Children are spending more time playing video games than kicking a ball or jump rop. A sedentary behaviour that start way before the teenage years mentioned the British Journal of Sports Medicine . The scientists followed 400 children in the East of England for 8 years. They started measured children's physical activity who were 7, 9, 12 and 15 years old by using a small monitor that needed to be wore for 7 days straight. THE RESULTS SPEAKS FOR THEMSELVES : The physical activity of 6 out of 10 children decreases from age 7, however it seems to be lower for the girls. Only 1 out of 5 children keep an extreme physical activity during their childhood and teenage years, says the scientist. «This generation is part of a screens era : Tv, telephone and video game. Children socialize through social media. », explains Claire Mounier-Vehier, president of the cardiology federation, who sees the danger and wants to fight children's inactivity. Disturbing data In forty years, the children from 9 to 16 lost 25% of their physical ability. They slower and have less stamina. In 1971, children ran 800 meters in 3 minutes but now they need 4. This period is crucial «At the end of the teenager years, we reach our maximum cardiorespiratory capacity. After 35 years old, it will start to decline but we can only slow down the process if we exercise», explains François Carré, professor in the area of cardiovascular physiology at the university of Rennes. We need to take action to boost our immune system. This means practice a daily activity that requires physical effort such cycling, play football or even walk to school. We just have to exercise for 60 minutes every day. The primary function of school Today, 4 children out of 10 walk to school and only 2% are going with their bicycle or scooter. 45% of the students live less than 2 km from school and 21% between 2 and 5 km. «It is not their fault if they aren't active», says François Carré. For the scientist, if the parents use a stroller when a child can walk, drive them to school while it is close by and they don't exercise neither, it is difficult for the child to have good habits. «The school should play an important role and remind the children every year, how to take care of their health : I eat healthy, I exercise, I don't smoke…», ended François Carré.

Read
The easiest way to start implementing it is to imagine that the data structure is already created and everything we need to do is to read a value from it. The obvious untyped solution will be to call trans.get("parts").get("from").get("name") . And this approach works fine until we need to update it. After the first get call, the reference to the root transaction is lost and there’ll be no way to run the update operation.
Instead, it’s possible to focus on the way of traversing the data structure without loosing the reference to the root. To accomplish this, it’s possible to implement Focus interface which holds the reference to the root and accumulates a path inside.
interface Focus<out Op> { fun narrow(k: String): Focus<Op> val op: Op }
The interesting thing that Focus is parametrised over an operation. That operation can be Read or Write depending on the context. When a leaf is reached, the typed version will finally perform an action using that operation.
narrow down the usage val f = Focus(trans) // {"root" -> Transaction, path -> []} val f2 = f.narrow("parts") // {"root" -> Transaction, path -> ["parts"]} val f3 = f2.narrow("from") // {"root" -> Transaction, path -> ["parts", "from"]} // ...
But even though the focus does its job very well, it’s completely untyped, and strings have to be used to navigate through. The type must be stored somewhere. As everyone knows that any problem can be solved with an additional layer of abstraction! Let’s define a wrapper parametrised over the type of an underlying node.
the missed layer class Cursor<out T, out Op>(val f: Focus<Op>)
Cursor is parametrised over a node type and the operation is derived from the focus. And now, the Transaction definition starts making sense. The narrowing can be delegated to the Node object that knows the type and uses the name of a property to create a new Cursor with a new Focus inside.
interface Transaction val <F> Cursor<Transaction, F>.payment by Node<Payment>()
Here, the payment is an extension property on the Transaction type which is just a marker interface. It will never be instantiated, instead by delegating property to Node<Payment> , the conversion Cursor<Transacton, F> ⇒ Cursor<Payment, F> will be made.
how Node is defined open class Node<out T> { open operator fun <Op> getValue(ref: Cursor<*, Op>, property: KProperty<*>): Cursor<T, Op> { return Cursor(ref.f.narrow(property.name)) } }
Inside Node , a new Cursor is created with the focus narrowing down using a property name. Using this technique, by just calling extension properties a focus can narrow down to the last node where the last node is delegated to Leaf instead of Node .
interface Person val <F> Cursor<Person, F>.name by Leaf<String>()
Leaf<V> is defined in the same way as Node except for the return value of getValue .
open class Leaf<out V> { open operator fun <Op> getValue(ref: Cursor<*, Op>, property: KProperty<*>): Cursor<Leaf<V>, Op> { return Cursor(ref.f.narrow(property.name)) } }
Leaf is needed to define an extension property that allows reading a value from that node.

While critics of the Affordable Care Act use the problems of a newly launched website to discredit the law and the idea of expanded access to healthcare, new evidence keeps emerging of the benefits that expanding access to health coverage and investing in prevention and public health can bring to the people who need it most.
Two studies released at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association this week helped make the case.
The first showed that the Massachusetts law now known as “Romneycare” that served as a model for the Affordable Care Act—aka Obamacare—greatly reduced the number of people without health insurance in the state and improved the health of residents. Because of its similarity to federal health reform, the findings offer a preview of what the entire country may experience in the coming years.
The findings, compiled by John Auerbach, former Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Health, showed that the number of uninsured fell from 7 percent to 2 percent, with the rate of uninsured dropping from 8 percent to 4 percent among African-Americans and from 10 percent to 7 percent among Latinos.
In addition, flu vaccinations, cancer screenings, chronic disease prevention and other health improvement efforts increased and tobacco use declined.
“The Affordable Care Act is being implemented around the country and there is a lot of interest in what it will mean for the health of the nation’s residents," Auerbach said. "We have learned that there is reason to believe that it will improve access to care and improve health outcomes for all of the racial and ethnic populations who are eligible for its benefits.”
Long-standing gaps in rates of disease and death between white residents and non-white residents didn’t close during the study period. Auerbach suggested these gaps may narrow over time as more people gain insurance and keep it for longer periods of time. But the study also suggests that insurance alone won’t eliminate health disparities. Doing that will require concerted efforts to transform communities to make them healthier places to live.
The second study, led by Glen Mays of the University of Kentucky, showed that when public health funding in a community rises, rates of infant mortality and deaths from preventable disease fall. The findings were based on an analysis of data from 3,000 local public health agencies in the U.S. over a 17-year period.
For every 10 percent increase in spending on public health and prevention, the researchers found a 4.3 percent drop in infant mortality and declines of 0.5 percent to 3.9 percent in deaths from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and influenza. Communities that invested in prevention also experienced significant reductions in the growth of healthcare costs.
When public health and prevention dollars were invested in low-income communities, the health gains were 20 to 44 percent larger than when the investments were made in wealthier communities, the research found. Reductions in death rates and healthcare costs were especially pronounced in communities that spread their public health dollars across a broad mix of preventive services.
The results show that “new resources, such as funding from the Affordable Care Act’s Prevention Fund, can have a larger impact if targeted to lower-resource, higher-need communities and if spread across a range of prevention strategies,” said Mays, director of the University’s National Coordinating Center for Public Health Services and Systems Research. | positive |

2013 was certainly a great time to be a Seminole. Florida State breezed through the ACC schedule en route to a school-record 14 victories and its third national championship. While the 2013 football season was certainly FSU’s best in more than a decade and arguably ever, it was a frustrating year for a handful of Florida State players relegated to the sideline with season-ending injuries.
The 2014 season is upon us and a number of key pieces to the Seminoles’ run to the national championship are gone. Though Florida State is almost a lock to begin the season ranked in the top 5 nationally and a popular pick to repeat as national champs, the Seminoles may need contributions from some of the guys that missed the 2013 season. Talent is not an issue for Florida State, but depth may be at some positions and to help solve those issues, FSU will need a bounce-back season from players absent a year ago.
Among those returning for Florida State is a pair of pass-catchers in wide receiver Jarred “Scooter” Haggins and tight end Kevin Haplea. Both Haplea and Haggins missed the 2013 season with ligament tears to the knee.
Haggins watched on last season while Rashad Greene, Kelvin Benjamin and Kenny Shaw formed one of the best receiving trios in the country, helping freshman Jameis Winston become the third Florida State quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy.
After going more than a decade without having a 1,000-yard receiver, both Greene and Benjamin eclipsed that mark in 2013. Greene led Florida State in receiving for a third straight season while Benjamin topped the ACC in touchdown grabs. With Shaw graduating and Benjamin declaring early for the NFL Draft, Haggins could become a critical part of the receiving corps in 2014.
While senior Rashad Greene will have a shot at becoming Florida State’s all-time leading receiver, other returning wide receivers for Florida State combined for just 23 catches a season ago. Florida State brought in some very talented freshmen at the receiver position in Ermon Lane, Travis Rudolph and Javon Harrison, who hails from Haggins’ hometown of Lakeland, but the lack of experience is something that Haggins could make up for.
Aside from Rashad Greene, Christian Green is the only Florida State receiver with more than a year of experience and Green is coming off of a sub-par year, notching just 13 catches. Despite an unfortunate knee injury prior to 2013, a healthy Haggins could put together a career-year as a senior in 2014.
For senior tight end Kevin Haplea, stability has hardly been the story of his career. Haplea transferred to Tallahassee from Penn State amidst the saga surrounding former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, which ultimately led to the firing of legendary head coach Joe Paterno and major sanctions from the NCAA. After catching three passes — one for a touchdown — for the Seminoles in 2012, a knee injury sidelined Haplea for all of 2013.
Though Haplea was unlikely to be a major contributor for head coach Jimbo Fisher’s offense, he would have provided some much needed depth at the tight end position. While starter Nick O’Leary put forward an All-ACC campaign and has become arguably the best Seminole ever to play the position, FSU had no experience whatsoever behind him in 2013. Haplea’s injury along with the transfer of Christo Kourtzidis forced Florida State to move defensive end Giorgio Newberry to the position.
Used mostly as a blocker, Newberry failed to record a single catch last season and has since, moved back to the defensive side of the ball. O’Leary will certainly get the majority of the reps this season, but having experience and a true tight end in Haplea as the team’s number two, should help matters.
Also returning from injury from the skill positions is redshirt sophomore running back Mario Pender. After being ruled academically ineligible as a freshman, Pender missed 2013 with a severe groin injury.
With Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr. each declaring for the NFL Draft after their junior years, converted safety and world-class athlete Karlos Williams will be the headliner at tailback for the Seminoles this season. With highly touted Dalvin Cook incoming and Ryan Green returning as a more experienced back, Pender will have to make the most of his touches in 2014.
As it once did for Pender, the Florida State fan base is itching to see the freshman Cook in action. With two years lost to injury and academics, Pender has become a somewhat forgotten man in the FSU backfield. Pender however, has the tools to be a complete back and has been a part of the program longer than both Green and Cook. If Pender can prove that he is committed, he could serve as a real weapon behind Williams for the Seminoles this year.
After tying for the team lead in interceptions in 2012, Tyler Hunter was off to a stellar start in 2013. Upon moving from cornerback to safety, Hunter recorded eight tackles and a pick in three games before suffering a season-ending neck injury against Bethune-Cookman on September 21st.
While the secondary is likely Florida State’s most talented contingent on the defensive side of the ball, an overly experienced one it is not. With Lamarcus Joyner and Terrence Brooks both gone, Hunter will become the veteran of that unit.
Though juniors P.J. Williams, Ronald Darby and sophomore Jalen Ramsey will garner their fair share of media attention, Hunter’s ability to make plays, experience and versatility could prove invaluable as the Seminoles pursue a third straight ACC title and second consecutive national championship.
Linebacker Matthew Thomas also returns for Florida State on the defensive side of the ball. A 5-star recruit out of South Florida, Thomas initially wanted out of his commitment to FSU before finding his way into the rotation. Thomas recorded four tackles and a sack in four games for the Seminoles last season before a shoulder injury sidelined him in September. With two-thirds of the starters at linebacker gone, the redshirt freshman Thomas will see plenty of the field in 2014.
Although 2013 was a great year for Florida State football, it was bittersweet for several players unable to help their team on the field. Last season may have been lost for guys like Jarred Haggins and Tyler Hunter, but 2014 will provide an opportunity to help Florida State chase back-to-back national championships — something no Florida or ACC school has ever done on the gridiron. While serious injuries are never easy to come back from, full recoveries could be necessary to provide depth and leadership for Florida State at key positions. | positive |

flickr / Images_of_Money According to Reuters:
Bank of China, a big market-maker in China's onshore foreign exchange market, has stopped foreign exchange forwards and swaps trading with several European banks due to the unfolding debt crisis in Europe, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
The European banks include French lenders Societe Generale, Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), and Bank of China halted trading with them partly because of the downgrading from Moody's, the sources said.
Another Chinese bank said it had stopped trading yuan interest rate swaps with European banks.
According to one source, "Apart from spot trading, all swaps and forwards trading (with the European banks) have been stopped."
Reuters was unable to reach SocGen, Credit Agricole, or BNP for comment. | positive |

The Russian television network RT is reporting that Russian President Vladimir Putin says NSA leaker Edward Snowden can stay in Russia, if he wants to, but only if he stops activities aimed against the United States.
UPDATE
Reuters reports:
President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that Russia would not hand former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden over to the United States but that if Snowden wants to stay in Russia he "must stop his work aimed at harming our American partners".[...]He said Snowden should choose his final destination and go there.
Since all indications are that Glenn Greenwald already has the raw data from Snowden that he needs to publish further disclosures, it is not clear what Putin is doing here. It is not going to stop Greenwald. | positive |
Youth Sunday school teacher indicted on child pornography charges Copyright by WJHL - All rights reserved Video
MT. CARMEL, TN (WJHL) - A youth Sunday school teacher at a church in Hawkins County has been indicted on child pornography charges.
In an indictment from the U.S. District Court in Greeneville, it says Mark Curtis Adams used the app "Kik" to communicate with a child under the age of 18.
We are told Adams was a deacon and youth Sunday school teacher at Oak Grove Baptist church in Mt. Carmel.
The indictment says Adams used the app to knowingly persuade, induce, entice or coerce the child for sexual activity.
The Grand Jury indicted Adams on May 30, but that indictment was sealed until Tuesday.
Adams is charged with enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity and production of child pornography.
The indictment says for at least a month prior to May 30, Adams asked for sexually explicit pictures from a minor.
News Channel 11 reached out to Oak Grove Baptist Church, it told us quote:
"The Oak Grove Baptist Church is aware of the recently filed charges and arrest of Mr. Mark Adams, a deacon in our church. Members of the church leadership have met with authorities to ensure our understanding of the charges and any possible impact on our church community. We intend to fully cooperate with investigators as they continue their investigation. It is important to note, at this time, there is no indication that any member of our church community has been victimized by Mr. Adams."
Adams is scheduled to be arraigned on June 19 at 1:30 p.m.

A new report reveals that President Obama is throwing the weight of the federal government behind a program to secure summer jobs for hundreds of “refugees” brought into the U.S. by the President’s refugee program guided by the United Nations.
The President has unveiled a program he is calling the Summer Opportunity Project, insisting, “Access to a job in the summer and beyond can make all the difference to a young person–especially those who don’t have access to many resources and opportunities.”
Obama is providing $21 million in tax dollars for the program to help American youth find work for the summer, but along with finding jobs for Americans, $2 million of the funds are being earmarked for about 400 “refugees” currently situated in New York.
According to Syracuse.com, the money will be spent to aid the refugees to gain work experience by offering academic tutoring in English and math, as well as finding them part-time jobs.
Obama has done this before, of course. In 2012, the President’s jobs program helped illegals compete with Americans for scare job opportunities.
Further, by 2014 it was discovered that Obamacare offered U.S. firms a $3,000 incentive to hire illegals over Americans.
Last year, it was discovered that Obama was bringing refugees into every state in the country but refusing to tell state governors where he was placing them all.
Meanwhile, a recent report found that many of these refugees Obama is bringing into the country are racked with diseases, especially tuberculosis.
Obama is not working alone on the refugee program. The United Nations is actually the chief agency helping him bring these refugees into the U.S. under the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

The World of Western RPGs
Introduction
This article is a sequel of sorts to the previous RPG article, by Oleg Roschin, which covered the Asian RPGs.
In this article I try to paint a picture of the evolution of Western RPGs, using only a handful of games, which I describe in some detail to see what game introduced what to the genre. If you are for some reason a hardcore fan of some obscure title from the 80's that was made by a poor, blind, black kid from Oklahoma, a game so innovative that it had Porcs instead of Orcs, and that poor blind, black kid then died in poverty all alone and forgotten, with only two copies of his game known to exist, you will hate this article.
Lame attempts at jokes aside, it was not my goal to write the most detailed RPG article out there. Rather think of it as a self-help book: "Things that you need to know about RPGs when surrounded by evil nerds intent on defending their knowledge with a 20-sided dice."
But first – what is an RPG? Well to be honest, RPG is a fuzzy term - like immersion, next-gen or mature - that can be used to describe almost anything. In almost any game, players take on a role. There is a lot of confusion surrounding the term, to the point where some people out there believe Halo 3 is an RPG. It is just that throughout the history of RPGs, a wide variety of different games (different on a fundamental level) have used the term. This is also actually something that differentiates Japanese RPGs and Western RPGs for me. Maybe I am blind but Japanese RPGs usually are rather similar – compare any recent JRPG like Lost Odyssey to the first Dragon Quest and you will probably see more similarities that differences – while with Western RPGs you have dungeon crawlers, story RPGs and simulated worlds that all are fundamentally different from each other.
Take any Bethesda or any BioWare game and it is clear that these two major developers of today's WRPG world offer something strikingly different – the first one concentrates on exploration in open-ended worlds while the other presents epic stories with good and evil choices. And so it has been since the early days.
As I said, I am going to paint my picture of the evolution of RPGs, meaning that I will generalize and subjectively select facts (though I will mention when I am about to deny the existence of something) and the point of this article is really to help the reader acquire knowledge on the history of the genre. But what made me pick these particular games? Especially considering that the term "RPG" is so fuzzy that it could mean anything. Well, I speak with the dead. So stop asking stupid questions.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai Prime Minister General Prayuth Chan-ocha told European investors on Wednesday that he was not a dictator and that his government was seeking to create a Thailand that would be more attractive for their long-term investments.

Prayuth was appointed prime minister on Monday after he was elected by a rubber-stamp parliament he hand-picked.
The army chief seized power in a bloodless coup on May 22 following six months of sometimes deadly protests that helped oust elected Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. The military said intervention was necessary to avoid further bloodshed.
Prayuth met representatives from the Thai-European Business Association (TEBA), a group representing 80 Thai and European investors including automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical and logistics firms, telling them he was prepared to do “everything” to ensure Thailand remains a hub for foreign investors.
“I am prepared to do everything. Just show me your investment roadmap,” he said
Prayuth, 60, who is also Thailand’s army chief, said the country needs time to deal with its political transition.
“We are not dictators that just order whatever,” Prayuth said during the meeting at the army’s Bangkok headquarters, the first between the junta leader and foreign investors following his appointment as premier.
“We listen to many civilian advisors. I ask you and the European Union to give us some time to deal with our problems.”
The United States and European Union (EU) both downgraded diplomatic ties with Thailand following the coup. The EU, Thailand’s third largest trade partner and its second biggest investor, has suspended visits and trade talks.
‘NOT CRUEL’
Critics have accused Prayuth of ruling with an iron fist and say his appointment as premier gives the country only a veneer of democracy while power remains firmly in the military’s hands.
Any public dissent against the takeover was repressed by the army, protests soon fizzled out and hundreds of dissenters were detained by the military, some at undisclosed locations.
At Wednesday’s meeting, Prayuth dismissed allegations of abuse in military custody.
“In case you have heard distorted information that we have treated people badly, it is not true. Just look at my face. I am not a cruel person.”
Thailand’s economy, which narrowly avoided a technical recession in the second quarter this year, is struggling to get back on its feet after months of sometimes violent street demonstrations that left nearly 30 people dead.
A regional hub and export base for global automakers, Thailand is looking to revive domestic consumption and investment following months of political turmoil that have tested its “Teflon Thailand” moniker.
WEAK EXPORTS
Exports, equal to more than 60 percent of the economy, remain weak. Earlier on Wednesday, the Commerce Ministry reported that exports unexpectedly fell 0.85 percent in July from a year earlier.
Prayuth has outlined a year-long roadmap including national reforms, an interim government and elections in 2015.
Cabinet members are expected to be chosen by September.
“When we have a fully-functioning government we plan to visit our counterparts and plan to promote investment in Thailand abroad,” Prayuth said during Wednesday’s meeting.

“Except in places where I am not welcome,” he quipped.
TEBA, which has no links to the European Union, told Prayuth its members were not interested in politics.
“Members do not want to get involved in politics. We want to talk to you about investments and obstacles in Thailand and how we can help Thailand to develop technology,” executive director Hugh Vanijprabha said. | positive |

Scottish households throw away the equivalent of 26 million beefburgers a year, according to food waste campaigners.
Zero Waste Scotland said the total value of meat and fish discarded annually was about £190m.
The group estimates reducing food waste could save every household £460 a year.
It has joined forces with an Ayrshire-based butchers chain in promoting leftover recipes and tips to encourage people to discard less food.
Zero Waste Scotland said research carried out for the sustainable economy group WRAP revealed the extent and value of wasted food:
2,900 tonnes of beef alone discarded annually
22,000 tonnes of beef, lamb, poultry and pork thrown away each year, worth £140m
£5m worth of food wasted because it is not used in time
Ylva Haglund, food waste campaign manager for Zero Waste Scotland, said: "Our research has shown that despite our love of beef in Scotland, we still throw away millions of pounds worth every year, with an equivalent weight to 26 million burgers, or the weight of 13 million steaks."
Carlyn Paton, joint founder of the butchers chain We Hae Meat, which helped compile the leftover recipes, said: "There are also lots of way to make it go further through using up leftovers, utilising unused portions in a wide range of recipes or freezing it for future use, so there's no real excuse for wasting it if you have some that hasn't been used up."
Waste targets
The Scottish government this month announced a new target to reduce food waste by 33% by 2025.
Jim McLaren, chairman of Quality Meat Scotland (QMS), said initiatives which encourage people to make the most of quality meat and reduce food waste "made total sense".
"QMS has been promoting the use of leftover beef, lamb and pork for more than a decade and the 300 members of our Scotch Butchers Club all use our leftover campaign information and recipes to encourage their customers to make the most of meat," he added.
Zero Waste Scotland is funded by the Scottish government to promote its Zero Waste Plan. | positive |

This article by Dr. Ann Keilkamp came out today and I was drawn to post it here. It’s a written overview of yesterday’s Bill Wood and Eva Lee YouTube message (see also MP3s post here. I felt this was well put together, and summarizes many of the key points in Bill and Eva’s presentation.

Is the real Obama about to stand up?
by 9:26 am, May 7, 2012
Please watch or listen to this series of videos that I found at kauilapele.org [kauilapele.wordpress.com] at 3:30 A.M this morning:
Mass arrests — New Information with Bill Wood and Eva Moore
If Bill Brockbader (aka Wood) is right, then President Obama has been with us all along, and has had to pretend not to be in order to get the information required to build the massive and complex enterprise necessary to take down the cabal, starting with Keener’s liens against the Fed and the coming mass arrests.
If Brockbader is right, then NDAA and other presidential signing orders, including the most recent, returning the U.S. to International Law, are all to prepare the way legally for these mass arrests.
If Brockbader is right, then Obama had no idea, when he entered the presidency, that it would take so long to bring “hope” to America and the peoples of the world, and so has had to withstand not only the continuous pushback of both houses of Congress, but the vilification of most of those who “believed” in him as well as the massive p.r. cabal campaign to discredit him through hired internet nay-sayers and owned-and-operated mainstream media.
If Brockbader is right, and all of this is information new to him as well, then the first signal Obama sent to the cabal of his intentions was the sex scandal of the Secret Service in Columbia that was used to eliminate some of them from “protecting” him since they were part of the problem. “Sex scandal,” is of course, a sure-fire cover story that the American people can understand and get behind.
If Brockbader is right, then the next signals will be given at the NATO and G8 meetings this month.
If Brockbader is right, then Mathew and Salusa, other channeled messengers, and Steve Beckow have been right all along: Obama is a good guy, and protected from harm by powers beyond what the cabal can muster up.
Please listen or watch this entire series, and if you find Brockbader as compelling as I do, then spread the word. Quickly. When the mass arrests begin, it will be crucial that enough of us know what their real meaning is to offset the massive disinfo campaign that will follow, screaming that it is the NWO descending and therefore we should grab our guns and run into the streets.
Listen up! The military and police will be helping to keep the peace as this massive historic undertaking to cleanse this planet and civilization of what has just about destroyed it is initiated.
The plan is for utilities to remain connected and on. Distribution lines will be protected, though there may be some temporary stoppage.
Important to have food, water, toilet paper, etc., full gas tanks, and extra food and water for others who will need it, if possible.
If Brockbader is right, then within a day or two, TV will be returned to real journalism, and massive education will begin, of the real history of the U.S. and the world, including 9/11, the Kennedy and other assassinations, etc. The public is bound to go into shock as its thoroughly brainwashed world-view is dismantled.
We need to be prepared to stand up and speak the truth to naysayers; prepared to stay centered, and in equanimity, so that we can help hold the frequency field of love that we have been training for, and that we triggered for good on May 5, with the global meditation on the Super Full Moon.
The entire operation, according to Brockbader and Drake, during which banks will be closed, will take the financial system down to zero, and start it up again under a completely new basis, of equity, rather than debt. The bad guys will have been defeated and the human race freed.
This global operation appears to “get the green light” some time this month? Not sure about that. It seems so. Or June.
I listened to most of Drake’s new message as well, and then went back to sleep. Drake, when asked about Obama’s intentions, said, cryptically, “he might be a switcheroo” — and I have no idea what that meant. He did not elaborate. I don’t think he has the info that has just come through Brockbader.
When asked whether we have the technology to clean up Fukushima, Drake said that yes, we do. “It comes with one word, ‘Disclosure.’” (Of ETs.) Another revelation sure to put many people into shock and awe, given nearly 70 years of constant subliminal cultural conditioning to view ETs/EDs as “alien.”
Of interest to me in this context, Veterans Today editor Gordon Duff ‘s recent piece in which he wondered whether Obama was a white hat posing as a black hat in order to take down the cabal. His indicator was the recent signing that returned the U.S. to international law: Obama rejoins ICC — US no longer rogue state.

Officer Reginald J. "Jake" Gutierrez was shot to death Wednesday night. He had been with the department for 17 years. (Photo: Tacoma Police Department)
TACOMA, Wash. (KOMO) - A veteran police officer who died after responding to a domestic disturbance in Tacoma on Wednesday was a veteran of the Tacoma department and a model policeman, officials said.
The officer was identified Thursday as Reginald J. Gutierrez. He died after being shot several times.
The suspected gunman, 38, was shot and killed by authorities about 3:30 a.m. Thursday after barricading himself inside a home with a rifle. He refused to come out despite the efforts of police negotiators.
Pierce County Deputy Ed Troyer said the suspect used two children as human shields. The kids, a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, were taken from the scene unharmed and evaluated at the hospital.
A Pierce County SWAT deputy shot the suspect while one of the children was still with him, Troyer said. The suspect had multiple weapons in the house.
The suspect's name is Bruce Johnson, Loretta Cool, spokeswoman for the Tacoma Police Department, said.
He worked at Sam & Terry's Barbershop in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood. Johnson went by the nickname "Zeus."
A colleague said Thursday that Johnson was opinionated and said he'd never be a "victim."
Police Chief Donald Ramsdell said the suspect has little in the way of a criminal history. But he said the gunman might have had mental health issues.
Gutierrez, 45, was pronounced dead at the hospital late Wednesday night, Cool said.
"He's a model police officer," an emotional Ramsdell said at a Thursday news conference. "He was dedicated to the profession. He demonstrated that every day he came to work."
Gutierrez, known as "Jake," had worked for Tacoma Police Department for 17 years. He had been a patrol officer his entire career and was experienced at handling domestic violence incidents, Ramsdell said.
The incident began with a report about a dog. A woman told an animal-control officer investigating the dog complaint that she had been locked out of her house.
Gutierrez and his partner were called to the house, in the 400 block of East 52nd Street on Tacoma's east side, about 4 p.m.
Police said Johnson and his wife had some sort of argument. Then he locked his wife out of the house.
Ramsdell said Gutierrez and his female partner entered the house and talked to the gunman and believed that he was going to surrender.
"Obviously, he didn't," Ramsdell said.
Johnson was upstairs. Gutierrez climbed the stairs and turned toward a hallway, Ramsdell said. Then the gunman opened up.
Gutierrez never returned fire. His partner fired several times and retreated, taking the gunman's wife with her.
It's not clear whether the officer wounded the gunman.
When police arrived, they offered to help the woman - and that's when Johnson barricaded himself in the home and fired multiple shots. Officers also formed a team and went inside the house to rescue Gutierrez.
Police made repeated attempts to talk him into surrendering, but he refused. Police also sent in the bomb unit's robot to see how many people were in the house, Ramsdell said.
Gutierrez was rushed to Tacoma General Hospital, where he died. He lived in Kitsap County.
He was a father and was engaged, Ramsdell said. Police say cards may be sent to: Gutierrez Family,? Chief Donald Ramsdell, Tacoma Police Department, 3701 S. Pine St., Tacoma, WA 98409.
A memorial fund has been established for the Gutierrez family. You can access the fund here.
"Keep your heart and prayers in for Officer Gutierrez," the chief said.
Officers from Tacoma, Fife, the State Patrol, and the Pierce County Sheriff's Office surrounded the neighborhood and the home, while a law enforcement helicopter shined a spotlight overhead.
Flashbangs and gunfire were heard as police attempted to force their way inside the home.
Kristi Croskey, who rents the home to Johnson and his wife, was inside the home at the time and barricaded herself in the bathroom before she was able to escape.
She said police showed up because Johnson was fighting with his wife and refused to let her back inside.
"They said they just wanted to talk to him and then gunfire started, they didn't start it," Croskey said.

Dozens of law enforcement officers, some in uniform and others in plain-clothes, lined up outside of Tacoma General Hospital to pay their respects to the fallen officer.
Gutierrez's body was draped with an American flag and loaded into an ambulance. A procession of police vehicles then escorted the ambulance to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
In a statement, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said he and his wife, Trudi, were sending their thoughts and prayers to the family and loved ones of the officer.
"All of Washington grieves with Tacoma, which tonight lost one of their finest. Our hearts are with the men and women of the Tacoma Police Department, their families, and their brothers and sisters in law enforcement across Washington," Inslee said.
The shooting comes a day after the seven-year anniversary of a Lakewood shooting at a Forza Coffee shop that left four officers dead.
On Thursday morning, police were in the neighborhood where the shooting occurred. Officers were collecting evidence and interviewing stunned neighbors.
The FBI and the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office are investigating the shooting.

And so it is welcome back to another episode of Star stones and stories. I'm so grateful that you're here. And so thankful for your patience in receiving this episode. A number of you have reached out to me to just check in and see how I am. And I'm really grateful to know that you're thinking of me and just really thirsty for some fresh transmissions on this astrology. I was traveling this weekend this past weekend. I'm not recording. It's Thursday, Jupiter day, right at the dark of the Aries moon. And I was working so hard to get the podcast ready before my trip and was even in my closet recording before I had to leave for the airport on Saturday morning hoping I could just finish everything. And I looked at the clock and I was like no, you've got to close your laptop and pack up and literally walk out the door. So again, thank you for your patience as an artist. Sometimes I wish I could add about seven more hours into every day. There's so much I want to create. There's so much I want to deliver to you all. And as we're all in these human bodies, these great living temples of light, there are limitations to what we're able to accomplish in any given day and This makes me think a lot about Saturn, and the Saturn influence and Saturn really working with us to master time and space. And part of that mastery is to understand what our limitations are, and how to work with them, how to nourish them, how to take really good care of them. I've been feeling this a lot because I work with Saturn very closely in my chart, and I tend to attract a lot of people who also do many of the people who come to me for private sessions via astrology, especially those who return tend to have strong Saturnian influences. And I've just found myself speaking a lot about Saturn lately. We know Saturn is in Aquarius, and I think it's an important time to honor Saturn's movement in Aquarius because a year from now Saturn will shift into Pisces. So we're coming to that final culmination of really wanting to look at what we have learned with Saturn in Aquarius, what Saturn and Aquarius is teaching us. It is a Fixed sign. So we want to think about where else we have about roughly 20 to 25 degrees in Aquarius, in Taurus, in Leo in Scorpio because those are the areas that are getting greatly impacted through the Saturn transit. Speaker: 00:06:48 I feel in traditional astrology and Vedic Astrology, Saturn gets a really bad rap. In the sense it's like, oh, you know, Saturn is just here to deliver the karma. And traditional astrology has seen Saturn as a malefic. And intense things mean, we go through many lessons with Saturn, for sure. Saturn is there to support our growth, the Saturn one size to become more attuned to our limitations, so that we can actually really thrive within them. And that is something that I've been working with more, as I've completed my Master of Arts program, and I'm restructuring how I utilize my time as a mother and as an entrepreneur, as an artist, as someone who is deeply attorney attuned to the earth, and really grateful to be alive in these times, but also feeling the immense pressure of the planet. Like I know each one of you are as well. And with that, I've just been realizing where Saturn is asking me to slow down a little more and rest more become more creative with my time by putting less in it. And therefore, at times this podcast has been part of what I've had to just surrender and say it's not going to come out exactly what I want it to. And that's okay too. So here we are in this beautiful, beautiful human experience. And one of the themes I would really like to explore with you is this Vesica Pisces. On this great sacred geometry. We have definitely explored this in prior episodes. I've been thinking about it a lot and I spoke about it in multiplying miracles, which was an amazing workshop that we co created at the pillar of life my friend Ashley's studio and St. Petersburg, Florida. If you ever find yourself passing through St. Petersburg, please check out pillar of light and see what kind of offerings are available. It is such an amazing healing a true true healing temple. And I have another friend who's the owner of a number of dough bruh T is here in Asheville, North Carolina. Drew and he is opening dough bra in St. Petersburg it should hopefully be available for Were you all to enjoy and imbibe on some amazing teas and food in by the fall of this year 2022. So I just want to give my friends down there, my crew down there shout out. And it was so amazing for me to take some time to go down to Florida, you may not know much about my own story, and part of that is, is that I've moved my entire life about every three and a half years, up until I had graduated, college or entered college. And so growing up, I would get comfortable in a community and then we would have to move because of my father's work. And with that, Florida has really been an anchor for me in my life. My grandparents moved to there. When I was the age of four, and I had many other family members move and settle there, and my father lives there, and my grandmother currently lives there as well. And so I was able to see family. And it's also I graduated high school from the Tampa Bay area. So it's just really an anchor for me. And it was so powerful to be able to travel down there and share a workshop that wove yoga and meditation and sound healing and astrology. Speaker: 00:11:45 I kind of felt like my coming out because when I was living in Florida as a tween, and a teenager, I was I never felt safe and revealing these parts of myself. And now I'm able to fully be who I am. And so there was a there was a really great healing that happened for me on so many different levels and layers. And I speak to this because this is part of what is coming and what is available with this Aries New Moon. And I also speak to it because as I mentioned that Vesica Pisces, right and many of you know, I am a priestess of Avalon I've been very connected to Avalon for many, many many years, been traveling there regularly since 2003. And it was my first journey to Glastonbury that truly initiated me into in this body really feeling frequency and portals of energy. And throughout the mysticism of Avalon, you will find reference to the Vesica Pisces. And I feel like the symbol of sacred geometry is so important for these times. Because it speaks to where we are as humanity. We're really living in this Yoni space this portal between these two worlds. And with the Vesica Pisces, which you'll see as the cover art for this episode, so if you're not clear on what it is check that out. Sometimes iTunes doesn't accept my cover art, I'm not really clear why it might be that the file is too big. But if you go to Spotify, or to my podcast, website, website, Star stones and stories.com You'll see the cover art there. And the Vesica Pisces you have these two rings, and then they intersect in the middle making this unique shape. And this is really where we are on earth right now. We are witnessing the death of old paradigms and old ways of living and navigating as humans. While simultaneously architecting this new earth, this new way of living as humanity, a way that this earth has never seen. And I speak about this with my podcast and many of my other offerings is this ancient future weaving. And it's ancient in the sense that we're really honoring the Greek elemental mothers in the forces of creation, and the timeless wisdom that the ancient indigenous cultures all across Earth have agreed on as being significant and important. And also, as we're honoring tradition, we're also looking to incur in future concepts, to be fresh to be innovative, and to respect tradition, but also to not be bound by old traditions that do not serve that do not serve large populations, or even small populations of humanity. Because the Age of Aquarius is about service. It is about brotherhood sisterhood, that altruistic love. And as the Age of Aquarius is governed by Uranus, it is so much about that Uranian force that electric outside of the box, innovative new wave ways of living life and living and creativity. And so, as we set at the intersection between the two worlds between the two Earths Speaker: 00:16:30 it is a potent, potent position to sit within. And it makes me think of the the tradition, the lineage of the ancient Yogi's, because it is like this is what this lineage has been preparing for, through time and space. To be able to sit with the discomfort and the distortions, and the challenges of life is true practice. And this is absolutely what the midwife does, right midwife with a woman with the midwife does, at birth and at death, we could insert any human into woman right, but I use the term midwife because for one, I consider myself a consciousness of midwife of consciousness. As someone who has really worked extensively within the birth realm, and has also been initiated through death realms. Birth and death are one in the same. And this is something I'm really passionate about. And I plan to explore much deeper with you all in future podcasts, because birth and death are about going through portals, going through gateways, going through doorways, and how we come onto this planet, how we're received through the moment of our birth, and how we exit this planet. How we are blessed are not the moment of our death. These moments matter so incredibly much. And they have been intrinsically hijacked by the over culture systematically hijacked by the over culture. And I can say that without a doubt, having lived in the United States, and witnessed this country that supposedly is one of the superpowers of the global community, but has horrible rates for infants and mothers, newborns and mothers at birth, and has a crumbling system with how to care for elders. And I've witnessed it firsthand. On both ends, the birth realm and the death realm, how we do birth and how we do Beth, how we do death is says a lot about our culture at large, and how we are currently do them. It's atrocious, it's literally atrocious. And this is the system that's sort of being modeled and being spread throughout the world into other medical systems. So it's a true problem. And that's All for another podcast episode a number of them to be exact. However, for now, we want to stay with that symbol the Vesica Pisces, and that intersection between the two worlds. Because we are sitting, we are sitting in that sacred liminal space of something dying and something being born. And many people are uncomfortable with that in between space because it is uncomfortable, it is a void, and it is an unknown. And when you're in a void, it's almost as if all of your senses have been taken away from you. And the sensation of time has been taken away from you. And the logic of knowing what will come next is not available. Speaker: 00:21:04 And many of us have a tendency, where we kind of just want to like go into the new thing, right, we don't really want to honor the death process because it can feel really hard to offer honor the death process, it brings up a lot of grief. It brings up anger, it brings up loss and fear and shame and disappointment, disappointment about what went wrong and what didn't come to fruition. And then a lot of us also maybe afraid to create something new because you you're kind of going out into the frontier. And so there can be this desire to cling to the past, to cling to what's familiar to not want to let go of that which is dying. So we're here at this intersection between the two worlds and where we're in a long game or going the distance. We're in a deeply powerful, potent cauldron of transformation as a collective of humans on Earth right now, regardless of what country we live in, and what we do in our day to day, we're all feeling this collectively, I can say that without a doubt, as an astrologer, as someone who's tracked, mundane astrology, these long, sweeping cycles. So it's very potent. It's a very potent time. And as this past Sunday, on the 27th of March, we've had mercury, enter Aries, which I think for many of us is really beneficial, because it gives us the ability to speak more of of where we are. But we can also be like really rash. And we can say more than we mean. And we can be stubborn and we can be headstrong with it. So we want to be cautious because we are getting into astrology that can feel a little more volatile as that Aries influences coming on more and more. And as we move through this upcoming Aries New Moon we're preparing for the Jupiter Neptune conjunction in the middle of April. And soon after that the Libra Full Moon. And before you know it, it is the Belton ah, eclipse season. This month of April, we have a new moon that opens the month and a new moon that closes the month. And the Aries New Moon always brings in the birth of the Zodiacal wheel. So there's this turning of the wheel. And this particular Aries New Moon is opening up like a two and a half year cycle. So what we're creating now we're going to be living with for some time. So we want to be really intentional about that. And we want to also remember that we're in the intersection between these two worlds. And how do I go the distance? That's the question for you to ask yourself when you're preparing for this new moon and you're thinking about the intentions you want to be writing. It's like how do I go the distance with this astrology? How do I pace myself? Where do I want To be in five years and 10 years. And I know for many of us, we can sense through our intuition that the world is going to be vastly different in 10 years. So it's like, well, how do I even plan for 10 years from now? You plan in the sense of really sinking into your body and asking yourself like, what do I want my life to feel like? Like, what are my daily rhythms like, and you really anchor into that. So this Aries New Moon is potent, it is fiery, it is hot. And as we're at this dark moon phase, it's an opportunity to really go within and see where we need to Speaker: 00:25:53 balance that shadow energy of fire. And the New Moon is exact on in Eastern Daylight Time, on the first of April at 2:24am. So for some people around the world, it'll be March 30, somewhere late at night. And at this new moon, as with every new moon, we have the sun and the moon meet up together, they marry they merge, and it's 11 degrees 30 arc minutes, Aries and they are married. They're conjunct Mercury and Chiron. Mercury is at nine degrees 44 arc minutes Aries and Chiron is at 12 degrees 18 arc minutes Aries. We also have Pallas Athene, who is also technically conjunct the Sun and Moon at 17 degrees 40 arc minutes, Aries and Eris at 24 degrees 11 arguments Aries. So Mercury being the messenger of how we communicate how we move through the five senses, how we speak, how we write, how we are thinking, our expressing ourselves how we're receiving others. So there's a lot more passion and creativity, which ultimately I think is great because Mercury in pisces is can be very challenged, it can be very liminal. So it can be hard to get the words out. Whereas Aries in mercury and Aries just kind of like blurt it all out, and then be like, Wow, did I just say that. So there's a lot more instinct with our speech. And there's an ability to take more initiation as well. And this new moon is deeply influenced by how we're thinking how we're speaking, what we're seeing, but also our, our healing potential. Because we have Chiron as that Maverick healer, very, very close to the sun and moon, and Chiron connects to some of our, our greatest core wounds. As children. A lot of times they come in, in our actual womb life. So before we're even born, we're very conscious when we're in the womb, we hear everything. We feel what our mother feels, all of the experiences our mother has, if if she goes through fear and adrenaline runs through her body that washes through our body. We can get a sense of just how the world works. But it's like through her perspective, her consciousness and this is why we're so deeply tied to our mothers. And it is why that that mother wound for many can be that first real intense wound and quite often the most unconscious wound as well, because it's just kind of always been there in in this incarnation. So it's it's deep, and it's potent. And I believe with this Aries New Moon there's a lot available for for those who are on a conscious healing journey to peel back some particular layers and really dive in and expand, expand through the body, expand the cells of your being, to see yourself at that intersection between the two worlds, and to really bless to bless whatever intensity you were born into, and your family of origin to bless it, because I do believe that we're here to really heal an uplift and elevate that generational trauma. Speaker: 00:30:42 And that those of us who are in body right now came to the earth, in this wave of people to do that particular work. And when I say elevate it, I mean, truly elevate it, like, we go through the layers of the healing process, which means that there are definite moments of feeling the anger and the rage, and the disappointment, and the pain and the sorrow and the grief. And then, as we move through that, we come into a place of great, great compassion, compassion for our lineage, compassion for what was passed down, and how it got distorted over time and space, and what happens through those distortions. Because compassion is such an integral element into this Age of Aquarius. And it is so necessary, especially especially right now, every single person on the planet is going through something really deep, really intense, and it is mighty. And I think every single one of us has felt at some point within the last two and a half years that we've hit our wall that we're like, okay, if I had an eject button, and I could eject myself out of this human experience, and you know, go back to my star seed origin, or whatever astronomical body you're from, and time and space, you know, and be like, alright, I hit that button. And that is part of what it means to sit in between these two worlds. So it is how do we sit with that discomfort, even the reality that if we had the eject button, probably at least 75% of us would have pushed it. Right? says a lot about where we are in these times. So this New Moon conjunct Chiron is asking us to be that courageous warrior, and to really be willing to go into these deep, deep spaces. And as I'm recording this, I just want to say I can So understand, I always get it like when, when I have an episode that is coming out late later than my own and you know, a self imposed deadline of every other Friday. There's always a reason and there's there's always something that needed to come through at a later date that just wasn't available. And when I was originally recording, this Mercury was still in Pisces, and what I recorded, because I always have I have like my notes that I prepare around the astrology. And then there's a theme that that I know wants to come through in that particular podcast episode. But I'm honestly really riffing on it. I don't have like a whole thing typed out. I have notes that keep me anchored into the astrology but the other flows come through naturally and I just allow them to come through just like I would, when I'm sitting one on one with a client and an astrology reading or when I'm sitting in front of a group of people facilitating a class of some kind of a yogic journey, or even a pilgrimage. It's so much about how do we be present and prepared? And I think that that is a skill that we're being asked to develop more and more in this Aquarian Age. And we see that through the rise of social media and how everything's evolving and changing in the blink of an eye. Pallas Athene, she is the goddess of the high mind. So where she is she's very mentally creative and conjunct Chiron and Eris. Pallas Athena is working with these two beings to bring in justice, to bring in deep mental creativity to bring in out of the box ideas that are really ready, but that we might be kind of scared to take the leap on. Speaker: 00:35:39 And this new moon wants to help us. And we know Eris and Aries as definitely, you know, she can get volatile, she's a disrupter. And she wants the truth to emerge regardless of what the consequences are. So we want to utilize that warrior frequency, but we also want to use it with care. We want to circle deep into the heart of Chiron and really use that timeless healing energy in our lives. Now. Aries is the I Am Presence, it emerges as the first sign of the zodiac. Each Aries New Moon initiates the birth of the Zodiacal wheel. What we create with this new Moon brings us all the way through the Pisces season of 2023. The archetype of Aries is the RAM. So we are in a season of going into our leadership have been pioneers, risk takers, to really use dynamic oriented action, to be fearless to call forth greater adventure in our life, to be ambitious, to be independent, while also developing that self awareness to know who am I why am I here? What is my purpose? How am I meant to express myself? What is my identity? How do I want people to receive me when I walk into a room? What is the energy I'm emitting. And so this Cardinal energy, it's very initiatory. It's proactive, it's decisive. It is spiritual and creative as as it is calling for that element of fire, and ruled by Mars. And remember, we're in the Dagara year of fire. This is the year of ancestors, this is the year of harnessing the primal force to call forth that which we need. As this is the beginning of the news, a diagonal year in this year of the ancestors, I really encourage you to work strongly with your ancestors with this Aries New Moon, we're in that fire element. And even when you do something as simple as light a candle, you have invoked the ancestral space, especially if you're really intentional about it. And I believe, you know, if you're a listener, an avid listener of the show, you know that like I record my episodes here, like literally at the feet of my ancestral altar. And I'm just so grateful for these teachings that I've received from many different teachers. But I really want to honor elder melodrama. Somi, who brought the Dagara wisdom to the west, and has also kindled within each of our hearts, each one of us who has been touched by his teachings, and the power and the potency of carrying that indigenous wisdom, each one of us we have indigenous wisdom that runs through our Bloods, our blood in our veins and is in the bones of our body. And part of what we're being called for in these times is to awaken reawaken that connection that portal. Speaker: 00:39:41 And I say this is at a time where in a few days, a number of us will be gathering to honor the passing of elder malah DOMA to the other world. It'll be a beautiful ceremony. To honor his death, and I am just so incredibly grateful for his teachings he has impacted me in ways that I knew when he was alive. But I feel even more now that he's no longer with us in the physical. And that is, I think, part of our ability, as we tune in more to the sacred elements, and to our own deep practices, the other world becomes more and more alive for us when we are in this human world. And that is another way we can relate to the Vesica Pisces. And that intersection between worlds could also be seen as this world, on the other world, and what happens when we collaborate consciously with the other world. So may you may you collaborate consciously with the other world in this new moon. Because this is the beginning of a new year. We are in the northern hemisphere in that season of spring and is a time of hope, and promise and light and love, and also a time of sacrifice, we must use our intelligence, the kinetic force of our body, the strength of our body. And we're reminded to never give power over to another authority. And I believe that this is a huge part of Saturn's teachings as well is to really learn how to be the author, the authority, the leader of your own life. Many people would recommend different stones to work with for the Aries New Moon. And I'm actually going to recommend that if you're drawn to to work with amethyst, I think Amethyst is a beautiful stone because Amethyst balances the left and right hemispheres of the brain. And Aries rules the head and Amethyst is very cooling. But it also as it is purple in color. Most often, you can find pink amethyst, it has that red and that blue coming together. So it's very cooling. And Amethyst is a grandmother stone. She's a lineage stone. She's not like hematite, which I work with quite extensively. Amethyst connects into another grand mother portal. And we want to be really wise with this new moon, right, we want to be attuned with our ancestors. So this new moon is ruled by Mars, and Mars is a planet of action and war and aggression. And we're definitely seeing more aggression in the world at large. And I think as we're going through our day to day, it's important to have compassion for all beings on the planet. Most importantly, to have compassion for ourselves, and to take really good care of ourselves. Aries season is always a time to come back to your own personal identity and to check in with yourself and to really nourish who you are. Right now with this new moon Mars is an Aquarius, leaving the marriage with Venus and Aquarius and Mars is conjunct Saturn, Juno and Venus so they're all in this conjunction with also Vesta and Aquarius, we have this stellium in Aquarius with this new moon, which is bringing in a lot of innovation, but also showing us where things feel tight where they feel restricted where they feel tense. There, you know, Aries is or sorry, Aquarius is a Fixed sign. So it's like Speaker: 00:44:39 sometimes we're holding on a little too much. And we are also seen what the dark side of the Aquarian Age can look like. With the rise of the whole technocracy and the gap between economic differences just widening like this vast ocean. And it can feel like quite a lot, because we know how technology is already like fully in our lives as humanity. And we also can understand how many corporations have now gained much power over governments. And so, so much feels like it's out of the hands of humanity. And this is also part of sitting in that space, that intersection between two worlds, because hope is not lost, and the power is ours. However, the actions we take in the world today will greatly greatly impact the future generations. And as we're here to elevate, and transform, lineage, trauma, part of that work is to be as conscious as we can to keep it, keep it clear and clean, keep the containers clear and clean, so that we are intentionally holding a space to heal trauma and not create new layers of trauma. And that's a whole philosophical debate we could get into because perhaps that's just what we do as humans layer upon layer upon layer. However, I'm not convinced and I would imagine you may not be either because you listen to star stones and stories. So as this new moon is ruled by Mars, and as Mars is in Aquarius conjunct Saturn, when I cast this chart, for the East Coast of the US, we have Saturn ruling the chart with a Capricorn rising, many of the planets for the new moon are all consolidated. In the lower portion, meaning that they are really, this can be a really deep New Moon to go within, to ask yourself, Who am I? How do I appear in the world? What is my self worth? What do my self love self care practices look like? How do I manage my time? How do I manage my resources? How do I face my responsibilities? How do I manage my money and my possessions? How do I tend to the land to Mother Earth? How do I care for her resources? How do I share and teach this to others in my daily life, and my local community? Speaker: 00:48:23 There's a lot that is available through this new moon. And I would say whatever of those topics that really stood out for you. Ask yourself what needs to be healed around these considerations, and that is the Chiron work there. So the Sabian symbol for 11 degrees 30 arc minutes Aries is a triangular Lee shaped flight of geese. This is about an idealistic reliance upon a mental image of universal order. The flight of geese is geometric, and it is seasonal and attuned to the planetary rhythms. There's a cosmic order at hand, a celestial order a soul consciousness evolution. The star Sparks is an old woman hears the stars talking to her at night. The stars are almost seen. I was here before you were born. I am the witnessing one. The silent wanton, the Silent Voice. I keep the beat. I'm keeping a sharp watch for the New Earth. I emit a resonance of frequency. Therefore, the truth is with this Aries New Moon, you have an ability to energize life through your spontaneous good nature. May you use your wings to gain a fresh perspective May you use whatever minerals you're called to, to assist with shape shifting through the realms to connect to higher dimensions, to pull forth the vision for that which you're creating, for definitely the next two and a half years, but perhaps even five and 10. And with that, take this affirmation. I remain light hearted in all situations due to my higher awareness. Because Chiron is conjunct the Sun and Moon with this Aries New Moon, and we've been journeying through Chiron in Aries. Since 2018. I feel it is time that we revisit Chiron as the mantle of spiritual maturity. We discussed this in a previous episode recorded in I believe it was in 2021. We know that Chiron was first cited in 1977. And with any astronomical body when the body is discovered, there's always some sort of story that goes along with that. For Chiron, there's a journey of self discovery and self mastery. As we can look to the year of 1977, particularly in the United States, but also in other cultures and countries. There was a new collective current around soul growth, and metaphysics that really began to peak. And this is a time to draw down and embody our divinity. Chiron is the bridge. He is the Rainbow Bridge, he connects us to, from Saturn into Uranus into those outer transpersonal collective planets. Saturn is a teaching planet, teaching us really about the limitations of what we can do in these bodies for our very own protection, literally for like the protection of our nervous system. Because if we go out into those outer planets too hard, too fast, too far, our nervous systems will collapse. And so Chiron really helps us to particularly understand our nervous system capacity, depending on what side Chiron is in, what generation we're born under, and what house Chiron lives in as well. Chiron teaches us a lot about how sensitive we are and people who have strong Chiron in their charts, I always encourage them. Like please, please be so careful with any kind of Speaker: 00:53:13 mind altering substances, whether it's plant medicine, whether it's prescription drugs, whether it's certain supplements, whether it's recreational drugs. People with these strong Chiron placements are very attuned in their nervous system. And I would also put technology into that category. We're at a time where we really need to learn how to consciously shield ourselves with our technology. And this is something that is real. And it is true whether you know about EMFs and geopathic resonances. It's a real thing, and it absolutely affects our health and our well being. And I believe with this new moon and as we're going deeper into the Age of Aquarius, more and more people are going to be able to understand that information. In tarot, Chiron could represent the hierophant, which is the inner spiritual teacher. In myth, Chiron was a master teacher of astrology, medicine, astronomy, magic, protection hunting. He was a musician. He was a shapeshifter. And he was not like the other centers. In fact, some say he was a priest, King of the centers. These centers were half horse and half human. They were Mythological Beings. And Chiron is also of the earth and of the sea, coming from a lineage of Uranus and Gaia as his graph. Parents, Kronos and Rhea raised him however, his mother was a sea nymph, and her name was file file Ria. Decided Chiron married a water goddess and their daughter was the shining one of the Moon who became a seer and an astrologer. She ascended to the stars, she became the constellation Pegasus. It is believed that Chiron also went to the stars, some say he became the constellation of Sagittarius, and that He is the true ruler of this constellation. It's interesting to consider this as both the Great Attractor and the galactic center, live within this constellation to very magnetic portals, cosmic wombs that I've spoken about quite a lot. In previous episodes, you can go to the Great Attractor, magnetic Eclipse portal episode, if you haven't taken a listen to that. And I'll share more about the galactic center and the Great Attractor in that episode. And this 28 degrees 27 degrees roughly, of Sagittarius connects us to the gate of God. And some people believe that we come. As we're journeying to Earth, we come from that gate of God and then we travel through the gate of man where we land. I find this all really fascinating. And I also believe Chiron has a deep deep affinity with the constellation of Virgo the sign of virgo. Chiron had this ability to identify the gift in each being and how to draw it out. And so this is really a journey of personal medicine, knowing thy medicine. Chiron founded the ancient temple healing of healing the scorpion. And throughout myth, he taught many different people how to master their personal quest. Jason in particular, Orpheus, he taught us Scorpios how to heal and work with medicine. He taught Achilles how to run and master music. He is known to teach those who are on some sort of journey and through this mastery and they are finding their own sacred pilgrimage through their life experiences. Chiron also as an astrologer is teaching about divination, he works with shamanism and healing. Speaker: 00:57:58 And where Chiron is transiting shows us, within our own charts or personal Charts, where the great pressure of our times is, and how we may use illness or struggle or intensity as the illumination point, because where the struggle lies is the messenger to your passage to your great initiation, so to speak. Now as the story continues, we know that Chiron picked up a poisoned arrow of Hercules dropped it on his foot, and his foot became poisoned. And the catch here is that it was a poison. He taught Hercules how to make. But because Chiron was immortal, he could not die. And so he had to live with this unbearable pain. And it was so so intense. He gave Himself in exchange for Prometheus, Prometheus was imprisoned for giving fire to humanity. And Zeus oversaw the trade. And that is essentially what brought Chiron to the stars. And this is a journey of the medicine way, how to use power in a good way. how humanity can learn to use power in a good way. So we have this really kind of potent story here about an exchange of fire and Chiron going to the stars and fires our connection to our ancestors. A lot of lot of layers here to sit with. Now, as I said, in astrology, Chiron orbits between the Saturn the manifester and Uranus the Liberator and has an extreme elliptic For instance, Chiron can be in Aries for over eight years, but in Libra for one and a half years, many of us experience the Chiron return around the age of 50. Give or take. And what I have witnessed by sitting with over hundreds and hundreds of people of many different ages is that that Chiron return is a major initiation, the midlife activation points ranging around the planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, really prepare us physically and energetically, emotionally and spiritually for the Chiron return. And if we are so up for the initiatory process, we step fully into our embodiment as we go through the Chiron return. What I love about astrology is that nothing can be rushed, right, like each planet, each transit comes in its own due time. It doesn't matter how majestic your soul is, and how many lifetimes you've lived in whatever sources you've served and where you've come from. We are, as Saturn says, we are limited and we are defined by these bodies, on some level, yes, we can supersede them as well. I believe that very much. However, certain things are time coded. And that is why working with astrology is so important. It helps you to understand these time codes, and how to sink into them and consciously consciously work with them. Chiron represents initiation. If you choose to align with the highest essence, this is all about taking up the mantle of spiritual authority and maturity, being the author, the authority of your life. How powerful would it be here on Earth, if every single one of us took full residents resonance within our human bodies, fully brought our frequency into our human bodies, our higher self, and drew from that, and took full accountability for who we are, and why we're here. The New Earth would be here like that. Speaker: 01:02:35 Chiron is here to assist us. if you so choose to align with the highest essence. This is calling forth the mantle of spiritual authority, you move into a space of knowing what to do and what not to do in any given moment. And therefore there must be an internal agreement to walk this path with as much diligence as possible. Chiron was a renaissance man. And as he was this healer who could not heal himself, he teaches us also to have that compassion with self that our wounds offer us the key to unlock our greater and greatest healing. I often tell people that I like to see Chiron like this dose of homeopathic medicine that gets distilled to us at the exact moments we need to experience it in our lives. And Chiron very much is about holistic healing, we have to holistically approach the situation. And that also means tapping into the unconscious part of ourselves, where we may feel scattered, diffused, and ungrounded. Now with Chiron and Aries, there's very much a search for identity. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my soul's purpose. And collectively with Chiron in Aries. There's a placement of great great initiation. We must be leaders. You must be a courageous trailblazer in your life, a pioneer of the most passionate and instinctual kind. You are the trailblazer for your lineage, to harness that collective capacity for holistic knowledge, while simultaneously fulfilling your need to be independent and to know thyself to go through each layer of initiation, the innovative measures while also calling upon your inner child, that innocence, to give birth to The new forms while being aware of where you may be aggressive or selfish or rash, we can call for new forms of energy healing, embodiment, and inspiring visions. So may you activate this Maverick healing frequency within this Aries New Moon, may you heal and uplift and elevate. Thank you so much for circling up with this podcast. I know how valuable your time is in the Aquarian Age. And so I just truly bow to you, I bring my palms together at my heart and I bow to you for being here about your ancestors.

I would love love love for you to join us in the earth seed community. This is a online course. So it's taught for anyone anywhere in the world. It is taught live. Speaker: 01:07:08 And it's virtual. We meet Tuesdays at 7pm Eastern Daylight Time. However, there are people from all over the world who join us. So everything is recorded, you have lifetime access to the course. Every time I teach the course which will be once a year in the spring, you have the opportunity to circle back around and to come in live. So once you invest, you're part of this earth seed community. Now Earth seed offers essential principles and practices for personal empowerment in these radical times. Earthseed is going to help you with really harnessing the mantle of your spiritual authority. I'm going to teach you nature based modalities that help you develop an authentic, intimate connection that is grounded with the cycles of life on Earth, so that you can really show up with Vitality, presence and resilience in the day to day. And because I know many of us fear living an unfulfilled life, I know many of us are exhausted from endless scrolling on our devices. I know sometimes you might feel flat or lethargic, or like you're not honoring your boundaries. You might even have countless restless nights just tossing and turning in your bed, or feeling lonely yet you're afraid to speak your truth and be fully seen. And the truth is, is that over time humanity has fallen away from the natural cycles of Earth. Our understanding of these rhythms is very distorted, which results in a lack of true self care and a really spaced out existence. And our postmodern over culture has taught us that progress is measured through technological advancements. Meanwhile, each time we reach for a device, we get a dopamine hit to our brain that sends this cascade of hormones throughout the body. We are literally addicted to these devices. They came into our lives. No one taught us how to use them in a good way. And now we have upgrades coming in left and right and there's this race to keep up. And the truth is technology's not going anywhere. We have to find a healthy way for integration with technology for our Earth, for our children, for our children's children for the future of humanity. The truth is, every single moment is a miracle Speaker: 01:09:59 and This is exactly why I created Earth seed. So Earth seed is a culmination of my life, study and work and I mean that whole heartedly. Through the techniques and knowledge offered in this transformative course, you will fall in love with yourself and you will fall in love with the earth all over again. By the end of this journey, you're going to experience simple guidance and distilled information on how to align with the rhythms of the sun and the moon, you will feel an intimate connection with stones and crystals rooted in an ancient Taoist lineage. What and you'll also understand how these allies carry the deep intelligence, the stories of Mother Earth and a multitude of healing properties. You're going to have knowledge and practices to connect with your chakras, the wheels of light within your body. And the chakras will help you keep healthy boundaries and energetic sovereignty, you'll be able to draw upon your own inner authority, and from that space really master and manifest a life that is fully embodied. So in Earthseed, we go through a whole blueprint of nine weeks, each week is connected to a module which is really a temple it is a temple that is anchored with a different stone. And in each temple, you will experience a understanding of the seasonal solar gates and the lunar gate that mirror one another and a stone that is also connected on a for sequential level to that solar and lunar gate, and how to work with that stone as an ally. Also, while simultaneously working within your physical body and opening the portals of your body through the chakras. This earth seed journey will I'll also be weaving in some yogic practices. So there's going to be a true true physical embodiment piece in addition to a lot of like, guided meditative opportunities so that you can develop your own practice based off of these principles within Earth seed. So we begin with the Temple of Garnet and the Root Chakra. And then we move into the temple of carnelian, and the sacral chakra, up into the Solar Plexus with the Temple of citrulline into the heart, with a temple of Peridot, up through the throat with a temple of lapis lazuli. From there, the third eye with the Temple of Labradorite, to the crown with the Temple of Amethyst, and then moving consciously on how we're going to anchor this cosmic energy through the Soul star chakra, and the Temple of Selenite. And culminating with the Temple of multibyte, which allows us to weave the celestial web and to activate the galactic chakra. So if this is something you're interested in joining us, I would love to welcome you. It is more than a course it is a true community that we're building. There are a number of people who have been with me in multiple councils and will be circling back around. And we are really creating an ecosystem of people who want to connect into the earth and ground an anchor through the bones of Mother Earth through her stones through her stories. And with that you're weaving your own story. And you're really also it is like a chi Radek journey of I've never actually considered it quite like this before. But as I'm recording this episode, and we just went deep into Chiron, I'm seeing how Earthseed really is a Chiron ik journey because when you commit to these principles and practices, you have this opportunity to be ushered into your own unique medicine, through this exploration and through the reflection of the community. Speaker: 01:14:57 I have a guarantee you will If you sign up for the course and you're not enjoying it, you can receive a full refund. And there's many other bonuses that come with the course. It is truly like a work of my art and devotion that I am offering for you to thrive in these times.

And that will take you directly to the sign up link as well. I would love to see you there. So again, we begin on the fifth of April. It's a nine week course meaning every Tuesday. And that's a really special day, it's when Venus enters Pisces, and Venus is exalted. And that was why part of the reason why I chose that day. So I'm always consciously working with the astrology when, when I initiate my greater like forms of creation, whether it's a course like Earth seed or pilgrimage, they're always very, very aligned with the astrology. And again, it's for everyone in the world. And I've had beautiful people from India and the UK, and Australia join us so we love to keep welcoming new people into the community. And if you are in the local Asheville community, I just want to say on the fourth of April Monday, I will be offering a four week yoga series. So if you're interested in joining that, please send me a message if you want the details. On the fifth of April at 11:17am Venus enters Pisces she is exalted in Pisces, she loves to be in Pisces. So that's really going to shift the frequency for us collectively. From there, we are preparing for this Jupiter Neptune conjunction, which is on April 12, Tuesday at 10:42am Eastern Daylight Time. This is a super important marriage that's coming up. It is offering us this opportunity to be boundless in our lives to multiply the miracles to call forth the power and the potency of the collective energy. Jupiter really wants to help us expand and grow and harness more wisdom and joy and health and vitality in our lives. And Neptune is that illusionary imaginative artistic part of the collective frequency. And there's so much to say about this conjunction and what is available to us and I have been touching on it in the past couple of episodes. And in Episode 49 We're going to go much deeper. So please stay tuned for that. Again, I just want to invite you to circle up with us through earth seed. If you cannot come live, you will still absolutely benefit from this course as every single thing is recorded. And there's a there's a whole beautiful course portal set up for you. And with that as we conclude, I drew a couple of cards for us to call forth the magic of this Aries New Moon. The first card that came up I work with this oracle Oracle deck and it is terra firma and this is about how one is unsparing, wild self contemplative and attune to their destiny. It is about being connected to the living mystery of the Earth, about really feeling the foundation of the ground below your feet, feeling the primary direct experience of human consciousness. The terra firma inheritance that is your power and your destiny. Speaker: 01:19:39 From there the the one card that came out through the Tarot is the Wheel of Fortune or in the deck that I work with is fortunes wheel. And as the 10th card in the deck where Destiny meets synchronicity and the affirmation that goes with this from The good Tarot which I love by Colette Baron Reid is, I am in order to experience many meaningful coincidences that prove to me that spirit has my back. These lucky breaks and moments when things just turn out perfectly, show how we're all connected. My gamble will pay off when I trust my co creative partnership with spirit. My destiny is obvious to me now. And the final Oracle Card is phenomena. This is about magic, action, conception form matter, and how life entered with its own exalted and intrinsic form, brings the blessing of phenomena. And with that, thank you so much for circling up.

Thank you for your hard diligent work. Thank you for your courageous heart and your willingness to go through these portals. Speaker: 01:22:36 Beloved one, we are the stars that fall. How have we forgotten that which we are. I invite you to go on a journey with me to find safe sanctuary for your physical vessel to make this space for you of any electronic or other distractions, to take care of your biological needs to come see or lie down in the space here and now to find stillness, to find romance with your breath Speaker: 01:23:29 that inherent exchange with the beloved that lives through us, each and every breath we invite God goddess, into our bodies, into our lungs, into the very cells of our be. And as you find this stillness, the sweetness i wish to share with you as I have in the past many moons ago. And the first time I was initiated in this physical body within the Great Pyramid in the king's chamber was many moons ago. And when I was initiated into that space, it was instantaneous. The journey I was taken on. I came to lay back my head down on the ground of the king's chamber. And immediately I fell into the stars. And as I fell into the stars, my eyes were closed. Yet through my inner vision I saw The myriad of constellations of sacred spaces within the space. Frequency of all that is, it was so viscerally alive for me. I felt so much warmth, and welcoming. To be surrounded with my story, sisters and brothers. And it really felt like that there was that sense of agave. And as I journeyed, I became a shooting star moving through time and space. And I could feel as I moved through time and space, that I was not alone, that I was being guided and shielded and protected the whole way I was being carried, essentially. And I saw the journey through my mind's eye. And as I saw it, I felt everything it was as alive for me as any earthly experience ever has been. And as I continue to journey as the star, I became closer and closer to the Earth's atmosphere, I knew where I was headed. And as I move through the Earth's atmosphere, I could feel the sensation of knowing the pressure of what was to come, as there is the sacred agreement on earth, to forget to forget that which we truly are, that we are the stars that fall. And I imagine you to have had this experience, whether you're consciously aware of it or not, I imagine you to have gone through this a multitude of times. This is the sacred journey we travel upon. And we arrive in this human flesh. We are birthed into the world through our mothers, regardless of if they deliver vaginally, or through cesarean surgery, or through Speaker: 01:28:00 another means whether we're born through complete and total love and acceptance, or partial rejection, each one of us on some level or another, we go through a trauma that is very real, a sensation that is really true for each one of us, where there's some part of us that does not feel fully accepted. And this creates the beginning of the duality of being human, of this experience that we agree upon. And so I invite you to consider your own Chiron attic space with a maverick healer exists within your placement of your physical body, the mapping of your life. Note notice, notice where this frequency comes through and how. Although the path has been isolating, challenging, filled with grief, anger, madness, a whole range of shadow energies. Notice how the challenges of the storyline have also brought many possibilities for you. possibilities to show up, empowered to take us Stand to use your voice, to allow your body to be a vessel for truth, to protect and know what your boundaries are to protect your inner landscape to protect your greatest resources, to honor your identity, to share your creative gifts with the world, to be in deep and everlasting community to heal your family of origin, to be a great provider and leave a living legacy to express your ideas and your thoughts and your intelligence, and to share your beliefs to even renew and restructure the cultures beliefs, to live in relationship, in harmony with yourself and with others. There are so many portals of possibility that the maverick healer, the Rainbow Bridge of Chiron brings into our lives. For so many of us, we've been hypnotized in an over culture that makes us shrink at pain and that intensity. However, at this time, we do live in a world of duality. And it is part of the sacred dance we are mastering in these times. As we step deeper into the Aquarian Age, we have this opportunity to reclaim to reclaim the parts of our bloodlines. Our soul lines, our star lines, to reclaim the parts and to literally rewrite re matrix these stories. And as we learn through the world of manifestation on Earth, and we apply the subtle electrical frequencies of all that is through time and space. That is when we can initiate this Maverick. Healing into our lives personally Speaker: 01:32:56 into our lives collectively. And so I invite you to continue to allow your body to experience your own personal Chiron stick journey, noticing where you are in your life Speaker: 01:33:19 and an honoring this space and this place. Knowing that you truly have the sovereign power, to shift the timelines and to rewrite the story of your own healing. You have the opportunity to see the beloved and to witness how the beloved moves through you and with you literally in each and every breath of the sacred life and it is through surrendering the need to control it is through surrendering to source while also holding steady with your unique creative visionary abilities. Remember, remember dear one, we are the stars that fall and it is our turn to remember that we are walking galaxies of Ancient Future wisdom. We are potent. We are powerful. And we are infinitely blessed. I'd like to share this prayer with you to close our circle, prayer for stability. I stand today and for all times, as a wise and loving adult in this world, I trust myself and I trust in the goodness in all hearts. I hold love and stability in this world and fashion my life accordingly. I honor and respect those who may be fearful and recognize that many are still young. I will live with my eyes, ears and heart open, I will build the life I came to build. And so it is.

Being able to run tests quickly is essential during development. As a maintainer I end up running the test suite several dozens of times per day. Recently I noticed that the functional tests ( test/functional/test_runner.py ) are slow when run inside a qemu VM (with KVM).
When I drilled down to find the cause it became apparent that RPC calls such as getnewaddress were much slower (up to 10 times, when compared to bare metal on older hardware). It turns out that this is because the wallet code does an fsync after every operation to make sure that changes to the database are safely wrtten to disk (for example in the case of a power failure), and these happen to be slow in this environment.
In tests, all state is deleted afterwards so this extra robustness isn’t useful. To see if it could be a faster I performed timings running the tests with various more and less safe cache settings.
qemu cache setting
The cache setting determines the caching strategy used for a virtual block device, and can be provided on the qemu command line though cache= or, in the case of libvirt is configured in the XML description, e.g.
<driver name= 'qemu' type= 'qcow2' cache= 'writeback' />
tmp on qcow2 (image)
cache cumulative (s) runtime (s) none 4138 1060 writethrough 4081 1044 default 3912 1003 writeback 3851 988 unsafe 1042 278
tmp on raw (block device)
cache cumulative (s) runtime (s) none 3850 986 writethrough 3806 977 default 3300 840 writeback 3247 826 unsafe 987 264
Conclusion
Both in the case of a qcow2 virtual disk and when passing though a block device, the cache setting makes a significant impact on performance. unsafe caching, which disables fsync completely, results in the fastest test runs. This can make almost a factor 4 difference compared to the slowest option, none .
Besides changing the cache setting, a similar effect can be achieved using the utility eatmydata . This tool wraps a command and disables fsync and similar library calls completely while it runs. This results in comparable timings to using unsafe caching, and may also help on bare metal.
Travis CI, although it runs the tests in VMs, doesn’t seem to be affected by this: disabling fsync did not show influence on performance there. It’s possible that they’ve already configured unsafe caching.
Note: all of these suggestions compromise integrity for performance. Doing this when live wallets are involved would be an extremely bad idea. | positive |
Chase Complete Home About Me Chase Complete Chasing Amazing Checklist Blind Spots Checklist Home Chase Complete Chasing Amazing Checklist Blind Spots Checklist About Me Home » monthly haul » Chase Complete Chase Complete By Mark Ginocchio October 8, 2014 monthly haul 27 Comments If you’re going to set out on a journey, you need to know where your destination is going to be. Even if you’re not 100 percent sure how you’re going to get there, how long it’s going to take, and how many stops along the way you’re going to make. You need to have a point of terminus; otherwise, you’re just wandering aimlessly – your achievements destined to be unfulfilled. I’m pretty sure I was 13 or 14 when I first had the inkling of an idea to collect every single issue of Amazing Spider-Man. I had been buying Spider-Man comics off and on for about 7 years at that point, and I had just purchased some of my very first Silver Age back issues. I probably owned somewhere between 50 and 100 Spider-Man comics back then, which meant I still had close to 300 more to pick up – including some of the very most important and expensive Spider-Man comics that were out there. I would think about some of these issues – Amazing Spider-Man #1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11, 14 … you get the point – and tell myself that I was absolutely mental to even give such an objective a passing thought. It wasn’t just about the money – though that undoubtedly was a factor, especially as a young teenager. But also a question of drive, desire and perseverance. Not only did I need to have the money to buy all of these comics, but I needed to hunt every one down in the condition I wanted and for a price I was willing (and able) to spend on them. I was going to have to do this more than 300 times over if I wanted to complete my collection (and let’s not forget about buying all the new comics as they came out). And for every comic I purchased – every inch closer I got towards completing my quest – this journey would inevitably become more treacherous since I would have to combat a host of conflicting feelings about the silliness of my Quixotian quest and my passion/stubbornness to keep at it. But I kept my eye on the destination – every issue of Amazing Spider-Man, from #1 to wherever the series was ending off (for arguments sake, let’s say #700). Last week, nearly 27 years after I picked up my first ever issue of Amazing Spider-Man, ASM #296, a comic I purchased for 75 cents off the spinner rack at a corner candy store in my small Long Island hometown, I finally reached my destination. My chase – my journey – ended. And now … all I can really do … is muster some reflections on that journey. Not to suck the drama and exhilaration out of this moment, but there was something almost inevitable about how I got here. Not because I necessarily knew that in late September, 2014, I would stumble upon a copy of Amazing Spider-Man #3, in the condition I like, for a price I was willing to pay for it. But with only one more comic left to purchase to complete my collection, I think even the biggest cynic would understand that it was not a question of IF I ever picked up that last comic, but WHEN. The completion of my chase became inevitable a little more than a year ago when, while shooting footage for a reality show that sadly will never see the light of day, I finally acquired my copy of Amazing Spider-Man #1. Prior to that moment, I had convinced myself that ASM #1 would be the very last Spider-Man (back issue) comic I ever purchased – just because I could never justify spending that kind of money on myself unless it was the very last piece to the puzzle. Or, the only way to end my journey. But as I referred to earlier, the journey doesn’t always go as planned. In fact, it usually doesn’t. I was a proud owner of ASM #1 – news I unfortunately had to sit on and be silent about for months rather than shouting it from the digital rooftops as I wanted to do hours after I first made that purchase. The thing is, while I was biding my time in making that post, I came to the realization that with ASM #1 in my possession, it would be absolutely silly for me to not grab those remaining few issues. That’s like catching the big fish, cleaning and fileting it, firing up the grill, and then leaving it outside in the sun to spoil. You don’t desire a complete collection of a comic book series, buy the most expensive issue in the run, and then decide that you’re going to stop there. So did my unexpected purchase of ASM #1 last summer cheapen the ultimate completion of my quest last week? I had this very weird, almost inauthentic moment while I opened up the mailing envelope containing my brand new copy of ASM #3 last week. Demonstrating the absolute inevitability of the moment, I signed up for e-mail updates on the progress of my parcel from the postal service, so I knew when my chase-ender was dropped in the mail, received by the postal service, shipped to a nearby distribution center, went out for mail in my Brooklyn neighborhood, and delivered and signed for last Friday. So, when I got home, I wasn’t remotely surprised to see my package. I carefully opened the envelope and at that moment my wife whipped out her phone and started recording. When I pulled the comic out, I was temporarily frustrated by the fact that the seller had put a protective backing board on both sides of the comic, thereby obscuring the cover from my immediate view. My wife was still rolling the camera phone through this fit and start routine. After I finally got one of the backing boards out of the comic, I was able to look at this very monumental purchase. I released a slow, steady breath from my nostrils – more of a sigh of a relief than anything else. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw my wife’s phone so I turned towards it, displayed the comic like I’m Vanna White turning letters, and smiled like a goofball. I thought she was taking my picture. A few minutes later, I ask my wife if she could take another picture of me with the comic – one that’s not capturing the immediate seconds after I first laid eyes on it. She then proceeded to tell me that she didn’t take a picture; that she was rolling video because she wanted to capture this very important moment in our lives for posterity. “It’s not every day you get to see somebody’s dream come true,” she said. Let me just interrupt my train of thought here to point out, for the umpteenth time, how awesome my wife has been for a very good portion of this journey (we first started dating in college 14 years ago this month. We will be married 7 years in November). More tangentially – my wife almost gave me a heart attack in the build up to this purchase. Last Monday, I received a Facebook message from none other than my Amazing Spider-Talk co-host Dan Gvozden, who had just made a significant purchase on his own end the weekend before. In this Facebook message, Dan mentioned that in one of the groups he belongs too, someone was selling a copy of ASM #3 in my price range. Dan had tried to include scans and a link to the seller’s profile, but the message wasn’t coming through. So he told me the guy’s name and I found him the good old-fashioned way, e-mailed him and starting the negotiation (if you even call it that – his price was good and fair, and the copy looked great. There was hardly any give or take). When the seller found out I was just another collector, he told me he wanted to make this purchase happen for me, but he also warned me that he was getting a lot of prospective buyers for this comic – if I wanted to complete my collection, I was going to have to give him my final answer quickly. When I asked if I could have 24 hours, he didn’t say “no,” but he definitely gave me the idea that 24 hours might be too much time for me to wait on this comic. So I shot my wife a text message. And then another. And another. I wanted to do the right thing and let her know that this comic I had long talked about had been made available to me, for a price I don’t think I was ever going to beat considering the condition it was in. But if I lost out on this comic because she wasn’t checking her cell phone, I was going to be unbelievably upset. I finally called her and was like, “did you check your text messages?” Of course she didn’t – she was busy. Anyway, I barely got the words out about ASM #3 and she told me “do it.” Not in a dismissive, why did I marry this guy way. But in an “oh my god, I can’t believe this thing you’ve been doing for the past 27 years is finally coming to an end,” kind of way. Back to the original point I was making in regards to my reaction to receiving/opening ASM #3. When I found out that my wife was actually video recording me, I asked her a very bizarre question: “was my reaction good enough?” What does that even mean? My wife, more or less, called me out for my insipidness. “Your reaction is your reaction,” she said. And that’s right. But in this moment of elation, confusion and disbelief, I guess I was a little disappointed in myself for not having a more over the top reaction. I wasn’t that kid from the YouTube video getting an N64. I didn’t have that rapid heartbeat/sea sickness that followed me a good 24 hours after I purchased ASM #1 (with HD cameras in my face to boot). I wish I could tell all of you something fun like that about this experience. But my reaction is my reaction. It was a heavy exhalation of breathe through my nostrils, and then a goofy smile because I thought someone was taking a still photo of me. Awkward to the last drop – I am a comic book fan after all. In the aftermath/afterglow of this acquisition, another question keeps popping into my head – what’s next. It’s honestly something that’s still quite difficult for me to answer. I guess it’s like reaching your destination and already planning your next trip. You do realize it took me 27 years to get here, right? Yeah, yeah, ask me about the annual issues or Amazing Fantasy #15. I down’t own all of the annuals and I’ll probably never have the stomach to spend that kind of money on Amazing Fantasy #15 (another funny married life story. This past weekend I was talking to my wife about AF #15 and I joked about how maybe someone will want me to write a book about my chase and how I could use my advance money to buy Amazing Fantasy #15. “Or you could put aside money so our son could go to college,” my wife said. Always the pragmatist). The thing is, the completion of my actual quest – the thing I set out to do so long ago – just ended and it’s too soon for me to think of what my next big purchase is going to be. And honestly, it’s all immaterial anyway. Just like my reaction is my reaction, my collection is my collection. Nobody can ever take that away from me. But to address another element of the “what’s next” dilemma – the subhead at the top of my blog is, “one person’s quest to collect every issue of Amazing Spider-Man.” As I’ve already said 900 times already, that quest is over. Does that mean that Chasing Amazing is “no more?” I started this site more than three years ago as a way to get my thoughts on collecting Spider-Man comics down on a virtual page. I thought it would be a fun exercise since it combined two things I loved with all my heart and soul – writing and Spider-Man comic books. The first few posts on Chasing Amazing were very heavily tilted towards my attitudes and philosophies about colleting, whether it was little tidbits about my standards, or just stupid minutia about what happened one time I tried to buy a back issue. My idea to start writing little anecdotal bits about individual issues in my collection was inspired heavily by the memoir, Cardboard Gods by Josh Wilker – a great book about someone who tells their life story through their childhood baseball card collection. Obviously, my site mission has grown exponentially and tangentially since 2011. I write far more straight-up reviews of comics, both new and old, than I ever imagined I would. And while I love talking about my thoughts and opinions on these comics, there is a part of me that feels a little putoff by the fact that the personal touch on this site has seemingly dissipated as I stopped buying tons of old comics every month and had to focus on different kinds of posts in order to continue building an audience and fill out my site. The truth is, I think I write best when I keep it personal. I can’t say with any certainty that any of you want to read my personal rants about comics and life (and sometimes both), but it’s what I’m happiest doing. Without any more comics to be hunting for my quest, it’s going to be very difficult to personally connect with my material. However, I also just can’t pull the plug on everything I’ve built up for more than three years either. So that’s why, as of right now, Chasing Amazing will continue. It’s just that the “chasing” element is now a moot point. There might come a day where I reconsider, and decide that it’s time to retire this blog. Or maybe I find a new way to tell my story which will take my time and energy away from writing about the newest issue of ASM. Either way, let’s just leave my answer in a “for now” state of mind. Given the nature of this blog post, I want this article to function as a biography of sorts for my collection. So I’m going to include the links to all of my “monthly haul” posts which document when I made new purchases, as well as those little anecdotal “Remembrance of Comics Past” articles. I also plan to eventually post a copy of this article as a new page on this site where “The Remaining Chase” currently is – since, well, there’s no more chase remaining! I’ve said this more than a few times over the past year – especially as I’ve moved closer and closer to completing this chase – but I really would have never reached the end of my journey without all of you out there who have followed me since day one, month one, year one, or just last week. You have transformed this little writing exercise of mine into something – well, it’s honestly not that big, but it’s certainly bigger than it has any right to be. And it’s allowed me to meet a lot of great people I would have otherwise never come into contact with. So, here we are. The end of the line. The destination. As the title of the blog indicates, my chase to collect every issue of Amazing Spider-Man has been an amazing experience, that has taught me a ton about myself and the people around me. In many ways, this chase has defined me in a person, much like being a son, a brother, a husband and a father have defined me. I’m kinda embarassed to say that my “dreams came true” as my wife put it, but I guess when you boil it down, that’s what happened. If I wanted to state what happened with far less bombast, I would say, I achieved a lifetime goal and crossed off a bucket list item more than 27 years in the making. I’ve had people ask me over the years why do I chase? What compels me to do? Is there a collector’s gene that drives me to do it? I wish I could offer some kind of profound answer, but I do think doing what I do takes a high level of commitment, and more importantly, passion to see something through. As wonderful as this chase has been, I have also had many moments of frustration, heartbreak, defeat and despair. I’ve felt ripped off by a few purchases, and ashamed of myself for how I acted towards some of the people who mean the very most to me in my life, all over my almost-lust for collecting an entire run of ASM comics. I can’t speak about the joy and elation I’m feeling right now without, at least acknowledging that there’s a seedy underbelly to doing what I did. Unless you’re the kind of person who just doesn’t care about anyone around you. If that’s the case, more power to you (and happy chasing). But that’s all part of my story, a story I’ve conveniently cataloged for all of you to check out on this page, now until the end of time (or when the internet is inevitably replaced with something far more sophisticated and far more concerned about eliminating all nonsensical ramblings like personal blogs). The good news about this story, is it had a happy ending. The good news about this story is it had an ending, period. And it’s an ending I’m going to cherish for a very long time.

Your blog, and your chase at large, helped reignite my own passion for comics, and your personal reflections are always sincere and interesting. And hats off to your supportive partner too – she sounds like a saint. Reply Dennis Mercier October 8, 2014 Really happy for you that your chase is complete Mark. Must feel great to finally have every issue of Amazing. Congratulations! Reply Carly October 8, 2014 Congrats Mark!! What an exciting accomplishment, and so cool that you’ve made it happen after 27 years of work. And congrats to your lovely wifey as well, for being the supportive rock that she is. Love you and miss you both so much! Reply Nelson October 8, 2014 Congrats Mark! Happy to see you reach your goal! Your blog -and your quest- was an influence that got me reading & collecting comics again after 20 years away, and starting my own ASM back issue collection. Thanks for a great job, looking forward to many more years of Spidey comics with you! Reply Warren October 8, 2014 A complete collection of ASM and a supportive wife! Your a lucky bastard. Congratulations…time to start on Spectacular Spider-Man.. Reply Dan Gvozden October 8, 2014 I’m so glad you were able to finish this huge chapter in your life. I’m even more tickled that I could have been a part of it. I have been reading your blog for almost as long as it existed and never imagined what would result of it. All the things we do were certainly inspired by your writing and quest that mirrored my own. I know I say this a lot, but gaining a friend out of this process, one who has taught me as much as you have, has been the best experience out of all the searching I’ve done over the years. Congratulations! You did it! Now I’m going to bug you about those annuals. Reply Doug October 8, 2014 Mark — This is wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing. Congratulations — what an accomplishment! And to your wife — what a terrific partner she must be to have given you this support over the course of your quest. This is just great. Enjoy! Doug Reply pmpknface October 8, 2014 Congrats Mark! Believe me, I know the feeling. Enjoy it and keep up the good work on the blog…. … and maybe think about chasing down those annuals! 😉 Reply JP October 8, 2014 Congrats Mark! I stumbled upon you blog while browsing for other comic fans like myself. I was excited to see that you were documenting your chase while I am going through my own. It’s been great reading all of your material on the blog, spidey related and just comics related as well. I was never a regular commenter but there were a few times on here as well as twitter where we spoke about Spider-Man. I am excited for you and also excited to continue my own chase. I can only imagine the feeling of holding the final issue in my hands one day. I look forward to reading your articles in the future and hope to see you chase another run someday. Your personal spin and experiences on collecting and everything that it comes with have hit home for me and I’m sure many others. Congrats again! -JP Reply Tyler Barlass October 8, 2014 Congrats, Mark! It’s been great fun following your chase all this time. Now you just need to chase down all those “blind spots.” Reply Karen Williams October 8, 2014 Congratulations, Mark. I’m happy that you were finally able to complete your AMAZING 🙂 collection after 27 years! I cannot imagine owning a complete run of any of the classic marvel comics. Reply Yourself October 8, 2014 Really nice to read this. Congratulations! This blog has always made you seem like a person who was “Chasing Amazing” because it meant something to you; you *wanted* every issue of Amazing Spider-Man. I think that’s a lot more commendable than people who collect for the sake of it. Moving on to Annuals or AF#15 just because they’re there only seems like it would devalue how far you’ve come. Hopefully you keep going with the coverage of current issues. It’s nice having you read the crap books so we can all keep up with Spidey. Plus your reviews have a more personal and distinctive voice than you give them credit for. Reply Longbox Graveyard October 8, 2014 Life is such a crooked line sometimes. You wind up places with no way of predicting how you got there. When you and I first started corresponding a couple years ago, I remember thinking how blogging was going to get you to the end of your quest, in a way you could never anticipate … and here we are (and I guarantee no one had “unaired reality TV show episode” in the “How will Mark score ASM #1” pool). Congrats, friend. And my crass advice for the next phase — Selling Amazing … One Man’s Quest To Sell Every Issue of Amazing Spider-Man (for more than he paid for them!) Reply Ray Sumser October 8, 2014 Way to go! I’ve dreamed of someday owning AF15. You had a grander dream than I and you completed it! Reply J.A. Morris October 8, 2014 Congratulations, this is a great day in Spidey history! Reply MBAqu@ October 8, 2014 I couln’t not post something about this, even if probably everyone else before me have already said everything there was to say. Really, really congratulations! This is one of those achievements in life that may seem void for some, but bring a sense of completeness (more than happiness) to the ones who reach them. And that’s what’s important afterall: satisfaction for finally achieving a so-longed-for goal and memories, a lot of sweet, wonderful (and maybe sad yet educational) memories. I hope this will not stop you from sharing your thoughts about anything Spiderman-related new that comes out, because you’re really good at that and I always enjoy your writings! Cheers! Reply ALB October 8, 2014 Saw your tweet yesterday and I immediately knew. Congratulations. Proud and happy for you. Reply Osvaldo Oyola October 8, 2014 Fantastic Post! And congrats on the achievement. I am fascinated by collecting (and part of my scholarly work is shaped by various notions of collecting with comics being a big part of that because. . .well, because of a lot of reasons I won’t go into here, but leave it at because of the way narratives overlap between industry, artifact and collector) and plan to go back and read some of your early posts that you put down because they sound interesting to me. I love that minutiae, even if my own relation to collecting is very different (I have small projects I undertake). Anyway, I think despite having all these issues you are in a way continuing to “chase Amazing” because it has moved far beyond the literal meaning. All best! Reply Tom October 8, 2014 Many congrats, my friend. I know how much this has meant to you. I can’t wait to see what CA becomes. Reply Osvaldo Oyola October 8, 2014 Did my post disappear? Reply Mark Ginocchio October 9, 2014 I can still see it… Reply Chris W. October 8, 2014 Congrats! I remember having similar feelings when I completed my run of Amazing. After the initial euphoria wore off, I was kind of lost for a while, not sure what to pursue next. I eventually would up picking up the various annuals I was missing and lately have focused on collecting early Silver/Bronze age Spidey appearances in other titles. Once that’s done I might think about working on a run of Spectacular Spider-Man. Only 263 of those to pick up! Reply Danbbqman October 8, 2014 Wow-Way to go! I discovered this site a little over a year ago. Thanks for the entertaining articles and the fun of following the end of your chase. i hope this does not mean the end of “Chasing Amazing” or your wonderful Podcast with the unusually long name Reply Mark Ginocchio October 9, 2014 Since so many of you came on here to offer your congrats, let me just give a blanket thank you to all of you for cheering me and the site on. This has been a blast, and yes, despite the ominous tone at the end of the post, I’ll still be writing this blog, certainly for the foreseeable future. Reply Jamie October 11, 2014 I definitely know that feeling. I was the same way when I finally finished my Uncanny x-men run a few years ago. I wonder if you will look for higher grade issues now or just stop? I am looking at higher grades and sell my lower grades to offset the costs. As well as finish other series runs. Iron man 1-55 Daredevil 1-20 Fantastic Four 1-50 It’s an amazing time to be a buyer right now, prices are very reasonable and thanks to grading the guess work is taken out of it. Congrats on finishing such an important run. Now begs the question, Are you going to track down Amazing Fantasy 15? Reply Austin Gorton October 13, 2014 Congrats Mark! It’s a hell of an accomplishment, and though I’ve only recently discovered your site, I’ve enjoyed reading along with your chase. I’m on a similar quest to complete a run of X-Men, and hope to someday know your feeling of accomplishment. Good to hear that even though your chase is over your writing isn’t. Keep up the good work! Reply snowkatt October 13, 2014 congratulations its amazing to think that you managed to get all of them all 700 its one amazing ( pun not intented ) achievement i do hope you will read all of them ( in order ) and that in due time you will snap a few pictures show casing all 700 Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

"Familiar Shapes" and the man behind them COVID-19 Catch Up COVID-19 Catch Up THE VIEWER MVNU'S STUDENT NEWS SOURCE "Familiar Shapes" and the man behind them Throughout all of recorded history humankind has felt the desire to create, to leave a fragment of his or her own thinking behind for others to glean from. This desire is often accomplished through art. At Mount Vernon Nazarene University, art is embraced amongst students and faculty alike. MVNU Professor Justin Sorensen has been given the opportunity to share his art with the community in a new exhibition in the Schnormeier Gallery. Sorensen has spent countless hours preparing for “Familiar Shapes,” a gallery exhibition composed of a selection of six individual art pieces. At first glance these pieces seem to have no relation to one another – this is simply because they aren’t meant to have any relation. Sorensen said, “I’m interested in associations between seemingly disparate fields. I want to keep it open ended.” This idea becomes clear when the themes and ideas behind each piece are uncovered. “The show is pulling from a lot of different fields. I’m looking at topics as diverse as the history of aviation in Ohio, to the state of religion in China,” said Sorensen. The themes of Sorensen’s work give the viewer the chance to enter the mind of the artist and explore what is important to him. What could appear to the untrained eye as a simple piece of art, is in reality the result of deep thought and contemplation by the artist on topics such as light pollution, the Wright brothers, religion in China and the consequences of our culture. Creating an exhibition isn’t easy. Sorensen said that the majority of winter break was spent installing pieces and lighting for the show. He worked long days, spending up to eight hours at a time installing a single piece. This exhibition is the result of much time and planning. “I proposed this exhibition last spring. I spent a lot of time after that making work and thinking about how I wanted to compose it in the gallery. All of the work in the show was made in 2019.” Sorensen said, “While I had a lot more work that I could have included, I couldn’t conceptually fit it into the space, so it had to go.” Justin Sorensen’s “Familiar Shapes” is on display in the Schnormeier Gallery of the Buchwald Center from Jan. 9 to Feb. 14 and can be visited during gallery hours on weekdays from 1:00-5:00 p.m. Gallery: Professor Justin Sorensen speaks to guests at the Gallery Talk and Reception on Jan. 17 in the Schnormeier Gallery.

by Real Python devops django tools web-dev
Last time we set up a Django Project using Cookiecutter, managed the application environment via Docker, and then deployed the app to Digital Ocean. In this tutorial, we’ll shift away from Docker and detail a development to deployment workflow of a Cookiecutter-Django Project on Fedora 24.
Updates:
11/15/2016: Refactored Nginx config and updated to the latest version of Django (v1.10.3).
10/06/2016: Updated to the latest versions of Fedora (v24), cookiecutter (v1.4.0), cookiecutter-django, and Django (v1.10.1).
Development
Install cookiecutter globally and then generate a bootstrapped Django project:
$ pip install cookiecutter == 1 .4.0 $ cookiecutter https://github.com/pydanny/cookiecutter-django.git
This command runs cookiecutter with the cookiecutter-django repo, allowing us to enter project-specific details. (We named the project and the repo django_cookiecutter_fedora.)
NOTE: Check out the Local Setup section from the previous post for more information on this command as well as the generated project structure.
Before we can start our Django Project, we are still left with few steps…
Database Setup
First, we need to set up Postgres since cookiecutter-django uses it as its default database (see django_cookiecutter_fedora/config/settings/common.py for more info). Follow the steps to set up a Postgres database server, from any good resource on the Internet or just scroll down to the Deployment Section for setting it up on Fedora.
NOTE: If you’re on a Mac, check out Postgres.app.
Once the Postgres server is running, create a new database from psql that shares the same name as your project name:
$ create database django_cookiecutter_fedora ; CREATE DATABASE
NOTE: There may be some variation in the above command for creating a database based upon your version of Postgres. You can check for the correct command in Postgres’ latest documentation found here.
Dependency Setup
Next, in order to get your Django Project in a state ready for development, navigate to the root directory, create/activate a virtual environment, and then install the dependencies:
$ cd django_cookiecutter_fedora $ pyvenv-3.5 .venv $ source .venv/bin/activate $ ./utility/install_python_dependencies.sh
Sanity Check
Apply the migrations and then run the local development server:
$ python manage.py makemigrations $ python manage.py migrate $ python manage.py runserver
Ensure all is well by navigating to http://localhost:8000/ in your browser to view the Project quick start page:
Once done, kill the development server, initialize a new Git repo, commit, and git push to Github.
Deployment
With the Project setup and running locally, we can now move on to deployment where we will utilize the following tools:
Fedora 24 Setup
Set up a quick Digital Ocean droplet, making sure to use a Fedora 24 image. For help, follow this tutorial. Make sure you set up an SSH key for secure login.
Now let’s update our server. SSH into the server as root, and then fire the update process:
$ ssh root@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS # dnf upgrade
Non-Root User
Next, let’s set up a non-root user so that applications are not run under administrative privileges, which makes the system more secure.
As a root user, follow these commands to set up a non-root user:
# adduser <name-of-user> # passwd <name-of-user> Changing password for user <name-of-user>. New password: Retype new password: passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
In the above snippet we created the new, non-root user user then specified a password for said user. We now need to add this user to the administrative group so that they can run commands that require admin privileges with sudo :
# usermod <name-of-user> -a -G wheel
Exit from the server and log back in again as the non-root user. Did you notice that the shell prompt changed from a # (pound-sign) to $ (dollar-sign)? This indicates that we are logged in as a non-root user.
Required Packages
While logged in as the non-root user, download and install the following packages:
NOTE: Below we are giving our non-root user root rights (recommended!). If by any chance you wish to not give the non-root user root rights explicitly, you will have to prepend sudo keyword with every command you execute in the terminal.
$ sudo su # dnf install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-devel # dnf install python3-devel python-devel gcc nginx git
Postgres Setup
With the dependencies downloaded and installed, we just need to set up our Postgres server and create a database.
Initialize Postgres and then manually start the server:
# sudo postgresql-setup initdb # sudo systemctl start postgresql
Then log in to the Postgres server by switching ( su ) to the postgres user:
# sudo su - postgres $ psql postgres=#
Now create a Postgres user and database required for our project, making sure that the username matches the name of the non-root user:
postgres =# CREATE USER < user - name > WITH PASSWORD '<password-for-user>' ; CREATE ROLE postgres =# CREATE DATABASE django_cookiecutter_fedora ; CREATE DATABASE postgres =# GRANT ALL ON DATABASE django_cookiecutter_fedora TO < user - name > ; GRANT
NOTE: If you need help, please follow the official guide for setting up Postgres on Fedora.
Exit psql and return to your non-root user’s shell session:
postgres=# \q $ exit
When you exit from the postgres session, you will return back to your non-root user prompt. [username@django-cookiecutter-deploy ~]# .
NOTE: Did you notice the # sign at the prompt? This is now appearing because we gave our non-root user the root rights before starting off with setting up our server. If you do not see this, you either need to run sudo su again or prefix each command with sudo .
Configure Postgres so that it starts when the server boots/reboots:
# sudo systemctl enable postgresql # sudo systemctl restart postgresql
Project Setup
Clone the project structure from your GitHub repo to the /opt directory:
# sudo git clone <github-repo-url> /opt/<name of the repo>
NOTE: Want to use the repo associated with this tutorial? Simply run: $ sudo git clone https://github.com/realpython/django_cookiecutter_fedora /opt/django_cookiecutter_fedora
Dependency Setup
Next, in order to get your Django Project in a state ready for deployment, create and active a virtualenv inside your project’s root directory:
# cd /opt/django_cookiecutter_fedora/ # sudo pip3 install virtualenv # sudo pyvenv-3.5 .venv
Before activating the virtualenv, give the current, non-root user admin rights (if not given):
$ sudo su # source .venv/bin/activate
Unlike with the set up of the development environment from above, before installing the dependencies we need to install all of Pillow‘s external libraries. Check out this resource for more info.
# dnf install libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel libzip-devel freetype-devel # dnf install lcms2-devel libwebp-devel tcl-devel tk-devel
Next, we need to install one more package in order to ensure that we do not get conflicts while installing dependencies in our virtualenv.
# dnf install redhat-rpm-config
Then run:
# ./utility/install_python_dependencies.sh
Again, this will install all the base, local, and production requirements. This is just for a quick sanity check to ensure all is working. Since this is technically the production environment, we will change the environment shortly.
NOTE: Deactivate the virtualenv. Now if you issue an exit command - e.g., exit - the non-root user will no longer have root rights. Notice the change in prompt (from # to $ ). That said, the user can still activate the virtualenv. Try it!
Sanity Check (take 2)
Apply all the migrations:
$ python manage.py makemigrations $ python manage.py migrate
Now run the server:
$ python manage.py runserver 0 .0.0.0:8000
To ensure things are working fine, just visit the server’s IP address in your browser - e.g., :8000. Kill the server when done.
Gunicorn Setup
Before setting up Gunicorn, we need to make some changes to the production settings, in the /config/settings/production.py module. Take a look at the production settings here, which are the minimal settings needed for deploying our Django Project to a production server.
To update these, open the file in VI:
$ sudo vi config/settings/production.py
First, select all and delete:
:%d
And then copy the new settings and paste them into the now empty file by entering INSERT mode and then pasting. Make sure to update the ALLOWED_HOSTS variable as well (very, very important!) with your server’s IP address or hostname. Exit INSERT mode and then save and exit:
:wq
Once done, we need to add some environment variables to the .bashrc file, since the majority of the config settings come from environment variables within the production.py file.
Again, use VI to edit this file:
$ vi ~/.bashrc
Enter INSERT mode and add the following:
# Environment Variables export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = 'config.settings.production' export DJANGO_SECRET_KEY = 'CHANGEME!!!m_-0ujru4yw4@!u7048_(#1a*y_g2v3r' export DATABASE_URL = 'postgres:///django_cookiecutter_fedora'
Two things to note:
Notice how we updated the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE variable to use the production settings. It’s a good practice to change your DJANGO_SECRET_KEY to a more complex string. Do this now if you want.
Again, exit INSERT mode, and then save and exit VI.
Now just reload the .bashrc file:
$ source ~/.bashrc
Ready to test?! Inside the root directory, with the virtualenv activated, execute the gunicorn server:
$ gunicorn --bind <ip-address or hostname>:8000 config.wsgi:application
This will make our web application, again, serve on :8000.
Keep in mind that as soon as we log out of our server this command will stop and hence we would no longer be able to serve our web app. So, we have to make our gunicorn server execute as a service so that it can be started, stopped, and monitored.
Nginx Config
Follow these steps for adding a configuration file for making our Django Project serve via Nginx:
$ cd /etc/nginx/conf.d $ sudo vi django_cookiecutter_fedora.conf
Add the following, making sure to update the server , server_name , and location :
upstream app_server { server 127.0.0.1:8001 fail_timeout=0; } server { listen 80; server_name <remote-server-ip>; access_log /var/log/nginx/django_project-access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/django_project-error.log info; keepalive_timeout 5; # path for staticfiles location /static { autoindex on; alias /opt/django_cookiecutter_fedora/staticfiles/; } location / { proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_redirect off; if (!-f $request_filename) { proxy_pass http://app_server; break; } } }
Save and exit VI, and then restart the Nginx server:
$ sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
That’s it!
Gunicorn Start Script
Now let’s create a Gunicorn start script which will run as an executable, making our bootstrapped Django web application run via the Gunicorn server, routed through Nginx.
Within the project root, run:
$ sudo mkdir deploy log $ cd deploy $ sudo vi gunicorn_start
The contents of the gunicorn_start script can be found here. It is divided into 3 significant parts, which are, for the most part, self-explanatory. For any questions, please comment below.
NOTE: Make sure the USER and GROUP variables match the same user and group for the non-root user.
Paste the contents into VI, and then save and exit.
Finally, let’s make it executable:
$ sudo chmod +x gunicorn_start
Start the server:
$ sudo ./gunicorn_start
Once again visit the your server’s IP address in the browser and you will see your Django web app running!
Did you get a 502 Bad gateway error? Just follow these steps and it will probably be enough to make your application work…
Modifying SELinux Policy Rules
$ sudo dnf install policycoreutils-devel $ sudo cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep nginx | grep denied | audit2allow -M mynginx $ sudo semodule -i mynginx.pp
Once done, make sure to restart your server via Digital Ocean’s dashboard utility.
Systemd
To make our gunicorn_start script run as a system service so that, even if we are no longer logged into the server, it still serves our Django web application, we need to create a systemd service.
Just change the working directory to /etc/systemd/system, and then create a service file:
$ cd /etc/systemd/system $ sudo vi django-bootstrap.service
Add the following:
#!/bin/sh [ Unit ] Description = Django Web App After = network.target [ Service ] PIDFile = /var/run/cric.pid ExecStart = /bin/sh /opt/django_cookiecutter_fedora/deploy/gunicorn_start Restart = on-abort [ Install ] WantedBy = multi-user.target
Save and exit, and then start the service and enable it:
$ sudo systemctl start django-bootstrap.service
NOTE: If you encounter an error, run journalctl -xe to see more details.
Finally, enable the service so that it runs forever and restarts on arbitrary shut downs:
$ sudo systemctl enable django-bootstrap.service
Sanity Check (final!)
Check for the status of the service:
$ sudo systemctl status django-bootstrap.service
Now just visit your server’s IP address (or hostname) and you will see a Django error page. To fix this, run the following command in your project’s root directory (with your virtualenv activated):
$ python manage.py collectstatic
Now you are good to go, and you will see the Django web app running on the web browser with all the static files (HTML/CSS/JS) files working.

Vincent Foster (left) and his wife, Lisa, with then-governor Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton in 1988. Associated Press/Arkansas Democrat Gazette. (Arkansas Democrat Gazette via Associated Press)
The writer served on the Federal Trade Commission from 1997 to 2003.
It is beyond contempt that a politician would use a family tragedy to further his candidacy, but such is the character of Donald Trump displayed in his recent comments to The Washington Post. In this interview, Trump cynically, crassly and recklessly insinuated that my brother, Vincent W. Foster Jr., may have been murdered because “he had intimate knowledge of what was going on” and that Hillary Clinton may have somehow played a role in Vince’s death.
How wrong. How irresponsible. How cruel.
“There are people who continue to bring it up because they think it was absolutely a murder,” Trump said in response to a question about Vince’s death.
The subject of Clinton White House deputy counsel Vince Foster's death should not "be part of the campaign," GOP candidate Donald Trump told reporters in Bismarck, N.D. May 26. Trump had earlier told The Washington Post there was something "very fishy" about Foster's death. (Reuters)
Trump was canny enough to hedge — he’s not the one raising questions, he said, but others have. He noted that Vince “knew everything that was going on, and then all of a sudden he committed suicide.” The circumstances of Vince’s death, he observed, were “very fishy” and the theories about possible foul play “very serious.”
This is scurrilous enough coming from right-wing political operatives who have peddled conspiracy theories about Vince’s death for more than two decades. How could this be coming from the presumptive Republican nominee for president?
Five investigations, including by independent counsels Robert B. Fiske Jr. and Kenneth Starr, concluded that Vince suffered from severe depression that caused him to be unable to sleep, unable to work, unable to think straight, and finally to take his own life.
I know this to be true because Vince lived with me when he came to Washington to serve as deputy counsel to the president. This is a grueling job in any administration, especially so at the start, and in the case of the Clinton White House, the counsel’s office — and Vince — were consumed with problems, including over the firing of employees in the White House travel office.
Vince and I were very close siblings — I was the older, by four years and two months — and there was not much we didn’t share with one another. After about three months, his family rented out their Little Rock home and Vince moved with them to a small Georgetown house.
Vince called me at my office in the Justice Department a few days before he died. He told me he was battling depression and knew he needed help. But he was worried that such an admission would adversely affect his top-level security clearance and prevent him from doing his job.
I told him I would try to find a psychiatrist who could help him and protect his privacy. After a few phone calls, I gave him three names. That list was found in his wallet with his body at Fort Marcy Park in McLean. I did not see a suicide coming, yet when I was told that Vince was dead I knew that he had killed himself. Never for a minute have I doubted that was what happened.

Carlo Allegri/Reuters Buy Photo Wait 1 second to continue.
I think Vince felt he was a failure, this brilliant man who had so many talents, had achieved so many honors and was so well-respected by his peers. He must have felt that he couldn’t stay in his job at the White House, and he couldn’t go back to Little Rock. He was so ill, he couldn’t see a way out.
A few months after Vince’s death, I began to see alarming reports in the news articles distributed throughout the Justice Department each day. These clips, which began appearing in newspapers across the country, were similar, as though written by a single source.
This was the beginning of the countless conspiracy theories spun by those who claimed that the Clintons had Vince murdered because he knew something about Whitewater, the real estate transaction that became the subject of the Fiske and Starr investigations. Repeat something enough times and in enough venues, I guess, and people begin to question their own good sense.
These outrageous suggestions have caused our family untold pain because this issue went on for so long and these reports were so painful to read. For years, our family had to wage a court fight to prevent release of photographs of Vince’s dead body. My heartbroken mother was plagued by harassing phone calls from a reporter.
Through all this time I have not spoken publicly about this matter, out of an effort to maintain our family’s privacy. I am now, because The Post sought my reaction. I have donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign but have not had contact with anyone at the campaign about my decision to go public.
For Trump to raise these theories again for political advantage is wrong. I cannot let such craven behavior pass without a response. | positive |
SUBJECTS:
Ten patients who had long-term disturbances in body weight regulation, were referred over a 3-year period for obesity evaluation, and reported low energy intakes (< 1,200 kcal/day).
OBJECTIVE:
To ascertain whether these patients had a low energy expenditure and thus reduced energy requirement, and/or whether they were misreporting their energy intake.
DESIGN:
Comparison of outcome measures in referred patients and in obese control patients who did not report low energy intakes and disturbances in body weight regulation.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Low energy expenditure was evaluated with serum thyroid hormone levels, resting metabolic rate (RMR), thermic effect of food (TEF), and total energy expenditure (TEE) by doubly labeled water technique. Misreporting of energy intake was evaluated by comparing patients' self-reported energy intake with energy intake estimated by doubly labeled water and body composition analyses over a 14-day period.
STATISTICAL ANALYSES PERFORMED:
Low energy expenditure was considered present in a patient if RMR or TEE was more than 15% below predicted values according to results from the control group. Patient group TEF was compared with TEF results observed in the control group.
RESULTS:
All patients had normal serum thyroid hormone levels. Eight patients had RMR and TEE values within 15% of predicted values and were substantially underreporting their energy intake. One patient had low TEE (-19%) and a normal RMR, a finding that implies a low level of physical activity. This patient also underreported energy intake as estimated by the doubly labeled water technique during the study (-38%). The 10th patient had a low RMR (-23.2%) and TEE (-25.0%), the mechanism of which was uncertain. This patient's reported food intake over the 14-day period was accurate but was less than her long-term intake over months or years as suggested by doubly labeled water TEE estimates. The TEF response in patients was not significantly different from that observed in the control group.
CONCLUSIONS:
Underreporting of energy intake from foods is a frequent finding in patients with disturbances in body weight regulation who are referred for obesity evaluation. Severe underreporting may be detectable by means of screening measures available to most dietitians. Low energy expenditure, due either to physical inactivity or to metabolic factors, is also observed. Modern evaluation methods provide new insights into patients with weight regulatory disturbances and at the same time stimulate important new research questions. | positive |
Highlights of the European Council on 18-19 February 2016; EU leaders reached a deal on Britain in Europe
Discussions at the European Council were dominated by the deal with the UK and the ongoing migration and refugee crisis. They also discussed the situation in Syria and Libya.
The European Council began with a statement condemning the terrorist attacks in Ankara. EU leaders extend their deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims and express their solidarity with the people of Turkey.
I deeply believe that the UK needs Europe, and Europe needs the UK. To break the link now would be totally against our mutual interests. We have done all we could not to let that happen. Donald Tusk, President of the European Council
Britain in the European Union
Following intense negotiations, EU leaders achieved a deal which strengthens Britain's special status in the EU. It is a legally binding and irreversible decision by all 28 leaders. The settlement addresses all of Prime Minister Cameron's concerns without compromising EU fundamental values.
At the December 2015 European Council, the European Council agreed to find mutually satisfactory solutions in four areas of concern at its February meeting:
competitiveness
economic governance
sovereignty
social benefits and free movement
On 2 February 2016, President Donald Tusk put forward a proposal for a new settlement addressing all these concerns. The proposal served as the basis for negotiations during the meeting.
The following timeline gives an overview of key events in the negotiation process.
Migration
EU leaders adopted conclusions on the migration and refugee crisis. The debate focused on the latest developments since leaders last met in December but also on the necessity to build a European consensus on migration.
They also confirmed their intention to organise a special meeting with Turkey in the beginning of March.
Click on the image to access the interactive map (available in English and French only)
Discussions focused on:
progress made in the implementation of the EU-Turkey Action Plan but also the need to see a substantial and sustainable reduction of the number of illegal entries from Turkey
but also the need to see a substantial and sustainable reduction of the number of illegal entries from Turkey humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees, including in the Western Balkans countries
to Syrian refugees, including in the Western Balkans countries external border management
the need to gradually get back to a situation where all Members of the Schengen area fully apply the Schengen Borders Code
the requirement for hotspots to be fully functional
to be fully functional the implementation of decisions on relocation, returns and readmission
The timeline outlines the main measures taken by the EU, together with the member states, over the last few months.

Hey everyone!I just saw this morning a press release by Anonymous. Now I know that Anon as a group can cause many reactions, people can be very supportive of them or hate them altogether. However, this press release, along with every external link they give,and the things they say, actually shows 100% what the situation in Greece is like right now, and how desperate people are. We are experiencing shock and awe, and Anonymous seem to get it. This is their formal press release:source: taxitzhs.blogspot.com... "Greetings world, this is the first press release by #OpGreece. We want to raise awareness of the critical situation in Greece, and about our existence. We want to raise the awareness not only of Greeks within Greece, but Greek expatriates, you who are of Greek descent and the entire world.We all saw the UC spray cop right? And the Tony Bologna spraying of young women in New York Yes? Well if that shocked you, here it is a daily routine. Greek citizens who peacefully protest receive this treatment almost EVERY week yet no one is responding to the acts of violence happening in this country.Last month Greek police sprayed disabled people in wheel chairs, two months ago they attacked civilians who were only protesting peacefully – just walking and not even shouting – The police were throwing tear gas and stones and hitting them with sticks and iron rods. Three months ago the same thing and even hit reporters and whoever held a camera.Now, as we write these words, the internet is being threatened by Makis Voridis, a person who in the 70′s and 80′s belonged into a group similar to KKK and is currently a member of the fascist party in Greece. Voridis is now in charge of the internet. A week after his «election» (he was elected by politicians and not by the people), blogs for freedom of speech were shut down, accounts on Facebook – mainly activists, anons, anarchists, communists and trolls – were deleted. Now Voridis and his cronies are planning to censor all the ISP’s so they will know when an «act of terrorism» is being generated by the public. Any political discourse that is not their flavor of fascism is considered «TERRORISM»So yeah, this is Greece right now.We need your help!Here are some links that will help you understand Greece’s curretn situation:- Athens 29-06-2011 Greek police attack against greek citizens in Syntagma square.- A man tells the police «get off this square and please don’t hit me» the cop not only hits the guy but breaks his skull on cam.- The new minister in charge for the internet, the 1st words he says «I agree that fights are being done by the people but not using rods sticks and helmets» the next picture is him holding an axe during his time in the KKK-like group he was. this man is currently in charge for the internet in Greece and is a member of the Fascist party. He wasn’t elected by us but by the government it self.DO YOU NEED MORE LINKS?ok.- More info about Makis Voridis- Videos by #OpGreece, #OpSupportGreece and people attending the riots and protests www.youtube.com... #!- Pictures of Police brutality during the protests and riotsSo what is really going on in Greece right now? Why all this violence?It all started when the ex Prime-Minister of Greece George Papandreou started to cut off the people’s payments and adding more austerity measures. The media helped spread a propaganda as if the people of Greece really had to do something with the money the government used for their own benefits.NO. The Greek citizens have been poor for almost 2 years now and they’re getting poorer day by day.The government spend this money in luxury products such as cars, houses and land.For more info about this google these words individually: Vatopedi, Siemens scandal in Greece, Greek wiretapping case 2004.So what is happening right now in Greece?- People pay more taxes even though they cannot afford it- Pensions have been cut off, so the elderly cannot even afford their medicine, rent and bills- People are getting evicted due to loans- Electricity company forces people to pay a lot more than they’re supposed to, either wise they shut down their power at home- Banks are in charge- Media spread propaganda and not covering the true stories such as, protests, riots, deaths, beating, police brutality, political scandals etc- Getting a job is rare and even if you find one, the payment is not enough- Stores are shutting down- Homes are being abandoned- People are living Greece to find a better life abroad- Kids are fainting from starvation: www.newsit.gr... - Junkies and homeless people use used up needles to get infected with AIDS so they can get the 700 Euros the state is forced to pay on their expenses: parganews.com...

We need your help to be heard and raise awareness to the world.for the Greek links, simply use Google translate.We are AnonymousWe are LegionWe do not ForgetWe do not ForgiveExpect us.In the name of #OpGreece"Unfortunately, what Anon are describing is the brutal truth. We have been fooled by our governments, and the existent government right now wants to shut us up. We need as much help as we can get, and I personally thank Anonymous for standing by us and trying to protect us whichever way they can. See for yourselves. | positive |

Five of the world’s top orchestras, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, are teaming with Google to distribute music online.
The list reads like an all-star team from the classical world: the New York Philharmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the BSO are joining forces to start releasing live recordings through Google Play Music, the digital distribution giant’s online music store.
Recordings can be streamed for free by Google Play Music subscribers ($9.99 a month). They can also be purchased for individual downloads. (This is the classical site.)
The BSO's original entries will be Bartók's "The Miraculous Mandarin," Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 and Brahms's "Haydn Variations."
On the phone from New York, shortly before the announcement was made at a press conference, BSO managing director Mark Volpe said the Classical Live initiative, as it’s called, represents a new paradigm for the genre: “In an ever more cluttered marketplace cutting through the noise gets more and more difficult. For us partnering with the largest digital distributor of content goes beyond what we can reach by ourselves.”
Volpe added that it’s rare to see this number of competitive orchestras team up in this way: “Bringing five orchestras together is part of the intriguing dimension of this ... that we’re collectively supporting each other — it’s almost like gestalt — together I think we’re stronger than we are individually.”
This collaboration comes in the wake of a deal the BSO cut in April with the old guard classical music record label Deutsche Grammophon to create a series of live Shostakovich symphonies slated for May 2016. | positive |

Medibank Private: Government announces sale through IPO, subject to market conditions
Updated
The Federal Government and Opposition are at odds over the merits of the proposed sale of Medibank Private, including whether it will lead to a rise in insurance premiums.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann has announced the government-owned company will be sold through an initial public offering in the next financial year, 2014-15.
The Opposition believes the insurer should stay in public hands and has raised concerns about premium increases and the future of Medibank Private employees.
Senator Cormann said the details were yet to be finalised but that an independent scoping study had found no evidence that premiums would rise as a result of the privatisation.
The Government has previously said it wanted to sell Medibank Private at the "right time" to maximise the sale price.
But Senator Cormann would not say how much he thought the insurer was worth.
"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to speculate on what sale price may or may not be achieved," he said.
"I'm not going to put a figure on it. Obviously, our objective is to maximise net proceeds from the sale."
He said that no one investor would be able to buy more than a 15 per cent share in the insurer, as stipulated in the Medibank Sale Act passed by Parliament in 2006.
Medibank was valued then by the Howard government at more than $4 billion, but the price has more recently been estimated at around half that.
Whatever the proceeds, Senator Cormann said the Government wanted to spend the earnings on infrastructure.
"Our stated intention is to recycle the capital that is freed up from the sale of Medibank to invest in productivity-enhancing infrastructure," he said.
But the proposed infrastructure would be revealed only in the May 13 budget, he added.
The Minister also left open the possibility that the timing of the sale could shift, depending on the market.
"We of course need to maintain some flexibility in particular with a focus on evolving market conditions," Senator Cormann said.
"We'll make a judgment and when we're satisfied that the most appropriate window for sale is present ... then we'll move ahead."
Labor raises concerns about impact on staff, policy holders
Labor's health spokeswoman Catherine King said the Opposition has concerns about the impact on the insurer's 4,000 staff members and its 3.8 million policy holders.
"It's really up to the Government to guarantee that this won't lead to an increase in private health insurance premiums," she said.
"And counter to that I would actually say it's up to them to show people that it in fact will lead to downward pressure on private health insurance premiums."
The Opposition also said the sale would increase the budget deficit, because the Government would lose Medibank's annual dividend payment of up to half a billion dollars.
It would also not, under budget rules, be able to mark the eventual sale price as a budget gain.
Medibank's chairwoman, Elizabeth Alexander, has welcomed the Government's decision.
"To our many customers, please be assured we remain focused on delivering excellent value and service," she said in a statement.
Senator Cormann said the scoping study had confirmed the Coalition's view that there was no "compelling" reason for the Government to be in the health insurance business.
He said it also would remove the "inherent conflict" posed by the Government's involvement as both market regulator and market participant.
Senator Cormann said the Government wanted to ensure that Medibank customer service and staff did not suffer as a result of the sale, emphasising that it wanted employee entitlements to be retained.

When we think of "budget" phones, a $500 Galaxy S III may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, MetroPCS' usual strategy of having customers buy phones off contract and save money on the service is in full swing here. The device comes with a hefty price tag up front, but pick up the carrier's $50/month plan for unlimited talk, text, and 2.5GB of data, and you're looking at around $1700 over the course of 2 years. Compare that to, say an $80/month plan with a $200 device ($2120 over two years) and you could face some steep savings. Not bad.
Samsung's premiere handset will be coming to MetroPCS on October 22nd, available both in stores and on the carrier's website. Hopefully you've already been saving your pennies. As we said, you can certainly save money over the course of two years, but that initial price tag is going to set you back a bit.
MetroPCS Blends First Class Smartphone and No Annual Contract 4G LTE Service with Availability of Samsung Galaxy S III
Samsung’s Best-Selling and Feature-Rich Android Smartphone Brings Premium Choice to 4G LTE Line-up
DALLAS (October 19, 2012) – The wait is over for consumers looking for the Galaxy S® III from Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) without being shackled to a lengthy wireless commitment. MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE: PCS) announced today that it is offering consumers more choice and value as the only no annual contract 4GLTE wireless service provider to offer the Galaxy S III, Samsung’s best-selling premium Android™ smartphone. The Galaxy S III will be available in select stores this weekend, and in all MetroPCS stores and online at www.metropcs.com beginning Monday, October 22.
Together, the Samsung Galaxy S III and MetroPCS’ 4GLTE service plans deliver an unmatched value to consumers unwilling to compromise on handset or service. Priced at $499 plus tax, the Galaxy S III is available on any of MetroPCS’ affordable 4GLTE service plans, which range from $30 - $70 per month, including the limited-time promotional plans of 4G LTE for $30 or unlimited talk, text and 4GLTE data for $55 per month (taxes and regulatory fees included). When comparing total costs of both the smartphone and rate plans with other 4G LTE operators, consumers can save approximately $1,200 or more over the course of two years (based on MetroPCS’ current $55 4GLTE rate plan).
“We are excited to make the Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone available to our no annual contract subscribers,” said Tom Keys, president and chief operating officer of MetroPCS. “With roughly one million 4G LTE customers already, we recognize that many want a premier smartphone that offers an array of high-end features and runs on our 4G LTE network. Available with any of our 4G LTE service plans, this smartphone offers a postpaid experience at a tremendous value to our consumers.”
Not merely for consumers who demand more affordability than ever, the feature rich Galaxy S III at MetroPCS makes it easy for people to share content and experiences, quickly navigate applications and support a multitude of tasks.

Turkish Embassy Deplores ‘Prejudiced’ U.S. Media, Rolls Out Official Coup Documentary
Decrying a spate of negative press coverage, the Turkish Embassy in Washington made its case to reporters Friday that Ankara has not abused its authority in the wake of a failed coup, screening a slick, government-produced documentary that shows tanks running over protesters and fighter jets strafing a city.
Much of the film appeared to be taken from security cameras perched on buildings or from international TV news clips, including footage of a soldier shooting a civilian at point-blank range.
“Please give the benefit of the doubt to a government that has barely survived the worst attack on Turkish democracy in its history,” Turkish Ambassador to the United States Serdar Kilic said, citing the deaths of 246 people and the injuries of more than 2,000.
“There is a prejudice that President Erdogan and the government of Turkey is trying to take advantage of the attempted coup.”
In recent days, Turkey has suspended, detained, or placed under investigation more than 60,000 judges, soldiers, police, civil servants, and teachers suspected of ties with accused coup plotter Fethullah Gulen, a cleric living in the United States. Western governments and rights activists have raised concerns that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s crackdown may be extending beyond the coup plotters and targeting his political opponents — a charge Kilic denied.
“If it was the case” that Erdogan was exploiting the coup to crack down on the political opposition, “then not all the political parties would stand with the government in their fight against this terrorist organization,” he said, noting statements by Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party, the Peoples’ Democratic Party, and the Nationalist Movement Party condemning the coup attempt by a faction of the military.
Kilic repeatedly referred to the Gulen movement as a terrorist organization and said his government would continue pressing the United States to extradite the Pennsylvania-based religious cleric. When asked if Ankara submitted a formal extradition request to the Washington, he said officials “submitted the necessary documentation” to U.S. authorities.
Secretary of State John Kerry has said the United States will consider any extradition request for Gulen from Turkey but that Washington’s decision will be based on the strength of the evidence. “Obviously, we would invite the government of Turkey, as we always do, to present us with any legitimate evidence that withstands scrutiny,” Kerry said earlier this week. “And the United States will accept that and look at it and make judgments about it appropriately.”
When James Clapper, the U.S. director of national intelligence, was asked on Thursday if allegations that Gulen orchestrated the coup attempt passed the “smell test,” Clapper told the Washington Post “No. Not to me.”
When asked if Turkey had evidence directly linking Gulen to the coup, Kilic stated that a “number of plotters who have been apprehended” have “confessed direct links” to Gulen. He said the confessions would be publicized at some point but did not give a specific date.
Asked how far the purges might go, Kilic said: “If you ask my opinion, it should go to the extent possible until the point where we can ensure that no attempt again will be orchestrated against the Turkish democratic system of government.” | positive |

Ahhh Gordon’s. The venerable old name bearer of classic London Dry Gin has taken aim at the burgeoning world of contemporary gin with their new Gordon’s Crisp Cucumber.
Gordon’s predictably is a little conservative in their approach. Rather than tacking a radical approach at infusing some wildly novel botanical, they take on an oldie, but a classic. Cucumber is in some of the most popular [Miller’s, Hendrick’s] newer gins and therefore to only the stodgiest gin drinker whose tuned out the last decade or so will cucumber sound “new” or “exotic.”
But that doesn’t mean it can’t be good. Just because it’s been done, doesn’t mean it can’t be done better. So can Gordon’s, a torchbearer for gin’s classic style for the better part of 3 centuries take a step outside their box and make a good gin with cucumber?
Tasting Nose
Cucumber and citrus on the nose. A tad lemon, but there’s a nice bit of juniper in here. But Gordon’s Crisp Cucumber is clearly not regular Gordon’s. That faint vegetable note, although sweet, might be enough to push folks out of the comfort zone.
Taste is weak and slightly sweet at first, culminating rapidly with a flash of heat and juniper. The middle is where a lot of the traditional gin notes lie. A little bit of coriander, and some earthiness, a bit citrus. It’s nice. The finish is cooling, rather quiet but leaves a long lingering note of cucumber and juniper. Finishes quite smooth, but at 37.5% alcohol, you might expect this a little. A little bit of bitterness on the long finish.
Cocktails
The promo material for Gordon’s crisp cucumber proudly states that it’s meant to be mixed with tonic. So of course that’s where I’m going to give it a try first. The cucumber comes out really nicely in a Gin and Tonic actually. Just adding a hint of sweetness, and a bright note of juniper. It really maintains a lot of that London Dry formula but with the added sweetness of cucumber. Quite nice, and understated. The cucumber is in nice balance.
Folks who like the idea of a martini but don’t like a lot of power might like this. Basically it would make a really easy sipping martini almost on its own. It doesn’t pack a lot of punch, so it can be overpowered in drinks, though I find that the flavor of the cucumber comes through somewhat even still.
My only objection on the cucumber note might be that it’s a tad too sweet. But that being said, it’s a very appealing and inviting flavor. I actually think it goes with Gordon’s quite nicely.
Overall, Gordon’s Crisp Cucumber
I was pleasantly surprised by Gordon’s cucumber. The flavors were nice, although a bit more on the sweet side. I could see this being a great gateway gin or a gin which could show how a contemporary can be added without compromising a traditional base. It’s so easy to drink that I could see myself drinking this in almost any situation.

The genesis of Baroda took place in the 1830s when people began settling in the area. It was not an easy task, as swamps had to be drained and the land had to be cleared. Then came the process of building homes and farmland. The man responsible for founding the town was Michael B. Houser, who originally named it after himself: 'Houser'. It was his desire to build a town of his own, so he sought the proper authorities to get a railroad station put on the land. In his anxiousness to get his new town going, he made a generous offer: a free lot to anyone who would come and build a store, shop, or other business building that was valued at $500 or more. Okay, but how much did it cost for a plot of land for a house? Just $35. Get our free mobile app As to the name change to 'Baroda', there are two theories that are mentioned in different recollections: 1) The post office rejected the name of 'Houser' 2) Michael did not want the town named after him in the long run Either way, the name was changed to 'Baroda', after a city in India. But why? Why a town in India? That answer escapes me. The post office opened in December 1890. The village was incorporated in 1907. Township was organized in 1923. Driving through Baroda in the 2000s, you'll cruise the main drag with a good smattering of original old buildings mixed with a few newer ones, and seemingly little traffic.

At a US Intelligence Committee hearing this afternoon, Sen. Barbara Mikulski confronted FBI Director James Comey with some real talk about the strange shitstorm of tech failures today: The New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines, and the Wall Street Journal all went down, citing technical difficulties.
“I don’t believe in coincidences,” Mikulski said. “Is the FBI investigating these as breaches?”

“We’re not big believers in coincidence either,” Comey said... before insisting that this was, in fact, a coincidence. “We’ve been in contact with all three companies to see what’s going on. We don’t see a connection to a cyber breach or cyberattack.”
Comey cited an overwhelming flood of interest in the NYSE meltdown as the reason for the Wall Street Journal’s technical failure.
In another coincidence, the United States Government Accountability Office published a summary of a study today calling for the need for stronger protections for federal agencies in the face of increased cyberattacks and data breaches.

Facebook is seeking intelligence. Artificial intelligence, that is.
The company is reportedly moving forward with a new research laboratory intended to "bring about major changes in artificial intelligence." Yann LeCun, a New York University professor of computer and neural sciences, posted about the new laboratory on Facebook and Google+.
LeCun's post also includes news of a partnership between Facebook and NYU's Center for Data Science intended to carry out research in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. He added that Mark Zuckerberg would announce the new laboratory on Monday at a conference in the Lake Tahoe area.
Facebook first formed the AI team, which currently has eight members, in September. The social network responded to Mashable's request for comment by highlighting the comments Zuckerberg made during Facebook's last earnings call in October.
"The goal here is to use new approaches in AI to help make sense of all the content that people share so we can generate new insights about the world to answer people’s questions," he said. "Over time, I think it’s going to be possible to build services that are much more natural to interact with and can help solve many more problems than any existing technology today."
With millions of users actively sharing personal information to Facebook, it's easy to envision the role machine learning could play in deciphering this data. Facebook routinely talks about putting the right content, including ad, in front of the right people. Artificial intelligence could help the company achieve better results for targeted ads and news feed improvements.
LeCun claims the new group will have teams in multiple offices, including New York, London and Menlo Park, Calif. The news was first reported AllThingsD.

Lucid and Ross selected for U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame
Two distinguished former NASA astronauts -- Shannon Lucid and Jerry Ross -- will be inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame as the 2014 class, officials announced Friday. Lucid, the only American woman to serve aboard the Russian space station Mir, and Ross is the first human to complete seven space shuttle missions.

Their selection as the 2014 inductees was announced today at the new Space Shuttle Atlantis attraction at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex by Dan Brandenstein, chairman of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation and himself a four-time shuttle astronaut and Hall of Fame member. Lucid and Ross will be inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame at 3 p.m. May 3 during a ceremony at the Visitor Complex, joining the ranks of well-known space explorers such as Alan Shepard, John Glenn, John Young, Neil Armstrong and Sally Ride. "Shannon Lucid and Jerry Ross are extraordinary astronauts who made history as very important and frequent crewmembers in shuttle missions," Brandenstein said. "We are looking forward to honoring their accomplishments and sharing their tremendous life stories at the May 3 induction." Lucid and Ross were selected by NASA to become astronauts within two years of each other; Lucid in 1978 and Ross in 1980. Now retired, both achieved honorable milestones throughout their careers with NASA. Lucid joined the first U.S. astronaut class to include women and held the record until 2007 for the most flight hours in orbit by a female astronaut (5,354 hours, or 223 days). Ross was the first to break the world record for being the first human launched into space seven times. Past inductees were part of the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs. Welcoming Lucid and Ross marks the thirteenth group of space shuttle astronauts named to the Astronaut Hall of Fame. The addition of these two accomplished astronauts brings the total number of members to 87. In 2013, space shuttle astronauts Curt Brown, Eileen Collins and Bonnie Dunbar were inducted. Shannon Lucid, a Ph.D., is a veteran of five space flights. She boarded space shuttle Discovery on June 17, 1985, for her first mission, STS-51G. On this mission, the crew deployed and retrieved the Spartan satellite along with several other communication satellites. On March 22, 1996, Lucid launched aboard STS-76 Atlantis toward the Russian Space Station Mir. She spent 188 days working as Board Engineer 2 on life and physical science experiments. Lucid is the only American woman to have served on the Mir. President Clinton presented Lucid with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in December 1996 for her mission to Mir, making her the first woman to receive this award. Lucid's other missions include STS-34 Atlantis, STS-43 Atlantis and STS-58 Columbia. After serving on Mir, Lucid became NASA's Chief Scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington D.C. She then went on to serve as a CAPCOM in Mission Control, helping her fellow astronauts in space. Lucid retired from NASA in January 2012. Jerry Ross, a retired United States Air Force colonel, entered active duty with the Air Force in 1972 and became a payload officer/flight controller at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in 1979. Ross flew as a mission specialist for six of his record-holding seven flights to space and logged 1,393 hours in space, including 58 hours, 18 minutes during nine spacewalks. Ross spent a considerable amount of time between 1998 and 2002 working on the International Space Station (ISS). Endeavour launched the first ISS assembly mission, STS-88, on Dec. 4, 1998. It was a 12-day mission during which Ross completed three spacewalks and aided in connecting umbilicals between the U.S. Unity module and the unmanned Russian Zarya module. Five of Ross's seven flights were flown on space shuttle Atlantis. In between his first launch into space on Nov. 26, 1986, aboard STS-61B Atlantis, and his last on April 8, 2002, with STS-110 Atlantis, he also flew on STS-27 Atlantis, STS-37 Atlantis, STS-55 Columbia and STS-74 Atlantis. Throughout his career, Ross received 15 NASA medals and was awarded the American Astronautical Society's Victor A. Prather Award for his numerous spacewalking achievements. From 2003 until his retirement from NASA in January 2012, Ross served as chief of the Vehicle Integration Test Office at Johnson Space Center. "Spacewalker: My Journey in Space and Faith as NASA's Record-Setting Frequent Flyer" is Ross' recently published autobiography. | positive |

Defensive tackle Tyrunn Walker didn’t see a ton of playing time for the Saints last season, but he did well with what he got by recording 19 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 306 snaps up front for New Orleans.
It looks like he’ll have a chance to parley that into a deal with a new team. Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports that the Saints aren’t planning to make a tender offer to the impending restricted free agent, although they would be open to a return at a price below the $1.54 million minimum tender.
That’s not particularly surprising, given the Saints’ cap situation calls for them to cut money rather than add it at the moment, but it also wouldn’t be terribly surprising if they don’t get that chance with a 25-year-old who could fit into a rotation for either a 3-4 or 4-3 team and showed improvement in his third season with the Saints.
Running back Travaris Cadet and offensive tackle Bryce Harris are the other two impending restricted free agents in New Orleans and Triplett suggests they’ll wind up in the same boat as Walker. | positive |
It’s one of the easiest hashtag jokes to make on Twitter, although it’s debatable whether it was ever even funny in the first place. Now agency DDB New York is trying to stamp out #firstworldproblems altogether. Or at least make you think about them in another way.
While taken individually #FirstWorldProblems jokes may seem innocuous, but according to DDB New York, there are approximately five of the tweets per second. The cumulative effect of seeing so many of them so frequently creates an online atmosphere with neither the sensitivity nor awareness to deal with the serious social problems that lay on the other side of the gags. In response, the agency partnered with the nonprofit organization WATERisLIFE in an effort to harness the hashtag in the service of those who are suffering from other, less hilarious, kinds of problems.
Recently, members of the agency traveled with a film crew to Haiti and filmed a variety of locals reading aloud a series of #FirstWorldProblem tweets. In total, 30 of these custom response videos were made, and DDB New York has since been tweeting them right back to the original #FirstWorldProblems authors.
“I’m sorry you were awoken by your cleaning lady. I hope today is better,” one of the Haitian responders says. Additionally, these messages close with a call to action, asking the joke makers to donate money to WATERisLIFE, which goes toward creating water solutions and rebuilding communities. Then perhaps next time, they’ll just stick to posting Family Guy quotes or making jokes that end in “That’s What She Said.”

Inklings and Notions: 10 Myths of Teen Dating Inklings and Notions Pages Home Beauty: Redeemed Saturday, October 22, 2016 10 Myths of Teen Dating Few topics are more difficult for parents to discuss with their daughters than dating and relationships. Due to their lack of knowledge about the world their teens face coupled with the scant dating information they received as teens, many parents feel ill-equiped to guide their daughters through the minefield that is teen dating. In The 10 Myths of Teen Dating, this father and daughter team combines the latest scientific research with poignant, personal stories to help parents engage their daughters in wise conversations. Weaving in solid biblical truths with practical application and discussion starters, Daniel and Jacquelyn seek to equip parents to teach their daughters how to date for today … and tomorrow. My thoughts: If you have a young daughter, then this book is for you! I love that the myths were compiled by a father/daughter team, both of whom teach, so they have a front row seat to watching teen dating in the present time. Really though, a lot of these myths are great for girls of all ages who are in the dating scene. I like that they not only approach it from a dad's point of view, but also offering insight for the single mother too. This book is an excellent resource to help your daughter develop her interests and character outside of dating, so as to help her make smart decisions when dating and to realize that she is worth so much more than whether or not she has a boyfriend. I received this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest review.

Rob Thomas knows his way around writing a hit. Over his 22-year career with Matchbox Twenty and as a solo artist, the singer has topped the charts with songs like “3 a.m.” and “Lonely No More,” lent his chops to artists including Tom Petty and Willie Nelson, and, of course, co-wrote and sang on “Smooth,” the 1999 Santana song that Billboard deemed the second-most popular in the history of the Hot 100.
But he’s not resting on his laurels. The artist is back this week with a new single, “Trust You,” which is premiering on EW—and he’s also gearing up for The Great Unknown, his first solo album since 2009. For the record, Thomas recruited other songwriting pros to help him out. “I’d never done that before, tried to actually work with other people for my record,” Thomas tells EW on the phone, as he drives to his first rehearsal for his upcoming tour. “I usually work with other people for their records. I just wanted to do something a little different and not go back to the same well.” Among Thomas’ cast of collaborators is Ryan Tedder, the OneRepublic frontman whose writing credits include Taylor Swift’s “Welcome to New York,” Beyoncé’s “Halo,” and Adele’s “Rumour Has It.”
EW caught up with Thomas to talk about his new music, why he never recorded “Smooth 2,” and what’s in store for the 20th anniversary of Matchbox Twenty’s debut.
[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/206406468?secret_token=s-zqvdv" params="visual=true&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="450" iframe="true" /]
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You co-wrote “Trust You” with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who’s also worked with Beyonce, Adele, and Kelly Clarkson. How’d you decide to work with him?
ROB THOMAS: He’s worked with everyone. He’s literally the most prolific writer I’ve ever known in my life. OneRepublic opened up for me solo one year. We’re both songwriters, we’re around the same age—he’s a little younger. We hit it off, we had a lot of the same ideals. He was kind of the only person on my list [of collaborators]. He was the first person on my list and he was really hard to get. I had to figure out a way to get out on the road and meet him, because he never stays still. He’s like a shark.
Is there a story behind “Trust You”?
We started off with this ‘Wooo-ooo-ooo-woo’ thing. We were thinking like a version of the Stones’ “Miss You.” And so we started with this beat, but then all of a sudden we came up with this line, “trust you.” Everyone I know, even the most put-together people, have that one person that calls them up and that no matter what, they know that the night is going to end with a bunch of bad decisions. They have one person who has all this power over them—everybody has that friend. So this is about that one friend that you have, that no matter how steady you think you are in life, when they call you you’re going to say yes and things are going to go horribly wrong in a really fun way.
What can you reveal about the forthcoming album—is “Trust You” a good indication of how it’ll sound?
It’s hard to say. I think it does bind together. I like to think that this record is a little bit more like the first solo record that I did, more than my second one. But because I come from the Matchbox world and I write with a lot of other people, I think that when I put together a record I still want to make it kind of diverse. I don’t want it to feel like it’s a one-trick pony for 12 songs. I like to get a little bit of as many things that I’m kind of into at that time, the different styles.
I worked with Shep [Goodman] and Aaron [Accetta] that [co-write and produce] all the American Authors stuff, which kind of gives this a whole different vibe than what I’m used to doing. I did some stuff with [electronic hip-hop artist] Wallpaper., a couple songs, and he actually came in and worked with [“Smooth” and “Lonely No More” producer] Matt Serletic on a song called “I Think We’d Feel Good Together.” It’s kind of all over the place, with a fair amount of stuff that I wrote myself but then me kind of farming out the people, just “I really like what you do, and I want to get a little piece of that magic.”
Sixteen years ago your Santana collaboration “Smooth” took over the charts. It didn’t just dominate that year—a couple years ago Billboard ranked it as the #2 song in the history of the Hot 100. Sixteen years later, what do you think of that song when you hear it?
It’s really funny. I think just like the rest of the world I went through a little period where I put a moratorium on it and didn’t listen to it for a long time, because I got so tired of hearing it. But then I went back and listened to it again not too long ago and it still holds up. I think it’s a testament to how it was recorded. It was recorded live, with that amazing Carlos band, all these guys who have played with like Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter. The sound of it, it still sounds fresh—but I think I got sick of it just like everybody else.
It was just this great moment where I was coming off of the first Matchbox record that had a lot of success to it. And this was like the first thing that I had ever done. I wasn’t going to perform it, I was just going to write it and hopefully somebody else was going to do it. I was actually pushing for George Michael to sing it. I think [producer] Clive [Davis] and Carlos were just like, “Well, I like this guy’s voice. This guy’s into it.” It really opened up the door for me as a songwriter and a solo artist. I don’t know that I would’ve been able to have the success I’ve had with the solo album had I not done “Smooth.” It’s hard when you’re just “the guy from Matchbox Twenty.” I’m really, really thankful for that whole period.
Clive and a lot of them really wanted to try and recreate that when [Santana] did his next record, [2002’s Shaman]. Me and Carlos were both really against the idea, so instead I wrote a bunch of songs on that next record. I wrote a song that Mary J. Blige did and I wrote a song that Seal did, a song that Musiq Soulchild did. I wound up getting to work with Carlos without having to try and be like, “Oh, ‘Smooth 2’!”
Because “Smooth” was such a big song of summer, what song do you think might rule summer 2015?
That’s hard to say. What rules my playlist isn’t necessarily what’s ruling the radio right now, all the time. I go through these hiatuses of listening to stuff when I’m making a record so that I’m not copying too much. I’ll come out of the cave right now and then it’ll be, “Have you guys heard that new Adele record, it’s awesome!” I end up being a little behind. Right now I’m just excited about the new My Morning Jacket album. My Morning Jacket is something that’s ruling my airwaves.
Matchbox Twenty formed in 1996, and you guys haven’t put out anything since 2012’s North—are you working on anything new?
We put out North and then we toured for a year and a half all over the world. Then I spent the rest of the time working on this solo record. We never really stop. We obviously want to do something big for the 20th anniversary of our first record. And we plan to always keep making music and keep touring, just right now it’s impossible—it really takes a lot of effort to do two projects at one time. I actually just talked to Paul [Doucette] from Matchbox, who’s my best friend, trying to figure out what we’re going to do as soon as I get this ship in the water. Once this gets floating then I’ll feel a little safer to start talking about what that’s going to be. But there’s definitely going to be something on the horizon, especially for the 20th anniversary. | positive |
As Liverpool get ready for a busy month of league and cup football during September, Danny Ings is keen to work as hard as possible to ensure he remains in the best possible shape if a first-team call comes his way.
While the majority of Brendan Rodgers’ squad are away with their respective countries on international duty, Ings - now classified as over age for England U21s - is using this invaluable time on the training field to put in maximum effort as he tries to impress the manager.
With the start of the Europa League on September 17 getting underway with a trip to Bordeaux, and a Capital One Cup tie with Carlisle United looming at Anfield six days later, Rodgers will need his whole squad at his disposal.
And, after an encouraging debut as a substitute during Saturday’s desperately disappointing Anfield defeat by West Ham, Ings is hoping his display will have shown the manager that he is ready when needed.
“On a personal level it was great to make my first appearance for the club but at the same time it was a game to forget about,” Ings told Liverpoolfc.com.
“To be fair to the fans they gave me a great ovation even though we were 2-0 down with 10 men, so that was really pleasing.
“I come in every day and work hard. There’s a lot of quality players here who have been brought in for big money, as everyone is aware of.
“I made a huge step coming in from Burnley with all due respect, to Liverpool so for me I knew I had to be a lot more patient than the other strikers that we’ve got here.
“I’m working hard every day to improve so that when I do get my chances I can take them with both hands and enjoy the moment.”
Ings admits he hasn’t spoken with Rodgers about potential involvement in the forthcoming cup games, but it’s clear from conversation that a first start in a red shirt would mean a lot to him.
The No.28 said: “Fingers crossed [I'll make my first start], but that’s always in the manager and his staff’s hands. All I can do is be ready for when I’m called upon.
“It’s going to be an exciting time with all the games coming up playing Thursday and Sunday football, so hopefully I’ll get more chances.”
Ings was also quick to praise teammate Dejan Lovren for his mental strength after the defender spoke candidly following Saturday’s Anfield loss to West Ham.
“It’s always hard for defenders," said Ings. "For example, if myself as a striker miss a sitter, it gets forgotten about, but as a defender you get punished a little bit more from the press and people like that.
“We [as a team] put our arm around everyone who makes a mistake because everyone is human at the end of the day.
“It’s like that in a game because everybody makes them, but we can just look forward now and go from there.
“Dejan is a fantastic player and a great asset to the football club. He’s a great man off the pitch as well so we’ve always got our arm around players who mistakes, but it was a team performance at the end of the day, it wasn’t just Dejan.”

Yoda has lived for hundreds of years and seen several lifetimes’ worth of change. Most likely he’s stopped by Maz Kanata’s castle on more than one occasion for a respite so he’s familiar with the terrain of Takodana. If you didn’t think there was this much green in the whole galaxy, it’s time to step up your veggie game.
This vegetable terrarium can be made with any greens you have on hand, but different layers and textures definitely make for an enchanting presentation. Use this as an edible centerpiece for a dinner party or as a keen way to get your youngling to eat their veggies.

I think that the way most people spend money is absolutely nuts. I see people buying things they can't really afford, or things that will have no lasting impact on their lives whatsoever, and I cringe. Be frugal, I want to yell.
On the other hand, there are people who go way out of their way to save a dollar, even When spending that dollar would really make their life better, or create some lasting memory that would impact them long after the dollar was gone. Don't be cheap, be frugal, I want to yell.
Maybe a better phrase for frugal, at least the way I think of it, is financially-efficient. And just like most mistakes I see people make, this one stems from not actually thinking about decisions and just going with the flow.
Money should only be spent if you have it, first of all. Just because everyone else has a car doesn't mean that you are somehow entitled to one, too. If you don't have money for a car, don't buy one. Never finance anything, with the possible exception of a house. Even then, I think it's usually a bad idea.
Financing things ensures that you pay more for them than you have to, whether through interest or a higher price that allows the vendor to offer free financing. If you had just saved the money and then bought the item, the opposite would have happened. You would have earned interest on the money, and thus had to spend less on the item.
If you can get ahead of that curve, you're at a real advantage. You buy a crappy car that gets you around, and then you start saving money. Maybe later you buy a slightly better one with the money you've saved. You can keep repeating that cycle, and eventually you end up with a nice car and no debt. He who finances will end up trading cars as well, keeping debt as a permanent part of his life.
But maybe you shouldn't buy a nice car anyway. The first category I see people spending too much money on is things to impress other people. If the car you have is making the difference between how people act towards you, you need to find new people to hang out with. In the end, unless you have a Ferrari or something, no one even notices.
When spending money, people think most about the price. This is completely wrong. The first consideration should be the value of the item when you're done with it. Will it be worth anything at all? A night in a fancy hotel won't. A fancy car will be worth much less. On the other hand, a used Rolex may very well be worth more. Same with some art. In the middle are things like Apple laptops, which depreciate, but not by much.
If you operate in a surplus, always paying cash for things, keeping a buffer, never going into debt, the only real cost is the difference between what you paid and what you'll sell the item for later.
You have to spend some money on things that depreciate to nothing. Food, for example, unless you're selling your sewage. If you have to buy something that depreciates, optimize for utility. With food, that means that you buy healthy inexpensive food. Unhealthy food actually depreciates beyond zero because it damages you and causes medical bills down the road.
Experiences and travel depreciate to zero, but are often worth spending money on. The key is to spend money on the things that make the expenditure worth it. Your trip to Japan will be remembered forever because of the people you spend time with, and the culture and nature you see. A fancy hotel will be forgotten.
Education, even if it's not going to lead to a income, can be worth spending money on. I paid to have a one-on-one MMA lesson from a fighter I admire. I'll probably never even fight, but it was worth the money to see the world from a different perspective and understand what fighting is about.
Experiences and education are methods of transferring financial value into personal value. You become a better person by going through them. On the other hand, that doesn't mean that every experience or educational opportunity is worth the cost. The only reason I haven't gone back to Burning Man for a full week is because I don't think it's worth the money for a week, compared to other experiences I could have. College has a lot of value, but I think it's radically overpriced. Fifty thousand a year could buy you a thousand hours of one on one training with experts at $50/hour. Instead you get bulk training, a fun social environment, and no flexibility.
The key to a good life is thinking about one's decisions, rather than going on autopilot. This extends to financial decisions. Build a surplus rather than debt; focus on the cost of things, not the price; spend on experiences and education when it's a good value.

Since its invention around 100 B.C. in China, paper as a material for spreading information has greatly contributed to the development and spread of civilization. Even in today’s information age, with electronic media omnipresent in homes, offices and even our pockets, paper still plays a critical role.
Our brains process information differently on paper and on screen. Information presented on paper involves more emotional processing and produces more brain responses connected with internal feelings. That can make printed material more effective and more memorable than digital media. Of course, paper is still in common use, and global consumption is expected to grow.
But paper use comes with significant environmental and sustainability problems. For many years, scientists have worked to develop reading media that have the format of conventional paper but can be reprinted without first having to be industrially recycled. One promising option has been to coat paper with a thin film of chemicals that change color when exposed to light. But previous efforts have encountered problems such as high cost and high toxicity – not to mention difficulty both remaining readable and being erased for reuse.
My research group at the University of California, Riverside, in collaboration with Wenshou Wang at Shandong University in China, has recently developed a new coating for regular paper that needs no ink, and can be printed on with light, erased and reused more than 80 times. The coating combines the functions of two types of nanoparticles, particles 100,000 times thinner than a piece of paper; one particle is able to get energy from light and initiates color change of the other. This represents an important step toward the development of reprintable paper.
Environmental effects of paper
About 35 percent of all harvested trees in the world are used to make paper and cardboard. Worldwide, the pulp and paper industry is the fifth largest consumer of energy and uses more water to produce a ton of product than any other industry.
Pulp extraction consumes large amounts of energy and can involve dangerous chemicals like dioxin. Paper production results in the emission of the nutrient phosphorus. That, in turn, boosts plant growth, which can use up all the oxygen in the water and kill any animal life.
Even after paper is made, its use damages the environment. Trucking paper from where it’s made to where it’s used generates air pollution. And making and using ink and toner also harm the environment, by contaminating water, poisoning soil and destroying the natural habitats of wildlife.
Our method uses nontoxic ingredients and permits repeated reuse of paper, thereby reducing the environmental effects.
Switching colors
In developing a coating for paper, it’s important to find one that is transparent but can change color to something visible – and back. That way, any text or images can be made readable like on normal paper, but also easily erased.
Our method combines nanoparticles – particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size – of two different materials that can change from clear to visible and back again. The first material is Prussian blue, a widely used blue pigment most familiar as the blue color in architectural blueprints or inks. Prussian blue nanoparticles normally appear blue, of course, but can become colorless when they are supplied with additional electrons.
The second material is nanoparticles of titanium dioxide. When exposed to ultraviolet light, they release the electrons the Prussian blue needs to turn colorless.
Our technique combines these two nanoparticles into a solid coating on conventional paper. (It can also be applied to other solids, including plastic sheets and glass slides.) When we shine ultraviolet light on the coated paper, the titanium dioxide produces electrons. The Prussian blue particles pick up those electrons and change color from blue to clear.
The printing can be done through a mask, which is a clear plastic sheet printed with letters and patterns in black. The paper starts out entirely blue. When UV light passes through the blank areas on the mask, it changes the corresponding areas on the paper underneath into white, replicating the information from the mask to the paper. The printing is fast, taking only a few seconds to complete.
The resolution is very high: It can produce patterns as tiny as 10 micrometers, 10 times smaller than what our eyes can see. The paper will remain readable for more than five days. Its readability will slowly degrade, as the oxygen in the air takes electrons from the Prussian blue nanoparticles and turn them back to blue. The printing can also be done using a laser beam, which scans across the paper surface and exposes the areas that should be white, in a way similar to how today’s laser printers work.
Erasing a page is easy: Heating the paper and film to about 120 degrees Celsius (250 degrees Fahrenheit) speeds up the oxidation reaction, erasing the printed content completely within about 10 minutes. This temperature is far lower than the temperature at which paper ignites, so there is no danger of fire. It is also lower than the temperature involved in current laser printers, which need to reach about 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) to instantly fuse the toner onto the paper.
Improved chemical stability
Using Prussian blue as a part of this process offers a significant number of advantages. First, it is highly chemically stable. Previous rewritable papers usually used organic molecules as the main color-change materials, but they break down easily after being exposed to UV light during printing. As a result, they don’t allow very many cycles of printing and erasing.
By contrast, Prussian blue molecules remain essentially intact even after long-term exposure to ultraviolet light. In our lab, we have been able to write and erase a single sheet more than 80 times without observing any apparent changes to the intensity of the color or the speed of the switch.
In addition, Prussian blue can be easily modified to produce different colors, so blue isn’t the only option. We can change the pigment’s chemical structure, replacing some of its iron with copper to make a green pigment, or entirely replacing the iron with cobalt to make brown. At present, we’re able to print in only one color at a time.
As we develop this technology further, we hope to make rewritable paper available for many uses of displaying information, especially temporary uses like newspapers, magazines and posters. Other uses extend to manufacturing, health care and even simple organizing, such as making rewritable labels.
It’s probably not feasible to hope for a completely paperless society, but we are working on helping people use far less paper than they do – and more easily reusing it when they’re ready. | positive |

Teen fisherman finds fairytale in bottle on central Queensland beach
Updated
A central Queensland teenager has made a once in a lifetime discovery on a school holiday fishing trip with his dad.
Bailey Baker, age 14, was catching whiting at Long Beach, near Keppel Sands, when he came across a bottle with a message in it washed up on the sand among a pile of driftwood.
"I was walking along the beach with the dog and there was a bottle sitting on the top of the beach with a note in it," he said.
"I was hoping there was a roll of hundred dollar notes in it."
Bailey, a regular beachcomber, said he didn't open the bottle immediately because he wanted to take it home and share the excitement with his mum, Fiona Knox.
"Mum's been looking for one for years," he said.
Whiting, lures and fairytales in bottles
Upon arriving home, Bailey showed his mum the bottle, along with the rest of the day's haul: 28 whiting and a mackerel lure.
"Bailey came in and showed me the lure first and he had the bottle in his other hand; I didn't even see the lure, all I could see was the bottle," Ms Knox said.
"It was really exciting because we had looked for one for years with the kids when they were little.
"I didn't expect to ever find one actually."
Once upon a time, there was a handsome prince named Raymundo. Raymundo was not searching for love. His heart had been broken by the evil witch Gertrude and he vowed never to love again. Instead, Prince Raymundo spent his time fishing and hunting.
After a bit of effort to get the bottle top off Bailey and his mum were surprised to find the note was actually a handwritten fairytale.
The two-page story centres around a handsome prince named Raymundo and his quest to win the love of an already-betrothed Samantha.
"I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting a fairytale," Bailey said.
Who wrote it?
The hunt is now on to find the author of the story and trace the bottle's journey.
"I was surprised that it was a fairytale; I thought maybe someone would write where they were from and how far it had been," Ms Knox said.
The pair has little to go on, with the only clue being the date the story was written, in 2013, scribed in the top right corner.
"They had very neat handwriting [and] I think that it was written by a girl," Ms Knox said.
"Four years in the water is a long time with a lot of currents and floods. I thought maybe someone let it go off a cruise boat."
Nevertheless, Bailey and his mum are optimistic of a happy ending.
"I think with social media these days, we've got a good chance, so fingers crossed," Ms Knox said.
It is not the first time the family has found treasures washed up on Long Beach.
Bailey's father Lloyd has a bottle in his cabinet at home that he found in the same spot and says it is estimated to be about 170 years old.
"Old bottles, bits of boat … we found a car on the beach one day that was bogged and someone had just walked away and left it," Bailey said.
Her name was Samantha. They talked and danced for hours together. Samantha was immediately won over by Prince Raymundo's handsome looks and sweet charm. She also admired his noble steed.
While the search for the fairytale author continues, Mx Knox's plan is to eventually pass the story and the bottle on.
"We think with this one, we might continue the story and write the next chapter and send it on, so someone else can find it," Ms Knox said.

This mod and the Duke Nukem textures wad make's me feel like i really play a Duke Nukem game, not a mod for Doom. The only weird thing I find is the fact that the blood from the corpses and the footprints are vanishing after short time. I was looking in the files for that script so I can try to make the blood and the footprints not to vanish or at least to increase the time before they vanish, but I couldn't find it. I was wandering if anyone can tell me where is this script located.

Bumping to announce a new release (v.1.07)! - download link on the first post The main changes were already displayed on the previous dev. diaries, some highlights include: New Duke enemies: N64 Trooper, Green Octabrain variant, Cyber Enforcer. New alt fires for: Shrinker, Expander, Shotgun, Chaingun, Tripbomb. New option to fight DooM enemies (they are improved to fit this mod, and their chance of appearance can be selected on a per monster, sector or level basis) The last feature was not announced since it was a last minute addition (which took me longer to implement than I thought). The Doom monsters have been improved/buildified. Many thanks to the brutal doom mod on this for the aligned/improved doom sprites and extra death/gib doom sprites. The same thanks applies to the brutal wolfenstein mod for the wolfensetin SS sprites. As for the next steps? Since there's already doom monster in here I was thinking of expanding the concept (this is DN3DooM after all). So, what would you guys want to see next? a. Add the Doomguy player class with vanilla-like enhancements (or even build-like enhancements?), or b. Add more doom enemy variants (buildified, with toggles) I know there's a third option (c), which is to add more duke player classes like kick ass, AA, etc, but that's a lot of work (like making a whole new mod inside a mod). If I set up a Patreon or something with a set goal for this, would someone be interested?

I'm not too experienced with combining mods, but that should already work, right? I mean I'm using the default damagetypes like bullet, plama, explosion, fire, plus some other custom ones. So if a weapons mod is loaded after mine, and it replaces the duke character (or adds other character), it should work, I think? Bobby wrote: How about a shadow warrior class that is in the sane vain as the Duke himself in this mod? Interesting, it's in the same ground as adding other duke classes. The only problem is that there are no shadow warrior monsters to fight against.

You could go full customization by including some more optional enemy variants (like the melee pigcop, which I believe I already brought up in this thread). Making those alien snipers drop their railgun would also be nice, plus it could share an ammo type with the already included lameduke gun (plasma cannon). A whole new class isn't necessary, just a new weapon to serve an unfulfilled niche. Maybe duke nukem advance aliens? Some of them could work, like the grey alien (which someone already ported to doom 2 a while ago). If their sprites are too low rez then you could always upscale them like you did with the lameduke octabrain, but I think their art style blends in well enough already (at least as much as the N64 trooper does). That's all I can reach for in terms of new content, we already have NTMAI so the whole "buildified doomguy" idea sounds a little redundant to me.

About the buildified doomguy, you are right about ntmai, I guess I didn't give it much thought. It's just that I play a lot in coop so I thought it would be cool to have duke and doomguy fighting monsters from both universes together (someone suggested this idea some time ago and it grew on me). So if a buildified doomguy is a no-no, how about a vanilla doomguy with enhancements?

Hit the Road With an Outdoor Adventure – cinematium Toggle Navigation Home Articles Privacy Policy Hit the Road With an Outdoor Adventure Published by silver on April 6, 2022 First, you need to plan where you would like to go on your outdoor camping trip. Second knowing what your budget for spending might be for your camping trip. If you have older children let them be a part of the planning to where they would like to go and what they would like to do on an outdoor camping trip. If you have younger children you might want to stay closer to home, if this is the first time to be outdoors and spending a night. Children can get fussy and tired riding for a long distance. It is better to be well planned than to start out without a planned trip. Lay out the direction you are going and how far you will have to travel to get there. Make sure you have enough room to carry the essentials who will need for your outdoor adventure. Here is a list of essentials you might need for your outdoor camping trip. 1) Take a tent or a canopy to stay warm and dry. 2) You will need sleeping bags or hammocks and warm covers. 3) Bring your cooking utensils for cooking outside. If staying in a campground they will have a fire pit to cook on. You will need to buy wood or bring charcoal for cooking. A fire lighter is essential. 4) A lantern will be handy for extra light at night. Flashlights are good to have with you. 5) Having comfortable folding chairs or lounges can be used for sleeping on or just sitting around the campsite. 6) You will need coolers and closed containers to keep your food cold and safe from animals. 7) Outdoor games and activities should be planned to have for that special time with the kids when your out camping. Sharing stories around the campfire are part of camping, 8) Make sure you pack just what you need for clothing, sometimes you can over do it. Always bring a jacket or sweatshirt in case the nights would be cool. 9) Plan your food menu before you leave so you will not bring more than you need for each meal. 10) Always have the healthy snacks for the trip and your camera to take those special pictures to have to enjoy later. 11) Kids like to bring their special toy or animal to sleep with so they feel safe and comfortable. An outdoor camping trip can be a very memorable time for a family to enjoy being together.

Most people will agree with this. Where our views might differ is in the types of challenges we face. As a differently abled woman, these are some of the challenges I face: Pity from society is one of my biggest challenges. When society pities us, it is a constant provocation. When you pity someone, you are saying “I am better off than you, poor you, who doesn’t have the advantages that I do”. Society means well, they think they are being compassionate and they are. However, pity from society has a way of debilitating a person with disability. If you grow up being pitied, what follows is self-pity. A person’s brain is a very powerful tool. Differently abled women who grow up in this type of environment can develop several types of sophisticated defense mechanisms. This can be detrimental to a person’s mental health, making us vulnerable to several mental disorders. So pitying us does not help. What will help is people recognizing that we can do anything we set our minds to. Tell us there is nothing that can stop us if we work hard and have determination and focus. Difficulties in finding independence are common for refugee differently abled women. Sometimes how I feel is I don’t have the right to be angry with people because I might need their help tomorrow. Let me give a classic example. I used to have a roommate. She was Eritrean and she absolutely believed that I should not do housework, which worked out fine because I have a job and it is difficult to juggle the two things together. But what happened is I became dependent on this woman. And that made me feel trapped. If I was in my country, I would have my family’s support and I could be mad at them and they would still be there for me. But I am not in my country. I am dependent on this woman to take care of me. Which makes it very difficult to confront her or be angry at her. Now, I’m happy to report, I am living on my own and I like it. When I need assistance with housework, I am usually in a position to just hire someone to do it. There are differently abled women out there who still feel like I did, trapped. So, my friends, when you assist a person with disability, do it for yourself because you have a good heart and are guided by your beliefs. Don’t expect the differently abled to smile at you every day and thank you every time. If we ask for assistance, assist us whether you like us or not. Kindness is its own reward. Next is the difficulty to find a life partner. I gave you the example of my roommate above. Society had so much admiration for my roommate: “Look at this kind compassionate woman who is living with a person with disability out of the goodness of her heart”. Society is not wrong. She was very kind to me. But imagine if I had a husband or a wife. Society would view him/her the same way they viewed my roommate. No matter how accomplished or how good a person we are, society will sympathize with the wife or the husband of the differently abled woman. God forbid, even your partner could feel that way. As if he/she is doing you a favor by being with you. The relationship wouldn’t be between equal partners. So, my friends, remember; when we differently abled women are in a relationship, we also contribute, we also care for our partner. The above scenario is if you are lucky enough to find a partner. I cannot count the number of people who ask me “are you married? Do you have children”. When I answer no, a lecture always follows, not counting the number of men who try to take advantage of the situation. Society puts a lot of pressure on us to have children any way we can. Society tells us to lower our standards, to not wait for marriage, to have a child any way we can. I am one of the few lucky ones because I had a great mother. Mom told me to educate myself, to better myself as much as I can. If a partner came along, fine. If not that’s ok. She told me to never lower my standards and she also said if I do my best and be the best person that I can be, God will take care of the rest. I also have a great stepfather who married my mom knowing she had a differently abled child. That is not common in my culture. He is my hope. There might be another man/woman out there who is like him. I will wait for that man/woman and I know God has a plan for me. So, my friends, it is insensitive to ask differently abled women and girls if they have children or not. It is equally insensitive to convince us to lower our standards with the argument that our children will take care of us when we grow old. I know you mean well, I truly do, and I thank you for being compassionate enough to advise us, but it doesn’t help. What it does is lower our self-esteem and consider any partner that accepts us without putting consideration to their character. Society has a view that women with disability are very fragile. So, whenever we make a mistake, nobody wants to correct us. When we say something wrong, again nobody corrects us because “how dare you criticize a woman with disability?” This makes us continue doing or saying the wrong things while thinking we are doing ok. However, it reaches a point where people can’t stand it and they distance themselves from us and we are left thinking, “What happened?” or “What did I do wrong?”. So, my dear friends, if you see us doing something wrong or if we say something wrong, correct us, we can take it. There are people out there who equate having a sexual relationship with a differently abled woman to pedophilia. They believe that any man who approaches a woman with disability for a relationship is taking advantage of her. They are not. We are women just like every other woman out there. We are not fragile or in need of protection in this case. One last thing; please do not make decisions for us without our consent. When I was in high school, I was part of a youth Organization called NUEYS (National Union of Eritrean Youth and Students). I was absent during one meeting. They were deciding a chairperson for our high school’s branch of NUEYS in that meeting. They nominated me to be the chairperson, but then changed their mind because the office was on the third floor. Had I been asked I might have agreed with them or not. But I was not asked. Another incident, when I got into law school, on our first day of class our director called me in to his office and advised me to change my choice of study because law school classes were on the second floor and they couldn’t change their location just for me. So, my dear friends, again I know you mean well, but when deciding things for us, please involve us in your decision making.

I have no doubt that all of us parents have the same common goal, to raise confident, able kids. So I thought it would be fun to pull together 7 activities and ideas to help enforce those characteristics!
7 Ways to Boost A Child’s Confidence
I absolutely love this activity because it helps kids to view themselves in a positive light. Not only will they draw themselves, the also have to write at least 6 positive words that describe themselves. To print this off, stop by this post here. This is a fun activity to complete once or twice a year to watch how they grow!
2. Creative Art
Let kids create and enjoy the process of art without strict instructions on how the end result should look. Here’s a wonderful post by a friend of mine on how to foster creativity in your kids.
Marbled shaving cream prints are one of our favorite creative art projects because each one ends up so unique based on how the kids want to drop and swirl.
3. Display Kids Art
Kids are naturally proud of their work — boost their confidence by showing it off around the house! Here’s 15 ways to show off their work without giving your house that cluttered feel.
When you run out of wall space, let them choose which pieces they want to keep up and which ones they want to store away in their very own Smash Book.
4. Read Character Building Books Together!
Here’s a great place to start: 75 Books that Build Character
Here’s another one that looks awfully cute: Hey! You’re Great! by Cami Carlson.
Confident kids know the world is bigger than them but also that they are big enough to make a difference in the world. Teach kids kindness with the giving game where they surprise their family members with fun little surprises day after day.
6. Make a Be Yourself Board!
When I bumped into this idea on Pinterest I absolutely fell in love! A board full of words and inspirations that remind us we are special and that it’s ok to be ourselves! Make one for the kids room so it’s the first thing they see when they wake up.
7. Let Them Decorate Their Own Room
Their room is a space to call theirs, it’s the perfect place to start learning how to take care of something. Have them be in charge or all aspects from keeping it clean, to rearrange and decorating. And speaking of decorating these recycled paper garlands are some of our favorite beginner decorations!
After a busy day building confidence it’s time to fuel back up! We are huge fans of Horizon crackers and we love all the work they are doing to help promote growing curious and confident kids!
P.S We love eating snacks outside, it’s another opportunity each day to get some fresh air. Throw a quilt on the grass and enjoy a picnic snack! Here’s my little cutie diving in to her box of crackers.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A zoo in Madison is welcoming twin polar bears as its newest residents.
The 2 1/2-year-old bears named Sakari and Suka are living in the new $9.1 million Arctic Passage exhibit at the Henry Vilas Zoo. The Wisconsin State Journal reports the exhibit opens Saturday.
The polar bears are sharing the new 1.7-acre complex with two grizzly bears and three harbor seals. The species will live in separate yards.
Visitors can watch the polar bears swim in their 46,500-gallon pool through glass. The pool is more than five times larger than the zoo's former exhibit for polar bears.
The zoo's previous polar bear, Mishka, died in 2013 at the age of 30.
The Arctic Passage exhibit is the biggest project in the Madison zoo's 104-year history.

MADISON, Wis.--- Dane County's Henry Vilas Zoo is expanding its family.
Zoo officials announced Thursday that the zoo will welcome two-and-a-half-year-old polar bear twins to the zoo's new Arctic Passage exhibit in time for its grand opening this summer.
The polar bears, Suka and Sakari, are coming from the Como Zoo in St. Paul, Minnesota. Once they arrive, the Henry Vilas Zoo will house two of only 60 polar bears in AZA-accredited zoos in North America.
Arctic Passage is the largest expansion in the Zoo’s 104-year history, covering more than 1.7 acres.
“We not only have winter weather that some days only polar bears can love, but soon our zoo will have one of the premier exhibits in the country to showcase these incredible animals,” County Executive Joe Parisi said in a release. “Building Arctic Passage and being one of only a few places with these bears speak directly to the priority we here in Dane County place on conservation, and taking better care of the place we call home.”
The Arctic Passage exhibit is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend. According to the zoo, only $270,000 is left to be raised for the Arctic Passage project. | positive |
Shouldn’t we be talking about Hillary Clinton’s startling proclamation during Monday night’s debate that every American has “implicit bias” on race relations?
When asked by moderator Lester Holt (the only time he asked a direct and exclusive question of the Democratic Party’s nominee) “Do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people?” Clinton didn’t just throw cops under the racist bus, she threw us all under:
Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone. Not just police. I think unfortunately too many of us in our great country, um, jump to conclusions about each other. And therefore I think we need all of us to be asking ourselves hard questions about, you know, why am I feeling this way.
This startling accusation comes just weeks after referring to “half” of Donald Trump supporters as members of a “basket of deplorables” who are “irredeemable” in her eyes. And yet, the comment has largely gone unnoticed.
would you say that everyone’s a little bit racist hillary — Sonny Bunch (@SonnyBunch) September 27, 2016
Our Salem colleague Hugh Hewitt jumped on the comment immediately and made a prediction:
"I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone." That's going to launch quite a long debate tomorrow. — Hugh Hewitt (@hughhewitt) September 27, 2016
Yet, the debate never came. Barely even a discussion.
More people are talking about her smarmy shimmy during the debate than her outrageous accusation against every American.
Heather MacDonald at City Journal blasts away at Clinton’s assertion that “implicit ias” exists in our criminal justice system and is somehow inspiring police officers to randomly gun down innocent black men:
Clinton reiterated her call for “implicit-bias” training for officers. The premise of such training is that police officers are shooting black males out of such bias. Yet,four studies have come out this year alone that demolish this charge. They show that if there is bias among police officers in their shooting decisions, it works in favor of blacks and against whites. “Implicit-bias” training, based on a lie, is a grotesque waste of resources at a time when officers are desperate for more hands-on tactical training that will help them make those crucial shoot/don’t shoot decisions in the field, or avoid being put into such an excruciating situation in the first place.
But, on closer parsing of her remarkable statement, it’s important to note that she made much more than an accusation in this pandering response to Holt, she made an admission.
Lester, I think implicit bias is a problem for everyone… I think we need all of us to be asking ourselves hard questions about, you know, why am I feeling this way.
She’s including herself in these sweeping generalizations.
Is Hillary admitting that she's a racist? "Why do I feel this way?" What? #debatenight — Larry O'Connor (@LarryOConnor) September 27, 2016
She is, after all, the person who referred to young black men as “super predators,” that she intended to “bring to heel” isn’t she?
It’s nice to see Hillary admitting to her own “implicit bias” on race issues, but I wish she’d speak for herself. | positive |
I've finnaly made it work on my arch! :-)
Here are my PKGBUILD files and repo for most of the packages if anyone is interested.
First things first...
- I'm using "compiz-ubuntu" from unity-for-arch repo because "deepin-compiz" still needs old boost (1.53) version...
OF COURSE THE USUAL WARNINGS APPLY: IT WILL EAT YOUR CAT, HAMSTER... BLAHBLAH :-)

And some obligatory screenshots... (those are "deepin-movie" player and deepin-terminal below... btw)
UPDATE: After contacting FaSheng (one of the developers on Deepin team) and showing him the current progress I made, he pointed out that I forgot to add python2 to makedepends and that's why those packages wouldn't build (startdde and deepin-desktop-environment). Now, they're all in OBS repo and available for testing.

Ronan Lyons: When will the construction sector build enough homes?
The recent Budget brought in measures aimed at stimulating the supply of newly built homes put on the housing market. For much of the last ten years, the construction of new homes in Ireland has been dominated by one-off homes, which are often built on family-owned land and are not associated with a transaction or indeed a mortgage.
Throughout the period 2009-2012, for example, between 75% and 80% of all homes started were one-offs. Approximately 23,400 homes were started in those four years – a tiny figure given the annual requirement for between 30,000 and 35,000 new homes. But of these, just 5,000 were homes that came on the market.
Since then, the fraction of all commencements that is taken up by one-offs has, thankfully, fallen. Each year, roughly 3,000 one-offs are started – a figure that is largely unchanged now in 2016 compared to 2011 or 2012. However, “non-one-offs” have increased in the same period from just 932 started in 2011 to a projected 5,000 this year.
Clearly, this is still well below the 30,000 new homes that are required for the housing market. But it does represent an improvement. That improvement can also be seen in the number of transactions. The number of transactions involving newly built property has risen from 2,700 in 2011 to 6,000 in 2015.
The number of transactions of new properties is higher than the number of commencements of new builds for a peculiar reason: the country is still working its way through properties built in the bubble which were never occupied. It is also for this reason that new homes completed have consistently exceeded new homes started since the crash. Completions data actually track connections to the electricity grid – and it is easy to imagine properties that were built in 2007 or 2008 only finding an occupier, and thus electricity customer, in 2013 or 2014.
The most recent figures on building starts go to August 2016. The graph accompanying this article shows the cumulative number of commencements, each year from 2011 through to 2016. It allows a comparison of how much has been built up to a particular month across each of those six years. The first thing to note is the oddity in 2014. That was due to Local Authorities introducing a new system of Building Control in March of that year – and a pre-emptive rush in commencements as the move to a new system had caused confusion.
Cumulative completions nationally, by year
Due in particular to strong January-February and May-June periods, it is clear that building of new homes in 2016 has increased significantly compared to 2015. And all three years – 2014, 2015 and 2016 – represent a huge improvement on the previous three years, where fewer than 5,000 new homes were started.
Overall, it looks as though one third more new homes will be started in 2016 than in 2015. It is worth pointing out that this refers entirely to the period after the Central Bank rules were in force. One of the justifications for the recent first-time buyer assistance was that the developers complained of a lack of buyers due to the deposit requirement.
However, there is scant evidence of this in their own activities. For every 2 homes started in 2013, five new homes are being started now – and that upswing is down to homes for the market, not one-off self-builds.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that the Department of Housing set targets prior to the introduction of the new measures for how many new homes would be started and completed. This will allow a counterfactual or benchmark against which the actual figures can be compared.
Based on current trends, though, and assuming no big uplift in construction after the Budget, the country is on course to start 10,000 new homes in 2016. Thankfully, this is more than double the 2013 amount. But if it takes three years for the construction sector in its current state to double activity, it will take a further six years for the sector to reach a level close to the demand required.
This, of course, assumes that the mechanisms in place for building social housing at scale. The week’s homelessness figures show just how important proper mechanisms for social housing are. This is as important as addressing high construction costs in bringing about adequate housing supply and thus a healthy housing system. | positive |

In Los Angeles, a 62-year-old woman has filed a lawsuit against police officers who she says roughed her up during an early morning encounter last month in a Koreatown church parking lot.Ok Jin Jun is suing the Los Angeles Police Department, the city of Los Angeles and two police officers.The altercation was captured on surveillance video. Footage shows an LAPD SUV following Mrs. Jun's car as she pulled into her church's parking lot for early morning prayer service on April 14. Mrs. Jun says the officers followed her after she honked her horn at them because they were blocking the church driveway.But this was not a traffic stop, and Mrs. Jun was not being pulled over.When Mrs. Jun stepped out of her car, the officers confronted her, demanding to see her registration. Mrs. Jun, who does not speak much English, tried to call 911 for an interpreter, and also tried to call her husband. That's when things escalated with the officers, and a physical struggle ensued."Without citing her for any traffic law violations, they immediately grabbed her by the wrists and twisted her aggressively down to the floor," David Yun, Mrs. Jun's son, detailed in a Facebook post . "When she fell onto the ground (as you can see from the video footage), they handcuffed her and while in full submission, they forcefully rammed the side of her face onto the floor."It's difficult to see what's happening in the video, but before it was all over, four more LAPD cruisers had arrived on the scene, and Mrs. Jun was bleeding from severe facial wounds that required medical attention. Paramedics took her to a local hospital, where she was treated for her injuries.Here's David Yun's full Facebook post regarding the incident:It doesn't appear as though Mrs. Jun was charged with anything.A police source allegedly told CBS2 that the officers in question are "being reviewed for a routine use-of-force report," and also that "mental health" may have played a factor in the incident. What does that mean? And are we really calling early morning bloody altercations with church-going ahjumas a "routine use-of-force"?Meanwhile, Mrs. Jun tells CBS2 that she remains deeply traumatized by the incident."I'm even fearful of people because police officers are the ones I'm supposed to be able to trust."More here: LAPD Officers Allegedly Roughed-Up A 62-Year-Old Woman In A Church Parking Lot | positive |
Senator Kristen Gillibrand's Chubby Case Against Paul Nungesser Falls Apart Paul Nungesser is the man charged by the so-called #MattressGirl, Emma Sulkowicz. If you know the case, you know that two (or three?) additional people stepped forward to accuse Nungesser after Sulkowicz began making these allegations. If you know the case, you know that two (or three?) additional people stepped forward to accuse Nungesser after Sulkowicz began making these allegations. Let's deal with two of them. Let's deal with two of them. Let's deal with the male accuser. Let's deal with theaccuser. From Cathy Young: From Cathy Young: Oh my. Several days after my Daily Beast piece, which featured not only Nungesser's account of his relationship with Sulkowicz but social media messages tending to support his version, the feminist blog Jezebel ran a purported rebuttal titled "How to Make an Accused Rapist Look Good." Much of the story, by Jezebel editor Erin Gloria Ryan, dealt with Sulkowicz's not entirely convincing explanation of her friendly messages to Nungesser days after what she says was a terrifyingly violent rape. But the piece also contained a new revelation meant to bolster the claim that Nungesser was a serial sexual predator: the existence of a hitherto unknown male victim, identified by the pseudonym "Adam." Adam, who also graduates this week, told Jezebel that "he was close friends with Paul during his freshman year in 2011" and that "one fall night, in the midst of an emotional conversation in Paul's dorm room...Paul pushed him onto his bed and sexually assaulted him." He claimed that after much self-doubt and internal struggle, he finally reported this incident, first to a student society to which both he and Nungesser belonged and then in a formal complaint to the university in the fall of 2014. Adam rather melodramatically lamented that my Daily Beast piece "invalidates and completely erases [his] experience."
Oh my -- it invalidates your experience. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO SOONER?!! Oh my -- it invalidates your experience. There's a girl on Twitter calling herself "NachoSarah." Hot chick, actually. But she tosses off lots of crude jokes. There's a girl on Twitter calling herself "NachoSarah." Hot chick, actually. But she tosses off lots of crude jokes. One oft-repeated joke is about how effeminate the men she sees around her are. One oft-repeated joke is about how effeminate the men she sees around her are. It goes like this: It goes like this: i was out with a guy on a date and he ordered a quinoa salad and i was like hey remember when men used to carry swords But that joke probably invalidates Adam's experience, so forget I said anything. But that joke probably invalidates Adam's experience, so forget I said anything. This gets better. This gets better. ... According to Adam, during this conversation Nungesser asked him to sit on the bed, rubbed his shoulder and back, then "gently" pushed him down and proceeded to stroke his leg and finally massage his crotch "for approximately 2-3 minutes" while Adam froze in shock. He was finally able to muster the will to get up and leave.
Long story short, external evidence -- Facebook posts, texts -- tended to support Nungesser's denial more than Adam's charges. For example, "Adam" claimed that Nungesser kept bothering him. But the record shows that it was Adam who kept seeking Nungesser out after this dubious incident.

And then "Adam" says Nungesser really turned up the heat of harassment: And then "Adam" says Nungesser really turned up the heat of harassment: ... Adam's credibility was further sunk by his rather fanciful complaints of "retaliation" by Nungesser in a class they shared. These "deliberately aggressive acts" consisted of sitting too close to Adam or to his friends, which left Adam "distraught and traumatized," and complimenting some points Adam had made in a class discussion (which "felt like he was claiming a collective sense of power"). And thus Paul Nungesser carried out his continued Campaign of Erotic Terror.

In the end, the investigators concluded that Adam was "unreliable" and that his story simply did not add up, and recommended that Nungesser be found "not responsible." A woman charged him with "sexual assault" too, and now writes, anonymously, at Jezebel, that Nungesser was actually found guilty of this "sexual assault" before he A woman charged him with "sexual assault" too, and now writes, anonymously, at Jezebel, that Nungesser was actually found guilty of this "sexual assault" before he "appealed it away." Let's look at this allegation of a "sex assault" -- from the complaining witness herself: Let's look at this allegation of a "sex assault" -- from the complaining witness herself: At this point, I should be used to seeing backlash against Emma Sulkowicz, but I still wasn�t fully prepared for what came this week: endless tittering of people around me in real life and in my social feeds saying they "weren't sure" about Emma�s choice to carry her mattress to Columbia�s graduation; the insistence that Emma's alleged assailant Paul Nungesser had been "proven innocent" by Columbia and exonerated by the NYPD; the posters someone put up around Columbia with Emma's picture on them, calling her a "PRETTY LITTLE LIAR." Every time I read another version of this narrative--that Nungesser merely "picked the wrong friends," that the complaints against him were a calculated vendetta--my stomach flopped. Don�t forget: before he appealed away the conviction, Paul Nungesser was found responsible for sexually assaulting a woman at Columbia. And I'm writing this because that woman was me. When I filed the complaint against Paul, I didn't know it would turn into a national event. It was over a year before Emma started carrying that weight, months before what happened at Columbia helped sparked a national dialogue about rape on college campus. I was just trying to do the right thing. The incident happened my junior year at Columbia, when Paul followed me upstairs at a party, came into a room with me uninvited, closed the door behind us, and grabbed me. I politely said, "Hey, no, come on, let's go back downstairs." He didn't listen. He held me close to him as I said no, and continued to pull me against him. I pushed him off and left the room quickly. I told a few friends and my boyfriend at the time how creepy and weird it was. I tried to find excuses for his behavior. I did a decent job of pushing it out of my mind. You managed to push it out of your mind? What a soldier. You managed to push it out of your mind? What a soldier. Now you may be thinking, "Okay, well in the Second Part of this story, Nungesser creeps into her room and rapes her!" Now you may be thinking, "Okay, well in theof this story, Nungesser creeps into her room and rapes her!" Um... nope. That's the whole story. He pulled her against him for a few seconds, tried to entice her to have sex, and then did nothing more when she pushed him away. Um... nope. That's the whole story. He pulled her against him for a few seconds, tried to entice her to have sex, and then did nothing more when she pushed him away. This is the "sex assault" he was found guilty of -- and here she quotes, pedantically, Columbia's definition of "sex assault," which includes "Any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object without a person's consent."

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WTHR) - Some IU graduate students took the battle over federal taxes directly to Congressman Trey Hollingsworth.
They held a sit-in in his Greenwood office on Monday.
About a dozen IU grad students took over the third floor outer office of Congressman Hollingsworth.
They vowed to stay until the 9th District Republican changes his support of President Trump’s tax plan, or they are arrested and hauled off to jail.
The students claim that if either bill is passed as is, it may force them out of grad school.
They receive a small pay checks for teaching, doing research and helping professors. They also get tens of thousands of dollars in free tuition. The GOP proposal would tax those benefits.
Amanda Waterhouse, who earns about $16,000 a year, figures her taxes could come to about $14,000.
“The issue is we simply cannot afford to pay this taxation that would be levied against our tuition remission,” Waterhouse said. “We would have to drop out of graduate schools and there would be no graduate school labor force that could run the public education system in this country."
The students stayed at Hollingsworth's office well into the night and live streamed several portions of their protest on the Campus Action for Democracy Facebook page. In those videos, you can see an officer tell them they either had to leave or be arrested. Several of them did leave, but some stayed behind.
In the video, one protester who left could be heard relaying a message from one of the protesters who stayed inside. They claimed the building's landlord told police the protesters could stay inside Hollingsworth's office but if they stepped foot outside into the hallway, the landlord wanted them arrested.
A spokesperson with Greenwood Police confirmed to WTHR.com Tuesday morning that no arrests were made. | positive |

Forest elephants have suffered unprecedented butchery for their ivory tusks over the past decade, according to new numbers released by conservationists today in London. Sixty-five percent of the world’s forest elephants have been slaughtered by poachers over the last dozen years, with poachers killing an astounding nine percent of the population annually. Lesser-known than their savannah cousins, a genetics study in 2010 found that forest elephants are in fact a distinct species, as far removed from savannah elephants as Asian elephants are from mammoths. These findings make the forest elephant crisis even more urgent.
“At least a couple of hundred thousand forest elephants were lost between 2002-2013 to the tune of at least sixty a day, or one every twenty minutes, day and night,” says Fiona Maisels, a researcher with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) who headed the research. “By the time you eat breakfast, another elephant has been slaughtered to produce trinkets for the ivory market.”
The analysis adds new data from 2012 and 2013 to a landmark study last year, showing that despite some stepped-up conservation efforts poaching continues apace.
Forest elephants are found primarily in Central and West Africa, largely inhabiting—as its name suggests—the Congo Rainforest. However, this means that it’s not only more difficult to monitor populations hidden by great forests, but also that it’s easy for poachers to kill them and getaway with immunity. Many of the countries in which they are found are also beset by poverty, instability, and corruption, making forest elephant conservation incredibly challenging.
For example, forest elephants used to have their biggest stronghold in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), but relentless poaching means that the country has lost many of its forest elephants.
“The current number and distribution of elephants is mind-boggling when compared to what it should be,” said Samantha Strindberg, also with WCS and co-author of the paper. “About 95 percent of the forests of DRC are almost empty of elephants.”
Today, Gabon holds the most surviving forest elephants with about 60 percent of the global population.
Despite the 2010 study showing that forest elephants are a distinct species, this has yet to be recognized by the IUCN (the International Union for the Conservation of Nature). The group currently lumps forest and savannah elephants together and lists them as Vulnerable. However that listing hasn’t been updated for nearly six years.
Governments are beginning to respond. Just yesterday, the Obama Administration released an ambitious new strategy for tackling global wildlife crime, including toughening restrictions on ivory and shutting loopholes. Many countries, including most recently France, have begun to destroy their ivory stockpiles. Although much of this comes years too late for many of the crippled populations of forest elephants.
“These new numbers showing the continuing decline of the African forest elephant are the exact reason why there is a sense of urgency at the United for Wildlife trafficking symposium in London this week,” John Robinson, WCS Chief Conservation Officer and Executive Vice President of Conservation and Science with the WCS, says. “The solutions we are discussing in London this week and the commitments we are making cannot fail or the African forest elephant will blink out in our lifetime.”

Police raided an alleged 'bomb-making factory' in Birmingham last night as five men were arrested on suspicion of terror offences.
After one of the arrests near central Birmingham, an army bomb disposal team was called to the scene.
Searches were ongoing last night at a number of properties in Stoke and Birmingham.
Police said the arrests were part of an intelligence-led investigation that was still on-going.

Two of the men, aged 32 and 37, were arrested in the Stoke area of Staffordshire while another two, aged 18 and 24, were arrested at their home addresses in Birmingham.
Another man, 28, was arrested at a different location in Birmingham.
Staff and guests at the Pentahotel, which is on the edge of a police cordon, were advised to stay inside as a precautionary measure.
Veshh Kumar, a concierge at the hotel, said: 'We had seen police activity since about 12.00pm then all of a sudden at about 4pm the bomb squad and the army arrived.
'The police told us to keep all the guests safe indoors. We don't know which building it was or what has taken place.'
One resident, who lives in nearby Bishopgate Street, added: 'Bath Row is cordoned off at the moment.
'There are about seven police vans and i would estimate over 35 police officers.
'The bomb disposal unit is there and I have seen a white bomb disposal robot. There is also an ambulance and two fire engines.
'I have never seen a police operation like this in my life.

West Midlands last night refused to comment on claims that it was bomb making factory was raided.
But a security source told The Times that the raid was on a bomb-making factory and a significant step forward in a long-running investigation involving M15 and the West Midlands counterterrorism unit.
He told the paper that police and the bomb squad were searching one property that police suspected was being used to make home-made bombs.
The West Midlands fire service tweeted: 'Fire crews have been supporting police colleagues with an ongoing operation in the Lea Bank area of #Birmingham.'

The alleged plot could be the most significant since Tarik Hassane and Suhaib Majeed were jailed in 2014 for planning a drive-by attack on police officers and soldiers in central London. They were jailed for life in April.
In April this year police arrested five people in connection with terror offences in Birmingham and at Gatwick airport which were reportedly linked to attacks on Brussels and Paris.
The most recent bomb plot in the UK was led by Mohammed Rehman and Sana Ahmed-Khan, a husband and wife from Reading, who were planning an attack in central London in June last year. | positive |
Just in case you haven't seen them in the pages of VICE: The Blobby Boys is a band composed of three slimy green guys who may be mutants… or possibly aliens. There’s Max on guitar, whose head is shaped like a toy top; Adrian, the drummer, distinguished from Max by his cyclopean eye and Bugs Bunny-like buck teeth; and Kristof, also on guitar, whose heart-shaped head is always framed by a red ascot. The Blobbys are a violent trio who kill rival bands without a second thought and don’t take kindly to prying detectives or worshipful fans. All three carry knives, drop acid, and have generally bad attitudes. Basically, you wouldn’t want to mess with The Blobby Boys. But Alex Schubert’s second collection of their misadventures is a lot of fun, a sort of weird synthesis of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons and Sid and Marty Krofft kids' shows, channeled through a stoned Johnny Ryan-like sensibility. And maybe with a little of Kaz's great Underworld comics in there, too (minus the anarchic exuberance). And yeah, as noted by others, there's a Gary Panter-ish vibe thrumming through as well. Still, even with all those echoes, Blobby Boys 2 feels fresh and original.
Blobby Boys books are actually little anthologies, presenting the Boys’ adventures along with separate little tales that star oddball “special guests.” In the first book, we were introduced to Cyber Surfer, Punk Dad, and Aging Hipster, and in this volume there's breakout star Fashion Cat. Schubert uses these archetypal figures to take deadpan satirical aim at various pop culture tropes. Fashion Cat, for example, is a great caricature of the rich and famous. He introduces himself thusly: “When I was a kitten I never dreamed I would become the most-famous model in the world.” Fashion Cat seemingly has it all. But like the Blobbys, he also has a nasty disposition. He buys a restaurant only so he can burn it down (though I have to say it seems gentlemanly of him to at least buy it first), and throws a baby out of a window for annoying him. But alongside his arrogance and meanness there’s loneliness and existential angst: “I… I don’t want to talk about my movies,” he tells an admiring fan, “because I don’t know who I am anymore.” This very funny parody of insufferable celebrity self-absorption strikes me as unfortunately close to reality.
Schubert's sense of humor is smart-stoopid. He renders his characters and landscapes in an irresistibly flat, shape-y, iconographic comics style, a sort of Bushmiller gone punk. In some sequences there’s an early video game vibe, such as when Max throws a flaming bottle at a police car. We see the bottle strike the boxy police car, and in the subsequent panel the car is perfectly upended, no sound effects, no movement lines—the stillness of the action being the joke itself. Schubert's unique color scheme, composed of muted colors—tomato red, mustard yellow, cool blue and reptile green—feels somehow punk and '80s New Wave at the same time.
The narratives here are a little more sustained than in the first book, which were sometimes mere two-paneled non-sequiturs. In an interview in the back with VICE Art Editor Nick Gazin, Schubert talks about his process a little bit, revealing that the art in BB2 was actually all done on a computer with Flashpoint. But that's okay (says me, the original computer-art hater): I think it actually looks really good, a step up from the first book. The Blobbys and the rest of the crew are otherworldly enough that they look even better with a bit of that human touch removed from their rendering.
I recently heard a podcast called Street Carnage, in which the host, Gavin McInnes, gave his list of who he considers the greatest living cartoonists (which I take with several huge grains of salt, btw). He divides these creators into two categories: those who take artistically after Picasso, which means they put the imagery over the idea, or those that follow Duchamp, meaning they put the idea before the art. I would definitely put Alex Schubert in the Image-over-Idea category. As in the police car sequence, the drawing carries the gag; sometimes even just the flatness of the imagery makes it work, as in Schubert's many interstitial splash pages. One new character, a member of "The Glider Gang," is so geometrically depicted, hang-gliding through the sky, you can't help but admire his perfect pose, while laughing at the straight-faced absurdity of the image. Another page, featuring Max crashing through a wall on a motorcycle, has a somehow stationary feel, not so much an action shot as a tableau. It would make a good poster. When Gazin asks Schubert if his comics are about the medium of comics, Schubert answers in the affirmative. His foul-mouthed, geometric Blobby Boys and their motley crew of co-stars are irresistible. | positive |
Foreclosure Scam: How the Banks Always Win
The foreclosure crisis in the United States is not showing any signs of slowing down. Almost no regions and cities of the country are immune from it. The real estate debacle is affecting every region especially Florida, Nevada, Arizona and Michigan. Detroit and Las Vegas can be considered the two metropolitan areas which have been hit the hardest. In the “Motor City”, which used to be the crown jewel of American manufacturing for a century, one can buy a decent house for $25,000. Vast areas of Detroit look like a futuristic no-mans land: an accurate depiction of capitalism’s advanced decay.
In Las Vegas, “for sale” signs are everywhere with an overwhelming majority of the properties being bank owned. Properties which used to sell for $350,000 before the 2008 crash are now selling for $150,000. In Phoenix Arizona, the situation is even worse. Investors with cash, either foreign or domestic, are taking advantage of the bargains. Canadians and Germans are buying condos in Florida, attracted by the climatic appeal. An American investor explained to me his overall strategy. He wouldn’t touch any properties in Detroit, which he views as “doomed”, but he is currently buying houses in Nevada and Florida. His plan is fool proof because of its simplicity. He buys foreclosed properties for cash, then does a minimum of repairs, as needed, and just rents them. He is gambling that the market will eventually pick-up and he will then sell the properties for a substantial profit.
There are indeed plenty of opportunities for the investor sharks taking advantage of the crisis. The name of the game is cash readily available. This is the way the real estate market is getting “cleaned up”. But overall the big beneficiary of all this are still the banks. The foreclosure scam, it should be called as such, had three different phases. In each one of them, the banks made a remarkable profit.
Phase One: Inflate the Value of the Housing Market
Between 1998 and 2008, the “value” of real estate in America was going through the roof. The inflation was created by the banks. At the time as we remember, “everyone with a pulse” could get a loan. Stated income was perfectly acceptable, as well as almost “no money down” loans. It was a gold rush, and a lot of people got conned into the banks’ game. Appraisers, working for the banks, would over estimate the value of properties. Independent mortgage brokers also saw an opportunity to make a lot of money in this process. Eventually all the loans, with many shaky ones, will get re-bundled in what was supposed to be AAA rating investment.
Phase Two: Burst the Bubble and Create a Panic in Order to Get Money from the Taxpayers
This was of course the bank bailout during the fall of 2008, during the transition between the Bush administration and the Obama administration. In the process, banks scammed the US taxpayers of more than 700 billion. They created a panic, on the premise that the “sky was going to fall” on all of us if they didn’t get this cash flow. Banks took advantage of this windfall by going on a shopping spree. Wells Fargo bought Wachovia, while Chase purchased Washington Mutual.
Phase Three: Foreclose on Homeowners and Sale for Cash
This is the phase which we are still in. Despite countless promises, the Obama administration is still doing nothing to stop this phase. People bought overvalued- by the banks- properties and are now “owning” a piece of real estate that is worth less than the loan. They have two options: either a short sale and they can walk away with nothing or, if they don’t want to let go of their properties, they can face the slow and painful process of foreclosure. Regardless, in the medium terms, they will get kicked out of their houses. Anyone with any knowledge about gambling is fully aware that the “house always wins”. This applies with the banks, the dice were loaded from the get go, and the banks still have the upper hand. | positive |

NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP) partner Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) recently reviewed the systems critical to sustaining crews in orbit and returning them safely to Earth aboard the company's Dragon spacecraft.
SpaceX is one of three commercial space companies working under NASA's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) initiative to develop spaceflight capabilities that eventually could provide launch services to transport NASA astronauts to the International Space Station from U.S. soil.
During the preliminary design review at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif., company engineers presented NASA representatives and aerospace industry experts detailed analyses of Dragon systems critical to keeping crews safe in orbit and during re-entry operations. From basic life support functions, including pressurizing Dragon with breathable air, to stocking the capsule with enough food and water for as many as seven crew members, the spacecraft must be designed to protect humans in the harsh conditions of space. Company designers and NASA engineers dissected the plans carefully to make sure no details were overlooked.
"NASA has learned a lot about keeping our astronaut crews safe throughout a mission, and we don't want those lessons to be forgotten," said Ed Mango, NASA's CCP manager. "So, we're sharing a lot of what we already know, and the company is adding its own innovations to suit its needs and meet its challenges."
The review detailed equipment and software aboard Dragon that would help guide crews to the International Space Station for rendezvous and docking operations. This included discussion on SpaceX’s planning for software code which, in this modern era of spaceship design, is just as critical as the hardware design. The company also described how the spacecraft will be operated both by its onboard crew and by ground controllers.
While SpaceX works to further develop its crewed Dragon spacecraft, it also is preparing for the upcoming launch of the third of at least 12 cargo missions to the space station with a remotely controlled Dragon under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract.
"SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft was designed from the outset to accommodate the upgrades necessary to safely carry people, so we’re excited to have reached the halfway point in our agreement with NASA to design those features,” said Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX president and chief operating officer. “As we leverage our experience successfully delivering cargo both to the International Space Station and back to Earth, SpaceX remains committed to providing the safest manned flights ever conducted."
In December, the company completed preliminary design reviews covering the ground systems and ascent, which are the first two phases of flight. Completion of the orbit and entry review clears the way for SpaceX to proceed with detailed designs for its integrated space transportation system, comprised of its Dragon spacecraft, Falcon 9 rocket and supporting ground systems.
The review was the seventh milestone for SpaceX under CCiCap. The company is on track to complete all 15 of its CCiCap milestones by the summer of 2014. All of NASA's industry partners, including SpaceX, continue to meet their established milestones in developing commercial crew transportation capabilities.

About: Hi everybody! I'm Filippo from Bologna, Italy! My friends call me Orso (Bear) :) I follow Instructables since 2009, and it has always been one of my favourite websites. I've bulit a lot of fantastic things t...
Hi to everybody, dear friends! :)
I'm Filippo, I'm italian (from Bologna), so I apologize for my bad english XD It's a long time since follow Instructables, but I've never made one of my own. This is my first one!
I love Borderlands and Nerf Guns, so... the result is simple! I made a replica out of a Nerf Strongarm, one of the most common and cheap guns of the N-Strike Elite series. It's a beautiful toy, like all of the other Nerf Gun. But obviously, it looks like a toy (and for a good reason!). Our aim is to turn this little guy in a Borderlands weapon, and this time I took my inspiration from Hyperion guns: yellow is the main color, and there are always some white stripes on the chassis. The name of our creation will be HYPERION STRONGARM! :D Not very clever... but effective. So, let's start with a shopping list!
Remember that I'm writing down italian prices for everything. I know for sure that in America Nerf Guns are cheaper. Sigh.
You'll need:
- Nerf Strongarm (17€ on amazon Italy)
- Sand paper grit 80 + grit 240 (5€ total)
- Masking tape (in Italy we call it "nastro carta": paper tape), several sizes (3€)
- Spray paint: white, yellow, black (15€ tot)
H20 Spray paint is always good, but I have used a more generic paint for hobbies and decoration. Luxen is a very good quality and cheap brand here in Italy. Avoid spray paint that make an extremely thick layer or are to glossy. Matte paint are the best for this kind of plastics.
- Primer spray for plastic (4€)
- Good quality acrilic paint, chrome-silver effect (9€)
- Little brush, good quality (2-3€)
- X acto Knife, or a similar pen cutter (5€)
Tot: circa 50€
You will also need:
- a philips screwdriver
- mask for painting if you are making the project inside
- paper, water
ATTENTION: as always, if you are using spray paint (even H2O based) the best choice is to work outside, in a well ventilated area. We don't want to paint our lungs! :) Pay attention to the cutter too.
NOTE: A lot of this material (almost everything except for the gun) will not be used entirely for the project. In fact, the "real" usage of the paint and other things will cost you 30€ circa, Nerf included. :) | positive |

By David Cromwell and David Edwards
When is an act of terrorism not terrorism? When the victims are officially sanctioned state enemies. This was clear from the political and media response to the assassinations of senior ministers of the Syrian ‘regime’.
On 18 July, a bomb attack on the national security headquarters in Damascus killed three top Syrian ministers: Defence Minister Daoud Rajiha, President Bashar al-Assad's brother-in-law Assef Shawkat and General Hassan Turkomani. Two days later, Syria's national security chief, Hisham Ikhtiari, died from injuries he received in the attack.
Reuters reported U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta saying that the situation in Syria was ‘spinning out of control’. For good measure, he added that President Bashar al-Assad's government would be held responsible if it failed to safeguard its alleged chemical weapons sites. The brazen echoes of the propaganda campaign against Iraq a decade ago could be heard reverberating around the world’s news media.
UK defence minister Philip Hammond, standing alongside Panetta at a Pentagon news conference, said that the bomb attack demonstrated Syria’s growing instability:
‘I think what we're seeing is an opposition which is emboldened, clearly an opposition which has access increasingly to weaponry, probably some fragmentation around the edges of the regime as well.’
Neither men described the bombing as a terrorist attack.
On the same day, an Israeli tourist bus in eastern Bulgaria was attacked by a suicide bomber, killing at least seven people. US President Barack Obama had no hesitation in describing the bombing unequivocally as a ‘barbaric terrorist attack’.
On the BBC News at Ten, news presenter Huw Edwards delivered the required script about the attack in Syria:
‘A bomb attack strikes at the heart of the Assad regime in Damascus.’ (BBC News at Ten, headlines, 18 July 2012)
No mention of the dreaded ‘t-word’ here.
The BBC’s ‘security’ correspondent Frank Gardner reported of the ‘Assad regime’:
‘But the government, which blames terrorists funded from abroad, vows to defeat the rebels.’
Here the accusation of terrorism could be safely put in the mouth of the enemy ‘regime’. Those five words, ‘blames terrorists funded from abroad’, hint at dangerous truths that simply cannot be explored on BBC News. Again, the safe option is to attribute the allegation to the Syrian ‘regime’, thus undermining the claim.
US columnist Glenn Greenwald notes:
‘Needless to say, if such an attack — perpetrated by an “Islamist” suicide bomber — were aimed at a Western government or those of their allies in the region, it would immediately be branded Terrorism and vehemently denounced. One need not speculate about that, as it has already happened. It was called the Pentagon part of the “9/11 attack,” where a plane was flown into America’s military headquarters. More analogous was Nidal Hasan’s 2009 assault on the U.S. military base at Fort Hood, which was instantly branded Terrorism by American media outlets, Washington officials, and a majority of Americans.’
Greenwald continues:
‘Indeed, even if this kind of attack were directed at Western-supported tyrannies in the region — such as, say, Saudi Arabia or Bahrain — the Terrorism label would be widely applied by mainstream Western outlets. In fact, the alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi Ambassador — not civilians, but just this single official from a repellently oppressive regime — was instantly denounced as Terrorism.’
When 'Terrorists' Become 'Freedom Fighters'
One of our messageboard visitors posted an extract from a New York Times article on the apparently increasingly effective use of improvised explosive devices by the Syrian ‘insurgency’:
‘Joseph Holliday, a former American Army intelligence officer who is now an analyst covering Syria for the Institute of the Study of War, in Washington, said the changes were not in the rate of attacks, but in a rapidly evolving prowess . . .
‘ . . . The exact means by which anti-Assad fighters have improved their manufacture and use of bombs, and who trained them, is not clear.
‘Mr. Holliday said the capability "comes in part from the expertise of Syrian insurgents who learned bomb-making while fighting U.S. troops in eastern Iraq"'.
The poster, Peter, then made the point that:
‘while they were “fighting U.S. troops in eastern Iraq”, we were told in no uncertain terms that they were evil, terrorist bad guys. Islamo-fascist, Al Qaeda linked, Saddam sympathisers who had to be mercilessly slaughtered.’
Now apparently similar forces in Syria using similar tactics to attack an ‘enemy regime’ are cast as ‘rebels’ or 'freedom fighters' helping to foment a ‘revolution’ as part of the latest stage of the ‘Arab Spring’.
Peter concludes of the bomb attack in Damascus:
‘the tenor of the coverage clearly has nothing to do with moral or logical consistency, and everything to do with the reported act’s utility to Western power.’
By contrast, the violent killings of the Syrian ministers were greeted by ‘Socialist, Independent columnist’ Owen Jones with:
‘Adios, Assad (I hope)’
Jones also tweeted that 'this is a popular uprising, not arriving on the back of Western cruise missiles, tanks and bullets'.
We asked him on Twitter:
'So you disagree with Charles Glass, Patrick Seale, Alastair Crooke et al that the West is supplying arms, training, forces..?'
and:
'John Pilger argues US elites are waging a proxy war on Syria. What do you know that he doesn't know? Any sources?'
Again, the Independent's Owen Jones evaded the questions. We asked Richard ‘lenin’ Seymour and Jones whether they opposed US-UK involvement in Syria. They both said that they did, but neither had yet managed to evaluate the evidence supplied by analysts like Charles Glass, Patrick Seale, Alastair Crooke, Aisling Byrne and others on US-UK arming of the Syrian conflict.
There were two key responses: first from Jones:
Media Lens: 'Have you condemned Western interference in Syria in the Independent, Owen? Any links?'
Jones: 'I haven't written a Syria column. If you want past articles condemning wars from Kosovo to Libya though.'
and then from Seymour:
Media Lens: 'What about arms? Have you written anything on Glass, Seale, Crooke, Byrne, WashPo [Washington Post] evidence on the US-UK proxy war? Is it imp [important]?'
Lenin: 'It's important, but I don't think we would evaluate that evidence in the same way. I'll prob write something about this later.'
Two more joined the fray: Mehdi Hasan, political director of Huffington Post UK (and, until recently, political editor of New Statesman) and Sunny Hundal, editor of the Liberal Conspiracy website and a Guardian contributor. Their Tweets descended into juvenile bouts of ‘humour’ mocking Media Lens for its supposed po-faced stance against ‘imperialism’:
Owen Jones:
I bet Media Lens are a right laugh down the pub.
Mehdi Hasan:
@OwenJones84 @sunny_hundal Bet I'm more secretly pro-Iraq-war than you are...
Owen Jones:
@mehdirhasan @sunny_hundal I'm going to call my first-born Bush. BEAT THAT
Mehdi Hasan:
@OwenJones84 @sunny_hundal I married a Texan. Beat that!
Sunny Hundal:
@mehdirhasan @owenjones84 I was hoping it wouldn't come to this.... but... I'll say it. I'm in love with GW Bush's daughters. *shame*
Owen Jones:
@sunny_hundal @mehdirhasan I intend to marry one (or both), with Rumsfeld as best man, preferably in the Pentagon control room
Mehdi Hasan:
@OwenJones84 @sunny_hundal I've been to the Pentagon control room #iwinagain
Owen Jones:
@mehdirhasan @sunny_hundal Blimey, Mehdi. Maybe MediaLens are right after all. Bet you're on nickname terms with Petraeus
Then, in a farcical nod towards Ronald Reagan making a 'joke' about bombing Russia, Hundal said:
@OwenJones84 @mehdihasan This isn't fair, I wanted to marry Bush's daughters! You two stealing my thunder *prepares to bomb Iran himself*
If anyone wonders just what is wrong with ‘mainstream’ left journalism, the above performance in response to serious questions about Syria and media coverage provides a clue.
There are plenty of damning facts that need to be highlighted. For example, the New York Times reports that the Obama administration is 'increasing aid to the [Syrian] rebels and redoubling efforts to rally a coalition of like-minded countries to forcibly bring down the [Syrian] government'. US officials have been in talks with officials in Turkey and Israel 'over how to manage a Syrian government collapse.' One senior US government insider said:
'You'll notice in the last couple of months, the opposition has been strengthened. Now we're ready to accelerate that.'
The newspaper also reports that the US government is 'working with Syrian rebels to establish a transition process for the day that Mr. Assad's government falls'; a day that the US is clearly determined to bring about. 'We're looking at the controlled demolition of the Assad regime,' said Andrew J. Tabler, a Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The CIA is 'helping to vet rebel groups... in Turkey... and to establish new ties to fighters who may be the country's leaders one day.'
The pattern of such US 'interventions' is long and bloody, and the age of the 'American Empire' has not yet ended.
Propaganda Rule Number One
It should hardly need to be emphasised that criticising Western state and corporate propaganda about events in Syria should in no way be interpreted as support for Assad. To suggest this, as a few critics have done, is cynical, ignorant and deceitful. Over the years, we have been accused of being pro-Milosevic, pro-Saddam, pro-Gaddafi, pro-Iran, pro-Assad, and even pro-North Korea, when what we have done is expose Western media bias against these official enemies of the West. As a matter of simple common sense it should be obvious that highlighting systemic bias in the corporate media is important, regardless of one’s moral evaluation of the targets of that bias.
Glenn Greenwald sums up what matters here:
‘I’m certainly not calling into question the heinous violence and oppression of the Syrian regime (though I think Western Manichean reporting on the nature of the fighting and the identity of the rebels has been typically and substantially oversimplified). The point here is that we pretend Terrorism has some sort of objective meaning and that it is the personification of pure evil which all decent people (and Good Western nations) by definition categorically despise, when neither of those claims is remotely true.’
Noam Chomsky often cites a definition of terrorism from a US army manual as: ‘the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious, or ideological in nature. This is done through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear.’ By this definition, the major source of international terrorism is the West, notably the United States with the UK an ever-reliable accomplice.
The point is that Western ‘mainstream’ media outlets report from a propaganda viewpoint that accords with Western state ideology. Violence perpetrated by enemy actors is ‘terrorism’; what ‘we’ or ‘our’ allies do is ‘counterterrorism’ or ‘peace-keeping’. This is arguably the first rule of propaganda. But the question we keep asking is: Why are we the good guys?
Despite its publicly-funded obligation to be fair and impartial, BBC News is forever trapped in this ideological mire. Consider the BBC article asking the loaded question, ‘Is it time to intervene in Syria?’, and answered by ‘five leading analysts’. The very question presupposes some kind of ordained right by Nato and its allies ‘to intervene’. None of the five ‘leading analysts’, all linked to Western governments or their major institutions, even question the premise of the question. And in any case who should intervene? According to the BBC, it’s that amorphous entity known as ‘the international community’ which, as Chomsky points out, is ‘a technical term referring to Washington and whoever happens to agree with it’. (‘Hopes and Prospects’, London, 2010, pp. 196-197).
That this ‘international community’ has shocked and awed its way around the Middle East and beyond - obliterating lives, nations’ infrastructures, hopes and dreams - is the kind of rational analysis so often deemed irrelevant by BBC News and the rest of the ‘mainstream’ media.
SUGGESTED ACTION
The goal of Media Lens is to promote rationality, compassion and respect for others. If you do write to journalists, we strongly urge you to maintain a polite, non-aggressive and non-abusive tone.

Lukas Podolski says the "great support" of Arsenal's travelling fans can help secure a vital victory at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
Arsene Wenger's side head across London this weekend to face Harry Redknapp's relegated side but history is against them - Arsenal have never won a Premier League game at Loftus Road.

It remains to be seen whether QPR are invigorated or deflated after losing their top-flight status last week but Podolski insists that Arsenal's performance is what matters most.
"I think you must not concentrate on the other team, we must concentrate on ourselves," he told Arsenal Player.
"We have the quality. We have a great team and we're on a run in the last few matches. We must fight. It's not easy but we have the quality and we want the three points from QPR and the next matches.
"Every match is a final now. You must fight for the three points. We want nine points and I think when we get nine points, we will be in the Champions League.
"I don't look at what QPR are doing. They will fight but I think we have the ability to beat them. I hope for more great support from the Arsenal fans like usual." | positive |
May 20, 2014; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Miami Heat center Chris Bosh (1) and guard Dwayne Wade (3) walk off the floor after defeating the Indiana Pacers in game two of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2014 NBA Playoffs at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The Miami Heat were hoping to have their big three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh opt out and then take advantage of free agency to get a couple of pieces to put the Heat back on top. They quickly picked up commitments from Charlotte Hornets’ forward Josh McRoberts and Los Angeles Clippers’ forward Danny Granger but lost James to the Cleveland Cavaliers. It looked like the Heat could opt to rebuild but instead they re-signed Bosh and Wade and signed Cleveland Cavaliers’ forward Luol Deng to replace James.
Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders believes the Heat are being overlook.
I do think the Heat are being overlooked a bit. I’m curious to see how this team does next season. Chris Bosh will obviously have to step up and take on a bigger offensive load. Dwyane Wade’s health is a big question mark too – will he be the All-Star we know or the part-time player from last year? Miami could be better than expected, even though they lost LeBron James. I definitely think they’ll make the playoffs, I’m just not sure how far they’ll go. I think they’re a notch below the East’s contenders. They’re pretty solid, as you said, but there’s no question they’re going to miss LeBron.
The Heat aren’t necessarily being overlooked, most just don’t believe they can be a championship contender any more.
Bosh averaged 16.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 51.6% from the field, 33.9% from three and 82.0% from the free trow line. Wade went for 19.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 54.5% from the field, 28.1% from three and 73.3% from the free throw line.
