start by taking in the dry-loving succulents, and the bromeliads and things that aren't bothered by a little moisture stay out until well in to October, maybe even November. Not this year. On a sunny day last week I started pulling them in. The "orchids on a stick" I purchased last year at the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival, in Seattle, spent summer on the trellis next to the garage. Truth be told I kind of forgot about them, what with all the bromeliads tucked in around them. So imagine my surprise when I pulled them down and spotted this on the Bulbophyllum saurocephalum... What the heck!? I never imagined this thing would actually bloom, I bought it for the foliage. Look at those tiny little flowers. Pretty cool eh? And is that a seed? Crazy. So here's what the basement currently looks like. The bromeliad collection may have grown a bit. They've even crept over into the succulent side. I need to start bringing in the succulents this week. They've already been out in much more rain than I like. Our Septembers are usually dry, not this year. Back over to the bromeliad side. Yes, I know what you're thinking. That's a lot of plants. I agree. I carried them all downstairs. After reading about Kim at Urban Soule purchasing a humidity meter for her (now indoor) bromeliads, well, I copied her. My plants are so wet from all the rain that the humidity reading is high. "Most bromeliads grow best indoors at a relative humidity of 40 to 60 percent" (source) not a problem... Weather Diary, Sept 30: Hi 60, Low 39/ Precip 0 All material © 2009-2019 by Loree Bohl for danger garden. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited and just plain rude. Labels: Bromeliad, flowers, my garden, Tillandsia, weather 24 comments: Alison October 01, 2019 My greenhouse thermometer also gives me a humidity reading, which is useful. I keep all my tender succulents under the front porch roof, so they hadn't been rained on, I actually gave each one a drink as I put it away. This weather has been so freakish, it was 35 here yesterday and this morning. Hope your plants all survive their winter either in the basement or in the shadehouse/greenhouse. Maybe we'll have a really early spring and be able to bring things out early next year, to make up for having to bring them in a month ahead of time. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Freakish indeed, and a really early spring would be lovely! Delete Replies Reply Reply Lorinda October 01, 2019 I would really like to live in that bromeliad room. It looks like heaven. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 There is a guest bed in the corner of the basement. Delete Replies Reply Reply Kris Peterson October 01, 2019 Well, your bromeliad collection will be a pleasant backdrop for those cold days you spend inside. That orchid is wonderful and I hope you're enjoying it. It's getting colder here too but a warm-up is said to be coming. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Ya we should be back up to normal October temperatures be the second half of the weekend...yay! Delete Replies Reply Reply luv2garden October 01, 2019 Funny how the collection seems to expand over the summer. Your basement will be a lovely place to wile away the dark winter months. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Odd how that works isn't it? Delete Replies Reply Reply chavliness October 01, 2019 It's almost a blessing that you had to bring plants indoors or you would have missed the orchid bloom! I spotted what appears to be Andrew's creative work area. He must appreciates the welcoming atmosphere that you created with bromeliad wall; it looks great. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Yes I suppose you're right about that. As for Andrew appreciating the bromeliads...tolerate would be a better word choice... Delete Replies Reply Reply Eliza Waters October 01, 2019 UP the stairs, and DOWN the stairs... No problem getting those 10,000 steps in this week, Loree, while creating your basement jungle. They look happy for having spent the summer outdoors. Love that diminutive orchid flower, quite charming. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Yes I agree, they all seem to have enjoyed the summer. Even if it was short... Delete Replies Reply Eliza Waters October 02, 2019 There's never enough summer to my mind. Delete Replies Reply Reply Sheila Schultz October 01, 2019 How stupid crazy is that I want to help a few Bromeliad's live plus lots of T's in Tucson? I'm starting out with T's and trying to keep alive a few Bromeliad's. Wish me luck! Seems so wrong. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Good luck! I don't think it's stupid crazy at all. The heart wants what it wants. Delete Replies Reply Reply Linda Brazill October 01, 2019 Does Andrew have his own basement? Sorry! I couldn’t help myself. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Ha! He used to have a desk where the flat surface full of bromeliads is now (the 16th photo) but decided to reduce his studio space to fit along the east wall, a series of flat surfaces, filing cabinets and a desk. I quickly took over that space for plants. Delete Replies Reply Reply ks October 01, 2019 I don't have to bring anything in yet, but I'm starting to strategize .Protecting the Mangaves from snails when the rains start is the main task for outside-they were brutal last year but I'm pleased with how well they outgrew the damage. How crappy that you have to start schlepping things inside in Sept ! I looked it up and my first frost last year was not til the beginning of December-but we had rain in fall. ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Our first frost was crazy late last year, at least December. Of course we haven't technically had a frost yet. Maybe this will be it for awhile. Hmm, that would be nice. Good luck with the mangaves! Delete Replies Reply Reply SoundGardener October 01, 2019 My festival orchid purchase, a Pleurothallis pectinata, has been doing great as well; the leaves vaguely remind me of giant pendant Moluccella laevis bracts. As for the weather, I think we deserved a late winter this year after such a delayed spring. Temperature, much like humidity, really should not drop below 40 in my opinion! ReplyDelete Replies danger garden October 02, 2019 Oh I like the looks of that Pleurothallis pectinata, I wonder if I will be able to resist adding to the collection at the next festival? February seems so far away. And ya, temperatures never going below 40, that would be dreamy! Delete Replies Reply Reply Lisa at Greenbow October 02, 2019 It appears that you transferred half of your garden to your basement. You will have a lot to keep you busy this winter. A delightful space. The orchid is most interesting. I haven't seen one like that before. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Peter/Outlaw October 02, 2019 Your basement looks divine! Funny how the plant collections seem to get larger somehow. I wonder how that happens? ReplyDelete Replies Reply Hoover Boo October 07, 2019 That is 1 beautiful basement.

Near-death experiences occur when the soul leaves the nervous system and enters the universe, claim two quantum physics experts
Ground-breaking theory holds that quantum substances form the soul
They are part of the fundamental structure of the universe
Life after death: Dr Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona, advanced the theory on a television documentary
A near-death experience happens when quantum substances which form the soul leave the nervous system and enter the universe at large, according to a remarkable theory proposed by two eminent scientists.
According to this idea, consciousness is a program for a quantum computer in the brain which can persist in the universe even after death, explaining the perceptions of those who have near-death experiences.
Dr Stuart Hameroff, Professor Emeritus at the Departments of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Centre of Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, has advanced the quasi-religious theory.
It is based on a quantum theory of consciousness he and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose have developed which holds that the essence of our soul is contained inside structures called microtubules within brain cells.
They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).
Thus it is held that our souls are more than the interaction of neurons in the brain. They are in fact constructed from the very fabric of the universe - and may have existed since the beginning of time.
The concept is similar to the Buddhist and Hindu belief that consciousness is an integral part of the universe - and indeed that it is really all there may be, a position similar to Western philosophical idealism.
With these beliefs, Dr Hameroff holds that in a near-death experience the microtubules lose their quantum state, but the information within them is not destroyed. Instead it merely leaves the body and returns to the cosmos.
Shocked back to life: The theory holds that when patients have a near death experience their quantum soul is released from the body and re-enters the cosmos, before returning when they are revived
Dr Hameroff told the Science Channel's Through the Wormhole documentary: 'Let's say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state.
'The quantum information within the microtubules is not destroyed, it can't be destroyed, it just distributes and dissipates to the universe at large.
'If the patient is resuscitated, revived, this quantum information can go back into the microtubules and the patient says "I had a near death experience".'
He adds: 'If they're not revived, and the patient dies, it's possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely, as a soul.'
Evidence: Dr Hameroff believes new findings about the role quantum physics plays in biological processes, such as the navigation of birds, will one day prove his theory
The Orch-OR theory has come in for heavy criticism by more empirically minded thinkers and remains controversial among the scientific community.
MIT physicist Max Tegmark is just one of the many scientists to have challenged it, in a 2000 paper that is widely cited by opponents, the Huffington Post reports. | positive |

Types of Musical Events – Austin Music Connection Skip to content Austin Music Connection Making music with our friends Menu Welcome! Events Our Music Join Us! Contact Search for: Search Types of Musical Events Austinmusic.fun is website that supports the Austin Music Connection on Meetup.com as an information and link hub. The purpose is to connect people together to have fun making music. Here’s a set of groups that we wish to support in this endeavor… A Core Group A core group is a group of people who will work on a specific set of songs in order to (a) improve their musicianship, and (b) achieve a better sound through working with the same musicians. The core group will share some musical tastes. The person who leads a song is responsible for determining instrumentation, vocals, harmonies and any other musical arrangements. Most of the music will be repeated at the next session, with new musical pieces introduced and older ones de-emphasized over time. We’ll be looking at organizing a core group in the near future, possible centered on classic rock. Sing-Along A sing-along consists of people bringing in music (or using a stock set of music). Each person in turn selects and leads a song. Song Circle A song circle is similar to a sing-along, but is more focused on each individual. In turn, each person tells us what he/she wants on a song – – which song, who plays it, who sings it. One of our members wrote a really good description of a Song Circle. Here it is: “What I am looking for is a song circle instead of a jam session. I was part of a group up in Seattle that was just that, and I loved it. Basically we all sit in a circle and take turns sharing a song or whatever you’re working on. On your turn, if you prefer to go solo great, but if you want you can invite 1, 2 or all of the group to join in. The point is it is your choice. You can try out an original song and ask for feedback. You could be trying to learn a new song, but can’t quite figure out one part, so ask for help. But the main point is getting used to playing in front of others, and sharing your songs and performances with the group.” We held a song circle in January, and it will be repeated. Open Mic Prep Who wants to do an open mic, but you want to do it with somebody else (or multiple somebody else)? We’re going to start connecting people who are interested in doing open mics. Consider also sending us a message through the Meetup website. Improvization I’d love to have someone write a good description of an improvisation session for music. It’s not my forté, but several people in this group have expressed an interest. I’m helping organize one, but I’ve written the date as “December 31, 2020.” That’s not the real date – – when I get about 10 people interested, I’ll move forward with it (as I figure you need to have at least 5 to make it work, and with scheduling stuff its hard to find a time that works for everybody). Here’s a link to the recruiting efforts so far: https://www.meetup.com/Austin-Music-Connection/events/267888589/ See also “Jam Session” below. Jam Session “A jam session is a relatively informal musical event, process, or activity where musicians, typically instrumentalists, play improvised solos and vamp on tunes, songs and chord progressions. … Both styles can be used simply as a social gathering and communal practice session.” – “Jam Session – Wikipedia” A Band Yeah, yeah, yeah! That’s right! Some people want to form a band who will play songs together whether for fun or to improve and move forward with music. Although Austin Music Connection is one possibly place to find other band members, another Meetup group is probably a better place to get it together. Here’s a link to “Let’s Start a Beginner’s Band.” https://www.meetup.com/Lets-Start-A-Beginners-Band I’m not seeing quite what I’m looking for… Not finding what you want? There’s a great Meetup group in Austin called “Let’s Start a Beginners Band.” It’s not just for beginners, but for others, too. https://www.meetup.com/Lets-Start-A-Beginners-Band Search for: Search Archives October 2019 November 2018 Meta Log in Entries feed Comments feed WordPress.org Powered by ThemeForDummies.com Back to Top | negative |
While Trump uses the Twitter handle, @realDonaldTrump, markets are trading based on which Trump persona is on display and markets need to know which is the real Donald Trump - the one that delivered an impressive State of the Union and is focused on lower taxes and regulation, or the Trump that seems to hold grudges and gets focused on tangential issues?
I think this chart shows quite clearly that markets have been trading in line with what Trump is doing - there are clearly other factors such as the Fed and the European elections, but this chart does a very nice job cutting through the noise and showing the importance of Trump on the markets.
The market had some Inauguration Jitters coming into the inauguration as there was a high degree of uncertainty of how POTUS would act or behave.
He spurred the market with a busy first week, starting with some executive orders on shortly after inauguration and culminating with orders to allow the Keystone pipeline to proceed.
That rally was undone by the Immigration Executive Order that came out late Friday – undoing much of the ‘presidential’ behavior of the first week.
We went through a period of calm, a brief, small pop (that I couldn’t find attribute to Trump) and then another period of little to nothing going on.
Then, he was in D.C. and tax focused, amongst other policy initiatives, where he seemed to tone down the rhetoric that had concerned the market, while focusing on the things that the market liked – lower taxes and less regulation. I think the meeting with Abe from Japan occurred during this period as well.
Then we held steady as the market had some State of the Union jitters, which the impromptu press conference did little to contain.
Without a doubt he then delivered what was viewed as a very successful and conciliatory State of the Union address. Both sides of the aisle cheered parts and the markets did well.
Then he seemed to focus on Russia & wiretapping in a Tweetstorm that has left many shaking their head and wondering what happened to the Donald Trump that had stood up on Tuesday and so clearly led the nation.
While we have the Fed, French Elections, Greek Debt, OPEC and dozens of other stories driving the market – I still think that what matters most for markets is which Donald Trump stands up? | positive |

Work toward a potential sidewalk to connect two Crestwood neighborhoods is continuing. At a neighborhood association meeting in March, residents of Crestwood North approved the use of up to $12,500 in neighborhood funds to continue work on the Sister Neighborhoods sidewalk plan, a program that aims to connect neighborhoods that are close geographically but distant socially. These funds would be used to hire a firm to produce plans for the sidewalks on 56th Street S and 5th Ave S. This is the first step toward the installation of new sidewalks, which will help breach an artificial barrier between two historically racially segregated neighborhoods — Crestwood North, which is predominantly white, and Oak Ridge Park, which is predominantly black — said Darrel O’Quinn, the Crestwood North neighborhood association president. Oak Ridge Park took another step toward completing the project by approving the proposed sidewalk on 5th Avenue South. “We’re just waiting to see if we’re going to have to use an outside engineering firm to actually work on the design plan for it,” said Myeisha Hutchinson, neighborhood association president for Oak Ridge Park. A price of $1,000 from each neighborhood has been quoted for work on the plan, but the money for the project will have to come from the city capital improvement plan, which is budgeted through the city budget. Hutchinson said this street has been a problem for years, and this is a project that will make it safer for people who use it for biking and walking their dogs. It will also potentially reduce traffic speed in this area.

The government has failed to meet its own targets for cutting the environmental impact of the state’s operations, according to a Defra report quietly published last month.
The “greening government commitments”, which began when David Cameron declared he would lead the “greenest government ever” in 2010, were intended to deliver big cuts in carbon emissions, domestic flights, waste and water usage.
Efforts fell short on all counts, though the reductions that were achieved still saved taxpayers £185m in the last year.
Ministers have been heavily criticised for cuts to a swath of green policies, including renewable energy and energy efficiency, and a leaked letter in November revealed the government is not on track the meet the nation’s EU obligation for green energy in 2020.
“Ministers’ failure to hit almost all of these targets means a bigger bill for taxpayers and more damage to the environment,” said Lisa Nandy, Labour’s shadow energy and climate secretary. “If the government can’t even cut its own pollution footprint, how can anyone have confidence they will cut Britain’s?”
“The government has still managed to save £185m in energy, waste and water costs, showing that environmental protection makes economic sense too,” said Craig Bennett, head of Friends of the Earth. “The government must end its relentless attacks on green issues and make the reduction of the nation’s environmental footprint a top priority.”
Ministers had targeted a 25% cut in carbon emissions from government buildings and travel in 2014-15, compared to 2009-10, but achieved 22%. The failure was largely due to the Ministry of Defence, which accounts for half of all government emissions and cut its emissions by 19%.
Emission cuts came largely from improved energy efficiency and accounted for 90% of the money saved. But the government recently cut plans to improve energy efficiency in people’s homes by 80%. George Osborne’s Treasury, often blamed for the government’s anti-green moves, cut its own emissions by 56%, one of the largest savings.
More than 169,000 domestic flights were taken by government officials in 2014-15, unchanged from the year before. This represents an 18% cut compared to 2009-10, but falls short of the 20% target.
Just eight of 22 departments met the target, while domestic flights by environment department staff actually increased and those from the culture department more than doubled. Health department flights plummeted, however, by 62%.
Waste reductions also failed to improve last year, with the overall cut at 22% compared to the 25% target. The Department of Energy and Climate Change’s waste went up by 18%, while that at the Department for Education fell by 62%.
On water use, just six departments managed to meet the good practice benchmark set as a target and 12 of the 22 departments met a target on transparency on the steps they were taking to be greener. But the government slashed its paper use by 38% overall, far above the 10% target.
“While the headline achievements may fall slightly short of the targets set for 2014-15, the picture at department level shows that many departments are meeting and exceeding targets, while others are recording valiant reductions in face of significant operational challenges,” said ministers Oliver Letwin and Rory Stewart in a foreword to the report.
A spokesman for the environment department said: “Following this success we are developing a new set of greening government commitments to see how we can go further, making the UK even greener.”
But Bennett criticised the government for missing its targets. “This says everything about the incompetence of this government when it comes to protecting the environment,” he said. “For months ministers have been systematically undermining national efforts to tackle climate change, and now we learn that they’ve failed to meet a whole range of green targets for their own performance too.” | positive |

Had we been wild and spontaneous enough to buy a MacBook Air in Australia in 2011, we'd have been looking at a 15 percent premium over the US price. According to MacRumors, throwing some Adobe software into our antipodean shopping cart would have pushed that disparity even higher -- to as much as to 75 percent. Which is why the Australian Parliament has been investigating the way tech giants price their goods in that country, and why it has now formally summoned Apple, Microsoft and Adobe to come over and account for themselves in Canberra on March 22nd. Whether price differences are due to higher costs of taxes and warranties, as Apple has privately suggested in the past (see More Coverage), or whether there are more dubious reasons, this pile of laundry is about to get aired. | positive |
Vicenç Navarro - Publico.es
La cobertura de lo que está ocurriendo en las elecciones primarias para el cargo de Presidente de EEUU por parte de los mayores medios de información españoles es, con limitadísimas excepciones, muy sesgada, traduciendo la orientación conservadora y/o neoliberal que caracteriza a la gran mayoría de tales medios. La bien conocida (a nivel internacional) falta de diversidad ideológica en la televisión y radio españolas, así como en la prensa escrita, con escasísima presencia de voces críticas de sensibilidad progresistas de izquierdas, se refleja en su presentación de lo que está ocurriendo en aquel país. Sus corresponsales en EEUU se limitan, por lo general, a traducir al castellano (o al catalán en Catalunya) lo que dicen los mayores medios de información estadounidenses, sin ir más allá y sin profundizar críticamente en lo que dicen aquellos medios. Y para complicar más las cosas, en su traducción de lo que dice la prensa estadounidense al español, copian literalmente lo que se escribe en tales medios, sin darse cuenta de que algunos términos tienen un significado opuesto a los dos lados del Atlántico. Así, el término “liberal” en EEUU se utiliza en aquel país para definir a un político que apoya el intervencionismo del Estado en la actividad económica, proponiendo medidas redistributivas y expansión del gasto público. Liberal, en EEUU, quiere decir lo que en Europa se conoce como socialdemócrata, mientras que en este continente, y por lo tanto en España, liberal define a un político que está en contra del intervencionismo del Estado, desfavorece las políticas redistributivas, y promueve la privatización de lo público. Definir en los medios españoles a los políticos de la izquierda estadounidense como liberales crea enormes confusiones en España (ver, como ejemplo de este error, el artículo de la corresponsal de El País en Washington, Amanda Mars, “Sanders centra su estrategia en asociar a Clinton con el poder financiero”, El País, 06/02/2016).
¿Qué pasa en EEUU?
Hoy, la noticia mayor que existe en EEUU es que un candidato a la Presidencia del país, que se presenta (sin tapujos y orgulloso de serlo) como socialista, y que pide una revolución política, utilizando esta expresión en cada uno de sus actos electorales, está causando un tsunami político semejante al que ha ocurrido en España con Podemos o con el candidato laborista británico, el Sr. Corbyn, en el Reino Unido. En las primeras elecciones primarias en el país para el cargo de Presidente de EEUU, que tuvieron lugar hace unos días en el Estado de Iowa, tal candidato socialista empató con la candidata claramente apoyada por el aparato del Partido Demócrata, la Sra. Hillary Clinton, que contaba con el claro apoyo, no solo de aquel aparato, sino también del establishment político mediático de aquel partido. Y esta casi victoria del Sr. Bernie Sanders, que es el candidato socialista, ocurrió a pesar de la clara hostilidad que sufrió su candidatura por parte de los mayores medios de información (prensa y televisión) de aquel país (tal como también ocurrió con Podemos en España y con el Sr. Corbin en el Reino Unido). Predeciblemente, tal hostilidad o animosidad ha aparecido, no solo en los mayores medios de información de EEUU, sino también de España, cuya cobertura mediática de la vida política de EEUU, como he dicho en el párrafo anterior, se limita, la mayoría de las veces, a la mera traducción al castellano (o al catalán en Catalunya) de lo que dicen los mayores medios de información estadounidenses.
El surgimiento de este movimiento antiestablishment, liderado por Bernie Sanders, tiene características semejantes a lo que ha estado pasando en España y en Reino Unido, y responde a una situación común en los tres países: las clases populares están hartas del maridaje entre los intereses económicos y financieros de las grandes empresas que constituyen la clase corporativa (the corporate class) por un lado, y las instituciones representativas por el otro, que las han transformado en meros instrumentos de tal clase. Tal situación ha sido posible por la privatización del proceso electoral en EEUU, donde todo candidato a un cargo electoral puede recibir tanto dinero como pueda generar y, a través de lo que se llaman Super PACs, financiar su campaña, comprando tanto espacio televisivo como quiera, sin que exista ninguna regulación al acceso a tales medios. La mayoría de los fondos que la clase política (lo que se llamaría casta en España) recibe, procede de las grandes empresas de la corporate class, el 1% top de la sociedad por su nivel de renta que controla o tiene una enorme influencia, también en la mayoría de los medios de información y persuasión del país.
La consecuencia de este maridaje entre el mundo del capital y las instituciones políticas es que las políticas aprobadas por el Congreso de EEUU (hoy controlado por la ultraderecha estadounidense, financiada masivamente por los elementos estadounidenses comparables al IBEX-35 de España), sistemáticamente favorecen sus intereses a costa de los del mundo del trabajo, que constituye la mayoría de las clases populares de EEUU.
Tal situación también afecta a gran parte del Partido Demócrata. Fue precisamente el Presidente Clinton el que desreguló la banca (siendo su Ministro de Finanzas Robert Rubin, que era en su vida privada uno de los mayores banqueros de Wall Street, el centro financiero de EEUU), creando las bases para que se diera la mayor crisis financiera que el país ha vivido desde la Gran Depresión, crisis que ha creado un gran descenso del nivel de vida de las clases populares, a la vez que ha acentuado un incremento incluso más intenso de las desigualdades existentes en EEUU. Como constantemente señala Bernie Sanders, “una décima parte del 1% superior de la población controla el 90% de la riqueza del país”. Y los datos, fácilmente accesibles, señalan la veracidad y credibilidad de su mensaje.
La revuelta popular en contra del establishment político-mediático
Resultado de esta situación, la legitimidad y popularidad de las instituciones políticas están por los suelos. La enorme abstención en el proceso electoral de la población, (y muy en particular de las clases populares), es un indicador de esta pérdida de fe en ellas. El “no nos representan” del 15M tuvo una gran resonancia también en EEUU a través del movimiento Occupy Wall Street, inspirado, en parte, por el 15M español. De ahí que la llamada del candidato Bernie Sanders a una revolución política que rompa este maridaje entre la corporate class y las instituciones que se definen, sin serlo, como demócratas, son un elemento central de su mensaje. Su tesis, fácilmente sostenible, es que sin tal revolución política no se darán los cambios políticos que está proponiendo, que son, ni más ni menos, que propuestas características de la socialdemocracia, antes de que ésta se transformara en social-liberalismo como ha ocurrido en la mayoría de países europeos, incluyendo España. Un indicador de esta situación es que el candidato Pedro Sánchez a Presidente del Gobierno por parte del Partido Socialista, pidiera el asesoramiento de Larry Summers, que fue, junto con Robert Rubin, el arquitecto de la desregulación financiera cuando fue nombrado Ministro de Finanzas (Secretary of the Treasury) como sucesor de Rubin en aquel cargo bajo el Presidente Clinton.
Las propuestas del candidato socialista
Entre las propuestas de Sanders, se encuentra la de romper con los grandes bancos, dividiéndolos en entidades más pequeñas que, además, devuelvan el rescate de fondos públicos que los salvó del colapso (con intereses incluidos) medidas todas ellas altamente populares. Tiene también en su programa, como medidas estrella, hacer una inversión masiva en obras públicas, facilitando la transición de las fuentes de energía, pasando de ser fósiles a renovables (proponiendo crear 13 millones de puestos de trabajo) y establecer una reforma sanitaria, para garantizar la universalidad del acceso al sistema sanitario (hoy, en EEUU, hay más muertes por falta de acceso a los servicios sanitarios, y no poder pagar las facturas médicas, que por Sida). Y el grado de cobertura sanitaria es muy insuficiente: el 45% de personas que se están muriendo (es decir, con enfermedades terminales) expresan preocupación de que no saben cómo ellos o sus familiares pagarán sus facturas médicas.
Otra propuesta muy popular del candidato Sanders es llevar a cabo las reformas que permitan el acceso a todos los niveles del sistema educativo (desde las escuelas de infancia a las universidades), a todos los niños y jóvenes independientemente de la clase social de sus padres, medida muy popular y necesaria pues, debido al enorme encarecimiento tanto de las escuelas de infancia como de las matrículas universitarias (tanto públicas como privadas), el acceso a tales centros por parte de las clases populares ha disminuido de una manera muy marcada. De ahí que el 80% de las personas de 18 a 30 años apoyaron a Sanders en las primarias de Iowa. Y lo mismo ocurrirá mañana en New Hampshire. Y a nivel nacional, según la mayoría de encuestas, un porcentaje semejante de jóvenes apoya a Sanders. Por otra parte, según los últimos sondeos de apoyo popular, citados por el Financial Times (06/02/2016), los candidatos Clinton y Sanders están hoy muy igualados en apoyo entre los miembros del Partido Demócrata (Clinton 44%, Sanders 42%).
¿Podría un socialista llegar a ser Presidente de EEUU?
Existe una percepción bastante extendida en los mayores medios de información de que un candidato socialista no podrá ganar las elecciones de EEUU. En realidad, algunos dirigentes del Partido Demócrata, incluyendo la Sra. Clinton, consideran que la victoria del candidato socialista en las primarias del Partido Demócrata sería el mejor regalo que se le podría dar al Partido Republicano, al hacerle muy fácil el camino de este último hacia su victoria, debido a la enorme vulnerabilidad que representa el hecho de que Sanders sea socialista y se enorgullezca de su socialismo.
Tal opinión a primera vista parecería razonable teniendo en cuenta los estereotipos que se reproducen en los medios sobre EEUU. Ahora bien, tal línea de argumentación ignora que según las principales encuestas (la última, Real Clear Politics Average), el candidato Sanders ganaría a Donald Trump y Ted Cruz -los dos candidatos republicanos con mayor apoyo electoral- con un margen de victoria sobre estos candidatos mayor que el sostenido por la otra candidata del Partido Demócrata, la Sra. Hillary Clinton, que cuenta con el claro apoyo del establishment del Partido Demócrata.
¿Permitiría el Congreso de EEUU que se aplicaran las propuestas de Sanders?
Ni que decir tiene que este supuesto sería cierto en caso de que el Congreso estuviera controlado por la ultraderecha que domina hoy el Partido Republicano. Ahora bien, si el candidato Sanders ganara, sería un indicador de que habría creado un movimiento a lo largo del país que se traduciría en un cambio en la configuración del mismo Congreso en el día de las elecciones presidenciales, que coinciden con las elecciones al Congreso. El candidato Sanders, durante su campaña, ha señalado repetidamente la importancia de crear un movimiento progresista de profundas convicciones demócratas, claramente comprometido con un cambio político revolucionario, anulando, por ejemplo, la enorme influencia (que alcanza niveles de control) que la clase corporativa (the corporate class), el 1% de la población con mayores ingresos (la clase de billonarios como la llama Sanders), tiene sobre el proceso electoral y sobre las instituciones representativas.
¿Podrían pagarse las propuestas de Sanders?
Este argumento se reitera constantemente, en cualquier país, por voces conservadoras y neoliberales, como objeción a medidas que requieran una expansión del gasto público social. Es interesante subrayar que nunca se hizo la pregunta, por parte de las mismas voces que señalan que no hay recursos para la expansión del gasto social, si el país tenía dinero para pagar el rescate de sus bancos. De haberse hecho ésta, se podría haber contestado ahora de la misma forma. Si el país tuvo dinero para rescatar a los bancos, también lo tenía para rescatar a la población (y la misma respuesta aplica a España).
Y en EEUU (y en España) los fondos existen. Y así lo muestra el candidato Sanders: reduciendo el gasto militar significativamente, prohibiendo las inversiones de las empresas (del organismo equivalente al IBEX-35) en los paraísos fiscales haciendo que paguen impuestos como todos los demás, y aumentado la carga fiscal de las grandes fortunas, entre otras medidas. Con ellos se generarían recursos más que suficientes para asumir tales gastos. La no existencia de estos fondos ahora se debe a causas políticas (el maridaje poder económico-poder político) no a causas económicas.
El grupo de economistas del candidato Sanders ha publicado cómo se pagarían cada una de las reformas que él propone. Por ejemplo, el programa de universalización de los servicios sanitarios (conocido como single payer) sustituiría la financiación privada del sistema sanitario estadounidense (que se basa en el pago de pólizas a los seguros privados, pólizas que alcanzan unos niveles prohibitivos para millones de personas y que determina que tengan muchas dificultades para poder recibir atención sanitaria) por una financiación pública, de manera que la ciudadanía, en lugar de pagar a las compañías de seguro privadas (que ofrecen una cobertura insuficiente), lo harían en una cantidad mucho menor a una agencia pública, que les garantizaría una cobertura sanitaria completa, tal como ocurre en Canadá (cuya popularidad del sistema sanitario es mucho mayor que la del sistema privado estadounidense). En realidad, los impuestos para la mayoría de la población no aumentarían, pues la expansión de los servicios públicos sería a base del aumento de los niveles impositivos de los billonarios, que hoy apenas pagan impuestos, y cambios en las prioridades del gasto público, transfiriendo fondos de las áreas militares hacia las sociales.
¿No es Sanders demasiado “viejo”?
Por vulgar que parezca este argumento también se ha utilizado para desacreditar a Sanders como si ancianidad quisiera decir menos habilidad. Este argumento también ha aparecido en más de un rotativo español. Sanders, que está en sus 70, goza de buena salud y, como ha mostrado a lo largo de la campaña, capaz de llevar a cabo una vida activa, sin frenos o incapacidades. En realidad, la edad es un punto a su favor, pues muestra la coherencia en su vida política, siempre puesta al servicio de las clases populares, habiendo ganado con ello una credibilidad que otros no alcanzan por su escasa experiencia o sus constantes vaivenes en sus posturas y creencias.
Sanders, el político de mayor edad en el Senado de EEUU, y a la vez, el político más popular entre los jóvenes en aquel país, siempre apoyó activamente todas las causas progresistas en EEUU, empezando por su apoyo a la campaña de Martin Luther King a favor de la liberación de los negros. Y ha sido alcalde, miembro del Congreso y del Senado, distinguiéndose siempre por haber apoyado al movimiento sindical, a los movimientos sociales, feministas, y ambientales, habiendo también liderado la campaña de concienciación del cambio climático. Es precisamente esta historia la que le hace especialmente atrayente a la gente joven, que tiene ansia y deseo de liberación, integridad y compromiso.
¿Tiene Sanders experiencia en política exterior?
Esta pregunta, por regla general, se la hacen los asesores dela candidata Sra. Hillary Clinton, que fue Ministra de Asuntos Exteriores (Secretary of State) del gobierno federal de EEUU. Como bien ha respondido Sanders, lo que importa, sin embargo, no es la experiencia, sino el criterio y el juicio que tenga el que diseña y configura la política exterior en EEUU. Y ahí, el candidato Sanders ha mostrado tener mejor juicio y criterio que la candidata Clinton en decisiones clave que ha tomado el gobierno de EEUU. Por ejemplo, Sanders se opuso a la invasión de Irak, mientras que Clinton la apoyó. Sanders se opuso al bombardeo de Libia y al golpe contra Moammar al-Gadaffi. Hillary Clinton lo apoyó. Sanders se opone a seguir una política de confrontación con Rusia e Irán. Hillary Clinton la favorece. Sanders se opone al Tratado TTIP. Hillary Clinton lo apoyaba (aunque últimamente se ha distanciado de tal tratado).
¿Es Sanders excesivamente utópico y poco realista?
Esta postura es idéntica a la que se ha utilizado contra Podemos, contra el nuevo laborismo británico, y otras fuerzas políticas contestatarias que se oponen al status quo actual. Ni que decir tiene que el establishment llama por definición “utópico” y “poco realista” a todas aquellas fuerzas políticas que cuestionan su poder. Pasa en España y pasa en EEUU. Pero lo que propone Sanders es ampliamente reconocido por los expertos como necesario. Por ejemplo, una medida de gran importancia propuesta por Sanders es el desmembramiento de los grandes bancos (que fueron rescatados con dinero público) evitando que el propio tamaño de la empresa financiera sea un elemento negativo al procurar que el sistema económico dependa de un número excesivamente limitado de entidades bancarias. Hillary Clinton no apoya tal medida. El hecho de que sea o no realista depende primordialmente de la voluntad política. Por lo demás, técnica y científicamente, es fácil de realizar y aconsejable de llevar a cabo.
Una situación semejante ocurre en cuanto al retraso de la edad de jubilación (que es 67 años en EEUU), propuesta a la que se opone Sanders pero que no descarta la Sra. Clinton. Ni que decir tiene que la Sra. Clinton es una alternativa mucho mejor que cualquiera de los candidatos republicanos. Pero para una persona progresista, Sanders cubre mejor la papeleta.
¿Permitiría el establisment político-mediático que Sanders fuese Presidente?
Esta observación, procedente de grupos escépticos en las izquierdas, tiene mucho peso. Es una realidad que el establishment muestra enorme hostilidad a la candidatura de Sanders. Los mayores canales de televisión ABC, CBS y NBC, por ejemplo, dan mucha más cobertura a los otros candidatos que a Sanders. Según el análisis de tiempo de cobertura de los candidatos (The Tyndall Report), tales canales ofrecieron en el año 2015 dieciséis veces más tiempo de exposición televisiva al candidato republicano Trump que al candidato demócrata Sanders, que goza de mayor apoyo popular que Trump. Similar discriminación ocurrió en España, comparando el tiempo de exposición y presentación favorable a Albert Rivera versus Pablo Iglesias en las elecciones últimas.
Hacerse esta pregunta lleva al centro del problema: la captación de las instituciones democráticas por los intereses económicos y financieros corrompen el significado de democracia. De ahí que la llamada a que cambien las instituciones políticas (y mediáticas) que Sanders define como Revolución Política sea la misma que la llamada a un nuevo orden económico, justo y solidario. Y este es el gran reto que hoy tienen tanto EEUU como España. Sin lugar a duda, estamos en un periodo histórico, en el que estamos viviendo el fin de una época con los albores de una nueva, de la cual no conocemos todavía su posible configuración. El enorme enfado de las clases populares puede canalizarse por fuerzas políticas profundamente reaccionarias (como Trump en EEUU) o profundamente democráticas (como Sanders). Ahora bien, el futuro a favor de las alternativas democráticas y progresistas dependerá de las movilizaciones populares que presionen para que ello ocurra. Así de claro. 08 feb 2016

Spence C., Deroy O. In their recent article, Sweeny, Guzman-Martinez, Ortega, Grabowecky, and Suzuki (2012) demonstrate that heard speech sounds modulate the perceived shape of briefly presented visual stimuli. Ovals, whose aspect ratio (relating width to height) varied on a trial-by-trial basis, were rated as looking wider when a /woo/ sound was presented, and as taller when a /wee/ sound was presented instead. On the one hand, these findings add to a growing body of evidence demonstrating that audiovisual correspondences can have perceptual (as well as decisional) effects. On the other hand, they prompt a question concerning their origin. Although the currently popular view is that crossmodal correspondences are based on the internalization of the natural multisensory statistics of the environment (see Spence, 2011), these new results suggest instead that certain correspondences may actually be based on the sensorimotor responses associated with human vocalizations. As such, the findings of Sweeny et al. help to breathe new life into Sapir's (1929) once-popular "embodied" explanation of sound symbolism. Furthermore, they pose a challenge for those psychologists wanting to determine which among a number of plausible accounts best explains the available data on crossmodal correspondences.

Me and my ex have recently started seeing each other again after still been sleeping together the last couple of months and I found out he'd actually slept with 6 other girls since we broke up (3 months ago) but anyway we built a bridge and got over it. And decided to be exclusive again. He said he regret all of it and I believed him.
I stayed at his on Friday night and in the morning realised I'd forgotten to pack my tights. He then handed me a pair of skeleton Halloween tights and told me to wear them. He said they belonged to his housemate. Obvs I said I think I'll just go without. I didn't mention it or think much of it then a few hours later I realised the Halloween tights belonged to that of a one night stand (I'd seen her instagram after stalking my ex's social media and she was wearing the skeleton tights on Halloween) I was mortified.
I went absolutely mad at him when I realised I was beside myself with fury.
Why the fuck would you give someone a pair of tights to wear belonging to your one night stand????
He seems to think "sorry" is acceptable enough and said I was overreacting. I am mortified. How is this okay??? | positive |

If you have yet to see a robot patrolling a parking lot or moving along the sidewalk, don’t feel left out. Security, surveillance, hospitality, and delivery robots aren’t a common sight, but it won’t be long before they are. Robots are already on the job providing extra service and security in a growing variety and number of locations, according to the MIT Technology Review.
Silicon Valley startup Knightscope, Inc. has two mobile surveillance and security robots, called the K3 and K5. The company refers to them as Autonomous Data Machines, or ADMs, because as the robots make their rounds, they can either follow prescribed paths or just wander within a determined area. While on the move, the robots continuously collect and transmit more than 90 terabytes of data per year.
Knightscope maintains a security center to monitor and receive alerts and status reports from the robots and, over time, a growing database of information collected by sensors will help the robots differentiate between normal activity and security issues. The robots are physically imposing, especially the K5 model, which is 5 feet tall, 3 feet wide, and tips the scale at 300 pounds.
Savioke is another Silicon Valley company in the robotics business. Savioke’s Relay, also called the Botlr, is designed for service use in hotels. The primary Botlr application is to make deliveries to guests. The Botlr starts off at a designated charging station. When hotel staff get a call for convenience or snack items, for example, they enter a code to open the Botlr’s top compartment, enter the room number, and the robot travels on its own to deliver the items to the specified room. The Botlr can also deliver small packages. According to Savioke, Botlrs are currently in service in eight hotels.
Starship Technologies, an Estonia company with an office in London, makes six-wheeled urban delivery robots that resemble canister vacuums or the kind of cooler you might take to the beach. According to the MIT Technology Review, Starship robots have already traveled more than 3,200 miles in Arkansas, London, Estonia, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The Starship has 9 cameras that help it navigate along sidewalks. A lockable storage compartment is accessed ahead of time by the recipient with a code sent via text message.
Target Stores are also trying robots, in this case for taking store inventory. San Francisco startup Simbe Robotics builds the Tally, described as an automated shelf auditing and analytics solution. The Tally, which looks like a tall space heater or high-end audio speaker, rolls up and down store aisles. According to Simbe, the bot can complete an inventory of the shelves in a medium-sized store in about 30 minutes with 95 percent accuracy. The company says the same inventory would take humans about 25 hours with only a 65 percent accuracy rate. The Tally can also report all misplaced merchandise so store personnel can retrieve and re-shelve it properly.
As robots become more common, their successful co-existence with humans will depend on their appearance and behavior. The ability to navigate inert and moving objects autonomously and safely is a huge first step.
The way robots appear is often determined by the application. A roving security robot can look imposing, while an inventory machine needs to be unobstrusive as it shares aisles with shoppers. A delivery robot, whether traveling to your hotel room, home, or place of business, has to be a convenient size for you to retrieve the contents.
That robots may someday replace humans entirely in these jobs is another issue, but one that is already an emerging reality with the machines in the MIT Technology Review study. | positive |
Joe Biden for Vice President, 2016 | NationofChange Issues Actions Petitions Pledges Timeline Politics Justice Environment Health Culture War Latest Originals Donate Sign Up Search Saturday, September 24, 2022 NationofChange Issues Actions Petitions Pledges Timeline Politics Justice Environment Health Culture War Latest Originals Donate Sign Up Politics Joe Biden for Vice President, 2016 By Zach D. Roberts - June 12, 2016 2688 SOURCENationofChange Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter tweet Zach D. Roberts, NationofChange I know, on principle it’s a ridiculous idea. Vice President Biden has already served 8 years in the position and it seems that he’s ready to retire. But here’s the deal – the current favorite media front runners for the position NEED to stay where they are. In a political world where Massachusetts Senate seats can go to Tea Party pickup driving guys darlings – Democrats don’t really have the flexibility for taking chances. But before we even talk about the current choices – let’s discuss 2008. Everyone wanted in on the Obama Administration, it seemed – even past rival Hillary Clinton knew it was going to be a historic term. So when Obama called on Democrats from all around the country, they came running. The problem was politicians don’t get to choose who takes over for them. While some like Tom Vilsack had a Democrat serve the next term, his replacement Chet Culver lost the next race to Republican Terry Branstad. Former Secretary of the Ken Salazar’s old Senate seat isn’t looking too safe for Democrats this time around either – very conservative Congressman Mike Coffman has a lead on Sen. Michael Bennett. Obama’s first Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius would be succeeded by a Democrat – but only for one term. Sam Brownback would sweep in, with Secretary of State Kris Kobach and a rightwing majority in the state house a term later. Zach D. Roberts, NationofChange The worst case here is though, is who took over for Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona. She left the state to be the head of the Department of Homeland Security and that’s when SB1070, immigrant bashing Jan Brewer took over. I’m not blaming President Obama or or even Secretary Napolitano for Brewer or SB1070. But anyone with a pulse and access to some polls could have seen what was going to happen in these states. Jane Mayer in her book Dark Money says that the Obama White House was caught “off guard” by the big money that was spent in 2010. David Axelrod, according to Mayer barely knew who the Koch’s were in May of 2010. I’m hoping that Clinton won’t make the same mistake – but it goes to show that even the most brilliant political minds don’t always know what’s around the corner. The Washington Post put together a list of their frontrunners for Vice President, some of the names on the list are what I’d consider safe ones. In includes retired Congressmen and Senators, current and former Obama Cabinet members. Some are questionably dangerous ones like Sen. Mark Warner, Gov. Terry McAuliffe from Virginia and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen from New Hampshire. Both of those states are not the safest – McAuliffe took over for one of the worst Governors in Virginia history – Bob McDonnell who left in disgrace and New Hampshire isn’t much better, especially with the wild Trump card in the race. But it’s the frontrunners on most peoples lists that worry me the most – Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Sherrod Brown. Senator Brown and Warren are among the only true progressives in the Senate. [No, I do not include Sen. Franken on that list… but that’s for another article] Warren sits on the Committee on Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs – and if the Democrats are able to take back the Senate in 2016, could possibly be named Chair. Losing her and having any of the many Wall Street friendly Democrats in the Senate replace her would be a disaster. Or even worse – and don’t say it won’t happen – having former Senator Scott Brown come back for another try. Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is clearly in an even worse place. Brown has earned his position in the hearts of Buckeye’s by fighting TPP (but weirdly endorsing Clinton) and being a strong union-supporting Senator in a state that has been decimated by free trade policies. As I write this, Ohio’s other Senate seat is in a tight battle, with the Democrat Ted Strickland up by only one point in the polls. Sen. Brown has another two years on his term, let’s let him serve it – and maybe then run against Gov. John Kasich. The Democrats are going to have an extremely tough right this year to take back the Senate, they need 5 seats to just get a majority. 34 seats are up in November and 24 of them are Republican, not even FiveThirtyEight.com are taking odds of what could happen this early in the year. That’s why I recommend Secretary Clinton to ask Vice President Joe Biden to stay on for another four years. Beyond the fact that he’s one of the safest political bets for the position – he currently has a favorability rating nearly 10 points over Clinton’s, even a Fox News poll had his favorables at 53%. His unfavorables are nearly 20% below Clinton’s. In 2008 and 2012 opposing VP candidates, Palin and Ryan found it nearly impossible to debate him, anyone that Trump puts up against Biden would likely be slaughtered in the debates. I’m not fan of Biden’s history in the Senate, he represented credit card companies ahead of the citizens of the Delaware and his dealing with the Anita Hill hearings was less than admirable. But this is triage Democracy folks, progressive hopes and dreams are for other times. We’re stemming the bleeding – give the man 4 more years and let’s stop Trump.

It’s always easier to destroy than to create. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has spent his candidacy showing Republicans just how easy it is. Media organizations, think tanks, and the electoral process itself have seen decades of hard work reversed in months by Wreck-It Donald.
Consider this partial accounting of the wreckage he’s left behind, starting with Fox News:
During a discussion about the fractured GOP today, The Five‘s Greg Gutfeld brought up how the current GOP fight has been a source of tension not just on their show, but on Fox News as a whole. “We as a show,” he said, “are facing internal strife, from a micro level to a macro level… Look at The Five. On any given day, we have tension over this nomination, over this candidate. You can look at our network as a whole.” He said this is true of pretty much “every area where there is conservatism” these days, but pointed to specific “issues within a family of anchors” that has fractured the anti-Obama unity they once enjoyed.
Breitbart:
Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields has resigned from the conservative news site over its response to her alleged assault by Donald Trump’s campaign manager. Three of her colleagues also resigned from Breitbart: editor-at-large Ben Shapiro, national security reporter Jordan Schachtel and Jarrett Stepman, an editor. In his departing statement on Sunday, Shapiro said the site should be “ashamed” of “their treatment” of Fields, whose allegations of assault came amid escalating violence in and around Trump campaign events.
Liberty University:
The chairman of Liberty University’s executive committee is knocking the endorsement of Donald Trump by the Christian school’s president. “Donald Trump is the only candidate who has dealt almost exclusively in the politics of personal insult,” Mark DeMoss, who sits on the Liberty University’s board, told The Washington Post in a story published Tuesday… “I’ve been concerned for Liberty University for a couple of months now, and I’ve held my tongue,” DeMoss continued. “I think a lot of what we’ve seen from Donald Trump will prove to be difficult to explain by evangelicals who have backed him.”
Eagle Forum:
Longtime conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly’s endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has led to internal strife — and what she claims was an attempt to oust her — at the organization she formed nearly a half-century ago to help defeat the Equal Rights Amendment. The 91-year-old said six of the Eagle Forum’s 11 board members, including one of her daughters, met improperly by telephone Monday “to wrest control of the organization from me” and “seize access to our bank accounts.” She said in a statement she was kicked off the call when she objected.
The New York Observer:
Following a fawning editorial endorsing Donald Trump in the New York Observer, which is owned by Trump’s son-in-law, the paper’s national political reporter, Ross Barkan announced he was leaving. “I knew going into this there would be complications with covering Donald Trump and working for the New York Observer,” Barkan told CNNMoney. “I did not imagine that the events would transpire the way they did.”
Republican National Convention:
Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that his supporters could riot at the Republican convention in Cleveland if he is not “automatically” made the party’s nominee if he arrives with the most votes but fails to secure a majority of convention delegates. Speaking to Chris Cuomo on CNN, Trump said that he hoped to win the nomination outright before the convention in July, but warned that if he goes to Cleveland with more delegates than any of his rivals and the nomination goes to anyone else, “I think you’d have riots.”
The nomination process:
Longtime Donald Trump ally Roger Stone is threatening to make public the hotel room numbers of Republican National Convention delegates who switch from Trump to another candidate. “We’re going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal,” Stone said Monday in a discussion with Stefan Molyneux on Freedomain Radio, as he alleged that Trump’s opponents planned to deny the democratic will of Republican primary voters. “If you’re from Pennsylvania, we’ll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this, if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed,” Stone said.
Wreck-It Donald seems to break another conservative institution each week, not to mention the continuing damage to years-long efforts promoting limited government and civic virtue, denouncing crony capitalism and personality cults, and reaching out to women and minorities. Much of movement conservatism has outlived its usefulness, but 2016 isn’t a case of free-market “creative destruction.” It’s just destruction with nothing to take its place except dyed hair, a fake tan, and a big mouth.
As damaging as President Obama and Secretary Clinton have been, they were never able to infiltrate conservativism and tear it down from within. Sure, they could peel off a squish here and there, but imploding right-leaning media was beyond the limits of even the most statist IRS commissioner or NSA director. One big-government liberal was able to slap an R at the end of his name and leave chaos in his wake.
Breaking stuff is easy, but building things (e.g., state campaign infrastructure, detailed get-out-the-vote strategy) takes a lot of hard work. Despite the tacky buildings sporting Trump’s name in all caps, Ted Cruz is the only candidate who is creating institutions to advance conservatism.
For the sake of our Republic, let’s hope he succeeds. | positive |
It turned out to have a different value. Today it shows the huge discrepancy between the contest Australia was optimistically entering and the ugly reality of what we now know was actually happening.
It portrays a genuine, if naïve, Australian bid that went ahead even though the winner had been decided before Lowy and his team got to Zurich.
The contest had been ratcheted up several levels. Where traditionally it was fought out between football federations now, for the first time, it was a battle between sovereign states.
Geopolitical deals
Countries like Australia, the US and Britain were running on the old rules, behind their federations. Qatar, on the other hand, was doing state-to-state, geopolitical deals.

Indeed, Fifa president Sepp Blatter recently disclosed that all along, the executive committee had privately agreed to give the 2022 games to the US but a secret deal between the French and the Qataris scuttled it.
These revelations make the footage all the more poignant.

Lowy was staying in the elegant Baur Au Lac Hotel, which sits in a private park beside Lake Zurich and is the traditional meeting place for the political elite of world football.
Only football's aristocracy were staying in the hotel, which was strictly off limits to the press. So the press camped on the pavement opposite, with telephoto lenses trained on the forecourt whenever a motorcade of Mercedes, with darken windows, swept in.
Early optimism: Frank Lowy, right, with then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and FIFA boss Joseph Blatter in 2009. Blatter had promised his vote to Australia. Penny Bradfield
Out would step dazzlingly wealthy sheikhs, their robes threaded with gold, heads of state, prime ministers, presidents and princes. When Prince William arrived to support England's bid, he was shown to the corner suite directly below the one occupied by Lowy.
The other British "prince", David Beckham was in the hotel too as was UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Mayor of London Boris Johnson.
Amid all this, cameraman Costello switched off the red light to showed his camera was active and, over a couple of days, swung through the hotel. Inside Lowy's suite, he became quietly invisible.
Lowy invested everything he had in this bid. Apart from "the hundreds of thousands" he says he used to cover his own expenses, he was totally devoted to winning. At 80, he hardly slept, not wanting to waste an opportunity to gain a slither of an advantage.

Mixed signals
The mood in the suite was reminiscent of a leader's office in the dying days of a tight election. Hope continued to prevail over despair with faint signals of support being read as genuine commitments.
Lowy described the mood as "cautiously optimistic". After all, Australia's bid had been judged technically excellent and he thought he could muster the requisite four or five votes to survive the first round of voting, after which the game would change.
But when his sons, David and Steven, arrived they brought a much-needed dose of reality, the kind that could only be delivered by those who hadn't been intimately involved in the campaign.
Astute enough not to torpedo all hope, their questions reflected a level of scepticism that Lowy had not permitted among his team in the last days. David, a veteran pilot, who had flown himself into Zurich, casually reported the Qatari team had nine aircraft on the tarmac.
On the morning of the final vote, December 2, 2010, Lowy woke with a bad feeling. He sensed something was turning against Australia but kept his feelings to himself.
That afternoon everyone dressed for the final announcement at the Zurich Exhibition Centre, which would be the biggest media event in Switzerland's history with 70 TV stations reporting live and 1000 fully accredited reporters.
As the press went in one direction, the international delegates went into a lavishly appointed VIP waiting hall where each country had its own designated area.

I'd managed to obtain a seat with the Australian delegation and watched as the space began filling with Oscar-winning actors, presidents and billionaires. Filming was prohibited but Costello had given me a very small movie camera that I used from under my jacket.
Worst fears confirmed
Although he mingled a little, Lowy was quiet. I caught him sitting alone on a bench deep in thought.
As he filed into the auditorium, Frank's worst fears were confirmed. "I walked past the executive committee members who had voted. We had some 'friends' among them but when I looked at them and they didn't look back squarely, I knew we were gone."
My seat was at the back of Australia's delegation and as I sat down an Australian television journalist leaned over the barrier that separated the press from the delegates. With tears in his blue eyes he said Qatar had won for 2022.
Al Jazeera had received the news and was preparing the broadcast. This was odd as the formal opening was still 20 minutes away and given the results for 2018 would be announced first, there would be a further 20 minutes before the 2022 bid was reached.
Al Jazeera had the jump on everyone else by at least 40 minutes. I sent the news down the Australian delegation. At the same time other information confirming it was travelling back up.
This left the Australians to sit through the next hour as the choreographed charade rolled on.

Much of the early support and encouragement for Australia's bid had come from Lowy's friend, Mohammed Bin Hammam, president of the Asian Football Confederation, but in the last couple of years he had turned.
Active white-anting by Bin Hammam
While he told Lowy upfront he could no longer support Australia's bid, clandestinely he actively white-anted it.
As he sat through the show, Lowy figured out that he had been played. But then, as the delegates rose to leave, he did something remarkable.
Holding his shock at bay, he sought out his nemesis in the crowd. He touched Bin Hammam on the shoulder, turned him around and embraced him. I filmed astonished. Was this the acme of good sportsmanship or was this keeping your enemies close?
Afterwards Lowy blamed himself. He did, however, repeatedly say "the last word has not been heard" on the matter – it's something he continues to say.
Over the next five years, he was accused of having wasted $43 million of government funding on a hopeless bid that received only one vote.
His response is that it often takes several attempts to win the right to host an international event. Australia tried three times before it secured the Olympics. This bid was Australia's first. It put the country in this international arena for the first time and many lessons have now been banked for when it bids again.

Immediately afterwards, both Blatter and Germany's football hero, Franz Beckenbauer, claimed to have placed the sole vote for Australia. Lowy will never know.
After Zurich, Costello and I returned downhearted. We handed over the footage to the FFA and forgot about it.
But this year, large chunks began falling off the Fifa edifice, exposing rank corruption at its core and making it abundantly clear Australia never had a chance.
As Paul watched, he remembered our footage. We hauled it out and it became a centrepiece of an hour-long documentary, with Leigh Sales from the ABC. It's called Played: Inside Australia's Failed World Cup Bid.
* ABC will broadcast a documentary, Played, using Jill Margo's footage on Tuesday at 8.30pm. Margo has written two biographies on Frank Lowy. In her latest, A Second Life, Lowy provides a mea culpa about his management of the bid. | positive |
“This is the Civil Rights Act of the 21st century,” said Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, the No. 3 Democrat in the House.
Mr. Obama celebrated the House action in remarks at the White House.
“We pushed back on the undue influence of special interests,” Mr. Obama said. “We didn’t give in to mistrust or to cynicism or to fear. Instead, we proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things.”
“This isn’t radical reform,” he added, “but it is major reform.”
After a year of combat and weeks of legislative brinksmanship, House Democrats and the White House clinched their victory only hours before the voting started on Sunday. They agreed to a deal with opponents of abortion rights within their party to reiterate in an executive order that federal money provided by the bill could not be used for abortions, securing for Democrats the final handful of votes they needed to assure passage.
Winding up the debate, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: “After a year of debate and hearing the calls of millions of Americans, we have come to this historic moment. Today we have the opportunity to complete the great unfinished business of our society and pass health insurance reform for all Americans that is a right and not a privilege.”
The House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, said lawmakers were defying the wishes of their constituents. “The American people are angry,” Mr. Boehner said. “This body moves forward against their will. Shame on us.”
Republicans said the plan would saddle the nation with unaffordable levels of debt, leave states with expensive new obligations, weaken Medicare and give the government a huge new role in the health care system.
The debate on the legislation set up a bitter midterm campaign season, with Republicans promising an effort to repeal the legislation, challenge its constitutionality or block its provisions in the states.

Representative Paul D. Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin, denounced the bill as “a fiscal Frankenstein.” Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Republican of Florida, called it “a decisive step in the weakening of the United States.” Representative Virginia Foxx, Republican of North Carolina, said it was “one of the most offensive pieces of social engineering legislation in the history of the United States.”

But Representative Marcy Kaptur, Democrat of Ohio, said the bill heralded “a new day in America.” Representative Doris Matsui, Democrat of California, said it would “improve the quality of life for millions of American families.”
The health care bill would require most Americans to have health insurance, would add 16 million people to the Medicaid rolls and would subsidize private coverage for low- and middle-income people, at a cost to the government of $938 billion over 10 years, the Congressional Budget Office said.
The bill would require many employers to offer coverage to employees or pay a penalty. Each state would set up a marketplace, or exchange, where consumers without such coverage could shop for insurance meeting federal standards.
The budget office estimates that the bill would provide coverage to 32 million uninsured people, but still leave 23 million uninsured in 2019. One-third of those remaining uninsured would be illegal immigrants.
The new costs, according to the budget office, would be more than offset by savings in Medicare and by new taxes and fees, including a tax on high-cost employer-sponsored health plans and a tax on the investment income of the most affluent Americans.
Cost estimates by the budget office, showing that the bill would reduce federal budget deficits by $143 billion in the next 10 years, persuaded some fiscally conservative Democrats to vote for the bill.
Democrats said Americans would embrace the bill when they saw its benefits, including some provisions that take effect later this year.

Health insurers, for example, could not deny coverage to children with medical problems or suddenly drop coverage for people who become ill. Insurers must allow children to stay on their parents’ policies until they turn 26. Small businesses could obtain tax credits to help them buy insurance.

The Democratic effort to secure the 216 votes needed for passage of the legislation came together only after last-minute negotiations involving the White House, the House leadership and a group of Democratic opponents of abortion rights, led by Representative Bart Stupak of Michigan. On Sunday afternoon, members of the group announced that they would support the legislation after Mr. Obama promised to issue an executive order to “ensure that federal funds are not used for abortion services.”
Mr. Stupak described the order as a significant guarantee that would “protect the sanctity of life in health care reform.” But supporters of abortion rights — and some opponents — said the order merely reaffirmed what was in the bill.
The vote to pass the Senate version of the bill means that it will become the law of the land as soon as Mr. Obama signs it, regardless of when — or even whether — the Senate acts on the package of changes the House also passed.
The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, has promised to take up the package of changes in short order, and he has said he has the votes to pass it. The Senate will consider it under a parliamentary maneuver that will allow the Democrats to pass it with a simple majority, averting the threat of a Republican filibuster.
Indeed, Senate Republicans were quickly faced with a need to recalibrate their message from one aimed at stopping the legislation to one focused on winning back a sufficient number of seats in Congress to repeal it.
Mr. Obama, in his remarks shortly before midnight in the East Room, urged the Senate to complete the final pieces of the legislation. “Some have predicted another siege of parliamentary maneuvering in order to delay it,” he said. “I hope that’s not the case.”

He continued, “It’s time to bring this debate to a close and begin the hard work of implementing this reform properly on behalf of the American people.”
Mr. Obama watched the roll call with Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. in the Roosevelt Room in the White House.

The House galleries were full, and the floor was unusually crowded, for the historic debate on health care.
Working together, Mr. Obama and Ms. Pelosi revived the legislation when it appeared dead after Democrats lost their 60th vote in the Senate and with it their ability to shut off Republican filibusters.
Republicans said they would use the outcome to bludgeon Democrats in this year’s Congressional elections. The White House is planning an intensive effort to convince people of the bill’s benefits. But if Democrats suffer substantial losses in November, Mr. Obama could be stymied on other issues.
The campaign for a health care overhaul began as a way to help the uninsured. But it gained momentum when middle-class families with health insurance flooded Congress with their grievances. They complained of soaring premiums. They said their insurance had been canceled when they got sick.
“It’s not just the uninsured,” said Representative Jim McGovern, Democrat of Massachusetts. “We also have to worry about people with insurance who find, for crazy reasons, that they are somehow going to be denied coverage.”
In the end, groups like the United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business tried to stop the bill, saying it would increase the cost of doing business. But other groups, including the American Medical Association and AARP, backed it, as did the pharmaceutical industry.
Lawmakers agreed that Sunday’s debate was historic, but they were poles apart in assessing the legislation.
Representative Rodney Alexander, Republican of Louisiana, said, “You cannot expect to expand coverage to millions of individuals and to curb costs at the same time.”

Republicans said the picture painted by the budget office was too rosy, because the new taxes and fees would start immediately, while the major costs would not show up for four years.
Moreover, Republicans said Democrats would pay a price for defying public opinion on the bill.
“Are you so arrogant that you know what’s best for the American people?” Representative Paul Broun, Republican of Georgia, asked the Democrats. “Are you so ignorant to be oblivious to the wishes of the American people?”
Lawmakers spoke with deep conviction in explaining their votes.
“Health care is not only a civil right, it’s a moral issue,” said Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, Democrat of Rhode Island, who invoked the memory of his father, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat and a lifelong champion of health care for all.
After the legislation passed, Mr. Obama sought to place the day in perspective.
“In the end what this day represents is another stone firmly laid in the foundation of the American dream,” the president said. “Tonight, we answered the call of history as so many generations of Americans have before us. When faced with crisis, we did not shrink from our challenges. We overcame them. We did not avoid our responsibilities, we embraced it. We did not fear our future, we shaped it.” | positive |

For pilgrims heading to Mecca on the hajj, a spiritual journey that involves extensive outdoor walking and prayer, the end of this century could present some problems. Temperatures in the area around the Gulf—including around the Red Sea where Mecca is located—are set to rise to levels that would threaten human life.
In the current climate, the combined temperature and humidity level rarely exceeds 31ºC (88ºF). Except, that is, for in the Gulf, where a combination of low elevation and proximity to the sea leads to particularly high temperatures. The killer level, however, is 35ºC—and they’re approaching that extremity.
Researchers from Loyola Marymount University in California and MIT in Massachusetts modeled two future weather scenarios (pdf), and found that in a scenario where the world continues producing greenhouse gases in a “business-as-usual” way, most regions adjacent to the Gulf, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea would exceed 31ºC and some would reach 35ºC in the period between 2071 and 2100.
Conditions around Mecca will actually be “milder” than some, only hitting 33ºC—but still seriously problematic.
“These extreme conditions are of severe consequence to the Muslim rituals of hajj, when Muslim pilgrims… pray outdoors from dawn to dusk near Mecca,” the researchers wrote. The ritual is likely to become “hazardous to human health, especially for elderly pilgrims,” when the pilgrimage falls in the summer months, they said. | positive |

TED's 'Explicitly Partisan' Talk, Briefly Barred From Its Site, Now Everywhere
Nick Hanauer's TED Talk was originally kept from public view for being too "explicitly partisan". TED YouTube
If you haven't seen or heard a TED Talk, they feature interesting or provocative "ideas worth spreading," as the nonprofit's slogan goes. NPR, in fact, has recently launched a TED Radio Hour that features talks ranging from how our brains trick us to what spaghetti sauce has to do with happiness.
But one TED appearance in particular became the talk of the week after it was kept off the TED.com site for being too overtly political.
In March, a tech entrepreneur and one of the early investors in Amazon.com named Nick Hanauer gave a TED talk with an idea he thought was worth spreading — that rich people like him should be paying more in taxes because he believes middle-class consumers, not rich people, are the real job creators. (A National Journal cover story deep dives into the economics behind Hanauer's theories.)
TED Talk curator Chris Anderson refused to post it on TED's website, igniting a cyber-firestorm this week. Anderson explained the decision in a post Thursday:
"The talk tapped into a really important and timely issue. But it framed the issue in a way that was explicitly partisan. And it included a number of arguments that were unconvincing, even to those of us who supported his overall stance. The audience at TED who heard it live (and who are often accused of being overly enthusiastic about left-leaning ideas) gave it, on average, mediocre ratings."
That TED wouldn't post this six-minute politically-themed talk kicked up enough controversy in the blogosphere this week that the "banned" talk was quickly released. TIME Magazine tracked the firestorm:
It's posted now. The entire text of the short talk, complete with slides, can be seen at The Atlantic. And you can watch it here. | positive |

Fireworks light up the sky during the first night of the Electric Daisy Carnival Saturday, June 17, 2017, at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Total attendance at the three night festival, the largest electronic dance music festival in North America, is expected to surpass 400,000. (Sam Morris/Las Vegas News Bureau)
Police and emergency crews were kept busy as 136,000 people attended the first night of the Electric Daisy Carnival at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
There were 443 medical calls that required six to be transported to area hospitals. One employee was also transported for a pre-existing medical condition.
Police made 29 felony narcotic arrests and show producer Insomniac Productions said it ejected 118 attendees.
Two people were arrested on gross misdemeanor charges for battery on a police officer. Two misdemeanor arrests were made and five misdemeanor citations were issued by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
There were three reported traffic accidents and five traffic citations were issued.
Because of construction on Interstate 15 near the Speedway, traffic delays of up to 90 minutes were reported as fans arrived for the first of three nights of EDC.
Organizers of the largest music festival in North America are reminding attendees to report any suspicious activity they might witness during the event that began Friday, less than a month after a deadly terrorist attack struck a concert in England.
Police in Las Vegas say no threats have been identified against the three-day Electric Daisy Carnival. Still, organizers want festivalgoers to be alert to their surroundings.
Maren Steiner with organizer Insomniac Events says festivalgoers "have to speak up if something doesn't look or feel right."
The annual festival at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway has drawn more than 135,000 people a night in previous years.
Hundreds of private security personnel, Las Vegas police officers, Nevada Highway Patrol troopers and other law enforcement officials are working at the venue. | positive |
Japan has decided to admit 300 Syrian refugees and their families over the next 5 years. These families will also receive a living allowance.
In 2016 10,901 people sought asylum in Japan. Only 28 were accepted. The previous year, although the amount of requests was lower, even fewer (27) refugees were admitted.
This is not a new issue. In 2015 Prime Minister Abe said the non-acceptance of refugees is an “issue of demography. There are many things we should do (with our own population) before accepting immigrants”.
But Human Rights Watch say this should be no excuse. Phil Robertson, deputy director of HRW’s Asia division said that both Japan are South Korea are “relatively wealthy societies that could afford to provide resettlement assistance to refugees”.
However, according to the Japan Association for Refugees, some cases can take as long as 9 years to be finalised.
Immigration remains controversial in Japan. Many Japanese citizens pride themselves on their nation’s cultural and ethnic homogeneity, even though the workforce is shrinking as the population ages.
Most asylum seekers that are granted permission to stay in Japan are from Indonesia, followed by those from Nepal, the Philippines and Turkey.
Japan is a major donor to international aid, but remains reluctant to accept refugees, asylum seekers, or migrant workers. While only accepting 28 refugees, Japan donated €154 billion to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees- making it the 4th largest donor.
In contrast, Germany received 745,545 asylum applications in 2016, and Berlin alone accepted over 250,000 requests. | positive |

QUEBEC – Former Quebec lieutenant-governor Lise Thibault will remain behind bars until at least next Tuesday.
Her lawyer, Marc Labelle, wanted to seek leave to appeal on Thursday, a day after Thibault was sentenced to 18 months in jail on fraud and breach of trust charges.
Labelle said she should have been released because of her ailing health.
The Crown prosecutor in the case argued he needed more time to prepare his case and a Quebec Court of Appeal justice ruled he had not been convinced of the urgency for Thibault, 76, to be released so quickly.
Instead, Quebec’s top court will hear Labelle on Tuesday as well as his arguments that his client should be freed pending the appeal proceedings.
Thibault was charged two years after a 2007 report by the federal and provincial auditors general revealed she claimed more than $700,000 in improper expenses when she held the vice-regal post between 1997 and 2007.
In sentencing Thibault, Quebec court Judge Carol St-Cyr called her behaviour “highly reprehensible” and part of a “culture of deceit.”
Her trial heard the money was spent on gifts, trips, parties, meals and skiing and golf lessons.
St-Cyr also ordered Thibault to reimburse $200,000 to Ottawa and $100,000 to Quebec.
Labelle, who had been seeking a sentence to be served in the community, called St-Cyr’s ruling “severe.”
“Jail is supposed to be the last resort — that’s what the law says,” he said Wednesday. “So we’re saying she should have been given that chance and not be incarcerated.”
Besides a four-year prison sentence for Thibault, the Crown was seeking the reimbursement of $430,000.
Thibault originally pleaded not guilty but switched pleas last December because, according to Labelle, she came to a better understanding of the evidence and the law.
She testified at the trial she had little to show financially for her time as vice-regal — that a divorce ate into her savings and that she lived on a $30,000 pension.
St-Cyr also ruled against a pair of motions filed by Labelle, who argued the case should be dismissed because the accused benefited from royal immunity.
Labelle said that meant Thibault was not a civil servant and therefore could not face criminal charges.
The judge said that, according to constitutional law, the lieutenant-governor does not enjoy the same benefits as the Queen.
St-Cyr also noted that under the Constitution, the lieutenant-governor is a civil servant, adding such an affirmation is even posted on the lieutenant-governor’s website. | positive |

I received some information via an anonymous person of a Facebook post that has caused some waves in regards to validity of a certain coach. Drama is for teenage girls trying to get into a beauty pageant so I am not even going to go there, however it did make me think about what exactly makes a BMX Racing coach and what are their qualifications?
The UCI has some fancy qualification that covers both BMX and MTB at the same time. How they think the two different disciplines are even remotely the same is a mystery probably even to the UCI themselves. Granted there are some fundamentals such as recovery and nutrition that can be embraced in any sport, but a 40 second sprint over jumps on a little bike is not quite the same as a timed run down a hill with gravity assisting you. Still, its another great way the UCI can make money and that’s what they are: a business. I can read a manual on how to fly a helicopter and could operate the machine to the letter, however there will be a flight where life happens and an event occurs that is not in the book. A student from the University Of Life Experience is equipped for this scenario.
I have seen some personal coaches who have the fitness thing on lock yet do not offer their riders the mental support they need. Granted it was a MTB race, but you do not have to stretch the imagination too far to apply it to BMX: lady rider tries her best during an important national, perhaps over thought the whole race and under performed. Her coaches reaction was to shake his head, berate her and walk away ignoring her for the next few days. As a racer losing is punishment enough in my books.
At one stage I had enough money to afford a proper fitness coach. He came from a MTB/Triathlon background and trains a lot of Motocross racers, this is how I met him. His program was rock solid, I put in the work and although I did not achieve great results I was always the fittest guy in my class. He was a great mental coach and covered pre-race scenarios and how your mind falters somewhat looking for an out. In my head I was good to go and my fitness was the best it had ever been however I still could not manual properly and my gates sucked. This was not his fault whatsoever. In this case I needed a riding coach as well. Someone who has raced.
What about coaches that have tested positive for banned substances? I know of some current coaches who run their respective countries BMX program who have tested positive for banned substances. Your Google works just as well as mine so look it up for yourself if you are curious. This is Nextlevel BMX, not Next TMZ. So after being caught red handed in public how do these people still maintain their creditability? I spoke candidly with a now retired professional Motocross racer about him testing positive after a standard urine test after a race. He was cleared of all charges but yet had to shell out 50k of his own money in an effort to effectively save face. What team would want to hire him or coach want to train him without being tarred with the same brush. The stigma attached of a saucer was too heavy a burden to bear for a professional athlete. In cycling it almost seems mandatory and is then overlooked during the hiring process.
Who is the best BMX coach? Who is the worst BMX coach? Who coaches the coaches? | positive |

I'm really sorry this is a little late posting. I became really unwell the day it arrived and have been bed ridden since. I am however super excited about the gift still.My match went above and beyond really researching my interest from my limited reddit posts and the previous exchanges I'd participated it. As soon as I opened the box I knew everything in there was going to be amazing.
The wrapping paper was the absolute best I have EVER seen. I don't know if somehow my match new this or she just fluked on the perfect wrapping paper for me but I love globes and maps, especially old style world maps.
At first I was opening the presents really carefully to try to preserve the paper but as soon as I glimpsed the first one I open (the oven pull)I knew that this was possibly going to be the best exchange I had ever pasticipated in. My match had gone to a lot of effort and nailed everything to a tee. I then opened what I though was a chocolate bar from her local area. I found out yesterday that it was in fact nougat and it was DELICIOUS. Also it is called 'BIG HUNK' so it must be great. I can't decide now if I want to look it up online to see if I can get a carton of the stuff shipped to Australia or if I should try my hand at making my own nougat. I didn't think I liked nougat but I have been converted. I then opened the next gift. I was a mind puzzle. I recently participated in the puzzle exchange and I am so obsessed with jigsaw puzzles that I had forgotten to write in that exchange info that I also love mind puzzles. My grandfather collects mind puzzles so all of my Christmas memories since I was little involve the whole family attempting the different puzzles in his collects and even if we could do the the year before by the time Christmas rolled around again we had forgotten. I am totally psyched to show this one to my Grandfather, hopefully I will have solved it by Christmas. The final thing that I opened, the pièce de résistance, was a huge 4D Cityscape jigsaw puzzle of San Francisco. You somehow build a 3D puzzle of the city and it changes over the decades outlining the history of the city. I have seen these types of puzzles in the shops before and always wanted one but could not justify the expense of such a luxury item for my puzzle collection. I am pleased when I get myself a good quality one! Anyway, I haven't started my puzzle yet. A recently spent a few months in hospital and my dad flew out from Japan to look after me and we spent day after day doing puzzles together. He is coming to visit again in a couple of weeks so I am saving it up to do with him. Anyway. That is my entire excited ramble about my gifts. Thank you thank you thank you so much secret santa. You are the best! If I could rate this higher than a 10 I would | positive |

TUKWILA, WA — Inter United Football Club of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) are getting ready for their debut season in Tukwila with recent announcements regarding open tryouts and the kits the club will wear.
IUFC open tryouts will be held February 22-23 at Foster High School in Tukwila. The club website says of the tryouts: “Inter United FC will be working with players who have a deep love for the game, but lack the networks, resources, and life essentials to maximize their development. IUFC welcomes young men from around the world and helps them reach their highest potential in soccer by developing them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.” (LINK)
On Tuesday IUFC posted their choices for home and away kits for 2014. The adidas uniforms feature the club’s colors of yellow, green and blue. See below.

As Bellator 169 rolls in to the 3arena in Dublin, Ireland on December 16th 2016, all eyes will be on one of Ireland’s young stars, twenty-year old James Gallagher fighting out of the infamous Straight Blast Gym under the guidance of John Kavanagh as he enters the octagon in front of a packed out crowd.
Gallagher has a perfect 4-0 record since turning professional in 2015 after an also perfect 5-0 amateur career which ended with his withdrawal from the IMMAF 2015 World Championships with an injury sustained in his victorious opening fight.
Anthony “Pretty Boy” Taylor (1-1) will be the man tasked with stopping the James Gallagher show and we grabbed an exclusive interview with the Featherweight ahead of the heated clash in Dublin.
How did signing for Bellator arise after your 5-7 amateur record?
Well I was always a very entertaining fighter throughout my amateur career. King of the Cage wanted to sign me badly but Bellator saw something in me and just said I needed to train!
You’ve fought at both featherweight and lightweight in your short career, is there any issues cutting weight?
I found it really hard at first but eventually as time goes on, you learn to control your body weight and I cancelled a lightweight fight on November 2nd to allow me to prepare more for this.
Gallagher is an exciting fighter, just twenty years old with a 4-0 professional record and a 5-0 amateur record. What are you looking to use to your advantage and do you see weaknesses in his game?
He’s only fought bums! Go and take a look at his record! He hasn’t fought nobody thats as hungry and as ferocious as me. I have nothing to lose but everything to gain in this fight. If I lose I go 1-2 so it’s back to the drawing board but if I win, I’m a superstar!
How do you expect the atmosphere to be like in Dublin and how do you plan to handle it?
Every time I have fought anyone its been in their hometown. It’s never been a problem to me and going to Dublin is no different at all. I love the boos because I know eventually they turn to cheers!
It will be the first time that you fight outside of USA, is there anything you will have to do different to your usual routine?
I joke around with people and say I don’t know how we are going to do this but we’re going to figure this shit out. All I need to do is have fun and trust in my coach.
Gallagher said that he will “end your life in his home country” – what is your response to that?
I’m going to show you the difference between a man and a child! In the style of The Rock.. If you smell, what the Pretty Boy is cookin’.
And if you were to make a prediction, what’s going to happen?
First round knockout! If it goes the distance, he will win as it’s in his hometown. | positive |
'He probably doesn’t want me to say that,' Chaffetz says. Chaffetz: Romney will run — and win
At least one House Republican thinks Mitt Romney will make another run for the White House in 2016 — and this time, he says, the 2012 runner-up will emerge victorious.
“I think he actually is gonna run for president. He probably doesn’t want me to say that,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) told host Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Monday. Chaffetz also backed the former Massachusetts governor early in the GOP nomination process for 2012.
Story Continued Below
“A hundred times he says he’s not, but Mitt Romney has always accomplished what he’s set out to do. I think he’s proven right on a lot of stuff. I happen to be in the camp that thinks he’s actually going to run, and I think he will be the next president of the United States,” Chaffetz said.
( Also on POLITICO: Obamacare's next threat: A September surprise)
Romney has been the focus of much recent speculation regarding a possible run, but he has repeatedly brushed it aside. Yet, the former governor has weighed in on the political world this year, from endorsing Senate candidate Scott Brown to admonishing the White House for its handling of the rapidly deteriorating situation in Iraq and the surrounding region. | positive |

A POINT OF VIEW
Are we able to think clearly when surrounded by mess because chaos is inherent in all our minds, even those of the great writers and thinkers, asks Clive James. The great thing about this slot is that I can pontificate. But a wise pontificator should always remember that he won't solve a global problem in 10 minutes, or even do much more than usefully touch on it in 10 hours. There are two main reasons for that. One reason is that the global problems are, by their nature, devilishly complicated. But everyone knows, or should know, that. The other reason is less obvious, because it lies within the nature of the pontificator. He, or she - in my case he - speaks with a special pontificating voice: integrated, judicious even in its doubts, purporting to contain the distilled wisdom of a lifetime's experience. Almost always, I suspect, this voice is at odds with the personality from which it emerges, and in my case the discrepancy is so glaring that even I can spot it. Writer Will Self's study

As I prepare this script, tapping away at the keyboard as Socrates might have done if he had owned a PC, it seems to me that my brain is at my fingertips, with all its scope and knowledge. But then, after looking up at the screen and noticing that the last two sentences are all in capitals and include various chemical formulae for substances unknown to science, I bounce my forehead off the desk and make the supreme mistake of looking around my room. It's in chaos. The pontificator with plans for fixing the world can't organise his own desk, and as for what lies beyond the desk, forget about it. The evidence that I've spent years forgetting about it is all out there. Piles of old newspapers and magazines. Stacks of box files containing folders containing memos about the necessity to buy more folders and box files. Hundreds of books uselessly hidden behind hundreds of other books. A small statue of a Sumo wrestler, or else a life-sized statue of a small Sumo wrestler. A bag of random receipts that my accountant might have found quite useful in their year of origin, 1998. But let's start with the desk. Or rather, let's not. The desk is too much. Little of its surface is visible through piled notebooks and shuffled papers. But observe this vertically striped earthenware mug full of ball-point pens. If the phone rings with information I must take down, I reach for one of these pens and find that it does not work. Shambolic In the same vertically striped mug there are 15 other pens that do not work either. Vaguely I remember the day when I planned to sort through these pens and retain only those that did work. But I got distracted. What else is in the same mug? Jelly beans, several of which have grown fur. And that's just the mug. What about this desk drawer over here on the right? Ah, there's a touch of organisation here. Every year I put a new set of vital names and addresses in the designated section of my appointments diary. But I never get round to transferring vital names and addresses from previous diaries into the current one. So there are 10 years of diaries in this drawer alone, to supplement the line-up of 20 years of diaries standing over there in the corner of the room behind that valuable stack of obsolete phone books. Or, as I have just typed, obsotel nophe kobos.
There are books I know I own but I have to buy them again because I can't find them

Audio slideshow: Eamonn McCabe's Writers' Rooms All over again I count my blessings that I have not been chosen as one of the subjects for Eamonn McCabe's series of photographs called Writers' Rooms. In London, an exhibition of these photographs has just opened. The photographs have been running as a series in one of the upmarket newspapers. When I looked at the early photos in that series I was envious. Would I be chosen? Then I started praying that I wouldn't be, a prayer which has mercifully been answered. There are some prizes I would like. I would quite like the Nobel Prize, if the money could be delivered tomorrow in a suitcase, clearly marked "Nobel Prize money: bank immediately or it will burst into flames." I would quite like the Booker prize, the Whitbread Prize, the Forward prize and the Unicef prize for the chronically disorganised. I can hear myself pontificating while accepting any or all of those awards. But what I don't want is to be photographed in this room, because any shred of credibility I had as a pontificator would evaporate instantly. I noted with shame that even the most shambolic of the writer's rooms in the photographs was better organised than mine, and the majority of them might have been deliberately arranged to remind me that I myself was working in a skip. These paragons had got it all together without it getting on top of them. Force of nature You could tell that everything was there for a reason. If a woman writer had the propeller of a Sopwith Camel mounted on the wall, it was because her great-grandfather shot down Baron von Richthofen's second cousin in 1917. Order and romance for Barbara Cartland Writers had their books arranged by category, in alphabetical order. I moved into this office 10 years ago, the books came out of their tea chests in any old order, and any old order is still the only order they maintain on my shelves. There are books I know I own but I have to buy them again because I can't find them. Let me add that everything is well dusted. A cleaner comes in once a week and she does a good job. But she is under instructions not to move anything, in case I need it. So she has learned just to polish the whole lot as if it were an installation at Tate Modern. Other writers clearly find it easier to get their act together, and no doubt most non-writers do too. But judging from my own admittedly extreme experience, they can only get things under control by striving mightily against a force of nature that wants things to be disorganised rather than not. Scientists call it entropy. Back in the early 19th Century, Carl von Clausewitz, in his great work about military strategy On War, called it Friction. Clausewitz said that you have to have a plan for the battle but the plan had better include plenty of room for the absolute certainty that the plan will start growing fur from the first moment of its execution. I have just been checking up in my copy of Clausewitz - I had to buy another copy, because my original copy is somewhere in my bookshelves, which means that it might as well be on Mars - and I can tell from every sentence that he was writing with the insight conferred by self knowledge. ...AND YOUR CREATIVE ROOM? Send us a picture of your creative room Email: yourpics@bbc.co.uk, subject 'ROOM' MMS from UK: 61124 Int MMS: +44 7725 100100 I'll bet all the money in my foreign coin collection - it's over there in the fruit bowl, and some of those hundreds of obsolete francs and deutschmarks are sure to be worth something to collectors a hundred years from now. I'll bet all that money in the fruit bowl - and if you're asking where the fruit is, I gathered up all my powers of organisation and threw it out only a month after I forgot to eat it. I'll bet all that money that Clausewitz, when he was working on his magnum opus in his last years, was sitting at a desk that looked like the morning after the Battle of Waterloo. His name for the accumulated effect of Friction was the Fog of War. When I read that, I could tell straight away that here was a man who, like me, couldn't toast a slice of bread without filling his apartment with smoke. When his widow prepared his manuscript for posthumous publication, she probably found sandwiches in it. Dangerous signal When DVDs came in, I rarely played my VHS tapes again, but the VHS tapes did not move out. There are several hundred of them here, stacked on the floor. My first copy of Clausewitz might be somewhere behind them. I know there is a squash racket behind them because I can see the edge of its frame sticking up. John Mortimer's creative space

Will I ever play squash again? Of course not, so why is the racket still there? Perhaps it's trying to remind me that the best equipped pontificator is the one who is aware of his own propensities towards chaos. Unable to organise his own breakfast, he will be less ready to condemn officials who can't organise an efficient system for sending out student grants, or collecting private information onto a CD-ROM that won't be left on a train. But even the most self-aware pontificator is still likely to expect too much of the world. Rarely will he be sufficiently amazed that society functions at all, considering some of the human material it has to work with. In ancient Greece, the philosopher Diogenes, wedded to simplicity, lived in a tub. But he still roamed the streets of Athens by daylight while carrying a lamp. He said that he was looking for an honest man, and everybody wrote it down, saying that Diogenes the cynic was a piercing analyst of the human condition. But maybe he just didn't know how to turn the lamp off. Sitting at this computer, on whose keyboard I have just typed the word "lamp" and actually written the word "lump", I am face to face with an item of technology that Diogenes would not have known how to switch on. I barely know how to switch it on either, have often failed to switch it off - why does it ask me "do you wish to report the error" when I don't know what the error is? And yet I do know that its mere presence in the pile of rubble I call my desk is sending me a dangerous signal. This miracle of machinery is telling me that order can emerge from chaos after all. Well, yes, it can, but only against heavy odds, because chaos is inherent even in the minds of those who make the miracles. And it is certainly inherent within the pontificator. I can pontificate about that with some certainty, even as I type the last words of this sprict, scirpt, script, reach for my mug of coffee and get a mouthful of ball point pens. Eamonn McCabe's Writers' Rooms exhibition is at the Madison Contemporary Art gallery in London until 17 January 2009. Below is a selection of your comments. Don't worry Clive, it just means that like me you're a creative "right brainer". You look for creative solutions to problems whereas our organised "left brain" brothers look for logical solutions to problems. Chaos breeds new ideas whereas as Order simply perpetuates old ones. Chaos is a creative force- order a maintaining one.
Matthew, Staines As a software engineer, my computer desk is my creative space. I have found there is a definite link between productivity and clean and tidy offices. Myself and my colleagues have found that when there is a big job to do that we keep putting off, we will use any excuse to procrastinate, thus our offices all get a spring clean. Our clean desks don't mean we are hard at work, they mean we are avoiding it.
Adam, Nottingham Thank you Clive, thank you. After 34 years, you've given me the strength to come out of my (very disorganised) closet. I'm untidy. There. I've said it. I was born untidy, and despite numerous attempts to rehabilitate myself, I now believe that I will probably be untidy for the rest of my days. I don't think, through medication or other methods of intervention, that I can make myself tidy. It's funny, the way the world is prejudiced against the untidy. I once (briefly) worked for the civil service. When a full, ring-bound dossier was distributed to all staff in the office on the topic of how to keep a tidy desk I knew, for various reasons, that I had to leave. Untidy does not equal unproductive. My husband and I run two successful businesses in three countries - despite my 'handicap' of being hopelessly untidy. So what's so wrong with untidy?
Deirdre Morrison, Belfast Don't worry, Clive. I bet all my dusty Deutschmarks those creative types had a good tidy up when they heard Eamonn was coming round.
Demouton, Perth, Australia People who keep their room in order are just too lazy to look for stuff.
Andy Maluche, Manila, Philippines The funniest description of a cluttered desk in all literature is Tyrone Slothrop's desk in the early pages of Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon, where his incredibly multitudinous, layered leavings are itemized like deposits of sediment, geologically, for nearly a page.

40 Archives - The Appreciator 40 Archives - The Appreciator Appreciating creativity, curiosity and connection Search The Appreciator Home ABOUT INSPIRED EATS + DRINKS ENCOURAGE TUNES Tag Archives: 40 the 40 year old engagement 5 Aug when you’re a girl, you start thinking about your wedding day early on. there is so much tradition, beauty and fantasy (and fluff) surrounding the ceremony. some get so caught up in either trying to get married or the ceremony that who they’re marrying becomes secondary or sometimes not even thirdly or fourthly. i lived through a lot of that in my 20’s and 30’s. i always knew i would get married. never thought i would be 40 before getting married for the first time. but in hindsight… i’m oh so glad i waited. it was perfect for me. maybe it was because it was ground in my head (as only a protective father can do) as a young girl to “never settle” and to be able to support myself. so i never settled. came very close several times, but thank god i waited. which brings me to today. i mean, this day last year. this very evening, ROF proposed to me. in the fairy tale kind of way many tween girls dream about. boy was i glad i waited. this weekend last year was one of my favorites ever in all of my 40 years. i was clueless. completely. stop laughing and saying (what’s new?)

“Debt servicing, combined with other economic ills, can push society to the breaking point” – correct, and that’s what happened in the Weimar Republic. Does it apply to Greece?
Greece’s nominal interest expense was 5,7 BEUR in 2014, or 3,9% of GDP (according to the OECD). In contrast, at the peak since joining the EU, in 1994, Greece’s interest expense was 12,6% of GDP! Few EZ countries spend such a small portion of GDP (or of tax revenues) on interest as Greece did in 2014. To put 2014 into perspective, in 2000, whan Greece’s debt was less than half of what it is now, the interest expense was over 10 BEUR!
There are two reasons why Greece’s interest expense was even as high as 5,7 BEUR in 2014: the very expensive IMF debt and bonds held by private investors (I believe both carry rates between 3-4%). Much of the EZ debt is zero and/or close to zero.
I believe that debt owed to private creditors is about 50 BEUR of the total but I may be off by a few billion. Assuming that the average rate on that is 4% (on the high side), that would translate into an interest expense of 2 BEUR annually. That should be considered as the floor because I doubt that this debt, short of default, could again be renegotiated.
If only the IMF, instead of reminding others to take a haircut, would bring its interest rates down closer to the EZ levels, Greece ought to be able to contain its annual interest expense at 3 BEUR or so.
Compare that to a haircut of Greece’s debt so that the remaining debt is 60% of GDP. With a GDP of 180 BEUR, that would translate into 108 BEUR of debt. At what rate would that debt be priced? I don’t know. But assume that it would be priced at 3%, it would translate into an annual interest expense of 3,3 BEUR, i. e. MORE than the above 3 BEUR which ought to be achievable. If it were priced at 5%, it would translate into 5,4 BEUR.
The debt service (the existing one or the possible lower one as described above) is definitely not the undue burden which everyone talks about. On the other hand, when a country which has lost access to the markets needs to refinance maturities all the time, that IS an undue burden. The traditional solution for that has always been a stretching of maturities. In the case of Greece, they would have to be stretched for a VERY long time, perhaps even including a portion of Evergreen Bonds or 99-year bonds (like Mexico).
The longer the maturities and the lower the rates, the more debt assumes the character of equity. Much of Greece’s debt already has the character of equity today. The objective would have to be to strengthen that character of equity by stretching maturities and lowering those rates which can be lowered without too much of a problem (IMF).
Debt, particularly excessive debt, is always the derivative whereas the underlying is the real economy. One can never improve the underlying by playing around with the derivative. For over 5 years now, there is been over-preoccupation with the derivative and, essentially, ignoration of the underlying, the real economy.
It pains to remember that it is already 4 years since McKinsey had come out with its proposal for “Greece 10 years ahead” and that 40% of that proposal could already be completed by now. The current government probably considers McKinsey’s proposal a creation of neoliberalism. That’s ok. But that does not free them of their responsibility to make their own such proposal (just like it does not excuse previous governments who had ignored the real economy).
In closing, and to stimulate discussion, I would propose a wager. If the current government took the McKinsey proposal to the world and said: “We are committed to implementing this plan and we guarantee that we will implement the legislative and administrative framework to make the plan possible!”, well, I think that investors would then line up in droves. Any bets against me? | positive |
Since the idea of Zionism (a Jewish state in historic Palestine) first gripped the minds of a few intellectuals, the state of Israel has represented its colonisation of the land of Palestine, and its uprooting of the Palestinian people, as a rejuvenation of the earth.
Determined to “make the desert bloom”, an international organisation called the Jewish National Fund planted forests, recreational parks and nature reserves to cover over the ruins of Palestinian villages. Palestinian refugees, former inhabitants of these villages, were driven from the land on which they and their ancestors had lived and worked.
Today, Israel portrays itself as a “green democracy” — an eco-friendly pioneer in agricultural techniques such as drip irrigation, dairy farming, desert ecology, water management and solar energy.
However, Israeli factories drain toxic waste and industrial pollutants down occupied West Bank hilltops into Palestinian villages. Israeli overpumping of groundwater aquifers denies Palestinians access to vital water sources in a context of increasing water scarcity and pollution.
By “greenwashing” the occupation, Israel hides its apartheid policies behind an green mirage. It distracts public attention from its brutal oppression of the Palestinian people, as well as its large-scale degradation of the earth upon which these tragedies unfold.
The Jewish National Fund (JNF), perhaps the first transnational environmental NGO, was established in 1901 as the first wave of Jewish immigrants were settling in Palestine under the banner of Zionism.
Throughout the 20th century, as the indigenous Arab population of Palestine found itself either expelled from its homeland or oppressed under the hand of a foreign invader, the JNF succeeded in raising enormous amounts of money to acquire and develop land Palestinian land.
Distinct from other transnational Zionist fundraising and advocacy organisations, such as the Jewish Agency, the JNF portrayed itself, from the beginning, as an environmental organization.
Its website claims it serves to “protect the land, green the landscape and preserve vital ecosystems” by “planting seedlings, maintaining forest health, combating desertification, protecting watersheds and managing water flow …[and] balancing the phenomenal growth and development Israel has experienced in the last decade with the maintenance of an ecologically sound environment”.
It expresses pride that “Israel is the only country in the world that will enter the 21st century with a net gain in numbers of trees”. The JNF credits itself with planting 250 million trees, building over 210 reservoirs and dams, developing over 250,000 acres of land, creating more than 1,000 parks, and providing the infrastructure for over 1,000 communities throughout Israel.
Suiting a state constructed for a single cultural-religious group, the JNF promotes an exclusionary, discriminatory brand of environmentalism. Directly owning 13% of Israel’s land and effectively controling another 80%, the JNF’s constitution explicitly states that its land cannot be rented, leased, sold to, or worked by non-Jews.
Throughout the first half of the 20th century, the JNF helped to exile hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families, bulldoze their homes, and clear the land to make way for Jewish settlement.
It bought large tracts of land from absentee landowners, evicted local Arab tenant farmers, uprooted natural vegetation of olive, carob and pistachio trees, and planted vast swaths of European pinera (conifers) and eucalyptus trees.
Forests, parks and recreational facilities were strategically placed atop the ruins of destroyed Palestinian villages. The fast-growing pines helped erase the history of Palestinian existence and prevent refugees from ever returning to their homes.
Pine forests were planted to guard and expand settlements built atop stolen land, and, after 1967, to seize and divide Palestinian territory within East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
The pines helped evoke images of a European wilderness, creating a familiar environment for the mostly European Jewish settlers. So much so that settlers affectionately nicknamed Carmel National Park, planted partially over the destroyed Palestinian village of al-Tira, “little Switzerland” for its resemblance to the Swiss Alps.
A foreign species, these pine forests, often fail to adapt to the local soil, and require frequent re-planting. As they age, they demand more water and become more prone to problems like pests and disease. It can also help lead to disasters, such as the 2010 Carmel wildfire, deemed the worst in Israel’s history.
As their fast-growing acidic pine needles fall to the ground, they destroy all other surrounding small plants, thus ruining the livelihood of Palestinian shepherds, whose animals depend on grazing land.
JNF’s time-tested method of ethnically cleansing, and then “greening”, the desert continues to this day.
An ongoing US$600 million, 10-year JNF program called “Blueprint Negev” seeks to develop reservoirs, pine forest afforestation and water conservation programs in the Negev desert. This is at the expense of more than 150,000 Palestinian Bedouin, whose “unrecognised” villages, as a direct result of Israeli policies, already lack electricity, running water and sewage disposal.
Since 2010, the JNF has attempted to “green” the Negev by planting the 1 million-pine “GOD TV Forest” over the Palestinian village of Al-Araqib, which, as it steadfastly resists extinction, has been demolished eight times.
“GOD TV Forest” is named after its proud sponsor, a far-right, pro-settler Evangelical Christian organisation whose stated purpose is “to plant a million trees to prepare the land for the return of [God's] son”.
As “GOD TV Forest” and “Blueprint Negev” seek to flood the semi-arid Negev with the invasive European pine, Israel seeks to tear the historically semi-nomadic Bedouin from their ancestral grazing lands, and to herd them into unnatural, sedentary lifestyles in impoverished and isolated townships.
Social strife and decay of traditional values inevitably accompany such a forced process.
After a century of expulsion, settlement, development and rapid industrialisation, indigenous arboreta make up only 11% of Israeli forests, and pre-1948 growth accounts for only 10% of Israel’s greenery.
JNF pine forests, parks and recreation areas blanket the hills of Israel. Tour guides, in the midst of a hike, dread the inevitable moment when someone asks “what is that old abandoned mosque doing in the middle of this forest?”
The parallels with European colonisation of the American continent are obvious. In a cruel historical irony, the building in the 1980s by JNF Canada of Israel’s Canada National Park, covering a destroyed Palestinian village, was begun as a twinning project with Toronto’s Downsview Park — which sits atop unacknowledged First Nations territory.
The actions of the JNF fulfill the Zionist desire to transform and control the land of Palestine, to shape its hills in the Zionist image.
When the pioneer Zionist movement arrived from Europe in the late 1800s, they found themselves dissatisfied with the rocky, semi-arid eastern shore of the Mediterranean. They sought to “make the desert bloom” as proof that the Jewish people, and not the indigenous Arabs, were the destined cultivators of what they described as “a land without people for a people without land”.
Bringing little agricultural experience from their mostly lower-middle class urban backgrounds, these pioneers first adopted local Arab small-scale dry land subsistence farming methods, producing mainly non-irrigated wheat, barley, potatoes, grapes, olives and figs for domestic consumption.
Soon, however, they dismissed centuries-old sustainable Palestinian agricultural practices as “undeveloped”, and, funded by French banker-philanthropist Baron de Rothschild, used sophisticated European steam engines, mechanised plows, reapers, and threshers to develop capital-intensive vineyards and cash crop plantations for commercial marketing.
Today, Israel markets itself abroad as a model for 21st-century green capitalism, while perpetuating widespread ecological devastation and blatant environmental racism on the ground.
As the dependence of the imperial West on Gulf oil increases, Israel’s occupation of Palestine becomes a crucial focal point. In Israel’s occupation of Palestine, we see how environmental devastation coincides with ethnic cleansing, and how each deepens the other.
The quest for justice in Palestine lies at the heart of anti-imperialist struggle worldwide — a struggle in defense of the Earth, and the dispossessed that wander upon it.
In the words of Coya White Hat-Artichoker, member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota and founding member of the LGBTQ Two Spirit First Nations Collective: “I see what is happening in Palestine as an indigenous struggle for sovereignty, at times, even the right to exist.
“It is also one of genocide ... I see Israel’s systemic and intentional destruction and removal of Palestinian lives, homes, and communities as very similar to the destruction of communities, lives, and removal of Native people from their traditional lands.
“I no longer see terrorists there any more; I see people resisting and fighting extinction … I believe that as people in the US who make these connections, it’s important to be thoughtful about what is happening, in our names and with the US government’s money.”

Comments: 0 Favourites: 0 Rating: Characters: Dialogue: Plot: Wording: In the mist of the dark dreary night a figure began to grow. It slowly strode forward edging closer to the scared girl. Even from afar its cold menacing pure evil could be sensed. The girls body was frozen unable to move. Her voice was caught in the throat, unable to scream. Her body shook fiercely. Her mind begged her to run, begged her to scream, to hide, anything but she couldnt move. The figure drew closer the darkness seemed to rise around it shielding the talk dark beast. The poor girl knew it was evil, she could smell it rotten flesh. She could feel its fury. The mist began to grow thicker and thicker turning into a dense almost a green fog. She could no longer see the black mass, but she knew in her bones it was still approaching filled with dark rage. Suddenly her body began to work, slow at first, 1, 2, 3 small steps she took behind her. Then finally the scream that had been trapped in her throat tore out piercing the utter silence. Her body whipped around and her feet pounded heavy on the wet leaves, as she began to run. She ran as far and as fast as she possibly could. Her chest grew tight as the cold air tried to fight down to her screaming lungs. Her lungs began to itch as a sharp cramp in her side finally slowed the girl. The fog was still thick and the night so dark as if there was no moon in the sky. Surrounded by thick woods, the branches hung all around her. Her body gave up she fell to her knees tears flooding her eyes. Her nose dripping snot, she tried to feed her burning lungs, her deep breathes were desperate. She heard it not far behind her. The crunching leaves, twigs snapping, she knew she had to get up, she had to keep running. Managing to get to her feet she began a slow jog. Mentally she scolded her body telling it to shut up, to stop complaining. Her aching body continued along, just as a lightning bolt struck high above sending a branch tumbling down. Crashing to pieces inches in front of her. Her scream didnt falter this time it rung out uncontrollably echoing throughout the large forest. She was losing all hope as she ran as fast as her legs would allow. She knew they couldnt carry her much further. But she could hear the dark mysterious beast not far behind her. Stopping wasnt an option. Her whole body begged her to stop. She knew it could kill her at any moment, but for some twisted sick reason it was keeping her alive. Simply toying with her, it was a game to this... this sick unexplainable creature. The whole time she knew it wasnt far behind. She never spared a look back, not wanting to see. Just as her body was finally about to give in and her mind agreed. She saw a light far in the distance glowing brightly. Her mind full of hope shouted orders at her. Run, be quite, and stop crying! But her body was unable to run now, and her weak feet unable to step accordingly to the fallen branches, and her tears flowed all on their own. She did however walk determinedly towards the bright light, falling few times but managing to get back. The fog began to cloud around her mind as if it was draining the tiny energy she had left. Encouraging her to give in, pressing heavily upon her making her more tired than she should be, urging her to fall again, and again. When she was ten feet or so from the light she fell and couldnt get up. Then sleep or something else entirely took her. She awoke standing scared on a dark and dreary night. Staring at a dark being growing in the distance. She was stuck reliving the horrible night over and over again, never getting to the light. The horror of having to relive the night was unfathomable. With no answer or understanding.

Meet the Inspector General
Michael E. Horowitz was sworn in as the Inspector General of the Department of Justice (DOJ) on April 16, 2012, following his confirmation by the U.S. Senate. Mr. Horowitz was previously confirmed by the Senate in 2003 to serve a six-year term as a Commissioner on the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
As Inspector General, Mr. Horowitz oversees a nationwide workforce of more than 450 special agents, auditors, inspectors, attorneys, and support staff whose mission is to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse, and misconduct in DOJ programs and personnel, and to promote economy and efficiency in Department operations. Since 2015, he has simultaneously served as the Chair of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), an organization comprised of all 73 federal Inspectors General.
Mr. Horowitz worked from 2002 to 2012 as a partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham, & Taft LLP, where he focused his practice on white collar defense, internal investigations, and regulatory compliance. He also was a board member of the Ethics Resource Center and the Society for Corporate Compliance and Ethics.
Prior to working in private practice, Mr. Horowitz worked in DOJ from 1991 to 2002. He served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1991 to 1999, where he was the Chief of the Public Corruption Unit and a Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division. In 1995, he was awarded the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service for his work on a complex police corruption investigation. Thereafter, he worked in the DOJ Criminal Division in Washington from 1999 to 2002, first as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General and then as Chief of Staff. Mr. Horowitz began his legal career as a law clerk for Judge John G. Davies of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and as an associate at Debevoise & Plimpton.
Mr. Horowitz earned his Juris Doctor, magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School and his Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, from Brandeis University. | positive |
Egypt's Military Struggles To Quell Growing ISIS-Linked Insurgency
Enlarge this image toggle caption Hassan Ammar/AP Hassan Ammar/AP
In 2013, there were seven known militants from the village that Ahmed Abu Deraa comes from in Egypt's northern Sinai Peninsula. Today, that number has jumped to about 60, says Abu Deraa, an independent journalist who sometimes works for NPR. All of them are with Sinai Province, the local affiliate of the so-called Islamic State.
The Sinai's militants are all gathering under the ISIS umbrella, Abu Deraa says. But what they're fighting for isn't some grand regional cause.
"We've reached to a point where it's about vengeance," he says. "Because your father was killed or your brother, because your house was destroyed."
For the most part they're targeting only Egypt's security forces, or people they accuse of aiding the military. Meanwhile, Egypt is facing a growing insurgency in its northern Sinai Peninsula. It has been brewing for years. As violence has increased in recent months, Egypt has intensified a wide military crackdown to quell the unrest.
Analysts say that's part of the problem: The mass crackdowns likely are driving more people to join the militants.
"The crux of this policy is two things," says Omar Ashour, a Middle East politics and security expert at Britain's University of Exeter and an associate fellow at London's Chatham House. First, he says, "is heavy-handedness, a hard crackdown on dissent and all forms of suspected militant activity." The government is also trying "to co-opt some of the tribal leaders to provide information, either by intimidation or by incentives."
'A Full-Fledged Insurgency'
It's a policy that has been going on for more than a decade, Ashour says.
The Sinai long has been an underdeveloped region, with few services for its largely Bedouin community. And it has seen a decade-long cycle of sporadic militancy and massive state crackdowns.
"Now you have a full-fledged, mid-level insurgency with significant support in some areas," Ashour says. "You are having really Egypt's most powerful, armed non-state actor ever."
Now the militants have a regional backer in ISIS.
But unlike ISIS, the Sinai militants are largely from the area, and for the most part are targeting government security forces — not civilians, say Ashour, residents and other analysts.
Ashour says the militants' arsenal has also grown to include anti-aircraft weaponry, mortars and small and heavy artillery. And their tactics are more sophisticated.
'It Creates More Terrorism'
After attacks on July 1 that killed at least 21 Egyptian military personnel, Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was defiant. He traveled to Sinai and declared it not just "under control," but "completely stable."
The government is calling this a war on terror. It blames the unrest in Sinai, along with many other things, on the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Southern Sinai is still home to tourist resorts and the Red Sea beaches, but much of northern Sinai, the focal point of the conflict, is barred to outside journalists.
Sherif Mohy el-Din, a researcher on Sinai for the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, a civil liberties and human rights organization, says the region won't be pacified through military might alone.
"It creates more terrorism," he says. "So I think rather than just using the security policy, we should make it more social, pro-human rights — not use of collective punishment."
Residents from the area of Sheikh Zwayed, one of the Sinai's focal conflict points, are fleeing by the thousands since the coordinated attack July 1 on military checkpoints, mainly because of Egyptian military strikes and a lack of water and electricity.
Om Yousef is one of the women who fled. Speaking by phone, she asked to be identified by her nickname for fear of retribution.
"The army has made many mistakes," she says. Her own home was struck by military bombs this month and her father was injured. That's when she fled to another part of the region.
The area is becoming unlivable, she says, and militants have planted landmines on many roads.
Still, she says, the militants try to spare civilians. "The terrorists are organized," she says. "If they want to target the army, they target them only — and we are not harmed."
Near the town of Sheikh Zwayed in northern Sinai, home to some of the heaviest fighting, "we're in the middle of a war," says Abdel Moneim al-Rifaie.
He's a leader of the Bedouin Riyashat tribe. He describes rocket attacks and airstrikes in his neighborhood, but says he's not sure who is firing what weaponry.
"We are citizens who need to be secured by our forces," he says. But people feel unsafe, so they're running away — despite the military calling from loudspeakers in local mosques for them to stay home.
There were 40,000 people in al-Rifaie's tribe living in Sheikh Zwayed and the surrounding area last month. Now, only 2,500 remain in their homes.
Twenty-five people from his tribe have been killed so far in clashes this year, though he wouldn't specify whether it was the military or the militants that killed them. Seven others were beheaded by extremists, who accused them of working with the Egyptian army. | positive |
The United States officially confirmed its first Zika virus death on Friday. According to CDC reports, an elderly Puerto Rican man recently died of complications from a bout with Zika. While Puerto Rico is currently experiencing massive outbreaks of the virus, health officials state the man’s death occurred as a result of severe internal bleeding stemming from Zika infection.
Earlier this year, a World Health Organization spokesperson declared that in 2016, 4 million cases of Zika virus could be expected in the Americas alone. Due to potentially crippling birth defects, this mosquito-borne illness is most dreaded among pregnant women.
[Photo by Ian Waldie/Getty Images] Though in adults, Zika’s prevalent symptoms include fever, skin rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis, the consequences of Zika upon infants can be far more devastating. Infants born with Zika virus often suffer from microcephaly. This defective condition results in abnormally small head size and brain damage.
Other severe birth defects caused by microcephaly can include seizure, developmental milestone delay, intellectual disability, problems with movement and balance, difficulty swallowing, along with hearing and vision impairment.
While 707 cases of Zika virus have been reported in the United States territory, 90 of those are attributed to pregnant women. In light of the dangers associated with Zika virus, health officials staunchly stated a warning.
“Residents of and travelers to Puerto Rico should continue to employ mosquito bite avoidance behaviors, take precautions to reduce the risk for sexual transmission, and seek medical care for any acute illness with rash or fever. Clinicians who suspect Zika virus disease in patients who reside in or have recently returned from areas with ongoing Zika virus transmission should report cases to public health officials.”
Adding to the dangers faced in Puerto Rico, experts predict a staggering 2 billion people worldwide may eventually be affected by Zika virus. Consequently, it was also concluded that upwards of 5 million newborn babies are now at risk for microcephaly. Concerning the growing number of Zika miscarriages, Dr. Oluwatosin Goje, an Infectious Disease OB/GYN at the Cleveland Clinic, told CBS News the following.
“With infections in general during pregnancy, there’s a risk of miscarriage. Other infections that can cause miscarriage include toxoplasmosis, rubella, and cytomegalovirus, and many times depending on how early the infection is contracted, some people may have a miscarriage. One of the things that researchers are studying is the suspicion that having contracted the Zika virus in the first trimester may be more detrimental compared to the second or third trimester, so that might explain the miscarriages in some people.”
Dr. Goje’s comments came after two U.S. women had miscarried from Zika infection while traveling abroad. Unfortunately, Zika virus cases are on the rise in the continental United States as well. States most likely to incur a Zika outbreak include warmer-weathered southeastern areas, including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
[Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images] While chances of contracting the Zika virus are highest during spring and summer, a few universal tips people can employ to greatly reduce becoming infected include applying insect repellent often, eliminating standing water, and wearing long sleeved shirts and turtlenecks when insect repellent is not available.

Terry Eagleton's quip that reading Richard Dawkins on theology is like listening to someone "holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is The British Book of Birds" is a funny and memorable contribution to a debate that is rarely amusing and frequently forgettable. Whether you agree with the charge or not, the complaint is of a kind we have become very familiar with: disputants in the religion debate are talking past each other because they do not have a sufficiently rich understanding of the positions they stand against.
I'm very much in sympathy with this view, and this series is largely an attempt to try to find more constructive points of engagement that can only emerge if we ditch lazy and tired preconceptions about those with whom we disagree. At the same time, however, I'm all too aware that "you just don't understand" is a card that is often played far too swiftly and without justification.
Most obviously, it cannot be the case that the views of someone who is most immersed in or knows most about a religion always trump those of a relatively uninformed outsider. People who live and breathe a faith know more about it than those who do not – but this quantitative advantage does not guarantee better qualitative judgements. If it did, by the same logic, we should take the word of the earnest astrologer of 40 years' standing over the clear evidence that it's all baloney. Indeed, being deeply immersed may be a positive disadvantage, in that it might make it impossible to take a clear-sighted, impartial view. So Dawkins and his ilk are correct when they say that they are not obliged to become experts in theology in order to make criticisms of religion.
Of course, there is a level of ignorance that makes reasonable criticism impossible. But where that is the case, it should always be possible to point out what elementary mistake the critic has made. It is never reasonable to fob someone off on the basis that they do not understand: it is always necessary to explain what they do not understand. But also – and here's the rub – it's also essential to make it understandable. Rule one of intellectual engagement is that all parties must sincerely attempt both to understand others and to make themselves understood.
It has become evident to me, however, that many people, especially the religious, suffer from a kind of conceptual claustrophobia. Their beliefs are of their essence somewhat vague and they are terrified of being pinned down. Although critics often leap on this and claim that this betrays woolly thinking, evasion or obscurantism, I think that there are times when such a refusal to commit is justified.
I remember, for example, an impassioned talk I once heard by the recently sainted Giles Fraser. Recounting the story in Exodus of Moses going up the mountain to meet God to get the Ten Commandments, Fraser said: "The higher he goes up the mountain, the more the mist comes down. The closer he gets to God, the less and less he is able to see." Meanwhile, at Sinai's foot, the idolatrous masses are "running around building a golden calf, making God into a thing".
It is always possible to think there is a fog when really it's just that your glasses have steamed up. But I'm not only prepared to allow that an intelligent religious faith might have a big fat mystery at its heart, I think it must have. Only the most juvenile gods are like super-humans we can truly understand. If there is a God, it must surely passeth all understanding.
But embracing this mystery comes at a price. If, like the archbishop of Canterbury, your faith is a kind of "silent waiting on the truth, pure sitting and breathing in the presence of the question mark", then think very carefully before you open your mouth. Too often I find that faith is mysterious only selectively. Believers constantly attribute all sorts of qualities to their gods and have a list of doctrines as long as your arm. It is only when the questions get tough that, suddenly, their God disappears in a puff of mystery. Ineffability becomes a kind of invisibility cloak, only worn when there is a need to get out of a bit of philosophical bother.
Also, maintaining that some aspects of religion are ineffable doesn't mean that all are. Indeed, it entails that some are very clear indeed. Ask Fraser, for example, if he thinks God is a thing and he should answer clearly and unequivocally, no. Likewise, people should be able to give clear answers to straight questions such as "was Christ's resurrection physical, leaving an empty tomb?", even if that answer is "I don't know". Maintaining, for instance, that it is naive to read the gospels as literal history is – or should be – to maintain that the events it describes did not, or need not, have literally happened.
I need to make these issues clear now because over the coming weeks, in the name of trying to uncross some wires and get some real discussion going, I'm going to be trying to get greater clarity about just what different camps in the religion debate are really maintaining. I anticipate all sorts of objections of the kind I've mentioned: that I'm simplifying; that I'm trying to eff the ineffable; that I am being too literal minded. I want to make it clear right now that these kinds of responses won't work as get-out-of-jail-free cards. They need justification.
We also have to be willing to accommodate the fact that belief comes in infinite shades and varieties. No two people believe exactly the same thing, and that presents another opportunity for evasion: plausible denial that you believe what is being attributed to you. We have to accept that, to make progress, we sometimes have to say, "that's not quite what I think, but it may be close enough. Go on." If anything less than perfect understanding counts as misunderstanding, then everything is misunderstood.
Everyone says that they are in favour of greater mutual comprehension, but the failure to achieve it is not just a result of people not making the effort to understand. Often it's just that people refuse to make themselves understood.
• Following up on my previous post on the appeal of uncertainty, I've posted a podcast of a talk I gave about this at a Sea of Faith conference. | positive |

We now have a new president-elect and President Trump’s first responsibility will be to turn down the heat on the pot which he has had on the boil for a number of months. This is definitely the most pressing action the president of the United States can take. Many are now wondering how this affects us in the UK. Well, here is my view.
I think that in the Labour Party we need to have the difficult discussions with ourselves and with the general public. We are always talking about what we are against but where’s the narrative about what we are for? Where’s the discussions acknowledging concerns around diverse communities, immigration, sexism, race, racism and class?
It is important to listen to the concerns of people and then to talk more about delivering the change that is needed so that we don’t tolerate our differences but accept and embrace them. We know where our hearts lie and it is in championing the welfare of the working people in the country. We as a party were created by the trade unions to protect people at work. Some people wrongly believe that we are all about the welfare state, when actually we are about the welfare of individuals and making our country fairer and more equal. That’s where I think the conversation should start.
Labours vision and values are not just about people tolerating others, but accepting others. We all should want people to be promoted on their merits and not on their privilege, race or sex. There is a worrying far-right sentiment echoing across the world but there is also an antidote to this, and that is socialism – a better and fairer world where we do not pit one group against another. Old against young, men against women, white against non-white. It’s time to not only talk the language of unity but to set out the vision of unity.
There has been an erosion of workers’ rights and this has resulted in workers feeling voiceless. They feel unable to participate in the things that directly affect them. So when given a chance to vote they will not vote for more of the same, why would they when life continues to be a struggle? Surely anything is better in their eyes than the status quo.
Zero-hour contracts need to be banned, the minimum wage should be increased and a fair rent policy introduced. If you do a fair day’s work you should be able to afford to live. Labour’s front bench should have this as the central principle for all its policies and John McDonnell, our shadow chancellor, has already said that he will cost all of our manifesto commitments. The narrative should be how do we keep the cost of living low and increase the standard of living?
By reducing the inequality in income and wealth we can build a progressive tax system and create a more equal society, boosting businesses and closing the gap between the incomes of the poorest and the wealthiest and ending the gender pay gap. We need to prove not only that we can do it but also show how we would do it.
We need to show that Labour wants a working economy. We want to create more jobs by in-sourcing our public and local services. We want to run our busses and energy as not for profit companies. Paying people more in wages, having cheaper energy and fair rents will result in less money from the public purse being spent on benefits. It’s a total win-win. Our rescue package for the banks totalled £500bn, and while it avoided a recession the banks are still being reckless with our money so why can’t we have an owned national investment and regional banks? Instead of legislating against rip-off pay day loans we can invest in local banks that will give fair loans.
As a Labour Party we will create a million good quality jobs by investing £500bn in infrastructure and industry across the regions using British steel. We should insist on transparency in companies who we do business with to ensure that they have diversity on their boards and everyone is fairly paid. Just imagine how focused companies would be if they knew that they will only get the big contracts if they employ people on fixed-hour contracts instead of zero hour ones. And if they had to pay women the same as men. When you join the dots it makes sense and everybody wins, from the lowest paid to the highest paid.
This Labour vision is possible. We really have to start believing in Labour and our Labour message, so that the country can believe in it too.

More than Ten Years since the end of the Third World War, the United States enjoys an era of unprecedented prosperity, but it seems peace remains a goal that can never be reached. The Flood has finally come to an end, with the Earth Working Group's construction, or rather reconstruction, of a series of ancient rivers and lakes in the Sahara, and the refreezing of the polar caps via the Mars Solar Reflectors (now being deployed across the system to provide much needed sunlight to the Titan and Triton colonies), but the new water bodies and return to a cold north appear to have caused more wars than they stopped.
The First Nations of the arctic circle originally left Canada on fairly good terms; Canada would gain access to arctic oil supplies without having to destroy their own natural beauty, and the First Nations got the independence and prosperity they had longed for. But with the refreezing of the polar caps, and the death of the oil industry thanks to space based energy sources, these prosperous nations were turned back into bankrupt tundras. To survive the First Nations allied to invade Canada's northern territories which were still warm enough to support some agriculture and industry (thanks in part to the Earth Working Group's "Rewilding" of the subarctic). The Arctic Nations had long prepared to defend their valuable oil supplies and funded a military buildup before the Refreeze. Canada and Quebec quickly found themselves being invaded by the First Nations. For the better part of a decade the US had occupied Cascadia and the Yukon in the hope to prevent any hostilities between the First Nations and the Canadians, and had no desire to face another invading power to their northern border. In 2065 the US entered the war with the Canadians and Quebecios. With America's entrance into the First Nations War, Canada had hoped that victory would be assured, but one year on, the United States's commitment is clearly marginal at best, as they fight mainly to keep the war from reaching American interests. This may change as the current Administration faces an impatient public in the 2066 midterms, but for now the American presidency has no desire to make its dominance of the former Anglosphere any more formal than necessary.
Meanwhile in Africa the new freshwater rivers and lakes have spurred an economic boom as agriculture in the Sahara now becomes the new reality. Once marginalized peoples have used this opportunity to gain independence, often at the expense of nations that were already weakened during the Flood. The Turks provide a degree stability at their immediate periphery, but beyond that the chaos is too extreme for anyone to attempt to restore order. Despite this, the economies of the Sahara are blossoming with the land, and investors from Southern Europe are riding the coat-tails of this growth, saving themselves from Northern Europe's fate. Where Germany and France were once the economic engines of the Eurozone, they are now sad reminders of the death of the Eurocentric world. There was hope that Britain and Ireland would be repopulated after the flood, but with London looking like a drained reef, and more than a generation of Britains having known nothing but a life in the United States and Canada, it seems that whatever remains of these once great civilizations will soon be formal American territories.
While chaos reigns in the forgotten corners of the Earth, in space prosperity and peace live side by side. The wealth of the Outer Planets has grown with the demand for energy on Earth, and the construction of the Ecuador, Indonesian, and East African Space Elevators have opened Earth to more goods from the colonies than ever. Mars will be fit for permanent human habitation within 15 years, and Venus now supports the beginnings of an ocean. The Moon remains the refinery of the Solar System, as gasses from Jupiter and Saturn flow down system for a hungry society. Most of these resources flow thoughout the colonies and never make it to Earth due to the limited global infrastructure (by Colonial standards). The first warp drive capable probe, the Prometheus, has proven faster than light travel is possible, and in 2063 mankind took the next step with the launch of the Enterprise (because what else were they going to call it?) Warp Drive will not be fit for transporting the large masses that come with colonization, that task falls to the great O'Neil ships being built in the Belt and Jupiter to colonize Mars when the time comes.
